Chapter 16 – Suspect cheating

In the ordinary course of events, a hero lifeform wouldn't cause the homeroom teachers to lose their composure.

Countless facts have proven that even a hero lifeform as strong as the Storm Greatsword can't withstand the onslaught of a massive number of followers.

However, the hero lifeform that appeared in the ranking assessment was different.

Its overall strength was weak, even considered the lowest among hero lifeforms.

But if placed in a special situation, the power it could unleash would multiply hundreds of times, reaching the level of a higher-tier lord lifeform!

And that special situation involved bones.

The information on this hero lifeform is as follows:

Bone Manipulator

Race: Skeleton Race.

Level: Hero Lifeform.

Talent: Bone Manipulation, Bone Aggregation.

The moment the Bone Manipulator invaded the Divine Realm, the scattered bones on the ground seemed to be attracted, flying towards the Bone Manipulator.

Ten waves of skeleton soldiers, totaling over a million.

The resulting bone fragments were enough to form a mountain.

Under the control of the Bone Manipulator, countless bone fragments aggregated and transformed, condensing into a mountain-like bone giant within three seconds.

As soon as the bone giant took shape, it began to unleash astonishing destructive power.

A punch could shatter mountains, a stomp could crack the earth.

The followers who had the upper hand before were heavily struck.

In less than three minutes, eight students chose to withdraw from the assessment due to heavy losses among their followers.

The remaining ten students continued to resist tenaciously in various ways.

But one student's Divine Realm scene left the homeroom teachers at a loss for words.

That student was Han Wu.

In his Divine Realm, a Bone Manipulator hero lifeform had also intruded.

However, instead of wreaking havoc, the Bone Manipulator was chased around by a "man-made" volcano created by Han Wu, fleeing in disarray within the Divine Realm.

This was because there were very few bone fragments in Han Wu's Divine Realm.

Most of the bone fragments had been melted into ash by magma.

Without the support of bone fragments, the Bone Manipulator's combat power was pitiful, and it was chopped into eighteen pieces by the Iron-Cleaving Sword Wind.

Some key bones were even taken by the Crimson Forge Dwarf to be crafted into faith equipment.

As a result, Han Wu became the first among the remaining ten students to pass the eleventh wave of invasion.

"This is cheating, definitely cheating!" Liu Letian said enviously.

Han Wu's easy defeat of the Bone Manipulator hero lifeform made him extremely displeased.

Other homeroom teachers also harbored suspicions.

The process by which Han Wu dealt with the Bone Manipulator was too effortless.

It made people suspect that Han Wu had stolen the test questions in advance.

"I protest," Tian Wen naturally stood up for his student.

"Tian Wen, you're covering for your student. Be careful, or I'll report you to the education authorities!" Liu Letian threatened.

"You're openly defaming my student, accusing him of cheating. Do you have any evidence?" Tian Wen retorted, unwilling to back down.

Liu Letian snorted coldly, "Do I need evidence? Everyone here can see Han Wu's unusual actions against the skeleton soldiers."

"Who would actively clean the battlefield after defeating the skeleton soldiers unless they knew in advance that a Bone Manipulator capable of controlling bones would appear, and that clearing the bone fragments would effectively weaken the Bone Manipulator's strength?"

"I strongly suspect that Han Wu knew the test questions in advance. This is a serious act of cheating, and the school must investigate thoroughly."

Tian Wen was left speechless. Although he believed in Han Wu's character, he also felt that this matter was too coincidental.

"Ahem." At this moment, the director of education, Xu Mei, stepped forward, "Regarding Han Wu's results, let me speak a fair word."

"This time, the content of the Unified Exam was set by the principal just before departure. Even I didn't know the specifics before the exam started. If Han Wu knew the exam content beforehand, there's only one possibility: the principal leaked the questions to Han Wu."

"Mr. Liu, do you think the principal would do something so foolish?"

The final question left Liu Letian sweating.

If he continued to insist that Han Wu had stolen the questions, it would imply he suspected the principal of helping Han Wu cheat.

The majesty of a true god cannot be questioned.

Liu Letian couldn't afford the risk of doubting the principal, so he could only change his tune, "Perhaps I was mistaken. Han Wu relied on his luck to defeat the Bone Manipulator."

Even so, Liu Letian was unwilling to see Han Wu achieve good results.

He continued, "Even if Han Wu didn't cheat, his results are still inflated, which is very unfair to the other students."

The other homeroom teachers looked at Xu Mei.

Han Wu's sudden rise made them realize the crisis.

Only by suppressing Han Wu could their students have a chance to stand out and receive richer rewards.

Hearing Liu Letian's words, a hint of mockery appeared on Xu Mei's cold and beautiful face.

"Mr. Liu, as a demigod, do you know how ridiculous your words are? In the cultivation of Divine Realm civilization seeds, it's never about fairness, but survival of the fittest. No matter how Han Wu achieved his good results, as long as he didn't cheat, those results belong to him."

"As for the fairness you mentioned, do you think it's fair to other students that you secretly tilted resources towards your nephew Liu Mo through your position? Is it fair to other students that Qin Shuang's family sponsored tens of millions of Divine Power?"

Liu Letian was rendered speechless. He never expected that the information he had hidden so secretly was already known to Xu Mei.

"Damn it, so Liu Mo is your nephew. No wonder you bet on him against me!" Tian Wen finally realized that Liu Letian had planned to trap him.

But on second thought, Han Wu's sudden rise and easy resolution of the Bone Manipulator hero lifeform made him happy.

"There's a saying about lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot. My student Han Wu has already passed the eleventh wave of assessment. Your nephew Liu Mo will find it unexpectedly difficult to pass the eleventh wave."

Liu Letian hurriedly looked at Liu Mo's interface.

He saw the bone giant controlled by the Bone Manipulator wreaking havoc in Liu Mo's Divine Realm, destroying numerous buildings and annihilating countless elite lifeform Big Goblins.

Liu Mo, unable to withstand several attacks from the bone giant, had to declare defeat.

His results were capped at seventh in the grade, which was quite good.

But it was far behind Han Wu.

"The result of the bet is out. My student Han Wu passed the eleventh wave of assessment, while your nephew Liu Mo failed to pass the eleventh wave. Mr. Liu, all the teachers present are witnesses. You won't renege on the 5 points of Divinity bet, will you?" Tian Wen was now in high spirits.

Liu Letian really wanted to leave.

But he couldn't afford to lose face.

Reluctantly, he gritted his teeth and extracted 5 points of Divinity from the Divine Realm, condensed it into a card, and handed it to Tian Wen.

Not forgetting to warn, "Mr. Tian, please take good care of these 5 points of Divinity. One day, I'll take them all back."

Tian Wen unceremoniously accepted the 5 points of Divinity card and replied, "Thank you for the Divinity. I won't let that day come."

The ranking assessment continued.
