Major characters, especially those with great achievements, would generate an aura that they were worthy of reverence from within.
If Sun Mo was just a newly joined intern teacher, many students would be brave enough to mock him or even run over to consult him on some questions.
But now as Sun Mo’s fame grew greater, the students were all extremely respectful whenever they faced him. Even if they wanted to console him, they would think through it properly and ensure it wouldn’t antagonize Sun Mo or make him view them in disdain.
Because in their hearts, Sun Mo was a very high-level great teacher and they had to treat him cautiously.
Hence, at this moment, other than a few great teachers, no students were taking the initiative to chat with Sun Mo. So when Qiu Li and Meng Gang came over, it was very conspicuous.
“Teacher Sun, good morning!”
Qiu Li acted familiar with Sun Mo and smiled as she greeted amiability, exuding the sweet aura of a young girl to the max.
“Teacher Sun!”
Meng Gang felt a little embarrassed. After all, Sun Mo had taken the initiative to guide him previously, but he had ignored it.
“Mn!”
Sun Mo smiled and nodded.
Meng Gang was a pure-hearted good guy, but he was a little afraid of his girlfriend. In the future, if there were no unexpected accidents, he would be a henpecked husband. This Qiu Li wasn’t old, but her character was slick and sly with a pragmatic heart as well. However, there were no perfect humans; being pragmatic, seeking luck, and avoiding calamity was instinct.
As a teacher, Sun Mo had the obligation and responsibility to guide them toward the correct path instead of feeling disdain or loathing such characters.
Qiu Li shot a look at Meng Gang, but Meng Gang was shy. He lowered his head and felt embarrassed to speak.
“Is something the matter?”
Sun Mo asked with a smile.
“Teacher, back then you said Meng Gang could still endure the dragon roars. Is there any basis when you said that?”
Qiu Li asked and even blinked her eyes, putting on an appearance that she was sincerely consulting him.
“It’s naturally because his constitution is very good!”
Sun Mo explained.
“Anything else?”
Qiu Li frowned. (What answer was this? I know Meng Gang is tall and has a sturdy and muscular build. If it wasn’t for this reason, he wouldn’t be highly regarded by Great Teacher Xiao who repeatedly wanted to accept him as a personal student.)
“Qiu Li!”
Meng Gang had a beseeching look on his face. (Can you not act like this?)
“Meng Gang, given your aptitude, you should be able to discover that every time after you endure the impact of the dragon roars, your body quality would improve by a little, right?”
Sun Mo asked.
“Mn!”
Meng Gang nodded.
“Actually, you yourself also wanted to endure a few more dragon roars and break through your limits, but you are afraid your girlfriend might worry if you are injured, hence, you chose not to do so, right?”
Sun Mo asked again.
“How do you know this?”
Meng Gang was completely stunned. (Could it be Teacher Sun knows how to read minds? No, even if he knows, I didn’t think about it!)
For a time, Meng Gang felt that Sun Mo was extremely mysterious. His eyes were like they could see into the hearts of everyone.
“Qiu Li, Meng Gang hasn’t gotten a personal teacher yet, right?”
Sun Mo glanced at the pragmatic girl. “I can roughly guess your thoughts. You want him to wait for a good offer, wanting Meng Gang to find the best personal teacher. Hence, you don’t want him to be injured as his value might drop. This is why you would constantly monitor his body condition and once he is slightly injured, you would tell him to stop training.”
Qiu Li stared at Sun Mo in shock because he was right.
“But do you know this? When great teachers accept disciples, they not only pay attention to the aptitude of the student, but also take the student’s will and temperament into consideration. For someone who doesn’t dare to break through their own limits and challenge themselves constantly, do you think those top-level great teachers would want a student like that?”
Sun Mo guided. “Besides, even if he’s injured, with the resources those top-level teachers have, they will be able to cure him.”
