Chapter 383 Gu Master VS Undead God of Magic!
On the arena, Fangzhou and Guyueyuan stood facing each other, a hundred meters apart.
Fang Zhou exuded an incomparably powerful magical energy, and the aura of that power made everyone present take notice.
Gu Yueyuan's brows furrowed as he felt immense pressure emanating from the Ark.
"Your mana fluctuations are probably not far from reaching the mid-level Black Iron rank, are they?"
Gu Yueyuan's voice carried a hint of surprise, his face turned ashen, and his eyes seemed to be brimming with lightning.
This wasn't because Gu Yueyuan was dissatisfied with Fangzhou's progress, but because he saw the gap between himself and Fangzhou in Fangzhou's progress.
This disparity made him very dissatisfied with his cultivation progress.
He has broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the Black Iron rank for nearly half a year, and has experienced many bloody battles in actual combat missions such as the Natural Forest Space Fragment.
Nevertheless, his magical power fluctuations were still considerably inferior to Ark's, who had only advanced to the Black Iron realm two months prior.
This left the usually proud Gu Yueyuan with mixed feelings, but it also fueled his fighting spirit.
Fangzhou was now fully focused and on high alert, having activated the [Soul Eagle Eye] skill.
The reason is simple: Fangzhou had previously learned from Liu Diewu about how troublesome Guyueyuan was as a Hive Walker.
The Gu worms are incredibly detailed, and their size can change at will.
The large Gu worms are comparable to siege beasts, capable of destroying city walls and crushing enemy troops;
The smaller Gu worms are even smaller than mosquitoes and flies, almost invisible to the naked eye. They can sneak into the enemy's body unnoticed and cause fatal damage.
However, Fang Zhou also has a skill specifically designed to counter these tiny insects: [Soul Eagle Eye].
Although Gu worms are special creatures, they are still living beings with soul fluctuations.
Through the [Soul Eagle Eye] skill, Ark can detect the presence of any soul fluctuations; no matter how tiny the Gu worm, it cannot escape his perception.
He carefully observed every corner of the ring to make sure there were no hidden threats.
Fortunately, Gu Yueyuan was relatively ethical in the arena and did not secretly release Gu worms to ambush Fangzhou as he had imagined.
This gave Ark a chance to confront them head-on.
Fang Zhou then looked up at Gu Yueyuan and used the [Soul Eagle Eye] skill to observe his potential weaknesses.
If calculated according to the Ark attribute panel, Gu Yueyuan's spirit attribute is currently around 40 points.
This is a remarkable achievement for a second-year student who has just broken through the bottleneck and advanced to Iron level less than half a year ago.
According to Instructor Su Xinyan's standards, when breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the Black Iron level, the mental attribute usually doubles from 10 points to 20 points.
Taking another bottle of Black Iron-grade Spirit Elixir will raise your Spirit attribute to 30 points.
After six months of arduous meditation practice, one can reach a level of approximately 40 points.
This also shows that Gu Yueyuan's talent in the Insect Hive Walker class is by no means inferior to Instructor Su Xinyan's talent in the Necromancer class.
It may not take more than half a year for Gu Yueyuan to raise his mental attribute to 50 points, thereby breaking through to the middle level of Black Iron and becoming an even more terrifying existence.
In contrast, Ark, in addition to its own efforts, also received attribute boosts from its skeletal clones.
Every growth of the skeletal clone in actual combat is fed back to the main body of the Ark, further enhancing its strength.
It is estimated that it will take less than two months for Fangzhou to break through to the mid-tier of Iron, further widening the gap with his peers.
As mentioned before, with Ark's incredible talent, coupled with the help of his attribute panel and corpse clones, anyone surpassed by Ark can only eat his exhaust fumes.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fang Zhou gestured for Gu Yueyuan to make the first move.
Gu Yueyuan twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Fang Zhou, I know that since you are confident in challenging me, you must be very sure of yourself."
But I am not weak either.
My profession as a Necromancer is quite unique; at each rank, I can choose one Gu worm as my natal Gu.
Its own energy attributes also change according to the attributes of its innate Gu.
I recently obtained a very rare and powerful nature-type Gu worm in the Forest of Nature.
Therefore, my current energy attribute is the natural attribute.
Life and death, the cycle continues endlessly.
My natural attribute is very effective against your death attribute.
You mustn't be careless.
After Gu Yueyuan finished speaking, he entered battle mode, and his originally gentle expression turned serious.
