Chapter 298 Differentiating Seeds, the Secret of Rune Advancement!
Beside Fang Zhou, seeing that he had finished his comprehension of the world's will and seemed to be lost in a beautiful fantasy, Su Xinyan couldn't help but reach out and gently poke him, asking with some curiosity, "Fang Zhou, have you gained any insights?"
Although her voice was low, everyone present was a high-level professional, so how could they not hear the whispers between the master and apprentice?
Especially on the high platform in the distance, Su Tiankuo and the several illusory saints also turned their gazes over intentionally or unintentionally, quietly paying attention to Fang Zhou's answer.
They were also curious about what benefits this outstanding necromancer apprentice had gained under the attention of the world's will.
Fang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, barely managing to suppress the excitement in his heart.
He reached out and grasped Su Xinyan's slender fingers, saying excitedly, "Instructor Xinyan, I have just successfully comprehended the world rune 'Gallows'."
Su Xinyan blinked her beautiful eyes, and her face couldn't help but show an expression of envy, jealousy and hatred.
She tried to pull her fingers out of Ark's hand, but to no avail. She gritted her teeth and said, "I knew I was right. You are the illegitimate child of the world's will!"
"This is the most practical 'gallows' rune for sorcerers!"
I fought bloody battles on the battlefield between humans and demons back then, risking my life countless times before finally gaining the attention of the world's will and successfully comprehending it.
But it's so easy for you, kid?!
She sighed and continued, "Let me calculate it."
"The Night Watchman", "Heart of Steel" and "The Gallows" that you just learned.
You've already mastered three different types of world runes, haven't you?
That's really an exaggeration!
Seeing Instructor Su Xinyan's heartbroken expression, as if she wished she could replace Fang Zhou, Fang Zhou grinned and dropped another bombshell.
"Instructor Xinyan, there are indeed three."
Moreover, just now, they seemed to have formed some kind of mysterious connection, creating a runic resonance that I had never seen before.
I'm still a bit unsure about the effects of this rune resonance.
After the funeral, I'll need your help, instructor, to take a test for me.
Su Xinyan's expression froze, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, saying in disbelief, "Runic resonance?"
You mean, the three world runes you just comprehended actually resonated with you? This is unbelievable!
I've only seen rune resonance a handful of times in my entire life!
How lucky you are! Not only did you casually comprehend three world runes, but you were also able to form a very rare rune resonance.
No, no, I really can't hold back anymore.
I'm going to find a chance to dissect you and see how your brain is structured.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou chuckled and looked at Instructor Su Xinyan with intense fervor.
On a high platform in the distance.
Hearing Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan's conversation, the elderly female saint who had spoken earlier couldn't help but chuckle softly, saying with some emotion, "Runic resonance, indeed, is a realm that every professional dreams of."
Let alone that little girl, even we old bones have gone through countless hardships to barely grasp some basics under the guidance of the world's will.
This young man has only been awakened for a few months, yet he has already comprehended three world runes during his apprenticeship and can activate rare rune resonances.
I've really seen something new.
Although the other saints did not express their opinions directly, their eyes could not hide their admiration and curiosity for the ark.
Just then, Ning Danxin, who was half-squatting on the ground and holding the crystal coffin with one hand, opened her eyes.
She slowly stood up, and a terrifying aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood emanated from her lithe body.
This aura seemed to be a condensation of countless battle experiences; every movement was full of power and determination, sending chills down one's spine.
In terms of sheer power, if we disregard Su Tiankuo on the high platform and the phantoms of several saints, Ning Danxin was enough to dominate the entire scene.
Fang Zhou couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to unexpectedly meet Ning Danxin's gaze.
Ning Danxin's eyes flickered slightly, and she was about to make a move when the elderly female saint on the high platform gently raised her hand, and Ning Danxin was involuntarily moved to the high platform.
She wanted to look at Fang Zhou, but Su Xinyan tugged at his sleeve, signaling him not to be so bold.
