Chapter 977: Chapter 28 Hear My Command_2

Both of these consume very little of True Yuan, and with the continuous refinement of the medicinal strength in her stomach, the True Yuan within her body also began to rise again.

Almost a vast amount of Tribulation Thunder still fell densely. Although Zhao Yuanzhen continuously shaved off layer after layer, the overall average height was still persistently descending, quickly passing through the height of 3000 meters and pressing below 2000 meters.

Back in the conference room, Yan Yu only heard everyone discussing:

“This won’t work, right? The second wave of Tribulation Thunder is too dense; just using the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and the Xuan Guang Ruler won’t be enough to clear them.”

“Did she run out of True Yuan? Why isn’t she using the white flame Taoism Method from earlier?”

“She probably wants to recover some True Yuan first. When the Tribulation Thunder enters the range of 1000 meters, she will use Taoism Method to clear them extensively.”

Yan Yu: ……

Everyone is overestimating the intelligence of the Demonic Sect Enchantress, but he almost immediately realized that the Enchantress probably didn’t have so many strategies in mind.

Her initial choice to use large-scale Taoism Method was because I told her to; now, the reason she stopped using it is because I told her to conserve True Yuan!

This fool, seeing that I was guiding her in Crossing Tribulation, stopped thinking and just chose to be lazy!

Yan Yu silently watched the screen; at this time, the Tribulation Thunder had descended below 1600 meters. At this distance, using White Bone Demon Fire to clear them was highly efficient, being within striking range yet not too close, reducing psychological pressure as well.

However, Zhao Yuanzhen still refrained from using any Taoism Methods, merely continuing to propel the Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and the Xuan Guang Ruler towards the sky, adopting an attitude of “I will fully focus on recovering True Yuan.”

“Hey, Old Yan!” Liu Longtao directly asked, “Is this a special strategy you designed for her?”

“What’s it to you?” Ye Jun interjected, “She’s not from your Dragon Soar Team. Why do you need to interfere with her Tribulation?”

“Hey! I’m just curious!” Liu Longtao justified himself, “Everyone in our team has to cross their tribulations too, what’s wrong with learning a bit more? Old Yan must have some deep reasons for such arrangements!”

Yan Yu remained silent without a word.

At this point, to say that Zhao Yuanzhen is just mechanically executing my orders without any thought or hidden meanings… would surely damage my prestige, and cause me to lose face along with her.

“You’re not going?” Chen Lingyun said with a smile through telepathic communication, “Without your guidance, she probably won’t think of how to adjust next, right? Or are you planning to completely abandon her?”

Left with no choice, Yan Yu could only leave the conference room again, instructing Puppet Azhen to send a message.

“Continue to use your White Bone Demon Fire, but don’t keep it burning continuously. Every time the Tribulation Thunder breaks through to within 1500 meters, immediately launch an attack and clear this wave, then wait for the next cluster to descend, and so forth.”

Puppet Azhen quickly communicated with sister Ami:

“Keep burning the fire, but do not burn. Within 1500 meters, launch one attack, and so on.”

Upon receiving the message, Zhao Yuanzhen thought, Yan Yu, have you lost your wits? What do you mean “keep burning the fire but do not burn”? Why are you speaking so incoherently?

Forget it, although his cultivation talent is inadequate, his talent in combat has never been disappointing, I should still keep listening to him.

Zhao Yuanzhen formed a hand seal with both hands, soon igniting the White Bone Heart-locking Hammer and Puppet again, sending the White Bone Demon Fire burning wildly into the sky.

Yan Yu returned to the conference room in silence, only to hear everyone exclaim:

“She’s started using Taoism Methods again!”

“Indeed, she was waiting to act until it was below 1400 meters!”

“Actually, one could have made a move at 1600 meters, right?”

“No,” Zhang Huaide said, lightly supporting his glasses with a finger, analyzing, “Whether to begin at 1600 meters or wait until 1400 meters really varies from person to person.”

“Cultivators good at calculations and with excellent accuracy control can extend their operational range appropriately. But if one lacks confidence in this aspect, it’s better to trade time for space, otherwise a few mistakes could cause the height of the Tribulation Thunder to continue dropping, and any advantage gained from acting early would be instantly nullified.”

Everyone started to ponder in silence.

