"White robes like snow falling from the nine heavens, a single peach blossom arrives, surpassing ten thousand years of spring in the human world."
"What excellent swordsmanship, truly excellent swordsmanship! Fengzhi, you really should have brought that old fellow Chen Xin with you this time. If he saw such exquisite swordsmanship, I wonder if he would still have the face to claim to be the number one Sword Douluo in the world."
"But if that were the case, this old man wouldn't be able to witness swordsmanship more refined than that old fellow Chen Xin's. It's best for this old man to help."
"Clear Sky Douluo, you are a Titled Douluo who has been famous for a long time. After disappearing for so many years, how did you learn to act so shamelessly?"
"Rongrong, step back. I'll help him."
Within a radius of several hundred meters around Peach Garden Academy, peach trees grew luxuriantly. A giant peach blossom tree, thirty meters tall, rose from the ground, with peach petals flying everywhere. The scene was incredibly beautiful, and only a young figure in white stood there.
The young man held a peach branch, unfazed. The purple-white Epic Immortal Master's Crown descended from the sky, and streaks of crimson peach energy floated from the four disciples behind him, swirling around the flourishing giant peach tree.
"Strength increased by 40%!"
"Domain: Divine Beauty Peach Heaven—All the peach blossoms in the sky can become swords, all plants are at my command. Under Peach Heaven, all beings are equal. Additional Immortal Awe state: Suppresses all Spirits."
"Seventh Spirit Ability—Red Dust True Body: Immortal grade metamorphosis, attribute sublimation, enter Red Dust Peach Immortal state!"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda amplification: Strength +40%, spirit power +40%, speed +40%!"
"Seven Treasures turn out with glazed light, Seven Treasures have names—Strength, Speed, spirit power, Defense, Attack."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda high-level Spirit Master buff replacement: Strength +80%, spirit power +80%, speed +80%, defense +80%, attack +80%"
Tang Hao's strength was not to be underestimated. Su Ran focused all his attention, directly activating his seventh Spirit Ability, Spirit Avatar.
In the Red Dust True Body state, Su Ran was enveloped in crimson energy, and an immortal white mist spread, making him appear like an immortal who had stepped out of a celestial peach forest. The scene was like something from a painting, and Ning Rongrong was already mesmerized.
Just as Ning Rongrong came to her senses and applied the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda amplification to Su Ran, two familiar voices suddenly appeared behind her.
At the same time, five buffs, even stronger than those released by Ning Rongrong, were stacked on Su Ran, causing his strength to undergo an absolute transformation at this moment.
Simultaneously releasing five Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda amplifications, only a handful of people in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could achieve this.
"Dad!"
"And Grandpa Bone!"
"Why are you here?"
"You've come at just the right time, Dad, Grandpa Gu, quickly help Teacher beat that unreasonable person to death!!!"
"He actually dared to bully my teacher, he's truly too detestable!"
Ning Rongrong saw the two men who appeared out of thin air behind her. One had a face like polished jade, a straight nose, and a refined, gentle appearance. The other was very strange; although his body was huge, his entire body seemed to be supported by bones, and his voice was very hoarse, like wind rustling leaves.
Before Ning Rongrong could ask why they were there, her face was filled with surprise, and she excitedly pointed at Tang Hao, who was swinging his Clear Sky Hammer, attempting to use rank suppression to force Su Ran into submission.
Dad is the strongest support system Spirit Master on the continent, and Grandpa Bone is the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Only a handful of people on the entire continent can fight Grandpa Bone!
"Rongrong, your teacher, he's quite capable."
Ning Fengzhi walked over, patted Ning Rongrong's head, and smiled faintly. Gu Rong also held Su Ran in high regard.
And in that instant.
Su Ran didn't hesitate at all. He broke off branches from the sky, transforming them into nine peach blossom immortal swords.
"Sixth Spirit Ability—Nine Luminaries Peach Blossoms!"
The powers of the nine luminaries—Sun, Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, Gold, Earth, Rahu, and Ketu—transformed into peach blossom swords and launched simultaneously, clashing head-on with the incredibly massive Clear Sky Avatar. They did not fall into a disadvantage; terrifying spirit power Turbulence exploded, causing a strong wind and the ground to sink.
