Chapter 48 The Skeleton Will (Ch 48)

“Skull and Bones?”

After hearing the name, all the students in the class gasped.

Even Ye Lingtian, who had always been arrogant and domineering, looked a little pale at this moment.

It’s not their fault.

Zhou Ke had already read a little about the history of this world.

The Skull and Bones Society is a top-level killer organization lurking in Dragon Country. Anyone they target will die tragically.

The key is the people they killed, there is no logic at all.

People from all walks of life and all kinds of identities have been killed.

Maybe one day, the Skull and Bones Society will target your family, or… yourself.

The government can do nothing about them.

All in all, Skull and Bones is a terrorist organization filled with sociopaths.

Therefore, all the nobles would change their faces when they heard the word “Skull and Bones Society”.

Professor Yuan Xing frowned:

“Are you serious? There are Platinum-level assassins in the Skull and Bones Society?”

Su Chenxi sighed:

“Yes, but it seems that this platinum-level demigod’s divine card ability is not a particularly powerful combat-related one.”

“So, he cannot pose a fundamental threat to the entire Dragon Nation.”

“However, platinum is still platinum. The strength of the Skull and Bones Society is comparable to that of the government.”

“Fortunately, the leader of the Skull and Bones Society doesn’t seem to like indiscriminate killing. He only selects [specific] targets and kills them.”

“No one who was targeted by them was spared.”

“And their current goal seems to be…”

Su Chenxi suddenly stopped talking.

The classmates seemed to have noticed something and looked towards Zhou Ke.

Yes, although for unknown reasons, the next target of the Skull and Bones Society is——

It’s Zhou Ke.

Professor Yuan Xing cleared his throat:

“The Skull and Bones Society isn’t that scary.”

“Didn’t Zhou Ke personally kill a Skull and Bones assassin during the freshman test?”

Ye Lingtian suddenly smiled evilly and said:

“It’s only temporary.”

“My dad said, never mess with the Skull and Bones Society.”

“Because if you kill one little assassin, there will be more coming.”

“He only killed a small fry, the real killer is yet to come.”

“They will never give up until they achieve their goal.”

“Historically, all those who were targeted by them died mysteriously.”

Ye Lingtian looked at Zhou Ke and said maliciously: “You will die sooner or later!”

Zhou Ke’s face was calm:

“I don’t care.”

“I said it when I killed that assassin…”

“I will kill as many as they come.”

“Okay!” Yuan Xing suddenly raised his voice and said angrily:

“Don’t be alarmist!”

“Enough of the small talk, let’s get back to class! Where were we?”

Zhou Ke replied: “You just mentioned the ascension of the divine tablets and the seven levels of divine tablets.”

Professor Yuan Xing returned to his usual serious expression:

“Yes. However, this course is [Magic Element Basics], and today’s main topic is still how to improve [Magic Element Level]…”

“Wait a minute, professor…” Zhou Ke suddenly raised his hand.

“What’s wrong?”

“I still want to learn about the knowledge of [Divine Card Ascension]…”

Yuan Xing frowned: “Didn’t we just discuss this? No one knows the secret of the divine tablet’s ascension.”

“I understand.” Zhou Ke immediately replied: “But, it’s just that no one knows about it, right? In other words…”

“Perhaps you understand life other than humans? For example… God?”

“God?” Yuan Xing didn’t understand what Zhou Ke meant for a moment.

“The relic of the gods – the Skull of the Prophet.” Zhou Ke just said these eight words briefly.

After hearing the words “relics of the gods”, all the students raised their heads at the same time and looked at Zhou Ke with interest.

They knew that Zhou Ke had obtained a relic from a god as a reward for winning the freshman assessment championship.

But they don’t know what it is exactly.

“Ah, the Skull of the Prophet.” Professor Yuan Xing had no objection to this topic:

“It seems that you have done your homework before. You know what this relic of God is used for?”

Zhou Ke nodded slightly: “The Prophet’s Skull houses an All-Knowing God.”

“He claims to know everything, past, present, and future.”

Zhou Ke remembered it very clearly. Just yesterday, when he thought he could not get any information from the Skull of the Prophet, the skull suddenly spoke.

……

Yesterday, the library.

[Tomorrow, in the “Basics of Magic” class, you will die.]

“What?”

[If you don’t do what I say, you will die.]

“No, are you out of your mind? Can I lose my life by attending a class?”

“No, you are just a hollow skull and you have no brains.”

【I am serious.】

[Someone wants to kill you. He fails, but he doesn’t give up.]

Tomorrow, he will succeed.

Zhou Ke immediately became serious and said that the Prophet’s Skull could predict the future.

Although he didn’t know whether it was true or not, since his own life was at stake, he would rather believe it.

“May I ask, Lord Prophet, how can I avoid this difficulty?”

【lighter.】

“What?”

【Bring your lighter to class tomorrow. 】

【It can save your life.】

“You are a god, and you know about lighters?”

【……】

The skull stopped talking again.

Zhou Ke attached great importance to the prophecy he made and immediately put the lighter away.

……

At this moment, in this basic magic element class, Zhou Ke seemed calm, but in fact he was already extremely alert.

While listening to Professor Yuan Xing’s lecture, he was observing the surrounding environment and secretly holding a lighter in his pocket, guarding against possible attacks.

However, up to this point in the class, it has only been communication between the professor and the students.

There’s no danger at all.

Could it be that the Skull of the Prophet is simply incapable of predicting the future?

“The Skull of the Prophet…” Professor Yuan Xing smiled: “Indeed. He knows.”

“What?” Zhou Ke was distracted for a moment, unsure of what he heard: “He knows?”

“He knows how to ascend to the divine tablet?”

“Of course.” Professor Yuan Xing said confidently: “He is a god, an omniscient god.”

“Unfortunately, He won’t tell us. This is the secret to becoming a god.”

“Zhou Ke, do you know…why the principal wanted to give you such a precious relic of God?”

Zhou Ke nodded politely: “I would like to hear more details.”

“Because the old principal has already asked all the questions he could.”

“He has already squeezed out all the knowledge that the Prophet’s Skull could reveal.”

“Of course, he didn’t know the secret of the divine tablet’s ascension.”

“But… maybe you could.”

“Me?” Zhou Ke asked, “Why?”

Professor Yuan Xing suddenly hesitated, as if considering whether to say:

“In fact, the Skull of the Prophet… asked to see you.”