His eyes were filled with an extremely cold and ruthless killing intent, making him seem like a completely different person from usual.
He exuded magical energy of the lower-level Black Iron rank, but it was far more vast and powerful than that of ordinary people.
This black iron magic filled his invisible energy core completely, demonstrating his profound skill.
The energy generated in a professional's energy core, in turn, nourishes the energy core itself.
In fact, as long as energy exists in the energy core, it has a nourishing effect on the professional's physical body.
However, this effect is not obvious and is far less significant than the boost that comes from professionals actively expending energy.
Just as calm seawater still erodes the surrounding reefs, this long-term, slow process is far less noticeable than the violent crashing of waves against the reefs.
As the momentum of the Ancient Moon Source surged, the Ark was not to be outdone, and its necromantic power gradually began to boil.
.
In Gu Yueyuan's view, although Ark had been promoted to the lower level of Black Iron, it hadn't been long.
Despite the training provided by the necromancer research group, resources are ultimately limited and cannot be concentrated on one person.
Therefore, although the Ark's mana fluctuations are very powerful, its skill combinations are certainly not yet perfect.
"Summon the Mountain-Piercing Insects!"
Gu Yueyuan shouted, and following his command, a small Gu worm rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive Paishan worm that pounced forward.
With a flick of his left arm, the surging death energy instantly condensed into dozens of skeleton warriors, who lined up neatly in front of him, forming a solid barrier.
Clang.
The mountain-pushing insects summoned by Gu Yueyuan collided with the array of skeletons in front of the Ark, producing a clanging sound like metal clashing.
Despite the powerful impact of the mountain-pushing worms, they were unable to advance for a time due to the obstruction of the skeleton warriors.
A look of surprise appeared on Gu Yueyuan's face. He took a step back, put his hands together in palms, and summoned another Gu worm that flew out diagonally.
"Crescent moon worm!"
A Gu worm, shaped like a crescent moon and over a meter long, was entirely golden in color and exuded a domineering aura. It shot out instantly at a speed that was difficult to catch.
Golden moonlight shone on Fang Zhou's face. He smiled coldly, raised the necromancer orb in his right hand, and gently shook it to cast a spell.
Clang!
A skeletal spear, capable of piercing the heart, flew out and collided with the crescent-shaped worm.
The moment the two collided, the golden moon vanished, and the bone spear shattered into tiny fragments.
"Is this how battles are fought between lower-ranked Black Iron professionals?"
"Truly powerful! I couldn't withstand either the bone spear or that golden crescent worm!"
In the distance, a group of second-year seed students who had risen through the ranks watched in awe, only partially understanding, and sighed with admiration.
"How is this possible? The skeleton warrior, which has the worst racial combat power, is actually able to block my Mountain-Piercing Worm?"
Gu Yueyuan looked at the Mountain-Piercing Worm being suppressed by a group of skeleton warriors in front of him, his expression becoming even more grave, and he seemed somewhat incredulous.
The Hivewalker class provides a buff to all types of Zerg.
Furthermore, this increase becomes more pronounced as the professional's skill level improves.
The Mountain-Piercing Worm is a massive, incredibly powerful insect-like monster.
Gu Yueyuan originally had high hopes for it, hoping to throw the Ark into disarray.
Unexpectedly, Fangzhou simply summoned a small group of ordinary skeleton warriors, which blocked the mountain-pushing worms that he had carefully cultivated for a long time.
Seeing that the Paishan insects were at a disadvantage and at risk of being surrounded and dismembered, Gu Yueyuan gritted his teeth and summoned a group of medium-sized spider-like Gu insects, each about half a meter long.
Following Gu Yueyuan's command, the spiders rushed toward the ark.
Fang Zhou smiled slightly, held out the necromancer orb in his hand, and began to cast spells frantically.
whoosh whoosh whoosh————
A shockwave of bones suddenly formed!
The wind howled like a tornado, and a grayish-white death energy surged and spread, freezing people's limbs stiff.
"Get out of the way!"
Even Gu Yueyuan, upon seeing this scene, dared not confront its sharp edge and quickly retreated.
But he retreated in time, while the swarm of spiders he summoned did not have time to dodge.
The shockwave from the skeletal remains swept in, moving at a speed more than three times faster than before.
Squeak!
The spiders were unfortunately caught in it, and their screams came to an abrupt halt.
