The Value of Divinity

Back in the classroom.

Homeroom teacher Tian Wen swept his gaze over the remaining forty-two students in the room.

"The unified exam is a dividing line in high school. I believe those of you who remained are all elites..."

After a round of morale-boosting encouragement, Tian Wen announced loudly, "Now, let's invite the top three students in our class to come up and receive their class rewards."

Under the gazes of their classmates, Han Wu, Qin Shuang, and a student named Xu Sun walked to the front.

Han Wu was first in the class and first in the grade.

Qin Shuang was second in the class and second in the grade.

Xu Sun was third in the class and fifth in the grade.

Zhang Xiaolong, who was also quite capable, ranked fourth in the class and ninth in the grade. It was still a fine result, but not enough to earn class commendation.

Tian Wen opened the class resource list and displayed it before all the students.

He wanted every student to see with their own eyes that outstanding students could receive generous rewards, using that to spur the others onward.

"Student Han Wu shone brilliantly in this unified exam and achieved first place. His class reward is 100 Class Points, along with the right to choose any one item from the class's Advanced Resource Treasury," Tian Wen announced.

The students below were stunned by their homeroom teacher's generosity.

Class resources were divided into two types. One was public resources, including Level 1 holy relics, basic resources, low-quality Divine Realm Territories, and many other universal resources, all exchangeable with Class Points.

The other type was advanced resources, stored in the class's Advanced Resource Treasury. The resources within could not be exchanged with Class Points. The school had specially set them aside to accelerate the cultivation of top students.

Han Wu swept his eyes over the list in the Advanced Resource Treasury.

There were only six resources listed: the Level 2 holy relic Giant's Fist, Life Fountain, Mysterious Iron Ore Core, the Level 2 skill Frozen Missile, the Level 2 building Goblin Nest (Normal Lifeform), and the Extraordinary Lifeform Liger.

Of the six resources, some could directly increase one's strength, while others possessed enormous potential for development.

After three seconds of thought, Han Wu made his decision.

He chose the Life Fountain.

Life Fountain: It could erupt with large quantities of spring water containing Life Energy, nourishing life and improving the surrounding environment.

As long as he placed the Life Fountain within his Divine Realm, it could directly benefit Han Wu's Core Kin: Locusts.

From a long-term perspective, its overall value far surpassed that of the other five resources.

Tian Wen watched Han Wu make his choice with a gratified expression.

Han Wu had not stubbornly pursued overwhelming combat power. Instead, he could recognize his own strengths and build upon them.

Tian Wen thought highly of that.

After Han Wu chose his reward, Qin Shuang and Xu Sun each received their class rewards as well.

Qin Shuang received 80 Class Points, along with the Level 2 building Goblin Nest.

Xu Sun received 60 Class Points, along with the Extraordinary Lifeform Liger.

The students who had not received rewards all cast envious looks at the three of them.

After collecting his reward and returning to his seat, Han Wu had barely sat down when he received a voice message from Xu Sun.

"Student Han Wu, sell me that bit of divinity you obtained in the unified exam. I'll exchange 105 million divine power for it. We can make the deal right now."

Han Wu frowned.

Transactions between classmates were common, but that commanding tone was truly irritating.

Besides, a bit of divinity was condensed from 100 million divine power.

Xu Sun was actually willing to offer an extra 5 million divine power. Did his family have so much money that it was burning a hole in his pocket?

Han Wu did not think Xu Sun was a spendthrift.

There had to be something wrong with this proposed deal.

Seeing that Han Wu had yet to reply, Xu Sun urged, "What's there to hesitate about? As long as you agree, 105 million divine power will be yours. That divine power is enough for you to buy a Locust Life Leap route and change your fate."

Han Wu sneered.

Xu Sun's anxious urging confirmed one thing for Han Wu: there was definitely a trap in the offer.

"I don't agree," Han Wu flatly refused.

"110 million divine power. Once this chance passes, there won't be another!"

"Heh." Han Wu used just one word to make his stance clear.

Xu Sun ground his teeth in rage.

His Lineage had nineteen demigods and one quasi-true god. Calling their influence sky-reaching was no exaggeration.

But what did Han Wu's family have?

Who had given him the courage to dare say "heh" to him?!

"Student Han Wu, my grandfather is preparing to advance to a true god and urgently needs divinity. Sell me that bit of divinity, and aside from the divine power, you'll have a favor from me." In order to obtain the divinity, Xu Sun patiently sent Han Wu another voice message.

Han Wu was somewhat tempted.

110 million divine power was absolutely an enormous sum. If he obtained it, he could increase the number of Locusts his Divine Realm could support by dozens of times.

At that point, would divinity still be scarce?

Just as Han Wu was preparing to accept Xu Sun's offer, another private message arrived.

It was from Qin Shuang.

"For that bit of divinity you gained in the unified exam, I'll offer 150 million divine power. Do you agree?"

Han Wu was completely dumbfounded.

150 million divine power.

It was a full 40 million divine power higher than Xu Sun's offer.

Was Qin Shuang really that rich?

Moreover, this price had already far exceeded the value of a bit of divinity itself.

Why was Qin Shuang spending fifty percent more divine power to buy a bit of divinity?

Han Wu could not help asking, "Isn't a bit of divinity worth 100 million divine power?"

Very quickly, he received Qin Shuang's reply.

"Don't you even know this much common sense? A bit of divinity can indeed be condensed with 100 million divine power, but that is only under the condition that a god produces and consumes it themselves. In other words, they use the Faith Power generated by their own kin to condense divine power, then use it to condense their own divinity."

"If Faith Power from other gods is mixed in, the success rate of condensing divinity will drop drastically."

"The current market price of divinity is 145 million divine power, and even then, it's something money can't buy."

After hearing Qin Shuang's explanation, Han Wu immediately realized the value of divinity.

At the same time, he came to his senses.

That brat Xu Sun had actually tried to openly take advantage of him.

Who the hell could tolerate that?

Han Wu directly replied to Xu Sun with one word: "Scram!"

When Xu Sun received the reply, his lungs nearly burst from rage.

"Han Wu, don't think you can act so arrogant just because you took first place in the unified exam through tricks. Just you wait..."
