Chapter 998: Revised: Chapter 42 Queen Witch

    “Phoenix” Phoenix’s death shocked almost the entire world.

    Although NATO officials strongly denied it, the Western financial market suffered severe setbacks on that day. Even ordinary people could guess that the Western world’s “superheroes” were probably suffering yet another crushing defeat, because if there was anything that could be whitewashed in the failure, the noble lords would spare no effort to polish it rather than crudely denying it outright.

    If he isn’t dead, why don’t you bring him out and show us?

    Compared to Phoenix’s death itself, the reasons behind it are even more concerning. Why was Phoenix defeated?

    If it was simply because his skills weren’t as good as others, or because Yan Yu, the Divine General of Lu Country, was too strong, people could still breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in the extraordinary world, survival of the fittest is the rule, and being unable to defeat someone is the original sin, dying is also naturally justified.

    But what if it’s because the entire extraordinary system of the Western world, namely the professions of Cleric, Berserker, Wizard, and those deities’ priests derived from Western fantasy, inherently have weaker basic combat power than Lu Country’s Eastern Cultivator system?

    It’s like being a pure gentleman born in old Pingjing; the admission score of Pingjing University is significantly lower than that of outsiders. Unless your academic ability is extraordinary, how could you compete with them?

    As soon as this statement emerged, the mainstream Western media immediately treated it as a major threat and collectively refuted this “Eastern superiority theory”, promoting that the Western extraordinary professions are actually not weak. The reason why “Phoenix” Phoenix unfortunately died in battle was because he underestimated his enemy and fought in an unfamiliar environment against Yan Yu.

    The entire blame was shifted onto Phoenix. After all, the dead won’t jump out of the grave to protest. Poor guy was previously the first to ascend, praised and hailed collectively by the Western media as a heroic model, but in the blink of an eye, downgraded to a “weakling who only has cultivation but is not good at fighting.”

    Superheroes who had fought alongside Phoenix, such as “Thunderbird” Margaret, couldn’t stand such despicable actions of throwing stones at someone who has fallen and stood up to defend Phoenix.

    While the media in various countries were in noisy debates, the public wasn’t too confused. Because regardless of whether it’s the Eastern Cultivator system of Lu Country being too strong, or Yan Yu the Divine General of Lu Country being too strong, it ultimately proves that Lu Country now holds an absolute advantage.

    Therefore, the answer was very clear.

    Learn Lu Country’s language!

    Although it starts with vocabulary, according to online trending lists, the first word most self-taught learners of Lu Country’s language learn is not “A” in alphabetical order, but “surrender” and “spare my life.”

    At the Wudang Mountain base of Lu Country, everyone was equally astounded and shocked to learn that Yan Yu had quietly done another big thing.

    “Wasn’t Old Yan going to help the Queen Witch solve the problem of rampant demon beasts in the Northern Region?” Liu Longtao was dumbfounded, “How did he suddenly achieve the first kill of a Golden Core transcendent?”

    “He must be showing off.” Li Zhaojiang vowed.

    “No.” Zhang Huaide shook his head, “Regardless of the motive, why did ‘Phoenix’ Phoenix suddenly appear in the Northern Region and then get killed by Captain Yan? The most likely speculation is that those behind Phoenix seized the chaos in the Northern Region to send him over to create trouble, which implies there are external forces eyeing the Northern Region…”

    “Then Old Yan seized the opportunity and used the kill to show off greatly.” Li Zhaojiang corrected.

    The men were guessing what had happened on Yan Yu’s side, while the women were more straightforward.

    Zhao Yuanzhen immediately called Yan Yu to ask what had happened on his end.

    The phone rang for a while before it was answered on the other side.

    “Hello?” Yan Yu asked.

    “Hello what?!” Zhao Yuanzhen said grumpily, “What are you doing right now?”

    Yan Yu calmly answered:

    “Discussing the next plans with Anna.”

    After killing Phoenix, it was no surprise that Anna successfully crossed her tribulation, using pure magic power to reforge her body.

    Similar to cultivators crossing tribulations, a witch who reconstructs her body sees at least a tenfold increase in all aspects of her abilities, such as attack power, defense power, stamina, and mana, not to mention attack desires… In short, because Anna upgraded, her courage also increased, and she clamored to clear her previous disgrace and compete with Yan Yu in horse riding to see who was better.

    Naturally, Yan Yu didn’t refuse. He wanted to show this golden retriever that the gap in skill and experience isn’t something that mere cultivation realms can bridge.

    While they were competing in horse riding, Zhao Yuanzhen’s call came through.

    As Yan Yu answered the phone, Anna immediately perked up, thinking to herself that he surely didn’t want the stuff between them to be known by that group of jealous people at home!

    Horse riding requires concentration. How could you win against me while being distracted?

    Haha, I’m going to speed up!

    “Captain, are you hurt?” Su Yunjin’s concerned voice came from the other end.

    “No.” Yan Yu calmly said, not only did his tone remain steady, but his voice also showed no wavering, “You don’t have to worry, the other side was just a waste, didn’t even get me fully engaged.” Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “That’s good.” Su Yunjin sighed with relief, only to hear Lin Ning next to her ask, “So Captain, when are you coming back! Don’t forget that Ruoxi and Yun Jin still need to cross their tribulation.”

    Anna, eavesdropping, immediately sneered in her heart: What, you need Yan Yu to watch over you while crossing your tribulation? A bunch of impotent little jealous fools!
