On the holographic screen, the points of light representing Gu Chengfeng's berserker legion had been completely snuffed out.

Ten thousand tier-two heavy-armored berserkers, wiped out to the last man!

A deathly silence filled the Divine War Hall.

There were no cheers, no jeers, only heavy breathing and the constant sound of people swallowing.

Everyone looked at Su Bai's docking pod as though they were looking at a monster wearing human skin.

"He won... he really won..."

Qin Wan slumped weakly against the back of her chair, feeling as though dogs had eaten all the cultivation knowledge she had gained over the past few decades.

A ten-square-kilometer wasteland had managed to trap and kill ten thousand tier-two followers without shedding a drop of blood!

If word got out, it would trigger a massive earthquake throughout the Great Xia Nation's education sector.

"Impossible... this is impossible..."

Inside the docking pod on the left, Gu Chengfeng sat slumped on the floor, his hair disheveled and his eyes vacant.

His divine kingdom's core was shaking violently because of the mass deaths of his followers.

The once-vast heavy metal wasteland was now riddled with enormous cracks, as though it might collapse at any moment.

"My berserkers... the berserkers my Gu Family spent tens of millions raising..."

Gu Chengfeng jerked his head up, his eyes filled with boundless malice and madness.

"Su Bai! You destroyed the fruits of my labor! I'll kill you!"

Gu Chengfeng lunged at the console and operated it frantically with both hands.

"I'm disconnecting! I have to preserve what's left of my divine kingdom's core!"

As long as the divine kingdom passage was disconnected, he would at least be able to preserve the foundation of his divinity, despite his heavy losses, and slowly recover in the future.

But just as he was about to press the "force disconnect" button,

Su Bai's icy voice suddenly rang out beside his ear.

"You think you can come and go as you please? Do you take my divine kingdom for a public toilet?"

Gu Chengfeng froze for a moment, but before he could react,

A sudden change appeared on the holographic screen!

Su Bai's ten-square-kilometer wasteland suddenly began to churn violently.

Black fog filled the sky, boiling like water as it rushed madly toward the entrance to the divine kingdom passage.

Within the black fog, Hongdou's figure slowly emerged.

She stretched out a deathly pale arm and grabbed the edge of the divine kingdom passage.

"Hee hee hee..."

Hongdou let out a chilling laugh, her pitch-black eyes, without a trace of white, fixed on Gu Chengfeng at the other end of the passage.

"Stay... keep me company..."

Boom!

A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from Su Bai's divine kingdom!

Gu Chengfeng discovered in horror that he couldn't sever the divine kingdom passage!

The suction force was like an enormous invisible hand, holding the passage's doorway firmly in place while steadily devouring the spiritual energy and soil in his divine kingdom!

"Su Bai! What are you doing?! Have you gone mad?!"

Gu Chengfeng was scared out of his wits. "The simulated battle is over! You're breaking the rules!"

Su Bai sat in his chair and leisurely took a sip of water.

"Breaking the rules? How am I breaking the rules?"

"You were the one who applied for a 'full docking battle.' You said yourself it wouldn't end until one of us was dead."

"Your followers are all dead now, but your divine kingdom hasn't shattered yet. How can the game stop?"

Su Bai looked at the berserker corpses covering the ground, his eyes shining.

Ten thousand corpses of powerful tier-two humans!

What a fucking fortune!

If he had to buy them on the black market himself, he couldn't afford even a tenth of them if he sliced himself up and sold the pieces!

"System, suck it all up! Don't waste a single drop of blood!"

Su Bai shouted wildly in his heart.

[Ding! Large quantities of high-quality fresh corpses, fear, and resentment detected.] [Divine kingdom core beginning to devour...] [Pollution index rising... 99.1%... 99.5%...] [Divine kingdom area beginning to solidify...]

As the system notifications sounded, the black fog over the wasteland turned into countless tentacles and plunged straight into the berserkers' corpses.

Before their eyes, the burly corpses rapidly shriveled up and turned into ashes scattered across the ground.

The blood and qi and divine power in their bodies, as well as the despair and fear they had felt before death, were all greedily absorbed by Su Bai's divine kingdom.

Not only that, the suction force was also drawing the origin power out of Gu Chengfeng's divine kingdom through the passage.

"Ahhh! My divine kingdom! My origin power!"

Gu Chengfeng let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

He could feel his vitality dropping rapidly as his divine kingdom was drained away.

The teachers and school officials in the stands finally realized what was happening.

"This is bad! Su Bai is devouring the origin power of Gu Chengfeng's divine kingdom!"

The dean's face went white with fright, and he rushed toward the console. "Quick! Cut the power by force! If he keeps draining him, Gu Chengfeng will be finished!"

