Chen Qingshan waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Someone, get Fang Zhou a bottle of Spiritual Recovery Potion."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou felt even more envious of Ye Fan's research group.
The Spiritual Recovery Potion, as the name suggests, greatly accelerates the recovery of spiritual power after consumption.
Although not as precious as the Soul Calming Potion, it still requires E-level permissions.
Fang Zhou and the other junior sergeant freshmen have no way to exchange for it on their own.
Fang Zhou took the bottle handed to him by a researcher and glanced at it briefly. It contained a colorless, transparent liquid.
Drinking it in one go, a soothing sensation spread from his mind.
Fang Zhou sat cross-legged, and soon, under the stimulation of the potion, his spiritual power recovered to about thirty percent.
Then he stood up and signaled to several instructors.
Under Chen Qingshan's arrangement, a fully functional test dummy was brought onto the training ground.
Fang Zhou stood in front of the test dummy and began to unleash the Skeleton Flying Spear skill.
With the consumption of spiritual power, a spear about 1.5 meters long, completely white and made of bone, floated in front of Fang Zhou.
Under his spiritual power control, the Skeleton Flying Spear shot toward the test dummy in the training ground at an incredibly swift speed.
Whiz!
With a sharp whooshing sound, the Skeleton Flying Spear crashed into the test dummy.
Crack.
The Skeleton Flying Spear shattered inch by inch, and the display screen on the test dummy flashed violently.
"Attack Power 85!"
Seeing this, the researchers gasped in surprise.
For an apprentice-tier skill, the damage of the Skeleton Flying Spear definitely counted as top-notch.
Previously, the Storm Mage Gu Zhiqiu's Chain Wind Energy Missile had an attack power of just 72.
Next, under the testing of these professional researchers, Fang Zhou also demonstrated the spiritual power consumption, casting range, and flight speed attributes of the Skeleton Flying Spear skill.
After comprehensive evaluation, the attributes of the Skeleton Flying Spear far surpassed the Death Missile, Touch of Corrosion, and other Undead Mage attack skills of the same tier.
It can be said that at the Apprentice Stage, the appearance of this skill thoroughly compensates for the lack of direct attack capabilities of Undead Mages.
Subsequently, Fang Zhou demonstrated the defensive capabilities of the Skeleton Shield.
At the researcher's suggestion, he condensed a Skeleton Shield and suspended it in front of him.
The test dummy slowly gathered energy and punched out.
Crack.
After a brief stalemate, the Skeleton Shield shattered into dust.
And on the test dummy's display screen, several large characters appeared.
"Defense Power 80!"
It seemed the defense power of the Skeleton Shield wasn't as high as the attack power of the Skeleton Flying Spear.
But it was already stronger than Earth Knight Zhao Yuan's Rock Will.
Attack matching the Storm Mage, defense matching the Earth Knight.
If Fang Zhou hadn't demonstrated again and again, no instructor or researcher would have believed that such formidable skills were independently developed by an apprentice-tier Undead Mage.
In the silence, Lu Hu couldn't help but exclaim, "Fang Zhou, you were simply born to be an Undead Mage!
With these two skills, the combat power of an Undead Mage is definitely top tier at the Apprentice Stage.
If you continue to tap into your potential, you might even create an entire Skeleton Series skill tree."
Hearing this, Fang Zhou nodded slightly. This was exactly what he was working on.
In the presence of all the instructors and researchers, Fang Zhou uploaded the Skeleton Flying Spear and Skeleton Shield, both skills he developed, to the Human Alliance Skill Library.
"Ding dong, Junior Sergeant Fang Zhou, 200 contribution points have been credited to your account.
As the developer of the new skills, 50% of the subsequent exchange fees for these skills will become your personal income.
Thank you for your contribution to humanity!"
With the melodious prompt from the personal terminal, Fang Zhou happily received 200 contribution points.
All the instructors looked at Fang Zhou with a bit of envy.
Being able to independently develop new skills is one in ten thousand.
It represents an accumulation of talent and hard work.
Besides envy, they were full of admiration.
"Fang Zhou, with so many contribution points, how do you plan to use them?" Lu Hu asked from the side.
"Instructor, I want to continue developing Skeleton Series control skills and displacement skills, but I'm running out of inspiration.
Later, I plan to exchange for some related skills of other Magic Professionals to expand my knowledge base and see if I can get some inspiration."
Lu Hu nodded.
"You're right, but I must remind you of one thing.
As a beginner, your energy is limited, and biting off more than you can chew is a big taboo.
Skills aren't about having as many as possible, but rather about being refined and powerful.
Even though you are a genius, you must pay attention to this point."
Fang Zhou nodded seriously, remembering Lu Hu's words.
Since entering the school, Lu Hu had been very caring towards him.
Fang Zhou was someone who distinguished clearly between gratitude and resentment, and he naturally remembered the kindness shown to him.
Lu Hu continued, "You're probably also aware of the seed list, right?
If you can become a seed of the Sea City Military Academy, you will enjoy more resource support, which will be very beneficial for your personal growth.
The upcoming Simulation Battlefield is a very crucial phase.
You must prepare diligently and fully demonstrate your talents.
If you have extra contribution points, consider exchanging for some apprentice-tier equipment.
Although they require a fair amount of contribution points, they can accelerate the cultivation speed and enhance combat ability, making them worthwhile.
For example, as you experienced earlier, a Magic Staff can enhance magic power, while rings and necklaces can increase the spiritual power limit and accelerate spiritual power recovery."
Hearing this, Fang Zhou felt a slight stir in his heart.
Earlier, using the Apprentice Magic Staff indeed provided a certain degree of enhancement in both casting speed and magic effect.
It seems that to enhance combat power next, in addition to working on four-dimensional attributes and skills, exchanging for equipment should be prioritized.
Seeing Fang Zhou deep in thought, Lu Hu encouraged him, "Rest assured, your talent is evident to all.
Instructor Chen and I will report your performance today to the school authorities.
If things go smoothly, perhaps in the future, you too could have a research team like Ye Fan."
Fang Zhou felt a surge of joy in his heart.
Instructor Lu Hu was a very reliable person, and since he said so, there was some confidence in it.
It seems that showcasing his talent today was indeed the right move.
...
In the principal's office, Lu Hu, pulling Chen Qingshan along, was happily reporting today's events to Su Tiankuo.
"Skeleton Flying Spear? Skeleton Shield?
Fang Zhou, a mere apprentice, was able to develop an entire Skeleton Series skill tree."
After watching the combat footage of Fang Zhou and Ye Fan from today, Su Tiankuo looked slightly shocked.
Even for him, once a legendary powerhouse, with vast experience and perseverance, he had never thought that Fang Zhou would have such a dazzling performance.
Within a single day, mastering meditation and summoning 20 skeletons could only reflect Fang Zhou's talent and combat prowess.
Yet it was far from the impact of Fang Zhou independently developing two new skills, which brought immense shock to Su Tiankuo.
