Xu Luo was unaware of Zhong Tianyue's inner thoughts and the high-level school conflicts.
At this moment, he was merely commanding his Zerg army to charge repeatedly.
With several thousand Mountain Shaking Bugs as the spearhead, they directly pierced through the allied forces' defenses, then divided their army, allowing the Zerg army to devour them in batches.
Although Xiang Xuncai replenished his Dragon Blood Warriors with the same full armor after their previous loss, they still weren't Xu Luo's match. Especially this time, Xu Luo deployed more Zerg, including silver-tier Mountain Shaking Bugs, making it even harder for them.
"I admit defeat!"
Among all the classmates, only Wang Xiaoling was a bystander. Seeing no hope, as classmates were eliminated one by one, she straightforwardly admitted defeat.
She conceded after Xiang Xun was eliminated. Xiang Xun didn't even make it to the top five because Xu Luo deliberately left out a few others, intentionally pushing Xiang Xun out first.
After Xiang Xun was eliminated, the remaining ones didn't resist either, one by one admitting defeat.
"I admit defeat!"
"No more, no more, we can't beat him at all!"
"We give up, Xu Luo, you're too powerful. No need to fight anymore!"
Over forty people joined forces, yet they couldn't beat Xu Luo. Now, with only remnants, there's no point in continuing.
Besides the first prize, the rewards for second to fifth places were the same, so there was no need to compete further.
However, this infuriated Xiang Xun. He had united almost the entire class to attack Xu Luo, only to find himself not even in the top five.
He didn't care much about the rewards, not even the first prize. But being a direct descendant of the Xiang family and not even making it to the top five in the elite class was embarrassing!
But at this point, there was no way to change anything.
This time, he not only failed to prove his strength but also faced humiliation.
Not only did he not make it to the top five, but the five who had a chance were eliminated because of him, requiring consolation.
With everyone eliminated, only Xu Luo's troops remained on the battlefield.
[The final victor has been decided, the battle is over.]
[Calculating rankings, candidates please leave the game pods in an orderly manner!]
A mechanical voice announced, disconnecting Xu Luo from the battlefield.
Stepping out of the game pod, Xu Luo calmly joined the queue.
This time was just entertainment mode, with no damage or rewards. However, it gave him a clear understanding of his Zerg's combat power, especially the Mountain Shaking Bugs.
In future alien invasions, he could be more daring without being overly cautious.
This battle had already spread throughout the entire first year, and even some in the second and third years had heard about it.
After all, one person defeating the entire class was almost like a fantasy.
Yet, it was a real event before their eyes.
Many from commoner backgrounds idolized Xu Luo.
With his good looks, he was already popular among many female students.
In the combat arena, the rankings were now being announced.
Naturally, Xu Luo was the undisputed first place, while Wang Xiaoling became fourth, achieving a passive win without doing anything, just waiting for others to be eliminated.
If she had admitted defeat a bit later, she might have been second.
At this moment, the names of the first five eliminated were also announced.
Despite knowing their fate from the beginning, seeing it officially announced still felt disappointing.
Being expelled from the elite class meant losing resource support and access to many facilities.
More importantly, the shame of being expelled from the elite class was hard for teenagers to accept.
At this moment, Zhong Tianyue and others who had been watching stepped down from the high platform.
He was increasingly satisfied with Xu Luo.
"Alright, the results are out. Those in the elite class must strive harder. Those expelled, don't be discouraged. Aim to return next month!"
After some encouraging words, Zhong Tianyue signaled the logistics director to speak.
"Students, I believe you have no interest in lengthy speeches, so I'll get straight to the point."
The logistics director was straightforward, directly announcing the rewards.
"The alliance's rewards are incremental. The first place gets five million faith power from the Ministry of Education, and three million from our school, totaling eight million. Additionally, you can choose three items from the school's logistics store in the main city of the Divine Domain, including one rare item."
"Wow!"
Students were amazed at the school's generosity.
Though from noble families, they didn't disregard a million faith power.
Eight million faith power plus three items, including a rare one, was highly valuable. The rare item alone could be priceless.
Since the start of the school year, in two months, they had invested only one or two billion into their Divine Domains. Initially, family support was around a billion, with some extra from affluent families. But beyond that, they had to earn it themselves.
Family support wasn't endless; development required personal effort.
Gaining ten million at once could significantly boost their Divine Domains' development.
Many looked enviously at Xu Luo.
"Second to fifth places receive one million faith power each and can choose one item from the logistics department."
After announcing all the rewards, the leaders left.
Xu Luo became the center of attention, surrounded by classmates congratulating him.
Despite their noble backgrounds, they weren't yet as pragmatic as adults.
Xu Luo didn't act superior, understanding the value of good relationships over conflict.
"Xu Luo, congratulations! You were amazing!" one classmate said.
"Yeah, you really showed us how it's done," another added.
Xu Luo smiled modestly, "Thanks, everyone. It was a team effort."
He knew maintaining good relationships would be beneficial in the long run.
Meanwhile, Xiang Xun stood at the side, his face flushed with anger and embarrassment. He had been so confident, so sure of his plan. But now, he was left with nothing but defeat and humiliation.
Zhong Tianyue approached Xu Luo, "You did well, Xu Luo. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you, sir," Xu Luo replied respectfully.
As the crowd began to disperse, Xu Luo felt a sense of accomplishment. He had proven himself not just to his classmates, but to the entire school.
The rewards he received would undoubtedly give him a significant boost in his Divine Domain, and he was eager to see how far he could go.
As he walked back to his dorm, he couldn't help but think about the future. There would be more challenges, more battles, but he was ready.
Xu Luo knew he had the strength and determination to succeed. And with the support of his friends and allies, there was nothing he couldn't achieve.
The school might be just one stage, but it was an important one. It was where he would hone his skills, build his reputation, and prepare for the larger battles that awaited in the real world.
For now, he would enjoy his victory and the rewards that came with it. But he wouldn't rest on his laurels. There was always room for improvement, always a new challenge on the horizon.
And Xu Luo was ready to face them all head-on.
