Su Fu’s eyes lit up instantly.
The Great Sage!
Is that you, Great Sage?
She felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
In the void, the three divine shadows gradually took shape.
Unlike the vague contours in the previous D-level exams, these shadows were much clearer under the C+ exam’s enhancement.
She held her breath and stared intently at the three figures.
The figure on the far left wasn’t very tall, but it exuded an unruly aura, and most importantly, it held a long, stick-like object in its hand!
The figure in the middle looked young and upright, with two faint circles rotating around its waist, and flames flickering on its shoulders, as if about to burst forth.
The figure on the far right had a dignified presence, with an extremely bright light in the middle of its forehead.
At its feet, a large creature lay prostrate, its outline vaguely resembling that of a dog.
“Aaaaah!”
Yes!
Absolutely yes!
It’s the three big troublemakers of the Heavenly Court!
Su Fu was so excited she almost jumped up, covering her mouth to keep from screaming.
The three big troublemakers of the Heavenly Court!
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven!
Prince Nezha!
Marshal Erlang!
At this moment, she wanted to kowtow to Laozi three times.
Blessed by Laozi!
The Blue Spirit Summoning Array buff is powerful!
[Please start the summoning, establish a connection with the deity, and randomly select a deity skill]
[Note: You must correctly call their names and recite their titles]
Su Fu took a deep breath, trying to calm her excited emotions.
Summoning can’t go wrong; every title must be recited perfectly!
But her lips couldn’t help but curl up into a smile.
The three big troublemakers of the Great Uproar in the Heavenly Palace!
If she can’t handle a mere Heavenly Prison this time, she’ll do a handstand on the spot!
She suppressed her joy and focused on the first figure.
“Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!”
Boom!
A golden light column shot up into the sky, and an unruly aura swept across the entire area.
The Great Sage’s figure flickered in the golden light, with the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Magic Staff) emitting a dazzling glow.
“Great God of the Three Assemblies and the Sea, Nezha!”
Boom!
A fiery red light column rose into the air, with hot flames swirling in the void.
Prince Nezha’s figure appeared in the firelight, with the illusion of the Golden Rings and Wind-Fire Wheels surrounding him.
“Marshal Erlang, the True Monarch Who Manifests Holy Light, Yang Jian!”
Boom!
A silver-white light column pierced through the void, and a fierce, martial aura swept across the entire area.
Marshal Erlang’s figure solidified in the light, with the third divine eye faintly visible, and the illusion of the Barking Sky Hound lying beside him.
The three divine lights intertwined in the void, echoing each other.
[Congratulations to the candidate Su Fu for successfully summoning all the deities!]
[Randomly selecting deity skills…]
A series of mouth-watering skills appeared in the void:
[Seventy-Two Transformations – Perfect]
[Myriad Transformations]
[Divine Eye of Heaven]
[Dispel Illusions]
[Three Heads and Six Arms]
[Combat Strength]
[Golden Rings]
[Divine Artifact]
Su Fu’s eyes widened in amazement.
I want them all!
Ugh!
Unfortunately, these incredible skills only flashed by and disappeared, replaced by:
[Ruyi Jingu Bang – C Level]
[Divine Eye of Heaven – Basic]
[Wind-Fire Wheels – Basic]
[Twelve Transformations – Basic]
“Whoa!”
Not only did the Ruyi Jingu Bang skill directly upgrade to C level this time, but she also gained three new skills at once!
Moreover, there were the Wind-Fire Wheels; she finally had a movement skill!
Before, she didn’t even have a skill to run fast.
Now, she had the top-tier Wind-Fire Wheels!
Thank you, Prince Nezha!
Love you!
Marshal Erlang’s Divine Eye of Heaven was also quite powerful.
It was a divine skill that could see through all illusions and disguises, exactly the type of skill she lacked.
But the most appealing was still the Great Sage’s Twelve Transformations.
Although it was only the basic version of the Seventy-Two Transformations, the playability of the transformation skill was just too high.
Three!
For combat, stealth, reconnaissance, it could be used for everything.
Su Fu couldn’t help but rub her hands together.
Hehehe, this time she really hit the jackpot!
