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

Chapter 274 Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique, Divine Transformation Inheritance! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets!)
What does it mean to "use campus resources for free"?

After a long silence, True Lord Yang Hao asked in bewilderment.

Then Su Yuan said confidently:
"I've heard that top-tier swordsmanship requires being in a special environment or secret realm, absorbing the unique power of heaven and earth, in order to master it."

"As one of the ten great immortal sects, the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect must have many secret realms available for students to use. Wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't use them?"

"So, Teacher Yang, is it possible to use the Hao Ri Sword Technique to access school resources for free?"

Yang Hao Zhenjun's already dark face darkened even more as he slowly spoke:
"Haori Sword Technique is a righteous sword technique that I created and promoted. This sword technique does not require any special external force."

"If we have to talk about external amplification, the most we can do is bask in the sun on the rooftop of a high-rise building with a floor over a thousand stories every day and comprehend the Great Dao of Ultimate Yang."

Su Yuan pursed his lips. "Just sunbathing is fine?"
The Hao Ri Sword Technique is so easy to learn, why doesn't anyone collect a "sunshine tax"?

"It's the right path, and it's the sun—it's too dazzling. I won't learn it."

True Lord Yang Hao looked displeased, but still patiently continued:
"The True Martial Sword Technique is a dual cultivation of swordsmanship and martial arts. It allows one to evolve martial arts into sword moves, or to integrate sword moves into martial arts. Would you like to learn it?"

"Can I use the True Martial Sword Technique to access school resources for free?"

"The True Martial Sword Technique emphasizes diligent study and practice. Those with higher martial arts and body-refining talents can learn it faster and can master it without any external force... at most, they can take some body-refining medicine."

"I finally managed to become a sword cultivator, how could I possibly learn the same things as those bodyguards? It's too hard and tiring, I won't learn it."

"The Eight Trigrams Sword Formation involves simultaneously controlling eight flying swords, forming a sword formation using the Eight Trigrams principle, allowing one to fight against multiple opponents. Would you like to learn it?"

"Can I use this Bagua Sword Formation to access school resources for free?"

"What, you want the school to reimburse you for the money you spent on the flying sword? That's impossible."

"If you won't reimburse me for the cost of the flying swords, where am I supposed to get eight flying swords to steal from other people? I'm not learning!"

True Lord Yang Hao: "..."

He felt that Su Yuan was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

Could this be a conspiracy by Taibai Tianji?
"You won't learn this or that, do you want to experience the power of the ruler?"

With a cold face, True Lord Yang Hao casually picked up a ruler that gleamed with a chilling light from the lectern, a sight that was intimidating.

Su Yuan quickly waved his hand and said:

"Teacher Yang, I'm innocent! I really wasn't trying to cause trouble."

"I won't lie to you, I just heard that our school can collect the Nine Heavens Qi and the Nine Netherworld Qi."

"So I was wondering if there was a sword technique that could simultaneously utilize the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends?"

Seeing that Su Yuan earnestly stated his demands, True Lord Yang Hao's expression softened slightly.

He thought about it carefully for a moment, then frowned and said:
"There is a foundation-building level sword technique called the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique. To cultivate it, one must absorb the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend and condense the Heavenly Fiend Dao Seed."

"After mastering this sword technique, sword cultivators can wield the power of heaven and earth. Every move can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, like a majestic heavenly punishment, with unfathomable power."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately perked up.

"This swordsmanship is amazing! I want to learn it."

True Monarch Yang Hao gave Su Yuan a meaningful look:
"But you should think carefully before you start learning. In the cultivation room where a large amount of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend power is gathered, a special force field will be formed, which will constantly tear apart the spiritual power in the cultivator's body."

"In this environment, cultivators are extremely prone to going astray and becoming possessed by demonic forces, let alone absorbing these two powers into their bodies."

"Therefore, the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends is either used in large-scale infrastructure projects or to temper the mind and body of cultivators."

"That's why I don't recommend the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique to you, because it's too difficult to master."

"Especially in ancient times, when the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi were difficult to store, cultivators had to personally explore the heavens and the netherworld. The slightest carelessness would result in death and the annihilation of their cultivation. It was exactly the style of the Demonic Sect, where if you couldn't cultivate, you would die."

"What? It's actually the Demonic Sect's Survival of the Fittest Wind? How evil!"

