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

Chapter 708 Everyone is waiting for Yan Yu

The third person to reach the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm was Su Yunjin, who was not much different from Zhao Yuanzhen.

Then another week passed, and Lin Ning also reached the state of great perfection.

From this, we can see that in terms of cultivation qualifications, Xie Ruoxi can be considered to be T0 level, Zhao Yuanzhen and Su Yunjin are T1, Lin Ning is T2, and Yan Yu and Chen Lingyun are T3.

Thanks to Qiansi Dafa's ability to narrow the gap in qualifications, the time it takes for everyone to reach the state of perfection is only counted in weeks. Otherwise, the actual gap may be months or even years... So, for whom is Qiansi Dafa applied to everyone?
Of course it’s me, Yan Yu!
Without me, Zhao Yuanzhen would not have contributed the "Pulling Silk Method", and you would not have been able to reach the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm so quickly!
You owe me a favor that I will never be able to repay in my lifetime!

Of course, I am not the kind of man who expects to be repaid with a favor, and I will not use this to threaten you to marry me.

As for dual cultivation, that's a necessary step for reaching the Golden Core stage. There's no other way. If I could skip dual cultivation, I definitely wouldn't take advantage of you!

Today, Yan Yu was moved by his own selfless dedication again. He held back his tears and returned to his room to open the door, when he was suddenly stopped by Zhou Hongyu from behind.

"I have already reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm." Zhou Hongyu leaned his hands against the wall, pinning Yan Yu inside, his eyes filled with fiery aggression. "When will you practice dual cultivation with me?"

Yan Yu felt a little ashamed when he heard this. Xiao Zhou didn't even use the Pulling Thread Method, relying solely on his own cultivation aptitude, yet he was able to surpass me, who was practicing with everyone else, in terms of cultivation speed... Humph, what's the point? He still has to stay where he is and wait for me! Trash!

"How long will it take?" Zhou Hongyu said impatiently. "Within a week, or within half a month? The Pingxi Army asked me when I planned to overcome the tribulation. What should I say?"

"Uh." Yan Yu smiled, "Let's just say that it's better to play it safe. After Liu Longtao has overcome the tribulation and obtained the intelligence, we can then study what preparations need to be made."

"Hmm." Zhou Hongyu was a little unwilling, but it was also true that Yan Yu had poor talent and insufficient cultivation. She couldn't just order him to practice dual cultivation with her right away. "Let's go to your room first."

Yan Yu brought Zhou Hongyu into the room and suddenly noticed that she seemed to have put on light makeup today.

This girl has fair skin and a pretty face. The only flaw is that her eyes are too sharp and her temperament is too fierce, which makes her look more heroic than gentle.

Now that I use makeup to trim my eyeliner, my eyebrows and eyes look much softer, and my overall feminine charm has been greatly enhanced!

"The makeup looks great," Yan Yu praised. "It really suits your looks."

Zhou Hongyu was immediately overjoyed and wanted to throw Yan Yu on the bed immediately to express her love for him.

But Tang Xiaolian's advice still remained in my mind:

"Captain Zhou, men are always fickle. If something comes too easily, they'll get bored quickly. It's better to keep him interested. It's best if he takes the initiative, and you try to be willing and reluctant... It's like a computer game! Divide your affection into several levels, and give him a small reward each time you pass a level. Then he'll be circling you like a nuclear-powered dog."

"I don't understand." Zhou Hongyu asked in confusion, "If I do this, and some of them give it to me for free, then I'm at a disadvantage, right?"

"That's not how it works!" Tang Xiaolian said quickly, "You gave it to him for nothing, and he got tired of playing with you and dumped you. What then?"

"Then I'll kill him." Zhou Hongyu said.

Tang Xiaolian was speechless at the time. But Zhou Hongyu thought about it carefully and decided that although Yan Yu didn't seem like the type to get bored easily, there was no need to gamble on his character. If he could keep him around longer, why not?
"I just suddenly wanted to change my style." She said seriously, "As long as you like it."

Yan Yu:………………

To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with Hongyu's sudden change in speaking style. It would feel more natural if you pushed me against the wall and kissed me forcefully as soon as you entered the room.

"Why don't you try wearing a skirt next time?" Yan Yuti suggested, "I heard that wearing a skirt and pants is a completely different experience for girls."

Zhou Hongyu is a lifelong jeans lover, with over a dozen pairs in her wardrobe that she rotates every year. It's not that she likes jeans, but she lacks the motivation to carefully match her outfit. After hearing Yan Yu's instructions, she suddenly understood and became excited:
"I'm going to buy a skirt right now!"

Yan Yu wanted to call her back, but Zhou Hongyu was such a decisive person. She simply went through the wall and went outside to find Xiao Lian, asking her to go out and buy a dress.

As soon as she left, Li Weiguo called:

"I heard that Lin Ning from your team has also reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"Yeah." Yan Yu said, "It was just confirmed this afternoon."

