Task in Progress

Option 1: Locust Avatar.

Option 2: Ember Dwarf Avatar.

Option 3: Sword Wind Tribe Avatar.

Option 4: Skeleton Lord Avatar (Weakened) (Incomplete) (Sealed).

The Retinue Avatar options were generated by statistically analyzing all the Retinue species within Han Wu's Divine Realm.

Han Wu's first instinct was to discard the Locust Avatar.

Choosing the Locust Avatar, which could only self-destruct, would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

The Ember Dwarf Avatar was far superior to the Locust Avatar, but it paled in comparison to the Sword Wind Tribe Avatar that came later.

Han Wu was torn between the Sword Wind Tribe Avatar and the Skeleton Lord Avatar.

The Sword Wind Tribe Avatar was a legitimate Hero-level lifeform, possessing extremely high combat capabilities and truly being a terrifying existence capable of fighting a thousand enemies alone.

But the Skeleton Lord Avatar in Option 4 was a Lord-level entity!

Higher than Hero-level!

Furthermore, it belonged to the undead, capable of resisting the Demonic Energy within the Abyssal Realm.

Even though the three severe negative status effects it came with significantly impacted its strength, its overall advantage still outweighed that of the Sword Wind Tribe.

After much deliberation, Han Wu made his choice.

He would choose the Skeleton Lord Avatar!

The next moment, his body shrank to one meter, his flesh and blood dissipated, leaving behind only bone as white as jade.

Han Wu now looked exactly like a small skeleton.

Han Wu touched his bare skull, and Soul Fire burned silently in his hollow eye sockets.

The Demonic Energy swirling in the air had no adverse effect on him; instead, it made him feel quite comfortable.

"The Abyssal Realm truly is a paradise for the undead and demons," Han Wu marveled inwardly.

After selecting his avatar, Han Wu began summoning his retinue.

The examination rules stipulated that participating students could only summon their retinue once per day, with a limit of 100 individuals per summon.

Therefore, Han Wu summoned 100 Gluttonous Locusts, each an Elite lifeform, to test the waters.

Upon being teleported to the Abyssal Realm plane, the 100 Gluttonous Locusts were immediately subjected to the erosion of Demonic Energy.

Within an hour, 94 of the 100 Gluttonous Locusts had died. Of the remaining six, three were on the verge of death, while the other three were infected by Demonic Energy and were mutating into Demonic Locusts.

Han Wu had anticipated this outcome.

Demonic Energy was like poison to living beings.

The best way to avoid being fatally eroded by Demonic Energy was to transform into a Demonic Creature.

However, once creatures were demonized, they often lost their sanity and became brutally violent.

But this was not an issue for locusts.

Because locusts inherently lacked intelligence, even after being demonized, they would still loyally obey the commands of Han Wu, their god.

Only after the three locusts completed their mutation did Han Wu officially begin his assessment journey.

By observing his surroundings and cross-referencing with the map provided in the examination materials, he roughly determined his current location.

Accessing his quest log, Han Wu quickly identified the surrounding tasks.

Quest 49: Collect 100 Bone Demon Fruits... Reward: 20 Assessment Points.

Quest 280: Clear out the Flesh Puppet nest... Reward: 60 Assessment Points, one random Level 1 Holy Relic.

Quest 423: Mine 100 Demonic Flame Ore... Reward: 50 Assessment Points, one random Faith Equipment.

Among the three quests, collecting Bone Demon Fruits was the simplest, so Han Wu decided to tackle that first.

Following the map's directions, Han Wu, accompanied by the three Demonic Locusts, arrived at a dark forest.

On the black trees, fruits with black skins bearing skull patterns were the Bone Demon Fruits mentioned in the quest.

Han Wu, currently a small skeletal frame, found it inconvenient to climb trees, so he had the three Demonic Locusts pick the fruits for him.

Compared to ordinary locusts, Demonic Locusts possessed sharper serrated mandibles.

They were very fast and managed to bite off 100 Bone Demon Fruits.

Han Wu piled them together, sealed them into a card, and was just about to submit the quest.

Sounds of low growls echoed from beneath the ground.

