After dealing with the hero lifeform Bone Manipulator, Han Wu waited for quite a while before the twelfth wave of invasion arrived.
Leading the charge was once again a hero lifeform Bone Manipulator, followed by ten Transcendent lifeform Skeleton Knights.
Han Wu sent in the Iron-Cleaving Sword Wind and twenty Exploding Pulp Locusts, easily resolving this wave of invasion.
But it wasn't so easy for the other students.
During the eleventh wave, they struggled to kill one Bone Manipulator and hadn't even cleared the scattered bones when another Bone Manipulator appeared in the twelfth wave, accompanied by ten Skeleton Knights.
These young geniuses were deeply troubled, likely complaining in their hearts: "Why are they coming again? Will it ever end?"
Unable to withstand the immense pressure from the Bone Manipulator, three more students cursed and withdrew from the assessment.
The top three emerged: Han Wu, Qin Shuang, and Huang Fei.
As for who came first, they had to wait a bit longer.
In the fourteenth wave, Huang Fei's Core Followers suffered heavy casualties, prompting him to withdraw and secure a respectable third place.
In the sixteenth wave, Qin Shuang's Core Followers, the Thunder Sparrows, were exhausted, her Level 1 Lightning Towers were mostly damaged, and six Ancient Tree Giants were killed in battle. Knowing she couldn't withstand the next wave, she voluntarily withdrew from the exam.
Han Wu automatically became the first on the leaderboard.
However, fully immersed in the assessment, he was unaware of the results and continued.
As the assessment reached the twentieth wave.
The first to appear from the portal was once again a hero lifeform Bone Manipulator.
But behind it followed a staggering 5000 Transcendent lifeform Skeleton Knights.
Yet in the face of the Exploding Pulp Locusts.
The sheer number was not an advantage but a disadvantage.
Explosions erupted, and the dense army of Skeleton Knights suffered massive impacts, not only from the explosions but also from the collateral damage of their flying comrades.
After several waves of bombardment, the 5000 Skeleton Knights were shattered, their combat power severely reduced.
The Bone Manipulator attempted to gather the fragments for a counterattack, but the moment it stepped out of the portal, it was targeted by the hero lifeform Iron-Cleaving Sword Wind.
With one Iron-Cleaving Style, the Bone Manipulator was sent to its demise.
The remaining Skeleton Knights were picked off one by one under the guerrilla tactics of the Iron-Cleaving Sword Wind and the Crimson Forge Dwarves.
As the twentieth wave was cleared, all the homeroom teachers focused on the only remaining screen.
An emotionless voice sounded again: "The twenty-first wave of invasion is about to begin, with a significant increase in difficulty. Students, please prepare mentally."
The notification was given. The portal expanded violently, growing four times its size before stopping.
A thick aura of death emanated from the portal, causing the surrounding temperature to drop noticeably.
A magnificent bone throne emerged from the portal.
On the bone throne sat a Skeleton Lord, its bones as white as jade, exuding an imposing aura.
Beside it, two Bone Manipulators stood respectfully, serving as attendants.
Below the bone throne were ten thousand Skeleton Knights.
As powerful as Transcendent lifeforms, their current duty was merely to carry the Skeleton Lord.
"It's a Skeleton Lord!" the watching homeroom teachers exclaimed.
It was only the twenty-first wave, and a lord lifeform appeared.
It's important to note that even the demigods present might not possess a lord lifeform of this level.
In the Divine Realm, upon seeing the Skeleton Lord, Han Wu knew his challenge had reached its limit.
A lord lifeform was not something he could contend with at his current level.
Even with the advantage of terrain and clever tactics, it was impossible.
He decisively chose to forfeit the assessment.
As Han Wu announced his withdrawal, a massive suction force emanated from the portal.
This force pulled the Skeleton Lord back.
Under the powerful suction, the Bone Manipulators and Skeleton Knights couldn't hold on for even a second and were sucked back to their original plane.
Only the Skeleton Lord resisted for five seconds.
During those five seconds, the Skeleton Lord did not attack but instead broke one of its ribs and threw it with all its might.
The rib transformed into a stream of light, flying to the other end of Han Wu's Divine Realm, beyond the range of the suction.
Once the rib landed successfully, the Skeleton Lord ceased its resistance and was transported back to its original plane along with its bone throne.
Han Wu watched with his heart pounding, fearing the Skeleton Lord might launch an attack.
With the power of a lord lifeform, it could easily annihilate any hero lifeform.
If the Iron-Cleaving Sword Wind were killed, Han Wu would suffer a significant loss.
Fortunately, it was all over.
Han Wu was transported back to the void.
He looked up to see a massive leaderboard rising from the golden light wheel.
All the students who participated in the ranking assessment were listed.
At the top of the leaderboard, in the first position, Han Wu's name shone brightly.
"I'm first?" Han Wu was both surprised and delighted.
Although he expected to achieve a good result, he didn't anticipate it would be this good.
Then another leaderboard emerged from the golden light wheel.
