Necromancer: A New Era

On the vast campus of the Southern Alliance Imperial College, the annual graduation competition is about to begin. This grand competition is not only a test of the students' years of learning results, but also an important way for the Empire to discover and cultivate talents. At this moment, the entire campus is shrouded in an atmosphere of tension and excitement.

Since the rules of the competition were open to all members of the empire under the age of fifty, a large number of people gathered in the academy to participate in this grand competition.

On the rostrum, Principal Nord gave a passionate speech, his words were full of expectations and encouragement for the students. He reminded everyone that this competition is not only about personal honor, but also a summary of their learning career. He hopes that through this competition, each student can find their own position and lay a solid foundation for the future.

On the largest stage of the martial arts arena, dancers celebrated the opening of the event with graceful dance moves. Their movements were light and elegant, as if they were telling the vitality of youth and the power of dreams. The audience was infected by this atmosphere and responded with warm applause and cheers.

In the preparation area, Mu Xi explained the precautions of the competition to the team members in a serious tone. She was very serious about this competition, which made Tang Yue a little puzzled. He observed that Mu Xi was generous in previous competitions and obviously had no shortage of wealth or treasures, so where did she attach so much importance to this competition?

Mu Xi's words revealed her desire for victory and her sense of responsibility for the team. She mentioned that the individual competition in the next week is a stage for everyone to play freely, and she hopes that everyone can do their best to strive for good results. She also specifically mentioned that this year's rewards are very generous, which undoubtedly gave the team members a shot in the arm.

The opening ceremony ended in a clamor and splendor. Principal Nord's deep eyes revealed his absolute control over the competition. With a wave of his hand, a huge water curtain condensed in the sky. The water curtain was shimmering with a magical halo, clearly reflecting the detailed rules of this competition. The rules seemed to be endowed with eternal vitality, suspended in the air, silently reminding every contestant: the competition must be fair and the order cannot be broken.

As Principal Nord waved his hand again, thousands of magic elves flew out of the magic circle. They were like stars in the sky, flying towards each contestant with a mission. "These are the guiding elves of the competition. They will guide you on the road to glory." Although Principal Nord's voice was calm, it was full of unquestionable majesty.

Tang Yue stood in the crowd, following the dancing elves with his eyes, but in his heart he was secretly speculating on the strength of the old principal. The ability to easily control the huge water curtain undoubtedly showed the terrifying strength of the demigod level. The level and specifications of this game obviously exceeded his initial expectations.

As the competition officially kicked off, the atmosphere of the entire martial arts arena was instantly ignited. On the stage, sword energy and magic intertwined into a series of thrilling pictures. The enthusiasm of the audience was like a ignited flame, and cheers and shouts rose and fell, forming an exciting symphony.

Tang Yue also met his first opponent, a sturdy human wearing leather armor and with two daggers on his waist. At the referee's command, the fight officially began. The human man moved quickly, reaching out to take out two bottles of potions from his waist and slamming them to the ground. "Pah~Pah~" After two crisp cracking sounds, a large amount of smoke quickly spread, shrouding the entire ring in a hazy haze.

However, this sudden change did not make Tang Yue panic. He stood quietly in place, with a slight curl of his lips, revealing a sense of calmness and composure. In his perception, every move of the man was clearly displayed in his mind like a transparent scroll.

As the smoke filled the air, Tang Yue waved his hand gently, and a skeleton warrior exuding a powerful aura appeared out of thin air in front of him. Although the skeleton warrior was tall, its movements were surprisingly agile. Following Tang Yue's instructions, it quickly passed through the smoke barrier and launched a fierce attack on the human man.

The human man originally thought that Tang Yue would be confused by the sudden smoke and thus reveal his flaws. However, when he saw the skeleton warrior that appeared out of thin air, his secret joy was instantly replaced by fear. He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The skeleton warrior's bone knife slashed at the man with a sharp sound, and he had to hastily raise the dagger in his hand to block it. However, the difference in rank was vividly reflected at this moment. The seemingly ordinary skeleton warrior actually had the strength of the seventh rank, while he was only the sixth rank.

At the moment when the bone knife and the dagger collided, the man felt a huge force coming, which made his arm numb and he could hardly hold the dagger in his hand. Then, he was like being hit by a giant hammer, and the whole person was knocked out and fell heavily to the ground.

The skeleton warrior did not stop attacking at this moment. It followed closely with heavy steps, raised the bone knife again, and pointed the blade with cold light directly at the man's throat. At this critical moment, the man felt that his heart seemed to jump out of his throat, and the cold sweat on his forehead rolled down like beads.

However, just when the bone knife was about to fall, Tang Yue suddenly stopped the skeleton warrior's action. He didn't want to cause unnecessary killing in this game. After all, it was just a game. As the skeleton warrior stopped moving, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on his forehead evaporated instantly.

According to the magic elf's record, Tang Yue's score increased by one, and the magic elf next to the human man who admitted defeat slowly dissipated, announcing the end of this game. The audience watched this scene and cheered and applauded Tang Yue's wonderful performance. Tang Yue just smiled faintly, turned around and walked to the next ring, ready to face the next challenge.

In the following matches, Tang Yue relied on his outstanding strength and precise tactical arrangements to overcome all obstacles and his points continued to rise. The skeleton warrior became his right-hand man, able to easily deal with any opponent. Whenever the skeleton warrior appeared on the ring, it would always cause a burst of exclamations and praise from the audience.

Several principals were leisurely drinking tea in a large viewing room, occasionally discussing with each other which students had outstanding strength and talent, as well as the occasional talented young people.

"what?"

At this moment, with Master Mu Xi's light exclamation, several people's attention was drawn to her, and then everyone looked at a battle scene she was pointing at. It was Tang Yue, whom they had remembered before, and the skeleton warrior beside him.

The old elf principal obviously frowned. As a light elf, he was resistant to the power of evil, but as the principal of the academy, he would not show such thoughts.

"Undead Skeleton? He is a necromancer!" Walker exclaimed, and Mu Xi's teacher had not yet recovered from his surprise.

After a long while, she said quietly, "After several attempts to inquire, I found out that he was a necromancer. Why can't I sense the dark aura of a necromancer from him?"

Principal Nord obviously noticed Tang Yue's action of summoning skeletons. He was moved. No need for spells to summon? There are really some geniuses. In his cognition, there are two ways to do it. The first is to have enough knowledge of the spell of summoning skeletons, have in-depth research, find out the rules from it, and master it. The other is the so-called talent. Natural affinity, no spell formation, can be summoned.

Either way, it is enough to prove the excellence of this young man.

Inside the viewing room, everyone had different thoughts. They tacitly stopped talking and their attention was no longer focused on Tang Yue. After all, compared to so many outstanding players, Tang Yue's uniqueness was not that prominent.

Only Nord looked at Tang Yue thoughtfully, and his attention was even more intense.
