"Teacher, how is it that you went out once and brought back another female student, and she's even a girl who was previously on the Shrek team!"
"Teacher, our academy has already drained all the female students from Shrek!"
"I don't know if Shrek's girls are dry or not, but anyway, since Teacher hasn't been here these past two days, I haven't been wet."
At Peach Blossom Spring Academy, in the classroom, when Su Ran introduced the new student to several of his students, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, looking at the newly enrolled Dugu Yan with extreme resentment.
I'll have to write a letter to my father later to ask what to do when Teacher always recruits female students as disciples? The academy is full of love rivals.
Ning Fengzhi replied: "Silly girl, don't panic. If your Teacher likes to take male students, then you need to panic."
…
"Seconded, our Peach Blossom Spring Academy is severely lacking in male students right now," Zhu Zhuqing said, raising her hand lightly.
Actually, it doesn't matter if there are male students or not, but I hope Teacher doesn't take any more female students. The more female disciples there are, the more risk they have of having a love rival!
"Alright, having a new student join is a good thing. Less complaining, everyone. Welcome the new student."
Only Wang Sheng was applauding.
Meng Yiran said grumpily, "The only male student in our academy is still a simpleton. This new student's grandfather almost poisoned you to death not long ago, and you're still applauding."
Wang Sheng rubbed his head: "That doesn't matter. As long as it's a student Teacher takes in, I think it's good."
Good student, take a good look, what is a good student? This is a proper good student.
If every student were as obedient as Wang Sheng, Su Ran would be much more relaxed.
"Alright, Poison Douluo previously had a conflict with our Peach Blossom Spring Academy. Since Poison Douluo has already apologized and you have forgiven him, then the matter is in the past.
Furthermore, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo will also take on the responsibility of protecting our Peach Blossom Spring Academy's students in the future, so none of you should look at Little Six with colored glasses, understand?"
Su Ran tapped the podium. Teacher Su Ran in the classroom had a teacher's authority, especially when he picked up the bamboo stick; no student dared to act playfully.
Dugu Yan was the sixth disciple, so Su Ran called her Little Six.
"Here are also the gifts I got for everyone from Poison Douluo, immortal-grade flowers and plants. Although a few students have already absorbed immortal-grade items, you can keep one to accompany you and absorb it again when you break through level 40 or 50."
Su Ran pointed to his peach blossom mask, from which several immortal-grade flowers and plants emerged:
"Rongrong—Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum. After you absorbed the Vajra Glazed Flower, all your limbs and meridians have been opened. This immortal-grade item, absorb it when you reach the sixth stage of the Golden Bell, and it can allow you to directly reach the seventh stage without obstruction."
"Meng Yiran—Gazing Through Autumn Water Dew. This is suitable for you, a control system Spirit Master, and the Great Summoning of the Undead. You can rely on it to open the second gate of the undead."
"Zhuqing—Narcissus Jade Bone. You can use its power to help you cultivate the power of the Third and Fourth Halls of Yama."
"Wang Sheng—Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. This item can help you strengthen your foundation and cultivate your origin, remove impurities, and allow your aptitude and Spirit to undergo a second transformation, which will be very useful to you."
"Xiao Wu, you take this Yearning Heartbroken… or rather, this Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Product. It should be useful to you."
Life at Peach Blossom Spring Academy was simply too prosperous. While Shrek's students were overjoyed like idiots when they joined Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and got a slightly better cultivation environment, Su Ran was already distributing immortal-grade flowers and plants to his students for the second time.
As for Dugu Yan, Su Ran had already assisted her in absorbing immortal-grade flowers and plants at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, completing her physical transformation, and Dugu Yan had even broken through to level 40 and absorbed her fourth spirit ring. This was why it took two days to return to the academy.
Now, Dugu Yan was the student with the highest spirit power level among the six, though of course, she was also the oldest.
"Teacher, what is that red-petaled flower? Why did you want to give it to Xiao Wu, but then changed your mind midway?"
Meng Yiran was quick-witted and noticed Su Ran's small action.
Su Ran said helplessly, "This red-petaled flower is called Yearning Heartbroken Red. It is the king of flowers and is very suitable for Xiao Wu to absorb. It also has a touching love story… So, unfortunately, this Yearning Heartbroken Red can only be moved by the fresh blood of true lovers."
