Chapter 1080: Eldest Martial Sister Is Amazing!

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Shi Liu’s disciple Yu Guoguang against Sun Mo’s disciple Li Ziqi!”

The moment Tong Yiming announced this, the entire martial dojo fell silent. All the audience turned to look toward the arena.

When a young girl got on, everyone revealed an “as expected” expression.

She was very young as well!

“To think that Sun Mo arranged three youngsters to get on the arena, he is really broad-minded. Why didn’t he send a few older and more experienced disciples to take part in the battles?”

A rich man couldn’t understand Sun Mo’s decision.

When Gu Xiuxun heard this, she immediately turned her head and smiled. “You’re mistaken about this. It isn’t that he doesn’t wish to, but that he doesn’t have any at all. Great Teacher Sun himself is only 22 years old.”

“Huh?” The rich man was surprised. “He’s that young?”

When the audience nearby heard the masochist’s words, all of them looked baffled too. Most participants who signed up for the 4-star great teacher examination were great teachers in their forties or fifties.

Even those in their thirties were considered very rare.

“Great Teacher Sun has gained three stars consecutively in a year, also being a three-time champion. He’s now striving to get the fourth.”

Gu Xiuxun explained.

Murong Mingyue threw the masochist a glance. (Why are you wearing an expression as if you’re sharing his glory? The happy one should be An Xinhui, Sun Mo’s childhood friend and fiancée, right? Do you guys secretly have an affair?)

“So that’s how it is!”

The rich man nodded. He looked at Gu Xiuxun’s dignified beauty and couldn’t help but lower his stance, asking, “You seem very familiar with Great Teacher Sun’s matters. You guys are…”

“We’re Great Teacher Sun’s colleagues!”

Gu Xiuxun said in a magnanimous demeanor, “The Central Province Academy is very amazing. It’s a ‘B’ grade famous school. You can let the members of your clans come to learn and visit!”

“Greetings to the great teachers, good morning!”

The rich man quickly got up and greeted them, throwing a glance while at it.

There were also An Xinhui, Mei Ziyu, and Murong Mingyue. Each of these women had their own charms and beauty.

To speak the truth, the men around them had long since been sneaking glances, trying to find ways to chat them up.

There was no helping it. Would a man be considered a man if he didn’t like to look at women?

“Good morning!”

As the headmaster, An Xinhui represented the Central Province Academy and thus couldn’t arrogantly conduct herself. However, Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue didn’t have such a reservation and paid the rich man no heed.

When An Xinhui turned her head, the rich man’s heart skipped a beat, astonished by her beauty. Thereafter, a wave of vigor filled up his entire body, and he felt that even the sun seemed brighter.

(My youth is back again!)

The rich man felt that he had fallen in love, hopelessly in love.

“If I could get to marry her, I wouldn’t mind losing 100 years to my life!”

A man at the side had just said this when the rich man slapped his big and fat hand over without thinking.

(Who the hell are you? Thinking of getting a bite? I’m willing to offer my life for her.)

“What are you doing?”

The person who was hit looked stunned. (Did I offend you?)

“You tainted my goddess!” The rich man was furious. “I want to duel you!”

“Are you crazy?”

The person who was hit flew into a rage.

No one noticed this small matter because everyone was looking at Li Ziqi, astonished by her beautiful looks and dignified demeanor.

To be so beautiful at such a young age, wouldn’t she be more amazing when she matured?

She’d definitely become a femme fatale, an unparalleled beauty who could make one act like the King You of Zhou, who ordered for fires to be lit on the beacon tower or hit war drums to summon armies. He would even make a joke out of the lords and soldiers just to bring a smile to his queen’s face.

Some people took out image-recording stones and secretly filmed Li Ziqi.

This thing was very expensive, and everyone had initially planned on recording some exciting fight scenes to admire in the future. However, many people changed their minds after seeing Li Ziqi.

Everyone used their image-recording stones to record her.

Yu Guoguang held onto his curved blade, feeling helpless as he looked at the young lady who was probably less than half his age.

Why did he encounter such an opponent?

If he were to win, it’d be expected. But if he were to lose, it’d be really embarrassing.

“Guoguang, why are you in a daze? Focus! Focus!”

Shi Liu bellowed.

He didn’t dare to let down his guard. A person’s reputation was like a tree’s shadow. Sun Mo’s eldest personal disciple was definitely very amazing, and they must have their guards up against her.

“Are you ready?”

Tong Yiming asked, raising his right hand.

Yu Guoguang nodded while Li Ziqi took off her coat.

Hmm?

Surprised gasps instantly rang out in the martial dojo.

It was because the little sunny egg was still wearing a vest over her orange-yellow martial uniform. Of course, it wasn’t strange that she was wearing a vest, but that there were many pockets sewn around the vest. There was a palm-sized wooden rod in each of the pockets, with there having about several tens of them in total.

“Is this a new kind of spiritual equipment?”

Someone guessed.

Tong Yiming was feeling puzzled too, but he still swung his right hand down and announced in a loud voice.

“Start!”

Yu Guoguang was still thinking of a battle tactic when Shi Liu was urging him frantically by the side of the arena.

“Ignore her spiritual equipment! Charge! Charge! Charge! All schemes are useless before absolute strength!”

As a great teacher, Shi Liu had plenty of battle experience.

If Li Ziqi wished to win, she could only rely on her spiritual equipment. Therefore, they’d get a sure win if she wasn’t given a chance to use her spiritual equipment.

Swoosh!

Yu Guoguang charged out.

It was a pity that it was still too late.

Before Tong Yiming announced the start of the battle, Li Ziqi had drawn out a wooden rod from a pocket at her waist. Now, she clenched it hard with her right hand, channeling in spirit qi while concurrently crushing the spirit runes on it. She then tossed it toward Yu Guoguang.

