Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 79 The Confidence of the Honkai Academy Students, the Opportunity Ranking!
Zhang Yi remained standing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the peerless Silver Dragon King in the sky. Instead of fear, his face revealed an even stronger interest and... a hint of amusement at seeing a predator.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the anxious "guests" around him, his tone remaining calm and composed, as if discussing the moonlight that evening:

"Sect Leader Ning, please calm down."

He took a sip of the black tea Rita offered him, his movements elegant and without the slightest sign of panic.

"Your Excellency Silver Dragon King is indeed a man of extraordinary talent. It is even more remarkable that you have been able to recover the strength of a first-level god in this realm."

He began by giving a positive assessment, but then abruptly changed his tone, his voice carrying an air of self-assured confidence:
"But so what?"

He put down his teacup, his gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Ning Fengzhi's anxious face, and he smiled faintly:

“What I just said was, ‘As long as Di Tian hasn’t ascended to the God Realm, hasn’t truly condensed his divine spark, and hasn’t achieved the position of Beast God, he won’t pose much of a threat to my Collapse Academy.’”

"This statement also applies to His Excellency the Silver Dragon King."

He paused, then, meeting everyone's incredulous gazes, spoke clearly and slowly:

"As long as she has not recovered to the peak of the God-King realm, and has not fully recovered the full strength of the Dragon God and wielded complete authority..."

"Therefore, in this Douluo Continent, in this Sunset Forest, my Honkai Academy will still be the one she needs to... treat as an equal, and even treat with caution."

"boom--!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, exploding in everyone's minds!

Even with the Silver Dragon King's peak strength as a first-level deity, should he be treated as an equal and with utmost care?

If someone else had said this, they would have scoffed at it.

But coming from the mouth of this unfathomable Dean Zhang Yi, it carried a convincing magic!

Qian Renxue stood not far away, listening to Zhang Yi's calm yet domineering words, and watching his figure, which remained as upright as a pine tree despite Gu Yuena's overwhelming divine power.

Her golden eyes shimmered with a strange light, her heart filled with countless emotions. She couldn't help but whisper to She Longci Xue beside her:

"Once upon a time, the Spirit Hall was hailed as the backbone of humanity, the mainstay in the face of the pressure from spirit beasts. All spirit masters under heaven relied on the prestige of the Spirit Hall."

"But now, facing the divine beast tide formed by the Dragon God, the Beast God, and even the soul beasts of the whole world, the Spirit Hall is in dire need of protection, and the Hall of Offerings is also helpless."

"Yet this academy, and its dean, remained calm and composed, even speaking to the Silver Dragon King as an equal..."

She took a deep breath, her tone a mixture of complexity and relief:

"It seems that the title of the number one human power on the Douluo Continent will change hands completely from this day forward."

"Only this place is the last and most solid bulwark and hope for our human race in this apocalypse."

Her words expressed the sentiments of all the outsiders present.

As if grasping at a straw, Prince Avalanche rushed forward, his tone almost fawning: "Dean Zhang Yi! The Heavenly Dou Empire is willing to submit to the academy, only asking that the dean protect its millions of citizens!"

The envoy from the Star Luo Empire also hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Even Yue Guan Gui Mei from the Spirit Hall lowered his guard and his eyes were filled with pleading.

Zhang Yi looked at the scene before him, smiled faintly, and turned his gaze back to the sky, communicating with the Silver Dragon King across the void.

"Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, your power at its peak was truly awe-inspiring."

"But..." He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the anxious crowd below, finally settling back towards the starry sky. His voice suddenly became firm and powerful, carrying an undeniable air of authority:
That's all.

"The sky over Douluo Continent is not something a single soul beast can cover up with one hand."

"Our Honkai Academy stands here to seek the Dao, to pass on the Dharma, and to protect this pure land beneath our feet and the flame of humanity."

"Whether human or beast, god or demon..."

Zhang Yi's voice was like rolling thunder, echoing across the surrounding area. He raised his right hand, and on his palm, the phantom of the [Xuanyuan Sword] and the golden radiance of the [Void Treasury] shone simultaneously.

A powerful aura, transcending the mortal realm and imbued with the majesty of humanity and the wisdom of civilization, surged into the sky, subtly contending with the dragon's might in the distance!

"If you wish to trample on the order here and disrupt my teachings..."

"They first asked me, Zhang Yi, and all the teachers and students of my Honkai Academy..."

"No yes!"

boom!
An invisible wave of energy spread out from Zhang Yi, not from the pressure of soul power, but from a firm will, a fearless declaration!

At this moment, all the teachers and students of Honkai Impact 3rd Academy—Himeko, Theresa, Fu Hua, Rita, Kiana, Raiden Mei, Bronya…

Everyone's eyes became incredibly sharp and determined. The power within them resonated subtly, connecting with Zhang Yi's aura to form a terrifying aura that, though not ostentatious, was equally unfathomable!
It was as if it were announcing to the entire continent.

Even with the resurgence of the God King and the changing of the heavens and earth, the Honkai Academy remains the strongest fortress and the most powerful reliance of human civilization!
As the various forces on the mainland watched Zhang Yi "conversing" with the Silver Dragon King across the sky, and saw the teachers and students behind him with their profound auras and fearless expressions, the panic and despair in their hearts miraculously dissipated by more than half.

Instead, there was a firm belief in finding a core leader, and... an infinite awe and reliance on the unfathomable depths of Honkai Academy!
The ascent of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena brought extreme panic.

Zhang Yi and the Honkai Academy's response, amidst this gloom of panic, lit an inextinguishable beacon for humanity!

A new storm has arrived, and Honkai Academy is ready to face it all!

……

Above the heavens, the golden scroll that stretched across the sky finally came to an end this review of the [Soul Beast Potential Ranking].

But the review was far from over. After a brief silence, the sky once again burst forth with dazzling divine light!

The golden list exudes a purple aura that can arouse the desires of all things. It seems to stir up the deepest desires in the hearts of living beings, their yearning for power, for longevity, and for transcendence.

The mighty voice of Heaven, like a clear spring flowing through the heart, resounded clearly deep within the minds of every living being:
