Chapter 354: Chapter 251: Exercising the Golden Throne’s Privilege, Zhang Yi and Lu Mei Stay Behind
(For readers who may have forgotten, this was mentioned in Chapter 200.)
"Doesn’t that mean we still have to grind through missions,"
"and if we fail, the Clans in our Divine Realms will die for nothing!"
"But now our Tianya Academy team captain, using the privilege he earned from winning the Golden Throne,"
"gets to skip this round of assessments entirely and still collect the rewards for the hardest mission?!"
"Yes, you already said that. You don’t need to repeat yourself!"
Wan Zhixuan said, annoyed.
"We’re still agonizing over which mission difficulty to choose,"
"and he gets to just skip the entire assessment!"
"The gap between people can sometimes be bigger than the gap between a person and a dog!"
"..."
Hearing the time and place he mentioned,
the other students also remembered.
They recalled the words of Chief Instructor Yang when they first met him in the Starry Hall.
What Zhang Yi said did indeed match their memories.
But that just made it even more outrageous!
An uproar erupted!
The other members of the Tianya Academy team were utterly stunned by this "divine move" from Zhang Yi, a blow from a higher dimension!
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t even begin to compete with Zhang Yi!
While they were still racking their brains just to complete their missions,
Zhang Yi, a member of their very own team,
was already standing at the finish line, thanks to his past glories!
The disparity made them feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
"No wonder Zhang Yi is the captain of the Tianya Academy team, while we’re just official members!"
one of the official members of the Tianya Academy team sighed.
"Don’t even mention it. I’m not even an official member yet,"
another, a reserve member of the Tianya Academy team, said.
...
And seeing Zhang Yi’s back as he stood before everyone,
Hong Tianyi was so shocked by Zhang Yi’s performance that his jaw dropped.
After a long moment, he finally muttered:
"Holy... shit!"
"So you can even flex like that!"
"That’s a flex of unprecedented proportions!"
"Before the heavens gave us Zhang Yi, the Dao of Flexing was an eternal night!"
Hong Tianyi’s heartfelt exclamations were not too loud and not too soft, just enough for the nearby Tianya Academy team members to hear.
And when they heard Hong Tianyi, they didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’Is this really the time to be critiquing how good Zhang Yi’s flex was?’
’This is clearly Zhang Yi using his privilege to conserve his strength and widen the gap between them!’
But when they saw it was Hong Tianyi speaking, who was known to be especially close with Zhang Yi, they understood.
Hong Tianyi wasn’t aware of their thoughts,
and neither was Zhang Yi.
But for Zhang Yi,
skipping a battle against other Clans
might not necessarily be a good thing for strengthening the Clans in his Divine Realm.
Only through constant combat and constant Priests could the strength of the Clans in the Zhang Yi Divine Realm be increased at the fastest speed!
And seeing Zhang Yi’s performance just now,
Lu Mei’s cold eyes shone with an unprecedented light!
Her lips pressed together tightly, and she couldn’t help but clench her slender fingers.
Zhang Yi’s recent display,
aside from once again leaving a deep and vivid impression on Lu Mei’s heart,
also served as a reminder to her.
She also possessed the privilege of the Golden Throne!
What Zhang Yi could do,
she could do too!
However, Lu Mei was not so impulsive.
She didn’t choose to rush up and question Instructor Li Qiongtian alongside Zhang Yi.
Lu Mei chose to remain below, lips pressed tight, fingers clenched, awaiting Instructor Li Qiongtian’s answer.
At this moment, in the small training camp hall,
the gazes of the other Tianya Academy team members were all fixed on Zhang Yi and Instructor Li Qiongtian.
They all wanted to know what the final answer from Instructor Li Qiongtian’s lips would be!
And so, in the silence,
while the other students were filled with tense and complicated emotions,
Zhang Yi, the man at the center of it all, felt no pressure at all.
Instructor Li Qiongtian’s gaze was deep as he looked at Zhang Yi.
Time itself seemed to freeze in that moment.
Every second felt like an eternity!
But after a few seconds,
under the bated-breath stares of everyone present,
Instructor Li Qiongtian finally spoke slowly, his tone leaving no room for doubt:
"The privilege of the Golden Throne was personally established by Chief Instructor Yang!"
"Therefore, Student Zhang Yi’s application is approved!"
"Student Zhang Yi will now use the privilege granted by the Golden Throne to skip the second internal assessment of the second round of the University Alliance Training Camp!"
"His reward will be issued based on the highest mission difficulty, that of a Hell Difficulty mission!"
"The reward will be distributed at the same time as for the other students, after the second internal assessment is over and the results are out."
"Thank you, Instructor!"
Zhang Yi bowed slightly.
And after successfully skipping this round of assessment and securing the highest tier of rewards,
Zhang Yi showed no hesitation, turning to return to his original spot in the team.
However, just as Zhang Yi turned and took no more than two steps down,
and just as the other Tianya Academy team members were feeling a bit disappointed at not hearing the answer they wanted,
another clear voice cut through the crowd, reaching everyone’s ears.
"Student Lu Mei also applies to use the privilege of the Golden Throne to skip this round of assessment!"
Lu Mei strode out from the crowd and came to stand before Instructor Li Qiongtian,
brushing past Zhang Yi as he was walking down.
Instructor Li Qiongtian seemed to have expected this. Without any hesitation, he nodded and said:
"Application approved!"
"Student Lu Mei will also use the privilege of the Golden Throne today to skip the mission for the second internal assessment of the second round of the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp!"
"She will also receive the reward for the highest tier, the Hell Difficulty mission!"
At this, the small training camp hall fell silent once more.
The air seemed to freeze again.
Zhang Yi and Lu Mei stood before them all like two isolated, towering peaks,
showing them the meaning of true genius!
In fact, after their brief moment of jealousy towards Zhang Yi,
some of the other students had come to their senses.
’We should have been congratulating Zhang Yi just now!’
"Sigh, how did I miss such a good opportunity?"
One student even shook his head.
And now, seeing Lu Mei also petition Instructor Li Qiongtian to use the Golden Throne’s privilege after Zhang Yi,
their hearts were as still as an ancient well. They were not nearly as shocked as when they had first seen Zhang Yi do it.
Hong Tianyi, however, looked at the two figures before him and was fiercely envious!
After Zhang Yi and Lu Mei finished using their Golden Throne privilege,
and this "little interlude" was over,
the other members of the Tianya Academy team, including Hong Tianyi,
also finished selecting the missions of varying difficulty they would challenge on their personal terminals.
Instructor Li Qiongtian spoke again.
"Very good. Since all students have chosen their missions,"
"then the second internal assessment of the second round of the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp will now officially begin!"
"All students, prepare to enter the specialized Divine Domain Connection Pods for the assessment!"
"Zhang Yi and Lu Mei, stay behind."
Hearing Instructor Li Qiongtian’s sudden words,
not only were the subjects, Zhang Yi and Lu Mei, stunned,
but the other students were stunned as well.
Expressions of surprise appeared on both Zhang Yi’s and Lu Mei’s faces.
However, Instructor Li Qiongtian’s next words clarified the reason.
"Although the two of you used the Golden Throne’s privilege to skip this round’s internal assessment mission,"
"I still need to record the progress of your Main Clan or any new Clans you are cultivating!"
"So, the two of you, wait here for a moment."
"After I report your situation, you will also need to enter a Divine Domain Connection Pod and log into the Divine Realm so I can record your progress in cultivating your Main Clan or new Clans over the past month!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Lu Mei understood and replied in unison, "Okay!"
