How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 250 - 0246 Trading Puppets

Chapter 250: Chapter 0246: Trading Puppets Chapter 250 -0246: Trading Puppets Two new students reached the twentieth floor on their first attempt at the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, and this news spread quickly from the tower as the center.

Especially among the teachers’ circle, which possesses means for message transmission, the news traveled extremely fast.

Devil Wind Institute.

A Confucian-robed elder took out an Identity Token and then smiled, “It’s beyond my expectations that Nie Xuan could reach the twentieth floor!”

At the same time, the Confucian-robed elder remembered Chen Yu from the new student assessments, whom the message mentioned had also reached the twentieth floor.

This year’s new students were indeed surprising.

Whoosh!

A residual image flashed, and the Confucian-robed elder disappeared.

On the other hand, Liu Xuanzong, an instructor from the Blood Slaughter Institute, also learned of this message.

“Chen Yu actually reached the twentieth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower on his first try?”

Liu Xuanzong’s face showed a slight shock.

“Perhaps there is some mistake in the message…”

Next to him, Ge Juntian wore an embarrassed expression, unwilling to admit this point.

The stronger the talent Chen Yu displayed, the more attention he would receive from the academy, making it troublesome for Ge Juntian even if he wanted to deliberately suppress him.

“Hehe, there’s no mistake!”

Liu Xuanzong chuckled softly and leaped out.

“Chen Yu ah, win some honor for me, just surpass the twentieth floor, and by no means lose to Devil Wind Institute’s Nie Xuan!”

Liu Xuanzong muttered in his heart.

The Blood Slaughter Institute and Devil Wind Institute are two of the No Demon Academy’s strongest institutes, with extremely fierce competition and they have always been evenly matched.

Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

Whoosh!

When Liu Xuanzong arrived, Mr. Xu from the Devil Wind Institute also happened to reach the spot, the two exchanged a glance, both displaying confidence.

Beyond that, two other instructors from different institutes hurried over.

Just at that moment.

Hum!

Below the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, the Ten Thousand Demon Stele showed a flicker of disturbance, and at the bottom of the rankings, a faint luminous dot emerged.

All present tightened their spirit; such a phenomenon on the Ten Thousand Demon Stele certainly meant someone had surpassed the twentieth floor.

The two instructors also fixed their gaze on the Stele.

If the Stele showed no anomalies, then the geniuses of the two sub-halls would at least be on par, but since the Stele showed an anomaly, there’s victory and defeat!

Gradually.

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

It was none other than the two characters “Chen Yu”!

“It’s Chen Yu, he has passed the twentieth floor!”

“Didn’t expect it to be Chen Yu, does he really have such strength?”

Around them, there was a buzz of astonishment, and most found it hard to believe.

The twentieth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower represents the top-tier Postnatal Peak, just a step away from the Innate.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu, merely at the Postnatal Middle Stage, possessed such strength, which was truly hard to believe.

“Haha, Old Xu, the students from my Blood Slaughter Institute are not bad, right?”

Liu Xuanzong laughed heartily.

He had previously been somewhat anxious, thinking it more likely Nie Xuan could have been the first to break through, but now the results were out, his heart brimmed with joy.

“Not bad, slightly stronger than last year!”

Mr. Xu maintained a calm composure.

Last year, Blood Slaughter Institute was slightly inferior to Devil Wind Institute.

Inside the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

“I’ve passed the twentieth floor!”

Chen Yu let out a long breath of relief.

Even he took some time to get past due to the five black-armored demons at the Postnatal Peak.

Immediately afterward, Chen Yu appeared inside the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, and in front of him was the entrance to the twenty-first floor.

“The twenty-first floor should correspond to the Early Innate stage!”

Chen Yu’s expression became serious.

According to the style of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, enemies at the Early Innate stage surely combined both strength and defense.

In such a case, even Chen Yu would find it difficult to break through their defenses without using “Dragon Scale Bloodline,” “Blood Crystal Flame,” and such trump cards.

