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

As Chen Yu and Shang Honglan rushed toward the Life and Death Platform, the news spread rapidly.

Although Chen Yu was the top contender in the competition, and Shang Honglan was from a super family, both of them weren't very famous at No Demon Academy.

What really caught people's attention was the huge disparity in their strengths.

Before the challenge was issued, Chen Yu was only at the Postnatal Late Stage, while Shang Honglan was at the Peak of Middle Innate and was about to break through to the Late Stage.

Of course, there were also some people interested in the two of them.

Upon hearing the news, Luo Haotian immediately rushed over, needing to gauge the current extent of Chen Yu's strength.

Ren Han also came.

Swoosh!

Blood Eagle Leg, Yan Boqing, leaped onto the platform in a single jump.

"Hehe!"

Shang Honglan chuckled.

To him, whether Yan Boqing stepped up or not, the result would be the same.

Swoosh, swoosh...

Many freshmen from the Blood Slaughter Institute hurried over.

"Does he already possess such strength?"

Duan Hao had a cold expression on his face but was somewhat surprised inside.

He felt that Chen Yu wouldn't undertake something he wasn't confident in.

To defeat Shang Honglan and Blood Eagle Leg, one would need at least the strength of the Late Innate Stage.

"Chen Yu, this is what you sought yourself, now let me show you the strength of this young master," Shang Honglan burst into laughter.

Boom!

A layer of violent black miasma surfaced around his body, emitting a powerful demonic aura, possessing a tyranny that suppressed everything.

Shang Honglan's tall and robust figure, laughing fiercely under the shroud of the black miasma, resembled a peerless demon.

"Shang Honglan's strength has basically reached the Late Innate Stage, ordinary Late Innate cultivators outside the academy wouldn't last more than twenty moves against him," said an upperclassman from the Devil Wind Institute.

"Chen Yu, it's not too late to concede now. Kneel and admit your mistake, offer the ancient beast to this young master and perhaps I might spare your life," Shang Honglan commanded imperiously, glaring at Chen Yu.

In his eyes, killing a man was more interesting than humiliating one.

"Even if you concede now, I will not spare your life," Chen Yu scoffed.

"Brother Shang, let me have a bit of fun first; otherwise, you'll kill him with one move," Yan Boqing walked forward with a sinister smile, entering voluntarily.

Before he was uncertain of Chen Yu's strength and didn't want to take the risk, but now with Shang Honglan here, even if he couldn't handle it, Shang Honglan could step in to turn the tide, so he had nothing to worry about.

Swoosh!

Having said that, Yan Boqing's legs bent and he sprung up instantaneously.

"Blood Eagle Leg!"

With a low shout, layers of blood coiled around his left leg, stabbing swiftly toward Chen Yu.

Though his left leg appeared deformed, it was his strongest weapon.

And his nickname, Blood Eagle Leg, was because he had trained the martial technique "Blood Eagle Leg" to the pinnacle.

Swoosh!

Yan Boqing, akin to a blood eagle swooping down, lunged forward, his left leg acting as the sharp talon attacking Chen Yu.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, Yan Boqing's foot struck Chen Yu's right arm.

"He hit!"

Yan Boqing showed joy as he unleashed his lethal move without mercy.

However, the next moment, Yan Boqing's expression stiffened suddenly, a sense of crisis overwhelming him.

You see,

Chen Yu's arm, surrounded by a layer of pitch-black True Qi, remained unwavering.

Contrary to Yan Boqing's left leg, which began to tremble, with its True Qi completely dissipating.

"How is that possible? Yan Boqing's 'Blood Eagle Leg' has reached its peak, and yet it was blocked by Chen Yu's arm!" someone exclaimed, the rest showed a look of surprise.

"Not good, I underestimated this lad,"

At that moment, watching this scene unfold, Shang Honglan's figure burst forth explosively.

In his hand appeared a black spear, glittering black light on the spear with an incredible demonic presence.

"Get out of my way!"

After blocking Yan Boqing's leg, Chen Yu lunged forward, delivering a fierce punch.

This punch, lacking any mercy, employed the Copper Statue Technique and True Qi.

Boom!

The punch slammed into Yan Boqing's chest, sounds of bones cracking followed, as Yan Boqing's eyes bulged out, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

Under Chen Yu's immense force, Yan Boqing's body, like a sandbag, smashed toward Shang Honglan.

"Get lost!"

Shang Honglan roared, swinging his black spear.

A dark, oppressive streak blasted out, sending Yan Boqing flying off the platform, his life or death uncertain.

Yan Boqing's appearance lasted only one round, ending up in such a miserable state.

Boom!

In an instant, Shang Honglan appeared before Chen Yu, his spear sweeping forcefully, a surging black True Qi roared out, seemingly about to engulf everything.

"Eat my fist."

Chen Yu's eyes narrowed, mobilizing True Qi, and powered a punch full-force.

Boom!

The True Qi released by Shang Honglan was instantly dispersed by Chen Yu's punch.

A massive force traveled along the black spear to Shang Honglan's arm, tearing the flesh at the base of his thumb.

Step, step...

Shang Honglan staggered back four steps before stabilizing.

The audience below fell dead silent, holding their breath.

Easily blocking the Blood Eagle Leg and sending him flying, now pushing back Shang Honglan with a single punch.

Everyone couldn't believe that Chen Yu was merely at Early Innate.

"This lad's True Qi is stronger than my Black Wave True Qi, how is this possible," Shang Honglan was shocked internally.

Chen Yu had just broken through to Innate, and he had been at the Middle Innate stage for quite some time, yet his True Qi strength was surpassed by Chen Yu's.

Moreover, his single exchange with Chen Yu had made him sense a strong crisis.

