Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 470 A terrifying summoning list, a qualitative change in combat power!

Although the innate spell in the gaseous mana core is currently only at the Iron level, Fang Zhou is very confident.

Once you master higher-level shield skills, such as the Rot Shield of the Corruption type and the Soul Protection of the Soul type, you can gradually integrate these skills into your own talent skills, thereby continuously improving and evolving them.

Fangzhou looked at the description of the skill bar in the attribute panel. Sure enough, the [Bone Armor] skill had been changed to [Death's Blessing], and there was also a talent skill label.

He closed his eyes and focused on sensing the subtle changes within the gaseous magic core.

The buffs provided by the solidified talent skills are simple and straightforward, yet exceptionally powerful.

After solidifying the [Death's Blessing] skill into a talent skill, Ark will then maintain a powerful Death's Blessing shield on its body as a permanent state.

Furthermore, each time this skill is used actively, the spell's effect will be enhanced by 50%.

This directly enhances the Ark's strategic capabilities and combat system from the ground up.

By now, Fang Zhou has become a true Bronze-rank necromancer.

Nevertheless, Fangzhou was well aware that his current combat strength was still significantly lower than that of a standard Bronze-rank professional.

After all, he has only mastered some Iron-level skills.

He had not mastered a single true bronze-level skill or mage feat.

Thinking of this, Fangzhou looked at his attribute panel, where his main attribute of spirit had jumped to a high of 300 points.

Strength, Constitution, and Agility attributes have all been increased to 150 points.

Taking a deep, satisfied breath, Fangzhou opened his personal terminal.

During this time, he worked hard hunting in the Beast Mountain Range and completing various tasks issued by the Beast City, accumulating a huge amount of contribution points and magic stones, all so that he could exchange them for the skills and equipment he wanted as soon as possible after breaking through to the Bronze rank.

Now, let's start spending money!

Fangzhou accessed the resource library of Haicheng Military Academy.

Fortunately, the network connection in the Beast Arena is relatively stable, and there is also an office of the Sea City Military Academy.

Fangzhou was able to successfully log into the intranet of Haicheng Military Academy using the serial number of his personal terminal.

Firstly, for the Ark, the most direct and effective way to improve is to obtain bronze elixirs that can enhance basic attributes.

These secret elixirs are designed specifically for bronze-level professionals and can significantly improve the user's four basic attributes: strength, constitution, agility, and spirit.

Most importantly, they do not cause any side effects and are extremely precious cultivation resources.

Fangzhou had taken the same series of attribute-enhancing potions during his apprentice and Iron stages.

Now that I've broken through to the Bronze level, I'm naturally ready to exchange for and use it as soon as possible.

After this period of training in the Beast City, Fang Zhou has clearly realized the enormous assistance that the Haicheng Military Academy has provided to his cultivation.

For the vast majority of professionals outside the profession, the rare resource of attribute-enhancing elixirs is almost unattainable and something they can only dream of in their lifetime.

Even for most of the financially strapped cadets at Haicheng Military Academy, due to the limitation of their personal contribution points, they can only live within their means and carefully select the secret medicine that best suits their career path.

But the situation on the Ark was different.

He works so hard all the time, isn't it so that he can enjoy himself at this moment?

While the other trainees were still hesitating over a single bottle of the secret medicine, Fangzhou had already decided without hesitation to take all four kinds of secret medicines for himself.

These secret medicines are quite expensive, each bottle priced at 5,000 contribution points, which is ten times more expensive than black iron-level secret medicines.

The four bottles of secret medicine require a total of 20,000 contribution points. Even with the Ark's 30% discount, it still requires 6,000 contribution points.

This is a huge expense, but for the ambitious Ark, this investment is undoubtedly worthwhile.

Besides the direct attribute boost from the secret medicine, the Ark, having advanced to the Bronze level, also faces the need for equipment upgrades.

As the intangible magic power evolves and transforms into gaseous magic power, its ability to support equipment naturally increases significantly.

He can replace all the white, common-quality Ember Mage sets with the green, excellent-quality [Sea City Radiance] set.

Mage Set.

This is excellent equipment prepared by Haicheng Military Academy for outstanding graduates of the Bronze level, and it can be considered the best equipment that the logistics department of Haicheng Military Academy can provide.

