Chapter 300 -0296: Accepting the Challenge
"May I ask, why aren’t the natives of the secret realm allowed to enter our world?”
Chen Yu was curious about this.
"This is an imperial command issued by the Yun Zhao Royal Family, the specifics of which I am not clear on,”
The bearded elder pondered before saying.
"Yun Zhao Royal Family?”
Chen Yu showed a hint of surprise.
He hadn’t expected that even the Yun Zhao Royal Family would intervene in the managent of the academy’s secret realm.
Without further questions, Chen Yu left the place.
"Heh heh, to you people from the Kunyun Continent, those small spaces and small worlds are akin to a slave world. How could soone from a slave world possibly go to a higher world without permission!” the Red Fla King communicated with a laugh.
"Slave world?”
Chen Yu looked shocked.
He hadn’t expected that there was such a relationship between the Red Earth Secret Realm and the Kunyun Continent.
"That’s right, for all you know, your Kunyun Continent might also be a slave world!”
Continued the Red Fla King.
"That’s impossible.”
Chen Yu didn’t believe it; the Red Fla King was known for boasting without drafts, which was unreliable.
Next, Chen Yu went to the mission commissioning office to delegate his task from the Red Earth World.
Twenty jin of Fire Spirit Ore was just enough to complete the basic task. If he could secure Fire Spirit Crystal Ore, the reward for the task would double.
Therefore, Chen Yu received thirty thousand No Demon Points and three thousand low-grade Primordial Stones.
"These No Demon Points and Primordial Stones are nowhere near enough. I need to find an opportunity to trade the resources I have.” In the Red Earth World, Chen Yu had obtained a large number of fire cores, along with high-grade fire ores and ancient fire materials. In the last battle, he had also scavenged quite a few storage bags.
Most of these items were very precious; it would be better to trade them at a special ti to make more.
Afterward, Chen Yu returned to his cultivation cave.
He imdiately began closed-door cultivation.
The world energy in the Red Earth World was thin, making cultivation inefficient. With Chen Yu’s talent, progress was especially hard to co by.
Therefore, while in the Red Earth World, he was always refining his body.
Now back at the academy, he had to catch up and raise his cultivation level.
Circulating the Yuan Sha Divine Skill, Chen Yu’s spirit and body released a terrifying surge of Evil Qi.
In the Red Earth World, most of Chen Yu’s ti was spent in battle. The number of Fire Beasts that died by his hand was countless, and the Evil Qi grew even more imnse.
Hum-hum!
Within the cave, the imnse Evil Qi twisted and churned violently.
Ten days later, the Evil Qi transford into a fierce giant python, coiling and twisting, looking utterly terrifying.
Compared to before, Chen Yu’s Evil Qi was now more condensed and posed no harm to his body or spirit.
Furthermore, the condensation of Evil Qi boosted his Evil Technique.
After refining and condensing the Evil Qi, Chen Yu began to absorb the vast world energy within the cave.
Nearby,
The Iron Moon Strange Insect burrowed within the Demon Bone Stone, drawing the essence of its demonic aura.
Currently, the Iron Moon Strange Insect primarily fed on Demon Bone Stone. Its cultivation was nearing the Innate Middle Stage, and it had beco even more savage and frenzied than before, with a stronger aggression.
As for the Red Fla King, although he seed to be sleeping and resting, he was actually cultivating too.
Around his body, a world energy vortex even larger than Chen Yu’s had ford, with a trendous amount of world energy continuously flooding into his body.
…
Demon Fire Peak.
Swoosh!
A figure swiftly darted in and entered a room.
"What’s the matter?”
Inside the room, a well-built youth opened his eyes.
"Senior Brother Luo, Chen Yu is back.”
The person bent over and said.
"What!”
Luo Haotian imdiately stood up, an overbearing and tyrannical aura emanating from his body, making the whole space oppressively tense.
"Have those idiots not co back yet?”
Luo Haotian’s face turned grim. He had sent three at the Early Innate Stage and three at the Innate Middle Stage into the Red Earth Secret Realm to kill Chen Yu.
Yet, now, Chen Yu was back, alive and well.
How could Luo Haotian not be enraged?
"Not yet. The death rate in the Red Earth World has been extrely high recently. If they don’t return within a month, they are likely dead.”
"You may go now.”
Luo Haotian waved his hand dismissively.
Logically speaking, even if the death rate in the Red Earth Secret Realm had increased, the chances of a six-person team at the Innate Stage falling were still quite low.
Considering the size of the Red Earth Secret Realm, Dou Nanhua would have found Chen Yu within three months.
So there seed to be only one other possibility—Dou Nanhua and the others had encountered Chen Yu and, ultimately, Chen Yu had erged alive while they had perished.
Another place.
No Demon Academy, Demonic Qi Pool.
Around the peripheral of the Demonic Qi Pool were students at the Postnatal Late Stage or Early Innate Stage, each tightly gripping their roots, drawing in the demonic aura from within the pool.
The closer to the center, the more violent the demonic Qi beca in the black liquid, and fewer students approached.
It was evident that near the center, there was only one person.
His face chiseled, his deanor cold and icy.
The boiling black liquid around him ford streams of black water, which whirled up and covered his body, making him appear like a nefarious and ruthless Demon Lord.
This person was none other than the top student of the Wind Demon Academy, known as mad demon Ren Han.
"Senior Ren, Chen Yu has returned!”
Not far away, a student from the Devil Wind Institute called out softly.
With his Postnatal Middle Stage cultivation, he dared not move any closer to the center.
"Oh? He’s back?”
Ren Han opened his cold and pitch-black eyes, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
At the sa ti, many instructors also received the news.
After all, Chen Yu was the top newcor of this term and a key person of interest.
…
Chen Yu returned and imdiately began his retreat.
His cultivation had always been his shortcoming, and this retreat lasted three months.
In his cave abode.
Woom, woom!
The spiraling Evil Qi python twisted around Chen Yu as its center, gradually disappearing as if it were burrowing into his body.
"Postnatal Peak now, just one step away from Innate!”
Chen Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.
Perhaps after staying in the Red Earth World for too long, upon returning to the No Demon Academy, where the vital energy was so abundant, Chen Yu found his cultivation particularly smooth and advanced by leaps and bounds.
If he wanted to, he could retreat for a while longer and was fairly confident that he could advance to Innate.
But Chen Yu decided to hold off for now.
"Eh, this fellow is nearly at the Postnatal Late Stage!”
Chen Yu glanced at the Red Fla King.
You must realize, this was the No Demon Academy’s Blood Slaughter Peak, the training environnt suited for cultivators of the Blood Path and Evil Path.
Yet the Red Fla King, who cultivated the Fire Dao, in such an environnt, managed to improve his cultivation at a pace that was no weaker than Chen Yu’s.
"That’s good, it saves a batch of resources!”
Chen Yu curled his lips.
"What did you just mutter, you little brat?”
The Red Fla King heard what Chen Yu just said, stopped his cultivation, and spoke in a low voice.
"Hand over all the fire cores you obtained in the Red Earth World, and let this king quickly advance his cultivation. Then, with this king covering for you in this academy, you will have nothing to be afraid of!”
The Red Fla King stood up, speaking rather arrogantly.
All the Fire Beasts in the Red Earth World were transford from demon beasts by absorbing the power of the Red Fla King.
Thus, the fire energy within the fire cores was essentially the power of the Red Fla King.
Should the fire cores be handed over, the Red Fla King could virtually directly absorb them and rapidly increase his cultivation.
Naturally, Chen Yu would neither believe the Red Fla King’s words nor allow this to happen.
"Aren’t you very capable? Find a way to quickly enhance my cultivation strength. Only when my cultivation is high will I feel reassured to let your cultivation advance.”
Chen Yu said with a smile.
The Red Fla King, at his peak, was certainly very powerful. His mory was a treasure trove.
"With that Spiritual Body aptitude of yours, reaching the Guiyuan Realm in this lifeti would be a gift from the heavens.”
The Red Fla King bluntly jeered.
If it were before, Chen Yu might have nodded in agreent, but not now.
His Master, Mao Qiuyu, once said that with his aptitude, aspiring to reach the Qi Transformation Realm was wishful thinking, yet now Chen Yu not only advanced to the Qi Transformation Realm but was also only a step away from Innate.
He believed that everything was up to human effort.
Without dwelling on it with the Red Fla King, Chen Yu ended his retreat and left the cave abode.
The Copper Statue Technique had reached the True Copper Statue level, and the fourth Ice and Fire Body Tempering Formula was basically useless now. He needed a higher-level formula.
The fifth formula listed, primarily using the power of thunder and lightning to temper the true body, Chen Yu dubbed it the “Thunder Lightning Formula.”
The main ingredients for the Thunder Lightning Formula were Thunder Stone, Electric Fluid, and Thunder Iron Claw.
Among them, the Thunder Stone was the most important ingredient. Due to its rarity, it could be substituted with the sowhat more common Thunder Light Grass.
But to Chen Yu’s surprise, he obtained a piece of Thunder Stone from the hands of Puppet Master Kong Zhong.
And the Thunder Iron Claw could also be replaced with other hard parts from thunder-attribute demon beasts.
Chen Yu did not have any of the ingredients listed in the fifth formula, and the ingredients were a level more valuable than those of the fourth.
He planned to check the Wumo Sub-Hall to see if he could collect so.
Just having left his cave abode, Chen Yu saw a figure not far away.
The person had an ugly face and a bent left leg; it was Yan Boqing of the Blood Eagle Leg.
"Chen Yu, you hiding turtle, you’ve finally dared to co out!”
Yan Boqing snorted coldly.
"Who is hiding from you?”
Chen Yu sneered in disdain.
His trip to the Red Earth Secret Realm was to avoid Ren Han.
"Heh, won’t admit it? If you have the guts, settle it with on the Life and Death Platform!”
Yan Boqing laughed loudly.
From the newcor competition to now, he had not caught a single opportunity. He firmly believed Chen Yu was deathly afraid of him and so constantly dodged him.
But Chen Yu just wouldn’t admit it, making Yan Boqing think Chen Yu was too cowardly.
"Fine, then I’ll just play with you!”
Chen Yu said expressionlessly.
"Eh?”
Yan Boqing suddenly paused.
He had ntioned the Life and Death Platform offhandedly, thinking Chen Yu was afraid of him. Chen Yu’s denial ant he wanted to force an admission from him.
Being at the Innate Middle Stage, he couldn’t possibly push a Postnatal Stage student to the Life and Death Platform, as news of that would only invite ridicule.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yu took his casual remark seriously and even agreed to it.
"Alright, you said it!”
Yan Boqing’s face lit up with joy.
"Let’s talk about it tomorrow, I’m busy today!”
Chen Yu said, still expressionless.
"Fine, kid, you said it yourself. I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow!”
Yan Boqing was quite pissed off by Chen Yu’s attitude, but the thought of Chen Yu already agreeing to face him on the Life and Death Platform made it alright.
This ti, Yan Boqing left in a good mood without lingering.
"You little rascal, always bullying others.”
The Red Fla King glanced at Chen Yu.
"He’s asking to bully him, look how happy he is!”
Chen Yu spread his hands.
He and Blood Eagle Leg actually had no real conflict.
It was solely the Blood Eagle Leg, pushing and pestering over a trifle matter. The more Chen Yu gave in, the more persistently he was chased, so if that was the case, Chen Yu decided to oblige Blood Eagle Leg.
Afterward, Chen Yu hurried to the Wumo Sub-Hall.
After looking around, Chen Yu only managed to buy so of the ingredients for the Thunder Lightning Formula.
Even just a small part caused Chen Yu to almost deplete the thirty thousand No Demon Points and three thousand Grade Essence Stones he had just acquired.
"Right, going through the Ten Thousand Demon Tower yields plenty of No Demon Points, last ti I only reached the twentieth floor!”
With this in mind, Chen Yu hurried toward the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
The last ti he only reached the twentieth floor, he acquired nearly fifty thousand No Demon Points.
Now, short on No Demon Points, he decided to give it another try.
