Chapter 58 (1/2)

“If I dare to acknowledge Teacher Sun as my teacher, would you dare to accept me?”

Tantai Yutang smiled in self-ridicule.

There were basic requirements that teachers had when recruiting students. Although no one could really assess a person’s aptitude, and they didn’t have information on the students’ background and experiences, they could do basic assessments from their bodies.

If students wished to cultivate, they’d need to at least reach the divine force realm. Not only would they need to have healthy bodies, but they also needed to be stronger than ordinary people. Otherwise, how would they be able to withstand the hardship of cultivation?

Tantai Yutang had a sickly constitution. He kept on coughing, occasionally even coughing hints of blood. It was as though he would fall if a strong gust of wind were to blow.

Given how weak he was, there’d be no teachers who would accept him as their disciple, unless they were blind.

“If you dare to acknowledge me, then I’ll dare to accept!”

Sun Mo replied then looked at this sickly person. All of his data immediately appeared next to him.

He hadn’t seen wrongly the other time. This person’s potential value was really stated as being extremely high.

He was of the same standards as Xuanyuan Po and Li Ziqi. During the three days of the student recruitment meet, Sun Mo had seen over 2,000 students. However, these three were the only students who had an ‘extremely high’ potential value.

At the same time, the system also stated to not treat him in the same manner as one would toward a child. Otherwise, you’d get it bad. This showed that although this young man looked harmless, he might secretly be a scheming person.

“Hmmm?” Tantai Yutang was stunned and he assessed Sun Mo. “You aren’t afraid that trash like me will become a blemish on your path as a great teacher?”

“I have the confidence of nurturing you into someone great.”

Sun Mo merely mentioned this in passing. He didn’t really care if he would be able to recruit Tantai Yutang successfully or not. It was because the system had said that this person was a time bomb, and it was advisable to stay far away from him.

Tantai Yutang was stunned, and he looked at Sun Mo in surprise. This handsome-looking intern teacher seemed to be more confident than he was!

To think that he would say something so narcissist? Who gave you the courage to do that?

However, Tantai Yutang felt a slight throb in his heart. The reason he came to the Central Province Academy this time around was because a great teacher whom he had been admiring for a long time was a guest professor here. Although he made use of some tricks and got to meet the teacher, the teacher didn’t take him in as his disciple.

The reason was because of his sickly constitution. What use would it be if he were to die young, even if he was a genius? Great teachers were very busy and didn’t lack disciples. Why would he have to waste his energy on Tantai Yutang?

“Haha!”

Tantai Yutang laughed in self-ridicule and decided to test out Sun Mo further. However, he was interrupted before he could say anything.

“Is there an end to this? I hate people who try to scheme against me the most. Aren’t you here to come under my tutelage? If you’re willing, then kneel down now. Otherwise, scram.”

Sun Mo felt displeased. (You want to test me? Who do you think you are?)

Tantai Yutang’s calm expression changed. He couldn’t help but feel surprised that Sun Mo had seen through him.

Tantai Yutang had seen the process in which Sun Mo had accepted Jiang Leng as his student, and it left a strong impression on him. Thereafter, he tried to find out about Sun Mo. The reason why he had come to the battle hall was so that he could check Sun Mo out. If Sun Mo met his expectations, then he’d ask to go under his tutelage.

This was a little awkward. Moreover, it seemed that this Sun Mo was a schemer as well. Why would people say that he was someone who sponged off a woman? It seemed that there must be a hidden story behind this.

“You’re so hesitant. Are you even a guy?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“Haha, Teacher Sun, you’re really different from others. But aren’t you afraid that I’ll bring you great trouble if you were to take me as your disciple?” Tantai Yutang asked.

Pa!

Sun Mo raised his hand and slapped Tantai Yutang’s face.

“Huh?”

Lu Zhiruo, who had been watching by the side, was shocked. Why did he suddenly raise his hands?

“I’m someone who hates to repeat what I said for a second time! Don’t test me any further!”

The reason why Sun Mo had done this wasn’t only because he was feeling a little angry. He was also trying to test Tantai Yutang. After all, he mustn’t ignore the system’s remark.

The students nearby heard the commotion and looked over.

Tantai Yutang, who had been hit, didn’t appear furious, violent, or ashamed. He only looked at Sun Mo with a hint of surprise.

Thereafter, he shook his head, knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully.

“Teacher Sun, please take me in as your disciple!”

Ding!

+1 favorable impression point from Tantai Yutang.

Prestige connection with Tantai Yutang initiated: Neutral (1/100)

Sun Mo’s gaze paused when he heard the system’s notification. (You didn’t contribute any favorable impression points when I saw through your scheme, but you showed a reaction after I gave you a slap. Are you a masochist?)

As expected of a student who was deemed to be a time bomb by the system. His reaction was too surprising.

What did those psychology books he had bought say?

There was a high chance that someone like him wasn’t mentally well.

“Teacher!”

Lu Zhiruo hid behind Sun Mo, tugging at his sleeve secretly. She covered her mouth with her hand and reminded him, “I feel that he’s very scary. It’s better to not take him in as a disciple.”

“Haha!”

Sun Mo laughed as well. (When I play games, I love to challenge the highest difficulty level. How can I possibly back off when a student is challenging me now?)

“Sun Mo, don’t go too far and end up failing miserably later!”

The system suddenly reminded him.

“Alright, after three kowtows, you’ll be my disciple.”

Sun Mo spoke up, not paying the system any heed.

“Teacher!”

Lu Zhiruo tugged at Sun Mo’s sleeves anxiously.
