Chapter 364

Chen Yu arrived at the trading area of the Limitless Hall and purchased some body tempering and cultivation enhancing elixirs.

"There's basically nothing left for me to do. I will stay in the school and focus on cultivation to increase my strength."

After purchasing some items, Chen Yu returned to his residence.

With his current strength, he could still deal with a regular early stage Origin Realm expert. But if he were to encounter a peak early stage Origin Realm expert, it would be hard to say.

Furthermore, he was being targeted by the Yunzhao Nation's Sect and was in great danger.

Therefore, Chen Yu decided to go into seclusion in the school to increase his cultivation level.

Strength was the only guarantee!

After returning to his residence, Chen Yu began his seclusion.

Firstly, he consumed a cultivation enhancing elixir and began to consolidate his cultivation level.

Next, he circulated the Qi of Demonic Patterns and tempered his body.

Using one's own qi to torture one's body was an extremely painful thing. Fortunately, Chen Yu had come this far and did not hesitate to temper his body.

One month later, Chen Yu's cultivation level was completely stabilized and showed signs of increasing.

Immediately after, Chen Yu went to the Demonic Qi Pool and cultivated the .

For the first two stages, Chen Yu only needed to convert the original Pure Aura Qi into Qi of Demonic Patterns. Therefore, it was relatively easy. But when all the Pure Aura Qi was converted, Chen Yu could already feel his cultivation speed slowing down.

However, Chen Yu's body-tempering cultivation speed had always been relatively fast. However, this cultivation technique was a fusion of demonic arts and body-tempering. When his True Qi cultivation speed slowed down, it would also be a burden on his body-tempering.

"It is indeed one of the top ten ancient mystical techniques. The difficulty is abnormally high."

Chen Yu did not give up.

Although this technique was extremely difficult to cultivate, the effect of mastering it was incomparable to normal techniques.

It could be said that if Chen Yu did not change to the before the grand competition, it would be hard for him to achieve a good result in this year's grand competition.

In the center of the Demonic Qi Pool, there was only Chen Yu. His entire body was covered in black liquid and the surface was constantly bubbling.

Cultivating in the Demonic Qi Pool would not only increase one's cultivation speed, but it would also improve one's physique tempering.

Two months later, Chen Yu finished consolidating the third level of the Sky Demon Secret Pattern Record, Xiaocheng, and began to break through.

Chen Yu focused on cultivating and ignored the outside world. Time passed like water.

…

In the south of Yun Zhao Nation, there was a valley that was shrouded in fog and cold air.

Hu hu!

Two gloomy and gloomy flames flickered in the cold wind, faintly revealing the silhouette of a huge ancient palace, giving people an eerie feeling.

Boom!

A tremor suddenly came from inside the ancient palace.

"What did you say? Ren Han is dead? "

In a large hall, a middle-aged man with a face as tough as a statue and a slight resemblance to Ren Han roared.

Boom!

A massive wave of demonic qi spread out from the man's back, twisting and jumping in the air, giving off a terrifying aura.

"Yes … Elder Ren, your son's identity was exposed in the competition and he was killed. His head is still hanging in the square of the Demon-Free Academy."

Down below, a young man in black tight-fitting clothes was shivering.

"What!"

Elder Ren's eyes widened, as if he was about to devour someone. He reached out his palm.

Instantly, a formless black demonic qi was released and wrapped around the young man. It grabbed him by the neck and lifted him into the air.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a strange blood-red light appeared in the hall, and a figure quickly appeared within it.

It was a graceful woman with long blood-red hair. She wore a blood-red dress that had a strange and lifelike pattern of a blood moon engraved on it.

"Elder Ren, why are you so angry?"

The crimson-haired woman said in a seductive voice.

Elder Ren's eyes focused as he gradually calmed down.

"Who is it? Who killed my son? "

Elder Ren bellowed.

This time, many geniuses from the four academies had died. It was a great harvest.

However, his son had died a horrible death in the competition. His joy was instantly replaced by anger and hatred.

"It's a student from the Demon-Free Academy called Chen Yu, and he came first in the competition!"

Even though the young man's neck was being grabbed, he could still speak.

"Chen Yu! First in the competition? "

Elder Ren's expression darkened as he recalled something.

Didn't Ren Han send someone to assassinate Chen Yu? But it had failed.

"I've heard of him before, he's the new disciple of the Demon-Free Academy's Vice Principal. He's not even twenty yet, but he came first in the competition!"

The crimson-haired woman seemed to be intrigued.

"I don't care who he is, I'll kill him for killing my son!"

Elder Ren's eyes flickered.

BANG!

The black demonic qi dispersed, and the young man in black fell to the ground. He quickly knelt down as he was afraid of angering Elder Ren.

"Elder Ren, don't be too agitated. When I first heard of him, he was only at the initial stage of the Xiantian Realm. When he participated in the competition, his cultivation level shouldn't be at the peak stage of the Xiantian Realm. Furthermore, he's not even twenty yet, which means he's obviously a lucky person. It's better not to antagonize such a prodigy. If we can rope him in, wouldn't it be more beneficial to our organization and the league's plan? "

The crimson-haired woman said with a smile. Her voice was like a demonic tune, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Hmph, what's the use of roping in a person who hasn't even reached the Origin Realm?"

Elder Ren's expression turned cold.

In fact, he already had the intention to kill Chen Yu, but he couldn't refute the crimson-haired woman in front of him.

"Elder Ren, don't be rash."

The crimson-haired woman advised again.

"Hmph!"

Elder Ren grunted and didn't say anything else.

…

Demon-Free Academy. Chen Yu had nothing else to do and decided to go into seclusion. A year passed by quickly.

In this year, Chen Yu's cultivation level had increased to the late stage of the Xiantian Realm and the third rank of the 《Sky Devil Secret Pattern Record》 was at the completion stage.

On his chest, the third magic pattern was already halfway formed.

When this magic pattern was completely formed, Chen Yu would be able to cultivate the corresponding combat skill of the third magic pattern.

"During this period of time, my sword skills have fallen behind."

Chen Yu sighed and took out a golden token from the Mist Spitting Pearl.

"I'll go forge a supreme grade artifact and cultivate my sword skills at the same time."

Thinking of this, Chen Yu left his residence.

As one of the four major academies, the Demon-Free Academy didn't only have Array Masters and Elixir Masters, they also had Blacksmiths.

On this day, Chen Yu arrived at the blacksmithing ground of the Demon-Free Academy.

From afar, Chen Yu could feel a scorching aura coming from a valley far away.

Outside the valley, there were four guards. At this moment, the four guards were talking to a woman in white.

"Miss Shang, please!"

The four guards had smiles on their faces as they opened the array formation barrier.

This woman was Shang Han, the number one beauty of the Demon-Free Academy.

However, when Shang Han noticed Chen Yu, she was stunned and her expression was very unnatural. For a moment, she forgot to enter the valley.

"This is a blacksmithing ground. Unauthorized people are forbidden to enter?"

Seeing Chen Yu walking over, the four guards stopped Chen Yu.

Moreover, the four guards noticed Shang Han's expression. It seemed that she knew Chen Yu and their relationship wasn't very good.

"This is not a place for you!"

A guard shouted loudly and strode over with a dignified and slightly ferocious expression.

Since Shang Han didn't like this kid, they naturally had to seize this opportunity to show off.

Chen Yu glanced at the four of them. It seemed that they had been guarding this place for a long time and hadn't come into contact with the outside world. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to talk to him like this.

Chen Yu couldn't be bothered to say more and took out a golden token.

The moment the token appeared, the eyes of the four guards trembled. Shang Han's bright eyes also flickered with envy.

The golden token meant that she could ask the blacksmiths of the Demon-Free Academy to customize a supreme-grade weapon for her.

"Please forgive me if I offended you just now."

The guard who yelled at Chen Yu immediately cupped his fists and said.

Chen Yu ignored Shang Han and went through the barrier first.

Then, Shang Han followed suit.

"That young man looks familiar!"

One of the guards said.

"To have a golden token at such a young age, that's not normal … I remember now, he's Chen Yu!"

"Chen Yu? Are you talking about the prodigy who won first place for our academy in this year's competition? "

"Oh my god, I just shouted at the strongest prodigy of our academy!"

The guards were shocked and broke out in cold sweat.

They had been guarding this place for a long time and only heard some news occasionally. Otherwise, they would definitely recognize Chen Yu.

Inside the canyon, rows of palaces and pavilions were built on the walls.

In the middle of the canyon, there was a huge palace that looked like a furnace with flames burning fiercely.

Chen Yu and Shang Han walked in one after the other.

As soon as they entered, they saw a few figures bustling about.

"Shang Han, you're here."

A bald old man saw Shang Han and walked over while wiping a golden spear tip in his hand.

"Uncle Liu, I'll have to trouble you this time."

Shang Han let out a smile.

The profession of blacksmiths was special. Even though Shang Han was a prodigy of the Shang Clan, she had to be polite to a top-notch blacksmith.

Moreover, this bald blacksmith had some ties with the Shang Clan, so Shang Han could ask him to forge a weapon for her at a lower price.

"What do you need? Let me hear it."

The bald blacksmith asked casually.

"I want to customize a supreme-grade defensive armor."

Shang Han stated her request.

The bald old man's face darkened slightly.

Blacksmiths were a very respectable profession. Under normal circumstances, they would forge weapons based on their interest and were not afraid that no one would want them.

In the eyes of blacksmiths, the most troublesome thing was custom-made weapons. Some students had too many requests that did not conform to the principles of forging, causing the forging process to be very slow and the end product to not be very good.

Thus, most blacksmiths did not like to customize weapons for others.

Moreover, Shang Han was a female. Females would usually request beautiful, soft and comfortable armor, which was very troublesome.

"Uncle Liu, my father asked me to bring you a 'Jade Toad Stone'."

Shang Han immediately took out a jade-like ore from her storage bag.

The bald old man's eyes flickered and his expression softened as he took the Jade Toad Stone.

"What do you want?"

The bald old man's gaze landed on Chen Yu who was not far away.

"I'm here to customize a supreme-grade weapon."

Chen Yu answered honestly.

"Custom-made supreme-grade weapon!"

The bald old man's face darkened as he was slightly annoyed.

Custom-made weapon again!

Now, the more he looked at Chen Yu, the more he disliked him.

Whoosh!

To avoid trouble, Chen Yu immediately took out a golden token.

"Alright, follow me."

When the bald old man saw the golden token, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

The two of them followed the bald old man to a huge stone platform.

"Tell me the type, attributes and characteristics of the weapon that you want to customize!"

The bald old man looked at Chen Yu and Shang Han.

Shang Han was a member of the Shang Clan. Moreover, he had received some benefits, so he would take care of her.

As for Chen Yu, he could only do it perfunctorily. After all, custom-made two supreme-grade weapons were extremely taxing and troublesome.
