Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Fang Zhou's First Time

As the Skeleton Clone grows, Fang Zhou's main body is also affected, continuously getting stronger.

Thinking of this possibility, his eyes lit up slightly.

"It seems I need to become a Time Management Master in the future, neither the main body nor the clone can be neglected!"

He carefully studied the attribute bar again; strength, agility, and constitution should be calculated based on the growth value of the Skeleton Clone, converted at a ratio of one-tenth.

As for the Spirit attribute, it surprisingly increased by 0.01.

Could it be the effect of the [Skeleton Meditation Method]? But the main body just closed its eyes to rest, without deliberately practicing the Meditation Method.

Fang Zhou's mind worked quickly, and he soon thought of a possibility.

Perhaps due to the Skeleton Clone, he is constantly in a passive meditation state.

If this is true, then Fang Zhou's spirit attribute growth speed will exceed everyone's imagination!

Limited by the soul's capacity, a Professional's daily meditation time is limited.

A newly awakened Apprentice-level Professional, without auxiliary means, can meditate continuously for 1 hour a day at most.

However, Fang Zhou can remain in a meditative state all the time, which means an enormously significant growth advantage!

Fang Zhou kept this speculation in mind and started researching the changes in the skills bar.

He focused his attention on the "+" sign behind the skills available for inference.

"Detected that the skill of the clone has reached the [Instinct] proficiency, which can be used as skill material for the main body's inference of unknown skills, estimated to consume 10 Soul Power points."

"Would you like to start the inference?"

Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback; a Professional's skill strength, in addition to the division by Apprentice, Black Iron, and Bronze tiers, also has proficiency levels.

Proficiency, from low to high, are: Beginner, Master, Skilled, Mastery, Perfection, and Instinct.

[Skeleton Armament] is a Skeleton's Talent Skill, so its proficiency is directly the highest [Instinct].

"Start the inference!" Fang Zhou decisively gave the order.

It was like a pillow was delivered just when he was drowsy; he was troubled by having no useful skills for the main body, and did not expect such a surprise.

As the Soul Power points reached zero, Fang Zhou instantly entered a brainstorming mode.

He kept recalling in his mind the process of the Skeleton Clone using [Skeleton Armament] to create a Long Spear, and various novel ideas burst out from it.

The essence of the Skeleton's Skeleton Armament is a way of utilizing Undead Energy.

Theoretically, an Undead Mage can also simulate [Skeleton Armament] through Undead Mana.

The Skeleton Clone creates a bone Long Spear, and the main body can also condense Undead Mana into a Long Spear form.

Fang Zhou's mind flashed with inspiration.

"Inference of the skill [Skeleton Flying Spear] succeeded!"

[Skeleton Flying Spear] (Apprentice level, Skilled): Condenses a Skeleton Flying Spear to throw at the enemy, combining Armor-Piercing Physical Damage and Death Energy Damage, with quantity, power, range, etc., determined by Spirit attribute and skill proficiency.

A new skill is formed, and it even comes with [Skilled] level proficiency!

A smile appeared on Fang Zhou's handsome face.

As an Apprentice-level skill, what can [Death Missile] and [Weakening Beam] compare to my double damage type [Skeleton Flying Spear]?!

Of course, compared to [Skeleton Flying Spear] as an Apprentice-level new skill, more importantly, Fang Zhou has successfully developed the embryonic form of the Skeleton Series Undead Mage Skill Tree.

Since Undead Mana can condense into a Skeleton Flying Spear form, it also means it can be condensed into shields, armor, prisons, and various forms.

As long as there is enough Soul Power, [Skeleton Shield], [Skeleton Giant Claw], [Skeleton Prison], and various Skeleton Series skills, Fang Zhou can infer them all.

In the future, all Undead Mages must call him "Skeleton Tutor"!

How many contribution points does this mean!

Fang Zhou imagined a beautiful future and finally couldn't resist the soul's fatigue, falling into a deep sleep.

....

Meanwhile, Sea City Military Academy, in the conference room.

The instructors of each freshman platoon were reporting today's awakening status of the new students to Principal Su Tiankuo.

"There are a total of ten thousand new students in the entire school, 9103 of whom awakened successfully, 897 failed, with a success rate of about 91%."

"Among them, 6370 are Combat Professionals, 1820 Magic Professionals, and 913 Support Professionals, with a ratio of about 7:2:1."

"A total of 85 Rare Professionals, namely [Earth Knight] Zhao Yuan, [Chanting String] Bai Xiaochan, [Storm Mage] Gu Zhiqiu, [Demon Hunter] Ye Fan....."

"The military academy's new students' 'Seed' training quota is a total of 100 people, excluding the above 85 Rare Professionals, another 15 will be recommended into the potential candidate list based on awakened profession and personal quality, which are...."

After reading the long list of names, the office was silent.

Rare Professions, also known as high-potential professions, are divisions determined after statistically analyzing all of human high-tier powerhouses' professions.

High potential means a greater probability of entering high-tier, and combat power is generally stronger than ordinary professions.

And the 'Seed' training quota, as the name suggests, is the first cohort to be prioritally nurtured by the academy, which will receive greater resource tilt.

"Hmm, not bad." Su Tiankuo nodded slightly, his expression firm, his eyes sharp like hawks, as if he could see through everything.

"We need to provide psychological comfort to those new students who failed to awaken, and coordinate well with other ordinary universities for transfer arrangements. These kids are talents of the Federation, just a bit unlucky."

"Yes!" The instructors nodded one after another.

Principal Su arranged the next teaching tasks and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

Instructor Lu Hu hesitated a bit, but thinking of Fang Zhou's disappointed expression after awakening as an Undead Mage during the day, he couldn't help but stand up to report: "Report Principal, in the first platoon there is another new student Fang Zhou who awakened as an Undead Mage.

I want to recommend him for the 'Seed' candidate list."

Su Tiankuo glanced at him, speaking calmly: "The Undead Mage profession does indeed have a lot of potential, but practice has proven that its potential is difficult to realize.

The academy's resources are limited, and I have reservations about this."

Lu Hu said urgently: "But Major Xinyan is also an Undead Mage, her combat power is no weaker than other Mages!"

Su Tiankuo pulled a smile on his stern face: "Su Xinyan barely lived up to expectations with the full cultivation of me, her former Legendary father.

What capital does this Fang Zhou have?"

Lu Hu was speechless, and the other instructors remained silent.

Everyone knew that Principal Su was upright and straightforward, but the 'Legendary King's Crown' style wasn't something everyone could handle.

"Instructor Lu, I know you were once comrades with Fang Zhou's parents, and indeed they are heroes of the Federation.

However, the 'Seed' training list is of great importance, bringing not just resources, but also responsibility and obligations.

If the strength is insufficient, and virtues don't match the status, the consequence would be embarrassing, so it's better not to have personal motives."

Su Tiankuo stood up, gazing sharply at Lu Hu: "However, although I am inherently skeptical about Undead Mages, the orphans of martyrs deserve care.

I'll give you a promise: if Fang Zhou can achieve good results in the upcoming 'Simulation Battlefield' comparable to those of Rare Professionals, he will be allowed to join the list.

Now, dismissed!"
