Chapter 438: Chapter 291: Another Reward: The Baptism of the Subspace Origin! An Audience with Chief Instructor Yang
As for the other two, Zhao Meng and Wan Chongying left directly after hearing Instructor Li Qiongtian’s words, without a backward glance.
In fact, their departure was relatively dignified, a stark contrast to Wan Zhixuan, who had been forced to leave a month ago. His Clan in his Divine Realm had suffered such heavy losses that he was unable to continue fighting. Their departure, accompanied by Instructor Li Qiongtian’s blessing, could certainly be considered dignified!
With the four eliminated members of the Tianya Academy team gone, only five people remained in the hall: Zhang Yi, Lu Mei, Hong Tianyi, Zhao Wenjie, and Zhou Zongcheng.
With only the five of them left, the atmosphere instantly changed. They all felt the joy of being fellow Promoters, the anticipation for the future, and a subtle sense of competition among them. They also sensed that Instructor Li Qiongtian was setting the stage to keep them for another conversation.
Instructor Li Qiongtian looked at the five who had officially entered the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp assessment, a joyful smile blooming on his face.
"First of all, congratulations to the five of you for officially advancing to the next round of the University Alliance Training Camp!"
The five of them, including Zhang Yi, felt their spirits lift.
"In addition to the rewards announced earlier, as a bonus for entering the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp, you will receive an extra reward!" Instructor Li Qiongtian paused, observing the shocked and pleasantly surprised expressions on their faces. "You will once again receive a baptism from the Subspace Origin!"
"What!" Hong Tianyi was the first to react, crying out in astonishment. But immediately after, the faces of Zhang Yi, Lu Mei, Zhao Wenjie, and Zhou Zongcheng also showed incredible joy.
Seeing an expression other than calmness finally appear on Zhang Yi’s face, Instructor Li Qiongtian felt a sense of joy akin to a successful prank. However, Zhang Yi didn’t notice the subtle expression on the instructor’s face at that moment.
If Instructor Li Qiongtian’s joy from one successful prank could be traded for a chance to receive the baptism of the Subspace Origin, I wouldn’t mind playing along with his act. But obviously, that’s impossible.
After spending so much time at the University Alliance Training Camp and having gone through the first and second rounds of the Yanhuang Federation’s assessment, the five remaining official members of the Tianya Academy team were no longer the rookies they once were. They were well aware of the benefits a baptism from the Subspace Origin could bring. They had received such a baptism once before, after the first round of the Yanhuang Federation’s assessment, and it had brought great enhancements to their Divine Realms and Clans. Although they had hoped for a second chance, neither Instructor Li Qiongtian nor Chief Instructor Yang had ever mentioned it again, so they had gradually forgotten about it. To have it brought up again today by Instructor Li Qiongtian naturally made them all incomparably happy!
"This is too precious!" Zhou Zongcheng’s voice trembled slightly.
"It was worth it! This was so worth it!" Zhao Wenjie was also extremely excited. As for Hong Tianyi and Lu Mei, it went without saying that they were just as thrilled.
Even Zhang Yi began to contemplate. How much can my Divine Realm expand this time? And should I take this opportunity to create the Elemental Plane? After a moment of thought, he gave up on the idea. After all, I still haven’t collected any Divine Domain Cards related to Elemental Life. However, this reward could be used to collect them.
Seeing their incredibly excited expressions, Instructor Li Qiongtian gave them some time to calm themselves. Only then did he continue, "The rules for receiving the baptism from the Subspace Origin are the same as last time. The higher-ranked students will receive a larger quantity, and the lower-ranked students will receive a smaller quantity."
Hearing this, Zhang Yi and the others nodded in agreement. The rule was fair.
"As for the time of the Subspace Origin infusion, it will be tomorrow afternoon," Instructor Li Qiongtian continued. "I will send the specific details to your personal terminals, so remember to check them. As for now..." His gaze fell once again on Zhang Yi. "Zhang Yi!"
