96: Crow on a plane

After upgrading Summon Skeleton Warrior to F-rank, Wei Xiaosu didn't stop but continued to upgrade it.

The base number for Skeleton Mage was too large, so he could only upgrade it once, but the current base for Skeleton Warrior was only 1, so he had to seize this opportunity.

Upgrading an F-rank skill to E-rank required 10 skill points, and Wei Xiaosu didn't hesitate, choosing to agree immediately.

"Ding~ Congratulations on spending 10 skill points to successfully upgrade Summon Skeleton Warrior (F-rank) to Summon Skeleton Warrior (E-rank)."

"Continue!"

"Ding~ Congratulations on spending 50 skill points to successfully upgrade Summon Skeleton Warrior (E-rank) to Summon Skeleton Warrior (D-rank)."

Wei Xiaosu nodded in satisfaction and stopped only after seeing that his Summon Skeleton Warrior skill had reached D-rank, but the 100 skill points he had just acquired were instantly reduced to only 9, which seemed a bit insufficient.

Now that the skill's rank had been upgraded, Wei Xiaosu prepared to stack the quantity.

He looked at the 9 remaining skill books in his hand and began to focus his mental energy to learn.

"Congratulations on successfully learning G-rank skill - Summon Skeleton Warrior."

"Talent Skill - Eternal Incorruption (SSS) activated, skill effect +1."

...

Soon, Wei Xiaosu had stacked Summon Skeleton Warrior to *10, and the explosive effect of the skill made him grin from ear to ear.

"Summon Skeleton Warrior (D-rank) (*10): Consumes 0.1 mental energy to summon 10 BOSS-level Skeleton Warriors, whose level changes with the summoner's level."

"Summon, Skeleton Warrior!" Wei Xiaosu extended his right hand, and a wisp of black mist flew from his palm, quickly landing on the ground several meters away.

In less than 1 second, a Skeleton Monster about 2 meters tall, holding a ferocious machete, appeared.

Compared to the dainty size of the Skeleton Mage, the Skeleton Warrior was undoubtedly taller, with a height exceeding 2 meters and much sturdier bones.

Just one glance was enough to tell that its combat power was extraordinary.

"Skeleton Warrior (Tier 3) (BOSS)"

"Level: 31"

"Strength: 5008"

"Agility: 4204"

"Constitution: 4718"

"Spirit: 860"

"Skill: Frenzy (D-rank)"

"Frenzy (D-rank): A wounded Skeleton Warrior will unleash stronger combat power.

The more severe the injury, the stronger the combat power, with a maximum increase of 1 times combat power."

"Damn, this is truly abnormal." Wei Xiaosu's heart trembled slightly.

A Tier 3 BOSS-level summoned beast, with a Strength attribute breaking the 5000 mark, what kind of concept was this?

Moreover, he could summon tens of millions of Skeleton Warriors of this caliber at once; he could probably easily defeat even intermediate professionals.

Next, Wei Xiaosu took out the mysterious White Bone Finger.

He still had 41% experience points, so using the finger's ability 3 times was perfectly fine.

"You will be my second King-level summoned beast.

From now on, you'll be called Zhan Jiang." Wei Xiaosu continued his peculiar naming convention, naming his second strongest summoned beast.

And after being enhanced by the mysterious White Bone Finger, Zhan Jiang's four-dimensional attributes became exceptionally powerful, even gaining an additional skill.

"Zhan Jiang (Tier 3) (King-level)"

"Level: 31"

"Strength: 14705"

"Agility: 13284"

"Constitution: 13118"

"Spirit: 3860"

"Skills: Frenzy (C-rank); Crow Takes Flight (C)"

"Frenzy (C-rank): A wounded Skeleton Warrior will unleash stronger combat power.

The more severe the injury, the stronger the combat power, with a maximum increase of 2 times combat power."

"Crow Takes Flight (C-rank): Shouting 'Crow Takes Flight' can increase the power of the next attack by 20%, with a minimum interval of 3 seconds."

The maximum effect of Frenzy increased from 1 times combat power to 2 times, which was a significant improvement.

But what the hell was this new skill?

Crow Takes Flight, and he even had to shout it out?

Was this some kind of meme?

"Thankfully, thankfully, only Zhan Jiang has this skill, and other Skeleton Warriors don't, otherwise I'd be utterly mortified," Wei Xiaosu muttered with lingering fear.

If all the Skeleton Warriors knew this move, imagine the scene of countless Skeleton Warriors simultaneously shouting "Crow Takes Flight" on the battlefield.

"Hiss~ The more I think about it, the scarier it gets!!"

Wei Xiaosu shook his head, erasing this terrifying image, and then began to compare the differences between Zhan Jiang and Xiao Shuai.

Although both were Tier 3 King-level summoned beasts, Xiao Shuai could probably take on two Zhan Jiangs without much trouble, maybe even three.

After all, Skeleton Warriors were just the lowest-level Netherworld creatures, while Xiao Shuai was transformed from the hidden profession Void Swordsman.

The gap between them was significant.

After unsummoning Zhan Jiang, Wei Xiaosu left the park.

He went to the pedestrian street outside Mo University campus, found a random restaurant, and after a simple lunch, he didn't forget to order a luxurious takeout meal for Da Sheng in his dorm.

As for how luxurious it was, it was probably a meal from Wallace! It had a burger, chicken legs, and happy water.

In the past, he wouldn't have been willing to eat something like that.

Beep beep beep~

Suddenly, Wei Xiaosu's phone in his pocket buzzed with a WeChat notification.

He picked up his phone to check and found that it was from Nan Zhi.

"Nan Zhi: Xiao Su, everyone's at the Trial Tower, do you want to come over?"

Looking at the text on his phone, Wei Xiaosu understood.

Nan Zhi was also a genius directly selected into the special training class, so she must have received Wang Guowei's suggestion, which was why she went to the Trial Tower.

However, what did "everyone" mean?

Could it be that the other 3 selected individuals were also there?

"Me: Everyone? Besides you, who else is there?"

"Nan Zhi: It's just everyone, Pei Qian and Xu Xiaoqing, but I don't know why, Xu Xiaoqing seems unhappy, I don't even dare to talk to her, she's so fierce (pitying emoji)."

"Me: Don't mind her, she's probably on her period, I'll be right there."

"Nan Zhi: ???"

....

Of course, Wei Xiaosu certainly didn't know if Xu Xiaoqing was on her period, but he knew exactly what was going on with her.

"Does this count as me getting the upper hand on her again?" Wei Xiaosu smiled bitterly.

There were only 5 special spots in the special training class, and Xu Xiaoqing was a melee type.

With the monstrous Shi Ritian around, how could the special spot for melee types possibly fall to her?

The Trial Tower was in the core area of Mo University, and non-Mo University students couldn't enter.

It was said that the Trial Tower was also an SSS-rank item, possessing the special ability to distort space.

Of course, this was just what Wei Xiaosu had heard through rumors.

Given his current status, it was far too early for him to access those secrets.

Arriving at the outer area of the Trial Tower, Wei Xiaosu looked up at the black giant tower, which was hundreds of meters high, and felt even more shocked.

The oppressive feeling from the depths of his soul was real; the legendary SSS-rank item was indeed extraordinary.
