I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 542 A Great Change Unseen in Millions of Years
half a month later.

The initial excitement surrounding the opening of the three extraordinary academies has gradually subsided.

However, the transformation of human society as a whole has never stopped.

Whether in the realm of the extraordinary or the realm of technology, things are changing rapidly.

First, there's education.

Starting this year, high school students who choose the extraordinary system and want to enter extraordinary universities must not only meet the score requirements, but also become first-level martial artists.

Becoming a Level 1 martial artist within three years of high school is not a difficult task.

Most people can achieve this if they put in the effort.

After all, the current junior high school education is already laying the foundation!
Of course, the junior high school stage is only for physical training, and there are no special martial arts courses.

However, thanks to the foundation laid in junior high school, some people can even become first-level martial artists in their first or second year of high school.

Even more remarkably, some geniuses are able to become Level 2 martial artists while still in high school.

In the past, a level two martial artist would have been the threshold for a mid-level university, but now even high school students can meet the requirements.

It's easy to imagine just how fast the pace of development is these days.

Technological advancements have played a significant role in this.

As space exploration deepens, agricultural technology is developing rapidly.

Previously expensive supplements and nutritional products have become much more affordable, even for ordinary working-class families.

With the addition of school subsidies, some children from ordinary families will also have a chance to succeed.

Becoming a superhuman might still be a bit difficult these days.

But getting into a top university is no longer an unattainable dream.

Once you are admitted to a superhuman university and become a level four or even level five martial artist, it is not impossible for you to become a superhuman in the future.

At Jiangcheng Middle School, for example, several ordinary students became Level 2 martial artists during their senior year of high school this year.

As for level three martial artists, it is extremely difficult to achieve that level during high school!

Breaking through from a level two martial artist to a level three martial artist is no longer just a matter of resources.

More importantly, it's talent.

Those who lack talent can easily remain at the level 2 martial artist card for a long time.

This is why the number of students in the advanced colleges of major universities is very small.

Even a school like Jiangcheng Chaofan University, which ranks among the top three in the Nine Provinces, currently only has a little over two hundred students in its higher education program.

Even Kyoto Extraordinary University only has a little over three hundred students.

And those exceptional universities ranked lower have fewer than one hundred students in their higher education institutions.

It's worth noting that each of these extraordinary universities now has at least five thousand students.

No more than five percent of people can become a level three martial artist.

Only one percent of martial artists are at level four or above.

As for level five martial artists, even Kyoto Extraordinary University has fewer than ten of them.

Most of the students who participated in the assessments of the three extraordinary academies some time ago were still level four martial artists.

Level 5 martial artists are extremely rare; there are only about fifty in the entire world combined.

Those who can become level five martial artists in a higher academy are either extremely talented or have a powerful background.

If someone can become a level two martial artist during high school, they can be considered a pretty good genius!

These people have a very high chance of entering higher education institutions in the future, and may even be able to enter the three extraordinary academies.

Even if you can't get into one of the three extraordinary academies, as long as you graduate from a higher academy, your future will be bright.

Many martial arts instructors in high schools and even top universities today are graduates of higher education institutions.

Of course, that was in the past.

Starting this year, anyone who wants to become a martial arts instructor at Extraordinary University, even in the elementary academy, will need to be at least a level four martial artist.

Moreover, the competition is extremely fierce; ordinary level four martial artists can't even dream of participating.

After all, even martial arts instructors at elementary academies are paid based on contribution points.

Even if it's just five contribution points, it's worth tens of millions of Kyushu coins.

Moreover, only contribution points can be used to exchange for extraordinary resources.

Therefore, martial arts instructors at Extraordinary University have become one of the most sought-after professions.

As for those fourth-level martial artists who were not selected...

They either become martial arts teachers in high schools or join other supernatural forces.

Some people simply open their own martial arts schools or offer one-on-one instruction.

The appeal of a level four martial artist is still quite significant.

Many level-five martial artists even take on part-time jobs to earn money.

After all, the stronger a force is, the greater its demand for resources will be.

