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

Chapter 636 I should have gone to Zhenhai Team

Yan Yu woke up feeling very uncomfortable.

As soon as I woke up, I felt someone grabbing my upper and lower body tightly.

Looking more closely, he found that it was Yun Jin who had come at some point and was sleeping on his right side, hugging his upper body tightly.

Ning Ning was still lying on the left. This sister had a habit of holding hands with others when sleeping. But Yan Yu's upper body was in Yun Jin's arms, so maybe he couldn't touch his hand, so...

Alas, it’s all because of the youthful vigor in the early morning!
Yan Yu carefully pushed Yun Jin's arms away, and pried open Lin Ning's fingers one by one. Only then did he finally break free from the two girls' embrace and sat up to change his clothes.

I had just taken off my pajamas when someone broke in through the wall.

"Yanyu." Zhao Yuanzhen came in and asked, "Have you seen Ningning? Breakfast isn't ready yet... Oh?"

Her eyes fell on Yunjin and Ningning who were sleeping soundly on either side of her, and she showed an angry expression as if asking, "Why do you have a bed partner every day?"

"Why didn't you knock when you came in?" Yan Yu carefully stepped over Lin Ning's body, got off the bed, and buttoned up his clothes.

"They came in through the wall, why should I knock on the door?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked coldly, "Tell me, how did Ningning and Yunjin end up in your bed?"

"Because I'm handsome." Yan Yu answered calmly, "They couldn't control themselves. It's not their fault. If you want to blame someone, blame God for giving me such a handsome face..."

"Then I can't control myself!" Zhao Yuanzhen was immediately furious. He jumped up and used a trick to catch a big fish in his arms, and then stuck Yan Yu's head under his armpits. "Go! Go cook for me!"

"Stop pinching! My neck's going to break!"

"I'll pinch you to death!"

Yan Yu was dragged away by Zhao Yuanzhen. As the door slammed shut, Lin Ning let out a long breath and opened her eyes.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Yun Jin had stood up at some point and was looking at her silently.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

"You're here." Ningning said.

"I'm here." Yun Jin said.

"You shouldn't have come." Ningning said.

"But I still came." Yun Jin said.

"You're too impatient." Ning Ning said.

"You are scared." Yun Jin said.

"I don't want to be left behind by you." Ningning said.

"I must defeat you." Yun Jin said.

"Then I wish you all the best." Ningning said.

"Then I wish all your wishes come true." Yun Jin said.

Although the two did not speak, their eye contact probably conveyed this meaning. Then Ning Ning spoke out:
"I should get up and make breakfast."

"I'll help you later." Yun Jin said with a smile.

The two of them climbed out of bed and went back to their rooms to change clothes silently without saying a word about the matter.

----------

Shortly after breakfast, the Fire Phoenix Team came to visit officially and wanted to practice with the Zhenhai Team at the academy's training ground.

"Good morning, Captain Yan." Tang Xiaolian was the first to greet Yan Yu.

Zhou Hongyu behind her narrowed her eyes but didn't say much - at least in front of everyone in her own team, she was still the cold and majestic captain who didn't say a word to anyone.

"Good morning." Yan Yu nodded to Tang Xiaolian, then confirmed with Zhang Huaide and asked, "You are all four of you at the Huafu level now, right?"

"We're still missing Qingxi and Xiaohou." Zhang Huaide nodded and said, "They should be able to be promoted within this week, so bring them over to see the battle at the Huafu level."

"No problem." Yan Yu certainly didn't have to split up the other team. He continued, "Regarding sparring, Lingyun and I have come up with a plan. Let me hear your opinion first..."

In the Transformation Palace stage, the dominant position of the Sword Immortal class has been slightly weakened, while the primary strength has been strengthened for the Magic Cultivator. At the initial stage of the Purple Palace, both the capacity and strength of True Essence are significantly increased, allowing the Magic Cultivator to begin to shift from being a turret to a bomber. Therefore, leveraging the advantages of powerful Dao and Magic is the key to this team's training.

"For now, let Captain Zhou's Great Bright Flame deal with Yun Jin's Galaxy Secret Technique," Yan Yu said. "She needs to transition from restricting attacks to attacking them. She's a junior in this area, so she still needs to learn from Captain Zhou."

