Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 139 - 138: Popularity Rankings? The King of Hell’s Book of Life and Death!

Chapter 139: Chapter 138: Popularity Rankings? The King of Hell’s Book of Life and Death!

After witnessing the performance of Taihua High School, the other six high schools outside of Yaoxing High School immediately reacted.

They temporarily abandoned the idea of besieging Yaoxing High School and turned to encircle the candidates from Taihua High School instead.

However, due to the mutual distrust among the six schools, they kept a considerable distance from each other and did not cooperate sincerely.

Facing this scene of seemingly having the entire world as an enemy (don’t ask how the enemies came), Su Yuan remained calm and unhurried.

He glanced up at the popularity ranking and said casually:

"Everyone, I intend to take the top spot on the popularity list."

"And to become number one, there’s nothing more effective than personally taking down candidates who are ahead of me in popularity."

"Those who make it to the top ten in popularity do so either because of their looks, their good relations, their strength, or perhaps all three."

"I will challenge each of you. No matter how many obstacles stand in my way, I will eliminate you."

After delivering this declaration of war, Su Yuan raised his hand and pointed at a high school student exuding the gentle aura of a Japanese anime protagonist, with a silly expression.

"First, it’s you. Your name is Liang Yunyun, right?"

"Even a background character like you has higher popularity than me. I’ll deal with you first!"

Without waiting for the candidates from the six major high schools to attack, Su Yuan led his army straight towards Liang Yunyun.

Liang Yunyun’s school is called Red Deer High School, which claims to be one of the top five high schools in the city, although the true ranking is estimated to be eighth.

Already inferior to Taihua High School, when facing the transformed Special Advancement Class of Taihua High School, they could only be crushed!

Seeing this, two female high school students at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer from the Red Deer group immediately stood in front of Liang Yunyun.

"Xiaoliang, you retreat first and join up with candidates from other high schools. We’ll hold off Su Yuan for you."

"Liang Yunyun, I’m not doing this for you, but to teach that demon Su Yuan a lesson. Hurry and leave, don’t stand in the way!"

"Everyone..."

Liang Yunyun, looking at the gentle and the tsundere classmates in front of him, couldn’t help but feel moved.

Only at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, after some hesitation, he decided to follow their advice and go join candidates from other schools to resist Su Yuan together.

But before he could move a step, a sensation akin to an electric shock surged through his entire body.

His body suddenly stiffened, as if immobilized by a spell, frozen in place without moving.

"Liang Yunyun, why are you just standing there..."

The tsundere girl scolded with anger upon seeing this.

At that moment, a cold and eerie voice suddenly penetrated their ears.

"Want to experience why he’s frozen?"

Su Yuan appeared like a ghost in front of the two girls.

The tsundere girl, her beautiful eyes flashing with sharpness, executed a kick towards Su Yuan’s face.

"Too slow."

Su Yuan casually raised his hand and grabbed the tsundere girl’s ankle.

With the daily tempering from the Undying Sword Body, combined with the strength boost from the Fury Heart Attack, Su Yuan’s power had far exceeded that of an average Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

In the instant he grabbed the tsundere girl’s ankle, the Abyssal Spiritual Power snaked into her body like a spirit snake.

Sensitivity increased a hundredfold!

"Ugh..."

The tsundere girl trembled violently, collapsing to the ground like a pile of mud the moment Su Yuan released her ankle, her eyes dilated and lost their luster.

Without sparing the fallen beauty a glance, Su Yuan used his hand like a fork to seize the other shocked gentle girl.

A cloud of black mist, as dark as ink, exhaled from Su Yuan’s mouth, entering the girl’s nose and mouth.

Her terrified eyes gradually turned blank, and eventually, she respectfully bowed to Su Yuan:

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Su Yuan ignored her, slowly walking up to the red-faced Liang Yunyun.

The reason Liang Yunyun remained frozen in place was simple—Su Yuan, while enhancing his own sensitivity with Abyssal Spiritual Power, had also used Demon Technique·Finger Body on Liang Yunyun.

Even a slight movement would likely result in an embarrassing accident for him.

"The first."

Su Yuan raised his finger, aiming at the center of Liang Yunyun’s forehead, and gently released a strand of Sword Qi.

A not-too-heavy wound appeared on the latter’s forehead, but, according to the light-tinted barrier’s assessment, this strand of Sword Qi was enough to eliminate Liang Yunyun.

Liang Yunyun, eliminated.

At this moment, the popularity list resembled King Yama’s book, writing down who was doomed next.

Finally, the Taihua High School candidates arrived, capturing the two beautiful girls as prisoners while launching an aggressive attack on the remaining students of Red Deer High School.

"Xiao Meng, let’s go."

Su Yuan left the remnants of Red Deer High School behind, bringing the strongest fighter Xiao Meng with him, heading towards the eighth spot on the popularity list.

The eighth on the list was the grade leader from Qiansuan High School, Wang Baiji.

This was an unremarkable-looking young man whose high popularity ranking of eighth was solely due to his abilities.

Not his combat prowess, but his skill in command and organization.

Qiansuan High School was specifically known for cultivating management talents and was also the alma mater of Chen Xian.

And Wang Baiji did not tarnish their school’s reputation.

