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

Lv Qiuling's powerful Spirit Pets were almost all killed by Chen Yu.

Now, the Spirit Pets Lv Qiuling brought out were mostly those she tamed temporarily with the help of a large team during the trial, so there weren't many high-level Spirit Pets.

In the eyes of the uninformed, Lv Qiuling was among the best of the Beast Tamers.

This time, Lv Qiuling brought out a group of lower-ranked Spirit Pets, which truly took people by surprise.

"Could it be that Lv Qiuling's powerful Spirit Pets really were all killed in the secret realm by Chen Yu?"

"That can't be possible, even if Chen Yu is strong, he couldn't possibly have killed that many Spirit Pets."

Questions revolved in the minds of the spectators.

They had thought that in this battle, Lv Qiuling would undoubtedly win, but now their certainty was shaken.

"Chen Yu, where's your Spirit Pet? Why isn't it joining the battle?"

Lv Qiuling suddenly asked.

Actually, she was very concerned about Chen Yu's Spirit Pets.

The Fire Scale Beast was an ancient beast and, since it was of a low cultivation level, it was easy to tame.

The main reason she had attempted to kill Chen Yu before was because she coveted Chen Yu's Spirit Pets.

"To deal with you, I alone am enough,"

Chen Yu said very casually.

Actually, sometimes he couldn't even command the Red Flame King; he guessed the Red Flame King also despised this kind of boring fight.

"Attack!"

Lv Qiuling's face was covered with a frosty chill.

Boom boom boom~

Suddenly, in front of Chen Yu, more than a dozen Demon Beasts radiated a boundless fierce demonic aura, all of them fixing their gaze on Chen Yu and charging ferociously.

"Heh heh, just these little guys."

Chen Yu grinned and activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body, his body becoming dark and shiny.

At the same time, Chen Yu drew in a breath, and strong winds howled around him, his belly swelling up.

Wooo~

Suddenly, an explosive sound like thunder burst from Chen Yu's mouth, forming a dim sound wave impact that enveloped the area ahead, causing the view to distort.

Instantly, those dozen or so Spirit Pets trembled in place, bleeding from their ears and noses, some even losing consciousness, blasted off the fighting platform by the fierce sound wave impact.

Even the three Innate Peak Spirit Pets found it hard to resist Chen Yu's Sound Wave Secret Technique, suffering internal injuries as their organs were damaged and their blood boiled.

Chen Yu's "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" had just broken through the third layer, enhancing his constitution.

This "Copper Lion Roar" was driven by both the Secret Pattern Demon Body and the energy of the demonic patterns; its power was naturally extraordinary.

However, after crushing the group of Spirit Pets, Chen Yu didn't see the shadow of Lv Qiuling.

"Chen Yu, prepare to die!"

A cold voice came from the sky, and immediately a huge shadow enveloped Chen Yu.

Chen Yu looked up, and there was Lv Qiuling, riding the blue Cang Ying, launching an attack on Chen Yu.

The blue Cang Ying had only been poisoned before and wasn't fatally injured; now it had recovered.

He was even more surprised that Lv Qiuling would actually use this kind of blind spot trick against him.

Having fought with Chen Yu before and also having observed several of Chen Yu's fights, she felt that Chen Yu's strength had greatly improved.

Therefore, she started taking Chen Yu seriously, which is why she didn't summon the blue Cang Ying at the beginning of this battle as a means to confuse Chen Yu.

When the group of Demon Beasts rushed toward Chen Yu, Lv Qiuling used them to block Chen Yu's vision and summoned the blue Cang Ying for an aerial attack.

Whoosh swish!

The blue Cang Ying's sharp eagle eyes focused intently on Chen Yu, its steel-like blue giant claws violently striking down.

It remembered that it was this human who had injured its wing, causing it to fall from the sky.

This scene also greatly surprised the other spectators: "It seems Chen Yu is not as simple as he appears on the surface; otherwise, why would the second-ranked student from Sky Star Academy resort to such a strategy?"

