By associating with Nezha, I became the darling of the Chinese gods.

Chapter 33 Fighting Alone? But My Backer is Flower Fruit Mountain
A familiar dizzying sensation.

When Wen Miao opened her eyes again, she found herself in another world.

Looking up, you see towering mountains; looking down, you see endless yellow earth.

As far as the eye can see, there are endless mountains and earth.

Is this the "Four Directions Guarding the Territory" examination hall?

It looks rather desolate; there isn't even a single evil creature.

Despite these thoughts, Wenmiao dared not be careless at all, and silently placed the lotus flower in her arms on her head.

[Hello candidate, your assigned location has been marked with a red dot. You can view it on the map after the exam begins.]

[Note: In addition to capturing other candidates' strongholds, you can also hunt down evil creatures within the examination hall to earn points.]

[Beep, the selection competition has begun. All candidates, please be prepared to awaken your divine power.]

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Miao immediately clicked the 'Artifact Extraction' button on the system interface.

In an instant, a fire-tipped spear appeared in Wen Miao's hand, and the Hun Tian Ling quickly wrapped around Wen Miao's side.

The Fire-Tipped Spear is ready to be fired!
The Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) may appear to be flowing freely, but it is actually always in a defensive posture.

Anyone who tries to ambush Wen Miao will immediately suffer a violent backlash from the Hun Tian Ling.

Wen Miao stretched her limbs and clicked on the map to check her assigned stronghold.

Southwest, 36m

[Outpost Value Points: 2000]

Following the map's directions, Wen Miao turned her head and was greeted by a desolate mountain.

Let it be a barren mountain.

Wen Miao accepted the situation well and, carrying her fire-tipped spear, went into the desolate mountain to take a look.

This barren mountain is very short, and there isn't even a single tree to provide shade on it; it's completely bare.

Wen Miao stared at the '2000 points' marked on the map interface, stroking her chin in thought.

I don't know how many points other candidates' strongholds are worth.

By the way, where were the other candidates assigned to their bases?

Wen Miao clicked on the map to view it.

[Nearby outposts: 0]

[Nearby Evil Species: 1]

Wen Miao: "..."

Wen Miao was amused by the glaring '0' and '1' on the map.

So unlucky?

There isn't a single outpost around where I can earn points!
There is only one evil seed!
Impressed!

I was originally planning to give it my all as soon as I entered the exam hall…

Wen Miao sighed in disappointment and, following the map's guidance, found a B+ grade evil species near the desolate mountain.

Then, he stabbed him to death.

Points are credited to your account with ease.

[Wenmiao Points +1]

Total Points: 1

That's so little!
Killing a B+ grade evil species only earns 1 point.

But this desolate mountain stronghold in front of us is worth a full 2000 points!

The difference between the two is so huge…

Wen Miao's expression turned thoughtful, and a bold guess suddenly arose in her mind—

It seems that instead of having test takers hunt down evil creatures everywhere, this is a better option.

Invigilators prefer that test takers earn points by capturing each other's strongholds!
If that's the case, then things will be difficult.

Because this selection competition is not essentially a struggle between candidates and evil beings, but a head-on confrontation between candidates!
No wonder Jiang Yu said that the competition in this selection process would be extremely fierce.

After all, test takers are much harder to deal with than evil spirits!
In particular, students from the four schools will band together for mutual support and fight as a team.

Right now, she's probably fighting this battle all by herself.

But just then, Wenmiao's system emitted a series of electronic voices:

[Ding! Your bound character, Sun Wukong, has sent you a 'monkey hair' as a gift in return.]

Wen Miao: "???"

A return gift?!
Wait, when did the system enable the gift-giving feature?!
Why didn't they even tell her?

The next second, Wen Miao felt an itch in her palm.

Wen Miao opened her palm and looked down.

A single monkey hair, clearly visible in the sunlight, glittered and shone brighter than gold.

[The Monkey King's Gift: When used, it summons over 47,000 spirit monkeys from Flower Fruit Mountain to provide temporary assistance in battle.]

