Headmaster Wei was placed in a difficult position.

Once they lost the title of a famous school, then Haizhou Academys reputation would plunge greatly. If the teachers were headhunted, then thered be a high chance that they would leave.

This was how reality was. You would either give a great teacher a good platform to increase their reputation or pay them high salaries.

It was impossible to shine by relying on love.

No, I mustnt let Haizhou fall!

With his many years of experience, Headmaster Wei thought of a plan.

Although his heart ached because his nephew was killed, he mustnt focus on this for now. What they needed was to perform well in the remaining rounds.

At the same time, he could observe Sun Mo. If this guy continued to show outstanding performance, then itd prove that he was a genius and that they were the lacking ones. If he didnt show a good performance, then it wouldnt be too late for Headmaster Wei to request a thorough investigation then!

After thinking things through, Headmaster Wei swung his hand and left. Hmph, I dont wish for you to have an excuse after you lose the third round of the competition. Well talk about this after the league tournament is over!

F*ck, this old guy is really sly!

The few headmasters didnt expect Headmaster Wei to suddenly become smart and hard to handle. Just as they were wrecking their brains out, Sun Mo spoke up.

Hold on!

Sun Mo questioned, Did I say you can leave?

Swoosh!

All the spectators gazes landed on Sun Mo. This guy was really headstrong!

Zhang Hanfu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Headmaster Wei stopped pursuing the matter. However, Sun Mos words caused his heart to thump uneasily again.

Teacher Sun, why dont we talk less?

Zhang Hanfu persuaded. Headmaster Wei was a 5-star great teacher, so it was better not to offend him if they could help it.

Vice-headmaster Zhang, just because youre used to kneeling, do you think that others should kneel as well?

Sun Mo asked. His voice wasnt loud, but it was like a shocking thunder on a clear day to Zhang Hanfu. It shook him there and then.

So what if hes a 5-star great teacher? So what if hes a headmaster? Is he allowed to recklessly tarnish someone elses reputation because of that?

Sun Mo looked at Headmaster Wei. You can either apologize to me or use your schools quotas of league tournaments to bet that I lied about my age!

Headmaster Weis lips twitched and green veins popped up on his forehead. He was an influential character in Wei Country, enjoying a great reputation and status. When had he ever received such treatment?

If it wasnt because he knew that he couldnt do this, he would kill Sun Mo with a slap.

Thats right. Even though Sun Mo isnt a great teacher, you shouldnt be treating him like that!

You cant do that even if he is a great teacher!

I think that some headmasters are used to throwing their weight around that they have already forgotten the meaning behind the words education as the foundation.

Some headmasters started to speak about Headmaster Wei sarcastically.

I dont have the time to waste here with you guys. Please quickly make a decision!

Tong Yiming urged.

Headmaster Wei might still apologize if its in private, but he cant do that in front of so many headmasters. Otherwise, he would lose all of his face. Given Sun Mos intelligence, its impossible for him to not think of this. What is he planning?

Gu Xiuxun analyzed.

Did he want money?

Just as the masochist thought of this, Li Ziqi spoke up.

Headmaster Wei, putting the apology aside, with how our teacher has been scolded and doubted by you like this, he has received mental harm. Shouldnt you be giving some compensation for that?

When Li Ziqi said this, her expression was aggrieved as if she was a young wife who had been bullied.

What rubbish was this?

Headmaster Wei wanted to say that this was preposterous, but when he looked toward Sun Mos bright eyes that were like stars staring at him, he instantly understood.

This was Sun Mos idea. If he didnt agree to it, then Sun Mo would continue to kick up a ruckus.

(Hehe, am I being threatened now?)

Headmaster Wei smiled out of fury, but in that instant, he realized that he had no other solution to resolve the current situation!

Ziqi, dont spout gibberish!

Zhang Hanfu reproached.

Vice-headmaster Zhang, youre better off going to the side and rest. They dont give a hoot about you!

Sun Mo tried to sound more polite on the account that Zhang Hanfu had tried to defend the schools reputation. Otherwise, hed have spoken out harshly.

You...

Zhang Hanfu was angry and anxious, but it was true that he was very disappointed. From the beginning until the end, Headmaster Wei hadnt paid any heed to him at all.

Headmaster Wei, even a member of our logistics team should get an apology if they had been doubted for no reason!

Gu Xiuxun said strongly.

(Good job, masochist!)

Sun Mo secretly smiled in his heart. He knew that Gu Xiuxun had realized what his plan was. That was right. He was going to extort money from Headmaster Wei.

What was the use of spoiling Haizhous reputation or causing them to be downgraded?

Getting compensation money was more practical.

Sun Mo was very happy, as Li Ziqi was too good at understanding others. After all, as the person involved, Sun Mo would be too embarrassed to ask for money himself.

How much? Headmaster Wei asked.

10 million silver taels! Li Ziqi said.

Impossible!

Headmaster Weis face turned black. He really wanted to shout why dont you ask me to die instead? However, as someone with great experience in society, he understood that the other party was just calling an exaggerated price. He could still try to fight for a lower price.

