From hell to heaven, from disappointment to shock, it was only a few seconds, but for the teachers of the War God Academy, it felt like an eternity. Could it be that they would return with disappointment, only to see Barrett Walk rise to the top of the rankings with forty-two kills? The others were slightly bewildered, unable to comprehend what had just happened. How could forty-two kills compare to two thousand three hundred and eleven?
"This isn't an error!" Ang Lee stepped forward and moved a slider button, looking at the screen with a puzzled expression.
"Could this be a high-energy monster? Just a high school student, and yet he's killed so many high-energy monsters. Who would believe it if we told them? This achievement is truly astounding. The heads of the War God Academy's departments were stunned, finding it more astonishing than killing four thousand two hundred low-energy monsters. They couldn't help but feel strange.
Ross stared blankly at the blood-red number, forty-two. Even she couldn't guarantee that she could slaughter so many high-energy monsters in such a short time. When did Barrett Walk become so powerful? This achievement completely overturned Barrett Walk's impression in Ross's mind. His past weakness now seemed like a world of difference.
"Principal! Take a look at how he did it!" A dean couldn't help but speak up.
"Yes, Principal, take a look!" A large group of people were rubbing their hands in anticipation. If such an outstanding student were to join their department, it would greatly enhance the department's strength.
"Everyone, out!" Danus Leo listened to the requests behind him, but instead of making a move, he spoke a sentence that drove everyone out. Watching everyone leave reluctantly, Danus Leo closed the door of the core control room. "Stellar! Summon Barrett Walk's video, core code: Wudang. Confirmation code: Golden Toad."
"Confirming permission! Highest level 5S permission, access granted!" The synthesized machine voice sounded, and the screen instantly changed, displaying the image of Barrett Walk. If Ross had heard that Danus Leo's permission was 5S, she would have been shocked. The highest permission she knew of was only 3S. 5S could almost access anywhere in the federation, something only the War God Mas Walk had.
Danus Leo looked at Barrett Walk, who was lying still in the swamp, alert. He furrowed his brow slightly and gradually zoomed in the lens. After switching to the first-person view, he saw what was in the sniper scope. Danus Leo observed Barrett Walk for a long time. Each time he saw Barrett Walk snipe a high-energy monster in no more than two shots, his expression became complex, showing disappointment and joy. Finally, he sighed, "Perhaps there truly are no perfect things in this world. Heaven didn't allow you to become an invaluable killing weapon, but it made you an incomparably intimidating nuclear weapon! What a pity, what a shame!"
After opening the door of the core control room, Danus Leo quickly concealed his regretful expression. Looking at the eager expressions of the others, he said, "Let's go! We've understood enough. I've sealed his video. Without the necessary permission, you won't be able to access it out of curiosity."
"Principal, with such a talented student, if he doesn't join our elite department, it would be a waste!" Ang Lee, with a serious look on his face, slightly tried to please, leaning in and saying.
"Ang, what are you implying? Your combat department is already strong enough. We finally have an elite, and now you want to snatch him away? This time, it must be our Mecha Warfare department!" Glenn Urine rolled his eyes and turned her head, waving her hand. "I'm telling you, Ang, if you let this person into your Mecha Warfare department, it would be a complete waste of talent! Send him to the Rifle Academy! He's already formidable enough, and learning to use a gun would be like giving wings to a tiger!"
The dean of the Rifle Academy said this with some reluctance.
Seeing others from the Occult department wanting to intervene, Danus Leo interrupted and said, "This student has been specially approved. He will be admitted to the Mecha Warfare department. After three months of assessment, I will personally take him as my disciple!"
Everyone was completely puzzled by this. They never doubted Danus Leo's judgment. Why did he want to admit him to the Mecha Warfare department after all? It seemed pointless and unnecessary. And to let him enter these mediocre academies... no one could understand.
"Let's go! Let's go back! I think the entire federation will be in chaos after our absence for a few hours!" Even though there were only a few people, along with the teachers outside, they could withstand ten ordinary ability warriors from the federation. Such a large-scale display of military power would surely make many people nervous. Danus Leo also knew the severity of the situation and that they couldn't stay for long.
Barrett Walk didn't know he had been accepted early by the War God Academy, but as the time approached, he didn't want to waste any more energy. He relaxed and lay down, checking the records. There should be many people on the leaderboard by now, but he found that Dave Green was still in first place. Barrett Walk was bewildered. Was Dave Green really that powerful? But in the next moment, everything changed. The first place was now Baron Rockefeller, followed by Monica Rothschild, and then a new name, Tama. Only after that was Dave Green in fourth place. Would it be stable now? Barrett Walk looked at his fifty-seven high-energy monsters, nearly a thousand more than Baron's four thousand nine hundred. After hesitating for a moment, Barrett Walk ultimately chose not to be on the leaderboard.
