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

Chapter 296: First Place in Both Monthly Exams!

Su Yuan was very curious about the meaning of the suffix "Yuanshi Zhenchuan Edition".

He didn't speculate; he directly clicked on the detailed introduction of the upgraded Purple-Gold Dragon Qi.

[Purple-Gold Dragon Aura (Primordial True Transmission Version): Increased the base values ​​of all effects of Purple-Gold Dragon Aura (Gold), and added the effect "Dragon Aura Returns!"]

[Dragon's Aura Returns: Forcibly draws upon the energy of the dragon veins, greatly enhancing combat power and granting immunity to or significantly reducing all negative effects.]

[Note: The closer the dragon vein is to the user, the better the effect of the dragon energy returning.]

After reading the introduction about the return of the dragon's aura, Su Yuan couldn't help but sigh, the dazzling level is really awesome.

What is a dragon vein?
In the ancient cultivation world, cultivators believed that places rich in spiritual energy were where dragon veins converged.

Every major sect, whether righteous or demonic, will choose a good dragon vein when establishing its headquarters, hoping that the sect will last forever and produce true dragons generation after generation.

In the modern cultivation world, dragon veins are considered to be the places where underground spiritual veins converge.

Through continuous exploration by underground exploration teams and spiritual energy detection teams, scholars have discovered that the ancient cultivators' use of the term "dragon vein" to refer to spiritual veins was indeed not unfounded.

Because regardless of size, a dragon vein truly takes the shape of a dragon, and the concentration of spiritual energy is usually highest at the dragon's head. The reverse scale of the dragon is the most vulnerable part of the entire dragon vein, and destroying it can sever the entire dragon vein.

Judging from the description of "the return of the dragon's energy", the dragon veins seem to be truly controlled by the power of the Dragon King.

There might actually be some kind of connection between the two.

Far away.

In short, if Chen Nuoyi can mobilize the dragon vein's energy, it means that her sustained combat ability will be as incredible as Su Yuan's, who possesses a sea of ​​blood.

It will only stop when the mind and body can no longer bear it.

So the question is, how far is Chen Nuoyi from the dragon vein right now?

The answer is very close!

This is the Demon-Slaying University, the largest headquarters of the Ten Great Immortal Sects in the Blue Star Federation.

When the entire Ten Immortal Cities were established, the powerful figures of the ten immortal sects extracted countless dragon veins and buried them beneath their own university cities, hoping that all their disciples would become like dragons.

Standing inside the Kendo Academy, Chen Nuoyi felt as if she were a dragon that had fallen into a mountain of gold; there was no place more suitable for her than this.

With this ability, Chen Nuoyi might actually be able to win!

Su Yuan closed the system panel and looked up at the arena.

On the stage, Chen Nuoyi's eyes were filled with a violent aura.

Hunger drove her to extreme rage. Even though she managed to maintain a degree of rationality, her gaze toward Mu Shouzhen was filled with murderous intent!
"Did he break through in the heat of battle? He seems to have become quite formidable."

Mu Shouzhen blinked, then a look of excitement flashed across his eyes:
"Then tell me, are you willing to face my sword head-on?"

Chen Nuoyi did not answer, but took a step forward, creating a wave of air, and instantly appeared in front of Mu Shouzhen, slashing down heavily with her Thousand Gold Sword!

The imperial might and Geng metal power brought by the Golden Emperor Sword Technique were brought to their extreme by this sword strike.

"Well done!"

Mu Shouzhen smiled with satisfaction, and swung his silver greatsword upwards, colliding fiercely with the Thousand Gold Sword.

hum-

A metallic clang, loud enough to make the audience's ears ring, rang out as the Thousand Gold Sword and the silver greatsword vibrated and came to a standstill.

Chen Nuoyi was unable to press the Thousand Gold Sword down, and Mu Shouzhen was unable to lift the silver giant sword.

The two forces were actually evenly matched.

"The dragon's power is indeed impressive..."

Mu Shouzhen whispered calmly:
"But how will you withstand the shockwave effect of the Heavenly Shattering Star Sword?"

As she spoke, the shockwave flowed through the Thousand Gold Sword and into Chen Nuoyi's body, causing every inch of the girl's skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs to tremble.

Under such shock force, even metal will break due to metal fatigue, let alone flesh and blood.

Many students taking the monthly exam in the waiting area began to shake their heads and lament that Chen Nuoyi's breakthrough came at the wrong time.

Rushing headlong into the Heavenly Shattering Star Greatsword like this will only lead to an even faster defeat.

But the girl's actions the next second proved them wrong.

