Fang Zhou ignored his surroundings and decisively activated the [Corpse Armor] skill on the Mutated Zombie's Corpse. In an instant, an unprecedentedly powerful stream of Corpse Essence, like a torrential flood, surged into Fang Zhou's body. The power of this essence far exceeded any of his previous experiences. As the essence flowed in, Fang Zhou felt his body being enveloped by a mysterious force. He keenly perceived that the Energy entering his body this time was more than just Corpse Essence; it contained a new component, a power he had never encountered before.
While he was immersed in the baptism of this unknown power, a prompt appeared on his attribute panel: "Unknown Energy detected. Analyzing." A hint of anticipation stirred in Fang Zhou's heart. A moment later, the analysis results from the attribute panel appeared: "Analysis complete. This energy source is the pure Energy released from the decomposition of White Bone Stone. Absorbing this type of Energy can, to a certain extent, increase the Racial Combat Power Coefficient of Undead Creatures."
Fang Zhou guided the warm and powerful Energy to circulate throughout his body while carefully reading the explanation on the attribute panel. A moment later, his Soul Fire trembled slightly, and understanding dawned on him. Fortune is born from misfortune, and misfortune lurks within fortune. He had originally been enraged because the Mutated Zombie, in its rapacious consumption, had utterly destroyed a valuable White Bone Stone Crystal Cluster—a precious resource that could have continuously produced White Bone Stones.
Unexpectedly, this Mutated Zombie turned out to be quite useful.
The Mutated Zombie had not only devoured the Energy from the White Bone Stone Crystal Cluster but had also condensed its essence within its own body. It was due to this concentrated essence that its Racial Combat Power Coefficient had risen, greatly enhancing its combat strength in a short amount of time. However, all success and failure is fleeting. Now, under the devouring power of Fang Zhou's [Corpse Armor] skill, all the essence within the Mutated Zombie was plundered. This naturally included the enhancement Energy it had gained from consuming the White Bone Stone Crystal Cluster.
As the surging power within the Mutated Zombie flowed into him like a raging river, Fang Zhou's Corpse Body, which was originally only two meters tall, began an incredible process of growth and evolution. Every inch of his skeleton underwent a heaven-and-earth-shaking transformation. Propelled by this force, his entire frame expanded and grew larger. The corpse armor that had originally fit him perfectly could not withstand this sudden change. As his body grew, the armor emitted a crisp cracking sound and shattered into pieces.
Almost simultaneously, new armor began to form on Fang Zhou's body, as if invisible craftsmen were meticulously weaving and forging it. This new armor was incredibly hard yet perfectly molded to his ever-changing physique. It seemed almost alive, fluctuating with each pulse of Energy. It wasn't just his height that changed. Under the tempering and nourishment of the White Bone Stone's essence, Fang Zhou's bones became sturdier and purer. Each one now radiated a faint, jade-like luster, as if they were treasures that had been refined a thousand times over, exuding an indescribable sense of power. This transformation was not merely superficial; it penetrated deep into the very essence of his skeleton, elevating his bone strength to an astonishing new level.
Furthermore, the fascia between his bones also began to change, becoming far more resilient and elastic. This granted Fang Zhou not only a powerful physique but also unimaginable flexibility. His movements became fluid and unconstrained, with every joint able to extend freely. He was no longer restricted, whether he was moving swiftly or attacking fiercely. Now, the Skeleton Clone's flexibility was on par with that of human Combat Professionals of the same level.
More importantly, as a Skeleton, he had no vital weak spots. This rendered him nearly immune to conventional weapons in combat. Even the most lethal of strikes would be a mere flesh wound to him. Coupled with the unparalleled resistance to attacks and formidable power inherited from the Skeleton and Zombie Races, he was nearly invincible on the battlefield.
The current of heat absorbed from the Mutated Zombie's Corpse meandered through Fang Zhou's body like fine threads of fire, gradually converging into a torrent. After a long while, this torrent finally subsided. When the last wisp of heat dissipated, Fang Zhou slowly opened his eyes, snapping out of the euphoria brought on by his evolution.
He looked at the attribute panel of his Skeleton Clone and noticed a significant increase in all his Four-dimensional Attributes. However, this enhancement of his basic stats was merely an appetizer in the grand feast of evolution. Fang Zhou's true joy stemmed from a much deeper transformation: the leap in his Racial Combat Power Coefficient. This was an improvement that couldn't be measured by a single numerical value.
It was reflected in the improved perfection and synergy of his entire physique, as well as his mastery over his own body. His form was now like a meticulously sculpted work of art. The contours of his body were more streamlined, his bone structure more stable, and his internal energy network more cohesive. Fang Zhou's Perception reached unprecedented heights. He could sense the exertion of every piece of flesh, the movement of every bone, and the flow of every thread of Energy within his body, achieving an ultimate understanding and control over his physical form.
This increase to his Racial Combat Power Coefficient was, to Fang Zhou, far more precious than acquiring an entire, intact White Bone Stone Crystal Cluster. Furthermore, on the attribute panel's Skills Bar, the analysis progress for the Unknown Talent Skill from the Zombie Race had advanced significantly thanks to the absorption of the Mutated Zombie's essence.
