Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 76: Su Yuan Smiles, Life and Death Uncertain!
"Oh! Did he run into Jin Hao, the transfer student at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, right off the bat?"
Seeing the scene of Su Yuan and Jin Hao meeting on the big screen, Taibai Phecda immediately became more interested.
It’s true that Su Yuan has many tricks up his sleeve, but they all require time to develop.
Now, facing a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivator directly without any equipment, even one whose body is severely depleted and can only exert seventy percent of his peak strength, would still give him a headache.
Yue Lin, Li Ziquan, and other second-grade teachers looked worried.
In their view, Su Yuan, their beloved student, still had quite a gap compared to Jin Hao.
Starting off so unlucky, could he end up being last?
In the Taixu Illusion Realm, Su Yuan seriously sized up Jin Hao and suddenly smiled:
"Loser came looking for a beating again. Even though I didn’t bring any secret little medicine pills this time, don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand. If you fall into my hands again, the outcome will be ten times, no, nine times worse than last time!"
"Just a mere Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, what right do you have to act rashly in front of me!"
Jin Hao was furious and didn’t plan on wasting words with Su Yuan as he swung his doorboard giant sword.
The giant sword swung across, slicing through the air and stirring up a sharp wail!
Su Yuan absorbed Jin Hao’s negative emotions to empower himself while narrowing his eyes, neither dodging nor avoiding, lifting the Chi Yuan Sword to strike heavily at the incoming doorboard giant sword!
One side held a three-foot-long sword, the other a doorboard giant sword, and the disparity in strength was apparent; no matter how you looked at it, Su Yuan seemed to be overestimating himself, certain to be defeated.
Even Jin Hao and the school leaders watching outside the illusion realm thought so.
However, at the moment Chi Yuan Sword collided with the doorboard giant sword, an incredibly crisp sound of metal breaking rang out.
The next second, the menacing doorboard giant sword was actually split into two by the Chi Yuan Sword, with the blade flung out, embedding deeply into the ground behind Su Yuan.
"???"
Jin Hao stared at his broken sword in disbelief, his hands numbed by the shock, his eyes widened.
Wasn’t it said that all candidates’ weapons in the Taixu Illusion Realm had the same performance?
What... what’s going on?
As he bewilderedly looked up, Su Yuan was already walking towards him with a smile, holding the Chi Yuan Sword.
Jin Hao swallowed, recalling the fear of having the Chi Yuan Sword pressed against his neck a few days ago!
But suddenly, Jin Hao seemed to have thought of something and excitedly said:
"Su Yuan! Did you cheat? Did you not have your Spirit Sword’s performance limited?"
Su Yuan chuckled, remaining silent as he swung the sword fiercely at Jin Hao.
The Chi Yuan Sword glowed red, like a bloodthirsty red-refined snake, dangerous and magnificent.
Outside the Taixu Illusion Realm, the school leaders exchanged puzzled looks as Su Yuan’s weapon and power stats seemed... overpowered.
Principal Zhang Youde looked at Taibai Phecda, hesitating to speak.
It was clear to everyone last time during the martial arts competition that Taibai Yuxi and Su Yuan had some sort of undisclosed connection. During this assessment, perhaps Su Yuan had some inside help.
Seeing the school leaders’ expressions, Taibai Phecda couldn’t help sighing:
"Su Yuan didn’t cheat just now; he used two methods."
"The first method was already used in the martial arts competition, a combat heart method that absorbs negative emotions to empower oneself, thus gaining the strength to confront Jin Hao head-on."
"The other method is Unity of Man and Sword, allowing the Chi Yuan Sword to exhibit power beyond standard weapons."
The school leaders suddenly understood.
But soon, a teacher discovered the key point.
"Wait a minute, Unity of Man and Sword? Is it the Unity of Man and Sword I think it is?"
Upon hearing this, the school leaders all reacted, quickly turning their gaze back to Su Yuan on the big screen, faces full of astonishment.
Isn’t Unity of Man and Sword one of the Sword Dao Mysteries? It’s said that only sword cultivators who have cultivated their swords for many years and have a psychic connection with their lifebound flying sword have a chance to enter this realm!
