Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 169 - 164: Su Yuan: Captain Wang Is Incompetent, Looks Like I Have to Step Up!
"This... this is way too evil! It’s utterly devoid of conscience!"
"No wonder Captain Wang and the others have been unable to pass the first three stages for so long. Setting aside the difficulty of creating a Human Puppet, they can’t even get past the moral and ethical barriers!"
The rescuers severely criticized the evil and darkness of the Old Cultivation Realm.
But they didn’t notice that, after hearing the revelation from the puppet woman, Su Yuan fell into a deep silence.
Damn it, so the first three tasks combined are essentially the entire study of the Vermilion Face and White Bone Puppet Refining Method?
Well, it does make sense, considering that the foundation of the White Bone Observation is this Demonic Secret Technique.
Anything involving inheritance definitely requires learning this Secret Technique.
Meaning that as long as he went to the trials, he could directly skip the first three stages!
Not to mention he’s already mastered this Secret Technique through system rewards.
Even if he hadn’t learned it in advance, with the double comprehension bonus from the "Demon Lord" title, he could get through the first three stages in less than three hours!
Instead, he wasted ten hours outside the array because he scared himself!
Damn! He was fooled by Captain Wang’s useless group!
They’ve never been Demons; they could only absurdly guess at the solutions for certain stages. It’s a miracle they even made any progress!
What a mess!
While Su Yuan was lamenting, the rescuers paused their condemnation of the Ancient Demon Sect, looking at him expectantly:
"Expert Xiaosu, do you have any solutions to these tasks?"
Su Yuan was silent for a moment before he said:
"I can go in and give it a try, but whatever I do during the trial, please do not doubt me."
"Everything is for the sake of saving lives. I have absolutely no intention of learning any Demonic Secret Technique."
The rescuers clearly didn’t realize the severity of the issue, nodding in excitement and showing anticipation.
Finally, Expert Xiaosu was about to showcase his prowess!
But then, they suddenly remembered the time constraint of little more than an hour, and their hearts sank again.
Only a little over an hour remains. Even with Expert Xiaosu’s deep research into the Demon Dao, it’s impossible to get through the evil Demon Inheritance in such a short time...
But to not affect Su Yuan’s emotions, they ultimately said nothing.
"Su Yuan, be careful out there."
Chen Nuoyi tugged at Su Yuan’s sleeve.
"Don’t worry. Even if I can’t pass the inheritance assessment, a Nascent Soul True Monarch will come to resolve it in a few hours. I won’t be in danger."
Su Yuan smiled at the girl, then strode into the entrance of the Land of Inheritance.
Upon entering the Ninth Ring area, the path behind him was immediately obscured by a mist, making retreat impossible.
Several rescuers also in the Ninth Ring saw Su Yuan and merely nodded at him, not daring to approach, for fear of disturbing the thoughts of other challengers.
Su Yuan nodded in return and looked forward.
A virtual Spiritual Text Stele appeared, detailing the method for crafting the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet.
It included instructions on selecting materials, refining flesh and blood, and transforming the Human Puppet to better enchant others.
At the same time, a nearly real woman’s body and various refining materials appeared before Su Yuan.
These materials were similar to a 3D holographic projection, touchable, detachable, and combinable.
Such a solid projection is entirely derived from array simulations, requiring a very advanced level of Array Dao skills.
It’s only thanks to this being a solid projection that Su Yuan felt no psychological burden as he began to act.
The method to pass was quite simple; just comprehend the contents on the Spiritual Text Stele and craft the solid projection into a Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet.
Su Yuan interlocked his fingers, flexed his knuckles, then targeted the materials before him, and his nimble fingers darted out like lightning, flying up and down!
He began the speedrun!
Outside the Land of Inheritance.
"The first stage requires live transformation of a young woman’s body into a puppet... Expert Xiaosu is so young, can he really endure it?"
A rescuer looked at Su Yuan’s back with concern.
The other rescuers echoed this concern, fearing Su Yuan might suffer some mental trauma for the sake of rescue.
But before they could exchange a few words, an observer cried out in shock.
"It’s moving... moving!"
"What’s moving?"
Someone asked in confusion.
"Expert Xiaosu moved, he’s... he’s already heading towards the Eighth Ring! He passed through the passage to the Eighth Ring!"
With the rescuer’s startled announcement, everyone saw that Su Yuan casually strolled through the first stage and entered the second stage.
Someone instinctively glanced at the moving time on their watch.
Three minutes!
"Three minutes? How is that possible!"
"Even without counting the time to comprehend the Demonic Secret Technique, just the process of creating a Human Puppet should be extremely complex."
"To complete a Human Puppet in three minutes, only a Demon who’s crafted tens of thousands of them could manage."
"How did Expert Xiaosu do it?"
"Even cheating wouldn’t be this intense!"
The rescuers were left stunned.
But the shock that Su Yuan brought didn’t stop there.
They saw Su Yuan briefly pause at the Eighth Ring and then directly step into the Seventh Ring!
He spent even less time in the Eighth Ring, compressing the time to under three minutes!
Two minutes later, they were astonished to see Su Yuan effortlessly surpass Captain Wang’s progress and reach the Sixth Ring!
Meaning Su Yuan spent barely eight minutes to completely master the Vermilion Face and White Bone Puppet Refining Method!
He had even reached a pinnacle of mastery!
Due to the absurd speed of progress, no one even suspected Su Yuan of being a genius in the Demon Dao.
No matter how brilliant, a genius in the Demon Dao wouldn’t be this fast!
They’d rather believe that Expert Xiaosu was cheating!
While everyone was exclaiming and discussing, Ye Muyu spoke with a smile:
"Everyone, I think Su Yuan passed the first three stages so quickly because he had prior exposure to similar Demonic Secret Techniques."
"He likely had already seen the method for crafting the Vermilion Face and White Bone Puppet in some texts."
"For us, this is good news, as it greatly increases the probability of rescuing Senior Brother Taibai and others."
The rescuers suddenly realized.
As for Ye Muyu mentioning that Su Yuan had pre-studied the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet Refining Method... all for saving lives; they decided to overlook it.
However, despite the surprise, their tension didn’t diminish one bit.
The middle three stages and the last stages must be even more challenging.
Chen Nuoyi looked to the puppet woman and asked gravely:
"Our companion has already easily passed the first three stages, can you tell us the next test questions?"
The puppet woman’s eyes flickered for a moment, then she replied:
"The Observatory Master assesses that this candidate named Su Yuan is the most likely to pass her assessment in history."
"For this person, an exception can be made. Here are the three intermediate assessment questions."
"First question: Through your own ability, increase the hardness of the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet to Class A."
"Second question: Through your own ability, increase the precision of controlling the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet to Class A."
"Third question: Through your own ability, increase the charm attribute of the Vermilion Face White Bone Puppet to Class A."
"To clarify, Class A is the highest rating for our disciples under the same conditions."
"The Observatory Master, after refining her first puppet, improved all three ratings of that puppet to Class A within one day."
"She looks forward to Su Yuan’s performance, so she permits you to observe everything Su Yuan does in the next three stages."
After the puppet woman finished speaking, her eyes, completely like those of an ordinary person, directly projected a clear image.
Displayed was all of Su Yuan’s actions after entering the Sixth Ring, as if shot right in front of his face.
Chen Nuoyi and others watched Su Yuan in the image with both worry and anticipation.
Could he enhance all three attributes of the Human Puppet to Class A in the time left?
Normally, it would take months or even years of study to achieve this.
So what kind of spectacular moves would Su Yuan pull off next?
......End......
