How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 194 - 0191: Practical Assessment

Chapter 194: Chapter 0191: Practical Assessment

Amidst the chatter of the Fu family’s youths, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng realized their current predicament.

Through the Transmission Array beneath the Ancient Moon Well.

The two indeed arrived at the land of the legendary and splendid ancient country—Yun Zhao Country.

At this moment.

The “Yunlai Prefecture” where the pair stood was one of the thirty-six prefectures of the ancient Yun Zhao Country, its territory even vaster than that of Chu Country.

Upon arriving in the ancient country.

Beyond their excitement and anticipation, there was also a sense of unfamiliarity and caution.

This ancient land was no longer the world they were familiar with, once dominated by sects.

As long as ten thousand years ago, the sects had declined and had even been deemed illegal organizations.

In this vast and ancient nation.

Imperial power divided the world, commanding all the princes and various clans.

“The two of you only need to remember ‘one emperor, four great families, ten ancient clans, thirty-six prefectures,’ to grasp a rough idea of the distribution of power in Yun Zhao Country,”

Elder Mao, with a slight smile.

As he spoke, his gaze often lingered on the pure and peerless beauty of Ye Luofeng.

One emperor, four great families, ten ancient clans, thirty-six prefectures…

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng exchanged glances, filled with amazement.

“Ten ancient clans?”

Chen Yu murmured these words softly.

The ten ancient clans were the only entities he did not quite understand.

[One Emperor]: Evidently, it was the Yun Zhao royal family, the supreme rulers.

[Four Great Families]: Four super famililies that soared like the noonday sun, their influence sprawling across the world.

With the Fu family’s strength, on par with the Bone Demon Palace, it seemed to be an offshoot of one of the four great families and took pride in this fact.

This indicated the profound power of these four great families.

[Thirty-Six Prefectures]: One prefecture, one prince, each prefecture equal to a common nation.

“The ten ancient clans are the long-standing noble families of Yun Zhao Country. The descendants of these families possess noble bloodlines; they are born aristocrats!”

“Yes, even the Yun Zhao royal family is one of the ten ancient clans.”

As the group of youths discussed the ten ancient clans, a hint of reverence shone in their eyes.

Noble bloodlines? Born aristocrats?

Chen Yu became somewhat intrigued by the ten ancient clans.

Could the “Black Emperor Bloodline” he had stripped from Lu Zhuo be considered a kind of noble bloodline?

In the killing fields of the Blood Burial Garden.

That Lu Zhuo had an inexplicable sense of superiority, viewing the genius disciples of the Bone Demon Palace and the two sects as “country bumpkins.”

“Hmph! What noble bloodlines, nothing but a bunch of pretentious, outdated snobs,”

commented Elder Mao with a hint of disdain.

“More than half of the ten ancient clans have now declined, struggling to continue their bloodlines. And yet, one of their fallen branches still disdains to intermarry with a thriving and legitimate clan.”

Despite his words, Elder Mao’s tone carried a trace of sourness.

Regardless of their prosperity or decline, the ten ancient clans in Yun Zhao Country represented noble bloodlines, the identity of aristocracy.

“Miss Ye, as you are unfamiliar with this place, why not come and visit our Fu family?”

“Exactly! With Miss Ye’s talent and strength, becoming either an affiliated family member or a guest of our Fu family would be an effortless accomplishment,”

some youths in the crowd eagerly proposed.

Looking at them, one could tell they feared Ye Luofeng would go her separate way after inquiring about the situation.

In regards to this, the rescued girl “Fu Yanzi” pouted her lips slightly and felt stifled.

She envied and resented Ye Luofeng’s stunning beauty.

Originally.

With her looks and talent, she was considered one of the Heavenly Pride Girls in the Fu family who received much attention, and even Elder Mao had intentions to pursue her.

However.

When Ye Luofeng appeared and captivated everyone, all the young men fell head over heels, completely forgetting her existence.

Elder Mao hardly gave her another look, completely drawn to Ye Luofeng.

And now.

