Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

"Xu Luo, you're amazing!"

"Xu Luo, from now on, you're my idol!"

"Xu Luo, Xu Luo, look over here! I like you!"

***

On the way back, the students from No. 6 High School were clamoring excitedly.

The spectators who had come to watch the battle were leaving, each discussing the previous matchups.

In everyone's minds, one scene remained unforgettable.

That calm, almost cold youth who kept saying "next," on No. 1 High School's home turf, single-handedly defeated twenty students from No. 1 High School's first year, including Qianqian, who had been the most favored before the match.

Xu Luo had thus accomplished a remarkable feat. He alone had defeated an entire grade, earning not only one point for victory but also an additional ten bonus points, instantly becoming the current points leader.

No. 1 High School was in second place with two points.

Many No. 1 High School students were dissatisfied, believing that if Fang Shuo had gone on stage earlier, he too could have defeated an entire grade from No. 6 High School and earned ten bonus points.

However, other schools and spectators didn't share this view.

Fang Shuo was indeed formidable, but his victories against No. 6 High School's students had become increasingly difficult towards the end. If he had faced Li Dong's units in battle, he might not have been able to defeat everyone. And in a battle of Demi-Gods, the outcome against Li Dong at full strength would have been uncertain.

It's worth noting that when Fang Shuo took the stage, Li Dong had already defeated seven or eight students from No. 1 High School and was at the end of his strength, with no fighting power left.

If Fang Shuo had gone on stage at the beginning and faced Li Dong at full strength, he might have even lost.

Because everyone could see that while Fang Shuo's Demi-God strength wasn't weak, it couldn't be called particularly impressive either.

Regardless, No. 6 High School had the last laugh, becoming the temporary leader.

And Xu Luo's name was now remembered by everyone.

Especially his seemingly endless stream of units, which made many people wonder just how many troops he had at his disposal.

During battles, dead units don't respawn, which means he truly had that many troops.

Many clubs and powerful families mobilized their resources to inquire about him, intending to sign him to their clubs or invest in him. In the end, they were all greatly surprised.

Apart from the name Xu Luo, they couldn't find any information about this young man.

Whether it was his social interactions, food and clothing preferences, hobbies, parents, relatives, etc., everything seemed non-existent.

Realizing what this situation meant, these people all stopped their actions.

Disappointed but also resigned, they should have understood earlier that someone who could defeat Qianqian must be special.

Only a higher-level seed could defeat another seed.

It's just that all along, No. 1 High School had attracted the most talented students from Tianhai City and even nearby cities. No one expected that this time, the most impressive one wouldn't be at No. 1 High School.

Some people prepared to watch the show, curious to see how far this young man could go.

Hearing the compliments from his classmates around him, Xu Luo felt nothing. Having witnessed the great battle where numerous alien geniuses besieged Ying Yinglo, defeating a group of first-year high school students wasn't particularly praiseworthy.

His current priority was to secure first place in the individual competition to earn a spot, then to gain as many points as possible in the points competition. Only in this way could he improve No. 6 High School's ranking and repay Zhong Tianyue's care for him.

Moreover, with the school's improved ranking, the education department's funding would increase, which would be beneficial for the elite class students, allowing them to receive more resources.

Today was the opening ceremony, so a lot of time was spent on the entrance procession at the beginning. Therefore, only one points match was played today. Tomorrow would be different.

Schools would battle against each other, with each school engaging in one match per day.

At the same time, individual matches would be conducted simultaneously.

Because it was the preliminary round, the progress was very fast.

The main competition consisted of three parts: units, followers, and Demi-God form!

The highest scorers in these three areas would advance.

In the first preliminary round, only two hundred people from each grade would advance, with nearly half being eliminated. Ten highest scorers from among the losers would be selected to advance, making up the two hundred, who would then face off against each other.

The entire competition would last for over a month, testing various aspects such as physical strength, endurance, and more.

Moreover, during this month-long period, one couldn't view others with old perspectives. Everyone would make rapid progress during this time.

"Hey, look over there! Isn't that the Starving Dragon Boy?" Walking along the road, Cha Lei, who was looking around, couldn't help but excitedly call out when he saw an image appear on a projection screen hanging on a nearby high-rise building.

