A global zombie apocalypse has occurred, and you say the Taoist sequence is useless?

The next morning, Xu Yi arrived at the Zombie Domain behind the mountain.

"You're going to the White Zombie territory?"

The same stern male teacher was still at the entrance, and he seemed somewhat surprised to see Xu Yi:

"You haven't even advanced to Tier 3 yet, have you? You're actually going to the White Zombie Domain alone? The life-saving pendant issued by the academy won't be able to stop the attacks of the White Zombies, will it?"

But he was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

Suddenly, a thick fog began to rise around the two of them!

"Is this Teacher Li?"

The male teacher's expression changed, and he quickly stood up, smiling as he said:

"Since Teacher Li is with you, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Xu Yi thanked him and stepped into the zombie domain.

This mist is indeed Li Jingsong's domain.

In Li Jingsong's words, he is about to break through the bottleneck of the 9th rank, so he needs to constantly hone the Mysterious Mist Domain and condense his domain to the extreme.

Therefore, we must be vigilant at all times and cannot relax.

For the next period of time, Li Jingsong will continue to exist in this manner.

Upon entering the Zombie Domain, Xu Yi felt the mist surging beneath his feet.

With another step, he found himself in the territory of the white zombies.

"Let's begin. I won't intervene again unless your life is in danger."

Li Jingsong's voice came from the mist.

"Okay, teacher."

Xu Yi nodded and walked towards the nearest coffin room.

But before he could even step inside, the door to the house was slammed open with a loud bang!

A gray-white zombie with bloodthirsty eyes lunged straight at Xu Yi!

The white zombies could already smell the scent of living people even through the coffin room!

"Golden light surrounds my body!"

Xu Yi first used the Golden Light Mantra to protect himself, and then threw out an Evil-Slaying Talisman.

"Pfft!"

The Demon-Slaying Talisman entered the white zombie's body, instantly killing it.

Not even a ripple was stirred.

[One white zombie killed, current progress 2/10]

Xu Yi nodded slightly.

This white zombie was even weaker than the one in the martial arts arena of Taiyue Academy, so it naturally couldn't withstand a single Demon-Slaying Talisman.

Following the same method, he killed eight more white zombies in succession.

Just one more to meet the requirements for Tier 3 promotion.

These white zombies were all of similar strength, and Xu Yi killed them all with ease.

"Since the teacher is here and won't be in any danger, why don't we test the Demon-Slaying Talisman's maximum power?"

Xu Yi's eyes flickered.

"Divine Speed ​​Talisman!"

He raised his hand and pasted a talisman on himself.

Xu Yi's speed increased dramatically, and he became as light as a swallow.

He then deliberately avoided the other coffin chambers and headed deep into the zombie domain until he reached the Black Zombie Domain.

"roar!"

Just as he landed, a monster suddenly pounced out from the nearest coffin room!

The monster's body was no longer grayish-white, but a grayish-black!

Even in the dim, stagnant space, it gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen.

It looked not like a body of flesh and blood, but like a cast iron statue being cast.

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly; this was a sign that he was about to transform into "copper skin"!

The most distinctive feature of *Strombus haematocephala* is its tough, membrane-like skin.

The most distinctive feature of the Black Zombie is its copper skin and iron body!

Not only is the skin more resilient.

Their bones are as hard as steel!

The skills of low-level sequence users probably won't even leave a white mark.

Even if you could break through its flesh, you would be blocked by its iron bones.

Given the regenerative abilities of zombies, the fact that the bones weren't damaged means it's not even considered a minor injury!

As Xu Yi retreated rapidly to create distance between himself and the zombie, he raised his hand and swung out two evil-slaying talismans.

"laugh!"

"laugh!"

Two exorcising talismans pierced the zombie's neck in succession, making a tearing sound as sharp weapons cut into flesh.

However, the two exorcising talismans did not kill him directly; they only cut halfway into his neck and did not completely sever his cervical vertebrae!

"Aww!"

The zombie roared in pain as half of its neck was severed, and its head drooped backward.

However, its reaction was extremely fast; it actually managed to twist its body and run away!

"Still trying to run?"

Xu Yi sneered, "Do you think I'm like before?"

He lifted his leg and chased after him.

With the blessing of the Divine Speed ​​Talisman, he was even faster than this zombie!

"Evil-Slaying Talisman!"

Xu Yi unleashed another evil-slaying talisman.

This time, the blade struck the zombie squarely on the back of its neck.

"Snap!"

This time, its "iron bones" finally gave way and were severed by Xu Yi's attack!

Unbeknownst to him, a cloud of mist quietly gathered around Xu Yi.

Li Jingsong's voice was filled with amazement.

"This is a zombie on the verge of becoming a black zombie, and it's still no match for you! I was even about to make a move just now!"

"Your sequence... is beyond my comprehension!"

The surrounding fog was churning, clearly indicating that he was not at peace.

