Necromancer: A New Era

"Ding! Hello! Student, your current individual score is 96 points, and your team score is 0 points. Please keep working hard!" A mechanical voice sounded in Tang Yue's mind. This is the magic elf equipped by the academy, which can query various information of students in real time, including scores, rankings, etc.

“??? Why did you add a ding sound?” Tang Yue looked at the translucent elf that appeared in front of him speechlessly. This little guy always tries to take advantage of me.

"The magic elf will automatically add special effects based on your subconscious mind!" The magic elf answered seriously. Its voice was always so mechanical, but it could always accurately capture Tang Yue's needs.

"My subconscious? Are you trying to spy on my consciousness?" Tang Yue's aura suddenly changed. A cold breath emanated from him. A powerful aura burst out, shaking the facilities in the lounge into chaos.

"I can't spy on your consciousness," the magic elf seemed to sense Tang Yue's anger, and it quickly explained: "The magic elf will explore the needs of the students, which is called observing words and expressions in human terms. For example, you once whispered that you wanted me to add a ding sound when I speak, so I added it."

Hearing this, Tang Yue's momentum was retracted. He touched his nose awkwardly and thought to himself, "It seems that this magic elf heard me mumbling quietly." He glared at the elf, "Don't make such weird sounds in the future!"

"Okay, student!" The magic elf responded obediently, and then disappeared silently into the air.

After a match, Tang Yue sat in the lounge, recalling the battle. He sighed, "This elf is really a bit like a system, especially the mechanical sound and query function. If it could make a ding sound when it speaks, it would be even more like a system." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp "ding" sound in his mind, followed by the familiar voice of the magic elf: "Hello! Student, is there anything I can help you with?"

Tang Yue was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This little elf is really sharp!" He didn't say much, but just started to tidy up his lounge. However, at this moment, Mu Xi suddenly walked in.

She looked at the mess on the ground and said speechlessly: "Hey, what happened here? It looks like it's been robbed!" She looked Tang Yue up and down, as if trying to find some clues.

Tang Yue glanced at the messy tables and chairs and the scattered books, sundries and other things on the ground, and said lightly: "It's just a small accident during cultivation, it's no big deal." He didn't want to explain this matter too much, after all, it involved his personal privacy.

Mu Xi did not ask too much about this matter. She straightened a chair and sat down and asked, "Tang Yue, how many points did you get? I already got 20 points!" There was a hint of boasting and pride in her tone, and she was obviously very satisfied with her results. At the same time, she also wanted to know how Tang Yue's results were. After all, the two of them were among the two most outstanding students who entered the academy at the same time. If Tang Yue's score was lower than hers, then she could show off. However, when she saw the faint smile on Tang Yue's face, she suddenly felt uneasy, "Has he surpassed me?"

Tang Yue did not answer Mu Xi's question directly, but smiled and praised: "Amazing! Congratulations! You can challenge without restrictions!" His words were full of sincerity and blessings, without any irony or ridicule. However, this made Mu Xi more certain of her guess, "He has indeed surpassed me!" She felt lost and unwilling, "How could I lose to him?" But the facts were already in front of her, and she had to accept this cruel reality, "Tang Yue is indeed better than me!"

However, what Mu Xi didn't know was that Tang Yue had already scored 20 points in just the first day. His skeleton warriors didn't need to rest, and just ordinary skeletons were enough to defeat these low-level students. Moreover, he had a full 10 skeleton warriors waiting to be summoned in space! This was one of the reasons why he was able to get such a high score in such a short time. However, he didn't want to reveal too much of these things to Mu Xi, after all, everyone has their own secrets and trump cards.

"You have to work hard too!" Tang Yue encouraged, "With your strength and ability, I believe you will catch up soon!" His words made Mu Xi feel a little warm and encouraged, "Yes! I can't give up like this! I must work hard to catch up with him!" She swore secretly in her heart.

At this moment, the mechanical voice of the magic elf sounded in Tang Yue's mind again: "Ding! Received a challenge request from the opponent, do you want to accept it? Because your points are too high, you have the right to refuse to accept the challenge!" Tang Yue touched his nose, stood up and stretched his muscles and bones and said: "Accept!" After that, he walked out of the room, leaving Mu Xi in a daze, "The points are too high? Can I refuse to accept the challenge? Could it be..." Thinking of this, she suddenly realized something, "Could it be that he has reached more than 90 points?" According to the rules of the academy, as long as the student's individual competition points reach 90 points, he can refuse to accept the challenge three times! This is a very rare privilege! And this also means that this student already has quite strong strength and ability! Otherwise, it is impossible to get such a high score! Thinking of this, Mu Xi was shocked, "It's only been two days! How could he have reached 90 points?" She felt that her brain was not enough.

