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

Chapter 85: The top student from Peach Blossom Academy advances; Su Ran breaks through to level 90 in soul power.

"Captain, have you been secretly cultivating behind our backs? You broke through Canghui Academy's Asura Illusion Mirror so quickly!"

"You secretly practiced, sister! You definitely secretly practiced! Although you were strong before, you never reached this level. You broke through the Seven Asura Illusion in just ten seconds. Your speed is almost on par with Peach Blossom Academy."

"Teacher, did you secretly give the captain some tips before the competition? Is that why the captain was late?"

"No, I was just about to ask Bing'er, what happened when you just fell from the sky?"

In the battle between Tianshui Academy and Canghui Academy, Tianshui Academy emerged victorious with zero casualties, a feat achieved with astonishing speed.

It should be noted that before this, the illusion of Canghui Academy had caused headaches for all the academies. Even Shenfeng Academy and Leiting Academy had to pay the price of more than two teammates being seriously injured in order to get rid of the Seven Asura Illusion and launch a counterattack.

Even Leng Yuehan, the aunt of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who led the team from Tianshui Academy, looked at her with surprise.

Shui Bing'er pursed her lips and thought for a moment. She couldn't tell her teammate about Senior Peach Blossom's instant kill of the Canghui Academy teacher. If it were leaked, it might cause trouble for Senior Peach Blossom, and she herself might also be in danger.

Shui Bing'er said calmly, "This was taught to me by a senior master. He told me that the illusion mirror is a fiction. As long as one's own mental strength can withstand the pressure and one is brave enough to defeat the evil phenomena in the illusion mirror, one can shatter it."

Therefore, the Seven Asura Illusions of Canghui Academy are actually not strong at all; they merely rely on the fear of Soul Masters to buy time, creating opportunities for them to attack. The physical pain felt also stems from this.

Recalling Teacher Tao Hua's graceful and serene figure, Shui Bing'er's tone was filled with admiration. This Teacher Tao Hua was truly a remarkable person.

Among the dozens of teachers present, none had been able to devise a way to counteract the illusion over more than twenty days. However, this Teacher Peach Blossom was able to succinctly reveal the secret.

……

"Peach Blossom Academy vs. Knight Academy, Peach Blossom Academy wins."

"Peach Blossom Academy vs. Thunder Academy: Thunder Academy suffers a crushing defeat!"

"..."

"Congratulations to Peach Blossom Academy for securing first place in the Heaven Dou City qualifiers! They have achieved a magnificent record of 28 consecutive wins in 28 matches, making them the biggest dark horse in this competition. Could this be the team that Sect Master Ning mentioned as a contender for the Imperial Championship? They certainly have the strength to compete for the title!"

"So far, the Peach Blossom Academy team has been in a sorry state and injured, but they have never lost. Moreover, only when facing Divine Wind Academy and Thunder Academy has the Peach Blossom team shown the formidable strength of a seven-person team working together. Six ten-thousand-year spirit rings are truly astonishing!"

"But for some reason, the clash between Peach Blossom Academy and Thunder Academy is exceptionally fierce. Peach Blossom Academy, which usually holds back against other academies and maintains its so-called benevolence and gentlemanly demeanor, has become extremely aggressive in this match. Could this be their true strength?"

"A ten-thousand-year spirit ring is still a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. Even the powerful Thunder Academy cannot withstand the attack of a ten-thousand-year spirit skill."

"Please have the healing-type teacher carry the Thunder Academy teammate away. Captain Yu Tianxin doesn't look well. Hopefully, he can recover in time so it won't affect his subsequent promotion matches."

In the final match, Peach Blossom Academy utterly crushed Thunder Academy, making everyone realize the gap between the other academies and Peach Blossom Academy—a truly overwhelming difference in strength.

Prior to this, the Taoyuan Academy team had been using the matches as a training ground, fighting against outnumbered opponents and trying not to use their fourth soul skill, which is why some of the matches were extremely intense.

But once Taoyuan Academy unleashes its full potential and goes all out, no team in the Tiandou City division can compete with it!

