Chapter 1005: Secondary Saint Zhou? I’ll Eat Him Up for Sure. Even if Buddha Came, It Wouldn’t Be Able To Save Him!

“Oh yay! Eldest Martial Sister has won. She can become a 1-star great teacher now.”

Lu Zhiruo leaped happily and hugged Sun Mo. She was like a koala hugging a tree.

Sun Mo’s other students were applauding too.

“How is it? You can approve of her now, right?”

Jiang Leng spoke in a soft voice as he teased Tantai Yutang.

He knew that this junior martial brother of his might have a ‘damaged’ body with sickness plaguing him, but he was a youth with an extreme sense of superiority.

If Li Ziqi couldn’t get his approval, even if he had to die, he wouldn’t address her as ‘eldest martial sister’.

There was no problem with Li Ziqi’s intelligence, but her motor abilities were simply too bad. This flaw was essentially so huge that it was unfixable.

Lu Zhiruo’s heart was pure and kind, but these qualities weren’t enough for others to admire her. Her lousy aptitude and slow cultivation progress made Tantai Yutang have no way to regard this second senior martial sister highly either.

As for Xuanyuan Po, other than his terrifying talent, he didn’t have a single good point.

Tantai Yutang actually felt the most annoyed and vexed about this brainless combat addict.

As for Ying Baiwu, her intelligence was passable and her talent wasn’t bad. She was also willing to work hard. Her only problem was that she was too much of a brainless fan.

As long as something involved Sun Mo, she would lose her calmness and enter a fanatical state.

The only person Tantai Yutang could approve of was half of Jiang Leng.

Yup!

Only half!

As for Qin Yaoguang, Tantai Yutang couldn’t see through her. He probed a few times but still couldn’t see her depths. And lastly, Helian Beifang and Xianyu Wei.

…

The sickly invalid didn’t wish to speak with the barbarians.

“Still passable!”

Tantai Yutang’s lips twitched. All along, he had always felt that if he didn’t have this sickness plaguing his body, he would definitely be the most outstanding disciple of their teacher.

“She has already broken the record, but your evaluation of her is only ‘passable’?”

Jiang Leng ridiculed him. “Your judgment is really high. Honestly speaking, I loathe your attitude of pitying yourself very much. It is like you are the only one suffering in the whole world. If you truly look down on us, just leave!”

After Li Ziqi returned, Jiang Leng immediately went over to congratulate her.

Seeing all of their fellow martial siblings surrounding Li Ziqi, Tantai Yutang had an unsightly expression because of what Jiang Leng had said.

“Our teacher is truly too impressive. Teacher’s ‘most-time consecutive champion’ record has been maintained and our eldest martial sister also obtained the ‘youngest person to become a great teacher record’.”

Lu Zhiruo spoke excitedly, “We have to celebrate this by eating a delicious meal.”

“What you achieved is 100 times more than what I had anticipated.” Sun Mo sighed ruefully. “Being able to accept you as my student is truly due to my accumulated fortune of three lifetimes.”

This student was beautiful, obedient, smart, noble, had outstanding talent, and was a qualified assistant…

Sun Mo felt that compared to the system, the little sunny egg was his greatest harvest after he came to the Nine Provinces.

Naturally, Lu Zhiruo was counted as one as well.

After all, she was his lucky mascot for opening treasure chests.

“Teacher, by saying this, you would cause my karma to worsen.”

Li Ziqi covered her mouth as her voice cracked. Tears also flowed unceasingly from her eyes.

(If it wasn’t for you saving me, I would have died.)

(If it wasn’t for your meticulous guidance, I wouldn’t be standing here and have the opportunity to challenge Zhou Wenbin.)

(If there is no you, this world won’t have a place for me!)

“Teacher…”

Li Ziqi wanted to thank Sun Mo loudly and say all these words that had been hidden for a long time in her heart. However, she wasn’t able to do so.

Because she was crying due to happiness, her emotional fluctuations were too intense.

