Chapter 988: Chapter 35 Only by Killing

“Before facing the heavenly tribulation, one should consume a Qi-boosting Elixir first. Because the efficiency of refining the Elixir Medicine to recover True Yuan is actually not very high, it requires a slow and steady process for the effects to be barely noticeable.”

“Of course, before undergoing the tribulation, your True Yuan should be at full capacity, so don’t skimp on using it against the Tribulation Thunder. Go ahead and use your mightiest methods to reduce your True Yuan to around 70% straight away.”

“The Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword and the Xuan Guang Ruler are not meant for countering the Tribulation Thunder. A set of Ten Thousand Bamboo Sword, at most, can break through a hundred or so Tribulation Thunder, and a single Xuan Guang Ruler perhaps a dozen, can they compare to executing a large-scale bombardment Taoism Method?”

“Their true purpose is to spare you from further depleting your True Yuan, allowing you to focus fully on refining the Elixir’s potency to recover, so the most important thing is how much time they can buy.”

“Tribulation Thunder comes in waves. If you annihilate a wave too quickly, the next wave of Tribulation Thunder will arrive prematurely, thereby inadvertently shortening the time you have to recover your True Yuan. So, is delaying the inevitable as long as possible a good strategy? Not necessarily, because the speed of the descending Tribulation Thunder will not decrease, and the longer you delay, the closer the wave of Tribulation Thunder is to you, which in turn increases your risk…”

Yan Yu talks about various experiences with crossing tribulations with expertise, and everyone listens intently. Even Li Zhaojiang is too occupied to jest, instead, he is busy recording the session with his phone.

Among all the people present, only Yan Yu and Liu Longtao had experience with crossing a heavenly tribulation. For others, the more they watched videos or read various analytical reports, they still could not grasp all the critical details.

The narration from an actual experiencer like Yan Yu was undoubtedly the most precious firsthand material.

Li Zhaojiang was pondering as he listened, when he suddenly realized:

Damn! How could something so important take place without my sister present? She has to face tribulation too!

He fumbled to exit the recording interface, about to message his sister, when he saw Zhou Hongyu and Tang Xiaolian approaching.

“Having a private study session without notifying me and Captain Zhou, huh?” Tang Xiaolian feigned anger.

“It was just a casual dinner at first, and Captain Yan wasn’t even there,” Zhang Huaide explained with a smile, “But as soon as he started speaking, I immediately notified you both.”

The members from the other teams were also snapped out of their daze and hurriedly pulled out their phones, planning to notify their female teammates who hadn’t come.

“It’s fine,” Yang Linhui told his teammates, “I informed Deputy Ye a few minutes ago; she’ll be here any moment.”

The Qing’an Team members were taken aback, realizing they might be the only ones who forgot to inform Deputy Li and Xu Jin.

Jiang Hong quickly looked towards Li Zhaojiang, wanting to know whether he had notified them. But he only saw the team leader remaining composed and unruffled, typing and sending a message on his phone while casually instructing Yan Yu:

“Once my sister and the others arrive, could you please repeat what you just said?”

Jiang Hong was astounded. Worthy of being the team leader! He always said something we never thought of.

“Get lost!” Yan Yu refused disdainfully, “Aren’t you recording everything? Just let them listen to the recording.”

“What if they have questions?” Li Zhaojiang insisted, “If they listen to it here, they can ask you directly. Who are they supposed to turn to with questions from a recording?”

“They can come to my room and ask me afterward,” Yan Yu replied without a second thought.

“That makes sense…” Li Zhaojiang mused for a moment, then suddenly came to a realization, “Get out of here! You’re tricking my sister into going to your room, right? She must ask here, in front of everyone!”

Everyone turned and snickered. Li Zhaojiang’s reputation as an obsessive brother wasn’t a secret in their circle; unfortunately, Li Minghu was not the same towards her brother and was even quite close to Yan Yu. This meant that whenever Li Zhaojiang was infuriated, it always looked as if he was wearing a red clown nose.

Soon after, Ye Jun, Li Minghu, Xu Jin, and the girls from the Zhenhai Team arrived one after another, and finally, all members of the four major teams gathered to listen to Yan Yu’s explanation on how to cross tribulation.

Yan Yu shared everything he knew in detail, answering all questions without holding back, consequently earning a torrent of admiration and reverence. The audience kept asking questions and discussing while exuberantly praising the “awesome Yan God,” offering flattery as if it cost them nothing.

“What do you think?” Ye Jun asked Liu Longtao mentally, “How does his method of crossing tribulation compare to yours?”

Liu Longtao was silent for a moment before responding:

“I am not his equal.”

Lord Master had a far greater abundance of True Yuan compared to Yan Yu, plus the materials prepared for crossing tribulation were doubled, so the overall difficulty was naturally lower.

Honestly assessing the situation, if he were placed in Yan Yu’s exact circumstances and conditions, he likely wouldn’t have made it through.

Ye Jun was actually asking rhetorically, aware of Liu Longtao’s modesty and unwillingness to admit his inferiority to Yan Yu. With a faint smile, she raised her hand to ask:

“Regarding the formation used in crossing tribulations, which type would be more suitable: one that concentrates Spiritual Energy to accelerate the recovery of True Yuan, or one that delays Tribulation Thunder to buy more time?”

“It specifically depends on the type of Tribulation Thunder,” Yan Yu replied fluently; this kind of question couldn’t stump him at all, “If the Tribulation Thunder is very fast, or if the quantity of a single wave is extremely large, leaving you with insufficient time to recover True Yuan, then certainly the delaying formation would be more appropriate…”

Seeing his profound and thorough understanding of the heavenly tribulation, the enthusiasm for asking questions from the crowd grew even stronger, and by the end, Yan Yu was almost solely answering questions instead of continuing to share his experience.

Suddenly, his phone rang again.

For a Cultivator of Yan Yu’s level, even when it came to family members, messaging was the norm. The reason being, they were concerned that you might be in the middle of an urgent mission and would be disturbed by a phone call.

In other words, if someone were to make a phone call, it was likely not just any common matter.
