Sun Mo's reputation was at its peak now, so there was no need for him to have a reputational battle with Zhou Shengren, but he still agreed.
Only by defeating Zhou Shengren and making him apologize can Xiaobao truly untie his knot. Moreover, this man can be regarded as his old enemy. By defeating him openly on the 'battlefield', Sun Mo will be able to look down on him and have no rival in the world.
"Those two will rest first. In three days, they will go to the main square to choose students!"
Seeing Sun Mo agree, Xu Chunbo immediately announced.
"Sun Yasheng, see you then!"
Saint Zhou cupped his hands, turned around and left, followed by a large group of relatives and friends.
"Sun, you are too impulsive!"
Gu Xiuxun complained.
"You can't say that. Until now, the teacher has not only helped Ya Sheng to become a saint, but also defeated Ya Sheng, but there is no example of fighting at the level of 'saint'."
Qin Yaoguang laughed: "When the teacher kills Saint Zhou, then including the saint, he will be truly the number one master in Kyushu."
"Let Sage Zhou be the stepping stone!"
If Lu Zhiruo bumps his fists, will the teacher lose
nonexistent.
…
When the news came out that Sun Mo and Zhou Shengren were about to show off, the well-informed dignitaries immediately went crazy. They took their children and rushed to the Holy Gate immediately, even if they could kill a thousand-mile horse.
Not to mention how strict a saint is in accepting students, even if a seven-star famous teacher accepts direct disciples, they must be carefully selected.
Now, Sun Mo and Zhou Shengren each want to select three students. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Parents with children from all the cities near the Holy Gate rush here without even having time to bring dry food.
On the third day, before dawn, the main square was already overcrowded, and even several nearby blocks were packed with people, making it difficult to walk.
The staff of the Holy Gate immediately divided them into groups and worked all morning to get them in order.
At noon, Sun Mo and Zhou Shengren arrived at the main square one after the other.
Here, a three-meter-high arena has been built in advance.
"Are you two ready?"
Xu Chunbo was still the referee. When he saw the two men nodding, he loudly ordered: "Twelve-year-old children, come on stage one by one!"
"Mom, I'm afraid!"
A little boy looked at the crowded scene and was panicked and at a loss.
"Don't be afraid, if you are chosen, our family will be prosperous!"
His father looked expectant.
The parents of other children either encourage or threaten you, saying that if you don't get selected, they won't let you go, etc. They are simply full of utilitarianism.
Soon, the children formed a long snake formation and began to take the stage.
Sun Mo and Zhou Shengren stood nearby and looked at them carefully. If no one made a sound, the team would continue to move forward. If someone made a sound, the team would stop.
Seeing their children walking across the stage, neither of the two famous teachers spoke, and many parents burst into tears.
This means that their children are not qualified enough and have no chance.
Sun Mo couldn't stand it anymore as he listened to the cries and some parents started beating their children.
"Parents!"
After Sun Mo gave his blessing, his voice spread throughout the square: "This is a famous teacher competition between me and Saint Zhou. In order to win, it is natural to choose the best children, but those who are not selected does not mean that they are not good. Talent.”
"Don't you feel it's against your will to say this?"
Zhou Shengren laughed sarcastically: "In this world, mediocre people are the majority after all."
"So what? Mediocre people don't deserve to have dreams?"
Sun Mo retorted.
"The energy of a famous teacher is limited. How can you teach everyone in the world? What we have to do is to teach the most talented children and let them become leaders who lead the world forward!"
This is Zhou Shengren’s coaching philosophy.
"What a coincidence, I don't care what the world is like. I just want every student to become better. When they are old and look back on their lives, they may feel that they are not successful enough, but they will definitely not regret it and can be proud of it. To say the least, I tried my best."
This is Sun Mo's choice.
"So, your mentality is not yet mature. If you are just an ordinary famous teacher, you can do whatever you want, but you are a sub-sage and may even become a saint. Sun Mo, you are carrying the world on your shoulders, its weight. , much more important than the future of those children.”
Sage Zhou spoke with sincerity.
The famous teachers present listened silently to the two people's argument without saying a word, but in their hearts they sided with Saint Zhou.
If you spend 200% of your energy on an ordinary student, he may not be able to achieve anything, but if you teach a genius, you only need to spend 100% of your energy, and he will achieve great success.
In short, the famous teachers in Kyushu pursue elite education. The development of this world has nothing to do with ordinary people and is led by the elite.
"It's useless to talk more. Let's see the real deal!"
Sun Mo was too lazy to argue.
Ordinary people's outlook on life cannot be changed by a few words from others, let alone a saint.
The selection was still going on, but after Sun Mo comforted them, the atmosphere at the scene became much better. At least the parents, although disappointed, would not beat or scold their children.
"etc!"
Zhou Shengren was the first to speak up and asked a tall child: "What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Black Pig!"
