Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 284 - 245: Crowned Greatsword Skeleton, the Stronges

Fang Zhou slowly said, "From an objective point of view, although your realm is indeed a bit higher than Olaf’s, losing to it is not surprising. You must understand, Olaf didn’t just inherit those instinct-level Berserker Skills; more importantly, it inherited the war experience and Combat Techniques from General Ning Feihu. These are qualities that cannot be asured simply by levels."

Fang Zhou continued to explain, "In contrast, Senior Brother Lu, as a second-year student at Sea City Military Academy who hasn’t beco one of its top Seed Students, you naturally have a lot of room for improvent in your combat experience and techniques. Therefore, losing to Olaf is nothing out of the ordinary. However, this also ans you have a great deal of potential to unlock."

To further alleviate Lu Renjia’s sense of loss, Fang Zhou added, "Actually, you weren’t facing an ordinary skeleton soldier. It was an extraordinary Mutated Skeleton forged from a Marvel I received from the Heroic Spirit of General Ning Feihu. Each ti I summon it, I must expend a large amount of Spiritual Power as a price, and it cannot remain for long. It has inherited many of General Ning Feihu’s Berserker Profession Skills, as well as so of the Combat Techniques ingrained into his very soul. You can think of it as a battle-hardened, elite veteran."

Hearing Fang Zhou’s comforting words, Lu Renjia’s spirits lifted slightly.

Months ago, when Fang Zhou first began conquering the Simulation Battlefield, Lu Renjia had started paying attention to this first-year recruit who was rising as swiftly as the morning sun. He had also been closely following Fang Zhou’s performance during the Seed Student selection in Cave No. 1. Therefore, Lu Renjia naturally knew that Fang Zhou’s greatest achievent in Cave No. 1 was discovering the remains of General Ning Feihu, who had sacrificed himself in the defense of Sea City decades ago. The entire military academy had been shaken by the news.

If what Fang Zhou said was true—that this Mutated Skeleton was a gift from General Ning Feihu’s Heroic Spirit—then there was nothing disgraceful about him, an ordinary student of Sea City Military Academy, losing to it. After all, even the top second-year Seed Students who had already made their mark might not have been able to put up a superior performance against Fang Zhou’s enhanced Olaf.

Under Fang Zhou’s guidance, Lu Renjia overlooked the anomalies in Olaf’s Four-dinsional Attributes and racial Combat Power Coefficient. In truth, this strength originated from the Mysterious Power of ’Crowned with Death,’ a new Skill Fang Zhou had just grasped.

Fang Zhou was well aware of this, but he saw no need to reveal it and further crush Senior Brother Lu Renjia’s already shattered resolve.

Outside the arena, Instructor Su Xinyan, who had been observing the battle, stared at Olaf with an intense, fiery gaze filled with excitent and anticipation. She turned to Fang Zhou and eagerly asked, "Fang Zhou, what do you think of the enhancent effect of the Skill [Crowned with Death] on Olaf? By roughly how much did it boost its strength?"

Fang Zhou stroked his chin, ntally reviewing Olaf’s battle against Lu Renjia while under the effects of [Crowned with Death], before giving a cautious assessnt.

"Based on my observation, I believe [Crowned with Death] increased Olaf’s strength by at least forty percent. Of course, I’m still just a Middle-rank Apprentice right now. Once I advance to Upper-rank Apprentice, the number of skeletons I can summon will increase. The benefits from the [Crowned with Death] Skill will undoubtedly beco even more significant then. Overall, the Skill is acceptable."

Although Fang Zhou had only given it an "acceptable" rating, Instructor Su Xinyan clearly had far higher expectations for the Skill. She was beaming, her eyes shining with irrepressible excitent.

With a crisp snap, Su Xinyan clenched her small fist, as if cheering for the bright future ahead.

"This Skill is completely different from those Skeleton Series Skills you deduced before! Judging by its effects, [Crowned with Death] can influence all the Undead Creatures you summon. Although it’s only just been developed and is currently an Apprentice-level exclusive Beneficial Magic for Undead Mages, as your strength grows, if you can continue to develop and perfect it to higher tiers like Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and even Gold, it will beco another Divine Level Skill in the Undead Mage arsenal!"

At her side, ng Hongzhuang, though not an Undead Mage herself, was equally thrilled as the one who contributed the core idea for the Skill’s developnt. She nodded frequently in agreent. "That’s right, Boss Fang Zhou! The four Apprentice-level enhancent Skills for summoned creatures I listed for you before—Natural Coronation, Beast Heart, Glory Beacon, and Elental Resonance—all have corresponding advanced versions. I’m certain that with your intelligence and relentless effort, you’ll be able to develop [Crowned with Death] to an even more profound level as your power increases!"

Despite the admiration from Instructor Su Xinyan and ng Hongzhuang, Fang Zhou maintained a calm and composed expression, showing no trace of pride.

In his view, all these achievents were rely the result of his Talent; there was nothing worth being particularly proud of.
