Necromancer: A New Era

The academy was in turmoil. After days of fierce competition, the top 100 competition had entered a white-hot stage. Every battle touched the hearts of countless students. They discussed and speculated who would become the overlord of this session and who would stand out in this arena full of strong competitors.

Tang Yue, a name that had not been noticed by many people before, has risen like a comet in the competitions in recent days and has become the focus of everyone's attention. His duel with the orcs, where the weak defeated the strong and reversed the situation, made the audience excited, and his name was repeatedly praised by people.

Equally eye-catching were Mu Xi and his companions. They brought their giant bear pets and pushed forward all the way, invincible. Every strike of the giant bear seemed to be able to shake the mountains, making people daunted. Their opponents often seemed helpless in the face of this brute force.

But the most exciting battle was the one between Muli and the young giant warrior. The giant warrior was several meters tall and had great strength. Every blow seemed to tear the air apart. However, Muli relied on his precise control of the details of the battle and his indomitable will to fight. He fought with the giant warrior to the end and successfully defeated him. At that moment, the whole stadium was boiling.

Now, the top 100 competition has finally reached the finals. The chief referee of the Education Commission stood on the high platform and solemnly announced the start of the finals. The contestants randomly drew number plates according to the rules. The odd and even numbers will compete separately to determine the top 50, and then the same will be repeated until the final ten are determined.

After the number plates were distributed, everyone looked at their own plates with nervousness and expectation. Tang Yue drew number 11, an odd number. His opponent was a handsome elf youth holding a spear. He felt a good aura from the youth, and he was obviously a strong opponent.

Mu Xi drew number 21, which was also an odd number. She breathed a sigh of relief, at least she would not meet Tang Yue and others in the first round. She had a clear understanding of her own strength. Although she did not expect to win the championship, she at least wanted to advance to the top 16 and win glory for her school.

On the field, Tang Yue stood opposite the elf youth. Judging from the youth's appearance and aura, he should be a young generation of the Muxi clan, with a strength of about level eight. Tang Yue secretly evaluated his opponent's strength in his heart, while also thinking about his own battle strategy.

He took out a long sword, which was slender and sharp. It was not a precious weapon, but just an ordinary long sword. But Tang Yue wanted to use it to test his fighting talent.

With the referee's order, the battle officially began. The elf youth wielded a spear and rushed over. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and the tip of the spear flashed coldly, directly approaching Tang Yue's vital points. Facing this fierce attack, Tang Yue seemed unusually calm. His eyes were focused, and under the coverage of his mental power, the elf youth's movements became clearly visible in his eyes.

He swung his sword and fought fiercely with the elf youth. The clinking collisions were unyielding. Although Tang Yue's swordsmanship was gorgeous, it was not exaggerated. Every swing of the sword contained his understanding and perception of the battle.

Suddenly, Tang Yue increased his speed. His swordsmanship became more fierce, and each strike seemed to be able to tear the air. He flashed and appeared behind the young elf like a ghost, and stabbed out with a sword. This strike was as fast as lightning, and people could not react at all.

The young elf sensed the danger and quickly turned around to block it with his gun. However, Tang Yue's sword was too fast. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't completely block the sword. Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce his chest, the young elf made up his mind and burst out with fighting spirit. The surface of the armor flashed slightly, and it actually blocked Tang Yue's sword.

"It seems there is something fishy about his armor."

Tang Yue missed the attack and immediately jumped away, preparing to observe before making a decision. He was not discouraged by the missed attack, but was looking forward to the next battle. The young elf had a painful expression on his face. Obviously, this defensive method was also very consuming for him. He knew that he could not use this defensive method frequently, otherwise, once his fighting spirit was exhausted, he would fall into an extremely passive situation.

The two were in a stalemate again. Tang Yue kept testing the elf youth's defense and attack methods, trying to find a breakthrough. The elf youth was also looking for Tang Yue's flaws. The two fought back and forth, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.

As time went by, the audience's emotions became more and more excited. They cheered for every wonderful moment, but also worried about the players they supported. For them, this battle was not only a visual feast, but also a wonderful collision between swordsmen and knights.

At this moment, Tang Yue discovered a flaw in the elf youth's movements. He swung his sword without hesitation, and the sword drew a beautiful arc in the air, directly hitting the elf youth's vitals. The elf youth was horrified and wanted to dodge sideways, but it was too late. Tang Yue's sword hit his armor accurately, making a crisp sound of impact. However, this time, the armor did not resist Tang Yue's attack like before. The long sword easily penetrated the armor, leaving a deep scar on the elf youth's body. Blood immediately gushed out, staining his clothes red.

The young elf screamed and fell to the ground. The field suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

Tang Yue looked at the elf youth lying on the ground quietly, without any joy in his heart. He knew that this game was far from over.

Sure enough, the next moment, the elf knight touched the wound with his palm, and a green light shone on it. The wound healed visibly. The next moment, he raised the spear in his hand and continued to charge.

