Chapter 98 â True Transcendental Power
âThe Godâs Domain Alliance is going all-out to nurture geniuses?â Shi Feng was very surprised to hear this news.
The War of Worlds was no secret to him. Although there also existed an organization similar to the Godâs Domain Alliance during his previous life, this organization had only started nurturing talents of the new generation after the World Gate had fully opened.
Meanwhile, once the World Gate was fully opened, there wouldnât be just one World Passage connecting the two Godâs Domains. Instead, countless passages would randomly form, allowing the two Godâs Domains to compete and devour each other. However, as Tier 6 God-ranked experts were needed to safeguard key locations, the main fighting force of the two Godâs Domains in the War of Worlds would consist of Tier 4 and Tier 5 experts.
Originally, Shi Feng thought it would be much later before the Godâs Domain Alliance realized the need to nurture the new generationâs talents. He didnât think the organization would notice it already.
âThis is indeed outside of everyoneâs expectations,â Qi Lianshan said, expressing his understanding when he saw the look of surprise on Shi Fengâs face. âBut I can confidently tell you that this information is true.â
Originally, the Godâs Domain Alliance was merely a loose organization focused on hosting events in the real world. While it might be considered the biggest force in Godâs Domain, it had hardly any territory in the game. So, nobody couldâve expected that the Godâs Domain Alliance would suddenly decide to nurture geniuses unaffiliated to it and spare no cost while doing so.
âBut what does this have to do with Ziyou becoming my apprentice?â Shi Feng asked as he looked at Qi Lianshan in confusion.
âAccording to my sources, the selection this time requires students to be at the Half-step Refinement Realm standard at the very least. In addition, their instructors must be at the Flowing Water Realm or above. If a student canât meet these two conditions, they wonât even qualify to participate in the selection,â Qi Lianshan said, sighing. âWe wouldnât have had to take such measures if I were still in my prime, but Iâm afraid you are the only person who is in such a realm in our Academy right now, Instructor Shi.â
âIt seems the Godâs Domain Alliance has put a lot of considerations into this,â Shi Feng said, realization dawning upon him.
The Godâs Domain Alliance indeed had access to an unimaginable amount of resources. However, players couldnât become powerful experts simply by having a lot of resources. They also needed capable teachers to offer them pointers. If a player had a Flowing Water Ream expert by their side constantly offering them guidance, they could improve their combat standards much more quickly.
Moreover, Flowing Water Realm experts were Tier 4 players on average, with some even being Tier 5 players. So, they could help their students level up very quickly as well.
In other words, while the Godâs Domain Alliance might be willing to offer students with resources, students would need to have their instructors resolve the problem of leveling up and improving their combat standards.
âI know you are very busy teaching Wu Lingling and the others, and you probably donât have a lot of free time to participate in the selection, Instructor Shi.â Gritting his teeth, Qi Lianshan said, âBut so long as you agree to participate in the selection this time, I will give you a bottle of S-rank Nutrient Fluid afterward.â
S-rank Nutrient Fluids were incredibly precious to expert players. Even though Qi Lianshan was a senior instructor at Jin Hai Universityâs Godâs Domain Academy, it had taken him great pains to exchange even one bottle.
Originally, he had planned to use this bottle to recover his mental state. However, compared to Chen Ziyouâs future, the recovery of his mental state could wait.
âA bottle of S-rank Nutrient Fluid?â After pondering for some time, Shi Feng said, âOkay, I can agree to your offer, but Iâm not taking responsibility for Ziyouâs subsequent leveling up.â
Shi Feng was currently an intermediate instructor already. Although he had the qualifications to exchange for S-rank Nutrient Fluids, it would take him a long time to accumulate one million Academy Points.
Most importantly, there was an exchange limit put on S-rank Nutrient Fluids. If he recalled correctly, intermediate instructors were only allowed to exchange one bottle a year. However, one bottle was nowhere near enough for him. After all, he was no longer young. He would need a lot of energy to recover his lifeforce, repair his bodyâs damaged cells, and improve his physical fitness.
âYou donât have to worry about this point, Instructor Shi. All you need to do is pass the selectionâs test,â Qi Lianshan said, feeling a little excited when he heard Shi Fengâs answer. Then, he quickly tapped on his quantum watch and transferred Chen Ziyouâs instructor position to Shi Feng.
