Chapter 338 Luxurious Configuration, the Undead Dragon Pet is About to Emerge!
After all, confronting enemies far beyond one's own strength head-on is like dancing on the edge of a knife; a slight misstep could lead to certain death.
Ark prefers a steady and methodical approach, continuously enhancing its strength through self-improvement.
When he can easily control the situation, he will calmly face powerful enemies and use his strength to bully the weak. This is the true path to invincibility in his mind.
After confirming the news of the anomaly in the Forest of Nature with the three instructors again, Ark decided on his next career specialization.
That was the [Magic Conductor] that Instructor Shen Hongyu strongly recommended.
Just as Instructor Shen Hongyu said, at this stage, if he doesn't need to face urgent and intense battles, then there's no need to rush to learn the powerful Undead Summoning feat or the Avatar of Wisdom feat. Choosing Mana Conductor, and combining it with Transcendent affixes, Calm Mind, Slime Candles, and Mental Restoration Potions to restore mental energy, will greatly improve the efficiency of Ark's skill training.
In the short term, such a combination can also significantly enhance his sustained combat effectiveness.
In the long run, once Ark breaks through the bottleneck and advances to the Black Iron level, his current apprentice-level skill proficiency can be transformed into skill materials and knowledge base for him to deduce Black Iron level skills.
After making up his mind, Fangzhou shared his thoughts with the three female instructors.
They unanimously expressed their support.
However, at this moment, Instructor Huang Qiuyue sighed with some envy and said, "To be honest, I'm a little envious of you, Fang Zhou."
You students of this generation are so lucky; you've really caught up with a great time.
Whether it's the resources needed for cultivation, or all sorts of skills and secret techniques, including advanced tools and technologies to assist cultivation, they all sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
It's no exaggeration to say that it changes every day.
Portable meditation array, simulated battlefield system, soul rival awakening ritual —
These things, which could only be considered science fiction in the past, have now become part of your daily training.
Not to mention the professional expertise initiation techniques you will be receiving next.
These are high-tech methods that we wouldn't have dared to even imagine when we were young.
This also indicates that the growth rate of you new generation professionals will far surpass that of us older generation.
Upon hearing what Instructor Huang Qiuyue said, Instructor Shen Hongyu nodded repeatedly.
She couldn't help but take over the conversation, her tone tinged with emotion: "That's true."
Take the learning conditions for a professional specialty as an example. According to the most traditional cultivation experience, under normal circumstances, only when a professional breaks through to the Black Iron stage and condenses an invisible energy core are they qualified to try targeted practice and gradually master their professional specialty.
Moreover, mastering each professional skill will place a certain burden on the energy core.
This means that once you've mastered one skill, learning another will be exponentially more difficult and require significantly more training.
Instructor Shen Hongyu's gaze seemed to travel through time, returning to her youthful days of cultivation.
"For us Silver-rank professionals with relatively mediocre talent, mastering two professional specializations is already extremely difficult."
To master a third professional skill at the Silver rank is practically a pipe dream.
Not to mention, back in our time, there was absolutely no opportunity to get in touch with and learn professional skills during the apprenticeship stage.
It was only recently that the Longxia Federal Military Academy of Sciences achieved a major breakthrough.
They successfully developed a technique called "professional expertise infusion".
This technology can directly imprint relevant professional expertise into the minds of apprentice-level professionals, essentially giving them the ability to master advanced skills in advance.
This provides you exceptionally talented students with yet another effective way to enhance your combat capabilities.
Instructor Shen Hongyu turned her gaze to the ark, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Of course, this technique requires extremely high talent from the recipient, and each implementation also consumes a large amount of resources."
However, the results it brings are also obvious.
You can begin to learn and master professional skills that were originally only for higher levels during your apprenticeship.
This will undoubtedly be a huge boost to your future growth.
Su Xinyan, who was always proud and arrogant, nodded silently after hearing what the other two instructors said.
Clearly, she deeply agreed with Huang Qiuyue and Shen Hongyu's remarks.
