Phase Two Assessment

"Very good. I saw everyone's performance just now."

"I have to say, some of you performed so outstandingly that even I was astonished."

"Especially Chen Changhe."

"Remarkable!"

As he spoke, Zheng Dongfeng looked at Chen Changhe, making no attempt to hide his admiration.

Aside from him, nearly all the teachers and students had also focused their attention on Chen Changhe.

They did not know whether Chen Changhe had passed the eleventh round of assessment.

Zheng Dongfeng had not mentioned it to anyone.

Other than him, Shan Mu, the only other person qualified to watch Chen Changhe's assessment, had likewise said nothing.

But the fact that he was the only student in the entire school to undergo the eleventh round was enough to prove how strong Chen Changhe was now.

Most students were merely curious and envious.

Only Zhou Yongcan looked pale.

Taking advantage of no one paying attention, he quietly squeezed out of the crowd.

There was no way he was going to eat shit while standing on his head.

Besides, he had only agreed to put on a performance.

He had never said when.

Wanted to watch him eat shit while standing on his head?

Maybe in the next life!

"But... how did Chen Changhe suddenly become so strong?"

"So unfair!"

Zheng Dongfeng looked around, sweeping his pressure-filled gaze over all the students before speaking in a deep voice.

"The first phase of this assessment has ended. Congratulations to those who passed five rounds of testing. You have successfully earned your College Entrance Examination qualifications."

"Students who did not pass five rounds, please leave first. Contact your homeroom teachers afterward to discuss your future development plans."

"The green hills remain, and the waters flow on. As long as there is hope, there is a future. I look forward to seeing you still have the chance to become deities someday."

"The school will next send each of the remaining students a number. That number represents your ranking in the first phase of the assessment."

"Take a look. Students ranked below one hundred, please leave as well."

"Your assessment ends here. You may choose to study independently in the library or go home directly."

"Students ranked within the top one hundred, come with me."

Chen Changhe did not look at his number.

He was undoubtedly ranked first. What was there to look at?

He followed behind the despondent Shan Mu as they headed with Zheng Dongfeng toward a small building at the back of the school.

"Chen Changhe... can you sell me some of your Goblins?"

In the end, Shan Mu could not hold himself back.

The Snotling Orks had performed far too brilliantly.

Even though they were only Ordinary Lifeform followers.

Most of Shan Mu's Elite Lifeform followers could not compare to them.

Shan Mu's core followers were Goblins.

If he could obtain Snotling Orks, he would surely be able to research something from them.

Perhaps they could even help him advance another step.

"I can offer a high price. As long as I have it, just name it!"

Shan Mu added.

Chen Changhe shook his head.

"I'm sorry... Teacher Shan Mu... they aren't for sale."

The Snotling Orks were not true Goblins.

They were a race that was half fungus and half Ork.

Even if Shan Mu got the Snotling Orks, they would be useless to him.

More importantly, the Snotling Orks were one of Chen Changhe's most important secrets at this stage.

He could not possibly sell them to anyone.

"I see!"

Shan Mu nodded without pressing the matter.

He had a suspicion that Chen Changhe's Goblins might be a new species.

A new species referred to an entirely new species that had never appeared in the world of deities.

Such species often possessed greater potential and brighter prospects.

Compared with ordinary species, they were far more worth cultivating and superior in every regard.

More importantly.

Once someone obtained a new species, they had a chance of acquiring Creator Divinity.

Deities possessing Creator Divinity had absolute control over the races they created.

They could obtain absolute authority.

This was the highest-tier Divine Authority among racial Divine Authorities.

That Goblin Overlord was a deity who possessed Creator Divinity.

The species he created was the Dark Goblins.

"If that's really the case... Chen Changhe might very well become the second Goblin Overlord."

If Chen Changhe truly became the second Goblin Overlord, then as Chen Changhe's teacher...

Even if he had only been Chen Changhe's teacher for a few months.

It would still be the glory of his lifetime.

Before long, Chen Changhe and the others reached their destination.

They stopped in a room, and a teleportation array stood in its center.

"The second phase of the assessment will take place in a plane under my control."

"You should know that I have been conquering a small plane during this period."

"That campaign is already in its final stages. The deities have been slain, leaving only a few Demigods behind."

"The next test will be held in that plane. Your task is to take down the remaining Demigods."

"Your rankings will be determined according to your performance."

"Relatively speaking, that plane is not very dangerous now, but that does not mean there is no danger."

"So, you will need to sign a liability waiver before being teleported to that plane for the test."

"Since you will be entering in your true bodies, you will only have around ten minutes each day to communicate with your Divine Domains."

"Please arrange your communication time carefully to avoid affecting your assessment results."

"My personal suggestion is that you bring some Troop Divine Cards into the plane first."

"That way, you can gain a certain advantage early on."

"I must especially emphasize that although we will monitor your safety within the plane from outside, we cannot guarantee everyone's safety."

"If you are not especially confident in your strength, you may choose to withdraw from the next phase of the assessment."

"Do not worry about being treated differently for withdrawing. By standing here, you have already surpassed most of the students in the school."

"The school will definitely focus on nurturing you. Knowing where your limits lie is also an important quality of an outstanding student."

Zheng Dongfeng's words dispelled the concerns of many students.

More than a dozen students left the room.

"Very good. Those who left are certainly wise, but those who remained are even more courageous."

"Sometimes, being able to do something and daring to do it are two different things."

"I like wise people, but I admire warriors even more."

