As Alage entered the battlefield, a few other youths also walked over while laughing, wanting to watch a good show.

"Are you a student?"

​​

Sun Mo frowned.

"Why do you care whether I'm a student or not? In any case, scram right now, or I'll show you who's the boss."

Alage's attitude was very terrible.

They were students of the seventh year and would graduate next spring.

At this age, they had learned everything they should learn, and looking for jobs was the next thing on their agenda. Hence, they were very bored and decided to cultivate in the Dragon Subduing Palace.

Algae wanted to target Sun Mo because he didn't want an outsider to enjoy the benefits here.

"Teacher Sun, they are racists. Be careful."

Duanmu Li warned. Among the barbarians, some viewed people from the Central Plains with immense hostility. In fact, they felt that the school shouldn't employ anyone from the Central Plains at all.

Learning the language of the Central Plains, wearing clothes with the style of the Central Plains, drinking the tea from there...in their points of view, these were behaviors that violated the teaching of their ancestors. Such people must be shot to death and their corpses must be fed to vultures.

"How will you show me who's boss?"

Sun Mo smiled and asked.

Bang!

Alage punched his fists together as he smiled maliciously at Sun Mo. "A battle. Do you dare?"

"A life-and-death battle?"

Sun Mo's lips curled. "If it's not a life-and-death battle, I'm not interested."

Eh!

After seeing Sun Mo's casual expression, Alage and his comrades had a look of shock on their faces.

One must know that the teachers from the Central Plains would usually give some face to the other party since they wanted to seek employment in the Dragon Subduing Academy. If not, they wouldn't need to make a living here anymore.

However, this one was clearly different. He immediately wanted a life-and-death battle!

"Scram if you don't dare to accept it. Don't be an irksome presence here."

Sun Mo berated.

Alage was a fierce guy from Jin Country. After being provoked by Sun Mo, he lost his temper and directly pulled out his curved blade. "Alage, fifth level of the Divine Force Realm. Please guide me."

"Scram! Scram! Scram!"

Sun Mo impatiently waved his hands.

"What do you mean?" Alage roared, "Are you afraid now?"

"A newbie at the fifth level of Divine Force Realm wants to fight against me? Have you grown tired of living? Who gave you the courage?"

Sun Mo scolded in anger.

"Acting like a snob. Die for me!"

Alage raged. He directly lunged forward and slashed his curved blade out.

Sun Mo couldn't even be bothered to dodge. He directly clenched his right hand tightly and punched out.

Bang!

An iron fist landed on Alage's face and directly caused his nose and lips to sink in. After that, he got blasted back from the impact.

Bang!

Alage fell onto the ground and felt a headache. He then coughed out a large mouthful of blood with a few teeth mixed within.

"An insta-defeat?"

The spectators were all looking at Sun Mo with shock in their eyes.

Wasn't this fellow an intern teacher that overestimated himself? After all, his age was only 20+ and he was definitely not a 3-star great teacher.

Such a person coming to seek employment here was simply indulging in wishful thinking.

Usually speaking, for people of the same age, a great teacher's cultivation base and combat strength would comparatively be lower than cultivators'. This was because a great teacher's time was too precious. They still needed to study and teach their students. However, this person was actually strong enough to crush Alage with a single punch!

"Anyone else who wants to fight?"

Sun Mo turned and glanced at the audience.

Such humiliation caused their faces to convulse. They wanted to curse and accept the battle, but the miserable appearance of Alage caused them to feel fear and trepidation in their hearts.

"A bunch of cowards. Do you guys only know how to bully the weak?"

Sun Mo mocked. "Come and fight then. Don't you guys want to show me who's the boss? Come on!"

"Preposterous. Man from the Central Plains, don't be arrogant."

A youth couldn't bear it anymore and jumped down.

Sun Mo did a beckoning gesture with his fingers.

The youth charged over and when he almost reached Sun Mo, he punched out while revealing a sinister smile.

"Go to hell!"

Woosh~

A sharp wind suddenly blasted toward Sun Mo's back.

