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

Chapter 123 The Three-Foot Green Bamboo Sword's Brilliance Amazes the Audience; Finalists Announced

The three beauties of the Papal Palace yearn for their beloved under the starry night, but cannot have him. They can only meet the Peach Fairy in their dreams, when their love overflows and their bed is filled with sweet fragrance.

The students from Taoyuan Academy, Tianshui Academy, and Botanical Academy were also busy. The girls whispered among themselves in the lobby of the Qibao Liuli Hotel, discussing their teacher's recent appearance.

The most active one was undoubtedly Shui Yue'er, who held her older sister Shui Bing'er's little hand, her bright eyes darting around. She never stopped talking next to Shui Bing'er, saying:
The decision to have my sister become my apprentice was truly the best decision I've ever made in my life! I, Shuiyue'er, am so amazing!
The three sisters from the Plant Academy, Yao Zi, Mu Yunzhu, and Mu Yunteng, never expected that the teacher they had chosen to study and become stronger would not only be exceptionally talented and powerful.

It turns out that the teacher's true appearance was the biggest killer move.

Once this tactic was employed, no one, regardless of age or gender, was spared.

If we're talking about sheer awe, perhaps no one could surpass Dugu Yan, who sat beside Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling's voice was soft and sweet. Seeing Dugu Yan sitting silently beside her, she was somewhat curious:
"Sister Yanzi, have you really studied with the teacher for a year without ever seeing the teacher's face? Why do you seem more composed than Senior Sister Rongrong and Senior Sister Xiaowu?"

Dugu Yan wiped her face with both hands and slumped onto the sofa:
"Calm down?"

"You're treating this as composure?"

"I'm filled with remorse; I've cursed myself countless times in my heart!"

"I am truly the stupidest and most idiotic fool on the continent!"

Ye Lingling's question only made things worse, because it caused Dugu Yan to explode.

I would like to ask, is there anyone here who has been diligently studying under a world-renowned teacher with unparalleled beauty for a year, watching the female students research how to conquer the teacher every day, yet thinking that the female students are ignorant, childish, and unreasonable brain-dead disciples?

Yes, that's right. Out of the seven core students present, I was the only one who was such a complete idiot.

……

"Girls, Teacher Su wants you to go back to your rooms and rest early. There are still matches to play tomorrow. There are only six teams that have advanced so far. Tomorrow, half of the teams will be eliminated to enter the finals. There is a high probability that one of your three teams will encounter the Spirit Hall Academy team. Teacher Su hopes that you can adjust your mindset, play well in the matches, and not focus on trivial matters."

Chen Xin, dressed in white, came down from the third floor of the hotel, making the girls think that their teacher had arrived. When they saw that it was Sword Douluo Chen Xin, the girls were somewhat disappointed.

"My young sect master, why do you seem unhappy to see Grandpa Sword? Do you dislike Grandpa Sword?"

Chen Xin noticed the disappointment on Ning Rongrong's face and said helplessly.

Ning Rongrong pouted, "It's not that I dislike Grandpa Jian, it's just that I'm not as happy as I am to see Teacher right now, sigh~"

"Teacher, really. He just showed his face and stole our hearts, then ran away without even coming to have a heart-to-heart talk with us or discuss tomorrow's tactics," Xiao Wu muttered.

"Alright, alright, what the teacher said makes sense. Everyone go back and get some rest. Don't overthink things. We can't let the teacher down. It would be best if all three of our teams could make it to the finals. The teacher would be very happy then. We need to do our best."

Ning Rongrong addressed the group of junior female students, saying that although this little princess Qibao used to be somewhat arrogant and willful, and was also one of the younger students among the senior brothers and sisters, she now truly had the demeanor of a 'senior sister'.

That's what they say, but even the 'sensible senior sister' can't let her teacher off so easily after the match!
Seeing that the girls were finally willing to go back to rest, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He walked outside, looked up at the starry sky, and sighed deeply.

