Chapter 97: Completely Won Over
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Although he had received Xuanyuan Po’s favorable impression points, and this could be considered as him already succeeding in beating Xuanyuan Po into submission, Sun Mo didn’t stop.
It was rare to see such a durable target.
Now, they were in a training room and the spectators were his students. Hence, Sun Mo wasn’t worried that his trump card would be exposed to the public. He could give it his all and unleash his ultimate skill.
This feeling was like constantly abusing a weaker opponent in a fighting game. It was simply too awesome!
If his opponent was any other student, Sun Mo wouldn’t dare to do this. Li Ziqi, Lu Zhiruo, and the sickly Tantai Yutang would be utterly crushed.
Jiang Leng might be able to withstand a few moves, but the amount of time he could persist for would definitely not be as long as Xuanyuan Po.
This muscle brain combat-addict had a single plus point, and that was that he wouldn’t concede. He was already abused to such a state, but he was still gritting his teeth and trying to find an opportunity to counter-attack.
In terms of the will, he was truly very strong.
Hence, Sun Mo could be at ease and continue the spar. Immemorial Vairocana was something that would grow with the more he used it.
Sun Mo estimated that in the future, his chances of fighting would surely not be less. Hence, he treated Xuanyuan Po as a wooden pile to practice his martial skill.
Mn!
This was a wooden pile that was capable of moving.
Naturally, Sun Mo didn’t use his spirit qi from the start to the end. He depended on his wondrous moves to subdue Xuanyuan Po, and he also intentionally held back part of his strength to avoid injuring his student.
“Beautiful!”
“Beautiful!”
“Truly beautiful!”
Li Ziqi involuntarily praised. Even Tantai Yutang and Jiang Leng were nodding subconsciously. Sun Mo’s martial skill, leaving aside its power level, just its magnificence and gorgeousness was already enough to shock people.
His fighting style was like a beautiful dance at the end of a banquet, bringing extreme enjoyment to the viewers!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +15. Friendly (201/1,000).
There was no need to talk about Lu Zhiruo. Her beautiful face was blushed due to her excitement.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo +25. Friendly (443/1,000).
In a s.p.a.ce that couldn’t be seen by the four students, golden pages would form above Xuanyuan Po’s head as the wooden blade hit Xuanyuan Po again and again.
In the end, Xuanyuan Po’s defense broke down after being continuously hit. Those golden pages were like money with huge denominations flying over while creating whistling sounds.
After another strike, Sun Mo halted.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Xuanyuan Po continuously retreated over ten steps before he regained his footing.
“Satisfying!”
Sun Mo wasn’t an aboriginal of Middle-Earth Nine Provinces. In the past world, he had never experienced combat in his twenty-plus years of life. Hence, he wanted to stop but couldn’t do so because he was addicted to this feeling.
He truly didn’t want to stop.
However, if he continued fighting, he was worried Xuanyuan Po’s spirit would be crushed to the extent where he began to doubt life. From then on, Xuanyuan Po might never be able to recover from this setback.
Xuanyuan Po was unconvinced in his heart, but he no longer had the strength to retaliate. His hands were trembling continuously. After he tried moving a few times, his silver spear fell onto the ground with a clang.
Xuanyuan Po’s expression instantly darkened.
“This is the first time my Silver Paste fell on the ground ever since I embarked on my martial path.”
Xuanyuan Po had a look of disappointment on his face.
The atmosphere felt a little heavy, but Tantai Yutang couldn’t help but mock, “What the h.e.l.l is silver paste? Is that the name of that silver spear?”
“Teacher, I’ve lost!”
Xuanyuan Po bent his waist and bowed. After that, he picked up his spear and took out a cotton cloth before slowly wiping it. He gritted his teeth and wanted to control his emotions. However, tears still flowed unbidden down his face.
“You actually fought very well.”
Sun Mo walked over and patted Xuanyuan Po on his shoulder. “Also, I’m in the blood-ignition realm and am seven years older than you. If you won, would I still have any face left?”
Sun Mo consoled.
“A loss is a loss. Teacher, there’s no need to console me!”
Xuanyuan Po raised his arm to wipe off his tears.
“Teacher is so impressive!”
Tantai Yutang congratulated.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tantai Yutang +5. Neutral (7/100).
“Tsk, my judgment was right. This fellow is really a good bootlicker!”
Li Ziqi cast a stealthy glance at Tantai Yutang.
Jiang Leng didn’t speak, but the number of favorable impression points he contributed wasn’t small. It was also 25, the same as Lu Zhiruo.
“Teacher, what’s the cultivation art you are using?”
Tantai Yutang smiled as he asked.
The other four students glanced at Sun Mo immediately. This was especially so for Xuanyuan Po. Not only was he looking at Sun Mo, but his ears were p.r.i.c.ked up as well. He looked like a mouse who was sneaking around for food and listening for the footsteps of the house cat.
“I will tell you guys once you all reached my standard.”
Sun Mo kept them in suspense.
“Tsk, Teacher, that is so loathsome!”
Tantai Yutang acted like he was someone with an amiable personality. Regardless of his tone or expression, he could instantly cause others to let down their guards and feel a connection with him.
However, Sun Mo wasn’t fooled. This brat was the most scheming one out of his five students. Also, his acting skills were so good that he gave people the chills.
“It should be a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art!” Xuanyuan Po suddenly spoke.
Tantai Yutang’s lips twitched while silently musing in his heart. ‘Do you feel that peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts are like cabbages that can be found everywhere?’ He had already investigated Sun Mo’s background.
Sun Mo’s father was a genius of the Central Province Academy and was the old headmaster’s favorite pupil. However, after entering the Darkness Continent and exploring an abandoned ruin, his father disappeared.
