138: Chapter 134 S-Class Beast Tide! A Nation-Destroying Disaster!

Lei Ting and Fang Yu looked at each other, took a step forward, and spoke loudly: "We forfeit."

"From the very beginning, we never intended to fight big brother Lu Yuan."

Fang Yu scratched his head, looking completely matter-of-fact: "Fight the boss? Isn't that just asking for abuse?"

Lei Ting shrugged, agreeing deeply.

After these words fell, the entire arena fell silent.

The referee teacher looked at the empty arena space and that lazy figure, his Adam's apple bobbing with difficulty.

"I... I announce!"

"The first place of this year's Star Academy entrance test is — Lu Yuan!"

"Second place is Lei Ting, third place is Fang Yu, ranked by the order of forfeiture."

Below the stage.

Xiao Yan looked up at the young man on the stage who was yawning and stretching, his eyes filled with deep despair.

"Flame Emperor Mage... Legendary Class..."

"I actually... could only barely break through his defense..."

Beside him, Temur and Zhou Suo felt the same, questioning themselves and the Legendary Class.

They had once been the pride of their respective cities.

They were geniuses in the spotlight, monsters possessing Legendary Classes!

They came to Star Academy with pride and confidence, wanting to prove themselves on this stage.

However, now, they were swept across the entire field by a single Skeleton Soldier, one slap at a time.

What was even more ironic was that the Summoner had been sleeping from start to finish.

He didn't even give any commands!

"Isn't the strongest state of a Summoner when the Summoner doesn't even need to make a move?"

Ouyang Yao stood in front of the crowd, looking at those dejected Legendary Class holders, and sighed softly.

"But this is just too absurd..."

"A single Magic Pet crushed all the geniuses."

"It's a good thing this guy is our boss!"

"That's right, we are all people of Baiyujing, the boss is mighty."

Ouyang Yao and the others were all shouting the name 'Baiyujing'.

On the stage, Lu Yuan rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked down at the Little Skeleton, and felt a bit speechless.

"Couldn't you have fought a bit slower? At least let me nap for a while."

The Little Skeleton respectfully lowered its head, "Apologies, Master, I was too impatient. Next time I will definitely pay attention to the rhythm and try to drag the time out until you wake up."

Lu Yuan: "?"

The Slime rolled its eyes from the side: "Coward, you just want to stack more layers of Heartsteel, don't make it sound so high and mighty."

Little Skeleton: "This is called being steady."

"Ahem!"

Principal Wu Long and Principal Kiran walked onto the stage.

Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, looking calm and composed with extraordinary bearing.

However, if one looked closely, one could see the corners of their eyes twitching slightly.

Principal Wu Long looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already churning with huge waves.

"Is this kid... really a freshman?"

"The defense of that Skeleton Soldier is already comparable to a level 50 Monarch Tier BOSS, right?"

"No... it's even stronger than that!"

Principal Kiran was also secretly complaining in his heart: "It's over, it's over, Lu Yuan's strength has completely surpassed the category of a student."

"With such a monster in the school, how are other students supposed to play?"

"And at his current growth rate, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in school for a few months before graduating..."

"When the Five-School Joint Examination comes, how can I use him to show off to the old guys from other schools?"

The two looked at each other, both seeing the same thought in the other's eyes.

What a pity! It's such a pity!

"Student Lu Yuan."

Principal Wu Long cleared his throat and took out a badge shining with starlight, as well as a scroll exuding an ancient aura, from his spatial equipment.

"This is your reward."

"Ten thousand credits, and — one Super-Tier Skill Scroll!"

Lu Yuan took the reward, his eyes lighting up slightly.

A Super-Tier Skill Scroll! This is good stuff!

Although he couldn't use it himself, his Magic Pets could!

"Thank you, Principal."

Lu Yuan took the reward with a smile and transferred the credits to his account.

Principal Kiran also stepped forward, patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder, and said earnestly,

"Lu Yuan, you are very strong, extremely strong."

