Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

"Instead of going through the trouble of building our own academy, we might as well send these little guys to the human race to study for a while."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox held a different opinion regarding the tiger clan strongman's proposal.

In her view, whether in the past or present, the human race does indeed have a method for raising the next generation.

Consider this: the mortal realm has experienced thousands of years of human history, and the passage to the celestial realm has only been reopened for a little over five hundred years. Yet, every human who can ascend, regardless of their cultivation level, possesses exceptional combat skills and adaptability.

The idea of ​​using everything available to defeat the opponent seems to be ingrained in the very bones of humanity.

What left the demon race speechless was that although human cultivation emphasized cultivating the mind and virtue, once they had to fight, they could immediately throw those rules to the back of their minds and come up with all sorts of unexpected and winning tricks.

As former enemies, the demon race has suffered greatly in this regard.

However, it must be admitted that when enemies become teammates, the human race is the most reliable and reassuring.

"But the human way... might not be suitable for us little brats." The tiger-clan man frowned and casually retorted.

The nine-tailed celestial fox glanced at him and retorted, "Let's put aside whether it's suitable or not. I'm just asking you, can our demon race find enough good enough 'teachers' to systematically teach them those formations, weapon crafting, talismans, pills, and magical abilities?"

"This..." The tiger-clan strongman was stumped by the question and was speechless for a moment.

He couldn't refute it.

To compensate for their shortcomings in physical body and natural talents, the human race has developed an extremely complex and profound system of heterodox doctrines through the accumulation of wisdom over countless generations.

It's not that the demon race doesn't want to learn these things, but the threshold is too high and the system is too complicated.

Not to mention the demon race, during that great war, many other races also tried to learn the human race's strange skills and tricks to fight back. The result was often that they tried to imitate the tiger but ended up with a dog instead. They even made a joke of their own formations and magical treasures being easily taken over by the human race.

Want to start a college?

The availability of qualified teachers alone is a formidable hurdle.

"There's no need to rush this matter," Ye Li, who had been quietly observing the battle, slowly spoke, her gaze still fixed on the arena below. "One of the reasons I invited the Jade Emperor to send these young people here is to let our little ones see and experience firsthand the importance of these human 'methods.' Knowing the gap will give them the motivation to catch up."

"Oh?" The nine-tailed celestial fox looked at her, a hint of interest flashing in her beautiful eyes. "From what you're saying... you already have a concrete idea?"

"I do have some initial ideas, but we're still weighing them." Ye Li nodded slightly.

"Tell me quickly!" The tiger-tribe strongman perked up.

Ye Li glanced at him and said calmly, "My first thought is to directly select a group of promising talents to 'study abroad' at the human academy."

She paused, then continued, "My second idea... is for us to take the lead and try to establish a 'land of inheritance' or 'academy' for the demon race. But initially, we need to ask the Jade Emperor to send some human cultivators who are proficient in various 'heretical' arts to serve as instructors."

"The second one is good!" The tiger-clan strongman's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox nodded in agreement. Ye Li's second plan was clearly more prudent and feasible.

Their original intention was not to train the younger generation of demons to become array masters or weapon refiners, but to enable them to systematically understand these human methods, comprehend their principles and countermeasures, so as to avoid suffering great losses in the future when they encounter them on the battlefield due to ignorance.

It should be noted that most of the traitors in the Three Realms are from the human race.

If one lacks a basic understanding of the diverse combat methods of the human race, the consequences could be disastrous if one were to encounter them in the future.

As for the possibility of turning against the human race again after the war ends?

Almost zero.

This alliance between the two races is a supreme oath made to the Heavenly Dao at the cost of the fate of both races.

The price of breaking an oath is something neither humans nor demons can bear—the decline of a race's fortune will directly affect the aptitude and potential of countless future generations of newborns.

For this reason, both sides tacitly agreed to temporarily seal away the history of that devastating war that swept across the three realms.

Some old grievances, since they've already been put to the past, should be left buried deep in the past; it's better for everyone.

The day's competition quickly came to an end.

All 398 battles have concluded. Final results: The human students achieved a resounding victory on the first day of the exchange battle with 323 wins and 1 draw, demonstrating an overwhelming advantage.

This result was hard for many proud and arrogant young prodigies of the demon race to accept, but most of them did not make excuses. They accepted their defeat with gritted teeth and were determined to get back at the top tomorrow.

The human students were overjoyed and had a lively dinner together to celebrate their good start before returning to their lodgings.

Qin Le gathered everyone into the largest stone hall in the residence. He sat at the front, looking at the students whose faces were still filled with excitement.

"How do you all feel about today's results?" Qin Le asked, a gentle smile on his face.

"Of course it's great!"

"A resounding victory!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically, creating a lively atmosphere.

Qin Le nodded, then changed the subject, posing a deeper question: "So, what do you think... why were we able to win so 'easily' today?"

This question gradually calmed the students, who were still basking in the joy of victory, and made them start to think seriously.

Without hesitation, Luo Qiuyue was the first to answer: "Information gap. The demon race knows almost nothing about us; while we have some understanding of their fighting style and racial characteristics."

"Yes, that's it!"

"They can't even detect the most basic array pattern concealment techniques."

"They had no idea about the special function of my magical artifact."

"Just throw a few talismans at them, and they're thrown into a panic."

"They seem to lack a concept of many of our conventional tactics."

"..."

Everyone chimed in, adding their own comments.

The resounding victory on the first day was indeed largely due to intelligence superiority. The demon race lacked understanding of their diverse methods, while the intelligence team was able to formulate general countermeasures in advance, taking into account the characteristics of different demon races.

At this moment, Qin Le's voice rang out again, his tone calm yet carrying a clear reminder:

"But tomorrow... things will be different."

He swept his gaze across the crowd: "Almost all the methods you used today will be countered by the demon race tomorrow. They will even develop specific countermeasures. Tomorrow's battle will not be as 'easy' as today."

The hall fell silent instantly. The students looked at each other, their excitement fading and replaced by seriousness and contemplation.

Qin Le is right; this is an obvious fact.

"Of course, I'm not saying this to dampen everyone's morale." Qin Le's tone softened, and a smile returned to his face. "On the contrary, I want to remind everyone that starting tomorrow, once the 'intelligence advantage' is gradually leveled out, that's when your individual strength, adaptability, and the depth of your trump cards will truly be tested. That's the true meaning of 'exchange'."

These words seemed to give everyone a shot of adrenaline.

"Hey! You're right! I haven't even used my special skill yet, I'm guaranteed to win again tomorrow!"

"My trump card hasn't been revealed yet!"

"I've been hiding a combination formation; I'll give it a try tomorrow!"

"I didn't activate my Qi and Blood Domain today either!"

"I still have plenty of talismans in stock!"

"..."

The atmosphere became lively again, and the students teased each other and shared their hidden tricks.

Indeed, in order to secure victory and to observe their opponents, most people did not go all out today, and more or less held back some of their cards.

As for the few students who failed today, they need to work even harder tomorrow and rely on themselves to find a way out.

After all, everyone wants to win enough sessions to earn the precious reward of listening to the Jade Emperor preach.

No one will lend their cards to others before achieving their goal.

This is not selfishness, but human nature.
