Chapter 137 Heroic Spirit Mark, New Rune [Heart of Steel I]
His flesh and blood had all been stripped away, leaving only his bones.
Two bony hands gripped two rusty giant axes, and some armor remained on its body.
From a distance, most of the skeleton shone with a golden light, like molten gold.
However, a dark, blasphemous aura lingered around the sternum, forming a stark contrast with the overall golden tone of the skeleton. The moment the Ark saw this skeleton, the [Heroic Spirit Banner] in its hand felt slightly warm, as if it had sensed its former master.
Then, it emitted a blue light, echoing the golden skeleton in the distance.
Even after a tiger dies, its might remains; even after an eagle falls, its sharp claws endure!
In the Ark's vision, it seemed to see a mighty, strong man tightly bound by black chains.
The figure overlapped with the golden skeleton before him, giving him a jolt.
At this moment, Instructor Wang Tao also realized what was happening.
His face was filled with shock, and his voice was trembling with barely suppressed excitement.
"Tiger Soul Battle Axe! Berserker Golden Body!"
These are General Ning Feihu's weapons! These are General Ning Feihu's remains!
His words were like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the tranquility of the anthill and being transmitted to the outside world via live broadcast.
At this moment, both the military academy instructors and cadets were shocked by this news.
One of the female trainees was so excited that her eyes were slightly red, and she said in a trembling voice, "I grew up listening to the heroic deeds of General Ning. I never thought that I would be able to witness the remains of a martyr being brought back to light today."
God bless the United Nations! God bless the United Nations!
A male student looked at the proudly standing skeleton in the live broadcast with admiration and murmured, "Truly worthy of being the pioneer who created the Berserker class's Golden Body skill tree!"
Despite sacrificing himself decades ago, his bones remain strong and unyielding, demonstrating astonishingly powerful physical attributes!
Inside the command hall of the underground fortress.
Lu Hu took a deep breath and said "good" three times, his joy evident in his expression.
As a Gold-tier Berserker, he was most able to sense Ning Feihu's power.
Looking at the majestic and imposing golden body of the Berserker, he sighed inwardly again.
God is jealous of talents!
If Ning Feihu hadn't died in battle, he would surely have become another legendary king.
He was preparing to inform Fang Zhou and Wang Tao to properly dispose of the hero's remains when Su Xinyan suddenly frowned.
She looked at the faint black mark on the sternum of the remains and said in a deep voice, "This seems to be a wound left by the Gold-rank Soul-Slaying Demon [Soul-Shattering Poison Arrow]."
It seems that General Ning Feihu perished because of this vicious soul attack.
It's estimated that a strong, blasphemous aura still lingers inside; it's best not to touch it rashly before it's been purified.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hu's expression immediately turned serious.
He signaled to an instructor to connect to the Ark's hunting recorder, informing the two people in the anthill of Su Xinyan's discovery.
He then asked, "Fangzhou, I saw that you successfully purified the Queen Ant's Demon Crystal before. How was it? Are you confident in purifying the blasphemous aura left behind by the Soul Judgement Demon this time?"
At that moment, a notification appeared on Ark's attribute panel.
"A resource that can be purified has been detected. Purification will yield unknown benefits."
"Estimated to consume 500 points of soul power. Begin purification?"
With feedback from the attribute panel, Ark felt much more confident.
He nodded slightly and said seriously, "I'm fairly confident."
I could sense that there wasn't much of the remaining blasphemous aura; it must have been largely worn away by General Ning's berserker golden body.
Lu Hu nodded and said, "Then give it a try, but don't be reckless and hurt yourself."
He wasn't worried that the ark might accidentally damage the remains of the fallen heroes.
After all, Ning Feihu was the creator of the Berserker's [Golden Body] skill tree.
Even though he died decades ago and only his skeleton remains, he is not someone that a mere junior apprentice like Ark can easily shake.
Fangzhou didn't hesitate and quickly stepped forward.
He had never spent 500 points of soul power in one go before.
Fortunately, his skeleton clone had been enslaving a sizable team of power levelers these days, and with the continuous supply from the two gold-tier necromancers, Su Xinyan and Sandru, during his meditation, his efficiency in acquiring soul power had greatly increased.
This time, we can barely afford the costs of this purification.
Standing before the golden skeleton, Fang Zhou concentrated his mind, continuously pouring his soul power into it.
As the power of the soul was rapidly depleted like a tide, a powerful purifying force erupted instantly, sweeping across the entire cave like a hurricane.
The blasphemous aura that had been lingering on the breastbone of General Ning Feihu's remains began to fluctuate violently under the impact of the purifying power, as if it were under immense pressure.
The blasphemous aura, like black mist, twisted and struggled wildly, trying to resist the erosion of the purifying power.
But faced with the Ark's long-accumulated and immense soul power, this blasphemous aura's resistance seemed utterly powerless.
As time passed, at the moment when the Ark had almost exhausted all its soul power, the blasphemous aura on the remains completely dissipated, and the entire cave returned to peace.
In the realm of souls, the burly man's phantom, bound by black chains, finally broke free after being purified. He laughed heartily at the Ark before vanishing with the wind.
The words "To Die with the Demon" on the [Heroic Spirit Banner] shone even brighter, as if celebrating the liberation of its master's heroic spirit.
At the same time, a purple light flashed slightly on Ning Feihu's golden skeleton, flew to the forehead of the ark, and then disappeared.
A series of pleasant notifications immediately appeared in the properties panel.
"Successfully purified the [Heroic Spirit Remains], obtaining the special artifact [Berserker's Mark]."
"We have obtained some information about the Soul Judgement Demon's [Soul-Slaying Poison Arrow] skill, but due to its high level, we are unable to analyze it at this time."
[Berserker's Mark]?
[Soul-Shattering Poison Arrow]?
Before Fangzhou could even examine the specific gains from this purification, strange phenomena began to appear around him.
In the once quiet cave, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly emerged, surging in the air like ocean waves.
Fang Zhou was slightly startled. In his vision, golden light patterns intertwined in the air, forming a huge rune pattern.
The power contained in the pattern was awe-inspiring, as if it were a mysterious language from the very origin of the world.
Having already experienced this once before, Ark reacted immediately.
This is a brand new world rune!
Just then, the golden rune pattern suddenly approached Fangzhou, as if an invisible hand was pushing him towards his body. In an instant, Fangzhou felt as if his body was being swept away by a torrent, every cell cheering and jumping for joy, as if he had been reborn.
He felt himself instantly return to his peak condition, even stronger than before.
Then, a notification appeared in the properties panel.
"Obtained the World Rune [Heart of Steel 1]".
