How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 228 - 0224: Luo Family Sends a Message
Chapter 228: Chapter 0224: Luo Family Sends a Message
“And my ‘No Demon Academy’ not only has a profound heritage but also creates generation after generation of Demon Lords in an environment of unbounded freedom and brutal competition…”
The man in the black cloak stood silently in the crowd.
His voice didn’t seem to come from his mouth, a distant and eerie sound echoing around Chen Yu’s ears.
Chen Yu’s eyes widened slightly, deeply feeling the strangeness and mystery of this peculiar person.
His gaze then fell upon the gray, sleepy mountain cat perched upon a bearded man’s shoulder.
This mountain cat reminded him of the “Dark Night Mountain Cat” that had momentarily shocked the audience at the hunting competition.
However,
This mountain cat was half the size. And the cat that day had blended into the dark night, making it impossible to discern its contours and details.
Others might have speculated but were unable to equate the two.
Chen Yu, however, had fought the Dark Night Mountain Cat up close and with physical contact.
His Spiritual Sense and even the keen intuition from his heart led him to a definite conclusion.
This smaller mountain cat in front of him was indeed the Dark Night Mountain Cat from that night!
Noticing Chen Yu’s expression and gaze, the man in the black cloak showed a hint of approval on his face.
“You have passed the preliminary assessment of the ‘No Demon Academy.'”
The man in the black cloak looked straight at Chen Yu.
Assessment?
Chen Yu suddenly remembered the attack from the Dark Night Mountain Cat that evening.
“If you wish, you may come to the ‘No Demon Academy’ at any time within three months, and upon your arrival, you will be exempted from most of the assessments, the same as the recommendation right from ‘Yunyang Academy.'”
With these words,
The man in the black cloak tossed out an ancient, dark Token.
Chen Yu reached out and caught the token.
As he held the ancient dark token in his hand,
There was a stir!
All the instructors from the various academies present changed their expressions.
“No Demon Academy!”
“This seems to be an invitation token from the ‘No Demon Academy.'”
These instructors showed apprehension and seemed fearful.
Chen Yu tucked away the Token.
His eyes swept over the crowd again, and his expression changed.
Where was the man in the black cloak now?
“Did any of you just see a man in a black cloak?”
Chen Yu asked via a transmission.
Around him, Ye Luofeng and several disciples of the Fu Family shook their heads in confusion.
Chen Yu felt a storm of surprises in his heart.
Could it be that the scene just now was only an illusion?
Or,
Was the man in the black cloak really standing among the crowd, invisible to others but visible only to Chen Yu?
“Elders, I have now received recommendations from both ‘Yunyang Academy’ and ‘No Demon Academy’ and am not considering other academies at this time; I hope you understand…”
Chen Yu clasped his fists, his face apologetic.
Upon hearing this,
The instructors from the various academies present hesitated briefly before sighing and leaving without any objection.
It seemed,
The daunting presence of Yunyang Academy and No Demon Academy was indeed very strong, and these academy instructors were self-aware.
“Brother Chen, you have actually obtained the recommendation rights from both Tianyang and No Demon Academy simultaneously.”
Fu Yanzi, awed and excited, exclaimed.
But amidst the joy, there was a hint of dimness in Fu Yanzi’s eyes.
The four top academies, being the epitome of Yunyang Academy, gathered the pride of the entire Ancient Clan.
Stepping onto such a grand stage,
Chen Yu’s life trajectory seemed to be getting further and further from hers.
…
“Fu Hong, what is this ‘No Demon Academy’ all about?”
Along the way, Chen Yu inquired.
“The ‘No Demon Academy,’ together with ‘Yunyang Academy,’ ‘Heavenly Sword Academy,’ and ‘Sky Star Academy,’ is one of the top four academies, specializing in various schools of inheritance, primarily in evil techniques and heterodox paths, but of course it also includes the top inheritances of orthodox Martial Arts and others.”
Fu Hong replied thoughtfully.
“Actually, given the Evil Technique you are cultivating, the ‘No Demon Academy’ is indeed suitable for you. However…”
Fu Hong added.
“Oh, but what?”
Chen Yu asked, interested.
