How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 231 - 0227 The Strength of the Hunting King
Chapter 231: Chapter 0227 The Strength of the Hunting King
“This Chen Yu definitely has a problem!”
Luo Haotian’s expression was cold as he decisively concluded.
Luo Qiuman sighed softly.
She knew that once her cousin set his mind on something, it was hard to change.
Moreover,
this matter concerned the death of Luo Haotian’s younger brother, Haochen.
“Hao Tian, I don’t oppose your suspicion, but I hope you don’t act impulsively. After all, Chen Yu is the current Hunting King, and our Luo Family can’t afford to disgrace the face of Marquis Yunlai.”
Luo Qiuman reminded him.
Luo Haotian was determined to make trouble for Chen Yu, and she couldn’t stop him.
Luo Qiuman only hoped that Luo Haotian would stay calm and not get into trouble.
After all,
of the once ten great Ancient Clans, other than today’s Yun Zhao Royal Family, most have declined and are no longer as glorious as in the past.
“Sister Qiuman, rest assured, I will be cautious.”
Luo Haotian’s gaze flickered with a calm demeanor.
An hour later.
After introductions of some academy students were completed, they began to mingle.
Some prospective students seeking admission were humbly seeking advice from senior academy students planning to assess them.
There were also exchanges and discussions between prospective students and current students.
The main highlight was the exchanges among some senior students at the academy.
The exchanges took place over the surface of a lake.
At one moment,
a top ten ranked academy student issued a challenge to He Qiuyun, who was next to Chen Yu.
“Six Ding Academy’s Ding Kui, I’ve long heard of your reputation as the ‘No. 1 handsome man’ on the ‘Earth List.'”
A towering young man with fierce eyes looked towards He Qiuyun, his face not very friendly.
The young man’s tone carried a hint of mockery.
Chen Yu was startled, never expecting He Qiuyun’s handsome reputation to attract such hostility.
Meanwhile, whispers of rumors circulated among the students.
“It’s said that Ding Kui’s former crush had once gotten together with He Qiuyun and was later dumped…”
“Oh! There’s even such melodramatic gossip!”
Many students were fired up by the juicy gossip.
At that moment,
on the lake, the young giant “Ding Kui” and the handsome “He Qiuyun” were already clashing.
“Heavenly Axe!”
Ding Kui, the young giant, wielding a massive axe, chopped down a mighty dark waterfall. The domineering blade of the axe formed a water divide on the lake surface.
Such a powerful axe!
Prospective students of the Postnatal Qi Transformation were trembling with awe.
“This Ding Kui’s strength in the Innate Middle Stage is almost on par with the Water Moon Sect Master. Coupled with his axe’s power advantage, he’s far surpassing typical peers.”
Chen Yu was inwardly vigilant.
Even with his robust physique and bloodline, he wouldn’t dare to clash head-on with Ding Kui.
“Star Falling Sword Technique!”
He Qiuyun was unfazed. His ancient sword slashed out dazzling starlight, which danced radiantly with the lake water; with a splash, he engaged Ding Kui.
Battling Ding Kui, He Qiuyun wasn’t at a disadvantage even in the Early Innate Stage.
“This He Qiuyun, since advancing to the Innate Stage, his combat power has more than doubled.”
Chen Yu was slightly amazed.
At the previous hunting competition, if not for considering the True Fire Spirit Flame, He Qiuyun’s attack power might even slightly surpass Luo Haochen.
“Indeed, advancing in the ‘Earth List’ of talents is extraordinary.”
Some senior students at the academy had solemn expressions.
In Yun Zhao Country, talents were divided into the Earth List and the Heaven List.
Among them,
the Earth List was for young talents under the age of twenty.
Every talent listed on the Earth List was an outstanding individual in the Postnatal Qi Transformation Stage, substantially stronger than their peers.
The Heaven List was for young talents under the age of thirty.
The Heaven List mainly included talented youths and some young talents, all of whom had cultivation levels at least above Postnatal Qi Transformation, representing the top-tier talents of Yun Zhao Country.

