I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 72 Dean Tie Chang appears, still using that same old, tired trope.

After the turmoil subsided, the Dragon Empire's forces returned home in high spirits.

"Those guys from Japan are hilarious; they were so scared that they ran away."

"The way they look at themselves is hilarious."

"So many professionals, and they were scared away by a few skeletons. What a bunch of useless trash."

"They can even challenge the Nightmare difficulty level. If they really fight to the death, those people from Japan are just asking for trouble. Of course they have to run away, otherwise they'll just be asking for trouble."

Many people turned their attention to Jiang Chen during the discussion. Jiang Chen remained silent, appearing extremely mysterious.

Strong, taciturn, ruthless, and possessing terrifying summoned skeletons—that's the first impression Jiang Chen gives to all the professionals.

However, the colder Jiang Chen appeared, the more curious the people around him became.

People whispered among themselves, speculating about Jiang Chen's identity.

"Where did this guy come from?"

"Could he be a student from some top academy?"

"That's unlikely. What would people from top academies be doing in a place like this?"

"Moreover, the students from those top academies are all busy leveling up and challenging high-level dungeons, so they don't have time to participate in the trials."

"That's really strange, who is this guy?"

"He doesn't seem to talk much, but his method of dealing with the shikigami just now was truly impressive." "Yeah, decisive and ruthless, much more composed than anyone else here, incredibly calm..."

On the way back, everyone felt relaxed and happy.

Although they failed to complete the trial mission, they felt satisfied with today's experience.

Even when they go back and talk about it with others, they feel that they can brag about this for a whole year.

It's satisfying enough that they scared off the Japanese team.

The Sakura Kingdom is nothing more than a tiny country. When did it ever dare to challenge the professionals of the Divine Dragon Empire?

Many professionals present felt that the Onmyoji with the cherry blossoms was fortunate to have sensed the danger and escaped early on his shikigami.

If he dares to act recklessly on the spot, this mysterious young summoner will definitely kill him without hesitation.

Bringing glory to the nation was the most important thing; the trial mission itself was secondary. Only Lei Ren's eyes flashed with displeasure.

He glanced at Jiang Chen from time to time, his eyes filled with both hatred and regret.

If he hadn't forced Fang Hongxiu back then, he too could have been one of the people who completed the trial mission.

But now, there are no more assumptions or ifs…

"Hmph, Jiang Chen, our feud isn't over yet..."

Lei Ren was filled with resentment.

The group left the light screen and returned to the mission launch point.

At this moment, Fang Hongxiu took out the quest stone and the Mermaid's Tear, "Turn in the quest!"

The quest stone and the mermaid's tear slowly rose into the air.

Suddenly, the phantom of the Divine Dragon Tower appeared in the air.

A beam of light shot out from the phantom and shone on the mission stone and the Mermaid's Tear in Fang Hongxiu's hand.

A few seconds later, a majestic voice echoed from the sky: "Trial mission complete. Returning immediately!"

The illusory image of the Divine Dragon Tower shone brightly, illuminating everyone.

Everyone was quickly teleported back.

In less than ten seconds, they were back at Qianlong Academy.

"We're back."

"The trial is over."

"Phew, thankfully we all came back safe and sound."

"Nonsense, how could anything happen during trials? Every year, the various academies hold hundreds of trials. Have you ever heard of anyone dying during a trial?"

“Low-level trials are not life-threatening, but students from those top academies, especially those at level 30 and above, lose a lot of their lives every year.”

"Of course, that's for level 30. To them, our trial is like child's play. They don't even care about that level of difficulty." Qianlong Academy was filled with laughter and chatter as everyone talked about their trial experience.

The most talked-about topic was still Jiang Chen.

If it weren't for Jiang Chen this time, they would probably still be in a standoff with the people from Japan.

It's hard to say whether we'll be able to snatch the dungeon from the other side in the end.

After all, the other party has an Onmyoji of a fairly high level.

Lin Cai'er's face turned pale again; the long-distance transmission made her very uncomfortable.

"Next time, we must find a place nearby for the trials."

"I won't go to places that are too far away."

Lin Cai'er lay slumped on the table, listless and weak, like a dead fish.

Fang Hongxiu smiled, and she relaxed after returning.

"Thank you."

"This trial is very important to me," she said sincerely to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating that he was welcome.

Lin Cai'er finally caught her breath. "Sister Hongxiu, you don't need to be so polite with Jiang Chen. Although Jiang Chen doesn't talk much, he's a very nice person."

Lin Cai'er and Jiang Chen hadn't actually known each other for very long.

But strangely enough, Lin Cai'er completely trusted Jiang Chen.

"quiet!"

A low shout came from the air.

Everyone looked up.

A person stood in the void.

Standing on the void, level 70, third job advancement.

Jiang Chen felt a deep sense of respect.

Once a professional reaches level 70 and completes their third job advancement, they can traverse the void and gain the ability to fly. This applies to all professionals.

Even if you are a professional in a lifestyle industry, it's the same.

Of course, there are also a few individual professionals who have acquired the ability to fly at a very young age.

