Instructor Su Xinyan nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Not bad. For a beginner, you've barely reached a passable level."

Hearing this, Fang Zhou's expression instantly relaxed. He knew that with Instructor Su Xinyan's nitpicking nature, her failure to point out any faults meant his performance was impeccable.

Seeing Fang Zhou's calm expression, Su Xinyan quietly ground her teeth. She waved her hand, and the floating anatomical projection in the air vanished.

Turning around, Su Xinyan's gaze fell upon the mess on the lab table, her fine eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"You've passed this round," she said imperiously. "But next, you have to clean up this filth."

Then, she changed the subject. "Also, in the next few days, don't forget to examine the experimental records on bone regeneration from the Association of Light Attribute Professionals. Although they ultimately failed to achieve their goal, their experiences and failures are definitely worth studying."

Fang Zhou obediently nodded. He snapped his fingers, and two Skeletons appeared in response. Although their cleaning movements were stiff, they were exceptionally efficient under Fang Zhou's command.

Watching this scene, Instructor Su Xinyan gave a slight turn and walked toward her lounge.

When the last trace of blood in the lab was wiped clean, Fang Zhou walked to the sofa in the corner, raised his wrist, and the screen of his personal terminal lit up.

War Chess, launch!

Fang Zhou operated the terminal skillfully, quickly entering the matchmaking interface for [Demon Extermination Total War]. This time, his opponent was a Two-Star expert from Dragon City Military Academy. They were about to engage in a duel where both their civilization and unit types would be randomly assigned. This meant that neither side could anticipate the army they would be leading.

As the "Match Found" notification appeared, the chessboard slowly unfolded. Fang Zhou held his breath, waiting for the system's random choice.

When the Abyssal Demon series of War Chess pieces appeared on the screen, his heart involuntarily sank. This was a field he was least familiar with, completely different from his expertise in the Longxia Federation series.

Meanwhile, his opponent, the student from Dragon City Military Academy, had drawn the High-level Elf civilization series from the Mythical World, renowned for its elite long-range archers. They were a legendary force, unparalleled in long-range strikes and precise shooting.

This was going to be a tough battle.

However, the [Undead Chessmaster] title granted him an additional enhancement to his strategic command ability. Moreover, his status as a Golden Tier Undead Mage provided him with the support of a powerful army of Undead Creatures.

As the game progressed, squads of Undead Creatures emerged from the Void. Fang Zhou commanded the forces of the Abyssal Demons and his Undead Army, deftly countering the High Elves' long-range attacks. Despite the situation becoming deadlocked and even perilous at times, Fang Zhou never gave up.

Finally, after a bloody battle, the dawn of victory began to show. Fang Zhou's Undead Army, with overwhelming force, smashed through the barricades formed by Tree Demons and broke the High Elves' flank.

When the last Elf Chess piece toppled with a crash, signaling the end of the duel, Fang Zhou had once again secured an effortless victory.

"Senior Sergeant Fang Zhou, congratulations on your victory.

[Battle Scale] Medium, [Combat Power Comparison] Evenly Matched.

Based on a comparison of both sides' strength and casualties, the battle evaluation is [Resounding Victory].

Your War Chess rating has been promoted from One-Star to Two-Star. You will now earn 2 contribution points daily and have received a rank-up reward of 100 contribution points."

After days of continuous victories, Fang Zhou's War Chess Points had reached a high level. [Demon Extermination Total War] was still in its intense closed beta phase, and the leaderboard function that Instructor Lu Hu was anticipating had not been released yet. Therefore, Fang Zhou didn't know his exact ranking.

He was pleased, though, that his War Chess rating had advanced from One-Star to Two-Star, providing him with a daily reward of 2 contribution points. Accumulated over a month, that would be at least 60 contribution points. Every little bit helps. Fang Zhou happily accepted it.

After reviewing his battle recordings and summarizing his gains and losses, Fang Zhou clasped his hands behind his back and went to check on Bai Xiaochan and Meng Hongzhuang in their labs. After ensuring they weren't slacking off, he casually offered some words of encouragement, then headed straight back to his dorm.

After a short rest on his bed, Fang Zhou felt revitalized and opened his personal terminal again. On the screen, messages from the trading channel surged like a tide. Fang Zhou's gaze roamed over the lines of text and images. He had a mental list of the resources he coveted. If he came across his desired resources and the seller accepted contribution points at a reasonable price, Fang Zhou would not hesitate to spend a fortune to acquire them.

However, his days of searching had been fruitless. The trading channel displayed a dazzling array of items, but none caught his eye. After all, anyone who could become a top cadet at the military academy was no fool. Contribution points were valuable, to be sure, but on the path of cultivation, resources that could directly boost one's own strength were far more critical.

Today was no exception, and Fang Zhou came up empty-handed once again. He sighed with some regret, preparing to close the trading channel and head to the Skills Practice Room to practice the [Soul Realm] skill.

Just then, his private chat window suddenly blinked. Someone had sent him a private message.