Meanwhile, Shi Feng promptly clicked âAgreeâ when he received the transfer prompt on his watch. With this, he became Chen Ziyouâs instructor on paper.
After settling this matter, Qi Lianshan quickly led Shi Feng to his luxury sedan and drove him and Chen Ziyou to Jin Hai University to meet up with the other students and instructors.

Liufeng City, Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarterS:
As a first-tier city, Liufeng Cityâs population exceeded ten million. Meanwhile, the Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarters sat in the heart of the city, the headquartersâ two towers having over two hundred floors and occupying an area of two sports stadiums. The twin towers were more than capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people to work and train inside.
âHow spectacular! So, this is one of the Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarters?â
âAs expected of a transcendental power in Godâs Domain. Just one of its branch headquarters already looks so amazing! It would be great if I could become an internal member of the Secret Pavilion.â
âQuick, look! The Secret Pavilionâs recruits are training over there!â
âItâs true! The instructor teaching them seems to be Rainbow Chaser, one of the Secret Pavilionâs newly promoted Tier 5 experts!â
When Jin Hai Universityâs students looked out the windows of their bus and saw the Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarters, they couldnât help but marvel at the sight before them.
The state of the Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarters was on an entirely different level even when compared to the main headquarters of first-rate Guilds. Just the instructor responsible for guiding the recruits at the branch headquarters was already a Tier 5 expert. This was a luxury no first-rate Guild could afford for a branch headquarters.
Moreover, the one thousand recruits training on the field between the two towers were incredibly talented. Even though these recruits looked like they were only 14 or 15 years old, even the weakest among them was already at the Trial Towerâs fifth-floor middle-stage standard. If put in Jin Hai University, theyâd be regarded as geniuses among geniuses.
Yet, in the Secret Pavilion, these geniuses were nothing more than ordinary recruits, a fact proven by the emblems they wore on their shirts.
Before becoming official internal members, the Secret Pavilionâs recruits would only receive a one-star light-blue emblem. Only after becoming an official internal member would they receive a two-star dark-blue emblem.
While Jin Hai Universityâs students were in shock over the sight they just saw, a long line of buses started arriving at the Secret Pavilionâs branch headquarters one after another, their numbers exceeding 80. This meant that at least 80 Godâs Domain Academies had come to participate in the Secret Pavilionâs tour this time. This number far exceeded their initial expectations. Moreover, out of these buses, there were even some that transported students from Advanced Godâs Domain Academies.
âWhatâs going on? Why are students from Advanced Academies here as well?â Gu Tong couldnât help but be shocked when he looked at the students alighting from the various Advanced Godâs Domain Academiesâ buses.
Advanced Godâs Domain Academies!
To most students seeking to make a living from Godâs Domain, Advanced Godâs Domain Academies were schools they dreamed of entering.
Unlike the average Godâs Domain Academy, Advanced Godâs Domain Academies were true high-level education centers with several major corporations backing them. Some even had the support of international organizations. Meanwhile, with such ample funding, the instructors these Advanced Academies could recruit were also much superior in quality, with even the weakest instructor in these Academies being a Refinement Realm expert. Participants of Godâs Domainâs A-League would also hold lectures in these Academies from time to time.
However, as with the quality of their instructors, these Advanced Academies also had a high entry requirement. If students wished to even participate in the enrollment test of these Advanced Academies, theyâd need to be at the fifth-floor middle-stage standard, which was the official standard of ordinary experts, at the very least.
âWhat is the Secret Pavilion even thinking? I canât believe they invited a bunch of nobodies to the tour.â
âThatâs right! The Secret Pavilion even wants us to spar with them! How are we supposed to improve by sparring with these country bumpkins? I think we might even regress if we fought them!â
When a group of freshmen alighted from an Advanced Academyâs bus and saw the freshmen of the other Academies around them, a look of disdain appeared on their faces.
Meanwhile, the students from the other Academies naturally grew angry when they heard the words of this group of students. However, none of them dared to say anything since the other party consisted of experts at the Trial Towerâs fifth-floor late-stage or above. These students were not people they could compete against.
Most importantly, the instructors following these students were not existences they could afford to offend since every one of them was a Flowing Water Realm expert. These experts were either Elders of first-rate Guilds or vice commanders of adventurer teamsâŠ
Meanwhile, after Jin Hai Universityâs bus found a parking spot, Lin Yaoyue, the leader of the group, said, âLetâs get off the bus as well.â
