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

Chapter 3 Why do teachers always wear masks?

"What an monstrous talent! He's actually a seven-ring Soul Saint?"

"So beautiful... His martial spirit is so beautiful..."

"It's like a peach blossom fairy, it's so beautiful, it's like being in a paradise!"

"Such a good spirit ring configuration? How is this possible? The fourth spirit ring is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring? I'm not seeing things, am I? This can't be right!"

"Didn't the teacher say that the age limit for the second spirit ring couldn't exceed 764 years, the upper limit for the third spirit ring couldn't exceed 1760 years, and the fourth spirit ring should only be three to five thousand years? How come he directly exceeded the age limit by five or six thousand years?"

When Su Ran's spirit rings were revealed, the entire audience was stunned.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing trembled, feeling a faint sense of regret for not having decisively become disciples.

Ning Rongrong stared wide-eyed at Su Ran amidst the peach blossoms, completely mesmerized by her teacher's martial spirit.
My goodness, such a soul ring configuration, such a beautiful martial soul! I'm afraid you can't find another one like it on the entire continent, right?

Flander, Dai Mubai, and the others were shocked, somewhat unable to believe that Su Ran was actually a seven-ring Soul Saint.

Only saw:

The peach blossoms are in full bloom, like a beautiful sunset; young people are graceful and full of youthful beauty.

Clad in white, she danced in the wind, her bright eyes reflecting the splendor of nature.

With a single thought, a peach branch descends to the mortal world, severing a ten-thousand-year bond in the mortal realm.

This kind of person should only exist in heaven; how often can one hear of such a person in the human world?
[Fourth Soul Skill, Crimson Moon Peach Blossom!]

Su Ran waved his hand casually, not bothering with Shrek Academy. Since they were willing to put on an act, he would just finish them off immediately.

A peach blossom moon hung on the peach tree behind Su Ran, as he gently pointed.

The crimson peach blossoms fell from the flourishing peach tree. Although they seemed to come slowly, they rushed towards Li Yusong in the blink of an eye.

Li Yusong threw a punch at the peach-shaped moon.

There was a loud bang.

As the peach blossoms bloomed, a massive shockwave sent everyone from Shrek Academy flying dozens of meters away.

Unfortunately, the peach blossoms, like fragments of a bomb or a flying knife, left a cut on everyone.

Ning Rongrong was terrified by the incredibly lethal peach petals that were shooting towards her. It would be terrible if her delicate face were scratched and left with scars.

At this moment, Su Ran casually deflected all the peach blossom fragments flying towards Ning Rongrong by twirling a peach wood branch in her hand.

Ning Rongrong blinked her watery eyes and suddenly felt a great sense of security:

The teacher's every move was so cool!

Li Yusong, who collided with the Scarlet Moon Peach Blossom, was blasted away like an arrow, his body covered in wounds.

His arm, which collided with Tao Yue's, was already broken by the explosion, a bloody mess, and he let out a scream.

"Teacher Yu Song!"

"Li Yusong, are you alright?"

Do I look alright to you???

Li Yusong coughed up a mouthful of blood, suffering both mental and physical harm.

"Accepted."

"Dean Flander, am I now qualified to open an academy and become a teacher?"

At this moment, Su Ran's faint voice could be heard.

This infuriated both Flander and Li Yusong.

Flander said through gritted teeth:
"Yes, you are qualified. Very good. I hope your students will shine in the Soul Arena in the future, and it would be best if they could participate in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition."

"I definitely will, thank you for your blessing."

Su Ran was infuriating, yet she remained calm and unfazed by Flander's sarcasm and threats.

"Let's go, Xiao Sheng, Rong Rong, it's time to go back to the academy."

Su Ran turned around and led Wang Sheng and Ning Rongrong through the gates of Taoyuan Academy.

Flander then helped Li Yusong back to Shrek Academy to heal his injuries.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced back at the gate of Taoyuan Academy and suddenly regretted not having chosen to enroll there.

But when she turned around, she saw Dai Mubai's back and looked somewhat helpless. Perhaps this was her fate.
"Third Brother, that person was amazing! Did Master really want us to join Shrek Academy, and not Peach Blossom Academy over there?"

Xiao Wu's bright eyes widened, her opinion of Peach Blossom Academy had already changed somewhat.

The students at the academy across the street were not only more capable than those at Shrek Academy, but even the teachers were so stylish, with the best demeanor she had ever seen among humans. It seemed like joining Peach Blossom Academy would be a great idea.