"But remember, a tree that stands taller than the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"In school, we have your back, but once you leave school... you should still keep a low profile."

Lu Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, Principal, I have always been very low-key."

Principal Kiran: "?"

You call this low-key?

One person leading four Magic Pets slaughtered the Goblin Kingdom, and now one Magic Pet swept through a hundred freshmen...

You're not low-key at all!

However, thinking of the other party's identity, he didn't say anything.

The Lu family will naturally take care to protect such an unparalleled genius.

"Next, announcing the rankings."

Principal Wu Long waved his hand, and a huge light screen was projected in mid-air.

[Entrance Test Final Ranking]

[1st Place: Lu Yuan]

[2nd Place: Lei Ting]

[3rd Place: Fang Yu]

[4th Place: Xiao Yan (Dealt 190 damage to Skeleton Soldier)]

[5th Place: Cang Lang (Dealt 87 damage to Skeleton Soldier)]

[6th Place: Zhou Suo (Dealt 1 damage to Skeleton Soldier)]

[...]

Looking at this ranking, the freshmen off-stage had mixed expressions.

Xiao Yan looked at his fourth-place position, his face turning pale and then green.

"Too embarrassing..."

Lu Yuan opened the attribute panel of the Little Skeleton.

A notification sound came through.

[Ding! Congratulations, your Magic Pet, Little Skeleton, has reached 3,000,000 layers of Heartsteel!]

[Task completed: Steel Your Heart!]

[Effect 1: Triple the current layers of Heartsteel!]

[Effect 2: Subsequent Heartsteel stacking speed increased by 300%!]

"Hiss, so much?!"

After seeing the effect of Steel Your Heart, Lu Yuan immediately recalled his Magic Pets into the summoning space.

Subsequently, a dazzling golden light erupted from the Little Skeleton's body!

Its bones began to grow wildly, and its size expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye!

146 meters... 150 meters... 160 meters... 890 meters...

Its health points also skyrocketed wildly!

8.32 million... 10 million... 12 million... 14 million!!!

[Skeleton Soldier (Demon Variant)]

[Height: 890 meters]

[Health Points: 14,327,540]

[Heartsteel Layers: 9,000,000 layers]

[Ding, current height has reached the racial limit of the Skeleton Soldier, please increase the Skeleton Soldier's racial grade!]

"Holy crap!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but curse.

14.32 million health points?!

9 million layers of Heartsteel?!

890 meters tall!!

And this was only because of the racial limit of the Skeleton Soldier.

Too exaggerated...!

The Slime, Iron-Eating Beast, and Demon Pill also felt the terrifying pressure coming from the Little Skeleton.

Looking at the colossus that had grown to 180 meters, the Slime's eyes were almost popping out.

The Little Skeleton lowered its head, looking at its own pair of giant palms, feeling the surging, unimaginable vitality within its body.

It raised its head and looked at Lu Yuan, the ghost fire in its eye sockets burning more vigorously than ever before.

"Master... thank you, Master."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and nodded with satisfaction.

"However, I need to study the bloodline issue of the Little Skeleton."

Actually, this problem was easy to solve.

The Little Skeleton's race had already mutated, it just wasn't complete.

It just needed to devour more heaven-defying treasures with demon attributes.

Just at this moment, suddenly!

"Woo — Woo — Woo —!!!"

Sharp, ear-piercing alarm sounds suddenly rang out over the entire capital!

The sound was shrill and rapid, as if it wanted to pierce everyone's eardrums!

Lu Yuan suddenly raised his head, his brows furrowed.

"This is..."

Outside the villa, the students of Star Academy also ran out one after another, all with bewildered faces.

"What's wrong? What is this sound?"

"Air raid siren?"

"That's not right, didn't the beast horde just end?"

However, unlike the students, Principal Wu Long, Principal Kiran, Liu Hongbing, and other teachers all suddenly raised their heads the moment they heard the alarm, their expressions changing drastically!

"Not good!"
