Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God

Chapter 504: Chapter 322: Obtaining News of a Hidden Mission, Determining the Venue for the University Alliance Training and the Third Round Exchange Competition

At the starting line, he saw the students who would compete with him for the Xuanwu-III Type Integrated Warship and ultimately travel to the mission worlds.

Zhang Yi scanned the expressions and the look in the eyes of the other four student representatives who had joined him.

Elias, the student representative from the White Eagle Federation, had his eyes fixed on the orb of light on the far left. Clearly, he also knew which mission world offered him the greatest advantage.

Meanwhile, Andre from the Giant Bear Federation grinned and rolled his shoulders. His gaze shifted between the three orbs of light before ultimately settling on the one in the middle. Apparently, his target was the same as Zhang Yi’s.

However, even if Andre’s target is the same, I have no intention of yielding the opportunity to touch the orb to him. After all, it also represents a hidden mission and the advantages that come with its completion.

Although Vice Admiral Qin Rui had yet to announce the final rewards for the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp’s exchange tournament, the rewards that Chief Instructor Yang had mentioned before they left were already incredibly generous. If the rewards from the third round of the University Alliance Training Camp’s exchange tournament are added on top of that, gathering enough resources at once to evolve my Natural Ancient Tree into a Natural Holy Tree and advance the Seed of the Eternal Forest to its youth stage will no longer be a problem!

As for Princess Sofia from the Holy Roman Federation, her expression was calm, revealing no obvious preference. However, as long as she isn’t a fool, she won’t choose the Blood Ranch mission world, which is the most suitable for the student from the White Eagle Federation. Sofia is most likely choosing between the Inner Earth World and the Knight Continent.

As for Harimo from the Third World Federation, he seemed to be leaning toward the Knight Continent. This is likely because the Knight Continent has native inhabitants. The restrictions imposed by its world’s rules would limit the students from the other four federations the most, effectively leveling the playing field for everyone.

Vice Admiral Qin Rui stood on the stage, looking down at the five poised competitors. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he shouted, "Are you all ready?"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Begin!"

Vice Admiral Qin Rui hadn’t even finished speaking, but Divine Power and immense pressure were already circulating within the five students’ bodies.

Vice Admiral Qin Rui had previously stated the rules for the five-hundred-meter race: participants could not kill anyone, inflict irreversible damage on others, or use any equipment or items. They had to rely solely on their own power. But he never said they couldn’t use Divine Arts or Divine Power to create a little trouble, obstructing the other students and slowing their progress.

Zhang Yi and the other four representatives chosen by their respective federations had all clearly understood the subtext in Vice Admiral Qin Rui’s words. Therefore, after the count of "one," and before Vice Admiral Qin Rui shouted "Begin," all five student representatives leaned their bodies slightly forward. Simultaneously, Divine Arts to enhance their physical attributes were readied for release.

The moment the word "Begin" fell, the five student representatives shot forward like arrows loosed from a bow—no, even faster!

At the same time, in addition to self-enhancement Divine Arts, various obstructive techniques were also deployed.

Elias, the Candidate Saint Child from the White Eagle Federation, burst forth with a great radiance of Holy Light. A phantom of six wings appeared behind him, and his speed increased explosively. The violent turbulence he created kicked up dust from the track. He aimed straight for the orb of light on the far left.

Andre also let out a mighty roar as his muscles swelled. The phantom images of a deer, a wolf, and a leopard appeared behind him. Empowered by these animal phantoms, Andre stomped his feet heavily on the ground, bent his knees, and shot forward like a leopard! His target was none other than the Inner Earth World, directly in front of Zhang Yi.

Princess Sofia’s movements were light and graceful, as if she were being assisted by the wind at her feet and back. Princess Sofia needed only to lift a foot to cross a distance of over ten meters in a single step. Clearly, this five-hundred-meter distance was a matter of only a few dozen steps for Princess Sofia.

Harimo from the Third World Federation accelerated like a phantom, his target aimed squarely at the mission world on the far right, the Knight Continent.

The representatives selected by the other four federations were each showing off their unique abilities. So what about Zhang Yi?

Zhang Yi had intentionally started half a step slow. This was no mistake. On the contrary, it was a sign of his extreme confidence in his own strength. He was half a step behind in the first second, but that was to confirm whether his earlier observations of their expressions—and his guesses about which mission worlds they would choose—were correct.

And so, after observing for that first second and confirming his guess was right, by the second second, Zhang Yi had caught up.

In the third second, Zhang Yi released the Ninth Level Divine Technique he had prepared—Entwining Thorns. It snaked out toward the other four student representatives running alongside him.

There was nothing particularly special about this Ninth Level Divine Technique that Zhang Yi cast. If one had to point out something special, it would be that the thorns summoned by this Divine Technique were exceptionally sturdy and incredibly binding. Even for someone like Elias, a fellow Ninth Transformation Demigod, it would take at least two seconds to break free.
