Gu Rong's eyes widened, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"You're already quite old, several cycles older than Lin Yuan, right?"
"You call him Teacher? Do you think that's appropriate?"
"And didn't you forget! Lin Yuan is Rongrong's teacher!"
"Rongrong calls him Teacher, and you call him Teacher too."
"Then what do you call Rongrong? Senior Sister?"
"Isn't the seniority system of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School completely messed up?!"
Facing Gu Rong's questioning, Chen Xin looked completely composed, even letting out a cold snort.
"What's wrong with that?"
"In Learning, There Is No Hierarchy; The Capable One Is The Teacher!"
"Lin Yuan imparted such valuable Sword Dao insight to me. To me, he is a second parent, a gracious teacher who guides the path!"
"As for Rongrong..." Chen Xin said lightly, "We establish our relationships separately."
"Old Poison, Dugu Bo, addresses the Teacher as a brother every day, yet isn't his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, still the Teacher's disciple?"
"If they can establish their relationships separately, why can't I?"
"Besides, being a disciple of such a super Douluo is a blessing you couldn't even beg for!"
Gu Rong: "..."
He opened his mouth, but found himself completely speechless.
It sounded so reasonable.
And... he really wanted to become a disciple too!
If calling someone Teacher could make him a Quasi-God, never mind Teacher, he'd even be willing to call him Foster Father!
...Meanwhile, at Canglan Academy.
Lin Yuan, who was sipping tea, suddenly paused.
At the exact moment Chen Xin's strength broke through, his heart filled with extreme reverence for Lin Yuan, and he called him "Teacher."
A system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Detected Nominal Disciple Chen Xin generating extreme admiration for the Host and completing God-level Sword Dao insight!]
[Congratulations, Host! Disciple's strength has significantly broken through to the Quasi-God Peak realm!]
[Triggered "Famous Teacher, Great Disciple" Ten Thousand Times Return Reward!]
[Reward distribution in progress...]
[One: Host cultivation increases by one level]
[Two: Host's spirit ring lifespans increase by 100,000 years]
[Three: Received special reward—Six (100,000-year God-Bestowed All-Attribute Spirit Bones)!]
Lin Yuan put down his teacup, a hint of surprised amusement flashing in his eyes.
"This Chen Xin... originally I just gave him a casual pointer, but unexpectedly, through the heavenly screen's enhancement, he directly reached Quasi-God Peak."
"It's a pity. Chen Xin's talent is ultimately inferior to his father's and grandfather's. If it were his grandfather, upon receiving my Sword Dao insight, he probably would have become a true God right away, wouldn't he?"
Just as Lin Yuan was sighing with emotion.
A fragrant breeze suddenly swept over.
"Teacher! You are too amazing!"
Ning Rongrong saw that her Grandpa Sword was ranked sixth and had even obtained a Divine Artifact, making her so excited she jumped up immediately.
Taking advantage of Lin Yuan "not paying attention," she suddenly leaned in close.
"Mwah~"
A fragrant kiss landed directly on Lin Yuan's cheek.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Ning Rongrong hugged Lin Yuan's arm, smiling like a little fox who had stolen fish:
"If it weren't for your help, Grandpa Sword definitely wouldn't have ranked so highly!"
"Now our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also has two super powerhouses!"
"Teacher, you are the best!"
The surrounding air instantly froze.
Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Dugu Yan... the girls looked at Ning Rongrong's triumphant expression, their eyes instantly becoming sharp.
Ambush?!
They hadn't even kissed the Teacher yet!
How could Ning Rongrong, this little demoness, have gotten ahead of them!
Damn it!
This little demoness of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly cannot be underestimated!
...Spirit Hall.
Lion Douluo, who had just been showing off his Demigod Artifact, immediately became displeased.
"No way!"
Lion Douluo slammed the huge axe in his hand onto the ground, making the floor buzz.
"Why is that Chen Xin ahead of me?"
"We were both rank 98 (before the list), is my strength really inferior to his?"
"If Sea Dragon is ahead because of the advantages of the ocean and Dual Spirit Cores, then Chen Xin's configuration in all aspects should be similar to mine, right?"
"I refuse to accept this!"
Qian Daoliu glanced at him indifferently and shook his head.
"Lion, you are too impetuous."
"Didn't you see that Chen Xin obtained Lin Yuan's Sword Dao insight?"
"His Sword Dao has already touched the edge of the laws."
"It is this insight that allowed him to make a qualitative leap, enabling him to surpass Sea Dragon and even exceed his original realm."
Qian Daoliu paused, his tone becoming severe: "If you don't accept it, you can privately challenge him."
"But I warn you, you are not allowed to question the judgment of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Don't you know how Tang Hao died before?"
"If you initiate a challenge, it's fine if you win, but what if you lose..."
Hearing the name "Tang Hao," Lion Douluo's body, which had been burning with anger, suddenly trembled.
Although the rules of the Heavenly Dao permit challenges, the Heavenly Dao didn't explicitly state the consequences of losing!
If it was just confiscating rewards or regression in cultivation, that would be acceptable.
What he feared was the Heavenly Dao being in a bad mood and instantly striking him dead with a bolt of lightning!
Then he wouldn't even have a place to cry!
"Ahem... Big Brother is right to lecture me."
Lion Douluo shrank his neck and immediately conceded defeat.
"I just said it casually, just casually..."
...Just then, a golden light flashed again.

The sound was no longer the roar of a crocodile, but the true Dragon's Roar Shaking the Heavens!

Gold Crocodile Douluo's body stood ramrod straight at this moment!
Golden light enveloped him completely, as if re-forging a golden body.
