Chapter 1041: Guidance That Brings Instant Results
This possibility, which Wu Li mentioned, had long since been considered by Sun Mo.
He was a teacher and had seen countless ranking results of different classes.
Let alone No. 27 wanting to chase No. 1, many students wouldn’t even be able to catch up even if they skipped their sleep and meals to get between No. 10 and No. 1.
Sun Mo said this because he wanted to spur No. 27’s battle intent. At the very least, No. 27 shouldn’t feel scared before fighting. “Look, no one regards you highly. Don’t you want to strive a little and show others your capabilities?”
No. 27 clenched his fists. No one liked to lose.
“My creed in life is this: I will smash the mouth of whoever looks down on me.”
A white glow appeared on Sun Mo’s right hand as he punched out with it.
Boom!
The white glow entered No. 27’s mind.
A large amount of information immediately appeared in his head.
“I don’t want you to lose. So, I’m going to impart you a move from a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art. Remember this well, its name is Sword Counter Stance!”
After that, the Sun Mo in his mind displayed an exquisite move.
No. 27 was instantly shocked and revealed an intoxicated expression.
He couldn’t defeat Hu Baoshan because the other party was too strong. However, if No. 27 was studying in the Central Province Academy, he definitely would be able to easily get into the top ten of his year based on his talent.
The extremely high potential value wasn’t written casually by the system.
Hence, No. 27 could sense how powerful this move was.
“What is it named?”
No. 27 subconsciously asked.
“Heavenly Sword Art!”
Sun Mo instructed, “Pay close attention to the words I’m going to say!”
No. 27 hurriedly nodded because there was still information floating in his mind.
“From your opponent’s arrogant personality, he will surely aim for your ribs and might even want to one-shot you. So, it’s good enough that you focus fully on defending first.
“Pretend to be weak to lure him, act that you are in miserable straits until you find a chance to reveal a ‘flaw’. When the other party unleashes his ultimate skill to attack you, use the Sword Counter Stance and receive his sword move before instantly switching to retaliating.
“Ferociously attack his left shoulder. He was injured there before!”
No. 27 stared at the information three times repeatedly. After that, he started. (Wait a minute, why is this information in my mind?)
He then stared at Sun Mo in astonishment.
“This is Soul Imprint, a great teacher halo comprehended by my teacher.”
Lu Zhiruo bragged. “In the entire Nine Provinces, only he knows this.”
No. 27 was dumbfounded.
“There will always be differences between humans, but that shouldn’t be the reason for you to give up. You can shorten the distance between you two through hard work, strategy, battle tactics, etc. In fact, if you make good use of them, you can even surpass your opponent!”
Sun Mo stared at No. 27 as he sincerely spoke.
“As long as you don’t give up, you will always have a chance to win!”
BOOM!
A bright light spread outward.
Wu Li and his group at the side were discussing due to curiosity too.
“What halo is that?”
But before they could get a conclusion, Priceless Advice activated.
Sun Mo, who was clad in golden light, appeared extremely handsome and impressive. He truly had the style of a great teacher.
No. 27 went up to the arena.
“Teacher, what are his chances for victory?”
It was unknown when Qin Yaoguang came over.
“That would depend on his ability to execute the art.”
Sun Mo wasn’t an omnipotent deity.
In terms of mentality, Sun Mo had stirred No. 27’s battle intent. And for combat strength, Sun Mo had guided No. 27 on the battle strategy and even taught him an ultimate move. Next, it would depend on how No. 27 performed on the scene.
If it was Ying Baiwu or Xuanyuan Po, Sun Mo dared to say that they would win against Hu Baoshan for sure.
“No. 27, I’m going to beat you half to death!”
Hu Baoshan smiled malevolently.
“This fellow is trying to fight a psychological battle to scare you. This means that he is afraid and is starting to use all sorts of tricks.”
Sun Mo reminded and continued boosting No. 27’s confidence.
Actually, Hu Baoshan wasn’t afraid at all, but there was no way for him to prove that because his words could also be understood as being afraid.
And by saying this, Sun Mo could actually provoke Hu Baoshan. It would be perfect if his words made Hu Baoshan lose his cool.
