At a tunnel 50 meters away from the broodmother, Sun Mo’s group and the observer squatted and observed the battle situation through a crystal board. “What is this? We can monitor them in real-time?”
Sun Mo was curious.
The crystal board in the observer’s hands was flat and smooth. Although the scene on it was a little blurry, all of them could roughly see what was happening in the cave. “The Saint Gate has excavated many darkness technologies from the ruins of the Darkness Continent. This crystal board is just one of them.”
Gu Xiuxun explained.
“Can we buy it on the market?”
The current Sun Mo didn’t lack money.
Gu Xiuxun didn’t say anything, but the observer couldn’t control it anymore.
“Stop dreaming. Such darkness technologies are sealed to the outside world, and only us from the observer group can use them. After this is over, we have to return the crystal boards to the Saint Gate!”
The observer explained.
Let alone buying, ordinary people wouldn’t even have a chance to see this.
Sun Mo’s lips twitched. Wasn’t it just a stupid crystal board? What was the big deal? (This daddy had played games on a 10,000 RMB computer less than one year ago and watched adult movies on a 4K HD screen. Have I ever been arrogant?) “Speaking of which, are you not nervous at all?”
The observer felt curious. (Your students are in a life and death situation!)
“We are so close to them and can instantly save them if danger arises!”
Although Sun Mo was unhappy about the observer’s attitude, he couldn’t help but admit that this fellow was impressive indeed, being able to appear and disappear silently. His tracking abilities were also awesome and he was constantly monitoring the battle situation.
“Oh now, Li Ziqi is in danger!”
Fan Yao shouted.
Just when Gu Xiuxun wanted to go over to help, Sun Mo had rushed out.
(Where’s the calmness you showed earlier? So, you are actually more nervous than anyone else!)
“Sun Mo halt. If you continue to run over, I will strip your school’s participation qualification!”
The observer threatened.
“Sun Mo, it’s fine. It’s settled!”
Gu Xiuxun swept a glance at the crystal board and immediately stopped Sun Mo when she saw that the broodmother’s attacks had stopped.
“I needed to pee urgently.” Sun Mo shrugged. “The observer wants to meddle in matters like this as well?”
The observer was speechless. He was so angry that his chest was heaving as he couldn’t fault this ‘explanation’.
Gu Xiuxun was unable to restrain a smile as she mentally mused, ‘your nickname as Black Doggy Sun is truly apt. Your toxic tongue can anger a human to death.’
The observer took out his little notebook and pretended to record something with a straight face, wanting to try and frighten Sun Mo. In the end, when he snuck a glance at Sun Mo, he discovered that Sun Mo didn’t even seem to care.
“Is Lu Zhiruo’s spiritual control technique so powerful?”
Fan Yao had a face filled with shock. After he wiped away the sweat on his forehead, he heaved a sigh of relief. (Damn, if this continues, this daddy’s heart is going to stop beating from fright.) But after that, his face turned to one of joy. He was smiling so widely that it looked like a flower blooming. Earlier, after seeing the human-faced spiders using a battle strategy and surrounding the new student group, Fan Yao was in despair. He felt that the Central Province Academy was going to fail this year. However, he didn’t expect that the students not only didn’t choose to escape, but they even chose to enter the broodmother’s nest instead, wanting to enslave it and to find a chance to live in the face of death...
The courage was truly worthy of admiration!
“The luck of you guys is truly good!”
The observer had nothing to say, but he had to admit that the performances of these students were very awesome. This was especially so for Sun Mo’s students. It could be said that their presence had determined the success and failure of this operation.
If they continued excelling like this, the Central Province Academy had a hope of ascending to the ‘C’ grade this year! “Zhang Yanzong is pretty impressive too!”
Song Ren complimented Gu Xiuxun a little.
“Hehe!”
Gu Xiuxun felt unhappy. Zhang Yanzong was willing to sacrifice himself to bring up the rear. This was very tyrannical, but Xuanyuan Po was doing the same thing as well. Also, he was inferior in the aspect of strategy when compared to Li Ziqi.
