Su Mo turned her head and calmly reminded the referee who was still in a daze.
"Oh oh oh!"
The referee, finally snapping out of his daze, hurriedly announced the result of the match: "I declare the match over, and Su Mo from Donghai Academy is the winner!"
Almost the instant the referee announced the result of the match, Su Mo dispelled the illusion on Liu Zhao.
What just happened?
Upon hearing the referee announce the result of the match, Liu Zhao, now fully awake, looked completely bewildered and had no recollection of what had just happened.
"So you're a spirit-type Soul Master! No wonder you dared to challenge me."
As the two looked on in confusion, a cold voice suddenly came from afar.
The two looked in the direction of the voice, and their expressions changed drastically upon seeing the speaker. Almost instinctively, they called out the person's name, "Yu Longxin!!!"
In this Tianjin Tianhai competition, whose name is the most prominent and eye-catching?
The one that stands out is Yu Longxin from Shrek Academy, who wiped out the entire Tianhai team in one move.
Yu Longxin ignored the shock on their faces and instead narrowed her eyes to carefully examine Su Mo.
As a disciple of Shrek Academy, Yu Longxin kept the principle of "even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit" firmly in mind.
Even though his cultivation level completely surpassed Su Mo's, he still chose to come and inquire about Su Mo's martial soul information.
Su Mo ignored Yu Longxin, jumped off the stage, passed Yu Longxin, and headed straight for the hotel.
Seeing that Su Mo completely ignored him, Yu Longxin's expression suddenly stiffened. As he brushed past Su Mo, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm really looking forward to our match tomorrow!"
However, Su Mo remained unmoved.
Su Mo's unyielding attitude instantly made Yu Longxin feel like a clown, causing him to break down.
"I hope you won't withdraw from the competition tomorrow!"
Watching Su Mo's departing figure, Yu Longxin could only utter these words to save face.
"Did you hear it?"
Liu Zhao and the referee looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
What did they hear?
Yu Longxin, a genius disciple from Shrek Academy, actually challenged a little-known student from East Sea Academy to a duel!
Yu Longxin's challenge to Su Mo spread like wildfire among the various academies participating in the Tianhai Grand Competition.
In just half an hour, the previously unknown name "Su Mo" became the hottest topic of the entire event.
……
Su Mo had just stepped out of the clubhouse when he was stopped by an unexpected person.
"Aunt Bao'er, is there something you need from me?"
Looking at Yuan Bao'er who had stopped him, Su Mo was a little confused, wondering why Yuan Bao'er had suddenly come to him out of nowhere.
Upon hearing Su Mo address her as "Auntie," Yuan Bao'er immediately puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, saying, "Call me Sister Bao'er! Little Su Mo!"
After saying that, he reached out to pinch Su Mo's cheek.
Faced with the overly familiar Yuan Bao'er, Su Mo calmly took a step back, dodging Yuan Bao'er's outstretched claws.
"Sister Bao'er, is there something you need?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yuanbao's face as she grabbed at empty air, but she quickly pretended to be nonchalant and dusted off her clothes.
"Su Mo, become my apprentice and learn forging from me!"
Yuan Bao'er opened her palm and extended it in front of Su Mo, extending an invitation to him with a smile.
"No! I have no intention of becoming a blacksmith."
Su Mo rejected Yuan Bao'er without even thinking.
However, Su Mo didn't really want to reject Yuan Bao'er; he just wanted to tease her a bit and test her determination to take on a disciple.
Among the three senior and junior siblings, Yuan Bao'er, Mu Chen, and Zhen Hua, Yuan Bao'er is actually the most suitable for me.
However, Yuan Bao'er was a lazy bum and Zhen Hua was difficult to approach, so Su Mo settled for Mu Chen as a second choice.
Now that Yuan Bao'er has taken the initiative to offer to take him as her disciple, Su Mo is naturally more than happy to accept.
Despite Yuanbao's mediocre forging skills, his connections are absolutely top-notch.
Once you become Yuan Bao'er's apprentice, you can enjoy the care and guidance of both Mu Chen and Zhen Hua.
"Why don't you want to become a blacksmith? I can clearly see that you have such a talent for blacksmithing."
Yuan Bao'er didn't quite understand why Su Mo, with such great forging talent, refused to become a blacksmith.
