Since the territory of each person is different, Leng Yue and other elders also offered some suggestions. As for the specific situation, it still needs to be arranged according to the conditions of their respective territories.
Everyone was thinking carefully about countermeasures, how to develop and grow stronger, how to gain an advantage, and how to defeat enemies.
But after watching for a while, Zhou Yan asked, "Well, I'm going to rest first. You guys are free to do as you please."
With that, Zhou Yan appeared nonchalant, leaving a group of dumbfounded people behind.
"This guy..." Leng Yue was speechless.
Everyone was racking their brains for good advice to help them become stronger and gain an advantage, but this guy, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.
Unable to stand it, Leng Yue quickly said, "If you can't win the championship, don't come back to the academy!"
This time, it wasn't a confrontation between their entire territories. If it were a confrontation between their own territories, Leng Yue believed that even if the other thirty-nine territories combined attacked Zhou Yan's territory, they might not be able to defeat Zhou Yan.
But this was not the case, so she felt Zhou Yan was a bit too confident.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan turned back and said, "Isn't it just first place? It's not a big deal. Relax..."
Zhou Yan's casual demeanor and confident posture made the other nine people want to beat him up.
Hmph!
They admitted that this guy's territory and soldiers were very strong, but so what? They just didn't like it!
After returning to his room, Zhou Yan checked the time and began to teleport back to his territory.
Although Zhou Yan was confident of winning the academy competition this time, he still needed to arrange things properly, such as how to deploy these twenty thousand people.
Using the [Flying Dragon Legion] would be a waste of talent, completely unnecessary.
Zhou Yan felt that the Four Great Academy Competition had great limitations on his strength.
His territory had too much of a numerical advantage. If it were a direct confrontation between territories, he would not hesitate to let other students team up to fight him.
"For twenty thousand people, at least two thousand auxiliary professionals are needed, especially miners and blacksmiths. Equipment can greatly enhance the combat power of the territory's soldiers. Without equipment, their strength would be reduced by at least half."
Zhou Yan began to summon the officials of his territory to discuss the list of participants for this competition.
The top miners in the territory would definitely be brought along, as would the top blacksmiths, top tailors, top artifact refiners, and so on.
Zhou Yan felt that he might be able to sweep through the entire competition again.
He wondered in what posture he would sweep through them.
Would it be from behind, a direct frontal assault, or perhaps a 'Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus' pose to crush the opponent.
For the commander of this battle, Zhou Yan thought that Sun Wu and Bai Qi were not even needed.
Then, Zhou Yan thought of Chen Qingzhi. His abilities were not much inferior to Bai Qi's, it was just that Bai Qi was more famous. This battle would be entrusted to Chen Qingzhi.
The white-robed scholar-general is coming, heh heh heh! Students, have you prepared your bottoms to be blown out!
"Your subordinate, Chen Qingzhi, greets the Lord." Chen Qingzhi arrived at the [Celestial Emperor's Palace], unaware of what was happening.
Zhou Yan said, "Chen Qingzhi, the Four Great Academies will have a competition tomorrow. This battle will be fully commanded by you. Now I will tell you the specific rules."
After that, Chen Qingzhi took a seat, and Zhou Yan explained the specific rules to him. After hearing them, Chen Qingzhi had a plan.
"What armies and what people you need are all up to you to arrange. I want to hear your opinion," Zhou Yan said.
Chen Qingzhi nodded and then said, "We don't need other armies for this. I think the [White Robe Ghost Soldiers] under my command are enough."
"Besides the White Robe Ghost Soldiers, auxiliary professionals are also very important. However, does the Lord hope for what kind of performance I should achieve to win this competition?"
This question was profound. With the territory's strength, if they wanted to win decisively, Chen Qingzhi would make some adjustments, using a combination of different soldiers to crush all enemies.
If they didn't want to be so aggressive, they could proceed step by step, and they would still win, just slower.
"Is it okay to be just about right? Those students are not having an easy time either. Let's not discourage them too much," Zhou Yan said.
After all, ten of them were his classmates. Defeating them too badly seemed a bit too much of bullying.
Fortunately, others didn't know about Zhou Yan's thoughts, or they would have cursed him loudly!
"Your subordinate understands. Then, all the [White Robe Ghost Soldiers] under my command will be summoned," Chen Qingzhi said.
"Besides two thousand auxiliary professionals, all others will be [White Robe Ghost Soldiers]. Go back and prepare. We need to participate around 8 AM tomorrow. As for other generals, you can choose any of the territory's generals," Zhou Yan said.
"Yes." Chen Qingzhi nodded and then left the [Celestial Emperor's Palace].
This great battle would not require a strategist. Dealing with a group of students, if a strategist were still needed, wouldn't those students be wiped out even faster?
After the arrangements were made, someone had already notified Ou Yezi and other auxiliary professionals. These top talents would definitely be summoned. They could increase the forging speed by a hundredfold and improve their forging proficiency significantly. This could not be wasted.
After the discussion, Zhou Yan went to his harem, but found no one there. They had all gone to the [Cultivation Secret Realm] to cultivate.
This wouldn't do. He also needed to cultivate, so Zhou Yan went to the [Lingxiao Palace] but didn't find Nangong Pu She and the others either.
After all, the time ratio in the [Cultivation Secret Realm] was too powerful. Killing monsters and cultivating there was much better than outside.
Several cultivation buildings in the territory, [Closed-door Cultivation Room], [Cultivation Secret Realm], and [Buzhou Mountain], all had people from the territory.
Zhou Yan went to the [Cultivation Secret Realm], checked the resources, and found that it could be upgraded again. Thus, he began to upgrade this building.
After upgrading it to level 72, the resources were insufficient again.
At this time, the time ratio in the [Cultivation Secret Realm] had increased to 14:1 again compared to the outside.
As for the [Buzhou Mountain] building, there were very few people because the level of this building was still very low.
Looking at the materials for [Buzhou Mountain], there were quite a few high-level materials, but not many low-level materials. This made Zhou Yan speechless. He couldn't even get low-level materials.
The lowest were four-star quality divine soil materials; there were no two-star or three-star ones at all.
But Zhou Yan found that it could still be upgraded, so he curiously upgraded it by one level.
He found that using high-level materials to upgrade was also possible, and the consumption of materials was relatively less. Therefore, Zhou Yan upgraded the level of [Buzhou Mountain] to 55.
