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

Chapter 337 Let's set a small goal first: take down the second-largest power in the Federation!
"Well, let's skip the formalities and get started now that everyone's here."

At the top of the tower, Xuan Haoran, looking like an unemployed young man at home, scratched his head and said lazily.

His relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if he wasn't attending a sword-testing tournament that gathered the top geniuses of the Blue Star Federation, but rather going to a local market.

Even though the members of the top ten school teams all knew that Xuan Haoran was very strong, his attitude still made many people dissatisfied.

Xuan Haoran's next words were even more shocking, stunning almost everyone present.

"Given that the opponents in this sword-fighting tournament are somewhat weak, directly fighting in the arena would not be very challenging, so I devised a rule."

Xuan Haoran said calmly:

"Do you see this nine-story pagoda standing beneath my feet?"

“I can give you fifteen days to set up the site inside the tower.”

"Whether you set traps or create an environment that is favorable to yourself, you can use any tricks you can to your advantage in the process. I will not impose any restrictions."

"However, the number of floors in the tower is limited, and I'm too lazy to fight all of you."

"The top ten school teams have a total of two hundred people, right? When you enter the tower, you can choose any floor. Once you choose a floor, you must defeat all your competitors on the same floor within fifteen days in order to become a gatekeeper."

"All of your competitors' site arrangements can be taken over by the victor until you build yourself into the strongest war fortress."

"And I will officially begin my tower challenge in fifteen days. Once I start, I will not rest or accept any supplies, including resources from the loot."

After explaining the rules of the sword-testing tournament, Xuan Haoran yawned:
"That's settled then. Please do your best over the next fifteen days."

Su Yuan, one of the members of the top ten school teams, couldn't suppress his displeasure any longer after patiently waiting for Xuan Haoran to finish speaking.

So crazy!
Xuan Haoran is incredibly arrogant!
Indeed, if it were a one-on-one head-on clash in the ring, even Guo Zhengyi, the top student in the entire school and the second-best student in the Federation, might not be a match for Xuan Haoran.

But he deliberately chose to give a top expert like Guo Zhengyi fifteen days to prepare.

As everyone knows, Batman has never won a fight, but he has never lost a duel.

Similarly, a prepared cultivator and an unprepared cultivator are two completely different concepts.

Moreover, Xuan Haoran will not stop or accept supplies while climbing the tower.

How is this any different from being subjected to a tag-team battle by nine powerful individuals?
Under all these rules, let alone Xuan Haoran being just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even some of the less experienced Golden Core stage instructors from the top ten would probably fall at some level.

It is no exaggeration to say that the rules of the Sword Trial Tournament are an insult to all members of the ten school teams.

A senior student, unable to bear it any longer, stepped out of the line and shouted:

"I object!"

"Heavenly Evolution God, the rules you set are too unfair. Even if we win under such rules, we will not feel any sense of accomplishment!"

Xuan Haoran looked down at the senior student, not angry, and simply said:

"Is it unfair? I think it's very fair."

"I don't mean to look down on anyone, I'm just stating a fact."

"Let me tell you one more thing, the ability of my eyes is..."

As he spoke, Xuan Haoran pointed to his dead fish eyes:
"Predict future."

The moment the words "foresee the future" were uttered, the entire hall fell silent.

Xuan Haoran continued:

"I can see anything that will happen in the next twenty seconds, and this is a passive talent that doesn't need to be activated and lasts indefinitely."

"With the ability to clearly see the trajectory of all your moves, ring battles are too unfair to you. Only ruthless arena battles can bring me a little bit of fun."

"So please do your best to satisfy me."

After saying that, amidst the silence of the crowd, Xuan Haoran lightly jumped off the tower, scratched his butt, and left.

The top ten school team members: "..."

As Xuan Haoran said, the rules of the Sword Testing Tournament were indeed fair.

No one had any further objections.

Inside the Zhuxie University team, Jiang Taibai slowly spoke:
"There are only fifteen days left. Time is of the essence. We need to finalize the number of floors to enter the tower as soon as possible and set up a venue that can be used to target the ability to foresee the future."

Guo Zhengyi also said in a deep voice:
"That's right, and everyone shouldn't be scared by the so-called prediction of the future."

“Xuan Haoran is going to challenge the tower after all. As long as we set up a trap at the entrance, even if he can foresee everything, he will have to fight us in a real battle. Our chances of winning are not low.”

Lü Tianqiao then said:

"The problem now is how to choose the number of floors in the tower."

"If all the strong players gather on the same floor and fight until only one person remains, it will greatly weaken the school team's strength."

"The best configuration is to have one of the top ten college students in the Federation guard each floor, so as to pose the greatest threat to Xuan Haoran."

"It's quite obvious that the later the floors are, the more advantageous it is for the gatekeeper. It's not so easy to distribute the tower floors evenly."

Su Yuan listened quietly to the discussion among the three experts from the Demon-Slaying University without saying a word.

He was worried that the so-called prediction of the future was just a smokescreen thrown out by Xuan Haoran.

It's not that Xuan Haoran doesn't have this ability, but rather that this ability is not Xuan Haoran's strongest skill.

This concern is not unfounded, because according to the dog system's introduction of Xuan Haoran, this guy was born with mysterious eyes, so his talent for predicting the future is most likely something he was born with.

