"Dean Su, there were too many people outside just now, now Gangzi kneels before you."
"Dean Su, didn't we agree? Whichever academy lost would merge into the other academy, and naturally, the students and teachers would join the other academy for study and employment."
"And, hehe, I see that our Peach Blossom Spring Academy only has you, Dean Su, as a teacher. Currently, you only have four Disciples, which you might still be able to manage. But after Little San and Mubai join Peach Blossom Spring Academy, the number of students will directly increase to nine. How can you manage all of them by yourself? We can come and take up positions, and then help take students to hunt for spirit rings, wouldn't that be good?"
"Dean Su, don't worry. I, Old Zhao, and Xiaogang, although we are all elites among teachers, we are also old acquaintances. You only need to pay us 100 gold coins each per month."
Su Ran mercilessly gave Flender a single word:
"Scram."
Congratulations, you have been hired by Peach Blossom Spring Academy.
Congratulations, you have been immediately fired.
"Peach Blossom Spring Academy doesn't need you as teachers, and I won't accept these five students into the academy. Since the ten thousand gold coins have been settled and the deed issue resolved, we are even. Don't cause trouble at our Peach Blossom Spring Academy in the future, otherwise, it won't just be the fate of being one-eyed or lame."
Su Ran glanced at Shrek's students:
"Dai Mubai, age 15, Spirit: White Tiger, spirit power level 38, Innate talent rating: S. Detected physical defect—one-eyed White Tiger. Detected mental defect—inner demon. Talent downgraded to A."
"Ma Hongjun, age 12, Spirit: Evil Fire Phoenix, spirit power level 29, Innate talent rating: S-. Detected physical defect—lame Phoenix. Detected mental defect—inner demon. Talent downgraded to: A-."
"Oscar, age 14, Spirit: Sausage, spirit power level 32, Innate full spirit power, talent rating: S. (Spirit cultivation difficult)"
"Tang San, age 12, twin spirits: Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer, spirit power level 32, Innate full spirit power, dual-World mental force, reached Entry-Level Hidden Weapons standard, Innate talent rating: SS-! Detected physical disability—multiple bone injuries. Detected mental defect—Dao Heart is collapsing. Talent downgraded to: S."
"Xiao Wu, actual age 100,000+, human form age 12, spirit power level 32, talent rating: S+"
The current talents of Shrek's Disciples appeared in Su Ran's eyes, which surprised him. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had already suffered incurable Acquired disabilities, causing their talents to decline.
And besides Tang San, the best talent was surprisingly Xiao Wu, not Oscar with his Innate full spirit power.
However, it was a pity that whether it was Tang San, whose Innate talent had for the first time exceeded S-rank, or Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu, and Oscar, Su Ran had little interest in taking them as Disciples.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were troublemakers, lustful and promiscuous. If they were recruited into Peach Blossom Spring Academy, who knows how many romantic scandals would occur. Su Ran didn't have the energy to clean up after them, not to mention their talents had now declined.
While Oscar had Innate full spirit power, the Sausage Spirit was simply too low-grade. Cultivating him to success would be even more difficult than Ning Rongrong.
Although Tang San's talent was excellent, it was a pity that he had already acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his master, and Su Ran was somewhat concerned about Tang San's character, as he had lived two lives and was deeply cunning.
At that time.
When he first started learning, he addressed Su Ran as: Respected Teacher.
When he achieved great success in learning: Teacher.
When he surpassed his teacher and became a legend himself: Ranzi.
Hiss—
As for Xiao Wu, although Xiao Wu's talent was good—after all, no Spirit Beast that had successfully transformed after a hundred thousand years had poor talent—this rabbit was completely devoted to Tang San, and Tang San had a history of secretly learning techniques…
Su Ran shook his head. Among the remaining students from Shrek, none were suitable to be taken as Disciples.
"An ignorant fellow! I, Yu Xiaogang, will never be beholden to others." Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly, turned around, and left. Flender couldn't even pull him back.
"Ah? We can't study at Peach Blossom Spring Academy?"
"How can this be?"
Su Ran's words undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water over Xiao Wu's head.
She had been thinking about it day and night, tossing and turning, and whenever she thought of that immortal-like young man she had encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest, her heart fluttered.
For a month, she patiently followed Shrek's teammates in Spirit Arena matches, actively performing, all to lose the final PK so that they could all join Peach Blossom Spring Academy, find an opportunity to ascertain Su Ran's identity, or ask him if he knew the person in her heart.
After all, those two Spirit Beasts couldn't have appeared in Peach Blossom Spring Academy for no reason; they must have an inseparable connection with Su Ran.
