How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 240 - 0236: Blood Slaughter Institute, No Demon Points
"Make your own choice?"
Chen Yu was slightly startled. Most of the other trainees were assigned by teachers, although they would also consider the trainees' opinions.
He, on the other hand, had to make his own choice without any involvement from teachers or mentors.
"I choose the Blood Slaughter Institute."
Chen Yu, adhering to propriety, chose a branch suitable for the "Yuan Sha Divine Skill," which didn't surprise anyone.
Soon after,
A group of students from the Blood Slaughter Institute gathered at a corner of the mountaintop.
In the crowd,
Chen Yu spotted Duan Hao, from the Ancient Duan Family, who had also chosen the Blood Slaughter Institute.
Duan Hao's expression was indifferent, his eyes flashing with a hint of combativeness and provocation as they swept over Chen Yu.
This person, who ranked first in the "three-stage assessment," was quite dissatisfied with how Chen Yu had outshone him at the end.
"I am 'Teacher Ge Juntian' of the Blood Slaughter Institute."
A middle-aged man in a gray robe, with his hands behind his back and a commanding gaze, scanned the gathered students.
Among them,
The gaze of the gray-robed middle-aged man lingered slightly on Chen Yu, with a hint of warning.
Chen Yu felt his blood and spirit sink.
The menacing presence emanating from this man caused the Primordial Evil True Qi within him to stagnate, making him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Why does this Teacher Ge Juntian seem a bit hostile towards me?"
Chen Yu wondered.
Upon a moment's reflection,
Having publicly humiliated and defeated a female teacher on his first day at the academy, he suspected no teacher would harbor good feelings towards him because of his supposed insubordination.
At the same moment,
Chen Yu sensed a pair of resentful, icy glares from Grulfu in the distance.
"Hmph! Little beast! Ge Juntian has been pursuing me for years in the academy without success..."
Grulfu's lips curled with a mocking light.
Chen Yu, having just arrived at the No Demon Academy, was obviously unaware of the teachers' gossip.
Grulfu possessed a strong background in the academy, along with good looks and talent, making her an ideal spouse for many teachers.
"All of you must prepare ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones as the tuition fee for the first year."
Teacher Ge Juntian's emotionless voice sounded.
"Ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones!"
"Wasn't it seven thousand low-grade stones before? Why has the price increased?"
A small commotion arose among the crowd.
Of course, these new students could only grumble and didn't dare challenge the teachers of the No Demon Academy outright.
"The fees have increased this year. Furthermore, each branch can adjust the base price depending on their circumstances."
"Anyone who finds it too expensive may leave now."
Teacher Ge Juntian raised his hand.
The crowd fell silent, and no one spoke out again.
Most of these prodigies had significant backing, and at most, they would feel a pinch.
"That was close; I only have just over ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones left,"
Chen Yu silently wiped a bead of cold sweat.
Fortunately, while in the Royal City, he had sold some common demon cores he had won at a hunting competition.
He had held back from selling the high-quality cores from the Blood Dragon Beast and others.
Fifteen minutes later,
Several flying creatures carried the students to the No Demon Academy, where they completed their entrance procedures.
Each student received an Identity Token and two sets of No Demon Academy uniforms.
Next,
Teacher Ge Juntian led the students to a mountain peak shrouded in blood mist and filled with corrupt Qi.
"This is 'Blood Slaughter Peak,' where our branch is located, and where most of your cultivation life will be spent."
Teacher Ge Juntian's expression slightly softened.
As the people landed on "Blood Slaughter Peak," they felt the Blood Path's Yin Sha Qi, which aligned with their cultivation techniques.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here was relatively cold and turbulent.
Chen Yu felt his Primordial Evil True Qi becoming somewhat more active; even without cultivation, the True Qi was faintly nourished.

"Cultivating here, the 'Yuan Sha Divine Skill' could probably improve by ten to twenty percent in speed."
Chen Yu felt a surge of happiness.
Just this aspect alone made the ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones seem worthwhile.
Moreover,
There were many cultivation treasures in the academy, and every month there were several classes and even mentors to instruct them.
Whoosh!
A hauntingly beautiful figure drifted almost weightlessly through the gorges, like a ghost without mass.
The students stared in awe, many of them speechless.
She was a delicate, flower-like blood-robed young girl with baby-soft skin, exquisite features, and deep, obsidian-like eyes wrapped in layers of mist.
"This is 'Teacher Qiu Xiuyue' of our institute, who will arrange your next activities,"
Teacher Ge Juntian introduced.
Seeing the tender, baby-like girl in a blood robe, Teacher Ge Juntian tensed up, seemingly intimidated.
He then promptly left without lingering.
"Hmph, coward!"
The blood-robed girl, "Qiu Xiuyue," rolled her eyes at Teacher Ge Juntian, her enticing posture and rosy cheeks revealing glimpses of her milky, warm-toned skin.
Suddenly,
Sounds of young men swallowing filled the air.
Chen Yu felt a strange sensation about this seemingly sixteen- or seventeen-year-old Qiu Xiuyue.
Her aura was somewhat similar to that of the Blood Lotus "Tong Yuling."
This person's cultivation level seemed superior to both Ge Juntian and Grulfu, and her heart sensed the underlying power close to the Guiyuan Realm.
Simultaneously,
Qiu Xiuyue's bewitching eyes cheerfully swept over the young men.
Among them,
Her gaze lingered for a moment on both Duan Hao and Chen Yu.
"Ah!"
When Spiritual Sense swept over Chen Yu, Qiu Xiuyue revealed a hint of surprise.
