Absolute Great Teacher

"What is this teacher’s name?"

The students amongst the spectators were starting to find out about Sun Mo’s name.

This was how the world of the great teachers was like. The greater the teacher’s reputation, the more students would come. If they were to produce a few great disciples who could enter the Greencloud Rankings, then there’d be an overwhelming number of students who would come under the teacher’s tutelage.

"Sun Mo won?"

Yuan Feng, who was amongst the crowd, was shocked. What was Qin Fen doing? A graduate from Jixia Learning Palace had lost out to Sun Mo, who wasn’t known even in Songyang Academy? Did you buy your graduation certification?

Although it wasn’t good to be looking down on his alma mater, Songyang Academy was only D-Grade. It was a big difference from someone who had graduated from one of the Nine Greats. How could he lose?

Qin Fen was one of the only three amongst this batch of intern teachers who had graduated from the Nine Greats. He had always been very proud and didn’t care for people like Zhang Sheng. However, he had now become Sun Mo’s stepping stone.

"Sun Mo is going to become famous!"

At the thought of this, Yuan Feng was filled with envy.

"As expected, Teacher Sun is really amazing!"

Qi Shengjia, who was amongst the crowd, looked at Sun Mo with admiration. When he turned toward Zou Ping, his gaze was that of envy. Sigh, his aptitude was too weak, and he didn’t have the chance to go under Teacher Sun’s tutelage.

Ding!

+20 favorable impression points from Qi Shengjia.

Prestige connection with Qi Shengjia: Friendly (393/1000).

"Qin Fen, you’ve lost!"

Sun Mo wouldn’t reply to Zou An’s question. He didn’t deserve to know it. Moreover, Sun Mo was feeling emotional from the system’s notification.

Qi Shengjia was really an honest person. He had felt admiration toward Sun Mo just from watching in the crowd, giving him so much favorable impression points. It was more than what he had gotten from Zou Ping, who was the one who had gained improvement.

"Should I take him as my student?"

Sun Mo hesitated.

Qin Fen, who had been enraged to begin with, turned pale upon hearing this. He felt extremely embarrassed. His countenance was grim.

(No, I haven’t lost!)

Qin Fen thought real hard, trying to find a loophole in this. He questioned, "Sun Mo, the reason why Zou Ping could win wasn’t because he had gained advancement in his martial technique, but that he had an overwhelming advantage in his physical attributes. You fed him something, right?"

Hua!

The moment he said this, a commotion broke out. It was because Qin Fen was indirectly hinting that Sun Mo had cheated.

"Your desire to survive is really strong."

Sun Mo sneered.

Zou An’s eyes lit up.

"Teaching Assistant Qin, please do not defame both Teacher Sun and my character."

Sun Mo wasn’t anxious, but Zou Ping was. If he didn’t clarify things, it’d be a great blemish to his name if people were to misunderstand that he had only temporarily increased his battle prowess after taking alchemical pills.

Moreover, after having witnessed the prowess of the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands, Zou Ping had made up his mind to acknowledge Sun Mo as his teacher. At times like this, the disciple naturally had to be the one to speak up and defend his teacher.

"Qin Fen, please mind your words."

Jin Mujie frowned, disliking Qin Fen’s attitude of not admitting his loss.

"Teacher Jin, if Sun Mo hasn’t done anything against his conscience, then I’d like to know what guidance he has given Zou Ping." For the sake of his reputation, Qin Fen could only gamble on this. Thankfully, he wasn’t a fool and knew that he should conceal things. "This is also an experience for me."

Swoosh!

Everyone turned their gaze toward Sun Mo. They were curious as well.

"Sun Mo, what’s your take on this?"

Jin Mujie asked.

"I don’t mind!" Sun Mo shrugged. "Zou Ping, tell him!"

"Teacher Sun had used the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands to give me a massage for about five minutes, and my physique gained a tremendous improvement then. Right now, it is almost at 2nd-level of the body-refinement realm."

Zou Ping explained. Before the tone for his last word ended, Zou An was the first to cry out.

"Impossible!"

Zou An was wearing an expression as if Zou Ping was lying and spurted out angrily, "Your realm should be the same as mine. According to my estimation, it’ll take at least three months before we can level up. What crap are you saying that you’d be able to gain such a great improvement within five minutes?"