Three million taels!

Gu Xiuxun brought up a price while secretly checking out Sun Mos expression. She felt that this wasnt a small sum.

Headmaster Wei wanted to reject. It wasnt a large sum of money, but money also wasnt something that came by out of nowhere. Moreover, he hadnt gotten anything good this time around. It would be very upsetting if he still had to fork out money.

Headmaster Wei, this isnt a lot of money, and we arent expecting to use it for our families livelihoods. Its just a formality. If you continue to kick up a fuss, the Central Province Academy wouldnt be the one embarrassed.

Li Ziqi persuaded.

As Haizhous headmaster, when you conduct a lecture and say some words, youll definitely earn more than this, right?

Upon hearing this, the words that almost came out from Headmaster Weis mouth was swallowed back. That was right. Things were already too shameful for him. So what if he managed to reduce the compensation by one million taels after kicking up a fuss?

Since people were already treating him like a monkey, he might as well leave quickly.

Ill get someone to send over the money. But remember, this isnt compensation money. Its my apology for having disturbed your schools students from their rest!

Headmaster Wei said clearly, This matter isnt over yet. After the league tournament is over, Ill request for the Saint Gate to conduct a thorough investigation. I hope that your performance will continue to be just as outstanding!

After saying that, Headmaster Wei left.

This headmaster isnt bad!

Zhao Zhi felt that Headmaster Wei had spoken impressively.

Forget it, hes just finding a way out of this embarrassing situation. The money is just compensation for Teacher to come to a compromise!

Tantai Yutang rolled his eyes.

Ziqi, youre quite good!

Gu Xiuxun praised. She didnt expect Li Ziqi to know of such political plays despite her young age.

If Gu Xiuxun were in her shoes, shed definitely continue to put up an argument on the compensation amount. However, Li Ziqi didnt do that. She used a reason to let Headmaster Wei give way.

As expected of a member of a royal clan!

Gu Xiuxun was really envious of Sun Mo. Not only was Li Ziqi a pleasant sight to see, but she was also sensible. She was like a considerate little manager.

You did very well!

Tong Yiming gave a word of praise and then left.

The spectating headmasters didnt expect Headmaster Wei to lose and even end up paying three million taels after kicking up a big fuss.

This Sun Mo wasnt a simple character!

Teacher Sun, do you want to join our Sky Orchid Academy?

Headmaster Zhang smiled and asked.

Hearing this, the students immediately became anxious.

At the sight of this scene, Headmaster Zhang, who had only said this as a joke, was tempted. Sun Mo must have his capabilities to be so loved by the students.

Thank you for your kindness, Headmaster Zhang. But Im very happy at the Central Province Academy!

Sun Mo refused.

Gu Xiuxun chuckled. Sun Mo was considered half an owner of the Central Province Academy. Was there a need for him to go to the Sky Orchid to be a teacher?

The headmasters left. They decided to remind their student groups to avoid the Central Province Academy for the next round of the competition.

...

The outsiders had all left. Sun Mo took a look around and smiled.

Come, lets go for a big meal. Someone is treating us anyway!

Haha!

Everyone laughed. It was three million taels. How many great meals could they have with that?

At the same time, Sun Mos prestige rose to a peak once again.

After a sumptuous meal, Sun Mo returned to his room.

System, open up the system shopping store!

Sun Mo instructed.

Swoosh!

The shopping racks were displayed!

Many skill books were enveloped by golden light at the very top.

Purchase Complete Focus!

Sun Mo felt like someone spending money lavishly.

Ding!

Successful expenditure! The skill book has entered your storage cabinet!

Sun Mo took it out and after admiring it for a bit, he shattered it.

The fine golden light spots were like fireflies in the summer, drifting around and then darting into Sun Mos forehead.

Many profound and mysterious knowledge was being engraved into his mind.

Ding!

Congratulations, youve grasped the great teacher halo, Complete Focus. Proficiency index, elementary-grade.

After releasing it, you can make the target abandon all distracting thoughts for an hour. They will forcibly enter a condition of complete focus, and their learning efficiency will increase tremendously.

Sun Mo studied this halo and realized that this was a great treasure for students. If he were to throw out a Complete Focus halo, even an underachieving student who hated studying would study diligently.

It was equally suitable to be applied to good students.

Learning was too much hard work and anyone would go through times when theyd procrastinate. However, once Complete Focus was thrown out, itd resolve the problem perfectly.

Sun Mo couldnt hold it in. He raised his hand and applied it to himself, but it turned out to be a tragedy.

Swoosh!

After the golden halo flashed by, Sun Mo anxiously wanted to study. That feeling was more intense than the urge to masturbate. He couldnt hold it in at all.

It was only until Sun Mo had taken out a book and started reading it that the anxiety in his heart started to calm down.

In this one hour, Sun Mo did think of other things but was immediately corrected by the impulse of wanting to study.

When the effect disappeared, Sun Mo drew in a cold gasp. This halo was too terrifying.

System, open up the system shopping store!

Sun Mo was going to take a look at the other great teacher halos!
