Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 171 Professional Restraint, Instructor Red Jade's Plea

Chapter 171 Professional Restraint, Instructor Red Jade's Plea

Lu Yiyi couldn't help but say to Lu Renjia, "Although I've seen Fang Zhou's battle videos and know that his combat power is amazing, I never imagined that he could achieve such an exaggerated record!"

I even doubt that even if I challenged him, I might not be able to...

Lu Yiyi didn't say the rest of the sentence, but Lu Renjia naturally understood the unspoken meaning in her words.

Given Fang Zhou's abnormal combat prowess, even though Lu Yiyi is an archer who rose from apprentice to master, she has no confidence whatsoever in defeating Fang Zhou in the arena challenge.

After all, family members know their own affairs best.

Lu Yiyi asked herself honestly, if she were put into Cave 1, she might be able to survive for three days without any problems.

But gaining so many hunting points like Fang Zhou was something she never even dared to dream of.

Lu Renjia shook his head with a sigh, and said in a low voice, "Compared to Fang Zhou, our past year or so has been like a dog's training."

However, even you and I might not be able to defeat Fang Zhou right now, let alone Meng Hongzhuang, Ye Fan and other first-year students.

Even though they are all elite seeds selected from hundreds, they are still far inferior to Ark!

On the stands, the trainees were engaged in a lively discussion.

Meanwhile, on the podium, a group of military academy instructors were also exchanging their judgments on the seeding of this year's military academy students with great interest.

As Ye Fan's special training instructor in the [Demon Hunter] research group, Instructor Chen Qingshan had witnessed Ye Fan's growth step by step and naturally had full confidence in Ye Fan's combat ability.

He looked at a female instructor wearing a jade robe and smiled, "Instructor Zhang, I know you care a lot about the students in your Natural Science Professional Association."

But let me tell you, Ye Fan has been preparing for this arena challenge for a long time.

He carefully analyzed Meng Hongzhuang's fighting style and meticulously designed several combat plans.

I think this time, Meng Hongzhuang's No. 2 seed position will probably have to be handed over to Ye Fan.

The female instructor surnamed Zhang smiled slightly and said calmly, "Although Ye Fan does have some talent, in my opinion, he is far too arrogant and conceited."

To put it bluntly, he's like a half-full bottle that doesn't shake when it's full, how could he possibly be compared to Hongzhuang!

I know this all too well. Hongzhuang's real challenge is the Ark.

Ye Fan? She's never even given him a second thought!

The two instructors were arguing back and forth, which sparked a lively discussion among the other instructors.

Besides Meng Hongzhuang and Ye Fan, who ranked second and third on the Dungeon Hunting leaderboard respectively, other outstanding trainees such as Gu Zhi Qiu and Zhao Yuan were also on the instructors' radar.

After all, arena challenges are different from dungeon hunting, as they can most directly demonstrate an individual's combat prowess.

There is also an implicit relationship of mutual restraint between different professions.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

If you can choose a suitable opponent and know their fighting style and weaknesses thoroughly, you may be able to defeat a stronger opponent and successfully take a higher ranking.

Of course, the instructors tacitly avoided discussing who would be the number one seed.

What a joke! What's there to discuss?

Fangzhou's strength and achievements speak for themselves, and there's a significant gap between him and the other first-year seed students.

Such a large gap cannot be bridged by simple tactics such as professional counterplay or intelligence gathering.

However, some instructors in a corner of the podium did not participate in the discussion.

Instructor Shen Hongyu, dressed in a fiery red robe, looked somewhat melancholy as she listlessly surveyed the seeded students for the arena competition.

The other instructors were also very considerate and didn't bother her.

Her adopted daughter, Shen Ziwei, was too reckless during the underground hunt. Relying on the special artifact she had specially crafted, the "Burning Fire Ring," she dared to venture deep into the frozen wasteland with the strength of a mere apprentice.

Finally, the unfortunate Shen Ziwei was hunted by the gnoll knights.

Although he escaped safely under the protection of the Black Iron-grade [Shield Scroll], he paid a heavy price: his left arm was burned to ashes by the gnoll warlock.

As a result of this incident, Shen Ziwei was not only eliminated in the military academy's seed selection, but her future professional training as a soldier was also greatly affected.

After being taken out of the underground cave, Shen Ziwei received treatment at the military academy's medical department.

Although the overall situation is relatively stable, the mother and daughter are of one heart!

The thought that her daughter would have to rely on mechanical prosthetics to train and live like her in the future caused Instructor Shen Hongyu waves of pain in her heart.

The only thing that comforts her is that Shen Ziwei is currently in a positive state of mind.

According to her, after Ark rescued her from the gnoll siege, he told her that he was researching bone strengthening and regeneration.

Perhaps there is still hope for her left arm to recover.

Shen Hongyu is a silver-level fire mage and is also very skilled in alchemy.

Her vision and knowledge were naturally much richer than those of newly awakened apprentices like Fang Zhou and Shen Ziwei.

Therefore, deep down, Shen Hongyu, like Wang Tao, the Pegasus Knight who was in charge of the underground rescue, held a pessimistic view of Fangzhou's situation.

Based on Shen Hongyu's experience, even if Fang Zhou did indeed independently deduce the necromancer's skeletal skill tree, greatly enhancing the necromancer class's combat power during the apprentice stage, he was an unprecedented prodigy in the history of Haicheng Military Academy.

However, due to the precision and complexity of the human body, the hope of success for Ark's so-called skeletal strengthening and regeneration project is far too slim.

Thinking of her daughter's expectant eyes, Shen Hongyu sighed softly.

Her gaze unconsciously swept back and forth across the arena, trying to find Fang Zhou's figure.

For my daughter's sake, I must ask for the Ark no matter what.

Even if it means continuing to weave a beautiful lie, we must help Ziwei recover from the devastating loss of her left arm as quickly as possible.

Amidst the expectant or curious gazes of the crowd, Fang Zhou, clad in an apprentice mage robe, finally entered the training ground.

So many people?

Fang Zhou glanced around at the stands and immediately felt the tense yet exciting atmosphere in the air.

"Ark, please ascend the arena via the passage."

A second-year student responsible for maintaining order and guiding the seed students into the venue saw Fang Zhou and his eyes lit up. He immediately waved to him.

As Fangzhou followed the guide onto the arena, he quickly attracted the attention of all the spectators inside and outside the arena.

The already enthusiastic atmosphere in the stands became even more agitated.

Fangzhou himself may not have realized that in less than three months, he has become a legend in the hearts of many students.

He may not have reached the level of an idol yet, but his potential influence is already quite astonishing.
