After a civilization reached level four, how many academic disciplines would emerge? This was a question no one could answer; anyway, Fang Jueyu only knew that if you wanted to learn something, a team of teachers would guide you from introductory to advanced courses in that subject.
As for materials and such, there was no need to worry at all. The school could completely simulate them for you; you just couldn't take anything created by the school outside.
However, there was one thing: the Cosmic Source Energy in this school was much more abundant than on Earth, and it grew many exotic flowers and herbs beneficial for Fang Jueyu's cultivation of the Potential Guiding Technique. If students came here to study, their speed of cultivation would definitely far exceed that of the outside world.
Fang Jueyu wanted to learn everything here, but he feared that even if he spent his entire life, he wouldn't be able to finish learning such a vast amount of knowledge.
The next big problem was, how exactly should he start admitting students? Although he had a numerous fan base, he couldn't possibly recruit directly on Weibo, could he?
If he did that, there would be only two outcomes: one, he'd be scolded as a lunatic by netizens; two, the existence of the academy would be exposed, and he'd be treated as an oddball.
Regardless of the outcome, Fang Jueyu didn't wish to face it. Even though he wasn't afraid to be an enemy to the world, he hadn't played enough yet, and his task of unlocking secondary permissions still needed completion.
"Oh well, take it one step at a time. After all, there are still three years, so there's no rush!" It's always hardest at the beginning, and Fang Jueyu knew that the most difficult thing was recruiting the first student.
But similarly, he couldn't just admit anyone. At the very least, they needed to have good character since he was to cultivate his own followers. If someone studied the technology knowledge ahead of the time at the Super God Academy and went outside to cause havoc, wouldn't that cause a huge commotion?
Since the new member, Er Gouzi, appeared in Fang Jueyu's home, he had an additional new task before going for an internship every day—walking the dog!
Although possessing noble Soul-devouring Beast blood, Er Gouzi exhibited behaviors almost identical to an ordinary dog, except that it understood human speech.
Er Gouzi grew rapidly; in just one week, it matured to about the size of a typical small dog. Its appetite increased by the day, and Fang Jueyu fed it premium dog food daily. If someone knowledgeable knew that Fang Jueyu was raising a Soul-devouring Beast as a dog, they might go insane, right?
But in Fang Jueyu's heart, whatever it was, as long as it didn't destroy the house or cause trouble, all was good.
There was a large park in the Jiangnan Garden where Fang Jueyu lived. After all, he and his employees weren't the only ones living in the entire community; many people would exercise, walk, or walk their dogs in this park.
However, Er Gouzi was quite wild. Every time Fang Jueyu took him out for a walk, he would vanish without a trace, sometimes playing around with other dogs, occasionally harassing other people's little female dogs.
Could it already have that ability just a week from birth?
But after all, they were different species, and reproductive isolation should prevent the little female dogs from giving birth to some bizarre creatures, right?
"Yo, Little Fang, out for a walk again?" An elder greeted Fang Jueyu warmly.
"Yes, Grandpa Bai, you're as early as ever!" Fang Jueyu responded.
This Grandpa Bai was named Bai Ruhai and was also a resident of the Jiangnan Garden. Previously, Fang Jueyu didn't interact much with other property owners in the community, but recently with frequent dog walks here, he naturally met many people, including Bai Ruhai, who practiced boxing here almost every morning.
"Did your dog go wild again?" Bai Ruhai asked.
"Yes!" Fang Jueyu chuckled bitterly, "This Er Gouzi gets so cooped up at home that every time he comes out, it's like he goes crazy, and I can't control him."
But Er Gouzi had one good point: no matter how crazy or wild it got, it would always return to his side in at most half an hour.
"Grandpa Bai's boxing style seems to have some routines." Fang Jueyu watched Bai Ruhai box while sitting on the edge of the pavilion, seeing his powerful punches and very stable stance, completely unlike an ordinary eighty-year-old man.
"What's so strange about that? This old man's Biological Current is no weaker than yours; not to mention boxing, he could run up ten floors without even panting," Xiao Yi said.
"Biological Current? Could Grandpa Bai be one of our family's people?" In Fang Jueyu's concept, there were only distinctions between Hidden Elementers and superpower users, and Biological Current was aroused by the Potential Guiding Technique.
"That he is not," Xiao Yi said, "Your Huaxia is also a civilization with a long history, and it isn't strange for them to have explored some rudimentary methods to activate Biological Current. According to you Huaxians, this method is called the ancient martial arts system, and this old man should be considered a master of Force Transform."
"Is there really such a thing?" Fang Jueyu thought ancient martial arts were all made up; TV shows had debunked it many times, and those self-proclaimed ancient martial arts masters were knocked out in less than a round when facing professional martial arts fighters.
"Of course, in your Huaxia, ancient martial arts currently mainly divide into the Innate and Acquired. Acquired Martial Artists split into Bright Force, Dark Force, Force Transform, and Dan Force, similar in strength to ordinary superpower users. As for an Innate Martial Artist, their combat strength equals that of a junior Hidden Elementer."
"What's above Innate?"
"There's also the Heavenly Human Realm and Divinity Transformation Realm, equating to intermediate Hidden Elementers and top Hidden Elementers, respectively. But as far as I know, your Huaxia only has a few ancient figures at the Heavenly Human Realm. It seems no one has ever reached the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"It's strange; if such people exist, how come I've never heard of them?"
"Well, that's no surprise. These Ancient Martial Families possess power far beyond secular understanding, like superpower users; they cannot be shown openly. Moreover, the nation also manages them through specialized departments. Most of them live in seclusion, but their connections span the globe. After all, everyone needs to eat,"
"Many of Huaxia's major corporations are controlled by members of these families, so their influence over the secular world is still significant."
"I see." Fang Jueyu realized that he seemed to have a somewhat superficial understanding of this society.
"So, are you saying Grandpa Bai is also from an Ancient Martial Family?"
"Probably," Xiao Yi said, "But you needn't focus much; what they cultivate is too basic. Compared to my Potential Guiding Technique, it's nothing! Even if they practice to death, only a few could become Hidden Elementers."
"That's true." Fang Jueyu didn't take it to heart, purely treating it as gaining knowledge. After all, being the most distinguished person on Earth, he hadn't even understood his home's backyard fully. How could he speak of leaving Earth for the universe in the future?
"Strange, it's already been half an hour. Why hasn't Er Gouzi come back yet?" Fang Jueyu checked the time. Usually, within no more than half an hour, he would come trotting back for food.
Just as Fang Jueyu was feeling puzzled, a commotion came from not far away, with cries and chaotic barking.
"Huh? That's Er Gouzi's voice!" Fang Jueyu naturally knew his own dog's voice best, "Could it have bitten someone?"
"Grandpa Bai, it seems my dog got into trouble; I'll go check!" Fang Jueyu leaped down from the pavilion's seat, sprinting lightly towards the direction of the noise.
Bai Ruhai's eyes showed a slight surprise; as someone who had practiced ancient martial arts for decades, he immediately recognized Fang Jueyu's extraordinary movement.
"This young man is not simple. I didn't expect this community to have hidden talents, hahaha..."
