Under the will of Fang Zhou, the absolutely loyal Berserker Heroic Spirit immediately reacted. Its entire body flickered with a purple radiance as a prompt appeared on the attribute panel.

"Select [Golden Body Series], master [Fury], [Taunt], [Charge], [Frenzy Golden Body], [Berserk]..."

[Fury] (Apprentice, Instinct): Each attack made or received accumulates rage. Consuming rage improves attack power and amplifies the effects of other skills.

[Taunt] (Apprentice, Instinct): Utter a provocative shout that stirs the enemy's anger, with a certain chance of forcing them to attack you.

[Frenzy Golden Body] (Apprentice, Instinct): Bury rage deep within, significantly enhancing one's defense. The more severe the injury, the more efficiently rage is gained.

[Berserk] (Apprentice, Instinct): Consume a large amount of rage to enter the [Berserk] state, enhancing all four of one's Four-dimensional Attributes. Afterward, the user will enter a temporary state of weakness.

The [Charge] skill was the same one the skeleton clone had learned earlier, though this one was also at the [Instinct] proficiency level.

...

Looking at the long list of skills for the Berserker Heroic Spirit, Fang Zhou was awestruck for a moment and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

With just this one Heroic Spirit, it should be more than enough to crush Ye Fan, right?

And as my own strength increases, the Berserker Heroic Spirit's level will rise with it. It will master more and more skills, and there's no bottleneck before the Golden Upper Rank. With the Berserker Heroic Spirit leading the charge, my Skeleton Army will become nigh impenetrable!

Amidst his excitement, Fang Zhou couldn't help but recall the magnificent, self-sacrificial scene of General Ning Feihu choosing to die with the demon. A sense of profound gratitude welled up in his heart.

Rest assured, General Ning! I will carry on your final gift and completely annihilate humanity's enemies, the Abyssal Demons!

Through the Berserker Heroic Spirit's skill list, he now roughly understood why the Heroic Spirit had only mastered a portion of the Berserker skills. Perhaps only skills that have reached [Instinct] proficiency can be passed down to future generations through a Heroic Spirit Mark.

Instinct... the innate ability of a spirit. It's not just an empty name.

No wonder it's so difficult to advance from the [Perfection] level to the [Instinct] level of proficiency.

He took a soft breath to calm his excitement, then tapped his personal terminal and opened his memo.

This time, he had received the gift of the [Berserker Mark] from General Ning Feihu's Heroic Spirit. The summoned Berserker Heroic Spirit had only mastered some of its Profession's skills. Compared to Silver, Gold, and other High-Tier Professionals, it might be slightly inferior. However, at the Apprentice and Black Iron Tiers, it was an absolute terror that could slaughter at will. With the assistance of the Heroic Spirit, Fang Zhou's strength surged significantly once more.

A greedy fantasy began to bubble up in Fang Zhou's mind.

If I could get more Heroic Spirit Marks and build an entire army of them—one that could slay gods and devils alike—how incredible would that be!

However, Fang Zhou knew this was just a lucky coincidence. General Ning Feihu was a heroic martyr recorded in the annals of the Human Alliance and one of the most powerful figures at the dawn of the Human-Demon Blood War. Although he was only at the Golden Upper Rank when he sacrificed himself, his potential was far from being fully tapped. That was why he was able to leave behind a Purple-grade, rare quality [Berserker Mark] as a gift for future generations.

Currently, there are tens of thousands of experts at the Golden Tier in the Human Alliance, but those with General Ning Feihu's level of skill and accomplishment could probably be counted on one hand. To gain the acknowledgement of a Heroic Spirit and obtain more Heroic Spirit Marks would be incredibly difficult.

Fang Zhou merely jotted this idea down hastily, leaving it as something to hope for in the future.

If I get them, it's my good fortune; if not, it's my fate.

He was confident that even without the gift of a Heroic Spirit, he could still reach the pinnacle of the world step by step through his own effort and talent, along with the *tiniest* bit of help from his attribute panel and skeleton clones.

Forget the distant future. Just think about his little assistant, Meng Hongzhuang. She had wracked her brains to come up with the 'Tower of Sand' strategy to enhance his Skeleton Army. As long as he accumulated enough Skill Materials, he was confident he could deduce a powerful skill to completely overturn the inherent weaknesses of the Undead.

Reining in his wandering thoughts, Fang Zhou's gaze fell upon the gigantic War Axe held in the Berserker Heroic Spirit's hand, his interest in research piqued once more. Despite its immense power, the Berserker Heroic Spirit was limited by Fang Zhou's own strength and was merely at the Apprentice Middle Rank. If it could condense a war axe using [Skeletal Armament], then other Apprentice-level skeletons surely could too. Perhaps he could draw inspiration from the Berserker Heroic Spirit to develop a corresponding skill.

He was currently in a Cave, so he didn't have the proper conditions for research. Fang Zhou first jotted this down in his memo, planning to study it slowly after returning to his research team tomorrow.

He lifted his head to admire the majestic, heroic form of the Berserker Heroic Spirit one last time, and decided to give it a proper name. After all, it could at least accompany him to the Golden Upper Rank, unlike other ordinary skeletons, which were mere expendables.

Fang Zhou rubbed his chin, and after a moment of thought, an idea came to him.

It's a Berserker, and it wields two White Bone Battleaxes. Let's just call it 'Olaf'! Olaf! Olaf! The crowd goes wild!

With the name decided, it was time to test Olaf's actual combat capabilities.

Fang Zhou casually selected a skeleton with a vibrant Soul Fire as Olaf's opponent. This one-on-one contest was meant to assess Olaf's fundamental combat sense and skill application.

As soon as the battle began, Olaf displayed astonishing agility and strength. Like a bolt of black lightning, it instantly closed the distance with the other skeleton. A Bone Battleaxe spun in its hand, forming an unbreakable barrier that blocked the skeleton's swinging Bone Claws.

Immediately afterward, Olaf launched a counterattack with thunderous speed. It swung the other Bone Battleaxe in a sharp arc through the air, piercing precisely through a gap in the skeleton's ribcage. Accompanied by a dull cracking sound, the skeleton instantly collapsed, its Soul Fire gradually dimmed.

The duel ended in the blink of an eye.

Olaf had effortlessly dispatched its opponent without even using any skills. Its fluid movements and precise, deadly attacks were a joy for Fang Zhou to watch. From this display, he realized that Olaf hadn't just mastered the powerful skills of the Berserker Profession; it had also inherited some of the combat experience from General Ning Feihu's Heroic Spirit.

Compared to ordinary skeletons that fought on pure instinct, this was an overwhelming, context-shattering advantage. It allowed Olaf to handle battles with ease and secure decisive victories.

A single ordinary skeleton is nowhere near enough to gauge Olaf's depth. Where are its limits?

With a snap of his fingers, Fang Zhou arranged for five more skeletons to surround and attack Olaf.
