Chapter 297 Powerful Rune, God-Level Resonance [Harvest Ritual]!
Then, Su Tiankuo used all his strength to shout loudly, "Respectfully sending General Ning Feihu to his peaceful rest!"
Some of the onlookers in the crowd couldn't help but cry.
The war drums sounded again.
It seems to be depicting the final act of bravery of a hero, and also seems to be singing the praises of the glory of soldiers.
Then, the pallbearers carried the coffin and slowly began to walk towards the cemetery.
The moment the crystal coffin entered the cemetery, the guards on both sides of the road and the soldiers in the cemetery slammed their ceremonial halberds to the ground.
when!
All the onlookers watched the funeral procession in solemn silence.
In their eyes, there was solemnity, awe, and a hint of envy!
If a soldier can die like this, what more could a true man ask for?
Su Tiankuo stood solemnly at the entrance of the cemetery, and cried out, "The souls of our soldiers have returned, and heaven and earth grieve together; their heroic spirits will never perish, their heroic souls will live on forever!"
His voice echoed in the air, as if it had traveled through time and space, resonating with everyone present.
"Return to the soul! Return to the soul!!"
At this moment, everyone present watched solemnly as everything unfolded before them.
They stood ramrod straight, the veins on their hands gripping their weapons bulging from the effort.
The cemetery gate is made of cypress logs and is decorated with a Longxia military flag.
With red as the background color, the white characters "Longxia" float on top, making it look extremely solemn and dignified.
Then, the sounds of horns and war drums rang out from the cemetery.
Amidst the bugle calls and the sound of war drums, the funeral procession moved slowly and heavily.
The atmosphere was so intense that it was almost suffocating for those around them, as if the whole world was mourning the passing of this hero.
The funeral proceeded in an orderly manner until General Ning Feihu's coffin was slowly lowered into the tomb.
Just then, Fangzhou, who had been immersed in the solemn atmosphere of the funeral, was suddenly startled and felt an indescribable wave surging from the bottom of his heart.
It was a warm and inclusive power, gently enveloping him like the warm spring sun, making people feel at ease and peaceful.
The air around us, which had been quite stuffy, now seemed unusually fresh, as if the oxygen content in the air had increased dramatically, making us feel refreshed.
Even the tiny dust particles in the air seemed to be given life, jumping merrily. They shimmered in the sunlight, forming beams of light that illuminated every corner around them.
Fang Zhou closed his eyes, letting the warm breath seep into every pore of his body and penetrate deep into his bones.
His mind and body underwent an unprecedented baptism under the influence of this power.
This feeling is like a dried-up river being nourished by spring rain, regaining its vitality and flowing with clear spring water, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
Fangzhou quickly realized that he had once again gained the attention of the world's will.
This represents an excellent opportunity to understand the world's runes.
Before he could even speak to his instructor, Su Xinyan, he immediately became engrossed in a profound realization.
Apart from Fangzhou, all those who attended the funeral were high-level professionals at least at the Silver rank.
Although most of the spectators did not have the talent or opportunity to comprehend the World Runes, they had at least seen it all.
This fluctuation in global attention frequently occurs on the battlefield between humans and demons.
Therefore, those in the know are naturally familiar with this and immediately exclaimed, "The world's will has shown its attention; which lucky one is it?"
Following the fluctuations of this mysterious power, everyone present turned their gaze to the ark behind Su Xinyan.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the mysterious fluctuations accumulating on Fangzhou grew stronger and stronger. Then, a small part of it split off, crossed the distance of space, and descended directly onto Major General Ning Danxin, who had a sorrowful expression on her face.
Major General Ning Danxin was slightly taken aback, and then she also fell into a rare state of enlightenment.
On the viewing platform, the several blurry phantoms of saints were also slightly taken aback, turning their gazes toward Fang Zhou and Ning Danxin.
An aged female voice said with some doubt, "We had long anticipated that Danxin, as the granddaughter of the Tiger and the last descendant of the Ning clan, would receive the attention of the world's will."
But who is this young man?
