How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 367 - 0362 Returning Home

Ordinary treasures did not usually possess such special attributes.

Explosive effects meant augmenting the power of each swing; once an enemy was struck, the inflicted wounds would be extremely severe.

“The second spiritual artifact is named ‘Turtle Shell Shield,’ a defensive artifact. Activating this shield can instantly deploy a defensive barrier with outstanding defensive capabilities. Even if someone in the late Innate phase activated it, someone in the early Guiyuan Realm absolutely wouldn’t be able to break through it. However, this shield has a drawback; it can’t be activated consecutively…”

Compared to the first spiritual artifact, the second was slightly inferior.

“The third spiritual artifact is named ‘Water Cold Spirit Sword,’ the most outstanding among these four treasures. The blade of this sword is like water but possesses icy cold properties. When stimulated, it can turn into an ice-cold sword, which can be both flexible and firm…”

“The fourth spiritual artifact is named ‘Smoke-Spitting Pearl,’ an auxiliary treasure that can spit out a large range of fog, and the holder of this pearl will have a concealing effect within the fog. Additionally, this Smoke-Spitting Pearl has space inside, which can also be considered a storage space tool.”

The fourth treasure was moderate.

After introducing the four spiritual artifacts, the man in the Golden Cloud Robe carefully sized up Chen Yu.

Yunhai Zhen could be considered an unmatched talent of this era, secure to rank first in this competition; yet he had been defeated by Chen Yu.

This undoubtedly proved that Chen Yu was a talent far surpassing Yunhai Zhen.

In such close observation of Chen Yu, the man in the Golden Cloud Robe realized Chen Yu’s prowess.

The injuries left from the fierce battle with Yunhai Zhen not long ago had mostly healed, and his spirit was extremely vigorous; if he hadn’t consumed some heaven-defying Elixir, such recovery would have been astonishing.

Moreover, a major factor allowing Chen Yu to defeat Yunhai Zhen was the Innate Spiritual Flame known as ‘Blood Crystal Flame.’

Even though this flame was a Blood Dao Sacred Flame, it still held immense attraction for him.

And the fact that Chen Yu had obtained this flame showed his astonishing fortune.

“If only this lad were a student of Yunyang Academy…”

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe thought internally.

If Chen Yu were from Yunyang Academy, he could naturally be pulled into the Imperial Family and serve the family in the future.

Across from him, Chen Yu’s gaze swept over the four spiritual artifacts, pondering carefully.

Although Chen Yu used a sword, the best-quality ‘Water Cold Spirit Sword’ was clearly unsuitable for him; next, the ‘Burning Blade’ would perform best in the hands of a Fire Dao Practitioner.

The ‘Turtle Shell Shield’ had excellent defensive power, but since Chen Yu cultivated the ‘Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record,’ his own defensive power was already outstanding and didn’t need much enhancement.

“That leaves only the ‘Smoke-Spitting Pearl,’ the auxiliary spiritual artifact!”

Chen Yu’s gaze settled on the fourth cloud-pattern treasure pearl.

“Ah, among these four spiritual artifacts, none is most suitable for Chen Yu.”

A vice dean from No Demon Academy sighed softly.

After all, it was the first time spiritual artifacts were rewarded in the academy competition, so it was impossible to prepare too many spiritual artifacts, and the quality of spiritual artifacts was just average.

However, even so, these four spiritual artifacts were still many times better than top-tier treasures; generally, anyone in the Guiyuan Realm would be greatly tempted.

“I want this one!”

Chen Yu suddenly spoke up, pointing to the fourth spiritual artifact.

“Oh?”

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe was slightly surprised.

But he knew that among these four spiritual artifacts, none matched Chen Yu’s attributes well; rather, the last auxiliary spiritual artifact could be used similarly by anyone.

“Alright!”

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe collected the other three spiritual artifacts.

Next, Chen Yu received the Primordial Stones, Origin Transformation Pills, and noble title rewards before the award ceremony finally concluded.

“Congratulations to Vice Dean Yi, with No Demon Academy taking first place this time, the rankings of three students in the academy competition are quite impressive. This academy competition is truly a well-deserved victory for the top winner.”

A woman in palace attire stood up to offer her congratulations.

No Demon Academy’s performance in this competition was indeed astonishing, with Chen Yu ranked first, Yuan Chen fourth, and Luo Haotian eighth.

Besides, leaders from Heavenly Sword Academy and Yunyang Academy also offered their polite comments.

Moreover, other academies affiliated with No Demon Academy also came forward with their congratulations, some even directly presenting congratulatory gifts.

No Demon Academy’s amazing success in this competition also represented immense good fortune; if they could benefit from it, that would be enough.

After the competition, many academies dispersed.

However, the higher-ups from the four major academies gathered together, seeming to discuss something.

“In this academy competition, it has been confirmed that a sizable number of hidden operatives from various sects are embedded within our four major academies.”

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe said.

The first phase of the assessment exposed the true colors of these hidden operatives, allowing the four academies to suddenly realize there were so many, with some students even being key figures cultivated by the academies.

“These remnants of sect forces have become increasingly rampant now.”

A white-browed elder said displeased.

Within Heavenly Sword Academy, two exceptionally talented students died in trials, and based on various clues, it was likely they were assassinated.

“Among these hidden operatives, there are not a few top experts. This shows the sect forces have become stronger, and additionally, there seems to be one powerful hidden operative we have yet to catch…”

The woman in palace attire said.

