Chapter 20 Make the Necromancer Great Again
Chapter 20 Make the Necromancer Great Again
Chen Qingshan waved his hand dismissively.
"Someone, get Fangzhou a bottle of mental energy recovery potion."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou felt even more envious of Ye Fan's research group.
Mental energy recovery potion, as the name suggests, can greatly increase the speed of mental energy recovery after drinking.
Although not as precious as the Soul Soothing Potion, it still requires E-level access.
Fang Zhou and the other corporals had no way to exchange for it on their own.
Fangzhou took the bottle handed to him by a researcher, glanced at it briefly, and saw that it contained a colorless and transparent liquid.
I drank it all in one gulp, and a soothing feeling spread through my mind.
Fang Zhou sat down cross-legged, and soon, under the stimulation of the medicine, his mental strength recovered to about 30%.
He then stood up and gestured to the instructors.
Under Chen Qingshan's arrangement, a complete test puppet was moved to the training ground.
Fangzhou stood in front of the test puppet and began to unleash the Bone Spear skill.
As mental energy was depleted, a 1.5-meter-long, pure white spear composed of bones floated in front of the ark.
Under his mental control, the skeletal spear flew toward the test puppet on the training field at an extremely fast speed.
Clang!
With a sharp whooshing sound, the skeletal spear slammed into the test puppet.
Click.
The skeletal spear shattered into pieces, and the test puppet's display screen flickered violently.
"Attack power 85!"
Upon seeing this, the researchers were in an uproar.
For an apprentice-level skill, the Bone Spear's damage is definitely top-tier.
Previously, the [Chain Wind Energy Missile] released by [Storm Mage] Gu Zhi Qiu only had an attack power of 72.
Following this, under the testing of these professional researchers, Ark demonstrated the mental energy consumption, casting range, and flight speed of the [Bone Spear] skill.
After comprehensive evaluation, the attributes of the Bone Spear are far superior to those of other necromancer attack skills of the same level, such as Death Missile and Corrosive Touch.
It can be said that, during the apprenticeship stage, the emergence of this skill completely made up for the necromancer's lack of direct attack ability.
Afterwards, Ark demonstrated the defensive capabilities of the Bone Shield.
At the researcher's signal, he conjured a skeletal shield, which hovered in front of him.
The test puppet slowly gathered its strength and then unleashed a punch.
Click.
After a brief stalemate, the bone shield shattered into dust.
On the test puppet's display screen, several large characters were also displayed.
"Defense capability 80!"
It appears that the Bone Shield's defensive capabilities are not as high as the Bone Spear's offensive capabilities.
However, it is already stronger than Earth Knight Zhao Yuan's [Will of the Rock].
Its attack power rivals that of a Storm Mage, and its defense rivals that of an Earth Knight.
If it weren't for Fangzhou's repeated demonstrations, no instructor or researcher would have believed that such powerful skills could have been deduced by a novice necromancer on his own.
In the silence, Lu Hu couldn't help but exclaim, "Fang Zhou, you were simply born to be a necromancer!"
With these two skills, a necromancer's combat power is definitely top-notch during the apprentice stage.
If you continue to explore your potential, you might even be able to create an entire skill tree based on skeletal structures.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou nodded slightly; this was exactly what he was doing.
In the presence of a group of instructors and researchers, Fangzhou uploaded the two skills he had developed, Skeleton Spear and Skeleton Shield, to the Human Union skill library.
"Ding-dong, Corporal Fangzhou, 200 contribution points have been credited to your account."
As the developer of a new skill, 50% of the subsequent redemption fees for that skill will become your personal income.
Thank you for your contributions to humanity!
With a pleasant notification sound from his personal terminal, Ark happily earned 200 contribution points.
The instructors looked at Fangzhou with some envy.
Those who can independently deduce new skills are one in ten thousand.
This is the result of both talent and hard work.
Others not only envied him, but also admired him greatly.
"Fangzhou, you have so many contribution points now, how do you plan to use them?" Lu Hu asked from the side.
"Instructor, I want to continue developing the control and movement skills of the skeleton system, but I'm running out of inspiration."
Later, I plan to exchange for some other skills related to legal professions to increase my knowledge base and see if it can inspire me.
Lu Hu nodded.
"You're right, but I have something to remind you of."
As a beginner, you have limited energy, and trying to do too much at once is a big no-no.
More skills are not necessarily better; rather, the more refined and stronger they are, the better.
Even though you are a genius, you must still be mindful of this.
Fang Zhou nodded solemnly, taking Lu Hu's words to heart.
Since enrolling, Lu Hu has taken great care of me.
Fangzhou is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment; he naturally knows how others have treated him well.
Lu Hu then said, "You should also know about the seed list, right?"
If you can become a seed student at Haicheng Military Academy, you will enjoy more resource support, which will be very beneficial to your personal growth.
The next simulated battlefield is a crucial step.
You must prepare carefully and give full play to your talents.
If you have extra contribution points, you can consider exchanging them for some apprentice-level equipment.
Although they cost a lot of contribution points, they can accelerate cultivation and enhance combat capabilities, so they are still worth it.
For example, as you just experienced, staves can enhance the power of spells, while rings and necklaces can increase the maximum mental energy and accelerate mental energy recovery.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's heart stirred slightly.
When I used the [Apprentice Staff] just now, both the casting speed and the spell effect were indeed increased to some extent.
It seems that to improve combat power, in addition to working on the four-dimensional attributes and skills, it is also necessary to put exchanging for equipment on the agenda.
Seeing Fang Zhou's thoughtful expression, Lu Hu encouraged him, "Don't worry, your talent is obvious to all."
Instructor Chen and I will report your performance today to the school.
If all goes well, perhaps in the future you will also be able to have a research team like Ye Fan's.
Fangzhou was overjoyed.
Instructor Lu Hu is a very reliable person. Since he said that, he must be quite confident.
It seems that I made the right choice by showing off my talent a little today.
......
In the principal's office, Lu Hu, holding Chen Qingshan's hand, was happily reporting the day's events to Su Tiankuo.
"Bone spears? Bone shields?"
A mere apprentice in the Ark has actually managed to develop a skill tree based on skeletal structures.
After watching the battle recording between Fang Zhou and Ye Fan today, Su Tiankuo's expression was slightly surprised.
Even as a legendary powerhouse with profound experience and enduring strength, he never imagined that Ark would have such a brilliant performance.
The previous day's achievements in introductory meditation and summoning 20 skeletons only demonstrated Ark's talent and combat strength.
However, it was far less impactful on Su Tiankuo than the two new skills that Fangzhou independently developed.
