Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 337 White Bone Heart-locking Hammer

The current upper limit of the concentration of earth's spiritual energy can only support the initial stage of marrow cleansing.

Therefore, the girls who have been promoted to the marrow cleansing stage shifted their focus to training.

Su Yunjin's secret technique of the Southern Dipper Galaxy has begun to practice the fourth move: Flying Tide Divides the Field.

She summoned a mighty wave nearly ten meters high, smashing the enemies in front of her into pieces—of course, her own true essence would also be consumed. If she hadn't advanced to the Marrow Cleansing Stage, where the quality of her true essence had greatly increased, she wouldn't be able to use this move even if she drained her Dantian dry.

The indoor swimming pool in the side room on the first floor came in handy again. Su Yunjin's daily training was to fill the pool as quickly as possible, then drain the water, and repeat this cycle to train her ability to fill the pool quickly.

Xie Ruoxi was still practicing the basics: positioning, adaptability, sword control defense, and the accuracy of thunder magic.

Unfortunately, this girl seemed to have inherited Lin Ning's "rigid thinking" and Chen Lingyun's "slow reaction". Behind the luxurious hardware was a mess of software, so Yan Yu did not have high expectations for her - as long as she could develop a good habit of daily training, it didn't matter whether she improved or not.

Chen Lingyun and Lin Ning's current priority is still to cleanse their marrow as soon as possible, so they did not join the daily training plan.

The problem then fell to Zhao Yuanzhen. Her White Bone Heart-Locking Hairpin was already a mastery, leaving little room for improvement, so it was time to obtain her second magical weapon.

In the principal's office, after hearing the purpose of Yan Yu's visit, Li Weiguo took out a tablet computer from the drawer and handed it over.

"Is it the inventory of our Zhendong Army, or the inventory of the Fourth Army?" Yan Yu began to slide the screen.

"All four armies have them in stock," Li Weiguo replied. "Of course, it's best to take them from our stockpile first, saving us the trouble of negotiating with them..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Yan Yu had already crossed out the inventory list of the Zhendong Army and started looking at the inventory list of the Annan Army.

Li Weiguo was silent for a moment, then waved his hand unhappily and said:

"Go over there and take a look. Tell me when you're done."

Yan Yu and Zhao Yuanzhen came to the corner of the room and heard the demon girl ask:

"What kind of magic weapon are you going to choose for me?"

"From the perspective of the team, it would be best to pick a defensive one, such as Ye Jun's Xuanguang Ruler." Yan Yu quickly scrolled through the screen, "But a defensive magic weapon doesn't suit your temperament, right?"

"Of course," Zhao Yuanzhen said confidently, "Why bother with defense? Offense is the best defense. If you encounter an enemy who is far stronger than you, you will inevitably die. Using defensive magic weapons will only delay your death and make you suffer more. It's better to just kill yourself."

"I knew you, an idiot, knew nothing about tactics." Yan Yu said contemptuously, "Have you ever heard of a defensive counterattack?"

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Zhao Yuanzhen said stubbornly, "My best skill is defensive counterattack."

"What the hell are you good at!" Yan Yu was too lazy to argue with her and continued to flip through the catalog.

Zhao Yuanzhen was insulted by him and immediately clenched his fists, secretly hating him:
"That little thief insulted me today because I'm not good at fighting back. I'll remember this grudge. One day, when my magic power is fully developed, I will definitely pin this little thief down and humiliate him severely, making him show me what 'defensive counterattack' means!"

When I thought about this, a picture came into my mind.

The little thief was pinned down by her and ravaged wantonly, only whimpering in his mouth. Zhao Yuanzhen became more and more pleased, grinning fiercely:
"Don't you know how to defend and counterattack? Come on, defend me~ Counterattack me~ Uh-huh, uh-huh, hahahahahahahaha!"

Thinking of this, she happily clamped her round and slender legs together, wishing she could trample the little thief right there and then and give him seventy, eighty, or ninety kicks to vent her anger.

Yan Yu saw that she had a smile on her face and her eyes were full of affection, but he didn't know what was wrong with her. He just continued to check the list of magic weapons.

Defensive magic weapons are easy to use, but difficult to master. Ye Jun is a special case. On the one hand, because he is conscientious and responsible, he is suitable for defensive work that requires checking for loopholes and filling gaps. On the other hand, he is also hardworking and persevering, which is why he can master the Xuanguang Ruler.

