I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 675 Educational Reform Enters a New Stage!

As the last second of the thirty-ninth year of the Extraordinary Era came to a complete end, time moved on to the fortieth year of the Extraordinary Era.

Midnight.

The registration channel for Vientiane Skyway has finally been completely closed.

Kyoto, Kyushu, the headquarters of the People's Federation.

Xie Xuan looked at one of the staff members beside him and asked:
"How many extraordinary individuals have registered to enter the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road?"

"The statistics have just come out."

The staff member quickly operated the control panel, his tone tinged with awe.

"A total of 13428 extraordinary individuals have been confirmed to have registered and meet the basic requirements!"

"Among them, there are 2817 extraordinary individuals at the Innate Realm, 9874 Grandmasters, and 737 Great Grandmasters!"

"so much?"

Xie Xuan was stunned when he heard the number 20,000.

Although he had anticipated that many people would want to enter the Vientiane Sky Road, he was still a little taken aback when he saw the exact number.

It should be noted that there are only about 15,000 registered Transcendent Realm extraordinary individuals in the entire human race.

In other words, almost two-thirds of the grandmasters signed up.

This is already an outrageous figure.

After all, the People's Federation had previously announced the dangers of the Vientiane Skyway, and many people should be able to guess that the assessment threshold would certainly not be low.

In the end, so many masters still chose to register.

As for the Grandmasters, nine out of ten chose to sign up.

Besides.

There are actually nearly three thousand people at the Innate Realm?
According to staff, there are not only late-stage congenital diseases, but also a small number of mid-stage congenital diseases.

How can someone in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm possess the skills of a Grandmaster comparable to an ordinary Transcendent Realm cultivator?

To possess strength comparable to an ordinary first-stage Transcendent Grandmaster in the Innate Realm, one's martial arts realm must reach the initial stage of Dark Force.

If one has only entered the realm of internal strength, even if one can grasp the essence, it will be difficult to be a match for a Grandmaster in the Transcendent Realm.

After all, the gap in raw strength between the Innate Realm and the Grandmaster Realm is enormous.

The former has a strength of only two thousand kilograms, while the latter only needs to reach the peak of Ming Jin to easily break through four thousand kilograms.

The difference in strength is almost double.

In this situation, if an innate individual wants to defeat a grandmaster, they must have an absolute advantage in martial arts realm, combat skills, law intent, and even equipment.

Otherwise, it's practically impossible to win.

Nearly three thousand people have signed up, including dozens of those at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

It seems that the allure of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road is even greater than they originally imagined.

Of course, although more than 13,000 people signed up, the number of people who could actually get in was definitely not that many.

The People's League expects to have around 3000 seats, and at most no more than 4,000.

Moreover, approximately 10% of them are eliminated every three years.

By the time the last three years are up, the number of extraordinary individuals in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path should be reduced to only about three to four hundred.

Unfortunately, there aren't enough resources to train so many strong individuals in such a short time.

Therefore, we can only select the strongest group and give them the best conditions.

When these people emerge from the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road, they will inevitably have reached the Unity Realm.

Some people even reach the second or third stage of returning to oneness.

It's not impossible.

Like Nangong Hong.

He cultivated in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path for thirty years; it's not impossible for him to reach the third realm of Unity.

Of course, the path to the third realm has not yet been deduced.

Even the second realm, the Bone and Tendon Realm, still exists only in theory and has not been put into practice.

"Alright, now that the registration process is complete, let's make the most of the remaining time to prepare for the assessment!"

"Just follow the previous standard. We should prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to those who enter the Vientiane Heavenly Road."

"Yes!"

One of the people next to Xie Xuan nodded.

The standards for the qualification trials were set at a high-level meeting a year ago.

The requirement for the first and second stages of Transcendent Realm is that one's martial arts realm is no weaker than that of an extraordinary individual who has reached the early stage of Dark Force and comprehended the essence of the martial arts.

The opponent at the third or fourth level of the Transcendent Realm became a mid-stage Dark Force Realm opponent.

The fifth stage of Transcendent Realm is the late stage of Dark Force.

The opponent, who was at the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm, had not only reached the late stage of Dark Force, but also the second stage of Law Intent.

A Grandmaster at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm possesses the peak strength of Dark Force.

As for the Grandmasters at the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Their opponents not only reached the peak of the Dark Force realm in martial arts, but also mastered extraordinary martial arts techniques.

Of course, the above only represents the difficulty level of the trials for martial arts grandmasters.

The path of laws is less difficult, since those who follow the laws are generally weaker in combat.

However, even if the difficulty of the Law Path test is slightly lower, it is not much less.

The main reason is that most of the top geniuses who follow the path of laws either cultivate martial arts as well, or they begin to comprehend the second kind of law conception very early on.

In recent years, with the emergence of extraordinary martial arts and the clarification of the cultivation path to the Unity Realm,

The concept of cultivating both magic and martial arts has gradually become a consensus among top geniuses.

After all, if you want to learn extraordinary martial arts, you must be proficient in both martial arts and the essence of laws.

