“Zi Liyuan, you have temporary rights to this manor for half a year,” the guide said. “You can take a detailed look at the manor’s facilities. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
The guide directly led him to a manor that spanned over a hundred acres and then continued.
“This set of books is the curriculum for your first year, as well as a set of Skill Book resources specially prepared for you by the academy. I hope you maintain your unbeatable momentum, all the way until you enter the Sea of Realms and become a great Lord.”
In the main hall of the manor, there was a long white jade table, on which a pile of books and materials were neatly arranged.
“I heard you robbed quite a few Contribution Values from the second-year students. You might want to check out the treasure gallery in the old castle this afternoon; it definitely has various resources you can exchange for.”
After giving a kind reminder, the teacher took his leave.
At this moment, Zi Liyuan thanked the teacher and turned his gaze to the various books on the white jade table.
“Zombie Summoning,” “Ghoul Summoning,” “Ghoul Summoning,” “Spectre Summoning,” “Vampire Summoning,” “Corpse Witch Summoning,” “Abomination Summoning,” “Dark Knight Summoning,” “Bone Dragon Summoning,” “Gargoyle Creation,” “Patchwork Monster Creation,” “Zombie Creation,”…
There were a total of twenty Skill Books, with no fewer than nine books on summoning skills. Then there were three Skill Books for creating Undead creatures, four for bone magic, and four for curses.
All were standard skills usable by practitioners of the death profession, and this wave of benefits seemingly boosted his power by thirty percent out of thin air!
Moreover, this fellow had several treasures in his hands that could generate Undead hero BOSS templates.
Previously he couldn’t get Skill Books, but now he had everything he needed. Thus, the gap in his mid-level fighting power could also be partially filled.
He flipped through the Skill Books one by one, then streams of light entered his body, forming new skills in his skill slots.
In just a few minutes, he mastered the skills from all twenty books and summoned a sample of each.
Of course, the Bone Dragon was an exception. To summon that creature, not only did he need a complete set of dragon bones, but he also required a Dragon Soul, which he didn’t currently possess.
Among them, the summoned Zombies were all of the standard template, and they were in no way comparable to the Zombie BOSS army he had under contract, qualifying as First Order Undead.
However, summoning these ordinary Zombies only occupied one Soul Value point, the same as the Skeletons.
Then came the Ghouls, an Undead creature even more disgusting than Zombies, with speed and attack capabilities that were stronger, but with only slightly more durability than Skeletons, and they also ranked as First Order Undead.
Ghouls, a type of spectral soldier resembling the lowest ranks of the soldiers from the Eastern Underworld, had elite templates and could become invisible, very suitable as scouts, and classified as Second Order Undead.
Spectres, more aligned with Western Netherworld spirits, shrouded in resentment, were aggressive and could etherealize to reduce physical damage. Their invisibility was not impressive but still suitable as scouts, also ranking as Second Order Undead.
Vampires, dark Undead creatures that live by drinking blood, were powerful, capable of flight, and could even transform into bat forms, making them difficult to kill and ranked as low-tier Third Order Undead.
Corpse Witches, transformed from Undead Mages, retained their memories from life and were adept at various Undead spells, such as bone and curse spells, and rightly considered high-tier Mages, falling into the category of high-tier Third Order Undead.
Abominations, massive strength-based Undead monsters, could absorb and devour various corpses to evolve, adjusting their appearance and flesh, with formidable power and sturdy bodies but slow movements, belonging to mid-tier Third Order Undead.
Dark Knights, decayed knights shrouded in armor, possessed the powers of death, darkness, and curses, and were very powerful, rated as pseudo-Fourth Order low-tier Undead.
Bone Dragons, powerful Undead created from dragons that did not rest after death and became tainted by grudges, retained some of their living abilities and even grasped the Aging Curse, ranked as Fourth Order low-tier Undead.
Satisfied with his summoned creatures, Zi Liyuan pulled out treasures that had been collecting dust in his Spatial Backpack.
