Chapter 8: Instructor’s Communication, War Theological Seminary

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the preparatory seminary, Sullo returned to his dormitory alone.

It was an independent courtyard that was suspended in mid-air. The entire building was carved out of fine jade.

There were also all kinds of strange flowers and plants planted in the courtyard. They were very beautiful. 

On every pillar of the building hung divine lamps.

The oil in the lamps was extracted from the fat of divine beasts, spiritual herbs, and precious chalcedony.

After lighting it up, not only would you be able to see a beautifully colored flame, but it would also allow ordinary people to cultivate their powers at a rapid pace.

Even demigod-level cultivation could be accelerated by these divine lamps.

Of course, this was no longer of any use to the current Sullo.

At this moment, an alarm sounded outside the courtyard, reminding Sullo that someone was approaching.

He raised his hand and released the barrier that stopped people from coming in.

However, Sullo realized that his visitor was his teacher, Zhang Yan.

Sullo raised his eyebrows. He was somewhat surprised that this famous ice goddess would take the initiative to come to his courtyard.

If this news were to spread, countless people would be stunned and their imaginations would run wild.

He shook his head and didn’t continue to let his imagination run wild. He closed the courtyard’s defensive formation and let Zhang Yan in.

After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Su Luo took the initiative to bring the topic back on track.

“Teacher Zhang, may I know why you’re here?”

Zhang Yan asked with a chuckle, “Sullo, you have already graduated from the preparatory seminary. Since you haven’t made the initiative yet, have you thought about which seminary you plan to further your studies at?”

Sullo was stunned. He had never thought of this question before, so he could not help but ask, “I don’t know much about Vogah’s divine domain. Do you have any recommendations on where I should continue next, Teacher?”

Zhang Yan responded, “There are a total of five seminaries in Vogah’s divine domain.”

She waved her hand and released a divine shadow spell, five mini-buildings appearing in front of Su Luo.

As Zhang Yan’s finger moved, one of the buildings with an elegant architecture style was enlarged.

Above the buildings, there were the shadows of goddesses that looked beautiful, graceful, and valiant.

“The Roca Seminary focuses on support-class divine spells. This seminary is mostly female students and is very popular in Vogah. However, their weakness is their general lack of combat strength or training.”

Sullo shook his head slightly. He had no intention of joining this seminary.

When Zhang Yan saw this, she moved her finger again and enlarged a group of angular-looking buildings.

“The Taya Seminary is the closest in terms of learning to our preparatory seminary. They have high attainments in defensive divine arts. The head of the combat department graduated from there.”

Looking at the top of the group of buildings, there were many rough and burly men waving their fists. The size of their arms made it seem like they could outrun even horses. 

Su Luo could not help but shudder. He shook his head repeatedly, his face filled with the intention to refuse.

Zhang Yan covered her mouth as she laughed softly. Her finger moved once again, and a green-colored building was enlarged.

“The Heavenly Wood Divine Academy specializes in raising livestock, forging equipment, refining potions, and other logistics-related divine arts. The students that graduate from here provide 90% of the Vogah’s divine domain’s resources for consumption. They can be considered the richest existences amongst all the gods.”

Su Luo had some understanding of this academy.

In other words, there was no one in the entire Vogah divine domain who wasn’t familiar with the Heavenly Wood Divine Academy.

The gods that walked out of this place were either skilled in nurturing high-level believers, planting spiritual herbs and magical plants, or forging for equipment.

Not only were they the richest existences in Vogah’s divine domain, but they also possessed powerful strength to protect their wealth.

They might not have strong combat power, but their high-level believers were definitely enough to give one a splitting headache when facing against them.

Other than that, they also dabbled in all kinds of potions, fine and diverse equipment, and an endless logistics supply.

This time, Sullo was in no hurry to express his stance.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan moved her finger to the next building, one that was shaped as a single tall tower. 

Above the building complex, there were figures wearing hoods with cold auras, holding crystal balls, tarot cards, and other props.

“This is the Warlock Academy, the gathering place of a group of occult gods. Their whereabouts are mysterious and unknown, and they are good at training assassins, or divination and alchemy gods. The gods who graduate from this academy rarely show their faces in the outside world but every time they appear, there will be a bloody storm in their wake.”

Zhang Yan paused and said carefully, “In the spirit world, they are the most hated and feared.

“Each of these academies has its own advantages, but I have hopes that you will join the War Theological Seminary. This academy specializes in all kinds of war divine arts, and their combat strength is the strongest among the five great academies.

“For a genius student like you, joining the War Theological Seminary is the best choice. This is because only war can allow you to obtain enough resources to grow.”

The four mini-buildings from before all disappeared, and a dark, red-colored building complex was enlarged.

Above the building complex, many figures appeared. Some were wearing armor, some robes, and some looked like scholars.

Perhaps there was a reason behind this, but through Zhang Yan’s shadow technique, the figures on the screen were no longer stationary.

The figure dressed like a general raised his sword high, and a red light enveloped the believers behind him.

In an instant, the combat strength of those believers surged, at least three times from their original strength.

The figure dressed like a scholar waved his folding fan and immediately, meteorites fell everywhere. The ground surged with flames, a spectacular sight to behold.

The figure in the magic robe was not to be underestimated. With a wave of his staff, countless believers appeared out of thin air.

Some of these believers landed on the battlefield and charged forward to tear apart the enemy formation.

Some landed at the back of the enemy formation, harassing, ambushing, and sprinting toward them in a surprise attack, causing chaos to the enemy formation.

What was even more ridiculous was that an elite squad had also appeared in the middle of the enemy’s formation.

They actually used the decapitation tactic to kill the enemy and destroy their whole chain of command. 

It could be seen that each of these war divine arts was extremely powerful in their own right.

Su Luo leaned back in his chair and tapped on the armrest.

He did not say a word and was expressionless. It was impossible for one to tell what he was thinking.

When Zhang Yan saw this, she became anxious and quickly said, “Of course, I have my own selfish reasons for wanting you to join the War Theological Seminary. Back then, my own teacher was on the verge of advancing their career there but fell short in the end. As long as you can join the War Theological Seminary and become her student, you can help her advance her own position.”

Sullo nodded slightly. He somewhat understood what this ice-cold, beautiful teacher was trying to tell him.

However, he was still a bit hesitant because he was similarly interested in the occult Warlock Academy, as well as the logistics side of the Heavenly Wood Divine Academy.

Seeing this conflict, Zhang Yan threw out another bombshell.

“Sullo, as long as you are willing to join the War Theological Seminary, you will be able to learn the divine war technique to create a Spatial Gate for free. In addition, I will personally give you a low-grade divine artifact. Although its quality isn’t high, it can still withstand three god-level attacks. This will be my way of repaying my teacher’s kindness.”

A low-grade divine artifact… Sullo had no use for such a thing. 

Given his current wealth, he completely didn’t care about divine artifacts of such a level.

In addition, although he was only a demigod…

His true combat power had already surpassed that of most gods.

A low-grade divine artifact that could withstand three attacks from a god… What use was that?

Instead, it was able to learn how to create a Spatial Gate for free. That was the only thing that made Sullo’s eyes light up when he heard it.

The Spatial Gate was the ability to mobilize an army of believers out of thin air through a divine shadow technique.

A divine technique of this level was a trump card in every academy.

Ordinary students might not have the chance to learn it even after graduation.

But now, as long as he joined the War Theological Seminary, he would be able to learn it immediately.

He didn’t even need to put in or use any academy contribution points. That was the only thing clouding his judgment on choosing the other schools. 

Thinking of this, Sullo no longer hesitated and nodded.

“Okay, it’s a deal!”
