23: Chapter 23 Five-game winning streak, tacit approval
It's starting!
Inside the world constructed of countless data, Administrator 56 watched the battle he had 'specifically arranged' with excitement.
Ganyu Chenlun, real name Nie Feng.
This was an observation subject that other Administrators had discovered and eventually abandoned.
As for why they abandoned him, it was naturally because this person had not yet reached the standard threshold for investment by those forces.
However, this does not mean Nie Feng has completely lost his chance; if he can make significant progress in the future, he will be added to the observation list again.
Administrator 56 had no interest in Nie Feng; although there was some possibility, even if he could meet the requirements, he would only be of the lowest tier.
But Chen Mo was completely different, especially after he displayed two self-created fusion Divine Arts.
...
"Roar!"
An elemental giant constructed of pure magma strode toward Chen Mo with determined steps.
Without a doubt, Nie Feng possessed Laws, and his level of comprehension was not low.
This also allowed his speed of using Divine Arts to surpass Chen Mo's current speed.
"Interesting."
Chen Mo looked at the magma giant, which was over ten meters tall and charging straight at him, and his own Divine Art was completed at this moment.
In an instant, the ground began to shake violently.
Countless fragmented rocks flew toward Chen Mo at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they formed an insurmountable, massive barrier in front of the magma giant.
"Rumble!"
After a loud crash, the magma giant stared at the stone wall in front of it in confusion.
It did not understand why it, being so powerful, could not even break through this wall that was less than three meters thick.
Seeing this scene, both Nie Feng and Administrator 56, who was watching, were shocked.
What surprised Nie Feng was that Chen Mo had actually mastered a Tier 1 Divine Art, and a defensive one at that.
Administrator 56 was astonished that Chen Mo had displayed yet another Law; adding the previous Death and Calamity, that made three.
"No wonder you could achieve a four-win streak; you really have mastered Laws."
Nie Fengβs face revealed excitement, and the second Divine Art condensing in his hands radiated brilliance at this moment.
In the sky, a touch of fiery red was rapidly expanding, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a giant fire dragon with wings.
This was not an elemental summoning Divine Art like the magma giant, but a purely offensive Divine Art.
"Divine Art: Fire Dragon's Wrath!"
Having completed the final preparations for his Divine Art, Nie Feng roared, and the crimson fire dragon hovering in mid-air charged straight at Chen Mo.
But just as it was about to collide with the stone barrier formed by 'Earth Control', a deep black, ghostly glint had already quietly spread toward Nie Feng's soul.
Fast casting, quick effects, and high stealth.
These were the three major advantages of the Divine Art 'Withered Bones'.
Of course, it was not without countermeasures, such as defensive Divine Arts specifically designed to protect the soul.
But clearly, Nie Feng did not have Divine Arts in this regard, and the result was...
"Boom!"
Before it could collide with the stone barrier, the giant fire dragon had already self-destructed in mid-air.
Not only that, but the magma giant below, which was still charging full force at the barrier, also rapidly disintegrated within a few short seconds.
As for why this happened, one only needed to look at their caster, Nie Feng.
At this moment, where was his earlier high spirits? All that remained were his increasingly murky, bloodshot pupils and hair that was beginning to turn yellow and dry.
Nie Feng shook his dizzy head and gave a bitter smile at Chen Mo.
"Impressive. This is the first time I've seen a Divine Art that specializes in the soul in the arena, and a fusion Divine Art at that, even if it is only Tier 0."
"I accept your concession."
Chen Mo cupped his hands; he also had a good impression of this person.
"How about we add each other as contacts? We can spar and exchange pointers in the future."
Taking advantage of the fact that the power of decay had not yet completely extinguished his consciousness, Nie Feng hurriedly said, and sent a friend request to Chen Mo.
"Sure." Chen Mo nodded and pressed the confirm button.
"Then, goodbye."
Before his voice faded, Nie Feng turned into countless points of light.
Until he completely died, he did not surrender.
It was not just because of a young man's pride, but also because he wanted to accumulate some experience in dealing with such Divine Arts.
"Winner, Chen Mos former in-game nickname, you have achieved a five-win streak. Do you wish to continue."
"Friendly reminder: after a high win streak, the strength of matched opponents will increase exponentially. Please proceed with caution."
"Continue."
Chen Mo did not hesitate in the slightest.
"Matching started. We wish you a pleasant battle."
...
In the real world, inside the principal's office of the Lanshan First God Academy.
"Principal, this is the report card for this week's exam."
Duan Fei stood in front of the desk and handed the report he had prepared long ago to the old man in front of him.
The old man was very tall, even a head taller than Duan Fei in front of him, and looked comparable to the burly Du Ruo.
"Hmm!"
As the principal, Li Chengsheng nodded and took the report to examine it carefully.
Soon, his gaze was drawn to the name ranked first.
"Ye Kaige has made great progress. I remember that the tenth level you designed features Tier 7 kin, right?"
"Yes, the tenth level will have three Tier 7 kin. This time, I arranged for Tier 7 Storm Priest."
"Not bad!" Li Chengsheng nodded again, a rare smile appearing in his eyes.
In this batch, Ye Kaige is the most outstanding Student and the only true 'genius' in the Divine Path Class with hope of entering a top-tier High Academy.
As for Du Ruo and the other offspring of a True God, Liu Yiyi.
How should I put it, although Du Ruo also possesses high divinity, the resources given to individuals by aristocratic families are ultimately limited.
And although Liu Yiyi is the offspring of a True God, she has been protected too well, her personality is too soft, and her motivation to improve is clearly insufficient.
Shaking his head, Li Chengsheng turned his gaze toward some of the Students ranked lower.
He was aware of the top Students in these classes, but soon an unfamiliar name appeared in his line of sight.
"Chen Mo?"
Li Chengsheng raised his eyes to look at Duan Fei, who was standing upright, his face showing confusion.
And the other party understood instantly, or rather, had long anticipated his principal's reaction.
"This is a Student who has just condensed a Divine Domain and has not participated in the weekly or monthly exams before."
"Just condensed a Divine Domain?" Li Chengsheng frowned slightly.
"Principal, I have observed that his kin did not use secret techniques to catalyze, nor are there any signs of taking magic potions or secret medicines," Duan Fei hurriedly explained.
"Is that so?" Li Chengsheng's furrowed brows relaxed, and he scrutinized the unfamiliar name, Chen Mo, a few more times.
"The monthly exam is in a few days, right?"
"Yes, Principal!"
"Then let's see his performance in the monthly exam. If he meets the standard, do as you see fit."
Duan Fei felt joy in his heart; this was actually his purpose this time.
After the weekly exam ended, he had already discussed it with two other teachers.
If Chen Mo's performance in the monthly exam remained dazzling, he could be given appropriate support.
This support was actually a special 'scholarship' given to the academy by the Federal Education Bureau. The quota was limited, and the final decision-making power was not in the hands of teachers like them, but in the hands of the principal.
Fortunately, the principal also had some interest in Chen Mo and tacitly approved of his idea.
