This comprehensive adult education college could provide services like literacy training, advanced studies, and vocational training for all adult residents of the territory.

The depth of the curriculum at the "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service College" was similar to that of "Lingguang Middle School," but its content was more diverse and broader in scope, even including some very basic literacy knowledge.

With this adult education college, the territory’s adult residents and recruited soldiers could also learn new knowledge. They would no longer fall behind as the territory continuously progressed, eventually losing their value in obscurity. After studying, these soldiers might even be able to advance in rank.

Once the "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service College" was unlocked in the territory’s building list, Lin Chenxi knew what to do without Lin Yu even needing to send a message.

Under her supervision, several "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service Colleges" were constructed in each settlement.

Unlike the previous few schools, the "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service Colleges" were swamped with people the moment they opened. Countless adult residents and recruited soldiers flooded into these colleges, eager to learn more and become more useful members of the territory.

To deal with this, Lin Chenxi had to adjust the colleges’ educational content. She designated two "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service Colleges" for literacy training, four for vocational training, and two as advanced studies colleges to cultivate high-end talent. Entry into the latter required passing a certain assessment.

After this division, most residents went to the literacy or vocational training colleges. Due to the sheer number of enrolling residents, these two types of colleges adjusted their schedules so that each student only attended class once a week, which finally brought order to everything.

The training at the advanced studies colleges also got on track. The first batch of students were all exceptionally talented residents who had previously taken the initiative to study at the Wisdom Library or the Jade Sanctuary.

They weren’t necessarily the smartest, but they were certainly the most diligent.

It was foreseeable that in a few months, the territory would see a surge of high-end talent, and the number of talented individuals would only grow from there.

At this point, the territory’s entire education system was basically complete. From the young to the old, all residents could receive the educational resources they desired.

After this shopping spree, Lin Yu had purchased nine building blueprints, spending a total of a Million Points in the points store. But it was all worth it. The territory’s potential was increasing at a visible rate. In the future, in the World Tree Territory, every one of its people would be as mighty as a dragon. It was only a matter of time before it became an Extraordinary Territory.

After resolving the education issue, Lin Yu switched back to his main body, watching the territory develop at high speed in its accelerated state.

...

Mo Zhi was a member of the Crow Race. As a crow that was only eight months old, his wings were already fully fledged, and he was considered an adult among his kind. However, in the context of the entire territory, his age made him just a baby.

It was said that his mother had laid him (as an egg) while bathing and drinking from the Spring of Life.

When he hatched from the egg and grew feathers, all the crows were astonished to find that his feathers were pitch-black, as if they could absorb all light like a black hole, with no reflection whatsoever.

After that, he displayed an intelligence far beyond that of ordinary crows. In just a few short months, his intellect had grown to be equivalent to that of a crow several years old. He had an eidetic memory and could grasp new knowledge the moment he saw it.

With a body as black as ink and a natural intelligence that surpassed other crows, his mother named him Mo Zhi.

On this day, Mo Zhi woke up very early. According to the territory’s regulations, it was time for him to start school.

Mo Zhi was an adult in the Crow Race but was still very young by the territory’s standards. Therefore, he could choose to attend adult training at the "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service College" or go to school at the "Spiritual Child Kindergarten."

After careful consideration, he chose the "Spiritual Child Kindergarten." Compared to going directly to the "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service College," the path from "Spiritual Child Kindergarten" to "Wisdom Seedling Primary School" and then to "Lingguang Middle School" offered a more complete and comprehensive educational system, progressing from low to high levels.

Moreover, the schools allowed students to skip grades. This meant that as long as he could complete the relevant coursework and pass the assessments, he could quickly advance to "Lingguang Middle School" or even enter the "Spiritual Power and Comprehensive Science College."

Speaking of the long study time, it was worth mentioning that thanks to all the residents learning the "Sun and Moon Breathing Technique," coupled with the high concentration of Spiritual Energy in the territory’s environment, their lifespans had increased dramatically under the nourishment of Spiritual Energy.

Otherwise, based on their original lifespans, many types of residents would die of old age right after completing the full "Spiritual Child Kindergarten" - "Wisdom Seedling Primary School" - "Lingguang Middle School" educational path.

For this reason, many young from short-lived races would choose to enter the "Spiritual Ability Comprehensive In-service College" after their brief childhood growth period, in order to complete their literacy training, find a job, and realize their self-worth as quickly as possible.

"Going to school, Xiaozhi?"

"Yes, Grandma Mo Qiao."

"Good morning, Xiaozhi!"

"Good morning, Aunt Gu Lan!"

...

Along the way, any member of the Crow Race who saw Mo Zhi would greet him warmly.

When he was just two months old, Mo Zhi had learned to drop stones into a bottle to raise the water level and drink. This had left the older generation of crows completely stunned and made his name known throughout the entire Crow Race. Combined with his highly recognizable ink-black feathers, he was extremely well-known.

Mo Zhi grabbed his small schoolbag and flew to the nearest "Spiritual Child Kindergarten"—Phoenix Kindergarten. Since the kindergarten was located in the settlement of the flying folk, most of the students were the young of avian species.

It was named "Phoenix" because they heard the Lord say that the phoenix is the supreme ruler of birds, the king of Extraordinary avians.

However, Mo Zhi disagreed. ’It should have been named Golden Crow Kindergarten,’ he thought. ’Golden Crows can turn into suns. That’s obviously much stronger than a phoenix.’

After a simple health check at the school gate, Mo Zhi entered the school, stood at his seat, and waited for the teacher to start class.

The "Kindergarten" did not have a specific enrollment time. As long as a resident was of the right age, they could enroll at any time. Because of this, no one had prepared an entrance ceremony for him.

A little while later, the teacher walked in. Unlike the students, the teacher at Phoenix Kindergarten was in human form—an Eagle Demon.

(The teachers throughout the entire education system are currently heroes from various races. Most heroes of the Beast Race have already advanced to the Demon Race.)

"Good morning, students!"

"Good morning, teacher!"

"Let’s begin class! Everyone, first watch this instructional video!"

...

"Everyone, repeat after me, ’1+1=2’."

...

"Everyone, let’s recite ’Spring Dawn’ together..."

...

"Why is there day and night..."

...

After a full day of learning, Mo Zhi grabbed his schoolbag and flew home. He felt that the knowledge taught at school was too simple. With his intelligence, he understood everything the moment the teacher taught it. But the teacher had to repeat it over and over for some of the dummies in the class, which he felt was a bit of a waste of time.

"Xiaozhi, you’re back! How was school today?"

"Mom, there’s a dummy in my class. The teacher taught it several times, but he still doesn’t get it. Aren’t the parrot clan supposed to be very smart? Why is the kakapo in our class so dumb?"

"Alright, alright, I know you’re smart. You should be able to recognize most of the common language by now, right?"

"I already know more than five hundred characters! And I learned how to use a dictionary!"

"Then how about you go to the school library tomorrow and borrow some books? When the teacher is teaching things you already know, you can just study on your own!"

"Okay, Mom!"

Mo Zhi thought, ’If Phoenix Kindergarten is only going to teach this simple stuff, it won’t be long before I skip to Phoenix Primary School. I hope I can get into the Spiritual Power and Comprehensive Science College soon.’

Becoming a glorious senior researcher was his current life goal.
