God of Internet
Chapter 21: Good News

"Starting the test as a rank 2 embryonic god is a great advantage, it's as if the young god has 5% more ease in passing the test compared to the other gods". One of the teachers said in the middle of the conversation.

"Yes, but although that 5% is a significant advantage, it is not all, after all, a student with a score of 90 who has a 5% advantage in the test would not be able to beat a student with a score of 98, even with the rank advantage. Another teacher also commented.

The principals just watched the teachers' conversation with interest, but had no intention of interrupting.

Everyone in the room had already passed the test that the young gods were taking now, some starting as Rank 3 ED (Embryonic Deity), others as Rank 2 ED, some even as Rank 1 ED, so they were aware that it was a real advantage to start the test with higher ranks, but it wasn't a determining factor in the result either.

It's not like they were going to stop students from using their relatives' worlds to get believers and rank up.

So it was just a matter of bad luck for those young gods who didn't have access to other small worlds, but no one was going to do anything about it.

Suddenly, in the middle of the teachers' discussion, everyone fell silent in astonishment.

"Has anyone ever managed to break through from a rank 1 embryonic god to rank 2 already?" One of the directors was shocked when he noticed energy leaking from one of the students' booths.

If it had been other students who were also Embryonic Divinities, hardly anyone would have noticed this little bit of Divine Power leaking out of one of the booths, but as one of the principals of the school, Abraham clearly sensed this Divine Power and even what rank the person leaking this Divine Power was.

The other teachers and principals also noticed it with astonishment in their eyes.

"Could it be young Lucy Wavecrest who has risen in rank?" Dillon, Adrian's teacher, said in surprise.

"It's most likely her." The other teachers agreed with Dillon's hypothesis.

But the principals didn't agree.

Because they had a higher deity rank, they could sense from the divine power that was coming out that this divine power wasn't from a deity related to the ocean.

The feeling of this divine power was completely different from what they had felt before.

Although it was surprising, the teachers wanted to finish their discussion before they found out who had ascended.

But just 10 minutes later another sensation surprised the teachers.

"Someone else has risen from a Rank 2 Embryonic Divinity to Rank 3?" Dillon said in shock.

"Who did that?" Another teacher asked in shock.

In the class taking the test, there were only a few students who started the test as a Rank 2 ED, so the number of possible students who could have achieved this was very small.

But one line from Aubrie, the only female principal, shocked everyone.

"This promotion from Rank 2 to Rank 3 is from the same young god who just went from Rank 1 to Rank 2..." She said with a serious voice.

Upon hearing this, the other teachers were shocked.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

"A rank 1 student just jumped to rank 3 in only three days of testing, Lady Spearstrike?" One of the teachers asked in shock.

With a furrowed brow, Aubrie just nodded, trying to figure out who the young god was who had accomplished this feat.

Taking control of the testing equipment, she finally learned where those two waves of Divine Power had come from, and to the surprise of not only her, but all the other Gods in the room, the student taking the test in the booth who had that surge of Divine Power was Adrian Innovashine, the God of Creativity!

Seeing this name, the faces of the teachers were completely shocked, while the faintest hint of a smile appeared on Aubrie's face.

"Even though he's advanced two ranks, his Divine Power affinity may only have improved from 2 to 10%, which still represents an enormous difficulty in reducing the amount of Divine Power used in his attacks..." One of the teachers sighed.

Upon hearing this, the other teachers also sighed.

After all, even if he had reached 10% Divine Power affinity, he would still use 90% more Divine Power to perform the same attack as a rank 1 Embryonic Divinity...

But Aubrie wasn't disappointed, just the fact that he was able to accumulate 30,000 Divine Power points in 3 days, or 6 days in the mortal world, showed that the young Innovashine had great potential.

So what if he used 90% more Divine Power than a rank 1 ED, wouldn't he gain several times more Divine Power in the same amount of time?

But Aubrie didn't say anything and just sat quietly as she watched the teachers discuss.

There was just one thing that caught her attention... First Sergeant Dillon was very keen to reassure the teachers that the probability of young Zack Gale winning this test was very high... something very unusual for a teacher who should theoretically be impartial...

- Adrian's POV -

It took me a few hours to get used to my new power...

Improving my efficiency in using Divine Power was the most important factor for the current test in the mortal world.

Both in terms of how powerful my attacks were now, how much more powerful my blessings could be, and the cost of maintaining the Internet for mortals had been slightly reduced.

But these were only the changes that my consciousness in the mortal world could feel, my divine body in the divine world had also undergone changes.

When I jumped from Rank 1 to Rank 2, I didn't realize how much these changes affected me, but jumping to Rank 3 in a few minutes made this change much greater...

First of all, when I looked in the mirror, my divine feature, which was my bright blue eyes, was currently shining with a greater intensity than usual.

For example, the God of Mountains, as a One God, had muscles as big and powerful as mountains, but his back literally had a pair of large, imposing mountains growing out of it, an almost impenetrable defense for gods of the same rank who tried to attack him from behind.

The higher his divinity rank, the more imposing and resistant those mountains became.

Therefore, seeing such an imposing divinity feature was a way to show strength in the divine world.

Just as Zack, the God of Thunder, had small electric sparks running through his hair, it was very likely that as his rank increased in the future, he would actually be able to replace his hair completely with lightning.

But just as these characteristics could be displayed, they could also be hidden.

That's what I did.

Taking control of my divine power, I deliberately returned the brightness of my eyes to the level of the first rank and kept it that way.

Although this trait was very attractive to me, it didn't help me at all now and could possibly draw unwanted attention to me.

Another change in me was my body, from being an undernourished and weak boy, some muscles began to appear, making me more defined.

Of course, my strength wasn't limited to what my body looked like... I was now many times stronger than when I was a normal human in my previous life, but compared to the other gods, I was now at the bottom of the food chain.

But I was happy with that, although I sometimes lifted things much harder than I should have, even spilled some water on myself without meaning to, I soon got used to it and lay down to sleep for a while, obviously with my cell phone set to wake me up in 3 or 4 hours.

Sleeping with my full consciousness in my body was much more relaxing than sleeping with it in the mortal world...

As soon as I woke up, the first thing I did was to send my consciousness to the mortal world.

When I got there, I noticed that Robert was using the Internet to study the textbooks while he and Amber discussed how to improve his teaching.

Amber, being younger, was able to give the old man very valuable opinions.

Seeing that it was only a few hours before Robert's first class and that 60 more people had signed up to learn with him, I knew I had to deal with it now, tell him about the plans to increase the number of students and the venue, and finally test my blessing on him.

Thinking of the blessing I had prepared, a big smile appeared on my face as I sent my conscience to the marble body in the Church of the God of the Internet before approaching Robert and Amber to tell them the good news.