"Sir!" Although he didn’t know what was happening, Zhang Yi answered first, then stepped forward out of the line.
Instructor Li Qiongtian watched Zhang Yi step out of line and said in a voice loud and clear enough for every student present to hear, "Chief Instructor Yang has specifically asked to see you. The meeting is set for eight o’clock tonight, in his office."
The moment Instructor Li Qiongtian’s words fell, the expressions of the other four members, who had been immersed in the joy of the Subspace Origin baptism reward, suddenly froze. They all realized at the same time that from the end of the provincial assessment to the end of the Yanhuang Federation’s second assessment, Chief Instructor Yang had never once requested a private meeting with a single student.
This isn’t the treatment of an ordinary student!
Hearing this news, Hong Tianyi’s jaw dropped as he stared at Zhang Yi. Lu Mei stared intently at Zhang Yi’s back. Just what other great feats can the man I’ve set my sights on accomplish? As for Zhao Wenjie and Zhou Zongcheng, their eyes were filled with shock and admiration. They simply couldn’t imagine what Chief Instructor Yang would want to discuss with Zhang Yi in a private meeting.
A ripple went through Zhang Yi’s heart as well, but having seen his fair share of the world, he quickly composed his expression. "Yes, Instructor. I will be ready!" he replied. At the same time, he was reminded of the other matter he had planned to entrust to Instructor Li Qiongtian.
Instructor Li Qiongtian seemed quite satisfied with Zhang Yi’s composed and timely response. However, after hearing his words, the instructor hesitated for a moment before saying, "Forget it. I’ll come by your room at seven o’clock tonight instead. I’ll take you to Chief Instructor Yang’s office then." It seemed Instructor Li Qiongtian was still a little worried.
"Alright, Instructor Li!" Zhang Yi readily agreed without protest. This was for the best, as he really didn’t know where Chief Instructor Yang’s office was, nor did he have the authorization to leave this area. Having Instructor Li Qiongtian personally lead the way couldn’t be better. Moreover, he could use this opportunity to tell the instructor about the sabotaged and damaged Upper Class Semi-Divine Artifact—the Plane Teleportation Gate. This saved him the trouble of having to request a separate meeting.
"Alright, that’s all I have to say for now," Instructor Li Qiongtian said, waving his hand. "I’ll have more specifics after I’ve asked Chief Instructor Yang.
"However, there is one thing I can confirm. After the Yanhuang Federation’s second assessment at the University Alliance Training Camp ends, and before we participate in an assessment alongside the geniuses from other regions of the Blue Star Federation, there will be a relatively long rest period.
"In other words, this is another golden opportunity to pull ahead of the competition! Don’t you dare use the rest time for actual resting.
"Now, dismiss!"
Zhang Yi and the other four replied in unison, "Yes, Instructor!"
Instructor Li Qiongtian nodded, and then with a flash, his figure vanished from the small training camp’s hall.
The moment Instructor Li Qiongtian left, the atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed. The excitement and restlessness that had been suppressed by his presence—a feeling that had built up since they learned they had passed the assessment—was finally unleashed.
Hong Tianyi was the first to approach, his face filled with unconcealable joy and a sense of shared glory. "Brother Zhang! Being summoned for a private meeting by Chief Instructor Yang! What a huge honor!"
As expected of the big brother I follow!
Zhao Wenjie and Zhou Zongcheng also crowded around, their eyes eager. "Congratulations, Captain!" they said sincerely.
Even Lu Mei took a few steps forward and congratulated him in her cool, clear voice, "Congratulations."
Zhang Yi responded to everyone’s congratulations one by one with a humble attitude. The students who have made it this far are all exceptionally talented. Perhaps in a few tens of thousands of years, they could become pillars of the Blue Star Federation. By then, they would all be part of my network. For this reason, he did not refuse their goodwill.
After quite some time, the conversation about congratulating Zhang Yi and discussing the Subspace Origin baptism finally came to a close. Only then did the official members of the Tianya Academy team disperse and return to their rooms.
