In the blink of an eye, several days passed in the Divine Realm.
Heeding the prior Oracle from the Lord of Elves,
all the Wood Elves began preparing for war under the leadership of their Queen, An Nobel.
They gathered growing vines, soaked them in water, and air-dried them to craft Vine Armor.
They collected straight tree trunks, roasting them over charcoal to bake out moisture and increase their hardness, then fashioned them into Wooden Spears.
They harvested resilient tree branches, lightly cured them with fire, and strung them with wolf and ox sinew to create Wooden Bows.
They collected pheasant feathers to make Arrows!
...
Meanwhile, Zhang Yi had already left his Divine Realm and returned to the school located in the Subspace.
The other students in his class had also left their Divine Realms, returning to the classroom at the same time as him.
"Alright. Today, the Divine Realm planning instructor, Teacher Xu, and I have observed all of your Divine Realms."
"Frankly, every single one of your Divine Realms has major problems!"
"Let's start with you—Li Boyang!"
"Your awakened Clan is the Green-skinned Lizardmen. The trial from the Blue Star Will was a drought, yet you just had to give reckless orders, making them search for water during the day. Couldn't they have searched at night?"
"Then, you didn't even dispose of the bodies of the Green-skinned Lizardmen who died, just leaving them out in the open. As a result, it caused a cholera outbreak!"
"It was a cholera outbreak that shouldn't have been fatal to the Green-skinned Lizardmen, but because of your reckless orders and the water shortage, they started vomiting and having diarrhea, and literally died of thirst!"
"It's clear you haven't been studying seriously at all.
How to handle a situation like this—
didn't you learn this in your first-year theory classes?"
"In the end, you had to use your one-per-month Divine Card slot to load a water resource just to save the Green-skinned Lizardman clan!"
"Watching your 'performance' made my skin crawl!"
"Let me tell you, Li Boyang, don't get all smug just because you have a Weak Divine Being as an ancestor in your family!"
"Completely disregarding theoretical knowledge!"
The first person their homeroom teacher, Guo Aiqing, called out was Li Boyang.
Truth be told,
if Li Boyang had done nothing at all, the situation in his Divine Realm would have actually been better, and not as many of his Clan members would have died.
In the end, just to keep his Clan in the Divine Realm from being completely wiped out,
he was forced to waste his precious, once-a-month opportunity to load a Divine Card on a water resource.
"And you, Chen Huawei!"
"Your awakened Clan is the Foxman Clan. Faced with a harsh winter where snow blocked the mountains, they could have dug for plant roots or nuts to survive,
but you just had to insist on hunting hibernating black bears."
"You managed to hunt a black bear, yes, but you didn't expect to find two of them in the cave—a male and a female.
So many Foxmen were killed or injured!"
"Then, because of a lack of medicine, the injured Foxmen's conditions worsened, and they ended up starving to death in the harsh winter!"
"Li Boyang and Chen Huawei, the two of you are truly the 'geniuses' of our class!"
Homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing's voice was anything but quiet; everyone in the class heard her loud and clear.
After hearing their teacher point out their flaws,
Chen Huawei humbly lowered his head.
But Li Boyang's face flushed with anger, and he retorted,
"That was an accident!"
"Besides, the water resource I loaded wasn't just any ordinary water resource. It was a Five-star Building Card—the Well of Life!"
"The Effect of the Well of Life isn't just providing an abundant water source! It can also boost Life Force and cure common diseases!"
"So, you could say that even though I made some mistakes at the beginning, I managed to save the situation in time!"
It would have been better if Li Boyang hadn't talked back. The moment he did, Guo Aiqing's face flushed with anger, and her voice rose several decibels:
"What do you mean, 'saved the situation'?"
"Did your dead Clan members come back to life?"
"If it weren't for your family's resources, if your doting parents hadn't traded for a Five-star Building Card—the Well of Life—for you,
how many of your remaining Clan, the Green-skinned Lizardmen, would even be left alive?"
"Forget about the class placement assessment at the end of next month,
what about the placement test the day after tomorrow? Are you even going to participate in that?!"
Li Boyang, who had been about to retort, fell silent after hearing his teacher's words. He sat in his seat without saying another word.
After she finished speaking, the homeroom teacher's sharp gaze swept over the other students in the class.
"Does anyone else want to be like Li Boyang and force me to spell out every single flaw in your Divine Realm?"
The entire classroom was dead silent. Not a single student dared to speak.
After a minute, homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing spoke again.
"Of course, it's not like we don't have students in our class who performed quite well."
"Take Zhang Yi, for example. He did a great job when facing the trial from the Blue Star Will."
"When faced with mountains blocked by heavy snow, he had all the Wood Elves gather together.
By loading a Resource Card—plant seeds—he solved the food shortage problem in his territory once and for all!"
"To face the end-of-month assessment next month, he just needs to have his Clan in his Divine Realm prepare for it."
"There's a high probability his placement test scores will be in the top three of our class!"
"Therefore, I hope all of you can learn from Zhang Yi!"
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
A continuous round of applause erupted in the classroom.
As for how many people actually took it to heart, that was another matter entirely.
After homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing finished calling on every student in the class and pointing out the flaws in their Divine Realms,
most of them felt they now understood the areas where their Divine Realms needed improvement.
Only a very few had their minds elsewhere.
DING DING DING!
The bell to end the school day rang.
At the sound, homeroom teacher Guo Aiqing didn't keep the students in her class any longer.
After all, the placement test was this Sunday.
Whether they worked hard these next few days or not would all be revealed then!
"Hey Zhang Yi, should I wait for you? We can head home together."
Sima Yuan called out to Zhang Yi.
He knew the homeroom teacher wanted to see Zhang Yi after school, so he asked if he should wait.
"Nah, I'll go back by myself tonight. You go on ahead!"
Zhang Yi thought about it; given his friendship with Sima Yuan, it was better this way.
"Alright, I'll head back first then. If anything comes up, contact me on the Ten Thousand Realms Divine Net."
"Okay."
Afterward, Zhang Yi navigated the familiar path to the homeroom teacher's office.
Previously, Zhang Yi's theory grades were excellent, so he often came to the homeroom teacher's office to help out and had even served as the class president for a time.
This evening after school, because he had talked with Sima Yuan for a bit, he was slightly late.
So when Zhang Yi arrived at the office, Shen Mengting was already there.
