Chapter 346 Applying for a Grade Skip, Red and White Dragon Maid!
"I recently received the latest scientific research achievement from the Longxia Federal Military—a portable concentration meditation array."
When the opportunity arises, I would also like to consult you about the power of spatial attributes and the mysteries of array formations.
Upon hearing that Fang Zhou was very interested in alchemy and array formations, Chu Chengxiu's smile became even more enthusiastic.
He and Fangzhou chatted for a while longer, discussing some basic knowledge about alchemy and formations, and sharing some insights and experiences.
It wasn't until Instructor Lu Hu coughed lightly to signal him that Chu Chengxiu came back to his senses.
He smiled sheepishly at Lu Hu, then said to Fang Zhou, "The military academy has assigned me other tasks, Fang Zhou. I'll be going now."
We'll keep in touch.
Fang Zhou nodded, saluted him again, and said, "Thank you for your help, Instructor Chu."
Chu Chengxiu waved his hand and turned to leave.
At this moment, Instructor Lu Hu patted Fang Zhou on the back with some displeasure and said, "Fang Zhou, I know you have amazing talent, whether it's in the necromancer main profession or in alchemy."
But you must understand that you are currently in a golden period of rapid growth.
Ideally, you should focus all your energy on developing and perfecting your main profession.
Later on, as your progress slows down, you'll naturally have plenty of time to research these side professions.
Do you understand it?
Don't let small gains lead to big losses; a strong main profession is the foundation for your survival in this chaotic world.
From the moment Fangzhou first awakened to the moment he became the champion of the recruit competition and received much attention, Instructor Lu Hu has always taken good care of Fangzhou and done his best to consider his needs.
Fangzhou was well aware of this and trusted Instructor Lu Hu completely.
He understood that Lu Hu's words stemmed from his concerns about his future, fearing that he would waste this precious period of rapid improvement by diverting his energy to learning some side jobs.
This was naturally a well-intentioned but painstaking effort.
However, the instructor from Land Rover may have a slightly overly conservative misunderstanding of Fangzhou's talent and abilities.
Fang Zhou smiled without saying a word, and reassured Instructor Lu Hu, "Don't worry, Instructor Lu Hu."
I certainly won't neglect my main profession's training.
Instructor Lu Hu knew that Fang Zhou was a man of careful planning before acting, not the arrogant, unyielding young genius.
Therefore, after Fang Zhou expressed his opinion, he didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and said, "Fang Zhou, what Instructor Chu Chengxiu said earlier is correct. You should not be too far from the Black Iron bottleneck, right?"
Fangzhou nodded and said, "It may take another two or three months to accumulate experience before I can try to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Black Iron level."
This was mainly due to the amber I received as a reward during the new recruit competition, which greatly improved my cultivation progress.
"What's wrong, Instructor Lu Hu? Do you have any new instructions?"
Instructor Lu Hu shook his head with a sigh, patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder, and said, "Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."
Judging from your current cultivation progress, I think you're going to dominate the young powerhouses of this generation.
At least within our Haicheng Military Academy, no cadet can rival your prowess.
He paused, as if recalling something, and then said, "Fangzhou, recently some instructors have asked me for your opinion."
It depends on whether you are willing to skip to the second grade at the end of the first semester of first grade.
This saying existed even before the recruit competition, naturally because your strength at the intermediate level of apprentices was far superior to that of other first-year apprentices.
However, at that time everyone was focused on preparing for the new recruits' competition, so I did not release this news to disturb morale.
The recruit skills competition has been over for a while now, and everyone has seen your training progress and combat performance.
Many instructors have brought up the topic of letting you skip a grade again.
Fangzhou was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but also felt a sense of pride.
Instructor Lu Hu continued, "Currently, the mainstream level for second-year students is apprentice-to-progress."
A very small number of exceptionally talented top-tier students have already broken through their bottlenecks and advanced to the Black Iron level, which perfectly matches your cultivation progress.
Based on your current training progress, I estimate that you should be able to advance to the Black Iron level by the end of last semester.
If you choose to skip a grade, you can team up with the top students in the second year.
