The host's current spirit power is level 75.5!]

【…】

A month later, Taoyuan College was thriving.

Over the past month, all four students in the academy have entered the advanced stage of intensive training and have made significant progress.

Meng Yiran and Wang Sheng also successfully absorbed their third soul rings and reached the Soul Venerable Realm.

Su Ran's soul power is also close to level 76.

This made Su Ran feel happy.

He took on disciples and taught at Taoyuan Academy. In just over three months, his soul power increased from level 71 to nearly level 76, a four- or five-level increase. The age of his soul rings also increased by more than 30%. He also acquired several unique skills and soul bones.

If it were three or ten years, how high would his advancement reach?
It's probably possible to achieve a full set of soul rings with an age of over 100,000 years.

Early in the morning, Wang Sheng walked to the blooming peach tree in front of the school while practicing his Tiger-Taming Fist, and rang the peach blossom bell.

Students who were doing their morning exercises gathered around and sat in the classroom waiting for the teacher to start the lesson.

Ning Rongrong, the senior student of the academy, sat in the center, with Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran sitting on either side of her.

"Everyone performed quite well this month, and most of them passed my monthly assessment, showing a significant improvement in their abilities."

Su Ran stood in the center of the podium, and he had notes on the four students' situations, including their improvements, strengths, and weaknesses.

"Rongrong, I told you before, your Golden Bell Shield had a weakness before it was fully mastered. However, after my observation, your weakness has become smaller, which is quite remarkable."

"However, your inch-force is still far from meeting my requirements. You need to practice more in the future."

Su Ran was the first to give Ning Rongrong a monthly evaluation.

Ning Rongrong was quite happy when Teacher Su Ran praised her.

The child works hard to improve, not only to become the strongest support, but more importantly, to become a well-behaved girl so that the teacher can look at her with new respect.

The real purpose of this aid is to gain the teacher's approval, make the teacher lower their guard, and then win the teacher over!
(=^▽^=)
……

"Teacher, if you help people attack the weak points of the Vajra Shield more, it will definitely get smaller and smaller!"

"And... teacher, look at my hands~"

"The inch punch is really too hard to master. You don't even care about me, humph."

Ning Rongrong stretched out her right hand. Her originally soft and delicate hand was swollen and covered in bruises from Su Ran's strict training.

"Ahem, the second stage of the inch punch is indeed quite difficult to master. I'll soak you in Jade Hand Elixir later."

"Okay~ I want the teacher to help me make it myself~"

"Nonsense! Make it yourself."

Su Ran glanced at Ning Rongrong with a hint of doting affection, then feigned seriousness and a touch of helplessness.

Ever since this girl learned to act cute and charming towards him, he's been at a loss as to how to handle her.

If she were as arrogant and willful as when she first arrived, I could bring myself to punish her severely.

Su Ran continued:

"Zhu Qing's improvement is the greatest among you, but don't be too happy. The biggest problem for agility-type soul masters is their weak frontal ability, especially when facing defense-type soul masters. How to defeat the enemy's control-type soul masters while under the protection of defense-type or power-attack-type soul masters is something you need to improve."

"Teacher, why kill the control-type Soul Masters first, instead of the support-type Soul Masters?"

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat puzzled.

“I’ve already calculated this problem for Rongrong, so I can tell you the conclusion now: unless it’s a duel between Soul Masters at the Soul King level or above, killing support characters isn’t very valuable.” “On the contrary, control-type Soul Masters are the key to controlling the entire field. As long as a control-type Soul Master controls one Soul Master, creating an opportunity for other Soul Masters to focus fire, it’s easy to defeat our main Soul Masters, thereby reversing the situation or widening the gap.”

"Simply put, agility-type Soul Masters face the disadvantages of clumsy defense-type Soul Masters, lack of offensive capabilities in support-type Soul Masters, and inability of power-type Soul Masters to catch up with you. The only ones who can restrain you are control-type Soul Masters. Once you are controlled by a control-type Soul Master, you will lose your agility advantage and become a sitting duck for the enemy."

"Similarly, a skilled control-type Soul Master will prioritize controlling the opponent's offensive and agile-type Soul Masters."

Su Ran said calmly.

Zhu Zhuqing's cold face seemed to understand something. This was the first time she had heard of this explanation; it was a novel understanding of the confrontation, and it made a lot of sense.

"Meng Yiran and Wang Sheng, first of all, congratulations on breaking through to the Soul Venerable realm. However, you both have obvious weaknesses, and they are similar in some ways."

Wang Sheng's weakness is that he is too dull. Although he has strong explosive power, he lacks mobility and the ability to disengage from combat. In Soul Master team battles, he must be on high alert and pay attention to the skills of control-type Soul Masters.

Still, you've only been a class-changing student for a month, and only your third soul skill is a summoning skill. Your movement techniques aren't as proficient as Zhu Qing's, and you can't learn hidden weapons in a short time. In soul master team battles, you need to pay extra attention to when you use your second and third soul skills. You must prioritize your own safety, look for opportunities, and use your third soul skill to catch the enemy off guard, acting as a secondary damage dealer.

"Secondary Carry?"

This was the first time Meng Yiran had ever heard of this word.

However, in the past month, she has clearly felt an improvement in her strength. At least if she were to fight her now compared to herself a month ago, she would definitely win completely.

"Teacher, I understand," Meng Yiran and Wang Sheng both nodded and said.

"Ah, very good."

Su Ran smiled:
"I believe you've all felt it these past few days. My training for you has become more focused, teaching you the essentials of team battles, including pointing out your weaknesses, which are also things you need to pay attention to in team battles."

"Today, all training is suspended. I'm taking the four of you to fulfill an agreement. You'll have a team battle to fight in the next two days. The opponent's strength should be around Soul Master level. This is also your chance to test the results of your training this month."

Do you have confidence?

"Have!"

"But teacher, who is the other person?"

"The Shrek Academy team on the other side."

"Oh, those filthy scoundrels, I'll beat the shit out of them."

"But teacher, if we win, can we ask for a reward?"

At this moment, Meng Yiran raised her hand and spoke.

"What reward do you want?" Su Ran asked Meng Yiran.

"I want to see the teacher's face. I've been in the academy for a month and haven't even seen the teacher once. Isn't it normal for teachers to be so wary of their students? They won't even let me take a look." Meng Yiran also felt a little resentful.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and raised her hand, saying, "I second that."

"No, no, I don't agree, I don't agree! Zhuqing, whose side are you on?!"

Ning Rongrong was so anxious that she stood up.

"I...anything is fine with me." Zhu Zhuqing smiled and sat there without saying anything.

To be honest, she was also very interested in what her teacher looked like. The more she learned, the more unfathomable her teacher seemed, and she wanted to find out more about him. However, she had made an agreement with her senior sister Rongrong that she could not have too much curiosity about her teacher's appearance.

"Senior Sister Rongrong, this is too domineering! Can't you even look at the teacher's face? Why are you making all the decisions... Teacher, will you agree or not?"

Meng Yiran looked at Su Ran expectantly.

Su Ran said helplessly, "The worst thing in a team battle is infighting. Rongrong, as the senior sister, you need to be more tolerant of your junior sisters. If you cause trouble again, I will punish you."

"Teacher!!" Ning Rongrong pouted.

"Alright, if you really win, I can grant you this request. But you also have to promise me that no matter what you see, whether it's ugly or beautiful, you must remain calm and composed, okay?"

"okay!"

The teacher agreed?!

Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, and they felt motivated.

That's it.

Ning Rongrong sighed.
