Chapter 42 - 42: The Clan Acquires a New Skill



Good grief, can a student even handle this task?

You’ve got to be kidding me!

Despite Lin Xiao’s homeroom teacher Wu Hai seeming quite approachable and always smiling, not exhibiting the authoritarian aura of a High-Level Demigod, that was partly due to the Main World’s suppression and partly his own restraint. But if he were to venture into an Extra-dimensional plane and unleash his Divine Power, merely standing there would be enough to cause disturbances in heaven and earth, bringing about changes in the celestial phenomena.

They expected these students, who were merely in their freshman year, to slaughter such beings? That was utterly ridiculous, it’s likely they wouldn’t even be able to get close.

Lin Xiao immediately passed on tasks with scores above 90, setting his sights on those below 90. He wasn’t looking to court death.

You should know that once they descended into the Outland, it would be the true arrival of both themselves and their Clans. A death there meant real death. Their teacher could protect them under normal circumstances, but if he were to provoke a Demigod, the teacher wouldn’t be able to save him from their swift retribution.

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xiao made up his mind about his selection.

First, it definitely had to be tasks scoring below ninety. Additionally, it would be best to pick locations near water to take advantage of his Clan’s strengths, such as rivers, lakes, or seaside areas, the sea was fine too.

He filtered out tasks below eighty points and then those located in the interior of the continent, leaving not that many options.

He browsed carefully, choosing and comparing back and forth, to see which suited him best.

Luckily, the Divine Artifact Platform was currently en route to the Outland, with more than a day’s travel time, providing them with ample time for selection and preparation.

After nearly an hour’s effort in choosing, eliminating tasks that conflicted with other students’ choices, he eventually picked out four that were quite suitable for himself and then accepted them all at once.

There were only three tasks that could grant rewards, but there was no limit on how many tasks one could do; it’s just that there were no rewards for those beyond the first three, although there were spoils of war.

Lin Xiao planned to claim them first and then decide on the three easiest ones later.

Easy is relative, of course; even tasks scoring eighty points were not that easy, such as the one that seemed simplest among the four—exterminating the Frogman Tribe.

“Task: Exterminate the Frogman Tribe.”

“Task Introduction: A vast Frog-man Tribe Group lives in the Black Water Swamp. Eliminate 80% of the Frog People and destroy five Frogman Tribal Stone Pillars.”

“Hint: Each of the Frogman Tribe’s numbers range between five and eight thousand, with a Basic Level Zero foundation, the highest level being Level 3.”

“Task Reward: 85 points, two rare-quality Five Star cards, three random-quality Five Star cards, various spoils of war.”

Apart from this, the other three tasks were to destroy a Fish people tribe of about twenty thousand, eradicate a Snake Tribe numbering around two thousand, and kill a formidable Sea Beast active around a certain coral reef area.

The difficulty of the four tasks was not much different, and the locations were all close to each other, all within a shallow sea area.

It’s worth mentioning that there was also a ninety-point task in that area, as well as two tasks scoring above ninety-five. He merely glanced at those and gave up, unable to do them.

He first claimed the tasks through the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Artifact Platform, fortunate that no other student had chosen the same tasks as him.

Think about it, it’s normal—out of the remaining five hundred or so students in the whole grade, there weren’t many who had the ability to handle tasks of this difficulty. Even fewer had Clans that were suitable for aquatic environments. There weren’t many suitable tasks in the plane, but there weren’t few either. Plus, he chose quickly and made a decision early, so not many other students had made their choices yet.

After selecting the tasks, the next step was to wait for the Divine Artifact Platform to reach the Extra-dimensional plane.

Unfortunately, their current strength was not enough to peer through the thick divine radiance of the artifact to see what was happening outside. They only knew that the Divine Artifact Platform was currently shuttling between the Subspace and the Crystal Wall amidst the Chaotic Void Sea.

With ample time at hand, Lin Xiao spoke with his homeroom teacher for a bit and decided to return momentarily to his own Divine Realm.

This Divine Artifact Platform had the capability to communicate with Divine Realms located in Subspace, allowing them to continue to communicate with their own Divine Realm even after entering the Outland. Once they entered the test plane, they would be able to summon their Clans from their Divine Realm.

Upon returning to the Divine Realm, the number of Clansmen had grown compared to before, and Lin Xiao looked over the Naga and Fish people living in his God Country with great delight.

There were nearly six hundred Naga now, among which one hundred and twenty-four were Fanatic Believers, all of whom had persisted until the end in the Endless Mode trials. By spending ten times the usual promotion cost of Faith value, he managed to upgrade them from Basic Level One Naga to Level 2 Naga warriors.

In the God Country, Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and two skill cards miraculously appeared and began spinning in his palm.

With a thought, his Divine Realm currently had two slots for card fusion, which he could conveniently use to integrate these two cards.

But before doing that, he hesitated, wondering if he could use the functionality of the Creation Rubik’s Cube to disassemble and enhance the cards, thus saving a card fusion slot?

He could break down the Following Stroke skill card into nutrients to upgrade Basic Footwork to LV2.

Alternatively, he could dissolve Basic Footwork into nutrients to strengthen Following Stroke. He wasn’t too clear about the specifics, as this skill was different, belonging to the un-upgradable category—no power level and no skill cooldown, and even the enhancement direction was unclear, which was actually a passive skill.

But after considering the tasks he would face soon, he decided both skills were critical, and lacking either could diminish his Clans’ combat effectiveness.

This final exam was critical for Lin Xiao. The reward cards were not the main point; what mattered was that this was the Outland, and every spoil of war obtained in the Outland could be directly incorporated into the Divine Realm.

For Lin Xiao, who wielded the Creation Rubik’s Cube, this place was Heaven.

Compared to a class-wide exam, the end-of-month mock test yielded pitiable rewards, while the Outland was teeming with creatures from extra-dimensional spaces.

Rewarded cards, various spoils of war—he could disassemble and fuse them as he wished, and the thought was exhilarating.

He could amass a wealth of resources through this final exam, break down the rewarded cards, fuse them, and enhance them into several ultra-rare cards, significantly boosting his power.

So, although two ordinary card slots were used for the fusion, considering the future gains, this cost was worth it.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the two cards soared into the air, shattered into light, and dispersed into the God Country.

“Preload!”

As soon as he spoke, nearly three thousand streaks of white light, invisible to mortals, fell from the sky, enveloping all Clansmen in the Divine Realm. “Preloading complete, please set activation conditions!”

Looking at the prompt on the Divine Realm interface, Lin Xiao said:

“True Believers, after one standard prayer!”