Qin Wan grew anxious too. Although she didn't like Gu Chengfeng, if he died at school, the Gu Family would flay Su Bai alive.

"Su Bai! Stop! You've already won!" Qin Wan shouted into the loudspeaker.

Su Bai curled his lip.

Of course he knew to quit while he was ahead.

As he was now, he wasn't strong enough to confront the entire Gu Family head-on.

"All right, that's enough sucking for today. This kid's lucky."

Su Bai snapped his fingers. "Hongdou, let go."

Hongdou obediently let go, and her figure flickered before disappearing back into the black fog.

Without Hongdou blocking it, the dean finally managed to cut the power to the docking pod.

Boom!

The divine kingdom passage closed instantly.

The door of the left docking pod sprang open.

Gu Chengfeng rolled out like a puddle of mud, convulsing all over, foam spilling from his mouth and his eyes rolled back.

Although his divine kingdom's core hadn't shattered, Su Bai had sucked away more than half its origin power, reducing it from S-rank to trash not even fit to be called C-rank!

A deathly silence fell over the entire hall.

Everyone looked at the former genius convulsing on the floor, an indescribable chill rising in their hearts.

That was ruthless.

Su Bai hadn't just killed his enemy; he had attacked his heart too, eating his fill and carrying away the leftovers, even sucking the man's divine kingdom dry!

"Quick! Medical team! Save him!"

Sweat poured down the dean's face as he directed several teachers to lift Gu Chengfeng onto a stretcher.

At that moment, the door of the right docking pod also slowly opened.

Su Bai walked out stretching, looking refreshed.

"Man, the seat in that docking pod was a little hard. Next time I'll have to suggest the school replace it with a real leather one."

Su Bai muttered to himself, as though he hadn't been the one who had just done something so earth-shaking.

Lin Que was the first to rush over. He threw his arms around Su Bai's leg, so excited that tears came to his eyes.

"Brother Bai! You're my real brother! You're fucking amazing! Do you know how cool you were just now?!"

Su Bai kicked Lin Que away in disgust. "Get lost. Don't wipe your snot on my pants."

Just as Su Bai was about to leave,

Several of Gu Chengfeng's lackeys suddenly jumped out from the stands, pointing at Su Bai and hurling abuse at him.

"Su Bai! You cheated!"

"How could F-rank trash like you possibly beat Young Master Gu?! You must have hidden a banned weapon in your divine kingdom!"

"That's right! Punish Su Bai severely! He has to be handed over to the Security Bureau for interrogation!"

These lackeys usually threw their weight around under Gu Chengfeng's protection. Now that their backer had fallen, they naturally jumped out to show their loyalty.

The dean also walked over, frowning.

"Student Su Bai, your divine kingdom's performance has indeed defied common sense. According to regulations, we need to conduct a comprehensive inspection of your divine kingdom to make sure you didn't use any banned scrolls or weapons bestowed by higher-tier gods."

Su Bai shrugged, looking unconcerned.

"Go ahead, inspect it all you want. If I cheated, I'll eat that docking pod right here."

Just as the dean was about to call the inspectors,

The doors of the Divine War Hall were suddenly kicked open from outside.

"There's no need for your school to inspect it. The City Appearance Bureau is taking over."

A cool, authoritative voice came from the doorway.

Everyone turned to look.

A striking woman with ear-length hair and a fitted black uniform strode in, leading a team of fully armed officers.

A silver badge was pinned to her chest.

Three characters were engraved on it: Abnormality Division.

At the sight of the woman, Qin Wan and the dean both changed expression.

"Captain Bai Lan? What brings you here?" The dean hurried over to greet her, a trace of awe in his voice.

Bai Lan was the deputy captain of the City Appearance Bureau's Abnormalities Handling Section, a peak demigod who specialized in handling all kinds of out-of-control divine kingdoms and high-risk pollution incidents.

She was the "Living King of Hell" of Linhai City's divine circles.

Bai Lan ignored the dean and walked straight up to Su Bai.

Her sharp, eagle-like eyes fixed on Su Bai, as though she meant to see right through him.

"Su Bai, a student in Class Seven of the third year at Linhai No. 3 Middle School."

"Extremely high concentrations of dark matter pollution remain in your divine kingdom passage, accompanied by unknown fluctuations in the laws."

Bai Lan took out a compass-like instrument. Its needle was pointing at Su Bai and spinning wildly.

"Last night, a low-level Anomaly disappeared from Red Star Middle School in the eastern suburbs. The pollution aura left at the scene was identical to that of your divine kingdom."

Bai Lan looked at Su Bai coldly, her voice carrying an unquestionable pressure.

"Su Bai, shouldn't you explain exactly what you're keeping in your divine kingdom?"
