Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 285 - 234: The Body Devil Finger Has Also Improved, It Can Stop Time Now

[The initial effect limit of Demon Technique·Finger Body has increased.]

[New effect added to Demon Technique·Finger Body: Preheat.]

[Preheat: Allows the temporary storage of all negative sensations experienced by the user, with a maximum storage time of seven days. By the end of the seventh day, the stored negative sensations must be transferred to a target using Demon Technique·Finger Body.]

[Once the Demon Technique·Finger Body is successfully activated, the target will experience all the negative sensations the user has accumulated over the past week in an instant.]

[Note: Demon Technique·Finger Body can only be used on cultivators of the same or lower realm and only when there are no physical obstacles between the target and the user.]

Preheat?

Seeing this new effect, Su Yuan couldn't help but think of certain time-stopping films.

During the time stop, no matter what happens to the female character, she remains unchanged.

But as soon as the time stop ends, all the sensations the female character endured burst out instantaneously, sending her into ecstasy.

Although "Preheat" has some differences from time stop, there's a certain similarity in accumulating negative sensations and releasing them in one burst!

Su Yuan could already imagine the utility of this technique in combat.

He would routinely use Abyssal Spiritual Power to enhance body sensitivity, storing these negative sensations.

Then, in the heat of battle, he'd unexpectedly unleash Demon Technique·Finger Body, bombarding the enemy with sensory overload!

Whether the opponent faints from ecstasy or becomes momentarily disoriented, the battle would surely turn in Su Yuan's favor, leading to an easy victory.

Of course, in a law-governed society, there aren't that many opportunities for combat.

But even without considering these sneaky tactics, the Preheat effect could allow Su Yuan to store up negative sensations accumulated during cultivation and release them at a later time.

With college coming up, Wu Ziying can't be at his side all the time as a sacrifice for Demon Technique·Finger Body.

During the times Wu Ziying isn't around, he'll just have to hold it in.

Su Yuan remembered that Wu Ziying's desired college was True Martial Saint Sect, planning to specialize in sports and martial arts.

Her future career plan is to be a Secret Realm Explorer, a dangerous yet very lucrative job.

The Ten Great Immortal Sects have closely tied roots, and the University City is built in the same area, allowing for frequent communication and exchanges.

This means that after going to college, seeing Wu Ziying every few days shouldn't be a problem.

When they meet, he can then release all the accumulated sensations onto her.

This Innate Sports Sacred Body... cough, should be able to withstand it.

In any case, Su Yuan was very satisfied with the new effect of Demon Technique·Finger Body.

After closing the system panel and greeting Zhu Tianqing, he left with Yin Qiyue.

In the following days, Zhu Tianqing, true to her word, began promoting a new ideology of equality between humans and monsters.

At the same time this ideology was announced, meat processing businesses, farms, and other parties in the meat industry quickly resumed production, having received early notice.

The Primordial Sect was naturally among them.

Thanks to the revolutionary bonds formed with many meat product businesses during the meat ban, the cost of raw materials involving flesh greatly decreased.

Moreover, due to Zhu Tianqing's promotional efforts, Taihua City actually saw spirit pets running rideshare services and working as laborers moving bricks.

Though rare, the spark of this trend could set the whole industry ablaze.

Perhaps someday, the era of working beasts will truly arrive.

These changes were met with universal cheer and excitement throughout Taihua City.

However, on the Spiritual Net, Zhu Tianqing's reputation rapidly reversed at a terrifying speed.

She went from a spiritual leader for pet lovers to a notorious pet abuser!

Truth be told, the Spiritual Net is full of all kinds of people, what proportion of them could be residents of Taihua City?

Thus, when Zhu Tianqing initially went to Taihua City to promote the human-monster equality ideology, her followers and well-informed pet lovers fully supported her.

Even though Taihua City became murky and chaotic, those unaffected on the Spiritual Net still believed Zhu Tianqing did the right thing.

After all, the only data they saw online was the significant reduction in per capita meat consumption in Taihua City.

At first glance, isn't that a good thing?

Therefore, when Zhu Tianqing's stance took a 180-degree turn, pet lovers were shocked, even suspecting Zhu Tianqing had been possessed.

