Chapter 1178: The Salted Fish Prince Group of Great Tang!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Sun Mo only met Li Yingqi an afternoon later.

This Great Tang Emperor might be feeling a case of ‘love me, love my dog’ or he might just admire Sun Mo. In any case, he didn’t exude the imposing prestige of an emperor but was like a friendly neighborhood uncle instead as he asked Sun Mo about everything Li Ziqi had experienced.

However, his last sentence exposed his temperament.

“Great Teacher Sun, we HAVE to win the Five Empires War Discussion this time around!”

It was also because Sun Mo’s fame was too great that Li Yingqi didn’t dare to speak randomly. If not, he might have issued an order to make Sun Mo join the prince group by force.

“Who is the leader of the prince group?”

Sun Mo wasn’t polite either and directly went straight to the point. “If I’m the team leader, I will bear all the responsibility. If I’m not, let Han Cangshui be the one responsible!”

“This…”

Li Yingqi felt somewhat difficult to speak. Bluntly speaking, he still trusted Han Cangshui a little more. After all, Sun Mo was too young.

He wasn’t even as old as the crown prince.

Yes, the Crown Prince of Great Tang was older than Sun Mo by two years.

As the old saying goes, if you don’t have a mustache above your lips, you won’t be competent in doing things. Sun Mo was simply too outrageously young, so the emperor truly didn’t feel secure.

Sun Mo smiled and didn’t continue asking, but he had displayed his attitude. (If the ending of the competition is such that we cannot get the first or second rank, don’t find trouble for me.)

The meeting ended and Sun Mo bade farewell. Under the lead of a low-ranking eunuch, he went to look for Li Ziqi.

During this period, he stayed in the imperial palace, but he wasn’t permitted to move about freely. This was especially so for the residences of the concubines. Sun Mo was forbidden to enter there.

After Sun Mo left, Li Yingqi glanced at the chief eunuch beside him. “How do you feel about this person?”

“Too brazen!”

Hou Chun expressed indignation in his tone.

When the other great teachers met the emperor, they would display a subservient attitude and would kneel in greeting. However, the emperor also wouldn’t treat scholars with disrespect. Great teachers didn’t need to kneel before him.

By doing this, both parties would have face.

However, Sun Mo basically had no intentions to be subservient. He merely clasped his hands in greeting.

Naturally, given Sun Mo’s status, he was qualified to do so. After all, Sun Mo didn’t need to care about hugging the Great Tang Empire’s large thigh.

“A young man that creates so many records, becoming the most dazzling new rising superstar of the great teacher world…It’s understandable if he’s somewhat arrogant!”

As the saying goes, unruly commanders and soldiers have exceptional combat strength. If Sun Mo didn’t exude such sharpness, Li Yingqi would actually not admire him at all.

“Mobilize 1,000 royal guards for him!”

Li Yingqi instructed.

Every time the Five Empires War Discussion commenced, there would be soldier battles. Logically speaking, the training of the soldiers should be done by Han Cangshui. However, Li Yingqi decided to give a portion of the soldiers to Sun Mo.

“Your Majesty, there will be a competition between Sun Mo and Great Teacher Han. If Sun Mo wins and obtains the position of team leader, it would already be enough for him to control the current number of students. There’s no need to mobilize more soldiers for him, right?”

Hou Chun was puzzled.

“There will definitely be a competition between the two of them, but if victory is decided too late, it would be time for the event. They won’t have time to train those royal guards.”

Li Yingqi explained.

“Besides, by giving Sun Mo equal conditions, we will provide him with enough capital to challenge Han Cangshui and also give some pressure to the latter. This move can kill three birds with one stone!”

“Your majesty is brilliant!”

Hou Chun revealed an enlightened expression and cheered.

Actually, he had thought of all these, but when it came to waiting upon the emperor, one mustn’t appear too clever. They had to give the emperor opportunities to display his brilliance.

…

Crown Prince Li Xuan was a young man that exuded a very intense scholarly aura. The mustache he purposely kept made him seem slightly older. This was for the sake of letting the emperor see.

