Necromancer: A New Era

The martial arts hall, this ancient and solemn name, echoed in Tang Yue's ears, as if carrying a mysterious atmosphere that traveled through time and space. He stood on the high platform, and as far as his eyes could see, there was a wide arena with dozens of large and small arenas scattered around. The most eye-catching one was the huge arena that occupied one-third of the martial arts hall.

This ring, towering like a small mountain, was extremely wide. Tang Yue roughly estimated that it was at least one thousand square meters. He was amazed in his heart. This scale was much larger than any stadium he had seen on Blue Star in his previous life. The ring was surrounded by layers of spectator seats, which could accommodate 100,000 people to watch the game at the same time. Just imagining the scene of thousands of people cheering and cheering was exciting.

"This will be a battlefield between martial arts and law." Tang Yue murmured to himself, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

At this time, an elf-like teacher came from a distance, followed by a group of high-spirited students. Their arrival broke the tranquility of the martial arts hall and announced that a college competition was about to begin.

The teacher stood on a high step and shouted loudly: "Class 9527, assemble here!" Students came from all directions and soon formed a neat team. Tang Yue took a quick look and found that there were about people in this class. They were all in high spirits and were obviously looking forward to the upcoming competition.

As the teacher finished the roll call, a detailed explanation of the college competition began. The teacher first gave an impassioned speech, encouraging the students to move forward bravely and fight for honor, and then began to explain the basic rules of the competition.

"This competition is divided into a team competition and an individual competition." The teacher's voice echoed over the martial arts hall. "You need to participate in both competitions at the same time. The top three in each competition will receive huge rewards. In addition, there is also a comprehensive first-place reward, which will be a comprehensive calculation of your performance in the two competitions. The most important thing is, it will be the same as in previous competitions."

At this point, the teacher paused, and his eyes swept across the faces of each student, as if observing their reactions. Sure enough, when the words "comprehensive first place" came out, the students burst into exclamations, and it was obvious that this award had a special place in their hearts.

"The student who ranks first in the overall result will be awarded the honorary title of 'Newcomer King'." The teacher continued, "At the same time, he will also receive a special reward of entering the academy's soul realm to receive baptism from his predecessors!"

Soul Realm! These two words seemed to have infinite magic power, making the eyes of the students present sparkle with blazing light. Tang Yue was no exception. Although he had just arrived, he was also very excited about this mysterious and tempting reward. He knew that this was not only an honor, but also an opportunity to rapidly improve his strength.

"This time, there are also people from various forces in the empire participating. They will be your biggest competitors!" the teacher continued to explain.

The students began to whisper to each other, obviously not taking other people outside the academy seriously. Of course, people in society who had not been trained by the academy were nothing more than their rehearsals and stepping stones.

Mu Xi glanced at Tang Yue, wondering what he was thinking.

In the following time, the teacher explained in detail the rules and precautions of the competition, including the grouping method, the competition process, and the penalty standards, etc. The students listened with great interest, and from time to time someone raised their hands to ask questions, and the teacher also patiently answered them.

"Okay, students." Finally, the teacher clapped his hands and focused the students' attention back on himself. "As for the grouping, it's up to you to arrange it. The academy won't interfere too much. But please remember one thing: no more than two foreign players can be invited, and their strength must not be higher than the highest level of your team."

As soon as this rule came out, the students immediately started talking about it. Tang Yue nodded secretly in his heart. Such a rule not only ensured the fairness of the competition, but also gave students a certain degree of freedom and strategic space. He believed that in the next college competition, there would be countless exciting duels and unexpected results.

As the teacher finished his explanation, the students began to disperse, ready to face the upcoming challenges.

I believe that in the next few days, the entire martial arts hall will be filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. Students are either practicing alone or competing in teams, making final preparations for the upcoming competition. They are all looking forward to showing their style on the ring, and even more looking forward to getting the honor of the rookie king.

Tang Yue stood in a corner of the academy, the sun shining through the treetops on him, he was quietly waiting. Not far away, Mu Xi and Ainasha walked side by side, both of them with a bit of solemnity and expectation on their faces.

"Tang Yue!" Mu Xi greeted from afar. She walked briskly and soon came in front of Tang Yue.

