Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 504 - 100 The new version is coming again
Chapter 504: Chapter 100 The new version is coming again
So, what exactly did Chen Lingyun say to Zhang Jin?
For several days after Zhang Jin, who was responsible for psychological diagnostics, had finished his work and taken his leave, Yan Yu had this intense, inexplicable premonition:
I always feel like that annoying woman is up to something behind my back.
But I don’t have any evidence, and asking her directly would surely yield no results, so I could only keep a watchful eye and wait for her to slip up.
Several days later, another piece of news came:
Li Minghu was discharged from the hospital.
...
The Valkyrie now seemed to be afflicted with some sort of corruption, with her health steadily draining over time, which meant frequent hospital visits to replenish her vitality—although this might sound exaggerated, the medical experts from Prince Xing’s medical branch and from Pingjing worked together and came up with something akin to True Yuan dialysis, which could temporarily alleviate her body’s Five Elements imbalance.
As long as she refrained from using True Yuan in combat, and focused on recouping in the hospital, she could gradually readjust the imbalance. Conversely, if she was discharged and actively engaged in various battles, frequently calling upon her True Yuan, her physical condition would deteriorate, and she would soon need to return to the hospital for treatment.

Though it was more of a stopgap solution than a cure, it at least provided a method of treatment so that Li Zhaojiang even went to the Cultivators’ group chat and gave out dozens of red packets to celebrate.
Here were Cultivators each with an annual income of tens of millions, scrambling for red packets in the chat like ordinary workers thanking the boss.
“666.” Yan Yu typed.
Then a bunch of people bowed to the “great god” in a flood of chat messages, but Li Zhaojiang was unabashed as he replied directly:
“What’s with the 6s? If you’ve got the guts, don’t snatch my red packets.”
“Each red packet is only 200 yuan.” Yan Yu mocked him, “On average, not even one yuan per person, you’re really generous.”
“If you’re capable, go make the platform raise the red packet limit!” Li Zhaojiang retorted.
While he was furiously trading barbs with Yan Yu in the chat, on the other hand, he sent a private message:
“Old Yan, help me out, next week we’re up against Dragon Soar Team, help me figure out a surefire way to win.”
“Is there such a thing as a surefire method?” Yan Yu said, “At the start, Old Liu will open the battle for them. Just send five people out and finish him off, and that’ll be that.”
“My sister thought the same thing.” Li Zhaojiang typed, “But last time, Huofeng Team tried using a decapitation strategy and ended up being completely manipulated by you. Who’s to say Old Liu won’t pull the same trick, keeping some sneaky move in reserve to deal with us?”
“How was that a sneaky move?” Yan Yu countered, “It was six against one, and I just turned tail and ran, how does that become a sneaky move?”
“If you were just dodging to avoid the main force, it’d be fine.” Li Zhaojiang typed, “But you deliberately unleashed the Heart Demon, giving Huofeng Team a rough first-time experience. Isn’t that a sneaky move? It even got me dragged off for a psychological exam, saying I have some sort of ‘maternal fixation’… What the heck! Is liking older women tantamount to a maternal fixation? Does liking younger ones mean everyone should be arrested for pedophilia?”
“Go explain it to the Annan Army.” Yan Yu sneered, “As for the match, handle it yourself; my sneaky tricks aren’t meant to help you.”
“Don’t be like that, Old Yan!” Li Zhaojiang quickly changed his tune, “For my sister’s sake… Wait, didn’t my sister just get discharged? Her body hasn’t fully recovered yet, you wouldn’t want her health to suffer because of the competition, right?”
Yan Yu: ???
Turning the tables on the Heavenly Gang, huh! I’m usually the one making threats, and now here comes my little brother-in-law, using my sister to blackmail me!
“Speaking of which,” he suddenly asked, “who’s your sixth player?”
“Oh, her name is Xu Jin. Ever heard of her?” Li Zhaojiang asked in return.
“A woman?” Yan Yu asked.
