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

Chapter 269 Shuiyue'er: Teacher, do you want me in a secret room?

"Why?!"

"With Peach Blossom Academy being so strong, they're sure to become the leader in the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, winning the championship and retaining it for good. Why isn't Dean Su participating?!"

Feng Xiaochuan, Leng Ningshuang, the Dean of the Plant Academy, the Dragon and Snake Elders of the Beast Academy, and Hu Yanzhen, the Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect, were all present. After hearing that Taoyuan Academy would no longer participate in the Soul Master Competition, they took two sips of peach blossom tea, their minds still unsettled.

Su Ran simply smiled slightly and joked:
"If Peach Blossom Academy doesn't participate, then there will be one less formidable opponent. Isn't that a better thing for you?"

"That's true, but if Peach Blossom Academy doesn't participate, the Soul Master Competition feels like it's lost its soul and isn't that important anymore."

"Moreover, the Soul Master Competition was originally created for peace. Back then, the Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall jointly signed a contract regarding the competition, calling on all advanced Soul Master academies across the continent to participate."

However, the situation on the mainland has changed. The Star Luo Empire and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind Thunder Academy have done such a disgraceful thing. Even if they participate, they will certainly not be as good as before. If they do participate, we must teach them a lesson in the competition.

Hearing that the Papal Palace has taken over Star Luo and Peach Blossom Academy has established a republican territory, it can be said that the alliance between Peach Blossom Academy and the Papal Palace has replaced the former Star Luo as one of the three powers—no, it has even surpassed the former Star Luo, becoming a promising new force. Without Peach Blossom's participation, the competition is incomplete.

"Dean Su, please think it over!"

Several deans and old acquaintances present all advised Su Ran against it.

"Ah."

Watching the peach blossoms swaying in the breeze, Su Ran sat there quietly for a while before finally speaking:
"Although Peach Blossom Academy does not participate in the Soul Master Competition, the Papal Palace will form a team to participate, which can be considered as replacing Peach Blossom's position."

"Moreover, although our academy will not participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, it will hold the Peach Blossom Academy Continental Open Challenge Competition."

"Peach Blossom Academy Open Challenge???"

What kind of competition is this?

"How do you play? What are the rules?"

"Simply put, this is a competition unilaterally held by our academy, where students from our academy compete against each other, or students from other academies challenge students from our academy. On the one hand, it is to test the learning outcomes and strength of our students, and on the other hand, it is to facilitate interaction with Soul Masters on the continent."

At this time, Su Ran had already established campus regulations for the disciples of Taoyuan Academy—to form an elite guard team and a surveillance team responsible for patrolling and protecting the peace of the Republic's jurisdiction and punishing evil.

Meanwhile, the college's elite team is selected through an open competition in Taoyuan, requiring not only outstanding strength but also a test of character.

"I see. So, students from Tianshui Academy (Blazing Fire Academy) still have a chance to spar with students from Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Of course, making friends through martial arts is a long-standing tradition. Although Taoyuan Academy has experienced many changes, since it has opened its doors to teaching, it will naturally not turn away friends."

Huo Wu finally snapped out of her daze after Su Ran's lesson, amazed by the wonderful uses of wind and fire elements, her eyes burning with ambition:

"That's good. I lost to Little Rabbit and Ning Rongrong before, and I've been working hard to train for the past four or five years. I'd like to find an opportunity to compete with them again!"

“Me too! Xiao Wu, Teacher Su just said that wind and fire are mutually reinforcing, so why don’t we join forces this time? Our chances of winning will definitely be much greater.” Feng Xiaotian said shamelessly.

Huo Wu glanced at him: "Who wants to team up with you? Also, call me by my name, Huo Wu, not my nickname."

Feng Xiaotian was a little embarrassed and could only scratch his head: "Okay."

Just then, a beautiful figure in light blue appeared in the academy. It was Shui Yue'er and Meng Yiran, who had returned from Seagod Island to fight Star Luo and crush their spirit, to report back to their teacher.

Shuiyue'er's bright eyes swept over the crowd, recognizing some familiar faces, and she said cheerfully:

"So many guests have come to the academy! It seems Yue'er's return is quite unfortunate." Finally, Shui Yue'er narrowed her eyes at Su Ran; this girl was still a bit mischievous.

She immediately called out to her relatives, "Aunt Leng, Aunt Han, you're here too!"

Leng Ningshuang and Leng Yuehan glanced at Shui Yue'er with a strange look in their eyes. This girl has a rather special aura about her.

Meng Yiran also rushed into the arms of the Dragon God and Snake Goddess, a bright smile on her face. She hadn't seen them for two or three years and missed them dearly.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I missed you so much!"

"Oh, my little darling, Grandpa and Grandma have missed you so much."

The Dragon God and Snake Goddess looked at the graceful Meng Yiran with eyes full of pride, concern, and heartache:

"It's taller and more beautiful now."

"But you've lost weight. You must be working very hard with your training and trials, right? Have you been eating on time? Cultivation is important, but you also need to take care of your body, you know?"

The old woman tiptoed and rubbed Meng Yiran's head.

Meng Yiran smiled and said, "Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry. Our teachers treat us very well, and we are doing very well. It would be even better if those petty people didn't try to sabotage us."

At that time, they were still waiting for their teacher's signal in the West Sea. When they learned about what happened in Soto City, they were very angry. However, they are now able to regulate their emotions.

Meng Yiran kissed Chao Tianxiang's old face, "And, Grandpa and Grandma, you might not believe it, but I might be more capable than you now!"

"Little girl, don't be too blindly confident. Although Grandpa and Grandma are old and their strength is not as good as before, Grandpa is still at the Soul Douluo level."

Seeing that her grandfather, Long Gong Meng Shu, still didn't quite believe her, Meng Yiran stuck out her tongue:

"I've already reached the Soul Saint Realm, and I'm not far from level 80. And don't forget, Grandpa, I'm the teacher's student, so I can fight opponents of higher levels!"

"What?! Soul Saint Realm?! You're only in your early twenties!"

Upon hearing this, both Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang were stunned, finding it utterly unbelievable. In less than seven years since joining Peach Blossom Academy, their precious granddaughter's soul power had increased by more than forty levels, from level thirty to over seventy?!
What kind of incredible speed is this?!
Is one's own bloodline really that strong?

Definitely not.

The Dragon God and Snake Goddess were absolutely certain that this could only be achieved with Teacher Su's guidance.

"Teacher~ You must have been very tired these days, you even have dark circles under your eyes. You must take care of your health. If your health deteriorates now, how will you make it to Yue'er to squeeze juice... Cough cough~ Teacher, Senior Sister Yiran and I came back to report to you. We have basically wiped out the Star Luo Empire, and our assessment has also been updated. My sister and I have changed from the top eight tests to the ninth test. It's so strange, but we have both passed the fourth test."

"My sisters have returned to Hanhai City to await the teacher's instructions: should they return to Seagod Island to continue their trials, or go back to the academy?"

Shuiyue'er clung to Su Ran's side, making Huowu quite envious.

Su Ran nodded and said, "The academy's affairs are basically over. You can continue to complete the assessment. I will also take some time to go to the West Sea later."

"Oh, by the way, come to the teacher's office alone later. I have something else to give you."

"Okay, I'll be alone~" Shuiyue'er said excitedly.

Oh my god, is the teacher going to give me a secret room challenge?
"Shuiyue'er? What level is your soul power now?"

Huo Wu's gaze fell on Shui Yue'er, revealing a hint of doubt.

What a strange feeling. Why does she have a sense that this girl has a mysterious and profound aura?
