"Poison Protector, for the days to come, the Academy will trouble you to look after it."
"Dean, don't worry. With all these rare flowers and plants here, even if you told me to leave, I wouldn't feel at ease."
"Yaner, after you go to Heaven Dou City, you must listen to Mr. Su."
"Of course, Grandpa said to listen to Mr. Su. If those idiot teachers at Heaven Dou Royal Academy dare to spout nonsense, they deserve to be poisoned to death. Don't be afraid, Grandpa will take responsibility."
On this day, at the entrance of Peach Blossom Spring Academy, Su Ran, with seven students, was ready to depart. After entrusting Dugu Bo with the Academy's management, he boarded the luxurious carriage purchased by the Academy and headed north.
Dugu Bo watched Dugu Yan and the others leave until the carriage disappeared into the distance.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, turn around, and silently water the flowers. But thinking of Yaner's upcoming performance in the Spirit Master Competition, the old poisoner couldn't help but smile:
"Spirit Masters of the entire continent, this time, you will get to see a true spectacle."
It is common for ordinary academies to gain experience by participating in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.
But if Peach Blossom Spring Academy participates, it will be to let everyone on the continent witness the spectacle of Peach Blossom Spring Academy.
...
"Ling Xiaoqi, what cultivation method did Mr. Su teach you yesterday? Can you tell us?"
"Your senior sister Rongrong practices the indestructible and incomparably overbearing Golden Bell Cover and the offensive and defensive Yongchun! Only Mr. Su knows where my Golden Bell Cover's weak point is!"
"I'm also very curious about what Lingling learned. What type of peerless skill is suitable for the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit to learn? It's really hard to guess."
"Mr. Su must have taught you how to solve your Spirit's problem, right?"
There were two carriages heading to Heaven Dou City. Su Ran sat in the smaller lead carriage, driven by Wang Sheng. Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling sat in the larger rear carriage, driven by Zhu Zhuqing.
On the way to Heaven Dou City, the students in the rear carriage became curious about Ye Lingling's unique skill.
Ye Lingling felt their enthusiasm and did not hide anything, instead, she generously told her teammates.
Mr. Su also taught her a saying yesterday:
"Although these senior brothers and sisters of yours usually bicker, and often stir up trouble with their sharp tongues, if they accidentally make you angry, don't take it to heart. You will be a team in the future, and you need to know each other intimately and trust each other to unleash the true power of the team."
"I practice the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus method. Although this method is not complicated, it is exquisite. Not only can it allow my Spirit to simultaneously possess the abilities of healing and life-draining, but after success, I will also not affect my family's inheritance of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit. However, I have only studied for one night and cannot yet grasp its profound mysteries, so what I am mainly practicing now is Soul Capturing Art."
"I want to try to master it to the introductory and minor accomplishment levels before the Spirit Master Competition's promotion rounds. Mr. Su said that this way, I will have a control skill for self-preservation. I'll try my best not to drag everyone down."
A soul-nurturing grass shimmering with silver light appeared in Ye Lingling's palm, emitting energy that made one's soul extremely comfortable.
"A mental control system unique skill, this seems to be the first time someone among us has learned this type, right?"
"It can also awaken a second form of the Spirit, which has a similar effect to Zhuqing's and Meng Yiran's Ten Halls of Yama and the Great Law of the Gate of the Dead. It will definitely be very strong if cultivated well."
"More than just very strong, it simultaneously possesses the abilities to heal life and drain life? That's too abnormal! The Nine Heart Begonia's original healing ability was already powerful enough, and now not only is there no Spirit inheritance problem, but it can also devour life?!"
"Such a good thing, why didn't Mr. Su teach me, ah ah ah ah—"
After hearing about Ye Lingling's cultivation method, Dugu Yan and the others were quite impressed, and Ning Rongrong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, unable to hold back.
The Nine Heart Begonia originally belonged to the continent's top support system Spirits, just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. However, due to the Nine Heart Begonia's Spirit inheritance problem, it could not grow as large as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and rank among the Upper Three Sects.
But now, the Nine Heart Begonia can evolve into a second form—the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus—solving the Spirit inheritance problem and also gaining the ability to devour life, which immediately gave Ning Rongrong a sense of crisis.
According to the Nine Heart Begonia's terrifying healing power, which can infinitely revive you as long as you're not dead, then wouldn't the Nine Revolutions Black Lotus, possessing an equivalent reverse devouring power, be able to keep you in a state of severe injury and near-death?
This effect, just by hearing it, is stronger than my Golden Body Glaze!
Mr. Su, you're being biased!!!
Could it be that a physical support ultimately can't compare to a sweet healer?
Mr. Su, if you really like milk, Rongrong can eat more papaya.
Wuwuwu~
(╥_╥)
Just then, another sound came from the front carriage, enough to shatter Rongrong:
"It will still take some time to reach Heaven Dou City, Lingling, come over to my carriage. I'll give you a make-up lesson."
