10. 20. 30. 40. ... In Meng Hongzhuang's bewildered gaze, Fang Zhou summoned as many as 80 muscular and soul-fire ablaze skeletons. Not only was Meng Hongzhuang bewildered, but even her animal companions, who were previously eager and roaring toward the sky, couldn't help but tuck their tails between their legs, mewing incessantly as they watched the skeleton army nearly fill the broad arena. The Giant Bear Vini and the Big Mountain Cat Nidalee turned their heads knowingly to look at their master. Their jewel-like black eyes were filled with confusion, as if saying, "Master, how do we even fight so many skeletons?" But that wasn't the end. The skeleton army had appeared, so how could it be without a commander? Fang Zhou focused his attention on the radiant purple glow emanating from the depths of his soul—the [Berserker Mark]. Olaf, activate! Then, he projected the energy surging from the mark into one of the most robust skeletons in the army. Under the gaze of thousands, General Ning Feihu's final gift—the [Berserker Heroic Spirit] Olaf, wielding double axes, made a dazzling entrance. The [Berserker Mark], this heroic spirit mark, as a [Purple Rare] quality marvel, is exceedingly uncommon. The vast majority of students had no understanding of its function or symbolic significance. Only a small group of students had watched Fang Zhou's live broadcast when he swept through the Abyss Difficulty [Horn Demon Outpost] with thunderous force, and they could recognize this mutated skeleton summoned by Fang Zhou, which could outright defeat the axed heavy-armored horned demon boss. However, compared to these recently awakened recruits, the instructors were well-experienced, having traveled far and seen much. On the podium, many instructors who knew the value of things displayed incredulous expressions upon seeing Olaf within the skeleton army. Lu Hu stood up abruptly, visibly excited and shocked, exclaiming, "Is this a Summoning Series heroic spirit mark?! Where did that kid Fang Zhou get it from?" Unlike Lu Hu's expression of shock, Su Tiankuo sat calmly and confidently in the main seat. Yesterday, he had already learned from his daughter Su Xinyan that Fang Zhou had obtained the legacy mark of General Ning Feihu's heroic spirit. After the initial shock and excitement, he now felt a sense of relief and ease in his heart. Watching from afar the imposing and majestic [Berserker Heroic Spirit] Olaf on the arena, although knowing this robust skeleton with double axes had no substantial connection to Ning Feihu, Su Tiankuo still felt he could glimpse some traits of General Ning Feihu from it. Su Tiankuo's gaze gradually became distant, as if his memories had returned to decades ago. Ning Feihu was one of the earliest awakeners among the Blue Star people and a pioneer of the [Berserker] profession. No exaggeration to say, during that era, he was an idol for all combat professionals. When Ning Feihu advanced to Gold tier and became one of humanity's top powerhouses, raising the battle banner against the demons, Su Tiankuo was just a naïve rookie soldier, much like Fang Zhou. Back then, the Era of Myth had just begun. The connection between Blue Star and the Mythical World was not as close as it is now, and the energy concentration was very sparse. Due to environmental constraints, there were only a few golden-tier powerhouses among humans. Even in the abyssal demon army that broke through the world barrier to invade Blue Star, only true elite powerhouses could maintain top-tier golden power. Su Tiankuo still remembers when the news came that General Ning Feihu perished alongside three high-level golden demons during the Battle of Sea City. He and many companions cried bitterly under the Human Alliance's battle banner. After finally repelling the demon army attacking Sea City, Su Tiankuo and his comrades searched countless times across all corners of the Sea City battlefield, never finding any trace of General Ning. Hence, he held on to one last faint glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped that General Ning did not perish in the fierce battle but was swept into some unknown small world due to the shockwaves of combat. When Fang Zhou retrieved General Ning Feihu's inscribed "Die with the Demon" battle banner from a kobold warlock leader and subsequently discovered General Ning's remains in a fierce ant's nest, Su Tiankuo's feelings were the most complex within Sea City Military Academy. There was some sadness, mourning the fact that General Ning Feihu truly had sacrificed in that bloody battle decades ago. But more of it was relief. The man has passed, but the descendants remain. The windswept figures of history are to be seen in the present age. With one Ning Feihu down, hundreds and thousands of Su Tiankuos stood up again. After Su Tiankuo, emerging talents like Lu Hu and even Fang Zhou continue to rise, supporting the last backbone of human civilization together. Presumably, if General Ning Feihu has awareness in heaven, seeing the Human Alliance now standing equally against demons and the now flourishing Sea City Military Academy, he would finally rest easy. At this time, Lu Hu finally also understood the source of Fang Zhou's [Berserker Mark]. He looked towards Su Tiankuo with some delight to confirm, "Principal, this should be General Ning Feihu's heroic spirit's last gift to Fang Zhou, right?" Su Tiankuo came back to his senses, remaining silent, merely nodding calmly. Lu Hu confirmed his guess, repeatedly muttering "Pass the flame, pass the flame." Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Principal, regarding General Ning Feihu's funeral, Fang Zhou should be eligible to attend, right?" Before Su Tiankuo could respond, Su Xinyan chimed in, "Messages from the Dawn Legion at the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield have arrived. After successfully breaking through the bottleneck and being promoted to Glory Champion, Lieutenant General Ning Danxin went deep into the Calamity Sun Demon Country to hunt demon powerhouses. They have already relayed the discovery of General Ning Feihu's remains by Sea City Military Academy to Lieutenant General Ning Danxin. Soon, Lieutenant General Ning will return from the Calamity Sun Demon Country battlefield to Sea City Military Academy. When the last bloodline of the Ning Clan is present, we will hold the most solemn funeral for General Ning Feihu." Su Xinyan, with a smile, gazed at Fang Zhou, who was heavily protected by the skeleton army on the arena, and continued, "Lieutenant General Ning Danxin has specifically noted her wish to express gratitude to the military academy student who found her grandfather's remains. She has put it that way. I believe no matter how high the standards for General Ning Feihu's funeral are, Fang Zhou has the right to attend!" Hearing Su Xinyan's words, Lu Hu firmly nodded and shifted his gaze to the challenge platform. At this moment, in front of the animal companions Meng Hongzhuang could count on one hand, the skeleton army summoned by Fang Zhou was arrayed in an orderly phalanx, resembling a moving wall of death. Crack. Crack. Each skeleton exuded a chilling light, its framework casting mottled shadows under the brilliant sunlight, silently telling of its loyalty and strength.
