119: Chapter 119 What can a mere demigod possibly use to compete with my followers?

When she woke up in the morning, Hu Rong reported a piece of good news to Lin Xiao. She had advanced to a Demigod!

Lin Xiao was a bit stunned when he heard this news. This was the first of his subordinates to successfully advance since he started recruiting.

"Well done. Starting today, your daily salary will be increased from one hundred to 1,000 divine power points. Also..."

As Lin Xiao spoke, he began to organize the rewards in his System space: a demigod weapon and a Puppet crafted from a demigod's corpse.

A Spiritual Vein, one hundred sets of Medium Grade Magical Artifacts, one hundred Qi Refining Realm Yao Beasts, plus 10,000 divine power points.

Looking at the detailed information on the resource cards in her hand, Hu Rong felt her heart rate quicken significantly. She hurriedly bowed and declined.

"These resources are far too precious. You have already treated me very generously, My Lord. I absolutely cannot accept these resources."

Lin Xiao simply waved his hand dismissively at this.

"Just take the rewards I gave you. I said it early on: following me will not leave you at a disadvantage. If you want to express your gratitude, then work hard to improve your strength. Advancing to an Intermediate God or even a High-rank God—that is the best way to thank me."

"I will definitely redouble my efforts and will not disappoint My Lord's painstaking cultivation!"

Before long, the group of Divine Beings had gathered on the second floor of the Commission Temple. Fang Yuan and the others felt the deep and surging Divine Power fluctuations emanating from Hu Rong, and their faces were filled with envy.

"I've long known that Sister Hu has extraordinary talent, but I didn't expect you to advance to a Demigod so quickly. If Uncle Hu finds out, who knows how happy he'll be."

Hu Rong was also all smiles at this moment. Once upon a time, her greatest wish was to become a Second-order Deity. But now, her goal had changed; she might as well try for an Intermediate God!

"You don't need to envy me. Under My Lord's painstaking cultivation, I believe you all will also advance to Demigods soon. As for my dad, that stubborn old man, forget it. Unless I can become stronger than them, who knows what he'll say about me."

Outside the Commission Temple, a flying boat was hovering quietly in the sky. Lin Xiao took his group of Divine Being subordinates, as well as Meng Ning and a dozen or so other deities, onto the flying boat.

"I've troubled you, Principal."

Principal Li Qingyun's pupils contracted when he sensed the Divine Power fluctuations from Xuan Liu and the other three. On the surface, however, he smiled calmly.

"I am just going the same way. I heard some rumors yesterday. I suspect there might be some turbulence in today's assessment, so you should be careful, young friend."

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise at these words, a smile appearing on his face.

"Thank you for the reminder, Principal. But it is just a class placement assessment. A few ripples at most will only serve as entertainment; surely they wouldn't make us Divine Beings fight against deities, right?"

"I was just saying it offhand. It is good for you to be prepared, young friend."

The flying boat soon brought the group to the No. 1 High School campus. At this moment, the campus showed no traces of having been destroyed just a few days ago.

Outside the school, some students' parents were looking at the projection screen outside the school with anxious faces, praying that their children would have a good performance.

If they could be spotted by Lord Lin and taken in as a Slave God, they would instantly soar to the skies.

As for the Elders and deacons of those powerful clans and large factions, they were all sitting in the viewing area inside the campus with smiles on their faces.

As the flying boat landed, Lin Xiao and his group of Divine Beings headed to the examination venue first.

"This young friend Lin isn't very strong, but he sure has airs. Not only was he personally picked up by the Principal, but he also arrived at the very last minute. Tsk tsk..."

"Should we say he is worthy of being a figure who stirs up the winds and clouds in the county? This display is truly something ordinary people cannot compare to."

Listening to these deities' Yin and Yang sarcastic remarks, Meng Ning and the dozen or so others had very ugly expressions. If it weren't for My Lord's earlier instructions not to cause trouble, they would have already started fighting these people by now.

This was only because Xuan Liu and the others had hidden their tracks; otherwise, if these so-called Elders and deacons saw the four of them, how would they dare to speak so recklessly?

The Principal naturally heard these words, but he showed no change in expression. He simply spoke in a flat tone.

"Are you all blaming me for not coming over earlier?"

Although the Chen Family, Fang Family, and other powerful clans and large factions had sponsored the school with many resources, their descendants also enjoyed treatment in school that ordinary students could not compare to.