Whether you're taking on a simulated battlefield or accepting a real combat mission, it's a great choice.
After all, once you reach the Black Iron rank, you need ample practical combat training to accelerate your cultivation progress.
At this point, Instructor Lu Hu paused slightly, allowing Fang Zhou to process the information he had just shared.
Then he looked at Fang Zhou and asked, "I think this arrangement is good. What do you think?"
Fangzhou was naturally prepared for skipping a level.
Haicheng Military Academy has a special system for skipping grades, specifically designed for exceptionally talented students like him whose abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.
During their interactions with second-year seed students such as Liu Diewu and Gu Yueyuan, they had all anticipated the possibility that Fangzhou would skip a grade.
Thinking it over carefully, choosing to skip a grade to the second year would only bring benefits and no harm to Fangzhou.
The first-year students can no longer provide any assistance to Fangzhou.
Whether it's the confusion surrounding cultivation or the exchange of resources, everyone is no longer on the same level.
After some time, once Ark breaks through to the Iron level, this gap will become even more pronounced.
If they had chosen to skip a grade, many of the second-year students would have already broken through to the Iron rank.
They will at least have some common ground with Ark in terms of resource exchange.
Fangzhou sighed softly to himself.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, who had tried so hard to curry favor with him, still couldn't keep up with his cultivation speed.
This cannot be blamed on the two junior assistants who have just reached the intermediate level of apprenticeship.
They have already worked very hard, and their talent is quite good among ordinary students.
The speed at which Ark cultivated far exceeded everyone's comprehension, leaving them no chance to even catch up.
Fang Zhou then said, "Instructor Lu Hu, I naturally have no objection to skipping grades."
I'm wondering what the specific requirements are for skipping a grade?
Upon hearing Fang Zhou's answer, Instructor Lu Hu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good."
Students need to apply for skipping a level and undergo relevant theoretical tests and practical assessments.
You are currently only following the teaching progress of the first-year seed students, and there is still a long way to go to reach the teaching goals of the entire first year.
I'm not too worried about the practical testing aspect.
Your current combat strength already surpasses that of the vast majority of second-year students, so there's definitely no problem.
However, you still have a lot to learn in terms of theoretical course exams.
If you want to skip a grade after this semester, you must make up for the missed courses in the next two months.
Our military academy will prepare special additional training courses for you, but you will also need to put in your own time and effort.
The next two months will be even busier and more fulfilling than before.
At this point, Lu Hu looked at Fang Zhou and said, "How about this, I'll give you three days to consider."
You can also discuss it with Su Xinyan.
If you've decided to skip a grade, we need to start providing you with specialized instruction as soon as possible.
O
Fang Zhou nodded and said firmly, "You don't need to give me three days, Instructor Lu Hu."
I can give you a definite answer right now.
I am willing to apply to skip a grade and accept the subsequent supplementary lessons.
Please help me, instructor.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hu grinned and said, "Good, that's ambitious."
I'll apply for it for you right away.
You need to manage your time well and prioritize tasks.
Fangzhou nodded and began to plan his next training regimen.
The next two months will be very intense, as we need to maintain our daily practice while also catching up on the remaining theoretical courses from the first year.
I must ask Instructor Su Xinyan for more help.
Fangzhou chatted with Instructor Lu Hu for a while about skipping grades and taking extra classes. After saying goodbye to him, Fangzhou turned around and returned to the necromancer research group.
Previously, Fangzhou used the 500 contribution points he obtained from the recruit competition to select resources from the resource pools of the ten military academies, and selected three kinds of precious materials that could be used to hatch undead attribute black gem dragons.
Today, the three materials—Dragon Bone Grass, Netherworld Night-Blooming Flower, and Dragon Soul Crystal—have finally all arrived.
Although the fourth material, [Pure Fire], used to accelerate the hatching process of dragon eggs, has not yet been collected, it is enough for Ark to begin guiding the undead attribute.
Upon entering the laboratory, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, the two assistants, were already waiting there.
