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

Chapter 284 The Academy's New Curriculum for Governance
Ring ring ring~
This time, the Peach Blossom Order was not sung by the senior sister under the peach tree, nor was it sung by Wang Sheng striking the bell.

Instead, the bell is controlled by the college's broadcasting room and rings automatically at set times, spreading throughout the campus.

As usual, the students of Taoyuan Academy got up at dawn to wash up, do morning exercises, eat breakfast, and drink beast blood to train their bodies.

The students who were taking the assessment on Poseidon Island have not yet returned, but the academy has gained several new students.

The Killing City, managed by Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu, has become more stable over the past few years.

They trained two high-quality patrol teams to work with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's supervisory team to manage the citizens of the Slaughter City.

As a result, the five administrators of the Slaughter City have more free time, which they can use to cultivate in the Slaughter Hall and absorb the killing energy, or return to the academy to study.

On this day, senior sisters Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling all returned to the academy to stay for a while.

With the addition of Yao Zi, Mu Yunzhu, Mu Yunteng, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuyu, as well as new students Xue Ke, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian, Taoyuan Academy became much more lively.

The sound of morning reading echoed throughout the college, filling it with energy and inspiring every student to have a day full of enthusiasm.

The senior students at the college said that morning reading is not just about reading, but about understanding and comprehending the principles.

Soul Masters are the most noble profession on the entire continent, so everyone thinks that Soul Masters are superior to others, while the weak are as worthless as ants. What right do ants have to speak?
The morning reading materials at the academy invariably teach students principles: a gentleman does not deceive others with his principles, nor does he deceive others with his principles; be self-reliant and strong, and stay true to your original aspirations...

After morning reading and a short rest, it's time for the theory class.

The theoretical courses at Taoyuan Academy now cover a wide range of topics, with different focuses depending on the students' cultivation direction. They are mainly divided into Martial Soul Theory, Soul Beast Knowledge, Geography and Climate, Weaponry and Martial Arts Game Theory, and Basic Soul Guidance Knowledge.

These courses are also a great burden for students. Even the senior students in the core group cannot get high scores in every subject. It is very difficult to obtain the title of all-around academic genius.

If it weren't for the teacher's incredibly handsome face lecturing on the podium, they probably would have fallen asleep on their desks long ago.

Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Feng Xiaotian, these new students, had only been enrolled for a short time, but they still found these theoretical concepts quite novel and had a strong desire to learn.

They highlighted key points in their textbooks, either chasing after Senior Brother Wang Sheng for answers or asking Senior Brother Xiao questions, especially the philosophical ones.

"Senior brother, which would you choose: kill one person to save ten thousand, or kill ten thousand to save one? If you kill one person, does that person deserve to die? If you kill ten thousand, is it worth it just to save that one person?"

Xiao Chenyu looked guilty: Good heavens, I ranked last in academic subjects two years ago. How would I know so much theory? All I know is that if I don't kill someone else, someone else will kill me.

Junior brother, ask your senior brother Wang. He knows the answer to this silly question.

Wang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Junior brother, our teacher said that a gentleman would not choose this path."

……

"Hello students."

"Hello teacher."

When Teacher Su, the immortal of peach blossoms, stepped onto the podium, the audience quickly fell silent, filled only with the students' admiring gazes.

Teacher Su placed his lesson plan on the podium, glanced around the classroom, and saw more than ten students sitting upright. He spoke calmly:
"Starting today, the school will add a cultural subject."

"You should know that our Peach Blossom Republic has been established and everything is on the right track. However, to maintain peace in this region, we need leaders with progressive ideas. Otherwise, this region will only repeat the same mistakes and follow the same path as other empires."

"You are students of the academy, and you also bear an unshirkable mission for the future of the region. Therefore, this added course is also about governing the country and bringing peace to the world."

"This course requires us to explore and develop together. It's not a one-man show; it's worth discussing and researching," Su Ran said to the students. Regarding governing the country and bringing peace to the world, Su Ran had exchanged some books from the system, including: Guiguzi, the Four Books and Five Classics, and Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Upon hearing that the academy had added new courses, the core disciples could only manage a wry smile.

Good heavens! Academic subjects are already difficult enough, and now we have to add another one that's even harder!

However, Teacher Su's next sentence made everyone's eyes light up and rekindled their enthusiasm:
"The course on governing the country is not just theoretical; it requires practice. After learning, you need to go into the Taoyuan District Council to actually manage and operate it, and this will be included in your annual final exam score."

"The three students with the best grades will be given the opportunity to go to the Beast Taming Garden to choose a pet beast. The student with the best grades can also make a wish to the teacher within the bounds of principle."

Upon hearing this, the students erupted in cheers:
"Oh~"

"Teacher, is it a pet beast like your Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast?"

"Yes, but the quality might not be as high as that of the Golden-Eyed Beast."

"Teacher, can the first-place winner ask for anything?"

The question was asked by the freshman Huo Wu.

Teacher Su Ran glanced at her:
"Fire Dancer, you don't need to think about what you want to achieve yet, because you probably won't get first place. I have plenty of confidence in you about that."

"Huh? What's wrong, teacher? Why are you like this?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Wu looked depressed. Although she knew it was difficult to get first place, what was the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?
If I get first place in the exam, what wish can I tell my teacher?
Yes, let the teacher, covered in lipstick marks from his kisses, teach at the academy for three days!

What would that look like?
It must look really good, right?
Oh ho ho ho~

As she thought about it, Huo Wu blushed.

"Fire Dancer, please don't get distracted during class, and please don't make smug laughs. This is the most basic respect you can show to the class."

Ye Lingling, sitting in front of Huo Wu, heard Huo Wu's laughter and turned around to remind Huo Wu.

Huo Wu almost drooled, then quickly straightened up and apologized somewhat awkwardly to Ye Lingling:

"Senior Sister Lingling, I'm sorry."

Ye Lingling smiled slightly and turned back to continue listening to the lesson.

Huo Wu touched her forehead, her face blushing slightly.
Huo Wu, Huo Wu, stay calm, you can't afford to embarrass yourself any further.

"In addition to the course on governance, I would also like to introduce you to a new teacher."

"Music teacher, Tang Yuehua."

Next, Su Ran introduced the music class to the students and the addition of the new teacher, Tang Yuehua. Xue Ke also reintroduced herself to her senior classmates.

Xue Ke was actually very interested in the two new courses the teacher had introduced. She had been studying music theory with Tang Yuehua in the Tian Dou royal family, and given the complex environment of the empire, she also wanted to learn more about governing the country.

Finally, Su Ran packed up her textbooks, announced the end of get out of class, and declared that everyone was free to cultivate. She then called Xue Ke to the teacher's office alone.
