Chapter 501: Chapter 321: Exchange Competition Location, A Choice of Three; Blood Ranch, Inner Earth World, Knight Continent
...
In the command center of the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship,
Vice Admiral Qin Rui sat in his chair, sipping from a teacup as he watched the monitor.
Whether it was the sounds from inside the student cafeteria or those from outside, Vice Admiral Qin Rui heard it all.
After he finished watching and listening to the conflict between Elias of the White Eagle Federation and Zhang Yi,
especially the part where Zhang Yi had so casually neutralized the pressure of Elias’s Divine Power,
an unconcealed smile spread across Vice Admiral Qin Rui’s face.
"He tried to use the Divine Power of a Ninth Transformation Demigod to force another student to his knees."
"But he tried to be clever and it backfired spectacularly."
"He got suppressed instead, all wound up with nowhere to vent his anger."
"Haha, well done, Zhang Yi!"
Vice Admiral Qin Rui laughed.
"As expected of Marshal Zhang’s grandson. He was raised to be outstanding!"
"If only my son could be this exceptional!"
"Sigh..."
After watching the entire incident, Vice Admiral Qin Rui summoned Colonel Zhao Feng.
He then had the colonel watch the corresponding video footage.
"What do you think of their performance?"
Vice Admiral Qin Rui asked.
Colonel Zhao Feng first carefully observed the Vice Admiral’s expression, but he couldn’t discern anything unusual from his face.
This immediately sent him deep into thought.
’Since Vice Admiral Qin Rui summoned me, this must not be a trivial matter.’
’Otherwise, there would have been no need to call me here.’
’Calling me here must mean he’s preparing to handle this situation.’
’But how should it be handled?’
Colonel Zhao Feng wasn’t foolish enough to consider punishing both students equally.
This wasn’t the time to simply smooth things over.
Thinking about Vice Admiral Qin Rui’s background, and the powerful figure backing him,
and then thinking about the surname of one of the two students,
Colonel Zhao Feng immediately had an idea.
"I believe we should issue a severe warning to the student who initiated the provocation!"
As he said this, Colonel Zhao Feng glanced up at Vice Admiral Qin Rui.
Seeing no expression of disgust or opposition on the Vice Admiral’s face, he continued.
"On their very first day aboard the warship, they were informed by their instructors that infighting was forbidden."
"Yet the student who started the provocation not only repeatedly tested the limits of the rules, but even unleashed his Divine Power, preparing to strike another student."
"For a student who walks the line and challenges the rules like this, even if we can’t bring down the hammer on him, we must give him a harsh warning!"
"Otherwise, no one will take the rules of the University Alliance Training Camp seriously in the future."
"Mm."
After hearing Colonel Zhao Feng’s response,
Vice Admiral Qin Rui nodded slightly.
"Good. Handle it that way. Just send them a message."
"If that student makes another move that pushes the boundaries of the rules, you can inform him that he’s been eliminated!"
"Understood!"
Colonel Zhao Feng immediately saluted.
...
「At noon on the second day aboard the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship,」
at twelve o’clock sharp, all the students on the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship received a message from their respective instructors.
"All students, please take note: assemble today at 2:00 PM in the multi-purpose training field on the third deck of the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship."
"At that time, Vice Admiral Qin Rui will be organizing the first step of the University Alliance Training Camp’s third-round exchange competition."
"All students are to attend on time. Please remind your companions."
And so, at 2:00 PM on the second day aboard the ship,
all the students from the Five Major Federations arrived at the multi-purpose training field on the third deck of the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship.
In the multi-purpose training field on the third deck of the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship, a massive track stretched out in the distance.
At the end of the track,
stood three pillars.
An orb of light rested atop each of the three pillars, shining brilliantly and catching the eye.
However, the 210 students only gave the track a brief glance before turning their attention to a temporary podium that had been set up.
Vice Admiral Qin Rui was already standing there, followed by the lead instructors from their respective federations.
Chief Instructor Yang was among them.
Zhang Yi gave him a second look.
Seeing that all the students were ready, Vice Admiral Qin Rui got straight to the point.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship. I am the supreme commander of this vessel, Vice Admiral Qin Rui!"
"Before we officially begin the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp’s exchange competition,
I have a rather difficult choice that you must make for yourselves."
Vice Admiral Qin Rui pointed toward the distant track.
"Do you see that 500-meter track in the distance, and the orbs of light on the three Crystal Pillars at its end?"
"Those three orbs of light each represent the coordinates to a world and its corresponding mission."
As Vice Admiral Qin Rui spoke,
a projection of text materialized above each orb.
The leftmost orb: Blood Ranch.
World Introduction: This is a world ruled by a Ninth Transformation Vampire Demigod. Aside from the Vampire Clan, all other clans are treated as blood bags for the Vampires. In this world, the art of blood-brewing has reached its zenith; vampirism is no longer simply about satiating hunger.
