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

Chapter 84 The Agreement to Become a Disciple with Shui Bing'er, The Soul Bone of the Illusion is Given to Lingling

"Bing'er, the host has announced that after Thunder Academy and Divine Wind Academy finish their match, it will be our turn. Prepare to enter the Soul Arena preparation area."

"Okay, I'll get ready and come over after I've organized everything. You guys go and prepare yourselves. Canghui Academy's Seven-Colored Gem has already achieved a seven-game winning streak, and they are only one win away from the current advancement line. They will definitely go all out today, so we can't underestimate them."

Outside the Great Battle Arena, at the Tianshui Academy's rest hotel.

The mirror reflected the fair-skinned, delicate features of a young girl. A few drops of water clung to Shui Bing'er's face; the cold water helped her stay awake.

Prior to this, Tianshui Academy had lost to Taoyuan Academy and Shenfeng Academy in succession. Although their ranking was currently within the qualifying range, there were still two or three matches to go, and they might face the risk of being eliminated if they were not careful.

As the captain of Tianshui College, she had to be extremely careful.

Taking a deep breath, as Shui Bing'er walked out of the hotel, intending to catch up with her teammates, the surroundings suddenly became very quiet.

She walked toward the stadium and found that the road had no end.

She seemed to be going around in circles, only to end up back where she started.

"Am I being too nervous?"

"No, there's something wrong!"

Shui Bing'er looked back and realized something was wrong. During the competition, most people were watching the matches. Although there weren't many people on the road, there was more than one Soul Fighting Arena, and the rest times were different. So, people would often come out to buy drinks and snacks during their breaks. But she had already circled around this road two or three times and had only seen one old man drinking tea!

"Could it be... an illusion! Canghui Academy!"

"As expected of the captain of Tianshui Academy, your vigilance is indeed very strong. Unfortunately, it's too late for you to discover it."

An elderly man in white appeared behind Shui Bing'er and spoke calmly.

"You're the instructor leading the team from Canghui Academy. Aren't you afraid of alerting the city's defense forces by attacking the participating students in Tiandou City?"

Shui Bing'er's expression instantly turned serious. At this crucial moment in the competition, she could guess what this Canghui Academy teacher was planning to do by trapping her in an illusion.

"Do you think this is still Heaven Dou City?"

"You can only blame your bad luck for letting me seize the opportunity. Originally, I wanted to make the students of Peach Blossom Academy disappear. After all, this academy is a rising star, and the risk of taking action against them is much lower than that of your four elemental academies."

Unfortunately, they clung to their teacher like glue, offering no chance whatsoever. For Canghui Academy to advance, the only option left is for the students of Tianshui and Chihuo Academies to disappear.

Shi Nian sneered, then didn't waste any more words. Shui Bing'er discovered it too quickly. She hadn't gone too far from Tian Dou City. The longer she delayed, the easier it would be to be discovered. If Tian Shui Academy found out that he had made a move against Shui Bing'er, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

"I love watching geniuses die painfully in my Broken Dream Martial Soul, especially a beautiful girl like you. It's a pity I can't enjoy you properly before tormenting you."

"you!"

Shui Bing'er's pretty face changed as she realized the surrounding scenery was beginning to shift. She found herself in the middle of a glacier, surrounded by ice-type soul beasts that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old—the Ice Jade Scorpion, the Ice Snow Python, and the Snow Bear—attempting to devour her body. Her entire body was covered in blood, her bones and tendons separated, a truly terrifying sight…

"The essence of illusion is the stripping away of the mind. All the scenery comes from illusion. Mental pain is only subjective. If you think it exists, it exists; if you think it is nothing, it is nothing. There is no need to be afraid."

Physical pain still stems from reality. Once you understand this, you'll know who is hurting you and what to do.

Just when Shui Bing'er was overwhelmed, a faint voice seemed to pierce through the icy plains and reach her ears.

Shui Bing'er stood there, stunned, and murmured:

"Is the essence of illusion just mental stripping? Nothingness... as long as I'm not afraid, they don't exist?"

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and swung it heavily at the terrifying ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in front of her.

Under normal circumstances, her punch would be nothing more than a tickle to a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but this time, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast in front of her swayed and almost collapsed.

She seemed to have found the feeling of guiding the soul power within her body. A wave of soul power rippled outwards, and the surrounding scenery changed again. She returned to the real world—on a small path only about one kilometer outside Tian Dou City.

"Who ruined my plans?!"

"It's you, the team leader from Peach Blossom Academy. What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Shi Nian noticed that behind him, a young man in white wearing a peach blossom mask was leaning against a big tree, calmly watching him.

"puff--"

"I'm too lazy to say anything more to someone like you who maliciously disrupts the competition environment and ruthlessly kills students. Go reflect on your actions in the deepest hell."

Behind Su Ran, a terrifying Yama of Hell appeared, directly suppressing Shi Nian and dragging him into the fiery hell. With a bloodcurdling scream, he was burned to ashes in just a few dozen seconds.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior, and for teaching me how to break free from illusions. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Shui Bing'er's pretty face showed surprise. Although she had noticed this teacher from Peach Blossom Academy before, she did not know much about him. She did not expect his strength to be so terrifying. He burned her to ashes with a wave of his hand.

