Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 468 - 342: Bloody Path of Battle, Absorbing Nether Amber

Chapter 468: Chapter 342: Bloody Path of Battle, Absorbing Nether Amber

Just like before, the moment it entered his stomach, the blue energy exploded. It merged with the Undead energy throughout his body, causing its power to surge.

However, this time the effect was much weaker.

Even so, it still made the Undead energy emanating from Fang Zhou even more frigid and chilling.

Blue energy flames leaped between the gaps of his full-body armor, making him appear both majestic and sinister.

With a cracking sound, Fang Zhou’s body continued to grow larger and stronger under the stimulus of this energy.

His terrifying appearance was one of intertwined bones and flesh, and his height now exceeded 2.6 meters.

Satisfied, Fang Zhou clenched his Bone Fists, feeling the surging power within him. He then looked at the attribute panel before him.

His Four-dimensional Attributes had increased by nearly 3 points compared to before. Although the increase wasn’t as large as last time, it was still quite good.

Fang Zhou pressed on, casting his fiery eyes toward the final blue pearl.

He picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp.

The familiar sensation of surging energy once again filled his entire body.

This time, Fang Zhou’s body swelled to 2.7 meters, and his Four-dimensional Attributes each increased by two points on average.

In total, these three blue pearls directly increased the Skeleton Clone’s Four-dimensional Attributes by an average of 10 points each.

This undoubtedly greatly accelerated the evolution speed of the Skeleton Clone.

Now, the average of its Four-dimensional Attributes already exceeded 60.

The Power Attribute even reached a high of 65, not far from breaking through the next bottleneck to the Upper Black Iron Tier.

At this thought, Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Clone and his Undead Mage main body in the Concentration Meditation Room both revealed a mysterious smile.

Tonight’s gains were not limited to this.

Fang Zhou immersed his mind in his main body, observing its attribute panel.

The Skeleton Clone’s surge in Four-dimensional Attributes had naturally fed back to his main body as well.

Now, his main body’s Spirit Attribute had exceeded 9 points, very close to the Apprentice Perfect Realm of 10 points.

At this rate, even if Fang Zhou had no further gains, his main body could attempt to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Black Iron Tier in less than a month, just by relying on the Clone’s daily hunting for upgrades and the subsequent attribute feedback.

The Black Iron Tier meant condensing an Invisible Energy Core, fixing Talent Magic, learning Profession-specific expertise, and updating Profession Skills.

At that time, Fang Zhou’s combat power would take a huge leap compared to its current level.

Advancing to the Black Iron Tier in less than half a year was an unprecedented record in the history of Sea City Military Academy, and Fang Zhou inwardly looked forward to achieving it.

「」

In the following days, Fang Zhou carried out his ascetic-style cultivation in an orderly manner.

During this time, he finally trained his Soul Vision Skills to instinctual proficiency.

He was now improving the proficiency of the skills in his Skeleton Series Skill Tree one by one.

The most critical Skeleton Flying Spear skill was almost at instinctual proficiency.

Peaceful days always pass quickly.

Until one day, the logistics department sent an email to his personal terminal:

"Senior Sergeant Fang Zhou, your rewards for participating in the new recruit competitive trial—Nether Amber and the Magic Conductor professional expertise learning chip—have been delivered to the Sea City Military Academy logistics department. Please collect them as soon as possible."

In the underground training ground of the Hall of Glory, Fang Zhou glanced at the message on his personal terminal, his eyebrows involuntarily twitching.

Beside him, Bai Xiaochan was constantly watching his every move. Seeing his familiar expression, she knew something good was about to happen.

She puffed up her cheeks and blew lightly at her fluttering bangs, asking curiously, "Fang Zhou, what’s the good news?"

Fang Zhou turned around, smiled at his most trusted companion, and said casually, "Nothing much, my rewards from the new recruit competitive trial have arrived. After the course ends, I need to go to the logistics department to collect my Nether Amber and my professional expertise learning chip."

Beside him, Bai Xiaochan blinked with some envy and said with a hint of self-pity, "Congratulations, Fang Zhou. The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures I’m looking for are still nowhere in sight. I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to trade for them before I break through the bottleneck and advance to the Black Iron Tier."

Seeing that the day’s combat training was about to end, Fang Zhou offered Bai Xiaochan a few words of comfort. He then went up to greet Instructor Lu Hu before turning to leave the underground training ground.

「Sea City Military Academy Logistics Department, Warehouse #2103.」

The familiar One-eyed Instructor had already prepared the Nether Amber and the chip after receiving Fang Zhou’s application.

Fang Zhou completed the handover procedures, which involved a series of routine checks and signatures. Afterward, the One-eyed Instructor handed him a resource package filled with necessary supplies.

Just as Fang Zhou was about to turn and leave, the One-eyed Instructor’s voice suddenly came from behind.

"Wait, Fang Zhou!"

Fang Zhou stopped and turned to look at the instructor, noticing a hint of doubt and astonishment in the man’s eyes.

"Am I mistaken," the One-eyed Instructor said, "I remember it wasn’t that long ago that you came to collect supplies. But why do I feel that your Spiritual Power fluctuations are so much stronger than last time? This force is almost overflowing, like a precursor to its transformation into Mana. Could it be that you are already close to the bottleneck of the Black Iron Tier?"

Faced with the instructor’s inquiry, Fang Zhou felt a slight stir in his heart.

He knew it was impossible to hide the change in his strength from an experienced Silver Tier Professional like the One-eyed Instructor.

So, he nodded frankly and replied, "Yes, Instructor. Recently, I’ve found Meditation to be very effective. I even entered a state of enlightenment on occasion, so my Spiritual Power limit has increased significantly."
