Chapter 1 Jixia Academy, the list of successful candidates revealed.
Deep within the Sunset Forest lies the eye of both ice and fire, a treasure land born of heaven and earth.
At this moment, however, there was an atmosphere that was completely different from the gloomy and poisonous miasma of the past.
The spring is still half red like flames and half milky white like ice, where yin and yang meet and rise in mist.
But the loneliness and repression that originally belonged to Poison Douluo Dugu Bo have long been replaced by a peaceful scene.
"Dean!"
Zhuge Liang, dressed in a blue scholar's robe, gently waved his feather fan and bowed slightly to Lin Hua, who stood in the center, his tone filled with analysis and respect.
"The energy here is indeed extraordinary, with yin and yang coexisting, mutually restraining and complementing each other, which is in line with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth!"
"If we can use this as the core and supplement it with formations, we may be able to build a 'Yin-Yang Two Elements Formation' that integrates cultivation, defense, and healing. This would be of great benefit to our Jixia Academy in this world."
Upon hearing this, Lin Hua smiled gently.
"Master Kongming's thinking is thorough, and this idea is excellent. If you need any materials or manpower, please just ask, and the academy's resources will provide them first."
He not only immediately affirmed it, but also gave it his full support.
Not far away, Dongfang Jing, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, stood with his arms crossed. His cool gaze swept over the spring and finally landed on Lin Hua, as if reporting a message.
"Dean, the energy rules of this realm are unique and form a system of their own, but the overall upper limit of levels seems to be not high!"
Her tone was calm.
"Sister! Dean! Look at that flower, it's glittering with gold!"
"And that blade of grass, it looks like it's blinking!"
Dongfang Yao looked at Lin Hua with excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent. Pointing to the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, he was filled with joy at the "Dean" sharing his new discovery.
Dongfang Jing glanced at her younger brother helplessly, but still added.
"Although Yao is loud and boastful, his observation skills are not bad!"
"These plants contain different types of energy; some seem to have a targeted strengthening effect on the physical body, while others seem to have a similar effect on the mind!"
Lin Hua nodded approvingly.
"Kyo and Yo are so thoughtful!"
On the blue stone by the spring, Li Bai, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, leaned against it, took a swig of wine, and his gaze, which had been hazy, cleared slightly as he looked at Lin Hua, a carefree smile playing on his lips.
"Dean Lin, although this place lacks the hustle and bustle of Chang'an's taverns, the tranquility of nature, accompanied by this Yin-Yang Spirit Spring, has its own unique charm."
He raised the gourd of wine in his hand as a gesture of greeting. Lin Hua returned the gesture with a smile.
"I'm glad Brother Taibai is pleased."
More figures were scattered around, though none of them approached to speak.
However, their posture was relaxed and their breathing was calm, clearly showing that they had great faith in Lin Hua, their "dean," and regarded this place as a safe haven to stay.
Lin Hua was gentle in tone and friendly in attitude.
After all, these people were just summoned by the system, so it's normal for them to be curious!
Moreover, these are all his people, or his foundation!
When he traveled to the Douluo Continent and became a Soul Douluo, he seized control of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
This is because he awakened the Jixia System, which allows him to summon a level 90 or higher King Hero with each level of Soul Power he gains.
He also established a strong presence at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
His name is!
Jixia Academy!
His own cultivation level is also quite high, possessing the martial souls Xuanyuan Sword and the Samsara Eye!
Through various gift packs from the Jixia system and local immortal herbs, he has already reached the Title Douluo realm!
At the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the true original owner, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, was watching all of this with a complicated expression.
A year ago, this group of people appeared out of nowhere and easily "took over" this place with power and numbers that he could not comprehend at all.
More than a dozen Title Douluos!
All the publicly known Title Douluos on the entire continent combined probably don't even amount to a fraction of the number here!
What else could he do but accept it, even if he had to hold his nose?
If you can't beat them, you have to join them.
Now he's become the "goalkeeper" here, and by the way, thanks to his granddaughter Dugu Yan, he's become familiar with these people and occasionally gets a word or two of guidance, which is the only benefit he gets.
Looking at Lin Hua, who was surrounded by everyone like a star, he felt only admiration and deep apprehension.
This young man appears gentle, but is actually unfathomable.
Therefore, the most terrifying person in the crowd was still that boy named Lin Hua.
Just then, Lin Hua seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.
The once clear sky suddenly darkened without warning.
Countless mysterious golden runes flowed and converged across the sky like a tide, radiating a majestic divine power.
"oh??"
A knowing smile appeared on Lin Hua's lips as he muttered to himself.
Zhuge Liang paused slightly with his feather fan, and a stream of data flashed in his eyes.
"The will of Heaven has manifested? It is vast in scale and its intentions are unclear. Dean, you must be careful."
Dongfang Jing instantly entered a state of alert and analysis, slightly adjusting his posture and speaking in a low voice.
"Dean, the energy reaction exceeds the known upper limit of this boundary."
Dongfang Yao also restrained his impetuousness and quickly approached Lin Hua and Jing, forming a subtle protective stance, his curiosity mixed with vigilance.
"Dean, are they coming for us?"
Li Bai put down his wine gourd, his eyes sharp as swords. Though he said nothing, he subtly adjusted his posture, his aura concealed.
Their response was swift and orderly, and they immediately focused their attention and decision-making power on Lin Hua.
Dugu Bo froze, feeling the immense power of the heavens, and his expression changed drastically.
"What...what is this?"
Under the watchful eyes of all living beings, the endless golden runes finally coalesced into a line of enormous, awe-inspiring characters that stretched across the sky.
[The Douluo Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking is now open! Starting today, we'll be listing the twenty strongest martial souls in this realm!]
Those who make the list will all be blessed by Heaven, receiving generous rewards such as soul bones, soul skills, immortal herbs, and soul tools!
The handwriting shone with brilliance, and the majestic voice, like a resounding bell, echoed in the hearts of every living being.
Lin Tian looked at the list of successful candidates, a knowing glint in his eyes.
exposure?
"It seems my power can't hold out any longer. It's time to give this little place a shock!"
"And it's time for them to make their appearance!"
The appearance of the Golden List was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a raging storm that swept across the entire continent.
The Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.
Bibidon, seated on the papal throne, tightened her grip on the scepter slightly.
Her phoenix eyes gleamed as she gazed at the words on the sky, her mind racing.
"The most promising martial soul...a reward from the Heavenly Dao...this is divine assistance to my Martial Soul Hall!"
Her voice was cold, carrying an undeniable ambition.
After all, all martial spirits belong to the Spirit Hall.
They have a variety of martial spirits, so they're sure to make the list.
Her Death Spider Queen and Soul-Devouring Spider Queen must be among the top three on the list!
This reward will contribute to her Spirit Hall's unification of the continent!
The Hall of Spirits, the Hall of Offerings.
Qian Daoliu stood suspended in the air, bathed in the radiance of the angel statue, his face calm, but deep in his eyes was absolute confidence.
"The Martial Soul inherited from the Angel God Ancestor is of divine quality. The number one spot on this list belongs to my Angel Martial Soul."
"The reward for passing the imperial examination... may help Xue'er complete the divine test sooner."
