Chapter 300 The Ning Clan's Legacy: Potential Surges!
Su Xinyan knew very well that her smooth growth to where she was today was inseparable from her own necromancer talent.
However, there is another point that cannot be ignored: she has a father who is a legendary warrior, who provides her with a constant stream of support.
Nevertheless, once he reached the Golden stage, even as a legendary warrior, Su Tiankuo could hardly provide any more powerful and effective help for his daughter.
This is also the biggest dilemma Su Xinyan is currently facing.
In Su Xinyan's view, even if she could persuade her father, Su Tiankuo, to continue providing the same level of assistance to his junior apprentice, Fang Zhou, she wouldn't be confident that she could successfully raise another undead attribute black gem dragon that could be described as a money-devouring behemoth.
With these thoughts in mind, Instructor Su Xinyan naturally expressed her concerns in a tactful way.
"Fang Zhou, Major General Ning Danxin's reminder is very important."
While it will still be some time before the black gem dragon egg hatches, you should carefully consider your options and make a prudent decision.
If you can't provide enough undead attribute resources, at best you'll waste the Black Gem Dragon, a spirit pet with immense potential; at worst, it will greatly slow down your own cultivation progress, causing irreparable negative consequences.
Although Su Xinyan didn't say it explicitly, Fang Zhou could naturally tell what his dear instructor was really thinking.
After weighing the pros and cons, she really hoped that Ark could give her future spirit pet a more ordinary attribute.
After all, even the most ordinary fire-attribute black gem baby dragon can provide great assistance to the Ark.
It must be admitted that Major General Ning Danxin and Instructor Su Xinyan were both putting themselves in Fangzhou's shoes and offering well-intentioned reminders.
However, they were unaware of the true source of Ark's rise to power.
Just before attending the funeral, Ark's skeleton avatar discovered a brand new Netherworld mine in the Corpse Hills of the Underworld.
Although the reserves are relatively scarce, this is a very good sign.
This once again proves Ark's previous conjecture.
Undead attribute resources, which are rare even on Earth and in mythological worlds, are readily available in the realm of the dead.
As long as Ark can find a stable and efficient way to build a resource transfer channel between its main body and its clones, then the vast and inexhaustible treasure trove of resources in the Netherworld will open its doors to him, allowing him to freely explore and utilize it.
At that time, he could afford to raise not just one undead black gem dragon, but even five or ten more. However, despite the turmoil in his heart, Fangzhou's face remained calm.
He naturally wouldn't reveal his true thoughts to the public.
He then looked thoughtful, nodded, and said to Ning Danxin, "Major General Ning, I will carefully consider your suggestion."
Don't worry, I certainly won't waste your kindness.
Su Xinyan thought for a moment and said to Fang Zhou, "Fang Zhou, the environment in your dormitory is indeed difficult to meet the incubation requirements of this dragon egg."
Instead, we'd like to entrust it to our necromancer research group. I will personally apply for resources from the military academy to create an incubation room perfectly suited for the growth of the Black Gem Dragon Egg.
There, we will be able to better monitor its growth and ensure it thrives in a healthy environment.
This will also provide us with a valuable research opportunity, allowing us to gain a deeper understanding of the unique connection between necromancers and their spirit pets.
She said with a hint of envy, "After all, not every necromancer is as lucky as you, Fangzhou, to get the perfect black gem dragon egg to raise as a spirit pet."
Fang Zhou nodded and asked with some curiosity, "Instructor Xin Yan, why didn't you find a spirit pet to train back then?"
Su Xinyan frowned slightly and said, "Do you think spirit pets are so easy to obtain?"
This kind of spirit pet that requires a master-servant contract is not comparable to the pearl bird you could easily seal with that sealing bone bell.
Spirit beasts that possess a certain level of intelligence and are willing to coexist with humans are already rare.
High-quality spirit pets that can truly assist us professionals are extremely rare, one in a hundred.
They possess their own wisdom and will, and will not easily establish a master-servant relationship with humans.
Even a powerful figure like Major General Ning must have made tremendous efforts and sacrifices for this black gem dragon egg.
