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

Chapter 469 Wow, there's even a bride kidnapping! (3K views, please subscribe!)

Chen Nuoyi couldn't understand how these dragons thought like that.

Didn't I already say that it was the Dragon Lord who admired Su Yuan? Why would you connect that to something like that!
So, in your eyes, the competition three days from now isn't an exchange between the younger generation of the two regions, but rather a martial arts contest to find a husband?
What is this?

With mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation, Chen Nuoyi spent a considerable amount of time explaining the situation to Long Bai and the other members of the delegation who had misunderstood, finally clearing up the strange misunderstanding.

But... judging from the looks in their eyes, they don't seem to really believe my explanation.

I'm exhausted, I'm giving up, that's it!
Despite the disdain of the Dragon Clan, Su Yuan was sent to a guest room to rest.

Fortunately, the dragons didn't send him to the cellar or put poisonous snakes or rats in his room; their hospitality was quite good.

Three days passed by in a flash.

Over three days, Su Yuan digested the surge in power through various strength training exercises.

While not reaching the level of meticulousness, it also avoids injuring someone due to uncontrolled force.

In addition, he also took some time to collect the interim rewards for the 'Demon Cult Rules Another World' mission.

[Mission Progress 1: Conquer the Local Sect (10/10)]

[Quest Reward: Demonic Skill - Finger Array (Level 4) *1 (Claimable)]

Demonic Technique: Finger Array is the ninth demonic technique in the Ten Demonic Finger series that Su Yuan obtained.

As can be seen from its name, it is the same type of demonic finger as the demonic art of finger spirit related to alchemy and the demonic art of finger weapon related to weapon crafting.

And its effect did not disappoint Su Yuan's expectations; it was the answer to the problem of array formations.

[Demonic Skill - Array Formation Initial Effect: Designates an array, consumes spiritual power, and reveals its weakness.]

[Demonic Technique - Finger Array - Chain Array: Records a hand-drawn array, consuming spiritual power to instantly generate at a designated location; the number generated is unlimited.]

[Demonic Skill - Array Formation Level 3 Effect - Grand Array: Records a hand-drawn array, consuming spiritual power to amplify its power. The maximum amplification of the array's power depends on the user's investment of spiritual power.]

[Demonic Technique - Array Formation - Copy: Consumes spiritual power to copy a specified array. The copied array can enjoy the effects of 'Chain Array' and 'Grand Array'. The level of the array that can be copied depends on the user's array mastery.]

Unlike the Demonic Finger Techniques and Demonic Finger Combinations, which drastically increase stats, the Demonic Finger Array gains a new effect with each upgrade.

This is similar to the Demonic Art of Finger Weapon and the Demonic Art of Finger Spirit.

Looking at these four effects, Su Yuan felt that there were countless ways to combine them. Whenever a formation was needed or an enemy formation was needed, the Demonic Art: Finger Formation could be used.

The newly added 'copy' effect at level four is incredibly powerful.

They don't even need to design their own formations; they can simply copy the enemy's formations and use them.

Then, relying on the other effects of the Demonic Art: Finger Array, one can generate several identical arrays in front of the enemy, and even enhance the power of the arrays to defeat the original with the pirated version.

That's incredibly evil.

If this were in the legally sound Blue Star Federation, using a set of magical techniques and finger arrays would incur countless infringements, resulting in either financial ruin or life imprisonment.

Fortunately, the Void World is not under the jurisdiction of the Blue Star Federation, so he can infringe on its rights with impunity here.

While Su Yuan spent these fulfilling three days, news of the exchange battle had already spread like wildfire throughout the Purple Gold Dragon Domain.

Countless cultivators who were not originally on Dragon Island also rushed towards Dragon Island, just to witness this grand event in person.

In fact, exchanges and battles between the two or even three domains occur every year, but in the past, they would never have caused such a sensation.

But this year is different.

Along with the news of the exchange battle this year, there was also a rumor circulating from Dragon Island.

—It seems that the Holy Son Su from the Netherworld has been chosen as the Dragon King's son-in-law!
After this exchange battle ends, barring any unforeseen circumstances, that kid will be marrying Chen Nuoyi, the most dazzling pearl of the Purple Gold Dragon Domain and the personal disciple of the Purple Gold Dragon Lord.

An unknown young man has won the favor of the Dragon Lord and is about to eat the softest meal in the entire Taixu World. Who wouldn't want to go and see for themselves?

And so, the news of the Dragon King's son-in-law spread like wildfire, and soon became distorted.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they were heading to a wedding, not an exchange competition.

Su Yuan, one of the parties involved, was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this news on the day of the exchange match.

Nuoyi tried her best to refute the rumors, but it seems to have had little effect.

Inside a large arena in the center of Dragon Island.

When Su Yuan arrived, the stands were already packed with people. From the ground to the sky, the audience, whether dragons or humans, practically formed a sphere around the venue.

If you count them up, the number of viewers has probably exceeded one million.

"Tsk tsk, so many people have come to join in the fun, but this exchange battle is going to be a one-off event."

