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

Chapter 407 The Three-Year Agreement, The Sun and Moon Empire's Challenge

The sun was warm and gradually set in the west.

It was sprinkled on the lake, like a layer of golden mist.

After observing Su Jinli's teaching and preaching, Su Ran quietly withdrew from the peach blossom forest.

Do not compete or fight; live a life of tranquility and detachment.

There are probably two reasons why this girl sent her young library director here.

Firstly, although her current identity is the omnipotent 'Master Su', she is actually unsure of herself. Having a master who may be proficient in unique skills by her side can guide and help her.

Secondly, there is the suspicion that he has had contact with the real Master Su behind the scenes, and might be able to provide some clues.

However, Su Ran accepted both the former and the latter with equanimity.

Seeing this girl grow and learn must be a source of great comfort for the old father.

Similarly, if this girl's scheming and insightful observations allow her to truly see through his illusions and disguises, Su Ran would be very happy.

This shows that the student surpasses the teacher, and who would be angry to see their child surpass their own achievements?

However, what troubled Su Ran was that her reputation seemed to be in jeopardy.

This girl is going to teach Tang Wutong about 'ultimate aesthetics'.

He even appeared under the name of Master Su, causing a sensation both inside and outside Shrek Academy, and countless young men and women went crazy for him.

And this girl, unaware of the difference between men and women, actually enjoyed the affections of Tang Wutong and Ma Xiaotao, teaching and dating at the same time.

How could Su Ran not have a headache?
Those who don't know the truth might think he's really rejuvenated, and he starts fooling little girls into playing with him.

Ride the waves.

The disheveled Xuanzi stood by the Sea God Lake, facing the warm breeze, watching Su Ran's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

After taking a bite of the chicken leg, his mouth greasy, he felt that life was becoming more and more worth looking forward to, and a chuckle spread across his face.
"I've got it! Shrek Academy is finally here!"

"What do you mean, 'there is something'? In my opinion, the academy does have that risk of going bankrupt."

Mu En, sitting in his wheelchair, slowly moved to Xuanzi's side and said.

Xuanzi took a sip of wine, revealing slightly yellowed teeth:

"Bankruptcy? You're being too pessimistic. With Master Su in charge and the library director being so mysterious, the academy's strength will surely allow it to conquer the four kingdoms in no time."

Because Mu En was born as an orphan of the former Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was not accepted by the academy in the past. Although he made great contributions, his status was equivalent to Xuan Zi, and he was not the number one person in Shrek Academy as in the original work.

But precisely because of his troubled past, Mu En saw things more deeply and was more worried than Xuan Zi:

"You are too optimistic. You only saw the birth of Master Su and the secrets of Master Tao, but you don't know that the Sea God Pavilion is beset by internal and external troubles."

“Ever since Master Su showed up, look at these girls, they are all overjoyed, like the aftertaste of fine wine or the warmth of charcoal in the cold winter. They have no interest in carrying out their missions, they just want to come back and run into Master Su. They would be satisfied just to see him once.”

"It's truly satisfying. These girls are not wrong either. Even with my limited experience, when I first saw Master Su's appearance, it was 'thrilling'. It's really a sight to behold. It's normal for these girls to have feelings for each other. It's perfectly normal."

"Once this phase passes and the energy subsides, it will be fine. It's normal for young people to experience a temporary surge in hormones."

Elder Xuan was quite easygoing and didn't take it seriously.

"It would be good if this momentum could subside."

"Yes, definitely."

"However, I do think that our Master Su is indeed very strong, much stronger than you and me. His cultivation level is unfathomable, and his abilities are excellent. It's just that his personality... I always feel something's off about him, a bit different from what's recorded." Xuanzi took another sip of strong liquor and clicked his tongue.
"From the Peach Blossom Spring history in the pavilion, I have seen that our Patriarch Su was indifferent yet ambitious, with a dragon's rage hidden beneath his calm, never showing his joy or anger, and upholding his principles with tolerance."

"Having met Master Su in person this time, I have a vague feeling that Master Su has become... rather casual?"

"Follow me, follow me, hehe~"

Xuanzi laughed.

Moon glanced at him: "Who does he take after?"

"Oh no, it's because I follow him, I follow him!"

Moon was silent for a moment, then sighed:
"Perhaps it's the passage of ten thousand years that has changed our Ancestor Su's personality. Ancestor Su is not like Ancestor Su anymore. The curator can't figure him out. I reckon those guys from the Sun Moon Empire should be arriving soon."

As soon as Mu En finished speaking, Xuanzi slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing:

"By the way, next year will be the three-year period. Those guys from the Sun Moon Empire probably won't give up and will definitely come to challenge us again."

"Let them come. Are we, Shrek Academy, afraid of them?"

There's a reason behind this three-year period.

Taoyuan Academy has a rule that anyone who wants to become a student there can do so through a challenge.

Shrek Academy inherited this mechanism.

Any student selected by Shrek Academy who fails Shrek Academy's assessment can become a top-tier student through a challenge mechanism. Winning the challenge allows them to stay at Shrek Academy to study and gain access to the library.

It is precisely because of this school rule that, ever since the Sun Moon Empire was defeated by Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Empire has frequently organized teams to challenge Shrek Academy.

This is also a calculated move. If the challenge succeeds, Shrek Academy will likely be gradually reshuffled and replaced by the Sun Moon Empire, gaining access to the secrets and assistance of the Peach Blossom Forest.

Therefore, the major empires were happy to challenge them every few years. Finally, the Sun and Moon Empire set a rule that every three years, new students would take on the challenge, and every ten years, the academy would hold a grand challenge.

While this mechanism caused great concern among the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, it also prompted the Sea God Pavilion to diligently cultivate each generation of students, selecting the best of the best.

……

"Director, you're finally back!"

"Teacher Xiaoya and I went to the Dongmen Market to buy bluefin tuna, and it was delicious."

"I'll bake it for you right away."

As the sun set, when Su Ran returned to the library courtyard, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya were still there, having a barbecue.

A fragrant aroma of fish wafted out.

Upon seeing the curator return, Huo Yuhao's face immediately lit up with a happy smile, and he quickly skewered two plump fish.

With excellent knife skills, he cut open another piece of tuna sashimi, taking the best part of the belly, and arranged it on a plate for Su Ran.

Although Tang Ya didn't know how to grill fish, she took the grill pan and handed it to Su Ran, her face showing both contentment and anticipation.
"Director, what did Master Su say to you?"

"Could you take me with you to see Master Su next time?"

Su Ran gently tapped Tang Ya's forehead, tasted a piece of fish, and the young girl and boy bustling about in the simple courtyard created a warm and inviting atmosphere, seemingly isolated from the troubles outside.
"Let's talk about it when you can master the Five Animal Fist."

"Even if Master Su is a celestial being, she is still a human being. As a human being, she is destined to be imperfect. Just focus on yourself, silly girl."
