I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 654 The Origin of the Unity Realm's Strength and Changes in the Academy
The meeting then continued for several more hours.

The timetable, resource allocation, and details of the first phase have been finalized.

Half a day later.

When everyone left the meeting room, their expressions were extremely solemn.

The announcements at today's meeting were so shocking that many people are still not fully processing them.

However, Mills and the others looked more helpless than anything else.

They're all going to be very busy in the coming days!
After all, the task of transferring demonic beasts can only be accomplished by extraordinary individuals at the Unity Realm.

Below the Unity Realm, there is no way to subdue and safely control those ferocious and enormous high-level demonic beasts, let alone carry out interstellar transfer.

If things go wrong, the monsters might riot during transport, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mills couldn't help but rub his temples.

He had just broken through to the Unity Realm when he was conscripted into the army.

This is also the main reason why all of them, who are at the Unity Realm, were called to the meeting.

The thought of having to relocate thousands of monsters sent chills down his spine.

This is no easy task.

Ji Xuan smiled and patted Mills on the shoulder.

"Stop making that face. It's a good opportunity to use those demonic beasts to familiarize yourself with your newly broken-through strength!"

Nangong Hong added casually from the side.

"Be careful to control your strength, so as not to cause serious injury or waste resources."

Mills's lips twitched.

Shouldn't you be saying this to yourself?

However, when he noticed the way the other people around him were looking at him, Milton's face immediately darkened.

What do you mean?
Although he enjoys the feeling of punches landing hard, does he still need you to remind him of the basic skill of controlling his strength?
Sikong Yang nodded as well.

“That’s right. I advise you to familiarize yourself with your own strength first, otherwise your recoil force could easily kill those weaker monsters.”

Ji Xuan suppressed a laugh and added another sentence.

"After all, you just broke through, your power has increased dramatically, and you're not as precise in controlling your power as you used to be."

"Don't end up punching a monster and turning its internal organs to dust, even if it looks fine on the outside. That would be a real waste."

"And you also need to control your spiritual pressure, otherwise those newly awakened demonic beasts might die directly."

Minamoto Reihito said one last thing.

"Also, be careful not to use source energy indiscriminately!"

"..."

Mills felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

What do these guys think he is?

Is it a humanoid self-propelled demolition machine?
Or is he just a reckless man with zero self-control?

He had at least reached the peak of Dark Force, and was only one step away from Transformation Force.

However, what Minamoto no Reijin said is correct.

Indeed, we cannot use source energy casually.

The difference between the original Qi and Blood and the current Source Energy is like a chasm.

for example.

If the same attack method uses 10,000 kilograms of vital energy, then the minimum amount of source energy used can reach 20,000 kilograms.

Therefore, if one uses source energy carelessly, it is easy to accidentally kill those demonic beasts in the Transcendent Realm.

This is why there is a huge improvement in strength after breaking through to the Unity Realm.

This is mainly due to the existence of source energy.

Oh right, and the soul.

If we're talking about physical strength alone, then the Unity Realm, the first stage of the flesh and blood, isn't much stronger than the peak of the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

After all, the physical body doesn't actually undergo any fundamental changes when breaking through from the Transcendent Realm to the Unity Realm.

It's just that it's been tempered by an extra layer of skin and flesh.

Someone like Mills, who has just broken through to the Unity Realm, is actually no better than a peak ninth-level Transcendent Realm cultivator who unleashes his full power if he doesn't use his divine soul and source energy.

Of course, it's different if you have access to acupoints.

The acupoints are one of the key differences between the Unity Realm and the Mortal Transformation Realm.

They are the furnaces that carry and transform source energy, and also the nodes where the power of the soul and the physical body are closely integrated.

Each additional acupoint opened significantly enhances the control and output of source energy.

At the same time, the physical body will also receive the nourishment and tempering of the source energy, becoming more resilient and powerful.

Just like Nangong Hong.

Even without using source energy attacks, his physical strength alone might not be much weaker than Mills's when he uses his full power.

Because opening up acupoints is equivalent to building highly efficient energy furnaces and power amplifiers within the body.

Nangong Hong opened twenty-eight acupoints, which means that there are twenty-eight such "furnaces" in his body that are constantly in operation.

