Chapter 1077: Do I, Xuanyuan Po, Not Deserve to Have A Name?
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Senior Martial Brother Xuanyuan, calm down!”
Helian Beifang tried to mediate things, but it was useless.
“Scram!”
Xuanyuan Po pushed Helian Beifang away, glaring at Li Ziqi. “Do I, Xuanyuan Po, not deserve to have a name?
“You’re the Eldest Martial Sister. I won’t fight you. Lu Zhiruo has Teacher to care for her, so I won’t fight her either. But the third slot should be given to me, right?”
“Then let’s just fight. The winner will be the one to go.”
Ying Baiwu wasn’t scared. (I have the Skyward Spirit Rune. Even if you have two more legs, you’ll be defeated by my arrows.)
“Come on then. Who’s scared?”
Xuanyuan Po rolled up his sleeves.
“Can you guys be quiet?”
Li Ziqi bellowed, “Xuanyuan, can you be more mature? Look at all those opponents. Even the weakest ones are in the Divine Force Realm. How are you going to win against them?
“I, Zhiruo, and Baiwu are all long-distance fighters. Only then will we be able to unleash the Skyward Spirit Rune’s value to its greatest.”
The little sunny egg’s head was hurting.
“Xuanyuan, this time around, you’re in the wrong.”
Jiang Leng spoke up.
“If you want to fight, you can just look for them for a duel. You don’t have to insist on fighting them in the arena!”
Tantai Yutang also chipped in.
Xianyu Wei also wanted to comment, but as the youngest disciple, she had no right to speak up.
Xuanyuan Po was stunned. He hadn’t expected that his relationship with others was so bad that not a single one of them would speak up for him.
Then, his face flushed up.
“Xuanyuan, please take priority in Teacher’s glory!”
Li Ziqi said this very solemnly.
“Teacher, Teacher. Other than Teacher, what else do you have in your heart?”
Xuanyuan Po sneered.
“What do you mean by that?”
Li Ziqi raged, taking two steps forward to stand in front of Xuanyuan Po, staring straight into his eyes. “Repeat what you said if you dare.”
“I said that you don’t have an ego. You only have Teacher in your heart!”
Xuanyuan Po retorted angrily.
Pa!
Li Ziqi slapped out hard, giving the combat addict a loud slap on the face.
“Eldest Martial Sister!”
Everyone was given a shock. Why did they start fighting?
Therefore, they quickly stepped in to stop them.
Jiang Leng and Helian Beifang held back Xuanyuan Po at the first instant. Otherwise, if they were to start fighting, their eldest martial sister might get beaten to death.
“You dare to hit me?”
Xuanyuan Po’s eyes were very red, looking bloodshot.
“Yes, I’m hitting you! You ingrate!”
Li Ziqi’s temper had always been very good, but this time around, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. “This is a 4-stars great teacher examination. To a great teacher, this is an extremely important moment in their lifetime. If they were to pass it, they’d have bright prospects. If they were to fail, they’d lose the chance to enter the Nine Greats.
“Of course, our teacher doesn’t care about this. But the great teacher world is a place that looks at one’s seniority and glory. Do you know how many people are waiting to see Teacher make a joke out of himself?
“If he were to fail, many people would feel happy and celebrate! I firmly believe that Teacher is someone who will become a saint in the future. I don’t wish for Teacher to have any stain on his resume, let alone the humiliation of flunking the examination.”
The little sunny egg was very angry because the combat addict was only thinking of making use of the opportunity to have an exhilarating fight, challenging various experts. He never thought of their teacher’s interest.
“Teacher has taught you so many saint-tier cultivation arts, imparted you with so much experience, provided food and other basic living needs for you, and let you train without any worry. Is this how you repay Teacher?”
Buzz!
Priceless Advice erupted.
Golden light encompassed the little sunny egg, making her look sacred and awe-inspiring. As the light spots radiated out, Xuanyuan Po instantly felt embarrassed.
When Jin Mujie heard the commotion outside, she came out to take a look. She didn’t expect to see this scene and was instantly surprised.
(That can’t be, right? Priceless Advice? You know this as well?)
Jin Mujie felt that she was going to have trouble competing against Sun Mo’s disciple, let alone against him.
“Xuanyuan Po, I’ve long since wanted to reproach you for not knowing courtesy and not knowing how to be grateful. But do you know what Teacher said?”
Li Ziqi looked at Xuanyuan Po, feeling great hatred and resentment.
“Teacher said that a person can only attain the highest realm and stand at the very top when they are extremely serious about something.
“Teacher feels that you can become a spear saint, but from what I see, if a person doesn’t even know about relationships and gratitude, so what if they were to become a spear saint?
“If it’s a person with talent but no morals, even if they are a saint, a sword hero, or a blade saint, I, Li Ziqi, will still look down on them! I’ll spit saliva on you and then walk away.”
Tantai Yutang looked at the little sunny egg, stunned. (Your consecutive retorts do share some resemblance to Teacher.)
“I agree!”
Xianyu Wei raised her hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The others also raised their hands.
“Eldest Martial Sister, I’ll back you up!”
Helian Beifang flashed a big thumbs-up.
Xuanyuan Po’s expression flickered, but in the end, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake sincerely. “I was wrong! I’ll reflect!”
It was true that his teacher had treated him very well.
In the future, he should think more for his teacher.
Li Ziqi gave off an awe-inspiring glance at her junior martial siblings. “I don’t expect you guys to put Teacher first in everything, but I hope before you guys do anything, think more for Teacher’s sake. It’s because you’re his disciples that your behavior might smear his name.”
