Chapter 839 - Practical Combat Teaching, Displaying One’s Skills!

Translator: Lordbluefire

The draconic human lunged over. When it arrived at the area three meters away from Sun Mo, its index and middle fingers stabbed out rapidly like a sharp sword.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Its fingers stabbed out thrice, tearing apart the air.

Blurred after-images surrounded Sun Mo.

“It’s the Rhino Devil Finger!”

Xiao Ri`nan exclaimed in shock.

This was a peerless heaven-tier cultivation art. Its might was extremely strong and when one trained in it to the max, one’s fingers would be like sharp arrows, capable of penetrating steel.

Naturally, the most terrifying aspect about it was that it was a mid-range attacking cultivation art.

One must know that even if a grown-up used a sword or saber, they wouldn’t be able to slash so far away. They could only barely meet the distance if they used a spear or a halberd.

Sun Mo didn’t dodge and directly brandished his wooden blade to block it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The blade and fingers collided, causing waves of qi to erupt out.

Because the speed of the two of them was extremely fast, many students could only see shadows flashing and nothing else. But this didn’t stop them from exclaiming in admiration.

Sun Mo’s insta-kill earlier defeated the enemies too quickly and they didn’t see anything. As for now, they finally understood how strong he was.

“Xianyu, when you are fighting against this type of cultivation art, you must not hide. Because an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. If you use a sword or blade and want to block it head-on, you will definitely lose in speed against a finger spear. So, the correct method is to erupt forth with your full strength and suppress your opponent, finding a chance to settle the fight at the shortest possible time.”

“Even if you might get injured, it is worth it.”

As Sun Mo defended, he gave pointers.

He mustn’t waste such a chance to gain more experience. After all, given Sun Mo’s current combat strength, if he honestly erupted forth with his full strength, this opponent would be heavily crippled even if it didn’t die. There wouldn’t be a chance for him to use it to teach Xianyu Wei.

Since it was rare for there to be a live target, Sun Mo naturally had to make use of it.

“Mn mn, I’ve remembered it.”

Xianyu Wei opened her eyes wide.

“Many people feel that the attack range of the Rhino Devil Finger at the three to four meters has the greatest destructive might. But honestly, fighting close-range with it is even more dangerous. When cultivators of this art encountered enemies they couldn’t take down in a short time, they would choose to close in the distance.”

Just after Sun Mo spoke, the draconic human bent its waist and exerted forth with its legs. It was like a sharp arrow shooting straight for Sun Mo, going in for the kill with its fingers.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

“Ah!”

Some girls were badly shocked and they screamed.

When the draconic human got into close range, Sun Mo’s wooden blade would be completely useless.

“At this moment, one absolutely must not panic or retreat. Because if you retreated, you would become a live target for the duration it takes to advance three steps. The Rhino Devil Finger is an extremely powerful attacking cultivation art and there aren’t many ultimate skills that can defend against it. Even if you managed to block it, you would still be injured. If that was the case, the battle later would be more disadvantageous for you.”

Sun Mo used himself as an example and retreated as he spoke.

As expected, even with Sun Mo’s superfast reaction, he still suffered a few blows from the draconic human. If it wasn’t for the fact he had the Invulnerable Golden Body, he would have been heavily injured.

“Heavenly deities above, Teacher Sun actually used himself as a live example?”

“Does he have to be so professional?”

“This is a draconic human. He might die if he was the slightest bit careless.”

The students were dumbstruck as they watched.

How strong was this Teacher Sun exactly?

He actually had the time to teach his student under such rapid and powerful attacks? Moreover, the effect was outstandingly good.

After seeing Sun Mo getting struck the way he predicted, everyone knew that what he said before was all words of wisdom.

“What should we do then?”

Xiao Ri`nan asked in a loud voice.

“Toss away your weapon and bind your enemy’s hands. Start a brawl.”

As Sun Mo spoke, he gave up on his weapon. He then grabbed out rapidly and caught hold of the draconic human’s wrists. After that, he jumped up and sent two flying knee strikes at the draconic human’s chest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A total of 12 chained hits.

