Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Shenxiao’s Strongest Newcomer Ever!!
Outside the arena doors, five figures approached.
There were men and women among the five, each exuding a powerful presence, and all were dressed in uniforms emblazoned with the Shenxiao Academy crest.
Judging by their ages, it was clear that they were not students, but rather, appeared more like teachers.
"Is it over? Why is it so silent inside?"
The eldest of the five, wearing a purple mage robe embroidered with gold Thunder Pattern Bagua, asked suspiciously.
"I’ve told you before!! To hurry up! But you insist on dawdling!"
"Who won, who won? Did that special admission kid win?"
"I didn’t even notice what his profession was, what skills he has??"
"If I had known, I wouldn’t have waited for you and would’ve come straight here!"
"Is there a recording? Missing it feels such a pity!"
Standing next to the elder in the purple robe was a young man in a black trench coat.
However, his demeanor was the most peculiar among the five.
Not only was his hair dyed yellow, but he was also twirling an automatic pistol in his hand, showcasing his skills as he walked.
In just a few seconds, he uttered seven or eight sentences.
Clearly, he’s an ultimate chatterbox.
"Shut up."
The speaker was someone dressed entirely in black, with even their face hidden beneath a grim reaper mask.
Their voice was clearly muddied and unclear; based on appearance and voice alone, it was impossible to determine their gender.
In stark contrast to the chatterbox, this masked individual hadn’t spoken word all along.
The one time they did open their mouth, it was to express annoyance and directly tell the chatterbox to shut up.
Walking at the back among the five were two individuals.
One was only about 1.4 meters tall, short and stocky, with a large beard that was almost dragging on the ground.
The other had a tall and slender build, wearing a snow-white robe, and their proud chest almost overflowed, their beauty enough to astonish everyone.
The five entered the arena.
The next moment, they saw a scene of chain corpse explosions on the main platform in the center!
This Tier Seven skill of the Necromancy Element, with only one corpse, the damage caused by the explosion is even lower than the Tier Five Fire skill.
It’s truly a shame for Tier Seven.
However, once the number of corpses exceeds ten, it basically equals the damage caused by Tier Seven Fire’s Celestial Flame Dragon Breath.
And now, over a hundred monster corpses were being chain-exploded.
The resulting explosion was akin to a nuclear blast.
A mushroom cloud formed from the black aura of the Necromancy Element even rose in the center of the arena!
Lin Yi knew from the start of the battle that he might not be able to win this match with a sea-of-corpses tactic.
His original plan was merely to test the strength of this Tier Seven skill of the Necromancy Element.
Unexpectedly, it was so overpowered.
"Ah—!!"
At the center of the nuclear explosion, Lin Yi could clearly hear his opponent, the berserker senior from the second year, screaming painfully and tragically.
Pain!
Excruciating pain!
Agonizing to the core!
Millions of health points drained in an instant, dropping to just one!
If viewed in slow motion, someone might have noticed.
Actually, not long after the nuclear explosion started, Yu Jingcheng’s health had already been emptied.
Now, it could be said that he owed Lin Yi dozens of health bars!
If it weren’t for the Barrier Law encompassing the arena, which absorbed a lot of damage for Yu Jingcheng, he would have already become part of this corpse explosion feast.
Lin Yi was also reflecting on himself.
Hmm, actually, he could have used the Corpse Explosion Skill much earlier.
Especially considering he could actively control the health levels of these necromancy monsters.
If he controlled their health in a tiered manner from high to low, with slight disparities in each monster’s health.
Then relinquished control at the same time, letting them become neutral creatures.
After which, using Corpse Explosion Skill on the corpse of one of the monsters.
The explosion of the first corpse would kill those low-health monsters, making them into new corpses.
Then, the chain reaction would accumulate, achieving a text-book case of desecration!
Yes, this technique could be used in real combat from now on.
Lin Yi fully realized the synergy among the various skills of the Necromancy Element.
There’s such a miraculous chemical reaction.
The black smoke of the nuclear explosion cleared.
Lin Yi was still standing unharmed on the stage.
Whereas Yu Jingcheng, who had been reckless moments ago, was now rolling his eyes, lying on the ground, his body still twitching.
"Unbelievable!!"
"Our strongest newbie has actually defeated the second-year senior with C-grade rating!!"
"I announce, the winner of this battle is—Lin Yi!!"
"He has also completed his ranking match!!"
"The final ranking result is—"
"C-grade 2678th place!!"
"This student Lin Yi has broken the highest record since the founding of Shenxiao!!"
"He’s the strongest freshman in Shenxiao’s history!"
"After completing his ranking match, he directly advanced to mid C-grade! Let us give him the warmest applause!!"
After a passionate explanation, host Xue Liang.
The whole arena erupted in applause.
Even if they had doubted Lin Yi before the match.
Yet the result of the battle was undeniable.
Standing in the arena was Lin Yi, and lying down was Yu Jingcheng!
"This newbie is kind of terrifying!"
"No wonder the Necromancy Element is a rare profession, who would’ve thought it’s this strong?"
"Did you guys see clearly just now, what exactly was that big explosion skill!"
"Aren’t skills of the Necromancy Element usually summoning various underworld creatures to fight? Why is there such a powerful large-scale skill?"
"I must pay more attention to this kid, the usual strategy for dealing with summon-type professions is to prioritize taking out their summons."
"Without summons, they are like beasts without claws and fangs, left to be slaughtered!"
"But now, it seems, even if you kill his summons, he can still recycle his dead summons as trash, which is a bit tricky!"
On the audience stand, countless people were engaged in discussion!
At this moment, the five figures entering the arena were also spotted by the attentive floor director.
The next instant, countless spotlights were focused on them.
Host Xue Liang even exclaimed in surprise!
"Today is truly a day to remember!!"
"A spectacular battle has drawn the deans of our five colleges at Shenxiao!!"
"Let’s welcome them!!"
Under the spotlights, the five deans made a grand entrance.
The young man with the yellow hair gracefully flicked his trench coat, turning his back to everyone, making an action he thought looked cool.
"So embarrassing..."
"God, why does our dean seem so juvenile!"
"You wouldn’t understand, this is called style, once you can GET to Mr. Huang’s inner essence, you can truly become a core member of our Houyi Academy."
"Not necessarily..."
In the audience, most people had completed college admission, and their reactions upon seeing their own dean varied.
The only ones feeling embarrassed were the Houyi Academy’s archery faculty.
The elder in the purple robe, leading the five, looked at Lin Yi and stroked his beard with a smile: "Not bad, I’ve seen your performance in the fifth round exam."
"Who would’ve thought you could even handle a Tier Seven magic of the Necromancy Element."
"Since Mr. Yang has given you a special admission opportunity."
"On behalf of the dean of Fu Xi Academy, I’ll also give you a special admission opportunity."
"How about it, Lin Yi, would you like to join our Fu Xi Academy?"
