Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 117 Review and Interview

On the flight back to Jinling, everyone began to review the situation as usual.

With the video footage shot by Aunt Lou, it becomes much easier to review the incident.

"Okay, let's take a look at the video." Yan Yu dragged the mouse and said calmly, "Our victory this time is mainly due to the effective execution of the cutting tactic. As you can see, Qin Meng and Zhou Hongyu rushed to the front, but after turning the corner, they lost contact with the three people in the rear team."

"This disconnect in the team prevented the two sides from coordinating well with each other, which created opportunities for us to break down separately."

"I have another question," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "Do you know why Zhou Hongyu and Qin Meng are the ones rushing to the front?"

"Is it because these two are good at attacking and clearing the way?" Lin Ning asked subconsciously.

"It's not that simple," Su Yunjin pondered. "Zhou Hongyu rushed to the front because that's her tactical style. She likes to lead by example. As for Qin Meng...is it because of Ningning?"

"That's right." Yan Yu said with great admiration. Secretary Su was indeed a smart person. "It's because of Lin Ning."

"Wait, why is it because of me?" Lin Ning was suddenly confused.

"It's simple, because they don't have a true damage-dealing swordsman on their team," Chen Lingyun announced. "Qin Meng follows the physical training school, so he doesn't rely too much on sword control. As the deputy captain, Zhang Huaide already shoulders command responsibilities. Also, because Zhou Hongyu is clueless, he's solely responsible for tactical planning. With so many tasks to do, he naturally doesn't have time to intensively cultivate sword control."

"When we were working together to open a path outside the secret realm, Lin Ning fully demonstrated her incredibly powerful sword-controlling abilities." Yan Yu continued her analysis, "Fast, flexible, and of course, long arms. This will make Zhang Huaide realize that once the team battle begins, Lin Ning's sword-controlling abilities will pose a significant threat to them from a distance."

"Tang Xiaolian and Meng Qingxi can't possibly be Ningning's match in swordplay," Chen Lingyun said with a smile. "Zhang Huaide can't match her in swordplay, and he has to distract himself from commanding. So, the job of containing Ningning will have to be handed over to Zhou Hongyu or Qin Meng. But Zhou Hongyu has to be kept to deal with our Yan Yu... Do you understand?"

"Oh!" Lin Ning suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "So this is why Qin Meng rushed to the front in the video! Because according to their tactical arrangement, he needed to rush over and contain me as soon as possible!"

"That's right," Yan Yu said. "Qin Meng is practicing the 'Dragon Elephant Nirvana Divine Art'. He's very resilient. His only drawback is his short arms. If you start out in the back row, by the time he reaches you, your swordsmanship will have already dealt him several rounds of blows."

"So he must be standing in the front row with Zhou Hongyu. This also gives us a tactical window to completely separate Qin and Zhou from the three people in the back."

"Look here again." He continued to drag the mouse, moving the progress bar to the back. "Zhou Hongyu unleashed the Great Bright Fire Dao technique, and unfortunately, it hit the Ghost Palace Judge. If Qin Meng had chosen to return to the rear and left Zhou Hongyu behind... the battle over there would have been difficult."

The girls stared at the video, speechless. Was she "unlucky" enough to hit the Judge of the Ghost Mansion?
Why did it seem like Miss Zhou was going to hit you, but you turned the tables on her and used the Judge of the Ghost Palace as a shield?

"That's right." Chen Lingyun smiled brightly, with a hint of mockery in her tone, "But why did Qin Meng stay with Zhou Hongyu?"

"Why?" Yan Yu knew she had seen through the clues, but there was really no need to discuss other people's personal affairs here, so he just played dumb and said, "It's very strange. Although we don't know his psychological motivations, Qin Meng's choice here is undoubtedly very fatal. Because among the three people behind him, Zhang Huaide, Tang Xiaolian, and Meng Qingxi, there are no strong enough attackers to break through the ambush formed by the four of you."

"Forced to cope with a disadvantageous situation of three against four, with the team's best fighters, Zhou Hongyu and Qin Meng, unable to return to support, Zhang Huaide and his team's ultimate defeat was inevitable." Chen Lingyun smiled. "The team's front and back were disconnected, with all the attackers in the front line. This was the most crucial factor in determining the success or failure of this confrontation."

