Chapter 25 Heroic Dragon Warrior
The seventeen apprentices were seated in three rows, the top three in the first row, the other three apprentices who aspired to be in the top three in the middle row, and all the remaining apprentices in the last row.
Nie Yang did not interfere with the apprentices' seating positions. He just glanced at them and then looked away, saying to himself:
"Today is your first class since you entered school. There are three courses. The first one is the planning and construction of the divine domain, the second one is free questioning, and the third one is the actual combat test."
Without further ado, he started the lecture:
"There is actually no fixed number for the God's Domain Planning, because the size of each apprentice's God's Domain is different, the resources they have are different, and the experiences they will have in the future are also different. In addition, each apprentice takes a different path, which leads to different God's Domain Planning."
"But no matter how things change, the core remains the same. No matter how you plan your God's Domain, the core will not change. That is to start planning and building with the core tower of the God's Domain as the center."
"I will talk about the planning of the God's Domain in three points. The first point is the planning of the core tower, the second point is the planning of the important areas outside the tower, and the third point is the overall planning of the entire God's Domain."
"The newly opened core towers of the God's Domain only have three floors. Depending on the size of the God's Domain, the size of the core space varies, and each floor can be cut into areas of different sizes."
"Generally speaking, the high towers in the God's Domain stand on the ground, with one floor underground and two floors above ground."
"In most cases, the underground floor will be divided into an energy pool, the first floor is the living area, and the second floor is the practice area."
"There's not much to say about the planning of the core tower. This is a personal privacy. As long as it is roughly divided according to this, there will be no problem. The main planning points are the important areas of the God's Domain."
"A divine domain has three important areas. One is the military area, one is the important divine domain building area, and the other is the magic technology area."
"These three important areas span your Divine Realm from the present to the distant future. Don't think that you don't need to care about them just because you don't have resources or Divine Realm buildings. This is a mistake."
"It can be predicted that the area of most of your divine domains will not increase for a long time. Could it be that you will never open up these areas just because you don't increase the space of your divine domains ?"
Nie Yang took a sip of water and continued:
"You have two years to prepare. After two years, you will need to independently or jointly descend to some plane fragments on the edge of this plane fragment group. You will need to face everything independently."
"You will land on the plane fragment independently without any support. You will need to rely on the capital in your own divine domain to conquer the natives and enemies in the plane and plunder their resources. This process often takes years. If the native enemies in the plane are too powerful, it may take several years to complete the conquest."
"During this period, you are not allowed to return to the War College for support."
"During this period, you will have to accomplish this feat on your own."
"If your divine domain planning is not perfect by that time and has obvious shortcomings, you will not be able to hold on for that long. You may collapse internally before conquering the enemy."
Li Qing sat in the front row and listened with a serious face. He had never heard of a course on this subject before.
Before, they had only heard a few fragments about the war plane in junior college. Most of them were similar to news, which only talked about how the war lords defeated powerful enemies, but no one had ever told them the specific knowledge in this regard.
This kind of knowledge and experience can only be known by war lords who have truly experienced plane conquests.
However, the general official war lords have limited combat experience, and only the mentors in the academy can collect a large number of examples in this regard to teach them.
Experience can be expressed in just a few words, but if you don’t know, you will never know.
As the saying goes, a false story may contain thousands of books, but a true story may contain only one sentence. Just such a short sentence may determine life or death in the future in another dimension.
Nie Yang raised a finger and gave an example:
"Let's calculate based on a divine domain with a diameter of 100 meters. The core tower of the divine domain is in the center, and the general divine domain interface is in the east. When you plan the defense system of the divine domain, do you plan to use a wooden or stone wall to surround the divine domain, but exclude a part of the eastern part of the divine domain?"
He looked at the apprentices below and suddenly asked with a smile.
The apprentices were stunned, some were confused, some were embarrassed, including Li Qing, who did it just like that.
"That's not okay."
The instructor shook his head and said:
"First of all, you must understand that although the default docking port is in the east, it does not mean that it is impossible to invade the divine domain from other locations. It's just that in the early stages, you basically have no chance of encountering beings and enemies with this ability. But as long as it is not absolute, it is possible. Once this happens, you know the consequences."