A gorgeous ferocious tiger suddenly appeared behind Sun Mo and brandished its sharp claws at him.

"Well done, finish him!"

The audience shouted loudly.

This tiger that knew how to make itself invisible was Baxitai's trump card. He managed to capture it in a tempering expedition in the Darkness Continent when he was in his sixth year.

By depending on this ferocious tiger, Baxitai's fame surged in the Dragon Subduing Academy, and a few princes and dukes had placed his name in their lists. However, he didn't work for them because he wanted to see if the King of Jin Country would recruit him. He wished to become a gold-veiled warrior that could live in glory.

"Don't you people from the Central Plains speak about something like paying back someone in their own coin? Today, I will let you taste the iron fist of a brave warrior from the mighty Jin Country!"

Baxitai punched out heavily.

Sun Mo remained unperturbed. He took a step forward and acted with lightning speed.

Pak!

Sun Mo grabbed Baxitai's arm and forcefully twisted it. At the same time, he turned and side-stepped. His entire person spun about, and his right leg was like a Buddha mace as it swept out.

Bang!

Sun Mo's leg smashed into the head of the ferocious tiger, blasting it away.

Kaba!

Baxitai's scapula was dislocated by Sun Mo, and intense pain caused his head to be covered in sweat.

Bang!

The ferocious tiger slammed onto the ground as fresh blood flowed from its head. Even its eyes turned cloudy. If Sun Mo had used a little more force, its head would have exploded.

Sun Mo then lifted his feet and aimed a kick at the back of Baxitai's knees.

Pak!

Baxitai knelt.

"In a fair fight, you actually used such a despicable method. Are the people of your tribe so shameless?"

Sun Mo asked.

The audience had looks of shame on their faces.

"Kill him!"

Baxitai howled, feeling rage in his heart. It was over. This defeat had destroyed the reputation he had been building up for several years.

He couldn't become a golden-veil warrior anymore.

The angry Baxitai wanted to kill Sun Mo to vent his anger.

Roar!

The ferocious tiger roared. The intense pain caused it to become even crazier, and it galloped furiously over, wanting to tear Sun Mo into pieces. But at the instant it swiped its paw out, Sun Mo glared at it.

Woosh~

At that moment, the ferocious tiger felt as though it had just seen the king of a hundred beasts descending. Its legs buckled and it prostrated down before emitting whimpering sounds.

"What the hell?"

"What did he do? Why would the ferocious tiger submit?"

"Some type of brilliant beast controlling technique?"

The commotion here had attracted several people who wanted to watch a good show. When they saw Sun Mo merely shooting an angry glare over, which caused the ferocious tiger to submit, their hearts were filled with incomparable shock.

"This…"

Duanmu Li was amazed. Sun Mo was actually a grandmaster beast tamer too?

Sun Mo's expertise in the study of beast taming was at the grandmaster level. It was just that he had never used it before. Earlier, the technique he just used was none other than the Ferocious Beast Cowering Technique, which could cause fierce beasts to feel fear.

Naturally, because he was not too used to it, the effect was ordinary. But his will contained the might from the Battle God. Ferocious beasts and fierce birds were the most sensitive to this type of might. This was why the tiger would be so frightened that it chose to submit.

"Anyone else?"

Sun Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly resounded throughout the entire Draconic Human Great Hall. Everyone had quietened down and gathered here.

But...no one replied.

Pak!

Sun Mo grabbed Baxitai by his clothes and tossed him out.

"Before learning something, learn how to be a human first. Has your teacher not taught you about this? Also, how many things have you guys learned? Actually daring to shamelessly boast and wanting a fight!"

"If I'm not a teacher, I would have crushed all your heads today!"

Sun Mo coldly snorted as he scolded them.

Alage and his comrades immediately shifted their eyes away when they saw Sun Mo looking over. There was no solution to it. They couldn't afford to offend him!

Sigh!

They had really rammed their toes into an iron board this time around.

"The few of you, go and kneel at the entrance of the Dragon Subduing Palace and face the walls for three days!"

Sun Mo punished them.

"Based on what?"

