Peerless Immortal Master Su Ran Recruits Ning Rongrong

As countless petals drifted down, the pink-white peach blossoms danced lightly in the wind, fallen blooms swirling like scraps of rosy cloud. A young man slowly walked over, the hem of his robes fluttering in the breeze, his entire bearing otherworldly and refined, like an exiled immortal untouched by mortal dust.

"Teacher, it's all my fault for failing to handle the enrollment properly. Please punish me."

At the sight of the newcomer, Wang Sheng lowered his head and cupped his hands, his face filled with shame.

The young man, Su Ran, waved a hand calmly.

"This isn't your fault. At least you didn't lose to Dai Mubai and embarrass me."

"Teacher? He's the teacher of Peach Blossom Spring Academy? He's actually this young?!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened. She had imagined that Peach Blossom Spring Academy's teacher would be younger than those two old fellows from Shrek, but she had never expected him to be so young that he was about the Same Age as them!

Clearly, the teachers and students on Shrek's side were somewhat surprised as well.

I never thought the only one willing to take me as her master would actually be this girl.

Su Ran glanced at Ning Rongrong, a helpless smile crossing the handsome face beneath his mask.

He had originally thought that, in this enrollment, the one with the greatest chance of joining Peach Blossom Spring Academy would be Zhu Zhuqing.

Unexpectedly, he had recruited the Little Demoness of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Though she was a bit willful, since she was his First Disciple, then so be it. If she had the strength to be willful, what was wrong with that?

"Teacher! I'll be your disciple!"

Ning Rongrong stuck her tongue out at Su Ran adorably.

The Tiger Form Fist Wang Sheng had just performed was extremely exquisite. Even Grandpa Jian might not be able to teach such a fist technique.

This Teacher Su Ran was definitely not simple!

"Good. Then from now on, you are my disciple."

Su Ran gave Ning Rongrong a Peach Blossom Token.

Various other secret arts suitable for cultivation with the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul have also been successfully issued.

A panel floated before Su Ran's eyes, and joy stirred in his heart.

In truth, Su Ran was not a native of Douluo Continent, but a transmigrator.

When he realized he had arrived on Douluo Continent all alone, he was both shocked and delighted.

He had awakened the Divine Peach Blossom Branch martial soul. It was said that this martial soul was a top-tier Immortal Grade Martial Soul, even higher-grade than Yue Guan's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

After several years of burying himself in arduous cultivation, Su Ran had only just broken through to a level seventy-one Soul Sage.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Su Ran awakened the Peerless Immortal Master Recruitment System, which directly rewarded him with a Peach Blossom Spring Academy opposite Shrek Academy and had him take in disciples and teach.

The higher the talent of the disciples he recruited, the richer the rewards they brought him.

At the same time, he could also share his disciples' martial souls and soul skills.

As for Wang Sheng, back then, Su Ran had actually been passing through Nuoding City when Wang Sheng was still a Work-Study Student with not even level ten Soul Power. His mother was also seriously ill, and Su Ran, moved by a moment of kindness, had given him some money to treat her illness.

From then on, he had taken a leave from Nuoding Academy and followed by Su Ran's side wholeheartedly as a little attendant.

Gradually, he learned many things from Su Ran and became something like a disciple yet not quite a disciple, a little brother who nominally called him Teacher.

And Wang Sheng had also gone from a rookie without a single soul skill into a Soul Grandmaster with decent aptitude.

He currently served as Peach Blossom Spring Academy's gate guard + odd-job worker, occasionally stealing lessons.

"Dean, there's something unusual about this kid. The aura around him is pretty strong."

Li Yusong had already sensed the pressure coming from Su Ran.

Flender frowned as well. This masked youth probably wasn't much older than Mubai and the others, yet that calm, unhurried composure about him, that fluctuation of Soul Power, was actually no weaker than his own.

"So this is the Teacher from Peach Blossom Spring Academy? He looks so young."

"He probably isn't much older than us. His bearing is so good, like some youth beyond the mortal world, descended from the heavens."

"But why is he wearing a mask?"

"He must be ugly and too ashamed to show his face," Tang San answered Xiao Wu.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah!"

"No matter how mysterious the aura he's releasing is, at his age, there's no way he's a powerhouse on the same level as us."

"Kid, I don't care who you are. You opened your academy right across from ours and even injured our students. That isn't exactly proper, is it? Besides, you're still a junior."

"How about this? I'll give you two choices. One, merge Peach Blossom Spring Academy into our Shrek, and I can let you become a teacher at Shrek. Two, compensate our Shrek with two thousand Gold Soul Coins and move your school away within three days. Then we'll call this matter settled. Otherwise, we can only handle this according to the rules of Soul Masters."

Flender was planning to extort him hard. No matter which choice he picked, Flender would profit handsomely.

"I just said that if Dean Flender wants to spar, I'm willing to oblige."

Su Ran spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, his tone calm. Just standing there, he carried an unfettered, otherworldly air.

That crafty Flender—he would not fall for his trick.

"Kid, at your age, you can have at most forty or fifty levels of Soul Power. The weakest teacher in our Shrek is still a Soul Emperor. You're simply not qualified to be a teacher. I advise you not to ask for trouble."

"Whether I'm qualified or not isn't up to you."

"Besides, these days, even a Soul Grandmaster who hasn't reached Level 30 can take disciples. Why can't I?"

Su Ran said calmly, merely raising one hand in the "make your move" gesture used in a Soul Master Duel.

Tang San's expression turned strange. Why do I feel like that was aimed at me? Is it just my imagination?

Flender's eyes sharpened.

"I originally appreciated you a little, but since you insist on being so stubborn, don't blame our Shrek for bullying the young with the old. As long as you can defeat Yusong, we'll let this matter rest for now. Otherwise, your Peach Blossom Spring Academy will become ruins today."

"Yusong, go."

Li Yusong sprang up from his stool. A long staff covered in countless fine patterns appeared in his right hand, and six Soul Rings—one white, one yellow, three purple, and one black—surfaced around it, showing that he was a Soul Emperor powerhouse.

Too lazy to even use a Soul Skill, he swung the long staff through the air with a sharp whistle, bringing it down toward Su Ran.

"Don't say This Old Man is bullying the young. This Old Man won't use a Soul Skill. If you can win, then I'll admit you're impressive."

"You talk too much."

"Since you're not using one, I'll use mine."

Su Ran wasted no time.

Feet Sank. The surrounding scene seemed to turn dreamlike, and peach blossoms began drifting down from all over the sky. Behind him, a beautiful, enormous Peach Blossom Tree bloomed in full splendor.

And from within that Peach Tree, a radiant Peach Blossom Immortal Branch flew before Su Ran. Beneath his feet appeared seven Soul Rings: yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.

Seven rings—a Soul Sage!
