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

Chapter 192 Su Yuan: Ah! I'm the class monitor? (4.3K views, please vote! Please subscribe!)

When Xiong Wei was completely unable to struggle and was dragged to the bottom of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the surface of the pool returned to calm.

Su Yuan stood quietly by the pool, waiting for the final result.

He wasn't particularly nervous at the moment.

Since the water in the pool rushed into Xiong Wei's mouth and nose, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

Xiong Wei was defeated.

The blood-red cloak wrapped around Xiong Wei was naturally made on Su Yuan's whim.

He saw through Xiong Wei's desire for glory.

If this honor were to be transformed into a physical medal or uniform, Xiong Wei would certainly be happy to accept it.

So, while Xiong Wei was engaged in a fierce battle with Chen Nuoyi and the other night watchmen, Su Yuan urgently slaughtered several sheep-like spirit beasts in the canteen.

Using the methods of corpse refining and blood beast breeding, he incorporated the flesh and blood of these sheep into their hides, creating a living sheepskin coat.

Then he used the righteous path as a disguise to make the sheepskin coat look exceptionally luxurious, thereby arousing Xiong Wei's greed.

Once someone puts on this seemingly clothing-like but actually demonic creation of a blood beast, they will be firmly bound by it.

This single garment was no match for Xiong Wei's immense strength.

However, if this garment can receive a continuous supply of power from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, then cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage will absolutely be unable to break free from it.

As it turned out, the plan was a great success.

As for the roast goose and duck blood soup that were previously given to Xiong Wei, they were of course also corpses and blood beasts.

Although Su Yuan had long since sold these foods to various places through his live stream, and viewers in the live stream had never experienced any problems with them, this did not change their fundamental nature.

If Su Yuan wanted to, he could completely control the refined corpses and blood beasts that entered Xiong Wei's stomach, allowing them to play a role at crucial moments.

No matter how strong Xiong Wei's physical body was, his internal organs were still soft and could not withstand such damage from the inside out.

Not to mention the eight stunningly beautiful demonesses who had been waiting at the bottom of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool for a long time.

They will use all their power to unleash the spiritual energy of the abyss, hypnotic sword energy, and other means to corrupt Xiong Wei's will.

With one insidious scheme after another, how could Xiong Wei, this honest and simple boy, possibly withstand them?

"Don't blame me for being cunning, Xiong. It's just that you're too strong, and conventional methods don't work on you, so I had no choice but to do this."

Su Yuan sighed to himself:

"Besides, I don't necessarily want to compete with you for the title of the Federation's strongest high school student. It's all just my teacher's job."

As he muttered to himself, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool rippled once more.

Xiong Wei's figure surfaced once again.

It wasn't that Xiong Wei had successfully turned the tables; rather, he had been completely subdued.

He took stiff steps and slowly walked out of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

The sheepskin cloak wrapped him tightly, and the evil pool water that had stained him was completely absorbed by the cloak.

His head, the only part of his body that was exposed, drooped slightly, his eyes were almost lifeless, and his pupils had lost focus.

It's more like a puppet than a puppet itself.

"Return the Night's Watch token."

At Su Yuan's command, Xiong Wei voluntarily surrendered to all the Night Watchmen, including Su Yuan.

The Night's Watch tokens that had been collected vanished instantly.

Su Yuan stepped forward and patted Xiong Wei on the shoulder somewhat embarrassedly, saying:
"Student Xiong, please stay in this state for an hour. Once the preparatory class assessment is completely over, I will definitely set you free."

Xiong Wei had no objection to this.

Su Yuan didn't mind and led him out of the swimming pool.

At the swimming pool, Chen Nuoyi, Xiao Meng, Li Zhengxing, and others were already waiting at the entrance.

Apart from Chen Nuoyi, they were all unclear about what was inside the swimming pool, and therefore worried that Su Yuan's plan would fail.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Yuan leading Xiong Wei out unharmed.

However, upon seeing Xiong Wei's current condition, they all fell silent.

Not for any other reason, but simply because Xiong Wei's current appearance is strikingly similar to that of a righteous knight corrupted and hypnotized by the Demon King.

This made many high school students, who considered themselves to be on the right path, feel uneasy.

It feels like I've been tricked.

Su Yuan didn't notice the strange expressions on his companions' faces, and simply smiled:

"This preparatory course exam ended in a complete victory for our Night's Watch."

"Everyone, take a break for a while. Once the assessment is over, we're sure everyone will pass."

What else could the Night's Watchmen say?
Those who benefit from the system have no right to say anything!

Meanwhile, inside a large airship over Taihua City.

The examiners' gazes toward Tai Baiji became strange.

"Junior Brother Taibai, if we're not mistaken, the school where you teach has the Netherworld Blood Pool. Are you aware of this?"