Ultimately, Taoyuan Academy advanced to the next round with a perfect 28-game winning streak and zero losses, ranking first in their division.

The other four teams that advanced were the four major elemental academies.

……

After the preliminary rounds ended, in the peach orchard, Su Ran sat quietly under a peach tree, checking her teacher panel:

[Peach Blossom Academy achieved a 28-game winning streak in the preliminary rounds of the Heaven Dou City division, with total rewards including: a 20% to 50% increase in the age of each Soul Ring and Soul Bone, a 0.7-level increase in Soul Power, 3 Millennium Soul Bones, 1 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, and several advanced Grandmaster-level techniques and skills such as Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Dog Beating Stick Technique, and Nine Yin White Bone Claw.]

[Su Ran]

Main Martial Soul: Divine Peach Blossom Branch

[Soul Power: Level 90]

[The ninth spirit ring undergoes ultimate sublimation. For each victory in the qualifying rounds and finals, the host's ninth spirit ring will gain an additional 3000 years of age. For each achievement completed, such as "One Against Seven," "Team Light," "Unyielding Glory," or "Cross-border Training," the age limit will increase by an additional 1000 years.]

"Level 90."

Su Ran sensed the surging soul power within his body. After the preliminary rounds, his sixth soul ring had evolved into a 100,000-year soul ring. He now possessed three 100,000-year soul rings, greatly enhancing his strength.

Most importantly, his soul power has reached level ninety, which means that he only needs to absorb the ninth soul ring to break through to the Title Realm.

"Teacher, isn't it time to give out the reward?"

“We all got first place in our qualifying division. No, I heard from my dad that we were the best team in the entire continent’s qualifiers, with the most wins and we didn’t lose a single game.”

"We need a reward, otherwise we won't have the motivation to compete."

Just as Su Ran was studying the Peach Fairy Tribulation, the ninth soul skill, several students received their qualifying tokens. Smiles appeared on their pretty faces, and their eyes, brimming with autumn water, were fixed on Su Ran.

After nearly thirty matches, although all seven students performed well, they always felt that something was missing and they were somewhat mentally exhausted.

The children desperately need some stimulation and encouragement!
Without the loving rewards of a teacher, it's like an abalone without water or a flower bud without nectar—it lacks a soul.

"You girls have really worked hard this month. Now that the qualifiers are over, you'll have a few days to rest. I'll reward you with a holiday to have fun, no need to train anymore, okay?"

Watching Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran act coquettishly, Su Ran felt a touch of indulgence; he already considered these students very important people to him.

"No, no, we don't have anything we want to do during the holiday."

"So, will the teacher take you out for a picnic or a day trip?"

"Okay, I want to have a picnic with the teacher, oh no, I mean, a picnic."

"Going out with the teacher is nice, but it's not a reward for the competition."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as she grabbed Su Ran's hand, her face full of innocence: "Teacher, just like before! In the upcoming qualifying rounds, if you win a match, Teacher will kiss Rongrong, or Rongrong can kiss Teacher!"

Xiao Wu blinked: "Teacher... I just want the same reward as Senior Sister Rongrong."

Zhu Zhuqing, outwardly cold but inwardly warm: "Same."

“You little girls can’t have such thoughts about your teacher. I am your teacher, and you are not little girls anymore. In three to five years at most, you will all be adults. Such behavior can only be done with your husbands, understand?”

These young girls are all stunning beauties with graceful figures and rosy lips and white teeth; I'm afraid no man could resist their advances.

However, while food and sex are human nature, one should not be lewd or indulge in excessive sexual activity. One should not let wine and sex lead one astray.

"Husband? I don't want that. I want to marry only my teacher!"

"I also can't accept a man who marries someone else."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing murmured to themselves, "Ever since we saw our teacher's face, how could we possibly see anyone else?"

Xiao Wu murmured to herself, "I'm a soul beast, and soul beasts don't have teacher-student relationships."

Teachers, upright and honest, with profound knowledge and unparalleled beauty, teach with sincerity. Who else in the world can replace the teacher in their hearts?
