Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 66

As soon as Principal Hong finished speaking, the scene fell into a moment of silence.

"Uh... Principal, our school's partnership with Fourth High School is going pretty well, huh," Long Xiang said awkwardly.

"Ahem, yes, yes," the principal of First High School was also baffled.

How did a student from Fourth High School end up as the centerpiece of their First High School team?

This doesn't make sense!

Even the principals on stage didn't know what was going on, so the students of First High School were even more clueless.

They all thought Qiao Yu was some secret ace the school had been grooming.

No matter what they thought, the college entrance exam candidates from the four high schools in Su City were already in position.

Four teams were neatly arranged in the examination hall, with four areas marked out in front of them, each corresponding to one of the four major class categories.

Each area had countless arenas, and in front of the arenas was a podium where a middle-aged man in formal attire stepped up.

"Good morning, candidates of Su City!"

The candidates' eyes all turned to him, as this middle-aged man was Fang Biaozhi, the mayor of Su City.

"It is a great honor to stand here once again, seeing off a new batch of talents participating in the annual college entrance examination."

"To be honest, no matter how many times I participate, I am just as excited!"

"Because this means I will once again witness the birth of geniuses in Su City, witness our city contributing another batch of talents to the nation!"

"Three years of hard training to forge a sword, calm and composed, the battle is still fierce."

"Everyone! Your era has begun!"

As soon as Fang Biaozhi finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below, and the eyes of the youths burned with intense fighting spirit.

There are many opportunities to change one's life, and the college entrance examination is undoubtedly the biggest one.

After Fang Biaozhi stepped down, an elderly man with a serious expression took his place.

Behind the old man was a huge unknown object covered with a curtain.

"I am the chief examiner for this year's college entrance examination, Jin Tong!"

"Mayor Fang has already said the formalities, so I won't waste words. This exam will use a point elimination system."

"Win a round, gain 2 points; lose a round, lose 1 point; consecutive wins earn an extra point, consecutive losses do not incur extra deductions."

"After ten rounds, the ten students with the highest points will compete in a tournament to determine the first place. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

A unified response echoed from the audience.

"Very good! You can give it your all without worrying about accidental injuries, because this exam will use... the rules of the Duel Grounds!"

As soon as Jin Tong finished speaking, the candidates below were in an uproar; some were even more motivated, while others looked worried.

"The rules of the Duel Grounds..." Qiao Yu muttered to himself.

Under the rules of the Duel Grounds, the college entrance examination meant that players wouldn't die; when a player's health reached 1, it would automatically lock, and they would be judged as defeated.

This meant candidates would undoubtedly fight more fiercely and brutally, which was a nightmare for those lacking combat experience.

"I hereby announce the official start of the 3080 Su City college entrance examination!"

Jin Tong pulled down the curtain behind him, revealing an enormous, high-powered Inner World Conversion Device.

Jin Tong pressed the switch, and the entire examination hall was instantly transformed into the Inner World.

"Now, candidates, proceed to your respective areas according to your class!"

Qiao Yu turned and headed towards the mage area, finally meeting up with Yang Xiangdi.

"Yu Bro! You're amazing, how did you end up as the leader of First High School? That's so cool! Teach me how to do it, so I can show off next time!"

Behind Qiao Yu, the candidates from First High School turned green at these words.

So after all this commotion, the person who had been in the spotlight all along was actually someone from another school?

This is intolerable, even an uncle can bear it, but an aunt can't.

Several candidates from First High School immediately issued threats.

"Kid, just wait, don't let us catch you in the exam! Or you're done for!"

"Yeah, how dare you mess with us like this! You're in for a beating!"

Yang Xiangdi stepped in front of Qiao Yu, provoking them further.

"Been loved, been hated, been hurt, been castrated, when has my Yu Bro ever been afraid? If you have the guts, just try to kill him!"

Qiao Yu: "..."

Sure enough, as soon as the words were out, a few hot-headed candidates from First High School rolled up their sleeves and charged forward.

If they're not hot-headed, can they still be called young?

"Stop! No more fighting!"

"If you want to fight, do it on the arena!"

A proctor stopped their antics, and the candidates finally settled down, but their gazes towards Qiao Yu were clearly more resentful.

"Alright, now let's draw the matchups for the first round of the mage class."

The proctor waved his hand, and a giant holographic screen appeared before everyone, scrolling through the names of all mage class candidates from the four high schools.

[First Round]

[Arena 108, First High School (Long Mietian) vs. Fourth High School (Qiao Yu.)]

"Long Mietian? What kind of parents with adolescent delusions would name their kid that?"

Qiao Yu muttered under his breath, only to find a boy next to him glaring at him with bloodshot eyes. This boy was the one who had just threatened to beat him up.

"Kid! First, you impersonate a student from our First High School, insulting my school! Then you insult my name, this isn't over! To the arena!"

Long Mietian stormed up with a fierce aura.

"First, it was your teacher who put me in front."

"Second, your parents gave you that name, all I can do is mock it."

Long Mietian nearly stumbled on the stairs at these words.

"Get up here! I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Long Mietian angrily pulled out his staff.

Qiao Yu shrugged and followed, not too concerned about the early rounds of the point elimination matches.

He believed that with his current strength, he had at least a sixty percent chance of taking first place in Su City's mage class.

"Are you ready?" the proctor asked.

"Ready." X2

Long Mietian was filled with rage, while Qiao Yu seemed indifferent, even picking his nose.

After all, compared to facing a big shot like the Mechanical Empress, Long Mietian really couldn't bring him much pressure.

"Both sides, introduce yourselves."

"First High School, Long Mietian, Level 9, Apprentice Lightning Mage."

Long Mietian looked proud, knowing that the lightning element was the rarest and strongest among all elemental mages, its power not to be underestimated.

"Kid, it's your turn!"

Long Mietian looked at Qiao Yu with disdain.

"Fourth High School, Qiao Yu, Level 11, Beginner Tier Necromancer."
