Chapter 262: Chapter 209: Five-star Building Card [Ancient Heaven] Obtained; The Other 9 Students on the Golden Thrones
The next morning, Zhang Yi went to the Starry Hall again.
Compared to the first day,
the Starry Hall seemed rather deserted on the second day.
After the fierce struggles of the first day, students of corresponding strength now occupied all tiers of seats, from the Golden Thrones to the ordinary wooden ones.
With the one-time Point rewards for first-time occupation of the different tiers of thrones gone,
most of the students had become much more cautious about their upcoming challenges.
They absolutely would not initiate a challenge without complete confidence!
After all, losers bite the dust!
Even failing a challenge for the lowest tier, a wooden seat,
would cost the defeated student a Five-star Divine Domain Card, on top of the damage sustained by their Clan.
So, on the second day in the Starry Hall, even though the atmosphere grew tense when students vied for thrones of different tiers,
the air of bristling hostility was much less pronounced.
Some students didn’t even come to the Starry Hall at all on the second day.
After all, as far as they were concerned,
if they couldn’t challenge others in the Starry Hall, they were better off returning to their dorms, logging into their Divine Domain Connection Pods, and grinding on their own to improve their Clan’s strength.
The instructors supported this approach.
After all, no rule in the University Alliance Training Camp’s Yanhuang Federal Region assessment forced them to come to the Starry Hall and issue challenges every single day of the seven-day period.
Thus, on the second day, aside from the students already seated on the various tiers of thrones,
the number of throne-less students who came to contend for a seat was remarkably small.
Most of the students who had already won their thrones and were sitting on them had sent a sliver of their consciousness into their Divine Realms to improve their strength.
However, a few were whispering amongst themselves.
Zhang Yi only knew of the people sitting next to him from the data he had previously collected.
This was the first time he had seen them in person!
Because Zhang Yi had established his might in yesterday’s divine battle with Hu Jinxin,
the aftershock of his power still lingered.
As a result, throughout the entire second day,
even those on the Silver Thrones who wanted to challenge a Golden Throne holder chose not to target Zhang Yi.
This led to a situation where, on the second day,
from morning till night,
not a single student from the Silver Thrones issued a challenge to Zhang Yi.
This allowed Zhang Yi, like most of the students who had already secured their thrones,
to not only send a sliver of his consciousness into his Divine Realm to guide his Clan’s development,
but also have time to watch the broadcast replays of yesterday’s divine battles fought by the other nine students who now occupied the Golden Thrones.
Over the course of the afternoon, Zhang Yi gained a relatively clear understanding of the other nine Golden Throne holders.
Due to the seating arrangement,
Zhang Yi occupied a Golden Throne near the middle—Golden Throne number five.
The ten Golden Thrones had no order of precedence;
only the numbers marked on the back of the seats were different.
The one occupying Golden Throne number one was Tuoba Yu from Beihuang Province, who had caught Zhang Yi’s attention before.
Tuoba Yu’s Main Clan was the Icefield Mammoth-man, possessing a trace of mammoth bloodline.
His auxiliary clan was the Ice Crystal Clan, a type of Elemental Life born directly from the icefields.
His Main Clan, the Icefield Mammoth-man, was few in number, barely reaching two thousand.
His auxiliary Ice Crystal Clan was slightly more numerous, but still only numbered three thousand.
The rest were just Half-beastmen collected from the icefields to pad out their numbers.
But it was precisely because his main and auxiliary Clans were so few in number that he drew Zhang Yi’s attention!
Zhang Yi estimated that,
’even among the ten Golden Throne holders, Tuoba Yu’s strength is solidly in the top five.’
The one occupying Golden Throne number two was Zhao Qian from Shangjing Province.
His Main Clan was the Rhino-man.
They also belonged to the T0-tier of Half-Beastman Clans.
However, while watching the replay of the divine battle, Zhang Yi noticed something wasn’t right.
Other people’s rhino clans were white,
but in his, some of the individual Rhino-men were actually yellow.
This led Zhang Yi to speculate, ’Could this be a bloodline atavism, awakening the blood of the Golden Rhinoceros Clan?!’
As for the student occupying the third Golden Throne, it was Bai Keke from Baihua Province.
Just as Hong Tianyi’s intel had indicated, Bai Keke’s Clan was the Flower Demon.
But her Main Clan was not Flower Demons, but Demons!
Demons and Elves had some similarities, but the differences were greater.
The Demons had a special system of Magic, independent of the Elf Clan, that was passed down within the Fairy Clan.
This magic system was closer to Illusion Technique, Natural Contract, and Curious Object Creation,
leaning toward cunning tricks that were impossible to defend against.
And Bai Keke herself seemed to be an expert strategist.
Using the seemingly weak and outwardly deceptive Demons and Flower Demons,
combined with her own schemes, she could often display power far beyond that of an ordinary candidate!
’She’s an opponent I need to be careful with!’
The student temporarily occupying Golden Throne number four was Shi Potian from Xisha Province.
Just from hearing his name, Shi Potian, it sounded upright and honorable.
But Shi Potian’s Main Clan was not like that at all.
Among all the candidates, only Shi Potian’s initial Divine Realm was a desert terrain.
Normally, any other candidate who saw their initial terrain was a desert would have given up in despair.
But as it happened, Shi Potian’s luck was good.
