Chapter 984: Chapter 32 You Win, Win, and Win, but End Up Losing Everything

We won!

Finally, after knocking all three to the ground, Yan Yu delivered the last attack to the Enchantress before casually rising to his feet.

Humph, three weaklings, not even worthy to be my opponents!

After changing clothes, Yan Yu pushed open the door to leave just to see Lin Ning hastily pulling Su Yunjin’s hand, scurrying into his room to escape.

“Running for what!” Yan Yu yelled, “Come back here!”

Both of them didn’t dare to stop and whooshed back into the room through the wall.

Yan Yu came to the door of the room and knocked.

“Not a good time today!” Lin Ning’s voice came from inside, “I’m using the toilet, it’s stinky! Don’t come in!”

“You’re using the toilet. Then what about Yun Jin?” Yan Yu asked.

“I’m helping her wipe her butt.” Su Yunjin answered immediately.

“Yun Jin!” Lin Ning immediately cried out in an embarrassed anger.

The two swiftly lowered their voices, rustling inside as they whispered their quarrels. Yan Yu had thought of going in to scare them but considering he had just been through a tough battle, both his physical and mental energy were not at their best…

Forget it, I’ll let them off this time!

Meanwhile, Xie Ruoxi had finally regained some strength and propped herself up from the bed.

The captain is really terrifying, good thing I’m not alone…

She looked around and immediately went pale with shock:

Lingyun! Sister Zhao! How did you both end up down as well?!

Twenty minutes later, after a quick shower, the three girls lay side by side under the blankets contemplating life.

“Something’s really off about the captain!” Xie Ruoxi complained, “Did he cultivate some sort of secret technique? He’s so powerful!”

“Is he that amazing?” Zhao Yuanzhen lazily replied, “I don’t feel it.”

“He can defeat all three of us together and he’s not amazing?” Xie Ruoxi said.

Chen Lingyun gave a helpless wry smile. Ruoxi oh Ruoxi, it’s not that Yan Yu is strong enough to take on three, it’s that the two of us are too weak to even help Sister Zhao deplete his energy.

“Hmph.” Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to blurt out some tough words but then she remembered that even though she held out until the end, she still failed to completely defeat Yan Yu, which made her stubbornly retort, “Three people can’t beat him, but what about five? If the Zhenhai Team gathers all its members, can’t we firmly handle a little Yan Yu?”

“Should we bring Yun Jin and Ningning into this as well?” Xie Ruoxi suddenly got excited, “If so, five people could join hands! Each person could restrict one part of his body, even if he were Exodia, we could totally seal him off!”

“Who’s Exodia?” Zhao Yuanzhen asked in confusion.

“Or maybe Shang Yang,” Chen Lingyun said faintly, “each of us could pick a rope for him.”

“And who’s Shang Yang?” Zhao Yuanzhen scratched her head, “Can you guys not speak in allusions?”

“Anyway, it’s a great idea to get Yun Jin and Ningning involved,” Chen Lingyun said smilingly.

“Hm,” Zhao Yuanzhen also pondered, “Several times I felt he was about to give in, what a pity it just fell short. With two more people, surely he will be the one losing!”

“The problem is, with Yun Jin’s and Ningning’s personalities, they probably won’t join us, right?” Xie Ruoxi raised an objection, “They’re both the more reserved type, to accept the current relationship might just be the limit…”

“Wrong,” Chen Lingyun said indifferently, “a girl’s modesty varies among individuals. Even if she keeps her modesty and even vigilance against most people, there’s always that one man who can break through her bottom line.”

“Ah, really?” Xie Ruoxi asked shocked.

“Aren’t you a girl?” Zhao Yuanzhen looked puzzled.

“Oh, right, right,” Xie Ruoxi scratched her head, her nature being soft and timid, even if she had any bottom lines, they’d be easily handled and broken by the captain.

Sigh, I’m still not assertive enough! When can the captain also treat me gently?

While Xie Ruoxi was inwardly feeling downcast, Zhao Yuanzhen and Chen Lingyun were quietly muttering to themselves, discussing how to incorporate Yun Jin and Ningning too… no, to unite everyone together and jointly stand against the evil captain who likes to bully girls!

Little did Yan Yu know that people in the team were plotting against him, or even if he did know, he wouldn’t take it seriously. Defeated opponents, hardly worth mentioning?

Right now, he was at the training field, having accepted Li Minghu’s invitation, designing a Crossing Tribulation plan for her brother, Li Zhaojiang.

“I think our approach is still too conservative.” Yan Yu suddenly had an epiphany, “Doesn’t he have that Primordial Magnetic Divine Light? We could get him hundreds of thousands of steel balls, use the Divine Light to attract them and shoot them randomly into the sky, which could also break the Tribulation Thunder.”

“So you’re talking about a railgun?” Li Zhaojiang said blankly, “If we’re letting imaginations run wild, why not just get me a nuclear bomb? I can use the Divine Light to send it skyward and blow the Tribulation Clouds right open.”

“No, that won’t do,” Yan Yu waved it off, “The power of a nuclear bomb comes from the charge, not your own strength. Using a nuclear bomb on the Tribulation Clouds is fooling the heavenly tribulation, most likely angering the heavens, which could double your tribulation, leading you straight to disaster.”

“Nuclear bombs are external forces; then why isn’t a railgun considered one?” Li Zhaojiang retorted.

“Nonsense, the power of the railgun doesn’t come from the steel balls themselves, but from your Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, alright?” Yan Yu said.

“So, it means using external forces isn’t prohibited, but it depends on how you utilize them,” said Li Minghu, thoughtfully.

“Skipping class is definitely not okay,” Yan Yu said, “Crossing tribulation, after all, is about purifying oneself. Even if you don’t completely skip it, always seeking to lower the difficulty will ultimately affect the grade of the final pill.”