If people judged his comprehensive strengths, Zhang Yanzong didn’t really have any flaws. However, he wasn’t outstanding in any areas either.
“You guys should feel content. If I could recruit even one of your students, I would be smiling in my sleep for an entire month!”
Fan Yao felt envy and jealousy.
Who didn’t want good students?
(These students of Sun Mo are all very outstanding, and they will surely display great brilliance in the league tournament. At that time, great teachers would come and headhunt them. I wonder if Sun Mo would be able to keep them?)
Fan Yao felt some worry.
In the great teacher world, great teachers wouldn’t usually headhunt the students of others. However, given how vast the forest was, there would surely be all sorts of birds. There was a small portion of great teachers who wouldn’t follow the rules.
Naturally, they would find a suitable reason and give compensation to smooth things over.
This was like the soccer world. When the rich Manchester United wanted to recruit players, they would definitely poach soccer talents from the other top teams. Dreams of fame weren’t a joke. Some soccer talents were willing to take a pay cut if they could join the big shots.
In the great teacher world, such situations existed as well. After all, if an 8-star great teacher came to poach students, very few of them would be able to withstand such a temptation.
As for 9-star?
-star great teachers didn’t need to poach people because a flood of students would be queuing at their doorsteps. Even if they wanted to select a disciple, they wouldn’t be able to finish selecting! This was simply human nature. Who didn’t aspire to climb higher?
Gu Xiuxun’s expression was filled with gratification and worry. She was afraid she might not be able to make Zhang Yanzong stay.
In the cave, everyone crowded over.
“Can I touch it?”
Shi Qiao looked at the picture of the beautiful female on the broodmother’s head, feeling a strange sense of beauty.
“It’s so ugly, why do you want to do that?”
Zeng Gang didn’t understand. He sat on the ground and panted, almost frightened to death earlier.
“You won’t understand.”
Shi Qiao stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the picture. But before he could do so, he already saw Xu Jialiang lifting his leg and trampled on the broodmother’s butt.
Ji!
The broodmother immediately turned. Its mouth was wide open, wanting to bite and kill Xu Jialiang.
Swish
Everyone hurriedly retreated and arranged themselves in a tight formation.
“Sis spidey, he has no ill intention!”
Lu Zhiruo hurriedly pacified the broodmother.
“What were you doing?”
Zhang Yanzong glared at Xu Jialiang.
“Alright, let’s quickly leave this hellish place!”
Chu Jian urged.
“Wait a minute. Zhiruo, why don’t you ask if there are any hidden treasures around here?”
Ying Baiwu moved toward the papaya girl and whispered in a soft voice.
Since the broodmother knew how to use battle strategies, many humans must have perished before it, being captured and turned into food. Maybe there were some treasures among their items.
Lu Zhiruo immediately moved her hands and legs around and creaked the word ‘Ji~’, conversing with the broodmother.
Everyone was completely dumbfounded. Even a spirit controller wouldn’t communicate with their spiritual beasts in such a manner, right?
“I got it, the treasures are under its throne!”
Lu Zhiruo reported. She then took out a handful of popcorn and passed them to the broodmother. But before it could eat, the little loachie rushed over and finished the popcorn first.
“Throne?”
Everyone subconsciously glanced toward the broodmother’s old nest.
“What are we waiting for?”
Zeng Gang had a look of joy on his face, wanting to rush over. They were going to be rich!
“Wait a minute!”
Zhang Yanzong held him back. “Let me make things clear first. This is a competition. No matter how we split the spoils, no one must have any resentment. If not, I would rather all of us give up on the treasures.
“That’s for sure!”
Several students nodded.
“Zhiruo, you’ve enslaved the broodm...”
“It’s enlisting not enslaving!” The papaya girl interrupted Zhang Yanzong. She would never treat the broodmother as a slave.
The kind Lu Zhiruo immediately gained good will from everyone.