“I know!” No. 27 nodded.
“Go to hell!”
Hu Baoshan no longer wasted words. He charged forward like how a hunting leopard would lunge at its prey. His formidable momentum brought him to No. 27.
His longsword pierced toward No. 27’s left chest area with lightning speed.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
No. 27 blocked while retreating.
It wasn’t that he was showing weakness. He was truly weaker in comparison.
“I want to see how long you can persist for!”
Hu Baoshan ended his attacking posture and inhaled deeply, preparing to go at it even harder. However, No. 27 actually snuck an attack by stabbing forth with a sword.
Swish~
Although this strike didn’t injure Hu Baoshan, it shocked him and caused his aura to become a little chaotic.
There was no solution to it. He had fought quite a few rounds continuously and his condition wasn’t as good.
Hu Baoshan hesitated but decided to temporarily retreat first to let No. 27 attack him. If not, if No. 27 continued turtling, his spirit qi reserves would be insufficient.
But when Hu Baoshan just displayed a defensive posture, No. 27 had retreated.
Hu Baoshan was depressed as he roared, “Are you a cowardly turtle? Do you dare to fight head-on with your daddy?”
“He is panicking!”
Li Ziqi hurriedly interjected. “Stabilize yourself. This is called waiting for a retaliation, exhaust him to death!”
The little sunny egg was worried that Hu Baoshan might not do what he might do in a normal situation due to him being too overly anxious for success.
“Eldest martial sister, you are worrying too much. For people like us, as long as we can win, it doesn’t matter what techniques we use.”
Jiang Leng was drowned in sad thoughts.
Because if one was eliminated, their lives would come to an end.
“This fellow is actually very strong. However, his will is too soft.”
Sun Mo was very satisfied with No. 27’s performance. Moreover, he was very obedient. He might try some sneak attacks, but he wouldn’t be greedy as he strictly followed Sun Mo’s battle strategy.
“When exactly is the most suitable chance to retaliate?”
No. 27 couldn’t see through Hu Baoshan’s condition. Hence, he subconsciously glanced at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo shook his head.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Hu Baoshan’s longsword danced wildly. Although he had no way to heavily injure No. 27, he could still injure him. Hence, injuries started to appear on No. 27’s body as fresh blood flowed.
If he was a student from the Central Province Academy, he would have long since been unable to endure. However, No. 27 didn’t seem to be bothered. In fact, even his expression didn’t change.
The endurance of the experimental subjects was all extremely strong.
“The chance is here!”
Sun Mo coughed once.
One couldn’t help but say that No. 27 was very intelligent. At this moment, he was quick-witted enough to guess the meaning of Sun Mo’s cough.
He was worried that Hu Baoshan might see through him. Hence, he didn’t nod to Sun Mo to indicate that he understood. Instead, he pretended to stumble.
In order to make the effect more real, he even took the initiative to be injured by one of Hu Baoshan’s sword attacks.
“Chance!”
Hu Baoshan’s eyes brightened. Half of his spirit qi reserves were already consumed, and when he was preparing to be on the defensive so he could recover, No. 27 actually took the initiative to give him such a huge gift.
(My luck is truly good!)
Hu Baoshan felt wild joy in his heart and unleashed his ultimate skill.
Heart Piercer!
Woosh~
His sword whistled through the air, piercing toward No. 27’s chest. He wanted to break all the ribs of the other party.
“Victory or defeat lies in this attack!”
No. 27 retaliated.
Sword Counter Stance!
Swish~
Hu Baoshan completely didn’t see what was happening. He only saw his sword being sent flying as he exposed an opening. After that, No. 27 charged at him.
(Oh no!)
Hu Baoshan frenziedly retreated, but how could he avoid No. 27 who had long since waited for such a chance after having accumulated power?
Bang!
No. 27’s heavy punch slammed ruthlessly into Hu Baoshan’s mouth.
Kacha!
His nose broke as blood spurted wildly.
“Throw away your sword!”
Sun Mo instructed.
No. 27 did so immediately. After that, he unleashed his fist technique and punched Hu Baoshan furiously like how one would punch a sandbag in training.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the loud sounds echoed out, the sounds of bones breaking also rang.