Bao Zhenren's smile was forced and insincere.

Sun Zhenren gritted his teeth and said:
"Junior Brother Taibai, your disciple is truly too cunning."

"Finding loopholes, flattering, setting traps, sabotaging, and smearing—which candidate could withstand such a series of vicious schemes?"

"I really want to ask you, did you teach him this, or did Su Yuan figure it out on his own?"

Tai Baiji: "..."

Faced with a barrage of questions from the examiners, he was somewhat drenched in sweat.

But he couldn't bring himself to blame Su Yuan.

Because if they didn't do that, the Night's Watch would undoubtedly lose.

He had to stand up for his apprentice!

After much mental preparation, Taibai Baiji said with a cold face:
"No matter what, Su Yuan has won in the end."

"Don't tell me that Su Yuan's methods are insidious. He didn't break any rules or laws; he won entirely on his own ability."

He pointed at Master You:

"If Long Wentao hadn't been so arrogant, would he have been lectured by Chen Nuoyi and the other two?"

He then looked at Master Bao:
"If Wang Qiu hadn't been so obsessed with women, would he have been bewitched by a mere beauty and skeleton puppet?"

Then he looked at Master Qiu, Master Jin, and Master Sun:
"Zhang Baiyi was defeated because his two skills in using talismans and artifacts were too conventional and were crushed by Su Yuan's absolute theoretical knowledge."

"Xi Yu was defeated because of her lack of combat experience. Faced with a mere demonic puppet, she hesitated and surrendered without a fight."

"And then there's Xiong Wei. Although he's strong and his Dao heart is firm, he values ​​the honor of being the Federation's strongest high school student too much."

"If he hadn't been blinded by this honor, Su Yuan wouldn't have been able to use any of his tricks!"

Tai Baiji's incisive criticisms left the examiners speechless for a moment.

Seeing the examiners' momentum gradually weaken, Taibai Baiji's aura surged, and he concluded in a deep voice:
"In short, the key to Su Yuan's victory was that he exploited the weaknesses of your human nature."

"As teachers, you failed to promptly identify and correct your students' shortcomings, and instead blamed Su Yuan for targeting their character flaws. What kind of logic is that?"

"To put it bluntly, it's fortunate that this was just a preparatory course assessment that wouldn't result in anyone's death."

“If your disciples are put in real danger, nine times out of ten they will die because of these character flaws.”

“It’s a good thing for them to learn a lesson early.”

After Tai Baiji finished speaking, the flying boat fell into complete silence.

After a long while, one of the examiners finally spoke and asked:
"In that case, is the result of this preparatory course assessment settled?"

Master Bao shook his head and sighed softly:
"We can't renege on our promise, can we? Su Yuan and all the Night Watchmen passed this test."

"And Su Yuan himself is undoubtedly the strongest high school student in the Federation..."

At this point, even Master Bao hesitated. He couldn't help but look at Tai Bai Tianji again and cautiously asked:

"Junior Brother Taibai, what should we do with the ninety-two outside candidates who were eliminated?" "We can't possibly have ten Golden Core Doctors teaching only eight students!"

The examiners, including Master Qiu and Master Jin, also looked over expectantly.

If there's any hope, they still want their apprentice to get into the preparatory class.

Faced with this anticipated question, Taibai Baiji smiled slightly:
"Su Yuan did go a little too far this time."

"How could he be so ruthless and eliminate all the out-of-town candidates?"

"But this is also my fault. I knew that Su Yuan's abilities were outstanding, but I still insisted on making him the Night Watchman, which made the assessment unequal in terms of combat power from the very beginning."

"In my opinion, we should let all the eliminated candidates from outside the region take another test."

"What do you all think about using this additional test to determine whether they can enter the preparatory class?"

Upon hearing this answer, all the examiners breathed a sigh of relief.

This is what I was waiting for.

"Thank you so much, Junior Brother Taibai."

Although Master Bao, Master Qiu, Master Sun, and the others were extremely displeased with the smug look on Tai Baiji's face, they could only express their gratitude.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Taibai Baiji smiled with his hands behind his back, secretly delighted.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

After Long Wentao was defeated, Tai Baiji immediately sent a message to Su Yuan.

The message instructed Su Yuan to spare no expense in capturing all the outside candidates.

The reason for doing this was to get all the examiners to unite and plead with him to reopen the exam, just like they are now.

As for the significance of doing this?
On the one hand, it would make the examiners owe him a favor, and on the other hand, it was for Su Yuan's future.

After all, whether it's Long Wentao, Wang Qiu, Zhang Baiyi, or other prodigies, each of them has a strong background and their future achievements are limitless.

If Su Yuan were to eliminate one or two of them individually, depriving them of the opportunity to enter the preparatory class, it would inevitably create enmity.

