Chapter 314: Differences between the North and South Academies

While Tilan was thinking about how to hatch the little bird in the academy in the mountains in the north, there was a lively scene among several colleges in the South District 1. Facing the upcoming Winter Festival Competition, each academy was rubbing its feet and making full preparations.

Those with strength were thinking about playing to their strengths this year and striving to improve the ranking of the academy, while those with less strength were thinking about how to maintain their ranking and try not to let the ranking decline.

"In addition to the guidance of the special teachers of our school, Saint Ingo Academy also invited the master of the 'Golden Country' faction, Mrs. Guliflame." Someone on the Internet said that they saw a super-light-speed aircraft painted with a golden butterfly logo landing at Saint Ingo Academy.

"With the resources of the 'Star Explorer Alliance', Crystal Grid Academy began to load the training materials of friendly academies in other star regions." In the Federation, there are many academies and organizations that believe in the concept of 'Tracing Cloud'. They have formed a cooperative organization 'Star Explorer Alliance' between the star networks and will often exchange and learn.

"The Thunderbolt Academy has invited an officer who graduated from the academy but is now retired to assist in guiding students."

"The Lelisa Academy is still keeping the news secret from the outside world, so we don't know what's going on inside them."

"It's said that Xia Kui from the Swarm of Bees has been in seclusion for half a year after losing in the last competition. Now she has made great progress and easily defeated others in the ranking competition within the academy and became the first."

Compared with the news from various academies, the Edes Academy, which was previously famous for Heshia Tilan, is now much more low-key and cold, and the voices of online discussions are gradually drowned out by other information.

"This is also good." Tilan lay on the bed, answering the call from Anneli, talking about the recent situation.

She didn't like being watched all the time, and her every word and action was magnified and interpreted in various ways. Moreover, such an environment is more conducive to everyone in the academy to maintain a stable state of study and training without being disturbed.

"How are the people in the academy doing these days when I was away?" It has been several days since Tilan arrived at the Iridium Academy.

"Everyone is the same as before. In fact, everyone is used to Tilan's occasional mysterious disappearance, thinking that you need to learn the knowledge and skills related to singing girls." Anneli talked about the recent situation of the academy.

"This is indeed true." Tilan thought about it. A large part of the reason why she was here was to learn about singing girls from the ghost teacher.

"The training situation is the same as usual. In order to reassure everyone, I have already told everyone in advance about the rewards after achieving a ranking this time." Anneli added.

"Reward?" Tilan was slightly startled, and quickly remembered what she had promised before.

"Will it be useful?" She put down her legs and recalled the paper folding and singing she had said at that time. She was not sure for a moment.

There are indeed those fanatical star chasers, or fans, but Edes Academy is not an ordinary academy after all. If you want to occupy the top few places in the grade and get a good ranking, you can't be a stupid person. Most of them are excellent students who are already talented, and then combined with diligence and the right methods. Will such people really be moved and forget themselves for such a symbolic reward given to them?

As for Tilan herself, she is not the kind of person who is easily bewitched and obsessed with worshipping someone. Even when facing the immersive memories of the previous two generations of color-level singers, she still maintains her own thoughts and ideas, rather than blindly admiring them.

Forget it, no matter whether everyone really likes me or not, as long as I train and study hard now, I have achieved my goal. Blindly pursuing the truth behind it is just a madman.

Now she will not go into a dead end. After ending the call with Anneli, Tilan sat up, put on the slippers beside the bed, and went to a corner of the dormitory hall.

There is a warm yellow fluorescent lamp here, and then a silver-scaled blue snake is coiled in the feather nest under the lamp. There are five fist-sized eggs in the snake's arms. The eggshells are crystal white, a bit like jade under the light.

Touching the head and neck of the indigo snake, Tilan gently stroked the eggshell with her fingers, feeling the budding life inside.

"It will probably come out of the shell in two days." The girl thought to herself.

Wearing fluffy pajamas, Tilan leaned on the recliner in the hall. At her feet was an upright heater, which looked like a solid pillar, square and emitting orange light.

It was winter in the north, and it was a bit cold outside. Even the big spider was lying on top of the heater, and occasionally crawled into Tilan's arms, acting as a small desk, or helping Tilan get drinks and snacks from the refrigerator.

Turning the pages of the book with her fingertips, Tilan studied the cultivation materials left by the Fengyuan Courtyard, which described the various advanced directions of the Light Cotton Bird. There was a branch that focused on healing and treatment, and its advanced end point was Light Feather Sequence 7·Sacred Feather White Kite, a branch that focused on combat protection, and its end point was Light Feather Sequence 7·Forbidden Cang Kite, and a branch specifically for watching performances, and its end point was Primordial Sequence 7·Venus Moon Bird, and the Blade Sequence 6·File Gold Flying Kite, which was slightly more inclined to killing, and so on.

'The innate conditions of the Light Cotton Bird are suitable for the advanced Light Feather Sequence or the Original Sequence, while the advantages of other sequences are not obvious. If the Blood Eye Sequence and the Natural Sequence are chosen, it will be particularly difficult.' This is what the book records.