Moreover, pure martial arts or the path of laws may each have their own strengths and weaknesses at lower levels.

However, the higher the level, the more important the complementarity between the two becomes.

Especially after reaching the Unity Realm, it will further affect the opening of acupoints.

Therefore, extraordinary individuals who aspire to go further are unlikely to be content with just one path.

Those who cultivate martial arts or the realm of laws alone will only be able to achieve a high level in a particular path.

Otherwise, he could not be called a top genius at all.

The ultimate goal of the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Path is to cultivate these top geniuses.
……

With Xie Xuan's order issued, the People's Federation began to operate efficiently.

The specific details and standards of the Path of Heaven qualification trial were quickly communicated to all the extraordinary individuals who had successfully registered.

Xinyuan City, the headquarters of the Tiangang Alliance.

Upon seeing the difficulty of the qualification trial, Fu Hongkang gave a wry smile.

Standing to the side, Zhuang Yang couldn't help but complain:

"Isn't this threshold a bit too high?"

"Does the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm require the strength of the peak of the Dark Force Realm?"

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

"If this standard is used, then probably more than half of the grandmasters would not meet the requirements!"

Previously, they thought that with their Grandmaster strength, entering the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road should not be a difficult task.

But now they realize that the standards of the Vientiane Skyway are far higher than they imagined.

Although their Heavenly Gang Alliance has three Grandmasters, they are all only at the late stage of Dark Force.

As for extraordinary martial arts, no one has mastered them yet.

Only Zhuang Yang has grasped the method of integrating artistic conception into martial arts, but he has not yet begun to learn extraordinary martial arts.

With such strength, there's no need for them to even participate in the assessment.

Unlike the others, Qin Zhi's expression did not change.

He didn't seem surprised by the result.

After all, who among those who can break through to the Grandmaster level at this point hasn't reached the late stage of Dark Force?
If the threshold is too low, wouldn't all grandmasters be able to get in?

This is obviously unrealistic.

"It doesn't matter!"

Qin Zhi waved his hand and then continued:

"Although a few of us can't go in, the others aren't without hope."

"Isn't Eighth Sister at the late stage of Dark Force? Although her artistic conception hasn't reached the second stage yet, she might still pass the test."

"Several others also meet the requirements, especially the 25th brother, who has already reached the early stage of Dark Force at only the second stage of Transcendent Realm."

"Furthermore, he has grasped the essence of wind, so passing the test should be no problem at all."

Upon hearing Qin Zhi mention the 25th brother, a smile flashed across the faces of the group.

This twenty-fifth brother is named Ji Hao.

This person is a genius they discovered from the martial arts school.

Ji Hao's family was not well-off; his parents were ordinary wage earners who could not have supported him on the path to extraordinary achievements or allowed him to study at a martial arts school.

However, Tiangang Martial Arts Academy has a fixed number of places each year, and you don't need to pay tuition as long as you pass the academy's assessment.

Twelve years ago, Ji Hao entered the Tiangang Martial Arts Academy through an examination.

With the help of the Tiangang Martial Arts Academy, Ji Hao first gained admission to Kyoto Extraordinary University, and then entered Lingxiao Academy, a remarkable feat of overcoming adversity.

Unfortunately, he failed the Origin Academy's assessment.

There's no way around it, the competition at Origin Academy is just too fierce!

To escape and enter the Origin Academy now, one basically needs to reach the early stage of Dark Force at the Innate Realm.

Otherwise, there is virtually no chance.

Of course, Ji Hao's talent is already very strong.

Given his level of cultivation, as long as his combat ability isn't too poor, it's safe to say he'll be able to enter the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path.

"Sixth Brother, in the remaining six months, give him some special training to improve his combat skills!"

"Don't worry, brother, leave this to me!"

Zhuang Yang patted his chest and nodded with a smile.

……

Meanwhile, at Kyoto Extraordinary University.

"Do you want to reach the peak of Dark Force?"

Zhu Wanqin glanced at the message she had just received, then quickly put it aside.

If it's just a trial of this level, then it's not difficult for her at all.

Of course, Zhu Wanqin did not believe that the assessment was difficult enough for her to fail.

She is a seventh-level Grandmaster who has reached the peak of Dark Force in martial arts, the second stage of Wind Intent, and has also mastered an extraordinary martial art.

Such strength is not weak even within the Origin Academy.

If she can't pass the test, then there probably aren't many Grandmasters in the entire human race who are qualified.

To be honest, Zhu Wanqin's existence has astonished countless people.

It's truly inspiring that a martial arts teacher from an extraordinary university could become a grandmaster.

Many people regard her as a role model.

Besides.

There is another person who is slightly inferior to Zhu Wanqin, but also has the strength of the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm!
This person is Zhou Qiyuan from Jiangcheng Chaofan University.

The existence of these two people.

This proves that even without a good training environment, one can still reach the peak through their own efforts and talent.

However, if they knew how much help Zhu Wanqin and Zhou Qiyuan had received, they wouldn't have said that.