Instead of doing that, we might as well just flip the table and kill everyone.

Then, we should proactively offer these geniuses another chance to be assessed, so that they can enter the preparatory class normally.

Wouldn't that make everyone happy?
This is just how human relationships work.

The last hour of the assessment time flew by.

The moment the preparatory course assessment officially ended, Su Yuan heard a "ding-dong" sound in his ear.

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

Task 1: The Sinking of Desire (Completed)

[Mission Reward: Randomly grants one attribute bonus to any of the Ten Holy Lands (claimable)]

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

【Task Two: The Infiltration of the Demonic Path (Completed)】

[Mission Reward: Randomly grants one attribute bonus to any of the Ten Holy Lands (claimable)]

Looking at the task information on the system panel, Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

On a whim, he claimed both mission rewards.

The next second, Su Yuan felt a mysterious change occur within him.

It felt similar to when I received the "Special Attack on Guantian Pavilion" last time.

Once this change ended, information about these two pieces of information appeared on the system panel.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Special Attack Against the True Martial Holy Land"!]

[Special Attack on True Martial Holy Land: You have gained the Martial Arts Deception Physique.]

The True Martial Holy Land is a sacred place for physical cultivation. Physical strength and martial arts are its main focus. They uphold the philosophy that great power originates from within oneself, making them virtually invincible.

However, having acquired the Martial Arts Deception Physique, you can easily spot the weaknesses in a target's physical body and martial arts techniques. Striking these weaknesses will result in a "critical hit" effect on the enemy.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Special Attack on the Mystic Art Holy Land"!]

[Special attack on the Mystic Arts Holy Land: You have acquired the Deception Art Physique.]

The Mystic Arts Holy Land excels in almost all skills that aid in cultivation: weapon crafting, alchemy, talisman making, formations… These are the foundation of the Mystic Arts Holy Land, its closely guarded secrets.

However, having acquired the ability to deceive, you can use your keen eyes to quickly deduce demonic techniques with the same effects based on righteous techniques you've witnessed.

[Note: All the special attack attributes against the Ten Holy Lands that the host has currently obtained are only at the initial stage, and there is a very high probability that they will be ineffective when facing the high-level power of the Ten Holy Lands.]

"A special attack on the True Martial Holy Sect and the Mysterious Art Heavenly Sect?"

Upon seeing these two special attack effects, Su Yuan touched his eyes.

The mysterious change just now was mainly concentrated in the eyes.

The effects of these two special attack physiques are also related to "seeing".

The defensive calculation constitution against Guantian Pavilion's special attack can be considered a passive skill, while the two newly acquired constitutions are active skills.

One method is to identify the target and then deliver a critical hit; the other is to copy and then modify the target.

They're all quite practical.

"It seems that these special attack attributes of the Ten Holy Lands, like the Demonic Skill: Five Fingers series, are the flagship products of the Dog System."

"Every product is of high quality, that's right."

Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

While Su Yuan was studying the rewards from these two systems, the examiners' airships had already moved above Taihua High School.

The candidates who had been eliminated earlier were also transported by airships.

Su Yuan dared not delay, quickly put away the system panel, and released control over Xiong Wei.

Before long, a group of eliminated candidates gathered in the Taihua High School square.

Ten examiners also emerged from the large airship and landed on the ground.

As soon as the examiners landed, they began to scrutinize Su Yuan with different expressions, making Su Yuan feel somewhat guilty.

Fortunately, because they owed Tai Baiji a favor, none of the examiners said anything.

They simply announced that all the Night Watch members had passed, and that an additional round would be held for all the outside candidates.

Xiong Wei and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was still a chance to enter the preparatory class again.

"Everyone."

Sun Zhenren glanced at the group of outside candidates:
"Some of you have accepted your defeat gracefully, but there must be some of you who are still resentful about this failure and want to try again."

"But I can tell you definitively that none of you lost unjustly."

"If you didn't have flaws, how could people have exploited your weaknesses?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu and the others, who were initially indignant, could only lower their heads in shame.

Then Sun Zhenren announced:
"Although most of you will need to take additional tests, the top spot in the preparatory class has already been decided."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Su Yuan.

Sun Zhenren's words rang out at the opportune moment:

"That's right, Su Yuan is the first place winner of this year's top ten preparatory classes."

The Golden Core Doctor, who resembled an ape, looked at Su Yuan and said gently:

"In recognition of your outstanding performance in this year's preparatory class assessment, all ten examiners have unanimously decided to award you the position of preparatory class monitor!"

"Huh? I'll be the class monitor."

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Sun Zhenren smiled and said:

"Don't underestimate the position of class monitor. The class monitor in the preparatory class has a very high status, almost equivalent to half a teacher."
