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

Chapter 53 Xiao Wu's Escape to Peach Blossom Academy
Taoyuan College's new campus is expanding rapidly.

The skilled craftsmen Ning Fengzhi found for Su Ran were all excellent, and they completed the construction of the new campus buildings for Taoyuan Academy in just a few days. The new campus will be largely completed in twenty or thirty days at most.

Over the past few days, the four students of the academy have been absorbing the energy of the immortal flowers and herbs. These immortal flowers and herbs will not only improve their physique and strengthen their martial souls, but also allow them to increase their soul power by more than six levels. In other words, after absorbing these immortal flowers and herbs, they will basically increase their soul power to more than level 37.

Su Ran not only received the evolved martial soul shared by the four disciples, but also received rewards of soul power and soul ring age. He was also quite leisurely—every day he cultivated fields in the new campus, obtained the spiritual fields and fertilizers rewarded by the system, and lived a leisurely farmer's life.

[Soul Power Level: 78.3 → Increased to 79]

[First Soul Skill Age Limit: Broken Branch Like a Dream - 1190 years → 1400 years]

[Second Soul Skill: A Dream of Peach Sword Token - 1950 → 2300.]

[Third Soul Skill: Scattered Petals and Flying Snow - 5060 years → 5800 years.]

[Fourth Soul Skill: Crimson Moon Peach Blossom - 13030 years → 14000 years]

[Fifth Soul Skill: Blazing Thousand Peach Slash - 25970 years → 30000 years]

[Sixth Soul Skill: Nine Luminaries Peach Blossom Sword - 51380 years → 63000 years]

[Seventh Soul Skill: Mortal True Body, 89500 years → 98000 years]

[Spiritual Field Nourishing Fertilizer: It can nourish the earth, gradually transforming ordinary land into a treasure trove capable of nurturing top-grade and even divine flowers and herbs.]

As the sun set, casting a dim, yellowish glow on the mountainsides, the workers who helped build the new campus gradually finished their shifts, and the sounds of cicadas and crickets began to fill the air. The moon quietly climbed into the night sky, and Su Ran finally looked at the fruits of her labor for the day and smiled.

The top-grade flower and herb seeds provided by the system, although not as good as immortal-grade flowers and herbs, are still rare. Moreover, they grow much faster than immortal-grade flowers and herbs. Once mature, they can be used to make soul bone nutrient solution and body-strengthening medicinal baths for students to nourish their bodies and strengthen their constitution.

Being a good teacher is difficult.

A teacher who loves his student will plan far ahead for him.

Su Ran was extremely worried about Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, especially Wang Sheng, who had the worst innate constitution. If he wasn't given some herbs, his soul power would probably be quickly surpassed by the other three female students.

"Mission accomplished."

After sowing the last few seeds, Su Ran placed the hoe in the makeshift farm shed.

Shrek Academy... oh no, it should now be called the new campus of Peach Blossom Academy.

The main road of the new campus of Taoyuan Academy is paved with white jade bricks that are one or two meters in size, which is very grand and luxurious, and is incomparable to the muddy road that Shrek used to have.

The road was planted with young peach trees. Because of Su Ran's martial soul characteristics, these peach trees grew very quickly. The trees planted on the first day could grow several centimeters taller on the second day, and in less than half a year, they could grow into tall and lush peach trees.

The moonlight was bright, but no matter how Su Ran looked at it, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of blood.

As soon as Wang Sheng entered the Foreign Languages ​​Department of the main campus, he was still practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist. His movements were powerful and resolute, and although he was simple and honest, he was also quite bold. Every punch and every stance made a hollow sound, and he had already become quite proficient in it.

Upon seeing Su Ran return, Wang Sheng withdrew his fists, cupped his hands slightly, and greeted her:
"teacher."

"Okay, let's tidy up and get ready for dinner."

Su Ran said calmly.

"Who?"

But at that moment, Su Ran's expression suddenly changed, and she smelled a fishy odor.

Turning around, I saw Xiao Wu standing weakly at the school gate, her body disheveled, with bloodstains on her legs from a hidden arrow wound.

Her hair was messy, making her look like a pitiful little beggar. A pair of rabbit ears on her head swayed slightly, and a fluffy white rabbit tail grew from her bottom. Even her hands had turned into soft rabbit paws, and she exuded the aura of a soul beast.

Her eyes were brimming with pitiful tears as she stood at the gate of Taoyuan Academy, watching Su Ran's retreating figure, sobbing.

"Su Ran... Teacher Su Ran, could you... save me—"

"Xiao Wu...you..."