"Where? Where?" Hearing this name, everyone, including Huang Yulong, looked up and around.

That was the famous Starving Dragon Boy, an absolute celebrity!

However, upon realizing it was just a wall advertisement, the group disappointedly looked away.

They had thought they might see the real person.

Xu Luo also curiously looked at the young man who seemed to have a face like a bitter melon.

The former boy had now become a young man, but when people mentioned him, they always thought of his "great achievements"!

Wang Delong could definitely be called a chosen one.

He was also a person with great luck.

With "dragon" in his name, he himself was also fated with dragons. At the beginning, while others started with various biological companions, he was an exception.

Because Wang Delong's starting species was just a single dragon egg.

When his school learned that he had started with a dragon egg, they were overjoyed. They immediately designated him as a seed student and even gave him rewards in advance, all to help him hatch the dragon egg.

After receiving resource support, Wang Delong exchanged various resources and finally managed to hatch the dragon egg just before going bankrupt.

After the dragon egg hatched, it turned out to be a white dragon.

This result made Wang Delong both happy and worried.

As one of the five chromatic dragons, the white dragon was very powerful, and because he had hatched it himself, it was easy to subdue.

Starting with a giant dragon that was also his fanatical follower, once the white dragon was cultivated to be powerful, the faith power it provided daily would be no small amount.

But the worry was that the newborn white dragon was extremely picky about food, eating only the finest gold and jade essence and drinking only jade dragon liquid.

Wang Delong, who had already nearly gone bankrupt to hatch the egg, naturally couldn't afford to feed such a precious creature, so he had to seek help from the school.

These two items were very hard to find on the market, and the school naturally didn't have them either. They could only apply to the local education department.

The application went up level by level, and even with special treatment and all procedures simplified, they only managed to find one portion of jade dragon liquid. By the time it reached Wang Delong's hands, three days had passed in reality, and the white dragon had already starved to death.

From then on, Wang Delong was known as the Starving Dragon Boy.

He was also the only person forbidden by Dragon Island to raise dragons.

Wang Delong's story wasn't just about starving a white dragon to death; there were many stories about him online.

Anyway, Xu Luo only needed to know that this was a human genius who was very powerful.

When he had helped Ying Yinglo before, Xu Luo had actually seen Wang Delong, but only through the perspective of a Xenomorph, just a fleeting glimpse, not very clearly.

At that time, the sight of Wang Delong arriving on dragonback was quite impactful.

Seeing Wang Delong's advertisement was just an interlude. The group continued walking towards their respective modes of transportation, or simply went to take the city's rail transit.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Just as Xu Luo was walking, Wang Xiaoling suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Xu Luo stopped, somewhat puzzled.

"Look over there." Wang Xiaoling secretly pointed to the right while lowering her head.

"What is it?" Looking in the direction she pointed, Xu Luo was confused.

"People from No. 16 High School, what about them?"

"Look at the tallest one!" Wang Xiaoling's voice was low, her cheeks flushed as if she were drunk.

Xu Luo still didn't understand her meaning. Looking over, he saw a rather ordinary-looking young man. If there was anything different, it was that this young man was built like a bear, very sturdy. With his crew cut, he looked very energetic, and his thin clothes couldn't hide his well-developed chest muscles.

"Nice physique," Xu Luo sincerely praised, and then said nothing more.

"Huh?" Wang Xiaoling had been hoping to hear him say something more, but didn't expect just this one sentence with no follow-up.

"What else did you want me to say?" Xu Luo was confused about why Wang Xiaoling wanted him to look at this young man.

At this moment, the students from No. 16 High School happened to look over. That young man saw Xu Luo and couldn't help but frown slightly, though he quickly relaxed his expression, and no one noticed.

"Old Xu, this is where you're wrong!" Cha Lei chuckled.

"Xiaoling means she's interested in that guy and wants us to help make a connection."

"Huh?" Xu Luo was dumbfounded.

So that was what she meant?

Wang Xiaoling liked muscular men, he had always thought it was a joke, just someone talking big, but now it was true?

And she fell for him just like that?

This pace was too fast; honestly, Xu Luo couldn't quite react.

