Chapter 303

Yuan Chen was the top student of the No Demon Academy and ranked third on the Sky List. He represented the top talents of Yunzhao Nation.

He surpassed Chen Yu in every aspect. As soon as his Ethereal Force was unleashed, Chen Yu's killer move disintegrated in an instant.

"He's too strong!"

Chen Yu sighed inwardly.

Even if he used the Blood Glazed Flame and the Dragon Scale Bloodline, Yuan Chen would still be able to defeat Chen Yu easily. As the top student of the No Demon Academy, Yuan Chen must have some trump cards.

The Crimson Flame King also took a few more looks at Yuan Chen.

Not far away, Yi Lantian nodded.

Chen Yu's performance was beyond his expectations.

He was only at the early Connate stage, but he was able to unleash the power of a peak Connate expert. It was indeed amazing. He was even more powerful than Yuan Chen.

However, Chen Yu's spiritual body was far inferior to Yuan Chen's, and the path of physical cultivation was even more difficult.

"Master, with Junior Brother's strength, he should be able to participate in the college tournament in a year's time, right?"

Yuan Chen asked.

Yi Lantian narrowed his eyes. He was silent for a moment, but did not answer.

"College tournament?"

Chen Yu did not know much about it.

However, looking at his master's expression, it seemed that his current strength was not enough to participate in the college tournament.

"The college tournament is jointly organized by the four major academies of Yunzhao Nation. All the academies in Yunzhao Nation are allowed to participate!"

Yuan Chen explained a little when he saw the puzzled look on Chen Yu's face.

"All the academies in Yunzhao Nation are allowed to participate?"

Chen Yu was taken aback. There were at least three to four hundred academies.

It seemed that he had underestimated the college tournament.

Three to four hundred academies, and all the academies would be sending out their elites. What a grand occasion it would be!

Chen Yu's blood boiled. He could not help but look forward to it.

"Chen Yu, if you can withstand twenty moves from Yuan Chen in a year's time, I will allow you to participate in the college tournament."

Yi Lantian suddenly said.

He had not expected Chen Yu to be so strong, so he had never thought of letting Chen Yu participate in the Academy Tournament. In addition, Chen Yu was still young, so he could wait for the next Academy Tournament. At that time, Yuan Chen would not be able to participate, and Chen Yu would become the strongest representative of Demon-Free Academy.

However, Chen Yu's performance had exceeded his expectations. He had already reached the threshold to participate in the Academy Tournament.

Therefore, he made a request to Chen Yu.

If Yi Lantian's disciple were to participate in the Grand Competition, he could not be overshadowed.

As the number one student in the academy, Yuan Chen had high hopes of obtaining first place in the tournament. If Chen Yu could withstand twenty moves from Yuan Chen, his results in the tournament wouldn't be too bad.

Yuan Chen was slightly taken aback. Was his master too strict with Chen Yu?

As the number one person in the Demon-Free Academy, his goal was to become number one in this year's Academy Tournament.

Just now, as soon as he used his half-step true essence, he could almost defeat Chen Yu.

It was easier said than done for Chen Yu to withstand twenty moves from Yuan Chen.

Moreover, as Chen Yu improved, Yuan Chen was also improving.

"Alright!"

Chen Yu nodded.

Yi Lantian was strict with him, which meant that Yi Lantian thought highly of him and did not want Chen Yu to become cannon fodder in the Grand Competition.

"Little Junior Brother, you have to work harder."

Yuan Chen smiled calmly and did not discourage Chen Yu. Instead, he encouraged him.

"If I want to improve my strength, which aspect would be more effective?"

Chen Yu took the initiative to ask with a serious expression.

It was definitely not an easy task to catch up with Senior Brother Yuan Chen's footsteps. In the next year, he had to work harder.

It might be better if he had a focus.

"You are very balanced in all aspects, and you have no shortcomings at all in terms of mental strength …"

Yi Lantian pondered.

