Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 352 - 48: Beating Lord Master

Chapter 352: Chapter 48: Beating Lord Master

Having completed a general analysis of the opposing forces, the meeting moved on to discuss specific “key target individuals,” which is to say, those famous, top-tier Transcendents who posed a threat to the cultivators of Lu Country.

After the increase in the upper limit of Earth’s spiritual energy concentration, there was an overall upward shift in the quality of the country’s top-end cultivators.

In contrast, the quality and quantity of overseas Transcendents saw a significant improvement and increase.

So why didn’t the number of domestic cultivators explode in growth? This was a topic off-limits for discussion. Anyway, compared to the top cultivators of the Marrow Cleansing Stage within the country, some previously less known foreign Transcendents had now successfully risen to the top tier and were being highlighted by the global media.

On the Superhero Alliance side, “Phoenix” Phoenix and “Thunderbird” Margaret were confirmed to go to war, while “Thornbird” Roger claimed he was still recuperating in his country villa and regretfully would miss the Pacific Ocean battlefield this time.

Apart from the two veteran superheroes, new stars from Europe like “Sabertooth” Langferro, “White Lion” Hamilton, “Devil” Benjamin, and “Preacher” Han George have publicly announced that they would represent the Superhero Alliance in battle and “collectively counter Lu Country’s overbearing and barbaric behavior.”

...

The Yin Yang Bureau’s Four Great Demon Kings announced that two of them would be deployed: “Formless Ninja” Xiandao Jingyin and “Illusionist” Shenyuan Simie.

The Pear Blossom Courtyard sent the fewest people, but their promotion was the most high-profile: the focus, of course, was on Park Changmin, who at the time wasn’t yet called the “Goryeo Sword Immortal,” but “White Mountain Divine Sword.”

Besides him were “Green-clad Sword” Lee Kyung-joon and “Myriad Leaf Sword” Choi Seung-hyun. Both were currently top Sword Immortals in the country competing with Park Changmin in the ring, and each supported by conglomerates… By the way, these nicknames weren’t officially awarded but were collected through media public selections and voted on by the general populace.

All the aforementioned Transcendents, when their strength levels were gauged in Lu Country, all ranked on par with the Marrow Cleansing Stage, making them the greatest adversaries for the cultivators of Lu Country this time.

Under the starry sky, Yan Yu was chatting and laughing with the girls when suddenly his phone began to ring.

He took it out for a look and his face turned dark: Lord Master had directly dumped dozens of documents over, all containing intelligence analyses of high-threat enemies in the opposing camp that were confirmed to be encountered.

You’re pulling up a list, huh?

The meeting on Liu Longtao’s side had just ended, and he’d dumped all the files to Yan Yu before sitting eagerly by his phone, waiting for Yan Yu to provide commentary and analysis.

After a moment, a message came from the other side:

“What, scared?”

Liu Longtao nearly dropped his phone and quickly typed a retort:

“Me? Haha.”

Upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit too lengthy, which might make him look like he was overreacting, so he quickly deleted the “Haha” to change it to “Me?”

After looking at it again, why did it become a question? It made him seem uncertain. So he immediately removed the “Me?” leaving just “Me.”

Continuing his scrutiny, he thought it still wasn’t concise enough, so he decided to delete “Me” as well.

?

Perfect, a question mark could express the disdain and indifference of us noble Pingjing lords when faced with such a boring inquiry…

Before he could finish his thoughts, another message popped up on the screen:

“You’re taking so long to reply; you must be really scared.”

Liu Longtao firmly pressed the send button, sending out a forceful question mark.

Yan Yu was typing when suddenly Su Yunjin tugged at his arm:

“Captain, what star is that?”

“Which one?” Yan Yu pretended to think hard for a moment, “That’s Sirius.”

Is it though? Right, no, maybe right. Actually, Yan Yu didn’t know what star it was.

But the point is, when girls ask you about stars, they aren’t truly looking to learn about astronomy; saying “I don’t know” would just make you look dumb.

No matter what you respond, she won’t check to confirm, so why not make something up and appear learned?

Hahaha, that’s so me!

Su Yunjin nodded as if suddenly enlightened and said “Oh,” but in her mind she thought:

Isn’t that Polaris?

Oh dear, so the captain is one of those boys who, even if they don’t know, will blurt out any answer just to fill the gap?

