40: Chapter 40 Jiang Xuan

Sunshine High School is a key high school in Linjiang City that has consistently ranked in the top three year-round.

Here, the proportion of students admitted to A-grade universities every year is close to 1%, and the school has even produced geniuses admitted to S-grade institutions in its history.

You must know that within the star domains controlled by the entire Human Alliance, out of thousands of planets, there are only a little over a hundred S-rated universities. One can imagine just how difficult admission is.

On the entire Canglan Star, there is only one S-grade university institution—Astra Academy.

In the principal's office, a handsome young man sat in a deep black office chair with his legs crossed and resting on the desk.

He cupped his chin with one hand, while his other hand gently shook the goblet in his grasp, the red liquid inside swirling slowly with his movements.

The ice cubes in the cup clinked, producing a crisp sound.

His gaze fell on the holographic screen in front of him, which showed the scene on the playground of Sunshine High School.

Standing behind him was a woman wearing a black professional uniform.

The woman's long golden hair was simply tied behind her head, revealing her delicate facial features.

Her blue eyes were as moving as magnificent gemstones, and a pair of smart silver glasses rested on the bridge of her nose.

Most eye-catching was her proud bosom; the first glance anyone took of her would be drawn right there, and the barely-contained waves were enough to make anyone who saw them feel somewhat suffocated.

Her black suit jacket was so tight-fitting that it was hard not to suspect that in the next second, those pitiful buttons would snap straight off from the unbearable burden.

Beneath her exquisite skirt suit was a pair of slender and straight long legs, tightly hugged by deep black silk stockings that outlined the beautiful curves of her legs.

The silver-rimmed glasses added a touch of intellectual charm to her, while the black red-bottomed high heels added a bit of sexiness and allure.

At this moment, an indifferent face flashed across the holographic projection.

Eileen reported dutifully to the man sitting in the chair: "Ye Tian, the most outstanding performer among this year's students. The only son of Ye Mingyuan, chairman of Maple Leaf Group."

The man asked lazily: "Maple Leaf Group? Is that the largest energy giant in Xingyun Province?"

"Yes."

Then the image shifted again, and a somewhat delicate-looking girl appeared on the projection.

She wore a light green long dress, and her shoulder-length hair was tied behind her head with a simple wooden hairpin.

The girl's brows and eyes were extremely gentle, and her clear eyes were like a pool of pristine spring water, instantly creating a sense of intimacy for anyone who laid eyes on her.

She was just like an elf stepping out of the forest.

Eileen continued to introduce: "Muxi, the daughter of Morning Glow Company, a genius second only to Ye Tian. Her true strength is in stark contrast to her fragile appearance."

The man didn't care about this; after taking a sip of the red wine in his cup, he asked an irrelevant question: "I heard that Morning Glow Company is currently developing some kind of new potion?"

True to being a professional secretary, Eileen quickly found the relevant information in her mind: "Rumor has it that it seems to be a kind of potion that can greatly accelerate the evolution of ordinary believers' life levels."

"However, the authenticity of the news is not necessarily reliable; it was spread by their competitor, Vita Company."

The man sneered: "These parasites are still the same as ever. What time is it, and they are still infighting here? The frontline battle is getting tighter by the day, yet they still have the mind to scheme against each other here."

After he finished speaking, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Seeming to recall some unpleasant things, the man didn't hear a single word of Eileen's subsequent introduction.

...

On the other side, more than 5,000 students of Sunshine High School had all gathered.

The playground was bustling with noise, and Fang Yun and Wang Xinrou were also among the crowd, completely inconspicuous.

Many students were seeing so many peers offline for the first time.

"So many people." Wang Xinrou whispered, standing in the crowd with a somewhat surprised look.

She had come to school with Fang Yun in the morning, while Wang Xinyu stayed in the Fang Family villa; anyway, her classes were conducted in the virtual space.

"Yeah, there really are a lot. I wonder what the assessment method is today?" Fang Yun nodded.

