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

Chapter 276 Establishing a Place in the World, Serving the Country and the People, and Passing on Unique Skills
"Level 19!"

"The Soul Master Competition four or five years ago?"

"I remember now, Senior Brother Xiao was the young man Tang San ignored back then..."

"?!"

Hearing Xiao Chenyu recount the past, Huo Wu, who was watching the battle with Xiao Wu, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but go up and examine Xiao Shixiong's figure and appearance.

Although my memory is somewhat hazy, I was just observing the opponents at the time, so I was somewhat interested in Taoyuan Academy and the Tiandou Royal Team, and some memories of them remain.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Chenyu's physique seemed somewhat familiar, yet it had also changed significantly. During his years of study at Taoyuan Academy, Xiao Chenyu had become even more sharp and robust.

"Yes, it's me."

"It seems that Junior Sister Huo has a deep impression of your Senior Brother Xiao."

Xiao Chenyu was somewhat surprised that Huo Wu could recount a past event.

"Senior Brother Xiao... was only level nineteen back then..."

"But attacking us now is like a wolf catching a lamb."

"This...how is this possible?"

"In less than five years, he has leveled up by more than forty levels? This...this, oh my god."

"Promoting eight levels per year on average? Is this even human? Is there any justice in this world?"

Upon learning of Xiao Chenyu's Soul Master level before entering the academy, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian were all greatly shocked.

Not to mention them, even their fathers and elders would be dumbfounded upon learning of this situation.

The reason why Soul Masters are so rare is because it is difficult to improve their Soul Power level. Ordinary Soul Masters are considered excellent if they can steadily improve their Soul Power by one level per year, and Soul Masters who can steadily improve their Soul Power by two or three levels per year can be considered geniuses.

And the freakish senior standing in front of them had actually been steadily improving by... eight levels every year!
That's level eight! My goodness.

"Junior brothers and junior sister Huowu, don't be too surprised. After all, your senior brother Xiao not only has a strong self-healing ability, but also the cultivation technique has a miraculous effect: getting stronger by being beaten."

"So, want to learn? Junior Brother Feng, I think your martial spirit is a perfect match for my cultivation method. How about we learn it and then fight each other every day?"

Xiao Chenyu glanced at Feng Xiaotian.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian's lips twitched slightly, but to be honest, he was actually a little tempted.

I just don't know how much I have to get beaten up to become stronger?
"I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death..."

Thinking about it carefully, Senior Brother Xiao's transformation was not easy. He actually chose to face such a dangerous attack head-on and charge out, enduring the wind blades cutting his flesh and the fire tempering his skin. He injured his body like that, and the pain was probably unbearable for ordinary people.

Just then, a clear voice came from the direction of the school, as refreshing as a spring breeze:
"Alright, you've had your fight and your commotion. Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Huo Wushuang, the three of you, come to the classroom for a moment. Your teacher has done a good job of teaching you."

The sound faded, but its echo still lingered among the peach blossoms.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng immediately stopped chatting and laughing, and bowed slightly towards the direction of the school.
"Yes, teacher, I will escort my junior brothers and sisters to the school now."

"Junior Sister Huo, Junior Brother Feng, Junior Brother Huo, congratulations! It seems that your teacher has prepared some ultimate techniques for you. Perhaps soon, you will be able to catch up with Boss Xiao's strength."

"Please go this way."

Wang Sheng spoke to Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and the others.

Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian immediately felt a surge of anticipation.

They were also familiar faces from Taoyuan Academy. Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan... and the newest Shui Yue'er and Xiao Chenyu, all left a deep impression on them.

Ning Rongrong, who is indestructible; Dugu Yan, who is capable of using poison to the extreme; Shui Yue'er, who is as powerful as a tidal wave; Xiao Chenyu, who can't be killed even after being beaten... What kind of changes will they bring?
……

"Take a hundred steps ahead and you'll reach the school area. The teacher will be passing on his skills, so we won't disturb him. Junior Sister Huowu, Junior Brother Wushuang and Junior Brother Xiaotian, you may proceed on your own."

Wang Sheng stopped at the far end of Peach Blossom Road, watching Huo Wu and the other two figures slowly walk towards Peach Blossom Academy.

The three of them walked toward the school, all of them curious about the unique skills they were about to learn and what the teacher would teach them.
……

"Fire Dance greets the teacher."

"Wushuang greets the teacher."

"Feng Xiaotian greets his teacher."

In the classroom, Huo Wu and her two companions bowed and greeted their teacher, who was sitting at a white jade table.

