As the master of enslaved Skeletons, Su Mu could not only control them completely but also view their attribute templates at any time.
The above was the stat panel of the Skeleton Warrior.
The attribute gap brought by a nine-level and one-tier difference had been nearly erased thanks to the Erosion Talent. Even so, the power of the Skeleton Warrior could not be denied.
Without Su Mu's direction and participation, the battle just now would've had a completely different outcome. That single Skeleton Warrior alone could've wiped out all thirty of his Skeleton Soldiers, using them to gain Experience Points. What's more, the Skeleton Warrior already had more than ten Skeleton Soldiers under its command.
The addition of the Skeleton Warrior doubled Su Mu's combat strength.
After a brief rest and helping his minions repair their broken bodies, Su Mu set off again, leading more than twenty underlings deeper into the Bone Burial Ground.
He and the Skeleton Warrior combined equaled the strength of two Advanced Skeletons.
With the support of the Skeleton Soldier subordinates…
This strength was enough to venture even deeper into the Bone Burial Ground and hunt Advanced Skeletons!
…
With experience gained from the first time, Su Mu's expansion was far more efficient this time.
Initially, upon encountering a Skeleton Warrior, Su Mu and his own Skeleton Warrior would team up to injure it, then enslave it, turning it into part of his growing force.
Once he had multiple Skeleton Warriors, Su Mu no longer needed to act himself.
As Advanced Skeletons, Skeleton Warriors might lack full intelligence, but they had developed a sense of self. Their actions followed certain patterns.
According to Su Mu's observations, most Advanced Skeletons occupied deeper territories and fought amongst themselves.
Only when gravely injured or when they lost their Skeleton Soldiers would they leave their zones and venture toward lower-level areas to replenish their forces.
Once Su Mu understood these patterns, his army grew like a rolling snowball!
On the first day, Su Mu found five Skeleton Warriors.
At the cost of seven Skeleton Soldiers, he enslaved all five and made them his underlings.
On the second day, He found three Skeleton Warriors and one Skeleton Archer.
Four Skeleton Soldiers were lost, but he successfully enslaved them and obtained his second Advanced Class Template—Skeleton Archer.
On the third day, He found eight Skeleton Warriors.
Ten more Skeleton Soldiers perished, but he successfully enslaved all eight, further increasing his Advanced Skeleton army.
Fourth day…
Fifth day…
Sixth day…
For seven whole days, When Su Mu finally came to his senses amidst the endless battles, all of his Skeleton Soldiers had died, but he now commanded over forty Advanced Skeletons!
Among them were thirty-nine Skeleton Warriors, four Skeleton Archers, one Skeleton Assassin, and two Skeleton Guards.
And now…
A Skeleton Swordsman's skull lay at his feet!
The Skeleton Swordsman was the Advanced Class Su Mu had chosen for himself.
Why?
Because its Class Template came with the most powerful direct combat skill, and it suited him perfectly.
He crouched down.
His gray-white skeletal hand rested atop the skull.
Su Mu activated his Erosion Talent.
After a full minute, a series of notifications appeared on his status panel.
"You have obtained control of the Skeleton Swordsman."
"You have enslaved this Skeleton Swordsman."
"You may rename this Skeleton Swordsman."
"You have acquired the 'Advanced Class Template – Skeleton Swordsman'."
"At last…"
"It's mine."
His jawbone parted slightly, as if smiling. Su Mu began to examine the newly acquired Class Template.
[Template]: Skeleton Swordsman
[Tier]: Advanced Class Template
[Bonuses]: HP +300, Strength *5, Agility *3, Constitution *5, Spirit *0.1
[Skill]: Rift Slash
"Rift Slash: Active Skill. Consumes one-third of your stamina to unleash a blade of energy 120 units long in front of you, dealing physical damage equal to Strength *2 + Agility *1 to all enemies within range."
This was the Advanced Class Su Mu desired.
Setting aside the superior HP and stat bonuses compared to Skeleton Warrior, what truly drew him in…
was the skill Rift Slash.
Undeniably, this was a finisher move.
Combined with his exclusive weapon Bone Falling Moon Blade, and his past life experience as a legendary sword saint, this skill's true power far exceeded the panel's simple damage description!
Also worth noting, just as magic classes used mana to cast skills, physical classes used stamina.
However, this stamina wasn't just regular endurance—it functioned more like battle energy.
For example, after casting Rift Slash three times, he wouldn't drop dead from exhaustion.
Instead, he would enter a cooldown state that wouldn't affect normal attacks.
During this time, stamina would recover gradually based on Constitution, and once sufficiently restored, the skill could be used again.
For magic classes, their combat relied on casting spells.
For physical classes, their main combat method was normal attacks.
Every skill… was essentially a finishing move!
"You have acquired the 'Advanced Class Template – Skeleton Swordsman'."
"Transfer requirements met."
"Do you wish to transfer to 'Skeleton Swordsman'?"
Bit by bit, Su Mu read through the Skeleton Swordsman's Class Template.
Once he fully processed the information, the system prompt appeared right on cue in his mind.
His jawbone parted slightly, as though in a grin.
Without hesitation, Su Mu chose to transfer classes.