Upon hearing this, Su Tiankuo turned around and returned to the viewing platform, replying, "His name is Fang Zhou, and he has awakened the necromancer class."
General Ning Feihu's remains were discovered by him in Cave 1 of the Haicheng Military Academy.
Perhaps this is why he has gained the attention of the world's will.
Then, Su Tiankuo briefly recounted the legendary deeds of Fangzhou over the past few months.
"A necromancer?"
The white-haired female saint seemed somewhat surprised.
It seemed that even she hadn't anticipated that this rare profession, which was considered by the world to have unrealized potential, could shine so brightly in a novice apprentice.
Her eyes held both surprise and a hint of deep thought.
The wisdom accumulated over the years filled her with awe for the world, yet also made her even more curious.
In her memory, the profession of necromancer was always closely associated with darkness, mystery, and untapped potential.
Over the years, countless geniuses have attempted to climb this peak, but most have given up halfway, leaving behind only endless regrets and unsolved mysteries.
However, what she saw today completely overturned her understanding.
An ordinary-looking apprentice was able to amaze everyone present with his astonishing fighting prowess.
However, for her and the Saint-level powerhouses around her who were far stronger than legends, such a performance, though remarkable, was only a flash in the pan.
They know that true strength requires the accumulation of time and experience, and countless brushes with death and breakthroughs.
Therefore, they did not show much surprise or admiration, but simply cast a slight glance at the ark with an almost scrutinizing look.
At the same time, more attention and pressure naturally focused on Ning Danxin, the champion of Glory.
She stood there like an unshakable monument, not only because of her strength and status, but also because of the spirit and beliefs she represented.
In her, people saw courage, sacrifice, and perseverance.
These qualities shine brightly within the Longxia Federal Military, becoming a beacon in the hearts of countless people.
In this atmosphere, the entire funeral scene appeared even more solemn and dignified.
The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became a cautious affair.
People stood silently, their hearts filled with sorrow and respect for the deceased, while also feeling shocked and curious about what was happening before their eyes.
Just then, Fangzhou slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes gleamed with disbelief, a complex mix of shock, joy, and anticipation.
The prompts from the attribute panel resounded in his mind like heavenly music, announcing his tremendous achievements.
"You have redeemed a heroic spirit who sacrificed himself to save the world, earning the attention of the world's will."
"Acquired the World Rune [Gallows!]".
Looking at the attribute panel, in addition to [Night Watchman!] and [Heart of Steel!], there was indeed a new rune in the [World Runes] section.
[Gallows!]: A reward from the World's Will, a basic World Rune that can be bound to a direct damage skill. Each time this bound skill is used to kill an enemy, it restores a certain amount of Spirit and Mana. It can be unbound at any time, but requires a 1-day cooldown after unbinding.
Does defeating enemies restore mental energy?
Killing enemies restores mana—a fantastic skill for sustaining your character!
Fang Zhou's eyes flickered slightly. Judging from the description on the attribute panel, this [Gallows!] rune was completely consistent with the information he had learned from Instructor Su Xinyan in the World Rune Encyclopedia.
Although it doesn't have any fancy effects, it has a simple yet powerful quality.
This world rune needs to be bound to a direct damage skill.
Of the apprentice-level necromancer skills he currently possesses, only two are direct damage types: the single-target attack Bone Spear and the area-of-effect damage Death Ripple.
After he comprehended the world rune [Gallows!], regardless of which damage skill he chose to bind it to, he could restore mental energy for each enemy he killed, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance his ability to sustain combat.
However, before Ark could fully decide which skill to bind, a notification suddenly appeared on the attribute panel:
"Detected that you possess three World Runes: [Night Watch], [Heart of Steel!], and [Gallows], you can activate Rune Resonance."
"Activate?"
Fangzhou's eyes lit up, and he chose to activate it without hesitation.
From the world rune data transmitted to him by Instructor Su Xinyan, he had long understood that different combinations of world runes could potentially activate extremely powerful rune resonances.
