Based on past experience, the Skill Deduction method Meng Hongzhuang had provided was already quite mature and complete. All he needed now was enough Soul Power to deduce the new skill he had been dreaming of.

Seeing Fang Zhou so self-assured, Meng Hongzhuang and Su Xinyan exchanged a look, their eyes filled with anticipation. They knew Fang Zhou's character well. If he wasn't completely sure of himself, he would never make such a bold claim. Therefore, everyone waited with bated breath, eager to see what Fang Zhou would do.

Fang Zhou lightly tapped his personal terminal. The screen lit up, clearly displaying the Skill Library of the Sea City Military Academy. He quickly browsed the library and found the four Enhancement Skills for Summoned Creatures that Meng Hongzhuang had listed, along with their corresponding Skill Insights.

Then, he unhesitatingly tapped the exchange button.

The terminal screen showed that the total original price for these skills was 80 contribution points. However, thanks to Fang Zhou's 70% discount privilege, he only needed to pay 24 contribution points.

The transaction was completed in an instant, and the four skills, along with their related insights, were transmitted to Fang Zhou's personal terminal. Under the watchful eyes of Instructor Su Xinyan and the others, Fang Zhou skillfully opened the holographic projections of the skills.

A notification appeared on his attribute panel.

"Sufficient Skill Materials detected for Skill Deduction. Estimated Soul Power cost: 80 points."

"Proceed with refinement?"

Fang Zhou took a deep breath and silently confirmed.

As soon as he gave the command, his accumulated Soul Power began to drain away as if it were flowing water, rapidly absorbed by the system. Driven by this force, the magical structures of the four Enhancement Skills for Summoned Creatures rapidly unfolded in his mind.

The casting principles and magical models of these skills operated at high speed within his mind, weaving together like a vast net where each thread represented a different element. The core concepts flashed before him: [Natural Crown]'s ability to gather an army's power into a single being, the precise command system of [Beast Heart], the brief explosive output from [Elemental Resonance], and the flexible use of mental power granted by [Glory Beacon].

As inspiration struck, the elements of these skills began to intertwine and merge. A magnificent vision appeared in his mind's eye: countless Skeleton soldiers gathering into a flood, infusing their power into a chosen few, transforming them into true machines of war.

Just as Fang Zhou finished conceptualizing the skill, a pleasant chime sounded from his attribute panel, announcing the successful Skill Deduction.

"New Skill Deduction successful. Please assign a name."

Fang Zhou glanced at the prompt on the Skills Bar of his attribute panel and quickly had an idea.

"I'll name it [Crowned with Death]."

[Crowned with Death] (Apprentice, Master): Guide Undead Mana to construct a Resonating Energy Field for allied Undead Summoned Creatures. At the cost of slightly reducing the combat power of other Undead Summoned Creatures within the field, this skill significantly enhances the combat power of a designated Undead Summoned Creature. The effective range, amplification, and other effects are determined by the user's Spirit Attribute, the number of Undead Summoned Creatures, and Skill Proficiency.

The description for [Crowned with Death] wasn't particularly complex, but Fang Zhou could sense it had many hidden effects worth exploring. This was an innovation with the potential to subvert the traditional laws of Summoning.

Seeing his excited expression, Instructor Su Xinyan couldn't help but step forward and ask in surprise, "Fang Zhou, you... you didn't actually pull it off, did you?"

Fang Zhou snapped out of it and reined in his excitement. He gave a slight nod and said, "Thankfully, I succeeded. The Skill Deduction is complete."

His words caused a huge stir, stunning everyone present.

Fang Zhou continued to explain, "The main inspiration for this skill came from the Natural Summoner's [Natural Coronation]. That skill is a call to the Power of Nature, which enhances Summoned Creatures and allows them to resonate with nature. I tried to integrate that concept into the summoning arts of an Undead Mage. That's why I named this new skill, which enhances Undead Summoned Creatures, [Crowned with Death]."

Hearing this, Instructor Huang Qiuyue, who was standing nearby, covered her mouth in astonishment. Her voice was filled with disbelief.

"Fang Zhou, you... you just stood there looking at the projections of four skills and completed the Skill Deduction in less than ten minutes? That's... that's the stuff of legends!"

Before Fang Zhou could even explain, Meng Hongzhuang couldn't contain her excitement any longer. Her reaction was the most direct and enthusiastic of them all. She practically pounced on him, grabbing his arm tightly, her eyes shining with fervent admiration.

"If this were anyone else, I'd think it was a tall tale," she gushed, "but since it's you, Fang Zhou, I'm not surprised at all! Fang Zhou, Fang Zhou, hurry up and show us what the new skill does! Let me see what kind of masterpiece I helped you deduce!"

Fang Zhou nodded. He was also eager to personally experience the effects of his newly deduced skill, [Crowned with Death]. However, a skill like [Crowned with Death] that enhances combat power needed a suitable target to demonstrate its full potential.

It was just like when Meng Hongzhuang fought Ye Fan. The sheer shock of defeating him in a single blow was what truly showcased the incredible power of her [Natural Coronation] skill.
