Han Wu traded 40 Bone Demon Fruit cards for a variety of other materials. By integrating these materials, he submitted two more tasks and earned 60 assessment points. Currently, he had a total of 80 assessment points, ranking 18th among over 400 students in his grade, temporarily leading the pack.
However, Han Wu knew his advantage wouldn't last long. The main reason was that his followers were too weak; today's three demonized locusts couldn't stir up any trouble. Trying to clear out the nearby Flesh and Blood Golem nests with just his Skeleton Lord incarnation was nothing short of a pipe dream. With 8,000 to 10,000 Flesh and Blood Golems, even if they stood still and let Han Wu kill them, he'd be exhausted.
"If only I could release all the followers from the Divine Realm," Han Wu sighed. The three demonized locusts feasted on the corpses, and after filling their bellies, they began to lay eggs. A single demonized locust could produce hundreds of eggs, but due to the erosion of demonic energy, the survival rate of the eggs was only about 1%.
Relying on this reproduction rate to build a demonized locust army was also a problem. Just as Han Wu was fretting, a squad of skeleton soldiers appeared nearby. Bone Demon Fruits were crucial materials for skeleton soldiers to enhance their strength, and they had come to harvest them. Upon arrival, they found the trees had already been stripped bare of the fruits.
The soul flames in the skulls of the skeleton soldiers flickered, seemingly enraged. If they returned empty-handed, the Skeleton Knight would surely smash their skulls and extract their soul flames as punishment. Just as the skeleton soldiers were panicking, Han Wu emerged from the forest.
Seeing Han Wu's Skeleton Lord incarnation, the skeleton soldiers were so frightened that their bones trembled. The reverence emanating from their soul flames was visible to the naked eye. All the skeleton soldiers prostrated themselves, performing a grand gesture of submission to Han Wu. This was a suppression of racial hierarchy, a reverence from the soul.
Sensing the skeleton soldiers' awe, information about them suddenly appeared before Han Wu's eyes.
Follower Name: Skeleton Soldier
Follower Race: Skeleton Race
Follower Level: Ordinary Undead
Follower Talent: Hard Bones
Faith Level: True Believer
Faith Power: 500/day
Han Wu was shocked, exclaiming inwardly, "Damn, this is possible too!" Out of nowhere, he had gained over a dozen skeleton soldier true believers. Clearly, these skeleton soldiers mistook Han Wu for a genuine Skeleton Lord. Since Han Wu was lacking followers, he decided to go along with it and accept this group of skeleton soldiers.
Seeing Han Wu accept their submission, the soul flames of the skeleton soldiers flickered excitedly. Han Wu expressed his desire to visit the skeleton soldiers' camp. The skeleton soldiers led the way. After walking for about an hour, they arrived at a valley. In the valley, thousands of skeleton soldiers used it as a base, guarding the area.
Han Wu's presence had a soul-stirring effect on these skeleton soldiers. He didn't even need to make a declaration to easily gain their faith. The Skeleton Knight, upon seeing Han Wu's Skeleton Lord incarnation, was puzzled by his small stature but still chose to submit. After all, the soul's intimidation was undeniable.
Han Wu was overjoyed. The Skeleton Knight was a Transcendent lifeform, with combat power far beyond that of skeleton soldiers. Without losing a single soldier, he had gained the faith of a skeleton soldier squad. Han Wu felt once again that choosing to descend as a Skeleton Lord incarnation was the best decision he made for this assessment.

After the Skeleton Knight submitted, its information also became clear to Han Wu.
Follower Name: Skeleton Knight
Follower Race: Skeleton Race
Follower Level: Transcendent Undead
Follower Talent: Iron Bones, Skeleton Summoning
Faith Level: True Believer
Faith Power: 50,000/day
The Skeleton Knight acknowledged Han Wu as its master and began to explain the current situation of the squad. It was a silent exchange of souls, yet Han Wu could understand it clearly. This Skeleton Knight had a tough time; it was once part of a skeleton legion, led by a hero lifeform Bone Manipulator. During a confrontation with the Flesh and Blood Golems, its squad got separated from the main force and had no choice but to camp here.
However, staying here wasn't safe either. They had to fend off invasions from corpses, zombies, and Flesh and Blood Golems daily, causing the number of skeleton soldiers to dwindle. That's why the Skeleton Knight sent them to find Bone Demon Fruits to enhance their strength. Otherwise, they wouldn't last a few days.
After hearing this, Han Wu fell into deep thought. Now that this skeleton squad had submitted to him, he had an obligation to make them stronger. Han Wu quickly devised a plan.
A day passed, and Han Wu's assessment points remained at 80, dropping his rank from 18th to 179th. Many classmates in the group chat lamented that Han Wu's era was over. Han Wu, however, was indifferent, completely ignoring them. He hadn't even started yet.
When the clock struck midnight, Han Wu gained the opportunity to summon followers from the Divine Realm again. He communicated with the Divine Realm, summoning another 100 locusts and bringing out a large amount of equipment and bone crystals.
The pure bone energy emanating from the bone crystals fascinated the Skeleton Knight, causing its soul flame to leap wildly. Han Wu distributed the bone crystals, giving one to the Skeleton Knight and one to be shared among the other skeleton soldiers. After absorbing the energy from the bone crystals, the Skeleton Knight's bones became more substantial, and its aura surged significantly, though it was still far from reaching the level of a hero lifeform.
However, among the skeleton soldiers, dozens evolved into elite lifeform Iron Bone Skeletons after absorbing the bone crystals. Han Wu then distributed the equipment, significantly boosting the combat power of the armed skeleton army.
Finally, it was time for Han Wu to reap the rewards. He issued an order, commanding the skeleton squad to advance towards the Flesh and Blood Golem nests!
