Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 127: Heading to Dragon Academy

“Little guy, the Holy Light Prison can only be maintained for a year, after which it automatically dissipates. I reckon you won’t need a year to gain the strength to suppress these ghosts and establish the contract, right?”

Using Wokou’s stuff to fetch a good price—this profit without investment made the old man feel refreshed, so he couldn’t help but offer a reminder.

“Senior, rest assured, it won’t take a year.”

Zi Liyuan still had that self-confidence; in fact, he even thought that he didn’t even need half a year to suppress the five ghosts and complete their enslavement contract.

“As expected of the national college entrance examination top scorer, now just enjoy this journey ahead.”

The little old man nodded in satisfaction, then vanished in a flash.

“This senior really knows how to be generous with other people’s money,” Fan Yuer muttered, but her eyes were glued to Lao Tie, especially the eight spikes protruding from his back.

In the brief exchange just now, this puppet creature had killed a Fourth Order powerhouse within seconds, a display of strength that made their eyes shine.

Being just a Second Order LV46, Zi Liyuan already possessed a puppet summon capable of frontally taking down Fourth Order powerhouses, which left them with hearts pounding.

They were willing to follow him initially because they signed the Boundary Sea Contract after the transaction, although there was some reluctance in their hearts, and they even considered the possibility of leaving him in the future.

But people are always drawn to power, and the way Zi Liyuan effortlessly resolved crises, combined with his suave and handsome demeanor, was like a seed silently planted in their hearts, just waiting to take root and bloom.

As for Shen Yurou, she was already used to such oddities. In the military examination instance, she had witnessed firsthand how this freak swept away so many bosses, even single-handed defeating an Epic Boss and slaying it.

In the real world, killing a Fourth Order powerhouse—how was that a big deal? Was the female assassin they just encountered stronger than the Spider Queen?

In the following days, Zi Liyuan and the girls began to truly enjoy themselves.

As for how to clean up the Wokou mess on the floating airship, it was completely irrelevant to them.

After attacking for several hours and finding the airship’s shield impenetrable, the twin-headed black eagles reluctantly cried out and withdrew with an army of bird monsters.

Three days passed in a flash, and aside from a small stir caused internally by Wokou, no accidents occurred, and the floating airship successfully arrived at the Capital of the Holy Dragon Province.

During these three days of flight, Zi Liyuan also saw the differences between this world and Earth in his previous life.

Aside from the towns built by humankind, the deep forests were teeming with monsters, and the skies were not dominated by humans, but by vast groups of flying monsters.

In three days, the floating airship was attacked by flying monsters five times, not only in large numbers but also including several Fourth Order hero-level boss flying creatures.

However, the protective shield of the airship was genuinely strong, facing hours of continuous assaults from Fourth Order flying creatures without showing the slightest fluctuation.

This made both Zi Liyuan and Shen Yurou very eager to dismantle the floating airship to examine it thoroughly.

Unfortunately, the floating airship is a strategic item, not something they could get their hands on at this stage.

“Let’s go, head straight for the largest hotel and book a presidential suite, then Fan Yuer and you three sisters rest here. Xiao Yurou and I will first go to the Dragon Academy to participate in the assessment.”

Every year from June 1, the Awakening Reassignment Day, until July 1, all graduates with invitations from the Nine Great Divine States Academy can participate in their respective academy’s assessment in real time.

Graduates who have not received an invitation card can still qualify for the Nine Great Divine States Academy assessment if they perform well in the national college entrance examination on June 7, such as ranking in the top ten thousand nationwide or top one thousand in their province.”

As for whether you can pass the assessment and be selected by one of the Nine Great Divine States Academy, that depends on your assessment results.

After all, the Nine Great Divine States Academy only has a fixed enrollment quota of ten thousand each year, with nine thousand combat roles and one thousand non-combat roles.

Whether there will be additional enrollment quotas, that’s not something Zi Liyuan and the others would know.

However, he thought about the enrollment situation of key schools on Earth in his previous life, and there must be extra enrollment quotas.

After all, in a world where strength is revered, there are certainly not a few privileged classes, and if they want to squeeze someone in, it must not be difficult to do so with a certain price.

This made Zi Liyuan immediately think of four unreliable guys; if the four great royal families wanted to squeeze someone in, it shouldn’t be much of a problem, right?

After settling down Fan Yuer and her three sisters and leaving them a bank card, Zi Liyuan took Shen Yurou to Dragon Academy.

The vast Capital of the Holy Dragon Province is divided into nine areas, with Dragon Academy located on the edge of the northern district of the city.

On the hundred-meter-high city wall of the northern district, there is a huge spatial portal, above which hangs a golden plaque inscribed with the words “Dragon Academy.”

The entire academy is actually built within a dimensional space!

At this moment, the spatial portal is shrouded in a net of light, sealing off the passage in and out, and in front of the portal, there are ten tables with ten teachers wearing the Dragon Academy’s standard teacher attire seated behind them.

With the college entrance examination having ended just a few days ago, there are not many new graduates coming to Dragon Academy for assessment, and at the moment, the ten teachers are leisurely cracking seeds and chatting.

Zi Liyuan and Shen Yurou went straight up to a teacher who looked remarkably like the character Bald Qiang.

“Teacher, I’d like to register for the Dragon Academy assessment.”

“Please present your identity card.”

Handing over his identity card, the teacher took it and swiped it on a palm-sized device nearby.

[Beep, identity check, Zi Liyuan, national college entrance examination top scorer.]

Amidst the mechanical broadcast, the ten teachers who were chatting and cracking seeds suddenly turned their heads and looked over, their eyes blazing with intense enthusiasm.

“Unexpectedly, the national college entrance examination top scorer of this year has come to the academy so early. Come, Zi Liyuan, please drop your first blood on this detector.”

The teacher resembling Bald Qiang threw away his seeds and enthusiastically pulled out a detector, extending it towards Zi Liyuan, indicating for him to drop a bead of blood into a groove.

“What is this?”

In a supernatural world, the uses of blood are far too extensive, especially when it falls into the hands of some evil forces, it might bring oneself super big trouble; for instance, some curse-based techniques can be performed using blood.

“Please rest assured, Zi Liyuan, this is just for confirming your identity.”

Having concerns is normal, so the teacher resembling Bald Qiang briefly explained.

“Okay.”

Nodding, he extended his index finger and, with Spiritual Power running through his body, forced a drop of blood out from the fingertip onto the tester.

[Beep, blood lock monitoring in progress, identity verification in progress, target confirmation in progress… Zi Liyuan, from White Crane City of Jiangnan Province, the national college entrance examination top scorer of this year.]
