Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

Therefore, when the moment truly arrived, his heart was exceptionally calm.

After making sufficient preparations, everything was within his control.

Moonlight poured into the room through the window, the gentle silver glow surrounding him as if crowning him.

He began the final meditation of his Bronze career.

Mana gathered into his gaseous energy core like droplets of clear water, eventually forming a powerful torrent of energy.

This feeling of perfection began to permeate Fang Zhou’s mind.

His mana began to boil, like lava before a volcanic eruption, stirring, splitting, then rapidly expanding until it broke through the barrier as thin as a cicada’s wings.

Poof!

A faint, almost imperceptible sound echoed in Fang Zhou’s mind.

After the enhancement provided by the Potential Potion, the tier barrier that had once stood in his way seemed insubstantial now, easily penetrated by his mana.

Next came the critical step of condensing the Silver-level liquid core.

This was not only the key moment where a Magic Professional’s gaseous mana transformed into liquid mana, but also the pivotal point in determining whether Fang Zhou could successfully solidify his unique talent skills upon breaking through this Great Realm.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly closed his eyes, focusing all his attention on the depths of his mind.

Under his guidance, gaseous Undead mana gradually gathered into a swirling vortex.

Following Su Xinyan’s teachings, he carefully recalled his previous simulation experiences, ensuring each step was accurate.

As the gaseous mana continued to converge, the vortex’s center became increasingly dense.

Finally, that vortex of mana in his mind gradually solidified, eventually forming a liquid energy core.

Meanwhile, the formerly abundant gaseous mana began to undergo a qualitative change.

It fused with the external Undead attribute energy that was guided in, forming the unique liquid mana of an Undead Mage.

During the crucial process of solidifying talent skills, Fang Zhou initially thought he could do nothing besides leave everything to luck.

During the Apprentice advancement to Black Iron, he first condensed an Invisible Energy Core and solidified the talent skill that was most useful to him: [Summoned Undead Creatures].

[Summoned Undead Creatures] caused Fang Zhou’s combat power to soar dramatically, allowing him to handle five times more Undead Summoned Creatures than a regular Undead Mage.

While advancing from Black Iron to Bronze, he solidified the defensive skill [Death Protection] in his gaseous energy core.

This talent would let Fang Zhou always be shielded by a strong Death Protection layer, shielding him from the assassination and decapitation risks that ordinary Magic Professionals feared.

Given Fang Zhou’s current strength and methods, as long as he could thwart the enemy’s first wave of assassination, what followed would be a storm of magic bombardments and various self-preservation methods.

Fang Zhou was extremely satisfied with the talent skills solidified in the previous two advancements.

On a personal note, this time he wanted to solidify a powerful Attack Skill.

But according to the current research results from the Human Alliance, the talents of a Professional can only determine whether they can solidify a talent skill at the critical moment of advancing through a Great Level. They cannot choose which specific talent to solidify.

Fang Zhou, looking at his skills list and feeling a bit hopeful, was suddenly alerted by the attribute panel.

"Detected breakthrough to Silver Tier, currently solidifying random talent skill. Consuming 100,000 Soul Power allows directed solidification. Start consumption?

Hiss!

In the midst of joy, Fang Zhou couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

This attribute panel is really ruthless.

Quickly learning a Silver-level Professional skill only costs 10,000 Soul Power.

Now, just wanting to directed solidify a talent skill requires the consumption of 100,000 points of Soul Power.

Looking at his reserves, Fang Zhou felt a toothache.

Despite selling everything off, he can still put together 100,000 points of Soul Power for directed talent skill solidification.

But going forward, if he wants to massively update and enhance all the skills he’s currently mastered to the Silver Tier, it might be quite a stretch.

After all, he just spent enormous Soul Power to help the Blood Spirit Lord clone absorb the Vampire race’s Flesh Splitting racial talent.

That alone nearly emptied his previous stored Soul Power.

If it weren’t for the Undead Army under the Vampire contributing a huge amount of Soul Power to Fang Zhou, he wouldn’t even have the 100,000 Soul Power now.

Despite cursing internally, he can’t avoid spending this Soul Power.

For human Professionals, just after breaking through to a new Great Level is the only moment they have the chance to solidify a talent skill.

If missed, this vital piece for strengthening is forever lost.

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Zhou gritted his teeth and invested 100,000 Soul Power.

Then he looked at the attribute panel’s skills bar at the [Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear] skill.

"Solidify [Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear]!"

At the Bronze Tier, Fang Zhou possessed skill trees from the Summoning Series, Skeleton Series, Corrosive Poison Series, Enhancement Series, containing all battle elements like Attack, Defense, Movement, Buff, and Control.

Through multi-faceted cooperation, he was a powerful Mage without any weaknesses.

Even so, Fang Zhou had greater expectations for his magic attack capabilities.

Given that he invested significant effort and resources into creating and enhancing Undead Summoned Creatures.

Although the power of his offensive skills was already terrifying, they still weren’t enough to satisfy Fang Zhou.

If possible, Fang Zhou wished he could kill swaths of enemies with just a glance.

With Summoned Undead Creatures serving his Legion combat needs.

Death Protection talent for his personal defense.

Naturally, Fang Zhou wanted to greatly enhance his single-target attack ability.

You’ve been chosen, [Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear], empower me!

With the frenzied consumption of 100,000 Soul Power, the [Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear] skill that Fang Zhou had practiced to an instinctive mastery also experienced its transformation.

Under Fang Zhou’s guidance, this skill was successfully fixed into the liquid mana core, becoming a central part of future battles.

Moreover, with Fang Zhou’s understanding and analysis, the [Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear] skill underwent an evolution.

It expanded from a singular Skeleton Series Undead Mage single-target attack skill into the broader [Calamity Flying Spear] skill.

Meaning during the process of solidifying the talent skill, Fang Zhou broadened Calamity Flying Spear’s boundaries, leaving openings for integrating other attack skills within the Skeleton Series attack magic.

With Fang Zhou’s continuous advancement, whether reaching Gold or Glory Champion, this deeply engraved talent skill can always be modified and improved within his mana core.

Since Skeleton Series attack skills only constitute a small part of an Undead Mage’s power.

Presently, Fang Zhou already mastered skill trees from the Skeleton Series, Corrosive Poison Series, Soul Series, and is poised to decode the Flesh and Blood Series skill tree from the Vampire race’s Flesh Splitting talent.

Next, Fang Zhou is bound to decode curse, decay, instant death, and other powerful Undead strengths from higher-level Undead Creatures.

Expanding from a singular Skeleton Series skill to a versatile Calamity Flying Spear, its practicality was surely enhanced greatly.

Though this talent magic solidified within the liquid mana core is still of Bronze Tier, Fang Zhou is full of confidence.

Once mastering higher-tier single-target attack skills, like the Soul Series’ Spirit-Destroying Beam or the Flesh and Blood Series’ Bloody Demon Claw, Fang Zhou will be able to gradually merge these skills into his talent skill, thus continuously perfecting and evolving it.

Fang Zhou looked at the attribute panel skills bar’s description; the [Skeleton Heart-Piercing Flying Spear] skill had indeed been transformed into [Calamity Flying Spear] and now marked as a talent skill.

He closed his eyes, earnestly sensing the subtle changes within the liquid mana core.

The augmentation effects brought by the solidified talent skill were simple yet exceptionally powerful.