He wanted to prove that he was already a man and was worthy of trust.

“Great Teacher Sun!”

Li Xuan was very polite as he clasped his hands and bowed. However, his heart was squirming with discomfort slightly because Sun Mo was outrageously young!

(Is he reliable?)

The crown prince felt worried in his heart.

“Your highness Crown Prince!”

Sun Mo returned the greeting and activated Divine Sight.

Li Xuan, 25 years old. First level of the Divine Force Realm.

Strength: 23. On the weaker side, he hates to endure suffering and prefers admiring art and literature as entertainment.

Intellect: 26. Slightly better than ordinary people, but before Li Ziqi’s intellect, he is nothing but an unenlightened ape.

Agility: 24. Average.

Will: 21. He feels very bored with life.

Endurance: 23. Just two palace maids are enough for you to complain tearfully. You don’t even have the strength left to wear your pants after the tryst.

…

Potential value: A hair above average!

Note: An ordinary person, but his luck is very good and he was born in the royal clan. He even managed to become the crown prince. However, it’s just this. His luck is good!

Note: Ordinary aptitude for all things. He is extremely obedient, and his only good point is that he is an honest person. He would follow the instructions of Li Yingqi and his teacher unconditionally.

Sun Mo felt somewhat disappointed. If such stats appeared on an ordinary person, he would be able to accept it. But if such stats appeared on a crown prince, he was truly mediocre.

Li Xuan’s greatest strong point was that he was obedient and honest.

Teachers loved such students the most, followed by those who were obedient and had good results, and lastly, disobedient students with bad results.

Because managing such students was the most worry-free. Moreover, their results also wouldn’t pull down the average marks in the class.

Sun Mo could imagine that after Li Xuan took the throne, he would become one of those mascot emperors that were completely useless. If his subjects were outstanding, he might be able to create a brilliant era. But if his subjects were bad and treacherous, he could only wait to be dethroned!

Wanting to win with such an aptitude?

Sun Mo didn’t feel it was possible.

(Look at how Great Xia handled things?)

Although the destruction wrought by war would cause many to die, any crown prince that managed to come out unscathed after a massacre like this would be someone with a first-class mental state.

Sun Mo continued looking and a red-colored warning sentence leaped out, causing him to start in surprise.

Li Xuan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Sun Mo, but he didn’t dare to interrupt as well. Hence, he could only show an awkward expression and felt very uncomfortable.

“Your highness, it is already so late. Why are you not studying yet?”

A confident voice rang out beside his ear.

Sun Mo frowned slightly because this voice was like a horse-cutting saber. It was thick, powerful, and brimmed with prestige and killing intent.

“This student obeys!”

Li Xuan hurriedly entered the study room after he clasped his hands toward Sun Mo.

Sun Mo turned and saw an old man with white hair that was combed meticulously walking out with vigorous steps.

His gaze was like a ferocious tiger that had descended from its mountain and was hunting prey. It was very invasive and full of aggression.

“Hmph!”

Han Cangshui didn’t bother with Sun Mo and directly left.

(Wanting my position as the team leader? I will make you regret ever coming out from your mother’s womb! The crown prince is my harvest, and no one is permitted to disrupt what’s mine!)

…

After Sun Mo met with Li Ziqi, he followed her and went to meet with the other five princes.

For the Five Empires War Discussion, each country could send out at least five people and at most seven people. They could also send out a ten-man reserve team.

The members of the reserve team were all children of nobility.

“Teacher, how do you feel?”

Li Ziqi poured a cup of tea for Sun Mo.

“The chance of winning isn’t high!”

Sun Mo shook his head. As the Emperor, what women Li Yingqi couldn’t have? Couldn’t he adjust the quality of his bloodline a little? Why did he have to sleep with beauties every time?

The princes and princesses were all good-looking, but as for their aptitude…it was hard to say…

“Oh…”

Li Ziqi was depressed.

“There will surely be a solution. At most, you can work harder!”

Li Ziqi started to discuss the content of the war discussion with Li Ziqi and proceeded with targeted training and other arrangements.

He wanted other princes to attend his training too, but the other princes used the excuse of listening to Han Cangshui’s classes to reject it.

