Chapter 67: Demonization

  "Ah, how can it be you? Mr. Li's face changed drastically, and he hastily retreated, looking as if he had seen a ghost."

  "Does the teacher also believe in ghost stories?" Guo Ming laughed and said.

  Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, thinking that ghosts couldn't be afraid of light, and he hadn't done anything to wrong Guo Ming, so even if he were a ghost, he wouldn't have any reason to come looking for him. He composed himself, his eyes darting towards the spot where Guo Ming had been standing, and in the sunlight, a slanted shadow clearly appeared. Mr. Li excitedly stepped forward, grabbing Guo Ming's hand, and exclaimed, "Guo Ming, it's you! You're not dead!"

  "Hehe, nothing, just something happened, now it's resolved, so I'm back." Guo Ming said with a light smile. He could fully feel the teacher's appreciation for his talent.

  "That's good, that's good, just right. I won't seal your student status then. By the way, Guo Ming, do you still want to reserve a spot for the gifted class? The teacher's suggestion is to give it up. In these twenty-odd days, if you have time, I can give you some special training. I believe that with your talent, you can compete for the top spot in the county. Seeing Guo Ming hesitate and not speak, he continued, "How about it? Think about it?"

  Guo Ming was about to refuse, but Teacher Li hastily interrupted him, saying: "Guo Ming, you represent not only yourself, but also the school. Although I don't understand why you want to hide your scores, it's not a good thing to keep a treasure hidden away all the time. Think about what people strive for in life - isn't it just two things: fame and fortune?" Seeing Guo Ming frown slightly, Teacher Li smiled freely and said: "Don't think I'm being too worldly, but that's just how life is. You chose to be high-profile twice, didn't you want to make a good impression on others? Otherwise, you could have made a breakthrough in the middle school exams. Since you've chosen to be high-profile, don't give up now - strive for your best at this critical juncture of the high school entrance exams and shine with the most brilliant light of your life!"

  Guo Ming carefully considered the teacher's words, and finally he had to admit that he indeed had such a mentality at first. The reason why he was not willing to continue taking the exam was nothing more than his own limited time, he needed to cultivate himself, but after being in the deep pool, his magical powers had greatly increased, and it was impossible to make another breakthrough in a short period of time. So why not, as the teacher said, make a desperate effort for himself, and also for his parents to gain a good reputation.

  Just as he was about to respond, a wave of icy cold air suddenly surged into his mind, and Guo Ming's body trembled violently, his face changing drastically, emitting an aura of frigid coldness.

  Mr. Li took a few steps back and asked in a low voice, "Guo Ming, what's wrong with you?"

  "You've indeed done something to me, Guo Ming said with a difficult expression. Apologetically smiling at the teacher not far away, he said, "Teacher, sorry, I have many things on my hands right now and really don't have time to study." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left."

  As soon as he arrived at the school gate, the mobile phone in Guo Ming's pocket rang. Guo Ming took it out of his pocket and put it to his ear.

  "Tomorrow, your father is treating at Jinli Hotel, you come too."

  "Ah, okay. Guo Ming understood that since his parents had informed their relatives and friends yesterday, they were preparing for his funeral, but his unexpected appearance made them extremely surprised. His father's arrangement of wine and banquet today also meant to dispel the bad luck. At that time, all members of the family will come."

  At this moment, a chill ran through his mind, and Guo Ming's eyes flashed with anger. With a loud crack, he crushed his phone in his hand.

  Yu Xia only heard the sound of dripping on that day, and hastily changed her expression, saying "Tomorrow, tomorrow, what's wrong with you?"

  But when she called again, no matter what, she couldn't get through. Her son's loss and recovery made her extremely surprised, but it seemed that her son had just encountered another bad situation, and Yu Xia was anxious, rushed to Guo Zhengzhen's side, and didn't care who was around him, flustered said, "Zhengzhen, something happened to Ming'er."

  "What did you say? Guo Zheng's face changed and he asked, what exactly happened?"

  Yu Xia hastily recounted what had just happened. Guo Zheng then took out his mobile phone and dialed twice, but still couldn't get through.

  "What to do? What to do? Yu Xia is about to collapse, she cannot afford to lose her son again."

