How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 368 - 0363 Refining the Spiritual Artifact

This was said by the vice-principal himself—could there be any mistakes?

Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent for a moment before erupting again.

“Chen Yu actually defeated the top candidates of the four major academies, even Yunhai Zhen who possesses strong bloodline and true fire lost? Does that mean Chen Yu now has the combat strength to defeat early Guiyuan Realm?”

Among the teachers, Gulifu turned pale, disbelieving.

In such a short time, Chen Yu had grown to this extent.

She hadn’t yet broken through to the Guiyuan Realm, which meant she was no longer a match for Chen Yu.

Not just her, the majority of the teachers at the academy were no longer matches for Chen Yu.

Gulifu was deeply affected, feeling lost within. If she had known this would happen, she would have tried to establish a good relationship with Chen Yu when she first met him. Just a little favor from him in the future could drastically change her life trajectory.

At the same time, students who had offended Chen Yu felt their hearts leap to their throats.

But many more students came to congratulate Chen Yu and curry favor with him.

Now that Chen Yu had achieved such a brilliant success, it was hard to imagine how far he would go in the future.

“I really didn’t expect Brother Chen to be so impressive, achieving first place directly in the competition.”

Yang Zhang, who had initially had a good relationship with Chen Yu, was moved and laughed.

“Chen Yu, come with me.”

Yi Lantian said to Chen Yu, releasing a powerful True Yuan Power that enveloped Chen Yu, lifted him up, and disappeared into the mist.

The Sanctuary, Yi Lantian’s residence.

“Here are five hundred thousand No Demon Points as a reward!”

Yi Lantian casually took out a token and handed it to Chen Yu.

After taking the five hundred thousand No Demon Points, Chen Yu returned the token.

“You have so many secrets, even I don’t know them,” Yi Lantian said with a slight smile after awarding the points.

“I carry too many treasures and dare not show them off,” Chen Yu said with a grin.

In this academy competition, he had given it his all, revealing almost all his cards, including things Yi Lantian could certainly have noticed—like Chen Yu’s strong recovery ability, special physique, and bloodline, none of which he had disclosed to Yi Lantian.

Yi Lantian nodded and didn’t pursue further.

Everyone has their secrets, and he didn’t insist if others didn’t want to share.

Moreover, when he took Chen Yu as a disciple, he had also had people thoroughly investigate Chen Yu’s background, which was clean with no powerful backing.

At that time, it would have been indeed dangerous if Chen Yu had revealed all these.

“This competition has brought you first place, glory, and plentiful rewards; however, it also bears certain risks,” Yi Lantian said again, worry evident in his eyes.

“Master, are you referring to the remaining sect forces?”

Chen Yu asked.

“Exactly, this competition ranks the geniuses of the ancient country, but for the remaining sect forces, the rankings of the academy competition are akin to an assassination leaderboard!” Yi Lantian’s eyes turned sharp.

From the first round of this competition, it’s clear that the remaining sect forces have infiltrated the major academies and even the Imperial Family.

It’s hard to imagine what level these secretly hidden sect forces have reached.

With Chen Yu’s achievement of first place with the cultivation level of the Peak of Middle Innate, he had almost become the primary assassination target of the sect forces.

“I understand,” Chen Yu nodded, having thought about this himself.

But if he hadn’t striven for it, he wouldn’t have even made it into the top ten in the second round, and thus would’ve missed out on the substantial rewards of the final competition.

This would significantly slow his overall progress.

“What are your plans moving forward?” Yi Lantian asked.

“I plan to study within the academy for two more years, then leave Yun Zhao Country,” Chen Yu answered truthfully.

In two years, he would reach the five-year agreement with Luofeng, and at that time, he would return to his hometown.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn’t help but think of his parents, his former Yunyue Sect, hoping they were well, and his master, Elder Mao…

He also thought of Lv Tiezu, who had once driven him to desperation, the number one person from the Three Sects; involuntarily, his fists clenched slightly.

“Oh? Leaving Yun Zhao Country?” Yi Lantian was slightly surprised.

Of course, when he had initially inquired about Chen Yu’s background, he knew Chen Yu wasn’t from Yun Zhao Country.

But that was perhaps for the best. Once he left Yun Zhao Country, Chen Yu’s safety could be better guaranteed.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you may leave now.”

…

After bidding farewell to his Master, Chen Yu first went to the No Demon Main Hall.

“Chen Yu, what brings you here—trading items or posting a mission?”

An elderly man greeted him enthusiastically.

“I’m here to claim the reward for eliminating the infiltrators!”

Chen Yu said, taking out a blood-stained cloth bag and a token.

This token was evidence of Ren Han’s sect identity.

“So, it’s about that matter. The No Demon Main Hall had your reward prepared early and was about to send it to you later.”

