Xiao Mei’s fireballs wreaked havoc. The ground was shaking and there was a lot of smoke.
All the fireballs were aimed at the assailant and his summoned beasts. After bombarding them, their figures could not be seen for a while.
The vermillion bird’s power was no joke.
“Xiao Bao, go!”
Luo Chen waved his hand.
Xiao Bao roared and used its signature skill, transformation. The cute cub turned into a fierce tiger. There were marks left on the ground whenever it took a step.
The white tiger roared and rushed forward. Since the smoke had not yet cleared up, Luo Chen could not tell what was happening. He could only hear miserable cries.
When the smoke finally dispersed, the assailant and his summoned beasts were all lying on the ground.
The battle ended in just a few minutes.
Luo Chen stepped forward and used his duplication ability to read the assailant’s memories.
“I knew it. He’s sent by the city governor’s son. After all, I’ve only offended one person.”
He continued to read the assailant’s memory for his target’s location.
…
“Why is he taking so long? He can’t even win against a brat?”
The city governor’s son was pacing around in his room.
“Young Master, only a short time had passed.”
“Silence.”
The city governor’s son refused to listen to any reasoning.
“Young Master! Dodge!”
The middle-aged guard pushed his young master away and took out his long sword. He cut all the vines that ambushed them.
Just as the guard thought it was over, they were assaulted by countless fireballs.
The guard quickly took out his shield. In order to fully protect his young master, he took the hit. His right shoulder was burned. The fire spread rapidly and in just a few seconds, his entire body was covered in flames.
Before the guard could even shout for help, he had already disintegrated into ashes.
The city governor’s son was terrified.
In addition to the fireballs, Luo Chen had also summoned an undead army.
Without wasting any time, the city governor’s son took out his summoning staff.
“Goblins!”
A horde of goblins appeared.
The goblins began to fight the zombies.
“Archer goblins!”
The city governor’s son continued to wave his summoning staff. More goblins appeared but this time, they were equipped with bows and arrows. Arrows rained from above and the zombies fell one after another.
After that, they shot in the direction where the fireballs were coming from.
The fight was quite even.
Unfortunately, the goblins could not keep up.
Soon, they were defeated and annihilated.
“Someone can actually take out my goblin army?”
The city governor’s son was stunned. He quickly took out his summoning scripture. However, before he could open it, a tiger pounced and mauled him.
“You’re too slow.”
Luo Chen appeared. He sneered at the city governor’s son’s corpse before leaving.
…
The city governor’s son caused quite a huge commotion. Although no one knew that it was Luo Chen’s doing, he was still worried that he might be exposed. If people found out, more assassins would be sent after him. He needed to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
“Luo Chen!”
Luo Chen did not know where that voice was coming from. He turned around.
It was a bunch of students.
‘How shameless. I don’t even know them. Yet, they try to act like they’re close with me.’
Obviously, everyone had their own reasons for trying to get close with Luo Chen.
“What’s the matter?”
Luo Chen asked calmly.
“We’ll be playing in the skeleton realm tomorrow. All three academies will be participating. Why don’t you join our team?” said a student with green hair.
“The skeleton realm?”
The skeleton realm was where Luo Chen’s undead army came from.
There were also other realms such as the goblin realm, the dragon realm, the elf realm, and so on. It’s also where the summoned beasts would return once they were done fighting.
‘Why are the academies sending their students into the skeleton realm?’
Luo Chen did not understand.
Everyone could see the doubts plastered across Luo Chen’s face.
A red-haired boy said, “Low-level skeletons and zombies do not have self-awareness. That’s why they listen to their summoners. However, powerful skeletons are different. They have intelligence and won’t listen to their summoner’s orders. They might even kill the summoner. Because of this, summoners would sign a contract with these creatures first. Offerings are needed before they would help you. That’s our goal for this trip.”
“Is that so? No wonder the zombies I’ve summoned were so weak.”
Luo Chen finally came to an understanding.
“Wait, you already know how to summon the undead?”
Everyone’s jaw dropped.
“Yes, why? Is it supposed to be difficult?”
Luo Chen waved his summoning staff and an astonishing number of zombies appeared.
“Woah!”
“Luo Chen, this spell can only be cast by those who are above level 10. What’s your current level?”
“I’m just level 2.”
Since he copied the spell instead of actually learning it, the rule was not applied.
“Luo Chen, if you managed to summon 100,000 zombies, you’ll be recognized as an undead summoner! It’s a priceless title in this world. I believe you can achieve it!”
“Undead summoner? That’s lame. It’s better to be a dragon summoner.”
The students continued to flatter Luo Chen.
Luo Chen knew that they were just putting on a show, but he did not mind it.
Sky Fire Academy’s Field.
Five hundred students were gathered. They ranged from first-years to third-years. There were also students from Tian Yan Academy and Sky Tear Academy.
However, there were also students who chose to opt-out. This was a good opportunity, but it was also very dangerous..
