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

After listening to Yang Hao Zhenjun's detailed explanation of the hidden points, a strong thought immediately arose in Su Yuan's mind.

He's determined to get those hidden points!
A person's ambition will expand as they grow.

When Su Yuan was just an ordinary orphaned high school student, he thought that getting into university and finding a stable job would be enough.

When Su Yuan obtained the system and his high school scores soared, he dreamed of joining one of the ten great immortal sects and becoming a senior executive in the future.

After he founded the Yuan Sect, became a disciple of Tai Bai Tianji, and became the top student in the preparatory class, his ambition had already spread towards the defense line of the Realm Lord.

Now, a broader and brighter future has suddenly appeared before Su Yuan, and he naturally wants to seize it firmly!
That's a chance to learn the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage, a realm that almost all cultivators in the Blue Star Federation admire and revere.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, we must never give up.

Everything will begin with the hidden points!
Suppressing his excitement, Su Yuanqiang asked solemnly:

"Teacher Yang, how many hidden points can be added by taking the joint monthly exam with the second-year students?"

Chi Le'an and Qi Hanyue remained silent, but their eyes also held a searching look, as if they wanted to know the answer to this question.

True Lord Yang Hao calmly replied:
"There are 33 students in the second-year seed class of the Exorcism Department. With you, there will be 36 people."

"Of these thirty-six people, only the top ten can obtain hidden points."

"The tenth place winner receives one hidden point, the ninth place winner receives two points, and so on. The first place winner receives ten hidden points directly."

"Although the opportunities to gain hidden points during university life are not limited to monthly exams, they are definitely not many."

"Furthermore, any project that allows you to obtain hidden points is extremely difficult, so you must take next month's monthly exam seriously."

Upon receiving this answer, Su Yuan and the other two felt a chill run down their spines.

Even if the first place winner only gets ten hidden points?

The winter and summer vacations at Zhuxie University total about three months, which means there are only about nine monthly exams.

Even if you get first place in the joint exam with the second-year students every month, you will never be able to accumulate 100 hidden points before the first year.

If you barely manage to get into the top ten, and can only get one or two points in a monthly exam, then the hidden points of one hundred are so huge that it's almost despairing.

This alone is enough to show just how valuable hidden points are.

"Sigh, this is too difficult. Maybe I should just give up."

Qi Hanya immediately backed down, attempting to get away with it by being cute.

But the next second, Yang Hao Zhenjun and Su Yuan's cold gazes fell on her, startling her so much that she shrank back and hurriedly said:
"I was just joking around..."

True Lord Yang Hao didn't pay much attention to Qi Hanyue, this lively character, and simply said seriously:
“The three of you are indeed very outstanding among the freshmen of the same year, but compared with the sophomores who have studied at Zhuxie University for a year, you are still far from being up to par.”

"Let me give you some data. The second-year seed class of the Demon Extermination Department has now achieved Foundation Establishment, and nearly one-third of the geniuses have achieved Foundation Establishment with Immortal Spirit Roots."

"Nearly a third of them, or ten geniuses, have taken the top ten spots in the second-year seed class."

"Even the tenth-ranked person, who is the weakest overall, has reached the third level of Foundation Establishment and has made some progress in a Foundation Establishment-level sword technique."

"Therefore, the three of you must not be too ambitious. If any of you can make it into the top eight, top nine, or even tenth in this joint exam, that would be a very good result."

"Tenth place..."

Su Yuan's lips twitched slightly.

He did initially aim for first place in the monthly exam.

Despite knowing their strength, True Lord Yang Hao only gave such a conservative prediction of their performance.

This only proves that... the geniuses in the second-year seed class are indeed very strong.

Even though he was aware of this, Su Yuan still couldn't help but ask:
"Professor Yang, who is currently ranked first in the second-year seed class? What are their performance statistics?"

As if he had anticipated Su Yuan's question, True Monarch Yang Hao slowly replied:

"The top student in the second-year seed class, who was a prodigy like Chi Le'an during his freshman year, is named Qiu Tianze, also known as the Holy Son of Tianze."

"As for his achievements... he studied the first stage of the Demon Extermination Nascent Soul inheritance during the summer vacation, and has now mastered it."

"In comparison, although the second and third place students also accumulated enough hidden points in their freshman year, they are still a long way from comprehending the first stage of the Divine Transformation Inheritance."

"I can't say for sure what his current strength is, but he can definitely crush the three of you without any problem."

"He will only get stronger in a month."

Su Yuan: "..."

Having witnessed the groundwork laid by True Monarch Yang Hao regarding the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage, Su Yuan had already come to regard it as a kind of legend.

As a result, among the opponents I will face next month will be ruthless individuals who have mastered a portion of the Nascent Soul inheritance.

At this moment, the numerical values ​​are directly visualized!
Why even crack an egg?!
I've lost ten hidden points!
However, although the enemy was indeed very powerful, Su Yuan did not back down like Qi Hanyue.

With his cheat-like abilities, why would he be afraid of a genius?
Rather, it's precisely this kind of underdog story that's so popular that it feels like the classic shonen manga/anime formula!

It's burning up!

Next, True Lord Yanghao officially began his lecture.

