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

Chapter 91 Fourth on the Opportunity Ranking: The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire!

"It does not rely on bloodline, but determines qualifications through assessments and promotes growth through experience. The system is complete and the rewards and punishments are clear. This is the right path. Compared with the other divine lineages, it has a larger scope and more benefits."

Zhang Yi's remark reached everyone's ears, his words filled with praise.

However, he immediately changed his tone, reverting to his indifferent demeanor as he looked at the gods: "However, the trials on Seagod Island end here. Inheriting the position of Seagod may seem like reaching the pinnacle, but in reality, it is also like wearing shackles, being trapped within the rules and authority of the divine realm for life, with little chance of true transcendence."

"My Honkai Academy seeks infinite possibilities, to create its own path and laws, rather than to become the successor of any god."

He didn't even look at the [Tide Sacred Pearl], which was a huge deal for the Honkai Academy, which possessed the [Void Treasury] containing countless knowledge and the [Xuanyuan Sword] that established humanity.

While the assessment system on Poseidon Island is good, it is no longer necessary.

Zhang Yi's assessment once again clearly demonstrates the Honkai Academy's transcendent positioning—they admire the Seagod Island system, but their goals have long surpassed mere inheritance.

Zhang Yi's comments, which began with affirmation and then surpassed, stirred the emotions of the representatives from various factions around him.

The representatives from the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were all deeply shocked: "Even an existence like Seagod Island is only considered 'decent' in Dean Zhang Yi's eyes? Just how deep is the foundation of the Honkai Academy?"

Ning Fengzhi sighed, "The Poseidon Island system has already amazed us, but the Dean... Alas, it seems our sect still needs to broaden its horizons."

The Spirit Hall's Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged horrified glances, their doubts deepening as they grew even more about Bibi Dong's strategy of opposing the Honkai Academy.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly as she looked at Seagod Island, a hint of solemnity and apprehension flashing in her eyes.

"Poseidon Island, Poseidon Island, it's them again..."

She murmured those two names; they were opponents that the Spirit Hall had failed to truly subdue for many years.

"Its inheritance system is indeed troublesome, but it has created many powerful individuals. The [Tide Sacred Pearl] is like adding wings to a tiger."

She pondered in her heart, but the attributes of the Rakshasa God position and the Sea God position were far from compatible. She herself had no idea, but she was worried that a new Sea God successor would appear on the continent and break the balance.

"Issue orders to strengthen the coastal intelligence network and closely monitor the movements of Poseidon Island, especially information on those who may obtain the [Tide Sacred Pearl]."

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu looked at the inheritance site of his old rival with a complicated expression. He and Poseidon were old acquaintances, and he knew well how powerful and troublesome Seagod Island was.

"The Way of the Sea God is vast and boundless, forming its own system. It is only natural that it has gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao."

He spoke with a hint of emotion, "Xue'er's angelic inheritance and the sea god's inheritance are not in direct conflict, so we can just observe for now." He was using it more as a strategic reference and had no intention of competing for it.

……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena gazed at Seagod Island with her purple eyes. Compared to her pure disgust for other divine heritage sites, her evaluation was slightly different. "The Seagod... governs the order of the ocean, and he and his followers are a relatively peaceful group. This island's system does have some merits; at least it's not like the Asuras or Rakshasa who only know how to kill and destroy."

But then her eyes turned cold again: "However, the lackeys of the God Realm remain unchanged in their nature. The ocean should be a paradise for countless sea spirit beasts. How can a single god be allowed to monopolize power? The existence of this island is also one of the shackles that suppress my spirit beast race's control over the ocean."

Di Tian growled, "My lord, should we send someone...?"

Gu Yuena shook her head slightly: "The ocean is not our home ground, so let's not worry about it for now. Let those guys from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King have their headaches." She precisely shifted the conflict to the sea spirit beast overlord within the spirit beast realm.

……

Poseidon Island, Poseidon Temple. Poseidon herself stood before the temple, gazing up at the sky, a complex smile playing on her exquisite face.

"My Seagod Island is only ranked fifth... The assessment by Heaven is quite accurate. I just wonder what kind of extraordinary opportunities those ranked in the top four have encountered?"

She felt the sea god's light grow more approachable, and the [Tidal Sacred Pearl] gathering atop the mountain. Her heart was filled with a deeper mix of worry and anticipation regarding the future of the continent. "The gears of fate are turning even faster..."

……

Haotian Sect.

