My Doomsday Territory-Chapter 664

West of the main island of the floating island, the City of Knowledge.

About a dozen miles away from the suburbs of Tree Shade, along the spacious and straight cement road, a huge green onion ancient tree could be seen in the distance.

It was a hundred meters tall, and a beautiful treehouse was built on the thick trunk. It was the symbol of the World Tree Academy – even though it was not comparable to the real World Tree, it was still spectacular.

Tang Yu raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. In a split second, he saw the shadow that covered the sky above him.

The branches that were even more spacious than bridges, leaves that were several times larger than cattail fans… and the direction of the castle, the trunk of the World Tree that was like the pillar of heaven.

The World Tree used civilization as its soil and took root in the void, hiding in another dimension.

The support of Tree Shade City, the support of the territory… The new World Tree had returned to its former size, and the branches and leaves that covered the sky were bigger than the main island of the floating island and the three sub-islands combined.

In addition to the World Tree Academy, there were also two comprehensive universities, two middle schools… junior high school and high school had now been merged. The knowledge taught was not only basic literature, but also the history of the apocalypse, the analysis of demonic beasts, and other subjects. There was also the corresponding basic primary school that already had a mature education system.

As the Spring Festival approached, both the World Tree Academy and other schools were already on holiday, but there were still many students staying in the academy city.

They were all orphans and had nowhere to go, but they could finally have a happy festival this year.

“Mr. Principal, you are here.”

Tang Yu’s arrival alarmed the upper echelons of the academy. The first was the vice principal of the World Tree Academy. An old man with sparse hair, thin skin, and two front teeth was exposed in his mouth.

The old man was only a low-level awakened one. He had relied on medicine to force his way up. It wasn’t that he had a background that allowed him to become the vice-principal, but it was because he was indeed capable. Before the apocalypse, the old man had been an unknown school principal. He had helped poor students many times, but he had lived a poor life.

“Principal Zhang, long time no see.”

Tang Yu then remembered that he was the nominal principal of the World Tree Academy. Since the establishment of the academy, the number of times he had come here could be counted on one hand. Just thinking about it made him feel a little ashamed.

Zhang Gengsheng didn’t think much of it.

He was not an old Tree Shade person. He had gone through many twists and turns. He had gone to several medium and large shelters before coming to Tree Shade. If not for the students he had sponsored awakening and protecting him all the way, he would have been lucky. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get to Tree Shade.

Zhang was talented.

But his management ability was not bad. He used to be a basic level cadrein a large shelter.

But he was not used to the system of those large shelters. In addition to exploitation and exploitation, there were countless survivors in every Tiandu who starved to death, especially old people and children.

Zhang Gengsheng understood the helplessness in the situation. Old people and children were ‘burdens’ in the apocalypse, but without a new generation, how could humans talk about the future? There were many shelters with abundant food, and even orphanages could not be seen. It was even more impossible for schools to exist… He had asked to meet the leaders of the shelters, wealthy merchants, and high-level Awakened ones. Everyone scoffed at his idea of building a school.

It was already the end of the world, so what school?

Only Tree Shade still paid attention to education, and even invested a lot of money to build a school city… As the vice principal, Zhang Gensheng knew how much it cost. Even if it was a Holy Land level force, even if they also invested resources to build a school, their investment was not even one percent or one thousandth of Tree Shade!

It was the fortune of the World Tree Academy to have such a principal.

Mr. Tang was also the lord of Tree Shade City, the lord of the defensive circle. Compared to him, he only needed to manage the school and take care of the students. Mr. Tang had more important tasks on his shoulders, so it was naturally impossible for him to inspect the school often.

“Come, call the principal.”

Principal Zhang waved to some embarrassed students behind him.

They were not very old. They were between twelve to sixteen years old. They were the outstanding talents of the new generation of Awakened ones. When they saw Tang Yu, they were still a little stunned. He was too young. Tang Yu did not often appear in public, and his reputation might be the highest. However, compared to the students, he was not as familiar as Elaine, Luo Zhe, Kong and the others… Elaine and the others occasionally had public lessons at the World Tree Academy.

But… the principal?

Wasn’t the principal of the World Tree Academy the very young City Lord Tang?

They gradually matched Tang Yu’s appearance with the memorial statues in the academy.

“It really is the City Lord!”

“A living principal!”

“Welcome, Big Brother Principal.”

