I will eventually become a divine being through accumulating constantly-Chapter 606 - 335

"Mr. Xue, it’s done!"

A moment later, the students began to speak one after another.

Hearing this, Xue Jing pressed twice on the white bracelet on his hand, and information appeared on it.

[Current Class Squad Number: 1 (Click to view)]

After clicking on it, the names of all the members of the squad were displayed.

[Cao Sini, Chen Xingyan, Yuan Baijing, Zhao Longtu...]

The entire class, thirty-one students, all their names were included!

"Everyone in the same squad, sharing both honor and damage... this is really a bold gamble, Mr. Xue! I’m pumped up!"

He Han said with an inexplicably passionate expression.

"Either we all fall together, or we all rise to heaven... I didn’t expect everyone to actually agree to this. It’s an exam that concerns our future, didn’t anyone consider it?"

"There’s nothing to consider, I trust Mr. Xue!"

"Yes, I trust Mr. Xue, he can definitely lead us to good grades!"

"Either we all die together, or we all enjoy together!"

Most of the students shouted and cheered.

For them, their own levels weren’t very outstanding, and whether they could achieve good grades in the Martial Arts Examination was uncertain... Forming one squad with powerful individuals like Cao Sini, Zhao Longtu, and Yuan Baijing was a profitable move... although having too many members in the squad added risk, overall, it was still worth it.

Considering such benefits, and the past three days of interaction had also made them emotionally inclined to support this plan... especially since it was a strategy decided by Mr. Xue.

The students, who almost worshipped Xue Jing like a deity, had already decided to follow Xue Jing’s orders before even thinking about the benefits.

Xue Jing, seeing the cheering students, showed a smile and spoke gently:

"You have chosen to trust me, now it’s my turn to respond to your trust."

He stood up, walked into the midst of the students, spread his arms and placed them on Cao Sini and Zhao Longtu’s shoulders, looked around at everyone and spoke softly:

"There are too many uncertain factors in the final results of the exam, I find it hard to make promises to you... but there is one thing I can assure you of."

"Trust me."

"I won’t let any of you die, I will definitely protect all of you."

"Everyone... will leave this place safely, there will be no accidents."

The students were deeply moved: "Mr. Xue..."

Cao Sini’s gaze softened as she looked at Xue Jing’s empathetic expression.

Zhao Longtu seemed touched, with a fierce expression that had grown more complex.

Xue Jing, seeing the students who seemed to have swallowed a tranquillizer, smiled and nodded reassuringly.

Getting everyone to unite under one strategy was actually an unwise choice in such a large-scale, complicated examination involving hundreds of people.

Firstly, there was inevitably the issue of students lacking strength who could drag the team down. In tasks where team points had to be divided among everyone, it would only lower the total score of strong students. Additionally, there were mandatory movement tasks where failing to complete would result in the larger squads losing more points.

The most fatal issue lay outside the rules...

The cruelest part of the exam wasn’t written in the rules but was a more fundamental issue—food and water.

Each person could only carry a limited amount of supplies into the field, and to gain more food, more energy to defeat more people for more points, a fierce battle for supplies was inevitable.

And having thirty-one people in a squad, not only did it terrifyingly speed up the consumption of supplies, but the large number also meant reduced mobility, which would put them at a great disadvantage in the scramble for supplies.

But this point was precisely what Xue Jing could perfectly resolve, and it was the fundamental reason he decided to proceed with the audacious strategy.

No more pretending, he activated it.

The Nonexistent Beast had an upper limit capacity of over nine hundred cubic meters, which by now was stuffed with various survival supplies... Not to mention seven days, he could ensure that all students were well-fed daily for seventy days, and they could even throw banquets every day.

And... the areas where he could cheat might not be limited to supplies.

"... I’ll go check the surroundings first, all of you stay here, don’t move."

Xue Jing spoke up.

The students immediately laughed, "Ah, don’t think we don’t understand, Mr. Xue, you’re taking advantage of us!"

"It’s also pretty nice… I really want to call Mr. Xue dad." A female student said, her eyes filled with longing.

Xue Jing just smiled, ignored the students’ teasing, and in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

...

The leaden sky was slightly dim, with no trace of the sun visible in the sky, leaving one completely puzzled as to where the light in the Steel Tree Sea came from.

Xue Jing stopped under a silver-gray metallic tree that was over ten meters tall, knocked on the trunk, and produced a dull clang of metal hitting metal.

"This solidity... looks good," Xue Jing nodded.

Then he placed his palm on the trunk, the cold metal feel came through, and Xue Jing had a thought.

Plant Pact, activate!

Since he had formed a pact with the Dragon Cherry on the True Dragon cub’s head at the Roaring Waterfall, Xue Jing had not signed a new pact with any other plants.

Because the Dragon Cherry itself was already powerful enough, not only was its strength far superior to ordinary plants, but it also had the ability to absorb and release life force. Ordinary plants were completely unnecessary for him and signing them would be superfluous.

But now, the plant in front of him was no ordinary...

Specialty of Steel Tree Sea—Iron-based plants!

Made entirely of metals, its existence was remarkable... not to mention how strong it specifically was, just the fact that it was a metal plant was reason enough for Xue Jing to value it.

The only problem was, he didn’t know if he could succeed.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

[Plant Pact], after all, was a skill activated from the Blessed One of the Master of Thousand Red and Ten Thousand Beauties, a Heretic God said to have been born from the essence of ’water’ and ’earth,’ the root of all flowers and plants.

And these iron-based plants... it was even hard to say if they counted as ’plants’ at all.

Fortunately, after Xue Jing activated the Plant Pact, he felt no resistance.

On this silver-gray metallic tree, a coin-sized intricate pattern appeared in an instant, resembling a tiny magic array.

Pact successful.

"Hmm? It actually worked?"

Xue Jing was slightly surprised.

This was too smooth... it turns out iron-based plants really are plants.

He slightly moved his fingers, and the silver-gray metallic tree immediately responded, making clacking metallic twisting sounds as it gradually curled up, pulling its metal roots out of the Steel Land with crisp snaps. The dense sharp metal leaves fell off like thousands of blades, raining down a shower of steel.

In just a few seconds, the entire metallic tree had transformed into a fist-sized silver-gray seed, looking like a piece of fitness equipment meant for special training.

"Interesting." Xue Jing held the seed in his hand, tossed it and felt its significant weight, at least seventy or eighty kilograms. Continue your adventure at novelbuddy

In the void beside him, an invisible crack opened, Xue Jing stuffed the metal seed into it, and the crack closed.

"There’s much more to be done now..."

Xue Jing stroked his chin and chuckled lightly.

The examiners of this joint examination faced significant restrictions.

They were responsible for leading the students, instructing them, and even protecting them.

There were only two situations where examiners could intervene in matters concerning students.

One was when a student encountered a high-level creature from the Intersecting Boundaries that they clearly couldn’t handle, the examiner could step in to protect the student.

The other was when it was judged that a student couldn’t continue the exam, the examiner could protect the student.

The first case was an accidental situation and was permitted; in the second case, once an examiner intervened, regardless of the student’s opinion, that student would be pulled out of the examination early and considered ’defeated.’

And now...

It was the tree that went crazy on its own, I didn’t do anything.
