Chapter 191 The Ritual of the Nemesis, Perfect Level [Soul Nemesis]
Lu Hu nodded slightly in acknowledgment. After waiting a while, once all 100 seed students were in place, he turned to face them and said in a deep voice, "In the days to come, these 100 of you will form a seed company, with me serving as the chief instructor."
I will send the specific training plan to your personal terminals later. This afternoon, I will give you your first lesson - the history of Haicheng Military Academy!
Follow me!
Lu Hu waved his hand and led the silently standing seed students into the exhibition hall of the school history museum.
As the queue moved deeper into the exhibition area, the previously somewhat disorganized space was carefully divided into multiple exhibition zones.
Each exhibition area revolves around a specific historical period or theme.
The "Historical Relics" exhibition area displays the evolution from so-called high-tech weapons to the equipment of current cold weapon professionals.
These include ancient swords and shields used by the pioneers, tokens from the First Abyss War, and advanced combat simulators developed in recent years.
The visit lasted about an hour. As Land Rover solemnly explained the situation, the atmosphere in the group of seed trainees changed from relaxed to extremely solemn.
Finally, Instructor Lu Hu led his not-so-large team to the deepest part of the school history museum—the Hall of Glory.
The "Hall of Fame" is the highlight of the entire school history museum.
Here hang the medals, awards, and banners that the Haicheng Military Academy received throughout its history.
On the central circular display stand, a huge sculpture bearing the inscription "To Die with the Demon" stands proudly.
It is surrounded by victory monuments from the years of battles against the demons of the abyss.
Among them, the highest-ranking officer was General Ning Feihu, who sacrificed his life in the Battle of Haicheng.
Although Ning Feihu was only a Gold-ranked Berserker when he sacrificed himself, his brilliant achievements in the early stages of the Human-Demon War made him the undisputed number one hero in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Haicheng.
Needless to say, the Battle of Haicheng was a pivotal battle for the Dragon Summer Federation and even the entire Human Alliance.
From a historical perspective, the success of this defense dealt a heavy blow to the main force of the Abyss Demons invading Earth, causing the decades-long bloody war between humans and demons to shift from strategic contraction to strategic stalemate.
Subsequently, under the protection and guidance of their forefathers, generations of human heroes fought bravely and relentlessly, gradually sounding the horn of counterattack and ultimately driving the vast majority of the abyssal demons out of Earth.
Fangzhou's gaze lingered on General Ning Feihu's name and deeds for a long time before turning to the other martyrs below him.
Over the decades, countless soldiers have emerged from Haicheng.
Among them, there were even legendary kings and crown-level super-strong individuals who fell on the battlefield, leaving behind their blood-stained names in this Hall of Glory.
The heroes who sacrificed their lives here, including champions, gold, and silver medalists, played their final swan song.
Lu Hu paused for a moment in the Hall of Glory, then turned to the group of seed students and said, "Today's tour ends here."
The Hall of Glory was solemn and dignified.
The group of seed students stood solemnly beside the hero's emblem that read "To Die with the Demon".
The abyssal cloud looming over human civilization has yet to dissipate.
For these new generation of awakened individuals in the Ark, the sky of their lives was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
At this moment, Lu Hu spoke up: "Today you will receive a most sacred inheritance."
A huge crystal monument slowly rose in the center of the Hall of Glory.
"Next, I will perform the [Nemesis Ritual] for you."
This is the latest method developed by the Human Alliance Military Department, which can greatly enhance the special combat power of our human professionals against the lowly race of Abyss Demons. Of course, each time the Nemesis Ritual is activated, it consumes a massive amount of resources.
A professional can only undergo the "Rival Ritual" once in their lifetime.
Please do not miss this invaluable opportunity!
Guided by Instructor Lu Hu, Fang Zhou and the other seed trainees focused their attention on the slowly rising crystal monument.
"Close your eyes and take a deep breath."
Instructor Lu Hu's voice guided the trainees into meditation at just the right time.
In the stillness, the trainees seemed to travel through time and space, witnessing firsthand the magnificent battle scenes, feeling the fear and perseverance of the pioneers in the face of the demons, and the glory of their final victory.
