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

Chapter 78 Cherishing Time: Tang Tiancai, Unwavering in Poverty and Humiliation; Wang Xiaohu

"Captain, do you know anything about this Peach Blossom Academy? I've never heard of this academy before. They all have ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and they easily wiped out the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Although the second team of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is not very strong, it is not a weak team either. This Peach Blossom Academy is indeed a dark horse that has emerged out of nowhere."

"Look, isn't that the team leader from Peach Blossom Academy? He seems to have a good demeanor, but why is he wearing a mask? He's acting all mysterious."

With the first match over and the first day of the tournament concluded, Taoyuan Academy had become the focus of discussion among all the teams.

Several young and beautiful team members from Tianshui College were also very curious about Taoyuan College.

They also discovered something strange: the teacher at Peach Blossom Academy, judging from his figure and demeanor, should be quite young. Not only did he teach such an outstanding team, but he also wore a mask the entire time and never showed his face.

The Soul Master Competition is the grandest event on the continent, attracting the attention of all nobles and powers. Teachers from all the academies are eager to show their faces and make their presence felt, but the teachers from Peach Blossom Academy are an exception.

He had an air of detachment and otherworldly refinement, and spoke in a cool and indifferent manner. However, he seemed to be quite popular with the students. As soon as the students from Taoyuan Academy left the stage, they surrounded him with happy faces, asking for stickers. It was clear that the teacher-student relationship was very good.

The outstanding teams such as Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang from Blazing Fire Academy, and Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Divine Wind Academy, also took notice of Peach Blossom Academy during this competition.

After all, the fact that a group of people possess a fourth ring with a lifespan of ten thousand years is indeed something that could cause a sensation and even be recorded in the history of the Soul Master world.

……

"Third Brother, Third Brother!"

Outside the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, on the platform at the exit, as Yu Xiaogang led the Heaven Dou Royal Team away angrily, a man's shout rang out.

Oscar scratched his head: "Little Third, why did I hear someone calling 'Little Third Brother'? Was it calling you?"

Tang San glanced at the young man on the platform. The young man met his gaze, his face showing a hint of surprise. However, Tang San's gaze swept over him, he shook his head, and turned to leave.
"I don't remember. Let's go back to cultivate. We need to cherish our time now, because we can't afford to waste any more time."

Although the Peach Blossom Spring team did not unleash their full potential this time, the strength of their first and second soul skills, as well as their teamwork, showed that they had improved significantly and were very aware of the danger.

Seeing that Tang San ignored him, the young man looked embarrassed and had no choice but to give up.

……

Soon, Su Ran led the Taoyuan students to leave the Soul Arena first.

At the same spot, the young man saw Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng, and felt an increasing sense of familiarity. He mustered his courage and called out again:
"Wang Sheng! Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Who?"

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Wu looked a little confused; the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Xiao Chenyu! What are you doing here!"

Wang Sheng was somewhat surprised when he saw the young man's face clearly.

Isn't this Xiao Chenyu, their former leader who studied at Notting Academy and the son of the Lord of Notting City?
"Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu, is it really you?!"

"I just called out to Brother Xiao San, but he ignored me. I thought I had mistaken him for someone else!"

Xiao Chenyu received a response and was pleasantly surprised. He hadn't expected to see his classmate participate in the Soul Master Competition!

"Chenyu, come down quickly, we haven't seen each other in so long. What are you doing here?"

Wang Sheng stretched out his large hands and caught Xiao Chenyu as he jumped high off the platform.

Xiao Chenyu said, "This is the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, and the Heaven Dou City Division is the most exciting division in our Heaven Dou City. Of course, I came here first to watch the competition. I finally managed to get a ticket."

"I see. This isn't the place to talk. Let's go outside and talk."

As soon as they left the Great Soul Arena, Xiao Chenyu looked at Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng in disbelief and couldn't help but ask:
"I remember Sister Xiaowu and Brother Xiaosan were a couple, right? How come you two ended up on the same team? Isn't Brother Xiaosan with you?"

