People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

Upon seeing this, the spirit of the ancestral stone in Xiao Ling's body immediately took action. A soft light flashed, and it steadily collected the soul origin into the vast space inside the ancestral stone.

Then, the voice of the Ancestral Stone Spirit sounded again, revealing a certain seriousness: "Don't worry, I will carefully purify the negative emotions in the origin of this soul, and then properly transform it. Then, it will become pure energy that will be of great benefit to you. You only need to wait patiently. If you need anything, just call me."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, his heart full of anticipation. With the help of the spirit of the ancestral stone, he became more and more full of anticipation for the role that the origin of the soul could play in the future.

After dealing with the important matter of the origin of the soul, Xiao Ling discussed the many situations inside the Soul Palace in detail with Reverend Qinghai and others.

Xiao Ling expressed some of his ideas and plans one by one, and made a series of detailed discussions and strategies regarding many aspects such as the current situation in the Soul Palace and personnel arrangements.

After everything was explained, Xiao Ling had an idea and used a secret method to bring Reverend Qinghai and others into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

There are many targets for them to hunt in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner at this moment, so they can give full play to their skills and get more opportunities to improve their strength.

After giving those banner slaves some substantial benefits, Xiao Ling carefully selected a dozen Dou Zun-level banner slaves to stay, and then called Qinghai Zun to his side and instructed:

"Qinghai, find an opportunity later and take them to the Soul Palace's high-level officials to register and try to get them to join the Soul Palace smoothly. In this way, we can place more of our own people in the Soul Palace, and it will be easier for me to obtain information from within the Soul Palace in the future. As for the origins of these people, you can arrange it yourself. I believe you have the ability to do so."

Reverend Qinghai quickly responded respectfully, patting his chest and promising that he would get the matter done and would never let Xiao Ling down.

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. Seeing that everything was arranged properly, he did not delay any longer. With a flash of his body, he turned into a stream of light and left the Soul Palace branch alone in a leisurely manner.

His figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling through the still eerie and strange Dark Abyss Ghost Valley. After a while, he was out of the valley and headed straight towards the place where Zi Yan and the others were resting temporarily.

When Xiao Ling appeared in the resting place, Zi Yan and the others were looking forward to it with some curiosity. Now seeing him return safely, they immediately showed joy on their faces. They hurriedly went to greet him and asked about Xiao Ling's trip.

Facing everyone's inquiries, Xiao Ling just made up an excuse, saying that he went to the surrounding mountains to search for opportunities, but unfortunately he didn't find anything too rare and good, so he came back. Everyone didn't suspect anything after hearing this, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Afterwards, everyone took a short rest in this resting place to recuperate, then they packed up their belongings again and set out on the journey back to the northwest continent.

……

Northwestern continent, the Black Domain Plain.

Looking at the vast plain, it seems as if the earth has no boundaries and stretches endlessly into the distance.

The ground is covered with black jade-like stones of different sizes, which are inlaid in the earth in a staggered manner. Under the reflection of the sun, they have a faint cold luster, as if telling the traces left by time.

Occasionally, a few tough weeds would poke their heads out from the cracks in the rocks with difficulty, trembling in the wind, highlighting the desolation and loneliness of this land.

In the distant sky, a slender black shadow flashed like lightning, cutting through the slightly gloomy sky.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the slender and majestic Rayquaza. It stretched its body with an agile posture, and was flying across the sky at an extremely fast speed.

And at the place where the dragon head of the Split Sky Throne was held high, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan stood side by side, standing quietly, looking ahead.

At this moment, a trace of alertness flashed across Zi Yan's lively eyes, as if she had suddenly noticed something unusual. She quickly raised her slender finger forward, then slightly tilted her head, looked at Xiao Ling beside her, and said:

"Xiao Ling, look over there, there seems to be a black storm raging, the momentum doesn't look right. Should we avoid it first?"

"What are you afraid of? Just rush forward. These are just small winds and waves. To Rayquaza, it's just a matter of a thought." After hearing Zi Yan's words, Xiao Ling just chuckled with an indifferent look on his face.

You know, Rayquaza itself has the powerful ability to calm all kinds of severe weather.

A mere black storm might be a natural disaster that must be avoided in the eyes of ordinary people, but with the current strength of Rayquaza, if it wanted to, even freezing the black storm directly would be a completely easy and effortless thing.

After hearing Xiao Ling's confident words, a hint of contempt flashed in Liekongzuo's huge eyes, as if the black storm was not worth mentioning at all in its eyes.

Then, it let out a loud and loud neigh towards the sky, and its slender and agile body twisted violently. The flying speed of its entire body instantly increased a few points. With an indomitable momentum, it rushed straight towards the overwhelming black storm in front of it.