“Stop!”
Wu Li was shocked and hurriedly jumped onto the arena.
Hu Baoshan was the valuable no. 1 experimental subject. If he was killed here, the dean would surely kill Wu Li.
When No. 27 heard this, his body froze as he shrank his neck back, retreating to the side.
“No. 1!”
Wu Li inspected Hu Baoshan’s situation and discovered that a few pieces of his sternum had broken and he was now disfigured. A moment later, he was so enraged that he wanted to kill someone.
“Come over!” Wu Li roared.
No. 27 came forward and got his stomach kicked by Wu Li.
Bang!
No. 27 stumbled backward.
“Come over!” Wu Li roared again.
No. 27 struggled to climb up.
“What are you doing? Sun Mo was enraged. “Can’t you afford to lose?”
“You should not bother about the matters of our Dragonspirit Manor!”
Wu Li rebutted.
Sun Mo no longer spoke, but Battle God’s Will had been activated. A mighty and ferocious mental pressure immediately surged forward.
Wu Li tensed, feeling like he was being stared at by an ancient ferocious beast.
“Teacher, thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to win. However, this is already enough.”
No. 27 bowed toward Sun Mo. After that, he knelt and waited for Wu Li’s punishment.
“Scram!”
Wu Li didn’t want to be too excessive because there were so many experimental subjects watching. If he was too biased toward Hu Baoshan, it wouldn’t be easy to lead the team in the future.
“Everyone, return to your rooms!”
The researchers commanded.
The experimental subjects started to leave, but their gazes kept glancing toward Sun Mo.
This great teacher was so impressive!
They had personally witnessed Hu Baoshan’s strength. Even if he was an arrow at the end of its flight, he wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Moreover, no one had expected that No. 27 would actually win.
“Wait a minute!”
Wu Li shouted for No. 27, who was walking away, to stop. He was too angry earlier and had forgotten the important details. “What’s going on with that sword strike of yours?”
These experimental subjects ate, wore, and learned the same things.
Yet, No. 27 actually knew a different cultivation art. He had to check things clearly.
“It was taught to me by this teacher.” No. 27 explained.
“Nonsense!”
Wu Li scolded. “Do you think I’m blind? Why didn’t I see him teaching you? Also, I can tell that this sword move is very powerful with a single glance. It is at least a superior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. Even if his brain was damaged, he wouldn’t teach it to you.”
“Quickly say it, where did you learn it from?”
(Could this brat be a spy sent by other organizations?)
Wu Li guessed.
“I’m the one who taught him that!”
As Sun Mo spoke, he brandished his wooden blade and displayed that exact same move.
“…”
Everyone had dumbfounded looks on his face.
“My teacher used a great teacher halo to impart the sword move directly into his mind.”
Lu Zhiruo explained.
“Enlightenment Provision?”
Wu Li guessed.
Wrong, he had seen the effect of Enlightenment Provision before. It wasn’t the same.
“You don’t have to guess anymore. That is a unique halo only my teacher has!”
Li Ziqi smiled sweetly.
(The strength of my teacher can frighten all of you to death!)
(Huh? A unique halo?)
The researchers jumped in fright. After that, they were enlightened. No wonder their dean invited this man here to the manor as a guest. So, this man was an expert.
“Also, let me correct you guys. That move isn’t from a superior-grade heaven-tier cultivation art but a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art.”
Just as Li Ziqi’s voice faded away, exclamations of shock rang out.
“Who are you trying to bluff?”
Wu Li didn’t believe it.
Peerless saint-tier cultivation arts were considered ultimate treasures of an academy. They were things that could allow a clan to prosper for 1,000 years. Even if it was just a single move, no one would teach it to outsiders.
“‘Those with long hair would have a ‘shorter’ scope in vision’. You are a man, so why are you like this?”
Li Ziqi’s lips curled. “The saint-tier cultivation arts my teacher knows are more than the fingers of a hand. So what even if he taught him a move?”
“Jiang Leng, bring me to that student who was injured earlier.”
Sun Mo didn’t want to be involved in a meaningless argument. It was more important to save people.
