Chapter 881 - There’s No Need for Too Many Dolls, Eight of Them Is Enough.

On the grassy plains, the northern wind was gusting.

“Sun Mo, he is looking at you!”

Duanmu Li warned in a low voice. He felt that if Sun Mo wanted to act, he would surely be able to snatch Xiao Ri`nan successfully.

Sun Mo noticed Xiao Ri`nan’s gaze and then smiled.

This student was indeed a supreme genius. However, his desire to win was too strong and the way he did things was filled with utility and pragmatism.

Such a personality could allow him to be filled with enthusiasm, but it could also make him fall into the valley. It depended on whether his personal teacher could guide him properly or not.

As for accepting Xiao Ri`nan as his personal student?

Honestly speaking, Sun Mo didn’t have a great interest in it.

It wasn’t that Sun Mo was looking down on his flaws. After all, no one was perfect. Sun Mo wasn’t interested because their personalities didn’t match.

After all, the relationship between a teacher and their students was forever. If one party was unhappy with the other, how could they stay together for a long time?

“There’s no need for too many dolls, eight of them is enough.”

Sun Mo mumbled. By calculating, he already had eight personal students. Although all of them had some flaws, they were generally pleasing to his eye.

“You are pretty calm!”

Duanmu Li chortled. If he were Sun Mo, let alone a 6-star great teacher, even if his opponent was a terrifying secondary saint, he would compete for Xiao Ri`nan.

After all, in this era, the goal for all great teachers was to have outstanding students all over the world. They wanted to be able to teach a personal student whose names would resound throughout the world.

“Teacher Sun is smiling at me, what is he implying?”

Xiao Ri`nan frowned. (Why doesn’t he take the initiative to recruit me? If you want to recruit me, I will definitely agree to follow you!)

Given that he was able to get headhunted by a 6-star great teacher in public, Xiao Ri`nan’s heart was filled with pride as his ego swelled. This indicated that he had obtained some recognition.

But after that, Xiao Ri`nan felt a headache because he didn’t know if he would offend the other party if he rejected him.

(Why are you not a 7-star?)

Xiao Ri`nan sighed in his heart. After that, he had a look of trepidation on his face as he dipped into a deep bow toward Meng Tai. “I’m still hesitating whether I want to continue developing in the subject of the art of spiritual control. So...”

These words meant a rejection.

“Why not? Usually, all spiritual controllers have extremely good talents but will be bad in terms of physical combat. This is their greatest flaw. However, things are different for you.”

Meng Tai’s gaze shone brightly as he looked at Xiao Ri`nan. “Your combat ability is extremely strong. So, in the future, your name will surely be able to resound famously throughout the nine provinces!”

(I naturally know!)

Xiao Ri`nan silently sneered. Sun Mo had said such words before. A moment later, he rejected Meng Tai again.

“That’s too regretful!”

Meng Tai looked at Xiao Ri`nan and unceasingly sighed as he continued to persuade, “You can consider it, please do not waste your talent!”

“I will wait for you any time!”

When great teachers encountered good students, they would be filled with patience.

(If I want to take on a personal teacher, I would also choose Sun Mo instead!)

Xiao Ri`nan didn’t simply want to train in the art of spiritual control, but this Meng Tai evidently could only teach him this subject. Sun Mo was different. He knew everything.

It was clear that Xiao Ri`nan would benefit more in the future if he chose to follow Sun Mo.

“Who taught you the art of spiritual control?”

Meng Tai tried to find more things to talk about so he could build a better relationship with Xiao Ri`nan.

It wasn’t that he was being shameless. However, because this subject depended on talent too much, it was truly not easy to be able to find a good seedling.

“It’s Teacher Sun.”

Xiao Ri`nan didn’t conceal it.

“It can’t be Sun Mo, right?”

Meng Tai saw Xiao Ri`nan nodding. His face was immediately filled with shock as he turned his head to look at Sun Mo. (Why do you know everything?)

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Meng Tai +100. Friendly (310/1,000).

“How did you discover his talent?”

Meng Tai was curious.

“Experience!”

Sun Mo’s reply was concise and comprehensive. He couldn’t possibly say that he possessed the Divine Sight, right?

“This fellow is too strong!”

Sang Ge felt very helpless. He started to ponder over whether he should ask Sun Mo for guidance in the subject that he was proficient in.

Wanyan Zhenghe didn’t hear what Sang Ge had said. He was currently dumbstruck.

He thought that Xiao Ri`nan merely summoned a few bugs and scorpions to bite his opponent for a sneak attack. However, he didn’t expect Xiao Ri`nan’s spiritual controlling techniques to be so strong! Honestly speaking, even someone like Wanyan Zhenghe, who killed people before, felt fear when that black cloud of bugs rushed over.

Xiao Ri`nan’s purpose in participating in this competition hadn’t been reached yet. Hence, he took the chance to challenge the little prince with the momentum of his victory.

“Wanyan Zhenghe, do you dare to fight with me?”

Swish~

The gazes of everyone immediately turned to the little prince.

“Ze, what an iron-headed character!”

Duanmu Li sighed. (What clan do you belong to? Is your clan more impressive than the Jin King? Do you have to be so unyielding toward the little prince?)

“It seems that you haven’t learned your lesson despite losing once before!”

Wanyan Zhenghe had a heavy expression and spoke with an unhappy tone of voice, “Sure. But you just fought and I won’t take advantage of you. You can rest first and we will fight some other time.”

“I don’t need to rest!”

Xiao Ri`nan’s tone grew even more unyielding.

“But I need you to rest. I don’t want you to say that I’m taking advantage of you after you lose!”

Although Wanyan Zhenghe wasn’t that experienced, he was still the successor to the throne and was quite clever. He said this because he wanted to drag the time out to find a way to suppress the bugs. Otherwise, he would have jumped out to challenge Xiao Ri`nan.

“Alright, if you guys want to fight, choose another time.”

Meng Tai stopped Xiao Ri`nan and decided to remind him privately that one couldn’t be so brash when it came to doing things.

...

In a large golden tent.

“Zeze, so many good shows to watch. You guys have lost much because you all didn’t go to Sun Mo’s location earlier!”

A judge wearing a bearskin hat walked in as he sighed continuously.

“What happened?”

Everyone was curious.

“Sun Mo even knows the art of spiritual control and his expertise is very high...”

The bearskin hat judge described the scenes from earlier in a lively and realistic manner. He then sighed ruefully. “You guys didn’t see the scene where those students queued up and waited to consult Sun Mo. Before this, only 7-star great teachers would be treated like this by the students.”

“No wonder so many students want to request stars for Sun Mo.”

Beardie finally found the root of the reason.

This was the influence of a supreme-grade great teacher. They were like top-level doctors. Who wouldn’t want such a teacher to help them answer their questions?

...

On the fourth day, Xianyu Wei’s expression was haggard and her clothes were tattered. There were grime and bloodstains all over her and during her return journey, she was stopped by three high-year students on a small slope.

“Oi, you better not refuse the toast to drink a forfeit. We will give you these prey, so you should hand the white deer over to us.”

Sa Yue threatened Xianyu Wei in a high-handed manner.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to snatch it, but the school had said that high-year students who were three years older than their target were not permitted to attack.

Only if the low-year students took the initiative to attack could they retaliate.

Right now, Xianyu Wei was not attacking at all. Sa Yue and her other two comrades could only make threats and promises as they attempted to negotiate.