"It was nothing. If you want to repay me, you can come and take my apprenticeship test after the competition and become my disciple. I don't have any ice-type disciples yet, so I can consider training one," Su Ran said calmly.

"Huh? Become an apprentice?"

Shui Bing'er was stunned for a moment.

"You don't want to? Then forget it."

"Senior, you've taught seven such outstanding students and possess such formidable power. It's an honor for Bing'er to become your disciple. After the competition..."

Shui Bing'er checked the time: "Oh right, the competition! Senior, if you'd like to teach me, I'd be happy to be your disciple. But my team's competition is about to start, and I have to rush back!"

Shui Bing'er bowed to Su Ran and hurriedly ran towards Tian Dou City.

"Let me give you a ride. You'll need to undergo an identity check to re-enter the city, and I'm afraid you won't have enough time. Hold on tight!" Su Ran took a peach blossom branch and, using her sword-flying technique, flew away.

Holding the peach blossom branch, Shui Bing'er took to the air and flew at an extremely fast speed to the Heavenly Battle Arena.

These peach blossom branches made Shui Bing'er exclaim in her heart: "So big, so thick, so fast!"

At that time, it was the time when Shenfeng Academy defeated Leiting Academy and Tianshui Academy was preparing to go on stage. Tianshui Academy's teammates were all pacing around because their captain hadn't arrived yet. A few peach blossoms fell, and Shui Bing'er grabbed a peach blossom branch and fell down.

Host: "Where did the peach petals come from? Where did the celestial being come from?"

Shuiyue'er: "Sister, why did you make such a grand entrance?"

Xuewu: "Captain, how can you fly?"

……

"Teacher, where did you go just now?"

"I've noticed that recently, several sexy female teachers from Tianshui, Chihuo, and other academies have been approaching you at the competition area. Teacher, you're not going on dates with them behind our backs, are you?"

"You're back so late! Let Xiaowu smell if your teacher smells like a woman! Xiaowu has the best nose!"

"I smell it! It's a young girl's scent, so gentle! Teacher, you've been on a date with another girl!"

When Su Ran returned to Taoyuan, several students were already in the courtyard, frantically wondering where their teacher had gone.

As soon as Su Ran returned, several students eagerly surrounded her, asking where their teacher had gone. An outsider might have mistaken them all for the teacher's stern wife.

Senior Sister Ning Rongrong said: "We should keep the good stuff in the family. How the sisters compete is our internal business, but we must never let outsiders steal our teacher away."

Collective interest: Protecting the chastity of teachers!
"What are you girls thinking about all day long? If you keep thinking nonsense, the teacher will have to give you a good spanking."

"No, teacher!"

"I want to be disciplined by the teacher's cane, but not a pointer!"

"You two deserve the most punishment, Xiao Wu and Yi Ran. You haven't tasted the feeling of being slapped on the hand yet, have you?"

“Yes, the teacher is right.” Ning Rongrong agreed wholeheartedly.

Since Rongrong started trying to take the virtuous and wise route as captain, and everyone got to know her, Xiaowu and Meng Yiran are the most playful.

Zhu Zhuqing is aloof and doesn't talk nonsense.

"I think they all deserve to be beaten."

"Look, what is this?"

Su Ran said calmly, walked to the table under the peach tree, sat down, drank a cup of tea, and surrounded by six students, took out a round bone from the peach blossom mask. It was about three inches in diameter and shimmered with a faint seven-colored light. It looked like a miniature skull.

"This is...soul bone!"

"Head Soul Bone!"

"Teacher, where did you get the soul bone?"

"It's a secret. This is a head spirit bone. Actually, you can all absorb it. If you choose the best one, it should give Rongrong an additional spirit support skill."

"If we give it to Lingling, her Nine-Turn Black Lotus will condense more smoothly and quickly, reducing the pain of her cultivation, and it will also benefit her cultivation of the Soul-Seizing Technique."

"Of course, Yan Xiaoliu and Yiran will also gain a significant boost after absorbing it."

"You decide who gets this soul bone."

Su Ran gave the students the right to absorb the soul bone.

As a teacher, he can share and use the soul bones and soul skills that his students absorb, although the increase in his soul power will be smaller. However, this will greatly benefit the students' future cultivation.

A teacher of benevolence, whose love knows no bounds.

"Teacher, please give it to Lingling."

Ning Rongrong said.

"What? Don't you want to have an additional mental support skill?"

Su Ran was actually quite pleased that Ning Rongrong could say that.

Ning Rongrong said, "Lingling needs it most right now, and Teacher, you said that this head soul bone can alleviate Lingling's pain in cultivating the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus. Every time I see Lingling covered in cold sweat and her meridians turning blue from the pain of cultivation, I feel pain myself. As the captain, teammate, classmate, or friend, I hope that her pain can be alleviated."

"Moreover, if Lingling masters the Soul-Capturing Technique, it will also benefit our competition."

Hearing Ning Rongrong say this, Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran nodded in agreement.

"Captain Rongrong is right, teacher. Give it to Lingling, she's the one who needs it the most."

Tears welled up in Ye Lingling's eyes; she was deeply moved.

She didn't have such good teammates at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?"
