Chapter 659: Myriad Daos Great Teacher Circle Comes to Pay A Visit!
The ten o’clock direction was the central altar of the divine hall. It was where the Wind King was sealed.
Li Ziqi understood what Sun Mo meant. If she were to successfully turn the Wind King into a spiritual beast and slaving him, then only a few people in this world could win against her.
But how was that even possible?
Any strong individual wouldn’t just have great strength. They’d also have a strong will and pride, and they would rather die than submit. To let themself become a spiritual beast?
Li Ziqi had thought of it before but hadn’t been able to find a way to do that.
“I feel that it’d be easier for me to ascend to the throne and become the female ruler of the Great Tang over being able to get the Wind King to submit to me.”
Li Ziqi smiled bitterly.
“Ziqi, humans are different from wild beasts. Our greatest advantage is that we can think and have intelligence!”
Sun Mo preached. “And wisdom is a power that can change the impossible possible!”
In ancient times, someone who could go up against 10,000 people would be the domineering figure on the battlefield. A Lu Bu alone was invincible. Thereafter, bows appeared and a weakling would be able to kill a ferocious general by himself.
When fire weapons appeared, cold weapons retreated from history. When planes and tanks appeared, infantries were no longer the main forces on the battlefield.
Now, nuclear deterrence was the foundation for a country’s standing.
Without nuclear missiles, the country wouldn’t have any say in things.
And all these were reflections of wisdom as a type of power.
Li Ziqi shook her head. That was the Wind King that they were talking about, one of the kings who stood at the very top of the food chain. Even an expert at the legendary realm might not necessarily be able to win against it.
“Ziqi, do you know why there are so few kings?”
Sun Mo asked again.
“It’s because the path to become a king is too difficult.”
Li Ziqi knew about this point. Since ancient days, only a few heroes had had the guts to stand up for what they believed in, fighting to rule the world, and those who could walk to the very end were even fewer.
“Yes, this is how people should be. Why is it that most people are ordinary people? It’s because the difficulties that they’ve resolved are too few and too mediocre.”
Take work for example. If you could resolve more problems than the others, then you would be highly regarded by your boss and get a higher salary. You might even be able to become your own boss.
Li Ziqi went into deep thought.
“Even when one goes out to play, there’ll be a need to resolve problems.”
Sun Mo had a good friend who wanted to travel overseas without any plans but didn’t succeed due to problems with visa, language, accommodations, and other problems.
Why was that the case?
After researching thoroughly and realizing the problem of language barriers when he’d be booking plane tickets, hotel reservations, as well as when he was traveling around, he cowered.
There was no helping it. It was too troublesome. He wouldn’t even be able to read the menu at a restaurant.
“It’s impossible for everything to be smooth-sailing in one’s life. It’s just a process of solving problems one after another.”
Sun Mo was well-experienced in these areas. “And wisdom is the key.”
“Remember the saying, ‘nothing is perfect, no one is flawless.’ In this world, there isn’t a perfect king, let alone one who has been sealed up!”
Sun Mo let out a soft laugh.
“You’re saying...”
Li Ziqi started to understand a little. “You want me to tackle its weakness?”
“You’re promising and worth teaching!”
Sun Mo rubbed the little sunny egg’s head and then said in a solemn tone, “Ziqi, I’m going to assign you your first ever assignment. Take down the Wind King and let it become your spiritual beast.”
“Teacher, you think too highly of me.”
Li Ziqi smiled bitterly. “I think I should just help you lay your bedsheets and fold your blankets!”
“Ziqi, if you wish to rise to a 4-star great teacher, you’ll need to comprehend at least 12 great teacher halos and be at the expert-level in four secondary occupations. You also need to have a personal disciple on the Hero Rankings!”
Sun Mo looked at this 14-year-old young lady with a hopeful gaze. “I’ve now grasped 11 halos and am at least the expert-level in the study of spirit runes, art of spiritual beast control, study of planting, and herbology. Do you understand what I mean?”
Li Ziqi’s expression was solemn and she suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure.
“It shouldn’t be a problem for me to comprehend another great teacher halo in this one year. Then, my only obstacle to participate in the 4-star great teacher examination is my personal disciples.”
Sun Mo hadn’t planned on participating in the 4-star examinations. The reason why he said this was just to give Li Ziqi pressure.
“It is impossible for even Xuanyuan Po, who improves at the fastest rate, to rise to the blood-ignition realm in a year. Then, my only hope is on you.”
The personal disciples battle in the 4-star great teacher examination wouldn’t be separated by age groups anymore. It’d just be a free-for-all. People who could get onto the Hero Rankings must all be geniuses.
Why were An Xinhui and Jin Mujie stuck at 3-star?
They themselves were strong enough, but their students were too far off.
“Teacher, I’ll subdue the Wind King!”
Li Ziqi pursed her lips.
Rising by four stars consecutively was a great glory that had never appeared before in the Saint Gate. As the first disciple, she must bring her teacher this glory.
Rising four stars consecutively meant that one had to consecutively participate and succeed in the examinations. Since the ancient days, a few had risen by three stars consecutively, but none of them could continue that streak.
If Sun Mo did it, he’d be the first of all great teachers in history.
...
“I believe you can do it!” Sun Mo patted Li Ziqi’s shoulder. “Right, I have a cultivation art to impart to you.”
Sun Mo no longer had to explain things word by word to the little sunny egg. Soul Imprint was the fastest teaching method.
Sun Mo filled his brain with everything about the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art, and then white light lit up on his right hand.
