Skeleton Soldiers were relatively weak dimensional creatures. They weren't fast or strong, and their physiques were weak. Schools had taught them how to deal with Skeleton Soldiers. As long as the typical high school student's cultivation wasn't too bad, dealing with one or two Skeleton Soldiers wouldn't be a problem.
Although Zhou Wen had never fought a real Skeleton Soldier, he could tell that it was much weaker than a Vigor Ant. He didn't know its Strength or physique, but its Speed was at most at Level 3.
He controlled the blood-colored avatar to charge forward as the Skeleton Soldier smashed down with its club. However, it was too slow. Before the bone club could hit the blood-colored avatar, it was smashed into smithereens, reducing it to a pile of bone dregs.
Ding!
Among the broken bones on the ground, a dimensional crystal dropped. Zhou Wen took a careful look and realized that it was a Skeleton Soldier crystal.
Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised. The drop rate of Primordial Energy Skill Crystals was just too low. It could be considered lucky to have one drop the moment he started.
Unfortunately, it's only a Skeleton Soldier Primordial Energy Skill. According to the school's information, the Skeleton Soldier's Primordial Energy Skill is Skeleton Palm. It can only increase one's Strength slightly, but the effects aren't very strong. Furthermore, they are typically low-rank Primordial Energy Skills at Rank 1. Zhou Wen felt somewhat disappointed when he recalled the school's information.
He controlled the blood-colored avatar to pick up the Skeleton Soldier Crystal. Immediately, the crystal transformed into a grayish-white stream that drilled into the blood-colored avatar's body.
At the same time, Zhou Wen felt a cold aura enter his palm through his phone before circulating through his body, forming a strange Primordial Energy circulation route.
Obtained Primordial Energy Skill: Skeleton Palm (Rank 1). Consumes 1 Primordial Energy point.
Skeleton Palm only consumes 1 Primordial Energy point. It's much less than Vigor Divine Fist. However, its strength is much weaker. It should be one of the weakest Primordial Energy Skills. Zhou Wen knew that the more Primordial Energy a Primordial Energy Skill expended, the stronger it was. A Primordial Energy Skill that only expended one Primordial Energy point was definitely weak.
It wasn't convenient to test the might of Skeleton Palm here, so Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to continue walking into Ancient Imperial City.
Zhou Wen didn't know why Guide Ancient City was called Ancient Sovereign City in-game. Based on what he knew, Guide City was an ancient city with a long history. In ancient times, it had names like Yingtian and Shang. Its history could be traced back to the mythical era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Among the Five Emperors, the Great Emperor Zhuanxu once built his capital here, but he later moved the capital to Diqiu. The head of the three emperors, Suirenshi, was born here. Among the Five Emperors, Emperor Ku and his son Qianbo were also born here.
The name 'Emperor Ku' might sound unfamiliar to most people, but the original form of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun in the Classic of Mountains and Seas was Emperor Ku.
These were only legends. No one knew if they really existed. However, ever since the dimensional storms, Guide Ancient City had become a dimensional zone. To this day, it had yet to be fully explored.
A few years ago, a powerful human at the Epic stage had charged deep into Guide Ancient City, but he vanished without a trace. From then on, no one dared to venture deeper.
After decades of evolution, the strongest human was only at the half-step Mythical stage. There had never been a true Mythical expert. Although it was said to be half-step Mythical, it was actually only at the pinnacle of the Epic stage. For such an expert to never return, it was obvious how terrifying the depths of the ancient city were.
Thankfully, dimensional zones seemed to have powerful restrictions. It was difficult for the creatures within the zone to charge out. Otherwise, human society would have long been turned upside down. It wouldn't have been as peaceful as it was now.
Summoning the Mutated Vigor Ant, the man and ant charged deep into Ancient Sovereign City. From time to time, Skeleton Soldiers would charge at them, but they were easily slain by the man and ant.
However, apart from the first Skeleton Soldier they encountered after entering, no other crystals dropped. The drop rate of Skeleton Soldiers was even lower than the Vigor Ant.
In-game, Zhou Wen tested the might of Skeleton Palm. Indeed, it was much weaker than Vigor Divine Fist. It could only increase his Strength by about ten to twenty percent. It was much weaker than Tian Xiangdong's Lightning Fist.
However, Skeleton Palm had an advantage. Its strength was gentle and the range of force exertion was small. It wasn't as wide as Vigor Divine Fist, and its palm technique was extremely nimble.
Skeleton Palm is more suitable for fusing with Inch Punch. However, Skeleton Palm's might is too low. Even if the fusion succeeds, the damage it can deal to the Silver-Winged Flying Ant will be limited. As Zhou Wen pondered, he sensed someone walking towards him.
There were many students waiting for the combat test to begin. However, Zhou Wen had chosen a corner, so it was highly likely that someone was looking for him.
Thankfully, there weren't many Skeleton Soldiers. The Mutated Vigor Ant was enough to deal with them, so it wasn't a problem for Zhou Wen to be slightly distracted. He looked up to take a look.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that it was Li Xuan, but when he saw who it was, he was slightly taken aback. The person was An Jing, who he hadn't seen since defeating Zhou Wen in one strike.
An Jing wasn't a girl with a modern aesthetic. She didn't have a sharp chin, double eyelids, or a high nose bridge. Her looks were more of a classical beauty. She had a tiny nose and a handsome face with some baby fat. Her eyes resembled a cat's, and her gaze was firm and forceful.
She was slightly taller than Fang Ruoxi, about the same height as Zhou Wen. To boys, a girl of this height was very oppressive, especially An Jing. She seemed to have an aura that prevented strangers from approaching her. Boys with slightly weaker willpower probably didn't dare look her in the eye.
An Jing walked straight in front of Zhou Wen and without waiting for him to say a word, she threw a USB drive at him.
"What's this?" Zhou Wen caught the USB drive and asked An Jing in puzzlement.
"Uncle Feng got me to give it to you," An Jing said as she glanced at the phone in Zhou Wen's hand. As An Jing spoke, she glanced at the phone in Zhou Wen's hand and said in a mocking tone, "However, I think Uncle Feng's efforts have been in vain. It's useless to give a degenerate person anything good. It's just a waste."
Without waiting for Zhou Wen to say a word, An Jing turned around and left. After taking a few steps, she stopped and said without turning her head, "In the future, don't tell others that you are a member of our An family. Our An family doesn't have such weak and useless people."
With that said, An Jing left without looking back. After leaving the security zone, she boarded a vehicle with a military license plate and left.
Zhou Wen watched the military vehicle leave in a daze before shaking his head and muttering to himself, "I'm not a member of your An family to begin with, nor do I have any plans to bask in your An family's glory. Aren't you overthinking things?"
After casually placing the USB drive into his pocket, Zhou Wen continued grinding the Ancient Imperial City dungeon, constantly hunting Skeleton Soldiers.
Even if nothing good dropped, it was good to familiarize himself with Ancient Imperial City's environment.
