Chapter 50 10th on the Soul Beast Potential Ranking:
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King! The moment he entered the Dean's office, Xue Beng tried his best to remain calm, but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner tension.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully: "Xue Beng, the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, along with his younger sister Xue Ke, pays respects to Dean Zhang Yi! By order of my father, I have come to present the Empire's congratulatory gifts and sincerity!"
He handed over a gift list several times thicker than that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, listing rare metals treasured from the Empire's treasury, fragments of soul tool cores, and nearly extinct thousand-year-old spiritual plants from the Royal Herb Garden.
Zhang Yi accepted the gift list, but his gaze lingered with interest on the meek and submissive Princess Xue Ke. A barely perceptible smile played on his lips:
"His Highness the Fourth Prince has come in person, bringing the Princess with him. This 'sincerity' is quite unique."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xue Beng's face, but he forced a smile and said, "Dean, my sister and I both admire the academy and humbly request that you grant us the opportunity to take the assessment."
"Especially my younger sister, Xue Ke, who is gentle and kind, and has considerable talent..."
He began to try to promote his own sister.
Zhang Yi remained noncommittal, simply interrupting him calmly: "I have accepted the gift list, and I am aware of the Empire's intentions. As for the prince and princess, they will both participate in the assessment. However, I must remind you that the academy's assessment only considers talent and character, not background."
He said this not only to Xue Beng but also to everyone present.
Xue Beng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly agreed, leading the shy Xue Ke to the side.
Then, the second group to enter were people from the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Offerings. The atmosphere instantly became somewhat subtle as the two groups entered at the same time.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue stepped forward, his posture quite humble, his smile even carrying a hint of obsequiousness:
"Your Holiness the Pope's left and right protectors, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with Saintess Hu Liena and the Golden Generation Xie Yue and Yan, pay their respects to Dean Zhang Yi."
He presented soul bones and rare metals, but his eyes kept glancing at Zhang Yi's reaction: "This is a small gift, a token of respect, to congratulate the academy's teachers and students on their ascent to the Heavenly Ranking!"
Zhang Yi looked at the three soul bones that shimmered with light and nodded:
"Your Holiness the Pope is too kind. I have also heard of the geniuses of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation."
His gaze swept over Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, especially lingering on Hu Liena for a moment, "Since you are here, let's participate in the assessment together. As long as you pass, you can naturally join our academy."
Almost simultaneously, Qian Renxue's clear and cold voice rang out: "Qian Renxue of the Hall of Offerings, along with Protectors She Long and Ci Xue, pay their respects to Dean."
"I have come on the orders of the High Priest to offer my congratulations and present a small token of my appreciation from the Hall of Offerings." The
"Angelic Feathers" she presented radiated a pure aura of light, while the scroll of "Divine Grace Contract" exuded an ancient and mysterious aura.
Zhang Yi looked at Qian Renxue, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He seemed somewhat surprised that she was willing to personally lead the team here. In his view, the Hall of Offerings possessed a complete angelic lineage, and there was no need for her to join any academy for further study. Moreover, Qian Renxue was a bit too old and was no longer suitable for school.
But since she had come and brought a gift, Zhang Yi naturally accepted it without hesitation.
"Miss Qian Renxue, as expected, you are just like those on the Heavenly Ranking, with extraordinary talent and outstanding appearance."
Zhang Yi accepted the gift, his tone carrying a subtle hint of inquiry. "The Hall of Offerings' willingness to allow a successor of the divine position to join the Collapse Academy is rather unexpected. Since you have come all this way, you should also prepare for the assessment."
Qian Renxue bowed gracefully and stepped aside, clearly separating herself from Hu Liena and the others.
Following closely behind, Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and representatives from the Clear Sky Sect entered one after another, presenting lavish gifts and speaking earnestly, all in an effort to secure a few spots. Zhang Yi handled them with ease, accepting all the gifts without hesitation, maintaining a gentle distance yet undeniably assertive attitude.