The school and these clans and factions had a mutually beneficial relationship. If it were normal times, that would be fine, but now Principal Li Qingyun intended to have his subordinates from the outer regions come to register as members.

With a relationship of interest, he naturally had a different stance. Taking a step back, even without considering these interests, just having the four Third-order Deities like Xuan Liu as guards was not something he could underestimate.

He did not expect Principal Li Qingyun to speak up for Lin Xiao, which caused the expressions of the various clan Elders and faction deacons to darken for a moment.

How long has it been? Unexpectedly, this Lin Xiao had managed to win over the Principal so quickly. This only strengthened everyone's resolve to drive him away.

However, the next instant, they immediately put on warm smiles and bowed to the Principal.

"What are you saying, Principal? How would we dare to criticize you?"

"Yes, yes, how would we dare to speak ill of you, Principal?"

After a small interlude, the teacher presiding over the assessment announced that the assessment had officially begun!

Just as Teacher Tong Qian had said, this assessment had been moved to the Divine Kingdom of a Demigod. The students passed through a teleportation device, and their figures appeared one after another in this alien Demigod's Divine Kingdom.

"Is this a Demigod's Divine Kingdom? It's so huge! And the Spiritual Qi is so abundant. If my Believers could live in this environment, their strength improvement would be at least a big chunk faster!"

"Look! It's F-grade spiritual plants! Such a huge patch!"

Just as the students were exclaiming, some students had already begun to release large numbers of Believers to start gathering.

This assessment would be judged comprehensively from three directions.

They were: gathering resources, acquiring buildings, and the number of enemies killed.

Furthermore, the Principal had already stated that all resources obtained in this assessment would be distributed to them as rewards.

On one hand, there were assessment points, and on the other, direct rewards. This two-pronged approach made some students, who had originally planned to just walk around and run, change their minds.

At the very least, they had to scrounge up some more resources before running, right?

Students from ordinary backgrounds quickly took their Believers and scattered, searching the outskirts to see if there were more resource gathering points.

As for the descendants of those powerful clans and large factions, they had joined forces. They formed three squads, each leading hundreds of thousands of Believers, marching swiftly and imposingly toward the center of the Divine Kingdom.

On the other side, Lin Xiao was accompanied by 10,000 fully armed Second-order Believers, with High Grade Magical Artifact Flying Swords in their hands emitting various colors of spiritual light.

The High Grade Magical Artifact armor on their bodies flashed with spiritual light from time to time. The profound Formation patterns made the armor look exceptionally extraordinary.

The Believers had three Storage Pouches tucked at their waists. One of them was equipped with a large quantity of Medicinal Pills for healing, detoxifying, recovering, saving lives, and even stimulating potential.

Not only could this make them more durable and have longer endurance, but it also allowed them to unleash stronger power in a short period. The existence of life-saving and healing Medicinal Pills meant the Believers had absolutely no worries.

As long as they discovered danger that couldn't be resolved in a short time, they would immediately consume the Medicinal Pills to stimulate their own potential and fight the opponent to the death!

Another one contained a massive amount of various Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Talismans. Once the situation went wrong, all the Believers would immediately transform into mobile artillery platforms.

Under the coverage of a massive amount of Talismans, even if it were a Foundation Establishment Realm Believer, they were confident they could quickly blast them to death!

In the last Storage Pouch were one hundred Medium Grade Magical Artifact Puppets (Foundation Establishment Realm) and ten High Grade Magical Artifact Puppets (Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm)!

Once they discovered that the enemy's strength was too powerful, they would immediately throw out the Puppet army to conduct a rapid sweep.

And the ten captains of the thousand-man squads each carried a demigod weapon and a demigod Puppet!

Once the battlefield situation deteriorated irreversibly, the ten demigod weapons and ten demigod Puppets would be their final trump cards.

Of course, with Lin Xiao, the rich tycoon, around, he naturally wouldn't let his Believers encounter any accidents. Once the situation went wrong, he would immediately summon the star destroyer!

If even the star destroyer couldn't handle it, Meng Ning and the others in the viewing area would intervene directly! If even Meng Ning and the others couldn't handle it, then Xuan Liu and the others hiding in the dark would take over the battlefield!

It could be said that on this patch of land in Anping County, Lin Xiao was now invincible!

A week later, once he bought the True God Spirit Puppet, he would even have the ability to flip the table!

It was precisely because he had so many trump cards that he didn't care about the Principal's reminder.

What does a mere Demigod have to play with his Believers?
