“Teacher, what instructions do you have?”
Upon seeing Sun Mo looking over, Lu Zhiruo immediately inhaled and sucked in her stomach. Her clear eyes were looking at him, waiting for instructions.
She did her best to put an ‘I’ll do my best’ expression on her face.
“Nothing, you should go back and rest. Also, help me inform Ziqi and the others that I’ve returned. I will check on their progress tomorrow morning!”
Sun Mo gave up. Even if he didn’t comprehend Profound Words, the papaya girl would still follow every single instruction he said.
“Right!”
Lu Zhiruo knew that her teacher must be very tired. Initially, she had wanted to think of a way so she could stay with Sun Mo to chat, but after thinking for a while, she still endured that impulse.
After taking a shower, Sun Mo brought over a cup of hot milk and stood at the balcony, peering toward the campus. He thought about his ‘capital’ and was planning his future.
If one wanted to become a 2-star great teacher, they had to comprehend six types of great teacher halos and specialized in two secondary occupations. They also had to have a student in the Greencloud Rankings at the very least.
Sun Mo himself would definitely not screw things up, so he would have to depend on his students.
There was basically no hope for Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo. Next, it was already not bad if Tantai Yutang could simply live on; there was no need to even dream about him being able to fight.
As for Jiang Leng, if Sun Mo could repair the shattered spirit runes on his body, he might become one of his main combat powers. In fact, Jiang Leng might not be inferior to Xuanyuan Po.
If that couldn’t happen, Sun Mo’s trump cards would be Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu.
“After handling Zhang Hanfu, I will only give medical cultivation lectures for the next three months. After that, I will use the rest of my time to guide Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu!”
Sun Mo drank a mouthful of hot milk. He wasn’t optimistic about the future.
Why was this so?
Because the elimination rate for the 2-star great teacher examination was simply too high.
There were only 100 rankers on the Greencloud Rankings. This also meant that there might be several tens of thousands of 1-star great teachers in the Central Province, but in the end, only 100 of them could become 2-star great teachers.
Also, if a great teacher had two students in the Greencloud Rankings, it meant that another qualification slot would be removed.
Moreover, the Saint Gate had determined that the age limits for students on the Greencloud Rankings were 18 years old. As Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu were still too young, if they encountered 18-year-old experts as their opponents, they would surely suffer a disadvantage.
If he managed to pass through this obstacle, the difficulty of the 3-star great teacher examination was, on the contrary, easier for Sun Mo.
Comprehending nine great teacher halos, specializing in three secondary occupations, and being at the divine force realm—all of these conditions had been met by Sun Mo.
Naturally, it didn’t mean that he would definitely pass just because he met the conditions. After all, he would have to compete with others and face the terrifying pressure of elimination.
Luckily, the system hadn’t said that he had to absolutely lead the Central Province Academy to the ‘B’ Grade by next year, or he would surely have a headache.
…
During dawn, Qi Shengjia stood outside the villa. He had a look of trepidation on his face.
The honest guy had been cultivating in the Wind King Divine Hall all this time, training in the Dharma Skyshock Fist Sun Mo imparted. No matter the reason, he ought to come here and greet Sun Mo, but he wasn’t one of Sun Mo’s personal students. Hence, he was afraid he might annoy Sun Mo for coming without being invited.
This was because Qi Shengjia was too honest and wooden. If it was another person, they would have rushed over and hugged Sun Mo’s thigh.
Naturally, Sun Mo ‘doted’ on the honest guy so much because he pitied Qi Shengjia and approved of his perseverance. As for his talent…
Forget it, there was no need to mention this.
“What are you waiting for?”
Li Ziqi came over. After seeing Qi Shengjia blushing, she was speechless. “Just go in!”
“Eldest Martial Sister!”
Qi Shengjia hurriedly greeted.
“How many times have I told you not to call me that?”
Li Ziqi sighed. (You are my senior, don’t you find it embarrassing to address me like that?) However, this fellow was truly an honest guy.
