Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 209: As monks, we disdain such behavior

After dinner, the members of the Zhenhai team went back to their hotel rooms to rest.

The official secret realm opening is tomorrow, and the girls had planned to go shopping tonight. However, it was said that many reporters were lying in wait on the street outside the hotel, so the Dingbei Army sent someone to inform them: "It is recommended not to go out unless you want to be on camera."

Of course, even if surrounded by reporters for interviews, the Dingbei Army, as the host, would rush over to save the situation, but it would still be very troublesome.

Yan Yu was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Su Yunjin standing outside, holding a fruit bowl in her hand, and said openly:

"I brought you some fruit."

"Where are you from?" Yan Yu let her in.

"The restaurant on the second floor." Su Yunjin placed the fruit bowl on the table. "Have you read the online public opinion after the press conference?"

"No, what did you say?" Yan Yu asked.

"They all say, 'I didn't believe you had a harem at first, but after seeing so many beauties, I believe it.'" Su Yunjin said with a smile.

"Haha." Yan Yu was about to say a few words to mock netizens, but stopped at his lips.

To be honest, she is indeed a beauty.

Secretary Su still had the same makeup on her face as when she attended the press conference in the afternoon. Her lips looked fuller and her eyeliner was brighter. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head, leaving a few strands of hair on both sides of her cheeks. She looked delicate yet charming and cunning. No wonder some reporters at the press conference kept staring at her and taking pictures.

If Xie Ruoxi were here, she would definitely explain to Yan Yu that this was called "fairy makeup." Unfortunately, the pretty loser was not there, and Yan Yu just thought it looked good. He sighed in his heart and reached for the fruit to eat.

"You didn't take off your makeup?" He asked casually while eating a grape.

"Let's take it off when we get home." Su Yunjin sat down beside his bed, supporting her body with her hands and elegantly raising one leg.

"Then what are you doing now?" Yan Yu asked in surprise.

Su Yunjin smiled slightly and asked:

"Captain, are you going to kick me out?"

Yan Yu thought to himself, I am not that despicable person as Chen Lingyun, of course I can't say "You can leave now that the fruit has been delivered", so I calmly changed the subject and said:
"Why should I chase you away? I just thought you had something to ask me."

"I do have something to ask the captain," Su Yunjin said, "I have some questions about how to combine Taoism and swordsmanship."

"Well, I see you've been practicing this recently." Yan Yu pondered silently.

In previous generations, there was no definitive textbook definition of how to combine Daoist magic with swordsmanship; each practitioner had their own unique understanding. For example, Zhou Hongyu was accustomed to randomly attacking with Daoist magic, only resorting to flying swords when his true essence ran low. Li Zhaojiang, on the other hand, used Daoist magic at long range and flying swords at medium and short distances.

But Su Yunjin's situation was different from theirs. While others' Daoist magic was powerful enough to deal heavy damage, and their flying swords were merely a supplementary offensive tool, Secretary Su's "Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art" was strong in control but weak in damage, so he needed swordsmanship to supplement his damage, especially when lacking team support.

Although Yan Yu does not practice Taoism, he was a top swordsman in his previous life, so he certainly has some understanding of swordsmanship.

"I can teach you, but it's not convenient to watch you demonstrate in the hotel." He said with a smile, "I'll teach you at the training ground after we return to school."

"It's okay, I recorded a training video." Su Yunjin took out his phone, "Do you want to take a look first?"

"Okay." Since the other party was so well prepared, Yan Yu agreed.

He leaned over to watch the video.

Judging from the video, Su Yunjin is already quite proficient in the secret arts of the Southern Dipper Galaxy, and her ability to control her true energy is very strong; in comparison, her sword-wielding skills are terrible, with both accuracy and strength being major issues.

But after careful analysis, we can't blame her, because after the target was hit by the Nandou Xinghe secret technique, the whole person was wrapped in chaotic water flow. If the flying sword wants to attack the target, it must also enter the water flow. The resistance and water thrust will affect the trajectory of the flying sword. In addition, her sword-wielding skills were not very good at this time, so it was reasonable that her performance was terrible.

Therefore, Su Yunjin's problem was that her Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art was not compatible with sword control. Although it was not completely incompatible with swordsmanship like Li Zhaojiang's Yuanci Divine Light, if she couldn't find a suitable solution, it would definitely affect her actual performance.

At times like this, I, the strongest person in the world, need to come up with a solution!
Yan Yu was thinking to himself when he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze approaching. It turned out to be Su Yunjin who was afraid that he couldn't see the video clearly, so she simply moved closer and put the phone in front of his eyes.

"Captain, look here." Although the distance between them was slightly ambiguous, Su Yunjin seemed completely oblivious. He simply stared intently at his phone and said, "Every time a flying sword cuts into the water, its speed and accuracy decrease significantly. However, if we reduce the output of true energy and slow the water flow, the control effect of the Taoist magic will be weakened. So, is there any good solution?"

She suddenly turned her head, her lips almost brushing against Yan Yu's face. A flash of panic crossed her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Yan Yu also felt that she was too close, and several ways to deal with it flashed through his mind:

Stay away from me calmly - No, that's too cowardly, and doesn't suit my reputation as the strongest person in the world.

Pretending to be nonchalant—that won’t work either, it’s too dull, like a fool who has never been in love.