Su Ran's Tai Chi sword was already amazing enough, but it was quite profound and didn't seem like something a young person could create. He had always thought Su Ran was over thirty or forty years old, but he looked a bit young.

Unexpectedly, this young man was not even twenty years old. A titled Douluo who was not even twenty years old, and he also possessed a set of unheard-of unique skills and theories.

This continent is truly about to change. What kind of era is this...?

The next day.

At dawn, the sun rises in the east, and the sky is just beginning to brighten.

The teachers and students of the five advancing academies had made preparations early and were waiting for the start of the competition in the arena in front of the Papal Palace.

However, what they were more looking forward to than today's competition was when Su Ran, a teacher from Taoyuan Academy, would enter the arena.

Su Ran, with her stunning looks, stands out from the crowd and attracts everyone's attention.

Leng Yuehan, the team leader from Tianshui College, kept pressing Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er for answers:
"Did Teacher Su Ran take you two as her disciples?"

"Do you think I, your aunt, have any hope of getting into Peach Blossom Academy?"

"Girl, mention your aunt's name to your teacher more often. Look at your aunt's figure and looks, she's not bad at all. How about she be your teacher's girlfriend?"

Shui Yue'er pouted, completely ignoring Leng Yuehan:

Please, my teacher isn't much older than me. She'd be more like my boyfriend. Auntie, how could you even think about that?
Leng Yuehan: This silly girl, how can she not even understand the principle of keeping the good stuff in the family? Isn't an aunt equivalent to a stepmother? Wouldn't it be better to go a step further and become a teacher's wife?
……

"Today's first knockout match: Tianshui Academy VS Dijia Academy."

"Today's second elimination match: Plant Academy VS Wind Sword Sect Academy."

"Today's third elimination match: Peach Blossom Academy VS Spirit Hall Academy!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the faculty and students of the academy, Su Ran led the students of Taoyuan into the arena.

The results of today's draw were released quickly.

……

Earth Armor Academy is a defensive earth-type martial soul academy in the Star Luo Empire. Although its overall defensive strength is not as strong as Elephant Armor Sect, its team combat ability is quite outstanding. It is good at constructing earth-shaped terrain for combat, and its graduates' employment direction should also be military combat.

The students of Dijia Academy were generally over twenty years old, and their soul power was similar to that of the Tianshui Academy team. However, water has a restraining effect on earth-type elements, and coupled with the powerful force of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Falling Ice and Snow, Tianshui Academy defeated Dijia Academy in a short time.

Tianshui College has successfully advanced to the semifinals.

……

Like the Elephant Armor Sect Academy and the Fire Leopard Sect Academy, the Wind Sword Sect Academy is one of the four lower sects.

Most of the members of the Wind Sword Sect are sword-type soul masters with wind attributes, and there are three soul sect members who are over level 40 in the team.

Facing off against the soul masters of the Wind Sword Sect Academy, Yao Zi and Mu Yunteng clearly felt the pressure, which was no less intense than their previous battle against the Blazing Fire Academy.

Both the Blazing Fire Academy and the Wind Sword Sect Academy possess martial souls that have a restraining effect on the soul masters of the Plant Academy.

Fire, intense heat, burning wood.

Sword, sharp edge, cuts through vines.

The Wind Sword Sect's Soul Masters can easily cut through the Plant Academy's control Soul Skills, even more efficiently than burning with flames.

It takes time for fire to burn the vines and wood.

A sword can cut through vines and bamboo in a moment, or even an instant.

After exchanging blows more than a dozen times, Mu Yunzhu clearly sensed that the Plant Academy was losing momentum. She nodded to Yao Zi and made a request:

"Captain, if this continues, we will definitely lose. Yun Teng's Green Vine makes it difficult for him to get close to the opponent, so the Green Vine Acupoint Strike Technique will be useless. Although your Vermilion Bird Whip Technique is more powerful and can fight against the opponent's Soul Master, it is not enough to defeat the enemy quickly."

"Since they're using swords, why don't we try that move and I'll take the lead?"