"As for Ruoxi, her thunder technique is too dangerous, so we'll need to borrow Qin Meng, your team's best defender. I'll instruct Ruoxi to control her true energy, and the school's medical team will be here shortly."

"Makes sense." Zhang Huaide said, "What else?"

"Lingyun is a lord cultivator, so let her practice against Xiaolian." Yan Yu continued, "Ghost summons versus insect summons, the number of summons is about the same, they can practice battlefield command and troop deployment. As for Yuanzhen, I hope you can be her sparring partner."

"I'm going to deal with Zhao Yuanzhen?" Zhang Huaide was quite surprised. "Does Captain Yan overestimate my swordsmanship?"

"Parametric training isn't a fight. Winning or losing doesn't matter. What matters is whether she can improve in certain areas." Yan Yu said with a smile, "She's best at attacking, but this time I'll ask her to focus on defense. Xiao Zhang, help me find the loopholes in her defense."

"I'll try my best." Zhang Huaide gently lifted the frame of his glasses. "Then Lin Ning..."

"I'll practice with her," Yan Yu said. "No one knows how to train a sword master better than me."

"Well, that's it." Zhang Huaide nodded.

He decided to secretly observe the fight between Yan Yu and Lin Ning while practicing with Zhao Yuanzhen.

So everyone started practicing as planned.

Meng Qingxi and Hou Qing, still at the Marrow Cleansing Stage and yet to advance, sat nearby, watching. While relaxed, they weren't idle, as Zhang Huaide had assigned them a task: to focus on observing the Zhenhai team's combat methods after they reached the Huafu Stage. This would provide a basis for adjusting their own team's training plan.

I saw that the training ground on the far left was where Zhou Hongyu and Su Yunjin were fighting, and the momentum was already quite huge.

Zhou Hongyu exhaled a great radiant flame, rapidly igniting a sea of fire around him. Su Yunjin activated a Daoist technique, enveloping the sea of fire with the water of the Heavenly River from the outside, then violently squeezing it inwards.

Water and fire collide, true essences collide, heat waves and steam surge and stack up, as if Gonggong in ancient times fought Zhurong, and every move he made had the power to destroy the world.

"No way!" Hou Qing exclaimed, "Captain Zhou is actually at a disadvantage?"

Meng Qingxi watched for a long time, confirming that Captain Zhou was indeed focusing on defense, and suddenly found it hard to believe his own eyes. The two of them stared at each other for a long time before they could barely figure out the reason:

Zhou Hongyu's Great Light Fire was sprayed out from his mouth and nose, and it took some time to reach the designated location; Su Yunjin's Tianhe Water was summoned directly from a specific location out of thin air.

It's like two people playing chess. Zhou Hongyu is playing auto chess, while Su Yunjin is playing Go. It goes without saying who is better at chasing and intercepting.

Now it was just a sparring match, not a life-and-death fight. Zhou Hongyu couldn't use all his true energy to attack Su Yunjin. He could only suppress his irritation and continue to spit out the Great Bright Flame, trying to break through the encirclement of the Tianhe Water. But secretly he thought:
Even though you are calm and composed now, if you knew the close relationship between your captain and me, who knows how furious and defensive you would be!
snort!
Thinking of this point, I won the game mentally, so I could be patient and continue to fight with the opponent with magic.

Yun Jin has the upper hand in training ground No. 1, but Xie Ruoxi is completely helpless in training ground No. 2.

Qin Meng, who was practicing against her, activated the Dragon Elephant Nirvana Divine Art. He ran as fast as a dragon soaring into the clouds, turned around like a fierce elephant stepping, and his body defense was directly maximized, ready to take on Xie Ruoxi's thunder magic at any time.

Then he found that the other party couldn't hit him at all.

Xie Ruoxi was so anxious that she flung the lightning bolts around in her hands. Unfortunately, Qin Meng was a physical cultivator, his physique built to be incredibly strong, and he could run incredibly fast just by using his leg muscles. Furthermore, the training ground was an open space, giving the opponent many options for movement. Consequently, she hadn't been able to hit him even once.

Damn it! Can you run slower so I can fire a divine thunder?

