Through this connection, Su Xinyan can enhance her connection with the Undead Realm, greatly benefiting her subsequent cultivation speed and even combat ability.
Meanwhile, the skeletal clone can intercept part of the Spiritual Power and knowledge during the Apostle’s meditation, converting it into Soul Power and skill materials.
Even when the skeletal clone’s strength improves to a certain level, it can communicate with the Apostle through the mysterious connection.
Fang Zhou was somewhat shocked in his heart.
However, with Su Xinyan beside him, all these matters could only be researched once he returned to the dormitory.
At this moment, Su Xinyan, who had transformed into the Steam Girl, barely calmed her embarrassed feelings, and her facial expression returned to normal.
Evidently, having successfully broken through to Gold, with Su Xinyan’s personality of enjoying showing off in public, she should have been boasting. Yet, for some reason, upon seeing Fang Zhou, she always felt a bit humbled.
Su Xinyan opened her personal terminal, sent Fang Zhou a confidential file, cleared her throat, and said seriously, "Fang Zhou, I won’t say too many words of gratitude.
This document contains my insights into the Undead Mage profession since my awakening, recording all my understanding and the deductions of new skills regarding the Undead Mage.
During the Apprentice Stage, I just deduced a healing magic called ’Resurrection of the Dead,’ which I haven’t had the chance to upload to the Human Alliance skill library yet. Perhaps it can inspire you.
Furthermore, regarding the ’Skeleton King Meditation Method,’ don’t rush to upload it yet. I’m trying to secure a related research project for you.
If successful, you can receive more contribution points as rewards through the project funding."
Fang Zhou had long envied Ye Fan’s Demon Hunter project group and was visibly pleased upon hearing this.
He said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Instructor Su, I will study it carefully."
Su Xinyan thought for a moment and then said, "Your performance on the simulation battlefield today has already been outstanding. Entering the military academy’s seed candidate list should be no problem.
But don’t get complacent; there will be a more intense ’Sequence Competition’ afterward.
You must do your best to become the number one seed, as it will greatly enhance your privileges and resources, significantly benefiting your personal growth."
Fang Zhou asked curiously, "Sequence Competition?"
Su Xinyan explained, "According to the Sea City Military Academy’s practice, the next month will screen 200 seed candidates based on simulation battlefield performances.
Afterward, these 200 people will determine the final 100 seeds and their rankings through the Sequence Competition.
The Sequence Competition takes various forms, such as comprehensive evaluations, fights in the ring, real combat missions, etc.
Becoming a military academy seed with your strength is certainly not a problem, but to become the one-in-a-million number one seed, you cannot be careless at all."
Fang Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
Su Xinyan waved at Fang Zhou and said, "If there’s nothing more, you should go back first.
I need to retreat for a few days to consolidate my realm; I’ll find you later.
Tomorrow’s apprentice middle rank simulation battlefield is team mode, and the difficulty is greater; you should perform well."
Fang Zhou saluted Su Xinyan and was about to leave.
At this moment, Su Xinyan suddenly thought of something, and a slight blush appeared on her beautiful face.
Her eyes wandered a bit, and she said vaguely, "By the way, Fang Zhou!
No more mentioning ’silver hair, one month and a few days’ in the future."
Facing away from Su Xinyan, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Fang Zhou’s mouth.
This Instructor Su looks like a mature woman but has quite an adorable personality.
He nodded silently and walked straight out of the office.
...
Back in the dormitory, Fang Zhou lay on the bed and sighed softly.
Today, he challenged four difficulty levels of the simulation battlefield in succession, communicated with Su Xinyan for a long time, and dealt with the changes in the attribute panel, leaving him feeling somewhat fatigued.
After resting for a while, Fang Zhou walked into the bathroom, with the sound of splashing water echoing and waves of mist rising.
After drying himself, he put on clean, loose-fitting clothes, as if all the dust had settled, and his mind was cleared.
Sitting on the bed, Fang Zhou focused his attention on the skeletal clone.
Opening the attribute bar, he was delighted to find that the Soul Power had increased from 35 to 36 points.
Undoubtedly, this was intercepted through Su Xinyan’s meditation.
Now, apart from combat, he had found a stable way to acquire Soul Power.
Fang Zhou studied the Apostle function for a while and regretfully found that because his only Apostle was a Golden Tier strong being, while the clone had only the strength of a lower Black Iron.
The gap was too large for him to perform other operations for the time being.
However, Fang Zhou vaguely felt that the Apostle function still had great development potential.
The only thing he could do now was to quickly increase the clone’s strength.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou’s Soul Fire flickered, and he skillfully gripped the skeletal long spear, taking heavy steps to continue sweeping among the Apprentice Tier skeletons.
Unknowingly, Fang Zhou ventured deeper into the Burial Wilderness.
The bloody moonlight grew denser, and the ground paved with skeletons also became denser.
After casually stabbing a skeleton to death, Fang Zhou suddenly stopped.
Just a few dozen meters ahead of him stood a robust skeleton wielding a greatsword.
Armored bones, Black Iron-level Skeleton Warrior.
This was Fang Zhou’s first encounter with a Black Iron-level Skeleton Warrior, indicating that he had already reached the border between Apprentice-level skeletons and Black Iron-level Skeleton Warriors.
Gripping the sharp skeletal long spear in his hand, gazing at the skeleton warrior boasting with a longsword, Fang Zhou had the urge to charge forward and take it down with one jab.
He let out a slow breath, reminding himself not to get carried away.
He must at least deduce the Brutal Strike skill to the Black Iron level before attempting to hunt these Skeleton Warriors.
With determination made, Fang Zhou decisively changed direction and continued his sweep.
Two hours later, in the Sea City Military Academy dormitory, Fang Zhou stretched.
He nodded with satisfaction. At this rate, it would take less than a week to practice Brutal Strike to instinct-level proficiency.
Looking at the dozens of accumulated points of Soul Power, Fang Zhou decisively opened his personal terminal and began reviewing the Undead Mage research insights Su Xinyan had given him.
Soon, he found the ’Resurrection of the Dead’ skill that Su Xinyan mentioned.
After reading the skill description, Fang Zhou’s eyes lit up.
The effect is quite simple and rough; it’s a healing skill targeting undead creatures, able to replenish undead mana on summoned undead creatures.
This way, as long as there is enough Spiritual Power, the enduring combat capability of Undead Summoned Creatures will be greatly enhanced.
"Detection of learnable skill materials, you can quickly learn by consuming 10 points of Soul Power."
"Would you like to start learning?"
Fang Zhou promptly decided to learn.
With the familiar burst of inspiration, he quickly grasped the principles of the ’Resurrection of the Dead’ skill.
