Chapter 328: Chapter 325: Demon Transformation Pool

"You... you’re asking the obvious."

Yu Yi felt a twinge of annoyance in her heart and glared fiercely at Ye Xuan. This guy, even now, still pretended to be completely clueless, which was just infuriating.

"Asking the obvious?"

Ye Xuan was somewhat taken aback, then frowned, becoming even more confused about what the other party was talking about.

"I’m here to fulfill our bet."

Yu Yi, fuming internally, gritted her teeth. This guy really was an act; the bet he himself had made, and now he was pretending so convincingly, forcing her to spell it out, was just too detestable.

"Bet, what bet..."

Ye Xuan lowered his head in thought, then suddenly his eyes lit up as he finally remembered the bet he had made with Yu Yi during the Genius Showdown.

"That’s what you’re talking about? Don’t worry about that, I’ve already forgotten about it..." Ye Xuan couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. At the time, he had said it casually, thinking that would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, Yu Yi took it seriously, no wonder she had come to see him dressed like this in the middle of the night.

"Forgotten? How can you just forget something so important?"

Yu Yi looked at Ye Xuan somewhat incredulously, "Rest assured, since I agreed to bet with you, I won’t go back on my word."

That said, she began to untie her belt and walked towards Ye Xuan.

"Wait a second."

Ye Xuan suddenly felt a headache coming on. He did not expect Yu Yi to be so persistent. He immediately feigned a pained expression and said, "I’m not feeling very well today. Let’s talk about the bet another time."

Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Yu Yi was actually a bit annoyed. Here she was, a girl, going to such lengths, and Ye Xuan should have accepted her half-heartedly at least, but seeing Ye Xuan making all sorts of excuses, it seemed like he really didn’t want to.

Did he find her that repulsive?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and Yu Yi quickened her pace, striding up to Ye Xuan and pushing him onto the bed.

Ye Xuan tried to get up but was firmly held down by Yu Yi’s palm. Only now did he realize that his body had not fully recovered and that he was no match for Yu Yi.

"What are you trying to do, don’t mess around, I’m going to yell for help."

Ye Xuan glared at her as she pinned him down, though his words lacked any sense of threat.

"Go ahead and yell. In this Skyfire Hall, there’s just you and me. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will pay any attention to you."

Yu Yi felt a secret thrill in her heart, realizing only now that Ye Xuan hadn’t regained his strength yet and was completely unable to resist her. Pinning Ye Xuan beneath her, she felt quite happy, her pretty face full of smiles. Little did he know, he’d have his day too?

At the same time, Yu Yi took the initiative to start unbuttoning Ye Xuan’s clothes.

"Wait!"

Ye Xuan hurriedly stopped Yu Yi. What a joke, if he was forced by Yu Yi today, what face would he have left to live in this world? Although it would be difficult for a woman to violate a man, with a stunning beauty like her, the outcome might be hard to predict.

"What’s the matter? You’re being so evasive, are you impotent or something?" Yu Yi stopped what she was doing, her arms crossed over her chest, seemingly looking down on Ye Xuan with some disdain.

"Ha... Impotent? That’s a joke, I’d scare you."

Ye Xuan didn’t expect Yu Yi to think this way. Impotent? How could such a thing be said lightly? It was probably the greatest insult to a man.

"Anything else you want to say, say it quickly."

Yu Yi looked a bit impatient. She didn’t really want to do anything with Ye Xuan; she just wanted to tease him since he backed out of the bet he’d proposed.

"I just happen to not feel well these days, you know, everyone has a few days each month when they’re just not up for it," Ye Xuan said with a steady gaze at Yu Yi, speaking in a soft voice.

"Really? I know women have a few days like that every month, do men have them too?" Yu Yi’s face broke into a half-mocking smile, pretending innocence.

Ye Xuan let out a sigh of relief, then smiled, "Of course, there are. If you still want to follow through with the bet after a few days, you’re welcome anytime."

Just to get through these few days, once his strength recovered, would he still let this brat have her way? The idea that he had come up with such an undignified excuse was embarrassing, but once he was recovered, he’d have to teach her a lesson.

"Is that so? Let me give you a check-up then."

A sly smile curled on Yu Yi’s lips, and as she spoke, she grabbed for Ye Xuan’s belt again, revealing a dazzling smile that made him feel a little guilty.

"No need, no need, I can do it myself." Ye Xuan shook his head quickly, but as he was about to get up, Yu Yi pressed him back down, and the radiant smile on her face vanished in an instant.

"You really take me for a three-year-old little girl that can be fooled so easily?"

Yu Yi’s pretty face quickly grew cold, "Such a shameful excuse, I can’t believe you came up with it. Do you find me that repulsive?"

