Chapter 124: The Goddess Reina

"If you ask about my motives, it is simply to contribute a little more to Earth. You see, practitioners take the salvation of all living beings as their duty. The crisis facing Earth is unprecedented, so even I cannot stand idly by."

Lin An adopted a look of profound compassion for the world. Even Qi Lin was moved by his words; it turned out he was such a person, devoted to the country and its people.

Jayce, however, remained skeptical. While what Lin An said made some sense, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

"Furthermore," Lin An continued, noticing Jayce's lingering doubt, "even you aliens are willing to do your part for Earth. How could you think I would have any selfish motives in doing this?"

"Uh..."

Lin An’s words left even Jayce unable to argue. After all, the very purpose of establishing the Super Seminary on Earth was to help human civilization withstand the coming crisis.

"If that is the case, I truly have nothing more to say," Jayce conceded.

It wasn't just Jayce; the other instructors at the Super Seminary nodded in agreement. The crisis Earth might soon face was unprecedented, and no one could afford to remain aloof. Practitioners had always kept themselves separate from worldly affairs, so their willingness to break those rules and aid humanity marked a significant change.

"The only thing that worries me is this: according to urban cultivation novels, Earth is currently in the Age of Dharma Decline. In such a short time, can they really succeed in becoming practitioners?" Jayce wondered. He had read many fantasy novels where Earth was described as being in an era where spiritual energy was so depleted that cultivation was essentially impossible. That was why he asked.

"Those are just works of fiction. It is still perfectly possible to cultivate in this world," Lin An replied, speechless. He hadn't expected Jayce to be so deeply misled.

In truth, Lin An didn't know much about "spiritual energy" either. Based on his own senses, Earth did possess it, just not as densely as in other realms. Therefore, if one had the right methods, cultivation was still viable. However, Lin An didn't need spiritual energy to boost their strength; he simply used the yin energy from the Yama Temple, combined with Soul Points, to directly enhance their power.

"If that is the case, then I am relieved. With the addition of cultivators to the Super Gene Project, I believe their strength will increase significantly," Jayce said happily.

According to their original plans, the students had clear roles, much like a game—supports, marksmen, and melee fighters. But if everyone could learn sword-control techniques, it would not only provide them with more offensive options on the battlefield but also vastly improve their chances of survival. Perhaps, at a critical moment, it would yield unexpected results.

"Really? Can you truly teach us sword-control techniques?" Ge Xiaolun and the others were stunned. They hadn't expected such a stroke of luck; it seemed the Super Seminary was actually useful for something.

"That's right. Once the Super Seminary has finalized your arrangements, I will begin teaching you," Lin An announced to everyone.

Almost everyone was overjoyed. Even the usually stoic Qiangwei revealed a rare smile.

Despite this, the staff at the Super Seminary remained somewhat wary of Lin An. They spent the evening asking for details, all of which Lin An handled with ease. Even General Dukaao emerged from his busy schedule to meet him personally, wanting to confirm if ordinary humans could truly learn these techniques. If they could, he would have full confidence in defending against alien races.

Unfortunately for the General, Lin An informed him that it was not possible for everyone. For an ordinary person to become a practitioner, even just to reach the entry level, could take years of effort—let alone reaching the point of controlling a sword to slay enemies.

Lin An wasn't lying to Dukaao. Unless they had special constitutions like Ge Xiaolun and the others—what they called "Super Gene" technology—the gains for ordinary people would be extremely limited, even if Lin An used Soul Points to assist them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to infiltrate the Super Seminary; he could have just picked random people from the masses.

A day later, the students of the Super Seminary began their formal training. The situation was dire; they could be sent into battle at any moment. The earlier they trained and adapted, the more effective they would be. Three days later, all the cadets had successfully received the sword-control techniques and a foundation of powerful cultivation from Lin An, effectively becoming members of the Yama Temple.

Ge Xiaolun and his group naturally kept this from Dukaao. If the General knew, he would probably start a war with Lin An immediately.

That day, Jayce gathered all the cadets to announce that a new student would be joining the Super Seminary—a true, powerful goddess.

"A goddess? Does such a thing really exist?" Zhao Xin asked, confused.

"Well, aliens and cultivators are real. I've heard rumors of angels and demons. If a goddess or even the Monkey King were to show up now, I wouldn't be surprised," Ge Xiaolun said. His worldview had been completely shattered over the past few days; he would believe anything the seminary told him now.

"True. I used to think alien invasions only happened on TV, but look at what's out there now," someone added.

"The Monkey King does exist," Lin An interjected. "And it won't be long before he appears at the Super Seminary."

"What? The Monkey King is real?" Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and the others exclaimed. Ge Xiaolun had only been speaking off the cuff, and he was immediately proven wrong.

"The one we are about to see is Leona, a goddess from the Leiyang star system. Although she has lived longer than all of you, you can consider her your peer..." Jayce began explaining her background. She was supposed to have arrived on the first day of school, but had been delayed.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light appeared before them, blinding many of the students. As the light faded, Leona stood in their midst.