"The accuracy is not good." Meng Qingxi commented.

"Luckily, she's a magic cultivator." Hou Qing also echoed, "With her reaction speed and accuracy, if she were a sword immortal, she would probably be laughed to death."

"Keep your voice down, don't let her hear you." Meng Qingxi said quickly, "I'll reward you with a divine thunderbolt then."

Seeing Xie Ruoxi's flushed face and that she was about to lose her mind, Hou Qing suddenly felt a little scared and did not dare to continue commenting.

In training ground No. 3, Tang Xiaolian faced Chen Lingyun, also known as the "Ghost and Insect War", and the fight was almost evenly matched.

Lingyun is now using the control flow, with the Black and White Impermanence's soul-snatching light and soul-binding chains as the core, coupled with the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Beads, the main feature is to control the enemy with a combo until they die; but Tang Xiaolian has a lot of poisonous insects, especially the flying fire ants, which are densely packed. When they are released, they cover the sky and the earth, and they just hit the weak spot of the control flow - I have tens of thousands of flying insects here, and if you control one group, there will still be another group. Let's see what you can do!
Tang Xiaolian's poisonous golden silkworm Gu was extremely devastating among Chen Lingyun's ghost servants. No ghosts or monsters could withstand its bites and attacks. It was not until Chen Lingyun commanded the ghost chariot bird to lead the way and waved the prison flag to activate the mind-control technique to restrain the Gu that he was able to barely stop its momentum.

"Xiao Lian is really awesome," Meng Qingxi sighed, then suddenly said meaningfully, "With her fighting ability, if she wants to find a boyfriend in the future, he'll have to be at least as strong as Captain Zhou... I don't think she'd even look down on Deputy Captain Zhang."

"That's true." Hou Qing laughed heartily. "But would a strong man of that level be interested in her? Captain Zhou is more likely to arouse a strong man's desire to conquer than she is."

"Who knows?" Meng Qingxi saw that he looked natural and didn't seem to be pretending. He guessed that he had already let go of his thoughts about Tang Xiaolian, so he said calmly, "That's her own business. Look at Mengzi. He's been set on Captain Zhou for over a year, and now he doesn't even dare to confess his feelings. Tsk tsk... Anyway, it's not convenient for me to persuade him about this kind of thing. Let's see when he can figure it out."

Hou Qing smiled without saying anything, and sighed inwardly.

The two turned to training ground No. 4. The entire field was upside down by Zhao Yuanzhen's Red Lotus Bowl, and it was impossible to see what was happening inside.

In fact, the evil witch inside was almost beaten to death.

If it comes to a life-and-death fight, Zhang Huaide is definitely not Zhao Yuanzhen's opponent. After all, there is a gap in hard conditions such as reaction speed and true energy strength. But the other party's advantage is meticulousness and accurate judgment, which is the weak point of the demon girl.

Zhao Yuanzhen was asked by Yan Yu not to attack, so he could only summon countless red lotuses to try to completely block Zhang Huaide's attack route.

Zhang Huaide first merged himself with the sword, quickly dodging the impact of a large number of red lotuses, then went around to the side and changed to flying with the sword. With a textbook-like accurate "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", he easily bypassed the red lotuses from the side. The sword light surged up again, pointing directly at the demon girl who was protected in the center by the red lotuses!
Zhao Yuanzhen was in a hurry and could only summon the Yinfeng Sword to prepare for self-defense, but he saw Zhang Huaide's sword flash rushing towards him, and suddenly stopped and asked in a voice transmission:

"Come again?"

This "come again" simply means "you lose this time, let's play next time", which made the witch tremble with anger and responded:
"I haven't lost yet!"

Zhang Huaide heard this and released his sword-man fusion, then shook his head and said:
"Team Yan is training you to use your magic weapons to build a defensive line. Now that the defense has been breached, there's no point in dwelling on the final outcome. You should think about how to interrupt my attack next time."

Zhao Yuanzhen gnashed his teeth, but he couldn't refute it. He cried out in his heart for a long time, secretly holding a grudge:
"Today, Zhang Huaide from the Fire Phoenix Team bullied me... No, Zhang Huaide was just the knife that struck my dignity. Wasn't the real wielder of the knife the little thief? I'll remember this grudge. If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely command the other sisters to bully him!"