“Is Han Cangshui’s clout so heavy?”

Sun Mo was shocked.

“His title is the Alchemy Martial Sage!”

Li Ziqi explained.

Han Cangshui’s title as an 8-stars great teacher was far inferior to the title ‘Alchemy Martial Sage’ because this title represented that he was an ancestor-level alchemist.

The princes and princesses all knew that their aptitudes couldn’t make it. So, if they wanted to increase their strength and lengthen their longevity, they had to depend on the top-grade alchemy pills concocted by Han Cangshui.

“I’m the God Hands though!”

Sun Mo’s lips curled.

Although he put it this way, he didn’t have any intention of comparing them. The main thing was that after he looked at these royal heirs, he didn’t feel they could win. So, he changed his strategy.

They could lose the group battle, but the little sunny egg must win for sure.

To put it in simple terms, it was to allow Li Ziqi to display the most outstanding and fascinating performance so she could become the brightest heir out of all the princes and princesses participating in the war discussion.

The training was very tough, and the little sunny egg could only sleep for three hours every day. She spent the rest of her waking time learning.

In order for her to maintain her condition, Sun Mo used his ancient massaging techniques, medicinal packets, counseling, and all other methods he could think of.

Every day, Sun Mo gave his all to help her. Also, he felt using his mouth to teach was too slow. Hence, he directly used Soul Imprint and branded all the content he wanted to teach into her brain.

Not only so, but he even used One Heart Two Uses so he could impart two types of content at once.

The other students of his also got dragged in.

Yes, Lu Zhiruo and the others had come here because they wanted to explore the local marketplace. But now, they were all forcefully dragged into the training too.

Time flowed by quickly.

The 15th of June had arrived.

Early in the morning, Sun Mo summoned Little Silver and rushed to Shengjing after two hours.

Today was the grandmaster-level spirit runist examination.

When Sun Mo entered the door of the Saint Gate’s branch and reported his name, the people in the great hall all looked over.

“That’s Sun Mo? He’s so handsome!”

“What is he doing here? Is he here to take the exam?”

“Should we go over to greet him?”

The surrounding great teachers started discussing. Because Sun Mo’s fame was too great, they actually didn’t dare to take the initiative to go over and chat with him.

Very soon, Liang Hongda arrived.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.

(My heavens, the vice sect lord personally appears to welcome him? This person truly has clout!)

What shocked them was what happened after that. After knowing that Sun Mo had arrived, all the grandmaster spirit runists rushed over excitedly.

“Damn, isn’t that Grandmaster Fang from Fan City?”

“Isn’t that baldy Grandmaster Xue? I heard that he entered seclusion after obtaining an ancient spirit rune and no one had seen him for ten years. Yet, he actually ended his seclusion for the sake of Sun Mo?”

“Quickly look, Ancestor Zheng personally came too. Oh my heavens, he’s actually being so friendly with Sun Mo!”

All the spirit runists who came to participate in this exam saw old seniors who had been famous for a long time appearing before their eyes. For a time, they were stunned and were somewhat nervous.

“The grandmaster-level examination this time around should be very difficult, right? Is there a need for so many top-level spirit runists to supervise and come out with questions?”

“Don’t panic, they might simply be here to see Sun Mo!”

“I heard that Secondary Saint Zhou deliberately tried making things difficult for Sun Mo and arranged the venue to be set at the Ancient Sage Building for the 4-stars examination. Say, do you guys think that this examination…”

“Mummy, I’m scared. I want to go home!”

Many examinees immediately wanted to retreat. Their faces turned pale, and they felt that they would surely fail this time around.

“Everyone, can you guys chat after the exam is finished?”

Liang Hongda interjected. “If you guys act like this, you will surely affect Sun Mo’s condition!”

“Why is there still a need for an exam? For a person who could create a flying spirit rune in our era, you can directly give him the ancestor title.”

Ancestor Zheng didn’t want to waste time.. It wasn’t easy for him to meet Sun Mo and he truly wanted to chat with him for a total of seven days and nights without sleeping.