"Dean, what happened? Who injured Old Li like this?" "Mu Bai, you're injured too?"

Zhao Wuji, who was sitting in Shrek Academy, was originally waiting idly for the new students to come in and have some fun as an admissions examiner. Unexpectedly, he saw Flander helping the seriously injured Li Yusong in, and Dai Mubai, who was clutching his chest and panting heavily, was next to him.

"Stop talking. I'll take Lao Li and Mu Bai to heal their injuries. Lao Zhao, these are newly recruited students. Do a quick assessment of their strength, don't scare them away."

Flanders explained.

Zhao Wuji touched his head, somewhat surprised:

“In the past, we were eager to make the assessments stricter, weeding out those who weren’t qualified, and saving the school some money. Why are they only saying they’ll do a simple assessment today? That’s strange.”

"So it's you three little guys who've come to join Shrek Academy? Come on, unleash your martial souls and let me see your strength."

Zhao Wuji stood there like a small mountain peak, looking at Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, and said calmly.

……

Ning Rongrong followed Su Ran and Wang Sheng into Taoyuan Academy.

The layout of Taoyuan Academy is very simple.

At the school gate stand two blooming peach trees, their branches and petals forming the school emblem and plaque, resembling the entrance to a secluded paradise. Inside the gate, on either side, are two rooms, which serve as the college's security office, where Wang Sheng currently resides.

Inside the Peach Blossom Campus, the main room is Teacher Su Ran's house. In front of it is a small garden with a clear pond where koi carp are kept. In front of the garden are the school and martial arts training ground. To the left are several dormitory rooms, and to the right are the kitchen and storage room.

Following the leisurely stone path lined with peach blossoms and red maple trees, they arrived near the school, where Ning Rongrong performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Immediately, Su Ran pointed to the first room on the left and said calmly to Ning Rongrong:
"You'll be living here from now on. Get used to the environment. Although our Peach Blossom Academy has a better campus environment than Shrek Academy, it's still quite tough."

“Wang Sheng was in charge of the academy’s food and hygiene before. You can share the responsibility from now on. He will be in charge of the outer courtyard, and you will clean the inner courtyard.”

"Yes, teacher," Wang Sheng said, bowing slightly.

"What? I have to sweep the floor and cook?"

Ning Rongrong expressed her surprise.

Su Ran smiled faintly, not answering Ning Rongrong's question, but instead speaking to Wang Sheng:
"She may not have done these things before, so you should teach her more."

“Yes, teacher.” Wang Sheng said respectfully.

"No? I joined Peach Blossom Academy so that you would teach me everything you know, not so that I could learn to do laundry and cook from him!"

Ning Rongrong was stunned.

However, Su Ran had already slowly walked along the garden path and returned to her room, leaving behind only one sentence:
"I will be teaching at the school tomorrow morning, so don't be late."

"what the hell!"

Ning Rongrong muttered, unable to smile.

"What kind of teacher is this? A housework teacher who teaches students how to do laundry, cook, and clean?"

"Uh, I'm warning you, even though you're now the teacher's disciple, if you dare to slander the teacher, I won't be polite to you."

Sensing Ning Rongrong's dissatisfaction with Su Ran, Wang Sheng said in a deep voice.

Ning Rongrong was even more unconvinced:
"Isn't that so? The first thing a student is asked to do when becoming an apprentice is to do chores. What kind of logic is that?"

"Of course that makes sense. As the teacher said, 'If you can't even sweep a room, how can you sweep the world?' If you can't even do the most basic things well, how can you become a top-level Soul Master?"

"As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. My teacher said that even the simplest tasks like sweeping, washing clothes, and chopping vegetables can be honed into extraordinary skills."

"Is this for real? You can develop amazing skills from sweeping and chopping vegetables?"

Ning Rongrong was stunned.

"That's what the teacher said anyway," Wang Sheng said helplessly.

"Alright, I'm not usually allowed to enter the inner courtyard. I'll be leaving it to you from now on. I hope you can take good care of your teacher's daily life."

"I'm going out to practice boxing. Today I'm going to practice Tiger Form Boxing ten more times."

"Hey? Are you recruiting students or maids for the teachers?!"

"Yes, I guess so, hehe."

Wang Sheng smiled sheepishly.

Ning Rongrong: “…”

"I have a question for you: Why do teachers always wear a mask?"

"Maybe... the teacher is just too good-looking."
