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

Chapter 468: Yanyu Brand Combat Power Detector
Zhao Yuanzhen's strengths lie in his combat experience and extremely quick on-the-spot reaction.

After all, she was born in the Demon Sect, where there were conflicts between the strong and the weak, so it was natural that she had rich experience in fighting.

As for the so-called on-the-spot reaction, it was not the reaction speed that Lin Ning was best at, but a kind of acquired combat intuition - for example, if an unexpected enemy suddenly attacked, Lin Ning would react faster, but by the time she figured out how to fight back, Zhao Yuanzhen had already taken action.

When encountering danger, he can counterattack without thinking at the first moment. This is Zhao Yuanzhen’s greatest advantage.

However, it is also her flaw.

Because she prioritizes immediate action, the Demonic Gate Siren's attacks often lack sufficient depth of thought, resulting in a somewhat three-pronged attack: the first strike is fierce, the second is powerful, and the third is difficult to block. And then, huh? It seems no more than that.

If this continues, those whom she cannot defeat now will not have any chance of winning in the future; and those whom she can defeat now may not be able to defeat her in the future as their attacks become familiar and understood.

Yan Yu had pointed out this problem of hers sometime last year.

However, it was useless. Zhao Yuanzhen was the type who relied entirely on instinct to fight, and her ability to self-learn was astonishingly poor. It wasn't like "you tell her to do something and she'll do it immediately."

Fortunately, the fighting strength of the Demon Sect witch is there, which is enough to deal with most opponents at this stage, so Yan Yu is not in a hurry to force her over immediately.

Let her know how powerful I am first!
Zhao Yuanzhen had no idea that he was harboring evil intentions, and only thought to himself, if this little thief doesn't need the Fenyun Bagua Step, then I'm going to beat him to a pulp, right?

Haha, let’s fight!
She activated her magic of speed and rushed towards Yan Yu. The Yinfeng Sword flew out of her hand, three times faster than hers, aiming at Yan Yu's abdomen.

In actual combat, this flying sword would usually go for the head, so that the opponent would see the weapon hitting his body with his own eyes, and would easily reveal his flaws in panic... But Yan Yu was a cunning thief and would definitely not be fooled, so there was no need for that.

Look at the sword!

Yan Yu said that there was no need to use the Fenyun Bagua Step, but simply stood still. He pinched the sword gesture with his left hand, and the Liangyi Sword shot out like lightning, quickly intercepting the Yinfeng Sword.

The two swords exchanged attack and defense for a moment. Seeing that he could not break through, Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly raised his right hand and hit him on the head with the Bone Locking Heart Hammer.

Yan Yu remained calm and composed. He used his right hand to execute a sword gesture, controlling the Huangting Sword and easily intercepting the witch's hammer. At the same time, he quietly raised two fingers of his left hand and pointed them forward stealthily.

Zhao Yuanzhen was about to attack again when suddenly a burst of energy hit his chest, as if someone pushed him hard. He staggered back a few steps before he could barely steady himself, gasping for breath.

"You lost." Yan Yu put his hands behind his back and said lightly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

In order to avoid injuring the witch, he only used 20% of his strength in this charge spell. Logically, it should be at the level of "very painful but not harmful", but she seemed to be fine... Oh, this witch has fat as a cushion, so he can't aim at her chest.

Zhao Yuanzhen was hit with a curse and knew that he had indeed lost. He could not help but say angrily:

"When did you use the flushing spell? Why didn't I see it?"

Yan Yu did not explain, but just raised the Huangting Sword again, making a gesture to block the White Bone Locking Heart Hammer, while putting together the index and middle fingers of his left hand.

When Zhao Yuanzhen saw him raise his sword again, he was so scared that he almost dodged to the side, and then he suddenly reacted.

It turned out that the location where the Huangting Sword intercepted the White Bone Locking Heart Hammer was right in the middle of the line connecting the two people, blocking her view of Yan Yu.

"Is this what you think is good?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked.

"No." Yan Yu said deliberately, "It's just right."

"I haven't told you what it is yet!" Zhao Yuanzhen said angrily. The demon sect demon girl's suspicious nature flared up, and she became more and more certain that this was all planned by Yan Yu. "He actually deliberately covered up the hand seals! Despicable! Cunning! Shameless!"

"The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. What's the moral difference?" Yan Yu said with a smile, "Put away your pitiful look like a defeated dog. Do you want to fight or not? I'll give you another chance."

Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to hold a grudge, and when he heard the second half of his words, he immediately gritted his teeth and yelled:
"beat!"

I'll fight you!
Chen Lingyun watched Sister Zhao being ravaged by Yan Yu and was secretly surprised.

During normal team sparring, Yan Yu always defeated everyone fairly and without resorting to such tricks. He'd use flying swords to blind people, sneak attacks from behind... The most outrageous one was when he used the Huangting Sword to send the White Bone Locking Heart Hammer flying backwards, hitting Zhao Yuanzhen, who hadn't reacted yet, leaving a large bruise on her face.

