Background & History

Peach Blossom Spring Academy appeared in Suotuo City directly across from Shrek Academy, immediately competing for prospective students. It was awarded to Su Ran by the Peerless Immortal Master Recruitment System, which tasked him with recruiting and teaching disciples. 1 2

Its first personal disciple was Ning Rongrong. Wang Sheng served as both a student and the academy's gate guard and odd-job worker during its earliest period. 2

After its team defeated Shrek Academy in a Soul Fighting match, Peach Blossom Spring Academy gained betting profits of one million Gold Soul Coins. Shrek was also required to pay a ten-thousand-Gold-Soul-Coin penalty and surrender its land deed, allowing the academy to absorb and rebuild the former Shrek grounds. 44 51 53

Ning Fengzhi funded renovations of the adjacent land and mountain peaks. The expanded grounds included the original academy, the former Shrek campus repurposed as a flower-and-herb garden and rest area, a dining hall, and rear-mountain cultivation grounds. 51 127

Following the Soul Master Competition, the academy expanded its student body through disciples recruited from Plant Academy, Skywater Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, Godwind Academy, Spirit Hall, and other factions. 93 101 136 170 272

After the Battle of Suotuo City, the academy helped secure local autonomy for Suotuo and surrounding regions. It announced the creation of a new kingdom and a People's Classroom open to citizens who wished to participate in improving the region. 264 265

Campus

Grounds and Layout

The original academy was compact but deliberately arranged around peach-blossom imagery:

• Two blooming peach trees stood at the gate; peach branches and petals formed the school emblem and signboard. 3
• Gate-side rooms functioned as the security office and Wang Sheng's residence. 3
• The central area contained Su Ran's residence, a garden, a clear pond stocked with koi, the classroom, and a martial training ground. 3
• Dormitories stood to the left, while the kitchen and storeroom stood to the right. 3
• The academy was later described as a front courtyard, training-focused middle courtyard, and a more relaxed inner court with gardens, pools, residences, and tea pavilions. 32

The expanded campus used white-jade-brick roads lined with rapidly growing peach trees. Its buildings were primarily low eastern-style structures of peach wood and jade brick, arranged to preserve views of the peach forest. 53 136

Training Facilities

• Schoolhouse — Main teaching area, later equipped with a large jade teaching screen bordered by the academy's rules. 127 187
• Flower-and-Herb Garden — Former Shrek grounds converted into a cultivation and rest area for rare flora. 127
• Rear Mountain Training Field — Dedicated cultivation grounds. 127
• Teaching Grove — Outdoor lecture area with student seating among peach trees. 187
• Martial Arts Arenas — Included iron stakes, iron training men, acupoint-marked mannequins, and roly-poly dummies for strength, speed, and targeting practice. 267
• Peach Blossom Array — A defensive and training formation used to control entry and train disciples; it defeated Skywater Academy dean Leng Cishuang when she entered it. 134
• Spirit Field — Contained transplanted Immortal Grade Flora, tended with Dugu Bo's assistance. 68

Education & Discipline

Peach Blossom Spring Academy combines Soul Master cultivation with martial arts, moral instruction, and later statecraft. Its teaching emphasizes technique, perseverance, etiquette, and responsibility rather than Soul Power alone. 1 3 69

The schoolhouse displays conduct-focused mottos including:

• Respect Teacher and Value Dao
• Neither Corrupted by Riches
• Unmoved by Poverty
• Unity of Knowledge and Action
• Think of Righteousness Before Profit
• Self-Strengthening
• Respect the Old and Love the Young
• Establish Oneself and One's Life 69

Students follow a structured routine of early rising, morning exercises, breakfast, class, and martial training. Tardiness and poor conduct can result in disciplinary writing or corporal correction with a palm-slapping board. 33

The academy's competition team became known for its unusually small roster, advanced Ultimate Skills, and Ten Thousand Year fourth Soul Rings. Its members used the Preliminaries as training, often restricting their own techniques before fighting at full strength in the division's final match. 76 85

After choosing not to enter a later All Continent Elite Soul Master Competition, the academy established the Peach Blossom Spring Academy Public Challenge Competition. The event allowed internal matches and challenges from Outer Court students, while also selecting members of the Academy Elite Guard and Inspection Team based on both strength and character. 269

Public Role

Following Suotuo City's devastation, Peach Blossom Spring Academy distributed relief supplies and compensation, assisted reconstruction, and accepted responsibility for failing to protect the city. 264 265

Its People's Classroom opened academy instruction to ordinary citizens. The institution framed education as part of local self-defense, reconstruction, and participatory governance within the newly autonomous territory. 264 265

The Academy Elite Guard and Inspection Team were established to patrol the Peach Blossom Spring Jurisdiction, preserve peace, and punish wrongdoing. 269

Legacy

Peach Blossom Spring Academy became regarded as the continent's undisputed foremost Soul Master academy, having defeated the Star Luo Empire's forces, produced numerous high-level disciples, and gained influence beyond ordinary educational institutions. 357

Its disciples later received divine seats, fused with godhoods, and ascended to the God Realm in succession, led by Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Qian Renxue. 357 365

At graduation, Su Ran awarded the disciples peach blossom records containing memories and achievements from their time at the academy before sending them to the God Realm. 369 After their ascensions, the academy became deserted, though Wang Sheng remained in the Peach Blossom Spring Jurisdiction as a military region commander and continued passing its teachings to the next generation. 370
