How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

The sudden arrival of this middle-aged man left no doubt; he was an instructor from the Blood Slaughter Institute.

Many students had gathered information about the Blood Slaughter Institute beforehand and could now guess the identity of this instructor.

The middle-aged man remained silent, the atmosphere increasingly heavy and oppressive.

The terrifying Evil Qi permeated the space, incessantly affecting the minds of all students. Everyone held their breath and resisted with all their might.

His indifferent gaze casually swept over everyone present.

A mere glance, but those who met his gaze trembled violently, as if they had seen something immensely horrifying and recalled fearsome things.

"What a heavy and powerful Evil Qi!"

Chen Yu's expression grew serious.

Compared to the middle-aged man, his own Evil Qi was negligible.

However, the instructor's methods could not affect Chen Yu.

His willpower, nourished by the Blood Soul Bud and enhanced by the consumption of the Demon Soul Pill and the refinement of "Heavenly Heart Refining" and other Ancient Techniques, was tough and powerful, even stronger than that of a typical Early Innate.

Most of the students present were Blood Dao and Evil Cultivators, but they still struggled to resist the influence of Liu Xuanzong's Evil Qi.

Only a few maintained a normal complexion.

And after some familiarity, Zhao Feng's face hardly changed.

The middle-aged man's gaze lingered on Chen Yu for a moment before shifting to other students.

Suddenly.

"I am your instructor, Liu Xuanzong!"

The middle-aged man spoke blandly.

As Liu Xuanzong broke the silence, the incredibly oppressive atmosphere also dissipated.

Sigh!

All the students let out a big sigh of relief; several of them felt their legs weaken and some even slumped down.

"It really is Instructor Liu Xuanzong!"

Liu Xuanzong's proficiency in the Evil Dao was profoundly advanced, placing him among the top-tier instructors at the academy.

Those fortunate enough to cultivate the Evil Dao under his guidance could achieve great heights in the future, but given Liu Xuanzong's reputation, he was also extremely selective about taking on students.

"Our Blood Slaughter Institute has always been among the best branches within the No Demon Academy, and I hope this class will be the same!"

Liu Xuanzong's gaze swept over the students as he spoke.

This was a fact well-known to even those with a rudimentary knowledge of No Demon Academy.

Naturally, the students did not want to be the ones tarnishing the institute's reputation. Master Liu's words instantly motivated the newcomers.

"I'll not waste time with more words; let's start the class!"

Liu Xuanzong's expression became serious.

He was very satisfied with this batch of students, but those from other branches were also remarkable.

Inside the arena, many students brightened up, looking forward with anticipation, although some Blood Dao Practitioners were more composed, feeling it a pity that the first lesson wasn't taught by Qiu Qihong.

Just as Liu Xuanzong finished speaking, a figure appeared outside the gorge.

"Duan Hao?"

Many freshmen exclaimed in surprise.

In the new cohort of Blood Slaughter Institute, besides Chen Yu who had defeated an instructor, Duan Hao of the Ancient Clan was the most well-known.

"Master Liu, sorry for my tardiness!"

Duan Hao said calmly before leaping up to a higher boulder.

Originally, a tall and thin young man with Postnatal Middle Stage sat there. He had some renown, but he immediately vacated the spot.

Duan Hao of the Ancient Clan, who ranked first in the regular assessments, had a strength and background that none could provoke.

Duan Hao smirked disdainfully and sat down comfortably, his gaze briefly flicking over to Chen Yu in the distance.

Among the new students of Blood Slaughter Institute, the only one Duan Hao considered a potential rival was Chen Yu.

Beside him, Zheng Shifeng clenched his fists and glared at Duan Hao.

After entering the Blood Slaughter Institute, he had set Duan Hao as his target, but the latter was fixated on Chen Yu and did not even glance at him.

This infuriated him, especially since he had also made it into the top ten within the traditional assessments.

"Hmph!"

Instructor Liu Xuanzong snorted.

Although he had not attended the newcomer's admission assessment, Ge Juntian had already informed him that a member of the Ancient Clan was present, and this was the person Master Liu valued most.

Upon meeting him, his first impression of Duan Hao was not favorable.

"In today's lesson, I will demonstrate a 'secret technique' for you!"

Liu Xuanzong's eyes shifted slightly as he spoke.

"A secret technique?"

The students' excitement intensified, and even those previously indifferent Blood Dao newcomers were now intrigued.

While a Cultivation Technique or martial art might not be suitable for them, a "secret technique" could be different.

"This secret technique is called 'Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow'!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Xuanzong was surrounded by swirling gusts of dark Evil Qi.

Roar!

With a roar of angry wind, Liu Xuanzong vanished from sight.

His form, like a violent beast in the wind, dashed back and forth across the gorge, lifting gusts of pitch-black wind that shook the soul.

At one moment, he swooped close to a freshman, the terrifying Qi and Evil Wind almost causing the student to fall.

Liu Xuanzong had suppressed his cultivation to the Early Innate level; otherwise, most of the students present would not have been able to withstand this force.

"It's a movement technique secret!"

Yang Zhang called out.

Even Blood Dao Practitioners might be able to cultivate and comprehend this type of movement technique secret.

Everyone watched intently as Liu Xuanzong performed the secret technique.

Suddenly.

