Chapter 16: Divine Power Orb
This world is indeed dangerous and cruel.

Even if you just want to be an ordinary person and want to live an ordinary life, you need to do your best.

On every full-moon night, evil demons of any strength may descend upon the world and wreak havoc on the human race.

Every time after the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the casualties reported from all over the world are bloody facts.

"I hope to see you again after the fifteenth of this month." Li Yanzhu said in a deep voice.

The cheerful atmosphere in the classroom disappeared, leaving only dead silence.

Li Yanzhu gave the students enough time to reflect, and then said, "Team 98."

Jiang Ruyi and Deng Yutang stood up immediately.

As for why Lu Ran didn't stand up, it was because he was standing and didn't sit down at all.

Li Yanzhu took out three small red boxes and placed them on the podium: "In this assessment, your team ranked first in the school.

Here is your prize, come up and take it."

The trio immediately stepped out and walked towards the podium.

The school’s awards are distributed based on the team’s ranking.

Personal rankings are only rewarded with believer points, and for the rest, students can just go home and report to the gods.

For a believer, the recognition of God is undoubtedly the greatest compliment!

As for whether the gods will bestow blessings on you or are interested in giving you some advice, that is a matter between the two of you.

"Check it out." Li Yanzhu looked at Jiang Ruyi who came to the stage and her voice became much softer.

Jiang Ruyi picked up a small square box, opened it gently, and saw a precious pearl inside.

The pearl is only the size of a fingertip, and looks like a crystal product, but it is not particularly clear.

What is visible to the naked eye is that there is still a wisp of mist flowing inside the orb.

Divine power beads!
And judging from its size, it should be the Xipin Divine Power Pearl.

In this world, no matter the strength of the believers, the grade of the divine law, or the quality of the treasures, they are all evaluated by a set of evaluation systems:
Fog, stream, river, river, sea.

As a high school in a small county, Yuxiang No. 1 Middle School was doing quite well to be able to give out "Xipin" magical beads as rewards to students during their initial assessments.

It is worth mentioning that the quality of this treasure can be further improved.

It doesn’t mean that the divine power bead has the potential to grow.

Instead, Daxia has an exclusive welfare policy for novice believers.

During the summer vacation, as long as Lu Ran can complete the corresponding tasks, he can exchange his old one for a new one and get a higher grade divine power bead.

Li Yanzhu warned: "When you use this magic weapon to assist in the battle, you must not drain all the divine power in the bead.

Now, feel the total amount of divine power within the bead. This part of divine power is the basis for ensuring the normal operation of the divine power bead.

Unless you are facing a life-or-death situation, you must never kill the goose that lays the golden eggs! "

"Okay, teacher." Jiang Ruyi's fingers were slender and white, with the crystal beads pinched between her fingertips, admiring them carefully.

For a moment, Lu Ran couldn't tell whether Baozhu was more beautiful or her hands were more exquisite.

Well, everything is fine.
"You two, did you remember?" Li Yanzhu looked at Lu and Deng.

Lu Ran nodded immediately. He knew the characteristics of the divine power bead very well.

My father has more than one magical bead.

But on that full-moon night, all that remained of my father was a blood-stained knife.

It is said that all the magical beads hanging around my father's neck were shattered.

It is hard to imagine how brutal that battle was.

Of course, it is not ruled out that after the father's sacrifice, the evil demons sucked all the energy out of the orb and completely shattered it.

But Lu Ran would rather believe it is the former.

As strong-willed as my father was, he must have fought to exhaustion that night until he ran out of ammunition and food.

"Go back." Li Yanzhu encouraged, "Be careful not to be arrogant and keep working hard."

"Yes." Lu Ran closed the small square box and walked quickly to his seat.

The classmates all looked at him with envy.

You know, only the top ten teams will receive divine power beads as rewards!

As for other team students, they can only purchase the magic power beads privately.

The magic power beads circulating on the market are mostly the lowest grade, mist-grade magic power beads.

