Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 59 - Arrival At Xiajing Academy: A Unique Atmosphere

Lin Moyu quickly packed his belongings.

Then, a charm flew into the air, transforming into a glowing teleportation formation.

Lin Moyu and Bai Yiyuan stepped into the teleportation formation—and vanished with a flash of brilliant light.

As the last traces of radiance faded, darkness returned to the humble house.

Lu Yun let out a sigh, then turned and walked away, closing the door behind him.

It was late, and the street was hushed.

No one would have guessed that this unassuming, worn-down house had produced two prodigies—accepted into Xiajing Academy in consecutive years. One of them had even claimed the title of imperial top scorer.

Lu Yun’s gaze turned toward the distant Xiajing City, his eyes shining with quiet hope.

"Do your best, Kid." He murmured—his voice warm, filled with pride and expectation.

Meanwhile, Lin Moyu could feel the teleportation process dragging on. Unlike the near-instantaneous jump from the Teleportation Stone earlier that day, this journey seemed much longer.

The Shenxia Empire was vast—one of the great human powers. And Xiajing Academy lay thousands of kilometers away from Xihai City. Even with teleportation, such a distance required time.

Streams of fractured light raced past, flashing like shards of dreams—dazzling, chaotic, surreal.

Time and space twisted unnaturally. Lin Moyu felt disoriented, his senses scrambling under the strain.

But he remained composed. Only a slight pallor betrayed his discomfort.

After what felt like an eternity—but in truth, just over ten seconds—his feet touched solid ground again. Instantly, the disorientation vanished.

"Not bad." Bai Yiyuan commented, a hint of approval in his voice, "You’ve got good endurance."

Xiajing City was on an entirely different level from Xihai City.

As the capital of the Shenxia Empire, it remained alive and radiant, even deep into the night. The moonlight was drowned out by the city's brilliance.

Before them stood their destination—towering and majestic.

"Xiajing Academy."

A colossal gate came into view—towering tens of meters high and stretching over a hundred meters wide.

Magnificent. Exquisite. Imposing. Powerful. These were the first impressions that struck Lin Moyu. For a moment, he felt utterly insignificant.

It was just a gate—yet it radiated such an overwhelming presence that it left him momentarily stunned. Even more unsettling was the faint sense of danger he felt from it... real, deadly danger.

Bai Yiyuan glanced at him, “This gate is more than just an entrance. It’s also a weapon. Even a top-tier powerhouse would pay a steep price for trying to force their way in.”

He gave Lin Moyu a reassuring pat on the shoulder, “Come on.”

As they approached, Lin Moyu sensed a strange aura sweep over him. It was similar to a Detection spell—but not quite the same.

A moment later, his identity was verified, and the massive gate opened quietly.

To Lin Moyu’s surprise, Xiajing Academy wasn’t as quiet at night as he’d expected.

Walking through the academy grounds, he could feel fluctuations of energy rising from different corners of the campus—one after another.

“That’s the students.” Bai Yiyuan explained casually, “They’re grinding their skills.”

Though Bai Yiyuan carried himself with a dignified air, his tone toward Lin Moyu remained patient and steady.

“Skills need to be grinded?” Lin Moyu asked.

Bai Yiyuan nodded, “Aside from class skills, there are also special skills. Most skills have to be ground to grow stronger.”

That aligned with Lin Moyu’s own guess—skills couldn’t reach their full potential without grinding.

He asked again, “Is it just a matter of using them more often?”

Bai Yiyuan smiled, “Not quite. Every skill is different. Some will grow through repeated use, others require specific conditions... and a few won’t improve through grinding at all.”

“You’ll learn all of this once you’re officially enrolled.” He added, “The academy’s instructors will teach you everything you need to know.”

Skill knowledge was a complete and systematic discipline—far too vast to be explained in just a few words.

Lin Moyu understood this well.

Now that Bai Yiyuan had given him a clear overview, he didn’t ask further questions.

Around them, fluctuations of energy continued to surge through the air—steady, rhythmic, and ceaseless. Occasionally, flashes of light pierced the night sky, brief yet brilliant.

“They’re really pushing themselves.” Lin Moyu thought.

With just this glimpse, Xiajing Academy had already left a deep impression on him.

The students here were diligent—so much so that they trained even in the dead of night. There was a hunger, a fire in the air.

Lin Moyu couldn’t help but think of his own skills... they didn’t seem easy to grind.

Xiajing Academy, he noticed, was vast—far larger than he expected.

After a long walk, they finally arrived at their destination.

“This is the residential area.” Bai Yiyuan said, “You'll be staying here tonight. Someone will brief you on the details soon.”

He paused for a moment, then added, “One more thing—at Xiajing Academy, most things can be traded. But remember, all exchanges must be voluntary. Coercion is strictly forbidden.”

A young man was already waiting. Upon seeing Bai Yiyuan, he hurried over and offered a respectful salute, "Greetings, Lord White God."

Bai Yiyuan’s reputation carried immense weight throughout the Shenxia Empire, revered by countless people.

Lin Moyu hadn’t said anything aloud—but inwardly, he too held Bai Yiyuan in high regard.

Bai Yiyuan nodded, “He’s in your care now. I’ll be going.”

Turning to Lin Moyu, he offered a final word: “Rest well. Someone will come for you tomorrow.”

Bai Yiyuan was a man with many responsibilities—he couldn’t possibly attend to everything personally. For him to escort Lin Moyu himself was a rare honor. In the entire Shenxia Empire, only a handful of people could claim such treatment.

Lin Moyu’s expression remained calm. His tone matched it—flat and composed, “Okay.”

The reply was just one word.

Bai Yiyuan said nothing in return. But the young man beside them was visibly startled.

No one spoke to Bai Yiyuan in such a casual, indifferent tone. The young man had never witnessed anything like it before.

Yet Bai Yiyuan simply nodded, then turned and walked away—his figure fading into the night in the blink of an eye.

The young man didn’t dare show any disrespect. After all, Lin Moyu was personally brought here by Bai Yiyuan. That alone placed him far above ordinary new students.

He straightened himself and asked politely, “You’re Lin Moyu, correct?”

Lin Moyu gave a nod, “Yes.”

His voice remained as placid as before.

The young man felt slightly unsettled. Lin Moyu’s demeanor came off as distant and cold.

Still, he knew better than to comment.

“We have a few options for accommodations.” He said, regaining his professional tone, “Where would you like to stay?”

Xiajing Academy’s residential area was enormous, offering multiple living arrangements to suit different needs: four-person room, double room, single room, and villa.

Naturally, the more exclusive the space, the higher the cost.
