The lessons covered battles and how to survive over there.
However, Feng Wu had skipped too many grades.
No one else had ever made such rapid progress.
She was a student of Class A, but she had never attended any classes – of course she wouldn’t know those things.
Therefore, Chen Ziyun filled her in on the essentials.
The battlefield was only 500 km from Northern Border City.
Because things had been intense recently, both sides had built fortresses 30 km from their borders.
The Junwu and Dongsang fortresses were only 60 km apart.
The war wasn’t what Feng Wu had imagined.
There had been no large-scale battle, and the skirmishes were confined to local areas, so only cultivators had been involved.
Northern Feng General’s army had been stationed here mainly as a deterrent.
Chen Ziyun said, “Most of our cultivators come from Military Academy and Imperial College.”
Not everybody in the empire was capable enough to cultivate.
Only a handful were qualified to do that, and even fewer were considered talented.
A very small percentage of cultivators could get into Imperial College or the Military Academy.
It was the same situation in the Dongsang Kingdom.
Therefore, the war between cultivators involved fewer than a thousand people.
Chen Ziyun said, “Most Imperial College students come from intermediate schools, whereas the Military Academy mainly recruits from the military service.
“Here in Peace Grassland, Northern Feng General holds supreme command on our side.
“Below him are the principals of Imperial College and the Military Academy.
“The three of them are at the top of the hierarchy, and they’re all Spiritual Saints. They seldom participate in battles. They’re only there as a deterrent.
“If they participated, Peace Grassland wouldn’t be big enough to withstand their power.
“After that are the elders, who are Spiritual Overlords. Elder Wu is an intermediate Spiritual Overlord, and one of the other elders is a peak Spiritual Overlord. I’ll tell you more about it when we have time.
“We Spiritual King students are below the elders.
“We belonged to the Spiritual Lord group before we rose to the Spiritual King stage. Most graduates are Spiritual Kings. That’s right. Most people end up on this battlefield after they graduate.
“Only peak Spiritual Lord students from Class A are qualified to train themselves in Peace Grassland. They won’t participate in dangerous battles. They’re there to train and survive. They’ll only join the main force when they become Spiritual Kings.”
Just then, the portal opened.
Chen Ziyun stepped outside, and Feng Wu opened her eyes.
She saw green.
Everywhere she turned, she saw an endless green.
In front of her was a fortress.
The walls were at least 50 m tall, and she seemed tiny in comparison.
“This is our fortress, and the Dongsang fortress is over there,” said Chen Ziyun. “Here on the flat grassland, you can easily see things 60 km away.”
It wasn’t completely flat. She could see trees in the north, but they were only a little over 10 m tall.
She didn’t have time to say anything, because something suddenly happened.