It listed the comprehensive scores of the twelve classes.
Han Wu only paid attention to two classes' scores.
One was Tian Wen's class, which scored 252 points, ranking first, surpassing the second place by 20 points, and becoming the top Honors Class.
The other was Liu Letian's class, which scored 192 points, ranking eighth.
Seeing the leaderboard, Liu Letian was so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
If Han Wu and the others hadn't switched classes and stayed in his class, the title of top Honors Class would have been his!
Liu Letian was filled with regret and resentment but was helpless.
Not only did he fail to gain the Honors Class title, but he also lost a bet of 5 points of Divinity, a double loss.
In contrast, Tian Wen was immersed in immense joy.
His class became the top Honors Class and gained 5 points of Divinity for free.
The word "joy" couldn't even begin to describe it.
After seeing the results, some students were forcibly expelled.
These were the students who failed to complete the elimination assessment, and they faced expulsion.

Losing their student status wouldn't harm their Divine Realm.
But without the school's resources, their path to becoming a god would be incredibly challenging.
The probability of successfully becoming a god would be extremely slim.
The remaining students experienced mixed emotions.
The 130 students who voluntarily gave up the ranking assessment were filled with regret.
Had they known the first few waves of the ranking assessment were so easy, they would never have given up.
But alas, there's no medicine for regret in the world.
They could only watch enviously as other students received rewards.
The award ceremony began.
First, the students who made it onto the leaderboard would randomly receive a basic Resource Card.
The golden light wheel spun, and the basic Resource Cards were distributed to each student on the leaderboard.
Han Wu looked at the unit of iron ore card he received and clicked his tongue.
This iron ore Resource Card was worth at most 2 Divine Power.
Indeed, the reward given to everyone wasn't worth much.
Next, the rewards for the top one hundred were distributed, worth 100 Divine Power in Divine Realm territory.
After careful consideration, Han Wu chose the highest-priced dense forest terrain, worth 5 Divinity per square kilometer, and received a total of 20 square kilometers.
The reason for choosing the dense forest terrain was that it could produce wood, aiding the Crimson Forge Dwarves in forging. Moreover, the tall vegetation with more leaves would provide more food for the locusts.
Overall, the dense forest terrain offered Han Wu the best value for his needs.
Next came the rewards for the top fifty.
A Level 1 sacred relic.
A list of Level 1 sacred relics stored by the school appeared before the top fifty students.
Han Wu looked at the long list, his eyes almost glazing over.
He realized how wealthy the school was, with tens of thousands of Level 1 sacred relics.
Just as Han Wu was unsure which Level 1 sacred relic to choose, his homeroom teacher Tian Wen sent him a message: "Han Wu, if I were you, I would choose the Level 1 sacred relic Toxic Mist Orb."
This was practically giving him the answer, and Han Wu understood immediately.
He promptly selected the Level 1 sacred relic: Toxic Mist Orb as his reward.
For the top thirty, a Proliferation Card.
For the top twenty, a Level 1 Divine Temple.
Finally, the high-value stage arrived, the top ten rewards.
A Divine Power weapon, valued at under 100,000 Divine Power.
Han Wu considered the situation in his Divine Realm.
The Iron-Cleaving Sword Wind had four Storm Greatswords, so there was no need to change weapons.
Even if he were to change weapons, he would need to replace all four. Replacing just one wouldn't be worthwhile.
The Core Followers, the locusts, didn't require weapons, so they were not a consideration.
Excluding these two, the Divine Power weapon would go to the Crimson Forge Dwarves.
Considering the attributes and characteristics of the Crimson Forge Dwarves, Han Wu input conditions for fire attributes and hammer-type weapons.
The search interface quickly displayed suitable options.
Han Wu's gaze fell on the highest-valued Divine Power warhammer.
Warhammer: Inferno, valued at 99,999 Divine Power. Crafted from the core of the lord lifeform Inferno Hydra, it contained immense fire energy. Minimum requirement for use: fire-type hero lifeform.
Looking at the information on the Inferno Warhammer, Han Wu fell into deep thought.
This warhammer perfectly met all his conditions, but the final usage requirement was a headache.
A fire-type hero lifeform, which he didn't have!
But if he lowered his standards to find a Divine Power weapon usable by the elite lifeform Crimson Forge Dwarves, Han Wu would be unwilling.
Only a fool would pass up the chance to take advantage of the school's resources!
After much deliberation, Han Wu decided to acquire the Inferno Warhammer.
He couldn't use it now, but he could store it in the warehouse.
When the Crimson Forge Dwarves eventually produced a hero, they could use it directly.
The top five rewards, a Transcendent Seed.
The top three rewards, Divine Core level +1.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of many students.
Director Xu Mei personally handed a card containing one point of Divinity to Han Wu.
At that moment, even Qin Shuang, who had a wealthy family, was drawn to the Divinity card.
Although her family was rich, no Divine Creature would ever think they had too much Divinity.
Han Wu stored the Divinity card in his Divine Realm.
The Unified Exam award ceremony officially concluded.
