Chapter 454: Chapter 299: Loading the Artificial Wonder [Sky Garden] and the Five-Star Divine Domain Card [A Section of the Moon Ancient Tree]
When they saw Zhang Yi walking toward the house at the very front, Gu Yun and Tuoba Yu both stopped in their tracks, their gazes hardening in unison.
For the first time since entering the Starry Hall, an uncontrollable expression appeared on Gu Yun’s perpetually calm and calculating face. He gazed at the three-story villa at the head of the row, which radiated a dense aura of Nature. Then he glanced back at his own house, built from rock and imbued with the Law of Earth, a flicker of barely perceptible sharpness flashing in his eyes.
Geniuses are all proud. Even if it wasn’t said outright, Gu Yun was still extremely displeased by this method of displaying their ranks through the order of their houses.
After the second round of the Yanhuang Federation’s assessment, Gu Yun had placed second with a total score closest to Zhang Yi’s. But even so, there was still a forty-point gap between them.
However, Gu Yun himself didn’t know that. Based on the information he had gathered today, all he knew was that Zhang Yi was first and he was second. In that case, he couldn’t be that far behind Zhang Yi in his mind; the gap between them might even be a single point. Thus, the pride hidden deep in his heart was stirred.
Natural Divine Position, a Top Level Divine Position! Is it really so uniquely favored, so blessed by heaven? Gu Yun thought silently.
But his expression quickly returned to normal.
A residence is merely a worldly possession, something temporary. What’s truly important is the upcoming competition for the Grand Captain position. Zhang Yi, I hope you don’t disappoint me!
Compared to Gu Yun’s restraint, Tuoba Yu’s behavior was much more direct. He raised an eyebrow, watching Zhang Yi walk into the villa at the very front before looking at his own residence, ranked behind both Zhang Yi and Gu Yun.
Tuoba Yu grinned, baring his white teeth. His smile held both unconcealed amusement and a clear fighting spirit.
"One is first place, one is second place, and I’m stuck in third?" Tuoba Yu muttered, but he made sure it was loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. "In what way am I, Tuoba Yu, inferior? When we compete for the Grand Captain position at the end of the month, I’ll get to see just what kind of people can rank ahead of me. I hope my opponents’ strength won’t disappoint me too much then!"
After speaking, Tuoba Yu let out a heavy snort, then returned to his third-ranked room.
The other students clearly saw both of their reactions. Members of the same squad exchanged knowing glances.
The juiciest piece of gossip in the Starfire Training Ground has just dropped!
Just like that, Zhang Yi, the number one student, was thrust into the spotlight, becoming the primary target for Gu Yun and Tuoba Yu’s challenges.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yi, who had already entered his room and closed the door, was unaware of the commotion outside. Or rather, it wasn’t that he was unaware, but that he couldn’t be bothered to care.
A tall tree catches the wind.
Since he had chosen to stand out and take first place, Zhang Yi was already prepared for such gossip. In the Blue Star Federation, strength was ultimately what mattered.
Entering his exclusive house, Zhang Yi first familiarized himself with it. The first floor contained the kitchen and living room, the second floor was the living quarters, and the third floor was a huge open-air garden. When Zhang Yi got tired from his cultivation, he could head up to the third floor to relax.
Looking up, he could see the brilliant Star River. Looking down, he could take in the entire Starfire Training Ground, from the other students’ residences to the distant simulated battlefields. The view was superb.
"A great spot," Zhang Yi nodded. The environment here would be a great help, whether for consolidating his Natural Divine Position, cultivating Divine Arts, or his daily Meditation.
Zhang Yi went up to the third floor, walked to the edge of the open-air garden, and leaned on the railing to survey the scene. Taking this opportunity, he watched as the other students settled into their own private houses.
Lu Mei was in house number six, which was shaped like a furiously burning tower. Just then, Lu Mei also appeared on the roof of her house to take in the view. Her eyes met Zhang Yi’s, and they shared a look.
Hong Tianyi’s house was number seventeen. It looked like a Dragon Nest, which was also quite distinctive.
Fifty private, custom-made houses of different styles. Fifty genius students with different personalities. They were about to spend the next month together in the Starfire Training Ground.
After familiarizing himself with the surroundings from the vantage point of his third-floor garden, Zhang Yi returned to his bedroom on the second floor and entered the Divine Domain Connection Pod.
Time is short. I’ll take care of the most important things first. I need to load the two Divine Domain Cards available for June!
With this thought, Zhang Yi’s consciousness returned to his Divine Realm.
[Connecting to the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net...]
[Identity Verified...]
[Consciousness descending into your Divine Realm...]
[Welcome, great God of Nature, to your Divine Realm!]
After arriving in the Divine Realm, Zhang Yi didn’t disturb Elf Architecture Master Alvin and Dwarf Architectural Master Tongxu Tiewu. They had already traveled to the western part of the Divine Realm to survey the terrain, preparing to construct the Five-star Artificial Wonder, the [Great Wall of China].
He also left Goblin Great Sage Norton and his team undisturbed. After the last War, they had identified shortcomings in the Goblin Mechas and Dwarf Tanks and were now busy making modifications.
