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

Chapter 283 Translation: What does it mean to have eighty points of luck? (3.2K views, please subscribe!)

While the Demonic Skill: Beast-Pointing Technique is powerful, it's not really needed for the Joint Monthly Exam, which is a competition against humans.

Su Yuan simply used a piece of food raised in the Yuan Sect headquarters canteen to test all three effects of this demonic technique, then temporarily put it aside and returned to school to focus on preparing for the exam.

October 25th, 9:00 AM.

The joint monthly exam's written portion was held in the classroom of the second-year seed class of the Exorcism Department.

Su Yuan, Chi Le'an, and Qi Hanyue stood at the entrance of the second-year seed class, carrying their exam supplies, looking like three brave warriors venturing into the Demon King's castle.

Just by standing at the door, a strong sense of oppression rushed towards you.

That was the immense power formed by the gathering of thirty-three Foundation Establishment prodigies.

Su Yuan took a deep breath, grabbed the terrified Qi Hanyue, and strode into the classroom of the second-year seed class.

Inside the classroom, thirty-three second-year students were already seated, except for three newly added seats at the back of the classroom, which were still empty.

Upon seeing the three enter, the second-year students all turned to look at them, but their faces remained expressionless.

Su Yuan wasn't intimidated by the scene; he simply looked at the figure in the first seat of the first row of the classroom.

He was a thin, sunken-faced young man who looked somewhat sinister.

When Su Yuan looked at him, the other party only managed a stiff and cold smile.

Tianze Saint Son, Qiu Tianze.

Su Yuan sensed a strong sense of crisis from this holy son who clearly possessed villainous qualities.

This instinctive sense of crisis is enough to prove that the power of the first stage of the Divine Transformation inheritance is enough to pose a serious threat to him now.

But Su Yuan did not back down because of this; on the contrary, he was eager to try.

After accumulating so much experience, it's finally time to showcase myself to the audience.

He nodded slightly to Tianze Shengzi, his aura showing no sign of weakness, and calmly walked to the seat at the back of the classroom and sat down.

After the three students were seated, the counselor of the second-year seed class immediately handed out the test papers.

The exam will cover both Spiritual Literature and General Knowledge, with a time limit of... thirty minutes!
This is where the difficulty of the written test lies; the time limit is extremely tight.

Even if you master all the spiritual texts and general knowledge from your first and second year of university, if your memory is not solid, it is absolutely impossible to finish the exam paper that requires tens of thousands of words to be written by hand within the limited time.

Fortunately, Su Yuan had always been an excellent test-taker in a small town, so he would never falter in this area and immediately began to write furiously.

Thirty minutes later, the exam time ended.

The counselor collects the papers and grades them on the spot.

An hour later, the written test rankings for the joint monthly exam were revealed.

Of the thirty-six candidates, the top ten all scored full marks, tying for first place.

The candidates ranked 11th to 25th were one point short of the perfect score and tied for second place.

The candidates ranked 26th to 35th were two points short of the perfect score and tied for third place.

The thirty-sixth candidate, who was the only fourth-place finisher in the entire competition, was a full ten points short of a perfect score.

Su Yuan and Chi Le'an were naturally in first place, and as for the worst performer, last place, it was obvious that it belonged to Qi Hanyue.

"You only practice swordsmanship, and you haven't reviewed any of your spiritual scripts or general knowledge, have you? Come back and see how I deal with you!"

Su Yuan glared fiercely at the pink-haired girl.

Qi Hanyue scratched her head and stubbornly said:
"I'm fourth overall, so my score isn't bad..."

Su Yuan: "The reason others are third is because their scores are at least third, while you're fourth is because there's no one more useless than you in the whole class!"

Qi Hanyue was given a severe scolding, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Su Yuan was already used to Qi Hanya playing the victim at the drop of a hat, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Soon, the main event of this monthly exam arrived.

On the podium, Jin Dan, the counselor, cleared his throat and said:
"The written test is ultimately just a minor part. What truly determines the final score of the candidates is the second stage of the monthly exam, the martial arts test."

"Next, I will explain the rules of the martial arts test. Please listen carefully."

These words immediately lifted the spirits of everyone in the classroom.

"In simple terms, the martial arts test is a competition between students based on four main criteria: cultivation, physical fitness, Daoist mind, and martial arts."

"The ranking of students in the regular exam is determined by their performance in the competition, and the final ranking of the joint monthly exam is determined by combining the written test scores."

"The specific competition process is very simple. It is nothing more than a series of matches to advance from eight to four, from four to two, and from two to one."

"However, because there is a significant difference in ability among the 36 candidates present, it is necessary to determine the students' 'level' before the competition officially begins."

"The weight classes are divided into three levels, from high to low: heavyweight, middleweight, and lightweight, with twelve people in each weight class."

"Among the candidates who are assessed as heavyweight, even if they lose all their matches in the same weight class, they are guaranteed to rank at least twelfth in the class. The same applies to the middleweight and lightweight classes."

"After winning first place in the same weight class, you are eligible to challenge any candidate in the next weight class, and if you win, you will take their place in the rankings."

After hearing these rules, Su Yuan nodded secretly.

Such rules are indeed quite fair, avoiding the embarrassing situation where high-scoring candidates would encounter Qiu Tianze in the first round and thus be eliminated in the top 36.

Moreover, as long as one becomes a heavyweight candidate in the assessment, and barring extremely bad luck, there's a high chance of securing a top-ten ranking and obtaining hidden points. Following this, the Golden Core instructor led them into the Taixu Illusionary Realm entry pod to begin the assessment.