"What's happening!"
Chen Yu suddenly felt a small cluster of Blood Crystal Flame that had been cultivated in his dantian pulse for a moment before returning to calm.
"It seems that the overall quality of this batch of students is indeed the strongest of the recent decades. The mentors and deans, once they finish their retreats and travels, will also be pleasantly surprised."
Qiu Xiuyue discreetly withdrew her gaze.
In the following hour,
Qiu Xiuyue introduced the "Blood Slaughter Peak" to the group of youngsters, along with some common knowledge to be aware of in the academy, and arranged accommodations for everyone.
"Isn't this living environment too poor?"
Some students complained.
The students' residences were arranged near the foot of the mountain, enjoying far less of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi than those mid-mountain and near the peak.
Chen Yu also frowned at this.
Each student was only assigned a simple stone house.
"Pay 10,000 low-grade Primordial Stones and two thousand 'No Demon Points' to reside in a cave dwelling above halfway up the mountain, where cultivating can increase your speed by over fifty percent."
Qiu Xiuyue chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu and some students could only give a wry smile.
Those "No Demon Points," every student received only five thousand upon entering the academy.
As for Primordial Stones,
Aside from the truly great families, having just paid the tuition fees, coming up with another 10,000 would not likely be easy.
"I want to live in a cave dwelling."
A cold voice came from the somber youth, Duan Hao.
He did not hesitate to take out 10,000 low-grade Primordial Stones and deducted the No Demon Points via his Identity Token.
Following him,
A few other students also chose to reside in the cave dwellings on halfway up Blood Slaughter Peak, enjoying a better environment and an increase in cultivation speed.
Most of the other students, however, did not have the confidence.
Some students might be able to afford that many Primordial Stones, but they would have to budget carefully.
"I have over a thousand low-grade Primordial Stones on hand, and five thousand No Demon Points."
Chen Yu felt quite financially strained.
Primordial Stones were less of a concern.
He had several Innate Demon Cores on hand, especially the one from the Blood Dragon Beast from the Guiyuan Realm, which was extremely valuable.
"Excuse me, Teacher Qiu, how can we obtain No Demon Points?"
A student mustered the courage to ask.
Previously,
All the students had learned that "No Demon Points" could be used to enjoy various benefits at No Demon Academy.
First, to exchange for cultivation techniques and secret techniques, one could only use No Demon Points.
Second, some training sites for enhancing Cultivation Techniques, True Flame, Spiritual Sense, and movement techniques also required No Demon Points.
Third, when some tutors teach core secrets, they require the consumption of No Demon Points.
Fourth, to purchase various cultivation resources, including renting flying mounts and venturing into foreign territories, one needed No Demon Points in addition to Primordial Stones...
In short,
At No Demon Academy, there is nowhere that doesn't need No Demon Points.
"That's a good question. The ways to obtain No Demon Points are not few."
Teacher Qiu was very patient.
"The most common ones include completing missions from the academy or the tutors, which will garner you No Demon Points and other rewards."
"Completing the corresponding academy training and passing the assessments will reward you with No Demon Points. Among them, the most representative is the forty-nine levels of the 'Ten Thousand Demon Tower'; each level passed offers corresponding rewards."
"Besides, No Demon Points can be privately traded."
The girl in the blood robe detailed some common ways to acquire No Demon Points.
After listening,
Chen Yu felt greatly reassured; the academy's way of survival was similar to sects, but relatively more free and easy.
At the very least,
There would be no wars among the academies, largely neutral towards Ancient Clans.
"By the way, the rewards for No Demon Points are extremely generous for the first place and top three in the 'Newcomer Competition' half a year from now, enough to tempt even us teachers."
Before leaving, Qiu Xiuyue added with a sudden smile.
Newcomer Competition?
Chen Yu had reviewed literature on the No Demon Academy and had heard of it, designed to motivate newcomers with rich rewards, not limited to No Demon Points.
Moreover,
This Newcomer Competition was not limited to the latest intake.
Anyone who had been in the academy for less than three years and was under twenty-five years old could participate.
Generally speaking,
For new students like Chen Yu, it was unlikely to achieve a high rank in the "Newcomer Competition"; even making it into the top ten was rare.
...
That night,
Chen Yu entered his own stone house and, as usual, quietly circulated the Yuan Sha Heart Method for two hours.
Thinking of the day's events, Chen Yu's Spiritual Sense touched the small cluster of Blood Crystal Flame deep within his Qi Sea.
"Flame Spirit, what was the situation with that female teacher today?"
Chen Yu asked.
"It could be that the other party has a similar attribute of Blood Path True Flame, or some kind of extremely compatible peculiar treasure or item."
The milky voice responded.
Chen Yu frowned slightly and continued to activate the "Flame Control Technique," absorbing and refining more of the sealed Blood Crystal Flame.
With the continuous refining in recent days, Chen Yu had nearly refined one tenth of the sealed Blood Flame.
At that moment, the blood bead in the arm's blood cocoon reduced slightly in size.
At this time, Chen Yu discovered that the amount of Blood Crystal Flame refined within the Qi Sea had reached a limit, and its overall manipulation felt a bit awkward, not as nimble as before.
"Master, you can't be greedy now; you must fully control the refined Spirit Flame. Moreover, your cultivation level and Spiritual Sense are also limiting the quantity control and power display of the Blood Flame."
The milky voice spoke.
"Mm."
Chen Yu nodded slightly, with just the refined amount of nearly one-tenth of the Blood Crystal Flame being enough to be invincible in the Innate stage and to intimidate and eliminate some in the Innate period.
