Chapter 151 The Battle At Victory Dojo
The victory dojo in Central Province Academy was a huge venue that could hold 8,000 people. It had been standing for a few hundred years.
Even though it had gone through countless times of renovation, the appearance of its exterior still looked archaic and damaged and was incompatible with this era. However, everyone who saw it didnât show any sense of despise, instead, they couldnât verbalize the feelings of poetic saga and vicissitudes that they saw.
It wasnât the first time that Zhou Xu had been to this place; hence, he didnât feel any freshness. âWho do you think will win the battle later on?â
âTeacher Sun!â
Qi Shengjia didnât have any hesitation and gave his answer immediately.
âGao Ben isnât a pushover, I heard that he has a unique body-refinement art that can stimulate his bodyâs potential. It seems to be very formidable.â
Wang Hao broke the news.
âReally?â
Zhou Xu was stunned.
âOf course itâs real. Itâs said that his students have all broken through 1 cultivation level. Currently, their loftiness is at its peak and theyâre only waiting to trash Teacher Sunâs students. They are counting on this battle to make themselves famous.â
Wang Haoâs fellow villager was the personal disciple of Gao Ben; hence, he knew about this insider news.
âWho cares. Anyway, Teacher Sun will definitely be winning.â
As a crazy fan of Sun Mo, Qi Shengjia believed in him unconditionally.
The three of them had come early, but almost half of the seats had been occupied.
âLetâs sit there?â
Wang Hao saw that there were 6 pretty girls sitting near the east block; hence, he immediately moved over.
âThere are quite a lot of teachers!â
Zhou Xu surveyed the arena from his seat. The spectator stand on the north side was dedicated for teachers so that students and teachers wouldnât sit together. This way, the students wouldnât be able to ask questions and disrupt the audience from enjoying the battle.
Qi Shengjia wasnât concerned about that. He stared at the huge arena below and had feelings of unreconciliation in his heart. (When will I be able to stand here and battle against a genius?)
âA battle between the junior-grade students, what is there to watch?â
Ruan Yun complained. Had she not been dragged by Cai Tan, she would never have come to watch such a battle. âThey are all miscellaneous students of body-refinement realms. No matter how well they perform, they are still pecking against the same type of chickens!â
âJust treat it as accompanying me, ok?â
Cai Tan consoled her with a warm tone. He had come here to watch Sun Mo.
âAlright!â
Ruan Yun seemed to have a lot on her mind.
âTeacher Gu, come sit here!â
âTeacher Gu, good morning!â
âTeacher Gu, how have you been?â
Seeing that Gu Xiuxun had come, a bunch of male teachers immediately stood up and greeted her from far. They even invited her to sit together.
Gu Xiuxun replied every single one of them to not make them feel neglected. Then, she walked directly toward Jin Mujie and said her greeting.
âTeacher Jin, is Headmaster An not coming?â
Gu Xiuxun made use of An Xinhui as a topic to strike up a conversation with Jun Mujie.
âSheâll be here soon.â
Jin Mujie wasnât interested in conversing. Rather, she was holding a booklet in her hands and drawing various types of bone patterns with a charcoal pen.
Gu Xiuxun conveniently sat next to her and she sharply discovered that on Jin Mujieâs booklet, there were the words âSun Moâ on it.
âJin Mujie is unlikely to let her mind wander. She must be thinking of Sun Mo and had written his name down subconsciously?â
Gu Xiuxun was astonished. It seemed like the two of them already had in-depth interaction before and were getting along pleasantly. (Tsk, it seems like Sun Mo has managed to latch onto this woman?)
At the resting room in victory dojo.
Bang!
Lu Zhiruo pushed open the door and ran in while gasping for breath.
âThere......there are so many people!â
Lu Zhiruo was so nervous her voice was trembling. In the 8,000 pax venue, one-third of the seats had already been filled up.
One must know that typically, there would only be so many audiences during the battle of the top 10 students.
âThey must be here to watch teacher, right?â
Tantai Yutang chuckled. âTeacher, you must not disappoint them later!â
âHuh? donât you intend to go on stage later?â
Li Ziqi frowned.
âAhem, just look at me, what do you think I can do?â
Tantai Yutang took a handkerchief and covered his mouth.
Ying Baiwu saw some dark-red color appear on the handkerchief. That was the blood he coughed up.
âMoreover, I make a living using my brains. For matters like fighting, thatâs not my expertise.â
Tantai Yutang looked toward Sun Mo.
âThen what should we do now?â Lu Zhiruo was feeling worried. âJiang Lengâs cultivation level is too high so he canât go on stage. If we let Xuanyuan Po go, that will make us a bully!â
âTeacher, in any case, I will not battle those low-level miscellaneous people.â
Xuanyuan Po was hugging his spear sack and sitting cross-legged at the side, meditating. Hearing the papaya girlâs words, he spoke while facing Sun Mo. That was his lifeâs creed: he would never fight against low-grade students, never kill the weaker.
âThatâs enough, could it be that weâre going to let Baiwu go up?â
Li Ziqi felt depressed. These 2 disciples were really hard to deal with.
âIâll go!â
Sun Mo hadnât agreed, but Ying Baiwu was nodding very seriously. No matter if it was for herself, or for the gratitude she had toward her teacher for helping her escape her plight, she must fight this battle. âThatâs impossible, you didnât even receive any coaching from any teacher before. All youâve learned are low-level cultivation arts that youâve secretly seen from others. If you go up, youâll be seeking death!â
Li Ziqi felt that as the eldest martial sister, she had the obligation to take care of Ying Baiwu.
