As the teacher entered the classroom and began to lecture, all the students quieted down.
After all, everyone who came to the academy dreamed of making a name for themselves, becoming a renowned powerhouse on the Continent, capable of summoning wind and rain and standing alone.
Therefore, many people say that the most serious class they ever attended was the first one.
“First, let’s talk about Tian Yuan Power. The so-called Tian Yuan Power actually begins with ‘Tian Yuan.’ What is Tian Yuan? It is the most basic substance that makes up the entire vast Han Universe.”
“Whether it’s mountains and rivers, or birds and beasts, or even Strange Beasts and us humans, no matter what it is, everything is composed of Tian Yuan. What you see, hear, and smell, is all Tian Yuan. Humans themselves are a synthesis of Tian Yuan, and Tian Yuan Power is how much power humans can mobilize from their own Tian Yuan.”
“Controlling oneself, mobilizing the Tian Yuan throughout the body, and even mobilizing the world’s Tian Yuan Power with one’s own Tian Yuan Power, all of these require talent. Most people can never sense the existence of Tian Yuan Power in their lifetime, let alone use Tian Yuan Power, while some people are born with the ability to use Tian Yuan Power. This is the difference in talent.”
“Thus, based on talent, some outstanding individuals among humans and beasts who could use Tian Yuan Power emerged, known as Celestial Masters and Strange Beasts. Throughout history, Celestial Masters and Strange Beasts have all, by coincidence, been divided into nine ranks, with each rank representing a qualitative change and a huge disparity. And whether it’s a Celestial Master or a Strange Beast, starting from the sixth rank, there will be a huge leap.”
“However, the strength within each rank is not the same. For example, I, your teacher, am only a Second-Level Celestial Master, but I am not considered much within the same Realm, because I am only in the Early Stage of a Second-Level Celestial Master. The span of each Realm is very large, and it is a very long distance to go from the initial entry into a Realm to its peak.”
“As for Realm Breakthrough, it is an even greater chasm. People with high talent naturally have a greater probability of entering the next Realm, but it is not absolute. I have seen many people with four or five light pillars remain stuck at Second-Level Celestial Master, unable to advance further. Realm Breakthrough is not as simple as just effort.”
“…”
In the corner, Fu Yu slightly furrowed her brows, listening to the knowledge the teacher was explaining. This knowledge was indeed very basic, so basic that even common folk would know a thing or two, let alone her.
She looked out the window listlessly, watching butterflies and dragonflies fly by, and after a while, she retracted her gaze, only to find Lu An, who was sitting beside her, listening with exceptional seriousness.
Lu An sat very straight, motionless, his brows slightly furrowed, listening intently to every word Han Ying said.
Fu Yu was a bit surprised. Looking at the other students in the room who were becoming increasingly lax due to Han Ying's basic knowledge, then looking at Lu An, the contrast was very obvious.
“Alright, we’ve talked so much about Realm matters, let’s get back to the main topic.” Han Ying looked around, seeing some students who didn’t want to listen, and said with a smile, “Let’s talk about the Tian Yuan Power that everyone wants to know most about.”
As soon as she said this, all the students immediately perked up, looking up at Han Ying with wide eyes!
“I just said that Tian Yuan Power is the power of the Tian Yuan within our bodies, so what exactly does it look like?” Han Ying deliberately drew out her voice, building suspense. Only when the students were somewhat impatient did she gently raise her hand and say, “I will now demonstrate it for everyone.”
Upon finishing her words, above Han Ying’s open palm, the originally calm air suddenly became blurry. Although it was still transparent, looking through that air at Teacher Han Ying’s collar, it had already become distorted!
A gasp erupted throughout the room. Although most here were children of wealthy families, not every Family was wealthy enough to afford a Celestial Master.
Lu An, even more so, frowned tightly, carefully observing the object in Han Ying's hand.
