How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 345 - 0340 The Final Stage

“Senior Brother, Yin Chengzhuang was held back by me, Jin Zhuo Peak, Situ Lin Yu, and some others, otherwise he would have run away earlier.”

Chen Yu immediately spoke.

His meaning was clear; Yin Chengzhuang had been under watch by Chen Yu and others the whole time, and they deserved the most credit, while Ye Chengfeng had only just appeared.

“Understood.”

Yuan Chen nodded.

Previously caught in a crisis, Chen Yu and others only needed to drive Yin Chengzhuang away, but they risked staying close to Yin Chengzhuang, waiting for Yuan Chen to arrive.

Yuan Chen held certain grievances against Yin Chengzhuang and was grateful for this.

“Ye Chengfeng, Yin Chengzhuang has long been prey eyed by No Demon Academy, so his tokens are ours!”

Yuan Chen spoke assertively.

“Let me see the strength you’ve gained after your breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm then!”

Ye Chengfeng snorted coldly, staring directly at Yuan Chen, his eyes emitting an incredibly sharp Sword Intent.

Ye Chengfeng hadn’t paid much attention to the earlier Yuan Chen.

But it was different after he had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm.

“Okay!”

Yuan Chen spoke briefly, his demeanor eager.

He had just broken through to the Guiyuan Realm and wanted to test his own strength.

“The battle is starting.”

Chen Yu immediately retreated.

Instantly, Ye Chengfeng and Yuan Chen moved into action.

Whoosh!

A dazzling white light shone; a terrifying sword beam burst forth instantly, striking towards Yuan Chen.

This sword, long brewed by Ye Chengfeng, was extremely powerful.

“Mystic Ice Palm!”

Yuan Chen channeled his True Yuan, unleashing a dim, cold, icy palm shadow.

Instantly, a chilling force spread out, covering his surroundings with a layer of frosty haze.

Boom!

The sword beam clashed with the ice palm, sweeping up a destructive storm.

In the air, sharp white light and gray ice fragments surged around.

Nearby mountains and vegetation were instantly sliced with countless sword marks and coated with a layer of ice.

Ye Chengfeng’s Sword Dao attack was strong enough to be renowned across the four major academies, but at this moment, Yuan Chen, having broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, could match him blow for blow.

After clashing once, the two engaged again.

Among them, Ye Chengfeng used extremely fast movement techniques to dodge and defend.

After a brief moment of brewing, he unleashed another astonishing sword light, startling those around.

Before long, Jin Zhuo Peak, Situ Lin Yu, and Nie Xuan among others also arrived, and upon seeing this scene, they couldn’t help but gasp before joining Chen Yu.

“Yuan Chen has broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, yet Ye Chengfeng can still contend with him.”

An outer academy student exclaimed.

“You don’t understand; the top talents of the four major academies, even before breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm, condense a Half-step True Essence, possessing the strength to contend with the Guiyuan Realm. Compared to ordinary people, these top talents’ increase in combat strength isn’t significant after their breakthrough because their strength was already strong, reaching a limit.”

“But in terms of future potential, that can’t be compared with ordinary Guiyuan Realm, these talents will continue to grow more and more astonishingly and even have the potential to reach the Sky Sea Realm. For ordinary Guiyuan Realm, this hope is much more remote, nearly non-existent.”

Jin Zhuo Peak slightly explained, somewhat disdainful.

This was also why these talents deliberately stayed in the Qi Transformation Realm and were reluctant to break through to the Guiyuan Realm.

“I see.”

The student who had misspoken suddenly felt embarrassed.

Boom, bang!

The battle between Yuan Chen and Ye Chengfeng didn’t last long.

Yuan Chen, having broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, had stronger True Yuan than the Half-step True Essence, also in greater quantities.

At one moment, Ye Chengfeng was sent flying back several dozen feet by Yuan Chen’s palm, his body coated with a layer of ice, and blood just emerging from the corners of his mouth immediately froze.

“Yuan Chen, after I break through to the Guiyuan Realm, I’ll reclaim this loss.”

Ye Chengfeng dropped a cold remark and quickly left the area.

Afterward, everyone gathered around the pile of tokens.

After counting, there were three hundred sixty-seven tokens.

Yuan Chen, having driven off Ye Chengfeng, clearly deserved the most credit, and next was Chen Yu, who, without, Yin Chengzhuang would have escaped long ago.

Eventually, Chen Yu received one hundred tokens.

“Senior Brother Jin, you don’t seem to have much use for so many tokens…”

Chen Yu approached Jin Zhuo Peak and hesitated before speaking.

Jin Zhuo Peak was momentarily stunned, somewhat speechless inside; it was clear Chen Yu was trying to extort tokens from him.

Presumably used to extortion, Chen Yu didn’t approach Situ Lin Yu or Nie Xuan but instead approached the more formidable Jin Zhuo Peak.

“Indeed, you only need ten pairs of black and white tokens to pass the first phase; it is indeed excess. I was planning on trading with some who need them.”

Jin Zhuo Peak was no fool, hardened by previous extortions this time he proposed a trade.

Eventually, Chen Yu exchanged some resources for eighty tokens from Jin Zhuo Peak.

In this way, Chen Yu now had three hundred eighty-eight tokens.

“Junior Brother, are you aiming for the top ten?”

Yuan Chen was surprised by Chen Yu’s actions.

