I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 85 introduces a new unit: the Skeleton Mage.

Just like before, a bright sphere of light appeared and enveloped Jiang Chen.

The ball of light lasted for a while, then gradually dissipated.

Unfortunately, no new skills were acquired.

Jiang Chen was not disappointed.

He had just acquired god-level skills and was already very satisfied.

As the number of skills increases, the failure rate of skill scrolls will also rise rapidly.

Even later, it might not succeed even after more than ten attempts.

He continued activating the skill scroll. Failure!

Another failure!

Still failed!

The series of failures did not discourage Jiang Chen; he resolutely continued to activate the skill scrolls.

Although all subsequent attempts failed, Jiang Chen already felt he had made a profit just by acquiring the Skeleton Armor skill.

After failing seven times in a row, he activated the tenth skill scroll...

The sphere of light enveloped Jiang Chen once again, and then, a few seconds later, a completely different scene appeared before his eyes.

Flames erupted!

Snow and ice are flying everywhere!

The wind howls!

Lightning flashes and thunder roars!

Four images appeared alternately before his eyes, each representing one of the four elements.

Jiang Chen felt a surge of excitement, because he knew that this meant he had acquired a new skill, and it was related to the elements.

"Gained skill: Summon Skeleton Mage"

"Summon Skeleton Mage LV1: Summon a Black Iron-level Skeleton Mage"

Although this skill is only level 1 and the summoned skeleton mage is only of the Iron rank, it is enough for Jiang Chen.

This means that he can summon one more type of skeleton unit, making the pool even more diverse!

Previously, the summoned skeletons all had physical attack attributes, but now they can finally have magic attributes!

This was a qualitative leap, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

Then, a small black hole appeared beside Jiang Chen, and a skeleton mage slowly walked out.

Summoning a Black Iron-level Skeleton Mage requires 50 points of Spirit Power, which is more than summoning a Skeleton Warrior of the same quality.

The Iron-tier skeleton mage looked tattered and worn, pale in comparison to the Silver-tier skeleton warrior of the same level.

His bones were covered in cracks, and he walked unsteadily, as if he might fall apart at any moment.

He had no weapons, but the flames on his hands burned incessantly, indicating that he was a fire-based skeleton mage.

Jiang Chen checked the skeleton mage's attributes.

"Summoned Item: Skeleton Mage"

Strength: 300

Agility: 300

"Spirit: 900" "Constitution: 300"

Skill: Explosive Flame

"Exploding Flame: Deals fire damage to the target, the damage amount is based on Spirit Points."

Thanks to the Perfect Amplification talent, all attributes were increased by 30 times.

The base attributes of Strength, Agility, and Constitution are all 10 points.

Mental strength is 30 points.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this attribute.

Although the skeleton mage's strength, agility, and constitution are not high, even lower than those of a level 1 professional, his mental strength has reached 30 points.

Furthermore, the power of its skills is determined by mental strength.

Jiang Chen understood the purpose of the skeleton mage.

These are turrets, they are the source of firepower.

The skeleton warriors were at the forefront, while the others provided full-force attacks from behind.

These skills must be quite powerful.

Now all he has to do is keep practicing his skills, leveling them up, and making the Skeleton Mage stronger and stronger.

The light shone again, lasting for about ten seconds before going out.

Jiang Chen used them one after another.

Another series of failures.

Having already experienced this before, Jiang Chen felt it was normal.

If all else fails, I can just buy a few dozen more later.

Finally, when the last scroll was activated, Jiang Chen saw a different scene again.

Whenever a skill appears, different scenes will inevitably unfold.

Just like the trailer before the movie.

The trailer was so colorful that Jiang Chen couldn't understand it.

Whether you understand it or not is unimportant; having it is enough. "Gained Skill: Elemental Resistance"

"Elemental Resistance LV1: Passive skill, increases the resistance of self and summoned creatures to elemental attacks by 10%"

I didn't expect it to be a passive skill.

Damage is reduced by 10%, and after a comprehensive buff, resistance to elemental attacks will increase by 300%.

In other words, any elemental attack will reduce the damage he suffers by a full three times.

Security has been significantly increased once again.

Although the skeleton warriors have high physical strength, the BOSS's elemental skills can still cause them considerable damage.

Now with elemental resistance, skeleton warriors are much more resistant to elemental attacks and are much safer.

Every skill of the Necromancer is useful; there are no useless skills.

I checked the time; half an hour had passed since I entered the skill training hall.

Here, time is equivalent to points.

He decisively summoned four skeleton warriors.

The number of skeleton warriors was increased to 125.

Then the skeleton mage was dismissed.

Jiang Chen's summoned creatures can be added to the summoning queue to exist permanently, or they can be dispersed at any time, which is equivalent to destroying the skeleton mage.

There was no other way; Jiang Chen needed to repeatedly level up his skills, so this was the only thing he could do.

Summon one, scatter one.

My energy was quickly depleted.

Jiang Chen then seized the opportunity to begin meditating.

In the skill training room, meditation restores mental energy quite quickly.

I can clearly feel my mental energy rapidly recovering.

