Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 330 - 274: Lord Evil Extermination Descends Upon the Earth and Wood Department!
After listening to True Monarch Yang Hao’s detailed introduction about hidden points, a strong thought immediately surged within Su Yuan.
He must secure the hidden points!
A person’s ambition grows with their own development.
When Su Yuan was just an ordinary orphan high school student, he thought that getting into a university and finding a stable job would be enough.
When Su Yuan acquired the system and his high school scores soared, he dreamed of entering one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects and becoming a high-ranking official in the sect.
When he established the Primordial Sect, apprenticed under Taibai Phecda, and became first in the preparatory class, his ambition extended towards the defense line of the Realm Master.
And now, an even grander and brighter future suddenly lay before Su Yuan, and he naturally wanted to seize it firmly!
That’s an opportunity to learn the Divinity Transformation Inheritance, a realm that almost all cultivators of the Blue Star Federation worship and admire.
Even if the chance is slim, it must absolutely not be missed.
Everything will start from the hidden points!
Su Yuan suppressed his inner excitement and earnestly asked:
"Teacher Yang, may I ask how many hidden points can be gained from the joint monthly exam with the second-year students?"
Chi Le’an and Qi Hanyan didn’t speak, but their eyes were also searching, wanting to know the answer to this question.
True Monarch Yang Hao calmly replied:
"There are thirty-three people in the Evil Extermination Department’s second-year seed class, adding you makes thirty-six."
"And among these thirty-six people, only the top ten can earn hidden points."
"The tenth place gets one point, the ninth place gets two points, and so on, the first place can directly get ten hidden points."
"Although there are opportunities to earn hidden points during college life beyond the monthly exams, they are definitely not many."
"Moreover, any project where hidden points can be earned is extremely difficult, so you must take next month’s exam seriously."
Upon receiving this answer, the hearts of Su Yuan and the others sank involuntarily.
Even the first place can only get ten hidden points?
Evil Extermination University’s combined winter and summer vacations are about three months, meaning there are only about nine monthly exams.
Even if you get first in the joint exam with the second-year students every month, it’s absolutely impossible to accrue one hundred hidden points before the first year ends.
And if you just barely make it into the top ten, gaining only one or two points per exam, one hundred hidden points becomes a monumental and despairing goal.
This alone shows how precious hidden points truly are.
"Ugh, it’s too difficult, maybe it’s better to just give up."
Qi Hanyan immediately wanted to give up, trying to humor her way out.
But in the next second, the cold eyes of True Monarch Yang Hao and Su Yuan fell upon her, scaring her into shrinking back, quickly adding:
"I was just joking..."
True Monarch Yang Hao didn’t dwell much on the antics of this mischievous character, only speaking sternly:
"Among the freshmen of your cohort, you three are indeed excellent, but compared to the second-year freshmen who have been furthering their studies at Evil Extermination University for one year, you still lack some training."
"Let me share a statistic: the Evil Extermination Department’s second-year seed class has all reached Foundation Establishment, and nearly one-third of the geniuses have established with the Immortal Spirit Root."
"This near one-third, which is ten geniuses, occupy the top ten in the second-year seed class."
"Even the weakest in terms of overall level, the tenth place, has reached Foundation Establishment Third Layer and has some accomplishments in a Foundation Establishment Level Swordsmanship."
"Therefore, you three must not be overly ambitious; if any of you can reach the top eight, top nine, or even just the tenth place in this joint exam, it would already be an excellent result."
"The tenth place..."
Su Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly.
He initially aimed for first place in the monthly exam.
But True Monarch Yang Hao, knowing their capabilities, only gave such a conservative prediction of the results.
This can only mean... the second-year seed class geniuses are indeed very strong.
Yet even realizing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but ask:
"Teacher Yang, may I ask who is currently the first in the second-year seed class? What is their strength data?"
True Monarch Yang Hao seemed to have anticipated Su Yuan’s question and slowly said:
"The first in the second-year seed class, like Chi Le’an during their freshman year, is a prodigy named Qiu Tianze, titled Celestial Moisture Saint Son."
"As for his achievements... he comprehended the first stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance during the summer break and has now mastered it."
"In comparison, the second and third places also accumulated enough hidden points during their first year but are still far from comprehending the first stage of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance."
"As for his current specific strength, I can’t say for sure, but he can undoubtedly crush the three of you."
"In a month, he will only be stronger."
Su Yuan: "..."
Following True Monarch Yang Hao’s earlier prelude about the Divinity Transformation Inheritance, Su Yuan had already regarded it as some kind of legend.
And yet next month, among the opponents he faces, there’s someone who has mastered part of the Divinity Transformation Inheritance?
Right now, the numbers are directly materializing!
A total loss of ten hidden points!
However, although the enemy is indeed very strong, Su Yuan didn’t retreat like Qi Hanyan.
He’s a cheat user, why fear a genius?
You could say that this kind of unexpected comeback script is the traditional style of a king’s journey!
Let’s get fired up!
Then, True Monarch Yang Hao officially began the lesson.
Due to each student selecting different sword techniques, True Monarch Yang Hao focused this class on some fundamentals of Sword Dao.
