Chapter 237 Bones and Cheongsam, Supporting the Succubus
Fangzhou was eager to experience the effects of the two new skills he had acquired tonight: [Parry Counterattack] and [Iron Wall Aura].
So he first projected his consciousness onto the skull clone.
Looking at Tryndamere waiting for his orders, the Ark Soulfire flickered slightly, giving Tryndamere a command that was completely different from his own.
Tryndamere, of course, carried out Ark's orders without question.
He raised the decapitation sword high in his hand, bowed slightly, and then charged towards the ark.
Fang Zhou held the Corpse Spear, his strong skeletal body standing motionless like an ancient colossus, unafraid of any enemy's attack.
Clang!
As Tryndamere charged toward the Ark, the decapitation sword, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, slashed toward the Ark in a dazzling arc.
Parry and counterattack!
Fangzhou decisively used the newly acquired general skill for Black Iron-level combatants.
His movements were fluid and graceful. With a slight turn of his skeletal spear, he precisely caught the trajectory of the greatsword and elegantly parried Tryndamere's decapitation sword.
Immediately afterwards, the Corpse Spear tilted slightly to the right, causing Tryndamere's heavy decapitation sword to also tilt to the right.
Tryndamere's figure was also slightly swayed by Ark's exquisite parrying skills, forcing him into a state of losing control.
With a flash of Ark Soulfire, he immediately and astutely seized this fleeting opportunity presented by the parry and counterattack skill.
Then, the skeletal spear in his hand thrust out like a silver dragon.
Taking advantage of Tryndamere's momentary lapse in defense after his decapitation sword was blocked, he thrust it directly at Tryndamere's sternum.
A strong, pungent smell.
The +2 refined and incredibly sharp spear pierced Tryndamere's sternum, sending him flying several meters away.
Tryndamere could no longer maintain his balance and was sent flying by the enormous impact of Ark's casual strike. A bowl-sized hole was pierced in his sternum by the spear of the skeleton.
If Ark's attack had been aimed at Tryndamere's skull and soul fire, the highly skilled mutated skeleton warrior would have been annihilated in an instant.
Ordering Tryndamere to hunt a few prey to heal his wounds, Ark swung the Corpse Spear in his hand with some satisfaction.
Although it was just a small test, Fangzhou had already clearly sensed the huge boost to his combat power brought about by the parry and counterattack skill.
Prior to this, thanks to the passive buffs from the [Advanced Weapon Specialization] skill, as well as the attack power boosts from the [Heroic Charge] and [Brutal Strike] skills, he was already considered one of the top undead creatures of the same level, standing out from the crowd.
Now, the addition of the parry and counterattack skill is like the final piece of the puzzle, perfectly filling the only gap in the skeleton clone's defense.
This makes the Ark not only invincible in attack but also watertight in defense, making it a true all-rounder.
It is both offensive and defensive, and virtually invincible.
Looking up at the dazzling blood-red moon in the sky, Fangzhou felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion welling up from the depths of his soul.
Knowing that he had reached his limit, Fangzhou stopped pushing himself.
Under the heavy guard of dozens of skeleton servants, he slowly retreated into the safe haven and logged off his skeleton clone.
Focus on meditation in the meditation room.
Fangzhou, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the corner, opened his eyes.
It was nearly midnight.
The other seed trainees had already left, returning to their warm beds and basking in the embrace of dreams.
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight as bright as silk.
The skylight in the dome let in starlight and moonlight, which poured down and fell on the ark.
He slowly rose, his body swaying slightly—a natural reaction of his muscles and bones after a long period of meditation. Ark moved his slightly stiff body, his joints making soft sounds.
Then, he snapped his fingers lightly.
It was as if an electric current was flowing through the air, and a gray vortex appeared out of nowhere, briefly connecting the two different worlds.
Two skeletons nimbly emerged from within and stood before the ark, quietly awaiting their master's commands.
Fangzhou's gaze shifted between them, a hint of anticipation and excitement flashing in his eyes. He chanted a spell softly, first casting the [Bone Blade] skill on the two skeletons, assembling two bone greatswords for them, turning them into greatsword skeletons.
Then, Fangzhou focused his mind, condensing his invisible spiritual power into a tangible form, and released the [Iron Wall Aura] at the skeleton on his left.
Under Ark's focused gaze, a grayish-white light instantly bloomed around the skull, then quickly disappeared.
Although its appearance did not show any significant changes, this skeleton seemed to have been infused with endless perseverance and power, becoming a true iron-walled skeleton.
With a thought, Fang Zhou commanded the two skeletons to fight a desperate battle in front of him.
Upon receiving the summoner's explicit command, the two skeletons immediately went into battle ready state.