Even if he doesn't actively use source energy to attack.

The sheer power emanating from these acupoints and the sheer strength of the physical body alone already reached an extremely terrifying level.

Mills has just broken through, and he has only opened one acupoint, which is still in the initial nurturing stage, so naturally he cannot compare.

Let’s get back to the present.

Yuan Liren told Mills not to use source energy casually for another reason: it was wasteful.

In the past, the source of power in the body was qi and blood.

Qi and blood can be replenished through traditional Chinese medicine and even ordinary food, so there is no need to worry at all.

But things are different now!
If there is no external source energy, to replenish source energy, you can either use source crystals or level six source potions.

That's right, the sixth-order primordial potion has undergone a qualitative change.

It is no longer just a supplement to qi and blood, but contains a trace of extremely pure primordial energy.

Or rather, it can be described as a special energy that can stimulate the body to transform and generate weak source energy on its own.

However, a level six primordial potion requires level five spiritual plants to make.

Currently, the number of level 5 spiritual plants is extremely small, and the research and development costs are extremely high.

In the Human Alliance's contribution point exchange list, a standard unit of Tier 6 Origin Potion costs 500 contribution points.

It is ten times the strength of a level-five primordial medicine.

Many newly promoted masters can only afford to buy one item with their entire year's earnings.

Of course, this is on the premise that they are eligible to purchase.

Only those who have reached the Unity Realm are qualified to purchase Level 6 Origin Potions, and there is also a limit to the number each person can purchase.

With such a high price, the effect is naturally very strong.

The recovery speed of the Level 6 Origin Elixir is much faster than that of the Origin Crystal, and it can also quickly restore physical strength.

However, even Nangong Hong wouldn't dare to be so extravagant as to use a sixth-tier primordial potion to replenish his daily consumption.

This kind of medicine is generally used to open up acupoints or during cultivation.

To replenish your daily needs, using Source Crystals is sufficient!

Mills, who had just broken through, didn't have much source energy in his body; usually, ten source crystals would be enough to restore him to his peak.

As for Nangong Hong, if his internal source energy is exhausted, he will need at least fifty source crystals.

The greater the strength, the greater the consumption.

However, things are alright for now; fifty source crystals are not much to Nangong Hong.

If one cultivates to the peak of the Unity Realm and opens up new acupoints, it is very likely that replenishing one's source energy will require at least a thousand source crystals.

That's tens of thousands of contribution points.

It's unbelievable that such a huge amount of energy is being used just for recovery.

Therefore, it has become a consensus among almost all experts in the Unity Realm to avoid using source energy unless absolutely necessary.

no way.

We really can't afford to use it or repair it!

"All right!"

Xie Xuan interrupted the group who were imparting their experience to Mills, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.

What they said was correct.

After breaking through to the Unity Realm, the resource consumption is several times higher than that of the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Whether it's tempering the physical body, recovering from depletion, cultivating visualization techniques, opening acupoints, or improving martial arts and laws, a massive amount of resources are required.

To quickly improve your strength, you need to earn at least 50,000 contribution points every year.

And top geniuses like Nangong Hong will need even more.

Therefore, every resource must be used wisely.

Large-scale monster relocation missions like this are essentially training in the fine manipulation of power, rather than life-or-death battles, so using source energy would indeed be a huge waste.

Xie Xuan's gaze swept over the crowd, and he continued:
"Let's get moving! Qiming Airport will be used entirely to transfer the monsters."

"Be careful, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Especially during the transfer, if you lose control, you can kill them, but your own safety is the most important thing!"

"Don't worry, Dean. There won't be any problems if we just move some demonic beasts that are at most at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm."

Ji Xuan smiled, and then everyone left the academy.

Li Qingxuan watched as everyone left, let out a soft breath, and turned back to the dean's office.

He needs to coordinate internal resources within the academy to prepare for the upcoming large-scale transformation of the secret realm and the future path of trials.

……

At the same time, inside the college.

Wei Lingjun watched Mills and the others hurriedly leave, and stroked his chin.

"I have a feeling that something big is about to happen." Many other people share the same thought as him.

The gathering of so many top experts and high-ranking officials at Origin Academy, and the convening of a top-level meeting, naturally sparked countless speculations.

News of what happened at Origin Academy spread very quickly.

