Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 216 - 206: Mirror of the Heart, Trade Grand Event (P

It would be perfect if I could get so rare resources on the level of a Life Crystal or an Evergreen Fruit.

After browsing the trading channel today, Fang Zhou realized that many of the resources he needed, such as those for soul-nourishing and Spirit recovery, were also extrely rare and valuable to the other students. To successfully obtain them, contribution points alone weren’t enough. The most effective way was through bartering.

Having understood this, Fang Zhou used his personal terminal to chat with Senior Sister Liu Diewu about the trading bazaar.

However, Senior Sister Die Wu had recently returned to Sea City Military Academy from a Spatial Fragnt in the Forest of Nature and was focusing on breaking through her bottleneck to advance to the Black Iron rank. She hadn’t spent much ti paying attention to the upcoming trading bazaar, so she wasn’t very familiar with the specifics. But she told Fang Zhou that she would ask other second-year Seed Students about the ti, place, and general details of the bazaar. If she heard anything, she would inform him promptly.

After thanking her profusely, Fang Zhou suddenly thought of sothing else and asked Liu Diewu about Gu Yueyuan, the number one Seed Student of the second year.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "By the way, Senior Sister Die Wu, do you know anything about Gu Yueyuan? I just saw on the trading channel that he put a Marvel called the [Mirror of the Heart], which has a soul-nourishing effect, up for public sale. The trade requirent is to barter for it with an Insect Magic Crystal or a Life Crystal purified from an Insect Magic Crystal.

"I happen to have a Life Crystal from a Fierce Ant Queen, which should et his conditions. But he isn’t at Sea City Military Academy right now, so I can only leave him a ssage and wait for him to return before we can trade."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Tsk, tsk. The strong really do attract one another. Junior Brother Fang Zhou, Gu Yueyuan is actually sowhat like you.

"You’re the undisputed legend of the first years, while Gu Yueyuan is a prodigy among us second-years, capable of the impossible."

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "Oh? Tell more."

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Gu Yueyuan awakened the extrely rare Profession, [Insect Nest Walker].

"When he first awakened, his combat power wasn’t very outstanding because, due to his limited circumstances, he couldn’t find a suitable insect-type Demon to breed.

"Around this ti last year, during the Seed Student selection, Gu Yueyuan ranked only 88th in terms of pure combat power. He barely scraped into the ranks of the Seed Students.

"However, the combat power of an [Insect Nest Walker] depends entirely on the insect army he commands.

"In the first half of this year, Gu Yueyuan sohow obtained an extrely rare insect egg and bred a type of insect army that is incredibly powerful during the Apprentice Stage. Moreover, during his Cultivation, he awakened a Talent Skill called Heart of the Insect Swarm, which drastically improved his technique and skill in commanding his insect army.

"Relying on the Heart of the Insect Swarm and the combat power boost from his insect army, Gu Yueyuan’s direct combat strength soared, and his Cultivation speed increased significantly as well. Naturally, his ranking among the second-year Seed Students grew by leaps and bounds.

"By the ti you first-year students had just enrolled, Gu Yueyuan had easily defeated the original number one Seed Student, becoming a rare example of a latecor surpassing the front-runner in the history of Sea City Military Academy."

Fang Zhou quickly scanned the information from Liu Diewu, a trace of surprise and solemnity appearing in his eyes.

This Gu Yueyuan... looking at his accomplishnts, it’s like he’s using cheat codes.

Even Ye Fan, the Demon Hunter blessed with incredible luck, probably didn’t have a story as shockingly legendary as Gu Yueyuan’s.

Just then, Liu Diewu sent an emoji that was hard to describe, followed by another long ssage.

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "As one of the higher-ranked second-year Seed Students, I’ve fought Gu Yueyuan before.

"Sigh, that’s a mory I’d rather not revisit!

"Just thinking about the swarms he summoned, crawling all over every inch of space around —up, down, left, and right—still gives a lingering sense of fear.

"Not to ntion, he was the first to break through his bottleneck and advance to the Black Iron rank not long ago. His strength must have at least doubled.

"I wonder if Gu Yueyuan will be able to grow to the level of that Legendary Crown who suppressed the demon hordes on the Human-Demon Battlefield in the Mythical World."

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "May I ask, Senior Sister Die Wu, what is Senior Brother Gu Yueyuan’s personality and temperant like? Is he easy to get along with?"

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "Gu Yueyuan is also a war orphan. His parents were ordinary people who died in an indiscriminate terrorist attack carried out by Demon Worshipers.

"Because of that, he grew up in an orphanage and has a very solitary and gloomy personality.

"To be honest, aside from matters of academics and Cultivation, I don’t really have much contact with him. He’s also used to being a lone wolf and rarely teams up with others for missions.

"In my view, he has the kind of personality where he won’t bother you as long as you don’t bother him. He has only one goal: to exterminate every last Abyssal Demon and Demon Worshiper in the world.

"Junior Brother Fang Zhou, you said you have the Insect Magic Crystal he needs and want to trade for the [Mirror of the Heart]. That’s a win-win deal.

"Don’t worry. Based on my experience, you just need to conduct a normal trade with him. He won’t give you any trouble."

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "Alright, I understand. Thank you, Senior Sister Die Wu.

"I have one more thing I’d like to ask you. Do you know anything about Gu Yueyuan’s Marvel, the [Mirror of the Heart]?"

[Green Robe, My Heart Swings] (Liu Diewu): "I don’t know much about it. I only ever heard that Gu Yueyuan unearthed this creation from another civilization during an off-campus mission. It can slightly alleviate the soul fatigue of an Apprentice-tier Professional.

"However, I also heard that this Mirror of the Heart once suffered severe damage, and its current efficacy is less than a tenth of what it once was.

"Gu Yueyuan searched for a long ti but couldn’t find a way to repair it. I suppose that’s why he’s willing to put it up for public sale now that he has already broken through to the Black Iron rank and no longer needs it.

"After all, even though I don’t understand the Cultivation thods or power progression path of an Insect Nest Walker, since he’s specifically asking for Insect Magic Crystals, he must need them to cultivate the insect army he is breeding.

"When he completes his mission and returns to the academy, he’ll definitely contact you as soon as he finds out you want to trade. Don’t worry, Junior Brother Fang Zhou.

"If I get a chance to see Gu Yueyuan, I’ll also pass the ssage along for you."
