Chapter 842: Promotion to Elite Demon Sealer

“Phew, that took more effort than I’d expected.” Yuan sighed in relief after he finished recovering his spiritual energy.

“Young Master… Are you still the Young Master, or are you…” Feng Yuxiang had a feeling that his memories as the Divine Paragon had resurfaced again, affecting his behavior.

Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Feng Feng. It’s still me, Yuan.”

“Anyways, we still have plenty of time left before the end of the examination. Let’s get as many points as we can.”

He then stood up and turned to look in a specific direction.

“Why are you hiding? Come out and play with me!” Yuan suddenly said out loud.

When the demons in hiding heard Yuan’s words, they immediately turned around and began running away. They knew that they had no chance against a monster like Yuan, who single-handedly defeated the Abomination without giving it the chance to really retaliate.

“Where do you think you’re all going? You can run and hide, but you won’t escape from me! I can smell you all from miles away!”

A wide smile appeared on Yuan’s face as he chased after the demons, feeling better than ever before.

After consuming the Divine Paragon’s memories, his hidden fear towards demons disappeared, allowing his confidence to flow and becoming empowered by it.

Although he’s never really mentioned it to anyone, he was always fearful of demons inwardly. Perhaps even he was not aware of it, but now that fear is gone, it feels as though a massive amount of weight has been lifted off his back.

[Demon Sealing Strike!]

Yuan used this technique with Sword Aura, shredding the demon it struck until there was nothing left of it, killing it almost instantly.

‘The way he uses his Sword Aura… It reminds me of the Lord’s Sword Aura…. Lan Yingying thought to herself as she watched Yuan kill one demon after another from his wrist.

A few hours later, Yuan accumulated over 1,500 points.

“At this rate, he’ll clear out all of the demons within the Demons’ Valley.” Tang Zheng said.

“He’s going to have a field day Inside the treasure room with the amount of points he’ll have by the end of the examination.” Wan Yu smiled.

“And he still has another full day to acquire more points…” Yan Hare said.

“Oh well. Even if he empties out the treasure room, nobody can complain about it, as that is the rule of this examination.”

After another day of hunting demons, Yan Hara’s voice resounded from the necklace, ‘You have four hours left before the examination comes to an end.”

“Four hours, huh? Might as well end things now since it appears that I have hunted all of the demons in the Demons’ Valley.” Yuan mumbled to himself, as it has been over an hour since he last encountered a demon.

Thus, he began making his way towards the finish line.

He reached the Divine Paragon’s statue two hours later to see Wan Kaiqi cultivating beside the statue.

When Wan Kaiqi noticed Yuan’s presence, he opened his eyes and proceeded to stare at Yuan with a perplexed expression on his face.

Yuan glanced back at Wan Kaiqi and said, “I’m surprised to see you here before me. Did something happen?”

“No particular reason. I just got bored of fighting demons, so I decided to end it early,” Wan Kaiqi lied without any hesitation.

And he continued, “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my own words. If I lose, I will give you my points as promised.”

Yuan didn’t really care about Wan Kaiqi’s reasons for quitting early, so after hearing that Wan Kaiqi would honor their bet, he stopped bothering Wan Kaiqi and sat down to cultivate.

About an hour after Yuan’s arrival, Daoist Huan also showed up at the finish line, but she appeared to be a little agitated for some reason.

‘What the heck is going on with the examination? I stopped encountering demons after the second day!’ She sighed inwardly.

Although she knew that there was only a limited amount of demons to hunt for the examination, she could not have expected for Yuan to kill all of them within 2 days, hence her frustration and confusion.

However, that confusion would disappear shortly later when the judges appeared to announce the results.

Once all three participants arrived at the finish line, Yan Hera and the other judges showed up to end the examination.

“Congratulations on passing the examination. The three of you will be promoted to the rank of Elite Demon Sealer. We would normally hold a ceremony for such an occasion, but due to the current situation, we will have to skip the ceremony and go straight to the promotion.” Wan Yu said to them.

“Anyways, let’s announce the results of the examination.”

“Third place, Wan Kaiqi with 155 points.”

“Second place, Huan Xie with 289 points.”

“First place, Yuan with 2,056 points.”

“T-Two thousand points…?” Huan Xie looked at Yuan with her eyes as wide as saucers.

‘No wonder why I couldn’t find any demons! This guy killed them all!’

Two thousand points… That’s gotta be the record… Wan Kaiqi looked at Yuan with a bewildered face.

Indeed, Yuan’s two thousand points had beaten the previous record held by Dian Chu, even doubling it. “Do you guys have anything to say before we leave this place?” Wan Yu then asked.

Wan Kaiqi raised his hands and said, “My points… Give them to him.”

“What?” Wan Yu raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner.

“I lost a bet with him.” Wan Kaiqi said, not explaining any further.

“Very well. You have a total of 2,211 points now.” Wan Yu said to Yuan.

They left the Demons’ Valley shortly after and returned to the Grand Library, where Yan Hara handed them their new badges.

“Once again, congratulations,” she said to them.

“Thank you, Senior.” They bowed to her before taking their leave.

After the other two left, it was Just Yuan and the three Judges.

They turned to look at him and proceeded to stare at him in silence. They had so many questions for him that neither of them knew where to start..
