Necromancer: I Am A Disaster

Yan Kuangsheng laughed to the point of tears welling up in his eyes, "Yes, that's exactly what I thought back then. The monster can actually talk."

Lin Moyu recalled his shock when he first heard the Archaic Earth Turtle speak. Afterward, he had assumed that only the most powerful bosses had the ability to communicate, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

Considering Yan Kuangsheng's status as a god-level powerhouse, his surprise at encountering a talking boss was telling.

Yan Kuangsheng chuckled, patting his scar, "This scar is from that time. I’ve killed countless bosses, cleared endless dungeons. The stronger the boss, the smarter they are, but this one... it was the only one boss I met that could speak."

Lin Moyu asked, "I heard no one’s ever defeated it."

Yan Kuangsheng scoffed, "Even I was almost killed instantly—who could possibly defeat it?"

A name came to Lin Moyu's mind, and he asked in a quiet voice, "What about the old man from the Chuangshen Institute?"

Yan Kuangsheng suddenly looked at Lin Moyu, his eyes shining brightly before dimming, "Did Bai Yiyuan tell you about him?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Teacher Bai mentioned him a few times. My sister is his disciple."

"Yes." Lin Moyu confirmed.

Yan Kuangsheng muttered to himself, "With that old man's standards, for him to accept your sister... her talent and class must be very exceptional."

"Yes, she is very exceptional." Lin Moyu admitted, thinking of his sister. She was probably over level 60 by now, maybe even approaching level 70. The gap between them felt like it was widening with every step.

A wry smile crept onto his face as he felt a pang of envy for her natural talent.

Yan Kuangsheng shook his head, "The old man is impressive, no doubt. But even he wouldn’t be a match for that creature. At least he couldn’t kill me in one hit—it would take two."

The usual arrogance in Yan Kuangsheng’s tone faded as he spoke of the old man. In his entire life, there were only two people he had ever truly respected: the mysterious figure in the core area, and the old man from the Chuangshen Institute.

Lin Moyu asked again, "Teacher, that creature must be a transcendent god-level expert, right?"

Yan Kuangsheng shook his head, "It's close, but not quite there yet. If we humans could produce a true transcendent god-level expert, maybe we'd have the opportunity to raze the Abyss. Kid, since that creature wants to make a deal with you, then once you're strong enough, head to the core area. The feeling it gives me is extraordinary—truly extraordinary."

Lin Moyu nodded. He had already planned to go.

With that, Yan Kuangsheng waved his hand, "Alright, it's time for you to head back. Remember to keep infusing murderous aura into the Domain Divine Stone. It’s been wasted in my hands for years—hopefully, one day, you’ll unlock its potential." ṙ

Lin Moyu understood the Domain Divine Stone was something special, but for now, he wasn’t strong enough to use it.

Yan Kuangsheng opened an exit channel, sending Lin Moyu out of the Bloody Land.

Lin Moyu still didn’t understand why Yan Kuangsheng chose to live in such isolation, but since he didn’t explain, Lin Moyu didn’t pry.

Lin Moyu had spent around 20 days in the Bloody Land. When his feet landed in the Human World, the sunlight and fresh air felt like a refreshing embrace, as if he had been away for an eternity.

"You’re out as well?" A clear voice suddenly called out.

Lin Moyu looked up to see Dongfang Yao standing not far away, a Grand Councillor by her side. Her aura had changed—no doubt from consuming the Bloodthirsty Python’s flesh, greatly enhancing her attributes.

Seeing Lin Moyu remained silent, his gaze fixed on her, Dongfang Yao felt a surge of displeasure. However, mindful of his status, she suppressed her irritation and asked, "What's your name?"

Though she restrained her temper, her princessly demeanor still shone through, her lofty attitude unmistakable.

Lin Moyu glanced at her briefly, then turned and walked away without a word.

Dongfang Yao frowned, "How rude. Just because you’re Mad God's disciple, you think you can ignore me?"

Lin Moyu responded in a low voice, "I’m not ignoring you. I just don’t want to talk to you."

Dongfang Yao was taken aback by his reply. She asked instinctively, "Why?"