Because his family was poor, Qi Shengjia was eating coarse food every day even though he was cultivating in the Wind King Divine Hall where there were so many spirit diamonds lying around. He could just casually take a piece out, and it could sell for plenty of money. However, he had never thought of doing this before.
Qi Shengjia felt embarrassed. He scratched his head and had an ill at ease look on his face. If he didn’t call her ‘eldest martial sister’, what should he call her? She felt that because Li Ziqi was Sun Mo’s first personal student, he should maintain respect toward her.
As for the prestige of a school senior relative to a school junior?
Honestly speaking, Qi Shengjia had never considered things like these before. He would even feel a lack of confidence before freshmen.
“Just enter!”
Li Ziqi sighed. She felt that the honest guy should not marry. If not, he would surely be made a cuckold many times in the future.
Personality-wise, Qi Shengjia was a yes-man. When he met people, his eyes would show hints of evasion the vast majority of the time. He truly didn’t have the slightest bit of demeanor that would cause people to admire him.
Li Ziqi acted like she was returning to her own home and directly pushed open the villa’s door.
“Eldest miss!”
Upon seeing the little sunny egg, Dong He quickly came over to welcome her.
“Prepare tea and some snacks. Later on, Baiwu and the others will come over as well!”
Li Ziqi instructed. “Has my teacher woke up yet?”
“Not yet!”
Dong He lowered her head and waited for Li Ziqi’s instructions. As Sun Mo’s first personal disciple, she was considered half-a-daughter to Sun Mo and had the qualifications to order her around.
“I will go and wait for Teacher!”
Li Ziqi’s eyes brightened. She finally found a chance where she could wait for her teacher. (Hmph, hmph, I’ve been practicing secretly for a long time.)
“Eldest miss, shouldn’t I be the one to do all these?”
Dong He was badly frightened. As Li Ziqi had gone to the Zheng Residence to pay a visit to Zheng Qingfang before, Dong He knew the true identity of this little girl. Now when she saw Li Ziqi having a towel in her hands and heading to fetch warm water, she was almost frightened to death.
This girl was a respected princess with the noblest status in the Great Tang Empire. Other than his Majesty, who had the qualifications to enjoy being waited by her?
“Don’t interfere!”
Li Ziqi glared at Dong He.
…
After Sun Mo and Li Ziqi got down from upstairs, the other five personal students had all arrived. When they saw Sun Mo, they stood up directly and bowed in respect.
“Teacher, congratulations on getting the great teacher title, returning victoriously!”
After the students finished speaking, Tantai Yutang took a step forward and presented a small box.
“Teacher, this is a gift this student prepared for you!”
Tantai Yutang had a smile on his face.
“Eh!”
Upon seeing this, Qi Shengjia felt upset at himself. He subconsciously lifted his hand and ruthlessly smashed it into his head. (Why did I forget to bring a gift?)
“Bootlicker!”
Ying Baiwu glanced at the sickly invalid. She also wanted to give a gift, but her teacher didn’t lack anything. Hence, she chose to work even harder in her cultivation and prepared herself to ascend to the Greencloud Rankings three months later, helping her teacher to obtain the qualification as a 2-star great teacher.
Jiang Leng felt somewhat awkward, but as for Xuanyuan Po, he basically wouldn’t care about such a minor thing.
“I appreciate your intention, but you can take the gift back!”
Sun Mo would never accept gifts from students.
“Teacher, how’s your result?”
“Tantai, you are underestimating Teacher too much. I’ll tell you this, he got first place!”
Lu Zhiruo bragged complacently.
“Not only the first place, but Teacher has achieved the Grand Slam and created an unprecedented terrifying record that no one would be able to break in the next hundred years.”
Li Ziqi also felt proud. She then told everyone of Sun Mo’s glorious results.
She had also sent someone to secretly monitor Sun Mo. Naturally, sending information back was secondary. The main purpose of the people she sent was to help her teacher settle stuff if he ran into some troubles. Examples were like if he faced food and lodging problems.