But who in the world could possess the daughter of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?

There must be another reason.

The pet lovers dug deeper and soon found out about an event that occurred just before her ideological shift.

She! The Celestial Hunting Saintess! Had joined the 18+ rated Demon Sect, the Primordial Sect!

And she's one of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, holding a highly esteemed position within the sect!

The pet lovers believed they had uncovered the truth!

The fault wasn't with the Celestial Hunting Saintess, but with Taihua City's largest local Demon Sect, the Primordial Sect!

The Saintess must have been secretly plotted against by the Primordial Sect, coerced with some leverage, and after enduring unimaginable torment, forced to submit to the sect!

What nonsense of a new human-monster equality ideology, it must have been Sect Leader Su Yuan who forced the Saintess to propagate it!

As for evidence?

Su Yuan often accompanies the Saintess, even under the guise of an ambassador for human-monster equality. Isn't that the most direct evidence?

Su Yuan must have first gained the Saintess's trust and then, when no one was around, used methods like drugging, mind control, and physical modification to enslave the Saintess!

Demon Refining True Monarch not immediately coming forward to rescue his daughter must also have been due to some form of threat.

For example, "Senior Zhu, you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to your daughter!" That sounds exactly like something Su Yuan would say!

Suddenly, many people either privately messaged or commented to Zhu Tianqing things like "Saintess, if you're being threatened, just blink."

Moreover, pet lovers, and even fans of the Celestial Hunting Saintess's beauty, turned their attention to bombarding Su Yuan and the Primordial Sect.

In response, Su Yuan could only say... infamy is still fame.

Insult all you want.

While you're criticizing me, isn't my account and the Primordial Sect's fame rising?

What's the problem with a bad reputation?

Don't you want to buy products like mind control drugs or physical modification?

Officially criticized, but secretly… humph!

Of course, such businesses certainly can't be openly conducted.

Even if sold secretly, Su Yuan couldn't really sell those products that harm ordinary people.

At most, just some small magical treasures or elixirs labeled as Saintess replicas or Saintess items.

Meanwhile, as business was booming between Taihua City and the Primordial Sect, the Blue Star Federation finally welcomed the new year's high school entrance exams.

On June 7th, Recovery Calendar year 380, Su Yuan and other local Taihua City students participated in the entrance exam within the city.

The other students from the Preparatory Class, of course, returned to their original hometowns to participate in the exams.

As of today, all nine students from Taihua City who were part of the Preparatory Class have successfully established their Foundation.

Theoretically, they don't meet the regulations of the entrance exams.

But is standard Foundation Establishment the same as a subpar one?

Non-compliance with regulations?

Then just change the regulations.

Thus, through some restricting magical treasures, all nine suppressed their cultivation and physical strength back to their Qi Cultivation Peak level and officially participated.

As for the results, there's nothing much to say; they all scored 750.

They've already lowered themselves to this level; even a one-point deduction in the exams would be shameful.

As for ranking, Taibai Phecda, who was invited to be the chief examiner, naturally used his Potential Index system to separately evaluate and rank Su Yuan and the other eight Foundation Establishment candidates.

Su Yuan unsurprisingly took the top scholar position.

The runner-up was Chen Nuoyi, with Li Zhengxing as the third place.

The other six ranked in order: Xiao Meng, Chu Lanxi, Xiao Kong, Wu Ziying, Cloud Spirit, and Yin Qiyue.

Excluding the nine, if ranking the top ten students of Taihua City normally, Taihua High School's Wu Xingqi and Zhang Jun also made it into the top ten, with potential admission into the Top Ten schools.

Other Special Advancement Class students from Taihua High School also mostly made it into the top hundred of the entrance exams.

Undoubtedly, Taibai Phecda fulfilled his initial promise.

The school, naturally, didn't renege on their agreement, refunding tuition as promised.

Even giving Su Yuan a tenfold rebate as agreed.

For this, Principal Zhang Youde didn't feel a bit distressed.

After all, with Su Yuan's status as the city's top scholar and Blue Star Federation's strongest high school student being publicized, Taihua High School was bound to profit greatly.