“The battle spoils will be split according to the danger levels we faced earlier. Whoever gave out the most would gain the most. The broodmother is captured by Zhiruo, so she will get the majority share. Li Ziqi came out with the strategy and guided our actions, she will get the second-highest share. Tantai Yutang and Ying Baiwu have impeded the broodmother, and the degree of danger is extremely high. They will get the third-highest share. After that, Xuanyuan Po and I will get the fourth-highest share because we are the main forces in charge of bringing up the rear. After that, the rest of you will split the remaining battle spoils. Any objections?”
Zhang Yanzong spoke, backed with logic.
“No objections!”
The students agreed. Everyone could see for themselves who had saved the situation. Honestly speaking, Sun Mo’s students were truly impressive.
It was unknown how he taught them.
“Oi, Tantai. Is it easy if I want to take Teacher Sun as my teacher now?” Xu Jialiang asked in a small voice.
“What do you think?”
Tantai Yutang laughed. “Stop dreaming, it’s extremely difficult!” Shi Qiao sighed. If they could take Teacher Sun as their personal teacher, how would it ever be Xu Jialiang’s turn?
The broodmother’s throne was shifted away, and there was a large hole underneath. There weren’t many things inside, but they looked quite valuable.
There were gems, spirit stones, herbs, and a few weapons. There were also some bones and some unknown ores.
Everyone exchanged mutual glances. They had no idea what these were.
“Ziqi, can you give us a summary of them?”
Xu Dingjiang smiled obsequiously. Everyone was already used to how learned Li Ziqi was. If they encountered anything they didn’t know, they would ask her first.
“The herb is known as the Hundred Spirit Grass. It can clear your meridians and increase the amount of spirit qi stored in your body. Judging by its size, it should be a 300-year old herb.”
“The weapons are ordinary. Only that short blade is a spirit weapon, but it’s merely a mid-grade one.”
“These ores are worthless and only beautiful in appearance!”
Li Ziqi introduced the main points of the objects.
“By calculating, everything should be able to fetch about 100,000 spirit stones!” “So much?”
Everyone started panting.
JijiThe broodmother clicked its teeth. The papaya girl quickly consoled it and reminded everyone in a low voice, “The broodmother says that these items are her treasure. Whoever touches them should be prepared to be bitten to death by her!”
“Can we ignore the amount of money first?”
Tantai Yutang’s lips curled. “We are still in the middle of a competition!”
“Bring the items along, we will split the shares when we are setting camp tonight!”
Li Ziqi urged.
Just when everyone was packing up the battle spoils, the few unlucky fellows who were unconscious started to wake up.
“Who am I?”
“Where am I?”
“Where’s my wife-in-waiting?”
Peng Kunqi rubbed his head and sat up. There was a look of agony on his face.
“Wife-in-waiting?”
Zeng Gang pursed his lips. (Hmph, as expected of a descendant of a rich clan. Even if he is ugly, he wouldn’t lack a wife.)
“Ah!”
When Wu Jitong opened his eyes, he immediately saw the hairy abdomens of a few large spiders standing beside him. He was so frightened that he directly screamed.
Siiii
Even his pants were wet.
(Am I going to die?) The students from Chongde also woke up and they were extremely nervous. One even grabbed a stone and tossed it at the spiders. That person eventually sank back into unconsciousness by a kick to his head from Xuanyuan Po.
“Everyone from Chongde, we are the ones who saved you. Remember to pay us back this huge favor!”
Li Ziqi smiled. She actually didn’t mind the favor. She only spoke like this because she wanted to anger these fellows. Who told them to look down on the Central Province Academy earlier?
Alright, it was fine to look down on the Central Province Academy. However, the Central Province Academy was her teacher’s school. This naturally mattered then.
As long as something had a connection with her teacher, she wouldn’t allow anyone to look down on it. Otherwise, those who looked down on it should be prepared to pay the price!
“Sa...saved us?”
The students from Chongde had dumbstruck looks on their faces.
[1] Wife-in-waiting: in the past, rich clans would purchase ‘child brides’ from poor families. They would raise the female child, and the female child would be married to their son.