As the blue Cang Ying's giant claws reached for Chen Yu,

The blue Cang Ying, one of Lv Qiuling's powerful Spirit Pets, possessed strength close to the Guiyuan Realm. This strike was powerful enough to easily defeat an average Innate Peak practitioner.

However, Chen Yu did not move and took out the "Giant Ruler Sword."

Boom bang!

Chen Yu swung the giant sword, clashing fiercely with the blue Cang Ying's sharp claws.

To everyone's surprise, Chen Yu's sword strike managed to block the blue Cang Ying's dive.

"Explode!"

Chen Yu shouted fiercely, unleashing a sword move "Sword Breaking Nebula" from the "Shocking Evil Sword Technique."

Boom rumble!

An enormous amount of energy from the demonic patterns, condensed on the Giant Ruler Sword, suddenly burst apart, forming a storm of demonic Qi.

The blue Cang Ying, being a bird and not skilled in defense, immediately retracted its claws and retreated.

"My Spirit Pet, with strength close to the Guiyuan Realm, is actually evenly matched with Chen Yu!"

Lv Qiuling was inwardly shocked, Chen Yu's increase in strength was truly terrifying.

Of course, Chen Yu's "Heavenly Demon Secret Pattern Record" had just achieved Great Success at the second layer and was only a step away from the third layer; after entering the ancient ruins, Chen Yu had taken that step.

Ding ding bang!

Chen Yu continuously swung his giant sword.

A High Grade King-level Treasure, along with the Secret Pattern Demon Body and demonic pattern energy, pressing the offensive, dominated the blue Cang Ying.

But the eagle, having followed Lv Qiuling for a considerable time and possessing strong combat abilities, managed to cope.

"Slash!"

Chen Yu immediately leaped up, wielding the giant sword and chopping toward the blue Cang Ying's wing.

This could be considered one of its weaknesses; after all, if its wings were damaged, the eagle wouldn't be able to fly, and its combat power would plummet.

"Don't even think about it!"

Lv Qiuling, controlling the Cang Ying, ascended.

"Chen Yu, the sky is my domain!"

Lv Qiuling looked down from high above at Chen Yu, with a cold smile on her face.

For an average person, being looked down upon from a high vantage point, powerless to do anything but wait for an attack, would create a certain psychological pressure, affecting their strength and mentality, which could easily lead to defeat.

But Chen Yu was evidently not that kind of person.

He immediately took out a pair of black wings from his storage bag, condensed True Qi and fastened them on his back.

Roar~

A loud roar like an angry wind, and Chen Yu, executing the "Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow," shot straight up.

Halfway through, his black wings began to flap, generating a stream of black air.

Instantly, Chen Yu's speed increased by fifty to sixty percent.

"Devilish Evil Frenzy Shadow", which was already adept at straight-line speed, now increased by another fifty to sixty percent; the terrifying speed that Chen Yu unleashed surprised even Duan Xinyue below the stage.

At this moment, Chen Yu seemed to transform into an ancient flying beast, shooting straight into the sky, and suddenly appearing above the azure Cang Ying.

This scene made Lv Qiuling's heart tremble, and the azure Cang Ying was also deeply affected.

Just a moment ago, this master and pet duo were still looking down on Chen Yu, but now, their positions had been reversed.

"Kill!"

Chen Yu did not fly very high.

When he reached above Lv Qiuling, he controlled his wings and dove downward.

Cling clang!

Chen Yu's sword slashed down, and the azure Cang Ying barely managed to react in time to use its Iron Claw to block, but its figure sank a bit.

Now, Lv Qiuling had no choice but to act, lashing out with a brown leather whip.

Chen Yu's gaze sharpened, the Demonic Qi gathered in his hand, and the defensive capability of his Secret Pattern Demon Body was brought to bear as he caught the whip with one hand.

"To catch my treasure with bare hands!"

Lv Qiuling's eyes widened in disbelief.

In this moment, Chen Yu did not seem human but more like a ferocious demon beast.

Cling cling clang!

Chen Yu swung his Giant Ruler Sword again, each strike immensely powerful, relentlessly attacking the azure Cang Ying.

