Chapter 165 Skills First, Profession Pioneer
Many of the students present were hearing this news for the first time.
They all gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at the ark.
How could a mere apprentice inspire a Gold-rank expert to develop entirely new Gold-rank skills?
Since the beginning of the mythical era, such a thing has never been heard of in the decades-long history of the Human Alliance!
Unaware of the other students' discussions about him, Fangzhou hummed a little tune all the way back to his dormitory.
He first took stock of his equipment and oddities, and then mentally simulated tomorrow's arena challenge for a while.
To put it bluntly, his combat strength during the underground hunt was overwhelmingly superior to that of other military academy candidates.
According to Fang Zhou's prediction, aside from Ye Fan, that resilient and stubborn teenager, the only one who would dare to challenge him on the arena tomorrow is...
It should only be Meng Hongzhuang, the battle maniac who has always wanted to compete with him in summoning art.
Anyone else would be out of their mind to waste a valuable challenge on him.
Those who can become military academy trainees are certainly intelligent and would not normally do such a stupid thing.
After a few rounds of simulations, and finding that he was guaranteed to win no matter how he planned, Fangzhou felt relieved.
He has already secured the number one seed position at Haicheng Military Academy, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose it!
Standing up, Fang Zhou took the mental energy recovery potion and the slime candle he had exchanged with Meng Hongzhuang and walked into the skill training room, which he hadn't visited for three days.
Sitting on the futon, he looked at the skill bar on his attribute panel.
Among the skills mastered by the main body are bone-based skills such as [Bone Spear], [Bone Shield], and [Bone Lock].
They have all reached the [Perfect] level of proficiency.
To raise these skills to the [Instinct] level of proficiency, it will take a lot of time and effort to practice.
Even if you enhance skill proficiency through the attribute panel, it still requires hundreds of soul power.
This price is too heavy for the current Ark; it's something that can be paid but is unnecessary.
After all, the main body is currently developing peacefully and steadily in the rear.
With consistent practice, one can eventually raise all these apprentice-level skills to the [Instinct] level of proficiency; there's no rush to use soul power to accelerate the process.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhou gently shook his head.
No matter how many excuses he makes, the root cause is that his soul power is not sufficient to support such a large expenditure.
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny!
Skull minions, you'd better stand up!
Coming to his senses, Fangzhou looked at his skill bar again.
Despite the variations, the core principles remain the same: the entire Bone skill tree is derived from the Skeleton Armament talent of the Skeleton Clone.
Even if you raise your proficiency to the [Instinct] level, you still won't be able to provide positive feedback to your clone, so there's no rush to practice for now.
【Group Brutality】is quite effective in actual combat, but like the Bone-type skills, it is derived from the 【Brutality Strike】 skill, which is based on clones.
It also cannot provide duplicate feedback to the clone.
Of the remaining skills, the [Skeleton King Meditation Technique] is always in a passive meditation state due to the existence of the clone, so it does not require special practice.
The "Calm and Composed" skill is quite unique; its active release has a very long cooldown time, and there's no way to practice it.
【Dominate the Corpse】is a passive skill, and while there may be room for improvement, it doesn't require active practice.
After eliminating them one by one, a glint of light flashed in Fangzhou's eyes.
Next, he only needs to actively practice the three skills: [Resurrection of the Dead], [Soul Vision], and [Mental Impact]. If he can raise these three skills to the [Instinct] level of proficiency, it will definitely provide good positive feedback to the skeleton clone.
Fangzhou touched his chin and fell into deep thought again.
Of these three skills, the one with the lowest priority is obviously [Mental Shock].
Before Instructor Su Xinyan comes up with a proper enhancement strategy, this area-of-effect damage skill, which requires a lot of mental energy, seems somewhat useless.
The remaining [Resurrection of the Dead] and [Soul Vision] are, respectively, a powerful healing skill and a rare detection skill.
It proved to be very useful in the combat experience of Ark.
Which one should I choose?
After careful consideration, taking into account the current situation of the skeleton clone, Ark finally decided to first practice the [Soul Vision] skill and strive to raise it to the [Instinct] level of proficiency as soon as possible. He wondered what kind of skills could be deduced for the clone based on the [Soul Vision] skill.
Fangzhou was filled with anticipation for this.
With this expectation, he threw himself into practicing the [Soul Vision] skill with great enthusiasm.
Bonuses from equipment and gems.
The skill is called "Calm and Composed".
Mental energy restoration potion.
Slime candles.
With the four enhancements, Ark's mental energy recovery speed is now extremely fast, and the time he can spend practicing skills has naturally increased significantly.
Naturally, his skill proficiency improved much faster than that of other trainees.
After tomorrow's arena challenge, Ark also plans to unbind the [Night Watchman!] rune from the [Summon Skeleton] skill.
Once the cooldown period is over, bind it directly to the [Soul Vision] skill.
At that time, the mental energy consumption for releasing the [Soul Vision] skill will be greatly reduced, thereby indirectly accelerating the efficiency of skill practice.
Cultivation has no time limit; it only awaits those with a willing heart.
Two and a half hours of practice passed quickly, and Fangzhou, exhausted, stood up wearily.
I silently assessed my progress. If I do another practice session like this tomorrow, my proficiency with [Soul Vision] should improve from [Beginner].
Upgraded to "Master".
This efficiency was incredibly fast, and he was very satisfied.
However, human nature is never satisfied; there is always a degree of greed in people's hearts.
【Soul Vision】is a new skill that Ark learned during the process of purifying the core of the Desecrated Torch, and it has not yet been uploaded to the Human Alliance skill library.
Apart from Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan, no other professionals have learned this skill.
Therefore, the military academy's resource vault naturally does not include skill insights for the [Soul Vision] skill.
This is also the predicament of pioneers like Ark.
The road ahead is arduous and every step is difficult.
With no one to guide you ahead and no one to back you up, you can only rely on yourself.
Fortunately, the Ark has a little bit of help provided by the attribute panel, which has allowed it to steadily get to where it is today.
Taking a deep breath and clearing his mind of these distracting thoughts, Fangzhou left the skills training room and rushed to the meditation room.
What followed was his most enjoyable hunting moment.
Fang Zhou took out a bottle of Soul Soothing Potion, drank it all in one gulp, smiled slightly, and closed his eyes.
Skeleton clones, activate!
