Chapter 37: God-level Skill — Soul Transfer

For the vast majority of examinees, five days is indeed a bit tight.

But for Zhou Chu, he is only 3 levels away from the level 13 admission line for Shenxia University.

And in the Secret Realm Tower tomorrow, he won't even need a full day to gain the experience for these 3 levels.

Furthermore, he has some spare money now, so he should try to get himself a few useful items before the College Entrance Exam.

What Zhou Chu is particularly lacking right now is skills.

Returning to the guest room, Zhou Chu probed his consciousness into his Life Soul Artifact—the Dead Man's Coffin—to check the research progress of his skills.

At this moment, there were still 59 hours left until the research was completed.

Zhou Chu had obtained a total of over 500 Soul Fragments at the Calamity Front.

1 Soul Fragment can shorten the research time by one hour.

So, without further ado, Zhou Chu spent 59 Soul Fragments, directly paying to skip the remaining 59 hours.

【Ding! The Necromancy Research Institute has researched a new skill; go take a look!】

Zhou Chu hurriedly took a freshly made Skill Scroll out from the institute.

It was a scroll of fine quality, emitting a blue light.

Zhou Chu didn't have an abundance of Soul Fragments right now; otherwise, if he had invested more, the probability of researching a high-quality skill would have been higher.

However, for every 100 Soul Fragments invested, the probability only increases by a hair-raising 1%; it is truly too "pay-to-win"!

And to research this fine-quality Skill Scroll, Zhou Chu had spent a full 1,059 Soul Fragments.

Spending 1.59 million just to research one fine-grade skill—it can't be said to be a huge loss, but for Zhou Chu, it was very hard to come by.

After all, the skills researched by this Necromancy Research Institute are matched to his Soul Profession.

If this were on the market, no amount of money could buy it.

Moreover, Zhou Chu is not afraid of low skill quality; God-level Comprehension can raise the skill cap to the God-level.

The only thing that requires spending some time is grinding skill proficiency.

It doesn't matter; at worst, he can just find a Training Center to grind it.

This tiny bit of difficulty cannot stump him.

Zhou Chu hurriedly took a look at the newly researched skill.

【Soul Transfer (Fine-grade — Exclusive to Necromancer): Can randomly imbue your own soul vision onto a contracted servant!】

Looking at the Skill Scroll in his hand, Zhou Chu couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

"Soul Transfer, this skill looks very practical."

For Zhou Chu, as a Necromancer, being able to imbue his own soul vision onto a contracted servant will undoubtedly greatly enhance his adaptability and control in battle.

It allows him to observe the situation on the battlefield at any time without having to go out in person.

No question about it, this is definitely a must-learn skill.

Zhou Chu rubbed the Skill Scroll with his hand, directly learning Soul Transfer.

【You have learned the skill — Soul Transfer (Fine-grade)】.

【God-level Comprehension takes effect! Your skill "Soul Transfer (Fine-grade)" quality cap has been raised to God-level!】

【Soul Transfer LV1 Fine-grade (Current proficiency 0/200, max LV5): Can randomly imbue your own soul vision onto a contracted servant, but will not control said contracted servant. If the contracted servant dies, this effect expires. Consumes 1000 Soul Power Value. Duration: 10 minutes. Skill CD: 5 minutes.】

Seeing the new skill, Zhou Chu was so excited he couldn't sleep again.

He wanted to find a nearby Training Center right now to quickly raise the skill proficiency to the God-level.

So Zhou Chu took out his phone and used navigation to search nearby; sure enough, there was a Training Center less than 500 meters away from He Muxue's house.

However, Zhou Chu realized that if he went in and out of He Muxue's house, he would inevitably be questioned; it would be better to leave without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chu activated the Ghost Form on the Calamity Ring.

Transformed into a ghost, Zhou Chu passed through the wall and drifted sluggishly toward the direction of the Training Center.

