How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible

Seeing Wang Zhenyu brimming with fighting spirit, Li Shuhao looked embarrassed.

Have I been showing off too much lately? I won't end up provoking him later, will I? Li Shuhao felt some regret.

The former Li Shuhao had been a distant, practically unrelated relative of the Li Family. He had not even received a living allowance, and his parents were merely Divine Lifeforms. His family circumstances had not been much better than Yang Fan's.

In such an environment, he had kept an extremely low profile at school. But ever since he awakened the Class C talent Steel Body, the Li Family had immediately acknowledged him as one of their own.

Resources had been poured into his Divine Kingdom without restraint. The Class One geniuses whom he could once only watch from afar had begun taking the initiative to greet him.

Li Shuhao was merely a young man under twenty. Such a dramatic shift in status naturally left him walking on air, and showing off before his classmates had become his greatest pleasure lately.

After showing off too much, even Li Shuhao found it somewhat dull. He had even been reflecting on it recently.

People do not fear scarcity, but unfairness. Have I gone too far before these former friends?

Li Shuhao coughed and said, "It is indeed impressive, but I do have Lineage investment behind me. In the early stages of Divine Kingdom development, I'm still bound to be a step ahead."

The test was about to begin. Before the Federation Artificial Lifeform, there would be no secrets within his Divine Kingdom, so he gave Wang Zhenyu a heads-up in advance to keep him from breaking down.

His recognition by the Li Family was no secret. With the Li Family's resources as cover, even if he won the assessment, the other party would not lose too much face.

It was not that he was stronger than me—it was merely that his fate was better. People often comforted themselves this way.

"Next, Li Shuhao," Li Qingying announced.

Li Qingying had originally intended to save Li Shuhao for last. In her heart, his Divine Kingdom's Prosperity should have been the undisputed first place.

But according to the Ministry of Education's awakening evaluation rankings, Li Shuhao was behind Yang Fan, so she could not easily alter the order.

Once the Artificial Lifeform entered his Divine Kingdom, the detailed data appeared before everyone.

Divine Lord: Li Shuhao

Follower Population

Follower Identity: Ancient Humans

Strength: Federation Body-Tempering Art, Class C technique Muscle-Tendon Cleansing Art, Class C technique Muscle-Tendon Scripture, D-rank martial skill Tiger Roar Fist Technique, D-rank martial skill Light Body Formula

Buildings: Class C Building Wine Pool and Meat Forest ×50, Class C Building Training Room ×5, Class C Building Moonwell ×2, Class C Building Sun Spring ×2, B-rank building Hundred Spirits Blood Pool ×1

Assets: Bodhi Treasure Snake (×100,000, First-Order Demon Beast), Flesh Ganoderma (×Class C Spirit Plant), Soul-Nourishing Wood (×Class C Spirit Plant), Moteng (×1,000,000, E-rank Spirit Plant)

Overall Evaluation: The Divine Kingdom's ecosystem is at its stability threshold. Even with a wildly proliferating plant like Moteng, it still cannot provide fodder for several million herbivorous animals.

Suggestion: There are too many Bodhi Treasure Snakes. At such high-density communal living, they have even begun moving in groups. Followers suffer losses every time they hunt them. It is recommended to reduce their number to 50,000 and purchase other First-Order Demon Beasts. Mixing the blood of different Demon Beasts will enhance the Hundred Spirits Blood Pool's effects.

Prosperity Evaluation: 12.3

The scene fell silent for a moment, then cheers erupted.

"Brother Li is awesome! He even has a B-rank building—just as expected of a genius from a great Lineage."

"While you were all spacing out, I looked it up. This Hundred Spirits Blood Pool can extract the blood and flesh from Demon Beast corpses and condense them into Blood Pills. Not only can they be consumed by followers to enhance their strength, they can also be listed directly in the marketplace for sale. Big data calculations put its annualized return rate as high as 54.6%."

