Eighth Hundred Sixty-Fourth Chapter, Many Unrighteous

Sun Mo’s words were like a clap of thunder, resounding clearly in everyone’s ears.

Everyone was stunned.

Did Sun Mo say that his students’ grades were not good?

Are you joking?

Li Ziqi and Lu Ziqian, as well as Tantai Yutang and Xuanyuan Po, are all on the White Cloud Rankings!

In fact, the entire class has above-average strength among their peers in the Middle-Earth Nine Provinces.

Even in the Great Desolation, their cultivation level is considered good.

However, when Sun Mo said it, no one felt it was pretentious.

This was the insight of a great teacher!

Just like how a master artist can see the flaws in a painting that others cannot.

Because they have a broader vision and higher standards.

Of course, the most crucial part was the students’ reaction.

Li Ziqi and the others did not show any unwillingness or dissatisfaction. Instead, they were thoughtful, as if they felt the same way.

This caused the surrounding onlookers to be even more shocked.

Is this the strength of the personal disciples of a 4-star great teacher?

Their ability to recognize the gaps between themselves and their peers, and their ability to learn, are all top-notch!

“Sun-laoshi, you are too strict!”

Shi Meng couldn’t help but defend his classmates. “We are already very strong!”

“Yes!”

Feng Zhaofeng nodded.

Sun Mo glanced at Shi Meng, then looked at the others.

“Do you think you are strong?”

Sun Mo asked.

The students hesitated and did not answer. They knew that Sun Mo was hinting at something.

“Your achievements so far are because you joined the Central Plains Academy,” Sun Mo explained. “Because of the opportunities provided by the school, because you received training from me, and because of your extraordinary talent, you have reached this level.”

“But if you are thrown into the wild and forced to survive in this cruel Great Desolation, without my guidance, without the school’s resources, how much can you achieve?”

Sun Mo’s tone was calm, but his words were like a sharp sword, piercing into the hearts of his students.

Compared to the truly strong, they were still too weak.

Take the example of the two young men who just left.

Although they looked dirty and unkempt, their cultivation level was at the fourth level of the Divine Force Realm!

They were only in their early twenties.

If they were students of a school, they would definitely be the core disciples!

Looking back at Sun Mo’s students, only Xuanyuan Po had reached the third level of the Divine Force Realm.

They still had a long way to go!

“Perhaps the reason why they are unrighteous is because they were forced to be by life?”

Xianyu Wei said, feeling a bit emotional.

In this world, there are always too many involuntary actions.

Sun Mo nodded.

“The Great Desolation is very big, and there are many things that are not right!”

Sun Mo looked at the boundless desert in the distance, his voice filled with a hint of melancholy.

The system’s main mission was to make the Great Desolation a paradise, but with his current ability, it was still too difficult.

First of all, the world is too big.

Second, the races and tribes here are too complex. It is easy to get into conflicts and wars.

Third, even if everyone is full, there will still be injustices.

Because human nature is greedy and selfish.

Li Ziqi bit her lip. She could feel Sun Mo’s heavy emotions.

“Teacher, no matter how difficult, we will accompany you!”

Lu Ziqian spoke softly.

Her face was pale, but her eyes were firm.

After she cultivated the Ice Spirit Divine Art, she became more mature and emotionally stable.

Before that, she was too simple and pure, like a piece of white paper.

“That’s right! Teacher, let’s work together!”

Tantai Yutang coughed twice.

“There is strength in numbers!”

Xuanyuan Po also shouted. He felt that this kind of thing was very cool. It felt like forming a team to fight a boss.

“Teacher, I will definitely improve myself quickly, so that I can help you!”

Xianyu Wei clenched her fists.

The other students also expressed their determination.

Seeing the students’ serious and determined expressions, Sun Mo’s heart felt warm.

He believed that they would definitely be able to do it.

Because he could clearly feel their sincerity and determination.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Sun Mo smiled.

The group continued their journey.

