After the freshman compet.i.tion ended, the various Academiesâ instructors simultaneously received a message from G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociation.
The messageâs content was simple. The a.s.sociation was welcoming all students, who had reached the Half-step Refinement Realm standard, to head to the 175th floor of the Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarters with their instructors and apply to join the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociationâs training camp.
However, the message also stated that the instructors would have to pa.s.s the a.s.sociationâs instructor qualification certification, and the a.s.sociationâs certification had three ranks: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Meanwhile, instructors would have to achieve the lowest Bronze certification at the very minimum before their students could apply for the a.s.sociationâs training camp.
Depending on an instructorâs certification rank, their students would also have to partic.i.p.ate in different selection compet.i.tions and face different opponents. Simply put, the students of Bronze Instructors would compete with the students of other Bronze Instructors, the students of Silver Instructors would compete with the students of other Silver Instructors, etc.
However, the lower the certification rank, the lower the number of instructors that could acquire said rank, and the lower the number of students each instructor could have.
Conversely, the higher the certification rank, the greater the number of instructors that could acquire said rank, and the higher the number of students each instructor could have.
In addition, the number of students that could pa.s.s the selection compet.i.tions of higher ranks would also be greater than the compet.i.tions of lower ranks. In other words, the lower an instructorâs certification rank, the greater the compet.i.tion they and their students would face.
Fortunately, the training camp wasnât a one-time thing. Instead, each training camp would last a month, and the a.s.sociation would hold these certification compet.i.tions once a month. Thus, even if students failed to qualify for the training camp this time, so long as they managed to pa.s.s a selection before they graduated from their respective Academies, they could still qualify to attend the training camp.
Meanwhile, shortly after this announcement appeared, the underground training field instantly exploded into an uproar.
âHow generous of the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociation!â
âAmazing! After this move from the a.s.sociation, Refinement Realm experts will become even more common in G.o.dâs Domain in the future!â
âThis is madness! This wonât just popularize Refinement Realm experts! This will reshuffle the status quo of the various G.o.dâs Domain Academies! Even the various powers in G.o.dâs Domain are probably going to be affected!â
Everyone was shocked and excited by this explosive news. It was especially true for the students and instructors of ordinary Academies.
Nowadays, the various superpowers have monopolized most of the Legacies available in G.o.dâs Domain. If ordinary students wished to have a better future in G.o.dâs Domain, their only choice was to join the various superpowers. Otherwise, theyâd have to face much greater challenges to develop themselves.
Meanwhile, the various G.o.dâs Domain Academies were also in a similar situation. Due to the lack of good resources, the instructors of ordinary Academies faced great difficulty in producing excellent students.
However, the move the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociation just made would undoubtedly liberate the students without resources, or more specifically, the younger generation, from the various superpowersâ restrictions. So long as one was young and talented, one could acquire sufficient resources to develop themselves from the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociation. Young players would no longer have to rely on the various superpowers for resources.
After reading the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociationâs, everyone quickly understood that it wouldnât be long before G.o.dâs Domain would welcome a large batch of independent Refinement Realm experts. Meanwhile, the various superpowers would no longer be the only ones capable of reliably producing Refinement Realm experts.
At the same time, the status and value of instructors would also rise to unprecedented heights in G.o.dâs Domain.
It seems Iâll need to have Hidden Soul act quicker. s.h.i.+ Feng also started planning for the future after receiving the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociationâs message.
If many independent Refinement Realm experts suddenly appeared in G.o.dâs Domain, the power that would benefit the most from this situation would undoubtedly be the various mercenary organizations.
During s.h.i.+ Fengâs previous life, after his sub-world gained access to the Greater G.o.dâs Domain, the various powers had frantically nurtured players at all costs to cope with the impending danger. Ultimately, however, there were still many players who disliked being bound by Guilds. Yet, these players also wished to acquire precious resources and Credits, so mercenary organizations became their best option.
If Zero Wingâs mercenary organization could take form before the new batch of independent Refinement Realm experts arrived and capitalize on this situation, the organizationâs growth could easily match that of the various superpowers.
Meanwhile, shortly after the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociation made its announcement, the various Academiesâ Half-step Refinement Realm students promptly made their way to the application site with their respective instructors.
When s.h.i.+ Feng and Chen Ziyou arrived on the 175th floor, the hall that was the size of half a football field was already crowded with students and instructors.
âSo youâve come as well, Ziyou.â When Liu Yanya saw Chen Ziyou walking into the hall, she smiled and approached her, asking, âHave you thought about my previous suggestion?â
âThank you for your invitation, but I still donât plan on joining Ouroboros,â Chen Ziyou earnestly said as she looked at the brown-haired girl before her.
As one of Jin Hai Academyâs few Half-step Refinement Realm experts, Chen Ziyou had received invitations from many Guilds. Among them, one came from her high school cla.s.smate Liu Yanya, who had acted as Ouroborosâs representative.
âWonât you consider it again?â Liu Yanya frowned. However, she still chose to patiently persuade Chen Ziyou, saying, âNow that the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociation has made such a huge move, it is a rare opportunity for you to improve your circ.u.mstances. According to my sources, instructors will need to be at the Flowing Water Realm at the very least to gain a Bronze certification. However, your instructor Qi Lianshan is, at best, at the Half-step Flowing Water Realm with his current mental state. Thereâs no way he can help you get into the selection compet.i.tion.
âSo long as you agree to join Ouroboros, youâll get to become Instructor Soaring Snakeâs apprentice straight away. Now that Instructor Soaring Snake is close to reaching the Domain Realm already, heâll have no problems becoming a Silver Instructor. Youâll also be able to pa.s.s the selection without problems seeing as you are at the Refinement Realm already.â
However, even after hearing Liu Yanyaâs advice, Chen Ziyou still shook her head and pointed toward s.h.i.+ Feng, who was currently registering for the certification test, and said, âThank you, but I have Instructor s.h.i.+ with me. I should be able to get into a selection compet.i.tion without trouble.â
âInstructor s.h.i.+?â Liu Yanya followed Chen Ziyouâs finger and looked at s.h.i.+ Feng. Then, with confusion in her eyes, she asked, âIs he Wu Linglingâs instructor?â
âYou really love to waste time just like Wu Xiaoxiao, Ziyou.â After returning her gaze to Chen Ziyou, Liu Yanya contemptuously said, âHeâs nothing but a former Guild Leader of a second-rate Guild. He couldnât even reach Tier 4 during his peak. How can you hope for him to get you registered?â
âInstructor s.h.i.+ is very strong, and even Instructor Qi admires him greatly. Instructor Qi also said that Instructor s.h.i.+ might be at the Void Realm already,â Chen Ziyou said, a hint of reverence appearing in her eyes as she looked at s.h.i.+ Feng.
âVoid Realm?â Liu Yanya couldnât help but take an extra glance at s.h.i.+ Feng after hearing Chen Ziyouâs words. However, she suddenly laughed the next moment and said, âIn that case, I look forward to his performance. Hopefully, youâll qualify for a selection compet.i.tion at the very least.â
After saying so, Liu Yanya turned around and walked away, choosing not to involve herself with Chen Ziyouâs foolishness any longer.
Meanwhile, on the other side, s.h.i.+ Feng and many other instructors followed the instructions of the G.o.dâs Domain a.s.sociationâs staff and put on their respective customized virtual gaming helmets. Then, they began their instructor certification tests.
