Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 834 - 834 58 Review_2

Chapter 834: Chapter 58 Review_2 Chapter 834: Chapter 58 Review_2 Given the current situation, Zhenghai, Dragon Cavalry, Huofeng, and Qing An, these four top-tier teams, have somewhat been segregated from the typical sports competitions following the expansion of Class A teams, now primarily handling high-difficulty tasks.

After all, the original intention of the Mysterious Realm simulation battles was to allow Team Monks to train on how to navigate Mysterious Realm mechanisms and defeat rivals in a safer, controlled environment. However, these four top-tier teams have sufficient real battle experience in handling Mysterious Realms and don’t need to use simulations for experience enhancement anymore.

Without the competitions, the teams no longer needed to keep their intelligence confidential nor worry about Li Minghu. Everyone gathered at the underground training ground, only to hear Anna ask in surprise, “All of you train indoors? We use spells directly outside in our area.”

“In your area, it’s all ice and snow, sparsely populated, of course, you can carelessly throw spells around,” Yan Yu said, “This is Jinling Prefecture. It’s different.”

“Anyway, I wouldn’t practice spells indoors,” Anna shrugged.

What she said was indeed correct; at the Hua Fu Stage, Transcendents’ spell ranges are extremely large, easily reaching hundreds to thousands of meters, definitely not something that can be fully utilized in a mere basement.

One must, as they had done during their last practice with the Huofeng Team, deliberately control the intensity and scale of their spells. Whether this affects the effectiveness of training is hard to say, but it certainly makes it uncomfortable for the caster, who must constantly focus on controlling their power.

After pondering for a while, Yan Yu said, “Yun Jin, Ruoxi, you don’t have to train here anymore. Let’s go up to the Yangtze River and practice there later.”

“Others, let’s see what treasures everyone found during this trip to the Mysterious Realm.”

In terms of gains, Chen Lingyun had naturally acquired the most. The Pure Land Sect used Yin Ghosts to deal with the True Obscurity Sword Sect’s sword demon. This many years’ accumulation of high-level Yin Ghosts was now all contained within the Prison Banner she wielded, making it seem like summoning the Four Heavenly Kings, guarding the petite her in the center with an imposing presence like when she was replicated at the Mirror Lake Divine Palace.

“Bull Head and Horse-Face are enormously strong, best suited for close combat. Let them take the lead during battles,” Yan Yu commented, “Black and White Impermanence excel at control with their spells, so they can operate from the back. I don’t need to say much about the specific formation plans; you must have already considered it, anything else?”

“There’s also the Nine Heavens Yin Demon God Seal,” Chen Lingyun slowly said, “Recently, I’ve deciphered another character.”

Suddenly, she pinched a spell with her hands. Following swiftly, she formed the character, turning it into a purple streak of light that shot forward.

Surprise flashed in Yan Yu’s eyes: wasn’t this the spell used by the Banner-Wielding Ghost General back in the Changping Secret Realm?

The character hit the distant steel target. The metal target, formerly used to withstand Xie Ruoxi’s Thunder Method, exploded into a cloud of purple and black Yin Qi upon impact, writhing and rampaging like serpents and dragons!

After the swirling Yin Qi slowly dissipated, everyone saw that the target was shattered, not pulverized at the center like usual from Ruoxi’s Thunder Method, but broken into fragments with several signs of corrosion.

The girls were all stunned, not expecting Lingyun, known for her tactical intellect, to have mastered such a high-damage spell!

Only Yan Yu paused a moment quietly, then asked Chen Lingyun, “How much True Yuan is left?”

“Ten percent,” Chen Lingyun replied calmly, taking an Elixir Medicine in stride.

“Heh, rubbish,” Yan Yu scoffed, “Look at Ruoxi, how she can unleash that power like a machine gun. Why can’t you do the same?”

“Don’t bully Lingyun,” Lin Ning chimed in to mediate, “It’s good for a critical moment to save her life.”

“Indeed,” Yan Yu agreed unusually without objection, nodding, “This spell is indeed suitable for saving lives, and only for that.”

Li Minghu listened silently, thinking to himself that a spell that consumes ninety percent of True Yuan of course is only suitable for saving lives. However, as a Ghost Monk, Chen Lingyun’s manipulation of summons doesn’t consume much True Yuan, so even with just ten percent left, her strength won’t be compromised.

