29: Chapter 29 Ten Days, First-Order Believer

Hearing the deliberately loud laughter of several classmates, Wang Tao's expression turned cold in an instant.

"It seems you all have a lot of confidence in your Believers, huh? Just as well, let me properly witness it during the assessment."

"Oh my, classmate Wang Tao seems to be angry. Why can't you take a joke? We're all classmates, after all. We're just concerned about you."

Regarding this kind of boring bickering and showing off, Lin Xiao merely glanced at it and didn't pay any further attention.

After class, the three of them appeared in a private room at Manyue Restaurant. Wang Tao and Su Xue began to report the day's results to Lin Xiao.

"According to the plan you provided, my Lord, the one thousand Believers I selected have not yet broken through to Tier 1 in strength.

However, they can already kill two Tier 1 beasts head-on without taking any damage. At this rate, I estimate they should reach their limit and officially enter Tier 1 in another three to five days."

Su Xue, standing to the side, was equally unwilling to be outdone.

"My situation is the same, and one hundred of my Believers have already successfully trained three types of formations to the introductory level.

By coordinating with each other, they can slay two hundred Tier 1 beasts, and they can fight five consecutive battles without the slightest damage."

Listening to the reports from his two subordinates, Lin Xiao secretly clicked his tongue. He used and ate the same things as the two of them, but in terms of results, his were not as good as theirs.

While satisfied, he still felt it necessary to give a reminder.

"I am very pleased that your Believers are progressing so quickly. But regarding the matter of strength improvement, you shouldn't push your Believers too hard.

With 60,000 bottles of medicinal pills every day, given enough time, everything will naturally fall into place."

"Your subordinates will keep your teachings in mind, my Lord."

Although they agreed verbally, it was impossible for Wang Tao and Su Xue not to urge their Believers. That was 6 billion worth of medicinal pills every day.

With so many faith points being poured in, how could they not urge them? In just one day, they had already replaced quite a few Believers.

Those who didn't train hard, those without talent, and those with slow progress were all weeded out by them.

It was only at this moment that they understood why families and schools alike all preferred those with good talent.

Once so many resources were poured in, the difference in talent was truly visible to the naked eye. Since the same resources were being spent, they naturally favored Believers with better talent and more obvious results.

The E-grade ingredients that once felt incredibly delicious now made Lin Xiao frown as he ate them. After casually taking a few bites, he transferred today's 6 billion worth of medicinal pills to his two subordinates.

He found the previous merchant and transferred 1.9 million divine power points. He immediately received a set of five-element refining hall, plus an A-grade spiritual vein.

After loading it, he moved the [spirit gathering martial arts hall] onto the spiritual vein. In just a moment, the Believers training inside were as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Their cultivation progress soared upwards. Lin Xiao hadn't expected the effect to be this good, so he quickly pre-ordered four more spiritual veins from the seller.

He planned to give one to each of his two subordinates tomorrow. He intended to let the other two be used by the other Believers in his own Divine Kingdom.

The next day, the two subordinates received the spiritual veins, and their urging of the Believers became even more stringent.

On the third day, he bought another set of refining hall and a spiritual vein.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the assessment arrived.

At this moment, in Lin Xiao's Divine Kingdom, a full 25 spiritual veins covered a quarter of the entire Divine Kingdom's territory.

Nourished by the dense spiritual energy, even those Believers who hadn't eaten medicinal pills now possessed incredibly robust physiques.

They could even tear apart tigers and wolves with their bare hands.

And after more than ten days, the subjects in his Divine Kingdom finally trained to their limit and officially broke through to Tier 1.

In terms of speed, he was a full two days behind his two subordinates. He tested the Believers who had reached Tier 1 slightly.

Tier 2 beasts could almost be killed instantly at their hands. One Believer could kill five Tier 2 beasts without taking any damage.

This scene made Lin Xiao unable to resist testing them against a Tier 3 one. The result was somewhat tragic; if he hadn't acted quickly, that Believer might have been severely injured.

However, the Tier 3 beast didn't have an easy time either, having had one of its legs broken by the Tier 1 Believer. Overall: in a fight to the death, they could inflict significant injuries on a Tier 3.

He was already very satisfied with this result, after all, they had only just broken through to Tier 1.

Inside the virtual world and the classroom.

Teacher Tong Qian's gaze swept over the students below, pausing on Lin Xiao and the other two for less than a second.

"Today is the last day of this month, as I have already told everyone. Today, we will conduct a class assessment.

The main purpose is to see the results of you students during this period."

As her voice fell, the original classroom turned into an endless grassland.

"Next, the students whose names I call will summon the one hundred Believers you consider the strongest. I will grade you based on the strength of your Believers."

Hearing this, the students couldn't help but stir in a commotion. Someone immediately raised their hand high, and after receiving the teacher's permission, immediately became anxious.

"Teacher, wouldn't it be too one-sided to only look at the Believers? In just one month, our personal development focuses are different.

Take me, for example; I put most of my energy into Divine Kingdom construction and resource allocation. If you only look at the Believers, wouldn't that be unfair?"

Watching many students show expressions of agreement on their faces, Teacher Tong Qian chuckled slightly. This smile carried a deep disdain.

"You are all not children anymore, so there is no need for me to coddle you. You just said this is unfair?

What I want to tell you is: this world is inherently unfair! Powerful families like the Chen family can have their offspring receive investments of hundreds, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions after awakening.

What about you? Others awaken with A-grade talent, what about you? Others start walking the War Path after awakening, what about you?

Whether it is a Divine Being, a demigod, or even a god, ultimately, it comes down to the strength of your Believers.

Others won't refrain from attacking you just because your Divine Kingdom is well-developed. On the contrary, the better your Divine Kingdom is developed, the more of a target you are in the eyes of others.

Do not say such childish things in the future. If any of you still feel it is unfair, leave now. You won't need to participate in this assessment."

The students were deathly silent; no one had any further objections.

Seeing this scene, Teacher Tong Qian began to call names one by one.

"Two Tier 1 Believers, 98 mortal Believers. Comprehensive score: 2.98 points. Next."

"10 Tier 1 Believers, 90 mortal Believers. Comprehensive score: 11 points. Very good, work hard for the next month. There is still hope for the top ten classes when assigning classes."

One student after another came forward to demonstrate, with the best performer having 23 Tier 1 Believers, while the others were all mortal Believers.

And the worst performer had only barbarian Believers, with not a single sign of evolution. Normally, the Ministry of Education would award at least ten thousand faith points as a reward.

As long as it is spent within the Divine Kingdom, such situations basically wouldn't happen. Regarding this situation, Teacher Tong Qian didn't say much.

After becoming a Divine Being, one must be responsible for oneself. How one wants to develop is one's own business; even if she is the teacher, she won't say a word more.

Although the Ministry of Education has stipulated that these are special funds, there are policies from above, but there are countermeasures from below.

As long as one can endure not spending it until university graduation, this so-called special fund will become free capital.

If one can endure for five years, the Ministry of Education will directly default to giving you these faith points.

"Next: Wang Tao."

With Teacher Tong Qian's words, the classmates who previously had expressions of dejection, excitement, and so on, all shifted their gazes over.

Some classmates who were previously dejected even began to show expressions of schadenfreude on their faces.
