"Teacher, why are you here?"
"Yue'er, that girl, is ignorant of worldly affairs and speaks without thinking. She says whatever comes to mind, so please, Teacher, don't take it to heart."
Outside the small stream behind Peach Garden Academy, Shui Bing'er had been quietly guarding Shui Yueer. Seeing Teacher Su's figure appear silently from among the Peach blossoms, she quickly performed a student's bow and explained to Teacher Su.
Su Ran waved his hand faintly: "What? In your eyes, is Teacher Su such a petty person?"
"No, no, Teacher Su, you know, I didn't mean that. It's just that when Yue'er, that girl, is sad or angry, she says harsh words to vent, but those aren't her true feelings..."
Shui Bing'er explained for Shui Yueer. Although there was some distance between them, Shui Bing'er knew that with Teacher Su's Divine Ability, he must have heard what that girl Yue'er was muttering.
"Alright, I understand. That girl, though she usually seems more lively than Xiao Wu, is actually a girl with a great lack of security in her heart."
"I'll go talk to her."
Su Ran glanced at Shui Bing'er. In fact, this girl truly cared about her lively younger sister.
...
As he finished speaking, Su Ran took a few steps forward, his figure landing incredibly gracefully behind the Peach blossom tree. He saw that the Peach blossom tree had been stripped of its bark and flowers by Shui Yueer's Flowing Water Fist.
Su Ran listened to Shui Yueer's solitary complaints and wasn't angry; instead, he found it somewhat amusing. He said faintly:
"Since you dislike Teacher Su so much, why are you still listening to him and reflecting on your mistakes? Why write a self-criticism? You might as well go back to Tianshui Academy."
"With your current strength, you might even be able to apply for an Elementary or even Intermediate Teacher position at Tianshui Academy. Wouldn't that be both free and comfortable?"
Su Ran's words were not false. An Elementary Spirit Master Teacher position primarily teaches new Spirit Masters below level twenty.
With Shui Yueer's spirit power level, which barely exceeded level fifty, she could entirely serve as a teacher in other academies.
"Exactly! When I go back to Tianshui Academy, Teacher Su will lose a beautiful, lively, and pretty student. Let Teacher Su regret it! Let him regret not cherishing me, hmph!"
Hearing this, Shui Yueer felt as if she had found a kindred Spirit. Imagining the scene where Teacher Su would regret it and beg her to come back to study, her heart instantly felt better.
But as she slightly regained her composure and savored the voice, she turned her head and saw an exquisitely beautiful face, so stunning that all things became still and heaven and earth centered around it, looking at her with a faint smile.
Suddenly.
Shui Yueer, with tear stains still on her face and a sobbing voice, choked twice but couldn't cry anymore. Instead, two blushes appeared on her cheeks.
Shui Yueer was too ashamed to lift her head and fiddled with her fingers, saying:
"Teacher Su, I'm not going back to Tianshui. I was just talking nonsense earlier. Please don't drive me away. Yue'er knows she was wrong. Yue'er will definitely reflect properly, study hard in the future, and Cultivate diligently..."
Say what you say, mess around all you want, but when you meet Teacher Su, you still have to be timid.
"Feeling wronged?"
Su Ran glanced at Shui Yueer, knowing that this girl had many grievances in her heart, and his tone softened a bit.
Shui Yueer subconsciously nodded, then quickly shook her head. She was indeed wronged but dared not say it.
"You can say whatever grievances you have. The academy is not a prison to suppress your nature."
"What Teacher Su hopes is that you can put your nature to good use, develop your potential earlier, and thus become true powerhouses sooner. Then, when you encounter difficulties in the future, you will no longer be a burden to your family and friends, but their protectors."
Su Ran said earnestly. For lively, rebellious girls, it might sound preachy, but it was Teacher Su, with his extraordinary demeanor, who was doing the preaching, making it impossible to dislike him.
"I understand what Teacher Su said... but I believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter, everyone will find a way to overcome them."
Shui Yueer wiped her tears and looked at Su Ran pitifully.