“So how should we plan?”
"There are two ways. One is to enclose the entire divine domain with a wall, but leave a buffer space about ten meters wide outside."
"Another way is to divide the area into sections, using walls to enclose the central core tower, and then enclose other important areas separately, with the open space in the middle used for farming or building some unimportant facilities."
"No matter which method you use, you need to determine the locations of the three major important areas. Generally speaking, there are several placements for your reference."
"The first way is..."
Mentor Nie Yang was talking enthusiastically, and they were listening attentively below, with no one daring to interrupt.
The apprentices present were not the official descendants of war lords, so naturally no one taught them these things.
Li Qing listened carefully to the knowledge taught by his instructor. Vivid examples reminded them of the consequences if they did not plan well for the future. Comparing them with his own divine realm, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
"fine!"
The city walls within his divine domain can be demolished, and the already constructed walls will not be wasted, they just need to be moved to another location. If other apprentices have already started building, all the previous work will be in vain, and a lot of resources will be wasted.
They don't have a golden finger that can decompose and reassemble the wood at will, and the wood that has been cut has no other use except for burning firewood.
The stones that have been chiseled cannot be put together and can only be used in other ways.
This class lasted almost three and a half hours, with four breaks in between.
Li Qing took all of this seriously in mind. At this point, he already had a general idea in his mind. Once the class was over, he could readjust the plans within the divine domain.
The content of the first lesson is not profound, but no one tells you that it is difficult for some apprentices of civilian origin to know it.
Maybe you will slowly figure it out yourself after it officially arrives in the future, but you will often have already paid a huge price.
After the course, students will have a question-and-answer session.
If there is anything you don’t understand or don’t know, you can ask your instructor.
However, the first class was not very profound and the instructor explained it in great detail, so no one had too many questions and the class passed quickly.
Soon it was the turn of the third class - practical test.
Nie Yang glanced at the apprentices and said in a deep voice:
"This practical test is very simple. It's called the survival test. Later on, you will need to enter a challenge maze. There will be a steady stream of monsters attacking you from one end of the maze. You need to persevere. The longer you can persevere, the higher your score will be."
At this point, Nie Yang showed a strange smile on his face and said:
"This is your first class. I will put a God's Domain Building Core in the reward pool. If anyone accumulates more than 75 points and ranks first, they can exchange for a God's Domain Building Core. You can choose any one of several basic God's Domain Building Cores."
The apprentices' eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
“This is a great opportunity!”
Li Qing secretly made up his mind that if possible, he must not miss this opportunity.
Even the worst building in the divine realm costs tens of millions outside, but the key is that there is no demand for it. This thing requires a branch of magic pattern architects among real magic pattern constructors to build it, and the output is too small.
If there is no mentor, just where to buy it is a big problem, and most people cannot find a purchasing channel.
At this time Nie Yang continued:
"Now you can go ahead and prepare in your own divine domains. Each person can only bring 50 units of troops, regardless of level. Cavalry: 2 units, professionals: 2 units, heroes: 5 units. Assign your own troops and come out to assemble in half an hour."
After saying this, the instructor turned around and whispered with several teaching assistants, but it was unclear what they were talking about.
The apprentices looked at each other and could see the fighting spirit on each other's faces.
Cao Wenyuan, who ranked second among the apprentices, glanced at the chief Zhang Jishan, and suddenly stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist. His bulging muscles jumped. He smiled at Zhang Jishan and said loudly:
"Zhang Jishan, do you dare to accept my challenge? This survival challenge is a competition. Whoever loses will give the other 100,000."
Li Qing, who was about to return to his own divine realm, looked up in surprise.
Wow, this is a blatant provocation.
He was a little surprised. Is the competition among his tutor's students so fierce? Without any tact.
He knew that Cao Wenyuan would challenge Zhang Jishan, but he thought he would do so two months later. He didn't expect that he would be so impatient after the first class.
