Chapter 299 You Have to Get Used to Victory!

“He unleashed that move in quite an impressive manner!”

When Qi Shengjia used Skywolf Hunt, Tang Ji involuntarily praised him.

“That’s right!” Jin Mujie nodded. Given their level of judgment, they could tell that Qi Shengjia had trained this move countless times.

He was a talentless student but was willing to work very hard!

Bang!

Peng Wanli fell off the platform. The pain started drifting over from all parts of his body but compared to the physical pain, the pain in his heart felt even worse. There was a lost look on his face.

“I lost again?”

Peng Wanli bit his lips as his body trembled unceasingly. He wanted to console himself, telling himself that he was defeated because of bad luck. However, he still wasn’t shameless to that extent where he could lie to himself.

(Yes, I’ll admit it. I’m inferior to Qi Shengjia!)

Despite the lengthy battle, he was unable to break Qi Shengjia’s defense. This was already sufficient to validate the standards of the two of them.

“It can’t be, right? Old Qi passed the test

again?”

Wang Hao was shocked.

“Given his strength, this is a sure thing!”

Zhou Xu sighed emotionally. This ‘transparent’ person who was once inferior to him had already risen to a point where he had to incline his head to look at him.

Leaving aside the fact that his cultivation base wasn’t comparable to Qi Shengjia, even if they had the same cultivation bases, Zhou Xu didn’t have any confidence that he could defeat Qi Shengjia after watching his performance today.

“Teacher Sun is truly awesome!”

Wang Hao praised.

“That’s right!”

The dorm mates immediately nodded. All of them couldn’t be more familiar with Qi Shengjia of the past. But ever since he had gotten acquainted with Sun Mo, he had grown so powerful just after half a year

“Our dorm truly has a member of the Battle Hall.”

Old Zhou sighed, feeling some pride.

When they went out, they would always boast about this. However, they didn’t have the confidence because Qi Shengjia was just a salted fish. Even they felt that he depended on luck to pass the test and that he would lose for sure the next time. But after watching today’s battle, they were finally convinced.

Qi Shengjia already had the power to establish a foothold here in the Battle Hall.

Upon thinking of this, they felt happy for Qi Shengjia while also a little envious. He had risen while they were still leading mediocre lives.

“No, I have to work hard too!”

At this moment, Old Zhou and the others decided to work hard. In the crowd, Yan Li’s eyes almost exploded from glaring at Qi Shengjia. (He won? He actually won?) What made him even more depressed was that given the strength Qi Shengjia had displayed, Yan Li knew he would never be able to defeat Qi Shengjia!

“Even a salted fish can turn its situation around? Has heaven gone blind?”

Yan Li felt depressed. Yes, this was all because of Sun Mo. (This can’t be, I have to think of a solution to get into the good books of this teacher. Now, he is still a teacher. After he passed the great teacher qualification examination, I wouldn’t have a chance any longer.)

“Are you alright?”

Qi Shengjia ran over. He leaped off the platform and helped Peng Wanli up.

Peng Wanli had wanted to fling Qi Shengjia’s hands aside. (You might have won, so why are you acting as the good guy here?) However, when he saw the look of worry in Qi Shengjia’s eyes, Peng Wanli’s hand stiffened.

There was no hint of pretense on this fellow’s face, nor was there any bit of complacence. Qi Shengjia was truly concerned about him.

“Even if I’m injured, it was because my skill is inferior to yours!”

It was clear that Peng Wanli’s words held resentment.

If it was others, they would surely turn and walk away after hearing this to enjoy the taste of victory as well as the envy of others.

However, Qi Shengjia didn’t. He smiled awkwardly and squatted down to inspect Peng Wanli’s injuries.

“Eh?!

Peng Wanli started. (What do you mean by this?)

Before Qi Shengjia knew Sun Mo, he was a complete loser. During every competition, he would always be the one being beaten up.