And now you're telling me you won't accept me?
"Mr. Su, I'm willing to join Peach Blossom Spring Academy, and Brother San certainly is too. Why don't you want us?"
"Right, Brother San?"
Xiao Wu tugged at Tang San's sleeve. Tang San was merely dazed, looking at Su Ran with complex eyes, his heart somewhat wavering.
Could it be that this Mr. Su can really teach unparalleled unique skills?
I originally thought that Grandmaster was the best teacher, capable of helping him quickly integrate into this World of Spirit Masters.
But now, he had doubts.
His teacher said that the upper limit for a Spirit Master's third spirit ring was around 1,700 years, but the other party could absorb those of two or three thousand years?
If it were just one student, it could be called an exception, but it was clear that after they joined Peach Blossom Spring Academy, everyone was like this.
Even he himself broke the norm, absorbing a two-thousand-year spirit ring for his third.
Is his teacher's theory truly correct?
Why can their unique skills be used in conjunction with their Spirits, while my Mysterious Heaven Skill can only warm my tendons and bones, only serving as an aid to cultivation?
Tang San's mind was filled with many confusions, unsure how to voice them.
"I'm sorry, child, I'm not willing to accept just anyone. Talent, timing, attitude… everything must be in the right place."
Su Ran said indifferently.
Then, Su Ran shifted his gaze to the Royal Fight Team members, looking at Ye Lingling:
"I am very interested in this student's Spirit. Your Spirit is very special. If you are willing to become my Disciple, you can come with me."
"Huh? Me?"
Ye Lingling in the Royal Fight Team felt somewhat surprised, pointing at herself in confusion.
"Yes, it's you."
"It is an honor to be chosen by you, but… I am already studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so I'm afraid I cannot join your academy."
Ye Lingling hesitated. In truth, she had a momentary flicker of desire; after all, to be able to Cultivate such astonishing talents as Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Wang Sheng, this masked young man must possess extraordinary abilities.
But it was their first meeting, and for a moment, she truly didn't dare to make a decision, especially with her teammates watching. Joining Peach Blossom Spring Academy would be equivalent to betraying Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Don't take her!"
"No!"
Ning Rongrong, behind Su Ran, tugged at his sleeve, nervously saying.
I am the teacher's only auxiliary tank.
Teacher, please don't take a healer as a student, okay?
If you need milk, I can also try my best to squeeze some out.
(﹏)
Su Ran smiled:
"Alright, since you have doubts, then forget it. However, if you change your mind, you can always come to Peach Blossom Spring Academy in the south of Soto City to find me. Perhaps I can solve the Innate flaw of your Spirit."
"Alright, let's go."
"Solve the Innate flaw of my Spirit?"
"Wait!"
Ye Lingling froze for a moment, not reacting immediately. When she realized something and wanted to ask further, Su Ran waved his sleeve, and he had already left gracefully with his four students.
"How could this be?" Xiao Wu was extremely aggrieved; she had been rejected!
Then what about my immortal-like brother?
Dugu Yan crossed her arms, biting her lower lip, and glanced at Ye Lingling, somewhat unconvinced, muttering:
"Isn't my Spirit special? He only accepts Lingling as a Disciple. I thought a teacher who could Cultivate four Disciples like that would have discerning eyes, but he's nothing special, he can't even recognize my Jade Phosphor Serpent."
"Wait, Lingling's Spirit's Innate flaw is…"
"If he can even solve Lingling's Innate flaw, then what about the poison of me and Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan's expression changed.
…
What Su Ran didn't expect was that, just as he led his four Disciples out of the Sotou City Great Soul Arena, he saw a majestic figure ahead, none other than Yu Xiaogang, who had been the first to leave proudly earlier.
He hadn't expected that Yu Xiaogang had been waiting for Su Ran outside. When he saw Su Ran emerge, he brushed past Su Ran and said indifferently:
"Dean Su, please come with me for a moment, I have something to say to you."
…
In a secluded corner of Soto City, Yu Xiaogang plopped down, sliding directly to his knees before Su Ran:
"Dean Su, there were too many people outside just now. Gangzi was ignorant, Gangzi was impulsive. Now Gangzi kneels before you.
I have researched Spirits for forty years, and this is the first time I have seen someone like you who can transform even an auxiliary Spirit like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an indestructible defense-type existence, and even give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile offensive capabilities. I request that you help me evolve my Spirit as well, so that I can break through level 30 spirit power."
"If not as a teacher, Gangzi can also be your Disciple."
Su Ran didn't even react: "???"
