Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 379 - 316: Examiner! Long Bai!

"Test subject, who do you choose as your Guardian?"

Facing this question, Chen Nuoyi naturally stood by Su Yuan’s side without hesitation.

Long Bai glanced at Su Yuan, and her favorability towards him decreased by another 5 points.

Then, after she asked for the two people’s names, she said with a blank expression:

"Chen Nuoyi is the test subject, Su Yuan is the Guardian. Everyone else, remain here and do not approach the assessment area by even half a step."

"If anyone dares to overstep, they will be killed without mercy!"

The hearts of the tested duo tightened, and they nodded towards Wu Luo True Monarch and Qi Hanyan, indicating that they need not worry.

As the two were about to head to the assessment area, Wu Luo True Monarch quickly stepped forward.

She placed one hand on Su Yuan’s shoulder and the other directly pulled Chen Nuoyi into her embrace, giving a fierce rub on the face.

Then, the red-haired lady transmitted her serious voice:

"Once you’re in the Land of Inheritance, be cautious in everything."

"If things go awry, I will utterly destroy this world, foregoing the Divinity Transformation Inheritance, to save the two of you."

"So there’s no need to worry, I will be watching over you both the entire time."

Hearing this, Su Yuan felt a warmth in his heart.

Although Wu Luo True Monarch often looked at him with murderous intent, when it came down to the crunch, she was indeed concerned about him.

However, it’s also possible that he’s just a tagalong, and the main focus is on protecting Chen Nuoyi.

Regardless, having such assurance from a Nascent Soul Peak powerhouse, he can go all out in this inheritance assessment!

The two followed Long Bai’s figure, riding their respective Flying Swords toward the massive Dragon Corpse.

During their journey, the progress of the system task appeared in the corner of Su Yuan’s vision.

It was a route map, with the destination being the bedroom of Long Bai as determined by the system.

The closer he got to the Dragon Corpse, the closer he got to Long Bai’s bedroom.

But after a bit of calculation on the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the task map, Su Yuan was surprised to find that the position of the Dragon Palace bedroom was not beneath the Dragon Corpse.

Instead, it was inside the Dragon Corpse!

Could it be that even though the system’s judgment on time has a bug, this route map has been updated in real time, locking in the current position of the bedroom?

One must know, although this realm is filled with ruins, the Dragon Palace did not vanish into thin air but was refined into Long Bai’s dragon body by the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable.

Perhaps somewhere within this massive dragon body, the bedroom still exists in its original form.

Su Yuan carefully examined the route map once more and found that the stealth route became zigzagged and the vertical route had a significant drop upon connecting with the Dragon Corpse.

This was evidently a route map traveling inside the Dragon Corpse’s body.

After discovering this information, Su Yuan was quite satisfied.

This system, although it has quite a few bugs, is indeed practical when needed!

While studying the map and rushing along the way, it took less than ten minutes for Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi to arrive at the start of the inheritance area.

They stood atop the Dragon Corpse’s head.

Or more accurately, within the Dragon Corpse’s mouth.

Coincidentally, on the system map, this was the inevitable path leading to Long Bai’s bedroom.

Standing between the snow-white clean gaps of dragon’s teeth, Su Yuan looked into the mouth of the Dragon Corpse.

There wasn’t the expected stench or blood-red mucous membrane inside.

On the contrary, it was glittering with jewels.

The interior mouth and tongue seemed to be crafted from translucent red jade, with an entire row of fist-sized Luminous Pearls embedded along the sides for lighting.

Though it wasn’t as bright as daylight, one could still clearly see the scenery inside the Dragon Corpse.

Following the glow of the Luminous Pearls, looking towards the throat of the Dragon Corpse, it was an extremely wide space capable of accommodating hundreds of people walking side by side.

Rather than an internal structure of flesh and blood, it was more like an extraordinarily luxurious square passageway.

"Following this passage, you will encounter the first stage of the inheritance assessment."

"The inheritance assessment consists of four stages. The last test subject only held up until the second stage before retreating, leaving with only partial Dragon Blood."

"This time, I hope you can last a bit longer."

Long Bai’s cold voice resounded.

Gazing upon her former body, the ice-haired Lolita’s icy blue eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi exchanged glances and solemnly walked into the dragon’s mouth, heading to its throat’s depths.

After walking for an unknown length, a massive stone tablet appeared before them.

The tablet had two mighty and vigorous Spiritual Runes inscribed on it.

[Human, Demon]

These inexplicable words stirred a deep confusion in their hearts.

What specifically does this stage test?

Fortunately, Long Bai provided an explanation:

"The first stage of the inheritance assessment is a test of the test subject’s Dao Heart and beliefs."

"The Purple Gold Dragon Venerable must understand the test subject’s views on the Human and Demon races to decide whether to grant the inheritance."

"The assessment method is simple: answer the following three questions, and those who answer correctly can advance to the next stage and receive a passing reward."

"The test subject may discuss with their Guardian during the questioning period."

With that said, Long Bai waved her little hand, and a new line of Spiritual Runes appeared on the stone tablet.

Question: After a battle between a Human Race Cultivator and a member of the Demon Race, both parties are gravely injured and near death. Whom would you save?

Note: The survival rate after saving the Human Race Cultivator is ten percent, while the Demon Race member has a survival rate of ninety percent if saved.

As the question unfolded, two figures, one human and one demon, appeared before them, both on the brink of death.

Both are only at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation level. One is an ordinary, bloodied middle-aged Cultivator, and the other is a wounded, ten-foot-long venomous snake.

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

In a Demon Race inheritance, scientifically speaking, the right answer should lean toward the Demon Race, right?

But the Purple Gold Dragon Venerable is known for being fond of the Human Race, so it should be to save the Human Race.

However, the Human Race’s surviving rate post-treatment is only ten percent; based on probability alone, it should be to choose the Demon, who has a stronger Life Force.

This question is indeed complicated.

"Su Yuan... I want to save the human."

After some contemplation, seeing the human and demon phantoms growing weaker, Chen Nuoyi gritted her teeth and made up her mind, seeking Su Yuan’s opinion.

Su Yuan, of course, agreed.

But this clearly appears to be a hands-on task, and a ten percent success rate for rescue is very low. If the rescue fails, it will definitely be judged as a defeat.

Will they really gamble on that one-tenth success rate?

It would be great to know the examiner’s specific evaluation criteria.

Su Yuan couldn’t help but think so.

And it was at this moment that an advantage flashed in his mind.

Perhaps, he truly might have the means to discern the examiner’s inner thoughts!

As for how to discern the examiner’s thoughts? Actually, it’s simple, just using Demon Technique·Finger Beast!

Previously, his failure in using Demon Technique·Finger Beast on Long Bai was likely because the other party only had a Spirit Body.

But now, he was inside her physical body; if he could simultaneously activate Demon Technique·Finger Beast on both the physical body and Spiritual Body, there might be a chance of success!

If successful, through Demon Technique·Finger Beast, he could unilaterally learn Long Bai’s inner thoughts.

By then, wouldn’t a mere question be within his grasp?

Even if Demon Technique·Finger Beast fails, it’s no big deal. At worst, they’d follow their initial plan in choosing.

With time pressing, Su Yuan immediately began his attempt.
