I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 655 A Stormy Night and Subtle Currents
With the changes at Origin Academy, many people and extraordinary forces outside the academy have also been affected, to varying degrees.

In the past, thanks to their relationship with the students of Origin Academy, they were often able to receive some high-quality missions with excellent cost performance.

Some factions have even formed a hidden chain of interests around a few students who have outsourcing needs.

They put in the effort and take certain risks to earn contribution points for the trainees.

Trainees, on the other hand, use their privileged status to obtain tasks and take a cut from them.

Both parties take what they need.

But now, the new rules of the Origin Academy are like a sharp knife, ruthlessly severing this chain of interests.

Of course, the ties of mutual interest between them have not been completely severed.

It's just that one link in the chain of interests has been broken.

These students who are selected to enter the Origin Academy are the chosen ones chosen from among millions of people, and their talent and potential are beyond doubt.

Even if they ultimately fail to make it to the end under the academy's cruel new rules and cannot enter the decision-making core circle like Ji Xuan and Nangong Hong, their future achievements should not be underestimated.

Breaking through to the Unity Realm in the future and becoming a powerful figure guarding a region, or a mid-to-high-level manager in a department of the People's Federation, is not a difficult task.

Therefore, for many external forces, maintaining good relations with these top geniuses remains a sure-fire way to make money.

Many people want to connect but haven't had the chance yet.

Not just any person or force deserves the attention of the students at Origin Academy.
……

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, half a year later.

During this period, the turmoil caused by the change in Origin Academy's policies has gradually subsided.

However, the commotion caused by the improvement of the Wanxiang Sky Road has attracted the attention of many people.

First, there are the areas where monsters reside, such as the Emerald Islands.

In the past six months, countless powerful monsters have been disappearing one by one.

Some students from Lingxiao Academy had personally witnessed Wu Zong taking away these demonic beasts.

The same scene was also noticed by people at Aurora Academy and Starshine Academy.

This left the students of the three extraordinary academies, and even some of their mentors, quite puzzled, wondering what was going on.

At the same time, Qiming Airport, one of the five major airports in Yuexing, has raised its security level to an unprecedented level.

This area is designated as a strictly military-controlled zone, and any unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching.

Furthermore, those with more intelligence sources have discovered that the flow of resources within the People's Federation has undergone a significant change.

Massive amounts of building materials, materials needed to set up the energy matrix, and even level four and five spiritual plants were continuously transported to Moonstar.

This scale of resource mobilization far exceeds the needs of the Lunar Base's daily maintenance and expansion.

With all the signs combined, even though the senior members of the People's Federation have not made any public statement, many people outside already know some of the information.

There was no way around it; the commotion caused by this operation was simply too great!
The number of personnel mobilized was extremely large, almost comparable to the investment in building Xinyuan City.

So even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it at all.

Xinyuan City.

The headquarters of the Tiangang Alliance.

Looking at Song Yuqing, who had just returned from outside, Wang Wenjun quickly asked:

"How about it?"

Song Yuqing nodded, her face showing disbelief, and lowered her voice to say:
"The news is basically confirmed! What's being said outside is true!"

"I asked several instructors who have entered the military and Lingxiao Academy to inquire about it. Although they signed confidentiality agreements and dared not say much about the details, all things considered, it is definitely a world-shaking plan!"

"The Emerald Islands, the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the Arctic Ocean—these are almost all habitats of large monsters, and they have all been cleared out in the past six months!"

"Even now, almost every day, innate and even grandmaster-level demonic beasts are being eliminated."

"The ones who made the move were none other than the Martial Sect, Wind Sect, Sword Sect, Saber Sect, Spirit Sect, and Grandmaster Mills!"

At this point, Song Yuqing paused for a moment before continuing:
"However, those monsters were not killed directly, but captured alive and moved!"

"Capture alive and then transfer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

What is this for?
Moreover, most of them are Grandmaster-level monsters?
These people had all been to the Emerald Islands for training and knew very well how troublesome the monsters were.

A grandmaster might be able to kill a demon beast at the grandmaster level with ease, but capturing it alive is no simple matter.

This is more than ten times harder than simply killing someone.

No wonder they had to send out these top-tier experts at the Unity Realm.

"Yes, all the captured demonic beasts were eventually transported to Qiming Airport on Moonstar!"

"Qiming Airport is now under complete lockdown. It's said that it has undergone massive renovations and doesn't look like an airport at all; it's more like a huge monster transit base!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yang couldn't help but ask:
"Why did they bring so many demonic beasts to Moonstar? Is Earth unable to contain them? Or are they worried about them posing a threat to Earth?"

Nobody understood the point of doing this.
If there are too many monsters on Earth that could pose a threat, then we can just wipe them out!
Why go through all that trouble to move it?
"It doesn't look like it!"

