Another fierce Skeleton Arrow Rain fell.

A few Little Inferior Demons wailed as they fell, and the ensuing explosions caused even more casualties. The Little Inferior Demons, tightly surrounded by the Skeleton Army, fell into disarray. Facing continuous magical strikes from Fang Zhou, their once-high morale quickly crumbled.

Several elite Little Inferior Demons waved their steel forks and roared loudly, trying to stabilize their formation and hold out for reinforcements. But soon, these prominent figures were precisely picked off by Fang Zhou with a two-hit combo of Skeleton Shackles followed by a Skeleton Flying Spear.

This was the time for a fight to the death. Fang Zhou completely disregarded the consumption of his Spiritual Power. He frantically cast spells, aiming to inflict greater casualties on the Little Inferior Demon squad before the Horned Demon Boss arrived. This would reduce the difficulty of the upcoming battle.

In just two short minutes, the previously arrogant Little Inferior Demon squad had lost over half its numbers, and the survivors were all injured.

Meanwhile, the panting Horned Demon Boss was already roaring as it charged toward the battlefield. Seeing its fierce figure, the nearly-demoralized Little Inferior Demons barely managed to rally their spirits, resisting the Skeletons' assault with the desperation of cornered beasts.

"Cunning! Human! Die!"

Amid the garbled roars of the Axed Heavy Armored Horned Demon, it charged toward the fray between the Little Inferior Demons and Skeletons like an unstoppable war machine.

ROAR!

Under Fang Zhou's expectant gaze, the heavy-bodied Horned Demon Boss stepped right into the trap. The fragile camouflage couldn't support the weight of its heavy armor and instantly collapsed.

ROAR!

Another earth-shattering roar erupted as the Skeleton Flying Spears that Fang Zhou had long since planted in the trap unleashed their power. Fortunately, this Horned Demon Boss was clad in heavy armor with extremely high Defense Power. Otherwise, those few Skeleton Flying Spears could have seriously injured it.

From across the chaotic Battle Group, Fang Zhou didn't know the exact situation inside the pit. However, hearing the Horned Demon's continuous wailing, he knew it was certainly taking a hit and wouldn't be climbing out anytime soon.

Having temporarily neutralized the major threat of the Horned Demon Boss, Fang Zhou felt relieved. He turned to face the despairing Little Inferior Demons, revealing a nuclear-grade smile.

"Allow me to personally arrange your funeral."

The Little Inferior Demons, their morale completely shattered, could no longer withstand the fierce assault from Fang Zhou and his Skeleton Army. With another round of Skeleton Arrow Rain, the last Little Inferior Demon fell, wailing into a pool of blood. This marked Fang Zhou's victory in this phase of the battle.

After dealing with all the Little Inferior Demons, Fang Zhou didn't rest. He immediately led his remaining 30-odd Skeletons and hurried toward the Abyss Demon Children.

The Horned Demon Boss in the trap wore heavy armor and boasted extremely high Defense Power. It would be difficult to take it down quickly. Since it can't climb out for the time being, it's better to first deal with the Abyss Demon Children, who pose the greatest threat to me.

At this moment, six Abyss Demon Children were anxiously rushing toward the battlefield. Their movement speed was the slowest to begin with, and they had been initially pinned down by Fang Zhou's Skeleton Arrow Rain. In the Thick Fog Jungle, they had unknowingly become separated from the other Demons. It wasn't until the shrieks of the Little Inferior Demons rang out that the six Abyss Demon Children followed the sound to find the correct path forward.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Soon, Fang Zhou, leading the Skeleton Army, met the six panting Demon Children head-on.

Seeing Fang Zhou unharmed, the Demon Children's eyes immediately turned red with fury. As they prepared to unleash their Magic-Devouring Talent, Fang Zhou had already deftly slipped into the crowd of Skeletons, evading their line of sight.

Without the protection of the Little Inferior Demons and now besieged by the Skeleton Army, the fate of the six Demon Children was sealed. At the cost of three Skeleton casualties, these Demon Children, which should have been a major hassle for Fang Zhou, were easily surrounded and slaughtered by the Skeleton Army.

Only then did Fang Zhou finally breathe a sigh of relief. His spontaneously devised battle plan had been meticulous and seamless, with each part linked to the next. Provoking, luring, kiting, and trapping—every step had to be executed without error to lead to this current situation where victory was all but assured.

Only someone like Fang Zhou, with his Four-dimensional Attributes far surpassing ordinary people and the ability to summon a Skeleton Army, could have truly executed this plan. Without sufficient Skeleton labor, that critical, giant trap couldn't have been dug in such a short time. Without a high enough Agility Attribute, he would have long since been caught and surrounded by the Little Inferior Demons.

Now, as long as I deal with the trapped Horned Demon Boss, I can successfully clear the Abyss Difficulty.

Fang Zhou took a shallow breath to calm his tense nerves, then led the Skeleton Army back toward the trap.

「At this moment, on the training ground.」

Watching the Horned Demon Boss roaring and struggling in the trap on the live broadcast, Ye Fan felt a sudden pang of misery, as if seeing himself being deceived by Fang Zhou's optical camouflage cloth half a month ago.

Instructor Chen Qingshan was right. People who use tactics have such dirty minds.

The other students had long been dumbfounded. When Fang Zhou commanded the Skeleton Army to dig the trap, his ingenious idea had already stunned everyone. Before this, no first-year student had ever thought it was possible to use the environment to triumph over enemies on the Simulation Battlefield. They all believed that with Fang Zhou's current strength, it was completely impossible to defeat the demons at the outpost on Abyss Difficulty head-on.

But they had forgotten that besides his terrifying strength, Fang Zhou was also a quick-witted Mage who was adept at utilizing every single advantage.

Subsequently, Fang Zhou's deliberate luring, successful kiting, perfect separation of enemies, and decisive takedowns… a series of dazzling maneuvers left the students utterly in awe. With a performance like this, if Fang Zhou wasn't designated as the No. 1 Seed, it could only be due to foul play.

Coincidentally, in the conference room, Lu Hu was also excitedly pounding the table.

"Fang Zhou for No. 1 Seed! Who agrees? Who objects?"

The other instructors all sighed with admiration.

Skilled in both planning and execution, possessing both courage and strategy. As long as Fang Zhou doesn't fall prematurely, he will definitely become a great general of the Human Alliance.

Su Tiankuo coughed lightly and glared at Lu Hu. "Quiet down! Don't pop the champagne at halftime. The toughest nut to crack, the Heavy Armored Horned Demon, hasn't been dealt with yet. Relying on those bone-sticks Fang Zhou summoned, I'm afraid he'll break his teeth before he even harms a single hair on it."

Lu Hu grinned, having already sensed the feigned bravado in Principal Su's words. He didn't dare act presumptuously any longer and turned his gaze back to Fang Zhou's live broadcast.

…

「In the Thick Fog Jungle.」

Fang Zhou felt a headache coming on as he looked at the Horned Demon Boss in the trap. Its Defense Power was extremely high, and its Life Energy was extraordinarily tenacious.

This thing is too hard to kill. A Horned Demon's Scale Armor already provided far superior defense than that of cannon fodder like Little Inferior Demons and Demon Children. This one is not only an Abyss Difficulty boss, but it is also clad in full Heavy Armor. With its Defense Power, the Skeletons I summoned can hardly inflict any effective damage.
