as Spiritual Power was consumed, a black vortex appeared beside him, and a tattered gray skeleton, unarmed, wobbled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at its weak soul fire, Fang Zhou felt a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his perception, the average Four-dimensional Attributes of this skeleton were estimated to be less than 1, unable even to defeat an ordinary person who hadn’t awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he stroked his chin, feeling slightly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the guide, given that Blue Star is very far from the Undead Realm, the Summon Skeleton is a very Spiritual Power-consuming skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A newly awakened lower apprentice can usually summon at most two skeletons continuously, exhausting their Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his Spiritual Power seemed to deplete only a tiny fraction, about one-twentieth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means Fang Zhou could continuously summon 20 skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disparity was remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou opened the personal terminal to check the analysis of the [Summon Skeleton] skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For an Undead Mage using Summoning Series skills, the most important factor is the closeness of the connection to the Undead Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer the connection to the Undead Realm, the easier it is to get a response from the summoned creatures and the less Spiritual Power is consumed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou suddenly understood, it seemed his speculation was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Otherworld where the skeleton clone resides indeed is the Undead Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this can explain why summoning skeletons consumes so little Spiritual Power for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the skeleton clone, no Undead Mage in the world should have such an advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou smiled slightly; an Undead Mage who can summon only 2 lousy skeletons might be underestimated by everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But an Undead Mage who can summon 20 skeletons and form a Sea of Bones Skill would surely not be underestimated by any profession!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the more a skill is used, the higher the Skill Proficiency and the greater the Skill Power, and summoning skills are no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At full capacity, Fang Zhou can use Summon Skeleton 20 times, raising Skill Proficiency at 10 times the speed of an average Undead Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally brings an immense boost in combat strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding this, he unhesitatingly used Summon Skeleton twenty more times, stopping only when his Spiritual Power was nearing its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this, he also attempted to summon his skeleton clone to Blue Star through the [Summon Skeleton] skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for unknown reasons, the attempts ended in failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As dusk fell, Fang Zhou contentedly inspected the Sea of Skulls he summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Sea City Military Academy is well-funded, providing each cadet with a single apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, suddenly seeing these dozens of skulls with flickering soul fires would likely scare any freshman to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining the summoned creatures also requires consuming Spiritual Power, so after admiring them for a while, Fang Zhou banished them back to the Undead Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he searched the apprentice skill library for Undead Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professional skills were pitifully few, with only [Skeleton Meditation Method][Summon Skeleton][Touch of Corrosion][Death Missile][Weakening Beam] and a few others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for [Skeleton Meditation Method], which is necessary for cultivation, the power of the others seemed too weak, leaving Fang Zhou very unsatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the guide tips, he also browsed the Universal Apprentice Skill Library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were not many of these universal skills either, but they are the crystallization of human wisdom over decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generation after generation of professionals pondered deeply, successfully transforming a limited number of their exclusive skills into universal skills usable by all professions, allowing other professionals to complement their own weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Representative universal skills for Mages include [Mana Missile][Mana Sprint][Mage’s Hand][Mana Shield][Calm and Relaxed], and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Warriors, there are [Charge][Brutal Strike][Block][Weapon Specialization][Battle Cry], and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These seemed far more practical than what’s in the Undead Mage’s skill library.\u003C\u002Fp>",1138,"2026-06-05T17:55:40.746Z",1,"novelbin.me","f88ab3a117bfcf06cb2ae2deb56a3b636e902ca82eefcd09c580b0d3a2f24312","undead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-chapter-3","undead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-chapter-1",781,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-cover.jpg"]
