How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 235 - 0231: Advancement, Confirming the Academy

Copper Statue Gang Body Small Success.

After achieving early success with the Copper Statue Gang Body, Chen Yu focused on the "Yuan Sha Divine Skill," secluding himself for nearly a month in an attempt to make a breakthrough to the Postnatal Middle Stage.

At this time,

over two months had passed since the hunting competition.

Sigh~

One day, Chen Yu walked out of his room, his aura even more restrained and profound.

"I was so close to breaking through to the Postnatal Middle Stage," he said nonchalantly, unaffected by honor or disgrace.

The effects of a Demon Soul Pill were undeniably potent and extraordinary, typically suitable for only one use at the Qi Transformation Realm level.

The pill even hastened Chen Yu's advancement to early success in the Gang Body.

However,

his attempt to ride that momentum into the Postnatal Middle Stage failed just short of success.

He wasn't surprised or disappointed by the outcome.

For one, his lower-grade Spiritual Body talent was merely adequate, far from matching those of true Spirit Body prodigies.

Secondly, after the Qi Transformation Realm, advancing in realms would require years of accumulation.

At this level,

small realm advancements were generally reckoned in years; it was normal for those of average talent and without great opportunity to not advance for a decade or more.

By comparison,

it had only been a few months since Chen Yu had advanced to the Qi Transformation Realm, not even half a year.

Although he hadn't succeeded in progressing further,

he felt that his Cultivation Technique, the purity of his True Qi, and other aspects had reached a peak.

Perhaps in a few days, or maybe in a few months, he could advance at any moment.

Chen Yu had ended his seclusion today because the enrollment for the "Four Great Academies" was less than a month away.

That very afternoon,

he met with Ye Luofeng.

After Ye Luofeng had advanced to the Innate stage and consolidated her power for half a month, she had already ended her seclusion.

"In three days, I will set out early for the 'Sky Sword Academy'," Ye Luofeng announced her plans.

Her clear eyes shone with a complex emotion difficult to name as they swept past the youth who had accompanied her in battles across ancient lands.

"At least you've set your goal; I haven't decided on a final academy yet,"

Chen Yu waved his hand slightly, expressing a hint of envy.

Without much conversation,

they parted ways in such an indifferent manner.

"Isn't there even a simple farewell or blessing among friends?"

Ye Luofeng watched him leave, biting her lower lip in a slight annoyance as she stomped lightly.

After all,

she had proactively given her first kiss of significant personal meaning to him, yet he seemed to act as if nothing had happened.

Or perhaps,

he truly regarded that kiss as nothing more than a simple wager, with no further thought.

But the fondness and appreciation that had previously been clear in his eyes were unmistakably genuine.

Suddenly,

Ye Luofeng felt a twinge of envy toward Chen Yu for his ability to be so carefree, to easily let go, and to have such an open-minded attitude.

What she didn't know was

the real reason wasn't just Chen Yu's carefree nature.

That kiss was far from his first and he was no longer a virgin.

This was unlike Ye Luofeng, whose first experience at eighteen had been initiated by herself, and as a woman, she was naturally more sensitive to such matters.

…

After parting with Ye Luofeng, Chen Yu returned to his residence.

On this occasion,

he had additional information at his disposal about Yunyang Academy and No Demon Academy.

Chen Yu first read about Yunyang Academy.

Officially named Yunyang Imperial College.

As the name suggests, it was an official academy established by the royal family of Yun Zhao Country, commanding significant influence throughout the ancient nation.

However,

the academy was predominantly open to members of the royal family, ancient clans, and some noble officials.

Students graduating from Yunyang Academy were given priority to serve Yun Zhao Country and were easily granted titles and ranks.

After a cursory review,

Chen Yu concluded that Yunyang Academy was the most comprehensive.

If No Demon Academy was representative of the sect era's heterodoxy and minor schools, and Sky Star Academy stood for orthodoxy and righteousness,

then Yunyang Academy encompassed the essence of both righteous and evil paths and even integrated and extended them.

Perhaps,

while it might not excel in any one path compared to the other three major academies, its comprehensiveness and all-around strength were the strongest.

