Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 344 - 40 Surrounded
Chapter 344: Chapter 40 Surrounded
Yan Yu’s reaction was actually very quick.
After being knocked down by Lin Ning, the moment his body pressed onto her, he quickly propped himself up with his hands, twisted his waist, flipped over, and got off her.
Hmph, you think you deserve to take advantage of me?
Before Sister Lin even had the chance to get angry, there was no one on top of her, so she just instinctively scrambled up, looking bewildered.
Xie Ruoxi also looked over, but unfortunately, Yan Yu’s movements were too quick, and she didn’t catch any hints of impropriety, so she simply looked away, thinking thankfully I’m not Lin Ning, who got flipped over by the captain.
“Did you get it?” Yan Yu pretended as if nothing had happened and lectured her, “Remember actions, not words… When attacking with Sword Control, you must be wary of the opponent’s sneak attacks on your real body, understand?”
Lin Ning, however, stood there stupefied for quite some time before saying:
“Why do you reject me so much?”
“What do you mean, reject you?” Yan Yu was baffled.
“…Hmph, it’s nothing.” Lin Ning finally recovered her senses and replied, “Let’s continue training.”
Although she said it was nothing, her mind couldn’t help but start to wander.
When practicing swordsmanship, if we accidentally make body contact, do I look like I would mistakenly think you did it on purpose and get angry at you? In your mind, am I just a girl who’s quick to anger and needs to be avoided at all costs?
Although the more she thought about it, the more upset she became, Lin Ning couldn’t fault Yan Yu’s actions as being inappropriate, so she could only channel all her frustration into her swordsmanship, fiercely attacking her opponent.
On Yan Yu’s side, he was pleasantly surprised, wondering why Sister Lin suddenly became so aggressive?

Exactly! The more exchanges in offense and defense, the more likely it is to expose flaws, and the faster the experience in Swordsmanship Combat grows… let me teach you well!
So another afternoon of being beaten up and fed moves went by, and by around five in the afternoon, Lin Ning was so saturated with moves that she couldn’t remember any of the swordsmanship routines.
Yan Yu wasn’t a demon, so he stopped everyone’s training and decided to take them all out for dinner.
By this time, although the Zhenhai Team wasn’t a household name, they had reached the level of being recognized on the street. After a brief discussion, to avoid being surrounded and asked for autographs, they decided to just eat at the school cafeteria.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria of Zhendong College, as soon as they appeared, they were immediately surrounded by a large number of students.
Yan Yu: ???
How come we’re being surrounded even at school?
But here he was mistaken: although everyone enrolled at the same time, most students had never seen them because they had moved out early.
Because they were unfamiliar, so came the curiosity. Coupled with the various great deeds of the Zhenhai Team, this sentiment had already turned into admiration and pursuit, so much so that when someone shouted “Longcheng Flying General,” nearly all the college students in the cafeteria swarmed over.
Yan Yu initially tried to remain composed, but soon he couldn’t hold it together because there were just too many people…
“Captain Yan, are you guys going to challenge The Secret Realm of Lígōng?” someone from the crowd shouted.
“Captain Yan! When are you going to take down the Onmyoji from Sakura Country?”
“Captain Yan I’m your fan quack quack quack quack quack— who stepped on the heel of my shoe?!!” It sounded like a female college student.
“Captain Yan crushes Sakura Country! Sweep East Asia! Create new glory!” Another person started chanting slogans.
The Zhenhai Team ran away in panic, followed by chanting, college student Cultivators, each one a master of creating chaos, abstract artists, even shouting “Add me to Captain Yan’s harem” in the commotion.
Yan Yu was running the fastest when suddenly someone pulled him aside, tucking him into a small thicket.
Divine Sense swept across, and to his surprise, it was Qiu Ze hidden by an Invisibility Technique.
“What’s going on here?” Yan Yu asked with his shock just settling, “When did our school turn into a fan club?”
“How long has it been since Yan Team last came to school?” Qiu Ze communicated secretly, “Aren’t you in that training group of ours?”