Fang Zhou didn't look at the phantoms of the saints, but simply smiled and nodded at Principal Su Tiankuo, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and then took Su Xinyan's small hand in his own.
It is unknown what Ning Danxin and the several human powerhouses discussed on the high platform, but the funeral quickly resumed in an orderly manner.
After the world's attention was drawn to this minor incident, General Ning Feihu's funeral quickly came to an end.
As the crowd in the cemetery gradually dispersed, Fang Zhou was preparing to return to the necromancer research group with Instructor Su Xinyan to study the resonance between the gallows rune and the [Harvest Ritual] rune when Instructor Lu Hu called him back.
"Fangzhou, wait a moment. Major General Ning Danxin wishes to see you."
Fangzhou was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening.
Previously, both Instructor Lu Hu and Instructor Su Xinyan had told him that Major General Ning Danxin, as the last descendant of General Ning Feihu, was extremely grateful for Fangzhou's discovery of General Ning Feihu's remains.
Now that General Ning Feihu's funeral has come to an end, it's perfectly normal for her to want to see him.
Accompanied by instructors Lu Hu and Su Xinyan, Fang Zhou arrived at a reception room in the Hall of Glory. The reception room was decorated in a solemn yet warm manner, with several paintings depicting heroic deeds hanging on the walls and a faint fragrance in the air.
At this moment, Major General Ning Danxin had changed back into civilian clothes and was waiting there.
Upon seeing Fang Zhou enter, she stood up, took two steps forward, and gave him a solemn military salute.
"Sergeant Ark, thank you for finding my grandfather's remains and belongings."
Fang Zhou hadn't expected that Major General Ning Danxin, a super strong player at the Glory Champion level, would adopt such a humble attitude.
He was somewhat flattered and quickly returned the salute, saying to Ning Danxin, "Major General Ning, you are too kind."
General Ning Feihu is an idol and role model in the hearts of all students at Haicheng Military Academy and even soldiers of Longxia.
It is my greatest honor to be able to collect the remains of heroes.
Ning Danxin is a powerful berserker warrior at the Glory Champion level.
To achieve such strength, her mind must be incredibly resolute.
In addition, although she is a woman, she is very decisive.
Therefore, she did not dwell on these formalities with Fangzhou, but instead gestured for everyone to sit down in the reception room, and then got straight to the point: "Fangzhou, I have carefully learned about your experiences over the past few months."
I've watched all your combat videos, and I have high hopes for your talent.
I believe you will definitely grow into a pillar of our Dragonxia Federation.
Whether out of my high regard for the younger generation in the military, or out of gratitude to the benefactors of our Ning family, I want to do something for you.
At this point, Ning Danxin looked directly at Fang Zhou, her sharp eyes filled with sincerity, and asked, "Fang Zhou, what do you need?"
Fangzhou felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Ning Danxin's words.
He never expected Ning Danxin to value him so much, and even be willing to help him.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Major General Ning, you have already been very generous to me."
But if you're really willing to help me, I'd like to get some guidance on world runes.
After all, I still lack experience in this field.
Ning Danxin nodded in understanding.
She said, "World runes are indeed an extremely important part, especially for a gifted mage like you."
I can provide you with some knowledge and experience about runes, and I can also introduce you to some experts who specialize in runes.
They might be able to help you.
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou quickly said, "Major General Ning, your suggestion is very important to me."
I would be extremely grateful for your guidance.
Ning Danxin smiled slightly and said, "No need to thank me, it's what I should do."
I hope you can become a stronger professional and contribute your strength to our federation.
Also, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation or other aspects, you can come to me.
I will do my best to help you with World Runes. The first thing you need to know is that runes do not exist in isolation.
The interaction between them often produces unexpected results.
You have now mastered three runes: "Night Watch," "Heart of Steel," and "Gallows," which is an extraordinary achievement in itself.
Ning Danxin continued, "The use of runes is not just about simple stacking; you also need to constantly explore it in practice."
