15: Chapter 15 So what if he has dragon blood? Bai Ze will crush any dissent.

The battle had completely come to an end.

Lin Feng and Gu Ze both pushed open the simulation pod doors and walked to the center of the arena.

"Lin Feng, I admit defeat wholeheartedly." Gu Ze let out a long sigh of relief, his tone devoid of any jealousy, filled only with admiration.

Raising a Titan Thunder Bear is a pure money pit.

Without the bottomless investment of a massive family, it would be impossible to raise a Tier 3 commander-level beast.

Looking at the civilian student in front of him with no background, who had destroyed all those impressive achievements single-handedly, Gu Ze was completely convinced.

Gu Ze was completely convinced.

"It was purely luck." Lin Feng waved his hand.

His mind was only focused on keeping a low profile to make money to raise his divine beast; he had no desire to be in the spotlight.

"Lin Feng!"

"Lin Feng!"

The overwhelming cheers threatened to blow the roof off the simulation hall.

A battle that crowned him a legend; after today, there would definitely be no one in the school who didn't know Lin Feng's name.

"Everyone, quiet down!"

On the main viewing platform, an instructor stood up to maintain order.

"The assessment is over, the system is generating the final rankings!"

"The top ten in the individual competition, as well as the top team in the team competition, will represent our school in tomorrow's Ten-School Joint Exam."

Taking advantage of the instructor announcing the follow-up matters, Tang You and Chu Yun hurried over.

"Brother, you are practically a god descended to earth! Even the great genius Gu Ze was rubbed into the ground by you!" Chu Yun was so excited he was incoherent, "Tomorrow in the team competition, I'm just going to lie flat and ride your coattails!"

The negative example standing nearby, Gu Ze, coughed awkwardly, reminding his teammate that he was still standing right there.

Tang You, like a light butterfly, moved to Lin Feng's side and grabbed his arm.

"Lin Feng, what exactly is that beautiful white tiger with wings under your command? Can you give me one too?" The girl's watery eyes were full of little stars, enough to give anyone goosebumps.

Lin Feng pulled his arm back calmly.

"It's called Bai Ze. There is only one in the entire world, absolutely no others, I can't give it to you."

"Only one..." The girl looked crestfallen.

But soon, the little rich girl's money-power attribute awakened again. She bit her pink lips, "Name your price, will you sell it to me? Ten million... no, fifty million! I'll transfer fifty million drops of divine power to you right now!"

Good grief!

Lin Feng exclaimed inwardly, good grief!

The richest man's daughter treated money like dirt.

Although fifty million divine power was very tempting, he would never trade his own life-saving trump card for money.

While they were talking, the final results refreshed on the giant holographic screen.

The instructor began to read the list.

"Top team in the team battle: Lin Feng, Tang You, Gu Ze, Chu Yun."

"The final rankings for the individual battle are as follows:"

"First place: Lin Feng."

"Second place: Gu Ze."

"Third place: Tang You."

"Fourth place: Chen Le."

"Fifth place: Chu Yun..."

Hearing the announced list, there were mixed feelings in the venue.

Failing to get the ticket to the top ten meant losing the qualification to show one's face in front of various big shots.

The ladder to guaranteed admission to elite schools or even entering the upper echelons of the military was completely cut off.

There was only one chance; if it wasn't seized, it could never be regained.

...

Evening.

The ten selected top students gathered in the top-floor office of the administration building.

Principal Qin sat behind a large solid wood desk, his gaze sweeping over the young faces before him, speaking earnestly.

"The ten of you will represent No. 1 High School tomorrow to participate in the Joint Exam at the center plaza of Xinghai City. You must give it your all; not only to bring glory to the school, but also to pave the way for your own future."

Next, Principal Qin detailed the background of the Ten-School Joint Exam.

The examination venue is set at the center of the Municipal Plaza.

By then, the supreme administrator of Xinghai City, military commanders, principals of all schools, and even giants of major chambers of commerce would personally attend to observe.

The competition footage would be broadcast live to the entire city's citizens via the Star Network.

On such a stage, which attracted everyone's attention, the rewards were naturally so generous that they made people envious.

The winner of the top spot, in addition to a direct reward of one million drops of divine power, could also freely choose any of the top deity academies in the entire alliance.

In fact, for the children of wealthy families with deep foundations, one million divine power was nothing; they valued the olive branches from the military and political circles more.

Looking around the office, the only money-grubber purely aiming for the prize money was likely Lin Feng.

The top spot in the Ten-School Joint Exam in Xinghai City had long been monopolized by No. 1 High School.

No. 1 High School had a foundation as deep as the abyss, suppressing the other nine schools for decades.