When the black storm approached the Rayquaza, it seemed to be suddenly hit by an invisible and powerful resistance. The originally raging violent airflow miraculously stabilized where the Rayquaza passed.

The whistling wind suddenly stopped, the dust stopped flying wildly, everything became quiet, and there was no more abnormality.

It was as if the black storm in front of Rayquaza instantly retracted all its power and made way for it.

And when Rayquaza completely passed through the black storm, the scene below also changed slightly.

A few people looked down and saw that on the originally desolate and silent Black Jade Plain, they could occasionally see a few cities built there in an orderly manner.

Looking further away, there were still many pedestrians walking across the vast black plain, which added a bit of liveliness to the scene and no longer seemed as lonely as before.

At this time, the Little Medical Fairy walked to Xiao Ling's side. She gently stroked a strand of hair on her forehead, then looked at the vague outline of the large city in her sight. A trace of anticipation flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but chuckled and said softly, "It seems that the Black Horn Region is almost here."

Xiao Ling also nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, his eyes filled with a mixture of emotion and expectation.

"After so many years, we are finally going to come back. Looking back on those days in the academy, they are still vivid in my mind. I don't know what Canaan Academy has become now, but it must be more prosperous."

Chapter 537 The Development of the Academy

Since Xiao Ling and his group left Canaan College, the college's development momentum has been quite rapid in recent years.

Several years ago, Canaan Academy launched a series of operations and successively wiped out several old sects in the Black Horn Region.

Even the Demon Flame Valley, which was ruled by a Seven-Star Dou Zong, could not escape the fate of being wiped out because of Xiao Ling's secret attack.

After such development, Canaan Academy has naturally become the most powerful force in the Black Horn Region. Its position is as solid as a rock and no one can shake it in the slightest.

Of course, Canaan Academy is not only strong enough to stand out in the Black Horn Region, but it has also made great progress in terms of influence.

Xiao Ling's background was no secret in Zhongzhou. If one was willing to inquire carefully, one would know that Xiao Ling graduated from Canaan College.

When everyone learned that Canaan College was able to cultivate a genius like Xiao Ling, the families in Zhongzhou became more willing to send their talented children to Canaan College for training.

You know, although Canaan College was quite famous before, due to various reasons, most families with a little bit of strength were not willing to send their geniuses to Canaan College.

Of course, since Xiao Ling set an example, the slight suspicion that everyone had about the educational ability of Canaan College has completely disappeared.

Since Canaan College could produce a genius like Xiao Ling, who wouldn't want their own children to be as outstanding as Xiao Ling? Even if they could only learn one tenth of his abilities and talents, they would be overjoyed.

Now that the situation has changed, the number of families willing to send their children here has naturally increased, and the number of talented students in Canaan College has naturally increased a lot.

In addition to the above reasons, many alchemists have recently taken the initiative to join Canaan College. This happened because the news that Xiao Ling won the first place in the Alchemy Association spread like wildfire.

Xiao Ling was able to refine nine-color eighth-grade elixirs at such a young age, and thus won the championship in the alchemy competition.

Many people secretly speculated that Xiao Ling might have had some adventure in Canaan College.

Influenced by such rumors, many alchemists resolutely left Zhongzhou and traveled thousands of miles to the Black Horn region in the northwest of the continent, just to join Canaan Academy and explore the mysteries that might be hidden there.

Although the alchemists who joined Canaan College due to the above reasons were generally of low rank, and most of them had not yet reached the level of first-rank alchemists, even if they were only fifth-rank or sixth-rank alchemists, they were considered extremely rare figures in Canaan College and even in the entire Northwest Continent.

With the addition of these people, Canaan College naturally gained more opportunities for development, and its development path became smoother.

Today, Canaan College is steadily moving towards a better and better future, and its future is bright. Its reputation as "the No. 1 College in the Doudou Continent" has long been well-deserved.

Of course, the teachers and students of Canaan College all knew very well that the reason why the college had such a huge impact and undergone such great changes was because of the existence of that young man.

Today is another extremely joyous day for Canaan College. New students are admitted and old students are promoted to the inner courtyard. With the double happiness coming, the college specially held a grand ceremony.

For a moment, the entire college was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and the cheerful atmosphere seemed to be everywhere.

The ceremony square was packed with people, and their laughter and cheers merged into a torrent of sound, rising straight into the sky with great momentum. The scene was quite spectacular.

In the center of the square stood several large-scale arenas. At this moment, fighting spirits were blazing on the arenas, and figures were moving back and forth. The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the battle was extremely intense.

Occasionally, winners emerge. They stand on the stage with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, attracting the gazes of many beautiful girls in the audience, whose eyes are full of admiration.

