AGT 1255 – The Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces!

The Central Province Academy already had Secondary Saint Shi. In addition to Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang, they had one saint and two secondary saints.

This lineup was definitely not inferior to those ‘A’ grade famous schools. They could even challenge the lineup of the Nine Greats.

When one reached the saint tier, they usually wouldn’t conduct classes except for a few public lectures every year. On the other hand, the secondary saints wouldn’t conduct any classes for several years because they were giving their all to strive to reach the saint tier.

However, things were different for Shi Sheng. In order to repay Sun Mo for his guidance, he would conduct many classes each year. That was why he had managed to pull in many outstanding students for the Central Province Academy.

Judging from Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang’s attitude, they were also prepared to give up their lives to repay Sun Mo’s kindness.

They didn’t have to conduct too many classes every year. As long as they could guarantee two classes a month, many great teachers would come because of their reputations, let alone the students.

‘The Central Province Academy had been doing quite well over the past four years.

Other than the first two years when they were still struggling to not drop grades, they were now firmly established amongst the ‘A’ grade schools.

Now that Sun Mo was back, things would be even more stable for the Central Province Academy.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected that the school that was on the verge of having their names removed from the famous school rankings eight years ago would be so strong now.”

Liang Hongda sized up Sun Mo, feeling amazed.

This person had really saved a famous school singlehandedly.

“Teacher Sun, now that you have reached 6-stars, do you want to strive for 7-stars?”

Liang Hongda teased.

“Lhaven’t comprehended Telepathic Understanding yet!”

Sun Mo shook his head.

“Huh?”

Liang Hongda was stunned. He was just joking around when he said this and hadn’t expected Sun Mo to reply. From what Sun Mo said, it seemed like this was the only condition that hadn’t been met?

‘That was impossible!

If that was the case, how strong was Sun Mo?

Hence, Liang Hongda forced a smile and lowered his voice to ask softly. “Teacher Sun, have you fulfilled all the other conditions?”

“En!

Sun Mo nodded very naturally.

He wasn’t trying to act cool but was trying to prove to Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang that he was a strong person who was worthy of their support.

Sure enough, Liang Hongda wasn’t the only one who was stunned. Saint Yang and Secondary Saint Hu also looked over and their eyes were almost popping out.

‘They knew that Sun Mo was outstanding, but to be honest, they didn’t expect him to be so amazing.

The higher the star-level of a great teacher, the harder it was to advance to the next tier. At the level of a 7-stars great teacher, one would need to accumulate experience and strength for a very long time.

After taking everything into consideration, Sun Mo had only been a great teacher for eight years. In truth, to have reached 6-stars was already an unprecedented legend.

In order to advance to 7-stars, one would have to comprehend 21 great teacher halos, also commonly known as double figures.

Out of which, one of them must be Telepathic Understanding, and many great teachers would be stuck at this threshold for several decades.

Even when one had enough halos, they’d still need two ancestor-level secondary occupations. In the great teacher world, the statistics showed that the average age for great teachers to cross this threshold was 150 years old.

This was just the appetizer!

Next, one of the great teacher’s personal disciples needed to obtain a publicly acknowledged honor.

For example, to get into the top 100 of the Hero Rankings, their disciples also became great teachers, unearthing outstanding students, or having made some kind of academic contributions.

The job of great teachers was essentially to teach and educate people. Therefore, this was a necessity.

Lastly, not only did the great teachers themselves have to obtain two ancestor titles, but they also had to produce results in a certain academic field to prove that they weren’t good-for-nothings who could only take examinations.

From these rigid requirements, one could tell that there was a huge gap from 6-stars to 7-stars. Many great teachers would spend their entire lives trying to achieve this.

Any 7-stars great teacher would be considered a scholar-tyrant in the Nine Greats. They would have a large group of students under them.

“Teacher Sun, other than the study of spirit runes, what other secondary occupations do you have at the ancestor level?”

Liang Hongda was curious.

“Weaponsmithing!”

Sun Mo smiled. This was his biggest gain from going to the Prison of Desolation. “When will there be an examination? I’ll go get myself a certification!”

Liang Hongda didn’t know what to say. Look at how confident he was, not thinking of the possibility of failing at all.

“What achievements do your disciples have?”

Yang Shizhan was curious.

“Sun Mo’s eldest disciple is the Great Tang’s princess, Li Zigi. She came out on top in the Five Empires War Discussion. At the same time, she has also broken the record for the youngest 1-star great teacher in the great teacher world.”

Hu Xingjiang interrupted.

Yang Shizhan was astonished and could not help but praise. “You’re very good at teaching students!”

“If I tell you that Li Zigi was once regarded as trash by Secondary Saint Zhou and was rejected to be taken in as his disciple, what would you think?”

Hu Xingjiang chuckled. To be honest, it was very rare for a secondary saint to end up being put through humiliation.

Yang Shizhan was stunned.

“Teacher Sun, can you tell me what academic achievements you’ve made?”

Liang Hongda tried to probe.

Sun Mo shook his head and did not say anything.

Not long after, Su Taiqing’s assistant came and invited Sun Mo and the other two to the office.

The conversation was very ordinary. The Sect Lord encouraged Sun Mo to bring honor to the great teacher world and pay attention to his words and actions, making him a representative figure. He then congratulated Yang Shizhan and chatted casually with Hu Xingjiang.