"I don’t believe it either, but it’s the truth!"

Zou Ping was elated when he saw his younger brother’s expression. (Now you know how amazing your elder brother is, right? Continue to show respect for me in the future!)

"Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands? That sounds really domineering!"

"A five-minute massage can make up for three months worth of cultivation? Why does it sound

"That must be a lie, right?"

The spectators murmured amongst themselves. If what Zou Ping said was true, then Sun Mo’s Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands would be almost comparable to the Origin Nurturing Pill’s effects.

This was an alchemical pill used for the body-refinement realm. After taking it, it would strengthen one’s constitution and physique, increasing the person’s realm by one level.

Of course, the price was very expensive. Just one pill would cost over 100,000 silver taels. It’d be a dream pill if one’s family wasn’t rich enough to have their own ore mines. They’d be better off working hard in their cultivation.

Hearing Zou Ping’s words, Qin Fen lit up, as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. He immediately questioned, "Sun Mo, we are competing on our guidance, and not massages and tuina!"

"Haha, Teaching Assistant Qin, can you be any more shameless than this?" Sun Mo was amused. "May I ask what is considered guidance?"

"Of course, it’s referring to pointing out students’ flaws!"

Qin Fen insisted on his point, but even he was feeling embarrassed to be saying this.

In Middle-Earth’s nine provinces, a teacher’s guidance was in all aspects. Not only did it include guidance on their cultivation, but also the maintenance of the student’s physical and mental constitution. Sometimes, the teacher might even worry about their student’s marriages.

It could be said that after a student came under a teacher’s tutelage, they’d become the teacher’s raw jadestone. The teachers’ eventual goal was to forge them into perfect masterpieces.

Some strict teachers might interfere with a lot of areas, including the food they ate, their cultivation plan, their rest time, and even their relationships.

If one were to encounter great teachers who were abstinent, after coming under the teacher’s tutelage officially, the students had to be mentally prepared that they’d never be able to have sex in their lifetime.

After Sun Mo read the materials in the library and found out about this, he was surprised as well. However, he quickly accepted things.

In ancient China, the relationship between a teacher and their student was very close. Once a teacher, forever one’s father. Even in the modern world, those top-notch coaches would also practice strict control over the sportsmen under them.

In Middle-Earth’s nine provinces, after a student acknowledged a teacher, they would stay by the teacher’s side to learn, and the teacher would have to give it their all into guiding the student. Even though it couldn’t be said that many teachers treated their students as their own kids, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they treated each of their students as half a son or daughter.

As long as there wasn’t any cheating involved, the teacher would be considered a good one as long as the student could defeat their opponents. It didn’t matter what guidance the teacher had provided.

The students around burst out laughing, suddenly feeling a little disappointed toward the Jixia Learning Palace. This was the standard of its graduates?

Of course, there were more students and teachers who were interested in the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands.

"You want my guidance? Alright. This Zou Ping isn’t a match for his brother in terms of his martial technique. His moves don’t flow smoothly enough, and he would need to work hard in his cultivation. As for Zou An, he has shown great mastery in his Crow Fist, being able to lash out and draw back freely. It’s also because of this that he had been able to freely hold back in the past matches, causing Zou Ping to wrongly estimate their abilities."

Sun Mo spoke up.

He had kept his Divine Sight activated for the entire period of the battle. Through the duo’s detailed data, and then comparing it to their actual battle, it was easy for him to come up with some conclusion.

"But Zou An has his flaws too. He is over-reliant on his right arm, and the prowess of his left arm is almost half of his right. If he doesn’t put in effort into training it, it would be a weak point."

Zou An, who wasn’t convinced with the outcome earlier, was stunned, and he looked at Sun Mo in astonishment. It was because everything that Sun Mo said was right. However, he had only exchanged less than ten moves with his brother, which had taken only several tens of breaths. How did Sun Mo manage to see through so many things within this short period?

Yue Rongbo was surprised as he assessed Sun Mo. It seemed that Sun Mo was a lot more amazing than he had thought him to be.

Ding!

+3 favorable impression points from Yue Rongbo.

Prestige connection with Yue Rongbo: Neutral (6/100).

