After Sun Mo came to the Nine Provinces, the number of times he had hit a student was less than the fingers in one hand. But this time around, he was truly angered.

Wanyan Zhenghe was too vicious, wanting to use an area-of-effect harming method. He wasn't afraid at all. Wasn't this simply because he was the little prince of Jin Country? Even if others were implicated, no one would dare to find trouble for him.

​​

Since that was the case, Sun Mo was going to ruthlessly teach this kid a lesson today.

After seeing that his persuasion was useless, the Beardie looked at Wanyan Zhenghe. "Little prince, why are you not apologizing yet?"

(You want me to apologize after I suffered so badly? What joke is this?)

Wanyan Zheng pursed his mouth; his face that was filled with hatred indicated his thoughts clearly. Even a fool would know he would continue to take revenge on Sun Mo.

"Ai, impossibly stupid."

The Beardie didn't want to persuade anymore. (I want you to apologize because I want the students to hear it. Do you think Sun Mo would believe in your apology? Even if your royal father came to apologize, Sun Mo wouldn't believe it.)

To the current Wanyan Zhenghe, thinking of how to get back his reputation was the most important thing.

One must know that there were two purposes why the king of Jin Country wanted to let his child come to the Dragon Subduing Academy. Studying and learning was secondary. The most important thing was to let the little prince form a good connection with the other children of nobility and rich clans, recruiting loyal subordinates and forming his own faction.

Successors didn't necessarily have to be the most talented ones. But they had to know how to read and use people.

"Teacher, I suddenly feel my skin is a little itchy!"

A girl who was fanatic about beauty stared at a few pimples on her arm and cried. (I don't want to become ugly.)

"The pollen from the cherryoluo hasn't taken effect yet."

Sun Mo was speechless. "You are suffering from an allergy. Did you eat something you don't eat often for your lunch?"

"Ah? I only ate a few pieces of dried fruits" The girl exclaimed in shock. "What is an allergy?"

"It's a sickness. When others eat something, they are fine but when you eat it, you might die."

Sun Mo walked over and inspected the girl's skin, eyeballs, and oral cavity. "Luckily, you didn't eat too much and it isn't serious. Just drink more warm water soaked with kumquat flowers and snake licorice root. You will be fine in three days."

"Oh!"

The girl responded. She decided to look for a doctor to check her body after the class ended.

Sun Mo could use the Ancient Massaging Technique to expel the toxins in the girl's bloodstream. However, the judging panel forbade him to use it, so he could only give up.

Sigh!

It was clearly a great opportunity to show off God Hands, so he could earn some favorable impressive points.

"Everyone, you don't have to be too worried!"

Sun Mo grabbed the spice bag hanging on Wanyan Zhenghe's waist and shattered it using force.

The fine powder then wafted through the air.

Sun Mo waved his sleeves.

Hu~

A gust of gentle wind disseminated a light-smelling fragrance through the classroom.

That was the antidote.

"It's fine now."

After Sun Mo spoke, the bugle horn sounded out.

"Alright students, class dismissed!"

Sun Mo casually left the classroom.

"Sun Mo, just you wait. I won't let you go."

Wanyan Zhenghe had a gloomy expression on his face as he rushed out of the classroom.

When the students saw the little prince leaving, they heaved a sigh of relief, and some of them immediately started to applaud.

Pak, pak!

After that, the people applauding grew in number and very soon the clapping sounds rang out in the entire classroom.

When Wanyan Zhenghe heard the warm applause, he turned his head back and glanced. The malice in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Teacher Sun is truly impressive!"

"Is there anyone who wants to make a bet? I bet that he would officially be approved to join the school even before his intern period ends."

"Of course. How blind must the headmaster be to miss out on such a talent?"

The students discussed fervently. This was especially so for those who failed to listen to Sun Mo's lecture in the morning. Those who came to watch a good show because they had heard their friends praising Sun Mo discovered that Sun Mo's reputation was great indeed.

The standard of this intern teacher wasn't in any way inferior to the employed teachers.

