Zhou Nanyuan, seeing the three with stars in their eyes, smiled and introduced, “This is the standard configuration. You can use it freely.
“If you need anything else, you can let me know at any time.”
“For the next week, you can move around freely.”
“Okay.”
“The final competition will start next Monday.”
“However, you need to set aside the next two days to claim your rewards. Tomorrow at nine in the morning, I will take you to collect your divine power and blessing rewards.
“The day after tomorrow there is a master class. The invitation has already been sent to your email. Make sure to check the time and don’t miss it.”
“There are no other arrangements after these two days,” Zhou Nanyuan continued.
“You can go familiarize yourselves with the environment, practice team coordination, and so on.
“By the way, the library, training grounds, entertainment facilities, and so on are all open to you, with the same privileges as the provincial academy students.”
Lin Mingxi was already excitedly rubbing his hands together: “Oh my, this is great!”
Zhou Nanyuan suddenly remembered something: “Also, the Shen Yan AI should have granted you the [Myriad Phenomena] permission.”
“It’s a virtual simulation world with different levels of exam papers for practice. I suggest you try it out when you have time.”
After giving a detailed introduction for a while, Zhou Nanyuan concluded: “Alright, get a good rest tonight!”
The three exchanged glances.
“Shall we… rest first?” Lin Mingxi suggested.
“Sure.”
Su Fu took a tour of the room and happily admired it.
The environment was really nice.
If she could pass the assessment, she could stay here!
Finally, she threw herself onto the soft sofa, turned on her light brain, and entered the Shen Yan space.
Sure enough, the master class notification had arrived:
[Location: Inquiry of the Divine Building, Room 3201
Time: The day after tomorrow, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Lecturer: Professor Li Qingfrost
Content: Detailed Explanation of Divine Skill Principles and Practical Application
Special Note: This course is only for those who have passed the preliminary contest]
Su Fu’s eyes lit up.
These were exactly the topics she needed the most at the moment!
And since it was for the preliminary contest candidates, the class should only have twenty-two people.
It wouldn’t be crowded, and there might even be a chance to have an in-depth exchange with Professor Li!
Thinking of this, she quickly opened her memo and began to list the questions she wanted to ask:
How to improve the efficiency of divine power infusion into the Ruyi Jingu Bang?
Can the casting time of Buddha’s Radiant Light be shortened?
The allocation of divine power when summoning multiple deities simultaneously……
After recording everything, she nodded in satisfaction.
And she thought, she should be able to meet the candidates from the top three high schools by then, right?
At that moment, a notification from the Shen Yan AI suddenly popped up.
[Preliminary Contest Exam Paper Viewing Feedback Report]
[Your exam paper video has received extremely high attention]
[Views: 97,000]
[Current ranking: Fourth in the province]
Fourth?!
Su Fu instantly became curious.
Did that mean the exam paper videos of the top three high schools were also out?
She was truly curious about these top three candidates.
Before this, there had been no exam paper videos from them, and they hadn’t even participated in the joint exams.
Apart from knowing their pantheon and main god, everything else was unknow.
The only information available was the highlight video captured by the Shen Yan AI this time.
She immediately clicked on the link and entered the page showcasing excellent preliminary contest exam papers.
The most popular one in the showcase was Klaus from the first high school.
The video showed him holding a huge heavenly sword, with pure white sword inserted into the ground and golden runes flowing along the blade.
“Tsk tsk, that looks so cool!”
She quickly clicked to play the video.
In the video, Klaus held the holy sword, his golden hair fluttering in the holy light.
The next moment, the judgment erupted.
Pure light power poured down like a flood, turning the entire examination room into a place of judgment.
All abnormalities were instantly annihilated in this light, and even space was slightly distorted under this power.
The progress bar for the elimination of abnormalities almost shot straight up, and when it was stuck at 99%, a faint golden light flashed in Klaus’s eyes.
The final sword strike shattered the sky.
The shadow of Michael appeared behind him, with huge wings spread, covering the entire examination room.
All abnormalities were turned into flying light points under this sword strike.
“Is this……the power of the heavenly pantheon?”
It’s really a bit too overpowered!
This was the first time she had seen a favored one of the heavenly pantheon.