Wang Sheng left Notting Academy before Tang San and Xiao Wu enrolled, going to cultivate with Su Ran. Therefore, in Xiao Chenyu's mind, the two shouldn't know each other, while Xiao Wu and Tang San were a couple. However, Xiao Wu's expression turned sour when Tang San was mentioned, making Xiao Chenyu realize that something unpleasant might have happened. He quickly changed the subject:
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, that happened five or six years ago. It was just kids playing house."

"But you guys are really amazing now, I can hardly believe that you were the ones on the field just now."

Xiao Wu was already very strong back at Notting Academy, but Wang Sheng, how did you become so powerful? You used to be unable to even hunt down your first spirit ring, and now… a fourth spirit ring with a ten-thousand-year limit! What have you been doing for the past seven years?!

"It's a long story, but in short, I was lucky to have a good teacher. It was my teacher who taught me how to cultivate and helped me train my body, which is why I have the strength I have now. Otherwise, I might only be a first-ring Soul Master at most."

Wang Sheng touched his head. He was very grateful to his teacher for keeping him. He knew that he had little talent, so he cherished the opportunity to study at Taoyuan Academy.

"is it?"

"teacher?"

"Yes, this is my teacher, his surname is Su."

"Hello, Teacher Su. I am Xiao Chenyu, Wang Sheng's former classmate from the Junior Soul Master Academy."

Xiao Chenyu's gaze fell on Su Ran, and he bowed slightly to her. A teacher respected by the Soul Sect must be quite powerful, and he could not afford to be disrespectful in the slightest.

Su Ran nodded slightly. He didn't expect that Wang Sheng would actually run into an old classmate. He also had a bit of an impression of this Xiao Chenyu. He should be the one who was a one-ring Soul Master who dominated the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy, and then was beaten into submission by Xiao Wu and Tang San.
"It's not easy to meet up, Chenyu, why don't you come back with us and catch up?"

"Teacher, is that alright?"

Wang Sheng asked Su Ran for help. He was the only male classmate in the academy; the others were all his senior disciples. She was genuinely happy to see Xiao Chenyu, her male classmate.

“Okay,” Su Ran said calmly, leading them toward the Peach Garden Villa.

"That's great!" Wang Sheng said with a happy smile.

Xiao Chenyu, on the contrary, felt a little embarrassed:

"Is this a good idea? You guys have matches coming up, will my presence disturb your rest?"

"No, since he's an old classmate, why don't you chat with Shengzi? He's usually the only boy in our academy, and he's always quiet and only knows how to practice his boxing. It's rare to see him so happy."

Ning Rongrong, the senior sister, also spoke up. After speaking, she chased after Teacher Su Ran's back, demanding the reward for winning.

Wang Sheng patted Xiao Chenyu on the shoulder and laughed:
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? I remember you weren't this shy back then at Notting Academy. Why have you become so reserved?"

Xiao Chenyu sighed, "Sigh, don't say anymore. After you suddenly dropped out of school, Sister Xiaowu and Tang San came and beat me into submission. Two years ago, I barely managed to get into the intermediate soul master academy, only to realize how insignificant I was. There are too many powerful soul masters out there. If you accidentally say the wrong thing, you can easily offend someone and bring trouble upon yourself..."

"Wang Xiaohu, you're still the best. Even though you're so strong now, you don't look down on me."

Seeing that Wang Sheng was also seeing an old classmate, Xiao Chenyu's eyes welled up with tears, and his mood improved a lot.

"Of course, one of our school mottoes is 'Poverty and wealth should not corrupt us.' If I dared to give my old classmates a hard time, the teacher would probably punish me first. I don't want to be expelled."

"Huh? This is your school motto? I didn't know you had a school motto like this."

Xiao Chenyu was shocked.

"Of course, our teachers are very strict with us. They said it's okay to have less talent, but if you have less talent, you need to cultivate your mind. It's the impure mind that's beyond redemption. Although I don't know exactly what cultivating the mind means, I think it means to keep your original intention and never forget your goal."

"Your teacher, Ms. Su, is truly an extraordinary person."

Xiao Chenyu stared in amazement at Su Ran's pristine white figure. Just who was this masked teacher? How could she have taught Wang Xiaohu so well?

Wang Sheng nodded with a simple smile: "Teacher is the best teacher in the world. Meeting teacher is the greatest luck of my life!"
