Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 10 Testing the Puppet to Slay the Prodigy

Ye Fan let out a low roar and slammed two more punches into the same spot on the test puppet.

"Attack power 61!"

"Attack power 58!"

After throwing three punches, Ye Fan was completely exhausted. He looked at the count on the screen and his face was extremely pale.

The Abyss Lesser Demon is merely the weakest cannon fodder unit.

A genius like him, how could he not even break through the scales of a lesser demon?

Seeing this, the other trainees also fell silent, and the excitement in their eyes disappeared.

Ye Fan is a rare combat class, the Demon Hunter!

Even he could only score a maximum of 65, so the average professional players must be even worse.

In the midst of this silence, someone else raised their hand.

"Instructor, let me give it a try!"

Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound and saw that it was Gu Zhi Qiu, the Storm Mage.

Mages are generally stronger than warriors in terms of attack power, and Gu Zhi Qiu's awakened [Storm Mage] is even called the turret among turrets.

His performance should be a little better than Ye Fan's, right?

Gu Zhi Qiu calmly approached the test puppet, meeting the expectant gazes of the crowd.

He held his breath, extended his right index finger, and a thick layer of mist quickly formed.

"Chain of wind-powered missiles!"

A dozen or so white missiles flashed from his fingertips and shot straight at the test puppet.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With a pleasant thud, several scratches appeared on the puppet's body, and the display screen flickered.

"Attack power 72!"

Seeing this, Lu Hu nodded to himself; this achievement was outstanding even among previous freshmen.

The other trainees exclaimed in amazement.

"Gu Zhi Qiu's damage is so much higher than Ye Fan's! It seems there are differences even among rare classes!"

"There's definitely a difference in attack power, but the Demon Hunter is a very well-rounded and balanced class, and it deals extra damage to Abyss Demons. It's not fair to say Ye Fan is inferior to Gu Zhi Qiu!"

Gu Zhi Qiu's ears twitched slightly, a smile played on his lips, and he stood with his hands behind his back, calmly facing the envy and praise of the crowd.

This behavior infuriated Ye Fan, who clenched his fists.

Lu Hu coughed lightly: "Anyone else want to try?"

"Instructor, I want to test my defensive capabilities." A burly boy squeezed in front of the testing puppet.

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow in the crowd and recognized Zhao Yuan, who had awakened the [Earth Knight] class.

At the same time, he was also the lucky one who awakened a new skill and received a reward of 100 contribution points.

【Earth Knight】Zhao Yuan.

【Storm Mage】Gu Zhi Qiu.

Ye Fan, the Demon Hunter.

【The String of Chanting】Bai Xiaochan.

These four rare professionals are the most promising candidates among the cadets to enter the military academy's "seed" list.

As for Ark's Necromancer, although it is a rare class, it is subconsciously overlooked by everyone.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Lu Hu said with great interest, looking at the tall and strong Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan nodded, then assumed a horse stance in front of the puppet, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Immediately afterwards, a rich yellow light rose from the soles of his feet, and his entire being seemed to transform into an unchanging ancient rock.

"Unwavering Will!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuan was ready, Lu Hu controlled the test puppet to slowly gather power and then threw a punch at Zhao Yuan.

Bang!

With a dull thud, Zhao Yuan's face flushed red, and the dense yellow light covering his body quickly dissipated.

Just as he was about to be knocked away and suffer broken bones from the puppet's heavy punches, the test puppet intelligently stopped.

The display screen flashed: "Defense capability 70!"

Zhao Yuan took a few steps back, panting heavily, his eyes filled with shock.

Is this the power of a lesser demon?

This punch completely brought Zhao Yuan, who had been immersed in pride, back to his senses.

And this is precisely why Lu Hu brought out these test puppets.

In the days following their awakening, the trainees were all restless and smug, as if they were invincible.

Lu Hu felt that he should take some measures to curb their arrogance.

Seeing that the time was right, and that the three powerful rare professionals had all failed in front of the test puppet, Lu Hu decisively decided to withdraw while he was ahead.

He addressed the crowd, saying, "This is the most pathetic little demon in the abyss!"

There are no fewer than tens of millions of such cannon fodder units on the human-demon battlefield!

You have a long way to go, so don't get carried away.

Seeing the students' grim expressions, Lu Hu changed the subject and said, "Of course, you are all new recruits who have only been awakened for two days, and there is still a lot of room for growth."

Attributes, skills, equipment, potions, combat techniques, teamwork...

I believe that once you've mastered all of this, you'll be able to defeat not only these lesser demons, but even the abyss lords!

Alright, for the next hour, I'll set the puppet to sparring mode, and you can test it freely.

Don't worry, these puppets are all equipped with safety programs and will not cause you any harm.

One of the trainees muttered indignantly, "What if we destroy these puppets?"

Lu Hu, with his sharp ears and eyes, naturally heard these words. He waved his hand dismissively and said casually, "Hehe, no new recruit has ever successfully destroyed these puppets!"

If any of you can dismantle a puppet on your own today, that would be considered a record broken by the military academy.

I, Lu Hu, am willing to apply for a reward of 10, no, 20 contribution points for him in my capacity as an instructor!

Upon hearing that they could earn contribution points, the trainees, who had initially been somewhat reluctant to fight, immediately perked up.

20 contribution points are equivalent to 20 months of basic salary for these corporals.

The exchange price for an apprentice-level skill book is only 10 contribution points, enough to buy two books.

Fangzhou sat up straight immediately, which was a pleasant surprise!

It's worth exposing the [Bone Spear] skill for the sake of 20 contribution points.

Lu Hu grinned as he looked at the trainees' high spirits.

What a bunch of delusional brats.

He didn't tell the trainees that one thing these test puppets were far superior to the lesser demons of the abyss was that they had their own regenerative abilities.

Unless a force sufficient to destroy them is unleashed continuously in a short period of time, they can never be dismantled.

He pressed the controller, and the puppet started!

Ping pong.

Crackle, crackle.

The trainees were divided into ten groups and took turns challenging the ten test puppets.

"Fireball!"

"A devastating blow!"

"Petrifying Arrow!"

The puppet's display screen kept flashing.

"Attack power 48!"

"Attack power 41!"

"Defense capability 50!"

......

Several tens of minutes passed, and most of the students, including Ye Fan and Gu Zhi Qiu, were exhausted, while the ten puppets remained intact.

Their individual bursts of attack power may be very strong, but because they have just awakened, their mental and physical strength are very limited and not very sustainable.