With the addition of the Twilight Robe and the Soul Destroyer Orb, which were already of excellent green quality, all eight pieces of his equipment were now replaced with excellent green quality equipment.

In addition to the simple equipment bonuses, he also enjoyed the set effects of the Sea City Radiance set, which slightly increased his spirit attribute, enhanced spell effects, and reduced mana consumption.

These changes have clearly enhanced the overall combat effectiveness of the Ark, making it more adept at maneuvering on the battlefield.

However, Fangzhou also realized that as he entered the Bronze level, some of the artifacts he had relied on in the Iron level could no longer be effective due to level restrictions.

White-grade, common-quality rare items such as the Whip of Pain, the Charged Scroll, the Bone Armor Amulet, and the Ring of Impact perform remarkably well against enemies of the Black Iron rank.

However, when facing bronze-level opponents, their effect is negligible and can be almost ignored.

Common artifacts such as the Sighing Flower, the Dance of the Flower Fairy, and the Mirror of the Heart are no longer sufficient for Ark's current cultivation and can hardly provide any substantial assistance.

Of course, not all artifacts are rendered useless.

Heroic Spirit Banner, Berserker's Mark, Miniature Space Storage Capsule, Haicheng Military Academy No. 1 Seed Medal, Dragon Summer Blade Medal

Items like the Moon Orchid Incense and the Guardian Bell, due to their high quality, can still provide necessary support for the Ark for a considerable period of time.

Of course, if Ark can successfully upgrade his junior alchemist and junior blacksmith sub-professions to intermediate level, and has enough alchemy and forging resources.

Perhaps, under Instructor Su Xinyan's guidance, we can try to upgrade these ordinary white items to excellent green quality, thereby extending their lifespan.

In terms of expertise, Fangzhou previously won the championship in the recruit skills competition and received a professional expertise empowerment reward from the Dragonxia Federation Military Department.

On the advice of several instructors, especially Su Xinyan, Fangzhou chose the "Mana Conductor" feat, a common skill for magic users, which greatly increased his mana regeneration speed.

After advancing to Dark Iron, he chose the [Powerful Undead Summoning] feat, a special ability exclusive to necromancers.

Now that he has successfully condensed a gaseous mana core and advanced to the Bronze rank, Ark can begin learning his third professional specialty.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes. Although there was no external support, his attribute panel and accumulated soul power might provide some minor assistance in learning new specializations.

Fangzhou gently swiped the screen of his personal terminal and entered the resource library page of Haicheng Military Academy.

As a second lieutenant, he enjoys D-level privileges, which means that he has access to more advanced resources on top of his bronze-level strength.

The Logistics Department's resource management rules clearly state that a Bronze-level professional like him has the right to exchange for a professional skill here once.

Therefore, Ark no longer needs to consult Instructor Su Xinyan or Master Sandru.

In previous discussions, these two Gold-rank necromancers had explicitly advised him to choose [Avatar of Wisdom] as his feat during the Bronze rank.

Fang Zhou's gaze swept quickly across the lines of text as he carefully reviewed the list of legal professionals' specialties at Haicheng Military Academy.

Although necromancers don't have many class feats, there are dozens of general feats for spellcasters.

Of these specializations, [Avatar of Wisdom] is undoubtedly the one that best suits his needs.

It can significantly enhance his various magical abilities, giving him a greater advantage in battle.

Different professional skills require different amounts of contribution points to redeem.

Fangzhou noticed that since this was his third time learning a professional skill, the [Avatar of Wisdom] skill in the military academy resource library required 10000 contribution points, which was almost the common price for silver-level skills.

This is not surprising.

Fortunately, for Ark, the 10000 contribution points for the [Avatar of Wisdom] are not an unbearable burden.

As a key trainee at Haicheng Military Academy, he enjoys a 30% discount and only needs to pay 3000 contribution points to exchange for learning materials for this specialty.

This is a very good deal for him.

Fangzhou's gaze fell on his attribute panel, his heart filled with anticipation.

He has just successfully solidified his innate skill [Death's Blessing] during his breakthrough to Bronze, which has greatly enhanced the effectiveness of his defensive shield skills.