He was like a master shrewd merchant, holding a rare commodity, sitting firmly in his command tent, unmoved by any storms, waiting for the fish to bite, and then carefully selecting them.
After meeting all the representatives of the important forces, Zhang Yi instructed Rita:
"Spread the word, make sure these distinguished guests are settled. Our academy will conduct a unified enrollment assessment in the academy square after the Soul Beast Potential Ranking is completed."
"Furthermore, the warehouse expansion plan will be launched immediately, using the Void Treasury to create three more layers of auxiliary space."
"Yes, Dean."
Rita bowed gracefully, her eyes filled with admiration for the Dean's methods.
In just half a day, the "sponsorship" the academy received was probably more terrifying than the combined tax revenue of many empires over ten years.
After leaving the office, the representatives of various forces were all filled with trepidation.
This Dean Zhang Yi, though young, was unfathomable, his attitude ambiguous. Obtaining a substantial promise from him would be extremely difficult.
The future entrance examination would be crucial!
Just as Zhang Yi and the various forces were still wavering over joining the Honkai Academy—the next day, at noon, under the blazing sun, the sky suddenly darkened!
The golden scroll that had always hung in the sky, radiating a faint pressure, reappeared and unfurled without warning, bursting forth with golden divine light that had never dimmed in the slightest!
In an instant, the light shone brightly, illuminating the earth, even briefly obscuring the sun's brilliance.
At this moment, both the hustle and bustle of human cities and the howls of the Soul Beast Forest eerily fell silent.
All living beings, regardless of strength, instinctively raised their heads, gazing in awe at the golden scroll that seemed to be the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.
The vast voice of the Heavenly Dao resonated clearly deep within the minds of every being:
[The Soul Beast Potential Ranking is officially launched!]
[Based on bloodline, talent, growth potential, and affinity with the laws of heaven and earth, their future potential is comprehensively assessed!]
As the voice faded, enormous golden ancient characters on the scroll flowed and condensed slowly like gilding, finally transforming into crystal-clear text, imprinted in the sky and in the hearts of all who watched:
[Soul Beast Potential Ranking, 10th Place – Deep Sea Demon Whale King]
[Race]: Deep Sea Demon Whale (Beast King Level)
[Bloodline]: Branch of Sea God Dragon Bloodline (Extremely Rare)
[Cultivation]: Nearly a Million Years (Reached the Limits of Mortal Realm, Deeply Accumulated)
[Potential Assessment]: ★★★★☆
[Talent Domain]: Demon Whale Domain (Control of Water Areas, Energy Absorption)
[Core Abilities]: Controls vast water elements and raging lightning power; its body is nearly immortal, and its energy reserves are unfathomable. Its single eye has already glimpsed divinity; if it can overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and condense a divine spark, it is expected to transform into a sea dragon and wield some of the power over the ocean.
[Reason for Ranking]: Reigning supreme in the endless deep sea, relying on its mutated bloodline and unwavering will, it forcefully broke through the shackles of its race, reaching the pinnacle of mortal soul beasts. Its assault and accumulation towards the divine realm endowed it with potential surpassing ordinary ferocious beasts.
[Potential Ranking Rewards]:
1. Bloodline Essence Pill: After consumption, it can temper and purify the bloodline within the body, with a certain probability of activating a deeper level of the Sea God Dragon bloodline, improving the quality and concentration of the bloodline.
2. Origin of Water: Provides the purest primordial energy of heaven and earth, which can be absorbed without hindrance, used to solidify the foundation, repair hidden injuries, or accelerate the breakthrough to the million-year bottleneck.
3. Innate Divine Ability Enhancement - [Thunderous Tide]: Enhances its fusion and control of the power of thunder and the ocean, allowing it to trigger the simultaneous eruption of heavenly thunder and deep-sea undercurrents within its domain, multiplying its power.
