Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 137 - 136: Ye Muyu: Taihua City, a Land of Outstanding Talent

Chapter 137: Chapter 136: Ye Muyu: Taihua City, a Land of Outstanding Talent

Xiao Meng’s head suddenly split open from the middle, revealing a mind-blowing hole, allowing the Black-Red Sword Qi to pass through.

"Taixu Nine Swords..."

Xiao Meng’s head reattached itself, having been stunned into numbness.

As a deep fan of online novels, Xiao Meng had reason to suspect her younger brother was cheating!

He likely had the trendy "Future Advance" cheat, learning any cultivation technique with one click and then grinding proficiency nonstop.

But Xiao Meng quickly realized another problem.

The Future Advance cheat usually allows for only one cultivation technique at a time, yet this kid has shown multiple Perfection Level martial arts.

More outrageous than cheat codes?

No matter, Xiao Meng wouldn’t choose to back down because of this.

The Undying Sword Body can fend off physical attacks, so let’s see how you handle magical attacks!

She unleashed all her power, purple flames surged from her body like dragons and pounded heavily towards Xiao Kong.

Using fire against fire might sound foolish, but it’s actually the orthodox method to test the talent of Xiao Family’s disciples.

The side with stronger firepower would completely suppress the weaker side.

And clearly, with the Yin Fire Magic Vein and Yin Fire Spirit Body, Xiao Meng’s firepower was above Xiao Kong’s.

Once the firepower clash began, within a minute, Xiao Kong’s bones could be burnt crisp by her.

At least that’s always been the case.

But when Xiao Kong fearlessly launched Black Flame to collide with the purple flames, Xiao Meng felt something wrong again.

The firepower of her younger brother had gotten stronger!

And not just slightly stronger, but increased by more than sixty percent!

Sixty percent!

The frightening increase is almost equivalent to rising a small realm, or the Spiritual Power Strength index grew by more than 0.6!

But how is this possible!

Xiao Meng hastily increased her firepower, but the Black Flame had already temporarily suppressed the purple flames, making it impossible for her to withdraw.

Moreover, with the two kinds of flames entangled, she could no longer freely control her fire.

Then she saw a vortex appear at Xiao Kong’s Dantian, where strands of Black-Red Sword Qi were born, fused, and ultimately transformed into a super Hypnotic Sword Qi!

Judging by its power, it seemed even stronger than the sword Su Yuan struck in the Taixu Illusion Realm!

"I took a shortcut in this battle, but I won’t next time."

Xiao Kong calmly spoke as he unleashed the sword qi, using up all his Spiritual Power, shooting straight toward Xiao Meng!

The girl watched in disbelief as the sword approached her, her eyes full of indignation and helplessness.

Once again, she was about to be pierced by the same sword.

Even though she hadn’t used even half her strength in this battle and hadn’t even touched the corner of Su Yuan’s clothes.

But it was already too late; accompanied by the force of Spirit Shock crashing against her spiritual platform, her delicate body slightly shook, and the spiritual light in her beautiful eyes gradually dimmed.

And Xiao Kong?

He had already burned out, with the Black Flame receding from his body, he collapsed powerlessly on the stage.

He had been judged by the protective light membrane as having exhausted his spiritual power and could not continue to fight, thus eliminated.

Because the flames erupted from within his body, his clothes had been entirely burned away.

Also, to ensure the fairness of the exam, he hadn’t worn close-fitting fireproof robes.

Fortunately, the examination committee had anticipated such scenarios, and the protective light membrane automatically mimicked the Dark Priest and Holy Light, covering all inappropriate areas.

However, barring these private parts, the rest of Xiao Kong’s body was exposed before everyone.

The densely imprinted dark purple runes covering his upper body and even extending to half his buttocks captured everyone’s attention.

The visual impact, surprise, and shock were beyond what all the audience and judges expected.

Zhang Youde, the headmaster who had been gratified by Xiao Kong’s performance, had deeply lowered his head.

He knew it; this kid Su Yuan would definitely create some chaos!

And because the battle ended too quickly, the other contestant teams on the stage hadn’t even started fighting.

The whole scene fell into an eerie silence.

The only change was Xiao Kong’s name quietly squeezing into the top ten of the popularity list.

No one knew how long it took before the referee Old Huang, holding a microphone, cautiously said:

"Xiao Kong performed excellently in his fight with Xiao Meng... although he narrowly lost due to exhaustion of spiritual power, he still presented us with an incredibly spectacular visual feast."

"Let’s hear what the judges have to say about this battle."

The camera switched to the judge’s panel.

The audience’s first glance fell upon Xiao Butian, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Although most people were unaware of Xiao Butian’s relationship with the Xiao siblings, the surname was enough to give some guesses.

Fortunately, Li Qingyun managed to handle the situation. After a brief moment of daze, he smiled and said:

"Xiao Kong’s performance is indeed quite good, but much of his displayed strength comes from the nine runes on his body."

"If I’m not mistaken, these nine runes should be nine highly refined, reusable special Spirit Talismans."

The ignorant audience finally understood the situation.

So those were Spirit Talismans, not some personal hobby of Eldest Young Master Xiao or a task from his master.

"Given the rule against using external objects in the Eight School Joint Exam, I reasonably speculate that these nine Spirit Talismans were drawn by a Talisman Dao genius among the Taihua High School candidates."

"Rather than focusing solely on Xiao Kong’s performance in battle, perhaps everyone should pay more attention to the upcoming performance of that Talisman Dao genius."

Li Qingyun’s explanation barely cleared Xiao Kong’s name.

Yet, it was still foreseeable that the images of Eldest Young Master Xiao covered in runes would spread rapidly.

No wonder he’s called a man who gambled everything; to win, he even risked social suicide.

Host Old Huang said:

"Thank you, Instructor Li Qingyun, for the wonderful commentary. Now, Instructor Ye, what’s your view on this fight?"

These words instantly put everyone, including Zhang Youde, on edge.

After all, although Li Qingyun didn’t explicitly say so, it was clear to those in the know that these runes were Demonic Runes!

As an elder of both the Ten Great Immortal Sects and the Ten Great Righteous Sects, would Ye Muyu develop a dislike for Taihua City because of this?

Fortunately, when they saw Instructor Ye’s demeanor at this moment, they all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Ye Muyu was seen leaning her ear towards a white-haired Lolita in her arms, gently listening to the latter’s whispers.

Once the camera turned to her, she smiled and said:

"Taihua City indeed is a place endowed with talented individuals. I look forward to the developments of this exam."

With this positive response, everyone heaved a great sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Instructor Ye, for your evaluation. Now let’s turn our attention back to the examination field, and see what performance Xiao Meng will deliver after defeating Xiao Kong."

"Hmm? She! She’s defected?"

Seeing this bizarre scene on the examination field, Old Huang’s voice changed in shock.

Somehow, Xiao Meng had already stepped into the Taihua High School team, taking Xiao Kong’s place.

Is she carrying on Xiao Kong’s legacy?
