Sword light flickered, filling the air with the decaying stench of death.

However, in the face of this powerful offensive, the Iron Wall Skeleton did not show weakness. It stood as steady as a rock, its greatsword wielded like an indestructible shield. Every swing carried an unstoppable force, neutralizing its opponent's attacks one by one.

CLANG!

The two Skeleton Greatswords clashed again, leaving notches on both blades.

Fang Zhou stood to the side, quietly observing the life-and-death struggle. He was waiting for the moment when the Iron Wall Aura would work its wonders. His eagle-like gaze missed no detail.

At first, the two Great Sword Skeletons seemed evenly matched, with neither able to gain the upper hand. The Skeleton Greatswords in their hands developed cracks under the intense assault.

However, as a gray light flickered briefly on the Iron Wall Skeleton's sword, a full-powered strike from the ordinary Skeleton was successfully parried, rendering it completely ineffective. Not only that, but the force of the parry also shattered a large portion of the ordinary Skeleton's blade, rendering it useless.

Worse still, after its all-out attack was blocked, the ordinary Skeleton was left fatally exposed.

Influenced by its combat instincts, the Iron Wall Skeleton naturally did not miss this opportunity. It ferociously swung its still-intact Skeleton Greatsword. Since its opponent was powerless to retaliate, the strike severed the right arm bone that held its greatsword. The crisp sound of splintering bone was clearly audible as the blade passed through.

Although the ordinary Skeleton felt no pain, losing its weapon and an arm bone meant it had lost its core combat capability. It still fearlessly tried to counterattack with its fangs and Bone Claws, but this was merely futile resistance against the Iron Wall Skeleton's greatsword.

Before long, the practically unharmed Iron Wall Skeleton slaughtered the ordinary Skeleton, which had started out as its equal.

After its victory, it gripped its Skeleton Greatsword in one hand and held the opponent's skull aloft in the other. It turned to face Fang Zhou, the Soul Fire within its skull burning ever more fiercely.

Having watched the entire battle, Fang Zhou nodded in approval. The power of the Iron Wall Aura had been fully demonstrated. It not only greatly enhanced the Defense capabilities of his summoned Undead Creatures but also provided a chance for them to deliver a decisive blow against their enemies.

As an Apprentice-level Support Skill, the power of the Iron Wall Aura was already impressive. Fang Zhou was very satisfied with its effect.

After relishing the previous battle, Fang Zhou elegantly snapped his fingers. The two Skeletons instantly dissolved into wisps of ghostly light and were banished back to the Undead Realm.

After casually tidying up the battlefield, Fang Zhou stretched, feeling every muscle in his body relax. He yawned slightly. A hint of fatigue flickered in his eyes, but it was overshadowed by satisfaction and anticipation.

With a sense of ease, Fang Zhou left the Concentration Meditation Room and stepped onto the path back to his dormitory.

「The next afternoon, in the underground training ground of the Hall of Glory.」

ROAR!

In the depths unreachable by sunlight, the roars of ten Little Inferior Demons echoed like a call from Hell, resonating through the vast underground space.

These ten Little Inferior Demons, whose power had been unleashed to the level of Middle-Rank Apprentices, were tightly surrounded by thirty Skeletons of the same level summoned by Fang Zhou. A cold gleam emanated from the bones of these Undead Creatures, and the weapons they wielded glinted like the Death God's scythe.

According to the Human Alliance's evaluation, the racial Combat Power Coefficient of Skeletons, as Apprentice-level Undead Creatures, is far lower than that of Little Inferior Demons. Under conditions of equivalent realm and Four-dimensional Attributes, a single Little Inferior Demon could easily tear a Skeleton to pieces.

Therefore, even though the Skeletons currently held an overwhelming numerical advantage, the ten Little Inferior Demons all sneered with disdain. Their fierce gazes pierced through the Skeleton Army to lock onto Fang Zhou, their eyes burning with manic killing intent and rage.

At a command from Coach Lu Hu on the sidelines, the chains and iron cages confining the ten Little Inferior Demons were unsealed.

The horn of battle sounded, and the fight between the Little Inferior Demons and the Skeleton Army erupted instantly.

Below the stage, the other first-year Seed Students were also focused on this bloody spectacle, a battle far beyond their own combat level. They watched with bated breath, their faces full of pity for the ten surrounded Little Inferior Demons. Everyone was curious to see what sort of tragic end awaited them under the Skeleton Army's assault.

From the very first clash, the Little Inferior Demons on the training ground were utterly baffled.

These skeletal constructs, which were normally as fragile as paper under their claws, now seemed imbued with some unknown power, making them indestructible. For some reason, these Skeletons, which should have been bare-handed, were now equipped with finely crafted skeletal weapons. With the help of these weapons, feeble attacks that were once unable to penetrate their Solid Scale Armor had suddenly become incredibly sharp.

As the battle progressed, the battle-hardened Little Inferior Demons were agonized to discover that these skeletal weapons not only possessed powerful Armor-Piercing capabilities but were also imbued with Death Energy and Corrosive Poison Damage—effects they both abhorred and feared.