…

Ding!

"Congratulations on obtaining a good beginning in the 3-star great teacher examination. Reward: 1x golden chest."

Ding!

"Congratulations on obtaining the achievement: Displaying your brilliance in the Nine Greats. Reward: 1x golden treasure chest."

Ding!

"New mission issued: Please correct Wanyan Zhenghe's personality and make him admire you. Reward: 1x mysterious treasure chest."

(Che!)

(I thought there would be three rewards in one go.)

Sun Mo completely had no interest in completing such a shitty mission.

It was as though the system had heard Sun Mo's inner voice. Another notification rang out.

Ding!

"New mission issued: Before you leave, please headhunt a great teacher from the Dragon Subduing Academy. The higher the great teacher's rank is, the better the rewards will be."

Ding!

"New mission issued: Recruit a personal student. The quality of rewards will depend on the aptitude of the student."

"System, are you pranking me?"

Sun Mo was speechless. Teaching in the Dragon Subduing Academy would allow a teacher to have face and an ample salary. Even if their heads got kicked by a donkey, they wouldn't be willing to lower their status to teach in the Central Province Academy.

"Heroes are those who can accomplish things others cannot!"

The system encouraged, "You can do it."

…

In the office, Beardie stood there respectfully.

"Today is the first day of lectures. How are the performances of those examinees?"

Murong Ye poured a cup of tea. "Sit down and talk, don't be so reserved."

"In terms of teaching, people from the Central Plains are indeed more skillful than us. Their performances are not bad. There are ten people I feel are worthy of nurturing, but after that monster Sun Mo appeared, I began to look down on them."

The Beardie received the cup of tea with two hands, but he didn't sit down.

Although Murong Ye was just a vice headmaster, he was outstanding and could handle everything meticulously during this period when the headmaster was in close-door cultivation.

The only problem was his cultivation realm and teaching ability. They were a little inferior in comparison which restricted his development.

"Oh? What kind of person is Sun Mo?"

Murong Ye was curious.

"I heard he has the beautiful reputation of God Hands, but I've never seen it before. However, there's one point I can be sure of. His intelligence is definitely extremely high because he deciphered the murals of the Battlegod Canyon and obtained the Battlegod Catalog."

The Beardie did his research well.

"Battlegod Catalog?"

Murong Ye frowned.

The Beardie gave a detailed introduction. Murong Ye was usually very busy and basically had no time to understand such news.

"An Xinhui's fiance? A vice headmaster of the Central Province Academy? Doesn't that mean we have no hope of recruiting him?"

Murong Ye drank a mouthful of tea.

"Even if he didn't have all these, it wouldn't be easy for us to recruit him either. In the eyes of people from the Central Plains, we from the Dragon Subduing Academy are barbarians."

The Beardie had never thought of recruiting Sun Mo, so his attitude wasn't too polite.

Honestly speaking, before he met Sun Mo, the Beardie would dare to arrogantly proclaim that there was no one the Dragon Subduing Academy couldn't headhunt.

But after he saw Sun Mo's performance today, he gave up.

It was too unrealistic to assume the leaders of the Skyraise Academy and Heavenly Mystery Academy to be blind. So, they would surely act to headhunt Sun Mo.

"You...your self-esteem is too low!"

Murong Ye chortled. "Remember a sentence. As long as you wield the hoe good enough, you will be able to plant any types of flowers you want to. You should act according to Sun Mo's weaknesses."

"I'll do my best and try."

The Beardie noted.

"I remember there's the #1 ranker on the Great Teachers Hero Rankings, right? How is his performance?"

Murong Ye was curious.

"His lecture isn't bad."

Beardie sighed. "Sadly, he encountered Sun Mo. If he doesn't have other methods to use, the champion this year would definitely be Sun Mo."

"This is only the first day, are you not judging things too early?"

Murong Ye teased.

"It's not early anymore."

The Beardie felt a sense of disappointment. "You will understand if you see Sun Mo giving a lecture. He's someone unique among all the examinees."

