Chapter 1202: My Student Is Really Amazing!
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Stop!”
Grand Tutor Su’s voice suddenly rang out. When it entered Ying Baiwu’s ears, her body immediately stiffened on the spot.
This was the effect of Profound Words.
“Teacher Sun, your disciple is really amazing!”
Grand Tutor Su praised.
Many guests also spoke out polite words while wearing smiles.
Of course, it was inappropriate to say that they were currying up to Sun Mo. This young girl was truly fierce, her battle prowess definitely being unrivaled amongst those of the same cultivation base.
“Weiwei!”
A few of the princes from the Great Xia looked horrified and wanted to go over and help their sister up. However, they had just stood up when they heard Xia Taikang’s cold snort.
“Trash!”
Xia Taikang’s expression was cold like ice from the extreme pole that wouldn’t melt for 10,000 years. “Let her crawl back by herself!”
Sssss!
His words caused many people to feel bad but a little fearful at the same time. Xia Taikang really did have the disposition of a tyrannical ruler, and it was best not to offend him in the future.
Even though Xia Wei wasn’t knocked out, her head felt groggy and she lay on the floor, unable to move.
“Men, hurry up and give Xia Princess treatment!”
The Qi Emperor instructed, letting out a sigh in his heart. The princess was such a pretty girl, but she ended up being beaten up into such a horrible state. How was she going to get married in the future?
“Junior Martial Sister Baiwu, you’re so impressive!”
Lu Zhiruo felt envious.
Ying Baiwu smiled and didn’t return to her seat right away. Instead, she looked toward the Great Xia’s delegation with a challenging gaze.
“So arrogant!”
A young man stood up and entered the field with a somersault. “I’ll come meet you in a fight!”
“Baiwu, you’ve fought. Leave this match to me!”
As Xuanyuan Po spoke, he also performed a front somersault coolly and entered the center of the field.
Ying Baiwu was about to refuse when Sun Mo stopped her.
“Baiwu, come back.”
Sun Mo still didn’t feel assured about Ying Baiwu taking on this match. The person who had issued this challenge was many years older than the iron-headed young girl, and they weren’t of the same level.
Neither of them exposed their background and cultivation level, and they went against each other after receiving their weapons.
This Great Xia’s prince, Xia Wuhai, used a pair of octagonal bronze hammers with a head that was bigger than a yak’s head. If they smashed onto someone, they’d be dealt a pulverizing blow and turn people into mashed meat.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The two of them engaged in battle.
Xuanyuan Po was tall with long legs, and his arms could reach out very far too. His silver longspear swung around agilely like a Jiao coming out of the sea, bellowing furiously at the mountains and rivers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The silver spear hit a bronze hammer, creating brilliant sparks.
“This guy is so strong!”
“That’s amazing! I can’t tell what his cultivation level is!”
“This guy is born to battle!”
The great teachers present looked at Xuanyuan Po with envy. The feeling eventually turned into a desire to have him.
They also wanted a student with such amazing physical aptitude!
Although not many people could tell whether or not someone had a talent for cultivation, there were always some exceptions. Take Xuanyuan Po for example. His physical attributes were too good.
Xia Wuhai was also very tall with a thin waist and broad shoulders, forming an upside-down triangle for his upper body. He also had bulging muscles, which made him look like a valiant general who could take on 10,000 enemies by himself. When he swung his bronze hammer, a strong wind would blow. However, he didn’t have any advantage in strength against Xuanyuan Po.
The people from Xia Country were stunned.
In terms of battle prowess, Xia Wuhai was ranked third in the delegation. But now, he was being suppressed by the white-clothed young man and his silver spear.
Prairie Blazing Fire Spear Technique, Azure Firefall!
Swoosh!
The silver spear thrust out with sparks, looking like a fire snake that was darting about in the grass plains. Then, countless flames erupted like many blooming flowers.
Xia Wuhai was helpless against this. After a short period of exchanges, he was rendered in a disadvantageous situation and could only go all out in defending.
Great Flame Goshawk!
Ding!
