Feeling the slight increase in his Four-dimensional Attributes, Fang Zhou had a flash of inspiration. He tried to guide this current of heat toward his joints.

As the Corpse Essence continued to surge in, some flesh-like tendon tissue began to grow around the joints of his limbs.

Fang Zhou stood up and moved his body slightly.

He clearly felt that, compared to his previous pure skeletal frame, the new muscle tissue acted as a buffer, dramatically increasing his flexibility and suppleness.

Fang Zhou raised his Skeletal Long Spear and randomly chose a direction to unleash the [Heroic Charge] Skill.

SWOOSH!

An afterimage streaked across the ground. In an instant, he had dashed over ten meters, then smoothly spun around and charged back.

Not bad, not bad at all!

Fang Zhou clenched his bone fist, immensely satisfied.

With this necessary muscle tissue, he could now unleash even greater attack power with the same Power Attribute.

With the same Agility Attribute, he could also control his body with greater ease.

Although this Zombie had provided only a negligible increase to his Attributes, it had at least raised his direct combat power by ten percent!

Since the beginning of the Era of Myth, the continuous research by human pioneers had uncovered a general rule.

Due to species differences, even with the same Four-dimensional Attributes, the combat power that each type of creature could exert was different.

Aside from variations in Skills and Talents, there was also the influence of a racial Combat Power Coefficient.

For a low-level Undead Creature like a Skeleton, its racial Combat Power Coefficient ranked almost last among all creatures of the same size.

This was easy for Fang Zhou to understand.

For example, comparing a Little Inferior Demon, a Skeleton, and a Zombie.

With the same 10 points of Constitution, a Zombie's Life Energy and Defense were far superior to a Little Inferior Demon's, which in turn were superior to a Skeleton's.

However, with the same 10 points of the Agility Attribute, the Little Inferior Demon's movement speed, attack speed, and reaction speed were all superior to a Skeleton's, and a Skeleton was superior to a Zombie.

Although Fang Zhou's Skeleton Clone had evolved once from the weakest Skeleton into a Skeleton Warrior, its racial Combat Power Coefficient was not outstanding.

Compared to a Zombie of the same level and Attributes, it was slightly inferior in terms of Power and Constitution, though it held an absolute advantage in its racial Combat Power Coefficients for Agility and Spirit.

Now, however, by using the [Corpse Armor] Skill to absorb the Zombie's Corpse Essence, Fang Zhou could pick and choose the best traits. He could absorb the strengths of both Skeletons and Zombies, thereby increasing his own racial Combat Power Coefficient.

Fang Zhou's heart filled with anticipation. I will become the most resilient Skeleton and the swiftest Zombie!

If he encountered other Undead Creatures in the future and could also absorb their essences, continuously improving his racial Combat Power Coefficient... The scene would be so amazing, I daren't even imagine it!

Reining in his wandering thoughts, Fang Zhou took a moment to acclimate to his new body.

After practicing each of his mastered Skills, he was about to enslave another Skeleton to fill the gap in his Servant roster when he suddenly noticed a change on his attribute panel.

The words [Unknown Skill] (Analyzing) had appeared in the Skills Bar.

Slightly puzzled, Fang Zhou focused his attention on these words.

Instantly, a stream of information flooded his mind.

"Decaying flesh produces corpse poison, the greatest weapon of the Zombie Race."

Fang Zhou was stunned for a moment before understanding dawned on him.

Could this Unknown Skill being analyzed be a Talent Skill of the Zombie Race?

He never expected that by devouring the essence of a Zombie with the [Corpse Armor] skill, he could actually analyze and obtain its Talent Skill.

The attribute panel is truly god-tier!

Fang Zhou felt a thrill of excitement.

From the Skeleton's Talent Skill, [Bone Armor], he had already deduced an entire Skill Tree for the Skeleton Series.

Once the Zombie's Talent Skill finished analyzing, what new skills will I be able to deduce from it?

Fang Zhou quietly perceived the analysis progress of the skill, and an understanding quickly formed in his mind.

For a Zombie like the one today, I estimate killing another hundred should be enough to finish analyzing this Skill.

With a new goal set, Fang Zhou gripped his Skeletal Long Spear, filled with renewed vigor.

He looked off into the distance. I just wonder where I can find more Zombies.

Previously, Fang Zhou had always assumed that only the Skeleton Race was active in the Burial Wilderness.

Now, it seemed that was not the case.

The outer region he had been active in previously only had Apprentice-level Skeletons; no other Undead Creatures were present.

This was because Skeletons were the only type of Apprentice-level Undead Creature.

And only weak Skeletons could endure the sparse scarlet moonlight of the periphery.

Zombies, like Skeleton Warriors, were Black Iron-level Undead Creatures, so it was only natural that their territories would overlap.

Fang Zhou was filled with anticipation.

After slaughtering Skeletons for over two months, he could finally have a change of pace.

Perhaps, besides Zombies, he would encounter other types of Undead Creatures as well.

Calming his excitement, Fang Zhou casually enslaved a Great Sword Skeleton Warrior. He renamed it No.1 Great Sword and added it to the first squad.

Then, he commanded his seven Skeleton Squads to continue their easy and pleasant hunt.

This time, however, Fang Zhou gave his Skeleton minions a new order.

When encountering any Undead Creatures other than Skeletons, they were to avoid combat and report to him first via Soul Link.

This would prevent them from foolishly charging Zombies head-on as they had done before.

After two hours of battle, thanks to the tireless power-leveling of his minions, the Skeleton Clone's Power Attribute had broken through the 40-point mark.

Looking up at the Blood Moon, Fang Zhou found a hidden spot to "log off" and returned his attention to his main body.

In the Cave, deep in the night, the roars of Night Demons echoed one after another.

However, deterred by the intense scent of blood outside the Bear Cave, no foolish Demon dared to disturb Fang Zhou.

Dawn was still several hours away.

Fang Zhou yawned and curled up in his tent to rest.

...

The gale howled as the Stone Golem sped onward like a whirlwind.

On its back, Wang Tao, who had just revealed the Kobolds' location to Fang Zhou, turned to Lu Hu and couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Lu, I previously did a rough reconnaissance of the Thorn Jungle and did indeed find a mineral vein in the northwest.

"Although I didn't find any Black Iron-level Demons, the number of Kobolds there is massive. They even have an Upper-level Apprentice leader.

"Fang Zhou's combat power might be extraordinary, but he's only a Middle-rank Apprentice. Isn't it too risky for him to just go exploring there?"

Lu Hu smiled. "In a direct confrontation, Fang Zhou might not win, but you have to trust his strategic intelligence. Rest assured, with his prudent personality, he won't get himself eliminated."

Wang Tao nodded silently, his heart filled with a certain expectation.

How will Fang Zhou deal with so many Kobolds?
