My career has infinite upgrades.

Su Qing stood behind Zhang Hao, covering her mouth and nose in disgust.

"That's disgusting."

She glanced at the crooked graves around her, her eyes filled with disdain.

"You lowly person, even your hiding place is so unlucky. Gu Qing, you really belong here."

"This feeling is just like your current situation—utterly rotten."

Zhang Haoran raised his knight's longsword.

The white light on the blade illuminated the surrounding dilapidated graves, casting a stark white glow.

He stared at the silent Gu Qing and let out a cold laugh.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Where did that same intensity go, yelling at us on the playground during the day?

Zhang Haoran took two steps forward, pointing his knight's longsword at Gu Qing, the power of light flickering on the blade.

Gu Qing ignored it, glancing at the nearly full experience bar of the Undead Apprentice while his gaze fell on the dilapidated Abyss Altar in his illusory inventory.

It seems that if all else fails, the only option is to use the altar to directly summon a gold-tier abyssal creature.

However, Gu Qing still wanted to wait and see what rewards the Necromancer Apprentice would receive for advancing to the next level.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing lowered her eyes slightly and deliberately lowered her voice.

"Su Qing".

He looked at Su Qing, as if he had finally reached his breaking point, and his words revealed a hint of fear.

"No matter what, we were boyfriend and girlfriend before."

Why do you hate me so much now?

Upon hearing Gu Qing's words, Su Qing's smile vanished, replaced by undisguised resentment.

"How dare you ask?" Su Qing's voice was sharp, filled with resentment.

"If you switch to a C-rank or higher job, I can part ways amicably."

"But you happened to awaken two useless F-rank jobs: one is a useless bum who only knows how to lick boots, and the other is trash who can't even summon a skeleton!"

Su Qing became increasingly agitated as she spoke, her chest heaving violently: "Everyone looks at me with mockery as soon as they find out I'm your ex-girlfriend! If this gets back to the Holy See, how am I supposed to hold my head high there?"

Gu Qing rolled her eyes inwardly. So, she didn't feel ashamed when she gave away Qi and Blood Potions, but now that she hasn't awakened a good profession, it's become a stain. This woman's logic is truly touching.

Zhang Haoran chimed in from the side:

"Gu Qing, what I hate most is this kind of attitude of yours."

"It seems like he takes everything lightly and doesn't care about anything."

He gripped his knight's longsword tightly, his voice filled with barely suppressed jealousy and resentment.

"I tolerated your past talent, perfect combat skills, and constant airs of genius!"

"But what about now?"

"Two useless F-rank classes, what are you pretending to be so nonchalant about?"

Zhang Haoran spat on the ground.

Don't you think you're ridiculous?

"that is!"

Su Qing immediately chimed in, as if she had finally found an outlet for her frustration.

"You keep confessing your feelings to Lin Qinghan, making a fool of yourself as well."

"When people see you, they'll immediately think of me as your ex-girlfriend."

"Do you know how disgusting this is to me?"

She stared at Gu Qing and said, word by word:

"A piece of trash should act like trash."

"You should be lying on the ground right now, looking up at us."

The two of them, singing in unison, unleashed all the jealousy and resentment they had been suppressing.

They were thoroughly enjoying the moment.

The geniuses who once dominated them are now humiliated by them.

Gu Qing remained silent, her gaze still fixed on the illusory light screen.

[Host detected in an area densely populated with death.]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

Just one more step! Gu Qing's heart beat a little faster, but she remained outwardly calm.

[Undead Apprentice Experience +1]

Experience: 100/100

My experience bar is finally full!

The crisp system notification sound exploded in my mind, like heavenly music.

[Ding~ The Necromancer Apprentice's simplified experience points are full, successfully advancing to the next rank. Congratulations on advancing from Rank F Necromancer Apprentice to Rank E Necromancer.]

[You have successfully advanced to the next class in your first battle. Advancement rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations! You have acquired a one-time combat ability: Seed of the Dead.]

Combat ability?

Without hesitation, Gu Qing immediately checked the description of the newly acquired ability.

[Seed of the Dead (One-Time Use): Upon use, it gathers the power of death within a 100-meter radius, forcibly summoning a high-level undead creature to fight for you.]

Duration: 10 minutes.

Gather the power of death to summon high-level undead creatures?

Gu Qing looked around at the mass graves.

Graves are scattered everywhere.

Deathly energy turned into mist.

There's not much else here, but the power of death is plentiful.

Zhang Haoran and Su Qing were unaware of what had happened.

They only saw Gu Qing standing there in a daze, his face even more mocking.

Su Qing waved her hand impatiently.

"Alright, why waste so much time talking to him?"

"First, we severed his tendons in his hands and feet."

"I want to see if he can still keep up the act when he's lying on the ground looking up at us."

Zhang Haoran nodded, casually twirling his knight's longsword.

He glanced at the eerie graveyard around him and suddenly laughed.

"Hey, Gu Qing, what are you doing at the mass grave so late at night?"

"Could it be that she's having suicidal thoughts and is planning to commit suicide here?"

Zhang Haoran laughed mockingly.

"You have a good eye for picking places."

"This place is definitely right for you."

He brandished the tip of his sword, his tone as if he were bestowing a gift.

"Don't worry, we're brothers."

"I won't let you die in the wilderness."

"At least I'll dig a hole for you."

Su Qing giggled, covering her mouth, "Haoran, what you're saying does seem a bit like it. This good-for-nothing wouldn't really be here to commit suicide, would he?"

"So, we've come at the wrong time?"

The two of them laughed more and more wildly, as if they could already see Gu Qing with his limbs crippled, lying on the ground like a dead dog.

What right does a piece of trash of the double F rank have to resist two SS rank elites?

Gu Qing glanced at the newly acquired Seed of the Dead, then at the shattered Abyss Altar in his illusory backpack, and grinned at Zhang Haoran and Su Qing.

"No! You've come at the perfect time!"

Gu Qing raised his hand and grabbed at the empty space in front of him.

A black seed emitting a dim light appeared out of thin air, exuding a strong aura of the dead.

Looking at the Seed of the Dead in front of him, Gu Qing did not hesitate at all.

Grab it!

Refined in an instant!

Use it directly!

"Buzz!"

A dense surge of necromantic power instantly appeared, and an extremely dense black light emerged in front of Gu Qing.

The originally faint black and white mist around them was instantly dyed as black as ink.

A deep, reverberating sound spread through the depths of the mass grave.

The next moment, the deathly aura around them seemed to be forcibly grasped by an invisible hand, frantically converging towards Gu Qing.

The originally light gray-white mist instantly turned into an impenetrable black.

The weeds on the grave mound were pressed flat against the ground.

A few crows cawed strangely in the distance, flapped their wings, and fled into the night.

The light power on Zhang Haoran suddenly dimmed.

The Holy See reserve badge on Su Qing's chest also flashed a few times, as if it were being pressed down by something.

This is not the aura of an ordinary undead.

This is the death energy within a hundred-meter radius of the entire mass grave, forcibly dragged over by the Seed of the Dead.

Black mist churned.

The air was so cold it felt like it was about to freeze.

A figure rapidly materialized within it.
