Chapter 1183: Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting. Skilled in Both Civil and Military Aspects!

“Would there be trouble?”
Lu Zhiruo was a scaredy-cat and didn’t want to make trouble for her teacher!
“I’ll get her back!”
Jiang Leng also felt the same. But just when he reached the door to the office, Qin Yaoguang was respectfully escorted out by the gatekeeper uncle.
“Let’s go!”
Qin Yaoguang called everyone and started to head into the campus. After that, she turned and thanked the uncle.
The tourists gathered outside the school gate were immediately unhappy when they saw that this group of young people could enter. Hence, they started making noise.
“Why can they enter?”
Regardless of the school uniform Qin Yaoguang was wearing or her accent, she didn’t seem to be a student of the Westshore Military School.
“They are the personal students of Great Teacher Sun. So they naturally have the qualifications to enter!”
The gatekeeper uncle explained.
“Great Teacher Sun? Who is that?”
Someone didn’t know.
“Sun Mo. The God Hands, the great ancestor-level spirit runist, the creator of the Skyward Spirit Rune…”
The uncle revealed a series of Sun Mo’s achievements in a single breath. Because he was the gatekeeper of a famous school, he had simply seen too many proud chosens. This was why this uncle could deeply understand how impressive Sun Mo was.
Sun Mo was stronger than those chosens by an entire era!
“She says she’s Sun Mo’s personal student? I can say the same too!”
Someone was convinced.
Qin Yaoguang turned her head and revealed eight pearlie white teeth as she smiled. She didn’t argue and casually swiped her hand to cast a great teacher halo.
Swish~
Golden light flashed.
Everyone immediately felt their mental states feeling refreshed and their minds becoming clearer.
This was Encyclopedic Knowledge!
Hua~
Everyone was in an uproar.
For this great teacher halo, it was very rare for ordinary people to be able to see it, let alone the fact that it was being used by such a young person.
“Helian, why don’t you cast something too?”
Qin Yaoguang urged.
“Nope!”
The barbarian youth rejected. He didn’t like showing off.
“Che, so inflexible!’
Qin Yaoguang spoke in disdain. After that, she glanced at Lu Zhiruo. “Senior sister, come on and cast one. This is a chance to boost our teacher’s fame. We cannot allow our auras to be weakened.”
“Mn!”
The papaya girl also didn’t like to flaunt, but she knew that the greater her teacher’s fame was, the more advantageous it would be for his future. Hence, after she drew in a deep breath, she also cast a great teacher halo.
Complete Focus was activated!
The tourists still didn’t know how shocking this scene was, but the gatekeeper uncle and a few students from the Westshore Military School were all dumbfounded after seeing this.
(It can’t be, right? How old are these people merely? They have already comprehended a new halo after comprehending the self-taught halo?)
“Are they not Sun Mo’s students?”
“My heavens, this Great Teacher Sun truly does live up to his reputation!”
In an instant, Qin Yaoguang and Lu Zhiruo gained a wave of favorable impression points for Sun Mo.
“Do you see it now?”
The gatekeeper uncle swept his gaze at the crowd. “If any of you can cast a great teacher halo, I’ll allow you guys to enter too. If not, stop making noise!”
Jiang Leng and Tantai Yutang didn’t say anything, but their fists were tightly clenched to display their intentions. Although they weren’t interested in becoming a great teacher, they didn’t want to lose out in comparison.
…
In the crowd, quite a few pairs of eyes were staring at Qin Yaoguang and the others.
“Could these people be Sun Mo’s personal students? The girls are so beautiful!”
A young man was playing with a folding fan as his gaze swept past Qin Yaoguang and Xianyu Wei. But ultimately, his eyes landed on the papaya girl.
There were no solutions as she was truly ‘too large’.
Besides, her pure and innocent appearance was truly his type. It would be like a painting brush dirtying a piece of clean white paper. The feeling was simply too satisfying.
“Your highness, please speak cautiously!”
