Chapter 5 The Ark's First Time
As the skeleton clone grows, the Ark's main body is also affected, becoming stronger over time.
His eyes lit up slightly at the thought of this possibility.
"Looks like I'll have to become a time management master from now on; I can't neglect either my main body or my clones!"
He examined the attribute panel more closely. The three attributes—Strength, Agility, and Constitution—were calculated based on the growth value of the skeleton clone, at a ratio of one-tenth.
As for the mental attribute, it actually increased by 0.01.
Could it be the effect of the [Skull Meditation Technique]? But the main body was just resting with its eyes closed, and did not specifically practice meditation.
Fang Zhou's mind raced, and he quickly came up with a possibility.
Perhaps because of the skeleton clone, he was in a state of passive meditation.
If that's the case, then the speed at which Ark's mental attributes grow will exceed everyone's imagination!
Due to the limited capacity of the soul, professionals have a limited amount of time for meditation each day.
Newly awakened apprentice-level professionals can only meditate for one hour continuously each day without any assistance.
However, Ark can remain in a meditative state, which means an immense growth advantage!
Fangzhou kept this guess in mind and began to study the changes in the skill bar.
He focused his attention on the "+" sign following the deducible skill.
"The clone skill has been detected to have reached the [Instinct] proficiency level. It can be used as skill material to deduce unknown skills for the main body. It is estimated that it will consume 10 points of soul power."
"Shall we begin the simulation?"
Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback. In addition to the distinction between apprentice, iron, and bronze ranks, the strength of a professional's skills also varies in terms of proficiency.
The levels of proficiency, from lowest to highest, are: Beginner, Master, Proficient, Expert, Perfect, and Instinct.
[Skeleton Armament] is a skeleton's innate skill, so its proficiency is directly at the highest level, [Instinct].
"Begin the simulation!" Fang Zhou decisively gave the order.
It was like a pillow being delivered just when he was sleepy. He was worried that his main body didn't have any useful skills, but unexpectedly, a pleasant surprise came his way.
With its soul power reduced to zero, the Ark instantly entered brainstorming mode.
He kept replaying in his mind the process of his skeleton clone using [Bone Armament] to forge the spear, and a series of wonderful ideas burst forth from it.
The skeleton armor is essentially a way of utilizing necromancy.
In theory, necromancers can also simulate [skeleton armor] using necromancy.
The skeleton clone forges a skeletal spear, while the main body can also condense necromantic power into the form of a spear.
A flash of inspiration struck Fangzhou.
"Skill [Bone Spear] successfully activated!"
【Bone Spear】(Apprentice Level, Proficient): Condenses bone spears and throws them at the enemy, dealing both armor-piercing physical damage and death energy damage. The number, power, and range are determined by the spirit attribute and skill proficiency.
A new skill has been mastered, and it even comes with a [Proficiency] level of proficiency!
A smile appeared on Fang Zhou's handsome face.
Both are apprentice-level skills, so what are [Death Missile] and [Weakening Ray] compared to my double-damage [Bone Spear]?!
Of course, more important than the new apprentice-level skill [Bone Spear] is that Ark has successfully developed the prototype of the necromancer skill tree based on the skeleton system.
Since necromancy can condense into the form of skeletal spears, it means it can also condense into various forms such as shields, armor, and prisons.
With enough soul power, Ark can deduce all kinds of bone-based skills such as [Bone Shield], [Bone Giant Claw], and [Bone Prison].
From now on, all necromancers will have to call him "Bone Master"!
That means so many contribution points!
Fangzhou envisioned a bright future, but finally succumbed to the exhaustion of his soul and fell into a deep sleep.
.......
Meanwhile, at Haicheng Military Academy, in the conference room.
The instructors of each freshman company are reporting to Principal Su Tiankuo on the freshmen's awakening progress today.
"Of the 10,000 new students in the school, 9103 successfully awakened, and 897 failed to awaken, resulting in an awakening success rate of approximately 91%."
「其中战职者6370人，法职者1820人，辅职者913人，比例约为7：2:1。」
"There are a total of 85 rare professions, namely [Earth Knight] Zhao Yuan, [Chanting String] Bai Xiaochun, [Storm Mage] Gu Zhiqi, [Demon Hunter] Ye Fan..."
"There are 100 spots available for the military academy's 'seed' training program. In addition to the 85 individuals with rare professions mentioned above, 15 more individuals have been recommended for the potential candidate list based on their awakened profession and personal qualities. They are..."
After the long list was read aloud, the office fell silent.
The so-called rare professions, also known as high-potential professions, are classified after statistical analysis of the professions of all high-level human powerhouses.
High potential means a greater probability of entering higher ranks, and combat power is often stronger than that of ordinary professions.
The "seed" training quota, as the name suggests, is the first echelon that military academies prioritize for training, and they will receive greater resource allocation.
"Hmm, not bad." Su Tiankuo nodded slightly. His face was resolute, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, as if they could see through everything.
"We need to provide psychological support to the freshmen who failed to awaken and help them arrange transfers with other regular universities. These kids are all talented individuals in the Federation; they just had some bad luck."
"Yes!" The instructors nodded in unison.
Principal Su arranged several teaching tasks for the upcoming period, then asked, "Is there anything else?"
Instructor Lu Hu hesitated for a moment, but then he remembered Fang Zhou's disappointed expression after he awakened the necromancer class during the day, and couldn't help but step forward to report: "Reporting to the principal, there is another freshman in the first company, Fang Zhou, who has awakened the necromancer class."
I would like to recommend him for the seeding shortlist.
Su Tiankuo glanced at him and said calmly, "The necromancer profession does indeed have great potential, but practice has proven that its potential is difficult to realize."
Military academies have limited resources, so I have reservations about this.
Lu Hu said urgently, "But Major Xin Yan is also a necromancer, and her combat power is no less than that of other necromancers!"
A smile appeared on Su Tiankuo's stern face: "With my former legendary father's full support, Su Xinyan is barely presentable."
What resources does this ark you're talking about have?
Lu Hu was speechless, and the other instructors also remained silent.
Everyone knows that Principal Su is straightforward and outspoken, but the sarcastic and unpredictable nature of [Legendary Wang Mian] is not something that ordinary people can tolerate.
"Instructor Lu, I know that you and Fangzhou's parents were once comrades-in-arms, and they were indeed federal heroes."
However, the list of "seeds" for cultivation is of great importance, and it brings not only resources, but also responsibilities and obligations.
If you lack the ability and virtue to match your position, the consequences will be dire, so it's best if you don't act out of self-interest.
Su Tiankuo stood up, his sharp gaze fixed on Lu Hu: "However, although I don't have a high opinion of necromancers, the orphans of martyrs deserve our care."
I'll make you a promise: if Ark achieves the same results as those rare professionals in the upcoming [Simulated Battlefield], I'll add him to the list.
Alright, meeting adjourned!
