Chapter 6: Welcome to the new world.

Shen Yunling was furious for the first time, trembling all over. 

He struggled to keep his body upright, feeling the blood rush to his head. 

He stared intently at Su Fu, his mind racing with countless thoughts.

He can’t lose, he can’t lose, he can’t lose!

The more Shen Yunling thought about it, the angrier he became. 

A commoner, a mere ant he had always despised, dared to look at him with such a gaze?!

What made him even more furious was the disappointed expression on Su Fu’s face just now.

It was as if she had finally climbed a long-admired peak, only to find that after the clouds and mist cleared, what lay before her was nothing but an ordinary hill.

She even turned her head, not bothering to look at him again.

How dare this wretched woman treat him like this!

Just as Su Fu turned around, countless demons swarmed towards her. 

Shen Yunling’s internal organs ached terribly, yet he maliciously thought, 

“Kill her! You demons, go on, kill her!”

But Su Fu didn’t even turn her head.

With a flick of her golden cudgel backward, countless demons were instantly slain, not even having time to let out a scream.

It was effortless.

Then, Su Fu’s gaze swept over everyone present.

Four divine silhouettes appeared behind her, bright and dazzling, causing eye pain to those who looked at them.

And it also drove people mad with jealousy.

“Is there anyone else who wants to try?”

No one answered, so Su Fu looked at each person one by one.

“You? Han Yuxuan?”

Han Yuxuan’s pupils shrank abruptly, and she instinctively took a step back.

What a joke. 

Even Shen Yunling was knocked flying by a single blow from her cudgel. 

Was she asking for death by going up against her?

This Su Fu was simply insane!

She recalled how she used to mock Su Fu’s Chinese mythology in the classroom, unable to keep her mouth shut, and wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

She was genuinely afraid that Su Fu would send her to the afterlife with a single blow!

But Su Fu just let out a soft laugh, then her gaze fell on Jiang Qingyu.

“And you?”

“Jiang Qingyu.”

“Do you want to give it a try?”

Jiang Qingyu looked back calmly, their eyes meeting.

There can only be one first place.

No one ever remembers who came in second.

At that moment, a cold laugh broke the subtle atmosphere between the two.

“Ha………….” Shen Yunling wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression sinister, 

“Su Fu, you’re bluffing.”

“In reality, your divine power has been exhausted, hasn’t it?” 

He slowly advanced step by step, both probing and provoking.

“That’s why you’re putting on such a show, trying to scare us off?”

Shen Yunling was all too familiar with this kind of behavior. 

He had done it himself in the past.

If Su Fu really still had divine power, she would have already struck him with her cudgel. 

How could she let him go?

How could she politely ask them if they wanted to try?

How could she dawdle like this?

Only a fool like Han Yuxuan would be scared by this, truly frightened.

He recondensed the bow of Apollo in his hand, a golden radiance enveloping his figure.

“Let me show you what the power of a prestigious family is!”

The shadow of Apollo solidified behind him, and the majestic divine power fluctuations swept across the entire area.

“For the humiliation I suffered today……………” 

He drew the bowstring taut, his voice distorted with anger, “I will avenge!”

The bowstring tightened, and a golden arrow took shape, aimed at Su Fu.

Shen Yunling didn’t forget about Jiang Qingyu standing nearby.

He turned to Jiang Qingyu, his voice twisted with madness: 

“Let’s join forces and take her down together!”

“Would you be willing to be trampled underfoot by this good-for-nothing?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other candidates immediately felt the situation was about to turn around.

Shen Yunling and Jiang Qingyu joining forces would definitely lead to a certain victory.

And they gradually realized that Su Fu’s talkative behavior was nothing but a bluff. 

If she could defeat her, she would have directly overturned the examination room. 

Why would she still be nagging at them here?

“She just awakened for the first time. Her divine power reserves must be insufficient……”

“And supporting four deities for so long, it’s impossible……”

“It’s too showy. She’s asking for trouble…………”

She could have quietly developed and smoothly passed this exam, but Su Fu chose not to do so.

She chose to provocatively challenge everyone, practically seeking her own demise.

Everyone was ready to move, but before they did, they looked at Jiang Qingyu.

Would she agree?

However, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Qingyu just stood still.