"Uh... it might be that I just enrolled, and there's too much of a difference in curriculum with my senior sisters, so Mr. Su wants to give me an intensive crash course. Then I'll go over now, please excuse me, senior sisters."
Ye Lingling said. It was perfect; she indeed had some confusion about the cultivation method that she wanted to ask Mr. Su about. Mr. Su probably considered this too, how thoughtful.
"Go, I'm fine, I won't be envious at all, I'm very good, Mr. Su is also doing this for our team's good, go, go, I don't mind at all, don't feel burdened."
Ning Rongrong watched Ye Lingling's back as she switched carriages, showing a shattered smile.
But her heart was already a little frantic:
He only called Lingling? New students get such good treatment!
I understand, after all, Mr. Su is tired of me... Wuwuwu~
Intensive crash course? Where intensive? Crash where?! Be clear?!
...
"Sister Yanzi, why do the senior sisters seem so strange towards Mr. Su? It feels like... they don't treat Mr. Su as a teacher, but as... a boyfriend!"
"You'll get used to it. I'm already used to it. Moreover, Mr. Su is indeed charming."
"Then why does Mr. Su always wear a mask?"
"This... I don't know the reason either, maybe Mr. Su has his own considerations."
"Sister Yanzi, you haven't even seen Mr. Su's face once in over a year at the Academy, have you?!"
"This... um..."
Two days later.
Heaven Dou City, core urban area, a detached villa park—Peach Blossom Spring. This was specially named by Ning Fengzhi for the Peach Blossom Spring Academy teachers and students' residence.
The female students of Peach Blossom Spring Academy returned with gift bags and food, their faces bright with youthful cheer.
Only Ye Lingling, who had just enrolled, looked at Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, and Xiao Wu with strange expressions, full of confusion.
Only one day remained until the start of the Spirit Master Competition.
Staff from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School delivered two peach wood boxes to the Peach Blossom Spring teachers and students.
In these last two days, Su Ran did not let the students continue training, but instead let them relax, stroll around Heaven Dou City, and enjoy themselves. They had just returned at this time.
They had worked hard for over a year. Continuing intense training right before the competition would be counterproductive; it was better to have a calm mind and a good mood. Just performing at their usual level would be enough.
Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran, those two girls, loved to drag Su Ran to go shopping. Although Su Ran disliked noisy and bustling places, he still accompanied them once.
As soon as the Peach Blossom Spring Academy team appeared on the street, they became a beautiful sight. Besides Wang Sheng, the honest disciple, Mr. Su had an extraordinary temperament and an immortal demeanor, and the six disciples were all beautiful as flowers, each with unique charm. Even in Heaven Dou City, the imperial capital, they were outstanding, with a 100%Return Rate (turn-back rate).
The first priority for girls going shopping: buy beautiful clothes.
While dragging Mr. Su shopping, Ning Rongrong also bore an important reproductive task assigned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School:
She couldn't let the healer Ling Xiaoqi monopolize Mr. Su's heart. She had to figure out Mr. Su's preferred outfits and aesthetic! To get a handle on Mr. Su!
So Su Ran was very passively dragged by the students to watch an exciting fashion show.
[Ning Rongrong transforms into a professional pink female teacher, using a reverse tactic to tease the strict teacher.]
[Zhu Zhuqing shyly tries a creamy sweet style, with her ample chest almost bursting out, provoking imagination, *chu mi*~]
[Meng Yiran transforms into a sexy dark queen, her smooth jade back making people exclaim that it would be a pity not to get cupping.]
[Xiao Wu in a fiery bikini, demonstrating her supple waist skills to Mr. Su, yoga poses making people blush.]
[Big man Wang Sheng in a leopard print skirt, making the girls laugh, Mr. Su was once breathless.]
[...]
This was the reason for Ye Lingling's great shock.
Senior sisters, isn't our school motto to respect teachers and value the Dao?
Why are you enticing teachers and rushing the Dao?
...
Just on the day before the competition, the Peach Blossom Spring Academy's team uniforms and school uniforms were also custom-made and personally sent by Ning Fengzhi.
Two wooden boxes, each containing twenty sets of male and female school uniforms and team uniforms.
The Peach Blossom Spring Academy's school uniforms and team uniforms were all designed by Su Ran himself, with the patterns woven and embroidered by the artisans of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The main color scheme adopted elegant "Cloud White," accented with "Peach Blossom Spring Pink" trim, echoing the name of Peach Blossom Spring Academy. The school emblem, a hot-stamped Peach Blossom Branch, was embroidered on the chest.
The girls' school uniforms were flowing long dresses, ancient and ethereal, with gradually fading pink peach blossom tassel ribbons adorning the sides. The boys wore gentlemanly ancient robes, embroidered with peach branch patterns.
As for the team uniforms, to facilitate Spirit Master duels, they were designed with the concept of "Blazing Splendor, Forged Sword into Poetry." The overall design adopted gradient "Female Rosy Cloud Pink" and "Male Dark Night Peach" as the main colors, making them looser. When standing, they resembled elegant blossoming peaches; when moving, they were like divine swords unsheathed.
