Chapter 85's top output was actually... the game's 80th...

Tongtian was still in shock when he saw Kong Xuan, who had just uttered such astonishing words, remain neither humble nor arrogant, and ask with the courtesy due to a junior, "Uncle-Master, do you think this strategy is feasible?"

Of course not. Tongtian consciously wanted to reply that their lineup for attacking Luo Hou this time was a luxurious squad of Great Luo Golden Immortals, and they also had two Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations as a bonus. Most importantly, the team also had two of the game's strongest main DPS characters, Tongtian.

Although he had the most disciples, not every disciple could draw the Tongtian card. Their damage output was insufficient, so how could they fight Rahu?

But before he could finish speaking, Tongtian quickly stopped himself. Kong Xuan had compiled a table showing the damage output of everyone in the entire battle. Tongtian, who considered himself a main damage dealer, only managed to secure the final kill and second place in damage output. He only dealt 16% of the damage to Luo Hou throughout the battle, and the top-ranked player was none other than Nuwa, who had been quietly manipulating the Demon-Summoning Banner.

However, if we consider the combined damage from various skills and the effects of the formation's reaction, Tongtian would only rank third. On the contrary, in terms of damage absorption, Tongtian far surpasses Laozi, successfully attracting Luo Hou's attention.

He played so enthusiastically, yet he wasn't number one in damage output.

Tongtian was about to exclaim that there was something fishy going on, but as he slid down the table, he found that Kong Xuan's calculations were completely correct.

So, Tongtian's role in this team was just to tank damage and deal damage?

Tongtian held the Qingping Sword in his hand, but remained silent. Only after carefully reading Kong Xuan's entire strategy guide twice more, and mentally calculating the roles of each character, did he slowly nod: "...It is indeed feasible."

Kong Xuan did not limit himself to using all-day-level cards. Instead, he listed classes such as healers and tanks based on their roles in battle, and selected alternative scenarios from lower-level cards such as Earth, Black, and Yellow.

Although following the strategy will certainly not achieve the same goal of killing Rahu as they have, it is still better than the damage caused by everyone randomly attacking at the beginning of the dungeon, and can greatly increase the speed at which the whole server defeats Rahu.

Feeling betrayed by the game data, Tongtian quickly closed the guide. He only needed to fight Luo Hou once, since he, Tongtian, was the one who would get the first kill anyway.

Meanwhile, Nuwa, who was also watching the strategy guide, was completely captivated by the Demon-Summoning Banner in her hand. With such a luxurious lineup in the game, defeating Rahu should have been a sure thing. She just wanted to join in the fun and try out her newly acquired magic weapon. Unexpectedly, she not only had a lot of fun summoning a group of little demons, but also accidentally stole the top damage output position from Tongtian.

Nuwa, holding the Spirit Pearl in one hand and the Demon-Summoning Banner in the other, smiled brightly: "It's just relying on the power of magic weapons." Tongtian fell silent this time, after all, his output from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation was also part of it.

Nuwa turned to Fuxi and said, "This Demon Banner is really interesting in the game. How about we try it out in real life sometime?"

While it was indeed rather pointless for Kunpeng to send a horde of demons to harass her cave, summoning a group of demons to surround her in the game, attacking wherever she was told, was not only impressive to watch but also incredibly fun. If it's like this in a game, what about in reality? Thinking about this made Nuwa's hands itch with excitement.

Fuxi naturally obeyed his sister's wishes, nodding, "I'll try it with you then." Since Nuwa wanted to try, it wasn't a big deal even though the demon race was now under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court.

He could find an opportunity to speak to the current Heavenly Emperor about it another day. It was just about summoning a group of little demons to play with his sister; it wasn't about seizing Emperor Jun's throne. Fuxi knew without even calculating that it would succeed.

On one side, Fuxi and Nuwa displayed their deep sibling affection, while Tongtian grabbed Yuanshi, showing off his heroic fighting prowess and boasting about the invincibility of his Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Only Kong Xuan and Da Peng, after receiving approval from their senior masters, chose to upload their work. They released a video of the first kill of Rahu under the official name, and Kong Xuan also produced a long series of dungeon guides.

Seeing that all the work at hand was finished, Kong Xuan pulled Da Peng and wanted to find another place to continue cultivating. He didn't even let go of the little white dragon hidden in Da Peng's hair, pulling them out one in each hand.

But Dapeng was also quite tired at this point. Taking advantage of the fact that his senior brothers couldn't hurt him while his senior uncles were still there, he let out another yawn: "Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Master hasn't graded our homework yet. Why don't we listen to our senior uncles' teachings here first, and then continue our cultivation after Master replies to us?"

Dapeng was calculating very carefully. The senior disciples present were still discussing the previous game battles, and could barely be said to have learned something from listening to the Great Luo Golden Immortal's battle recap. But the two little birds were just eavesdropping, and the senior disciples wouldn't seriously test them. With Kong Xuan's energy, he would definitely work hard to learn the recap, so they couldn't keep an eye on him for the time being.

He could take this opportunity to rest for a while. After all, so many senior disciples had been watching him edit the battle promotional video, which was exhausting both physically and mentally.

Kong Xuan always trusted his younger brother: "That's true. Listening to the teachings of our senior masters is also a good way to learn. Besides, our master and senior masters haven't given any instructions yet, so as a junior, we naturally can't leave without permission."

The two little birds were whispering to each other, thinking they were having a private conversation, but in reality, everyone present heard them. Yuanshi, who heard Kong Xuan's last sentence, couldn't help but nod. Such respect for teachers and the importance of etiquette—Kong Xuan was indeed admirable.