"After all, it's the official academy of the ancient state," Chen Yu sighed softly.

Besides that,

Yunyang Academy epitomized the pinnacle of the ancient country in terms of "Bloodline Inheritance" and "Bloodline Secret Techniques."

Within Yunyang Academy, the proportion of bloodline talents was the highest.

At least half of the talents from the ten ancient clans would choose Yunyang Academy.

"Bloodline inheritance..."

Chen Yu thought of this and frowned slightly.

The bloodline absorbed by his heart could be used as Bloodline Source Power, but it would be depleted completely, and the method of replenishment was not yet clear.

This was not the same as a true bloodline inheritance.

If he chose Yunyang Academy,

it was possible that the experts there, who specialized in bloodline research, might see through his issues.

Including his dragon scale bloodline, most people couldn't identify it.

However, if he were at Yunyang Academy, there was no guarantee someone wouldn't recognize the connection to the Blood Dragon Beast, which could cause trouble.

"The secret of absorbing a bloodline should not be exposed," Chen Yu thought with concern.

Apart from that,

the constraints at Yunyang Academy were a bit stronger than those at the other three major academies.

For example,

to study the truly core esoteric teachings of the academy, one might have to swear loyalty to the royal family of Yun Zhao Country.

Alternatively, if one did not swear loyalty, learning such teachings might come at several times the price.

"The freedom at No Demon Academy is nicer," Chen Yu pondered as he finished reviewing the information on No Demon Academy.

Notably, a member of the Fu Family had indicated that No Demon Academy had a small amount of Body Cultivation legacy techniques.

Within No Demon Academy,

there was a technique proclaimed to be the "foremost defensive Cultivation Technique" of the Kunyun Continent since ancient times, listed among the ten unique skills of the ancient world.

Although not a pure Body Cultivation Technique, it was said to incorporate Body Cultivation legacies.

Upon reading this, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel thrilled.

Merging ancient Body Cultivation marvels that topped the defense techniques through the ages indeed made him yearn.

"I shall choose this institute."

Chen Yu's eyes flashed, and he finally made his decision.

The freedom offered by the No Demon Academy, with its minimal restrictions, was also a significant factor in his decision.

After deciding on the academy,

Chen Yu began to arrange his itinerary.

The No Demon Academy's admission assessment was still more than twenty days away.

Since Chen Yu had an invitation, he did not have to go through the previous rounds of screening assessments.

Moreover,

There was a Transmission Array in Yunlai Prefecture that could directly transport him to the No Demon Academy, which was very convenient.

Three days later, Ye Luofeng left the Fu Family and headed for the Sky Sword Academy.

Chen Yu began his quiet cultivation again.

This time, he did not limit himself to cultivating the Yuan Sha Divine Skill, nor was he insistent on advancing to the Postnatal Middle Stage.

Even so,

He devoted a greater part of his focus to quiet cultivation with the "Heavenly Heart Refining," in conjunction with the Moon Spirit Ore Mother.

As a result, half a month later,

During a routine practice of the Yuan Sha Heart Method, Chen Yu's True Qi flowed smoothly and unobstructed, clearing a large area of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians…

Buzz!

Inside the Qi Sea, the core of dark True Qi vibrated, with the surrounding Primordial Evil True Qi spinning rapidly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The essence, energy, and blood within his body swiftly poured into the Qi Sea, transforming into True Qi.

"The bottleneck has been broken."

Chen Yu showed an expression of joy, his essence, energy, and spirit highly concentrated as he held a genuine yuan stone in his hand, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Half a day later,

The space in Chen Yu's Qi Sea expanded nearly twice in size, and the group of Primordial Evil True Qi also expanded, appearing deeper and more profound.

This meant that Chen Yu had advanced to the Postnatal Middle Stage.

After this breakthrough,

Chen Yu discovered that the core of dark True Qi within the True Qi group emanated an aura of pressure that was even stronger than regular Innate True Qi.

It seemed

This dark True Qi grew stronger with the increase of his cultivation level.

"What exactly is this small cluster of dark True Qi?"

Chen Yu was always puzzled in his heart.

