Lu Hu nodded almost imperceptibly, then entered a long string of commands on his personal terminal. At his command, over a hundred automated iron cages containing Abyssal Little Inferior Demons slid out from the sealed stone walls of the training ground, arranging themselves neatly behind Lu Hu and the Seed Students.

Hearing the faint demonic curses emanating from the iron cages, the corner of Lu Hu's mouth curled into a bloodthirsty smile. He said, "As elite Seed Students of the Sea City Military Academy, you've spent nearly three months here, so you should be familiar with our training model. Today, we will begin specialized combat training against Abyssal Little Inferior Demons. You will be randomly assigned to three-person combat teams to face living Abyssal Little Inferior Demons. Do not underestimate them!

"These Little Inferior Demons are a pure Chaotic Evil species from the Abyss. Although their power has been limited and restrained, they possess innate cunning and combat instincts. They are nothing like the illusory Little Inferior Demons you've faced on the Simulation Battlefield, nor are they like the weak, low-level demons raised in Cave No. 1. Learning how to eliminate them quickly and efficiently will be the most challenging and practical part of today's lesson."

Standing on the training ground, Instructor Lu Hu surveyed the 100 Seed Students before him, feeling a surge of emotion. The Human Alliance's methods for training young Professionals have become so much more advanced and diverse. Thanks to the vast improvement in the strategic situation, elite students like Fang Zhou, Meng Hongzhuang, Ye Fan, and Bai Xiaochan enjoy far more resources and technology than he did in his youth. This is directly reflected in their growth speed, which far surpasses that of new recruits from the same stage decades ago. This is truly a great blessing for the Human Alliance.

This was also why the Sea City Military Academy spared no expense to acquire a large number of captured Little Inferior Demons from the front-line legions for the Seed Students' combat training. These low-level demons from the Abyss, though small, were crafty and fierce, making them excellent opponents for live combat. More importantly, using the academy's unique magic technology, their power was precisely controlled at the lowest point of the Lower Apprentice rank. This ensured the training was both safe and intense.

"Fang Zhou, you're up first. Set an example for everyone!"

At Instructor Lu Hu's deep, powerful command, Fang Zhou stepped forward.

CLANG!

Three automated iron cages swung open, releasing three tightly bound Abyssal Little Inferior Demons.

Fang Zhou stepped into the center of the training ground, facing the three bound Little Inferior Demons. He focused his mind, his hands quickly forming complex Dharma Seals. A surge of Death Energy from the depths of his soul converged in his hands, gradually forming three Skeleton Flying Spears that radiated a dark luster. They were cold and sharp, exuding an aura of death.

Sensing a mortal threat, the three Little Inferior Demons shrieked piercingly. They flapped their bat-like wings, attempting to counterattack with their sharp claws and fangs, but Fang Zhou was faster.

The moment their bindings weakened, the Little Inferior Demons prepared to lash out. But just then, Fang Zhou's eyes snapped open. Three Skeleton Flying Spears shot forth like black lightning, slicing through the air and precisely penetrating the bodies of the demons as they tried to dodge, striking their vitals in a fatal attack!

Chilling screams pierced the air for a moment before stopping abruptly. The bodies of the three Little Inferior Demons stiffened in midair, unhealable black holes left in their heads. They collapsed powerlessly to the ground, lifeless.

Fang Zhou's strike not only pierced the skulls of the Little Inferior Demons, but also the last shred of hesitation in the hearts of the Seed Students watching.

So that's all a Little Inferior Demon is. Nothing special.

At Lu Hu's signal, the remaining 99 students formed 33 teams and began their own battles against an equal number of Little Inferior Demons across the vast training ground.

Even Bai Xiaochan, a Support Professional with weak direct combat abilities, was randomly paired with two female Warriors. The team of two Warriors and one Support Professional put up an impressive fight against the three power-suppressed Little Inferior Demons.

After glancing at the heated battles raging across the underground training field, Fang Zhou, who had instantly dispatched his opponents, found himself with nothing to do. He decided to walk over to Instructor Lu Hu, who was resting on the sidelines.

"Fang Zhou, what is it?" Lu Hu asked with a broad smile.

Fang Zhou saluted Instructor Lu Hu and said, "Instructor Lu, I'd like to ask you about the Universal Skills for Combat Professionals."

Lu Hu was slightly taken aback. "Universal Skills for Combat Professionals?" he asked, surprised. "Aren't you an Undead Mage who uses Spiritual Power? You can't learn the skills of a Combat Professional, which require physical strength to use. Why are you asking about this?"

Fang Zhou explained with a smile, "For one, I expect we'll have many opportunities for team combat in the future, so I want to understand Combat Professionals better.

"My work on deducing new Undead Mage Skills requires me to absorb the essence of various skills that use Spiritual Power, like those of Magic and Support Professionals. As a result, I already have a basic understanding of them.

"However, aside from sparring a few times with the Demon Hunter, Ye Fan, in our project group, I know almost nothing about the combat systems of Combat Professionals. This is a major weakness for me, whether I'm cooperating with human Combat Professionals or fighting against Abyssal Demons of the Combat Professional type. I need to address it."
