Chapter 1262: Winning All the Way, the Target Is the Championship

Translator: Lordbluefire

After understanding Sun Mo’s capabilities, Saint Yang and Secondary Saint Hu were both completely dumbstruck.

Sun Mo was only 28 years old. If he could obtain the title of 8-stars great teacher, he would create a brand new record, something unprecedented in the past and impossible to match in the future.

“Other great teachers might reach 5-stars when they are 50 years old and could already be considered a genius. But you are so excellent to the point where the word ‘genius’ can no longer be used to describe you.”

Yang Shizhan felt incomparably envious. Although he was a saint now, he was already over 600 years old. At most, he only had 300 years left.

It might seem long, but it was not enough for him to carry out some grand ambitions.

Sun Mo was different. Even if he became a saint at 100 years old, given his aptitude, he would probably be able to live until 1,000. With around 900 years left, he could start ‘a war of attrition’. When the other older saints died, he would become the number one saint in the Nine Provinces!

How glorious would that be?

jiang didn’t have random thoughts like this. In his heart, only admiration was left.
Sun Mo chortled, not caring for these titles.

“After the Hero Battle ends, I will go and take the test to get the ancestor-level weaponsmith’s license. After that, I will do my best to create the spirit particle calculator as quickly as possible.”

Sun Mo looked at the little sunny egg, “Ziqi, come and assist me then!”

Mn!”

Li Zigi wanted nothing more than this.

After confirming that he would be able to become a 7-stars, Sun Mo decided to take a small break and laze around. He only taught a lesson each during the morning and at night for his students. After that, he spent the rest of his time watching the competition.

Actually, Sun Mo wanted to visit the brothels, but Lu Zhiruo was like a little puppy that kept following him around. He couldn’t find any excuse to move alone.

“Things are troublesome then!”

Sun Mo was depressed. He couldn’t possibly bring a female disciple with him when he went to tour those brothels, right?

His reputation would surely be tarnished then.

Luckily, all fights in the Hero Battle were very fascinating to watch, and this helped to ‘mend’ Sun Mo’s spirit.

The top 64 battle this year was divided into the upper and lower division with 32 pax each. The 32 pax were further separated into four groups, and these people would fight one-on-one battles. Winners in the same group would fight again until the number one ranker in each group appeared.

The judging panel arranged the competition like this not because they wanted to show extra care to Sun Mo’s students. Instead, they wanted to be impartial.

In the morning where there was bright sunlight, a fierce battle was currently unfolding on the platform placed at the central public square in the city.
Xuanyuan Po was clad in white and wielding his silver spear. His moves were sharp and graceful, causing cheers to ring out from the audience below.

‘When audiences watched battles, they loved combatants who emphasized attacking the most because it would be explosive, hot-blooded, and gorgeous. For those who preferred to cower like a tortoise and focused on defense, even if they won, they would be booed.
Xuanyuan’s long spear was like a dragon that traversed through the clouds and rain. He was expressionless, like an emotionless robot. Each of his spear attacks had reached extreme perfection.

Finally, his opponent could no longer endure such fierce attacks and a flaw appeared in his defense. The combat addict immediately grabbed hold of it and unleashed a wave of magnificent attacks.

His opponent was no match for him. Hence, he retreated and lengthened the distance between him and Xuanyuan Po to over ten meters. Just when he thought he would be safe temporarily and could catch his breath, Xuanyuan Po’s ultimate attack arrived.
A Thousand Miles To Invite The Moon!

Swish~

The silver spear shot forth like a shooting star arcing through the night sky and pierced into his opponent’s chest. The huge impact blasted his opponent off the platform.

Xuanyuan Po then gestured with his right hand, and his silver spear was seemingly dragged back by an invisible hand. It flew back into his grasp.

“Thanks for letting me win!”

After Xuanyuan Po bowed, he leaped down the stage and didn’t wait for the judge to announce he was the victor.