After entering the Illusory Realm, Su Yuan arrived at a vast and boundless grassland.

Directly in front of him, giant grassland wolves, each three meters tall at the shoulder, slowly took shape. Each of these wolves possessed the cultivation level of the third level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, it's the kind of wild, completely untrained Foundation Establishment Level 3 cultivator.

For every candidate taking the exam this time, beating these wolves of the grasslands was like a father beating his son—it was effortless.

One point is awarded for each grassland wolf killed, with a time limit of one hour.

If a candidate maintains a ranking within the top twelve after the time limit expires, they can become a heavyweight candidate and begin the formal exam.

Faced with this vast herd of wolves on the grassland, Su Yuan really wanted to use his magic skill, "Beast Finger," to have some fun.

After all, having a cheat code but not using it is the same as not using it at all.

But after careful consideration, he finally decided to tone it down.

In any case, it's enough to rank in the top twelve in the final results. A higher ranking is meaningless and will only arouse people's suspicion.

He plans to quietly grow stronger, make his way to the finals, and then use his cheat code to eliminate Qiu Tianze in one fell swoop!
Jie Jie Jie!

With this in mind, Su Yuan charged headlong into the pack of wolves on the grassland, not even using the Heavenly Fiend Sword Technique, but just wildly slashing with the Crimson Origin Sword and his powerful divine root spiritual energy.

Even though Su Yuan didn't reveal any of his trump cards, his ranking, after a slight fluctuation at the beginning, steadily climbed to tenth place.

An hour later, Su Yuan successfully advanced to the heavyweight category by killing 271 grassland wolves.

Chi Le'an and Qi Han'ya did not disappoint, ranking fifth and eleventh respectively, both reaching the heavyweight category.

Of the twelve heavyweight candidates, three were from the first-year junior class, which was clearly a provocation to the second-year students.

However, to Su Yuan's surprise, the much-anticipated scene of the villain's mindless questioning and flippant attacks, followed by the protagonist's boastful slap in the face, did not occur.

It seemed that the second-year students had anticipated the results of Su Yuan and his two classmates, and everything went smoothly.

The candidates exited the Illusory Realm, and the candidates of the three levels went to different examination rooms.

Inside a martial arts hall of the Exorcism faction, Su Yuan and twelve other heavyweight candidates stood outside the arena, while the audience seats were already filled with many spectators.

There were first-year, second-year, and third-year students who weren't taking exams today, as well as judges and mentors serving as judges.

The most eye-catching figures in the venue were not the judges or the examinees, but the two spectators, Yang Hao Zhenjun and Zhan Yuan Zhenjun, who were trying to suppress their auras but still exuded an aura of dominance.

Taibai Baiji sat next to Taibai Yuxi. The white-haired loli looked at the venue, which was filled with demonic energy because of Su Yuan's arrival, and her little face became visibly excited.

However, Bai Ji couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He was worried that Su Yuan might cause him some more trouble.

At this point, the exam had reached the stage of drawing lots to determine the opponent for the first match.

A glint of light flashed in Su Yuan's eyes as he gazed at the unreadable lottery box brought out by the referee!
It's here! The part where you can speedrun through using cheats is finally here!

Give me a huge boost to my Luck panel!
Fifty points of Yuan Sect's fortune were taken from the sect's accounts by Su Yuan and added to Su Yuan's fortune.

His luck today was 30 points, but after adding points, it suddenly jumped to 80 points, nearly doubling!
It's foreseeable that in the upcoming lottery round, which will test his luck, he will definitely get whatever he draws!
In the top twelve, the weakest opponent will be the first to be challenged; in the top six, the second weakest opponent will be challenged; and in the top three, the opponent will receive a bye and will easily face Qiu Tianze in the final battle.

Even if you lose, it's not difficult to get second place.

This is Su Yuan's winning strategy!

The invisible hand of destiny is about to exert its power!
He not only added points to his own luck, but also added fifty points to Chen Nuoyi's luck panel, so that she could also benefit greatly from the subsequent lottery.

As for why Su Yuan didn't add points immediately after midnight today?
This actually involves a very important factor—luck can be consumed.

Besides the base luck, the luck gained from adding points will be consumed.

Adding points too early will only cause excess luck to be consumed by unexpected lucky events such as finding money on the road or an old man appearing out of nowhere before the monthly exam officially arrives.

Therefore, it is safest to use Qi Luck and add points at certain times.

Looking at his luck panel, which showed a high score of 80, Su Yuan felt invincible.

He strode toward the lottery box and casually grabbed a small ball from it.

Upon closer inspection, the ball was marked with the number 1.

This means he was the first to go on stage.

"So, who is my unlucky opponent?"

Su Yuan watched as the examinees drew balls one by one from the lottery box, and quickly located the position of the other number one ball.

The person who got the ball was a dignified and upright sophomore.

But when Su Yuan saw the name tag of the examinee hanging on the senior's chest, his confident expression froze.

Zhuo Lixin ranked third in the last monthly exam for the seed class in her second year, and third in the second year of the Exorcism Department.

A top-tier prodigy who has accumulated 100 hidden points during his freshman year and has already come into contact with the first stage of the Divine Transformation Inheritance, but has not yet mastered it!

Not buddy!

Don't I have eighty points of luck?

Why did I get matched with such a super strong player in the first game?!
