This rule was different from what it remembered!
In its memory, it should have been, “The enforcer, in the name of justice, shall maintain order…”
But now, it had directly changed to eliminating all disorders.
Maintaining and eliminating were two completely different concepts!
At that moment, the bronze altar moved.
Rule error, violation!
The eighty-one rule pillars trembled simultaneously, emitting a sharp hum.
The nine rule chains instantly surged, lunging toward the 1st Warden!
“Not good!” The 1st Warden suddenly realized the gravity of the situation and turned to flee the altar, but it still refused to let go of the Codex, clutching it as it ran.
But in the next instant, the Codex in its hands suddenly transformed into a massive golden staff, radiating a brilliant light!
Boom!
The golden staff swept out with immense force, smashing heavily into the 1st Warden’s chest.
The 1st Warden’s bronze armor instantly caved in, emitting a piercing shattering sound!
“Ugh!”
It was struck with full force and sent flying backward!
But before it could hit the ground, the rule chains had already reached it, wrapping around it and binding it tightly!
At the same time, Su Fu’s figure appeared.
Seizing the moment, she gripped the golden staff and charged forward, then—
Smashed it down with all her might!
“Ding!”
“You have killed the prison character: the Warden.”
Number 1 Warden is dead!
“Success?”
Su Fu tightly gripped the Golden Cudgel, never expecting things to go so smoothly.
Her transformation technique had actually managed to deceive the rules.
First, she approached the core of the altar through mimicry, then transformed into the Codex, leading the Warden Number 1 to misread the rules, and finally used the power of the rules to kill him.
It went so smoothly that it felt… unbelievable.
She was still in the form of Warden Number 2.
Above the altar, the chains of rules had dissipated, and the rule pillars had returned to their original state.
There was no attack launched against her, nor any punishment.
So, could she… attempt to ascend now?
Great!
Su Fu was delighted.
Let’s give it a try!
But just then-
“Ding!”
“Global Announcement:”
“Abnormal combat power detected. Exam balance has been disrupted.”
“Warden Number 1, as the final boss, should have been a difficult victory for the examinee. However, due to the excessive strength of a certain examinee, the exam paper cannot be accurately assessed.”
“Self-adjustment mechanism activated-“
“Adjustment plan determined: Automatically increase exam difficulty, merge Papers A and B.”
“Adjusting changes: Warden from Paper A promoted to Enforcer, opening a channel to Paper B.”
Lin Mingxi was stunned by the global announcement.
“Holy crap! It actually worked!”
“The exam papers really merged!”
But the next second-
The already dead Warden Number 1 suddenly became enveloped in golden light.
The shattered bronze armor pieces reassembled, and the ghostly flames in his eyes reignited!
He was revived!
No, it wasn’t just revival.
His aura was continuously surging, as if about to break through some limit!
Number 1 had awakened, and he was rapidly ascending!
Space began to crack, and the Judgement Eye unique to the Enforcer slowly opened.
Nine chains of rules instantly wrapped around him, gradually transforming into a golden robe that fluttered in the wind.
This was clearly a transformation into… the form of an Enforcer!
“Hahahaha!” Number 1 let out a maniacal laugh.
“Heaven helps me! I actually triggered the ascension program at the brink of death!”
He turned to Su Fu, his not-yet-fully-opened Judgement Eye fixed on her.
“You just wait!”
“I will personally kill you! Send you on your way!”
Playing with the rules?
Then be prepared to be played by the rules!
Su Fu:”…..”
She was dumbfounded.
Damn it, the exam paper was screwing her over!
The good news was, the exam papers had indeed merged as planned.
But the bad news was, the already dead Number 1, who had just become her mortal enemy, had been revived and was about to ascend into a powerful Enforcer, vowing to kill her.
“What kind of messed-up setting is this? You win, and then you get killed instead?”
Su Fu was furious. “Bug! This must be a bug! Is anyone going to fix this?”
But obviously, no one was.
Her original plan was to take out Number 1 first, then transform into the Warden to complete the ascension ritual.
Now, her plan was completely ruined!
She recalled the system’s earlier prompt:
[“Examinee’s strength is too high”]
[“Automatic adjustment mechanism activated”]
“So, the key to merging the exam papers is actually the self-adjustment mechanism of the exam paper?”
She couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
“Just because I used the Great Sage’s transformation powers and Erlang Shen’s Heavenly Eye to completely overpower it, the exam paper decided the difficulty wasn’t enough?”
“Really, you have to patch it up, huh?”
“Alright, alright!”
You’re so noble!
You’re so great!
You just raised the difficulty for her by several notches!
As the aura of Number One continued to rise, the golden light in the Eye of Judgment became even more blinding.
Su Fu felt a slight panic.
If it fully succeeded in its promotion, she might really be done for.
But just then, her gaze suddenly caught sight of the images on the massive rule pillars behind Number One Warden.
They depicted various law enforcers, clad in judgment robes, holding the Code of Rules, with their vertical eyes open on their foreheads!
Ah…
She suddenly thought of a BUG!
The system had said, “Warden of Volume A promotes to Law Enforcer.”
So why… did it have to be Number One who gets promoted?
She looked down at her own skin as the Warden of Volume Two, then at the forms of the law enforcers on the pillars, and suddenly smiled.
A bold idea formed in her mind.
With [Twelve Transformations] + [Heavenly Eye Shatters Illusions], she could completely disguise herself as a law enforcer!
She could pull off a switcheroo!
If a Warden had to be promoted to a law enforcer, why couldn’t it be her?
Number One Warden, originally immersed in the ecstasy of imminent promotion, suddenly saw Su Fu, who was supposed to be waiting for death, move.
The criminal disguised as a Warden actually opened a golden Heavenly Eye on her forehead!