For example, in Onmyoji, players can use shikigami to fly.

That's another matter.

"This is our dean, Dean Tie Chang."

Lin Cai'er whispered in Jiang Chen's ear.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

Any professional who can complete the third job advancement deserves respect.

It was mentioned in high school textbooks that the third degree is extremely difficult.

Less than one percent of professionals can complete the third job advancement.

Such a person is naturally worthy of respect. As for someone like Hong Shen, they are extremely rare.

Only a handful can come out of the whole country.

Dean Tie Chang's gaze swept over everyone, and he was very satisfied.

"This trial has ended, and the process and results are currently being analyzed."

"The final results will be sent to your communicators later."

"You must remember that the most important thing about the trial is not the result, but the process."

"Enjoy the process, eliminate fear, and maintain the belief in victory. This is the purpose of the trial. Being able to complete the trial without casualties and return safely is more important than anything else."

"It is said that you encountered professionals from the Sakura Country during this trial."

"We will analyze the specific situation."

"Those who perform well will naturally have the opportunity to enter top colleges."

"Now you should get some rest."

After Dean Tie Chang finished speaking, she turned and left.

Lin Cai'er let out a long sigh: "Every time it's the same old chicken soup, the same old stuff, can't you come up with something new?"

Fang Hongxiu smiled, as if coaxing a child: "Just listen to it, consider it encouragement."

Lin Cai'er snorted: "There's no need for encouragement. You always use top academies to lure people in. What's so great about that?"

Fang Hongxiu laughed even more happily: "It's nothing special to you, but it's different to us."

Lin Cai'er fell silent; she knew Fang Hongxiu desperately wanted to get into a top academy.

Even within Shenlong University, there are significant differences between ordinary students, students from various colleges, and students from top colleges.

Whether they are ordinary students or students from various colleges, everyone is proud to join a top college.

Fang Hongxiu divided up the loot from this dungeon run.

Jiang Chen also took out what he had obtained later.

Although the last two rounds were completed by him and Lin Cai'er.

However, he insisted that everyone was on the same team and that the spoils must be split equally.

After dividing the spoils, Lin Cai'er and Jiang Chen went to the Imperial Exchange together.

Jiang Chen had no use for these things and planned to sell them for gold coins.

Lin Cai'er didn't care about money at all. She even gave her share to Jiang Chen, saying that she didn't have room in her storage space.

No one would believe that reason.

The storage space is quite large, so how could there be no place to put it?

Jiang Chen didn't refuse her kindness and accepted it all.

After this incident, the relationship between the two seemed to have changed somewhat; some things were no longer worth dwelling on. They sold all the useless silver equipment at the Imperial Exchange.

This dungeon dropped a silver-tier Mermaid Queen Dagger.

Jiang Chen originally intended to give the dagger to Lin Cai'er.

Lin Cai'er, however, took out an even better dagger and waved it in front of Jiang Chen.

Both are Silver-tier, but the Silver-tier ...

Black Iron grade corresponds to levels 10 and below.

Bronze equipment is used between levels 10 and 20.

After reaching level 20, you can switch to stronger silver-grade equipment.

Even among silver equipment, the best and worst silver equipment have significantly different attributes.

The Mermaid Queen is a level 24 boss, and the dungeon is only level 20. The silver-grade weapons she drops have only average stats. The only advantage is that the Mermaid Queen's weapons have a pretty appearance.

Silver-grade weapons are priced between 5 and 20 in the Imperial Exchange.

The Mermaid Queen's weapons are generally priced around 7.

Jiang Chen sold the two Mermaid Queen weapons and, together with the materials he obtained this time, got 18 gold coins.

"Don't you need a weapon?" Lin Cai'er asked, seeing that Jiang Chen's hands were empty.

There was originally another magic book, but Jiang Chen found it troublesome and sold it.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "It won't work on me."

His profession is a necromancer. Although it is a magic-based profession, neither staves nor spellbooks have any effect on his skill bonuses.

Jiang Chen felt that perhaps his profession had its own special equipment.

That small amount of mental boost is indeed of little use.

Lin Cai'er said "Oh," and then said, "You need to save more money and buy more beginner skill scrolls."

"Before you change jobs to the second job, you need to learn all the basic job skills."

Jiang Chen listened attentively. He didn't know this knowledge, but Lin Cai'er knew it better than him. Lin Cai'er transformed into Teacher Lin, giving him earnest instruction.

"If you don't learn all the basic skills, you'll only be able to use intermediate skill scrolls after your second job advancement."

"If I awaken another basic skill later, it will be a waste of the intermediate skill scroll."

After listening to Lin Cai'er's explanation, Jiang Chen understood.

Intermediate skill scrolls can also awaken basic skills.

The two are a hundred times more expensive. If you use an intermediate skill scroll but awaken a basic skill instead, you'll be truly wronged. Jiang Chen's communicator suddenly rang.

After the call was connected, a dignified voice came from the communicator.

"Jiang Chen, come to the Academic Affairs Office."

Jiang Chen was taken aback by how quickly it happened.
