Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 24 – Duel Grounds

"Deng Yanggang! Enough with your nonsense! If you keep acting so flamboyantly, I'll clean up the Su City Four Young Masters right now!"

Zhuo Xinyuan, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

Deng Yanggang pouted, looking aggrieved, "Brother Xinyuan, I was wrong, don't be mad at me, boohoo."

Qiao Yu turned his head to glance at Ma Fei. If Ma Fei was grouped with these people as the Su City Four Young Masters, he might not be a decent person either...

No way! I need to reassess my relationship with Ma Fei. I, Qiao Yu, don't need to eat at his table!

"Let's sit down first, we can talk after we sit."

As the host, Ma Fei had no choice but to invite everyone to sit down.

Deng Yanggang quickly sat next to Qiao Yu, looking at him with affection.

Qiao Yu tensed up completely.

"Ahem, Ma Fei, your classmates are indeed outstanding! No wonder they were recommended to Kyoto University!"

Master Wen Nian praised them, but his eyes kept darting towards Zuo You and Zhao Ziyue.

Having been through many romantic encounters, he knew very well that whether it's a good or bad impression, you must make the girl remember you on the first meeting.

If the girl doesn't remember you, all your efforts are in vain.

"This classmate Zuo You looks delicate, she must be a Mage or an Assassin, right? After all, only a damage dealer can match Zuo You's looks!" Master Wen Nian remarked.

"No, I'm a Heavy Tank."

Master Wen Nian: .......

Well, that was a failed attempt at flattery.

How could a girl who's barely over 1.5 meters tall be a Tank????

"Uh, hehe, Tanks are great, Tanks are great. We can team up to clear dungeons later!" Master Wen Nian said, patting his chest.

"I'm in the Warrior Class, specializing in Body Cultivation! My attack power is as high as 30 points! Together, we'll be unstoppable, with you taking the damage and me dealing it."

"Pfft!"

Yang Xiangdi, who was devouring abalone, couldn't help but burst into laughter. 30 attack points weren't even higher than Ma Fei's.

Zuo You's expression also turned peculiar, as she discreetly glanced at someone who could deal a 508 critical hit with one strike.

Master Wen Nian thought they were shocked by his performance, as his stats were among the top at their high school.

Not to mention getting into prestigious universities like Tsinghua or Peking, getting into a regular one should be no problem.

Master Wen Nian decided to strike while the iron was hot, flipping his red bangs with flair.

"Moreover, I haven't cleared the Body Cultivation Exclusive Dungeon yet. Once I do, I'll become even stronger! Maybe we'll even be classmates at Kyoto University!"

The so-called Exclusive Dungeon is a dungeon that every class must go through, and each class has a different Exclusive Dungeon.

Novice Quest—Novice Trial—Exclusive Dungeon.

After completing these three stages, one is considered to have passed the novice phase and become a mature Inner World player.

"By the way, is anyone here in the Body Cultivation class?"

Master Wen Nian felt that words alone weren't enough; he needed to showcase his skills to prove his excellence.

"No, but there's a Necromancer planning to join Kyoto University's Body Cultivation Major. Want to meet him?" Yang Xiangdi seemed to have guessed Master Wen Nian's intentions.

"Huh? A Necromancer joining the Body Cultivation Major?"

Not only Master Wen Nian, but Deng Yanggang and Zhuo Xinyuan were also stunned.

As everyone knows, the hallmark of Body Cultivation is high health and high attack.

Thus, Body Cultivators are also known as the team's sub-tank, meaning they can both attack and defend.

But a Necromancer...

"Look, it's him." Yang Xiangdi picked up a lobster and pointed at Qiao Yu.

Deng Yanggang's eyes lit up instantly.

Master Wen Nian raised an eyebrow. If Qiao Yu were a Body Cultivator, he might back down, but a Necromancer?

"Qiao Yu, how about we spar in the Inner World? If I can beat you, maybe I can apply for a recommendation to Kyoto University too?" Master Wen Nian suggested.

Ma Fei lowered his head, afraid he might burst out laughing. How had he not noticed Master Wen Nian's boldness before?

Qiao Yu was taken aback. How did this suddenly involve him?

"Let's not. Let's just enjoy our meal."

Qiao Yu's response made Master Wen Nian even more confident! He was backing down! He was scared!

"No worries, Qiao Yu. Considering you're a Necromancer, I won't go all out. If necessary, I'll let you have one hand, how about that?" Master Wen Nian said nonchalantly.

He was eager to put on a perfect show.

"Uh... let's not. There's no need for us to fight." Qiao Yu continued to decline.

"Oh, Qiao Yu, you don't have to hold back! Go for it! Beat him up!" Deng Yanggang cheered in a sweet voice, waving his fist the size of a sandbag.

Toughened!

His fists were toughened!

Qiao Yu was more inclined to punch Deng Yanggang in the face first.

"Exactly, Qiao Yu, don't be shy, come on!" Master Wen Nian encouraged.

"No worries, we can eat later! Let's go!" Yang Xiangdi joined in the commotion.

Under the crowd's urging, Qiao Yu reluctantly shook his head and channeled his crystal into the Inner World.

At the base of the familiar tower, Qiao Yu and the others slowly appeared.

"Let's go to the Duel Grounds!" Master Wen Nian excitedly called out.

The Duel Grounds is a special Duel Dungeon in the Inner World, equivalent to a boxing ring in the real world.

Under the rules of the Duel Grounds, players won't die. When a player's health drops to 1, it automatically locks, and they are deemed defeated.

Therefore, many players with conflicts or those wanting to spar choose to resolve it at the Duel Grounds.

It's also a sacred place for countless Warrior Class players to train and grow stronger.

"Fight! Fight, damn it!"

"Fight! Get him! Get that punk!"

"Hit him, beat him to a pulp! Yeah, left hook, get him, right there! Awesome!"

"Spectacular!"

As soon as they entered the Duel Grounds, they were greeted by a cacophony of cheers.

The Duel Grounds consists of numerous platforms, known as Duel Platforms, surrounded by a ring of stands.

Wherever there's a duel, there are naturally bets, and the shouts were coming from the stands.

"Congratulations to player Mad Wolf for defeating Old Demon and claiming victory!"

"Awwooo!"

On one of the Duel Platforms, a man with a buzz cut let out a wolf-like howl! He had a blood-soaked lone wolf tattooed on his body, standing over a man who had been beaten beyond recognition.

That man's health was down to a pitiful 1 point.

"Way to go, Mad Wolf! I'm betting on you to win the next round too!"

"Mad Wolf, I love you, keep it up!"

"Old Demon, you useless fool! Why don't you just die! I've lost everything, even my underwear!"

"Yeah, trying to fight on the Duel Platform, go eat dirt and end it!"

The stands erupted with roars, making it clear who had won and who had lost everything.

Seeing Qiao Yu's gaze fixed on Mad Wolf on the Duel Platform, Master Wen Nian worried that the bloody scene might scare Qiao Yu, so he quickly reassured him.

"Don't worry!"

He patted Qiao Yu's shoulder with a gentle smile.

"Qiao Yu, I won't beat you up that badly; we'll just go easy on each other."
