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

Chapter 606 Xie Ruoxi wants to steal the house

It was unusually hot in Jinling Prefecture in early September this year, and people walking on the street were all wearing short sleeves.

Lin Ning, who had just returned to the team villa from the north, hurried to her room and changed into a sports vest and hot pants - although monks are immune to cold and heat and do not sweat, there is no need to forcibly change some living habits.

Yan Yu went to the school's training base to review the training of Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi.

Both of their new magic weapons are large-scale attacks, which cannot be used in the underground training ground of the villa, so they can only be moved to the large training ground of the school.

Zhao Yuanzhen's red lotus bowl covered his head, and then a large number of karmic fire red lotuses condensed out and flew towards Xie Ruoxi with a roar.

Xie Ruoxi raised the lightning cone and smashed it hard. A huge lightning snake and electric python burst out from the tip of the cone. It circled and swung its tail, then blasted all the approaching karma fire lotus.

Both were cultivators with incredibly powerful and abundant zhenyuan, and their magical weapons were top-tier. They now unleashed their full might against each other, their attacks overwhelming the heavens. Infernal fire, poisonous flames, lightning, and thunder roared, crisscrossing the earth, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to crack, without a moment's pause.

Yan Yu stood alone outside the field, watching the two fight with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy and speechless.

It’s rough, the technique is really rough!
The fight between these two silly girls is completely devoid of skill. It's like you unleash a Kamehameha, then I unleash a Kamehameha, and the two energy balls collide with each other. Whoever runs out of energy first loses... So what's the point of fighting then? It's better to just report your cultivation qualifications. Those with lower qualifications will just admit defeat!
But let's be honest, this kind of wide-range ultimate attack doesn't really leave much room for skill. Accuracy? Not necessary, just a rough shot will do. Positioning? It doesn't matter; that's the opponent's concern.

The only drawback is that the ultimate move consumes a terrifying amount of energy, making it impossible for you to use it continuously.

Yan Yu looked at the field again and saw Zhao Yuanzhen take the lead in withdrawing his hand and putting away the Red Lotus Bowl. He asked:
"How much true energy do you have left?"

Xie Ruoxi also put away the lightning cone and answered honestly:

"There's still half."

Damn it! Zhao Yuanzhen secretly cried in his heart, but my true energy is only 30% left. Doesn’t this mean that if I continue to fight, I will lose to Ruoxi?
No, no, it must be that my Red Lotus Bowl consumes too much True Energy, far less than her Lightning Cone! This broken bowl, sooner or later, I will replace you, let the little thief find me a better one!
As usual, the two came to Yan Yu and prepared to listen to his tactical comments.

"Well played." Yan Yu said.

Xie Ruoxi widened her eyes, Zhao Yuanzhen frowned slightly, and could not help but say:
"If you have any questions, just tell us directly. There's no need to be sarcastic with us."

Yan Yu's eyes twitched for a moment, and he quickly pinched the witch's face with his right hand. He showed a gentle and kind smile and said word by word:

"No, just kidding."

"Ah, ah, ah, gurgle gurgle gurgle!" Zhao Yuanzhen, whose cheeks were pinched, had tears in the corners of his eyes and spoke a lot of vague grunts, which was completely incomprehensible.

Xie Ruoxi translated for her and said:
"Just tell me what you want to change, don't beat around the bush."

"There's really nothing to improve." Yan Yu put away his right hand, crossed his chest and said, "It's just a boring ultimate move. It consumes so much energy to launch it. The enemy will die if they can't catch it. There's no technical content at all."

"Captain, you're making me panic!" Xie Ruoxi shouted immediately, "What if the enemy catches it?"

"That means you're dead." Yan Yu said as a matter of course, "Even your ultimate attack won't work. The enemy's strength has already crushed you."

"Captain, please teach me how to defeat the strong with the weak!" Xie Ruoxi said solemnly.

Yan Yu looked at her in surprise, wondering when did this pretty loser finally come to his senses?

That’s right, you can defeat enemies that can be directly crushed by your ultimate move even without using it; and those strong ones that you cannot defeat, you cannot defeat even with using your ultimate move... What’s the point of using the ultimate move then?

If you want to maximize your strength, you should not study the ultimate move itself, but try to integrate it into your own tactical system to play a decisive role at the critical moment.

"Every extra second you activate your Lightning Cone magic weapon consumes a huge amount of True Energy," Yan Yu instructed her calmly, "so the duration of a single activation should be as short as possible."

"But if the triggering time is too short, then the Thunder Dragon's existence will also be short." Xie Ruoxi asked in confusion, "Won't the lethality be reduced?"