And now, if we add the boost from the [Avatar of Wisdom] feat, an essential universal feat for the mage class, even Ark itself would find it difficult to...

Just imagine how amazing the power and effects of the various spells and skills he unleashes will be.

Of course, mastering a professional skill is very difficult for any professional; it requires persistent effort and cannot be achieved overnight.

Even with Ark's natural talent, it would take some time and effort to fully master the [Avatar of Wisdom] specialization.

After all, his mana core already bears the powerful feats of [Mana Conductor] and [Very Effective Undead Summoning].

However, cheaters are an exception.

The Ark has a stat panel and provides some assistance with Soul Power, which might shorten this process.

Fangzhou hasn't received the learning materials for his professional expertise yet, so he's not entirely confident about it.

He then looked up at his side jobs as an alchemist and blacksmith.

Since he started taking on these two secondary professions, many instructors have intentionally or unintentionally reminded him to focus his main energy on leveling up his primary profession, the necromancer, and not to spend too much energy on the secondary professions, so as not to affect his growth.

Fangzhou naturally followed the instructors' advice.

In any case, during his apprentice and black iron stages, he successfully worked part-time as a novice alchemist and blacksmith by expending a certain amount of soul power.

It became a secondary profession, and it did indeed produce an immediate increase in combat power.

Now that his main profession has successfully advanced to Bronze, Ark believes it's time to consider further upgrading his secondary profession.

He plans to learn advanced knowledge of intermediate alchemy and blacksmithing from military academy instructors in order to upgrade his secondary profession level by one level.

This will not only provide him with more auxiliary resources, but also bring more convenience to his future research and practice.

Additionally, depending on the needs, Ark can also try taking on a third secondary profession.

He had quite a few options, including the scroll maker sub-profession he could exchange for from the Adventurers' Guild in Beast City, the array master sub-profession he could learn from Instructor Chu Chengxiu, and the alchemist sub-profession he could learn on his own using the materials left behind by Gu Yueyuan.

These three side jobs each have their own unique characteristics and appeal.

Scroll master, array master, apothecary.

Which one should I choose as a part-time job next?

In the end, Fang Zhou simply shook his head slightly, noted the question in his memo, and decided to leave it for a later discussion with Instructor Su Xinyan before making a decision.

Choosing a side hustle not only relates to personal interests, but also to future career path and development potential; therefore, it requires careful consideration.

You should consider this carefully.

As for the World Rune, Heart Steel has been successfully upgraded to the second stage thanks to the rune seed split off by Major General Ning Danxin.

The Night Watchmen, blessed by the will of the Blue Star, successfully kept their promise.

As for how to upgrade and strengthen the [Gallows], Ark is already working hard to explore it, so there's no rush.

The next major focus for Arknights is the development and enhancement of its skills.

Especially in terms of the general skills of bronze-level mage, there are many new skills that Ark needs to learn.

[Friend of Life], [Summon Mage Mount], [Language Proficiency], [Powerful Calmness], and other essential general skills for every mage also have corresponding advanced versions.

As for other Bronze-level mage skills such as [Enhanced Mana Armor], [High Mage's Hand], and [Missile Storm], although they are not essential, they are still very important for Ark.

He will then need to accumulate a lot of Bronze-level mage skill materials to advance the Iron-level necromancer skill tree to the Bronze level.

During the Apprentice and Iron stages, the main combat mode of Ark is to summon a large number of undead creatures to form an undead army.

Meanwhile, under the protection of the undead legion, he used skeletal and corrosive skills to act as a magical turret.

This tactic was not only effective, but it also achieved remarkable results in many battles.

During the Bronze Age, Ark did not intend to change this combat mode.

Therefore, summoning skills for necromancers remain the top priority for learning in Arknights.

According to the deductions of the necromancer predecessors, the main bronze-level summoning skills are [Summon Advanced Zombie] and [Summon Ghost].

With the support of the talent skill [Summon Undead Creatures] and the class feat [Powerful Summon Undead], the upcoming advanced zombies and ghosts will become an important part of the Ark's combat power.

Furthermore, through research on skeletal clones, the bronze-level [Skeleton Warrior], [Skeleton Archer], [Skeleton Knight], and [Corrupted Abomination] are all powerful additions to the undead army.