One Mist-grade Divine Power Pearl can only store the energy of 1 to 8 Mist-grade Demons, and the storage capacity is very small.

1枚溪品·神力珠则是能储存8~10只溪境·邪魔的能量，相当于80~100只雾境邪魔的能量！

What a difference is this?
What's even more terrifying is...
The Xipin Divine Power Pearl is already good enough, and as one of the top ten, Lu Ran can upgrade the quality of this Divine Power Pearl through summer missions!

What does it mean to be one step ahead, every step ahead?
As long as you feel comfortable, it’s all!
The question is coming:

The magic crystals exploded by the evil demon clan also have the effect of endurance. Why are people in the world obsessed with possessing the magic beads?

First of all, the divine power bead can drain the last bit of energy from the evil demon's body.

Take the corpse of the evil demon and vicious dog as an example. Only the magic power bead can suck the dog's corpse dry. Otherwise, it will just be a corpse.

Secondly, many demons have no physical form!
For example, the evil demon Yanzhiren.

She looks like a body of flesh and blood, but in fact her body is made up of pure energy. Killing the Yan Paper Man will not drop any magic crystals.

It can be understood that the body of the Yanzhi man is a "magic crystal".

However, you can't absorb it directly when she is alive. You have to collect the energy into the bead after crushing her.

"Now, I'll be busy during the summer vacation."

Lu Ran suppressed the joy in his heart, played with the small square box, and sat down on the seat.

He planned to find a jewelry store to have the magic bead processed after school so that he could wear it around his neck.

Before Lu Ran could sit down, Li Yanzhu told everyone to gather at the martial arts arena.

Her original words were: "The instructors who led your team during the assessment in the Devil Dog Village have all been invited to the school and are waiting in the martial arts arena.

You can consult the instructors for any problems you encounter in actual combat."

Hearing this, Lu Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Instructor Dou Zhiqiang is here?
So, when I go to the martial arts arena later, I will be able to see Wu Shanshan?

"Don't be impulsive when you meet your former teammates. If you have anything to say, talk it over nicely." Jiang Ruyi moved her arm and gently touched Lu Ran's elbow.

Lu Ran: “.”

I'm not an impulsive person.

I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I had a fight with Kou Yingquan.

"Did you hear that?" The girl looked at Lu Ran and tried to persuade him seriously.

Lu Ran pointed to the middle of the desk and said, "Hand, your hand has crossed the line." Jiang Ruyi was speechless.

Are you a primary school student?

Seeing that the girl didn't move, Lu Ran immediately reached out to grab it: "It's over here on my table, it's mine!"

Jiang Ruyi quickly retracted her white and tender palm.

She was a little annoyed and rolled her eyes at Lu Ran again. Just when she saw Lu Ran's elbow crossing the line, she immediately said, "You crossed the line too."

"Yes, yes, here you go." Lu Ran took the initiative to extend his hand, "If you like it, it's all yours."

"Who likes it?" Jiang Ruyi blushed, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and slapped Lu Ran on the arm.

"Crack~"

"Everyone, go to the martial arts arena now." Li Yanzhu's voice came again, "Team No. 98 stay!"

Jiang Ruyi immediately lowered his head, thinking that his little trick had been discovered, so the team was left behind.

For a moment, she felt furious and her teeth were itching because of Lu Ran's anger.

The students in the class stood up and left quickly.

It was not until the class was empty that Deng, Jiang and Lu, at the teacher's signal, gathered in front of the podium again.

"The school notified us that there are some adjustments to your team." Li Yanzhu looked at the three of them, "The school has listened to your wishes, and you three will not move for the time being."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruyi felt relieved, and Lu and Deng felt even more at ease.

Li Yanzhu advised: "It is normal for team members to change, don't have any other ideas.

Before the start of the senior year, it is the stage of forming and running-in teams. No team is fixed. "

"We know." Jiang Ruyi whispered, "Wu Shanshan also called me last night and explained it."

"what?"

Deng Yutang and Lu Ran looked at Squad Leader Jiang.

