Hearing Principal Zhang Fengyu's words, the surrounding teachers and students fell silent and held their breaths as they looked at Lu Yan.
After all, Lu Yan had cleared the level so ridiculously, making everyone curious as to why he was able to do that.
Looking at the gazes of the surrounding teachers and students, Lu Yan fell silent as he pondered over Principal Zhang Fengyu's question.
He could not say that he had awakened the hidden profession, the undead monarch, a second time and relied on the talent of an undead monarch to pass, right?
Although he did not have to hide his strength, Lu Yan did not want to expose his hidden profession as an undead monarch yet. After all, he had yet to grow up.
At this moment, Wang Mude walked over and said, "Needless to say, of course it's talent."
"Didn't you see? Lu Yan obtained the Skeleton Soldier Skill Book. However, after learning it and entering the secret realm, he comprehended it and it became a Skeleton Elite. This is enough for us to see Lu Yan's talent in undead power."
"The extremely defensive armor that appeared behind and the black scythe at the end must also be the undead power Lu Yan comprehended."
"Although necromancers have very few skills, Lu Yan's talent in undead power can be said to be unprecedented. He will definitely become the strongest necromancer in the future. Perhaps he can revive the necromancer profession."
Wang Mude had a confident expression, as if he had long seen through the reason why Lu Yan was so powerful.
Hearing Wang Mude's words, the surrounding teachers and students nodded in agreement.
That was indeed the case. It could only be explained by his talent in undead power.
After all, they had clearly seen the Skeleton Soldier skill become the Skeleton Elite skill. Three days after Lu Yan awakened his combat profession, he had comprehended two powerful undead skills. No wonder he chose the nightmare level difficulty.
This was confidence in his own strength.
Lu Yan looked at Wang Mude and then smiled. "I just happened to comprehend two powerful undead skills. I was also quite lucky to clear the nightmare level this time."
Although Lu Yan was being humble, the surrounding teachers and students still praised him.
After completing the university entrance examination, it would take three days for the results to be released.
At that time, the various rewards would also be distributed.
Zhang Fengyu knew that Lu Yan was definitely in the top three in the entire province, so he gave Lu Yan the school's reward in advance.
Five essence tonics and three million energy coins.
Energy coins were a higher level currency. One energy coin was equivalent to ten yuan. However, some things could only be bought with energy coins.
Three million energy coins was equivalent to thirty million basic currency.
This was the highest reward of the Fourth High School's university entrance examination. Zhang Fengyu was certain that Lu Yan would be the first in the entire school, and there was no doubt about it.
Therefore, there was no problem with giving it to him in advance.
Lu Yan received the reward and did not wait for Yang Wei. Instead, he opened his phone that had been turned off because of the university entrance examination and prepared to call Luo Liuli to tell her the good news.
However, just as he turned on his phone, Lu Yan saw several missed calls. They were all from Director Huang of the People's Hospital.
Why would Director Huang suddenly call him? The medical fees shouldn't be used up so quickly, right?
Lu Yan frowned slightly and called back.
"Hello? Lu Yan? I couldn't get through to your phone just now. Something happened to Luo Liuli. Come to the hospital as soon as possible."
Director Huang's voice was somewhat anxious. After saying that, he hung up.
Lu Yan's body froze before he suddenly rushed out of the principal's office.
Zhang Fengyu was stunned for a moment before realizing that something might have happened to Lu Yan. He hurriedly chased after him.
The current Lu Yan was in high demand in the Fourth High School. Nothing could happen to him.
Lu Yan rushed out of the school and stood by the roadside to stop a car anxiously.
At this moment, a black car stopped in front of Lu Yan.
Zhang Fengyu rolled down the window and looked at Lu Yan. "Lu Yan, what happened? Where are you going? Why don't you get in?"
Lu Yan did not speak and directly got into the car. He looked at Zhang Fengyu and said, "Principal, go to the city center hospital. It's best if you can hurry."
Seeing Lu Yan's anxious expression, Zhang Fengyu did not waste his breath and directly stepped on the accelerator towards the city center hospital.
In ten minutes, Zhang Fengyu rushed to the People's Hospital.
Lu Yan opened the car door and rushed in.
Zhang Fengyu hurriedly followed behind.
Soon, Lu Yan arrived at Luo Liuli's ward, but he did not see Luo Liuli.
"Lu Yan! Over here!"
Director Huang's voice sounded from the side. He was standing at the entrance of the emergency room not far away and waving.
