Necromancer: A New Era

As the competition progressed, the team members finally took an important step forward and all entered the top 64. The atmosphere on the field became more and more tense, the audience cheered one after another, and every game touched the hearts of countless people.

In the rest area where Tang Yue and the others were staying, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn. Mu Jing's face was pale, and he obviously had not fully recovered from the previous hard battle. He had used all his skills in that battle, even using three of the precious 9th-level scrolls, before he finally defeated his opponent and narrowly entered the top 64 of the individual competition.

"Sister, I may have to stop here." Mu Jing had a clear understanding of his own strength, and he said regretfully.

Hearing this, Tang Yue gently patted Mu Jing's shoulder and consoled him, "Don't say that, Mu Jing. You've done very well. Just do your best in the next game."

At this moment, the referee loudly announced the rules of the next round. The top 64 contestants would face off against each other, and the 32 winners would advance to the top 16. The atmosphere on the field suddenly became more tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the next game to begin.

The referee stepped aside, and Principal Nord slowly walked up to the referee's stand. He looked around at the contestants and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Excellent students, congratulations on entering the top 64. The upcoming battles will be even more intense, and I hope you can continue to work hard and show your talents!" Nord encouraged them a few words, then changed the subject and said, "According to the rules, the top five students on the academy's ranking list will directly enter the top 64 of the individual competition and compete with you for the top 32!"

As Nord finished speaking, five people walked into the arena. They were led by the Elf Prince Osman. They walked out with slow steps, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

Although Osman ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, his status and position made no one dare to walk in front of him. He looked calm, and his eyes swept over everyone present, as if everything was under his control. Evans, who followed closely behind him, had a gloomy face. Although he had always been dissatisfied with Osman, he did not dare to show any disrespect on the surface. In the empire, humans did not have much power, which made him only dare to bury his disrespect in his heart.

Tang Yue looked at the five people coming, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. One of the humans made his eyes light up. It was the human prince of the Southern Union Empire who came to the Kasmore Imperial College. He still remembered the generosity of the prince who gave him 64 gold coins. Seeing each other again at this moment, Tang Yue couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He nodded slightly to the man, and the man obviously noticed Tang Yue's presence and smiled deeply in return. At this time, Principal Nord spoke again: "Now please ask the top 13 players to draw lots randomly to decide your opponents!" As soon as the voice fell, a huge roulette wheel appeared in the air. Tang Yue took a deep breath and prayed secretly that he could draw an opponent that interested him. The roulette wheel was spinning rapidly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on it, as if they could see their future destiny from it. After a while, the roulette wheel gradually stopped, and Tang Yue looked closely and saw that the number displayed on it was 13. He sighed slightly and looked at Mu Jing beside him, but found that her face was even paler. It turned out that Mu Jing also drew the number , which meant that they would become opponents in the next game.

"Brother Tang Yue, I admit defeat, you save money," Mu Jing said calmly. Although he was a little unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to accept the reality with a wry smile and prepare to give the stage to Tang Yue. Tang Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "Haven't you always wanted to study my skeleton? This is a good opportunity, let go and fight, maybe you will gain something." Mu Jing heard a glimmer of surprise in his eyes. He forgot about this, touched the back of his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly. "Then please, Brother Tang Yue, let your skeleton be a little lighter, I'm afraid of pain." Mu Jing said half-jokingly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. Tang Yue's eyes flashed a cunning, and he laughed: "Don't worry, it won't hurt you." The two smiled at each other, and the tension in their hearts was slightly relieved. However, they all knew that the next game would not be easy. In this arena, everyone is trying their best to win. They are no exception, they can only do their best and strive to go further.

At this time, the arena was filled with a tense and fierce atmosphere. The audience also felt the gunpowder smell between the players and began to cheer for them, looking forward to the next exciting match. With the referee's order, Tang Yue and Mu Jing also slowly walked onto the field, ready to start their game. Although Mu Jing was ready to admit defeat, Tang Yue did not want him to give up easily. He hoped that this game would inspire more potential from Mu Jing and allow him to better understand this partner who has always been by his side. The two people's eyes met on the field, and they saw the firmness and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this game was not just an ordinary duel, but also a test of their friendship and trust. No matter what the result is, they will go all out and leave no regrets.

The other players also found their opponents. For a moment, the entire arena was filled with the atmosphere of battle. Every game touched the hearts of the audience, making them cheer and shout, hoping that the final winner would stand out and become the true king of the arena. As the game progressed, the intense atmosphere in the arena infected them, as if they had become a part of the game.

