Chapter 230: Chapter 197: The Real Assessment, Investment, Taking Sides, and Battle Teams

After hearing what Instructor Li Qiantian had to say, Zhang Yi finally understood what was going on. From the moment they accepted the invitation from the University Alliance Training Camp, they were bound by a contract, forbidden from revealing any specific details about the camp’s internal affairs. If anyone tried to leak information, they would find themselves physically unable to speak about it. This restriction, of course, was mentioned on the back of the University Alliance Training Camp’s invitation letter.

The key was that this applied to *specific* details. For instance, it was still possible to reveal general information, like how many rounds the assessment had.

This reminded Zhang Yi of what his grandfather had said when he made a special trip home over the New Year to talk to him. Indeed, their conversation had not touched upon any specific details of the University Alliance Training Camp. At the time, Zhang Yi had just assumed his grandfather was extremely confident in his abilities, figuring that with his grandson’s strength, he didn’t need to know such things. But looking back now, it really did seem like his grandfather had been bound by the rules, unable to disclose anything.

But what kind of contract could truly restrain a Powerful Divine Being?

Grandfather probably just chose to abide by it willingly, Zhang Yi thought.

Then, Instructor Li Qiantian began to explain why he had chosen him.

"When the University Alliance Training Camp hires us Weak Divine Beings as instructors, there are benefits for us as well. One of those benefits is that, based on our own strength, we can choose between one and three students to invest in before the provincial assessment ends. If the students we invest in end up going far in the University Alliance Training Camp’s assessments, then we instructors receive a corresponding reward! And your performance in the two arena battles this afternoon immediately caught my eye.

"I believe that with your strength and potential, getting into the final assessment of the University Alliance Training Camp should be no problem at all. However, before making an investment, I need to get the student’s consent. That’s why I’ve come to you.

"So? Do you have any other questions about this?"

"Yes, I do," Zhang Yi nodded. He actually had several questions about this topic.

Li Qiantian, who had only asked out of politeness, hadn’t expected Zhang Yi to actually have questions. After all, according to common social etiquette, shouldn’t Zhang Yi have just said he had none?

The first question Zhang Yi asked struck right at the heart of the matter for Instructor Li Qiantian: "You said that based on an instructor’s strength, the training camp lets you choose one to three students to invest in. So, how many investment slots do you have?"

Instructor Li Qiantian hadn’t expected Zhang Yi’s first question to be so incisive. He froze for a moment, then a flicker of barely perceptible admiration flashed in his eyes. If Zhang Yi hadn’t already shown his intention to accept the invitation and the investment, he would have found Zhang Yi’s questioning to be a major headache. But the thought that Zhang Yi was about to accept his investment, combined with the realization that this sharp Reconnaissance ability would help him go further in the camp’s actual assessments, made Instructor Li Qiantian resolve to answer the upcoming questions in even greater detail.

"I have two slots. I’m planning to give one to you!" Since he had decided to be completely open, Instructor Li Qiantian’s answer was also very direct.

From the number of investment slots, Zhang Yi could deduce that Instructor Li Qiantian, who was responsible for their Donghuang Province, was likely in the middle tier of strength among the instructors.

Zhang Yi nodded and continued to ask, "If I accept your investment, will I have corresponding rights and obligations?"

Hearing Zhang Yi’s second question, the admiration Instructor Li Qiantian already felt for him couldn’t help but deepen. "If you accept my investment, not only will you have no obligations, but you’ll also gain some advantages. After all, I want you to go as far as possible!"

Instructor Li Qiantian paused. "So, aside from a slight psychological burden, you have no other obligations whatsoever."

"So no rights either?" Zhang Yi asked suddenly.

Instructor Li Qiantian nodded subconsciously, but then he quickly caught himself and shook his head. "That’s not the right way to put it. After the provincial assessment, there will be an assessment for the entire Yanhuang Federal Region. You know about that, right?"

Zhang Yi gave a slight nod.

"At that time, it will involve the issue of choosing a side. You should know about this too, right?"

Zhang Yi recalled his grandfather’s words: ’Once you’ve earned the attention of others in the University Alliance Training Camp, it’s not just about the top powers and academies choosing you; it’s also about you choosing them in return! It’s a two-way street.’ With this in mind, Zhang Yi nodded again.

"The academies that show up will include those that work exclusively with major corporations, those that specialize in cultivating talent, and those directly affiliated with military districts... You’ll have to choose one to join. At that point, we instructors will need to select promising and willing students for our respective academies, form teams, and compete to gauge the students’ levels!"

After saying this, Instructor Li Qiantian was suddenly taken aback. "Wait, was I even allowed to say that?"

Instructor Li Qiantian looked up in surprise, then stared at Zhang Yi, trying to see if he had clearly heard what he had just said.