As the last few seconds ticked away, Barrett Walk closed his eyes and did some eye exercises. Gradually feeling a heaviness in his gaze, when the time was up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He rubbed his eyes with force and adjusted to the light before opening them with relief, walking out of the exam room. Baron immediately came up and asked, "Finally finished the exam. How did it go? You still have three days before the final scores are released. What are you planning to do in these few days?"
"It went okay. And you?" Barrett Walk hadn't thought about it yet. The dormitory was almost empty by now. Perhaps he should move back to the capsule apartment.
"As for me, you've seen it, right? I can't do anything! I have to go back to the family for some matters." Baron said helplessly.
"Hehe, as long as the exam went well!" Barrett Walk looked at Baron's helpless expression. Everything felt relaxed after the exam. It was only now that Barrett Walk noticed something peculiar. He tried hard to recall what had happened to Baron in the past three years. It seemed like he hadn't even taken this exam. The two of them gradually drifted apart. Only from the federation's news did he learn that the head of the Rockefeller family had suddenly changed to Baron Rockefeller, in charge of the Rockefeller family's major properties. During that time, the entire federation's news media were questioning Baron's abilities. Would the transition of power in the Rockefeller family harm the federation's interests? But Baron, with his talent and control, proved to all the doubters with two strategic maneuvers that those who sought to take advantage of the power transition and grab a piece of the Rockefeller family's pie fled in disarray. It was a classic acquisition battle, but later some people suspected that the Rothschild family had helped in secret.

Barrett Walk remembered that in the previous life, after Baron stabilized the Rockefeller family, he had personally gone to the capsule apartment to find him. But Barrett Walk was extremely self-conscious at the time, and because of Julia's incident, he had his leg broken by someone and didn't dare to see anyone. Even Baron didn't recognize him at the time, showing the extent of the change. He didn't dare to face his childhood friend who had grown up with him and fabricated a lie to deceive him. It was a miserable time.
"Is something wrong with your family?" Barrett Walk thought for a moment, staring at Baron seriously. He didn't know if he had changed Baron's destiny in this life, and he didn't know if the result of this change was good or not. But he didn't regret it. If Baron couldn't smoothly ascend to the position of family head, then he would also help him.
"Hmm! How did you know?" Baron looked at Barrett Walk's serious expression. It didn't seem like a joke. After a moment of trying to cover it up, he finally said, "My grandfather is about to break through. He's preparing to close up and break through the barrier. I have to go back to prepare to take over the family affairs!"
Barrett Walker's heart suddenly jumped when the Rockefeller family announced Barrett's assumption of family responsibilities in this lifetime, choosing to keep silent about the failure of Kenrick Rockefeller and his eventual demise in a fire, until Barrett stabilized family affairs and then announced Kenrick's death. Although Barrett had met Kenrick Rockefeller a few times, there was not much contact, so he was only briefly saddened for Barrett and did not have much of an impression. Suddenly he thought, should he remind Barrett to be more careful and not be too hasty, so that his grandfather doesn't pursue quick gains.
"What's wrong with you, your face looks so grim!" Barrett looked at Barrett Walker's troubled expression and asked.
Barrett Walker had a difficult time expressing his feelings. He hesitated before saying, "It's nothing, but to cross that threshold and become a demigod is not simple at all! You need to make sure your grandfather pays attention! Don't be too hasty!"
"Yes! Isn't your grandfather a demigod? Do you have any good advice that I can give to my grandfather?" Barrett seemed to have an idea and looked at Barrett Walker with anticipation.
Barrett Walker was in a dilemma. It's not that he didn't want to tell Barrett those things, but these confidential matters were never discussed by the war god Mars Walker. But seeing the hopeful look on Barrett's face and thinking of Kenrick Rockefeller's tragic death, Barrett Walker finally said, "Tell your grandfather, there's no specific method, think about the difference between gods and humans, and what a demigod is." This was indeed something the war god Mars Walker had told Barrett Walker. At that time, Barrett Walker felt like he was nothing in his eyes, and the war god spoke arrogantly as if he was a true god, making Barrett feel like an ant on the ground.
"Really? The difference between gods and humans! It's so mystical!" Barrett scratched his head, unable to fully understand, but with his current level, thinking about these words coming from the war god Mars Walker made it seem like another profound truth, and he nodded in a puzzled manner, saying, "Ah! I'm just a captain, I can't understand it!"
"Hey! I see you guys hiding here! How did you do in the exam, I hope you didn't perform poorly!" Phil Jones, feeling unhappy about the insults he received that afternoon, and not having the authority to see the top ten rankings, saw that the names of these two brothers were nowhere to be found past the top one hundred, so he greeted them cheerfully. At least he made it into the top one hundred!
"Cousin! What rank did you get?" Philip looked smug.
"Well, it's not bad, I'm ranked 42 in the entire federation!" Phil Jones gestured with his hands.
