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

Chapter 198 The Teacher Expels Students for the First Time: A Man Can Endure Hardships, But Not Humiliation (Bonus Chapter)
[Avalanche, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Martial Soul: Swan, Age: 30, Soul Power Level: Soul Master, Innate Aptitude Rating: B-.]

[Xue Ke, Princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, Martial Soul: Swan, in her prime, Soul Power Level: Level 22 Great Soul Master, Innate Aptitude Rating: B+.]

In front of the Red Maple Hall at Peach Blossom Academy, Su Ran sat calmly on a stone bench under a red maple tree. She glanced at Xue Beng and Xue Ke, her peach-colored eyes reflecting their aptitude. The Heavenly Dou Royal Family's combat strength was not outstanding, so Xue Beng and Xue Ke's talents were not particularly high either.

Tang Yuehua was elegant in demeanor, but her eyes kept drifting towards Su Ran. This was truly the most... she had ever seen before. She performed a courtly curtsy and said:
"Prince Avalanche was eager to learn and acted impulsively. Please forgive him, Teacher Su."

"Prince Avalanche, apologize to Teacher Su now!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng reluctantly said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Su, I acted impulsively."

"You should apologize to him, not me."

Su Ran glanced at Xue Beng indifferently, then pointed at Wang Sheng.

Su Ran had some impression of Xue Beng; he was quite arrogant and domineering. It was said that he was faking it, but whether he was really faking it or just pretending, she didn't know.

"Apologize to him? No, Teacher Su, what right does he have? Isn't he just a country bumpkin who guards the gate? Do I, a prince, need to apologize to a gatekeeper? Does he deserve it?"

Xue Beng glanced at Wang Sheng. This guy had an ordinary temperament, an unremarkable appearance, and a rustic look. He was obviously a commoner. What kind of prince apologizes to his subjects?

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran's eyes narrowed, and her expression changed instantly.

"Prince Avalanche, don't forget His Majesty's instructions: once you arrive at Peach Blossom Academy, listen to Teacher Su."

Tang Yuehua noticed that Su Ran's expression was off and quickly reminded her.

"Ok."

Xue Beng recalled what his father had said: Peach Blossom Academy would definitely become one of the top academies on the continent in the future, and might even become a sect like the Three Upper Sects. It would be a great help to his future ascension to the throne. He swallowed hard and was about to apologize to Wang Sheng with a look of disgust.

Unexpectedly, Su Ran spoke first, but she wasn't addressing Xue Beng; she was addressing Wang Sheng.

Su Ran waved his hand, and all the gold and silver treasures he had retrieved from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were placed under the large red maple tree in the center. He then said:

"Wang Sheng, your dignity and your family's dignity must be earned through your own fists."

"This is the compensation your teacher fought for for you, and also the funds your teacher gave you to start a new home. These treasures are enough for your future wife to live a good life without having to work hard. But if you want to get them, your teacher has a test. Only after you pass this test will they belong to you and your future wife."

"A husband should be strong, a father should be firm. A man is like a mountain, able to withstand wind and rain, able to endure countless carvings, but never to be humiliated."

"Your Highness, do you dare to hit me?"

"Throw him out of the academy. All these dowry items belong to your future wife, and also prove that you are determined to support a family."

Su Ran coldly said, these words made Wang Sheng tremble, and also made his mind resolute, his eyes fixed on the avalanche like a tiger:

"I dare."

"Disciple will obey Master's orders!"

"You dare! I am the only prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Have you thought about the consequences if you dare to hit me?!"

boom!
The moment the Tiger Fist was unleashed, it seemed as if the air itself resounded with the roar of a tiger. With a few sudden steps, to the astonishment of Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke, he delivered a punch directly to Xue Beng's abdomen.

The avalanche's body flew hundreds of meters away like a kite with a broken string, blood immediately seeping from its mouth.

