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

Chapter 268 Our Academy Will No Longer Participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition
"Wu'er, please don't say anything more."

The one who spoke was the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, named Huo Xuan, who was also the biological father of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, and a Soul Douluo powerhouse.

Although Huo Xuan did not attend the previous Soul Master Competition in person, he learned about the deeds of Taoyuan Academy from Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang.

Over the past few years, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang, the siblings, had often whispered in his ear about wanting to join Taoyuan Academy.

Upon learning of the battle in Soto, he naturally decided to personally visit this immortal peach blossom spirit, for seeing is believing indeed.

When the figure of the Peach Fairy came into view, it was clear that she was extraordinary and the rumors were true.

When her father called her name, Huo Wu pursed her lips, seemingly unconcerned.
How dare you! I am the Queen of Blazing Academy. Don't think you can scold me just because you're my father. Do you think I'll listen to you?
Su Ran simply smiled faintly:
"It's alright. Your daughter has a fiery temper and is straightforward and outspoken. I already knew this from the last Soul Master Competition, so it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Huo Wu was already the pride of Blazing Academy, and Huo Xuan usually doted on her. Now that she had gained Su Ran's approval, a smile immediately bloomed on Huo Wu's face:
"Teacher Su understands me best; Father, you don't understand me at all! Humph!"

Huo Wu snorted at Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan touched his nose, feeling quite troubled by this little firecracker.

At this moment, Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but speak up, looking at Su Ran with some anticipation: "I wonder if Teacher Su still remembers me?"

Su Ran glanced at him and said calmly:
"I remember, Feng Xiaotian, the captain of the Shenfeng Academy team, created his own soul skill, the Thirty-Six Consecutive Slashes of Gale. He has quite a bit of talent."

"Yo-ho~"

Upon hearing Su Ran's praise, Feng Xiaotian jumped two meters high, beaming with joy. He tossed his flowing hair and said smugly to Huo Wu:
"Fire Dance, did you hear that? I am also a man recognized by Teacher Su. Teacher Su even remembers my Thirty-Six Consecutive Gale Slashes. It seems that I have left a deep impression on the students of Peach Blossom Academy."

"Moreover, my Gale Thirty-Six Combo Slashes has now evolved into a Fifty-Four Combo Slashes, and its power has almost doubled."

Feng Xiaotian intended to attract Huo Wu's attention, but Huo Wu saw it as a provocation!
Huo Wu was so angry that her chest heaved, and she glared fiercely at Feng Xiaotian:

So you think you're the only one with high talent, the only one who created his own soul skill, the only one who's powerful?
"Teacher Su~ Isn't my Fusion Ring powerful enough? Why do you only remember Feng Xiaotian's skills, what about mine?"

Huo Wu said quietly.

This scene shocked Huo Xuan. Was Wu'er being coquettish?
I've raised this girl for twenty years, and I've never seen her yield to me.

Teacher Su's chicken soup is the best medicine ever!
“Your Ring Fusion skill is also very powerful, I remember that too.”

Su Ran saw a bit of Rongrong in Huo Wu; they were both initially quite arrogant.

"I knew Teacher Su wouldn't forget me~ But Teacher Su's disciples are still more powerful. I thought that with my hard work over the past four or five years, I could catch up with them, but I didn't expect to hear that Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Sheng are already able to compete with Soul Saint level experts. Sigh~"

At this point, Huo Wu let out a sigh.

"Zhu Qing and the Holy Son each have their own opportunities, so they can't be compared. Looking at their peers, you can both be considered excellent Soul Masters."

"However... since you're here today, I have a suggestion that might be helpful to you."

Su Ran took a sip of peach blossom tea and continued:
"Feng Xiaotian, your Gale Wolf Combo Slash, although it is quite skillful and each slash is stronger than the last, seemingly building up layer by layer and able to unleash power beyond one's own limits, is actually extremely risky and unstable. It is only suitable for use in Soul Master Arena duels on smaller stages."

"As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest. The more moves a technique has, the more flaws it has, and the harder it is to master. Let alone fifty-four consecutive strikes, even eighty-one or one thousand and one strikes, so what?"

"If you encounter a clever opponent, a top-tier Soul Master, or someone weaker than you, it's fine. But if they are evenly matched with you, they will either avoid your sharp edge and turn around and leave your combo's range, or they will interrupt your combo. Fifty-four combos mean fifty-four openings. How can you execute them perfectly?"