They were instantly cleaved into countless pieces by the shockwave of the skeletons, dying on the spot.
Only one larger spider leader, fiercely protected by the swarm, was still clinging to life.
"Azure Dragon Centipede!"
A green light emanated from Gu Yueyuan's palm, and a huge, jade-like centipede phantom flashed above his head.
Then, as if possessed by a deity, green vines emerged from his palm, their tendrils coiling around the spider leader's limbs like snakes.
Just as he was about to pull the spider leader back, another bone-piercing spear came whistling through the spider leader's abdomen, and a ghastly green liquid flowed out.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Ark slightly deflected the Bone Piercing Spear, avoiding the spider leader's vital points.
Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
Under the energy burst of the Bone Piercing Spear, the spider leader was instantly severely injured, but still had a breath left and was not dead.
Gu Yueyuan naturally understood that this was the result of Fang Zhou showing mercy.
He nodded slightly at the ark and waved his hand to summon the spider leader back.
In the ensuing battle, the wounded spider leader was clearly no longer of any use.
However, as a hive walker, Gu Yueyuan naturally has no shortage of these cannon fodder-type Gu worms.
He summoned various Gu worms in succession, each with its own unique attributes and attack methods.
"Jade Mantis!" "Mangosteen Dragonfly!" "Earth Scorpion!" "Vampire Leech!" ————
Nearly ten different types and attributes of Gu worms surged toward the ark, blotting out the sky.
This is Gu Yueyuan's most formidable and invincible swarm tactic!
This move is naturally irresistible to other professionals, who can only avoid its edge.
However, Fangzhou was not afraid at all.
You have your swarm of Zerg, I have my undead Scourge!
He remained motionless, but the fluctuations of his magical power suddenly intensified.
Then, hundreds of gray vortexes appeared out of thin air in front of the ark. An army of Black Iron-level undead creatures, mainly skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and zombies, surged out of the gray vortexes and met the ferocious army of Gu worms head-on.
Even in the sky, more than two dozen skeletal bats flapped their bone wings, engaging in a fierce battle with flying Gu insects.
With the help of his innate skills and summoning feats, Ark can easily summon such a massive number of undead creatures and still retain a considerable amount of mana to squander.
Fang Zhou didn't stop casting spells. He unleashed a series of enhancement skills in succession.
Black Iron-level enhancement skills such as Undead Coronation, Brutal Aura, Iron Wall Aura, and Undead Resurrection were also unleashed.
These skills made the Ark's undead army increasingly powerful and invincible.
The skeleton warrior brandished his bone sword and clashed head-on with the jade mantis.
Although the Jade Mantis was fast, its attacks were blocked one by one in front of the dense line of Skeleton Warriors.
The skeleton warriors advanced cautiously and steadily, gradually forcing the Jade Mantis to retreat.
Whenever the Jade Mantis tries to bypass the Skeleton Warrior's defenses, it is always intercepted again by the Skeleton Warrior who quickly returns to defend.
On the other side, the zombies were entangled with the mangosteen dragonflies.
The mangosteen dragonfly attempted to use its sharp wings to cut through the zombie's body, but the zombie's thick skin and the added protection of its Iron Wall Aura allowed it to withstand most of the attacks.
The zombies seized the opportunity, grabbing the mangosteen dragonflies with their thick arms and tearing them apart.
As the battle continued, the once surging and aggressive Zerg army began to show obvious signs of weakness.
With the enhancement of various skills, the undead army of the Ark has greatly increased its combat power and gradually gained the upper hand.
Seeing this, Gu Yueyuan frowned, but he knew that the battle had become extremely difficult.
"Ark—" Gu Yueyuan sighed deeply, staring at the Ark with some admiration. "Since I met you, you have been getting stronger at a speed I never imagined."
Now I have to admit that you have surpassed me.
But your strength cannot make me surrender.
Let's fight!
"Then let's see who has the best skills." Fang Zhou chuckled and turned to look at Liu Diewu, Sylvanas, and the others in the distance.
"Everyone's paying attention to us!"
Gu Yueyuan's expression remained unchanged. He took a big step forward, giving the most direct answer with his actions.
He slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them.
"Azure Dragon Centipede!"
Under the power of this lower-level black iron natal Gu worm, Gu Yueyuan's eyes turned emerald green.
At that moment, his aura suddenly changed, transforming from a lively, human presence into a deep, tranquil, and natural aura.