She caught up with Tang Yue and watched him walk towards the ring. She wanted to see how he fought and how he could get 90 points so quickly!

At this time, Tang Yue walked onto the stage, dressed in black clothes as dark as ink, with a majestic aura like a mountain. The host also descended from the sky, his voice was passionate, stirring up the excitement of the whole audience. Amid the cheers of the audience, Tang Yue's eyes became colder, and his gaze was fixed on the lion orc opposite him.

The lion orc was burly, with muscles as hard as iron and stone. He was holding a sword that was wider than an ordinary man's thigh, and the sword was flashing with cold light. He had been waiting on the other side of the ring. There was a wild light in his eyes, and a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already regarded Tang Yue as a sure thing.

Tang Yue felt a chill in his heart. He knew the cruelty of the beastmen slaughtering humans. Although he knew that they were forced to survive, he could not let go of the hatred of the genocide. He took a deep breath and walked firmly to the center of the ring, facing the lion warriors from a distance.

This lion warrior is not an ordinary person, but a leader from the royal family of the beastman, with unparalleled strength. Since defeating the human race, he began to travel the continent, enjoying fighting and taking pride in improving his strength. He is the strongest of the younger generation of the lions, and no creature has ever been able to defeat him. This time when he came to the Imperial Academy, he heard that there was a battle competition open to the public, so he came here excitedly, wanting to have some fun.

However, the battles of the previous two days had disappointed him greatly. He had won all 20 battles, but had not had a decent opponent, which made him feel extremely bored. Until this moment, he saw Tang Yue, a human youth with cold eyes, and he felt a long-lost desire to fight.

Tang Yue's eyes were equally cold. He had already made up his mind that he would not only win this battle, but also win beautifully. According to the rules of the competition, killing was not prohibited on the stage. He decided not to give the orc any chance to live, and to kill him right here, to avenge the humans who died tragically at the hands of the orcs.

With the referee's order, the fight officially began. With a flash of his figure, the referee disappeared from the spot, leaving the battlefield to the two fighters who were ready to fight.

The lion warrior grinned, revealing his white fangs, and licked the corners of his mouth with his scarlet tongue, while emitting an excited and violent breath. He liked to eat humans the most, and in his eyes, Tang Yue was just a delicious meal in his mouth.

However, Tang Yue did not surrender as he wished. With a wave of his hand, the little skeleton appeared in front of him. In the little skeleton's puzzled eyes, Tang Yue ordered in a deep voice: "Don't hold back any strength, go all out, kill!"

The next moment, the little skeleton's momentum suddenly changed. The soul flame in its originally empty eyes began to burn violently, becoming scarlet and hot. Under the effect of Tang Yue's blessing magic "Blessing of the Dead", the crystal bones trembled and sharp bone spurs appeared, looking extremely hideous and terrifying. At the same time, its bones became thicker and heavier, as if they contained infinite power.

The little skeleton stretched out his hand, and a long sword made of bones appeared in his hand. He bent his legs slightly downward, and after accumulating strength, he rushed towards the lion warrior with a powerful momentum! Although he was facing a Saint-level strongman whose strength far exceeded his own, the little skeleton showed no fear. Under Tang Yue's command and blessing, he burst out with unprecedented fighting power!

The lion warrior couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this. He obviously didn't expect that this seemingly inconspicuous little skeleton could burst out with such powerful momentum and strength. But he was a veteran after all, so he quickly reacted, waving the big sword in his hand to meet the attack of the little skeleton!

With a loud bang, the weapons of the little skeleton and the lion warrior collided fiercely, bursting out dazzling sparks and amazing air waves! Under this blow, the little skeleton was not shaken back a step, but stood firmly in place and started a fierce battle with the lion warrior!

There was an uproar in the audience! They obviously didn't expect that this seemingly unpredictable battle would have such a dramatic turn! Tang Yue's skeleton warriors could actually compete head-on with the sanctuary-level lion warriors. This was simply incredible!

However, the fact is that with Tang Yue's help, the little skeleton's strength has greatly increased, and it can actually fight the lion warriors to a draw! Its attacks are sharp and fierce, and every time it swings its sword, it can bring a cold light, forcing the lion warriors to respond with all their strength!

The lion warrior became more and more frightened as he fought. He found that he couldn't defeat the little skeleton in such a short time! As the strongest of the young generation of the lion tribe, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? He roared, and his muscles swelled instantly. His strength surged, and he tried to defeat the little skeleton in one fell swoop!