"I won't fight anymore!" The demon sect witch finally surrendered, sat down on the ground, and shouted, "You only know how to use such petty tricks to bully me!"

"Although they are just small tricks, if used at the right time and in the right place, they can be very effective," Yan Yu said meaningfully. Zhao Yuanzhen was startled when he heard this, and suddenly an idea struck him, and he began to ponder and speculate secretly.

Her fighting style is both utilitarian and impatient. If she were asked to practice basic skills like Lin Ning, such as practicing the four major sword styles a thousand times a day, she would definitely not be able to endure the boredom.

But little tricks like this one for sneak attacks, which didn't require repeated training to improve proficiency, could be used as soon as they were learned, and it just suited her temperament.

Humph, I want to learn it secretly!

The two practiced against each other several times. Seeing that Zhao Yuanzhen was indeed secretly learning his little tricks, Yan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little helpless.

The demon girl from the Demon Sect has a strange temper. The harder you try to teach her, the more she refuses to practice. As a result, now you can only sneak good things into her through actual combat - but she is willing to work hard to learn instead.

You are such a jerk! I teach you openly and honestly, but you refuse to learn; I beat you up, but you still want to learn secretly!

Forget it, just think of it as cultivating her flexible thinking, so that she won't just use the three tricks of fierce attack, strong attack and quick attack all day long without even knowing how to change the basic moves.

After severely torturing Zhao Yuanzhen, Yan Yu finally felt satisfied as the afternoon was almost over. He clapped his hands and shouted:
"Okay! Call it a day!"

He turned to check on the other teammates. Lin Ning had been hit three times by Su Yunjin, and happily qualified for late-night extra training. Xie Ruoxi's true energy had been depleted, and she also looked like she was practicing hard. He would test her accuracy again in a couple of days.

Everyone set out to leave the school, preparing to go home to rest for a while, have dinner, and then ask Lin Ning to go back to school for more practice.

Lin Ning finally came to her senses at this time, thinking that if I make a mistake once, it will be extra training, and if I don’t make any mistakes throughout the whole process, it will be extra training for Yunjin. Isn’t this obviously bullying me?

But the words had already been spoken, and she didn't feel like protesting anymore. She just cooked in a depressed mood.

While eating, Xie Ruoxi casually asked:
"Captain, you said our strength has regressed since we returned from the New Year holiday. How does that compare to the Fire Phoenix Team?"

"Whether they've regressed or not, I can't say for sure." Yan Yu said as he put food into his bowl, "Then I'll evaluate the strength of both sides, using Ningning as the benchmark..."

"Why do you use me as the benchmark?" Lin Ning protested immediately, but Yan Yu ignored her completely:

"Sister Zhao's rating is probably 1.2 Ning, and her overall strength is slightly stronger than Ning Ning. If Ruoxi can solve her accuracy problem, her lightning damage can reach around 1.4 Ning. However, the simulated competition will probably ban lightning, and if she only uses sword control, her rating will only be 0.7 Ning, because your swordsmanship is too poor!"

"Yunjin 0.6 Lemon, Lingyun 0.4 Lemon. Your responsibilities in the team are mainly support, assistance, control and reconnaissance. It doesn't matter if you can't compare to Ning Ning. In the future, you can maintain 0.7 Lemon. It's enough."

"As for the Fire Phoenix team, as of the last time I watched their live match, I estimated Zhou Hongyu's average was 1.3 lemons, Qin Meng's was 0.9 lemons, and Zhang Huaide's was 0.7 lemons. Tang Xiaolian and Meng Qingxi are both support professions, so their averages are estimated to be around 0.5 lemons, similar to Lingyun. Hou Qing hasn't seen them, so I don't know for sure."

"I told you not to use me as a powerful unit!" Lin Ning continued to protest.

"So, our average strength is actually stronger than the Fire Phoenix Team." Su Yunjin pondered, "However, in actual combat, it's not just about individual strength, right?"

"That's right." Yan Yu nodded and said, "For example, if Ning Ning accidentally got separated from the team and was hit by Zhou Hongyu's spell, we would lose one Ning Ning and immediately fall into a disadvantage."

"So why am I the one being sent away again..." Lin Ning paused, then suddenly asked curiously, "What about you?"

"What do you mean by myself?" Yan Yu asked.

"How many are you..." Lin Ning was a little embarrassed to speak, "How many?"

"Infinity." Yan Yu said seriously.

"You're crazy!" Lin Ning cursed, "Stop talking nonsense and eat your shrimp!"

She picked up a prawn and threw it into Yan Yu's bowl in annoyance.

Su Yunjin was watching from the side, feeling eager to try: I want to pick up some food for the captain too!

Yan Yu slowly ate the prawns that Lin Ning threw to him. After a moment of hesitation, he suddenly said to Lin Ning:
"Practice well at school tonight. I'll come over secretly to give you some private lessons at 10 pm."

"Hmph." Lin Ning still looked a little angry, but soon lost her temper and became secretly happy.
