Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

To make the performance more realistic, he even angrily exclaimed indignation:

"who is it?!"

"How dare you injure someone in front of the city lord, in such a sacred place as the Destiny Square? This is utterly disrespectful to the city lord and the rules of the City of Ten Thousand Races!"

"This is simply unreasonable!"

His anger was practically overflowing from the corners of his eyes and brows!

This indignant outburst was nothing unusual.

But the problem is...

The environment is eerily quiet right now.

This passionate and impassioned outburst naturally seemed particularly abrupt.

In an instant, almost everyone in the square turned their attention to Jiang Yi.

The way others looked at him, however, was not one of approval or admiration…

Instead, it was a look of speechless shock.

Those eyes seemed to say—

Wait, is this guy suffering from some serious illness?!

The city lord, a mere student, hasn't even spoken yet, and you dare to steal his lines?

That's incredibly tactless!

Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to speak here?

Of course, because Jiang Yi was standing in the Changsheng Academy's team.

Therefore, most of the people standing around him were students from the Longevity Academy.

The students looked at him with particular disdain.

Some students even quietly moved a little further away from him.

From their eyes to their gestures, everything they did revealed their true feelings.

As expected of a lowly commoner from Wuliang Academy! Absolutely no manners!

Jiang Yi remained unfazed by the speechless or disdainful looks he received, as if he hadn't noticed the reactions of those around him at all.

Xunwu, who was standing next to him, felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

He swallowed hard and sent a message to Jiang Yi:

【No, buddy, you…】

Jiang Yi looked puzzled: "Wait, buddy... why did you suddenly send a message again?"

Enlightenment: […]

Emotional intelligence is a wonderful thing, but some people seem to lack it?

How did this guy survive until now?

Xunwu was so enigmatic that he could hardly bear to look at him.

He even considered taking a few steps back and pretending not to know Jiang Yi to avoid suspicion...

However, it was too late to avoid suspicion now, so he could only stand stiffly next to Jiang Yi, trying to appear calm.

Meanwhile, in the center of Destiny Square, the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Races, Woruo, who had slapped the chubby boy away, also turned his gaze to Jiang Yi, his eyes twitching slightly.

He took a deep breath, his gaze complex for a moment, before looking away again.

This time, he swept his gaze across the entire area, and with a casual flick of his wrist, he handed the chubby boy who had been swatted away to the law enforcement team responsible for maintaining order on the outermost edge of the square.

Afterwards, he did not delve into the matter further, but instead spoke frankly to the students of both colleges:

"Are all the students participating in the 'special training' here? If not, we won't wait for them."

"There's not much time left before the special training starts, so I'll keep it brief."

"Regarding this special training, in addition to the advice given to you by your respective deans... as the city lord, I have two more points to remind you students."

"First point—"

"I hope that both the Longevity Academy and the Boundless Academy can put aside their past grievances and take this special training seriously."

"The two colleges have long maintained a fierce competitive relationship. This competition has led students from both colleges to habitually harbor hostility towards students from the other college..."

"Of course, this hostility and competition can also promote your growth to some extent."

"But since you are all the top geniuses of the City of Myriad Races, I hope you can distinguish between different occasions, prioritize tasks, and have the sense of responsibility and role model status as geniuses of the City of Myriad Races!"

"In order to fulfill this responsibility, I hope you will put aside past grievances and focus on the training theme during this special training, rather than using this opportunity to suppress competing schools."

“Suppressing them at this time is tantamount to brothers fighting amongst themselves and killing each other.”

As he spoke, an unusual light shone in Woro's eyes.

Along with that burst of light, all the students present felt an invisible pressure.

As the most outstanding talents among all races, they naturally understood the city lord's meaning instantly.

Although previously, within their respective institutions, the deans intended to take this opportunity to compete with another college.

But the city lord's intention was for them to focus on cooperation.

Don't forget that their only enemy during their special training is the opposing faction in the boundary battlefield, not another academy with whom they have a competitive relationship.

In fact, if Woro had only mentioned cooperation in a high-sounding manner...

Most students won't really take it to heart.

After all, those high-sounding, empty words have been said before.

But this time, it's clearly not the case.

Woro spoke very solemnly.

He even singled out this as the "first point" in his concise explanation.

This shows that he really didn't want the students to fight amongst themselves during this special training.

Given what he's said, if students still insist on fighting amongst themselves...

After the special training ends, the city lord might hold a grudge against them.

Regardless of the competition between the students of the two colleges, they are well aware of one truth—

In this city of myriad races, the city lord, Woruo, holds a position far above that of their respective deans.

Therefore, they could not possibly disobey the city lord's warning for the sake of the dean's expectations or the so-called honor of the academy.

In this light, it remains uncertain whether the two institutions will cooperate during this special training, but there shouldn't be any major conflicts.

This potential news secretly relieved many students of Wuliang Academy.

After all, their strength is indeed inferior to that of the Longevity Academy.

If they are truly suppressed by the Longevity Academy, their special training results will likely be quite poor...

But the city lord's words are right here.

Even if the final results are still not as good as Changsheng Academy, the casualties should not be too heavy.

Xun Wu felt a sense of relief and even sent Jiang Yi another message:

It seems we don't need anyone protecting us anymore.

Jiang Yi did not reply.

In any case, the city lord's "admonition" could not restrain him.

As the spotlight was on him, Woro's gaze swept across the entire room once more. Seeing that his deliberate warning had worked, he nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he softened his voice and said in a low tone:

"As for my second point, it concerns your interests."

"The purpose of the special training is to prepare for the selection competition."

"And you who participated in the selection competition are the face of my City of Ten Thousand Races!"

"Therefore, after this special training concludes, as the city lord of the City of Myriad Races, I will personally fund additional rewards for the students who performed exceptionally well during the training!"

"And the scope of this reward is extremely broad!"

As he spoke, Woro waved his arms.

All the students gathered in Destiny Square saw before their eyes a palm-sized, crescent-shaped, translucent white jade.

So-called nephrite looks like jade to the naked eye and feels like jade when you pinch it, but it is as soft as clay and can be molded into different shapes as you like.

As all the students held the soft jade, they were filled with surprise and doubt.

City Lord Woruo then stated frankly:

"This soft jade is a 'beast trap' specially made by the Land of Order."

"After you enter the Realm Battlefield, you will receive an announcement regarding the Realm Battlefield competition rules."

"In order to select the 'outstanding students' who meet the award criteria according to my standards, I have given each of you a trap bag."

"After the special training is over, all students can bring their animal-catching bags to me to claim their rewards."

"And what will determine your reward amount is the number of Cursed Clan players you capture alive in your beast-catching bags at that time!"
