Chapter 22: The Starlight Inheritance

After defeating the Black Abyss Order, the Super God Academy gained worldwide renown, becoming a sacred site revered by civilizations across the universe. Lin Yu, as the pivotal figure in this victory, was hailed as a hero of the cosmos. His name resonated throughout every galaxy, inspiring countless young lives to dedicate themselves to the noble cause of safeguarding universal peace and exploring the unknown.

To better pass on the knowledge and spirit of the Super God Academy and to cultivate a new generation of cosmic guardians, Lin Yu decided to establish a brand-new course at the academy: "Star-Light Inheritance." This curriculum was designed to select and train students possessing exceptional talent and unwavering conviction, imparting to them the experience he had gathered through countless adventures, his unique insights into various forms of energy, and the core values of the Super God Academy, ensuring they would become the pillars of the future universe.

The Super God Academy issued an enrollment notice for the "Star-Light Inheritance" course. The news swept across every corner of the universe like a shower of meteors. Countless young dreamers arrived from all directions; they came from different civilizations, boasting diverse racial backgrounds and cultural identities, yet all shared a deep reverence for the academy and a longing for universal peace.

During the selection process, Lin Yu participated personally. He established a series of rigorous and comprehensive assessments, not only testing the students' physical fitness and energy-manipulation talents but also delving into their inner worlds, moral character, and understanding of justice. In one practical examination, the students were placed in a simulated cosmic crisis, where they had to use their wisdom and strength to protect innocent lives and resolve the threat within a complex and ever-changing environment.

Lin Yu observed the students' performance closely from the sidelines. He noticed a young student named Eric, who hailed from a technologically advanced yet relatively small civilization. Faced with a formidable virtual enemy, Eric did not retreat. Instead, he cleverly utilized his surroundings and combined them with his technical knowledge to craft improvised energy traps and defensive fortifications, successfully stalling the enemy's advance and buying precious time for his teammates. Lin Yu nodded to himself; in this young student, he saw calmness, intelligence, and tenacity.

There was also a female student named Lillian, who came from a civilization renowned for its cultivation of psychic energy. During the assessment, Lillian displayed immense talent in mental manipulation, easily perceiving the enemy's intentions and disrupting their attacks with her psychic power. However, Lin Yu also noted that Lillian lacked proficiency in teamwork, as she relied too heavily on her own abilities and sometimes ignored her companions. Lin Yu realized this was an area that required guidance and correction in her future training.

After layers of selection, twenty outstanding students emerged as the final candidates, successfully entering the "Star-Light Inheritance" course. These students became the rising stars of the Super God Academy, set to embark on a journey of learning filled with challenges and opportunities under Lin Yu's meticulous guidance.

The "Star-Light Inheritance" course officially commenced. Lin Yu first led the students on a retrospective of the academy's long history—from its original founding intent to the countless cosmic crises it had weathered, and finally to its current status as the guardian of universal peace. Through vivid storytelling and precious historical archives, he allowed the students to deeply grasp the great mission and responsibility shouldered by the Super God Academy.

"Students, the history of the Super God Academy is a legend written in blood and sweat. Our predecessors spared no cost to protect the peace and justice of the universe. Now, this responsibility falls upon our shoulders. You are the future of the Super God Academy and the hope of the universe. I hope you will study hard here, carry forward the spirit of the academy, and become true guardians of the cosmos." Lin Yu's voice was firm and powerful, echoing through the classroom and deeply touching the heart of every student.

During the theoretical portion of the course, Lin Yu explained the mysteries of cosmic energy in detail. Starting from basic light and electrical energy, he gradually delved into Starlight Energy, Holy Energy, Chaotic Primordial Force, Void Power, and the newly discovered "Star-Vault Power." Through practical demonstrations and case studies, he enabled the students to intuitively grasp the properties and applications of these different energies.

He condensed a sphere of Starlight Energy in his palm and showed it to the students: "Starlight Energy is pure and powerful, possessing properties of purification and restoration. In combat, we can use it to repair damaged shields and weapon systems, or to neutralize and disperse an enemy's dark energy." As he spoke, he released the orb, which struck an energy-absorption device in the corner of the classroom. Under the influence of the Starlight Energy, the device's dim lights instantly brightened, and minor damages were rapidly repaired.

Next, Lin Yu spoke of the righteous radiance of Holy Energy and its unique efficacy in protection and healing. He invited an emissary from the Angel Civilization to the classroom. The emissary unfurled their pristine white wings, releasing Holy Energy, and the entire room was bathed in a gentle white glow. The students felt the warmth and tranquility brought by this energy, filled with awe and longing for such power.

When explaining Chaotic Primordial Force and Void Power, Lin Yu's expression grew solemn. He emphasized the danger and uncontrollability of these two forces, showing images of past cosmic disasters caused by their misuse, ensuring the students understood the necessity of treating these powerful and mysterious forces with extreme caution.

"Chaotic Primordial Force and Void Power are the taboos of the universe. Once utilized by evil forces, they will bring about catastrophe. As guardians of the universe, we must understand their properties so that we can detect and thwart their threats in the future." Lin Yu's words were like a heavy hammer, striking the students' hearts and making them deeply aware of the heavy burden they carried.

Regarding the "Star-Vault Power," Lin Yu shared his own insights and discoveries from his explorations. He told the students that "Star-Vault Power" was a mysterious energy containing the origins and order of the universe, closely tied to the fate of the cosmos itself. Although their current understanding of this power was limited, it represented a crucial direction for their future explorations.

"Students, 'Star-Vault Power' may be the key to unlocking many of the universe's mysteries. I hope that in your future studies and research, you will continue to delve deeper, bringing new hope and light to the Super God Academy and the entire universe." Lin Yu looked at the students with a firm gaze, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Beyond theoretical instruction, Lin Yu placed great emphasis on practical training. He brought the students to the academy's combat training base, equipped with state-of-the-art simulation systems and energy-shielding facilities, capable of replicating various complex cosmic combat scenarios.

During this practical training, Lin Yu formulated personalized training plans based on the students' distinct traits and abilities. For students with strong physical fitness and outstanding melee capabilities, such as the student named Karl, Lin Yu focused on training his energy-blade techniques and close-quarters combat skills, teaching him how to flexibly integrate physical power with energy attacks for seamless execution.

As for students like Lillian, who possessed high psychic talent, Lin Yu helped her further increase the intensity and control range of her mental power. He guided her through deep meditation and practical combat simulations, teaching her how to precisely employ her psychic abilities for offense, defense, and supporting her teammates in the heat of battle.
