How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 271 - 267 The Grand Competition Concludes

Chapter 271 -267: The Grand Competition Concludes
Everyone thought it was all over, the final battle had already closed.
But at the crucial moment, Chen Yu suddenly burst forth, launching an assault.
This scene made everyone’s heart jump violently, hardly daring to believe their own eyes.
All eyes were fixed on the stage.
Even the academy instructors couldn’t control their emotions.
Because all of this was just too unexpected.
Boom!
With a loud noise, the Black Slaughter Gale surged, engulfing the figures of the two combatants.
Whoosh!
A figure was thrown out of the black wind, it was Situ Lin Yu.
His right cheek was red and swollen, clearly sent flying by a punch from Chen Yu.
Boom!
Situ Lin Yu smashed heavily onto the challenge platform, kicking up a layer of dust, his eyes somewhat vacant, clearly still unable to accept what had happened.
From the start, Situ Lin Yu was utterly certain that he would be the first among the new students.
But at the last moment, he, who excelled in spiritual secret techniques, was knocked down by a body cultivator.
This was something he could never have imagined, much less accepted.
Situ Lin Yu’s gaze darkened, as a deep and sinister light flickered within, and on his forehead emerged faint, barely visible lines.
“No… with my current cultivation level, I cannot use that…”
Situ Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, he reopened his eyes, and the unwillingness and fury within gradually dissipated, returning to calm.
Although Situ Lin Yu’s anomaly and the strange signs on his forehead were fleeting,
Chen Yu still noticed them.
After all, Situ Lin Yu had not left the challenge platform, nor had he admitted defeat; Chen Yu remained on guard for any other methods Situ Lin Yu might employ.
“Is that…”
Chen Yu felt that Situ Lin Yu was an extremely complex individual, perhaps still concealing some techniques.
However, Chen Yu also had hidden techniques, such as the Dragon Scale Bloodline, Innate True Flame Blood Crystal Flame, and others.
“I admit defeat!”
Situ Lin Yu spoke up.
His spiritual power was greatly depleted, the Evil Spirit damaged, and Chen Yu’s punch had caused him significant injury.
Furthermore, Chen Yu’s strength also made him somewhat wary.
Only after a moment did the surroundings erupt with a chorus of astonished voices.
“Situ Lin Yu was actually defeated by Chen Yu!”
“How is this possible, hasn’t the weakness of body cultivation always been the spiritual aspect? How could Chen Yu possibly defeat Situ Lin Yu, who specializes in spiritual secret techniques!”
Many people found this result somewhat unreal.
It was known that Duan Hao, who defeated Cao Zhongtian, had prepared well to face Situ Lin Yu, but was still easily defeated by Situ Lin Yu.
Yet, Chen Yu had successfully overcome Situ Lin Yu!
“How is it possible? Situ Lin Yu lost!”
The instructor from the Evil Spirit Institute was also a bit shocked.
They had thought the first place was easily within reach, but it was snatched away by a student from another academy.
“It seems Chen Yu also had considerable fortune; although he is not skilled in the spiritual aspect, his spiritual power is exceptionally strong, only slightly weaker than Situ Lin Yu!”
Mr. Xu exclaimed in admiration.
As a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse, he could directly see the true state of both parties through their fight.
“That’s true, and Chen Yu’s achievements in the path of slaughter are not low either, he’s even grasped a hint of demonic intent, which makes his spiritual resistance extraordinarily tenacious!”
“Lastly, Chen Yu’s desperate counterattack seemed to have been aided by an item that resists spiritual attacks!”
Several instructors discussed and expressed their amazement, as this year’s competition for new students was indeed too unpredictable.
On Yunyang Academy’s side.
The Cloud Robed Elder and four other instructors still had traces of surprise on their faces.
“How could this… be possible!”
Lv Ze shook his head slightly.
The Chen Yu he deemed as an ant had continuously created miracles, defeating even Situ Lin Yu.