Just then, Song Xiaotong on the other side shook her head.

"Taking into account the massive amount of infrastructure materials, array materials, and especially those high-level spiritual plants that were transported to Moon Star at the same time, it's impossible that they were only there to deal with these demonic beasts."

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Shuai in front of her and asked:

"Commander Qin, could you ask Grandmaster Qin Xue? She might know more about it."

Faced with the series of major moves by the Origin Academy and the Human Alliance leadership, the Heavenly Gang Alliance has realized that something big is likely to happen.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

Under such circumstances, they must obtain as much intelligence as possible in advance.

Otherwise, if something really big happens, they won't even have time to prepare.

This might cause us to miss out on many opportunities.

The Heavenly Gang Alliance has evolved to a point where it is no longer what it was at the beginning!

Now, it not only has thirty-one official members, all of whom are at the Grandmaster level, but also has over a thousand subordinate forces.

Among these thousands of people, more than two hundred are extraordinary individuals.

It can be described as a force to be reckoned with in the Nine Provinces and even the Earth.

There are no more than ten extraordinary forces on the entire planet that are larger than them.

As the leader of the alliance, Qin Zhi and several core managers bear a heavy responsibility, and every decision they make is related to the future of the entire alliance.

At such a critical juncture, being slow at one step could mean being slow at every step.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuai waved his hand helplessly.

"My younger sister accepted a mission to Mars a year ago."

"It will probably take another two or three years before he can come back."

Heading to Mars?

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then many people showed envy on their faces.

Everyone knows that the mission that contributes the most points right now is the Mars exploration mission.

However, only the strongest members of the Origin Academy are qualified to accept such missions.

Outsiders, unless they are from the research-oriented Kunlun Academy or Lingguang Academy, have absolutely no chance.

Of course, even if they were qualified, their abilities were far from sufficient.

To travel to Mars, one needs at least the strength of a Grandmaster.

The requirements for combat-oriented classes are even higher, generally requiring top-tier Grandmasters at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Their Heavenly Gang Alliance's strongest member is only at the sixth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm; they haven't even reached the Grandmaster level yet.

This is also why the Heavenly Gang Alliance has never been able to join the top tier.

They lack top-tier combat capabilities.

Top forces like Dawn, Eternity, and Stars, even if they don't have Grandmasters from the Origin Academy in charge.

The strongest member of the Dawn Society has even reached the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm.

If the Heavenly Gang Alliance wants to join the ranks of the top powers, it must produce a Grandmaster.

The most promising candidate right now is Qin Zhi, who reached the late stage of Dark Force in martial arts six months ago.

It will only take a maximum of two years to achieve a breakthrough.

In addition, Fu Hongkang, Zhuang Yang, and Song Yuqing are also at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Moreover, Zhuang Yang's martial arts realm also broke through to the late stage of Dark Force, even two years earlier than Qin Zhi's.

However, due to the significant initial difference in strength between the two, and the fact that he initially received fewer resources than Qin Zhi, he has only just broken through to the sixth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm. But given his martial arts prowess, it won't take him more than three years to reach the Grandmaster level.

From this perspective, it would only take him about seventeen years to cultivate from the first stage of the Transcendent Realm to the final stage of the Transcendent Realm.

This is already considered extremely genius!

After all, the resources he obtained were far less than those of the geniuses at Origin Academy.

If he could be given enough resources and the training environment of the Origin Academy, there might actually be a slight chance that he could break through to the Grandmaster level within ten years.

Of course, within the Origin Academy, breaking through to the Grandmaster level in ten years is not difficult, or rather, it is very common.

In today's Origin Academy, if one cannot integrate artistic conception into martial arts, or reach the peak of Dark Force in martial arts at the seventh or even sixth level of Transcendent Realm, then one cannot be considered a top genius at all.

As for the Law, one also needs to master two second-stage realms or one third-stage realm at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm.

This is the threshold for becoming a top genius.

Zhuang Yang's talent is far inferior to theirs.

Only those who ranked in the top five of the first Heavenly Pride Ranking can be considered true top geniuses.

For example, Chen Feng, who won first place back then.

He successfully entered the Origin Academy in the 20th year of the Extraordinary Era, and then only took nine years to cultivate from the first level of Transcendent to the seventh level of Transcendent.

He has now reached the peak of the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, which is an extremely exaggerated cultivation speed!

Just then, Wang Wenjun couldn't help but speak up:
"Brother Zhi, why don't we go ask them?"

However, before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhi waved his hand and interrupted him!
"No need, there's no need for that!"

Qin Zhi naturally knew what Wang Wenjun was going to say.

Six months ago, Xia Yuan came to see them.

At that time, Xia Yuan said that he would be living in Panlong Town for a long time to come, and that if they needed any help, they could go to him.

