“Please select your [Faith Pantheon] for this time.”
Golden data streams flow in the void, turning into eight beams of light.
Greek pantheon, Indian pantheon, Norse pantheon, Heaven pantheon, Egyptian pantheon, Mayan pantheon, and Amaterasu pantheon……………
The last beam of light is so dim that it is almost about to dissipate in the void.
[Chinese Pantheon]
Su Fu’s gaze falls on that dim beam of light.
The depth of the color represents the strength of faith.
She says directly: “I choose the Chinese Pantheon.”
[Warm reminder: The faith value of this pantheon is extremely low, with a historical pass rate of 0. Please make a careful decision!]
Su Fu raises her eyebrows, “Can it even give such a prompt?”
Almost impatiently, the void reveals the recommended data of other pantheons.
[Greek pantheon: Current faith value: 92.7%, historical pass rate: 99.8%, popular deities: Athena, the goddess of wisdom, Ares, the god of war……]
[Indian pantheon: Current faith value: 87.6%, historical pass rate: 99.5%, popular deities: Shiva, Vishnu, Garuda……]
“Ding! “
[We recommend the Greek pantheon that is currently the most suitable for you………………]
Even the projection of Athena appears in the void.
The holy radiance envelops the figure of the goddess of wisdom, and her spear-holding posture is majestic and elegant.
Su Fu: “…………………”
No, this guiding advertisement is too obvious, right?
How much money must have been spent?
Does it even have a dynamic projection?
It almost blatantly encourages her to choose the Greek pantheon.
But if she were to say, replacing this projection with the Moon Palace fairy Chang’e would definitely look better!
With a flowing wide-sleeved fairy dress and holding a jade rabbit, how ethereal!
She no longer hesitates, “No, I am determined to choose the Chinese Pantheon.
[Final reminder: The choice cannot be changed once made!]
“I am determined.”
Do you not believe in the deities of our great Chinese pantheon, and instead trust these advertisements?
As she confirms, the originally dim beam of light suddenly emits a faint glow.
[Candidate Su Fu, Kunlun Academy, student number F01, has confirmed the choice of the Chinese Pantheon]
[Exam paper loading…….]
[Exam paper loading complete]
[Your exam paper for this time is: Ling Mountain Branch·Little Demon Way, randomly drawing from the [Chinese Pantheon] deity pool……]
***
In the teacher’s monitoring room, the projection screen displays the real-time footage of the examination space.
“The quality of the candidates is really getting worse and worse.” A lazy voice sounded.
The speaker is the head of the examination group, Zhou Nanyuan, the special envoy and chief inspector of the Ministry of Education.
He lightly taps his fingers on the table, his gaze scanning through the many screens.
Lin Wenyu subtly frowns.
Why is this guy so pretentious?
Can’t he just say it without feeling itchy all over?
“Group Leader Zhou is right.” Another proctor, Jiang Yuqing, laughs and agrees,
“However, there are still some promising candidates.”
“The one from the Shen family has already stably summoned the Greek deity Apollo three times.”
Zhou Nanyuan’s gaze falls on Shen Yunling’s screen “Shen family?”
“I remember a Shen Yunzhou from the previous session who did quite well. Is this his younger brother?”
“He falls short.”
Lin Wenyu’s expression freezes for a moment.
This Group Leader Zhou is really straightforward in his speech.
Just at this moment, the screen on the monitoring screen shows the content of the exam paper.
“This…………… ” Jiang Yuqing is stunned for a moment and said ,
“It’s actually the D-level side quest [Ling Mountain Branch·Little Demon Way]? It’s a relatively mild exam paper.”
[Ling Mountain Branch·Little Demon Way] is the most basic exam paper in the Ling Mountain series, specifically designed for first-year students, with a pass rate of 70% for D-level standards.
The exam paper contains a standard D-level single anomaly, usually mimicking a physically attacking and low-intelligence little demon.
Zhou Nanyuan says meaningfully, “Compared to the 2% pass rate of the main quest [Demon Blocking the Way] in the Ling Mountain main line, it is indeed mild.”
“2%? Isn’t that pass rate too low?” Lin Wenyu can’t help but exclaim,
“Even an S-level candidate may not be able to pass, right?”
“Forget about S-level candidates.” Zhou Nanyuan glances at him,
“Three months ago, the great priest of the Amaterasu pantheon, Fujiwara Chiyoda, personally challenged the main quest exam paper and was severely injured by an unknown demon.”
