Don't mess with that necromancer; his summoned creatures level up on their own!

In the monitoring room, everyone's eyes were fixed on the pool of blood that was writhing on the screen.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's hesitant expression, Su Yangwei felt inexplicably irritated and let out a cold snort.

"What? Old Yu, you don't really think he can learn a new skill in this kind of environment, do you?"

"You've all seen that thing; it can't even hold up a wall, let alone be mobile? Is that what you call mobile?"

That's called being hopelessly incompetent.

Lu Zaoxie glanced at him.

"Why can't he learn new skills? My Zhixing is exceptionally talented; learning skills is as easy as drinking water for him. What's the big deal?"

Su Yangwei sat up straight.

"Ha, an extraordinary talent?"

Just as he was about to speak, Yu Xiaogang suddenly interrupted, his voice unusually serious.

"As far as I know... in the bloodline system, there seems to be a mid-level defensive skill called Blood Domain."

Su Yangwei paused for a moment.

"Intermediate-level skill... Is that even possible? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Zaoxie chuckled softly.

"Then let me ask you—is it possible for a necromancer to speedrun through the 30th floor of the Trial Tower?"

Su Yangwei did not answer.

Lu Zaoxie raised a second finger.

"Do you think it's possible for someone with no elemental affinity to master a combination skill of wind and blood elements?"

Su Yangwei's expression changed slightly. Lu Zaoxie raised his third finger.

"A student who just switched jobs three days ago can unleash more than twenty wind pillars with a wave of their hand? Do you think that's possible?"

Su Yangwei opened his mouth, only to find himself speechless.

He quickly reviewed all of Lu Zhixing's performance from the start of the major exam to the present in his mind.

The Trial Tower has 30 floors, featuring a combination of Wind and Blood elemental skills, more than 20 wind pillars, and a pill-refining competition where low-level materials are used to refine mid-level top-grade potions.

Which of these things makes sense?

He leaned back on the sofa and didn't say anything more.

Yu Xiaogang stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, let's all keep quiet. The world is a big place, full of wonders, and anything is possible. What are we arguing about? We'll just have to wait and see the result."

Lu Zaoxie had no intention of letting Su Yangwei off the hook.

"Hey Lao Su, since you're so sure, how about we bet a few more screens?"

Su Yangwei felt a wave of nausea wash over him when he heard the word "screen".

After swallowing two monitors and a solid wood table corner, I immediately went to the toilet and vomited violently.

The stinging sensation as it went down my throat and the taste of plastic and wood chips in my mouth made me gag just thinking about it.

Eat some more?

It would be better to kill him.

He snorted coldly.

"Betting on the screen? Who's that naive?"

Lu Zaoxie seemed to have been prepared, and slowly began to speak.

"Alright, how about we bet a thousand bottles of top-tier healing potions?"

Su Yangwei was furious.

"A thousand bottles? You think you can drink them like water?"

Lu Zaoxie smiled.

"Alright, then I'll bet on that legendary set you just acquired recently."

"Don't tell me you didn't have it, I know—you spent half a year painstakingly collecting a level 20 legendary set for your You Ran."

Su Yangwei's heart skipped a beat.

That's the Phantom Set.

Although it's only level 20 beginner equipment, the price isn't beginner-friendly at all.

Because it has the cooldown reduction attribute that all professions dream of.

Collecting the entire set can reduce skill cooldown time by up to 65%.

It was available on the market but not in demand, and he spent tens of millions of Chinese currency to collect it.

It even involved a lot of favors from others.

He was planning to give it to Su Youran as a gift after her big exam.

Lu Zaoxie added leisurely.

"What? You're too scared? You're too scared to bet on the screen, calling it childish; you're too scared to bet on equipment, so what do you want to bet on?"

He tilted his head.

"If you don't dare to bet on that, then bet on streaking. If you lose, you walk back from the exam hall's main entrance naked."

