Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 91: It's Time to Sprint on the Sword Debate Platform (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions!)
"哐哐哐~"

Inside the dormitory, Hu Yifei was shirtless, hands on his hips, his whole body radiating golden light. With the support of his blood and qi, a golden shield formed, allowing Li Chunfeng to smash him with a sledgehammer.

"How about it? Pretty good defense, huh?"

Hu Yifei was extremely smug, "The Soul Battle Martial Arts are a perfect match for my unparalleled physique. If you had given me this magic seed yesterday, I wouldn't have lost the match."

Li Chunfeng looked at this oversized light bulb and asked, "So you awakened the innate light bulb physique?"

Hu Yifei was momentarily speechless, then barked impatiently, "What do you mean by 'innate light bulb physique'? This is called the Indestructible Vajra Body, a type of innate sacred body, one of the top martial arts sacred bodies in Buddhism, understand? I've already decided that this time, I'll aim for the Grand Zen Temple Academy. Maybe the high monks at the Grand Zen Temple will appreciate my physique."

Several hours had passed since the battle at the training ground.

After Li Chunfeng presented Feng Yang with a jar of spirit wine and a Fighting Soul Martial Arts Seed, Yan Da, the head teacher who had suffered greatly and lost face, chose to forgive him.

What can I do if I don't forgive?

Anyway, I've already lost face.

He came to terms with it; students didn't have to be inferior to their teachers. The fact that his students were successful and knew how to respect him meant that all his years of teaching hadn't been in vain. Facing a group of colleagues who were watching the spectacle and making fun of him, he not only didn't blush, but instead boasted about Li Chunfeng to everyone he met.

"That's my student. Are your students really that capable?"

He can be considered the number one "Li fanboy" of the Shan Hai Academy.

Therefore, when a person has no shame, he is invincible.

Back in his dormitory, Hu Yifei had already refined the Fighting Soul Martial Arts Seed and felt he had gained a lot. Only then did he show Li Chunfeng the progress he had made over the past six months.

"So, you've already given up on the path of a soul cultivator?"

Li Chunfeng flipped his hand, and a magical artifact radiating sword light swirled in the air, stimulating him.

"Should I also say goodbye to that flying sword, the 'Cicada'?"

Hu Yifei is almost sixteen years old, and he doesn't have the incomplete jade disc. The teachers have already determined that his chances of breaking through to the Divine Aperture are extremely small.

Hu Yifei's eyes instantly turned red when he saw the Mingling Flying Sword. He thought of his deceased parents and clenched his fists, but he didn't say anything about taking it back. "You bastard, this is the heirloom of my Hu family. You'd better treat it well!"

Li Chunfeng smiled, and the sword light of the celestial bird disappeared, flying behind his head and turning into a hairpin.

"It's fine if you give up the path of a soul cultivator. Whatever divine weapon you want, I'll give it to you."

"Really?"

Hu Yifei's eyes lit up, "A knife! I don't want one that's too low-grade!"

"A knife..."

Li Chunfeng also possessed a demon-slaying blade, a first-tier divine weapon, which was given to him by Song Zhijie and was the first divine weapon he ever acquired.

Although he rarely has the opportunity to use the Demon-Slaying Blade now, he quite likes its design and naturally cannot give it to Hu Yifei.

"Wait!"

He casually opened the dormitory door and stepped into Yuancheng, leaving Hu Yifei bewildered.

When he came out again, he was holding a 'Demon-Subduing Blade'.

[Burning Heart Demon-Subduing Blade: A Buddhist divine weapon, Tier 3. Special effects: Burning Heart Flame, Vajra Power, Evil-Repelling Blade Circle!]

The Burning Heart Fire can burn away the enemy's mind; when combined with sword techniques, it can cause them to lose their will to fight.

Hu Yifei wouldn't stand on ceremony with Li Chunfeng.

I fell in love with the knife at first sight, snatched it, and began to caress it with great affection.

……

The next day, Li Chunfeng went to class with him.

Li Chunfeng's classmates were all surprised by his quiet return.

They surrounded him, asking all sorts of questions: about his natal soul pet, about the war in the Ghost Realm, about the difficulty of the cultivator's Abyss Tribulation, about how difficult it was to obtain the Godhood rating, and so on.

We explored many questions together.

Although only a very small number of these people may become experts in the future, they are all classmates who have lived together for several years. Despite being watched, Li Chunfeng did not feel uncomfortable and patiently answered all the questions without the slightest impatience.

But in the eyes of his classmates, Li Chunfeng had changed drastically.

Those eyes were as calm as an abyss, and his temperament had become mature and steady. Compared to the impetuous young man he used to be, he was like a completely different person, with a calm and composed demeanor that suggested he had planned his actions carefully.

This created a natural contrast with the students of the same age around her.

Although he always had a smile on his face, his familiar classmates felt somewhat unfamiliar with him.

They all thought that the trials in the Ghost Realm had changed him.

Some of the female classmates looked at him with a hint of shyness in their eyes. "If this is the Li Chunfeng he is, he certainly wouldn't have resorted to a full-blown fight after his confession failed."

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

The training ground was closed for renovations for a period of time, and news of the battle between Li Chunfeng and Yan Liguang did not come out.

Li Chunfeng gradually got used to the daily routine of attending classes.

The teachers even gave Li Chunfeng a mock exam, but his results were not ideal.

The cultural studies subject has a maximum score of 150 points.

Li Chunfeng: 16 years old. Student ID: 1038907463.

