“Teacher, a man should take responsibility for his actions. You don’t have to worry about me!”
After Xuanyuan Po said this, he passed Sun Mo by and walked forward while roaring at the judge. “Target me if there’s anything. It has nothing to do with my teacher!”
Pak!
Sun Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed hold of Xuanyuan Po’s shoulder, pulling him behind.
“It’s not the time for a young kid to speak.”
Sun Mo berated.
“Move back! I’m already an adult!”
Xuanyuan Po might argue, but he felt warmth in his heart because he knew that his teacher was protecting him.
Sigh!
Li Ziqi sighed deeply in her heart. She knew that her teacher wouldn’t abandon Xuanyuan Po, but honestly speaking, when she saw this scene, she felt a sense of gratification and worship in the depths of her heart.
Her teacher wasn’t someone who would give up on a personal student just for his own future.
“Teacher!”
Lu Zhiruo panicked.
“Things are troublesome now!”
Qin Yaoguang kneaded her glabella.
Saint Gate’s view on darkness seeds had never changed. If Sun Mo wanted to protect Xuanyuan Po, he would have to go against the entire great teacher world.
Why couldn’t the Saint Gate accept darkness seeds?
Because their parents were great teachers who had committed wrong-doings in the past, and the Saint Gate had banished them. Who would believe it if people said that they wouldn’t hate the Saint Gate?
There was also another point. These darkness seeds possessed very strong talent and techniques. It was one thing if they remained in the Darkness Continent, but if they came to the Nine Provinces and spread their progeny, allowing their talents and techniques to spread, wouldn’t they grow stronger and
stronger and extremely powerful clans would be formed?
With regard to this matter, the major characters of Saint Gate would absolutely not permit it.
‘The birth of a powerful clan meant that the pie needed to be split in another way.
The head judge flicked his sleeves and coldly spoke, “Sun Mo, you better accept face when you are given it. What is your intention in publicly protecting a darkness seed?”
‘These words caused the other judges to feel frightened. All of them had dumbstruck looks on their faces as they stared at the head judge. (Why would you say the word ‘darkness seed’? Are you afraid that everyone in the world wouldn’t know?)
“What is a darkness seed?”
“It doesn’t seem to be anything good?”
“In any case, there’s a good show to watch!”
No one had expected that such a change would happen. For a time, everyone pricked their ears, deeply afraid of missing out on a single word.
“So what if he is a darkness seed? He didn’t commit any crimes nor has he done anything immoral or worthy of condemnation. Does he have to be captured just because he is a darkness seed?”
Sun Mo questioned.
“That’s right. Darkness seeds are the descendants of criminals. Deep in their bones, they are bad guys.”
The head judge persisted.
“In that case, do you mean that the descendants of criminals are not worthy to live? Why don’t you kill them all?”
Sun Mo mocked. “You cannot implicate the kids just because their parents did something wrong!”
“Dragons will give birth to dragons and phoenixes will give birth to phoenixes. A rat naturally will give birth to a rat!”
The head judge roared, “Besides, the example you gave is wrong. Darkness seeds are even more terrible compared to criminals. They ought to die as they are the source of chaos in society.”
Although the other judges felt that the words of the head judge were too tyrannical and overbearing, all of them still supported the idea of putting all darkness seeds to death.
If they died, there wouldn’t be any future trouble. If they lived, there would always be a risk.
“Teacher Sun, it isn’t easy for you to accumulate so much fame. Moreover, your accomplishments would at least be a secondary saint in the future. Don’t destroy your future just because of a darkness seed!”
An old man sincerely persuaded him.
“That’s right. By giving up on a darkness seed that everyone has the obligation to kill, everyone will understand your decision and it won’t affect your reputation.”
Amajor character spoke. He also yearned for Sun Mo’s Skyward Spirit Rune. If something happened to this fellow, how would he still be able to fly?
(Even if you want to get into trouble, you should give me the flying spirit rune first!)
Some persuaded him, while some attempted to force him. After all, many great teachers here were unhappy with Sun Mo. Now that they had a chance to cast a stone when he was down, they definitely wanted to crush him.
“Sun Mo, don’t think that because you are a 6-stars, possessing God Hands, and also a great ancestor-level spirit runist, you would have the qualifications to rebel against the Saint Gate!”
A middle-aged man snorted in disdain. “Killing all darkness seeds is a rule set over ten thousand years ago by noble sages who were great teachers. Who do you think you are to defy it?”
The ordinary people didn’t know what a seed of darkness was, but after hearing that this was a rule set by the noble sages of the past, they suddenly felt that Sun Mo was in the wrong for ignoring the big picture.
(It’s fine for you to love your disciple, but you should have principles!)
“You left out one of my titles. I’m also a great ancestor-level weaponsmith!”
Sun Mo rebutted. “Also, who the hell are you? I’m arguing with the judges, so why is a noob like you interrupting us?”
“Who did you say was a noob?” The middle-aged man was extremely enraged. “This daddy is a 6-stars!”
“May I ask how old you are this year?”
Sun Mo’s lips twitched.
‘Eh!
‘The face of the middle-aged man immediately became the color of pig liver because he understood what Sun Mo meant.
“No matter how I look at it, you are older than me, right?”
Sun Mo berated. “Yet, your star rank is actually the same as mine? Have all these years you’ve been living gone to the dogs?”
“If you have the face to brag loudly to educate me, why don’t you scram back home and study harder to improve your star-rank and character?”
“You..”
The middle-aged man was so angry that he almost coughed up blood. “I want to fight you!”
“Old Zhang, calm your anger!”
‘A few good friends of the middle-aged man tried to persuade him.
