Chapter 233: Chapter 198: The Provincial Exam Ends; If You Don’t Cultivate, Seeing Me Is Like a Frog in a Well Gazing at the Moon; If You Cultivate...

"These three days will be enough for you to get a good rest."

However, before Instructor Li Qiongtian could let them savor the good news, and before the remaining forty-eight students below could bask in their momentary joy, his voice fell once more.

"Of course, during these next three days, you can certainly choose to lie in your dorms and sleep like logs, making up for the physical and spiritual torment of your training."

Hearing Instructor Li Qiongtian’s words, many of the cadets below felt he was speaking directly to them. The mere memory brought pained expressions to their faces! Before the daily training began, they hadn’t thought much of it. But once it started, they truly understood the meaning of physical suffering. In addition to the immense mental pressure from the weekly arena battle assessment, they also had to face Instructor Li Qiongtian’s daily training regimen!

Ostensibly, it was to teach them how to properly use Divine Arts and engage in physical combat through sparring. But in reality, these rookies, fresh to actual combat, were just used as punching bags by the instructor. And when one of them dared to question Instructor Li Qiongtian, they would only get beaten even more severely!

In Instructor Li Qiongtian’s own words:

"If you want to learn how to use Divine Arts and fight, you first have to learn how to take a beating.

"Only after being beaten enough will you know where it hurts most to hit someone, how to block an enemy’s attack, and how to counter-attack!"

Even now, recalling the beatings they had to endure almost daily for the past twenty-some days, pained expressions still appeared on many cadets’ faces.

"During these three days, although you will still be confined to the University Alliance Training Camp, your personal terminals will be getting a new function!

"You’ll be able to communicate online with the geniuses selected from the other University Alliance Training Camp divisions after their provincial exams are over!"

Having already been hit with several pieces of news, the cadets didn’t have much of a reaction. After Instructor Li Qiongtian finished speaking, he saw the exhaustion and numbness on the faces of the cadets below. He didn’t say anything more and simply turned and left. But just before he went, he shot a particular glance in Zhang Yi’s direction, though none of the other cadets noticed.

However, even after the assembly was dismissed, Instructor Li Qiongtian’s words left Zhang Yi deep in thought. Hong Tianyi, Wan Hua, and Huang Yingtian walked over to him.

"Brother Zhang, we finally made it through those miserable days! We can finally get a good rest for the next three days!" Wan Hua grinned, a rare look of relaxation on his face.

The month-long provincial exam, with its four full arena battle assessments, had been grueling. Facing the top three students from other schools who were hot on his heels, he, the original fourth-ranked student from Golden City No.1 Middle School, had been under immense pressure! During the third arena battle, he was matched against Zhan Baitian, a student from Golden City Sixth Middle School. After a difficult fight, he lost 500 Points.

Heeding the warning and turning shame into strength, Wan Hua had barely slept at all during the final week, pushing his Demigod body to its limits. His hard work paid off. In the fourth arena battle, he was once again matched with Qin Ling, another student from Golden City Sixth Middle School. This time, Wan Hua finally managed a narrow victory! But a narrow victory was still a victory! However, now that the provincial exam was over, the fatigue and tension in Wan Hua’s eyes could no longer be hidden.

At that moment, Zhang Yi was still pondering Instructor Li Qiongtian’s final words. We’ll be able to contact the students selected from other divisions after their provincial exams... what does that imply?

Hong Tianyi and Huang Yingtian, who had developed some rapport after their team mission, looked at the pensive Zhang Yi. "What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Yi voiced the question on his mind.

Hearing Zhang Yi’s question, Wan Hua was a bit dismissive. What else could it be for, other than communicating and gathering information on others ahead of time?

Huang Yingtian shared Wan Hua’s line of thought. But just then, Hong Tianyi offered a different perspective.

"I think I’ve heard my elders talk about this. During the provincial exam assessment, provocations and brawls aren’t allowed. But once you enter the assessment for the entire Yanhuang Federation, some of the students’ ’little maneuvers’ are tacitly permitted.

"It’s impossible to cause any major trouble, but tripping someone up or kicking them while they’re down happens all the time! Also, it becomes possible for students from different regions to form alliances in advance and secretly target a certain school or student!

"In short, compared to the provincial exam, the assessment for the entire Yanhuang Federation has far fewer restrictions!"

Huang Yingtian and Wan Hua were taken aback by Hong Tianyi’s words. They hadn’t gotten any of that from what Instructor Li Qiongtian had said.

"So, you’re saying these three days aren’t actually for us to rest, but for us to form alliances and sabotage those high-potential students?"

They had reached their dorm room by now. Following their habit, they entered Zhang Yi’s living area and sat down. Wan Hua was the one who posed the question. Hearing him lay it all out so bluntly, a worried look crossed Huang Yingtian’s face. After all, the possibility of secret alliances and sabotaging others was very likely to become a reality.
