My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 56 - 54: Damage Transfer

This was indeed Lu Xun’s oversight.

Wuer didn’t mention it either, and he assumed that since the Undead Race dared to sunbathe, the Evil Spirits should be able to as well.

He glanced at the hundred generals huddled under the tree shade, trembling, and couldn’t help but be a bit speechless.

It turns out Evil Spirits aren’t invincible; they fear sunlight, or more precisely, they fear ultraviolet rays which can restrain "Yin Objects".

However, according to Lu Xun’s observations, the evening sunlight doesn’t seem to kill them.

It only causes their soul bodies to feel a burning pain, significantly weakening their strength.

Of course, if the ultraviolet rays were strong enough, they could definitely instantly kill an Evil Spirit.

They have the combat advantage of "Void", but their weaknesses are just as obvious.

Lu Xun walked to the shade of the tree, scanning the hundred Evil Spirits, and quickly locked onto a Great Evil Spirit with its soul body in azure blue.

It had a humanoid shape, but with bat wings on its back, two curved horns on its head, a tail resembling a cow’s on its rear, a ferocious face, and sharp fangs and claws that were terrifying.

This guy has a lot of spirit!

It was this very one that let out a roar when it sensed things were amiss, leading its brothers to charge into the shade to avoid the sunlight.

A perfect candidate for a minion!

"You, step forward," Lu Xun commanded in a low voice.

The Great Evil Spirit, seeing its master’s finger pointing at it, had no hesitation and immediately stepped forward, kneeling on one knee before its master, head bowed respectfully.

Not to mention its combat power, just its reaction speed and discipline could outshine Gousheng by a mile!!

"I grant you the rank of Corporal, from this day forth, you will be responsible for leading this king’s Evil Spirit Army!"

Lu Xun’s skeletal face was expressionless, his voice stern, solemn, and serious as he said, "Remember the name bestowed upon you by this king - Tiezhu!!"

"Aooooh!!!"

It roared in thanks for the name given by Lord Bone King!

It was obvious that Tiezhu was very excited, promoted on its first day at work!

It turned around, raising its arm towards the remaining 99 variously sized Evil Spirits under the tree shade.

Roar!!

Many responded in unison.

Clearly, everyone acknowledged Brother Tiezhu’s leadership.

The Summoning Magic "Night Parade of Hundred Demons" has a summoning limit of 100.

Once summoned successfully, they form a "link" with the Mage.

If summoned again, the same group appears.

Unless an Evil Spirit perishes, then a new recruit will automatically fill in.

The Skeleton Warrior Summoning Techniques work the same way.

No wonder it’s always Gousheng showing up with each summon.

Lu Xun learned this only after specifically asking Wuer in the morning.

Furthermore, Wuer told him that both "Skeleton Warrior Summoning Techniques" and "Night Parade of Hundred Demons" are not single spells, but rather a "series".

They are merely the base spells of their respective series, with advanced, enhanced, and ultimate versions following them.

To grow stronger, a Necromancer must upgrade around their summoned creatures.

Summoned creatures evolve and improve, with each generation surpassing the last!

’Evil Spirits are in a half-transparent Soul Spirit Form, and ordinary people can’t even see them; can they be analyzed?’ Lu Xun wondered as he looked up and down at it.

He decided to try and see.

"Corporal Tiezhu, attention!" he commanded in a low, authoritative voice.

Tiezhu was inspecting its troops; upon hearing its master’s order, it immediately turned, lifted its head and chest, and stood straight.

Though it didn’t know what Lord Bone King intended, the command was law.

Lu Xun extended his skeletal hand towards Corporal Tiezhu, probing as it passed right through, touching nothing.

’Analyze!!’

[Analyzing, 1%...5%...10%...100%!]

[Analysis complete!]

[Trait Points +920;]

[Recorded: Non-Biological Illustrated Guide x1;]

[Illustrated Guide: Evil Spirit - High]

[Illustrated Guide completeness: 100%, Talent: Soul Strike. Material composition ratio... Soul body duration... Current state...]

[No genetic material detected.]

...

"Hmm, as expected, although Evil Spirits have thoughts and self-awareness, they don’t belong to life forms, not even having genes, let alone projections," pondered Lu Xun with a thoughtful expression.

Although Wuer is of the Undead Race, it’s not a pure spirit. That day in the bathhouse, Lu Xun shook hands with Wuer and could touch its body... with a soft feel.

"I seem to have overlooked something... Wait a minute! 920 Trait Points?!"

Lu Xun suddenly realized, eyes widening, "What the hell," he exclaimed.

Trait Points, equivalent to analyzing over a hundred new high-level civilian prosthetic bodies, or analyzing more than 30,000 books.

A truly unexpected reward!

"Evil Spirit Army, all listen! Form ranks!"

Lu Xun shouted loudly, "Prepare for inspection!!"

Roar!!

Corporal Tiezhu’s bat wings unfurled as it roared fiercely at the lesser spirits.

The group of Evil Spirits sprang into action immediately, standing neatly under the tree shade.

Though all belong to the "Evil Spirit" Illustrated Guide, their strengths vary.

Analyzing different levels of the same type will generate different guides.

Lu Xun soon gathered low, inferior, middle, and high-level versions of the Evil Spirit guides.

A single wave of analysis garnered 1750 Trait Points in total.

A great harvest!

