While the player is in Battle Through the Heavens, the system is in The Great Ruler.

Chapter 46 Two Months Later, Two-Star Battle Spirit!
Time flowed slowly through the practice...

in the following days.

During the day, Lu Yu honed his combat skills with Little Fairy Doctor, and at night he cultivated the Great Floating Pagoda Technique and comprehended the Heaven-Burning Spirit-Burning Technique.

I still have to visit Xun'er from time to time to maintain our relationship.

I consulted the old herbalist about some difficult problems in medicine making.

They were so busy they wished they could be split in two...

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

……

In a quiet room.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged on a futon, with a crimson flower floating in front of him, its petals adorned with intricate flame patterns.

This was the "Crimson Flame Flower" he had redeemed in the simulator last month. It was currently emitting a soft red light, drawing all the fire-attribute energy within a radius of several hundred feet, condensing it into a blazing energy vortex at its stamen.
"call--"

Lu Yu took a deep breath and quickly formed cultivation hand seals. As the Great Floating Pagoda Technique was activated, the energy vortex around the Crimson Flame Flower began to slowly rotate, transforming into strands of pure fire-attribute energy that flowed into his body with his breath.

Gradually, a faint red glow emanated from his body, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Nourished by the energy of the Crimson Flame Flower, his internal fighting spirit surged through his meridians like molten lava. With each cycle, he could feel his cultivation steadily improving.

Suddenly, the Crimson Flame Flower shone brightly!
"It's now!"

A glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and his hand seals suddenly changed. The Crimson Flame Flower trembled violently, all its petals blooming simultaneously, and the energy vortex at its stamen transformed into a crimson beam of light, directly pouring into the top of his head.

"boom!"

A violent surge of energy exploded within his body. Lu Yu groaned, gritted his teeth, and focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation technique to guide this energy through his bottleneck.

An hour later...

The Crimson Flame Flower's light gradually dimmed, and its once vibrant petals began to wither and fall. As the last petal fell, Lu Yu's aura suddenly surged!

"Two-star Dou Ling, done!"

Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, a flash of crimson light appearing briefly within them. The crimson flame flower before him had completely withered, turning into a wisp of ashes that drifted away.

"call……"

He let out a long sigh of relief, stretched his slightly stiff muscles, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. His two months of arduous training had finally paid off—not only had he successfully mastered the basics of the Heaven-Burning Spirit Technique, but his cultivation had also naturally broken through to the second-star Dou Ling level.

As for the results of these two months of simulation.

In the first month, he specially selected the "Spirit Butterfly Illusionary Body Technique" for Qinglin—a high-level Xuan-rank movement combat skill. When mastered, the body moves as elusive as a butterfly. Combined with the mental interference of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, it can produce amazing effects.

Qinglin was overjoyed with the item and has been practicing diligently ever since.

The harvest of the second month was this Crimson Flame Flower, now reduced to ashes. This wondrous flower could not only significantly draw in surrounding fire-attribute energy, increasing a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the next level.

More importantly, it has the miraculous effect of solidifying one's foundation. Now, the newly broken-through battle qi within his body is extremely solid, with absolutely no hidden dangers of his realm being unstable.

"Next..."

Lu Yu stroked his chin, pondering, "It's time to prepare for Canaan Academy's admissions."

……

A few days later, the sun was blazing.

The Canaan Academy's admissions team arrived in Utan.

Lu Yu, accompanied by Little Fairy Doctor, Qing Lin, and Xun'er, arrived at the bustling recruitment plaza. As they weaved through the crowd, a familiar voice rang out:

"Brother Lu! Over here!"

Xiao Yan stood in front of a blue and white tent, waving excitedly.

Beside him stood a woman in the uniform of Canaan Academy—her slender figure was accompanied by a rapier, and what was most striking were her shapely, straight legs, which gleamed enchantingly in the sunlight.

"This is my cousin, Xiao Yu."

“He was cultivating at Canaan Academy before, and he came back specifically to guide us.” Xiao Yan warmly introduced the two sides, then turned to Xiao Yu and said, “Sister, this is Lu Yu, whom I mentioned to you before.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes lingered on Lu Yu for a moment longer. As a three-star Dou Zhe, she keenly sensed the astonishing aura contained within this seemingly gentle young man—his calm and composed demeanor, though unassuming, instinctively made her feel a sense of pressure.

"That little lecher Xiao Yan didn't actually exaggerate..." Xiao Yu was secretly shocked, but kept a straight face.

"Thank you for your help, Sister Xiao Yu."

Lu Yu cupped his hands and smiled, his demeanor composed.

Just then, a gentle female voice came from inside the tent: "Yu'er, have those people you mentioned arrived yet?"

Xiao Yu then came to her senses and quickly replied, "We've arrived, Instructor Ruolin."

He then waved to the crowd and said, "Follow me, we'll go in through the side door."

She led everyone around to the back of the tent and lifted an inconspicuous curtain. Here, away from the noisy crowd, they could directly see their mentor, Ruolin, who was organizing materials.

In the shadows, a graceful woman in a light green dress stood smiling. She was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with skin as white as snow, and smiling eyes. Her gentle gaze was like a clear spring in spring, making people unconsciously relax.

Inside the tent were several Canaan Academy students dressed in blue and white uniforms, who were curiously observing the newcomers.

"These are the people, right?"

Professor Ruolin put down the documents in her hand and asked gently.

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, mentor, they are all geniuses in my clan."

Instructor Ruolin took out a crystal-clear testing crystal and said softly, "That young fellow named Xiao Yan was a three-star Dou Zhe, and he tested out as having A-level talent. May I ask who else..."

Her words suddenly stopped, and her gaze lingered on Lu Yu for a moment longer. With her cultivation as a five-star Great Dou Master, she couldn't see through this young man's true strength at all, which secretly shocked her.

"Please state your ages first."

Ruolin composed herself and asked gently.

"Sixteen years old."

"Sixteen years old."

"Sixteen years old."

"Fourteen."

After Lu Yu, Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin announced their ages in turn, the entire tent instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The academy students who had been nonchalant all widened their eyes, and the pens in their hands fell to the ground with a "clatter."

Sixteen years old? Fourteen years old?

Her voice trembled slightly as she scanned the group of people. "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Lu Yu smiled calmly: "That's true."

Ruolin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She knew that even the most outstanding freshmen at Canaan Academy were considered geniuses if they reached the Dou Zhe realm at fourteen. And these people before her…

"Then... let's start the test with the youngest one." Ruolin tried her best to maintain the composure of a mentor and handed the crystal to Qinglin.

Qinglin stepped forward timidly, her slender fingers about to touch the crystal—

"and many more!"

Ruolin suddenly called out to her, took out an even more crystal-clear one from her bosom, and handed it to Qinglin.

"Use this specially made crystal."

Upon hearing this, the academy students inside the tent all gasped in shock. This was a high-level crystal specifically used to test the strength of a Battle Spirit expert!
As the last beam of light from the test faded, the record sheet in Instructor Ruolin's hand revealed data that took everyone's breath away:
Qing Lin, fourteen years old, a six-star Dou Zhe, with potential exceeding S-rank.

Xiao Xun'er, sixteen years old, a six-star Dou Zhe, with potential value exceeding S-rank.

Little Fairy Doctor, sixteen years old, Seven-Star Grand Dou Master, Potential Value: ? ? ?

Lu Yu, sixteen years old, two-star Dou Ling, potential value: ? ? ?
