Chapter 361 Attribute Explosion, Sequence Challenge!
Su Xinyan paused for a moment, then continued, "Ark, in fact, to summon mutated undead creatures, you first need to have the ability to sense their soul fluctuations."
Next, you need to resonate with these soul vibrations in meditation, understand their nature, and integrate this understanding into your summoning spells.
"More importantly, the reason why mutated undead creatures are so powerful is that they have, to some extent, broken through the boundaries of their original form and power."
This requires you to not only have enough mana to summon them, but also a matching mental will.
Otherwise, even if you successfully summon them, you may not be able to control them, or even be devoured by them.
Su Xinyan's words carried a hint of warning, reminding Fang Zhou: "Every summoning is an adventure, especially summoning mutated undead creatures."
You need to be fully prepared, not only technically but also mentally.
Because if the summoning fails, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Fangzhou nodded thoughtfully.
After Su Xinyan's clear and concise explanation, he finally understood the difficulties that ordinary necromancers faced when learning summoning skills.
They need to accumulate experience through countless meditations in order to accurately grasp the soul fluctuations of each undead creature, thereby increasing the success rate of summoning.
However, a glint flashed in Fangzhou's eyes.
These obstacles, which are insurmountable for others, seem to have no existence for him.
After all, his skeletal clones are roaming the Netherworld, experiencing countless battles.
The so-called soul fluctuations of undead creatures, and the so-called sufficient understanding of undead creatures, were no longer abstract concepts to him.
During his hunt with his skeletal clones, he encountered and devoured numerous mutated undead creatures.
Some became his skeletal servants, while others became the resources for his growth.
In particular, Ark conducted extensive dissections and studies on rare mutated undead creatures such as zombie wolves and zombie spiders.
Is this in-depth understanding enough for the Ark's main body to deduce the skills that would allow it to successfully summon them?
The reason we didn't realize this before was partly because Ark's understanding of undead summoning skills was not deep enough.
On the other hand, it was because he was previously in the apprentice stage, and apprentice-level skeletons have almost no chance of mutation, which meant he hadn't thought about this issue in depth before.
Now that they've realized this, Ark naturally has a clear direction for their efforts.
Just as Fang Zhou was deep in thought, Su Xinyan seemed to have thought of something. She opened her personal terminal, quickly operated it a few times, and then transmitted a piece of encrypted data to Fang Zhou.
"This is one of the results of my and Master Sandru's efforts over this period of time."
You can think of it as an encyclopedia of all the undead creatures that we human necromancers currently possess.
Of course, the majority of them are still the ordinary undead creatures I just told you about.
In addition, information on hundreds of human necromancers, as well as various mutated undead creatures previously unearthed from the ruins of the Naraku civilization, is also included.
We have done our best to be as complete as possible, but due to the vast gap between life and death, there are certainly still many imperfections.
Su Xinyan looked at Fang Zhou with anticipation in her eyes.
She hopes that this information will be helpful to Ark, and also hopes that Ark can make up for these shortcomings in future research.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "For the past few months, I have been working with Master Sandru on this topic."
Only in the last few days have we managed to achieve some initial results.
Now that you've broken through to the Black Iron rank, you can refer to this Undead Creature Encyclopedia and try to capture the soul fluctuations of these mutated undead creatures to see if you can summon them.
With your intelligence and terrifying talent as a necromancer, you might just surprise us.
Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow slightly, then opened his personal terminal and quickly browsed the undead creature encyclopedia that Su Xinyan had sent him.
He turned the pages one by one, carefully examining each entry in the illustrated guide.
In addition to the familiar skeleton warriors and zombies, the undead creatures in the Black Iron stage also include some mutated undead creatures, such as zombie wolves, skeletal hounds, and giant zombies.
Among these mutated undead creatures, some were ones his skeletal clones had already encountered, while others were ones he had not yet come into contact with.
This encyclopedia of undead creatures was undoubtedly a valuable resource for him!
Although he thought this way, Fangzhou did not show much emotion on his face.
