Chapter 4: Four bombs, powerful enough to shatter everything.

Shen Yunling’s assessment was going incredibly smoothly.

Golden arrows continuously condensed in his hands, each one precisely piercing the vital spot of a demon.

The arrows broke through the air, demons turned into light, and the points soared rapidly.

Besides….

He looked around; there were plenty of demons, which meant a lot of points!

If he could eliminate them all, it would be enough to rank him at the top of this assessment.

Perhaps, not only could he match Jiang Qingyu, but he might even surpass her.

“Luck is sometimes a part of strength.”

Shen Yunling’s face relaxed, his mood pleasant, and the arrows of light in his hands condensed again.

But at that moment, a golden light suddenly shot up from the distance.

The light was dazzling, with faint Buddhist chants echoing, and the entire sky was illuminated.

Shen Yunling’s brows instantly furrowed, and the movement of condensing the arrow in his hand slightly paused.

Something was off.

This power was unfamiliar and strong, neither the familiar Greek divine radiance nor the lunar spells that Jiang Qingyu often used.

Who could it be?

Before he could figure it out, a sudden change occurred.

The demons that had been surrounding him seemed to be summoned by something and turned around and ran away all at once.

Shen Yunling: “???”

No way, the demons actually just ran away… ran away?

Wait a minute, he quickly realized that the points that should have been his were gone just like that!

Shen Yunling’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant. 

Without thinking, he shot an arrow, only to find that the demons were running too fast and had already gone beyond the range of his arrows.

Damn it!

“Chase them!”

He was determined to get those points. 

He had to get an excellent grade in this exam; otherwise, he would miss that spot and wouldn’t be able to explain it to his father.

Who was playing tricks? 

Could it be Jiang Qingyu?

Shen Yunling looked up at the golden light in the distance, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

She must have summoned some new deity again.

“I’ll remember this!”

***

On the other side, Jiang Qingyu was also stunned.

She had been hunting demons with the power of the Twin Moon God, but suddenly, her prey just ran away?

They turned and ran without even looking back.

Jiang Qingyu’s eyes flickered, and her first thought was that Shen Yunling was playing tricks.

Perhaps, the Shen family had given Shen Yunling some new trump card?

These children from prestigious families were always like this, always having all kinds of unexpected resources.

“To be able to do this…” she mused, “Could it be the legendary artifact ‘Covenant of the Gods’?”

No, this was just a final assessment. 

The Shen family wouldn’t use a resource of that level for this exam.

So who could it be? 

Who had been hiding their strength until now?

Jiang Qingyu thought for a moment, and suddenly a ridiculous idea flashed through her mind.

Could it be Su Fu?

“No way.” She instinctively denied it. 

She couldn’t have been pretending all this time.

But… her hand unconsciously tightened her weapon.

She had heard of precedents where someone awakened an astonishing talent at the brink of death.

And if Su Fu failed this assessment again, her fate would be no different from death.

Could she really have summoned some powerful deity?

If that were the case, then Su Fu might very well be her biggest rival in this exam.

She leaped up and sprinted in the direction of the fleeing demon horde.

Moonlight flowed around her, making her look like a silver gust of wind.

There was no point in overthinking it. 

Whether it was or not would be clear soon.

At this moment, the monitoring room was deathly silent.

“Wait………………What is she doing…” Jiang Yuqing’s voice trembled a bit, 

“The Demon Calamity skill was just used to attract demons?”

“Did we all guess wrong?”

The skill they thought was the most powerful, granted by the humanoid deity, turned out to be just a monster-attracting skill?

What about the other seemingly ordinary skills? 

Are they also hiding secrets?

They had been discussing how mediocre these skills were before, only to realize now that they might have been completely wrong.

The few people who were originally chatting now all stared intently at the golden light shooting up on the screen.

Lin Wenyu’s gaze quickly swept over the data panel, showing that 90% of the demons in the entire examination room were gathering towards Su Fu.

He said in disbelief, “Has Su Fu gone mad? She activated the skill to attract all the demons. How can she fight them?”

“This is just looking for death!”

On the screen, the red dots representing demons surged towards that lonely blue dot like a tide.

The dense red dots almost dyed the entire screen red, the scene was terrifying.

These were all the demons in the examination room. 

Even Jiang Qingyu or Shen Yunling would retreat if they encountered this situation.

“What is she doing now?” Jiang Yuqing frowned, “Just standing there waiting to die?”

In the picture, Su Fu still stood in place, her posture calm and inexplicable.

Zhou Nanyuan, who was usually lazy, became more serious when he saw this, but Su Fu was very calm and didn’t seem anxious at all.

She was even… tidying her clothes?

“Could it be that she was scared silly?” Jiang Yuqing muttered to herself.

Su Fu dared to do this because she had a hidden strength.

This was the “Spiritual Mountain Branch·Minor Demon Path” exam paper. 

From the name, it was known to be a branch from Spiritual Mountain. 

And who was the deity she summoned?

The professional demon-slayers on the journey to the West, the four disciples who fought demons all the way from the Tang Dynasty in the East to the Western Spiritual Mountain!

