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

Chapter 499 New Version is Coming

So what did Chen Lingyun say to Zhang Jin?
For several days after Zhang Jin, who was in charge of psychological diagnosis, finished his work and left, Yan Yu had a strong and inexplicable premonition:

I always feel like this scumbag woman is doing something behind my back.

However, I have no evidence, and asking her will definitely not yield any results, so I can only observe carefully for the time being and wait for her to reveal her flaws.

A few days later, another piece of news came:

Li Minghu was discharged from the hospital.

The Valkyrie now seemed to be suffering from some kind of corruption. Her health bar would constantly decrease over time, requiring frequent visits to the hospital for replenishment. While that might sound a bit exaggerated, it was the reality. After consultation and research, a team of experts from the Xingwangfu Medical University and Pingjing had developed a method similar to Zhenyuan dialysis that could temporarily alleviate the imbalance of the five elements in her body.

As long as he didn't use his True Essence in combat and focused on recuperating in the hospital, he could slowly restore the imbalance of the Five Elements. On the other hand, if he actively participated in various battles after being discharged, frequently mobilizing and using his True Essence, his physical condition would deteriorate, and he would soon have to return to the hospital for treatment and recuperation.

Although it is only a temporary solution and not a cure, at least a treatment method has been found. Li Zhaojiang even went to the large group of monks and sent out dozens of red envelopes to celebrate.

Everyone in the group is a monk who earns tens of millions a year. They are like workers, frantically grabbing red envelopes and sending expressions to thank their bosses.

"666." Yan Yu typed.

There was another stream of people praising the gods below, but Li Zhaojiang was not polite and replied directly:
"6 what 6? If you have the guts, don't steal my red envelope."

"One red envelope is only 200 yuan." Yan Yu laughed at him, "If you divide it equally among everyone in the group, there's not even 1 yuan left. You're so generous."

"If you have the ability, ask the platform to change the upper limit of the red envelope amount!" Li Zhaojiang complained.

He was arguing with Yan Yu in the group, but the other side sent him a private message:
"Old Yan, please help me. Let's arrange a match between us and the Longxiong team next week. Please help me find a sure-win strategy."

"What's a surefire way to win?" Yan Yu said. "Old Liu will definitely be the first one to attack from the start. Why don't you send five people to the field and kill him right from the start?"

"My sister thinks so too," Li Zhaojiang typed. "The problem is, last time the Fire Phoenix team also tried to use the decapitation tactic, but you managed to manipulate the entire team. There's no guarantee Old Liu won't pull the same old trick again and come up with some shady plan to deal with us."

"How did that count as a dirty trick?" Yan Yu asked him back, "There were six of them attacking me, and I just turned around and ran. How did that count as a dirty trick?"

"If you were simply wandering off to avoid the spotlight, that would be fine," Li Zhaojiang typed. "You deliberately unleashed your inner demons, allowing the Fire Phoenix Team to suffer a first-person kill. Isn't that a shady trick? It got me arrested for a psychological examination, and they even said I have 'Oedipus tendencies'... What the hell! Liking older women is Oedipus tendencies? Then does liking younger women mean everyone should be arrested as a pedophile?"

"Go explain to the Annan army." Yan Yu sneered, "You can handle the competition yourself. My dirty tricks are not worthy of helping you."

"No, Lao Yan!" Li Zhaojiang quickly changed his tone, "For my sister's sake... Wait, didn't my sister just get out of the hospital? She hasn't fully recovered yet. You don't want to see her health affected by the competition, right?"

Yanyu:? ? ?
You're the one who's been threatening others! I never thought that this time, you, my brother-in-law, would bring up your sister to threaten me!

"By the way," he suddenly asked, "Who is your new sixth recruit?"

"Oh, his name is Xu Jin. Have you heard of him?" Li Zhaojiang replied.

"Female?" Yan Yu asked.

"Damn it, Old Yan, you really are the biggest pervert in the world!" Li Zhaojiang replied after a long pause, "You can smell a woman's scent just by hearing her name, right?"

"Shut up, I was just guessing." Yan Yu typed against his will.

Actually, it wasn't a guess. Xu Jin was a late bloomer, having survived the Annan Army's purge in his previous life and ultimately been promoted to Xie Ruoxi's vice-captain. His swordsmanship was decent, slightly better than Zhang Huaide's, but lacked any unique characteristics. Yan Yu's vision was truly exceptional. Many cultivators within the Four Armies, like Cai Qianlong, were top students who could score 90 points in every aspect. However, Yan Yu only gave them a "mediocre" rating—at least one of them had to achieve a perfect score or even exceed it to leave a lasting impression in his memory, like Xie Ruoxi's cultivation talent.

In his previous life, Xu Jin was able to become Xie Ruoxi's deputy captain, so his swordsmanship level was naturally not bad. However, he was no match for Lin Ning in terms of reaction, no match for Li Minghu in terms of calculation, and no match for Liu Longtao in terms of talent. In Yan Yu's opinion, there was really no need to pay too much attention to him.

"Train him well," Yan Yu instructed Li Zhaojiang by typing, "Rather than focusing on the outcome of the competition, quickly train this sixth man. If your sister ends up in the hospital again for some reason, at least your team won't be unable to go on a mission."

"My sister is personally teaching her swordsmanship now," Li Zhaojiang replied quickly. "When she grows up, with Jiang Hong added to the team, our team will have a lineup of three sword masters."

"Three Sword Immortals isn't that easy?" Yan Yu typed. "If you want, you can form a team of six Sword Immortals, and everyone can fly and slash at the enemy at the start."

"And if you can't take it down, you'll be killed by the enemy, right?" Li Zhaojiang replied.

"Yes, the key is not the profession, but the person."

"When Xu Jin is brought to Jinling someday, please help me plan how to improve my swordsmanship." Li Zhaojiang had just sent a message when another one followed, "No, you pervert, you only harm decent women. You can't let her see you offline. I'll send you a video of her swordsmanship later."

"Your sister is already teaching, so there's no need to ask me again." Yan Yu said, "If your sister and I give you two different methods for the same sword technique, whose will you ask her to follow?"

"That must be what you heard." Li Zhaojiang said without hesitation.

"Do you know who's right?" Yan Yu laughed. "One training method is more suitable for her, but her upper limit is not far; the other is difficult to train, but has better development prospects. Which one is right?"

"It definitely depends on the upper limit." Li Zhaojiang replied.

"What if she practices and finds that she really can't do it, and her strength decreases and her performance is not good? What will you do?" Yan Yu asked.

Li Zhaojiang was silent for a long time, then suddenly sent a message:
"You're right. We shouldn't let you give us instructions. What if you do something bad in secret and cause her strength to decrease? We won't be able to see it."

"That's what I'm saying." Yan Yu knew he was joking. "Whoever teaches her is responsible for her. I'm the captain of the Zhenhai Squadron, so I can't be responsible for her. Are you sure you want me to teach her?"

"But if it doesn't involve issues of fundamental direction, such as some small details of sword moves, then I can still ask you, right?" Li Zhaojiang asked again.

"Of course you can," Yan Yu replied, "but I suggest you ask your sister first. If she's not sure, then come back to me."

"After all this time, you're still planning on hitting on my sister!"

The two men were skillfully teasing each other when suddenly their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

"Did you notice?" Li Zhaojiang sent a message.

"Yeah." Yan Yu threw his phone aside. As soon as he pushed the door open and left the bedroom, he saw Su Yunjin running up hurriedly with a panicked expression:

"team leader!"

"Don't worry." Yan Yu pondered for a moment and looked out the window.

"The upper limit of spiritual energy concentration has been raised again."