“Damn it, Yan Yu, you’re indeed the number one pervert under the heavens!” It took a while before Li Zhaojiang replied, “Just the sound of a name and you can sniff out a woman, huh?”
“Shut up, I guessed.” Yan Yu typed reluctantly.
In fact, it wasn’t a guess. Xu Jin was also a late bloomer. In his previous life, Xu Jin survived the Annan Army’s big purge and was eventually promoted to be Xie Ruoxi’s deputy captain. His swordsmanship was fairly decent, somewhat better than Zhang Huaide’s, but he didn’t have any personal flair.
Yan Yu actually had very high standards. Among the four armies, there were many cultivators like Cai Qianlong who could score 90 points in every aspect, yet in Yan Yu’s eyes, they would only merit a comment like “fairly standard” — it would take a perfect score or even exceeding that in at least one aspect to leave an impression in his memory, like Xie Ruoxi’s cultivation talent.
If Xu Jin could become Xie Ruoxi’s deputy captain in the previous life, naturally his swordsmanship wouldn’t be bad. But he wasn’t better than Lin Ning when it came to reactive swordplay, not better than Li Minghu in strategic play, and couldn’t compare with Liu Longtao in terms of natural aptitude. Yan Yu felt it really wasn’t necessary to pay too much attention.
“Train her well,” Yan Yu typed, advising Li Zhaojiang, “Rush to train this sixth person rather than worrying about winning or losing in duels. In case your sister ends up in the hospital for some reason again, at least your team can still undertake missions.”
“My sister is currently teaching her swordsmanship,” Li Zhaojiang replied promptly, “Once she grows up, adding Jiang Hong, our team will also have a formation with three Sword Immortals.”
“Three Sword Immortals and it’s still not easy?” Yan Yu responded, “If you’re willing, you could totally set up a team with six Sword Immortals and start with a full-scale Sword Flying Slash to blast the opposition.”
“And then if we fail to take them down, we’ll be the ones getting blasted, right?” replied Li Zhaojiang.
“Exactly, the key isn’t the profession, it’s the person.”
“One day, when we bring Xu Jin to Jinling, you can help plan out her swordsmanship progression,” Li Zhaojiang sent a message, followed by another, “No, I can’t let her meet you in person; you pervert always corrupt innocent girls. I’ll send you a video of her swordplay for you to watch instead.”
“Your sister’s already teaching her, no need to find me,” said Yan Yu, “What if your sister and I give two different methods for the same swordplay issue, whose advice will she follow?”
“Of course, the correct one,” Li Zhaojiang replied without hesitation.
“Do you know which one is correct?” Yan Yu laughed, “One method might be more suitable for her but has a lower ceiling; the other might be harder to master yet offers better prospects. Which one is right?”
“You have to consider the ceiling,” said Li Zhaojiang.
“Then what if, while practicing, she finds it really hard to master and her strength starts to decline, resulting in poor performance, what then?” asked Yan Yu.
Li Zhaojiang fell silent for a long time, then suddenly sent a message:
“You’re right, I shouldn’t have you advise her. If you did something sneaky and her strength declined, none of us would notice.”
“That’s the point,” said Yan Yu, knowing he was joking, “Whoever teaches her is responsible for her; as the captain of the Zhenhai Team, I can’t be responsible for her. Do you really expect me to teach her?”
“But if it’s not about fundamental approaches, and just some small details in sword techniques, we can still ask you, right?” Li Zhaojiang asked again.
“Of course, you can,” replied Yan Yu, “but I suggest asking your sister first. If she’s unsure, then come ask me.”
“After all this, you’re still targeting my sister!”
As they were proficiently insulting each other, suddenly both of their expressions changed drastically.
“Did you notice it?” Li Zhaojiang messaged.
“Yeah.” Yan Yu tossed his phone aside, pushed the door open, and left the bedroom, only to see Su Yunjin running upstairs in a hurry, her expression alarmed:
“Captain!”
“Don’t worry,” Yan Yu pondered for a moment, then looked out the window.
“It’s just that the upper limit of Spiritual Energy Concentration has increased again.”
