Chapter 212 Fully Armed, the Budding Form of a Natural Disaster (Minor Revisions)
Fang Zhou carefully observed the dejected look on the female student's face and knew that she had been severely hurt by him, so he quickly said, "It's okay."
I see that your mental energy fluctuates very frequently; it shouldn't be long before you break through to the middle apprentice level.
By then, your rock shield will be much stronger and will definitely be able to easily withstand the attacks of the spear-wielding skeletons.
Hearing Fang Zhou's words, the female student felt a little better.
She knew, of course, that even if she advanced to the intermediate level of apprentice, she might not be able to block the spear-wielding skeleton's attacks with her rock shield.
But at least, it brought her some psychological comfort.
At this moment, Meng Hongzhuang jumped out, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the giant shield skeletons and spear skeletons summoned by Ark, and asked with some curiosity, "Ark, how much stronger are these armed skeletons compared to the ordinary skeletons you summoned before?"
Fangzhou shook his head and said, "I just successfully deduced this skill and this is the first time I've summoned this kind of weapon-wielding skeleton."
To be honest, I'm also very curious about the exact difference in combat power between them and ordinary skeletons.
Meng Hongzhuang rubbed her hands together, her interest piqued, and said, "That's easy."
In the center of the meditation room, there is a specially separated battle arena.
"When we get there, you can summon an equal number of both types of skeletons and let them fight it out. Then we'll see everything clearly."
Fang Zhou's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement, saying, "Great idea!"
"Then I'll give it a try."
To be honest, neither Storm Mage Gu Zhi Qiu's Chain Wind Missiles nor Rock Mage female student's Rock Shield could test the true combat power of the Giant Shield Skeleton and the Long Spear.
He has to rely on himself for everything.
Surrounded by a group of seed students, Fangzhou arrived at a battleground in the Concentration Meditation Room.
Then, he took out his apprentice staff from the spatial storage capsule and began to cast the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
Subsequently, several twisted vortexes formed from the condensation of death energy gradually appeared.
Twenty skulls filed out and lined up in a neat formation in front of the ark.
Their bodies are made of pure white bones, with eerie phosphorescent light flickering in their eye sockets, and the bones rubbing against each other, making a chilling sound.
Upon seeing the familiar army of skeletons, Ark's lips curled into a confident smile.
He refocused his attention, fixing his gaze on 10 of the skulls.
He silently chanted the incantation for [Bone Blade], flicked his fingertips, and strands of silvery-white magic wrapped around the selected skeleton like fine threads.
In an instant, the appearance of these skeletons changed.
The originally dull and lifeless surface of the bones was now covered with a layer of flowing shadow energy.
They had somehow acquired their own weapons.
Three giant shield skeletons, more robust than ordinary skeletons, wielding huge and heavy bone shields.
Three spear-wielding skeletons, their skeletons appearing more flexible, their spears crafted from pristine white bones.
The tip of the gun reflected a cold light in the dim light of the meditation room.
The last four are skeleton archers.
Their construction is more intricate, with bows and arrows made of solidified bone held between their bony fingers.
These arrows emitted a faint blue light even before being fired, and their tips were exceptionally sharp.
These 10 skeletons, enhanced by the [Bone Blade], are not only more imposing in appearance than the other 10 ordinary original skeletons, but also have received a qualitative improvement in combat power.
Under the tense and expectant gazes of the seed students, Fang Zhou gently raised one hand and made a gesture.
The ordinary group seemed to receive a command and quickly assembled.
Although their movements were somewhat clumsy, their neat and orderly formation made them quite impressive.
Click.
Click.
They waved their thin, bony arms, roaring silently as they charged forward, attempting to overwhelm their numbers.
On the other hand, the elite skeleton troops displayed a completely different fighting style.
Three giant shield skeletons, like a mobile fortress.
They wielded enormous bone shields, and though their steps were slow, each one was firm and unwavering.
Three spear-wielding skeletons followed closely behind.
Each swing of their spears created a whistling sound.
Under the tight protection of these six melee fighters, the last four archers stood on either side.
They hold arrows made of bone between their bony fingers, patiently waiting for the best moment to fire.
When the regular skeletons charged at the weapon-wielding skeletons, the first line of defense formed by the giant shield skeletons was unbreakable.
The attacks launched by ordinary skeletons using their claws and fangs were like raindrops hitting rocks, causing nothing but a few white bone flowers to fly up, without shaking them in the slightest.
At this moment, the spear-wielding skeleton found its opportunity.
Using the gaps between their shields, they moved like messengers of death, their spears flashing like lightning.
Each swing was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, precise and elegant.
Ordinary skeletons had their skulls pierced and their soul flames shattered, collapsing before them and turning into piles of scattered white bones.
Meanwhile, the skeleton archers also began their hunting performance.
The emotionless skull eye accurately captures every target.
The arrows seemed to possess their own will, slicing through the air and striking the vital points of the ordinary skull.
Each arrow fired signifies the end of at least one ordinary skeleton.
Throughout the entire battle, Ark remained stationary.
But his consciousness seemed to be integrated into each of the skulls, directing their actions.
The students watching from the sidelines were all shocked by the spectacular yet brutal scene before them.
If 10 of you form a team and face 10 enhanced skeletons summoned by the Ark, would you have a chance of winning?
The battle scenario they envisioned in their minds gave them a jolt, instantly erasing any lingering arrogance they might have had.
At this point, the battle on the field quickly came to an end.
With the last arrow striking, all the ordinary skeletons were completely defeated, leaving only a scene of devastation on the battlefield.
Of the 10 weapon-wielding skeletons, only the three giant shield skeletons were severely injured and their soul flames were on the verge of dying under the relentless attack of their own kind. The other three spear skeletons and four skeleton archers were almost completely unharmed.
Fangzhou slowly withdrew his spiritual power.
The weapon-wielding skeletons that had just won a resounding victory in their own kind vanished.
Fang Zhou turned around, looked at the dumbfounded students, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Today's demonstration marks an even greater widening of the skill gap between him and his peers.
At this moment, Meng Hongzhuang recovered from her shock.
She tugged at her pigtails with a mournful expression, looking utterly dejected, and said, "Fangzhou, have some decency."
You can make even a novice-level trash skeleton look amazing.
How are we supposed to keep up with your pace?
Fang Zhou remained calm and unmoved, saying, "It's just luck."
Skeletons, these skeletal undead creatures, have extremely low racial combat strength.
Despite my best efforts to enhance it, I happened to successfully deduce today the skill that allows apprentice-level skeletons to condense skeletal weapons ahead of schedule.
However, at the same level, their individual combat strength is still very weak.
I estimate that once you break through to the mid-level Apprentice rank, in a one-on-one duel, any one of your animal companions could easily defeat one of the skeletons I summoned.
Such strength is far too weak to be of any real use!
Upon hearing Fang Zhou's Versailles speech, Meng Hongzhuang's eyes widened involuntarily, and her full chest heaved violently. For a moment, she was speechless.
Her animal companions, whether it be Winnie the giant bear, Nidalee the lynx, Quinn the eagle, or the two porcupines, are all wild beasts she has carefully raised and who have great potential.
As a result, Ark actually fantasized that she could defeat her animal companions by simply summoning a skeleton.
That's a bit too far-fetched!
Seeing Meng Hongzhuang momentarily speechless, Fang Zhou coughed lightly and said gently to the group of seed students watching, "I'm sorry to have taken up everyone's precious meditation time."
Next, I will continue my meditation practice.
The seed trainees, understanding the implied meaning, silently made way for the Ark.
They watched as the ark returned to its old spot, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to meditate.
Although the meditation room had temporarily returned to calm, the news that Ark had developed a new necromancer skill that greatly enhanced the combat power of skeletons had already spread far and wide throughout the first-year students of the Sea City Military Academy.
However, apart from a few seed students who had witnessed firsthand the enhanced weapon combat capabilities of the Ark in the meditation room, the other first-year students reacted to the news with unexpected indifference.
After all, Ark had already deduced a very complete apprentice-level skeletal skill tree.
Some busybodies have even secretly given Ark the title of "Skeleton Mentor".
For these first-year students, Ark has already deduced the skeleton skill tree, so what's so surprising about deducing another skill that enhances the combat power of skeletons?
Is there any difference between a prodigy and a genius?
Regardless of what the other military academy students thought, Fang Zhou had already calmed down and focused his attention on the attribute panel of his main body.
After so many days of learning and fighting, his various stats have been greatly enhanced and updated, which has further boosted his confidence in making great strides.
The densely packed skill and equipment slots made Ark feel somewhat satisfied for a moment.
Furthermore, in the foreseeable near future, he will soon possess even more wondrous items and skills.
This is all the result of his tireless efforts day and night!
Even someone as composed as Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a little arrogant at this moment.
However, in an instant, Fangzhou suppressed his excitement and focused his mind on the skeleton clone in the Netherworld.
Although he was indeed the most talented necromancer in history, he had long understood that his true foundation lay in his skeleton clones and attribute panel.
We must never rest on our past laurels or become complacent with past achievements!
The carnival night of killing has officially begun!
