Chapter 265

"That's right. After Situ Linyu broke through to the Xiantian Realm, he successfully formed an evil spirit."

A gray-robed mentor from the Evil Spirit Academy smiled.

He was also shocked when Situ Linyu formed an evil spirit.

Then, he personally taught Situ Linyu how to nurture the evil spirit and strengthen it. In a few months, Situ Linyu's evil spirit had grown to a terrifying level.

In the eyes of the gray-robed mentor, Situ Linyu would definitely get first place in this year's Freshmen Competition.

He obeyed Situ Linyu's wishes and did not spread the news.

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the other mentors, the gray-robed mentor was delighted.

On the challenge stage.

Whoosh!

The big-headed evil spirit floated out and let out a strange cry. It seemed to be able to penetrate one's soul and awaken the evil thoughts in one's heart.

"Evil spirit!"

Duan Hao looked at the grotesque Evil Spirit with a solemn expression.

Suddenly.

Buzz!

A black light flashed in the big-headed evil spirit's eyes, and evil mental energy fluctuated.

"Not good!"

Duan Hao immediately realized that something was wrong.

The world in front of him darkened again, and his perception dropped rapidly.

"Hehe, this evil spirit of mine can also use the Secret Eyes of Night!"

Situ Linyu chuckled.

The Secret Eyes of Night was the mental energy eye technique that Situ Linyu had just used. His evil spirit could also use it.

An ordinary early-stage Xiantian Realm cultivator would be affected by the illusion just by looking at his eyes, and it would be difficult for them to unleash their full strength.

If he and the evil spirit used this secret technique at the same time, it would be even more powerful.

"Situ Linyu has such a technique!"

Cao Zhongtian could not help but shake his head.

If he were to face Situ Linyu, his performance would not be much better than Duan Hao's.

The other Xiantian Realm experts in the top ten also had a solemn expression, and they looked at Situ Linyu with fear.

On the challenge stage.

After suffering two attacks from the Secret Eyes of Night, Duan Hao struggled to hold on, and his condition was deteriorating.

However, from the start, Duan Hao had seen Situ Linyu as his biggest competitor.

He knew Situ Linyu's strength, so how could he not be prepared?

"Shocking Spirit Killing Technique!"

Duan Hao formed a seal with both hands, and a wave of mental energy surged from his body.

The aura and mental energy fused together to form an illusory tiger, emitting a powerful mental energy.

Roar ~

The illusory tiger image roared ferociously, and a powerful mind power reverberated in Duan Hao's mind.

In an instant, the world before Duan Hao's eyes became bright again, and his condition returned to its peak.

"This is the Evil Dao's mental secret technique?"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up.

However, this was not a psychic attack secret technique, but a supplementary secret technique that could allow one to instantly wake up and destroy illusions.

Roar!

After getting rid of the illusion, Duan Hao unleashed the Demonic Berserk Shadow and charged toward Situ Linyu.

Around them, countless people held their breath and stared at the scene on the stage.

Everyone thought that Situ Linyu would win after taking out the Evil Spirit.

Who would have thought that Duan Hao was already prepared and cultivated a secret technique that could destroy illusions?

"Hehe, I knew it wouldn't be that easy to deal with you!"

Situ Linyu had a slight smile on his face. It was as if everything was going according to his plan.

"Evil Fire Strike!"

Situ Linyu grunted.

The big-headed Malevolent Spirit's body suddenly ignited with dark gray evil flames, and its entire body seemed to have turned into a fireball as it smashed towards Duan Hao.

Peng! Swoosh!

Sensing this, Duan Hao exerted force with his right foot and changed his direction.

However, the ball of gray evil fire also changed its direction and chased after Duan Hao. Boom!

Bang!

The gray fireball landed on Duan Hao's body, and a ball of gray mental energy flames exploded.

Swoosh!

With a flash of gray light, the big-headed Malevolent Spirit floated out with a strange smile.

On the spot.

"Ah …"

Duan Hao's mental energy was burned by the evil fire, and he hugged his head and screamed in pain.

Swoosh!

Situ Linyu's figure floated over and he slapped Duan Hao out of the challenge stage.

"Duan Hao lost!"

Everyone exclaimed.

After keeping the Evil Spirit, Situ Linyu gently leaped back onto the stone stage and looked at Chen Yu as if he was declaring war.

As a body cultivator, Chen Yu's mental energy was indeed his weakness. However, after obtaining the Moon Spirit Mineral and the ancient mental energy secret technique "Heavenly Heart Refinement", this problem no longer existed.

Currently, Chen Yu's mental energy far exceeded that of an ordinary early-stage Connate Cultivator, and he should be able to resist Situ Linyu's mental energy secret technique.

"Hmm?"

Situ Linyu was slightly surprised to see that Chen Yu's expression did not change much.

The ranking battle continued.

Duan Hao's challenge failed, and it was Zhang Nan's turn next.

Zhang Nan's thoughts were a little unclear, and he could not think rationally, but he knew that he was no match for Chen Yu.

Just now, the strength that Situ Linyu had displayed had a greater impact on him.

"I challenge Cao Zhongtian!"

Zhang Nan's hoarse voice came out.

"Hmph, a lunatic who has been corrupted by demonic intent. You don't know what's good for you!"

Cao Zhongtian's face was full of anger.

Previously, he was the most likely candidate to win first place. Although he was not now, it was not to the point where any random person dared to provoke him.

Boom!

Cao Zhongtian landed on the challenge stage and took out a pitch-black giant axe.

He showed no mercy and defeated Zhang Nan in less than 75 moves with his unparalleled offensive power.

Then, it was Luo Yongguang's turn.

"I challenge Cao Zhongtian!"