Su Ran pointed out that the principles behind this were very important for cultivation. The techniques and unique skills he taught his students were often not complicated in terms of moves.

Similar to Feng Xiaotian's 54-hit combo of Gale Wolf, there is also the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique of the Haotian Sect, which requires swinging eighty-one hammer blows to reach its peak.

Therefore, Tang Hao never fully unleashed the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in front of Su Ran during his lifetime. Every hammer blow was a flaw in Su Ran's eyes. If he unleashed eighty-one hammer blows, there would be eighty-one flaws. How stupid would his opponent be to allow them to stack up the number of blows?
Feng Xiaotian was speechless. The truth was indeed as Teacher Su said. Apart from Soul Master Arena PK, in free combat, who would be foolish enough to wait for you to unleash all fifty-six slashes?
Before Feng Xiaotian could even process what was happening, Su Ran continued, "Huo Wu's Fusion Ring skill doesn't involve many techniques. It mainly focuses on fusing one force into one skill to defeat ten others. It may seem reckless, but when used skillfully, it is the bane of flashy skills."

Back then, in the preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Competition, Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy met, and Shenfeng Academy lost to Chihuo Academy. Many people thought that Feng Xiaotian was letting Huo Wu win.

In reality, Feng Xiaotian was willing but unable to do so, so he decided to do a favor to avoid a lose-lose situation.

Given that the difference in their soul power is not significant, Huo Wu's Fusion Ring technique is incredibly powerful, and Huo Wu's Blazing Sun technique also has a locking ability. So, how can Shenfeng Academy possibly win?
"Fire Dance's Fusion skill is indeed very strong, but the wind fuels the fire and the fire uses the wind to its advantage. They are counter to our wind type, there's nothing we can do about it."

"That's not necessarily true. Wind and fire are not incompatible like water and fire, they are not mutually destructive attributes, but rather mutually supportive attributes. Since fire can borrow the power of wind, wind can naturally borrow the power of fire as well."

Su Ran advised, "Instead of painstakingly studying the continuous strike technique, you should experience the power of wind convergence and wind pressure, and make good use of the characteristics of the wind attribute itself."

"As for Fire Dance, although fusing the power of the rings into one can maximize her instantaneous burst of power, it also abandons the inherent characteristics of flames, which are burning and exploding, not smashing."

"Whoever can do this first will be able to suppress the other."

Su Ran pointed out the path for Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian one by one, but while the principles were simple, they were difficult to understand and put into practice.

Not to mention that Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu were completely confused, even the two deans of Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy only had a vague understanding, though they could still tell whether it was right or wrong.

The dean of Shenfeng Academy, named Feng Xiaochuan, was at the Soul Douluo level. He smiled and smoothed things over, saying:

"Professor Su's insights are indeed unique, but what exactly is the force of wind pressure?"

"Simple."

Su Ran took out a hollow bamboo tube, held a piece of paper hanging in her hand below the air outlet of the tube, and gestured to Feng Xiaotian:
"Use your wind elemental power to blow air into this bamboo tube. Do you think it will fall or rise when I release this piece of paper?"

"It will naturally fall."

"Everything falls to the ground, not to mention the wind blowing above."

Even Feng Xiaochuan said the same thing.

Su Ran remained silent, only gesturing for Feng Xiaotian to blow some wind.

A miraculous scene unfolded: when Su Ran let go, the paper did not fall vertically, but rose slowly until it was finally blown away by the wind.

Everyone was shocked.

Su Ran simply said:
"This is wind pressure. When the wind blows, it carries away the air, reducing the pressure on the paper, causing it to rise. By skillfully using the power of the wind, even with a low soul power level, one can fly for a long time and hold onto enemies."

This is just a very simple scientific principle, but for Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, it is a very magical study, and their eyes are filled with more and more admiration and love for Su Ran.

Teacher Su, you know so much!
"So the power of the wind can be used in this way. Teacher Su is very generous in teaching us. If we go back and teach this year's participating teams from our academy how to maintain air superiority, I'm afraid even Teacher Su's Peach Blossom Academy team will have a hard time."

Feng Xiaochuan joked.

But Su Ran shook her head and said:

"I have made a decision that Taoyuan Academy will no longer organize teams to participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition."

"what?!"