Su Ran sighed. Originally, this Yearning Heartbroken Red belonged to Xiao Wu. Keeping it with her could help Xiao Wu conceal her Spirit Beast aura, but that was only recognized on the premise that Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship had not broken down. Now… would it still work?
"So, it can test our true love?"
"That's right, but none of you have lovers right now, so you can't activate this Yearning Heartbroken Red."
It would have been fine if Su Ran hadn't said anything, but once he did, the students in the academy all became interested.
"Teacher, since you said it's suitable for me, I still want to try this Yearning Heartbroken Red."
Xiao Wu actually raised her hand at this moment, choosing the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
"You can try, but it will likely fail."
Su Ran said. Not to mention these students, even he himself couldn't absorb this immortal-grade flower and plant.
However, since Su Ran himself possessed the Supreme Immortal-Grade Spirit, the effect of these immortal-grade items on Su Ran's physical improvement was actually quite weak.
"It's okay, I want to try."
"Alright, activate your vital blood, cough out a mouthful of heart blood and sprinkle it on the Yearning Heartbroken Red. If it is willing to detach from the Wujue Stone, it means it has recognized you."
Su Ran floated the Yearning Heartbroken Red above the podium and told Xiao Wu the activation method.
Xiao Wu took a deep breath, walked to the front of the podium, and with a surge of heart blood, a mouthful of blood was sprinkled on the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
A crimson aura connected with Xiao Wu's thoughts. The Yearning Heartbroken Red flower swayed violently. In Xiao Wu's mind, scenes of her and Tang San punishing those small hooligans in Nuoding Academy in the past appeared. However, the final image turned into being chased by Tang San and Tang Hao, and the dark scene of taking a spirit ring flooded her mind, making Xiao Wu feel a chill down her spine.
This startled Xiao Wu, and she spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
The Yearning Heartbroken Red instantly stopped shaking.
Su Ran sighed, "It seems it still failed."
This was truly a tragedy.
"Huh?"
But just as Su Ran was sighing, Xiao Wu's mind recalled that fleeting glance from before. Teacher's peerless face appeared before her eyes, as if a ray of light illuminated her.
Then came the heartwarming scenes after she escaped to the academy, which made Xiao Wu feel incredibly warm. This Yearning Heartbroken Red actually swayed rustlingly… and detached!
"It succeeded?!"
The other students' eyes widened.
Xiao Wu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face also showing joy: "Teacher, I succeeded. Does this mean it has recognized me?"
"Yes… you succeeded. This shouldn't be. How could you… You're not—"
Su Ran looked at Xiao Wu with some surprise, only to see Xiao Wu holding the Yearning Heartbroken Red, gazing at him with a dazed expression and a brilliant smile on her face.
This immediately made Su Ran's heart skip a beat. Oh no… the person Xiao Wu was just thinking about wasn't Tang San, but me, her teacher, was it?!
Is this Yearning Heartbroken Red messing with me?
Does teacher-student affection count as love?
It hasn't even been half a month since I took her as a disciple, and you can detect true love???
I'm a teacher!
Can a teacher's'shi' also be 'wet'?
"Xiao Wu, you're still thinking about your Third Brother. Really, what's so good about your Third Brother? He's plain-looking and has a deep mind."
Ning Rongrong thought Xiao Wu had succeeded in gaining the Yearning Heartbroken Red's recognition because she was thinking of Tang San.
At the same time, her lips also twitched: "Teacher, Xiao Wu got its recognition, can we still try? I'm not snatching this Yearning Heartbroken Red from Xiao Wu, I just want to see if its test of true love is authoritative, so Xiao Wu doesn't misunderstand her feelings and go astray!"
"You can, but once this Yearning Heartbroken Red detaches and recognizes a master, it will repel other people's blood. It will only be willing to absorb the blood of a true lover. So, as long as the tester's blood falls on it and is absorbed, making it even more brilliant, it also indicates true love."
"However, you all shouldn't join this excitement. You are still young, and cultivation should be your priority. Do not be too fixated on these matters of affection."
Su Ran was a little scared.
"But I still want to try!" Ning Rongrong walked up to Xiao Wu and forced out a mouthful of faint silver-red blood. The color of this blood indicated that Ning Rongrong's bone and blood refining cultivation had made some progress.