"You wait here!" Cha Lei, quick to react, ran directly towards the group from No. 16 High School.

Watching Cha Lei talk with that young man, Wang Xiaoling nervously fidgeted with the corner of Xu Luo's clothes.

Looking at this young girl experiencing her first love, Xu Luo was truly speechless. He could understand her nervous feelings, but if she wanted to fidget with a clothes corner, couldn't she fidget with her own?

He was really a bit worried she might pinch him directly.

Moreover, to be honest, Xu Luo didn't understand or comprehend Wang Xiaoling's aesthetic taste.

"Do you think he already has a girlfriend?" Wang Xiaoling seemed a bit uncertain.

The feeling came too fast, like a tornado.

Just one look, and she had fallen for that young man in the crowd.

Although his face was still a bit young and not so handsome, she never liked people based on their looks.

His tall stature and solid muscles were already very attractive.

"Didn't San Shi already go over? Just wait for him to come back." Xu Luo didn't want to deceive her or comfort her, to avoid giving her any wrong impressions. At this time, it was best not to provoke girls, otherwise, if something happened later, it would be hard to resolve.

What if he said the guy didn't have a girlfriend, but he actually did?

What if he said he had a girlfriend, but when Cha Lei came back, he said he didn't? So the best way was to just wait and see what he would say.

Wang Xiaoling was probably the bravest girl in love that Xu Luo had ever seen.

Before, she had loudly proclaimed that she liked muscular men.

Now, encountering someone she liked, although she appeared shy, she didn't hesitate to speak up.

The two didn't have to wait long before Cha Lei came jogging back.

"How was it? How was it?" Wang Xiaoling anxiously inquired.

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Sis, who asks that on their first meeting?" Cha Lei almost spat out a mouthful of water.

"I just went over to say I wanted to get to know him, maybe play basketball together sometime, and that I had a friend who wanted to meet him, asking if we could exchange contact information."

"Oh, I see." Not getting the answer she wanted, Wang Xiaoling looked a bit disappointed, no longer showing her usual shrewd demeanor.

Love truly makes one blind, even lowering intelligence.

Xu Luo quickly warned himself in his heart that he must learn from this and be cautious.

It's not that people can't have feelings, but they shouldn't be so blind!

A heart without women, drawing the sword naturally divine, The first page of the sword manual, forget the beloved!

After reciting the scripture in his heart, Xu Luo calmed his emotions.

"That guy's name is Xu Chengzhi. He's not from our Tianhai, but just transferred from somewhere else. That's why I didn't know about him before. I just asked around the No. 16 High School group, and it seems he's the top student in the second year. After transferring, he subdued all the second-year students. Both in God's Domain and in reality, he literally beat them into submission, as the phrase goes."

Cha Lei briefly introduced Xu Chengzhi's situation.

"Come to think of it, he shares the same surname as you, Old Xu. When I saw him, I thought you two looked a bit alike, except you're more handsome, Old Xu."

"He's that impressive?" Hearing that Xu Chengzhi was so formidable, Wang Xiaoling's eyes were practically turning into little stars.

Xu Luo and Cha Lei exchanged glances, feeling that this person was beyond help.

Shouldn't normal girls be disgusted when hearing about boys fighting?

And just as the two were exchanging glances, they suddenly saw Wang Xiaoling, unable to contain her excited heart, run over to Xu Chengzhi.

Seeing a pretty girl run up to him, Xu Chengzhi was also startled. With no experience in dealing with girls, he, along with the girl who became flustered in front of someone she liked, both stammered as they spoke. This made the onlookers, Xu Luo and Cha Lei, wish they had some sunflower seeds to munch on while watching.

Watching the two stumble through their conversation, finally managing to exchange contact information, Xu Luo and Cha Lei were sensible enough not to be third wheels and simply slipped away.

When Wang Xiaoling's intelligence finally came back online and she wanted to find the two, she was surprised to discover that they had long since disappeared without a trace.

Angry, she cursed the two unfaithful friends for running off without calling her.

However, thinking about successfully mustering the courage to get Xu Chengzhi's contact information, she was still very happy.

As a daughter of the Wang family, she didn't have too many constraints, so when she saw someone she liked, she could bravely pursue them without too many worries.
