Chapter 159 Exclusive Crystal Ball, Select Control Skills

"However," Su Xinyan leaned closer to Fang Zhou and changed the subject, "you little pervert are of course different!"

Judging from the strength of your mental energy, you'll probably break through to the apprentice level very soon.

Here's the deal: if you can advance from apprentice to higher rank within two months, I'll apply to the military academy to teach you alchemy ahead of schedule.

How about it? Are you confident?

Fang Zhou chuckled to himself.

I know Instructor Su's capabilities, but it seems that Instructor Su doesn't know my strengths and weaknesses!

Two months? Who are you looking down on?

Thanks to the efforts of the skeleton minions, the skeleton clones' attributes are growing several times faster than before.

With the help of the [Life Crystal], he is estimated to be able to successfully break through from apprentice to seniority in less than a month.

Thinking this to himself, Fang Zhou looked troubled and said somewhat resentfully, "Instructor Xin Yan, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"I'm just a newbie who only awakened two months ago, how could I possibly break through from apprentice to rank so quickly?"

Su Xinyan's eyes darted around, and she realized she had been making things difficult for her, so she said, "Then I won't take advantage of you."

How about we make a bet?

I'll repair this sealed bone bell for you first.

If you can advance from apprentice to master within two months, I'll give you another crystal ball that's exclusive to the necromancer class that I used before.

Seeing a hint of joy on Fang Zhou's face, she smiled slyly and said, "However, if you fail to do it, you will have to give me this bone bell for research."

As Su Xinyan spoke, she subtly glanced at the [Burning Fire Ring] on Fang Zhou's finger.

She said casually, "This little gadget looks rather ingenious, so it can be considered a nice bonus."

"So, how about it, wanna bet?"

A crystal ball exclusive to the Necromancer class?

Instructor Su is truly his lucky charm!

Fang Zhou was overjoyed inside, but his face showed a "what the heck" attitude.

"Instructor Su, I'll do it!"

Su Xinyan smiled, as if she could see Fang Zhou eating something rarely.

Based on her experience, the higher the four-dimensional attributes are, the more difficult it is to improve them.

Although Ark may seem to be only a hair's breadth away from becoming an apprentice, that small gap is as big as the ocean.

Want to break through from apprentice to master in just two months? Dream on!

The two necromancers, one tall and one short, exchanged a glance, both confident of victory, yet unsure who would emerge victorious.

Su Xinyan shook the Sealed Bone Bell in her hand again, and waved to Fang Zhou, saying, "Go play with your little assistant for a while. I can fix it in about an hour."

Fang Zhou nodded, stood up, and said, "Then I'll trouble Instructor Su. I'll come back later."

Watching Fang Zhou's dashing departure, Su Xinyan muttered to herself and looked at the sealing bone bell in her hand.

"This will be mine soon, why are you thanking me?"

The thought that Fang Zhou would finally no longer have that unsightly ring on his finger inexplicably put Su Xinyan in a great mood.

Humming an unknown tune, she swayed her hips and entered her alchemy laboratory.

Fang Zhou walked into his office and saw Bai Xiaochun yawning, her shoulders swaying.

How dare you slack off?

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly, startling the dazed Bai Xiaochun.

She hurriedly stood up and looked at Fang Zhou walking towards him, and suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment, like when she was a child and her father caught her being lazy while studying.

Fang Zhou walked up to Bai Xiaochun, looked at the messy papers on the table, and asked gently, "How's it going, Xiaochun? Any progress?"

Bai Xiaochun grabbed a few sheets of paper and handed them to Fang Zhou, nodding repeatedly and saying, "We've got a lead, we've got a lead, Fang Zhou."

I wasn't being lazy, it's just that you were with Instructor Su the whole time and didn't come out, so I couldn't report to you.

I started to feel sleepy while waiting...

?

After a brief explanation, she continued, "Like the [Bone Shield] from last time, I've also collected all the control skills of apprentice-level mages and support classes this time."

Aside from those you've already referenced and those that aren't particularly unique, I've selected a total of 10 useful apprentice-level control skills.

Look, this is some rough information.

I will send you detailed skill information via my personal terminal immediately.

Fang Zhou pulled over a stool and carefully read through the papers Bai Xiaochun had handed him.

【Spirit Cage Technique】: A control skill exclusive to the 【Psycho-Master】class.

Its advantage is that it can form a very solid and stable limiting field, and it also has a relatively good control effect on large-sized enemies.

Besides the complexity and difficulty in mastering the spell models, the drawbacks also include a significant consumption of mental energy.

【Sound Demon Sound】: 【String of Chanting】The advantage of this class-exclusive control skill is that it can silence all enemies within range, making it difficult for them to activate skills or talents.

The disadvantage is that the chanting time is relatively long and the duration is relatively short.

【Weakness and Inability】: A class-specific control skill for 【Retribution Priest】.

The advantage is that it can render a single enemy powerless, weakening their agility attribute for a short period of time, and causing a significant decrease in their movement speed and attack speed.

The downside is that it consumes a lot of mental energy and is easily countered by enemies with strong physical attributes. Even if the counter is not successful, the duration will be greatly shortened.

There were several more control skills following, and Fangzhou glanced at them one by one, nodding slightly.

Bai Xiaochun, this salted fish spirit, was quite diligent this time, and did her homework very thoroughly.

Judging from the skill descriptions, these 10 control skills are not much worse than the skills he chose when he deduced [Bone Lock], such as [Vine Entanglement], [Spider Web], and [Mud Swamp].

Under Bai Xiaochun's expectant gaze, Fang Zhou gently stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

The current [Bone Lock] skill already incorporates the essence of several control skills, and can be quickly upgraded to its limit during the apprentice stage.

He estimated that at most two of these 10 skill materials could be used.

Instructor Su Xinyan will need some time to repair the [Sealed Bone Bell], so Fangzhou might as well ask his little assistant Bai Xiaochun for her opinion.

Bai Xiaochun, who thought she had accomplished her mission and was waiting for the contribution points reward, did not expect there to be a follow-up assessment, and couldn't help but put on a bitter face.

After thinking for a long time, she twisted her jade-white fingers and answered somewhat hesitantly, "Well, if I could only choose two, without considering the difficulty of the deduction, I think [Spirit Cage Technique] and [Sound Demon Sound] are good."

Fang Zhou gave her an encouraging look and asked, "Why?"

Bai Xiaochun organized her thoughts and gradually became more fluent in her answers.

"First is the [Spirit Cage Technique]. It has no fixed shape and can be combined freely. It also has a good control effect on large-sized enemies."