"Isn't the most crucial factor that determines the success or failure of this confrontation the strongest captain in the world, Yan Yuyan, who is in the front alone and has restricted the Judge of the Ghost Mansion, Zhou Hongyu and Qin Meng to their original positions?" Yan Yu frowned slightly and corrected himself.

"Indeed." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "Zhou Hongyu suddenly shot a flame spear backwards in the middle of the game, not only forcing Sister Zhao to the side, but also causing Yun Jin to lose control of Zhang Huaide. Our captain really made an indelible contribution in this regard."

"That's right!" Zhao Yuanzhen agreed. This was a rare opportunity to put a dent in the little thief's arrogance, so she wasn't going to show any mercy. "If it weren't for that sudden burst of rage, I would have sent Zhang Huaide out long ago! He dragged the fight on for another ten minutes. This is all Yan Yu's fault!"

"Bullshit!" Yan Yu said with disdain. "I'm already one against three, and I still want to keep them all from attacking? Why don't you ask me to kill them all instantly?" "Huh?" Chen Lingyun covered her mouth with her hand, feigning surprise. "Isn't it normal for the strongest captain in the world to kill everyone instantly?"

"Okay, let's continue reviewing the situation." Yan Yu briefly mentioned it, saying, "Let's analyze each one individually. First, your deputy captain's ambush tactics. The positioning she designed, I can only describe in one word: 'bad'! Two words: 'very bad'! Three words: 'extremely bad'!"

"'Very bad' is too much!" Lin Ning couldn't help but complain. "After all, we won by relying on this ambush tactic!"

"Alright." Yan Yu immediately complied. "Based on Lin Ning's feedback, I've decided to adjust the rating back to 'very bad.' Why? Because this positioning is really unskillful. If I were Zhang Huaide, I would have at least three ways to instantly see through your ambush."

"If you were Zhang Huaide, I wouldn't have designed such a stance." Chen Lingyun was still smiling, "Because Zhou Hongyu would just fight you to the death."

"Stop it!" Seeing the captain and vice-captain bickering again, Lin Ning finally got mad, "Can you please finish reviewing this battle properly?"

When we returned to Jinling Airport, Qi Changping drove over to pick us up as usual.

"Let me make this clear first." As soon as he got in the car, Yan Yu reminded him, "Don't hold another commendation meeting this time and ask me to speak at the last minute."

"Don't worry." Qi Changping said with a smile, "That's just a phased approach. We won't have to do it every time we complete a secret realm. Otherwise, the teachers and students in the school won't be able to bear it."

"That's good... By the way, how much is the prize this time?" Yan Yu asked.

"700 million per person. Why are you asking that? You're not short of money now, are you?"

"Yes," Yan Yu said confidently, "I just bought a house near the school and spent a lot of money. I have to get married and have children in the future, so I have to prepare money for milk powder and other things in advance."

"The army should make unified arrangements for the offspring of you monks, right? There will definitely be good welfare policies." Qi Changping said with a smile, holding the steering wheel. "But instead of thinking about getting married and having children, shouldn't you find a girlfriend first?"

"What's going on?" Yan Yu suddenly became alert. "The army is planning to arrange a social gathering for me?"

The girls were originally chatting later, but suddenly there was silence.

"It's not a social gathering, it's an interview," Qi Changping replied. "There's a media team within our military who plan to interview you and do a special feature on you later. They'll also be promoting you to the monks nationwide and boosting your popularity."

"Why are you interviewing me?" Yan Yu was a little puzzled. "Although I am indeed handsome and strong, shouldn't you interview people who are particularly good at speaking?"

"The general thinks your speech would be more... effective in an interview," Qi Changping said truthfully. "Young people these days don't like official language; they prefer your informal speaking style. Didn't you improvise quite well at the commendation ceremony last time?"

"How did I say anything inappropriate?" Yan Yu immediately protested, "As the captain of a team, every word I say is carefully considered, okay?"

"Can I complain about what you said?" Lin Ning leaned over from behind.

"No, shut up!"