Luo Yongguang looked at Cao Zhongtian.

Although he had failed the mission given to him by Luo Haotian, he still wanted to fight for a ranking.

He had no chance of winning against Chen Yu or Situ Linyu, but he wanted to try his luck against Cao Zhongtian.

"Cao Zhongtian, you have just fought, so you have the right to postpone the next battle!"

The judge reminded him.

"No need!"

Cao Zhongtian shouted angrily.

He had just been challenged by Zhang Nan, but now he was being challenged by Luo Yongguang, which made Cao Zhongtian extremely angry.

If he chose to postpone the battle, wouldn't he be telling others that he was afraid of Luo Yongguang?

"Giant Demon's Thirteen Axes!"

Cao Zhongtian used his ultimate skill right from the start. Streaks of Demonic Axes whistled out and swept across the stage.

On the other hand, Luo Yongguang had never underestimated Cao Zhongtian, and he gave it his all.

Boom! Bang!

On the challenge stage, the Giant Demon's Phantom Axe and the Purple Flame Blade intertwined, forming a terrifying storm.

Compared to Cao Zhongtian's Giant Demon's Thirteen Axes, Luo Yongguang's Purple Flame Blade was slightly inferior.

However, Luo Yongguang's weapon was better than Cao Zhongtian's, so the two were evenly matched.

At a certain moment.

Cao Zhongtian and Luo Yongguang activated their Ancient race bloodlines one after another, causing the battle to heat up even more.

"Die! The thirteenth chop, Giant Devil Splitting Mountain!"

Cao Zhongtian's face was ferocious like a real devil. The giant axe in his hand slammed down with a domineering demonic might.

Luo Yongguang's face darkened. He waved the Glaze Treasure Saber and activated his bloodline, slashing out a purplish-white light wave.

Ding!

As the two collided, the white and purple light wave only managed to resist for a moment before being swallowed up by the Giant Demon Axe Shadow.

Boom!

Luo Haotian was blasted out of the challenge stage and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

"This guy!"

Cao Zhongtian heaved a sigh of relief.

Luo Yongguang also participated in the last competition, but he didn't even enter the top ten.

In this competition, Luo Yongguang was already able to make him fight with all his might.

Luo Yongguang's challenge failed. Next, it was Cao Zhongtian's turn.

"I give up!"

Cao Zhongtian said helplessly.

The first and second were both existences who had defeated Duan Hao. Was he a match for them?

Moreover, Cao Zhongtian had fought two battles in a row and had consumed a lot of energy.

Furthermore, he had already lost his two chances to challenge. The best result he could achieve in this competition was third place.

After Cao Zhongtian gave up, everyone's gaze turned to Situ Linyu.

"I never thought that Duan Hao would defeat Cao Zhongtian, while Chen Yu and Situ Linyu would defeat Duan Hao. I wonder who will win?"

"Isn't that obvious? Have you heard of any physical cultivator that specializes in mental energy? To Chen Yu, Situ Linyu is the worst opponent! "

"Indeed. I think that Chen Yu is even weaker than Duan Hao. He might not even be able to withstand Situ Linyu's Secret Eyes of Darkness!"

Everyone had their own opinions.

However, almost everyone believed that Chen Yu would definitely lose, and his performance might even be worse than Duan Hao's.

In the pavilion.

"Looks like Situ Linyu will be the champion of this competition!"

The Devil Wind Academy's Teacher Xu sighed.

The Evil Spirit Academy's grey-robed teacher could not help but smile.

It had been a few years since the Evil Spirit Academy had won first place in the competition.

"However, Chen Yu is not bad either. As a physical cultivator, he has encountered Situ Linyu, who specializes in mental energy."

One of the teachers felt sorry for Chen Yu.

On the Yunyang Academy's side.

"Pay more attention to those two. You might encounter them in the next academy competition!"

The elder in the cloud robe said to the students.

The Academy Competition that the elder mentioned was a grand occasion where all the geniuses from the hundreds of academies in the entire Yunzhao Nation would gather.

The students' hearts skipped a beat, and their faces were filled with shock.

To them, although the Freshmen Competition of the Demon-Free Academy was unexpected, even if it was the strongest Situ Linyu or Chen Yu, they could still easily crush them.

However, geniuses grew too fast. In a few years' time, these two people might really catch up to them.

"Situ Linyu is a genius from the Situ family. He might be able to catch up to us. However, as a physical cultivator, Chen Yu will have a hard time advancing in the future. I'm afraid he won't be able to participate!"

Lv Ze shook his head and smiled.

He did not believe that Chen Yu, who he regarded as an ant, would be able to catch up to him.

…

The Demonic Sky Peak gradually quietened down.

Chen Yu and Situ Linyu had already entered the arena. Everyone's eyes were focused on them. If there were no accidents, the winner of this battle would be the champion!

"Chen Yu, I didn't expect that my final opponent would be you."

Situ Linyu chuckled.

"Oh? You knew from the beginning that you would definitely make it to the end? "

Chen Yu asked.

"Not only did I know that I would make it to the end, but I also knew that I would definitely be the champion!"

Situ Linyu's expression was calm, and his words were filled with confidence.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and a hint of battle intent could be seen in his eyes.

He had thought that with his strength, he would be able to easily win first place and receive a generous reward.

He did not expect that Chen Yu would meet an opponent that he thought highly of. Since that was the case, he would fight with all his might.

"However, I don't know why you're so confident to fight me."

Situ Linyu stared at Chen Yu with his deep eyes.

The two of them stared at each other from afar.

Suddenly.

Roar!

Accompanied by a strong gust of wind, Chen Yu was like a pitch-black beast, and he attacked first.