Yu Guoguang was very careful and didn’t flick the wooden rod with his curved blade. He chose to dodge instead. However, the wooden rod that was flying in the air exploded.

Baboom!

Blue electricity instantly surged, extending forward in a fan-shaped manner, like a sea of lightning. It encompassed Yu Guoguang completely.

(F*ck!)

The examinees who were on the east of the arena, where the lightning was moving toward, were so scared that they almost peed their pants. All of them did dodging actions.

Yu Guoguang was hit by the lightning. Even though he didn’t die, his body experienced numbness, pain, and some terror. In this short time, the second wooden rod exploded.

Baboom!

The lightning sea continued to erupt and flash.

Next was the third.

Then a fourth.

…

Three of them should be enough to finish up the battle, but for her teacher’s sake, Li Ziqi decided to play it safe and threw out two more.

She didn’t lack money anyway.

When the lightning sea disappeared, there was only a charred human body left on the arena.

The entire martial dojo became completely silent. Everyone was shocked.

The process of this duel was beyond expectations.

And this young girl’s way of attacking was too unbelievable.

“Guoguang!”

Shi Liu shouted loudly and slapped the arena hard.

Tong Yiming had been stunned and sizing up those wooden rods when he heard this holler. He looked over and immediately frowned. “What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and bring him to get treatment!”

Shi Liu didn’t move.

“Why? Do you think that he can continue to fight?”

Tong Yiming felt displeased.

At a time like this, Shi Liu should have called out to announce that they were forfeiting the match and rushed up to the arena to save him. However, he clearly still harbored hopes of turning the table around.

Shi Liu quickly woke up to his ideas after being lashed out, hurrying up onto the arena.

“I did hold back. Although his injuries look very serious, he should still be alive.”

Li Ziqi explained.

Shi Liu ignored Li Ziqi. When the medical team took over Yu Guoguang, he didn’t leave but look toward Tong Yiming.

“Using spiritual equipment should be against the rules, right?”

Shi Liu questioned.

Tong Yiming looked toward Li Ziqi, giving her a chance to explain herself.

“These are spirit rune rods that I engraved myself.”

Li Ziqi drew out a wooden rod and tossed it to Tong Yiming. “Equipment made by the examinees themselves can be used during battle.”

“Spirit rune rod?”

Tong Yiming looked at the complicated and beautiful prints on the wooden rod, feeling a little surprised. (Why haven’t I heard of something like this before?) “This is Great Teacher Sun’s invention?”

“Ziqi was the one who came up with the idea. I only helped her to perfect some details.”

Sun Mo explained.

Tearing spirit runes was too slow. Moreover, it was inconvenient to be using rune papers during battle. Therefore, Li Ziqi thought of the idea of drawing spirit runes on wooden rods.

The idea was similar to how some tribes had totems.

However, Sun Mo thought of hand grenades and thus gave some proposals.

“Spirit runes can be carved on wooden rods too?”

There were people below the arena who felt perplexed.

“As long as one understands the core structure, the rationale is the same regardless if it’s on paper, wooden rods, or even flower petals.”

Li Ziqi explained.

Of course, the requirement for the carving material was extremely high. In this case, spiritual plants that could naturally hold and contain spirit qi were required.

Those trees tended to be more expensive. However, problems that could be resolved with money weren’t a problem at all. After all, the little sunny egg wasn’t lacking in money.

Even if she was lacking in money, she still had Sun Mo, a rich teacher, to back her up.

“Is this explanation enough?”

Tong Yiming looked toward Shi Liu, his hidden meaning simple—Hurry up and go down. (Don’t hold up the rest of the examination. Do you think that the seven judges are blind? If there’s a problem, someone would have raised it up long ago.)

“…”

Shi Liu didn’t move.

“Let me take a look!”

An old lady who was in the judges’ seats spoke up. She was called Shen Ainu and was an ancestor-level spirit runist.

Li Ziqi immediately handed a wooden rod over.

Shen Ainu had only taken a look and she was unable to avert her gaze anymore.

“Beautiful prints, forward-thinking! It’s a masterpiece! A masterpiece!”

Shen Ainu stroked the wooden rod, saying a lot of praises.

Only someone at the ancestor level would be able to understand the advantages of such a spirit rune rod.

“Teacher Shi, your disciple didn’t lose an unjust battle.”

Shen Ainu gave an assessment.

“Even if she’s the one who invented the spirit rune rod, it’s impossible for every one of them to possess such great prowess, right?”

Shi Liu questioned.

He felt that these spirit rune rods must have been drawn by Sun Mo.

“This person can’t take a loss!”

Gu Xiuxun pouted from the spectators’ stand, feeling displeased.

“Teacher Shi, I have to remind you. Li Ziqi isn’t just Sun Mo’s student. She is also a 1-star great teacher who got full marks for the spirit runes written examination at the start of this year.”

Tong Yiming frowned. “She has broken the record that was previously held by the current Sect Lord, the youngest 1-star great teacher.”

Upon hearing this, a series of surprise gasps rang out from the spectators’ stand.

This young lady was so amazing?

“Teacher Shi, I can draw a spirit rune rod in public and assure that its prowess isn’t any weaker than the ones I have on me.”

Li Ziqi casually drew out a wooden rod, her attitude and appearance filled with confidence.

Hearing her addressing him as Teacher Shi—as if addressing one of the same seniority—Shi Liu’s lips twitched. He then lowered his head and cupped his fists together.

“You’ve won!”

After saying that, Shi Liu got off the arena and left the martial dojo.

“The competition will continue!”

Tong Yiming announced.

“Oh yay! Eldest Martial Sister is amazing!”

Lu Zhiruo cheered.
