The next day, Han Wu teleported directly to the school classroom.
The moment he appeared, he caught the attention of all his classmates.
"This guy still dares to come? Isn't he afraid that his Divine Realm will be flattened by the demigod's thousand-man army?"
"He thinks he's clever enough to accept a challenge against a demigod. He really doesn't know what's good for him."
"I'd like to see if he can remain so calm when his Divine Core is breached."
...
From the chatter around him, Han Wu understood that the news of his upcoming duel with the demigod Zhang Gang was already widely known.
But it didn't matter; sooner or later, everyone would find out anyway.
He waited calmly.
Qin Shuang walked over from her seat, "You borrowed my Divine Power to enhance yourself for the duel with the demigod? I advise you not to waste your effort. Even if the demigod only sends a thousand-man squad, you can't stand against it."
Han Wu replied indifferently, "I have no other choice."
Qin Shuang immediately patted her chest and assured, "You do! As long as you become my servant, I will contact my family to pressure Zhang Gang. His family only has one demigod, while mine has a true god and 23 demigods. He wouldn't dare defy us."
Han Wu couldn't understand why Qin Shuang was so persistent about making him her servant.
"I appreciate your kindness, but you should go back. I need to prepare to face the demigod's thousand-man army," Han Wu politely declined.
Qin Shuang snorted angrily and stormed back to her seat, grumbling to herself that Han Wu was just a fool.
In a corner unnoticed by the two, a jealous gaze fell on Han Wu: "Han Wu, why do you get special treatment from Qin Shuang? You worthless trash, you're dead today!"
Before long, under the guidance of the homeroom teacher Liu Letian, Zhang Gang and his wife entered the classroom.

"That's Han Wu," Liu Letian pointed out to Zhang Gang and his wife in a sycophantic manner.
"You little bastard, you destroyed my son's Divine Core. Watch me tear you apart!" Zhang Bin's mother, Du Rong, was so furious upon seeing Han Wu that she wanted to attack him directly.
Zhang Gang held back the enraged Du Rong and whispered, "Don't break the school's rules."
The implication was that the school's background was too formidable for them to provoke.
Only then did Du Rong restrain herself, but her gaze remained venomous as she stared at Han Wu.
"Han Wu, get over here immediately. Don't waste Mr. Zhang's time," Liu Letian urged like a lackey.
Even though he and Zhang Gang were both demigods, their strength was worlds apart.
Liu Letian was thinking of using this opportunity to cozy up to Zhang Gang and gain some benefits.
As for Han Wu's life or death, he couldn't care less.
"I want Director Xu Mei to witness this," Han Wu said calmly.
"Such a trivial matter, and you think it deserves Director Xu's presence? Having me as a witness is already giving you face. Start now, or don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Letian threatened.
"Who is Mr. Liu planning to be rude to?" At this moment, Xu Mei's voice came from outside the classroom.
Liu Letian hurriedly replied with respect, "Director Xu, this is just a small matter, not worth troubling you. I was just reprimanding my student."
Xu Mei sneered, "Mr. Liu, don't forget, you're a teacher at this school, not some demigod's dog, understand?"
Liu Letian couldn't miss the meaning behind Xu Mei's words and could only smile awkwardly.
Zhang Gang spoke at the right moment, "Since Director Xu is here, let's begin."
Xu Mei's gaze fell on Han Wu, "Han Wu, are you ready?"
Han Wu nodded.
"Alright, let's start," Xu Mei announced.
Zhang Gang took out an Invasion Card and activated it.
Han Wu was once again forcibly drawn into his own Divine Realm.
A portal appeared in his Divine Realm.
A thousand-man army emerged from the portal.
Many students and teachers entered spectator mode, and upon seeing the thousand-man army Zhang Gang unleashed, they gasped in amazement.
"So this is the power of Zhang Gang, the demigod?"
"An entire army of elite Wolf Riders, led by a captain who has mastered Transcendent Power!"
"Wolf Riders, a combination of green orcs and dire wolves, all equipped with full sets of fine armor. Han Wu is doomed!"
...
As the referee, Xu Mei frowned. She hadn't expected Zhang Gang, a dignified demigod, to exploit a loophole.
He claimed to send a thousand-man army, but the Wolf Riders could clearly be counted as two separate combat forces.
Zhang Gang's demigod avatar hovered above the Wolf Rider army, glaring at Han Wu, "You little bastard, you shattered my son's Divine Core yesterday. Today, I'll make you pay in blood."