Su Ran could only sigh softly:
"Some difficulties, if you don't prepare for them early, perhaps when they happen, it will be too late for you to stop them."
"Even with Teacher Su and Mama Shui, can't you stop it?" Shui Yueer asked, widening her pair of clear blue eyes.
Su Ran shook his head: "I cannot answer that question either, but one thing is clear: existences more powerful than Teacher Su are not isolated cases."
As Su Ran spoke, his gaze turned towards the sky. Although he was already a Super Douluo expert and fearless even against a Peak Douluo, he knew even more clearly that at a higher level, there was a power that suppressed all Titled Douluo.
"Even Teacher Su cannot control it?"
Hearing this, Shui Yueer was somewhat surprised. Suppressing all Titled Douluo—what a niche term.
"I understand. No matter what I face, I will be on the same front as Teacher Su!"
However, the next moment, Shui Yueer became discouraged again:
"But, Teacher Su, the power of my Flowing Water Fist and Subduing Wave Technique is so weak. I can't defeat any of my other Senior Sisters at all."
Although Flowing Water Fist contained the essence of Tai Chi Fist and even had advantages in certain aspects, its flowing softness ultimately meant low lethality. Compared to Senior Sister Bing'er's Frozen Ice Cotton Palm and Heavenly Frost Phoenix, its destructive power was simply not on the same level; it could only be used for assistance.
Perhaps this was also one of the reasons Shui Yueer had somewhat neglected her Cultivation—the gap was too large!
Teacher Su Ran, however, smiled faintly:
"Girl, do you think that when Teacher Su criticizes you, he is very disappointed in you? No, that is not the case. Instead, Teacher Su places great hopes on you.
Although Flowing Water Fist doesn't have much power, when cultivated in conjunction with Subduing Wave Technique, as long as you achieve Major Achievement in your Cultivation, Teacher Su can guarantee that you will not lose to your other Senior Sisters.
Under the nourishment of the academy's flowers and plants, coupled with Cultivation Technique practice, your Spirit will be able to move towards the path of ultimate attributes."
"Ultimate attributes, as the name suggests, are the limits a Spirit Master can reach with a single attribute."
"This Subduing Wave Technique is an ancient secret method. Once the Dharma body reaches Perfection, it can benevolently draw water to irrigate fields, resolve droughts across vast areas, bring green life back to withered swamps, and save the world from great droughts. If evil thoughts arise, it can breach dams and overturn seas, with floods swallowing mountains. In a single thought, it can determine the life and death of a city, or even a nation."
"If you correct your attitude and achieve Major Achievement in your Cultivation, then, do you know how much benefit you can bring to Tianshui City and even this continent? Not only will Teacher Su be proud of you, but the entire academy will also be proud of you."
Oh!
Feeling the expectation in Teacher Su's eyes, Shui Yueer felt as if she had been injected with chicken blood; her whole being became hot-blooded:
So, what I'm learning is actually so powerful, so amazing!
Flowing water is not as bone-piercingly tough as frozen ice, nor as deadly and unseen as potent poison, nor as surprising as Hidden Weapons, but it also has its own irreplaceable uses. She is very important.
Nothing excited Shui Yueer more than Teacher Su's attention and encouragement.
Not only that, at this moment, Teacher Su's figure also moved by the stream:
"Yue'er, since you are so dissatisfied with the power of Flowing Water Fist, then Teacher Su will now impart to you the advanced ultimate technique of Flowing Water Fist—Flowing Water Rock Shatter."
"Remember, although water is gentle, the potential energy contained within a torrent or tsunami is incredibly terrifying. When this flowing water momentum is condensed into a single punch, between a point and a line, that is Flowing Water Rock Shatter."
"Tai Chi Fist, self-contained, focuses on defense, lacking offensive capabilities. However, the emphasis on momentum in flowing water can perfectly compensate for this offensive weakness."
"Flowing Water Rock Shatter, streams gather into a fist, flowing water forms a line, shatter!"
