"What's wrong with her?"
"Perhaps she fainted from joy after hearing that Teacher Dong became a teacher at the academy?!"
"Oh, that's simple."
"Qian Renxue ~ Bibi Dong has been driven out of the academy by Teacher and has returned to Spirit City, crying."
Shui Yueer had a flash of inspiration, walked over to Hu Liena's side, and whispered this sentence into Qian Renxue's ear, who was leaning faintly in Hu Liena's arms.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes instantly cleared, and her whole person became vibrant.
She stood up from Hu Liena's embrace: "Really? That's great."
"I must have been dreaming just now."
Qian Renxue pinched her brow. This dream was truly terrifying. Her most beloved and respected Teacher Su was going to be with her crazy mother. A teacher turning into a strict father—this contrast was too great, and she truly couldn't accept it.
"Yue'er Senior Sister… what did you say to Xue'er Senior Sister?"
"Xue'er Senior Sister, this fainting and waking up, the contrast is too great, isn't it?"
Hu Liena was stunned.
Buzz ~
"Xue'er Senior Sister, why are you fainting again?"
However, in less than five seconds, the recovered Qian Renxue's gaze fell on the two figures standing in front of the classroom, and she instantly felt her vision darken again, almost fainting a second time.
"It's real, it's all real, everything is real!"
"It's over, it's really over now. We're all clowns, truly manipulated by that crazy woman."
"Xue'er Senior Sister, you can't say that, can you? Teacher is just being a little nicer to Teacher Dong and keeping her to help with teaching, that's all." Although Hu Liena was also a bit worried, she still spoke up for the two teachers.
After all, Xue'er Senior Sister just came to study; she doesn't understand the hardships of their apprenticeship.
Actually, as long as they are obedient and follow the rules, Teacher will be very doting!
I don't believe Teacher Su will make an exception for Teacher Dong! Not at all!
"Nana, you are truly an exception. You've been her student for so long and are still so pure."
…
"I know that for a long time, no other teachers have been responsible for your teaching at the academy, so it's normal for everyone to be surprised and uneasy about Teacher Dong's employment."
"But I can assure everyone that Teacher Dong can only truly teach independently after passing the teacher standard test I set. Before that, she will only assist me in teaching. Your cultivation will still primarily be my responsibility."
Seeing varying reactions among the students, but mostly surprise regarding Bibi Dong's employment, especially with his improved attitude towards Bibi Dong, which led to much speculation among these girls, Su Ran found it a bit tricky.
Su Ran spoke, easing the atmosphere among the students. The next moment, he began to provide the assessments that had been missing for some time:
"Since returning from Slaughter City, I have also been observing your progress over the past two years."
"First, the Core Disciples: Wang Sheng, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran. Your spirit power has reached the Advanced Spirit King Realm, and the Grandmaster-level unique skills you Cultivate have all made progress. Although there is some gap compared to Zhuqing, Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Lingling, this is only because you haven't undergone training in suitable places. Next, I will try my best to arrange appropriate training grounds for you."
"In addition, several other students deserve special praise. During my absence, you followed Senior Sister and Poison Guardian, actively using medicinal herbs for Body Refining and training. Teacher is very pleased."
"Shui Bing'er's spirit power is not inferior to the top Core Disciples, also reaching the Advanced Spirit King Realm. The Heavenly Phoenix Frost and Frozen Ice Cotton Palm she learned are both mastered. I eagerly await the next transformation of your Ice Phoenix Spirit, becoming a truly ultimate Spirit."
"Yao Zi, your Vermillion Bird Whip Technique is very proficient, and your spirit power has also reached the five-ring Advanced Spirit King level. Your attribute is countered by Bing'er's, so you can spar with Bing'er more often to figure out how to maximize the power of your unique skills in countering attributes. This will be very beneficial for your future Cultivation."
