Chapter 293 - 293 : Disciples show their magical powers and reach the Sea God Island

"Although you are only a Named Disciple and not a formal member of the Academy, you must still abide by the school's rules and principles. From now on, you must not indiscriminately kill the innocent, nor should you commit evil deeds. Instead, you must punish evil and promote good. Once you wear this school emblem, it is both my recognition of you and a tool for disciplining Disciples. Do you understand?"

A Peach blossom badge landed in Zi Zhenzhu's hand, accompanied by Teacher Su's earnest teachings.

Zi Zhenzhu placed the Peach blossom badge on her prominent, swaying chest and kowtowed to Teacher Su, acknowledging him as her master:

"This Disciple obeys!"

"Good, your Spirit is a sea snake, and its venom is potent. It has some similarities with Yaner's Spirit, though one is a land venomous snake and the other is a sea venomous snake. Yaner studies the Calamity Poison Art, so I will later teach you the Body Refining art of absorbing and guiding poison from the sea."

[Ding~]

[Successfully accepted the sea beauty Zi Zhenzhu as a Named Disciple. Reward to Host: All spirit ring and Spirit Bone age limit increased by 5%, spirit power increased, and Sea Spirit Beast Cultivation Essence Milk * 3.]

At the same time, the System's rewards were issued. For the current Su Ran, the improvements brought by the Disciple rewards were not significant, but they were still a nice bonus.

Moreover, Zi Zhenzhu's talent was actually very high, and her initial ambition was also higher than Su Ran's other Disciples. At least when the other Academy Disciples became his Disciples, they hadn't yet established themselves.

But Zi Zhenzhu had already established herself before the age of twenty-seven. And a sixty-eighth-level Spirit Emperor at twenty-seven years old, this progress would rank high even in Peach Garden Academy. Her future achievements would at least be a Spirit Douluo. With Teacher Su's guidance, that height could easily be elevated to the Titled Douluo level!

"Land venomous snake?"

Zi Zhenzhu glanced at Dugu Yan. No wonder she felt a sense of resonance with this woman at first sight.

"What? You don't believe it?"

"Mani, Mara, activate, set sail. First, take the girls to the vicinity of Sea God Island, then we'll return."

Su Ran calmly instructed the Mani sisters in the cockpit. Mani had been peeking at Su Ran from the window, her sea abalone gushing water, her legs trembling. Hearing Su Ran's words, she quickly sat back in the co-pilot's seat:

"Sister, my husband… ah, no, Teacher Su told us to set off for Sea God Island!"

Rumble~

The Peach Garden started, sailing towards Sea God Island.

At the same time, Su Ran turned to look at Zi Zhenzhu:

"If you don't believe it, you can try with your sea snake venom."

"Yanzi, come here."

Su Ran waved to Dugu Yan, who obediently walked in front of Zi Zhenzhu and scrutinized her.

Zi Zhenzhu had just become a Disciple; how would she dare to poison her Senior Sister?

"Teacher, it's not that I don't believe it, but if I release this sea snake cold poison, even I can't cure it. Even a Spirit Master above the Spirit King level would need to be exposed to the scorching sun for two or three days to dissolve it. If Senior Sister can't endure it, I'm afraid it might delay her trip to Sea God Island for the assessment."

Zi Zhenzhu explained.

Dugu Yan extended her fair wrist, which still had two parallel small scabs on it, and said faintly:

"Come on. The more potent your poison, the happier I'll be. If you can poison me, it proves that Teacher made an incredibly correct choice in taking you as a Disciple. Moreover, with Teacher here, I won't be in any danger."

She had refined her Body with the Calamity Poison Art for several years, absorbing the potent venom of the Nine-Section Jade. If she were still afraid of a sixty-something-level Spirit Emperor's sea snake cold poison, then either her refining was too poor, or Teacher's teaching was not good.

"Then I'll try. If Senior Sister feels any discomfort, just say so, and I'll stop immediately."

With Teacher Su Ran's permission, Zi Zhenzhu's body manifested a Sea Viper Spirit, as brilliant as a Zi Zhenzhu. Six spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, flashed. The Sea Viper's sharp fangs directly pierced Dugu Yan's wrist.