Jin Mujie looked at Sun Mo with her beautiful gaze, feeling a little surprised. She was then a little angry. Both Zhang Hanfu and Wang Su had given An Xinhui pressure in order to fight for authority, and they had thrown Sun Mo to the logistics department. Thankfully, he hadn’t resigned in fury. Otherwise, the Central Province Academy would lose a good teacher.

Ding!

+1 favorable impression points from Jin Mujie.

Prestige connection with Jin Mujie: Neutral (3/100).

Sun Mo tried to stop the twitching in his lips when he heard the system’s notification. The two great teachers’ expectations were really high, so they were very stingy with the favorable impression points.

The two great teachers had naturally seen through the Zou brothers and thus admired Sun Mo.

The spectators had no idea if what Sun Mo said was right. However, Zou An knew and he had lost. This meant that he probably had no chance of entering under Liu Mubai’s tutelage. Therefore, he was decisive and walked over, kneeling before Sun Mo.

"Teacher Sun, please take me as your disciple!"

Bang!

Zou An kowtowed.

(Sun Mo shouldn’t be too bad either. He’s able to see through me from a few moves of the battle. Moreover, he seems to be Headmaster An Xinhui’s fiance. If I can make use of this connection, I’ll be able to climb even higher.)

Seeing what his younger brother had done, Zou Ping was stunned for a moment before he realized that his younger brother was trying to snatch the chance away from him. He quickly came dashing over.

"Teacher Sun, Student Zou Ping admires your talent and hopes to study under your tutelage!"

Bang!

Zou Ping kowtowed. As he was wary of his younger brother, he kowtowed even harder.

The two students knelt before Sun Mo respectfully, not daring to get up without his approval.

At the sight of this, Qin Fen was so angry that his lips were twitching fiercely. It was as if something he had his eye on had been snatched by someone else. Then an indescribable feeling of disappointment appeared on his face.

There was no need for Jin Mujie, the referee, to determine the winner. The Zou brothers’ kowtow was the best answer.

Sun Mo won. It was indisputable!

"Teacher, you’ve managed to snatch them!"

Li Ziqi put out a finger and secretly poked Sun Mo’s arm.

Lu Zhiruo stood at the side, smiling sweetly as she looked at Sun Mo with admiration. Teacher Sun was so amazing!

Ding!

+10 favorable impression points from Li Ziqi.

Prestige connection with Li Ziqi: Friendly (126/1000).

Ding!

+15 favorable impression points from Lu Zhiruo..

Prestige connection with Lu Zhiruo: Friendly (128/1000).

Qi Shengjia, who was amongst the crowd, looked at the Zou brothers, feeling extremely envious. He wanted to be Teacher Sun Mo’s student as well!

Ding!

+20 favorable impression points from Qi Shengjia.

Prestige connection with Qi Shengjia: Friendly (413/1000).

Sun Mo was feeling a little embarrassed from listening to the consecutive notifications. (Qi Shengjia, I’ll feel proud if you admire me this much.) However, he couldn’t help but throw a glance toward Xuanyuan Po. This battle maniac was watching the show with his arms crossed in front of his chest, completely unmoved.

Yuan Feng was so jealous that his eyes had turned red. If it wasn’t a crime to kill, he’d dash out immediately and chop Sun Mo up into meat paste.

If an intern teacher could recruit five students in this student recruitment meet, they could be officially hired, becoming a teacher recognized by the Saint Gate. Sun Mo had achieved this, and he was even faster than Qin Fen.

Jin Mujie backed off a few steps, leaving the stage to Sun Mo. This was the glory he had earned.

Seeing that Sun Mo wasn’t showing any reaction, Zou An felt a little unhappy. (I’m already giving you face, so why aren’t you agreeing?)

If it was some other intern teacher, they’d have helped both of them up long ago. He curbed his impatience and shouted out even louder, "Teacher, please accept this disciple!"

"Teacher, please accept this disciple!"

Zuo Ping quickly did the same. No matter what, he must be the first to enter Sun Mo’s tutelage, being his younger brother’s martial senior.

"Both of you can get up!" Sun Mo looked at this pair of twins calmly. "I’m sorry, I don’t think that I’ll be able to teach either of you!"