After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Su Mo replied without hesitation, "Because I think forging is too boring. It's the same work every day!"
"!!!"
Su Mo's answer made Yuan Bao'er's eyes light up. She grabbed Su Mo's arm and said excitedly, "That's exactly why you should become my disciple!"
"As long as you become my apprentice, I can assure you that I will never force you to engage in forging or learning."
Yuanbao started giving up because he suddenly felt that forging was a boring thing, and he was doing tedious and repetitive work every day.
On the way here, Yuan Bao'er was even having a headache about how to train Su Mo after taking him as her disciple.
If she were to train Su Mo the way Mu Chen trained Tang Wulin, it would be better to just kill her.
Hearing Su Mo say this, Yuan Bao'er felt a sudden sense of relief.
Tanking is good, that's exactly what we need in our disciples who can tame others.
"Then why did you take me as your apprentice, Sister Bao'er?"
Su Mo asked, puzzled.
Generally speaking, blacksmiths take on apprentices in order to pass on their skills and knowledge.
It's really strange that Yuan Bao'er would take on disciples even though he doesn't expect them to inherit his mantle.
Yuan Bao'er blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Because you have good talent!"
"What if I just give you a few pointers and you suddenly become a master craftsman? Wouldn't that be a huge win for me?"
"And even if you achieve nothing, I'm not at a loss for taking in such a good-looking and pleasing disciple."
Yuan Bao'er's words were so reasonable and well-founded that Su Mo couldn't find any fault with them for a moment.
Seeing that Su Mo was somewhat tempted, Yuan Bao'er grabbed Su Mo's arm and said coquettishly, "Little Su Mo, just agree!"
"This is the first time I've taken on a disciple. How can you really bear to refuse me?"
"Are they really mother and daughter?"
Seeing Yuanbao'er's large tears welling up in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful, Su Mo muttered something under her breath.
The personality differences between Mu Xi and Yuan Bao'er, this mother and daughter, are simply too great.
If it weren't for the fact that Mu Xi and Yuan Bao'er looked seven or eight points alike, Su Mo would have doubted whether Mu Xi was actually Yuan Bao'er's biological daughter.
In the end, Su Mo had no choice but to give up.
"I agree, okay?"
"Really?"
Yuan Bao'er's eyes lit up, and she cheered excitedly, "Great! I finally have an apprentice!!!"
I'm stuck on this part, so this is the best I can do.
Chapter 134 Is this difficult?
Yuan Bao'er was overjoyed to have successfully taken Su Mo as her apprentice. She patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said generously, "Let's go to the hotel and have a big meal to celebrate. I'll ask you for a gift later."
Although she took Su Mo as her disciple, she wanted to help Mu Xi.
But no matter what, Su Mo is her first disciple, and most likely she will be her last.
No matter what she said, she was determined to get Su Mo some good things.
"Ok!"
Su Mo nodded, not refusing Yuan Bao'er's kindness.
The two walked slowly toward the Ragnar Hotel, one after the other.
……
"Junior!!!"
As soon as Su Mo stepped into the hotel, Mu Xi, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately came up to him warmly and naturally took his arm.
Because she didn't register for the individual competition, Mu Xi was arguably the first one to return among the group.
After finishing the forging competition, he returned to the hotel to wait for Su Mo.
Seeing Mu Xi's fiery enthusiasm, Su Mo shook his head, gesturing for her to look behind him.
"what happened?"
Mu Xi muttered something under her breath, then looked in the direction Su Mo indicated.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Looking at Yuanbao'er behind Su Mo, Mu Xi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Yuan Bao'er ignored Mu Xi and instead smiled as she looked at Mu Xi's arm that was linked with Su Mo's.
Faced with Yuan Bao'er's meaningful scrutinizing gaze, a blush uncontrollably appeared on Mu Xi's fair and delicate face.
Then, as if she had been electrocuted, Mu Xi released her arm from Su Mo's and explained helplessly, "Um... Mom, Su Mo and I are just close friends... We are completely innocent."
Seeing Mu Xi's face flushed red as she tried her best to defend herself, Yuan Bao'er's face was practically overflowing with disgust.
With her illustrious reputation, how could she have given birth to such a foolish daughter as Mu Xi?
This must all be Mu Chen's fault!
