Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

“Squad leader, you don’t need to apologize. On the contrary, we’ve dragged you down. I’ll run 20 laps.”

Shui Yue'er quickly shook her head. It was their fault for causing the conflict, yet the class monitor was punished. They should be the ones apologizing. Ning Rongrong nodded in agreement.

She glanced at Shuiyue'er, a fighting spirit rising within her, and immediately spoke.

“That’s right, I’m not the kind of person who lets others take the blame for me. I’ll run 20 laps too.”

"No, Rongrong, you are a support-type Soul Master, and your physique is weaker than ours. Besides, you are forbidden from using Soul Power. You should run 10 laps instead."

When faced with Ning Rongrong's request to run 20 laps, Hu Liena shook her head and refused without hesitation.

Ning Rongrong was the weakest in the elite class, and being a support-type Soul Master, her physique was worse than that of ordinary Soul Masters. Her body couldn't handle 20 laps.

"No, I want to run 20 laps."

Ning Rongrong's willful temper flared up again. She didn't want to be outdone by Shui Yue'er, so she insisted on running 20 laps.

Faced with the spoiled and willful Princess Qibao who had become unruly again, Hu Liena revealed a serious expression and began to show her authority as the class monitor of the elite class. She spoke in a deep voice, leaving no room for them to refuse.

"I am the class monitor, second only to the teacher. You all have to listen to me. I will run 40 laps, Shuiyue'er 10 laps, Ning Rongrong 10 laps, and the rest of you will each run 5 laps."

"Yes, monitor."

Seeing that Hu Liena was using her position as class monitor to pressure her, Ning Rongrong had no choice but to agree, even though she was somewhat unwilling.

The other girls had no objections and all agreed with Hu Liena's arrangement.

"Teacher, we've made our assignments."

The alluring girl turned and walked up to Gu Shenge, telling him the number of laps they had been assigned.

Gu Shenge had no questions, but she set a time.

"I'm giving you one hour. Finish the run within one hour, and everyone must gather here with me. Remember, everyone."

Yes! ×

The group of girls nodded in unison, and then, under Gu Shenge's gaze, their short skirts fluttered as they ran towards the Qinglan Lake campus with their fair and smooth legs.

Huo Yun'er watched this scene from the side, remaining silent, content with simply doing what a maid should do.

"Yun'er, go and help me prepare..."

Gu Shenge instructed Huo Yun'er to prepare some things for her, as the students would need them later. The delicate and beautiful maid bowed slightly in agreement and turned to prepare the necessary items.

The Qinglan Lake Campus is located in the eastern part of Tianshui College. It is a simulated training area formed by drawing water from the Tianlan River, and its scale is as large as five or six football fields.

Qinglan Lake is like a sapphire set in the ground, with shimmering water and misty atmosphere. Under the refraction of sunlight, it is beautiful and has a soft, shimmering glow.

The afternoon training sessions for students at Tianshui Academy take place around Qinglan Lake. Some students whose martial souls are fish will even swim in Qinglan Lake to practice mimicking their martial souls.

"Look, it's Shui Bing'er and the others."

A young girl who was cultivating by the lake noticed the elite students running in an orderly fashion and exclaimed in surprise. Many students stopped cultivating and focused their attention on Shui Bing'er and Hu Liena, showing envy.

The elite class! That's a class where students can receive instruction from titled Douluo. Not to mention the students from Tianshui Academy, even students from other schools want to join.

Unfortunately, with their cultivation level and talent, they were not qualified to join the elite class.

Meanwhile, some older students looked at Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, and the others with expressions of regret and jealousy.

If they had worked a little harder back then, passed the academy's assessment, and become participants in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition, they could have joined the elite class too!

Chapters 77 and 76: Reprimands from the Mature and Beautiful Headmistress

At the Qinglan Lake campus, a light mist lingers on the lake's surface. Students sit neatly and orderly in their designated classrooms, meditating and cultivating. The air is humid, the temperature is slightly low, and the sunlight reflects off the water in the Sapphire Classroom, creating a dreamlike glow.

Many students' eyes were fixed on the girls in the elite class, their expressions a mixture of envy, jealousy, and regret.

However, they were also puzzled. Logically speaking, since they were an elite class, they should have had their own independent training grounds. Why were they all at Qinglan Lake like them? And why wasn't that person with them?

Hu Liena led the elite class of girls to a location on the east side of Qinglan Lake as the starting point, and a round trip was considered one lap.

"Remember, you are not allowed to use soul power."

Before the girls even started, Gu Shenge's warning rang in their ears again, and they all nodded.

Led by Hu Liena, a group of beautiful young girls ran around Qinglan Lake, their fair and smooth legs swaying, their shapely figures bobbing. Bathed in sunlight, with water mist swirling around them, their fair skin dazzling and hard to look at directly, they ran around Qinglan Lake amidst the astonished gazes of other students.

Looking at the elite students running around the lake, the students from other classes were very puzzled. Why did they suddenly stop attending classes and come to run around the lake?

Was it training? Or did he make a mistake and get punished by the teacher?

The former is normal; it's about building physical fitness.

However, if it's the latter, some students' thinking becomes more active. If they make a mistake and are punished, they prefer to expel the student who made the mistake from the elite class, so that they will have a chance!

Many students who were originally cultivating were also unable to concentrate on their cultivation because of the elite class students' running around the lake, and they all turned their attention to the elite class.

It's better not to look at it at all, because once you start looking, you can't take your eyes off it.

