Time passed bit by bit, and before they knew it, more than a month had gone by since the Soul Master Competition began.
During this month, the six students of the Academy shed their beginner titles and were promoted to Peach Blossom Bloom-tier students, wearing the three-petal peach emblem of Peach Garden Academy.
Students in Peach Garden Academy have unique grade titles: Budding (new students), Peach Blossom Bloom-tier, and Flourishing Bloom-tier, symbolizing the students' learning progress with different states of peach blossoms.
Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing, the six students who had access to master-level ultimate skills, were all promoted to Peach Blossom Bloom-tier students.
The remaining students were still Budding students.
"Soto City, south of the city, Peach Garden Academy… it really is a bit out of the way. If Teacher hadn't given us the peach blossom token for guidance, it would have taken us a good while to find this place."
"But it's so beautiful here! I could smell the peach blossoms from afar~ We're about to see Teacher! It's been over a month since we last saw each other, I miss Teacher so much! So excited!"
"Shh, Yue'er, calm down, or else the Dean will scold you again later."
"Emm~"
Outside Peach Garden Academy, a group of women dressed in aqua-blue clothes and ice-white long skirts appeared on Peach Blossom Road, looking at the surrounding scenery with surprise.
The villages around the Academy had now become the outer area of Peach Garden Academy, with red maple trees and peach groves transplanted there.
Of course, Su Ran did not treat these villagers unfairly. To create a quiet training ground where students could train freely, Su Ran spent a full twenty million gold coins to purchase the villagers' farmlands and forests at a high price, and invited Ning Fengzhi to build them an ancient-style new town as a resettlement area.
Yao Zi, Mu Yunzhu, and Mu Yunteng of Plant Academy had also arrived at Peach Garden Academy to report a few days ago.
Sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had also successively 'withdrawn' from their original Academy in the form of glorious graduation, becoming the pride of Tianshui Academy.
At Tianshui Academy, they were already outstanding graduates and role models in the hearts of countless junior sisters, but what awaited them at Peach Garden Academy was a new beginning.
Accompanying Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were teammates like Snow Dance and Qiu Ruoshui, following behind their aunt Cold Moon Han and a woman in an ice-white long skirt.
Next to the woman in the white skirt, the usually playful Shui Yue'er became very reserved, not daring to say much.
The woman in the white skirt looked at the crimson peach forest in front of her, a hint of surprise appearing in her cold eyes, and she spoke poetically:
"Ten li of tender peach blossoms veiled in mist, with vibrant flowers blooming along the path, wind sways the delicate stamens, filling sleeves with fragrance, sunlight illuminates the fragrant forest, casting shadows among the branches. It truly is a fairyland on earth."
"Let's go. I want to see what kind of Teacher he is, to be able to simultaneously enchant both my daughters and my sister to the point of being utterly captivated, even wanting to leave Tianshui Academy to study here."
"Cishuang, can you please be a bit nicer later? You look like you're here to demand an explanation. Don't offend my Dean Su."
Cold Moon Han felt a bit guilty in front of her sister Leng Cishuang, but her words made Shui Yue'er pout her small mouth and grumble:
"No way! If Dean Sister sees Teacher Su, I'm afraid she'll be too nice."
Don't let Mama's cold face now, like a perpetually frozen snow mountain, deceive you. Shui Yue'er was certain that when Mama saw Teacher's handsome face, her attitude would definitely change.
"I naturally have my own judgment. Am I an unreasonable person? If he can truly teach you the ultimate skills and achieve the results you told me about, Tianshui Academy will naturally be willing to become friends with Peach Garden Academy."
Leng Ci霜 glanced at Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er and said indifferently.
After speaking, she turned and stepped onto Peach Blossom Road.
Leng Cishuang, Dean of Tianshui Academy, a Spirit Douluo powerhouse, with the Ice Phoenix Spirit, and Shui Bing'er's birth mother.
...
"This is the territory of Peach Garden Academy. Please, idlers, stop and return the way you came, or bear the consequences."
A seven-member Spirit Master team from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, patrolling the area, blocked the path of Shui Bing'er and her group. The captain at the head bowed slightly, advising them to turn back.
