That night, in a secluded courtyard at Canaan Academy, a young man in a gray-blue robe sat cross-legged, his eyes lightly closed. He formed hand seals, his Dou Qi flowing through his body, and his pale green Dou Qi gauze danced.
Suddenly
"Grand Master, break!"
With a soft shout, a powerful aura erupted from the young man. Along with the breath, a ripple of energy spread through the dancing Dou Qi gauze, which slowly stopped. An instant later, a cyan light suddenly flashed, then rapidly merged, converged, and finally merged. A moment later, the cyan light transformed into a condensed, form-fitting cyan flame-patterned armor that draped the young man.
Then, the young man released his hand seals, opened his gently closed eyes, and surveyed his Dou Qi armor with a hint of satisfaction.
"One-star Grand Master, accomplished!"
Suddenly, the young man's eyes flickered, and he stood up, turned, and bowed slightly toward the distance, clasping his fists in a salute.
"I am ashamed to have disturbed the Dean. Thank you for your care, Dean. I am deeply grateful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in gray appeared before Lin Yuan. It was Hu Qian, the Vice Dean of the Outer Court of Canaan Academy. Hu Qian said with some surprise, "Although you didn't deliberately hide it, you were still able to sense it. It seems Old Man Huo was right; you are indeed exceptionally talented in the realm of the soul."
After speaking, he looked him over a few times and smiled with satisfaction, "Good, very good. A fifteen-year-old one-star Great Dou Master with a very solid foundation. You truly deserve to be a genius of Canaan Academy."
Then, Hu Qian took out a token from his storage ring and tossed it to Lin Yuan, "Take this..." "Order," he said, "tomorrow, you will go to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion and select a high-level Xuan-grade technique and a high-level Xuan-grade fighting technique. Also, you won't have to go to the Law Enforcement Team for the next few days. Familiarize yourself with the power of a Grand Fighter. I'll inform Elder Wu."
Lin Yuan took the token and replied with a hint of excitement, "Thank you, Dean! I'll follow your instructions!"
Hu Qian smiled, "Don't be polite. We're all family. Practice well, and go encourage that little girl, Hu Jia. You're the same age, but now you're already a one-star Grand Fighter, and she hasn't even broken through to the Douzhe realm yet, and she's so disengaged in her cultivation. No, I have to go and give her a lecture."
With that, his figure vanished.
A moment after Hu Qian's disappearance, Lin Yuan straightened himself and placed the token in his low-level storage ring. He pondered, "Breaking through to the Grand Fighter realm gives me a reward of a high-level Xuan-grade technique and a high-level Xuan-grade fighting technique. As expected of Canaan Academy, they're so generous to their own people."
Suddenly, he chuckled.
"Rather than a reward, it's more like an investment in my own talented protégé. It was indeed the right decision to come to Canaan Academy!"
Looking up at the bright moonlight in the sky, Lin Yuan felt a little excited. He went back to the house, took out a pot of wine, and sat on the stone table in the courtyard. His figure looked particularly clear and lonely under the moonlight. He held an exquisite wine glass in his hand and drank leisurely facing the bright moon.
The moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling on his body, covering him with a layer of silver-white veil. With long thoughts, his face looked a little hazy in the moonlight, but the light in his eyes became more and more determined.
"I have been in this world for fifteen years, and I have finally qualified to enter!"
That's right, Lin Yuan was a time traveler, born fifteen years ago into an ordinary family in the familiar yet unfamiliar world of Dou Qi Continent. His father was a mercenary, a seven-star Dou Zhe, and his mother was a minor pharmacist who hadn't yet reached the Dou Zhe level. His family was modest, yet considered happy.
However, Lin Yuan's family life didn't last long. When he was nine, his father was killed in a simple battle by a monster during a mission. His mother, driven mad by his father's death, died after accidentally touching a poisonous weed, leaving him orphaned once again.
The deaths of his parents made Lin Yuan deeply aware of the cruelty of the Dou Qi Continent. Without power, life and death could change in the blink of an eye. From then on, he resolved to become a powerful warrior step by step.
Fortunately, despite lacking a special background and the unseen gold finger that is the standard for time travelers, Lin Yuan appears to possess considerable spiritual and spiritual talent.
Lin Yuan's exceptional talent afforded him the opportunity to become a powerful figure. Combined with his mature mindset, he diligently cultivated from a young age. Finally, at the age of ten, he passed the mainland-wide entrance exam for Canaan Academy with a ninth-level Dou Qi. Despite some setbacks, he successfully became a student.
During the five years since arriving at Canaan Academy, Lin Yuan has diligently showcased his exceptional talent in the hopes of securing further investment.
He understood that when the intelligence in his head couldn't translate into resources, his exceptional talent was his greatest asset. Demonstrating his worth and attracting the right individuals to invest in him was the best way to overcome his initial weakness, and Canaan Academy was an ideal choice.
Indeed, as he anticipated, his orphan status and exceptional talent earned him recognition from the academy, allowing him to become a direct descendant of the Canaan Academy.
Lin Yuan initially assumed he would become a disciple of one of the academy's elders. Later, he learned that Canaan Academy had a hidden rule, perhaps a tacit understanding: once an orphan with a clean background and exceptional talent like him became a direct descendant, the academy's leadership would train him on behalf of the academy as a whole, to prevent any individual's influence from expanding and potentially damaging the academy's organizational structure.
Lin Yuan was part of the "Forging Elites Project," a program designed by the Canaan Academy leadership to cultivate future direct descendant elders. He was considered one of the most gifted, earning him the title of "elder reserve" of Canaan Academy. As a result, Lin Yuan enjoyed considerable attention within the academy, becoming acquainted with Hu Jia, the granddaughter of Hu Qian, and Wu Hao, the adopted son of Wu Tianlang, an elder from the law enforcement team.
During his five years at the academy, Lin Yuan spent much of his time in arduous self-cultivation, cultivating his Dou Qi, honing his Dou Qi through field training with the law enforcement team, and learning the intricacies of alchemy in the Alchemy Department. His life was truly fulfilling.
Lin Yuan's powerful soul power gave him an exceptional talent for alchemy. His knowledge of medicinal materials and his ability to control fire were both exceptional. He was highly regarded by the Alchemy Department's Fire Elder, who even gifted him a seed of the fifth-rank beastfire, "Blue Spirit Flame," upon achieving third-grade alchemy.
Under the moonlight, Lin Yuan recalled the crucial five years at Canaan Academy, five years that laid a solid foundation for his future. He pondered the future course of this Dou Qi Continent and the plans he had drawn up.
As the wine jug emptied, Lin Yuan's contemplation ended. He raised his glass, offering a distant salute to heaven and earth, and drank his final draught.
"I do not know why I have come to this Dou Qi Continent, but if any noble person has taken notice of me, then please witness my performance in this life and see if it will be a marvel."
"Dou Qi Continent, the great situation of the world, Lin Yuan has arrived."
Lin Yuan put down his glass and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the courtyard. The flow of Dou Qi dispelled his drunkenness, and he returned to his daily practice.
