In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. During this week, Teacher Adore took everyone to the training hall every day for various exercises. According to Teacher Adore, if the talent ability required a strong mental attribute to release—such as some energy-based superpowers, including natural Devil Fruits—then they would head to the "mental cabin" to exercise the spirit.
If the talent ability leaned more toward strength or physique, they would go to the physical training room, like the "gravity room," to enhance physical fitness. For speed-related talents, training methods included sprinting, dodging obstacles, and engaging in some "whack-a-mole"-like games, all of which help exercise nerve reaction abilities.
Ben had been to all these training halls once. The others were fine, but the mental cabin was something else—it was simply not a place for humans. The mental cabin was specially designed. Not only was its architectural form extremely distorted, but the walls were painted with bizarre and suggestive patterns that could make you dizzy after just a few glances.
It was said that these patterns were all derived from things in the Energies of Humans, recorded by humans and then redrawn. Staring at these patterns would quickly consume your spirit, causing dizziness and brain swelling. Over time, they could even damage the brain. However, if you controlled the time you spent looking at them well, using it to exercise your mental strength, it would have a very beneficial effect. This method was far superior to traditional methods of energy consumption.
Human wisdom was indeed infinite. In just over a hundred years since the Holy Land appeared, humans had developed so many training devices with targeted methods for enhancing each basic attribute and talent ability. Of course, these training methods required individuals with talent abilities to make significant progress.
Ordinary people had their limits. No matter how hard they trained, they could never become transcendent beings.
This morning, Ben went to class as usual. When the bell rang, Teacher Adore appeared in the classroom on time.
"A week has passed. How is your teammate search going? Have you all formed groups?" Teacher Adore asked.
Most of the students raised their hands, signaling they had found their teammates. About a third of the students, including Ben, looked somewhat anxious, but he wasn't concerned at all.
Teacher Adore was satisfied with the students' progress and continued, "After you find your teammates, your next training should be done with them as much as possible. In addition to training your attributes, you must also work on coordination. When fighting monsters in the Energies of Humans, tacit cooperation often leads to miraculous results."
The students nodded in agreement. By now, they all understood that Teacher Adore might appear fierce, but was actually warm-hearted and deeply responsible for their progress.
At that moment, a student raised their hand and asked, "Teacher, it's been a week, but why have you only taught us how to train and not shared knowledge about the Energies of Humans?"
Hearing this, Teacher Adore asked, "What aspect of the Energies of Humans do you want to know about?"
The student answered, "Relevant knowledge about the first layer of the Energies of Humans! For example, what do the monsters in the first layer look like? What are their attack methods? And their weaknesses?"
Teacher Adore shook his head. "I can't teach you that because the first layer of the Energies of Humans is the Amnesia Spirit Realm."
"Amnesia Spirit Realm?" Many students exclaimed, while others, who knew about it already, remained calm.
Information about the Energies of Humans was strictly prohibited from being leaked by high-ranking officials of various countries. Only once you entered university would you be allowed access to some strategies. This was because artificial intelligence in this world was highly advanced. If someone tried to spread information online, it would be monitored and deleted immediately. If someone were to try and spread this information privately among relatives, as long as no one reported it, no one would pursue it.
Those calmer students likely had elders or relatives who were transcendent beings.
The authorities restricted the spread of information about the Energies of Humans as a method of gathering talent. Once you entered university, all your information—along with your achievements and progress in the Energies of Humans—would become transparent to the higher-ups. If you demonstrated extraordinary potential, someone would naturally try to recruit you.
"Don't make a fuss!" Teacher Adore continued. "There are many Amnesia Spirit Realms in the Energies of Humans. Even in the first ten layers, there are several."
"The Amnesia Spirit Realm means that when transcendent beings successfully return, they forget everything that happened in the Energies of Humans. Simply put, your relevant memories in the first layer of the Energies of Humans will be erased when you come back."
This revelation surprised many students, including Ben.
The Amnesia Spirit Realm was so mysterious?
Ben couldn't help but think that this could be a perfect opportunity for him to show off his skills. Even if others saw him in action, it wouldn't matter—after all, he would forget everything when he came out!
Teacher Adore smiled and added, "Although the Amnesia Spirit Realm erases all memories within it, your kill records in the Energies of Humans can still be checked. So, when you return, don't try to exaggerate your rewards and gains to get into Class A."
The students laughed, but Ben's face fell.
What?
The Energies of Humans could actually track your grades?
What happened to privacy?
He had been planning to kill everyone in the Energies of Humans and get the highest rewards—now that wasn't going to be possible. If someone looked at his grades, they'd definitely suspect him. With a talent that seemed to be useless, how could he possibly get the highest reward?
This could attract the attention of people interested in his background. After all, some people had obtained abilities like mind-reading in the Holy Land. They eventually entered specialized departments in the government. Wouldn't that expose the secret of Ben's Kryptonian bloodline?
Ben quickly weighed his options. Maybe he could just give up on the highest reward and act like a lazy person entering the secret realm, hanging back until the end. It was a possibility.
But Ben wasn't willing to give up on the rewards he could easily achieve!
The highest reward was just a bunch of rich "spiritual energy points." The extra rewards had a chance of giving top-quality items...