After all, the bird only had two claws, insufficient to fend off the strikes.

Boom!

Its head was smacked by Chen Yu's sword, leaving it dizzy and struggling to maintain balance, plunging toward the ground.

"Not good!"

Lv Qiuling hurriedly released a potent True Qi to hover in mid-air.

"You've lost your flying Spirit Pet, now the sky is my domain!"

Chen Yu laughed heartily, charging forward.

"Scram!"

Lv Qiuling retracted her whip and, channeling Half-step True Essence, lashed out fiercely.

Cling clang clang!

Chen Yu was fearless; in the sky, his movement technique's speed and agility far surpassed that of Lv Qiuling.

Even as Lv Qiuling utilized Half-step True Essence, Chen Yu managed to block.

Whip-type weapons were suited for long-range attacks, and they were even harder to control when attacking up close.

Chen Yu seized this detail, closing in on Lv Qiuling.

Bang boom!

With one sword strike, Lv Qiuling couldn't fully defend in time and was blown back by Chen Yu.

Boom!

Another strike and Lv Qiuling was seriously injured, spitting out a mouthful of blood, falling towards the ground below.

With a "pom" sound, Lv Qiuling landed on the dueling platform, her body shuddering violently as she couldn't help vomiting another mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, she had been descending all along, and the distance to the ground was not great; otherwise, she might have been fatally injured.

"I admit defeat!"

Lv Qiuling immediately conceded.

At the moment, without the strength to fight and still on the platform, if she did not admit defeat, Chen Yu could freely attack and humiliate her as long as he did not kill her, which would not violate the rules.

As Lv Qiuling conceded, the tense spectators nearby finally relaxed.

"I never expected to witness an aerial battle, truly thrilling!"

"Yes, aerial combat is more dangerous, but the outcome was far beyond my expectation!"

"The second-ranked student of Sky Star Academy, Lv Qiuling, actually lost to Chen Yu. He is definitely the dark horse of this tournament!"

"But, if Lv Qiuling, being a Beast Tamer, had more powerful Spirit Pets at her disposal, the outcome of this battle might have been different!"

Many spectators sighed and expressed their opinions.

Chen Yu landed and immediately retracted his wings.

This black remnant wing consumed a great deal of True Qi, especially during flight.

"Chen Yu's victory!"

The referee announced the result.

Lv Qiuling, lying on the dueling platform, looked at Chen Yu with a complex gaze before stepping down.

Until now, she had never lost an aerial fight below the Guiyuan Realm, but today was an exception, something she never anticipated.

"Interesting!"

Duan Xinyue's eyes, like two crescent moons, watched Chen Yu with great interest.

Up to now, the fourth dueling platform had progressed to the thirteenth round.

And with thirteen consecutive victories, Duan Xinyue also held the same record.

In the fourth dueling platform, Duan Xinyue was undisputedly the strongest, with Lv Qiuling assuredly in second place.

The remaining competitors could only vie for the last spot to possibly enter the final battle.

But with Lv Qiuling's defeat, everyone knew that the third spot now belonged to Chen Yu!

The matches continued.

In the fifteenth round, Chen Yu's opponent conceded.

What a joke, even a strong opponent like Lv Qiuling, who had a flying mount, had been defeated by Chen Yu; if he didn't concede, was he waiting to be humiliated?

Moreover, at this stage, conceding to a strong opponent like Chen Yu was not shameful; it was seen as wisdom.

Thereafter, Chen Yu was practically uninvolved.

His streak of consecutive victories kept being refreshed!

Reacting to this, Chen Yu simply sat down and began to cultivate.

His strength was now formidable, and contending for the top three spots was not out of his reach.

However, the Half-step True Essence within his body was limited, only enough to sustain a few extravagant moves, so Chen Yu seized the moment to refine more.

Round after round went by.

Until round twenty-two.

"Duan Xinyue versus Chen Yu!"

After the referee's announcement, he looked at the two with anticipation, evidently looking forward to this match.