If the Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship, Celestial Heart Swordsmanship, and Celestial Extreme Swordsmanship are like advanced math problems, then the essence of Sword Dao that True Monarch Yang Hao described is like the overall outline of mathematics—the foundation of all sword techniques.
This Nascent Soul True Monarch, who is nearly sixty years old and has spent half of his life researching Sword Dao, naturally possesses exceptional teaching skills.
His explanations were deep yet simple, greatly benefiting Su Yuan and the others.
As for the novel trope of making things difficult for a rival’s disciple, it was completely absent.
Both True Monarchs were indeed openly competing for the department’s vice-director position, but prior to becoming a vice-director, an essential quality was teaching integrity.
Clearly, True Monarch Yang Hao had no issues with teaching integrity.
If Su Yuan had to point out any shortcoming of this class, it would be one thing—True Monarch Yang Hao was too righteous.
Whether in fact or in the judgment of the absurd system, he was unquestionably a Righteous Cultivator.
The Demon Lord’s title and other methods to enhance learning abilities were of no use.
Only by relying on Feng Wuya to break down a large amount of Sword Dao knowledge and explain it to him could Su Yuan keep up with the learning pace of top geniuses.
Fortunately, he didn’t only study True Monarch Yang Hao’s course.
Things would get better once Taibai Phecda started teaching!
Time passed, and before they knew it, the morning was over.
The first class by True Monarch Yang Hao ended, and he left in a graceful manner.
It was exactly twelve o’clock.
Next was an hour and a half lunch break, followed by a ninety-minute Spiritual Language Class in the afternoon, with the remaining time free to use as desired.
This was the teaching style of Evil Extermination University, preferring to give students more free time rather than forcing them to study.
This time could be used for cultivation, socializing, or even starting a business venture outside.
As long as there was substantial improvement and timely exams were passed.
After all, as the saying goes—don’t see the university as merely a school, but see it as a microcosm of reality.
During university, one should prioritize preparing for real life over strict study.
Connections, skills, resources... there is no better time to acquire these than during university.
This applies in a Demonless Society as well as in the Cultivation World.
During lunch, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi met in the cafeteria to eat and discussed their experiences from their first class.
In their conversation, Su Yuan learned that the faculty strength of the First-Year Seed Class in the Sword Dao Department was not inferior to that of the Evil Extermination Department’s First-Year Seed Class at all.
It seems that to compete with the latter, two Nascent Soul Stage vice-directors from the Sword Dao Department personally took charge, each responsible for two main courses.
Looking at it this way, the faculty strength of the Sword Dao Department Seed Class was actually a notch higher.
Chen Nuoyi’s first class was also a Sword Dao course, and she chose the Foundation Establishment Swordsmanship named Golden Emperor Swordsmanship.
This swordsmanship integrates the Path of Geng Metal and allows cultivators to develop the Emperor’s Might, said to be the National Swordsmanship of a certain Cultivation Dynasty from the Ancient Era.
With Chen Nuoyi carrying the Dragon King Bloodline, she already had a bit of Royal Qi, which complemented the Golden Emperor Swordsmanship.
After nurturing the Emperor’s Might, it might even accelerate the awakening of the Dragon King Bloodline.
But... thinking about how Chen Nuoyi would become more imposing in the future, Su Yuan couldn’t help but worry a bit.
Question: My vice sect leader looks more like a sect leader than I do, exuding royal aura daily and seems like subordinates will crown her in a Yellow Robe at any moment. What should I do as the sect leader?
The position within the sect is unstable!
Waiting online, it’s quite urgent.
Of course, this was just Su Yuan’s wild imagination, he was confident that Chen Nuoyi would never plot for power.
If it really doesn’t work out, find a reason to let her be sect leader for a day to indulge her.
After the meal, the two went back to their respective classes.
After the Spiritual Language Class ended, Su Yuan contacted the advisor to find out the storage location of Celestial Spirit and Earthly Fiend Qi.
After obtaining authorization, he hurried to the destination.
The joint exam is pressing, and he urgently needs to master the Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship, Heaven-Defying Secret Realm, and Earth Passage Secret Realm together.
Not to mention aiming for first in the monthly exam, Su Yuan was certainly prepared to compete strongly for the second place.
The most remote and desolate faculty of Evil Extermination University City was the location of the Earth and Wood Department.
In Evil Extermination University, which primarily focuses on Sword Dao, the Earth and Wood Department was undoubtedly one of the fringe faculties, considered a college among the Top Ten.
Of course, no matter how remote and bleak the Earth and Wood Department was, it was still part of one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
Whether it was teaching facilities or faculty strength, they surpassed some of the top 100 universities in the Federation with a primary focus on earth and wood studies.
For instance, the Nascent Soul Level Spiritual Treasure, Jianmu Divine Needle.
Although called a divine needle, this spiritual treasure is essentially a massive wooden pillar with a diameter of a hundred meters and no branches.
However, compared to its length which pierces upward through the nine heavens and down into the nine netherworlds, a mere hundred meters in diameter does, from afar, indeed resemble a needle.
The function of the Jianmu Divine Needle is simple: to continuously extract Celestial Spirit and Earth Evil Power, serving as construction material for the earth and wood industry.
All Earth and Wood Department students above the second year went out for work-study programs, so currently, only first-year freshmen were on campus.
An unexpected visitor quietly arrived as well.