A youth was unhappy. Doing such a thing was too embarrassing.

"Go. Face. The. Wall!"

Sun Mo pronounced each word separately.

Bzz!

Profound Words were activated. When the light shone on the youths, Sun Mo's instructions were enforced.

"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"

The sounds of hurried footsteps rang out. After that, a man clad in great teacher robes pushed apart the crowd and appeared in this place.

The person in the lead was a young man with a heroic bearing. He had a tiger back and a bear waist and was nine feet tall. There were three stars sewed on the school emblem in front of his chest.

"Teacher Xiao!"

When they saw Xiao Di, the few youths immediately started crying.

Xiao Di had a heavy look on his face. He immediately brandished the whip on his waist and whipped out.

Pak, pak, pak!

The whip landed on the bodies of the few youths and directly tattered their clothes, causing various swellings.

"Guys of our great Dragon Subduing Academy would rather die in battle than cry and beg for mercy!"

Xiao Di scolded.

"Teacher Sun, these people are all from the hawk faction*. You have to be careful."

Duanmu Li warned.

Xiao Di's group had no way to stop the headmaster from recruiting people from the Central Plains. So, they would always find opportunities to provoke and make them lose face to the point where they felt embarrassed to continue staying here.

Sun Mo activated Divine Sight.

Xiao Di, ninth level of Divine Force Realm. 3-star great teacher. His cultivation art is the Great Solar Evil Destroying Art, an inferior saint-tier cultivation art. Its destructive might is outstanding.

Potential value: Extremely high.

Note: This guy is fierce and ruthless, having characteristics akin to wolves in the wilderness.

"What's your name?"

Xiao Di asked. Sun Mo's gaze caused him to feel very uncomfortable because there was too much penetrating force.

"Sun Mo!"

Sun Mo's alias was this as well. So he didn't need to worry about exposing his identity.

"Teacher Sun, when a student commits a mistake, they should be taught a lesson indeed. However, are your actions not a little too heavy?"

Xiao Di questioned.

"If it's not heavy, they wouldn't remember the lesson!"

Sun Mo then mentally mused, (The whiplashes you just did aren't light either). "Also, there's no need for you to give comments about how I teach students."

"Is this fellow crazy? He actually argued with Teacher Xiao? He would surely be beaten to death."

"It's so good that we can see Teacher Xiao's divine art again."

"You are thinking too much. Against such an opponent, Teacher Xiao didn't need to act personally."

The students mumbled with excited expressions. Xiao Di was famed for being a very good fighter in this school.

"We, guys from the great Jin Country, regard experts highly and believe in the philosophy that might makes right. Since we can't come to an agreement, let's fight. The victor is then the correct one!"

After Xiao Di spoke, he didn't give Sun Mo any chance to reject. He directly turned his head. "Old Jin, go and test him out."

"Sun Mo? You are the one who hit the little prince yesterday?"

Jin Yan was curious.

"You won't cut it. Get someone else stronger."

Sun Mo waggled his index finger.

Fighting?

He naturally wouldn't be scared.

Or in other words, it was good if they fought. This was especially so if he could defeat someone famous from the Dragon Subduing Academy. This way, his fame would spread even quicker.

"What did you say?"

Jin Yan frowned severely.

"I'm saying you are too weak and can't fight against me. Get someone else."

Sun Mo had long since looked at the data of this fellow. Seventh level of the Divine Force Realm, 27 years old. It wasn't too bad. Sadly, this guy would definitely lose if the two of them fought.

"Preposterous."

Jin Yan angrily roared, "Whether I'm weak or not, we would only know after we fought."

"Since you want to be embarrassed, come on then. It's fine with me either way."

Sun Mo laughed. "But let's make things clear first. This battle will be a life-and-death battle!"

The words Sun Mo spoke caused the countenances of Xiao Di and his group to change.

Was this person surnamed 'Sun' a mad man?

[1] Hawk faction - A war hawk, or simply hawk, is a term used in politics for someone who favors war or continuing to escalate an existing conflict as opposed to other solutions.