“I heard that Transcendents can live for a thousand years. Could it be that the principal looks young and can actually become Grandpa Zhang’s grandfather?”

“Stupid, how many years has it been since the apocalypse? The principal is an authentic person from the Fifth Epoch. If he can’t study history well, then don’t lose face… According to my speculation, the principal should be around Grandpa Zhang’s age. It’s just that his cultivation is high, so he has returned to his youth.”

These little brats won’t talk… Tang Yu’s smile twitched slightly.

Zhang Gensheng coughed awkwardly and politely.

“Who were you guys just now?”

“We were discussing the candidates for the first New Student Cup.”

New Student cup?

Why haven’t I heard of it at all? Tang Yu couldn’t help but wonder if his attention to the territory was too little.

“The New Student Cup is an international competition. In fact, it was proposed by the Ancient Spirit Imperial Family not long ago. The time of the competition has yet to be determined. The method is a group competition. It only applies to the ‘new generation’ that is 12 to 14 years old or can be extended to 15 years old. When the new generation awakens, they have already missed the time of the ‘rapid increase of soul force’ period. They can only rely on cultivation, and they pay more attention to inheritance and cultivation.”

Zhang Guisheng said, “Other than us, Tree Shade, Ancient Empire and Northern Court are the holy lands that value the nurturing of the new generation the most. However, Gu Ling attaches more importance to the nurturing of the awakened. As for us and Northern Court, we are more comprehensive.”

Tang Yu nodded slightly, but he did not care too much. Regardless of whether he won or lost, Tree Shade had already passed the stage where he needed to rely on the competition to increase his influence.

As for children who were twelve or thirteen years old, they needed to fight and see blood. No one cared about this. Zhang Gensheng hoped that the new generation could get better training, but he was not pedantic. In the first two years of the apocalypse, it was not uncommon for children who were only a few years old to pick up weapons and face the demonic beasts.

Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, “If you can achieve good results in the New Year Cup, you can give each of you an [A] class item as a reward. If you can get first place, each person will be rewarded with an [S] class item, and a beast garden will be built in the World Tree Academy… That’s right, it is the kind that can be visited. If you reach an agreement with the beasts, you can still take it away.”

The eyes of the young men and women lit up when they heard this.

Principal Zhang was the same. The Beast Garden? Could it be… he recalled the rumors he had heard before. The Ministry of Research was developing the runes to contract beasts. Now, it seemed that this might not be a rumor.

He looked at Tang Yu, who nodded imperceptibly.

Of course,

It’s a bit difficult to get first place… It’s not that the teaching method of the World Tree Academy is not good, nor is it that there are not enough resources. It’s just a high-level item that can increase one’s cultivation. The academy rarely gives it to anyone casually. The students have to fight for the most cultivation resources on their own… Ancient Spirit and other dynasties, the royal family must have a focused target to nurture…

Zhang Gensheng understood this very well, but his opinion was the same as Tang Yu. The New Student Cup was for the sake of better training students, not to strive for a ranking.

Under Principal Zhang’s lead, Tang Yu inspected the World Tree Academy. He was warmly welcomed by the remaining students and successfully showed his face, brushing his own presence.

Of course, under Principal Zhang’s various complaints, Tang Yu invested a large amount of resources into the academy.

…

In the Ancient City District, the hiding place of the bald middle-aged man and the others had been changed from the Star-grade Hotel to a residential room.

Four rooms, two halls.

The ugly young man who was in charge of contacting them once again brought a message, “Boss, there’s news from the top. We have to complete the operation within a week.”

The bald middle-aged man frowned and did not speak. He paced back and forth in the room. “Have you found out the location of that lord?”

“No. The prison guard we bribed did not have enough status. He only knew that the lord was imprisoned in the depths of the prison. It was impossible to buy him out. Even if he was just a prisoner in the shallow layer, he would need the consent of three prison guards to be brought out.”

The bald middle-aged man frowned even more deeply.

He had thought of using the prison guard to lead the way and bribe the higher ups, but there was obviously not enough time.

He was not confident in his current operation.

“But… If it’s just a visit, the prison guard can take us in. Well… I mean the second guardian, who is only imprisoned in the shallow layer.”

The bald middle-aged man was silent for a while. He waved his hand to let the ugly youth leave. He took out the prison part composition diagram he had drawn and looked at it for a long time.