Kacha, kacha!

The sound of bones cracking rang out, causing everyone’s scalp to turn numb. The audience could even see a protruding part that appeared on the draconic human’s back from the impact of Sun Mo’s blows.

When Sun Mo’s right knee finished the last strike, a cracking sound echoed as the two arms of the draconic human were completely dislocated from its shoulders. Its ribs were fractured and penetrated out from its back.

What was even more terrifying was when the draconic human was flung through the air from the impact, even before it landed on the ground, Sun Mo whipped a kick out at its head.

Bang!

The draconic human whose head exploded was blasted through the air. It then shattered into motes of light before disappearing.

Sun Mo stood steadily and adjusted his breathing.

He waited for the next draconic human to spawn.

The entire place was silent. After the time it took for ten breaths had passed, someone finally spoke.

“Damn!”

Let alone the students, even the great teachers who had vast experiences felt their hearts trembling as they were awed by the combat earlier.

This was too impressive.

What godly constitution did Teacher Sun have?

How strong!

“Why would he still need to use cultivation arts? Just with his body alone, he can kill many enemies.”

Xiao Ri`nan was envious.

Mei Ziyu clapped softly. She really felt like saying ‘please be calm, this is just Sun Mo’s normal performance. He hasn’t done anything impressive yet.’

“This...”

Duanmu Li was speechless. He had wanted to see if this draconic human could test Sun Mo’s depth. But in the end, the draconic human was like a freebie.

“You are misleading students. You can win against it barehanded because your eruption might is extremely good. If it was any of us, we would die immediately when we throw our weapons away.”

Wanyan Zhenghe wanted to stir trouble.

But sadly, no one was in agreement with him. After all, there were no fools here. Sun Mo was providing teaching on the spot, and he couldn’t enact all possible battle scenarios, but his choice was undoubtedly the most optimal one.

“Those who are not idiots will be able to judge their opponent’s strength during the first exchange of blows. If you cannot win, can’t you simply flee?”

Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance, “Moreover, those who can force experts who know the Rhino Devil Finger cultivation art into close combat wouldn’t be weak. If they use my battle strategy, as long as they are bold and careful, they will definitely be able to win.”

“After all, all the combat strength of the enemy lies in their hands. If you seal their wrists, you have a 90% chance of winning.”

Pak! Pak! Pak!

The spectators started to applaud. They had benefited a lot from this battle, but very soon, they quickly stopped because the next draconic human had spawned.

(With a long spear in my hand, the world is mine!)

The draconic human pierced out with a spear whose momentum was akin to a flood dragon emerging from the ocean, sweeping everything aside.

Wanyan Zhenghe was embarrassed by Sun Mo’s lecturing of him, but luckily at this moment, everyone started to focus on Sun Mo’s fight again and completely forgot about him.

“Don’t assume that this draconic human is good at attacking because of its ferocious charge. It’s actually skilled in defense. This is because it cultivated the Stable Dragon Spear Art.”

Sun Mo welcomed the attack as he introduced it to everyone.

“Don’t be scared off by your opponent’s momentum. You guys should attack with an even fiercer attitude instead. If you can gnash your teeth and let anger overwhelm your thinking, it would be even better. Because if your opponent is a human, they would panic. After all, who doesn’t fear death?”

After Sun Mo spoke, laughter rang out everywhere.

“Teacher Sun is so humorous!”

A female student’s eyes were wide open as they shone brilliantly. She felt that Teacher Sun’s bearing was so excellent.

Ding!

Favorable impression points from a random girl +100. Friendly (350/1,000).

“The Stable Dragon Spear Art emphasizes on defense. The practitioner must have sturdy legs and train in balance for eight or ten years. Hence, don’t even dream about trying to break their balance. The correct method is for you to roam around. If your speed is very quick, congratulations then, you have a 60% chance of winning in this battle.”

Sun Mo educated.