Do you really think that having strong talent means you can cultivate so quickly?

Like Zhu Wanqin.

Without Fang Hang's help and resources, how could she have become a Grandmaster so quickly?

You're dreaming!
The same applies to Zhou Qiyuan.

During his cultivation process, which of the three—Miao Danqiu, Long Youzhu, and Li Yan—didn't help him?
In this world, there has never been a myth that one can easily reach the top simply by relying on talent.

Talent is the ticket to the game.

To go further on the path to extraordinary success, resources, opportunities, connections, and even a bit of luck are all indispensable.

The All-Encompassing Sky Road is precisely the opportunity that the People's Federation gives to those geniuses who truly possess top-notch talent but may be limited by their background and resources to rise to prominence fairly.

"Principal Zhu, Principal Yue requests your presence!"

Just then, a staff member from the school walked over.

His gaze toward Zhu Wanqin was filled with awe.

The person before us is the only Grandmaster among the nearly 150 extraordinary universities in the Nine Provinces and even the world.

Therefore, at Kyoto Extraordinary University, Zhu Wanqin's prestige far surpassed that of Yue Yutang, who had only reached the fourth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm.

"Ok!"

Zhu Wanqin nodded and soon appeared in the principal's office.

"Here you go, sit down!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yue Yutang beamed with joy.

Because of Zhu Wanqin's presence, Kyoto Extraordinary University now firmly holds the top position among extraordinary universities.

The resources it receives each year far exceed those of other universities.

To enter Kyoto Extraordinary University now, one must be a level 5 martial artist.

Without becoming a level 5 martial artist, one is not even qualified to apply.

As for the martial arts instructors at Kyoto Chaofan University, there are now nearly sixty of them.

Forty of them were at the Innate Realm, and the remaining dozen or so were all Grandmasters.

Of course, most of these are in the early stages of transformation.

Only two people have reached the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Yue Yutang was one of them.

However, this is already considered extremely luxurious.

Of all these extraordinary universities, only Kyoto Extraordinary University has so many masters.

Some universities that have only been established for a short time have their strongest members who are only at the Innate Realm.

"You should have already seen the qualification test standards for the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path, right?"

Yue Yutang personally poured Zhu Wanqin a cup of tea, his tone filled with concern.

"How's it going? Are you sure?"

Zhu Wanqin took the teacup, her expression calm:

"It's not a big problem."

"That's good, that's good!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Yutang's smile widened even more.

If Zhu Wanqin can enter the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road, then their Kyoto Extraordinary University might produce a Returning One Realm expert.

The Unity Realm—this is the true pinnacle of human power!
"However, you still need to be careful once you go in; the dangers inside are considerable."

"Don't worry, Principal!"

Zhu Wanqin nodded.

In terms of management skills, she is indeed inferior to Yue Yutang.

But when it comes to survival experience, Yue Yutang can't even come close to him.

"Principal, you called me here not just to talk about the Wanxiang Tianlu project, right?"

"Ok!"

Yue Yutang nodded, suppressing his excitement as he spoke:
"According to the Ministry of Education's plan, starting next year, our Kyoto Extraordinary University will be officially upgraded to an Extraordinary Academy."

"Advancement to the Extraordinary Academy?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhu Wanqin's face.

This is definitely a good thing for both the school and her.

Because once you are promoted to an extraordinary academy, the resources you receive will increase significantly.

“That’s right, but although we have been promoted to an extraordinary academy, we are still different from other extraordinary academies.”

"From now on, the thirteen extraordinary academies will only admit students who have reached the Transcendent Realm."

"Our Kyoto Extraordinary Academy will take their place, training students in the Body Tempering and Innate Realm."

Zhu Wanqin nodded.

She was not surprised by this situation.

After all, compared to those formal extraordinary academies, Kyoto Extraordinary University is still far behind.

In a true extraordinary academy, even the weakest instructor is at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm, and the dean is a grandmaster at the eighth or even ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.

They are simply not comparable to them.

"So, it seems that Kyoto Extraordinary University isn't the only one that's been promoted to an extraordinary academy this time?"

"Ah."

Yue Yutang nodded slightly.

"Together with us, including Jiangcheng Extraordinary University and Haicheng Extraordinary University, a total of thirty schools have become the new generation of Extraordinary Academies."

"With this policy in place, the number of superhumans will increase several times over!"

indeed.

In the past, the number of people who could become extraordinary individuals was around five to eight thousand per year.

But it’s different now!

There are 30 schools, and the number of students enrolled each year will reach as many as 30,000.

That means there will be at least 30,000 more extraordinary individuals each year.

This number is extremely astonishing, meaning that the reserves of human superhuman power are about to enter a period of rapid growth.

"This is an inevitable trend."

Yue Yutang sighed.

"As the supernatural has developed to its current state, the human race's demand for supernatural beings, especially for those at the bottom and in the middle ranks, will become increasingly greater."

"The existing thirteen top-tier colleges alone are no longer sufficient to meet this demand."
