Absolute Great Teacher
chapter-1092

Back then, the Wind King had relied on his firm will to go from being a wind element to developing intelligence, rising to an overlord, and eventually becoming the Wind King.

It never knew what inferiority was and only possessed the valor to look down on the rest of the world. But now, when facing Sun Mo who had spoken so fluently, it somehow felt fear in its heart.

A hint of inferiority started to permeate.

"Alright, this is the personal disciples battle. I'm just a side character and shouldn't be stealing the limelight."

Sun Mo smiled, looking suave and natural, instantly capturing the hearts of many young ladies that they screamed their loves for him.

The Wind King threw a glance at Huang Peng and sent out a gust of gale slashing onto his body. While sending him off the arena, it also left a scar on his body as if he had been executed.

He wouldn't die, but an injury was inevitable.

"In the future, don't summon me out to deal with such weaklings!"

The Wind King warned.

"I've got it!"

Li Ziqi nodded very seriously.

"..."

The Wind King felt a little upset. (Do you have to be so docile? I only want to uphold my kingly character. Why don't you understand?)

(I've been cooped up for so long that I crave to see the blue sky outside! If it wasn't because your spirit qi level is too low and can't hold up frequent spirit qi summoning, I'd want to come out and play freely every day.)

The Wind King disappeared and returned to the hall.

Tong Yiming climbed up the arena again, let out two coughs, and then announced in a loud voice,

"This round, Li Ziqi wins!"

The little sunny egg bowed toward Tong Yiming and flew down, landing next to Sun Mo. Her moves were very graceful, like a fairy, looking extremely cool.

After the Wind King had appeared, the rest of the duels were uninteresting.

It was like eating hard plain buns after feasting on the Manchu Han imperial feast. It was hard to palate.

This continued until the eighth round when Ying Baiwu went up.

Everyone instantly became spirited, wondering what kind of surprise Sun Mo's disciple would bring them.

The iron-headed young girl's opponent was at the Divine Force Realm.

The vast difference in their cultivation level made any of Ying Baiwu's battle tactics appear weak and useless. Therefore, she didn't talk any crap and flew up after Tong Yiming had announced the start of the battle.

Thereafter, it was an archery performance.

A Divine Force Realm expert was powerful. However, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't keep up with Ying Baiwu's shooting speed.

This unlucky guy didn't cover himself and had nowhere to dodge, so he could only be on the passive end of things and get beaten up.

He didn't give up since he was planning on wearing down Ying Baiwu's spirit qi. However, he couldn't wait for that moment to arrive because the arrows were raining down densely, and it was getting increasingly dangerous.

In the end, he could only give up before he was covered in arrows, saving some face for himself.

With that, the battles to determine the top 16 ended. After resting for one day, the battles to determine the top eight started.

Ying Baiwu's victory pushed the Skyward Spirit Rune's value to a greater height.

There weren't many archers in the Nine Provinces because they had a natural flaw. Although they had an obvious advantage in long-distance combat, when the opponents got close, they wouldn't be able to do anything.

Therefore, other than people who were gifted in archery, no one practiced it. But now, when paired with the Skyward Spirit Rune, archers would be undefeated.

Even if they couldn't win, they could fly away!

Before the battles to determine the top eight started, another incident happened. All gambling dens, including the official ones, had closed to stop taking in new bets.

Previously, everyone had thought that even if Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwu could fly, their cultivation levels were far too low. Moreover, they were young and had little experience, so things might be bad for them.

However, after Li Ziqi brought out the Wind King, who'd be able to win against her?

Even Huang Peng, who received the greatest support for clinching the championship, had been defeated.

The only person who had the chance to win against her was her junior martial sister, Ying Baiwu.

If the gambling dens didn't stop taking in bets, wouldn't they just be giving free money to the customers?

Li Ziqi was still the first one up for the top eight battles.

Her opponent forfeited directly.

One might be able to gain experience when fighting against others, but against Li Ziqi, it'd be purely a tormenting experience. They might even lose their lives.

After all, the lightning sea and big fireballs had no eyes to see who they hit.

Ying Baiwu's opponent refused to accept this and had one leg smashed by her. This was the iron-headed young girl showing mercy. Otherwise, her opponent would have lost their life.

In the battle for the top four, Li Ziqi's opponent was Zhang Wentao's disciple, Liu Yuzhi.

The little sunny egg had made ample preparation because Sun Mo had won against Zhang Wentao in the examination. Therefore, if she were to win, she'd be able to take down the guardsman to the Great Teacher Rankings, letting Sun Mo get onto it.

Of course, this title didn't add any more glory to Sun Mo, who now possessed a saint candidate title and was the best spirit runist in the Nine Provinces.

He was strong enough!

Anyone would think that Liu Yuzhi would put up an intense fight against Li Ziqi to uphold his teacher's status. However, she forfeited the match directly.

"We won't be able to win, so why go up and embarrass ourselves?"

Zhang Wentao smiled faintly when his good friends asked him about it. He then walked toward Sun Mo. "Come to the Black-White Academy to play when you're free. I'll play host to you."

"Alright!"

Sun Mo admired Zhang Wentao's graciousness.

...

Ying Baiwu's opponent was Bai Xiqing's personal disciple, Miao Chuandong.

"Teacher, why did you tell me to forfeit the match?"

Miao Chuandong was very upset.

"It's because your opponent is my idol's disciple. There's no way you can win."

Bai Xiqing patted Miao Chuandong's shoulder. "Come with me to meet Sun Mo. Let him give you some guidance."

With that, Ying Baiwu won without having to fight. She would be meeting Li Ziqi in the finals.