He simply patted Su Xinyan's shoulder lightly, then sighed and replied, "Thank you, Instructor Xinyan."
"It's really tough being a necromancer like us. The only way is to unite and work together to perfect our skill tree."
The two then spent some more time discussing the topic of the undead creature encyclopedia.
Fang Zhou, in particular, sought Su Xinyan's advice on methods and techniques for summoning mutated undead creatures at the Black Iron rank.
Su Xinyan naturally shared all her knowledge and experience with Fang Zhou without reservation. However, unfortunately, at the Black Iron rank, her most frequently used summoning spells were still Summon Skeleton Warriors and Summon Zombies.
Although he could occasionally sense the soul fluctuations of mutated undead creatures during meditation, he had never successfully summoned them.
This made Fangzhou somewhat disappointed, but it also ignited a fierce fighting spirit within him.
At the Iron level, the combat skills of all professions and various Iron-level monsters have been comprehensively enhanced.
Although the Skeleton Warriors possess their own skeletal armor, and the zombies' powerful flesh and putrefactive properties are also quite effective, these still cannot fully meet the Ark's needs.
In particular, the cavalry-type and flying-type undead creatures he has been longing for are still nowhere to be found.
While browsing the undead creature encyclopedia, Ark discovered some undead creatures that might be useful.
Next, he plans to combine his hunting experience with the corpse clones and try to make some deductions.
Su Xinyan then inquired about Fang Zhou's attribute leap after breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to Black Iron.
As is well known, after a human professional breaks through a major realm, their four-dimensional attributes will experience a significant surge and leap, depending on their individual talents.
This is also a vivid embodiment of the phrase "accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing it" in the professional development career of an individual.
Even at the very beginning of the Mythical Era, some professionals would deliberately suppress their realm advancement in order to achieve the greatest leap in attributes.
However, these professionals often fail to keep up with the pace of progress of the mainstream and are unable to cope with the various challenges that follow, ultimately leading to tragic ends.
Furthermore, this act of forcibly suppressing one's cultivation level does not conform to the natural and spontaneous principles of cultivation, and therefore cannot achieve a good amplification effect.
On the other hand, given the backdrop of the bloody war between humans and demons, this approach is a waste of resources and talent.
Therefore, after several decades of development and with increasingly mature theories of cultivation, this old-fashioned approach of "suppressing one's spiritual level to enhance one's foundation" has been abandoned.
Cultivation is about science.
Scientific cultivation leads to boundless power.
A breakthrough like Fangzhou's tonight, which came about naturally and effortlessly, is the kind of dream that countless pioneers have proven to be most beneficial for personal development and long-term prospects.
Fangzhou estimated his four-dimensional attributes and had a rough idea of the numbers.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to play it safe.
So he replied to Su Xinyan, "Strength, physique, and agility—Instructor Xinyan, you should have felt this during the massage just now; they all increased by about two times."
"And for us necromancers, our most important attribute, Spirit, increases by about two to three times."
Fang Zhou thought his statement was conservative enough, but Su Xinyan still looked surprised and incredulous when she heard it.
"How much? How much did your mental attributes increase? Two to three times?"
Do you know what this means?
This means that at the very beginning, you are already a significant step ahead of all the professionals who have just broken through to the lower Iron rank.
Even back then—”
At this point, Su Xinyan suddenly realized something, covered her mouth, and stopped talking.
Fang Zhou smiled reservedly, then asked with some curiosity, "Instructor Xin Yan, when you broke through your bottleneck and advanced to Black Iron, how many times did your mental attributes increase?"
Su Xinyan took a few deep breaths, awkwardly looked away, and snorted softly, saying, "Why are you asking this?"
Although I can't compare to you, I'm not far off from you either.
Although that's what she said, Su Xinyan knew very well what was going on in her heart.
Among the rare group of necromancers, Ark's two to three times increase in mental power after breaking through the bottleneck of a major realm is unprecedented.
At that time, she had only improved by about 80%.