Therefore, Ark, you should cherish this rare opportunity and nurture your spirit pet with care, making it your strongest support.
At this moment, Lu Hu chimed in, "Yes, high-quality spirit pets are extremely rare."
Even more valuable is that Major General Ning Danxin has also prepared a suitable master-servant contract for you.
I once captured a silver-tier tiger-type spirit beast in the mythical world.
However, since this spirit beast was already an adult, its personality was far too unruly and difficult to tame.
I tried several different pet contracts but failed to subdue it, so I had no choice but to release it back into the wild.
Major General Ning has considered all factors for you this time, essentially giving you a rare spirit pet that can at least reach the level of a Glory Champion.
You must not let Major General Ning down.
Fang Zhou nodded solemnly, gaining a deeper understanding of the value of the black gemstone dragon egg in his arms. He realized that Ning Danxin and Instructor Lu Hu's reminders were not unfounded, but rather for his future.
Seeing Fang Zhou's serious expression, Ning Danxin comforted him, "Fang Zhou, you don't need to feel too much pressure."
I believe that with your talent and ability, this black gem dragon egg is just icing on the cake for you.
Perhaps its greatest stroke of luck in life is meeting you as its owner.
Ning Danxin's words warmed Fang Zhou's heart, and he said gratefully, "Thank you for your trust, Major General Ning. I will definitely take good care of this dragon egg and make it my capable assistant."
Ning Danxin continued, "By the way, I heard from Instructor Lu Hu that you obtained a Berserker Spirit Mark from your grandfather's spirit."
Can I experience the effect?
When Ning Danxin mentioned the mark of the heroic spirit, her tone carried a hint of curiosity and awe.
The Mark of Heroes is an extremely rare soul artifact; even Ning Danxin, a champion-level powerhouse, has only seen it a few times.
Moreover, the Berserker Heroic Spirit Mark that Fangzhou possesses originated from her grandfather, General Ning Feihu.
For Ning Danxin, the significance was even more extraordinary. Fang Zhou nodded, his gaze sweeping across the spacious and simple conference room.
Then, he stood in the center of the conference room, and with a crisp snap of his fingers, tiny ripples of energy spread through the air, summoning a skull.
Then he activated the Berserker Spirit Mark deep within his soul, using this ordinary skeleton as a vessel to summon the Berserker Spirit Olaf.
Ning Danxin's eyes lit up slightly as she looked at the ferocious-looking skeleton wielding two axes.
She stared intently at Olaf, clearly sensing the familiar berserker bloodline power swirling around him twice. Ning Danxin asked with interest, "Fangzhou, how strong is this berserker spirit?"
Fangzhou replied, "Major General Ning, I call this berserker spirit Olaf."
Olaf is incredibly powerful. He not only inherited part of the Berserker class's skill tree, but also possesses some inherited combat experience and battle command techniques.
Whether as the vanguard charging into battle in my skeleton army or as a general commanding from the rear, Olaf is capable of both.
"Of course," Fang Zhou changed the subject, "since I am currently still in the apprentice stage, Olaf's strength is also somewhat limited."
It can only be summoned using a skeleton as a vessel, which makes its combat power limited by the racial combat power coefficient.
Moreover, as an apprentice-level Berserker Heroic Spirit, it can currently only use the abilities in the Golden Body skill tree.
However, as my own strength increases, Olaf will be able to provide me with extremely powerful assistance until I reach the rank of Gold Archmage.
After listening to Fang Zhou's introduction, Ning Danxin's eyes flashed with a burning light.
She clenched her fists, nodded excitedly, and said, "Fangzhou, then let Olaf spar with me."
Feeling its pure berserker aura, my fighting spirit inexplicably surged.
Ning Danxin's request was quite reasonable, and Fang Zhou naturally wouldn't refuse.
At this moment, Su Xinyan behind him suggested, "Major General Ning, Olaf is not at his peak yet. Ark has developed a new skill called 'Death Coronation,' which can gather the power of his other undead summons into Olaf, greatly enhancing his combat abilities."
