Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 22 – Parents' news

"Alright, enough arguing!"

Qin Tianhao stepped forward to calm the nearly out-of-control scene.

"Arguing here won't solve anything. Qiao Yu, it's up to you to choose which university you want to join."

As soon as he finished speaking, the principals of the major universities all looked at Qiao Yu with anticipation.

They all hoped to recruit such a genius into their ranks.

"Uh, I choose..."

Before Qiao Yu could finish, Ji Pingyang interrupted him.

"Hold on, Qiao Yu, do you know Qiao Anqing?"

Qiao Yu's emotions surged instantly!

Qiao Anqing, he hadn't heard that name in twelve years!

He rushed over and grabbed Ji Pingyang's arms, urgently asking.

"Principal Ji, have you seen my father? Do you know where he is?"

Ji Pingyang shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Your father, Qiao Anqing, and your mother, Liu Pingwan, were both my students. I haven't seen them in over ten years either."

"No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I first saw you, you look so much like your father!"

So his parents had once attended Kyoto University, Qiao Yu's thoughts were in turmoil.

In any case, he finally found a clue about his parents.

"Principal Ji! I choose Kyoto University!" Qiao Yu said without hesitation.

The other prestigious university principals exchanged glances and showed a helpless smile.

Ji Pingyang had the advantage of Qiao Yu's parents' connection, how could they compete with that?

With a blur of figures, they began to leave one after another.

Their original intention was to recruit Qiao Yu, and since he had decided to join Kyoto University, there was no point in staying.

Before long, only Ji Pingyang was left on the scene.

He looked at Ma Fei and the others.

"Since you're all from the same class, why not join us at Kyoto University? It'll be good to have each other's support in the future."

Ma Fei and the others naturally had no reason to refuse; it was an opportunity to be directly admitted to Kyoto University. Who could refuse such an opportunity?

"Principal Ji, I have a few more questions for you." Qiao Yu stepped forward to ask.

"If it's about your parents, there's no need to ask. I'm not very clear either. I can only tell you that your parents were remarkable people."

Ji Pingyang sighed as he spoke.

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Thank you, Principal Ji."

Before leaving, Ji Pingyang gave Qiao Yu a deep look, unable to say some words.

Two adults disappearing without a trace for over a decade, the chances were...

The five talented students from Fourth High School were ultimately all recruited by Kyoto University, making Peng Liangji's face almost split with laughter.

Pei Xingguo was the one who got beaten, while Peng Liangji was the one who recruited the talented students. It was simply too satisfying.

"Xiao Pei! Don't be discouraged, next time during recruitment, I'll let you choose first!"

Peng Liangji patted Pei Xingguo on the shoulder.

"Get lost!"

Pei Xingguo was extremely frustrated, feeling as if he had been force-fed something unpleasant.

Peng Liangji walked over to Qiao Yu and the others, handing each of them a booklet.

"This contains recommendations and training methods for various classes developed by our experts at Kyoto University, as well as detailed strategies for clearing exclusive dungeons."

"You'd better clear your class's exclusive dungeon before the semester starts, so you'll be more valued at school!"

"The end of the manual also includes a detailed map of the route from Su City to Kyoto University for registration. You can take a look."

Qiao Yu took his booklet and started flipping through it, his expression growing more peculiar as he read.

"Necromancer, recommended attribute points: primary Spirit, secondary Intelligence."

"Recommendation: Unlike traditional mages, necromancers rely on undead creatures to deal damage and absorb hits for you. You only need to cast spells from the back to control the battlefield; hence, high casting speed isn't necessary. The strength of the undead creatures is most important..."

Qiao Yu closed the booklet with a wry smile. This manual was useless to him now; he was probably the first necromancer to put all points into Strength.

Seeing that Qiao Yu and the others had finished reading, Peng Liangji smiled and turned off the Inner World Conversion Device.

"Alright everyone, once the admission letters are ready, they'll be sent to you directly through the Inner World network. Good luck! The dawn of the Metaverse era requires the effort of each of us, so keep it up! See you at Kyoto University!"

After giving his instructions, Peng Liangji and the other recruitment teachers left one after another.

After watching the recruitment teachers' cars leave, Principal Hong immediately pulled all the high school principals in Su City into a group chat in the Inner World.

"Ah! Finally sent off all the prestigious university principals and recruitment teachers. Training such outstanding students is also a burden! It's exhausting for an old man like me who's about to retire!"

"Old Hong, what are you talking about? Why did the principals of prestigious universities go to your Fourth High School?" another high school principal asked.

"Oh, nothing much, just that Principal Qin Haotian from Huaxing University and Principal Ji Pingyang from Kyoto University came to our school to fight over five of my students for direct admission. One of the students even knocked a recruitment teacher flying during the test."

"Sigh! I always teach them to keep a low profile! These kids don't listen, it's so troublesome! So troublesome, hahaha!"

Hong Jianguo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The principal of First High School left the group chat.

The principal of Second High School left the group chat.

The principal of Third High School left the group chat.

...

On the way back to the classroom, Ma Fei walked with his head held high, wishing he could engrave the words "direct admission" on his face.

The envious gazes of his classmates made Ma Fei feel very pleased.

In contrast, Zhao Ziyue seemed a bit preoccupied.

Compared to Qiao Yu and the others, her direct admission felt more like an afterthought.

She could clearly sense this from the attitude of the recruitment teachers.

She bit her lip, a stubborn determination burning in her eyes. She absolutely wouldn't be left behind by Qiao Yu and the others!

"Don't leave after school! I told my dad to come pick us up after school!" Ma Fei said before running off somewhere to show off.

Qiao Yu didn't see Ma Fei for the rest of the afternoon until he returned with a smug look on his face at the end of the day.

Regarding Qiao Yu punching the recruitment teacher, Ma Fei was shocked but not at all jealous.

In his view, once he leveled up enough to use the Dragon-Piercing Sword, defeating Qiao Yu would be a piece of cake.

So what if Qiao Yu enjoyed a few more days of glory?

When Qiao Yu and the others reached the school gate, a brand-new Alphard was already parked there.

Ma Fei walked up and gallantly opened the car door.

"Get in, this is my dad's personal driver, Uncle Fu."

"Hello, Uncle Fu!"

The group didn't stand on ceremony with Ma Fei, greeting the driver Uncle Fu before getting into the car.

"Hello, everyone." Uncle Fu was a middle-aged driver with a very kind smile.

As the car started, Yang Xiangdi looked around and asked curiously.

"Ma Fei, if your family is so rich, why buy a van? But this van's seats are quite comfortable, like a sofa, and it even has a starry sky roof!"

Up front, Uncle Fu's foot slipped, nearly driving the Alphard into a ditch.

A van, seriously!
