The Quietly Changing Landscape, New Spatial Attributes!

Bai Yuan withdrew his gaze from the depths of the Core Flame.

The spatial patterns were still slowly expanding the kit, like a map being slowly unfurled.

He didn't rush to touch it, but quietly sensed the flow of that energy.

The Gate of Myriad Paths.

Tribbie's power, the authority of the Titan of Gateways.

If it fully awakens, it will be able to open a passage on this continent that belongs only to it.

In the Douluo Continent, spatial attributes have always been considered one of the most exaggerated attributes.

It hasn't been put into use yet, but it's slowly beginning to take shape.

He estimated that once his Soul Power broke through another level, it should be usable.

He put away the Core Flame, sat in the darkness for a while, and thought about his conversation with the Life Core earlier that day.

The Life Core still needs time to completely process the Blue Silver Emperor.

Time is what he lacks most right now, and it's the only thing he can't shorten through cultivation.

He could only try to gain some leeway within the scope of what he could control.

Bai Yuan closed his eyes, then opened them again.

He needed to set up the cables for the Soul Beast in advance.

At the very least, he could bring Gu Yuena into his camp.

She hadn't completely decided to stand by him yet.

He needs to give her a compelling reason before she makes a choice.

He was silent for a moment, then flicked his fingertips lightly.

A faint wisp of life energy seeped from his body.

It swam through the crack in the wall to the next room.

Gu Yuena was lying in bed, her consciousness drifting towards sleep.

She caught the scent drifting towards her.

It's very subtle, yet impossible to ignore.

That wisp of energy was exactly the same as the aura of the Golden Ancient Tree.

It carried a feeling that sent a slight shiver down her spine.

She rolled over, facing the wall.

What did Bai Yuan really obtain from the Golden Ancient Tree?

Moreover, that aura also carried a trace of divinity that she couldn't quite explain.

He doesn't belong to any human powerhouse, nor does he belong to the Shrek Academy's leader.

Rather, it comes from something older and purer.

Gu Yuena closed her eyes and repeatedly traced the outline of that aura in her mind.

Her consciousness slowly sank into the afterimage of that golden light.

She herself didn't even realize it.

Her breathing gradually became even, and she fell asleep.

Next day

Shrek Academy

Bai Yuan and Gu Yuena walked into the classroom side by side.

The voices that had been chatting in twos and threes suddenly fell silent.

Almost all eyes turned to them at the same time.

With curiosity, awe, and some indescribable eagerness.

No one dodged or avoided the situation like before.

Some people leaned forward slightly from their seats, while others had already stood up, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Good morning, Brother Bai!"

That greeting seemed to flip a switch, and everyone else joined in the shouting.

The classroom was filled with shouts and laughter.

Good morning, Brother Bai.

The voice said, "Brother Bai looks great today."

Bai Yuan nodded to them, said nothing more, and went straight to his usual seat by the window.

Gu Yuena sat down next to him, her gaze sweeping over the eager expressions on the faces of the people there.

His lips twitched slightly, but he didn't speak.

Before, calling him "Brother Bai" carried a hint of testing and observation, but now it has turned into genuine respect.

After all, to top the Youth Genius Ranking in first grade,

This can no longer be explained by mere talent; this is a future prodigy.

Everyone knows that such people are people you might never see again after leaving the academy.

If you don't make connections now, you won't even have the chance to curry favor with them once they truly take off.

Bai Yuan sensed those gazes, but didn't respond deliberately or give them a cold shoulder; he simply sat quietly.

After the school bell rang, the teacher pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Bai Yuan sitting by the window, she paused slightly.

He stood on the podium, cleared his throat, and his gaze fell on Bai Yuan:

Before we begin today's class, let's first congratulate Bai Yuan.

"To bring glory to our class and reach the top of the Youth Genius Ranking!"

"Everyone should learn from him."

A round of applause erupted in the classroom.

The teacher looked at Bai Yuan, but was thinking about something else entirely.

According to the information he received, Yun Ming, the Sea God Pavilion Master, was very interested in this child and even intended to take him as his disciple.

If this really happens, then this child will not just be a "genius student" in the future, but the future heir of the Sea God Pavilion.

He put down his lesson plan:

"Bai Yuan, keep it up."

Teacher Bai Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze calm.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to get up and leave the classroom, several boys and girls around fifteen or sixteen years old jumped out.

They stood before him, their sweet little faces full of excitement, holding Soul Guidance Communicator in their hands.

"Junior! You're amazing! Can I get to know you?"

One of the girls, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, spoke first, her voice clear yet tinged with nervousness.

Seeing Bai Yuan's slightly raised eyebrows, she seemed to remember something and quickly waved her hand:

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm the twenty-seventh on the Youth Genius Ranking, my Martial Soul Ling Yuan."

She took a deep breath, as if gathering her courage:

"As everyone knows, I want to join the Spirit Pagoda and become a sacred Spirit Pagoda steward."

"Could you perhaps make an introduction, junior?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several people gathered around:

"I'm in the thirties on the Youth Genius Ranking!"

"Me too, I want to go to the Spirit Pagoda with you!"

A cacophony of voices rose and fell, each one carrying the same fervent eagerness.

Bai Yuan was slightly taken aback.

He initially thought they were just trying to challenge him or get close to him, but it turned out they weren't after him.

It is the Spirit Pagoda.

He hesitated for a moment, several thoughts racing through his mind:

He topped the Youth Genius Ranking at the age of eleven.

The impact of this message is probably even more profound than his sword strike on the field.

The changes in the Youth Genius Ranking, to some extent, represent a glimpse into the future landscape.

Those Soul Master families that sent their juniors to Shrek Academy were quick to react upon hearing the news.

Those with guts even place bets in advance.

He wanted to get his younger relatives to join the Spirit Pagoda through him.

To create opportunities for the family.

Shrek Academy students are all geniuses selected from thousands. If these geniuses can voluntarily join the Spirit Pagoda, it would be a good thing for both them and the Spirit Pagoda.

These people who follow his path are essentially his deacons.

Although we can't really talk about any power or influence yet.

But a few years later, these people may gradually settle down in various positions in the Spirit Pagoda, spreading their roots even further.

Bai Yuan looked at the several pairs of expectant eyes in front of him and nodded slightly:

"Can."

The girl with the high ponytail paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up:

"Really?! Thank you so much! I'll tell my family right away!"

The people around also expressed their gratitude, as if they had found a door to another direction overnight.

Bai Yuan didn't say anything more, just nodded to them, and turned to leave the classroom.

He knew these people were the real fish.

Gu Yuena walked beside him. "You certainly don't refuse anyone."

Bai Yuan smiled and said, "I won't refuse a favor that's offered to me."

Gu Yuena glanced at him, but didn't reply; she simply looked away.

"She's about to start building her own power base!"

"Hehehe!"

"Nobody expected that!"

"The highest leader of the Spirit Pagoda is a Soul Beast!"

"My wisdom!"
