Chapter 196 The Demon Kingdom of Calamity, A Gap in the Power of the Soul (Minor Revision)
Fang Zhou was taken aback, looked at Instructor Lu Hu, and said with some doubt, "Funeral?"
I thought that after Instructor Wang Tao brought General Ning Feihu's remains back to the military academy from the anthill, they had already been buried.
Lu Hu sighed heavily and said, "Fang Zhou, you may not know, but only Major General Ning Danxin remains in General Ning Feihu's bloodline."
All the other descendants of the Ning clan died heroically on the battlefield between humans and demons.
They sacrificed their lives for their country in times of crisis, regarding death as returning home.
The Ning family is so loyal and valiant that each member is a hero, a soul of the Dragon Xia Federation and even the Human Alliance Army.
That is why we must wait until Major General Ning Danxin returns to witness it in person before we can hold a funeral for General Ning Feihu.
Fang Zhou nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Instructor Lu, I just happened to be there and found General Ning Feihu's remains."
The military awarded me a commendation for this, but I felt unworthy of the honor.
There's no need to say anything more.
It was the greatest honor for me, as a cadet at the Haicheng Military Academy and a member of the People's Liberation Army, to have the opportunity to send General Ning off on his final journey.
"good!"
Lu Hu patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder with great appreciation and said, "The fact that you can say these words is enough to prove that you are a loyal and devoted good boy."
Rest assured, our People's Federation will never mistreat any meritorious contributor.
"When Major General Ning Danxin returns to our Haicheng Military Academy, he will definitely thank you in person."
Fangzhou nodded silently, without saying anything more.
What he just revealed was indeed his true inner thought.
Even if we take a step back and say that he doesn't care what benefits he can gain from this, as long as he can see the hero die on the battlefield and return to his homeland.
At this moment, Lu Hu said with some emotion, "It's been a long time since I've been to the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom."
I wonder if these demon bastards can withstand the training of our human army.
When I finally meet Major General Ning Danxin this time, I must ask her about the situation at the front.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou asked with some curiosity, "Instructor Lu Hu, what's the situation on the battlefield in the Calamity Demon Kingdom?"
Lu Hu looked at Fang Zhou and smiled, "In previous history classes, I also told you that most of the abyssal demons that have invaded Blue Star in the past few decades have been killed or driven away."
Currently, on Earth, the most powerful force among the abyssal demons is the Sun-Destroying Demon Kingdom.
That place is controlled by a group of fallen demons and demon worshippers. The Fallen Demons, as the name suggests, are a bunch of scum who are not worthy of being human and wag their tails and beg for mercy at the feet of the demons of the abyss.
In the early stages of the war between humans and demons, this group of demons, in coordination with the large army of abyssal demons, caused us a lot of trouble.
However, with the Abyss Demons forced to withdraw from Earth, and after nearly ten years of our efforts, the sphere of influence of the Calamity Demon Kingdom has been greatly reduced.
The Dawn Legion at the front lines had almost completely encircled them.
Fang Zhou nodded, then asked thoughtfully, "Instructor Lu, after we graduate from Haicheng Military Academy, will we be heading to the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom?"
Lu Hu shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true."
Although we have gained the upper hand on the main battlefield against the Japanese invaders, they still have a large number of troops plotting a counterattack.
Therefore, on Earth, the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom is considered the most intense and dangerous battlefield.
Generally speaking, graduates of major military academies will hone their skills in other smaller human-demon battlefields for several years before being sent to the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom.
At this point, Lu Hu glanced at Fang Zhou and continued, "However, there are exceptions to every rule."
For a genius like you, Fang Zhou, whose combat power far surpasses that of ordinary students, you might be directly sent to the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom after graduation.
You must be careful and cautious then, and never be arrogant or careless.
The dangers of the human-demon battlefield are far beyond what you greenhorns who grew up in military academies in the rear can imagine.
When Major General Ning Danxin returns to Haicheng Military Academy, you can take this opportunity to learn from her and pave the way for your future career in the military.
Fangzhou nodded, silently reciting the mantra of "steady" in his mind.
His consistent approach is to seek progress while maintaining stability and to accumulate strength for future breakthroughs.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't become arrogant and conceited like those precocious geniuses who achieved early success.
The Abyss Demons, a war-like race whose overall strength far surpasses that of humans on Earth, are absolutely not to be underestimated.
With the help of the attribute panel and the skeleton clone, I wonder if I will have the chance to grow into an unparalleled powerhouse who can suppress the demons of the abyss with one hand?
While Fangzhou was deep in thought, Instructor Lu Hu had already started strolling around the training ground, occasionally pointing out the rather rudimentary combat methods of some of the combat squads.
Fangzhou's gaze gradually drifted away, and he thought of the resources he currently possessed.
The contribution points are still sufficient for now.
Although a large portion of the resources will soon be consumed, the upcoming huge one-time discovery reward from the refined stone vein, along with the continuous mining revenue, will be enough to cover the current expenses.
