CHAPTER 1012: CHAPTER 811: THE HERO CLUB WANTS TO ESTABLISH AN ACADEMY TOO (GRAND CHAPTER)

A typical Second Tier Transcendent, Vito didn’t take them too seriously.

It’s not that he’s overconfident; in his Spirit Space, he had faced many First and Second Tier Transcendents, and had even defeated powerful Second Tier Alien Race warriors.

It’s just that he couldn’t kill them.

Among the First Tier, only the Devil Race template posed a challenge for him.

Vito and a dozen other exchange students were the first to return from the Hero Club exchange program.

They didn’t leave on their own accord.

The top officials at the Hero Club main headquarters had been waiting for their return.

Vito hadn’t forgotten their original purpose for the exchange learning — to bring back secret manuals and teaching methods to Green Shadow City.

"Did the instructors at World Tree Academy not require us to keep this confidential? Did they foresee it, knowing they couldn’t stop us?"

"No, I heard Green Shadow City has a kind of contract technology, so they could have used contract means to restrict us, but they didn’t..."

"In the end, it’s because Green Shadow City has a broader vision, already looking at the entire humanity."

On the other hand, within the Hero Club, there were internal power struggles.

Especially with Thunder God in seclusion, Witch far away in Green Shadow City, and Black Dragon Batak not taking charge, several Cabinet Elders were straining their necks over resource mines.

Even the allocation of exchange student slots led to much bickering, resulting in a grudging compromise from all sides.

Vito had no ground to criticize these things, as he was, after all, a beneficiary.

But having seen the vast world of Green Shadow City, he couldn’t help but find it a bit laughable upon returning to the Hero Club.

"This is everything I’ve learned at World Tree Academy."

Vito looked at the few Second Tier senior officials in front of him, including his family elder, Rex.

He spoke calmly.

Beside him was a pile of special paper.

There were Combat Skills, Magic, special secret techniques, and some advanced training techniques, Source Power application techniques.

All the secrets he could write in rune language, he wrote down.

Those he couldn’t express in rune language, he constructed with spiritual power into special medium gems.

Though somewhat distorted.

"No more?"

"No more."

"Why only gun series secret manuals?"

"Time was short, I didn’t have the time to learn others."

Vito presented less knowledge than other exchange students, but in fact, the knowledge he offered was more advanced.

Many advanced Combat Skills were difficult for exchange students to master.

Simply verbalizing them left out the true essence, making it hard for others to learn.

The Combat Skills Vito offered were the most detailed, including some of his own annotations.

But ultimately, their quantity seemed the least.

Some seniors suspected Vito of withholding a few tricks.

"You... when you enter the Transcendent Class, remember to learn more advanced techniques."

The displeased senior eventually said nothing more.

After all, Vito was the only one to enter the Transcendent Class, not someone with a ’normal background’ who could be easily squeezed like an ordinary exchange student.

With a Second Tier elder protecting him, even if Vito deliberately hid some secret manuals, he could only swallow this grievance.

Especially since his family lacked a genius!

The senior thought of Joe, the only one in the Hero Club who could match Vito’s Heavenly Pride.

Vito had obviously grown much stronger in his year at World Tree Academy; Joe was no longer his opponent.

But as long as Joe learned the advanced knowledge brought back by the exchange students, he might still catch up.

By comparison,

Vito, after a year in Green Shadow, clearly had other thoughts.

This meant that their idea of keeping Joe was correct.

However, with only Vito entering the Transcendent Class, they felt a bit uneasy.

"Since you have studied at World Tree Academy for a year, learned their teaching mode, and brought back much knowledge, then... we completely have the capability to replicate a similar academy to specifically cultivate geniuses."

"Yes." Another senior chimed in, "Forget about cultivating ordinary students, it’s a waste of resources. To catch up with Green Shadow City, we must focus resources on a few geniuses and strong individuals."

"I agree, let’s call this academy the Hero Academy."

The seniors looked at Vito and the other exchange students and said,

"Hero Academy needs your contributions. I hope you can take advantage of this vacation period to assist in cultivating a batch of instructors, especially since some advanced techniques are easier to grasp with your direct teaching."

