Chapter 246
The news that two freshmen had reached the twentieth level of the Myriad Demon Tower for the first time spread like wildfire.
It was especially so for the circle of teachers who had communication methods.
Demonic Wind Academy.
An old man in a scholarly robe took out his identity token and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Nie Xuan to reach the twentieth level!"
At the same time, the old man in a scholarly robe recalled that Chen Yu had also reached the twentieth level.
This year's batch of freshmen was really surprising.
Swish!
With a flash, the old man in a scholarly robe disappeared.
On the other side, the mentor of the Blood Evil Academy, Liu Xuanzong, had also received the news.
"Chen Yu reached the twentieth level of the Myriad Demon Tower on his first try?"
Liu Xuanzong was slightly shocked.
"There might be a mistake in the news …"
Ge Juntian's expression turned ugly. He was unwilling to admit it.
The more talented Chen Yu was, the more attention he would receive from the school. It would be troublesome for him to suppress him.
"Hehe, there's no mistake!"
Liu Xuanzong chuckled and leaped forward.
"Chen Yu, work hard and pass the twentieth level. Don't lose to Nie Xuan from the Demonic Wind Academy!"
Liu Xuanzong murmured in his heart.
The Blood Evil Academy and Demonic Wind Academy were the two strongest academies in the Demonic Wind Academy. The competition between them was intense and they were on par.
Myriad Demon Tower.
Swish!
When Liu Xuanzong arrived, Instructor Xu from the Demonic Wind Academy arrived as well. The two exchanged glances with each other with confidence.
Apart from them, two other mentors from the other academies arrived as well.
Right at this moment.
Buzz!
The Ten Thousand Demon Stone Stele under the Ten Thousand Demon Tower fluctuated, and a faint layer of light appeared at the bottom of the list.
Everyone's heart clenched. For the Myriad Demon Stone Stele to have such a phenomenon, it meant that someone had passed the twentieth level.
The two mentors stared at the stone stele.
If there was nothing wrong with the stone stele, the geniuses from the two academies would at least be on par. However, there was a winner and a loser!
Gradually.
A dazzling name appeared on the Myriad Demon Stone Stele.
It was' Chen Yu '!
"It's Chen Yu. He passed the twentieth level!"
"I didn't expect it to be Chen Yu. He actually has such strength?"
The crowd was in an uproar. Most people found it hard to believe.
The twentieth floor of the Ten Thousand Demons Pagoda represented the peak of the Houtian realm. It was only a step away from the Xiantian realm.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu, who was only at the middle stage of the Hou Tian realm, possessed such strength. It was really unbelievable.
"Haha, Old Xu, the students of the Blood Evil Yard are not bad, right?"
Liu Xuanzong burst out laughing.
Earlier, he was still feeling a little apprehensive in his heart, as he thought that the possibility of Nie Xuan passing through first was higher. Now that the results were out, he was especially pleasantly surprised.
"Not bad, slightly better than last year!"
Instructor Xu's expression was calm.
Last year, the Evil Blood Courtyard was slightly worse than the Magic Wind Courtyard.
Within the Myriad Demons Tower.
"Passed level 75!"
Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
Facing five peak Houtian realm black-armored demonic creatures at the same time, even he had to spend some time to break through.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yu appeared in the Ten Thousand Demons Tower. Before him was the entrance to the 76st floor.
"The twenty-first level should correspond to the early Xiantian realm!"
Chen Yu's expression froze.
According to the style of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, enemies at the early Xiantian realm would definitely have both strength and defense.
In such a situation, even Chen Yu would have a hard time breaking through the defense without using his trump cards such as the Dragonscale Bloodline and the Blood Glazed Flame.
In addition, with Chen Yu's cultivation, it would already be a miracle if he could clear the 75th floor. If he could clear the 76st floor as well, while he would attract the attention of the academy, it would also be equivalent to telling others that he possessed a unique treasure.
Moreover, the mysterious heart could only absorb a limited amount of Bloodline Power. There was no need to waste it on passing levels.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yu decided to give up on passing levels.
Although he chose to give up, since he had already passed level 75, there was no harm in going to level 76.
Then, Chen Yu walked to level 76.
At the same time.
On the battlefield of Nie Xuan on the 75th floor.
She had already killed one of the five black-armored demonic creatures, and the remaining four had different injuries on their bodies.
But Nie Xuan had used up a lot of energy to get here. Facing five enemies of the same level, she had many injuries on her body.
"This time, I won't be able to pass level 75. Next time, I must leave my name on the Ten Thousand Demons Stone!"
Nie Xuan decided to give up.
If it was directly challenging level 75, she had sixty to seventy percent confidence that she could pass, but she had already passed nineteen levels in a row. These guards all had outstanding defense, and they didn't have any obvious weak points.
"That kid should have finished before me!"
Nie Xuan suddenly thought of Chen Yu.
She, who was in the middle of challenging the tower, couldn't know what was happening outside.
At the entrance of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower.
Nie Xuan had a smile on her face as she stepped out confidently.
So far, her results should be first among the new students.
But when she saw the expressions of the people outside the tower, her heart skipped a beat as she had a bad feeling.
She looked up and saw that the 76st floor of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower was emitting a dark and strange light.
"How? He passed level 75! "
Nie Xuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
But before the challenger of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower came out, others couldn't challenge the tower.
And on the other side, Chen Yu's name appeared on the Ten Thousand Demons Stone Stele!
76st floor.
Chen Yu's environment was completely different from the previous 75 floors.
