Class Skill Selection

Unable to find a suitable passive skill among the most needed ones, Gu Xi turned his attention to Class Skill.

This time there are more skill books here.

Most of these are skills that necromancers should learn, such as [Lesser Corpse Explosion] which is an advancement of [Corpse Explosion Art], [Bone Spike Spear] which is an advancement of [Bone Spikes], and [Bone Shield] which is an advancement of [Bone Cage], etc.

Or some new skills, such as [Poison Cloud Art], [Weakness Curse], etc.

There are also skills specifically designed to enhance the undead, such as [Necromantic Experiment] and [Undead Evolution].

It can be said that there are far more skills here than in the previous ones.

When choosing Gu Xi, one should select those that are usable to oneself.

He still has three merits left, Gu Xi must consider his own situation and make a choice.

In terms of Class Skill, Gu Xi needs a powerful ultimate move that can kill in one hit, since he can't just summon Death Avatar every time he encounters an enemy.

That kind of move that directly drains all mana isn't called a powerful attack; it's called a desperate desperate move.

Therefore, Gu Xi must have a powerful move that can kill in one strike.

In addition to this, Gu Xi needs a means of control, and finally he has another skill. Gu Xi's chosen direction is to enhance the combat power of his undead Summoned Creature.

The better skill books in front of us have all been taken.

Gu Xi carefully selected from the remaining skill books, and finally chose the three Class Skill he wanted according to his own wishes.

[White Bone Storm Level 1 (0/100): Consumes 15 mana. Creates a storm of White Bone Shards at the designated location, dealing 180% of your attack damage as damage to surrounding enemies over 10 seconds.]

This is the ultimate move that Gu Xi has chosen. Gu Xi has heard of this move before. Although the designated area is not large, it can only be extended to a diameter of about five meters at most, but everything within this range will be hit in the same way.

It can be said that all beings are equal.

Most importantly, as long as Gu Xi has enough magic power, he can keep using this move and can also reuse it in a certain place.

In other words, the power and effect can overlap. If Gu Xi's hand speed is fast enough, it should be no problem to stack the White Bone Storm four or five times in the same place.

Even with the strongest vitality, it can't withstand the full-scale attack of the White Bone Storm. This can be considered a pretty useful ultimate move.

[Undead Tendrils Level 1 (0/100): Consumes 5 mana. Creates numerous fleshy tentacles or skeletal arms at a designated location, dragging down any enemies that step into the area. While dragging enemies, there is a chance to poison, stun, or inflict curses.]

This move is the control skill that Gu Xi chose; the range of Undead Tentacles is much larger than that of White Bone Storm.

Most importantly, Gu Xi can change the range of the undead tendrils. Whether Gu Xi wants to place them horizontally, vertically, or form circles, it is all within Gu Xi's control.

Once the enemy sets foot here, they will be affected, possibly by poisoning or even falling into a coma.

The main purpose of this skill is to slow down the enemy's advance, preventing them from reaching the area in a short period of time.

This skill is quite useful when combined with Gu Xi's troops, or when used directly with White Bone Storm or Corpse Explosion.

The last skill is used to enhance the undead Summoned Creature under your command.

[Skeleton Priest Level 1 (0/100): Consumes 5 mana. Releases a temporary Skeleton Priest at a designated location. This Skeleton Priest increases the damage of all undead within 100 meters by 20% and restores 10% of their maximum health for 35 seconds.]

Gu Xi specifically asked the quartermaster about this skill, since there were some unclear aspects to it.

Regarding Gu Xi's question, the quartermaster clearly stated that the 35 seconds mentioned here refers to the duration of the Skeleton Priest's existence.

As for the buffs provided by the Skeleton Priest, they only last for these 35 seconds.

Once the Skeleton Priest disappears, sorry, the 20% damage increase will be gone immediately. As for the health restored, that's fine, it won't affect that.

When Gu Xi first heard about this situation, he didn't want to choose this skill.

Among the skills that enhance the undead, there are also [Iron Skeleton] and [Flesh Bloom] to choose from.

That's a skill that, once selected, directly increases the defense of skeleton soldiers or the attack power of Zombie soldiers.

Choosing these skills is definitely a worry-free and effortless option.

However, Gu Xi ultimately chose the [Skeleton Priest] skill, not because it was stronger, but because he discovered that it could be used in conjunction with the Death Avatar.

Although the Skeleton Priest is called Skeleton, it does not actually have a physical form. It can be placed on the back of the Death Avatar and move with the Death Avatar.

In other words, this is the only enhancement ability that can keep up with the Death Avatar.

For the Death Avatar, 20% damage is a deadly thing. Both the Dissolving Ray Machine Gun and the Death Dragon Breath will be affected by this effect.

This makes the already incredibly powerful Death Avatar even more powerful.

This is precisely why Gu Xi abandoned other options and chose the relatively rare [Skeleton Priest].

After Gu Xi had chosen all three skills, the quartermaster didn't make things difficult for Gu Xi. He simply took out a notebook, recorded Gu Xi's choices, and then let Gu Xi take all four skill books away.

"These four skill books are still useful. After learning the skills, you can read each book for another three hours."

If you read carefully, you will gain corresponding experience in the process, which is a good opportunity to improve your experience and level, so don't waste it.

Otherwise, relying on using skills to level up later on is incredibly tiring.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi expressed his gratitude to the quartermaster.

He knew these were little-known facts that others wouldn't normally pay attention to, and many people might never know them in their entire lives without someone specifically pointing them out.

The quartermaster's special reminder brought Gu Xi a lot of convenience.

Even if Gu Xi is clueless, he should still thank the quartermaster.

After all, Gu Xi really gained a lot of advantages from the quartermaster's side.

Seeing Gu Xi's grateful expression, the quartermaster was also happy.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do. If you want to repay me, then kill more of those White Walker kids, especially their leaders. The best reward you can give me is the White Baboon Skin."

"That's easy. As long as the White Walkers dare to come, I can kill a few more. I'll definitely bring you the baboon skin then."

"Great, that's spirited, that's the kind of energy we're looking for!"