After the conversation ended, Su Taiging suddenly spoke up and had Sun Mo stay behind.

“How much did you learn in that laboratory?”

Su Taiqing gave Sun Mo a fresh cup of tea.

“Alot!”

Sun Mo had some questions, but he didn’t ask them.

It looked like the real reason Su Taiqing arranged this examination was to let him come into contact with Huang Tian’s experiments and not for the examination itself.

“Don’t you want to ask me why I didn’t stop those people when I knew they were conducting experiments on forbidden arts?”

Su Taiqing laughed self-mockingly. “It’s because Huang Tian’s experiments concern the fate of the Nine Provinces!”

“This topic is a little heavy.”

Sun Mo made a small joke.

“I know you’re outstanding, so Huang Tian would definitely allow you to join the experiment. The truth has proven that I didn’t make a wrong judgment.”

Su Taiqing sat opposite Sun Mo and said in a serious tone, “Teacher Sun, work hard and run forth. Bring us light!”

“Sect Lord, can we not beat about the bush?”

Sun Mo wanted to say, (Could you speak in human language?)

“I want to tell you everything too, but there are many things that I can’t say!”

Even though it was just this sentence, Su Taiqing was unable to say it out loud. He first looked at Sun Mo and then at the sky through the window.

In the end, Sun Mo left the office in confusion.

Liang Hongda was waiting at the entrance and insisted on treating Sun Mo, Yang Shizhan, and Hu Xingjiang to a meal.

“are you in a hurry to see Ziqi and the others?”

Liang Hongda smiled when he heard Sun Mo’s words. “Then all the more you should have a meal with me. It’s because even if you return to school now, you won’t be able to see them.”

“What do you mean?”

Sun Mo frowned. Could something have happened?

“The Skyraise Academy has taken the lead, together with the other Nine Greats, to come to the decision last summer that they’ll be holding a The Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces.”

Liang Hongda explained. “Young people under the age of 30 can participate, and it has started. Your disciples are the hot favorites for the championship.”

“The Nine Greats still like to do such things!”

jiang pursed his lips in disdain.

The reason why famous schools were known as famous schools was not that the great teachers were good, but because they could teach outstanding students. Then how could they prove that their students were outstanding enough?

Naturally, it was to hold such a national competition. Winning the championship was more convincing than any advertisement.

After having the meal with Liang Hongda and obtaining the approval of Yang Shizhan and Hu Xingjiang, Sun Mo didn’t return to Jinling. Instead, he sat on Little Silver and headed to Anjing City.

The Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces was held in this cultural history of 1,000 years.

It was early morning by the time Sun Mo arrived. However, the streets were already packed, and the cries of peddlers lingered on.

If too many people were gathered, the viewing experience would be greatly reduced. Therefore, the judges had set up an arena in each of the public squares by the north, south, east, and west city gates respectively.

The preliminaries were carried out separately on these four arenas. Moreover, all the seeded participants were rationally separated, ensuring that each arena would have a few rounds of exciting matches.

But even so, the eastern arena was still packed with people. This was because they had heard that Sun Mo’s personal disciples were all here.

Sun Mo’s reputation had spread crazily after Li Ziqi became the champion of the Five Empires War Discussion.

Although his reputation wasn’t that resounding in the past four years as he had been participating in the 6-stars great teacher examination, Li Ziqi, being the youngest emperor in the Nine Provinces in addition to being a beautiful young lady, was naturally a hot topic of discussion. As such, Sun Mo was

also frequently mentioned, and he didn’t fade out of the public’s eyes.

In the past few years that Li Zigi had ascended to the throne, she had done a few great things. She had deducted many taxes, cut down on forced labor, and distributed free seeds nurtured by the Central Province Academy to increase the yield of fields.

At the same time, she started agriculture schools and used official positions as temptations, enticing more students to learn agriculture-related subjects instead of being obsessed with subjects like alchemy and weaponsmithing.

To put it bluntly, many students chose occupations not only because of their preferences but also because they wanted to see if they could earn money from related jobs in the future.

Li Zigi offered a lot of financial subsidies in this area.

In the imperial court, although some of Li Ziqi’s policies had affected the interests of many officials, they were still implemented because of the support of two major characters—Li Xiu and Zheng Qingfang.

Although Li Zigi was only 20 years old this year, many people already called her a wise ruler. She was showing signs of starting a prosperous era in the Great Tang.

However, Li Zigi did not claim any credit. On some occasions, she even publicly expressed that all her political schemes were taught to her by her teacher.

Food was everything for the people, and agriculture was everything for the country.

Therefore, the Great Tang was going to focus on developing agriculture.

Actually, they should be working on developing industrialization. However, Li Ziqi knew that with the current productivity level, it was impossible to focus on that. She was in no hurry. She was still young and had plenty of time to do it.

It was all thanks to her teacher that Li Zigi knew what to do about the future and didn’t have to probe blindly in the dark as she advanced forward.

Although there was a lot of political work to do and Li Ziqi was very busy every day, she still came for The Number One Hero Battle of the Nine Provinces. She didn’t come to participate in the battle herself but acted as the team leader, holding the line for her junior martial siblings.

(After all, this competition concerns my teacher’s reputation. We, the students under Teacher, will take all of the top three positions!)