Did Su Yuan practice swordsmanship to achieve Unity of Man and Sword?
This sounds even more outrageous than cheating.
For this, Taibai Phecda had no explanation either.
To be honest, he was also shocked by Su Yuan’s maneuver!
It was just that he had witnessed Su Yuan’s strange affinity with magical treasures before when Su Yuan took the Chi Yuan Sword away last time, so he wasn’t caught off guard.
The Unity of Man and Sword mentioned by Taibai Phecda naturally referred to the Machine Soul Joy effect brought by the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon.
What they didn’t know was that Su Yuan not only made the Chi Yuan Sword feel great joy but also subjected the doorboard giant sword to a round of PUA through the Demon Technique·Finger Weapon, making the latter fall into a state of Machine Soul Unhappiness.
This mutual exclusivity was why he was able to cut through Jin Hao’s weapon with one strike.
The ensuing battle was no longer suspenseful.
Although Jin Hao was much more proficient in martial arts than Su Yuan, length gives strength, and what’s more, Su Yuan could release Abyssal Spiritual Power through the Chi Yuan Sword.
As long as Chi Yuan could slightly touch Jin Hao’s body, the Abyssal Spiritual Power would drill into Jin Hao’s body like tentacles from the abyss.
Sensory deprivation? No! Head-to-toe sensitivity enhancement!
Additionally, due to the effects of the yellow pill and blue pill, Jin Hao entered the scene with a hunger debuff.
His stomach and all his muscles felt extremely hungry. When the sensitivity increased, his movements slowed down and grew weak.
"Su Yuan! I admit defeat this time!"
Jin Hao, bruised and exhausted, propped himself up and showed a surprising boldness in his defeat, pointing at Su Yuan, shouting indignantly:
"It’s just death, after all. Once I leave the Taixu Illusion Realm, I am a man again!"
"Once outside, I will thoroughly investigate to see if you’ve cheated!"
Listening to Jin Hao’s resolute and valiant words, Su Yuan tilted his head:
"Just death? Sorry, but that wish of yours can’t be fulfilled."
Upon hearing this fathomless statement, Jin Hao felt a chill rising in his heart.
"Wha... what do you mean..."
But before he could finish, a red sword light flashed, and he abruptly felt his head detach from his body and soar skyward.
"Hmph, still ended up dead? Almost got scared by that Su Yuan kid."
As his consciousness faded, Jin Hao sneered internally.
Yet, he didn’t expect his head to be caught mid-air by Su Yuan before hitting the ground.
Their gazes met.
Jin Hao, horrified, saw Su Yuan’s wicked smile as he pulled out a wooden spike and plunged it fiercely into his skull!
"Who would’ve thought Su Yuan could kill Jin Hao at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer with his Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer level? No wonder he’s the first place in the martial arts competition."
In the audience, Principal Zhang Youde marveled with admiration.
Since the transfer students joined Taihua High School, Zhang Youde had been concerned that these transfers would overshadow the school’s own students.
If Taihua High School got good results in the college entrance exam, people might not credit the school.
Su Yuan’s easy victory over Jin Hao made the old man quite pleased.
"Jin Hao is in class five, right? He should exit the Taixu Illusion Realm now, go greet him, and make sure the kid doesn’t have any psychological issues."
Zhang Youde instructed the class five teacher.
The teacher nodded, but when looking at Jin Hao’s login cabin, he was stunned.
"Principal, Jin Hao hasn’t logged out."
The class five teacher seemed perplexed.
"What? Could he not have died in the Taixu Illusion Realm?"
Zhang Youde and the school leaders turned their attention back to the screen showing Su Yuan’s part of the Taixu Illusion Realm.
The screen was now covered with mosaics, only vaguely depicting Su Yuan doing something to the fallen Jin Hao.
The appearance of the mosaic didn’t surprise the school leaders too much.
It was a privacy mechanism within the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Players could request privacy protection while performing unique secret techniques in the Taixu Illusion Realm, preventing secret methods from being leaked.
So, did Su Yuan use some secret technique on Jin Hao, causing him to not log out?
What on earth is this secret technique?
