Needless to say, Fang Zhou had currently transformed into a Golden Tier Undead Mage, possessing the unique ability to harness the Power of Death. Nearly endless Skeleton Warriors and Zombies were continuously summoned to the battlefield, providing additional forces for his army. Although these low-tier Undead Creatures had limited Combat Ability, they played a crucial role in delaying enemies and filling gaps in the battle line.

In reality, a Golden Tier Undead Mage could use very few powerful Skills. However, on this virtual battlefield, Fang Zhou had already achieved a preliminary mastery of some envisioned blueprint spells. He cast various Curses on the Abyssal Demons that swarmed the mountains and plains, such as the Weakness Curse and the Disease Curse. These constantly reduced the enemy's Combat Ability and morale, weakening their Attack Power and Defense Power, allowing his War Chess pieces to gradually gain the advantage in battle.

Some high-tier Undead Creatures, such as the Desolate Tomb Guard, Vampires, and Stone Golems, were also summoned by Fang Zhou in the gaps between casting spells. Though few in number, these powerful Undead Creatures possessed unique Skills and strong Combat Ability, capable of turning the tide of battle at critical moments. Especially under the layers of Beneficial Magic cast by Fang Zhou, the Combat Ability of his Undead Creatures was substantially enhanced.

After a bloody battle, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear. The assaults of the Abyssal Demons were dismantled one by one.

When the Golden Tier Frenzy Demon Commander could no longer tolerate the situation and attempted a decapitation strike, Fang Zhou decisively unleashed the ultimate Undead Magic: [Undead Calamity]. A storm of Undead Creatures swept across the battlefield, inflicting devastating damage on the Abyssal Demons within a wide range. The Frenzy Demon Commander, already a spent force, was also annihilated by the [Undead Calamity].

The system's evaluation was transmitted from the virtual battlefield.

"Fang Zhou, Senior Sergeant, congratulations on winning the first battle in [Demon Extermination Total War].

[Battlefield Scale]: Medium. [Combat Strength Comparison]: Evenly matched.

Based on the comparison of both sides' strength and casualties, your [Battle Evaluation] is: Exhilarating Victory!"

Fang Zhou clicked to check the battle details and found that the statistics were quite comprehensive. They included, but were not limited to, kill count, damage dealt, and damage taken.

The words "Exhilarating Victory" brought a jolt of delight to Fang Zhou. According to the explanation in the [Demon Extermination Total War] system, battle evaluations ranged from worst to best: Total Defeat, Tragic Failure, Slight Disadvantage, Narrow Bloody Defeat, Evenly Matched, Narrow Bloody Victory, Slight Upper Hand, Exhilarating Victory, and Epic Victory.

Total Defeat, Tragic Failure, Slight Disadvantage, and Narrow Bloody Defeat were, naturally, evaluations for the losing side. The lower the evaluation, the more War Chess Points were deducted for the loss. Fang Zhou would never allow himself to receive such shameful evaluations.

Meanwhile, evaluations like Evenly Matched, Narrow Bloody Victory, Slight Upper Hand, Exhilarating Victory, and Epic Victory were for those who tied or won. The higher the evaluation, the more War Chess Points were gained from a victory.

Receiving an "Exhilarating Victory" evaluation on his first beginner test proved that Fang Zhou had perfectly passed the beginner assessment for [Demon Extermination Total War]. Moreover, he could feel that the effect of his [Undead Chessmaster] title had also improved ever so slightly. The various high-tier Undead Magic spells he had used during the War Chess skirmish left a faint trace in the depths of his soul.

These traces were like seeds buried deep in the soil. When Fang Zhou advanced to the corresponding Tier, they would sprout, blossom, and bear abundant fruit.

Before Fang Zhou's mind could fully recover from the joy of victory, a synthetic electronic voice sounded quietly in his ear.

"Esteemed Senior Sergeant Fang Zhou, congratulations on successfully passing the beginner test. Your initial rank has been set to One Star.

Based on your rank, you will receive a daily reward of 1 Contribution Point.

Winning a battle will earn you a certain number of War Chess Points, while losing a battle will deduct a certain number.

You can receive additional point bonuses based on your battle evaluation.

Accumulating a sufficient number of War Chess Points will raise your War Chess rank.

Each time your War Chess rank increases, you will receive a corresponding Contribution Point reward.

War Chess Points can also be used in the [Demon Extermination Total War] store to exchange for rare terrains, special War Chess pieces, and various resources that are usable in reality.

Further features are under development. Please read the rules carefully for detailed information. May you be victorious in every battle."

Fang Zhou quickly browsed the feedback from the [Demon Extermination Total War] system, a pleasant surprise blooming in his heart. He hadn't expected this War Chess rank to provide him with a continuous stream of Contribution Point rewards. Not only that, but War Chess Points could also be used to exchange for resources. Compared to the other students who were unable to participate in the [Demon Extermination Total War] internal test, he truly had a head start.

It seems a daily game of chess will be indispensable from now on.

After reviewing the battle recording, Fang Zhou made a few notes and, satisfied, closed the internal test link for [Demon Extermination Total War]. He stood up, stretched his somewhat stiff and tense body, and headed to the Skill Training Ground without pause. The night was long, and his Cultivation had only just begun.

「In a familiar corner of the Skill Training Ground.」

Fang Zhou exhausted the last of his Spiritual Power, once again successfully casting the [Soul Realm] skill. Since binding the [Night Watcher I] World Rune, each time Fang Zhou cast [Soul Realm], it became smoother and more precise than the last.
