Chapter 1139 - Civilization Upgrade (1/2)

Jhonas was recently very complacent. It seemed as if living in the same dorm as w.a.n.g Zhong had “poisoned” him with diligence. As a result, the Flying Pig was particularly hardworking in his studies. After all, he was a member of the Illusion race and was a natural equipment-refinery talent. This hard work allowed him to squeeze into the top 10 rankings in the Equipment Refinery Hall.

His father was full of praises towards this, while his clan leader specially sent him a rare letter of encouragement. This made his father happy, and he doubled Jhonas’s allowance and learning resources. What was this called? In Jhonas’s words, there were only four words to describe this: Too good! Too awesome!

“To be honest.” Flying Pig started to show off in front of Lao w.a.n.g again. “Boss, it was such a pity that you destroyed that flying sword. No matter what, it was the first flying sword that the future Equipment Refinery Grandmaster Jhonas personally forged and had a lot of commemorative value. Boss, let me bet with you. In a hundred years… No! In at most fifty years, the flying sword that you broke back then could be sold for at least 10,000 Gold Star Stones!”

Lao w.a.n.g was very calm. He simply read Gateway to Pill Studies as he silently listened to Jhonas boast. He had to get used to this kind of life. Lao w.a.n.g simply treated Jhonas as a noise machine that tested his concentration.

“Tsk. Boss, look at you. You aren’t paying any attention to me even though I’m talking to you. Are you in a bad mood?” How could Jhonas be satisfied with a one-man show? So he took himself near w.a.n.g Zhong. “Speaking of which, could it be related to the superintendent looking for you yesterday? Boss, Boss, why did the superintendent call you yesterday? Tell me about it. Look at me. I’m very curious. I can a.s.sure you that I will not spread it!”

Lao w.a.n.g was too lazy to even look at him. He stared at his book and was definitely mult.i.tasking. He casually said, “She asked me to change cla.s.ses.”

“Change… change cla.s.ses?” Jhonas’s mind was filled with question marks. “What does that mean? Will you no longer be in the Pill Refinery Hall?”

“Yes.”

“d.a.m.n…” Jhonas’s expression was filled with sympathy. “No! What gives them the right? Boss, you did nothing wrong! You’ve only been in the Pill Refinery Hall for a few days, but they’ve already asked you to go back? Is the Heavenly Sh.e.l.l race displeased with you? Aren’t you good friends with the daughter of the Crown Prince…?”

“…” Lao w.a.n.g finally diverted his gaze away from Gateway to Pill Studies for a few seconds and looked at Jhonas helplessly.

“No, no!” Jhonas did not agree and was even more agitated than Lao w.a.n.g. He could not listen to the news of him being removed at all. The moment he heard this, he felt as if it had happened to him. “We have to think of something. How hard is it to join the Pill Refinery Hall? You cannot possibly walk away so casually! You can’t go back to the Combat Cultivation Hall either. That would mean that this year was wasted… Boss, relax! What is yours is mine. Let’s first clarify what exactly happened. Boss, just wait. I will…”

“I’m not returning to the Combat Cultivation Hall…” Lao w.a.n.g looked at the jumping fatty with sympathy. He understood this fellow too well. Thus, he did not talk about what had happened with the superintendent when he returned yesterday as he was scared of shocking him. However, looking at how Jhonas was fired up, he had no choice but to say it. “Do you know about the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s in the Heavenly Gates?”

“What in the world? Oh… the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s?”

In a flash, the atmosphere in the room seemed to have instantly frozen.

Flying Pig widened his mouth and was only able to squeeze a few words out of his throat after a long time. “Th—the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s?”

“That’s what the superintendent said. She let me join them.” Lao w.a.n.g nodded. “It seems rather decent.”

Jhonas instantly lost his temper.

The Celestial Honors Cla.s.s was not made known in the Heavenly Gates, but this was useless when generations had gone through the Heavenly Gates. And they would already have various knowledge about the Heavenly Gates at their fingertips by the time they entered. Any civilization with a reputation in the Land, even weaklings like the Illusion race, would have one or two experts who managed to join the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s. Thus, the succeeding generations of the various great civilization powers knew about the existence of the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s.

It was called the Genius Concentration Camp, but at other times, Monster Club! Furthermore, unlike the tradition in the Heavenly Gates where there would be a new batch of students every few years, there would only be one batch of students in the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s at the beginning of every era. The peak geniuses of each era would be chosen, and they were typically Gold Cores! For example, in this batch, Celeste, Tsarisiya, Lilisy, Kakadinme, and other pupils were considered rare top geniuses in their races. However, they did not have the qualifications to join the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s. For a Solid Core to join the Cla.s.s… it would be difficult!

As for a Void Core joining… No one had ever heard of this.

What kind of cla.s.s was this? This was simply a gathering of all the freaks in each era. As long as they survived and graduated from the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, three or four in 10 pupils would be able to ascend to the Heaven. The remaining six or seven pupils would either be overlords in the Land or supreme beings that swept over the Dimensional World. There would definitely not be any ordinary graduates.

w.a.n.g Zhong was no more than a Void Core, but he was able to join the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s?