Standing in the waiting area, Su Yuan looked at the huge crowds in all directions and shook his head helplessly.

"People from the Purple Gold Dragon Domain must have a lot of free time to travel such a long distance just to watch a match that might only last a few minutes."

"I wonder if they'll yell for a refund after watching this fake match."

Just then, a staff member approached Su Yuan:
"Sage Su Yuan, the time for the duel has arrived. You may enter the arena now."

"it is good."

Su Yuan replied politely, then strode towards the arena with his thick legs covered in purplish-black dragon scales.

The staff member stared at Su Yuan's tall, imposing figure and couldn't help but swallow hard. If he wasn't mistaken, Su Yuan's physical strength was already comparable to that of a pure-blooded true dragon at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Their goddess is only at the late Golden Core stage. Can her small body withstand a punch from Su Yuan?
On the stage, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi stood facing each other.

The two stared at each other under the watchful eyes of everyone, both seeing helplessness in each other's gaze.

With such a grand atmosphere, how should we approach the fight?
Never mind, let's fix the match!

Chen Nuoyi drew her Thousand Gold Sword, and Su Yuan drew his Crimson Yuan Sword. The two quickly closed in on each other and swung their swords at the same time.

clang--

The two swords erupted with a fierce clang, and the intense metallic vibrations filled the ears of the audience, causing those with lower cultivation levels to feel dizzy.

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi, who were the sword masters, were taken aback.

They wondered, "We didn't use any force, so why is the sound so loud?"

What the two were unaware of was that the intense sword clash not only contained the sound of metal clashing, but also an encrypted communication between sword spirits.

Qianjin Sword: "Oh my, what kind of eyebrow-flirting sword technique is this? It has no power at all!"

Crimson Yuan Sword: "Hmph! My master is just afraid of hurting Chen Nuoyi. If he were to get serious, both you and Chen Nuoyi would be severely injured."

Qianjin Sword: "You little brat, you really don't know any humor at all. What, are you jealous of your master and your future mistress?"

Crimson Sword: "What do you mean by 'future mistress'? Don't talk nonsense!"

Qianjinjian: "Tsk tsk, that's why I always said you little brat are hard to get along with. Sigh... You'd better grow up quickly."

Crimson Sword: "!!!"

"Huh, why does Akagami seem unusually lively today?"

Feeling the tremor of the Crimson Yuan Sword in his hand and the flickering crimson light on its blade, Su Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

He always felt that if he let go, the Crimson Yuan Sword would pounce on him and bite him.

Could it be that this girl doesn't get along with Qianjinjian?
Forget it, let's keep acting and fighting.

Under Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi's deliberate control, they communicated with each other using their eyes, telling each other where they would strike before drawing their swords.

The clanging and clattering sounds echoed continuously on the arena.

The more they fought, the more skilled they became, and the smoother their movements became, like a duet sword dance.

It's definitely that feeling of 'Stop it! Stop fighting! You're not going to kill anyone if you keep hitting like this.'

This scene gradually plunged the initially expectant audience into deep thought.

The fierce battle they imagined never seemed to exist in the first place!

They talked about a political marriage, about how the goddess Chen endured humiliation and was forced to marry a poor boy from out of town.

Pure bullshit!

These two were clearly in cahoots from the start!

Boring! We want to see rivers of blood!
"How could this exchange match be fair to us?! Give us our money back!"

A spectator stood up from his seat and shouted indignantly.

His words immediately resonated with many, and many viewers shouted for a refund.

Seeing this, Su Yuan was not surprised at all.

We let you join in the fun, we let you believe and spread rumors, you're so stupid!

However, just as Su Yuan was inwardly cursing these bloodthirsty spectators who loved to join in the fun, a Milky Way suddenly flowed across the sky.

It was a silvery-white Milky Way composed of countless stars, and even at noon, the sun's brilliance could not obscure its endless expanse.

The moment the galaxy appeared, everything on the arena paled in comparison.

All the spectators couldn't help but look up at the sky, even Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi on the stage.

Upon seeing that familiar Milky Way, Su Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling.

As expected, two figures came treading across the Milky Way. Standing in front was a pink-haired fairy with an unparalleled figure, wearing a flowing fairy dress with wide sleeves.

Standing to her side and behind was a pink-haired girl who looked cheerful and loved to laugh and resembled the pink-haired fairy by a third.

Who else could it be but Xinghe Tianjun and Qi Hanya!

Su Yuan: "???"

What... why are these two here?

Under Su Yuan's shocked gaze, Star River Heavenly Lord slowly spoke:
"It's quite lively here. I heard they're holding some kind of martial arts contest to find a husband, and the main characters are Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi?"

"You didn't even inform me of such a big thing, Senior Dragon Lord, you really are being unfair."

The moment Xinghe Tianjun appeared, Zijin Longzun, who had been behind the scenes, also revealed himself, looking at the two uninvited guests with some displeasure.

"You were not invited to my disciple and Su Yuan's grand gathering."
