How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 249 - 0245 Leaving a Name on the Demon Stele

Chapter 249: Chapter 0245: Leaving a Name on the Demon Stele Chapter 249 -0245: Leaving a Name on the Demon Stele Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

Every time Chen Yu successfully passed a trial, Nie Xuan had essentially completed her assessment too.

This stirred up Chen Yu’s competitiveness, making him decisively overwhelming in power, shattering everything each time he attempted a trial.

Nie Xuan did the same.

During the entrance assessment, though Chen Yu was strong, she believed she could defeat him and treated him as her whetstone.

Thus, she would not willingly fall behind Chen Yu in terms of the speed of advancing through the tower.

“We’ve reached the sixteenth floor!”

In the dim space, Chen Yu stood calmly.

Having continuously passed fifteen floors, Chen Yu had gained some understanding of the patterns of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

Every five floors was a watershed. Floors ten to fifteen corresponded to the Postnatal Late Stage, with the tenth floor being the entry level of Postnatal Late Stage and the fifteenth floor corresponding to the top level of Postnatal Late Stage.

Starting from the sixteenth floor, it corresponded to the Postnatal Peak!

Whoosh!

A burst of black fog suddenly emerged in the space, emitting a strong demonic aura.

Suddenly, a shadow shot out from within. Unlike the previous Black Armor Demons, this time’s enemy was a demon creature, three meters tall, with stout limbs and a muscular long tail, looking fierce and terrifying.

Swoosh!

With one step forward, Chen Yu activated his Copper Statue Gang Body and pounced toward this ferocious demon creature.

Boom!

Fists and claws collided, causing the Black Armored Demon to tremble and stagger back two steps.

“It’s so tough!”

Chen Yu grinned.

Enemies inside the Ten Thousand Demon Tower had low agility but outstanding defensive power and strength.

This Postnatal Peak Black Armored Demon was only slightly weaker than Chen Yu in terms of strength.

Other people navigating the tower would certainly engage the enemies from a distance, biding their time for a chance to win.

But Chen Yu was fearless; since the start of his cultivation, he had always preferred close combat, and there had never been an opponent who wished to fight him up close!

“Now it gets interesting!”

Chen Yu, undaunted, charged forward again.

The first fifteen floors were child’s play to him, but this sixteenth-floor Black Armored Demon was slightly more enduring.

Boom!

Chen Yu fought the Black Armored Demon close-quarters, his attacks ferocious and unstoppable.

From afar, it looked as though two demons were tearing at each other.

At a certain moment.

“Die!”

Cloud Evil True Qi condensed in his hand, a surge of Evil Qi forming a dark black punch that struck the chest of the Black Armored Demon.

Previously, Chen Yu had navigated the tower using only his physical strength.

Now that he was using True Qi, his offensive power immediately escalated to a new level.

Boom~

Already heavily scarred, the Black Armored Demon, centered at its chest, spread numerous cracks before shattering.

Having passed the test successfully, the No Demon Points inside the Identity Token increased once again.

Having passed sixteen trials continuously, his No Demon Points had now accumulated to thirty thousand points.

Of course, the further he went, the more No Demon Points he earned with each level passed.

For example, Chen Yu had only obtained two hundred No Demon Points for passing the first level, but for passing the sixteenth, he had received four thousand No Demon Points.

After passing the trial, Chen Yu returned to the tower.

This time, he didn’t see Nie Xuan.

Alone in defeating a Postnatal Peak monster with strong defense and power, even a genius like Nie Xuan couldn’t accomplish it quickly.

Chen Yu stepped alone into the entrance of the next layer.

Though thirty thousand No Demon Points seemed extensive, he had nearly the same amount previously, quickly depleted.

Before Chen Yu entered the next level.

Buzz!

A faint glow suddenly appeared in the tower.

Nie Xuan stepped out from it, her face losing its usual confidence upon seeing the figure that entered the next layer.

“He’s faster than me?”

Nie Xuan found it hard to believe, feeling somewhat disturbed.

Swoosh!

Nie Xuan swiftly charged toward the next layer.

Outside.

The Seventeenth layer of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower lit up, which was expected by the academy.

After all, Nie Xuan was ranked first among the freshmen, and Zheng Shifeng had also passed the seventeenth layer; Puppet Master Kong Zhong had even passed the eighteenth layer. Under normal circumstances, Nie Xuan’s performance wouldn’t fall below these two.

It wasn’t long before the eighteenth layer lit up again.

“It’s so fast, she’s already reached the eighteenth layer!”

Although Kong Zhong had also reached the eighteenth layer, he was far slower.

“No wonder she’s the second in the entrance assessment, I heard Nie Xuan has some connections with the academy’s instructors and must have favorable conditions inside the academy. Perhaps she could surpass Duan Hao, who was first in the assessment!”

Nearby students discussed animatedly.

Besides the eighteenth layer being lit, the seventeenth layer was also illuminated.

Meaning, the three people inside were distributed on these two layers.

“It seems Nie Xuan is far ahead of the other two!”

“That’s only natural, that beast-skinned lad didn’t even understand the rules of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower. So foolish, getting to the seventeenth layer was already good enough, how could he compare to Nie Xuan!”

Some students teased laughingly.

Just then, the seventeenth layer’s light dimmed.

At the exit of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, a figure appeared.

“Brother Wang?”

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Most students thought the first one to come out would be that beast-skinned lad, but it turned out to be the senior student with the surname Wang.

“Ah, last time I reached the seventeenth layer too, and this time I still didn’t pass!”

The Wang-surnamed student laughed wistfully.

“Brother Wang, where is that kid? Didn’t he come out with you?”

A senior student stepped forward to ask.

“What? The kid hasn’t come out yet?”

Shock appeared on the face of the young Wang.