Just as this emotion reached its peak, an indescribable power surged from the crystal tablet, like a blazing wave, into the bodies of every student.
Fangzhou, standing at the very front of the seed trainees, felt this most acutely.
He felt a profound, unprecedented power awakening within him.
It seemed to be an innate, destiny-bound power to fight against the demons of the abyss.
At the same time, a notification immediately appeared in the attribute panel.
"Having been baptized by an unknown power, I have gained a new skill: [Soul Nemesis - Abyss Demon]".
Fang Zhou's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.
In the nearly three months since his awakening, acquiring each skill has required immense effort.
However, in the Hall of Glory in the school history museum, he did not put in any effort. He simply gained a brand new mysterious skill out of thin air by having Instructor Lu Hu trigger a mysterious rival ritual.
Fangzhou composed himself, letting the mysterious power from the rival's ritual flow through his body, while looking at the skill bar on his attribute panel.
【Soul Nemesis】(Apprentice Level, Beginner): The latest research achievement of the guardian deity of human civilization, guiding countless heroic spirits throughout the long river of time, awakening the boundless hatred hidden within the souls of human professionals for the demons of the abyss.
This increases the combat effectiveness of human professionals against Abyssal Demons to a certain extent. However, the user's affinity with Abyssal Demons decreases significantly, while the damage dealt to Apprentice-level Abyssal Demons increases slightly, and the damage received from Apprentice-level Abyssal Demons decreases slightly. The extent of the damage increase and reduction depends on skill proficiency, the number and quality of Abyssal Demons killed, and their relative strength.
As Fangzhou carefully read the skill description, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
The skill description for 【Soul Nemesis】, though only a few lines long, contains many thought-provoking details.
What kind of title is "Guardian of Human Civilization"?
What kind of powerful person deserves such a title?
Fang Zhou's mind raced.
He had heard about Principal Su Tiankuo's heroic deeds from several instructors at Haicheng Military Academy, including Lu Hu and Su Xinyan.
As a war god who fought for decades on the battlefield between humans and demons in the mythical world, and who achieved a legendary crown amidst the lamentations and corpses of demons in the abyss, no one has ever called him the guardian of human civilization on any occasion.
What does this mean?
Is there an even higher level of professional players above the legendary crown?
After a moment's thought, Fangzhou temporarily suppressed this doubt.
On an individual level, the amount of magic damage reduction and magic attack reduction gained by each student may not be very significant.
However, if this ritual becomes more sophisticated in the future, consumes fewer resources, and is promoted among thousands of human professionals, then the improvement to the overall combat power of human civilization will be enormous.
If one day the [Soul Nemesis] skill were to become an innate racial talent of humans, then perhaps completely repelling or even defeating the Abyss Demons would no longer be a fantasy.
At that time, it will surely be a place where both Kou and I can go.
The offensive and defensive momentum is different!
As Ark pondered, the ritual fluctuations within the Hall of Glory grew increasingly intense.
At the same time, Lu Hu's fighting spirit and vital energy were being rapidly depleted.
As the [Soul Nemesis] skill was awakened one after another, strange patterns began to appear under the skin of the seeded students in front of the Crystal Monument.
That was a mark reserved exclusively for demons of the abyss.
Fangzhou was also somewhat shocked to discover that the proficiency of the [Soul Nemesis] skill was increasing at an unprecedented rate.
getting Started!
master!
skilled!
proficient!
The Ark remained calm and focused, striving to draw upon the final power of its nemesis's ritual.
A few minutes later, the heavy breathing of the Land Rover instructor could be clearly heard.
Finally, the power fluctuations of the rivalry ritual reached their climax, and then abruptly ceased.
Meanwhile, Ark's proficiency with the [Soul Instinct] skill has been successfully raised to [Perfect].
At this moment, Instructor Lu Hu took a deep breath, his originally strong body trembling slightly, but his words were filled with unwavering determination.
"You should all have awakened the [Soul Nemesis] skill."
From this moment forward, the damage you deal to abyssal demons will be greatly increased, while the damage they deal to you will be reduced.
