Right at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the playground's high platform and slowly descended.
"I am Yang Wanli, the Dean of Students of our school. Students, throughout your entire third year of high school, you will face a total of three examinations."
The initial Divine Kingdom battle, the mid-term streaming major examination, and the final College Entrance Examination.
Today is the first one, and I believe every student understands its importance in your hearts.
"Before the examination, on behalf of our school, I would first like to welcome our guests." Yang Wanli snapped his fingers, and soft, melodious light music resounded from all directions.
"Luo Family Elder, Luo Chengfeng, welcome to our school."
"Li Clan Elder, Li Yuan, welcome to our school."
"Liangzhou Chamber of Commerce President, Mi Cairu."
"Blacksmith Association President, Tie Wuqing."
"Zhongyuan Tower boss, Wan Sanqian."
...
Yang Wanli called out the names very quickly. As soon as one was finished reading, a person would teleport to a seat on the high platform.
As expected of Yang County No. 1 Middle School, the highest institution of learning in the county, quite a few big figures were present for such a large-scale examination.
In the past, Yang Fan had only seen these people on the front page headlines of local news; this was his first time seeing them in reality.
After reading out the guests, Yang Wanli gracefully performed a gentleman's bow to everyone on the stage, then turned around, opened his arms, and said in a passionate tone: "You are students of Yang County No. 1 Middle School, the prodigy of Yang County, and today's examination is the most important opportunity in your lives."
"The bosses behind me come from various industries and families in Yang County. They will spare their precious time to follow the examination process from beginning to end. Those with outstanding grades will have the opportunity to receive investments from major companies."
"You are the glory of No. 1 Middle School, the future of Yang County, and the flowers of the Human Race. The future belongs to you."
"Next, let us welcome Principal Hong."
As his voice fell, a figure suddenly appeared in the topmost master seat without any aura fluctuations.
The principal of Yang County No. 1 Middle School was also the deputy magistrate of Yang County. Backed by the Federal Government and possessing the strength of a Tier 3 God, this person was definitely a figure standing at the very top of the pyramid in Yang County.
"The assessment content is very simple. There is no limit to the number of believers, no limit to combat methods, and you can use all means. There are a total of ten days."
"One Tier 1 Demonic Beast is worth one hundred points, a Tier 2 Demonic Beast is worth ten thousand points, and a Tier 3 Demonic Beast is worth one million points. In the end, rankings will be based on scores."
"To show encouragement, after research and decision by the school committee, the scores will be exchanged 1:1 for Faith Points at the end of the examination and deposited into everyone's divine kingdoms." Hong Bing finished stating the rules, and gently waved his right hand, and nutrient pods filled with green liquid accurately landed in front of every student.
"Considering that you are still Divine Beings, going without food for a long time poses a life threat, so nutrient pods will be used as a substitute. Sleep inside them, empty your minds, and your consciousness will naturally enter my divine kingdom."
The examination venue was within an Alien Divine Kingdom, with an area of over 100 million square kilometers. It was simply impossible to fully explore it in ten years of the divine kingdom.
And in the Real World, going ten days without drinking water or eating food would pose a life threat even for Divine Beings.
The nutrient pods were produced from the divine kingdom of Mechanical Civilization and were originally used to mass-cultivate ordinary believers. Unexpectedly, they were now actually providing nutrition to Divine Beings like them.
The nutrient pods were simple to operate: open the cabin door and lie inside. Clearly being a green liquid, it did not affect breathing at all.
Yang Fan entered it, emptied his mind, and his consciousness quickly appeared in an open space.
Looking at the surrounding environment, he instinctively touched the ground with his hand, only to find that his right hand passed right through it.
"Is it just a pure consciousness projection? However, I can connect to my own divine kingdom at any time, and all kinds of Resources and believers can be deployed without any restrictions." Yang Fan instinctively understood the rules of this place.
"Release the restrictions of the divine kingdom, make the coordinates public, and other gods can freely enter and exit. So that's how it is."
Yang Fan used his consciousness to communicate with his divine kingdom, summoning the Divine Revelation Army, Azure Dragon Army, White Tiger Army, Vermilion Bird Army, and Black Tortoise Army all to this place.
"Greetings, my God." The 50,000-strong army simultaneously saluted Yang Fan.
"This place is where we battle the alien races. You will split into five routes and advance in a fan shape. Encountering any Demonic Beast, execute them all without exception."
"Obey the Divine Decree."
According to market prices, each Tier 1 Demonic Beast was worth less than 10 Faith Points, but this assessment rewarded 100 Faith Points per beast.
Not only could he get high scores to attract the attention of major families, but he could also earn Resources along the way. Naturally, Yang Fan had to farm to his heart's content; opportunities to earn Faith Points like this were rare.
In addition, Yang Fan could sense that no outsiders were prying into his divine kingdom, so he directly activated his Evolution Talent.
War would inevitably incur losses. With the help of Evolution Talent, his divine kingdom could continuously provide sources of troops and food.
The students participating in the assessment did not know that at this moment, a huge celestial screen had appeared in the sky of Yang County No. 1 Middle School, capturing the performance of all students in full view.
"Is this the prodigy female of the Luo Family? She has actually already birthed a Tier 3 being; the first place in the assessment is beyond doubt."
In everyone's sight, Luo Bing's soldiers totaled 100,000 strong. The leading general held a white long spear, and his Tier 3 aura was fully exposed. Standing behind him were nearly twenty Tier 2 Beings, and among them, Tier 1 Beings reached as high as a thousand.
Not only that, everyone was well-equipped, and their gleaming silver-white armor was boundless as far as the eye could see.
Such combat power was too much of a cliff-like lead.
"Elder Luo, congratulations. I didn't expect that another such prodigy figure would appear in the Luo Family in this generation. Give her a hundred years, and she will probably breakthrough into a God." Mi Cairu exclaimed with emotion.
"Thank you for your kind words, President Mi." Luo Chengfeng revealed a professional smile.
"Li Tianheng of the Li Clan is also quite good. Although his believers have not yet produced a Tier 3 being, his talent is said to be Berserk Blood, which can instantly increase his believers' combat power by 50%. As for his true strength, throughout the entire third-year high school grade, probably only Luo Bing can steadily defeat him."
"And this one named Lifeng, is he preparing to go the Mechanical route..."
"Yang County No. 1 Middle School is brimming with talent this year."
...
Zhongyuan Tower boss Wan Sanqian chuckled and said, "I won't dare to dream about those geniuses in Class 1. I just hope that the ordinary classes can also produce some good seedlings."
"I wonder what the weight of the contracts Boss Wan has prepared this time is?" Tie Wuqing probed.
"As long as they have the ability, I can afford the price."
"What a big spender!"
"No choice, we encountered an accident during land reclamation last year, and twelve demigod executives died inexplicably. Now there is a severe shortage of middle management in the company. If we don't cultivate newcomers in advance, we'll face a shortage of successors." Wan Sanqian spread his hands somewhat helplessly.
On the playground of No. 1 Middle School, less than an hour after the assessment started, some students had already actively opened the nutrient pods and climbed out.
More and more people came out, and in less than half a day, fifty percent of the students had already given up.
Everyone was unsurprised by this. For students developing their divine kingdoms with logistics as their purpose, this assessment was just a formality.
Those students who finished did not leave right away; instead, they curiously looked at the sky, after all, some of them were their friends.
They just took this opportunity to see to what extent their own brothers' divine kingdoms had developed.
