Chapter 4: Arrogant Swan, I, Lu Qingyu, Never Lose

Lin Suqiu tries her best to calm herself; she is a level‑55 professional.

The other side is only a newcomer who just finished the Job Change, not even at level 1, and his Summoned Entity just now effortlessly shattered his own defense talisman with a single sword?

Even if I cast a LV1 defense talisman, a level‑0 newcomer's Summoned Entity shouldn't be able to pierce it with a single sword!

Lin Suqiu also checked the Skeleton Warrior's attributes—plain and unremarkable, with nothing special, right!

Maybe it was just good luck, a critical hit; Jiang Chen has only just succeeded in the Job Change.

Everything must wait until he levels up; only then will the data have any reference or comparative value.

From now on, keep a slight eye on that student named Jiang Chen.

Lin Suqiu steadies her mind, and her face regains that aloof, abstinent older‑woman demeanor.

"The Job Transfer Ceremony continues."

"I'm going, Brother Chen, your profession is fine."

Yue Dapeng's courage is far from ordinary; when all the classmates were scared of Jiang Chen's Skeleton, this fellow proactively stepped forward.

"Brother Chen, when you go out to grind levels later, if you can summon a Skeleton, that's like two people fighting monsters, and the experience doesn't even need to be split..."

His gaze revealed a strong sense of envy.

When he got close to the Skeleton Warrior, Yue Dapeng probed the Skeleton up and down like an archaeology professor uncovering a rare artifact.

"Impressive, impressive, it looks formidable from every angle..."

Yue Dapeng had just tried to glance at the short sword in the Skeleton Warrior's hand.

The Skeleton suddenly turned its head, its ferocious eye sockets staring at him, giving him a fright.

"Skeleton brother, don't be nervous

, I'm not taking your weapon; I'm a big good person!"

At that moment, the Job Transfer Array called out Yue Dapeng's name, and he promptly replied and left.

Jiang Chen looked at the Summon Queue in the attribute panel.

0/5

A thought flickered, and a swirl of Black Fog rose, causing the Skeleton Warrior to disappear on the spot.

Looking at the Summon Array again, it was now 1/5.

The Summon Array is the place where Summoned Entities are stored; it looks analogous to a hunter's beast pen count.

This indeed makes things much more convenient for Summoners and cuts down many unnecessary hassles.

After all, going out with many Summoned Entities often puts a Summoner in a passive position.

Jiang Chen tried it; storing and retrieving Summoned Entities in the Summon Queue does not consume Spiritual Power.

The current Summon Array limit is 5, meaning it can store only five Summoned Entities.

The Summon Array can not only store but also quickly heal the Summoned Entities it receives.

As Jiang Chen's level continues to rise, the array's capacity will also increase.

I don't know what the future maximum limit will be.

But one thing is certain: it will be extremely, extremely large, to an incalculable degree.

Just now, during the Job Transfer Array, when an anomaly manifested, Jiang Chen's mind already conjured a scene that shocked him profoundly.

In a bleak, icy, extreme‑cold fissure region, ancient ice in the central zone coalesced into a towering ice Fortress that rose into the clouds.

At the summit of that Fortress stood a massive bone throne frozen in ice.

He stands upon that throne, overlooking everything on the fissure land; beneath him lies endless cold and mountains of piled bones

bones.

He raises his staff high; on the icefield outside the Fortress, countless Death Spirit Skeletons with faint green fire in their eyes fill the expanse.

They all face Jiang Chen's bone throne, reverently worshipping their most noble, most powerful king!

King of the Undead!

That is the height I will reach in the future!

An invincible, unstoppable undead army—gods cannot slay gods, Buddhas cannot slay Buddhas!

Over there, Yue Dapeng's Job Transfer Ceremony has also completed.

"Yue Dapeng, Job Change successful, Silver Grade Combat Class, Crimson Knight!"

Upon hearing this result, Yue Dapeng excitedly jumped out of the array.

"Wuhu, take off!"

"I told you I'd make it, definitely material to be a Knight, girls, here I come."

He glanced around and saw the girls casting goofy looks at him, quickly cleared his throat, pretended to be a gentleman, and kept his eyes straight.

He solemnly said, "A Knight is the most solid frontline in a team; if you wish to kill my teammate, please step over my corpse first!"

Lin Suqiu frowned.

"Hurry down, don't delay the classmates behind!"

"Oh, oh, okay..."

He changed to a Crimson Knight, which differs from ordinary Knights; it is a Silver Grade Combat Class.

Crimson Knights possess an extraordinary understanding of blood, enabling them to use blood at critical moments to grant unexpected Buff effects to themselves and allies.

Yue Dapeng excitedly ran back to the class team, standing beside Jiang Chen.

"Brother Chen, the brother finally changed to a Knight, wish granted!"

"With brothers around, we can team up to level up together, farm Instances together,

and tackle Secret Realms..."

"Money, beauties, fame, and wealth are all placed deep within the Instance Secret Realm; if you want them, go take them!"

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words about this chatterbox.

"You've been watching One Piece too much!"

"What One Piece?"

"Never mind..." Jiang Chen shook his head.

Soon, all the students in the Grand Auditorium had completed the job change.

Among nearly 300 students, only 15 changed to Combat Class, 23 to Support Class, and the rest were all Life Class.

The most eye‑catching among them were Jiang Chen and Lu Qingyu.

Lu Qingyu changed to the Gold Combat Job Rainbow Mage.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, changed to the sole Hidden Combat Job, Necromancer Summoner.

In terms of attention, Jiang Chen attracted more focus than Lu Qingyu.

The Hidden Profession, being the only one of its kind, still leaves us unsure what advantages its level‑up will bring.

After a brief handover with Lin Suqiu, Cheng Rushan saw off the staff from the Job Transfer Bureau.

After the homeroom teachers of each class met, the school made arrangements.

Starting the next day, all students who successfully changed jobs will be assigned to the Luolan Forest instance around Baiyun City for leveling up.

As for players who changed to Life Class, higher‑level job‑changers will be assigned to train and improve their Skills.

This period lasts only one week; after that week, all senior‑year students will face the college entrance exam.

The exam will determine which tier of higher‑education institution they will enter for further study.

At the school gate, a graceful figure watched Jiang Chen's silhouette, which was gradually drifting farther away with Yue Dapeng.

It was the campus beauty Lu Qingyu, her silver teeth clenched.

"Hmph, Jiang Chen,

the Hidden Profession what of it? I'm still a Gold Job and won't easily concede..."

"Let's see who can get into the Empire's highest‑level academy!"
