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

Chapter 180 You Don't Want to Be Dignified? Then I'll Just Help You Be Dignified! (4.3K views, please vote!)

[Through your combined efforts with the Taibai Sword Demon, four righteous prodigies, nurtured by the elders of the Ten Holy Lands, are about to fall into a demonic abyss called Taihua City.]

It's the same old story; the lousy system is slandering us again.

I am a law-abiding, model student, and Taihua City is one of the top 100 civilized cities in the entire Federation.

How did it become a den of demons in your mouth?

Could it be that I single-handedly corrupted the atmosphere of Taihua City?

[You've lured the righteous prodigies into this seemingly peaceful trap, with only one purpose in mind...]

Corrupt them! Degrade them! Crush them!

[You want to magnify the flaws of these pampered, innocent geniuses of the righteous path, expose their original sins, and immerse them in the mire from which they cannot cleanse themselves... That's what you want!]

In this carnival belonging to the demons, you, as the mastermind behind it all, will send yourself and your followers to the Ten Holy Lands as flawless righteous figures...

The main quest "Holy Land" has been updated!

Task 1: The Sinking of Desire (In Progress)

Let these righteous prodigies who have come from afar to participate in the assessment of the Ten Sacred Lands be completely transformed into slaves to their desires.

[Mission Progress: Number of Corrupted (0/4)]

[Mission Reward: Randomly grants one of the ten Holy Lands' special attack attributes]

[Task Two: The Infiltration of the Demonic Path (In Progress)]

[Please command all seven of your demon generals to pass the Holy Land's assessment.]

[Mission Progress: Cleared Demon General (0/7)]

[Mission Reward: Randomly grants one of the ten Holy Lands' special attack attributes]

After reading the two new tasks, Su Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Putting aside Mission Two, the four righteous prodigies mentioned in Mission One should be the four people we just saw in the flying boat.

It seems that even according to the dog system's assessment, the four of them are the strongest among the external candidates this time.

But the standards for the dog system to complete the task are still as demanding as ever.

It's not about defeating them, but about corrupting and degrading them.

That's asking too much. What methods could a good student possibly have to corrupt and degrade others?
There are only a few dozen kinds.

Fine, since this damn system is forcing me to do this, I can only reluctantly resort to some underhanded tactics.

After closing the mission panel, Su Yuan rode the Crimson Yuan Sword back to Taihua High School.

The other four candidates on the airship also went to the starting point outside the city to wait for their orders.

Before the assessment officially began, Su Yuan and others also received three types of examination supplies that each candidate was required to use.

The first type is the protective patch that appeared during the joint entrance examination of eight schools, which reduces the damage that candidates suffer during the exam.

The second type is recovery pills that can be obtained at supply points at any time, so that candidates can engage in multiple high-intensity battles.

The third type is a psionic drone that hovers above the candidates at all times to observe their every move and let the examiners know the candidates' performance in real time.

At the same time, after obtaining the examiners' approval, Su Yuan also made all the night watchmen, including Yun Ling and Li Zhengxing, wear headsets that could communicate in real time.

December 4th, 4 PM.

The new round of preparatory course assessments has officially begun.

Just before the first batch of out-of-town test takers arrived in Taihua City, the night watchmen received a message on their phones.

The page contains the candidates' basic information and their real-time location.

After quickly glancing at the basic information of these ten people, Su Yuan frowned.

Because among these ten outside candidates, there were none of the four prodigies he had seen before.

They can be called extras.

However, the average quality of these extras was quite good.

One of the candidates, Long Wentao, in particular, had a potential index of 3.0 and was recommended by the Golden Core Doctor of the Jiuli General Sect.

At this moment, they were traveling in a flying boat, heading towards Taihua City along the national highway.

Flying boat, national highway.

Upon seeing these two words, Su Yuan felt a sudden itch in his heart.

If you want to cook them, you can do it all by yourself.

The method is simple: just use the Crimson Sword to block them at the entrance of the national highway, first use the Myriad Soul Banner to blow up their flying boat, and then let the examinees who have fallen onto the national highway struggle desperately under the impact of the Hundred-Ton King.

They wouldn't even have time to get into the city before they were all wiped out by themselves.

But Su Yuan quickly suppressed this idea.

Don't be impatient; they're just a bunch of extras, there's no need to reveal your hand.

We'll do that when we deal with the big shipment later.

"Su Yuan, the other candidates from outside the region are easy to deal with; they can basically all be defeated."

"But that guy named Long Wentao is not easy to deal with. Who will go and test him?"

Xiao Meng's voice rang out in the Night Watchers' Channel.

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"Teacher Taibai instructed us not to go too far."

