Chapter 601: Personal Disciples Battle, On-the-spot Guidance!
It was like how thereâd be shadows in a place where thereâd be light. In any world, where there was light, thereâd definitely be a lot of dark existences as well.
In Middle-Earth Nine Provinces, there was the Saint Gate who managed all the great teachers in the world, setting ethics and rules, determining the standards for actions, and punishing crimes as well as evil deeds. It could be said that the Saint Gate determined what a great teacher was.
Great teachers would commit mistakes as well. After committing mistakes, theyâd naturally be left to the Saint Gate to judge the matter.
Some great teachers showed behavior that brought shame to their title. However, they didnât wish to receive punishment and thus escaped.
The others liked freedom and didnât wish to be regulated by the Saint Gate. They felt that the Saint Gate was too meddlesome.
...
Amongst these great teachers, most of them joined the Dark Dawn and became dark great teachers. This power was viewed by the Saint Gate as their lifelong archenemy.
No one knew what the Dark Dawn was like at the very beginning. It was because they were mysterious and powerful. Just revealing a bit of their horns would make one shiver.
Even now, people still didnât know where Dark Dawnâs headquarters was at. They didnât even know how many dark great teachers there were in total.
But over so many years, some of their secrets were exposed. The Saint Gate had found out that other than the highest ruler, Dark Dawn that no one knew about, they had three Dark Saints, five Doyens, and seven Starlords.
Out of which, it was said that each of the seven Starlords all had 9-star capabilities.
What was 9-star capabilities?
It was the level of secondary saints.
These seven Starlords didnât just have strong battle prowess but also extensive knowledge and outstanding teaching capabilities. They could nurture many talents.
The Daybreak Starlord was the most famous amongst the seven Starlords. It was because he liked to create trouble and would appear every now and then to make things difficult for the Saint Gate.
This Starlordâs way of doing things was as his title suggested. Daybreak, the light at dawn, piercing through everything.
Using his way of saying things, itâd be bringing new order to Middle-Earth Nine Provinces.
â...â
After listening to Li Ruolanâs explanation, Sun Mo felt speechless. He subconsciously turned his head over and looked toward the spectators stand. However, there were too many people and he didnât know which one of them was the Daybreak Starlord.
There could even be the possibility that this Starlord had mixed himself amongst the great teachers near him. No one had seen what this major character looked like.
However, why would such a major character contribute favorable impression points to him?
Could it be because the Starlord admired how outstanding he was?
A secondary saint should have seen many geniuses, right? He shouldnât be considered much.
To speak the truth, Sun Mo didnât know if he should feel happy or worried. After all, no one was certain if the Daybreak Starlord would feel that his brains werenât bad and thus planned on soaking it in formalin and putting it up as a display.
âHas that Starlord taken the initiative to contact you?â
After Li Ruolan explained things, her eyes lit up and she couldnât help but ask. If it was so, then this would be big news.
âNo!â
Sun Mo shook his head.
âThen why would you mention this person?â
Li Ruolan doubted.
Given Sun Moâs current reputation, he didnât need to use the Daybreak Starlord to increase his level of controversy. Otherwise, the results might turn out to be the opposite of what he wanted.
The Saint Gate had always been on the stand of wiping out the dark great teachers they encountered, killing one to serve as a warning to the others.
âTeacher, Teacher Zhao and his disciple are waiting at the hotel!â
Li Ziqi paused and then added, âYou promised that youâll help his personal disciple mend his bones after the Great Teachers Battle.â
Sun Mo frowned. Was there such a thing? However, given his intelligence, he knew that the little sunny egg was trying to help him out of this situation.
As expected of a considerate girl.
âIâm sorry, I have things to do.â
Sun Mo bade his goodbye.
âTeacher Sun, Teacher Sun, please answer a few more questions!â
Li Ruolan continued to give chase but was stopped by Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwu.
âPlease donât disturb our teacherâs rest!â
Li Ziqi reminded her.
Although all the great teachers who wanted to invite Sun Mo to a meal didnât feel too happy about this, something like mending bones shouldnât be delayed. Therefore, they gave up on it.
âHeadmaster Zhang, you canât be thinking of headhunting Teacher Sun, right?â
A big-nosed headmaster saw someone familiar and couldnât help but ask.
âWhy? Canât I do that?â
Headmaster Zhang raised his brows.
âHehe, donât be wasting your time. Even the headmasters from âCâ grade famous schools canât get themselves to bring this up, let alone âDâ Grade ones like yours.â
The big-nosed headmaster let out a snort. (Donât you know your own value?)
âWhat difference would humans be from salted fish if they didnât have dreams?â
Headmaster Zhang spurted that sentence out and then swung his sleeves, leaving. However, after he turned over, his expression turned bitter.
That was right, thereâd be no way that heâd be able to headhunt Sun Mo!
Even if he were to give his position to Sun Mo, the latter might not necessarily care about that.
...
After returning to the hotel, Ma Zhang then helped Sun Mo bandage his wound.
(After I take a hot bath with the lover protection medicine, Iâll be able to recover quickly.) However, this was Ma Zhangâs kind intentions and he couldnât get himself to refuse him.
âSun Mo, do you want a massage? I feel that I have made small progress in the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands!â
Gu Xiuxun moved her fingers.
âYou better go and give Zhang Yanzong some guidance, preparing for the final dash.â
Sun Mo refused.