He had thought that the youth in the beast hide armor would have come out before him.

Looking up, only the eighteenth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower was shimmering with a faint glow.

Could it be that the youth in beast hide armor and Nie Xuan were both challenging the eighteenth floor?

“Who is that youth in beast hide armor? To have such capabilities?”

“Have you heard during the assessment, someone challenged a teacher and defeated them to enter the inner academy?”

Gradually, news of Chen Yu’s deeds spread, becoming known to all the students present.

Although Gulifu also suppressed her cultivation to the Postnatal Middle Stage, she was still a teacher, and defeating her was something even someone with the strength of the Postnatal Late Stage would find difficult.

This meant Chen Yu’s strength might be very close to Nie Xuan’s.

Everyone looked up at the eighteenth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, eagerly anticipating what would happen next.

Eighteenth Floor.

Boom! Bang!

Chen Yu was in combat with three Black Armored Demons of the Postnatal Peak stage.

Even though Chen Yu, with his physical constitution and well-developed Copper Statue Gang Body, felt somewhat strained, he was fortunate his defensive power and recovery abilities were monstrous, and he had no major troubles.

“Ha ha, exhilarating!”

Chen Yu’s fists continuously hammered down, each punch striking with gratifying force.

Body Cultivators loved close combat—the this style of fighting allowed Chen Yu to fully exhibit his strength, giving him an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

Moreover, the attacks from the Black Armored Demons, just at the right intensity, greatly honed his Copper Statue Gang Body.

From the sixteenth to the eighteenth floor, Chen Yu felt an improvement in his Copper Statue Gang Body.

“Evil Qi Form!”

He threw a punch, and between his arms, a black serpent formed from Evil Qi hissed, surrounded by a layer of dark haze.

This strike, “Evil Qi Form,” infused with a bit of dark True Qi, had its power immensely amplified, comparable to the Early Innate stage.

Boom!

The Black Armored Demon struck by this punch had its entire arm and a portion of its torso obliterated—if not for its astounding defensive power, it would have been completely destroyed.

Immediately after, Chen Yu landed several more punches, finishing it off.

Only two Black Armored Demons were left, and Chen Yu, with decreasing pressure, soon eliminated them one by one.

Afterward, Chen Yu stepped onto the nineteenth floor!

Outside.

The light on the nineteenth floor was somewhat expected, but still astonished all the students.

They were curious about who reached the nineteenth floor first.

Nineteenth Floor.

Chen Yu had no choice but to bring out his Xuan Heavy Sword.

Facing four Black Armored Demons of the Postnatal Peak simultaneously, it was fortunate they lacked high intelligence, mindlessly attacking the challenger. If they had been four human enemies, Chen Yu might not have dared to act recklessly.

Roar!

True Qi surged, and Chen Yu’s form darted forward, stirring a fearsome squall.

He took the initiative, deploying his movement technique secret arts, targeting one of the Black Armored Demons.

Activating his Gang Body and incorporating True Qi, coupled with that astonishing impulse, Chen Yu’s sword strike was unprecedentedly powerful.

Boom!

The Black Armored Demon, slow to react, took the direct hit from Chen Yu, its form blasted dozens of feet away, crashing heavily onto the ground, its arm wrecked.

At the same time, the remaining three charged at Chen Yu.

Boom!

His legs powered up, and Chen Yu’s body burst forth, breaking out of the encirclement.

Previously, Chen Yu had always fought in close combat, but this time, employing the secrets of his movement technique, his agility increased, and so did his striking power slightly.

These Black Armored Demons lacked agility. Once Chen Yu used “Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow,” he moved like a fish through water, easily managing the four Black Armored Demons.

Before long, Chen Yu cleared the nineteenth floor and entered the twentieth.

Outside, excitement erupted.

“As a freshman, reaching the twentieth floor on his first attempt is already a genius feat; whether he can pass the twentieth floor and leave his name on the ‘Ten Thousand Demon Stele’ remains to be seen!”

“To leave one’s name on the ‘Ten Thousand Demon Stele’ during a freshman’s first tower run hasn’t been seen for many years, even Nie Xuan might find it challenging!”

“That Chen Yu is also impressive, to have reached the nineteenth floor!”

“Regardless, these two have made a name for themselves at No Demon Academy!”

At this moment, both the nineteenth and twentieth floors of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower were lit, nearly everyone believed Nie Xuan was challenging the twentieth floor, with Chen Yu on the nineteenth.

Suddenly, the light on the nineteenth floor dimmed.

But no one came down; instead, the light emanating from the twentieth floor deepened and extended.

“Good heavens, both of them have reached the twentieth floor!”

“That Chen Yu can actually reach the twentieth floor alongside Nie Xuan!”

Outcries erupted.

Not far from the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, its eerie glow on the twentieth floor visible, more and more students gathered, and even some teachers were drawn over.

Clank! Clank!

A genteel youth clad in brocade rushed over—this person was none other than Situ Lin Yu of the Situ Family, one of the four grand aristocratic families.

“Brother Situ, you’ve come too!”

Several newcomers immediately thronged around him.

Within a few words, Situ Lin Yu learned of the situation.

“Oh? Chen Yu and Nie Xuan have both reached the twentieth floor?”

Situ Lin Yu’s eyes sparkled with a strange light; although he had never challenged the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, he knew something about it.

In his opinion, Nie Xuan and Chen Yu could have passed the nineteenth floor, but crossing the twentieth floor seemed almost impossible.

Just then.

Hmm!

Beneath the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, the Ten Thousand Demon Stele surged with a subtle wave, and at the bottom of the rankings, a faint light point emerged.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily fixed on it, and Situ Lin Yu also showed a surprised expression.

Gradually,

A shining name outlined itself on the Ten Thousand Demon Stele.
