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

Chapter 260: Fifty-nine against fifty thousand, the advantage is mine!
After listening to Instructor Zhao's explanation, Su Yuan finally understood why the Federation had stopped investigating the cause of the Immortal Tribulation.

Because it makes no sense.

Almost all ancient cultivators knew what happened but not why.

They all knew the exact timeframe for the arrival of the Celestial Tribulation, but beyond that, they knew nothing.

Unless one of the thirty-six Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords who issued the decree can be found, perhaps the truth behind the Immortal Tribulation can be glimpsed.

But... since these thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators know the inside story of the Immortal Tribulation, will they really be affected by it?

If these thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators had survived to this day in their prime, what kind of impact would their rebirth have on the Blue Star Federation, and even on all civilizations in the Star Sea?

Su Yuan didn't know, and he guessed that Instructor Zhao didn't know either.

These distances are too far for them.

Su Yuan shook his head and didn't think about it any further.

If the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up; he should focus on dealing with the current army of sword slaves.

Three minutes later, streaks of light streaked across the sky above Wanlong Mountain, and the members of Chi Le'an's team, Chen Nuoyi's team, Xiao Kong's team, and Qi Hanyue's team all arrived.

Su Yuan glanced at everyone's destinies and discovered that their destinies for the day had all been altered.

They all shared the same philosophy: "No destruction, no construction."

Their original destinies were completely overwritten.

This is the impact on individuals after the general trend of the world has come to a head.

However, Chi Le'an is an exception; he still bears the destiny of "great fortune".

It's unclear whether it was due to the influence of destiny or his own strong fate that he withstood the impact of the world's trends.

Instructor Zhao briefly explained to the group of military training students the cause of the sudden incident and the scale of the enemy they needed to fight.

"After Yanhe left, more than a dozen groups of disciples from the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect have entered this world for training."

"With each trial, many sword slaves are killed. To this day, the number of sword slaves in this world should not exceed 50,000."

"As for the number of personal guard-level sword slaves, as far as I know, there should be three. They themselves possess the combat strength of the peak Foundation Establishment stage and can command sword slaves all over the world..."

Feng Wuyai spoke eloquently, explaining the enemy situation within the world of Absolute Sword to the students in detail.

Three Foundation Establishment Peak Sword Slaves, an army of fifty thousand Sword Slaves...

Upon hearing the enemy's configuration, the students' expressions were quite interesting.

It should be noted that every sword slave with a complete body possesses combat power no less than that of a peak Qi Refining cultivator, and among these 50,000 sword slaves, there are certainly some Foundation Establishment stage sword slaves as well.

And what about our configuration?

Of the mere fifty-nine people, five have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

How the hell are you going to hit someone with your head?!

However, some students remain optimistic.

Take Chi Le'an, for example, who guaranteed that he would protect all the students.

Faced with this grim situation, even the guarantee from the Holy Son of Heaven seemed somewhat unreliable.

"Fifty thousand troops... Should we hold our ground to the death, or wage guerrilla warfare against the sword slaves?"

A freshman asked the question cautiously.

Chi Le'an answered without hesitation:

"I believe we can fight and retreat simultaneously."

"Although there are many sword slaves, we don't need to annihilate them all. We just need to hold out until the military training period ends."

"As long as we are faster than the Sword Slave and stretch the battle lines, the so-called 50,000 troops will not be able to touch our backside at all."

"Only those three Foundation Establishment Peak personal guards and sword slaves are a threat, but if it's three against fifty-nine, the advantage might be ours."

After hearing this analysis, the new students suddenly understood, and their faith in the Holy Son of Heaven was rekindled.

However, a few people in the crowd did not voice their agreement with the plan. These people were none other than Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Chi Le'an naturally noticed this, so he immediately asked sincerely:
"Su Yuan, is there anything wrong with my plan? If there is anything unreasonable, please point it out."

Su Yuan smiled and said:
"The Heavenly Heart Saint's guerrilla tactics are fine, but they seem a bit cowardly."

"Why can't fifty-nine men hold their ground and fight to the death against an army of fifty thousand?"

"If we really get to the battlefield, where will we find so much space for guerrilla warfare? Perhaps behind us are ordinary people?"

The freshmen: "..."

Su Yuan's last words did indeed make a tiny bit of sense.

The problem is that it is already extremely difficult for 59 people to fight against three peak Foundation Establishment sword slaves. Why do you think that 59 people can definitely defeat an army of 50,000?
Do you think everyone here is at the Foundation Establishment stage?
But before anyone could object, Chen Nuoyi spoke first:

“Su Yuan must have his reasons for saying this. Please let Su Yuan finish speaking.”

The students could only suppress their strong urge to complain and prepare to listen to Su Yuan's profound insights.

Su Yuan said calmly:
"My plan is actually very simple: all of you just need to charge straight into the army of sword slaves and fight them to the death."

"I will stand atop Wanlong Mountain to oversee the battle and provide support for you."

"As the saying goes, there can be no construction without destruction. Only by personally experiencing the cruelty of the battlefield can you transform into qualified sword cultivators."

"As long as you are willing to trust me, I can guarantee that you will at most be injured in the battle, but you will never die."

"Let's see if you have the guts."

After delivering this highly demonic strategy, Su Yuan surveyed the entire scene with disdain, displaying the demeanor of a demon lord.

The entire place fell into a deathly silence, except for a pink-haired figure holding a blue bead, who began to move silently toward Chi Le'an.

"Come back here."

Su Yuan's face darkened. He grabbed the pink-haired girl by the collar and pulled her back from her predicament of defecting to the enemy.

"Croak! I don't want to fight with the sword slave!"

Qi Hanyue struggled desperately, her eyes brimming with tears.

Su Yuan could stop Qi Hanya, but he couldn't stop the other freshmen.

They all hid behind Chi Le'an, looking at Su Yuan with a strange gaze, as if they were looking at a devil.

Even Instructor Zhao said with some helplessness:
"Su Yuan, even I might not be able to take care of all the new students, so what makes you think you can?"

"If you are not absolutely certain that you can protect your classmates, it is best not to put them in danger."

Su Yuan answered with a serious expression:
"Instructor Zhao, of course, has ways to protect the students' lives."

"Oh?"

Instructor Zhao was slightly taken aback.

Then, he saw Su Yuan walk up to a controlled sword slave and place his hand on the sword slave's body.

The next second, wisps of spiritual light surged from the sword slave's body and condensed into a pill with a silvery-gray metallic luster in Su Yuan's palm.

After the sword slave was drained, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, becoming just like an ordinary corpse.

[Unnamed Silver Pill: Upon ingestion, it greatly enhances physical strength, transforming mortal bones into sword bones with a hardness comparable to a flying sword. The side effect is a tendency to resonate with one's natal flying sword, lasting for six hours.]

Ignoring the so-called side effects, Su Yuan said to the shocked Instructor Zhao:
"Old Zhao, this pill was made by me by extracting all the spiritual power from the Sword Slave's body. After taking it, you will gain the Sword Slave's steel bones and muscles."

"Although the Sword Slave's army of 50,000 is large, the main force of Foundation Establishment cultivators is definitely led by Senior Feng Wuyai, and they will not target the Qi Refining stage students."

"In other words, as long as they take this pill, no matter how many Qi Refining stage sword slaves they face, they will be invincible."

Instructor Zhao: "..."

The pills are effective, but isn't your alchemy technique a bit unorthodox?