Even for the previous tests to join the Battle Hall, he felt that it was luck that he won twice consecutively. Not only was he not happy, but he immediately added his training load and worked even harder.

He won this time, but Qi Shengjia wasn’t complacent or proud at all. Instead, he felt anxious and panicky. (What should I do in the future?)

He was used to defeat and tears. Now that he suddenly won, he was completely at a loss of what to do.

“How did your strength improve so quickly?”.

Peng Wanli hesitated but decided to thicken his skin and ask. He also wanted to know how to become stronger. He felt that his talent was better than Qi Shengjia. Hence, if he used Qi Shengjia’s method, he would surely have a greater improvement.

“It was Teacher Sun who had taught me well!”

As he spoke of Sun Mo, Qi Shengjia’s expression immediately turned to one of respect. It felt as though if one had a cheeky expression on their faces, they would have blasphemed Sun Mo’s name.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Qi Shengjia +100. Reverence (2,902/10,000).

“Teacher Sun? Do you mean Teacher Sun Mo?”

Peng Wanli asked. There were quite a few teachers with the surname ‘Sun’ in the school.

“Yes, he is very impressive!”

Qi Shengjia nodded.

When the nearby students heard this, they couldn’t help but turn their heads and look at Sun Mo.

Clap, clap

The sounds of applause rang out through the great hall.

Although the duration of their battle was very long and not magnificent enough, there would always be applause for the victor due to politeness.

Qi Shengjia completely had no reaction. When he saw the doctor approaching and inspecting Peng Wanli’s injury, he even stretched out his hand and wanted to help.

“You don’t often win in the past, right?”

When Peng Wanli saw Qi Shengjia’s reaction, he reminded him. “Go up to the platform and thank them. In the future, they will still support you. If your luck is good, you might even be able to attract a few girls that like you!”

“Ah?”

Qi Shengjia had a dumbstruck look on his face. He turned his head and glanced at the platform. After that, he glanced at the spectators in the surroundings and quickly shook his head.

“No, you are mistaken. Their applause is for us, not just for me alone!”

Qi Shengjia was thinking that given his standard as a salted fish, how was it possible that others would applaud for him?

“It’s for you!”

The doctor couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he looked at Qi Shengjia. (Why is your self-confidence so low?)

Although Qi Shengjia had won, given his current performance, the doctor did not admire him at all. Qi Shengjia completely lacked the demeanor of a victor.

“Ah?”

Qi Shengjia felt some panic as he glanced at the surroundings, feeling like he didn’t know what to do. After being in a daze for some time, he quickly turned and ran out of the Battle Hall.

(Forget it, let’s think after leaving here.)

“Such a person could win too?” The doctor speechlessly shook his head. After that, he glanced at Peng Wanli. (You could even be defeated by such a person? You are really trash.)

Peng Wanli was extremely embarrassed after being looked at by the doctor like that. However, he started to mumble the words ‘Sun Mo’ silently in his heart. Should he look for Sun Mo to guide him a little?

(Wait a minute, the problem I should be considering now shouldn’t be this.)

(Given Sun Mo’s fame, even if I wanted to seek guidance from him, I most probably wouldn’t have any chance to, right?) However, Peng Wanli was still curious. How did Sun Mo nurture this ‘trash’ to become so powerful?

Although the doctor looked down on Qi Shengjia, as his opponent, Peng Wanli already recognized Qi Shengjia’s strength. He could sense the state Qi Shengjia was in during combat.

No joy, no sorrow, no pride, no frustrations. He was like stone. Even if he was about to lose or win, he wouldn’t give up or feel happy.

His mental state was truly too solid.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from Peng Wanli +50. Prestige connection unlocked. Neutral (50/100).

Zhu Ting announced the start of the next battle.

“Let’s leave!”

Cai Tan and Qi Shengjia finished their fights. Sun Mo was no longer keen to remain behind. “The honest guy feels too self-inferior!”

