Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

(A long chapter of 4,000 words, not divided)

The children didn't speak; they watched Meng Yu.

Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment, Foundation Establishment by Enlightenment... These words surfaced in everyone's minds.

At this moment, who wouldn't be envious?

Meng Yu felt somewhat grateful as he looked at his audience; he saw Meng Yu's sword strike, wanted to know whether Meng Yu had achieved Foundation Establishment, and Meng Yu also needed to show True Lord of Bai Yang his talent and awesomeness, just in case it wasn't a virtual world, in case it was truly a battle royale, he had to let True Lord of Bai Yang know that Meng Yu was a genius among geniuses.

"Right, now if there's someone at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage, I think I should be able to beat them."

After saying this, Meng Yu deeply bowed to everyone and then stepped down.

No one spoke, no one objected.

"You, you're amazing!"

The group quickly returned to the camp, and Little Swallow looked at Meng Yu with utter amazement.

Although Meng Yu had used a stick to execute a sword move yesterday, the presence of a point of reference today made it even more astonishing.

"Well, you have to prepare some things for a prison escape, don't you?"

Meng Yu said with a cheeky grin. Of course, he couldn't possibly tell everyone about the hundredfold enhancement; if asked, his response would be "I've realized it," but I won't say; I just want to mischievously do something bad.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So impressive..."

Little Swallow said so, accepting Meng Yu's words.

"By the way, for this time's fifty spots, you guys won't be left out."

This statement by Meng Yu was directed at the remaining twenty-four companions, the original twenty-four, not including those who joined later.

"Everyone, I can't promise you anything, but please believe me, as long as you support me firmly from now on, I won't let you down."

"No problem."

"Alright!"

The twenty-four people were overjoyed; they could feel after spending a few days with Meng Yu that he was a righteous person.

"Okay, listen to Su Xiaomei's orders and do your own tasks. As long as everyone works diligently, I have taken note."

Meng Yu said this, and of course, the morale of those twenty-four people surged instantly.

Although the Alchemist group felt a bit down, they had nothing to say, and moreover, if there was a replacement, wouldn't they also be able to take advantage?

It was at this time that Zhuge Caihua came to visit.

...

Zhuge Caihua was a person of very special status, her master was Master Lihua, her background made her closely related to many people, and as for her appearance, everyone knew that Zhuge Caihua was actually a great beauty, just that she deliberately concealed her beauty due to the cultivation of the Wood Element.

She didn't make a big fuss, just came to see Meng Yu with two companions.

"Your swordsmanship..."

Although this was a courtesy conversation starter, thinking of Meng Yu's sword move still made Zhuge Caihua sincerely amazed.

"Quite good, with constant dangers in Hongye Prison, one always needs some aces up their sleeve, right?"

"Is Hongye Prison really that brutal?"

Zhuge Caihua was a bit curious.

"It's alright, the people there are nice. I just wanted to grow stronger, so I worked hard."

"Why don't you fight for first place?"

"It's a widely watched competition, broadcasted across the entire star system. Then, a young man in prison clothes, head shaved, holding a 9,999 Red Maple Wooden Sword wins first place. Do you guess if the Immortal Sect would immediately pardon me, or use me as a legal example, resolutely refusing to reduce my sentence?"

Meng Yu shook his head helplessly, and Zhuge Caihua also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if that happened, it would be harder for the Immortal Sect to operate in favor of reducing Meng Yu's sentence; instead, they would have to use him as a case study.

In the face of history's great trends, all are as insignificant as ants.

"Meng Yu, I'm here about your proposal. Why did you support yesterday's proposal for the competition?"

Zhuge Caihua asked this question.

"What if you don't get into the top 1,000 by the draw?"

Zhuge Caihua touched on a soul-searching question.

"First of all, foolish woman, your proposal could never have passed. Although most students would agree, the ten percent who oppose it are too many. For example, if there's a button, pressing it would randomly kill ninety-nine percent of people, including you; you can't exempt yourself. How many people do you think would press it?"

"Who would be such a fool to press it?"

Zhuge Caihua was a bit puzzled, while Meng Yu looked at Zhuge Caihua as if she were a silly girl.

A lot of people would choose to use an auto-clicker at that time.

"So, you see, you're a foolish woman; you've convinced some, but many won't believe you."

"What if it passed?"

"How could it pass? I was watching the vote, estimating the number of opponents. If I saw the trend going the wrong way, I would instantly renege, obstruct by all means, including harming some of you. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Of course, Meng Yu didn't say this out loud; he just silently said it in his heart. There was no such rule at the scene that one couldn't interfere with the vote. Let's just say, Zhuge Caihua is still too naive; she hasn't even considered the possibility that Meng Yu might turn his back right then and there.

"I abide by the rules; I trust everyone."

This was Meng Yu's lie.

Experience tales at empire

"But what if you don't get into the thousand by the draw?"

"Then, of course, I'll kneel before the True Lord right there, acknowledge him as my father, and beg him for a chance. I think, with my talent and understanding, if the True Lord really wanted to found a sect, he would undoubtedly take me as his eldest disciple."
