Slaughtering the Ranks

Demon Abyss C-793826 plane, Fallen Demon Camp.

Originally numbering in the millions, the fallen demons now numbered fewer than 100,000.

All around the camp stood skeleton soldiers.

With such a stark contrast in troop strength, Han Wu knew that it was time to launch the general attack.

He issued his divine decree, and nearly 90,000 skeleton soldiers initiated a final, three-tiered encirclement attack on the Fallen Demon Camp.

Under the command of the extraordinary lifeform: Fallen Demon Priest, the surviving fallen demons put up a desperate fight.

In the blink of an eye, they were overwhelmed by the sheer mass of skeleton soldiers.

Leading the charge, the three extraordinary lifeforms: skeleton knights plunged straight into the ranks of the fallen demons and began a massive slaughter.

With every fallen demon that fell, a skeleton soldier stood back up.

Although the Fallen Demon Priest possessed the ability to resurrect fallen demons, it simply could not keep pace with the speed at which the skeleton knights summoned skeleton soldiers.

In the end, the extraordinary lifeform: Fallen Demon Priest perished under the joint siege of the three skeleton knights.

The mission to purge the fallen demon tribe was successfully completed.

Under the joint summons of the three skeleton knights, a mutated skeleton-race extraordinary lifeform—a Skeleton Reviver—was unexpectedly summoned from the corpse of the Fallen Demon Priest.

Han Wu took in all of its stats at a glance.

Kin Name: Skeleton Reviver
Kin Race: Skeleton Race
Kin Tier: Extraordinary Undead
Kin Talent: Hard Bone, Skeleton Resurrection.
Faith Tier: Pan-Believer.
Faith Power: 500,000/day.

As an extraordinary lifeform of the same skeleton race, the status of the Skeleton Reviver was even higher than that of the skeleton knights.

This was intuitively reflected in the daily faith power it provided.

As soon as the Skeleton Reviver appeared, it first respectfully bowed in submission to Han Wu, who held a higher status within the race, and then extended a bony claw to point at a skeleton soldier that had just been smashed into bone fragments.

The very next instant, the bones of the skeleton soldier reaggregated.

The skeleton soldier that had fallen in battle was resurrected.

Inside the small skull of Han Wu's Skeleton Lord avatar, the soul fire leaped violently.

This Skeleton Reviver has some tricks up its sleeve!

Following the death of the Fallen Demon Priest, the remaining fallen demons were also quickly surrounded and killed.

After searching the fallen demon tribe thoroughly, the skeleton knights turned over all valuable items they found to Han Wu.

Aside from a large batch of worthless cheap goods, Han Wu obtained three decent spoils of war.

Level 1 sacred relic: Fireball Baguette. Effect: After loading into the Divine Realm Core, it allows a portion of core kin to gain the ability to cast Level 1 fireball. The destructive power of the fireball is related to the core kin's own strength. It can also be used as a divine power weapon.

Hero Template Fragment. One-fourth of a hero template. Gathering a complete hero template allows kin to fuse and ascend into heroic lifeforms.

Source of Corruption: Can bestow the power of corruption upon a race. Effect: Immunity to the erosion of demonic Qi, with enhanced resistance to all kinds of negative effects.

Han Wu stared at the last piece of loot, the soul fire inside his skull burning fiercely.

This turned out to be an item capable of triggering a life leap.

It was just that whether it suited the locust retinue required further testing.

Stowing away these spoils, Han Wu looked at the million-plus skeleton soldiers surrounding him, and a surge of boldness arose in his heart.

With this skeleton army, what else did he have to fear!

Zhang Xiaolong's threat vanished into thin air before the million skeleton soldiers.

Han Wu no longer needed to endure in silence; he immediately submitted the mission.

Eighty assessment points and the Level 2 skill crystal: Chain Fireball were his, raising his total assessment points to 220.

Although he was still at the very bottom of the rankings, it signaled that Han Wu had blown the horn for slaughtering the ranks.