After seeing Qi Shengjia fleeing and not daring to accept the cheers a victor ought to receive, Li Ziqi was simply dumbfounded. That honest guy lacked too much confidence in himself. “Hehe!”

Sun Mo actually liked Qi Shengjia like this. If Qi Shengjia grew arrogant, Sun Mo would be disappointed instead.

Li Ziqi and Lu Zhiruo left the Battle Hall. When they saw that the time was still early, they decided to head to the Wind King Hall to cultivate. After all, the league tournament was about to arrive.

Sun Mo followed them. After that, they saw Qi Shengjia already practicing boxing there. No hint of joy could be seen on his face. It was as though the victor of the test earlier wasn’t him.

“Teacher!

After seeing Sun Mo, Qi Shengjia immediately ran over and greeted him.

Sun Mo didn’t speak. His hands were placed behind his back.

Qi Shengjia immediately bowed, a nervous look of trepidation on his face. He was thinking if he had done something wrong.

“Puff out your chest!”

Sun Mo berated.

Pak!

Qi Shengjia immediately stood straight. He wasn’t tall, but because he persevered unremittingly in his training all year round, his muscles were very sturdy and tough. If it wasn’t that his gaze was too cowardly, he would look like a steel-like ferocious guy.

“In the future, the number of your wins would only pile up. Hence, you have to learn how to enjoy the applause and fresh flowers!”

Sun Mo looked at the honest guy and solemnly reminded him.

Priceless Advice was activated.

“I...”

Qi Shengjia scratched his hair. He wanted to say that he was lucky. “Shut up!”

Sun Mo’s voice was ice-cold. “An expert doesn’t only need to have immense strength, his mental state also needs to be filled with confidence and pride. If not, you don’t even need to dream about stepping into the legendary realm in this lifetime!”

“Ah?”

Qi Shengjia was stunned. (The legendary realm? I’ve never even thought about it before. If I can reach the threshold to the divine force realm in my lifetime, I would already be thanking the heavens and earth.)

(I didn’t expect that Teacher’s anticipation of me is actually so high.) “Do not undervalue yourself!”

Sun Mo exerted force and patted Qi Shengjia on his shoulder. “Believe in yourself, you can do it. Your win this time around is the first step you have taken to changing your future.”

Qi Shengjia still didn’t believe it.

“Alright, for things like mental state, you can’t force it. In the future, when your number of wins increases, you will naturally get used to victory. You should stop practicing for today. Go and eat a good meal and have a good sleep. Go and enjoy the feeling of being a victor!”

Sun Mo smiled. “Student Qi, congratulations on passing the test of the Battle Hall.” Ding!

“Congratulations on helping Qi Shengjia establish his dominance in the Battle Hall, transforming a rotten wood into something magical. Reward: 1x bronze treasure chest!”

The system’s notification rang out.

Headmaster Office.

“The list for those participating in the league tournament has been determined. The two of you should take a look. If there are no problems, we can announce it.” An Xinhui passed two sets of name lists to Wang Su and Zhang Hanfu.

One was the representative group of the Central Province Academy. Students were chosen from each year to form an elite team, and there were a total of 30 people with 5 leading teachers included!

The other name list was for the new student group from the Central Province Academy. These students were selected from the freshmen of the school, and this group was set at 20 people with 4 leading teachers included! “It’s fine with me!”

Wang Su didn’t glance at the name list because these candidates were chosen by him and An Xinhui.

“I disagree!”

Zhang Hanfu grew unhappy. “For the new student competition this year, Ma Sui gave up on taking the 1-star great teacher examination the previous year. Yet now, you actually didn’t include his name? Are you not wasting one year of his time by doing this?”

Zhang Hanfu spoke forcefully and with justice. Ma Sui was a first-rate graduate from one of the Nine Greats, the Black-White Academy. Given his strength, he would surely pass if he were to participate in the great teacher examination.

Hence, it could be said that he had sacrificed a year of his time for the sake of the Central Province Academy.
