Chapter 1007: The Champion Is Born, Super Rewards!
Translator: Lordbluefire
The consequences of Li Ziqi not participating in the competition were quite critical.
The exam this batch had produced some pretty good newbies. They had been prepared to measure themselves against Li Ziqi, but they didn’t know that she decided not to continue.
And because of this, after some consideration, two-thirds of the examinees also chose not to continue.
There was no solution to it. Li Ziqi had broken the record and even defeated Secondary Saint Zhou’s beloved genius grandson. If she stopped participating, it meant that the weightage of the number one rank would be greatly reduced.
Even if everyone fought to the death to vie for the championship, they wouldn’t have too much glory. In fact, they might even suffer as the gains did not make up for the losses.
They were also afraid of getting injured.
So, those newbies who had impressive strength also chose not to participate, causing the martial segment to be called off. This screwed up the plans of the gambling dens. After all, this was a result that no one could have anticipated.
The bosses of the gambling dens were cursing; the ordinary folks were cursing as well. The spearhead was aimed at the Golden Cherry Academy.
Because in their hearts, becoming the champion was an honor. If an examinee chose to stop participating for no reason, it must be because the school had pressured or humiliated them.
After Tantai Yutang learned of Luo Tianping’s behavior, he immediately spent 10,000 taels to hire people to spread rumors. He wanted to blacken her reputation first.
Among Sun Mo’s personal students, Tantai Yutang was the most scheming as well as the one with the lowest bottom line.
What was more terrifying was that he would avenge the tiniest problem.
And after receiving this news, Qin Yaoguang gathered everyone and started to discuss how they should celebrate for their eldest martial sister.
Truthfully speaking, even if Li Ziqi couldn’t get the top place in the martial exam, she would still be the first of this batch. It also meant that she would be the top examinee.
Why? Because her results in the first three rounds were simply too shocking and could be considered absolute perfection.
15th of March was precisely the day of the Insects Wake, and the final round of questioning had ended. Li Ziqi didn’t say that her dream was to build the biggest library in the Nine Provinces, allowing everyone to have books to read. After some polite words, she qualified with no suspense.
On the second day, the star imparting ceremony would be held in the grand assembly hall of the Golden Cherry Academy.
Liang Hongda announced publicly the names of everyone who passed. After that, he got Li Ziqi, the person whose comprehensive scores out of all the segments was the highest, to become the representative of this batch to make a speech.
“The reason why I can have my current results is all due to the kindness of my teacher. He is someone noble and pure, someone who separates himself from low-level delights. Studying under his tutelage has benefited me boundlessly.
“All my peers, if you don’t know what you should do for your future career, why don’t you guys make a trip down to our Central Province Academy and hear a few lectures conducted by my teacher?”
Everyone was stunned. No one had expected that Li Ziqi wouldn’t mention anything about herself and used her rare chance at this valuable stage to praise Sun Mo and recruit great teachers for the Central Province Academy.
Wasn’t this too loyal?
At this moment, many great teachers felt so envious that they wanted to die.
Who wouldn’t want such a good student?
Moreover, the quality of this advertisement was relatively high. Other than the 300 names who passed, some of those unlucky people who failed were also preparing to head to the Central Province Academy for a look. Maybe they could improve themselves there.
Ding!
“Congratulations, your personal student has obtained the 1-star great teacher qualification under your meticulous tutelage, becoming the youngest great teacher in history. You are hereby awarded 3 diamond treasure chests. Please continue to work hard.”
Ding!
“Congratulations, your personal student has become the champion of the 1-star examination of this batch. Moreover, she is also the youngest champion. There will be a special ‘enormous’ reward.”
Three golden balls of light appeared before Sun Mo.
“Please choose your reward! Note: You can only select one.”
The system reminded him.
“What’s inside these?”
Sun Mo didn’t act immediately.
“A prescription of a legendary-tier alchemy pill, a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art, and a skill book. After using the skill book, the expertise of one of your subjects will immediately be enhanced to the grandmaster level.”
The system explained.
“Eh? Why did your personality suddenly change? Why did you give me such good rewards?”
Sun Mo was astonished.
“Because your performance was too outstanding. Hence, I took out the best rewards I could take out within my authority to give them to you.”
The system sighed ruefully.
It truly didn’t expect such a performance from the little sunny egg.
“Haha, I won’t be polite then.”
Sun Mo looked at the three balls of light. He still felt that the alchemy prescription was the most practical.
As long as the effect of the alchemy pill was great, it would be able to sell throughout the Nine Provinces. Besides, something like this could also be used as a gift to establish one’s social connection.
As for cultivation arts, he could only learn it and pass it down to his students.
After all, even if Sun Mo wanted to be a wastrel, he couldn’t just casually impart peerless saint-tier cultivation arts to others. Other than feeling reluctance, he was also worried.
What if that person became a villain and used the cultivation art to terrorize the Nine Provinces? If that was the case, Sun Mo had to bear the responsibility.
As for a grandmaster-level expertise in a subject, Sun Mo didn’t urgently need this right now.
At 22 years old, Sun Mo had learned too many things. It was time for him to accumulate experience to solidify his foundation. Even if he didn’t learn anything new in the future, his knowledge in the study of spirit runes, puppetry, beast taming, spiritual control, botany, and herbology was good enough for him to retire.
“I suddenly discovered that I’m erudite and multi-talented.”
In the midst of his contentment, he rubbed the papaya girl’s head and chose a golden ball of light. “Guys to the left and girls to the right. I’ll choose this one!”
“Eh? Why did you choose the one on the right?”
The system didn’t understand.
“I was choosing one quickly before you noticed!”
Sun Mo watched his choice as the golden light faded, leaving behind a skill book.
Ding!
“Congratulations, your study of poison has improved to the grandmaster level.”
The system congratulated him.
“...”
Sun Mo was speechless. (Why does it have to be the study of poison? Could it be that my lucky mascot is no longer lucky?)
“This is not bad either. At the very least, when you head out to adventure in the future, you don’t have to worry about being poisoned to death by eating wild mushrooms. Moreover, the Nine Provinces is different from your past world where it was very difficult for ordinary people to purchase poisonous substances. In the Nine Provinces, if you want to kill someone using poison, it would be too simple.”
The system felt that Sun Mo looked down on the study of poison too much.
“It’s fine. In any case, Tantai Yutang can use it.”
Sun Mo consoled himself. Since it was free, he might as well just take it.
Ding!
“Congratulations on completing the achievement ‘My disciple ventures out for the first time and gain some fame’. Reward: 1 great teacher halo!”
Ding!
“A linked set of missions has been activated. Please nurture your students until their fame spreads throughout the world. When that is completed, a miraculous reward would be given.”
The system notification rang out.
“What is a miraculous reward?”
Sun Mo saw a skill book falling from the sky. After he looked at the name of the book, he immediately began to grin widely.
Unsculptable Rotten Wood?
My heavens, if I learned it, wouldn’t I be freaking awesome?!
“The name implies it clearly. It means that the reward will be as magical as a miracle. So rare that it fills one with disbelief. In any case, it would be a reward that has the ability to change your life.”
The system explained.
Sun Mo felt that the system was treating him as a fat fish and was putting bait for him. However, it was fine. He didn’t think that he would be able to obtain this achievement.
Nurturing his students until they became famous throughout the world?
Please, even he himself might not be able to reach this standard.
(It’s more practical to admire my battle spoils.)
Sun Mo read the introduction of this great teacher halo as he fondled the skill book admiringly.