It was as if the exam paper was tailor-made for her.

Not to mention that she summoned four deities!

According to the memory of her original self, in a D-level exam paper, it was already amazing for a candidate to summon one deity. 

Having one more was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

But she had four!

So why was she still hesitating?

Su Fu gently stretched her wrist and looked at the distant horde of demons surging towards her, darkening the sky.

But in Su Fu’s eyes, these were not terrible demons.

They were… points delivered to her door.

Divine power surged, and four figures flowed around her: the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Marshal of Heaven, and the General of the Rolling Curtain!

Four big bombs!

What was there to wait for?

Shatter everything!

“Please, Great Sage, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!”

The shadow of the Great Sage behind Su Fu suddenly became clear.

The divine derivation light screen unfolded in the void, and the data stream poured down like a waterfall.

Before the words were finished, a golden light condensed into shape in her hand.

The figure of Sun Wukong slowly solidified behind her, and the ethereal voice seemed to come from ancient times.

“Let me, Old Sun, give you a hand!”

Su Fu grasped the Golden Cudgel in her hand, and the cudgel’s shadow swept across like a golden lightning bolt cutting through the darkness.

The demons in front of her were like paper-made, easily torn apart.

One by one, the demons turned into light, and points flowed into her account like water.

[+50 points]

[+50 points]

[Combo triggered]

[+100 points]

More and more demons swarmed over, but they couldn’t get close at all.

Su Fu’s Golden Cudgel swung, and with each swing came the demons’ screams and their transformation into light.

Her figure darted through the horde of demons, and points accumulated like a snowball rolling down a hill, quickly surpassing Shen Yunling in just a few seconds.

Seeing a group of demons descending from the sky, Su Fu remained calm and composed –

“Please, the Golden Body Arhat, the River-Sand Ferry Technique!”

The shadow of Sha Wujing appeared behind her, and the demon-subduing staff in his hand turned into a blue light that surged towards Su Fu.

The incantation for the River-Sand Ferry Technique suddenly appeared in Su Fu’s mind, and she recited it without hesitation. 

Sand rose into the air and wove into a large net in mid-air.

Majestic.

The demons descending from the sky were like moths drawn to a flame, colliding head-on into the sand net and instantly turning into light.

[+50 points]

[+50 points]

“Next is my second master!”

“Please, the Purifier of the Altar, the Nine-Toothed Rake!”

Zhu Bajie’s figure almost eagerly solidified, and Su Fu also condensed the Nine-Toothed Rake in her hand.

“Old Pig here has been starving and thirsty!”

The rake swung out, and the earth trembled.

The swarming demons were like wheat being harvested, turning into light in large patches.

[+200 points]

Su Fu single-handedly broke through a thousand troops, with the shadows of the four deities flowing around her. 

She alternately wielded the rake and the Golden Cudgel, swinging them with great vigor.

The examiners outside the examination room were already too shocked to speak.

The data stream on the right side of the Shen Yuan AI screen was jumping frantically, and the estimated time for the exam was rapidly decreasing.

[Estimated Assessment Completion Time: 2 hours]

[Updating data…….]

[Estimated Assessment Completion Time: 1 hour]

[Updating data……]

[Estimated Assessment Completion Time: 15 minutes]

[……]

“Impossible!” Lin Wenyu suddenly stood up, and the chair made a sharp scraping sound.

Each estimate by Shen Yuan AI was based on a vast amount of data extrapolation.

And now, this seemingly perfect system was frantically correcting its own calculations.

What did this mean?

It meant that the strength Su Fu had shown had completely exceeded the system’s initial expectations.

In other words, in the eyes of Shen Yuan AI, it would only take Su Fu fifteen minutes, no, even less, to kill all the demons.

And then, end this assessment.

This was the recognition of Su Fu by Shen Yuan AI.

Zhou Nanyuan’s fingers unconsciously clenched the table.

As the special envoy of the Ministry of Education and the chief inspector, he had seen too many so-called geniuses.

Chen Mingyuan from Lingyou No.1 Middle School, who could summon the avatar of Thor in the assessment.

Li Shuang from Beichen No.5 Middle School, who, with her bloodline, outperformed three scions of prestigious families in a D-level exam.

But……

His gaze was fixed intently on the figure in the picture, surrounded by four deities.

None of them could match Su Fu’s level.

Amidst the golden light, countless demons turned into light points and dissipated under Su Fu’s attack.

She was now clearing the demons in the entire examination room in a nearly overwhelming manner.

As for the other candidates?

Zhou Nanyuan’s eyes swept over more surveillance screens.

Shen Yunling and Jiang Qingyu were at the forefront, closest to Su Fu, and they were rushing towards the center of the golden light as fast as they could.

Most candidates were still further behind, chasing after the demons and trying to catch up frantically.

However, when he saw the constantly changing time on the data panel, he fell silent.

The outcome of this exam had already been decided.

He suddenly became curious about what the other candidates’ reactions would be when they arrived and saw this scene.