After all, she was one of the favored daughters of Sky Demon Mountain, with countless admirers bending over backward to gain her favor. Yet, Ye Xuan was the exact opposite; he even ignored her proactive advances as if afraid to have any relationship with her.

How could there be such a person in this world?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Yu Yi became, so she let go of Ye Xuan and walked out of the room without a word.

"Dislike? If I disliked you, why would I stay in Skyfire Hall?"

Ye Xuan shook his head. These things couldn’t simply be explained with words like ’like’ or ’dislike’. If there was anyone to blame, it was only his own lack of forethought.

Without dwelling on this issue any further, Ye Xuan closed his eyes and resumed his rest and recovery.

...

While Ye Xuan was in seclusion, the turmoil outside was far from over. It would take some time before the buzz about him would settle down.

Meanwhile, at Demon Dragon Peak, the Demon Dragon Young Master was also cultivating with all his effort. His sole purpose was to challenge Ye Xuan once again and reclaim his position as number one.

He, the Demon Dragon Young Master, could not stand being trampled underfoot by a mere ant.

"Father."

Sensing a figure appearing behind him not too far away, the Demon Dragon Young Master turned around and respectfully bowed.

The newcomer was one of the two Supremes of Sky Demon Mountain, the Demon Dragon Venerable.

"It seems that losing to that Ye Xuan has given you quite the shock. How soon do you plan to challenge that boy again?" The Demon Dragon Venerable knew his son’s temperament; he would never settle for being second. The loss to Ye Xuan in the talent competition had hit him hard. Using this momentum and learning from the shame could turn things around and defeat Ye Xuan, regaining the peak was not impossible.

"One month. Just one month, and I’ll let him taste the bitterness of defeat."

The Demon Dragon Young Master’s eyes flashed with hatred. Losing to Ye Xuan in the decisive battle had brought him unbearable humiliation. This time, he would make Ye Xuan taste defeat and reclaim his glory.

"Good, one month. In one month’s time, I will be waiting to see your performance."

The Demon Dragon Venerable nodded; his son had never disappointed him, except for the recent setback in the talent competition. He believed a simple stumble was nothing. As long as the victory could be reclaimed, even a loss could be tolerated.

"Rest assured, father, I won’t let that low-bloodline boy feel proud for too long."

The Demon Dragon Young Master considered his own bloodline noble. Ye Xuan had so far not shown any powerful bloodline strength, likely just some low-level demon. Even if he was ahead for the moment, it definitely wouldn’t last.

In a month, he would defeat Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan knew nothing about the movements on the Demon Dragon Young Master’s side. After he had recovered his full True Qi, he went to the Merit Hall.

By taking the first place in the talent competition, he would be awarded 20,000 Merit Points. Otherwise, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have fought so hard for the top position. He was never interested in empty fame; only tangible benefits could move him.

20,000 Merit Points, and he had to spend half of them to exchange for entry into the Demon Transformation Pool. His current priority was to enter the Demon Transformation Pool and awaken the bloodline of the Demon Clan within him.

Ye Xuan believed that if his bloodline was awakened, his combat power would surely surge again. Then, in Sky Demon Mountain, he would have more confidence. After all, only personal strength could ensure his safety; relying on others was ultimately unreliable.

Upon entering the Merit Hall, Ye Xuan saw Blackheart Old Demon who brightened up upon seeing him and said with a sigh, "Kid Ye, I really misjudged you before. I never recognized such an unparalleled talent. So, what brings you to the Merit Hall? Want to exchange for something?"

As the winner of the talent competition, Blackheart Old Demon knew Ye Xuan had 20,000 Merit Points—a considerable sum that could exchange for quite a few precious items.

"I want to exchange for a chance to enter the Demon Transformation Pool."

Ye Xuan got straight to the point.

The Demon Transformation Pool was a critical area of Sky Demon Mountain, usually off-limits for most; even core members like Yu Yi could only go in for free once. To enter again, they had to pay 10,000 Merit Points.

The greatest effect of the Demon Transformation Pool was to activate bloodline power and, secondly, to enhance cultivation. Blackheart Old Demon couldn’t imagine that Ye Xuan was aiming to activate his bloodline; he would never have guessed that without an awakened Demon Clan bloodline, Ye Xuan had the ability to defeat the Demon Dragon Young Master.

What if the bloodline was activated?

"Entering the Demon Transformation Pool requires 10,000 Merit Points." Blackheart Old Demon swiped Ye Xuan’s token, then handed him another black token, "This is the pass token for the Demon Transformation Pool. You can enter at any time in the next few days. Don’t delay too long."

"Understood."

Taking the token from Blackheart Old Demon, Ye Xuan felt a surge of excitement. The Demon Transformation Pool was something he had long wanted to enter, and now he was eager to take this opportunity to see exactly what race he belonged to and what level of real bloodline power lay within him.
