Chapter 386 - 376: Secret Technique and Reform

Chapter 386: Chapter 376: Secret Technique and Reform

Behind them, the other leaders from the various institutes were seated in smart chairs.

Xu Wenji, who was seated in the main chair, slowly began to speak:

"I’ve called everyone here today for a small meeting, and also so we can all have a chat."

"Principal Liy has already departed for the Otherworld, so there’s no need for everyone to be so stressed."

After Xu Wenji finished speaking, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

With Liy Qifeng, a Ninth Realm Martial Artist, around, everyone felt the pressure.

Xu Wenji slowly continued:

"Moving forward, the school will increase the rewards for all major competitions."

"We hope this will encourage the students to be more diligent in their Cultivation."

Everyone nodded. They all sensed that as the situation grew more severe, the burden on the geniuses, who were the reserves for future High Realm Martial Artists, was also growing heavier.

Whether for money or to protect their homes and country, most of them would have to step onto the battlefield to fight the Calamity Beasts.

And these geniuses were the main force in resisting the Calamity Beasts.

Xu Wenji continued speaking:

"Furthermore, the higher-ups have decided on a completely new training method for the Awakened geniuses."

"The higher-ups feel that the Awakened geniuses aren’t competitive enough. They need to become much stronger."

The various leaders nodded. It was true that the Awakened geniuses had it much easier compared to Ordinary geniuses.

Many of them were Awakened geniuses themselves, and this feeling became even more pronounced after they had risen to leadership positions.

Although there were various rankings, the Global Freshman Tournament, and Martial Arts competitions for them to compete in, each was only held once a year.

They couldn’t feel the gap between them on a moment-to-moment basis.

Dean Liu also nodded. This was why they had introduced the "catfish" Lin Qi into the Tenth Institute last semester to stir up competition.

It had ignited everyone’s sense of crisis.

The results proved that the effect was excellent, so reform was imperative.

Xu Wenji projected a large amount of data and began his presentation.

"After some deliberation, an initial version has been drafted."

"Our three top-tier academies, the military, and the Ten Great Schools will cooperate."

"We will establish a new academy at the Otherworld Celestial Base, a training camp specifically for Awakened geniuses."

"All Awakened geniuses will be enrolled. Everyone will compete together, including the SSS-level geniuses."

"Four grade levels, including all S-class, SS-level, and SSS-level geniuses."

"Everyone will be treated equally and compete together."

This proposal shocked everyone.

Good heavens, what a bold move. In an academy like that, S-class geniuses would be the weakest students; you’d have to be at least SS-level to be considered upper-tier.

The strongest would be the SSS-level geniuses. They could already imagine the intensely competitive atmosphere.

Vice Principal Xu Wenji continued:

"On August 15th, after the Disaster Beast Hunting Competition, the reform will officially begin."

"Many of our leaders and teachers will also be heading to the Otherworld..."

He went on to explain more of the rules regarding the training camp.

Everyone’s expression was grave. They could feel the great tide of change rolling forward, and they were all a part of it.

This reform would affect the future of the Xia Country.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended, and everyone began to chat informally.

The dean of the First Institute voiced his doubts. "I get the feeling the higher-ups are in a hurry."

"The current situation is terrible, but looking on the bright side, with our current systems and our ever-increasing overall strength..."

"According to projections, Blue Star will eventually be able to repel the Calamity Beast invasion."

"Besides, we have Emperor Red. He’s an expert on another level entirely. I’m certain that even if he were besieged by ten Ninth-Level Calamity Beasts, he would slay them all."

"With Emperor Red around, humanity faces no threat of extinction."

"But I can sense that the Ninth Realm Martial Artists all seem to be worried about the future."

As soon as he said this, the others nodded in agreement. They harbored the same doubts.

With Emperor Red’s power guarding Blue Star, no matter how many Ninth-Level Calamity Beasts came, that’s how many would die.

But he seemed to have other plans, constantly training in the Otherworld, searching for opportunities to grow stronger.

"Perhaps it’s related to the Insect Race!" someone said.

"Although the Insect Race isn’t on par with us humans, they possess top-tier technology and power. One day, they might display strength far beyond our own."

"And compared to the Calamity Beasts, the Insect Race possesses far greater intelligence."

Hearing this, the others nodded. This was a source of worry for many.

"Maybe it has something to do with the [Relics]?"

Xue Zhou, dressed in a blue robe, spoke lazily.

"Besides the Insect Race, there was another civilization—the one that left behind the [Relics]."

"We humans only received a small fraction of their legacy, and it gave rise to a great number of experts."

"What if a powerful civilization were to suddenly arrive?"

When Xue Zhou said this, everyone fell into silence.