“So, there’s no need to think too much,” Li Zhaojiang said nonchalantly, “With my strength, isn’t crossing the tribulation a piece of cake?”

“Our team’s Xie Ruoxi, if she could be as carefree as you, that would be nice,” Yan Yu sighed helplessly, “It’s true that the essence of crossing tribulation is strength. The reason to prepare a so-called tribulation plan is just to remain unafraid in the face of danger. As long as you are mentally sturdy and have enough resources prepared, not planning ahead is not a big deal.”

“What about your team’s Su Yunjin?” Li Minghu asked, “Isn’t she crossing the tribulation in the same batch as Ah Jiang? Has she prepared any plans?”

“No,” Yan Yu said, “As far as I know, both Ruoxi and Yun Jin haven’t prepared any plans. As for Zhou Hongyu, I guess Xiao Zhang will help her roughly organize her thoughts because she tends to get too excited and squander her True Yuan; without a plan, it’s probably hard to keep going. As for Yang Linhui, he’s pretty opinionated, so I guess he has his own thoughts about how to handle the tribulation.”

“Hmm, let’s not talk about the others for now, but I think your team’s Xie Ruoxi should still make a plan,” Li Minghu reminded, “If she’s to cross the tribulation on her own, her temperament still needs to be trained.”

“That’s exactly the problem,” Yan Yu sighed, “For facing heavenly tribulation, improvisation is indispensable. If she makes a tribulation plan tailored to her needs, and then encounters something during the actual tribulation that wasn’t anticipated in the plan, with Xie Ruoxi’s personality, she would definitely be thrown into chaos. So I feel it might be better not to make a plan for her at all, but to focus on training her temperament.”

“Hey, hey, hey, aren’t we discussing my tribulation plan?” Li Zhaojiang protested.

“Didn’t you say you don’t need a plan? Just go in headstrong,” Yan Yu said.

“Then stop bothering my sister here,” Li Zhaojiang argued, showing his desperation to send someone away, “It’s none of your business, get going, get going!”

Li Minghu also felt helpless, everyone else’s friends and family were all helping out, but his own brother kept spoiling his plans!

When it came to the problem with Xie Ruoxi, Yan Yu also didn’t have any clue. After much thought, it seemed the only way was to do as Chen Lingyun suggested, throw her into a mysterious realm and let her break through and pass the levels alone to adapt to fighting solo.

As for what specific mysterious realm to choose, he had to give Li Weiguo a heads up. Actually, the Sword Array mysterious realm where mortal warriors trained in Nanchuan in their previous lives was pretty good; he wondered if it had been developed yet.

“Yan Yu,” someone called to him from behind, “What are you up to?”

“Oh, Hongyu,” Yan Yu realized it was Zhou Hongyu, “I’m thinking about the tribulation. How’s your preparation going?”

“Does crossing tribulation need preparation?” Zhou Hongyu shrugged and said, “My Great Bright Fire is best suited to breaking through the tribulation thunder; I just need to maintain my stamina.”

“Indeed,” Yan Yu nodded.

Among all the spells, Zhou Hongyu’s Great Bright Fire was one that had the widest range, making it exceptionally suited for breaking through tribulation thunder.

“Right, let me have a look at your Liangyi Micro Dust Sword,” Zhou Hongyu suddenly said.

“It’s supposed to be lent to you for your tribulation anyway,” Yan Yu was about to retrieve the sword when she grabbed his wrist:

“Not out here, let’s go to my room to see it.”

However, once they entered Hongyu’s room and just as the door closed, she immediately locked it from the inside, quickly turned around, and grabbed his sword.

“Why haven’t you come to see me these past few days?” Zhou Hongyu cornered him against the wall, with a dangerous glimmer in her beautiful phoenix eyes.

“These past few days weren’t Zhao Yuanzhen crossing tribulation?” Yan Yu quickly found an excuse, “She’s from our own team, I had to take care of it.”

“It’s been a day or two since she finished her tribulation. Why didn’t you come to see me?” Zhou Hongyu continued to press him, her eyes narrowing.

“I was just about to find you, to make a tribulation plan for you.” Yan Yu was quick-witted and responded promptly, “But just now when I asked, you said you didn’t need one, what a waste of my time.”

“No, I want it,” Zhou Hongyu immediately contradicted, “Show me your plan.”

It was all just an excuse to put her off, but now where was Yan Yu supposed to conjure up a plan from? He had no choice but to brazen it out and make it up on the spot:

“Well, for crossing tribulation, the goal is to last as long as possible. You should use your Great Bright Fire to deal with the tribulation thunder first, and if the thunder spreads out, switch to the Flying Sword or magic treasure…”

“No, the order is wrong,” Zhou Hongyu shook her head, “What about before dealing with the tribulation thunder?”

“Before?” Yan Yu asked confusedly, “Uh, getting yourself into the right state?”

“Dual Cultivation,” said Zhou Hongyu.

Despite her appearance and body being that of an unquestionably beautiful woman, at that moment, her expression was like that of a ravenous man, greedily eyeing up Yan Yu whom she had backed up against the wall, as if she had already devoured him many times over in her mind.

Squawk! The 108 techniques I learned from Little Lian’s collected videos are about to be put to the test!

Yan Yu’s heart skipped a beat, as he realized something was amiss.

Dual Cultivation was something they had agreed upon long ago, and he wasn’t normally afraid of a little red vixen like Hongyu, but given that he had just fought a major battle with the Enchantress, the Trash, and the Loser, and hadn’t had much time to recover, how was he to withstand the fierce torment from the fiery Hongyu?

“Perhaps we should reschedule…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was sealed shut, leaving him unable to utter another word.
