"First place? No Devil Academy actually obtained first place in this year's College Tournament? "
"Did I hear it wrong? Chen Yu obtained first place? How is this possible? Chen Yu is only ranked 68th in the qualification contest. How can he defeat prodigies like Yuan Chen, Duan Xinyue, Ye Chengfeng, and Yun Haizhen to obtain first place? "
"That's right. The first place of the four major academies are basically equivalent to the initial stage of the Origin Realm. No matter how much improvement Chen Yu has, he shouldn't be able to defeat them all."
Those who didn't watch the tournament heard the news. Other than shock, there was only doubt and denial. They felt that it was impossible.
Some of the mentors who watched the tournament couldn't help but laugh. If they didn't watch the tournament personally, they wouldn't believe it either.
"Old Song, what is going on? Did Chen Yu really obtain first place? Is it because the tournament rules are different from the past, or did something unexpected happen during the tournament? "
An old man with a long beard walked over and asked a mentor who had been spectating the competition.
This long-bearded elder was a veteran mentor who was in charge of managing the teleportation array in the foreign domain.
The rest of the veteran mentors who stayed in the Devil Academy also came over and asked about the situation.
"This year's College Tournament, in the first segment, Chen Yu obtained second place. In the second segment, he first defeated Duan Xinyue, then Ye Chengfeng, and finally defeated Yun Haizhen, obtaining first place!"
Yi Lantian announced again. His words were short, but it was even more shocking.
This was personally announced by the Vice Principal. Could there be any mistake?
Once the announcement was made, the crowd went silent for a moment before it erupted again.
"Chen Yu actually defeated the first place of the four major academies. Even the talented, powerful bloodline and true fire Yun Haizhen lost? Doesn't this mean that Chen Yu already has the ability to defeat an initial stage Origin Realm martial artist? "
Among the group of teachers, Gu Lifu's beautiful face turned pale with disbelief.
In such a short period of time, Chen Yu actually grew to such an extent.
And she still hadn't broken through to the Origin Realm. This meant that she was no longer a match for Chen Yu.
Not only her, but most of the teachers in the college were no longer a match for Chen Yu.
Guliv was deeply hurt and disappointed. If she had known this would happen, she would have built a good relationship with Chen Yu when she first received him. In the future, as long as Chen Yu gave her a small favor, it would be enough to change the course of her life.
At the same time, the students who had offended Chen Yu before felt their hearts in their throats.
However, most of the students came to congratulate Chen Yu and curry favor with him.
Now that Chen Yu had created such a glorious achievement, it was hard to imagine how far Chen Yu could go in the future.
"Who would've thought that Brother Chen would be so courageous to be able to obtain first place in the Grand Competition."
Yang Zhang, who had a good relationship with Chen Yu in the early stages of the competition, sighed emotionally and laughed heartily.
"Chen Yu, come with me."
Yi Lantian said to Chen Yu. He released a powerful Quintessential Essence that wrapped around Chen Yu. They flew up and disappeared into the mist.
Yi Lantian's residence in the forbidden area.
"This is the reward of 055,555 Demonic Points!"
Yi Lantian casually took out a token and handed it to Chen Yu.
After taking the 055,555 Demonic Points, Chen Yu returned the token.
"You have so many secrets that even I don't know about them."
Yi Lantian said with a faint smile after the reward of the Demonic Points.
"I have too many treasures on me, so I don't dare to show them off."
Chen Yu grinned.
He had gone all out in this Grand Competition and used almost all his trump cards. Yi Lantian must have seen other things besides what he showed on the surface.
For example, Chen Yu's powerful recovery ability, special physique, bloodline, and so on.
Chen Yu had not told Yi Lantian about these things.
Yi Lantian nodded and did not continue to ask.
Everyone had their own secrets. If others were unwilling to tell him, he would not force them.
In addition, when he accepted Chen Yu as a disciple, he had also sent people to investigate Chen Yu's background. It was very blank, and he did not have any powerful backing.
At that time, if Chen Yu exposed all this, it would indeed be very dangerous.
"You won first place in this Grand Competition. You have gained a lot of glory and bountiful rewards, but at the same time, you have to bear a certain amount of risk."
Yi Lantian said again, a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Master, are you referring to the remaining forces of the Sect?"
Chen Yu asked.
"That's right. This Grand Competition ranks the geniuses of the ancient countries. However, for the remaining forces of the Sect, the ranking of the Grand Competition is equivalent to the assassination ranking!"
Yi Lantian's eyes turned cold.
From the first round of this Grand Competition, it could be seen that the remaining forces of the Sect had already infiltrated the various academies and even the royal family.
It was hard to imagine to what extent the hidden forces of the Sect had developed.
Chen Yu won first place in the Grand Competition with his cultivation at the peak of the Middle-stage Connate Realm. Such a result had almost made him the primary assassination target of the Sect.
"I understand."
Chen Yu nodded. He had thought about this as well.
However, if he did not fight for it, he would not even be able to enter the top ten in the second round. He would also not be able to get a single reward from the Grand Competition.
In this way, his overall progress would be greatly slowed down.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Yi Lantian asked.
"I plan to cultivate in the academy for two years and then leave Yunzhao Nation!"
Chen Yu answered truthfully.
There were two more years until the five-year promise between him and Ye Luofeng. When the time came, he would return to his hometown.
At this thought, Chen Yu could not help but think of his parents, the Yunyue Gate, and his Master, Elder Mao …
At the same time, Chen Yu also thought of Lu Tiezu. Lu Tiezu, the number one of the three sects who had forced him into a corner … He could not help but clench his fists.
