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

Chapter 82, Ranked 10th on the Opportunity List: The Ancient Ruins of the Sun and Moon Empire!

Inside the dean's room, Zhang Yi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The system rewards flooded into his body and soul like a torrent.

The soul power was compressed and purified to the extreme. The original vast soul power increased in quality tenfold while the total amount remained the same!
Each strand of soul power shimmered with a pale golden divine radiance, heavy and restrained, causing the surrounding threads of rules to tremble slightly as it circulated.

His spiritual sea of ​​consciousness transformed into an endless starry sky, with the nascent divine essence of the [Civilization Guide] hanging in the center like the North Star, radiating the brilliance of reason, order, and guidance.

His understanding of the "Void Treasury" is deeper, and countless knowledge seems to be innate;
His control over the Xuanyuan Sword has become more refined, and he can now freely control his kingly aura, no longer easily inciting the masses to worship him.

Furthermore, with just a thought, Zhang Yi could perceive everything within the academy's boundaries.

He could even vaguely sense the invisible "dimensional barrier," which solidly and coldly restricted the ultimate breakthrough of mortal life.

"Although I am still at the peak of level 99, my strength has long surpassed that limit."

Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly reflecting the rise and fall of galaxies. "Ascension to the God Realm? No, my stage is the vast ocean of stars. Douluo Continent is merely the port from which I set sail, and Honkai Academy is my Noah's Ark!"

He felt the immense power within him, far exceeding that of a peak first-level god, and the World Tree branch floating in the system space, radiating the aura of creation and life. A vague plan for building his own "divine kingdom" or "ark of civilization" began to take shape in his mind.

……

After the first round of female trainees was recruited, Zhang Yi did not rush to show himself.

Instead, Rita, Theresa, Fu Hua, and others systematically arranged for the new students to move in, familiarize themselves with the academy's rules, and guide the representatives of various parties who had paid huge sums of "sponsorship" to move around in the designated "guest area."

During this period, some people harbored wishful thinking or doubts.

A Soul Master from a powerful kingdom, confident in his strength, attempts to force his way into the depths of the "Soul Guidance Mimicry Training Ground" in the core area of ​​the academy to find out what's going on.

However, the moment he stepped across the cordon, the entire academy seemed to come alive.

An invisible and intangible will, as vast as the starry sea, suddenly descended!

There was no burst of soul power, no overwhelming aura.

The Soul Douluo felt his connection with his Martial Soul instantly severed, the surrounding gravity suddenly increased a hundredfold, the air solidified like an iron plate, pinning him firmly to the spot, unable to move even a finger.

Even more terrifying, he felt that his perception of the world was being "modified," and his concept of space was being distorted, as if he would be banished to the unknown void at any moment!
In just three breaths, as his soul was about to dissipate, the pressure suddenly vanished.

He collapsed to the ground, drenched in sweat, his eyes filled with boundless fear.

A calm voice resounded from the depths of his soul, devoid of any warmth, yet containing an undeniable authority:
"Considering this is a first offense, we will give it a small punishment as a warning. This will not be repeated."

—It's Zhang Yi's voice!

This scene was witnessed and horrified by all the representatives of the "guest" forces.

They finally understood that the young dean's methods and strength were beyond their comprehension.

Any ulterior motives are a joke in the face of absolute power and control over the rules.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

At Honkai Academy, in the plaza, new and old students, all girls dressed in the same uniform, each with a different temperament, all had bright eyes and were full of confidence in the academy and the future.

Behind them stood representatives from various factions, these titled Douluo powerhouses their faces filled with anticipation, awe, and the reassurance of having found their leader. Zhang Yi stood high above, looking down at the assembled crowd.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall, the Hall of Worship, the four lower sects, and various kingdoms... nearly half of the top forces in the human world of Douluo Continent gathered because of him.

Although internal conflicts still exist, they have temporarily put aside their prejudices under the banner of the Honkai Academy and the pressure from external soul beast forces.

The midday sun gilded the entire college, and the Tree of Life within the college stretched its branches and leaves, exuding a refreshing and vibrant vitality.

Everyone fell silent, raising their heads in unison to gaze at the sky ablaze with rosy light, waiting.

We await the reappearance of the Golden List, the opening of the Opportunity List, and... the official unveiling of a new era led by Honkai Academy!

In this moment of utmost silence, when everyone is watching and you can hear a pin drop—

“Buzz——!!!”

Above the sky, the rosy clouds were torn apart by an incomparably pure gold!
The enormous scroll, which had been silent for three days, trembled violently once more, like a primordial beast awakening, and burst forth with divine light that illuminated heaven and earth!
A mysterious and unpredictable aura, stirring the desires of all living beings to explore it, descended like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire Douluo Continent!

The mighty voice of Heaven, like a clarion call announcing the change of eras, resounded clearly deep within the souls of every living being:

The three-day deadline has arrived!

[The Opportunity Ranking is officially open!]

With their combined power, no matter where they were, the eyes of all people and beasts were instantly drawn to them.

It was projected onto the golden sky that was about to reveal the list of places of supreme creation!
Everyone held their breath at that moment, their eyes fixed intently on the sky, afraid of missing even the slightest detail!
As the list of opportunities is about to be revealed, a new storm is brewing!
Honkai Academy and its members are ready to compete for the greatest fortune in this torrent!
……

The third day, early morning.

When the rising sun shines down again, it gilds the Honkai Academy with a golden edge.

Above the sky, the golden scroll that had been silent for three days suddenly began to tremble violently again without warning!

Golden rays pierced the clouds like sharp swords, and a mysterious and unpredictable aura, arousing the desire of all spirits to explore, suddenly descended!

The mighty voice of the Heavenly Dao, like the tolling of a bell for exploration, echoed clearly between heaven and earth:
The three-day deadline has arrived!

[The Opportunity Ranking is officially open!]

No matter where they were in the Douluo Continent, everyone was instantly drawn to this voice and the light of the golden list, turning their gaze to the golden sky that was about to reveal the list of those who would be granted supreme fortune!
A new storm, a new struggle, has officially begun!

……

Above the heavens, the golden light of the list swirled and eventually coalesced into a line of ancient and dazzling characters.

At the same time, the mighty voice of the Heavenly Dao resounded in the minds of all living beings:
[Ranking 10th on the Fortuitous Opportunities List - Ancient Ruins of the Sun and Moon Empire]

The scene in the sky changed, no longer showing specific martial spirits or phantoms of spirit beasts, but a vast and dilapidated ancient ruin.

The ruins stretch to the horizon, their style quite different from the current Douluo architecture, full of metallic and geometric beauty.

Huge gears are half-buried in the yellow sand, and rusty metal pipes, like the skeleton of a giant dragon, extend deep into the earth.

Inside some of the relatively well-preserved buildings, one can vaguely see complex core magic arrays shimmering with a faint light, as well as piles of rare metal ores emitting strange energy fluctuations.
