Fang Zhou issued an order for Olaf to face the Zombie alone. This was not only another validation of Olaf's strength but also a test of the flexibility of the Berserker Mark's application. With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, Fang Zhou watched as Olaf faced the slowly approaching Zombie.

The battle erupted with a low Battle Cry.

Like a bolt of black lightning, Olaf charged at the Zombie with astonishing speed. The Zombie sensed the threat, clumsily raising its arms in an attempt to fend off the impending attack. However, Olaf's Bloodthirsty Frenzy skill was already active.

He leaped high into the air, his double axes drawing two silver arcs as they slammed down heavily on the Zombie's defenses. Though strong, the Zombie's defense began to crack under Olaf's Berserker-powered attacks. Unwilling to show weakness, the Zombie swung its rotten arms in retaliation. Each swing carried a waft of decay, attempting to push Olaf back. However, Olaf deftly utilized his Blood Blade Tornado skill, his body spinning into a massive white whirlwind.

His double axes, like the scythes of the Death God, continuously sliced through the surrounding air and the Zombie's defenses. Each rotation was accompanied by the sound of the Zombie's bones shattering. Green pus oozed from its mangled wounds, indicating the unprecedented damage it was suffering. The Zombie seemed to sense the approach of Death and began to let out a low roar, attempting to awaken its inner potential for a final struggle.

Just then, Olaf unleashed another powerful Bloodthirsty Frenzy. With this decisive strike, his double axes embedded themselves deep into the Zombie's head. Green pus splattered out as the Zombie's massive body finally crashed to the ground.

The encounter concluded in Olaf's absolute victory.

Fang Zhou, who had been observing quietly from the side, now had a more direct understanding of Olaf's prowess. After the battle, he approached the Zombie's remains, contentedly absorbing the Corpse Essence within. As the essence integrated with him, Fang Zhou felt his Power Attribute further enhance. On his attribute panel, the parsing progress of the Zombie's unique Unknown Talent Skills was also slowly increasing. Although the increase was minor, it represented another solid step for Fang Zhou on his path to power.

After clearing the area for a little while longer, it was already getting late. Fang Zhou gathered the Skeleton Squad close, found a safe spot, and logged off. By going all out today, he had accumulated dozens more points of Soul Power. At this rate, by the time his main body was confirmed as a military school seed and obtained E-level authority, his Skeleton Clone would also have amassed a considerable amount of Soul Power. By then, he could frantically exchange for Black Iron-level skills, greatly enhancing the combat power of his Skeleton Clone.

「Open-pit mine, inside the tent.」

Fang Zhou opened his eyes, yawning slightly. It was now early morning. Under the diligent guard of the Skeleton Army, no foolish Night Demons had dared to provoke them. He washed up briefly, lay down on his bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

「Early the next morning, at Sea City Military Academy.」

Many first-year students, too anxious to even eat breakfast, had already gathered in their classrooms. At 8 AM today, the Cave Hunting would officially end, and the list of this year's military school seeds was about to be released. Sea City Military Academy had been established for decades, and every batch of military school seeds were outstanding talents of their generation, earning illustrious military honors for the Longxia Federation and the Human Alliance. Although these students could only watch, being able to witness the birth of new military school seeds was a great privilege.

With some time left until 8 AM, the instructors took the opportunity to play the video of the third exciting battle for the first-year students. Compared to the previous two, this battle video had only one protagonist: Fang Zhou. There was no other choice. Other students, including Meng Hongzhuang and Ye Fan, had found the third day exceedingly difficult, a true struggle for survival. They had basically spent their time either fleeing or hiding, with very few remarkable battle scenes. Thus, Lu Hu, within the Cave Fortress, made an executive decision and simply gave Fang Zhou a solo showcase.

The video detailed the entire process of Fang Zhou provoking the Fierce Ants and Kobolds into fighting each other, while he sat back and reaped the rewards.

Among the thousands of first-year students, most had watched Fang Zhou's live stream. However, a small portion had missed this textbook-perfect battle.

Seeing Fang Zhou in the video using various Demon materials as bait to lure the Fierce Ants toward the Kobold camp, an incredulous student asked, "What are those things he's holding? How come I don't recognize a single one? And what's that drum for? Why is he so skilled with his movements?"

A student who had watched the live stream yesterday quickly provided an answer.

After his initial amazement, the questioning student said with some hesitation, "Fang Zhou is indeed incredible, but he's just a fragile Undead Mage. I really can't imagine how he managed to lure all those Fierce Ants to the Kobold camp down the hill."

The battle video soon gave him his answer. When he saw Fang Zhou striding forward on his long legs, not even flushed or out of breath, moving faster than even Ye Fan—a Demon Hunter from one of the Agile Professions—and effortlessly shaking off the raging tide of ants behind him, the student was left dumbfounded.

"You're telling me that's an Undead Mage?! Even if he's a Middle-Rank Apprentice, the primary stat for an Undead Mage is the Spirit Attribute, not the Agility Attribute!"

Another student sighed and said, "Actually, back when Fang Zhou challenged the Abyss Difficulty Horn Demon Outpost, he was already running faster than a Middle-Rank Apprentice Little Inferior Demon. Even if he had taken an extremely precious Agility Secret Medicine, he shouldn't be that fast. This must be the heaven-defying talent of a genius. It's something we mortals can hardly comprehend!"

Amid the silence, the video continued to play. After instigating a bloody war between the two types of Demons, Fang Zhou used the high mobility granted by his skeletal wings to make an easy escape. Once the Fierce Ants and Kobolds had mutually crippled each other, Fang Zhou, well-rested and waiting, swooped in to wipe out all the remaining Demons, effortlessly securing a bountiful harvest.

Watching his seamless execution, the student who had doubted him was completely convinced. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Fang Zhou... he's terrifyingly powerful!"

The end of the video thoughtfully included a close-up of the dazzling array of loot in the Kobold camp. These students were discerning enough to understand the immense amount of contribution points these spoils could be exchanged for. Filled with envy, they also made a quiet resolution. They had to cultivate diligently, increase their strength, and strive to reach the standard to enter the Cave Hunting as soon as possible. Even if they couldn't compare to a freak of nature like Fang Zhou, obtaining even a tenth of his spoils would be more than enough for them.
