After leaving the dean's office, Lin Yao did not immediately return to his residence, but went to Elder Huo's place first.

The alchemy room where Elder Huo resides is surrounded by various rare herbs, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

Lin Yao entered and saw Elder Huo sitting at the stone table in the room, resting with his eyes closed.

Sensing the arrival of the person, Elder Huo slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Lin Yao, a smile appeared on his face:

"Xiao Yao, you're back. How was your trip to the library?"

Lin Yao smiled and nodded, handing over the void ring in his hand, and said:

"Elder Huo, I'm lucky. I've found a high-level storage ring that's perfect for me—the Void Ring."

Elder Huo took the void ring, examined it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"Oh? A Void Ring. It seems to be a high-level storage ring with spatial amplification effects. I didn't expect you to be able to find such a rare treasure. Not bad, not bad."

As he spoke, he returned the Void Ring to Lin Yao, saying:

"It seems your trip to the library was worthwhile."

Lin Yao smiled, took the void ring, and said:

"Thanks to the care and guidance of the Dean and Elder Huo."

By the way, Elder Huo, the dean has already told me that he will take me to the inner courtyard tomorrow.

He holds the position as a teacher.

"Teacher status?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Elder Huo's eyes, then he nodded and said.

"Yes, this arrangement is very reasonable. With your current strength, you are indeed qualified to become a teacher in the inner academy."

This way, you'll have more time and energy to cultivate and refine medicine, which will be more beneficial to your growth.

He paused, then raised his hand and took out a jade bottle from his storage ring, saying:

"By the way, the pills that the dean asked me to refine for you as a reward have already been made."

With the effects of this pill, it should be able to help you consolidate your cultivation as a four-star Dou Wang.

As he spoke, Elder Huo handed the jade bottle to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

He could clearly sense the pure energy contained within the jade bottle, yet it lacked the ferocity of the demonic core's power.

It is very suitable for breakthroughs.

"Thank you so much, Master Huo!"

Lin Yao said gratefully.

"You are welcome."

Elder Huo said with a smile.

"Your rapid growth is also a good thing for Canaan Academy."

Alright, you should go back now and properly absorb the medicinal power of the pills to stabilize your cultivation level.

I need to see the Grand Elder in the Inner Court tomorrow, so I can't be in bad shape.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now."

Lin Yao said respectfully, then turned and left Elder Huo's courtyard.

After returning to his residence, Lin Yao sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the fifth-grade pill from the jade bottle.

This is a pill that is light golden in color, with a soft halo flowing across its surface and a rich medicinal fragrance.

It is a fifth-grade pill, the Body Nourishing Pill, which has a good effect on consolidating the cultivation of the Dou Ling, Dou Wang, and even Dou Huang stages.

The energy contained within, in addition to consolidating the body, can also help the user improve their battle qi cultivation to a certain extent.

Without hesitation, Lin Yao put the pill into his mouth.

The pill melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a stream of pure energy that slowly flowed into the body through the throat.

He immediately activated the Five Elements Technique, guiding the energy of the Body Nourishing Pill to circulate through his meridians.

This energy is extremely pure, without any impurities, and operates very smoothly.

Like a gentle stream, it continuously nourished his meridians and fighting spirit, making Lin Yao's fighting spirit become more and more profound.

As he continued to absorb energy, Lin Yao could clearly feel that his fighting spirit was not only stabilizing but also beginning to grow.

It seems that because of his strong physique and the power of the Five Elements Technique, his utilization rate of elixirs is far higher than that of other geniuses.

He started his assault on the bottleneck of becoming a five-star Dou Wang, moving from the late stage of a four-star Dou Wang.

Lin Yao felt that his foundation was solid and was pleased with the outcome, showing no intention of suppressing it.

He activated the Five Elements Technique at full power, converting all the energy into his own fighting spirit.

After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of the pill's power was completely absorbed, Lin Yao's fighting spirit suddenly surged.

A powerful aura emanated from his body, instantly engulfing the entire room.

"Five-Star Fighting King".

Lin Yao opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing in them.

Unexpectedly, taking this pill brought a pleasant surprise, successfully helping him break through to the fifth-star Dou Wang level.

Elder Huo, who refined this pill, probably never expected Lin Yao to achieve such a significant improvement.

In Elder Huo's opinion, it was already excellent that Lin Yao was able to consolidate his cultivation and save some time with the help of this fifth-grade Body Circulation Pill.

They would never have imagined that Lin Yao would be able to break through to the five-star Dou Wang level with its help.

If they saw this scene, they would probably be amazed by Lin Yao's talent, which was even more terrifying and outstanding than they had imagined.

Having broken through to the level of a five-star Dou Wang, he has made considerable progress compared to his four-star Dou Wang period.

The fighting spirit within his body became more profound and condensed, and his meridians were also widened considerably.

Even without using methods from other worlds such as the Reincarnation Mangekyou Sharingan, he can easily defeat ordinary Dou Huang powerhouses with his own fighting skills alone.