She turned to look at Fang Zhou, her gaze filled with a rare tenderness and envy, and her tone was tinged with emotion.
"I barely mastered the third professional skill when I was in the Silver rank."
Even though I've been at the lower gold rank for several months now, mastering the fourth professional specialty is still a long way off, and the hope is slim.
In contrast, your situation is completely different, Ark.
This time, you can master your first professional skill during your apprenticeship through the initiation technique of the Dragonxia Federal Military.
Given your talent in the necromancer class and your affinity for undead attributes and energy, I believe that mastering a profession specialty at each stage will not be difficult for you.
This means that when you advance to the Gold tier of a professional, you will have mastered at least five professional specializations.
"You may not have personally experienced the value and power of a professional skill yet, and you may not be able to fully understand how amazing a professional skill can be in enhancing a professional's combat power."
It's important to understand that professional expertise is more than just a skill.
These often represent a unique fighting style and strategy, and are key to victory for professionals on the battlefield.
"Just imagine it."
When comparing a Gold-rank mage who has mastered five professional specializations to a Gold-rank mage who has only mastered three professional specializations, the former is at least 50% stronger than the latter.
This is still a very conservative estimate, assuming all other conditions are the same.
Instructor Huang Qiuyue said leisurely, "I wonder how exaggerated your combat power will become when you, Fang Zhou, grow into a Gold-rank Necromancer?"
For a moment, the conference room was filled with silence.
The three female instructors fell silent, their eyes filled with envy and anticipation.
Fangzhou was also stirred by the grand vision described by the three female instructors.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be a graduate of Haicheng Military Academy."
I won't let the military academy instructors down.
Coming to his senses, Fang Zhou continued discussing with Instructor Su Xinyan what kind of resources they should select from the resource pools of the ten military academies.
Although Instructors Shen Hongyu and Huang Qiuyue are experienced in this regard, they do not have much knowledge of the specific training needs of the Ark and therefore cannot offer many constructive suggestions.
However, Instructor Su Xinyan has a lot to say about this.
After a moment of contemplation, she asked, "Fang Zhou, what resources do you still need for your cultivation?"
Fangzhou shook his head and replied, "What I needed most was a rare and precious material like Ghost Amber, which has necromancy attributes, but I'm almost there now."
As for other cultivation resources, whether they are for mental recovery or soul soothing, I don't have any urgent need for them.
He went on to explain, "Right now, I have plenty of resources for soul-soothing."
I have Moon Orchid Incense, Sighing Flower, Soul Soothing Potion, Mirror of the Heart, Moon Spring Water, and Bai Xiaochan's Lullaby skill.
These resources help me maintain inner peace during my spiritual practice and avoid problems arising from excessive pressure on my soul.
"As for restoring mental strength, I already have several methods."
Mental Energy Restoration Potion, Calm Mind Skill, Transcendence Enchantment Affix, Slime Candle, Bai Xiaochan's Triumphant Song Skill.
Next, we'll be learning the Mana Conductor profession specialization.
These resources and skills combined have created a truly impressive configuration.
Such a configuration is unattainable for any apprentice-level professional.
Even Iron-level professionals would find it difficult to enjoy such comprehensive and efficient resources.
Different resource activation principles can sometimes be mutually exclusive and cannot be used simultaneously.
However, the resources that Ark carefully selected did not interfere with each other, making it an extremely perfect combination.
Before he breaks through the bottleneck and advances to the Iron level, he doesn't need to worry about such resources for the time being.
After hearing Fang Zhou's analysis, Instructor Su Xinyan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since you don't have any special needs for cultivation resources, I suggest you choose some resources for hatching the black gem dragon egg that Major General Ning Danxin gave you."
Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to hatch this Black Gem Dragon Egg into an Undead type?
Our Haicheng Military Academy does not have relevant incubation resources in this area.
You can search the logistics resource databases of the other nine military academies.
For example, Longcheng Military Academy, the former No. 1 Military Academy that won the new recruit skills competition for five consecutive years, must have a lot of rare resources in its logistics resource pool.