Let alone this Great Teacher Zhang, even all the great teachers on the scene felt very embarrassed. (Someone like you would only appear once every ten thousand years, alright?)
(But Sun Mo’s expertise in weaponsmithing is also already at the great ancestor-level? Isn’t this a little too strong?)
“A fight? Sure!”
Sun Mo smiled malevolently. “Let’s make it a life-and-death battle. Do you dare?”
“Gurgle!”
Great Teacher Zhang gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Truthfully speaking, he didn’t really dare to accept it, but there were tens of thousands of people here looking at him. If he lost his guts now, his reputation would be destroyed.
“Come on then, who is afraid of who?”
(Damn, this daddy is going all out. I don’t believe you have time to cultivate when you already have ‘great ancestor-level’ expertise in two subjects. This daddy will definitely be able to crush your head.)
“Sun Mo, fifth level of the Longevity Realm. Please guide me!”
Sun Mo introduced.
“Huh?”
Great Teacher Zhang blinked as a look of dumbfounded amazement appeared on his face. However, his heart was panicking, and a buzzing sound was ringing in his ears.
(Did I hear wrongly?)
(Why is his cultivation base the same as mine?)
(One must know that I’m currently 145 years old. I feel like my years living have all gone to the dogs.)
Whispers abounded in the surroundings as countless sighs of surprise and shocked gazes gathered on Sun Mo. They were looking at this outrageously young man.
“Quickly get on with the introduction?!”
Sun Mo urged.
“Z..Zhang Zechun, fifth level of the Longevity Realm!”
Usually, Zhang Zechun would feel a sense of superiority when he reported his cultivation level because his cultivation speed could be considered very fast. But at this moment, he felt so unsightly that he wanted to dig a hole and hide.
Honestly speaking, Zhang Zechun didn’t want to fight anymore.
From the cultivation arts used by Sun Mo’s personal students, he could tell that Sun Mo’s combat strength was definitely top tier.
(Damn, am I brain damaged? Why did I want to fight?)
Zhang Zechun snuck a glance at the head judge and the familiar great teachers around him.
(Why didn’t you guys say something to persuade me earlier? If you guys did, I could just follow the flow and step down gracefully.)
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zechun understood.
These fellows were also curious about how strong Sun Mo was and wanted to personally witness his strength. So he was treated like a white lab rat by them.
“Can we begin?”
Sun Mo asked in an annoyed tone.
“S..sure!”
Just after Zhang Zechun finished speaking, he felt his vision being dazzled. A silhouette had appeared before him and unleashed a heavy punch.
Hu~
A gust of wind blasted his face, and the intensity was like a level 13 hurricane on the wind scale. Even his hair was blown away.
Invincible Buddha Fist!
Sun Mo attacked ferociously.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Zhang Zechun didn’t dare to receive the attack head-on, but despite him giving his all in defense, he could only receive three punches. After that, he felt like his bones were about to shatter.
Swish~ Swish~ Swish~
Zhang Zechun executed his movement art and retreated with explosive speed, wanting to lengthen the distance between them. He could see that Sun Mo truly had the intent to kill. Evidently, Sun Mo wanted to use him to shock and scare the others.
(This won’t do! I have to concede now!)
Although he couldn’t ‘harden’ anymore, he could still use his fingers. After all, the world was so large and there were still so many beauties waiting for him to visit.
Sun Mo stood still, but violent waves of spirit qi gushed forth from his body. After that, it took the form of an angry-faced arhat that surged forward and threw out a heavy punch at Zhang Zechun.
“THER.
Zhang Zechun didn’t have time to curse. His inner organs were pulverized by that arhat, causing him to cough up blood and some pieces of his shattered organs.
Zhang Zechun wanted to forfeit and didn’t want to resist anymore. Hence, he turned and fled, wanting to get off the platform.
(I’ve given up, he probably wouldn’t chase and kill me, right?)
Zhang Zechun’s thoughts painted a pretty scene, but an icy voice soon rang out behind him.
“You what?”
Zhang Zechun’s countenance drastically changed. (When did he appear behind me? Wrong, who’s the Sun Mo in front of me, then?)
(Is this a clone? But why is it so real? This is almost comparable to the clone from the ultimate divine art of the Skyraise Academy – the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art.)
Zhang Zechun no longer had any opportunity to understand because this punch of Sun Mo exploded his head.
Huala~
White-colored brain matter mixed with blood splattered around as a cruel picture was painted on the ground.
“Who else wants to fight a life-and-death battle with me?* Sun Mo swept his gaze through the surroundings.
Bang!
As the sound of the corpse hitting the platform rang out, the entire place fell silent. Everyone began to inhale coldly.
(This Sun Mo, isn’t his speed of killing people a little too fast?)
Honestly speaking, the vast majority of people couldn’t see what had happened clearly.
Why did Zhang Zechun die in the blink of an eye?
There wasn’t even time for a clown’s performance.
“No wonder the disciples of Sun Mo are so powerful. With such an impressive teacher, if his students couldn’t learn anything, they might as well jump into the river to commit suicide!”
Some of the older people in the crowd were now looking at Sun Mo with glowing eyes. They really wanted him to be the teacher of their students.
“Sun Mo, you are too lawless!”
The judge berated. “Killing someone just because you are angry. Do you still have the magnanimous heart and noble demeanor of a great teacher?!”
“You want me to not kill my opponent in a life-and-death battle? Do you think we are playing house?”
Sun Mo surveyed the head judge and activated Divine Sight. However, it only showed ‘unknown target’. Although he couldn’t see the head judge’s cultivation level, Sun Mo wasn’t bothered.
“If you are unhappy, how about fighting me?”