The Nascent Soul inheritance that the Pavilion Master of Guantian Pavilion prepared for Xuan Haoran might be a different method altogether.

Thinking about it this way, Xuan Haoran's predicament has become even more difficult. "Su Yuan, this sword-testing tournament sounds really tough. How about we just coast through and then quit?"

As Su Yuan frowned, Qi Hanyue tugged at his sleeve and uttered her usual rascal-like remarks.

This time, however, Su Yuan was not angry.

Since he truly saw no hope of winning the sword-testing tournament, perhaps giving up early and not getting stuck on it was the best choice.

But just then, a sophisticated and elegant voice suddenly rang out from behind:
"Want to give up?"

Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, and Qi Hanyue turned around instinctively and immediately saw the smiling Wuluo Zhenjun.

Before the three could greet each other, the magnanimous red-haired woman reached out and pulled her own daughter and disciple into her arms.

As she gently stroked the two beautiful girls' long, soft hair with maternal warmth, she looked at Su Yuan and smiled, saying:
"Su Yuan, I actually hope you will perform well in this sword-testing tournament."

"Because this sword-testing tournament was not actually Xuan Haoran's idea, but rather the idea of ​​the Guantian Pavilion Master."

"What does the Celestial Lord of Transformation mean?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan's expression turned serious.

Wu Luo Zhenjun said:
"I won't hide it from you, the sword-testing tournament is just a pretext."

"On this basis, we will gather the most talented young people in the entire Federation and select the best of the best to participate in a very important project."

"Xuan Haoran is more of a quality inspector than a challenger."

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Perhaps this is what their master meant by the true purpose of Xuan Haoran and Wuluo Zhenjun.

The plan of the Heavenly Lord of Transformation was indeed somewhat tempting to Su Yuan.

After all, even a tiny bit of something leaked from the fingers of such a big shot would be enough to make him a fortune.

However, Su Yuan quickly calmed down and asked a pointed question:

"Senior Wuluo, may I ask what level of performance is considered good?"

Wu Luo Zhenjun tilted his head and smiled:
"It's not difficult. As long as you lead your team to clear any level of the tower and become the gatekeeper, you can be considered to have performed well."

Su Yuan: "..."

Why can your mouth, which is supposed to be 37 degrees Celsius, utter such cold words?

Gatekeeper?
Judging from the previous discussion between Guo Zhengyi and the other two, each floor of the nine-story pagoda must have at least one college student from the top ten in the Federation.

As a college student who has just started the second semester of my freshman year, how am I supposed to compete with the top ten in the federal system?

However, Su Yuan quickly realized what was happening.

What Wu Luo Zhenjun just said wasn't just about him, but about the entire team!

Oh, right! The team!
Even if there is only one guardian for each level, a powerful team can be formed before the guardian is chosen, to set up the battlefield environment together and defeat the competitors together.

It is quite obvious that Su Yuan's team is the core of the Yuan Cult.

Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyue need no introduction, and Zhu Tianqing from the Wan Shou University team can also be considered a member of their team.

What one person can't do, a team of four can do much better.

Su Yuan was very clear about his own advantages. If he were to face Guo Zhengyi and the others head-on, he would definitely be no match for them. However, once he made full preparations and created a battlefield environment that was extremely favorable to him, it might be worth a shot.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I will give it a try."

Lord Wuluo nodded in satisfaction, then vigorously rubbed his daughter's and disciple's heads before disappearing from sight.

This True Lord clearly used some kind of method to isolate herself from the outside world; her appearance and disappearance, as well as her previous conversation with Su Yuan, went unnoticed by anyone.

Su Yuan took out his phone and contacted Zhu Tianqing. After bringing her into the team, Su Yuan's team was officially established.

Meanwhile, Guo Zhengyi and his two companions had already begun negotiating with the leaders of other school teams.

Most other school teams have only two leaders, but Xinghe University and Zhenwu University, like Zhuxie University, have three leaders.

These twenty-three individuals were all the prodigies among the students of the ten major immortal sects who had successfully cultivated the complete Nascent Soul inheritance.

They are among the top 23 college students in the nation, with limitless potential.

After more than half an hour of negotiations, the twenty-three federal prodigies finally reached an agreement.

The agreement was simple: the number of floors in the tower would be chosen according to the federation ranking of the prodigies.

The ninth and tenth ranked prodigies occupy the first floor of the tower and lead another prodigy from their family who has mastered the complete Divine Transformation inheritance to compete with others to determine the guardian of the first floor.

In addition, the second to ninth floors of the tower are occupied by the eighth to the first ranked geniuses in the Federation, respectively.

Students from the same school as these eight prodigies, who had also mastered the complete Divine Transformation inheritance, were on the same level as them, working together to create a battlefield environment to deal with Xuan Haoran.

Under this agreement, Guo Zhengyi, Jiang Taibai, and Lü Tianqiao occupied the eighth floor of the tower.

If all goes as expected, Guo Zhengyi will be the guardian of the eighth level, and Jiang Taibai and Lü Tianqiao will assist him using their own methods.

The number of floors in other universities is roughly the same.

As for how to allocate those school team members who did not complete the complete Divine Transformation inheritance.
It doesn't matter.

Could these people possibly offer any help in the fight against Xuan Haoran?
Let them choose a floor they like and try it out, get some experience, that's all. What more do they want?
