Seeing Fang Zhou walk into the Skill Training Ground, Yue Lingyun immediately stopped what he was doing.

At that moment, in Yue Lingyun's eyes, Fang Zhou was wearing a striking New Star Mage Set, which was enough to make anyone green with envy.

This set of equipment, having undergone Refinement and skillful Inlaying by a high-level blacksmith, exuded an extraordinary aura from the mage hat to the rings.

Fang Zhou nodded toward Yue Lingyun and said, "Good evening, Lingyun!"

Suppressing the envy and admiration deep in his heart, Yue Lingyun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Fang Zhou, "Oh, Lord Fang, I told all the first-year Nature Series Professionals that you have Evergreen Fruits available for trade. Everyone is very interested and doing their best to find the resources you need."

Fang Zhou himself didn't hold out much hope, especially after browsing the trade channel and realizing how precious hard-currency resources were.

However, seeing Yue Lingyun unable to contain his excitement, Fang Zhou asked with interest, "And what about you? Did you find anything I need to exchange for an Evergreen Fruit?"

Yue Lingyun gritted his teeth, steeled his heart, and said, "Lord Fang, I haven't found the other resources, but I have reserved an Undead-Attribute Marvel from a second-year senior. I'm planning to make the trade with that senior tomorrow, and then I'll ask you to inspect it to see if it meets your needs."

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "An Undead-Attribute Marvel? Tell me more. What's the situation?"

Yue Lingyun hesitated for a moment before replying, "Lord Fang, to be honest, that second-year senior doesn't really know this Marvel's specific effects. He just confirmed that it is, indeed, an Undead-Attribute Marvel. Moreover, there's a high probability that it is a creation of an Undead Professional from an alien race. It might have rather strict limitations regarding the user's Energy Attributes. Precisely because of this, the senior studied it for some time but couldn't figure out how to use it. He could only roughly guess that it's a Marvel of at least Gray-Inferior quality or above."

Hearing this, Fang Zhou felt a pleasant surprise. His cultivation journey so far had exposed him to the most orthodox Human Alliance Military Academy education. What Instructor Su Xinyan had given him, whether it was the Undead Mage cultivation insights or the Moon Orchid Fragrance, were all authentic creations of human Undead Mages. To be honest, he had never encountered the fruits of wisdom from another civilization's Undead Mages. Therefore, he grew quite intrigued by the Undead-Attribute Marvel Yue Lingyun mentioned.

At this point, Yue Lingyun added with a sincere expression, "Lord Fang, I'm not intentionally trying to fool you. Within my network, I really couldn't find the specific resources you asked for. Take the Undead-Attribute Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, [Nether Amber], for example. My friends have never even heard of it, let alone seen it. As for other Soul Nourishing Resources or spirit recovery resources, almost none of the students in our year have any in stock. Even those who do aren't willing to trade them with me. I only heard about this Undead-Attribute Marvel by pure chance from that second-year student."

Yue Lingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Fang Zhou, and continued, "Lord Fang, that senior is currently away on a mission and is expected to return to Sea City Military Academy tomorrow. Rest assured, I will trade with him at the earliest opportunity. I expect to bring the Undead-Attribute Marvel to you for inspection during class tomorrow afternoon. If you're satisfied, we can certainly make a trade. But if you're not, then there's nothing more I can do. Our deal will be off, and I won't trouble you to wait any longer, Lord Fang."

This Yue Lingyun is quite the impressive guy! He spoke flawlessly, making Fang Zhou feel almost a bit embarrassed.

So, Fang Zhou nodded, gave Yue Lingyun an approving look, and said, "Then I'll await your good news. But I'd like to ask one more thing: do you have any pictures, models, or other information about this Undead Marvel?"

Yue Lingyun shook his head and sighed. "I'm sorry, Lord Fang. I only just got in touch with that second-year senior. He seems to still be in the middle of his mission and wasn't in the mood to chat. I couldn't get any pictures or holographic projections from him. Sorry to disappoint you."

