How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 356 - 0351 Twelve People

After all, Chen Yu’s rise signified that the struggle for the top twelve had become even more intense.

“Little junior brother really has some skills, but this time, he must have angered Duan Xinyue,”

Yuan Chen said with a faint smile.

Yunhai Zhen and Ye Chengfeng also took another few looks at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu had continuously entered their line of sight, and this time was the most noticeable of them all.

However, they still did not pay too much attention.

Among the top combatants of the four major academies, Duan Xinyue herself had the weakest strength and was the latest to break through to the Guiyuan Realm; and Chen Yu only won against Duan Xinyue by taking advantage of the situation.

Regardless.

At fighting stage number four, there were originally two competitors with twenty-two consecutive victories, Chen Yu and Duan Xinyue, but with the end of this fight, Chen Yu became the only student with an undefeated record, ranking first in the group!

Outside the fighting stages, Duan Xinyue was extremely angry, her face flushed with annoyance and fury, wishing she could rush onto the stage and fight Chen Yu again.

But this was the grand tournament of the academies, with the higher-ups of the four major academies present, and if she did not follow the rules, she would lose her qualification to compete.

“Chen Yu, I underestimated you before, complacent and neglectful, you won’t have such good luck during the finals!”

Duan Xinyue glared fiercely at Chen Yu, then walked to the side.

She may have lost this fight, but she was not convinced at all.

Chen Yu and she would both enter the finals, and next time, she would not be careless and was determined to defeat Chen Yu in one fell swoop to save face.

As the buzz of conversation gradually died down, Luo Haotian not far away was still intently staring at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu could directly confront Duan Xinyue, which was something he was slightly inferior at.

But what he was more concerned about right now was the Bloodline Power Chen Yu had displayed earlier, which reminded him of something.

“The competition continues, Yu Hong versus Huang Hu!”

The referee announced loudly.

With the next round of fighting underway, the controversy over Chen Yu and Duan Xinyue’s battle quickly subsided.

Those who could stand on this stage were all top talents of Yun Zhao Country, each drawing significant attention.

Below the stage, Chen Yu sat serenely, closing his eyes to reflect deeply.

The fight with Duan Xinyue had brought him great enlightenment, after all, this was his first fight against a practitioner of the Guiyuan Realm.

And in the fight, Chen Yu’s Secret Pattern Demon Body was honed, becoming even stronger.

Seizing the opportunity, he began to reflect and cultivate.

“Ye Chengfeng, Yunhai Zhen, and senior brother should all be a bit stronger than Duan Xinyue!”

Chen Yu thought to himself.

In his fight with Duan Xinyue, Chen Yu felt the most troublesome aspect was the True Yuan’s overwhelming power, much stronger than the power of the demon patterns.

Although Chen Yu contains Half-step True Essence, the quantity was limited and unsustainable for a prolonged fight.

This was also the reason why Chen Yu did not rashly reveal his Half-step True Essence in the previous fight.

Now, Chen Yu was operating the secret techniques taught by the Red Flame King to condense his Half-step True Essence, while also operating the mental method from the Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record to enhance his True Qi cultivation.

In the trials, Chen Yu had consumed many precious materials, and then, after entering the ancient relics, he gained a lot of insight, now after experiencing battle after battle, Chen Yu’s cultivation was stimulated.

Especially after this fight, Chen Yu felt his cultivation had subtly improved.

At several peak mountaintops.

The woman in palace attire from Sky Star Academy furrowed her brows slightly, her dignified face showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Duan Xinyue, being the number one of Sky Star Academy, had now been defeated by a student ranked in the teens from No Demon Academy, which made Sky Star Academy lose some face.

“Vice Dean Yi, unless I am mistaken, your disciple seems to possess a particularly powerful Bloodline Power…”

The white-browed elder from Heavenly Sword Academy transmitted his inquiry.

The dragon scale Bloodline Power that Chen Yu possessed felt stronger to him than the Bloodline Powers of even the top ten Ancient Clans!

Otherwise, the white-browed elder would not have paid attention to Chen Yu’s Bloodline Power.

This vast country has a plethora of academies, not just the ten Ancient Clans, and many different Bloodline Powers exist, though most are of lower concentration.

“Yes…”

Vice Dean Yi replied simply.

He only knew that Chen Yu had a unique physique, and had not expected that Chen Yu also had a Bloodline Power.

Suddenly, Vice Dean Yi realized that when he had allowed Chen Yu to participate in the academy’s grand competition, it was sufficient to enter the top fifty.

But Chen Yu had slowly made his way up and now ranked among the top twelve, with even a potential final ranking not that far off.

This made him have greater expectations for this disciple.

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe also observed Chen Yu carefully, deeply interested in Chen Yu’s Bloodline Power.

As everyone knows, the Yun Family also belongs to the top ten Ancient Clans, but they were willing to actively accept and assimilate new Bloodline Powers to thrive and prosper.

…

On the four combat stages, the battles continued.

Occasionally, a few spectacular and outstanding fights occurred.

Duan Hao, a genius from No Demon Academy, was also immensely powerful, with a Late Innate cultivation capable of fighting against Innate Peak combatants.

Bang bang!

Duan Hao’s fists and kicks burst forth, his attacks wild and fierce. An invisible Evil Qi rose, as though a ferocious and fierce tiger lurked behind him.

But his opponent was just as strong, an Innate Peak student from Yunyang Academy.

As the swords clashed, their movements interwoven with each other, tearing at one another.

