How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 366 - 0361 The First in the Grand Competition

But now it was different, even with Yunhai Zhen’s strongest trump card unleashed, he was still repelled by Chen Yu.

“Blood Crystal Flame!”

A woman from Sky Star Academy, clad in palace attire, her eyes twinkled slightly.

Such a powerful True Fire Spirit Flame was coveted even by the top-ranking warriors of the Guiyuan Realm.

“This…”

The instructors from No Demon Academy were all stunned, completely unaware of this.

This surprise came so unexpectedly that they were somewhat at a loss.

On the combat stage.

“No… possible!”

Yunhai Zhen stared at Chen Yu, filled with endless resentment.

Wasn’t the first place supposed to be his for the taking? How could such a change happen at the last moment?

“No, I haven’t lost yet.”

Yunhai Zhen’s eyes suddenly focused, calming down.

Chen Yu, after all, was at the Peak of Middle Innate and, even possessing Half-step True Essence, it was limited in quantity and the number of times he could use the “Blood Crystal Flame” was finite.

Yunhai Zhen still had the power to fight; as long as he didn’t confront Chen Yu head-on, he could wear Chen Yu down.

He now regretted not adopting this tactic from the start, which would have prevented such an outcome.

Boom!

A jet of Golden Flame True Essence emerged from his body, slowly dispelling the traces of the “Blood Crystal Flame” on him.

Roar!

On the other side, the wings on Chen Yu’s back fluttered, creating a gust of angry wind as he swiftly attacked.

The competition wasn’t over until Yunhai Zhen admitted defeat.

Swoosh!

While flying, Chen Yu dragged several afterimages, approaching Yunhai Zhen.

In an instant, a domain of demonic Qi storm was constructed, enveloping Yunhai Zhen within.

Inside the demonic Qi storm’s domain, Chen Yu’s speed became extremely fast.

Bang, bang, boom!

From all directions and various angles, he launched a fierce attack on Yunhai Zhen.

“Get lost!”

Yunhai Zhen, now ridding himself of the Blood Crystal Flame on his body, stood up; he had to escape the domain if he wanted to wear Chen Yu down.

Yunhai Zhen immediately swung his sword, his spiritual power strong, accurately predating Chen Yu’s actions.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Chen Yu didn’t retreat, his heart bursting with one claw strike coming his way.

Moreover, this claw still contained some “Blood Crystal Flame.”

Boom!

The dark red Blood Flame Demon Claw tore through Yunhai Zhen’s sword and blasted through it.

“Why are you still so strong…”

Yunhai Zhen roared resentfully, his figure flying backward.

After the previous fierce battles, he was already physically drained, with little True Essence left, compounded by various injuries, currently performing at less than 60% of his peak.

But Chen Yu, despite the injuries that would have been enough to kill someone at the Innate Peak several times over, was still ferocious, capable of unleashing power nearly at his peak.

In reality, Chen Yu was also nearly exhausted; this state wouldn’t last much longer.

His Half-step True Essence wasn’t as good as Yunhai Zhen’s breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm, he had sustained many injuries, and his heart was continuously in a charged or burst state, which could not be maintained for much longer and would leave him weakened afterward.

Bang, bang, boom!

Yunhai Zhen heavily crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of golden-red blood.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Chen Yu approached Yunhai Zhen; his heart’s burst state had ended, yet suddenly it beat again, creating a strange suction force.

“This state… not good!”

Chen Yu’s expression shook.

He knew this was the state where his heart was about to extract bloodlines.

If indeed, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chen Yu’s heart extracted some of Yunhai_Zhen’s bloodlines, his greatest secret would be exposed, and even with the vice president of No Demon Academy to rely on, he might not be able to safely leave this place.

Chen Yu concentrated deeply, trying his best to suppress the suction force produced by his heart.

Meanwhile, lying on the ground, Yunhai Zhen suddenly felt a powerful oppressive and pulling force.

The blood within his body churned tumultuously, flowing back and forth, spilling out from the wounds on his mouth.

“What… is this?”

Yunhai Zhen was terrified internally.

His rich Fiery Sun Bloodline was trembling and exhibiting such abnormalities.

Suddenly, Yunhai Zhen thought that Chen Yu had chosen the Blood Path Division at No Demon Academy and might have practiced some kind of Blood Path secret technique.

Especially when the enemy was injured, some Blood Path secret techniques were extremely terrifying and could be exceedingly useful.

Furthermore, at this moment, Yunhai Zhen felt an overwhelming sense of inevitability from Chen Yu.

Throughout his life, Yunhai Zhen had never felt such fear towards any of his peers, let alone Chen Yu, who was much younger than him.

“I admit defeat!”

Yunhai Zhen, overcome with fear, shook his head slightly and uttered these three words.

At this moment, his injuries had worsened, and it was impossible for him to be a match for Chen Yu. Continuing the fight would only lead to a more miserable defeat.

“It’s over.”

Chen Yu heaved a sigh of relief, turned, and walked away. His heart slowly calmed down and returned to normal.

At the same time, the hearts of the countless spectators also settled.

This shocking battle had finally ended.

And the outcome was so unexpected that it was hard to believe.