He selected a native race of the Demon Abyss located not far away, possessing an assessment point value of 70.

Han Wu issued his divine decree: "Army, move out!"

The million-strong skeleton army surged overwhelmingly toward the target, destroying all races blocking their path like a tidal wave.

In the assessment background room, all homeroom teachers stared at the changes on the leaderboard.

An hour ago, Han Wu's assessment points had changed, rising to 220.

Half an hour ago, Han Wu's assessment points changed once again, rising to 290.

Two hours later, Han Wu's assessment points changed, rising to 420.

Four hours later, Han Wu's assessment points changed, rising to 690.

A day later, Han Wu's assessment points reached 1,180, ranking 54th in the grade.

Two days later, Han Wu's assessment points reached 2,090, ranking 18th in the grade.

Three days later, Han Wu's assessment points reached 2,990, ranking 4th in the grade.

In the span of just three days, Han Wu leaped from the absolute bottom to rank fourth in the grade.

Such a terrifying rate of advancement left all the homeroom teachers speechless.

Only Liu Letian remained stubborn, obstinately saying, "So what if he advanced to fourth place in the grade? It's still not first!"

As soon as his voice fell, the announcement voice of the Director of Studies, Xu Mei, echoed in the minds of the homeroom teachers.

"First-tier institution: Berserker Academy has sent an inquiry message, wishing to meet and talk with student Han Wu in person after the assessment."

"First-tier institution: Hidden Dragon Academy has sent an inquiry message, wishing to meet and talk with student Han Wu in person after the assessment."

"Second-tier institution: Green Mountain Academy has sent a notice stating that as long as student Han Wu agrees, he can bypass the national college entrance examinations and enroll directly."

"Second-tier institution..."

All the homeroom teachers collectively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The assessment hadn't even ended yet, and he had already received this many invitations from institutions of higher learning—his future was simply boundless!

Liu Letian loathed hearing even the slightest bit of good news regarding Han Wu, and immediately roared, "Director Xu, I protest! Why are you only announcing the institutional invitations concerning student Han Wu while omitting those for other students?"

Director Xu Mei was silent for a long time on the other end before replying, "There are currently no institutional invitations for other students."

"How is that possible? Han Wu is currently only in fourth place, and there are still three outstanding students ranked ahead of him," Liu Letian retorted.

Xu Mei replied, "The prerequisite for institutions to send invitations is that the total assessment score must reach 3,000 points, while also requiring the completion of at least one task worth 80 assessment points or more. Currently, only student Han Wu has achieved this."

This time, Liu Letian was struck dumb.

The other homeroom teachers were also left speechless. Tasks worth over 80 assessment points were all tough bones to crack.

They wouldn't be easily completed.

Just as all the homeroom teachers fell silent, Qin Shuang, who ranked eighth in the grade, saw her total assessment score increase by 90 points, pushing her total assessment points past the 3,000 mark.

Immediately afterward, Xu Mei transmitted an institutional invitation: "First-tier institution: Berserker Academy..."

Qin Shuang's feat was merely the beginning.

Following her, several other geniuses from the school successively submitted tasks worth between 80 and 90 assessment points.

The institutional invitations announced by Xu Mei on this side also increased.

Only then did Liu Letian feel a bit better inside.

Over the following days, he kept a constant watch on the task list belonging to Tian Wen's class, and watching one unique task after another get completed and submitted filled him with supreme exhilaration.

Because once the tasks were exhausted, Han Wu would be unable to acquire more assessment points to improve his standing.

If Han Wu failed to secure first place, he, Liu Letian, would be able to obtain 10 points of divinity.

"There are only three tasks left, and the assessment for Tian Wen's class is about to end. Xiaolong, you must work hard to complete your task and absolutely not let Han Wu snatch the lead!" Liu Letian communicated secretly with Zhang Xiaolong, instructing him.

"Understood. I will finish the 90-assessment-point task on my hands before Han Wu arrives," Zhang Xiaolong said solemnly.
