Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

It seems I had too high expectations of them.

"If you lose, you have to accept the punishment."

Gu Shenge looked at the elite class girls lying haphazardly on the grass, clutching their injured arms or abdomens, their soft groans of pain echoing in the small villa. Their disheveled appearance, devoid of their previous elegance and poise, made them look as if they had just been ravaged.

In less than three minutes, they were defeated by their own projections, and in the end, they didn't even defeat a single projection. It was truly pathetic.

Although it was their first time, they didn't expect to lose so quickly. Gu Shenge said that she had overestimated their fighting strength and teamwork.

"Get up, all of you! You've disappointed me greatly!"

However, the punishment that is due still needs to be given. Gu Shenge's voice gradually turned cold, and her tone carried a hint of anger.

How could he not be furious with such a terrible performance?

Not only did they fail to defeat a single projection, but they also lost the initiative at the very beginning, which was fatal enough.

In team fights, the most important thing is to take the initiative. If you can't gain an advantage in the first place, it will only make it difficult to control the situation later on.

This is still fighting against one's own projection. Although the projection has the same cultivation level and soul skills as the user, it is easier to deal with.

You knew all of the opponent's cards and still lost so badly, you're a bunch of useless trash!

How could Gu Shenge not be angry?

Hearing the hidden anger in Gu Shenge's tone, the girls in the elite class all stood up, their pretty faces full of tension, their spirits instantly tightening, and a trace of fear rising in their hearts.

They knew they had performed poorly and were completely overwhelmed, with no power to resist.

Looking at Gu Shenge's angry face, Shui Yue'er thought of the punishment that was about to be imposed on her, and in a moment of panic, she spoke up to defend herself:

"Teacher, we weren't prepared just now, please give us another chance, we~"

It’s over.

Hearing Shuiyue'er's anxious explanation, the other girls knew something was wrong and their faces showed fear; things had gone awry.

Failure is failure; making excuses will only upset the teacher.

As expected, Gu Shenge's eyes turned cold, a terrifying killing intent soared into the sky, blood-red shrouded the sky, the air temperature dropped instantly, a layer of frost condensed on the ground, and a storm suddenly broke out!

It was as if the dead of winter had arrived, the cold was biting, and snowflakes fell, sharp as ice, cutting open the snow-white skin of the elite girls, causing blood to seep out.

A terrifying pressure erupted, directly suppressing Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu to their knees. The powerful pressure caused them unbearable pain, their pretty faces filled with agony, as if they were about to be crushed into a pulp.

Gu Shengge's Thunder Prison Whip, crackling with dark purple lightning, appeared in his hand. His eyes were cold as he looked at the elite class girls kneeling on the ground.

They all need to be severely punished.

(I typed too fast and entered the wrong chapter number. This should be chapter 130, hahaha.)

Chapters 131-129: Gu Shenge's Angry Outburst

Gu Shenge lightly swung the Thunder Prison Whip, its destructive aura swirling around it. Dark purple lightning crackled and popped, and a faint smell of burning filled the air, causing the group of elite class girls to show fear.

Seeing the elite class girls kneeling on the ground, Gu Shenge raised the long whip in her hand and, without the slightest hesitation, lashed it at them.

Despite the seemingly heavy blow, Gu Shenge did not actually use any force.

"Snapped!!"

The Thunder Whip struck first, landing on Shui Bing'er's arm and leaving a bright red welt that stood out starkly against her snow-white skin.

At the same time, a strand of dark purple lightning separated from the whip and entered Shui Bing'er's body, wandering and wreaking havoc within her. An indescribable pain assaulted Shui Bing'er's brain.

"what!!!!"

Instantly, Shui Bing'er's pretty face contorted in intense pain, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and her pink lips parted slightly as she let out a heart-wrenching wail of agony.

Hearing Shui Bing'er's painful cries, Xue Wu, Shen Liuyu, and Qiu Ruoshui were all trembling with fear, looking at the Thunder Whip in Gu Sheng's hand with dread.

Fortunately, Shui Bing'er had a strong will. She only cried out once, and although the waves of stinging and tearing pain in her body were painful, she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Seeing that Shui Bing'er only called out once and then held back, Gu Shenge's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, and she immediately reminded her.

"Endure the pain and use the Ninth Grade Body Tempering Technique to refine that trace of lightning within your body."

The waves of physical pain assaulted Shui Bing'er's brain, causing her immense suffering.

Upon hearing her teacher's reminder, she immediately began practicing the first eighteen postures of the Ninth-Rank Body Tempering Technique, assuming various peculiar poses to try and refine the wisp of lightning within her body.

As expected, with the help of the Eighteen Body Tempering Postures, the wisp of lightning in Shui Bing'er's body was gradually refined, and it wasn't so painful anymore; she only felt a tingling sensation.

Gu Shenge used her mental energy to cover Shui Bing'er's body and carefully observed the changes within her.

His purpose was not only to punish the girls in the elite class, but also to strengthen their physique through lightning tempering.

With the help of lightning, Shui Bing'er's body was strengthened to some extent, and even her internal meridians expanded slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Shenge raised her hand and lifted the Thunder Prison Whip. Under the terrified gazes of the girls, she gently lashed their jade arms. Except for Shui Yue'er, each girl received a whip, and the five consecutive lashes were crisp and loud, quite pleasant to the ear.

The Thunder Whip struck them, but it didn't hurt. However, the lightning on the whip caused them unbearable pain, and their cries of agony echoed through the air above the small villa.