“I understand your intention!”

Sun Mo smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to tousle Li Ziqi’s hair. “Today is just the first great achievement on the long path of your life. I believe that you will be able to obtain greater and more glorious achievements in the future. Ziqi, I’m proud of you! I hope that there will be a day where you can stand on the world-class stage and challenge Secondary Saint Zhou himself, not merely one of his great grandsons.”

Bzz!

Priceless Advice activated.

The golden light illuminated the entire field.

The people who were in the range of it could sense his admiration, trust, and hopes for Li Ziqi’s future in his words.

An impulse to strive harder also appeared in the hearts of many people because of this halo’s effect.

Yet, the great teachers here felt their scalps turning numb when they heard this.

(Isn’t your target too lofty? Challenging Secondary Saint Zhou? Leaving aside your disciple, even you currently aren’t qualified.)

Secondary Saint…those who could receive this glorious title had already proven themselves. As for Sun Mo, although his current fame was great and was a new rising superstar, he was ultimately just a 3-star great teacher. He might even die several decades from now.

Naturally, the most important thing was that his words were basically courting a rebuff and forming enemies for himself.

Secondary Saint Zhou might have a vast and magnanimous heart and wouldn’t mind this. But the Zhou Clan and their old friends wouldn’t have such good tempers.

“He is still too young and impulsive. He has no idea what he should say and what he shouldn’t.”

Wang Song sighed.

(Everyone knows how wronged Li Ziqi felt when she was rejected, but you could have encouraged her privately instead.)

“If the young are not impulsive, how can they be called youngsters?”

Qian Hao rebutted. On the contrary, he admired Sun Mo even more and felt that there were no problems with his words.

If a young man in his twenties thought too much and started to worry about all the ‘what ifs’, what future would he still possibly have?

At such an age, one shouldn’t think too much. They should just do their best and run.

Hence, Qian Hao contributed another wave of favorable impression points.

“Teacher…”

Li Ziqi jumped in fright. Although she was extremely happy now, she still understood that these words shouldn’t be said openly.

Moreover, Priceless Advice had been activated, which indicated that her teacher truly had such hopes for her. But if people from the Zhou Clan were to hear this…

“Can’t you achieve it?”

Sun Mo interrupted the little sunny egg and counter-asked.

Even if Li Ziqi was the reincarnation of a saint, she wouldn’t dare to be so confident. After all, life was a long journey and who would dare to guarantee that they wouldn’t screw up?

But after seeing Sun Mo’s gaze, which was filled with admiration, trust, and anticipation, Li Ziqi’s original words of rejection turned to words of certainty.

“I can do it!”

Li Ziqi nodded heavily.

(I don’t care if you are a powerful secondary saint or a hegemon. I want to follow my teacher and overthrow your dynasty, establishing an empire that belongs to both of us.)

(Secondary Saint Zhou? I will eat him up for sure! Even if Buddha came, it wouldn’t be able to save him!)

After seeing the expression on Li Ziqi’s face changing from hesitation to trepidation to determination and finally to fearlessness… Sun Mo nodded with gratification in his heart.

Honestly speaking, he knew such words would offend people, but he had no choice but to say this.

That matter was the greatest humiliation in the little sunny egg’s life. It was also the largest knot in her heart.

No matter how many times he had privately encouraged her, it wouldn’t be worth as much as the words he spoke now after she had defeated Zhou Wenbin and obtained the title of 1-star great teacher on this vast stage.

Humans needed a breath of air to live!

The word ‘air’ didn’t represent the air we breathed to live. Rather, it was a type of spirit, a type of pursuit, a type of persistence, and a type of will.

Some of the high-ranking great teachers here understood that Sun Mo was aiding Li Ziqi to establish her resolve, helping her to gain ambition.

They couldn’t help but admire him more after this.

One must know that doing so could offend Secondary Saint Zhou.

Who would dare to do such a thing in the great teacher world?