"Do you have a brain?" Yan Yu said contemptuously, "The longer a single initiation lasts, the more vital energy is consumed, the less vital energy is left, and the shorter the next initiation time is, the more the lethality is weakened. So the longer the initiation time, the weaker the lethality. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Xie Ruoxi didn't think twice, with a pure expression of "whatever you say is what it is" on her face. "Try to single-shot, don't output continuously!"

"That's right." Yan Yu continued, "Don't control the Thunder Dragon to do fancy sweeping or circling moves. Every extra second it exists is a huge waste of true energy. Just treat the Thunder Dragon as a thunder spell. The moment it condenses, rush towards the enemy. If it hits, it hits. If it misses, it will be destroyed directly. In any case, you won't waste too much true energy."

"Based on this, consider how to use this ultimate move to achieve your tactical goals. Think of Thunder Dragon as a super-powered thunder spell, a bomb in your hand. You need to think about how to use this bomb at the most appropriate time, understand?"

"I think I understand!" Xie Ruoxi mustered up her courage and took Yan Yu's hand. "Captain, I have a few ideas. Can you help me see if they're feasible?"

She pulled Yan Yu aside to discuss. Zhao Yuanzhen stood there, suddenly feeling inexplicably unhappy.

It's strange. Ruoxi was just discussing tactics with the captain, so why am I unhappy?

It must be the thief’s fault!
She calmly followed with her hands behind her back, and saw Yan Yu explaining to Xie Ruoxi:

"...You use thunder magic to force the enemy into a corner, then summon a thunder dragon to attack. This is indeed a feasible idea. But what if it is in an open area? What if the enemy is very mobile, such as being able to flash and teleport?"

"Then we need to predict the enemy's next position change." Xie Ruoxi had played the game before, so she immediately offered her opinion.

"That's right, but that's too difficult for you." Yan Yu said, "In-game enemies will be given hints about their flaws and weaknesses, otherwise players will sue the developers. But in real life, no one will give you hints. Instead, they will do everything they can to hide their tactical trump cards. This requires you to have sufficient combat experience..."

Xie Ruoxi nodded to indicate that she was memorizing, while looking at Yan Yu seriously, blinking her eyes very cutely. But in Zhao Yuanzhen's sight, she had a strange feeling that something that should have belonged to her was being stolen by her best friend.

No, I can't stand it!

"What about me?" She grabbed Yan Yu's shoulders and forced him to face her.

"Don't touch me!" Yan Yu slapped her hand away in disgust. "Practice more, think more, learn more!"

"Why were you so perfunctory in explaining things to Ruoxi?" The witch finally found a place to lose her temper and immediately started to rant wildly.

"Nonsense! Everyone else has started to use their brains, and you're still here being jealous!"

"I'm not jealous, I'm..." Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly had an idea, "I'm asking you to treat us equally!" Yan Yu:???
What is this Demon Sect Zhao Ning? Who are you?

"In short, you have to explain my Red Lotus Bowl in detail. Don't try to fool me by saying you read and learn too much!" Zhao Yuanzhen said angrily, crossing his arms across his chest.

The huge hatred in her heart could not be suppressed even with her arms folded, so Yan Yu could no longer ignore it and gave her some guidance:
"Your problem is actually similar to Ruoxi's. You use your ultimate skills too frequently, but they don't lead to any success. It's just a pure waste of energy."

"The Karma Fire Lotus is born by activating the alms bowl, and the amount of True Essence consumed by each one is fixed. If you use it for attack, it will be destroyed if it is hit. If you use it for defense, the enemy will have to be constantly on guard against the lotus suddenly shifting into an offensive posture. Isn't this distraction of the mind a better option?"

"You mean, after summoning the red lotus, you won't take the initiative to attack?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked hesitantly.

"I knew you weren't smart enough to understand what I was saying," Yan Yu said disdainfully. "I meant for you to cheat, sneak attack, and act unethically! Don't just start attacking with the Karma Fire Lotus. Your attack is too direct and easily seen through. Can you learn some more tricks and schemes from Chen Lingyun?"

"Tsk, do I need to learn conspiracy and tricks from her?" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately perked up.

I'm a demon girl from a wicked sect! When it comes to scheming against the enemy on the battlefield, who could be better than me?

However, the calculation that Yan Yu mentioned was not the kind of intrigue she imagined, but just a simple psychological game... Let's not talk about this for now, because it was time for dinner and the witch started to want to eat again.

