Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 35 If Heaven had not given birth to Su Xinyan, the dead would have lived in eternal darkness

Lu Hu patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "You're a good kid."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Major Su has a somewhat eccentric personality and is quite proud of his talents. You should be a little more modest."

Fangzhou nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived in front of the office building.

Following Lu Hu into an office, Fang Zhou immediately spotted a woman sitting at the desk.

She had a cascade of silver hair that contrasted sharply with her long black dress, like a symphony of darkness and moonlight.

Her figure was curvaceous, and glimpses of her fair skin occasionally appeared between the folds of her skirt. Her stunning beauty was like a rose in the world of the dead, blooming in the darkness yet exuding an irresistible allure and dangerous charm.

Bai Xiaochun is also very beautiful, a true campus beauty.

But compared to the silver-haired woman in the black dress, she still appears somewhat more childish and less sophisticated.

Lu Hu called out, "Major Su, I've brought the Ark."

Su Xinyan looked up at Fang Zhou, her fair face expressionless.

She stood up, her silver stilettos clicking as she slowly walked to Fang Zhou.

With a slight twitch of her delicate nostrils, she suddenly placed her slightly cold hand on Fang Zhou's neck, then leaned down to sniff, her eyes filled with a hint of intoxication.

"Ah, the sweet scent of death."

Upon seeing this, Lu Hu shuddered and quickly turned to leave, saying, "You two talk, I won't disturb you."

Fang Zhou cursed Instructor Lu Hu in his heart for being unreliable, but he couldn't say anything to Su Xinyan, whom he had just met, so he could only let her sniff around him.

Fortunately, Su Xinyan quickly returned to normal.

She gestured for Fang Zhou to sit down, and said with a somber expression, "I seem to see endless shadows of death upon you. No necromancer in this world is closer to death than you, not even me..."

Fang Zhou's face darkened; Su Xinyan's words seemed to be cursing him, saying that he was not far from death.

However, after pondering it carefully for a while, he was amazed by Su Xinyan's keen perception.

Having a skeletal clone in the Netherworld naturally puts one closer to death than anyone else.

Could it be that Su Xinyan has really sensed her necromancer talent?

Afterwards, Su Xinyan asked Fangzhou a few questions about his reasoning for the three skeletal spells, and Fangzhou answered fluently.

Fangzhou also took the opportunity to ask Su Xinyan many questions that had been accumulating for a long time, such as the reasoning behind the necromancer's movement skills and the ways to enhance the strength of summoned creatures, etc. Su Xinyan answered them one by one.

The inspiration that burst forth in his words made Su Xinyan's beautiful eyes light up, and her expression was no longer as cold as before.

She looked at the ark with empty eyes and a desolate expression, her words revealing a sense of loneliness.

"I have been walking alone on this dark road for too long, and now I finally have a fellow traveler."

Then, she changed the subject, seemingly casually tilting her head, and said, "Fang Zhou, do I look good with my hair color?"

Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback; the topic had changed too suddenly.

But he quickly recovered and praised, "Instructor Su has a head of silver hair, and she is absolutely beautiful."

Su Xinyan smiled slightly and said softly, "It has been silver ever since the day I awakened."

My father said that this was the manifestation of the power of the dead in a physical form.

Alas, outsiders have too high expectations of me, always saying things like, "If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, Su Xinyan, the dead would be shrouded in eternal darkness."

But no one understands the pressure and loneliness in my heart.

Fang Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, slowly realizing what was going on.

This Instructor Su, doesn't he look a bit like a larger version of Ye Fan?

He controlled his expression, revealing a genuine look of amazement.

Seeing this, Su Xinyan felt secretly pleased.

She gave herself a perfect score for her smug act.

Since learning that the person who developed the skeletal skill tree was a boy who had just turned 18, Su Xinyan felt a mix of resentment and jealousy in addition to her original admiration.

The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward; is she, the front wave, destined to be swept away by the back wave, Fangzhou?

So she had already planned out the dialogue for her first appearance today, determined to create a superior persona in front of Fang Zhou.

In retrospect, the plan has been quite successful.

After finishing the small talk, Su Xinyan steered the conversation back on track.

"Fangzhou, you broke through to the intermediate level of apprentice in just one month."

This speed is unprecedented at Haicheng Military Academy.

Even within the entire Human Alliance, only in the first two years of the Mythical Era did some innate awakeners achieve this.

Sigh, even I spent a month and a few days back then.

Besides your exceptional talent, do you have any other skills?

Fang Zhou knew his breakthrough speed was too exaggerated, and he had anticipated Su Xinyan's question. He already had an answer in mind.

He looked at Su Xinyan and said frankly, "Instructor Su, I've slightly modified the [Skull Meditation Method], and the meditation efficiency has improved a bit."

Su Xinyan gave a soft "Oh," her expression calm, though she wasn't overly surprised.

The Skeleton Meditation Method was developed through the collective efforts of generations of necromancers. Not to mention Ark, even she herself had personally improved it.

She asked, "Then why didn't you upload the Human Union skill library?"

Fang Zhou smiled and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I uploaded four new skills before, and I don't have enough contribution points to spend right now, so I forgot about it for a while."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyan felt a lump in her throat and almost lost her composure.

Are you even speaking human language?!

Fang Zhou consciously opened his personal terminal and said to Su Xinyan, "Instructor Su, let me send you a copy. Please also help me check it out."

Su Xinyan barely managed to suppress the urge to beat up Fang Zhou, and said casually, "No problem."

As a skill developer, Ark has the right to share skills with others for free.

Soon, Su Xinyan received the skill book for the [Skeleton King Meditation Method].

Upon seeing the name, she silently cursed it in her mind.

A skeleton is a skeleton, why bother with this "Skeleton King" thing?

This Fang Zhou looked humble and polite, but his tone was even more arrogant than hers.

Su Xinyan opened her personal terminal and casually browsed a few of the modified meditation imagery diagrams from Ark, feeling somewhat unconvinced.

The latest version of the "Skull Meditation Method" is the result of her own improvements, which she believes she has perfected.

Su Xinyan was confident that even if Fang Zhou's talent in the necromancer profession was indeed higher than hers, he wouldn't be able to make many improvements to the apprentice-level meditation method.

But as she looked at it, her initial indifference gradually turned into shock.

The skull imagery in the "Skeleton King Meditation Method" seemed to possess a profound magic, completely absorbing her mind and spirit.

Unbeknownst to her, a majestic figure seemed to appear in Su Xinyan's mental world, wearing a skeletal crown, majestic bone armor, and wielding a skeletal spear.