"There are Divine Domain Login Pods in the room on the left. You may enter your Divine Domains to seal Troop Divine Cards."

"It does not matter if you do not know how to seal Troop Divine Cards. The school will provide each of you with a foolproof One-Click Sealing God Card."

"You have ten minutes to prepare. Ten minutes from now, we will officially begin the teleportation."

Although Chen Changhe collected a One-Click Sealing God Card, he did not return to his Divine Domain.

The troops in the God Card he had on hand were already enough.

Soon, ten minutes passed.

The remaining eighty-odd students returned to the room.

The teleportation array activated.

One by one, Chen Changhe and the others entered the teleportation array and were sent into the small plane Zheng Dongfeng's group had conquered.

This plane was located in the SB-451574 region of the Outer Domain.

It was a small plane originally jointly governed by three deities with Lesser Divine Power.

Now, all three deities with Lesser Divine Power had been slain by Zheng Dongfeng's group.

Though they were both deities with Lesser Divine Power, those of the Blue Star Divine Civilization were far stronger than wild deities with Lesser Divine Power.

Although the deities were dead, quite a few Demigod alien races remained alive.

They were the test Zheng Dongfeng had left for the students.

According to Zheng Dongfeng's introduction, the plane covered over one million square kilometers.

It had a vast sea and a landmass occupying roughly thirty percent of the plane.

Besides humans, many other species lived here.

Beastfolk, Elves, Dwarfs...

As well as the Sea God who occupied the ocean.

The original three deities with Lesser Divine Power were respectively the Beast God of the Beastfolk, the Elven Goddess of the Elves, and the strongest among them, the Sea God.

With their deities gone, the native inhabitants had only some Demigods and their followers left to struggle on.

Chen Changhe and the others were tasked with killing those Demigods, finishing the work for Zheng Dongfeng's group to fully take over the plane.

Standing on an island, Chen Changhe looked at the mission he had just received.

Assessment rankings used a mission point system. Completing missions earned corresponding points and rewards.

Different landing locations allowed participants to accept different missions.

Chen Changhe had landed on an island in the vast sea.

Therefore, his next mission was related to Fishmen.

Mission 1: Slaughter Fishmen

The Fishmen were followers of the Sea God Peter Wilson.

After Peter Wilson was killed, the Fishmen began worshipping the Fishman Demigod Katherine Dobbs.

Katherine Dobbs was the most beautiful mermaid in this plane.

She had been the concubine of the Sea God Peter Wilson.

After Peter Wilson's death, she became the ruler of the ocean in this plane.

She was plotting to become a god and resist the deities of Blue Star Civilization.

Clearly, that was nothing more than wishful thinking.

Kill 3,000 Fishmen to warn Katherine Dobbs.

Mission reward: 60 points.

This mission put Chen Changhe in a difficult position.

If his current location had been on land.

With the Snotling Orks he had on hand, he could have slaughtered his way through everything.

Unless he directly encountered a Demigod, nothing would be able to stop him.

Completing the mission would have been effortless.

But he was currently on an island.

And it was a deserted island.

There was nothing around except reefs.

The Snotling Orks were not skilled at naval combat either.

Completing the mission would not be easy.

Chen Changhe found himself at an impasse.

"Since I can't solve it anytime soon, I'll wait and see..."

Chen Changhe simply communicated with his Divine Domain.

He summoned a large number of Snotling Orks.

Together with the Orks inside the Troop Divine Cards, he gathered tens of thousands of units.

As soon as these Snotling Orks entered the plane, they diligently began construction.

Before long, they built a temporary base.

Chen Changhe had already surveyed the area.

Although his location was a deserted island, it had a fairly sizable iron mine.

Since they were idle anyway.

He might as well have his followers mine iron.

Zheng Dongfeng had never said that gathering resources from the plane was forbidden during this assessment.

That meant they were allowed to gather them.

What his Divine Domain lacked most was iron ore.

They could replenish supplies here and have the Gretchin Orks make better weapons and equipment.

Zheng Dongfeng watched all of this from outside.

His beard nearly stood on end with rage.

"The brat isn't thinking about how to solve his predicament and escape the island—he's only thinking about taking advantage!"

"What utterly hopeless material!"

Still, Chen Changhe was truly unlucky.

This plane was so vast.

Yet the place where he appeared at random was this awkward.

"It seems Chen Changhe has no chance of taking first place this time..."

"That's a good thing too. It'll keep that brat from getting too full of himself."

"Luck is also part of strength."

"That brat must always maintain a reverent heart."

Zheng Dongfeng was already over three hundred years old.

Over his long life, he had seen countless geniuses.

But not all of them had managed to rise above the rest.

Only those with talent, reverence, humility, and patience had the chance to stand out.

When he was young, he had crossed paths with the Goblin Overlord.

Back then, the Goblin Overlord was known as "Luo Chuan the Big Fool."

But hundreds of years had passed.

Those who had mocked him had all become bones in the earth.

Only the Goblin Overlord had risen above the rest, becoming a powerful God King.

When Zheng Dongfeng looked at Chen Changhe, it was as if he were seeing the Goblin Overlord in his youth.

But compared to the Goblin Overlord back then,

Chen Changhe possessed far too much sharpness.

What is too rigid is easily broken; excessive brilliance invites harm.

Letting him suffer a few setbacks was not necessarily a bad thing.

"Isn't it just two points of Divinity?"

"I'll find a chance to make it up to him later!"

"An opportunity like this to improve himself is far more important than a mere two points of Divinity!"
