Chapter 10 Another Year, Approaching the Divine Realm!
And at this moment...
With the sudden activation of the system's new functions, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Yuan's face.
After all, he'd been using this system for quite a while.
It's always been the same.
I never expected that new features could be unlocked now...
However, Liu Yuan had listened carefully for a while.
He felt that the new feature enabled by the system was really great!
For Liu Yuan, taking on apprentices was a very simple matter.
Given his current teaching level and ability, Liu Yuan dares to say that anyone who knows his capabilities would likely agree to take on a disciple.
And more importantly...
The rewards in this prize pool are outstanding!
The reward pool Liu Yuan received for attending classes was still decent; it transformed him into a Title Douluo with nine red spirit rings within a year...
But to be honest, reaching level 90 or so in a year is still a bit slow!
But this new prize pool is truly generous!
Rewards include things like "Soul Ring Age + 100,000 Years," and even million-year soul bones and divine artifacts...
This is many times more generous than the previous prize pool.
If he can consistently farm rewards for another year, Liu Yuan feels that his cultivation level should be heading towards the God Realm!
Therefore, now that they have learned about the new features unlocked by the system...
Besides excitement, Liu Yuan also felt a pang of regret.
If the apprenticeship feature had been unlocked earlier, he could have recruited more students from Shrek Academy.
Although Shrek Academy has a terrible management team, the students are still incredibly talented.
Taking on just a few apprentices would be enough for Liu Yuanshuang to collect a wave of rewards.
"Never mind... let's try it on Luo Chen first."
However, he quickly calmed himself down.
Then he turned his gaze to Ling Luochen, who was standing to the side.
Since there's Ling Luochen readily available right now, Liu Yuan thought he might as well use her to see how the system rewards go.
So he started looking at Ling Luochen with a serious expression.
"Teacher Liu Yuan, I can't stand you staring at me like that..."
Is there anything I can help you with?
Ling Luochen couldn't help but blush when Liu Yuan looked at him like that.
She quickly became unable to hold on any longer, so she began to avoid Liu Yuan's blatant gaze and asked him a question.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan directly stated his request: "Luo Chen, I do have something I want to ask you."
Would you like to become my apprentice?
Ling Luochen initially thought Liu Yuan was going to confess his feelings to her, and she was quite excited.
But later she learned that Liu Yuan wasn't confessing his feelings but rather taking her as a disciple, and she was immediately a little disappointed.
But she definitely wouldn't refuse Liu Yuan.
Since Liu Yuan wanted to establish a master-disciple relationship with her, Ling Luochen agreed.
Moreover, she had already been Liu Yuan's apprentice for a long time, since she obtained her ultimate ice with Liu Yuan's help.
Her current cultivation level of over sixty is something she achieved through several guidance sessions from Liu Yuan; otherwise, her cultivation level certainly wouldn't have improved so quickly.
Therefore, Ling Luochen quickly agreed: "Okay! Then, I will become your disciple."
As Ling Luochen spoke, he performed the traditional apprenticeship ceremony for Liu Yuan, a custom common in the Douluo Continent.
Soon after, Ling Luochen's apprenticeship ceremony was completed...
The system's voice rang in Liu Yuan's ears again.
[bite!]
[Congratulations, host: You have successfully established a master-disciple relationship with Ling Luochen.]
The apprentice's information is as follows.
Name: Ling Luochen
[Martial Soul: Ultimate Ice]
[Talent: S]
[bite!]
[Congratulations, host, on receiving the random apprenticeship reward! The age of your third spirit ring has increased by 100,000 years! Your physical strength has increased by 50%!]
The system notification faded.
Liu Yuan immediately felt his physical body become much stronger, and the power within his body surged instantly.
He even opened his own panel to check, and sure enough, he found that the age of his soul rings had been upgraded.
[Soul Rings: Red (180,000 years) Red (120,000 years) Red (200,000 years) Red (100,000 years) Red (160,000 years) Red (170,000 years) Red (200,000 years) Red (220,000 years) Red (240,000 years)]
His gaze suddenly became intense.