Truthfully speaking, he had no interest in these rules and only wanted to fight. If it wasn’t for the fact that the judges didn’t allow it, he really wanted to stand on the platform and continue challenging people.
Very soon, it was Xianyu Wei’s turn.

“Junior Martial Sister, I’m cheering for you!”

Tantai Yutang encouraged.

The naive plains girl was very popular among her fellow martial siblings. Everyone didn’t look down on her just because she was a barbarian.

“Mn!”

Xianyu Wei jumped onto the stage.

Her opponent was a tall and muscular youth whose weapons were a pair of hammers that were as big as watermelons that weighed over 50 kg each.

“Little lady, where’s your weapon?”

The muscular dude sniffed. He frowned a little when he saw Xianyu Wei barehanded.

“| don’t use weapons!”

Xianyu Wei showed her fists to him and clenched them. “I train in fist arts!”

Niu Gao gulped down a mouthful of saliva and persuaded kindly, “Can you really fight or not? Why don’t you give up? I’m afraid I might smash you to death with my hammers!”

The audience beneath the stage also started whispering to each other.

In truth, the disparity between the statures of these two was too great. The youth named Niu Gao was even more muscular than an ox.

“Little lady, I can eat 10 kg of beef every meal. You can’t win against me!”

Niu Gao was still persuading her.

“Many thanks, but my teacher is down there watching me. I can die but I cannot lose!”

Xianyu Wei’s expression was solemn.

“Why is her teacher so ruthless? Isn’t he a little too overly-focused on fame?”

“Yeah, he actually sent such a beautiful girl up to be slaughtered. What a lousy person he must be.”

“Shh, do you guys not want to live anymore? Her personal teacher is Sun Mo, the all-famous God Hands, a grand ancestor-level spirit runist!”

In the audience, some of them clearly had just arrived and weren’t familiar with Xianyu Wei’s background. After hearing the explanation, their countenances immediately changed.

Sun Mo was none other than the personal teacher of the female emperor of Great Tang, Li Ziqi. He couldn’t be scolded casually. Sun Mo might not mind, but Li Ziqi would surely care about this. What if they accidentally stirred up trouble for themselves?
The eyes of some officials and wealthy people brightened when they heard Xianyu Wei saying that Sun Mo had come. They were preparing to pay him a visit with expensive gifts after the competition today ended.
It would be for the best if they could get him to accept their children as disciples.

“Alright, I’ll do my best not to kill you!”

Niu Gao looked like he was thinking for Xianyu Wei, but when the judge shouted for the battle to begin, he directly charged forward like a barbarian, lunging toward Xianyu Wei.

“GO TO HELL!”

Niu Gao lifted his hammers and smashed them down, aiming to smash Xianyu Wei’s head.

As long as he entered the top ten, there would be huge rewards. So, all of Niu Gao’s words and actions earlier were done in order to beguile his opponent.

Unbreakable Vajra!

A golden aura appeared on Xianyu Wei’s glabella. After that, it rapidly covered her entire body and made her seem like a little golden person.

After that, the plains girl punched out.

Bang!

The golden fists and battle hammers clashed together, emitting a thunderous ear-splitting sound. After that, the hammers got blasted out of Niu Gao’s hands from the impact.

“Dodge quickly!”

Seeing the hammers flying out, the crowd quickly scattered in a panic.

Mn?”

Niu Gao was stunned. (Where are my hammers?)

Hu!

Xianyu Wei’s heavy punch emitted booming sounds as it arced through the air.

“I forfeit!”

Niu Gao shouted loudly and raised his hands.

Hu~

The golden fist stopped before Niu Gao’s face. The gust of wind created by the fist caused Niu Gao’s face to feel pain.

“My heavens, what monstrous strength does that girl have? Luckily, I conceded in time. If I was struck by her punch, my brains would surely be scattered through the platform.”

Niu Gao discovered that his pants were now somewhat wet..
