Chapter 15: What Did You Say?
Small Change: Divine Fighter will be changed to God Fighter.
I hasn't been used too much yet so I'll change it a little early.
The goblins' strength was not weak.
For newcomers, over a thousand goblins plus elite warriors and mages would be a nightmare. However, for Xu Luo, they were too weak. He had personally destroyed many Divine Realms and faced numerous powerful opponents, so he didn't pay much attention to such ordinary species.
Goblins were only about 1.1 to 1.2 meters tall, slightly taller than dwarves, gnomes, and imps, but not by much. Only goblin braves reached the normal human height of about 1.8 meters.
Their opponents, the Mantis Zerg, stood about 1.5 meters tall, while the Beetle Zerg were 1 meter long and 0.8 meters wide. Lined up, they completely blocked the goblins' path. The Mantis Zerg could attack with low-altitude flight and then jump back behind the Beetle Zerg, making it difficult for the goblins to attack them.
Thus, the battle ended very quickly.
The Mantis Zerg's two front limbs had been enhanced to be as sharp as blades. One fierce slash was enough to fell a goblin.
This caused an uproar among the observing teachers and students outside.
Not only had he completely annihilated the goblin invaders, but his speed was also astounding.
So fast that some people hadn't even reacted yet.
By annihilating the invaders, Xu Luo had already scored full marks in this wave. But he wasn't satisfied. Class 1 might have someone who could annihilate the invaders too. He wanted to be first and get the top prize, but now he might only tie for first place.
The connection between the goblins' plane and his Divine Realm hadn't been severed yet, so he wanted to try his luck.
After all, it was just a simulation. Even if all his Zerg died, he wouldn't suffer any loss. Why not give it a try?
With this thought, Xu Luo drove his Zerg to launch a counter-invasion into the goblins' plane.
This move caused another uproar among the observing students and teachers.
Good grief, while others were struggling to resist invasion, this guy was directly attacking the enemy's home base?
"Is he... turning defense into offense?" The Training Director looked astonished.
"Isn't he from a regular class? How is he so impressive?"
"I've been the Logistics Director for over a decade and watched many new student monthly exams, but this is the first time I've seen someone counter-attack the invaders' home base."
The Logistics Director also wore an expression of disbelief.
"Principal, should we stop him? There's never been such a precedent!" Zhao Yiming quickly spoke up, hiding his ugly expression.
"Why should we stop him?" Zhong Tianyue looked at him with an ambiguous smile, clearly understanding his thoughts.
This old fox initially thought Xiang Xun would definitely take first place and had been maneuvering to secure the new student champion reward. Now that Xu Luo was performing so brilliantly, he naturally didn't want to pave the way for someone else.
"The school has no rule against counter-invasion. Stopping him now, Deputy Zhao, are you trying to directly confirm him as the first-place winner?" Zhong Tianyue spoke calmly.
"This..." Zhao Yiming fell silent. Directly confirming Xu Luo as first place would mean all his previous efforts were in vain. Moreover, it was Xu Luo, which made him even more unwilling. That prize absolutely couldn't fall into his hands.
"I think it's inappropriate too. Let's watch for now!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
The school leaders agreed one by one.
Although Zhao Yiming was displeased, he was alone, and his opposition would be useless at this point.
The school leaders' thoughts were simple: they wanted to see Xu Luo's true strength. If he was genuinely talented, they would spare no effort in nurturing him.
If he could achieve this level without school support, what level could he reach with the school's resources?
Perhaps they could cultivate a student who could participate in the global tournament?
A future powerful star God Fighter!
Thinking of this, the leaders' hearts surged with excitement.
Compared to this honor, offending Zhao Yiming meant little.
Although Zhao Yiming had the Xiang family behind him, each of these leaders held high positions in the school and had their own backing. While not as powerful as the Xiang family, they weren't afraid of them either.
When Xu Luo chose to counter-invade, the vast majority of students had already come out of the simulation pods.
These were students from Class 19 and two other regular classes.
Their development was very ordinary. After struggling to resist the invaders, their Divine Realm cores were still destroyed.
In contrast, most of Class 1 students passed the assessment, either by resisting for the required time or by killing all the invaders.
After all, they had family support from the start and received preferential resource allocation from the school after enrollment. The difference between them and ordinary students was like heaven and earth.
Their passing the assessment was no surprise; it would have been strange if they hadn't passed.
Xiang Xun was the first to emerge from the simulation pod. Seeing the dense crowd of people walking out of the pods, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"So incompetent? So many unqualified people!"
Born into the Xiang family, he had received elite education since childhood. He had always looked down on these ordinary people, viewing them as commoners.
Seeing these commoners trying to change their fate, he couldn't help but want to mock them.
"What are you so proud of? You just killed all the invaders. There's still Xu Luo in the regular class! He annihilated the invaders earlier than you, and now he's busy invading their plane!"
Seeing Xiang Xun's smug look, someone in the crowd spoke up indignantly.
These second-generation rich kids occupied the best resources and looked down on those from ordinary backgrounds. The conflict between the two classes wasn't formed overnight.
There were many second-generation rich kids like Xiang Xun who looked down on ordinary people, and similarly, many ordinary people who resented or even hated them.
The opposition between wealthy families and humble ones had existed for many years.
Especially with the recent large-scale wave of unemployment, ordinary people were struggling to make a living while the wealthy second generation continued their extravagant lifestyles, making the conflict even more acute.
"What did you say?"
Xiang Xun turned abruptly, looking incredulously at the projection screen on the side, where only a few were still lit up.
Among them, one was particularly eye-catching.
Because his screen didn't show his own Divine Realm, but him invading the goblins' plane.
This was an enormous shock to Xiang Xun. He didn't even have time to care about the commoner who had offended him.
Usually, he would have taught such a person a lesson without hesitation.
But at this moment, only one word remained in his mind.
Counter-invasion!
He knew what this meant.
The first place and the title of new student champion, which he thought was in the bag, might now change hands.
How could this happen?
His face darkened, and his breathing became rapid.
