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

On the challenge arena, a battle was on the verge of erupting.

Roar~

Chen Yu was the first to launch an attack, surrounded by a black evil wind as if transformed into a pitch-black fierce beast, pouncing directly towards Situ Lin Yu.

Whoosh!

A dim mist rose from Situ Lin Yu's body, making his figure appear blurred.

With a flicker of afterimage, Situ Lin Yu disappeared from his original spot and reappeared half a zhang away, causing Chen Yu to lunge at empty air.

"Evil Spirit!"

Situ Lin Yu waved his hand and from his purple brocade robe, a puff of gray mist surged, forming into the Big-headed Evil Spirit.

Seeing the tactics he'd used before, Chen Yu's eyes held no fear, causing some surprise in Situ Lin Yu, who very cautiously released the Evil Spirit.

"Dark Night Secret Pupil!"

The pupils of Situ Lin Yu and the Big-headed Evil Spirit simultaneously fluctuated with a strange spiritual energy.

An invisible suction force emerged, irresistibly drawing one's gaze.

The many disciples around the arena were all imperceptibly affected, feeling as though they had fallen into the darkness of night, a fear rising in their hearts.

"Situ Lin Yu has unleashed the Evil Spirit and activated the Pupil Skill right from the start, is he aiming to defeat Chen Yu in one round and claim victory?"

Situ Lin Yu himself had an exceptionally strong spiritual power. An average Early Innate individual affected by the Dark Night Secret Pupil would struggle to exert much of their strength.

If the Evil Spirit were added, the power of this Pupil Skill would be enhanced again, and the one under its effect would likely be at the mercy of others.

Now, Situ Lin Yu's opponent was merely a Body Cultivator.

In everyone's eyes, it seemed unlikely that Chen Yu could withstand even one round before being defeated.

However.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

On the challenge arena, Chen Yu's speed didn't decrease, encircled by gusts of black wind, he launched a ferocious assault.

"Hm?"

Situ Lin Yu's brows slightly furrowed.

The situation seemed to have gone somewhat against his expectations.

Swish!

Situ Lin Yu immediately executed the Ghost Shadow Step to evade.

At the same time, a swift gust of a black shadow swept through, and the two figures crossed paths before parting.

Situ Lin Yu's gaze fell on his sleeve where a tear had suddenly appeared.

"What's going on? Situ Lin Yu's Pupil Skill didn't affect Chen Yu?"

"Under these circumstances, Chen Yu actually managed to land a hit on Situ Lin Yu!"

This scene took the surrounding crowd by surprise.

Upon closer inspection.

"Look, Chen Yu isn't looking into Situ Lin Yu's eyes!"

Some had noticed the clue.

On the stone platform, other powerful contenders also expressed their surprise and pondered the reason.

"The reason must be more than that!"

Duan Hao's gaze grew solemn.

He had clashed with Situ Lin Yu and knew that the Dark Night Secret Pupil possessed a kind of spiritual enticement, making it difficult to look away once one saw Situ Lin Yu's eyes.

Furthermore, to avoid the enemy's eyes appearing in one's vision, unless staring solely at the enemy's feet, if the enemy crouched down, one would still see the eyes.

But how to fight if fixating only on the enemy's feet?

On the challenge arena.

"Your spiritual power has actually grown to this extent?"

Situ Lin Yu said in astonishment.

To counter Illusion Technique Pupil Skills without looking into the opponent's eyes is indeed one method, but not everyone is capable of it.

His Dark Night Secret Pupil exerts a kind of invisible spiritual enticement. If one's spiritual power is not strong and their will is not firm, they will involuntary be drawn to look into his eyes.

Just now, he felt that Chen Yu seemed hardly affected by his Dark Night Secret Pupil, maintaining a mental state solid as Mount Tai.

Upon closer sensing, Situ Lin Yu was greatly shocked.

Chen Yu's spiritual power was even stronger than the average Innate, almost approaching his own level.

Additionally, as a Body Cultivator, Chen Yu's understanding of the body far surpassed that of others, allowing his eyes to fixate only on Situ Lin Yu's feet, yet still react optimally.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Yu gave a non-affirmative chuckle.

His spiritual power wasn't much different from Situ Lin Yu's; resisting the pull of the Dark Night Secret Pupil was not a difficult matter for him.

Swoosh!

Chen Yu's body abruptly moved, attacking once more.

Situ Lin Yu was still somewhat wary of his spiritual techniques, hence Chen Yu took every opportunity to end the battle quickly.

