Lin Yuan flicked his wrist; a streak of light sank into Qian Renxue's brow—an incredibly profound sword insight!
Next, he pulled an ancient-looking tome and a defensive treasure brimming with spirit power from his robe.
"This technique is far superior to the meditation method your Spirit Hall inherited. It suits an angelic Spirit best—take it and cultivate."
"As for this, it's a ninth-grade spirit tool, Red-Dust Refuge. Triggered, it can block a Titled Douluo's strike."
"Just a little toy; keep it for self-defense."
"Against an ordinary Limit Douluo, it should endure a few hits."
"…"
Silence like death.
Qian Daoliu's hands were shaking.
Bibi Dong's eyes had gone wide.
They didn't know what a ninth-grade spirit tool was, yet Lin Yuan called something that could resist a Limit Douluo a "little toy"?
Is this the depth of a god?
Is this the ceremony of accepting a disciple?
Were he not too old, he'd have knelt and taken Lin Yuan as master!
…Just as the rite ended and Qian Renxue stayed at Canglan Academy to cultivate under Lin Yuan…
Three days passed in a flash.
The heavenly screen stirred once more!
[The spirit beast domain ranking list has concluded!]
[Rest period over!]
[New list – Spirit Beast cultivation Ranking List, officially begins!]
[Special rule: only the strongest of each species may enter the list!]
At this moment, every eye on the continent focused anew.
They all wanted to know the exact cultivation of those previously listed fierce beasts of hundreds of thousands of years!
Golden light swirled, and the first entrant appeared.
[Spirit Beast cultivation Ranking List, 21st place: Devil Spirit Great White Shark (Xiao Bai)]
[cultivation: 140 000 years]
[Territory: waters near Sea God Island]
[Status: chieftain of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan]
[Appraisal: the white lightning of the seas, a perfect fusion of speed and bite. Though somewhat capricious, it is the ocean's apex predator and Sea God's loyal guardian.]
[Reward: cultivation +10 000 years, and the prototype artifact Sea God's Fang (attacks carry holy property, deal double damage to evil creatures, ignore partial defense)!]
…Sea God Island, shoreline.
Sea wind howled, reeking of blood.
Xiao Bai, in human form, slumped on blood-soaked sand, unable to smile at the reward shown on the heavenly screen.
Her body was covered in wounds; once-pure skin was torn everywhere.
"Ten-thousand-year boost, Sea God's Fang…"
Xiao Bai clenched her fists, grief filling her eyes.
Three days earlier, this reward would have made her leap for joy.
But now she looked out.
The once-azure sea now blazed crimson.
Countless Devil Spirit Great White Shark corpses floated on the surface—her clansmen!
Though the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had retreated three days ago, Sea God Island had paid a bitter price.
The Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan had lost over half its number!
"Uuu…"
Xiao Bai buried her face and sobbed.
"What use is a cultivation boost?"
"That bastard Deep Sea Demon Whale King will return."
"Can we stop him next time?"
Fear flooded Sea God Island… Then the heavenly screen flashed again.
[Spirit Beast cultivation Ranking List, 20th place: Titan Giant Ape (Er Ming)]
[cultivation: 150 000 years]
[Territory: Canglan Academy]
[Status: guardian Spirit Beast of Canglan Academy]
[Appraisal: bearing Titan bloodline, possessing the heaviness and might of earth-force.]
[Reward: cultivation +10 000 years, and Heart of the Earth (while standing on soil, spirit power recovery doubles, earth-type Spirit Ability power doubles, defense doubles)]
"Boom!"
Behind Canglan Academy, Er Ming thumped his chest in excitement.
"A hundred sixty thousand years!"
"With this Heart of the Earth, I feel invincible as long as I'm on the ground!"
He shot a challenging glance at the small black cat beside him.
"Hey, kitty, see that? My Heart of the Earth beats your flashy attributes any day!"
The black cat lay languidly, not even lifting an eyelid.
Hmph, big oaf.
She couldn't be bothered.
At that moment the heavenly screen refreshed again!
[Spirit Beast cultivation Ranking List, 19th place: Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger]
[cultivation: 150 000 years]
[Territory: Canglan Academy]
[Status: guardian Spirit Beast of Canglan Academy / Lin Yuan's mount]
[Appraisal: darling of evil and darkness, master of space-time and lightning, possessing battle wisdom beyond reason. Now tamed by a god, its ferocity restrained—an excellent house-guard.]
[Reward: cultivation +10 000 years, gains Ultimate Wind and Ultimate Thunder attributes]
"Roar!!!"
Xiao Hei sprang up, wings unfurling as tempest and thunder raged around her!
Ultimate Wind! Ultimate Thunder!
Together with the previous Ultimate Darkness and Evil God inheritance,
she could toy with Er Ming to death despite equal cultivation!
"Aoo~"
Xiao Hei shot Er Ming a smug glance: Big oaf, who'd you say was invincible a moment ago?
Er Ming: "…"
He quietly sidled behind Da Ming.
Can't afford to mess with her—he'd only been bragging.
The list continued!
[Spirit Beast cultivation Ranking List, 18th place: Sky Azure Bull Python]
[cultivation: 190 000 years]
[Territory: Canglan Academy]
[Status: guardian Spirit Beast of Canglan Academy]
[Appraisal: emperor of the forest, bearing partial dragon blood. Now guarding Canglan Academy, dragon-transformation is only a matter of time.]
[Reward: cultivation +10 000 years, true-dragon blood further purified, 200 000-year tribulation ignored]
"Two hundred thousand years!"
Feeling the surging spirit power within, Da Ming trembled with excitement.
Two hundred thousand years is a tremendous threshold for Spirit Beasts!
Once crossed, one becomes a fierce beast!
A resonant dragon-cry echoed above Canglan Academy… Yet
the continent was already in an uproar!
Countless people stared at the identical "Territory: Canglan Academy" on the heavenly screen, mouths agape.
"Am I seeing things?"
"Titan Giant Ape? Sky Azure Bull Python? And that terrifying Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger?"
"Weren't they the overlords of Star Dou Great Forest?"
"How did they all become guardians of Canglan Academy?!"
News of Lin Yuan's apotheosis was known only to the pinnacle experts of the World;
everyone else, even the emperors of the Two Great Empires, believed he was still merely a Quasi-God.
"Is this the face of a Quasi-God?"
"Having them as academy guardians—so domineering!"
