Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 36 Enlightenment of Gold, King and Apostle

It stood there, as if it were the emperor of skeletons, the embodiment of death.

Su Xinyan was filled with boundless inspiration; so this was the true imagery of a skull!

Then, her long black dress fluttered without wind, and her spiritual power, many times stronger than that of the Ark, emanated from her body, forming a huge invisible vortex.

Fang Zhou, who was very close to her, was caught off guard and was pushed several meters away.

With a bang.

Several instructors from the surrounding offices rushed in, including Lu Hu, who had abandoned the Ark earlier.

Their faces showed utter shock.

"Is Instructor Xinyan about to break through to the Gold rank?"

"She truly is a chosen one of heaven. I remember she only broke through to the Silver rank a few years ago, right?"

"This is too sudden, we are not prepared to protect the Dharma."

Lu Hu subconsciously looked at Fang Zhou, who looked bewildered. His man's intuition told him that Su Xinyan's sudden breakthrough must be related to Fang Zhou.

Soon, Principal Su Tiankuo also rushed to the office.

"Principal!" the instructors greeted.

Fang Zhou, who was standing to the side, also saluted, taking the opportunity to sized up the renowned and legendary principal.

Su Tiankuo was burly and had a stern face, like a giant bear ready to pounce at any moment.

He slightly raised his hand to help Su Xinyan control her surging mental energy, then frowned and asked, "What happened?"

The instructors all looked at Fang Zhou, who was the only one present and naturally knew what had happened.

Fang Zhou looked innocent and said truthfully, "Reporting to the principal, I have passed on my improved skull meditation method to Instructor Su and would like to ask her for guidance."

But unexpectedly, as she watched, she gained some insights, which led to her current state.

Upon hearing his words, the instructors' expressions turned somewhat strange, unsure of what to say.

Improving meditation techniques would be astonishing on others, but for Ark, which has already created a skeletal skill tree, it seems to be no big deal.

However, the meditation method you, a mere apprentice, improved was able to enlighten a senior mage of the Silver rank, enabling him to break through the insurmountable barrier of Gold rank in one fell swoop.

That's a bit too much!

Su Tiankuo's expression became even more stiff.

A month ago, he publicly declared in front of all the instructors that he did not have high hopes for Fangzhou.

Unexpectedly, his daughter has now broken through to the Gold level under the inspiration of the Ark.

Although it's a good thing, why does it feel a little awkward?

Seeing Su Tiankuo's somewhat distorted expression, Lu Hu coughed lightly and quickly smoothed things over, saying, "I think the main reason is that Major Xinyan is exceptionally talented; the improved meditation method from the Ark was just a catalyst."

The other instructors also came to their senses and echoed each other's sentiments.

They didn't want a genius like Fang Zhou to be targeted by the principal, who was known for his sarcastic and unpredictable nature, over something so trivial.

Upon seeing this, Su Tiankuo's expression gradually relaxed.

He said somewhat awkwardly, "Hehe, what do you mean by this?"

As the principal, I am overjoyed that the Haicheng Military Academy has produced such a genius as Fang Zhou.

"Do you think I, a legendary figure, would make things difficult for a mere apprentice?"

The instructors shook their heads hastily, but inwardly they were nodding wildly in agreement.

Everyone knows how petty and narrow-minded the president of Soochow University is.

While he certainly wouldn't really make things difficult for Fangzhou, he would definitely make sarcastic remarks and tease him from time to time.

Fang Zhou, who was standing to the side, was not stupid. He vaguely realized that Principal Su might have some issues with him, so he quickly said modestly, "Principal, fellow instructors, Instructor Su is the role model I should learn from."

Immediately afterward, recalling what Su Xinyan had said earlier, he exclaimed with admiration, "The principal is right. Instructor Su's silver hair is a manifestation of necromancy, which is enough to show how high her talent is."

Not to mention, Instructor Su only took a month and a few days to break through to the intermediate apprentice level. As a junior, I still benefited from the seniors' experience.

"Now that Instructor Su is so young and about to break through to become a Gold-level expert, I must learn a lot from him in the future."

After Fangzhou finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the office was a bit strange; it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

His heart skipped a beat. Had he said something wrong?

But these were Su Xinyan's exact words just now.

With a soft "pfft".

Lu Hu suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Silver hair? Hahaha! A month and a few days?"

"No, Principal, I can't hold back anymore."

Su Tiankuo's face flushed red as he glared at Lu Hu. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he vanished instantly, his movements suggesting a hasty retreat.

The other instructors also had expressions that suggested they wanted to laugh but dared not.

With a shy yet angry "Get out!", they dragged Lu Hu, who was almost laughing to tears, and fled from Su Xinyan's office as if they were escaping.

Fang Zhou turned his head with a puzzled look, looking at Su Xinyan, who had just successfully broken through to the Gold level and regained consciousness.

At this moment, her face was flushed, and even the area behind her ears felt hot.

Her original aloof and cold demeanor vanished, and she became much more vibrant.

Fang Zhou noticed with his sharp eyes that inside Instructor Xin Yan's high heels, her jade-white toes were rhythmically curling and twitching.

He understood something.

Su Xinyan's previous words may have been embellished to some extent.

To make matters worse, it seems she just inadvertently exposed her boast in front of everyone.

No wonder Lu Hu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Principal Su was even more embarrassed to stay there.

To avoid further escalating the awkward atmosphere, Fang Zhou pretended not to know and changed the subject, saying, "Congratulations, Instructor Su, on successfully breaking through to the Gold rank!"

Su Xinyan brushed a strand of silver hair behind her ear, not daring to look at Fang Zhou's face, and said calmly, "It's all thanks to your improved [Skeleton King Meditation Method]. Through it, I seemed to visualize a skeleton emperor, and at that moment, my connection with the Netherworld became much closer."

Therefore, I was able to enter a state of enlightenment and successfully break through the golden barrier.

Fang Zhou was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He never imagined that his improved [Skeleton King Meditation Method] would have such a good effect on ordinary necromancers.

Subconsciously, he focused his attention on the skeleton clone, only to be shocked to find that the skeleton clone's attribute panel had a brand new section.

[Apostle] 1 (Su Xinyan, Gold-ranked Lower-level Necromancer)

What's going on?

He focused his attention on the apostles' box, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

Perhaps it was because he changed his meditation imagery to his own skeletal clone, and coincidentally, the skeletal clone received the blessing of the underworld, gaining the skill of [Skeleton King].

Ordinary necromancers like Su Xinyan, who cultivated the [Skeleton King Meditation Method], actually developed a mysterious connection with their skeletal avatars through meditation, thus becoming what is known as an apostle.