“That’s right.” Li Minghu chimed in, “After we go back, we can roughly measure our aiming precision. For example, repeatedly practicing strikes against targets at distances between 1000 to 2000 meters, using the methods we have prepared for overcoming the heavenly tribulation and see within what range of the tribulation thunder we handle best.”

“Makes sense.” Mei Yingxue nodded, “Yan Yu, such valuable experimental plans should not be withheld. From now on, bring them out earlier so that everyone can discuss them together.”

Yan Yu: ……………

Is it too late to say that it’s actually a misunderstanding?

In the live broadcast screen, Zhao Yuanzhen is still majestically activating the White Bone Demon Fire, continuously scattering and exploding the sky-full of tribulation thunder, not showing the slightest sign of her True Yuan being insufficient.

Yan Yu left the conference room once again and asked Puppet Azhen:

“Ask her how much True Yuan she has left.”

After a moment, Puppet Azhen replied:

“Three.”

“What three?” Yan Yu glared, “Thirty percent or three percent?”

Puppet Azhen paused for another moment, then replied:

“Twenty-three percent.”

Yan Yu’s brow knit tightly; the consumption rate was too fast!

“Stop using Taoism Method.” He quickly said, “When the tribulation thunder descends to 1200 meters, use the Wind and Thunder One Qi Pouch.”

Puppet Azhen made an effort to convey the message, but by the time it reached Zhao Yuanzhen, it had been trimmed down to “Stop using Taoism Method, use the thunder pouch.”

Zhao Yuanzhen vaguely realized that her puppet’s spiritual wisdom was too primitive and ignorant, possibly losing a lot of key information in the transmission process, just like how small children speak unclearly and miss the main points.

However, there was no other choice at the moment, so she stopped using the Taoism Method and then grabbed the Wind and Thunder One Qi Pouch at her waist.

This object is a magic treasure that Yan Yu specially looked for; it looks like an old, patched-up cloth pouch. Every three hours, it generates nine Wind and Thunder One Qi Beads. When thrown out and hitting the target, they immediately explode, tearing up the target with the power of wind and thunder.

Although it sounds very mystical, in reality, it is said to be an inferior replica of some powerful magic treasure, the destructive power of a single Wind and Thunder One Qi Bead is not outstanding, about on par with a full-force strike from a Flying Sword. The only advantage is that it doesn’t consume any True Yuan, the beads automatically seek out the target, making it quite suitable for cultivators with low cultivation to get through the novice stage.

But it’s particularly fit for use in overcoming tribulation.

There are twelve hours in a day, generating thirty-six Wind and Thunder One Qi Beads, in ten days, a total of three hundred and sixty beads can be accumulated. Tossed haphazardly into the sky like scattering flowers from the heavens, causing explosions everywhere, they can directly strip away a layer of the tribulation thunder, an entirely True Yuan-free convenient method, why not use it if it’s free.

Seeing Zhao Yuanzhen make early use of the magic treasure, Yan Yu was extremely speechless.

It was too early, the tribulation thunder was still far from you, and it hadn’t gathered yet! By throwing out the Wind and Thunder One Qi Beads now, the range of damage is insufficient, such a waste!

The arrow was fitted to the bowstring, and it was too late to stop. Zhao Yuanzhen raised her hand swiftly, throwing all the Thunder Pearls out of the pouch.

But Yan Yu’s gaze turned sharp, hmm?

This heavenly tribulation is called “Yin Wind God Extinguish Thunder,” and it fundamentally also contains wind and thunder. It started interacting from afar with the Wind and Thunder One Qi Beads, like the repulsion of the same poles in magnets, causing the Thunder Pearls’ speed to significantly slow down.

Originally, Zhao Yuanzhen’s timing was too early, resulting in not being able to wait for the tribulation thunder to gather into a conical shape, but the mutual repulsion of wind and thunder between the tribulation thunder and the Thunder Pearls postponed the impending collision, which coincidentally took place around the position of 1170 meters.

At this point, the tribulation thunder from all around no longer continued descending vertically, but shot straight towards Zhao Yuanzhen’s position, the formation transitioning from a cylinder to an inverted cone, with the number of tribulation thunder at its apex incredibly dense, precisely hit by the Wind and Thunder One Qi Beads, immediately setting off a vast array of secondary explosive glows.

Seeing the Thunder Pearls succeed in one fell swoop, Zhao Yuanzhen was thrilled, thinking to herself that her husband is indeed strategic, sending command timing that was just right, not letting her unconditional trust go to waste!