“This academy’s predecessor is said to have been founded in alliance by some demonic sects of the Evildoer’s Path from the age of the sects ten thousand years ago.”
“As such, competition in this academy is even more brutal, with frequent injuries and fatalities, far less peaceful than the other three top academies…”
Fu Hong spoke with a sense of forbearance.
“Competition is brutal?”
Chen Yu murmured to himself, his heart showing no sign of retreat.
Reflecting on his experiences at the Yunyue Sect in Chu Country, including invasions by the Bone Demon Palace and killings in the Blood Burial Garden, he had contemplated those early sect days at the bottom tier.
During those years of adversity, as he walked this path towards the vast skies above,
It was this very career of hardship that caused Chen Yu to advance by leaps and bounds, advancing to the Qi Transformation Realm before the age of sixteen.
Competition at the No Demon Academy could be more brutal, but after all, it was still an academy. Compared to his tumultuous past, it should still be considered comfortable.
An hour later,
A group of young people from the Fu Family arrived at the Prince Manor at the center of the Royal City.
In front of the Prince Manor stood two groups of guards, all at the Peak of Organ Refining.
“Organ Refining gatekeepers.”
Chen Yu reflected inwardly.
He presented his Token, and a guard went in to announce their arrival.
Before long,
A portly middle-aged man, smiling, came out to welcome Chen Yu and the others inside.
“Lord Steward.”
The guards showed evident surprise.
The Steward, with considerable authority and status within Prince Manor,
That several youngsters could personally receive the Steward’s welcome was significant.
Chen Yu’s heart sensed that this seemingly harmless Steward was actually at the Innate Peak of cultivation.
His strength was probably even greater than Elder Mao’s.
Inside the Prince Manor, the view resembled that of another realm, with corridors carved with ancient dragons, small bridges over flowing water, and gardens abloom with hundreds of flowers, with the occasional sight of grand and luxurious halls.
Half a tea time later,
Chen Yu and his companions arrived in front of a heavily guarded pavilion.
“Secret Pavilion!”
The three characters on the plaque marked their destination.
“You each have an hour to select one secret teaching,”
the steward instructed, raising his hand.
Chen Yu, Ye Luofeng, and several Fu Family’s disciples entered the Secret Pavilion in succession.
The Secret Pavilion had only one level.
Its layout was similar to the Heavenly Martial Pavilion of the Yunyue Sect, however, the secret tomes collected here were far fewer.
“Heavenly Net Scattering Hand”: A Loose Hand Secret Skill, specialized in targeting the body’s weak points, with remarkable effects in subduing enemies; this secret technique can also temporarily stimulate one’s potential, amplifying strength by fifty to sixty percent.
“Windswift Sixteen Forms”: Contains sixteen forms of movement technique secret teachings, with each learned form increasing speed and agility by ten percent. Mastering all sixteen forms, in theory, could enhance the speed by 160 percent!
“Enchanting Sound”: A mental secret technique, merging psychic power with mesmerizing sounds, capable of disrupting one’s state of mind and also briefly inducing sleep, for interrogating enemies.
…
Each and every one of these secret teachings made Chen Yu’s heart stir with excitement.
Unfortunately, he could only select one.
Moreover, the books presented here were only introductions, making it impossible to learn any by stealth.
“The matter of immediate concern is I need to choose a flame control technique,”
Chen Yu curbed the longing in his heart.
True Fire Spirit Flames were the essence of earthly flames, making it difficult to find a good flame control secret technique.
Refining the “Blood Crystal Flame” could significantly increase Chen Yu’s trump cards.
He quickly glanced through the selections.
At last, Chen Yu found a flame control technique.
“Flame Control Technique”: Capable of refining and utilizing most True Fire Spirit Flames, it recorded the characteristics of some flames from the “True Fire Spirit Flame List.”
“True Fire Spirit Flame List?”
This was the first time Chen Yu had heard of this list.
He wondered if his “Blood Crystal Flame” was ranked on this list.
Without further hesitation,
Chen Yu chose the “Flame Control Technique” secret teaching.
This secret technique, aimed at rare True Fire Spirit Flames, definitely wouldn’t be found in the Heavenly Martial Pavilion of the Yunyue Sect.
