When the bone helmet was taken off, even Yan Wuyue was shocked.
This was because Zhou Mingrui's current appearance was no longer that of a simple skeleton.
The soul flames in his eye sockets had already transformed into a faint blue energy layer that enveloped his entire head, turning it into a head similar to that of an ordinary person.
His appearance was so handsome that even Yan Wuyue's heart couldn't help but beat faster when she first saw him.
His extraordinarily handsome appearance, coupled with the faint soul flame halo around him, made him look even more domineering.
"You, what's with your change? And when did you actually kill that orangutan?"
Yan Wuyue was really confused and had no idea what had happened. She could only ask subconsciously.
"I'm indeed the skeleton from before, but I don't have to answer your questions."
Zhou Mingrui removed his bone helmet and revealed his true appearance.
Unlike his previous appearance as a skeleton, the light blue soul flame had spread from his eyes to his entire head, forming a translucent layer of energy.
The energy layer outlined the shape of his facial features. With the long hair condensed from energy, it formed an extremely handsome appearance.
Even from Yan Wuyue's point of view, she had to admit that Zhou Mingrui's current handsome appearance made her heart flutter.
In addition to the imposing manner of the bone armor, it added an indescribable temperament to him.
"He's directly evolved into an Undead Knight. How long have we been apart? What is going on?"
At that moment, she was extremely puzzled. Even with her experience from her previous life, she could not tell what had happened to Zhou Mingrui.
"Alright, all the monsters around here had been killed by me. That should be the boss of this territory. Let's go elsewhere."
Zhou Mingrui did not answer. Instead, he used an indifferent tone to remind her.
"I understand."
Yan Wuyue did not refute and readily agreed. At this moment, she no longer had her previous arrogant attitude. The hatred she had for Zhou Mingrui from the bottom of her heart had also disappeared.
It was unknown if it was because Zhou Mingrui had become more powerful or because of his handsome face.
Yan Wuyue didn't know this either. Could it be like what the women around her had said, a handsome appearance could easily lower the guard of the opposite sex?
"Based on the strength he displayed just now, he had already reached the peak of B rank and was close to an A rank."
"As long as I can sign a contract with him, with the addition of powerful attributes, my strength will definitely become stronger than before, and it will not be just a little stronger!"
"In that case, with the advantage of my rebirth, it shouldn't be a problem for me to reach the Epic grade. I might even touch the Legendary grade!"
"As long as I can reach the Legendary grade, I'll have a great chance of turning the tide and solving the disaster even if I'm faced with a great calamity!"
"But with my previous attitude towards him, if I speak rashly now, he will definitely ignore me. What can I do to ease our relationship?"
Yan Wuyue's heart began to struggle. It was the first time she felt so conflicted that she didn't know what to do.
"Focus your attention. Next, you will attract the monsters' attention and then gather them together as much as possible."
"Ah, alright."
Yan Wuyue quickly agreed, but for the first time, she felt uncomfortable.
In the past, she had always been the one to say these words to her subordinates or the weak. No one had ever said this to her. This feeling gave her a strange feeling that she had never felt before.
At this moment, Zhou Mingrui was also thinking about the matter of "Contract Coherence". He was thinking about how he could have a conversation with the girl in front of him without losing his dignity and grace regarding the signing of the contract.
After all, with the other party's attitude from before, Zhou Mingrui couldn't possibly be eager to get them to sign the contract. That would be embarrassing.
However, before Zhou Mingrui was reborn as an Undead Spirit, he was just an ordinary person. He was not a Sea King or a Master of Psychology.
Thus, the two of them didn't speak at all, and they embarked on the journey to hunt down the monsters in the secret realm.
....
At the endpoint.
"Old Liu, who do you think will get first place in this group of newcomers?"
A third-year student sitting next to the gate of the finish line yawned in boredom and asked another student next to him.
"It should be the guy who summoned the spirit knight and then tested for a C grade growth talent."
"I think his name is Zhang Shenglong, right?"
"Yes, that's him. To be honest, if we wait for him to reach third grade, we might all be hung up and beaten by him."
"Hey, I remember that the first place should have been a girl, Yan Wuyue, right?"
"That's right. She summoned a skeleton with the lowest talent. What else can she do?"
"What a pity. She's so beautiful, and everyone had high hopes for her."
"Who can you blame for this? Before this, she always gave everyone a sour face, as if she was a white swan while everyone else were toads. It's infuriating just looking at her."
"Yeah, her teacher had been on her side because of her talent, but yesterday's summoning made her so angry that she left. She must not want to waste her energy on a piece of trash."
"Hahaha, I really want to see how that self-righteous woman looks when she comes here."
"Me too, but I don't think she'll even make it to the finish line. Hahahaha."
Just as the two of them were bantering with each other, a figure appeared at the end.
"Someone's coming!"
The two students guarding the door immediately stopped talking and got up to welcome the person. After all, the student in front of them might be a big shot in the future.
If they didn't suck up to this person now, when else would they do it?
However, when they saw the appearance of the person who had come, the two of them were stunned.
With Zhou Mingrui's hearing, he could naturally hear the conversation between the two. However, he did not mind it. After all, they were just two clowns.
"Junior Yan, as your senior, it's my duty to remind you that if you don't kill enough monsters, you won't be able to get a ranking even if you're the first to arrive."
One of the taller senior students warned with a stern expression.
"That's right. Junior, you can't let us break the rules, right?"
A short and fat senior student next to him sized up Yan Wuyue with a perverted look.
Yan Wuyue suddenly had a look of disgust. She wasn't a fool, and she knew what the other party's gaze meant.
