Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone Chapter 295 - 250: Attribute Panel, Fuse for Me! (Part 2)

I should strike while the iron is hot and try to deduce it right now. Let’s see if I can successfully fuse Skeleton Arrow Rain and ntal Shock.

Su Xinyan nodded, her eyes brimming with anticipation and excitent.

Ever since she had witnessed firsthand how Fang Zhou effortlessly deduced the new skill, Crowned with Death, a few days ago, she had beco completely captivated by his ability to have such a burst of inspiration. She was deeply envious. From her perspective, Fang Zhou had deduced a skill like Crowned with Death from scratch in less than ten minutes. Now, he only needed to make minor adjustnts to existing skills, so the success rate was naturally going to be very high.

At this mont, Fang Zhou had opened his personal terminal and was browsing the apprentice-level Professional Skill Library of Sea City Military Academy. Combining the Skill Deduction ideas previously provided by Bai Xiaochan with the insights Su Xinyan had just shared, he quickly zeroed in on several skills for apprentice-level Law Makers and Support Professionals. Among the many options, he selected a few that were most compatible with Skeleton Arrow Rain and ntal Shock.

The Storm Mage’s Gale Strike was an area attack skill highly recomnded by Instructor Su Xinyan. Its unique aspect was its ability to harness the wildest force in nature—the Storm Elent—and skillfully manipulate it to create a variety of attack forms. Gale Strike could summon fierce whirlwinds to ensnare enemies, as if they were being tightly grasped by countless invisible hands. Alternatively, it could unleash sharp blades of wind to slice through any obstacle. These Storm Blades were not only incredibly sharp but could also cover a vast area, making them especially effective against dense clusters of small targets. Neither swarms of low-level creatures nor scattered enemies could escape the onslaught of this gale.

Of course, such a powerful area attack had its obvious limitations. First, it consud a great deal of the caster’s Spiritual Power. Second, although Gale Strike could inflict widespread damage, its impact against a single, strong enemy was relatively weak. Against foes with high Life Energy or solid Defense, Gale Strike might not be deadly enough and would need to be combined with other skills to achieve victory.

The second skill, the Spiritual Guardian’s Heart Arrow, was recomnded to Fang Zhou by Bai Xiaochan. Although Instructor Su Xinyan was not particularly optimistic about it, viewing it as sowhat plain compared to other skills, Fang Zhou considered it a worthwhile option. After all, it was just an apprentice-level skill and didn’t require many contribution points. The effect of Heart Arrow was very direct: the caster condensed their Spirit Attribute Energy into sharp arrows and fired them at enemies with astonishing speed. These arrows were not only extrely fast but also had strong penetration, capable of easily piercing an enemy’s armor or barriers to deliver direct, lethal damage if there was no specific counter-defense. However, since Heart Arrow relied entirely on the caster’s own Spiritual Power and couldn’t be boosted by external energy, its single-target damage was relatively limited. This ant that against enemies with powerful defenses or abundant Life Energy, Heart Arrow might struggle to inflict a decisive blow.

The third was the Telekinesis Master’s Telekinesis Shock. It bore a striking similarity to the ntal Shock skill Fang Zhou had comprehended from the Fierce Ant Queen’s Magic Crystal during its Purification. As a foundational skill, Telekinesis Shock had already been developed to a highly refined stage within the Telekinesis Master profession. The core of the skill was to release a powerful wave of spiritual energy, forming an invisible shockwave that damaged surrounding enemies. The attack range of Telekinesis Shock was wide and nearly impossible to defend against with conventional ans, making it an extrely threatening weapon on the battlefield. However, Telekinesis Shock required a large amount of Spiritual Power and had a brief preparation ti before casting. This ant the caster was in a relatively vulnerable state while using it. Without adequate protection, an enemy could easily seize the opportunity to interrupt the casting or launch a counterattack. Despite these limitations, because Telekinesis Shock had been developed and perfected over a long period, it offered multiple paths for advancent. This accumulated experience and knowledge was an exceedingly valuable resource for Fang Zhou. By drawing on these fruits of wisdom, he could find more inspiration and new directions for his own ntal Shock skill, perhaps even creating a more powerful variant.

Another noteworthy skill was the Ice Mage’s signature ability—Ice Cone. This skill allowed the caster to summon a large number of sharp ice cones, which fell like rain over a wide area, inflicting high Ice Attribute damage. Ice Cone was renowned for its outstanding area-of-effect damage, capable of quickly clearing out groups of enemies while also freezing their movent and slowing their speed. However, Ice Cone also had its drawbacks: its casting ti was relatively long, and it consud a massive amount of Spiritual Power. Bai Xiaochan had recomnded Ice Cone because she believed Fang Zhou could draw inspiration from it, particularly regarding its area attack techniques.

Telekinesis Shock, Gale Strike, Heart Arrow, and Ice Cone. Each skill ca with a detailed set of Skill Insights, which docunted usage techniques and cultivation secrets.

Originally, these four skills and their insights would have cost a total of 80 contribution points. However, with his 70% discount privilege, he only spent 24 contribution points to acquire all four skills and their corresponding Skill Insights, loading them onto his personal terminal.

After importing the newly acquired skills, Fang Zhou imdiately began to integrate and synthesize them. At that mont, a conspicuous prompt appeared in the Skills Bar on his attribute panel.

"Sufficient Skill Materials have been accumulated. Fusion and refinent of the skills Skeleton Arrow Rain and ntal Shock can now be deduced."

"Estimated cost: 80 Soul Power. Begin deduction?"

Fang Zhou carefully checked his Soul Power reserves. He had accumulated a great deal of it over the past few days by having his Skeleton Clone kill monsters to level up. A re 80 Soul Power was sothing he could easily afford.

Thus, he unhesitatingly chose to confirm.

Attribute panel, begin the deduction!

Instantly, 80 points of Soul Power ignited a storm in his mind, like a spark thrown into a furnace.

Fang Zhou closed his eyes as the essence and insights of the various skills surged into his mind like a tidal wave. There was the invisible yet lethal strike of Telekinesis Shock. The pervasive and ferocious erosion of Gale Strike. The lightning speed and potent penetration of Heart Arrow, which could ignore enemy armor to strike at their vitals. And Ice Cone, a paradigm of tightly integrating Spiritual Power with external elents.

In this burst of inspiration, the strengths and advantages of these four Skill Materials flickered continuously through his mind. He combined these concepts with the existing magic models for Skeleton Arrow Rain and ntal Shock, following the Skill Deduction frawork provided by Instructor Su Xinyan and Bai Xiaochan. In that mont, countless sparks of inspiration erupted in his mind.

Soon, these ideas fused together, forming a completely new skill.

Just as Fang Zhou was imrsed in this process, a new prompt popped up in his Skills Bar.

"Skill fusion successful. Would you like to na the new skill?"

A smile touched Fang Zhou’s lips, and his eyes glead with joy.