However, even the simplest rune resonance requires the simultaneous comprehension of at least three world runes to activate.
Fangzhou recalled his previous experiences.
During the purification of the core of the desecrated will-o'-the-wisp in Cave 1, he gained the attention of the world's will and comprehended the [Night Watchman I] world rune.
Then, while purifying the blasphemous aura left behind by the Soul-Slaying Poison Arrow skill from the Soul-Slaying Demon on General Ning Feihu's remains, he also comprehended the World Rune of Heart Steel!
And now, during General Ning Feihu's funeral, the [Gallows!] world rune he comprehended was so fortunate as to activate a rune resonance.
Having already grasped the power of rune resonance, Ark naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
As he activated the command, Ark felt a warm and powerful force surge from within him, as if three invisible bonds were tightly connecting the three runes together, forming a stable triangle.
Immediately afterwards, the three world runes began to rotate and merge deep within his mind, eventually forming a strange yet mysterious pattern.
[Night Watchman 1] Runes reduce the mana cost of skills;
[Heart of Steel] Rune grants immunity to the negative effects of mind control skills;
The [Gallows!] rune provides a mana regeneration effect upon killing an enemy.
Three world runes, each with a different rune effect, resonate in a magical way under the influence of a mysterious rhythm.
Then a notification appeared in the properties panel:
"Runic Resonance [Harvest Ritual] successfully activated."
Fangzhou immediately looked at the description in the World Rune section of the attribute panel.
[Harvest Ritual]: A rune resonance composed of three world runes: [Night Watch], [Heart of Steel], and [Gallows]. Charges are accumulated upon successfully casting a skill, gaining immunity to mind control effects, and defeating an enemy. Once a certain charge level is reached, it can be consumed to significantly boost one's four main attributes for a limited time, temporarily breaking through rank restrictions. The charge level, boost magnitude, and duration depend on the world rune level.
After carefully reviewing this brand-new [Harvest Ritual] rune resonance, Ark couldn't help but feel a slight sense of delight.
He immediately recognized that this was a powerful new resonance that had never appeared in the World Runebook before.
This is actually quite reasonable.
After all, the World Runebook already records the [Heart Steel] and [Gallows] used to create resonance, but the [Night Watch] is a brand new World Rune that only the Ark has comprehended, so the rune resonance activated by it is naturally also brand new.
Moreover, the [Harvest Ritual] resonance essentially provides Ark with a brand new channel for unleashing firepower.
Whenever Ark successfully casts a skill, becomes immune to mind control effects, or kills an enemy, it can accumulate charges for [Harvest Ritual].
Once fully charged, Ark can enter a state of explosive growth, significantly boosting its four attributes: Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit, thus greatly enhancing its combat power.
Not to mention, this burst state can temporarily break through the restrictions of a professional's rank.
This terrifying effect is extremely rare, at least for the Ark, it is unheard of.
The title "Sea City Military Academy Seed No. 1" that Ark currently possesses also has the practical effect of slightly increasing the four main attributes within the Sea City Military Academy area.
However, this effect is very weak. Although it is better than nothing, the improvement is not very obvious for Ark.
Secondly, the four-dimensional attribute boost provided by such ordinary titles cannot exceed the professional rank limit.
For example, Ark's current rank is upper apprentice, and its spirit attribute is less than 10 points.
Even with the title of "Number One Seed of Haicheng Military Academy," it's impossible to break through to above 10 points.
However, judging from the effect description of the [Harvest Ritual], the boost to the four-dimensional attributes obtained through this resonance can directly break through the professional rank.
In Fangzhou's view, if he successfully casts the [Harvest Ritual] now, and with the added energy, his Spirit attribute is very likely to exceed 10 points, reaching the lower tier of Black Iron.
This is a qualitative change for any professional.
Harvest rituals, how terrifying!
In terms of both power and practicality, the effect of [Harvest Ritual] is top-notch among the rune resonances known in Ark.
This ability not only allows him to unleash extraordinary combat power at critical moments, but also gives him more trump cards when facing crises, thus ensuring his own safety.
