Chapter 1329 In the End, It’s Just Beating Till Convinced!
The ‘poor-performer’ picked by Sun Mo was called Bai Xiaoquan. He was 15 years old this year and was a weakling at the third level of the body-refinement realm. As his family was rich, he managed to get into a famous school by paying a hefty sponsorship fee.
Given the Bai Clan’s financial capabilities, they couldn’t afford to feed him heavenly and earthly treasures, but they could let him soak in medicinal baths every day. However, there weren’t any improvements.
As time passed, Father Bai had given up on his son.
Bai Xiaoquan was picked by Sun Mo, but Father Bai wasn’t happy at all. It was because his son was too much of a trash and there was a high possibility that he’d be sent back.
“Don’t worry and just leave him to me!”
Sun Mo consoled him.
The third student was called Shang Li. His father was a great teacher by the name Shang Han.
“I went to find out. That girl is called Gongsun Huiying, a talented junior from the Gongsun Clan. My son is definitely not her match.”
Shang Han’s voice was very soft and he didn’t even dare to look at Sun Mo. He was trying to give Sun Mo a preventive jab first so that his son wouldn’t be complained about if he were to lose.
“There’s no need to worry. Just leave your son
to me!”
Sun Mo consoled him.
Seeing how Sun Mo’s temperament was so good, Shang Han was surprised. After all, he was just a 3-stars great teacher and he didn’t have any status compared to a secondary saint like Sun Mo.
“Although the duel that will be held three months later concerns my reputation, it also concerns your future. After all, it’s a stage that will receive a lot of attention. If you guys were to win, you’d win fame. But if you were to lose, you’d become a mockery!”
Sun Mo’s tone suddenly became harsh. “Therefore, during this time, buck up and work up to improve yourself.”
His three new disciples immediately responded with yes.
The special training started.
As for Coal Briquette, Sun Mo taught her the peerless-grade saint-tier Undying Mystic Art. Because Coal Briquette was used to seeing life and death, she could pick up this cultivation art very easily. In just two days, she succeeded in refining her body and performed the first level quite well.
SU
After correcting Coal Briquette’s minor habitual mistakes, Sun Mo had nothing more to teach her.
After all, Coal Briquette was just 12 years old and a newbie. Even if he were to teach her a lot, she wouldn’t be able to receive them. However, Coal Briquette was very hardworking
The hard work she put into her training every day reminded Sun Mo of the iron-headed girl back in the days.
For Bai Xiaoquan, Sun Mo performed a detailed checkup on him. This further ascertained that his senses and vision were extremely sharp.
“You’re born to be an amazing archer!”
Sun Mo praised.
“Huh?”
Although Bai Xiaoquan had received Sun Mo’s recognition, he wasn’t happy. It was because what he wanted to be was a sword saint.
“How can everything in the world go as you wish?” Sun Mo sighed. “You’ll either waste your life away or obtain achievements in archery!”
“I… I’ll pick archery!”
Bai Xiaoquan still gave in. Being an archer was still better off than being looked down on.
“However, even though I have a peerless-grade saint-tier archery art, I won’t teach you that!”
Sun Mo laughed.
“Huh?” Bai Xiaoquan was stunned. “Why?”
“It’s because the times have changed!”
Sun Mo teased and then started to impart Bai Xiaoquan a new battle technique.
After Sun Mo came out of the training hall, his personal disciples came up to him.
“Teacher, will this work?”
Qin Yaoguang had always been cheeky and would speak whatever was on her mind.
“Of course it will!”
Sun Mo was very certain. “Technology is the number one battle prowess!”
“Teacher, how did you tell that he has talent in archery?”
Lu Zhiruo took out a small notebook, planning to record her teacher’s experience.
“Hey hey hey, your junior martial sister is a divine archer. You don’t even know this?”
Tantai Yutang teased.
“I noticed that day that Bai Xiaoquan could find his parents in the crowd at a glance. Moreover, he also dug out a piece of dry snot and flicked it out, hitting a fly.”
Sun Mo explained.
Sun Mo’s students were all astonished.
“Teacher, isn’t your observation too fine?”
Lu Zhiruo felt great despair. This was something that she’d never be able to learn in this lifetime.
As for Shang Li, even though Sun Mo had many peak-grade cultivation arts, this disciple wouldn’t be able to make many achievements in three months. Therefore, Sun Mo had Shang Li continue to practice his Bodhi Blade Art, corrected his wrong habits, and changed some moves to make the prowess even stronger while optimizing the battle tactic.
“This stance can be changed?”
Shang Li saw Sun Mo modifying the cultivation arts that he had been cultivating for over ten years. He first held doubt but quickly realized that the stance’s prowess had increased, and this took him by great surprise.
“Why not?”
Sun Mo smiled. “Every cultivation art was invented by our ancestors!”
Right now, Saint Zhou and Sun Mo went into seclusion to teach their students, not receiving any guests. It was as if they were cut off from the rest of the world, but the outside world was in a great commotion.
Many people felt that things were going to be bad for Sun Mo this time around.
For the first round, it was the butcher’s son with a bulky physique. No matter how they looked at it, he looked much stronger than the little coal miner girl. After all, the former had often seen blood and his body was also well nurtured. On the other hand, the latter was clearly malnourished and didn’t have enough to eat. In addition, she had had to do heavy labor and it was good enough that she hadn’t died from fatigue.
For the second round, both students were weaklings, so the highest possibility was for them to come to a draw.
For the third round, Gongsun Huiying would definitely be the one to win. Gongsun Clan’s sword dance was an outstanding closing performance. Without this sword dance, the banquets’ standard would drop by a lot.
