Chapter 168: Chapter 161: The Moon God Appears, the Plan Descending from the Sky
A colossal pillar of light, silver laced with black, shot into the sky!
It instantly blocked the giant, descending foot of the two-hundred-meter-tall Tree-man.
The massive, two-hundred-meter-tall Tree-man, caught by the surprise attack, lost its footing and stumbled back a step. But after retreating, under the joint control of the Natural Elf Mages, the massive, two-hundred-meter-tall Tree-man braced itself once more. It gathered its strength and kicked forward with immense force!
BOOM!
After briefly repelling the giant, the pillar of light—silver laced with black—that had just blocked the massive Tree-man’s kick transformed into a new defensive formation, protecting the entire Main City of the Moon Elves.
Seeing the sudden turn of events and sensing that vast aura, a thought flashed through the mind of Zhang Yi, who was observing the battle. The Moon God on the other side has finally made a move! I don’t have to go searching for it anymore!
At the same time, an Oracle from the Great God of Nature quietly entered the mind of Elf Corps Commander Feiyana.
"Get the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps in order. Prepare to move out!"
Having received her orders, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana silently slipped out of the tent.
Noticing this, it was not just the Dwarf Leader, Copperbeard Ironhammer, but also the Shadow Elf Assassin Hassan, the Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala—who had just finished Casting and had rushed back to the tent to recover Magic Power—and even the Elf High Priest Shamiel who took note of her departure. They all knew in their hearts that the plan mentioned by the Great God of Nature, the one to descend from the heavens, was about to begin!
Meanwhile, the teachers had originally been drawn over by the aura of the Forbidden Curse Spell, Flame Prison Celestial Tribulation. They had only intended to see what was happening. But when a second Forbidden Curse Spell was unleashed immediately after, almost all the Grade 2 teachers, with the exception of the form teacher, Guo Aiqing, whose attention had been here all along, fixed their gazes on the spot.
Even Principal Tang Weihua cast a curious gaze in this direction. To their surprise, after the two Forbidden Curse Spells, the aura of a Sixth Transformation Demigod emerged. And by the looks of it, that examinee had no intention of retreating. He wanted to duel the Sixth Transformation Demigod head-on!
Interesting, how very interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a scene that gets my blood pumping like this! This sight can’t help but remind me of my younger self!
Gazing at the scene before him, Principal Tang Weihua was unconsciously reminded of his own senior year, when he had slain a High Transformationed Demigod! He had been just as high-spirited back then, fearless even in the face of a Demigod! And this examinee he saw now bore a strong resemblance to his younger self.
When Principal Tang Weihua used his Divine Power to identify which examinee this was, he immediately recognized him. Isn’t this Zhang Yi?
Sure enough, as Principal Tang Weihua used his Divine Power to identify the examinee using Saint’s Descent on his Clan member as Zhang Yi, the military officer sent to supervise also sensed this, a flash of astonishment in his eyes! But after the initial surprise, he showed no further reaction.
The other Grade 2 teachers were a step slower than Principal Tang Weihua, but they too perceived that the examinee was Zhang Yi.
"Reckless, this is just too reckless!" the Grade 2 Head of Year, Gaoxin Bridge, couldn’t help but say. "Encountering a Sixth Transformation Demigod, and his first thought isn’t self-preservation! Charging headfirst into an enemy you know you can’t beat is not the act of a warrior, it’s the act of a fool!"
Even though he hadn’t liked Zhang Yi’s showboating during the divine battle with Li Boyang, setting those feelings aside, he was still a very good teacher. When he saw Zhang Yi preparing to face the new Elf God—the Moon God, nurtured by half the Power of the Moonlight Forest—all on his own, his first reaction was still worry for Zhang Yi’s safety!
Even though the consequences of death during a Saint’s Descent were not as severe compared to the other two methods, for a student, it would still have a certain impact on their developing Divine Soul!
Seeing this unfold, Teacher Xu Yiweng, who was also reminded of the past, felt a sense of unease. A shield, formed from the condensed entirety of his Divine Power as a High Transformationed Demigod, was already taking shape in his hands. If things went south, he would do everything in his power to save this wisp of Zhang Yi’s Divine Soul.
At that moment, however, it was Guo Aiqing, the form teacher of the priority first class, who patted Teacher Xu Yiweng’s arm, stopping him. "Zhang Yi’s actions haven’t triggered the school’s protection protocols. Teacher Xu, you don’t need to worry so much!"
Seeing another teacher interrupt him, Teacher Xu Yiweng was initially a little angry. But when he saw that it was Teacher Guo of the priority first class, Teacher Xu Yiweng was confused.
Seeing the confusion in Teacher Xu Yiweng’s eyes, the form teacher Guo Aiqing sighed internally. Is he your student, or mine? Why does it feel like you care about him more than I do?
Then, form teacher Guo Aiqing explained, "We proctors and the supervising military officer can only intervene if something poses a serious threat to an examinee’s life! Zhang Yi is not using a True Body Descent. Whether it’s a Descent of the Divine Soul or a Saint’s Descent, the loss of that wisp of Divine Soul is not covered by our protection! Sometimes, letting go is the better form of protection! Teacher Xu, don’t worry! I know Zhang Yi better than you do. He’s not an impulsive student. If he dares to do this, he definitely has an ace up his sleeve! Why don’t we wait and see?"
Hearing form teacher Guo Aiqing’s words and recalling the exam’s protection rules, Teacher Xu Yiweng gave a sheepish smile. His own actions just now had indeed been a bit excessive.
In the brief moment that Elf Corps Commander Feiyana had stepped out to find William and prepare the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps, the pillar of silver and black light that had erupted earlier suddenly expanded again! Within the pillar of light, a massive, vaguely shaped figure could be seen, slowly awakening. And as this blurry figure awoke, a vast divine aura, dozens of times stronger than before, exploded outward! Countless weaker Middle Elves who had not undergone Bloodline Evolution were overwhelmed by this pressure and forced to their knees!
As the figure gradually revived, Zhang Yi, still in his Saint’s Descent state, felt this aura and actually breathed a sigh of relief. That’s right. This is roughly the strength of a Sixth Transformation Top Level Demigod! If the opponent doesn’t have a Semi-Divine Artifact, I can stop them even on my own!
Carefully sensing the Power behind this aura, Zhang Yi felt a flicker of joy. But according to the intel I gathered earlier, this Moon God likely inherited an Elf Ruins. The probability that It possesses an Attack-type Divine Artifact is high. I still can’t let my guard down!
At that moment, Elf Corps Commander Feiyana lifted the tent flap and re-entered. "The Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps is ready. The plan to descend from the heavens can be executed!"
"For the Great God of Nature!"
As Elf Corps Commander Feiyana shouted the slogan, the eagerly awaiting Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer, Shadow Elf Assassin Hassan, and Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala all responded in kind!
"Loyalty!"
"Loyalty!"
"Loyalty!"
