The strongest reaction naturally came from this class's Homeroom Teacher, Liu Letian.
Han Wu's performance was plain for all to see. If he continued developing steadily, he would definitely make it into a first-rate academy—perhaps even have a shot at a top-tier one.
Liu Letian would be able to bask in some of Han Wu's glory as well and receive rewards from the school.
If Han Wu really transferred classes, wouldn't the reward already at his lips fly away?
Liu Letian hurriedly put on his kindest expression and persuaded him. "Student Han Wu, I admit that I did not pay much attention to you before. I apologize to you here. But your performance today has made me see you in a new light. I promise that I will teach you properly from now on. A suitable share of the daily teaching resources will also be directed your way."
"So please trust your teacher as well, and give me a chance to correct my mistake."
To keep Han Wu from leaving, Liu Letian had lowered his stance considerably.
But Han Wu did not accept Liu Letian's belated apology.
With the ability Life Sacrifice, he did not care about any preferential allocation of resources.
He simply could not stand the sight of Liu Letian.
"I request a class transfer," Han Wu reiterated.
Liu Letian's face turned green, then purple. Han Wu's actions were no different from slapping him across the face in front of all the students.
"Student Han Wu, changing classes is not something you can do just because you want to. The school has its rules," Xu Mei said.
But before Liu Letian could rejoice, Xu Mei changed the subject. "If you truly wish to transfer classes, then you must pass a test arranged by the school. As long as you pass it, I can handle the transfer procedures for you."
"Then I apply to take the test," Han Wu said firmly.
As soon as his words fell, Qin Shuang suddenly stood up as well. "Director Xu, I want to apply for the test too."
Liu Letian was practically going mad.
Though he was reluctant to let Han Wu transfer, it was not yet to the point where he could not bear to give him up.
But if Qin Shuang transferred too, he would suffer a massive loss.
Han Wu was merely a promising prospect; no one yet knew how far he might go in the future.
Qin Shuang, however, was a genuine top student, firmly among the top five in the grade. At the very least, she could enter a first-rate academy, and with enough effort, she might even compete for a place at a top-tier academy.
More importantly, Qin Shuang's family wielded enormous influence and owned countless businesses.
As Qin Shuang's teacher, with that connection in place, Liu Letian could reap quite a few benefits.
If Qin Shuang left, Liu Letian would absolutely suffer devastating losses.
"Student Qin Shuang, if there is anything about your teacher that you are dissatisfied with, you can say it. I will definitely change. There is no need for us to make things so serious as transferring classes," Liu Letian said, forcing out a smile as he tried to keep her.
"There's nothing I'm dissatisfied with. I just don't want to stay here anymore." Qin Shuang directly shattered Liu Letian's hopes.
Xu Mei knew full well that Qin Shuang came from a powerful family and did not wish to offend her, so she could only agree. "I'll arrange the test for both of you tomorrow."
Just as Xu Mei was about to leave after saying that, another student called out to stop her.
"Director Xu, I also apply to take the test."
Liu Letian looked at the student and was nearly moved to tears.
This student was named Zhang Xiaolong. He was the class monitor, his overall strength securely placing him in the top ten of the grade, and he had always been Liu Letian's trusted confidant.
"Xiaolong, why are you joining in this mess?" Liu Letian's voice carried a sob.
He had been counting on Qin Shuang and Zhang Xiaolong to win him some bonuses at graduation, but he had never expected them both to be clamoring to transfer now.
"Teacher Liu, thank you for your care and guidance these past days, but I can't remain in this class any longer," Zhang Xiaolong said seriously. As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Shuang twice.
He had secretly been in love with Qin Shuang for a long time, yet had never managed to win her heart.
Now that Qin Shuang was transferring, he naturally had to follow her, lest someone beat him to the punch.
Xu Mei shot Liu Letian an unhappy glare. Two top students voluntarily seeking transfers was enough to show Liu Letian's shortcomings in teaching.
"I'll prepare the test for you tomorrow. Teacher Liu, come with me."
With that, Xu Mei left the classroom without looking back, while Liu Letian followed behind her like a lost soul.
The day's classes ended quickly.
After school, Han Wu was just about to teleport home when Qin Shuang rushed up to him and demanded, "Han Wu, tell me—what is going on with your Heroic Lifeform?"
Han Wu frowned slightly. "That has nothing to do with you, does it?"
"Of course it has something to do with me. You still owe me 150 points of divine power. If you can't pay it back, you'll have to become my slave to repay the debt. So I have the right to know where your Heroic Lifeform came from!" Qin Shuang argued shamelessly.
Han Wu was even more speechless after hearing that. He owed only 150 points of divine power, and she wanted him to become a slave to repay it? That was fucking insulting!
Somewhat angered, he said, "If you want to collect the debt, I can first repay you 5 points of divine power as interest. But if you want information about my Heroic Lifeform, then there is nothing I can tell you."
Having said that, Han Wu did not wait for Qin Shuang's reply. His figure vanished from his seat; he had clearly teleported home.
"Damn it!" Qin Shuang was so angry that she slammed the desk.
She felt that Han Wu had been born to oppose her.
Meanwhile, after returning home, Han Wu grabbed a quick bite to eat before climbing into the God Login Pod to check on the current state of his divine domain.
After a fierce battle, the numbers of Explosive Locusts and Bursting Locusts in the divine domain had sharply decreased.
