Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 73: This Guy Is Supposed to Be a Hero?
"Hey buddy, don’t you know in our era, personal strength is secondary; magical treasures and flying swords are the key to determining victory?"
Su Yuan patted Jin Hao’s shoulder with the Chi Yuan Sword, somewhat speechless:
"Are you always this brave?"
Glancing at the Chi Yuan Sword with its sinister evil qi, occasionally licking his neck with a blood-colored sword light, Jin Hao nervously swallowed his saliva, wanting to cry but having no tears!
Who said he hadn’t investigated Su Yuan’s background? Isn’t he just a poor kid working part-time jobs to make ends meet?
Not only does he live in a shared rental, but he also begs for money in livestreams every day.
The only special thing about him is that he earned a little pocket money with his great roast meat skills, nothing more.
How could culinary skills have any relation to fighting?
To someone like Jin Hao, a second-generation rich kid, could what Su Yuan earned from livestreaming even be considered money?
No matter how you look at it, Su Yuan seems unremarkable.
Yet who would have thought such a harmless pauper would wield such a ridiculously strong Spirit Sword!
"Brother Su Yuan, I’m just following orders, doing what I’m told!"
"I hope you, Brother Yuan, can be the bigger person and not act impulsively. Put the sword away first."
Jin Hao conceded defeat decisively, speaking earnestly with a forced smile.
Su Yuan retrieved the Chi Yuan Sword from the other’s shoulder, but still held it in his hand as a precaution, coldly asking:
"Your big brother wants to assert dominance, huh? Is his method of doing so by beating me up?"
Jin Hao paused, cautiously asking:
"Otherwise?"
Su Yuan was speechless: "No benefits?"
Jin Hao was still confused: "What benefits?"
Su Yuan: "Duh, who would acknowledge him as a big brother without benefits!"
After a pause, Su Yuan’s gaze turned sharp again, placing the sword back at Jin Hao’s neck:
"I see! After all this, you’ve been skimming off the benefits your big brother gave me, haven’t you?"
Jin Hao: "..."
Is this the protagonist?
Shouldn’t I be the villain in this plot?
After a long silence, Jin Hao said with a bitter face:
"Brother Su Yuan, there’s really no kickback!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"Then why don’t you go cool off somewhere? I’m telling you, I and that so-called big brother of yours are irreconcilable enemies!"
Su Yuan immediately turned righteous and dignified.
Under Jin Hao’s terrified gaze, Su Yuan pulled out one blue and one yellow pill, shoving them directly into his mouth.
The tall, strong young man immediately curled up in pain on the ground, his body visibly slimming down in real-time.
Su Yuan stepped on the Chi Yuan Sword and swaggered off.
If he stayed any longer, he’d fear he couldn’t control the Chi Yuan Sword’s bloodthirsty desires and might really chop Jin Hao down.
On his way to school, Su Yuan couldn’t help but worry a bit.
He was threatened by a master of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer—what would happen to Chen Nuoyi and Wu Xingqi, who would also enter the Special Advancement Class?
Would they be similarly threatened or lured by foreign transfer students like Jin Hao?
He didn’t dare delay, rushing to school to check on the situation in class as fast as he could.
It was break time after the first period, and the topic of discussion among the classmates unusually unanimous—all about the transfer students.
Su Yuan quickly glanced toward Chen Nuoyi and saw the girl sitting calmly at her desk, seemingly unchanged.
But Su Yuan noticed right away that Chen Nuoyi was injured.
"Class President, what happened to your forehead? Was it those transfer students?"
Su Yuan looked at the fingertip-sized red mark on her forehead and asked worriedly.
Even though such a small mark would probably heal faster than she could get to a hospital, a wound is a wound!
Chen Nuoyi lightly shook her head:
"No, it was my dad who hit me with a beer can."
"Although a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer transfer student did block my door, I already sent him to the hospital; I’m guessing he won’t leave the ICU for three or five days."
Su Yuan: "..."
He turned his head to look at Wu Xingqi, Chen Nuoyi’s deskmate, "Did those transfer students come looking for you?"
"Oh wow, I didn’t know Section Chief Su was so concerned about me. Are you worried I’d run off with those yellow-haired transfer students?"
Wu Xingqi asked with a teasing grin.
But under Su Yuan’s serious gaze, the girl had to put away her playful smile, sticking out her tongue:
"I did meet them, but I felt the guy was a bit dumb. I just bluffed a couple of lines, and she very domineeringly bought out all the goods in my family’s shop."
Su Yuan: "..."
Click! Why didn’t I encounter such luck?
If that punk Jin Hao had some situational awareness and handed me a few thousand bucks as tribute, would I have needed to use a four-thousand-yuan pill to teach him a lesson?
Returning to his seat, Su Yuan glanced at Chu Lanxi, who was equally unscathed.
Among all his friends, Su Yuan worried least about Chu Lanxi because the latter was somewhat mysterious.
Unclear family background, limitless funds, consistently ranking in the top five of the class, and secretly running a Demon Sect.
Moreover, Su Yuan suspected that Chu Lanxi’s businesses were more than just the Honey Peach Oolong Sect; there were likely others he didn’t know about.
Such a mysteriously strong individual couldn’t possibly be bullied by any random transfer student.
However, the unscathed situation in Class 2 was clearly an exception.
From the discussions among classmates, Su Yuan learned that the seed students in the other seven senior classes had more or less dealt with threats from transfer students.
The number of transfer students totaled eight, with an expected new addition to each senior class today.
It can only be said that they are not coming with good intentions!
Time moved to the afternoon. After Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi finished selling roast goose in the cafeteria and returned just before class started, their advisor Yue Lin entered the classroom with a young man.
The moment he entered, the entire class couldn’t help but be drawn to him.
The newcomer was a handsome young man with a cold and arrogant demeanor.
Besides his impressive appearance, the open display of his cultivation was the most attention-grabbing aspect.
Peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer!
"Has combat power inflated so rapidly? I’m only at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer."
Su Yuan couldn’t help rolling his eyes, muttering to himself.
Without a doubt, this must be the big brother Jin Hao mentioned.
I wonder if he’ll act like a brainless villain and come looking for trouble.
At the front, Yue Lin cleared his throat and said:
"Meet our class’s new transfer student, Xiao Kong. Please, Xiao Kong, introduce yourself."
The eyes of Class 2 turned to Xiao Kong, and the aloof young man coldly said:
"I transferred here to study under Master Taibai; I have nothing to say to you."
What an arrogant guy!
Many students had this thought pop into their minds, but looking at his peak Qi Cultivation, the students of Class 2 ultimately said nothing.
Xiao Kong’s gaze swept over Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and Wu Xingqi, continuing:
"There are a few people in this class barely worthy of being my classmates."
"I look forward to seeing your performances in the Special Advancement Class’s trial exam."
With that, Xiao Kong said no more, striding to a seat near the window at the back of the classroom, looking out at the scenery.