“And this Ling Mountain branch exam paper only takes a small section of the mountain road, and the pass rate is only 70%.”
Lin Wenyu’s face turns slightly pale: “The entire [Ling Mountain series] is interconnected. Since it’s so dangerous, why is it still used as the final exam?”
Zhou Nanyuan doesn’t speak.
The exam is, of course, for screening.
Jiang Yuqing reminds: “The summoning of deities has begun.”
After the exam paper appears, it’s time to summon deities.
Summoning, in fact, is the Shen Yuan AI randomly drawing matching deities from the pantheon based on the characteristics of the exam paper.
If the candidate can successfully “call its name and recognize its seal” for the summoned deity, they can obtain a portion of the deity’s power and randomly gain some of the deity’s skills.
It is even possible to obtain the deity’s supernatural powers, but the chance of obtaining supernatural powers in a D-level exam paper is almost zero.
The monitoring screen shows Shen Yunling’s summoning process.
Golden radiance pours down from the void, outlining the sacred contour of Apollo.
A brilliant sun wheel unfolds behind him, illuminating the entire forest.
“Truly a child of the Shen family.” Jiang Yuqing praises,
“Just being able to stably summon the deity Apollo has already surpassed most peers.”
Zhou Nanyuan still leans lazily back in his chair without speaking.
People are different.
Families have deity traditions from a young age, in addition to matching cultivation resources and various deity-inherited cultivation methods.
This precious and non-circulating deity knowledge has never been something that hard work can make up for.
But…… There are exceptions.
Zhou Nanyuan’s gaze falls on Jiang Qingyu’s monitoring screen.
He has to take back what he said just now.
There are still geniuses in this batch of candidates.
“This is……” Jiang Yuqing’s voice trembles a bit, “Dual deity resonance?”
In the picture, Jiang Qingyu’s figure is enveloped by moonlight.
The moonlight is like water, flowing around her and outlining two sacred shadows – the figures of Artemis and Hecate gradually become clear.
The goddess of hunting and the witch of the moon appear at the same time, and the silver radiance weaves into a net.
“To be able to summon two deities at the same time, one must have at least a 70% deity affinity, right?”
Zhou Nanyuan concludes: “This kind of talent can enter the provincial deity academy.”
To rise to a higher deity academy, one must meet at least one of the following: deity affinity, divine power resources, and deity bloodline.
The higher the affinity, the easier it is to gain the favor of the deity.
Such people are usually called “the deity’s favorite.”
This is a talent, innate.
After these two, the subsequent summoning process is nothing to talk about, all are ordinary and common deities.
“Now it should be almost all the candidates have finished summoning, right?”
Jiang Yuqing glances at the screen, Lin Wenyu’s expression is not very good,
“There is still one left.”
“Su Fu.”
He is frustrated in his heart.
He never expected that the previously honest and simple Su Fu would dare to deceive him!
Saying to choose other pantheons, but in the end, she still chose the Chinese Pantheon!
Jiang Yuqing’s expression is a bit subtle.
She remembers this special candidate, “The only one from the Chinese Pantheon?”
Chinese Pantheon?
Zhou Nanyuan is somewhat surprised.
It’s rare that a candidate would choose the Chinese Pantheon now?
A pass rate of zero percent, how dare she?
The screen switches, in Su Fu’s examination space, it is still chaotic, not even the most basic divine power fluctuation has appeared.
Lin Wenyu’s face is expressionless, “As expected, she failed to summon again.”
“Should have persuaded her to quit earlier, to save the waste of educational resources.”
Zhou Nanyuan looks at him with a smile that is not quite a smile, “Teacher Lin, can you decide the candidates’ stay and leave now?”
Lin Wenyu’s expression freezes for a moment, then he realizes that this is a warning that he has overstepped his bounds.
He immediately breaks out in a cold sweat on his back,
“I………………”
“I didn’t mean that.”
Zhou Nanyuan withdraws his gaze.
He can roughly understand this candidate’s thoughts.
With no family background and no talent, wanting to change one’s destiny against the odds can only take a gamble.
What if it works?
Jiang Yuqing shakes her head and speaks softly,
“It’s a pity that these people always want to get rich overnight.”
But based on what?
The accumulation of generations of families, the efforts of countless predecessors, why should you be able to surpass just by taking a gamble?
Once the identity is out, the fate is set.
People should resign themselves to their fate.
