Chapter 19: The Assessment Ends
Principal Zhong Tianyue focused on the battlefield, fully aware of the school's internal affairs but often choosing not to interfere. Despite being the principal, he didn't have absolute authority and faced many constraints.
Since taking office, he hadn't produced many students who participated in the global tournament, which had been a constant worry. Now, finally seeing some hope, his mood naturally improved.
"Two types of units, both possessing limb regeneration and burrowing abilities. The attack units can fly and jump, while the defensive units have shields and thick armor with high defense. Together, they can handle many types of units. Their main weakness is flying units, lacking anti-air capabilities. However, at the early stages of Divine Realm establishment, few people have flying species. This strength is already impressive."
Zhong Tianyue silently analyzed the strength of Xu Luo's units.
If he could cultivate a genius, perhaps he could leave this city and seek a higher position.
Meanwhile, the battle in the Divine Realm was nearing its end.
The Zerg had the advantage in numbers, and their initial surprise attack had greatly reduced the Two-Headed Ogres' numbers.
After repeatedly trading lives, there were now few Two-Headed Ogres left.
"Ahhh!" An angry roar echoed through the valley.
A blue-skinned, three-meter-tall, stocky Two-Headed Ogre appeared, wielding a long-handled spiked club.
These species had primitive forging techniques, and the spiked club was the best weapon they could produce.
This Two-Headed Ogre's mere presence exuded a terrifying pressure, and the other Two-Headed Ogres gathered around it.
This was clearly the Two-Headed Ogre chieftain.
Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain (Lord): Bronze Tier 9! Talents: Dual Casting, Double Attack, Duet! Skills: Battle Cry, Magic Attack, Berserk!
Seeing the Two-Headed Ogre's talents and skills, Xu Luo was surprised. It had an aura skill and the powerful Duet talent.
This was completely different from the previous Goblin Chieftain, whose skills were purely for development and logistics. The Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain's three talents were all combat-oriented.
Dual Casting increased its casting speed, Double Attack increased damage, and Duet was terrifying - after one attack, the previous damage would occur again, essentially dealing damage twice per attack.
Battle Cry was a group buff skill, commonly called an aura skill, group enhancement, or group buff. It had the greatest effect on the battlefield.
The Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain's Battle Cry could boost its subordinates' morale through its roar, increasing their attributes by 10% while reducing the enemy's morale and attributes by 10%. Although it only lasted 30 seconds, in a battle where every second counted, 30 seconds could determine life or death.
Unfortunately, the Battle Cry skill had no effect on the Zerg.
The Zerg had low intelligence and relied entirely on Xu Luo's command as their Overlord. They had no concept of morale, so it couldn't be weakened.
Undeniably, the Two-Headed Ogre's talents and skills were very powerful. If not for the plane's limitations, it wouldn't be just Bronze tier. However, no matter how strong an individual was, they were insignificant against overwhelming numbers.
Even when all the Two-Headed Ogres were present earlier, they weren't a match. Now, with so few left, it was even more hopeless.
Under the Chieftain's Battle Cry buff, the remaining Two-Headed Ogres' morale surged. They all entered Berserk state, further increasing their combat power. But their numbers were too few. Facing the endless Zerg army, they could only fall one by one, eventually being completely overwhelmed, leaving only the Chieftain fighting alone.
Two-Headed Ogres were similar to the Zerg in one aspect - everyone was a soldier, with no concept of the elderly, weak, women, or children. All were warriors, and old Two-Headed Ogres would become food for their own kind. This was their way of survival.
Although the Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain roared constantly, casting spells and swinging its long-handled spiked club to send approaching Zerg flying, wounds on its body inevitably increased.
Despite its powerful healing ability, new wounds appeared faster than they could heal.
The intense pain further fueled its frenzy, causing it to kill in all directions.
Xu Luo constantly received news of his followers' deaths.
He remained unmoved. He had experienced heavy losses in real invasions, let alone in this simulation.
Xu Luo only regretted that this was just a simulation. Otherwise, he would have coveted the Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain's rapid healing ability.
If he could obtain it and integrate it, the Zerg's strength would increase further.
However, no matter how strong an individual was or how powerful their recovery ability, their strength had limits. Under the massive pile of Zerg, the Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain reluctantly fell.
After dealing with the Two-Headed Ogres, Xu Luo went to the location of another species, the Turtle Doves.
However, the Turtle Doves lived on steep cliffs and stayed in the sky, attacking mainly through diving and wind blades. The Zerg had no way to threaten them. After losing a certain number and being forced to flee, Xu Luo ended his invasion.
The last wave was intentionally showing a weakness. It wouldn't be good to appear too strong.
One step ahead is genius, two steps is prodigy, three steps...
[Assessment ended. Calculating results, determining rankings...]
[Cutting connection to God's Domain. Please exit the simulation pod!]
With the mechanical electronic prompt, Xu Luo stepped out of the simulation pod.
The next moment, he saw thousands of teachers and students in the vast battle hall all staring at him. Even in his second life, Xu Luo couldn't help feeling nervous.
The huge hall was silent, with everyone watching him wordlessly.
It was truly a moment in the spotlight.
However, Xu Luo didn't want this treatment at all. At this moment, he only felt a bit flustered.
"Everyone, that ended quite quickly, huh?" Xu Luo said, trying to maintain his composure.
"Xu Luo, return to your class line!" Class teacher Zhang Jianming said sternly, barely containing his excitement.
At this moment, he felt as if he were in a dream.
Although he knew from the beginning that Xu Luo's species must be strong to defeat a rich kid like Xiang Yang, he didn't have an accurate concept of just how strong it was.
Initially, when Xu Luo resolved the invading goblins, it only gave a feeling of "not bad, indeed very strong
."
