Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 16 Nobody knows skeletons better than me

Meditation is the foundation of a mage's combat power, determining their growth rate and upper limit of combat strength.

A few days ago, when Fangzhou first came into contact with the [Skull Meditation Method], he felt that the accompanying skull visualization diagram was a bit off.

After mastering the basics of Ark, he felt more clearly that the Skeleton Meditation Method was not entirely harmonious and had room for improvement.

As his skeleton clones wreaked havoc these past few days, his understanding of the skeleton imagery deepened, and the "can be improved" symbol finally appeared on his attribute panel's skill bar.

During his exploration in the Ark, he discovered that attribute panel improvements or skill deductions did not arise out of thin air, but required him to possess the corresponding knowledge.

The amount of soul power required varies depending on the completeness of the knowledge.

To improve the Skeleton Meditation Technique, 100 points of Soul Power are required, which undoubtedly takes several days to accumulate.

.......

The next few days were busy and fulfilling for Fangzhou.

In addition to the basic courses arranged by Haicheng Military Academy, he intermittently controlled his skeleton clone to grind for two hours every day to level up, resulting in a significant increase in the four-dimensional attributes of both his main body and the clone.

Base Attributes: Strength 1.6, Constitution 1.5, Agility 1.4, Spirit 3.5

Clone [Attributes] Strength 7, Constitution 6, Agility 5, Spirit 5

[Soul Power] 110

While enhancing its four-dimensional attributes and accumulating soul power, Ark also raised the proficiency of its main body's [Skeleton Meditation] and [Summon Skeleton] skills to [Proficient], and [Calmness] to [Master].

Furthermore, through continuous practice, he also improved the proficiency of his clone's [Brutal Strike] and [Charge] skills to [Proficient], resulting in a significant increase in combat power.

However, the most crucial thing for Fangzhou was that he had accumulated 100 points of soul power.

Late at night, in the dormitory.

Fangzhou sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing his attention on the plus sign in the skills section of the attribute panel.

"A skill that can be improved has been detected. It is estimated that it will require 100 points of soul power."

"Should we begin making improvements?"

Fang Zhou calmed himself and said in a deep voice, "Begin the improvements."

With 100 points of soul power rapidly consumed, Ark once again entered a state of bursting inspiration.

In the hazy light, it seemed that the Ark had once again returned to the perspective of the skeleton clone.

He walked across the desolate land, where countless skeletons lay, under a blood-red moon.

Skeletons are the lowest-ranking undead; they are the most insignificant beings.

Skeletons have a limited growth potential, but they are the necessary path for necromancers to access the underworld.

Imitate it, play it, learn it, become it.

Suddenly, Fang Zhou had a flash of inspiration, and he completely transformed the awkward skull image in his mind into his own skull clone.

I am the strongest skeleton. Instead of going to great lengths, I should just visualize myself.

Nobody knows skulls better than me!

"The improved [Skull Meditation Method] has been successfully completed. Please name it."

Fang Zhou snapped out of his daze, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Name it the [Skeleton King Meditation Method]."

At this moment, the image of the skeleton in his mind was the skeleton clone he was most familiar with, wielding a long bone spear.

Fang Zhou was confident that his skeletal clones would steadily ascend to the throne of the Skeleton King, and that the Skeleton King was by no means the end.

Looking at my skill panel, I saw that [Skeleton Meditation] had been successfully changed to [Bone King Meditation].

Fangzhou pondered this carefully.

The new [Skeleton King Meditation Method] is at least 30% more efficient than before.

This also means that the growth rate of Ark's spiritual attributes will be 30% faster than before.

Perhaps he will be able to advance to the mid-level apprentice rank before the simulated battlefield is opened.

Satisfied, he then began planning his future career path.

First, the main body needs to devise a suitable and easy-to-use skeletal control skill.

In this way, the attack can be completed with summoning skeletons and bone spears, the defense can be completed with bone shields, and the control skills are also completed.

During the apprenticeship stage, Ark's combat system is basically formed.

As for the clone, it needs to master more combat skills and quickly raise its level to the upper apprentice rank.

At that time, Ark can confidently control the skeleton clones to explore further into the Burial Wasteland.

With his soul power still in reserve, Fangzhou closed his eyes and tried to deduce the skeletal control skills.

However, the attribute panel displayed the message, "Required skill materials are missing."

Fangzhou was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.

Perhaps I don't have enough knowledge, and the attribute panel can't be created out of thin air. I can't deduce all the bone-type skills just by relying on bone armor.

Since that's the case, Fangzhou won't force the issue.

He stood up and stretched slightly.

The skill materials required by the attribute panel should refer to the control skills of other professions in the Human Alliance skill library.

To exchange for skills from other professions, you naturally need a lot of contribution points.

It seems I need to put earning contribution points on my agenda.

Currently, the most realistic way to obtain a large number of contribution points is through the two new skeletal skills I've developed.

Skeleton spears and skeleton shields!

Anyway, Fangzhou hadn't originally planned to hide it; he just wanted to wait a while before reporting to the military academy, which would seem more reasonable.

He developed the new skill entirely through his own efforts, and if the military academy asks about it, he can explain the underlying principles.

When Earth Knight Zhao Yuan awakened, he obtained the Rock Will skill and received a 100 contribution point reward for uploading it to the Human Alliance skill library.

So, with these two new skills, I should be able to earn at least 200 contribution points.

Fangzhou thought to himself with some uncertainty.

......

The next morning, Fangzhou arrived at Classroom 1.

As soon as Bai Xiaochuan saw him come in, she excitedly waved to him.

Fang Zhou swayed as he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Xiaochun gave Ye Fan a thumbs up and said cheerfully, "Fangzhou, our Boss Ye is giving you a treat."

Do you remember when he was pulled into a demon hunter research group?

Recently, this research group needs some combat sparring partners, preferably those at the same level as Ye Fan.

"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders," Ye Fan thought of you.

This comes with a generous reward of contribution points!

"Oh?" Fang Zhou's eyes lit up.

It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're sleepy; he was just short of contribution points, and this chuunibyou (delusional) teenager Ye Fan came to give him a freebie.

He turned to Ye Fan and asked, "Brother Ye, what exactly happened? Tell me about it."

Ye Fan crossed his arms and said proudly, "I, Ye Fan, have never been inferior to anyone in my life. Looking back on the entire company, the only ones who can be called heroes are Ye Fan and Zhou."

Fang Zhou was speechless; this kid was hopeless.

He coughed lightly, patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, and got straight to the point: "Good brother, tell me, how much?"