They couldn't go to the school cafeteria. After all, there were a lot of Yan Yu fans in the Zhendong Army. Seeing him was like a fanatical fan seeing an idol. So the three of them flew out of the campus on their swords and flew directly back to the villa.

Lin Ning had already prepared the food at home, filling the entire table. Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel hungry, so he picked up a piece of vinegar meat and put it in his mouth.

"Ahhhh! Sister Zhao!" Lin Ning rushed over, screaming and pushing her back, "Wash your hands! Go wash your hands first!"

"I'm a monk and I'm not afraid of germs!"

"Then don't eat the dust on your hands!"

Watching the two chasing and playing, Yan Yu yawned lazily, and suddenly noticed that Xie Ruoxi beside him seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What's wrong, Ruoxi?"

"Nothing." Xie Ruoxi shook her head. "I just miss Lingyun and Yunjin a little bit... I always feel that the dinner table is a little lonely without them."

Yan Yu also fell silent after hearing this.

Was it deserted? Of course, with six people now four, the decrease in numbers was obvious.

But there is no way around it. As the strength of the team's monks increases, the team's system of joint action will become increasingly incompatible with actual needs.

For example, Zhao Yuanzhen's Red Lotus Bowl and Xie Ruoxi's Lightning Cone, each of which is capable of destroying the world, so when the leader sees them, he will naturally wonder: Why is it necessary to bring two such powerful people together and make them become close friends?

The power of a single person is limited, so a team is needed to increase survival rates. However, once a single person can master the magical power of controlling the heavens and the earth, forming a team will become unsafe - and this is not about external forces, but internal forces.

At this point in the previous life, without Yan Yu's forward-looking intervention and training, Xie Ruoxi would have just started live streaming as a suit, and Zhao Yuanzhen would have been competing with sorcerers for the secret realm in southern Xinjiang. Neither of them was doing very well, let alone other cultivators.

Now, one of them has transformed into the Immortal Lord Thunder and the other has transformed into the Demon Lord Red Lotus Fire. Their strength is a world apart from that in their previous lives. Therefore, from the above perspective, the overall assessment of the strength of the cultivators will also increase.

Perhaps the time when the team system will completely collapse will be much earlier than in the previous life.

Yan Yu was thinking this in his mind, when he suddenly noticed that no one had eaten, but was just looking at him strangely.

"What's wrong?" Yan Yu asked, "Is there food on my face?"

"No." Lin Ning hesitated, "Captain, the expression on your face just now..."

"Sad," Zhao Yuanzhen commented, hitting the nail on the head. "It's that kind of sad expression where 'the past cannot be changed, and the future cannot be brought back.'"

"Come on." Yan Yu immediately said contemptuously, "How could I be sentimental? You guys are probably blinded by the steam from the tomato and egg soup."

"Really?" Lin Ning exclaimed, "If you don't believe me, ask Ruoxi."

"I didn't see it." Xie Ruoxi smiled softly, "The captain always has that tough, cool, serious expression. You must have seen it wrong."

Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen immediately widened their eyes, unable to believe that she would actually say such a thing.

Ruoxi, you betrayed us!

"That's right, Ruoxi is honest." Yan Yu immediately laughed out loud. "You two still want to collude to deceive me? Three people make a tiger, right? You dare to use such old tricks on stage? I'm dying of laughter."

"I always tell the truth." Xie Ruoxi said obediently.

Sorry, Ningning, Sister Zhao! While there are the fewest competitors now, I'm going to start my campaign to capture the captain!

Although the dinner table seemed a little deserted due to Yunjin and Lingyun's absence, the food was still delicious and everyone enjoyed it very much.

After eating and drinking, Lin Ning went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Zhao Yuanzhen sat on the sofa in the living room and picked up a bucket of biscuits as a dessert to help digest the food.

Xie Ruoxi's eyes moved around, making sure that neither of them was paying attention to them.

This was the advantage of having fewer people. If there were more people, one or two people would happen to see you when you spoke to the captain, but now that only Ning Ning and Sister Zhao were there, it was much easier to seize the opportunity.

Yan Yu was standing at the stairs looking at his phone, so she quietly walked up to him and said softly:
"Captain, I have a question about cultivation that I'd like to ask you..."

"Just say it directly." Yan Yu said.

"No, no." Xie Ruoxi shook her head like a rattle. She was afraid that Lin Ning would suddenly come out of the kitchen, or that Zhao Yuanzhen would turn around and call her to come over for snacks, so she quickly grabbed Yan Yu and walked up the stairs.

"My room is very big, let's talk in my room!"