“Because of your identity and horizons, the judgment you have differs from those great teachers. The details you paid attention to are different as well. One could say that your cautiousness actually delayed and impeded Meng Gang’s chance of being recruited by a top-level great teacher.”
Qiu Li was stunned by Sun Mo’s words. No wonder those excellent great teachers no longer came to look for Meng Gang in the past half a year. So, this was the reason why.
“The young should have sharpness!”
Sun Mo advised.
“What is youth?”
“They are the rising sun, they are young lion cubs, they are boiling blood. Because they are young, they can afford to make mistakes and fail. As long as they have the courage to fight again, even if they fell a hundred or a thousand times, it wouldn’t matter. Because, the failures will ultimately become their stepping stones toward success.”
As Sun Mo spoke to the end, he glanced at the surroundings.
These words weren’t spoken merely for the sake of Meng Gang and Qiu Li. It was to guide and encourage all the young people on the scene here.
“Students, flowers can bloom again, but wasted youth would be lost forever. Do not waste it!”
Bzz~
Priceless Advice activated.
The dim Dragon Subduing Palace was illuminated with golden light from Sun Mo. The pictures of the giant dragons now shone with a golden sheen and looked even cooler than before.
The entire palace was completely silent. No one spoke. But as for the youths, their chests heaved and they were panting heavily with emotional looks on their faces. They felt that even if a mountain of blades or an ocean of fire appeared before them now, they would dare to barge through it.
“Freaking well said!”
Duanmu Li clapped lightly and had a hint of praise in his eyes.
Mei Ziyu’s beautiful lips also curled into a sweet smile as she gazed at Sun Mo with a look of worship in her eyes.
(As expected, I still like Sun Mo who can speak frankly with assurance, turning trash into gold. He’s too carefree. It’s really not enough no matter how many times I look at him.)
“Teacher is so awesome!”
Xianyu Wei’s expression stirred as she clapped.
The words were truly well-spoken.
Her clapping caused everyone to wake from their dazed states as they also started applauding.
Since Priceless Advice was activated, this was enough to prove that Sun Mo was not selfish at all when he treated students. He seriously considered their futures.
“With such standards, even if he cannot join the Skyraise Academy or Heavenly Mystery Academy, it’s more than sufficient for him to be a teacher in a supreme-tier school like the Black-White Academy or Jixia Learning Palace. Why did he want to come to the Dragon Subduing Academy?”
A great teacher from the Central Plains looked at Sun Mo with puzzlement in his eyes.
An outsider would ultimately be treated like an outsider.
Although great teachers from the Central Plains could earn a few times more salary in the Dragon Subduing Academy, they couldn’t become the core of the school and join the upper echelons.
“Right, if I’m as capable as Sun Mo, I won’t choose the Dragon Subduing Academy even if you beat me to death.”
Those great teachers from the Central Plains came here for the sake of earning a high salary. After obtaining the money, they would transform it into resources and upgrade themselves. When they reached a high enough level, they would quit and return to the Central Plains and try to join the Skyraise Academy, etc.
“I’m convinced!”
Those barbarian great teachers were also clapping and sighing in admiration.
“Flowers can bloom again, but wasted youth would be lost forever! This is so well said!”
Wanyan Mei stood at the corner and repeated these words. It was like drinking fragrant alcohol, and it caused her to have an intoxicated look on her face.
The princess had long since arranged for people to wait here. They had to report to her immediately once they saw Sun Mo.
Hence, she had rushed over and coincidentally saw this scene.
“As expected, it isn’t a waste that I skipped classes to come and take a look.”
Wanyan Mei hated wasting time the most. But now, she sat down and wanted to look at Sun Mo for the entire day.
Meng Gang’s head was dotted with sweat. He couldn’t be bothered to wipe them as he directly knelt.
“Teacher, thank you for your guidance!”
After speaking, Meng Gang kowtowed and explained, “Teacher, you have misunderstood Qiu Li. Her elder brother was rejected by a great teacher who had wanted to take him in as a personal student after he got heavily injured.”
