Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

During the lunches and dinners, Yan Yu would watch the live broadcasts of the Superhero League with everyone, and when there wasn't a live broadcast, they would watch recordings, with Yan Yu explaining as they went along.

The Spirit Communicators from Rakshasa Country were fierce and brusque, the Wizards from England were tricky and changeable, the Berserkers from Northern Europe grew more ferocious the more they fought, and the variety of godly clerics from Southern Europe was plentiful.

In contrast, the Clerics, who were the most numerous, had a basic style: Summon a splendid and dazzling holy scepter and then smash it down mercilessly on the opponent.

If the opponent couldn't withstand the attack, they would be defeated, if they did withstand it, they'd counterattack during the Cleric's attack interval, and then it would be the Cleric's turn to be unable to withstand.

Yan Yu had a comprehensive understanding of the five major Transcendent systems in Europe, recalling them as if they were family treasures. No matter what questions the girls had, he could give the most accurate answer without a second thought.

"The reason why Clerics have such a monotonous style is that those who participate in the Superhero League are generally what you call nominal believers," explained Yan Yu after watching the game recordings. "The really powerful Clerics are currently undergoing austere cultivation in Pope City. For a long time to come, we don't have to worry about the threat of Clerics."

Even the Earth, revived with Spiritual Energy, must follow the laws of geopolitics. Lu Country is far away from Europe, bordered on the land route by Rakshasa Country, the Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries, and on the sea route by the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the whole of the Americas.

Hence, European Clerics usually wouldn't bother to fly across half the Earth to cause trouble in Lu Country.

If any really did come over, they'd best be prepared to stay as guests, since Lu Country has always been warm and hospitable to foreign visitors.

"At this stage, our Zhendong Army Cultivators' main adversaries are still Chongying Country's Cultivators, right?" Lin Ning confirmed, asking, "Is there any information available on Chongying Country's Cultivators?"

Speaking of Chongying Country's Cultivators, several familiar names immediately came to Yan Yu's mind.

The Cultivator training system in Chongying Country was very bizarre, being an absolute elitist training regime that made no attempt to hide its nature. Even the most ordinary Cultivators with mediocre talent in Lu Country would at least be organized, guided, and trained before being assigned a job upon graduation.

Chongying Country, on the other hand, focused all resources on cultivating 'geniuses' while completely neglecting the 'mediocrities,' even using them as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Under such an extreme elitist training regime, the result was that the most formidable first group of Chongying Cultivators not only had considerable renown, but were also formidable enough to hold their own in Lu Country. However, their successors fell short of the mark.

Having returned to this point in time, Yan Yu had considered slipping into Chongying Country to nip potential threats in the bud.

Unfortunately, those "old friends" were probably undergoing training in some secret base by now, not something outsiders could easily find.

"Let's not worry about it for now," Yan Yu calmly answered. "At the present stage, we should focus on improving ourselves first. We'll analyze any foreign intelligence we can get, but there's no need to go out of our way looking for it, just let things take their natural course."

There was a universally applicable truth: as long as your strength was strong enough, it wouldn't matter who your opponent was... When the time came, regardless of who came, they'd be overwhelmingly crushed, so what was the point of inquiring about the opponent's information?

Hearing Yan Yu say this, the girls thought that the strength of Chongying Country's Cultivators probably wasn't that great, so they relaxed a bit too.

In the afternoon training session, everyone continued training according to the original plan. Yan Yu was planning on muddling through as usual, but suddenly, he was approached by Instructor Qi Changping.

"Someone from the top is looking for you." He spoke succinctly.

"They're in a hurry to check on my progress here? It hasn't even been a month," Yan Yu asked in surprise.

"What can I say when you're not training with the team, spending your afternoons sleeping instead?" Qi Changping said with a smile.

"Who said I was sleeping all the time, I've been very concerned about their training progress, okay?" Yan Yu frowned and argued back, "You can ask Chen Lingyun, I've been quite attentive to the team's preparations."

