Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 431 - 27 Puppet Ah Zhen’s New Feature
Chapter 431 -27 Puppet Ah Zhen’s New Feature
Zhen Dong Defense Academy, special training ground for the Zhenhai Team.
Xie Ruoxi hadn’t been feeling particularly competitive lately.
Oddly enough, before entering the Departure Palace, she seemed to have been training rather diligently… What could be the reason for her lack of drive now?
All she remembered was that it was somehow related to the team captain, but she had forgotten the details.
Forget it, forget it, she would just finish her training for the day and then go back to watch shows! And play video games!
“Ruoxi, focus!” Yan Yu shouted from off the field, “If you don’t like shooting moving targets to practice your aim, we can spar instead, and you can use me as your target!”
...
Xie Ruoxi’s head shrank down immediately, and she hastily clenched her Thunder Method to aim at the targets.
Su Yunjin was practicing her Sword Control Technique with Lin Ning. Yan Yu took a casual glance and saw they were practicing the four basic forms. It was clear that Ningning was accompanying Yunjin in her practice, so Yan ignored them for the time being.
Chen Lingyun’s research into the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner had finally made a breakthrough… Well, it could be considered a breakthrough anyway, though Yan Yu didn’t quite understand it since it required the help of a magic treasure.
The Yin Yang Order.
The magic treasure that Xie Ruoxi and Liu Longtao had acquired from the Secret Realm of Li Palace, not knowing its specific utility, and since the Dragon Soar Team didn’t have a Necromancer, both parties agreed that it should belong to the Zhendong Army.
When Chen Lingyun heard about it, she took a keen interest and borrowed it to toy with, indeed discovering its profound mysteries:
When activating the Yin Yang Order, one could extend their Divine Sense deep into the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Prison Banner without suffering the erosion of the chilling Yin force, thus being able to calmly interpret the Divine Seals.
“The Nine Heavens Yin Demon Divine Seal in the Prison Banner, I’ve interpreted it to mean ‘to trap,'” Chen Lingyun said indifferently, “but that doesn’t explain why it can release secret thunder… You remember the Changping Secret Realm, right? That Ghost General who wielded this Prison Banner was casting countless secret thunderbolts to scour the ground.”
“Could it be that there are multiple Divine Seals within this Prison Banner?” Yan Yu asked, “And you’ve only found one Divine Seal that isn’t related to the secret thunder.”
“That’s also possible,” Chen Lingyun speculated, “So, do I need to delve deeper into the Prison Banner? But even with the protection of the Yin Yang Order, I can’t go too deep into the treasure.”
“That’s how it is when your Cultivation progress isn’t enough,” Yan Yu responded, “Just take it slowly.”
Chen Lingyun looked at Su Yunjin and suddenly said:
“I didn’t expect that you’re quite good at getting fired up.”
“What do you mean ‘good at getting fired up’?” Yan Yu immediately protested, “That’s the inspiration of personal charm, okay? Forget it, I knew you as a wastrel wouldn’t understand what personal charm is.”
“Hmph,” Chen Lingyun smiled faintly and continued, “Aren’t you afraid of capsizing in the gutter? If Yun Jin really devotes herself to improving her skills and makes a great effort, what will you do if her strength eventually surpasses yours and she drags you off to the civil affairs office to register for marriage?”
“Have you read yourself silly?” Yan Yu said incredulously, “If Yun Jin truly takes my place as the strongest in this world, she would be the world’s empress whose word is law. Does she need to drag me to register? With a single glance from her, the whole world would know I’m her husband.”
“Of course, I know that,” Chen Lingyun said, “But given Yun Jin’s personality, she’d definitely want an actual marriage certificate to treasure.”
That was true. Yun Jin also had the persona of a literary girl; she would certainly adore something as ceremonially significant as a marriage certificate.
“But that’s impossible,” Yan Yu said with pride, “As the strongest in this world, I’m destined to race ahead on the path of cultivation, leaving all others behind. Even if Yun Jin tries hard, at best she can only watch my back; she’ll never keep up with the rate at which I become stronger.”
“I hope you can be just as confident in the future,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, “Do you want me to help you by telling others about Yun Jin’s situation, so they compete with each other and strive to become stronger, all for the sake of entering your harem?”