Just at this moment, the voice of the Shen Yuan AI suddenly sounds:
[Warning: The spatial stability is continuously decreasing]
[Spatial stability: 98%→95%]
Jiang Yuqing’s voice is cut off.
She is shocked to look at the picture in front of her, and the smile on her face is frozen.
The originally chaotic space begins to ripple slightly, like a calm lake surface being gently touched, rippling circles.
The Chinese deity…… descends!
***
At the same time, Su Fu looks at the prompt in front of her:
[Ling Mountain Branch·Little Demon Way] exam paper?
Ling Mountain?
Is it the Ling Mountain she thought of?
If it is, then the demons and monsters in the exam paper are really powerful.
Without divine power, she would be a heavenly delivery snack once she goes in, and it would be the kind that crunches.
The system prompt in front of her is still flashing:
[Randomly drawing from the Chinese Pantheon deity pool…..]
Su Fu prays silently in her heart: Ancestors, bless me, you must match me with a powerful deity!
It all depends on you all!
The golden data stream in the void suddenly becomes violent, and four brilliant divine power beams shoot up into the sky, weaving into a net in the air.
[Ding!]
[The Chinese Pantheon deity pool matching is complete]
[This time’s random draw result: Journey to the West]
Su Fu’s eyes immediately brighten.
Her luck is really too good!
It’s Journey to the West!
She is very familiar with this.
She believes that there is no Chinese person who does not know Journey to the West!
Soon, the four divine powers in front of her gradually transform into four vague figures.
The figures are already vague enough, and there is also a layer of mist on the outermost layer, making them even more hazy and indistinct.
This is not a problem for her alone, it is the limitation of the D-level exam paper.
The clarity of the deity’s image depends on the exam paper level.
The higher the level, the clearer the deity’s image.
It is said that in the S-level exam paper, the clarity of the deity’s image can reach more than 90%.
And for the D-level exam paper, there are only outlines.
But even with just outlines, she is all too familiar with them!
“A figure holding a club-like object stands at the front, behind him is a tall figure in a loose robe, and further back are two more figures holding what seem to be a rake and a shovel……”
At a glance, it’s the four members of the Journey to the West pilgrimage!
Come to think of it, where’s the White Dragon Horse?
[Please start summoning, establish a connection with the deity, and randomly draw a deity skill]
[Reminder: You must correctly call its name and recite its title]
Su Fu can hardly wait.
She takes a deep breath.
Her gaze falls on the figure at the front, and she speaks:
“Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong.”
Boom!
A golden beam of light soars into the sky, and the Great Sage stands tall, majestic, sacred, yet with an indescribable air of defiance.
Su Fu turns to the second figure:
“Bodhi Merit Buddha, Tang Xuanzang!”
Another burst of golden light, the outline of the kasaya robe flickers in the radiance, and the compassionate Buddha light envelops all around.
“Keeper of the Clean Altar, Zhu Bajie!”
Silver light explodes, and the shadow of the rake soars into the sky.
“Golden Body Arhat, Sha Wujing!”
Cyan light flows, the crescent shovel slices through the void, as if one could hear the roar of rivers.
The four divine powers interweave in the void, echoing each other, and subtly form a complete formation.
All the divine lights soar into the sky, and all the summonings are successful!
[Congratulations to candidate Su Fu for successfully summoning all the deities!]
[Randomly drawing deity skills……]
A series of skills suddenly appear in the void:
[The Compliant Golden Cudgel·Great Sage]
[The Somersault Cloud·Ten Thousand Miles]
[Great Compassion·Ten Thousand Buddhas Bowing]
[Nine-toothed Rake·Stirring Up Rivers and Inverting Seas]
[Sand River Magic·Connecting Heaven and Earth]
However, these skills only flicker for a moment before quickly dimming, turning into:
[The Compliant Golden Cudgel·D-level]
[Buddha’s Radiance·Faint]
[The Calamity of Demons]
[Nine-toothed Rake·Basic]
[Sand River Crossing Technique·Beginner]
[Your skills have been drawn!]
Su Fu is not surprised by the weakening of the skills.
This is clearly due to the limitations of the exam paper level.
After all, this is just a D-level exam paper.
If it were to directly give a complete version of the Somersault Cloud, one could flip out of the exam room with a single somersault.
What kind of exam would that be then!
But even with the most basic abilities, she is already very satisfied.
Hehe~
China bless me!
This time, it’s a sure thing!
[Ding!]
[All candidates are ready]
[Exam paper distribution is complete]
[The exam officially begins]
[We wish you a pleasant exam!]