Tang Yue's eyes narrowed, and he dodged the incoming spear with a flash of his body. Then he took strange steps, moving quickly around the elf youth like a phantom.

Seeing this, the young elf quickly stabbed several times, but Tang Yue easily avoided them all. In this tense duel, Tang Yue seized a fleeting opportunity, he rushed forward, his sword as fast as the wind, piercing the young elf's chest.

However, the young elf did not panic. He quickly swung his spear to form an impenetrable defense line. Tang Yue's sword collided with the spear, making a clanging sound and sparks flying.

Neither side gave in, and it was hard to tell who would win for a while. At this moment, Tang Yue changed his swordsmanship and used a unique skill. His sword was as powerful as a rainbow, carrying a sharp sword energy, and he attacked the elf youth like a storm.

But in front of Tang Yue's powerful soul power, the Elf Knight's attack was like slow motion. The next moment, under the swift attack, he made his resistance reveal a flaw. With a sword flower and a wave of his hand, he broke through the knight's defense again. Then he poked, and a burst of blood splashed. The Elf Knight turned pale, covered the wound with his hand, and jumped back to avoid it.

Tang Yue did not pursue him. Tang Yue looked at the Elf Knight with a hint of smile in his eyes. He put away his sword and said calmly, "You are no match for me. Admit defeat!"

However, the Elf Knight did not want to give up. He had worked so hard for so long just to prove himself here one day. The Elf Knight steadied himself and looked at Tang Yue firmly, "I will not give up!" He gritted his teeth, held the spear tightly with both hands, and prepared to attack again.

Tang Yue shook his head slightly and sighed softly. He knew that this battle was of great significance to the Elf Knight, but he didn't want to push them too much.

At this moment, an idea flashed through Tang Yue's mind. He decided to give the Elf Knight a chance to convince him.

Tang Yue said: "In that case, let's try another way to decide the winner." The Elf Knight looked at him in confusion.

Tang Yue continued: "Use your best skill to attack me. If you can hit me, you win."

The Elf Knight's eyes lit up, and he understood that this was the last chance Tang Yue gave him. He took a deep breath, concentrated, and began to use his most proud skill.

Instantly, the air around him became heavy, and a faint green light appeared on the Elf Knight's body. He waved his spear, and green light intertwined into a net, covering Tang Yue.

Tang Yue stood there quietly, adjusting his breathing and concentrating his soul power in his eyes. When the light approached, he cleverly dodged sideways and easily avoided the attack.

The Elf Knight refused to give up and launched several attacks in succession, but none of them could touch Tang Yue at all.

Finally, the Elf Knight collapsed to the ground exhausted, panting heavily, with a look of submission on his face.

Tang Yue walked up to him and stretched out his hand. The Elf Knight hesitated for a moment, but still held Tang Yue's hand and stood up.

"Admit it, you lost. However, your strength deserves recognition." Tang Yue said with a smile.

The Elf Knight lowered his head and nodded silently. Although he still felt unwilling, he knew that Tang Yue was a truly strong man.

The audience around exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect Tang Yue to be so powerful that he could defeat two powerful opponents in a row.

The referee came forward and announced that Tang Yue won. Tang Yue nodded slightly, turned around and walked off the ring.

Mu Xi and others rushed forward, their faces flushed with excitement. Mu Xi couldn't help but hug Tang Yue, and was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently: "Tang Yue, you are awesome! We didn't expect your close combat skills to be so strong, especially your sword skills, it's amazing!"

Muli nodded repeatedly and praised with emotion: "Yes, Tang Yue, your swordsmanship is really tricky and hard to defend against. I have never seen such a unique swordsmanship. You really opened our eyes."

Facing the praise and admiration from everyone, Tang Yue remained calm. He smiled and shook his head, as if all these honors and praises were natural and not worth his attention.

Mu Jing stood aside, watching Tang Yue's nonchalant demeanor, and his admiration for him became even stronger. He had always regarded Tang Yue as his idol, and now seeing his powerful strength and extraordinary demeanor in battle, he became more determined.

Amid the crowd's cheers, Tang Yue waved goodbye and escaped. The enthusiasm of these guys was really too much for him to handle, especially Mu Xi's eyes, which made him sweat coldly. He knew that he needed some time alone to calm down his inner waves, and he also needed to calm down and summarize the experience and lessons of this battle.

After returning to his residence, Tang Yue gently placed it on the table, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes. But soon, he cheered up and began to summon his own little skeletons. These loyal little friends have always been by his side, giving him endless help and support both in battle and in life.

After arranging the little skeletons to keep watch, Tang Yue summoned the heavy book of necromancy and began to practice the sanctuary-level inherited magic that he had just unlocked. His eyes were focused and determined, as if he wanted to engrave all the profound magic knowledge into his mind. He knew that only by constantly working hard and improving himself could he go further in this continent full of challenges and opportunities.

As the night deepened, the moonlight shone through the window onto Tang Yue, covering him with a layer of silver light and immersing him in a world of magic.
