You should just admit defeat.
"The Territory Domain battle, the rules are actually very simple. It simulates how we capture cities and territories when we go to war with myriad races."
As Instructor Fu spoke, a white light suddenly descended from the sky. It was a three-dimensional projection that appeared from who knows where.
With a single swipe of his hand across the three-dimensional projection, a battlefield immediately appeared, filled with numerous buildings, most of which were residential.
"What you need to do is, in a certain Territory Domain, find all the enemies, and then either defeat them or find a way to drive them out. Once only members of our squad remain in this Territory Domain and no members of other squads, we win. For tomorrow's battle, the winner will receive one thunder fire dragon stone each. This is an excellent treasure for Body Tempering, a top-tier natural spiritual object."
Pang Jinghai and Li Qingshen clearly knew what the thunder fire dragon stone was, and their eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Jiang Xuan was also very moved and asked:
"Instructor Fu, if there's a special Ultimate Skill that can teleport all opponents out of this Territory Domain, even if only for a second, do we still count as winning?"
Instructor Fu nodded: "Exactly. As long as for that one instant, only your team members are in this Territory Domain and no one else, it counts as a win."
Pang Jinghai clicked his tongue: "That's a bit of a trick, isn't it? As far as I know, people from the Xuanyuan Family are especially skilled in space-type Ultimate Skills."
Instructor Fu snorted coldly: "If someone's Ultimate Skill hits you, and you don't dodge, causing you to be teleported out, is that your problem or your opponent's problem?"
Pang Jinghai seemed to ponder, nodding slightly.
"Alright, that's enough. You all rest well. Tomorrow is the Sixth Prodigy Squad's first battle. This battle must succeed, no failure allowed!"
Instructor Fu issued the military order, then flew directly to his bedroom, leaving the three who had re-laid on the floor.
Jiang Xuan was the most exhausted of the three. If he wasn't a Cultivator who could replenish his stamina with true essence, he would have collapsed long ago.
After all, he had almost depleted his stamina from training with Carl earlier!
For these three hours, he had endured the training with less than one percent of his stamina remaining.
"Oh, by the way, have you heard of a guy named Carl?"
Thinking of Carl, Jiang Xuan suddenly asked. Pang Jinghai and Li Qingshen both had impressive backgrounds, so they might know.
It was just curiosity, no other meaning.
"Carl?" Pang Jinghai was a bit puzzled, "Sounds like a foreign name."
"Never heard of him," Li Qingshen also shook his head, then asked, "What's wrong? Is he your enemy? If so, I'll help you get revenge next time we meet, since we're teammates now."
"Not at all," Jiang Xuan chuckled, "It's just that he's very strong, as strong as me."
Pang Jinghai suddenly turned his head, scrutinized him up and down, and then, sensing something, exclaimed in surprise:
"You... you've already had a Breakthrough to Martial King?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said:
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Pang Jinghai clicked his tongue:
"I take back what I said, your Cultivate speed is quite fast."
Li Qingshen, however, found it strange:
"Jiang Xuan, you just had a Breakthrough to Martial King, so you're only a One-Star Martial King, right? If Carl is like you, he shouldn't be considered strong. The Prodigy Training Camp is full of Martial Emperors, especially with the third and fourth-year students."
He spoke directly, without malice, merely expressing his confusion.
Jiang Xuan, of course, understood Li Qingshen's nature, so he smiled and said:
"That's not necessarily true."
Currently, he could already contend with a Two-Star Martial Emperor with just his strength. If he added Titans Strength, he could even easily defeat a Five-Star Martial Emperor!
After all, if a Two-Star Martial Emperor's strength increased tenfold, it would be roughly equivalent to a Five-Star Martial Emperor.
In this situation, both he and Carl could easily defeat Li Qingshen, and that was without even considering his Divine Ability and Magical Artifacts, as those couldn't be used casually.
However, Jiang Xuan understood that it would be difficult to explain all this to Li Qingshen now. Once the Territory Domain battle began tomorrow, Li Qingshen would naturally understand.
The three chatted for a while longer, then, forcing themselves to stand, returned to their respective bedrooms.
Jiang Xuan took a bath with the gene potion. Putting everything else aside, this gene potion was really effective. After the bath, he not only felt his fatigue completely gone but even the soreness in his body disappeared.
Seeing that it was already two in the morning, he lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep... "Get up, get up!"
At seven in the morning, Instructor Fu's voice, like a lion's roar, shook the entire training base.
Pang Jinghai and Li Qingshen were both startled awake. Only Jiang Xuan remained calm, because he had already woken up and was sitting cross-legged on the bed, Cultivating.
As a Cultivator, he didn't actually need sleep, but sleeping for a bit to recover his spirit was also good, so he only slept for a few hours before waking up.
After a quick wash, Jiang Xuan walked out of the bedroom with a relaxed expression, immediately seeing Li Qingshen also pushing open his door.
Li Qingshen rubbed his eyes, still sleepy, but his hairstyle was surprisingly neat, still in his Daoist hair bun.
"Instructor Fu, you're torturing people. What I lack most is sleep."
Li Qingshen complained, but still obediently walked to Instructor Fu, standing alongside Jiang Xuan.
Pang Jinghai was the last to come out, but he looked remarkably refreshed.
Seeing that the three had assembled, Instructor Fu waved his hand:
"Depart!"
...Half an hour later, in the Territory Domain.
This place was the most special location in the Prodigy Training Camp, because it didn't belong to the Prodigy Training Camp itself, nor even to the Kun District or the City of Flame.
Because it was a constantly changing interdimensional space, legend has it that it was personally fixed by the Martial God three hundred thousand years ago.
The Territory Domain could be large or small as it transformed. This time, it had transformed into a commercial street, with various shops and towering skyscrapers on both sides.
There were a full hundred thousand seats around the Territory Domain, but not many people were seated, only the members and instructors of the hundred Prodigy Squads from the Prodigy Training Camp.
Under the gaze of everyone, Instructor Fu led Jiang Xuan and the other two into the Territory Domain.
Immediately after, another Prodigy Squad also entered, led by their instructor.
"Your squad only has three people?"
This instructor was a big fat man, but his face had a somewhat shrewd look. He scrutinized Jiang Xuan and the other two, then spoke.
Instructor Fu said: "Exactly. This is called 'better to have too little than too much'."
The fat instructor sighed: "Then we can only send out three people as well. We'll send three Martial Emperors, specifically two One-Star Martial Emperors and one Two-Star Martial Emperor. Do you have any objections?"
Instructor Fu's face darkened: "No, we only have two Martial Emperors here, and one is a Martial King."
A clear look of delight flashed across the fat instructor's face. He said: "Then there's no helping it. All six of my team members are Martial Emperors. Otherwise... why don't you just surrender?"
Given similar strength, three Martial Emperors against two Martial Emperors and a Martial King gave a significant advantage.
The other Prodigy Squads and instructors watching also understood this, and none of them favored Instructor Fu's team.
It seemed that the Sixth Prodigy Squad was destined to lose their first Territory Domain battle!
