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

Chapter 301 Miss Xuanqi rolled her eyes!
"You...you want to be a sacrifice?"

Wei Yuxiu was somewhat surprised.

Why would anyone be so eager to do something so thankless and exhausting?

Su Yuan's tone was indifferent:

“Senior Wei, I saw your fire ritual last time very clearly; it was just a half-hearted attempt.”

"With your level of fire sacrifice intensity, you won't gain much no matter how many times you perform the sacrifice."

"But if you choose me to be burned at the stake, I can assure you that I will withstand the heat at least ten times longer than you."

Wei Yuxiu: "..."

As expected of the peerless genius who unified the first and second years of the Demon Extermination Department, he has finally shown his arrogant side!
But isn't there something wrong with the arrogant part?
Why would anyone compare who can withstand longer burns?
Wei Yuxiu had a strong urge to complain, but he had to admit that the fire resistance attribute was definitely a huge plus for his laboratory.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Yuxiu said seriously:
"Since you've offered to give it a try, I naturally won't refuse."

"And I won't burn your money for nothing. As long as you can hold on until I get a spiritual revelation, I'm willing to accept you into our team so that you can learn with my team next month."

Su Yuan remained noncommittal, simply taking off his outer garment and walking to the pyre where he hung himself.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of fuel was piled up at Su Yuan's feet.

A lab assistant holding a torch looked at Su Yuan with emotion and said:
"Su Yuan, we neglected you before, and we apologize to you."

"Rest assured, our laboratory will always remember your outstanding contributions to the Blazing Sun Sword Armor."

Having said that, the man threw the torch onto the fuel with a look of reverence.

In an instant, the rising flames enveloped Su Yuan completely.

Then, something surprising happened!

Despite being engulfed in flames, Su Yuan didn't utter a single cry of pain, only watching helplessly as his skin and flesh were charred by the intense heat.

Three minutes passed amidst the raging flames.

A beam of light descended from the sky and entered Wei Yuxiu's Niwan Palace.

When Wei Yuxiu immolated himself last time, the execution was abruptly stopped at this point, but Su Yuan remained comfortably hanging on the stake, motionless.

"Could it be that Su Yuan's vocal cords were burned by the first fire, and he's in so much pain that he can't speak?"

One of the lab assistants couldn't help but voice a guess.

Another lab assistant quickly asked:
"Su Yuan, are you alright?"

Then Su Yuan said in a calm tone:
"Not enough, add more fuel to the fire."

Everyone in the lab: "..."

It's a wolf killer.

The flames continued to burn for another ten minutes.

During this period, Wei Yuxiu gained three more points of spiritual light, and his total gains were comparable to four previous sacrifices.

The longer Su Yuan was burned, the more the laboratory staff respected him.

This is what dedication is all about!
He risked his own safety for scientific research, I really cried!

With such a high tolerance for pain, even if he entered the extremely evil Daoist world in a certain novel, he could probably become a ninth-level Grand Elder of the Jingjiao Cult.

Wei Yuxiu said nervously:

"Su Yuan, aren't you going to stop? Your body is almost burned through! I can see the view from your chest to your back."

Su Yuan: "Did it burn through? Looks like it's time to replenish our health."

As he spoke, he casually swallowed a Boundless Dao Seed Pill.

A phantom of a sea of ​​blood surged from the Tribulation Moon Pearl on Su Yuan's chest and established a connection with Su Yuan's body.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone in the laboratory, Su Yuan's body, which had been burned beyond recognition, recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Despite the continuous burns from the flames, he managed to grow back skin and hair, making it seem as if he had never been burned at all.

"continue."

Su Yuan's words were concise and to the point. The lab staff, numbly, helped Su Yuan add firewood to the fire.

Although they already knew from the battle video leaked during the monthly exam of the Exorcism Department that Su Yuan had some kind of damage immunity ability, they thought he shouldn't be immune to pain.

The lab members' guess was correct.

Pain sensations cannot be immune, but they can be temporarily stored.

Relying on the Demonic Art of Finger Body Warm-up, Su Yuan can temporarily store all negative feelings.

Although the storage time limit is only seven days, it is relatively easy to find a scapegoat during this period.

As for who should be the scapegoat?
Under normal circumstances, Su Yuan would pour all his negative feelings onto Wu Ziying.

However, this burning at the stake was somewhat unusual.

Even if Wu Ziying has a strong pain tolerance, and can even gain pleasure and strength from pain, she will most likely not be able to withstand the torment of being burned at the stake.

If you poured it all in at once, it would definitely make your eyes roll back.

Therefore, Su Yuan needs to find another candidate.

Using spirit beasts as food is certainly a good choice, but it's already pitiful enough that the food is being eaten. If they suffer a painful death, it will probably cause trouble for the protection organization.

So, where can we find a target who can endure the agony of being burned at the stake without being targeted by the organization?

After careful analysis, Su Yuan quickly selected his target.

This target was not an outsider, but his natal spirit sword, the Xuanqi Demon Sword.

Su Yuan has always been a vengeful person. He still remembers how the Xuanji Sword almost tricked him during the last monthly exam.

The Xuanqi Sword Spirit's intelligence, indistinguishable from that of a real person, also met the selection criteria for the Demonic Art: Finger Body.

As for the agreement between the sword master and his natal sword not to harm each other?

Haha, who said this is harm? This is clearly a deep emotional exchange with one's natal sword.

As for Esam, many sword masters and their signature swords use this method.

At least in the latest version of the Blue Star Federation's Natal Sword Binding Ceremony, this behavior is permitted.

That's right, this is part of my play with the Xuanqi Sword.

With this thought in mind, Su Yuan acted immediately, pouring all the pent-up pain from the burning at the stake, as well as the fatigue from the previous days, into the Xuanqi Sword.

The Xuanqi Sword, which was being trained by the tentacles of the Senluo Spirit Root, was suddenly struck by this calamity, and its entire blade began to tremble violently.

If the Xuanqi Sword Spirit had a physical form, it would definitely be driven to unconsciousness, its eyes rolling back as it is slaughtered.

The Xuanqi Sword Spirit trembled for a full three minutes before it finally regained its senses and roared angrily:
"Su Yuan, you bastard! I am a noble demonic sword! How could you treat me like this!"

Su Yuan said unhurriedly:
"Look, you're in a hurry again. I'm just trying to connect with you emotionally."

“After the last monthly exam, I found that we had a severe lack of communication. You only listen to me when you are being watched by your elders, and you are always ready to rebel.”

"So, I need to think of some ways to directly control you, like this kind of heart-wrenching pain."

"How about that? Did your favorability towards me skyrocket?"

Xuanqi Sword Spirit: "..."

"Your mother... (The following thousand words are omitted)"

Su Yuan's expression hardened: "It seems it still needs more heat; I need to increase the heat!"

Upon hearing this, the Xuanqi Sword trembled again, and immediately changed its words:
"Brother Su Yuan, my loyalty to you is as clear as day!"

Su Yuan checked the Xuanqi Sword's favorability towards him, and sure enough, it had plummeted to rock bottom.

What a charming swordsman who knows how to play along.

He said calmly:

"I don't care whether you're loyal to me or not, I've decided to burn myself every now and then."

"I'll accumulate more pain, and the moment you dare to rebel, I'll burn you alive! Until you're burned into obedience!"
