Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 846 - 846 64 Crooked Paths and Evil Ways _2

Chapter 846: 64: Crooked Paths and Evil Ways _2 Chapter 846: 64: Crooked Paths and Evil Ways _2 “Go to the frontlines and fight,” Yan Yu said. “Head to those Mysterious Realms that are already under control, especially the ones with a swordsmanship great formation. Use restrictions to torture them severely. As long as it doesn’t kill them, train them to the brink of death. The ones who don’t qualify should organize and watch combat recordings, analyze where there are flaws that need to be improved. Those who remain unqualified for three consecutive months should be directly eliminated.”

The wartime strategy training program’s reforms, trialed and perfected over many years in his previous life, were all recounted by Yan Yu as if he knew them like the back of his hand. The listeners all around him were dazzled, wishing they could implement it immediately and thoroughly.

After half a day, all suggestions that needed to be raised were brought up, and only then did Yan Yu and Li Minghu bid farewell and take their leave.

General Zhang was overjoyed beyond expectation. Still not having enough, he returned to his office and called Li Weiguo:

“Old Li! Your Yan Yu is simply divine!”

“How was it, impressive right?” Li Weiguo also said cheerfully, “I told you, having him take a look for you will definitely be right.”

“Right to the point!” General Zhang exclaimed in approval, “Our research team of experts would need to study for at least a few months the things he saw in just a few minutes. He even provided detailed suggestions for improvements! I think he’s better than any expert in Pingjing.”

“That kid, even before he became captain, dared to propose training program improvements to his instructors the moment he started school,” Li Weiguo reminisced, “Who would’ve thought, the calf that wasn’t afraid of tigers, is now Lu Country’s Sword Bearer.”

“If he weren’t Lu Country’s Sword Bearer, I’d definitely have the Privy Council keep him here,” General Zhang said resolutely, “Just let him be the… what’s it, Chief Instructor for Mortal Warriors! I have people and money on my side, everything he needs!”

“Hey, don’t even think about it,” Li Weiguo laughed loudly. “Even if the Privy Council approves, Chen Tianming wouldn’t let him go.”

“You know, Chen Tianming is quite something,” General Zhang sighed, “I heard his daughter knew Yan Yu even before she enrolled in school. That’s a long-term investment made really long-term, wasn’t Yan Yu just a nobody, not even a Cultivator back then?”

“Actually, it was his daughter who had the insight to recognize talent,” Li Weiguo said with a smile, “If he really had foresight, he would have married off his daughter to Yan Yu before he rose in status.”

“Hmm,” General Zhang pondered, “Even if he has that intention now, it’s probably too late.”

Obviously, if Chen Lingyun successfully married Yan Yu, Lu Country’s Sword Bearer’s stance would very likely lean heavily towards his father-in-law, Chen Tianming. This was a situation the other big shots in the Cabinet would definitely not allow, so everyone was eager to stuff more women around the Sword Bearer.

For instance, the Annan Army sent Li Minghu over, albeit nominally saying it was for Yan Yu to help with her treatment. But for treating illnesses, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to seek out professional medical staff? The hidden significance behind it was crystal clear.

Currently, it seems Chen Tianming is also aware of this, so on one hand, he tacitly allows substantial harem activities around Yan Yu, and on the other hand, he encourages Chen Lingyun to continue staying by Yan Yu’s side so that she can take the opportunity to establish relationships with those top female cultivators. This kind of behavior of exchanging a daughter’s reputation for political leverage made everyone in the know, both inside and outside the Imperial Court, exclaim “that’s very bold”, on par with Liu Bang in the ancient times.

Thus, it was evident that around Yan Yu, Lu Country’s Sword Bearer, a subtle circle was beginning to form, and all major factions were desperately trying to push people in.

Although the two elders didn’t say much, a thought suddenly emerged in their hearts in unison:

What a pity, why don’t I have a granddaughter or a grandniece who is a Cultivator? Otherwise, I’d send her to Yan Yu’s side as well.

——————————————

The dinner at Yan Yu’s home today was exceptionally lavish. Lin Ning, as the main chef, pulled out all the stops and even got Yun Jin to help, finally managing to prepare a grand seafood feast.

Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi ate until they were stuffed, lying on the couch like two little pigs, grunting all evening as they aided in refining the food in their stomachs… Anna watched quietly from the side; these two were clearly the foodie team.

Yun Jin and Ningning were one washing dishes in the kitchen, the other wiping the table in the dining room. These two belonged to the virtuous team.

