Zhang Bin was taken aback.
In the past, no matter how he bullied Han Wu, Han Wu would remain silent. Why was he so defiant today?
Could it be that he had something to rely on?
He turned to look at Qin Shuang. He had heard that Qin Shuang once approached Han Wu, asking him to become her servant.
But seeing that Qin Shuang wasn't paying any attention to this side, Zhang Bin felt relieved.
He thought: Han Wu has no power or influence, and his core followers in the Divine Realm are just locusts. Would Qin Shuang really be so blind as to support Han Wu?
Having figured this out, Zhang Bin felt a surge of anger.
How dare a worthless person talk to him like this? It was simply courting death.
"I think you have a death wish. Do you believe I can lead my dwarf army to invade your Divine Realm and shatter your Divine Core?" Zhang Bin threatened.
"Hmph, then bring it on," Han Wu responded defiantly.
This answer left Zhang Bin puzzled.
Why had Han Wu changed so much today?
The surrounding classmates began to egg them on: "Fight, fight! We've never seen what it looks like when a core is shattered."
"The locust followers are dragging down our class's average power level. Quickly deal with him and make him drop out."
"I heard Zhang Bin's dwarf army can rank in the top sixty in the school. I'd really like to see it."
...
Amidst the clamor, Zhang Bin also wanted to showcase the strength of his followers.
"Han Wu, since you're courting death, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Zhang Bin said, pulling a card from his pocket.
An Invasion Card, worth 10 points of Divine Power.
Once the target is locked, a spatial portal will be generated within the target's Divine Realm, enabling an invasion between realms.
"To deal with trash like you, using 10 points of Divine Power is already giving you face," Zhang Bin sneered, activating the Invasion Card.
The Invasion Card transformed into a beam of light, shining on Han Wu.
Immediately, Han Wu's consciousness was forcibly drawn into his own Divine Realm.
He could see a massive portal, a hundred meters wide and ten meters high, appearing in the desert area of his realm.
From the portal emerged a dwarf army.
This dwarf army numbered five thousand, consisting of both males and females, each equipped with iron armor or weapons.
Zhang Bin's divine avatar hovered above the dwarf army, shouting, "In the name of the Dwarf God, I command you, my dwarf army, to destroy those fragile locusts and shatter the core of this realm!"
The dwarf army, inspired by Zhang Bin, raised their arms and cheered, their morale reaching its peak.
Classmates used the divine login assistance devices on their desks to enter spectator mode.
"Zhang Bin's dwarf army has increased by at least a thousand dwarves. This strength could rank in the top fifty of the grade, right?"
"Top fifty? What nonsense. Didn't you see that each dwarf in the army is equipped with iron gear? This strength is at least in the top thirty of the grade!"
"Look, at the front of the dwarf army, there's an elite creature."
"An elite lifeform has already emerged. Han Wu is definitely done for this time."
The classmates' opinions were almost unanimously against Han Wu.
Han Wu's divine avatar hovered in the air.
A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
Below him, a massive swarm of locusts flew.
After four months of cultivation, the locusts had reproduced for two generations, their numbers once again exceeding a billion.
Among the billion locusts, over 998 million were ordinary locusts.
The elite lifeform, the self-detonating locust, numbered only over 200,000.
Witnessing the dwarf army charging forward, Han Wu also issued a command.
Self-detonating locusts, attack!
The crimson self-detonating locusts flew out from the swarm of ordinary locusts, gathering into a crimson cloud.
The students watching exclaimed in surprise.
"Look, what are those red flying insects?"
A student with investigative abilities obtained detailed information and exclaimed, "Self-detonating locusts! Elite lifeforms! Isn't Han Wu's core followers just ordinary locusts? How can there be elite lifeform self-detonating locusts, and in such large numbers?"
A student scoffed, "So what if they're elite lifeforms? Even as elite lifeforms, locusts can't match the combat power of ordinary dwarves. Trash is trash, no matter how much there is."
Amidst the students' discussions, the self-detonating locusts had already engaged with the dwarf army.
Before Zhang Bin could issue a command, he saw the self-detonating locusts raining down like a storm.
In an instant, explosions echoed continuously, and smoke billowed.
When the smoke cleared, the scene left the watching students stunned.
Half of the 5,000 dwarves were killed on the spot, and the surviving dwarves were all severely injured.
The leading elite lifeform dwarf still had some fight left in him.
But there were still 50,000 self-detonating locusts circling in the air, and a reserve of 998 million ordinary locusts.
The outcome of the battle was clear.
Zhang Bin hurriedly issued a divine decree, urging the surviving dwarves to quickly return to their realm.
But Han Wu wouldn't let Zhang Bin off so easily.
