Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Chapter 825 - 524: New Ranks, New Equipment, New Specialization! (Part 2)

Kill three Abyssal Demon Lords?

Engage in a fierce battle with the power projections of three Abyssal Demon Champions for more than 10 minutes?

A Legendary Powerhouse makes a move and successfully beheads three Abyssal Demon Champions?

Fang Zhou’s military achievements sound like pure fantasy to these research assistants.

While they, as apprentices and Black Iron, are still doing black work in Fang Zhou’s laboratory, Fang Zhou himself has already been promoted to the rank of Major and achieved such great feats outside?!

Even the students who didn’t know Fang Zhou well, let alone the almond-faced little fangirl who secretly paid attention to Fang Zhou, couldn’t help but gape in astonishment.

But then, Lu Hu’s announcement wasn’t over yet.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Fang Zhou, you’ve struck it rich this time!

Take a look at this list of war rewards, most of the resources you applied for have been allocated to you."

Because the spoils were so astonishing, Lu Hu hesitated and didn’t announce them loudly.

Fang Zhou took the resource exchange list from Lu Hu’s hand, glanced at it casually, and felt a bit surprised.

The first reward was incredibly plain and simple, a 30,000 contribution point reward.

Even at the original price, it would be enough for Fang Zhong to exchange for three Silver Level skills.

And this was just one of the lesser items.

The second reward was the upgrade of Fang Zhou’s Longxia Blade Medal to the Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal.

Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal (Blue Fine, Marvel): An honorary medal awarded by the Longxia Federation military to elite warriors.

1. Can significantly enhance the primary attributes of Silver Level and below professionals;

2. Slightly reduce skill cooldown time;

3. Can store up to five times per day direct damage skills not exceeding the holder’s tier;

4. The holder of this medal can exchange resources from the Longxia Federation military at a 10% discount for Silver Level and below.

The Longxia Blade Medal was the reward Fang Zhou received after leading the Sea City Military Academy Team to victory in the rookie competition.

It is a Blue Fine quality marvel, which can slightly enhance the primary attributes of Silver Level and below professionals.

It can also store up to three times per day direct damage skills not exceeding the holder’s tier.

Compared to the Longxia Blade Medal, the upgraded Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal is also a Blue Fine quality marvel.

However, both the attribute bonus effect and the skill storage quantity have been significantly improved.

Moreover, it also has the effect of slightly reducing skill cooldown time and accelerating skill casting frequency, making it an excellent piece of equipment.

Of course, compared to the solid equipment effects, what Fang Zhou actually cares more about is the discount it brings.

This Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal allows Fang Zhou to exchange resources from the Longxia Federation military for Silver Level and below at a 10% discount.

Although this discount pales in comparison to the 50% discount of the Sea City Military Academy’s number one seed or the 60% discount of the Undead Mage’s research group,

the 10% discount provided by the Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal can be used to exchange for Silver Tier cultivation resources.

The huge discount Fang Zhou previously enjoyed could only be used at the resource library of the Sea City Military Academy logistics department, which doesn’t provide Silver Tier resources.

From another perspective, the reason Fang Zhou was able to enjoy such a large discount before was naturally because he was in an educational institution like the Sea City Military Academy, which is more inclined to train talent for the military.

Providing certain resources to budding professionals to help them grow better during their initial awakening is a consistent policy of the Human Alliance military.

But such benefits are impossible to enjoy outside the military academy.

For decades of the Era of Myth, the distribution of various resources for Human Alliance professionals has shown a clear pyramid shape.

The higher the tier of cultivation resources, the rarer they are, the harder they are to exchange for, and the more contribution points they require.

And they often exist in a state where they are priced, but there is no market.

For controlling the flow of resources, the High Command of the Human Alliance is very cautious with various discounts on high-tier resources, and any discount is precious and rare.

Fang Zhou receiving the Longxia Sharp Warrior Medal, which allows for a 10% discount at the Silver Tier before even reaching the Silver Tier, is already a rare opportunity.

Fang Zhou continued to look at the reward list. The third reward was a blue fine quality Magic Robe named "Nether River Ferryman Mage Robe."