“If you want to train in the Stable Dragon Spear Art, you have to practice the horse stance normally and slowly transition to practicing the horse stance on wooden logs. When your stability and balance are sturdy enough, your speed will naturally be ‘crippled’.

“There are no perfect cultivation arts in this world. Always pay attention to your opponent’s flaws and wait for an opportunity.”

As Sun Mo spoke, the draconic human had its head exploded by Sun Mo who shifted and appeared behind it.

“The Stable Dragon Spear Art is an average-grade saint-tier cultivation art because its defense is overpowered. But truthfully speaking, its flaws are also clear with a single glance. It’s best for you guys not to train in this.”

Sun Mo reminded them out of goodwill.

Pak! Pak! Pak!

Applause rang out again.

Wanyan Zhenghe bit his lips until they bled. He was so angry he wanted to cough up blood. He came here to stir up trouble, but he couldn’t find anything. After all, Sun Mo’s performance was simply perfect.

The next round began again.

The great teachers in the other three areas also stopped their fights and came over to watch.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another draconic human was killed.

Sun Mo was not under any pressure and he even had the mood to teach the students.

The incomparably ferocious and savage draconic humans in the eyes of everyone became live targets and were crushed so badly to the point where no one could bear to watch.

The students even felt pity for them.

(Are there draconic humans that are difficult to beat?)

Yes!

For example, this draconic human had thorns growing all over its body and being shrouded by a poisonous mist...there was basically no way for people to attack it. Originally, Sun Mo could use the Myriad Manifestations Spirit Wave Art to insta-kill it, but for the sake of teaching, he chose to use his wooden blade to gain victory.

“At this moment, this situation displayed the importance of alchemy pills. Even if you have to spend money, you have to try your best to prepare one or two detoxification pills.”

Sun Mo smiled. “Naturally, if you lack money, come and learn botany. For example, for this toxin, if you mix the juice of hops and ironjasper flower seed and consume the mixture, the toxin will be cured.”

“Right, I’m currently giving a lecture everyday afternoon at the #302 classroom on botany. Everyone can come by and listen if you are free.”

Sun Mo took the chance to advertise.

“Teacher, don’t advertise like this to get students!”

A student teased him.

“How ignorant, does Teacher Sun still need to get students? Do you know that for his lectures, if you didn’t go two hours in advance to get seats, there would basically be no seats?”

“So popular?”

“Teacher Sun, please don’t advertise anymore. It’s already so difficult to get a seat if we want to attend your lectures now.”

The students grumbled.

“Maybe we can get the school to change to a bigger classroom for Teacher Sun?”

A male student suggested.

“You have never attended Teacher Sun’s lecture before, right?”

Everyone mocked.

The male student started. (How did you guys know?)

“Bro, the current classroom Teacher Sun is using is a 500-pax lecture theater. How to upsize it further?”

The school naturally had even larger classrooms, but those were reserved for great teachers who were 6-star and above or grandmasters of various professions. Sun Mo was merely an intern teacher, so he wasn’t qualified enough to use them yet.

But if he continued having such an attendance rate, he most probably would be qualified very soon.

Sun Mo’s speed clearing challenge still continued, but he no longer taught.

“Why doesn’t he continue teaching?”

Several students felt regret.

“Because you guys wouldn’t understand fights at this level.”

Duanmu Li chortled. Even if Sun Mo explained his actions, the students wouldn’t be able to understand such a high-end battle. Hence, he couldn’t be bothered to speak.

For combat at this level, it was no longer the mere execution of cultivation art. Various tactics and psychological battles had to be included.

Combat wasn’t simply a boring process of fist hitting flesh. It was an art.

Hence, Duanmu Li was so mesmerized until his eyes glowed.

This was because Sun Mo’s fight was simply too delightful to look at. It was like a gorgeous opera.

The students didn’t know about this, but it didn’t obstruct them from being focused as they watched in admiration. This was because it was like watching an action flick from America.

It was fine if the audience didn’t understand the story. As long as there were beautiful and explosive special effects during intense fighting and causing the audience to feel high, it was enough.