However, when he saw that Cao Wenyuan's level had exceeded level 10 and had been promoted to a first-level hero, he knew it.
Although Cao Wenyuan's Steel Armored Giant Bear is only of lower bloodline, this bloodline is definitely stronger than Zhang Jishan's middle bloodline Moon Elf in the early stage.
What’s more crucial is that Zhang Jishan is following the mage route, and he doesn’t have enough mana to advance.
Cao Wenyuan takes the melee route, which has no mana requirements. As long as he accumulates enough combat experience, he can be promoted and gain combat effectiveness early.
The blood essence of the armored giant bear is not too expensive. The difficulty of awakening Cao Wenyuan's bloodline is not high. With sufficient blood essence, it is not difficult to awaken within a few days.
As a result, his strength has already opened up a considerable gap with other apprentices.
A first-level hero with an awakened strong combat bloodline. If the hero's specialty is added to the steel-armored giant bear bloodline talent, and equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment, Cao Wenyuan might be able to challenge the third-level troops at this time.
The future potential of such a configuration will not be too high, but it is enough to defeat the apprentices under Nie Yang.
It can be predicted that Zhang Jishan will not be able to stay in the position of chief for long. If he does not have other trump cards, he will be defeated by Cao Wenyuan in the next challenge.
"I don't know if I'm a strong dragon-blooded fighter!"
Li Qing inexplicably thought of his subordinates who had successfully transformed in the divine realm, and felt itchy in his heart.
He didn't think of challenging Cao Wenyuan right now. Even if the Dragon Blood Fighter was strong enough, there was only one of him. Compared with their at least three or four heroes, he was too weak and he didn't know if he could defeat him.
"We need to find a chance to get another batch of kobolds to extract one or two dragon bloods."
Facing Cao Wenyuan's challenge, Zhang Jishan, who was under everyone's attention, certainly would not back down. He smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to make a throat-cutting gesture.
The other apprentices nearby were very excited to see this scene. The two strongest apprentices openly challenged and accepted the challenge. There was nothing more interesting than this. Even the instructor and several assistants were attracted.
Li Qing watched with interest for a while, and was about to enter his own divine domain when he suddenly felt an undisguised hostile gaze falling on his back. At the same time, a voice sounded behind him:
"Student Li Qing, I am not convinced that you are ranked higher than me. Do you dare to accept my challenge? Whoever loses 100,000 in this class will give the other person 100,000 yuan?"
Li Qing didn't even need to turn around to know that it was Gongsun Jin who was speaking. Only he would be so unconvinced.
He was speechless, but did not give in. He turned his back to Gongsun Jin and nodded:
"Since you can't wait two months, then as you wish, I accept the challenge!"
Winning or losing is one thing, but you can't be a coward in front of so many people.
His plan was to keep a low profile, not to tolerate being bullied without any bottom line.
Although that was also a way of living, it was not the kind of living he wanted.
Obviously I can't beat him, so there's nothing I can do.
But Gongsun Jin...
Although his background is slightly better than mine, it is only slightly better, not to the point of crushing me.
Besides, there are benefits to accepting the challenge. If you win, you can get 100,000 yuan in pocket money.
After preparing for so long, Li Qing still has some confidence in himself.
Accepting the challenge, Gongsun Jin did not continue to provoke, but turned around, opened the divine realm and entered it.
Li Qing clasped his fists and bowed to his mentor, and also opened his own divine realm.
Li Qing could not wait to get into the divine realm and appeared in the core tower of the divine realm. He saw a warrior sitting in the tower...about three meters tall, with muscular body covered with strange patterns , like an iron tower.
The soldier who was sitting there sensed Li Qing's presence and stood up quickly. Li Qing instantly felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards him.
“It worked!”
A hint of joy appeared on Li Qing's face, and he immediately checked its properties.

Even more powerful than Li Qing had imagined, both his strategic hero talent and his combat hero talent were even more powerful than he had imagined.
The strategic hero's talents include 2 points in basic attack and strength, which is twice as strong as Li Qing's pitiful 1 point.