As a matter of fact, the student Sun Mo picked also had his background uncovered. Although his father was a 3-stars great teacher and he was a lot stronger than ordinary people, he was nothing compared to Gongsun Huiying.
wa
Various underground gambling booths that were set up didn’t think highly of Sun Mo’s victory either.
Amidst such nervous and busy teaching and cultivating, three months passed by in the blink of an eye.
The Saint Gate had pulled funds to rebuild the arena for this great battle between a saint and secondary saint. They even added seats around to provide esteemed guests with a better viewing experience.
Of course, those who wished to get access to those seats would have to pay money!
The better the seats, the higher the price.
However, the Saint Gate wasn’t going to keep the money. They would donate it all to fund the poor students.
As Xu Chunbo’s legs weren’t good, he was unable to host the competition. Therefore, the host changed to the 7-stars great teacher Li Wanjun. After all, his reputation was great enough. The moment Li Wanjun went up to the arena, he revealed this matter.
“Everyone should thank Secondary Saint Sun! This is his idea!”
Li Wanjun’s words caused a commotion amongst the audience. Those esteemed guests who had paid high prices to access those seats suddenly felt that they hadn’t been deceived of their money.
Saint Zhou’s face instantly turned grim. What was this?
Sun Mo wasn’t the sect lord, but he already had the authority of one?
Moreover, didn’t this make him appear to be very incapable in comparison?
“The weather is clear today and it is slightly cool without any wind. What a good day for a duel. There is no time to lose, let the first match begin!”
Li Wanjun went straight to the point!
“Can the two participants for the first match please get on the arena!?”
Black Pig took gallant strides up the arena. After three months of training, his physique appeared even more majestic and he had a hint of one who could butcher ten thousand people single handedly.
At this moment, he wore training attire and held onto a golden-ringed blade.
“As this match is a competition of the individual’s capabilities, participants aren’t allowed to wear armor. Their weapons can only be ordinary blades, spears, swords, or halberds!”
Li Wanjun explained and introduced the two participants.
Coal Briquette used a dagger. After walking up to the arena, she did a somersault and jumped up, looking as agile as a monkey.
“Don’t let her get close!”
Saint Zhou threw a glance at Coal Briquette and reminded Black Pig.
This was acceptable. According to the rules, personal teachers could give live guidance during the match.
“Although I butcher pigs, I’m good at killing chicken too!”
Black Pig laughed. Usually, when he caught chickens at home, he would be able to hit his target just by throwing out his butcher knife.
Coal Briquette’s lips twitched.
“Both participants, please give your greetings!”
Li Wanjun gestured for them to stand 20 meters apart.
“Duan Zhu, third level of the body-refinement realm. Please give me your guidance!”
Sssss!
When everyone heard his cultivation level, they were all astonished. Wasn’t it too amazing for him to rise to the third level in three months?
“He must have taken some medicine!”
Some people guessed. Given Saint Zhou’s background, it’d be no problem to get some heavenly and earthly treasures to help nurture the body.
“Wang Xiaohua, second level of the body-refinement realm. Please give me your guidance!”
Gasp!
Hearing Coal Briquette’s introduction, everyone was stunned too. This child wasn’t bad either!
With Sun Mo’s ancient massaging technique, in addition to all sorts of medicinal packets, speeding up the improvement to the second level of the body-refinement realm was an easy feat. If it wasn’t because Coal Briquette had been overworked too much in her younger days, resulting in her life essence receiving damage, she’d be able to rise to the third level of the body-refinement realm too.
“That Black Pig must have taken some medicine!”
Qin Yaoguang said in disdain.
“Don’t speak rubbish. Saint Zhou has this bit of integrity!”
Sun Mo activated his Divine Sight and had taken a look at Duan Zhu’s various data. He hadn’t taken any medicine and just had an exceptional aptitude.
“Teacher, just you watch. I’ll give her an instant defeat!”
Black Pig bellowed and then charged out like a wild boar, pouncing toward Coal Briquette. His blade was over two meters long and weighed 75 kilograms, but he swung it around as easily as if it was a bean sprout.
The bigger the weapon, the clumsier it was. It’d give the opponents openings. However, this wasn’t the case for Black Pig. The golden-ringed blade was swung vigorously, sending out layers of blade wind.
Coal Briquette rolled and immediately dodged.
Black Pig gave chase.
Looking at this, Coal Briquette tried to get close to retaliate, but she wasn’t given the chance. Her opponent’s blade force was impenetrable.
“Then just wait till he gets tired!” Coal Briquette started moving around.
“Haha!”
When Saint Zhou saw Coal Briquette starting to dodge, he guessed her battle tactic too and reminded, “It’s useless. His stamina is good and his spirit qi reserve also far surpasses others his age. He won’t get weaker even if he were to swing the blade for half an hour. But you on the other hand, will you be able to last so long?”
“You’re lying!”
Coal Briquette shouted.
When Black Pig heard his teacher’s praise, in addition to Coal Briquette’s contempt, he instantly went all out and attacked even more vigorously.
Five minutes passed by.
Although Coal Briquette had been put through dangerous situations a few times, she managed to dodge those attacks.
Looking at this scene, Saint Zhou’s countenance sank and he couldn’t help but lash out, “If one tactic doesn’t work, can’t you change to another?”
Sigh!
Although Black Pig’s physical aptitude was better, he wasn’t that smart.
“Saint Zhou has given a new instruction again!”
Li Wanjun played the role of the host.
His words infuriated Saint Zhou. If he were to keep on giving guidance, wouldn’t that mean that his student wasn’t that good at adapting to the situation?
Look at Sun Mo! He hadn’t said a word yet!
Black Pig immediately went onto defense, waiting for a chance to attack. However, he realized that his opponent didn’t attack, and this made him feel at a loss, so he looked toward Saint Zhou.
“Make the decision by yourself!”
Saint Zhou didn’t dare to give any further guidance.