After all, many people outside the academy came from Origin Academy, and they maintain contact with the academy's mentors, students, and even staff.

With so many important figures appearing at the same time, it was impossible to completely keep it a secret.

Immediately, all sorts of speculations arose.

Public opinion continues to ferment.

However, the human race's leadership has not offered any explanation, leading many to wonder if they are simply overthinking things!
But a few days later.

A brand new policy has emerged at the Origin Academy.

Starting next year, the fixed contribution point subsidy for new combat trainees for the first five years will be cancelled.

Instead, a completely new ranking system has been implemented.

The higher the ranking, the more contribution points you can earn each year.

Second, significantly increase the contribution point rewards for cultivation and combat missions.

Thirdly, if one fails to become a Grandmaster within ten years, they will be directly assigned to various organizations within the People's Federation.

The same applies to those who cannot break through to the Unity Realm within thirty years.

Of course, there will also be rewards if you can break through ahead of schedule.

In any case, from now on only the most talented people will be able to retain their status as students of Origin Academy.

These three policies, like a depth charge, have triggered even greater upheavals within the already turbulent college!
"Ten years to become a Grandmaster? Thirty years to reach the Unity Realm?! That standard is too harsh!"

"Doesn't this mean that most people are destined to be eliminated from the academy?"

Some people couldn't help but frown.

For top geniuses, reaching the Grandmaster level in ten years is not actually that difficult.

However, breaking through to the Unity Realm in thirty years is still quite difficult.

This means that one must reach the peak of Dark Force in martial arts to break through to the Grandmaster level.

Otherwise, with only the martial arts realm of the late stage of Dark Force, it would be impossible to break through to the Unity Realm within the remaining twenty years.

Even if the resources available at the Origin Academy are far greater than those outside, it's still impossible.

A weak foundation is not so easy to make up for.

As for the law.

Either the two artistic conceptions have reached the second stage, or one of them has broken through to the third stage.

However, this is only the most basic requirement.

After all, the most important thing in breaking through to the Unity Realm is to condense the divine soul; without condensing the divine soul, there is no way to break through.

Therefore, as soon as this policy was introduced, it immediately drew opposition from many people.

Their problem wasn't just the lack of welfare benefits; more importantly, it was their status within the Origin Academy.

The significance of this identity alone, and the resources it can mobilize, far exceed what outsiders imagine.

As students of the Origin Academy, they not only receive contribution points for free and can purchase resources at a lower price and in greater quantities than outsiders, but they also always have priority in choosing tasks.

Many people don't even need to carry out the tasks; they simply hand over the tasks they've been assigned to outsiders to complete.

When it comes to calculating contribution points at the end, they even take the lion's share.

Nevertheless, many extraordinary individuals and powerful individuals still desire this opportunity.

On the one hand, it's because the tasks available to students of Origin Academy are indeed the most cost-effective.

Even if they only get a small share, they can still earn something.

On the other hand, because of the status of Origin Academy, no one dares to easily offend a top genius from Origin Academy.

More accurately, it's because they dare not offend the vast network of connections and future potential behind them.

Of course, the value of this investment in establishing a connection with a genius from the Origin Academy is also immeasurable.

Therefore, outsourcing tasks to others has become an unspoken understanding among many people.

After all, why not earn contribution points without doing anything?
However, once they lose their status as students of the Origin Academy, their status will be greatly diminished.

Not to mention that staying in the academy long-term means having continuous access to top-notch mentors and the best training environment.

To put it bluntly, the status of Grandmasters in the outside world is not even as high as that of Grandmasters in the Origin Academy.

This is not an exaggeration, but a harsh reality.

The Origin Academy brings together the most advanced resources, the most powerful mentors, the most advanced cultivation methods, and facilities of the human race.

The opportunities and resources that a Grandmaster student can access within the academy are indeed unmatched by those of a Grandmaster outside the academy.

Not to mention the invisible network of connections and future potential.

Many of the high-ranking members of the human race and the high-ranking members of the Extraordinary Academy today are from the Origin Academy.
Most importantly, the Origin Academy was established by the Origin Ancestor himself.

This has led to the Origin Academy's status gradually being mythologized by everyone.

Many of the top talents in the field have become accustomed to this superior status.

