Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 237 - 225: Inverted Demonic Heart, Profession Evolut

"We discovered this black bottle inlaid in the rock wall in the deepest part of a cave in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. It was quietly emitting gray smoke, filled with the energy of the Death Attribute. The smoke seed alive, slowly swirling in the air and forming strange patterns. The mont we removed it from the rock wall, the gray smoke suddenly stopped pouring out, as if it had lost its power. We tried various thods, but we could never get it to release that mysterious smoke again."

"It wasn’t until I was on my way back to Sea City Military Academy after completing the hunt in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range that I heard Ling Yun was looking for resources related to the Undead Attribute. I realized then that this black bottle might be exactly what he needed." Yue Pengfei’s words carried a hint of expectation. "Later, I contacted Ling Yun and learned about your needs, Fang Zhou. Perhaps with your wisdom, we can unlock the secret of this black bottle."

After pondering for a mont, Fang Zhou asked Yue Pengfei a few more questions, which Yue Pengfei answered one by one.

Nodding slightly, Fang Zhou looked up and said to Yue Pengfei, "Senior Pengfei, may I handle this black Magic Bottle myself?"

Yue Pengfei laughed heartily. "Of course, no problem. Don’t be fooled by how ancient and plain this bottle looks. Through our research, we’ve found its structure to be very solid. As long as it’s not subjected to a violent attack, it generally won’t deform. Feel free to study it as you wish."

With Yue Pengfei’s permission, Fang Zhou no longer held back, his gaze locked tightly on the bottle. This black Magic Bottle had a very unique shape, like an inverted heart. Its base was broad and stable, gradually narrowing upward until it ford a slender neck at its mouth. The top was tightly sealed with an exquisite silver stopper, which was engraved with intricate patterns.

Fang Zhou extended both hands and carefully cradled the black Magic Bottle. He slowly guided his Spiritual Power outward, sending it like invisible tendrils to gently encircle the object. However, when his Spiritual Power touched the surface of the bottle, it was as if it had encountered an invisible wall, silently vanishing into the darkness without a trace.

Unwilling to give up, Fang Zhou did not abandon his efforts. He adjusted his breathing, focused his mind, and tried to alter the frequency and intensity of his Spiritual Power.

Just then, Yue Pengfei rembered sothing else and said, "Fang Zhou, our team’s Magic Professionals also studied it with their Spiritual Power, but they gained nothing. If we hadn’t personally witnessed large amounts of gray smoke filled with Death Attribute energy emanating from this Magic Bottle... and if the Bloodthirsty Bats guarding it hadn’t all shown extrely faint signs of Undead Transformation, we might have dismissed it as just an ordinary ancient relic."

Yue Pengfei’s words gradually clarified Fang Zhou’s muddled thoughts. With a flash of insight, he realized that if re contact with Spiritual Power could trigger a reaction, the Magic and Support Professionals on Yue Pengfei’s team wouldn’t have co up empty-handed. However, Yue Pengfei was absolutely certain that the black Magic Bottle had once emitted gray smoke filled with Death Attribute energy. This was proof enough that it truly harbored the mysteries of the Undead Attribute.

If Undead Attribute energy could trigger a reaction from the black Magic Bottle, did that an he could use it to his advantage?

Fang Zhou quietly circulated his Spiritual Power, slowly condensing a weak vortex of Undead Attribute energy between his hands. His Spiritual Power, like fine threads, drew the Undead Attribute energy toward the black Magic Bottle.

Yue Pengfei turned his head toward Yue Lingyun, a murmur of admiration in his voice. "Fang Zhou is truly extraordinary! He’s only at the Apprentice Middle Rank, yet he can manipulate Undead Attribute energy with such skill. Such control, making the difficult appear simple and the simple profound... it’s a technique even I haven’t fully mastered."

Upon hearing Yue Pengfei’s evaluation, a flicker of confusion crossed Yue Lingyun’s eyes. He asked, sowhat puzzled, "Cousin, are you saying Fang Zhou’s technique is impressive? But what do you an, exactly?"

Hearing this, Yue Pengfei whispered in a tone of exasperation, "You... although you have decent talent, there’s still a significant gap between you and Fang Zhou. You’re one of the top 20 seed students among the first-years, how can you not understand sothing so basic?"

Yue Lingyun didn’t mind Yue Pengfei’s reprimand. A corner of his mouth lifted in an indifferent smirk. "Cousin, you’ve probably been away from Sea City Military Academy for too long and don’t know the current situation. At the academy, Fang Zhou’s na is legendary. It’s not just us first-years; even the second-year seed students are fighting for a chance to team up with him. So what if there’s a gap between him and ?"

Yue Pengfei was struck speechless by Yue Lingyun’s words. After a long silence, he spoke again. "At the Apprentice Stage, the strength of Magic Professionals and Support Professionals cos from Spiritual Power, while the foundation for Combat Professionals is physical strength. However, an individual’s power is ultimately limited, whereas external energy is boundless. Normally, Professionals at the Apprentice Stage can only rely on their own Spiritual Power or physical strength. It is very difficult for them to draw upon external Attribute energy."
