My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 970 - 790: The Academy and the Genius Class (Extended - )
The propellers on both sides of the Hero Club airship spun swiftly. Inside, thirty selected young prodigies wore varied expressions.
Some were filled with anticipation.
These young ones, who hadn’t awakened long, with the earliest awakening a year after the apocalypse when soul power vanished.
They relied entirely on their own cultivation, not on refining soul bodies to improve, making them truly deserving of the title ’prodigy’.
Of course, it’s thirty percent effort and seventy percent talent, and the remaining ninety percent relies on resources, but without showing sufficient talent, even the children of large families can only get limited resource support.
From the day of awakening, they have almost been cultivating, practicing combat skills, and learning magic techniques, and many young prodigies have barely stepped out of Hero City. Green Shadow City? Only exists in rumors.
There are many rumors about Green Shadow City. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
A floating island, a cultivation holy land, a treasure wholesale origin, and so on.
All make people yearn for it.
At least for these young boys and girls with not-so-deep minds, many hope to go to Green Shadow City, even though the two years of study time seems long, it’s fortunate they can still go home during winter and summer breaks.
Yet, some young prodigies remain very composed, usually the older ones at 17 or 18, warned by family elders before departure, understanding that their trip to Green Shadow City and entering World Tree Academy isn’t just for studying, but carrying a mission.
For example, learning the high-value knowledge that Hero Club lacks to bring back.
For instance, digging into the details from the mouths of those top geniuses within the academy.
For example...
"Lady Witch, after we enroll, where should we start?" A youngster asked.
Witch Helen stared at the little guy before her for a while and then sneered, "I advise you, don’t overthink, grasp the opportunity of the exchange group well, two years later, you’ll be the most outstanding batch among Hero Club."
Some young boys and girls dared not rebut, but they did not seem convinced.
"Whether it’s our Hero Club or top intelligence personnel from other Holy Land forces, none could explore confidential intelligence in Green Shadow City unless it’s deliberately released. Where do you get the courage to make sneaky moves right under Green Shadow City’s nose, lacking intelligence ability?"
Many young prodigies instantly turned pale.
The witch continued, "Of course, since Green Shadow City has promised fair treatment, what the geniuses of World Tree Academy can access, you should also be able to encounter. However, knowledge is like countless stars, don’t be too greedy, learn to choose wisely."
For the witch, this trip to Green Shadow City is a great opportunity to cling to a big support. Naturally, she wouldn’t want these thirty prodigies to stir up trouble.
But she also knew some people couldn’t be persuaded merely with a few words.
As long as she could cling to a strong patron herself, it’s good enough.
The exchange group students would study at World Tree Academy for two years, so staying two years in Green Shadow City wouldn’t be an issue for her, right? As the exchange group’s leader, it’s natural to protect Hero Club’s prodigies.
Perhaps she could even gain the chance to communicate with the Green Shadow City Lord, and maybe obtaining permanent residency in Green Shadow City wouldn’t be a dream.
The witch no longer spoke and gracefully walked away.
...
The exchange group students arrived on the eve of the new year’s opening ceremony at World Tree Academy.
Aside from Hero Club, other Holy Land forces also sent exchange groups, with 20 to 50 age-appropriate prodigies, as Green Shadow City didn’t set a fixed number.
Though called an exchange group, it’s actually purely a learning group.
In the past, even if Green Shadow City offered the opportunity, most other Holy Land forces wouldn’t have lowered themselves.
—Why should we, all being Holy Land forces, be mere students while you’re the instructors?
However, the reincarnators’ arrival six months ago made them see clearly that except for Green Shadow City, these so-called Holy Land forces had no power to resist whatsoever.
The Hero Club, known as the Second Holy Land, was effortlessly addressed by three reincarnators.
Now, though the choice to send prodigies to study at Green Shadow City is in their hands, declining might mean that, in a few years, they couldn’t keep up with the leading echelon and maintaining the Holy Land title!
All Holy Lands lowered their stance, thus easing up considerably.
Look, Holy Land XX is no different.
No one else still has the old view, being stuck in the victory over a world-class demonized beast battle. It’s all the same, as none could glimpse their shadow anyway.
Seeing all the Holy Land forces letting their prodigies study at World Tree Academy, other overlord forces naturally wouldn’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They didn’t have as many misgivings as Holy Land forces and even if their prodigies didn’t wish to return, they would still have come from XX City, XX Base City, providing a bridge to embrace Green Shadow City.
Through all sorts of connections and pathways, they brought three to five age-appropriate prodigies, joining other Holy Land forces’ exchange group students at World Tree Academy.
...
World Tree Academy occupies a separate Floating Island.
In the center of the island stands a huge, awe-inspiring tree, its crown covering nearly half the island.
"This Divine Tree is a critical area of our World Tree Academy, drawing Source Qi from the void, and the surrounding Source Qi concentration is significantly higher than other areas. We specifically built 300 Heavenly Level cultivation rooms on the Divine Tree’s branches, and 2000 Earth Level cultivation rooms around the base, surrounding the tree trunk."
"Any academy student can use credits to exchange for cultivation room time, besides, there’s also..."