Number One: “???”
What the hell, how do you have a Heavenly Eye too?!
But before it could finish being shocked, her form changed again.
The chains of rules began to wrap around her, and then, she was wearing a judgment robe identical to its own!
And most importantly, the Code of Rules had somehow appeared in her hand!
Number One:”…..”
What the hell is going on!
Looking at the figure across from it, identical to itself-no, even superior because of the Code-it finally realized something.
This whole setup was clearly the form of a law enforcer!
Number One was furious, “What kind of joke is this! You dare to impersonate a law enforcer!”
“Do you think your transformation can deceive the rules?!”
“This clumsy change…”
Before it could finish, its voice abruptly stopped.
Because it felt the power of the rules that was supposed to be flowing into its body had… suddenly halted!
Not only halted, but that power, which should have been its own, was now surging madly towards the “imposter” across from it!
“Stop! This can’t be!” Number One struggled frantically, “I am the true Warden! That one is just a fake! It’s… no! It’s fake! It’s… ah!!!”
Su Fu let out a gentle sigh.
It’s settled!
As early as when she transformed into a Warden in Zone 3 and successfully seized the Rule Chains, she knew that the transformation technique from the Great Sage could deceive the rules!
Hehehe, she thought, as expected of the Great Sage, the one who once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
His prowess was now fully demonstrated!
“Thinking of turning the tables on me?”
Su Fu laughed arrogantly, “You’d better take care of yourself first!”
Watching the Rule Power within No. 1 pour out uncontrollably, she delivered the final blow!
“Your role as the Law Enforcer, I’ll take it over!”
With No. I’s death, the Rule Power within Su Fu began to surge wildly!
Who could say she was a fake?
With the Codex in hand, the Rule Chains at her side, and the Heavenly Eye opened, she possessed everything a Law Enforcer should have!
Above the altar, a pillar of light formed by Rule Power shot into the sky.
A new Law Enforcer was about to be born!
Within the golden pillar of light, a series of notifications rang out:
[Detecting the aura of a Law Enforcer candidate…]
[Confirming Rule Authority…]
[Authentication passed!]
[Promotion procedure initiated!]
[You have obtained the highest authority of the Law Enforcer!]
[AB Volume fusion channel opening…]
With each notification, Su Fu’s power surged.
Until finally, the promotion was complete!
Su Fu opened her eyes.
Her power had indeed increased, but it wasn’t enough.
Now that she had become the Law Enforcer, it was time to summon her own “subordinates.”
“In the name of the Law Enforcer, I awaken the slumbering Wardens…”
“Awaken!”
As divine power surged, the coffins began to tremble.
Lin Mingxi and Jiang Qingyu watched in awe as countless coffins buried deep underground suddenly burst forth.
One by one, the bodies of the Wardens slowly sat up, their eyes burning with blue flames.
Originally, they had been worried about dealing with just one Warden, but now Su Fu had taken control of an entire squad of Wardens!
The awakened Wardens now stood in orderly rows, their gazes respectfully fixed on the new Law Enforcer atop the altar.
In unison, they declared, “We obey your command!”
Su Fu smiled with satisfaction.
This was awesome, a super cheat had arrived!
Lin Mingxi & Jiang Qingyu:”…..”
“Holy crap!”
“This is invincible!”
Who could possibly stop this now?
Who else?!
Meanwhile, within the provincial high school exam hall.
The voice of the Shen Yan AI suddenly echoed throughout the venue:
[Attention all candidates:]
[Detected that the exam fusion channel has been opened]
[AB Exam merger procedure initiated!]
[Please prepare yourselves, the new exam after the AB Volume fusion is about to begin]
[Exam fusion countdown: 10, 9, 8…]
The countdown continued, but the celestial anomalies had already begun.
A brilliant golden light suddenly tore through the sky, forcibly piercing the barrier between Volume A and Volume B, instantly creating a vast void.
Everyone was captivated by this golden light.
“Holy crap! Did I hear that right? Exam fusion?”
“This is a first! I’ve never encountered exam fusion before!”
“With whom no, with which exam hall? Wait, could it be the exam hall from District 12?”
“Definitely! They’re the ones taking the exam on the same day as us!”
“Hurry, let’s go check it out!”
As the crack in the void grew larger, the boundary between the two examination gradually blurred.
Many were eager to take the lead and enter the twelfth district of Exam Paper A.
“I can’t wait any longer, hurry up!”
“What’s the rush? It’s just a matter of time.”
“Are you stupid? If we go late, we won’t get to crush the weaklings. Those bumpkins will probably be wiped out in less than a minute.”
“True, damn it, it’s been so frustrating in this exam area. Finally, we can go out and dominate!”
“Hehehe~~”
Everyone’s faces showed knowing smiles.
The merging of the exam papers was not good news for the twelfth district, as the superior provincial academy examinees would have an absolute advantage, and then-
Complete annihilation!
Why annihilate them?
Because the fewer the remaining examinees, the more divine power infusion would be allocated as the final reward.
For them, sharing was out of the question; it was all about total annihilation and monopolizing the free divine power infusion.
After all, giving it to the twelfth district would be a waste.
What use are those perennial bottom-feeders?
“By the way,” someone asked curiously, “doesn’t merging exam papers require special conditions? Who opened it?”
“Who else could it be! It must have been the top twenty elites who took action.”
“Right, it must be our elites who couldn’t stand the sight of those twelfth district losers and deliberately opened it!”
No one questioned this assumption.
In their eyes, only those geniuses had the capability.
“So who could it be?”
“Captain Bai Xiao of the Fourth Squad?”
“Mad Demon Liana?”
“Or perhaps Ichiro Toyotomi from the Amaterasu Pantheon?”
“Stop guessing, look—”
“The passage is open!”
