Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone-Chapter 462 - 338: Enchantment [Contract], Mutated Skeleton Divine Archer!
The Dragon Soul Crystal was even more effective and had a higher compatibility with Spirit Pets from powerful bloodlines, such as the Dragon Race’s Black Gem Young Dragon. A single Dragon Soul Crystal cost 200 contribution points, so Fang Zhou added it to his exchange list.
Next, Fang Zhou continued to search the resource libraries. However, even after combing through the repositories of all ten military academies, he could not find the final material he needed: Pure Life Fire. Pure Life Fire was primarily used to accelerate the Black Gem Dragon Egg’s absorption of other Undead Attribute hatching materials. According to Instructor Su Xinyan’s estimates, with the help of Pure Life Fire, a Black Iron Black Gem Young Dragon would hatch in less than half a year. Lacking this crucial material, the hatching time would likely be greatly extended. Fortunately, Fang Zhou could afford to wait.
From another perspective, the three materials Fang Zhou planned to exchange for added up to exactly 500 contribution points, using up the entire reward granted to the new recruit tournament champion by the ten military academies. Once the exchange was complete, the materials would be delivered to Fang Zhou through a special internal channel connecting the academies. The shortest estimated delivery time was three days, while the longest was a week.
After handling this matter, Fang Zhou chatted for a while with the three female instructors, each with their own unique charm. Soon after, a messenger robot from the Sea City Military Academy’s logistics department arrived at the Undead Mage Research Group, delivering the materials for the Contract Enchantment affix.
Under Instructor Su Xinyan’s guidance, Fang Zhou began the Enchantment process. As the flames in the Alchemy Furnace intensified, Fang Zhou placed the newly obtained Longxia Blade Medal inside. The temperature within the furnace rose, and the materials slowly fused, emitting a faint glow. Following Instructor Su Xinyan’s instructions, he gently tapped the medal with the Alchemy Hammer. Each tap was accompanied by a soft metallic ring, and the glow on the medal’s surface flickered in response. Over time, the materials in the Alchemy Furnace merged completely with the medal, which began to emit an increasingly intense light.
Under the amazed gazes of Instructors Huang Qiuyue and Shen Hongyu, Fang Zhou completed the final step of the Enchantment. He took out the medal and set it aside to cool. The light on its surface gradually faded, eventually becoming stable.
Fang Zhou then picked up the cooled Longxia Blade Medal and examined the description in the Marvel section of his attribute panel:
[Contract · Longxia Blade Medal] (Blue Fine, Marvel): An honorary medal awarded by the Longxia Federation’s military to elite Warriors. It slightly enhances the main Attributes of Silver-Tier and below Professionals. It can store up to three Direct Damage Skills per day, with the Skills not exceeding the user’s Tier. It is enchanted with the [Contract] affix, which slightly enhances your Summoning Skills, increasing the quantity and quality of your Summoned Creatures.
Fang Zhou could feel a subtle power strengthening his Summon Skeleton Skill. If he were to cast it now, the quantity and quality of the Skeletons would surely improve to some extent.
Su Xinyan took the enchanted Longxia Blade Medal from Fang Zhou, inspected it thoroughly, and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad," she said. "You’ve successfully mastered the Enchantment technique. It seems your Alchemy has already reached a proficient level. If your own strength weren’t limiting your potential, I’d be calling you a Basic Level Alchemist by now."
Instructor Shen Hongyu shook her head and sighed softly. "Fang Zhou, your Talent is truly terrifying. Not only do you excel in your main Profession as an Undead Mage, but your aptitude in the Sub-profession of Alchemy is also quite remarkable. When I was at your level, I couldn’t even imagine having the energy to pursue a Sub-profession. Just the daily Meditation was excruciatingly painful, and my progress was very slow."
Fang Zhou smiled faintly, knowing his extraordinary performance was all thanks to the attribute panel. He didn’t linger on the topic. Instead, he looked at Instructors Huang Qiuyue and Shen Hongyu and said, "Now that the new recruit tournament is over, my focus will return to daily Cultivation. In addition to my routine Cultivation, I need to break through my bottleneck and advance to Black Iron as soon as possible. We can also resume our previous research project on Professional skeletal regeneration."
About a month ago, after Sea City Military Academy had confirmed its contestants for the tournament, Instructor Shen Hongyu and Shen Ziwei proactively suggested that Fang Zhou pause the skeletal regeneration project experiments. Their goal was to allow him to concentrate fully on the upcoming new recruit tournament and strive for a higher ranking for the academy. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Now, the tournament had come to a satisfactory conclusion. Under Fang Zhou’s leadership, Sea City Military Academy had secured the number one spot. Naturally, this meant they could once again dedicate a portion of their energy to the skeletal regeneration project.
Hearing this, Instructor Shen Hongyu looked excited. "Alright, no problem," she said. "I’ll notify Ziwei to report to you as soon as I get back. Thank you so much, Fang Zhou."
One couldn’t blame Instructor Shen Hongyu for her excitement. After all, Fang Zhou had already made breakthrough progress in his bone regeneration experiments on low-tier Demons like trolls, goblins, and kobolds. The biomimetic bones he condensed from Undead Energy, nourished by the power of a Life Crystal, were already capable of temporarily coexisting within these low-level Demons.