Zombie’s Heart (Silver) x1, Spectre’s Heart (Silver), Blood Race’s Heart (Silver) x1, Corpse Witch’s Heart (Silver) x1, Dread’s Heart (Silver) x1.
He used them on these five types of Undead creatures.
A massive amount of the Power of Death enveloped the entire manor at that moment, and then frenziedly surged into the bodies of the five types of Undead.
The first to undergo a transformation was the summoned Zombie.
“Roar!~”
Accompanied by the incessant howling of the little zombie, its weak and crooked body swelled up like a balloon after merging with the zombie heart.
In just the blink of an eye, its height shot up to two meters, its body became extremely strong, muscles well-defined, turning into a hulking figure resembling a muscle-bound fiend.
Its gray-white skin turned to gray-black, filled with a sense of power, and its strength underwent an earth-shattering change, advancing from a First Order undead to a Second Order high-level undead boss.
At the same time, it broke through the restriction of its skills, directly adopting the hero boss template, and its level caught up to Zi Liyuan’s, reaching LV80!
“Woo~~”
The low wailing sound carried a sense of melancholy and chill that made one’s back shudder.
The Spectre beside it, after integrating with the Spectre heart, became completely transparent and even exuded a layer of cold and sinister aura.
This elite Spectre advanced directly to becoming the Phantom King, with its originally semi-transparent body turning invisible and melding into the void, revealing only a part of its soul body when attacking the target.
What was originally a Second Order undead had at this moment advanced to a Third Order high-level undead boss, shedding the restriction on its skills and evolving into a hero boss template as well, its level also matching Zi Liyuan’s, reaching LV80!
Following that, the Vampire, Corpse Witch, and Dark Knight began their evolution.
The Vampire evolved from a Third Order rare low-level undead into the Vampire King, a Third Order high-level hero boss.
The Corpse Witch evolved from a Third Order rare high-level undead into the Wraith Mage King, becoming a Fourth Order low-level hero boss.
The Dark Knight evolved from a pseudo-Fourth Order low-level undead into the Dread Knight King, becoming a Fourth Order middle-level hero boss.
The appearance and stature of these three hero bosses didn’t change much, but their powers underwent a revolutionary change.
After all, they evolved from normal, elite, rare, hero templates directly into hero boss templates, welcoming a leap of three levels in strength, and they carried an additional trait.
They all became kings of their respective races, capable of commanding their kind to fight for them!
For instance, the zombie boss legion summoned by Zi Liyuan previously could command ordinary zombies to give their lives for them; these kingly entities could do likewise, commanding their kind to battle.
However, Zi Liyuan looked at his various summoning abilities and couldn’t help but purse his lips in dissatisfaction.
Now that he was LV80, his set amplified all skill levels by +1 effect, allowing him to raise his learned skill levels to LV19.
But annoyingly, the summoning for Vampires, Abominations, Corpse Witches, Dark Knights, and Bone Dragons all had a number restriction!
For each skill level, a Vampire could summon 10, so with an LV19 skill, only 190 could be summoned.
For Abominations, 5 per level, with LV19 only 95 could be summoned.
For Corpse Witches, 3 per level, with LV19 only 57 could be summoned.
For Dark Knights, 2 per level, with LV19 only 38 could be summoned.
For Bone Dragons, 1 per level, with LV19 only 19 could be summoned.
Moreover, these undead creatures summoned by the skills were not boss-template monsters but normal minion templates, although at the very least, they were rare template minions.
Overall, Zi Liyuan’s undead legion was finally no longer just a monotonous Skeleton Army and Zombie Army.
“Another step closer to the undead calamity; the next step is to comprehend the Nether Meditation Technique.”
After sending the array of undead back to their respective special undead spaces, Zi Liyuan looked toward another book next to the array of Skill Books on the white jade long table, half a foot thick.
This was a Cultivation Technique!
“Mage Nether Meditation Technique, from novice to burial”!