After turning over the description of the Light Cotton Bird's suitability and innate conditions, Tilan continued to read the relevant breeding history.

Most extraordinary creatures are derived from the world's native creatures, and the Light Cotton Bird is also derived from a special kind of kite bird. The earliest Light Cotton Bird breeding began in the Third Era. At that time, in order to cope with the dark vision of night battles, this bird was specially bred to take off at night, scattering light spots like cotton wool to illuminate the battlefield at night. In addition, as a medium-sized bird of prey, it can also resist the capture of some wild hawks and falcons. It has a fast flying speed and can survive on the battlefield.

As we entered the Fourth Era, the Age of Interstellar Navigation, the original role of the Light Cotton Bird no longer has an application scenario, but because it was cultivated and selected as a military bird in the early years, its obedience and affinity are relatively high, and later it gradually turned to domestication as a pet for viewing and performance.

This type of flying bird can cooperate with each other to weave a performance array in the sky, like Venus rotating and meteors flying, which is very beautiful. Therefore, it is partially used in opera performances and large-scale ceremonies.

However, the real boom of the Light Cotton Bird was at the end of the Fifth Era.

With the expansion of war, many planets were destroyed by toxicity and radiation. In order to survive in this environment, people urgently need some beings that can cast the spells of the Angel Sequence.

There are many protective skills in the Angel Sequence that can shield and isolate toxic and radioactive environments, and can also purify some toxins to a limited extent. This made the extraordinary people of the Angel Sequence very urgent in that era, but relying on human self-cultivation, the number is still too small. In addition, for some simple isolation spells, it is sometimes not worthwhile to consume scarce personnel to practice the Angel Sequence.

It is also for this reason that the Light Cotton Bird, which is already relatively friendly to the Angel Sequence, was discovered again, and a large number of them were cultivated as auxiliary partners to help them survive the difficult living environment.

During this period, many advanced routes for Light Cotton Birds were developed. Later, after integration and optimization in the Sixth Era, they gradually formed the current classic advanced routes, Light Feather Sequence 7·Sacred Feather White Kite and Light Feather Sequence 7·Forbidden Cang Kite.

During this period, the development of the Angel Sequence also underwent great changes, gradually distinguishing itself from the original way of practice. Because the most common Angel Sequence in life is a branch of the Light Cotton Bird family, in order to distinguish the Angel Sequence of the old era, it was later simply named the Light Feather Sequence.

Time entered the middle of the Sixth Era. The Federation of this era had been established. The harsh environment of the past was no longer there. The cultivation of Light Cotton Birds gradually became cold. After nearly a thousand years of stable development, the new Light Feather Sequence has picked up the advantages of the former Angel Sequence, such as the emphasis on will and mind, and the proficiency in combat and purification. It can be said that it combines the advantages of the Third Era Angel Sequence and the early Sixth Era (old) Light Feather Sequence, and has little to do with the once popular Light Cotton Bird.

Finally, hundreds of years ago, a branch faction emerged from the Wind Whale Courtyard. They landed on the Emerald Skirt and established their own courtyard. Then, among the cultivation of a group of extraordinary animals, they finally made a breakthrough and cultivated a life with Light Feather Sequence 8, the Tianyu Wind Kite, making this extraordinary species that had been silent for many years shine again.

After reading the history of the 'Light Cotton Bird', it was already evening. Outside, the sky was full of clouds. Tilan opened the window, held the big spider and went to the balcony to look at the scenery, and then returned to the house.

When she came to the nest where the indigo snake was hatching eggs, Tilan squatted down and carefully observed the five eggs that were hatching, thinking about the knowledge she learned from the book.

The advancement route of Tianyu Fengyuan is quite special. It was created by Fengyuan Courtyard combined with the advancement template of the former 'Swallowing Cloud Wind Whale'. It is very different from other mainstream advancement methods. The combat effectiveness in the early stage is not strong. It can be said that Sequence 1 to Sequence 6 are all laying the foundation, and then Sequence 7 is gradually improved, and Sequence 8 completes the final transformation.

Well, I don't expect these little guys to become the main combat force. It is important to let them reach the final stage.

Tianyu Fengyuan, with Light Feather Sequence 8, has the ability similar to the ancient Eastern Dragon Vein Beast. It can affect the weather and change the climate on a large scale. If it stays in an area for a long time, it can change the environment of the area.

After dinner, Tilan fed the big spider and the indigo snake, then turned off the other lights in the hall, leaving only the fluorescent lamp for the indigo snake to hatch, and then went back to the bedroom to rest and sleep.

In the next two days, Tilan went to class with other students, and occasionally took a walk in the Iridium Academy, where he could see all kinds of animals everywhere, and occasionally saw students competing with each other.

"Rubia, use the nitre charge!" Standing by the open space on the side of the road, a second-year student commanded his wolf-shaped partner beside him, and black and red flames ignited on his fur, and rushed forward fiercely.

