Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 121 This Lin Ning is also boneless

Zhao Yuanzhen was knocked to the ground by the Huangting Sword.

Damn it! Could it be that the reason this little thief chose the heavy sword was just for this reason—to make it easier to bully us?
Looking at the people behind him, only Lin Ning came to help with his sword, while Yan Yu was currently playing with her with the Huangting Sword.

As for Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin, they didn't take any action at all and just hid behind to watch the fun.

"Sorry, Sister Zhao~" Su Yunjin said with a wry smile, "Even if we attack together, we can't defeat the captain."

"We're not trying to defeat him, we're just defending ourselves together!" Zhao Yuanzhen argued, "He was the one who provoked us first!"

"The result of defending together is that we all get beaten up." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "So I'll have to trouble you two to deal with it~"

Zhao Yuanzhen: ???

Soon she came to her senses: Good guy, you would rather die than let your friend die, right?

"Sister Zhao, help!" Lin Ning was beaten by Yan Yu's sword-controlling skills and fled in panic. The Green Bamboo Sword was no match for her. She had no choice but to run around everywhere, shouting in panic, "I can't defend myself anymore!"

"Okay!" Zhao Yuanzhen responded, but then said, "I'll go get a glass of water and come back to save you."

Lin Ning:! ! !
The isolated and helpless Lin Daiyu was finally hit in the hips by the Huangting sword and fell to the ground in a mess.

"Huh!" Yan Yu let out a long breath, feeling refreshed and all the muscles in his body became flexible.

Seeing the dusty Lin Ning again, he got up from the ground in anger and rushed over to bite him with his teeth and claws bared. However, Yan Yu stood there calmly and asked calmly:

"So, you understand?"

Lin Ning was stunned and asked hesitantly:
"Understand what?"

"Didn't you ask me to help you find out if there's anything wrong with your swordsmanship?" Yan Yu showed a puzzled look. "I've already demonstrated and explained it to you personally. Don't tell me you haven't been learning it seriously at all."

Lin Ning immediately thought to herself that something was wrong: Oh no, I got beaten so hard that I was only thinking about how to fight back, but I completely forgot about the important matter!
She immediately said with a guilty conscience:

"I'm definitely trying to learn, but I'm worried I might have misunderstood... Could you please explain it to me again using language?"

"Alright." Yan Yu showed a helpless expression, as if to say, "I really can't do anything with you." He raised the Huangting Sword and began to wield it. "First of all, you attack like this, and I counterattack like this... Don't you think it's very difficult, as if no matter how I deal with it is appropriate?"

"That's right!" Lin Ning nodded hurriedly.

"That's because my Huangting Sword has been in this position since the beginning." Yan Yu instructed her in detail, "Whether you're slashing or stabbing, I can easily block it from this direction. If you want to break it, you have to go from another direction..."

"What if your sword changes direction?" Lin Ning, a skilled test-taker, quickly applied the knowledge to other situations. "If your sword follows mine and moves over here, my attack will still be blocked."

"That's right, this is called 'close defense advantage'." Yan Yu was very satisfied with her understanding. "There's a mnemonic for sword control called 'attack from a distance and defend close up'. You have to remember it."

"What does it mean? The farther the flying sword is from you, the better it is for attacking; the closer it is to you, the better it is for defending."

"The former is because the flying sword's speed is reset to zero every time it changes direction, and it needs sufficient distance to reaccelerate. The longer the flight distance, the greater its speed, and the greater the lethality when it hits the target. The latter is because the flying sword has to circle around you for maneuverable defense. The smaller the radius of this flying circle, the more flexible its rotation..."

As Yan Yu explained everything in detail, Lin Ning felt as if a revelation had suddenly occurred to her. The many doubts that had been lingering in her mind melted away in an instant, like ice and snow in the sun.