Apart from Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, everyone else was pushed back several steps by the aftershocks.
Just a few seconds later.
Two figures brushed past each other.
The wind was so silent.
Su Ran and Tang Hao landed successively, dozens of meters apart, standing back to back.
"With this skill, the outcome is decided."
Gu Rong said faintly.
"Who won?"
Grand Duke Dragon and Snake Woman were dumbfounded on the side.
Others said their Dragon Snake Spirit Fusion Skill was comparable to a Titled Douluo, but after witnessing the clash of this skill, they finally understood why Su Ran told them they were not the opponent's match.
If they had faced that terrifying hammer, they would probably be lying on the ground, unable to get up.
The next moment, a crackling sound was heard, an unusual noise coming from Su Ran's face, who was still facing away from the crowd.
"Teacher!"
Just that unusual sound immediately made the hearts of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, Wang Sheng, and the other four students suddenly leap. They were extremely nervous and rushed towards Su Ran.
"Don't worry, your teacher should be fine. Although he had my amplification, for a Spirit Saint to pierce through the right arm of Clear Sky Douluo, who was once so formidable more than ten years ago, is already an astonishing feat."
Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice. From his perspective as the continent's top support system Spirit Master, he had initially expected Su Ran and Tang Hao's clash to be evenly matched.
He hadn't expected Su Ran's Nine Swords Peach Blossoms to not only withstand Tang Hao's overbearing destructive power.
One of the peach blossom swords even broke through the Clear Sky Hammer amidst the chaotic energy, leaving a sword mark on the Clear Sky Hammer's indestructible body, and then pierced through Tang Hao's right shoulder!
The young man's strength was simply unparalleled among those of the same rank.
"Pfft—"
Just then, Tang Hao could no longer keep up the pretense. He quickly covered his right shoulder, sealing the wound with spirit power, but it was clearly visible that there was a finger-sized blood hole piercing through his right shoulder, perfectly penetrating his right scapula and right arm bone.
That right arm bone glowed faintly, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was clearly a Spirit Bone!
Buzz—
"Su Ran, I'll let you off this time, but remember, I'm only sparing you because I can't bear to see your unique techniques lost. I have a heart that cherishes talent."
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I, Tang Hao, will remember what happened today. One day, you will repay it a hundredfold!"
Looking back again, Tang Hao's figure had already vanished from Peach Garden Academy. For some reason, he fled very skillfully, and his speed was fast, as if he had a lot of experience. He didn't forget to utter harsh words while escaping.
...
"Little San."
Soto City, outskirts.
At this moment, Tang San's mind was still filled with Grandmaster's past teachings, and Xiao Wu's incessant chatter about the many benefits of joining Peach Garden Academy echoed in his ears.
Just as Xiao Wu was leading him towards Peach Garden Academy, a terrifying aura of battle emanated from a thousand meters away.
The two sped up and rushed over, only to see several figures gathered there. One dark figure fled in disarray, and a familiar voice made Tang San's body tremble.
"You are…"
"Dad!"
"Dad, why is it you?!"
Tang San was filled with surprise.
"Don't ask too many questions for now, come with me immediately."
"And you."
Tang Hao's sharp gaze swept over Xiao Wu, and he said in a deep voice.
"No, I'm not going with you, I want to stay here!"
Xiao Wu's eyes were fixed on the figure at the entrance of Peach Garden Academy from afar, unable to look away.
That figure, with a partially revealed mask, had such an exquisite outline.
Although there was a distance, making it impossible to fully discern his features, that ethereal, immortal-like aura combined with the familiar outline, as if the surrounding living beings all became agile and vibrant, made her heart race and her blood surge. It had already made Xiao Wu certain of his identity.
It's him! It's him! It's him!
The person she was looking for was the dean of Peach Garden Academy—Su Ran!
"You have no choice."
However, Tang Hao's large hand was like a clamp, gripping Xiao Wu's arm tightly as he fled into the distance. She couldn't break free at all.