“Duan Hao, you are no match for me!”

“You’re speaking too soon…”

Duan Hao let out a deafening roar.

At the same time, he stimulated his Bloodline Power, with a layer of black wind patterns emerging more clearly and distinctly on the surface of his skin than ever before.

By fully driving his bloodline, Duan Hao’s speed greatly increased, and his Bloodline Power, in harmony with his Cultivation Technique, received a significant boost in might.

Boom bang pong!

Duan Hao launched a frenzied and rapid assault, leaving his opponent utterly astonished.

As the blade’s evil wind dissipated, another person had fallen.

“Duan Hao wins.”

With that announcement, Duan Hao too lay back, looking up.

In this battle, he had given his all; it was a performance well beyond the usual.

“Chen Yu, I must catch up to you…”

Duan Hao clenched his fist.

The previous fight between Chen Yu and Duan Xinyue had truly rattled him, making him realize the vast gap between himself and Chen Yu.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one stimulated by Chen Yu.

Wu Heng, the genius from Yunyang Academy participating in the competition for the first time, was also provoked, brimming with a fierce desire to fight and an almost crazed determination.

Before the competition, Wu Heng had met Chen Yu in the Demon Bone Wilderness and had directly expressed his desire to compete with Chen Yu at the event.

Although he never got the chance, the battle between Chen Yu and Duan Xinyue had already made it clear that he was no match for Chen Yu.

On another side, Ye Luofeng was taking things even more seriously; she was filled with an intense fighting spirit, persistently and resolutely brandishing her sword.

The competition continued.

Chen Yu was hardly disturbed.

After all, he had defeated Duan Xinyue. Even though there had been some trickery, he had also demonstrated the strength to stand up to Duan Xinyue in a head-on clash.

Everyone else at the No. 4 fighting platform considered Chen Yu and Duan Xinyue to be the strongest competitors, looking up to them.

Thus, when it was Chen Yu’s turn to fight, his opponent would immediately concede.

So Chen Yu was able to quietly practice on the side, in relative peace.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of the competition, but Chen Yu was making good progress in his training, his Half-step True Essence growing significantly.

Finally, with the last battle at the No. 4 fighting platform concluding.

The rankings for the No. 4 fighting platform were decided.

But only the top three could advance to the final.

First place: Chen Yu.

Second place: Duan Xinyue.

Third place: Lv Qiuling.

This was an undoubtedly surprising ranking, with Chen Yu claiming the spot that should have been Duan Xinyue’s.

In addition, with her Cang Ying still at her side and her own strength, Lv Qiuling was unmatched by the others and secured the third spot.

Soon after, the rankings for the No. 2 fighting platform were also announced.

First place: Yuan Chen.

Second place: Tang Mo.

Third place: Lu Fan.

Among them, although Tang Mo was at the Innate Peak, he was extremely powerful, having the ability to challenge someone in the Guiyuan Realm. He exchanged over fifty moves with Yuan Chen before being defeated.

And Lu Fan, ranked second at the Sky Sword Academy, had no dispute in securing the third spot.

Just then, a blinding golden light and scorching heat filled the No. 1 fighting platform.

The one making an appearance was none other than Yunhai Zhen, the top contender from Yunyang Academy.

His opponent was Luo Haotian, the second-ranked fighter from No Demon Academy.

Facing Yunhai Zhen, even Luo Haotian felt an infinite pressure, as if his body and spirit were being tormented.

Seeing that Luo Haotian did not concede, Yunhai Zhen’s gaze sharpened, and he drew a golden dragon-patterned sword.

Immediately, Yunhai Zhen’s presence surged.

“Slash!”

True Yuan surged within Yunhai Zhen, and the precious sword glowed with a dazzling flame, drawing everyone’s gaze toward it, yet also making them feel a painful burning sensation.

“Roho Protective Flame!”

Luo Haotian’s eyes trembled, and he drove his Bloodline Power, casting a layer of black and white flame light from his palms that swirled around his body, forming a shield of black and white flames.

Additionally, Luo Haotian integrated the White Shuo True Fire into his defense.

Just then, a golden sword aura tens of feet long ferociously struck down.

Boom-crack!

In an instant, a crack appeared in the protective shield around Luo Haotian, with gold, black, and white flames scattering in all directions.

The next moment, the golden sword light swept fiercely across, shattering the fiery shield.

Spurt!

Luo Haotian was blasted off the platform, spurting out a mouthful of blood, with a charred streak left across his chest. Had it not been for the protection of an exceptional armor, his injuries would have been far more severe, possibly preventing him from participating in the following matches.

One sword stroke—defeating the second-ranked fighter from No Demon Academy!

Such strength was truly shocking.

After all, in No Demon Academy, Luo Haotian was a match for Yuan Chen.

And Lv Qiuling from Sky Star Academy was also able to confront Duan Xinyue.

But against Yunhai Zhen, Luo Haotian was defeated with a single sword strike.

Even Duan Xinyue from the No. 4 fighting platform looked toward Yunhai Zhen with a grave expression.

Shortly thereafter, the rankings for the No. 1 fighting platform were released.

First place: Yunhai Zhen.

Second place: Luo Haotian.

Third place: Zhou Yuning.

Before long, the battles on the No. 3 fighting platform also concluded.

First place: Ye Chengfeng.

Second place: Yin Chengzhuang.

Third place: Luo Qiuman.

And so, the top twelve for the final were decided.
