Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 340 - 36: Alliance Team

Chapter 340: Chapter 36: Alliance Team

Yan Yu revealed the secret information about Lígōng to Chen Lingyun actually with the intention of saving a few lives for Lu Country—rather than having more soldiers risk their lives to obtain intelligence on the mysterious realm.

But who was Chen Lingyun? She was someone full of cunning schemes and quickly relayed this intelligence to Chen Tianming.

Father and daughter privately discussed the matter and soon came up with a new plan… Keeping it from everyone else, hence it is not mentioned here for the time being.

Finally, it was December, and temperatures in Jinling Prefecture dropped further, prompting the team villas to turn on their underfloor heating.

It was then discovered that the underground training field had no underfloor heating, as that area was originally designed as a garage, so everyone moved their training upstairs to the living room to practice their Qi Refinement and breathing techniques.

Su Yunjin and Lin Ning had both already begun to practice the Fasting Technique. To support their cultivation, Yan Yu declared a strict fast within the villa, forbidding anyone to eat at home.

Zhao Yuanzhen expressed strong protest.

The protest was in vain, and the compromise was to accompany Chen Lingyun for outdoor meals three times a day.

The Demonic Sect Enchantress accepted the resolution.

Every day, the two would put on makeup and disguise themselves to go out for meals, while the others stayed in the villa to cultivate. During their free time, they would watch live TV broadcasts… As the timing for the opening of the Secret Realm of Lígōng was uncertain, the Zhenhai Team had completely stopped all external tasks, staying at home ready for combat at any time.

It was said that the Dragon Soar Team had also stopped going out, indicating that the lineup for the upcoming expedition to the Departure Palace was already set.

In contrast, the Qing’an and Huofeng Teams were much more high-profile.

In early December, the Cultivator Professional Sports League finally declared its establishment, with ten teams including Zhenhai, Dragon Soar, Qing’an, and Huofeng, being designated as first-class teams.

The other teams were ranked as second-class or third-class, with four second-class teams who were not cultivator students from four major colleges.

They were civilian cultivators.

The emergence of civilian cultivator teams meant that besides the military manor cultivators and college student cultivators, a third faction of cultivators had officially stepped onto the historical stage.

College student cultivators were the favored sons of heaven, receiving the best treatment and conditions. Although there were many military manor cultivators, they were known for their strict discipline and resilience, resulting in minimal conflicts between the two.

Civilian cultivators were members of society who had embarked on the path of cultivation alone, surrounded by ordinary people, which could result in a sense of being the chosen ones. Such recognition could drastically change their worldview—not that civilian cultivators were all bad seeds, but the statistics from previous life showed that the proportion of troublemakers was certainly not low.

The Privy Council’s arrangement was to let these four second-class teams battle against Qing’an and Huofeng Teams to experience the strength of the current top-tier cultivator teams.

The outcome was as expected. Li Minghu left some face for the opposition, but Zhou Hongyu showed no mercy at all, bombarding them without restraint. In the first match, three opponents were sent directly to the ICU, shocking the national audience in front of their TVs.

The girls were also surprised: Captain Zhou, it’s one thing to fight against enemies, but to beat up our own people this viciously? That doesn’t leave a good impression, does it?

After Yan Yu finished watching the match, he silently took out his phone and sent a message to Zhou Hongyu.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Rehab seems to be working quite well, huh? You can even send opponents to the ICU?

[Zao La]: Trash.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: You’re cursing the other side, right?

[Zao La]: What else? Did you think it was for you?

[Zao La]: Making dirty jokes to Xiao Lian before the match.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Oh, I see, I can’t really comment not knowing the exact words, dear.

[Zao La]: Trying to trick me into talking?

[Zao La]: You want me to repeat such indecent stuff?

[Zao La]: You’re a bad seed, too.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Then you’ve wronged me, Xiao Zhou. If I had to pick on someone from your team, I would definitely choose you over Xiao Tang, that kid admires the strong, and it wouldn’t be good if he got a crush on me.

[Zao La]: Haha.

[Zao La]: I’ve mastered a new spell, I’ll kill you the next time you come over.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Is that spell by any chance called “Chi Yu Nine Phoenix Fire”?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Guess who got their hands on it? It was me.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: You’re going to use the spell I obtained to go against me?

[Zao La]: Don’t care, I’ll kick your ass just the same.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: It’s not yet decided who’ll kick whose ass.

After ending the conversation with Zhou Hongyu, Yan Yu also started to feel wistful.

It seems like my relationship with her is warming up… but what have I done lately?

Strange.

But it’s better for her to be normal, rather than accumulating more and more evil energy until she eventually explodes into pieces.

After catching up with Zhou Hongyu, Yan Yu sent a message to Li Minghu.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: How are you feeling?

[Yuegua Donghu]: Experience and awareness are definitely lacking, but they’re brave and resolute, and their methods are very different from our Scholarly Faction.

[Yuegua Donghu]: Our Three Arts and Five Spells are cast with clear intentions, while theirs are more like… how should I put this? There’s a sense of eager to unleash the attack to boost their own momentum.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: A habit of street fighting, huh.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: In life, you’re facing harmless people; as soon as you flash a knife, they get scared, so civilian cultivators are used to launching quick attacks to intimidate opponents.

[Yuegua Donghu]: But that won’t work on us.

[Yuegua Donghu]: I think civilian cultivators still lack a solid foundation; they won’t become our rivals in a short time.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: In the long run, it still comes down to resources.

[Yuegua Donghu]: Exactly.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: What I truly fear is them suddenly whipping out some unseen magical artifact or spell, catching you off guard.

[Yuegua Donghu]: Could that really happen? Aren’t most civilian cultivators basically conscripted by now?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Who knows?

From my experiences in the previous life, not all civilian cultivators choose to poke their heads out to be officially conscripted.

In the decade of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, the toughest cultivator to be conscripted was Empress Yuanzhen. Below her were many formidable cultivators who are currently nowhere to be found—I wonder where they are secretly holed up, biding their time.

Once I have some time, I’ll report their names to Chen Lingyun, and let her dad check the citizen information database—pull all of you out one by one!

Besides civilian cultivators, there’s another group of people, who should be considered Yan Yu’s “colleagues” from his past life; right now, they’re probably busy with various industries and jobs.

Uncertain whether the plan has started, Yan Yu doesn’t want to “reminisce” with them. If he had a choice, he’d prefer these people not become so-called “mortal cultivators” in this lifetime.

“Ugh!” Su Yunjin, sitting opposite on the sofa, suddenly made a strange retching sound.

She seemed to try to stand up hastily, but it was too late—her clothes were quickly soaked with severe sweat, and the color soon changed, almost turning her into a mud person from head to toe—like those favored by bathhouse scrubbers in the north.

Su Yunjin hurried off upstairs. Lin Ning opened her eyes and watched her companion’s back, silently sighing in her heart.

I didn’t surpass Yun Jin again… Huh, why do I say “again”?

“Focus on your cultivation,” Yan Yu sent a message through sound transmission, “The speed of marrow cleansing is not important; what matters is that every step on the path of cultivation must be taken firmly and steadily.”

“Okay.”

Lin Ning closed her eyes again, struggling hard against hunger and thirst.

In her chaotic mind, for some reason, the form of Yan Yu emerged.
