Chapter 1357

Amid the shock, Xu Jingming understood that the hard currency of Star Dome Academy was points!

Without points, none of these sacred training grounds could be used.

"Luckily, first place in the Talent War gave me ten thousand points."

"Otherwise, I couldn't have accessed any of these places."

Xu Jingming thought silently to himself.

Of course, these sacred training grounds weren't especially important to him.

After all, with the system, as long as he had source points, he had no need for these training grounds at all.

Points were better spent buying combat techniques and secret scriptures from the Academy.

"Pay attention."

Mo Sang suddenly intensified his tone, "All Academy resources must be exchanged for points.

There are three ways to earn points: complete Academy missions, climb various ranking lists.

Or exchange them for crystals, at a rate of 1:100.

But this last method allows a maximum of one hundred thousand points to be exchanged every hundred years—no more is permitted."

When he finished speaking, the many talents present all looked slightly disappointed.

"There's a crystal limit? What a shame."

"Yeah, I heard the Eternal Star Alliance has the latest cosmic spacecraft—I was hoping to exchange points and buy one."

"One hundred thousand points… I wonder how long that'll last."

"......"

The murmurs around him made Xu Jingming silently sigh.

There were still too many rich people.

To this day, he only had ninety crystals in hand.

Yet other talents already had thousands of crystals.

Then again, someone like Yue Ying, a princess from the Elf Kingdom, probably could pull out ten thousand crystals effortlessly.

"The Academy employs a self-directed cultivation model."

Mo Sang's voice echoed through the hall, "All cultivation resources are fully open to you—so long as you have points, you may use them freely.

Additionally, each instructor at the Academy will post announcements for their classes three days in advance on the Academy's internal network.

You may freely choose any instructor whose lessons interest you.

These instructors are all elites of the Eternal Star Alliance—Dominion-level powerhouses."

His words fell silent.

The talents present immediately lit up with excitement.

The higher the rank, the deeper the understanding of the Dao!

With instructors at the lowest level being Dominion-tier, their many cultivation doubts could finally be resolved!

"Among these instructors, the highest-ranked may even include Supreme Dominions.

Of course, even for teachings by such beings, no one will compel you to attend.

Whether you miss this opportunity… rests entirely in your own hands."

Mo Sang smiled meaningfully.

"Are these just public lectures? Can we become actual disciples of these instructors?"

One of the talents asked.

Instantly, everyone present grew serious.

Indeed, attending public lectures and formally becoming a disciple were entirely different matters.

"Of course you can."

Mo Sang smiled down at the talents below:

"You may individually choose any instructor at Star Dome Academy to become your master.

However, each instructor's requirements for taking disciples vary.

For instance, students ranked in the top three of the Talent War can generally choose a Deathless Dominion as their master.

Students ranked in the top hundred may choose an Initial Catastrophe Dominion as their master.

As for others, it's a matter of luck.

If you're lucky, you might succeed in becoming a disciple; if unlucky, you'll fail.

Of course, you've just entered Star Dome Academy—there will be plenty of future opportunities to find a master; no need to rush."

Even the lowest instructors are Dominion-tier!

This was the sheer dominance of the Eternal Star Alliance as the pinnacle human faction!

"Only Deathless Dominions and Initial Catastrophe Dominions? Can we become disciples of a Supreme Dominion?"

Another student quickly asked.

"Supreme Dominion?"

Mo Sang looked at the questioner: "Supreme Dominions hold a transcendent status—they rarely take disciples, but you may still try.

But remember this: no matter the rank of the Dominion, guiding a group of Starlight-tier cultivators is more than sufficient.

In fact, among all of you, the probability that even one will become a Dominion after a hundred epochs is nearly zero.

So focus on the present—don't reach too far beyond your grasp. That is your best choice."

When he finished speaking, everyone present fell utterly silent.

Indeed, they were merely Starlight-tier.

The Sovereign tier is truly too far from them.

Having a Sovereign-tier teacher, regardless of rank, is already extraordinary.

"The Supreme Sovereign..."

Yueying's gray, beautiful eyes shimmered slightly.

The greatest beings of her elf race are the Supreme Sovereigns.

For everyone else, seeking the Supreme Sovereign as a teacher is extremely difficult.

Even the top-ranked Xu Jingming is no exception.

But she is different; with her elf race identity, seeking a teacher is not difficult at all.

"The first goal in seeking a teacher is surely the Supreme Sovereign; if that fails, then seek the Undying Sovereign."

Xu Jingming was silently pondering this in his heart.

Of course, he would need to learn the Star Dome Academy's teacher profiles before making further plans.

"Alright, that's the general overview of my Star Dome Academy. Now, distributing new student enrollment supplies."

Mo Sang waved his hand slightly, and hundreds of streaks of light descended from the sky, landing precisely before each new student.

They were silver wristbands; when Xu Jingming lightly touched one, a stream of information flooded into his mind:

【Student: Xu Jingming】

【Permission Level: Special Grade (Exclusive to Champion of the Talent War)】

【Initial Points: (Including Champion of the Talent War reward)】

"Special Grade permission?" Xu Jingming raised his swordlike eyebrows.

He didn't yet know what benefits this Special Grade permission granted within the Star Dome Academy.

"Remind you all: my Star Dome Academy is not a greenhouse.

Here, to obtain cultivation resources, you must complete missions and demonstrate your worth.

Each student has a fixed annual mission quota.

If you fail to meet it, you will be expelled from my Star Dome Academy."

Mo Sang looked at the crowd before him: "Correspondingly, our academy's casualty rate is also not low.

You currently number 827 who chose to enter my Star Dome Academy.

After ten thousand years, those still alive will likely be less than half.

If you cannot accept this elimination system and casualty rate, you may now choose to withdraw.

Cultivating within your local universe nation is also a fine choice.

Now, does anyone wish to withdraw? You may still speak up."

When his words ended, not a single person in the crowd spoke.

Joking.

The Star Dome Academy gathers the pinnacle resources of the entire universe's human race.

Naturally, these cannot be given away for free—there is always a price.

Even across the vast universe, countless beings are eager to pay this price yet cannot even find such resources!

As for the casualty rate, that goes without saying.

Flowers in a greenhouse cannot become great.

All of you are top prodigies from various universe nations; you believe you will not lose to anyone else.

"Good."

Seeing no one spoke, Mo Sang nodded in satisfaction. "Star Dome Academy welcomes your joining.

Next, using your identity wristbands, you may freely explore the entire Star Dome Academy."
