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

Chapter 248 Bad News from Peach Blossom Academy

"Are you threatening me?"

Su Ran looked up at the sacred colossal statue high above, her eyes narrowing as she became wary.

"This is not a threat, it's the rule."

"Don't try to scare me. I know the rules of your divine realm. Gods are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm without permission. Since your true form has not come, you cannot control me. If your true form were to come and force me to inherit the position of the Sea God, it would be a greater loss than gain. That is why you left behind a place for inheritance and selected a representative to manage the inheritance."

Su Ran's words revealed the pressure the Sea God was under, leaving the Sea God somewhat bewildered:
"How did you know? Could it be... that you've already chosen the Asura God's position!"

The Sea God gave Su Ran a deep look. There was indeed a trace of the Asura God's power hidden within him. Although it was very subtle, as a brother god who was very familiar with the Asura God, he could sense it. This was also the reason why he was eager to personally descend his divine soul and will to persuade Su Ran to inherit the Sea God's position.

If it's any later, it won't be good if that guy, the Asura God, gets his hands on it. After all, the Asura God is a god of law enforcement, while the Sea God is only a first-level main god.

If it weren't for the fact that the God of Law Enforcement had to manage many things in all realms and didn't have the same amount of time as a main god who could check on the situation of the inheritance site at any time, then that guy, the God of Asura, would probably have already made a move against such an unparalleled inheritor.

"No. I am a teacher, a teacher who loves and is dedicated to my profession."

"I still have many disciples to train, and I have no interest in the superficiality of the divine realm, so I am unwilling to inherit the divine position."

"However, Your Excellency, you should be able to sense that among my disciples, there are some girls who are also very suitable for the position of Sea God. After all, they have received your favor, and if any of them are willing to inherit your divine position, I will not stop them."

"You want freedom, to leave the realm of gods and travel around. Isn't this the same option that will allow you to accomplish your plan?"

"At the very least, that young man who is undergoing tidal body tempering in the raging waves could be of some use if you were willing to train him."

That young man who is still practicing body tempering with the tides?

Thinking of Tang San in the desperate situation of the raging waves, the Sea God's lips twitched.

That good-for-nothing isn't even as fierce as you girls.

"Hatch~ Hatch~ Hatch—"

"What happened? Is it typhoid fever?"

Tang San, who was bound to the sunken silver pillar in the deep sea, suddenly sneezed a few times, feeling as if someone was cursing him behind his back.

Looking at the surging waves, Tang San felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.
Heavens above! Earth below! How long am I to endure this?
I, a genius of the Tang Sect, a twin top-level martial soul master, and with innate full soul power, am actually soaking in the seawater here every day!

……

“Your origins are far from simple. Only gods can know these things. Since you are not the successor of the Asura God, I cannot understand how you obtained this information.”

"Never mind where you heard that from. But I think there's something you'll find very interesting."

Even the Sea God felt a bit of a headache when facing Su Ran. He had never imagined that someone in the lower realm would refuse a divine position.

Forcing him to inherit would not only violate the laws of the divine realm, but would also be a loss of face.

But a peach blossom message, shimmering with red light, suddenly appeared in the sea god's enormous palm.

Upon seeing this message, Su Ran, who was usually calm, became unsettled.

That peach blossom message was an emergency contact signal that he left in Peach Blossom Academy just in case. No matter how far away it was, whether hundreds or thousands of miles, it could lock onto the peach blossom essence on Su Ran's body and communicate with Su Ran briefly.

Before heading to Seagod Island, Su Ran had repeatedly emphasized that this emergency communication signal should not be used unless it was an extremely urgent matter concerning the disciples' lives or future. The appearance of this red peach-shaped message in the Seagod's hand indicated that the academy was likely facing some problems.

Su Ran's face darkened:

"You intercepted my signal? Do you know what that signal means?"

"If this causes a delay and results in any problems for my students, even if you are the God of the Sea, I will make you pay the price."

Su Ran's aura instantly changed, transforming from a detached, otherworldly air into a sharp, murderous intent.

"It seems you really care about these students. You're even willing to offend the gods for them. Truly, the new generation surpasses the old."

"However, you misunderstand. This signal was intercepted from the outer sea when I was observing you. It was a signal that seemed to have a similar aura to yours. Otherwise, it would have taken it longer to find you."

"I originally planned to reappear and talk to you after you caught the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

"It was this message that made me decide to come and see you sooner."

After hearing the sea god's explanation, Su Ran's aura softened slightly.

This relieved the sea god.

I don't know why, even though I am a god, I feel a sense of fear towards this kid.
I have a feeling that this kid's true strength has already reached above the level of a demigod. If he doesn't reveal his true form, we really can't do anything to him for the time being.

"So, you plan to use this message to blackmail me into inheriting the position of Sea God?"

"Hahaha, you underestimate me, Poseidon. I swept across the ancient seas with a single halberd. The situation in the seas back then was far more complex than it is now. I settled the world with my strength and gathered the power of the ocean to achieve great things. Why would I need to do such a petty thing?"

“Since you are unwilling to inherit the position of the Sea God, I will not force you. However, I still need you to promise me one thing in order to make up for the consequences of interfering with the assessment.”

“There’s one thing you’re right about: the God Realm is indeed damn boring. I’ve wanted to run away for a long time, but not just anyone can inherit a divine position. At least they can’t be too much worse than I was back then, right? Otherwise, when I get to the God Realm, everyone will laugh at my successor for being a good-for-nothing. Where will I put my face then?”

"Therefore, I need you to promise me that you will wholeheartedly nurture these three disciples, Dugu Yan, Shui Yue'er, and Shui Bing'er, so that they can unleash their full potential and successfully reach the standard to inherit my divine position. Are you willing?"

The sea god said in a deep voice, "We can only settle for second best."

Su Ran nodded:
“I promise you. And even if you don’t say it, I will do my best to train them. At the very least, they are capable of lifting the Trident of Poseidon on their own.”

"Okay, that's good."

The blue-gold radiance slowly dissipated, and the sea god let out a long laugh as his figure gradually vanished in the blue light.

The message about peach blossoms slowly landed in Su Ran's hands.

At this moment, on the deck of the ship, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, and Shen Liuyu had just completed the formation of their 100,000-year soul rings and were still immersed in joy.

Seeing the teacher emerge from the blue-gold light, he couldn't help but smile and ask:

"Teacher, what exactly happened just now?"

"Teacher Su, is this aura... the Sea God communicating with you?" Xiao Bai asked excitedly. Teacher Su is amazing; even the Sea God himself has bestowed a divine miracle upon him.

However, the next moment, Su Ran, her face grave, sent a peach blossom into the red light in her hand. Instantly, the red light resembled a blooming peach bud, and a voice rang out. They recognized it as the tense voices of Senior Brother Wang Sheng, Senior Sister Zhu Qing, and Senior Sister Yao Zi, causing all the disciples' expressions to change instantly, becoming extremely serious.
[Teacher, the royal family has launched a joint attack; the academy has been assaulted. Return immediately.]
