Chapter 280 - 280 : Little Koi's Birth, Journey to Sea God Island

Half a year had passed, and it was almost time for Teacher Dong to give birth.

As a baby's cry echoed through the Peach Garden, all the Peach blossoms in the academy danced in the wind, and a delicate baby, covered in blood, was born.

The baby's skin was exquisite, accompanied by a Peach blossom phenomenon, unlike ordinary children whose skin is wrinkled like that of a small old man at birth.

Su Ran had long prepared nourishing blood-activating, body-warming meals and medicinal baths to cleanse Bibi Dong and the child.

With the infant in his arms, Su Ran, who was usually relaxed and composed, felt a bit flustered. He never thought he would be a father. He stood rooted to the spot, unable to regain his senses, until his Disciple Dugu Yan reminded him from afar:

"Teacher, is it a Junior Brother or a Junior Sister?"

She Cultivated the Calamity Poison Art, and though she could control her toxins, she didn't want the child to be afflicted with misfortune, so she suppressed her curiosity and stood far away.

Teacher Su Ran then suddenly came back to his senses, "It's a girl."

"A girl is good! Little Junior Sister will surely grow up to be as beautiful as Teacher, an unparalleled beauty. I wonder how many men she'll captivate then."

"Teacher, what's Little Junior Sister's name?"

"Koi, let's call her Su Jinli (Su Koi)."

"I hope her birth represents luck, and that she always remains lucky, optimistic, and happy in the face of all things."

Su Ran looked at the child in his arms. The child's eyes were half-closed, still unable to open, but as if sensing his presence, her small hands gently wiggled, and she stopped crying.

Yes, her arrival was not a terrible accident; she was Teacher's lucky star.

"Little Koi ~"

"Our Little Junior Sister has a name! It's Koi, she's our lucky star!"

"Little one, you are indeed very lucky. This is the birth gift from your Senior Sister. It's a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School credit card that can be renewed with a million gold coins annually."

"Little Junior Sister, you're so cute! This is the spirit tool pendant — Star of Luck — that Third Senior Sister just crafted. Not only does it have storage space, but if you encounter any minor dangers, it can also 'turn ill fortune into good luck'~"

All the Disciples of the academy had prepared gifts for this newborn Little Junior Sister, and they had prepared two sets; if it had been a Junior Brother, they would have given the other set.

They also planted a Lucky Star tree for Little Koi in the peach forest to accompany her growth. It was a miraculous tree that would grow full branches of lucky stars when it matured, a new tree species cultivated by the academy's research star — Meng Yiran — with Teacher's help. Its evaluation score was said to be as high as a sub-immortal grade.

...

Since the battle in Spirit City, Demon Subduing Douluo had also become a regular at Peach Garden Academy.

To repay him for his timely warning, Su Ran taught him a set of staff techniques called the Wulang Bagua Staff.

As a native of the Douluo Continent, Demon Subduing Douluo had never learned such exquisite staff techniques. He became engrossed in it, no longer caring much about the Offering Hall, and would frequently come to the academy to seek Su Ran's guidance. Within a few months, he had achieved Minor Achievement.

Back in the Offering Hall, his brother Thousand Jun Douluo and Light Plume Douluo were very concerned about Demon Subduing Douluo's situation at Peach Garden Academy. The performance of this Peach Garden Teacher had made them look at him with new eyes.

Demon Subduing Douluo sparred with Thousand Jun Douluo with staffs. Normally, he would be slightly suppressed by Thousand Jun Douluo. Yet, in just a few months, and only having achieved Minor Achievement, his Wulang Bagua Staff was able to suppress Thousand Jun Douluo's Thousand Jun Staff Technique, leaving him with power but nowhere to use it.

This was truly an eye-opener for these Super Douluo who resided in the Offering Hall. No wonder Su Ran had the confidence to challenge the High Priest.

Even a Super Douluo could learn from him, which was extremely rare and indicated he was no ordinary person.

Coupled with his peerless handsome face, they couldn't help but secretly harbor intentions to befriend him.

Seeing that several old fellows in the hall were so interested in Peach Garden Academy, and that a single staff technique had stirred them up, Qian Daoliu stood at the top of the Offering Hall, looking at the ruins of Spirit City which were still being repaired, his expression complex:

Could it be that he was too conservative and rigid?