Su Yuan was taken aback.

True Lord Yang Hao nodded slightly:

"That's right, so I still recommend you learn the Haori Sword..."

"That's it! I'm going to choose the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique and take full advantage of the school's resources!"

Su Yuan said decisively. Yang Hao Zhenjun: "..."

You're risking your life just to get something for nothing, aren't you?! Why are the disciples that Taibai Baiji took in so abstract?
He originally planned to teach Su Yuanhao the Sun Sword Technique, hoping to gradually change his demonic habits and eventually break through his defenses to take Su Yuanhao away from Tai Bai Tianji.

But now...

Yang Hao Zhenjun was quite relieved that Su Yuan was not his personal disciple.

He won't have to worry about anything that happens.

With this in mind, True Lord Yang Hao quickly contacted the school and sent Su Yuan an electronic copy of the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique manual.

"Thank you so much, Teacher Yang. If it weren't for your careful help in choosing a sword technique for me, I might have gone astray. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

True Lord Yang Hao: "This is merely my duty."

"As for thanks, there's no need for that. Just don't mention my name if you cause trouble in the future."

Su Yuan completely ignored the last sentence of Yang Hao Zhenjun, sat down happily, and began to study the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique seriously.

Yang Hao Zhenjun then began to guide the other students in choosing their sword techniques.

Half an hour later, all the students in the seed class had chosen their favorite sword techniques.

"Students who fail to reach the Foundation Establishment stage must also study basic courses at the school as soon as possible during their sword practice to accumulate credits in preparation for Foundation Establishment."

The voice of True Lord Yang Hao rang out calmly:
"As for Su Yuan, Chi Le'an, and Qi Hanya, the three Foundation Establishment students, the monthly exams in their freshman year are no longer sufficient to judge your performance."

"Teacher Taibai and I discussed it and decided to have you take a joint exam with the second-year seed class during the monthly exam in a month."

"This joint exam is quite important, and I hope you will take it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan and the other two couldn't help but show curiosity.

Su Yuan immediately pressed for an answer:
"Teacher Yang, what exactly makes the joint entrance exam for second-year students so important?"

True Lord Yang Hao explained:
“In addition to earning academic credits, all Foundation Establishment students at Zhuxie University can also obtain a special type of credit called ‘hidden credits’.”

"Hidden points?"

The three looked puzzled.

True Lord Yang Hao explained:
"Most Foundation Establishment students don't need to use hidden points, because these points only have one function, and they can only be used after accumulating at least one percent of them."

"And its function is very simple: it is the qualification to learn the inheritance of the Divine Transformation.

Upon hearing this, the superfluous expressions on Su Yuan and the other two's faces quickly disappeared, leaving only solemnity and seriousness.

"As I said before, our Demon-Slaying Sword Sect has three great Nascent Soul inheritances."

"These three inheritances were not created by us, but were obtained in the ancient and mysterious realm and carefully improved by the sect leader."

"Of these three Nascent Soul inheritances, one belongs to the Sword Dao system, one to the Evil Extermination system, and the last one to the Weapon Forging system."

"To learn this tradition, you need to follow three steps."

"The first step is to accumulate 100 hidden points before the second year of university, which will allow you to learn the first stage of the Nascent Soul inheritance."

"The second step is to accumulate 500 hidden points before the junior year of college, which will allow you to learn the second stage of the Nascent Soul inheritance."

"The third step is to accumulate 1,000 hidden points before the senior year, which will allow you to learn the third stage of the Nascent Soul inheritance."

"If you don't earn enough points in the current academic year, or if you don't have the talent to learn the Divine Transformation Inheritance, you will lose this opportunity forever."

"It is obvious that even for geniuses like you, the probability of completing these three steps is extremely slim."

"However, you don't need to learn the entire Nascent Soul inheritance. Even if you only learn the first stage, it will be enough to benefit you for a lifetime."

“Each stage of the Nascent Soul Transformation inheritance can actually be seen as a sword path that surpasses the Nascent Soul inheritance.”

"Mastering the first stage of inheritance guarantees direct admission to graduate school; mastering the second stage of inheritance guarantees direct admission to doctoral programs."

"If you can thoroughly learn the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage, it means you have the potential to become a Nascent Soul master, and your future cannot be evaluated by academic degrees."
