The Horn Demon Outpost is a team-mode simulation battlefield; it can be tackled by a trio, and the difficulty is huge. How could Fang Zhou possibly clear it alone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately someone countered: \"Haha, Fang Zhou is not an ordinary person like us. What seems like climbing to heaven for us, he might accomplish with ease.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students in the training ground were discussing fervently, all curious whether Fang Zhou could clear the Horn Demon Outpost as smoothly as he did yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou didn’t pay attention to others’ discussions and simply nodded in greeting to a few familiar first-year students before finding a simulation pod to log into the simulation battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Re-uploading the projection, Fang Zhou updated it with the enhancements from the Level 1 Blue Gemstone and the new skill [Resurrection of the Dead].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, Su Xinyan had already informed him that the Horn Demon Outpost, unlike the solo-mode Little Inferior Demon Camp, is a team instance designed for three-person teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou didn’t have much confidence in completing it solo, but he would give it his all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Success would be ideal; if he failed, he could find areas to improve upon and determine the direction of future efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After preparing, Fang Zhou looked at the second Teleportation Gate that appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Horn Demon Outpost, Easy Difficulty (Apprentice Middle), Team Mode.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou moved his projection to touch the Teleportation Gate, immediately receiving a prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Sergeant Fang Zhou, this simulation battlefield is team mode with a high difficulty, it is recommended to join a team of three. Do you wish to proceed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, in the entire first year, Fang Zhou was the only apprentice middle rank; where could he find two teammates?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Zhou chuckled and resolutely paid 2 contribution points for entry, directly commencing the challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the simulation battlefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>both instructors and first-year students focused their attention on the large screen, watching Fang Zhou’s combat livestream with full concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, Fang Zhou had swept through four difficulty levels of the Little Inferior Demon Camp like a whirlwind, not only being the sole student to clear the Abyss Difficulty but also topping each difficulty’s speed leaderboard, far surpassing Ye Fan, Meng Hongzhuang, Gu Zhiqiu, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is evidence in the form of combat recordings, and everyone is genuinely impressed with Fang Zhou’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, today Fang Zhou is challenging the Horn Demon Outpost, which is, after all, an apprentice middle-level three-man instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In most people’s eyes, although Fang Zhou had miraculously advanced to apprentice middle level within a month, both his spirit attributes and skill proficiency have much room to be developed, far from reaching their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to clear Horn Demon Outpost solo, even at easy difficulty, the odds do not seem high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the simulation battlefield, Fang Zhou slowly opened his eyes, finding himself amidst dense fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of surveying his surroundings, he immediately conjured two Skeleton Shields to guard around him and then wielded his magic staff to continuously cast [Summon Skeleton].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Summon Skeleton skill now at Perfection level, he could summon several skeletons at once, and the casting speed had greatly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Fang Zhou had summoned 20 robust skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his projection strength wasn’t suppressed, so the summoned skeletons were also apprentice middle rank, with a noticeably higher bone durability than those from yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by his skeleton horde, Fang Zhou finally allowed himself a moment’s breath as he began to observe his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-05T17:55:40.746Z",1,"novelbin.me","f4a5f157535db217f54bb4d0017621d58ead9bba01c36dd4caa6da425fdaa047","undead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-chapter-39","undead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-chapter-37",781,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-i-have-a-skeleton-clone-cover.jpg"]
