57: Chapter 57 News of Parents? Hidden Weapon and Throwing Knife Training?

Not to mention that Li Mo was currently only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, even many powerhouses of the Sixiang Realm and Heaven and Earth Realm wanted such an opportunity but had no way to ask.

"Holy crap! This is a Martial God taking a disciple! Why aren't you agreeing yet?" Hall Master Nie Meng suddenly spoke up.

Although he had a grudge against Starry Sky University, he also understood how much weight Zhang Shizong carried.

He dared to bring people to cause trouble at Starry Sky University because of the courage Li Mo had given him.

But even if he were given a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare to show the slightest hint of disobedience toward this world-top-ten Martial God.

"Yeah, Brother Li Mo, what are you hesitating for when you have such a great opportunity?" Zhao Yi chimed in.

Any normal person would think that Li Mo should set aside all grievances at this moment and weep with joy as he became a disciple.

Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu was also incredulous and muttered, "The Patriarch has actually never had a personal disciple. Li Mo, you are the very first one in three hundred years!"

It turned out that Zhang Shizong had never taken a disciple; his guidance of others' cultivation was merely guiding other people's disciples.

Of course, it wasn't that he was unwilling to take disciples.

At his age, who wouldn't want to nurture a few promising youngsters?

It was simply that no one's aptitude had ever caught his eye.

Among all the geniuses who had emerged from Starry Sky University over the past three hundred years, not a single one had been qualified to become Zhang Shizong's disciple.

Now that Zhang Shizong was shamelessly asking to take Li Mo in, it already spoke volumes about Li Mo's aptitude.

As the saying goes, even geniuses had to call him a genius.

However, to everyone's even greater disbelief, Li Mo cupped his fists toward Zhang Shizong on the other end of the phone and slowly said, "Thank you for your high regard, Elder Zhang, but I currently have no plans to take a master. So, my apologies."

Faced with the apprenticeship request from a powerhouse at the peak of the Martial God level, Li Mo actually rejected it outright!

And it was a resolute, categorical refusal!

He had barely hesitated for a fraction of a second!

Almost everyone was petrified on the spot. Only Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng had relatively normal expressions, as if they had long anticipated Li Mo's answer.

Li Mo was not the type of person to retrace his steps, and besides, gold would shine wherever it went; it made no difference whether Zhang Shizong was there or not.

"Li Mo, are you crazy? This is the Patriarch!"

"Li Mo, once you miss this chance, you won't get another!"

The first to grow anxious were actually the school leaders. To be precise, they weren't anxious—they were jealous!

Even with their high status and power, it was hard for them to meet Zhang Shizong on a regular day, yet Li Mo's aptitude had prompted Zhang Shizong to personally ask to take him as a disciple!

As a result, they were now completely exasperated.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Shizong on the other end of the line seemed to have also long expected that Li Mo would refuse him.

"Alright! You little bastards, shut up! Isn't this all because of the mess you made?"

"Li Mo, although we have no destiny as master and disciple, I still want to remind you that the real effect of the Chaos Star Art lies in the soul. Once you reach the Sanhe Realm or above and can cultivate your soul, you will be able to perceive its true utility."

"I've said my piece. Next, you can go ahead and tear down this school."

Zhang Shizong's words left the school leaders completely bewildered in the wind.

What did he mean by "Li Mo can tear down this school"?

He was the Patriarch of Starry Sky University!

In fact, Zhang Shizong had stopped teaching at Starry Sky University more than two hundred years ago. His only connection to the school was his desire to find a successor there.

It was Starry Sky University that had forcibly bestowed the title of Patriarch upon him, just to have him protect the school.

Li Mo's aptitude was extraordinary, and Zhang Shizong could naturally see that if such a genius did not die young, he would surely achieve peerless greatness in the future. In that case, it was better to let him tear down the school now to vent his anger.

Zhang Shizong was not speaking nonsense; he simply did not want an unresolvable enemy to emerge in the future.

If Starry Sky University was gone, it could be rebuilt, or they could even change its name.

But if Li Mo held onto this grudge forever, that would be the worst possible outcome.

At this moment, only Deputy Mayor Zhu Wu wanted to weep but had no tears. Starry Sky University was his calling card; if the school were really torn down, his end would be the most miserable.

Fortunately, Li Mo had never thought of doing so. He picked up the Chaos Star Art and said, "Elder Zhang, you exaggerate. How could I actually tear down the school? Having your Chaos Star Art is enough!"

Saying this, Li Mo swept his gaze over the school leaders present, as his next words were meant for the mole.

"Next, I will rest in the Capital for a few days. Once I've settled everything, I will take this Chaos Star Art to meet my brothers in The Military! Goodbye, everyone!"

What Li Mo meant by this was that he would be waiting at home for those moles to come to him. If the moles in the school had anything to say to the moles in The Military, they could have him pass on the message.

Lure the snake out of its hole, then wait for the target to walk into the trap.

With that, Li Mo recalled his forces, and the crowd dispersed.

In this way, the mission assigned by The Military was largely completed. For the next few days, Li Mo could rest well and reunite with his family, while also waiting for the moles to show up.

In the evening, Li Mo was in high spirits and had a grand feast prepared to reunite with his Aunt and younger sister.

Seeing Li Mo's impressive bearing, his Aunt was also deeply gratified.

"Xiao Mo, perhaps it was right for you to walk your father's path again. Your Aunt was just worrying needlessly!"

After a heart-to-heart talk, his Aunt suddenly brought out an iron box about the size of an arm from her room and handed it to Li Mo.

She said to Li Mo, "Xiao Mo, this contains what your parents left behind before they went to the battlefield for the last time. I should have given it to you long ago, but I was always afraid you would follow in their footsteps and sacrifice your life on the battlefield. Now, you can take it."

These words instantly piqued Li Mo's curiosity. Since Li Mo was a transmigrator, he still retained some impressions of his parents.

His parents had likely gone to the battlefield when he was one year old, because on that day, Li Mo had watched with his own eyes as they left the house and never returned.

Thus, Li Mo slowly opened the box.

To Li Mo's surprise, what lay inside the box was actually a set of flying daggers!

These flying daggers came in various sizes, but without exception, they were almost all forged from top-tier materials. The worst material among them was the current Alloy No. 21.

This Alloy No. 21 was an alloy exclusively supplied to The Military, and civil production was prohibited because its raw materials were extremely rare. It could be said that the Alloy No. 21 required to forge a single flying dagger would sell for tens of millions of new currency on the market!

This set of flying daggers was worth at least several hundred million!

Li Mo's mouth twitched. His Aunt was sitting on a gold mine without even realizing it. If they had sold even one of these flying daggers, their family wouldn't have been reduced to such poverty.

Right at that moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Li Mo's ear.

"Ding! Since the system has detected a talent for using hidden weapons in your genes, do you wish to unlock Hidden Weapon Flying Dagger Cultivation?"