The day he broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm, he had triggered an Evil Qi phenomenon, attracting some Heaven and Earth essence, thus forming this cluster of black True Qi.

Chen Yu had suspected that it was "True Evil Qi" or perhaps the initial form of "True Evil Qi."

True Evil Qi is a special force formed in the Yuan Sha Divine Skill, where the Evil Qi is condensed to the extreme and merged with True Qi.

The power of this True Evil Qi far surpassed that of regular True Qi.

Several days later,

Chen Yu consolidated his current realm, only then did he successfully conclude his closed-door cultivation.

Inside a side hall of the Fu Family,

"Guest Chen is departing, eh! You've advanced…"

Family Head Fu Yuan exclaimed with surprise.

He clearly remembered it had only been half a year since Chen Yu had advanced to the Qi Transformation Realm; at most, it could be considered half a year. Such progress was truly astonishing.

It was hard to believe that this youth was merely a lower-grade Spiritual Body.

"Perhaps it's the effect of the Demon Soul Pill, or maybe it's good fortune from the last advancement to the Qi Transformation Realm…"

Chen Yu offered a slight smile.

Consecutive advancements to the Early Stage of Gang Body and the Postnatal Middle Stage had made his strength and foundation more profound.

Especially the advancement to the Postnatal Middle Stage had been quicker than expected.

Chen Yu analyzed that there were primarily three reasons for his swift progress: a solid foundation, the good fortune of advanced black True Qi, and the miraculous effects of the Demon Soul Pill, which could greatly increase his cultivation level.

Without one of these three, it would be difficult to advance.

However,

Chen Yu had overlooked an even more critical factor.

His mental strength was exceptionally powerful, surpassing that of an average person in the Innate stage, especially after absorbing the Blood Soul Bud and cultivating the "Heavenly Heart Refining."

"Junior is here to bid farewell to the Family Head, as I am about to head to the No Demon Academy."

Chen Yu stated his intention.

"The No Demon Academy? Be on guard against that Ancient Clan Luo Family. Luo Tianhao is a person who never forgets a grudge."

Family Head Fu Yuan kindly reminded him.

"I understand."

Chen Yu nodded and asked a few more questions before standing up to leave.

The next morning,

Chen Yu rode one of the Fu Family's flying creatures and once again arrived at the Yunlai Royal City.

The Yunlai Royal City had a vital area designated for Transmissions, capable of reaching the major royal cities of the thirty-six prefectures of Yun Zhao Country.

"Transmission to Tianhe Prefecture."

Chen Yu stood in a vast underground palace plaza, surrounded by heavily guarded soldiers.

His sharp senses even detected the presence of the Guiyuan Realm.

Within this underground palace, passages cut through in all directions, dividing into numerous Transmission plazas.

Each Transmission plaza featured a Transmission Array, corresponding to different destinations.

"One thousand lower-grade Primordial Stones."

A Law Enforcer collected the transmission fee from Chen Yu.

"That's really not cheap."

Chen Yu couldn't help but lament; this Transmission Array was certainly a money-maker.

One thousand lower-grade Primordial Stones equated to a hundred thousand lowest-grade Primordial Stones.

But had he not chosen to use the Transmission Array, he would have had to cross nearly ten prefectures; even if he rode a flying creature non-stop, it would likely take half a year.

Before long,

Some figures had gathered around the plaza for "Tianhe Prefecture."

This Transmission Array could transfer twenty people at once, much larger in scale than the one Chen Yu had used in the Moon Mine.

It was said,

Transmitting one person and ten people consumed a marginally different amount of Primordial Stones.

"Just one more to go."

The Law Enforcer in charge of the transmission murmured quietly.

Swoosh!

Just then, an ugly Black Robed Puppet Master sped over.

Hmm?

Chen Yu found the figure familiar—upon closer inspection, it was none other than the Wu Family's Guest Puppet Master.

"It's you?"

The Black Robed Puppet Master, seeing Chen Yu, paused slightly in his gaze.

"To the No Demon Academy?"

Before the Transmission Array was activated, the Black Robed Puppet Master couldn't resist giving Chen Yu another look.