Perhaps some of them contain resources with undead attributes.
The Tiancheng Military Academy is renowned for its summoning professionals and has collected a great deal of materials for hatching various spirit pets, which might be of some help to you.
You only have 500 contribution points to redeem, so you'll need to be careful and plan ahead.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Instructor Xin Yan, what you said makes a lot of sense."
The incubation material is crucial for Black Gem Dragon Eggs, as it determines the egg's inherent qualities.
"It's rare to have such a channel available, and it's perfect for using on the Black Gem Dragon Egg."
Instructors Huang Qiuyue and Shen Hongyu had vaguely heard that Major General Ning Danxin had given Fangzhou an extremely rare and powerful black gem dragon egg during their last meeting.
Now that this has been confirmed in Fangzhou and Su Xinyan's conversation, they naturally feel even more envious of Fangzhou.
An apprentice-level professional actually possesses a black gem dragon egg that, once it reaches adulthood, will be able to reach the Glory Champion level.
If this news gets out, it will probably cause a sensation among everyone.
Fortunately, after decades of chaos, the Human Alliance, especially the Dragon Summer Federation, successfully suppressed most of the unrest in society and maintained a strong sense of cohesion and unity.
Furthermore, with the endorsement of Haicheng Military Academy and Major General Ning Danxin, the safety of Fangzhou was effectively guaranteed.
If one were in a chaotic place where natural selection and the survival of the fittest prevail, many people would probably covet the Ark, which possesses such precious resources.
When Major General Ning Danxin was still a soldier, Fangzhou had discussed the energy attributes of the Black Gem Dragon Egg with him and Instructor Su Xinyan.
To hatch a Black Gem Dragon Egg into a Black Gem Hatchling of the Undead type, the current breeding method requires at least several rare materials such as Life Crystal, Star Sand, Dragon Bone Grass, Netherworld Flower, Soul-Soothing Dew, and Pure Life Flame.
The life crystal can solve this problem.
For the purpose of the professional skeleton regeneration project, Ark has obtained several pieces through various means, which should be enough to hatch the Black Gem Dragon.
Among Instructor Su Xinyan's collection is Stardust, a material that can be provided to the Ark.
The only things we're currently lacking are four undead attribute resources: Dragon Bone Grass, Netherworld Flower, Soul-Soothing Dew, and Pure Life Flame.
Having made up his mind, Fangzhou no longer hesitated.
He opened his personal terminal, entered the redemption code that Principal Su Tiankuo had given him, and used it as proof to log in with a temporary query privilege that had been granted to him.
With this access, Fangzhou was able to temporarily browse the logistics resource databases of the ten military academies of the Longxia Federation.
The Ark first searched for Dragon Bone Grass.
Just as Instructor Su Xinyan said, there were still a few copies in the resource database of Tiancheng Military Academy.
One serving of Dragon Bone Grass requires 150 contribution points.
Fangzhou was overjoyed and immediately added it to his exchange list.
Afterwards, Ark continued its search for the Netherworld Ephemeral Flower.
He discovered this resource in the resource repository of Longcheng Military Academy.
One Netherworld Flower is worth 150 contribution points.
At this point, two of the four undead attribute incubation materials required by the Ark have been easily found.
This made Fang Zhou feel extremely fortunate.
If he were to search for these materials on his own, it would take an unknown amount of time and effort to find these scarce resources.
By then, the Black Gem Dragon Egg will probably have already hatched, and it will be too late.
However, the subsequent search did not go so smoothly.
When the Ark continued searching for the third material, Soul-Soothing Dew, and the fourth material, Pure Life Flame, it found that neither of these materials could be found in the resource library.
He checked several times, but still couldn't find either of the two materials.
Left with no other option, Fangzhou opened the category filter interface, entered tags such as "spirit pet", "undead attribute", and "hatching materials" to start searching for related materials.
This time, however, some discoveries were made.
Although there is no single most suitable Soul-Soothing Dew, there is a material called Dragon Soul Crystal that can perfectly replace it.
