Chapter 170 The Next [Instinct], The Rise of the Skeletons
Silently sensing the [Berserker Mark] radiating a dazzling purple light within the soul fire, Fangzhou shook his head slightly with some regret.
Crossing the spacetime dimension between the Netherworld and Earth is indeed quite difficult.
It's unclear when he'll be able to successfully establish a stable teleportation channel between his main body and his clone.
Coming to his senses, Fangzhou decisively activated the attribute panel and embedded the [Level 1 Bone Stone] into the skeletal armor, further enhancing its defensive capabilities.
Then Ark directed the skeleton servants to search the vicinity, but they did not find any other similar gems.
He looked around. The prey that had left behind a gem after its death was hunted by Team One from the southeast.
Perhaps, some unexpected discoveries will be made in the southeast.
If this wasn't just a chance encounter with the prey, it means there might be an undiscovered undead resource point hidden nearby.
Thinking of this, the Ark's soul fire trembled, and after preparation, it focused its exploration and hunting efforts on the southeast.
However, there's no need to rush.
He had been hunting for hours today, and his soul was beginning to feel weary.
The next area will have to wait until later to be explored. With this thought in mind, Ark found a safe corner and, under the protection of its loyal skeleton minions, "logged off" its clone.
Awakening from his "meditation," Fangzhou stood up and stretched.
It was already late at night.
The night was dark and the wind was high; the night was deep and the dew was heavy.
Fang Zhou yawned slightly and was about to leave the meditation room when he saw a message from Meng Hongzhuang on his personal terminal.
Senior Sister Butterfly Dance?
Naturalist professional?
Trading Changchun fruit?
Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow and nodded with some satisfaction.
Meng Hongzhuang's assistant is quite competent; she found him a client in such a short time.
Tomorrow we'll see what resources this Senior Sister Butterfly Dance can offer in the trade.
Instructor Su Xinyan had just repaired the [Goblin Sealing Bone Bell] for him and needed to seal a flying spirit beast to act as Eagle Eye.
The second-year senior must be very wealthy!
Hehehe!
Fangzhou casually sent an encouraging emoji in the [Necromancer Support Group] chat group, then left the meditation room and headed towards the dormitory.
Perhaps it was because the three consecutive days of underground hunting were too intense and exciting, or perhaps it was because he had slept for several hours in the afternoon, but after washing up, Fangzhou found himself unusually unable to fall asleep for a long time.
He simply opened his personal terminal and began to review the experimental records that Instructor Su Xinyan had given him that afternoon regarding the creation of skeletal weapons for apprentice-level skeletons.
Although Instructor Su's experiment failed, it left behind a lot of valuable data, providing Ark with the ability to eliminate many impassable approaches.
As Fangzhou looked at the experimental data, he thought of his skull clone.
After such a long period of practice, the two apprentice-level combat skills, [Brutal Strike] and [Charge], which the clone had learned before, have both reached the [Instinct] level of proficiency.
Furthermore, with the help of the attribute panel and the power of soul, Ark successfully evolved these two apprentice-level skills with great potential to the Iron level, thereby greatly enhancing the combat power of the skeleton clones.
When Ark was controlling the skeleton clone just now, he had another distinct feeling.
As his clone continues to fight and kill using the [Bone Spear], his first passive skill, [Weapon Mastery], is about to reach the [Instinct] level of proficiency.
By then, Ark will not only be able to consume soul power to advance the [Weapon Mastery] skill to the Black Iron level, but also be able to find suitable advancement directions and skill materials for [Weapon Mastery] from the Black Iron level skill library of Haicheng Military Academy.
More importantly, for the main body, the weapon specialization skill that reaches the [Instinct] level can also serve as a knowledge base, becoming excellent material for deduce skills for the main body.
According to Fangzhou's idea, using the [Instinct] level [Weapon Mastery] skill as material, along with the research on the [Berserker Heroic Spirit] Olaf and Su Xinyan's previous experimental records, it might actually be possible to deduce a skill that can generate skeletal weapons.
With wonderful dreams in mind, the Ark finally fell into a deep sleep before it knew it.
The next morning, Haicheng Military Academy was bustling with activity because of the ring challenge.
Nearly 10,000 new students flocked to the military academy's first training ground.
This is an open-air training ground specifically built for ring battles, large enough to accommodate several people.
At this moment, dozens of magical messengers rose into the sky above the training ground, playing a loop of basic information and combat footage of this year's military academy seedings.
The surrounding stands were filled with first-year students who had not been selected for military academy.
Apart from Bai Xiaochun and 10 other support professionals who are not good at direct combat, the other 90 military academy candidates, whether combat or magic professionals, have all been tested in simulated battlefields and selected from three consecutive days of underground hunting.
As the saying goes, true gold is refined in fire!
All the first-year students who watched the live stream of the seed candidates' underground hunt saw the high quality of this year's military academy candidates and were naturally convinced of it.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating the fierce battle that is about to unfold today.
On the stands, in the area where they are located,
Fangzhou's oval-faced fangirl was craning her neck to look at the seeded students who were entering the arena one after another.
After looking for a while, she still hadn't seen Fang Zhou. She couldn't help but look at her companion beside her and anxiously asked, "Have you seen Fang Zhou? Why hasn't he come yet?"
The female student next to the girl with the oval face laughed and said, "The big boss always appears last, why are you in such a hurry?"
Besides, given Ark's unparalleled strength, I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to waste their precious challenge opportunity on him.
The number one seed is definitely Fang's for the taking; we don't need to worry about it.
She looked at Ye Fan, who stood in the center of the arena with a disdainful expression and an arrogant demeanor, and said with a curious look in her eyes, "I am more concerned about who will be the No. 2 seed than Fang Zhou."
It is said that as soon as the results of the underground hunt came out, Ye Fan issued a challenge to Meng Hongzhuang.
They'll definitely have a match today, but I wonder who will win?
Hearing her companion's words, the girl with the oval face nodded silently, but her eyes still darted back and forth in the crowd, trying to find the Ark as soon as possible.
In the stands, Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi, the second-year students Fangzhou had met before, were once again tasked with maintaining order at the training ground. They were methodically directing the first-year students to enter and watch the game.
Lu Yiyi looked up at the magical messenger in mid-air, and Fang Zhou's handsome face and his impressive achievements flashed on the screen.
