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

Chapter 62: The Heartbreaking Red Tests True Feelings; The Teacher Sweats profusely.
"Teacher, how come you went out for a short while and then brought back another female student, and she's even a girl who was on the same team as Shrek before!"

"Teacher, our academy has drained all the female students from Shrek Academy!"

"I don't know if the girls at Shrek Academy are dry or not, but since the teacher isn't here these two days, I won't get wet."

At Taoyuan Academy, in the classroom, when Su Ran introduced the new classmates to several students, Ning Rongrong stared wide-eyed at the newly enrolled Dugu Yan with extremely resentful eyes.

I'll have to write a letter to my dad later and ask him what to do about the fact that the teacher always takes female students as his disciples. There are so many rivals in the academy.

Ning Feng replied: Silly girl, don't panic. You should only panic if your teacher prefers male students.

……

"I second that. Our Taoyuan Academy is currently facing a severe shortage of male students." Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand calmly.

It doesn't really matter whether there are male students or not, but I hope the teacher will stop accepting female students. Every female student means another potential rival for their partner!

"Alright, it's a good thing to have new classmates. Let's complain less and welcome the new classmates."

Only Wang Sheng was clapping.

Meng Yiran said irritably, "The only male student in our college is an idiot. This new student's grandfather almost poisoned you to death not long ago, and you still clapped."

Wang Sheng scratched his head: "That doesn't matter. As long as the teacher accepts a student, I think they're good."

Good students, take a good look. What makes a good student? This is a perfect example of a good student.

If every student were as obedient as Wang Sheng, Su Ran's life would be much easier.

"Alright, Poison Douluo had a conflict with our Peach Blossom Academy before. Now that Poison Douluo has apologized and you have forgiven him, the matter is over."

Furthermore, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo will be responsible for protecting our Peach Blossom Academy in the future, so everyone should not look at Xiao Liu with prejudice, understand?

Su Ran tapped on the podium. In the classroom, Teacher Su Ran exuded a teacher's authority, especially when she picked up the bamboo stick; no student dared to laugh or joke.

Dugu Yan was the sixth disciple, so Su Ran called her Xiao Liu.

"Here are also some gifts I got from Poison Douluo for everyone: immortal-grade flowers and herbs. Although some of you have already absorbed immortal-grade herbs, you can keep one for each of you to keep with you and absorb it when you break through to level 40 or 50."

Su Ran tapped her peach blossom mask, from which several celestial flowers and herbs appeared:

"Rongrong - Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. After you absorbed the Vajra Glazed Flower, your limbs and meridians have been opened. You can absorb this immortal item when you reach the sixth level of the Golden Bell, which will allow you to directly reach the seventh level without any obstacles."

"Meng Yiran - Longing for the Dew, suitable for you as a control-type Soul Master and the Undead Summoning Technique, you can rely on it to open the second gate of the undead."

"Zhu Zhuqing - Narcissus Jade Skin and Bones, you can use its power to help you cultivate the power of the Third and Fourth Halls of Yama."

"Wang Sheng - Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, this item can help you strengthen your foundation and remove impurities, allowing your aptitude and martial spirit to undergo a second transformation. It will be very useful to you."

"Xiao Wu, you should take this 'Heartbreak of Longing' flower... or this 'Fragrance of the Fairy' flower instead, it should be useful to you."

Life at Peach Blossom Academy was far too luxurious. While Shrek Academy students were overjoyed to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and get a better cultivation environment, Su Ran had already distributed immortal-grade flowers and herbs to the students for the second time.

As for Dugu Yan, Su Ran had already helped her absorb the immortal herbs and flowers at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, completing her physical transformation. Moreover, Dugu Yan had broken through level 40 and absorbed her fourth soul ring, which is why it took her two days to return to the academy.

Currently, Dugu Yan has the highest soul power level among the six students, and of course, she is also the oldest.

"Teacher, what is that red-petaled flower? Why did you want to give it to Xiaowu, but then changed it halfway through?"

Meng Yiran was quick-witted and noticed Su Ran's little trick.

Su Ran said helplessly, "This red-petaled flower is called 'Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.' It is the king of flowers and is very suitable for Xiao Wu to absorb. It also has a touching love story... So unfortunately, only the blood of true lovers can move this Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red."