Although money cannot buy extraordinary resources, for martial artists and even those in the Body Tempering Realm, what they use more often are not extraordinary resources, but ordinary medicinal herbs and supplements.

Do you really think contribution points are so easy to obtain?

Even the most advanced Body Tempering Realm cultivators only use the Origin Elixir occasionally.

Most Body Tempering Realm Transcendents simply don't have enough contribution points to buy Origin Potions; being able to maintain their cultivation unaffected is already extremely difficult!
To put it bluntly, the Source Crystal is the most important thing.

Without source crystals, no amount of cultivation resources will help.

Therefore, many martial artists and even those at the Body Tempering Realm still have a high demand for money, which is why they take on part-time jobs.

Of course, those at the Body Tempering Realm don't need to take on part-time jobs.

How many extraordinary individuals at the Body Tempering Realm are there?

Such a strong person will have a high status no matter where they are.

Those who excel in scientific research, in particular, hold an even higher status.

Making money is not difficult for them.

……

Along with high school reforms, the Extraordinary University system has also undergone further changes this year.

The original duration of the Extraordinary University was nine years, but it will be reduced to six years from now on.

In other words, if you can't get into one of the three extraordinary academies within the next six years, you'll have no chance!
Of course, six years is just the longest possible time.

If you fail to meet the assessment criteria for secondary school within two years, you will graduate early.

Similarly, the same applies to higher education institutions.

In other words, some people who are not talented enough can only study at the university for a maximum of two years.

There is nothing we can do about this.

More and more people are applying to the extraordinary system these days, but many of them are not actually suitable for it.

on the other hand.

This is also to allow those people to cut their losses in time and avoid wasting too much time.

Of course, the system has changed.

However, not all exceptional universities have the same evaluation criteria, and the difficulty varies from university to university.

Better universities naturally have higher entrance exam requirements.

To enter a secondary academy of a university ranked among the top five in the Nine Provinces, one must at least become a level three martial artist.

The goal of higher education is to become a level four martial artist.

In terms of martial arts, these five universities are all the same, but their admission scores are different.

The required score for Kyoto Chofan University's junior high school is 1210, and the required score for its senior high school is 1230.

The required score for Jiangcheng Chaofan University's secondary college is 1205, while the score for its higher college is 1225, which is slightly lower.

The other three universities are similar to Jiangcheng Chaofan University, requiring a minimum score of 1200 or above.

As for the extraordinary universities ranked sixth and below, they remain largely unchanged.

One only needs to become a level 2 martial artist to enter the intermediate academy, and a level 3 martial artist can successfully enter the advanced academy.

This one is much easier!

At least most people are able to study at university for four years.

The reason why only the top five exceptional universities are required to raise their standards is because we want to proceed step by step.

Reforms cannot be taken too big at once; they must be carried out step by step.

As a result, those who lack confidence in themselves will also be more cautious in choosing which universities to apply to.

After all, applying to a top-five university carries a significant risk!
This would also give lower-ranked universities the opportunity to recruit and nurture more gifted students.

As for martial arts instructors, regardless of the university, the minimum requirement is that they must be level four martial artists.

The only difference is the advanced martial arts instructor.

At the top five universities, only those who become extraordinary can serve as advanced martial arts instructors.

Other universities only require a level 5 martial artist!

The current number of superhumans is still not enough; it's impossible to expect all advanced martial arts instructors at universities to be superhumans.

Of course, most schools now have at least one superhuman.

Kyoto Extraordinary University, for example, already has nearly ten extraordinary individuals, including two at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Therefore, Kyoto Chaofan University has higher requirements for martial arts instructors.

Although the explanation states that a level four martial artist is sufficient!

However, at Kyoto Extraordinary University, one cannot become a martial arts teacher without becoming a level 5 martial artist.

Even a beginner martial arts instructor is still a level 5 martial artist.

Advanced martial arts instructors not only need to be extraordinary individuals, but their martial arts level also needs to reach the Ming Jin level.

As for Jiangcheng Chaofan University, it is a bit inferior.