"Then three people on your team have reached Great Consummation." Li Weiguo asked, "Do you have a plan for overcoming the tribulation?"

"I plan to wait and see how difficult it is for others to overcome the tribulation before making any plans." Yan Yu replied.

They were all waiting to reach the Golden Core realm with Yan Yu through dual cultivation, so this was a topic that couldn't be mentioned. Otherwise, while the higher-ups might not dare to force him to breed, there would surely be many charming and beautiful female cultivators offering themselves up. "I volunteered, so you can't blame them, right?"

Yan Yu is not a man who will eat anything if he is hungry. It is impossible for him to stuff everything into his mouth.

"Yeah." Li Weiguo said with a smile, "If you don't fight for the first place, then Liu Longtao will be the first to pass the tribulation and form a pill."

"Let him fight for it," Yan Yu said seriously. "Rather than some empty title like 'the first to achieve a Core Formation', isn't it more important to ensure his safe passage through the tribulation?"

"You're right." Li Weiguo agreed.

In fact, the Zhenhai team had more cultivators who reached the state of great perfection, but Liu Longtao of the Dingbei Army was the first to be promoted. Many senior officials within the Zhendong Army complained about this.

However, as the commander-in-chief, Li Weiguo still stood on Yan Yu's side unconditionally. Since he believed that "safety is more important than reputation", Li Weiguo would naturally help him suppress internal dissent.

Although Lao Li didn't put much pressure on Yan Yu, he couldn't help but think about it after he ended the call.

The Golden Core Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm are two completely different realms. If a transcendental being equivalent to the Golden Core Realm appears in a foreign country, while Lu Kingdom has not yet reached one, the gap between them will be extremely dangerous for Lu Kingdom—the equivalent of a vacuum at the peak power level.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Yu called Liu Longtao again, and the call was actually connected.

"Fuck, Lao Liu, you still have your phone with you?"

"We're not in jail." Jingye's voice was clearly speechless. "Why can't I bring my phone?"

"Didn't they say the location of the tribulation must be kept secret?" Yan Yu said, "If it's to be kept secret, then the cell phone signal must be cut off."

"I'm not ready to cross the tribulation yet." Jing Ye said. "Why?"

"No reason. It's my first time overcoming the tribulation, and I'm not sure about it." Liu Longtao sighed and said frankly, "I told the higher-ups that I need to gather all the acquired five elements elites and improve my combat power before going through the tribulation."

"Oh my god!" Yan Yu said immediately, "Collect all the acquired five element elites? Why didn't you say you'd wait until you grew three livers before overcoming the tribulation?"

"It's okay again." Liu Longtao said nonchalantly, "Don't you still have Xie Ruoxi on your team? Don't tell me she hasn't reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm yet. Hey! She just happens to be skilled in thunder magic, isn't that a coincidence? Dealing with the heavenly tribulation will be easy for her. Wait until she's the first to overcome the tribulation, and the Privy Council gets the information and adjusts the plan for me. It won't be too late for me to overcome the tribulation when I'm ready."

"We are all waiting for you to overcome the tribulation!" Yan Yu shouted.

Liu Longtao: ………………

So I'm waiting for you, and you're waiting for me, right?

"That won't do, Old Liu!" Yan Yu continued, "You wait for me and I wait for you, but this won't end. By then, hundreds of Jindan-level transcendents from abroad will arrive, and neither you nor I will have to wait. We'll just wait to die!"

"Don't scare me." Liu Longtao said quickly, "Then quickly let Xie Ruoxi go through the tribulation! What are you waiting for?"

"She's useless!" Yan Yu said, "She doesn't dare to be the first to undergo the tribulation."

"Then I wouldn't dare!" Liu Longtao blurted out. "How can being the first to try something new be good? Our Lu Kingdom was the first to send a man into space. On the return journey, the engine and the rocket resonated for half a minute, and the crew was almost killed. It was all due to inexperience! This first person to undergo the tribulation is inexperienced and has the least preparedness in all aspects. He is definitely not going to end up well!"

"There has to be a first one," Yan Yu said, "You can't be afraid of death!"

"Old Yan, let me speak from the bottom of my heart," Liu Longtao sighed. "I'm not afraid of fighting in battle, even if it means dying for my country. But being struck dead by a heavenly tribulation is something that will be written into the cultivator textbooks. Then they'll say, 'Liu Longtao was struck dead by lightning during his first tribulation. The reason was that he wasn't fully prepared in this or that area. Please take this as a warning.' That would make me look like a fool seeking his own death... I won't do that!"

"Old Liu, you coward! You don't deserve to be a man of Pingjing!"

"Old Yan, your cultivation aptitude is so poor that you can't just talk big." Liu Longtao sneered, "Why don't you work harder and catch up on your cultivation? We're all waiting for you to take the risk! If you're the first one to overcome the tribulation, I'll call you brother from now on!"

