Chapter 203: Chapter 189: The kind sophomore who brings warmth, what a good person~!

The weak stay down, and the strong rise to the top; resources are always more abundant for the strong, and this is the principle of the Dragon Academy in treating its students.

Don’t talk about unfairness, for this world was never fair from the beginning.

Although the Coalition of Nations within Blue Star targets the Great Xia Empire, they still cannot shake the Great Xia Empire’s transcendent status on Blue Star.

As the sole inheritor of ancient civilization, the depth of the Great Xia Empire’s heritage is vast, backed by four Ancient Empires within the Sea of Realms.

What about the Coalition of Nations?

The few Ancient Empires they originally relied on have encountered extinction-level disasters within the Sea of Realms and have long since vanished into dust.

This is the fundamental reason why the Coalition of Nations has united to target the Great Xia Empire: they are unwilling to submit to it.

Especially since the modern Great Xia Empire saw the rise of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, which almost led to the annihilation of the Great Xia Empire, giving the Coalition of Nations a glimmer of hope.

The various disputes on Blue Star are handled by the official and military departments of the Great Xia Empire, while the Dragon Academy needs to cultivate talent for the four Ancient Empires, sending more Lords into the Sea of Realms.

But the competition within the Sea of Realms is cruel; the slightest mistake can lead to death.

Therefore, the methods of student cultivation adopted by the Dragon Academy are also intensely competitive, picking out the strongest batch for focused training from the best of the best.

Despite the numerous Lord’s Heart places available each year, the actual number of Lords entering the Sea of Realms is less than one-fifth.

Why are so many people missing?

Where have the extra Lord’s Hearts gone?

The answer is that they were collected by top students, either to cultivate their own subordinates or for use in territorial relocation within the Sea of Realms. In short, the Lord’s Heart has many uses, especially within the Sea of Realms.

Thus, the competition within the Dragon Academy is exceptionally fierce, yet controlled by the teachers within a certain intense range.

At the very least, student deaths within the academy are rare. Most students who fall at Dragon Academy do so encountering accidents on missions outside in the Dragon Blessed Land, resulting in casualties.

The reason why students leave the Dragon Blessed Land to complete certain tasks in the outside world, has to do with the cooperation between the Dragon Academy and the military and official departments.

Inside the Dragon Academy, there are abundant resources, most of which are suitable for use within the Sea of Realms.

However, the Dragon Academy, after all, is nominally under the Great Xia Empire and needs to help the Empire deal with some tricky problems every year.

Such as dealing with monster nests in the wild, eradicating certain evil organizations that step out of line, etc.

Accidents in the wilderness are unpredictable; even a Fourth Order Level 100 peak powerhouse could be ambushed and killed.

Therefore, it is not difficult to accept the death of Dragon Academy students on missions in the wilderness.

It can only be said that the fallen students weren’t strong enough, cautious enough, and didn’t have great fortune on their side.

With each cohort of students, such situations will arise, and there will always be an individual with the power to suppress tens of thousands of same-order fighters.

The gap in strength is just that illogical.

The most important currency in the Dragon Academy is Contribution Value, which can be used to purchase most resources within the academy.

And for Contribution Value, all kinds of challenges, arena battles, Secret Realm levels, and special instances can earn it.

Of course, the quickest way to get Contribution Value is through the arena.

Not only can one participate in the arena, but one can also join in on the betting, earning even more Contribution Value.

As Wang Fatty continued to explain, Zi Liyuan was filled with anticipation for those Sophomores who came looking for trouble.

So, he took Shen Yurou, Number Two, and Wang Fatty, and deliberately chose a main road, strutting upon it with an air of arrogance.

Even more afraid of not being noticed, he, as the national college entrance examination number one scholar of this batch, very arrogantly summoned hundreds of Skeleton Knights, rampaging unscrupulously through the forest, and all wild monsters encountered along the way were ruthlessly crushed.

Such a high-profile manner of travel naturally attracted certain gazes hiding in the shadows, leading swiftly to being targeted by some Seniors.

When they arrived at a small river, a rain of arrows flew across from the opposite bank, covering a hundred-meter radius.

With “click” sounds continuously echoing, Skeleton Knights were struck by the arrow rain, shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of white bones.

A volley of arrows, clearing out all Skeleton Knights within a hundred meters, was followed by ten consecutive shots—arrows flashing like meteors, specifically targeting Zi Liyuan’s chest.

Before Zi Liyuan could react, the space around him suddenly tightened, and he felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on his body, making it extremely difficult to move.

And that was not all; a barrage of Wind Blades followed a gust of wind, sweeping in from a distance.

The sharp Wind Blades, like sweeping through a house, mowed down the numerous Skeleton Knights, precisely cutting them in half.

“Group Silence Curse!”

A bright, clear voice rang from within, and an inexplicable force directly sealed the mouths of the four, rendering them unable to speak or make any sound.

“Necrosis Dispel!”

“Shadow Element Repulsion!”

A petite figure stepped out from behind a large tree, casting three spells directly onto Zi Liyuan and the others.

They immediately lost their ability to speak; the powers of death and shadow elements were sealed, effectively crippling Zi Liyuan’s strength by fifty percent.