With that, Zhang Gang issued a divine decree.
Wolf Riders, charge!
Han Wu's divine avatar hovered in the air, watching the Wolf Riders charge swiftly.
He waved his hand, and a total of 6.8 million locusts took flight, covering the sky like a red cloud.
Among them were 550,000 Bursting Pulp Locusts.
"Nearly 7 million elite locusts!" exclaimed a teacher in awe. "Weren't there only 20,000 left yesterday?"
"To breed 7 million elite locusts in a single day, that's truly terrifying reproductive power."
"Even if they're the weakest elite lifeform, sheer numbers make them a formidable force. It's a pity this student doesn't have enough time to grow; he can't withstand the Wolf Riders' charge."
Sure enough, the moment the Wolf Rider army clashed with the locust swarm, the battle turned one-sided.
Although there were many Self-Detonating Locusts, their explosive power was too weak.
The Wolf Riders, clad in full sets of fine armor, had incredible defense, and ordinary Self-Detonating Locusts couldn't penetrate their defenses.
In an instant, a million Self-Detonating Locusts sacrificed themselves in vain, inflicting only minor injuries on a few Wolf Riders.
The teachers watching were already mourning for Han Wu.
He was indeed talented, but he had encountered an insurmountable obstacle; otherwise, he would have made a name for himself at the school.
Just when everyone thought Han Wu was doomed, a sudden change occurred.
Hidden among the Self-Detonating Locusts, the Bursting Pulp Locusts began to trigger Magma Self-Detonation.
Not only were the explosions powerful, but they also spewed large amounts of magma, causing splash damage.
Even though the Wolf Riders were fully armored, there were still areas they couldn't cover.
The scorching magma landed on them, causing severe burns and scalds.
The large amounts of magma on the ground created a lava zone.
The injured Wolf Riders within the zone suffered continuous high-temperature damage, and attempts to escape were constantly thwarted by the Self-Detonating Locusts.
The thousand Wolf Riders suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Bursting Pulp Locusts.
The situation reversed in an instant, leaving the teachers and students watching in shock.
"What the hell is this! What kind of locust is that with such powerful explosions and magma splash? Is it a Transcendent lifeform?"
"Does anyone with detection abilities, student or teacher, have information on that locust? Share it."
"I've detected it. That locust is called a Bursting Pulp Locust, and it's an elite lifeform!"
Grade Director Xu Mei never expected Han Wu to have such a trump card hidden.
She laughed with delight and encouraged, "Well done, Han Wu."
Zhang Gang's demigod avatar, hovering above the Wolf Rider army, turned ashen-faced, "You think this is enough to wipe out my Wolf Riders? Dream on!"
He immediately ordered the Wolf Rider captain to use the Transcendent Power he possessed.
The Wolf Rider captain received the divine decree and howled fiercely.
The dire wolf beneath him howled in unison.
From both of them, a chilling aura spread outward.
The Wolf Rider captain unleashed his Transcendent Power: Freezing Aura!
The Freezing Aura had a diameter of two hundred meters, causing the temperature within to plummet.
The accumulated lava on the ground rapidly cooled, turning into black stone.
The continuous damage was interrupted, and some surviving Wolf Riders, bolstered by the Freezing Aura, regrouped and attacked again.
The situation reversed once more.
Those who doubted Han Wu began to cheer.
"A demigod is a demigod; how could he be defeated by such a little trick?"
"The Transcendent lifeform is truly powerful, able to unleash such a wide-ranging skill. It's simply awesome."
"Han Wu's locust swarm is down to less than 500,000, and the Bursting Pulp Locusts are depleted. He can't turn the tide now!"
Zhang Gang shared the same thought.
Regrouped, the surviving Wolf Riders numbered less than 200.
But Zhang Gang was confident that even with just these 200 Wolf Riders, they could find Han Wu's Divine Core and shatter it, avenging his son.
"You little bastard, I'll show you what despair is. Once your core shatters and your Divine Realm collapses, you'll be expelled from school, and your life will be at my mercy!" Zhang Gang seemed to foresee Han Wu's impending defeat.
Without the Bursting Pulp buffer, the remaining Wolf Riders charged forward, quickly reaching the center of the Divine Realm.
The core was within reach.
The Wolf Rider captain issued another charge order.
One more charge, and they could shatter the Divine Core.
Teachers and students who were sympathetic to Han Wu couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes.
And just then, an exclamation reached the ears of the spectators.
"Look, what's in front of Han Wu's Divine Core?"
