Option One: Locust Avatar.
Option Two: Crimson Forge Dwarf Avatar.
Option Three: Sword Wind Tribe Avatar.
Option Four: Skeleton Lord Avatar (Weakened) (Incomplete) (Sealed).
The avatars were options based on the statistics of all the races within Han Wu's Divine Realm.
Han Wu immediately ruled out the Locust Avatar.
A Locust Avatar that only self-destructs is a dead end.
The Crimson Forge Dwarf Avatar is much better than the Locust Avatar, but it pales in comparison to the Sword Wind Tribe Avatar.
Han Wu was torn between choosing the Sword Wind Tribe Avatar and the Skeleton Lord Avatar.
The Sword Wind Tribe Avatar is undoubtedly an elite lifeform with high combat capabilities, a terrifying existence capable of taking on thousands.
But Option Four, the Skeleton Lord Avatar, is a lord-level being!
Higher than elite level!
Moreover, as an undead, it can avoid the corruption of the Abyssal Plane's miasma.
Although it carries three negative statuses that severely affect its strength, its overall advantage is still higher than that of the Sword Wind Tribe.
After much consideration, Han Wu made his choice.
He chose the Skeleton Lord Avatar!
In the next moment, his form shrank to one meter, his flesh dissipated, leaving only jade-like bones.
Now, Han Wu looked just like a little skeleton.
Han Wu touched his bare skull, the soul fire quietly burning in his hollow eye sockets.
The miasma drifting in the air had no adverse effect on him; instead, it made him feel quite comfortable.
"The Abyss is truly a paradise for the undead and demons," Han Wu mused.
After selecting his avatar, Han Wu began summoning his followers.
The exam rules stipulated that students could only summon their followers once per day, with a limit of 100 followers per summon.
So, Han Wu summoned 100 Gluttonous Locusts, elite lifeforms, to test the waters.
Once the 100 Gluttonous Locusts were transported to the Abyssal Plane, they were immediately subjected to the miasma's corruption.
In less than an hour, 94 of the Gluttonous Locusts had perished, with 3 barely clinging to life, and the remaining 3 beginning to mutate into demonized locusts due to the miasma.
Han Wu had anticipated this outcome.
For living creatures, the miasma is akin to poison.
To avoid being corroded to death by the miasma, transforming into a demonized creature is the best option.
However, once demonized, creatures often lose their sanity and become uncontrollably violent.
But this doesn't apply to locusts.
Since locusts inherently lack intelligence, even after being demonized, they will still loyally follow Han Wu's divine commands.
Once the 3 locusts completed their mutation, Han Wu officially began his examination journey.
By observing the surrounding environment and cross-referencing the map included in the exam content, he roughly determined his current location.
Pulling up the task list, Han Wu quickly selected nearby tasks.
Task 49: Collect 100 Bone Demon Fruits... Reward: 20 Exam Points.
Task 280: Clear the Flesh and Blood Golem Nest... Reward: 60 Exam Points, a random level 1 sacred relic.
Task 423: Mine 100 pieces of Hellfire Ore... Reward: 50 Exam Points, a random piece of faith equipment.
Among the three tasks, collecting Bone Demon Fruits was the simplest, so Han Wu decided to start with the easy one.
Following the map's directions, Han Wu led the 3 demonized locusts to a pitch-black forest.
On the black trees, the fruits with black skins and skull patterns were the Bone Demon Fruits mentioned in the task.
As a small skeleton, Han Wu found it inconvenient to climb trees, so he had the 3 demonized locusts pick the fruits for him.
Compared to ordinary locusts, the demonized locusts had sharper mandibles.
They quickly bit off 100 Bone Demon Fruits.
Han Wu piled them together, sealed them into a card, and was about to submit the task.
Low growls came from underground.
Han Wu looked down to see corpses crawling out of the soil.
Some were severely decayed, leaving only bare bones. Others had remnants of rotten flesh, surrounded by a green stench.
Fortunately, Han Wu, in his Skeleton Lord Avatar state, had no nose, or he would have been overwhelmed by the stench.
These corpses lacked intelligence, driven only by a primal instinct to attack.
They slowly shuffled towards Han Wu.
Han Wu was eager to test the power of his avatar.
He raised his small bony claw, dashed forward, and pierced through a corpse's chest.
Being undead, even having its heart removed meant nothing to the corpse.
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].
It still had the strength to swing its arms at Han Wu, trying to retaliate.
Han Wu wouldn't let a mere corpse have its way, and with a swipe of his bony claw, he sent its head flying.
Without a head, the corpse finally fell.
Han Wu used the same method to easily dispatch the 20 corpses that emerged from the ground, finally gaining a moment of peace.
"Seriously, just 20 exam points and it's this troublesome. I wonder how difficult a task worth the maximum 100 points would be?" Han Wu collected the Bone Demon Fruits into a card, submitted the task, and after receiving the points, continued searching through the task list.
He eventually found a task worth 100 exam points.
Task 500: Eliminate the Dark Frogman Demigod... Reward: 100 Exam Points, 1 point of Divinity, 1000 Class Points.
"Eliminate a demigod? No way, that's too much. Better stick to tasks and accumulate points steadily," Han Wu admitted.
Even the weakest demigod possesses 5 points of Divinity and commands a following of at least ten thousand believers.
It's not something Han Wu, currently with only 3 demonized locusts, could handle.
Closing the task list, Han Wu saw the 3 demonized locusts gnawing on the corpses.
He felt a bit nauseated.
Even though he currently didn't have a stomach.
Looking back at the forest, there were still many Bone Demon Fruits on the black trees.
Han Wu had an idea.
He immediately ordered the demonized locusts to pick all the Bone Demon Fruits in the forest.
The three demonized locusts had to temporarily stop eating and diligently carry out Han Wu's orders.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and all the Bone Demon Fruits in the forest were gathered in Han Wu's possession.
He sealed every 100 Bone Demon Fruits into a card, ultimately collecting 40 cards.
From another perspective, this could be 800 exam points.
Task 49 is a repeatable task, and everyone can complete it once.
Though Han Wu couldn't submit it again.
Other classmates could.
Exchanging some resources for 20 exam points, Han Wu believed other classmates would be willing.
With this in mind, Han Wu opened the communication interface and entered the class group chat.
"Anyone want to buy 100 Bone Demon Fruits needed for Task 49? I'm open to bartering."
With that message, the entire group fell into a deathly silence.
It took a full 10 seconds before anyone responded, and they didn't wait for the homeroom teacher Tian Wen's warning.
Suddenly, the group exploded with activity.
"Can we do that? Isn't this cheating? This has to be cheating!"
"You don't get it, this is called resource integration. Han the Great, I want a set of Bone Demon Fruits, I'll offer 50 Divine Power."
"I want a set too, I'll offer 50 Divine Power."
"Only resources obtained in this plane can be used for trading. Violators will receive a warning, and three warnings will result in disqualification from the exam," homeroom teacher Tian Wen finally replied.
The group became even more lively, with many classmates trading with Han Wu, and Han Wu responding to each one.
"30 pieces of Dark Frogman skin for a set of Bone Demon Fruits, deal?" "Deal."
"100 zombie fangs for a set of Bone Demon Fruits." "Deal."
"20 Black Death Grass for a set of Bone Demon Fruits, please!" "No way!"
...
Watching the communication interface, Zhang Xiaolong, in his Demon Wyvern Avatar, sneered internally: "I was wondering how to find you, and you dared to reveal your location. Let's see how you escape this time!"
With that, Zhang Xiaolong charged in Han Wu's direction.
Behind Zhang Xiaolong, 100 Hellhounds followed closely.