She absorbed sword knowledge like a sponge, asking questions from time to time to deepen her memory and understanding.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the man and woman teaching harmoniously in the harmonious atmosphere and couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

Ning Ning! Don't be silly! How could you forgive him? Didn't he just beat you up and make you run around in the dust?
How did you suddenly reconcile? Where's your dignity? Can you tolerate such an injustice?
Wow! I'm so angry! I'm so angry! This Lin Ning is such a spineless person. Looks like I have to take revenge on my own!
Zhao Yuanzhen pondered for a moment, realizing he was now outnumbered and the girls in his team harbored ulterior motives, unworthy of his trust. It seemed he needed to plan his revenge carefully. If she could endure it, why couldn't I? Let this little thief prosper for a while longer!
"It's really easy to deal with." Chen Lingyun said slowly, picking up the coffee cup again - not knowing who she was talking about.

------------

Judging by external evaluation standards, the training content of the Yanyu team is indeed extremely harsh.

Chen Lingyun and Su Yunjin were easier to deal with. One was a mage and the other was an envoy, both of whom were combat professions that tested consciousness, judgment, and brains. So Yan Yu still showed mercy to them, although they might not have noticed.

Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen were much more miserable. In order to train their on-the-spot reaction ability, Yan Yu would beat them up without mercy during every actual combat training.

Skin injuries are commonplace, bone fractures occur every now and then, and the mental stress is extremely high for a long time. An ordinary monk college student would have collapsed long ago.

Of course, Lin Ning herself has an extremely strong character, and is currently able to hold on and not be trampled to the point of losing confidence; not to mention Zhao Yuanzhen, who in his previous life had dodged and traveled across most of Lu Country, so his mental resilience is absolutely first-rate.

If someone else were here, Yan Yu would not have blindly killed anyone and sent them to hell for special training. After all, he is not a big devil.

This afternoon, another round of practical training ended, and Yan Yu waved his hand and asked the two to go find Su Yunjin to treat their injuries.

Overall, Lin Ning's combat talent is still very good, but she is just a beginner and her foundation is unstable, so she needs more experience to upgrade.

Zhao Yuanzhen was a seasoned veteran. He had extensive combat experience and considerable talent, but he simply refused to practice properly. He would only show his skill when Yan Yu put him under pressure. Perhaps this was also due to her otherworldly background; after all, there was no such thing as "military training" in the cultivation world over there, and cultivators were accustomed to a casual style.

"Yanyu." Chen Lingyun came in from outside and asked with a smile, "Are you ready?"

"What are you preparing for?" Yan Yu asked.

"The military media interview that Teacher Qi mentioned last time has already arrived at the school gate."

"I'm busy, please help me deal with it."

"They specifically asked to interview Captain Yan Yuyan," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "How can I, a deputy captain, interfere?"

"That's right." Yan Yu sighed. "What did Mr. Li say? If there are no special requirements, let's talk here in the training ground."

"Grandpa Li doesn't have any instructions. I'll leave you to figure it out." Chen Lingyun paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "But Teacher Qi asked me to accompany you the whole time. He seemed to be worried you might say something wrong, and at least with me by his side, he could still make amends."

"What could I possibly say that's wrong? That's ridiculous!" Yan Yu dismissed Qi Changping's concerns. "I'm the captain of the strongest team in the world! It's already an honor for them to be able to interview me. If they really want a balanced report, why don't they go to Liu Longtao?"

"Speaking of which, I did hear something." Chen Lingyun smiled brightly. "I heard that the editorial department of their newspaper originally wanted to interview the Dingbei Army first, and then interview our Zhendong Army."

"It was just that the editor-in-chief insisted on reporting on the Zhendong Army first, against all odds. That's why the reporter team chose to fly from Pingjing to Jinling instead of going to Shengjing, which was closer."

"Hmph." Yan Yu said contemptuously, "You're just talking nonsense about boring office struggles. You might as well just say what you want to say. I'm not in the mood to play guessing games with you."

"This interview isn't just a routine matter," Chen Lingyun said with an unwavering smile. "The other party is quite influential. This is only the first installment, and the interview content will be submitted to the Privy Council. Those people will have a chance to see it, but the second installment may not be available."

"The Zhendong Army and the Dingbei Army aren't fighting over who gets the first report, but who can leave the biggest impression on those people. While we can't deny the nature of office struggles, you better pull yourself together, okay?"

"Is that what your father meant?" Yan Yu glanced at her.

"Hmm~" Chen Lingyun did not deny it.

"Okay then." Yan Yu touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Then I'll take it seriously."
