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

Chapter 146 When working, one should refer to their job title!

The purple sun appears quickly and disappears just as quickly.

After the flames subsided, Xiao Meng, completely naked and bathed in holy light, collapsed to the ground with a thud, having exhausted all her strength.

Thanks to this self-destruction, the hypnotic effect of the Spiritual Sword Qi on her has failed.

However, due to her complete weakness, all she could do was try to turn her head and stare fiercely at Su Yuan, who was a hundred meters away, with a murderous gaze.

At the same time, the situation of the Shining Star candidates was also clearly presented to the audience.

The star curtain that could deflect all attacks has disappeared, which means that Li Zhengxing has officially lost.

However, the overall performance of the Yaoxing candidates was surprisingly good.

Or, strictly speaking, only Li Zhengxing was eliminated.

The other Shining Star examinees, including Yun Ling, only suffered minor burns from the purple flames; their clothes weren't even burned.

At the last moment, Li Zhengxing single-handedly blocked more than 70% of the destructive power of Xiao Meng's self-destruction.

Many viewers were moved by this scene.

Even the judge who had always had a problem with Li Zhengxing said to those around him:

"Li Zhengxing may be a bit naive, but he's still quite responsible."

"But now that he's been eliminated, this eight-school joint entrance exam should be over, and there will be no more suspense."

The other judges had no objection to this statement.

And the situation is indeed progressing rapidly, just as the judges predicted.

In the examination room, after breaking the Star Shift technique, Su Yuan immediately reduced his own burden to the minimum.

As long as you don't try to directly confront the combined super sword energy of a dozen or so spiritual sword energies, the damage is actually severely excessive.

The battle that followed did not require Su Yuan to personally take action; he could simply act as the central figure and remotely manage the situation.

Chen Nuoyi and Zhang Jun led the Taihua High School students in a frontal attack.

After dealing with Baihewang Girls' High School and Yangxi High School, Chu Lanxi, along with the Black Dragon and Red Deer examinees, formed a pincer movement against the Yaoxing examinees from the flanks.

The Shining Star candidates did not sit idly by. As soon as Li Zhengxing was eliminated, Yun Ling stepped forward to take charge and fight to the end.

However, Su Yuan's demonic skill, Finger Body, was simply too overpowered.

With a casual gesture, he transferred the pain that Li Zhengxing had endured to Yun Ling.

While understanding everything Li Zhengxing had endured, the latter was also forced to relinquish command due to the excruciating pain.

Then the Shining Star candidates were completely defeated, either directly eliminated, or died from the intense sensitivity, or were hypnotized and recruited, turning against their own people.

Ten minutes later, there were no more soldiers putting up a fight on the field.

At Su Yuan's command, all the hypnotized candidates were paired up and attacked each other's vital points simultaneously, eliminating them cleanly and efficiently.

Xiao Meng and Yun Ling were also eliminated by Su Yuan himself.

"Thank you for the wonderful performance from the eight school candidates. Congratulations to the students of Taihua High School for winning the well-deserved first place in this joint examination of eight schools."

Referee Lao Huang spoke with great enthusiasm:
"Congratulations to Su Yuan for winning first place in the popularity ranking of the eight-school joint examination!"

"However, the interview with Su Yuan will have to wait. Now, let us warmly welcome all the participating students back to the room to receive comments from the mentors."

As soon as referee Lao Huang finished speaking, the eliminated candidates who had just been dragged away lined up again and walked into the examination room.

Although many people were pale due to excessive consumption of spiritual energy, and some were in a daze as if they were still savoring something, none of them had any serious external injuries.

The injuries were minor; the medical team took them down and gave them some quick treatment, and they were fine.

It can only be said that, despite the fierce competition among the eight schools' candidates, no matter what trump cards or methods they used, none of them exceeded the upper limit of the protective light film.

Having witnessed this scene firsthand, Su Yuan also deeply understood one thing.

In the face of the current cultivation technology of the Blue Star Federation, Qi Refining stage cultivators are nothing. The relationship between Qi Refining stage cultivators and magical artifacts in ancient times was like that between mortals and swords.

Furthermore, swords must be crafted by skilled artisans, emphasizing the spirit of craftsmanship.

In this era, the relationship between Qi Refining cultivators and magical artifacts is similar to that between mortals and firearms.

Furthermore, these firearms, which are far more powerful than swords, are mass-produced on factory assembly lines and are much cheaper than swords.

Perhaps only when one reaches the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even higher realms will personal power surpass that of mass-produced magical artifacts.

Back to the present, when Su Yuan saw Li Zhengxing walking back into the examination room, he couldn't help but lower his head guiltily.

Fortunately, Li Zhengxing did not come to cause him any trouble, and instead led the Yaoxing examinees to line up in an orderly manner.

Once the candidates from the eight schools were lined up neatly, the evaluation officially began.

The high schools like Baihewang, Chilu, and Yangxi, which were easily defeated by Su Yuan, were glossed over after being casually commented on.

The judges only ever paid attention to Taihua, Yaoxing, and Xiaoshui high schools.

"Xiao Meng, the failure of Xiaoshui High School is all because of your greed for credit and recklessness."

Xiao Butian coldly criticized his daughter:

"Although you did demonstrate your true abilities in the exam, it was under someone else's control. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Besides, what use is your personal strength in a team battle?"

"The college entrance exam may not test this, but your performance in the joint entrance exam of the eight schools has already determined that you are out of luck for the top ten departments that involve management and teamwork!"

Xiao Meng kept her head down and didn't say a word, but turned her head slightly and stared angrily at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan was also finding it hard to bear Xiao Meng's "fiery" gaze.

It was at this moment that Su Yuan suddenly realized a problem.

He was so focused on his own pleasure that he ended up toying with Xiao Meng like this in front of her own father...

Did we offend the Xiao family to death?
The Chen family's matter hasn't been resolved yet; could it be that the Xiao family is also going to retaliate against me?

Just as Su Yuan was feeling somewhat worried, Xiao Butian, noticing his daughter's little antics, slammed his hand on the table:
"What are you looking at! Are you trying to get revenge on Fu Yuan?"

Xiao Meng was startled and quickly raised her head, waving her hands in an attempt to explain.

"Dad...I..."

"Calling yourself on the job while working!"

"Yes... it's Teacher Xiao."

"Remember this: of all the high school students in Taihua City, Su Yuan is the one you should learn from the most."

"He is a truly intelligent student who will stop at nothing to win and can seize any opportunity, however small, to improve himself."

"Go home and reflect on your actions first. When you've figured things out, then you can visit Su Yuan and humbly ask him for advice."

Xiao Butian spoke in a serious tone, making Xiao Meng unable to lift her head.

Seeing this, Su Yuan was speechless.

Well, it seems I worried for nothing.

Not to mention what the Xiao family might do to him, even if Xiao Meng wanted to take revenge on him personally, he could just go to the Xiao family and complain.

After the judges finished commenting on Xiaoshui High School's performance, it was Yaoxing High School's turn.

"Li Zhengxing, your performance in the joint entrance examination of eight schools was seriously abnormal."

Li Qingyun's expression had lost its previous gentleness, and his words carried a subtle sense of pressure as he calmly asked:
"Have I been too lenient with you, causing you to regress instead of progress under my guidance?"

"Or are you being misled by trivial matters of love and romance?"
