Lin Yuan heard his name and slowly withdrew his thoughts, standing up from the spacious chair.
His expression remained as calm as still water, without the slightest hint of panic from being caught.
Bibi Dong looked at his composed demeanor and decided to give this exceptionally talented son a slight warning, making him understand the importance of theoretical knowledge.
"Since you weren't paying attention in class, I assume you already have your own insights into Martial Soul theory."
"Then let me ask you, for beast-type martial souls, is the skill amplification brought by high-year spirit rings more important, or is exploring the mimicry characteristics of the martial soul itself more important?"
This was an extremely tricky and classic theoretical problem.
Even among the high-ranking elders of the Martial Soul Hall, there had always been significant disagreements and debates on this issue.
Xie Yue and Yan exchanged glances, both sneering inwardly, waiting to see Lin Yuan make a fool of himself.
How could a six-year-old child who had just awakened his martial soul and didn't even have a spirit ring possibly answer such a profound question?
Hu Liena also nervously clenched her small hands, breaking out in a cold sweat for Lin Yuan.
However, Lin Yuan stood in place, casting an extremely indifferent glance at everyone.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Both are jokes that mistake the root for the branch."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire guidance room fell into dead silence.
Bibi Dong's delicate eyebrows instantly furrowed.
Lin Yuan, however, didn't give her a chance to retort and continued.
"Spirit rings are merely the external manifestation of heaven and earth's rules, and mimicry characteristics are nothing more than a crude imitation on the surface of one's bloodline."
"True powerhouses should never cater to the skills of spirit rings, but rather use their own physical bodies to crush and refine the power of heaven and earth within the spirit rings."
"When the physical body and martial soul completely merge into one, and the bloodline transcends boundaries to return to its ancient origin, no flashy skills will be needed."
"A single punch thrown is the Great Dao."
"A single breath inhaled can suppress all things."
"Placing hope in external enhancements will never allow one to reach the true domain of gods."
Lin Yuan's speaking speed was not fast, and every word was articulated with extreme clarity, exuding an irrefutable and domineering truth.
He possessed the top-tier bloodline of the Nine Nether Beast within his body, and his understanding of power had long surpassed the stagnant state of the Douluo Continent.
As these words fell.
The guidance room fell into a deathly silence.
Bibi Dong stood on the podium, stunned, her beautiful eyes widening instantly.
Lin Yuan's explanation completely overturned the common sense that had been passed down for thousands of years in the soul master world.
Yet, within these seemingly arrogant words, there was a terrifying logic that pointed directly to the essence of the Great Dao.
Even Bibi Dong's own Rakshasa God trial, which had been stagnant, felt a faint glimmer of enlightenment upon hearing these words.
She gazed at Lin Yuan in shock.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was wearing a form-fitting purple-black Pope's long dress.
Due to the intense emotional fluctuations, her chest rose and fell slightly, outlining her perfect and proud figure in a breathtaking manner.
At the high slit of the skirt, her slender, straight, and snow-white beautiful legs were slightly crossed as she stood.
The ultimate charm of a mature woman mixed with her lofty and majestic aura, exuding a fatal temptation that could drive any man wild.
But at this moment, Bibi Dong couldn't care less about her demeanor.
Bibi Dong's mind was filled with Lin Yuan's earlier words, "A single punch thrown is the Great Dao."
This child's understanding of martial souls was actually more profound than hers, the Pope!
Hu Liena, standing beside them, was also dumbfounded.
Her golden eyes erupted with an unprecedented brilliance.
Was this the child adopted by His Holiness the Pope?
Was this the legendary prodigy who had caused celestial phenomena?
With just a casual remark, he could utter supreme truths that even the Pope couldn't refute.
This was simply the pinnacle of geniuses!
Bibi Dong stood frozen for a long time, and finally could only let out a long sigh.
Faced with such an impeccable and even era-transcending answer, she found no reason to reprimand Lin Yuan.
"Good... very good."
"Your insights are very unique."
"..."
Bibi Dong's tone was filled with helplessness, and she waved her hand.
"Sit down. As long as you don't disturb the others during the lecture, you may cultivate in whatever way you see fit."
Lin Yuan returned to his seat with a calm expression, closing his eyes to rest his mind once more.
Ever since that class, Hu Liena seemed to have discovered a peerless treasure, sticking to Lin Yuan like glue.
Whenever there was an opportunity, this little Demon Fox would follow closely behind Lin Yuan like an inescapable little tail.
In the hallways at dawn, in the cafeteria at noon, and even by the training grounds at dusk.
One could always see Hu Liena chattering away by Lin Yuan's side.
"Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, what exactly is this Bloodline Ancestry you mentioned the other day?"
"Lin Yuan, my Demon Fox Martial Soul comes with a natural charm attribute, but I always feel that the mental energy consumption is too high when I use it. Is there any way to solve that?"
"Lin Yuan, please teach me how to compress my soul power, won't you?"
Hu Liena would always blink those large, inquisitive eyes, softly asking Lin Yuan for advice on various cultivation dilemmas.
Lin Yuan had a cold and detached personality, speaking very little.
Yet, toward this junior sister in name, he did not show any excessive rejection.
Every time Hu Liena asked a question, he would provide an answer.
"Don't rely solely on vision for your charm; turn your mental energy into a needle and strike directly at the opponent's subconscious."
"The high soul power consumption is because your meridians aren't tough enough. Go stand under a waterfall and endure the impact; use external force to force your meridians to widen."
His answers were always brief, never dragging on with unnecessary words.
Yet, every sentence struck precisely at the heart of the matter.
Every time she heard Lin Yuan's explanations, Hu Liena would have a sudden moment of enlightenment, her mouth curling into an excited grin.
When she laughed, her eyes curved into beautiful crescents, her pretty face filled with admiration and joy.
She never imagined that although Lin Yuan was the same age as her, his understanding of cultivation was profound to an outrageous degree.
Following Lin Yuan's guidance, Hu Liena discovered that her progress was advancing by leaps and bounds.
This made her admiration for Lin Yuan even more fanatical, reaching the point where she would obey his every word.
However.
Hu Liena's behavior of hovering around Lin Yuan all day like a little fangirl completely infuriated two other people.
They were Yan and Xie Yue, who were originally regarded as the pillars of the younger generation in Martial Soul Hall.
Watching Hu Liena's eager and adoring attitude toward Lin Yuan, the fire of jealousy in their hearts burned ever brighter.
In the eyes of Yan and Xie Yue, the only reason Lin Yuan was able to shine so brightly in that class and spout those shocking theories was simple.
It was merely because he had been adopted by Pope Bibi Dong earlier than them, allowing him access to those advanced theoretical insights before they could.