Forty percent of the ordinary locust eggs had been rendered inactive by the battle's fallout.
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was just renamed!
Of the remaining sixty percent, only twenty percent successfully hatched into larvae.
After being raised, there were currently one billion ordinary locusts in Han Wu's divine realm.
The Explosive Locusts had recovered to one million, while the Bursting Locusts numbered only a paltry thirty thousand.
With this little military strength, Han Wu truly had no confidence in facing tomorrow's test.
At that moment, Iron Cutting Sword Wind sensed Han Wu's arrival and took the initiative to pray, "Great God, the fleeing Wolf Riders are hiding in the mines. Shall we go and wipe them out?"
Only then did Han Wu remember that the Wolf Riders had not been completely exterminated. Several dozen had escaped.
Those kin of Zhang Gang's left in his divine realm would ultimately become a scourge. They had to be eradicated as soon as possible.
But killing them outright would be somewhat wasteful.
Thus, Han Wu issued a Divine Decree to Iron Cutting Sword Wind. "Go capture those Wolf Riders. Make sure they stay alive—I have great use for them."
Having received Han Wu's Divine Decree, Iron Cutting Sword Wind immediately sprang into action.
Within a few days, he had captured all the Wolf Riders, bound them together, and delivered them to Han Wu.
As the time reached 23:40, Han Wu once again used Life Sacrifice, offering up more than one billion ordinary locusts and several dozen Wolf Riders.
The several dozen Wolf Riders transformed into several dozen clusters of vigorous life force and flowed into the sacrificial formation. Their total was no less than the life force of two billion locusts.
When the sacrificial ritual ended, three products appeared before Han Wu.
Option One: Alpha Mech, a mechanical creation comparable to an Extraordinary Lifeform.
Option Two: Level 1 Great Smelter Blueprint, capable of constructing an enormous smelter that could forge Faith Equipment at its highest level.
Option Three: Watchtowers, three in total. They provided far-reaching vision to guard against enemy invasion.
Looking at the three options, Han Wu could not help but wonder whether he had used up all his luck. Not one of the three options suited him.
The Alpha Mech could rival an Extraordinary Lifeform. It sounded great, but Han Wu's Core Kin were locusts. They had no intelligence—how could they pilot a mech?
The Level 1 Great Smelter Blueprint could build a huge smelter to forge equipment, making it auxiliary construction suited to forging logistics. It was still of little use to Han Wu. His Core Kin were locusts—was he supposed to expect locusts to forge equipment?
As for the watchtowers, they were even more unnecessary.
Han Wu's divine realm now covered only 160 square kilometers. Its length and width were no more than fourteen kilometers, and most of it was plains. One glance could see all the way to the end; the visibility was beyond reproach. Building watchtowers would be like farting after taking off his pants.
But at the mention of forging, Han Wu remembered the eight hundred dwarf captives he had tossed into the mining area of his divine realm to dig ore.
How were they doing now?
Han Wu instinctively sent his consciousness over.
To his surprise, he discovered that these dwarves were actually living quite well!
There had originally been only eight hundred dwarves, yet in less than two years of divine realm time, they had multiplied to nine hundred.
They had even voluntarily forged the minerals they mined into all manner of weapons and stored them away, ready for Han Wu, their god, to take whenever he wished.
"Are dwarves really this reasonable?" Han Wu murmured in surprise, projecting his consciousness before an elderly dwarf.
This elderly dwarf was a General Believer. The moment he saw Han Wu's projected consciousness, he realized that the figure before him was a god.
The elderly dwarf immediately shifted his short, stout body and knelt before Han Wu. "God, thank you for bestowing such a wonderful life upon us."
Han Wu was even more puzzled. Ever since he had captured the dwarf prisoners, he had issued only one command: make the dwarves mine ore.
Moreover, in Han Wu's mind, these dwarves were merely reserve lifeforms for sacrifice. He had given them no special treatment whatsoever, let alone anything that could be called a wonderful life.
Using the methods of a god, Han Wu read the elderly dwarf's memories and finally understood his words.
Back when they had been in Zhang Bin's divine realm, although the dwarves were Core Kin, they had not lived well.
Zhang Bin demanded that every citizen become a soldier. Every dwarf, from the moment of birth, had to suppress their love for forging equipment and undergo mandatory militarized training. Many dwarves died during training while still young.
But after Han Wu had taken them into his divine realm, these dwarves no longer needed to endure strict military control and could do whatever they loved as they pleased.
Mining and forging equipment were precisely what they loved most.
Moreover, the mining area bordered the forest area, making food easy for them to find and sufficient to ensure their survival.
Compared to Zhang Bin's divine realm, this was simply paradise.
Seeing that the dwarves possessed such awareness, Han Wu gained an insight.
Why not tame these dwarves for his own use, making them ordinary kin to provide logistical support?
At the very least, they were highly gifted at forging equipment.
Having made up his mind, Han Wu chose from among the three options.
He chose the Great Smelter Blueprint.
Han Wu then entrusted the task of building the Great Smelter to the dwarves.
The moment they heard that their god had bestowed a divine gift to help them forge even better, every dwarf was ecstatic. The General Believers directly became True Believers, and their Faith Power surged by a great deal.
Taken together, it was another considerable gain.
Han Wu smiled, and his figure vanished before the dwarves' eyes.
He still had something even more important to do next.
That was to frantically raise troops and prepare for tomorrow's test.
