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

Chapter 65: The fifth-ranked Soul Beast on the Potential Ranking is the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!
This precise data analysis is more reassuring than any grand pronouncements.

Rita smiled and explained, "Distinguished guests, please rest assured. Although the Dean may seem leisurely on ordinary days, every tree, every brick, and every tile in the academy is under his control and planning."

"Let alone a ferocious beast that has just broken through 900,000 years, even if a true god were to descend and want to act recklessly in the Honkai Academy, he would first have to ask the Dean's Xuanyuan Sword whether all of us teachers and students agree."

Her words were gentle, yet they revealed absolute confidence in Zhang Yi and the terrifying strength of the Honkai Academy.

Li Sushang stood with her sword in her arms, and laughed smugly: "My Taixu Sword Qi is specially designed to cut through all sorts of fancy tricks. No matter how many illusions or how many spatial distortions there are, I can shatter them with a single sword strike! It just so happens that my sword hasn't drunk the blood of such ferocious beasts in a long time."

Even Raiden Mei and Kiana, who usually seem the most unassuming, had unwavering determination in their eyes at this moment.

Mei lightly pressed her sword sheath, and subtle lightning and spatial fluctuations resonated around her: "My Narukami is not just capable of passive defense."

Kiana waved her little fist and exclaimed, "That's right! My power of the end is not to be trifled with! If it dares to come, I'll blast it away with the Moon's Eternity!"

The teachers chatted amongst themselves, their words brimming with strong confidence and absolute pride in the college!
They were not blindly arrogant, but based on a deep understanding of their own strength, the abilities of their companions, and the unfathomable depth of the academy's soul-guided technology and array formations.

Finally, everyone's attention was once again focused on Zhang Yi.

He slowly stood up, without releasing any soul power pressure. He calmly walked to the edge of the terrace, put his hands behind his back, and looked up at the phantom of the Evil Emperor in the sky, which was still proclaiming his power. The faint smile on his lips remained unchanged.

"The teachers at the college are right."

Zhang Yi's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the hearts of everyone: "Not only the Evil Emperor, but also all the soul beasts that may be on the list later. They may be very strong, but the Collapse Academy is not a place where they can run wild."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, finally settling on Xue Beng and Xue Ke, whose expressions had softened slightly, and Qian Renxue and the others, whose eyes held complex emotions, before continuing:

"The academy's defense system combines soul guidance technology, array runes... Let alone the fact that it has just broken through 900,000 years, even if it has truly reached a million years, trying to force its way in would come at an unimaginable cost."

"As for its spiritual power..."

Zhang Yi chuckled softly, raised his right hand, and the golden hexahedron symbolizing the origin of knowledge and creation—[Void Treasury]—quietly appeared in his palm, flowing with a tranquil and vast radiance.

"To try to manipulate spirit and space in front of my 'Void Treasury' is tantamount to showing off one's skills before an expert."

"If it dares to spy on the academy with its mental power, the laws of the 'Law of Reason' will prepare a feast for it; if it tries to distort space, the academy's 'spatial anchor' will teach it what it means to be impregnable."

His tone was so matter-of-fact, as if he were stating a simple fact as straightforward as the sunrise in the east.

"Since you have chosen to come to Honkai Academy, whether to study or cooperate, you are guests of our academy. You are safe and sound on our territory."

Zhang Yi took one last look at the sky, his tone carrying an undeniable air of dominance, "The sky over Douluo Continent won't collapse. Even if it does, my Honkai Academy will be there to hold it up."

These words acted like a stabilizing force, completely dispelling the gloom that had been hanging over everyone's hearts.

Ning Fengzhi, Chenxin, and Gurong exchanged a smile, feeling reassured.

Prince Xue Beng let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from his brow. Princess Xue Ke looked at Zhang Yi with eyes full of admiration and reassurance.

Qian Renxue gazed intently at Zhang Yi, imprinting his composure and confidence into her mind, and a certain idea in her heart became even more resolute.

Although the people from the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Offerings had different thoughts, they had to admit that in the face of this mysterious dean and his Honkai Academy, even the terrifying threat brought by the Evil Emperor seemed less hopeless.

Honkai Impact 3rd's foundation and confidence were on full display at this moment!

……

Just as the entire continent was gripped by fear due to the Evil Emperor's terror, and various forces were sharpening their knives, the Golden Ranking of the Azure Sky shone brightly.

The revelation of the next name left all the onlookers stunned, as if a powerful blow had struck empty air!

In between, the scene in the sky was no longer a gloomy and desolate valley, but a crystal-clear, chilling ice cave in the far north.

In the center of the picture, instead of the ferocious and terrifying beast expected, there was a giant ice silkworm that was pure white like jade, round and chubby, and looked harmless and even a little cute.
It was lazily curled up on the ancient ice, occasionally rubbing against it comfortably, creating an extreme contrast with the imposing aura of the previous few on the list.

It is the legendary creature living in the far north, known for its longevity—the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm!
[Soul Beast Potential Ranking, 5th Place - Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm (Beast King Level, Ice/Spirit)]

[Race]: Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm (Beast King level, a miracle of longevity and spirit)
[Bloodline]: A mutated ice silkworm that unexpectedly broke through the limits of its race through special opportunities and long years. Its bloodline is ordinary, but it is respected because of its age.

[Cultivation Level]: 990,000 years (reaching the ultimate peak of lifespan for mortal soul beasts!)

[Potential Assessment]: ★★★★★★★ (Unique potential, defying conventional judgment)

[Talent Domain]: None (Having the time limit, but failing to comprehend a domain that matches one's cultivation level)

Core Competencies:
Vast spiritual power: The spiritual power accumulated over 990,000 years is so vast that it is unimaginable. Although it is not good at precise control and attack, its total amount is the largest among soul beasts, like a boundless spiritual ocean.

Ultimate Ice: Possesses the ultimate ice attribute, but due to limitations in temperament and talent, it has failed to develop powerful ice-type attack soul skills, and mostly uses them for self-preservation and sleep.

Original Characteristic - Wisdom Soul Ring: Due to its pure and vast spiritual origin, it can be absorbed by human soul masters if both parties are completely willing. Instead of becoming an ordinary soul ring, it becomes a second independent martial soul!

And provide at least four soul rings that reach the limit of their own lifespan (starting with a million-year soul ring)! This process involves huge risks. If it is not voluntary or the soul master's physique cannot withstand it, both parties will explode and die.

[Reason for inclusion]: With the most ordinary foundation, relying on extraordinary luck and a unique way of survival, he lived to the peak of 990,000 years, which is a miracle of life and luck in itself. His unique "wisdom soul ring" characteristic broke the ironclad rule that soul masters can only have a single martial soul, opening up an unprecedented path. His potential is unique and he is highly regarded.

[Potential Ranking Rewards]:
Solidification of the Spiritual Origin: The power of the Heavenly Dao helps to organize and solidify its vast but loose spiritual power, forming a more stable and easier-to-control spiritual core, greatly enhancing its spiritual defense and endurance.

The innate supernatural power bestowed upon it is 【Dreamlike】: It grants it powerful concealment and illusion abilities, allowing it to perfectly conceal its aura, simulate the surrounding environment, and even create illusions that are difficult for even ferocious beasts to detect, for use in self-protection and escape.

The Divine Artifact Embryo – [Ice Silkworm Jade Robe]: A close-fitting treasure robe woven from the ice silkworm's own body and blessed by the Heavenly Dao. Its physical defense is average, but it has excellent resistance to mental attacks and energy impacts, and can passively accelerate the recovery of soul power and mental power.
