"What in heavens\' name is he doing? It\'s been almost 15 minutes, yet he hasn\'t used a single demon sealing technique."

"If you\'re here to play around, then get out! There are others here waiting to practice!"

"Yeah! Get out! This isn\'t the place for you to play around!"

The cultivators there began getting frustrated at Yuan for purposefully not sealing the demon.

They have never seen a demon sealer as obnoxious as him until today.

"Calm down, everyone." Wan Yu suddenly said to them in a soothing voice, and he continued, "As far as I can tell, he\'s doing exactly what this place is meant to do— to allow you to practice fighting against demons without needing to worry about getting killed. Just because he\'s not using his demon sealing techniques does not mean he\'s not practicing."

The cultivators there no longer complained about Yuan not using his demon sealing technique, and they decided to watch him for a few minutes before losing interest and going to watch someone else.

Half an hour later, pretty much everyone had lost interest in Yuan\'s practice session besides 2 people, and they were both lecturers.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, can you tell me why you\'re so interested in this young man? Besides his impressive raw strength, I don\'t see anything else from him that\'s worthy of your attention."

Wan Yu smiled and said, "If you\'d seen his demon sealing aura, you would understand. Just be patient. It\'ll be worth the wait."

"If you say so." The other lecturer nodded.

While Yuan was focused on getting combat experience with a demon, a cold voice suddenly resounded, snapping him out of his focus, "Are you really even a Demon Sealer? You\'re so pathetic. Hahaha!"

To Yuan\'s surprise, the artificial demon had suddenly started speaking when it had been silent since the beginning!

Unbeknownst to Yuan, these artificial demons have a function where it will mock the fighter when they cannot seal the demon after a specific amount of time has passed.

They do so in order to put more pressure on the fighter by publicly humiliating them in front of others.

"If you don\'t hurry up and seal me, I will eat all of your loved ones… Hahaha!"

"Too bad someone as weak as you won\'t be able to stop me! You\'re doomed to watch your loved ones die before me!"

When Yuan heard the artificial demon\'s mockery, something had snapped inside him.

"Shut the hell up!"

Yuan suddenly jumped forward while his aura exploded with fierceness.

This sudden change surprised Wan Yu and the other lecturer.

[Demon Sealing Strike!]

Yuan swung the Empyrean Overlord directly at the artificial demon.

The artificial demon could feel a powerful demon sealing aura coming from the sword, so it reacted by dodging the strike.

However, Yuan\'s sword suddenly changed direction mid-motion, cleaving the demon\'s body cleanly in half.

"Hahah! Not bad! But you won\'t be able to defeat me like—" The artificial demon suddenly stopped speaking when it realized that its body was already beginning to feel stiff, and this feeling expanded through its body within seconds.

When it looked down at its own body, it realized that its regenerative abilities had stopped, and the lower half of its body had already turned into stone completely.

The demon slowly lifted its head to look at Yuan, who held a cold expression on his face, and for the next few seconds, they would quietly stare at each other until the rest of the artificial demon was sealed.

"Heavens…"

Both Wan Yu and the other lecturer uttered in a dazed voice after witnessing this scene.

The other cultivators there had also turned to look at Yuan\'s area, but nobody there saw the entire thing.

When they looked, the demon was already lying on the ground with its body separated in half and the lower half already petrified. However, they were able to watch the rest of the demon being sealed within seconds.

"W-What the fuck just happened? What did he do to the artificial demon? Did anyone see it?"

"No, I didn\'t see it. When I looked, the demon was already sealed."

Even though the cultivators there didn\'t know what happened, they knew that something incredible had happened, as the instructors\' faces were filled with awe, not to mention the powerful demon sealing aura that suddenly erupted moments ago, and these cultivators all wished that they\'d continued watching Yuan\'s practice.

"Such a powerful demon sealing aura… Just who is this young man? And where did you find him?" The lecturer beside Wan Yu asked him.

"I found him at the front of the Grand Library when he displayed the Demon Sealing Strike to get a badge to enter this place, and when I asked him, he said that he was new."

The lecturer swallowed nervously, and he approached the sealed demon a moment later.

After inspecting the artificial demon for a few seconds, he shook his head and said, "This artificial demon can no longer be used. It\'s been completely destroyed. The seal was too powerful."

"What?!"

The cultivators there were shocked to hear this information. They have never heard of an artificial demon being sealed to the point where they could no longer function.

"I-I\'m so sorry!" Yuan quickly apologized after realizing the situation.

\'I broke another piece of training equipment!\' He cried inwardly.

It feels like every time he practices on training equipment, it would inevitably break.

"I will pay for the damages…" Yuan said a moment later while inwardly bracing himself to sacrifice an arm and leg.

However, the lecturer merely laughed at his words and said while waving his hand, "Don\'t worry about it, young lad. These things are quite old, so I was already thinking about replacing them."

Of course, these artificial demons are maintained every day to make sure they are like new, but the lecturer didn\'t tell Yuan so that he doesn\'t feel bad about it.