Zhao Yuanzhen's temperament wasn't suited to supporting defensive duties, and her combat style was aggressive and lacked detail. While the Zhenhai team was indeed lacking a defensive role, they couldn't forcefully assign the Demon Sect Demon Girl to one, as this would easily lead to rebellion.

After careful consideration, it would be better to get a control-type magic weapon.

As mentioned earlier, the problem with the list of magical weapons is that you can't tell what they're used for unless you refine them and recognize their owner. However, once you refine and recognize them, changing their owner is incredibly difficult—thus, while this list includes a wide variety of magical weapons, their effects are completely unknown. Yan Yu could only rely on his memories from his past life, skipping over the magical weapons he'd never seen before and then weighing the few he knew.

There are many control magic weapons, but very few are good ones. Most of them need to hit the enemy to be effective, and they can be easily blocked during the tracking process. This leads to a problem:
Since you have already hit the enemy, why not just use killing magic weapons?

This control method can only be effective when the enemy uses some kind of defensive method, but at this stage, defensive spells and magic weapons are even rarer than control types...

Yan Yu was thinking silently when he suddenly saw Zhao Yuanzhen stretch out his finger and quickly swipe a few times, pulling the list directly to the top:
"how about this?"

"What's going on?" Yan Yu asked in confusion, "Isn't this a hammer?"

The picture pointed out by Zhao Yuanzhen showed a hammer with a rather evil shape. The material looked like bone but not bone, and like ivory but not ivory. There were huge skull heads carved on the hammer, both on the front and back.

"Don't you think the shape of this thing is very similar to my White Bone Heart-Locking Hairpin?" Zhao Yuanzhen said.

She took out the bone heart-locking hairpin, and Yan Yu compared it carefully.

It's indeed very similar.

The body of the White Bone Heart-Locking Hairpin also had a skull carved into it, with two holes for the eye sockets, one for the nose, and one large hole for the mouth...

"Idiot, don't all skulls look like this?" Yan Yu was amused by her.

"No, look at the size, curvature and proportion of the skull's eye sockets!" Zhao Yuanzhen argued.

Yan Yu compared them carefully again and found that they were indeed exactly the same skull.

"But this doesn't mean anything. It's possible that the powerful person who refined the magic weapon just happened to use the same refining method." He guessed uncertainly.

"It is also possible that these two magic weapons are a pair." Zhao Yuanzhen said.

These words touched Yan Yu's heart.

You know, individual magic weapons are everywhere, but combined magic weapons are extremely rare. Take Chen Lingyun's "Nine Heavens Yin Demon Magical Treasure Series" for example. Using them individually is no different from ordinary magic weapons, but if one could collect more and refine the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Seals within, one could derive a series of authentic magic spells, including the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Secret Thunder, with terrifyingly powerful power.

If this hammer and the White Bone Heart-Locking Hairpin are really a pair, then why bother about the control magic weapon? I must get it!
"That's it!" Yan Yu decided to take this gamble. Even if he made a mistake, the worst that could happen was that he would save face for Li Weiguo and give Zhao Yuanzhen another chance to choose.

Li Weiguo took back the tablet, wrote a note, and suddenly said:
"The Black and White Impermanence have already agreed, but it's not possible now. Chen Lingyun has to wait a little longer."

"Okay." Yan Yu picked up the approval note.

He took Zhao Yuanzhen to the confidential warehouse and took out the hammer with a permit. He saw that the hammer was only the size of a palm and could be easily held in one hand, just like a rattle played by a child. The skull carved on it was also very delicate and lifelike.

Zhao Yuanzhen snatched the hammer and placed it together with the White Bone Heart-Locking Hairpin. After studying it carefully for a long time, he suddenly said:

"It seems like they just look alike..."

"Don't mess with my mentality!" Yan Yu suddenly flew into a rage, "Before you refine it, change your mind and return it!"

"Wait, don't be anxious, let me check again." Zhao Yuanzhen picked up the bone heart-locking hairpin and gestured on the surface of the hammer for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a whooshing sound.

The bone heart-locking hairpin seemed to be attracted by a magnet and was sucked directly into the eye sockets of the hammer-shaped skull.

It fits perfectly and looks natural.

"It really is a magic combination?" Yan Yu was immediately stunned. "You idiot...what kind of shit luck do you have?"

"What kind of shit luck is that?" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately got excited and yelled, "I'm a wise old lady! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll smash your head off with this hammer!"