After all, he had only taken on one apprentice and yet received such a generous reward.
If he were to take on a few more apprentices and carefully train them...
Doesn't that mean he could even level up all nine of his spirit rings to over a million years?
How powerful will he be by then?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan was filled with excitement, and his gaze towards Ling Luochen became even more ardent.
At that moment, the system voice sounded again.
[bite!]
[Your disciple "Ling Luochen" has reached the highest level of affection for you (there are three stages in total), and you can receive an affection reward.]
[Does the host wish to receive this message?]
Liu Yuan immediately issued instructions to the system.
"Check it immediately!"
Immediately, the system awarded all of Ling Luochen's favorability rewards.
[bite!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Stage One reward: Freeze Resistance (Increases host's resistance to all ice-attribute skills by 30%)]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Stage Two reward: Freeze Immunity (All ice-attribute skills are ineffective against you!)]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Stage Three reward: Ice Spirit Saint Body (The host can manipulate and absorb the power of minor ice in the world for their own use, their affinity with all ice-attribute soul masters and soul beasts is enhanced, and their body possesses ultimate ice attribute!)]
After carefully examining the system's rewards, Liu Yuan was even more dumbfounded.
After all, he originally thought that the system's reward for him would be the same as always, either the number of years of the soul ring or the soul power reward.
Unexpectedly, this time I was directly rewarded with these special passive abilities and special physical constitutions.
But it makes sense, considering that Ling Luochen's martial soul is ultimate ice, so receiving this kind of reward is quite reasonable.
Moreover, to be honest, Liu Yuan felt that the reward he received this time was even more generous than the reward he received for taking on apprentices before.
I won't go into detail about the passive ability that prevents freezing.
After acquiring this skill, neither ice-attribute soul masters nor soul beasts can ever be his match.
And this Ice Spirit Holy Body is even more impressive.
Having acquired this physique, if he were to travel to the far north, his strength would become even greater. Moreover, when encountering ice-attribute soul masters, he might even be able to use their abilities against them.
That's really amazing!
"It seems... I really need to take on a few more apprentices."
Liu Yuan immediately made up his mind.
With such generous system rewards, he had no reason not to take them.
As long as he can continuously improve his strength, not only on the Douluo Continent, but even in the God Realm, no one will be his match!
Having already transmigrated, Liu Yuan was not willing to be a nobody; his goal was definitely to become the strongest in the Douluo Universe!
"Um...."
"If that's the case, then Huo Yuhao can also be accepted."
Liu Yuan had made up his mind.
As the male protagonist of the original novel, Huo Yuhao is definitely worth collecting.
In addition, other things like Dream of the Mortal World and Laughing at the Mortal World can also be collected; they should all belong to the S-level.
As for whether they'd be afraid of Tang San from the God Realm after taking Huo Yuhao in...
There's really nothing to be afraid of about this.
One day in the realm of gods is equivalent to one year on earth.
Tang San couldn't keep an eye on things all the time. Sometimes, he would just be dozing off for a few minutes, and several months would have passed on the Douluo Continent.
Besides, even if he found out, what could he do?
Under normal circumstances, Tang San cannot easily interfere in matters of the lower realm. His only opportunity to directly intervene was at the Valley of Love and Destiny.
The problem is, by the time the Qiankun Wenqing Valley incident is triggered, it will be a very long time coming.
Given Liu Yuan's current leveling speed, he would have already grown up long before he even entered the Valley of Love and Destiny.
At that time, no matter who Tang San or Tang Si are, Liu Yuan will slap any one of them who dares to mess with him to death!
What's there to be afraid of?
Therefore, in that short time, he had already roughly figured out what to do next.
"Let's go, Luo Chen."
He led Ling Luochen directly into the city.
Upon approaching the city, he discovered that it was the same city he had been in before. He had leveled up in the junior academy in this city and had also met Xiao Xiao, another important character from the original story, in this city.
"Yes, and Xiao Xiao too..."
"Since we're already here, let's just take Xiao Xiao in too!"
His eyes lit up at this thought.
Then he took Ling Luochen and headed straight for Xiao Xiao's house.