When Su Yuan was dealing with Red Deer High School, he had already convinced Black Dragon High School, which specialized in sports, to join forces with them.

The fragile commander was currently hiding among a group of Black Dragon sports students wearing black-skinned white socks.

After the two schools’ candidates joined forces, it meant that if Su Yuan wanted to take down Wang Baiji, he had to break through the defense line of over seventy Qi Cultivation Late Stage candidates. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

This was nearly an impossible task for a Qi Cultivation cultivator.

"Xiao Meng, give it your all."

Su Yuan issued an order to the girl at his side.

The next second, the Yin Fire Spiritual Power within Xiao Meng surged.

Countless dusky purple fireballs, carrying light and heat, flew out of the girl’s body, raining toward Wang Baiji’s direction like fiery rain.

Each fireball had a characteristic of never being extinguished and was much more powerful than Xiao Kong’s Black Flame.

Back then, Xiao Kong’s Black Flame could be temporarily stopped with a layer of Spiritual Power coating, but Xiao Meng’s flames were like concentrated sulfuric acid, instantly corroding the target’s Spiritual Power coating.

This was the absolute dominance a genius with a Magic Vein, Spirit Body, and family lineage had over ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Although the black-skinned sports students were physically robust, they could not ignore the threat of the fireballs and had to divert a significant amount of attention to defend against them.

This naturally led to certain lapses in the protection of Wang Baiji.

Su Yuan’s figure flickered, directly charging towards Wang Baiji through the breach in the defense line.

A Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer black-skinned sports student attacked Su Yuan, but Su Yuan remained unphased, sending a Sword Qi condensed by the Demon Heart Sword Seed towards him.

Without suspense, the black-skinned sports student was eliminated with one strike.

But there were simply too many opponents. Just after dealing with one black-skinned sports student, more gathered around him.

Taixu Nine Swords!

Nine concentrated Sword Qi shots blasted from Su Yuan’s meridians, targeting three sports students, two to their chests and one to their head, instantly taking out three more.

"Squad Leader Wang, Su Yuan is attacking, his strength is excessively formidable, what should we do?"

Next to Wang Baiji, a Qiansuan High School student asked frantically.

The former, however, was calm and even started to laugh out loud.

"Why are you laughing, Squad Leader?"

The Qiansuan High School student was puzzled.

Wang Baiji laughed and said:

"I laugh because Su Yuan, that kid, has all the skills but no strategy whatsoever."

"Look at each Sword Qi he releases—it’s powerful, yes, but it consumes an enormous amount of Spiritual Power."

"Even though Su Yuan has a special Magic Vein with a high level of Spiritual Power refinement and received Master Taibai’s true teachings, it’s impossible for him to eliminate all the Black Dragon High School candidates before exhausting his Spiritual Power."

"The final result will be nothing but a defeat due to exhaustion."

Upon hearing this, the Qiansuan High School student came to a realization and quickly added:

"Squad Leader, you’re right. Also, Su Yuan is incredibly arrogant."

"He could have used Hypnosis on the Black Dragon High School students to gain support, but instead, he chose to eliminate them. It’s utterly foolish."

Wang Baiji merely smiled without a word, and the other Qiansuan High School students also relaxed.

But as they laughed, they realized something was wrong.

For Su Yuan had taken out as many as fifteen Black Dragon High School candidates without showing any signs of fatigue.

Instead... he’s getting stronger as he fights?!

"Something’s not right."

A sense of unease arose in Wang Baiji’s heart.

Su Yuan’s Spiritual Power was absurdly abundant.

In fact, Su Yuan’s Spiritual Power source was straightforward—it came from the black-skinned sports students he eliminated.

Every time he attacked a black-skinned sports student, he secretly extended the tendrils of the Senluo Spirit Root into the opponent’s Dantian to draw Spiritual Power to replenish his consumption.

Of course, the black-skinned sports students who were swiftly eliminated didn’t notice a thing.

And the Senluo Spirit Root’s concealment was indeed effective, as no one on the scene seemed to notice Su Yuan stealing Spiritual Power.

Perhaps Taibai Yuxi, with her exceptional sense for detecting the Demon Dao, might notice, but would she really speak out?

"Wang, it’s time to go."

After forcibly carving a path through the encircling black-skinned sports students, Su Yuan finally reached the baffled Wang Baiji.

Using the Demon Technique·Finger Body to immobilize him, the powerful Spiritual Wisdom Sword Qi formed from the fusion of multiple Sword Qi blasted him apart!

Without their commander, Qiansuan High School and Black Dragon High School turned into scattered sand and were gradually cleaned up by the increasingly strong Taihua High School team.

At this point, Su Yuan had already defeated four of the eight high schools.

The only ones left were the strongest, Yaoxing High School, the Bahe Princess High School, which held places four, five, six, and seven on the popularity rankings, and Yangxi High School, with the lowest comprehensive strength among the eight schools.

These three high schools had already joined forces.

To be precise, Li Zhengxing had taken in the candidates from Bahe Princess High School and Yangxi High School.

Thus, only two forces remained on the field.

One was the Taihua Demon Sect, which was growing through evil Hypnotic Sword Qi, and the other was the Righteous Alliance led by the strongest student of Taihua.
