The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Spiritual root.

This term, which carries a strong connotation of cultivating immortality, is very fitting for cultivators, but it seems somewhat "out of place" in the context of the Star River Era.

It should be noted that in the history that Ji Chen studied, none of the great figures of the Federation who went down in history possessed a talent of the 'spiritual root' type.

The Federation is a mature interstellar superpower civilization with advanced entertainment, so it's not surprising that it proposed the concept of cultivators.

But to insist on linking it to "spiritual roots" instead of supernatural abilities suggests there's something fishy going on.

Teacher Han didn't think much of it and casually replied:

"I've heard that 'spiritual root' is a concept from some civilization, which I don't really understand. Besides... why are you concerned about this stuff? Hurry up and follow the guidance robot to the martial arts department to register!"

Ji Chen chuckled awkwardly as he closed the office door, but in his heart he became more and more certain of his guess.

The boundaries of the main universe are so vast that even the Federation has not yet explored its depths.

However, in terms of the territory already explored, the civilizations encountered by the Federation during its growth were all alien species with different appearances, and even humanoid beings were extremely rare.

In this case, the "spiritual root" and even the superpower system of cultivators are definitely not from the creator world.

"So, does the Federation also have the ability to explore other worlds?"

Ji Chen muttered to himself, but it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

After all, the people of the Federation possess some supernatural qualities.

Even if all of humanity in the Marvel and DC universes from the American blockbuster films were combined, they would still be far inferior to the Federation.

It's not impossible that some people awaken the ability to communicate with other worlds, allowing the Federation to enter the multiverse.

"But, will I run into people from the Federation when I explore other worlds in the future? I hope I'm just overthinking it. There are countless worlds in the universe, the probability of encountering them is too small."

However, Ji Chen remained steadfast in his principles of conduct.

That is, the human beings and apostles try their best to conform to the original world in their behavior.

He didn't want to play the "invincible under heaven, enemy comes from the sky" tactic.

It's best to avoid some trouble.

Follow the robot as it winds its way around the campus.

Ji Chen also understood why the Superpower Academy occupied such a vast area.

This place not only has teaching areas, office areas, and accommodation areas, but also a super training ground.

There are also towering mage towers, shimmering with runes, with strange structures, some with obsidian-like bodies, others living buildings made of living flesh and blood.

Most of these mage towers looked aloof and solitary, but the mage tower with its active architecture gave Ji Chen goosebumps.

The bizarre style made Ji Chen realize that the Superpower Academy was no benevolent place.

But the mage towers aren't the most space-consuming; they're just tall, not wide.

The real land hogs are the mechanics' private factories, whose production workshops often cover tens of thousands of square meters, with production lines running around the clock.

At this moment, Ji Chen was actually glad that he didn't have the talents of a mage or a mechanic. These two superpower systems were not something a poor guy like him could handle.

Ji Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after being guided to the Martial Arts Department by the robot.

The martial arts department is quite simple and unpretentious.

Two teaching buildings and three super-powered training grounds. Inside, there are no extravagant super-powered materials, only simple and direct flesh-and-blood clashes, and simple, hard-working sweat.

The martial arts teacher on duty was a tall, strong young man with incredibly powerful muscles that seemed to be forged from metal and stone. When he saw Ji Chen arrive, he revealed a set of gleaming teeth.

"Oh, another newcomer. I must say, there are quite a few people from Red Cloud Star who choose the martial arts department."

Ji Chen was slightly surprised, but then he realized what was going on.

Apart from volunteer immigrants, the selected students are basically not gifted; he might even stand out among them.

After all, talented students are the lifeblood of a school; how could they bear to send them to a new planet?

After registration closed, the teacher on duty gave him a list of first-year martial arts textbooks and asked him to choose one.

"Our Superpower Academy teaches superpower knowledge for free, but new students can only choose three introductory knowledge materials. After passing the test by the instructor, they can then obtain subsequent knowledge and techniques."

"Also, our Superpower Academy doesn't divide students into grades by academic year. Students automatically advance to the next grade once they reach the required strength; if their strength isn't sufficient, they'll be held back. If they can't reach the two-star graduation standard after seven years, they'll be expelled!"

"Okay, that's all... Huh!"

After the teacher on duty read from the script, she suddenly looked at Ji Chen with surprise.

Although Han Jinghui is also a college teacher, he is completely unfamiliar with the field.

The mechanics couldn't distinguish between the physiques developed through gene serums and those cultivated through martial arts techniques, but the teachers on duty could.

Luo Mingwu is a four-star martial artist who has lived for over eighty years. He has a fairly good understanding of the basic martial arts techniques of the Federation, if not an expert.

But he had never seen anyone like Ji Chen before.

"Kid, you haven't cultivated some kind of technique spread by an alien civilization, have you?"

Ji Chen couldn't even see Luo Mingwu's movements clearly. He had barely heard the teacher on duty open his mouth when Luo Mingwu's large, fan-like hand was already on his shoulder.

Ji Chen was horrified, his eyes shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

His heart was pounding.

If the teacher on duty wanted him dead, he would already be dead by now.

"Kid, don't be nervous. As long as you're not secretly practicing alien techniques, I won't do anything to you. Let me check you out."

Then, Ji Chen felt a gentle energy flow rapidly through his body, starting from his shoulder.

Throughout the entire process, he felt no discomfort whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt warm and his blood and energy levels seemed to rise slightly.

"This style..."

Luo Mingwu frowned. After examination, the cultivation method practiced by Ji Chen, this new student, showed no trace of any alien civilization and was perfectly in line with human physical habits and structure.

The problem is, he's never seen this style before.

"Transforming the metaphysical concept of Qi and blood in Traditional Chinese Medicine into tangible, extraordinary energy—kid, your cultivation method is quite interesting. Who taught you?"

Luo Mingwu's eyes were filled with the excitement of discovering a new continent. After this exploration, he had another direction to improve his strength.

"This cultivation technique isn't registered with the Superpower Association, is it? If the person behind you doesn't register it first, don't blame me, Lao Luo, for being envious. I can live off the intellectual property rights for the rest of my life!"

With his martial arts foundation, he was confident that he could create a technique no weaker than Ji Chen's Zhen Tian Wu Ji Palm and Qing Yang Gu Yuan Zhuang with just a cursory glance.

Once he registers with the Superpower Association, he will enjoy the rights of the founder of the new school of martial arts, and he will receive a share of all the profits from the martial arts techniques that are developed in this school.

Of the revenue generated from federal citizens purchasing superpower knowledge, 5% goes to the property owner, while the remaining 95% belongs to the federal government and the Superpower Association.

In short, registering the ownership of a new cultivation method, especially at the beginning of a new school, is the best way for superhumans to make money.