"Mu Yunteng, regarding the flexibility of the Green Snake Whip Technique, you can consult Meng Yiran and Yaner. Theirs are snake-type Spirits, which will help you understand the true essence of the snake. Don't be afraid just because they are Senior Sisters and stronger than you. If the Green Snake Whip Technique is used with acupuncture, even these Senior Sisters of yours may not gain an advantage."
"Qingzhu, among my twenty students, you are the only Sword Cultivator. Although the Green Bamboo Spirit is not as sharp and incisive as a sword Spirit, it has its advantages. The Green Bamboo is sharp yet subtle, with many twists and turns. White Ape Swordplay and Taiji Swordplay are both excellent sword techniques, very suitable for you to learn.
You have made great progress in White Ape Swordplay; Sword Douluo must have given you a lot of secret pointers, right? Taiji Swordplay has the same profoundness as Tai Chi Fist. Xiao Wu has also returned now; you can take time to consult Xiao Wu on the principle of Taiji's two polarities."
"Xiao Chenyu, you truly surprise me. With your Aptitude, to Cultivate the Vajra Wolf to your current level, most of the bones and flesh throughout your body must have been tormented over a hundred times. Your Senior Brother Wang Sheng must have hammered you relentlessly with Subduing Tiger Fist and Dragon Subduing Palm. I hope you continue to work hard; perhaps one day, you might catch up to your Senior Brother Wang Sheng's level."
"Shui Yueer, the path I laid out for you, like your older sister Shui Bing'er, was the path of ultimate attributes. However, Teacher is a bit disappointed in you. In fact, your talent is not much worse than your sister's; in some aspects, your mischievous Comprehension Ability is even better than Bing'er's.
But your mind is not focused, and you have neglected your cultivation, falling far behind your sister. Your Flowing Water Fist is barely proficient, and your Subduing Wave Technique is still unable to freely manipulate even a pool of water, let alone reach the height of controlling rivers and lakes, or transforming the sea into the sky? I'm afraid in another year or two, Xiao Chenyu will easily suppress you, making you the worst Core Disciple in the academy."
"Conversely, among the Named Disciples, Xue Wu's performance is even more outstanding. Her snowflakes can now transform from leaves into flowers, turning into killing weapons."
"Yue'er, I will punish you with seven days of facing the wall in contemplation and writing a self-criticism. Do you have any complaints?"
Ultimate Spirit, for these students, including Bibi Dong, was a new term.
In the current Douluo Continent, the classification of Spirit attributes was still very vague, only knowing the Spirit's level, calling them things like: Trash Spirit, Advanced Spirit, Top-tier Spirit, and so on.
And Ultimate Spirit was a direction of Spirit attribute development explored only after tens of thousands of years of development on the Douluo Continent.
The development path Su Ran planned for Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and Shui Yueer was the ultimate water and ice attributes, setting a precedent for Spirit Master cultivation and also an exploration.
Of course, other Disciples also had their own cultivation characteristics, and if they Cultivated to the Peak, they would not be much worse than ultimate attributes.
Hearing Teacher comment on the students' cultivation achievements, most students received praise from Teacher, only Shui Yueer was severely criticized, receiving the worst evaluation.
Shui Yueer, who was originally using her cleverness to wake up Qian Renxue, instantly lost all her smiles, her eyes darting around, and a sense of grievance welled up. She hadn't expected Teacher to say such things about her.
Especially that last sentence: she… was the worst Core Disciple!
Actually, what Teacher said was already good, because Shui Yueer's spirit power wasn't much higher than other Named Disciples. She just had slightly better innate talent, but this girl was the most infatuated, even more so than Senior Sister Ning Rongrong. Every day she only thought about how Teacher was doing, and she wasn't as serious about cultivation as other classmates.
Let alone Core Disciples, she might not even be able to compare with Named Disciples.
This was also the reason why Su Ran risked undermining the students' self-confidence to criticize her in public.
Deep love, stern discipline.
"Disciple… Disciple has no complaints." Shui Yueer spoke with a slight whimper, but she tried her best to control herself.