The silver spear tapped on the bronze hammer, then thrust out, swung, and flipped. One of Xia Wuhai’s bronze hammers then flew away from his grip.
“Goddamn it!”
Xia Wuhai cursed and tossed out the battle hammer in his left hand, smashing it against the other battle hammer that had flown out of his grip.
Bang!
This battle hammer’s trajectory changed and accelerated, smashing out toward Xuanyuan Po like a missile. The other one returned to Xia Wuhai’s hand.
“Excellent!”
This move won him a lot of cheers.
Xuanyuan Po’s brows didn’t even furrow when facing this surprising move. He thrust out his silver spear quickly.
Meteor Fall!
The speartip poked onto the bronze hammer, and as a ‘ding’ rang out, the hammer came smashing toward Xia Wuhai like a volcano.
Nine Revolutions Flame Dragon Tornado!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Many fire dragons gushed out from the silver spear and attacked Xia Wuhai.
“Stop!”
Grand Tutor Su shot up and took a big step forward, appearing in front of Xia Wuhai and then slapping down with a palm.
Boom!
Those seething flame dragons were smashed into scattering sparks.
Xuanyuan Po looked at Grand Tutor Su and flicked his spear tip, wanting to continue attacking.
“Xuanyuan, stop!”
Sun Mo reproached. Otherwise, this combat addict would challenge Grand Tutor Su.
“What are you doing?”
Xia Wuhai was enraged.
“What was I doing? If I didn’t step forth, you’d have turned into charcoal.”
Grand Tutor Su let out a cold snort.
Xia Wuhai’s countenance turned dark. He couldn’t refute this as Great Teacher Su was the grand tutor of the Qi Country. He was the most amazing great teacher here with keen judgment.
Creak!
Xia Taikang flattened the bronze wine holder in his hand.
Even Xia Wuhai had lost. This meant that the others wouldn’t have any chance.
As for himself?
He’d definitely be able to win if he were to step forth. However, his opponent shouldn’t be someone like Xuanyuan Po! He wasn’t worthy!
If he were to win, he must win against Sun Mo!
Moreover, after the Arts Battles, there were still the Martial Arts Battles. He’d need to participate then.
“Great Teacher Sun, this amazing disciple of yours will definitely have extraordinary achievements in the future!”
Grand Tutor Su was envious.
If it wasn’t because he didn’t want to offend Sun Mo, he’d definitely try to poach this young man. If there were no accidents, a spear saint would be born in the Nine Provinces 20 years later.
“Grand Tutor Su, thank you for your praise!”
Sun Mo smiled, thinking to himself that although the combat addict was very strong, his other disciples weren’t bad either. In terms of pure strength, Xianyu Wei was fiercer than Xuanyuan Po.
It should be said that this plains girl was invincible in a bare-handed fight.
Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po both won an exhilarating battle, causing the Great Xia’s delegation to shut up. It also made the others not dare to challenge them easily.
Not only was Sun Mo amazing, but the disciples he taught were also very outstanding.
The banquet continued.
Although Sun Mo didn’t compose any poems, other people could. After all, the reason they had come to participate in the Five Empires War Discussion was so that they could spread their name and build some reputation.
Sun Mo felt like leaving. After these youngsters read out their poems, they’d look at him for his assessment. They showed such a sincere attitude that he felt bad refusing them.
However, with the bit of learnings he had, he found it hard to review them.
Sun Mo had learned to appreciate ancient poems and verses before and could also understand Classical Chinese writing. He could even write them. However, it was just a hobby for him and he hadn’t studied it in greater depth.
Moreover, even if a master in the studies of ancient Chinese civilization were to come to the ancient times, it’d probably be tough on them too.
However, if they were to talk about calculus, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and geography, Sun Mo would be able to give all of them a crushing defeat.
Just as Sun Mo was about to find an excuse to leave, a maid came to his side and whispered something to his ear.
“Eldest Princess, I have something to attend to and will take my leave for a while. Help me take care of Ziqi and the others!”
Sun Mo said this before leaving with the maid.