If we go to Xia Yuan about what's happening right now, we can definitely get the most accurate answer.

However, this matter could very well involve the SUPP's top secrets.

If we rashly ask Xia Yuan, it might put him in a difficult position.

Most importantly, Qin Zhi didn't want to bother Xia Yuan every time something happened.

Six months ago, he was able to break through to the late stage of Dark Force because of Xia Yuan's help.

Otherwise, given his talent, it would probably take him several more years to break through.

Xia Yuan had already laid the foundation for him to become a Grandmaster, which was a great help.

How could they possibly continue to try to gather information through Xia Yuan?

"Big brother, fourth brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhuang Yang and the others stood to the side, their faces full of doubt.

Qin Shuai and Grandmaster Qin Xue are siblings, and all of them know this.

When Zhuang Yang and his companions first heard the news, they were utterly shocked.

Grandmaster Qin Xue's fame among extraordinary individuals is in no way inferior to that of the Martial Sect and the Wind Sect!

After all, she pioneered a new era of cultivation methods for the Body Tempering Realm.

The first person to know about embarking on the path to extraordinary status is Grandmaster Qin Xue.

But now, besides Grandmaster Qin Xue, could their Heavenly Gang Alliance have some other connections?

Judging from the tone of Wang Wenjun and Qin Zhi, it seemed that asking would definitely get them an answer.

What kind of identity must this person have?
High-ranking members of the People's Federation?

Or are you referring to those top-tier beings in the Unity Realm?

But that's impossible.

If they had this connection, their Heavenly Gang Alliance would definitely be able to develop even better.

"Alright, stop thinking about it!"

"I can't tell you about this. Just pretend it doesn't exist."

Qin Zhi waved his hand, then smiled and changed the subject.

"No matter what, try your best to find out what happened!"

"In addition, Zhuang Yang and Yu Qing, you two should focus on cultivation from now on and strive to break through to the Grandmaster level as soon as possible!"

"The matters concerning the cultivation of spiritual plants and the research and development of level four extraordinary medicines will be temporarily entrusted to Lin Xiaoyu."

"I know, brother!"

Seeing that Qin Zhi said this, the two did not ask any further questions.

Through their interactions with Qin Zhi over the years, they have come to understand his personality very well.

Since they're not saying anything now, it means it does involve a secret they can't know.

But the more this happened, the more curious the two of them became.

The Heavenly Gang Alliance seems to be more complex than they imagined.

"Second brother, wait a minute!"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Qin Zhi called out to Fu Hongkang.

Fu Hongkang nodded.

He seemed to know why Qin Zhi had called him over.

In recent years, Earth and even the Moon have been very turbulent.

Martial arts schools and affiliated forces under their Tiangang Alliance have been inexplicably attacked and killed many times in recent years.

Three years ago, a team of superhumans escorting a supernatural potion was even attacked.

In the end, all eighteen extraordinary individuals in that team, including three at the Innate Realm, perished.

This wasn't the only attack.

In the past two or three years, there have been no fewer than ten similar incidents.

The other party was ruthless and had a clear objective: to target the Tiangang Alliance's transport team carrying important supplies.

However, the person who did it was very professional and extremely capable, and the location they chose was very well hidden, so much so that even the Hall of Judgment couldn't find out about it later.

Moreover, it wasn't just the Heavenly Gang Alliance; it's said that many other extraordinary forces were also attacked and killed.

As a result, the relationship between the major powers has become increasingly tense in recent years, with each suspecting the other of being responsible.

"it's not true."

"In the past six months, there have been almost no large-scale resource grabbing incidents."

"It's highly likely that because several top figures have been on Earth, those in the shadows don't dare to make any moves."

"So let's put this matter aside for now."

Qin Zhi shook his head, then smiled and said:

"I called you because of Brother Yuan's instructions."

"He said that when you feel that you can't make any progress in your martial arts, you should go to him."

"You should have reached the peak of the mid-stage of Dark Force by now, just one step away from the late stage, right?"

"Ok!"

Fu Hongkang's eyes lit up immediately.

So, does that mean he can break through to the late stage of Dark Force?

Xia Yuan had said that only Qin Zhi met the requirements, and it turns out that this was the reason.

"However, once you get there, it's best not to ask any other questions."

"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hongkang nodded.

He naturally understood what Qin Zhi meant.

"Okay, then hurry up and go over there!"

"Strive to break through to the late stage of Dark Force as soon as possible."

Qin Zhi smiled and then continued:

"Currently, our Tiangang Alliance lacks truly high-end combat power, which makes us somewhat hesitant in many situations, and we are simply not qualified to participate in many things."

"Once you also break through to the late stage of Dark Force, it won't be long before we have three more Grandmasters."