Currently, He Qiuyun was advancing to the Innate Stage before the age of twenty.
His strength was certainly among the top few on the Earth List.
If he performed even stronger, he might have a chance to be listed among the Heaven List talents.
Watching,
after several tens of rounds, the fight between the two men on the lake was still undecided.
However, discerning viewers could see that He Qiuyun’s Sword Dao was more effortless.
“Sword Falling Star Sky!”
In He Qiuyun’s eyes, a trace of a starry sword gleam flickered, emitting an ephemeral Sword Intent vibration.
In an instant,
over the heads of the two fighters, a dazzling sword light and star rain passed, spanning seven to eight Zhuang, with a meteor-like sword rainbow charging directly towards Ding Kui.
“Not good!”
Ding Kui was shocked, as He Qiuyun’s move was a Sword Dao lethal maneuver merged with extraordinary Sword Intent, powerful enough to obliterate a significant portion of the Innate Stage.
“Sky Pool Nine Forms!”
Ding Kui gripped his axe with both hands, wildly channeling Innate True Qi, and chopped out a twisted abyss-like giant axe light wave, with surrounding winds sweeping mightily.
This single axe strike was also incredibly powerful.
However, his figure was soon swallowed by the flashing sword light and star rain, especially that meteor-like dazzling sword rainbow.
Ding ding ding! Clang boom!
After a series of rapid and continuous clashes, Ding Kui’s figure was sent flying with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
“I yield.”
He Qiuyun smiled lightly, as if the victory was so unremarkable.
After this battle,
Princess Ning, Luo Qiuman, and other senior students from four major academies were all visibly impressed by He Qiuyun.
While He Qiuyun’s cultivation and strength still had some gap from the Heaven List,
he was young, having just advanced to the Innate Stage, making him a king among his peers and age group.
Given some time,
He Qiuyun could easily ascend to the Heaven List and become one of the most dazzling figures in Yun Zhao Country.
In the following hour,
various academy students and prospective students were exchanging skills on the lake.
Chen Yu sat in the pavilion for a long time, and no prospective student approached him for an exchange.
One.
His ascent to the title of Hunting King signified that he was the strongest talent under twenty within Yunlai Prefecture.
Secondly,
most of the students at the academy were over twenty years old, considered “seniors” or “youth talents,” with most having reached the Innate stage. It wasn’t appropriate for them to lower their status by challenging Chen Yu.
At that moment,
inside the main pavilion, Commandery Princess Ning’s beautiful eyes swept over Chen Yu.
She had just returned from the Holy Capital to Yunlai Prefecture and had heard about the records broken by this Hunting King, including obtaining a demon core from a Guiyuan Realm ancient beast.
Many were curious about Chen Yu’s Hunting King abilities.
“Pang Zhenzhen.”
Commandery Princess Ning sent a telepathic message, her gaze settling on a pavilion where a chubby woman was seated.
“Let me, a student from the talent class of Yundong Academy, challenge this little guy who hasn’t even entered the academy yet?”
The chubby woman looked reluctant.
However,
Pang Zhenzhen dared not defy the words of Commandery Princess Ning, as her family was entirely dependent on Prince Manor.
“Little woman Pang Zhenzhen is very interested in the abilities of this Hunting King.”
A chubby round-faced woman appeared on the lake surface.
Her gaze fell on Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was startled, not expecting someone to suddenly propose a sparring match.
“Although Pang Zhenzhen is a senior, her cultivation has not yet broken through the Innate stage, so sparring with the current Hunting King is not excessive,”
Commandery Princess Ning said with a smile.
The surrounding seniors and prospective students nodded slightly.
The title of Hunting King represented the highest honor among the young generation in Yunlai Prefecture; stretching the rules slightly was not excessive.
“Alright.”
Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders, his figure flashed, stepping onto the surface of the lake.
He had heard slightly about “Yundong Academy,” which was the top academy in Yunlai Prefecture.
Of course, as a local academic institution, its historical heritage was far inferior to the big four academies, barely making it into the top one hundred, let alone the top fifty of Yun Zhao Country.