What’s important was
this Flame Control Technique could refine and use most of the True Fire Spirit Flames.
Its versatility was quite high.
Before long,
Chen Yu, holding the secret teaching of the “Flame Control Technique,” walked out of the Secret Pavilion.
According to the rules of the Prince Manor,
each secret teaching had to be memorized on the spot and could not be passed on afterward.
Spending almost half a day,
Chen Yu memorized the “Flame Control Technique.”
His spiritual power was even stronger than an average person in the Innate Stage, making his memorization speed much faster than that of the Fu Family’s disciples.
“Blood Crystal Flame”: One of the holy flames of the Blood Path, ranked in the top hundred of the True Fire Spirit Flame List. This flame can ignite flesh and life, has a strong erosive force, and when killing powerful beings with ancient bloodlines, it can also enhance its own quality. Moreover, this flame can damage the soul, it’s an exceptional flame capable of attacking both the material and spiritual worlds…”
On the “Flame Control Technique,” Chen Yu saw the description related to the “Blood Crystal Flame.”
At first glance, being ranked in the top hundred might not seem high.
But this “True Fire Spirit Flame List” only recorded a few thousand True Fire Spirit Flames.
Those that were on the list were all exceptional True Fire Spirit Flames.
According to the list, throughout the entire Kunyun Continent, those that appeared and were ranked in the top hundred were extremely rare, and some were not pure or complete.
From this, it was clear just how precious and rare this “Blood Crystal Flame” was.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he had chosen the “Flame Control Technique.”
“Young Hero Chen, Lord Prince has requested your presence,”
the steward of the manor came with a smile when Chen Yu had finished memorizing the “Flame Control Technique” and was idly waiting for the other Fu Family disciples.
“Marquis Yunlai!”
Chen Yu did not dare to delay.
Putting aside Marquis Yunlai’s strength and status, after the hunting contest, the other party had made a move to repel the mysterious foreign powerhouse, allowing Chen Yu to escape a calamity.
In this regard, Chen Yu was indeed in debt to someone.
Before long,
in a secluded study, Chen Yu saw a handsome middle-aged man dressed in luxurious Yunlai robes.
“Greetings to Lord Prince,”
Chen Yu saluted.
“Here is the ‘Yunyang Academy’ invitation letter,”
Marquis Yunlai waved his hand.
A letter fell into Chen Yu’s hand.
After receiving the letter, Chen Yu did not immediately depart.
If it was just the invitation letter, the steward could have sent it over.

“Luo Haochen’s death; my men have investigated the site of the incident and preliminarily judged that the murderer is most likely that Blood Wing Clan powerhouse.”
Marquis Yunlai’s eyes were as calm as a lake.
“Thank you, my lord!”
Chen Yu showed a look of joy; this news was extremely advantageous for him.
“However, there was clearly a fierce battle before Luo Haochen’s death. Some details suggest that those from the Ancient Clan Luo Family will likely pursue this matter.”
Marquis Yunlai shifted the subject.
“A fierce battle? I did indeed have a fight with Luo Haochen over the Blood Dragon Beast Demon Core,”
Chen Yu nodded.
“From the details, in that battle, you were at least not at a disadvantage, even gaining the upper hand. Thus, it raises suspicions.”
“Doubts?”
Chen Yu’s heart went cold.
At that time, Luo Haochen had been turned into a bloody mush by the distant blood palm strike of a foreign power.
“One suspicion is your cultivation only at the Postnatal Early Stage, while Luo Haochen was the Postnatal Peak with an Ancient Bloodline.”
“In the end, you escaped unscathed, whereas Luo Haochen died.”
Marquis Yunlai spoke with a smile.
“Another doubt is that your history in Yun Zhao Country before this was a blank slate.”
“That would lead the Luo Family to suspect you of colluding with the foreign clan to kill Luo Haochen, or that you have defected to the foreigners.”
Hearing this, Chen Yu was shocked.
“But I killed the Blood Dragon Beast, and the foreign powerhouse pursued me for it; everyone has seen this,”
Chen Yu took a deep breath.
“Of course, I believe you. However, the relatives of the deceased may not. The Luo Family has sent word that they are about to determine the real culprit and will soon send someone through the Transmission Array.”