Because each student chose a different sword technique, Yang Hao Zhenjun mainly talked about the essence of swordsmanship in this class.

If the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique, the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique, and the Heavenly Extreme Sword Technique are like advanced math problems, then the essence of swordsmanship as explained by True Lord Yang Hao is the general outline of mathematics and the foundation of all sword techniques.

This Nascent Soul True Monarch, nearing sixty years of age and having dedicated half his life to the study of swordsmanship, naturally possessed exceptional teaching skills. His lectures were profound yet easy to understand, greatly benefiting Su Yuan and the others.

As for things like sabotaging a rival's apprentice, such plots, which are popular in novels, are completely nonexistent.

It's true that the two leaders are openly competing for the position of deputy director, but before becoming deputy director, professional ethics are even more indispensable.

Clearly, Yang Hao Zhenjun's professional ethics as a teacher are beyond reproach.

If Su Yuan were to ask what was the only shortcoming of this lesson, it would be that True Lord Yang Hao was too upright.

The latter, both in fact and in the dog system's judgment, is an absolute righteous cultivator.

The title of Demon Lord, and other methods to increase learning ability, were all useless.

Only by having Feng Wuyai break down and break down a large amount of swordsmanship knowledge and explain it to him can Su Yuan keep up with the learning speed of a top genius.

Fortunately, he not only studies the courses of True Lord Yang Hao.

Everything will be alright after Taibai Tianji starts teaching!
Time flies, and a morning has passed.

After Yang Hao Zhenjun finished his first lesson, he gracefully withdrew and left.

It's exactly twelve o'clock now.

Then there's a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break, followed by a one-and-a-half-hour spiritual lesson in the afternoon, leaving the rest of the time to use as you please.

This is the teaching style of Zhuxie University: rather than forcing students to study, they prefer to give students more free time.

Whether you use this time for spiritual practice, socializing, or even starting a business or working outside the home, it's all fine.

As long as you can achieve substantial improvement and pass the exams on time, that's sufficient.

After all, there's a saying that goes something like this—don't see university as just a school, but as a real society.

During university, you should prioritize preparing for your future career rather than just studying.

Connections, skills, resources... these things are never easier to acquire than during university.

This applies to societies without demons, and it also applies to the world of cultivation.

At noon, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi had lunch together in the cafeteria and shared their experiences from their first class.

During the conversation, Su Yuan learned that the teaching staff of the first-year class of the Kendo Department was in no way weaker than that of the first-year class of the Exorcism Department.

Seemingly in order to counter the latter, the two Nascent Soul stage deputy directors of the Kendo Department personally took charge of two main courses each.

In this light, it seems that the teaching staff of the Kendo seed class is actually superior.

Chen Nuoyi's first lesson was also a kendo class, and the foundational sword technique she chose was called the Golden Emperor Sword Technique.

This sword technique integrates the principles of Geng Metal and allows the practitioner to cultivate imperial might. It is said to be the national sword technique of a certain ancient immortal dynasty.

Chen Nuoyi possesses the bloodline of the Dragon King, which gives her a regal air, perfectly complementing the Golden Emperor Sword Technique.

After cultivating imperial might, it might even accelerate the awakening of the Dragon King's bloodline.

However… thinking about how Chen Nuoyi would become more and more authoritative in the future, Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

My question is, my deputy leader seems to be more like the leader than I am. He exudes an aura of dominance all day long, and it seems like his subordinates could put him on the throne at any moment. What should I, as the leader, do?
My position within the church is in jeopardy!
Waiting online, very anxious.

Of course, this was just Su Yuan's wild speculation; he believed that Chen Nuoyi would never attempt to seize power.

If all else fails, find an excuse to let her be the cult leader for a day and have some fun.

After dinner, the two went back to their respective classes.

As soon as the spiritual script class ended, Su Yuan contacted his tutor and learned the location where the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi was stored.

After obtaining the license, he hurriedly headed to his destination.

With the joint entrance exam approaching, I need to quickly master the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique, the Absolute Heaven Secret Realm, and the Earthly Connection Secret Realm.

Not to mention getting first place in the monthly exam, Su Yuan is still prepared to fight hard for second place.

The Civil Engineering Department is located in the most remote and desolate college on the edge of the Zhuxie University City.

At Zhuxie University, which focuses on swordsmanship, the Civil Engineering Department is undoubtedly a marginal department, belonging to the top ten junior colleges.

Of course, no matter how desolate and bleak the Civil Engineering Department may be, it is still one of the departments of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Both its teaching facilities and faculty surpass those of some of the top 100 federal universities specializing in civil engineering.

It's comparable to the Nascent Soul level spiritual treasure, the Jianmu Divine Needle.

This magical artifact is said to be a divine needle, but it is actually a huge wooden pillar with a diameter of 100 meters and no branches.

However, compared to its length, which pierces the heavens and plunges into the netherworld, its mere hundred-meter diameter, when viewed from afar, is indeed no different from a needle.

The function of the Jianmu Divine Needle is quite simple: it continuously draws upon the power of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends to serve as building materials in the civil engineering industry.

The civil engineering students who are in their second year or above have all gone out to work, and now there are only first-year students in the college.

An uninvited guest also arrived quietly.
