Global Deities: Rising as Wood Elves' God

Most students were able to pass the first three rounds of the trial,

but starting with the fourth round, the difficulty surged dramatically!

The difficulty of the fourth round was equivalent to the first three combined, and then some.

As a result, many students who felt their Divine Realms were developing rather well were met with a crushing blow in the fourth round.

These were students who had passed the first three rounds smoothly, retaining most of their Clan’s strength despite some losses, and who believed they had a shot at getting into the honors classes.

Suddenly, in the fourth round’s assessment, they were met with a crushing defeat!

Many students were eliminated precisely because of this fourth round.

Their names became frozen on the rankings displayed by the Celestial Gaze Mirror, no longer climbing any higher.

According to the school’s design, the fourth round served as a screening process.

Those who passed were qualified to enter the semi-honors classes and be cultivated by the school,

while those who failed could only enter the regular classes.

Of course, Golden City No.1 Middle School was one of the top schools in the entire Golden City, boasting abundant resources.

Even students from its regular classes could rival those in the semi-honors classes of other ordinary high schools.

In Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm, the invading Clan for the fourth trial had also arrived—the Werewolf Clan!

The number of Werewolves that emerged from the black Teleportation Gate

was greater than the total population of all the Clans in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm combined.

A total of 400 members of the Werewolf Clan marched out of the black Teleportation Gate!

"AWOOO—!"

Following a long wolf howl, 400 Wolfman Warriors stepped out of the Teleportation Gate, their crimson eyes gleaming in the darkness.

Unlike the disorganized invaders of the first three rounds,

this Werewolf Army was strictly disciplined with orderly formations, the very picture of a true army!

"Form up!"

The leading Wolfman Commander gave a low roar, and the Wolfman Warriors quickly split into three parts.

The front rank was 200 Wolfman Warriors, holding Wooden Shields and Long Spears, covered in Vine Armor, clearly specialized to block ranged attacks.

The middle rank was 100 Werewolf Hunters, holding poisoned Short Spears, with Flying Axes for throwing hanging at their waists, ready to launch a fatal strike at medium range.

The rear rank consisted of 50 Wolfman Cavalry, each mounted on a colossal wolf standing nearly two meters tall.

One could tell just from their appearance that the giant wolves the Wolfman Cavalry rode also possessed immense combat power!

’This is trouble...’ Zhang Yi’s brow furrowed.

Although the invaders in the first three rounds were numerous, they all charged mindlessly and were easily reaped by the Wood Elves’ Magic and rain of arrows.

But this round’s Werewolf Army actually understood tactical coordination!

The difficulty instantly shot up a notch!

’No wonder passing the fourth round gets you into the semi-honors classes. There’s a reason for this.’

Zhang Yi suddenly understood the reason for the fourth round’s sharp increase in difficulty.

"ROAR—!"

The Wolfman Commander roared at the sky, and a huge red halo enveloped the entire army. The Werewolves’ muscles bulged, their eyes turned completely blood-red, and they entered a Frenzy state!

"Full advance!"

Wolfman Warriors raised their Wooden Shields and marched forward in unison.

The Werewolf Hunters in the middle rank followed close behind, ready to throw their Short Spears and Flying Axes at any moment.

The Wood Elves’ arrow rain whistled over, but this time,

"CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!"

Although the vast majority of the arrows were blocked by the Wooden Shields,

a small number of arrows made of Refined Iron still penetrated the Wooden Shields, struck the Werewolves, and were finally stopped by the Vine Armor on their bodies.

Even so, the arrows made of Refined Iron still managed to deal effective damage to quite a few Werewolves.

Meanwhile, in other Divine Realms, many Clans were still using wooden arrows.

It was impossible to pass the fourth trial relying on wooden arrows; their only hope would be to engage in close combat!

Seeing that three volleys of arrows had only resulted in twenty-some Werewolves being seriously injured and forced to retreat from the battlefield,

Feiyana couldn’t help but remark:

"The situation isn’t looking good. This pack of Werewolves is too smart compared to the invading Clans from the first three rounds!"

"And their defense is flawless!"

In previous rounds, volleys of arrows alone had been enough to defeat the invading enemies.

This round, however, the arrows failed to inflict as much damage as Feiyana had expected, causing her to grow concerned.

As the overall commander for this battle, the pressure on Feiyana was naturally immense!

However, as powerful as the Werewolves seemed, there were still ways to fight them.

After all, they still had trump cards to play: Zhang Yi’s two years’ worth of untouched Faith Value, and the Natural Elf Corps, which had yet to cast any Attack Magic.

"All Wood Elf Archers, three-stage volley!"

The Werewolf Clan’s advance, although steady, was much slower compared to the mindless charges of the previous three rounds.

Therefore, Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s command for a three-stage volley was a wise one!

While the Werewolf Clan was still over 600 meters away, all the Wood Elves raised their bows and fired in high arcs.

"WHOOSH— WHOOSH— WHOOSH—"

The Wood Elves’ three-stage volley carved three deadly arcs through the air, the rain of arrows blanketing the Werewolf Army’s path.

"Shields up!" the Wolfman Commander roared.

The 200 Vine Armor Warriors in the front rank instantly formed a Turtle Shell Array, their Wooden Shields overlapping to create an impenetrable defensive wall.

The arrows hammered against the shields with a sound like a torrential downpour.

Many of the Wooden Shields, having endured two volleys of Iron Arrows, suddenly shattered into splinters.

A small number of arrows slipped through the gaps between the shields, hitting the Wolfman Warriors and inflicting serious injuries.

However, the Werewolf Army didn’t retreat an inch.

As the front rank of Werewolf Warriors continued to advance, the distance between the two armies closed to a mere 400 meters.

"Javelins, ready!"

The Werewolf Hunters in the middle rank suddenly leaned out from the gaps in the shield wall.

"Throw!"

A hundred poisoned Short Spears came whistling through the air.

The Wood Elves hurriedly dodged.

Because the distance was so great, only about a tenth of the javelins could reach them.

They were quickly blocked by the front-rank Wood Elf Warriors, who used their Iron Shields to deflect the poisoned javelins.

In truth, the Werewolf Clan’s javelin volley was merely a diversion.

The truly intense head-on clash was about to begin!

"Wolfman Cavalry, charge!"

The front-rank Wolfman Warriors and Werewolf Hunters immediately parted to the left and right, opening a path down the middle.

Fifty giant wolves let out earth-shaking roars, carrying the Werewolves on their backs as they charged out like lightning.

At a distance of over three hundred meters, once these Wolfman Cavalry got up to speed, it would only be a matter of ten seconds before they reached the Wood Elf Warriors.

"All Wood Elf Archers, fire in rotations!"

"Mage Corps, prepare to cast!"

Feiyana’s commands carried a hint of urgency.

All the Wood Elves and Natural Elves who heard the command immediately sprang into action.

The Wood Elf Archers were still in three ranks; the close-range shooting made the arrow rain come down like a torrential storm.

The agility of the giant wolves was also beyond imagination.

Weaving left and right,

they blocked any arrows they couldn’t dodge with the small wooden shields they carried.

But if they failed to dodge or block,

it meant instant death for both the Wolfman Cavalry and their giant wolves!