Li Yanzhu nodded and said: "Your grades are very good, and you have been listed as a key training target by the school. Many students want to join you.

After comprehensive consideration by the school, we have selected four candidate students for you. They belong to different gods, each with their own characteristics, and are all very suitable for your team.

Today and tomorrow, these four students will report to you and have tryouts at different times."

"Haha, that's right!" Deng Yutang laughed.

Lu Ran also became interested: "Am I a judge?"

Feeling a bit like Da Xia’s Good Voice?

If you want me to turn around, you have to offer some money~
Li Yanzhu looked at Jiang Ruyi and said, "Before 8 o'clock tomorrow night, you must unify the opinions of the team and choose a new teammate from the four candidates and report to me."

"Okay, Teacher Li."

"Go ahead." Li Yanzhu waved her hand, "Martial Arts Field No. 13."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Teacher Li."

The trio said goodbye to their homeroom teacher and left quickly, heading to the training ground located in the mountains on the north side of the school.

It is called a training ground, but in fact it is just a piece of cement ground surrounded by barbed wire, like a basketball court.

The difference is that there is no basketball hoop, only a weapon rack filled with various wooden weapons.

On the way, Deng Yutang asked curiously: "Squad leader, what did Wu Shanshan say to you?"

"She said that after discussing with her teachers and family, she felt that she was not a good fit for the team."

Jiang Ruyi said softly, and added: "She also wished us to become stronger and stronger and to continue to achieve good results."

"Heh." Deng Yutang snorted, "What's wrong with it?"

"There is one sentence that is quite true." Jiang Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "Wu Shanshan said that this is not her team."

"She wants to be the captain?" Deng Yutang looked strange.

If Wu Shanshan wanted to be a leader, instead of distrusting her teammates and having prejudice against Lu Ran,
Then Deng Yutang would really look up to the other person.

"I see the instructor." Lu Ran interrupted the two and pointed to the distance.

Through the barbed wire, several people saw a familiar figure.

I didn’t see Wu Shanshan, I guess she went there with a team.

"Instructor Dou!"

"Instructor." Several people quickened their pace and trotted into the venue.

Dou Zhiqiang said, "Time is running out. Let me first talk about some of the problems you encountered during the mission."

This soldier is really decisive and efficient.

Lu Ran raised his hand: "Instructor, I have a question, can you help me answer it first?"

"explain."

Lu Ran: "I've always wondered how I got 98 points?"

The score of this assessment is the result given by the army after the invigilating instructor reports it.

On the individual performance list given by the military, the second place only had 87 points, and Lu Ran was far ahead!
Dou Zhiqiang explained: "Your understanding and application of the Immortal Sheep Sect's magic is far beyond others."

Lu Ran: “Is that so?”

Dou Zhiqiang continued, "Due to your outstanding performance, your team has been reborn and has become the most powerful team against the vicious dog clan.

Your success rate has reached 100%, killing the enemy more efficiently and making you safer."

"Hehe~" Lu Ran smiled, "Look at what this has caused."

Dou Zhiqiang said with a cold face: "Do you have any other questions?"

Lu Ran: “.”

Why are you so fierce?
Dou Zhiqiang said coldly: "If you don't have any, I'll start talking."

Lu Ran raised his hand again.

Dou Zhiqiang frowned slightly: "Ask."

Lu Ran was indeed brave, and said, "Since I'm so good, where did my two points go?"

Dou Zhiqiang: ???

Deng Yutang was also a little confused: "Good fellow."

Jiang Ruyi was quick to reach out and grab Lu Ran's wrist, pressing down his raised hand:
"Instructor, please tell us our questions. Lu Ran has no more questions."

Lu Ran felt very uncomfortable.

Where is it? I have no doubt about it.
According to the instructor, even a full score can't stop me, I have to get 120 points!

　Thanks to the 100,000 yuan reward from the leader Xiaodaofengli. Thanks to my brother for his care and support. I wish my brother a smooth writing career, better and better writing, and a long way to go.
