Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 1256: The Students Have Grown Up!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Yang Shizhan and Hu Xi

iang also wanted to see the current standard of the younger generation in the Nine Provinces, so they came along with Sun Mo.

The arena in the east was packed with people.

Sun Mo and the other two didn’t arrive too late, but they still didn’t manage to get a good spot. They could only look over from tens of meters away. Fortunately, their eyesight was very good, allowing them to see everything without any problems.

Because there were too many people, Sun Mo could not find Li Zigi and the rest. He could only wait silently.

Not long later, after three rounds of competition, Sun Mo heard the host call out a familiar name.

“Next up on the stage is the champion candidate, Xuanyuan Po. He’s dressed in white and wielding a silver spear. In the first three battles, he relied on his silver spear to deal his opponents instant kills. He really is awe-inspiring and domineering.”

The host was very good at stirring up the atmosphere. “It is still early to say, but he will definitely be the king of all spear kings in the future. Now, let us invite Xuanyuan to the stage!”

After the host’s words ended, a white-clothed youth shot up from the ground like a plucking onion from dry land. After a series of somersaults, he landed on the arena.

His posture was beautiful and cool, attracting a lot of cheers, especially from the ladies. They were crazily cheering for him.

“This handsome young lad is your personal disciple?”

jiang noticed that Sun Mo was really sizing this youth up seriously, so he asked.

Sun Mo nodded, but his gaze did not leave Xuanyuan Po.

‘The young man who only had nothing in his mind except combat had grown tall, dark, and strong.

He was definitely more than 1.9 meters tall. Standing there, he looked as strong as a metal tower.

He was still wearing the dragon ball martial uniform designed by Sun Mo. It was orange, sleeveless, and there was a big “Sun” word embroidered on the left chest.

After ascending the stage, Xuanyuan Po didn’t say a single word. His cold and battle intent-filled eyes described his mercilessness and strong will. The people who were swept by his gaze subconsciously shut their mouths, feeling somewhat terrified.

“This kid’s eyes are like a sharp blade that can cut through the cold night!”

Hu Xingjiang was full of praise. Putting strength aside, his disposition was well-nurtured.

‘This meant that he had reached a higher level in the way of the spear and was beginning to search for traces of the ‘Dao’.

“He is born to be a battle god!”

Yang Shizhan was envious. “Teacher Sun, where did you find him?”

In the Nine Provinces, even talented youths would have to reveal their capabilities before they could be discovered by great teachers. However, for someone like Xuanyuan Po, there was no need for that. Even an intern teacher would know that this guy would have extraordinary achievements in the future.

“He came by himself!”

Sun Mo smiled, recalling the scene when he had recruited Xuanyuan Po.

Compared to back then, he looked like a man now. Other than his slightly dark and rough skin, the contours of his face were sharp, well-defined, and very tough.

In the current state of the Nine Provinces, pretty boys and effeminate men weren’t in the trend yet. Therefore, women liked this type of man very much. This was also why the cheers were so loud.

“Let’s see the opponent of the champion candidate. Wow, it’s Miao Shouzhan who graduated from the Skyraise Academy last year. He once used a spear to sweep away thousands of opponents in a school-wide chaotic battle and obtained a great result of tenth place.”

The host introduced Miao Shouzhan’s background in an exciting manner.

The surrounding crowd immediately became agitated.

This was because the Skyraise Academy was publicly acknowledged as the number one school in the Nine Provinces, and their students were the benchmark and representation of geniuses.

With a dash, Miao Shouzhan darted up onto the arena like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain.

“This battle is going to be good!”

Hu Xingjiang was filled with anticipation.

This Miao Shouzhan was also very tall, close to two meters, and he was using a seven feet longspear. On the battlefield, he would be a match for ten thousand enemies.

“Both parties, please give your greetings!”

The referee announced.

“Miao Shouzhan, please give me your guidance!”

“Xuanyuan Po, please give me your guidance!”

This time around, The Number One Hero Contest of the Nine Provinces didn’t care about one’s cultivation level. As long as one’s age was below 30, one could register.

This also meant that those who dared to come were geniuses who could challenge those of higher cultivation levels. Otherwise, they would have been eliminated long ago.

After the two of them bowed, they launched a spear attack at the same time.

Utter Destruction, Ferocious Tiger Descent!

Miao Shouzhan used an ultimate technique right off the bat, charging at Xuanyuan Po with the momentum of a bolt of lightning, being one with the spear.

The combat addict neither dodged nor evaded and also thrust his spear out.

Spear Rain Pearflower!

Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

Along with the whooshing sound of the spear blade piercing through the air, hundreds of snow-white pearflower petals appeared in the air. They seemed to have been blown off by spring rain and fluttered about.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The pearflowers fell, looking soft and weak, but they were long and drawn out. They blocked Miao Shouzhan’s fierce attack, and then the two of them changed their moves.

“Junior Martial Brother, you can do it!”

Lu Zhiruo shouted to cheer him on.