If you're interested, you can try it out.
Upon hearing this, Ning Danxin couldn't help but clench her fist and laughed, "Oh, does the Ark have this kind of skill?"
What are we waiting for?
"Ark, cast your spell with all your might. I want to see just how powerful Olaf truly is, and whether he has disgraced my grandfather's spirit."
Since Major General Ning Danxin had given the order, Fang Zhou naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.
He first summoned a hundred apprentice-level skeletons, then drank a bottle of mental energy recovery potion, activated the transcendent affix on Seed 1, and used the "Calm and Composed" skill to restore his mental energy to full.
Then, he summoned fifty skeletons.
Immediately afterwards, Ark unleashed the "Bone Blade" skill, fully arming and enhancing the 150 skeletons.
He then unleashed "Brutal Aura" and "Iron Wall Aura," maximizing the combat power of his skeleton army.
Finally, he activated the "Coronation of Death" skill, connecting Olaf and his army of skeletons to the same energy field, giving Olaf the most powerful enhancement.
Under such spellcasting, Olaf, in his "Death Coronation" state, reached the pinnacle of his combat power.
Instructor Ning Danxin watched Fang Zhou cast his spell, and a look of shock involuntarily appeared on her face.
As a seasoned veteran who rose through the ranks in blood and fire, she had seen countless geniuses and powerful individuals.
But no one could leave such a deep impression on her during her apprenticeship as Fangzhou.
The crystal ball can summon hundreds of apprentice-level skeletons by shaking.
There are also a constant stream of aura-boosting skills.
In addition, there's the "Death Coronation" skill, which unites the scattered and brings everyone together.
Fangzhou's every spellcasting action exceeded Ning Danxin's original expectations.
Ning Danxin carefully observed Olaf's changes.
Its already imposing body became even larger, its entire body shimmering with a ghostly blue light, and every inch of its bones brimming with explosive power.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's like a small army amassed in one person; it's truly amazing!"
As Olaf's aura grew even more surging than before, the entire conference room seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure. This aura contained the chilling coldness of death and the ferocious fighting spirit, instilling a sense of awe in everyone present.
Ning Danxin stood opposite Olaf, her expression more solemn than ever before.
With eyes fixed on the berserker hero spirit, who had been enhanced multiple times by the Ark, he was filled with anticipation and a desire for challenge.
Originally limited by the inferior racial combat coefficient of the Skull race, Olaf's aura, though powerful, was not resilient enough in Ning Danxin's perception.
After being strengthened by Ark multiple times, Olaf's strength has undergone a dramatic transformation compared to before.
Its skeletal double axes gleamed coldly in the dim light, as if they could cleave through any obstacle in the world.
The chilling aura of death's coronation surrounded him as if it were a tangible presence, giving one a sense of being summoned from the realm of the dead.
The aura of brutality filled the air with a chilling savagery and fear, as if it could tear apart even the most resilient will.
The Iron Wall Aura, on the other hand, cloaked him in an indestructible armor, allowing him to stand firm even in the face of the fiercest attacks, like an immortal war god on the battlefield.
Ning Danxin slowed her breathing and did not take out her weapon, standing bare-handed in front of Olaf.
When sparring with Olaf, who was at the upper-level apprentice level, Ning Danxin naturally suppressed her strength to that level as well, making her almost identical to Olaf. Although she had a series of passive skills, combat experience, and even the Berserker class expertise, Ning Danxin had done her best to be fair.
The battle has begun!
With her rich combat experience and keen intuition, Ning Danxin quickly found Olaf's weakness.
She moved with incredible agility, darting around Olaf like a ghost, each dodge perfectly avoiding his fierce attacks.
Olaf, relying on the combat experience he inherited from Ning Feihu, launched a series of fierce attacks, attempting to drive Ning Danxin into a desperate situation.
The two sides exchanged blows for nearly ten minutes.
Olaf maintained a stalemate for a time, demonstrating formidable fighting prowess.
However, Ning Danxin did not give Olaf many opportunities.
Once she figured out Olaf's fighting style, Olaf was put at a disadvantage.