The examination room was in an uproar.
“Su Fu did it again! Another multiple deity summoning!”
“Three………” Wei Qingyang’s voice trembled a bit, “Other candidates only summoned one deity, but she…”
“Never mind that, she completely dominates in terms of quantity.”
“Great Sage Equal to Heaven, this is the second time we’ve seen him, right? That Ruyi Jingu Bang skill was bestowed by him.”
A young examiner pushed his glasses up. “Judging by the prototype, it seems like a monkey, but using……………a staff? That’s a bit strange, isn’t it?”
As everyone knows, deities with animal prototypes tend to bestow their own skills, while weapon-type divine skills are usually given by deities with human forms.
But the Great Sage from Chinese bestowed a weapon skill?
“Use it, then,” Wei Qingyang shrugged. “But weapon-type divine skills are too common. Unless it’s some kind of divine artifact, they will mostly be phased out in the later stages.”
“The transformation skill is quite interesting,” Wei Qingyang said, resting his chin on his hand. “Can it transform oneself? Or does it mean transforming other objects?”
At the basic level, don’t expect too much.
These divine skills usually develop their full potential later on.
In the early stages, they can only transform parts of the body or limited objects.
“Unless it can be upgraded. If the transformation skill can be enhanced to a higher level, or even to the perfect state, that would be truly amazing.”
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn’t help but recall the fleeting [Seventy-Two Transformations – Perfect] just now.
It might actually be possible!
“But the possibility is too small,” someone broke the silence. “You’ve seen it too, it’s just the basic level of Twelve Transformations. How many resources would it take to upgrade to Seventy-Two Transformations?”
“The Divine Eye skill is quite interesting,” a veteran examiner suddenly spoke up. “What’s the background of Marshal Erlang?”
“Who cares about his background, judging by the name, this skill is indeed good,” Wei Qingyang replied.
“Dispel Illusions, generally means dispelling illusions and disguises, it’s considered top-notch among auxiliary skills.”
“Wait, have you guys noticed that Su Fu is suited for a support role?”
“Look, she has [Nirvana Light] for healing and purification, [Buddha’s Radiance] for control, [Heart of a Hundred Birds] for reconnaissance, [Divine Eye] to dispel illusions, and…………”
Someone gasped in awe: “She’s an all-purpose support!”
“Healing, purification, control, now with reconnaissance and dispelling illusions…..”
“The most crucial part is she has the Wind-Fire Wheels, which seem to be a movement skill. She’s a support who can move on her own! Almost perfect.”
Someone realized: “You’re right, it really is the case.”
“So, in the team from School Seven, Jiang Qingyu is the main damage dealer, and Su Fu and Lin Mingxi are in charge of support?”
“Whoa, now that you mention it, this team is pretty strong. Once they grow stronger later on, they might even be able to compete with the top teams from the first three schools.”
“Speaking of which, what’s the exam for Provincial Academy – School One?” someone suddenly asked.
Someone glanced at the content next door and replied, “It’s [The Ruins of the Heavenly Prison: Enforcer].”
“Isn’t this an AB paper!” Wei Qingyang slapped his thigh in realization.
An AB paper refers to two different sets of exams with different abnormal forms within the same assessment environment.
For example, in District Twelve, the abnormal form is the Warden, which is the A paper.
The exam for Provincial Academy – School One has the abnormal form as the Enforcer, which is the B paper.
“But the Provincial Academy’s exam should be a bit more difficult,” Zhou Nanyuan said. “It’s said to be at the peak difficulty of C+ level.”
“They’ve started!” someone suddenly shouted.
The images on the screen began to warp and distort, a sign that the exam was loading.
“Speaking of which, they wouldn’t really put the candidates in prison from the start, would they?”
“Tsk tsk,” Wei Qingyang stroked his chin, “These abnormal names, Warden, Enforcer, sound more righteous than the righteous!”
“It’s a complete reversal of the natural order!”

[The assessment space has been constructed]
As the countdown ended and the data streams dissipated, Su Fu took a sharp intake of breath at the sight before her.
Majestic walls stretched towards the horizon under the gloomy sky, made of an unknown metal that still gleamed with a deep luster despite the ravages of time.
