"Ender Royce, I didn't expect that after only three years of not seeing you, you've already become a Planetary-Level Domain Genius at the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp."
Ian transmitted, "I heard your name a year ago and thought it was just a namesake. I didn't expect it to really be you."
To be honest, when he heard that a Planetary-Level Domain Genius named Ender Royce had entered the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, he really thought it was a namesake.
When he left Kuka Planet, Ender was only Apprentice-level, but in just over three years, he had grown to such an extent. This kind of Genius truly surprised him!
Ender transmitted back, "Mentor Ian, long time no see."
"You don't need to call me mentor anymore. I'm no longer a mentor at Morning Light Academy, but like you, I'm a student at the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp."
Ian asked, "Are you also here to snatch the map?"
"Everyone who comes here is here to snatch the map, and we are naturally no exception."
"Ender, how about we join forces?"
"Join forces…"
Ender was somewhat moved by Ian's suggestion because the latter had helped him when he was a mentor at Morning Light Academy, and he owed him a favor because of it.
Now that there was an opportunity to repay this favor, and joining forces would be beneficial to him and Rolando, he naturally leaned towards joining forces, but he had to see the conditions the other party proposed first.
So, Ender asked, "How do you want to join forces?"
"Today you help us get the map, and tomorrow we'll help you get the map."
Ian said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, among the Domain-level students present, it's not just the three of us, but also Domain-level students from two other Stellar Training Camps."
Upon hearing this, Ender silently pondered, "If it were just the three Domain-level individuals present, if I really went all out, with Rolando assisting from the side, I might not necessarily be unable to defeat them."
"But the current situation is that not only are there the three Domain-level individuals, but also Domain-level students from other Stellar Training Camps present. Making a move to snatch it might result in a situation where the snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman benefits."
Ender transmitted Ian's suggestion to join forces to Rolando and informed him of the conditions for joining forces.
Rolando's face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this, and he quickly transmitted, "Join forces! Of course we should join forces!
"Their strength is very strong; it will be difficult for us to defeat them with our strength."
"Strong?" Ender knew very little about the Domain-level students of the Stellar Training Camp and asked curiously, "How strong?"
"Cortinia and Akum are both at Domain-level Two," Rolando replied. "As for that Ian, he's incredibly strong. When he first entered our Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp, his Domain cultivation was already extremely deep. It's said that he was already at Domain-level Four when he first came in!"
"Entering the Stellar Training Camp already at Domain-level Four!"
Ender was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected the former Morning Light Academy mentor to be so strong.
"It seems this former Morning Light Academy mentor is not simple!"
Suddenly, he realized, "Speaking of which, to be able to cultivate a Domain-level Four expert like Ian, his teacher, Kuka Planet Governor Lorenzo, must also be extraordinary."
Ian transmitted, "How have you considered it? Are you willing to join forces?"
Ender transmitted back, "We agree to join forces."
"Very good." There was a hint of joy in Ian's voice, "You can just come over."
Upon hearing this, Ender transmitted to Rolando, "Let's go over."
The two flew towards the three in the center, not moving fast.
"Hmm?"
Ender and Rolando's actions attracted the attention of the surrounding forty-odd people.
A student asked in confusion, "Are they going to make a move?"
"They're moving so slowly, it doesn't look like they're going to make a move." Another person replied with a grim expression, "Instead, it looks like they're going to join forces!"
"Join forces! Does that mean today's map will fall into their hands?"
Seeing Ender and Rolando slowly flying towards the three in the center, the other students naturally understood that these five people were going to join forces.
"Five Domain-level students joining forces!" "Let's go! Today's map is out of the question."
Seeing the five Domain-level students join forces, several small teams from the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp turned and left. They had no hope for today's map.
"Someone from the Sand Sea Stellar Cultivation Camp left!"
"They left without even making a move. Could it be that these five people are all Domain-level students?"
"Should we try to test them?"
The students from the other two major Stellar Training Camps speculated, but no one was willing to make the first move.
Because among the two newcomers, one was using a Second-Order Spiritual Weapon, the Blood Edge Blade. If a fight broke out and they didn't hold back, it could result in serious injury at best, or death at worst!
"Rolando!"
Ender transmitted to Rolando, "Unleash your Domain and let them retreat in the face of difficulty."
"No problem."
Rolando was willing to make a move. Among the five, his Domain was the weakest, and it was a rare opportunity to unleash his Domain to threaten the students from other Stellar Training Camps.
The Domain unfolded, and a green light extended from Rolando outwards, suppressing everything it covered!
"It's a Domain!"
"Among these two newcomers, one is a Domain-level student! What about the other one…"
"Could it be that these five people are really all Domain-level students?"
The students from the other two major Stellar Training Camps had varied expressions. They looked at each other and saw the intention to retreat in each other's eyes.
"What should we do! The other side has five Domain-level students!"
"Five Domain-level ones! And one of them has a Second-Order Spiritual Weapon. I'm afraid there's no chance."
The Domain-level students from the other two major Stellar Training Camps, who were about to join forces, saw one of the five unleash a Domain, while the other four remained calm, knowing that it would be difficult for them to snatch the map from these five, and couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.
"Let's go, we'll let them have today's map!"
A Domain-level student took the lead and left, and the others, seeing a Domain-level student leave, also retreated one after another.
Cortinia, the female in Ian's trio, smiled and said, "They're gone."
Akum nodded, "The map is in hand. We just need to wait for the map to unlock."
"Ender, Rolando, thank you for your help today." Ian thanked Ender and Rolando, then invited them, "According to the rules set by the Stellar Training Camp, map sharing cannot exceed three people, but you can act with us, and tomorrow we will help you acquire the map."
Ender and Rolando exchanged glances and gladly accepted Ian's invitation, understanding his meaning.
Due to the rules, map sharing could not exceed three people, but they could act together with Ian's trio. If their collection targets happened to be the same, they would profit.
…
Thus, the five acted together.
Before the map was released on the morning of the second day, Ian's trio collected more than ten types of mission targets, and Ender and Rolando also followed along and collected several types.
As the map was released and the coordinates announced, the five finally stopped their collection efforts.
"The map has been released, let's go!"
The five flew together towards the map coordinates. This time, their luck was good; they were very close to the map's release coordinates.
Unfortunately, when they arrived at the map coordinates, someone had already obtained the map one step ahead of them.
