The entire internet crashed! Cultivation... has really entered university classrooms?

The video ended.

The screen returned to darkness, leaving only the ancient, vigorous School emblem and the four large characters "Taibai Academy," quietly suspended in the center of the frame.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Immediately after, like a depth charge exploding on a calm sea, the entire internet of Great Xia completely crashed in that single second!

Major social platforms, short video apps, and forums collectively collapsed due to the sudden influx of massive traffic.

The server error pages frantically flashed across countless people's phone screens.

When programmers from the major platforms, sweating profusely, finally managed to restore the servers,

overwhelming barrages of comments and replies swept over every corner like a tsunami.

"Holy crap?!"

"Taibai Academy? What kind of weird name is that? Why does it sound so much like... a Xianxia School?!"

"The person above, be more confident and remove the 'like'! This is the aesthetic of a Xianxia School! Look at the mist, look at the architecture, and look at that stone stele!"

"Although the video was only fifteen seconds long, I was profoundly shaken! Is this really not a trailer for some top-tier Xianxia movie? The resolution is blurry, but this Concept... it's incredible!"

"Wake up, person above! Look closely at who published the account! [Great Xia Ministry of Education], [Great Xia Supreme Academy of Sciences], [Great Xia Daoist Association]! Would these three giants jointly release a movie trailer? What does this mean?"

"The more I think about it, the scarier it gets...! The Academy of Sciences plus the Daoist Association and the Ministry of Education—I couldn't come up with this absurd combination if I tried!"

"Case closed! Everything is closed! This is the place in the depths of the Qinling Mountains that the previous poster talked about! So the country sealed the mountain not to build Gundams, but to build a Xianxia School?!"

"That's right, I'll stop pretending! I'll come clean! I'm actually an Old Monster who has been practicing Qi Condensation for three thousand years, and I finally waited for the Spiritual Qi recovery!"

"Don't be crazy, person above! I just want to know how to get into this School? Do I need Gaokao scores? Or do they check Spiritual Roots? I want to go! Even if I just become a gatekeeper! Please, give me a spot!!"

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the youth of Great Xia.

The four characters "Taibai Academy" swept across all major hot search lists with an unstoppable momentum, even directly suppressing the popularity of the "Sakura Sinking" event.

Countless university and high School students cheered excitedly in their dormitories, frantically shaking their roommates' shoulders,

as if they could already see the dashing scene of themselves flying on swords to get food from the cafeteria.

"Third Brother! Stop sleeping! Get up and cultivate immortality!"

"Cultivate my ass! We have class at eight tomorrow!"

"What eight o'clock class are you talking about! Look at the news! It seems the country is opening a Xianxia School! We'll be the first batch of Immortals!"

"Holy crap! Is that true?!"

"Then I'm going to be a Sword Immortal! No one stop me!"

Similar conversations occurred in university dormitories across the country.

The blood of the youth is always the easiest to boil; faced with an opportunity that only existed in fantasy, few could remain calm.

In contrast to the fervor of the youth, those older and more rational people,

interpreted more alarming information from the short fifteen-second video.

In a forum with millions of active users, several sticky hot posts were receiving frantic replies.

"Brothers, don't just focus on the excitement, carefully consider the accompanying text—'The New Era is Founded on This'."

"It seems this is not just a simple School; it is clearly a signal!"

"A bugle call for the country to advance into some unknown Domain through this academy!"

"Combined with the previous Sakura Heavenly Punishment incident and the golden giant on Changbai Mountain... I have reason to suspect that the country has already mastered a systematic method for cultivating supernatural power!"

"Actually, the participation of the Daoist Association is the most intriguing... Could it be that the things left behind by our Old Ancestors are all true?"

"The times are changing... This time, the times are truly changing."

"..."

Over the next two days, this wave of excitement not only failed to subside but intensified due to the official "playing dead."

Everyone was staring intently at every official account, like lottery players waiting for the draw,

Even if the official account only posted a weather forecast, it would receive hundreds of thousands of comments asking "When can we cultivate immortality?" and "How do we sign up?"

Even the topics discussed by old men playing chess by the roadside shifted from international affairs to "Do you think my bone structure is good enough to practice?"

In this near-suffocating anticipation, two days flashed by.

On the morning of the third day, exactly ten o'clock.

There was no preview, no video, not even an accompanying image.

The official website of the Great Xia Ministry of Education quietly updated a new post.

It was a document.

A formal document bearing a bright red header.

Seeing the solemn formatting, all the netizens who had been joking around subconsciously held their breath.

They knew this was the answer that would determine their future destiny.

Countless trembling fingers clicked on the full image of the document.

The opening paragraph of the document was still concise:

[To adapt to the strategic needs of national development in the new era, and to comprehensively enhance the physical quality and spiritual will of the citizens, the Highest Decision-Making Level has decided, after deliberation, to make the following important deployment regarding the reform of the national higher education system...]

Seeing this, many people were still confused.

Educational reform?

This happens every year, what's so strange about it?

It's nothing more than adding or subtracting credits, or adjusting courses.

However, when their eyes moved down and they saw the first item in the body of the document, and the bold, black title,

everyone's pupils contracted violently in that instant!

It clearly stated:

"Notice Regarding the Comprehensive Implementation of the Compulsory Course 'Foundational Body Tempering' in All National General Higher Education Institutions."