Su Yangwei's face turned red and white in turns, and he was trembling with anger.

If he, the dignified commander of the city's defense forces, really went naked, then he wouldn't be able to stay in Dachang City tomorrow; he could just go sleep in the river.

Compared to social death, a set of equipment... seems acceptable.

and.

He then thought, "Lu Zhixing has only been in this position for a few days."

How could I possibly have mastered another intermediate skill?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

He made up his mind.

"Alright! Let's bet! Let's bet on that Phantom Spirit Set! Lu Zaoxie, you asked for this."

Lu Zaoxie waved his hand.

"Deal! Old Yu, you have to be a witness, don't let him renege on the deal!"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll be your witness, I'll be your witness."

Su Yangwei sneered and turned his gaze back to the screen.

"Old Lu, you'd better get ready to reimburse me for the equipment costs. You're really dreaming."

On the edge of the black mud swamp, Lu Zhixing leaned against a dead tree, scrolling through his phone with one hand and chewing on dried meat.

At my feet was a puddle of mud that was still slowly wriggling.

The little vampire beside him was experiencing an unprecedented brainstorming session.

Blood-red eyes stared intently at the churning, dark red blood.

"Yes, yes, that's it... That's right... I'm getting into it..."

[System notification: Your summoned creature "Little Vampire" has entered a state of enlightenment...]

[Comprehension progress: 1%...2%...5%...]

Lu Zhixing put down his phone, his eyes lighting up.

"Um?"

He looked down at the progress bar on the panel that was slowly rising, and then at the little vampire who was completely focused.

Wow, it's actually going to work out?

I just casually made up a couple of lines like "offense is the best defense" and "turn the wall of blood into super glue," and I actually had a sudden epiphany?

He leaned against the tree root, feeling a mix of emotions.

So this is like you're just making empty promises and your summoned creatures are responsible for making them happen, right? Brilliant!

【领悟进度：12%……23%……47%……68%……89%……】

The progress bar rose rapidly, like a fuse being lit.

[System Notification: Your summoned creature "Little Vampire" has grasped another form of "defense"—trapping the enemy is protecting!]

[Congratulations! Your summoned creature "Little Vampire" has successfully learned the intermediate skill "Blood Domain" (Lv.1) through auto-analysis!]

[Skill Effect: Transforms the ground in a designated area into a vortex trap with terrifying suction power. Cooldown: One minute.]

[Skill Description: After skill activation, all enemy targets within an initial 500-meter radius will be powerfully bound by blood element, unable to move or use any movement skills for five seconds.]

[Skill effectiveness is affected by environmental factors and the level difference between allies and enemies. The range increases by fifty meters with each skill level increase.]

Lu Zhixing looked at the description on the panel and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Within a 500-meter range, control for five seconds.

Five seconds is enough time to unleash all your offensive skills on the enemy.

The little vampire raised his head, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"I did it! I really am the smartest little vampire in the world!"

She turned to look at Lu Zhixing, her blood-red eyes narrowing slightly.

"Why don't you praise me?"

Lu Zhixing paused for two seconds, then reached out and patted her little head.

Her hair was soft and slightly cool, with a faint smell of blood, but he was used to it.

His tone was calm.

"Great job. Thanks to you today."

The little vampire turned his head, his long, silvery-white hair covering half of his face.

"Hmph... at least you have some good taste."

Without hesitation, Lu Zhixing immediately opened the panel and started spending money on skill books.

Several wind and blood-type skill books turned into streams of light and were swallowed whole by the little zombie and the little vampire, causing their skill proficiency to skyrocket.

In just a few seconds, the Blood Domain surged from Lv.1 to Lv.19.

[Blood Domain: Lv.19 (Current limit reached)]

Lu Zhixing patted the remaining snack crumbs off his hands, stood up, straightened his collar, and looked into the depths of the swamp.

There was a group of people waiting for him there.

"My lords, march forth!"
