Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 20 One Punch Sends Pei Xingguo Flying
Ma Fei had clearly forgotten about Qiao Yu's cheat-like move of using a magic staff to knock off half of the Nightmare King's health in the Inner World.
He was currently reveling in a sweet dream of surpassing Qiao Yu.
At that moment, Pei Xingguo also asked with a burning gaze.
"Student Ma Fei, have you decided which university you want to join? The doors of our Huaqing University are always open for you!"
"Uh... Teacher Pei, why don't you test the others first? I want to think about it some more," Ma Fei said.
If possible, he still wanted to continue going to school with Qiao Yu and the others.
After all, if he couldn't see Qiao Yu, how would he find a way to surpass him?
"Alright, then the test continues, next!" Pei Xingguo said.
Zuo You and Zhao Ziyue's tests were both quick, after all, they were both support-type professions and not good at combat.
However, Zuo You gave Pei Xingguo another surprise!
Because he discovered that the attacks hitting Zuo You would actually be reflected back a small amount!
"Is this your skill?" Pei Xingguo asked.
"Yes, Teacher Pei, this is my D-grade skill, Thorns Armor. It can reflect twenty percent of the damage I receive," Zuo You said, glancing at Qiao Yu. Like Ma Fei, she had also obtained this skill as a reward for clearing a hidden dungeon.
"Not bad! Very good!" Pei Xingguo praised.
Attacking me is equivalent to attacking yourself. For a tank profession, nothing is more practical than this skill.
When Yang Xiangdi walked out, Pei Xingguo suddenly understood when he saw his weight of over three hundred pounds.
"This student must also be a tank profession, right?"
"No, Teacher Pei, I'm a mage," Yang Xiangdi said.
Pei Xingguo: .......
The surrounding students were also somewhat silent. It was one thing for Zuo You, who had delicate and sweet looks, to be a tank.
But now a big guy weighing over three hundred pounds comes out and tells me he's a mage? Did you two get the script wrong?
"Let the test begin."
Yang Xiangdi took out his staff and pointed it at the ground beneath Pei Xingguo's feet.
"Bro says, 'Tsu wa, Bakuhatsu da!'"
All the teachers and students were somewhat stunned. What was Yang Xiangdi saying?
Pei Xingguo looked puzzled. He didn't sense the slightest magical fluctuation. Was this kid just trying to look cool?
Only Qiao Yu calmly covered his ears.
Yang Xiangdi shouted, "Art is an explosion! Earth Explosion Jutsu!"
Rumble—!
In an instant, terrifying and violent power swept out from the ground beneath Pei Xingguo's feet.
Pei Xingguo's expression changed, and he leaped up quickly like lightning!
But the power of the Earth Explosion Jutsu still caused his health bar to drop a little bit.
Peng Liangji was also shocked. This skill didn't have any casting premonition and erupted directly from under his feet.
Was this really a skill released by a level 5 little mage?
He turned his head to look at Principal Hong. At this time, Principal Hong was smiling with wrinkles all over his face. The more powerful the students were, the more radiant his face became.
Peng Liangji couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: It seems that after I go back, I must have people pay close attention to this Hong Jianguo.
Cultivating five geniuses in the school at once, this Hong Jianguo is definitely not an ordinary person! Maybe he's a big shot who has changed his name and hidden his identity.
"Very good! Really very good!"
After landing, Pei Xingguo looked at Yang Xiangdi with a look of amazement. The other party's Earth Explosion Jutsu was simply a god-level skill for sneak attacks.
Pei Xingguo looked at his remaining 497 health points and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Even he, a level 25 swordsman, had lost 3 health points when he wasn't paying attention. Not to mention those who were the same level as Yang Xiangdi.
"The last one!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qiao Yu. According to what they knew, this was the most outstanding one among the five!
His profession was also one of the best hidden professions, a necromancer!
The recruiting teachers at the scene looked at Qiao Yu with eyes full of anticipation!
"Qiao Yu! Profession: Necromancer, Level 7, Talent Level... Unknown." Qiao Yu spread his hands and said.
The first half of the sentence surprised everyone. Level 7! A full two levels higher than the other four!
But the second half of the sentence made all the recruiting teachers feel uneasy.
They had never encountered a situation where the talent was unknown.
Was this kid afraid to say it because his talent level was too low?
"How about this, let's test him first and see the test results," Pei Xingguo took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"Okay."
Qiao Yu agreed and walked straight towards Pei Xingguo.
A visible look of doubt appeared on Pei Xingguo's face. You're a necromancer, why aren't you summoning undead creatures and instead coming towards me?
After what happened with Yang Xiangdi, even if he couldn't see what Qiao Yu was going to do, Pei Xingguo still stared at Qiao Yu with all his attention.
It was one thing to be injured by a rookie in the Apprentice Realm once, but if he was injured by a rookie in the Apprentice Realm continuously, he, Pei Xingguo, wouldn't have any face left.
Moving!
This kid is moving frantically with a maximum speed of 9!
Huh? Why does it look like this kid is already going at full speed?
Getting closer and closer!
Five meters!
Three meters!
One meter!
He's already so close, why isn't this kid using necromancy?
Wait! He raised his hand!
Hmph! Finally couldn't help but cast a spell? Looks like it's a close-range burst of necromantic magic.
The corners of Pei Xingguo's mouth slowly curved into a smile. This student named Qiao Yu is still too inexperienced. In a real battle, who would be foolish enough to wait for you to walk in front of them to cast a spell?
"It seems that the title of 'most talented' is not deserved!"
Pei Xingguo secretly shook his head in his heart. At least in his opinion, Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi's performance in the test was much better than Qiao Yu's.
Wait! What is he going to do? This gesture... a right hook?
You're a necromancer, walking in front of a swordsman and using a right hook? Are you kidding me?
Pei Xingguo's face was full of astonishment, and the next second he suddenly reacted.
"Good kid! An illusion, huh? I really underestimated you! Come on!"
Trying to fool me with an illusion, you kid is still too inexperienced! Pei Xingguo was secretly complacent.
In the next instant, Qiao Yu's fist came into contact with Pei Xingguo's chest.
Pei Xingguo's smile instantly froze on his face. A third of his health bar instantly disappeared. He felt like a train had crashed into his chest.
With Qiao Yu's punch, Pei Xingguo's body flew out like a cannonball.
Ma Fei: "!!!"
Zuo You: "???"
Yang Xiangdi: "I*****you*****"
Zhao Ziyue: "......."
All the teachers and students: o(゚Д゚)っ!
Pei Xingguo: (ヾノ꒪ཫ꒪)
Pei Xingguo flew more than two meters away before falling next to Peng Liangji.
"Teacher Pei, are you okay?"
Qiao Yu said with some concern. He had tried his best to restrain his strength.
"I'm fine! Very good! Very energetic!"
Pei Xingguo felt a sweet taste surge in his throat. He forcefully swallowed it and gave Qiao Yu a thumbs up.
"Lao Pei, what's wrong with you?" Peng Liangji asked with great puzzlement.
"How could a level 7 necromancer punch you like this? Necromancers are recognized as having the weakest bodies!"
"This Qiao Yu isn't a relative of yours, are you deliberately holding back?"
Pei Xingguo lowered his voice and scolded Peng Liangji.
"I'm holding back my ass! Damn it, I don't know what kind of monster this kid turned into! His punch almost gave me a heart attack!"
