Chapter 217: Chapter 191: Battle of the Two Armies, the Mobility of the Centaur Cavalry Legion
An hour passed by quickly.
The Elf Corps, composed of 1,000 elite Elf Soldiers hand-picked by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, was already assembled on the training grounds, ready for battle!
Their formation was orderly and filled with a murderous aura!
They were only waiting for the Teleportation Gate to open!
Meanwhile, Zhao Tianlai from Baili City Third Middle School...
...had assembled his elite troops even faster than Zhang Yi.
However,
this wasn’t because he was stronger than Zhang Yi, but because his Clan consisted of Centaurs.
It was naturally more convenient for them to gather!
Compared to Zhang Yi’s Elf Corps, which was a well-rounded force lacking only cavalry,
Zhao Tianlai’s assembled Centaur Corps was a natural combination of cavalry and Archers.
But at this moment, he lacked the confidence he usually felt when fighting classmates from his own school. Instead, a trace of worry crept into his heart:
’With the strength of these 1,000 Centaurs, they have Bow and Arrow volleys for ranged attacks and the War Trample Skill for close combat.
With a setup like this, there’s no way I can lose, right?!’
A sliver of doubt lingered in Zhao Tianlai’s mind, but he quickly reassured himself:
’As long as I win this battle, my 1,000 Points will become 1,500. That’s enough to buy an Unrivaled Quality Five-star Divine Domain Card!’
’Then, I’ll be able to buy the Bloodline Evolution Fruit Tree I’ve always dreamed of!’
’Strengthening the Centaurs’ bloodline to the Demigod Level will definitely secure me a place in this University Alliance Training Camp!’
’My power will snowball from there, getting stronger and stronger!’
’I absolutely will not let down the hopes my parents and school have placed in me!’
"..."
Zhang Yi had no idea that his opponent, Zhao Tianlai, had already developed a sense of fear before the battle even began,
simply because he was from Golden City No.1 Middle School.
Halfway through the one-hour preparation time allotted for this battle,
the Elf Corps, personally selected by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, had already completed all its preparations.
With half an hour to spare, Zhang Yi made a promise within his Divine Realm:
"All who fight for the great God of Nature in this war may enter the Divine Kingdom upon death!"
"Those who do not wish to enter the Divine Kingdom may enter Reincarnation."
"Victors will have the opportunity to be baptized in the [Bloodline Evolution Pool] or the [Pool of Faith]. Those with outstanding contributions may receive a chance to enhance their potential..."
Originally, the eyes of the Elf Corps members chosen by Elf Legion Commander Feiyana were filled with the hope of defending their homeland.
They had a desire for victory, but it wasn’t overwhelming.
However, with the pre-war promises made by the great God of Nature,
a much stronger desire for victory ignited in the eyes of the Elf Clan!
While defending their homeland could certainly stir the emotions of these Clan members,
as mentioned in the university textbook on the study of faith,
solely using the justification of protecting the Divine Realm and fighting for their Divine Spirit,
and repeating the same slogan for too long, would only lead to mental fatigue among the Clan.
But when the slogan of defending their homeland was combined with rewards from their Divine Spirit,
it could stimulate the Clan’s desire for victory to the greatest possible extent!
Even while at home during winter break, Zhang Yi hadn’t given up on his studies.
After dealing with matters in his Divine Realm, Zhang Yi would study university-level material in advance.
Zhang Yi estimated that with his strength, he would, at the very least, make it to the final stages of the University Alliance Training Camp.
He figured he probably wouldn’t have a chance to return to school for his entire last year of high school.
As for university textbooks, that was actually the easiest problem to solve.
「Meanwhile」
After all the students from Donghuang Province had entered their battle rooms to prepare for combat,
Instructor Li Qiongtian, who normally had unrestricted access to move anywhere within the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress via his Divine Power,
had arrived in the main control room.
Inside the main control room, besides Instructor Li Qiontian, there were dozens of other instructors with varied temperaments, each responsible for other provinces.
They came from military districts or other top-tier universities,
and their strength was at the level of a Weak Divine Being or higher.
But they all shared one common trait: they had all participated in and successfully graduated from the University Alliance Training Camp!
At this moment, they were all gathered in the main control room, using its equipment to observe the debut performances of the geniuses from each province.
A massive, circular screen was divided into several sections.
And each of those large sections contained smaller feeds of individual battles.
A female instructor who seemed to be on good terms with Li Qiongtian, and who had a rather stunning figure,
watched the screen for a moment.
Seeing that most of the students were still in their preparation phase, she couldn’t help but turn to Li Qiongtian.
She asked,
"How’s it going, Brother Li?"
"In your batch of students, are there any worth keeping a close eye on?"
Perhaps because the battles on the screen hadn’t started yet and he was feeling a bit bored himself,
Li Qiongtian gave the female instructor a rather detailed reply:
"Just looking at the list they provided, there are quite a few good prospects!"
"There’s Lu Mei from a Middle-level Divine Family. She’s known as the Fire Witch. Her Initial Clan is the Fire Attribute Sunbird, which has the potential to become a Sun God Bird!"
"Then there’s Hong Tianyi, also from a Middle-level Divine Family. His Initial Clan was Kobolds, but through his own efforts, nearly all the Kobolds in his Clan now possess a trace of Dragon Blood!"
"He’s very impressive!"
As he recalled Hong Tianyi’s profile, Instructor Li Qiontian’s voice faltered for a moment.
Then, just as he was about to continue, he suddenly stopped speaking.