“Chen Yu!”
Princess Ning’s beautiful eyes intently observed Chen Yu.
Once again, Chen Yu shocked the entire field, dominating the scene and trampling the geniuses of the top ten Ancient Clans and the four great super families underfoot.
“Chen Yu wins!”
The judge declared the result.
The fight ended, and the two returned to the first and second stone platforms.
This challenge was initiated by Situ Lin Yu, and next, it would be the top-ranked Chen Yu’s turn to challenge.
“I pass!”
Chen Yu called out.
At this moment, did he still need to challenge anyone else?
“The third round of challenges is over, now we will proceed to the fourth round!”
The judge announced again.
Even though there had been three rounds of ranking battles,
There were still a few individuals with challenge opportunities left, such as Situ Lin Yu, who had only failed in his challenge against Chen Yu and still held one more chance.
In the third round, two battles were fought, and then it was Situ Lin Yu’s turn again.
With spiritual injuries that could not be healed in short order, Situ Lin Yu could only give up his challenge.
With that, the New Demon Academy newcomer competition drew to a close!
Based on the students standing on the stone platforms, the top twenty rankings were clear at a glance.
First: Chen Yu.
Second: Situ Lin Yu.
Third: Cao Zhongtian.
Fourth: Luo Yongguang.
Fifth: Zhang Nan.
Sixth: Duan Hao.
Seventh: Nie Xuan.
…
“Thank goodness Duan Hao has no more challenge chances, or I wouldn’t be assured of third place!”
Cao Zhongtian wiped the sweat from his brow in relief.
Before the competition, he was brimming with confidence, believing he had a great chance to take first place, as long as his luck wasn’t too bad.
But now, if it weren’t for Duan Hao running out of challenge chances, he might have even been pushed out of the top three.
Outside the arena.
“This kid has actually taken first place…”
Luo Haotian’s face was grim as cold light flashed in his eyes.
He had no doubt that with Chen Yu’s monstrous talent, it would only be a matter of a few years before he caught up to him.
“I will not allow this to happen!”
Luo Haotian’s voice was filled with malice as his figure disappeared in an instant…
“Next up, we’re distributing the prizes for the competition!”
The loud voice of the competition’s organizer resounded.
Everyone around was visibly shaken.
The students ranked in the top ten couldn’t help but smile.
“Prizes for the top ten!”
Those ranked sixth to tenth stepped forward in front of the pavilion to receive their prizes.
The rewards for the top ten included fifty thousand No Demon Points and a Qi Transformation Pill.
Fifty thousand No Demon Points is something that a student below the Innate stage might not be able to earn in two to three years.
The Qi Transformation Pill could enhance the foundation of Postnatal Stage warriors and make their advancement into the Innate stage smoother.
However, the No Demon Academy clearly hadn’t expected that there would be six Innate stage students in this competition, greatly diminishing the value of the Qi Transformation Pill. For someone like Duan Hao who ranked sixth, it was practically a useless pill.
Of course, with Duan Hao’s background, he didn’t care at all about the rewards for the top ten.
“Prizes for the top three!”
Third place: eighty thousand No Demon Points, a “Clear Spirit Pill,” and a High Grade Treasure.
Compared to the reward for the top ten, the prize for third place was a substantial amount of No Demon Points, along with a High Grade Treasure.
The Clear Spirit Pill could purify the soul, expel negative energies from the spirit, and reduce the risk of cultivation deviation.
For students of the No Demon Academy, the Clear Spirit Pill was an extremely sought-after elixir.
Second place: ninety thousand No Demon Points, a “Blood Transformation Pill,” and a High Grade Treasure.
The Blood Transformation Pill could not only strengthen the physique but was also an auxiliary cultivation elixir, which could help those in the Postnatal or even Early Innate stages break through certain bottlenecks.
“First place prize!”
Under the watchful eyes of all, Chen Yu, alone, stepped up to receive his prize.