"Let's talk about the other nine outside candidates first. Don't condemn them all at once. Pick three or five that you think are good, defeat them, and then give them the Night's Watch tokens."

"As for this Long Wentao... he should be a promising talent that the Jiuli Generals have reserved."

"Squad leader, Lan Zi, Xiao Kong, the three of you go find him, have a quick fight to conserve your strength, and let him go."

"it is good."

Standing next to Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, Chu Lanxi, and Xiao Kong nodded in unison and rode their respective flying swords toward the flying boat.

Yes, if you don't have your own flying sword, you can scan the shared flying sword icon to send it over.

While the three were on their way, the airship carrying the visiting examinees entered Taihua City first.

After disembarking from the flying boat, the visiting candidates went their separate ways to find suitable night watchmen to challenge.

They can also obtain the Night's Watch's location and information.

However, due to some selfish motive of pretending to be weak while actually being strong, Tai Baiji did not show a specific potential index in the information about the Night Watchers.

Therefore, outside candidates can only judge the strength of the eight Night Watchmen through other means.

For example, family background.

Chen Nuoyi and Xiao Kong, both geniuses from prominent local families, are clearly the most difficult to deal with.

Therefore, apart from Long Wentao, the other candidates, even though they noticed Chen Nuoyi and the other two taking the initiative to approach, all tacitly avoided each other.

Persimmons also need to be picked and pinched if they are soft.

The visiting students all headed towards the nearly empty Taihua High School, ready to challenge the two unknown figures, Su Yuan and Wu Ziying.

The outcome for these nine people was naturally tragic.

Without even mentioning what trump cards he used, Su Yuanguang used conventional methods such as Abyss Spiritual Power and the Nine Swords of the Void to utterly defeat all the examinees.

When they turned to attack Wu Ziying, the latter completely suppressed the nine outside candidates with her own strength.

There's no way around it; no matter how much inflated Su Yuan's potential index is, it still falls below three.

Under Su Yuan's tutelage, Wu Ziying's potential index has reached as high as 2.7.

He easily crushed a group of outside candidates who were all at the peak of Qi Refining but whose average potential index was less than 2.3.

After driving away the extras, Long Wentao's three battles came to an end.

"Su Yuan, we have already lost to Long Wentao according to your plan."

Chen Nuoyi's pleasant voice rang out in the Night Watchers channel.

However, there was a hint of hesitation in his tone:

"However, after obtaining the three Night Watch tokens, Long Wentao is not prepared to live peacefully with us."

"He also wants to challenge other Night's Watch members, and he's on his way to you." "What?"

This news caught Su Yuan off guard.

Before he could reply, a figure appeared in Su Yuan's sight, riding a long sword and rushing into the school square at lightning speed.

The young man, with sharp, chiseled features, stood atop a throwing knife, looking down at Su Yuan.

"A senior from the Jiuli General Sect privately warned me to be careful of the disciples of Master Taibai."

"But I have just defeated three disciples of Master Taibai in succession, and I can only draw one conclusion - Master Taibai's teaching level is really not good."

"Now I have defeated his three strongest disciples, leaving only you two weakest disciples."

"Who are you planning to go first? I'm in a hurry."

"After dealing with all of Master Taibai's disciples, I still need to deal with the other three Night Watchmen."

This tall young man was none other than Long Wentao.

Su Yuan listened to the other party's words in silence, his expression becoming strange.

No wonder this kid is so arrogant, thinking that no one in the entire Taihua City can rival him.

So he mistook someone for someone else, mistaking Chen Nuoyi or Xiao Kong for Master Taibai's most prized disciple.

After defeating what he considered the strongest high school student in Taihua City, how could this Long Wentao not become arrogant?

And you, this seemingly ordinary poor wretch, are just an extra in his eyes, right?

Su Yuan shook his head helplessly and said sincerely:

"Dude, what I'm saying is, you already have three Night's Watch tokens, why are you still challenging other Night's Watch members?"

"Can't you spend the next two hours enjoying good food and drinks and shopping in Taihua City?"

"We'll be classmates after all, and I don't want things to get too ugly."

Faced with Su Yuan's earnest words, Long Wentao sneered:
"Who said you're my fellow disciple? You don't even deserve that title!"

"In my eyes, my only competitors have always been Wang Qiu, Xiong Wei, Xi Yu, and Zhang Baiyi."

"You? Is your name in there?"

"If I only get three Night's Watch tokens while my rivals get all eight, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage?"

Su Yuan: "..."

Inside a large airship above Taihua City, watching Long Wentao survey the landscape, the Golden Core Doctor of the Jiuli General Sect stroked his rough beard.

