Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

Seeing Xu Luo, Zhong Tianyue was pleased. At least he hadn't immediately spent that one million to become a God, which meant he had passed the test.

If he couldn't resist the temptation and had become a God, Zhong Tianyue would have had to remove him from the class.

After letting everyone know the harsh reality of the elite class and giving them a sense of urgency, Zhong Tianyue didn't waste words and began the lesson.

His teaching was similar to other teachers, explaining theoretical knowledge about developing Divine Realms, how to efficiently construct various buildings, how to combine different units, how to counter other units, how to increase species reproduction rates, and what items to use when species face reproductive pressure...

He explained everything vividly and in detail. His teaching level was higher than ordinary teachers, and he combined his own experiences, making it easier for students to understand.

Especially knowledge about feeding species, how to reduce costs, how to harvest more faith during sacrifices, and how to quickly improve civilization in one's Divine Realm – these were topics that regular class teachers hadn't covered yet.

The development of a Divine Realm ultimately aims to form a self-sufficient system, a complete civilization or even a civilization cluster, transitioning from tribes to countries, and then gradually developing into a divine kingdom.

So, Divine Realm development isn't just about producing units and cultivating troops. The evolution of species, having a rich variety of species, perfecting various terrains, and forming an ecological cycle are all necessary.

Zhong Tianyue explained all these in great detail.

However, while the first half was useful to Xu Luo, the latter half about civilization and nation-building was of no use to him.

His species was the Zerg; they didn't need much environmental or ecological construction. He only needed to strengthen the Zerg and the Queen.

Of course, the first half about countering different species was still very beneficial to him.

Soon, the class ended. As the principal, Zhong Tianyue naturally didn't have much time to teach them continuously, so after finishing the lesson, he hurriedly left. The following time was for their self-study.

The elite class didn't have as many rules and wasn't as strictly managed.

But if anyone slacked off, they would only fall behind others and leave the elite class in disappointment a month later.

After class, some students arranged to practice in the combat arena, while others prepared to go to the simulation combat arena to face other species and experience defending against invasions or learn from Xu Luo and try counter-invading.

Xu Luo was about to get something to eat when he looked up to see someone blocking his way.

"Do you need something?" He frowned, his tone not very pleasant.

He was really tired of this person now, always so self-important. Did he really think everyone should revolve around him?

"I'm very curious to see how long your mutant crawlers can last against my Dragon Blood Warriors."

Xiang Xun sneered, deliberately using "crawlers" to insult him.

Since yesterday, he had heard people discussing Xu Luo everywhere. He, the original top talent, was now being ignored.

As a direct descendant of the Xiang family, when had he ever experienced such treatment?

In any case, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Last night, he had spared no expense to obtain a Silver-tier Burrowing Drake, and now he wanted to teach Xu Luo a lesson, humiliating him in front of everyone.

As the New Student Champion, being defeated by someone else would be embarrassing. He wouldn't dare to call himself that anymore, would he?

He would let this commoner know that momentary luck meant nothing. In the face of the vast wealth, connections, and resources of a prominent family, mere species mutation was far from enough.

"Meet me in the combat arena. I'll be waiting for you there."

Xiang Xun said as he turned to leave. Only when he reached the door did he pause.

"Of course, if you're scared and don't dare to come, that's fine too. I'll just pretend this never happened."

Watching him trying to leave coolly, Xu Luo couldn't help but laugh.

What a chuunibyou teenager. Where does your confidence come from?

At this moment, some students were still in the classroom. Seeing this scene, their eyes lit up, and they started messaging their friends about this big event, urging them to come watch the excitement.

"Are you going?" Wang Xiaoling approached.

"Although Xiang Xun is annoying, his species is Dragonkin. They're quite formidable at the Bronze tier!"

"Well, we'll see," Xu Luo said calmly.

What if he didn't agree?

The other party had already challenged him so publicly. With so many people watching, if he fled without a fight, he wouldn't be able to show his face in school anymore. The mighty New Student Champion, afraid to face a challenge.

How would his classmates and teachers view him?

Others would think he was a pushover, all wanting to test him. He might as well take this opportunity to show his strength, making others think twice before challenging him again.

The various arenas were already close to the elite class classroom. Soon, under the gaze of his classmates, Xu Luo walked into the combat arena, right next to the simulation combat arena.

"They're really going at it! I wonder if they'll choose entertainment mode or combat mode!"

The onlooking classmates were very curious about their choice.

Entertainment mode was for friendly sparring, with no losses regardless of the outcome. But combat mode meant real fighting, which students rarely chose.

After all, it was more likely to result in mutual destruction.

"You're the guest, so I'll let you choose. Do you want entertainment mode or combat mode?"

Xiang Xun looked at Xu Luo provocatively. Although he said he was letting Xu Luo choose, his meaning was clear – he hoped for combat mode. If Xu Luo chose entertainment mode, it would mean he was afraid.

"The guest follows the host. If you think you're the host, then you choose."

Xu Luo spoke calmly. He actually hoped the other would choose combat mode. Dragonkin! It would be great if he could obtain dragon genes!

"Alright then, let's choose combat mode!"

Xiang Xun spoke arrogantly.

After agreeing, they both entered the game pods, connecting to their Divine Realms.

During the battle, the battlefield wouldn't be either of their Divine Realms. This was different from Divine Realm invasion.

When the battle began, both sides' units would be teleported to a battlefield for combat!

The victory condition was simple.

Whoever's units were the last standing would be the winner.

However, this method was very cruel, as the losing side's units would be completely annihilated.

After entering the game pod, Xu Luo quickly saw the battle mode selection appear before him.

"Choose combat mode!"

Without any hesitation, he directly chose combat.

[Combat mode selected. Unit deaths cannot be reversed!]