Li Ziqi concentrated.
“Are you ready?”
After seeing the little sunny egg nodding, Sun Mo punched out.
Boom!
White light smashed into Li Ziqi’s mind together with all the information about the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art.
“This... this...”
Li Ziqi was completely astonished. She had seen Bai Shuang use this cultivation art before. There was no need to talk about the meaning behind it.
To the little sunny egg who had extremely weak motor skills, this cultivation art was the most suitable for her. The Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art’s cultivating method was primarily through meditation.
“Make good use of it. With this, you can also rise to the Longevity Realm!”
Sun Mo encouraged her.
“Teacher!”
Li Ziqi immediately wanted to drop to her knees, but Sun Mo held her up.
“Can you not stand on ceremony?”
Sun Mo was helpless.
“Teacher!”
Li Ziqi hugged Sun Mo, her face filled with tears. Sun Mo was really good to her.
Learning this cultivation art would mean that she had the chance of reaching the Longevity Realm. This meant that she’d have a few more decades added to her lifespan.
This bestowal made it impossible for Li Ziqi to return his favor.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi +10,000. Reverence (53,250/100,000).
“Alright, look at how horrible you look now.”
Sun Mo wiped off the tears on the little sunny egg’s face with his fingers.
“I’ll go see the Wind King!”
Li Ziqi turned and walked toward the altar. At the same time, her heart was filled with gratitude and admiration for her teacher.
Her teacher must have noticed that she was unhappy and thus he said these and then taught her such a peak-grade cultivation art.
She had owed him too much. Hence, she must do everything she could to help him become a 4-star great teacher.
In the shadows, Ying Baiwu leaned against the wall, feeling indignant. (Teacher, I can do it as well.)
...
In the office, Gao Cheng went up close to Du Xiao.
“Teacher Du, what present did you prepare for Sister Xia?”
“A set of cosmetic powder and rouge!”
Du Xiao smiled. In the past, Gao Cheng referred to Xia Yuan as Teacher Xia, but now had changed it to Sister Xia. This was the benefit brought by a 2-star great teacher title.
“Oh? What brand does Sister Xia like?”
Gao Cheng continued to probe. He could use this information for future gifts.
Pan Yi listened to their conversation, looking envious. The examination this year was so difficult, but Xia Yuan had succeeded. She was really lucky.
When it was about eight, Xia Yuan came. She had just entered and sat down when she saw that her office desk was very clean. It had clearly been cleaned up.
Even the potted plant on her desk had been watered.
“Sister Xia, I’ve placed your teaching materials over there. I didn’t mess things up for you, did I?”
Gao Cheng walked over with smiles.
It hadn’t actually been messed up. The reason he said this was just to take the chance to tell Xia Yuan that he was the one who had tidied up her desk. Otherwise, wouldn’t he have wasted his efforts?
“Thank you, Teacher Gao.”
Xia Yuan expressed her thanks.
“Sister Xia, congratulations on rising to become a 2-star great teacher.”
Gao Cheng offered the gift box he had taken a great effort to prepare.
“How can I possibly accept it?”
Xia Yuan refused.
“It’s just a small gift. Sister Xia, please don’t stand on ceremony.”
Gao Cheng smiled.
“Bootlicker!”
Xiao Hong let out a cold snort. At the thought of how Xia Yuan was now of the same star level as she was, she felt a little displeased.
“Sister Xia, can you share your experience with us?”
Du Xiao put down her gift. Both Xia Yuan and her were both from An Xinhui’s faction and thus were very close with each other.
“Curry up to Sun Mo!”
Xia Yuan didn’t hide anything.
“What?”
Du Xiao was stunned. Gao Cheng appeared stunned as well.
“What kind of rubbish is that?”
Xiao Hong frowned.
“The reason I can pass this time around is all thanks to Teacher Sun.”
Just as Xia Yuan said this, Jiang Yongnian pushed the door open and came in. When he saw that Gao Cheng and Du Xiao were crowding around Xia Yuan, his countenance turned even more grim.
It was because he had taken part in the examination but couldn’t pass it.
In terms of standards, he was actually slightly better than Xia Yuan.
“Teacher Sun has helped me and Zheng Hao a lot. If it wasn’t because of Teacher Sun’s God Hands massage, there’s no way he’d be able to get into the top 100 in the personal disciples battle!”
Xia Yuan didn’t feel embarrassed. It was because everyone knew how amazing Sun Mo was.
Jiang Yongnian sat down. His expression might seem to be calm, but he was actually feeling extremely regretful. (If I had lowered my stance and pleaded Sun Mo, I’d be a 2-star as well. Is it too late to go now?)
Sigh!
Looking at the two stars on the left chest area of Xia Yuan’s attire, Jiang Yongnian felt extremely jealous.
“Aren’t you guys going to recruit students?”
After tidying up her desk, Xia Yuan got up, feeling hopeful about life. A 2-star great teacher would have greater confidence when recruiting students.
Jiang Yongnian felt even more depressed. He wanted to go, but his star-level was too low and he kept getting rejected.
“Quick! Go to the school gates! The Myriad Daos Academy’s Headmaster Cao has brought his great teacher circle to create trouble.”
Zhou Shanyi dashed into the office, shouting out while wearing a nervous expression.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Everyone stood up in unison and walked out quickly. A rival headmaster had led his team to challenge them. He had even chosen to come during the student recruitment meet. This was definitely a great conflict.
The number one famous school in Jingling would be decided today!
