Chapter 105: A Ruthless Way of Cultivation
The interior decoration of the detached small courtyard was very simple. Aside from its large size, the decoration style was almost comparable to the layout of the Mingyue Community.
"Is Taichu Academy afraid we'll indulge in enjoyment and wants us to be ascetic monks?" Yang Fan smiled bitterly.
As for his living environment in reality, Yang Fan didn't care much. Anyway, if he had any mental needs, he could solve them in the Virtual World.
"Yang Yi, have you finished processing the specific information about Taichu City?" Yang Fan asked as he entered the room.
"Reporting to Master, I have finished browsing."
"Highlight the key points."
"To cultivate the strong, the Federal Government spent heavily to build Taichu Star; the entire planet exists to serve Taichu Academy.
Unlike other universities' methods of cultivating students, there are no teachers to attend classes and no competitions between classmates here. The school adopts a completely free-range education."
Yang Fan frowned upon hearing this. "Then what am I here to learn?"
"It's not that Master needs to learn, but your believers do. The believers need to attend classes to learn knowledge."
"What do you mean? Can't believers not enter the real world?" Yang Fan said in surprise.
According to the rules of the Divine Kingdom, inanimate objects within the Divine Kingdom, such as buildings and grain, can be manifested into reality through blank cards, but living beings with a Soul cannot.
If it were possible, the massive population would have caused the entire world to collapse long ago.
"It's not reality, but a school established through the Virtual World. There, believers from high-level Divine Kingdoms teach knowledge. This includes Cultivation Techniques, Martial Skills, Forgers, Alchemists, Alchemy Art, Mechanics…
However, the fees for the Taichu School are very high and require a large amount of divinity points," Yang Yi explained.
Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but feel that it was very novel.
He didn't need to attend classes, but his believers did. This teaching method directly overturned Yang Fan's perception of university education.
On second thought, Yang Fan could understand. If there were high-level believers giving guidance, the believers in his Divine Kingdom might be able to Breakthrough the Qi Refining Realm faster.
"Similar to the Divine Kingdom Battlefield Master experienced at Yang County No. 1 Middle School, Taichu Academy has also constructed a Taichu Battlefield in the Virtual World. The number of believers is set to ten million to fight against the Alien Army.
The Taichu Battlefield tests the comprehensive strength of a god's believers, using this to rank all the students of Taichu Academy.
Rankings that enter the top one million, one hundred thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred will receive resource rewards respectively.
This is also the only reward Taichu Academy openly gives to its students."
"According to the regulations, Master needs to go to the Taichu Battlefield for the first test within three days."
Yang Fan nodded in understanding. "What are the graduation requirements for Taichu Academy?"
"There are two ways to graduate from Taichu Academy. The first is to Breakthrough to become a First-Order God, which results in automatic graduation. The second is to stay in Taichu City for four years. At that time, regardless of your strength, you will be forced to graduate and leave Taichu City."
"I see," Yang Fan sighed.
This Taichu Academy indeed believes in absolute freedom. Even if you choose to play in Taichu City for four years, the school won't care, and you can still graduate.
However, judging from what Tang Yue just said, living in Taichu City itself is a huge fortune. It's difficult even for gods to enter this place.
Presumably, no fool would choose to waste four years of their life here.
"The third most important area is the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone. This is a place where the Human Race specifically keeps alien gods in captivity, and their coordinates are completely open to students.
You can choose to fight against real alien gods and even seize the other party's Divine Kingdom Foundation."
"Taichu Academy's special reminder: Once you choose to participate in the war, the school's gods will not interfere. The winner gets all of the opponent's legacy, while the loser's Divine Kingdom Foundation is seized, resulting in death and the dissipation of their Dao."
"Taichu Academy requires strength to reach the Demigod level to be eligible to enter the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone. Master does not need to concern himself with this for now."
Taichu Academy not only kept alien gods in captivity but also allowed its students to fight them on equal terms.
Hearing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but get a case of goosebumps. With such a cruel education method, he wondered how many Geniuses died every year.
Perhaps for Taichu Academy, those Geniuses who hadn't grown up were just a number.
Yang Fan thought back to when he took the midterm exam at Yang County No. 1 Middle School, and everyone felt that the assessment method Hong Bing chose was too cruel.
Now it seemed that Taichu Academy was the true place for raising Gu, even treating its own students and alien gods as equals.
"The cultivation method is ruthless enough!" Yang Fan thought to himself.
Although he sighed a bit, Yang Fan wasn't worried. This Alien Divine Kingdom Zone wasn't mandatory; if he felt it was dangerous, he could simply lie flat.
"Finally, there are the trading channels of the entire Taichu City. In the outside world, if you want strategic-grade buildings, you must obtain them through pioneering by plundering the core assets of the opponent's Divine Kingdom. But in Taichu City, they can be obtained through purchase or barter."
"However, the items traded within Taichu City are not connected to the network and require offline transactions," Yang Yi continued.
"In addition, I also found the official group chat for this year's Taichu Academy freshmen and have already added Master to it."
Yang Fan opened his wristwatch upon hearing this and indeed found 99+ messages.
"Taichu Freshmen Group (10000+)"
Opening the group chat, Yang Fan saw messages constantly scrolling across the screen.
"Everyone joining the group now must be from the early admissions batch, right?"
"This Taichu City is really amazing. I just saw an S-rank Building in the trading area. But the other party saw that I was only a Divine Creature and wasn't even interested in giving a quote, so they told me to get lost."
"Have you guys been to the Taichu Battlefield? My rank is actually over two million. I'm so bummed."
"Is anyone organizing a dinner?"
…
There were too many people in the group, and most were just chatting back and forth without any useful information.
Yang Fan closed the group chat, put on his helmet, and entered the Virtual World.
As his permissions increased, the category classifications in the Virtual World had now changed.
Besides the existing sections like the Mall, God Forum, and Divine Kingdom Simulation Battle, a label for 'Taichu City' had been added at the very top.
Yang Fan could feel that as long as he lightly tapped the three words 'Taichu City', his consciousness could enter it.
"As expected of Taichu City, it was actually listed as a separate section in the Virtual World," Yang Fan sighed.
Just then, he suddenly received an invitation from Luo Rou.
Tapping the coordinates, Yang Fan's consciousness was directly teleported into the room at the Yangcheng Villa.
"Husband, have you already arrived at Taichu City?" Luo Rou came over and asked, hugging Yang Fan's shoulder.
Yang Fan nodded. "I arrived not long ago and only now have time to log into the Virtual World."
"That's a legendary city. Even the god Elders of the Luo Family have never been there. What's different about it?" Luo Rou was like a curious baby at this moment.
"It's hard to evaluate!" Yang Fan said.
The buildings in Taichu City weren't very fancy and even seemed a bit ordinary compared to its reputation. However, the way Taichu Academy cultivated its students and the liveliness there were indeed different from the outside world.
Like in Yang County, it was hard to see people on the streets because everyone's primary way of life was in the Virtual World.
When Yang Fan was in his third year of high school, he didn't even go to school a few times a year.
But Taichu City was so lively; it was almost like a wet market.
There were too many things to complain about, and Yang Fan didn't know how to explain it to Luo Rou.