The fact that everyone was inviting Ye Luofeng to visit the Fu family and even become an affiliated family member or a guest filled her with indignation.

“Visit?”

Ye Luofeng and Chen Yu exchanged another look.

Just as the duo were about to speak under the expectant gazes of the youths,

“Who goes there!”

Suddenly, Ye Luofeng and Chen Yu turned their gaze toward the treetops to the left in unison.

“Truly, heroes emerge from the young. I merely approached within ten yards, and you young heroes have detected me,”

a robust laugh sounded.

No sooner had the voice died away,

than an elderly man in plain clothes descended from the foliage of a large tree to the left.

“Uncle Lin!”

“We pay respects to Uncle Lin!”

Elder Mao, Fu Yanzi, and other youths all promptly paid respects, wearing expressions of reverence.

Chen Yu surmised that this elder, known as “Uncle Lin,” had a cultivation not much inferior to Elder Mao.

The man had approached within ten yards, and it was only because he had carelessly stepped on a dried leaf, producing a subtle noise, that he was detected by Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng.

Afterward.

With Elder Mao’s introduction, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng became acquainted with the elder.

“I am Fu Lin, ranked second in the clan. You may simply call me Uncle Lin,”

Uncle Lin said, wearing an approving smile.

He had observed Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng in action from the dark.

Their skills, although not earth-shattering for the Qi Transformation Innate stage, were commendable.

What was truly valuable was their youth; Ye Luofeng especially, at least at the Postnatal Late Stage of cultivation, not far from Qi Transformation Innate.

“Fu Hong! In this practical assessment, since you all failed to jointly repel or contend with two Cloud Pattern Leopards, you’re graded C,”

declared Uncle Lin in a stern tone, his sharp gaze sweeping over Fu Hong and the others.

The group of youths all shamefully hung their heads low, not daring to meet Uncle Lin’s gaze.

“Practical combat assessment?”

Chen Yu was slightly startled and then quickly understood what was going on.

Clearly,

The group of young warriors, including Fu Hong, Fu Yanzi, and others, had engaged in a bloody battle with ferocious beasts and demon beasts in the forest, and it was a practical combat assessment.

Its purpose seemed to be for the clan to hone the real combat abilities of the new generation.

“You usually practice in too comfortable conditions, lacking real combat experience and teamwork.”

“Both Cloud Pattern Leopards are not even at the Postnatal Middle Stage; and you have over a dozen people, one at the Postnatal Qi Transformation, over a dozen at the Organ Refining Stage, and three or four in the Late Stage of Organ Refining and at its peak.”

“If you were able to quickly form a formation and use the terrain to your advantage, you could at least hold your own for a while.”

Uncle Lin’s tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Chen Yu stood by, dumbfounded.

When he and Ye Luofeng had just arrived, they saw two Cloud Pattern Leopards slaughtering the group of young ones, sending them fleeing in disarray, without any courage to fight back.

“The assessment information we received earlier said there was only one Cloud Pattern Leopard here…”

Fu Hong said with a gloomy expression.

If there had been only one Cloud Pattern Leopard, leading a team with so many members at the Qi Transformation Postnatal Stage, he naturally wouldn’t fear it.

But the reality was, upon their arrival at this place, they were greeted by two Cloud Pattern Leopards.

“One Cloud Pattern Leopard? Hmph! That was an intentional error in the information provided by the clan. In actual chaotic battles and confrontations with enemies, there will always be unexpected occurrences. Without the ability to adapt, how can you survive?”

Uncle Lin snorted coldly.

That remark left Fu Hong and the others speechless.

Chen Yu, having experienced the clan wars in Chu Country, deeply agreed with Uncle Lin’s words.

Whether it was the battle at Beishan Spirit Garden, the mission at Yan Family Castle, or the later clan wars, there were too many unforeseen events.

Even a close friend by your side could potentially be an infiltrator.

Chen Yu speculated that over here in Yun Zhao Country, the world was governed more by imperial power and was relatively more peaceful and comfortable.

The Fu Family, in particular, was a major clan in the region of Yunlai Prefecture.