The Black-armored Middle-aged Man lifted the lid of a jade tray, revealing three items inside.
One was a token from the No Demon Academy, containing one hundred thousand No Demon Points.
The second item was a transparent jade bottle, holding a white, Dragon Pattern Elixir.
The Ascending Dragon Pill could purify the body, heal hidden illnesses, and induce a significant leap in one’s life force, providing a substantial healing effect even on Postnatal Stage injuries, leaving behind no future complications; it could also heal injuries on the bodies of Innate stage powerhouses.
Furthermore, this pill could even slightly improve the quality of a Spiritual Body, although the exact effect would vary based on its potency.
“Can it enhance Spiritual Body talent?”
Chen Yu picked up the jade bottle, examining it carefully.
Although the effect was minor, it was still effective.
So far, the only other thing Chen Yu had seen that had this effect was the Moon Spirit Ore Mother; thus, this Ascending Dragon Pill was the second.
The moment he picked up the Ascending Dragon Pill, Chen Yu could clearly sense numerous greedy gazes from around the Demon Sky Peak.
No wonder, given the pill’s healing effects, which were effective even for those in the Late Innate stage, not to mention its ability to enhance Spiritual Body quality.
Only those in the Guiyuan Realm could resist the temptation of this pill.

Additionally, the third item was two small tokens that allowed one to select two High Grade Treasures from the No Demon Academy’s “Demon Weapon Pavilion.”
As per tradition, after the prizes were distributed, there would be another matter to attend to.
That would be the selection of disciples by the tutors.
Tutors used the freshmen competition to understand each student’s capacities in various aspects, which helped them make the best choices.
Moreover, taking on disciples wasn’t limited to their own academy; tutors could choose any student they wanted from any branch academy, provided that the student agreed.
Being accepted as a disciple by a tutor not only allowed for many conveniences but was also akin to having a backer within the academy, greatly reducing the chances of being retaliated against. In addition to that,Students would also receive guidance from their tutors, which was a plethora of benefits.
However, some particularly outstanding students had already been taken as disciples by certain tutors before the freshman competition.
Such as Situ Lin Yu, Nie Xuan, etc.
Then, there were some older students who had already become disciples of certain tutors.
“Wei Ran, would you be willing to become my disciple?”
Another instructor from the Evil Spirit Institute spoke up.
Wei Ran was an older student who had not caught the eye of a tutor in the previous competition.
But in this competition, with his decent ranking, he had won the approval of a tutor.
“I would be honored!”
Wei Ran smiled gracefully and respectfully bowed with fists clasped.
“Li Yan, would you wish to become my disciple?”
An instructor from a smaller branch looked over at the seductive woman.
She was also a freshman and had managed to make it into the top twenty with her Postnatal Late Stage cultivation, showing both remarkable strength and luck.
“I would be pleased to!”
Li Yan smiled beguilingly.
At this moment, Liu Xuanzong from the Blood Slaughter Sect stood up.
In this freshmen competition, the Blood Slaughter Sect took three places in the top twenty, with the first place being one of theirs, basking in endless glory.
Liu Xuanzong gave Chen Yu an approving glance, then quickly shifted his gaze away.
“Duan Hao, are you willing to become my disciple?”
Liu Xuanzong gazed intently at Duan Hao.
“I am willing!”
Duan Hao’s expression was cold, but a fierce will to fight could be seen flickering in his eyes.
He had lost in this competition, but he planned to catch up with Situ Lin Yu and Chen Yu as quickly as possible, and even surpass them.
He was willing to accept anything that would rapidly enhance his strength.
“Eh? Is there no tutor interested in Chen Yu?”
Cao Zhongtian, Luo Yongguang, and others showed looks of confusion.
Logically, the first-place winner of each competition should be highly sought after by the tutors, culminating in the students making their own choice.
Yet this time, not a single tutor seemed to want to take Chen Yu as a disciple.
