14: Chapter 14 I'll beg him to come back to school, even if I have to kowtow!

Being able to cultivate a Martial God is absolutely the highest honor for a Martial Arts University.

However, promising seedlings capable of achieving the Martial God status are rare and hard to come by.

In the past three hundred years, Earth has produced no more than one hundred Martial Gods.

Half of them have already passed away.

And a genius like Li Mo is the best candidate to achieve the status of Martial God!

The school leadership was naturally furious!

Of course, when Li Mo still had the E-grade talent Waste Flame, no one spoke up for him.

If he still possessed that Waste Flame talent, the school leadership probably wouldn't have even glanced at him.

Li Mo proved everything with his battle record.

This leader was one of the major shareholders of Starry Sky University and a renowned political figure in the capital.

Under his thunderous rage, the homeroom teacher who expelled Li Mo, Teacher Cao Yun, and the Dean of Students, Huang Zhongze, were quickly summoned.

Teacher Cao Yun had long anticipated this day; he had thought of it when Li Mo decided to leave, but he just hadn't expected it to come so soon.

Homeroom teachers at Starry Sky University hold significant power; expelling a bottom-ranked student from their class is an easy matter.

However, some matters, if not weighed, might not seem to carry much weight, but once placed on the scale, they might exceed a thousand pounds.

Now that Li Mo has joined The Military, this responsibility naturally falls on the shoulders of Teacher Cao Yun and Huang Zhongze.

Upon arriving at the office and seeing the leader's gloomy face, the two were instantly terrified and trembling, especially Teacher Cao Yun, whose legs were shaking.

After all, the leader before him not only held high power and status but also possessed strength that had reached the Liangyi Realm, which was absolute suppression for Teacher Cao Yun, who was at the Blood Transformation Realm.

Teacher Cao Yun forced a smile and said, "Leader, is there something you need?"

The leader threw Li Mo's transcript directly into Teacher Cao Yun's face.

"Look at the good deed you've done! Was it you who expelled Li Mo?"

Teacher Cao Yun picked up the transcript, and in an instant, his complexion turned the color of a pig's liver.

To be able to defeat six Rank 7 Hidden Edge Realm robots at this age and cultivation level was extremely rare, even in the three-hundred-year history of Starry Sky University.

Moreover, Starry Sky University had suffered a decline in talent over the past thirty years; although it held the title of a top Martial Arts University, it had produced almost no well-known martial artists.

Therefore, what Starry Sky University needed most right now was an peerless genius like Li Mo.

Yet, this kind of genius had been personally let go by Teacher Cao Yun!

Beside them, Huang Zhongze, upon seeing the transcript, immediately distanced himself from Teacher Cao Yun and quickly tried to absolve himself of responsibility.

"Leader, expelling Li Mo was entirely Teacher Cao Yun's suggestion! I know nothing about it!"

"I heard him say that Li Mo's grades were at the bottom and that he was unruly, so I reluctantly signed the document. This was an unintentional mistake!"

Hearing Huang Zhongze say this, Teacher Cao Yun was immediately enraged: "You..."

In reality, Huang Zhongze knew Li Mo, or rather, he knew almost all the bottom-ranked students in every class in the school.

After all, one of Huang Zhongze's annual tasks was to select students from among these bottom-ranked ones to send to The Military, and his selection criteria depended on their family background.

Those with good family backgrounds would be extorted by Huang Zhongze, who would collect large amounts of benefits under the pretext of not sending them to The Military and allowing them to stay in school.

Those like Li Mo, who had no family background, would be sent by him to The Military.

Therefore, in a sense, Huang Zhongze was actually the mastermind, and Teacher Cao Yun was merely the one who provided the list.

The two were birds of a feather, but Teacher Cao Yun had also received quite a few benefits from Huang Zhongze, so he dared not burn bridges at this moment.

The school leadership didn't know the truth, so naturally, he vented all his rage onto Teacher Cao Yun.

"You are called Teacher Cao Yun, right? Seeing that you have taught at Starry Sky University for over twenty years, do you want to retire and collect your pension?"

Whatever mood Li Mo was in when he was expelled, Teacher Cao Yun was in the same mood now.

With this leader's power, firing Teacher Cao Yun would be a piece of cake.

Don't look at how Teacher Cao Yun could throw his weight around in front of those students; there were over sixty homeroom teachers like him in the entire Starry Sky University!

Teacher Cao Yun knelt down before the leader on the spot.

Being able to teach at Starry Sky University was something many people dreamed of their whole lives.

Not only was the pay good here, but one could also obtain many cultivation resources. As a teacher, the cultivation resources Teacher Cao Yun could obtain were even more than those of students, and there were also more opportunities for future promotion.

If he lost this job, all of Teacher Cao Yun's efforts over the past twenty-plus years would be in vain.

"Leader, I beg you! I have worked for the school for over twenty years; if I have no merit, I at least have put in hard work, right? As long as you keep me, I will accept any punishment! I can stop being a homeroom teacher and just be a regular teacher!"

Teacher Cao Yun was crying his eyes out, almost kowtowing to the leader.

However, this leader was also a shrewd person and had long seen through what kind of person Teacher Cao Yun was.

He looked coldly at Teacher Cao Yun and then sneered: "Merit? Hard work? Teacher Cao Yun, you have been at Starry Sky University for so long; is Starry Sky University a place that talks about hard work?"

"Besides, for all these years, the classes you have led have almost always been the worst in the school! A student like Li Mo is rare in a hundred years, but homeroom teachers like you, I can hire a whole bunch every year! Why should I keep you?"

Hearing the leader say this, Teacher Cao Yun's face turned deathly pale, and he was almost in despair.

It looked like he was definitely going to lose this job!

In reality, the benefits he received for expelling Li Mo were not much—just five bottles of vitality potion!

Yet the consequence was that he would lose this job that could feed him for a lifetime for nothing.

But just as Teacher Cao Yun was about to hit rock bottom, the leader offered a glimmer of hope.

"Teacher Cao Yun, you still have one chance to stay at the school. In fact, if you can complete this task, I will even give you a chance to be promoted to a special-grade teacher!"

This sentence from the leader immediately made Teacher Cao Yun's eyes light up.

Now, even if it meant climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, he would probably be willing to do it.

"Leader, please tell me; I will do whatever it is!"

"It's very simple. I want you to go to The Military and bring Li Mo back for me, and restore his student status at Starry Sky University. How about that? You are, after all, his former homeroom teacher; surely you don't lack even this bit of ability, right?"

"This..."

Teacher Cao Yun hesitated for a moment, and his complexion gradually became ugly.

Actually, logically speaking, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to bring Li Mo back, but the problem was that when he expelled Li Mo, in order to ensure Li Mo would not return to school, he had humiliated Li Mo in every possible way!

Teacher Cao Yun had done that on purpose, because to get the benefits from Huang Zhongze, he had to ensure that Li Mo would have no intention of returning to school.

So, at that time, he had used harsh words against Li Mo and stopped at nothing.

Now, wanting Li Mo to return—how could that be easy?

"What? You don't want to go? Then pack your things and leave tomorrow."

Before Teacher Cao Yun could hesitate, the leader had already issued an ultimatum.

Teacher Cao Yun had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Fine! I will go! Even if I have to kowtow to him, I will invite him back!"