The crowd's expressions turned solemn. The power of Seagod Island made them realize their own limitations once again. "Such strong reinforcements from overseas... the future situation on the continent is becoming increasingly complex."

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Yu Yuanzhen could only smile bitterly: "Another unattainable behemoth... The only way to survive is to closely follow Honkai Academy."

The appearance of Poseidon Island showcases a mature and powerful model of divine inheritance, unlike any other power on the continent, bringing a systemic shock.

However, compared to Honkai Impact 3rd, this "maturity" only highlights its "limitations".

The further down the Opportunity Ranking goes, the more it reveals the terrifying potential and scale of Honkai Academy that transcends common sense and points directly to the source!

……

The golden light of the Heavenly Ranking shimmered, and the dreamlike, misty scenery of the Valley of Love and Destiny vanished like smoke.

Immediately afterwards, the image on the screen suddenly split into two distinct colors: red and blue!
An intense heat and a bone-chilling cold intertwined and permeated the air, making countless people feel as if half of their body was in a furnace and the other half was trapped in an ice cellar, even through the light screen!
The scene focuses on a pristine and strange valley.

In the center of the valley, a huge spring is clearly visible, half of the spring water is a blazing red, and it is bubbling with bubbles like lava.

The other half is a deep, vast expanse, radiating a chilling aura like ancient ice. The red and blue spring waters blend together without encroaching on each other, forming a magnificent yet dangerous yin-yang symbol.

Even more astonishing is that around this ice-fire spring, the dense, tangible elemental energy of heaven and earth rises like mist, nourishing countless exotic flowers and plants.

Those plants were all rare and precious plants that had long been extinct in the outside world. Some spewed flames, some were surrounded by frost, and some shimmered with seven-colored light. Their medicinal fragrance almost permeated the sky!

A gigantic, ancient tree phantom, radiating a powerful life force, enveloped the entire valley. Its roots seemed to have penetrated deep into the spring, harmonizing the extreme power of ice and fire, giving it a strange vitality amidst its ferocity.

[Ranking on the Fortuitous Opportunities List, Fourth Place - The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire]

[Location of the Opportunity: Originally located deep within Sunset Forest, a naturally formed treasure basin. It is now completely under the control of the Honkai Academy, incorporated into the Academy's core territory, and protected by the Academy's barrier and the power of the Ancient Tree of Life.]

[Opportunity Description: This place is where the ancient Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell, and their dragon souls and dragon cores intertwined with the underground spiritual veins, forming a wonder of heaven and earth over ten thousand years – the "Treasure Basin"!]
The spring itself contains the ultimate power of ice and fire, and its water has the miraculous effect of "ice and fire refining the body". It can greatly temper the physical body, purify the soul power and temper the will, but only those with strong physical body or great perseverance can withstand it.

At the same time, this place is nourished by the breath of the Ice and Fire Dragon King and the earth's veins, which can accelerate plant growth a thousandfold and cause it to undergo a positive transformation!
The valley is home to countless rare and precious medicinal herbs, such as the Eight-Starred Ice Grass, the Fiery Apricot, the Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, the Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, and the Heartbreaking Red of Longing.

These miraculous herbs have incredible effects; they can instantly boost a huge amount of soul power, temper one's physique and transform one's body, make up for defects in one's martial soul, or even promote the evolution of one's martial soul. Some can even bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded!
Furthermore, this place has been modified by the Honkai Academy through unknown means, incorporating the power of the Ancient Tree of Life. Its nourishing effects, the quality of its medicinal herbs, and the refining power of its springs far surpass its original state, making it a truly unique and blessed land!

[Heavenly Reward: Heaven, moved by the wonder of creation, bestows upon us a divine blessing of sublime elevation:]

Ice and Fire Origin Sublimation: The Ice and Fire Dragon King's primordial power contained in the spring is purified and activated, increasing the tempering effect by 20%, and doubling the nourishing speed and effect on plant-type soul beasts and immortal herbs!

A supreme treasure descends—the Yin-Yang Dragon Soul Essence: at the core of the spring, it condenses nine strands of strange energy that combine a trace of the Ice and Fire Dragon King's original dragon soul with the essence of the Ancient Tree of Life.

This essence can be incorporated into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring, permanently improving the quality of the spring water; it can also be absorbed by plant-type soul beasts or specific immortal herbs, with a very high probability of causing their strength to surge or undergo a fundamental evolution!
At the same time, a randomly selected celestial herb within the valley will be enlightened by the Heavenly Dao, its spirituality greatly enhanced, and its medicinal effects undergo an unknown positive mutation!