On the ring, the weather changed, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed like water could drip out. Tang Yue stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a pine tree. His body was actually a small skeleton holding a divine sword. At this moment, the small skeleton had shrunk back to its former size, which was exactly what it looked like when it first met its master Tang Yue. It liked this body shape because this memory was invaluable to it.

Opposite him, Mu Jing was wearing a green robe, like an elf in the jungle. As a life magician, although he was only at the eighth level, he had mastered the ancient life magic to perfection, and his strength should not be underestimated. He looked solemn, and after exchanging greetings with Tang Yue, he took up a fighting stance.

A hint of admiration flashed in Tang Yue's deep eyes. He was quite familiar with Mu Jing's magic. In this duel, he planned to take the opportunity to enlighten Mu Jing, hoping to stimulate his potential and help him break through to the Saint Realm in one fell swoop.

The battle was about to start. Mu Jing chanted a spell, formed seals with his hands, and four seeds wrapped in green light appeared in front of him. Each of these seeds was the size of a fist and exuded vitality. As Mu Jing finished chanting the spell, the four seeds shot into the ground in front of him like arrows. The hard floor of the ring was like paper in front of them and was easily pierced.

Then, a shocking scene appeared. Four towering trees rose from the ground, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and their canopies blocked out the sun. Then, under Mu Jing's control, the four giant trees turned into four majestic tree warriors, exuding the breath of nature, as if they were the guardians of the earth.

The little skeleton watched all this quietly without making any movement. It was waiting for its master's order. As Tang Yue's partner, it knew when to take action and when to hold back.

After Mu Jing cast this powerful spell, his expression remained the same. He chanted the spell again, and green energy gathered around him. Then, these energies wrapped around the bodies of the four tree warriors like threads, forming an indestructible barrier - the Shield of the Guardian of Life. This was Mu Jing's specialty defensive spell, and it had extremely strong defensive power.

Seeing that Mu Jing was fully prepared, Tang Yue finally spoke. He said to the little skeleton calmly: "Don't hurt that elf, restrain your strength and suppress it!"

The little skeleton heard this and had a hint of doubt in his eyes, but soon understood his master's intention. He looked at the tree warriors opposite him, his eyes flashing with eagerness to try.

"Go!" Tang Yue gave the order, and the little skeleton rushed out like an arrow. The sword in its hand danced with the sword, and the figure shuttled among the tree warriors like a ghost. Its speed was so fast that it was dazzling and it was impossible to catch its figure.

Although the tree warriors were powerful, they seemed a little clumsy in front of the agile little skeletons. They roared and swung their huge fists and branches, trying to catch this cunning opponent, but they could only hit the afterimage every time.

The little skeleton cleverly dodged the tree man's attacks, and kept leaving shallow scars on them with the long sword. It did not go all out, but restrained its strength as its master ordered, and only suppressed its opponent with skills.

As time went on, the tree warriors gradually became restless. Their roars became louder and louder, and their attacks became more and more frantic. But no matter how hard they tried, they could not touch the little skeleton's body.

Finally, in a fierce battle, the little skeleton found a flaw. It suddenly jumped up, avoiding the sweeping attack of the tree warrior, and at the same time, the long sword in its hand stabbed at the vital point of one of the tree warriors like lightning.

The attack was as fast as lightning and as accurate as a god, directly hitting the tree man's weakness. The tree man let out a shrill howl and then fell to the ground. Seeing this, the other three tree men rushed towards the little skeleton even more frantically, but they had lost their original formation and coordination and fell into a chaotic state of fighting each other.

The little skeleton was not afraid of the remaining tree warriors at all, and it shuttled between them with more flexible movements. Whenever a tree warrior was about to touch it, it could always dodge the attack by a hair's breadth and strike back.

The battle seemed fierce and thrilling, but in fact it was always under the control of the little skeleton. It restrained its strength according to the master's instructions, suppressed the opponent with skills, and did not cause too much damage. And Mu Jing also gradually realized the deeper application of life magic in this battle, laying a solid foundation for future breakthroughs.

When the last tree warrior fell to the ground, the entire arena fell into silence. The audience stared at this scene in amazement. They couldn't imagine that this small and exquisite skeleton could defeat such a powerful lineup of tree warriors. Tang Yue and Mu Jing smiled at each other.

Mu Jing raised his hand and said to the referee on the sidelines: "I give up!"

Then, he walked down from the ring. At this moment, there was no frustration or disappointment of failure on his face, only the satisfaction of growth.
