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

Chapter 214 Drawing the First Trial Ground: Seagod Island

"If you want to become a god, you must first understand this."

"What is God? What is God?"

Below the podium, several disciples, including Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran, sat upright. Unexpectedly, the teacher's first question left them slightly stunned.

"Report! God is a legend, a myth, a supreme and inviolable being!"

"God is the limit of a Soul Master, an insurmountable barrier to the end of Soul Master cultivation. In a single thought, God can decide the life and death of every Soul Master."

Shuiyue'er and Shuibing'er raised their hands to answer one after the other.

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran also agreed. Although they had never directly encountered the power of the gods, legends about gods were not uncommon. In some places, there were even festivals and activities to worship the gods. Therefore, their impression of the gods was one of reverence, respect, mystery and holiness!
"No, God is not supreme. God is also a human being, just like you, a living human being."

Su Ran's words sent a shiver down Shui Bing'er's spine, leaving them in disbelief.

"Teacher, how can a god be a human... It's said that a god's lifespan can be as long as that of a soul beast..."

"I once heard my grandfather say that gods can even easily create titled Douluo powerhouses, which is something that is beyond human capability."

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"That's right, gods can transform soul masters, and even grant them immortality."

"But you must understand that many gods also came from humans breaking through their limits, but what exactly are these limits?"

"For Soul Masters at level 10 or above, Soul Douluo and Title Douluo are insurmountable and inviolable beings with long lifespans. Resources given to them casually can change the course of their lives. But aren't Title Douluo human beings?"

"If you feel that a certain realm exists and that it is unattainable, and you cannot overcome this feeling, then you will never be able to surpass it."

"What truly makes gods powerful is order. They exist with order, borrowing its power—the order of ice, or the order of water. When you understand and control this power of order to its fullest extent, and even surpass it, then you too are a god."

Su Ran stood on the podium, speaking with great enthusiasm about the power of God.

The disciples in the academy didn't know whether what their teacher said was right or wrong, because it was something beyond their comprehension. If the Soul Master knowledge they had learned before was just complicated, at least they could understand it. But now, even understanding it was a challenge. They were completely bewildered. What was this order? What was this immortality?
It's like a middle school student accidentally wandering into a high school physics classroom—it's too mind-bending.

Seeing the confusion on the students' faces, Su Ran sighed inwardly. Sure enough, it was too early to teach these things to the girls. They hadn't even witnessed the power of the gods and didn't know much about them, so how could they understand the composition and essence of the gods?
"It seems that teaching still cannot be separated from divine examinations, which are the quickest way for girls to get close to the gods."

Su Ran thought to himself, having figured this out, the known locations of divine inheritance on the Douluo Continent came to mind:
[The City of Slaughter, the ruins of the Asura God's legacy, have fallen into the clutches of Peach Blossom Academy.]

In the far north, there dwell the descendants of an ancient ice god, whose ruins lie hidden deep within.

[The land where the Nine-Colored Goddess passed down her legacy, its ruins nestled within the Nine-Colored Flower Valley.]

The position of Rakshasa has already been chosen as a successor.

[In the western seas, on Poseidon Island, the relics of the Poseidon's legacy are growing stronger...]

[The system has detected that the academy's divine ascension plan is underway. Over the next five years, the rewards earned by leading disciples through the divine trials will be doubled and returned to the host, along with additional system rewards.]

【Please select the location for your first divine test: 1. Nine-Colored Flower Valley. 2. The Far North. 3. Seagod Island.】 Just then, the system's voice rang in Su Ran's mind, giving him a choice.

Without hesitation, Su Ran chose the third option, Poseidon Island.

The Nine-Colored Goddess of Nine-Colored Flower Valley is of a very low caliber. Although she is a goddess, her role as a secondary support-type deity is too ineffective.

The far north is located in a frigid region, ravaged by blizzards, and no one has ever ventured deep into it, so it is not the first choice.

Poseidon Island had a conflict with the Spirit Hall, and its exact location could be found out. Although the dangers hidden in the vast ocean were no less than those in the far north, there were still places to rest in the ocean.

[Choose Poseidon Island.]

[Please lead your disciples to the assessment within one year.]

[The host is rewarded with a 10% increase in the age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones, 2 Water-type Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, and 1 Top-Grade Ocean Fishing Rod.]

As Su Ran made her choice, the system issued a reward.

To Su Ran's amusement and exasperation, the system even gave her a fishing rod.

Is this for his leisure fishing trip, in case he gets too bored drifting on the ocean?
Having chosen the first testing ground for the disciples, Su Ran slowly regained his senses and addressed the disciples below the platform:
"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. The knowledge about gods may be difficult for you to understand at this stage. It would be more appropriate to discuss it when you reach the Soul Douluo or Title Douluo level."

"In order to help you better understand the gods, and in order to help you catch up with Rongrong and Zhuqing in strength, I will lead you to the western sea area for training in six months."

"I hope that in the next six months or so, you can actively learn about marine survival and integrate the boxing and martial arts techniques you have learned. This will determine how far you can go in this training and will also affect the teacher's assessment of you. Do you understand?"

"Training in the western seas?"

"Okay! I understand! I will definitely work hard to break through to level 50 and, while I'm at it, hunt for my fifth spirit ring!"

"Yes, I'm glad you have this awareness, Yue'er."

Su Ran smiled faintly:

"In addition, Yanzi, Bing'er, and Yiran, you should also work harder and try to break through to level 60 during this period. If you encounter a suitable soul beast, you can also absorb it as a soul ring."

Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised: "Teacher, my ultimate path is poison. Are water-type soul beasts in the ocean compatible with me? Doesn't this violate the theory of soul ring and soul bone compatibility?"

"I'm glad you stick to the theory of soul ring and soul bone suitability, but you definitely haven't studied the knowledge of water and ocean-type soul beasts seriously. Who told you that ocean-type soul beasts are only suitable for water-type soul masters?"

Su Ran taught while tidying up the textbooks.

Shui Bing'er spoke up at this moment: "Senior Sister Yan, the teacher was right. There are actually poisonous soul beasts in the ocean, and their poison strength is no less than that of land soul beasts."

Dugu Yan felt somewhat ashamed: "Alright, teacher, I have neglected to study the knowledge of soul beasts in the ocean. I will definitely catch up on my studies."

Their hunting for spirit rings takes them mainly to Sunset Forest and Star Dou Great Forest; they don't really know much about the ocean.