Literature: 128
Science: 135
Eclipse of Heaven and Earth: 88
Basic cultivation skills subject, full marks 100 points.

Basic Forging: 65
Basic formation: 86
Basic weapon crafting: 66
Basic Alchemy: 21
Basic Talismans: 65
Personal cultivation, a bonus point, out of 100 points.

Martial arts: Zang refining realm: +100 points

Divine Soul: Burning Lamp Life Soul Realm: +100 points Aptitude: Nine Soul Apertures: +?

Excluding the fact that it's currently unclear how many points his Nine Soul Aperture aptitude would be able to add, his total score reached 854 points.

Based on past admission scores, the admission standard for Thirty-Six Palaces is generally above 1000.

He is clearly far inferior.

The cutoff score for the 108 Taoist Academy is also above 900, indicating a similar gap.

If you max out the points for the qualification category, you get +100 points.

Based on his total score of 834, he still wouldn't get an interview invitation from the Dao Palace; at most, he could only apply to a Dao Academy.

As for the Imperial Academy, it places even greater emphasis on the interview process, and the number of students admitted each year is pitifully small.

However, if his score doesn't even reach the admission score of the Dao Palace, he generally won't receive an interview invitation from the Imperial Academy.

In short, the text-based course dragged the whole thing down.

He was severely unbalanced in the five basic courses, with basic Taoist alchemy being a major hindrance.

So during this time, Li Chunfeng was really busy brushing up on basic knowledge and practicing, and he didn't even go to Yuancheng much.

The dean had secretly given a firm order: the academy had finally produced such a genius, and they had to send him to the Imperial Academy no matter what.

Therefore, the teachers kept a close eye on him and provided one-on-one instruction.

Especially the alchemy teacher at the academy, whose brows were constantly furrowed, as if he wished he could live in the alchemy room all day long. You could say that even if you're bad at other subjects, you still get a passing grade. But what does it mean to get 21 points on basic alchemy? It's incredibly disrespectful to the alchemy teacher.

Mr. Li was self-aware and also felt quite guilty, so he diligently absorbed the knowledge.

His life returned to normal, and every day was very peaceful.

It was as if the scenes of daily battles in the Ghost Realm had completely faded from his memory.

The tranquil atmosphere was not broken until the top ten students of Shan Hai Academy returned from their secret training.

"Who the hell in your class is named Li Chunfeng? Get out here right now!"

A tall, thin boy was yelling angrily at the classroom door, followed by two little followers.

Before Li Chunfeng could react, Hu Yifei saw the man and immediately slammed his hand on the table and jumped up.

"Xu Hao, are you looking for death? How dare you come to our class to cause trouble?"

"Hmph, I don't talk to defeated opponents. Tell Li Chunfeng to get out here!"

Hu Yifei was so angry he jumped up and down. "What did you say, you bastard! You were just lucky last time, the wind just happened to blow. If you're so tough, let's have another match and see who loses."

"Hehe, a good dog doesn't block the way."

Who are you calling a dog?

"I'll call anyone who blocks my way a dog."

"You bastard, say that again."

So the two got into a verbal battle, nose to nose, belly to belly, but they didn't actually fight.

Like a child.

Li Chunfeng walked over and patted Hu Yifei on the shoulder. "I am Li Chunfeng. I don't think I have offended you."

"So you're Li Chunfeng, you despicable bastard. You were late and missed the Qingyun Ranking selection, so you're trying to pull strings and take my place. Let me tell you, no way. I won't give up this spot, no matter who comes!"

Li Chunfeng frowned. "Is there some misunderstanding? I never did that, nor did I intend to take anyone's place. Where did you hear that?"

"If you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it, are you even a man? It's all over our Qingyun Ranking training team, saying you're going to take someone else's place in the Qingyun Ranking competition. Even the dean went over to talk to you, how could this be fake? Let me tell you, if you want me to withdraw, no way, understand? No way!" He was ranked tenth, so if anyone were to be replaced, he had the highest probability of being replaced.

Li Chunfeng understood. "It's a misunderstanding. I missed the selection competition, so I won't participate in the Qingyun Ranking individual competition, and I've never asked anyone to do that. I'll participate in the team selection competition. You can go now!"

Xu Hao was furious and clearly didn't believe him. "If it wasn't you, then who could it be? You coward who dares to do something but won't admit it. You think you're so great just because you're a Soul Cultivator? If you have the guts, come out and fight me."

But Li Chunfeng had already left the classroom and ignored him.

In this school, 90% of the students are orphans.

Most students can only rely on their parents' inheritance to make a living. Without renewable resources or connections, it's not easy for any student to succeed.

At fifteen or sixteen, they are still teenagers.

Orphans are sensitive, impulsive, and easily angered, and they are particularly sensitive to the attention of others. Li Chunfeng was all too familiar with their state. Because he had once been like that himself.

Therefore, he did not take Xu Hao's provocation to heart.

Although he did poorly on this mock exam, he wasn't actually that worried about the big exam.

If the eclipse is too poor, one can still use cunning to cheat.

With his current spiritual cultivation level, he could learn the other fundamental subjects very quickly, and even a short burst of intensive study would allow him to improve rapidly. If the Imperial Academy was unwilling to admit him, it would be their loss.

They turned around and entered Yuancheng.

Life at the academy was too comfortable; a few days of ease were enough, and he ultimately couldn't get used to that kind of life.

Arrive at the Sword Debate Platform.

Even without the support of the Azure Cloud Ranking, I still have the Godly Tribulation Ranking to strive for.

"it's time."

He entered the Land of Illusion and chose to be matched!