As the class monitor, Hu Liena ran at the front of the group of girls, her short, silky golden hair swaying in the wind, and her foxy face shining brightly in the sunlight.

Even while running, her deep-seated charm made every move she made alluring. Her swaying peach-shaped buttocks and her full, rounded long legs encased in silver stockings made each step resemble a vixen displaying the most beautiful aspects of her body. Even the other female students from Tianshui were deeply attracted to her.

Hu Liena's charming beauty deeply attracted the other students, and even the beautiful lilies were captivated by her unintentional allure.

Zhu Zhuqing ran behind Hu Liena. The little wildcat was cool and charming. Her curvaceous and well-developed hot figure was highlighted by the black and purple leather jacket. Her round buttocks, wrapped in a narrow skirt, swayed as she ran, and the cat tail ribbon fluttered behind her, making people want to grab her.

The girls ran towards the sunlight, a gentle breeze blowing, lifting their skirts, their youthful energy filling the air, and the air itself was filled with their unique fragrance.

"what happened?"

The news of the elite class running around Qinglan Lake also reached Lan Qingyan's ears. The beautiful, mature director frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

Qinglan Lake serves as a simulated training area for Tianshui Academy, not a physical training area. If you want to run and improve your physical fitness, you can go to the playground.

Running in Qinglan Lake, isn't that disturbing the cultivation of other academies?

Lan Qingyan put down the documents in her hand, stood up from her executive chair, and wanted to ask Gu Shenge what the arrangements were.

While it is important for elite students to train, it is important not to disrupt or sacrifice the training of other students.

As soon as the mature and beautiful director opened the office door, she saw Gu Shenge raising her hand to knock, which made her mature and beautiful face show a hint of surprise.

This is like wishing for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!

Lan Qingyan immediately said, "Teacher Gu, you've come at the right time. I was just about to look for you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shenge was somewhat puzzled. Why was she looking for him?

"What's wrong, Director Lan?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask if the elite class has physical training today? Why are they running around Qinglan Lake? This is greatly affecting the students who are cultivating around Qinglan Lake."

After asking the question, Lan Qingyan felt a little uneasy, after all, she was questioning a titled Douluo, and even her question carried a hint of reproach.

If Gu Shenge takes it to heart or gets angry, she'll probably suffer the consequences.

The eyes are the windows to the soul; through the eyes, one can glimpse the soul.

Gu Shenge saw the unease in Lan Qingyan's eyes through her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

She had previously warned him so firmly that as long as she was alive, she would not allow him to act recklessly.

Now, even talking to myself feels uneasy; the change is truly remarkable.

If he had free time, he wouldn't mind teasing this serious and beautiful mature woman, but he had other things to do right now.

He also sensed a hint of reproach in Lan Qingyan's words. The elite students running in Qinglan Lake had disturbed the cultivation of other students. It was indeed a lack of consideration on his part. After all, he was not an omniscient and omnipotent being and could not possibly consider everything.

"I'm sorry, Director Lan, it was my oversight."

He informed the beautiful and mature headmistress about punishing the elite class, explaining that he did not intend to disturb the other students' cultivation; he had simply not considered this aspect and hoped Lan Qingyan would forgive him, promising it wouldn't happen again.

Hearing that apology, Lan Qingyan's anxiety subsided, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

“I see. I hope Teacher Gu will be more careful next time. After all, Qinglan Lake is a simulation training area, not a physical training area. If you want to punish a student, you can arrange for them to go to the physical training area. Please don’t worry about it, Teacher Gu. I’m not blaming you. I just don’t want the other students’ training to be disturbed.”

In closing, the mature and beautiful director emphasized that she was not blaming Gu Shenge, but was only thinking of the students.

Gu Shenge smiled and nodded: "Director Lan, there's no need to explain further. I know you care about the students. I really didn't think things through in this matter, and I will definitely pay attention next time."

"By the way, I'd like to ask Director Lan for a favor, is that alright?"

"You want my help?" Lan Qingyan was taken aback. Was there anything she could do to help Gu Shenge?

"It's not a big deal. I'd like to ask Director Lan to help me order a batch of items from Lanjiang City."

Leng Qishuang went to Tiandou City some time ago, and the academy's physical items are now entirely in Lan Qingyan's hands. The items that Gu Shenge ordered are for the elite class students to use for training, and will be promoted at Tianshui Academy later, so it's better to let Lan Qingyan take charge.

"For elite training? I understand. I'll prepare as soon as possible."

The mature, beautiful director nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Shenge took out the blueprints she had designed earlier from the system space and handed them to her.

"Then I'll have to trouble Director Lan."

Lan Qingyan took the blueprints, looked them over, and her mature and serious expression changed slightly. She looked up at Gu Shenge with some worry.

Is this for real? Are you sure you want to build these things? Can the students in the elite class handle it?

Chapters 77 and 78: Lan Jingyan, who owes an education!

"Teacher Gu, are you sure these are for the students' training?"

At the entrance to the Dean of Students' office, the voluptuous and beautiful Dean of Students looked at the blueprints in her hand. Her originally serious and cold face showed a look of astonishment, and she asked Gu Shenge in an incredulous tone.

The drawing on the blueprints depicted a complete set of iron armor, with the weights indicated. Gu Shenge needed Lan Qingyan to go to the blacksmith shop in Lanjiang City to purchase and forge twelve sets of iron armor weighing twenty jin, fifty jin, and one hundred jin respectively.