Moonlight flowed around her, outlining a faint, barely visible protective barrier.

She looked at Shen Yunling with a gaze that was half mocking and half regretful.

She mocked him for not seeing Su Fu’s true capabilities, and regretted that he had discovered Su Fu’s weakness but failed to seize the opportunity.

Finally, she turned her gaze to Su Fu and said with interest:

“It’s too late.”

She said, “It’s already too late.”

Indeed, it was too late. 

Su Fu slightly tilted her head, watching the golden arrow flying towards her.

The arrow passed by her, aiming for the golden Buddha light behind her.

This was the effect Shen Yunling wanted. 

He intended to destroy Su Fu’s Buddha light. 

Without the Buddha light’s deadly attraction to demons, demons would tear Su Fu apart without his intervention.

This was his true purpose.

However, the moment the Buddha light shattered, Su Fu’s light and airy voice rang out-

“Kill.”

The [Buddha Light Illumination] skill was activated.

Golden light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire examination space.

Then, a long sigh echoed in the void, belonging to Jin Chan Zi, also known as Tang Seng.

He said: “My Buddha is compassionate.”

Countless Buddha lights suddenly emerged from the void, turning into pure energy.

The chanting of the Great Compassion Mantra echoed in the void, and the pure energy swept across the entire area.

All demons were instantly turned to ashes under the cover of pure energy.

[Buddha Light Illumination] is a group-based anti-evil skill, directly sublimating!

The disappearance of the evil demons meant the end of the exam!

The prompt sound of the Shen Yuang AI rang in everyone’s ears–

[Abnormality clearance progress: 100%]

[Completion time: 15 minutes and 32 seconds]

[New record achieved]

[This exam is over.]

[The examination space is about to close…………]

[Calculating evaluation…….

[Please wait……]

[Evaluation calculation completed.]

[Your score will be synchronized to your personal terminal after the examination space closes.]

[Synchronizing…….]

[Synchronization complete.]

[The examination space is closing……]

[T: 3.2……1……]

The moment his consciousness was withdrawn, Shen Yunling’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Data streams flickered frantically on his retinas, and at this moment, all the fragments suddenly fit together.

He understood.

No!

The Buddha light that attracted demons was not the only skill granted by the deity!

Who said a deity would only grant a human one skill at a time?

This had been everyone’s consensus before Su Fu, but is a consensus always right?

From the beginning, they had been misled by Su Fu, mistakenly thinking that those anomalies had to be stopped and killed by Su Fu, and the golden light behind her used to attract demons had to be protected.

In fact, it was not the case at all. 

The deity behind the Buddha light had favorably granted Su Fu two skills.

One was attraction, and the other was annihilation.

The only drawback of annihilation was its long wind-up time.

Perhaps it required enough Buddha light, or perhaps for some other reason, in any case, the wind-up time was long, so Su Fu had to buy time.

That’s why Jiang Qingyu said it was too late.

He had seen through it too late.

The battlefield changes in an instant, and one wrong move can lead to total defeat!

The exam was over, and Su Fu should have exited the examination space directly, but she didn’t.

The void shattered and reformed around Su Fu, and her consciousness was pulled into a new space.

She saw endless data streams flowing in the darkness, like glowing rivers.

Her consciousness floated in this ocean of data, like a bubble wrapped in seawater.

Soon, the voice of the Shen Yuang AI sounded.

“Detected successful first resonance with deity.”

“Establishing a divine favor data link……………”

Golden ripples rippled in the void, and countless tiny light points condensed around her, like stars gathering into a galaxy.

And to her astonishment, each light point carried the fluctuation of divine power, resonating in the depths of her consciousness.

This place was actually filled with abundant divine power?!

[ Shen Yuan AI main brain online]

[Divinity Intelligence activated]

[Reconstructing data link…..]

[Reconstructing personal information module……]

[Personal information module reconstruction complete]

A huge holographic projection unfolded in the void, with complex data structures spreading out before her like a star map:

[Divine favor identity confirmed——]

[Name: Su Fu]

[Student ID: F01]

[Branch school: Starlight Seventh High School]

[Belonging: Kunlun Academy]

[Pantheon: Chinese mythology]

[First resonance: Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing]

[Skills: Buddha Light Illumination•Weak, Demon Calamity, Ruyi Golden Cudgel·D-level, Nine-toothed Rake·Basic, Flowing Sand Crossing Technique·Beginner]

“Divine power resonance confirmed, full access granted.”