"Since that's the case, give Sun Mo some preferential treatment and let him feel at home here. Regardless of whether we manage to headhunt him successfully or not, it won't be wrong to form a good relationship with him."

Murong Ye instructed.

"Eh."

The Beardie thought for a little and eventually decided to reveal the conflict between Sun Mo and Wanyan Zhenghe.

"Oh, so that's the case? If that's so, let's delay the preferential treatment then."

Murong Ye fell silent.

Regardless of whether Wanyan Zhenghe's actions were correct or not, he would be the future king of Jin Country. Moreover, there was only one king but there were many talented teachers like Sun Mo.

If they antagonized Wanyan Zhenghe because they recruited Sun Mo, it would surely negatively influence Murong Ye's career.

In the Dragon Subduing Academy, if someone wanted to become the headmaster, talent and ability were not the only prerequisites. One's birth was also considered. If you were not from the nobility of the large tribes, it was impossible for you.

…

Jiang Ji stayed in the library until late at night before he returned to his dormitory. In the end, he discovered that his dorm mates hadn't slept yet and was discussing Sun Mo.

"I feel he is the most impressive among all the intern teachers!"

After hearing this, Jiang Ji's gaze drifted over. (The most impressive? What the hell? Has Sun Mo asked for my opinion before?)

"No matter if he is the most impressive or not, since he has hit Wanyan Zhenghe, there's no chance of him being employed anymore."

A roommate sat on his bed and scratched his feet while reading as he subconsciously mumbled.

"Yeah, in any case, he isn't our competitor."

"However, he will surely not need to fret about not getting a job in other supreme-tier academies."

The tone of the conversation was filled with envy.

After all, to great teachers, capabilities were everything.

"Sorry, can I interrupt a bit? Who is Wanyan Zhenghe?"

Jiang Ji was curious.

"The little prince of Jin Country."

The feet-scratching guy replied.

"Sun Mo hit him?"

Jiang Ji saw the feet-scratching guy nodding and he started for a while, feeling a little unhappy and annoyed. He knew that if he was the one in Sun Mo's shoes, no matter what happened, he would surely not take action against a little prince.

"Hmph, hitting someone can be considered a capability? We, great teachers, should convince everyone using logic instead."

Jiang Ji consoled himself. After that, he wore the clothes he just took off and headed out of the door.

"Eh? Where are you going? Are you not going to sleep?"

The feet-scratching guy finished speaking and heard the words 'heading to the library' drifting in from outside.

Sleep what sleep?

If one wanted to become the champion, they had to put in an amount of effort that surpassed what ordinary people would put in.

After hearing the reply, the few of them exchanged glances and took out books without prior agreement with each other. They prepared to burn the midnight oil out.

F***, the intern teachers this year are trying so hard. Do they really not want to give a path of survival to others?

…

Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu also stayed the night in the library. After returning to his dorm, he was stopped by Tuoba Cao.

"I heard that you hit Wanyan Zhenghe?"

As Tuoba Cao spoke, he poured a cup of water for Sun Mo.

Zhou Liqing's lips twitched when he saw this scene. He had stayed together with these two fellows for two months and didn't have much to chat about. Their relationship had always been cold.

"That's not hitting, I'm educating him."

Sun Mo corrected.

"Impressive."

Helian Xue flashed a thumbs-up.

"Hit him harder next time or a calamity would appear in Jin Country."

Tuoba Cao's tone was filled with anger and he contributed 50 favorable impression points. After that, he took out a packet of dried beef jerky from under his bed.

"Give it a try!"

Tuoba Cao became much more passionate.

Honestly speaking, as he looked at the dried pieces of beef jerky, Sun Mo could imagine how many flies must have crawled on it when it was in the drying process. But it was hard to fend off Tuoba Cao's passion and he also felt embarrassed to reject it.

"Forget it, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Sun Mo decided to bear it. He took the smallest piece and chewed it. After that, he activated Divine Sight and observed the three people here.