This past month, he had basically been able to solidify a green dice buff every day, with the amplification degree of each green dice being around 10%.

In between, there were also two times when his luck was bad and all the refreshed dice were white.

At this moment, after a month of solidifying, Fang Yun's Divine Kingdom believers' combat power had been greatly enhanced.

[Physical Attributes: Strength +40%, Defense +30%, Vital Qi +20%, Stamina +20%, Recovery +30%. Resistances: Toxin Resistance +30%, Flame Resistance +20%, Ice Resistance +10%, Mental Resistance +20%, Fatigue Resistance +10%]

To prepare for this exam, all the buffs he took were aimed at enhancing the believers' strength; he didn't want a single resource-buffing dice.

At the same time, this month he had successively purchased quite a few defensive buildings from the Fang Family and the Alliance Mall, totaling about 100 million faith points.

E-grade building [Thorn Jungle]: Generates special thorns in a designated area. The surface of the plants carries paralyzing toxins, they have tenacious vitality, entangle enemies, and reduce movement speed.

E-grade building [Fog Barrier]: After entering the fog, a person's sense of direction is reduced, perception drops, and naked-eye visibility inside the fog is low.

D-grade building [Venomous Fog Swamp]: Automatically generates venomous fog and a swamp; it is recommended to be used in combination with [Fog Barrier].

In the swamp, under Eve's recommendation, Fang Yun purchased a batch of highly toxic leeches and poison dart frogs and released them in.

This special highly toxic leech is extremely small in size, similar to an ant. Not only can it attach to a person's body imperceptibly, but it will also slowly inject a neurotoxin to paralyze them.

Poison dart frogs are a D-grade toxic spiritual beast inhabiting swamp areas. Their mouths can shoot sword-like toxic liquids which are very potent and strongly corrosive. Ordinary Homo Sapiens believers would die upon touching them, which is how poison dart frogs got their name.

Eve recommended using poison dart frogs as surface defense, but in reality, the highly toxic leeches were the true killer move.

In addition, Fang Yun also purchased a D-grade [War Puppet Workshop], which can consume spiritual qi and rock to manufacture war puppets with strength comparable to ordinary Homo Sapiens.

It can produce ten puppets a day, and Fang Yun intended to use these puppets as cannon fodder on the outermost periphery.

The quantity of defensive buildings purchased was not very large, covering less than one-tenth of the area on the periphery of the Divine Kingdom's core region.

Fang Yun found that if he wanted full coverage, it would still require at least several billion faith points, so he temporarily stopped purchasing defensive buildings.

Solidifying talents cost him 150 million faith points, purchasing defensive buildings cost 100 million faith points, and coupled with last month's income, Fang Yun still had 212.89 million faith points in his hands.

The teachers of each class were standing at the front of their class queues at this moment, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of the principal.

At nine o'clock in the morning.

Above Sunshine High School, a wave of invisible fluctuation suddenly came, and the fluctuation had no aggressiveness whatsoever.

But the moment everyone felt it, their bodies instinctively stiffened for a moment.

As if their life instinct was reminding them that some existence far surpassing them had descended.

In the next second, a figure silently and punctually appeared on the viewing platform, and no one noticed when he appeared.

Principal of Sunshine High School.

Jiang Xuan.

This was an extremely mysterious figure.

He rarely showed up at school on usual days, and apart from a very few teachers, few people had truly seen what he looked like.

Therefore, when more than 5,000 students saw this legendary principal up close for the first time, a low murmur of discussion suddenly sounded across the entire playground.

"Holy crap, so young and so handsome."

"This is Jiang Xuan?"

"Real or fake? He looks only in his twenties, right?"

"Bro, are you stupid? A deity's life level surpasses ordinary people's, and their appearance can naturally be adjusted at will."

"You guys only pay attention to the principal's looks, whereas what I focus on is the principal's strength. It's just... you know."

"No, what the hell, where did Jiahao come from?"

Although everyone deliberately lowered their voices, with over 5,000 people gathered together, the fragmented murmurs still spread like a tide.
