Full-Time Magister: I Am the Shadow King

Chapter 74 The King Standing Before the Army of the Dead

Hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's insults, the senior executives were all stunned; no one had ever dared to speak to them like that before.

Zhu Meng had learned his lesson before, so he didn't get angry over such insults and calmly advised her.

"Cheng Xiaoyu, calm down. This is the only way we can do it. Chairman Han Ji can't possibly commit all the remaining forces to this path."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu sneered and said in a deep voice.

"Since you made this decision, you shouldn't shift the responsibility onto others, especially ordinary people. You high-ups are clearly not trustworthy!"

Enraged by this barrage of criticism, one of the elders of the Magic Association roared at Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Kid, you'd better watch your mouth. What right do you have to boss us around? Believe me, I'll make sure you don't graduate from school right now!"

"Chu Jia, what did you say?!"

Ye Chang was instantly enraged, her beautiful eyes fixed on the elder named Chu Jia, already deciding to quietly deal with him later.

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from him, Chu Jia took a few steps back, but still spoke without any mercy.

"If you can attract the hatred of a large undead army, we won't need those ordinary people to die. The question is, can you do that?"

Cheng Xiaoyu pulled back Ye Chang, who was still about to get angry, and stared intently at the furious Chu Jia. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said calmly.

"How about we make a bet? If I attract the hatred of the undead that should be the responsibility of those people, then you'll take off your elder's identity."

"What is there to be afraid of!"

Faced with Cheng Xiaoyu's provocative bet, Chu Jia, who had lost her temper, agreed without hesitation.

"I don't need you to give anything in return, I just hope you can survive surrounded by the dead."

Seeing that the bet between the two was settled, the senior executives didn't say anything more. Even Ling Xi, as an elder, hadn't spoken yet, so there was no need for them to criticize too much.

Ye Chang's idea was very simple: she could take action at any time, and she firmly believed that her son could do it.

Only Zhu Meng wore a strange expression, feeling a sense of déjà vu about this scenario. He knew that if given another chance, he would never again gamble against Cheng Xiaoyu.

Ultimately, this bet, which no one cared about, was established under the watchful eyes of all the top executives.

"I hope you'll still be able to laugh later."

Cheng Xiaoyu glanced coldly at Chu Jia, then jumped off the outer city wall, where he was met by a massive, dark army of undead.

Sensing the overwhelming aura of death, he felt a strange sense of pleasure; he had never experienced such a strong necromantic aura before.

In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu is not a saint. He simply cannot stand the brainless behavior of those high-ups. His upbringing has made him unable to accept such things. You could say that he is supported by so-called morality.

As he watched the roaring undead army charge towards him, a surge of hot blood seemed to erupt within him, and the shadow behind him instantly expanded a full kilometer, even reaching the city walls!

"Stand up!"

As the king issued his command, the enormous shadow, like a black ocean, continuously emitted eerie black smoke, accompanied by several chilling roars.

That wasn't the roar of a normal undead, but rather a mixture of sounds from many different races—

"Undead—how can there be so many undead?!"

"This range and quantity—could this guy be a high-level necromancer? Otherwise, how could he summon so many undead?!"

"Holy crap, I've almost lost count. They're almost all at the Warrior General level, and there are even dozens of Commander-level undead—"

"Wait a minute, is he really a college student?!"

The sight of the thing rising from the dark ocean belching black smoke terrified even the high-ranking members, many of whom were high-level mages; their expressions varied and fascinating.

This number of undead is more than enough to fight off a demon tribe!

Ye Chang looked at the figure standing in front of the Shadow Legion, her beautiful eyes sparkling. Although she knew her son was very powerful before, she didn't expect him to be this strong. He truly deserves to be her son!

After recovering from their shock and calming their initial excitement, the high-ranking officials all looked at Chu Jia, whose face was grim.

Chu Jia's heart was in turmoil as he stared in disbelief at the shadow legion below the city wall, unable to believe that this was the ability of that college student.

This massive undead army alone is enough to torture him to death!

He couldn't laugh anymore. With so many people witnessing the bet, how was he supposed to save face?!

"Great! With so many undead drawing their aggro, we'll definitely be able to escort them to the Abyss of Fiends successfully!"

Han Ji was extremely excited, not only because of this, but also because he saw the hope for the future of China's younger generation.

"Brother Fan, is Brother Yu really that awesome?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaohou's words, Mo Fan came back to his senses, swallowed hard, and shook his head.

"I only found out now—"

He had always thought Cheng Xiaoyu was mysterious, but after seeing him, he realized he was incredibly powerful. He himself would have trouble surviving against Cheng Xiaoyu's commander-level undead.

"We must reach the Abyss of Evil; we cannot let Brother Yu's efforts go to waste!"

Beneath the city wall, Cheng Xiaoyu stood in front of the Shadow Legion, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his trench coat, calmly watching the undead army in the distance.

"Ugh—Fang."

Behind him, a massive, fanged figure approached, the [Greed Bead] in his hand gleaming with an eerie light.

[Song of Wrath — Song of Enhancement — Song of Giants!]

In an instant, Fang's body rapidly expanded and enlarged, transforming into a giant over twenty meters tall.

【The Song of the Fire Dragon!】

Fangya cast a spell, and a huge dragon head appeared above its head. It opened its mouth and condensed a ball of scorching fire, illuminating the surrounding environment with flames.

With the magical blessing of the Pearl of Greed, the Song of the Fire Dragon became even more powerful, and the crimson flames gradually turned into a deep blue.

The next second, Fang opened its mouth and a deep blue fireball shot out, its target the undead army in front of it. The intense fire made the air scorching and instantly cleared a wide passage three kilometers long!

"This...this is super-level magic, isn't it?!"

"No, this is even more powerful than a high-level fire spell. Have you ever seen a Gate of Inferno that could kill so many undead?"

Zhu Meng himself was a fire-type super-level mage; he couldn't possibly slaughter an undead army like this.

"No matter what, with Young Friend Cheng's help, let's hurry and break out—All mages, kill!"

Han Ji's voice was loud and clear. With a command, the forces that the ancient capital could send escorted Mo Fan and the others into the battlefield.

More than 20 kilometers away, the corpse of the mountain stands between heaven and earth, its enormous body visible even from the ancient city walls.

On its shoulder, a ghostly figure stood, gazing at Cheng Xiaoyu's figure from afar.

The woman's stunning beauty seemed to steal the show of spring, and her dark, deep eyes seemed to absorb all the light around her.

Her delicate eyebrows, like willow branches, were gently arched, adding a touch of liveliness to her face.

Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint glow, like solidified cream, as delicate as the finest porcelain, yet it gave her an inhuman whiteness!

The woman wore a long court dress embroidered with gold dragons and phoenixes, with gold and silver threads interwoven throughout, and a jade belt around her waist, exuding both nobility and tranquility.

Her court dress draped down, revealing a pair of fair and beautiful legs, like a peerless beauty stepping out of a classical painting.

The gold wire earrings dangling from her ears echoed her every smile and gesture, exuding a captivating charm!

Her beauty is like the most dazzling pearl, unmatched by anyone. It is as if it were a miracle bestowed upon the world by God, making people marvel and go crazy for her!

"That man—perhaps he's the best candidate to become the new king, hmm~"