Flying Pig’s gaze changed, and the rims of his eyes immediately turned red. He started crying! He really cried his eyes out…

“Boss!” He immediately hugged Lao w.a.n.g’s thigh. “Once you are my Boss, you will always be my Boss! Brother, we are connected by fate!”

Lao w.a.n.g did not know whether to laugh or to cry at him. Jhonas wasn’t in the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, so what fate was he talking about? “Your mucus!”

“Brother! From now on, you are my dear brother!” Jhonas wiped his mucus on the door. “I just knew it. I knew from the first day of school that you were naturally extraordinary, brilliant yet easygoing, graceful and elegant, and loved by all. My respect for Brother is like the surging Heavenly River and will continue forever…”

“It sounds like you understood a lot about me,” said Lao w.a.n.g with a smile. Although the superintendent had mentioned the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s yesterday, she did not explain much about it. He could take this opportunity to ask Jhonas. “Tell me, what do you know about the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s?”

However, Jhonas wailed for at least half an hour before calming down. There was no other choice as he was simply too excited. To Jhonas, the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s existed in legends. He had never thought that his own dormmate (and his Boss) would be able to become a member. Jhonas instantly felt as if he had been bathed in divine light.

“In any case, those who emerge from the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s are all famous great figures in the history of the Land and are all Gold Cores. There are no exceptions. Countless pract.i.tioners are unable to acc.u.mulate their Gold Core in their lifetime, but to those freaks in the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, this simply does not occur… Also, many pupils from there have ascended to the Heaven. A batch of Celestial Honors Cla.s.s pupils can span over an entire era, and I’ve heard that at most, the number of pupils would be a hundred. The entry requirements are just too strict. There is no need to talk about one’s natural endowments and strength. What is more important is one’s ident.i.ty and background…”

Jhonas’s eyes dazzled as he chattered endlessly. There was some reliable information, but there was also some vague information. A supreme genius had emerged in the history of the Illusion race and managed to enter the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s. All of his information regarding the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s had been pa.s.sed down from that period. All the pupils from the Illusion race strove to enter the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, without exception. However, it was obvious that in the entire history of their civilization, only that individual had entered the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, and no one else was able to replicate that success. “…Also, also, I heard that everyone who enters the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s is at least a Solid Core. I have never heard of any Void Cores entering…”

When he heard Flying Pig extravagantly praising the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, he did not believe everything. However, integrating what he said with what the superintendent had mentioned yesterday, he was able to trust most of the information.

He felt some pressure. Even though the superintendent had said that there was no elimination from the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, it would definitely not be easy. According to Jhonas, under normal circ.u.mstances, only top geniuses among the Solid Cores had the possibility of joining the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s. This was a realm higher than his, and the pupils were the geniuses among the geniuses. Their strength would definitely be much stronger than his current strength. However, even though this was the case, the death rate in the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s was still over 50%. He had various self-preservation methods, but which freaky genius in the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s did not have a few self-preservation techniques?

To him, the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s was both a blessing and a rigorous test.

“Boss, Boss!” Jhonas drew closer to him. “Also, according to the members of the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s, all cultivation resources are provided for free by the Heavenly Gates! Tsk. I didn’t have the chance to buy your ingredients for the level-6 pill yesterday. Do you…?”

“That is a completely different matter.” Lao w.a.n.g did not know whether to laugh or to cry. This fellow was too quick with his calculations. Lao w.a.n.g knew that the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s providing cultivation resources for free was definitely an exaggeration by Jhonas. There was a limit for everything. For example, Senior Lavel was definitely a member of the Celestial Honors Cla.s.s. If resources were indeed provided for free, it would not be worthwhile to be so cautious with the resources for a piece of level-4 equipment.

……

“Oh? The Earth civilization was advanced to level-4.5? This was an appointment from the Heavenly Gates?” The first person to see this was Dhomiguer.

After coming to the divine territory, the Mizobudapi people fit in much better than the Earthlings. Of course, they experienced some unfamiliarity at first, but the overall strength of their civilization was greater than Earth’s and was even close to some powerful level-5 civilizations. Back then, because they had not entered the divine territory early after the trouble with the Holy Saint Teacher, they were able to make preparations over a longer period of time. Thus, they would definitely adjust better than the hasty Earthlings.

Furthermore, the Mizobudapi King had a few best friends in the Star Alliance. As the Ceremonial G.o.d, who was the most capable subordinate of the King, Dhomiguer also obtained good opportunities in the Star Alliance. As of present, he had also acc.u.mulated his Void Core and had just received a promotion from them, which was a form of glory for him. His job was similar to that of a “civil servant”. Even though he was a bottom-dwelling employee, this job still had a lot of prestige. He was in charge of managing several peripheral worlds and civilizations, including the Earth and the Mizobudapi world.

Over the past two years, he had heard of the many miserable encounters faced by the Earthlings. The Patriarch Society on Earth had tried to receive some a.s.sistance from him as well. There were times when Dhomiguer reached out to help them, but he definitely needed resources to work with. However, it was a pity that the resources on Earth were extremely limited. To be honest, perhaps the Octopus people were not in a very good state, but they still had a sense of superiority over the Earthlings.

But they suddenly… became a level-4.5 civilization?
