Chapter 434: Chapter 289: Moral Blackmail? I Refuse! The Final Results of the Yanhuang Federation’s Second Round Are Revealed
The first day of June was bright and sunny.
Even Zhang Yi, who was inside the small training camp at the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress, found himself in a good mood because of the fine weather.
At 7:35 in the morning,
Zhang Yi appeared right on time in the small training camp’s main hall.
Today was the day the results for the second round of the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp were to be announced.
The assessment, which had lasted a full three months, was finally revealing its results today!
How could Zhang Yi not be excited?
That was why Zhang Yi had arrived early at the small training camp’s main hall.
And he wasn’t the only student with the same mindset.
However, those like Zhang Yi, who held the position of captain within their team and were hoping for a promotion after the assessment results, were ultimately in the minority.
The majority, students who didn’t hold a captain’s position, were simply hoping that when the results were announced, they wouldn’t be in the bottom five and get eliminated from their team.
As Zhang Yi entered the small training camp’s main hall, he saw Hong Tianyi with a smile on his face.
Given Hong Tianyi’s performance in the last two internal team assessments,
securing third place within the Tianya Academy team shouldn’t be a problem for him.
"Brother Zhang, you’re here early."
When Hong Tianyi saw Zhang Yi arrive, he immediately went up to greet him with a smile, though he spoke with false modesty:
"I was tossing and turning all last night, couldn’t sleep a wink, just thinking about the results coming out today."
"I just don’t know if I’ll actually pass the second round of the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp assessment."
Before Zhang Yi could say anything to reassure him,
Hong Tianyi added with another smile:
"But then, when I think about my scores from the first two internal assessments, and the gap between me and fourth place, I feel a lot more confident."
"Heh heh!"
Hearing Hong Tianyi’s words of feigned humility,
Zhang Yi walked over with a smile and clapped him on the shoulder.
"Sounds like you gained a lot from this internal assessment!"
Having known Hong Tianyi for so long, Zhang Yi immediately understood the source of his confidence.
"Of course!"
Hong Tianyi suddenly lowered his voice, unable to hide his excitement, and said in a tone only the two of them could hear:
"This time, for the internal assessment I chose, I successfully killed a Red Dragon whose strength was approaching that of an Eighth Transformation Demigod!"
"My ordinary Clan members suffered heavy casualties,
but as long as the Heroic Clan didn’t die,
then what I gained this time was a net profit!"
Zhang Yi was also taken aback by Hong Tianyi’s words.
After all, the Clans under his command had never accomplished the feat of slaying a dragon,
though they had accomplished the feat of slaying gods twice.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Zhang Yi was completely sincere when he said this.
Zhang Yi also knew very well what killing a Fire Attribute Red Dragon meant for Hong Tianyi, whose forces were a Dogman Clan Clan Army,
and how crucial it was for their morale!
He could also imagine the huge transformation Hong Tianyi’s Dogman Clan Clan Army would undergo after killing a Fire Attribute Red Dragon!
As the two were talking, a few members of the Tianya Academy team whom Zhang Yi didn’t pay much attention to approached them.
They all had different expressions on their faces.
One of them, a student whose scores were in the lower ranks and who had been in the elimination zone for the past two assessment rounds,
hesitated for a moment,
then suddenly walked toward Zhang Yi, his face a mixture of earnestness and anxiety.
"Cap... Captain..."
His voice was a little hoarse.
"Today... the final results for the second round of the Yanhuang Federation assessment will be announced, and I know my performance in the first two internal team assessments was average, and my performance in the third internal team assessment was also unremarkable."
"But... I wanted to ask..."
"Captain, is there anything you can do?"
"Or, could you put in a word with the instructor... help me..."
He didn’t finish his sentence, but his meaning was already perfectly clear.
He was hoping that Zhang Yi, for the sake of team unity, would use his status as captain, or perhaps his influence,
to persuade Instructor Li Qiongtian to help him out.
He wanted help to avoid becoming one of the four students eliminated from the Tianya Academy team.
And as this student finished speaking,
the other three who had approached also gathered around, looking at Zhang Yi expectantly.
To be honest, Zhang Yi truly hadn’t expected that even now, with the second round of the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp about to end,
there would still be such an idiot!
And what’s more, an idiot who was trying to use moral blackmail to get his help.
’Doesn’t he know that I never give in to moral blackmail?!’
Zhang Yi looked at the student before him, at the pleading and anticipation in his eyes, and the other emotions hidden beneath the moral blackmail.
His gaze swept over the other three students who had come with him,
and the way the four of them had formed a posture of joint moral blackmail.
The good mood Zhang Yi had felt because the assessment results were being announced today was instantly destroyed by this ugly scene!
A flicker of coldness, almost imperceptible, appeared in Zhang Yi’s eyes.
While Zhang Yi could certainly understand their anxiety from being on the verge of elimination,
it didn’t mean he sympathized with them.
On the contrary, he looked down on people like them the most.
And so, the scene fell into a cold silence.
Zhang Yi didn’t speak right away.
Nor did he answer them immediately.
His silence instantly made the surrounding atmosphere feel stagnant.
But at the same time, it also drew the gazes of the other students in the small training camp who weren’t involved.
Lu Mei, who had arrived later, also turned her gaze toward Zhang Yi.
The student who had spoken first, a young man named Sun Hao, began to break out in small beads of sweat on his forehead.
A full minute passed before Zhang Yi slowly began to speak.