"Haha, still this trick, do you want to resist the moon-eating tiger with saber-tooth power? That's impossible!"

Opposite him, a teenager wearing an indigo jacket laughed loudly. Behind him stood an extremely powerful tiger, whose height was the same as the teenager's shoulders. Its hair was green, and its back had dark green and almost black textures. This big tiger had a pair of sharp saber teeth, and it blew out bursts of hot air from its mouth, roared low, and made a sound similar to that of a motorcycle engine, and looked down on the wolf-shaped opponent who was charging.

"Deal with it! Xiaoyue."

With a command, the tiger with dark green fur rushed out, and its pair of saber teeth showed a faint light. Then, with a clap of its paw, it knocked the burning black wolf crooked, and then opened its mouth, and bit the wolf's neck with its saber teeth, causing it to whimper and beg for mercy. If the tiger's mouth was slightly harder, the saber teeth could pierce the entire neck.

"Okay, come back, Xiaoyue." After calling his partner to retreat to his side, the boy patted the tiger's shoulder, touched his jaw, and comforted it for a while before walking to his opponent.

"How about it, are you convinced this time?" He looked down at his opponent who was holding the black wolf in front of him.

The other party comforted the sobbing black wolf in his arms, then raised his head, looked at the boy in the indigo jacket, and bowed his head to show his approval.

"That's right, follow me." As he said this, he helped the opponent up, and the two walked away towards the path.

"Matthew won again." Someone next to him whispered.

"Among the new generation, I'm afraid only Ocas can fight him."

"It just so happens that Ocas also has a tiger-type partner, so it can be said that this is a 'two tigers fighting for supremacy'." "

Is it very powerful, Ocas?" The girl who didn't pay much attention asked curiously.

"Very powerful, the silver-bladed tiger next to Ocas is now a Sequence 4 of the Blade Slasher, and has almost never lost."

"It's also a Sequence 4, and it's only a second year." The girl next to her opened her eyes wide in surprise. At present, the main partners of second-year students in Iris Academy are mostly Sequence 2 or Sequence 3, and the number of advanced Sequence 4 can probably be counted on two hands.

"It's really fast, and Ocas often goes to other academies for exchanges and learning. He has a good reputation in the colleges and universities in the North District. Most people think that he will be the representative of Iris Academy in the next two years."

"I'm so envious~" Many people said similar things.

Tilan, who was listening at the side, looked at the big spider rubbing her ankle at her feet and compared her situation with everyone else.

It has to be said that there is still a big gap between the northern and southern academies. As the capital of the Emerald Skirt, the Southern District 1 gathers most of the resources. At present, there are about 200 students in the second year of Edes Academy who have advanced to Sequence 4, while there are probably no more than ten in Yuanting.

In fact, Yuanting Academy is not bad among the northern colleges, which means that in the second year of other academies, the number of students who have advanced to Sequence 4 is at most about ten.

This is also very impressive. If it is a regional superior academy, such as the Irene Academy that Tilan once applied for, the second year is still dominated by Sequence 2, and Sequence 3 students account for about one-tenth.

In ordinary academies, such as Clara's school, nearly half of the students have just entered Sequence 2, and the other half are still in Sequence 1.

Learning is a painful thing. You think everyone will work hard to learn extraordinary knowledge and think about advancing as soon as possible, but most people don't have this sense of crisis. Surfing the Internet, playing games, partying, traveling, and having fun occupy most of their time. The average study time for high school students in the Federation does not exceed 2 hours a day.

Before Sequence 4, the competitive advantage brought by the Extraordinary Sequence is not particularly obvious, because the tools of this era are very advanced, and the popularity of AI allows most people's work to be done with simple operations. The disadvantage is that most people's wages are not high. After all, there is no technical content and they are highly replaceable.

After reaching Sequence 4, it will be significantly improved. Sequence 5 is generally the backbone of this society, that is, the elites of various companies and enterprises, while Sequence 6 is the backbone and core of large or giant enterprises, and Sequence 7 is often the main person in charge of certain projects and a master in the field.

Sequence 8 is too far away, and ordinary people often don't have to think about it.

After walking in the academy for a while, Tilan returned to the Ring Bird Wind Tower. Along the way, he could see large birds flying in the sky from time to time, and occasionally there were students riding on them. Most of them were third- and fourth-year students, and many were Sequence 4. After a long time, he could see one or two Sequence 5 students.

If you can breed a Sequence 5 extraordinary animal before graduation, or reach Sequence 5 yourself, you will be a top student in Iridium Academy. However, in Edes Academy, almost 90% of students can reach Sequence 5 before graduation.

It is also because of such a big gap that the Sixth Academy, as the first-tier school of the Emerald Skirt, is always shrouded in various halos, and every move is watched by everyone.

The standard for high school graduation in the Federation is Sequence 2. Even so, 20% of students still cannot graduate normally. Most backward schools are not paid attention to. The life of ordinary people is just like dust, disappearing in the sea of ​​people.
