Chapter 211: Chapter 188: Donghuang Province, the Provincial Exam; Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress

While Zhang Yi and Hong Tianyi’s gazes were fixed on the red-haired girl, Wan Hua and Huang Yingtian’s were focused on the provocative stares from students of other schools. However, their chaperone teacher hadn’t given any orders, and since they were new and unfamiliar with the place, they didn’t dare to actively start any trouble.

Just as these undercurrents swirled among the students from different schools, the specialized ship provided by the University Alliance Training Camp arrived at its destination. An official from the training camp entered the vessel.

"Welcome, students of the University Alliance Training Camp, to the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress!" he announced. "Next, please gather behind your school’s chaperone teacher and follow me to the designated location."

The guide, an official from the University Alliance Training Camp, was tall and thin, wearing black-rimmed glasses and possessing a scholarly appearance. But as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the entire vessel shifted. The tense, anxious mood that had filled the students was instantly replaced by a wave of heartfelt excitement.

All the students immediately focused their Heart Spirits. Without needing to be told, they each fell in line behind their chaperone teachers.

On Zhang Yi’s side, the group exchanged a look and then followed their chaperone, Teacher Xu Yiweng.

Their chaperone, Teacher Xu Yiweng, was concise and to the point. "Pay attention. It’s very likely the assessment has already begun. There might even be instructors observing you right now!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi, Wan Hua, Hong Tianyi, and Huang Yingtian cleared their minds of distracting thoughts and followed the teacher. However, before falling into formation and composing his expression, Zhang Yi specifically glanced over at the red-haired girl’s squad. Her face was calm, as if the small incident from before had never happened.

"Chaperone teachers and students from all schools, please follow me." The tall, thin official pushed up his glasses, a formulaic smile on his face, and walked out of the vessel.

The ship’s hatch opened silently. A gust of air, different from the recycled air inside the ship, instantly rushed into the cabin. The air, tinged with the Energy of Subspace, wafted in.

The sight that greeted them brought a huge surprise to Zhang Yi and the other students! The spaceport where the ship had landed was not a flat, expansive platform as they had expected. Their ship was docked right in front of massive military installations that stretched as far as the eye could see! They were surrounded by all sorts of enormous military facilities they had never seen before!

Giant cannon barrels stood like mountain peaks, engraved with complex runic Magic circuits. Countless small aircraft zipped back and forth along fixed routes like busy worker bees. Farther away, the dormant silhouettes of colossal warship cannons loomed like mountain ranges of steel!

This didn’t look like the site of the University Alliance Training Camp at all. It was more like a highly fortified military fortress on the brink of war!

At that moment, Zhang Yi suddenly had a realization. How could they think about the ship’s landing site in such an ordinary way? After all, they had already entered the Yanhuang Federation’s First War Fortress!

Zhang Yi’s grandfather, Zhang Shumo, had mostly told him about the importance of securing a spot and the potential assessments he would face after entering. He had barely mentioned what the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress looked like, which was why even Zhang Yi was stunned when he first saw it!

"The Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress..." a student murmured, their voice filled with shock.

Positioned between Subspace and the Main World, the War Fortress acted as a stabilizing linchpin, monitoring Subspace. It was the foremost bulwark of the Blue Star Federation’s weapon arsenal and one of its most powerful symbols of might!

The tall, thin official seemed accustomed to the students’ shocked reactions and explained in a flat tone, "Welcome, everyone, to Internal Reception Platform Seven of the Yanhuang Federation First War Fortress. Other students from different provinces will be landing at different internal reception platforms. You will not see them until after the provincial exam is over."

"Furthermore, the base for the University Alliance Training Camp is not located on the Main World plane. On the contrary, a significant portion of the testing environments are in Subspace. So, don’t be surprised by the scenes you might witness shortly!"

The official’s meaningful words made many students’ hearts tighten.

Guided by the official, the group walked silently through a wide Metal corridor. But after they passed through the first large gate, the situation immediately changed! The previous room had heavy armored walls covered with indicator lights and maintenance hatches, but the next one was a scene from a Primordial Forest, complete with birds, beasts, and even giant pythons. With every enclosed Space they passed through, the scenery changed.

This was the might of Subspace!

After passing through a dozen or so rooms and witnessing a dozen different scenes from Subspace, Zhang Yi and the others finally arrived outside a building that resembled a school.

"Inside here is where you will be living for quite a long time!" The tall, thin official stopped and turned to face the teachers and students following him. "Don’t be fooled by its school-like exterior. The inside is filled with training equipment specially prepared for you. Here, you will undergo a month of training."

"After one month, some of you will leave and return to your schools to continue your studies, while others will pass the preliminary assessment and enter a longer period of observation during the Late Stage! Remember, from the moment you step into this University Alliance Training Camp, your every action is under observation! Your every assessment, your every choice, will be recorded and used as part of the basis for the subsequent selection rounds!"

After saying this, the tall, thin official scanned the crowd below, making sure every student had taken his words to heart before continuing, "After competing against your entire school and region, I would hate to see you get eliminated over some trivial matter. Now, I need the chaperone teachers from each school to follow me elsewhere to register their students."

"The specific rules of the training camp, as well as the upcoming assessments, will be sent to your personal terminals. You will find your personal terminals already placed in your respective rooms. Once you enter the training camp, follow the signs, and you will find your rooms."

With that, the tall, thin official stepped aside, gesturing for the students to enter the training camp while the teachers were to go with him.

Hearing the official’s words, the teachers from each school, who were already mentally prepared, hurried to their students’ sides to give them some final instructions. Teacher Xu Yiweng from Golden City No.1 Middle School was no exception.

He looked at Zhang Yi, Hong Tianyi, Wan Hua, and Huang Yingtian, his expression serious as he spoke, "You only get one chance to enter the University Alliance Training Camp! If you are eliminated in the first round of the provincial exam, no matter how well you perform after returning to your school, you will never receive another invitation to the University Alliance Training Camp! Therefore, you must put your whole heart and soul into tackling this first assessment!"

"If you run into any trouble you can handle, help each other out as students from the same school. If you can’t, go find an official. Remember, you all come from the same school. You are each other’s natural allies in the beginning!"

...

"And last but not least, be cautious in your words and actions! Tread carefully!"

Hearing Teacher Xu Yiweng’s instructions, the four of them, including Zhang Yi, nodded in unison.

After the teachers from the various schools left with the official, the only ones remaining were the students from different schools in the areas surrounding Golden City.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yi, Wan Hua, Hong Tianyi, and Huang Yingtian walked through the gates of the University Alliance Training Camp!

When the four of them stepped unhesitatingly through the training camp gates, they were surprised to find that the interior was not decorated like a school. Instead, it was an entire space filled with a sense of high technology!

"So this is the University Alliance Training Camp?" Wan Hua murmured in admiration, his eyes full of curiosity.

However, before they had time to admire the unexpected scenery, Zhang Yi suggested that the four of them first follow the signs to their rooms and get their personal terminals. After all, based on what the official had said, these terminals would be their only means of receiving information and communicating with the outside world from now on.

Hearing Zhang Yi’s words, the other three all nodded in agreement. Evidently, they already saw Zhang Yi, who had ranked first in strength during the final exams, as their leader.

And so, Zhang Yi effortlessly obtained the temporary role of Conductor for this four-person squad.
