6: Chapter 6 Simulated Battle Assessment

The next day.

Early in the morning, Yang Bai arrived at his classroom from the school dormitory. After greeting a few classmates, he sat in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Today was the first class of the second semester of their senior year, but Class 9 was missing a small portion of its students. These missing students were all those who had failed to awaken their God Domains a month ago.

Those who failed to awaken their God Domains were ordinary people, and ordinary people would be expelled from No. 4 Middle School.

If Yang Bai hadn't recruited any followers yesterday, his fate might have been even more miserable than those expelled ordinary people. This was because he had awakened a God Domain, and his mental sea contained divine source matter exclusive to deities.

To a Divine Lord, divine source matter was the substance that allowed them to become stronger.

Without followers, one had no ability to protect their God Domain or the divine source matter. Such unprotected 'fatty meat' was truly mouth-watering to others.

"Ring!!!"

The school bell rang, and the chatting students returned to their seats. Before long, a familiar obese figure walked into the classroom.

Wu Youfang placed his course materials on the desk and glanced at the students sitting below.

When he saw Yang Bai, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Wu Youfang's eyes, but it quickly transformed into a kind gaze.

"Class, I am very happy to be the homeroom teacher of Class 9 once again."

"Those of you sitting here are basically all New Gods who have successfully awakened your God Domains and successfully recruited followers. If anyone is not a New God, please leave the classroom immediately and go to the grade office to apply for withdrawal."

"Our No. 4 Middle School has no need for trash who can't even awaken as a deity."

Wu Youfang changed his tone and looked at Yang Bai, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Don't you agree, Class Monitor Yang Bai?"

Yang Bai said with a faint smile, "Director Wu, I find it necessary to remind you that I have recruited followers."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Wu Youfang's face froze. He looked at Yang Bai in disbelief and said word by word, "What did you say? You recruited followers? How is that possible..."

"Why is it impossible, Director Wu? Why would you say that? Could it be that you investigated me beforehand to see if I became a New God?"

"If I hadn't become a New God, would it have made it easier for you to embezzle my special funding from Jinghai University?"

A trace of coldness appeared in Yang Bai's eyes.

He had asked the other class monitors in their group chat last night about what cards they had received.

Although funding varied by university, special funding generally included five cards. Aside from two high-level resource cards, there were three random God Domain Enhancement Cards.

Building Cards, Divine Art Cards, and Follower Cards were collectively known as God Domain Enhancement Cards.

Yet, Fatty Wu had only given him one random Building Card.

"Hahaha, it's good that you awakened. I saw that you hadn't filled out the Deity Information Form, so I thought you had failed to recruit followers."

Wu Youfang took out a form from his materials and placed it in front of Yang Bai, poking the 'Follower Race' column with his chubby finger.

"Fill it out now. The school needs to compile information on all deities to facilitate later teaching."

Yang Bai took the form and wrote the words [Human Race] in the 'Follower Race' column.

Seeing that Yang Bai had actually recruited the [Human Race], Wu Youfang almost burst out laughing. The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down at this moment.

After collecting Yang Bai's Deity Information Form, Wu Youfang walked back to the podium, his expression turning serious.

"Class, please get ready. We will soon head to the school's computer lab to use the combat simulation cabins to simulate God Domain warfare."

"I will report your combat performance to the school to secure more resources for you."

"Please perform well and show your full strength. Next, I will announce the match-up groups."

"Group one: Yang Bai versus Liu Tong."

"Group two: Xu Chenxin versus Tong Jiali."

"Group three: Chen Hao versus Xu Haitao."

...

Hearing this grouping, Yang Bai instinctively looked at Liu Tong in the second row. The latter smiled and gave him a greeting.

For some reason, Yang Bai saw a hint of coldness on his face.

"Liu Tong, don't go causing trouble for yourself by sending gifts," Yang Bai muttered under his breath.

Everyone left the classroom and arrived at the school's computer lab, which was filled with rows of simulated combat cabins.

simulated combat cabins could transmit God Domain information to a simulated world platform for virtual data-based combat, replacing actual God Domain battles.

In a simulated war, the consumption of all units, buildings, and divine source matter was virtual and would not affect the Divine Lord in reality.

No. 4 Middle School had four combat computer labs. To save resources, three classes usually shared one lab. Lab No. 1 was reserved for Class 1 and the school teachers.

At this moment, in Lab No. 3, students from Class 7 and Class 10 had already entered the combat cabins under the direction of their respective homeroom teachers.

Wu Youfang greeted the homeroom teachers of the other two classes and then began assigning simulated combat cabins.

"Yang Bai, Liu Tong, you two use this one."

Wu Youfang patted Yang Bai's shoulder and pointed to a combat cabin.

Before Yang Bai could speak, Liu Tong had already climbed inside.

The actions of these two were no longer a hidden plot, but a blatant scheme.

However, Yang Bai wasn't afraid at all.

"Fine, I'll follow Director Wu's arrangement."

Yang Bai let out a cold laugh and lay directly into the simulated combat cabin.

Seeing that Yang Bai had taken the bait, Wu Youfang chuckled and took out the control panel for the simulated combat cabin.

[Connecting to God Domain...]

[Combatants: Yang Bai, Liu Tong.]

[Activating Simulated Combat Mode.]

[Entering information, estimated upload time: five minutes.]

[Divine Lords, please prepare for battle.]

Yang Bai stood high above the virtual God Domain, looking toward Liu Tong's God Domain opposite him. The two domains were connected, separated by a layer of Spatial Membrane.

Through the Spatial Membrane, Yang Bai could vaguely see a massive monster figure. That was the manifestation of a Divine Lord's spirit, also known as the True God Body.

Yang Bai's god name was Ancient Immortal Venerable, and his True God Body took the form of the Immortal Monarch within his God Domain.

However, to Yang Bai's surprise, 500 three-meter-tall Troll Race followers were standing in Liu Tong's God Domain.

Three hundred Troll Warriors holding war clubs and drooling roared toward Yang Bai's side, while in the rear, 200 grey-skinned, tusked Troll Throwers held bone spears, ready to strike.

"Five hundred Troll Warriors... just how much money did Liu Tong throw into this?"

Seeing Liu Tong's Troll followers, even Yang Bai couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

One must know that when a Divine Lord recruits followers, they can usually only recruit one type; other varieties must be recruited using special cards.

Furthermore, a newborn deity can typically only recruit 100 to 300 followers. The stronger the followers' individual strength, the fewer could be recruited.

But Liu Tong had not only recruited 500 Troll followers, but those 200 Troll Throwers were entirely a specialized long-range unit.

[Mode change.]

[Now activating Reality Combat, please prepare yourselves.]