Relying on the locusts' natural ability to fly, Han Wu directly ordered the locusts in his realm to pass through the portal and invade Zhang Bin's realm in reverse.
The 998 million ordinary locusts surged through the portal like a black storm, destroying everything in sight within Zhang Bin's realm.
Zhang Bin watched in agony.
Although his realm was newly developed, he had already invested considerable resources.
As soon as the locusts entered, the environment of his realm suffered devastating damage.
Wherever the locusts went, not a blade of grass was left.
If locusts ate dirt, they would have scraped away three layers of soil.
Zhang Bin shouted at Han Wu, "Order your followers to get out of my realm!"
Han Wu completely ignored Zhang Bin's angry shouts and instead controlled the self-detonating locusts to finish off the dwarves who weren't completely dead.
As for the elite lifeform dwarf trying to escape, Han Wu focused on it, sending self-detonating locusts to explode one after another, leaving the elite lifeform dwarf covered in wounds and its vitality severely depleted.
Zhang Bin grew more anxious, "I surrender, withdraw your locusts from my realm and let my followers return!"
Han Wu responded with a cold laugh, "Weren't you planning to shatter my Divine Core? In that case, it's only fair that I shatter yours in return."
Zhang Bin shouted angrily, "How dare you! If you really do this, my parents will never let you go. My father is a demigod, and my mother is about to ascend to demigod status. You're no match for them..."
Han Wu's cold smile deepened, "As if letting you go would make them spare me."
The next second, Han Wu's eyes lit up.
The ordinary locusts invading Zhang Bin's realm had already found his Divine Core.
"At all costs, shatter his core for me!" Han Wu issued a divine decree to his locust followers.
Locusts lacked intelligence; they only followed the commands of their god.
Thus, a massive swarm of locusts fearlessly launched an assault on the Divine Core, willing to crash into it even if it meant their own destruction.
This action terrified Zhang Bin.
If the Divine Core shattered and the realm collapsed, he would never be able to ascend to demigod status, unable to cultivate followers, and would remain a mere divine creature for life, with no hope of rising.
"Stop, stop now. I surrender, I promise never to bully you again. Whatever conditions you have, just name them, and I'll meet them. Just stop!"
"I don't want anything from you, I just want you dead!" Han Wu said coldly.
The massive swarm of locusts continued their relentless assault, and a crack appeared on Zhang Bin's Divine Core.
"Mad dog, you're just a mad dog!" Zhang Bin cursed angrily.
Now, all he felt was regret.
He had a bright future ahead of him. If he had just steadily cultivated his dwarf followers, he was confident he could ascend to demigod status before the age of thirty.
But there was no medicine for regret, and Zhang Bin could only watch helplessly as his core was gradually destroyed, unable to reverse the situation.
At that moment, a demigod avatar appeared above the realm.
It was Liu Letian, the homeroom teacher of Han Wu's class.
Liu Letian's authoritative voice rang out, "Han Wu, stop. You've already won, there's no need to go to such extremes."
A glimmer of hope appeared on Zhang Bin's face.
As long as the Divine Core wasn't shattered, he could restore his realm, make a comeback, and seek revenge!
Han Wu, just you wait. I, Zhang Bin, swear I won't be a man until I avenge this. Zhang Bin silently vowed.
But when he looked at Han Wu, his locust followers were still attacking Zhang Bin's Divine Core.
"Han Wu, didn't you hear me?" Liu Letian's voice carried a hint of anger.
He disliked students who disobeyed his orders.
Han Wu finally responded, "Mr. Liu, let me ask you a question. Why are you here now?"
Homeroom teacher Liu Letian replied, "As the homeroom teacher, I can naturally sense everything happening in the class."
"Alright, then let me ask you again. When I was being beaten, extorted, and bullied by Zhang Bin, where were you? Why didn't you show up?" Han Wu questioned.
Faced with this question, Liu Letian's face darkened.
He was aware of Han Wu's bullying, but he didn't want to get involved.
Han Wu had no parents, no background, and helping him brought no benefits.
Meanwhile, Zhang Bin's father was a demigod, and his mother was about to ascend to demigod status. Liu Letian had no reason to offend a family soon to have two demigods for someone with no background.
"Stop first, and I'll explain everything to you," Liu Letian offered.
"Let me ask one last question. If today, the one whose Divine Core was being attacked was me, would you step in to stop it?" Han Wu asked coldly.
Liu Letian had no response.
"Alright, I already know the answer," Han Wu said coldly.
At that moment, the locusts delivered the final blow to shatter the core.
With a cracking sound, Zhang Bin's Divine Core shattered, and the realm collapsed, breaking into several pieces.
Han Wu quickly collected the fragments and coldly issued an eviction order.
"Mr. Liu, please leave my realm!"