Han Wu looked down and saw corpses crawling out of the earth.

Some were severely decomposed, leaving only bare bones. Others still retained some rotten flesh, surrounded by a foul green stench.

Fortunately, Han Wu, in his Skeleton Lord avatar state, had no nose, or he would have been nearly suffocated by the stench of these corpses.

These corpses lacked intelligence, retaining only their instinct to attack.

They slowly ambled towards Han Wu.

Han Wu was just about to test the strength of this Retinue avatar.

He raised his small claw, charged forward with a swift step, and directly pierced the chest of a Corpse.

Corpse were Undead; even having their heart removed was equivalent to nothing for them.

It still had the strength to swing its arm at Han Wu, intending to strike back.

How could Han Wu let a mere Corpse have its way? He swatted its head off with a claw.

Without its head, the Corpse finally died.

Han Wu repeated the process, easily eliminating the 20 Corpse that crawled out of the ground before finally gaining a moment of peace.

"Seriously, 20 assessment points for so much trouble. Just how difficult must the highest-scoring 100-point mission be?" Han Wu stored the Bone Demon Fruit in a Card, submitted the mission, obtained the points, and then searched through the mission list.

He finally discovered a mission worth 100 assessment points.

Mission 500: Eliminate the Dark Frogman Demigod... Reward: 100 assessment points, 1 Divinity, 1000 class points.

"It's actually to kill a Demigod, I'm scared, I'm scared. I'll just honestly do missions and save up points." Han Wu admitted defeat.

Even the weakest Demigod possessed 5 Divinity and commanded at least tens of thousands of followers.

This was not something Han Wu, who currently only had 3 Demonic Locusts, could afford to provoke.

Closing the mission list, Han Wu saw the 3 Demonic Locusts gnawing on the corpses of the Corpse.

He immediately felt a bit nauseous.

Even though he didn't have an organ like a stomach anymore.

Looking back at the forest, there were still many Bone Demon Fruits on the black trees.

Han Wu's mind raced, and an idea struck him.

He immediately commanded the Demonic Locusts to pick all the Bone Demon Fruits in this forest.

The three Demonic Locusts could only temporarily abandon their meal and diligently carried out Han Wu's orders.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and all the Bone Demon Fruits in the forest were gathered in Han Wu's hands.

He sealed every 100 Bone Demon Fruits into a Card, ultimately collecting 40 Cards.

From another perspective, this was perhaps 800 assessment points.

Mission 49 was a repeatable mission, and everyone could complete it once.

Although Han Wu could no longer submit it.

His other classmates could.

Trading some supplies for 20 assessment points, he believed other classmates would be willing.

With that thought, Han Wu brought up the communication interface and opened the class group chat.

"Anyone want to buy 100 Bone Demon Fruits for Mission 49? Bartering is also acceptable."

As soon as the message was sent, the entire group fell into a deathly silence.

After a full 10 seconds, before they could even receive a warning from their homeroom teacher, Tian Wen, the group exploded.

"You can play it like this? Is this cheating? This is cheating!"

"You know nothing, this is called resource integration. Great God Han, I want a portion of Bone Demon Fruit, I'll offer 50 Divine Power."

"I'll take one too, I'll offer 50 Divine Power."

"Only resources obtained in this plane are allowed for trading. Violators will receive one warning, and three warnings will result in disqualification from the assessment." Homeroom teacher Tian Wen finally responded.

Instantly, the group became even livelier. Many classmates traded with Han Wu, and Han Wu responded to each one.

"30 portions of Dark Frogman skin for one portion of Bone Demon Fruit, deal?" "Deal."

"100 Zombie Fangs for one portion of Bone Demon Fruit." "Deal."

"20 Black Death Grass for one portion of Bone Demon Fruit, please!" "Scram!"

Staring at the communication interface, Zhang Xiaolong, who had transformed into an Abyssal Dragon, sneered in his heart: "I was just wondering how to find you, and you dare to reveal your location. Let's see how you die this time!"

With that, Zhang Xiaolong charged towards Han Wu's location.

Behind Zhang Xiaolong, 100 Hellhounds followed closely.