It can even give people the illusion of addiction.

By the end of the hour, Jiang Chen's mental energy had recovered by more than half.

Without a second thought, Jiang Chen paid for another three hours using points.

Once his mental strength was fully restored, he began practicing his skills.

The skeleton mage kept appearing and disappearing.

Once your mental energy is depleted, continue meditating.

This cycle repeats endlessly, without stopping for a moment.

Practicing skills can be addictive; Jiang Chen finally understood the meaning of that statement.

After repeated practice, the skill to summon a skeleton mage finally reached level 2.

"Summoned Item: Skeleton Mage"

Strength: 600 Agility: 600

"Spirit: 1800"

Constitution: 600

It's still of very ordinary quality, and it still looks tattered and worn.

While it may not be as good as the skeleton warriors, it's not entirely unusable.

It's time again.

Jiang Chen had been in the skill training room for the entire afternoon, for four consecutive hours.

Repeated meditation and skill practice.

Although it felt great, I felt a bit listless.

This situation is like playing a dungeon all day.

Jiang Chen left the skill training room and contacted Hong Jishi using a communicator.

The communicator was connected, and Hong Jishi's authoritative voice came through: "What is it?"

"Lord Hong, I've reached level 20," Jiang Chen said calmly.

Hong Jishi, who was drinking tea, looked puzzled and slightly surprised: "You're level 20?"

Jiang Chen calmly replied, "Yes."

Hong Jishi was silent for a moment: "Go to the academic affairs office and wait for me."

"it is good."

After hanging up the call, Jiang Chen rushed to the Academic Affairs Office.

In the hidden space, Li Xueru couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Who's level 20?"

Hong Jishi waved his hand: "Who else could it be but Jiang Chen?"

Li Xueru was unsurprised: "Isn't this normal?"

“It’s normal, but it’s also a bit abnormal. He was only level 17 yesterday evening, and now he’s level 20 in just one day. His leveling speed is a bit fast.” Li Xueru’s face also showed a bit of surprise: “It’s really fast. It seems he’s been working very hard.”

Hong Jishi suddenly laughed out loud: "I understand now, this guy is simply soloing a nightmare-level dungeon, otherwise he couldn't have done it so quickly."

Thinking about Jiang Chen's performance on Mermaid Island, Hong Jishi felt that he was fully capable of soloing Nightmare-level dungeons.

Just then, someone walked over and said, "Something strange has happened."

Hong Jishi smiled as he looked at the newcomer: "Old man Lin, you don't care about the dungeon hall, so why do you have time to come here?"

Lin Zhenzi said in a deep voice, "A strange thing happened in the dungeon hall. There's a little guy who keeps setting new dungeon records."

“Some people even got into an argument with him today, and they almost came to blows.”

"That person said that you gave the little guy a treasure, which is why he set a new record."

Hong Jishi raised an eyebrow: "There's such a treasure? How come I don't know? Who set the record?" As he spoke, Hong Jishi handed Lin Zhenzi a cup of tea: "No rush, let's talk slowly while we drink tea. He's just a little guy, he won't cause any big trouble."

Looking at Hong Jishi's calm and collected demeanor, Li Xueru knew that the guy probably already had the answer in his heart.

Lin Zhenzi took a sip of tea: "A student named Jiang Chen, who was level 17 yesterday, first cleared the Mutant Forest and then the Spider Nest."

"This is the record he set."

Lin Zhenzi presented Jiang Chen's records.

Mutant Forest: 24 minutes 32 seconds.

Spider Nest: 22 minutes 51 seconds.

Hong Jishi and Li Xueru exchanged glances; this result was somewhat alarming.

Even the two of them were shocked.

Li Xueru said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Old Hong, could you have done that back then?"

Hong Jishi bluntly stated: "Do what? I can solo normal difficulty, but nightmare difficulty is just suicide."

"Moreover, I really don't know how this guy managed to achieve such a result?"

"I'm not saying anything more, I'm leaving. That guy should be at the registrar's office by now."

With that, Hong Jishi disappeared from the scene.

Lin Zhenzi asked curiously, "What's he rushing off to?"

Li Xueru laughed and said, "Go find this guy named Jiang Chen. Never mind him, let's have some tea."

Lin Zhenzi said, "Perfect timing, I also have something to discuss with you."

Li Xueru was slightly taken aback: "What is it?"

"Make a ring."

......

In the Academic Affairs Office, Jiang Chen met Hong Jishi.

"Lord Hong, what is the mission?"

He gets straight to the point and doesn't like beating around the bush.

Hong Jishi glanced at Jiang Chen and saw that he was indeed already level 20.

This leveling speed is incredibly fast.

It's much faster than he was back then.

Recalling his miserable past, Hong Jishi couldn't help but think to himself, "Both siblings are monsters."

Jiang Ruo reached level 30 in three months and then joined the Dragon Clan Academy, which was incredibly fast.

This younger brother is even more frightening. If this continues, he'll probably reach level 30 in less than two months.

"The task is simple: go and get something."

"Could you pick something up?"

Now it was Jiang Chen's turn to be surprised...
