Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

"What? First High?" Seeing the draw results on the big screen, Huang Yulang's face darkened, and the other students' expressions changed dramatically.

Starting with First High was absolutely the worst outcome.

Not only because of First High's strong power, but also because the blow to morale after losing would be severe.

Everyone knew they couldn't beat First High, so naturally, they hoped to meet them later, preferably after winning a few matches first.

"This is tough," Wang Xiaoling's face turned sour.

"Being crushed by First High in the opening ceremony, sure we'll be famous, but not in the way I wanted!"

After the entrance ceremony and the draw to determine opponents, with so many people coming, they naturally wouldn't just leave. So every year's traditional event was First High's appearance, fighting one match today, with other matches starting the next day.

"Sixth High, who's going first?" A third-year student from First High was already on the stage, checking the equipment.

In the points match, grades fought against grades, but if one was strong enough, they could keep going without stepping down. This gave an even more obvious advantage to schools like First High.

If it was one-on-one, using some tactics, the strong against the weak, they could win some matches. But now they had to fight until the last person to win one point. After all nineteen schools finished competing, the one with the highest points would be ranked first.

Huang Yulang looked at the twenty third-year students, preparing to arrange one to fight.

Against First High, it seemed the same no matter who went up, but they still couldn't lose too badly!

"Teacher, let me go!" Li Dong stood up.

"You..." Huang Yulang hesitated.

Li Dong was the top student in the third year. If he lost, how would they fight later?

But facing First High, it seemed only at the beginning, while their Fang Shuo hadn't come down, could they win a few matches beautifully. This way, even if they lost later, it would look better.

Losing to First High wasn't shameful, but they couldn't lose too badly.

"Alright then!" Looking at the third-year students, each lowering their heads, Huang Yulang could only nod. At this moment, he had no choice.

Li Dong stood up from his seat silently and walked to the stage.

"Oh, it's you!" As they passed each other, the young man sneered at Li Dong.

"That long-term meal ticket dumped by Zhang Na."

Li Dong showed no reaction to the mockery on the surface, but his unconsciously clenched fists showed his heart wasn't so calm.

Under the guidance of First High's teacher, the two lay down in the game cabins.

Their figures appeared on the projection.

"Ah, you pitiful thing, I'll let you choose. Consider it my favor to you!" The young man from First High spoke arrogantly.

In battle, one could choose unit battle, avatar battle, or main body battle.

Unit battle was self-explanatory. Avatar battle meant possessing a chosen unit to fight. Since it wasn't real combat, the possessed subject wouldn't actually die.

Main body battle meant the God's main body personally entering the battle.

Li Dong coldly chose main body battle.

His strength hadn't improved very much over these years, because most of his resources had been used to support Zhang Na. Compared to people from First High, his units were definitely at a disadvantage.

Avatar battle was about the same situation. The quality of his believers naturally couldn't compare to these people. The only thing he could rely on was his own strength.

"Heh, this is your own choice," The young man, seeing Li Dong choose main body battle, confidently agreed.

He thought this cuckold was seeking death, daring to compare himself to him as an ordinary person.

If he had honestly used his resources on himself, his strength could have been even stronger, but now...

The audience was very attentive to the first battle of the city-wide league.

Especially since few people chose the main body battle method.

Most people still relied on unit battles.

In the novice stage, many people didn't consider their own strength much, only starting to make up for this deficiency after reaching the Continent of the Gods.

"Nana, is that guy your ex-boyfriend?" In First High's rest area, a girl asked Zhang Na.

"What ex-boyfriend, he's just a toad," Zhang Na spoke haughtily.

"I just made things clear with him earlier, telling him not to keep bothering me."

"Yes, yes, our Nana is heaven's favored daughter. Someone from Sixth High should look at themselves, how could they be worthy of Nana!" Other students around chimed in.

Some people who knew the inside story looked at Zhang Na with disdain but didn't say anything.

After all, they were now fighting against another school, they couldn't weaken their own school's momentum!

At this time, the two people appearing on a stage also began their battle.

Around the stage were eighteen types of weapons, which they could freely choose from.

Zhang Jie, the young man from First High, casually took a long spear and rested it on his shoulder, looking at Li Dong provocatively.

"Should I make you kneel and beg for mercy? Although that Huang Xuan is quite useless, and I don't like him either, but you can't even keep your own woman. I really look down on you!"

While he was speaking, Li Dong had already taken two hammers from the weapon rack.

"You're not very lucky, meeting me when I'm in a bad mood," Li Dong said in a hoarse voice, enunciating each word.

Without any trash talk, the two directly started fighting.

There were no flashy spells, nor powerful divine arts.

The one or two enhancement spells they knew were basically used to enhance armies. It wasn't suitable to use them for attacks at this time.

Although they had opened their Divine Realms for more than two years, many people didn't have the patience to rely on self-study. They only focused on strengthening their units' power. As for themselves, after becoming Gods, it would be much faster to improve themselves than now.

Therefore, many people's strength was actually very weak without the enhancement of faith power and divine arts.

At this time, the strength of the two made the surrounding people nod repeatedly. It was obvious that they had put some effort into improving their own strength.

At first, Zhang Jie's expression was still careless, thinking how strong could the strength of a weak man like Li Dong be.

But after really engaging in combat, he found it wasn't so. With two hammers in hand, Li Dong's attacks were powerful and heavy. He couldn't bring out the advantage of his long spear.

In the clash between the long spear and the big hammers, he was at a disadvantage.

After all, when the big hammers struck the spear shaft, he only felt his tiger's mouth splitting.

Li Dong seemed tireless, hammering over again and again.

A series of attacks were very dense, quickly causing Zhang Jie's long spear to fly out of his hands, then one hammer smashed him to death.