"No wonder Brother Li is raising so many Bodhi Treasure Snakes."

"In less than a month, his followers have already become Ancient Humans. That's outrageous. Last year, even among Yang County No. 1 High School's graduates, some students still had Barbarian followers."

"Brother Li, are you still accepting Subordinate Gods? How about giving your brother here a lift?"

The scene instantly became lively. After all, the things written on that giant screen were simply too extravagant.

Li Shuhao took a deep breath and maintained his expression, doing his best not to look too proud.

He knew clearly that his achievements in such a short time all depended on the B-rank building, the Hundred Spirits Blood Pool.

It had been bestowed upon him by a Li Family elder when he was acknowledged as part of the family. It was precisely because of that enormous quantity of Blood Pills that his followers' strength had risen so quickly.

How lonely it is to be invincible, Li Shuhao sighed inwardly.

In another half year, the classes would be divided. By then, he would have to compete with those monsters in Senior Year Class One. His days of showing off were growing fewer and fewer.

Below the stage, Wang Zhenyu clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them. His expression was no longer conflicted.

An overwhelming gap had its benefits too—it made people unable to summon any desire to resist.

Li Shuhao is right. He has the Li Family's investment behind him. No matter how hard I work, I can never catch up. It isn't that I'm inferior to him; his fate is simply better, Wang Zhenyu sighed inwardly. He no longer felt jealousy, only envy.

Yang Fan was not as fanatical as the others, but seeing that B-rank building, he felt envious as well.

The higher a building's rank, the more its effects and earning capacity multiplied exponentially.

"Brother Yang, Li Shuhao might not measure up to the monsters in Class One's top ten, but he's definitely a genius-level figure. Being his Subordinate God wouldn't be a loss. If you get the chance, how about recommending me too?" Zhang Pang said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

Before Yang Fan could reply, Li Qingying's shout rang out.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. In the early stages of Divine Kingdom development, resources have the greatest influence. Even a genius with a Rank A talent, if born into a commoner family, could not surpass the trash of a great Lineage. Keep your usual composure. Divine Kingdom development is a long war," Li Qingying comforted Yang Fan as she looked at him standing before her.

Even many weak Demigods did not possess B-rank buildings. No wonder the gap had been pulled so wide.

Yang Fan nodded lightly, then removed the restrictions and allowed the Artificial Lifeform to inspect his Divine Kingdom's data.

Before this, Yang Fan had already stopped the tenfold Evolution.

Though he had never heard of an Artificial Lifeform leaking Divine Kingdom secrets, Yang Fan would not take such a risk.

Aside from his SSS-rank talent, the development of his Divine Kingdom might shock people, but it would definitely not exceed the bounds of comprehension. For now, there was no need to hide it.

Divine Lord: Yang Fan

Follower Population: 110,000

Follower Identity: Ancient Humans

Strength: Some followers have already entered the beginner stage of the Federation Body-Tempering Art

Buildings: Moonwell ×5, Sun Spring ×5

Assets: Bodhi Treasure Snake (×First-Order Demon Beast), Night Vulture (×First-Order Demon Beast), Water Lotus (×F-rank Spirit Plant), Soul-Nourishing Wood (one hundred years old) (×Class C Spirit Plant)

Overall Evaluation: Food is abundant, and the ecosystem is stable. For the initial stage of a Divine Kingdom, its development is exceptionally outstanding.

Suggestion: None

Prosperity Evaluation: 22.4

"Am I seeing things? Yang Fan's follower population is 110,000? More than ten times mine?"

"What is going on? There must be some mistake."

"Why are his followers Ancient Humans? Forget the huge population—their strength is this high too."

"How is he supporting 110,000 people and still receiving an evaluation of abundant food and a stable ecosystem? That means his Divine Kingdom can sustain itself."

The students below all stared at one another, their faces filled with question marks.

Zhang Pang's eyes were wide as bronze bells. He only felt that the display screen was too bright, too dazzling, making his eyeballs ache.