Not to mention the unique talents of the Ark, which can also lead to the deduction of some brand-new necromancer skills that can be exchanged for contribution points rewards.
Before long, the unknown talent skill of the Skull Clone, which was extracted from the zombie, will be completely analyzed.
At that time, it can be used as a blueprint and material to deduce more practical new skills.
Another advantage for Fangzhou, though perhaps not significant, is that after becoming a seed cadet, the military academy will issue missions from time to time.
Completing these tasks will also earn you a certain amount of contribution points.
It is precisely because of these channels that Ark has the confidence to spend money like water, raking in thousands of dollars a night.
However, on the other hand, the more important factor restricting the Ark now is not contribution points, but soul power.
Learning skills quickly requires the power of the soul.
Strengthening equipment requires soul power.
Deductive reasoning skills require even more spiritual power.
Even though the clone now has nearly 40 servants forming a leveling team, the speed at which it absorbs soul power is still far from meeting the Ark's insatiable needs.
Fangzhou pondered for a moment, then slowly sighed.
After all, his true form was just a lowly apprentice, and his clone was merely a Black Iron-level warrior.
The only solutions I can think of right now are to increase revenue and reduce costs.
Cost-cutting goes without saying.
In order to become stronger quickly, he would absolutely not cut back on his energy.
As for open source, the first method is to extend the monster-killing and leveling time of the skeleton clones as much as possible.
The duration of the skeleton clone's monster-killing practice directly depends on the resilience of its soul and the efficiency of its soul recovery.
A month ago, he had already used the necromancer research group's channels to focus on meditation duration, soul-soothing potions,
The external conditions, such as the fragrance of moon orchids and the flower of sighs, are all perfect.
There are no other avenues for growth in the short term.
The second method is to speed up the monster-killing practice efficiency of the skeleton clone.
The skeleton now has nearly 40 servants scattered in all directions to hunt for him, which is the limit for now.
Only when the skeleton clones learn more skills and elevate their combat power to a new level will the Ark be ready to explore deeper.
Hopefully, the distribution of undead creatures like skeleton warriors and zombies will be denser in the depths of the Corpse Hills.
The third method, however, remains merely a conjecture within the realm of the Ark.
That is to promote the [Skeleton King Meditation Method] among all necromancer professionals.
Make all necromancers apostles of the Skeleton King, or skeleton clones, thereby extracting more soul power from their meditation.
Currently, the only Ark's apostles are Sandru and Su Xinyan.
Although both of them are high-ranking Gold-tier necromancers, and their quality is indeed very high, their quantity is insufficient.
If he could make the nearly 200 necromancers of humanity his disciples, then over time, it would amount to a considerable amount of soul power.
After noting the idea in his memo, Fangzhou stood up and looked towards the training ground.
!
As the last piercing scream slowly faded away, this brutal yet invaluable practical exercise for the seed trainees finally came to an end.
Immediately, a deep and powerful command reverberated throughout the underground training ground.
"Attention all trainees, this practical training session has officially ended!"
Upon hearing the order, the trainees either panted heavily to catch their breath or wiped the sweat rolling down their foreheads with the back of their hands.
His face beamed not only with exhaustion, but also with barely concealed excitement and pride.
"Pack your gear, we're ready to leave."
Following the instructions of the Land Rover instructor, the trainees quickly organized their equipment and lined up in neat rows.
Fang Zhou also joined the queue, standing with Meng Hongzhuang and Bai Xiaochuan.
The group of seed trainees followed closely in the footsteps of Instructor Lu Hu, traversing the winding, pea-shaped tunnels, and leaving the underground training ground behind.
The moment it saw the light of day again, sunlight streamed down through the high glass dome of the Hall of Glory.
Instructor Lu Hu casually gave a few more instructions, telling all the seed students not to slack off in their training during their spare time, and then signaled for everyone to disperse.
Staring blankly.
At Lu Hu's command, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang appeared from the crowd on the left and right, surrounding Fang Zhou.
Meng Hongzhuang was fine. Having gone through the underground hunting, dealing with the two rounds of Abyss Lesser Demons this afternoon was just a small test, and she found it incredibly easy.
But Bai Xiaochun was different.
Having only been beaten up a few times by the Abyss Lesser Demon Illusions in the simulated battlefield, she now personally participated in the intense and fierce battle alongside her two teammates.
Although it was a stalemate between Lu Hu and Fang Zhou, it was an incredibly exciting experience for Bai Xiaochun, a flower raised in a greenhouse.
Listening to Bai Xiaochun chattering incessantly in his ear, Fang Zhou earnestly nodded and hummed in response, while dragging his two little assistants along with the group as they walked out of the school history museum.
When they reached the entrance of the school history museum, Meng Hongzhuang finally lost her temper and interrupted Bai Xiaochun's outpouring of emotions.
"Enough! You're not convinced that you're just a pretty face?"
Two rounds and six lesser demons are nothing; I can easily handle them all by myself.
Why are you getting so worked up and acting so pathetic?
