assembling a complete set of skeleton armor on its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This armor is formed by numerous layers of bone plates precisely stacked, enhancing its defense power and giving it a more formidable presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process of armor creation is like natural growth, spreading from the spine to the limbs, eventually covering the entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone armor at each joint fits perfectly, seemingly born for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bone armor at the chest is thick and solid, protecting the fragile core within, while the head area forms a sharp bone crown, symbolizing a shift in identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, once the full set of skeleton armor is complete, the skeleton clone’s size has already surged to over two meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skeleton Armor] (White Common): Armor condensed from skeleton essence, can moderately increase full-body defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ark clenches the Bone Fist, and the entire suit of armor clinks and clanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far stronger than before, this power allows him to breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looks at the clone’s attribute panel—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Clone] Skeleton Warriors\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier] Black Iron·Lower\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attributes] Strength 30, Constitution 30, Agility 30, Spirit 30\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Equipment] Skeleton Long Spear (White Common), Skeleton Armor (White Common)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills] Skeleton Monarch (Black Iron, Instinct), Skeleton Armament (Black Iron, Instinct), Brutal Strike (Apprentice, Perfection), Charge (Apprentice, Mastery), Weapon Specialization (Apprentice, Mastery), Block (Apprentice, Skilled), Battle Cry (Apprentice, Skilled)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Soul Power] 20\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, it has undergone a dramatic transformation, justifying a month of tireless monster battles and training by the Ark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ark does not get overly intoxicated by the growth of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortsightedness leads to future worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the skeleton clone’s power is considered good among black iron lower-tier skeleton warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Ark’s eyes, it’s just a brand new starting point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, the benefits brought by skills like Brutal Strike, Charge, and Weapon Specialization, which are apprentice-level, are no longer as obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ark, accustomed to violent overwhelming and dimensional reduction attacks, is not satisfied with these skills stopping at the apprentice level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To master black iron-level skills, the most direct way is to exchange them in the Human Alliance Skill Library, like usual, then consume soul power for a quick entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ark’s current F-level authority only allows the exchange of apprentice-level skills, without the qualification to exchange black iron-level skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he had the authority, a black iron-level skill book costs over a hundred contribution points, which Ark cannot afford at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This route is temporarily inaccessible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other route, it’s a bit more troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apprentice-level skills selected by Ark for the skeleton clone all have great potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Ark’s speculation, relying on his intellect and some help from the attribute panel, he should have a chance to deduce their upper-tier skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this imposes high requirements on his skill proficiency and soul power reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Ark decides to experiment with [Brutal Strike] first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plan is to first work hard to increase it to [Instinct] level proficiency, then attempt to consume soul power for deduction and see the results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, the skeleton clone must cautiously stay in the outer regions of Burial Wilderness, casually killing some upper apprentice skeletons to accumulate some soul power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path to becoming stronger is very clear, so Ark doesn’t waste time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He maneuvers the skeleton clone, already at black iron lower-tier, clad in armor and wielding a long spear, sweeping towards deeper parts of Burial Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade principle Ark set for his skeleton clone is always violent overwhelming and dimensional reduction attacks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At lower apprentice-tier, attack those newborn fragile skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At middle apprentice-tier, attack those lower apprentice-tier skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At upper apprentice-tier, go recklessly among middle apprentice skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he has reached black iron lower-tier, naturally his opponents should be changed to upper apprentice skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim outskirts of Burial Wilderness, a flicker of phosphorus light illuminates the silhouette of a black iron-level skeleton warrior, holding a long spear, clad in armor, impressively robust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Ark’s skeleton clone, the surrounding apprentice-level skeletons seem as fragile as toy models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confronted by the approaching skeleton ahead, Ark stands unmovable, with cold flares of soul fire flickering in his eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brutal Strike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pauses his steps, thrusting the long spear forward sharply, a keen spear silhouette cutting through the air, directly aimed at the nearest skeleton ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton long spear pierces accurately through the skull of that skeleton, pinning it to the hard ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the spear is pulled out, the skeleton instantly crumbles into dust, scattering across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint skeleton essence contained within is absorbed into Ark’s body, making the luster on his bones even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the skeleton clone’s figure flickers, drifting like a ghost in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the dance of the long spear, like a blooming death flower, each stab, strike, and sweep takes away a skeleton’s soul fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though those apprentice-level skeletons exert themselves fully to resist, they are as vulnerable as children before a giant when facing the skeleton clone, completely a one-sided slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these skeletons had wisdom, they would surely disdain Ark’s action of bullying the weak and taking advantage of the small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the skeleton essence and soul power Ark extracts from these apprentice skeletons are already minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s just using these excellent targets to practice [Brutal Strike], wanting to quickly elevate it to [Instinct] proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two hours of killing, the skeleton clone’s soul fire remains radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then does Ark feel a deep fatigue of the soul surging within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is slightly delighted in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appears that with the skeleton clone’s tier elevation, his soul strength has likewise increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also means more time for daily monster battles and leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ark turns his attention back to the main body, filled with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon gazing at the attribute panel, he joyfully notices that his tier has indeed risen to apprentice middle-tier, and the four-dimensional attributes have substantially improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attributes] Strength 3.9, Agility 3.9, Constitution 3.9, Spirit 6\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the spirit attribute, the three core attributes of strength, agility, and constitution are nearing 4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Ark’s estimate, Ye Fan, as a Demon Hunter combat professional, may have attributes of strength, constitution, and agility that are slightly lower than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ark then releases the skeleton long spear skill, materializing a bone spear, sensing its power has increased by at least fifty percent compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He takes a deep breath and looks at the skills bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Detection: Clone [Skeleton Monarch] skill has reached [Instinct] proficiency, can be used as skill material for deducing unknown skills for the main body, estimated to consume 10 soul power points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin
