Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 51 Attribute Panel, Refine It for Me!

After clarifying his thoughts, Fangzhou took out a silver-gray stone.

This is the [Level 1 Refinement Stone] he obtained from the dungeon.

Sure enough, just like with the previous [Level 1 Sapphire], the attribute panel immediately displayed a notification.

"A resource that can be enhanced has been detected. You can consume 10 points of soul power to enhance it."

"Shall we begin the enhancement?"

Fang Zhou took out the Apprentice Staff. "Begin strengthening."

With the consumption of 10 points of soul power, this small level 1 refined stone quickly merged with the apprentice's staff.

The ordinary-looking staff now has a mysterious luster.

Fangzhou glanced at the equipment slots in the attribute panel. The Apprentice Staff now had a "+1" mark, indicating a slight increase in the amplification of spell effects.

Fangzhou gripped the staff in his hand, and couldn't help but imagine the day when he would wield a +9 artifact-level staff and roam the world freely.

However, he quickly came to his senses.

A level 1 refinement stone is worth 10 contribution points, and so on. Refining equipment is a real money pit.

A long way to go!

Fang Zhou's initial sense of pride at accumulating 500 contribution points was immediately erased.

He then wondered, since human professionals' equipment can be refined and inlaid, could his skeletal avatar's skeletal armor also be refined and inlaid?

With that in mind, Fangzhou focused his attention on the skeleton clone again.

Seeing the considerable amount of soul power he had accumulated, Fangzhou attempted to refine and inlay the skeletal spear and skeletal armor using the attribute panel.

He quickly received feedback.

Inlaying requires gemstones as essential materials, while the refined stones needed for refining can be replaced with bone essence.

As a Black Iron-level Skeleton Warrior, the Skeleton Clone naturally possesses abundant bone essence.

In that case, refine the attribute panel!

"Refinable resources have been detected. You may use 100 points of soul power to refine them."

"Shall we begin refining?"

With the Ark confirmed, the 100 points of soul power accumulated over several days flowed into the Bone Spear like a trickle into the ocean.

The originally pale bone surface shimmered with a faint, eerie blue light, as if it were alive, and a swirling vortex of death was faintly gathering at the tip of the spear, filled with a destructive aura.

As the last trace of bone essence was absorbed, the Bone Spear completed its refining process and successfully upgraded to level +1.

The Bone Spear, being a white-quality, common-quality item, can be refined a maximum of 2 times.

However, to refine it a second time, you need to pay more bone essence and 200 points of soul power.

Fangzhou couldn't produce that many resources in a short time, but even so, he was already very satisfied.

He once again successfully applied the research findings of human professionals on equipment to his skeleton clone.

The clones undoubtedly have greater potential for improvement in combat power.

This also means that his approach of nurturing clones with his main body and then using clones to nourish his main body is entirely correct.

Fangzhou brandished his +1 refined skeletal spear and casually chose a nearby lucky skeleton as his target.

laugh!

Amidst the barely perceptible sound of air being cut, Ark clearly sensed that the +1 refined skeletal spear was displaying a sharpness and power even greater than before.

Like butter meeting a hot knife, the lucky skeleton's skull was shattered by the skeletal spear, and it fell into a peaceful, infant-like sleep.

Click.

Click.

The skeleton clone laughed silently; such a significant boost was well worth the 100 points of soul power he had expended.

He looked at his attribute panel again, and the proficiency of the [Brutal Strike] skill was still at [Perfect].

The difficulty of moving from "perfection" to "instinct" is indeed very high.

Fortunately, the skeleton clone has broken through to the lower level of Black Iron, and the number of times it can release apprentice-level skills in a row has naturally increased significantly.

According to Fangzhou's estimate, he should be able to practice Brutal Strike to the [Instinct] proficiency level in another three or four days.

Under the glow of the blood moon, the skeletal clone, wielding a +1 refined bone spear, once again embarked on its shameless journey of bullying the weak.

......

Over the next few days, the simulated battlefield gradually returned to calm.

A number of elite students successfully cleared the [Little Demon Camp] on normal difficulty, but most students were still stuck here.

Being unable to defeat a lesser demon in a one-on-one fight is a matter of raw strength, which can only be improved through daily training and combat.

Even the best of the new students, such as Ye Fan, Meng Hongzhuang, and Gu Zhiqi, still failed under the difficulty of the Abyss.

However, inspired by the Ark, they also tried using various tactics and achieved some results.

Especially Meng Hongzhuang, the [Nature Summoner], whose progress in clearing the dungeon is the most advanced, even surpassing Ye Fan's.

In Meng Hongzhuang's best performance in the simulated battlefield, she had successfully stormed the camp and killed several lesser demons. In the end, she was defeated by the continuous Devouring Magic Talent and Desecration Ray from the two Abyss Demon Children.

While everyone else was working hard, Ark was naturally not idle either.

Every morning, he would enter the simulated battlefield and clear the [Horned Demon Outpost] on Abyss difficulty.

Thanks to the attribute boosts provided by the Spirit Elixir and his increasing familiarity with the dungeon mechanics, Ark's clearing speed is getting faster and faster, and he is becoming more and more adept at dealing with demons.

In addition to digging traps and taking advantage of the dense fog and jungle terrain, he also tried to adopt other tactical approaches.

For example, they could lure the snake out of its hole and then seize its nest, using the outpost's defensive advantage to resist the demons' siege.

Alternatively, a kite-flying tactic can be employed, utilizing the agility attribute and the movement speed advantage provided by the [Bone Wings] skill to gradually eliminate the demonic forces within the outpost.

These tactical attempts yielded mixed results; the good ones were considered perfect, while the bad ones were barely passable.

Regardless of the outcome, these attempts have greatly expanded Ark's tactical repertoire.

The abyss difficulty, which other trainees feared and avoided like the plague, had become the best testing ground for him to verify what he had learned and improve his tactical thinking.

Fangzhou's performance was naturally observed by the instructors.

Whether in terms of combat power or research capabilities, whether in terms of mentality or tactical thinking, Ark is impeccable.

Needless to say, instructors like Lu Hu, Shen Hongyu, and Chen Qingshan, who have always been optimistic about Fang Zhou, even Principal Su Tiankuo, who is known for his stubbornness, has quietly placed Fang Zhou in the top position as the number one seed at Haicheng Military Academy.

The other first-year students had become completely numb to Fangzhou's performance.

These academic geniuses are figures that ordinary people can only look up to from the ground.

Only a chuunibyou like Ye Fan would become more courageous after setbacks. Faced with the gap between him and Fang Zhou, he was not discouraged, but instead his fighting spirit was aroused.

As for Bai Xiaochun, she has completely given up.

Solo dungeons are just not suitable for her; her future lies in team dungeons.