The old slave beside him knew Xiang Zhao’s temperament and quickly advised him. (It’s one thing if you want to play with ordinary girls. But these people are Sun Mo’s personal students, it’s best not to do anything to them recklessly.)
“Haha, I know what to do!”
Xiang Zhao frowned. “I heard Li Ziqi is very beautiful. I have to meet her this time around. If she is truly not too bad, I can allow her to become my princess consort!”
“Your highness, should we return to make preparations for the Five Empires War Discussion that will happen five days later?”
The old slave persuaded him.
…
Five days passed swiftly in the blink of an eye.
The first round was a battle of zither skills!
It would be held in the largest Victory Public Square in Western Jing.
The sky hadn’t turned bright yet, but this place was already packed to the brim. However, the central-most location was guarded by the royal guards. Ordinary people weren’t able to enter.
The Five Empires War Discussion was a contest on zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. It was to see which empires were the best in both the arts and martial aspects.
In the eyes of ordinary people, what aspects did someone outstanding ought to have? The Five Empires War Discussion was basically a large-scale test for these things.
Since ancient times until now, poems, stories, music, and even hunting were considered leisure interests!
In the eyes of ordinary folks, an outstanding emperor should be one with extremely high attainments in literature and arts. He should be able to scold people without using profanity and was capable of painting and fighting.
In any case, no matter what they encountered, the Emperor ought to be someone who could deal with everything!
The Five Empires War Discussion first tested the standard of a country’s skill in zither music, chess skills, calligraphy, and painting. After that, the test would be for the military strategy segment. In any case, it was a very comprehensive test.
The Great Tang’s group was the third to arrive. Lu Zhiruo and the other students were here as well because only Sun Mo’s personal students had the qualifications to sit here in the audience stand for the diplomatic groups to observe the event.
“Eldest martial sister, that fatty is so loathsome. He keeps staring at you!”
Ying Baiwu divulged.
Li Ziqi followed the gaze of the iron-headed girl and saw that in the audience stand of Chu, a young man wearing gold-colored dragon robes of a crown prince was staring at her with a frivolous expression.
“He is Xiang Zhao!”
Li Ziqi introduced.
“Doesn’t that fellow cultivate?”
Lu Zhiruo didn’t understand. As long as cultivators worked hard a little, it was impossible for them to be fat even if they wanted to.
“If I were the only prince, I also wouldn’t want to cultivate!”
Tantai Yutang chortled. “In any case, there would be no one who could vie with me for the throne.”
“Without a good body, you wouldn’t last for too long even if you became an emperor. You wouldn’t have the fortune to enjoy your fate.”
Qin Yaoguang teased.
Sun Mo glanced over after activating Divine Sight. In the end, he could only see the words ‘unknown target’. This caused his brows to furrow.
The system was truly despicable!
Sun Mo had guessed that the system wouldn’t benefit him so easily.
15 minutes had passed, but there were no signs of the diplomatic group from Great Xia at all.
“Isn’t the airs of that Xia Taikang a little too great? He dares to make so many people wait for him?”
Qin Yaoguang was unhappy.
The main thing was that the sun was too harsh. It wasn’t comfortable.
At 9.30, at the exact starting time of the opening event, Xia Kaitang then strode vigorously over while leading his diplomatic group.
Once this crown prince arrived, all the other irrelevant noises in the crowd weakened in intensity immediately.
“Truly tyrannical!”
Lu Zhiruo inhaled a breath of cold air and felt somewhat afraid.
“Look carefully. It’s said that he was born with double-pupil eyes!”
Qin Yaoguang spoke.
Double-pupil eyes simply meant that there were two pupils in an eye. Such people were described to be legendary characters that could stir the entire world.
But very soon, they no longer paid attention to him because the Qi Emperor had arrived.
The ordinary folks in the surroundings all knelt and greeted the Emperor.
“Rise!”
The Qi Emperor sat on a high throne. After that, he glanced over at the Great Tang’s area.. “Which of you is Sun Mo, Great Teacher Sun?”
