The above were the details of the two elite class templates Lucas had obtained.
He tentatively allocated Free Points to the class templates, and both elite class templates glowed brightly, confirming that his idea was correct—Free Points could indeed be used to enhance class templates!
With 1 Free Point invested, the two class templates merely glowed brighter.
With 2 Free Points invested, the two class templates showed signs of breaking apart.
With 3 Free Points invested, the two class templates completely shattered! The two light clusters representing the class templates began to merge!
However, the merging process was extremely slow!
"Not enough?"
Glancing at his remaining Free Points, Lucas gritted his teeth and invested the last 2 Free Points into the merging of the two class templates!
The glow faded.
The Elite Skeleton Swordsman and Zombie elite class templates had disappeared.
In their place...
A brand-new class template appeared in Lucas's mind.
...
[Template]: Heavy Skeleton Swordsman
[Tier]: Elite Class Template
[Bonuses]: Health +2500, Strength *20, Agility *15, Constitution *30, Spirit *3
[Skill]: To Be Determined
Judging from the data,
Lucas's newly obtained elite class template—Heavy Skeleton Swordsman—was an enhanced and upgraded version of the Elite Skeleton Swordsman and Zombie templates.
This class template combined the strengths of the Elite Skeleton Swordsman and Zombie, further enhancing them.
It had higher health and attribute growth than the Elite Skeleton Swordsman while eliminating the Zombie's greatest weakness—slow speed. It was an all-around powerhouse!
As for the skill...
"Ding!"
"You have obtained the exclusive elite class template—Heavy Skeleton Swordsman."
"You can choose one of the following skills as the default skill for this class template."
Along with the system prompt, several options appeared in his vision.
1. Speed Boost
2. Corrosive Venom
3. Gale Slash
4. Bone Armor
The first two skills were self-explanatory, originating from the Elite Skeleton Swordsman and Zombie class templates. The former was the skill the Elite Skeleton Swordsman used to escape the skeleton army, while the latter was the skill the elite zombies used to corrode Lucas's underlings.

The latter two...
Were skills tailored by the system, or rather, the game's laws, based on the elite class template Lucas had fused!
Gale Slash focused on offense.
Bone Armor focused on defense.
From a skill direction perspective, Bone Armor clearly aligned more with the Heavy Skeleton Swordsman's class theme. Without armor... how could it be called "Heavy"?
However, Lucas's Constitution attribute was his highest.
The new elite class template he obtained also provided the highest bonuses to health and Constitution.
Combined, this gave Lucas health and defensive capabilities at the elite tier that rivaled those of the warrior tier. Only the most tanky warriors could surpass him in this regard!
As a result, Lucas's need for Constitution and defense was greatly reduced.
Moreover, the Heavy Skeleton Swordsman class template was fused using Free Points. Once he advanced to this class, it meant he could no longer advance through conventional means. He would have to hunt warrior-tier monsters to obtain their class templates and fuse them using Free Points to continue advancing!
This required him to have sufficient survivability while also possessing enough offensive power!
In conclusion,
Gale Slash was Lucas's best choice!
"I choose... Gale Slash!"
As Lucas made his choice, the other three skills disappeared. Gale Slash integrated into the class template, becoming the default skill of the Heavy Skeleton Swordsman elite class.
"You have obtained the class advancement information for 'Elite Class Template - Heavy Skeleton Swordsman.'"
"Advancement conditions met."
"Advance to 'Heavy Skeleton Swordsman'?"
When the crisp system prompt sounded again, Lucas didn't hesitate and chose to advance.
The next moment,
A surge of warmth flowed from the void into Lucas's body.
His skeletal frame began to undergo drastic changes!
His bones grew thicker, their color deepening.
His ribs extended, reducing the gaps between his bones, as if they were forming a layer of bone plate armor!
The transformation lasted a full ten minutes.
By the time the advancement was complete, Lucas's height had increased from 1.8 meters to 2 meters! His frame had also become robust and burly, losing its previous slender appearance.
From a distance, Lucas now looked like a heavily armored warrior—even without choosing Bone Armor, his Constitution attribute had caused a layer of hard bone armor to form over his skeleton.
In addition,
The faintly emanating aura and death energy... gave Lucas the presence of a high-tier undead!
"Elite class..."
"The next goal is to hunt warrior-tier skeletons and prepare materials for the warrior-tier advancement..."
Standing tall in the wilderness,
Lucas reached out, and the slightly enlarged Bone Mòdāo appeared in his hand.
Gently swinging the Mòdāo, listening to the "whoosh" of the blade cutting through the air, Lucas murmured to himself.
