Chapter 444: Chapter 295: Relationship Breakthrough, a Passionate, Fiery Kiss
Two days had passed since the end of all the second-round assessments of the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp. So when the official members of the Tianya Academy team gathered again in the small training camp hall, the atmosphere was completely different from the day before.
Zhang Yi, Hong Tianyi, Lu Mei, Zhao Wenjie, and Zhou Zongcheng—the five who had successfully advanced to the third round—had gathered early in the hall after receiving a message from Instructor Li Qiongtian this morning. At this moment, all five of them wore expressions of anticipation and excitement as they chatted in low voices.
"You guys have no idea, do you?" Hong Tianyi looked at Zhang Yi, Zhao Wenjie, and the others, excitedly telling them about his gains from yesterday. "After getting the rewards and going back to my room yesterday, the very first thing I did was use my privileges to redeem a Five-star Divine Domain Card!"
After all, no matter how great his gains were, it was no fun if he couldn’t share the news. Besides, just knowing about a Miracle wouldn’t cause him to lose on the battlefield. So, Hong Tianyi wasn’t worried in the slightest as he cheerfully recounted his actions from the previous day.
"After redeeming the Divine Domain Card, I immediately used it on the Red Dragon corpse I acquired and created the Five-star Artificial Wonder, the [Dragon Transformation Pool]! After using it, the original Kobold Warriors in my Divine Realm have now successfully been promoted to Half-Dragon Warriors! The original Kobold Mages in my Divine Realm have also become Dragon Descendant Mages! You could say my strength has increased immensely! Hahahaha!" As he spoke, Hong Tianyi couldn’t help but laugh, as if picturing the scene in his mind.
Zhao Wenjie and Zhou Zongcheng, who were slightly weaker than Hong Tianyi, were quick to play along and offer their praise.
"Congratulations, Brother Yi!" Zhao Wenjie exclaimed in admiration. "Half-Dragon Warriors and Dragon Descendant Mages... that’s more than just a small power boost!"
"Yeah! Brother Yi!" Zhou Zongcheng chimed in. "The Five-star Artificial Wonder, the [Dragon Transformation Pool]! Just the name sounds formidable. The effect must be just as impressive!"
Although Zhou Zongcheng’s Clan was the Amphibian Frogman, and their evolutionary path was quite different from that of the Kobolds, he still looked at Hong Tianyi with an expression of envy.
Hearing the praise from Zhao Wenjie and Zhou Zongcheng, Hong Tianyi quickly waved his hands dismissively. "No need, no need! Don’t call me Brother Yi! The real big bro is actually my Brother Zhang!"
As soon as Hong Tianyi said this, the other three members of the Tianya Academy team all turned to look at Zhang Yi. But Hong Tianyi, still oblivious, continued with a sincere expression, "Our captain is the big bro I’ve looked up to ever since the provincial exams! And my bond with big bro was first forged..."
As he spoke, Hong Tianyi became more and more enthusiastic, trying to get the "big bro" he so admired—Zhang Yi—to say a few words as well.
When they saw that the "big bro" Hong Tianyi was talking about was their own captain, Zhao Wenjie and Zhou Zongcheng quickly changed their tune. As for Zhang Yi himself, he wasn’t particularly fond of the title, saying it wasn’t necessary. But after some back and forth, the title of "big bro" was nonetheless settled on Zhang Yi, the captain of Tianya Academy.
After all, the students still on the teams that had passed the second-round selection had more or less guessed that the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp would very likely be a team-based competition. Otherwise, why would the main purpose of the first two rounds be to form and select outstanding teams to enter the third round? Under these circumstances, it was self-evident just how much authority Zhang Yi, as the squad captain, would wield when the time came.
Therefore, after the second-round assessment had concluded, Zhang Yi’s status had not only failed to decline but had actually earned him even more respect from the other members of the Tianya Academy team. Even Lu Mei, the second strongest on the team, was outwardly very respectful toward him.
Otherwise, if Lu Mei had shown any sign of dissent, she’d have gotten her backside spanked that night. Of course, that’s referring to a spanking from Zhang Yi’s hand—nothing else, so don’t get the wrong idea!
In that time, Zhang Yi and Lu Mei’s relationship had also progressed. They were already on such good terms that they had exchanged fingerprints, giving each other access to their rooms. However, although their relationship had made great strides, they had yet to take the final step. They were still in the middle of training at the University Alliance Training Camp, after all. Lacking neither potential nor backing, both Zhang Yi and Lu Mei were very clear about their priorities.
Even so, they had already shared pinky swears, held hands, and even kissed. As for their first kiss, it had happened very recently—just this morning, in fact.
Zhang Yi recalled the events of that morning. Yesterday, after spending 18,500,000 Wealth Faith Value on the Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Card, he had checked his remaining 1,500,000. Adding in the monthly allowance from his parents and the funds he had saved, his balance now exceeded 50,000,000 Wealth Faith Value. So, he took a small portion of it, carefully selected, and purchased a Fire Attribute Five-Star Divine Domain Card that would also be useful for Lu Mei in cultivating her Clan.