“Xuanyuan isn’t good anymore. What happened to the instant kill?”

Tantai Yutang teased.

“This person is, after all, constantly ranked in the top ten in the Skyraise Academy’s battle hall. Do you really think he’s a newbie?”

Qin Yaoguang pursed her lips.

She had gotten information on these participants long ago.

“Senior Martial Brother will be able to win in at most 30 moves!”

Xianyu Wei commented.

“25 moves!”

Li Ziqi corrected her and stared at the two people on the arena.

Although her combat strength was weaker, her eyesight and experience were very refined. This was especially true after Sun Mo had transmitted all the cultivation arts he knew into the little sunny egg’s mind through Soul Imprint. Her experience had been accumulated to a horrifying degree.

On the 25th move, Miao Shouzhan was swung off the arena by Xuanyuan Po’s silver spear.

“Haha, this guy actually wants to compete with Junior Martial Brother in brute force. He’s really asking for it!”

Lu Zhiruo clapped happily. Her junior martial brother clinched another victory. This was perfect.

Li Ziqi and the others also clapped, but they weren’t as excited as the papaya girl. This was because after seeing Miao Shouzhan choose to fight Xuanyuan Po head-on, they knew that it was only a matter of time before the combat addict won.

“To be honest, other than Xianyu, I’ve never seen anyone stronger than Xuanyuan in strength!”

Tantai Yutang was envious. As a sickly person, although his hidden illness had been treated by his teacher, his body was still a little frail. That was why he wanted a physique as strong as Xuanyuan Po’s.

“In terms of strength, Xianyu is stronger, but in terms of overall physical traits, Xuanyuan is the best in the world amongst those I’ve seen.”

Li Ziqi glanced at her youngest junior martial sister and gave her an assessment. “There’s no other who can match him.”

Xianyu Wei was now 22 years old. She had a long and slender figure, smart-looking eyes, and agile movements. From afar, she looked like a toned female leopard.

She was really too tall, more than a head taller than the crowd around her. She was close to 1.9 meters.

The plains girl had shed her inexperience and timidity, becoming confident and prideful, looking like a ferocious beast staring at its prey.

Xianyu Wei was not fat, and she did not even look as strong as a weightlifter. Although she didn’t look buff, her strength was astonishing.

Sun Mo’s gaze landed on the spot where Xuanyuan Po had risen from the ground. Then, he saw Xianyu Wei.

Many men were also stealing glances at the plains girl because she was very beautiful and exuded a sense of wild beauty.

“Are those children your students?”

Yang Shizhan also looked over.

“Tsk, they’re all handsome and beautiful!”

Li Ziqi had also grown up. Moreover, because she had ascended the throne and become a female emperor, her disposition had changed drastically in the past few years. Every move she made gave off the dignified feeling of one in a supreme position.

‘When her beautiful phoenix eyes looked around, it made others not dare to look at her directly. They would avoid her gaze.

“Hmm?*

Lu Zhiruo suddenly tiptoed and turned to look around.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Yaoguang also imitated her curiously. “Did someone important come?”

“I seem to have felt Teacher’s aura!”

The papaya girl sniffed hard.

Pa!

Qin Yaoguang slapped Lu Zhiruo’s head.

“What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many people here, and they smell so bad that even the dog’s nose is going to malfunction.”

Qin Yaoguang rolled her eyes. “Have you gone crazy from missing Teacher?”

“Aww, don’t hit my head. I’ll become stupid!”

The papaya girl covered her head and pouted gloomily.

“It’s alright even if you become stupid. You have this anyway!”

‘As Qin Yaoguang spoke, she slapped Lu Zhiruo’s huge papayas.

Immediately, the huge papayas swayed and shook out waves that were enough to shock the world.

“You’re so bad!”

Lu Zhiruo crossed her arms in front of her chest and backed off, hiding behind Li Ziqi.

“Hehe, when Teacher comes back and sees Ziqi, he’ll definitely be disappointed!”

Qin Yaoguang teased.

“Why?”

Lu Zhiruo didn’t understand. “Eldest Martial Sister is outstanding both as a senior martial sister and an emperor!”

“Yaoguang!”

Li Ziqi’s face darkened. She knew that Qin Yaoguang was teasing her breasts.

Sigh, it had been four years and they hadn’t grown much. She was still flat enough for a horse to run on it!

(Hmph, those imperial physicians are really not reliable. They said that after taking the medicine they prescribed, my chest will definitely be able to get big, but it didn’t work at all.)

She had decided to chop off their heads after she got back!

(Alright, I’m just saying that in a fit of anger. After all, I’m a wise ruler. But I have to fine them.)

“That person with the double blade is from the plains, right? His aptitude is really good!”

Yang Shizhan swept a glance around and his gaze landed on Helian Beifang.

Compared to his laughing martial siblings, he was much calmer. He didn’t say much and just stood there like a stone statue.

From the beginning of the battle to the end, his gaze had been on the two contestants. He had positioned himself into the battle and was thinking about how he could win it.