Generally speaking, Sun Mo’s father should be dead.
Because of this accident, Sun Mo’s father didn’t even pa.s.s down his ultimate skill to Sun Mo. Hence, where would Sun Mo have learned a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art from?
The Central Province Academy had a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art, and it was the school’s ultimate treasure. However, only the headmaster of each generation could learn it. Because An Xinhui’s father didn’t become the academy’s headmaster, let alone learn it, he hadn’t even seen it before.
For this, An Xinhui’s father had even quarreled with her grandfather before. A huge commotion was caused and this incident spread throughout the entire teaching industry.
“Yes!”
This time around, Sun Mo didn’t deny it. After all, he was a little vain too. If he wasn’t strong enough and didn’t have a powerful trump card, how would his students be willing to follow him?
“As expected. No wonder I couldn’t see through your moves!”
Xuanyuan Po felt relieved. There was nothing to be upset about. In the future, he would put in more effort in training and simply fight until he won.
“By acknowledging him as my teacher, can I be considered as having picked up a treasure?”
Li Ziqi silently mused.
Peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts were very limited in number. Hence, being able to meet a teacher who knew one was extremely fortunate for her.
“Hehe!”
Tantai Yutang laughed softly. He silently mused, ‘Even if Sun Mo knows one, he won’t teach us. For a cultivation art of such level, even if we are his personal disciples, we won’t have a chance to learn it before we have major contributions.’
After all, it was too precious.
“Why are you laughing?”
Sun Mo suddenly turned to Tantai Yutang. He recalled the system’s evaluation of this youth, saying that Tantai Yutang was a time bomb. Also, the system had given him a mission to get Tantai Yutang to truly recognize and acknowledge him as a teacher from the bottom of his heart, instead of just acknowledging him on the surface.
“I feel happy because I have a chance to learn your cultivation art in the future.”
Tantai Yutang explained.
“Mn!”
Sun Mo laughed in his heart. He naturally wouldn’t believe even the slightest bit of Tantai Yutang’s words.
“Heh, have you felt the power of the time bomb yet?” the system mocked.
“Is there any meaning to issue such a mission?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. Tantai Yutang’s att.i.tude reminded him of those trouble-making students he had met back in the no. 2 high school.
“Yes, this is a tempering exercise for you. Do you think any ordinary teacher can become a great teacher? What is a great teacher? They are people who can turn the impossible into the possible, transform rotten wood into something magical, and subdue those lofty and arrogant geniuses...”
The system explained.
“Making a genius like that to willingly bow and acknowledge you is truly something to be proud of even if you are a great teacher,” the system added.
“As long as you guys work hard, I will teach it to you guys.”
It was as though Sun Mo had taken out a cake. No matter what, he had to find some rewards to encourage his students to take the initiative in cultivating.
The eyes of his five students immediately brightened. This was especially so for Xuanyuan Po. He even had to gulp down his saliva.
(In any case, I don’t believe it!)
Tantan Yutang didn’t have the slightest shred of belief with regards to Sun Mo’s words.
“Aiya, I recalled it!” Lu Zhiruo suddenly called out.
“What’s wrong?” Li Ziqi was concerned about her little junior sister.
“Teacher, the cultivation art you were practicing before me that time... Wasn’t it precisely this?” Lu Zhiruo speculated.
“What do you think?”
Sun Mo counter-asked. Although that wasn’t the Immemorial Vairocana, it was also a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.
“I...I...”
Lu Zhiruo was emotionally moved. Although she was not very clever, she could still remember some of it.
“That is the first level, practice well!”
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo on her head. He was truly fond of this pure little girl.
Upon hearing this, Tantai Yutang’s expression changed. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly? Was Sun Mo truly a generous and magnanimous good teacher?
Speaking from his heart, Tantai Yutang would definitely be reluctant to teach anyone else a cultivation art of this level.
“I...I will!”
Lu Zhiruo was extremely moved.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo +30. Friendly (473/1,000).
Indeed, Sun Mo didn’t place too much importance on a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. Leaving aside that he knew two, no, it should be three counting the Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique. Even if he only knew one, he wouldn’t hesitate to teach it to his students.
(If I told them that I possess three peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation arts, would they jump in fright?)
(Wait a minute!)
(With Immemorial Vairocana, in the future, wouldn’t I be able to challenge cultivators who know these pinnacle cultivation arts, and learn them after beating the arts out of them?)
(So, how is it only three?!)
Naturally, he had to increase his combat strength before this. If not, if he was beaten to death by others, that would truly be too much of a loss.
Sun Mo glanced at the floating golden pages in the air. With an exertion of his will, they flew toward him like pigeons returning home. They then automatically compiled into a book.
On the cover, there were five huge words in radiant gold.
[Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique]!
“Note: The Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique is a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. This is ? of it, a fragmented version.”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. The efficiency of Immemorial Vairocana was simply too low. It seemed like he had to quickly gain more contribution points to buy time emblems and use them to increase his proficiency of this divine skill.
As for cultivating it himself the traditional way?
Sorry, Sun Mo had never thought about this before.
Li Ziqi noticed Tantai Yutang’s expression. Although she didn’t show her feelings on her face, she had some bad opinions about him.
This sickly person was truly scheming. Besides, he seemed to be mocking their teacher. Should she think of an idea to chase him away?
Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo were crazy fans of Sun Mo.
And adding to the fact that Sun Mo had obtained a crus.h.i.+ng victory in his battle against Xuanyuan Po, Jiang Leng and the combat addict himself also felt very impressed by it. This caused the atmosphere of the tutorial lesson to become much more harmonious.
Reality was like that. If a teacher was capable, the students would definitely be convinced.
Sun Mo was very satisfied when he saw the situation. He then began teaching his lesson.