Cute, I like him even more now~

“So it’s Sirius. Captain, you know so much,” she said with a smile.

“Hmph,” Yan Yu displayed a calmly knowledgeable expression, as if it was all common sense.

Meanwhile, Lin Ning quietly pressed on her phone, starting to search for Jinling Prefecture’s winter star-gazing map.

His phone rang again, and Yan Yu unlocked the screen to find several messages popping up immediately.

[Liu Young Master]: ?

[Liu Young Master]: You can stop joking. Can rabbits beat lions?

[Liu Young Master]: I don’t get the humor of people from the south.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Haha, impatient again.

On the other side of the phone, Liu Longtao: ………

I’ve been waiting here so long, and that’s the crap you say to me?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Oh, sorry, I typed that wrong.

[Liu Shao]: A typo?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: I often use this phrase to copy and paste replies to Xiao Zhou, so it’s always on the clipboard. Just now I wanted to copy another sentence for you, but I pressed the wrong button.

This guy even dares to privately chat up Zhou Hongyu, isn’t he afraid that girl will kill him?

[Liu Shao]: Then what were you originally going to copy?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: ?

Liu Longtao: ………..

[Liu Shao]: Just a question mark, too stingy to type, gotta copy and paste my words?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Otherwise?

[Liu Shao]: Fine, let’s not beat around the bush. Have you looked at the document I sent you earlier about the high threat targets from the opposing faction?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: No.

[Liu Shao]: Why not?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Because I’m not scared.

Liu Longtao: ………………..

Damn, I’m getting the urge to shred someone, gonna have to whip out my Liu Family’s ancestral gold knife.

[Liu Shao]: Lord Yan, do you think this time the Secret Realm of Lígōng will be easy to deal with?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Of course not, didn’t you throw dozens of documents at me?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: A whole bunch of Marrow Cleansing Stage enemies coming to kill us, who dares say it’ll be a breeze?

[Liu Shao]: Then why say “not scared” as if you’re pretending to be tough?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Not being easy to deal with isn’t the same as being scared.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: In the face of great events, one needs to stay calm, understand?

[Liu Shao]: Do I really need you to teach me that?

[Liu Shao]: Look, Lord Yan, let’s not talk about that airy stuff, how do you plan to fight in the Secret Realm of Lígōng this time?!

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Kill!

[Liu Shao]: Kill!

[Liu Shao]: I’m asking how to kill.

[Liu Shao]: Guerilla warfare would be fine, dodge the edge when there are many enemies, butcher any who are alone.

[Liu Shao]: But this time we have to defend Lígōng, can’t let the enemies get inside, not even one.

[Liu Shao]: No room for retreat means we have to face the charge of thousands of troops head-on, no dodging, even Ye Jun’s Xuan Guang Ruler might not hold up.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Why can’t we retreat not even one step?

[Liu Shao]: Otherwise?

[Liu Shao]: Lígōng in the East Sea, just hearing the name you know it’s Lu Country’s.

[Liu Shao]: How can Lu Country’s treasures be picked up by foreigners!

[Yi De Fu Ren]: It’s not like it’s never been picked up by others before.

[Liu Shao]: Trash treasures are a separate matter. A secret realm of Lígōng’s level produces national treasures! Even if we lost one, I’d have to go back to the Liu Family ancestral shrine to kowtow three times and apologize to the ancestors!

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Oh, I see now.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: But my Yan Family doesn’t have that rule.

[Liu Shao]: …Damn, is it still possible to apply for another team to replace you guys now?

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Keeping the treasures of Lígōng out of the hands of foreign Transcendents isn’t as difficult as you think.

[Liu Shao]: I’d like to hear more.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: But I’m busy right now and can’t explain.

[Liu Shao]: ???

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Haha, hanging out with beautiful girls watching the stars, I’m not from your Dragon Soar Team, treating girls as if they were guys to order around.

[Yi De Fu Ren]: Talk next time.

With a crisp “snap,” Liu Longtao’s phone screen developed several cracks—he had squeezed it until it burst.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Jun, hearing the noise, came over to ask.

“Nothing.” Liu Longtao’s eye twitched as he barely managed a smile, “Lord Yan is just joking with me.”

“Oh.” Ye Jun glanced at his phone screen and said, “That’s pretty harsh. I’ll talk to him for you.”

“You’re close with Lord Yan?” Liu Longtao’s eyes lit up, “Go and grill him for me immediately!”
