Three Years of Sign-Ins, Breaking Through to Limit Douluo

Douluo Continent, deep within Sunset Forest.

This place was shrouded in colorful poisonous miasma year-round, with Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts lurking within. Even Titled Douluo did not dare set foot here lightly.

Yet in this land abandoned by mortals stood an ancient, unadorned academy.

Big Dipper Academy.

The academy's Central Plaza was paved with white jade and spacious enough to hold a thousand people.

At the center of the plaza, a black-haired young man lay lazily on a bamboo rocking chair, his eyes half-closed as if dozing.

His name was Lu Xiao. He had transmigrated here three years ago.

[Ding! Daily sign-in successful.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: one year of cultivation advancement, Random Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Box ×1.]

The mechanical voice rang in Lu Xiao's mind, but he could not even be bothered to open his eyes.

It had been three years since he had bound this "Sign-in System" on the day he transmigrated.

Every day, he did nothing but eat and sleep, yet his cultivation soared as if it had been strapped to a rocket.

On the first day of signing in, he directly gained Titled Douluo-level Soul Power.

On the three-hundredth day, his Soul Power broke through Level 95, and he became a Super Douluo.

On the seven-hundredth day, he reached Level 98.

And just moments ago—

A power beyond description had poured into his entire body from the Void, making every cell leap and cheer.

His Soul Power was as boundless as a vast ocean, and his spiritual perception instantly covered the entirety of Sunset Forest.

Level Ninety-nine Limit Douluo!

"Three years after coming to this world, I've finally become a Limit Douluo. It really wasn't easy."

Lu Xiao opened his eyes and lazily stretched, though there was not the slightest sincerity in his tone when he said it had not been easy.

If outsiders heard him, they would surely cough up three liters of blood.

Others needed centuries of hard training to reach such a realm, yet he had slept and signed in for three years to achieve it—and still dared to sigh about how difficult it was?

However, at the very instant Lu Xiao broke through—

Boom!

The entire world was suddenly enveloped by a streak of Golden Light.

The light was vast and majestic, containing supreme Divine Might. Even Lu Xiao, who had just advanced to Limit Douluo, felt his heart tremble.

"God-level Power?"

Lu Xiao sat upright, his brows slightly furrowed.

In the sky, the Golden Light gathered into a boundless Sky Screen.

It stretched across the entire Douluo Continent. No matter where one stood, one could see it simply by looking up.

On the Sky Screen, radiant clouds flowed as three ancient characters gradually emerged:

[Martial Soul Ranking]

Then, lines of small golden text appeared, their contents simultaneously resounding in the minds of every Living Being:

[The Douluo Heavenly Dao manifests, unveiling the Martial Soul Ranking and reviewing the twenty strongest Martial Souls of the present age.]

[Rankings will be comprehensively assessed based on Martial Soul Quality, potential, degree of development, the holder's talent, and more.]

[All those on the ranking will receive blessings from the Heavenly Dao. Rewards will differ according to rank.]

Lu Xiao's expression turned strange as he watched the phenomenon in the sky.

"Could this be some butterfly effect caused by my system?"

He muttered under his breath, then shook his head. "Whatever. As long as no Deity appears, I am invincible."

"So what if I'm exposed? This academy could not stay hidden much longer anyway."

Just as Lu Xiao had expected, the instant the Sky Screen appeared, the entirety of Big Dipper Academy was alarmed.

Figures flashed over from every corner of the academy to the Central Plaza. They gazed up at the strange scene in the sky, their faces filled with shock and curiosity.

The first to arrive were three Girls with entirely different styles.

One wore a pale green dress. Her elegant demeanor carried a trace of pride. She was Dugu Yan, granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Three years ago, when Lu Xiao had forcefully occupied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,

Dugu Bo witnessed his unfathomable strength and decisively backed down.

Not only did he surrender the treasured land, but he also sent his granddaughter to the academy to "study."

The second girl wore black, with a voluptuous figure and stunning beauty, though her eyes were as cold as ice.

She was Zhu Zhuqing, daughter of the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire. She had ventured deep into Sunset Forest to escape her family's fate.

It happened to coincide with the system issuing a "recruit students" mission, so Lu Xiao had "invited" her in.

The last girl came running over in hops and skips. She wore a Blue Dress, her eyes lively, her entire body radiating both nobility and cheerfulness.

She was none other than Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

When she had run away from home and accidentally entered Sunset Forest, she too had been guided by a system mission and become a member of Big Dipper Academy.

"Dean, Dean!"

The moment Ning Rongrong spotted Lu Xiao on the rocking chair, she jogged over and said speechlessly, "A golden screen suddenly appeared in the sky. How can you still be lying there so calmly?"

"It's been three years! All you do is eat and sleep. Can't you act a little more like a dean?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly to the side, but her gaze keenly observed Lu Xiao's reaction.

During her time at the academy, she had increasingly felt that both this dean and the entire academy were shrouded in mystery.

The teachers here had never displayed their Martial Souls or Soul Rings, yet they always gave her a feeling of unfathomable depth.

Especially Dean Lu Xiao. Though he appeared indolent, he possessed a temperament that transcended the Mortal World, inspiring awe.

Dugu Yan also stepped closer curiously. "Dean, the sky says it's a Martial Soul Ranking, ranking the twenty strongest Martial Souls in the world!"

"Do you think my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor can make the list?"

With the academy's resources, her Martial Soul had long evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, a top-tier Beast Martial Soul.

Lu Xiao yawned and lazily replied, "Why rush? You'll naturally find out in three days."

Ning Rongrong clenched her small fists excitedly. "My Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support Martial Soul in the world! It'll definitely make the top five! I wonder what reward the Heavenly Dao will give me!"

It was precisely with the academy's help that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

A strange expression appeared on Lu Xiao's face when he heard that.

On the Douluo Continent of the past, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would indeed have been firmly within the top five.

But now...

Among the Martial Souls of those "freaks" in the academy, which one was inferior to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?

Zhu Zhuqing also nodded lightly, clearly sharing Ning Rongrong's view.

Before Lu Xiao could explain, a clear voice sounded from nearby:

"Enough. Class is starting. Everyone, gather up! Today, we'll conduct combat training!"

The newcomer was a young man in white robes, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist and an unrestrained, carefree air about him.

Though he stood there casually, he seemed to have merged with heaven and earth.

At the sight of him, the three girls immediately stopped chatting and hurriedly straightened up. "Yes, Teacher Li Bai!"

Li Bai lazily took a sip of wine and said casually, "Same rules as always. The three of you attack together. If you can touch even the corner of my clothes, you pass the assessment, and everyone gets full marks."

The moment his words fell, the three of them moved at once!

"Nine Treasures Manifest Glazed Tile: First, Strength! Second, Speed! Third, Soul!"

Ning Rongrong immediately summoned her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Nine-Colored Light enveloped the entire field, enhancing her teammates.

Zhu Zhuqing activated Martial Soul Possession, transforming into a Hell Spirit Cat. Her figure darted out like Gui Mei, striking directly at Li Bai's flank.

Dugu Yan released Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison. Green poisonous mist spread out, sealing off Li Bai's retreat.
