Chapter 207: Slander and Whitewash

"...So, what do you think?" Chen Lingyun asked with a smile after explaining all the information.

The girls exchanged glances.

Although Chen Lingyun did not give a direct conclusion, everyone was not stupid. Of course, they could hear that the conclusion of the intelligence was that except Cai Qianlong, the other four members of the Feilong team were "ordinary cultivators."

"In other words," Lin Ningxin said bluntly, "if we send one person to hold Cai Qianlong back, and we quickly eliminate the remaining four, we can secure victory."

"But Cai Qianlong should also be able to see this." Su Yunjin was a cautious person and speculated, "He should lay a trap for this. The question is, what kind of trap will it be?"

"Let Yan Yu fight Cai Qianlong alone. No matter what traps he has, blow them all up." Zhao Yuanzhen said nonchalantly.

Chen Lingyun listened to everyone's opinions with a smile, and finally turned her gaze to Xie Ruoxi who was sitting in the corner.

The other girls followed suit and looked over.

Xie Ruoxi sat alone in the back, her petite body holding the huge Tianyuan Yiqi sword, which looked very much like the style of a two-dimensional mobile game (girl + heavy sword).

As everyone's gazes turned towards her, she suddenly woke up from her daze and said:

"Ah? With Yan Zhanlong's strength, wouldn't it be better for him to just push past him?"

Everyone was speechless. This kid was severely manipulated by Yan Yu a few days ago, but he is still his brainless fan. His favorability doesn't seem to be declining. It must have crystallized.

"That's right." After finishing the call, Yan Yu returned to the girls and said, "We need to anticipate what tactics they will use, but don't put too much pressure on ourselves."

"Even if our prediction is wrong, with our current strength, we can just push through it when the time comes."

After he said that, the girls really relaxed and started chatting and laughing.

Chen Lingyun took in everyone's expressions and realized that although no one said it on the surface, they were still under pressure in their hearts - the pressure did not come from the Feilong Team, but from external public opinion from all walks of life.

Many people outside are saying that the Zhenhai Team is a "harem team", so everyone naturally wants to prove that they are not "harem vases", which creates an urgency to "win".

But what Yan Yu said was indeed correct. As long as the Feilong Team did not resort to any tricks, their chances of winning were actually very small.

Turning the thinking around, if the opponent wants the Dragon Team to win, then they must resort to tricks...

She calmly took out her phone and started sending messages.

The flight arrived at Taihang Mountain Airport at noon. As soon as the team members got off the plane, they saw media teams outside, holding cameras and taking pictures of everyone.

Of course, being interviewed at the airport was out of the question. The reason these reporters were snapping away was simply to get a striking photo to put in the news flash titled "Zhenhai Squadron Arrives in Shanxi Province."

This time, the Zhenhai team's confrontation with the Feilong team was reported nationwide and attracted national attention. Even a diary-like news report like "The team arrived" could still attract a lot of traffic!
At the same time, beneath the almost boiling public opinion, there is an invisible undercurrent surging.

At 11:24 AM, the Daily's official Weibo account published an article titled "Who Will Supervise the Team Captain?" The article claimed that personnel appointments within the Monk Team were currently entirely decided by the team captain. What if the captain himself had problems? The team was formed using military funds. Who could supervise the captain to ensure these funds were not misused? How could the team's talent selection be fair and just?

The post was only up on Weibo for 11 minutes before being removed at 11:35 AM, but by then it had already been widely shared. Many influential Weibo users seized on the issue, accusing someone of "using military funds to maintain a harem" or "treating the military like a party." While few names were mentioned, everyone in the comment section knew who they were referring to.

The other side had already fired the first shot, sparking a wave of nationwide criticism. Of course, this side wasn't made of clay and began to play its hidden cards. At 12:00 noon, Shixun Live held a pre-event at Jianghai Mansion, inviting two very famous live streamers: Xu Dongming and Zhou Erhe, to serve as professional commentators for tomorrow's competition and today's pre-event show.