Currently, there are only four extraordinary individuals, one less than the number at Haicheng Extraordinary University.

Aside from martial arts instructors at universities.

The requirements for martial arts teachers in high schools have also increased.

Initially, even a Level 1 martial artist was qualified to be a martial arts instructor, but now the minimum requirement is Level 2.

For senior high school students, at least level three is required.

Some of the better high schools even have an all-third and fourth-level martial artists.

In fact, based on the current trend, it's likely that within three years, even high school martial arts teachers will need to be at least level three martial artists to hold the position.

After all, a large number of people will graduate from Extraordinary University in three years.

Five years later, the students of the three extraordinary academies began to graduate.

The martial arts instructors at all the extraordinary universities will all be extraordinary individuals.

Even ten years later, advanced martial arts instructors at extraordinary universities will require candidates to be at the Innate Realm.

That will be the time for a comprehensive reform of Extraordinary University.

The so-called comprehensive reform means transforming schools that currently train martial artists into schools that train extraordinary individuals.

High schools, on the other hand, will replace extraordinary universities as the cradle for training martial artists.

This is also the educational development plan for the second decade of the Extraordinary Era.

It can be said that the first decade of the Extraordinary Era has laid the framework for the development of the human race.

The second decade is for laying the foundation.

When the third decade arrives, that will be the time when humanity truly begins to take off.

At that time, not only will the extraordinary begin to take off.

Human society will also fully enter the interstellar age.

Interstellar travel is no longer a dream.

The blueprint that Minister Xie drew up before the Extraordinary Era is being realized one by one.

And it happens faster than most people imagine.

The wheels of time are rolling forward, and they are moving forward at an unstoppable pace.

This is a momentous change unprecedented in a thousand, ten thousand, or even ten million years.

The scenes depicted in myths and science fiction films will eventually become reality.
……

Two months later.

The Mars exploration plan, which was set a year ago, has officially begun.

This time is slightly later than before.

The main reason for this is to wait for the manufacture of the second source energy armor.

three days ago.

Jiang Zhe and Xiao Wen finally succeeded in creating the second source energy armor.

During this period, Yuan Liren successfully broke through to the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, becoming the fourth known Grandmaster.

He also became the first extraordinary individual to simultaneously master the second stage of the Law's intent and reach the late stage of Dark Force in martial arts.

However, although Gen Reijin broke through both the realm of laws and martial arts at the same time.

However, since he has only recently broken through, his strength is probably about the same as Ji Xuan's.

In addition, Ji Xuan has also made great progress.

Although he did not break through to the late stage of Dark Force in martial arts.

But he has already grasped the second kind of artistic conception.

The essence of fire.

However, this happened much later than he had expected.

Or rather, he had underestimated the difficulty of mastering the second kind of law conception.

In fact, if Ji Xuan hadn't gained some insights from the visualization method, which greatly enhanced his mental strength, it would be quite uncertain whether he could control the second kind of law intent.

That's right, to master the second kind of law and realm, one needs to not only comprehend it.

It also places extremely high demands on mental strength.

Even if an ordinary person can comprehend it, they cannot control the second state of mind if their mental strength is insufficient.

Without visualization techniques, even a grandmaster's spiritual power is insufficient.

However, Ji Xuan did not fully comprehend the visualization method.

He is still far behind Qingyue. Two years ago, Qingyue was just one step away from mastering the basics!

Of course, whether this path is the right one remains to be seen.

It's possible that this path is wrong, and then you'll never get started.

As for Nangong Hong, he has already broken through to the peak of Dark Force.

He became the person with the highest level of martial arts so far.

With his breakthrough in martial arts realm, it probably won't be long before he breaks through to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Now, even Ji Xuan is no match for him in terms of strength.

Although Ji Xuan mastered the second realm of intent, it did not significantly improve his strength.

The reason for this is that Ji Xuan discovered that the two artistic conceptions are mutually exclusive.

Therefore, he simply cannot utilize the power of two different states of mind simultaneously.