Lu Yan looked at the emergency room where there was an ongoing surgery and his heart suddenly sank.
Lu Yan grabbed Director Huang's wrist and asked, "Director Huang, what happened? Where's my sister?"
Director Huang frowned and said, "At eleven this morning, when the nurse went to change your sister's dressing, she discovered that your sister was unconscious and her body was covered in blood and injuries. She was hurriedly sent to the emergency room for emergency treatment."
"What?!" Lu Yan said angrily, "How could this be? Isn't this a hospital? How could something happen to my sister?"
Director Huang hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious. This matter has nothing to do with our hospital. After checking the surveillance cameras, we learned that a masked man entered your sister's ward and destroyed the camera inside. He should be the one who did this!"
"This is also your negligence! How can a stranger enter my sister's ward?!" Lu Yan was furious when he heard that Luo Liuli was injured again.
Zhang Fengyu hurriedly went forward. "Lu Yan, don't be excited. What's important now is your sister's situation. You're Director Huang, right? How's Lu Yan's sister's situation?"
When Lu Yan heard this, he recovered a little. He let go of Director Huang's hand and stared fixedly at him.
Director Huang said, "From the situation at that time, Luo Liuli's life was not in danger, but she has not recovered to begin with. The damage this time will deepen her situation, especially her right arm. It has been injected with sword aura and is very likely to be crippled."
Lu Yan's body trembled. He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Director Huang. "Surveillance cameras! I want to see the surveillance cameras!"
He wanted to know who had done this to Luo Liuli.
Director Huang did not hesitate to bring Lu Yan to look at the surveillance cameras.
The surveillance cameras showed that the situation was as Director Huang had said. A masked man in black entered Luo Liuli's ward and quickly left. Then, the nurse discovered Luo Liuli's situation and hurriedly informed the doctor to push Luo Liuli into the emergency room.
"Who is this guy?!" Lu Yan looked at the masked man on the screen and wished he could tear him into pieces.
Director Huang said, "We're not sure yet. We've already called the police, but the culprit was very cautious. He didn't reveal his appearance at all. It's probably very difficult to find him."
At the side, Zhang Fengyu saw Lu Yan's emotions fluctuate again and hurriedly went forward. "Lu Yan, don't be excited. I know the director of the Public Security Bureau. He has a tracking team formed by auxiliary professionals. We will definitely be able to find the murderer."
"I'll call him now. Calm down first. You just finished the university entrance examination and have consumed a lot of energy. If you tire your body like this, there will be a problem."
In the study of a manor in the eastern suburbs of Lin'an City.
Wang Feng knelt on the ground and did not dare to look directly at the figure behind the desk in front of her.
The figure placed his right hand on the desk and tapped his fingers lightly. He said somewhat helplessly, "Wang Feng, how many times have I told you not to be so anxious? I remember telling you before, right? We will only deal with this Lu Yan after the university entrance examination."
"Now that his performance in the university entrance examination is so dazzling, and the professionals have told me that he's ranked in the top three in the entire province, you've made things difficult by doing that to his sister."
Wang Feng lowered her head and said, "Boss, it's my mistake this time. Before I attacked, I did some research on his background. I didn't expect a guy who has awakened the necromancer profession to actually have such a good performance in the university entrance examination."
"Moreover, we were just trying to get him to inherit the strength of the Singa necromancer to complete the ritual. It's not a true recruitment. That's why I arranged for Hu Wei to use his sister to make him accept the inheritance willingly."
The figure said, "I know. If not for the fact that inheriting strength requires a soul that is not willing to resist, I would have directly gotten someone to capture him. However, sometimes, you never know what's going to happen."
"Since it has already happened, it still needs to be resolved."
Wang Feng hurriedly said, "I can personally bring people to apologize and ask for Lu Yan's forgiveness. I won't cause trouble for Singa."
When the figure heard this, his fingers that were knocking on the table paused.
"Wang Feng, you've been in Singa for ten years, right? You've always been in charge of recruiting but you were never able to advance further. Do you know why?"
Wang Feng said, "That's because I'm not capable enough. I can only stay in this position."
The figure smiled and said, "You're right. However, there's another thing. You're too narrow-minded and can't take a comprehensive view of the problem."
"Just like what's our goal in Lu Yan's matter? Is it to recruit him? If not, then why apologize? You don't have to apologize for your mistake. Moreover, if apologizing is useful, there won't be so much conflict in this world."
"Our goal is to complete the ritual. Since the method to inherit the strength of the Singa necromancers is no longer possible, we'll use another method. After all, with the corpses of three necromancers, we will still be able to complete the ritual."