They rode in a carriage and moved forward slowly.

The horse carriage was custom-made. It was very spacious and had several compartments, making it comfortable to sleep in.

The outside was decorated with various protective formations and divine patterns. Although it couldn’t withstand the siege of a hundred thousand troops, it was enough to resist powerful enemies at the Divine Force Realm level.

Most importantly, it was driven by puppets.

This saved a lot of time and energy.

Along the way, the students did not waste a single moment. They cultivated every day.

The desert at night was extremely cold, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. This was a harsh environment.

But the students endured it.

Because they wanted to become stronger!

Because they wanted to help Sun Mo!

Sun Mo did not disturb them, but observed their cultivation in secret.

He would give them pointers when they encountered difficulties.

When the weather was good, he would also give lectures to them.

After all, there were many ancient tribes here, and some unique customs.

These were precious experiences.

With Sun Mo’s guidance, the students’ cultivation speed was very fast.

Their comprehension of the Great Desolation became deeper and deeper.

After half a month, they arrived at a small city called Gu Ya.

This was a small city in the desert, established by a tribe called the Black Sand Tribe.

The houses were made of black sand and mud.

Although it was not very strong, it was resistant to corrosion and protected against the wind and sand.

Gu Ya City was not very big, but it was quite lively.

It was a transit point for caravans.

Many caravans stopped here to rest and resupply.

Of course, there were also many adventurers and mercenaries who came here to take on missions.

Sun Mo and his group looked like a caravan.

But no one dared to provoke them.

Because Sun Mo and his students were all young and handsome, and their clothes were not ordinary.

More importantly, their cultivation level was not low.

The few bodyguards they brought with them were also strong.

The Black Sand Tribe people were straightforward. They knew that these people were not to be messed with, so they did not cause trouble.

Gu Ya City had a slave market.

This was a characteristic of the Great Desolation.

Many defeated tribes were sold as slaves.

Some of the defeated tribes were even eaten!

This was a cruel world.

Sun Mo and his group walked into the city and found a clean inn to stay in.

After settling down, Sun Mo went out to explore the city.

He wanted to understand the local customs and the situation of the surrounding tribes.

In the slave market, Sun Mo saw many different races and tribes.

Some of them had unique appearances, different from the Central Plains people.

Some had animal characteristics, such as cat ears and tails.

Some had horns on their heads.

Some were tall and strong.

Some were short and agile.

The slaves were divided into grades.

The stronger the slave, the higher the price.

The more talented the slave, the higher the price.

Some slaves were even sold as commodities.

They were used for labor, for fighting, and even for pleasure.

Sun Mo felt a knot in his stomach.

This kind of thing was too common in the Great Desolation.

He had to change it!

He wanted to make the Great Desolation a better place.

He had to succeed!

He had to save these people!

However, how could he do it?

He was just a great teacher.

He couldn’t save everyone.

He could only do his best.

He could only influence the people around him.

He could only teach his students to be kind and righteous.

He could only hope that his students would spread his ideas and change the world.

Sun Mo sighed.

He knew that this was a long and difficult road.

But he would not give up.

He would keep moving forward.

He would keep trying.

He would keep fighting.

For the Great Desolation.

For the people here.

For a better world.

Sun Mo walked around the slave market for a while, observing the slaves and the buyers.

He saw a young girl with beautiful eyes and a pure heart.

She was being sold as a pleasure slave.

Sun Mo couldn’t bear it.

He walked up to the owner and bought her.

He took her back to the inn and gave her some food and water.

The girl was very scared, but she was also very grateful.

She knew that Sun Mo had saved her.

Sun Mo told her that he would help her.

He would teach her how to protect herself.

He would help her find a place to belong.

The girl’s eyes welled up with tears.

She thanked Sun Mo again and again.

Sun Mo smiled.

He knew that he couldn’t save everyone.

But he could save this one girl.

And that was enough.

He would continue to do his best.

He would continue to fight for a better world.
