Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 206 - 184: Facing Two at Once? Are You Out of Your Mind!

Wang Qiu, according to the agreement, stayed in the same spot until the exam time ended.

As for the other examinees besides Wang Qiu in this batch, they had all been eliminated by the Night Watchers an hour ago.

The second batch of external examinees was thus entirely eliminated.

The Night Watchers calmly awaited the next batch of examinees.

But when the list of the third batch appeared on the phones of the Night Watchers, many of their hearts sank.

"Xi Yu's Potential Index is 3.3, and Zhang Baiyi's Potential Index is 3.5. These two might not be any less than that Wang Qiu."

"In the same batch of examinees, to have two such top geniuses appear? The pressure we're facing this time might be quite substantial."

The sweet, yet worried voice of Cloud Spirit resounded in the Night Watcher channel.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then said:

"Don't be deceived by how easily I dealt with Wang Qiu; that's because I took out his biggest trump card from the start."

"If I'm not mistaken, if I hadn't schemed against Wang Qiu, he might have had the strength to kill many of us present instantly."

"Xi Yu and Zhang Baiyi being comparable to Wang Qiu suggests that besides their apparent Potential Index, they also have their own methods and hidden cards."

Xiao Meng inquired solemnly in the channel:

"So how do you plan to deal with these two? Are you going to let them pass?"

"No, we won't."

Su Yuan replied without hesitation:

"I'm fairly confident I can handle these two, but I need someone to go in first to test their hidden cards."

"The last fight with Wang Qiu was too risky. If I hadn't first trapped him financially, we might have capsized in a ditch. We can't make similar mistakes this time."

The Night Watchers: "..."

Though they didn't understand the correlation between trapping someone's assets and defeating Wang Qiu, they didn't have time to ask.

After a brief silence, Li Zhengxing's voice sounded in the channel:

"I can try to take on Xi Yu. She's a disciple of a Golden Core Doctor from the Myriad Beasts Demon Sect, quite likely a Beast Tamer."

"As far as I know, top-tier Beast Tamers can control Spirit Beasts with twice their own strength."

"The combat power of Spirit Beasts of this caliber is already close to Foundation Establishment. Without leveraging their power, no one can withstand them."

Before Li Zhengxing could finish, Xiao Meng added eagerly:

"Then I'll take on Zhang Baiyi."

"The Profound Art Celestial Sect prefers to recruit talents with skills in Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Talisman Dao, Array Dao, and so forth. I'll see what Zhang Baiyi is capable of."

These were previously the strongest high school students in Taihua City's top school, and they're still competing.

Their participation this time isn't just for scouting ahead for Su Yuan, they have their own agendas.

As geniuses, after undergoing harsh special training, their usual Potential Index nearly hits 3.0.

Once they employ their family secrets, it's not hard for their short-term Potential Index to surpass 3.5.

They don't just want to scout for Su Yuan; they also want to personally defeat the geniuses favored by the Ten Great Immortal Sects' Golden Core Doctors to prove themselves.

This is the pride of being a genius.

Su Yuan naturally supported their eagerness.

Having strategized, the Night Watchers split into two groups.

Su Yuan led a group to handle minor examinees, while Li Zhengxing and Xiao Meng proactively faced the two top prodigies.

Inside the large flying ship over Taihua City.

Seeing Zhang Baiyi and Xi Yu being blocked as soon as they disembarked, the Golden Core Doctors from the Profound Art Celestial Sect and Myriad Beasts Demon Sect were slightly surprised.

Master Bao glanced at the screen and said:

"Those blocking them are the scions of local prominent Li and Xiao families, right?"

"These two seem to have a Potential Index close to 3.0, which is not bad."

"Even in past preparatory class assessments, they could rank in the top five or ten."

"However... it's not easy for these two kids to defeat the disciples of Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Brother Jin."

Senior Brother Qiu, the Golden Core Doctor from the Profound Art Celestial Sect, smiled slightly:

"Geniuses naturally have their own hidden cards."

"But regarding the quantity of hidden cards, no one in this assessment can compare with my disciple."

The Golden Core Doctor from Myriad Beasts Demon Sect, Senior Brother Jin, calmly added:

"I've heard the Li family's Star Shifting is profound, but remember, overwhelming force beats ten types of mastery."

Clearly, both Golden Core Doctors were very confident in their prized students.

During the examiners' conversation, Xiao Meng faced Zhang Baiyi, and Li Zhengxing faced Xi Yu; the four started their battle.

The battlefield was at the edge of the city, in a deserted area.

At the outset of the battle, Xiao Meng activated her Yin Fire Dharma Body. Immune to all physical attacks, she proactively targeted Zhang Baiyi.

But faced with this Yin Fire, which burns all, Zhang Baiyi unhurriedly took a card-style Spirit Talisman from his storage bag.

The pattern on this Spirit Talisman was intricate and delicate like a circuit, setting it apart from ordinary talismans.

When this Spirit Talisman was activated, a Water Dragon gushed out like a mighty river, pouring directly over Xiao Meng.

This Water Dragon even had a tracking feature absent in typical Spirit Talismans!

Though the Yin Fire Dharma Body is Yin, it still contains the 'fire' element, making it countered by the Water Technique.

The massive surge of water dampened Xiao Meng's momentum by half.

And when Xiao Meng struggled through the impact of the Water Dao Spirit Talisman and rushed Zhang Baiyi as a Fire Meteor, he produced a small, entirely black bell.