Like the Soul Shattering Bone Staff, it is an exclusive piece of equipment for the Undead Mage profession, though it’s unclear where the Federation military obtained it from.

Nether River Ferryman Mage Robe (Blue Fine): Exclusive equipment for the Undead Mage profession.

1. Provides the wearer with significant defense power.

2. Grants a moderate increase in the power of all undead magic and moderately reduces their cooldown.

3. Moderately increases the defense power of undead creatures summoned by the wearer.

4. Provides the "Nether River Ferry" effect to up to 20 undead summoned creatures, allowing them to ignore fatal damage briefly when under deadly attack due to the protection of the Nether River Ferry effect.

This is a much more powerful mage robe than the green excellent quality Dusk Robe Fang Zhou currently uses.

For the Bronze Upper Rank Fang Zhou, the defense power and spirit attribute enhancement effects of the Dusk Mage’s robe are no longer very effective.

Fang Zhou values more the Dusk Mage Robe’s accompanying Dusk Array effect.

It can increase the direct magic power of undead summoned creatures around Fang Zhou by up to 20%.

However, compared to the great advancements brought by the Nether River Ferryman Mage Robe, the Dusk Robe pales in comparison.

Not to mention that this blue mage robe can be refined four times and inlaid with four powerful level 4 gemstones. The equipment effects will be significantly enhanced.

On the side, Instructor Su Xinyan enviously looked at the detailed description of the Nether River Ferryman Mage Robe, somewhat sourly saying, "Such a powerful mage robe feels better than the one I’m using now.

The Federation’s military is finally generous this time."

Fang Zhou chuckled and held Instructor Su Xinyan’s hand without saying much.

He then looked at the fourth reward, a look of joy in his eyes.

This is a reward from the Longxia Federation military that is most to his liking, simple and straightforward.

It consists of the Bronze-level heavenly and earthly treasures most needed by the Undead Mage profession: "Nether Soil Crystal" and "Netherworld Cloud Moss."

The third heavenly and earthly treasure, "Yin Soul Spirit Sand," Fang Zhou has already successfully extracted from the Ice Coffin of the bone mage from the Naraku Civilization.

Now the Federation military has gathered the remaining two heavenly and earthly treasures for Fang Zhou.

This means that as soon as the resources arrive, Fang Zhou can refine the long-awaited Bronze-level Undead Mage potential potion at any time.

Fang Zhou’s current spirit attribute already exceeds 900 points, only one step away from the Silver bottleneck of 1000 points.

Just taking the potential potion will prepare Fang Zhou to break through the bottleneck at any moment, advancing to a Silver Lower Rank Undead Mage.

Silver tier, Fang Zhou’s eyes could not help but reveal a look of yearning.

Most instructors at Sea City Military Academy are actually at the Bronze tier.

Only a few elite instructors, like Huang Qiuyue, Shen Hongyu, and Liu Qingshan, are at the Silver tier.

They became Silver Powerhouses after over a decade of training and purifying their efforts in the fires of war, and are the solid pillars of the Human Alliance army.

At this tier, they can be considered powerhouses in any mythical world’s race or location.

Even among the deeply rooted and terrifying Abyssal Demons, a Silver Demon can be considered a definite frontline vanguard.

Calming his somewhat excited mood, Fang Zhou looked at the next few rewards.

The fifth reward is the spiritual nourishment resource "New Moon Dew," suitable for Bronze and Silver levels.

Its effect on nourishing the soul far surpasses that of the Flower Elf’s Moonlight Spring Water and Purified Moonlight Spring, and in terms of quality, it’s enough for Fang Zhou to use until the Silver Upper Rank.

In terms of quantity, it’s worth a full 10,000 contribution points, enough for Fang Zhou to use for half a year.

The sixth reward is a professional specialization training manual called "War Caster."

The War Caster specialization is similar to Magic Conductor and Wisdom Incarnation as a universal specialization for Magic Professionals.

Its effect is very strong, listed by Instructor Su Xinyan, Master Sandro, and other Golden Tier Great Mages as one of the must-learn specializations for Undead Mages.