Even so, this saved her a lot of time and energy needed for cultivation.
Fangzhou looked at his attribute panel and saw that his mental attribute had reached 30 points, giving him a clearer understanding of how extraordinary his talent was.
He couldn't help but marvel at how capable he had become.
It took Su Xinyan a long time to calm down and accept Fang Zhou's crushing blow to her talent once again.
She pinched Fang Zhou's waist hard and said angrily, "With your potential, as long as you have enough cultivation resources, it probably won't be long before you break through to the middle level of Black Iron."
Fang Zhou gripped Su Xinyan's hand tightly and smiled, "That's true."
So I just spent all my thousands of contribution points and exchanged them for a large amount of cultivation resources.
For example, the Nova Mage Set, the Class Specialization Training Manual, Attribute Elixirs, and more than a dozen Black Iron-level skills —
Hearing Fang Zhou's well-organized training plan, Su Xinyan felt relieved and analyzed her training experience with Fang Zhou on these professional specialties and Iron-level skills one by one.
As she spoke, she exclaimed, "Only someone as wealthy as you could afford to spend so much."
Especially those four attribute-enhancing potions, I estimate that even among the second-year students who have already broken through to the Black Iron level, many haven't collected enough contribution points to exchange for them.
If it were any other student, wouldn't they carefully and slowly accumulate contribution points, exchanging them little by little for the skills and equipment they want?
"But, can you learn all these skills at once?"
Fang Zhou confidently replied, "With my talent, Instructor Xin Yan, do you still need to worry?"
Don't worry, these are all carefully selected high-quality skills that I'm sure I'll be able to use.
These skills are essential in order to quickly develop one's own combat capabilities.
I will never try to do too much at once.
Su Xinyan nodded and said, "That's true."
The skills you redeemed, whether they are necromancer class skills or general mage skills, are all very useful to you.
Even if some skills themselves may not be powerful enough to fully meet your needs, they are sufficient as material for you to deduce new skills.
At this moment, Fang Zhou seemed to have thought of something and said to Su Xinyan, "By the way, Instructor Xinyan, I saw that the resource library of Haicheng Military Academy has recently added a new batch of undead attribute resources, which can be used as alchemy reserves."
I've just broken through to the Black Iron rank, so my part-time apprentice alchemist sub-profession can also be upgraded.
When it's convenient for you, please teach me alchemy properly.
If I can advance to the level of a novice alchemist, I can try to upgrade or create white, common-quality artifacts myself.
So, those gray, low-quality oddities that I originally had no use for might actually come in handy.
Even as a reinforcement material, it's an excellent choice.
Su Xinyan nodded and said, "No problem."
I didn't expect you to break through so quickly, and I didn't have any ready-made alchemy learning materials.
Give me a few days, I'll organize and summarize everything, and then I'll begin systematic instruction for you.
At this point, she changed the subject, saying, "By the way, it's almost the end of the semester."
According to the previous Land Rover's plan for skipping grades, you are now eligible to apply for the skipping grade assessment.
With your lower-level Iron rank, I think you could apply for exemption from those combat assessments.
The rest are all theoretical and knowledge-based tests, which shouldn't pose any problem for you.
Fang Zhou nodded and said, "I'll go and apply to Instructor Lu Hu for a grade skipping assessment tomorrow."
If all goes well, I can skip to the second year of military academy next semester.
Su Xinyan smiled and said, "You were undoubtedly the number one seed in the first year."
However, once you skip to the second year, I wonder if you can continue to outperform everyone else.
At least I've heard that Gu Yueyuan, the number one seed in the second year, is a very powerful and troublesome class in the Hive Walker class.
Especially since he broke through several months earlier than you.
Although he hasn't reached the mid-level Black Iron rank yet, he frequently participates in various combat missions issued by the military academy, so his mastery of various new Black Iron-level skills is definitely more proficient than yours is now.
"If you two go head-to-head, I wonder if you can wrest the number one seed from him as a second-year student."