Sun Mo could be considered one of the very few.

“Let’s return to our hotel and celebrate.”

Sun Mo patted Li Ziqi on her shoulders.

“Mn!”

Li Ziqi naturally hugged Sun Mo’s arms and leaned her head against his body.

Lu Zhiruo felt extremely envious when she saw this.

She also wanted to move closer, but she endured the urge. She knew that this moment belonged to her eldest martial sister.

“I have to work harder too!”

Lu Zhiruo clenched her fists.

The spectating crowd automatically opened up a path as they sent Sun Mo’s group away with applause.

The applause only died down after they exited the school gate.

“Teacher, tell us honestly. Did you panic then?”

Qin Yaoguang was curious.

Her personality had always been like this, direct and candid with no reservations.

“Nope!”

Sun Mo’s lips curled.

Truthfully speaking, Sun Mo had felt a little trepidation. After all, the Zhou Clan was a majestic entity.

“Yup, why is there a need to panic? In the Battle God Canyon, our teacher has helped Secondary Saint Shi to succeed on his path.”

When Xianyu Wei knew about this matter, her worship for Sun Mo increased to another tier.

Tantai Yutang rolled his eyes at this girl.

He silently mused. (Can these two people be compared?)

Shi Sheng had meditated in that canyon for a hundred years, and his social connections had all been broken. At most, his title as a secondary saint could be used to intimidate others. On the other hand, Secondary Saint Zhou had always been active and had students everywhere.

“Oh ya, if the old headmaster could wake up, our school would have two secondary saints. Who would be scared of Secondary Saint Zhou then?”

Qin Yaoguang felt great anticipation.

Everyone was very excited as well. However, they could only depend on their teacher now to think of a solution for this matter.

Li Ziqi’s emotions gradually calmed.

She had gained the qualification to become a great teacher. Next, she should do her best to prepare for the personal student battle for Sun Mo’s 4-star great teacher examination.

At that time, her weakest opponent would be at the Longevity Realm. If she really wanted to help her teacher become the champion, she would have to get into the finals at the very least. And the opponents in the finals would surely be experts at the Divine Force Realm.

She had to think of an idea to quickly subdue that Wind King!

…

“Young master, let us leave.”

Seeing the downcasted Zhou Wenbin, the old butler sighed and stretched out his hand to support him.

“Scram!”

Zhou Wenbin smacked the butler’s hand before he stood up in a shaky manner and left the field.

“Don’t follow me!” Zhou Wenbin roared.

(I need some peace and quiet!)

…

Seeing the miserable appearance of Zhou Wenbin, Jiang Zizhong suddenly felt that he was lucky.

Luckily, he hadn’t faced Li Ziqi or he might have screwed up too. The moment he thought of those Flame Explosion Runes and Sea of Lightning Runes, he would panic.

(Damn, this way of battling is only something the rich can do, I truly cannot afford to antagonize people like her!)

Speaking of which, how much money had Li Ziqi ‘spent’ for the sake of this battle?

Those spirit runes she had used probably cost over several millions of silver, right?

All of a sudden, Jiang Zizhong didn’t feel like working hard anymore.

…

“By using this battle strategy, Li Ziqi might actually have the chance to become the champion.”

“I betted on Zhou Wenbin becoming the champion, and I didn’t expect that he would actually fail. What trash, he caused me to lose a lot of money.”

“Why doesn’t he just die?”

The gamblers who had lost didn’t care what identity Zhou Wenbin had. They directly started to grumble and curse him.

…

Zhou Wenbin was as though he had lost his soul. He lowered his head as he walked in the streets. No one in the surroundings was looking at him, yet he felt like countless pairs of piercing eyes were shooting his way, filled with ridicule and mockery…

He entered a small alley to hide.

He really felt like crying.

Bang!

Zhou Wenbin knocked into a white-robed young man. He didn’t care about it and wanted to walk away, but his shoulders were grabbed.

“Do you want to chat for a while?”
