Chapter 203 Transcendent Ascension, the Prototype of the Necromancer God (Minor Revisions)
Su Xinyan seemed to have thought of something, and then snorted coldly, saying, "Perfect, you can watch the alchemists' skills from the side."
It's not like those silly blacksmiths who only know how to swing their hammers all day long.
It's as stupid and clumsy as a bear, utterly devoid of any aesthetic appeal!
Fang Zhou obediently handed over his number one seed medal and the box of star dewdrops, without responding to Su Xinyan's words.
He was somewhat confused; what was Su Xinyan trying to prove?
It's probably because Instructor Huang Qiuyue showed off her skills in front of everyone that he had the idea of taking on a side job as a blacksmith.
This is what made Su Xinyan, who has a strong competitive spirit, want to compete with others.
After all, Fangzhou was telling her yesterday that he wanted to learn alchemy.
To this end, they even made a bet that he would break through the apprenticeship and become a higher-ranking official within a month.
Unexpectedly, Fang Zhou betrayed the alchemist's bright path and wanted to learn blacksmithing instead.
In Su Xinyan's view, this was simply betraying one's master and ancestors, turning the light to darkness, and was utterly unacceptable!
So she put all her effort into preparing a magnificent enchanting feast for Ark, hoping to firmly hold onto the heart of this young apprentice.
Having understood what Su Xinyan was struggling with, Fang Zhou naturally played along with her performance.
Su Xinyan took the materials Fang Zhou handed her, breathed a sigh of relief, and began the final adjustments and preparations before officially performing alchemy and enchanting.
Fang Zhou's eyes flickered as he casually surveyed the somewhat mysterious alchemy workshop.
In the center of the workshop, a huge workbench made of ancient oak takes center stage, with various alchemy tools and materials laid out on it.
Su Xinyan stood in front of this worktable, her long, smooth hair tied up with a simple hairband.
She had just put on a specially made alchemist's robe over her fitted black dress; the robe's fabric was embroidered with intricate runes.
Under the watchful eye of the Ark, Instructor Su Xinyan first opened a small box made of obsidian and poured the liquid star dew from the vessel's blood into it.
A faint, eerie light appeared, and the liquid in this ring slowly concentrated and solidified, gradually turning into a gel.
Then, Su Xinyan gently picked up a gel-like [Star Dew] with tweezers.
This dewdrop is small and exquisite, radiating a faint silvery light.
A soft blue-white light emanated from her palm; it was the projection of her spiritual power.
She enveloped the Star Dewdrop in the light, causing it to levitate in mid-air and slowly rotate.
Next, she placed the Seed No. 1 Medal on the worktable.
Su Xinyan's eyes were fixed on the medals and dewdrops, and she silently recited the precise alchemy formula in her mind.
Her hands began to trace intricate alchemical symbols in the air, each movement precise to the millimeter.
As the symbol was completed, a thin, thread-like energy link extended from her fingertips, connecting the [Star Dewdrop] with […].
[Number One Seed Medal]
Her spiritual energy surged forth like a flood, flowing into the [Seed Medal Number One] along the link.
At the same time, the [Star Dewdrop] burst forth with dazzling light.
All the silver light was drawn away in an instant and poured into the medal.
As the light subsided, the [Seed No. 1 Medal] underwent a stunning change.
Its surface began to emit a faint, almost transparent blue light.
Those originally static totems seemed to come alive, slowly flowing and eventually forming an exquisite cyclical pattern.
Fangzhou suddenly realized that this was the sign of the successful use of the "Transcendent" affix!
It not only gives the medal the ability to store spiritual energy, but also allows the wearer to use this power in battle to gain superhuman insight and reaction speed.
At this moment, Su Xinyan looked at her masterpiece and a satisfied smile spread across her face.
After carefully checking and confirming that the [Transcendent] affix enchantment effect was stable, she gently placed the [Seed Medal No. 1] into a specially made velvet box and handed it to Ark, saying casually, "Here, take it."
Now I have no more Star Dewdrops left, and the enchantment effect has reached the limit of the medal's material.
I think this medal should be enough for you up to the Bronze tier.
Fangzhou accepted the gleaming [Seed No. 1 Medal] with both hands, and a notification immediately appeared on the attribute panel.
【Transcendent - Sea City Military Academy Seed No. 1 Medal】(Rare Item, Green Excellent): This medal is awarded to the most outstanding cadets at Sea City Military Academy. It slightly increases the main attributes of Bronze-rank and below professions. The active skill 【Hear My Command】 can be used once daily, activating the magic circle within the medal to boost the morale of human professions within a certain range, temporarily allowing them to forget negative emotions. Enchanted with the 【Transcendent】 affix, it can store a portion of mental energy for skill activation; it can be recharged after use.
Su Xinyan walked up to Fang Zhou and pointed out, "To activate the power of the [Transcendent] affix, you need a strong and pure spiritual force as a medium."
"Give it a try. With your talent, you should be able to master it quickly."
Fang Zhou nodded, sat cross-legged, gently held up the [Seed No. 1 Medal] with both hands, closed his eyes, concentrated, and adjusted his breathing.