He speculated that this academy was probably on par with the Bone Demon Palace, at most having two or three Guiyuan Realm masters.
Of course,
such an academy was still considered a behemoth within a prefecture.
On the lake.
Chen Yu and Pang Zhenzhen quickly engaged in combat.
Originally,
Chen Yu had some disdain for this woman, but he put away that mentality after clashing with her.
“Evil Qi Transformation!”
Chen Yu operated the mighty power of the Copper Statue Technique, merging it with some dark True Qi, enhancing the black python’s power by a further twenty to thirty percent.
Such combat power was considered top-notch among the Postnatal Stage.
“Cloud Flipping Palm!”
Pang Zhenzhen swung her fan-like expanded hand, creating a deep green tidal wave of Qi, the air surging with extraordinary power.
After ten moves, neither had the upper hand.
What truly surprised Pang Zhenzhen was that with her Postnatal Peak Cultivation, clashing directly with this man left her arms numb.
Swish!
Pang Zhenzhen’s figure suddenly swayed, her chubby body moving exceptionally agile as she interchanged positions with Chen Yu.
It seemed that she also recognized Chen Yu’s advantage in strength.
The attending students showed a hint of surprise.
“Worthy of being the Hunting King, fighting a Postnatal Peak student with mere Postnatal Early Stage cultivation and still appearing so effortless.”
Some from the academy exclaimed.
Of course,
such strength was not very surprising.
The glory of the Hunting King in Yunlai Prefecture was well-regarded, naturally possessing extraordinary capabilities.
“Defeat!”
With a light shout, Chen Yu gathered strength in his heart, his power and speed surged as he rushed toward Pang Zhenzhen.
Simultaneously,
he fully operated dark True Qi, the evil Qi roaring black python fiercely lunged at Pang Zhenzhen, its power comparable to the Innate Stage.
Pang Zhenzhen’s expression slightly changed, but she wasn’t panicked.
She prepared to use a secret technique to defend, confident in blocking this strike.
However, suddenly, a thunderous sound rang in her ears, her body stiffening, her blood surging, and her head spinning.
It turned out,
Chen Yu’s shout had integrated some sonic attack from the “Copper Lion Roar.”
He dared not use the full power of the Copper Lion Roar, as it could potentially shock a Postnatal Stage expert to death.
That moment of stiffness revealed a flaw in Pang Zhenzhen.
Bang!
She was sent flying by Chen Yu’s punch, landing on the water surface, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“Thank you for going easy.”
Chen Yu smiled faintly.
This Pang Zhenzhen’s strength was even weaker than He Qiuyun before her advancement; naturally, she was no match for him.
Of course,
her talent and strength were still among the top in local academies.
Chen Yu’s victory stirred a ripple of surprise.
Defeating a Postnatal Peak academy student so effortlessly, the glory of the Hunting King was well deserved.
“Your Excellency truly lives up to the title of this Hunting King, your earlier strikes still held back…”
Commandery Princess Ning said with a smile.
Her perspective was higher, recognizing Chen Yu’s restraint; otherwise, Pang Zhenzhen would have suffered more than just minor injuries.
Commandery Princess Ning’s comment caused everyone to be shocked and moved.
If Chen Yu still had held back, his strength was at least within the top fifty of the regional list.
After the victory.
Just as Chen Yu was about to return, suddenly from a pavilion on the side, sprang a burly and tall youth with a cold demeanor.
“Humble Luo Haotian wishes to learn from the Hunting King with three moves.”
The youth’s facial contours were somewhat similar to Luo Haochen’suto by three to four points, but his expression was cold and tyrannical, and his presence extremely powerful.
“Luo Haotian!”
“How can this person, an ‘Ancient Clan talent’ from the regional list, degrade himself by challenging a prospective student?”
There was an uproar across the venue.
“Hmph! The strength you just displayed is not enough to compete with my deceased brother, let alone defeat…”
Luo Haotian sneered, raising his eyebrows.