“Mmn, he’s the Helian Clan’s Little Chieftain. His aptitude is very good, but he’s not interested in cultivation. Instead, he likes to learn the art of war. He wants to unify the plains and make the barbarians live a richer life and get rid of the ‘humiliating’ aspect they have.”

Sun Mo was also very regretful about this. A person’s energy was ultimately limited. It was impossible for Helian Beifang to take care of all aspects.

“Huh? Unify the plains?” Hu Xingjiang was shocked. “This ambition is really great.”

Actually, Hu Xingjiang did not finish the latter part of his sentence. (You accept a disciple like this too?)

In the Central Plains, everyone had the same roots, even if they were from different nationalities. They were all descendants of the Nine Provinces. Therefore, it was not a problem for great teachers to accept people from other countries as their disciples. However, when facing people from the plains or

Nanyue, they’d be harsher.

Deep down, they were still unwilling to let the barbarians become stronger. Although the various famous schools in the Central Plains didn’t say anything, in private, they all suppressed the Dragon Subduing Academy unanimously.

Sun Mo shrugged. Although Helian was a barbarian, Sun Mo would still teach him the correct concepts about home and country.

Perhaps Helian could become a great ruler and lead his people to a higher civilization.

Yang Shizhan cupped his hands, impressed by Sun Mo.

This was what it meant to be impartial in educating.

Three more matches ended. After that, the host looked at the list of participants and raised his voice.

“Wow, another disciple of Great Teacher Sun is about to come on stage. He’s Jiang Leng, He uses his pair of daggers to perfection, but what’s even more amazing is his movement technique. In the previous matches, no one was able to hurt him.”

Jiang Leng went to the arena.

Xuanyuan Po had long hair and he tied it into a ponytail. On the other hand, Jiang Leng had short hair. Only his fringe was slightly longer, hiding the word ‘trash’.

“This child’s aura is very gloomy.”

Hu Xingjiang frowned. He didn’t like youngsters who looked like they were encompassed by dark clouds and had moldy expressions. He preferred those who looked more sunshine-like and cheerful.

“He’s cold outside but warm inside!”

Sun Mo explained.

Jiang Leng had grown up, but he was still very quiet and didn’t like to talk. In addition to his skinny figure, his presence continued to be very weak.

His opponent was a 20-year-old girl who was quite beautiful. She was the type who’d be rated seven out of ten points.

While waiting for the competition to start, the girl kept smiling very sweetly. It made people unable to help but feel a kind of doting love from the bottom of their hearts, wanting to protect her.

This was a battle tactic. Unfortunately, it was useless against Jiang Leng.

As the greeting ended, Jiang Leng picked up his dagger and attacked.

Eight seconds later, the girl was kicked in the back of her waist and she fell off the arena.

“Haha, this woman actually tried to use a beauty trap on Jiang Leng, She probably doesn’t know that he likes men, right?”

Qin Yaoguang laughed.

“You’re the one who likes men. Your whole family likes men!”

Jiang Leng lashed out.

“Of course, I definitely like men!”

Qin Yaoguang giggled. “Especially those like Teacher. They’re my favorite!”

“Uhh!”

Jiang Leng choked.

“Don’t say such things recklessly. It’ll bring Teacher trouble.”

Ying Baiwu, who had been silent, gave a warning.

“Hmph!”

Qin Yaoguang let out a soft snort. Amongst the martial siblings, this iron-headed young girl was the hardest to deal with. Moreover, she led a life akin to an ascetic monk.

Learning, practicing, eating, sleeping. The monotony was appalling. Qin Yaoguang had known her for six years and had never seen her go shopping.

What was the meaning of a life like this?

However, everyone knew that this was Ying Baiwu’s way of repaying Sun Mo. She didn’t know what to do, so she could only put in hard work in her cultivation. If their teacher were to encounter trouble one day, she’d have a life and some capabilities to fight by her teacher’s side.

Sun Mo also saw Ying Baiwu. His gaze could not help but reveal admiration, but it then turned into deep pity.

He didn’t need to use Divine Sight to be able to tell that Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po were the two most hardworking ones. For a girl, this was too much work.

(Your life shouldn’t be like this!)

Sun Mo’s heart ached.

Ying Baiwu had grown up and her body was not as thin and frail as when he first met her. She had grown to become slender and elegant. Perhaps it was because it was convenient and it saved her the time to wash up, she had cut her beautiful hair. This made her look a little like a tomboy.

The people from the Nine Provinces still had the traditional taste toward beauty. They liked girls with waist-long hair, so they didn’t particularly like Ying Baiwu. However, for people who liked short hair, Ying Baiwu was simply amazing.

With her sharp gender-neutral beauty, if she were to wear a male outfit, she would definitely charm a large number of ladies.

Sun Mo saw that in the crowd, many girls were secretly glancing at Ying Baiwu, their eyes filled with excitement and restlessness.

Swoosh!

Ying Baiwu suddenly turned around and looked in Sun Mo’s direction..