[Usage time limit: 1 hour.]

[Host, please note that this is a single-use item. Use with caution.]

Upon seeing this, Wen Miao gasped instantly. Then, an overwhelming surge of joy washed over her.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise!

She can actually summon the monkeys from Flower Fruit Mountain to help her in battle!
Forty-seven thousand monkeys…

Most of these monkeys had once followed Sun Wukong in a direct confrontation with the Heavenly Court!

Huaguo Mountain has never produced any cowards!
This group of monkeys could withstand the siege of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, let alone besiege a mere examinee or evil creature!

If you put monkeys in the exam room, wouldn't they blow this little exam room up to the heavens?!

Thinking of this, Wen Miao couldn't help but silently mourn for the candidates present.

Who says she's fighting alone?
Behind her is the entire Flower and Fruit Mountain!
[Host, would you like to use the monkey hair prop now?]

Wen Miao shook her head, replying in her mind, "Not for now."

She opened the exam room map again to check.

The screen was filled with countless red dots.

At the same time, red dots are constantly being swallowed up and disappearing by other red dots.

It's easy to imagine how fiercely the candidates were competing in the exam hall!
In the end, only the strongest candidates will remain and monopolize all the stronghold points.

In this case…

She could have waited until they were almost finished fighting before making her appearance.

This will save you some trouble.

Thinking of this, Wen Miao closed the map and found a shady spot in her desolate mountain stronghold.

Then, I leisurely lay down to rest.

"No hurry, no rush..."

Let her make a flag first.

-

the other side.

The principals of the four major seminaries appeared simultaneously in the examination room.

The selection competition was personally supervised by four school principals.

Moreover, Jiang Lin, the commander of the First Army Headquarters, also took time out of his busy schedule to come.

The fact that five bigwigs are present at the same time demonstrates the importance the Federation attaches to the Five Schools League.

The surveillance footage shows numerous test-takers desperately vying for the same spots as other test-takers.

They mostly form alliances and adopt a team battle mode with five people per group.

One group of students, each skilled in defense, were stationed at their own stronghold, while the rest took turns attacking the strongholds of other students to earn points together.

Except for one person.

Jiang Yu.

Behind him, a huge phantom image of a god appeared.

It can reach the heavens!

The momentum is compelling!

Surrounded by the phantom of the divine statue, Jiang Yu held a divine staff, his entire body radiating immense divine power.

With a wave of his hand, lightning burst forth!

"Boom--!"

Wherever lightning strikes, nothing can stand in its way!
Jiang Yu keeps taking over our strongholds!
Countless test takers died at Jiang Yu's hands.

at the same time.

The leaderboard outside the exam hall was updating rapidly, with bright red text prominently displayed—

First place: Jiang Yu!

The principal of the Central Theological Seminary turned to the principal of the Federal Theological Seminary and praised him:

"This Jiang Yu is extraordinary! At such a young age, he can summon the phantom of a god. No wonder he is the strongest in your Federation Theological Seminary!"

The principal of the Federal Theological Seminary humbly remarked, "Your college's Shang Tianqi is also very impressive, ranking second. He's definitely among the candidates participating in the Five Schools League."

Even the notoriously rigid military academy principal couldn't help but sigh:
"Commander Jiang, with your son leading the team, it seems that our Federation can finally avenge our defeat in this Five Schools League!"

Jiang Lin remained silent, but his gaze did not fall upon Jiang Lin, who was the most prominent figure in the room.

He lowered his eyes, staring intently at a corner of the surveillance screen.

It was a barren mountain.

While everyone else was fighting tooth and nail for points, one candidate was leisurely making a flag.

It seemed completely out of place.

Jiang Lin squinted, staring at the rankings on the leaderboard, unable to look away for a long time.

Last place—

Wen Miao.

What exactly is she doing?
Why not summon the deity Nezha?

The gap on the leaderboard is widening; has she already given up?
