Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

"Well, well, well, listen to that. Hitting a dead end, are we?" A sarcastic voice came from nearby.

"As expected of the New Student Champion, so magnanimous. Looking down on the abilities of us ordinary folk. Ah, I'm curious about what exactly Classmate Xu Luo's species is!"

"Xiang Xun, stop with the sarcasm. When did Xu Luo ever say that? Don't twist others' words," Wang Xiaoling stepped in before Xu Luo could react.

"What's this? Upset about losing the New Student Champion title and trying to save face?"

"Wang Xiaoling, what's it to you? It's only been a day, and you're already sucking up. Is it necessary? A merchant is a merchant, reeking of money!"

Xiang Xun mocked rudely, then looked provocatively at Xu Luo.

"What's this? Our New Student Champion can only hide behind a woman? Letting a girl stand up for you. You're really something. I'm so envious of the New Student Champion's charm!"

"You..." Wang Xiaoling was so angry her chest heaved, but she couldn't find words to retort.

Xu Luo frowned. He had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect the other party to come looking for trouble.

In fact, everyone was very curious about what Xu Luo's species actually was. Although they had seen the battle footage yesterday, it wasn't very clear, and they couldn't make out what kind of creatures they were.

"Xu Luo, what kind of species do you have?"

"I saw yesterday's battle too, it was really impressive. Can you sell me some of your units?"

"Yeah, yeah, if possible, I'd like to buy some too."

These classmates all wanted to buy some to study or breed with their own species. Who knows, they might create a new species or get a new mutated species!

Xu Luo didn't completely shut out these people who gathered around him. Although he was a bit exasperated by their attempts to probe his information, he still responded casually.

"They're just some bugs, nothing special."

Hearing this, the surrounding classmates all had a 'are you kidding me' expression.

"Those are bugs? Bugs can have that kind of combat power?"

"A Lord-level Two-Headed Ogre Chieftain was steamrolled. Can bugs do that?"

"Come on, Xu Luo, just tell us. We won't spread your information!"

A group of boys and girls spoke up, not just out of curiosity, but more to gather intelligence on a potential competitor.

Coming from prominent families, they had been influenced since childhood. Even without malicious intent, they were habitually trying to gather information on others.

"They really are just some bugs," Xu Luo said calmly.

Although evolved, the Zerg still fell under the category of insects.

"If you don't want to say, forget it!" Seeing Xu Luo was determined not to speak, the group left disappointedly.

"Xu Luo, are you selling your species? Give me a few to study. I'll offer 500,000 faith power. Equivalent resources or credit points are also fine!" Wang Xiaoling moved closer, her body fragrance wafting towards Xu Luo.

Everyone was interested in mutated species, but not everyone was lucky enough to encounter one.

"I'll offer one million. Sell me a few to study!" At this point, Xiang Xun set aside his provocations and eagerly spoke up.

Mutated species were rare and precious. If he could research something through the Xiang family's power, this expense would be nothing.

If they could really cultivate and breed a new species, it would be even more incredible.

The species currently on the market had been thoroughly studied, and countermeasures were well-known. A new species meant it temporarily had no natural enemies!

At least until people thoroughly understood it.

"Not for sale!" Xu Luo glanced at Xiang Xun and calmly replied.

He wouldn't sell his own species.

Even if he were short on faith power, which he wasn't with his current daily income of several million, he still wouldn't sell his species.

"Buying your species is doing you a favor. Don't be ungrateful!" Xiang Xun was very angry. Xu Luo's refusal was a great humiliation in his eyes.

Just as he was about to say more, he saw a figure at the door and wisely fell silent.

"Good morning, everyone!" Zhong Tianyue walked into the classroom, his gaze sweeping across the room. The previously noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.

Although these students came from extraordinary backgrounds, they still didn't dare to act up in front of the principal.

This was why the principal personally taught the elite class. Ordinary teachers simply couldn't control these students.

Seeing the scene in the classroom, Zhong Tianyue nodded.

"Over the past month, I've taught you, and I'm pleased that for the next month, the vast majority of faces are still familiar to me."

"I will teach the elite class for three years, but as you've seen, not everyone can stay here indefinitely. This time, we've had our first dropout, and I hope that in the future, you can all remain here, rather than more and more people falling behind."

Although Zhong Tianyue didn't state it explicitly, everyone understood the school's mechanism.

There would be a monthly exam, and the elite class only had 50 spots. So only the top 50 in the entire grade could enter. Anyone who fell behind would have to leave.

The elite class didn't have as many courses as regular classes. Apart from theoretical lessons, most of the time was spent on self-study, which meant entering the World of Gods to build their Divine Realms.

This alone gave them much more time to develop their Divine Realms compared to students in regular classes.

Elite class students rarely stayed in the classroom all the time. They could be found at various special facilities throughout the school.

Compared to the small subsidy, the reason these students valued the elite class was precisely because of these special facilities.

The simulation combat arena allowed them to conduct simulated battles, choosing different species to fight.

The actual combat arena allowed students to connect their Divine Realms for battles.

The plane exploration hall let them start exploring different planes, setting them apart from regular students right from the start.

There were many more benefits besides these, both hidden and public.

Regular students could use these facilities too, but they had limited time, and using these facilities cost money. Once or twice was fine, but they couldn't afford long-term use.

In comparison, the elite class's monthly subsidy of one million faith power was just the most basic benefit.

This was the advantage of the elite class. Just the most basic benefit of one million faith power would take regular class students how long to accumulate on their own?

Without family support, this gap was impossible to bridge.

Over time, the elite class students would only get stronger, and the gap between them and regular classes would widen.

Although cruel, this was the current national situation. Human civilization had to concentrate limited resources on cultivating true powerhouses, rather than nurturing numerous ordinary Gods.