Su Ran was stunned when he saw Xiao Wu's appearance.

This girl actually forcibly reverted to the original form of a soul beast, which means that she may have risked her life to use the power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast's origin, which would put her at risk of losing her life at any time.

"Su Ran... Teacher, save me... Please, save Xiao Wu..."

Su Ran stood there stunned for a moment.

Xiao Wu just looked at him pitifully. But when Xiao Wu uttered the last few words, her body went limp, and she fainted at the entrance of the academy.

……

"Wang Sheng, what's going on?"

"Isn't that the girl from Shrek Academy who's always following Tang San around? How did she get injured like this?"

"Why is she here at our Peach Blossom Academy?"

"I don't understand. The teacher said she needs to rest. Senior sisters, please go back."

As night fell, Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and Zhu Zhuqing were drawn to Wang Sheng's gaze as they watched Su Ran hurriedly carry the unconscious Xiao Wu back to the inner courtyard from the school gate. They all asked him questions.

Wang Sheng was also a little confused. He seemed to have vaguely seen the girl's rabbit tail. He didn't know if it was his imagination or if the girl was deliberately dressing up as a rabbit? Or was she in a state of martial spirit possession?
……

"Fengzhi, that child, seems to have entered Peach Blossom Academy."

"A 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast is truly precious, but I don't know why she would risk her life to run to Peach Blossom Academy."

"I wonder how Dean Su will deal with her."

Outside the academy, Ning Fengzhi often took Gu Rong for a stroll around the area these past few days. Occasionally, he would check on Rongrong's cultivation. Seeing the transformation of Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda filled him with immense joy, and he would even shed tears in private.

Among the young people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, few have achieved anything significant. Only Rongrong has some talent, and he has high hopes for her. At this moment, under Su Ran's guidance, Ning Rongrong has actually broken free from the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support system and stepped onto a completely new platform.

No one was more gratified than him. It's no exaggeration to say that he would have been willing to give up half of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in exchange for Rongrong's transformation.

That evening, he and Gu Rong were passing by Taoyuan Academy when they saw a disheveled white rabbit girl running towards the academy on another road, and they recognized her.

He intended to take her away, but by the time he came to his senses, Su Ran had already come out.

Gu Rong glanced at a secluded corner behind him and said calmly:

“Some villains are hunting her down, perhaps coveting a 100,000-year-old soul ring. This is a temptation that not everyone can resist.”

"..."

"You're still too soft-hearted, mistress."

“You shouldn’t have helped her unlock the chains, giving her a chance to escape, and you shouldn’t have hesitated to let her go.”

In the darkness, Tang Hao stared intently at the entrance of Taoyuan Academy. He dared not chase after it, and a sudden rush of blood to his head caused a sharp pain in his right shoulder.

"Dad, you seem to be badly injured."

"It's nothing serious, just a minor scratch."

“Dad, I understand what you mean… but Xiaowu is the love I grew up with… Sister, isn’t it too cold-blooded of you to keep her locked up like a wild animal…”

In the dim light, a look of pain appeared in Tang San's eyes. On one side was his father, and on the other was his childhood sweetheart sister. How should he choose?

"Foolish! Can't you see it now? She is a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast. Otherwise, she couldn't run so fast. Her growth potential is limitless. Just on her own body, a 100,000-year-old soul bone and a 100,000-year-old soul ring will be born."

If you can obtain these in the future, your strength will experience a qualitative leap. Not to mention, behind every 100,000-year-old soul beast, there will surely be knowledge of the existence of other high-age soul beasts, which will be extremely beneficial for you in the future when hunting soul rings for your second martial soul.

"If her heart were with you, that would be fine; in that case, everything she has would eventually belong to you. But her soul has already betrayed you. You have no choice but to do this, and you must do it. Unless, do you want to lose to the students of Peach Blossom Academy forever?"

"I...I want to win!"

When Tang San thought about losing to Peach Blossom Academy, a competitive spirit rose from the bottom of his heart. How could he not want to win after such a defeat?
But he seemed somewhat lost and his expression was complicated.

Does becoming stronger mean sacrificing those close to you?

Tang Hao sighed:

"Sigh... Parents love their children and plan far ahead for them. Little San, Dad is doing this for your own good. You don't understand what kind of power a 100,000-year soul ring will bring you."

I know you have feelings for that girl, and no one understands your situation better than me. But you must understand, this is a cruel world. If you're not strong enough, you don't have the right to talk about feelings.

"Never mind, she's already escaped anyway. Just don't regret your choice today later."

Tang Hao glanced warily at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong on the main road, then disappeared with Tang San.