As for Chen Lingyun and Li Minghu, their true intentions were somewhat elusive to Anna. Neither acting cute nor doing chores, yet they still managed to earn Yan Yu’s favor. Anna highly suspected that both were extremely clever women, which could tentatively be termed the palace intrigue team.

Yan Yu, your side really is brimming with talent, huh? Are you collecting a complete set of stamps here?

“Have you ever felt,” she quietly took out her phone to type, sending a message to Yan Yu, “that there are too many girls around you?”

“Indeed,” Yan Yu replied, “do you know why?”

“Why?” Anna asked.

“`

“It’s simple,” Yan Yu replied, “It started with more women than men here, so everyone was mindful about men moving in, leading to mostly women coming to stay temporarily. I’d call it ‘exclusivity’. You see, Li Zhaojiang has been so worried about his sister’s health, so why hasn’t he come to check on her? Because it’s inconvenient. The villa is full of girls in their pajamas, how embarrassing would it be to be seen? But you can stay here because you’re a woman and nobody minds.”

“But you’re a man, and nobody minds either,” Anna said.

“Nonsense,” Yan Yu said, “this house is the team base, and I’m the team leader. Anyone who minds can just get out.”

Anna couldn’t help but snort with laughter and then typed:

“Is it really not because you want to start a harem, that’s why you specifically pick so many beautiful girls to be in your team base?”

“That question has been answered hundreds of times,” Yan Yu replied, “I only pick people based on their strength, not gender. It’s you women who keep being exclusive, taking up all the spots around me. Maybe it’s you who should seriously reflect!”

Anna:…

Alright, alright, forcing you to start a harem is our fault, okay?

Yan Yu stopped checking his messages, wondering what mission Huofeng Team was on, as neither Turkey Sister nor Candy Sister had sent any messages. Ye Jun said that Lord Master had returned to the team, reminding Yan Yu that this grandson had indeed been quiet for a long time.

[Win Over with Virtue]: What are you up to?

[Liu Shao]: Cultivating.

[Liu Shao]: Are you teasing me, Old Yan? The increase in Spiritual Energy limit has been a few days now, aren’t you busy pushing for a breakthrough?

[Win Over with Virtue]: Not really, we even went on a trip yesterday.

[Liu Shao]: You sure take it easy! The Science Academy has calculated that this time’s limit has increased to the Golden Core Realm. Golden Core, you know!

[Liu Shao]: Isn’t forming a Golden Core earlier better than anything else?

Speaking of Core Formation, Yan Yu suddenly remembered something and quickly sent an audio message to the Sun True Dullness Sword Intent in his Sea of Consciousness:

“Sword!”

“What sword?” the Sword Intent finally spoke, “Are you calling me cheap, looking to get chopped?”

“It’s True Obscure, right?” Yan Yu was asking a favor, so he dared not offend too much and changed his address, “Obscure!”

“What sister? Don’t you already have a sister?” said the Sword Intent, “Here’s the deal, you call me True Obscure Divine Sword Lord, and I’ll communicate with you.”

“Let’s not go with ‘lord’. I just want to ask you something,” Yan Yu said, “How do I improve the grading of Core Formation?”

“Before Core Formation, you just need to cultivate more,” Sword Intent said as if it was obvious, “With diligence, you turn the Purple Mansion into the Jade Mansion, then the grade of Core Formation is guaranteed, right?”

“I don’t have that much time!” Yan Yu exclaimed, “As you’ve seen, our world is surrounded by powerful enemies. If your Core Formation is slow and you have fewer Golden Core Masters than other countries, you’ll be beaten up!”

“Well, there’s nothing I can do,” the Sword Intent replied, “The orthodox method of the Xuan Sect is Breathing and Energy Refining or seeking heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can increase cultivation. But your world has just started its Spiritual Energy recovery, the limit is clear, and you shouldn’t dream about finding any high-level materials or treasures.”

“Isn’t there some unorthodox method that could improve the grading of the Golden Core?” Yan Yu asked, “I’ve heard of a method called the Dual Cultivation Pill Method.”

He described the grade-raising method from the String-Pulling Technique to the True Obscure Sword Intent.

“This unorthodox method of yours is indeed ingenious,” the True Obscure Sword Intent commented, “Jumping for a higher grade is like high jumping; while others train their leg strength, you’ve directly found a pole to vault with… Using the power of dragon and tiger copulation to merge with the innate energy, it should be feasible, but do you know why orthodox Xuan Sect doesn’t use this method?”