To speak the truth, after hearing the cultivation process of Ying Baiwu, Li Ziqi felt very shocked. This girl had relied on watching people secretly to learn these incomplete cultivation arts and had even stepped into the second level of the body-refinement realm. If she had been coached by a great teacher, she wouldâve been soaring!
That was right, Ying Baiwuâs father was a gambling addict and didnât work. Her mother was down with a serious illness and couldnât do manual labor. Even when she did embroidery work, once the hours were too long, she would be so tired that her nose would bleed. Hence, the entire familyâs responsibility had landed on Ying Baiwu.
It could be said that in the past 2 years, Ying Baiwu had been supporting the whole family. The price she had to pay was waking up early and going home late as she had to work incessantly.
Under such burdensome pressure, Ying Baiwu didnât have much time to cultivate. However, she still managed to step into the second level of the body-refinement realm. Just by thinking of this, one would know how outstanding her aptitude was.
âYeah, you donât have any battle experience.â
Lu Zhiruo gave her advice as well.
âI have. Those kids who bullied me, they were always beaten until they fled off like a rat.â
Ying Baiwu looked toward Sun Mo.
âTantai, you really canât go up onto the arena?â
Sun Mo inquired.
âIf you insist, then I can try.â
Tantai Yutang smiled. He had intentionally rejected to let Sun Mo beg him. Through this, Tantai Yutang could regain the confidence that he had lost previously.
Of course, Tantai Yutang would still have to go to the arena eventually. Fighting against Sun Mo was just internal conflict, but fighting against Gao Benâs student was for the groupâs glory. After all, Tantai Yutang had acknowledged him as his master. He couldnât bear to see the team that he was in face defeat.
âOh, since you canât, then I will not force you!â
Sun Mo looked toward the 3 female students. âHave you all prepared for the battle?â âUgh!â
Seeing how Sun Mo didnât care about him, Tantai Yutang was stunned. (What are you even thinking of? Are you really going to let the 3 girls go up?)
(Youâre such a cruel teacher! You better come and beg me now. Even though I look like a sickly person, not an expert at fighting and depend on my brains for a living, if I go and battle for 3 rounds, I will still win.)
The 3 girls all nodded with a serious expression.
âSince you have chosen to become cultivators, then you will have to experience battles sooner or later. Todayâs battle arena is magnificent with many audiences, and your opponents are not inferior as well. As the first battling experience of your lives, it will be very memorable.â
Sun Mo smiled.
âIf we lose, then weâll be left with painful memories.â
Tantai Yutang interrupted.
âCan you shut up?â
Ying Baiwu frowned and scolded back the moment she opened her mouth. She had always been strong-headed and unwilling to concede defeat. Hence, when she heard Tantai Yutangâs discouraging words, she was very angry. âErr!â
Tantai Yutang didnât expect Ying Baiwu would call him out for this, so he smiled insincerely. âIn any case, Iâm still your senior martial brother, ainât I? Canât you give me some form of respect?â
âAre you a foolish and naive kid? Respect must be earned from capabilities and not from a title. Moreover, to say such words before the start of a huge battle, I donât see any sense of camaraderie from you, âsenior martial brotherâ.â
Ying Baiwu scolded angrily; her mouth showed no form of mercy.
Tantai Yutangâs face became as black as the base of a pot. However, she hadnât said anything wrong. If it were on the battlefield and someone were to say such words prior to a war, that person would have been beheaded.
âAlright, donât think of other things after this, relax!â
Sun Mo started to massage the 3 girls as a warm-up session before battling.
Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan Po was a little surprised as well. (You really plan to let these 3 girls go up the arena, huh?)
Jiang Leng frowned and wanted to advise otherwise, but he didnât know how to say it. Hence, he turned his head and gave Tantai Yutang a stare.
Tantai Yutang pouted and was feeling indignant. (Letâs see how you guys are going to win?)
A Li Ziqi with o athletic ability, a seemingly stupid and silly papaya girl, and a Ying Baiwu who hadnât even gone to a private school before and had been going on unorthodox paths. Could they win with such a lineup? That must be a joke!
The atmosphere in the resting room was very relaxed. Sun Mo kept saying various interesting topics to diverge the 3 girlsâ moods so that they wouldnât be too nervous.
Dong! Dong! Dong! The victory bell that was fixed up in the victory dojo sounded. This was a notification for both teams to enter the arena.
Swish!
The 3 girlsâ eyes immediately looked at Sun Mo.
âLetâs go, time to get your first victory!â Sun Mo extended his hand and rubbed the girlsâ heads one after another. âGo! Let the thousands of audiences out there remember your heroic posture in your victory moments.â
Sun Mo led his team and walked out of the aisle. The sun suddenly became stronger and the tremendous noise flowed into their ears subsequently
Li Ziqi and the rest gazed across the spectator stand and couldnât help but become nervous. Because all they saw were people. There seemed to be at least 3,000 to 4,000 people here.
âAhhhh!â
Lu Zhiruo grabbed onto Sun Moâs sleeves, feeling a little afraid to be watched by so many people.
The landform here was just like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, being surrounded by huge walls made of stone. The students who sat on the spectator stand could look downward and enjoy the battles.
In the center of the victory dojo, there was a square-shaped arena as big as half a football field and around 5 meters tall. At this moment, Lian Zheng, who was the referee, had already stood on the arena.
âTeachers from both sides, as well as students participating in the battle, please come on stage.â