Thinking about it carefully, this disciple of his was very outstanding in all aspects and had no clear shortcomings.

However, since his disciple had asked, he had to give an answer.

"Your secret movement technique, battle technique, and cultivation technique are all compatible with each other. Only your body tempering technique is out of the three."

Yi Lantian said calmly.

There was a certain connection between Chen Yu's Devilish Berserk Shadow, Demonic Demon Sword Art, and Primordial Fiend Divine Skill, and they could complement each other.

Although there was no conflict between the Bronze Statue Skill and these three martial arts, there was not much of a connection between them.

Relatively speaking, the Bronze Statue Skill was the problem.

However, Yi Lantian could tell that Chen Yu was the most talented in body cultivation, and the Bronze Statue Skill was more profound than the other three martial arts. This was a little difficult.

"Bronze Statue Skill?"

Chen Yu did not expect the problem that his master pointed out to be in this.

Yi Lantian was not saying that the cultivation technique was not good, but he was saying that if Chen Yu changed to a more suitable body tempering technique, there would be more room for improvement.

"Master, Junior Brother's talent in body tempering is so strong, he might be able to cultivate that mystical technique in the academy!"

Yuan Chen thought of something and said in an inquiring tone.

Chen Yu's eyes moved slightly. He had already guessed it.

Before choosing the academy, he had heard that there was a supreme mystical technique in the Demon-Free Academy that was known as the 'Number One Defensive Cultivation Technique'.

However, given his identity at that time, he did not have the authority to see this cultivation technique.

"The academy has a supreme mystical technique that combines the Devil Dao and the Dao of body cultivation. It is indeed suitable for you, but the difficulty of this cultivation technique is extremely high. Since ancient times, only a few people have managed to cultivate it completely. Almost all of them gave up halfway and there were many who suffered from Qi Deviation."

Yi Lantian said seriously.

Chen Yu was shocked. He had some desire for this powerful body tempering cultivation technique.

This was also the reason why he had chosen the Demon-Free Academy.

Among all aspects, Chen Yu had the highest talent in body tempering. He did not want to give up on such a powerful body tempering cultivation technique.

At the side, the Scarlet Flame King revealed a look of disdain.

He did not believe that there would be any powerful cultivation techniques in this small place.

"It's a pity that I don't have any body tempering cultivation techniques in my memory. Otherwise, it would definitely be more powerful than this so-called Number One Defensive Cultivation Technique. If that's the case, I can negotiate with this lad!"

The Scarlet Flame King sighed and thought to himself.

Yi Lantian's eyes moved slightly and he glanced at the Fire Scale Beast.

Yuan Chen also looked at the Fire Scale Beast again.

Not only could this spiritual pet understand their conversation, but its expression was also very strange. Its intelligence should be very high.

"Chen Yu, you have such a spiritual pet. If you cultivate it well, it will be a great help in the future."

Yi Lantian said.

On the side, the Night Lynx opened its sleepy eyes and glanced at the Fire Scale Beast. It did not care and continued to sleep.

"This little guy actually looks down on me!"

The Scarlet Flame King was very annoyed and glared at the Night Lynx.

Suddenly, the Night Lynx felt a little uneasy. Its sleepiness disappeared and it looked at the Scarlet Flame King seriously.

"Little Junior Brother's spiritual pet is not ordinary. Even Master's Lynx attaches so much importance to it."

Yuan Chen smiled.

Usually, this cat was not interested in anything and only knew how to sleep.

Chen Yu laughed dryly and secretly sent a voice transmission to the Scarlet Flame King to behave. If it was seen through, it would be bad.

Yi Lantian also felt strange and looked at the Fire Scale Beast a few more times.

"If you want to cultivate it, prepare 055,555 Demon Points. I can help you exchange for the first three levels."

Yi Lantian could see from Chen Yu's previous expression that Chen Yu was very interested in this Mysterious Art.