He was indeed very surprised. Considering Chen Yu was only in the Innate Middle Stage, he actually aspired to rank among the top ten in the first segment.

“Yes.”

Chen Yu answered very frankly.

After all, the top ten in the first segment wasn’t about strength, but rather about the number of Tokens, which made it relatively easier.

Moreover, it was said that the rewards for the competition were incredibly generous.

Chen Yu even suspected that the rewards for the competition were split into two parts, the first being distributed during the first segment and the rest afterward.

If that were the case, he couldn’t afford to miss out on the rewards of the first segment.

“Okay, Senior Brother will try his best to help you.”

Yuan Chen smiled.

This junior brother seemed even more formidable than he had imagined.

Perhaps, this competition, his junior brother might even break into the top twenty.

Afterward, Chen Yu and his senior brother Yuan Chen teamed up, diverging from the others.

With only a little over half a month left in the first segment, most people had focused on plundering precious materials before.

But after half a month, most were considering the issue of Tokens.

Those without ten pairs of black and white Tokens were all trying to complete their sets.

And those who had hopes of breaking into the top ten were seizing every opportunity to plunder Tokens from others.

Chen Yu and Yuan Chen were doing just that; both aimed for the top ten, and they embarked on a campaign to plunder Tokens.

Anywhere they went, unless it was someone from No Demon Academy, they almost invariably plundered.

With Yuan Chen’s Guiyuan Realm cultivation level, as long as he didn’t run into the top figures from the other three major academies, it was virtually smooth sailing.

Five days passed, and Chen Yu had acquired another two hundred Tokens, reaching a total of five hundred eighty-eight.

But afterward, plundering Tokens became more difficult.

Only ten days remained in the first segment, everyone moved in teams, and the teams were strong, concentrating Tokens in the hands of top fighters.

Even Yuan Chen couldn’t remain as carefree as before and had to start being cautious.

It was said that Yunhai Zhen, Ye Chengfeng, Yin Chengzhuang, and Duan Xinyue were each leading their teams, starting to scourge for Tokens.

Time slowly passed, and the entire secret realm space was filled with a tense atmosphere of combat.

Every now and then, a large-scale battle would erupt.

…

In a certain mist-covered forest with dim lights, a dozen people gathered together.

All of them were dressed in black, their faces concealed, revealing only their eyes.

Quickly, one of the individuals in black took out a Token.

The rest immediately knelt down.

This Token symbolized a True Disciple of their sect alliance, a top genius infiltrated into the various academies of Yun Zhao Country.

“Nowadays, these academy geniuses in the secret realm have formed large teams and are plundering Tokens everywhere; it’s become difficult for us to make a move.”

The one who took out the Token spoke in a cold, deep voice.

“Yes, a few days ago, a disciple was discovered and killed while trying to make a move.”

One of them reported.

“It’s all because of that ‘Zhenluo Sect,’ acting too ostentatiously and making these academy geniuses cautious, making it hard for us to act.”

One disciple complained.

“Zhenluo Sect?”

The person holding the Token, chewed over these words.

Zhenluo Sect was another formidable sect power.

This time, the infiltrators from Zhenluo Sect also had incredible beings.

According to his speculation, that rumored assassin in a pitch-black mask should be a True Disciple of the Zhenluo Sect, and even stronger than him.

“Alright, hand over the Tokens you assassins have collected.”

The person standing continued.

The others, without saying a word, immediately took out the Tokens they had collected over this period.

Everyone understood that this True Disciple aimed to break into the top ten of the first segment.

“Do any of you know the situation of Chen Yu from No Demon Academy?”

The black-clad person of True Disciple status inquired.

“This person is only ranked thirteenth in No Demon Academy, Senior Brother, are you planning to make a move on him?”

Someone asked.

“Hmph, Chen Yu isn’t as simple as he appears on the surface; he is actually a disciple of the vice dean of No Demon Academy. If we can eliminate him now, why give him a chance to grow further?”

The only one standing scoffed.

“I know. Chen Yu is with Yuan Chen, and Yuan Chen has now broken through to the Guiyuan Realm with formidable strength, and with his protection, we can’t touch Chen Yu.”

A woman shared what she knew.

“That’s not for certain. I heard that Ye Chengfeng of Sky Sword Academy has broken through the Guiyuan Realm and is actively looking for Yuan Chen’s whereabouts, wanting to challenge him…”

A slightly sharp voice chimed in.

“Good, reveal Yuan Chen’s whereabouts to Ye Chengfeng of Sky Sword Academy.”

The black-clad True Disciple commanded.

“Hehe, Senior Brother, what a clever plan, letting Ye Chengfeng deal with Yuan Chen and Chen Yu.”

One person spoke flatteringly.

Ye Chengfeng’s strength was ranked second in Yun Zhao Country’s celestial rankings, considerably stronger than Yuan Chen, and now that he too had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, he should be able to overpower Yuan Chen.

“Disperse!”

The standing person in black waved.

Whoosh whoosh—

A group of people scattered and disappeared.

The person in black also quickly left, and when he had gone a short distance and found no one around, he put away his black clothes.

His face was handsome, with chiseled features, dark, gloomy eyes, and his long black hair flowing without wind.

If there were any students from No Demon Academy here, they would recognize this man’s name; he was none other than Ren Han, the top figure of Devil Wind Institute.