The ordinary greatsword skeleton on the right, which was not blessed by the Iron Wall Aura, launched the attack first.
With the buff from the Bone Blade skill, it skillfully wielded its greatsword and launched a fierce charge towards the Iron Wall Skeleton opposite it.
The sword flashed, and the air was filled with the decaying stench of death.
However, Ironclad Skeleton was not to be outdone by this powerful offensive.
It stood as steady as a rock, its greatsword like an indestructible shield.
Each swing carries an invincible power, neutralizing the opponent's attacks one by one.
With a clang.
The two skeletal greatswords clashed again, and both of them developed some nicks and slits.
Fangzhou stood aside, silently watching this life-or-death struggle, waiting for the moment when the [Iron Wall Aura] would take effect.
His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, not missing a single detail.
At first, the two greatsword skeletons seemed evenly matched, with no clear winner.
The bone swords in their hands developed cracks under the intense attack.
However, as the gray light on the bone greatsword in the Ironwall Skeleton's hand flashed and disappeared, the ordinary skeleton's all-out attack was successfully parried and returned empty-handed.
Moreover, after the successful parry, a large portion of the blade of the bone greatsword in the ordinary skeleton's hand was shattered by the reaction force, rendering it unable to fight any longer.
Even worse, after the normal skeleton's all-out attack was successfully blocked, it was left in a fatal state of being unable to strike.
Driven by its fighting instincts, Ironwall would naturally not miss this opportunity.
It swung its still-intact bone greatsword fiercely, taking advantage of its opponent's inability to retaliate. With a single strike, it severed the bone in its opponent's right arm, which was holding the greatsword.
The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible as the sword flashed.
Although the ordinary skeleton had no sense of pain, losing its weapon and an arm bone meant it had lost its most crucial fighting ability.
Although it still tried to launch a counterattack with its healing teeth and bone claws, it was nothing more than a desperate struggle against the Ironwall Skeleton's bone greatsword.
Before long, the Iron Wall Skull had killed an ordinary skeleton with roughly the same combat power as itself almost unscathed.
After winning the battle, it gripped its skeletal greatsword tightly in one hand and held its opponent's skull high in the other, looking at the ark, the soul fire within the skull burning ever brighter.
Fangzhou watched the entire battle between the two skeletons from the side and couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
The power of the Iron Wall Aura has been fully demonstrated in this battle.
It not only greatly enhances the defensive capabilities of the undead creatures it summons, but also provides them with a certain probability of attacking and defeating their enemies.
As an apprentice-level support skill, Iron Wall Aura is already quite impressive in its power, and Ark is very satisfied with its effect.
After savoring the battle, Fangzhou elegantly snapped his fingers, and the two skeletons instantly transformed into wisps of ghostly light, banished back to the Netherworld.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Fangzhou stretched, feeling as if all the muscles and bones in his body had finally relaxed.
He yawned slightly, a hint of weariness flashing in his eyes, but more so with satisfaction and anticipation.
With a sense of relief, Fangzhou left the meditation room and embarked on the path back to his dormitory.
The next afternoon, in the underground training ground of the Hall of Glory.
Roar!
In the depths where sunlight cannot reach, the roars of ten lesser demons echoed like the call of hell in the vast underground space.
These ten lesser demons, whose strength had been unleashed to a certain extent and who had reached the intermediate level of apprentices, were being tightly surrounded by 30 skeletons of the same strength summoned by the Ark.
These undead creatures had a chilling gleam between their bones, and the weapons they gripped were even more menacing, like the scythe of death.
According to the Human Alliance's assessment of the combat strength of Lesser Demons and Skeletons, the racial combat strength coefficient of Skeletons, an apprentice-level undead creature, is far lower than that of Lesser Demons.
Under the same level of cultivation and the same four-dimensional attributes, a lowly demon can easily tear a skeleton to pieces.
Therefore, generally speaking, although the number of skeletons on the field currently holds an absolute advantage, these 10 lesser demons all wore disdainful sneers.
Their fierce gazes pierced through the army of skeletons, locking onto the ark, their eyes filled with savage killing intent and rage.
At a command from the instructor on the sidelines, the chains and iron cages that had been holding the 10 little demons were released.
The battle horns then sounded.
The battle between the lesser demons and the army of skeletons erupted instantly.
Below the stage, the other first-year seed students were also watching this killing spree that far exceeded their combat capabilities.
They held their breath, their faces filled with pity as they looked at the ten little demons tightly surrounded on the stage.
Everyone was curious about how these lesser demons would meet a gruesome end under the siege of the skeleton army.
Upon their first encounter, the little demons in the training field were completely baffled.