Su Ran sighed. Originally, this Acacia Heartbreak Red belonged to Xiao Wu. Keeping it by her side could help Xiao Wu conceal her soul beast aura, but that was only because Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship had not broken down. Now... is it still okay?

"So, it can test our true love?"

"That's true, but since none of you have a lover right now, you can't activate this Acacia Heartbreak Red."

If Su Ran hadn't said anything, it would have been fine, but now that she had, the students in the academy were all intrigued.

"Teacher, since you said it suits me, I still want to try this Acacia Heartbreak Red."

At this moment, Xiao Wu actually raised her hand and chose the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

"You can try, but it will most likely fail."

Su Ran said that even he himself could not absorb this immortal-grade flower, let alone these students.

However, since Su Ran himself possesses a supreme immortal-grade martial soul, the effects of these immortal-grade items on improving Su Ran's physique are actually quite weak.

"It's okay, I want to try."

"Yes, you can. Activate your qi and blood, cough up a mouthful of blood and sprinkle it on the Acacia Heartbreak Red. If it is willing to fall off the Black Stone, it means it has accepted you."

Su Ran suspended the Acacia Heartbreak Red on the podium and told Xiao Wu how to activate it.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, walked to the podium, and with a surge of emotion, spat a mouthful of blood onto the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

A crimson aura connected with Xiao Wu's thoughts, causing the flowers of the Acacia Heartbreak Red to tremble violently. Scenes of Xiao Wu and Tang San disciplining those hooligans at Notting Academy flashed through her mind, but the final image changed to being chased by Tang San and Tang Hao. The dark scene of retrieving the Soul Ring surged into her mind, making Xiao Wu feel a chill in her heart and tremble with fear.

Startled, Xiao Wu spat out another mouthful of blood.

The red acacia blossom, symbolizing longing and heartbreak, stopped trembling instantly.

Su Ran sighed, "It seems we've failed again."

This is truly a tragedy.

"Hmm?" Just as Su Ran was sighing, Xiao Wu recalled that stunning moment from back then. Her teacher's unparalleled face appeared in her mind, as if a ray of light had shone upon her.

Then came the heartwarming scenes after escaping to the academy, which warmed Xiao Wu's heart. The red acacia blossoms, symbolizing longing and heartbreak, began to sway and fall away!

"Success?!"

The other students stared wide-eyed.

Xiao Wu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face lighting up with joy: "Teacher, I succeeded! Does this mean it approves of me?"

"Yes...you succeeded, this shouldn't be happening, how could you...you wouldn't be—"

Su Ran looked at Xiao Wu with some surprise. Xiao Wu was holding the Acacia Heartbreak Red petal and staring at her with a dazed expression, a bright smile on her face.

This made Su Ran's heart skip a beat. Oh no... Could it be that Xiao Wu wasn't thinking about Tang San, but about her master?!

Is this "Love-Sickness-Breaking-Heart Red" a mistake?
Is the bond between a master and his student considered a true relationship?

You've only been a disciple for less than half a month, and you can already detect true love???

I'm a teacher!
Can the character for "teacher" (師) also be wet?
"Xiao Wu, you still can't forget your third brother? Honestly, he's plain-looking and deep-thinking. What's so good about him?"

Ning Rongrong thought that Xiao Wu had successfully gained the approval of the Acacia Heartbreak Red because she was thinking of Tang San.

At the same time, she also said with a hint of hesitation: "Teacher, Xiaowu has gained its approval, can we still give it a try? I'm not going to compete with Xiaowu for this Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red Flower, I just want to see if its power to detect true feelings is authoritative, so that Xiaowu won't misunderstand her own feelings and go astray!"

"That's possible. Once this 'Heartbreak Red' sheds its skin and recognizes its owner, it will reject the blood of others. It will only be willing to absorb the blood of a true lover. So, as long as the blood of the person being tested falls on it and is absorbed by it, making it even more radiant, it can also prove that it is true love."

"But you shouldn't get involved in this. You're still young, so focus on your cultivation. Don't be too attached to these matters of the heart."

Su Ran was a little scared.

"But I still want to try!" Ning Rongrong walked up to Xiao Wu and forced out a mouthful of pale silver-red blood. The color of the blood indicated that Ning Rongrong's cultivation of bone and blood refinement had made some progress.