It can be said that mastering the second state of mind is of no use to him now.

This led Ji Xuan to begin to doubt whether mastering the second law was a mistake in itself.

But Ji Xuan quickly put the idea out of his mind.

In his view, since the Origin Ancestor had mastered several laws and concepts at the same time, there should be no problem with this path.

Ultimately, he attributed the problem to mental strength.

It is very likely that the reason why one cannot simultaneously unleash two different states of mind is simply because one's mental strength is insufficient.

Besides the breakthroughs made by those three.

Two other people also successfully broke through to the Grandmaster realm: Ji Ruxue and Mills.

The reason they were able to break through in just over a year was because their martial arts realm had reached the late stage of Dark Force.

Otherwise, it would probably take at least three more years to become a Grandmaster.

Of course, they weren't the only two who broke through to the late stage of Dark Force in martial arts.

These two just broke through earlier.

Two others had just recently broken through to the late stage of Dark Force.

They are Wei Lingjun and Bai Zhengyu.

That's right, Wei Lingjun, who had been keeping a low profile, broke through to the late stage of Dark Force before Bai Zhengyu.

Over the years, Wei Lingjun's presence has remained relatively low-key.

Apart from his classmates, almost no one outside the industry knows him.

Even many people from the Origin Academy had little impression of him.

Compared to the renowned figures like Nangong Hong, Ji Xuan, and Sikong Yang, he was practically invisible.

Even so, Wei Lingjun quietly broke through to the late stage of Dark Force.

However, only six people were selected to go to Mars.

Therefore, Wei Lingjun and Bai Zhengyu naturally had no chance!

Bai Zhengyu was naturally very dissatisfied with this, while Wei Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief.

He had absolutely no interest in going to Mars.

Keep in mind, this is a journey to another planet hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Earth; who knows what dangers might lurk there.

Despite the high contribution points this mission offered, he remained equally interested.

If you can survive, don't be reckless.

This has always been Wei Lingjun's motto in life.

So even though he is now a top expert at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm, he still keeps a low profile.

He was the same even when facing those who had reached the Body Tempering Realm or ordinary people who had never cultivated.

After all, no one knows whether these people will become top experts in the future!
Like Fang Yuanhang, who entered the Origin Academy in the fifth year of the Extraordinary Era.

The other person's talent was no less than his, and perhaps even a little stronger.

As for Xuan Yuan Yun Gui, who entered the academy last year, he is even more abnormal than Nan Gong Hong.

In just over a year, this person's martial arts realm had already broken through to the Dark Force level.

Such a person is highly likely to surpass himself in the future.

There was also Liu Xiaoyan, who was in the same year as him. She was initially quite mediocre.

I originally thought that becoming a superhuman would just make me an ordinary grandmaster.

Who would have thought that this person could break through to the mid-stage of Dark Force by simply practicing basic martial arts?

His basic swordsmanship was so skillful that it was almost akin to the Dao.

Simply outrageous.

Wei Lingjun was speechless!
So never underestimate any ordinary person.

Even old men.

Didn't the dean only start cultivating when he was over sixty?

Minister Xie is also over seventy years old, yet he is still able to remain conscious.

finally.

The slots for the Mars mission were all finalized yesterday.

They are Nangong Hong, Ji Xuan, Sikong Yang, Yuan Liren, Mills, and Ji Ruxue.

Although only Nangong Hong can wear the Source Energy Armor for a relatively long time.

But the others were all Grandmasters, so at least they could wear it for a short time.

With several people working together, there will be plenty of areas to explore.

The time came to March 1st of the eleventh year of the Extraordinary Era.

Nangong Hong and the others officially boarded the newly manufactured spaceship and left Earth.

This spaceship carries enough high-grade source crystals to sustain it for five to ten years.

Their exploration is expected to last a year.

Including travel time, it would take about three to five years.

"Hopefully, they'll run into Xia Yuan on Mars!"

Watching the spaceship disappear rapidly into the horizon, Minister Xie and Li Qingxuan's eyes held a hint of anticipation.