It was said that this pantheon had a pure extreme light attribute, which naturally suppressed most exam papers.
However, the heavenly pantheon also had a fatal flaw, which was the need for a very high degree of light affinity.
If there was the slightest incompatibility, even the most basic heavenly power could not be drawn out.
This led to the fact that although there were few favored ones of the heavenly pantheon, each one was a top-tier strong person.
Su Fu thought to herself, “So Klaus can control the power of Michael, which itself shows how terrifying his talent is. The first place in District Twelve is truly well-deserved.”
She couldn’t wait to click on the second video, Asuka Amakawa from the second high school.
In the video, a girl in a white shrine maiden outfit stood in the center of the examination room, her black hair moving without wind due to the agitation of spiritual energy.
She clasped her hands together, as if praying for something.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, with pure divine fire burning in her pupils.
Boom
A brilliant divine flame descended from the sky, directly tearing apart the barrier of the examination room.
It was not ordinary fire, but the fire of the Yata no Kagami of Amaterasu Omikami, said to be able to burn away all evil in the world.
Where the fire passed, space was torn apart, and abnormalities were turned into nothingness the moment they touched it.
Su Fu had learned a little about it.
The Amaterasu pantheon is one of the strongest pantheons in the Far East, with an extremely powerful purifying force.
She noticed that in the video’s comments, people were discussing:
“I heard that the Amakawa family has served the Amaterasu pantheon for generations, specifically cultivating shrine maidens and priestesses. Asuka is the strongest shrine maiden of this generation!”
Shrine maiden?
Su Fu understood roughly.
With the family’s heritage and top talent, no wonder she could use divine power to such an extent.
The third video was from the third high school, Ramses/Chow Tin-Lun.
It is said that he changed his name and surname to show respect to the gods, taking the name of the Pharaoh, which is why he has two names.
The boy in the video seemed like a golden statue of a god.
The moment he raised his scepter, the entire examination room was enveloped in a blazing divine light.
Boom
The power of the sun god swept through the examination room, and space collapsed inch by inch under this terrifying pressure.
The shadow of Horus appeared behind him, with the divine eagle spreading its wings and letting out a deafening roar.
“This guy ……………” Su Fu muttered to himself, “Not only did he change his name, but his expression and movements are all from ancient Egypt ……………”
But it has to be admitted that this almost fanatical focus indeed gave him an astonishing power.
Su Fu was silent for a while.
Are these the top geniuses from other schools?
Klaus’s heavenly judgment, Asuka’s divine flame purification, Ramses’s sun god’s might ……………
She sighed, none of them are simple!
Her own super big move seems to be just an ordinary daily operation for these people.
Su Fu felt a bit depressed.
The gap in divine power is still a bit too large.
She continued to scroll down the video:
High school exam paper display.
Unlike the earth-shaking solo performances of the top three high schools, the exam papers of these three schools show another style, a perfect coordination.
In the video of the fourth high school, Lily Waters was in the lead, with the violent purple divine flame of the goddess Kali winding around her body, leaving no grass behind.
Behind her, Sam Verma held the Ganesha scepter, constantly adding various buff states for her.
Their cooperation can be described as perfect, one strong attack and one auxiliary, bringing the power of the Indian pantheon to the extreme.
“This coordination ……………..” Su Fu couldn’t help but frown, “It’s probably a level of tacit understanding that can only be achieved through long-term training.”
The combination of the fifth high school really caught her eye.
Ming Yue Shuang and Shan Yue Hua, one specializing in Horus and the other in Anubis, their light and dark dual systems complemented each other perfectly.
The interwoven divine powers of light and darkness surged in the examination room, as if weaving an all-encompassing net.
“The twin stars of the Egyptian pantheon?” Su Fu mused thoughtfully.
As for the sixth high school, Pi Chu Xi and Fang Bo Han formed a combination of the Norse pantheon’s Odin and the Greek pantheon’s Hermes.
Su Fu couldn’t help but stroke her chin: “Logically speaking, the seventh high school might be a family that worships a mainstream pantheon. In that case, the families of all major pantheons could be complete………….”
But unfortunately, this was directly disrupted by her and Jiang Qingyu.
So it can be foreseen that these schools will not be very friendly to the seventh high school.