"Not bad, I've taken another step closer to the Dou Huang level, and gained an extra bit more self-defense power. I believe that with my current burst of power, I can face other Dou Zong powerhouses with more ease."

Lin Yao was extremely excited.

This increase in power gives one more confidence to control their own destiny. After experiencing this, how can anyone guarantee inner peace?

After a while, Lin Yao calmed the joy of his breakthrough and slowly stood up.

He stood up and stretched his arms and legs, feeling the power surging within him, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

Next, Lin Yao stopped cultivating his internal fighting spirit and instead focused his attention on the Void Ring he had obtained from the Library.

He carefully studied the spatial power emanating from the Void Ring, feeling its subtlety far surpassing that of the Five Elements.

After pondering for a while, Lin Yao tried to inject his mental energy and battle qi into it.

As Lin Yao infused his spiritual power and battle qi, the star pattern at the core of the Void Ring grew brighter and brighter.

The spatial energy it emitted also became increasingly concentrated.

Immediately, as if reaching a certain critical point, a powerful spatial force enveloped Lin Yao.

Under the influence of this powerful force, the five elements within Lin Yao's body dimmed somewhat.

Just as Lin Yao was about to respond, influenced by this spatial power, he turned around and his Mangekyou Sharingan appeared.

The four-colored chains, imbued with the azure blue of the Tenseigan, began to rotate slowly, gradually drawing upon the power of this space.

Under the nurturing of this spatial power, Lin Yao could feel the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan's spatial eye technique gradually increasing.

After a while, it seemed that a lot of spatial power had been absorbed, and the spatial power emitted by the Void Ring slowly receded.

It seems to be in a state of accumulation, waiting for the next burst.

As for Lin Yao's Reincarnation Mangekyou Sharingan, upon discovering that the source had disappeared, it also stopped absorbing spatial power.

However, by using his powerful mental strength to constantly monitor his eye technique, Lin Yao was able to detect that his spatial eye technique had improved somewhat.

It can only be said that it is indeed pure spatial power, which has such benefits for me.

As he gradually grew stronger, Lin Yao, holding the Void Ring, could clearly feel a strange connection being established between himself and the Void Ring.

While being able to freely manipulate the storage space of the Void Ring, and being able to enhance one's spatial eye technique by utilizing the spatial energy within the Void Ring.

It seems that he can also use the Void Ring to enhance his spatial eye technique at crucial moments.

At the same time, due to the development and application of power, the space has also become much larger.

"This Void Ring I found in the library is indeed more suitable for me than the Nine Heavens Fire Technique. This choice was right."

Feeling the changes and improvements in his body, Lin Yao was secretly delighted and began to observe the space of his Void Ring.

Compared to the previous volume of just over a thousand cubic meters, the area within the fog has expanded several times over, reaching several thousand cubic meters.

With such a large space, Lin Yao felt that he would have a huge advantage in going to the Black Corner Region to fight against those evil forces and collect spoils of war.

Moreover, because the space within the Void Ring is very stable and the spatial power is abundant, it seems to have the potential to expand its space.

Afterwards, Lin Yao tried to use the Void Ring to enhance his spatial eye technique.

I tried it out briefly and found that with its assistance, the power of the spatial eye technique increased by about 50%.

"I really got a bargain with such a comprehensive high-level storage ring, but it's also perfect for me."

If it were someone else, they might not be able to achieve the same effect.

After all, which other genius on the Dou Qi Continent possessed such a strong foundation and was able to begin exploring spatial power during the Dou Wang era?

Not to mention the power systems of other worlds, such as the Reincarnation Mangekyou Sharingan, which possesses powerful and systematic space-time dōjutsu.

Lin Yao thought to himself.

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Yao got up.

He quickly washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went to wait at the door of Hu Gan's office.

Not long after, Hu Gan came out of the office.

He saw Lin Yao already waiting at the door, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Xiao Yao, you're here quite early. It seems you're also eager to enter the inner courtyard. Well then, I won't waste any more time; let's head to the inner courtyard now."

Lin Yao nodded and said, "Okay, Dean."

Immediately, Hu Gan activated his Battle Qi Wings, carrying Lin Yao, who had also activated his Battle Qi Wings, and flew towards the back mountain of the outer courtyard.

The area behind the outer campus is a dense forest.

The forest is home to various powerful magical beasts, and few students dare to venture deep into it on ordinary days.

However, Hu Gan and Lin Yao were powerful enough that the magical beasts, sensing the aura emanating from them, all hid and dared not show themselves.

The two sped along and soon passed through the forest, landing on a wide-open grassland.

The meadow was extremely flat, with no trees around it, only some low weeds.

In the center of the grassland, there is an area with extremely chaotic spatial fluctuations, where some spatial ripples can be vaguely seen slowly flowing.

Hu Gan stopped in front of the spatial fluctuations, turned around and said to Lin Yao, who was following behind him:

"Xiao Yao, the entrance to the inner courtyard is just ahead. The inner courtyard is hidden within a separate spatial barrier."