He began to guide his mental energy, drawing out one-fifth of it and slowly and steadily flowing it into the medal.
The enchanted patterns on the medal began to rotate and come alive.
Finally, when the last wisp of spiritual energy was completely integrated into the [Seed No. 1 Medal], the entire medal burst forth with dazzling light, forming a brilliant sphere of light that enveloped Fang Zhou.
He could clearly sense the powerful force contained within the medal, as well as the transcendent power that could be awakened at any time to help him break through his limitations.
As the light gradually faded, Fangzhou slowly stood up, his eyes filled with joy.
Instructor Su Xinyan's simple enchantment this time increased his mental energy reserves by a full fifth.
This alone greatly enhances his ability to sustain combat operations.
In other words, the Ark is now more durable!
Of course, besides his sustained combat effectiveness, what Ark values most is the increased skill training efficiency that the [Transcendent] affix brings him.
Having one-fifth more mental energy reserves means that Ark's efficiency in improving skill proficiency can also increase by at least one-fifth.
With that in mind, he was already eager to go to the skills training ground and experience it for himself.
With a soft sigh of relief, Fang Zhou solemnly pinned the medal to his chest, gave a respectful salute to Instructor Su Xinyan, and said, "Thank you, Instructor Xinyan. Alchemy is truly amazing!"
Su Xinyan gave a soft hum, saying with a touch of arrogance, "Of course!"
She couldn't help but glance at Fang Zhou and said indignantly, "You still want to learn blacksmithing with this?"
"Greed knows no bounds!"
Fang Zhou chuckled sheepishly and quickly added, "Instructor Su, Mentor Xin Yan, I haven't forgotten our promise."
"If I can advance from apprentice to master within a month, you absolutely have to teach me alchemy!"
Su Xinyan raised her swan-like white neck high, ignoring Fang Zhou completely, and walked out of the alchemy workshop on her own.
Fangzhou glanced back at the dazzling array of tools in the workshop, and a renewed longing for the secondary professions of alchemist and blacksmith rekindled in his heart.
After returning to Su Xinyan's office, the cold and aloof mentor's anger had mostly subsided.
She slumped into her soft chair and said weakly to Fang Zhou, "It's nothing, you can go back and cultivate now."
Bone regeneration.
Skeleton skill tree.
Mark of the Heroes.
And world runes!
"You've already caused so much trouble right after awakening; I'm worried about you."
Fangzhou straightened his chest, feeling both immense pressure and a surge of motivation.
"It's okay, Mentor Xinyan."
No matter how many tasks there are, as long as you can prioritize them and work on them one after another, all problems can be solved.
Fang Zhou gave Su Xinyan a thumbs-up, said goodbye, and turned to leave the necromancer research group's laboratory.
Feeling refreshed, Fang Zhou walked briskly back to his dormitory, turned over and lay down on his bed. After resting for a few minutes, he opened his personal terminal.
After returning to the military academy from Cave 1, he resumed his usual training regimen.
The same is true today.
However, before he could begin his cultivation, he had two things to do.
The first thing to do, naturally, was to add Shen Ziwei to the [Necromancer Support Group] chat group.
Previously, Fangzhou noticed that Instructor Su Xinyan was a little jealous for some reason. In order to ease the tension, he decisively pulled her into the necromancer support group.
Therefore, he didn't have time to pay attention to Shen Ziwei for the time being.
Fangzhou opened the [Necromancer Support Group] chat group and was somewhat surprised to find that the chat was quite lively.
After quickly browsing through the chat history in the group, Fangzhou roughly understood what was going on.
After Instructor Su Xinyan joined the group, her two perceptive assistants, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, had already been flattering her quite a bit.
Instructor Su Xinyan only gave occasional, aloof replies.
The atmosphere in the chat group seemed fairly harmonious.
So, Fang Zhou flipped through his contacts and added Shen Ziwei to the list.
【Ordinary Apprentice】(Ark): "Welcome to the group @【Heaven on the Left, Warrior on the Right】: "
The group files contain current research tasks and research group management rules; please receive and view them yourself.
I'll assign you formal work tasks in a couple of days.
【Heaven on the Left, Warrior on the Right】(Shen Ziwei): "Received, thank you Ark Master."
Hello Instructor Su, Hello Bai, Hello Meng. I am Shen Ziwei, a first-year student in the Sixth Company of Haicheng Military Academy, currently an apprentice soldier.
Please take good care of me.
In the female students' dormitory not far away, Bai Xiaochun, who was lying on her bed chatting in the group, couldn't help but sit up abruptly when she saw that a new person had joined the group.
"Damn it! How did Ark find another research assistant?!"
"It's still Shen Ziwei, that queen of currying off, isn't she stealing my job?"
Meanwhile, Meng Hongzhuang, who was in another dormitory, had already replied to Shen Ziwei's message in the group chat.
【Bear Overlord】(Meng Hongzhuang): Welcome to our new colleague @【Heaven on the Left, Warrior on the Right】! Let's work together to make progress and contribute to the development and growth of the Necromancer profession!