Teacher Su Ran sat there, standing amidst the peach blossoms, seemingly one with the world, serene and peaceful, untouched by worldly dust. Upon seeing the three new students arrive, she nodded slightly and asked with concern:
"You've only just started your studies today. The environment at Peach Blossom Academy is different from your previous academies. Are you getting used to it?"

Fire Dance answered quickly:
"It's wonderful here. The air is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, as if our teacher is right beside us. It's so beautiful." "The environment of Peach Blossom Academy is different from that of Blazing Fire Academy and Divine Wind Academy. There are no elaborate or tall buildings here. Instead, there are antique-style blue bricks and jade tiles, and wooden pavilions nestled in the peach grove. It's like a paradise on earth. We also think it's quite beautiful."

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang sat side by side, both seated on the flower-covered mat at their teacher's signal.

"You'll get used to it."

"I won't stand on ceremony with you. I called the three of you here because I want to teach you something."

"I am already aware of your general situation. I need to ask you, do you know why you want to learn martial arts and why you want to become stronger?"

Su Ran looked up, and that exquisitely handsome face was the center of attention in this world. Every time they met, Huo Wu's heart would flutter, and she would be lost in thought.

My teacher is so beautiful.

The teachings of the Peach Fairy in the mortal world stirred my heart with passion.

"Teacher, do we need a reason to become stronger? Becoming strong is just awesome, it's just so great! I'm happy, my parents are happy, the academy is happy! Everyone's happy!"

Huo Wushuang laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Huo Wu glanced at Huo Wushuang with disdain:

"Brother, why are you being so silly, talking nonsense all the time?"

"Teacher, I want to become strong. I want to be the pride of my parents and the academy, to stand on my own, and to make a name for myself as a fire-type soul master!"

Fire Dance expressed her passion.

Su Ran couldn't help but smile faintly. These two children both possessed the passion of fire-type soul masters—impulsive, straightforward, both a headache and a source of love.

"Huo Wu, your brother has his own reasons. His open-mindedness and carefree attitude are a kind of realm that deserves praise. He is not foolish."

Hearing the teacher's praise, Huo Wushuang seemed much happier:
"Xiao Wu, look, even the teacher praised me! How is your brother stupid? All you do is belittle him. The teacher is so fair!"

"Teacher, you don't know, but when my brother was studying at Blazing Fire Academy, he liked a girl. His way of pursuing her was to deliberately set off fireworks near her during festivals to get her attention. But he accidentally set her clothes on fire... Don't you think he was stupid?"

Seeing her brother Huo Wushuang being smug, Huo Wu couldn't help but reveal his dirty secrets.

Immediately, Huo Wushuang's smile vanished, and he quickly reprimanded:

"Xiao Wu! Are you trying to ruin your brother?"

"Slightly~"

"Xiaotian, what about you? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Huo Wushuang changed the subject.

Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath:

"I was thinking about what my teacher said, and I realized that I don't seem to know why I need to become stronger."

Feng Xiaotian felt somewhat sad:

"Since awakening my martial soul, my innate soul power has been far ahead of others, and I have been hailed as a top genius. My father praised me, and my classmates trusted me. I just went with the flow and unknowingly became what I am today."

"I...I feel like I'm useless, teacher. I don't even have any goals in life?!"

When Feng Xiaotian thought of this, his mental defenses almost collapsed.

This is the tragedy of geniuses. There's no reason for them to become stronger; everything just happens naturally. They simply become stronger because they can!
Little did he know, Feng Xiaotian's words made Huo Wushuang's lips twitch. This guy... he really doesn't know the hunger of a starving man when he's full. He's too perverted!

"Hahaha……"

Even the teacher, Su Ran, couldn't help but smile, amused by these three clowns.

"Alright, whatever your reasons for becoming strong, since you are my students, you must add one more reason: to make a living, to serve the country, the people, and the academy."

Since the great battle of Soto City, Su Ran has been filled with lingering fear and needs to make his disciples understand that the strong have their own responsibilities.

"To find peace and purpose in life, and to serve the country and its people!"

These four words sent a jolt through Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian.

This was originally part of the moral education curriculum in Taoyuan School Rules, but since they had just enrolled, Su Ran had to teach them personally.

Then, Su Ran uttered the most crucial sentence that had brought them here:

“All my disciples of Peach Blossom Spring learn unique skills. Tell me, what have you all learned? I will tailor my teachings to each individual.”

　Brothers, we're late. I had a fever last night and fell asleep without realizing it.
