On the Douluo Continent, whether in bustling cities, remote villages, or even the Star Dou Great Forest where Spirit Beasts reside, all living beings witnessed an incredible spectacle in the sky at the same moment.
A golden heavenly screen, covering the sky and sun, descended like a miracle.
It ignored space and distance, clearly appearing before everyone's eyes.
Immediately after, lines of transparent small characters, formed by sacred golden light, appeared before every living being.
[This heavenly screen is formed by the Douluo Heavenly Dao. The first ranking is the martial soul ranking. The top twenty martial souls in the current World can be on the ranking (each type of martial soul can only be on the ranking once)]
[Judgment criteria: comprehensive evaluation of the martial soul's quality, potential, development level, etc. (priority from high to low)]
[Among them, martial soul quality is divided into: God-tier, Super-tier, Top-tier, High-tier.]
[Development level includes: the level of the martial soul, whether it comes with a Domain, and whether it has self-created Spirit Abilities (self-created relying on the martial soul itself)]
[Those on the ranking will all receive heavenly dao rewards. The rewards will vary based on the ranking. The Heavenly Dao ranking is beyond doubt!]
These lines of text, like a clap of thunder, resounded throughout the entire Douluo Continent!
Countless Spirit Masters were shocked and stirred!
Formed by the Heavenly Dao? martial soul ranking? And heavenly dao rewards?
Canglan Academy.
Lin Yuan lay lazily on a rocking chair, looking at the transparent small characters in front of him, and sighed helplessly in his heart: "Alas, I originally wanted to quietly become a god, but now it seems my demigod cultivation can't be hidden anymore."
This was truly not him boasting.
Just the two Spirit s he possessed could definitely dominate all Spirit s on the Douluo Continent in terms of quality.
"System, this heavenly screen, could it be that you thought my progress to godhood was too slow, so you conjured it?" Lin Yuan silently complained in his heart.
Unfortunately, his system was like a defective product; except for emitting a mechanical electronic sound when he first transmigrated and when distributing rewards, it remained completely silent at other times, extremely aloof.
"Whoosh—"
A fragrant breeze assailed him.
The next second, Xiao Wu, bringing Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan, directly teleported to Lin Yuan's side.
Xiao Wu's big, watery eyes were full of curiosity as she pointed at the sky and asked, "Teacher, do you know what that is? Could it be... the legendary gods?"
Lin Yuan didn't even lift an eyelid, casually replying, "I don't know what it is, but the gods of this World don't have such great power."
Ning Rongrong, beside him, giggled, her face full of anticipation: "Then will we soon find out what your Spirit is, Teacher? You've hidden it for so many years, it really makes me look forward to it."
"Dong!"
Lin Yuan flicked his finger, accurately tapping Ning Rongrong's smooth forehead.
"Ah—"
"Teacher, why did you flick my forehead again? It hurts!" Ning Rongrong covered her head with teary eyes, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "If this ranking is true, then my leisurely life will probably come to an end."
He glanced at his disciples and slowly asked, "Do you remember how you all came to my Canglan Academy in the first place?"
Ning Rongrong and the other girls exchanged glances, seeing a hint of strangeness in each other's eyes, then said in unison: "Emm, you forcibly abducted us, and then forcibly made us your disciples."
Although his disciples so bluntly exposed his past, Lin Yuan showed no trace of embarrassment on his face, which was thicker than a city wall.
"So, do you regret it now?" Lin Yuan said casually, "Once I'm exposed by this heavenly screen, my Canglan Academy will probably be sought out by forces from across the entire continent."
"At that time, I'm afraid a lot of people will come looking."
Xiao Wu was the first to jump out, shaking her head hastily: "I definitely won't regret it! If it weren't for you, Teacher, my Spirit wouldn't have evolved."
"Yes, yes, we don't regret it at all." Ning Rongrong and the other girls also nodded repeatedly.
Ever since they became disciples of Lin Yuan, each of them had gained benefits beyond imagination.
Whether it was Xiao Wu, the first to be 'abducted', or Zhuqing, the last to join, their Spirit s had all undergone a complete transformation and evolution.
Moreover, joining Canglan Academy did not mean complete isolation from the World.
After Lin Yuan's cultivation reached Titled Douluo, they would have a certain amount of vacation each year to visit their relatives.
For example, Fengzhi and Sword DouluoChen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Poison DouluoDugu Bo, all knew the approximate location of Canglan Academy.
But without Lin Yuan's permission, if they trespassed into Canglan territory, they would immediately trigger the Sword ArrayLin Yuan had set up!
And the power of that Sword Array, currently, only Sword DouluoChen Xin had personally experienced.
It wasn't that he wanted to trespass into Canglan Academy, but as a sword fanatic, he yearned to experience Lin Yuan's miraculous Sword Dao.
The result was self-evident: he lost!
And he lost miserably, failing to break through even the first line of defense of the Sword Array, and was awkwardly repelled.
Lin Yuan once left Chen Xin with a message: if he could break through the first line of defense of the Sword Array and comprehend a trace of Sword Intent within it, then breaking through to level ninety-seven would be as easy as turning his hand!
Unfortunately, Chen Xin's comprehension was ultimately just a little bit lacking.
Years have passed, and his cultivation still remains at the peak of level ninety-six, just a hair's breadth from the chasm of level ninety-seven, yet he can't make that final push.
Ning Rongrong was full of confidence in her teacher, saying, "Teacher, you have the greatest Sword Array in the World set up outside. With your strength, even if Spirit Hall came out in full force, they probably wouldn't be able to break in, right?"
"What are you worried about?"
Lin Yuan lazily shook his head and shifted into a more comfortable position: "It's mainly annoying. Look at me now, lying around leisurely every day, basking in the sun, guiding you all in cultivation in my free time. Isn't this kind of life good?"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes upon hearing this, helplessly saying, "Teacher, you're still a young man, how can you live like a retired old man? You're too decadent!"
Lin Yuan chuckled: "Then what can I do? Go out and pick a fight? But what you consider 'powerhouses', in my eyes, might not even be able to block one of my swords, or even a single glance."
Although these words sounded arrogant, Ning Rongrong and the other girls were deeply convinced.
Ning Rongrong sighed, recalling: "That seems right. When Teacher took me from the Sect back then, he was only a Spirit Douluo. Not to mention now."
A hint of fighting Spirit also rose in Zhu Zhuqing's clear, cold eyes, and she said seriously: "I will cultivate diligently! I will strive to reach Titled Douluo early, so as not to embarrass Teacher!"
Lin Yuan smiled, his gaze turning to the heavenly screen, and said, "You will. Without any surprises, the rewards from this martial soul ranking shouldn't be bad. I wonder how many of you little ones will make it onto the ranking."
