Chapter 868 - Headhunting Sun Mo? Do You Think That I Don’t Exist?

Translator: Lordbluefire 

“Come on!”

Xianyu Wei punched her fists together and felt eager to fight. The victory earlier gave her confidence. She felt she could win one against three.

“This idiot is truly lucky. I wonder how she gained Teacher Sun’s recognition?”

Gao Wa cursed out loud. After that, she retreated warily. She wanted to say something ruthless, but when her gaze matched Xianyu Wei’s, she felt a little timid.

“Let’s leave!”

Gao Wa and the other two retreated.

“They actually left?”

Xianyu Wei was astonished. She was still preparing for a long fight. After that, she started to feel conflicted. (Should I chase after them or let them go?)

(Sigh!)

(Teacher has never taught me how to handle such a situation!)

Ultimately, Xianyu Wei didn’t chase after them.

Because she had never won against anyone before, she had no confidence.

“I also don’t know what Teacher is doing.”

Although she had left Sun Mo’s side for two hours only, Xianyu Wei already started to miss him.

Very soon, Gao Wa and Nuo Min’s teams vanished from her vision.

Xianyu Wei’s lips twitched. She felt a little hard to believe this.

“I actually won against Nuo Min?”

Xianyu Wei recalled her sparring experiences a year ago. She had been utterly crushed by Nuo Min but she won with a single punch now…

(I’m actually already so powerful? I don’t even notice it!)

Xianyu Wei shook her head. A smile involuntarily appeared between her brows. After that, she clenched her fist and waved it violently.

(Teacher Sun is awesome! I will follow you for sure in the future!)

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Xianyu Wei +1,000. Reverence (12,500/100,000).

Xianyu Wei’s original goal was to do her best to avoid all students and focus on hunting small animals to accumulate points. But now, she decided to take the initiative to hunt students who had some harvests.

The judging panel had allocated points to each type of animal. The stronger the ferocious beast, the more points it would be worth. Also, the points for the white deer released by vice headmaster Murong was the highest.

Why was it a white deer?

Because it had the hidden meaning of seizing the throne. It was a good omen for the students to hunt it, to claim the throne to the championship.



At the campsite, the intense battles continued.

“Damn, aren’t the students now a little too scheming? All of them know how to pretend to be pigs to eat the tiger.”

Tuoba Cong fought his opponent while grumbling depressedly.

He thought he had chosen a freebie to fight. In the end, he didn’t expect that his opponent was a fierce goose and once he erupted forth, he fought very brilliantly.

“You are still in time if you want to admit defeat now.”

Gaerdi coaxed.

“I really wish to do so!”

Tuoba Cong wanted to cry but no tears were coming out. Usually, he would choose to give up. But this time around, he had made a bet with Sun Mo. if he could enter the ranks of the top hundred, he would be able to gain a free heaven-tier cultivation art.

For a great teacher like Sun Mo, since he promised, he would surely deliver. Besides, Tuoba Cong even had a voice-recording stone. He didn’t need to fear Sun Mo going back on his words.

But who would have known that he would encounter such a difficult opponent in the first round?

“My luck is truly shit.”

Tuoba Cong felt helpless. He suddenly lowered his voice. “Why don’t you give up? I will pay you!”

“Are you insulting me?”

Gaerdi frowned and he attacked even fiercer. (What does money count as? What I want is a good ranking so more great teachers can notice my talent, admire me, and recruit me.)

“Tuoba Cong, can you not play minor tricks like this?”

Upon hearing these words, the skin on Tuoba Cong’s back tightened. He turned his head and saw Sun Mo standing not far away, looking at him.

“Teacher Sun?”

When Gaerdi saw Sun Mo, his spirits stirred and he attacked even more ferociously, wanting to perform.

“Damn. Teacher Sun, please don’t harm me!”

Tuoba Cong felt depressed and frustrated.

Recently, when the students saw Sun Mo, they would immediately crowd over. If Sun Mo offered someone pointers, they also wanted to hear as they might be able to learn a thing or two.

The fight continued.

“Teacher Sun? I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”

Beardie laughed loudly and hurried over.

“Is something the matter?”

Sun Mo nodded in greeting.

“To give you a white star!”

Beardie’s attitude was very friendly. He took out a wooden box and opened it, revealing a white star within that Sun Mo could fasten on his chest.

“Wow, Teacher Sun has obtained a white star!”

“Are you not talking nonsense?”

“Yeah, how much are you underestimating Teacher Sun? I feel that he can at least obtain seven white stars. There’s no problem for him to be employed as an official teacher of our school.”

“You should speak more boldly. He is someone that has broken the record. If he cannot get 14 white stars, I will treat you to lunch for a year.”

The students mumbled and felt more confident in Sun Mo than Sun Mo felt for himself.

The current Sun Mo already had a lot of prestige in the hearts of the students. The only thing that was a pity was his looks were too ordinary. If not, he would have long since become a celebrity teacher.

“Congratulations!”

Mei Ziyu felt even happier compared to herself getting a white star.

“Eh? Will I be too high profile if I wear it?”

Sun Mo was a low-profile person and would never brag despite getting an award. Hence, he didn’t feel like putting the white star on his chest.

But the style of the white star was truly not bad.

It was in the shape of a thumb-size giant condor spreading its wings. The word ‘teacher’ was engraved on its chest, and it looked extremely life-like.

“Everyone would put the white stars on their chest.”

Beardie laughed and patted Sun Mo’s shoulders. “We, people of the plains, wouldn’t veil our capabilities. We will just show it openly if we are outstanding.