"055,555!"

Chen Yu's body trembled slightly.

Even when he was at his richest, he only had 625,555 Demon Points.

Master said that 055,555 could only exchange for the first three levels of this Mysterious Art.

"Haha, Little Junior Brother, this Mysterious Art is one of the top ten ancient Mysterious Arts. It combines Physique Cultivation, Demon Path, and combat skills. It is equivalent to an inheritance. Its value is immeasurable. If you are not a student of the Demon Academy, you can't buy it no matter how many Primordial Stones you have."

Yuan Chen smiled.

055,555 Demon Points was indeed a lot, but it was not expensive at all.

"Okay."

For the time being, Chen Yu gave up on this idea.

"Chen Yu, you may be my disciple and no one in the academy dares to provoke you. But once you leave the academy, you will be in greater danger. Let Master give you a gift!"

Yi Lantian suddenly said and then waved his sleeve.

Swish!

Without seeing Yi Lantian's action, a black and purple bead flew over.

"This bead contains Master's Qi Force. Its power can severely injure or even kill a normal Origin Realm."

Yuan Chen smiled and said.

Back when he became Yi Lantian's disciple, he had also received this bead.

Chen Yu solemnly stored it away.

This was a life-saving trump card that his Master gave him. If he used it well, it was even possible to kill an Origin Realm expert.

"Let's stop here for today. Now that you are my disciple, you can have your own courtyard. You can go to the Demon Less Branch Hall to choose."

Yi Lantian said.

After that, Chen Yu and Yuan Chen left the place.

"Junior Brother, Master is very secretive. If you need anything, you can look for me directly."

Yuan Chen had a smile on his face and was very caring towards Chen Yu.

"Definitely."

Chen Yu didn't stand on ceremony.

After leaving the restricted area, Chen Yu immediately went to the Demon Less Branch Hall of Blood Fiend Peak.

First, he received the rewards for challenging the tower.

From level 76 to level 86, Chen Yu received 655,555 Demon Points as a reward.

"If I sell all the resources that I have plundered from the Red Earth World, I should be able to gather 055,555 Demon Points."

This matter was put aside for now.

Immediately after, Chen Yu chose an individual courtyard.

The cultivation effect of a private courtyard was better than Chen Yu's cultivation cave abode and the environment was good.

After moving to the new residence, Chen Yu immediately went into seclusion for a period of time.

After all, he had just broken through to the Innate Realm not long ago. The effect of his cultivation was better now.

Ten days later, Chen Yu came out of seclusion.

He decided to wait for someone in the academy to hold a private trade fair before going to exchange resources for Demon Points.

Currently, he could earn Demon Points by completing tasks.

Moreover, he received a message on his token. It was the academy urging him to accept tasks.

After arriving at the Demon Less Branch Hall, Chen Yu accepted three tasks at once. These three tasks were of varying difficulty, but they were close to the academy and the targets of the tasks were all in the "Poison Fog Forest".

On the same day, Chen Yu set off for the Sky River Prefecture's Poison Fog Forest.

Although the Poison Fog Forest was not as dangerous as the Devil Bone Wasteland, it was shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round. Some areas would even suddenly produce special toxins that were impossible to guard against. It was also quite famous in the Sky River Prefecture.

Fortunately, Chen Yu's physique was strong. After taking the antidote, he was basically immune to the poisonous miasma.

After three days, Chen Yu completed the first collection task.

After another five days, he completed the second demonic beast hunting task.

The third was a bounty task. The target was a ruthless wanted criminal nicknamed "Poison Dragon".

After searching for ten days, there was still no clue.

However, in these ten days, Chen Yu collected many precious herbs.

"Eh? Found it! "

Suddenly, Chen Yu, who was in the middle of collecting precious materials, stopped his movements.

Through the vision of the Iron Moon Strange Bug, he saw a cave with a figure inside. The figure was very similar to the description on the bounty.