"That's not what I'm talking about," Qi Changping corrected, "Caring about the team's training progress is your duty as the team leader. But don't forget, you're also a Cultivator, and not just anyone, but the most powerful Cultivator in our Zhendong Army."

"I've heard that Liu Longtao, Zhou Hongyu, Li Zhaojiang, and the others have been training hard and pushing themselves to the limit. Then we look at you, Yan Yu; lately, you haven't participated in a single training session. It's only normal for the higher-ups to worry, isn't it?"

"I understand," Yan Yu nodded, "But with my current level, even if I personally participate in training, it would be nothing more than a warm-up at best; the room for improvement is negligible."

Qi Changping fell silent. Although accustomed to the young man's way of speaking, he still found his unabashed boasting somewhat hard to stomach.

"Blowing your own trumpet here is one thing," he said with a stern face, "but when you meet with the Commander-in-Chief, you'd better hold back that unruly attitude. Don't think you can disregard everyone else just because you're strong."

"I got it," Yan Yu sighed internally.

Maybe it was because he hadn't made a move in too long, the strong impression he left during the last exchange competition between the four academies had also faded.

He needed to find an opportunity to show off his skills.

Upon arriving at the academy's administrative building, he walked into the principal's office and saw the commander-in-chief of the Zhendong Army, Li Weiguo, standing by the window smoking a cigarette.

When he saw Yan Yu arriving at the door, he casually stubbed out the cigarette and said with a smile:

"Have a seat."

Yan Yu didn't stand on ceremony and directly took a seat in front of the office desk, as if he was in his own dorm room.

Qi Changping's eye twitched. So, the advice I gave you earlier to be more humble, you didn't take any of it to heart?

Fortunately, Li Weiguo waved him off, and Qi Changping immediately felt relieved and quickly turned to leave.

Otherwise, if he continued to watch Yan Yu being too casual, he might end up with high blood pressure. Experience new tales on empire

"Would you like some tea?" Li Weiguo picked up the teapot from the desk and offered.

"No need," said Yan Yu bluntly, "What did you want to see me for?"

"Nothing too important," Li Weiguo poured some tea into the cup in front of him while speaking kindly, "Just wanted to check on how the team you've assembled is doing."

"Thank you for your concern, Commander-in-Chief," Yan Yu replied with an 'I see' expression, "The team training is progressing steadily according to plan, and we don't need any additional resources from the army for now."

I didn't say I was going to allocate resources for you... Li Weiguo choked for a moment, but decided to cut to the chase and directly asked:

"I heard that all the teammates you selected are female?"

"Hmm," Yan Yu acknowledged frankly, "Actually, I'm quite surprised by that as well."

Li Weiguo fell silent.

What do you mean?

You picked all female teammates yourself, and you're also surprised? So you picked them with your eyes closed, without seeing their faces, not knowing whether they were male or female, pretty or ugly? How come I've heard they're all exceptionally beautiful girls?

Fortunately, Li Weiguo, after all, had seen a lot and wasn't shaken by much, and he wasn't bothered by Yan Yu's statement, simply saying with a smile:

"The absolute authority over personnel for the team, I've already granted it to you. The combat effectiveness of the team, you must ensure it's up to standard, otherwise, if we can't win fights, I will have to take back that authority."

"Of course," Yan Yu confidently said with a smile, "It's precisely because we must consider everything from the perspective of winning battles that I completely disregarded gender when selecting members, focusing solely on capability, potential, and suitability. It's quite unexpected that everyone I picked, apart from myself, turns out to be female.

However, because our team's selection standard values 'strength above all,' we have even more confidence in striving for victories."

Now that was something Li Weiguo understood: he means that he didn't select his teammates according to the standards of a harem, but rather as a captain, choosing from the perspective of completing the team's strength, and it just so happened that the ones he picked were all girls, and they all happened to be very beautiful...

Do you think our army would believe such nonsense?

Forget it, it's the same old saying: as long as you can win battles, all is well.

If you can't win battles, I'll disband your team at the first chance! I'm putting this out there now, don't blame me for being heartless later!
