Chapter 453: Chapter 298: The Training Holy Land: Starfire Training Ground; No. 1, Customized House
"I’ll be waiting for you in the hall of the smaller training camp in an hour."
After speaking, Instructor Li Qiongtian teleported Zhang Yi and the others back.
Upon returning to the smaller training camp, Zhang Yi and the other four wasted no time, each heading back to their own room. Zhang Yi didn’t have many belongings. Aside from his clothes and some personal toiletries, his most important Divine Domain Cards were all stored in his Divine Realm, which he carried with him. So, Zhang Yi packed up quickly. In less than ten minutes, he had finished gathering the things he needed to bring.
Once he was packed, Zhang Yi didn’t rush to leave his room. Instead, he sat in his favorite spot and quickly began planning his next steps.
First and foremost, strength is the most important thing!
After moving, the first thing I need to do is load the two Divine Domain Cards I’m eligible for in June.
Second, I have to demonstrate sufficient strength and leadership during this month’s training.
Forget all that nonsense about revealing your edge too early and getting cut down, or becoming a target for everyone.
With the backing of a Powerful Divine Being, Zhang Yi wasn’t afraid of anyone when it came to connections! It would be the others who would be left scrambling in a panic.
And finally, I’ll rely on my strength to openly and fairly compete for the position of General Captain!
In his mind, Zhang Yi laid out a clear plan for the coming month.
"One step at a time!"
Zhang Yi took a deep breath. The confusion in his eyes vanished, replaced by resolve and clarity.
An hour later, all five members of the Tianya Academy team appeared on time in the hall of the smaller training camp.
Instructor Li Qiongtian appeared in a flash. Seeing that all five were present, he said nothing more and led them back through a portal to the Starry Hall.
Returning to the Starry Hall again today, it was different from the last time. This time, everyone was arranged in neat formations. When the time announced by Chief Instructor Yang arrived, he appeared once again on the T-shaped stage.
Chief Instructor Yang operated a console, and a new message popped up on the personal terminals of Zhang Yi and every other cadet.
"The message sent to you is a partial internal map of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress," he announced. "I have already blocked off important areas and places that you do not have the clearance to access. What you see now are all the areas you are permitted to know about."
Zhang Yi opened his personal terminal and clicked on the new message from Chief Instructor Yang. A detailed, three-dimensional internal map of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress appeared before him.
He first looked for a familiar location: the Starry Hall where they were currently standing. The Starry Hall was located in the middle layer of the map, near the core area, and was displayed in blue. Zhang Yi then looked toward the outer section of the map. There, in the vast building complex on the fortress’s periphery, he found the location used for the provincial exam. That area, the former site of the provincial exam, was shown in light gray on the map and was clearly not as important as the zone containing the Starry Hall.
As for the place where Zhang Yi had stayed during his previous two Yanhuang Federation assessments, it was situated between the provincial exam area and the Starry Hall.
In other words, from the time Zhang Yi received his invitation to join the University Alliance Training Camp up to this very moment, the Starry Hall he was in today was the closest he had ever been to the core area of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress.
Moreover, looking at it from a more macroscopic perspective, Zhang Yi realized that since arriving at the University Alliance Training Camp, all the areas he had been active in combined didn’t even amount to one-tenth of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress. It wasn’t even one percent! Furthermore, his activities were concentrated in the middle and outer layers of the fortress. He had never once set foot in the red-marked core area.
Worthy of its reputation as the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress, rumored to be larger than a world! Zhang Yi was inwardly speechless and slightly shocked.
Before he could process his awe, Chief Instructor Yang’s voice rang out again.
"You can study the map later. Now, please follow me to the place where you will be staying for the next month."
Because the interior of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress was so vast, it would likely take several days to reach their destination on foot. Thus, Chief Instructor Yang once again used teleportation to lead Zhang Yi and the others to the new area.
A white light flashed, and they arrived. In an instant, the world spun! It wasn’t dizziness, but a peculiar sensation of being shuttled through space. Clearly, Chief Instructor Yang was highly proficient in spatial teleportation.
When Zhang Yi’s feet once again touched solid ground, the sight before him made his pupils contract!
At this moment, it seemed they were no longer inside the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress, but on its highest level, beneath a starry sky! Looking up, he saw no ceiling, only a vast and brilliant Star River! Underfoot was a seemingly endless floor made of some kind of polished black rock. The floor’s edges were invisible, shrouded in mist.
In the center of this area floated several semi-transparent spheres of varying sizes. Inside each sphere was a different type of terrain and topography. There was the most common grassland terrain, rare desert and snowfield terrains, and even an exceptionally rare aerial arena!
These were the very arenas provided by the University Alliance Training Camp for the divine battles he had participated in before! And here they were, shrunk down and visible to the naked eye!
Furthermore, all sorts of strange and oddly shaped training equipment were placed around the area, such as a gravity-adjustment field, a Law-confrontation field, and a combat puppet field. The air was filled with a type of Energy so dense it had almost turned into a mist. It seemed to be a mixture of Magic Power, Star Force, and the Power of Laws. With every breath, Zhang Yi could feel his Divine Power expanding!
Is this really the place where I’ll be living for the next month?!
"This is Area 03 of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress, a super training sanctuary built for the Yanhuang Federation’s most elite geniuses, integrating living, training, cultivation, and simulation—the Starfire Training Ground!
"All cadets may proceed to their respective living quarters based on the information sent to your personal terminals.
"The doors to your residences have already been bound to your personal information.
"Assemble here tomorrow morning at seven o’clock sharp. At that time, I will arrange the corresponding training programs!
"Understood?"
Empowered by his Divine Power, Chief Instructor Yang’s voice echoed throughout the entire area.
Zhang Yi looked at his personal terminal, at the message indicating his assigned residence. It was the villa he had noticed at the very front of the residential area—No. 1!
No. 1!
It was located at the very front of the residential area, directly facing the simulation fields, offering an excellent view. But at the same time, it was also the most conspicuous spot!
Zhang Yi looked up and could easily see the three-story villa constructed purely from verdant Divine Wood! The villa was no simple wooden cabin. The branches of the Divine Wood were gnarled like coiled dragons, and the naturally formed beams, walls, and furniture all exuded a dense aura of Nature, which perfectly suited his Natural Divine Position!
Behind Zhang Yi’s house, the number-two ranked residence appeared to be a villa built from some kind of unknown stone. The natural patterns on the rock’s surface gave off an indestructible aura of the Earth!
As for the number-three house, it was constructed from ice, snow, and beast bones. The surface of the building was covered in ice and snow that didn’t melt at room temperature. A specimen made from a Magical Beast’s corpse was even hanging by the door. The entire structure exuded a thick, primal wildness!
Zhang Yi’s gaze quickly swept over the other houses, finding that they too each had their own unique characteristics.
Combining this with his mental assessment of the other cadets, the corners of Zhang Yi’s mouth curled up unconsciously.
Looks like these rooms are custom-made! Does this imply that, in Chief Instructor Yang’s eyes, my strength is the greatest?!
Zhang Yi gazed at his house at the very front of all the residences and couldn’t help but speculate. His anticipation for the next month of training grew even stronger!
Then, Zhang Yi strode toward the unique house at the very forefront of all the residences
