Chapter 685 - Skeleton Advancement (1/2)
Under the moonlight, the white frame of the skeleton had turned half red from the blood. Especially the lower half, which most of it was red, clacked its jaws, asking for more prey to kill. It looked creepy for sure, as the remaining six people were whimpering in fear. Even though the skeleton was weaker than them, they could not move now. If the Skeleton happened to target them, then they would die tragically, just like their friend.
”Wait, just sit there for now!” Tang Shaoyang ordered the Skeleton as he pointed at the bloody boulder. The man's blood gave red color on the boulder, and the Skeleton followed his order by sitting there, like a good kid waiting for candy.
Tang Shaoyang ignored the six people begging for their lives as he opened the notification he had just received. After killing the man, he heard consecutive notifications from the system, telling him that the Skeleton had leveled up. He opened the Skeleton's status window and found something interesting with Skeleton.

[Your {Skeleton} has met the condition for the advancement!]
[Do you want to proceed {Skeleton} advancement? {Yes} {No}]
Tang Shaoyang tapped yes. This was what made him interested in the Skeleton project. Just like the other players, the Skeleton could get stronger by advancing, and maybe he could create skeleton armies this time. On top of that, the Skeleton had a higher stat compared to a normal human as well. He was eager to explore more things about the Skeleton.
[Please choose your Skeleton's advancement: (Evolution) (Class)]
”I see. It's no different than the beast's advancement.” He concluded after seeing the option of advancement. The beast could evolve into the beastmen and get a class. The only difference was that the Skeleton had access to the class from the start. ”Any idea which one shall I choose first? Is it better to get the class first or let the Skeleton evolve first?”
Tang Shaoyang asked his spirits for their opinions, but none of them could give him a definite answer.
—We are not sure. First, there are a lot of us who are not familiar with the system. Second, even though the other spirits have experienced the system, this is their first time encountering something like this. There's nothing we can do but do some experiments.
That was Zaneos' answer. Just like he said, not all the spirits had gone through the Game like him. Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and looked at the remaining six people. ”We have the right amount of soul for another summoning here. I can kill five of them to get five souls and summon a new Skeleton.”
After doing a quick calculation, Tang Shaoyang tapped the (Evolution) option. He wanted to try evolution first before trying class advancement.
[Please choose the advancement for your Skeleton: (Elite Skeleton) (Steel Skeleton) (Earth Skeleton)]
Tang Shaoyang was not expecting another surprise from the system. He did not think that he got to choose the advancement. He thought the system randomized the evolution, or the Skeleton had a fixed evolution. ”Hmmmnn. The last two options are self-explanatory. Those bones may turn into steel or earth if I choose one of them, but what about the Elite Skeleton?”
Tang Shaoyang looked at the cracked finger bones on the Skeleton. The bone cracked after it tried to kill the man by punching it. ”The safe choice is Steel Skeleton, but I am curious what the other two will offer to me.”
”Let's go for Steel Skeleton instead. I can try the other two when I summon another skeleton.” After some time, he chose Steel Skeleton. Right after that, the Skeleton who was sitting on top of the boulder was shrouded in bright light. The Evolution did not last that long as the light dimmed in the next ten seconds and showed the Steel Skeleton.
