Chapter 854: Chapter 854

"Charge, don’t let them escape." With a thunderous roar, countless people surged forward.

Indeed, Du You had traveled all this way, but he wasn’t the only one. Along the way, many students from Capital University had gathered. Some came to watch the show, while others thought Du You was very impressive and followed him.

Even more people didn’t know why they had come; they just saw a crowd and joined it.

Now that they saw the enemy’s main force had taken a huge hit, this was the perfect opportunity for them to show their worth. And the best way to show off? Of course, it was by killing enemies—the more the better.

For every enemy student they killed, they would receive more credit rewards when they returned.

Seeing that Du You had no intention of competing with them for enemies, they swarmed in.

"Corpse Explosion, go to hell." A body exploded, instantly blasting two unlucky souls away.

"Shield warriors, push the shields forward quickly." Seeing a trap, they hastily shouted for the meat shields to keep up.

"Idiots, just follow the Demon Extermination Spirit, then you don’t have to worry about falling into traps." Someone with a quick wit followed right behind the Demon Extermination Spirit. Its name was no secret anymore.

"Great idea, brother. What’s your surname? How about we become friends?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

In short, it was a chaotic scene. Thanks to Du You’s pressure and the Demon Extermination Spirits, a sweeping charge unfolded. Du You wasn’t completely hands-off, though. Facing some organized enemy teams, Du You sent a Dark Flame Arrow Array their way.

The enemy’s formations couldn’t take shape; even the summoned undead were in disarray. For the first time, the Necromancy Academy had suffered a direct defeat on the frontlines against others.

More and more students from the Necromancy Academy felt the tide had turned and began to flee in droves.

In the rear, members of the student council couldn’t sit still any longer. "Let’s go, we can’t wait any longer. Form groups freely; we’ll push northward." Luo Yun stood up and spoke loudly to those around him.

"But didn’t we say we’d wait until everyone had gathered before taking action?"

"Shut up. What’s the point of gathering now when the enemy’s main force is gone. If we don’t move now, we’ll miss our chance to shine. You don’t want to retake the test, do you?"

This ’retake’ meant to test one’s strength—if their strength was sufficient, they would pass. However, such a pass would earn no rewards from the academy, and if one’s raw strength was lacking, they could fail the test altogether.

Now they realized the severity of the situation; continuing to stay put meant they had no chance to earn distinctions.

"Hurry up, or it’ll be too late."

"It’s already too late to go now. By the time we get there, the battle by the shore will probably be over."

"You fools, do you think those from the Necromancy Academy are stupid? Won’t they run? If they do, they can only go south, and we can intercept them. They have so many undead to block for them; escaping is still possible."

Indeed, everyone realized even if they couldn’t participate in the northern battlefield, hunting down those who were isolated was also good. Now, it all depended on who had better luck; the luckier ones would earn more credits.

Xi Qianxue helplessly got up, and Li Mengyao wore a bitter smile. They had never expected things to turn out this way.

They had thought that Du You would be deadlocked with those high-tier zombies, and that once their main force was assembled, they would join forces with Du You against the enemy. Who could have expected that those creatures would be so easily defeated?

It took just one fireball from Du You to clear the way. Had they known this, they would have set out with their people sooner. The uncertainty of this academy’s test was truly too great; it was frustrating.

At this moment, those watching the match from outside didn’t even know what to say. The hosts were also somewhat embarrassed—although they maintained bright smiles, they didn’t know how to continue hosting.

The folks from the Necromancy Academy were embarrassed by their swift failure.

As for Capital University, they were even more frustrated. Though they held the advantage, Du You had disrupted everything—no tactics, no formations, everything was a mess. This ragtag, bandit-like group was hardly a sight to behold no matter how positively one tried to spin it. But the hosts had no choice but to awkwardly carry on the commentary.

And so, an academy test battle was turned into a farcical joke by Du You. This time was even more extreme than the last: what was previously a magnificent battle had become a one-sided rout.

Relying on personal strength, Du You completely dominated the battlefield and vividly demonstrated the role of a high-level Professional on the battlefield. Personal power was showcased to the full extent at this moment.

After shattering the enemy’s team, Du You didn’t continue to pursue. Instead, he quietly cleared an area with the two sisters and enjoyed a peaceful moment there. However, the world’s attention was even more focused on them—these three really stood out.

The battle continued for over two hours, with almost the entire time devoted to chase and counter-chase.

After two hours, over two-thirds of the students from the Necromancy Academy had been eliminated. It was clear they had no power to turn the tides, and they were thoroughly defeated.

Even without Du You’s involvement, it would have been an absolute defeat. Finally, everyone heard the voice announcing the end of the test.

"It’s over just like that? Is this the fastest end to a final test in history?" Someone said.

"It seems so. There have been similar situations before, but never this short. And it was in the opponents’ home field, too. They gathered and didn’t run, which was their biggest mistake."

"It’s not exactly a mistake, who would forsake such an advantage and flee? No one could have expected it."

Du You’s performance was a bit terrifying—one person amassed the combat power of five tier-four fighters. The Unicorn Holy Beast was an absolute counter to the enemy, and then there was the wide range of powerful attack abilities.

This would frustrate anyone. "So Spellcasters can be this powerful."

"Powerful, yes, but Spellcasters require too much investment, or else I would have learned it long ago."

"Hmph, even though I’m not a Spellcaster, I will definitely make my son a powerful Spellcaster," said someone at that moment, and a Spellcaster trend quietly formed.

Many young Magic-class students, inspired by Du You’s powerful performance, secretly changed their career intentions. In the future, there would be many more Spellcasters entering the field.
