Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 71

"Ah... right!"

"Fourth High School, Yang Xiangdi, wins! Points +3!"

Yang Xiangdi's casting speed was so fast and his combo sequence so smooth that even the examiner was stunned.

Once the examiner snapped back to reality, he quickly announced Yang Xiangdi's victory.

"Wow, that chubby guy is impressive! His combo got my blood boiling!"

"Indeed, for him to dare dress so uniquely for the college entrance exam, he must have some skills."

"Look, that little Lolita won too! Truly, you can't judge a book by its cover!"

On the other side, Zuo You seized an opportunity and knocked a burly man off the stage with her shield, also securing a victory.

With that, the eighth round of matches came to an end.

There were only two rounds left in the first half of the college entrance exam's points elimination round.

"Old Hong, that chubby guy and that little girl, they're the students you mentioned who got direct admission to Beijing University, right?"

"Where did you find such good prospects? And you found five at once?"

The principal of Third High School couldn't help but ask.

In the past, Fourth High School always ranked at the bottom in the college entrance exams, occasionally producing one or two talented students.

But this time, five appeared at once, sparking his curiosity.

"Hahaha! What does it have to do with me? It's all the students' own hard work, all their own hard work, hahaha!"

Principal Hong Jianguo was beaming with joy. When the students excel, the principal shares in the glory.

"Hmph! Old Hong, don't celebrate too early!"

The principal of First High School snorted coldly.

"Our First High School has five students with eight consecutive wins, no less than your Fourth High School! It's still uncertain who will claim the top spot in Su City's four divisions!"

"Oh? Tai Xuezhen, how about we make a bet?" Hong Jianguo asked with a sly smile.

Tai Xuezhen was the name of the First High School's principal.

"What do you want to bet?"

"How about that bottle of Maotai you've been saving for twenty years? I've been eyeing it for a long time."

"In your dreams! Don't even think about it! I warn you, don't target my liquor!" Tai Xuezhen turned his head in anger.

"Well, if you're scared, then forget it. I didn't expect the principal of First High School to have so little confidence in his students."

Hong Jianguo feigned a sigh.

"Scared? Me, scared? Me, Tai Xuezhen, lacking confidence in my students? I'll take that bet!" Tai Xuezhen slammed the table.

"Alright, it's a deal?"

"A promise is a promise!"

"Hahaha, Principal Tai, you're generous!" Hong Jianguo was overjoyed, both inside and out.

Who would've thought that watching the college entrance exam could score him a bottle of premium Maotai? This trip was definitely worth it!

He wasn't sure how others viewed Qiao Yu and the others, but he had full confidence in these students.

These were the ones who cleared Nightmare Village on their first dungeon run and triggered a hidden quest, escaping unscathed.

"Just wait and see!" Tai Xuezhen was equally confident in his students.

With the intense atmosphere at the principals' table, the ninth round of matches finally began.

[Ninth Round]

[Stage 59, Second High School (Shi Shaorong) vs. Fourth High School (Qiao Yu.)]

Qiao Yu waited on stage for a while before a tall girl slowly walked up.

She had long, light blue hair, fair skin, and delicate features that made people fall for her at first sight.

The only flaw was her indifferent expression, as if she was untouched by worldly matters.

"Wow! It's Shi Shaorong from Second High School, she's so beautiful!"

"Yeah, if I could marry her, I'd break my ribs to make soup for her."

"Forget it, your ribs are too thin, use mine, my marrow is rich, very nourishing!"

As soon as Shi Shaorong stepped onto the stage, a chorus of admiration erupted from the audience, clearly showing that a beautiful girl never lacks admirers and simps.

"Contestants, please introduce yourselves," the examiner said.

"Second High School, Shi Shaorong, Level 11, Beginner Tier Ice Mage."

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

"Alright, introductions are over, begin!"

At the examiner's command, Shi Shaorong immediately raised her staff, preparing to defend against Qiao Yu.

In her assessment, Qiao Yu posed enough of a threat to rank in her top three.

After waiting a while, she noticed Qiao Yu hadn't made a move but was standing there in a daze, the two of them staring at each other as if on a blind date.

"Huh? Aren't you going to concede?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

"...Why should I concede?" Shi Shaorong's voice was as cold as her expression.

"Wow! Finally, someone who doesn't concede!"

Qiao Yu excitedly took out the Yao Guang knuckle dusters, and Shi Shaorong's admirers in the audience gasped.

"No way, is this guy planning to use the same method from the first round against Shi Shaorong?"

"He dares! If he dares to hurt Shi Shaorong, I'll fight him to the death!"

"That's too much! How can he use such a terrifying weapon against such a beautiful girl! Typical guy, so disappointing!"

It was as if Qiao Yu heard those shouts, and he put away the Yao Guang knuckle dusters.

"No, no, you can't use such a violent method like boxing against a beauty."

He hesitated for a moment, feeling it was inappropriate, so he took out the two-meter-long Orient Loong God Crescent Blade.

The audience: "……Σ(?д?lll)!!!"

Examiner: "……"

To be honest, he'd been an examiner in the mage area for over ten years, and he'd seen all kinds of mages.

But a mage who first pulls out knuckle dusters, then a large blade, was something he'd never seen...

Shi Shaorong herself was a bit bewildered. What did it mean for a mage to wield a large blade?

It was like seeing a giant panda in the wild wielding an AK47 Fire Kylin and shooting.

"Here I come!"

After seven rounds without a fight, Qiao Yu excitedly swung the large blade and charged at Shi Shaorong.

"Ice Prison!"

Shi Shaorong raised her hand, and eight thick ice pillars shot up from the ground, trapping Qiao Yu within, momentarily halting his advance.

However, such a level of confinement couldn't possibly hold Qiao Yu. He swung his large blade in a circle, and the eight ice pillars were instantly cut down.

Qiao Yu closed in on Shi Shaorong. Once he got close, Shi Shaorong would become a plaything in his hands, unable to resist.

Shi Shaorong was clearly aware of this. She kept her distance from Qiao Yu while continuously casting skills to hinder him.

But to her horror, no matter what skill she used, she could only trap Qiao Yu for a second or two at most.

The next moment, Qiao Yu would smash through and cut down the ice walls she conjured.

"You can't escape!"

Qiao Yu leaped high into the air, rapidly closing the distance to Shi Shaorong, and swung the crescent blade down at her.

A hint of triumph flashed in Shi Shaorong's beautiful eyes, and the corners of her rosy lips involuntarily curled up.

Finally, she had forced him off the ground!

She had been setting up various ice walls and pillars on the ground to force Qiao Yu into the air.

No matter how strong you are, once you're off the ground with nowhere to leverage, you're like a rootless duckweed!

"Qiao Yu, you're strong, but you're too arrogant. Your eight-win streak ends here."

"Eternal Ice Wall!"