As we all know, professional commentators for superhuman battles aren't easy to find. After all, you have to at least understand their power systems to be able to make accurate judgments based on the actual battle situation.

As for these two professional guests, Xu Dongming was previously a professional basketball commentator, while Zhou Erhe was an esports player who later transitioned to become a major gaming streamer. Logically, both are complete outsiders. Therefore, the question of how they were able to obtain such a wealth of knowledge related to monastics at this stage clearly raises questions.

At this moment, in the official live broadcast room of Shixun, the big screen behind was playing the popular video "The Violent Aesthetics of Yan Zhanlong", and two professional commentators were explaining it to everyone.

"Yan Zhanlong's movement here is actually his signature form," Xu Dongming said seriously. "We know that cultivators have three methods of movement: 'Divine Movement Technique', 'Cloud Ascending Technique', and 'Wall-Walking Technique'..."

He was very serious at first, briefly introducing the three techniques, and then began to explain Yan Zhanlong's signature body movement. As he spoke, he habitually boasted, and his voice began to rise:
"The Divine Movement Technique can instantly accelerate from a standstill to 16 meters per second, while the Cloud Ascending Technique can eliminate inertia and bring the vehicle back to a standstill. Think of them like the accelerator and brakes of a car."

"Stepping on the accelerator and braking—every driver knows how to do it, not just professional racers. But the only one who can achieve this is Fujiwara Takumi, who can coordinate the accelerator, handbrake, and steering wheel to drift through the hairpin turns of Akina Mountain through the drainage ditch!"

"So Yan Yu, the captain of the Zhenhai team, is the only Fujiwara Takumi in the world of cultivators! He is the true racing god of Akina Mountain!!!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Erhe narrowed his eyes and grinned, "Comparing Yan Yu to Fujiwara Takumi, isn't that a bit inappropriate? Fujiwara Takumi is a pure virgin, played around by that... Mogi Natsuki. Yan Yu is obviously not, right? Now people outside are saying that Yan Yu is running a harem team."

"Oh, what harem team? Don't listen to what people outside say." Xu Dongming immediately said eloquently, "Fujiwara Takumi is indeed a pure virgin, no matter how good he drives, that's just so-so. But Yan Zhanlong is a superhuman. Do you know how much a superhero of Yan Zhanlong's level of combat power earns annually in Mitch's Super Hero League? Do you know how many women those sports stars have in their private lives?"

"If Yan Zhanlong really wanted to start a harem, he wouldn't target his teammates. He'd just hold a nationwide open search for a girlfriend. Those who signed up for the preliminary round would have to queue up for a lottery, and he'd have a different girlfriend every day for years..."

The show's production crew was also bewildered: "I'm asking you to help whitewash him, not to vulgarize the show and get it banned!" They quickly signaled to the staff to stop.

Zhou Erhe received the news from outside the field and quickly said:

"Okay, rumors about a harem team don't sound possible. Now let's continue watching the video..."

Although the two stopped in time, they were good at live streaming on the Internet. These jokes quickly spread and gave the "Bird's Nest" fans an extremely powerful counterattack.

"If Yan Zhanlong really wanted to start a harem, how could he only accept four people?"

"The ignorant old farmer thought the emperor was using a golden shoulder pole to carry manure and water the vegetables. It made me laugh to death."

"Yan Zhanlong is now the number one cultivator in Lu Country. How could he be entangled in love?"

"How can cultivation be fun for women?"

Yan Yu was unaware of the chaos outside. He just took the girls to stay in a local hotel and prepared to attend the press conference in the afternoon.

Since you have to appear in public in front of a large number of media, makeup is naturally an indispensable part.

Xie Ruoxi immediately revived and took the initiative to take on the makeup artist's job.
"Chen Lingyun, you will be the spokesperson. Is that okay?" Yan Yu asked casually.

"No problem." Chen Lingyun had just finished letting Xie Ruoxi put on her lipstick and smiled sweetly, "But if they call on the captain to answer, I won't care."
