Chapter 8: Su Ran, the Protector
“You are the teacher from Taoyuan Academy?”
“What kind of skill is it for a teacher to bully a student?”
“It is only right for a teacher to discipline a bad student.”
“However, merely disciplining you is letting you off too lightly. If a student is not taught, it is the teacher’s fault.”
Su Ran said indifferently:
“Wang Sheng, however he bullied Rongrong, you hit him back the same way.”
“I’m going to Shrek Academy to have a chat with his teacher.”
“Yes.”
As Su Ran spoke, Wang Sheng ran out from Taoyuan Academy, released his battle Tiger Spirit, and charged towards Ma Hongjun.
Meanwhile, Su Ran slowly walked into Shrek Academy.
Looking at Su Ran’s calm and protective back, Ning Rongrong’s eyes were filled with Peach Blossom:
“When Teacher isn’t strict, he’s still quite charming. Did Teacher go to Shrek Academy to reason with their teachers?”
“A teacher who protects his disciples is the most charming!”
“I hope to cultivate the second layer of Golden Bell soon, so I can see what Teacher really looks like!”
During this past month, although she spent most of her time in special training, Teacher Su Ran was often present during the training.
Although Teacher Su Ran was very strict during training and never relaxed, outside of training, Teacher was quite meticulous. Every day, he would personally prepare herbs and beast blood for her bathing and body tempering, prepare hot water for her, and help her treat injuries caused by training.
During her menstrual period, he would even prepare brown sugar water for her; even her father had never been so attentive!
This month, she also asked Wang Sheng a lot about Teacher Su Ran.
It turns out that Teacher also achieved his current strength step by step, through his own diligent cultivation.
Teacher dared to be a pioneer; not only did his first spirit ring challenge the limit of its age, but his second spirit ring even challenged a thousand years by skipping levels. Although he succeeded in the end, it must have been a near-death experience at the time.
What surprised Ning Rongrong the most was Wang Sheng’s expression of adoration and infatuation when he spoke of Teacher’s appearance.
Wang Sheng said that Teacher Su Ran had once caused an entire city of young girls to go crazy because of his peerless beauty, surrounding him so tightly that not even water could pass through.
Furthermore, daughters of dukes and nobles spent heavily to propose marriage to Teacher Su Ran, and among them were even Spirit King and Spirit Emperor level powerhouses who forced marriage upon Teacher Su Ran, from which he barely managed to escape.
All of this was simply because Teacher Su Ran was incredibly handsome.
Therefore, ever since then, Su Ran had worn a mask all day, not showing his true face, to avoid being a male femme fatale and a Peach Immortal bringing disaster to the World.
When Ning Rongrong first heard this, she only thought it was a story, and its authenticity was likely low. Although Teacher Su Ran usually had a good temperament, how could anyone be so handsome to that extent?
Even her Grandpa Sword, who was said to be extraordinarily talented in his youth and had many fangirls, never had kings and nobles, or even powerful Spirit Masters, madly confessing to him or forcing marriage.
Ning Rongrong was now very curious about Teacher Su Ran’s appearance.
What did the face beneath that Immortal Dragon Peach Blossom mask look like?
…
When Su Ran emerged from Shrek Academy, the sun had just set, and night fell.
Outside Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun had already been beaten black and blue by Wang Sheng, utterly subdued.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar finally understood why Boss Dai had lost to this Wang Sheng.
Damn it, this guy’s Tiger Form Fist, practiced for several years, had reached the level of grand accomplishment. Every punch and stance was like a fierce battle tiger personally present; it could attack and defend, completely unlike them, who could only use Spirit abilities to fight turn-based battles.
Oscar was beside him, giving him Big Recovery Sausage, but Ning Rongrong snorted coldly and threw two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda buffs on Wang Sheng, making the beating even worse.
“Dean, help us get revenge! Their Taoyuan Academy is bullying people, waaaah~”
Ma Hongjun, covering his swollen, pig-like face, immediately cried out upon seeing Flender emerge.
“Shut up, you brat, it’s all your fault. I’ll deal with you later.”
Flender reprimanded Ma Hongjun.
He turned and offered Su Ran a smiling face:
“Dean Su Ran, it’s our Shrek’s fault for not teaching this boy well. I will strictly discipline him from now on. Please calm down, no need to be angry. Please don’t let this harm the harmony between our Shrek Academy and Taoyuan Academy. It’s fate that two Spirit Master academies can be located together.”
Su Ran merely said indifferently: “It’s best if you understand this principle. To be honest, I actually don’t like going to people’s homes to reason with them. I also hope this World can be a bit more peaceful.”
“Of course, of course.”
Flender replied with a smile.
Su Ran had already walked calmly to the entrance of Taoyuan Academy, glancing at the disfigured Ma Hongjun, feeling somewhat satisfied.
This kid deserved his retribution.
“Let’s go, back to the Academy. I believe Dean Flender will surely teach and educate well in the future and will no longer allow disciples to randomly flirt with young girls.”
Su Ran said indifferently.
“Hmph!”
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly at Ma Hongjun and the others, then followed Su Ran back to school.
Watching their calm and graceful retreating figures, Ma Hongjun felt very aggrieved:
“Dean, why?”
“When has our Shrek ever been afraid of trouble?!”
“Is this matter just going to be dropped???”
“You still dare to speak, you stinky Fatty, always causing trouble for the Academy. I’ll fine you 100 gold coin for the Academy’s losses.”
Flender said to Ma Hongjun, annoyed.
“What? I have to pay too?!”
Ma Hongjun was truly on the verge of tears.
“Fatty, a 100 gold coin fine is already light. Do you know what that Su Ran did when he came to our Shrek?”
At this moment, inside Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai and Tang San also walked out with grim faces.
“What did he do? Does he dare to be presumptuous? Do you think our Dean and Teacher Zhao are just decorations?”
“He… really dared.”
Dai Mubai looked at the white immortal figure within Taoyuan Academy, a hint of fear in his eyes.
Just now, this Su Ran actually broke into Shrek alone, saying that their Shrek students had hit his students, and he didn’t want to bully the younger generation, so he came to challenge their school’s teachers; anyone could step up.
Zhao Wuji had a hot temper. He was already indignant when he saw Li Yuesong seriously injured before, and seeing Su Ran so arrogant, he stepped forward without hesitation.
The result… the Immovable Bright King was beaten into a tattered fishing net by Su Ran.
Zhao Wuji, known for his defense and attack power, was pierced like a sieve by a seemingly ordinary Peach Blossom Branch, covered in blood holes. He was now lying on a board awaiting emergency treatment.
If the fight continued, Flender was afraid Su Ran would dismantle the entire Shrek. They were already short on money, which would only make things worse.
“Fatty, you really are something. Boss Dai already lost to that Wang Sheng before, why did you still provoke them? Are you falling back into old habits?”
Tang San said.
Dai Mubai’s face darkened:
“I was careless before; I didn’t expect him to practice fist techniques. Next time, I’ll definitely win him. My White Tiger Spirit is the king among tigers.”
“That Wang Sheng’s Tiger Form Fist is indeed very powerful… but… Fatty didn’t just lose to him, Fatty lost to that support Spirit Master, Ning Rongrong…”
Oscar touched the injury on his face and said weakly.
“What? Fatty, lost to a support? Lost to that girl?!”
“How is that possible?!”
“What exactly did this Su Ran teach? A support can even defeat an attack system Spirit Grandmaster?! Unbelievable.”
Upon hearing this, all of Shrek was shocked.
