Chapter 55 High-Rank Undead Vampire
Fang Zhou could also imagine that, in places he couldn't see, Instructor Lu Hu must have made many efforts for him.
For example, Instructor Su Xinyan told him that the reason she returned to Haicheng Military Academy from the Mythical Battlefield so quickly was because Instructor Lu Hu begged and pleaded with Principal Su.
And this necromancer research project definitely owes a lot to Instructor Lu working behind the scenes.
Fangzhou is a grateful person.
Looking at Lu Hu's imposing figure, he couldn't help but wonder what he could do to repay Instructor Lu.
At this moment, Lu Hu finally calmed down.
He smiled and said to Fangzhou, "Fangzhou, your performance during this period has been truly outstanding."
Although Principal Su didn't say it explicitly, I could sense that your No. 1 seed was practically a done deal.
This point is something that both the instructors and all the first-year students agree with and acknowledge.
Fang Zhou nodded slightly, about to express his gratitude to Lu Hu, when he heard him say, "However, being the number one seed is both a great honor and a heavy responsibility."
This is a military academy, not a regular university. You are soldiers, not students, and you will face all sorts of real combat missions in the future.
As the number one seed, you enjoy preferential treatment from the military academy's resources, so the responsibilities you bear are naturally more arduous.
Although you have great potential, you must not be careless until that potential is fully realized.
Fangzhou naturally took Lu Hu's earnest teachings to heart.
He asked earnestly, "Instructor Lu, what are the main forms of the live-fire missions you mentioned?"
Lu Hu replied, "There are many forms of this, such as killing ferocious beasts, capturing cultists, and cleaning up spatial fragments."
The military academy will assign you tasks that match your abilities and will try its best to ensure your safety.
However, since it is a real battlefield, every year some trainees are injured or even killed for various reasons.
In addition, once the final list is finalized, you seeded players will soon have a round of intensive practical training.
The goal is to select the 10 strongest individuals to form a team and represent our Haicheng Military Academy in the National Military Academy New Recruit Competition.
Fang Zhou wasn't afraid of any real combat training. Every day, his skeletal clones were experiencing real combat in the Netherworld, and his combat experience was far superior to that of other freshmen.
However, the information inadvertently revealed in Lu Hu's words piqued his curiosity.
He turned and asked, "The recruit competition? Is it a competition between the ten major military academies of our Dragon Summer Federation?"
Lu Hu nodded: "Yes, this has been a tradition of our ten military academies over the years."
Besides the competition to prove themselves and determine who is better through the new recruit competition, the rankings in the competition also affect the allocation of federal resources in the following year.
The higher the ranking, the more resources you can receive.
Fangzhou nodded slightly.
No wonder Haicheng Military Academy attaches so much importance to the selection of top students; the strength of these top students directly determines the amount of financial allocation they will receive.
He then asked, "How did our Haicheng Military Academy rank last year?"
Lu Hu shook his head slightly: "Our military academy has always been at a mid-level nationally, ranking around 5th or 6th."
Only a few years ago, a female cadet named Wen Jiu awakened the [Flame Dragon Knight] class, which allowed her to stand out and achieve 3rd place, which is also the best result in the history of our Haicheng Military Academy.
Upon hearing Wen Jiu's familiar name again, Fang Zhou asked in surprise, "The Flame Dragon Knight is a powerful class that can contract a fire dragon, yet it still couldn't get first place?"
Lu Hu said solemnly, "We have Wenjiu, the [Flame Dragon Knight], and other military academies also have geniuses who have awakened powerful professions such as [Punishment Holy Sword], [Cloud Climbing Ascetic], and [Arcane Master].
In addition, the freshman competition will not only test individual combat skills, but also the overall strength of the team.
Under Wenjiu's guidance, we achieved a very good result of getting third place.
Ark, you must not underestimate the heroes of the world.
Fang Zhou nodded, a rare feeling of excitement rising in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Hu asked with a somewhat sly look, "By the way, Fang Zhou, how did that girl Xin Yan brag to you last time?"
When it came to Instructor Su's dark history, Fang Zhou cautiously said, "Instructor Su asked me if her hair looked good, and then said that her hair turned silver after she awakened as a necromancer."
She also said that my ability to break through to the intermediate apprentice level in a month showed that my talent was stronger than hers, which took her a month and a few days to achieve the same result.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Hu couldn't stop laughing as soon as he heard that.
After a long while, he laughed so hard he could barely breathe, and said, "To a certain extent, she wasn't lying."
Her silver hair was indeed like that after she awakened.
However, this is not a symbol of any necromancer talent.
It was because when she was 18, she had just awakened and secretly dyed all her hair silver without Principal Su's knowledge, claiming that silver was more in line with the mysterious temperament of the future legendary necromancer.
Lu Hu wiped away his tears and said, "The claim that he broke through to the intermediate apprentice level in a month and a few days is not entirely wrong either."
However, this "few days" may actually refer to sixty or seventy days.
After hearing Lu Hu's explanation, Fang Zhou couldn't help but chuckle, even though he had expected it.
Instructor Su Xinyan's ideas were indeed quirky and unconventional, truly deserving of the description of acting unconventionally.
Compared to her tranquil temperament, which is like a fleeting night-blooming cereus, there is an inexplicable charm to it.
After all, he was a Gold-tier expert, and Fang Zhou was afraid that if he knew too much about Instructor Su's dark history, he wouldn't be able to treat her with a normal attitude in the future, so he wanted to take the initiative to change the subject.
But Lu Hu has finally found someone to share his happiness with.
He then winked at Fang Zhou and said, "Principal Su has always wanted to dye Xin Yan's silver hair back. The father and daughter have argued countless times about hair."
People say that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket.
But I think even if Xinyan is a sweet and gentle girl, she's still a cunning and heartless person.
For this reason, Principal Su has always had a strong opinion about the profession of necromancer.
Fangzhou, you'd better watch out for us in the research group from now on.
"Don't judge a book by its cover, Xin Yan..."
Before Lu Hu could finish speaking, a blurry black shadow suddenly appeared in the pitch-black night sky, letting out a piercing scream as it hurtled straight down towards him.
Lu Hu became alert and quickly pulled Fang Zhou back several meters.
The dark figure didn't continue its pursuit, hovering in front of Lu Hu, baring its teeth at him.
Upon seeing this, Lu Hu's expression turned bitter, and he said with a worried look, "Oh no, oh no!"
This is the vampire summoned by Xinyan!
I just said bad things about her, she must have heard me.
Fangzhou also came to his senses and carefully examined the bat-like undead creature before him.
The vampire's wings make up about 80% of its body, and the edges of the wings gleam with a sharp, cold light, giving them a certain degree of aggression.
Its head is only about the size of an adult's fist, with pale white soul flames in its eye sockets and four sharp teeth in its mouth, which can be used to suck the target's blood and steal the target's life force.
