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

Chapter 181 The examinees in Taihua City are all quite good at interpersonal relationships! (3K views, please subscribe!)

"Cough cough, Noyi went a bit too far."

"I told her not to be impulsive, but she still couldn't control herself."

When the scene of Chen Nuoyi instantly killing Long Wentao was transmitted into the large airship, Tai Baiji coughed lightly at the right moment.

He smiled and looked at the Jiuli General Sect Elder, whose expression had become blank:
"Senior Brother You, I accidentally hurt your beloved disciple, please don't be angry."

"After all, my apprentice originally intended to give in to Wentao, but what can be done if Wentao doesn't listen?"

After holding it in for a while, the examiner surnamed You finally recovered and let out a cold snort:
"I hadn't noticed before, but this girl from the Chen family has developed her bloodline quite well."

"But that's all. Although Wentao can't collect all the Night's Watch tokens, he can at least get six or seven."

"This is already one of the best achievements in previous Night Watch events."

Tai Baiji: "..." (Suppressing a laugh)

Before Master You finished speaking, another change occurred on the virtual screen where Long Wentao was located.

A streak of dark blue sword light pierced the sky and landed on the campus of Taihua High School.

Xiao Kong's figure then came into view.

He grabbed Long Wentao and forced him to swallow a recovery pill sponsored by one of the ten major immortal sects, bringing him back to consciousness.

"Wake up! It's time to fight me!"

After groggily regaining his senses, Long Wentao looked at the aloof and cold-faced young man in front of him with disbelief:

"You...you want to challenge me again?"

"No, although I don't know all the details about you eight Night Watchmen, I do know the direct descendants of the three major families in Taihua City."

"Aren't you just a piece of trash who's been trampled underfoot by your sister since birth?"

"Even Xiao Meng might not be a match for me, so what makes you think you can?"

Xiao Kong's face darkened, barely suppressing the urge to beat him up, and he said coldly:

"If you're ready, then start the war with me. If you lose, don't complain that my victory was unfair!"

Long Wentao shook his head, composed himself, and then snorted coldly:

"Just because that woman could beat me doesn't mean you can."

"My potential index is 3.0! One strike and you'll..."

As Long Wentao spoke, he unleashed a powerful slash of his blade, which hurtled straight towards Xiao Kong, who was standing almost within reach.

But before the blade could even get close, Xiao Kong was already enveloped in black flames.

Although his Yin Fire Dharma Body is still incomplete, the power of his black fire has far surpassed that of the past.

He faced the blade's edge without flinching or dodging, and a black fire dragon surged directly from his chest.

This fire dragon was different from his previous weak and shapeless flames; it even carried a hint of sword energy.

While possessing greater firepower, it is also more solid.

The black flames and the blade's edge clashed, remaining locked in a stalemate for only a second before the latter was shattered with a deafening roar.

Before Long Wentao's shocked eyes, he was completely engulfed by the black flames.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the entire Taihua High School campus.

Only after the drone automatically declared Long Wentao the loser and the Night Watchman's token returned to Xiao Kong's hands did he reclaim the Black Flame.

Long Wentao, whose skin was burned bright red, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Xiao Kong slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, quite satisfied with his results.

"If I get carried away, even a genius with a potential index of 3.0 can be easily crushed."

They've gotten a bit carried away.

In fact, Xiao Kong's potential index, like Wu Ziying's, did not break three.

Just as Taibai Baiji had said before, their true potential index was only at the median of all the candidates this time.

But these two are too unbalanced in their studies.

Wu Ziying is average in other aspects, but she is absolutely outstanding in sports.

The same applies to Xiao Kong; his black fire possesses firepower far exceeding what ordinary people can imagine, and one careless move could result in being killed at first sight.

If Long Wentao had been more cautious and hadn't gotten so close to Xiao Kong, he would have had a very high chance of winning.

But regardless of the circumstances, Xiao Kong ultimately won this battle.

Master You, who had just boasted that his disciple could obtain six or seven Night Watch tokens, felt his face burning with embarrassment in front of his many colleagues.

Facing Tai Baiji's ambiguous smile, he took a deep breath and said:
"Your two disciples are just relying on their prestigious family background. Do you only recruit and train talented young men from local powerful families, Junior Brother Taibai?"

Taibai Tianji continued to smile without saying a word.

Master You couldn't help but feel a little uneasy under that smile.

He immediately asked warily:

"Could it be that the other candidate who lost to my disciple was also hiding his true abilities?"

Before Tai Baiji could answer, Chu Lanxi had already arrived on her limited-edition flying sword.

His actions were exactly the same as Xiao Kong's. He first fed Long Wentao a recovery pill, then forced the other party to start fighting.

After observing Chu Lanxi in a daze, Long Wentao concluded that Chu Lanxi was not from a local powerful family in Taihua City and probably did not have any strange bloodline.

The potential index is at most around 2.4 or 2.5.

Driven by his pride, he gritted his teeth and accepted the challenge, determined to prove himself.

Then, he was taught a lesson by Chu Lanxi, who had activated her Thunderstrike True Form.

Just as Xiao Kong had left Long Wentao with the charred brown color that Michelin chefs love, Chu Lanxi's electrotherapy penetrated deep into Long Wentao's muscles.