“This is the form of Tian Yuan Power. In fact, due to my strength as a teacher, the Tian Yuan Power released is not pure. Powerful Celestial Masters can release completely invisible Tian Yuan Power, but this most basic Tian Yuan Power has no offensive capabilities and can only be used to heal people. Therefore, to give Tian Yuan Power more abilities, we need to transform it.”
“I just said that Tian Yuan is the origin of all things in the Han Universe, and everything is composed of Tian Yuan. Therefore, the Tian Yuan Power we release can also transform into anything.”
Saying this, Han Ying smiled and said, “Like this.”
Swish!
The Tian Yuan Power in Han Ying’s hand instantly flickered, surprisingly transforming into a burning flame!
“Like this!” Han Ying smiled again, and then saw the flame transform again, surprisingly turning into a rhomboid ice crystal!
“And like this.”
The ice crystal instantly shattered, and after rapidly spinning, it surprisingly transformed into a small piece of wood.
Then, with a smile on Han Ying’s face, the wood transformed into a water mass, then into steel, then into soil…
Watching the constantly changing Tian Yuan Power in Han Ying’s hand, gasps of astonishment erupted repeatedly in the classroom.
Although Lu An remained silent and sat with a furrowed brow, a clear hint of longing appeared in his eyes.
After demonstrating for a while, Han Ying saw that the students’ interest had been fully aroused, so she put away her Tian Yuan Power and continued with a smile, “But Tian Yuan Power being able to transform into all forms is only theoretical. In reality, the five most basic forms our Tian Yuan Power can transform into are the well-known Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These five forms can be transformed by everyone. As for more powerful forms, that requires unremitting effort.”
“Furthermore, some forms cannot be achieved no matter how much effort is put in; they require powerful talent. And in our vast Eight Ancient Continent, some forms cannot be achieved even by the most talented individuals, but rather require a specific Bloodline Legacy.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the students immediately gasped. They knew the teacher was about to explain things about the Eight Ancient Continent, and immediately pricked up their ears to listen!
Lu An was the same; his understanding of the Eight Ancient Continent was simply too little, while Fu Yu, sitting beside him, slightly furrowed her brows, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
“There are some Families with unique Bloodlines. Because of their distinct Bloodlines, their Tian Yuan Power can transform into forms that others cannot achieve.” Han Ying said, her expression becoming serious, “The forms their Tian Yuan Power transforms into are more powerful and more intimidating, and these forms that require special Bloodlines to manifest, we call them Destiny Wheels.”
“The Destiny Wheel can be said to be a higher level of Tian Yuan, and the Tian Yuan Power it manifests is even more powerful. For instance, in recent years, there is a Sect in the north called ‘Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect’. Seven years ago, a powerhouse from the Sect took action, using an incredibly powerful hundred-story giant pagoda to suppress a city, completely engulfing the entire city, and finally forcing the nation to concede!”
All the students gasped upon hearing this!
A giant pagoda that could suppress an entire city? How powerful must that be!
All the students tried their best to imagine that scene; surely the divine pagoda would be wider than a mountain and taller than the sky! The image of that divine pagoda soaring into the clouds filled the students with longing for power!
Lu An listened, but he wasn’t completely captivated by the story like the others. He maintained his furrowed brow, deep in thought. And as he was thinking, he heard a faint sound beside him.
“It’s just a broken pagoda, what’s there to brag about?”
Lu An was startled, turning to look at Fu Yu. Fu Yu also glanced at him, but said nothing, turning her head to look out the window.
Lu An didn't ask either. Everyone had their secrets, so he turned back to continue listening to the teacher's lecture.
“Generally speaking, Clans with Destiny Wheels are usually very powerful. The unique forms transformed by using the Destiny Wheel all possess their own abilities. Of course, Destiny Wheels are not common, and there isn't a single such Family within the Starfire City area.”
At this point, Han Ying coughed twice and said, “That’s enough about Tian Yuan Power. Now, I will explain the overall situation of the Eight Ancient Continent. I presume many of you are already impatient to hear about the legendary Seven Sects and Thirty-Six Gates, aren’t you?”