Fang Zhou waved his hand in resignation. "Then it can't be helped. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to see the real thing."

Originally, Fang Zhou had thought that if Yue Lingyun had a picture or holographic data of the Marvel, he could send it through his personal terminal to the [Undead Mage Support Team] chat group and ask Instructor Su Xinyan to help evaluate it. With her expertise in Undead Magic, she could at least make a preliminary judgment on the Marvel's origin and general use, helping Fang Zhou determine its value. Unfortunately, since Yue Lingyun had no information to provide, the matter had to be temporarily dropped.

After chatting a bit more, the decisive student sensibly took his leave.

"Lord Fang, I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your skill practice time. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

Fang Zhou nodded to Yue Lingyun and then walked toward the Negative Energy Practice Area at the back of the Skill Training Ground.

It's getting late. I need to finish today's skill practice promptly. The Skeleton Clone still has a lot of work to do.

Fang Zhou sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and began practicing the [Soul Realm] skill. The New Star Mage Hat, having undergone Extreme Enhancement by Instructor Huang Qiuyue, had raised Fang Zhou's Spiritual Power limit to a whole new level. The effects of the two New Star Rings were equally potent. The special Magic Array contained within them significantly shortened skill cooldown times, allowing Fang Zhou to cast [Soul Realm] continuously in rapid succession. This efficient method of skill practice was something other Seed Students could hardly hope to match.

As the skill was cast, a window to the Soul World seemed to open before Fang Zhou's eyes. All sorts of soul fluctuations, energy flows, and even subtle emotional shifts became clearly discernible.

Outside the Negative Energy Practice Area, the other Seed Students practicing their skills, including Yue Lingyun, suddenly felt a chill, as if someone was watching their every move from another dimension.

Yue Lingyun reflexively shot a shocked glance toward Fang Zhou.

Is this feeling from Lord Fang's new skill? This person is truly terrifying!

Inconspicuously, these Seed Students quietly moved a little further away from the Negative Energy Practice Area where Fang Zhou was.

At the same time, through his [Soul Realm] skill, Fang Zhou noticed the movements of Yue Lingyun and the others. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, he restrained himself slightly and stopped specifically observing their Soul Strength.

However, maintaining the [Soul Realm] skill for an extended period was an extreme challenge to his Spiritual Power. But he didn't back down. He gently touched the [Sea City Military Academy No. 1 Seed Medal] on his chest, and the powerful effect of the [Transcendent] Enchantment manifested. Fang Zhou felt a spiritual force flowing from within the medal into his Sea of Spirit. It was a warm and pure power that instantly restored a portion of his Spiritual Power.

Next, Fang Zhou unhesitatingly retrieved a precious bottle of [Spiritual Recovery Potion] from the Space Storage Capsule at his waist. The potion melted in his mouth, swiftly converting into waves of gentle energy that replenished his depleted Spiritual Power.

Yet, Fang Zhou's methods of recovery didn't stop there. In addition to the [Transcendent] Enchantment and the [Spiritual Recovery Potion], he had also mastered [Calm and Relaxed], an essential sustain and recovery skill for Magic Professionals. A soft yet profound spiritual power emanated from his body, forming an invisible, slowly rotating aura that merged the tranquility of the outside world with his inner peace. During this process, his Spiritual Power recovered at an astonishing rate, reaching eighty percent of his previous state.

His spirit restored, Fang Zhou wasted no time and immediately resumed practicing the [Soul Realm] skill.

Just like that, an hour quietly slipped by.

After this night's rigorous training, his proficiency in the [Soul Realm] skill had advanced from [Master] to [Skilled].

While Fang Zhou was immersed in his practice, several Seed Students outside the Negative Energy Practice Area, already exhausted from their own training, were closely watching his every move. Their expressions were a mix of admiration, curiosity, and a little hidden envy.

Drenched in sweat, Yue Lingyun slumped in front of an alchemy dummy, his eyes filled with admiration for Fang Zhou's unyielding spirit.