“By wearing the star on your chest, it will only benefit you. The number of students taking the initiative to consult you will also increase.”

Duanmu Li explained.

White stars were like advertisements. They represented capability and the recognition of the school toward a teacher.

“Teacher Sun, do you want to challenge the white stars record?”

Beardie teased.

“Nope!”

Sun Mo shook his head. It was too tiring, so just let things flow according to their natural course. He saw that the Beardie was hesitating to say something, hence, Sun Mo asked, “There’s no need to stand on ceremony. You can say whatever you want directly.”

“Has Headmaster Murong looked for you?”

Beardie lowered his voice.

Sun Mo started but he soon recovered. Beardie was referring to the matter of Sun Mo being headhunted.

“Have you agreed?”

Beardie asked.

Sun Mo chortled.

“Are the conditions he offered not good enough?”

Beardie frowned and had an unhappy look on his face. He was clearly not happy with Murong Ye. Sun Mo was such an outstanding rising star that was rare to come by even in a hundred years. Since the school had encountered such a talent, what was Murong Ye thinking about instead of quickly headhunting him?

If they missed out on him, they would regret it forever. (The influence of our Dragon Subduing Academy will also suffer some damage.)

“They are very good.”

Sun Mo shrugged and revealed a helpless expression. “The problem lies with me.”

“Teacher Sun, if you teach in our Dragon Subduing Academy, we will definitely not make you suffer any losses. You can go and do a check. The salaries we offered to teachers from the Central Plains are extremely high.”

Beardie persuaded.

“It’s not a question of money.”

Sun Mo mentally mused. (Do I look like I lack money? I have a spirit mine that I haven’t excavated completely, alright? Even if I did, I still have the spirit qi roaming dragon that can continue to search for more mines. And I can also sell Little Silver. My wealth would be overflowing then.)

“Teacher Sun, don’t mind this. I have no qualifications to headhunt you, but I really don’t wish to lose you!”

Beardie explained first before stating, “Or do you feel that because we are of a different race, we would discriminate against you? That won’t happen. After you stay here for a bit, you will know how passionate and hospitable the girls from the plains are!”

Duanmu Li couldn’t help but glance at Beardie. (Your words are so corny. Why do I remember that you were a racist before this? You would show no mercy and fire those great teachers of the Central Plains whom you feel weren’t good enough.)

Mei Ziyu had always been an amiable person, but at this moment, her gaze when looking at Beardie was like seeing an enemy who was snatching her food. She wanted nothing more than to crush his head with a single punch.

(Headhunting Sun Mo in front of me, do you think I don’t exist? Even if someone could headhunt him away, it wouldn’t be your Worm Subduing Academy’s turn. My Jixia Learning Palace is number one in the queue, alright?!)

“You were responsible for receiving us, examinees. Could it be that you didn’t investigate my identity before this?”

Sun Mo also lowered his voice.

Honestly speaking, the other party was showing such magnificent hospitality that Sun Mo felt a little embarrassed to reject it.

“I know. This is why I feel that our Dragon Subduing Academy needs you even more. Sigh, Murong Ye is really trash. He can’t even manage to headhunt a person.”

Beardie was anxious.

“…”

Sun Mo was speechless. (Is it really okay for you to say such things about your vice headmaster?)

“Teacher Sun. Please consider our school. You will definitely be able to release your radiance here.”

Beardie sincerely pleaded, pressing his palms together.

“What the hell? Why is Beardie lowering his attitude so much?”

As someone who loved collecting information, Tuoba Cong subconsciously glanced at Sun Mo. When he saw Sun Mo having a white star so early, he was somewhat stunned. But after that, he was completely dumbfounded.

Beardie was the head of the year and was well known to be extremely strict. However, he now lowered his stance and attitude so much when speaking to an intern teacher.

(Don’t you want face?)

The other students were stunned as well. But they were soon at ease. Given Teacher Sun’s talent, he did deserve such preferential treatment.

“What are you looking at? Can you be more focused? You are going to lose.”

Sun Mo berated.

“Don’t worry, things are very stable.”

Tuoba Cong chortled.

Upon hearing this, Gaerdi grew unhappy and decided to go all out.

The intensity of the fight instantly went up another gear.

“Damn, I’ve really misjudged. I thought he was a salted fish, but he turned out to be a fierce dragon.”

Tuoba Cong felt depressed and could only block the attacks.

Three minutes later, the combat ended with two bangs.

Gaerdi’s head was kicked and he fainted on the ground. As for Tuoba Cong, he didn’t feel joy at all because his right wrist was broken by his opponent.

“My heaven-tier cultivation art!”

Tuoba Cong angrily slapped himself.

“Tuoba Cong. You should have been able to win this fight in a relaxed manner. Do you know why you suffered so badly before winning?”

Sun Mo spoke and the surrounding students immediately fell silent.

“Teacher, you are regarding me too highly. That fellow is very impressive.”

Tuoba Cong wanted to spit a mouthful of saliva at his opponent. (Causing me to lose a top-tier cultivation art, you ought to die.)

“His strength isn’t even half of yours. If you didn’t have the habit of constantly thinking about the cost-performance ratio, you would have won very easily.”

Sun Mo explained.

“You always want to use the lowest price to have the greatest result. This led to you being not decisive when doing things. When you discovered his strength was stronger than what you expected, you should have erupted forth with all your might and won immediately instead of holding some strength in reserve. You wanted to pretend to be weak so your other opponents might make mistakes and you can catch them by surprise.”

“Eh? This really seemed to be the case!”

Tuoba Cong frowned and started to contemplate.

And at this moment, Xiao Ri`nan who had just won a match sank into great trouble.