Angel God, guide your believers forward.

...

Su Ran poured his sense of responsibility as a teacher into raising his child, constantly reminding Bibi Dong to pay attention to her diet or asking the System for parenting manuals, fearing he wouldn't take good care of Little Koi.

Only after settling Bibi Dong and Little Koi did Su Ran confidently throw himself into the academy's God Awakening Plan.

In the past six months, the Disciples involved in the Sea God Island training had not disappointed Su Ran, their spirit power Ranks had all risen to the Bottleneck position, close to Rank fifty and Rank sixty.

They gathered in front of the academy hall. The main Disciples included: Shui Bing'er, Shui Yueer, Xue Wu, and the other seven students from the former Tianshui Academy, as well as two Senior Sisters — Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran.

A total of nine Disciples would travel together.

He checked on the other Disciples' situations in the academy and arranged their upcoming Cultivation plans:

Wang Sheng, make steady progress without arrogance or impatience. When you Break through to Rank sixty, hunt for a sixth spirit ring, choosing a powerful, king-like Spirit Beast to enhance your offensive Spirit Abilities.

Xiao Chenyu, commendable. Implant Heaven Profound Steel Claws into your finger bones to add powerful damage to your Hungry Wolf Fist.

Yao Zi, the academy's fire-elemental damage dealer. The Vermilion Bird Whip Technique is elusive and its power needs to be strengthened. When you Break through to Rank sixty, you must seek a powerful fire-elemental Spirit Beast.

Mu Yunzhu, the academy's sword-type Prodigy. For your sixth Spirit Ability, seek a shadow-splitting type Spirit Beast to enhance your ability and characteristics of fighting multiple enemies.

Mu Yunteng, a plant-type control and damage-dealing Prodigy. For your sixth Spirit Ability, you can try adding attributes to your Green Vine Spirit...

Afterward, Su Ran led the nine Disciples on horseback, galloping westward.

Watching his Teacher ride away on horseback, his sleeves fluttering, 'Horse Groom' Wang Sheng sighed with endless emotion.

The last time Teacher rode a horse was when he took Senior Sister Rongrong and Junior Sister Zhuqing to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings. In the blink of an eye, six or seven years had passed, those were their lost youth.

Peach Garden Academy was a considerable distance from the Western Sea. After a journey filled with dust and fatigue, the Peach Garden teachers and students finally arrived at Vast Sea City, the largest city on the western frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Before even reaching the city gate of Vast Sea City, Shui Yueer keenly smelled the sea. "It's a salty scent, we've arrived!"

Looking at the thick city walls before them, with the entire Vast Sea City built against the mountains, Su Ran smiled faintly and said to the nine Disciples behind him:

"Yanzi and Meng Yiran probably don't have much sailing experience yet. We'll rest in Vast Sea City for the next two days. You girls who are familiar with sea navigation and water environments can help your two Senior Sisters prepare well."

"Teacher, you're looking down on Yanzi and me a bit too much, aren't you? Although we don't have sailing experience, we are at least Spirit Kings, and I've already prepared."

Meng Yiran took out two bags of pills from her spirit tool and distributed them to the other Junior Sisters;

"Ta-da! These are Breath-Holding Pills I developed based on Teacher's prescription. With these, we can move like fish in water and hold our breath for up to an hour!"

Upon receiving the pills, Qiu Ruoshui, Shui Yueer, and a few other students couldn't help but chuckle: "Thank you, Senior Sister Meng Yiran."

Meng Yiran, seeing their laughter, was a bit displeased: "What are you laughing at?"

"My Senior Sister Meng Yiran, we have water-type Spirits. The ocean is our domain; we are naturally like fish in water and can survive in it for a long time," Shui Yueer said with a touch of pride.

"Alright, Little Yue'er, your Senior Sister Meng Yiran meant well."

Su Ran said faintly, slowly walking towards Vast Sea City.

Inside Vast Sea City, a gentle middle-aged man had long been waiting. Upon seeing Su Ran's extraordinary figure, followed by nine beautiful, varied young women in their prime, it was hard not to attract attention. He quickly stepped forward to greet them:

"Dean Su, I, Ning, have been waiting for a long time."
