Analysis Progress Soars! Progress Reaches 10%!

Beyond Peace Town, past a dense primeval forest, stood a magnificent, ancient city of immense size.

This was Jia Nan City, which existed under the protection of Jia Nan Academy.

Without the formidable power of Jia Nan Academy, a city as vast and magnificent as this ancient one would have been picked clean by the many factions of the Black-Corner Region long ago.

The flying magical beast flew high above Jia Nan City before finally descending toward a sprawling complex of buildings.

Xiao Yao looked out the window, gazing down at Jia Nan Academy from high above.

Within the academy, buildings stood in orderly rows, while towers and halls of every style were scattered like stars across the grounds, giving it an air of ancient grandeur.

Ancient bluestone paths crisscrossed the grounds, linking the varied buildings in their pleasing arrangement. Old pines stood tall, and willows twisted and curled, making for a scene brimming with life.

Figures in academy uniforms could often be seen walking along the old paths or entering and leaving the towers and halls.

As they gradually descended, Xiao Yao saw clearly that this was an immense bluestone plaza built for the purpose.

Rows of buildings stood along one side of the plaza, and the roars of magical beasts rang out from within. Clearly, this was a place for raising flying magical beasts.

A large crowd of students had gathered around the plaza, milling about in a lively bustle.

These students had clearly come to see the new arrivals. Whenever a good-looking student stepped off a flying magical beast, a commotion would break out.

When Xiao Yao, Xun'er, and Xiao Yi Xian appeared together, the commotion in the crowd grew even more intense.

Pairs of burning eyes fell on the three of them, their fervor undisguised.

Besides the gazes from the female students, Xiao Yao felt even more looks of envy and jealousy from the male students.

The emotions in those gazes were so intense that even Xiao Yao felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Xiao Yao glanced at Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian beside him and felt it was only to be expected.

With two such peerless beauties at his side, how could he not attract envious and jealous looks?

But even if they wanted to come and make trouble for him, they would need the ability to do so.

Without strength, they would only end up in a sorry state.

Of course, most people would not be so impulsive as to come straight to Xiao Yao looking for trouble. Instead, they would ask around about his background.

Once they learned about Xiao Yao's circumstances, they would naturally back off in the face of difficulty. That was the benefit strength brought.

Once his enrollment had been arranged, Xiao Yao obtained a certificate of approval from Instructor Ruo Lin and, with his student identification card as well, headed straight for Jia Nan Academy's Library Hall.

One of his reasons for coming to Jia Nan Academy was its collection of books.

Now that he had finally reached the academy, he naturally had no wish to delay any longer.

On the way to the academy, they had frequently landed to rest.

At those times, the instructors had taken the opportunity to explain some of the academy's basic rules to the students.

It was then that Xiao Yao had made a point of asking Instructor Ruo Lin about it.

Xiao Yao walked along an ancient bluestone path, following the signs by the roadside, and soon arrived before an immense hall.

Above the hall were three large characters written in strokes that danced like dragons and phoenixes: Library Hall.

The characters were vigorous and powerful, their bearing majestic.

Xiao Yao merely glanced at them before heading straight inside.

An emaciated old man lay swaying in a reclining chair by the entrance. When he saw Xiao Yao, he raised a hand.

"An unfamiliar face? A new student?"

Xiao Yao was somewhat surprised.

There were no small number of students in the Outer Academy, yet the old man actually knew them all and had recognized him as an unfamiliar face at a glance.

"Yes, Instructor. I've long been eager to visit the academy's Library Hall. This is the certificate of approval I requested from my instructor."

Xiao Yao took out his student card and handed over the certificate as well.

The old man glanced at them and nodded.

"So you're one of that girl Ruo Lin's students. With this certificate, you can go up to the second floor. The books there are all precious original ancient texts, so don't damage them."

The old man offered that word of warning, and Xiao Yao naturally nodded in agreement.

Inside the Library Hall, quite a few students were engrossed in reading, while others worked there as guides.

After asking a few questions, Xiao Yao headed straight for the section containing records of the continent's mountains and rivers.

Row upon row of bookshelves stretched toward the very depths of the hall, their ends nowhere in sight.

Xiao Yao walked among the shelves, occasionally pulling out a book to leaf through it.

As for records concerning the sun, the academy clearly had far more books than the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yao felt he could hardly take it all in. As he read, his understanding of the Dou Qi Continent's sun grew deeper.

At the same time, his solar analysis progress on the panel gradually increased.

"The sun holds the most eminent position among the stars. Its rays shine for ten thousand lengths, illuminating all things, and all growth depends upon the sun..."

"The sun holds the most eminent position among the stars. When the sun appears, the stars vanish and day breaks; when the sun disappears, the stars appear and night falls..."

"Countless stars coexist in the Grand Void Star Domain, each following its own pattern of motion as it revolves around the continent..."

When Xiao Ya read this, his eyes lit up, and everything suddenly became clear. His analysis progress shot up by 2%, pushing it all the way to 10.8%.

Previously, although Xiao Yao had known that this was not the same sun, a star, as in his previous life, he had not known exactly how the sun moved above the Dou Qi Continent.

Only now, upon seeing this record of the stars' movements, did he suddenly understand.

The increase in analysis progress on the panel also confirmed whether the contents of the book were correct.

This discovery was comparable to the introduction of the heliocentric theory in his previous life, when the understanding that the stars revolved around the Earth changed to the Earth revolving around the sun.

From the academy's records concerning the sun, Xiao Yao also learned that the sun over the Dou Qi Continent was indeed not a star like the sun.

The sun was more like an aggregation of vitality and energy, shining upon all things and bringing them vitality.

At the same time, the sun also revolved around the continent within the Grand Void Star Domain!

In other words, the sun revolved around the Dou Qi Continent, not the continent around the sun.

Yet even after seeing through the sun's pattern of movement, his analysis progress had only just reached 10%.

Increasing his analysis progress was far more difficult than Xiao Yao had expected.

Could it be that to reach 100% analysis, I'll have to take the sun apart and study it thoroughly, inside and out?

Realizing this, Xiao Yao could not help scratching his head in dismay.

Although the original work described a Dou Di as standing above heaven and earth, Xiao Yao did not think a Dou Di could actually take the sun apart.

In other words, even if he broke through to Dou Di, he most likely would not be able to reach 100% analysis.

To accomplish this difficult feat, Xiao Yao wondered whether he would have to wait until he reached the Heavenly Sovereign level.

After all, a single strike from a Heavenly Sovereign was enough to destroy an entire lower plane.

If one could destroy an entire lower plane, then taking apart a sun should be easy.
