"Special training classes?"
Li Rong paused, genuinely confused. For a moment, he wondered whether the people outside had collectively awakened some kind of entrepreneurial martial spirit.
Bi Ji patiently explained everything from start to finish, then added, "At the moment, the Genius Competition Class at the Three Elements Academy is packed to the brim. There's an endless stream of applicants."
"Huo Wu and the others aren't just casually lecturing either," she continued. "They meticulously share their combat experiences and even hold public competitions every month to stimulate motivation."
"Students who perform exceptionally well can even be specially admitted by the three major academies and become core disciples directly."
Ye Leng Leng nodded in admiration. "Other academies caught on quickly. Now their gates are plastered with signs like 'Elite Special Training' and 'Genius Crash Course.'"
"I even heard that some seven-ring Spirit Saints signed up," Dugu Yan added excitedly. "I went to take a look myself. The busiest places in the city right now are the registration offices of various academies."
Li Rong raised an eyebrow.
So… this was basically a Douluo Continent Genius Boot Camp?
Pulling up the virtual interface, he looked down at the bustling scenes outside. Academy gates were packed shoulder to shoulder, Spirit Masters lining up in long queues that stretched down entire streets. Compared to this, the postgraduate cram schools from his previous life looked downright modest.
"As expected," Li muttered, "as long as people are creative enough, there's no such thing as unprofitable sacrificial coins."
The one who came up with this idea truly deserved applause.
"Let them stockpile sacrificial coins for now," Li Rong said casually.
Dugu Yan immediately narrowed her eyes. "You're planning something again, aren't you?"
"In about three months," Li said calmly, "I'll have enough faith value to open access to a new World."
"A new World?!"
The room instantly lit up. Every pair of eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"What kind of World?" someone asked eagerly.
"I don't know yet," Li shrugged. "I'll only get basic information once the threshold is reached."
"Will you directly appoint people from the top twenty," Dugu Yan asked, "or openly recruit again?"
"Open recruitment, of course," Li replied without hesitation. "Same style as previous temporary bounties. If someone doesn't want to go, forcing them would be meaningless."
Snow Princess leaned forward. "What about Spirit Beasts? Can they go?"
"That depends on the environment of the new World," Li said seriously. "If there aren't even Spirit Beast–like lifeforms there, dragging a group over would be pointless."
Snow Princess froze slightly. A World without Spirit Beast–like creatures…?
"If conditions allow," Li continued, "I'll bring sentient, obedient Spirit Beasts."
He looked straight at Snow Princess. "Tell Ditian for me—I don't want rebellious ones, and I especially don't want idiots that are dumber than donkeys."
Snow Princess nodded solemnly. "He'll understand."
"Leng Leng," Li added, "release the recruitment notice. Make it clear—this mission is extremely dangerous. Limited slots. No safety guarantees. Life and death are their own responsibility."
Click.
Before anyone could react, Ning Rongrong had already slammed the registration button.
"Ning Rongrong!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
"I missed the last one," Ning Rongrong said firmly, lifting her chin. "I'm not missing this one."
She turned toward her father, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong. "Don't stop me."
"This is my decision. I won't accept that humiliation a second time."
Ning Fengzhi was silent for a long moment. Then he handed over the Fortune Bead and Hurricane Ring in his hand.
"Come back alive."
At Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue sat leisurely on the Supreme Pontiff's throne.
"There's nothing to discuss," she said flatly. "Gao Feng, Xie Yue, and I are all going."
Golden Crocodile glanced anxiously at Qian Daoliu, hoping he'd intervene.
Qian Daoliu instead took out the remaining four Life Extension Pills and passed them to Gao Feng.
"Bring these," he said calmly. "They may prove useful when building connections."
At Clear Sky Sect, Tang San frowned deeply.
A journey to another World…
He felt instinctive resistance. Xiao Wu didn't belong among the so-called geniuses, and he didn't want to leave her behind.
"I don't think Little San, Long'er, or Hu'er should go," the Great Elder Tang Wei declared firmly.
"The risk is too high. Clear Sky Sect doesn't lack sacrificial coins—we don't need to gamble with our future."
Tang Lie frowned. Something felt wrong, but he couldn't articulate it. He looked to Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao sighed softly after seeing Tang San's conflicted expression.
"…Then we won't force it."
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"We must go," Jade Heavenheart said immediately.
Yu Heng nodded. "Our advantage isn't just resources—it's that we never miss opportunities."
Yu Yuanzhen slammed his palm down. "Then it's settled. You brothers go together."
At Star Luo Empire.
Dai Tianfeng stared at the shattered wooden lotus in his hand and sighed.
"Elixirs really do leave scars."
Turning around, he asked calmly, "Cheng'er. What do you think?"
Dai Cheng bowed deeply. "In an era of great contention, those who advance live. Those who retreat perish."
Dai Tianfeng smiled. "Good. All five of you will go."
"Better to die in battle," he added coldly, "than disgrace Star Luo."
Back at the Sacrificial Shop.
"So many people signed up…" Ye Leng Leng murmured, stunned.
"What did Ditian say?" Bi Ji asked.
"He'll personally select 100,000-year Spirit Beasts," Snow Princess replied.
"…That sounds terrifying."
"Fair," Li Rong said lightly. "Potential needs power to balance it."
Then Ye Leng Leng raised another question. "What about the shop?"
Dugu Yan instantly wrapped her arms around Li Rong's neck. "I want to go too!"
"We'll upgrade the Training Ground," Li said decisively. "Fully automated service."
"What?!" Ye Leng Leng gasped.
"Do you know how busy I was at the beginning?!" Dugu Yan shook him furiously.
Li raised both hands. "I surrender!"
Inside, he silently opened the exchange interface and clicked seven times.
If you can still walk tomorrow, I'll compensate you.
