127: Chapter 127 He's cheating!

Watching the foreign Believers leap down from the city wall only to be swiftly slaughtered, the Elders felt their hearts bleeding.

"Instead of using the city gates, they jumped off the city walls? Are these outlanders idiots?!"

"Damn it! Do these outlanders think they are playing house? Do they have any idea what we..."

"Cough, cough, cough... Principal, please don't laugh at us. We are only doing this for the school's reputation. The way these outlanders are throwing the match is simply..."

Principal Li Qingyun merely smiled casually at their words. He did not offer any response, his eyes fixed intently on the screen.

[Second-order Believers slaying Spirit Rank foes. To think Young Friend Lin actually shows the shadow of a Prodigy... It seems the Lin Family really does harbor high expectations for him.]

Outside the school, the crowd of parents watching the screen was also filled with shock.

"Weren't we told that the ones sent for the assessment were the core Believers of demigods? How could Qi Refining Realm Believers be so weak?"

"These outlanders are truly stupid. Can't they see Lord Lin's ten thousand Believers outside the city? How dare a few hundred of them jump down without even forming a Formation? What on earth were they thinking?"

"Could these outlanders be throwing the match on purpose?"

Naturally, Lin Xiao and the outlander Believers inside the Divine Realm could not hear the discussions from the outside world. Seeing their kinsmen slaughtered cleanly in just a brief moment,

the outlanders on the city wall who had not yet jumped immediately stopped this suicidal behavior.

"Damn it, the Human Race is indeed a bunch of insidious and cunning people!"

"Things have come to this, it is time to show our blood and courage to the Lord God! For the Lord God!"

"For the Lord God! Kill all of the Human Race!"

The Believers of the three races roared loudly while quickly organizing themselves into Formations inside the city gates below.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, the giant city gate, over ten meters high, slowly opened. Thirty thousand Qi Refining Realm Believers marched out of the city with firm steps.

Looking at the three square Formations of ten thousand men each, Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"It seems those Family clans really put in a lot of effort to deal with me. To raise so many core Believers at once, who knows how many resources they spent..."

Promoting to a demigod requires a thousand Qi Refining Realm Believers. Since these outlanders are Slave Gods, Lin Xiao did not believe those families would be willing to spend more resources to support over ten thousand outlander Qi Refining Believers.

The only explanation was that the extra nine thousand Believers of each race were highly likely raised rapidly in recent times specifically to deal with him.

Looking at the three neat Formations of ten thousand in the distance, the ten captains of a thousand pointed their longswords directly ahead, barking out a brief command: "Puppets, release!"

Following the captains' command, the Believers moved in perfect unison, pulling out exquisite little wooden Puppets from the pouches at their waists.

They threw them onto the empty ground in front of the Formation. This scene looked just like the immortal technique: "Sowing Beans to Reap Soldiers."

A massive number of low-grade magical puppets expanded to their full size in mid-air. After landing on the ground, they quickly assembled with their companions.

In just a brief moment, a massive Formation of ten thousand, entirely composed of low-grade magical puppets, took shape.

"Damn it! He is cheating!"

"The assessment is meant to test the comprehensive strength of the Believers. What is the meaning of him throwing out ten thousand Puppets?!"

"Principal, are you just going to stand by and watch? Winning with such methods would be an unfair victory!"

Hearing the exasperated protests of the Elders around him, Principal Li Qingyun merely glanced at them from the corner of his eye, his tone completely calm.

"Puppets are also a part of one's own strength. Could it be that if we encounter outlanders on the battlefield in the future, we should bind our own hands and feet before fighting them?"

Saying these words, Principal Li Qingyun felt a sudden sense of relief. At the same time, he felt deep contempt for the behavior of these Elders and enshrined worshipers.

[You reinforced the city walls, purchased Medium Grade magical weapons and equipment for those outlanders, and even shamelessly expanded their numbers to ten thousand, claiming that the standards on the battlefield would not be lowered just because of the young friend's strength.]

[Yet now, seeing the young friend throw out ten thousand low-grade magical puppets, you immediately claim he is cheating? Before you say such things, why don't you think about how the children of your own families killed those wolf demons?]

Principal Li Qingyun held nothing but utter contempt for the double standards of these Elders and worshipers. They were truly terrible at the game yet addicted to playing; if they couldn't afford to lose, they shouldn't have played in the first place!

The Principal's blunt retort instantly left the Elders and worshipers speechless.

"Ten thousand Puppets can at most hold back one outlander army. There are still twenty thousand left!"

"Exactly! Those outlanders were careless before, which is why they were caught off guard. Now, their numbers are twice the opponent's, and in a head-on clash, I refuse to believe..."

"Cough, cough, cough. My old friends, please mind your status. I believe Young Friend Lin must have anticipated the current situation. We should just wait and see."

"Yes, yes, yes. In my haste, I tend to misspeak. Actually, my original intention was to express confidence in Young Friend Lin. With a mere twenty thousand outlanders, he will surely triumph!"

At this moment, the parents outside the school were truly having their eyes opened today.

"My goodness! It's those Puppets again. Previously, those Family disciples relied on two thousand Puppets to completely wipe out those Qi Refining Realm wolf demons. Now, there are a full ten thousand!"

"Although I support Lord Lin, isn't his move a bit unfair? I mean, the original intention of the assessment is to test the comprehensive strength of the Believers."

"Now that ten thousand Puppets have been thrown out, how does this even count as the Believers' strength? In the future, everyone might as well not take the exam at all. Just bring out all your Family assets and compare them. Whoever has more faith points wins."

"Don't be sour just because you can't have it. In the end, isn't the assessment just a competition of faith points? For powerful clans like the Chen Family and the Hu Family, their children use C-grade or even B-grade resources as soon as they awaken."

"The children of our ordinary Divine Being families can only use a small amount of F-grade resources. In the end, isn't it just because they have more faith points while we can't afford to cultivate our own?"

"Similarly, aren't those Puppets just a type of special equipment in the end? Why, just because Lord Lin has more divine power points, do you insist on forcing him to wear ordinary iron equipment for the assessment like you?"

"Since he has plenty of resources, he can naturally equip his Believers in all aspects. If you had high-grade resources on hand, would you still insist on making your child use low-grade ones?"

While the outside world was discussing, the two sides inside the Divine Realm had already begun a brutal slaughter! The army of ten thousand Puppets held back one outlander army of ten thousand.

The remaining twenty thousand outlanders charged toward the Human Race Believers with an indomitable Aura. Facing enemies twice their number, the second-order Believers showed no panic on their faces.

Instead, they looked incredibly eager. Wasn't decades of hard training all for this very moment?

The moment the enemy exited the city, the ten captains of a thousand moved. They shouted in unison.

"Vajra Talisman!"

As their voices fell, the ten thousand Believers neatly pulled out a golden Talisman from their waists in unison.

[Vajra Talisman (Quality: Qi Refining Realm)]

[Description: Upon use, significantly increases one's defensive capabilities for a short duration]

The moment the Vajra Talisman was applied, a faint golden light surfaced on the outer layer of their armor. Immediately after, the ten captains of a thousand shouted once more.

"Light Body Talisman!"