The seniors themselves were also eyeing certain techniques longingly.

Such as techniques to detonate the Source Power amplification for Combat Power, and techniques to solidify and enhance oneself with Magic...

If mastered, one’s combat power could increase by twenty to thirty percent, immediately becoming a strong player with a Second Tier Divine Weapon in the same tier.

Catching up with the Witch and Black Dragon was not impossible.

In the future, it might even reach Thunder God’s heights, controlling the entire Hero Club.

With a long lifespan, there was ample time to realize their ambitions.

World Tree Academy’s summer vacation follows the pre-apocalypse timeline, lasting nearly two months.

But the Genius Class students couldn’t possibly, and didn’t dare to waste two months, risking dropping in rank, potentially degrading from the Genius Class to the Elite Class.

During vacations, many students, apart from occasionally visiting family and friends, spent most of their time training at the academy.

The dorms remained open.

Most exchange students planned to make up for lost time during the summer break — they didn’t want to experience the painful demotion they faced in the first month again.

But when a senior spoke, they hesitated but eventually agreed.

They could only squeeze in time for cultivation.

It’s just... the Cultivation Rooms here were ultimately lacking, losing a lot.

Vito didn’t agree right away; he thought for a moment, "One week, within a week, I will do my utmost to guide, but I need to return to the academy for cultivation, and I will not stay in Hero City for too long; I don’t know if staying too long will result in me being eliminated from the Transcendent Class."

He rarely explained this.

After all, the seniors in front of him were powerful and dignified.

The senior who disliked Vito wanted to get angry but eventually calmed down.

Given that he was the only Transcendent Class student.

Heh, when all your knowledge is extracted, you’ll be worthless.

Kid!

...

The Hero Academy was located in the eastern part of Hero City, transformed from a pre-apocalypse university.

Before today,

Hero City had academies that taught combat skills and cultivated future strong individuals.

But they weren’t prioritized.

The Transcendents were just getting started, with long lifespans; it seemed more beneficial to focus on self-improvement than on cultivating the next generation.

This thinking wasn’t wrong.

However, seeing strong individuals emerging from World Tree Academy, they became anxious.

The academy started expanding and renovating recently.

A massive amount of Source Crystals and materials were invested into creating Advanced Cultivation Rooms.

Meanwhile, a batch of experienced Transcendent Tier individuals was gathered to learn the knowledge brought back by Vito and other exchange students.

Vito spent several consecutive days in this academy undergoing renovation, imparting his techniques and insights.

He also helped construct this new Cultivation Academy based on his understanding.

Hero Academy’s credit system completely emulated that of World Tree Academy.

It also divided into Genius Classes and extended the ’Extreme Martial Arts Hall - Hero City Branch’ Spirit Space, opening up Hero Academy’s own area—hmm, equivalent to leasing servers from Green Shadow City.

Libraries, training grounds, Advanced Cultivation Rooms, and other areas were also established.

And a large amount of cultivation resources were allocated.

A reasonable competition system was established.

In Vito’s view, aside from slightly inferior Cultivation Rooms, resources, and teaching quality, Hero Academy was very close to World Tree Academy.

If Hero Academy could develop into a top-quality Cultivation Academy, Vito would be pleased to see it.

It’s just,

At the thought of seniors still eyeing his little plot of land, he felt worried about the future.

"Mr. Vito, Mr. Joe is looking for you." An academy instructor said, "He said he is waiting for you at the training ground."

"Who? Joe?"

Images of Joe’s tall figure came to Vito’s mind.

He went to the training ground that had been opened by the academy, where Joe stood alone, facing away from him.

Upon hearing the sound, Joe turned around.

He held a Great Sword, with golden hair flying in the wind.

A fierce aura slowly rose from his body.

Joe raised the Great Sword, pointing the blade at Vito:

"This year, I delved into dangerous places and fought with Mutant Beasts."

"This year, I stepped into the Senior Transcendent Realm."

"How much have you progressed this year? Come, let me see whether the reputation of World Tree Academy is well-deserved!"