Yan Yu thought hard and finally recalled that Chen Lingyun did set up a group, pulling in all the team leaders and deputy team leaders from the entire school… And indeed, the atmosphere in that group was a bit eerie, full of heaven-defying bootlickers; he just didn’t know if the students were doing it on purpose or really going mad.
But there was actually no difference between the two.
“So what’s with these people?” Yan Yu asked helplessly with his hand to his forehead, “I thought they were intentionally cosplaying in the group, how come they’re also like this offline?”
“I think Yan Team might be underestimating your fame a bit.” Qiu Ze sighed as well, “Take our Shenxing Battle Team, for instance. Before, with your Zhenhai Team standing in front, we and the other students could communicate properly, often discussing tactics, game plans, and skills. Our relationships were also okay.”
“Later, after the league rated us as a first-tier team, some started to change their tune and butter us up. Whenever I show up, it’s ‘Qiu God, take me with you,’ ‘Qiu God, acknowledge me,’ ‘Qiu God, should we rise to wealth and honor, let’s not forget each other.’ It’s not just online, offline too, they’d come over to join in the fun and get close, making it so you can’t even enjoy a meal in peace in the cafeteria… That’s why our team stopped eating there a long time ago.”
“I see.” Yan Yu acknowledged the point and exclaimed, “The school is just a microcosm of society.”
“Everyone sees it very clearly.” Qiu Ze agreed, “The gap in strength, status, and resources between renowned and non-renowned teams is going to widen to unimaginable extents in the future.”
“It’s only now, while everyone is still in the same school, that there’s a chance for interaction. Once we graduate and go our separate ways, there won’t even be an opportunity to make acquaintance or have a chat.”
“Speaking of which, what are they teaching at the school now?” Yan Yu casually asked.
“They teach some courses on tactical analysis and such. You in Yan Team are on the frontline, gaining experience from actual combat, so those courses are meaningless for you.” Qiu Ze said as he quietly led Yan Yu away, then suddenly spoke, “Wait a moment.”
“What happened?” Yan Yu looked ahead.
“They’re using Divine Sense to scan,” Qiu Ze pointed ahead.
Far away was the artificial lake behind the cafeteria, a great place for the students to digest their meals after eating. A few female students were seen walking around the lake, their steps light as if they were admiring the fish—December’s winter had arrived, and the fish had gone to avoid the cold at the bottom of the lake. What was there to admire?
“What are these female students doing?” Yan Yu asked via a secret transmission.
“Hard to say.” Qiu Ze shook his head, “Yan Team, do you often receive friend requests from women, which come from our school’s Cultivator groups?”
“No,” Yan Yu replied, “I always have my friend request switch off.”
“I suspect there are female Cultivators at our school,” Qiu Ze paused for a moment, then replied via transmission, “who are always thinking about cozying up to powerful male Cultivators or even dating them, in order to exchange for more cultivation resources.”
“Oh, this…” Yan Yu initially thought the idea was preposterous, but after some thought, it seemed reasonable.
The school allocates cultivation resources based on a Cultivator’s strength. But once the resources reach the hands of a Cultivator, the subsequent secondary distribution with their girlfriends was none of the school’s concern—if the Cultivator was too soft-hearted and his girlfriend complained or whined a little, giving her a share of the Elixir Medicine was quite reasonable.
Alas, everyone’s not focusing on proper cultivation, always thinking of these crooked methods! Luckily, our Zhenhai Team moved out of the school early, not contaminated by these perverse and heretical influences, or else if someone were obsessing over getting me, their captain, to show favoritism, extracting my abilities by deliberately starting a romance, that would be revolting!
As Yan Yu was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard someone exclaiming:
“Su Yunjin!”
“Ah! Is it Yun Jin?”
“Yun Jin, wait, don’t go! We just want an autograph!”
The female students all dashed forward together, and Su Yunjin, who was still invisible, knew she was in trouble. Without a word, she turned her head and fled.
“How should we save her?” Yan Yu asked.
“Don’t worry,” Qiu Ze said, “I’ve already asked Sisi to help.”