Moreover, given Chen Yu’s cultivation level, passing the twentieth floor was already a marvel; if he could also surpass the twenty-first, although attracting significant attention from the academy, it would also be the same as telling others he carried a unique treasure.

And, the Bloodline Power drawn from the mysterious heart was limited; there was no need to waste it on the challenges.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yu opted to give up on continuing the challenge.

Although he chose to give up, he had already passed the twentieth floor, so there was no harm in taking a look at the twenty-first.

Afterward, Chen Yu stepped into the twenty-first floor.

Meanwhile.

On the battlefield of the twentieth floor, Nie Xuan.

She had already dealt with one of the five black-armored demons, leaving wounds of varying degrees on the remaining four.

But Nie Xuan, having consecutively fought her way here, was also greatly exhausted. Facing the onslaught of five same-ranked enemies, numerous wounds had appeared on her body.

“I cannot surpass the twentieth floor this time, but next time I will definitely leave my name on the Ten Thousand Demon Stele!”

Nie Xuan decided to give up.

If she had directly challenged the twentieth floor, she would have a sixty to seventy percent chance of passing, but the consecutive challenges of the nineteen floors prior, where each guardian was excellent in defense without obvious weaknesses, had greatly drained her.

“That guy probably finished before me, huh!”

Nie Xuan suddenly thought of Chen Yu.

Being in the midst of the challenge, she couldn’t know the situation outside.

Exit of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

Nie Xuan walked out with a confident smile, believing her performance should be first among the new students.

However, when she saw the expressions of the many people outside the tower, her heart skipped a beat, and she sensed something was wrong.

Looking up, she saw the twenty-first floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, emitting a dark and enigmatic glow.

“How could this be? He passed the twentieth floor!”

Nie Xuan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, disbelieving what she saw.

But challengers of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower can’t tackle the tower until the one inside has come out.

And on the Ten Thousand Demon Stele, Chen Yu’s name had suddenly appeared!

The twenty-first floor.

The environment in which Chen Yu found himself on was drastically different from the previous twenty floors.

The battleground of the twenty-first floor was filled with an extremely chaotic negative energy, with the domineering essence of demons, the aura of blood slaughter, and the gloomy atmosphere of Ghost Path.

At the same time, the enemy Chen Yu faced also underwent some change.

That Black Armored Demon of Early Innate level had seen quite a boost in speed.

Overall, the difficulty from the twentieth to the twenty-first floor had not slightly increased.

“Next time, I’ll come back to play with you!”

Chen Yu retreated sharply backward while communicating with his Identity Token.

Soon after, he vanished from the spot to reappear on the first floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

As he stepped out, everyone looked at him as if he were a monster.

Among them, there were gazes from teachers and mentors.

“He’s truly a freak, a newcomer who passed twenty floors on his first try and got his name on the Ten Thousand Demon Stele!”

“He’s just at the Postnatal Middle Stage, his future potential is boundless!”

The students couldn’t contain their emotions, with admiration, envy, and even jealousy.

Several newcomers from the Blood Slaughter Institute came forward excitedly to offer their congratulations.

And Nie Xuan, with a face full of resentment and unwillingness, stared at Chen Yu with blame.

“What does it have to do with me!”

Chen Yu was quite innocent.

It was Nie Xuan who insisted on comparing with him, and now that she lost, she turned it around and blamed Chen Yu.

“Chen Yu, for your first pass through the twentieth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, apart from the generous No Demon Points reward, there are other rewards—make sure to collect them from the Wumo Sub-Hall!”

Liu Xuanzong spoke up.

“Understood!”

Chen Yu nodded.

“Nie Xuan, let’s go!”

Watching the proud Liu Xuanzong and Chen Yu, Mr. Xu left first with Nie Xuan.

Nie Xuan’s performance had been outstanding in itself, but it was overshadowed because she took the challenge with Chen Yu.

“Next time, I will surpass you!”