The skeletal creatures that were once as fragile as paper under their claws have now become indestructible, as if endowed with some unknown power.
For some reason, these originally small bone clubs are now equipped with sophisticated skeletal weapons.
With the aid of these weapons, attacks that were originally unable to penetrate their sturdy scales have now become incredibly sharp.
As the battle unfolded, what pained these battle-hardened lesser demons most was that these bone weapons not only possessed extremely powerful armor-piercing and killing capabilities, but also carried death energy and corrosive poison damage that they loathed and trembled at.
No matter how chaotic and powerful the demons of the abyss may be, they are still ultimately made of flesh and blood.
They have an instinctive aversion to the aura of death, and no unique resistance can withstand the corrosive power of this force.
Under the Ark's merciless mass brutality spell, these skeletons not only gained a power boost but also gained an absolute numerical advantage.
The thirty armed skeletons he summoned, like surging waves, surrounded the ten lesser demons, pushing them into a deadly predicament with nowhere to escape.
However, the demons of the abyss are, after all, the dominant race in the mythological world.
The nature of the demons of the abyss is etched with ferocity and indomitable spirit.
Their innate ferocity makes them prone to fighting to the death in such desperate situations, even if it means biting off a few pieces of flesh before they die.
So the lesser demons launched their final assault.
Their claws sliced through the air like lightning, their steel forks spun in the air, and they attacked the skeletons with a deathly howl.
However, to their despair, it seemed as if a mysterious and unpredictable force had intervened on the battlefield.
For some reason, their attacks, which involved wielding claws or steel forks at the armed skeletons, were deflected and easily parried by the skeletons.
Just as the lesser demons were showing weaknesses due to their thwarted offensive, the Ark's command, like the whisper of death, guided the skeletons to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Under their control, the skeletal weapons became messengers of death.
Every swing was precise, every strike carried the resolve to end everything.
Faced with this irresistible force, the lesser demons fell one by one, their souls finding their final resting place in the eternal slumber of death.
On the training field, the little lesser demons' final desperate screams echoed in the air like a death knell.
Fangzhou easily defeated ten opponents in this combat training exercise.
In fact, if it weren't for testing the practical effects of the [Bone Blade] and [Iron Wall Aura] that he had just deduced, Ark wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths to summon the skeleton army and engage in close combat with these 10 lesser demons.
The [Bone Spear] he wielded was incredibly sharp; just a few shots were enough to crush these lesser demons one by one, as easily as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Fortunately, the final results in actual combat did not disappoint Ark.
At this moment, many first-year seeded students watching from below the stage couldn't help but burst into thunderous applause.
The vast majority of them, whether it was seed number 2 Meng Hongzhuang or seed number 4 Gu Zhiqi, were completely convinced of Fangzhou's terrifying combat power.
Even Ye Fan, the third seed who was arrogant and self-important, felt a rare moment of doubt about his own strength when he looked at the skeletons wielding weapons and shimmering with black light in front of Fang Zhou.
Could I really not be able to defeat even a small skeleton that Ark can summon at will?
Shaking his head to banish the absurd idea from his mind, Ye Fan couldn't help but clench his fists.
How ridiculous! His goal is the legendary crown!
Although Fang Zhou is indeed much stronger than him at present, and is qualified to be Ye Fan's lifelong enemy, does he really think he can make him bow down and admit defeat with a mere, most worthless summoned creature?
That's absolutely impossible!
Strive to cultivate yourself!
We must redouble our efforts in cultivation!
Once he breaks through to the intermediate apprentice level, he must challenge the Ark.
Surrounded by instructors and classmates, they defeated Ark in a fair and square manner, and then reclaimed the throne of No. 1 seed.
Ignoring the myriad thoughts of the students below, Fang Zhou snapped his fingers, banishing the 30 weapon-wielding skeletons back to the Netherworld. He was fairly satisfied with the result.
After all, the skeletons he summoned were not ordinary apprentice-level skeletons.
With the [Summon Skeleton] skill at the basic proficiency level, the strength of these summoned creatures has reached the mid-apprentice level.
Not to mention that with the enhancement of their fully upgraded luxury equipment and rare items like the Flower of Sighs, all of Ark's spell effects have been improved.
This naturally includes his core skill, [Summon Skeletons].
In addition, there are a series of buff skills such as Dominate Corpses, Mass Brutality, Bone Blade, and Iron Wall Aura.
These small skeletons have evolved into a valiant and skilled army of armed skeletons.
There's nothing to be proud of in eliminating 10 lesser demons without taking any damage by relying on numerical superiority.
Just as he was deep in thought, Instructor Lu Hu waved his hand and issued a new instruction.
