A thoroughbred cannot leap ten paces in a single bound. A humble workhorse, pulling for ten days, succeeds through sheer persistence.

Fang Zhou didn't want them to develop arrogant and conceited attitudes.

After his stern words left the two young assistants looking grim, Fang Zhou watched them head toward the Skill Training Ground. He then stretched and went back to his dormitory to rest.

On the way, he sent a message to Instructor Su Xinyan on his personal terminal to ask for her recommendation on an enchantment for his Seed Medal.

He didn't receive an immediate reply, so Fang Zhou lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

During the Apprentice Stage, the best way for a Professional to recover Spiritual Power and even mental fatigue was through sleep.

In the afternoon, Fang Zhou woke up refreshed and immediately checked his personal terminal. Instructor Su had already replied.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): Instructor Su, I now have a free enchantment privilege that I can use on the Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed Medal. What kind of Enchantment do you recommend?

[Undead Mage is Invincible] (Su Xinyan): "I was just about to bring this up. I have two suggestions. The first is the [Transcendent] Enchantment, which can reserve a portion of your Spiritual Power for emergencies, enhancing your overall capabilities. The second is the [Contract] Enchantment, which will slightly enhance your summoning-type Skills by increasing the quantity and quality of your Summoned Creatures, thereby boosting your Combat Ability. If I remember correctly, your Number One Seed Medal is Green Excellent Quality, so it has a great foundation. It's also a rare piece of Marvel-type equipment that can be directly enhanced with an enchantment. Regardless of which one you choose, it will be useful until you become a Bronze-tier Professional. Think it over: will you choose [Transcendent] or [Contract]? Don't stress over it too much. When you reach the Bronze Tier and can use Green Excellent Quality equipment, I can enchant it for you for free, as long as you provide the materials."

Carefully reading through Instructor Su Xinyan's reply, Fang Zhou sat on his bed and pondered for a moment before quickly making a decision.

The [Contract] Enchantment could currently only be used on the [Summon Skeleton] Skill, increasing his direct combat power. However, with his continuous learning, growth, and deductions, summoning Skills were only a small part of his combat strength. The Skill Trees for skeletal, soul, and other Undead Mage abilities would be constantly established and perfected by him.

Looking at the near future, his Skeleton Clone was already deciphering an unknown Talent Skill from the zombie every day. Once that process was complete, it would bring an explosive surge of power to both his main body and his clone. In that context, the application of the [Contract] Enchantment appeared quite narrow.

In contrast, the [Transcendent] Enchantment could directly increase his Spiritual Power reserves and had a much broader application. Not only would it enhance his endurance in intense combat, but it would also indirectly increase the speed of his skill cultivation during daily practice. For Fang Zhou, it was undoubtedly the more urgent need.

Of course, this wasn't to say that the [Contract] Enchantment wasn't powerful or practical. The fact that Instructor Su Xinyan had specifically singled it out as a recommendation was a testament to its usefulness. It was simply that when Fang Zhou considered his current situation, he was more inclined to choose the versatile [Transcendent] Enchantment over the [Contract] one, which only buffed summoning Skills.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhou let out a wistful sigh.

Ultimately, it came down to his own lack of strength and equipment. Currently, only the Sea City Military Academy's Number One Seed Medal could be enhanced with an enchantment. According to Instructor Su Xinyan, once he could use more Green Excellent Quality equipment in the future, he could naturally apply all the Enchantments he desired, like [Transcendent], [Contract], and even [Wailing]!

Having made up his mind, Fang Zhou opened his personal terminal and sent a reply to Su Xinyan.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): Instructor Su, I've decided to choose the [Transcendent] Enchantment. What do I need to do?

To Fang Zhou's surprise, Su Xinyan replied almost immediately.

[Undead Mage is Invincible] (Su Xinyan): Go to the logistics department this afternoon to pick up the materials for the [Transcendent] Enchantment, then bring your Number One Seed Medal to me. Leave the rest to me.

Instructor Su Xinyan is so dependable!

A relieved smile appeared on Fang Zhou's face as he sent another message.

[Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): Okay, Instructor Su, I'll see you after class this afternoon. No words can express my gratitude!

[Undead Mage is Invincible] (Su Xinyan): (>ω<)

After finalizing the enchantment matter with Su Xinyan, Fang Zhou crossed another task off his to-do list.

Just as he was about to gather his things for his afternoon class, a thought struck him, and he looked at his attribute panel.

Ever since purifying the Desecration Torch core and comprehending the [Night Watcher I] rune from the World Will's Attention, Fang Zhou had kept the World Rune bound to his [Summon Skeleton] Skill.

The reduced Spiritual Power cost from [Night Watcher I] had played a significant role in his recent series of battles. However, by Fang Zhou's estimation, after returning to the military academy and finishing the arena challenges, he wouldn't be facing frequent, intense combat like the Cave Hunting for a while. Keeping the [Night Watcher I] World Rune bound to the [Summon Skeleton] Skill seemed a bit wasteful.

After all, thanks to his relentless efforts, his proficiency with the [Summon Skeleton] Skill had long since reached the [Instinct] level and no longer required dedicated practice. His current training focus was the [Soul Realm] Skill, which he had comprehended not long ago. Therefore, it was only natural for Fang Zhou to consider binding the [Night Watcher I] World Rune to his [Soul Realm] Skill instead. This would reduce the Spiritual Power consumed when using [Soul Realm], and correspondingly, increase the efficiency of gaining proficiency through daily practice.

After confirming there were no flaws in his reasoning, Fang Zhou opened his attribute panel and unbound the [Night Watcher I] World Rune from the [Summon Skeleton] Skill. According to the rune's description, he would be able to rebind it in twenty-four hours.

He checked the time; it was almost time for the afternoon's Rite of the Fated Rival.

Fang Zhou packed his belongings, left the dormitory, and headed toward the School History Museum.

The Sea City Military Academy School History Museum was located in the core area of the academy.

Looking up, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, even though he had been here many times before. The exterior of the building was constructed with light gray stone and dark red brick tiles, a design that conveyed a sense of historical weight while incorporating modern touches. The interplay of light and shadow added to its solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

After pausing for a moment outside, Fang Zhou stepped into the School History Museum.

The first thing he saw was a spacious central corridor. The walls on both sides were lined with portraits of past principals, outstanding alumni, and heroes who had died valiantly in major battles. At the end of the corridor, a massive interactive electronic screen displayed a three-dimensional model of the academy.

Instructor Lu Hu and a group of Seed Students were already waiting in front of the gigantic screen.

Fang Zhou saluted Lu Hu and walked, head held high, to take his place in the line.