"Alright, including the one you killed at Taiyue Academy, we now have 10 white zombies."

After calming down for a while, Li Jingsong said, "You should be able to advance now, right? With me here, you can advance without worry."

"Okay, teacher!"

Xu Yi nodded and looked at the panel.

Name: Xu Yi

[Level: Tier 2, Level 10]

[Meets promotion requirements and is currently being considered for promotion]

……

Name: Xu Yi

[Sequence: Taoist (Unique)]

【等级：3阶1级（4阶晋升条件斩杀煞级黑僵10只，绿僵1只）】

Passive Skill: Repelling All Evil

[Active Skills: Spells - Golden Light Spell, Thunder in the Palm Spell; Talismans - Six Ding Six Jia Talisman, Evil Suppression Talisman, Evil Slaying Talisman, Swift Horse Talisman]

[Advanced to Tier 3, Awakened Skill - Corpse Driving Technique! Note: Driving away corpses is as swift as a command!]

……

The requirements for advancing to Tier 4 are, in addition to killing 10 evil-level black zombies, also killing one green zombie.

Before he could even feel happy, Xu Yi saw the requirements for the next stage of promotion and his vision went black.

Unlike the lower-level purple and white zombies.

Black zombies and even higher-level zombies are classified into four levels based on their malevolent aura and strength.

Metamorphosis, ferocity, malice, and malevolence!

The further they go, the more terrifying their strength becomes, and the heavier their murderous aura becomes!

The Fiend-level Black Zombie is the most powerful of all Black Zombies!

But if there were only ten black zombies, that would be fine, but the most crucial thing is that there's also a green zombie!

That's something even a human at level 5 might not be able to handle!

"These are the requirements for a Taoist priest to be promoted to Celestial Master? That's really outrageous!"

Xu Yi shook his head.

However, he quickly became optimistic again, because the more demanding the conditions, the more it demonstrated the power of the Celestial Master sequence!

Only by slaying zombies two levels higher can one be eligible for advancement!

That's incredibly incredible!

Composing himself, Xu Yi then looked at the new skill he had awakened when he advanced to the 3rd tier.

"The method of transporting corpses?"

Xu Yi's eyes widened in surprise.

Could it be the corpse-driving technique he remembered?

He quickly checked the skill details.

After a while, the corners of his mouth stretched wider and wider.

Until the very end, I couldn't help but burst out laughing!

The Corpse-Driving Technique consists of a combination of a Corpse-Controlling Talisman and a Corpse-Driving Incantation!

The Corpse Control Talisman can be attached to a zombie to control its movements.

The Corpse-Driving Spell is a spell used in conjunction with the Corpse-Controlling Talisman to manipulate zombies.

By combining the two, one can directly control the zombie's every move!

In this zombie-infested world, what does it mean to be able to directly control zombies?

Even a fool could figure that out!

Xu Yi was almost certain that this skill was the most overpowered skill he had awakened since then!

"Teacher, I've advanced to level 3!"

Having achieved his goal, Xu Yi looked at Li Jingsong.

"So soon? Okay, let's go back then."

Li Jingsong's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

Soon after, Xu Yi returned to his small courtyard amidst the swirling mist.

"For the next period of time, you can familiarize yourself with the Tier 3 skills."

Li Jingsong gave a brief instruction, then added:

"Upon reaching Tier 3, Dragon Tiger Academy will arrange for students to enter the Zombie Domain for their first mission. This is meant to give students their initial exposure to the real Zombie Domain, since that will be their true battlefield in the future."

The university will give newly admitted students about a month to prepare.

After he finished speaking, the mist drifted away.

"The task assigned to third-tier students by Dragon Tiger Academy?"

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Indeed, students cannot stay in the university forever, like hothouse flowers.

After all, the purpose of training Sequencers is to fight zombies, not to consume resources.

After closing the courtyard gate, Xu Yi stood in the courtyard and began to test the changes in his skills after advancing to the third tier.

First, there is the Golden Light Mantra.

At this moment, the Golden Light Mantra has clearly entered the second stage, with golden light shining everywhere, transforming Qi into form!

When using the Golden Light Mantra, the golden light is no longer limited to covering only the surface of the body.

Instead, it can leave the body and condense into a light whip, with explosive destructive power!

Xu Yi was extremely excited and kept manipulating the golden light to leave his body, turning it into a golden whip that danced wildly in the air.

The second stage of the Golden Light Mantra can be used to defend oneself or to attack enemies, making it much more powerful than before!

Xu Yi experimented for a long time before finally stopping the golden light, and he was very satisfied.

It truly deserves its reputation as one of the eight great divine incantations of Taoism!

The potential of the Golden Light Mantra is enormous!

As for talismans, they have also made a qualitative leap.

With the Six Ding and Six Jia Talisman, Xu Yi has successfully summoned eight divine generals, including the Four Ding and Four Jia, greatly increasing his defensive power!