I have some basic information about runes here; you can take a look.
Additionally, I can arrange for several rune masters to assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance.
After Ning Danxin finished speaking, she took out several thick books from her spatial equipment and handed them to Fangzhou, then said, "These are the basic theories about runes. You can start with these books."
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Is there anything else you need?
Fang Zhou was already prepared for Ning Danxin's attitude, so after hearing Ning Danxin's words, he hesitated for a moment before calmly replying, "Major General Ning Danxin, you are on the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom and are extremely busy."
I am currently a first-year seed student at the Haicheng Military Academy.
They receive preferential training from military academies. They also have Instructor Xinyan, a Gold-rank necromancer, as their mentor.
To be honest, I don't want anything anymore.
"I only hope that Major General Ning can kill more demons on the battlefield of the Calamity Demon Kingdom, so as to avenge the blood debt of my parents who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield between humans and demons."
Fang Zhou's words were certainly not just a pose.
The abundant resources currently provided by Haicheng Military Academy are sufficient for him to grow rapidly.
He only lacks two things now.
The first is time—the time it takes to turn one's potential and resources into strength.
The second is resources or information related to the necromancer class.
In this regard, Su Xinyan, a Gold-rank necromancer, was already helping him strategize and gather information.
Behind Su Xinyan are Sandru, the strongest necromancer at present, and Su Tiankuo, the legendary principal, as her backers and support.
If it's a resource that even they can't obtain, then even Ning Danxin, a powerful berserker at the Glory Champion level, is probably powerless to help.
This is also due to the preciousness and rarity of undead attribute resources on Earth and in the mythical world.
Hearing Fang Zhou's heartfelt words, Ning Danxin's steely expression softened slightly.
"Fangzhou," she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of gentleness, "Principal Su Tiankuo and Instructor Lu Hu have already given me a detailed introduction to your training path and resource needs."
I know that on the path of a necromancer, resources with undead attributes are crucial for you.
Especially those rare and precious materials that can help you solidify your foundation and strengthen your connection with the underworld.
At this point, Ning Danxin paused slightly, a hint of worry flashing across her brow. "However, I must tell you frankly, resources with undead attributes are indeed extremely rare."
Even with my current resources and influence, I cannot easily find it for you.
This makes me feel both powerless and guilty, but please believe me, I have never given up on finding these valuable resources for you.
"I used every resource at my disposal, whether through secret channels or personal networks, to constantly gather intelligence and information about the resources needed by necromancers."
Especially Amber, a rare and precious material that is crucial during the apprenticeship stage of a necromancer, is a major focus of my attention.
I will let you know immediately if there is any news.
Fang Zhou nodded, then saluted Ning Danxin and said, "Thank you, Major General Ning."
Just when Fang Zhou thought the conversation was about to end, Ning Danxin suddenly smiled and said to Fang Zhou, "Although I can't offer you any help with necromancer-specific resources for the time being."
But if I do nothing, not only will I feel guilty, but even my grandfather's spirit in heaven would probably not forgive me.
As she spoke, Ning Danxin raised her right hand and, before Fang Zhou could react, touched his forehead between his eyebrows.
At that moment, a warm and gentle power surged into Fangzhou's body, as if a warm current was flowing through his blood, nourishing his heart.
Under the influence of this force, Fangzhou felt as if the [Heart Steel|] world rune deep within his mind had been awakened, and began to emit a dazzling light.
Lu Hu, who was standing to the side, still looked a little confused, but Su Xinyan, a mage who believed that knowledge was power and was very knowledgeable, had already figured it out.
She stood up and exclaimed, "A rune seed?"
Major General Ning, you actually intend to split off a rune seed and send it to the Ark!
Upon hearing Su Xinyan's words, Lu Hu also realized what was happening and said with a shocked expression, "A rune seed?"
Isn't this a wondrous object that can only be split off by those who have mastered the World Silk Runes to an advanced level?