“Welcome, Chinese divine favorite Su Fu.”

Then Su Fu’s personal terminal interface appeared on the screen.

There were so many modules that Su Fu was dazzled. 

She soon realized that this was because she could summon deities, so her access level had been upgraded?

Before this, what she had been in contact with was the  Shen Yuan AI, an artificial intelligence.

And now it has been directly upgraded to the  Shen Yuan main brain, DI.

DI meant Divine Intelligence, and there was truly divine power supporting it.

An indescribable surge of excitement suddenly welled up inside Su Fu.

She suppressed her excitement and began to check her personal information.

The  Shen Yuan DI was mainly divided into several modules:

Personal information, Divine favorite module, Reputation module, and System announcements.

The first personal information module was easy to understand.

“Identity: Student Su Fu, Starlight Seventh High School.”

“Citizen level: E.”

“Divine power level: E (Initiate level).”

“Credit points: 5.”

Su Fu immediately noticed that her citizen level had been upgraded!

Not bad, not bad. 

Before the exam, she had the lowest citizen level among all the candidates, only F level.

Now she was finally not the last.

Citizen level was linked to various benefits and permissions. 

Don’t be fooled by the fact that E level and F level only differ by one level, but it represents a significant improvement in all aspects of life, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

For example, right now, there were already several good messages in the notification.

“Your dormitory has been upgraded from a four-person room to a double room, located at…………….”

“Your cafeteria permission has been upgraded to the second floor. Please dine at the second floor of the cafeteria.”

“You have obtained…………”

Su Fu took a quick look and then hurriedly looked at the more interesting Divine favorite module!

This module recorded all the summoned deities’ information, as well as the acquired skills and levels.

“Divine power level: E.”

“Skills mastered: 4 (Click to view).”

“Divine abilities mastered: 0.”

“Deities summoned: 4 (Click to view).”

Without hesitation, Su Fu clicked on the Deities summoned module and happily watched the projections of the four masters and apprentices slowly rotating in the air.

Although they were very blurry, Su Fu still recognized them at a glance.

“Hehe~ Your faithful servant thanks the four deities for saving her life~”

She made a gesture of thanks. 

Although she didn’t know if the deities could see it, Su Fu still said so.

Without them, she might really have perished here. 

Thanks to all the big shots!

“Speaking of which, this projection mode feels like collecting a bestiary?”

Looking at the images of the four masters and apprentices, Su Fu suddenly had this thought.

Thinking of it this way, she had already started looking forward to what deities she would summon in the next exam.

Speaking of which, when she summoned more and more deities in the future, would they eventually fill the entire space in a grand procession?

Suddenly she felt motivated!

At this moment, she received a new message.

It was the exam result.

Su Fu inevitably became nervous.

[High School Freshman Final Exam Report Card]

[Candidate: Su Fu]

[Pantheon: Chinese mythology]

[Time taken: 15 minutes and 32 seconds (new record)]

[Ranking: 1]

[Grade: Excellent]

[Reward: +10 credit points]

Ahhhh! 

Su Fu almost jumped with excitement.

First place!

Before she could finish celebrating, suddenly the data network of Lingxiao Province boiled up.

All terminals connected to the  Shen Yuan network lit up at the same time, and countless light screens blossomed in the void.

From the provincial capital center to remote academies, from the real world to virtual space, data streams spread like ripples.

[ Shen Yuan DI Lingxiao Province Announcement:]

Neon-colored data streams interwove in the city sky, and every holographic billboard switched to the same image.

People on the streets were startled by this sudden announcement and looked up at the sky.

Then, the same information appeared on all screens at the same time——

[The Chinese mythology has descended upon Lingxiao Province for the first time!]

[Divine favorite Su Fu, successfully summoned for the first time!]

Below the announcement, four divine silhouettes faintly appeared.

The figures of the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Purifier of the Altar, and the Golden Body Arhat slowly emerged.

These names, which had only existed in legends, were now truly presented before everyone.

They would leave an eternal mark in the data river of Lingxiao Province.

As if to say——

“Welcome to the new world.”