"My teacher said that the White Ape Sword Technique I have learned has the power to fight a hundred men and ten thousand men, and I can fight three thousand strong men alone without being at a disadvantage. What I lack now is soul power to strengthen the toughness of my green bamboo and the sword's aura."

After absorbing the precious flowers and herbs of Jianyuqing, Muyunzhu's green bamboo has become quite resilient. It is not afraid of fighting the sword-type soul master of Fengjian Sect in a 1v1 duel, but the opponent is multiple sword masters.

Yao Zi nodded, exchanged a glance with Mu Yun Teng, and the Crimson Flame Thorns and Green Vine intertwined, a powerful soul force converging on Mu Yun Zhu's body.

Although the three of them were not as good at fusion of their martial souls as those from Tianshui Academy, under the guidance of Teacher Su Ran, they were able to use a basic martial soul fusion technique even though they did not complete the fusion technique.

With the combined blessings of Yao Zi and Mu Yun Teng, crimson patterns sprouted on Mu Yun Zhu's green bamboo, and it gained the martial soul characteristics of both Green Vine and Crimson Flame Thorn.

"Sword Style: Azure Rain".

Mu Yunzhu's aura changed, her soul power reached level fifty or above, and the green bamboo in her hand shone brightly.

Alone with only a bamboo pole, she charged into the sword formation of the Wind Sword Sect. The green bamboo in her hand transformed into raindrops, moving through the formation at an extremely fast speed.

The teacher taught that the core of this sword technique lies in three things: speed, finding weaknesses by following the opponent's momentum, and attack power.

Only with sufficient speed can one take on multiple opponents.

Only by learning to seize the enemy's weaknesses can one defeat the enemy with minimal effort.

Only by possessing a certain level of attack power can effective damage be inflicted.

Only by integrating these three elements can one achieve something.

Although Mu Yunzhu has not yet mastered this sword technique, she has been diligently studying and comprehending it. Her speed and ability to follow the momentum are already remarkable among those of the same level. With the support of Yao Zi and Mu Yunteng's soul power, her attack power has also reached a new high.

The figure in green weaved through the crowd, her swordplay barely visible, only streaks of green sword energy flashing across the arena.

When the green figure stopped on the field, the sword-type soul masters of the Wind Sword Sect all had multiple sword wounds on their bodies. They lay on the ground, wounded and not daring to move, fearing that Mu Yunzhu's sword light would fall on them again in the next moment. They were already intimidated by Mu Yunzhu's swordsmanship.

As the saying goes:
Sword blossoms flashed like falling stars, and white sleeves fluttered, casting countless shadows.

With a light wave of her three-foot sword, she chills the enemy to the bone; her graceful figure shines brightly in the mortal world.

The College of Plant Sciences has successfully advanced to the semifinals!

Mu Yunzhu's imposing figure made the Plant Academy team, which was considered the weakest team in the finals, shine brightly.

The power of spirit fusion, yet another power of spirit fusion?

Do all of Teacher Su's students know how to use this move? Are Martial Soul Fusion Techniques and Martial Soul Fusion Techniques so worthless now?!

Chen Xin was also shocked. Only a sword-type soul master could understand just how exquisite Mu Yunzhu's swordsmanship was!
If this sword technique could be widely used, wouldn't every sword-type soul master be able to take on a hundred enemies?

It's important to understand that for most Soul Masters, high Soul Power doesn't mean invincibility. Even a Soul Douluo might lose to several Soul Saints working together.

Mu Yunzhu's White Ape Sword Technique is designed to accurately and quickly exploit each opponent's weaknesses, defeating them in a single move.

He could see clearly that if Mu Yunzhu hadn't held back, every sword strike that hit the Wind Sword Sect's soul masters would have been a killing move, and could very well have taken their lives!

However, Chen Xin finally shook his head:

Such exquisite swordsmanship, if not taught by Master Su himself, would likely be difficult to grasp even a tenth or a twentieth of its essence, even if the sword manual were given to someone else.