"I also want to know if mine counts as true love. I want to test it too."
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually taciturn, stood up and gently spat a mouthful of blood onto the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
"Although I know my own feelings, since both of you tested, I can't fall behind. I'll test it too!" Meng Yiran followed suit.
Wang Sheng showed a simple smile when he saw this scene.
Dugu Yan sat beside them, her expression slightly cold. "Why are all the girls in this Peach Blossom Spring Academy so obsessed with love? Is there nothing else in their minds besides love?"
Ten seconds later.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Meng Yiran all widened their eyes, seeing the Yearning Heartbroken Red miraculously absorb all three of their blood, swaying slightly, shimmering with light, and they were extremely happy:
"Teacher, I have true feelings!" Ning Rongrong couldn't help but shriek.
"So this is the feeling of true love, I've remembered it," Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. Although she didn't shout like Ning Rongrong, she was equally excited.
Meng Yiran blinked: "I told you, love at first sight is also true love!"
"Eh? Where's Teacher?"
"Teacher, don't run away!"
"Teacher, come back and look me in the eye!"
They looked around and found that Teacher Su Ran had already left the classroom, taking Dugu Yan towards the training ground.
…
Dugu Yan's eyes showed confusion:
"Teacher, if I'm not mistaken, when they were testing true feelings with the Yearning Heartbroken Red just now, it seemed like Teacher's figure was appearing in their eyes?"
She found it very strange. Why did these girls in Peach Blossom Spring Academy seem to look at Teacher differently?
Upon hearing this, Su Ran immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He had to think of a way.
How could he nip this unhealthy trend of teacher-student romance in the bud in time?!
"You must have seen wrong… It might just be an illusion caused by light refraction because I was standing close. And Little Six, you absolutely must not learn from them. Puppy love is a bad thing."
"Hmm, but, Teacher, I'm already an adult. Even if I fall in love, it wouldn't be puppy love."
"You're right," Su Ran was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dugu Yan was actually an adult, already over 18 years old.
"Teacher, actually, I have another question. Why do you wear a mask every day? You haven't taken it off once these past few days, even after returning to the academy, you still cover your appearance.
Logically, wearing a mask is just to avoid being recognized by outsiders. Does Teacher even need to guard against students?"
Dugu Yan looked into Su Ran's eyes, a hint of charm in her gaze. Although Su Ran was wearing a mask, she could feel the unusual aura about Teacher, and the outline of his bright eyes and cheeks, all of which revealed that Teacher… might be a handsome man?
This made her very curious. She had already become his disciple, so why wouldn't he even let her see his face?
Women have always had an unusual desire for handsome men.
"Cough cough… Yan Little Six, you must remember that appearance is a superficial thing and needn't be bothered with. You just need to remember that I am your teacher, and I can teach you to become a strong person."
Su Ran saw Dugu Yan's thirst for knowledge and seriously changed the subject, absolutely not allowing this newly accepted disciple to repeat the same mistakes!
"Yan Little Six, although you are already an adult, this is not a good thing in our academy. Zhuqing, Rongrong, Xiao Wu… they are all only twelve years old, but their spirit power is not much lower than yours. If we talk about strength, you might not even win against them. What you need most right now is to cultivate diligently, just like Xiao Wu."
"Next, I will teach you three unique techniques."
"Basic unique techniques—Snake Form Fist and Dragon Form Fist. They belong to the same category of Xingyi boxing as the Tiger Form Fist that Wang Sheng cultivated before. Snake Form Fist is compatible with your Spirit and can bring out the gentle characteristics of snake-type Spirits, while your Blue Phosphor Serpent is also a rare dragon-type Spirit. Combined with Dragon Form Fist, it can unleash even stronger aggressiveness.
You can first master Snake Form Fist, then evolve Dragon Form Fist. Once you are proficient in both, I will teach you advanced boxing techniques."
"The third technique is your core cultivation method—Calamity Poison Art. By cultivating this poison art, you no longer need to suppress the erosion of your Blue Phosphor Serpent Poison on your own body. Instead, you can nourish your body with poison, converting the poison into your spirit power, transforming it into calamity. After achieving great success, your Blue Phosphor Serpent body can transform into a Calamity Poison Body—"