"Indeed, only 42!" Barrett said disdainfully, ignoring the boasting brothers and pulling Barrett Walker away.
"Stop! You haven't told me your rank yet! If I did better than you, I hope you have the sense to give up the rights in the War God Treaty, so you don't embarrass yourself!" Phil Jones stepped forward and blocked Barrett Walker, looking at them with a sneer.
Barrett Walker didn't know if there were others who hid their kill counts like him, but he was certain that his scores in the three subjects would secure him a top spot in the federal entrance exam. Looking at this person ranked 42, he felt it was ridiculous. He hadn't caused trouble with him, yet he shamelessly came over and asked to be kicked in the face.
"Do you really want to know my score?" Barrett Walker said calmly.
Barrett looked at Barrett Walker's suddenly calm expression, feeling surprised. If he could really see his score, then Barrett Walker's score would be at least in the top ten. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see Barrett's score.
"Yes! I can indeed see your score!" Barrett Walker nodded slightly, indifferent to the news.
Barrett was shocked. Killing in this second world was his specialty! He had never seen Barrett Walker exhibit any abnormal behavior in this second world, always performing averagely. But now, to suddenly hear that he could see his score, it meant that he was at least in the top ten! How could a person change so drastically? He felt his heart sink, the descendant of the War God family!
"Phil Jones! Philip! Why are you still here, the principal is looking for you!" Suddenly a teacher shouted loudly.
Phil Jones and Philip paid no attention to him, completely ignoring him. They suddenly felt a sense of unease, and conveniently the teacher called for them, they quickly made their escape.
"Indeed! He must be getting impatient, let's go!" Philip didn't wait for Phil Jones to react, and ran off.
"They really are like two clowns, bringing shame to the noble family!" Jenny Antell was dressed very provocatively, with ultra-short shorts and black stockings that showed off her long and beautiful legs, attracting the attention of passing students and driving the sock enthusiasts crazy. It was a sight to behold! A beauty enhances everything.
"Jenny Antell! As the head of the propaganda department, are you going to the meeting to discuss the dance in three days?" Richard Roberts looked at Jenny Antell standing provocatively at the entrance of the teaching building, drawing the attention of male students, and asked as he approached.
"Yes! I'll go now!" Jenny Antell promised, looking a bit reluctant as she glanced at the backs of Barrett Walker and Barrett going away. She couldn't understand why Barrett Walker was ignoring her, as she hadn't shown anything in front of him.
"Ah! If only I hadn't been so petty and bullied these two students, I could have been famous now!" Richard Roberts looked at the backs of Barrett Walker and Barrett, feeling the same as Jenny Antell, filled with regret and remorse!
"In three days, are you planning to bring a date to the dance? It's a great opportunity!" Just as they were about to part ways at the school gate, Barrett suddenly turned back and asked in a suggestive manner.
Barrett Walker looked at Barrett's sly expression and knew what he was thinking. His mind couldn't help but bring up the face of Julia, with her beautiful and stunning face. He felt a bit lost and desolate, and said, "Let's see then! I warn you not to bring any disreputable women to the last high school dance!"
"I can resist anything except temptation, so don't make me miserable with your pitiful face. I don't have the time for that! I'm a big real estate developer, and I don't know how many virgin lands are waiting for me to develop!" As they reached the corner, Barrett took out his car keys, and the sound of a car engine echoed from the depths of the alley. Barrett drove out in a blue convertible, and as he looked at Barrett Walker standing at the intersection, he asked, "Need a ride?"
"Forget it, you go ahead! And let me remind you, as a big real estate developer, don't overwork yourself to death!" Barrett Walker said teasingly.
"Hmph!" Barrett stepped on the gas, and the car emitted blue flames as it roared out like a bull. The fuel burned in that one step was enough to cover someone's monthly salary.
Barrett Walker couldn't help but feel sorry. When would he be able to enjoy such luxury?
Barrett Walker walked alone on the university avenue, watching various sports cars and sedans speeding past on both sides. He couldn't understand why a shabby school like Public High 21 dared to set up across the street from this prestigious school. It was embarrassing!
A low, rumbling roar sounded behind Barrett Walker, but he didn't turn to look. He continued walking forward, eager to see his capsule apartment before it was taken back. Otherwise, he would have nowhere to stay for the summer.
Ding! Ding! The sports car behind suddenly came to a halt next to Barrett Walker. The window rolled down to reveal a graceful and noble face, adorned with a pair of tortoiseshell glasses, adding a touch of intellectual beauty. Her eyes, bright and lively, seemed to see through the depths of the soul, marking her as a true beauty! Her fair complexion, akin to white jade adorned with rouge, dazzled the onlookers, and her slender legs were impossible to ignore, almost sacrilegious in their allure! The beautiful woman gently parted her vermilion lips and said, "Get in the car!" Ah! Barrett Walker exclaimed, his eyes widening in disbelief at this stunning woman!