This is the natural contradiction between families and commoners.
“There are so many amazing people……”
Su Fu leaned back on the sofa and exhaled deeply.
And these are just the candidates from the twelve districts under the jurisdiction of Lingxiao Province.
The top three high schools are monstrous existences.
Not only are they experienced, but their divine power reserves are also unfathomable.
The most critical point is that none of them are reckless.
Take Klaus, for example.
The timing of his heavenly judgment was perfectly grasped, clearly showing his experience.
Although the middle three high schools cannot match the top three in individual strength, their coordinated teamwork is equally daunting.
In practical combat, they might be even more challenging to deal with than individuals fighting alone.
“And………” Su Fu’s gaze darkened slightly, “even if we pass the final competition, what awaits us are the provincial candidates from the Lingxiao Provincial Academy………………”
That’s where the truly elite gather, a forest of strong competitors.
In comparison, they are like newcomers from a remote countryside.
The gap in educational resources alone is not something that can be bridged in a short time.
Moreover, there is a widely circulated notion that even if candidates from District Twelve get admitted, they will still be at the bottom.
Su Fu stroked her chin, thinking that this might be a bit too underestimating.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the nearby teaching buildings were brightly lit.
Further in the distance, the undulating mountains and the faintly visible massive protective dome could be seen.
For Su Fu, the provincial academy is not the end.
She needs to at least enter a galaxy-level academy, even if it’s the most remote North Star Galaxy system.
That means she has to get admitted to Tianqi Affiliated High School and do so before her senior year of high school.
Only then can she secure a spot in Tianqi University.
It’s important to understand that university, no matter in which world, is where the real journey begins.
And as is well-known, the location for the college entrance examination is even more important than one’s own effort.
The same score in different locations can lead to vastly different outcomes.
As an affiliated high school of Tianqi University, entering Tianqi Affiliated High School means at least half a step has already been taken towards university.
With a safety net in place, she can then strive to climb higher.
Her first year of high school is already over, and the time left for her is not much.
In fact, it’s quite pressing.
The immediate priority is to get into the provincial academy first.
Although the opponents are strong, she is not weak either.
First of all, there is the exam reform system, which is extremely advantageous for her.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that she is the biggest winner of the reform system.
In the Shen Yan AI, her latest level is already 【Divine Power Level: C (Divine Realm)】
She jumped directly from E level to C level in one exam!
It’s a huge harvest!
However, her weakness still exists.
Her divine skill level is too low.
“Nirvana Light·C” she looked at it, “The auxiliary skill level is quite high, but the attack skill……”
【Ruyi Jingu Bang·D Level】
【Nine-toothed Rake·Basic】
She couldn’t help but hold her forehead.
The damage of the attack skills is too low.
Looking at the candidates from the top three and even the middle three high schools just now, their damage was off the charts, easily piercing through the exam room.
She still relied on the environment and tactics, combined with the top auxiliary skill Nirvana Light to blow up the exam room.
“No, I have to find a way to improve the skill level……………”
As is well-known, there are two ways to upgrade skill levels.
The first is to summon the same deity repeatedly, allowing the deity to grant skill upgrades.
In that case, she would have to “grind” specific types of exams, deliberately choosing the same type of exam papers, which might summon a series of deities.
For example, the Ling Mountain series of exams has a considerable chance of directly summoning the four gods of Journey to the West!
Wouldn’t skill enhancement be a sure thing then?
The problem is simple: she needs exam papers.
Well, she has none at all, only the final exam paper next Monday.
The second method is divine power infusion upgrade, which is divine power from outside the exam.
The most abundant source is undoubtedly the Holy Land, but for her?
Don’t even think about it.
As for the second…… that would be the Divine Bank.
The Divine Bank, affiliated with one of the five major financial groups, can provide divine power loans.
Want divine power?
Sure, any amount, but with interest!
And it must be returned within a specified time, otherwise the interest will double!
Moreover, the interest is just too expensive.
The two hundred thousand credit points she worked so hard to earn couldn’t even cover one day’s interest.
Su Fu grumbled indignantly, “The five major financial groups are indeed vampires!”
“tttttt……”
“Those damn capitalists, I’ll hang them all on streetlights one day!”