In previous years, Principal Qin only sought to secure second or third place to consider the mission accomplished.

But this year, the situation had changed.

Looking at Lin Feng standing at the very front of the line, a flash of fanatical anticipation crossed the old principal's eyes.

With this peerless dark horse whose combat power was unfathomable.

Perhaps tomorrow, the invincible myth of No. 1 High School... could really be broken!

...

After listening for a long time in the office, Lin Feng finally understood the situation for tomorrow.

Winning first place in the Ten-School Joint Exam would not only get him huge benefits, but also help the school gain a wave of prestige.

No. 1 High School's foundation was unfathomable; it definitely hid perverted geniuses possessing Tier 4 trump cards.

Relying solely on Gu Ze to fight would definitely not be able to withstand the opponent's offensive.

Tomorrow's competition, the real highlights were all in the individual battles; the team competition was at best a side dish.

"Alright, everyone else go home and get some good rest first, Lin Feng stay behind."

Finally, Principal Qin dismissed the other students, and the instructor nearby also very tactfully left the room.

In the spacious office, only Principal Qin and Lin Feng remained.

"Principal, you kept me behind, do you have any instructions?" Lin Feng asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"In tomorrow's finals, I want you to bring first place back to No. 3 High School for me." The old man looked full of anticipation.

"You just said it yourself, the top seed from No. 1 High School likely has a Tier 4 combat force in their hands." Lin Feng rubbed his chin, his tone very calm.

"So what?" Principal Qin didn't care at all, "Everyone is Tier 4, but strength is divided into different levels."

That's true.

A Tier 4 pig and a Tier 4 dragon, could they be the same thing?

The combat power was completely worlds apart.

Of course, no one would be stupid enough to dump countless resources into feeding a pig to Tier 4.

"Lin Feng, do you know why the totem of our Great Xia Alliance has always been the Divine Dragon?"

Principal Qin sighed and slowly recounted a secret matter, "Because the Divine Dragon is our Alliance's top-tier combat power."

"How strong can it be?" Lin Feng asked, following the thread of the conversation.

"I heard that in the highest military headquarters of the Alliance's imperial capital, there is a true Tier 9 Deity enshrined, as well as a Tier 9 Xinghai Divine Dragon!"

The old principal shook his head at this point, "Of course, this is just news leaked from the high levels of the military; I haven't had the good fortune to see it with my own eyes in my life."

Tier 9!

Hearing these two words, Lin Feng didn't speak.

The pressure released by a Tier 5 Deity was already enough to make people unable to breathe.

A Tier 9 True God, just how terrifying was its destructive power? It was impossible to imagine.

"The Xinghai Divine Dragon is the guardian deity of the entire Alliance; it has made tremendous contributions on the Outer Realm Battlefield and has wiped out countless foreign enemies." Principal Qin continued to educate him.

"Are there monsters in the world that can go toe-to-toe with a Tier 9 Divine Dragon?" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

"Of course there are, for example, the Tier 9 Void-Splitting Divine Eagle of the White Eagle Alliance, the Tier 9 Yamata no Orochi of the Red Sun Island Nation..."

Halfway through his sentence, Principal Qin coughed twice and quickly pulled the topic back.

"I've digressed. In short, tomorrow's deadly enemy is definitely not simple. I guess the top-seeded player from No. 1 High School definitely has a species with some Dragon bloodline!"

"Dragon? Could it be a Divine Dragon?"

"Purebred Divine Dragons are too rare; they are national treasure level, and high school students definitely can't come into contact with them. But as long as it has a trace of Dragon blood, it's enough to crush opponents of the same level."

Principal Qin analyzed seriously, "Just like Tang You's Phantom Color Spirit Dragon, the Dragon bloodline has faded to the point of being almost invisible. Even so, this girl can still walk sideways in the support class. How fierce the Dragon race is, you can imagine just by thinking about it."

Lin Feng nodded in deep agreement.

The old man's meaning was very clear; tomorrow's opponent was likely a beast with dragon scales and off-the-charts combat power, and he absolutely could not be careless.

"I have a grasp on it; I will definitely not underestimate the enemy."

"Very good, go back and rest."

...

The sky was pitch black.

Lin Feng pushed open the gate of the small western-style house.

Just as he threw himself onto the soft bed, crisp notification sounds popped up in the depths of his mind one after another.

"Ding! The mother beast has finished digesting, the divine skill has reached the enhancement standard!"

"Ding! Bai Ze has absorbed a massive amount of high-tier spiritual herbs and will soon be able to break through to Tier 4!"

Can it level up?

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled up the holographic panel.