"In feudal kingdoms, imperial power is divinely granted, commoners are as lowly as ants, and royalty are the most esteemed. However, at Peach Blossom Academy, regardless of gender, background, or aptitude, everyone must adhere to one principle: equality for all beings and the importance of knowing and observing etiquette."

"Even if you are a prince, insulting my disciple and trampling the school gate is a provocation. Now that you have been beaten out, don't come back. I will not accept you as my disciple."

Wang Sheng relentlessly punched Xue Beng, displaying immense strength, sending him flying until his body, covered in fist wounds, crashed outside the school gate, lying on the ground like a dead dog, his voice weak.

"I'm the future Heavenly Dou Emperor! You won't accept me? And you even hit me... I'll just... *spit*"

...Teacher Su Ran's words left everyone from the royal family speechless.

At this moment, Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke were speechless. Su Ran's teachings were both reasonable and firm.

Su Ran merely glanced at them indifferently:
"You all have some manners, please make yourselves at home."

"Teacher Su...Teacher Su! I want to become your student, and I want to stay at Taoyuan Academy to study!"

Xue Ke mustered her courage and took a step forward.

The teaching style of this academy is truly different from other places. Regardless of gender or social status, men and women are all given the same qualifications?!
Daughters of the royal family may be born with favor, but their power can never compare to that of princes. Without fiefdoms or official positions, they are destined to become victims of political marriages, just like Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.

These were refreshing remarks for Xue Ke, making her even more excited.

Su Ran turned and glanced at her. "Your brother has already been beaten up and kicked out. You still want to stay here and study?"

"Well, it's his business if he gets kicked out. I don't like him or agree with him. My studies are my own business."

Xue Ke nodded.

"It's up to you. Since you have such a thirst for knowledge, you can study with the academy's registered disciples first. This place is not like Tiandou City, where everyone will indulge you. If you can endure it and abide by the school rules, then we can talk about becoming disciples later."

After Su Ran finished speaking, her figure disappeared from the spot.

Xueke clenched her little fists: "I can do it!"

Tang Yuehua: "Since the princess is willing to stay, then I will naturally follow His Majesty's wishes and accompany the princess to study here."

……

"Are these all betrothal gifts that the teacher prepared for Senior Brother Wang Sheng?"

"So many gold and silver jewelry pieces! Wow~ This pair of dragon and phoenix jade ornaments is so beautiful. Even royal prizes wouldn't be this extravagant!"

"Senior Brother Wang Sheng is getting married soon, we should also work hard to graduate as soon as possible, and then win over our teacher!"

After the teacher left, Shuiyue'er and the other students looked at the treasures the teacher had left for Wang Sheng as a betrothal gift, their eyes filled with envy. It wasn't greed, but envy that he had finally found someone to spend his life with.

This also greatly provoked them.

But Shui Bing'er sighed:

"But graduating is too difficult. We haven't even reached the perfection level of our basic skills like Senior Brother Wang Sheng yet."

"Are all these valuables left by Teacher Su for that male disciple's wedding?"

Hearing the students sigh, Tang Yuehua walked over and asked gently.

Several of the female disciples felt indignant on behalf of Senior Brother Wang Sheng and were reluctant to talk to her and Xue Ke.

Shui Bing'er nodded politely:
"Yes."

"I didn't expect to arrive so coincidentally, just in time for the academy's disciple's wedding. We deeply regret that Prince Xue Beng offended this disciple earlier. Since Ke'er can stay and study, I would like to offer a song, 'Rainbow Skirt and Dragon and Phoenix in Harmony,' as a token of my apology. Is that alright?"

Tang Yuehua said modestly that her expertise had indeed come in handy.

“You’ll have to talk to the teacher about that. But even if you’re sincere, with Xue Beng’s terrible attitude, it’s impossible for him to get into our academy,” Meng Yiran said.

"It's alright, I didn't jump for Prince Avalanche."

Tang Yuehua smiled slightly and said, "I dance and play music for Teacher Su!"