Zhang Jie's figure disappeared from the stage, and First High's quota became nineteen.

"Next!" Li Dong spoke in a hoarse voice. At this time, there was still blood dripping from the two big hammers, looking very realistic.

This was a world without too many restrictions, needing to compete with various civilizations for resources. There was no saying children couldn't see blood and gore, this couldn't be done, that couldn't be seen.

In reality, seeing the end of the two's battle, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

Although it wasn't as grand as two armies fighting, battling with the God's main body was exciting enough.

First High quickly sent out their next contestant.

However, Li Dong's strength was no joke. After all, he was Sixth High's top student. He smashed the opponent to death in just a few moves.

"Next!" His voice didn't change, his hands holding the big hammers very steady.

He had given his resources to Zhang Na, naturally delaying his Divine Realm's development. He even had to work part-time jobs and couldn't improve his believers' strength. He could only train himself diligently.

In God's Domain, the promotion paths of each unit were actually cultivation paths. Gods could cultivate too.

For example, Ying Yingluo took the path of a weapon master. Although there was no subsequent advancement route, she had walked her own path, becoming a War God.

Li Dong was actually also taking the weapon master's path, influenced by Ying Yingluo at the time.

Weapon masters could only improve to the Silver Tier 9 level at most, with no method for breakthrough. It was unknown how to reach Gold Tier.

This problem, in all of humanity, only Zuo Tianyao knew how to solve. Li Dong also didn't know how to break through.

He had taken the path of a weapon master but had no direction for the next step. However, he wasn't an ordinary human unit; he could still improve without a promotion direction.

He trained hard time and time again. Although he had no resources, he could still use the school's corresponding facilities and venues.

Therefore, in various plane worlds, he still honed his martial arts.

At this time, several people who had come out from First High were all smashed to death by his big hammers.

In a bad mood, he swung the two big hammers continuously, without any holding back.

Although it wouldn't affect reality, being smashed to death in battle, that experience of death was very real and had a great impact on those students.

"I'll go!" Hearing the surrounding discussions and people pointing at her, Zhang Na's face darkened, and she directly stood up.

On the virtual battle stage, seeing Zhang Na appear, Li Dong's eyes wavered slightly, unconsciously gripping the hammers in his hands tighter.

"Li Dong, I didn't expect you to come this far. But we're not suitable. Today, I'm representing the school in battle, so I won't hold back because of our previous relationship!"

After coming on stage, Zhang Na didn't directly attack but said some nice words for show.

Their dialogue at this time could be heard outside. If they said something inappropriate, it would be terrible.

Of course, she wanted to seize this opportunity to show her face.

"Not suitable?" Li Dong's face was full of mockery.

"When you asked me for money and resources, I didn't hear you say we weren't suitable!"

"Li Dong..." Hearing him say this, Zhang Na's face changed.

How could he bring up such things on stage?

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Talk about a hammer!" Li Dong showed no mercy at all, directly attacking as soon as the battle started.

It was as if he had activated a berserk mode, performing very violently.

According to the competition rules, after the first person on stage chose the battle mode, the following people could only follow the previous battle mode, unless the victor made a change. Otherwise, it would continue like this.

At this time, Li Dong wanted main body battle. No matter how unwilling First High's people were, they could only fight him in this way.

Zhang Na's main body strength was actually not weak, but facing Li Dong, she was still defeated by him.

Unlike the previous opponents, this battle didn't end so quickly.

Li Dong's attacks hitting Zhang Na's body weren't fatal.

At first, she thought Li Dong was holding back, unwilling to hurt her. But after continuing to fight for a while, she realized it wasn't like that at all.

The hammers hitting her body, with restrained force, indeed couldn't kill, but it hurt!

Li Dong was using this method to take revenge on her.

Zhang Na was very vain. He was beating her black and blue in front of everyone, making her unable to show her face in the future.

He only regretted being blind, not seeing through this woman's true nature in their more than ten years of interaction.

One hammer after another, repeatedly smashing on Zhang Na's body, making her groan in pain, yet unable to avoid.

Until he had beaten her into a pig's head, and her pain sensation nerves reached their limit, automatically disconnecting from the game cabin, did this battle finally end.

At this time, all the people from First High couldn't help but stand up to verbally criticize Li Dong's behavior.

Fighting was one thing, but how could he treat a girl like this?

Sixth High's cheerleaders also retaliated, getting into an argument with the other side.

The girls from the two schools argued across space, which was quite exciting.

The audience wasn't stupid either. They could hear some general idea from the previous dialogue.

However, they were still divided into two factions.

Some people thought he beat her well, it was satisfying. If you dare to play with someone's feelings, you should be treated like this.

But some people also felt that although the girl was wrong, killing should stop at beheading. He could have just defeated her, there was no need to use such methods.

No matter what, the anger on First High's side had already risen.

Zhang Na's reputation at school wasn't good, but no matter what, at this moment she was representing First High in battle. Now being treated like this, regardless of the reason, on this occasion, the opponent was slapping First High, slapping all of their faces.

Anyone would find it intolerable.

Some people also expressed admiration for Li Dong's personal strength.

Units and Divine Realms could be quickly improved with financial power, but a God's main body strength needed self-cultivation and wasn't so easy to improve.

Li Dong being able to improve himself to this level showed he had put in hard work. Such a person, no matter where he went in the future, could achieve something.

Even some small clubs were considering whether to sign Li Dong and focus on cultivating him.

They didn't dare to think about geniuses like Fang Shuo. Their club was too small to afford such talents. But someone like Li Dong was most compatible with them.

After all, these small clubs had limited resources. Extremely talented individuals wouldn't be interested in them, and they were also afraid that after cultivating someone, the person would directly leave, causing them to lose their investment.