The elderly man smiled with squinted eyes.

Chen Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable with the elder’s demeanor.

Now that he was the champion of the grand competition, countless people wanted to establish a close relationship with him.

Without saying much more, Chen Yu collected his reward and left the place.

“Two hundred thousand No Demon Points, fifty thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, one Refining Token for a High Grade Treasure!”

Ren Han had significant influence and power at the No Demon Academy, so Chen Yu’s rewards were substantial, including two hundred thousand No Demon Points, fifty thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, and one Refining Token for a High Grade Treasure.

Among these, Chen Yu most needed the No Demon Points, but the most precious was the Refining Token for a High Grade Treasure.

With the token, he could commission one of the Artifact Refining Masters at the No Demon Academy to forge a weapon suitable for himself.

Back in his residence, Chen Yu began to organize his gains.

In the first part of the competition, Chen Yu had acquired a vast amount of vintage and valuable materials, of which only a small portion was useful to him; the rest could be sold or traded.

Some rare ores would allow Chen Yu to forge a better weapon.

Besides that, Chen Yu had many spoils of war, including more than a dozen High Grade Treasures and two High Grade Treasures, which, if sold, could fetch a considerable amount of Primordial Stones.

Then there was Chen Yu’s grand competition reward: one hundred fifty thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, one Origin Transformation Pill, and one Spiritual Artifact.

Chen Yu was still some distance from reaching the Guiyuan Realm, and he wouldn’t need the Origin Transformation Pill any time soon.

“The Smoke-spitting Pearl!”

Chen Yu took out a Cloud Pattern Treasure Pearl and began to refine it.

To fully harness the power of a Spiritual Artifact, refinement was necessary.

Two days later, Chen Yu had completely refined the Smoke-spitting Pearl; his True Qi could circulate faster within the artifact, and his Spiritual Sense formed a faint connection with it.

Chen Yu’s Spiritual Sense delved into the Smoke-spitting Pearl, and indeed, there was a small space inside filled with swirling clouds.

This space was about as big as a small room, much larger than the storage bag he currently used.

“Let’s test the effect of the Smoke-spitting Pearl.”

Chen Yu channeled his True Qi into it, and instantly, a white mist started emanating from the surface of the pearl and quickly filled his courtyard.

Moreover, this mist did not feel out of place—it seemed like natural fog.

Gradually, the fog spread out, enveloping Chen Yu’s entire courtyard and continued to expand outward.

“The range of the fog can reach at least a hundred zhang!”

Chen Yu estimated.

This was while he used Magic Pattern Qi; if he used half-step True Essence, the range the Spiritual Artifact could cover with the fog would be even greater.

Moreover, when his Spiritual Sense penetrated into the Smoke-spitting Pearl, Chen Yu could directly see everything within the mist-covered area.

Outside.

Several students came to visit Chen Yu.

Two days had passed since the grand competition, and news about it spread fast, centered around the Yunyang Holy Mansion.

Tianhe Prefecture, being adjacent to Yunyang Holy Mansion, naturally got the news first.

At this time, those who initially harbored doubts finally fully believed.

Among the senior students of the Blood Slaughter Institute, a group had once provoked and offended Chen Yu.

This day, they came with generous gifts to visit Chen Yu.

“Eh? What’s going on, how come there’s suddenly so much fog?”

“I can’t see anything.”

“No Demon Academy is in a secret realm; logically, the weather shouldn’t change so abruptly.”

…

“Not bad.”

Chen Yu smiled and put away the Smoke-spitting Pearl.

At that moment, the students outside were quite frightened; the fog was thick just a moment ago, and they couldn’t see their hands in front of them, but suddenly it all disappeared.

“Brother Shi, this place feels strange; perhaps we should leave.”

The students were spooked by the scene and were ready to beat a retreat.

Just then, Chen Yu stepped out of his yard.

“Chen Yu…”

Several people were suddenly alarmed.

“Do you need something?”

Chen Yu looked at the few people, not recognizing any of them.

“Brother Chen, I’m Shi Wei from the Blood Slaughter Institute. I was blind before to not recognize Mount Tai…”

A young man in black armor said with an awkward smile, offering some Primordial Stones and No Demon Points.

This Shi Wei, because of a matter concerning a cultivation cave in the past, had offended Chen Yu and later even arranged for Blood Demon Hand to deal with Chen Yu.

“Oh, those trivial matters of the past, don’t worry about them.”

Chen Yu did not dwell on the issue.

Seeing that Chen Yu really didn’t mind, the black-armored youth and the other students left the place.

After leaving his residence, Chen Yu also learned news that Ren Han’s head was hung in the Central Square of the No Demon Academy to proclaim the school’s authority and deter any sect infiltrators.
