Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 394 - 299: Ning Clan’s Legacy, Potential Soars!

He now understood. Major General Ning and Instructor Lu Hu’s reminders weren’t baseless; they were genuinely looking out for his future.

Seeing Fang Zhou’s serious expression, Ning Danxin comforted him, "Fang Zhou, you don’t need to feel too pressured. I believe that with your talent and strength, this Black Gem Dragon Egg is just the icing on the cake for you. Perhaps the greatest fortune of its life will be having you as its master."

Ning Danxin’s words warmed Fang Zhou’s heart. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your trust, Major General Ning. I will definitely take good care of this dragon egg and make it my reliable assistant."

Ning Danxin continued, "By the way, I heard from Instructor Lu Hu that you received a Berserker Heroic Spirit Mark from your grandfather’s heroic spirit. Can you let me feel its effects?"

When mentioning the Heroic Spirit Mark, Ning Danxin’s tone carried a hint of curiosity and reverence. Heroic Spirit Marks were extremely rare soul marvels; even a powerhouse at the Glory Champion Level like Ning Danxin had seldom seen one. Moreover, the Berserker Heroic Spirit Mark that Fang Zhou possessed originated from her grandfather, General Ning Feihu. For Ning Danxin, its significance was even more extraordinary.

Fang Zhou nodded, his gaze sweeping across the spacious yet simple conference room. He then stood in the center of the room and, with a crisp snap of his fingers, summoned a skeleton as subtle ripples of energy spread through the air. Next, he activated the Berserker Heroic Spirit Mark deep within his soul, using the ordinary skeleton as a vessel to summon the Berserker Heroic Spirit, Olaf.

Ning Danxin’s eyes brightened as she looked at the skeleton, which wielded two axes and radiated a fierce aura. She stared intently at Olaf, clearly sensing the familiar power of the berserker bloodline emanating from him. After circling Olaf twice, Ning Danxin asked with great interest, "Fang Zhou, how strong is this Berserker Heroic Spirit?"

Fang Zhou replied, "Major General Ning, I call this Berserker Heroic Spirit Olaf. His power is incredible. He’s not only inherited part of the Berserker profession’s skill tree but also possesses inherited combat experience and battlefield command techniques. Olaf is capable of serving as either the vanguard charging at the head of my Skeleton Army or as the commanding general."

"Of course," Fang Zhou’s tone shifted, "since I am still in the Apprentice Stage, Olaf’s power is somewhat limited. He can only be summoned using a skeleton as a vessel, which restricts his combat power due to the Skeleton Race’s low combat power coefficient. Moreover, as an Apprentice-Tier Berserker Heroic Spirit, he can currently only use abilities from the Golden Body Series skill tree. However, as my own strength increases, Olaf will provide me with extremely powerful support until I achieve the Golden Great Mage Tier."

After listening to Fang Zhou’s introduction, a fiery glint flashed in Ning Danxin’s eyes. She clenched her fists, nodded with some excitement, and said, "Fang Zhou, let Olaf spar with me. Feeling that pure berserker aura, my desire to fight has inexplicably boiled over."

Ning Danxin’s request was reasonable, so of course, Fang Zhou would not refuse.

At that moment, Su Xinyan, who was standing behind him, suggested, "Major General Ning, Olaf isn’t in his peak state right now. Fang Zhou himself deduced a new skill called ’Crowned with Death,’ which can gather the power of his other undead summons onto Olaf, greatly enhancing his combat abilities. If you’re interested, you can experience that as well."

Upon hearing this, Ning Danxin couldn’t help but clench her fists again and laugh. "Oh, Fang Zhou has a skill like that? Then what are we waiting for? Fang Zhou, cast with your full power! I want to feel just how capable Olaf truly is, and see if he fails to live up to my grandfather’s heroic spirit!"

Since Major General Ning had given the order, Fang Zhou certainly wouldn’t hold back.

He first summoned one hundred Upper Apprentice skeletons. Then, he drank a Spiritual Recovery Potion, activated the Transcendent affix on his Seed Medal No. 1, and cast the "Calm and Relaxed" skill to restore his Spiritual Power to its maximum. After that, he summoned another fifty skeletons.

Immediately following, Fang Zhou cast the "Skeleton Blade" skill, fully arming and enhancing all 150 skeletons. Subsequently, he activated "Brutal Aura" and "Iron Wall Aura," maximizing the combat power of his Skeleton Army.

Finally, he activated the "Crowned with Death" skill. This linked Olaf and his Skeleton Army into a single energy field, granting Olaf the most powerful enhancement possible. With all these spells cast, Olaf, under the effects of "Crowned with Death," felt his combat power soar to its absolute peak.

Instructor Ning Danxin watched Fang Zhou’s casting from the side, a look of shock involuntarily appearing on her face. As a practical fighter who had clawed her way up through battles of blood and fire, she had seen countless geniuses and powerhouses. However, none had ever left such a profound impression on her at the Apprentice Stage as Fang Zhou did.

With just a shake of his crystal ball, he could summon hundreds of Upper Apprentice skeletons. Then there was the seemingly endless array of beneficial aura skills. And on top of that was the "Crowned with Death" skill, which consolidated the power of many into one. Every spell Fang Zhou cast surpassed her wildest imagination.

Ning Danxin carefully observed Olaf’s transformation. His already imposing frame grew even more massive, his entire body shimmering with an eerie blue light. Every inch of bone seemed to brim with explosive strength.

She couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "It’s like a small army has been concentrated into a single individual. Truly astonishing."

As the aura around Olaf surged, growing even more tempestuous than before, the entire conference room seemed to be shrouded in an intangible pressure. This aura contained the coldness of death and a violent will to battle, naturally inspiring a sense of awe.

Ning Danxin stood opposite Olaf, her expression more solemn than ever before. Her eyes were locked onto the Berserker Heroic Spirit, who had been enhanced multiple times by Fang Zhou, and her heart filled with both anticipation and a yearning for a challenge.

Originally, constrained by the Skeleton Race’s low combat power coefficient, Olaf’s aura, though powerful, had felt brittle to Ning Danxin. But after Fang Zhou’s multiple enhancements, Olaf’s strength had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

His Skeleton Double Axes glimmered with a cold light, as if they could cleave through any obstacle in the world. The chilling aura of Crowned with Death swirled around him like a tangible force, evoking the feeling of a summons from the Undead Realm. The Brutal Aura filled the air with a heart-pounding violence and fear, as though it could tear apart even the strongest of wills. And the Iron Wall Aura draped him in a layer of indestructible armor. He could stand firm even in the face of the fiercest attacks, like an immortal War God on the battlefield.

Ning Danxin slowed her breathing. She didn’t draw her weapon, instead standing bare-handed before Olaf. To fight an Upper Apprentice-level Olaf, Ning Danxin naturally suppressed her own power to the Upper Apprentice Tier to match him. Although she still had the benefit of numerous passive skills, vast combat experience, and Berserker Profession specializations, Ning Danxin did her utmost to make the fight fair.

The battle began!

Relying on her abundant combat experience and sharp intuition, Ning Danxin quickly identified Olaf’s weaknesses. Her figure was nimble, weaving around Olaf like a phantom as each evasion perfectly sidestepped his ferocious attacks. Olaf, in turn, drew upon the combat experience inherited from Ning Feihu, continuously launching sharp offensives in an attempt to force Ning Danxin into a desperate situation.

The two went back and forth for nearly ten minutes. Olaf even managed to hold his own for a time, showcasing his incredible combat ability.

However, Ning Danxin didn’t give him many chances. As soon as she deciphered his combat style, Olaf was put at a disadvantage.