Thinking of this, another picture appeared in my mind:

I just saw myself sitting on the sofa and watching the girls take turns bullying Yan Yu, trampling on his dignity!
Yan Yu could no longer bear the humiliation and roared, "Zhao Yuanzhen! Stop hiding back and watching the show! Come and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

He finished the potato chips in his hand, crumpled the bag into a ball, threw it into the trash can beside him, crossed his legs and sneered:
What I want to train is your endurance! Now that even these sisters can't hold on, there's no point in insisting on fighting me. You might as well think about how to last longer in their hands.

So the girls around gathered around with laughter, and they could only hear Yan Yu, who was drowned in the crowd, roaring at first, but soon it turned into wailing, and finally turned into low whimpers, crying and gasping, like a dying male beast.

Uh-huh hehehe hahahahahahahaha!

Seeing Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly lose his concentration and laugh, Zhang Huaide was speechless, but he was a responsible man after all, and put himself in the position of a sparring partner, so he did not interrupt the "thoughts in the brain" of the demon girl.

What a pity, I’m covered by the Red Lotus Bowl and can’t see the other people’s sparring outside the field at all... Could this also be part of Team Yan’s plan?
Zhang Huaide looked at the inner wall of the bowl and thought that he could only ask Hou Qing and Meng Qingxi later.

Hou Qing and Meng Qingxi looked towards the 5th training ground, only to see Yan Yu and Lin Ning changing their sword techniques. Four sword lights crossed and flew, running like thunder, shuttling like lightning, and the sound of metal clashing was endless.

Since Zhang Huaide had given instructions in advance, they began to observe attentively.

As an assistant officer, Meng Qingxi's knowledge of swordsmanship was limited to the few moves in the textbook, such as the "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun." He couldn't help but ask Hou Qing:
"How about it?"

Hou Qing frowned and concentrated for a long time before answering:

"Brilliant!"

"What's so awesome?" Meng Qingxi asked immediately.

"Two-handed sword control is incredible!" Hou Qing exclaimed in disbelief. "How do they do that? Damn, if I could control two flying swords at once, one for attack and one for defense, wouldn't I be invincible? Hey, Old Meng, do you think there's a chance we can exchange the two-handed sword control technique with the Zhendong Army?"

"It's unlikely," Meng Qingxi said. "After the Battle of Ligong, Deputy Captain Zhang immediately consulted with Captain Yan and then reported it to the Pingxi Army."

"What does it say?" Hou Qing asked.

"First, we must exchange good things with the Zhendong Army," Meng Qingxi said. "Second, although the Zhendong Army is willing to exchange, the learning threshold is very high. If we can't learn after exchanging, it's better not to exchange."

"Then how do you know if you can learn it if you don't switch?" Hou Qing immediately retorted, "Doesn't this logic block you?"

"It's very simple." Meng Qingxi said, "Not to mention Team Yan, as long as you have the strength of Lin Ning, the higher-ups will probably be willing to make the change."

Hou Qing fell silent upon hearing this: "I fight Lin Ning? There's absolutely no chance of winning!"
As we all know, among the four major teams, only the Fire Phoenix Team does not have a Sword Immortal in its tactical core. Although Hou Qing was recruited later to strengthen the team, he was mainly responsible for support and coordination, relying on the Sword Immortal's own advantage in long arms.

Hou Qing's inclusion in the Fire Phoenix team meant he was certainly above average as a Sword Immortal, but compared to top-tier players like Lin Ning, there was still a significant gap. Furthermore, the Fire Phoenix team currently had Zhou Hongyu for full-court bombing, Qin Meng for close combat, and Tang Xiaolian's Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu for long-range sniping. There was little point in adding more Sword Immortals.

After figuring out the key points, Hou Qing gave up the idea and jokingly said:

"If I had known this would happen, I would have gone for a sex change operation and joined the Zhenhai Squad directly."

"Don't go to the Zhenhai Team!" Meng Qingxi laughed. "Houzi, if you have changed your sex, please give us some pleasure first."

"I'm scared. I'm afraid of being attacked by Olive."