Then Chen Nuoyi opened her mouth and whispered:
"The dragon's aura has returned!"

The next instant, a mysterious golden stream of energy surged from the ground and flowed into Chen Nuoyi's body like swallows returning to their nests.

Immediately, the girl's aura surged!

The intense shockwave, suppressed by the dragon vein's energy, gradually reached an acceptable level, and at that moment, her power officially suppressed Mu Shouzhen! Boom—

With a single strike, the Thousand Gold Sword swept Mu Shouzhen away, and a new sword strike, imbued with boundless imperial might, was brewing once more.

Seeing this, Mu Shouzhen became anxious and hurriedly raised his silver greatsword to meet the attack again.

But what greeted her was Chen Nuoyi's left hand clenched into a fist.

Five Dragons Heavenly Heart Sword!
The five sword energies, now completely dyed pure gold by the upgraded dragon energy, shot out like lightning, heading towards Mu Shouzhen's throat, heart, and other vital organs.

"Crush it for me!"

Mu Shouzhen roared and slammed his sword, as thick as a door panel, down on the five golden sword energies.

Under this attack, the five sword energies were indeed shattered, but her body was also sent flying again by the recoil from the sword.

When she got up again, Chen Nuoyi had finished accumulating energy. The Thousand Gold Sword was filled with purple-gold dragon energy, and the entire sword was enveloped in purple-gold dragon energy, transforming into a huge light sword with a blade length of 100 meters.

Chen Nuoyi's gaze was cold as she slashed down with her sword!
The thick, long, purple-gold light sword instantly engulfed Mu Shouzhen's body.

The audience at the martial arts hall and the candidates in the waiting area were all silent at this moment.

Only after the enormous lightsaber slowly dissipated due to exhaustion did they hurriedly look in Mu Shouzhen's direction.

Then a silver giant sword stood on the arena, and the girl's petite figure hid behind it. Her combat suit was covered in battle damage, revealing skin scorched black by the high temperature.

Her breathing had weakened considerably compared to before.

But she managed to block it in the end.

"Hmph, you've only just broken through; your foundation isn't solid enough yet. I've won this battle!"

Mu Shouzhen looked at Chen Nuoyi's breath returning to normal and the gradually uncontrollable shockwave, and laughed happily.

But she had only chuckled twice when a calm voice made her smile freeze instantly.

"The dragon's aura has returned."

A large amount of golden dragon energy flowed into Chen Nuoyi's body again, and the girl's aura surged once more, even stronger than before.

She gripped the Thousand Gold Sword tightly, and poured a large amount of purple-gold dragon energy into it, giving birth to a new hundred-meter-long lightsaber!

"No way, you brought a second one?! Are you cheating?!"

Mu Shouzhen's eyes widened, wanting to resist, but he found that he no longer had the strength.

boom--

The lightsaber once again engulfed her figure.

When the flames disappeared, only a small potato, roasted to a charcoal black, remained in the same spot.

thump--

Mu Shouzhen lay sprawled on the stage, his eyes swirling into the shape of mosquito coils, having been knocked unconscious.

In this battle, Chen Nuoyi undoubtedly won.

After the referee announced the result, before the audience in the martial arts hall could cheer, Chen Nuoyi rushed off the stage and pounced on Su Yuan.

"Su Yuan, I'm hungry!"

After venting his anger on Mu Shouzhen, the violent energy triggered by the awakening of his bloodline had disappeared.

The girl looked up at Su Yuan pitifully, as if begging to be fed.

Su Yuan had naturally prepared for this, and had already arranged for Yang Meier, a food delivery anchor from Yuanshi Media, to deliver a bunch of food, which should have arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall by now.

He pulled Chen Nuoyi out of the martial arts hall, took the takeout from Yang Meier who was being chased by a group of security guards, and then found a quiet corner to eat.

Su Yuan watched the girl eating heartily and with great relish until she had almost finished, then smiled and said:
"Now, the two of us freshmen have taken first place in both the Exorcism Department and the Swordsmanship Department for both freshmen and sophomores."

"I really want to know what kind of expressions the mentors of the second-year seed class will have when faced with this result. I bet they're completely overwhelmed."

Chen Nuoyi touched her flat stomach, shook her head, and said seriously:

"I wouldn't call myself number one. Without your help, I would have lost long ago."

"You are the only true number one student in your freshman and sophomore years at Zhuxie University."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan straightened his back considerably.

The same words spoken by different people can evoke completely different feelings.

The value of this level upgrade... even though the contribution points were earned by Chen Nuoyi herself.