He asked the other ninety-nine seed trainees to continue to form three-person teams through random drawing, following the previous rules.
But this time, they were not facing simple opponents, but four equally powerful lesser abyssal demons.
The difficulty and danger of the battle have undoubtedly increased significantly.
After the order was given, Meng Hongzhuang, Ye Fan and others, although still filled with awe and amazement at the awe-inspiring performance of the Ark, quickly put these feelings aside and devoted themselves to the intense tactical discussions and live-fire exercises.
Fangzhou has completed his combat training mission for the day.
He walked off the training field with a relaxed expression and came to Lu Hu's instructor.
Instructor Lu Hu patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder approvingly and said, "Well done, Fang Zhou."
The skeletons you summoned are many times stronger than the skeletons Xin Yan summoned back then.
Fang Zhou smiled slightly and said very modestly, "That's because there are pioneering professionals like Instructor Xin Yan who have paved the way."
It laid a solid foundation for us who came after.
I stand on the shoulders of giants, but I dare not take pride in it.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Instructor Lu Hu's eyes. He gently shook his head and sighed, "What a wonderful example of standing on the shoulders of giants."
No wonder Xinyan likes you so much.
Not only are you not arrogant or conceited at all, but your sweet words are also incredibly charming, touching everyone's hearts with your kindest remarks.
He looked up at the fierce infighting among the rookies in the training field, waved to Fang Zhou, and said, "Your practical training course is over for today."
I don't have any teaching assignments left, so you can do whatever you want.
Fang Zhou nodded, saluted Instructor Lu Hu, and walked to the rest area to sit down.
After watching the other trainees' performance for a while, Fangzhou lowered his head and opened his personal terminal.
He was about to log into "Total War: Extinction of Demons" when a message notification suddenly came from his personal terminal.
【The Undead Mage is Invincible】(Su Xinyan): "Fangzhou, remember to come over here after class."
The live juvenile trolls I applied for from the military academy have been delivered to the lab.
There's only one in the first batch. You can come and try it out and do some experiments.
Huang Qiuyue and Shen Ziwei have also received the news and are currently waiting for you in the lab.
A glint flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes, and he stood up with some excitement.
Instructor Xinyan is really awesome.
Unexpectedly, the most important experimental material for the professional bone regeneration project, the "living troll," was delivered to the laboratory so quickly. He immediately sent a message back to Instructor Su Xinyan.
【An Ordinary Apprentice】(Fang Zhou): "Instructor Xin Yan, my practical class this afternoon is over, and I'm going back to the lab right away."
Please wait a moment with Instructor Huang Qiuyue.
Then, Fang Zhou stood up, greeted Instructor Lu Hu, and walked out of the underground passage toward the necromancer research group.
In the laboratory, Fang Zhou's eyes lit up the moment he saw Instructor Su Xinyan.
Today, her outfit was exceptionally sexy and elegant.
She abandoned her usual elegant and flowing long dresses and put on a rose-red cheongsam.
The cheongsam clung tightly to Su Xinyan's figure, perfectly showcasing her succubus-like curves.
But it doesn't come across as vulgar; instead, it has an indescribably elegant and refined feel.
Beneath her slightly updo, her fair and slender neck was exposed, along with a small patch of smooth, beautiful back, the lines of her delicate skin exuding an astonishing charm.
But her incredibly slender waistline suddenly rises sharply at her peach-shaped nipple, creating a large, rounded shape that almost blows people's minds away.
Below that were two long, slender, fair legs encased in flesh-colored stockings as thin as cicada wings, exuding allure.
Seeing Fang Zhou knock on the door and enter, Instructor Su Xinyan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then bent down to take off her high heels.
The roundness of her back was highlighted, and the scene of her small, delicate feet emerging from her shoes was even more alluring.
Fang Zhou remained expressionless, his eyes fixed intently on Instructor Su Xinyan's every move.
For some reason, under Fang Zhouchu's piercing gaze, she couldn't take off her high heels.
So Instructor Su Xinyan couldn't help but lean against the wall, turn around and glare at Fang Zhou, and said coquettishly, "What are you doing standing here, you clueless little apprentice?"
"When there's trouble, the disciple should do the work; don't you know how to help your teacher?"
Fang Zhou smiled and nodded. Then, he suddenly squatted down and reached out to grab Su Xinyan's delicate ankle.
"Instructor Xinyan, you're moving so slowly, are you tired? Let me help you."
He spoke in a casual tone, and then began to help Su Xinyan take off her shoes.
But his hands weren't actually taking them off.
Gently gather, slowly twist, rub, and pick – it's clearly about playing with and enjoying the process.
