Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Chen Nian and the others returned to the aircraft.

[Identity verification complete, initiating...]

The aircraft started without incident, and the group returned to World Tree Academy safely.

As the team leader, Chen Nian reported the mission status to the dean.

"This is the cruelty of war. Since the academy was founded, I, an old man, have witnessed far too many people leave. If you live long enough, you'll get used to it."

The dean patted Chen Nian on the shoulder: "All the team members who sacrificed their lives will receive additional commendations from the academy, and their names will be inscribed on the martyrs' monument."

"By the way, Dean, there's one more thing. We met a girl, and she... is very special."

After Chen Nian told him about A Yuan, he asked, "Dean, you're very knowledgeable, do you really have such abilities?"

"Unheard of."

"Even the dean didn't know?!"

"Haha, I'm not omniscient, but there's someone who might know. I can ask them for you when you have time."

Chen Nian asked curiously, "Are there really people who need you, Dean, to ask them personally? Are there such people in the world?"

"You'll find out when you have the chance," the dean said with a mysterious smile.

.......

After leaving, Chen Nian went directly to the World Tree Courtyard to meet the World Tree consciousness.

He gained a large amount of performance points for killing two primordial demon gods, which he could use to greatly enhance his strength.

Performance Points: 50

It seems that you get more points for defeating higher-ranked demons.

Chen Nian's thinking was clear: first, he needed a weapon that could truly deliver the final blow, because his current weapon was insufficient to suppress the "magical artifact" of the primordial demon god.

Neither the Sun and Moon Mystic Weapon nor the Demon Blade Murasame are enough.

It must be a weapon like Su Jinyu's "Chiyou Sword," capable of turning the tide of battle.

Therefore, Chen Nian directly targeted the [Ancient Artifacts] series when selecting weapons.

Nuwa Sword: 30 performance points

Opening the Heavenly Bead: 30 performance points

Qiankun Circle: 30 performance points

Ten-Fist Sword: 30 Performance Points

Thor's Hammer: 30 performance points

Mountain-Splitter: 30 performance points

.......

As expected of the World Tree, it can even exchange for these things.

Chen Nian didn't hesitate and naturally chose his signature weapon—the mountain-splitting axe!

[Mountain-splitting axe: This axe can change size, possesses immense power, and weighs as much as a thousand pounds]

This axe comes in four different forms.

[Normal Form: Only normal size, slightly weaker]

[First-tier divine power unleashed; a single axe strike can cleave mountains and rivers, its power greatly increased!]

[Second-Tier Divine Power Unleashed: A single axe strike can cleave the ocean, its power is boundless! (Requires 50 Performance Points to unlock)]

[Third-Tier Divine Power Unleashed: A single axe strike can cleave the heavens and earth, unparalleled in the world! (Requires 80 Performance Points to unlock)]

Goodness, the later parts actually require a lot of performance points to unlock, the complete version is too expensive!

I'm going to try it out and see what makes it so expensive!

Chen Nian immediately took it out.

Even in its normal form, I simply can't lift the axe handle with both hands!

It's like moving a mountain!

I refuse to believe I can't even get this thing working.

"Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, Physical Body Achieved Sainthood."

Golden divine light surrounded him, and Chen Nian's physical strength was greatly enhanced.

This time, he was finally able to lift the axe with ease and swing it as if it were his own arm!

"That's it? Let's try the first-tier liberation form."

The method of liberation is very simple. There are three runes on the blade of the mountain-splitting axe. As long as you inject divine power into one of the runes, you can enter the liberation state.

In an instant, the ancient and complex runes lit up with golden light, signifying the first-tier liberation.

"I... damn it..."

The axe that Chen Nian had casually raised suddenly sank.

The weight has increased at least tenfold!

Even in a state of physical sainthood, it would be difficult to wield it easily... It's too powerful.

Even without any special effects, a weapon of that weight would be enough to shatter the skull of the original demon god if it were to fall down.

It is estimated that to use the later advanced forms, one would need to activate "Divine Intervention" or even "Heaven and Earth Manifestation"!

In normal combat, he uses the Sun and Moon Mystic Weapon; when it's truly a life-or-death situation, he uses the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

After exchanging weapons, Chen Nian has 20 performance points left.

He originally wanted to improve his rank, but he didn't expect that after entering the seventh rank, the performance points required to improve the rank would increase significantly, making it somewhat unworthy of his efforts.

Since engaging in high-intensity battles will also level you up, why not exchange for another powerful skill?

With that in mind, Chen began looking for new skills.

This time, he discovered a special skill that he had never seen before.

Could it be that as one's rank increases, the number of abilities that can be exchanged also increases?

High-risk Word of Power, Sequence 134 - Fingertip Stars: 20 Performance Points

【Starry Night at Your Fingertips: Condensing the divine power of stars with a single finger, possessing immense destructive power; use with caution】

[Note: This spell can only be used when "Destiny" and "Stars" are activated.]

When the Destiny "Stars" is activated, one will be enveloped in the divine radiance of the stars and continuously gain extraordinary power and divine strength.

It can only be used during this period, such stringent conditions?

It only cost 10 performance points to redeem "Virtualization" back then, but this one costs a full 20!

It seems like a desperate, high-risk move.

The redemption is complete, and all performance points have been used up.

.......

Chen Nian withdrew from the space of consciousness.

At this moment, he thought of Tang Rou again.

She was still angry when we parted, and I didn't have a chance to have a proper talk with her. I wonder how she is now?

The seventh level is a dangerous zone already occupied by calamity, the front line of war.

Sigh, I wonder when she'll be back.

Chen Nian realized that he had gotten used to having Tang Rou by his side. Now that his little secretary was gone and he could no longer see her lively and cheerful personality, he felt empty inside.

However, it was indeed my fault for not looking for her after returning to the academy, as my thoughts were all focused on Xiaoyu.

I'll apologize to her when she gets back.

Chen Nian thought to himself.

Just then, he suddenly received a message from the dean, asking him to go to his office.

"Dean, I'm coming in."

Chen Nian knocked on the door before entering the office: "Did the dean need to see me?"

Two things.

"First, you are already at level seven, which meets the requirements for promotion to the advanced department. You can go and report whenever you have time."

Chen Nian felt quite reluctant to leave the people he knew in the lower grades, including Director Liu.

However, the thought of seeing Rika and Senior An in the senior class suddenly made it seem like a good idea.

"Okay, I'll let Director Liu know first. Is there anything else?"

The dean chuckled and said, "That's good news."

"It can be said that, looking at all the students in the history of the academy, you are the first to have such an honor."

"Is that outrageous? Dean, are you going to marry your illegitimate daughter to me?"

"screw you!"

The dean stood up and said in a deep voice, "The World Tree Academy was not founded by me, but by someone else. She sensed the existence of the calamity immediately, which is why she had the idea of ​​gathering elites from various worlds to resist it."

"She is the greatest contributor to the fight against disaster, and a true sage."

"Let's go, she wants to see you."