The reason Yan Yu was criticizing her probably was to prevent her ego from inflating with the new spell, possibly leading to reckless use… But why use such an unfriendly tone? Perhaps because Chen Lingyun was overly confident in her tactical intellect, and without such criticism, she wouldn’t take it seriously?

She quietly observed Chen Lingyun’s expression, who just slightly raised an eyebrow without retort, guessing she must have genuinely taken it in.

Aside from Chen Lingyun, Zhao Yuanzhen also reaped a big harvest. In the final phase, the Demonic Sect Enchantress finally located the Treasure Vault she had longed for within the Pure Land Sect’s base, which had not yet been flattened, and completely plundered it.

Among them, there was a White Bone Heart-locking Hairpin that perfectly matched the Heart-locking Hammer in her hand. Inserting the hairpin into the hole of the hammer and swinging the latter toward someone would evoke the White Bone Demon Fire.

This demon fire appeared in a ghostly white color and was extremely venomous. Any flesh touched by it would instantly char right down to the bone. If divine skills weren’t used to remove the demon fire promptly, the target would soon be reduced to a skeleton.

Zhao Yuanzhen hyped up the effects of the demon fire, but unfortunately, there were no live creatures to serve as targets. Suddenly, she had an idea and said to Anna,

“Anna, how about you summon a little demon for me to demonstrate?”

“Sure.” Anna took out some spell materials, uttered a few incantations, and summoned a small demon with wings from mid-air, which looked like a hunchbacked child with a skeletal frame holding a sharp trident.

These little demons were the lowest class in Hell, tasked with guarding the souls imprisoned by greater demons and using their tridents to torture them into wailing—in other words, they had almost no combat ability.

Suddenly brought into the real world, the demon seemed a bit stunned. Just as it turned its head, it saw the hammer whistling towards it and was immediately struck, bleeding profusely from the head.

The White Bone Demon Fire ate through the wound, quickly charring the flesh and reducing it to a pile of dry bones.

Yan Yu fell silent for a moment, and observing the enchantress waiting to be praised, he asked,

“Does your demon fire need to hit the target before it can burn?”

“Yes,” said Zhao Yuanzhen.

“Then, if your hammer has already killed the target, what’s the point of burning it anymore? To destroy the evidence? There are still bones left,” Yan Yu said. “Can’t you just leave the hammer in your hand and release the demon fire directly?”

“That… seems not possible,” Zhao Yuanzhen immediately faltered, her triumphant expression drooping as if a pleased dog struck by its owner.

“So, what’s the point of having this White Bone Demon Fire?” Yan Yu pressed with a piercing gaze.

“It can be used against enemies with strong defenses,” Li Minghu reminded from the side.

“Right!” Zhao Yuanzhen immediately exclaimed. “For instance, someone like a body Cultivating Cultivator like Qin Meng, if the hammer doesn’t kill him, I’ll use the demon fire to burn him alive!”

Yan Yu: ……

He turned to Li Minghu and said,

“Stop reminding her; I was trying to stimulate her ability to think independently. You’ve just given her the answer, negating the opportunity for inspiration.”

“It’s my fault; I’ll refrain,” Li Minghu laughed, covering his mouth.

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately grew angry, thinking, ‘So your way of guiding me to think is by publicly trashing my magic treasure, and you console yourself with elegant excuses? This hatred, I’ll remember for now, and on a future date, I’ll repay it tenfold!’

Imagining further, she envisioned:

Her sisters were gathered around the bed, watching her torment the little thief, expressions either shy or unable to bear watching.

The little thief lay gasping on the bed, his face wan and haggard. Yun Jin, unable to bear seeing this, advised letting him rest for a moment, to which she retorted,

“I’m stimulating this little cur’s perseverance! Your consolation is weakening his will, nullifying the effect of the training…”

Hahahaha!

Zhao Yuanzhen stared intently at Yan Yu, her lips slightly curled as if she were a fierce beast stalking its prey.

Yan Yu felt uneasy under her gaze, thinking this enchantress might be out of her mind again and decided not to provoke her further. Turning to Lin Ning, he asked,

“Has the Mirror Lake Divine Palace contacted you recently?”