Without waiting for Shang Honglan to ponder more, Chen Yu approached him.

Boom!

Another punch was launched.

This punch was stronger than before; Shang Honglan's face showed terror, his heart devoid of any will to fight, his weapon horizontally trying to block Chen Yu's fist.

Boom!

The sound of a metal collision rang out as Shang Honglan, along with his weapon, was sent flying by a punch from Chen Yu.

The fight had not ended yet, as Chen Yu instantly leaped into the air, his feet shimmering like copper, surrounded by the aura of True Qi, and stomped down ferociously.

Boom!

Blood gushed from the corners of Shang Honglan's mouth as he smashed onto the Life and Death Platform like a meteor, motionless.

All around, there was utter silence.

Many had predicted that the battle would end quickly, but the outcome was contrary to what they had thought.

A few punches and one kick, two opponents were instantly killed, and the battle was over.

Not far away,

A shadow rapidly approached, and it was none other than Blood Slaughter Peak's Master Liu Xuanzong.

"This kid is so impulsive, stepping onto the Life and Death Platform means that even we, as masters, cannot intervene in their life-and-death struggle."

Master Liu's expression showed slight anxiety.

Chen Yu was a promising student, and it would be a pity if he were to die.

"Not good, it's already started."

Master Liu's gaze turned toward the distant Life and Death Platform.

In the next moment, his expression changed.

In his view, Chen Yu's foot descended, crushing Shang Honglan onto the platform.

"This kid..."

Master Liu took a deep breath, realizing he had overthought.

Soon,

Yang Zhang approached from behind.

"Master Liu, the duel shouldn't have started yet, right?"

Yang Zhang immediately asked.

As he observed the situation on the platform, his face also turned rigid.

On the Life and Death Platform,

"Don't kill me, Chen Yu."

Shang Honglan slowly got up, struggling to speak, and coughed out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"If I had lost, would you have spared my life?"

Chen Yu sneered coldly.

Why spare those who intend to kill him?

Suddenly,

A pleasant voice drifted from a distance.

"Chen Yu, you have won this battle, let it end here!"

Everyone's gaze shifted, and they saw a white, ethereal figure descending between the trees, a woman with black hair flowing like a waterfall, skin like fine porcelain, and delicate features; her lifted chin was both noble and aloof, making her extremely striking in the night.

"Shang Han from Shang Family, the top-tier super family."

"So beautiful, truly worthy of being the most beautiful girl in the academy."

Many male students' eyes gleamed.

No Demon Academy was predominantly male, and even though there were females, they were average in looks.

But Shang Han was different; her appearance, talent, and family background were impeccable, simply a goddess in the hearts of male students.

"On the Life and Death Platform, I will decide his life and death."

Chen Yu glanced at Shang Han and spoke indifferently.

He had specifically initiated the duel on the Life and Death Platform to establish his dominance through Shang Honglan.

Yet just as he defeated Shang Honglan, a woman emerged, demanding him to back down.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Shang Han lifted her face, speaking confidently.

Shang Honglan's performance today had disgraced the Shang Family, and while a death sentence could be meted out, it should be the Shang Family who dealt with him.

Allowing outsiders to kill Shang Honglan would only further disgrace the Shang Family.

She believed Chen Yu would give her face and spare Shang Honglan.

Chen Yu could only scoff at this, stepping closer to Shang Honglan and kicked him in the heart.

Boom! Bang!

Shang Honglan's body rolled off the Life and Death Platform, devoid of any breath.

All around, there was dead silence.

"You will pay for your actions today."

Shang Han stared at Chen Yu, her gaze icy cold.

With these words, many onlookers viewed Chen Yu with a hint of pity.

Shang Han, being the most beautiful girl in the academy, was extremely powerful; killing Chen Yu would be easy for her.

Moreover, not only was she unmatched in beauty, but she was also a member of the Shang Family, with countless suitors.

Just a nod from her would suffice; she didn't even need to act personally as someone would kill Chen Yu for her.

Among the crowd, several already harbored murderous intents.

"It seems I don't need to act myself."

Luo Haotian couldn't help but smile.

In the distance among the rocks, a young man in black stood straight as a ruler.

"Such formidable strength, interesting!"

The young man in black, Ren Han, watched Chen Yu with a slight smile, his dark eyes filled with an intense murderous intent.

He already had a feud with Chen Yu, and Shang Han was also the woman he was pursuing; he had decided to take matters into his own hands.

Suddenly, Ren Han shifted his brows and turned his head.

Without knowing when, a plain-looking young man in yellow appeared to his left.

"Yuan Chen."

Ren Han's eyes twinkled slightly, showing a trace of surprise.

"It's been a long time; your strength has improved quite a bit. Perform well in this academy tournament."

The young man in yellow, Yuan Chen, spoke in a calm tone before walking forward.

Not many in the crowd noticed Yuan Chen.

Only a very few, upon seeing him, changed their expressions.

"Senior Yuan!"

From a distance, Shang Han's eyes brightened, revealing a slight smile.

Chen Yu's gaze involuntarily focused on this yellow-clad young man, whose presence was calm and restrained, completely inscrutable, and easy to overlook if not paying attention.

If Shang Han hadn't greeted him, Chen Yu would not have noticed him.

Moreover, Chen Yu felt that Yuan Chen seemed to have come specifically for him.

"Could it be Yuan Chen?"

"No Demon Academy's number one, Yuan Chen!"

Many slowly remembered and exclaimed.

"Yuan Chen."

Chen Yu also remembered, having seen the name in the first position on the Ten Thousand Demon Stele.

"Chen Yu, come with me, my Master wants to see you."

Yuan Chen revealed a faint smile.