Immediately, a cold line appeared on Dugu Yan's fair wrist, spreading out.

But Dugu Yan's expression did not change in the slightest. With a hum, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Empress Spirit appeared, its power causing Zi Zhenzhu's Sea Viper to bow its head in fear, especially the five spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, on the Azure Phosphorus Serpent Empress, which moved Zi Zhenzhu.

The fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring?!

Her spirit rings… it seemed… they must all be extremely poisonous!

This Senior Sister Yan actually used spirit rings to store and refine poison?!

How was this possible!

"Senior Sister Yan, are you alright?"

Dugu Yan slowly closed her eyes. Zi Zhenzhu thought she was in pain and was about to stop, but then she heard Dugu Yan say:

"No, don't stop! Continue, it feels so comfortable. Inject all of it into my body, ah~"

Zi Zhenzhu was greatly alarmed. Her Sea Viper cold poison, which struck fear into countless sea Spirit Masters, not only had no offensive effect on Senior Sister Yan but actually made her feel comfortable?!

Zi Zhenzhu looked at Teacher Su Ran in disbelief. To be honest, her initial intention for boarding the ship was simply because she had witnessed Teacher Su Ran's immense power and peerless appearance as he walked on the waves from the ocean, and on a whim, she came seeking protection.

To put it bluntly, rather than being enslaved by that rough man Tang Hao, she would rather be harshly ravaged by a handsome man like Su Ran, even if her purple abalone turned black, she would be willing.

But now, seeing Senior Sister Yan's poison art, she had a premonition that perhaps her path as a Spirit Master was truly about to undergo a transformation, and she really had a chance to become the Pirate King!

...

One day later.

Perhaps because they were close to Sea God Island, under the clear blue sky, the ocean had become much gentler and calmer.

Zi Zhenzhu's lips were pale. She had thought about offering herself to Teacher Su Ran and being played to exhaustion, even rolling her eyes, but she never imagined that she would be drained by Senior Sister Yan absorbing her cold poison.

In contrast, Senior Sister Yan was full of vigor; not only was she not injured, but her spirit power had even increased.

"Teacher, is that Sea God Island?"

"We're almost there!"

Shui Yueer and Meng Yiran exclaimed, pointing at the huge island standing in the ocean. The entire island seemed to be enveloped in a sea-blue radiance.

"Yes, Sea God Island, we've arrived."

Su Ran stood on the deck, also looking at that sea area:

"Girls, from this moment on, your trials have begun."

"Before you land on Sea God Island, Teacher still wants to remind you that once the Sea God's Trials begin, there is no turning back; you can only move forward. You need to cooperate, to leverage your strengths in cooperation. You are both teammates and competitors. You will receive the Sea God's blessings and rewards, but you may also encounter life-threatening dangers during the trials. Are you ready?"

"Teacher, we are ready!"

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yueer, Dugu Yan, and the other students said resolutely.

"Very good, go. Before you is the patrol area of the Sea God Island's guardian beast—the Devil Spirit Great White Shark. You need to land on your own strength. Teacher wishes you good luck."

"Of course, if you truly encounter an unbearable assessment or danger, you can always call for help through the sound-transmitting conch, but each of you only has one chance. Once you use this chance, it means your Divine Trial has failed… However, don't be afraid, Teacher will always be there."

Su Ran was still a little worried about these girls, so he added this last sentence, which deeply moved them.

Shui Yueer was the first to charge, transforming into a dolphin and leaping towards Sea God Island, nimbly weaving through the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks' bites:

"Teacher, Yue'er will definitely perform well!"

Next, Shui Bing'er landed on the sea surface, and ice layers actually formed under her feet as she gracefully walked towards Sea God Island.

Meng Yiran directly summoned several Spirit Beasts to use as stepping stones, performing Crossing the Yellow Springs to lightly leap forward.

Dugu Yan, Xue Wu, Gu Qingbo, Shen Liuyu, Qiu Ruoshui, Yu Hairou, and other Disciples also displayed their Divine Abilities and successfully landed.

On Sea God Island, without the protection of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San, who had exerted immense effort to escape from the mouths of the Devil Spirit Great White Sharks and land, was somewhat bewildered to see the Taoyuan students rushing from afar and landing gracefully.