"Oh? Leave Yunzhao Nation? "
Yi Lantian was slightly surprised.
Of course, when he first asked about Chen Yu's background, he knew that Chen Yu was not from Yunzhao Nation.
But this was good. After leaving Yunzhao Nation, Chen Yu's safety would be guaranteed.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave."
…
After bidding farewell to his Master, Chen Yu went to the Demonic Helplessness Hall.
"Chen Yu, what brings you here? Are you here to trade items or issue a mission?"
An old man came forward and greeted him warmly.
"Collect the reward for killing the infiltrator!"
As he spoke, Chen Yu took out a bloodstained cloth bag and a token.
This token was proof of Ren Han's identity as a member of the Sect.
"I see. The Demonic Helplessness Hall has already prepared the reward for you. We're even going to send it to you later."
The old man smiled with his eyes squinted.
Chen Yu was not used to the old man's attitude.
As the champion of the Grand Competition, there were many who wanted to get closer to him.
Chen Yu did not say much. He collected the reward and left.
"Two hundred thousand Demonic Points, fifty thousand low-grade Primal Stones, and one supreme-grade treasure crafting token!"
Ren Han's strength and influence in the Demonic Helplessness Academy was strong, so Chen Yu's reward was very generous, including two hundred thousand Demonic Points, fifty thousand low-grade Primal Stones, and one supreme-grade treasure crafting token.
Among them, what Chen Yu needed the most were the Demonic Points, and the most precious was the supreme-grade treasure crafting token.
With this token, he could find a master blacksmith in the Demonic Helplessness Academy to craft a weapon suitable for him.
After returning to his residence, Chen Yu began to sort out his spoils.
In the first round, Chen Yu had obtained a large number of valuable materials. Only a small portion of them could be used by him, and the rest could be sold and traded.
As for the rare ores, Chen Yu could use them to craft a better weapon.
In addition, Chen Yu also had a lot of spoils. There were more than a dozen upper grade treasures, and two supreme-grade treasures. If these things were sold, he could earn a generous amount of Primal Stones.
After that, it was Chen Yu's grand competition reward, one hundred and fifty thousand low-grade Primal Stones, one Energy Transformation Elixir, and one Spirit Weapon.
Chen Yu was still a distance away from the Origin Realm, so he could not use the Energy Transformation Elixir for the time being.
"[Mist Spitting Pearl]!"
Chen Yu took out a Cloud Pattern Pearl and began to refine it.
Once it reached the level of a Spirit Weapon, it needed to be refined in order to maximize the power of the Spirit Weapon.
Two days later, Chen Yu had completely refined the [Mist Spitting Pearl]. His qi could circulate in the Spirit Weapon at a faster speed, and his spiritual sense had a weak connection with the Spirit Weapon.
Chen Yu's spiritual sense entered the [Mist Spitting Pearl], and there was indeed a small space surrounded by clouds.
This space was as big as a small house, and it was many times bigger than the storage bag that Chen Yu was currently using.
"Let's try the effect of the [Mist Spitting Pearl]."
Chen Yu injected his qi into it, and suddenly, the surface of the Mist Spitting Pearl constantly emitted a white mist, and in a moment, it filled Chen Yu's courtyard.
Moreover, this kind of mist did not give people a strange feeling, and it felt like the real mist of nature.
Gradually, the mist spread out, enveloping Chen Yu's entire courtyard, and continued to expand outwards.
"The scope of the mist can reach at least a hundred feet!"
Chen Yu estimated.
This was still the case when he used the magic pattern qi. If he used half-step True Essence, the power of this Spirit Weapon would be fully exerted, and the scope of the mist would be even larger.
Moreover, when his spiritual sense penetrated into the [Mist Spitting Pearl], Chen Yu could directly see the things in this mist.
Outside.
Four or five students had come to visit Chen Yu.
Two days had passed since the Academy Grand Competition, and news of the competition had spread rapidly from Yunyang Sacred Prefecture.
The Sky River Prefecture was right next to Yunyang Sacred Prefecture, so it was only natural that they received the news immediately.
At this time, those who had been skeptical finally completely believed it.
Among the seniors of the Blood Evil Institute, there had been a group of people who had provoked and offended Chen Yu.
On this day, they had come to visit Chen Yu with generous gifts.
"Eh? What's going on? Why is there such a thick mist all of a sudden? "
"I can't see anything clearly."
"The Demon-Free Academy is located in a secret realm. Logically, the weather should not have changed so suddenly."
…
"Not bad."
Chen Yu smiled and put away the Mist Spitting Pearl.
At this moment, the students outside were shocked. Just a moment ago, the thick fog was so thick that they couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. In an instant, all the fog had disappeared.
"Brother Shi, this place is strange. Why don't we leave?"
The students were frightened by this scene and were ready to retreat.
At this time, Chen Yu took the initiative to walk out of the courtyard.
"Chen Yu …"
The few of them panicked.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Yu looked at these people, but he had no impression of them.
"Brother Chen, I am Shi Wei from the Blood Evil Institute. I failed to recognize you …"
A young man in black armor said with an awkward smile as he handed over some Primary Stones and Demon-Free Points.
Shi Wei had offended Chen Yu because of the cave abode. Later on, he had hired the Blood Devil Hand to deal with Chen Yu.
"Oh, don't take it to heart."
Chen Yu did not pay much attention to this matter.
Seeing that Chen Yu really did not mind, the young man in black armor left with the other students.
After walking out of the residence, Chen Yu heard that Ren Han's head had been hung in the central square of the Demon-Free Academy to show the prestige of the academy and intimidate the spies in the Sect.
