Chapter 23 Rope Art Master
As skill projections appeared on the personal terminal, the attribute panel and skill bar immediately changed.
"Sufficient skill materials have been detected to deduce an unknown skill. It is estimated that 10 points of soul power will be consumed."
"Shall we begin the simulation?"
Fangzhou immediately confirmed this, and then entered his familiar state of bursting inspiration.
【Aging Ray】is an apprentice skill of the necromancer. Enemies hit by the ray will have their stamina, energy, and movement speed slightly reduced.
【Entangled Vines】 refers to the sturdy wooden vines that grow from the ground and entangle the enemy, making it difficult for them to move.
【Mud Swamp】 creates a muddy swamp that is difficult to pass through, greatly slowing down the movement speed of enemies.
The "Earth Wall Technique" creates an earthen wall that is difficult for enemies to cross.
【Web Technique】Imitates the spraying of webs by mutated spiders. It has extremely strong stickiness and will bind those hit.
In Ark's mind, these five control skills and the skeleton clone's instinctive skeletal weaponry quickly merged together.
In an instant, a brilliant idea struck him.
"Successfully activated the deduction skill [Bone Shackles]".
[Bone Shackles] (Apprentice Level, Proficient): Condenses necromantic power into sturdy bone shackles to bind the enemy, making it difficult for them to move or fight. The strength of the binding, duration, and casting range depend on the Spirit attribute and skill proficiency.
"Powerful control skills!" Fangzhou clenched his fist excitedly.
With the addition of the Skeleton Shackles, another weakness in the combat system has finally been addressed.
It will be absolutely impossible for that kid Ye Fan to unleash the Fallen Strike in front of him again.
Fangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Our strength has improved again; let's kill a few skeletons to liven things up.
Clone, activate!
......
Time always flies when you're having a good time.
Several more days have passed.
In the desolate wasteland shrouded by the blood moon, as a pile of bones turned to ashes, the skeletal clone roared to the sky.
After listening to Bai Xiaochun's "Lullaby" once a day, Fangzhou's speed in controlling the skeleton clone to fight monsters and level up has further increased.
Finally, it was promoted from intermediate apprentice to senior apprentice.
This advancement not only makes the skeleton clone larger than before, but also makes its skeletal structure more solid and powerful, exuding an undeniable sense of strength.
The once pale bones now gleam with a cold, eerie light, as if every bone had been imbued with an invisible force, becoming stronger and more durable.
[Clone] Skeleton
【Level】Apprentice·Higher Rank
[Attributes] Strength 8, Constitution 7, Agility 7, Spirit 6
[Equipment] Bone Spear (Gray, Low Quality)
[Skills] Skeleton Armor (Instinct), Brutal Strike (Mastery), Charge (Proficiency), Weapon Specialization (Proficiency), Parry (Mastery), War Cry (Mastery)
[Soul Power] 50
[Parry] and [Battle Cry] are the new skills that Ark has taught to the Skeleton clones in the past few days.
【Parry】(Apprentice level, mastered): Adopt a defensive stance to block the next incoming attack, reducing the damage received. The success rate of the parry and the degree of damage reduction depend on the constitution attribute and skill proficiency.
【Battle Cry】(Apprentice Level, Mastered): Unleash an inspiring battle cry, increasing your Strength, Constitution, and Agility for a certain period of time. The duration and the magnitude of the attribute increase depend on your Strength attribute and skill proficiency.
The current skeleton clone possesses five major combat skills, making its combat power absolutely superior to all apprentice-level skeletons.
Therefore, it's time to explore deeper.
As the skeleton clone advanced, the skeletons it encountered were mostly at the mid-apprentice level.
The skeletons' bones had become harder, and occasionally, faint blue light would appear in their originally dull bone marrow cavities, symbolizing the fusion of power and necromantic energy.
However, no matter how strong their bones are, they cannot withstand the sudden attack of the skeleton clones.
Not far ahead, a burly skeleton spotted the skeleton clone.
It roared as it charged toward the ark, brandishing its sharp bone claws.
Fang Zhou remained unmoved, gently raising his hand, and the skeletal spear instantly sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
Brutal strike!
With a flick of his wrist, the spear shot out like an arrow, accurately piercing the chest of the charging skeleton warrior.
Before the bone claws could even touch the ark, their attack was completely shattered by this thunderous strike.
The skeletal spear pierced the enemy's body in an instant, then was pulled out.
The whole process was clean and efficient, as smooth and natural as an artist wielding a brush.
The skeleton warrior that was hit instantly exploded into a pile of powder, and the essence of the bones contained within was instantly absorbed by the skeleton clone.
Strength +0.1, Soul Power +0.5.
The Ark Soul Flame trembled, and the familiar feeling of fullness returned.
At this rate, the next goal is to advance to Black Iron and evolve into a Skeleton Warrior! It will be achieved very soon.
......
Another fulfilling day.
Demon Hunter research group, in the training ground.
Ye Fan was once again firmly bound by the skeletal shackles, lying stiffly on the floor like a salted fish.
In the past few days of battles, he has basically ended each day in this state.
Therefore, bystanders like Chen Qingshan and Bai Xiaochun were no longer surprised.
Although Ye Fan is a demon hunter who is one in a million, Fang Zhou, who is fighting against him, is a genius and prodigy who is unparalleled in the world.
Being ravaged like this by the Ark is Ye Fan's good fortune.
Seeing that the match was over, Chen Qingshan gestured for the researchers to pack up their testing equipment and asked with a smile, "Tomorrow is the bi-weekly rest day at Haicheng Military Academy. Are you going home?"
Bai Xiaochun replied without hesitation, "My home is in Haicheng, of course I have to go back. I've been training for half a month, it's time to take a break."
Ye Fan slowly got up from the ground, his eyes seemingly spitting fire: "I'm not going back!"
"Instructor, I want extra practice!"
Fangzhou was slightly taken aback.
His days were so full that, like a tightly wound spring, he had completely forgotten that his day off was approaching.
After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded, saying, "I should go back. There are two little ones waiting to hear my stories about going to school."
After spending half a month with Fang Zhou, everyone present knew that he was an orphan of a martyr who had grown up in a welfare home in Haicheng.
Bai Xiaochun pursed her lips, actually wanting to ask where the Ark Welfare Home was located.
But before she could ask a question, Fang Zhou snapped his fingers to dismiss the skeleton soldiers and left the laboratory with a nonchalant air.
In the dormitory, Fangzhou was organizing the supplies list.
The orphanage he came from is called Cloud Orphanage. It is a small orphanage and currently only houses a few children.
The dean was an old lady named Wen Yun, and the children all called her Grandma Yun.
After developing the new skill "Bone Chains," Fangzhou uploaded it to the Federation's skill library. As a result, he received an additional 100 contribution points, bringing his total to 200.
After thinking for a moment, he exchanged his 10 contribution points for 10 Dragon Summer Coins.