Boom tss!

The Xuan Heavy Sword stirred up a torrent of astonishing black evil waves, striking directly at Situ Lin Yu.

Swish! Swish!

In haste, Situ Lin Yu executed the Ghost Shadow Step to evade.

However, against such a wide-ranging attack, the evasive capability of the Ghost Shadow Step was weaker, depriving Situ Lin Yu of his previous calm and composure.

"Evil Spirit, attack!"

Situ Lin Yu immediately commanded the Big-headed Evil Spirit.

Chen Yu could avoid looking into his eyes, but the Evil Spirit floated erratically, capable of going wherever it wanted, Situ Lin Yu could make it intentionally lock eyes with Chen Yu's.

Swish!

The Evil Spirit quickly drifted towards Chen Yu, staring intently into his eyes with its own.

"Ah, this Chen Yu is indeed a prodigy, able to withstand Situ Lin Yu's Dark Night Secret Pupil and even launch attacks by merely tracking his feet, but unfortunate for him, Situ Lin Yu has the Evil Spirit, making it difficult for Chen Yu to escape!"

Cao Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh.

The Evil Spirit was an extremely powerful tool for Evil Cultivators. If one could not deal with this problem, there was no hope of defeating Situ Lin Yu.

On the challenge arena, Chen Yu furiously attacked, but his accuracy was not very high.

On the other hand, Situ Lin Yu was forced to dodge in haste.

Meanwhile, the Evil Spirit had finally found an opportunity to get in front of Chen Yu, staring him down with its abyss-black eyes.

"Chen Yu, you're finished!"

Situ Lin Yu chuckled lightly.

Unavoidable.

Chen Yu gathered his Qi and concentrated his mind, his True Qi circulating swiftly, his eyes actively glaring back.

In his eyes, a terrifying Yin Sha Qi erupted, mingled with the dominating assertiveness of Demonic Qi, cold and chilling to the bone, seizing the soul.

This strong malevolent Qi and demonic intent combined, actively confronting the Dark Night Secret Pupil of the Evil Spirit.

"Get lost!"

Chen Yu suddenly shouted, his body radiating with black evil Qi and demonic intent that soared into the sky, resounding in all directions.

That roar, as if a supreme demon was awakening, shook everyone's mind and spirit.

"Such strong evil Qi, and demonic intent as well!"

Situ Lin Yu's expression changed.

At that moment, the evil Qi emanating from Chen Yu was indeed stronger than even Duan Hao's.

However, Duan Hao had relied on Evil Qi to deploy an auxiliary spiritual secret technique previously, while the Evil Qi released by Chen Yu was merely pure spiritual Evil Qi, resulting in a slightly lesser effect.

Nevertheless, it was sufficient. Chen Yu had not been affected by the Illusion Technique, he was merely defending against it.

Boom—hiss!

Mobilizing True Evil Qi, Chen Yu swung his Mystical Iron Sword, fiercely slashing towards the Evil Spirit.

Boom—huff!

The howling black wind lifted the figure of the Evil Spirit and tossed it away.

"This thing is neither physical nor an illusion; it exists somewhere between material and immaterial!"

Chen Yu found this somewhat novel.

The previous strike had only caused injury to the Evil Spirit. If it had been a physical entity from the material world, the injury would likely have been more than a mere scratch.

Surroundings.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, staring with gaping mouths.

Almost everyone had assumed Chen Yu, when facing Situ Lin Yu, would only be passively receiving hits, at his mercy for dissection.

However, unexpectedly, Chen Yu had first grazed Situ Lin Yu's clothes, and the second time he had directly injured his Evil Spirit.

"These two freaks of nature!"

Cao Zhongtian couldn't help but exclaim, a chill running through his heart.

In the future, he would definitely not want to make enemies with these two.

"Chen Yu, you dare injure my Evil Spirit!"

Situ Lin Yu's eyes sank, filled with cold severity.

He had never imagined that Chen Yu's resistance would be so strong, not only defending against his Illusion Technique attacks but also launching a counterattack.

"Evil Fire Strike!"

Situ Lin Yu's face took on an eerie expression.

He quickly formed spell signs with his hands.

Hu Hu!

The Big-headed Evil Spirit's body ignited with gray Evil Fire, its entire form gradually turning into a fireball.

The Illusion Eye Technique was just an illusion-based spiritual technique, but this time, it was a spiritual attack.

"Go!"

Situ Lin Yu let out a low shout.

The ethereal gray fireball, moving with incredible speed, hurtled towards Chen Yu.