“If someone were to do something that brings shame to our teacher, I, Li Ziqi, would hunt you down and get rid of you even if I had to travel to the ends of the world.”
As the little sunny egg said this, her gaze eventually fixed on the sickly guy.
“Why are you looking at me?”
Tantai Yutang felt very innocent.
“Why do I not have such a good disciple?”
Jin Mujie felt so envious that she was about to drool.
Sigh!
(Secondary Saint Zhou, you have no idea what you’ve missed out on. I’ll mourn for you for three seconds.)
In the tent, Sun Mo listened to how the little sunny egg dealt with the problem, having full control over the situation. He broke into a consoled smile.
(This is how an eldest martial sister should act! In the future, I can be assured even if I’m not by their side. To think that Xuanyuan Po actually apologized? It seems that I still hold a place in his heart.)
To speak the truth, Sun Mo was human too and wasn’t completely selfless. If Xuanyuan Po were to insist on taking part in the competition, he’d be very hurt.
The group of three who were going to take part in the competition was decided. They were Li Ziqi, Lu Zhiruo, as well as Ying Baiwu. Sun Mo told them to focus on tempering themselves and not overdo things.
As Sun Mo’s results were too domineering, people became less interested in the results of the other lectures.
However, the examiners clearly noticed that due to Sun Mo imparting his experience, the number of examinees that received light spots immediately rose by a lot.
After all, the examinees were all 3-stars and weren’t lacking in knowledge and experience. Of course, they’d have some reflections of their own.
“Congratulations, 72 light spots!”
Jin Mujie, who came down from the stairs, couldn’t believe what she had heard after hearing Tong Yiming’s words.
(To think that I can get such a good result?)
This was enough to put her in the top 50 amongst all examinees.
“Sun Mo, thank you!”
Jin Mujie felt extremely agitated and hugged Sun Mo. She even gave him a kiss.
Pa!
Li Ziqi covered her eyes.
(I didn’t see anything. If Mistress An asks about it, I’ll say that I don’t know.)
“F*ck it!”
Jiang Zhitong, who was in the distance, smashed his fist into the wall. (I can’t even compare to the colleagues Sun Mo had given guidance to, let alone to him.)
(That is ridiculous. But I still have a chance.)
“Xu Cong, if you were to encounter Sun Mo’s students, aim to kill them!”
Jiang Zhitong gritted his teeth.
“En!”
Xu Cong stared at Li Ziqi, raring to give it a go.
…
“Teacher Sun, don’t be proud. Be careful that things can still go wrong!”
Bai Xiqing got close and told him softly, “Zhang Wentao has been giving private lessons to his disciple, Liu Yuzhi. Wan Xiulin’s disciple, Huang Peng, is also a strong opponent whom many people think will clinch first place.”
As a proud student of Secondary Saint Zhou, Wan Xiulin was quite capable. He had also performed very well in the second round, with 200 sages attending his lecture.
This should be a very eye-catching result, but it completely became dim when compared to Sun Mo’s full marks. Moreover, Sun Mo had even gained the Ancient Sage Halo. Even Secondary Saint Zhou might not be able to get this result if he were here.
With Sun Mo being so strong, Wan Xiulin naturally found it hard to keep up his pride. He’d definitely try to win it back in the personal disciple battle.
The lecture examinations finally came to an end after three months.
It was now summer.
Having received Sun Mo’s experience, quite a number of examinees had better results in the second round—the lectures. At least, they didn’t get zero. Seeing that there weren’t many people who could pass based on the original benchmark they had set, the Saint Gate lowered the requirements for the second round.
In the end, a total of 302 people passed the examinations.
These great teachers’ personal disciples would participate in the battle. Eventually, 100 of the best disciples would win 4-stars title for their teachers.
The tabulation showed that 906 disciples had registered.
There was no helping it. To increase the chances of success, all the teachers took up the full three slots.
As the great teachers didn’t place much emphasis on their own battle prowess, this time around, the examination didn’t require the great teachers to compete against each other. The battles between their disciples were the star of the show.
As it concerned their teachers’ future, the disciples would go all out, putting their lives on the line. Therefore, every year, there’d be a tremendous number of casualties. To ordinary people, a show was good if there were deaths.
Therefore, the tickets for the personal disciple battles were all fully booked long ago.
The prices for the tickets had risen to ten spirit stones in the black market.
That was right. Gold and silver were useless. Only spirit stones were accepted.
Although the Saint Gate was very wealthy, it wouldn’t be bad to earn more, even if it was just one more copper coin. Therefore, they’d pick the biggest spot there was every year to hold the competition.
In the Songyang City’s martial dojo that could accommodate 30,000 people, there were no empty seats. Many spectators were even standing around without any tickets.
“Isn’t Sun Mo too amazing? To think that he got full marks?
Gu Xiuxun sat in the spectators’ stand, waving a small flag, waiting in anticipation to see Li Ziqi’s performance.
“You’ve said this three times.”
Mei Ziyu was speechless.
“Aren’t you astonished?”
Gu Xiuxun asked her back and then sighed. “Sigh, how I wish I could take the examination with Sun Mo. It’s a pity that I’m too weak.”
“Everyone will appear weak when compared with Sun Mo!”
Mei Ziyu snickered. “I feel that Zhang Wentao and Wan Xiulin are probably feeling very frustrated.”
“And Jiang Zhitong too!”
Gu Xiuxun gloated.
“After this examination ends, Sun Mo will probably enter the top 100 of the Great Teacher Rankings.”
Murong Mingyue added.