He was one of the most important guests at the banquet. Many people found it strange and wondered where he was heading to when they saw that he had left!
“Why did Yuzhen’s maid look for Sun Mo?”
The Qi Emperor was puzzled, but he didn’t intervene. There were still many days to the Five Empires War Discussion, and he wasn’t afraid that Sun Mo would run away.
“What’s with that maid? Who does she work for?”
Lu Zhiruo found it curious that their teacher was called away. Nothing would go wrong, right?
“She should be Jiang Yuzhen’s maid!”
Qin Yaoguang analyzed. It was because she had seen this Princess Flying Swallow leaving a few minutes ago.
“Huh? Why is she looking for Teacher?” Lu Zhiruo guessed. “To acknowledge him as her teacher?”
“Do you think that’s possible?”
Qin Yaoguang rolled her eyes. “Jiang Yuzhen is a few years older than Teacher!”
Li Ziqi sat beside them and felt unhappy after listening to her junior martial sisters’ conversation. That Jiang Yuzhen couldn’t have fallen for their teacher, could she? If she was planning to marry him, what should they do?
It was no wonder that the little sunny egg would be worried. There were too many beautiful women around Sun Mo, some charming, some gentle, some adorable, some older, some pure and innocent. However, he had never been moved by them and didn’t even visit brothels.
There shouldn’t be any problem with their teacher’s body and mind. This meant that he didn’t like women of such styles. Now that a military lady suddenly appeared, she might just be their teacher’s cup of tea.
Gulp! Gulp!
Li Ziqi chugged down wine.
“Eldest Martial Sister, what are you doing?”
Lu Zhiruo was given a fright. (Aren’t you drinking too much?)
“It’s just a bit of wine. Why are you so anxious?”
Tantai Yutang filled up Li Ziqi’s cup.
The corners of his lips curled up into a sneaky smile. It wouldn’t be bad to see Li Ziqi making a fool out of herself. If that happened, he’d have a trump card to sneer about if she were to use her status as the eldest martial sister to scold him.
The sickly guy sneakily prepared the image-recording stone.
“Hmm?”
Qin Yaoguang was also a smart girl. After seeing Tantai Yutang’s gaze, she instantly understood and started to persuade Li Ziqi to drink up too. “Oh dear, Teacher won’t fall for Jiang Yuzhen, would he?”
“Definitely not!”
Li Ziqi thought to herself. (It’s just a military lady. I can do it too. I’ll put on light armor and a cape tomorrow.)
With Sun Mo gone, those youngsters who wanted to ask him for his assessment felt very disappointed. Their enthusiasm for composing poems also plunged.
At the sight of this scene, some great teachers and high-ranking officials felt a little displeased.
(Why do you have such high popularity? We aren’t bad either! Why don’t they look for us for our assessments?)
It was impossible for a person to be liked by everyone. Therefore, the people who hated Sun Mo would inevitably make cynical remarks with some disparaging tone.
“Great Teacher Sun’s assessments earlier were either too mediocre or dry. There’s no novelty at all!”
“That’s right! I feel that the Plum Song from earlier wasn’t bad, but Great Teacher Sun felt that it was mediocre!”
“He’s nitpicking too much!”
The guests’ discussions became increasingly intense and the number of people involved increased. Everyone started to join this conversation.
“Teacher Sun’s novels are extremely well-written and there’s no issue with his paintings either. But his capabilities in poetry are really unconvincing!”
A 7-stars great teacher with the surname Cui flaunted his seniority and commented, “After all, he doesn’t have any presentable works!”
“That’s right, Great Teacher Cui’s Lantern Festival verse in your early days is known near and far. It’s said that no one dares to write about the Lantern Festival after this verse came out!”
“Even if Great Teacher Sun were to make an attempt, he probably couldn’t compare either!”
Someone immediately curried up to him.
Cui Mingsheng stroked his beard, enjoying the flatteries. He was about to speak modestly when someone slammed the table.
Bang!
“How dare any random person dare to compare with my teacher?”
Li Ziqi stood up.
