Chapter 106: Taichu Study Hall, Company Recruitment
"Husband, I have good news! My Divine Realm has just recovered!" Luo Rou said with a face full of joy.
"Is that so? That's great!" Yang Fan was not too surprised; given his current status, Luo Rou's value within the Luo Family had also soared.
"The Family Head went to Tiannan City to invite a Fourth-rank God to help. Once that lord's believers entered my Divine Realm, with just a gentle wave, all the poison from the Death Spider Emperor was purified by a soft power…"
Luo Rou was perhaps too excited and spoke at great length with Yang Fan.
After comforting Luo Rou, Yang Fan entered Taichu City.
According to the regulations of Taichu Academy, he had to participate in the Taichu Battlefield as soon as possible.
The Virtual World fully manifested the entire Taichu City, though this place was quite different from reality; the biggest difference was the lack of liveliness and the complete absence of sound.
With a thought from Yang Fan, his consciousness was drawn into the Taichu Battlefield.
"Freshman Yang Fan, participating for the first time. Do you wish to connect your Divine Realm and manifest your believers immediately?" the voice of the intelligent life echoed in his mind.
"Yes." Yang Fan nodded; he had already had Yang Yi arrange the army.
Forty-six Fifth-rank creatures, fifty thousand Fourth-rank creatures, two million Third-rank creatures, and nearly eight million Second-rank creatures.
This was the strongest population currently in Yang Fan's Divine Realm.
Since this was the Virtual World and believers would not suffer any actual damage, Yang Fan naturally deployed his strongest forces.
"Yang Er, you will take command next," Yang Fan ordered.
Although Yang Er was an exploration-type high-level intelligent life, commanding ten million believers in battle was more than enough for him—at least, he was much stronger at it than Yang Fan himself.
Countless alien beings appeared opposite the army.
Apes, wolf demons, tigers, lions…
The alien beings seemed endless: 10 million, 20 million, 30 million…
"Black Tortoise Life-Extinguishing Array, Defend." Yang Er divided the believer army into ten teams, using the power of the Formation to block the alien army.
The beings manifested by the Virtual World were extremely realistic; flesh and blood flew where they clashed, and the thick smell of blood instantly permeated the entire battlefield.
In less than ten breaths, the war was already over.
The ten million believers manifested by Yang Fan had all fallen.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan couldn't help but be stunned. "The intensity of this Taichu Battlefield is this high?"
At the very beginning, those alien beings were only First-rank, but after one breath, they all became Second-rank, then Third-rank.
What was even more terrifying was that their numbers were simply endless, basically four to five times his own military force.
If he hadn't comprehended the Black Tortoise Life-Extinguishing Array, Yang Fan even doubted whether these ten million believers could have lasted for five breaths.
While he was reflecting, the prompt from the intelligent life here also echoed in his mind.
"Current assessment concluded:
Student: Yang Fan
Identity: Divine Creature
Divine Realm Talent: Ten-fold Temporal Order
School Ranking: 8.42 million
First-time Experience Reward: 1,000 years of free course hours."
Returning to reality, Yang Fan took off the helmet, somewhat shocked by his ranking.
Over eight million—was his strength really that weak? Just how many students were there in this Taichu Academy?
Yang Fan asked in his heart, "Yang Yi, how many students are in Taichu Academy?"
"Reporting to Master, Taichu Academy recruits from the entire Human Race. According to historical data, it recruits fewer than 10 Peerless Prodigies, about 2,000 Human Race Prodigies, 100,000 Grade A Geniuses, 500,000 Grade B Geniuses, and between 2 to 3 million Grade C and Grade D Geniuses each year.
The Taichu Battlefield rankings include all students from freshman to senior years, among whom there are over 2 million Demigod existences," Yang Yi replied.
According to what Yang Yi said, all the students of Taichu Academy added up were at least in the tens of millions.
"As expected of Taichu Academy. No wonder they don't care if those geniuses are killed by alien gods; in their eyes, geniuses truly are just a number!" Yang Fan couldn't help but swallow hard.
One had to realize that Yang Fan's Divine Realm currently only had about forty million believers, while the data just now referred to people in the real world.
As expected of one of the highest-specification academies for humanity, it was simply terrifying.
"What are these free course hours?"
"Study time available at the Taichu Study Hall. The time flow within the Study Hall is the same as in the Divine Realm—one day in the outside world is one year in the Study Hall. However, these thousand years represent the total study duration for a single believer," Yang Yi explained.
"For a single believer!" Yang Fan's expression changed drastically.
Currently, the believers in his Divine Realm numbered as many as forty million; if averaged out, each person wouldn't even get half a day.
"Reporting to Master, the Study Hall is the largest place of consumption in Taichu Academy; one divinity point can only be exchanged for 100 years of course hours."
"In other words, I only received a reward of ten divinity points for participating in the Taichu Battlefield just now?" Yang Fan rolled his eyes, feeling that Taichu Academy was too stingy.
"Taichu Academy's move is mainly to let students understand the benefits of the Study Hall. As for the real rewards of the Taichu Battlefield, they can only be obtained after entering the top one million."
"Master, not all believers attend the Study Hall together. Master can choose believers with corresponding talents to enter. For example, believers with cultivation talent can go to learn Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills, while believers with forging talent can go to learn forging skills.
High-level skills cannot be purchased directly from the mall and require believers to figure them out on their own, and the Taichu Study Hall can significantly shorten this time.
The various skills learned are accumulated as knowledge and then passed down from generation to generation within the Divine Realm. This is the correct way to use the Study Hall."
"So that's how it is." Yang Fan showed a look of realization.
Unlike simple skills like gathering and hunting, abilities such as Cultivation Techniques, Blacksmithing, and Alchemists are not easily comprehended.
Currently, none of his believers had even reached Minor Achievement in their comprehension of the B-rank Cultivation Technique, the Everlasting Spring Technique. If they could comprehend the technique in the Study Hall, their cultivation speed would be significantly accelerated upon returning to the Divine Realm.
"Yang Yi, select one thousand believers with the best talent to enter the Taichu Study Hall to study the technique. Let's see the results first," Yang Fan ordered.
"Yes, Master, I will arrange it immediately. After a search, the Taichu Study Hall has Foundation Establishment Realm believers specifically for teaching the Everlasting Spring Technique."
"Report the results to me tomorrow. If the effect is significant, we will purchase course hours in bulk to quickly improve the believers' strength."
"Yes."
Yang Fan was not short on funds now; if the Taichu Study Hall's effects were significant, then he wouldn't mind speeding things up for his believers.
Just as Yang Fan was considering whether to visit the trading area, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
*Knock knock knock.*
Yang Fan opened the door and found a man in a business suit standing outside.
"You must be Your Highness Yang Fan?" the visitor asked respectfully.
"And you are?" Yang Fan's expression tightened.
Sensing the other party's aura, he was definitely a Low-rank God.
"I am a lawyer from Yuandan Co., Ltd., and I hope to sign an investment contract with Your Highness. These are the contents of the contract. If Your Highness has any interest after reading it, you can contact me at any time." After handing the contract to Yang Fan, the man bowed and then turned and left.
