Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Inside a high-level training room at the academy.

Ye Ge stood in the combat training room, a ball of blazing black fire slowly condensing in his palm.

"boom!"

The three training dummy figures that rushed up were hit by the three consecutive black fireballs he threw.

The three puppets exploded in a burst of black flames, instantly turning into a pile of parts scattered throughout the combat room.

Ye Ge let out a soft breath.

He opened his attribute panel.

------

Ye Ge thought to himself, one Thunderbolt of Magic would consume about 5 points of soul power, while one Black Fireball would consume 20 points.

The skills he replicates using the Demonic Copying Technique have no cooldown, and their power does not decrease even when used consecutively.

However, if released continuously within a short period of time (five seconds), more soul power points will be consumed.

The first time requires 20 points, the second time requires 30 points, and the fourth time requires 45 points...

However, the power of the dark fireball was indeed considerable. The combat parameters of those three combat puppets were equivalent to those of three ordinary third-level Xuan Realm superhumans!

In other words, he could basically kill a normal superhuman of the same level with just one Black Fireball!

Ye Ge went to a corner of the combat training room and clicked a few times on the touch screen computer on the wall.

Adjust the opponent's level.

Earth Realm, Tier 3!

This time, Ye Ge directly adjusted the intensity of the combat training puppet to be a whole level higher than his own!

The floor of the combat training room opened, and a steel combat dummy was teleported up from underground.

"Copy Magic - Dark Fireball!"

Ye Ge's eyes sharpened, and he instantly conjured a black fireball in his hand, slapping it towards the charging Earth Realm puppet.

As expected, the Earth Realm battle puppet took a hit, the blazing black flames dissipated, and it merely took a step back before charging at Ye Ge again...

Xia Xiyao stood outside the glass enclosure of the combat training room with a curious expression.

The little girl clung to the thick glass with both hands, her eyes following Ye Ge's movements in the room as he fought against a combat doll in the training room.

"Xue'er, isn't this too dangerous for Xiaoye?"

Xia Xiyao pursed her lips worriedly: "He's only at the third level of the Profound Realm, yet he chose a puppet from the Earth Realm as his training opponent. Won't he accidentally hurt himself?"

Gao Shenxue shook her head: "No."

"Really...?" Xia Xiyao looked around for a while longer, then sat down next to Gao Shenxue, still glancing back at the training room every now and then with some unease.

"By the way, what are you doing?"

Xia Xiyao blinked curiously as she looked at the table full of things shaped like pastries that Gao Shenxue had prepared. "Are these edible?"

"Hmm, a little snack." Gao Shenxue said softly, "I'm making Xiaoye's midnight snack tonight, using the rare and precious materials I collected in the assessment instance."

"Ahhh, it's so cute... Can you teach me how to make it? I want to try too."

"sure."

Two little girls sat together making small cakes.

Suddenly remembering something, Xia Xiyao tentatively asked in a slightly hesitant voice, "Xue'er...you and Xiao Ye, have you...made any new friends lately?"

"new friend?"

Gao Shenxue tilted her head and thought for a moment. Yu Li was introduced to them by Xia Xiyao, so she shouldn't be considered a new friend.

So he shook his head: "No."

"Is...is that so...?"

"Why do you ask?"

"No, no!"

Xia Xiyao stuck out her tongue playfully, feeling a sense of relief.

She thought to herself that Xue'er had never lied to her. If Xue'er said no, then she definitely hadn't!

It seems there was definitely a misunderstanding before!

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, a ball of black fire exploded.

The Earth Realm combat puppet finally collapsed heavily, most of its parts destroyed, with some black flames still clinging to its body and burning.

Ye Ge let out a deep breath.

The final test results showed that it would take five Dark Fireballs to kill a third-tier Earth Realm transcendent.

Five black fireballs are enough to kill a superhuman who is a whole level higher than oneself. At first glance, it sounds pretty impressive.

However, in actual combat, it is quite difficult to hit a third-level Earth Realm transcendent with a skill like Dark Fireball, which has a relatively slow firing rate.

The opponent was a whole level higher and had a much higher agility attribute, so there was no chance of hitting five times.

Humans aren't like fighting dolls, blindly charging in without thinking...

The reason he was able to defeat Chu Ruohua so easily in the secret realm was because he was already quite exhausted and had been afflicted with a lot of debuffs.

He was able to kill the Black Abyss Demon Lord purely because of his knowledge of the boss; he knew this boss too well, and he knew exactly what kind of nonsense he was going to unleash every time he raised his hand.

If you really encounter a Celestial Realm transcendent who is intelligent, skilled in tactics, and unable to predict the future, it certainly won't be that easy.

Ye Ge has never been an arrogant person. He needs to appear calm and confident in front of enemies, but he must also always know his own worth.

In her past life, Ye Ge had seen too many cases of gifted young people who, after achieving early success, fell into arrogance and eventually became just ordinary people.

In this world of conflict among all races, even a moment of arrogance often means death.

At this moment, Ye Ge suddenly sensed a certain tremor within her mental consciousness.

It was as if something was calling to him from within his soul.

Is it a Devil Seed?

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Ge opened the Demon Seed's panel.

[Current stage of seed: germination]

【Life: 10000/10000】

The seed is absorbing nutrients from the surrounding soil and converting them into energy: +0.1, +0.2, +0.1, +0.2...
