Chapter 303 His Battle Prowess Was This Strong?
In the victory dojo’s arena, both Sun Mo and Ma Sui were standing 30 meters apart from each other.
The spectator stand was already filled with several hundred students, and more of them were coming
“If I win, please give up the spot to me. If I lose, this body-refinement pill will be yours!”
Sun Mo had agreed to a duel, but Ma Sui continued to offer his bargaining chip. He felt that this was only fair. “Teacher Ma, there’s no need to do this.”
Sun Mo frowned slightly.
“Teacher Sun, there’s no need to say anymore. My mind is made up!”
After saying that, Ma Sui stopped with the crap talk. He held onto his longspear and assumed a starting stance. “Ma Sui, sixth level of the blood-ignition realm. Please give me your guidance!”
Hearing this cultivation level, the students on the spectators stand immediately let out loud gasps.
Ma Sui had only been a teacher for two years and was only 23 years old this year, yet he had already reached this level, proving his outstanding aptitude.
Teachers needed to study incessantly to enrich themselves so that they could teach well and get higher great teacher titles. Therefore, they had a lot less cultivation time compared to pure cultivators.
In the official data announced by the Saint Gate, as long as a great teacher reached the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm before 30 years old and entered the divine force realm, they’d be a qualified great teacher.
This was why the current Ma Sui brought great astonishment to the students.
Some students who liked Sun Mo started to worry for him.
Sun Mo wasn’t surprised. Even without using the Divine Sight, he could guess that Ma Sui’s standard was very high since he could become a representative to lead the new student group.
Ma Sui, 23 years old, sixth level of the blood-ignition realm. Strength 29. Specialty. Possessing the strength like the Hegemon-King lifting the ding (1). Intellect 26. Average level. Sufficient. Agility 27. Sufficient to deal with most situations.
Endurance 28. Outstanding.
Will 23. The failure from one year ago had cast a shadow in his heart that has lasted until today.
He excels in the Coiling Dragon Spear Art, a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. Judging from his proficiency index, he is of the expert-grade or higher and is near to the grandmaster-grade!
High potential value!
Note: Very hardworking. Sleeps only three hours daily. His degree of hard work can rank him in the top five in the Central Province Academy!
“He didn’t die from sudden death despite this?”
After seeing Ma Sui’s data, Sun Mo was a little shocked.
“Cultivators’ physical attributes are greater than you think. Moreover, he also takes medicine that recovers energy.”
The system explained.
Sun Mo continued to browse through Ma Sui’s data and then frowned. His brows were furrowed so tightly together that they could crush a crab to death.
“Teacher Sun?”
Ma Sui called out.
The spectator stand broke into a commotion because Sun Mo didn’t follow the rules of a duel and greet back to show his respect toward Ma Sui.
Sun Mo was definitely not such a rude person. This meant that there must be some problem. Therefore, some students started to worry for him.
Ding!
Congratulations, you’ve received 612 favorable impression points from the students.
“Hmm? What is it this time?”
Sun Mo was surprised. “When the students admire and revere you, they’ll also produce favorable impression points when they feel worried for you!”
The system explained. “Haha!” Sun Mo laughed, having a satisfied feeling of having been recognized. He then cupped his fists together. “Sun Mo, sixth level of the blood-ignition realm. Please give me your guidance!”
Hua!
Sun Mo’s words had just ended when all the students took in a gasp of cold air. They did it with such a strong vigor that it felt as if the entire victory dojo was going to have all its air drawn out into a vacuum state. “What level of the blood-ignition realm did Teacher Sun say he is at?”
“Sixth level? I didn’t hear that wrongly, did I?”
“F*ck your mom, how old is Teacher Sun? 20 years old? Is he leaving any hope for others to live?”
“Hey, mind your words. Whose mom are you going to f*ck?”
The students broke into a commotion, but when they heard a guy cursing out, they immediately glared at him, having a strong urge to bash him up.
“Uhh, don’t misunderstand. It’s just a slip of my mouth!”
The guy who was stared at quickly clarified himself. “I’m also Teacher Sun’s fan, a strong fan!”
As he was too nervous, his voice broke. Ma Sui, who was in the arena, had a hint of astonishment on his face after hearing Sun Mo’s cultivation level. His expression then turned into a solemn one.
DS A
To speak the truth, Ma Sui was very proud of his cultivation level. This was especially after he had settled down for the past one year. He felt that amongst people of the same age, he was definitely one of the tops, both in terms of his battle prowess and cultivation level. But he was dealt a blow today.
Sun Mo was two years younger than he was!
A hint of disappointment flashed in Ma Sui’s heart, but he quickly got himself back up together. (There are definitely geniuses who are more amazing than I am in this world. I can be envious, but there’s no need to be disappointed. It’s because I can rely on my own hard work to eventually surpass them!)
Ma Sui’s gaze started to light up as he felt anticipation for this battle. After all, defeating a genius was a lot more interesting than crushing a nobody. “Can we start?” Ma Sui asked.
“Anytime!”
Sun Mo drew out his wooden blade.
Ma Sui threw a glance at the wooden blade, not feeling the Sun Mo was underestimating him for using a weapon like this. It was because geniuses were terrifying no matter what weapon they used!
At the next instant, Ma Sui exerted force in both his legs, shooting out toward Sun Mo like a cannonball.
Ma Sui had joined the school two years earlier than Sun Mo did. As a senior, he should have let the junior attack first. However, after hearing Sun Mo’s cultivation level, he dismissed this thought and treated Sun Mo as he would someone of equal standing.
“You’re a genius, but I won’t lose either!”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Ma Sui +50. Friendly (280/1,000).
