Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 352 - 293: Something More Important Than Making Money!
"It seems, in the end, your skills are superior."
Feeling the uncontrolled spiritual power within his body, Qiu Tianze smiled bitterly.
Not only could he not mobilize his spiritual power, but he also had to face the backlash of the Blood Corruption Sword.
Without suppressing this sword with spiritual power, it would relentlessly extract the sword master’s blood essence.
Just like now, as he finished speaking, Qiu Tianze’s cheeks sank further.
Su Yuan did not reply but took the opportunity to thrust the Chi Yuan Sword into the realm of spiritual void, turning the slash into a slap, causing the heavy blade to strike Qiu Tianze.
The latter, unable to resist, was sent flying like a cannonball, off the stage.
This battle ended with Su Yuan’s victory.
The victory came so swiftly that the audience, engrossed in the bloody duel moments ago, didn’t react in time.
It was only when the referee announced Su Yuan’s victory that the audience came back to their senses.
First, there was silence in the stands, then a burst of astonishment arose.
Amidst the uproar, there were all sorts of comments, some amazed by Qiu Tianze’s defeat, others marveling at Su Yuan’s mysterious means, and some questioning whether Su Yuan’s use of so much external force was against the rules.
The referee naturally had to respond to some of the questions.
The referee stated that the external force methods used by Su Yuan were all created by himself and did not violate the rules, which gradually calmed the doubts.
However, the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the stands remained silent.
True Monarch Yang Hao’s mood was naturally complicated.
Although Su Yuan’s demonstration of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea was bizarre, it didn’t overshadow Su Yuan’s excellence.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the ability related to the Blood Sea was tailor-made as a supporting method for the Blood Corruption Sword.
No one was more suited to cultivate this Divinity Transformation Inheritance than Su Yuan.
As for Su Yuan’s seemingly low moral standards?
Maybe it used to be a stain, but judging by the recent actions of the sect’s upper echelon, students with flexible moral boundaries might even be seen as an asset.
Considering that the Divinity Transformation Inheritance consists entirely of demonic cultivation techniques, so what if Su Yuan is a demon?
After all, he hasn’t broken the law.
In conclusion, Su Yuan’s support for his master, True Monarch Zanyuan, is positive and won’t be a hindrance, meaning True Monarch Zanyuan’s chance of being promoted to deputy director has greatly increased.
How could True Monarch Yang Hao feel happy about this?
"Teacher Taibai, I must say, I really envy you."
True Monarch Yang Hao spoke with genuine emotion.
Taibai Phecda returned a calm smile, exuding a demeanor of high elegance.
But in fact, he was somewhat overwhelmed with sweat.
The audience was captivated by Su Yuan’s victory and peculiarity, yet hadn’t focused on the causes behind the creation of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and the formation of Absolute Heaven and Earth.
Yet he keenly perceived that apart from the Blood Sea, both the Corpse Mountain Secret Realm and the Secret Realm of the Forbidden Heaven seemed to have been forged by Su Yuan by using school resources.
So half of the inexplicably vanished Sword Slaves of the Absolute Sword World were whisked away by you, huh!
So your practice of the Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship was a façade; under its guise, you were significantly extracting the Earthly Fiends and Celestial Spirits for personal gain, right!
You truly are a talent of the school, deserving to be put on the Immortal Execution Platform!
But then again, Su Yuan is his disciple, and he can’t truly denounce him.
It seems he can only report to the department head.
At this thought, Taibai Phecda couldn’t help but shake his head, only feeling that this student, Su Yuan, made him both love and hate him.
Below the stage, Su Yuan inserted the Profound Strange Sword into his Dantian, binding it with the Senluo Spirit Root for restraint, punishment, tentacles, taming, and reattached the Tribulation Moon Pearl around his neck as the demonic aura around him gradually receded.
At this time, Qiu Tianze, having regained some mobility, stepped forward, shaking hands with Su Yuan while also helping Su Yuan remove the Power of Blood Corruption from his wounds.
"Su Yuan, in this battle, I admit my defeat wholeheartedly. Let’s have a meal together after the exam, my treat."
Qiu Tianze said earnestly.
"Your treat?"
Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.
Opportunities to freeload off a big spender aren’t abundant.
But then he seemed to remember something, reluctantly shaking his head and said,
"Sorry, I have something to take care of, and I have to go now."
With that, he pulled Pan Yunqing from the loser’s bracket first place to the referee, and after the latter verbally conceded, secured Su Yuan’s absolute position as first in the monthly exam, then hurriedly left.
Thus, the joint monthly exam of the Evil Extermination Department’s first and second-year seed class concluded thoroughly.
The top six, from highest to lowest, were Su Yuan, Qiu Tianze, Pan Yunqing, Chi Le’an, Zhuo Lixin, and Qi Hanyan.
The top six naturally had no objections about their ranking.
As for candidates outside the top six... if they really couldn’t accept their ranking, they could choose to challenge upwards.
But the candidates inside the top six and those outside were completely two different levels.
Even Qi Hanyan, who barely made it to the top six, was beyond the reach of candidates outside the six.
So no matter how much they challenged, the ranking of the top six would basically remain unchanged.
Watching Su Yuan quickly dash out of the Martial Arts Dojo, Qiu Tianze’s brow furrowed slightly, worriedly saying,
"Su Yuan doesn’t want me to treat him... Could he be holding a grudge against me?"
Qi Hanyan, standing nearby, chuckled and said,
"Celestial Moisture Saint Son, you’re overthinking it. Su Yuan is the kind of person who never misses a bargain. Hearing that you want to treat him, he’d love to have you as his best friend forever."
"When he says he’s busy, he truly has something to do."
Qiu Tianze let out a sigh of relief, then curiously asked,
"What could be more important to him than making money?"
"More important than money."
Qi Hanyan smiled mysteriously, clearly having the inside scoop.
Everyone was naturally curious, but no matter how they pressed her, Qi Hanyan kept her lips tightly sealed, leaving everyone itching with curiosity.
It seems that following Su Yuan, this girl had also gone astray, no longer as pure and honest as before.
In the Sword Dao College, the monthly exam between the first and second-year seed class was in full swing.
Following the address sent by Chen Nuoyi, Su Yuan entered the Martial Arts Dojo, the venue for heavyweight examinees of the Sword Dao College.
At the entrance of the Dojo, Xiao Kong awaited there in advance.
He had already finished his own battle, ending up in eighth place in the monthly exam.
"Su Yuan, you came just in time. The final match is about to begin."
Su Yuan quickly asked,
"Who is Nuoyi facing in the final match? Is it the first-ranked Saintess of the second-year seed class?"
Xiao Kong nodded slightly.
Su Yuan smiled and said,
"In that case, Nuoyi is at least guaranteed to take second place."
During the gap between the exams, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi had been communicating the battle results via their phones.
Compared to Su Yuan’s triumphant progress, Chen Nuoyi’s situation was not that favorable.
In the top six battle, she encountered the second-year’s top-ranked Celestial Dusk Saintess, Mu Shouzhen, who had mastered the first phase of the Sword Dao Department’s Divinity Transformation Inheritance.
In that battle, after some probing, Chen Nuoyi decisively conceded in order to preserve her strength.
Now, she’s challenging Mu Shouzhen again as the first from the loser’s bracket.
Su Yuan didn’t dare to delay and quickly entered the Martial Arts Dojo.
In the waiting area, a girl with twin ponytails draped over her shoulders sat stroking the Thousand Gold Sword on her lap.
Hearing the familiar footsteps behind her, her beautiful eyes lit up, turning to look.
Seeing the boy approaching briskly, the girl smiled happily and said,
"You’re here."
