Learn Leadership

As the Giant Skeleton rose, for some reason Gu Xi had the feeling that the Skeleton was a suitable size for the Death Intent Giant Armor.

The idea only flashed through Gu Xi's mind.

Gu Xi's attention was immediately drawn to the Black Robe Skeleton emerging from the mouth of the Giant Skeleton.

"Oh, it's you! You're back so soon? Did you get what I asked for?"

Gu Xi nodded, took out the packaged Skull Flower, and placed it on the ground.

Upon seeing the ten Skull Flower packed in a box, the Black Robe Skeleton's eyes visibly lit up.

"That's right, this is exactly what I wanted. It seems you're quite capable."

The Black Robe Skeleton paused for a moment, then immediately reacted, leaping out of the Giant Skeleton's mouth and walking towards Gu Xi.

"You said before that you wanted to learn leadership skills, right? Here, take this."

The Black Robe Skeleton casually took out a Skeleton and handed it to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi took the Skeleton and looked at the Black Robe Skeleton with some confusion.

"If you stick this between your eyebrows, you can learn leadership skills."

Gu Xi took the Skeleton and glanced at it, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Because when he received the Skeleton, he did not find any prompts to complete the Temporary Task.

In the past, Gu Xi might have chosen to believe it.

However, since the Sessho-seki incident, Gu Xi has become quite wary of certain things.

Gu Xi dared not mess with something that directly affected his mind.

"Forget it, is there any other more direct way? You posted the task before, just confirm it and let me complete the task."

Gu Xi pushed the Skeleton back and handed it back to the Black Robe Skeleton Skeleton.

The flames in the Black Robe Skeleton's eye sockets instantly turned ice blue.

However, he did not have any conflict with Gu Xi.

He issued the task, Gu Xi completed it. Therefore, the promised reward must be given.

This is how Gu Xi obtained his previous Death City and Death Avatar.

The Black Robe Skeleton had no reason to withhold Gu Xi's reward.

He grinned, a cold sound emanating from his throat.

"Good!"

The next instant, a voice came to Gu Xi's ear.

[Temporary Task: The progress of "Blossoming Bones" has changed; submit the Skull Flower.]

[Temporary Task: Blossoming Bones (Completed)]

[Task Reward: Leadership Skills]

[Leadership Skill Level 1: Increases troop morale. For each level of Leadership Skill gained, troop morale increases by 1, and the chance of high morale increases by 4.2%.]

[Note 1: Undead and mechanical creatures are not affected by morale.]

[Note 2: After mastering leadership skills, you will embark on a new path. When choosing this path, please be careful, as there is no going back once you've made your choice.]

Looking at the leadership skills he had finally mastered, a hint of a smile flashed in Gu Xi's eyes.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the second explanation.

It seems he's not the only one who chooses leadership techniques when they don't require them from his subordinates.

But what does "choosing a road" mean here?

There's some uncertainty about the Gu Xi here.

Surely there couldn't be another direction besides the direction of the Death Edict? Just as Gu Xi was checking the situation, the Black Robe Skeleton spoke again.

His tone returned to its original state.

"I was saying, now that you've mastered leadership skills, how about you learn logistics? Oh, and I have another task I'd like to ask you for help with. I wonder if you'd be willing to take it on?"

"I'm willing, but not now."

Gu Xi casually replied.

"I've taken on a few other tasks here, and now that I've mastered the most important leadership skills, I can finally relax here."

Gu Xi said this on the surface, but he actually had no intention of completing the task assigned to Madam Sha.

Gu Xi had only one thought at this moment: to find a safe place and learn the three branches of leadership skills.

Then we'll figure out a way to break the Death Edict.

If he's lucky, he might be able to get the Death Edict sorted out this time.

If he's unlucky, he'll have to go back and think of another way.

Then I'll have to try and pry from the Black Robe Skeleton and Madam Sha to see if I can get one or two skill stones to ensure I can learn the Death Edict in this Mysterious Academy.

After all, Gu Xi knew where he could learn about Death Edict.

However, Gu Xi never expected that his excuse would elicit a reaction from the Black Robe Skeleton.

The flames in the Black Robe Skeleton's eye sockets turned ice blue again.

However, he did not stop Gu Xi from leaving. Instead, he said to Gu Xi, "That's only right. But I'm warning you, the person on the train is my mortal enemy. If you go over there now, you will definitely be attacked."

"Don't worry about that. My main goal this time is leadership skills. Everything else is secondary. I can't learn anything other than leadership skills at the train station. What would I do there?"

The Black Robe Skeleton nodded in satisfaction. "That's it. By the way, if you want to learn Pathfinding, you can keep heading north. Deep in the mountains, there's a large platform where you can find people from the Bat Department. They'll assign you the task of learning Pathfinding."

"A platform?"

Gu Xi thought about the Sky City he had seen in the sky before and made a judgment in his mind.

Gu Xi smiled and replied to the Black Robe Skeleton's kindness, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."

"It's nothing, it's just that we're destined to meet, isn't it? If you want to learn anything else, you can come find me, I'll teach you until you learn it."

Gu Xi didn't listen to these words. At this moment, he only wanted to leave as soon as possible and deal with the Death Edict first.

Seeing that Gu Xi was determined to leave, the Black Robe Skeleton did not stop him.

However, this time when Gu Xi left, the Black Robe Skeleton was not carried underground by the Giant Skeleton as before, but looked in the direction Gu Xi left with a strange expression.

After Gu Xi walked away, a Skeleton Behemoth fell from the sky. This Skeleton Behemoth looked like a reindeer with bat wings and crocodile fish.

When it landed next to the Black Robe Skeleton, its head was noticeably larger than the giant Skeleton the Black Robe Skeleton was standing on.

There was Longsword that looked very much like the Darnathres Sword stuck in the center of the beast's forehead.

"So close, just a tiny bit more. Why is that damn guy so stubborn?"

Fortunately, the Death Intent Giant Armor has been destroyed. Now go and retrieve Professor Matt's body. Once you get the Soul Control Bell from him, the Puppet scattered here can be used.

The Black Robe Skeleton glanced at the Skeleton Behemoth beside him and gave a somewhat annoyed command.
