Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 540 - 384: Clone Evolution Paths, the Trade Fair Arrives!

Chapter 540: Chapter 384: Clone Evolution Paths, the Trade Fair Arrives!

Damn it, even in my combined state, I’m actually running out of energy...

Gu Yueyuan gritted his teeth, straining to hold on with both arms.

But his energy couldn’t recover fast enough to keep up with the consumption. He was gradually running out of options.

Gu Yueyuan’s energy had been recovering quickly after he’d completely drained the Cyan Dragon Centipede’s potential at once. However, this Lifebound Gu of his was only at the Black Iron Lower Rank. No matter how desperate he was, there was no more potential left to squeeze out.

If this had been a Black Iron Middle Rank Cyan Dragon Centipede, the course of the battle would have been completely different.

However, in a life-and-death battle, there are no ’what ifs’.

Regardless of victory or defeat, the result must be accepted.

Ultimately, the Skeleton Shock Wave grew even larger, and Gu Yueyuan, who was desperately holding on, paid a heavy price.

His hands, originally as large as a carriage, were formed entirely from entwined vines and insect shells. But now, only three fingers remained on his left hand and four on his right. The palms of both hands were mostly corroded away by Fang Zhou’s undead mana.

Of course, Gu Yueyuan’s current physical form was entirely manifested from the Cyan Dragon Centipede’s energy. Aside from the intense energy consumption, he himself had not suffered any substantial damage.

However, once the Cyan Dragon Centipede’s energy was completely exhausted, a weakened, energy-depleted Magic Professional caught in Fang Zhou’s Skeleton Shock Wave would naturally face only one outcome: defeat.

As the Skeleton Shock Wave continued to expand, Gu Yueyuan’s face grew increasingly pale.

He knew that if this continued, the only possible outcome was failure.

Fang Zhou maintained his composure, continuously injecting mana to ensure the power of the Skeleton Shock Wave did not diminish.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhou still had strength to spare.

While sustaining the energy input for the Skeleton Shock Wave, he also began to cast the Skeleton Cage skill.

Several Skeleton Shackles formed a bone cage, trying to trap Gu Yueyuan within.

"Damn it!"

At that moment, Gu Yueyuan’s heart filled with helplessness.

With the Cyan Dragon Centipede’s energy completely drained, his insectoid shell had gone numb and become a complete burden.

CRACK. The Bone Cage snapped shut, and under the Skill Effect, Gu Yueyuan completely lost his ability to resist.

"We won!!"

Watching this scene from afar, Silvanas shouted with glee.

In the past two months of spending time together, she had already become Fang Zhou’s biggest fan, just like Bai Xiaochan once was.

Gu Yueyuan’s Insect Nest Walker Profession was widely acknowledged as an extremely powerful Profession on the Human-Demon Battlefield!

Silvanas couldn’t help but be ecstatic. She had just watched Fang Zhou use the terrifying combat power he had recently developed for his Undead Mage Profession to defeat Gu Yueyuan in a head-on clash. After a grueling battle, he had triumphed over an opponent who had thrown caution to the wind in a desperate, last-ditch effort!

In this battle, Fang Zhou had displayed various Undead Mage Skills from the Summoning, Skeleton, Soul, and Enhancement Series.

Each Skill had fully demonstrated its effectiveness in combat.

As a research assistant who had personally participated in the Skill Deduction for these Undead Mage Skills, how could Silvanas not be overjoyed and so proud that she lost her composure?

The moment Gu Yueyuan was trapped in the Skeleton Cage, the entire arena fell into a hushed silence, which was then broken by thunderous applause.

Fang Zhou steadily withdrew his mana, and the Skeleton Shock Wave dissipated, leaving only a quiet Bone Cage that held Gu Yueyuan securely within.

"This battle goes to Fang Zhou!" The referee instructor’s voice echoed across the arena, announcing the final result.

The students outside the arena applauded, cheering for the spectacular duel.

Liu Diewu and Silvanas exchanged a smile, having gained a deeper understanding of both Fang Zhou’s and Gu Yueyuan’s strength.

"Fang Zhou, you’re truly incredible," Liu Diewu said, stepping forward to congratulate him.

Gu Yueyuan also managed to struggle to his feet. His Lifebound Gu was dead, leaving him in an extremely poor state. He merely gave Fang Zhou a silent nod.

On the arena platform, Fang Zhou waved his hand, retracting the Skeleton Cage that bound Gu Yueyuan.

After exchanging military salutes, they both returned to their respective rest rooms to recover.

「About ten minutes later.」

As Fang Zhou was in his rest room regulating his breathing to recover, Instructor Lu Hu walked in, a broad smile on his face that he couldn’t conceal.

He shared the good news: Fang Zhou had officially become the Sea City Military Academy’s second-year No. 1 Seed Student.

Conveniently, this meant the No. 1 Seed Medal that Fang Zhou already possessed didn’t need to be replaced.

Due to Fang Zhou’s placement, the former No. 1 Seed Student, Gu Yueyuan, and No. 2 Seed Student, Liu Diewu, would each be moved down one rank.

Of course, if any second-year Seed Students were dissatisfied with Fang Zhou’s ranking, they could submit a challenge application to the academy.

However, based on Instructor Lu Hu’s experienced judgment, after witnessing the fair duel between Fang Zhou and Gu Yueyuan, it was unlikely anyone would still harbor thoughts of challenging Fang Zhou.

Not long after Instructor Lu Hu left, there was another knock on the door of Fang Zhou’s rest room.

Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, Silvanas, and other familiar faces all entered. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Gu Yueyuan’s complexion, after receiving meticulous care from the academy’s medical team, had recovered from its initial pallor to a healthy, ruddy color.

Fang Zhou stepped forward, patted Gu Yueyuan on the shoulder, and smiled. "Senior Brother Gu, you really went all out."

"This was just a friendly spar. Was it really necessary to sacrifice a Lifebound Gu Insect as rare and precious as your Natural Attribute Cyan Dragon Centipede?"

Gu Yueyuan shook his head, uttering just a few words. "I got what I came for."