Wang Feng's heart skipped a beat as she suddenly looked up and said, "Boss, do you mean to kill this Lu Yan?"
"But his university entrance examination results are so outstanding, he will definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups. This will cause trouble for Singa, right?"
The figure stood up and continued in front of Wang Feng, "Look, you're looking at the problem one-sidedly again.
"This Lu Yan's potential is indeed not bad, but that's all. Does he have any background? Does he have any powerful backers? If he's alive, naturally, many people will pay attention to him and even rope him in.
"But if he dies, he will be worthless. The higher-ups won't touch our Singa for a dead person.
"Even if he performs well in the university entrance examination, it's still meaningless. He's only an orphan without power.
"In this world, not everyone can defy the heavens and change their fate.
"Kill him and bring the corpse back. Then, find a necromancer's corpse and complete the ritual. Once the matter is resolved, the ritual can also be completed. This is the solution you were supposed to propose to me"
Wang Feng lowered her head and said, "I… I understand."
"Go and make arrangements. Remember not to use Singa's people to kill him before the university entrance examination results are out."
…
Lu Yan waited in front of the emergency room for half an hour. At this moment, his emotions had also stabilized.
The director of the Lin'an City Public Security Bureau also thought very highly of this matter and directly investigated it himself.
At this moment, the door to the emergency room opened and Luo Liuli was pushed out.
At this moment, Luo Liuli was completely wrapped in bandages like a mummy. There was also a sword wound on her forehead, leaving a mark.
Luo Liuli closed her eyes tightly and frowned, as if she was enduring some pain.
"Doctor, how's my sister?" Lu Yan hurriedly went forward and asked the doctor who saved her.
As the doctor took off his mask, he said, "The patient's condition is already stable, but a large amount of sword aura has been injected into her body and can't be removed. The person who did this should be a swordsman. He's quite ruthless."
"We can only temporarily stabilize her situation, but she will constantly suffer from the pain of the sword aura roaming in her body. If we want to resolve it, we have to either find a mid-grade sword pill to resolve the sword aura in her body or break the tendons in her feet and hands to let the sword aura be released. However, in the case of the latter, she will also become a cripple."
Mid-grade sword pill?
Lu Yan frowned slightly. A sword pill was something a swordsman condensed from his lifetime of Sword Dao comprehension and sword aura.
Usually, it was condensed when one was about to die and would be left behind as an inheritance. Moreover, not all swordsmen could condense a sword pill.
Moreover, swordsmen who condensed the sword pill had to endure the pain of ten thousand swords piercing their bodies. Basically, very few swordsmen would choose to condense the sword pill.
This caused sword pills to be very rare.
Moreover, he needed a mid-grade sword pill.
As for the idea of breaking her tendons, Lu Yan did not consider it at all.
As long as there was a trace of hope, Lu Yan would not let Luo Liuli become a cripple.
"Doctor, is there any way to ease the pain brought by the sword aura?" Lu Yan looked at the doctor and asked.
It would probably take a while to find the mid-grade sword pill. Now, he had to help Luo Liuli relieve the pain of the sword aura.
The doctor said, "Increasing one's physique can relieve pain. A bottle of blood essence tonic a day can reduce the pain to the minimum."
Lu Yan nodded. Then, Luo Liuli was pushed into the key ward and guarded by someone.
After the surgery, Luo Liuli still needed some time to wake up.
Zhang Fengyu looked at Lu Yan and said, "Don't worry too much. I'll help you investigate the matter of the sword pill."
Lu Yan looked at Zhang Fengyu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Principal. If there's any news of the sword pill, you have to inform me."
No matter how expensive it was, Lu Yan had to help Luo Liuli obtain the sword pill.
At this moment, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Li Jianfeng, found him.
Zhang Fengyu went forward and asked, "Old Li, how's the investigation going?"
Li Jianfeng looked at Zhang Fengyu and nodded. Then, his gaze landed on Lu Yan.
"Are you Lu Yan? We've already found the murderer. It's Singa's Hu Wei."
Lu Yan looked up and said, "I want to know his information. Please tell me, Director Li."
Lu Yan would definitely not let this guy off for doing such a thing to Sister Liuli.
Li Jianfeng frowned when he heard this. Then, he looked at Lu Yan and said, "Lu Yan, I came here today because I wanted to tell you about this."
"What I mean is, don't go too deep into this matter. We'll take responsibility for it."
