BTTH : genius planner

That night, in a secluded courtyard of Canaan Academy, a young man dressed in a gray-blue robe sat cross-legged, his eyes lightly closed, hands forming seals, as a faint blue fighting aura swirled around him, causing the fighting aura garment to flutter.

In a moment.

"Great Fighter, Break!"

Accompanied by a soft shout, a powerful aura erupted from the young man, and with this aura, a ripple of energy spread to the fluttering fighting aura garment, which gradually came to a halt. In an instant, the blue light flashed fiercely, then quickly merged and gathered, ultimately blending together. Moments later, the blue light transformed into a well-fitted blue flame-patterned armor that enveloped the young man.

Afterward, the young man retracted the hand seal, opened his lightly closed eyes, looked at the fighting aura armor on his body, and revealed a hint of a satisfied smile.

"One-Star Great Fighter, accomplished!"

Suddenly, the young man's gaze shifted, and he stood up, turning to slightly bow and clasp his fists in greeting towards the distance.

"I apologize for disturbing the Dean. Lin Yuan feels ashamed. Thank you, Dean, for your care. The student is immensely grateful!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure in gray appeared before Lin Yuan. It was none other than Hu Qian, the Vice Dean of the Outer Academy of Canaan Academy. Hu Qian, somewhat surprised, said, "Although you didn't deliberately hide it, you were able to sense me. It seems that what Old Fire said was not false; you indeed have extraordinary talent in the aspect of the soul."

After saying this, he looked Lin Yuan up and down, revealing a satisfied smile. "Good, very good. A One-Star Great Fighter at fifteen, with a solid foundation. Truly worthy of being a genius of Canaan Academy."

Then, Hu Qian took out a token from his storage ring and tossed it to Lin Yuan. "Take this token. Tomorrow, go to the Martial Arts Pavilion to select a high-level Xuan rank martial art and a high-level Xuan rank fighting technique. Also, you don't need to go to the Law Enforcement Team for the next few days. Familiarize yourself with the power of a Great Fighter. I will inform Elder Wu."

Lin Yuan received the token, slightly excited, and replied, "Thank you, Dean! The student will follow your teachings!"

Hu Qian smiled and said, "No need to be polite; we are all part of the same family. Focus on your training, and by the way, go and challenge that little girl Hu Jia. You are the same age, but now you are already a One-Star Great Fighter, while she hasn't even broken through to a Fighter yet. She doesn't seem to be very dedicated in her training. I need to go and give her a lecture."

With that, his figure vanished.

After Hu Qian's figure disappeared for a while, Lin Yuan straightened up, stored the token in his low-level storage ring, and pondered, "Breaking through to a Great Fighter grants the reward of a high-level Xuan rank martial art and a high-level Xuan rank fighting technique. Truly, Canaan Academy is generous to its own."

Suddenly, a light laugh echoed.

"Rather than a reward, it's more like an investment in their own direct talents. Choosing to come to Canaan Academy back then was indeed the right choice!"

Looking up at the bright moonlight in the sky, Lin Yuan felt a slight uplift in his spirits. He returned to his room, took out a jug of wine, and sat at the stone table in the courtyard. His figure, illuminated by the moonlight, appeared particularly clear and solitary. Holding an exquisite wine cup, he leisurely drank to the bright moon.

The moonlight, like water, quietly fell upon him, draping him in a layer of silvery gauze. Accompanied by long thoughts, his face appeared somewhat hazy in the moonlight, but the light in his eyes grew increasingly resolute.

"I have been in this world for fifteen years, and I have finally obtained the qualification to enter the game!"

Indeed, Lin Yuan was a transmigrator, born fifteen years ago into this familiar yet strange world of the Fighting Qi Continent in an ordinary family. His father was a mercenary, a Seven-Star Fighter, and his mother was a minor pharmacist who had not broken through to a Fighter. Their family was ordinary but considered happy.

However, Lin Yuan's family life did not last long. His father died at the hands of a magical beast during a mission when Lin Yuan was nine years old. His mother, in a daze from her husband's death, accidentally came into contact with a poisonous plant and passed away, leaving Lin Yuan once again an orphan.

The death of his parents made Lin Yuan deeply aware of the cruelty of the Fighting Qi Continent. Without power, the changes between life and death could happen in the blink of an eye. From that moment on, he resolved to become strong step by step.

Fortunately, although he had no special background and had not yet encountered the typical "golden finger" of transmigrators, Lin Yuan seemed to possess quite excellent cultivation and soul talent.

His outstanding talent gave Lin Yuan the opportunity to become strong. Coupled with the mindset of an adult guiding his own actions, Lin Yuan diligently practiced from a young age and finally passed the assessment of Canaan Academy, which was recruiting students across the continent, with a nine-stage fighting aura at the age of ten. Despite some setbacks, he smoothly became a student of Canaan Academy.

In the five years since arriving at Canaan Academy, Lin Yuan did not hesitate to showcase his formidable talent in hopes of gaining more investment from the academy.

Lin Yuan understood very well that when the information in his mind could not be converted into resources, his excellent talent was his greatest asset. Demonstrating his value and attracting suitable people to invest in him was the best choice to get through the early weak phase, and Canaan Academy was the ideal target.

The development of events indeed unfolded as he expected. His status as an orphan with a clean background, combined with his exceptional talent, earned him recognition from the academy, making him a direct descendant of Canaan Academy.

Lin Yuan initially thought he would take an elder of the academy as his master, but later learned that Canaan Academy had an implicit rule or understanding: after orphans with clean backgrounds and good talents like him became direct members of the academy, the higher-ups would cultivate them in the name of the academy as a whole to prevent individual influence from expanding and harming the organizational structure of the academy in the future.

Lin Yuan was part of the "Talent Cultivation Plan" aimed at nurturing the next generation of direct elders, and he was one of the most talented among them, often referred to as a "reserve elder" of Canaan Academy. Therefore, Lin Yuan received considerable attention within the academy and was familiar with Hu Jia, the granddaughter of Hu Qian, and Wu Ha, the adopted son of Elder Wu Tianlang from the Law Enforcement Team.

During his five years in the academy, Lin Yuan spent most of his time in hard training, practicing fighting qi, going out with the Law Enforcement Team to gain practical experience, and studying various knowledge of alchemy in the Alchemy Department, leading a very fulfilling life.

The powerful soul strength made Lin Yuan exceptionally talented in alchemy, excelling in both the study of medicinal knowledge and fire control. He was highly regarded by Elder Huo of the Alchemy Department, and even gifted him a fire seed of the fifth-tier beast fire "Qing Ling Yan" when Lin Yuan became a third-tier alchemist.

Under the moonlight, Lin Yuan reminisced about the important five years at Canaan Academy, which laid a solid foundation for his future. He contemplated the historical trajectory of the Fighting Qi Continent and the future plans he had devised.

As the wine jug ran low, Lin Yuan's contemplation came to an end. He raised his wine cup, paying homage to heaven and earth, and drank down the last cup.

"Though I do not know why I came to this Fighting Qi Continent, if there are noble individuals watching me, then please see if my performance in this life is splendid."

"Fighting Qi Continent, the trends of the world, Lin Yuan has arrived."

Lin Yuan set down his wine cup and sat cross-legged on the meditation mat in the courtyard. As the fighting qi circulated, it dispelled his drunkenness, and he began his daily practice.