As many students reported, there was also an assassin in a black mask with formidable strength who carried out operations very smoothly, thus remaining undiscovered.

She was worried that this assassin could be one of the top talents within the four major academies; if not identified and inadvertently nurtured, it would be a real joke.

Of course, this assassin might not necessarily be lurking within the four academies; it was also possible

On the other side, members of the No Demon Academy gathered together.

By the time they had arrived, there were a total of twenty students, but now only thirteen remained, some having perished during the first phase of the trial.

“Brother Chen, you are truly impressive—to have defeated Yunhai Zhen, I am in awe!”

Kong Zhong said with a smile.

Initially, he had competed with Chen Yu in a hunting competition. Now, Chen Yu had left him far behind.

“Chen, you indeed have great fortune. Ever since you entered the academy, you have risen rapidly, at a stunning speed.”

Jin Zhuo Peak, although not good with words, also came over to butter up.

After all, he had once tried to harm Chen Yu a long time ago. Although they had cooperated in a secret realm later, he still feared Chen Yu might harbor resentment for the past events.

Apart from Chen Yu, Yuan Chen, Luo Haotian, Situ Lin Yu, and Duan Hao, also achieved excellent results, attracting much attention.

Among them, Situ Lin Yu, with his Late Innate cultivation, ranked twentieth, which was quite remarkable.

However, because of Chen Yu’s brilliance, his light was overshadowed.

“Let’s go!”

A teacher shouted loudly.

It turned out the discussion among the upper echelons of the four major academies had concluded.

Yi Lantian called out his flying mount, and everyone boarded, ready to return to the academy.

When they had arrived, the higher-ups were somewhat worried, but now most of them had glowing faces.

Boom!

The strange flying mount beneath their feet flapped its wings, carrying everyone into the sky.

Chen Yu looked back. Among the crowd from Sky Sword Academy, he saw a figure in white—it was Ye Luofeng, who was also looking at him at this moment.

At this time, Chen Yu remembered their five-year agreement.

There was still some time until the five-year agreement, but Chen Yu’s strength had improved far beyond his own expectations.

“It seems that this trip to the ancient country was completely worth it.”

If Chen Yu had stayed in his original place, he probably would not have achieved as much as he did now.

“Not even a greeting before leaving…”

Ye Luofeng watched Chen Yu leave, biting her red lips, a mix of annoyance and loss surfacing in her heart.

…

The team from No Demon Academy arrived at Yunyang Holy Mansion and used the Transmission Array to return to Tianhe Prefecture.

In less than half a day, the group smoothly returned to No Demon Academy.

Such a huge mount caused quite a stir and instantly attracted many people’s attention.

“Welcome back, Vice Dean and all instructors!”

Many students immediately saluted.

“Vice Dean, why not call everyone out and announce this news?”

A branch dean suggested with a smile.

After all, No Demon Academy had secured first place—a joyful event that should be widely shared.

Yi Lantian nodded.

Several branch deans immediately sent out the message through their tokens.

Instantly, sounds of vibration came from all over No Demon Academy; some teachers, instructors, and students ran out heading towards the Central Square.

“The teams from the academy competition have returned.”

“I wonder how our academy fared in this competition?”

“It’s hard to say. Yunyang Academy is too strong. The first place must surely be theirs again. With Brother Yuan Chen ranked third in heaven’s ranking, third place is the best we can hope for.”

People chattered, watching the thirteen students standing beside the academy’s upper echelons.

“This time, the academy competition’s results are quite gratifying—we have three people in the top twelve.”

Yi Lantian spoke, his hoarse and aged voice echoing in the air.

“A satisfactory result? Does it mean Yuan Chen’s ranking is not just third?”

A group of teachers, with a black-robed beauty among them, showed signs of amazement. When Chen Yu and Kong Zhong had entered the academy, it was this black-robed beauty, ‘Gulifu,’ who had welcomed them.

“Among them, Luo Haotian ranked eighth in the competition. No Demon Academy will reward two hundred thousand No Demon Points.”

Yi Lantian announced.

While announcing the results, he simultaneously awarded prizes, motivating more students.

“Congratulations, Senior Brother Luo!”

“Senior Brother Luo’s strength is formidable, and this ranking is well-deserved.”

Some students flattered.

But Luo Haotian looked slightly distracted, his expression not too pleasant.

“Yuan Chen secured the fourth place for No Demon Academy, a reward of three hundred and fifty thousand No Demon Points!” Yi Lantian said.

“Fourth place?”

“Only fourth place. This time the competition results should be at the bottom, how is that something to celebrate?”

Many students and some teachers did not understand.

“Did Yuan Chen underperform?”

Gulifu was puzzled; logically, if Yuan Chen performed well, he could have achieved third place, but now it was only fourth.

“Wait, weren’t there three people who made it into the top twelve? Who is the third person?”

A teacher asked doubtfully.

“The last person to enter the top twelve of the academy competition was Chen Yu!”

This announcement caused many to open their mouths wide, dumbstruck.

“Impossible, right? Did Chen Yu really make it into the top twelve?”

“Wasn’t Chen Yu only ranked thirteenth in the slot contest?”

Many people could hardly believe it.

Gulifu looked stunned, not expecting that a student she had once troubled had made it into the top twelve during the academy competition.

“Chen Yu secured the first place for No Demon Academy, a reward of five hundred thousand No Demon Points!”

Upon hearing this, the entire No Demon Academy fell into complete silence, then suddenly burst into an uproar.