"Well, it seems you have discussed it all." Tang Yue smiled and nodded, his eyes moving between the two of them.

Mu Xi went straight to the point and said, "Tang Yue, we would like to invite you to participate in this competition. What do you think?" Her tone was firm, and she was obviously very confident in this proposal.

Tang Yue was slightly surprised: "Me? I just came to visit the academy and take a look at the martial arts competition. I have no intention of participating." Although he was interested in the martial arts competition, he did not intend to participate in person.

"Yes! One person in our team can't participate, so we are missing one person. Your strength is at the same level as mine and meets the rules. I would like to invite you to join our team. As for the individual competition, it depends on your wishes." Mu Xi explained, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Tang Yue was silent for a moment. He was indeed very interested in this martial arts competition. It was not just a battle, but also an opportunity to break through himself. Moreover, he also wanted to see how strong these students were.

"In that case, I agree to participate." Tang Yue smiled faintly and made a decision.

"Great!" Mu Xi jumped up happily, her smile as bright as the sun.

Ainasha on the side was not so optimistic. Although she could feel that Tang Yue was also at the 8th level, most of the students trained by the academy were strong and had abundant resources, so Tang Yue would probably suffer. She didn't know why Mu Xi was so confident in Tang Yue, but she chose to trust Mu Xi's judgment.

So, Ainasha patiently introduced the rules of the competition and some hidden rules to Tang Yue. Her explanation was more detailed and comprehensive than that of the teacher just now, which made Tang Yue have a better understanding of this competition. Tang Yue couldn't help but look at Ainasha with new eyes. This girl's knowledge and experience were not simple!

After understanding all the rules and situations, Mu Xi was in a good mood. She left for a while and soon came back with two other students from the team.

One was an elf man with a slender figure and handsome face. He introduced himself shyly: "My name is Mu Jing, and I'm Mu Xi's younger brother." His eyes stayed on Tang Yue for a while, and he seemed very curious about this new team member.

The other was a dwarf, who was burly and muscular, wearing a jacket-like armor that revealed two muscular arms. He looked a bit rough and unruly, and spoke with a bit of disdain: "Big sister, is this human the replacement for the dog you kicked out?"

When Mu Xi saw that he had let the cat out of the bag, she quickly shouted, "Shut up! You idiot with muscles all on your brain! Gouzi couldn't attend because he had something else, what do you mean I kicked him out?" Her tone was stern, and she was obviously dissatisfied with the dwarf's outspokenness.

The dwarf was frightened by Mu Xi. He glanced at Tang Yue and said in a muffled voice: "Boy, I don't care what you are capable of. This competition is of great importance. Don't hold us back!" Although his words were impolite, they also revealed his importance to this competition.

Tang Yue smiled in his heart. Although this dwarf had a bad temper, he was a straightforward person. He responded calmly, "I'll do my best." His tone was calm and firm, revealing his confidence in himself.

Mu Xi noticed the strange feeling between the two and took over the topic.

"Tang Yue, his name is Muli. Don't bother with him. He may be slow-witted, but his strength is unquestionable and he is a reliable teammate."

She introduced the dwarf to Tang Yue, her tone revealing a bit of helplessness and praise. Obviously, she also knew this dwarf teammate very well.

Muli laughed triumphantly when he heard Muxi's praise. His face was full of pride and pride, as if he couldn't wait to show his strength. This scene made Inasha smile softly, and seeing Muli's narcissistic behavior, Mujing also smiled faintly.

"Then our team is complete." Mu Xi clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention to herself. "Let's eat first, and then gather at Arena 120 to get used to each other." Her words revealed a bit of seriousness and earnestness, and she was obviously full of expectations and confidence in the upcoming competition.

Afterwards, she gave a few more instructions before they left. Mu Xi took Tang Yue and Mu Jing to eat, and the three of them gradually walked away and disappeared in a corner of the academy. Inasha and Muli also left to prepare for the next martial arts competition.

In the academy's restaurant, Mu Xi introduced the academy's various delicacies to Tang Yue and Mu Jing. The three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Mu Jing was full of curiosity and expectation about this new member, while Tang Yue found everything in the academy new and interesting. With Mu Xi's narration, they had a deeper understanding of the academy and the martial arts competition.