"If Secondary Saint Zhou were to find out that the 4-stars great teacher examination would turn out like this, he'd definitely not have created any hindrances!"

"It's a case of going for wool and coming home shorn!"

"His reputation is going to take a plunge."

The great teachers actively discussed amongst themselves.

There were no distinctions between secondary saints, but after the incident with Li Ziqi, Secondary Saint Zhou would become one at the lowest ranking.

It could be anticipated that from now on, the people from distinguished backgrounds would definitely turn to approach other secondary saints.

After all, anyone would be worried that he'd make a misjudgment.

With that, Secondary Saint Zhou's influence would take a hit.

That made sense. If a great teacher's personal disciples consisted only of members of royalty, aristocrats, and direct descendants of wealthy merchants, then his or her influence would definitely be immense. But if their personal disciples were from ordinary families, they probably couldn't even cover their bills when they were to go out.

The championship battle didn't take place.

It was because both Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwu admitted their losses at the same time.

This was an extremely rare scene in the personal disciples battle. It hadn't happened in at least 300 years.

The disciples would usually be able to boast about getting to the finals even if they didn't emerge victorious. And Sun Mo ended up having two personal disciples in the finals.

Furthermore, this had broken the records for the youngest participants to get first and second place respectively. In addition to the Skyward Spirit Rune and the Wind King, Sun Mo's reputation soared in the great teacher world because of them.

It probably wouldn't be long before the entire Nine Provinces would know of his name.

"Teacher Sun, congratulations!"

"Teacher Sun, if you're free, shall we have a drink together?"

"Teacher Sun, can you please give us a chance to live?"

All the great teachers took the initiative to chat Sun Mo up. Even the weakest amongst them was a 4-stars.

(What? 3-stars? Aren't you embarrassed to get near to Sun Mo?)

Even those 4-stars great teachers felt a little diffident to be approaching him, fearing that Sun Mo might show them a bad attitude. After all, he had the right to flaunt like this.

An additional friend would mean an additional path. Moreover, as the vice-headmaster, Sun Mo had to consider things for the Central Province Academy's future. Therefore, no matter how much he didn't like to socialize, he had to bear with it.

Three days passed by in a jiffy, and the star-awarding ceremony arrived.

Under the gazes of over 10,000 people in the martial dojo, 100 new 4-stars great teachers received the 4-stars great teacher emblems that were personally awarded by Liang Hongda.

At the same time, Sun Mo also received his fourth champion title in his great teacher life, completing the legendary feat of rising four stars in a row, becoming a four-time champion.

"Teacher Sun, congratulations on becoming a four-time champion. It's an unprecedented feat and there might not be anyone who could do it in the future either."

Liang Hongda smiled, wanting to build a better relationship with Sun Mo.

"Try to go for the 5-stars champion too!"

Tong Yiming encouraged.

Sun Mo was about to speak humbly when Liang Hongda interrupted him

"That'll probably be a little difficult."

"Hmm?" Tong Yiming frowned. "Why is that so?"

"The new year is coming and spring will be here soon. The next 5-stars great teacher examination will naturally be held, and the contents are more or less decided."

Liang Hongda lowered his voice. As the Saint Gate's vice sect lord, he naturally knew about these behind-the-scenes things.

"Other than comprehending 15 great teacher halos, including Teacher for a Day, Father for Life, as well as grasping a grandmaster-level occupation, the upcoming 5-stars examination will require one to have caught ten dark great teachers."

"Huh?"

Tong Yiming was stunned. "Why is it suddenly a requirement to hunt down dark great teachers?"

Liang Hongda ignored Tong Yiming but explained things to Sun Mo.

"The content of the 5-stars examinations or higher will no longer follow a procedural style that is conducted for the 1-star, 2-stars, and 3-stars examinations. It will be adjusted according to the world's circumstances."

People from the Dark Dawn had been too arrogant over the past two years. They had even reached the stage of plotting against the Dragon Subduing Academy. Therefore, this year, the examination content for both the 5-stars and 6-stars examinations would be to hunt down dark great teachers and suppress them.

"This isn't targeted against you. Don't misunderstand!"

Liang Hongda consoled him.

Based on the ordinary examination content, Sun Mo might have a chance to get another champion title. However, things would be more uncertain when it was to hunt down dark great teachers.

Unless you were to kill a Starlord or another major character from the dark great teacher world, how would you be able to prove that your battle achievements were more outstanding than others?

But to kill a Starlord?

That was too difficult!

"I understand!"

Sun Mo nodded to express that he understood.

Since he wanted to become a great teacher, he had to go by the Saint Gate's way of doing things.

The award ceremony was over.

That night, when everyone was talking about becoming a five-time champion, Sun Mo told this piece of news to everyone.

"Isn't this too dirty?"

Ying Baiwu was displeased.

"I'm going to the Saint Gate to complain!"

Gu Xiuxun felt very angry.

Everyone's countenance looked grim.

"Hey, hey, don't be acting like this. You guys are making it as if I'll definitely be able to get the champion."

Sun Mo was speechless.

(Why are you guys more confident in me than I am in myself? This will give me tremendous pressure.)

"Sun Mo, don't lose. Who knows, there might be a Starlord who bangs his head into a tree and dies, and maybe you'll manage to pick him up."

Bai Xiqing consoled Sun Mo while drinking mushroom soup.

Sun Mo threw a glance at this person. (Why are you, an outsider, here when we're having a gathering amongst us people from the Central Province Academy? Forget it, on the account that you're my die-hard fan, I won't hold it against you.)

"I feel that in this matter of hunting down ten dark great teachers, there's another more important matter!"

An Xinhui interjected.

At this moment, the system's notifications rang out in great density.
