Chapter 68: New Life University
"My body feels warm, light, and radiant," Lein said with a hint of pride in his voice.
Lein looked at his body with a wide smile, admiring the full power he had unleashed.
"Okay, enough resting... let's go chase those points, hahaha," Lein said with a small
laugh, then he ran and rushed towards the nearest battle area.

City of Life, Divine Sky Realm.
Several magnificent buildings with a peaceful and serene ambiance stood tall on Lein Island. These structures were surrounded by tall green plants and massive walls made of black crystal stones. The square-shaped perimeter wall stretched 50 km on each side. Inside this wall stood modern and futuristic buildings.
This 50 square km area was the New Life University area, recently inaugurated by Nita a few days ago.
In the northern part of the area was a 50-meter-high gate, flanked by two statues on either side. This was the north gate, and the two statues were of Lein and Nita. When the campus staff first approached Nita for permission to build the statues, she was overjoyed. She only informed Lein after the statues were erected, fearing her brother might refuse.
In front of the north gate, hundreds of vehicles and thousands of people had gathered. They were all new students and their families. Since it was the opening of the first campus, their families came to celebrate as well. Even the locals near the university area came to have a look.
Entering through the gate, visitors were greeted by the main campus building, the Knowledge Building. This building had 40 floors and was 300 meters wide. Its design was very modern and futuristic, with clear glass walls that did not reflect sunlight.
A floating elevator helped transport people from one floor to another, and the building was constructed from mesmerizing blue crystal, adding unparalleled beauty and luxury.
In front of the building was a wide field and a smooth stone main road. The area in front of the building was filled with enthusiastic students, who greeted and got to know each other. Some wealthy students were accompanied by their servants.
"Look at that beautiful flower! What's its name?" asked a curly-haired girl to her friends.
"Yes, this campus is amazing, even those cool statues," another student added.
"The air here is very refreshing," commented another.
Along the right and left sides of the main road were beautiful gardens and charming relaxation areas. Various flowers of different shapes, sizes, and colors adorned these areas, creating a colorful and captivating scenery. Artistic statues depicting microorganisms, fauna, and flora were scattered throughout the garden, adding an artistic touch and natural wonder to the relaxation areas.
The gardens also featured several special holograms that students could use to check schedules, find information, take photos, order food from the canteen, etc. These holographic boards served as multifunctional campus tools. Additionally, there were several observation towers in the garden areas, recording all events happening in the campus's public areas.
As students walked closer to the main building, the Knowledge Building, they saw several human statues along the way. However, these statues were not of Lein or Nita.
These statues were of famous Earth scientists such as Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Pythagoras, etc. There were currently over 100 statues. Each statue had a special holographic board to learn more about the scientist.
"What a beautiful statue... the details are very realistic," remarked a student.
"Pythagoras is a person's name? I thought it was just a theorem," said a man to his friend.
"How did you graduate high school with such a low IQ?" his friend mocked instead of confirming.
"Thank you, Sir Isaac," said a woman with round glasses, looking at the Isaac Newton statue with admiration. She had learned more about his life journey from reading and watching the information displayed on the hologram.
The creation of these scientist statues was a testament to the importance and greatness of knowledge for a nation, race, and living beings. The concepts and formulas put forth by these scientists remain beneficial to this day, helping to calculate areas, think critically, understand how the body works, etc.
The hope was that the previous scientists would not be forgotten by the new generation, thus the statues were created.
When the students reached the entrance of the Knowledge Building, they saw eight national flags fluttering beautifully beside the entrance.
"Look, there's the Japanese flag! Does that mean there are Japanese students too?" asked a man with a meaningful look to his friend.
"Fix your mindset before looking for a girl; otherwise, you'll only scare them away," his friend advised.
"You talk as if you've already got one..." the man rolled his eyes, not believing his friend's advice.
"Didn't you see the conversation about the races earlier? It was explained that the eight major national alliances made an agreement to form the University," explained a woman to her friends.
"Yes, I saw it a few days ago."
"Well... it makes sense. Our country's knowledge is still lagging. We're forced to cooperate with other countries," commented a man with tan skin to his group.
"Well... it's not a bad thing to collaborate. Who knows, you might find a foreign girlfriend," teased his friend.
"Hahaha."
"Amen..."
As the students mentioned, the university's rector understood this. So, he planned to collaborate with other countries. However, he faced strong opposition, which was understandable. He was no more than a person with an S-level talent in knowledge to others. The great alliances even asked him to join them, but that was something the rector could not do.
He still had a high sense of patriotism towards Indonesia.
Finally, the rector asked Nita and Lein for help in negotiating the offer. Nita had asked her brother Lein about the issue and received an answer that he could handle everything.
