A Small Request

In the school's dean's office, Zhang Bin's parents wore furious expressions.

"My son's Divine Realm core is shattered, with no possibility of repair. Doesn't the school owe me an explanation!" Zhang Bin's father, Zhang Gang, roared.

Dean Xu Mei explained from the side, "As far as we know, this invasion was initiated by your son, Zhang Bin, and student Zhang Bin has a record of multiple violations for bullying other students..."

Zhang Gang abruptly stood up, his Demigod aura washing over them.

"What? Are you implying my son's Divine Realm core shattered entirely because he brought it upon himself? Does the school bear no responsibility at all? Don't you teachers have any responsibility?"

Xu Mei was also a Demigod, but her specialization was in logistics and support, making her aura vastly inferior to Zhang Gang's.

"Mr. Zhang, that's not what I meant. Regarding the incident where student Zhang Bin's Divine Realm core was shattered, the school has decided to offer a bit of Divinity as compensation. While it cannot make up for the loss, it is the school's gesture of goodwill."

"Not enough!" Upon hearing about the compensation of Divinity, Zhang Gang's anger subsided slightly, but he remained unsatisfied.

A bit of Divinity was equivalent to one hundred million Divine Power, which translated to one hundred million trillion Faith Power. For a Demigod like him, who specialized in aggression, it wasn't a particularly precious resource.

Zhang Bin's mother, Du Rong, also chimed in, "Besides the compensation of Divinity, the student who shattered my son's Divine Realm core must also be punished! They must be expelled!"

Xu Mei frowned. Expulsion would mean the school's protection over Han Wu would be lifted, leaving the powerless Han Wu at the mercy of this couple.

If this demand had been made before she noticed Han Wu cultivating elite Explosive Locusts, she would not have hesitated and would have expelled Han Wu immediately.

A powerless and incompetent student was dispensable to the school.

But now, the video of Han Wu defeating Zhang Bin had spread throughout the entire grade.

The vast majority of teachers believed Han Wu was a promising talent, whose potential was not to be underestimated if he could increase the number of Explosive Locusts.

He could even break into the top twenty of the grade.

It was because Han Wu was such an outstanding student that Xu Mei hesitated to punish him.

After all, looking at the entire incident, Han Wu's actions, though somewhat aggressive, were not entirely without merit.

After a few seconds of thought, Xu Mei stated decisively, "I'm afraid I cannot grant your request."

"What, you're actually shielding a bad student who shattered another student's Divine Realm core? Is this your school's educational philosophy?" Du Rong angrily stood up, pointing at Xu Mei's face and yelling.

Xu Mei's expression turned serious. "Ms. Du, please do not confuse the facts. Student Han Wu has always been a law-abiding and well-behaved student. We have plenty of evidence to prove that your son, Zhang Bin, has bullied this student multiple times."

"Don't give me that nonsense. I'll ask you one question: are you punishing Han Wu or not?" Du Rong demanded angrily.

However, she was ultimately not a Demigod, and her aura had no effect on Xu Mei.

"Sorry, we cannot do that." Xu Mei refused crisply.

Du Rong could only turn to Zhang Gang, "Gang, say something! Zhang Bin is your son too. Can you bear to see your son wronged and do nothing?"

Zhang Gang took a deep breath. "Director Xu, I can accept the school not severely punishing Han Wu, but as the victim, I need to vent my anger! If you don't even agree to this small request, then I will no longer consider the school's reputation."

Zhang Gang's words were tactful, but the underlying meaning was that if Xu Mei did not agree to his small request, he would disregard the school's warning and take action against Han Wu himself.

With his Demigod status, even if he killed Han Wu in reality, it would only result in a symbolic monetary penalty.

Han Wu had no background. Even if he died, who would seek justice for him? The outcome would simply be swept under the rug.

But Xu Mei, as the dean, greatly appreciated Han Wu, this emerging talent. She did not want to see Han Wu killed.

"Then what does Mr. Zhang intend to do?"

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"It's simple. I'll send a thousand-man team to invade his Divine Realm. Regardless of the outcome, we won't pursue this matter further," Zhang Gang said.

A thousand-man team might not sound like much.

But remember, this thousand-man team belongs to a Demigod.

Its strength is by no means comparable to a novice like Zhang Bin, who had only recently opened his Divine Realm.

Seeing Zhang Gang's resolute attitude, Xu Mei knew he would not back down.

"I will notify student Han Wu. As for whether he agrees, he can decide for himself," Xu Mei could only say.

"I have limited time, I'll wait only one day. If there's no result tomorrow, I will take action myself," Zhang Gang said, then he, along with his wife and son, disappeared from the office.

Xu Mei sighed, "A Demigod's thousand-man team is equivalent to fifty thousand regular troops for an ordinary student. Han Wu, can you withstand it?"

Meanwhile, Han Wu had ample land resources and food supply.

Within the limits of what the environment could bear, he repeatedly used his Growth Acceleration ability, causing the number of Locusts in his Divine Realm to skyrocket.

The total number of Locusts in his Divine Realm had reached an astonishing 4.812 billion.

Of these, 4.8 billion were ordinary Locusts, 5.7 million were ordinary Locusts enhanced with fire attributes, 5.8 million were elite Explosive Locusts, and 500,000 were Bursting Locusts that had undergone dual enhancement.

In addition, there were nearly ten billion Locust eggs waiting to hatch in his Divine Realm.

If not for the fact that the Divine Realm environment could not sustain ten billion Locusts, Han Wu would have definitely accelerated the hatching of these eggs.

Just as Han Wu was preparing to use Life Sacrifice again, a video call request popped up.

The note indicated it was from Dean Xu Mei.

Considering Xu Mei was a school leader, Han Wu chose to accept the call.

The blue light screen displayed Xu Mei's image. She relayed Zhang Bin's father, Zhang Gang's, demand and stated that this was the maximum protection the school could offer him.

Han Wu knew clearly that Xu Mei was telling the truth.

If the school truly didn't want him, they could have just sent him an expulsion notice. Why would they have Zhang Gang go through the trouble of pretending to make demands to get his revenge?

But a thousand-man legion cultivated by a Demigod, was that easy to deal with?

Even with Han Wu's current 500,000 Bursting Locusts, he couldn't guarantee he could resist successfully.

But it had come to this, and Han Wu had no right to refuse.

Otherwise, what awaited him would be assassination by a Demigod.

"Thank you for your help, Director Xu. I will go to the school tomorrow to face this challenge," Han Wu replied, ending the video call.

The current time was 11:30 PM in the real world.

It was time for the second Life Sacrifice.

Han Wu raised his hand, and the massive array for Life Sacrifice appeared.

4.8 billion ordinary Locusts, plus 5.7 million fire-attribute enhanced Locusts, flowed into the array as Life Energy.

When the sacrifice ended, three products appeared before Han Wu.

After seeing the descriptions of the three products, Han Wu's eyes lit up.

"A treasure obtained in exchange for 4.8 billion Locusts, it's indeed not bad."