Who would have thought that becoming a Necromancer would have such benefits!

Lu Xun couldn’t help but dream of the future.

Once the Bone King Form becomes stronger, he can attempt to summon a "Bone Dragon!"

Directly analyze and project the Dragon Race.

To this day, the Dragon Race remains the world’s most universally recognized, historically strong life form!

Dragons are the most powerful race with innate advantages discovered so far, without exception.

"After high school graduation, I’ll have learned over 400 spells from Da Gu."

"The Bone King Form is promising for the future! It won’t be weaker than the Ghost God Form."

"...If I ever get the chance to earn 60,000 Trait Points, I’ll merge them, should be really strong...right?"

Lu Xun chuckled, withdrew his thoughts, waved to his warriors, and disbanded the Evil Spirit Army.

He then exited the Bone King Form.

His skeleton’s surface swiftly grew flesh and skin, returning to Normal Form.

He tried casting "Night Parade of Hundred Demons" again in Normal Form but could barely summon two evil spirits.

This is the limit of a Level 2 Strong Soul, with significantly reduced power.

After continued exploration for a while, he left the graveyard.

Headed back to school for evening self-study... and to supervise Da Gu’s work!

...

Back at school.

Wuer had surprisingly finished writing a new Undead Magic!

Moreover, it was a high-level magic similar to "Night Parade of Hundred Demons!!"

"Damn it, Da Gu, you’re truly my brother!"

Lu Xun excitedly hugged its skeletal head, shaking it from side to side. If it didn’t struggle fiercely, he would have kissed its skull.

"Brother Lu, don’t be like this!" Wuer’s soul fire shivered in its eye sockets, its childish voice trembling.

It felt like Brother Lu was getting stranger!

Brother Lu didn’t even have Soul Sense, even with high-level magic, he couldn’t use it, there’s no reason to be so excited.

So what made Brother Lu so excited might not be the magic...

Hiss!!

The more Wuer thought, the more scared it got.

It’s only 12 years old, increasingly unable to understand this strange world.

It lifted its pelvis, shifted slightly outside the desk, distancing a bit from its deskmate.

Lu Xun didn’t care what it thought.

He pretended to casually browse, but quickly completed the Magic Notebook analysis.

A lot of magic knowledge surged into his mind.

’Oh my! What is this?’

Lu Xun immediately widened his eyes, showing a look of disbelief.

Truly shocked by Da Gu’s new magic!

This undead magic was called "Soul Link."

It’s a support-type spell!

Casters can link their souls to summoned creatures, transferring the damage they suffer to the summoned creatures!

’This is heaven-defying, damn it! Is this really just high-level magic?’

’It’s a Divine Skill!’

Lu Xun couldn’t understand but was profoundly amazed.

What is the concept of damage transfer? It’s too unscientific.

This means, if you want to kill a Necromancer, you must first kill all their summoned creatures, otherwise, they’re invincible, undying!

And this Divine Skill offers even greater potential for Lu Xun.

He didn’t only possess the Bone King Body "Mage" form.

He also has the Ghost God Form "Berserker" profession.

In Ghost God state, he also has the Strong Soul trait, albeit weaker.

So, before a fight, hide summoned creatures, activate Soul Link, and charge forward himself!

Completely indestructible!

The idea was opened up immediately!

’Wait, this magic has limitations.’

However, Lu Xun then shook his head, calming down, realizing many flaws and issues within it.

Soul Link allows a summoned creature to bear damage for oneself, that’s true.

But, to complete damage transfer, there’s a stringent prerequisite:

The damage must be effective for both caster and summoned creature. Take this example, evil spirits can’t help Lu Xun withstand conventional kinetic weapon attacks.

And two additional limitations:

1. The summoned creature has a limit on the damage it can bear. How much it can withstand depends on its own strength. Damage exceeding this limit can’t transfer, the caster still bears it.

2. Only one summoned creature can be linked at a time; only after it’s gone can you link the next one.

3. Link distance is limited, based on casters’ soul strength.

Nonetheless, this undead magic remains very "unscientific."

Lu Xun didn’t initially have much urgency in merging the "Ghost God" and "Bone King" forms.

But now, he realized that perhaps the stronger the "Repulsive Force", the harder the forms to integrate, the more powerful the combat power post-integration.

Mages are fragile.

He couldn’t imagine an invincible "Muscle Bully" with an unstoppable undead legion behind it...how fierce would that be?

Though it requires 60,000 Trait Points, perhaps it’s expensive for a reason!

In the future, if there’s an opportunity, he definitely has to arrange it!!

Phew~

Lu Xun worked hard to calm his restless feelings, restraining his anticipation for the future.

"Well done, Da Gu." He returned the Magic Notebook to Wuer and encouraged, "Keep going, keep writing! Don’t worry about homework, I’ll clear every obstacle for you!"

"Mm, okay!" Wuer took the notebook, nodded, and continued burying its head in writing. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

...

Originally thought tonight’s evening self-study would pass by simply.

But during the last class, homeroom teacher Zhang Lei’s sudden notice made Lu Xun realize maybe tonight wouldn’t be simple...

"Lu, there are two officers looking for you outside."

Zhang Lei glanced towards Lu Xun at the back-row window seat, saying:

"Don’t worry, it’s nothing major."

"They said you witnessed a fire incident, and want to ask you some questions, they’ll leave after a few questions."
