Chapter 14: Anguish and Victory

The power of his real body was immense. After all, he was a divine life, and he had the home ground advantage. By himself, he could easily annihilate these 200 Serpentmen.

However, if he were to attack with his real body, the Serpentmen Demigod hidden behind the Serpentmen would for sure seize the opportunity to attack. How could he, a puny little divine life match up against a demigod?

With his teacher watching him from the side, his Divinity wouldn’t be dispossessed by the Serpentmen Demigod. However, his vitality would be greatly damaged, and this, to new-born divine lives like him, was fatal.

Fortunately, his Spawn were performing well. Even when faced with the powerful Serpentmen, they weren’t intimidated in the slightest.

The uncommon ability Salted Fish Spike had also given them the power to retaliate. Charging forward, wave after wave, each of them was able to inflict massive damage onto their targets. As the Murlocs died on the battlefield, they were accompanied by the fall of Serpentmen.

The number of Serpentmen was much lower than the Murlocs. For every Serpentmen that fell, a portion of their strength would be weakened.

When the Threads of Worship in Lin Xiao’s consciousness had reduced to little over 400, almost half of the Serpentmen have fallen. Most importantly, almost all the remaining Serpentmen were wounded, and almost all the injuries were penetrative.

The outcome was seemingly certain.

He breathed a sigh of relief. This was within his expectations.

It was certain that the individual combat power of Murlocs was inferior to the Serpentmen. However, with home ground and number advantage, the Serpentmen couldn’t afford to trade one life for another.

One after another, the injured Serpentmen fell to the ground under the Murlocs’ follow-up attack. Though Murlocs were constantly being killed by counterattacks, the frequency of their deaths was far less terrifying than the first wave. Compared to the 1:2 ratio of the first wave, the trade was only at a 1:1 ratio about now, which all were basically the Serpentmen’s final counterattack prior to their deaths.

He couldn’t do anything about it. Although the burst damage of the ability, Salted Fish Spike, was massive, the sequelae were also immense.

With the stamina of Murlocs, after the surge of power, they could hardly even keep their feet on the ground. Either the enemy died, or they would.

As the Serpentmen fell one after the other, the outcome of the battle gradually became clearer. Seeing the victory was around the corner, Lin Xiao’s gloomy spirit due to the huge losses of believers became slightly better.

Although his losses were massive, compared to the usefulness of the 5-Star Divine Realm Card, these losses were still worth something.

Everything went as expected after that. The portal that summoned the Serpentmen was in fact, just a single card, whose rules only allowed 220 Serpentmen, consisting of 200 regular Serpentmen and 20 level-2 Serpentmen Leaders to pass through. Even a True God couldn’t break that rule and send more of their subordinates over.

Therefore, as more and more Serpentmen fell, the surviving Serpentmen were surrounded. With the Essence of Seawater to allow the Murlocs to quickly recover from the weakened state upon performing a burst attack, they once again charged into the battlefield with the Salted Fish Spike, striking down the Serpentmen one after another.

In just a brief while, the remaining ten Serpentmen Leaders were trapped amid a massive mobs of Murlocs. Courtesy of their powerful physique, they weren’t dead yet, but it was only a matter of time.

At that moment, Lin Xiao once again unleashed a large area-of-effect Essence of Seawater to recover the stamina and wounds of his Spawns. Adding this to the Mystical Power, Tide Summon which he cast earlier on, he had used a whole 300,000 points of Worship Value in this battle. After just a little amount of time, there were only 200,000 points left of his previously accumulated 500,000 points of Worship Value.

These consumptions were all necessary and very cost-effective.

As long as the remaining Murlocs could survive, each of them was a Devout Believer, and all of them had accumulated enough combat experience to be upgraded into level-1 Murloc Fighters. There were even quite a number of them whose combat experience accumulated was sufficient for them to be upgraded into level-2 Murloc Warriors.

Judging on the combat power of these Serpentmen Leaders, one would know that it was equivalent to that of a level-2 Murloc Warrior. Maybe they couldn’t be compared to the Serpentmen due to race difference, but when placed among the students of tenth grade, it could definitely be considered an elite-level combat power.

After all, everybody’s Spawn were low-level races like Murlocs. Six of one compared to half a dozen of the other, all of their combat power was pretty mediocre.

Beyond the Divine Realm, the expression of tutor Zhen Wenzhuo, who had been watching the entire battle, could be described as astonished.

Before the battle commenced, he didn’t feel that Lin Xiao could pass this bonus test at all. At the beginning, he was still thinking about when would this black horse of the placement test, who usually kept a low profile, seek him out for assistance.

However, the outcome of the battle was completely beyond his expectation.

This student actually used the a-life-for-a-life war tactic to exhaust his enemies to death at the expense of a massive number of his Spawn.

While more than 370 Murlocs perished in the battle and even more were injured, they forced these 220 Serpentmen to fight to the death. This was something that he never expected.

He literally…

After the thought hovered around his mind for a very long time, he suddenly said with a smile, “Has a bright future!”

“A bright future indeed!”

Class teacher Wu Hai’s figure appeared out of nowhere. The card to summon the Serpentmen was his, so he certainly knew that the Serpentmen he summoned were dying. He immediately came from the Divine Realm of another student which he had high expectations for.

He had no interest in knowing why this student had been so low-key in the past, nor was he interested in exploring why this student which had average grades became so good all in a sudden. He only cared about the fact that this student’s current performance was brilliant.

After the bonus test was over, with that Divine Realm Card, Lin Xiao’s Divine Realm would gain a massive plot of fertile land.

The expansion of the Divine Realm was one thing. The most important thing was that the additional land was no longer ocean area. This one battle had solved the inherent limitations of Lin Xiao’s original Divine Realm.

A Divine Realm with one type of terrain had almost no potential. For a better future, development had to be diversified.

With this new piece of land, about one half of the original area of the Divine Realm, Lin Xiao could develop a second land-type race in his Divine Realm in the future.

The battle in the Divine Realm was about to end. Only two Serpentmen Leaders, drenched in blood, were still stubbornly resisting. Their deaths were only a matter of time.

Class teacher Wu Hai said to his class assistant with a smile, “Looks like we’ll have a black horse in this placement test.”

“Well, this is a great thing, isn’t it?”

“You watched the entire battle just now. What do you feel about this student’s potential?”

Zheng Wenzhuo thought for a moment, and stretched out four fingers, “I would give him a four-star as of now. Although his Spawn are nothing impressive, that ability he loaded into them is way too overpowered. If he has a chance to acquire a Bloodline Card to strengthen the race in the future, his potential will increase by leaps and bounds.”

“Mm, that depends entirely on himself.”

Wu Hai didn’t possess a Bloodline Card, but the school did. As long as a student’s performance and potential meet the requirements, they could apply for this extremely rare card type from the school.

The premise of all this was performance and potential.

With Lin Xiao’s current potential, he wasn’t eligible to apply for that rare card just yet.

“The battle is ending.”

Within the Divine Realm, the Murloc leader abruptly grew enraged when the last Serpentmen Leader hacked a Murloc to death and stabbed a spear through his neck. A burst of blood splattered all over his face.

Not far away, the last level-2 Serpentmen Priest held on until the very end with his level-1 Spell Shield. But with the Murlocs viciously slamming into his shield, even a level-2 Divine Technique wouldn’t ward off the attacks for too long. The shield was on the verge of shattering.

The outcome was a foregone conclusion.

Lin Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
