Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 326 - 270: Su Yuan: I Found This!

"Moreover, given Qi Hanyan’s intelligence, her teaching ability is certainly not great. I can only repeatedly exploit her, using her as material to refine the Human Pill and experience the Dao Seed."

"Perhaps by the time I have mastered my studies, the disciple you’ve painstakingly found will have been thoroughly drained and broken by me."

At this point, Su Yuan’s mouth curled into a cold smile as he stared into the increasingly fearful expression of Feng Wuya, speaking slowly:

"If Qi Hanyan breaks, that’s on you."

"It’s because you’re stubborn, because you’re incompetent, because you can’t protect your disciple."

Although most of these words were made up by Su Yuan to scare people, Feng Wuya believed them.

Or rather, he dared not disbelieve.

Having spent his life fighting demons, Feng Wuya had seen many demon lords.

Yet even with all his experiences, demon lords that could rival Su Yuan were exceedingly rare.

Let alone the fact that even his disciple, and himself, had been subdued by Su Yuan, left at his mercy.

In such a despairing situation, did he have a choice?

Obviously, he did not.

After a long silence, Feng Wuya finally lowered his head as if resigning to his fate, and the older man gritted his teeth and said:

"I can teach you, but my Boundless Dao Seed is filled with righteous principles. As a demon lord, if you can’t comprehend it, you are unlikely to learn it."

"If you fail to learn it, you must not make things difficult for me and Qi Hanyan."

Seeing Feng Wuya finally relent, Su Yuan smiled and readily agreed to these conditions.

As for what to do if he couldn’t learn it?

Heh, under normal circumstances, Su Yuan might indeed be unable to master the Boundless Dao Seed, as the foundation of this divine technique was pure righteousness, completely different from his path.

But... he had the title of "Demon Lord!"

[Demon Lord: When equipped with this title, comprehension increases by 100% when learning any Demon Dao inheritance.]

Does the Boundless Dao Seed count as a Demon Dao inheritance?

Six hours ago, absolutely not.

But six hours later, it does!

Because the creator of this inheritance has fallen to demonhood! All of his inheritances, regardless of the original intention, are now considered Demon Dao inheritances!

As for how Feng Wuya fell to demonhood?

Does selling one’s soul to Demon Su and serving him count as demonhood?

Does personally sacrificing one’s disciple count as demonhood?

From the moment he began collaborating with Su Yuan, the righteous Sword Cultivator Feng Wuya was already dead, replaced by the Demon Dao Soul Cultivator Feng Wuya.

With the added comprehension boost, why worry about failing to learn the Boundless Dao Seed?

Of course, Su Yuan would never share these details with Feng Wuya to avoid him changing his mind.

After reaching an agreement with Feng Wuya, Su Yuan immediately had him impart the knowledge.

While learning, Su Yuan also led Qi Hanyan back to the Sword Slave army.

Not to slay the Sword Slaves, but to fill his own pockets.

Originally, Su Yuan planned to cleanse the Sword Slaves of their demonic qi and let them rest in peace.

But now Su Yuan changed his mind.

Resting in peace underground would be too wasteful; how about resting inside a Storage Bag instead?

Su Yuan spent nearly ten million to buy a palm-sized pyramid-shaped Storage Magical Treasure from Chi Le’an, with an internal space area close to an ancient palace.

Though it couldn’t accommodate living beings, it contained mountains and water and could serve as a tomb.

Once Su Yuan entombed the fifty thousand Sword Slave army inside the Storage Ring, it would naturally generate a continuous supply of resentful power, stored within the pyramid for use when needed.

Of course, Su Yuan couldn’t just carry a pyramid around all the time—he had no interest in cosplaying King Tota.

On regular days, the pyramid could be placed underground at the Primordial Sect Headquarters, next to the Eight Treasure Merit Pool, where the resentful power and blood aura complement each other perfectly.

Doesn’t this beat burying the Sword Slaves randomly in the ground, only to be eaten clean by snakes, insects, rats, and ants within months?

Anyway, Su Yuan felt this was quite fitting, as long as the school didn’t accuse him of encroaching on school property.

To avoid false accusations, Su the Great Kind Man sneakily stole the Sword Slaves, with the help of Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan, and Xiao Kong, and surprisingly no one noticed.

Including Instructor Zhao, who was remotely observing the military training freshmen.

After Flame River was extinguished and Su Yuan proved he could protect his fellow students, Instructor Zhao eased up a bit.

He occasionally checked the number of freshmen to ensure there were no issues.

As for counting the number of Sword Slaves? Did he have nothing better to do?