Nie Xuan clenched her fists, refusing to admit defeat.

“Chen Yu, congratulations. No matter what, you’ve always been a step ahead of me!”

At this time, Kong Zhong came forward with a smile.

He had lost to Chen Yu in the hunting competition, and even during the academy’s entrance assessment, Chen Yu outshone him.

And his achievements in the Ten Thousand Demon Tower paled even more in comparison to Chen Yu’s.

“Do you need something from me?”

Chen Yu remembered Kong Zhong’s previous remarks and asked.

“Let’s walk and talk!”

Kong Zhong looked around and then said with a smile.

It seemed Kong Zhong indeed needed something from Chen Yu, and it was something he didn’t want too many people to know about.

Without asking further, Chen Yu followed Kong Zhong and left the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

“Chen Yu, the Ten Thousand Demon Tower—interesting, very interesting!”

From afar, Situ Lin Yu watched with a smile, a peculiar glint in his eyes.

Gradually, the crowd dispersed.

No Demon Academy was located in a massive and secretive environment.

Chen Yu and Kong Zhong arrived at the top of a sparsely populated mountain and sat down one after the other.

“Chen Yu, your strength now is already comparable to an ordinary Early Innate!”

Kong Zhong said earnestly.

Chen Yu said nothing, waiting for the other to continue.

He didn’t believe that Kong Zhong had come just to say this.

Ever since the end of the hunting competition, Kong Zhong had shown an intention to befriend him, but the animosity between them during the competition had left some barriers.

“With your current strength, that puppet in your hands is of little use to you. However, I’ve lost a significant number of puppets in the hunting competition and urgently need to replenish them. I wonder if Brother Chen would be willing to part with it?”

Kong Zhong got straight to the point.

Chen Yu immediately understood—it turns out Kong Zhong was interested in his Sword Shield Puppet.

“Brother Kong is not correct in saying that. Having one more card up one’s sleeve provides an extra chance of survival in critical moments—who would complain about having too many tricks!”

Chen Yu laughed.

To him, the matter didn’t seem as simple as it appeared.

Even if Kong Zhong truly was short on puppets, with plenty of time since the competition, he could have made one or two by now. There was no need for him to lower himself and ask Chen Yu for one.

“Chen Yu, I wouldn’t take your puppet for nothing—you can make a request!”

Kong Zhong knew that Chen Yu wasn’t an easy person to deal with and wouldn’t easily part with his puppet.

“Then it all depends on what Brother Kong can offer!”

Chen Yu kept his smile.

He was now sure that his Sword Shield Puppet was of great use to Puppet Master Kong Zhong. It was just unfortunate that since Chen Yu wasn’t a Puppet Master, he couldn’t see the full value in it.

Although the Sword Shield Puppet’s usefulness to Chen Yu was diminishing, he wouldn’t easily hand it over to Kong Zhong—he hoped Kong Zhong would present something enticing in return.

“I’ll give you ten thousand Grade Essence Stones!”

Kong Zhong said through gritted teeth.

Chen Yu was inwardly shocked but kept a placid exterior.

The combat power of Chen Yu’s puppet was nowhere near ten thousand Grade Essence Stones; Kong Zhong’s offer had indeed moved him, especially since he needed the Primordial Stones at the moment.

“Brother Kong, I’ve just passed through the Ten Thousand Demon Tower and got a fair amount of No Demon Points, and I believe the Wumo Sub-Hall will also award me with Primordial Stones. Primordial Stones are not that important to me at this stage!”

Chen Yu pretended to be indifferent.

Kong Zhong showed a trace of surprise—it seemed Chen Yu had seen through something.

“Chen Yu, I have another item in my possession to trade for your puppet!”

Kong Zhong struggled briefly before speaking with confidence.

Swoosh!

With a flash of silver, a fist-sized Stone appeared in his hand.

The Stone was entirely silver-gray, occasionally emitting faint sparks of electricity, accompanied by a “sizzling” sound.