Losing their status as members of the Origin Academy would undoubtedly sever their greatest source of pride.

This is something that many people cannot accept.

The resulting backlash and panic were predictable.

Many students, especially those who were used to having such resources come so easily, as well as many grandmasters in the late stage of internal strength, were instantly in an uproar.

However, this time, the attitude of the college's higher-ups was more forceful than anyone had imagined.

All attempts to retaliate were futile.

Neither Li Qingxuan nor any other high-ranking officials appeared in person; only Gu Yunhai issued a cold, impersonal announcement:
[1. The Origin Academy aims to cultivate the backbone of humanity, enabling them to pave extraordinary paths and drive human development; it is not a platform for exchanging personal benefits.]

[2. All acts of 'task outsourcing' will be considered serious violations effective immediately. Once verified, the student involved will be immediately stripped of their academy status and all contribution points earned from the tasks will be recovered.]

3. The new standards represent the final decision of the academy's senior management, and no further explanation or discussion will be offered. Those who raise objections may apply to withdraw from Origin Academy at any time!

The room fell silent upon hearing the announcement.

It was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing all the restless thoughts.

No one is truly stupid.

Now that things have come to this, anyone who doesn't know when to back down will probably become the first to stick their neck out!

The main reason is that none of the top experts or high-ranking members of the Human Alliance stepped forward.

Under such circumstances, they have no choice but to accept it.

"Hmph, I've always felt the academy needed reforming!"

Situ Yanran snorted coldly.

Clearly, she was aware of these things at the academy.

However, too many people were involved, and since the dean and Ji Xuan hadn't said anything, she naturally couldn't interfere.

Upon hearing this, Wei Lingjun's face immediately stiffened.

He always felt that Situ Yanran was subtly criticizing him.

That's right.

As a high-ranking member of the academy, he also used this method to earn contribution points.

Therefore, he was one of the biggest beneficiaries.

However, Wei Lingjun knew his limits and never went too far in his actions, and he always did things very discreetly.

"Tsk tsk, what a pity we've lost a source of contribution points!"

Wei Lingjun shrugged and then smiled indifferently.

At his level of strength and status, his contributions could come from more than just this one source.

Apart from Situ Yanran.

Many people have no objection to the college's reforms, and some even support them more.

For truly top-tier geniuses, if contribution points are calculated based on ranking, they will undoubtedly receive more contribution points.

This move only affects those who are used to comfort.

"Resources should naturally flow to the strong! This is the opportunity I want!"

A glint of light flashed in Yi Chuan's eyes.

To be honest, when Yi Chuan first entered the Origin Academy, he was delighted by the fixed contribution point rewards.

But he soon discovered that this egalitarianism had, to some extent, dampened the spirit of some people.

Many highly talented students are content with following the established path of cultivation, completing trivial tasks, and slowly improving their abilities by relying on the academy's status and resources.

However, they lost the ruthlessness and sense of urgency they had when they were in the three extraordinary academies.

The new policy, though harsh, is like a powerful medicine, directly breaking the lukewarm situation.

Resources will be fully allocated to the top performers and the hardest-working individuals!

Competition will become more intense than ever before!
If you want to stay and achieve more, you must fight, compete, and prove your worth!
This was exactly what Yi Chuan wanted.

He is never afraid of competition; he is only afraid of not having enough opportunities and resources to catch up with the top performers ahead of him.

Otherwise, he would be letting down the original ancestor who helped him in the first place.

That's right.

He already knew that the one who had helped him was actually the Origin Ancestor.

It's hard to imagine that such a being would personally help someone as insignificant as him, who isn't even a superhuman.

Since that incident, his personality has completely changed!
"It seems I'll have to work even harder."

Yi Chuan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

He wasn't alone in thinking this way, especially among the top-ranked geniuses who were extremely confident in themselves. Their eyes gleamed with fighting spirit and excitement.

Of course, many more trainees felt unprecedented pressure.

Ten years to become a Grandmaster, thirty years to reach the final realm.

This is like a Damocles' sword hanging over one's head.

The atmosphere of the entire Origin Academy seemed to have undergone a subtle change overnight.

A sense of urgency and a competitive atmosphere began to permeate the air, sweeping away laziness and complacency.