Once rung, Xiao Meng was shook to her Divine Soul, barely maintaining her Yin Fire Dharma Body.

"What's happening? How can you use these Spirit Talismans and Magical Treasures specifically to counter me?"

For a moment, Xiao Meng almost thought Zhang Baiyi was cheating.

"Steamed Bun? You don't fit this Talisman?"

Zhang Baiyi answered calmly.

An examination with ten Golden Core Doctors as examiners naturally couldn't allow for any cheating.

The fact that Zhang Baiyi was able to use spirit talismans and magical treasures in the exam could only mean he made them himself.

"My disciple is not only a genius in the Talisman Dao but also in the Artifact Refining Dao. In terms of talent, he might be the strongest among the disciples this year."

Master Qiu said proudly:

"Although it was I who taught him the Talisman Dao and Artifact Refining Dao, he constantly innovates and surpasses the master."

"Honestly, when I was eighteen, my level in talisman making and artifact refining was not even half as high as his."

The examiners nodded in agreement.

Ye Muyu smiled and said:

"So, Zhang Baiyi must have prepared countless spirit talismans and magical treasures for this preparatory class assessment."

"In that case, it seems someone is in trouble."

Master Qiu smiled slightly, thinking Ye Muyu was just praising his disciple.

Facing Zhang Baiyi's innumerable hidden cards, Xiao Meng, who had only the Yin Fire Dharma Body, could only choose to concede and hand over the Night Watcher's Token.

Although she had a large number of demon talismans engraved on her body, she hesitated and felt it was not yet the time to use them.

At the same time, as Xiao Meng's battle was failing, the situation for Li Zhengxing was not looking optimistic either.

The reason was simple: Xi Yu's spirit beast was excessively strong.

The spirit beast of a Beast Tamer wasn't like Bai Ling's spirit pet that was akin to family.

Only a spirit beast under a Beast Taming Contract could be considered a tamed beast.

Once a contract is signed, the tamed beast and the Beast Tamer can communicate mentally and work seamlessly together, being much stronger in battle than a spirit pet of the same level.

However, if a spirit beast is too powerful and the Beast Tamer too weak, the contract cannot be signed.

Being able to contract with a spirit beast twice one's own strength is already considered top-tier Beast Tamer talent.

Yet Xi Yu's spirit beast, which was the white cat she held in her arms, was more than twice as strong as Xi Yu.

The white cat form was just the spirit beast's disguise. At the start of the battle, it transformed into a gigantic white tiger nine meters long, over four meters tall at the shoulder.

This white tiger's size was comparable to that of a typical Hundred-Ton King, standing there like a mountain.

Xi Yu sat atop the white tiger's head, smiling, and said:

"Xiaobai has been with me since birth, eating and sleeping with me, with a very high degree of compatibility."

"Coupled with my special Beast Taming constitution, I was able to contract with it while being only a third of its strength."

"Classmate Li, Xiaobai has the combat power equivalent to a Foundation Establishment First-Layer Cultivator with No Spiritual Roots. Are you sure you want to fight him?"

Faced with the question, Li Zhengxing did not back down and gritted his teeth to activate Star Shifting.

Then, he withstood only three claws.

After three claws, the Star Curtain completely collapsed.

There was no help for it; this time, Star Shifting was launched by him alone, and its endurance limit wasn't very high.

If his more than thirty classmates stood behind him now, he might be able to defeat this white tiger, but he really couldn't do it alone.

Being able to withstand three claws was already impressive.

Xiao Meng, Zhang Baiyi; Li Zhengxing, and Xi Yu both groups started fighting simultaneously, and less than three minutes into the fight, the Night Watchers were easily defeated.

The strongest high school students in Taihua City ultimately couldn't match the nation's top students this year.

"For a small Taihua City to produce two geniuses in one year is already impressive."

Zhang Baiyi spoke without a hint of scorn, sincerely saying:

"I'm sorry for the offense today, but once we're in the preparatory class, we'll still be classmates."

Xi Yu nodded slightly in agreement.

Then she said to Zhang Baiyi again:

"There's no time to lose. Let's switch opponents and challenge again."

The two outsider candidates quickly swapped opponents, with Xi Yu facing Xiao Meng and Zhang Baiyi facing Li Zhengxing.

Faced with this scene, the two Night Watchers couldn't help but turn dark-faced.

They had each already lost a Night Watcher's Token, and now they might lose another?

Can the wool stop being pulled from the same sheep?

But just when the two were gritting their teeth to prepare for battle, Su Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.

It was not from the Night Watcher channel but from behind them.

"You both worked hard. Since you've gauged the cards of these two outsiders, you can go ahead and rest now."

"Leave the rest to me."

Xiao Meng and Li Zhengxing turned around to see Su Yuan stepping on a Flying Sword, exuding the aura of a protagonist arriving at a critical moment.

Zhang Baiyi and Xi Yu exchanged a look, feeling slightly helpless.

They wanted to heed their master's wishes and first collect three Night Watcher's Tokens to ensure passing before anything else.

But now that Su Yuan had shown up, it seemed like they had no choice but to fight.

"Su Yuan, which one of us do you plan to challenge first?"

Xi Yu asked seriously.

Su Yuan thought for a moment: 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"No matter who I challenge first, it seems unfair to the other."

"How about this? I'll challenge both of you at the same time."

"Although the rules say the preparatory class assessment is one-on-one, as long as both sides agree, one against two should be fine too."

Zhang Baiyi and Xi Yu: "..."

Taking on two opponents? Are you crazy!