Before the competition, some had speculated that someone might challenge Yunhai Zhen’s position, but after witnessing Yunhai Zhen’s strength during the competition, that notion had been dismissed.

But in the end, Yunhai Zhen was defeated!

“This must be the most unexpected match in the history of the academy’s competitions,”

“Indeed, to think that the first place was taken by a dark horse participating for the first time.”

With Yunhai Zhen’s defeat, although the competition had not ended, the position of first place was essentially confirmed.

“Chen Yu’s victory.”

The referee finally announced the result.

After stepping down from the competition platform, Chen Yu’s aura subsided.

“Fortunately, there’s nothing else after this.”

Chen Yu returned to his seat, sat down heavily, and took some elixirs for healing and recovery.

“Junior brother, I didn’t expect you to actually do it.”

Yuan Chen expressed his joyful smile.

“This is also thanks to senior brother’s help,”

Chen Yu seriously said.

This final battle was extremely tough.

Chen Yu’s journey to this point, with every experience along the way, had played a significant role.

For example, if Chen Yu hadn’t seized the Demon Spirit Poison Heart Flower found by Lv Ze, if he hadn’t entered the ancient ruins, if he hadn’t had the help of his senior brother Yuan Chen… he probably wouldn’t have been able to defeat Yunhai Zhen.

Nearby, Luo Haotian, Lv Qiuling, Yin Chengzhuang, and others occasionally looked at Chen Yu with complex feelings.

They had almost made mortal enemies with Chen Yu, but who could have predicted that Chen Yu would be so extraordinary as to defeat Yunhai Zhen? In the future, Chen Yu’s achievements would undoubtedly be incredibly dazzling.

If they could choose again, they would definitely want to befriend a peerless talent like Chen Yu.

The competition continued, but the real major battles had basically concluded; the final round was merely a formality.

…

“The current academy competition has finally come to an end. Now to announce the rankings!”

The academy competition had a hundred rankings, and anyone whose name appeared on this list was considered one of the top talents in the whole Yun Zhao Country.

And the prizes were awarded to only the top fifty.

Among them, the rewards for the top twelve were the most generous.

“Eighth to twelfth place, come forward to receive your prizes.”

These individuals were Luo Haotian, Lu Fan, Luo Qiuman, Zhou Yuning, Lv Qiuling.

Among them, Lv Qiuling was the most reluctant, believing she wouldn’t have ranked so low if she hadn’t lacked a Spirit Pet.

Next, came fourth to seventh place, who were Yuan Chen, Duan Xinyue, Tang Mo, and Yin Chengzhuang.

“Finally, the top three prizes!”

The top three were Chen Yu, Yunhai Zhen, and Ye Chengfeng.

Third place: Reward of one hundred thousand Grade Essence Stones, the Viscount title, one top-quality supreme treasure, one Origin Transformation Pill, and a five-day study period in the imperial palace ancient ruins.

Second place: Reward of one hundred twenty thousand Grade Essence Stones, Viscount title, one top-quality supreme treasure, one Origin Transformation Pill, and a seven-day study period in the imperial palace ancient ruins.

These rewards, once announced, caused a sensation.

“Such generous rewards are almost too extravagant.”

“But it is well-deserved, as this year’s academy competition far surpasses all previous competitions.”

It was known that when Chen Yu had initially participated in the hunting competition, he had only received ten thousand Grade Essence Stones, yet now just the third place alone rewarded one hundred thousand Grade Essence Stones.

Moreover, the rank of Viscount was higher than Baron.

In Yun Zhao Country, the lowest noble rank of Baron could be obtained through other means, but achieving the Viscount rank was significantly more challenging, and higher ranks required substantial contributions to Yun Zhao Country.

And the Origin Transformation Pill could increase the chances of breaking into the Early Guiyuan Realm.

In reality, these rewards were not very significant to Yunhai Zhen or Ye Chengfeng.

But the last prize, the opportunity to study in the ancient ruins, was more attractive to them.

“Next, the awards for the first-place winner of the academy competition will be presented!”

All eyes immediately turned in that direction.

In past academy competitions, the first-place prizes were always the most substantial.

With the second and third-place prizes being so impressive this time, what would the first-place prize be?

“First place, one hundred fifty thousand Grade Essence Stones, Viscount title, one Origin Transformation Pill, ten days of study in the ancient ruins, and finally, a reward of one ‘Spirit Communicative Artifact’!”

“A ‘Spirit Communicative Artifact’—they’re actually awarding a Spirit Communicative Artifact!”

“Spirit Communicative Artifacts, those are even beyond ordinary treasures!”

Spirit Communicative Artifacts, also known as “Spiritual Artifacts,” usually possess some level of sentience and require nurturing to be used; powerful Spiritual Artifacts even have unique characteristics.

Spiritual Artifacts were exceedingly rare, and most in the Early Guiyuan Realm didn’t own one.

“Chen Yu, choose one.”

The man in the Golden Cloud Robe waved his sleeve, and four Spiritual Artifacts appeared in front of Chen Yu.

As Spiritual Artifacts varied in function and attributes, the four major academies had prepared four different Spiritual Artifacts for the first-place winner to choose from.
