"My enlightenment today is largely thanks to you. This can be considered a fated encounter."
"If you are sincere in taking me as your master, you will be my fourteenth disciple from now on. However, I must state upfront that even if you are the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall and bear the Seraphim's legacy, you must adhere to Peach Garden Academy's rules, follow the campus schedule, refrain from wantonly killing the innocent, and avoid evil deeds… Can you do it?"
"Yes!"
There was no hesitation on Qian Renxue's exquisite face; she nodded without a second thought.
Su Ran glanced at Qian Renxue, and a peach blossom token landed before her:
"After the Competition, handle your own affairs, then report to Peach Garden Academy."
"Understood, Teacher!"
Qian Renxue finally reluctantly released Su Ran's hand, performed the discipleship kowtow to Su Ran, and then grasped the peach blossom token floating before her.
Is this Teacher's disciple token?
However, when Qian Renxue recovered and carefully pondered Su Ran's words, she suddenly froze in realization, her eyes filled with astonishment:
Teacher… knew her identity all along…
Teacher knew she was the chosen successor of the Angel God? Then, did Teacher also know about her infiltration of the Tian Dou Royal Family?!
Good heavens!

[Ding—]
[Accepted Angel Holy Maiden Qian Renxue as a disciple. Disciple's aptitude has reached a new high. Reward: spirit power increased by 0.2 levels, all spirit ring and Spirit Bone age limits increased by 10%, gained 3 opportunities to draw advanced Light and Sacred ultimate skills, and received one Seraphim exclusive ultimate skill…]
The system panel rewards appeared in his mind. As Su Ran's realm increased, the spirit power level increase from merely accepting disciples became less significant. However, this did not mean the spirit power increase was small; after all, he was already at ninety-fourth level. A 0.2 level increase was the result of how many years of cultivation for an ordinary Titled Douluo?
The 10% increase in spirit ring and Spirit Bone age limits could bring Su Ran's eighth and ninth spirit rings an increase of as much as twenty to thirty thousand years.
Perceiving his current spirit power and Spirit Bone situation, Su Ran felt refreshed. At his current realm, there should be few people on the continent who could suppress him.
Faint sunlight refracted from the white orchid tree, scattering onto his handsome face, as if golden brilliance was shimmering.
But seeing the shifting position of the sun, Su Ran's expression suddenly changed:
"Is it morning now?"
"How long have I been in enlightenment?"
Su Ran asked Qian Renxue.
He remembered that when he followed Gold Crocodile Priest to this garden, it was not morning.
"It should have been two days."
Qian Renxue was so captivated by Teacher's supreme beauty that she became a wet maiden. Hearing Teacher's slightly anxious tone, she thought for a moment. There had been two sunrises and sunsets since Teacher entered enlightenment.
"Two days. If nothing unexpected happened, the quarter-finals should have already finished."
"I wonder if Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong made things difficult for them?"
Su Ran said in a deep voice:
"Xue'er, I've stayed here for too long. I must go back immediately to check on the girls' situation. After the Competition, I will give you specialized teaching."
"Alright, Teacher really cares about his disciples."
Qian Renxue recalled the female students of Peach Garden Academy, who loved to cling to Teacher.
When she was in Heaven Dou City before, she admired these female students from Peach Garden Academy. Now, however, there was an inexplicable hint of sourness in her tone.
Su Ran smiled faintly, saying nothing more.
Just then, a golden-robed Elder walked in from outside the garden, looking at their backs and saying:
"Boy, our Holy Maiden isn't someone anyone can be a teacher to. To have our Holy Maiden as a disciple, you need to pass the test of us old fellows…"
"Also, there's something that should be helpful to you. According to the Elder Palace's intelligence, the Soul Master Competition's quarter-finals already concluded yesterday. The semi-finals will be held at a new venue, the Great Spirit Arena in Spirit City."
Gold Crocodile was quite imposing; he had already communicated with High Priest Qian Daoliu.
As the chosen successor of the Angel God, the Holy Maiden's master could not be chosen carelessly. If Qian Renxue were to have only one master, it would be the Angel God!
"The venue changed? Why would it suddenly change?"
"No."
Su Ran's eyes changed. His figure brushed past Gold Crocodile and sped towards outside the hall.
Gold Crocodile watched the immortal-like young man in white pass by him, his entire being stunned. After a moment of silence, he turned and stared wide-eyed at Qian Renxue:
