Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System

Chapter 414 - 343: The End of Primitive Accumulation! Time to Start Fishing for Noobs!

From a god’s perspective, it looked like a drop of blood on white paper, with a thin ’tail’ extending from it, growing longer and longer.

As long as this tail stayed connected, the Flesh and Blood Power contained within the Corruption Fungus would continuously be available for Su Yuan’s use.

Under this nearly straight line, extremely rapid journey, the team quickly reached the center of the Eighth Layer.

There, a spiral staircase stretched straight to the sky.

Following the staircase, one could directly enter the Ninth Layer, or descend to the Eighth Layer.

However, to prevent students from different layers of the tower from visiting each other, the entrances and exits between layers in the tower were sealed, only to be opened when Xuan Haoran challenged the tower.

It was also here that Su Yuan’s team encountered two expected individuals.

They were Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai.

One of them stood on a kilometer-wide flesh fungus mat, while the other stood within an intangible Star Shattering Calm Realm.

The Corruption Fungus mat and the Star Shattering Calm Realm seemed like two adjoining territories, contending with and consuming each other.

However, it was clear that Guo Zhengyi’s strength, as the second in the Federation, was significantly stronger, and the flesh fungus mat had already invaded the Star Shattering Calm Realm, continuously advancing despite repeated shocks.

The expression on Jiang Taibai, who was at a disadvantage, was cold, and his eyes carried a hint of urgency.

Guo Zhengyi keenly captured the change in Jiang Taibai’s eyes and laughed:

"Old Jiang, didn’t we agree that I would be the Gatekeeper of this layer, and you and Lv Tianqiao would assist me in setting up the battlefield environment?"

"I know you and Lv Tianqiao both want to compete with me a bit before assisting, otherwise you wouldn’t be willing to quit the competition just like that."

"But normally, it takes both of you working together to match me, and now Lv Tianqiao is delayed. Why bother contending with me?"

"Why don’t you withdraw in this sword-testing competition, and we’ll compete another time?"

Jiang Taibai didn’t speak, but his flickering eyes showed he was thinking.

As one of the three giants of Evil Extermination University, he naturally didn’t want to give up the competition easily.

However, the gap in strength between him and Guo Zhengyi was undeniable and couldn’t be ignored.

After all, although he, Guo Zhengyi, and Lv Tianqiao were called the three giants, Guo Zhengyi ranked second in the Federation, while he was only twelfth, with Lv Tianqiao ranking only eighteenth.

A difference of over ten ranks; how could there not be a significant gap in strength?

Only by teaming up with Lv Tianqiao could he barely contend with Guo Zhengyi.

Yet, for some reason, there was no sign from Lv Tianqiao, who was supposed to meet at the center of the Eighth Layer.

Had she discovered some opportunity, or encountered an accident?

No... Impossible, a university student who completed the full Divinity Transformation Inheritance was a different existence altogether from one who hadn’t.

Once she invoked the Divine Control, she could take on all the other students on the Eighth Layer together. How could she possibly encounter an accident?

Just as Jiang Taibai was confused about Lv Tianqiao’s whereabouts and hesitating whether to cease fighting, a sudden figure appeared, interrupting his thoughts.

He and Guo Zhengyi looked towards the newcomer.

And it was none other than Su Yuan, the talented student from the Evil Extermination Department, whom he’d met not long ago.

"Junior Su Yuan? What are you doing here?"

Guo Zhengyi kindly reminded:

"You’re not yet at the level to engage in battles with old Jiang, me, and the others. Why not head to another area and spar with other senior juniors?"

"If you accidentally get involved, you could be seriously injured."

Jiang Taibai didn’t speak, but his intention was clearly aligned with Guo Zhengyi’s.

Su Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"I appreciate your concerns, Seniors, but I didn’t accidentally enter here; I came specifically looking for you two."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two giants of the Evil Extermination Department instantly focused.

They sensed a threat from Su Yuan’s tone.

At that moment, they noticed that beneath Su Yuan’s feet, blood was spreading continuously.

And within the shadow behind him, a long blood-colored path extended, leading who knows where.

"Is this... the Decaying Profound Light?"

Guo Zhengyi immediately recognized the source of the Corruption Fungus and exclaimed:

"You defeated a student who had completed the second stage of the Evil Extermination Department’s Divinity Transformation Inheritance?"

Guo Zhengyi was familiar with Su Yuan’s Human Pill Technique, as Su Yuan had displayed this miraculous Demon Technique during the monthly exams more than once.

Videos of Su Yuan’s monthly exams had already spread around the campus network, so it was impossible to hide from others.

So, did the Decaying Profound Light give Su Yuan the confidence to challenge him?

Guo Zhengyi shook his head with a smile, thinking that Su Yuan was fearless due to ignorance.

After all, he, Guo Zhengyi, had not only completed the full inheritance of the Decaying Celestial Monarch but pushed it to some extreme at the same grade.

Otherwise, how could he hold the second position in the Federation with the inheritance levels being roughly equal?

So from any perspective, Guo Zhengyi was in a superior position to Su Yuan, and it was impossible for Su Yuan to reverse the Celestial Spirit.

"Su Yuan, you have great talent, but you are still far from the day where you may challenge me. You should return to your own path for training first."

Guo Zhengyi advised kindly.

Su Yuan’s smile remained unchanged as he replied calmly:

"I think Senior Brother Guo has misunderstood something. I’m not merely here to challenge you, but to challenge both you and Senior Jiang simultaneously."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taibai’s brows furrowed tightly:

"Su Yuan, Guo Zhengyi has already advised you twice. Things happen in threes, so I hope you don’t make a mistake."

Su Yuan replied helplessly:

"It seems you two seniors don’t trust my strength. Well, let me show you some evidence..."

Saying this, Su Yuan clapped his hands lightly.

The next second, a slender, coldly sophisticated figure appeared behind him.

Upon seeing this very familiar figure, Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai’s expressions changed dramatically, blurting out:

"Lv Tianqiao!"

Indeed, the newcomer was Lv Tianqiao.

Moreover, Guo and Jiang could clearly see that under Lv Tianqiao’s gold-rimmed glasses, her eyes, which should have been full of elegance and wisdom, were now dull and vacant.

It was as if some power had controlled her.

And Lv Tianqiao’s clothes were completely changed from inside to out.

It made one wonder where her original clothes had gone, and what exactly had happened in the time she had lost them to end up in her current state.

"The three giants of Evil Extermination University are the three distinguished students who mastered the three complete Divinity Transformation Inheritances while still in school."

Su Yuan suddenly said without preamble.

As he spoke, he walked over to Lv Tianqiao’s side, lifted his hand to pinch the chin of this intellectual glasses-wearing girl, and activated Finger Spirit·Human Pill again.

Under the bizarre gaze of Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai, strands of Spiritual Light emanated from Lv Tianqiao’s body.

The aura of the girl with gold-rimmed glasses quickly weakened, and Su Yuan held a Golden Core that seemed as if pure gold, casually swallowing it.

"I’ve already consumed one such Elixir earlier."

Su Yuan said nonchalantly while fiddling with the Divine Defense Golden Core:

"So the current situation is, Senior Sister Lv is out of the competition, and I’ve taken over her Divine Control, the Divinity Transformation Inheritance."

"I am now one of the new three giants of Evil Extermination University. Isn’t it reasonable for me to challenge the other two giants?"

Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai exchanged glances, gripped by a strong impulse.

An impulse to cut Su Yuan down with a sword and rescue Lv Tianqiao.

Even though rationally they knew Su Yuan was their junior, emotionally, they felt he was a downright Demon.

A Demon far more evil than any they had encountered in the world occupied by the Demon Dao!

Driven by this emotion, Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai instantly snapped into combat mode.

"Su Yuan, you’ve gone too far!"

"We may not know how you tricked Lv Tianqiao to this state, but now that we’ve witnessed all this, we cannot allow you to commit greater evils!"

"Your demonic acts stop here!"

As they spoke, Guo Zhengyi’s Corruption Fungus mat and Jiang Taibai’s Star Shattering Calm Realm quickly moved to crush Su Yuan.
