"Oh, Dean Sister, you really are something. Why do you have to cause trouble as soon as you arrive?"
"Let her go. Cishuang is just used to being pampered at Tianshui Academy; it's been too long since she's suffered a setback. I also believe in Teacher Su's array."
Cold Moon Han, instead, was in a mood to watch the show from the side.
Teacher Su, he was a peculiar man who dared to threaten the Supreme Pontiff in the Soul Master Competition and taught the seven miraculous Spirit Master disciples of the Peach Garden Team. It was only normal for him to have some tricks up his sleeve.
...
"Spirit Ability: Phoenix Ice Meteor."
Within the peach blossom array, Leng Ci Shuang casually unleashed a Spirit Ability. A giant ice phoenix cried out above her head, summoning a sky full of massive ice stones that crashed down upon the entire peach blossom array before her.
But what Leng Ci Shuang hadn't expected was that the peach trees in this peach blossom array suddenly moved rapidly, their roots intertwining to form an Eight Trigrams array pattern. As the peach trees shifted, her Qimen positions beneath her feet also changed.
[Qimen · Gen Mountain Earth]
A mountain range actually rose from beneath the peach trees, almost completely blocking all of Leng Ci Shuang's ice stones.
The most terrifying thing was that this array not only defended but also attacked:
[Qimen · Earth River Chariot!]
The peach trees shifted again, and the rising mountain range transformed into a terrifying mudslide, instantly pouring down towards Leng Ci Shuang.
Even with Leng Ci Shuang's quick reaction, she couldn't dodge. She could only activate an instant Spirit Ability again:
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Ice Wing Burst Shield!"
The ice phoenix's wings overlapped, shielding Leng Ci Shuang's body within them.
Although she largely evaded the Earth River Chariot's offensive, Xiao Wu also walked out from the Academy at this moment. Seeing Leng Ci Shuang's defensive stance, she said speechlessly,
"Wang Sheng Ge, who is this woman? Why is she taking my training ground?"
"And she has no technical skill at all."
"As soon as she defends, she's fixed in the central palace by the Earth River Chariot. She's in for it."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Shui Yueer and Water Binger both looked a bit confused. Senior Sister's words were so profound.
Xiao Wu: Of course it's profound. Just the names and effects of the techniques, I spent half a month memorizing them with Teacher, wuwuwu~
Xiao Wu said, "This Five Elements Eight Trigrams Array, if you're strong enough, you can of course break it with sheer force. But below ninety levels, almost no one has that ability. You need to grasp the rules and intricacies within, and then use the power of your Spirit to break through its weaknesses to win. But as for how to break it specifically, I still can't break it now; it's too difficult. Probably only Teacher can do it below the Titled Douluo realm."
"But... her current defensive posture reminds me of myself two weeks ago. Soon, three... two, one."
As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, within the peach blossom array, the mudslide covering Leng Ci Shuang suddenly steamed, turning red, like magma, forming chunks of fiery stones that instantly exploded, leaving her in a very sorry state:
[Qimen · Fire Rock Burst!]
[Qimen · Thunder Severing Heaven!]
[Qimen · Ice Bloom!]
This peach blossom array was unpredictable. Once it found an opportunity, its attacks came one after another. Although no move was fatal, each move was immensely powerful, catching Leng Ci Shuang, who had never played against such an array, off guard.
For the rest of the time, Leng Ci Shuang was basically at a disadvantage. Not understanding the principles of Eight Trigrams mutual generation and restraint, nor the scope of Qimen, it was purely an intelligence suppression.
It wasn't until the peach blossom array retracted and the training time was over that Leng Ci Shuang walked out of the peach blossom array in a disheveled state, not forgetting to secretly kick a peach tree fiercely and cast a resentful glance at Wang Sheng.
What kind of broken array is this? Who can break it?!
"Now you believe it, right? I told you my Teacher wouldn't boast."
Wang Sheng defended his Teacher, but this sentence undoubtedly stabbed Leng Ci Shuang in the heart, shattering her arrogance.
"Dean Sister, forget it. This is an array set up by Teacher after all. It's normal to not be able to defeat it..."
"You two girls, speak less."
Leng Ci Shuang looked at Wang Sheng, her attitude much improved:
"Student Wang, is there a place where I can clean up?"
Leng Ci Shuang's white dress was now either scorched with holes or covered in mud, her face a mess, and her hands dirty. She indeed needed to clean up.
Wang Sheng nodded and then led them into the main campus:
"Two Senior Sisters, Dean Leng, please follow me."
"Dean Leng, there's clean water here for you to wash up. If you need to change, you can go to the private room here."
"Senior Sister Bing'er, Senior Sister Yue'er, you are both students who have received Teacher's peach blossom token, true disciples of the Academy. In the future, you can live next to the school district. Ahead are the rooms of Senior Sister Rongrong and the other five Senior Sisters, to the left are the rooms of Senior Sister Yao Zi, Senior Sister Mu Yunteng, and Senior Sister Mu Yunzhu, and these two rooms on the right are prepared for the two of you. You can move in anytime."
As the Academy's admissions ambassador, Wang Sheng introduced the basic situation of the Academy to Water Binger and Shui Yueer.
Meanwhile, Leng Ci Shuang had also briefly washed herself and taken out a new dress from her portable spirit tool. Her face was very gloomy.
Just then, she saw Su Ran walking out from inside the school building. He seemed to have already learned the situation from Xiao Wu and the others, and he smiled faintly:
"I didn't expect the Dean of Tianshui Academy to come in person. My apologies for the inadequate hospitality, causing an unpleasant incident as soon as you arrived."
That exquisitely handsome face entered her sight, and the beautiful Dean of Tianshui Academy was stunned for a moment. She quickly clanged, returning to the private room, but after a few more minutes, the door opened again.
Leng Ci Shuang had changed into an ice and snow phoenix robe and styled her hair into an extremely beautiful hairstyle. Her eyes rippled as she said softly,
"No, no, you exaggerate. I am very happy right now."
"Are you Teacher Su who is taking my two younger sisters as disciples? That's wonderful! What do you think of me? Can I also stay in Peach Garden Academy?"
Cold Moon Han: Huh???
Water Binger, Shui Yueer: What does this mean?!
