Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 103 Heading to the Spirit City Finals, Su Ran's Eighth Lifetime of Meditation Reveals His True Form
Wuhun City is located at the border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and is a region with independent jurisdiction.

The journey from Tiandou City to Wuhun City spanned most of the empire from north to south. The fifteen teams from Tiandou City traveled together in the knightly chariots and horses prepared by the Tiandou royal family.

As the top team in both the preliminary and qualifying rounds, Taoyuan Academy naturally sat in the leading team. Each team basically had 2-3 carriages, divided into student carriages and teacher carriages.

Among the vehicles of Tianshui University.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sat together, glancing out the window every now and then, trying to find the location of Peach Blossom Academy.

They held in their hands the gifts their teacher had given them as a formal introduction to the master, along with a letter of advice.

【Bing'er, the teacher prepared a second-grade immortal herb for you - Frost Soul Orchid Ice. After absorbing it, your martial soul will become more focused and can promote the cultivation of Frost Palm and Heavenly Frost Fist - Frost Phoenix. In the finals, the core team will be much stronger than in the preliminaries. If Tianshui Academy wants to break through the encirclement, it will not only need good luck, but also rely on your strength as the captain of Tianshui.

Snowflakes fall, this spirit fusion skill relies on your Ice Phoenix to release, with Snow Dance's snowflakes as an auxiliary, to unleash a powerful area-of-effect attack. This spirit skill allowed you to defeat many opponents in the preliminaries, but relying solely on the fusion skill of the two of you will make it difficult to advance in the finals.

In fact, your Soul Master team, which pursues the ultimate attributes, is the easiest to cultivate multi-soul fusion skills. If you could get Yue'er and the others to join your Soul Fusion Skill, forming a fusion skill with three or more people, allowing Ice and Snow to use Yue'er and the others' power to transform into a tracking ice and snow attack, then the power and effect would be greatly enhanced. With diligent study of your skills, Tianshui could join the ranks of top teams. I have already informed you of the details and methods in the attached letter...

[Moon, you are impulsive and prone to daydreaming, often lost in your fantasies, which makes it difficult for you to settle down. This Jade Water Lily can bring you peace of mind and smooth your flow of energy. It can also enhance your synergy with Bing'er. You are sisters, and your martial souls resonate with each other. If you can absorb it with peace of mind, even with just the initial stages of Flowing Water Fist and Subduing Wave Technique, you can significantly boost the strength of the Tianshui team...]

They were two extremely beautiful plants, and the team members from Tianshui Academy all showed expressions of surprise when they saw them.

Although they didn't know what the purpose of these flowers and plants was, they knew they were precious because of the warm and inviting aura emanating from them.

"Did the teachers at Peach Blossom Academy give these to you?"

"Moon, Captain, you guys really don't treat us like your own people. You actually secretly teamed up with Peach Blossom Academy. We should have realized it sooner. The peach blossom branch that sent you to the competition in the preliminary rounds, Bing'er, must have been that Teacher Su from Peach Blossom Academy, right?"

"This Teacher Su's martial spirit is truly beautiful; the name 'Peach Blossom Spring' is well-deserved."

Recalling the scene after the qualifying rounds ended, when Teacher Su from Taoyuan Academy released her martial spirit to the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, Xue Wu and the others all had a look of admiration in their eyes.

Girls, after all, love pretty and beautiful things the most.

Su Ran's peach blossom branch can be described as the most ethereal and beautiful martial spirit on the continent. Few martial spirits can rival it. It is loved by everyone, and young girls will see it bloom, with buds ready to burst into full bloom.

Leng Yuehan also called Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er to talk during the teacher's journey. Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er did not hide it from their aunt Leng Yuehan and truthfully told them that they had become disciples of Taoyuan.

Leng Xuehan remained silent for a long time, because Tianshui Academy was the most suitable place for them to study.

But is Peach Blossom Academy an exception?
Similar to the two beauties from Tianshui, the three girls from the Plant Academy, Yao Zi, Mu Yunzhu, and Mu Yunteng, also received instructions from their teacher, Su Ran. The letter detailed the precautions for cultivation and how to bring out their expertise and strengths in the finals.

