Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 21 – Talent War

"Teacher, have I completed my test?"

Qiao Yu asked with some confusion.

He wanted to finish quickly because he noticed that the eyes of all the teachers and students in the school looking at him were not quite normal.

Everyone looked at him not like they were looking at a person, but rather like they were looking at a prehistoric beast.

Well, it made sense. After all, anyone would be shocked to see a level 7 Necromancer punch a level 25 Blade Cultivator three meters away.

"Am I... hallucinating? I just saw Qiao Yu punch the admissions teacher from Huaxing University away."

"Now that you mention it... I think I saw it too."

"Do you think there's a possibility that the Qiao Yu in front of us is a summoned undead creature, and the real Qiao Yu is hiding somewhere?"

"I think it's very possible! Necromancers are known to have the weakest physical bodies, how could he punch an admissions teacher away?"

"But... if someone could summon such a handsome undead creature... then... then..." A girl's face was full of shyness.

"Miss! Please stop your bold thoughts! Don't trouble the undead creatures, come at me if you have to!"

Listening to the students' discussions, Pei Xingguo's face turned from green to white. He was actually punched away by an Apprentice Realm novice!

Peng Liangji secretly felt relieved that Pei Xingguo volunteered to be the test teacher, otherwise, it would have been him losing face.

He sympathetically glanced at Pei Xingguo, thankful that it was someone else and not him.

But you couldn't blame Pei Xingguo; who would have thought that a seemingly delicate and weak Necromancer could punch the crap out of someone?

"Uh... Qiao Yu, your test is passed, but you didn't demonstrate any necromancy, so we can't evaluate you properly," Peng Liangji said.

"No worries, teacher, I've decided. I want to join the Warrior Class's Body Cultivation Major."

As soon as Qiao Yu finished speaking, everyone present almost popped their eyes out.

A Necromancer, known for having the weakest physical body, joining the Body Cultivation Major? What for? To pick up soap?

The admissions teachers from various prestigious schools looked at each other, not knowing what Qiao Yu was up to.

Joining a major that doesn't match one's class was unprecedented in the history of education.

But Qiao Yu remained calm. He had thought it through. Since he couldn't use spells, rather than wasting time in the Mage Major, he might as well learn some combat techniques in the Body Cultivation Major to help him earn more Attribute Points later.

With his current stats, except for lacking body cultivation skills, he was almost more like a body cultivator than a Necromancer.

"Uh..." Peng Liangji pondered for a moment.

"I need to apply to the principal for this, please wait a moment."

Peng Liangji closed his eyes and contacted the principal of Kyoto University.

Seeing this, Pei Xingguo couldn't care about losing face anymore and immediately started contacting the principal of Huaxing University.

"Xiao Pei, what's up? Weren't you recruiting at Su City's Fourth High School?"

A deep voice resonated in Pei Xingguo's mind, indicating a calm person was speaking.

"Principal! It's me! Here's the thing, I found a Necromancer with terrifying talent at Fourth High School, and he wants to join the Warrior Class's Body Cultivation Major..."

"Stop, stop!"

Pei Xingguo's words were interrupted by the principal.

"What nonsense are you talking about? A Necromancer with terrifying talent joining the Warrior Class? Are you awake?"

"Oh, principal, let me be brief. He's only level 7 and punched away nearly half my health!" Pei Xingguo said.

"What??"

The Huaxing principal exclaimed, followed by a long silence.

After all, anyone hearing such news for the first time would be shocked; it was too astonishing.

Moments later, the voice in Pei Xingguo's mind became anxious, losing its previous calmness.

"Alright! Xiao Pei, I'm giving you the highest authority of Huaxing University! No matter what conditions that student proposes, agree to them all. We must recruit him to Huaxing University."

"No! I'll invite him personally. Open the Inner World transmission!"

And similar situations were not only happening in the principal's office of Huaxing University but also in Kyoto University and other prestigious schools.

After all, a Necromancer with a strong physical body was equivalent to an all-round warrior without weaknesses!

He could punch Assassins and kick Warriors up close, and summon armies from afar.

Whether in group fights or duels, he was practically invincible. If nurtured, he would be a star student for any university!

However, the ideal is full, but the reality is bony.

Who knows what expressions these principals will have when they find out Qiao Yu can't summon a single undead...

Finally, the first principal arrived at the scene through image transmission, and with the current technology of the Inner World, it was no different from being there in person.

"Hello, Qiao Yu! I am Ji Pingyang, the principal of Kyoto University. Welcome to join us at Kyoto University!"

Ji Pingyang extended a warm and strong hand towards Qiao Yu.

For some reason, Ji Pingyang felt that Qiao Yu's face looked very familiar.

"Ji Pingyang, what do you mean? Qiao Yu hasn't agreed to join Kyoto University yet, how can you start welcoming him?"

Huaxing University's principal, Qin Tianhao, also arrived at the scene, glaring at Ji Pingyang.

The Metaverse's Inner World had been successfully constructed for over three years, and during this time, it had been proven what kind of changes an outstanding talent could bring to a university.

So Qiao Yu's importance was self-evident, and Ji Pingyang was like a protective mother hen shielding Qiao Yu.

"So what? Qiao Yu hasn't said he wants to join Huaxing University either!"

"Hmph, what does Huaxing University lack compared to Kyoto? Don't forget that in the past three years, Huaxing University has won the Inner World Championship!"

"So what? Does Huaxing have the long history of Kyoto University?"

Listening to the two esteemed principals arguing red-faced, trying to outdo each other, old grudges resurfaced.

Qiao Yu's expression became somewhat strange, but he didn't know how to interject at this moment.

Because whether he went to Huaxing or Kyoto, it made no difference to him.

His reason for wanting to attend Kyoto University was merely to investigate the clues about his parents' disappearance.

He believed that no matter which university he joined, he would surely learn a lot of useful knowledge.

As more prestigious school principals arrived, the atmosphere on-site became as tense as a marketplace.

The tension in the air grew thicker, and the principals of various schools argued until their faces turned red and necks bulged, while the teachers and students of Fourth High School watched the scene in astonishment.

In their eyes, the principals of these prestigious schools were all highly respected figures, and they had never seen such a scene before.

Then they turned their gaze to Qiao Yu, who stood aside as if nothing had happened.

They hadn't forgotten that it was because of him that these principals were arguing like this.