He put his arm around her slender waist and smiled wickedly - even worse, it would be too easy for her! What if Secretary Su took the opportunity to throw herself at me?
Just as Yan Yu frowned in thought and Su Yunjin's heart was pounding, a voice suddenly rang out from outside. It was Chen Lingyun's voice:
"Yanyu, are you there?"

Su Yunjin was immediately horrified, feeling inexplicably guilty as if she had been caught cheating. She was about to find a place to hide when she heard Yan Yu shout:

"Yes. Yunjin is here too. What can I do for you?"

Su Yunjin's eyes widened immediately: No, why did you mention me, Captain!!!

"Open the door~" Chen Lingyun's voice turned sweeter, as if she had found some fun, and her tone became cheerful.

"Okay." Yan Yu stood up and opened the door for Chen Lingyun.

Chen Lingyun walked into the room. She had already removed her makeup. Seeing Su Yunjin sitting beside Yan Yu's bed, her makeup still delicate, she could not help but guess what had happened. She smiled and said,
"Did I disturb you?"

"No, Lingyun! We are just..." Su Yunjin was about to explain, but heard Yan Yu say:

"Yeah, now that you know, why don't you get out of here?"

"...We were just discussing cultivation." Su Yunjin finished his explanation weakly, feeling that he was being a bit unclear.

But Chen Lingyun didn't hold on to this, she just smiled and said:
"Guess what information I got?"

"Someone is secretly playing tricks on me, right?" Yan Yu said coldly, "I guessed it a long time ago."

"Previously, the higher-ups used the captured 'Thunderbird' Margaret as a bargaining chip for a number of things with Mitch," Chen Lingyun said leisurely. "One of those items was the 'Secret Realm Live Broadcast Technology.'"

"The Dingbei Army previously used a large number of camera drones to conduct suicide infiltration reconnaissance of the secret realm, and they sent back a lot of intelligence from within the secret realm."

"I see." Su Yunjin, who was standing nearby, also understood. "Did someone leak the information to the Flying Dragon Team?"

"They're guarding this area very strictly, so we can't get it from here." Chen Lingyun smiled faintly, "But I can confirm through clues that the Flying Dragon Team has obtained the information."

The intelligence that the drone can detect, namely the environment, terrain, restrictions, monsters, goalkeepers, etc. inside the secret realm, can of course bring great help to the Flying Dragon Team.

Forget about anything else. If someone starts by taking the fastest route to steal the goalkeeper, or finds a favorable position to ambush you, what would you do? Even if the whole process is live, as long as they say "I just happened to choose this route", there is no evidence to prove that they cheated!
Su Yunjin's brows furrowed, thinking this wasn't going to be good. The Flying Dragon Team was playing on home turf, having entered the secret realm first, so they already had the advantage of timing; and with the advance intelligence on the secret realm, they also had the advantage of location!

Yan Yu was not worried at all, but just sneered:

"Someone said online that 'cheating is a tradition of the Triwizard Tournament,' and I didn't expect them to actually be right. But so what? This time, we're going to show some people that the gap in absolute strength can't be overcome with little tricks or gimmicks."

"That's what I thought, too." Chen Lingyun smiled and said, "The reason the opponent uses off-board tactics is because there's no chance of winning on the board. Now that we know that, then..."

Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Yan Yu went over to open the door and saw that it was Cai Qianlong, the captain of the Feilong team - their team lived on the third floor and the Zhenhai team lived on the fifth floor. Why did this guy come up to our side?
"Excuse me." Cai Qianlong nodded to Yan Yu, and walked into the room with his head held high. Then he noticed Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin were also inside. He hesitated and turned around and asked awkwardly, "Did I interrupt you?"

"Is there anything you need?" Yan Yu was too lazy to explain to him and just closed the door.

"It's like this." Cai Qianlong's expression turned serious as he explained his purpose. "I originally wanted to have a thrilling duel with you, but unfortunately, complications arose. Someone is trying to use shady tactics to interfere with the outcome of this match."

"I can't say who it is. I've already discussed this with my teammates. If we use external forces to gain an advantage we shouldn't have, and still end up losing, wouldn't our faith in Taoism be shattered? As cultivators, we disdain such behavior. It's better to fight fairly. Even if we lose, it will be fair and square, with a clear conscience. The worst that can happen is that we'll just work hard to catch up with you!"

He reached into his pocket, took out a USB drive, and handed it over.

"All the information about the secret realm is in this! Read it and dispose of the USB drive. We're all on the same starting line. That's all I have to say. Don't ask any more questions."

Yan Yu looked at the USB flash drive in his hand and said with a smile:

"Although you're not as powerful as Master Jing, you do possess some of his pride. As for this intelligence, forget it. If we're also familiar with the terrain of the secret realm, and those behind the scenes notice something tomorrow, wouldn't they immediately suspect you?"

"So what?" Cai Qianlong asked proudly.

"Not so good." Yan Yu laughed, "There are some things you don't bother to do, and we are the same."

"We don't need this information. We'll still be able to crush you when we enter the secret realm tomorrow. That's what I mean."

Cai Qianlong was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud:

"Great! As expected of Yan Zhanlong, someone that even Liu Longtao is convinced of!"

He put the USB drive away and turned around and said:
"Tomorrow when we enter the secret realm, we won't try to steal the goalkeeper. Let's find a place to duel and let strength speak for itself!"