The great teacher examination was coming to an end.
Based on past yearsâ results, 1,000 great teachers should be able to make their way to this stage. Then, half of them would be eliminated after the personal disciples battle.
It could be said that everyone already had half a foot into getting the 2-star great teacher title and could take it a little easier.
However, that couldnât be done this year.
In order to control the great teachersâ numbers and quality, the Saint Gate had increased the difficulty of the examination. Therefore, only 500 examinees had made it this far.
Moreover, 300 more people would be eliminated in the next round.
No one dared to be too careless.
Every examinee could only send out max three personal disciples to participate in the battle.
The students would fight while the teachers could give guidance on the spot. After all, this was a great teacher examination, and it primarily tested the examineesâ guidance abilities.
Seeing through the opponentâs weaknesses, giving guidance to students, and even cheering for their students were included in the great teachersâ guidance category.
Of course, they werenât allowed to use great teacher halos that could directly increase their studentsâ battle prowess such as the Blue Born From Green halo.
To ensure fairness, an examinee could only choose to give guidance to one personal disciple. The other two personal disciples could only fight by themselves.
Usually, the examinees would choose the personal disciple who had the greatest chance of winning.
âTeacher, who are you going to choose?â
Li Ziqi felt curious. At the same time, she felt a little regretful that she couldnât fight for her teacherâs glory.
Sun Mo looked toward his six personal disciples.
Xuanyuan Po entered the room, found a bench, and sat down. He took out a handkerchief and started to wipe his silver spear. Ying Baiwu seemed to be thinking and her face looked very solemn.
Jiang Leng looked very calm.
Back in the manor, the training that young children like them received was much more brutal than a single battle. A few people would die every month from losing.
âXuanyuan!â
Sun Mo looked toward the combat addict.
Swoosh!
Everyone turned to look toward Xuanyuan Po. (That couldnât be. Teacher is going to fight together with the combat addict?)
Xuanyuan Po frowned.
âHmmm? Why?â
Lu Zhiruo was perplexed. She stopped eating the melons she had just cut.
In her opinion, Xuanyuan Po had the highest chance of winning, and Jiang Leng wasnât bad either. However, Ying Baiwu required guidance.
âJiang Leng is strong and has rich experience. He is calm and doesnât need guidance.â
Sun Mo laughed.
âOf course, the most important thing is that it has been a very long time since youâve gone all out in a battle because of those damaged spirit runes. Therefore, I hope that you can take this chance and get the feel of your combat style back.â
âYou shouldnât be imitating someone, be the real you!â
Everyone went into deep thought upon hearing Sun Moâs words.
âTeacher!â
Jiang Leng was silently in tears.
The him in the past had been thrown away by the institution head like trash. However, not only had Sun Mo taken him in as his disciple and cured him, but he even meticulously thought about his future.
He really had no way of returning this favor!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Jiang Leng +1,000. Respect (7,500/10,000).
Tantai Yutang looked at Sun Mo with a complicated expression. He was someone who only cared about benefits. To be honest, if he was in Sun Moâs position, heâd definitely guide Jiang Leng because in his opinion, the chance of Jiang Leng getting first place was the highest. However, Sun Mo had given up on that for Jiang Lengâs future.
Wasnât that too noble of him?
After Jiang Leng got first place, then Sun Moâs reputation would definitely go one notch higher.
âThen what about Martial Junior Baiwu?â
The papaya girl was perplexed.
âOut of the three of them, Baiwu is the weakest, but her will, her composure, and her courage arenât weak.â
Sun Mo looked toward the iron-headed young girl with a gentle gaze. âI thought of giving you guidance, but I was afraid that itâd wear down your courage.â
âWhat does that mean?â
The papaya girl scratched her head, looking stunned. She didnât understand.
However, Li Ziqi understood immediately. The reason why Ying Baiwu had come this far without anyone to rely on was because of her disposition of not fearing death. With Sun Mo around, itâd mean that sheâd have a path to back down to.
Then, if she were to encounter problems, she wouldnât try her best to resolve them by herself. She would choose to get Sun Moâs help instead.
Sun Mo would definitely help Ying Baiwu, but he wouldnât be able to do that forever. Therefore, Sun Mo didnât wish for her to lose the mentality of âIâll be able to fight a path for myself by myself!â
âTeacher!â
Ying Baiwu was also a smart girl and she understood that Sun Mo had given a lot of thought into it.
âTeacher, I donât need on-the-spot guidance either!â
Xuanyuan Po pouted. âJust you watch. Iâll bring back the first place for you.â
The combat addict felt that itâd be meaningless to win if he was given guidance.
âNo need? Who was the one who would lose his rationality as he fought, relying just on his instincts?â
Sun Mo shook his head. âItâs clear that your physical attributes are outstanding, but what if you were to meet another person whoâs even more extreme than you are?
âCombat isnât just a fight of two dogs biting each other. Itâll depend on the battle tactics as well. Even ferocious beasts know how to use techniques when hunting prey. What about you?â
âThereâs nothing bad with relying on instincts either!â
Xuanyuan Poâs lips twitched.
âPlease, if Tantai were to be given the same body you have, thereâs no way youâd be able to win against him!â
Li Ziqi rolled her eyes.
âWhat do you mean by that? That my brain isnât comparable to his?â
Xuanyuan Po felt upset.
