Chapter 66 - An Xinhui’s Praise (1/2)
“Interesting!”
Gao Ben stroked his chin before turning to leave. Sun Mo’s combat strength was ordinary, but his cultivation art seemed to be quite powerful. Nevertheless, he thought that Sun Mo was still far from sufficient to face him.
To Gao Ben, he basically didn’t have Sun Mo in his eyes. Liu Mubai was then his true opponent. As for Gu Xiuxun and Zhang Lan, they could only be considered half-opponents to him.
Right now, all of Gao Ben’s focus was placed on the first public lecture. He had to make his preparations and amaze everyone three days later.
Gu Xiuxun had planned to leave. But when she saw An Xinhui walking toward Sun Mo, she also came over.
“Well done.”
An Xinhui praised him with a smile in her eyes. Her voice had more gentleness and less pressure compared to before.
“Mn!”
Sun Mo casually responded. He didn’t feel abnormally happy after getting the praise from his fiance.
The people in the surroundings were slowly dispersing. But when those male teachers saw two great beauties standing beside Sun Mo, their eyes almost turned green from envy.
Luckily, Sun Mo could only eat one at most. No, maybe he couldn’t even eat any of them!
“Sun Mo, I know you are prideful. However, you shouldn’t clash head-on against Feng Zewen. No matter what, he is still a 1-star great teacher and is determined to make things difficult for you. You would suffer a disadvantage.”
Gu Xiuxun had a relatively good impression of Sun Mo. Hence, she tried to persuade him in passing. Sometimes, one had to learn when to retreat.
“If I don’t call out Feng Zewen, would Zhang Hanfu spare me?”
Sun Mo counter-asked.
Gu Xiuxun’s lips twitched. She silently mused ‘I’m warning you out of goodwill, what type of attitude is this?’ However, when she saw the look of praise on An Xinhui’s face, Gu Xiuxun’s expression immediately turned to one of shock.
“Did I miss something out?”
Gu Xiuxun pondered.
“I’m leaving!”
Sun Mo didn’t wish to waste time talking nonsense here. Thus, he waved his hands and turned to depart.
“Eh?”
Gu Xiuxun started. In the past, males would always find chances to get near her. Yet, this man actually ignored her to this extent? “Hmph, he must be playing mind games!”
An Xinhui had a puzzled look in her eyes. She found that she understood her childhood sweetheart lesser and lesser.
“Headmaster An, do you feel that he should clash against Feng Zewen?” Gu Xiuxun asked the question that was bewildering her.
“Yes.”
An Xinhui nodded.
Gu Xiuxun furrowed her brows. Ultimately, she was the honor graduate of the Myriad Daos Academy, and her intelligence wasn’t low. After thinking for a while, a look of understanding finally flashed on her face.
“I understand.”
Gu Xiuxun clapped her hands. “Sun Mo offended Zhang Hanfu. Hence, Zhang Hanfu will surely arrange for someone to find trouble for Sun Mo during the first public lecture. To Sun Mo, that’s an unknown enemy. He completely has no way to target the unknown opponent’s weakness and prepare his own defense. But after he provoked Feng Zewen and set an arrangement with him, it is clear who his opponent is.”
With Feng Zewen taking care of Sun Mo, Zhang Hanfu naturally wouldn’t find someone else to make trouble for Sun Mo. After all, the presence of a 1-star great teacher was enough to crush Sun Mo.
From Sun Mo’s point of view, Feng Zewen would surely be the one making things difficult for him. In that case, he could collect Feng Zewen’s information and understand his specialties until Sun Mo could launch his own ‘attacks’.
“That’s right!”
An Xinhui didn’t expect Sun Mo to have such intellect.
Ding!
Favorable impression from An Xinhui +1.
Prestige connection with An Xinhui: Neutral (4/100).
Gu Xiuxun glanced at Sun Mo’s departing back and no longer said anything. Her gaze was filled with shock. How could he calmly consider all of this when he provoked Zhang Hanfu? Wasn’t his endurance to pressure a little too strong?
An ordinary intern teacher would have been so frightened by Zhang Hanfu that their legs were trembling. Wrong, for ordinary intern teachers, even if they were full of guts, they would never dare to cross a vice-headmaster with such powerful authority.
Ding!
Favorable impression from Gu Xiuxun +3.
Prestige connection with Gu Xiuxun: Neutral (5/100).
Two systems notifications rang out continuously, causing Sun Mo to feel as though he had a windfall. However, just like with Yue Rongbo and Jin Mujie, it was truly very difficult to gain their admiration.
In truth, the more talented someone was, the more prideful they would be. If he wanted to gain their admiration and praise, he had to use his capabilities and give them a stunning performance.
…
Shade covered the school’s flagstone pathway.
Before Sun Mo, a golden book floated. With his will, the book flipped its pages automatically. Each of the pages was filled with robust yet beautiful and gentle words.
‘Shatter Soul Blade Art, average-grade mid-tier, fragmented’
‘Tongbei Long Fist, average-grade mid-tier, fragmented’
‘Bodhidharma Staff Art, average-grade mid-tier, fragmented’
Because Sun Mo’s Immemorial Vairocana was only at the elementary grade, he had to hit his target many times before a cultivation art could be revealed completely. Hence, all the arts he had now were fragmented.
“It’s useless even if they are the completed version!”
After glancing a few times at them, Sun Mo lost his interest. But then again after thinking about it, Zeng Jun was the descendant of an ordinary family, and he depended on his talent and hard work to reach his current point. If he had some powerful ultimate skills, he would have long since become famous.
