50: Chapter 50 The Seven Heroes of the Celestial Calamity, Wu Feng... Wu Feng!
The monthly examination for the Divine Path Class generally determines the final ranking based on the combined scores from two rounds: the Unrestricted Arena and the Restricted Arena.
In the past, there was no suspense about who would take first place in the monthly exam; that position had always been Ye Kaige's.
But today...
After the number tags were distributed, all the Students turned their gaze toward Chen Mo and Ye Kaige.
Many people had even started placing bets on who would be the final first place in the monthly exam.
"I still think it's more likely that Ye Kaige will take first place. Having a strong kin doesn't mean one's own strength is strong, and how long has Chen Mo been promoted?"
"You said the same thing before the Restricted Arena," one Student said sarcastically.
"So you support Chen Mo?"
"No, I support Ye Kaige."
"Get lost."
...
Facts proved that most people still felt that Ye Kaige would retain the first place in the monthly exam.
Although Chen Mo had become the biggest dark horse of this monthly exam, if his performance in the Unrestricted Arena was even slightly worse, his total score would not be able to catch up with Ye Kaige's.
From beginning to end, there was only one way for him to take first place.
First place in both arenas!
"Number 30!"
Chen Mo glanced at the number tag in his hand, then looked at Ye Kaige, who held number 1 and had a bye once again.
The other party was also looking at him, his gaze very intense.
"I'll wait for you!"
Chen Mo understood the meaning in the other's eyes, and then quite 'politely' returned a smile.
The next second, the light of the teleportation array enveloped everyone, and Chen Mo welcomed his first opponent in the Unrestricted Arena.
"Huh, I got matched so quickly," the Student who was also teleported to the floating island felt slightly surprised.
For the safety of the Students, the Unrestricted Arena must be personally overseen by a True God-level teacher.
Therefore, in almost every monthly exam, he would only get matched very late; only when the fighting progressed further would the queuing speed up a bit.
But soon, this Student realized that it was not his luck this time; on the contrary, he had drawn the worst possible lot.
"Chen Mo, I didn't expect to meet you in the first round."
"Nice to meet you!"
Chen Mo smiled politely. He didn't have much of an impression of this classmate and didn't even remember the other's name.
"I know I can't beat you," the Student sighed softly.
"But I'm not like those guys who deceive themselves. If you can beat Ye Kaige with your kin, your own strength won't be that far off even if it's slightly inferior. However..."
In an instant, surging divine power began to gather in his palm; it looked like an offensive Tier 0 Divine Art.
For Students who had not comprehended laws, Tier 0 Divine Arts were their limit.
But what surprised Chen Mo was that this person's casting speed was actually faster than many demigods who had comprehended laws.
In the blink of an eye, an arm-length beam of light shot toward Chen Mo.
"Interesting, you've really mastered this Tier 0 Divine Art!"
The moment the beam was about to arrive, a boulder over ten meters tall suddenly rose from beneath Chen Mo's feet, blocking the beam just right.
"What's your name? Sorry, I can't recall it for a moment!"
Chen Mo looked at the figure who was still accumulating divine arts and trying to bypass the boulder to attack him from different angles, and chuckled.
"Wu Feng!"
"Mm, I'll remember it."
A trace of appreciation appeared in Chen Mo's eyes; he had heard Bai Yuanyu mention this person before.
The other party was also a lucky one from an ordinary family who happened to possess divinity, but compared to Bai Yuanyu's relatively well-off family, this person had it much worse.
It was said that his father died on the extraterrestrial battlefield shortly after he was born, and his mother was just an ordinary demigod who slowly grinded her way up over time.
Being able to grow up in the Divine Path Class with such a family background, and even condensing a Divine Domain before many others, was enough to prove his talent and hard work.
"Do you have any other divine arts?" Chen Mo, who had only been defending passively, suddenly spoke.
"Yes!"
Wu Feng's answer was concise, and then Chen Mo was surprised to find that another figure had appeared behind him at some point.
Tier 0 Dark-type Divine Art: Shadow Clone.
This divine art was not actually the key; the key was that the other party had actually released the divine art without him noticing at all.
Before he could figure out the key to it, two beams of light had already shot over from two completely different directions.
"Light, dark, Wu Feng, Wu...feng!"
Chen Mo's breath suddenly hitched, and he looked in disbelief at the young man not far away who was still giving his all despite knowing he was outmatched.
Quite talented in both light and dark divine arts, from the Northern Region, 300 years ago.
Damn, it matches up!
Chen Mo had felt the name was familiar when he heard it, but instinctively thought it was because Bai Yuanyu had mentioned him.
But the truth was...
"The youngest Major General in the Federation, one of the Seven Heroes of the Immortal Calamity, the super genius with the most hope of ascending to the Supreme Being in the next ten thousand years, is my... classmate!"
Chen Mo stared fixedly at the young man opposite him.
"Why aren't you fighting back?"
Looking at Chen Mo, who was still only defending passively, Wu Feng couldn't help but frown.
Compared to Chen Mo deliberately holding back, he would rather Chen Mo defeat him cleanly and efficiently.
This wasn't because he had a masochistic tendency, but because of his few and highly cherished self-respect.
Chen Mo suddenly snapped out of it: "I was thinking about some things, I was a bit distracted."
Chen Mo took a deep look at "Wu Feng"; this "Commander of the Wu Feng Army," who was still using his real name, seemed quite competitive.
"If you want to fight, then fight seriously. It's impossible for me to admit defeat."
Wu Feng looked at Chen Mo with some dissatisfaction, and then continued to attack in his own way.
But Chen Mo could tell that the other party was very economical with his divine power.
That Tier 0 Light-type Divine Art was being used with almost the minimum energy consumption.
"Forget it, we'll talk about befriending him later. I have to take care of his feelings, right?"
Chen Mo thought to himself, while a new divine art light already shone on his hand.
Tier 0 Fusion Divine Art, [White Bone Divine Descent]!
"This is..."
Wu Feng looked in disbelief at the black-robed death god that appeared out of thin air and instantly arrived in front of him.
Almost out of instinct, he prepared to have his shadow clone swap positions with him.
But before he could do so, the shadow clone behind Chen Mo had already been buried alive by a pile of boulders.
"Whoosh!"
The teleportation light appeared.
Only Chen Mo was left on the floating island, and after taking a deep look at him, Duan Fei teleported to another floating island to begin the next match.