Once he was far enough away from He Muxue's house, Zhou Chu immediately canceled the Ghost Form.

Because at night, there are police patrols from time to time.

They not only maintain public order in the city but also shoulder the task of detecting invasions by Calamity monsters.

So, to avoid causing unnecessary panic, Zhou Chu was still very careful.

Very quickly, Zhou Chu arrived at the Training Center.

But when it came time to pay, Zhou Chu discovered a serious problem.

He didn't have enough money on him.

Helpless, Zhou Chu could only take out a handful of Soul Fragments and place them on the checkout counter.

The young lady in charge of the register saw these Soul Fragments, and her eyes went straight.

Soul Fragments?

These are things even more precious than gold or diamonds.

And the price of these Soul Fragment things almost only ever goes up, never down.

How could this young student brother in front of her have so many Soul Fragments?

Which big family's young master is this?

Zhou Chu? The Zhou family?

Is there a family surnamed Zhou in Tianhua City?

The cashier young lady glanced at Zhou Chu's ID card, her brows knitting into a knot.

Next, she still quite cautiously used the computer to check the current exchange rate for Soul Fragments.

To save time, Zhou Chu first put down 5 Soul Fragments, and at a price of 18,000 per piece, spent 90,000 to buy a luxury large private room for 5 hours.

It must be said that the prices at this Training Center near the villa area are indeed high enough.

It actually costs as much as 18,000 for one hour; that's such a rip-off!

However, in order to accommodate more contract servants, Zhou Chu specifically requested a luxurious large private room, so the price was naturally higher.

In this way, the speed of grinding skill proficiency would also be a bit faster.

For menial and tiring tasks like grinding skill proficiency, there was no need for the two god-tier servants to make an appearance.

Looking at the Training Stakes standing upright like plum blossom stakes in the large private room, Zhou Chu began to summon Grave Diggers and Crypt Fiends from the Contract Pool.

Moreover, to cater to people of different Soul Professions, this luxurious large private room was also specially equipped with target and archery zones for ranged Soul Professionals, and even had punching bags and wrestling mats.

Indeed, the more luxurious the Training Center, the more comprehensive the aspects it could cover, almost satisfying the needs of the vast majority of Soul Professionals.

To maximize efficiency, Zhou Chu summoned some Skeleton Crossbowmen, specifically sending them to the archery zone to train alone, and even the target zone was filled to capacity.

After arranging everything, Zhou Chu went to the lounge area in the back, sat on a soft sofa, and while drinking free small beverages and eating free small barbecue, he became a very comfortable head supervisor.

【Soul Transfer (LV1 Rare-grade) proficiency +1】

【Soul Transfer (LV1 Rare-grade) proficiency +1】

……

【Your Soul Transfer (LV1 Rare-grade) proficiency has reached 200, successfully upgraded to LV2.】

……

【Your Soul Transfer (LV4 Rare-grade) proficiency has reached 1600, successfully upgraded to LV5.】

……

【Your Soul Transfer (LV1 Epic-grade) proficiency has reached, successfully upgraded to LV2.】

……

Dozens of contract servants were training vigorously together in the Training Center, and the crackling sounds filled the entire private room; the scene was quite shocking.

Four hours later.

Finally, the proficiency of Soul Transfer rose rapidly from Rare-grade to God-grade.

【Your Soul Transfer (LV5 Immortal-grade) proficiency has reached, successfully upgraded to God-grade.】

【Soul Transfer (God-grade): Can designate a contract servant to completely merge oneself into that contract servant, gaining all of that contract servant's abilities, and fully controlling them oneself. After merging, one's own attributes and the servant's attributes are stacked. No time limit. If the contract servant dies, the Soul Transfer effect disappears, and the caster will not die. Consumes 1000 Soul Power Value. Skill CD time: None.】

(Note: Affected by the 【Soul Agitation】 passive skill, the actual Soul Power Value consumed by this skill is 100.)