"I also want to know if what I have is true love. I want to get tested too."

Even the usually taciturn Zhu Zhuqing stood up and gently spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

“Although I know my own feelings, since you two have both taken the test, I can’t fall behind. I’ll take it too!” Meng Yiran said, following suit.

Wang Sheng smiled sheepishly upon seeing this.

Dugu Yan sat to the side, her face slightly cold. "How come all the girls at Taoyuan Academy are love-obsessed? Is there nothing else on their minds besides love?"

Ten seconds later.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran all stared wide-eyed as they watched the Acacia Heartbreak Red miraculously absorb all three of their blood, swaying slightly and shimmering with light. They were overjoyed.
"Teacher, I meant it!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but scream.

"So this is what true love feels like. I'll remember it." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. Although she didn't shout it out like Ning Rongrong, she was still very excited.

Meng Yiran blinked: "I told you, love at first sight is true love!"

"Hey? Where's the teacher?"

"Teacher, don't run away!"

"Teacher, come back and look me in the eye!"

They turned around and saw that their teacher, Su Ran, had already left the school and was leading Dugu Yan towards the training ground.

……

Dugu Yan looked puzzled:
"Teacher, if I'm not mistaken, when they were testing their sincerity with the Love-Sickness Red, it seemed like their eyes were seeing your image?"

She found it strange that the girls from Taoyuan Academy seemed to look at the teacher with a slightly different gaze.
Upon hearing this, Su Ran broke out in a cold sweat; he needed to think of a solution.

How can we nip this unhealthy trend of infatuation with teachers in the bud?

"You must have seen it wrong... It's probably just a reflection of the light because I was standing close enough. And Xiao Liu, you must never follow their example. Early romance is a bad thing."

"Well, teacher, I'm already an adult, so even if I'm in a relationship, it doesn't count as puppy love."

“That makes sense.” Su Ran was stunned for a moment before realizing that Dugu Yan was actually an adult, over 18 years old.

"Teacher, I have another question. Why do you wear a mask every day? You haven't taken it off even once in the past few days, and you even have to cover your face when you return to the academy."

Logically speaking, wearing a mask is only to avoid being recognized by outsiders in public. Why should a teacher be so wary of their students?

Dugu Yan looked into Su Ran's eyes, a hint of allure in them. Although Su Ran was wearing a mask, she could sense the unusual aura emanating from her teacher, as well as the shape of his bright eyes and face. Everything about him suggested that the teacher might be a handsome man.
This made her very curious. She had already become a disciple, so why wouldn't he even let her see his face?

Women have always had an unusually strong desire for handsome men.

"Ahem... Yan Xiaoliu, you must remember, there's no need to care about those who are superficial in appearance. Just remember that I am your teacher and can teach you to become a strong person."

Su Ran saw Dugu Yan's thirst for knowledge and solemnly changed the subject, determined not to let this newly accepted disciple repeat the same mistake!
“Yan Xiaoliu, although you are already an adult, this is not a good thing in our academy. Zhu Qing, Rong Rong, Xiao Wu... they are only twelve years old, but their soul power is not much lower than yours. In terms of strength, you can't even beat them. What you need most now is to intensify your cultivation, just like Xiao Wu.”

"Next, I will teach you three unique skills."

"The basic martial arts techniques—Snake Fist and Dragon Fist—belong to the same category of Xingyi Quan as the Tiger Fist that Wang Sheng practiced before. Snake Fist is compatible with your martial soul and can bring out the yin and soft characteristics of snake martial soul. Your Jade Phosphorous Serpent is also a rare dragon martial soul. Combined with Dragon Fist, it can bring out even stronger offensive power."

You can first master the Snake Form Fist, then evolve it into the Dragon Form Fist. After you've mastered both forms, I will teach you more advanced techniques.

"The third method is your core cultivation technique—the Calamity Poison Art. By cultivating this technique, you no longer need to suppress the corrosive effects of your Azure Phosphorous Serpent venom on your body. Instead, you can nourish your body with the poison, transforming it into your soul power, which becomes Calamity. Upon mastery, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent body can transform into the Calamity Poison Body—"
