- You received x1 Major Origin Essence Bundle

Cale took out the Major Origin Essence Bundle from his storage space. This was the first time he received this kind of reward as he always received a Minor Origin Essence Bundle. A small orb of light the size of a coin appeared in his hands. It was golden in color and Cale could already feel the origin essence it contained. He hastily consumed the whole thing.

He did not need to chew the Major Origin Essence Bundle as it immediately melted on his tongue like an ice cream. It produced a cool sensation when it traveled down his esophagus and he could not help but inhale a mouthful of fresh air.  

Following his consumption, the origin essence inside his body continued to soar. The increase in origin essence stopped until he reached the very peak of Divine-Class level. As for his physical body, it had long since cope up with his cultivation.

"Even a Major Origin Essence Bundle could not help me reach the initial stage of Saint-Class level. Perhaps next month I will be able to ascend to that level." Cale sighed and shook his head. He was a bit dejected, but he immediate calmed down. 

"During my time as the Major General of Earth Alliance, the strongest was merely at the peak stage of King-Class level. Only the Grand General was able to reach that level, but now, things are different. Demi humans, I, Cale Sylvann, is awaiting your invasion." Cale's eyes burned with hatred as he recalled the ten years of continuous battle during his past life. Now he was sure that those demi humans were merely playing with them, or was just using them to sharpen their new troops. 

"You dare make us your training tools?!" Cale punched the wall of his room which bore a fist size hole. 

The door opened and several silhouettes went inside his room with worried looks.

"My lord, what happened?" Asked Vishnu who was now at the late stage of Divine-Class level. Atlas and Brogen did not speak, but their eyes contained clear concern for him. Both guys were at the middle stage of Divine-Class level.

Cale removed the killing intent in his eyes and produced a light smile. 

"Nothing happened. I was just practicing with my new cultivation, because I already reached the peak of Divine-Class level." Cale shook his head as he tapped the men's shoulder faintly.

He then heard several hurried footsteps and saw two beautiful figures running in their direction. Both the beauties had anxious looks on their faces.

"My lord, are you okay?" Nocturna stopped in front of Cale and asked while holding his right arm.

Zarinvienne on the other hand hugged Cale tightly. She looked at him with small globules of liquid in her eyes. 

"My lord..."

Cale rubbed Zarinvienne's head gently and hugged her back. He then pulled the pouting Nocturna in his embrace and hugged her tightly. Both women felt much better and they had forgotten the strong killing intent they had felt earlier from Cale.

The three men, Vishnu, Atlas and Brogen had smiles on their faces, but their eyes still contained a hint of distress.

"Call Ulric for me please, I want him inside this room as fast as possible. I need to ask him about the Virtual Training Facility for our students." Cale glanced at Brogen who nodded his head. 

"The rest of you, go back to your stations." Cale glanced at the men while patting both women's head. 

"Yes my lord."

Atlas and Vishnu left immediately, while the women pouted before they left unwillingly.

Brogen went back inside the room and told Cale that Ulric is already coming.

In less than thirty minutes, Ulric arrived at Cale's room. The former saw the fist size hole on the wall and the spider web cracks around it, but he shut his mouth after seeing Cale's stoic face.

"My lord, I have arrived." Ulric spoke in a reverential tone of voice while bowing his head lightly.

"Good. Ulric, I called you here to ask you about the Virtual Training Facility for the Earth Alliance Academy. How is it?" Cale sat down and gestured Ulric to sit on the chair opposite him.

Ulric sat down and cleared his throat before he spoke. 

"The Virtual Training Facility is all set and ready my lord. Daphne told me that it will be fine for the students to use it. And I can guarantee that no problems will happen my lord." Ulric reported with a confident tone.

"Good job! Tell Demetrio to allow the students on using the Virtual Training Facility next week. Their training must be hastened. We don't have the luxury of time to be complacent." 

"As you wish my lord. Oh right! The hangar and runway will be ready in a month my lord." Ulric smiled after recalling that they were almost finish with their other project. 

"That's good, but don't overwork too much Ulric. Tell Daphne that I'm giving the both of you a week off. You may leave." Cale stood up and gestured Ulric to leave. The latter bowed his head and left.

One week later, inside the S-Class Section of Earth Alliance Academy.

"Okay everyone, it's time for your first mission as a class. The Virtual Training Facility is now open for all the students. Follow me." Santharus smiled after seeing the excited looks on everyone's faces. He then gestured the class the follow him outside.

It's not just the S-Class Section, but all Sections of the academy went out if their rooms and walked towards the Virtual Training Facility to do their first mission.

They never know that it was the start of experiencing the cruelty of war. And it was also the beginning of Cale's plan on creating the strongest army for humanity. Many years from now, a book will be written about the first training of Earth Alliance Academy's students, but that is for another story.