"No particular reason." Lin Moyu replied, "I just don’t want to."

Without another word, he activated the Teleportation Stone and vanished instantly.

Dongfang Yao didn’t get angry. Instead, she turned to the Grand Councillor beside her, "Grand Councillor Zhang, do you know why?"

Grand Councillor Zhang, wise with age and insight, responded calmly, "This young man is proud. Being chosen by Mad God as his disciple means he’s likely a top-tier talent. Princess, while you didn’t lose your temper just now, your natural aloofness—something cultivated over the years—may have made him uncomfortable. He doesn’t dislike you; he simply prefers not to engage with you."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yao’s initial irritation dissolved. "That makes sense." She said thoughtfully. Then, she asked, "Grand Councillor Zhang, now that I’ve consumed the Bloodthirsty Python’s flesh and increased my attributes, what’s the next step?"

Grand Councillor Zhang’s expression turned solemn, "Princess, the Emperor's preparations for your class awakening are nearly complete. There’s only one final step left."

He continued, "For now, focus on leveling up. By the time you reach level 40, the Emperor should be ready as well."

Dongfang Yao stretched, accentuating her perfect figure, "Alright, let’s go level up. It’s been a while since I've been to the academy. I may as well make a visit."

...

Lin Moyu walked into the White God Courtyard. The courtyard was as peaceful as ever, an oasis of calm. Meng Anwen, with his ever-composed demeanor, sat quietly, his presence radiating a tranquil aura that seemed to soothe the very atmosphere around him.

Bai Yiyuan was absent. With his eyes closed, Meng Anwen remarked, "The Domain Divine Stone is quite a valuable item. It could be very useful in the future."

Lin Moyu, impressed by Meng Anwen’s seemingly boundless knowledge, responded respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Meng. I understand."

Meng Anwen added, "I assume Old Kuang gave you some Bloodthirsty Python meat, didn’t he?"

"Yes, he did." Lin Moyu confirmed. He then proceeded to explain Yan Kuangsheng's plan to Meng Anwen.

Meng Anwen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "Old Kuang's approach might yield the best result, but it’s certainly risky. And becoming a transcendent god-level powerhouse requires far more than just this. It’ll give you a slight edge, but it's no guarantee. Think carefully before you proceed."

Before Lin Moyu left, Yan Kuangsheng had echoed a similar sentiment, warning him to weigh the risks. The danger was real, but if successful, the benefits would be immense.

Lin Moyu, however, had already made up his mind, "I've thought it through. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If I don’t dare take the first step, there won’t be anything that follows."

Meng Anwen smiled, his expression showing a hint of approval, "Well said. In that case, follow your instincts. Your class awakening ceremony is nearly ready—Old Bai should have everything in place within a couple of days. In the meantime, raise your level to level 40, then come back."

Lin Moyu nodded. "Alright, I'll head out now."

Leveling wasn’t difficult for him. He was only 55% away from leveling up, something he could easily achieve with a few dungeon runs at the Dungeon Hall.

The Dungeon Hall was as bustling as ever, filled with students from the Xiajing Academy, all eager to grind their level. It was the perfect training ground, a paradise for those seeking to improve their combat power.

Dongfang Yao's arrival turned heads. Her stunning beauty, flawless figure, and noble aura made her the center of attention. Like a rose in full bloom, she captivated everyone around her. Although she was a student of the Xiajing Academy and had lived at the academy for a period of time, but no one knew her true identity.

Dongfang Yao scanned the Dungeon Hall and selected a dungeon suited to her level: the Water God’s Courtyard, a level 37 water elemental dungeon. At level 36, it was a perfect fit for her. The dungeon only had nightmare rank difficulty, which wasn't too difficult with her skills. All she needed was a decent party, and she felt confident she could clear it with ease.

Dongfang Yao had complete confidence in herself. She enjoyed the admiring gazes of the students. Her equipment, both elegant and functional, accentuated her natural beauty.

Just as she was about to look for a suitable party, the focus of the crowd suddenly shifted.

Someone had walked out from the teleportation formation, drawing everyone's attention.

"Why is he here?" Dongfang Yao murmured in surprise as her gaze landed on Lin Moyu.