"Long Wentao is a bit arrogant, but he certainly has the right to be."

“Our Jiuli Generals Sect recruits generals who will command warships and become the leaders of an army in the future. Personal bravery is not the most important thing, so Wen Tao’s strength is just average.”

"But Wen Tao's strength is clearly not that great, so why couldn't your disciple, Junior Brother Taibai, stop him?"

"Don't you think this is just fueling the child's arrogance?"

While his words contained criticism of Long Wentao, they also conveyed a greater sense of self-satisfaction.

It also subtly carried a hint of belittling the students of Taibai Baiji.

Tai Baiji didn't speak, but only sighed softly.

This sigh wasn't a lament about his own disciple's poor performance, but rather a moment of silence for Long Wentao.

Su Yuan is already so sensible, why does someone have to jump out and provoke him?
Inside the Taihua High School campus, not to mention Su Yuan, even Wu Ziying standing to the side couldn't hold back anymore.

She tugged at Su Yuan's sleeve and said:

"Su Yuan, let me go up and beat this arrogant guy to a pulp!"

"Although my potential index is a little lower than his, I have recently mastered a technique for short-term overclocking that can beat his."

Su Yuan shook his head.

Wu Ziying suddenly became a little anxious.

No way! No way! Su Yuan wouldn't personally take action, would he?!

If he takes action, won't the scene be too tragic?
Long Wentao's crime is unforgivable!

But before Wu Ziying could speak further, Su Yuan suddenly smiled and shook his head:

“Long Wentao, I originally didn’t want to ruin the harmony.”

"But since you've brought it up to this point, I can't just leave without doing something."

"Alright, I'm too lazy to fight you. Let Chen Nuoyi and the others fight you one more time."

Upon hearing this, Long Wentao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled:

"You want those three defeated underlings to fight me? Are you crazy?"

"I admit their basic skills are good, and their sword energy is powerful and accurate, but that's about it."

"If that's the case, no matter how many more times they fight me, it will only end in the same way..."

However, before Long Wentao could finish speaking, a Mabo Crane had already appeared in the sky above Taihua High School.

As the boat door of Mai Bahe opened, a figure descended from the sky, crashing down in front of Long Wentao like a meteorite.

Who else could it be but Chen Nuoyi?

After the girl landed on the ground in a superhero-like style, she slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with dazzling gold.

A palpable dragon's might erupted from her eyes, forming an invisible storm that surged fiercely towards Long Wentao.

Long Wentao: "..."

Faced with the overwhelming dragon's might, he, surnamed Long, lost his footing and fell off the throwing knife, only managing to regain his balance after landing on the ground.

He stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him, filled with doubt and surprise.

"Squad leader, I'm sorry for making you suffer the injustice of deliberately admitting defeat earlier. Now you don't need to hold back."

Su Yuan said expressionlessly.

Chen Nuoyi nodded slightly, her expression cool and aloof, and slowly spoke to Long Wentao:
"We students of Taihua City have always been kind to others, so the fight just now was to be stopped when it was over."

"Dragon, let's have another match."

Having barely regained his composure, Long Wentao gritted his teeth upon hearing this and grabbed the precious sword hanging beside him.

"A special...special family bloodline?"

"Hmph! So what if you have high innate talent? I'm still not afraid of you!"

Long Wentao roared, his pride as a prodigy overpowering his fear of the dragon's might. He took a step forward and unleashed a blade of light as sharp as a bolt of lightning!
This blade of light is ten feet long, and its power is enough to easily cut through steel.

However, when faced with this attack, Chen Nuoyi neither dodged nor avoided it; instead, a dragon-shaped purple aura swirled around her.

clang--

The blade's edge clashed with the purple-gold dragon-shaped energy; the former shattered instantly, while Chen Nuoyi remained unharmed.

Long Wentao was somewhat bewildered that his all-out attack had yielded such a result.

Chen Nuoyi didn't give him a chance to react. She flashed and appeared directly in front of Long Wentao, slamming her palm down on his head.

The moment the palm struck, all the purple-gold dragon energy surrounding the girl gathered in her palm.

It exploded directly above Long Wentao's head, just like a compressed air cannon.

Hidden Dragon Explosion!

boom--

Long Wentao's entire head was enveloped by the explosion of dragon energy.

Even with the protective light shield in place, he felt his entire brain vibrating wildly at an alarming speed.

His mind went blank for a moment, and his body collapsed to the ground as if he were drunk.

Without the protective light shield, his head would probably have been smashed open with a slap.

Although he himself was unharmed, the monitoring drone above his head had already determined that Long Wentao had been defeated.

An electronic version of the Night Watchman's token has returned to Chen Nuoyi's hands.