  "No way, I still have to call Qingshu sister over," Yu Xia said listlessly.

  Kuo Cheng then hastily grabbed her hand and said, "What are you joking about? What exactly happened is still unclear to anyone now. You rashly called Qingyu over, what if nothing's wrong? Who is she that she can always be meddling in our family affairs?"

  "What's going to happen then?" Yu Xia asked with a hopeful tone.

  The mobile phone rang, and Yu Xia hastily pulled out the phone from her pocket and pressed the answer button, "Who is this?"

  "Mom, it's me, tomorrow."

  Yu Xia felt that this was the best sound in the world, and her heart finally calmed down. "Is tomorrow," Yu Xia mouthed to Guo Zheng.

  Kuang Zheng then took a few deep breaths and shook his head with a bitter smile.

  "What's wrong? Why can't I get through on your cell phone all of a sudden?" Yu Xia asked softly.

  "Oh, my phone fell into the water," Guo Ming explained. "Mom, I have something to do and might be a bit late."

  "It's okay, your uncle's family hasn't arrived yet," Yu Xia said with a smile.

  "Then I'll hang up first," said Guo Ming.

  "Okay."

  On the other side, Guo Ming gently hung up the phone and appeared in his own form from thin air. He took a glance at a high school student lying on the ground, sighed, deleted the chat record, and handed it to him. Then he stepped on his foot and flew home.

  If others saw him, they would probably be shocked, because his appearance had undergone a huge change. His short hair had grown to shoulder length and was fluttering in the wind. A pair of starry eyes sparkled with life, and he looked dignified and handsome, much more so than before. However, there was still a hint of evil aura about him - how could there not be? Guo Ming silently lamented that he had never expected to receive the demonic cultivation method from Zi Yu. This was the result of the demonic energy eroding his own body. The idea of dual cultivation sounded impressive, but in reality, how many people throughout history had been foolish enough to try it? It was essentially a death wish. For now, Guo Ming was still okay, because neither side's power was strong enough, and he could barely keep them from influencing each other. However, as their powers grew stronger, he would inevitably face huge trouble in the future.

  Purple Rain, Purple Rain, I didn't think you'd be so ruthless. Originally, I had a promising future in cultivating immortality, but now it's all gone wrong - I won't become an immortal and I've also become a demon. Just like a mixed-blood child, not recognized by either side.

  The top priority is to change one's appearance, Guo Mingke doesn't want to go out and meet people in this state, he doesn't have the potential to be surrounded by people and stared at like a monkey.

  Guo Mingyi returned home and closed his eyes for introspection, but what he saw left him stunned.

  The two strands of True Essence within the body are not mutually non-interfering, on the contrary, they both try to engulf each other. The demonic True Essence is overbearing and unparalleled, repeatedly clashing with its own Daoist True Essence, and its quantity is also much more than that of the Daoist True Essence.

  The true yuan of the Taoist family emphasizes clarity and inaction. Guo Ming's true yuan is the way of water. The strongest point of the way of water is defense. It is strong because it is strong, and the clear wind sweeps over the mountain ridge. The profound and vast way of water is absolutely not something that the tyrannical true yuan of the demonic path can shake. In the end, the demonic true yuan may feel that it cannot overcome the Taoist true yuan, and so it retreats.

  You think you can just hit and run? Not that easy, even Guo Ming wouldn't dare. What's more, it's the true yuan of the Daoist sect within Guo Ming. After all, the demonic path's true yuan has taken over his territory. Simple, counterattack! The still water is calm and peaceful, but when it moves, it can stir up a massive wave. The water true yuan charged forward with an unstoppable momentum.

  Mo Dao's true origin saw the opponent's stance and didn't let go, immediately welcoming the battle. Who was afraid of whom? This had made things difficult for Guo Ming on the outside. Two extremely strong powers within Guo Ming finally met in their first collision.

  Kuo Ming could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, he felt that several tendons had been broken in this blow.

  Another violent impact, Guo Ming's face turned pale as paper and he burst into a loud curse.

  Two strands of true yuan seemed to have sparked a real fire, the frequency of collision getting faster and faster, which made Guo Ming suffer, he could only silently endure.