The child opened his mouth and smiled.
"Don't call me master, call me teacher!"
Zhou Shengren frowned slightly: "I didn't ask you your nickname!"
"I don't have a name, that's what my father called me!"
Black Pig scratched his hair. He felt that this old man was so scary.
"Punch some more!"
Sage Zhou ordered.
The black pig's hands were thrown wildly, and it was just a king's punch, but it made everyone's eyes light up. This kid's physical fitness is very good.
With his muscles and frame, he looked like a martial arts genius.
"It's over, I'm going to lose silently!"
Gu Xiuxun was anxious, and she also learned her lesson. Since she couldn't pronounce Sun Mo's full name, she changed it to a nickname.
"That's right, what results can students achieve in three months of teaching? It mainly depends on their own potential and fighting spirit!"
Li Ziqi was furious: "Although this black pig has taken a bath and changed into clean clothes, there is still a faint smell of blood on his body. He is clearly a pig butcher. This kind of child must be more vicious and ruthless!"
An Xinhui, Mei Ziyu and others looked more and more unsightly. At first glance, this child seemed to be the kind of fierce general who could defeat thousands of others.
"Sun Yasheng, I am your elder, I should let you choose first. If you like him, just take it!"
Zhou Sage waved with one hand, showing great magnanimity.
Xu Chunbo glanced at Zhou Shengren and shook his head imperceptibly.
This old guy is very scheming.
Sun Mo wanted to save face, so he would definitely not take advantage of this. And even if he wanted to, he would not dare, because if Zhou Sage lost, it could be said that he had chosen this black pig first.
"No need!"
Sun Mo really refused.
Twelve-year-old children are still on stage. They can be younger, but not older.
"My son has been chosen! My son has been chosen!"
Black Pig's father was ecstatic and shouted loudly, which also attracted the envious and jealous eyes of many people.
Time passed by minute by second, and seeing the remaining team getting shorter and shorter, Xian Yuwei became a little anxious: "What if I don't get the child I want?"
She and Helian Beifang arrived in the past two days.
"According to the usual practice, the teacher can only choose one child, or abstain, and does not have the right to find another wave of children."
Qin Yaoguang popular science.
"Sun Yasheng, if you don't have any children you like, I allow you to change to another group of students!"
The more Zhou Shengren sees Black Pig, the more satisfied he becomes. If he performs well, he can be accepted as his direct disciple.
Sun Mo ignored him, but looked at the children. This time, he tried the Divine Insight Technique. It worked, but it didn't work. If he wanted to win, he had to win flawlessly.
Finally, a thin little girl appeared in front of Sun Mo. Her face was dirty and her clothes were patched, but her eyes were particularly alert and she glanced around.
When she noticed Sun Mo looking at her, she secretly stuck out her tongue and made a face.
This is a cheerful little girl.
"what's your name?"
As Sun Mo asked, everyone's eyes turned to him, wanting to see Sun Mo's candidate for the dance. After all, Sun Mo could make a 'waste' like Li Ziqi famous all over the world. Famous teacher.
"My name is briquettes!"
The little girl's voice was not pleasant and a little hoarse: "Uncle, you choose me. No matter what you ask me to do, I can do it well!"
"What makes you think you can do it well?"
Sun Mo asked with a smile.
"Because I am willing to endure hardship!"
Coal Ball rolled up her sleeves, revealing her arms: "Don't look at me because I'm thin. I can pull a lot of coal every time. My mother said I'm better than boys."
In fact, Sun Mo had already figured out the origin of this little girl through the coal dust between his fingers, as well as the teeth, skin color and bone shape. She was a child coal mining worker.
Modern coal mining is still a very dangerous job, not to mention the ancient Kyushu with underdeveloped productivity. Every time you go down the mine, it is a life or death.
But apart from coal mining, these people have no job to support their families.
A more dangerous job than coal mining for adults is coal mining by children. In order to save money, coal bosses often dig half-meter-thick tunnels for children to climb in and then mine coal.
Their working equipment is a shovel, a large basket dragged behind the back with a rope, and a coal bowl that can be hung by the mouth.
The so-called coal bowl is a plate with some lamp oil poured in it and a twister placed inside. When going down the well, you must bite it all the way and not let go, otherwise you will have to work in the dark if it knocks over.
This is why Sun Mo could tell at a glance that this little girl was a child coal miner, because her teeth were deformed from holding a coal bowl in her mouth for many years.
"Uncle, choose me!"
Coal Ball sniffed, his big eyes flickering, very spiritual.
"How many years have you been in the well?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"Three years!"
Briquettes was very proud: "I am the most experienced shearer in the town!"
Many famous teachers frowned, and Xu Chunbo even cursed: "Let such a young child mine coal. His behavior is shameful and his heart is to be punished!"