Meng Gang was very much in love with Qiu Li. As he spoke up for her, he also tugged her sleeves and hinted for her to hurry up and kneel.
Teacher Sun had manifested Priceless Advice and said a golden sentence. (If you still don’t thank him, wouldn’t you have a bad reputation for failing to appreciate somebody’s kindness?)
“Oh!”
For a pragmatic individual like Qiu Li, how would she reject kowtowing if the situation called for it? She was simply stunned.
(I was merely here to ask you for a pointer, yet you replied with golden sentences. Is there a need for it?)
“Meng Gang, I actually have one more piece of advice for you. But whether you want to listen to it or not, you can make the decision.”
Sun Mo placed his left hand behind his waist and stood with his chest puffed out, showing the bearing of a great teacher.
“Teacher, please guide me.”
Meng Gang kowtowed.
“Rather than using a longbow, you are more suitable to train in the spear arts. Forget about using great halberds, they are too heavy.”
Sun Mo smiled and took a step forward to knead Meng Gang’s shoulder blade.
“Eh!”
Meng Gang didn’t know what to do. After hearing this, he subconsciously glanced at Qiu Li.
(Fool, why are you looking at me? Just agree first!)
Qiu Li was speechless. If Meng Gang rejected Teacher Sun in such a scene, that would be like smacking Teacher Sun’s face. (You should just agree to give Teacher Sun some face first. It doesn’t matter if you don’t follow his advice in the future.)
“Many thanks, Teacher Sun for showing the right path.”
Qiu Li kowtowed.
But in her heart, she didn’t care about this advice at all. She really felt like asking Sun Mo if he knew Meng Gang’s background? Meng Gang’s father was a Jebe (general), a golden-veiled archer god with ten thousand soldiers under him.
On the grassy plains, only powerful archers would have the title Jebe. It was equivalent to an archer god in the Central Plains.
“Meng Gang, the Chasing Cloud Cultivation Art might be good, but it cannot fully display all your potential. Naturally, if you cannot find a saint-tier spear art, there’s no need for you to change your cultivation art.”
Sun Mo looked at Meng Gang with admiration in his eyes. (You are very outstanding, but your talent in archery is a hair inferior to Baiwu. Also, your talent in the spear is inferior to Xuanyuan Po.)
(But as long as you work hard enough, you still have a chance to surpass them.)
“Chasing Cloud Cultivation Art?”
Qiu Li frowned. What was he talking about? Meng Gang’s inherited ultimate art from his family was clearly the Shooting Sun Archery.
Meng Gang stared dumbfoundedly at Sun Mo. He was completely stunned.
In order to keep this a secret and prevent people from coveting it, his clan had always said that their inherited cultivation art was the Shooting Sun Archery, and they had never revealed the truth before.
Only the core descendants would know this secret, but how did Sun Mo know it?
Meng Gang was clueless. Other than a feeling of mystery in his heart, he now also felt a hint of reverence.
“Qiu Li, as humans, it’s better to have some perseverance!”
After Sun Mo spoke, he looked at Meng Gang. “She did this for you, so don’t let her down.”
Qiu Li had felt so awkward that she wanted to die when she heard Sun Mo’s words. But this sentence caused her to start. Her eyes then reddened as tears flowed.
She had silently given up a lot of things and put in a lot of effort for Meng Gang, but she had never mentioned them. This was because she didn’t want others to feel she wanted a reward simply because she put in the effort.
However, she also wanted others to understand that everything she did was for the good of Meng Gang.
After Sun Mo revealed this, she felt that this teacher was simply like an intimate friend of hers.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Qiu Li +500. Friendly (610/1,000).
Sun Mo smiled and ended his guidance. He walked toward the right tunnel from where one could enter the Giant Dragon Great Hall.
“Xianyu, fight against the draconic humans here.”
After Sun Mo instructed, someone called out.
“Teacher Sun, why don’t you try the unlimited challenge mode?”
