Heavenly Craft Academy
[Star Luo Empire], ' Gengxin City ', more than fifty miles south of the city.
Here lies a small mountain range that stretches for seven or eight miles, with its highest point only three hundred meters high.
Originally, this small mountain range had no name and was unknown. Apart from the Black Iron Village at the foot of the mountain, there was no other human habitation within a radius of seven or eight miles.
The villagers of Black Iron Village simply refer to this small hill, which is visible right outside their door, as "the back hill."
But two years ago, several important figures from Gengxin City came here, climbed to the highest point of the mountain behind their village, and casually drew a line with their hand, and this small mountain range got its own name.
Heavenly Craft Academy!
The villagers of Black Iron Village witnessed the establishment of the [Heavenly Craft Academy]. In less than three months, it transformed from a desolate hillside filled with rocks and overgrown vegetation into a well-arranged cluster of buildings.
When it comes to architecture, the Defense Clan is not the only one to dominate the Douluo Continent, which possesses extraordinary power.
It was only after joining the Clear Sky Sect and becoming an affiliated Soul Master family of the number one sect in the world that their fame soared, and the Defense Clan became known throughout the world for their defensive and architectural characteristics.
Excluding ordinary construction teams and stonemasons, and aside from the official construction departments of various empires and kingdoms, in the Soul Master World, when it comes to construction, the two major "Niu Clan" are the first to be mentioned.
One of them is the [Defense Clan - Niu Clan], whose Martial Soul is "Armored Giant Rhinoceros".
The other is the Lingxi· Reite Clan, whose Martial Soul is "Moon-Gazing Spirit Rhinoceros".
Compared to the [Defense Clan Niu Clan], which takes the extreme defensive route, the members of the [Ling Xi Reite Clan] choose to develop a balanced approach in terms of strength, defense, endurance, and agility in their Martial Soul development.
Similar to the differences in their Martial Soul development philosophies, the two families also differ greatly in their architectural styles.
The Niu Clan's architecture is often characterized by its rugged style, sturdiness, durability, and focus on using robust and cost-effective materials. They also boast an extremely fast construction speed. They once had a record of building an entire city wall in just seven days.
Although it was just the walls of a small town, it was enough to prove the capabilities of the Defense Clan.
In their architecture, the Reite Clan, in addition to ensuring sturdiness and solidity, often pursued aesthetic refinement in the details.
Therefore, when many noble families and Soul Master families build their family residences, they often ask the Reite Clan to design and construct them.
Of course, because of this pursuit of perfection, the Niu Clan would often build three or five estates covering dozens of acres before the Reite Clan could successfully deliver an estate of roughly the same size.
Two years ago, at the invitation of the Blacksmith Association, the Lingxi· Reite Clan came to Gengxin City to build the guild's soon-to-be-established academy.
That time, under the Blacksmith Association's financial strategy, seven architectural Soul Master families, including the Lingxi· Reite Clan, were recruited, along with more than ten construction teams mainly composed of ordinary people. With a construction team of more than three thousand people, they transformed a mountain range that stretched for seven or eight miles, with a maximum height of three hundred meters and an average height of more than one hundred meters, into a complete and comprehensive academy complex in less than three months.
Unlike other Soul Master Academy on the Douluo Continent, this academy, named "Tiangong," requires students to take an "engineering" course in addition to teaching them the cultivation of Martial Soul.
Since the beginning of September in the 2611th year of the Douluo Calendar, when the Heavenly Craft Academy enrolled its first batch of students, it has now established five engineering disciplines.
The three most popular fields are 'Forging', 'Sculpture', 'Carving', 'Woodworking', 'Agronomy', and 'Medicine'.
The popularity of forging is easy to understand. As an academy founded by the Blacksmith Association, the young Soul Master who come here to study naturally know that the status of blacksmiths is no longer what it used to be.
This is certainly true, at least within a thousand miles of Gengxin City.
The reason why carving can surpass those three unpopular courses and become second only to forging is because the representative profession of carving is stonemasonry, which is the seven major architectural Soul Master families led by the Lingxi· Reite Clan.
More than a year ago, when the academy was completed, as an inspector for the Blacksmith Association, Divine Craftsman Ling Yi had a long talk with Hamo Reit, the patriarch of the Reite Clan, and the patriarchs of six other architectural Soul Master families.
After the conversation, each of the seven families sent a member to serve as a teacher at the [Heavenly Craft Academy].
Furthermore, Hamo Reit, the clan chief with Soul Emperor- level strength, personally took up a position at the academy, becoming one of the vice deans.
The dean of the [Heavenly Craft Academy] is Tie Futu, a Soul Douluo- level Divine Craftsman. The vice deans include Lou Gao, the current president of the [Blacksmith Association] and a Soul Emperor- level Divine Craftsman, Ling Yi, the youngest Divine Craftsman in the history of the continent, and Hamo Lett, the patriarch of the [Spirit Rhinoceros Clan]. Looking at all the advanced Soul Master Academy on the entire continent, such a high-level team is enough to rank in the upper-middle range.
After all, neither Lou Gao nor Hamo Reiter are more than fifty years old, with the latter being only in his early forties and still in the process of growing in strength.
Lou Gao is confident that he can break through to the Soul Saint within five years, and Hamo Reit is just as confident!
After all, the cultivation resources of the [Heavenly Craft Academy] far surpass those of small Soul Master families, whether it was the former [Blacksmith Association] or the [Spirit Rhinoceros Clan], they were far inferior.
The advanced Mimicry Cultivation Ground with various attributes, the unheard-of cultivation aids and secret techniques, and the all-encompassing nourishing foods and medicinal cuisines all plunged Lou Gao, Hamo Reit, and others into a blissful dilemma.
To paraphrase a certain regimental commander, Li, who wished to remain anonymous: I have never fought such a rich battle in my life!
Of course, these resources are not meant to be readily available for anyone to use.
As the vice dean of the academy, and also a teacher who occasionally gives classes to students, he will certainly receive the appropriate benefits, salary, and merit points.
The various cultivation aids in the academy, as well as the qualifications for learning secret techniques, nourishing foods and medicinal cuisine, all require certain exchange qualifications and merit points to be paid before they can be enjoyed.
As Vice Dean Ling said, public matters are public matters and private matters are private matters. If a machine is to operate for a long time, a set of effective operating rules is essential.
Vice Dean Ling also said that value creation is mutual. Today you have created value for the college and contributed to its growth, and the college will surely give back to you as a member of the college.
Having witnessed firsthand how the academy grew from nothing to something under his leadership, from training teachers to recruiting students, Hammer Reiter has poured a lot of effort into the academy. In terms of emotional attachment, although it cannot compare to the family behind it, it is second only to the family.
Not to mention, of his seven sons and three daughters, excluding the three older sons and one daughter who are studying at other advanced Soul Master Academy, and the youngest twins who have not yet Martial Soul Awakening, Hamo Reit's remaining four sons and one daughter have already enrolled at the [Heavenly Craft Academy].
Under the academy's tutelage, the five children's growth was evident to the naked eye. Their strength was undeniable; even a Soul Emperor like themselves had gained immensely. Most importantly, their character and mental fortitude far surpassed those of students from other Soul Master Academy on the Douluo Continent.
No, it should be far beyond the vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent today!