You either need to know the corresponding activation method, or you need to be a powerful Dou Zong who has mastered a trace of spatial power.

Otherwise, ordinary people simply wouldn't be able to get in.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Indeed, he could clearly sense that the spatial fluctuations ahead were extremely peculiar.

It's probably not a complete small space created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse; it can only be considered a semi-space, a powerful spatial barrier.

In the original work, when Mang Tianchi, the dean of Canaan Academy who was of the Thunder Clan, appeared, his strength was that of a half-saint.

Therefore, when he left Canaan Academy to train in various parts of the Dou Qi Continent, he was at most at the peak of Dou Zun.

It is in the stage of becoming a saint through nine cycles.

Therefore, this spatial barrier envelops the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy.

It is stronger than the power condensed by an ordinary peak Dou Zun, but weaker than a true Saint, and has not reached the true small space level.

Extremely peculiar.

Unaware that Lin Yao had already figured out the secrets of Canaan Academy, Hu Gan saw the understanding look on Lin Yao's face and said no more.

He raised his right hand, and a dense aura of battle energy condensed in his palm.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the ball of battle energy shot out like an arrow towards the space in front of him.

"Buzz!"

The moment the battle aura struck the space, it emitted a muffled buzzing sound.

The space in front of them began to ripple violently like water, and the spatial ripples spread rapidly.

Finally, a large, pale silver gate, seven or eight zhang tall, appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.

This door is entirely formed from condensed spatial energy, and its surface shimmers with a faint silver light.

The door is carved with intricate patterns, exuding a powerful sense of space.

The gate was tightly shut, like an insurmountable barrier, blocking out everything from the outside world.

"Xiao Yao, stay close to me and don't wander off."

Hu Gan gave Lin Yao a few words of advice and then walked towards the silver gate first.

Lin Yao nodded and followed closely behind Hu Gan, stepping into the silver gate.

The moment Lin Yao passed through the gate, he felt a strong sense of spatial distortion, and the scene before him changed instantly.

When he regained his balance, he found himself in a completely new world.

The sky here is pale blue, and the air is filled with a dense aura of battle energy, several times denser than that of the outer courtyard.

In the distance, there are rolling mountains covered with dense forests, and some ancient buildings can be vaguely seen nestled among them.

Nearby is a wide square paved with huge bluestone slabs, which looks extremely ancient and grand.

In the center of the square stood an old man dressed in a black robe.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright and as steady as a mountain.

He turned around, revealing an old yet dignified face.

With white beard and hair, and eyes as cold as a knife, he was staring intently at Lin Yao.

Upon seeing the old man, Hu Gan immediately showed a hint of surprise, stepped forward, and respectfully said:

"Elder, what are you doing here?"

Indeed, this old man in black robes is none other than Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court of Canaan Academy.

His strength is unfathomable; he has already reached the Dou Zong level and is not considered weak in battle.

They belong to the first echelon below Bai Lie and Qian Mu, who remained at Canaan Academy, and are the academy's visible pillars of stability.

Su Qian simply nodded in response to Hu Qian's question.

Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Lin Yao, scrutinizing him carefully.

That gaze was so real, it seemed to see right through Lin Yao's body.

Lin Yao remained calm and unmoved by the scrutinizing and probing gaze.

He knew that the elder in front of him would not harm him, so he had nothing to worry about.

As for the secrets he possessed, Lin Yao felt that a mere Dou Zong was not strong enough to uncover all his secrets.

After a while, Su Qian slowly withdrew his gaze from Lin Yao, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, and said to Hu Gan:

"I was patrolling nearby when I sensed your presence, so I came to check on you."

"This is Lin Yao, the peerless genius you often mention to me, right?"

"Yes, Elder. This is Lin Yao, who has now reached the strength of a Dou Wang."

Upon hearing this, Hu Gan nodded, smiled, and then waved his hand.

"However, calling oneself a peerless genius is too arrogant."

After all, there are still many terrifying people in that place, and Xiao Yao is still a bit lacking in that regard.

Of course, I agree that Xiao Yao is an absolute genius.

"Is that so? I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of this child."

Su Qian nodded, then turned her gaze back to Lin Yao and said with a smile:

"However, such recognition is normal. After all, at such a young age, one's cultivation level is not much different from that of the peerless geniuses of Zhongzhou."

Perhaps, since this child began cultivating, he has had the same resources as those powerful forces in Zhongzhou, and will be even more outstanding than them.

As she spoke, Su Qian sighed repeatedly.

This young Battle King is even more terrifying than my own little girl.

Perhaps, if the two can play together, the little girl will have a companion.

On the other side, Lin Yao, who was standing quietly to the side, noticed that the two had finished their conversation and their gazes were fixed on him.

He immediately stepped forward, bowed to Su Qian, and said softly:

"Student Lin Yao greets the Grand Elder!"
