Chapter 322: Chapter 235: Inventory of Gains: 2 Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifacts, [Thorny Giant Sword] and [Blood-colored Wail]
After all the steel armor and weapons left behind by the Vampire Corps had been sorted and moved back to the warehouse, the long-awaited notification Zhang Yi had been anticipating finally rang out.
[DING!]
[Candidate Zhang Yi, the first end-of-month internal team assessment has concluded. You may now choose to exit the Divine Domain Connection Pod and return to the training camp, or you may delay your exit by half a day to finish handling matters in your Divine Realm before returning to reality.]
[Your performance during the assessment has been recorded by this processed Divine Domain Connection Pod. It will be reviewed and graded by Chief Instructor Yang.]
[After returning to the training camp, please wait patiently.]
[The assessment results and rewards will be announced and distributed by your instructor tomorrow.]
[Candidate Zhang Yi, do you wish to exit the Divine Domain Connection Pod now?]
"Yes!" Zhang Yi replied eagerly.
He was still waiting for his Clan’s ritual in the Divine Realm!
The next moment, Zhang Yi’s consciousness returned to the Divine Domain Connection Pod room in the small training camp at the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress.
Exiting the pod, Zhang Yi stretched his muscles a bit and walked out of the room. However, as soon as he stepped into the main hall of the small training camp, he saw Instructor Li Qiontian and the other nine team members, who had been in the middle of a heated discussion, suddenly fall silent.
The entire hall went quiet, as if someone had hit a pause button. Even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. The team members, who had already finished their assessments and were reviewing their experiences with Instructor Li Qiontian, were now all fixed on Zhang Yi as he walked out, as if drawn by a magnet.
Zhang Yi sensed the strange atmosphere but was a bit confused. This was especially true for Lu Mei, who had always been cold and aloof toward him. Now, as her cool eyes rested on him, her heart stirred for the very first time. It was as if, imperceptibly, a strange emotion for Zhang Yi had stirred within her.
Feeling a little uncomfortable under their stares, Zhang Yi subconsciously reached up to touch his face, thinking something might be wrong with it. His subconscious movement finally broke the heavy silence, and Instructor Li Qiontian also snapped out of the strange mood.
He stepped forward, patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder, and explained, "I just had them watch a recording of your Hell Difficulty mission! They were all completely stunned! I was using your outstanding performance as an example to motivate them, and right after I finished my little motivational speech, you walked out. So, that’s what created the atmosphere you just felt."
Zhang Yi nodded in understanding.
So that was the reason.
Zhang Yi wasn’t particularly bothered by Instructor Li Qiontian’s actions. After all, the same thing had happened during the divine War for the Golden Throne; this was just a repeat. If seeing his immense power could make the other members of the Tianya Academy team willing to follow his lead, it would allow him—their nominal captain—to manage them better. He didn’t mind them watching if that was the result.
"Oh, so that’s what happened," Zhang Yi said in a relaxed tone. "Does Instructor Li have anything else for me? If not, I’m heading back to my room."
"Of course you can!" Instructor Li Qiontian nodded. "I know you’re eager to process what you’ve gained from this battle, so I won’t keep you. Just remember to check the messages on your personal terminal."
"Tomorrow is the first day of April," Instructor Li Qiontian reminded him. "The results and corresponding rewards for the March end-of-month internal assessment will be announced and distributed then. Don’t miss it!"
Zhang Yi nodded, smiled, and returned to his room.
As they watched Zhang Yi’s hastily departing figure, the hall of the small training camp once again fell into silence. After a long moment, a member of the Tianya Academy team remarked with a sigh, "The gap between people can sometimes be greater than the gap between a person and a dog!"
This time, no one refuted him. Some even nodded silently in agreement.