The girls rode in a carriage southwards, gazing at the changing scenery outside the window, lost in thought and somewhat moved.

Teachers are actually very busy.

He personally trained and accompanied the Soul Master team of Taoyuan Academy to participate in competitions. He planned the competitions for his senior brothers and sisters, taught them how to cultivate, and at the same time, he did not neglect them. He also taught them unique skills suitable for their physiques with all his heart and soul, patiently guided them on the details, and taught them how to fight in competitions.

Can you find another teacher like this on the entire mainland?

That's difficult, isn't it?

Or rather, there simply isn't a second one.

……

Inside the carriage at Peach Blossom Academy, Su Ran sat alone. She opened her eyes, her gaze filled with the fluttering beauty of crimson peach blossoms, as if twin dragons of ice and fire were swimming within them. She let out a long sigh.

"Still can't do it?"

"How should I proceed with the trial of the ninth tribulation?"

The teacher title and training given by the system is not simply a test of strength, but a test of a teacher's character and moral integrity, and also a test of Su Ran's current professional ethics.

With each tribulation, Su Ran enters a cycle of reincarnation from a meditative state.

[The first tribulation: enduring poverty, being enslaved and servanted, having no one to rely on throughout life, wandering aimlessly for sixty years.]

[The second tribulation: a life of relentless toil, working like an ox or a horse, barely making ends meet, caring for parents and supporting wife and children, content with a simple life of basic sustenance.]

[The third calamity: Holding power, yet mired in a quagmire; wielding great authority above, suppressing the people below; accumulating wealth and power, rising to high office, yet disaster strikes and all vanishes in an instant. Five years of glory and honor, where are they now? No different from a dream of Nanke.]

[In the fourth incarnation of meditation, wielding a blade like an owl, blood splattering where cold light gleams—sneaking through the night to steal souls, a stench sweeping through dreams and annihilating spirits. Awakening from a sudden realization of past transgressions, half a lifetime spent as a cursed demon.]

【…】

[The sixth tribulation: A spoiled brat, a prodigy, aspiring to the heavens, treads the mortal realm, but looking back, he realizes his life was wasted, all past events vanishing like ashes.]

【…】

[In his eighth life, a legendary swordsman descends to the mortal realm, enduring the cold stares of the world. He speaks of swordsmanship and wine, his heart set on the path of wine and swordsmanship once more. But what then? The moonlit night is unbearable.]

【…】

Through several lifetimes of meditation, Su Ran's mental strength became exceptionally powerful. Even if it was not as strong as the combined mental strength of eight lifetimes, it was at least comparable to the soul of three lifetimes.

Through these lifetimes of meditation, Su Ran witnessed the coldness and warmth of human nature, learned to do one's best and accept one's fate, and understood that every pitiful person has something hateful about them, and every hateful person has something pitiful about them. She learned not to view the world with prejudice, nor to live in the world with stubbornness.

However, what Su Ran lamented was that no matter how hard he tried to cultivate his meditation in this ninth life, he could not enter a meditative state.

It was as if this ninth-life meditation did not exist.

This made Su Ran, who was usually calm, feel a little anxious.

If the ninth spirit ring cannot be attached, the trip to Wuhun City will become even more dangerous.

Is the best option right now to hunt for spirit rings on your own?

After a long journey, passing through a valley, Su Ran slowly stepped down from the carriage during a rest stop. Looking at the yellow earth-like valley, she felt a sense of melancholy.

With his current strength, and having taken precautions, Su Ran wasn't afraid of the Spirit Hall attacking him. Su Ran was only worried about his students.

"Is Dean Su sighing because he's worried about losing the final?"

At this moment, to Su Ran's side, a beautiful woman in green suddenly shook her head and pounded the golden headband on her head twice with her fist. This could relieve her headache, but as the finals drew closer, she had more and more thoughts that were often hard to suppress.

Seeing Su Ran slowly walking over, she couldn't help but ask.