As such, the combat experience of these young ones was indeed very average.

“This Uncle Lin is likely responsible both for assessing and secretly protecting these young ones. Even if I hadn’t taken action, Fu Yanzi most likely wouldn’t have died,” thought Chen Yu.

After berating the group of young warriors,

Uncle Lin then turned, smiling, and invited Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng to visit the Fu Family.

“As a senior sister, I and my junior brother are venturing out for the first time and would love to witness the prominence of a major outside clan,”

Ye Luofeng agreed to Uncle Lin’s invitation using her status as a senior sister.

Chen Yu curled his lip and didn’t object.

Visiting a major local clan to adapt and understand the customs and common sense of Yun Zhao Country aligned with Chen Yu’s own thoughts.

On the other hand,

He was almost ready to charge into the Qi Transformation Realm and needed a stable environment.

“Please, don’t mention it,”

Uncle Lin addressed the two without putting on airs of an elder, speaking in a friendly tone.

An hour later,

Chen Yu, with Ye Luofeng, followed Uncle Lin and the young Fu Family team to a flat valley.

Not long after,

Another team of young warriors walked into the valley, accompanied by a middle-aged man at the Qi Transformation Realm.

“Uncle Cheng!”

Fu Hong, Fu Yanzi, and others saluted the middle-aged elder in succession.

Judging by appearances, these youths belonged to another Fu Family team undergoing a practical combat assessment.

Leading the second team of young warriors was a young man with a square face, looking mature and steady.

However,

When the square-faced young man’s gaze landed on Ye Luofeng, his heart skipped a beat, his gaze froze for a moment before he forcibly shifted his eyes away to maintain his composure on the surface.

“Fu Hong, your team only achieved a C-grade result?”

When the square-faced young man, Fu Jing, learned of Fu Hong’s assessment results, he couldn’t help but smirk.

Because,

His team had achieved a B-grade result, fighting undefeated against a group of ferocious beasts led by a Postnatal Middle Stage demon beast for half an hour.

“Fu Jing! Don’t be so smug; we were up against two Postnatal Stage demon beasts!”

Fu Hong clenched his fists, his face flushed, as he sneakily glanced at Ye Luofeng.

“Whether it’s two or one, the difficulty of the assessments our teams faced was roughly the same.”

Square-faced young man Fu Jing said indifferently.

Seeing the dispute between the two,

The rest of the members from both teams appeared somewhat surprised.

In normal times,

Although the relationship between Fu Hong and Fu Jing was not great, they rarely openly confronted each other.

Especially Fu Jing, who was always more composed.

Uncle Lin, the plain-clothed man, and Uncle Cheng first looked surprised, then their gazes skimmed over Ye Luofeng, reflecting a thoughtful expression.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but sigh; indeed, a beautiful woman could bring disaster.

It looked like he would have to maintain a certain distance from Ye Luofeng in the future.

Later,

The two learned that Fu Hong and Fu Jing were two of the greatest talents of the Fu Family in Yunlai Prefecture, both possessing Postnatal Qi Transformation cultivation.

Among them,

The more mature Fu Jing was slightly superior in cultivation strength and ranked among the top talents of the clan.

Two days later,

Yunlai Prefecture, Fu Family.

Chen Yu entered a garden estate filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers along with a group of talented young warriors of the Fu Family.

The Fu Family’s main base was not in the central district but rooted near a riverbank in the countryside.

In an elegant parlor,

Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng met the head of the Fu Family, Fu Yuan.

Family Head Fu Yuan, a portly elder of considerable age, had his eyes slightly squinted, twinkling with sharp light.

Uncle Lin, the second eldest, also known in the family as Fu Lin, accompanied them.

Hearing that Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng had each killed a Cloud Pattern Leopard in seconds, Family Head Fu Yuan was also quite moved.

After some pleasantries,

Family Head Fu Yuan spoke, “The two young heroes are venturing out for the first time and are unfamiliar with this place. Are you interested in joining our Yunlai Fu Family?”
