Chapter 394 - 270: The Most Promising Candidate to Become a Powerful Divine Being, the Third Assessment’s Results Are Out
Instructor Li Qiontian gave an extremely high evaluation.
’To think he could so thoroughly rout a Legion conducted by a veteran Ninth-Level Vampire Count, and on the Vampire Corps’ own home turf.’
’The strength Zhang Yi and his Clan have accumulated...’
’...truly surpasses his peers, even in the context of the final assessments for the Yanhuang Federation’s University Alliance Training Camp!’
When the wisp of Instructor Li Qiontian’s Split Soul, stationed in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm, witnessed the Goblin Magical Mechanized Corps make its entrance under the conduct of Goblin Corps Commander Gandar—with Goblin Magical Mecha protecting Dwarf Magical Tanks and coordinating with Goblin Magical Airships from above to launch a saturation attack that blanketed the two Mage units in the Vampire Corps’ rear—a look of utter astonishment appeared in his eyes.
’Last time, I only mentioned it in passing.’
’But this kid, Zhang Yi... in just one month, it seems he’s actually managed to shore up the Goblin Clan’s weaknesses!’
’Not only has the Goblin Clan gained another Heroic Clan member,’
’but it’s one capable of conducting frontline combat!’
’What’s more, the physically frail Goblins are now able to go into battle!’
’And they can form such a powerful fighting force!’
Instructor Li Qiontian watched the scene before him with great interest.
Although the Goblin pilots controlled their mecha with some clumsiness,
they had superior numbers,
and their firepower was not the least bit inferior to the Dwarf Magical Tanks.
It was a battle of firsts.
It was the first time Goblin Corps Commander Gandar had ever conducted a military operation, and for the pilots of the Goblin Magical Mecha and Dwarf Magical Tanks, it was their first time ever seeing frontline combat!
In Instructor Li Qiontian’s experience,
the Goblin Clan, while famous for its unique Alchemy and Engineering,
was also typically timid, treacherous, and cunning.
When faced with danger, they’d run faster than anyone!
This made it difficult for them to form any kind of military force.
In the Divine Realms of other Divine Beings, Goblins existed, but they were almost always an auxiliary Clan.
They would work in technology or commerce.
He had truly never seen a Divine Being send their Goblin Clan into battle!
However, the performance of the Goblin Clan in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm was a real eye-opener for him!
The Goblins in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm hadn’t just developed Magical Technology; they had militarized it, scaled it up,
and even formed a fully-structured Magical Mechanized Corps!
Moreover, while their performance on the battlefield wasn’t as elegant as that of the Elf Corps,
it had its own unique strengths.
Through saturation fire, they had become an indispensable long-range attack force!
Instructor Li Qiontian had only ever seen this method of saturation fire used in Divine Wars, by Divine Beings whose Initial Clan consisted of mechanical lifeforms.
Seeing this scene unconsciously reminded Instructor Li Qiontian of a certain figure: Jing Yunfei, the candidate hailed as the Third Era’s most promising prospect to become the eighth Powerful Divine Being.
His combat style was just like that of the Magical Mechanized Corps: saturation fire!
Who could have imagined that Jing Yunfei, now a Middle-Level Divine Being,
was once mocked when he started out because his Initial Clan consisted of mechanical lifeforms!
In the beginning, no one thought much of his Clan.
After all, mechanical lifeforms were emotionally weak and could hardly provide faith.
Yet, under circumstances where no one believed in him,
Jing Yunfei carved a bloody path forward through his own strength!
At the start, Jing Yunfei temporarily abandoned the traditional method of gathering faith.
Instead, he focused on his Initial Clan’s ability to devour Metal and reproduce endlessly.
He began a massive troop buildup.
He transformed his Divine Realm into a colossal, ceaselessly operating machine factory!
While other Divine Beings were still struggling to nurture a single Heroic Clan member,
Jing Yunfei, with his massive, coordinated, mechanized Clan Corps, used saturation fire to blast the Heroic Clan members others had painstakingly nurtured into nothing but cannon fodder!
Jing Yunfei’s combat style was the epitome of firepower supremacy!
There was no need for complex strategies or the individual valor of Heroic Clan members.
All he needed was an endless mechanical army and overwhelming saturation fire
to blast a mechanical path right through the Clans that relied on Magic and Fighting Qi!
And even as Jing Yunfei forged a path with his unconventional Clan, he didn’t forsake acquiring a Divine Position.
Machinery was the Main Divine Position he commanded.
Unfortunately, ascending to the rank of Powerful Divine Being was no simple feat.
From the beginning of the Third Era to the current middle-to-Late Stage of the Third Era,
Jing Yunfei had been consolidating his power for half an era, yet he still hadn’t ascended to become a Powerful Divine Being.
Such matters, however, were still a distant concern for Instructor Li Qiontian.
After he collected the resources from his investments in Zhang Yi and Lu Mei,
Instructor Li Qiontian’s own strength would only then approach the peak of a Weak Divine Being.
But as for ascending to Middle Demigod... who knew how many centuries that would take!
The wisp of Instructor Li Qiontian’s Split Soul gazed at the Magical Beams firing from the Goblin Mecha and Dwarf Magical Tanks, and the Alchemy Bombs raining down from the Goblin Magical Airships.
Although their scale and technology seemed crude compared to the Divine Beings who specialized in saturation fire with mechanical Initial Clans,
the way Zhang Yi employed the concept was already strikingly similar!
’He’s fully unleashing their Talents in Goblin Engineering and magical fields, walking the path of a Magical Civilization... Is he preparing to specialize solely in Goblins?’