The excruciating pain of the lightning raging within their bodies assaulted their brains, causing their pretty faces to contort in agony, their eyes rolling back in their heads. Several with weaker wills didn't even have time to practice the first eighteen postures of body tempering like Shui Bing'er did before they fainted from the pain, their graceful bodies trembling and convulsing as they lay on the ground.

Seeing Ning Rongrong, Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, and Gu Qingbo fall into a coma due to unbearable pain, Gu Shenge sighed and shook her head. Their willpower was too weak.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling, and Xue Wu all began practicing the first eighteen postures of body tempering to refine the rampant lightning within their bodies.

He turned to look at Shui Yue'er, his disappointment undisguised.

Among the elite class, Shui Yue'er reached the Soul Venerable level at the age of fourteen. Her talent can only be considered average, but her temperament is the worst.

If you fail, you should be punished; making excuses will only make you look incompetent.

Raising the Thunder Whip high, Gu Shenge, unlike her gentleness towards other students, suddenly swung it, striking Shui Yue'er's back hard, leaving a bright red welt. The dual pain, both physical and internal, caused Shui Yue'er to scream in agony. Tears streamed down her face, her pretty face contorted in pain, her eyes rolled back, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she pleaded with Gu Shenge in a shrill voice.

"Ahhh!! Teacher, I was wrong, I won't make excuses next time!!"

Seeing Shui Yue'er pleading in pain, Gu Shenge remained unmoved until she fainted. Her delicate body continued to twitch unconsciously, her brows furrowed, and her expression pained.

Meanwhile, the other students with strong willpower had already refined the trace of lightning within their bodies, resulting in some physical enhancement.

Two hours later

Shui Yue'er and Qiu Ruoshui barely woke up and struggled to get up from the ground.

They looked at Gu Shenge with fear, terrified. They hadn't expected their teacher to be so frightening when she got angry, whipping them with a whip. It was too scary.

Shuiyue'er, in particular, was still trembling and even unwilling to look at Gu Shengge.

Gu Shenge looked at their fearful expressions, her face indifferent, and said coldly:

"Remember the pain of today. If you fail, you must accept the punishment. Every time you fail, I will punish you, and each time it will be more painful than the last."

Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er and the others' pretty faces were filled with fear. They nodded tremblingly, not daring to look at Gu Shengge. Their voices trembled and were soft, filled with barely concealed fear.

"Understood, Teacher Gu!"

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone can go home now. Think about why you failed today, summarize it, and write a report. There's no word limit. Submit it to me tonight."

Gu Shenge looked at Shui Yue'er and the others who were afraid of her and nodded slightly. At the same time, she assigned them a task: to summarize why she failed, since so many people couldn't even defeat a single projection.

Then Gu Shenge's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

As soon as he left, Shuiyue'er, Yu Hairou, and the others collapsed onto the grass, their faces showing signs of relief, their delicate bodies trembling slightly, and their beautiful eyes revealing fear.

It was terrifying. Gu Shenge's punishment was etched into their hearts and souls.

"Sister, I was wrong. I won't make excuses again!"

Shui Yue'er threw herself into Shui Bing'er's arms, sobbing softly, terrified. Shui Bing'er stroked Shui Yue'er, comforting her.

The other girls who successfully passed Gu Shenge's punishment fell into deep thought, pondering why they had failed so miserably and so quickly.

The projections were just as strong as the original bodies, with no difference in cultivation level or soul skills.

Hu Liena glanced at Shui Bing'er, recalling how perfectly coordinated their projections had been when facing the projections before, using dual control soul skills to completely control them all.

The group weakens their abilities, freezes them to restrict their movements, and the other projections attack simultaneously to defeat them.

The seamless coordination between the projectors completely outclassed them.

And that's precisely where they went wrong.

Although they understand their own projection, they do not understand their companions, and therefore do not understand their companions' projections, which is why they are caught off guard.

Hu Liena told Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling about her idea, and they nodded in agreement, realizing they had the same thought.

Hu Liena said with a smile, "It seems we need to get to know each other better."

Then she looked at Shui Bing'er, who was comforting Shui Yue'er, and walked towards her, wanting to understand her and all the students in the elite class about their soul skills and hidden abilities.

They absolutely cannot lose the next projection battle!

(Five-hit lightning strike!)

Chapters 132-131: Punishing Elite Class Students with Whips

That evening, Gu Shenge received a summary from the elite class students, led by Hu Liena, who had all identified the problems, which finally gave him some satisfaction.

It's good that you can identify your own problems.

Gu Shenge also modified the original evening training course on the Taiyin Refining Spirit Technique.

Now that we've identified our own problems, we might as well strike while the iron is hot and learn how to deal with them in the process.

However, this time Gu Shenge did not choose to let all the elite class students participate.

The lack of rapport among the elite students needed time to gel, so he asked Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling to step back and become spectators.

This time, the target of the projection battle is the Tianshui Girls' Team. Shui Bing'er and her six friends are the candidates from Tianshui Academy to participate in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition. The tacit understanding between the seven of them is something that Hu Liena and her group cannot match.

Secondly, I wanted Hu Liena and the others to see clearly Shui Bing'er and her fighting style and soul skills.

On the shore of Qinglan Lake, Gu Shenge once again used the Necromancer's Mirror to summon the projection of the Tianshui Girls' Group, with Hu Liena and the others standing beside her watching.