Yan Yu hung up the phone cursing and started to feel a headache.

The girls were all waiting for me, and Jing Nao was slacking off. The higher-ups saw this and thought, "Well, everyone has reached the required level, but no one is going through the tribulation." No wonder Old Li called me and asked me about it!

I said "safety first", so Old Li is probably going to negotiate with the higher-ups and urge the Dingbei Army to arrange for Jing Ye to survive the tribulation... The problem is that if it keeps dragging on like this, don't let anything really go wrong!

Damn it, why don’t I just be the first one to overcome the tribulation and work harder on my cultivation!

Yan Yu made up his mind, turned around and went to find Chen Lingyun, and said:

"Lingyun, how about you not participating in the joint training tomorrow?"

"Sure." Chen Lingyun, who was grinding coffee beans, said casually, "Then I wish you good luck in your first tribulation."

"How do you know I will be the first to undergo the tribulation?" Yan Yu asked curiously.

"Because they were all waiting for you, they scared Master Jing, who didn't know the truth." Chen Lingyun said slowly, "Master Jing didn't dare to be the first to undergo the tribulation, and Lu Kingdom wants to produce a Jindan Zhenren as soon as possible, so your subconscious reaction must be to do it yourself, right? If I don't participate in the joint cultivation, it's like they only have you to assist in the transportation of the Zhoutian, and the efficiency will definitely be much higher."

Yan Yu:………………

The scumbag woman was clever, but her arrogant, "I've already planned this" attitude was truly unpleasant. The little female ghost only revealed her charm when she was whimpering and begging for mercy.

"And I originally estimated that you should have come to see me last week." Chen Lingyun continued to laugh, "You really are not well-informed."

"That's enough." Yan Yu said unhappily, "I feel like you haven't been focusing on your cultivation lately. You're always asking for leave to go out when you're not practicing. What on earth are you doing?"

"It's a secret." Chen Lingyun raised a finger, placed it on her lips, and smiled playfully.

"I don't want to bother with you." Yan Yu turned around and said, "Let's go!"

The next day, during the joint cultivation in the secret realm, Ningning flew out on her sword to attract the forbidden attacks, while Yan Yu sat in a circle with Xie Ruoxi, Zhao Yuanzhen, and Su Yunjin, and worked together to move the Qi around.

It feels so good without the burden of Chen Lingyun!

Xie Ruoxi's engine was still strong, and the flow of her true energy was like a mighty river, endless; Zhao Yuanzhen was a foreign beauty, and her talent was also amazing, and her circulation of energy was like a torrential downpour, surging and turbulent; Su Yunjin's true energy was relatively gentle, like a vast lake and a deep pool, not noticeable at first, but with amazing after-effects.

More importantly, they have all reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and all the true energy they have worked so hard to transport belongs to me!
Cultivation aptitude not only determines the throughput of external spiritual energy absorption, but also determines the absorption efficiency of one's own body. Most of the time, the two are interrelated. However, Yan Yu was now receiving a combined initiation from three people, and his absorption throughput far exceeded his absorption efficiency. He immediately felt an uncomfortable sensation, as if he were being stuffed, and his meridians were almost swollen.

But what kind of person was Yan Yu? In his previous life, he was a true man who could inject external Zhen Yuan into his mortal body to kill the enemy. His meridians were absolutely strong, so he just gritted his teeth and endured the Zhen Yuan infusion without saying a word.

It’s okay, being forced to fill up by them... just consider it as paying off the debt in advance!

After the round ended, everyone took a short break, and then they heard Su Yunjin ask with concern:
"Captain, are you okay? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Yuanzhen replied quickly, "If he couldn't bear it, wouldn't he say it? Ruoxi, let's continue!"

Xie Ruoxi was also a little worried, afraid that the captain would pretend to be strong and something would go wrong, so she hesitated and said:
"Why don't you take a break?"

"It's okay, no need to rest." Yan Yu mobilized his own true energy and circulated it around his body. Feeling the discomfort in his meridians eased slightly, he immediately said, "My body can handle it."

"If you can't bear it anymore, tell me anytime." Although Su Yunjin said this, he was still subconsciously worried. He decided that if the resistance to the captain's true energy returning became greater, he would immediately reduce the amount of transmission to prevent him from really damaging his body.

Zhao Yuanzhen, however, was getting excited. He thought to himself, "Since you insist on showing off, don't blame me for being rude! If you can't handle it later, I'll give you some more Zhen Yuan and see if you stop!"

Xie Ruoxi didn't have the same complicated thoughts as the other two. She just thought that since the captain was fine, then there should be no problem, right?
The Yunjin Demon Girl's energy decreased and increased, but in the end there was not much change. The amount was still enough to make Yan Yu feel uncomfortable, but it did not exceed the limit, and it was poured in continuously and fiercely.

Continue to strive for the great perfection of the foundation-building realm!