The students here were all dumbfounded when they heard this. This was especially so for Qi Shengjia. He felt extremely excited.
“Being able to learn from such a teacher must only be possible due to the amount of fortune I accumulated through a few lifetimes!”
Qi Shengjia felt that he was definitely a huge philanthropist in ten of his past lives. This was why his karma was so good. But after that, he started to feel ashamed of his inferiority and didn’t dare to think about taking Sun Mo as a personal teacher.
For such an impressive teacher, being able to follow and learn from him was already a gift given to him by the heavens. He must not want a mile after gaining an inch.
“Teacher, so you are so cool?”
Xuanyuan Po was taken aback. He knew Sun Mo was impressive, but he didn’t expect Sun Mo to be impressive to this extent. Hence, he started to admire Sun Mo in his heart.
Although the combat addict only thought about fighting, he wasn’t a simple fool. He knew that if someone could achieve the Grand Slam, it meant that the person was someone who had no flaws in all aspects.
Jiang Leng surveyed Sun Mo in surprise and wonder. After that, he nodded. Xuanyuan Po’s words were completely what his heart was feeling. Compared to the combat addict who didn’t know anything, Jiang Leng was very clear on how difficult it was to break a record.
“You guys didn’t feel that our teacher could achieve this in the past?”
Ying Baiwu was astonished. In her heart, no matter how shocking the achievements of her teacher were, she would assume it was only normal. Everyone should just gather together and cheer.
Tantai Yutang was stunned. He only took Sun Mo as a personal teacher because it was fun back then. But now, he suddenly rejoiced at his own fortune.
Ding!
“Congratulations, you gained a total of 23,201 favorable impression points!”
Sun Mo was very satisfied when he heard the system notification. The number of favorable impression points wasn’t little. This was especially so for the honest guy and Lu Zhiruo. They each contributed 5,000 points.
As expected of his two favorite ‘operators’.
“Alright, it’s just an insignificant matter!”
Sun Mo finished his cup of tea and started to walk toward the backyard. “Follow me. We will start from Ziqi. I want to check on your progress. If someone was lazy, you will be disciplined by my house-rules!”
The spirits of everyone stirred. This was like a minor test!
Even a playful student like Tantai Yutang revealed a serious expression now. This was because he didn’t want to be looked down upon by Sun Mo.
Li Ziqi was the first. She stood in the back garden.
As Sun Mo touched her body, he activated Divine Sight and peered at her data.
“Peak of the third level? Not bad!”
Sun Mo was very satisfied. Given Li Ziqi’s aptitude, being able to level up in half a year had already met his expectations.
“Only at the peak of the third level?”
The little sunny egg was very disappointed. In the past, she would already be wild with joy if she could level up by half-a-level. But after a comparison target like Ying Baiwu existed, she didn’t feel content anymore.
“To you, this improvement speed is already quick. However, you are training too vigorously and your body is injured. Next, you have to take more medical baths and focus on recovery. Come and look for me once a day. I will use the muscleforge technique and living blood technique on you!”
Sun Mo instructed.
“Besides, your advantage is that you are very intelligent. In the future, you have the possibility to become an outstanding great teacher. So, you must not slack off on schoolwork!”
“I will respectfully remember Teacher’s teaching!”
Li Ziqi bowed.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +100. Reverence (21,010/100,000).
“Try to achieve a breakthrough to the fourth level of the body-refinement realm yourself. It can be considered a good experience. Moreover, you would also need such experience if you wish to guide students in the future. So, I won’t assist you with regard to that!”
If Sun Mo used the ancient massaging technique, he could help Li Ziqi break through easily. However, he didn’t wish to do this because the path the little sunny egg wanted to walk on was different from Xuanyuan Po.
“Alright, next!”
Sun Mo glanced toward the papaya girl.
“Ah?”
Lu Zhiruo’s gaze immediately avoided Sun Mo’s because her degree of improvement was too slow. She was worried she might be scolded.