Because of this ceremony, the entire college was filled with the youthful vigor and vitality, as if a vibrant painting was slowly unfolding.

In the center of the arenas, stood two huge stone statues.

The person depicted in one of the stone statues has an old face, revealing the charm of time; while the other stone statue shows the image of a young and handsome person, and judging from his appearance, his age seems to be almost the same as those of the students present.

This situation made some newcomers who had just entered the academy feel confused, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder what the origins of these two stone statues were.

"Senior, one of those two statues is the legendary dean, but who is the other one? He's so handsome!"

Several young girls, full of youthful energy, chattered around a tall woman, their eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, you finally asked the right person! You must have heard of that man's name. He is the most outstanding student to have graduated from Canaan College since its establishment, and he is also the youngest elder in the history of the college."

The woman raised her chin slightly and spoke with a proud look on her face, as if she was proud of it.

"I heard that when he was only sixteen years old, his cultivation had already reached the Dou Zong level, and even his alchemy skills had entered the seventh level. He is truly a genius, a peerless monster."

Hearing the woman's explanation, the girls surrounding her were stunned at first, and then they all cast their beautiful eyes towards the huge statue, their eyes full of curiosity and exploration.

One of the tall women stared at the statue with a strange look in her eyes. After a little thought, she had the answer in her mind. She couldn't help but smile and said.

"From what you said, this couldn't be Senior Xiao Ling, right? I've heard of his name before, but I didn't expect him to be so amazing!"

"He left Canaan College several years ago, and this statue was only erected not long ago. I heard from an elder last time that he seemed to have gone to Zhongzhou, which is a legendary place full of powerful people. So, don't let your wishful thinking foolishly come to you."

A purple-haired girl next to the tall woman couldn't help but laugh and joked.

"Hmph, I think it's you, senior sister, who is thinking about him in your heart?" another girl retorted mischievously.

"You're looking for a beating..." The woman pretended to be angry and pretended to chase the girl. Suddenly, laughter and joyful chatter rang out around them, and the atmosphere was extremely cheerful.

……

On the high platform, Su Qian quietly looked at the lively scene in the square, and a faint smile appeared on his old face. Then, he slowly raised his head, his eyes fell on the two statues in the square, and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

If you count carefully, it has been several years since Xiao Ling and the others left.

I don’t know if Xiao Ling encountered the unreliable dean after he went to Zhongzhou.

In his spare time, he sent so many messages to the dean, hoping that he could help look after Xiao Ling in Zhongzhou, but he was not sure whether he had seen those messages.

However, I heard that Xiao Ling is doing quite well outside now. It seems that the dean doesn't need to take care of him.

Recalling the news about Xiao Ling that Su Qian had heard from those alchemists who came from Zhongzhou and joined Canaan Academy not long ago, it became increasingly difficult for him to suppress the upward curve of his lips.

"Champion of the Alchemy Contest, the master of refining nine-color eighth-grade elixirs, the best alchemist on the continent. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for several years, you have already developed to this level..."

Although Canaan College has attracted many talented people over the years, when compared with Xiao Ling, those people immediately seem to pale in comparison.

"Old man Su, why did you run out today instead of staying in the inner courtyard?" At this time, a voice came from behind him. Su Qian didn't need to look back to know that the person who spoke was Vice President Hu Qian.

Soon after, the sound of tables and chairs being moved was heard nearby, and Hu Qian, Elder Huo and others took their seats one after another.

"Haha, it's boring staying in the inner courtyard all the time, so I came out to see you guys." Su Qian responded with a smile.

"You don't know, since more and more students have joined Canaan College, I have more and more things to take care of. Look, I have a lot more white hair."

Hu Qian shook his head helplessly as he spoke, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Elder Huo also nodded and agreed, "That's true. Although the Alchemy Department of Canaan College is becoming more and more prosperous, the alchemists from Zhongzhou are very arrogant. If Xiao Ling hadn't left me a lot of knowledge about alchemy before he left, so that I could be a little better than them in this aspect, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my position as the chief elder of the Alchemy Department."

"Haha, you think you are busy, so you think I have nothing to do all day long? There are more and more students in the inner courtyard now, and I have a lot of things to worry about. Otherwise, don't you see that there are more wrinkles on my head? This is all caused by all the hard work these days."

Su Qian chuckled and responded without showing any weakness.

After hearing what Su Qian said, Hu Qian and Elder Huo couldn't help but look at each other at the same time, secretly complaining in their hearts, "How old are you, old man? Those wrinkles on your face have been there for who knows how many years, and you still insist that they are caused by overwork. Do you really think we are blind?"

"Grandpa, Elder Su Qian, Elder Huo..."