Sun Mo was stunned for a moment to be suddenly receiving favorable impression points. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent with such a character.
Swoosh!
Ma Sui’s longspear pierced out with an extremely high speed.
Sun Mo tilted his head, backed off, and put up a block with his wooden blade.
Clank!
Amidst the crisp colliding sound, Ma Sui gained momentum and immediately launched a series of quick attacks. He wanted to suppress Sun Mo in one go, forcing him to reveal his shortcomings.
Sun Mo immediately used level three of the Grand Universe Formless Divine Art, Copy.
The entire world immediately slowed down. It wasn’t just Ma Sui’s attacks but also the dust that splattered up after his shoes stepped on the ground. The entire victory dojo was instantly silent.
As expected of a battle between genius teachers. One of them attacked with a gushing flow, with a strong sense of exhilaration, and the other defended strongly, sturdy as a boulder.
The spectators couldn’t turn their eyes away. Two senior students even ran up to the first row, took out their image recording stones, and recorded the entire process.
The image recording stone was a mysterious ore produced in the Darkness Continent. After one channeled their spirit qi in to activate it, the stone could be used to record the scenes. However, the duration of the recording would be dependent on the stone’s quality.
Such ores were rare, thus their price was a little expensive. One that was the size of an egg would sell for at least 50 spirit stones. Therefore, only a few people would use it unless it was an important duel.
“Why isn’t Teacher Sun attacking?”
Some students were baffled.
“Maybe he is being suppressed too viciously?”
After all, Ma Sui’s attacks looked very terrifying
“Teacher Ma, speed isn’t your forte. Bring out your power moves!”
Sun Mo advised.
Sun Mo didn’t attack because he wished to see Ma Sui’s Coiling Dragon Spear Art. After all, this was a clan cultivation art, and only a few outsiders would know of it.
Hearing this, Ma Sui’s countenance changed. Sun Mo was able to see through him so quickly?
This was a battle tactic that Ma Sui liked to use. He would first launch quick attacks to deceive the enemies, letting them misunderstand that he was a speed-type opponent, and then he would suddenly change his moves and display his strength to completely crush them, catching them unaware.
“Teacher Sun is really capable. Then take this move from me!”
Ma Sui let out an explosive bellow.
Coiling Dragon Overturn!
The longspear that pierced out rapidly immediately started to spin when it touched Sun Mo’s wooden blade. Not only did it flick away the wooden blade, but its speed also spiked up and it pierced out toward Sun Mo’s heart.
Sun Mo clenched his left hand into a fist and smashed onto it.
Bang!
The longspear was deflected away.
“What great strength!”
Ma Sui was a little surprised. Strength was his bread and butter, but it seemed that Sun Mo was just as strong, considering that he could throw off Ma Sui’s attack that was launched at almost full power.
The deflected longspear suddenly stopped moving and then spun back. Coiling Dragon Tailwhip!
Hu!
The longspear had a sharp and imposing momentum, instantly covered in a layer of spirit qi. If one was struck by it, they’d be lashed into mush.
Sun Mo’s gaze turned solemn and he twisted his body, swung his arm, and struck out with his wooden blade.
Colors of Autumn!
Bang!
The two great forces clashed together, releasing an explosive sound. The longspear was deflected and Ma Sui’s attacking prowess was dissipated. Ma Sui attacked again, but his expression turned even more solemn than before. His earlier attack was wild and explosive. Most people would choose to dodge it, and he’d be able to launch a series of fierce attacks after it.
It was because the Coiling Dragon Tailwhip wasn’t just one swing but a consecutive 18 swings. As each swing would accumulate the power of the previous swing, the 18th swing’s power would reach a pinnacle. Ma Sui was confident that even a cultivator at the seventh level of the blood-ignition realm wouldn’t be able to fend it off.
“No, there’s no way that Sun Mo can see through the essence of this attack.” Ma Sui consoled himself.
However, Sun Mo had seen through it. After using Copy and analyzing with his Divine Sight, he noticed that Ma Sui had only used half of his muscles’ strength.
Usually, strength-type cultivators wouldn’t use half of their power at the start of a battle even if they didn’t go all out. Therefore, Sun Mo reckoned that this move should be a technique where the power kept layering on. He had to stop it at the very beginning. Sun Mo wanted to see Ma Sui’s Coiling Dragon Spear Art, but this didn’t mean that he would look down on him. If he didn’t negate such ultimate moves, he might end up losing.
Ma Sui’s attacks came in again.
Coiling Dragon Emerges from the Sea!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ma Sui’s longspear kept on disappearing and reappearing as he used his body to provide concealment. It kept on piercing toward Sun Mo from different directions.
This attack didn’t have a great force but was quite sneaky. One might fall for it if they didn’t pay attention.
“As expected of a peerless-grade heaven-tier cultivation art. This is quite amazing!”
Sun Mo exclaimed. If it wasn’t because he had Copy and the world was slowed down, it’d be a little difficult for him to receive this attack.
“As expected, Teacher Sun is really strong!” Ma Sui was also astonished. After nine strikes, he didn’t even leave a scratch on Sun Mo, let alone defeating him.
“Thank you for your praise!”
Sun Mo said humbly. But at the next instant, three longspears darted out from behind Ma Sui’s left waist, above his right shoulder, as well as the inner part of his lower thigh. All of them shot out for Sun Mo’s critical spots.
Three Dragons Emerge from the Sea!
“F*ck!”
Sun Mo felt upset after falling for the talking distraction. The other party wasn’t complimenting him but was just trying to distract his focus.