Liu Xuanzong's speed exploded.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

His speed increased rapidly, leaving trails of afterimages, as the entire gorge was enshrouded in Evil Qi and wind storms.

And Liu Xuanzong's figure multiplied, from one to two, then three.

Three figures dashed through the air at an incredibly fast pace, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

"This movement technique is not only fast but also forms such an imposing force!"

A look of pleasure appeared on Duan Hao's cold and ferocious face.

He came from an Ancient Clan and was exceptionally perceptive, yet he was still attracted by the movement technique Liu Xuanzong was demonstrating at that moment.

Boom whoosh!

Inside the canyon, the scene changed again.

The black evil wind suddenly shrank, covering only an area of thirty to forty zhang.

Within that area, numerous afterimages stirred up fierce evil Qi winds, creating a domain of black wind and evil Qi.

"Is this really a movement technique, or is it an offensive technique?"

"So powerful; I want to learn this technique!"

All the students were captivated by the movement technique Liu Xuanzong was executing.

"It's so fast and extremely domineering!" Chen Yu couldn't help but admire.

Though it was a movement technique, it possessed formidable offensive capabilities.

Liu Xuanzong had suppressed his cultivation to the Early Innate stage, and the wind and evil Qi domain he created would likely suppress any average Innate True Qi that entered it.

Moreover, the range of this domain was quite large, almost constituting an area attack.

Also, as a movement technique, its speed was extraordinarily fast.

Whoom~

The evil Qi and wind force weakened, and the black wind and evil Qi domain gradually disappeared; Liu Xuanzong's figure reappeared at the center of the circular stone pillar.

"Just now I only demonstrated the first three forms of this technique; I'll give you an hour to practice. After an hour, let me see what you so-called geniuses are really capable of!" Liu Xuanzong's expression was cold, his gaze lingering a bit longer on Duan Hao.

Normally, one shouldn't teach such a difficult technique in the first class.

But he was displeased with the arrogance of the student he was interested in, so Liu Xuanzong decided to demonstrate this technique to curb the newcomers' arrogance.

He figured that even Duan Hao from the ten great Ancient Clans would find it challenging to learn much from just one demonstration.

Inside the canyon.

All the students fell into deep thought, carefully recalling the instructor's demonstration.

The instructor had suppressed his cultivation and performed the sequence slowly, which allowed them to analyze and understand.

Before long, all the students frowned, clearly finding the technique complex.

"Ah, my position wasn't good; I couldn't see everything properly!" a robust young man lamented.

He was unable to secure a better viewing spot due to his lower cultivation.

After a while, many students had already begun practicing.

"Look quickly; it's Duan Hao!"

"Truly a genius from an Ancient Clan, he seems to have gotten the hang of it a bit!"

Inside the canyon.

A shadow, carrying cold evil Qi, darted back and forth at high speed.

At a certain moment, Duan Hao returned to his original spot.

His expression was somber; he glanced at Master Liu, then sat down again.

To be honest, he hadn't grasped much of the technique that Master Liu had just demonstrated; the appearance was somewhat similar, but the essence was entirely different.

And since Master Liu had demonstrated three forms, he only had a slight understanding of the first one.

He realized that Liu Xuanzong had deliberately taught such a difficult technique in the first class.

He couldn't help but put away his pride and regard Liu Xuanzong with new respect.

On the other side, Chen Yu was still deep in thought.

"The technique that the instructor just demonstrated seemed not to involve significant fluctuations in True Qi; it relied more on the explosive force of the body!" Chen Yu murmured in contemplation.

His spiritual power far exceeded the Early Innate level; he was born with Spiritual Sense, had sharp senses, and his mysterious heart made him sensitive to fluctuations in force, so he noticed more details.

"Let's try!"

Chen Yu suddenly stood up, relaxing his body.

Currently, most people's attention was focused on Zheng Shifeng, who was also practicing. Although he wasn't as proficient as Duan Hao, he could perform a bit.

Some students present didn't even have a clue.

In the distance, Liu Xuanzong's lips curled into a slight smile.

This movement technique placed a tremendous strain on the body; he, too, had practiced it for a long time and still found it hard to perform for extended periods.

Suddenly.

Whoo~

Inside the canyon, a black evil wind shadow shot up, creating an impressive force that shook the minds of some students.

At that moment, they immediately thought of Liu Xuanzong, who had just demonstrated the movement technique.

"Who is this person? He actually grasped it to such an extent!"

"I think his execution of the movement technique is already somewhat similar to what Master Liu just demonstrated!"

Many students exclaimed in amazement.

Even Duan Hao from the ten great Ancient Clans couldn't give them this kind of impression.

"It's him!"

Duan Hao's eyes fixed on the swirling black wind, his eyes flashing with a battle spirit.

When Chen Yu had beaten the instructor and stolen his thunder during the regular assessment at the beginning of school, Duan Hao had never considered himself inferior to Chen Yu.

But now, Chen Yu's performance had surpassed his, prompting him to reassess his opinion of Chen Yu.

Master Liu's expression returned to its usual cold indifference, with a hint of solemnity and a slight squint of surprise and pleasure.

However.

The black wind shadow darted back and forth a couple of times, then suddenly plunged headfirst into the mountain rock.

Bang!

The mountain wall shook violently, creating a pit several zhang wide.

The spectators were shaken, unable to imagine the magnitude of the force of that impact and whether the person who crashed into it was injured.
