At this moment, within the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge.
More than a dozen flashes of lightning streaked by.
Accompanied by a series of wolf howls, they vanished into the air.
"Another remnant soul." Jiang Yuan looked at the few remnant souls in his Netherworld Space, frowning slightly, a hint of disappointment on his face.
The output rate of spirit souls was simply too low.
But it was normal; after all, so many demon beasts had died before, and not many spirit souls were produced.
When he caused the lightning disaster outside Bo City, thousands of demon beasts died on the battlefield.
No one on the battlefield had the ability to collect spirit souls, and Mo Fan was not on the battlefield at the time.
Jiang Yuan then used his Netherworld Space to collect all those remnant souls and spirit souls.
He then fused all the remnant souls into spirit souls.
Jiang Yuan used these spirit souls to strengthen all his Basic Spells to Level 4.
His Water System Basic Spell was even strengthened to Level 5.
All his Intermediate Spells were strengthened to Level 4.
Looking at the ground covered with the corpses of One-Eyed Magic Wolves and Three-Eyed Magic Wolves, Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, and gray star-dust formed a Star-Orbit around him.
Undead System Basic Spell—Undead Summoning.
Aside from when he first awakened, he finally used Undead System magic again today.
As the Netherworld light flickered, a Skeleton Soldier holding a large saber slowly stood up amidst the cold, desolate aura.
Unlike the Skeleton Soldier he saw the first time, this Skeleton Soldier was taller, with eerie ghost fire burning in its eye sockets.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuan was a little surprised.
He hadn't actually summoned any other Undead; he was still calling upon the very first Skeleton Soldier in the Netherworld.
In other words, this Skeleton Soldier was the former Skeleton Soldier, but it was now in an advancement phase.
In a short while, it would very likely become a Commander-level Skeleton Soldier.
The Skeleton Soldier gnashed its teeth, making a clacking sound.
"You finally know to call me, huh?"
"Do you know what I went through in the Netherworld?"
"It seems you are also an ambitious Skeleton Soldier; after so long, you're almost advancing to Commander-level," Jiang Yuan said in surprise.
Thinking back to when he was scared by the Skeleton Soldier, he found it even more amusing.
It was best not to let anyone else know about this dark history.
Jiang Yuan took out a Commander-level spirit soul from his Netherworld Space and walked over to a wolf skeleton.
He waved his hand, signaling the Skeleton Soldier to come over.
"You absorb this spirit soul, and then refine most of the wolf bones here," Jiang Yuan instructed.
As an Undead Skeleton, the conditions for advancement were to absorb spirit souls to enhance its soul strength, and then refine stronger bone materials to strengthen its own bones.
This Skeleton Soldier's intelligence was clearly not low; upon hearing this, the ghost fire in its eye sockets suddenly flickered.
It then took the spirit soul and began strengthening its soul.
Jiang Yuan, meanwhile, selected suitable wolf bones for the Skeleton Soldier to refine.
The sun set in the west.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Gray aura permeated the area, and a massive figure slowly stood up from it, reaching a height of three meters!
Its skeleton glowed with a chilling light, its arms became thicker, and even its fingers were lined with sharp bone claws like wolf claws, faintly emitting a metallic sheen.
The most terrifying part was its skull; it was a mutated human skull with three eyes, and its shape was even rougher.
In its three eye sockets, two eyes burned with eerie green ghost fire.
Although the third eye was empty, a mysterious power seemed to flow within it, as if it could see through the souls of the living.
It looked like an Undead formed from a Three-Eyed Magic Wolf, and the aura it emitted made even the One-Eyed Magic Wolves in the distance avoid it!
"Not bad, not bad, very handsome!" Jiang Yuan said happily.
Not only was it handsome, but its level had also reached Commander-level.
It was a true minor Commander Undead!
Now, the Undead System could be considered a major combat force for him.
If he was willing to cultivate it, feeding it a few more Commander-level spirit souls and refining a few more Three-Eyed Magic Wolf skeletons.
At that time, it would directly become a Great Commander-level Undead; even an Intermediate Mage would not be its opponent!
One must know that Mo Fan's Old Wolf was only Servant-level when he first entered Mingzhu Academy!
Jiang Yuan immediately decided to use this opportunity in the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge to elevate this Skeleton Soldier to Great Commander-level.
No, it couldn't be called a Skeleton Soldier anymore.
He should think of a nicer name.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment: "Three eyes... calling it Yang Jian isn't appropriate; it would be too demeaning for the Illustrious Sage True Monarch Erlang, and besides, you are an Undead. Hmm, how about Three-Eyed Nether General? What do you think?"
"Clack, clack~"
The Three-Eyed Nether General gnashed its jaw, conveying its agreement.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan corrected: "If you agree, just nod; you don't need to open your mouth."
The Three-Eyed Nether General seemed to understand and yet not understand, and gnashed its jaw again.
"Clack, clack~"
"..."
"Nod, do you understand nodding? Like this."
"Clack, clack~"
"...Then just nod like that, but you should throw away that saber," Jiang Yuan compromised.
Bone claws were much more powerful than a big saber; surely it should throw that away.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the Three-Eyed Nether General raised its saber, tilted its arm back, and then flung it forward sharply.
With a "whoosh," the saber flew rapidly through the air.
It finally landed in the distant bushes.
Immediately after, the Three-Eyed Nether General walked over and pulled out a wolf corpse from the bushes.
The wolf corpse's head had clearly been severed by the saber!
This move was actually using the saber as a ranged weapon!
Witnessing this scene, Jiang Yuan knew that this Three-Eyed Nether General had its own unique understanding.
No wonder it was doing so well in the Netherworld.
It turned out to be the National Server Flying Knife King!
Jiang Yuan didn't plan to say anything more. After dismissing the Undead Summoning and sending the Three-Eyed Nether General back to the Netherworld, he found a safe place to sleep for the night.
For the following period, Jiang Yuan continuously roamed within the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge.
It was only recently that the demon-hunting teams who came to hunt demons were surprised to find that the number of Magic Wolves in the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge was decreasing significantly.
Even the numbers of demon beasts like Giant-Eyed Blood Rats and Blood-striped Giant Demon Rats had greatly reduced.
Some hunters found many lingering Undead auras throughout the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge.
Thus, they came to a conclusion: a powerful Undead had appeared in the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge and was hunting Magic Wolves everywhere.
Undead always liked to slaughter living beings, so this situation was quite normal.
It was just that no one knew where this Undead came from.
Some people took on bounties to hunt the Undead in the Magic Wolf Mountain Ridge, but this Undead was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing unpredictably; only a very few hunters had ever seen its figure.
...
...
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
Magic City, Mingzhu Academy.
Jiang Yuan arrived at Mingzhu Academy on the last day of this year's enrollment.
Once he missed today, he would only be able to enter Mingzhu Academy through the special talent enrollment channel.
Abbreviated as special enrollment.
And special enrollment usually referred to students with special talents.
Such as Summoning System mages, mages with innate talents, and so on.
The vast majority of students entered the academy through regular enrollment channels.
Only a small number of students entered through special enrollment.
The enrollment location was set up within Mingzhu Academy.
Jiang Yuan chose not to participate in the formal college entrance examination unified trial, but instead opted for the more challenging interview examination, which required higher personal abilities.
When Mo Fan entered Mingzhu Academy, he also chose the interview examination.
Arriving at the interview location, Jiang Yuan decided to use his Undead System for the examination.
After all, like the Summoning System, as long as it was reasonably good, it would definitely allow one to enter the academy.