The effects of the Suppression Talisman and the Divine Speed ​​Talisman have also been significantly enhanced, with the spiritual light of the talismans being much stronger than before.

What surprised Xu Yi even more was the Evil-Slaying Talisman.

After advancing to the third rank, the Demon-Slaying Talisman I drew was no longer yellow, but blue!

The energy fluctuations of this blue exorcising talisman are several times stronger than those of the previous yellow exorcising talisman!

This is also Xu Yi's first blue talisman!

"The Demon-Slaying Talisman should be my strongest attack method right now!"

Xu Yi was excited. He picked up the talisman and examined it over and over, liking it more and more with each look.

Upon advancing to the 3rd rank, his overall strength underwent a qualitative change!

In the following period, he returned to a state of staying indoors and never leaving his home.

Besides practicing the One-Point Guiding Method, he devoted himself to drawing talismans.

The most common type of talisman is the Demon-Slaying Talisman, while the other types are distributed evenly.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The weather has changed from summer to autumn, but it is still somewhat hot and dry.

That evening, Xu Yi, unusually, did not cultivate and had a small gathering with a few friends in the courtyard.

Gao Kai, Zhu Xiaotong, Wang Qiang, and Qian Jinyan were all present.

At this moment, Xu Yi's talisman treasury was more abundant than ever before, and its level had reached Rank 3, Level 2.

Since the mission from Dragon Tiger Academy hadn't started yet, Wang Qiang suggested that they all have a barbecue in Xu Yi's courtyard.

Xu Yi grilled skewers while listening to their casual conversation and playful banter.

Wang Qiang and Gao Kai encouraged Zhu Xiaotong to use fire-attribute skills to grill skewers, while Qian Jinyan was gnawing on a roasted lamb leg.

Just then, Xu Yi suddenly changed his expression and took out his communicator.

The notification from Longhu Academy has arrived!

[Task Type: Zombie Domain Clearance (Outer Periphery)]

[Mission Location: Pingcheng Zombie Domain]

[Mission Objective: Detect anomalies in the Zombie Domain, clear out the surrounding zombies, and cooperate with official operations.]

[Team Leader: Chen Su, a third-year university student (Level 4 Sequence Holder)]

Meeting time: 7:00 AM tomorrow, parking lot at the north gate of the university.

"My first mission is actually in the Pingcheng Zombie Domain?"

Xu Yi was taken aback, but then realized that this might have been arranged by the academy.

After all, he himself came from Pingcheng.

He then reviewed the details of the mission.

They were not allowed to venture deep into the Zombie Domain; they were only allowed to operate on its outskirts.

The outer edge of the zombie domain is mostly filled with purple and white zombies; even black zombies are extremely rare and pose no threat to him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense, since it's just the most basic task.

Moreover, the leader was only a fourth-order sequence user.

If they were to enter the inner area, they would likely be wiped out if they encountered even a single green zombie.

The next morning.

Xu Yi arrived at the North Gate parking lot.

Two people, a man and a woman, were already standing at the door.

The boy was of medium build and had a scar on his face.

The girl is slightly chubby and has a sweet face.

However, both of them appeared calm and composed, clearly much more experienced than the new students.

They saw Xu Yi walking alone, and their eyes swept over him, immediately showing surprise.

"Hey buddy, I've never seen you before?"

The scarred guy scratched his head. "Dude, aren't you a junior, not a sophomore? It's been over two years and you've only reached level 3? That's a bit slow!"

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence.

"But you look quite young, much younger than me!"

The slightly chubby girl also had a strange look in her eyes.

Although the scarred man is brainless and outspoken, what he says is actually not wrong.

Apart from team leader Chen Su, everyone else on this mission should have just advanced to level 3.

For students at Longhu Academy, reaching Level 3 in their third year is definitely very slow.

"This is Xu Yi, the top freshman this year. He came out on top in the Four Prefectures' preliminary test and even killed a white zombie!"

Just then, a tall young man walked over and introduced himself.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Su, your team leader for this mission."

"What, a freshman?"

The scarred man and the slightly chubby woman both stared wide-eyed at Xu Yi as if he were a ghost.

This person isn't a junior, but a freshman!

"A newbie reaching level 3 at this point and even killing a white zombie—what does that even mean?!"

Keep in mind, this is only the first semester of freshman year!

How long has this person actually been cultivating?

It won't even last six months!

The slightly chubby woman suddenly realized something and exclaimed:

"I remember now! A freshman mentioned that our university had a monster freshman this year, and it was you!"

The way the two looked at Xu Yi changed instantly.

This can no longer be described as "genius," it's simply monstrous!

The two of them had been enrolled for a full year longer than the other person, and now they're only at the same level!

The thought of how they initially thought Xu Yi was a junior in college and even complained about his slow cultivation made their cheeks burn.

So they're the real clowns!