Previously, Duan Hao was utterly defeated under this attack.

Given that Duan Hao was at the Early Innate stage, it was evident that if Chen Yu, with his spiritual power, was hit, it wouldn't be a good outcome either.

Thump thump thump!

In the face of danger, Chen Yu's heart suddenly pounded, his bodily blood and True Qi crashing like violent waves.

Roar roar roar!

His speed suddenly exploded, kicking up afterimages and black winds of Evil Qi.

In a brief moment, a domain of black wind formed around him.

Within the domain, Chen Yu's speed increased even further, making the Evil Fire hard to hit him.

Moreover, it was difficult for ordinary people to discern where within the black wind domain Chen Yu was.

"This…"

On the other platforms, talents from the Genius Academy opened their mouths wide, eyes bulging.

"Show yourself!"

Situ Lin Yu's face darkened.

No sooner had he spoken than he opened his mouth, emitting a long, eerie, and intangible sound accompanied by a sinister spiritual power.

Around the platforms, many students suddenly felt their heads swell with pain, dizzy and disoriented.

"Evil Sound Secret Technique!"

Cao Zhongtian circulated his True Qi, concentrated his spirit, and resisted with all his might as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This Situ Lin Yu, not only was his movement technique profound, proficient in the Illusion Eye Technique, but he also had cultivated an Evil Spirit and was capable of using Evil Sound—an extraordinary talent rarely seen in a century on the path of evil!

Inside the domain of black wind, the Evil Sound attack that Chen Yu received was even more concentrated.

Even with his strong spiritual power, he still felt a throbbing pain.

With his spirit unable to focus, Chen Yu's movement technique naturally fell apart, and the black wind domain gradually dissipated.

Just at that moment.

Swish!

The Evil Spirit which had taken the form of a dark flame ball, smashed down fiercely.

"Not good!"

Chen Yu activated his True Qi, concentrating Evil Qi with demonic intention, even utilizing the Ancient Technique "Heavenly Heart Refining."

At that moment, Chen Yu's spirit was like a mountain peak, as impenetrable as a fortress.

Boom—bang!

The clump of Evil Fire smashed down ferociously, the flames instantly eroding his spirit. Chen Yu felt as though his heart and mind were being bitten by countless ants, the pain unbearable and the situation growing increasingly serious.

"Such strong resistance!"

Situ Lin Yu's expression turned stern.

It made sense, after all. Chen Yu's spiritual power far exceeded that of an average person at the Early Innate stage, he had also gathered spiritual Evil Qi, comprehended a bit of demonic intent, and his will was unyielding and tenacious.

Furthermore, Situ Lin Yu's Evil Spirit had been injured by Chen Yu, which weakened the attack slightly.

"However, it's time to end this!"

Situ Lin Yu's eyes narrowed as he launched the Illusion Eye Technique once more.

When Chen Yu was affected by the Illusion Eye Technique, his resistance greatly reduced, and the erosion of the Evil Fire was sufficient to cause him a severe spiritual injury, rendering him unable to fight.

Chen Yu's spiritual consciousness experienced a strong pull, and his resilient spirit wavered slightly.

At the same time, the Evil Fire took the opportunity to invade.

However, suddenly.

Half of the Jade Pendant on Chen Yu's body released a layer of pure white halo, wafting across his spiritual consciousness and bringing Chen Yu a sense of warmth and comfort.

Instantly, the attack of the Evil Fire and the influence of the Illusion Eye Technique were reduced by nearly half.

"Good!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Chen Yu's eyes.

With the Evil Fire Strike and Illusion Eye Technique greatly weakened, Chen Yu's spiritual consciousness easily resisted.

Thump thump thump!

His heart burst forth, and his True Qi and bodily strength circulated.

The struggling Chen Yu, who had just been groaning, suddenly surged upward, kicking up a terrifying wave of Evil Qi and rushing straight at Situ Lin Yu.

"How can this be?"

Situ Lin Yu's complexion changed abruptly.

The fight was supposed to have ended already, wasn't it? How could Chen Yu possibly mount another attack?

He had simultaneously controlled the Evil Spirit to launch Evil Fire Strike and then activated the Illusion Eye Technique once again.

At this moment, Situ Lin Yu was somewhat weakened in spirit, not in top form, and too late to dodge.

Chen Yu, like a peerless demon, arrived in an instant.

Boom—bang!

With a loud crash on the challenge platform, a howling wind enveloped the figures of both fighters.
