As it turned out, a goblin was just a goblin. Even an Abyssal Goblin was, at its core, still a goblin.

You shouldn’t have any illusions about a goblin’s combat effectiveness,

unless those goblins included Goblin Warriors and Goblin Sages!

But a goblin army without these special units, even one outnumbering the Wood Elf Corps three to one,

was destined to be crushed with ease!

"Loose!" Feiyana commanded.

A rain of arrows poured down, and the front ranks of Abyssal Goblins fell in an instant.

Those so-called spellcasting Abyssal Goblins were pinned to the ground before they could even conjure their little fireballs.

"Touch of Nature!"

Countless vines suddenly shot out from the ground, binding hundreds of goblins up completely.

Then another volley of arrows rained down, killing nearly every goblin that had been ensnared!

After a few volleys, the Abyssal Goblins were already very close to the Elf Warriors—only just over 200 meters away.

But faced with this seemingly reachable distance and the threat of death, the Abyssal Goblins chose to turn and flee!

This was the first time in any of the trials that an invading Clan had actually turned and fled.

When the first Abyssal Goblin turned tail and ran,

it was quickly followed by a flood of copycats.

The remaining goblins, scared out of their wits, scrambled back toward the Teleportation Gate.

"Pursue them!"

This was the first time in all their battles that Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had given the order to actively pursue an enemy. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Elf Warriors easily reaped the routing enemies.

The battle was over in less than ten minutes.

They passed the fifth round of the trial in only 8 minutes and 37 seconds, and the Wood Elf faction suffered zero casualties.

They had sustained more injuries in the previous battle against the Werewolf Clan!

The fifth round of the trial was over. Next up was the crucial sixth round!

All the Wood Elves and Natural Elves knew,

that as long as they passed the sixth round, the great Elf God would have a way to deal with the Teleportation Gate.

In other words, if they could just endure this final trial, they would bring victory to their great Elf God!

Therefore, all the Wood Elves and Natural Elves stood ready, bracing for the worst. Even High Priest Shamiel was prepared to intervene at a moment’s notice.

When the black Teleportation Gate began to vibrate once more,

this time, the tremors were stronger than before. One by one, massive figures emerged from the other side of the black Teleportation Gate!

"The Elephant Clan!"

Watching from above his Divine Realm as the members of the Elephant Clan continuously streamed out of the black Teleportation Gate, Zhang Yi was shocked!

It was a known fact that among all the Beastman Clans, the most powerful were generally the Carnivorous Types.

But there were a few Herbivorous Type Beastman Clans that could rival the top-tier Carnivorous Types.

The Elephant Clan was one of them!

A member of the Elephant Clan in their youth could already reach a height of three to four meters.

An adult could reach seven to eight meters, with the tallest growing up to ten meters!

Furthermore, their massive trunks could also be powerful weapons on the battlefield.

And their immense power was the source of their invincibility in battle!

So many of these colossal members of the Elephant Clan were actually having to bend over just to exit the black Teleportation Gate.

’Did the proctor make a mistake?’

’An Elephant Clan of this size... they’ve got to be way over the standard, right?!’

If it were just one or two of them, Zhang Yi wouldn’t have been so shocked.

But there were fifty of them in total, and all were colossal figures standing seven to eight meters tall.

’I doubt I could pass the sixth round of the test even if I used every trick up my sleeve!’

However, Zhang Yi had a very clear understanding of his own abilities.

’I’m definitely in the top three in my class.’

’If even I can’t pass this, how many people in the entire school can?’

So, Zhang Yi immediately spent 1000 Faith Value on Reconnaissance to view the stats of the Elephant Clan members that had entered his Divine Realm.

[Clan: Elephant Clan]

[Class: Middle Clan]

[Level: Third Level]

[Profession: Elephant Man Warrior]

[Skills: Frenzy (Unusable)]

[Talent: Great Strength]

[Power: 4.8]

[Agility: 3.1]

[Constitution: 3.9]

[Intelligence: 3.1]

[Spirit: 3.0]

Evaluation: An Elephant Man Warrior on the verge of death from old age. Completely unable to use skills. Expected to die of old age within the next few days!

"Huh?"

When Zhang Yi saw that line in the Evaluation, he realized there was a twist to the situation.

He then spent several thousand more Faith Value to inspect the other members of the Elephant Clan.

Sure enough, they all had the same Evaluation.

’So that’s how it is,’ Zhang Yi concluded to himself.

’This is a trial meant for students to pass, not one designed to torture them.’

’So there’s no way they would send an enemy that my Clan is completely incapable of defeating!’

’But if they’re so old they’re on death’s door and can’t even use their skills, then the situation becomes much more reasonable.’

Thinking it over,

Zhang Yi realized he had been so focused on his panic that he’d missed some key details.

He hadn’t noticed that these Elephant Clan members wore neither Vine Armor nor metal Armor. Even the weapons in their hands were crude, low-quality wooden clubs.

They looked nothing like the finely crafted weapons wielded by warriors going out to battle!

This batch of Elephant Clan members was simply looking to be of some use before they died.

Zhang Yi had heard his teacher talk about this kind of situation in class.

Some clan members on the verge of death, in times of food shortages or famine, would choose not to remain in the tribe and consume precious food. Instead, they would leave the food for the young and the children of the clan and proactively seek out a place to die.

In his past life, Zhang Yi had heard of a similar phenomenon—the legend of the "elephants’ graveyard"!

In any case, once Zhang Yi understood the situation, his confidence returned.

Zhang Yi spent several thousand Faith Value to transmit this information via an Oracle to the three great leaders of the Elf Tribe below.

Upon receiving the Oracle from the great Elf God, Elf High Priest Shamiel and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana were instantly reassured.

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana and Elf Queen An Nobel then went to comfort the Wood Elves and Natural Elves.

With the great Elf God backing them up, the remaining Elves all believed their leaders’ words.

Then they assumed combat stances, ready for battle!

Meanwhile, in the Divine Realms of the other students, they too were facing the sixth round of the trial.

Some students, like Zhang Yi, had spent Faith Value to inspect the invading Clan and discovered their negative status effects.

Other students, for various reasons, had almost no Faith Value left, or had already used it all up in the previous rounds.

Faced with the massive Elephant Man Warriors, they could only grit their teeth and order their own Clans to charge head-on!

In still other Divine Realms,

the Lords of the Divine Realm planned to use the mobility of their Centaur Clan,

to actively employ a kiting strategy, leading the Elephant Clan members around until they dropped dead from exhaustion.