The final days of military training quickly ended.

On September 20th, Instructor Zhao appeared before the military training freshmen.

At this time, there were still many new students engaged in fierce battles with the Sword Slave army, their movements relaxed and effortless, skillfully managing every task.

Instructor Zhao even noticed a freshman at the Qi Cultivation Stage, who single-handedly grappled with a Foundation Establishment Sword Slave, and ultimately managed to escape with ease.

Such practical combat capabilities could be directly thrown onto an Otherworld battlefield.

"It seems these twenty days of training have brought significant changes to the new students, not bad."

Instructor Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

The only thing that puzzled him was the number of Sword Slaves.

Nineteen days ago, there were nearly fifty thousand; now, how come there are less than twenty thousand?

Even if there were fifty thousand Qi Cultivation Stage pigs, fifty-nine of his students wouldn’t have been able to slay more than half in twenty days, right?

Did some Sword Slaves perhaps already detach from the main group and return to their original places?

Apart from this, Instructor Zhao couldn’t think of any other explanation.

He wasn’t concerned about the whereabouts of such consumable Sword Slaves. He cleared his throat softly, using Golden Core Magical Power to vibrate the air and direct his voice to every freshman’s ear.

"Military training is over, gather!"

Three minutes later, all the freshman disengaged from combat and lined up in front of Instructor Zhao.

"I’ve seen your performance over these twenty days, and it has been quite impressive."

Instructor Zhao smiled, generously complimenting them:

"There isn’t much more to say, but once you return to school, you can naturally check your respective evaluations."

"Depending on the different evaluations, you’ll receive corresponding academic credit rewards."

At this point, he glanced at Su Yuan:

"You were the most outstanding performer in this military training. As per the agreement, the school will grant you a special reward."

"Your mentor has already taken the reward, and you can directly claim it from him once you’re outside."

Su Yuan nodded continuously, a sense of anticipation bubbling within him.

Once said, Instructor Zhao took the students swiftly, through the Realm Hall doors, back to Evil Extermination University.

Upon reaching the Realm Hall lobby, Su Yuan and his group found two Golden Core Stage teachers already waiting for them.

According to these two Golden Core teachers’ self-introduction, they were the advisors of the Seed classes for the Evil Extermination Department and Sword Dao Department respectively.

Their intention was simple, merely to inform the present freshmen that they have a three-day holiday, and three days later, on September 24th, they should report to their respective classes.

Seed classes, as the name implies, are classes that gather the most important seed students from the department.

Seed classes were not just introduced with Su Yuan’s year but have been customary at Evil Extermination University and even the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

The students of each batch’s Seed class, ninety-nine percent surpass their peers and can rival regular students from higher years.

The fifty-nine military training freshmen present were already predetermined members of the Seed classes in both departments.

Thirty for the Evil Extermination Department, and twenty-nine for the Sword Dao Department.

Once the students from the two Seed classes were added to their respective class groups, the advisors immediately left.

The fresh students were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, spending the next three days to digest all they had gained.

After exchanging goodbyes with Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyan, and Xiao Kong, Su Yuan first notified Taibai Phecda through his phone, then headed straight towards the latter’s office.

Pushing open the door and stepping into the office, the sight greeting Su Yuan was Taibai Phecda’s figure bending over his desk, working.

Having become a Nascent Soul True Monarch, his teacher was far busier than before.

This was inevitable, as during his Golden Core Stage, he could still be carefree and unconcerned, but upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, his responsibilities multiplied.

He was vying for the position of department head and preparing to conquer the world and become a Realm Master, so being busy was no surprise.

On the sofa opposite the desk, Taibai Yuxi was languidly tying knots on Bai Ling.

Seeing Su Yuan appear, the white-haired Lolita swiftly stood up.

"Brother Su Yuan! You’re finally back!"

Her bright golden eyes stared at Su Yuan with some surprise:

"Brother Su Yuan, you’ve changed so much over the past twenty days, as if you’ve been carrying a Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood."

Su Yuan: "..."

Very accurately guessed, next time, don’t guess.

He stepped forward, gently ruffled Taibai Yuxi’s little head, providing a little comfort before coming to Taibai Phecda.

"Teacher, where’s the reward?"

Su Yuan wasn’t at all reserved, eagerly asking with shining eyes.

Without lifting his head, Taibai Phecda casually pushed a wooden box across the desk to Su Yuan.

"See for yourself; this is one of the spoils the sect acquired from a Nascent Soul Demon who survived till the Spiritual Energy Revival era. I think it’s quite suitable for you."
