In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 137 Ye Muyu: Taihua City is a Land of Outstanding People and Abundant Resources

Xiao Meng's head suddenly split open from the middle, revealing a huge, gaping hole through which the black and red sword energy passed.

"Nine Swords of the Void..."

Xiao Meng's head was glued back together; she was numb with shock.

As a hardcore online novel enthusiast, Xiao Meng had reason to suspect that her younger brother was cheating!

I've recently activated the popular "pre-borrow the future" cheat, which allows me to learn any skill with a single click, and then spend more time grinding for proficiency.

But Xiao Meng soon realized another problem.

Most people can only access one skill at a time when they're using a pre-approved future skill, but this kid has already shown more than one perfect-level martial art.

Is this even more outrageous than cheating?

But no matter what, Xiao Meng will not back down because of this.

So the Undying Sword Body can defend against physical attacks, right? Then let's see what magical attacks you can do!

She unleashed her full power, purple flames surging from her body like dragons, crashing down on Xiao Kong.

Using fire against fire may sound like a clumsy method, but it is actually the orthodox way to test the talent of the Xiao family's children.

The side with stronger firepower will completely suppress the side with weaker firepower.

It is quite obvious that Xiao Meng, who possesses the Yin Fire lineage and Yin Fire spirit body, has firepower that surpasses that of Xiao Kong.

Once the firepower clash begins, Xiao Kong's bones could be burned to a crisp within a minute.

This has been true at least at all times before.

But when Xiao Kong unleashed his black fire without dodging or avoiding it, and it collided with the purple fire, Xiao Meng sensed something was wrong once again.

My younger brother's firepower has gotten stronger!
Moreover, it has become much stronger, by more than 60%!

60%!

The magnitude of the improvement is terrifying, almost equivalent to rising to a minor realm level out of thin air, or the spiritual power intensity index increasing by more than 0.6!

But how is this possible!

Xiao Meng hastily increased her firepower, but the black fire had already temporarily suppressed the purple fire, preventing her from breaking free.

At the same time, because the two flames were intertwined, she could no longer control her own flames freely.

Then, she saw a vortex appear in Xiao Kong's dantian. Streams of dark and blood-red sword energy were born in his dantian, merged, and finally transformed into a super hypnotic sword energy!
Judging by its power, it seems to be even stronger than the sword strike Su Yuan unleashed in the Illusionary Realm!
"I took a shortcut in this battle, but I won't do it next time."

Xiao Kong spoke calmly, and a sword aura, having exhausted all his spiritual power, shot out, heading straight for Xiao Meng!

The girl watched in disbelief as the sword drew ever closer, her eyes filled with fury and helplessness.

Once again, once again, the same sword is about to pierce him.

She clearly didn't use even half of her strength in this battle, and she didn't even manage to touch the hem of Su Yuan's clothes.

But it was all too late. With the force of the mental shock slamming into her mind, her delicate body swayed slightly, and the light in her beautiful eyes gradually dimmed.

And what about Xiao Kong?

He had burned out; the black flames receded from his body, and he collapsed limply onto the arena.

He has been eliminated because the light membrane has determined that he has exhausted his spiritual power and can no longer fight.

Because the flames erupted from inside his body, his clothes were completely burned away.

Furthermore, in order to ensure fairness in the exam, he did not wear a close-fitting fireproof robe.

Fortunately, the proctoring agency had anticipated similar situations, and the protective light film automatically mimicked dark magic and holy light, blocking out all parts unsuitable for children.

But aside from these private parts, Xiao Kong's other body parts were exposed to everyone.

The dense, dark purple patterns branded all over his upper body, and even spreading to half of his buttocks, attracted the attention of all the viewers.

The visual impact, the unexpectedness, and the shock were all completely unprepared for the audience and judges present. Principal Zhang Youde, who had been overjoyed by Xiao Kong's excellent performance, had now lowered his head deeply.

He knew that Su Yuan would definitely pull some stunts!
Because the battle ended so quickly, the other teams of examinees on the arena hadn't even had a chance to start fighting.

An eerie silence fell over the entire room.

The only change was that Xiao Kong's name quietly squeezed into the top ten of the popularity chart.

After what seemed like an eternity, referee Lao Huang cautiously raised the microphone and began to speak:
"Xiao Kong performed exceptionally well in his battle against Xiao Meng... Although he ultimately lost due to exhaustion of spiritual energy, he still delivered an incredibly spectacular visual feast for us."

"Let's hear what the judges think about this battle."

The camera then shifts to the judges' panel.

Then the first thing the audience saw was Xiao Butian, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Although most people don't know the relationship between Xiao Butian and Xiao Meng, siblings, they can guess a little from their surnames alone.

Fortunately, Li Qingyun was still able to maintain control of the situation. After a brief moment of surprise, he smiled and said:

"Xiao Kong's performance was indeed very good, but a large part of his strength came from the nine runes on his body."

"If I'm not mistaken, these nine runes should be nine extremely exquisite special spiritual runes that can be used repeatedly."

The unsuspecting audience then realized what had happened.

So it's a talisman. I thought it was Young Master Xiao's personal hobby or a task assigned by his master.

"Given the rule that external objects cannot be used in the joint entrance examination of the eight schools, I reasonably speculate that these nine spirit talismans should have been drawn by a talisman genius among the candidates of Taihua High School."

"Compared to Xiao Kong's performance in the battle, I think everyone should pay more attention to the performance of that talisman genius in the future."

Li Qingyun's explanation managed to barely clear Xiao Kong's name.

However, it is still foreseeable that the image of Young Master Xiao covered in runes will continue to spread rapidly.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a man who has risked everything, even social death, to win.

The host, Lao Huang, said:

"Thank you for your insightful comments, Instructor Li Qingyun. Now, Instructor Ye, what are your thoughts on this battle?"

Upon hearing this, the judges and Zhang Youde were all on tenterhooks.

After all, although Li Qingyun didn't say it explicitly, anyone with eyes could see that these runes were demonic runes!
As one of the ten great immortal sects and also one of the ten great righteous elders, will Ye Muyu develop a dislike for Taihua City because of this?
Fortunately, when they saw Professor Ye's expression at that moment, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Muyu was seen putting his ear close to the mouth of the white-haired loli in his arms, listening to what the latter was saying with a gentle expression.

When the camera cut to her, she smiled and said:
"Taihua City is indeed a place of outstanding people and abundant resources. I am looking forward to the development of this exam."

After receiving this affirmative answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your evaluation, Instructor Ye. Now let's turn our attention back to the examination room and see how Xiao Meng performs after defeating Xiao Kong."

"Huh? Her! How did she betray us?"

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene in the examination room, Lao Huang's voice changed in shock.

Then, without anyone noticing, Xiao Meng had already walked into the Taihua High School team and replaced Xiao Kong.

Is this an inheritance of Xiao Kong's will?