“That’s enough,” Yan Yu was immune to Chen Lingyun’s strange and wonderful ideas. He remembered that in their past life together, she often encouraged him to pursue Lin Ning to “ease the pressure of arranged dates from her family.”
But the past Yan Yu was too kind and innocent, mistakenly thinking it was a test from his girlfriend, so he was even more careful not to associate with Lin Ning. In the end, Lin became Auntie Lin at the age of thirty-seven or thirty-eight, without even a boyfriend, forcing her family to settle for reality.
“I’m not trying to test you, I’m serious,” Chen Lingyun continued, “For you, even if everyone is focused on cultivating with impure intentions, it would at least be beneficial for you as their captain, right?”
“Bullshit,” Yan Yu said, “You just want to watch the fun. When the time comes, you’ll definitely stir up trouble, spreading discord everywhere, turning my… ah, almost got caught in your trap, turning my team into a mess, even to the point of falling apart. Do you think I’d fall for such a clumsy strategy?”
“Exactly,” Chen Lingyun nodded, “Let alone others, if we tell Sister Zhao, she would definitely explode at the first chance. She already treats you as her own property.”
“Hmph,” Yan Yu scoffed, “An idiot who only knows how to eat. I bet if she doesn’t start cultivating diligently, she will sooner or later become inferior in strength. Then she’ll be at the mercy of Yun Jin, unable to retaliate, only capable of secretly holding grudges and going crazy.”
“What harboring grudges and going mad?” The voice of Zhao Yuanzhen suddenly came from behind them.
The two quickly turned around and saw the Demonic Sect Enchantress with her hand on her hip and a curious look on her face—clearly, she hadn’t heard the conversation they had earlier, or else she would have exploded by now.
“Nothing, what’s up?” Yan Yu asked.
“The item’s been fixed, come here,” Zhao Yuanzhen beckoned with a tilt of her head.
They arrived at the area next to the training ground, and with a flick of her sleeve, Zhao Yuanzhen summoned the Puppet Ami.
“Doesn’t seem like there’s any change,” Yan Yu examined the puppet closely and commented, “What about its abilities? Has its strength increased, or its speed?”
“Watch this,” Zhao Yuanzhen said proudly, flicking her hands. The Puppet Ami also stretched out its arms and formed a spell seal.
Yan Yu’s eyes widened immediately because that spell seal was clearly one of the Five Spells, the Flame Curse!
A ball of flame suddenly flared up and then extinguished nearly as fast.
“It can… ” Yan Yu exclaimed in rare astonishment, “It can use Taoism Method?”
“Only fire-based Taoism Method,” Zhao Yuanzhen said proudly. “The True Yuan will need to come from you, and the consumption rate is extremely high, much more than what a Human Race cultivator would use to cast a spell, depending on how proficient you are with the method. But I would say at a minimum it will be thirty percent more. It mostly depends on the efficiency of converting your True Yuan into her Qian Ling True Mie Fire…”
She was still talking non-stop about technical terms, but Yan Yu wasn’t listening anymore. A scene had started to form in his mind:

Zhou Hongyu let out a roar and spit out the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, transforming into an extremely fine, long, and blazingly hot golden line, cutting fiercely towards Yan Yu’s midsection!
With a flick of his hand, Puppet Ah Zhen also spat out the Crimson Feather Nine Phoenix Fire, a golden line sweeping towards Zhou Hongyu!
Zhou Hongyu was taken aback, hastily retreating while shouting:
“Yan Yu! How dare you use my spell… against me?”
“Hongyu!” Yan Yu also shouted, “Your spell is very useful!”
“From now on, it is mine!”
Haha, I can’t wait to see the look on her face then.
Yan Yu suddenly snapped back to reality, internally surprised, Why did I suddenly start having a fantasy? I never used to do that.
Zhao Yuanzhen, unaware that he had zoned out, just stood there proudly waiting for his praise.
Yan Yu thought for a moment and then reached out to touch… lifting his hand higher, he touched her head.
“Well done, I’ve come to see you in a new light.”
“Of course,” Zhao Yuanzhen narrowed her eyes, seemingly quite pleased with the head pat, “I’ve already told you. Leave it to me, and you won’t regret it.”