Countless thick bronze chains crisscrossed like a spider’s web, some hanging in mid-air, some deeply embedded in the walls, and others rusted, broken, and dangling.
“This is… the Heavenly Prison?”
Even just the ruins exuded an awe-inspiring pressure that sent chills down her spine.
The cold wind howled, stirring up the dust on the ground.
A few crows flew overhead, letting out shrill cries, but dared not linger in this area, quickly flying towards the distance.
Su Fu instinctively touched the goosebumps on her arms.
This place… was just too eerie.
“Click…………”
It was the sound of some chain swaying, producing a grating metallic friction.
Su Fu couldn’t help but look up at the dim sky.
The thick dark clouds seemed to be frozen there, shrouding the entire Heavenly Prison in eternal darkness.
Su Fu:”Is this a C+ exam? The difficulty seems a bit beyond the syllabus, doesn’t it?”
The familiar voice of the Shen Yan AI sounded:
[Assessment grading criteria: Number of abnormalities eliminated]
[Current location: The Ruins of the Heavenly Prison – Outer Fortress]
[Number of nearby abnormalities: 3]
Su Fu was taken aback.
Three?
Just three abnormalities?
Instead of feeling the slightest bit relieved, she felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
A small number didn’t mean safety; it meant that the abnormalities might be incredibly powerful!
That was why there was a limit on the number.
During the previous preliminary round, there were over a thousand ghostly crows, which looked terrifying but were actually not that difficult to deal with.
But this time……………….
Only three abnormalities, and they dared to issue a C+ level exam?
This could only mean that the abnormalities were incredibly powerful, and they were intelligent!
Su Fu looked around cautiously.
The dilapidated walls were covered with cracks, and the bronze chains swayed gently in the wind.
It seemed like something was hiding in the shadows, but then again, maybe there was nothing.
Under her feet was a broken bluestone road, covered with moss and rubble.
“I don’t see where the abnormalities are,” Su Fu muttered to herself, puzzled.
Logically, the abnormalities should be quite large in size this time, right?
And since Shen Yan ‘s abnormality detection said they were nearby, they must be close to her.
But after looking for a long time, she still couldn’t see where the abnormalities were.
Could it be that the abnormalities were invisible?
Wait!
There was another possibility……………
She suddenly turned her head and looked behind her.
Fortunately, there was nothing there.
“Phew…” she exhaled in relief, “That scared me to death.”
Damn it, the surroundings were just eerily quiet!
Only the chains not far away were still slowly swaying, producing that grating metallic friction.
Since that was the case, Su Fu looked up at the circling crows.
Skill [Heart of a Hundred Birds] activated!
In an instant, she felt a subtle connection with the consciousness of the six crows.
Their visions clearly transmitted to her mind, as if she suddenly had six extra pairs of eyes.
“First, let’s scout the surroundings…” she thought.
She was about to direct the crows to fly in different directions when a sudden change occurred!
“Click – Boom!”
A deafening metallic crash echoed through the sky.
Immediately after, an intangible pressure descended from above, pressing down on the entire space as if it were a physical force.
All the chains resonated, producing a shrill howling sound.
The broken characters on the bluestone road suddenly lit up, like some kind of runes, interweaving into a giant net that covered an area of a hundred meters.
Su Fu”..??..?..”
Su Fu felt her whole body become heavy, and the flow of divine power within her suddenly became sluggish, as if she were walking through thick mud.
What’s worse, in just that instant, she suddenly lost contact with four of the crows!
“Come on…” she gasped in shock, “This is just too exaggerated!”
The abnormality hadn’t even shown itself, and its mere presence had already weakened two-thirds of her divine power!
At that moment, a tall figure slowly emerged from the mist in the distance.
Its eyes, visible beneath the bronze mask, glowed with a faint blue light, and its tattered robe was covered in rust-like runes.
It held a thick chain in its hand, the other end of which disappeared into the void, leading who knows where.
“Ding -“
A soft sound rang out, and the chain in its hand suddenly tightened, as if it had caught some kind of prey.
At that moment, it looked up.
“Warden!”