According to Su Xinyan's previous statement, in order to better utilize the effects of these three undead attribute incubation materials, they should be placed around the Black Gem Dragon Egg according to a certain magic array structure.
This is the best way to guide the necromantic energy to slowly and continuously transform the life form O within the Black Gem Dragon Egg.
Su Xinyan had already set up the corresponding magic array modules according to the diagram left by Major General Ning Danxin.
Once the materials are in place, Ark simply needs to fill in the relevant materials according to the magic array modules set up by Su Xinyan.
The proud and arrogant instructor Xin Yan would naturally not do this kind of tedious physical labor herself.
The ordinary skeletons that Ark can summon can only understand simple combat commands and cannot perform such delicate tasks.
There was nothing Fangzhou could do but continue to squeeze the remaining value out of his two assistants.
Although Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang are not yet keeping up with the Ark's pace in terms of cultivation, they are very dedicated to their support work.
Fangzhou explained the structure and importance of the magic array to them in detail. Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang listened very carefully, afraid of missing any detail.
After all, according to Instructor Lu Hu's idea, Fang Zhou was going to try to skip a grade at the end of this semester.
If they successfully pass the assessment and skip a grade, then Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang will be considered Fangzhou's junior classmates.
Trying to keep up with the pace of Ark again will be extremely difficult.
Seeing the two assistants' eagerness and beaming smiles, Fang Zhou originally wanted to tell them that he was preparing to take the grade-skipping exam.
But after thinking about it, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Let's not discourage their enthusiasm for work; let's at least wait until they finish today's work before we talk about it.
With two assistants in tow, they arrived at the incubation area in the laboratory, where a dragon egg, as black as a gemstone, lay peacefully.
An energy vortex gradually accumulated on the surface of the dragon egg.
Looking at the extremely precious black gemstone dragon egg, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang couldn't help but reveal a light of envy and longing in their eyes.
During their studies, they also learned about many naturally powerful spirit beast species.
Among these mythical beasts possessing intelligence comparable to humans, dragons are the most powerful.
Among all dragon-type spirit beasts, the Black Gem Dragon, with its unique plasticity and powerful combat strength that allows it to advance to the Glory Champion level upon adulthood, can be considered one of the top-ranking spirit pets.
Although Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang highly recognized and admired Fang Zhou's strength and potential, they were, after all, just apprentice-level military academy recruits.
With their limited knowledge, they never imagined that Fang Zhou would be able to obtain such an extremely powerful and rare black gem dragon egg from Major General Ning Danxin as a future spirit pet.
In fact, Major General Ning Danxin presented Fangzhou with a black gemstone dragon egg as a token of gratitude for the discovery of General Ning Feihu's remains. This news was not widely known under the control of Instructors Lu Hu and Su Xinyan.
Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang, who had been taking care of the Black Gem Dragon Egg during this period, were among the few people at Haicheng Military Academy who knew about this news.
Although they envied the Ark to some extent, they also knew that it deserved it.
To do what others cannot, that is true genius.
Fangzhou, along with his two assistants, admired the increasingly intense aura of the black gem dragon egg for a while longer, and then took out the undead attribute incubation materials they had obtained from the logistics department of Haicheng Military Academy from the resource box.
Under Fang Zhou's command, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang diligently filled the magic array modules set up by Su Xinyan with the three materials that Fang Zhou had painstakingly collected: Dragon Bone Grass, Netherworld Ephemeral Flower, and Dragon Soul Crystal.
As all the materials were in place according to the magic array modules carefully arranged by Su Xinyan, the atmosphere in the entire incubation room underwent a subtle change.
The energy in the air began to fluctuate, forming a visible vortex that swirled around the dragon egg.
This energy seemed to possess a life of its own, constantly increasing until the entire incubation chamber was enveloped in a thin layer of mist—pure necromantic energy.
In Ark's perception, this black gem dragon egg, which originally had no distinguishing energy attributes, gradually acquired some undead attribute colors.
Fangzhou stood aside, quietly observing everything.
He could sense that life inside the dragon egg was gradually awakening. Although the process was slow, it was undoubtedly moving in the right direction.