The battlefield on the 76st floor was filled with chaotic negative auras. There was the domineering aura of demons, a bloody aura, and a sinister ghostly aura.
At the same time, the enemies that Chen Yu faced also changed.
The early-stage Xiantian black-armored demonic creature's speed had increased by a lot.
In short, the difficulty of the 76st floor had increased by a lot.
"I'll play with you next time!"
At the same time, Chen Yu hurriedly retreated and contacted his identity token.
Then, he disappeared and appeared on the first floor of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower.
When he stepped out, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a monster.
Among them, there were gazes from teachers and mentors.
"What a monster! A newcomer passed level 75 on his first try and left his name on the Ten Thousand Demons Stone Stele!"
"He's only at the mid-stage Houtian Realm. His future is limitless!"
The students couldn't control their emotions. There were praises, envy, and jealousy.
A few new students of the Blood Evil Institute went up to congratulate him.
Nie Xuan, on the other hand, stared at Chen Yu with resentment.
"It's none of my business!"
Chen Yu was innocent.
Nie Xuan insisted on competing with him, but she blamed Chen Yu for her loss.
"Chen Yu, this is your first time passing level 75 of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower. Apart from a large number of Devilless Points, there are other rewards too. Remember to go to the Devilless Branch Hall to collect them!"
Liu Xuanzong said.
"Understood!"
Chen Yu nodded.
"Nie Xuan, let's go!"
Seeing Liu Xuanzong and Chen Yu feeling smug, Mentor Xu left with Nie Xuan.
Originally, Nie Xuan's results could also be considered excellent, but because she challenged the trial together with Chen Yu, her brilliance was also overshadowed.
"I'll definitely surpass you next time!"
Nie Xuan clenched her fists, unwilling to admit defeat.
"Chen Yu, congratulations. No matter what, you're better than me!"
At this moment, Kong Zhong went up and said with a smile.
He lost to Chen Yu in the Hunting Competition and Chen Yu was more outstanding in the entrance assessment.
Meanwhile, his results in the Myriad Demon Tower were even less worth mentioning in front of Chen Yu.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Yu recalled Kong Zhong's words and asked.
"Let's talk on the way!"
Kong Zhong's eyeballs looked to both sides, then he said with a smile.
It seemed that Kong Zhong did have something to tell Chen Yu, and it was something that he didn't want too many people to know.
Without asking further, Chen Yu followed Kong Zhong and left the Ten Thousand Demons Tower.
"Chen Yu, Ten Thousand Demons Tower, interesting, interesting!"
In the distance, Situ Linyu had a smile on his face and a strange look in his eyes.
Gradually, the crowd dispersed.
The Devilless Academy was located in a huge mystic realm.
Chen Yu and Kong Zhong came to the top of a sparsely populated mountain and sat down.
"Chen Yu, your current strength is no weaker than an early-stage Connate Cultivator!"
Kong Zhong said seriously.
Chen Yu didn't speak and waited for Kong Zhong to continue.
He didn't believe that Kong Zhong came to tell him this.
Ever since the end of the Big Hunting Competition, Kong Zhong had taken the initiative to befriend him. Unfortunately, the hatred between the two of them was too great during the Big Hunting Competition, and there was always some distance between them.
"With your current strength, the puppet in your hand is no longer of much use. And I lost a lot of puppets in the Hunting Competition and I need to replenish them. I wonder if Brother Chen is willing to give it to me? "
Kong Zhong didn't waste time and went straight to the point.
Chen Yu immediately understood that Kong Zhong wanted the sword and shield puppet in his hand.
"Brother Kong, you're wrong. One more trump card means one more chance of survival at a critical moment. Who would say that they have too many tricks up their sleeves!"
Chen Yu chuckled.
In his opinion, things shouldn't be as simple as they seemed.
Even if Kong Zhong really needed puppets, he could make one or two in such a long time. There was no need for him to humble himself and beg Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu, I won't take your puppet for free. You can ask for anything!"
Kong Zhong knew that Chen Yu wasn't easy to deal with and wouldn't easily give up the puppet.
"That depends on what Brother Kong can offer!"
Chen Yu still had a smile on his face.
He was now sure that his sword and shield puppet would be of great use to the puppet master Kong Zhong. It was a pity that Chen Yu wasn't a puppet master and couldn't see it.
Although the sword and shield puppet was less and less useful to Chen Yu, he wouldn't easily give it to Kong Zhong. He hoped that Kong Zhong could take out something that could move him.
"I'll pay ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones!"
Kong Zhong said through gritted teeth.
Chen Yu was slightly shocked, but he didn't show it on the surface.
The battle strength of Chen Yu's puppet was far from ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones. Kong Zhong's offer was indeed tempting. Moreover, he also needed Primordial Stones at the moment.
"Brother Kong, I've just passed the Ten Thousand Demon Tower and obtained a lot of Demonic Points. I believe that the Demonic Branch Hall will also give me Primordial Stones as a reward. Primordial Stones aren't important to me at the moment!"
Chen Yu pretended to not care.
Kong Zhong revealed a trace of surprise. It seemed like Chen Yu had already noticed something.
"Chen Yu, I still have something in my hands, a puppet that I'd like to trade with you!"
Kong Zhong struggled for a moment before speaking, his tone was extremely confident.
Shua!
A silver light flashed and a fist-sized rock appeared in his hand.
The rock was completely silver and there were sparks of lightning on it, accompanied by sizzling sounds.