The two of them combined their skills and could truly be described as quite adept at interpersonal relationships.

This battle ended with Chu Lanxi winning easily.

No one was surprised by this result, because after Chu Lanxi activated his Thunderstrike True Body, his potential index definitely exceeded three, allowing him to completely overwhelm Long Wentao in terms of raw strength. After the battle, the Night Watchers took back every single one of the Night Watch tokens that they had given to Long Wentao.

Suffering from concussion, burns, and electrical injuries, Long Wentao finally succumbed and passed out.

Su Yuan wouldn't be kind enough to wake him up; he simply dragged him to a shady spot.

I'll wake up whenever I want.

As for missing the assessment time?

What does this have to do with Guan Suyuan? It's not like we didn't give them a chance!

"Pfft-"

When the image of Long Wentao being dragged away reached the examiners' flying boat, Ye Muyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Master You's face turned ashen.

Damn it, his beloved student, on whom he had placed so much hope, was eliminated! Can you believe it?

A genius with a potential index exceeding three! Eliminated!

Looking at the candidates from other regions who were in the same batch as Long Wentao, although some were eliminated, three others passed smoothly thanks to the intentional leniency of the watchmen.

The scene is somewhat ironic.

But what could Master You say?

We can't just accuse Su Yuan and the others of breaking the rules and insist they have to start over.

Meanwhile, the other examiners, who had brought their prized students, exchanged glances for a moment before sending messages to their students.

He gave another stern warning: never make enemies with Su Yuan... or even with any of the night watchmen at Taihua High School.

Only the Golden Core cultivators of the Bao Zhenren, Zhenwu Shengzong, Xuanyi Tianzong, and Wanshou Yaozong remained unmoved.

They have considerable confidence in their students.

While we must be wary of Su Yuan, there is no need to be afraid even if we actually face Su Yuan and his generals.

At the same time, Tai Baiji observed You Zhenren's expression for a while, and after thinking for a moment, sent a message to Su Yuan.

On the campus of Taihua High School.

Su Yuan turned his phone screen away from the drone's camera, glanced at it casually, and then paused, startled.

Turning off his phone, Su Yuan spoke directly into the Night Watchers channel:
"Gentlemen, the plan has been slightly changed."

“Those three outsiders who just let the pass through can no longer be allowed to pass. Take back the Night Watch tokens from them.”

Xiao Meng, Yun Ling, and Li Zhengxing were puzzled by Su Yuan's sudden change of heart, but they had no objections.

They immediately set out and retrieved the Night's Watch token.

This scene surprised the examiners.

Did the first batch of out-of-town test takers all fail?
What is Su Yuan trying to do?
One of the examiners subconsciously glanced in the direction of Taibai Baiji, but the latter remained indifferent, calmly drinking his tea.

Two hours flew by.

The first batch of candidates were all taken away by the staff, while the second batch of candidates arrived by airship.

"Su Yuan, there's a candidate named Wang Qiu in this batch with a potential index as high as 3.4. What are you going to do with him?"

Xiao Meng's voice came through the Night Watchers channel.

Su Yuan smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, Xiao Meng, I'll deal with Wang Qiu myself."

Xiao Meng: "Okay, what about the other candidates? There are one or two among them with a potential index of 2.5 or higher. Are they also going to be eliminated?"

Su Yuan calmly said:
"That's right, we should go all out to eliminate them, not just this batch, but every batch."

"I'm not going to let any of the candidates pass."

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence on the Night Watch channel. After a long while, Yun Ling's weak voice finally rang out:

"Su Yuan, are you sure that if you do this, Master Taibai won't blame you?"

Su Yuan's tone was indifferent:

"Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for whatever happens."

Upon hearing this, the watchmen stopped trying to persuade him.

Before long, the airship stopped at the border of Taihua City.

After the boat gate opened, the candidates scattered and headed towards Taihua, Xiaoshui, and Yaoxing high schools respectively.

They were completely unaware of what had happened to the previous group, so the information they had was no different from that of the previous group.

Therefore, many people still thought Su Yuan was an easy target and rushed towards him headlong.

After all nine candidates in the same batch had left, Wang Qiu leisurely stepped out of the flying boat.

Facing a height of 100 meters, he did not fly away on a flying sword or other vehicle like the other candidates, but instead took a single step.

Logically speaking, cultivators in the Qi Refining stage cannot fly on their own; at most, they can glide to the ground.

But the moment Wang Qiu's foot touched the air, a golden light appeared beneath his feet.

This golden light, almost like a physical entity, supported his body.

He faced Taihua High School, riding on golden light as he sped forward.

But when he was halfway there, his phone suddenly vibrated violently.

There's a new update on his special follows list on Miaoyin's account.

Wang Qiu's cold expression instantly crumbled, and he eagerly pulled out his phone from his pocket to take a closer look.

Then she saw that the streamer Yang Meier, whom she had pinned to the top of her follow list, had just started her live stream a minute earlier.

At this moment, Yang Meier was standing in front of a takeout restaurant more than ten miles away from him, waiting for her food to be served.

Wang Qiu immediately changed direction and headed straight for Yang Meier's location, moving even faster than before.