The Great Immortals present exchanged knowing smiles, and their conversation turned to what moves they could use if they were to fight Rahu again, what insights they had gained from the moves they usually used, and how they could be used in the cultivation of the Great Dao.

Kong Xuan was overjoyed, and Dapeng had no choice but to suppress his distractions and listen to the lesson. Only Ao Bing, who couldn't understand at all, revealed his mosquito-coil eyes and was just about to sneak off onto Dapeng's head when he turned around and bumped into a fiery red bead.

Meanwhile, Hongyun silently arrived at the top of the ginseng fruit tree, where a small patch of red clouds was hidden.

Yuan Yi woke up from his dream and found the clouds beneath him to be incredibly soft, so he idly browsed the player forum. Hearing Hong Yunlai's voice, he peeked out from the clouds and chuckled softly, "Brother's clouds are still the softest. I haven't slept this comfortably in a long time."

Now that Hongyun had come up, Yuanyi felt too embarrassed to continue sleeping on the bed. She had previously delegated the work to her two disciples, and now it was her turn as their master to clean up the mess.

Hongyun said gently, "You've really had a hard time these past few days. There's no need to be in such a hurry. Take a good rest before you go to see your fellow Daoists."

"I've rested enough. A friend just bombarded me with dozens of ugly photos of Rahu's defeat, and I haven't been able to sleep since." Yuan Yi shook his head and pulled up the screenshots of Rahu's defeat that Tiandao had sent him.

At the very bottom, the Heavenly Dao was subtly cursing Luo Hou, saying he was truly no good, but he actually quite enjoyed the scene of players beating up Luo Hou. Ideally, Luo Hou would stay in the dungeon for a very long time, harassed by various minor demons year after year, becoming a permanent fixture in the dungeon.

Yuan Yi naturally declined. She had only been playing the game for a few days, and the players had already figured out how to defeat Rahu. Putting aside whether the players would get bored if it continued for too long, the merit points she had personally spent would definitely not be enough to sustain the game, and the currency system would collapse. There was no need to let Rahu affect the long-term operation of the entire game.

[Besides, being beaten for too long will build up resistance. It's better to let him remain imprisoned for tens of millions of years as before. If he causes trouble again in the future, we can simply replicate the events.] Yuan Yi then listed many other methods of punishment that the Heavenly Dao had never considered, each of which broadened the Heavenly Dao's horizons.

He was about to say that he should use all of these on Luo Hou first, and deal with the rest later. Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Hongjun took over the Heavenly Dao account, leaving behind only a single word: "Okay".

Seeing that familiar tone, Yuan Yi naturally knew that the account had changed hands again. Knowing this, she left a message saying she would proceed as planned and then exited the game.

At this moment, Hongyun also remembered that he should come to the sky to pick up his sister. Zhen Yuanzi knew that Yuanyi was right above his original form, so he was not in a hurry and continued to calmly instruct and test Dapeng and Kongque.

Like a crimson cloud appearing from the heavens, Yuan Yi descended from the sky. In the short time it took to play a game, Yuan Yi sported a new hairstyle, clearly the work of the crimson cloud. However, the jade hairpin that Tongtian had given him had now completely turned purple.

She had just been enjoying the breeze and gazing at the clouds from the big tree when her brother Hongyun brought her to a group of friends. Fortunately, the ginseng fruit tree wasn't too insulated from her, and she knew everything that had happened under the tree.

Yuan Yi glanced at the two little guys, one red and one white. One was held in Kong Xuan's hand, while the other was lazily lying on the top of Dapeng's head. Just by looking at the dim light of the spirit pearl and Ao Bing's red head, he knew that the two little guys must have had a fight in private.

Fortunately, his two senior brothers, Kong Xuan and Da Peng, were quick-witted and separated the two early on, preventing any disaster from happening.

Nuwa noticed that her own treasure had been arrested for bullying someone else's disciple again. She summoned back the Spirit Pearl and tried to use the same trick to give it to Yuan Yi: "I see that he also likes to make a ruckus at Wuzhuang Temple. Why don't you take this wicked child in, fellow Daoist? It would be a good way to fulfill their destiny."

Nuwa still remembered the time when she had used the Spirit Pearl as collateral for a lottery, only for it to return on its own. Now that she had the Demon-Summoning Banner at hand and saw Yuan Yi staring intently at the Spirit Pearl, Nuwa decided to take advantage of the situation and send the Spirit Pearl away again.

Why bring this up again? Yuan Yi quickly waved her hand: "No, taking in Dapeng and Kong Xuan as disciples is already the limit. How can I possibly take in new disciples?" She knew nothing about cultivation. Dapeng and Kong Xuan were both self-taught. If another Nezha were to come along, she really couldn't handle it.

However, since Nuwa had spoken, Yuan Yi still left some room for maneuver: "This child is just beginning to develop his intelligence, so he is bound to be a little confused. If you are worried, why not let him cultivate with Kong Xuan in Wuzhuang Temple for a while, so that the fate of these two little ones can be fulfilled."

Yuan Yi pointed at Ao Bing and Ling Zhuzi. Just as the two were talking, Kong Xuan released Ling Zhuzi again. The pearl seemed to be aiming at Ao Bing, and kept flying towards the head of the roc.

The roc squinted, enduring the extreme heat of ice and fire above its head. The pearl and the dragon on its head were locked in a fierce battle, each trying to take a bite out of the other.

Unfortunately, these two little guys were too weak in the eyes of the Great Immortals present, and they looked like a joke.

Nuwa then realized that Yuan Yi was reluctant to accept the spirit pearl because he was thinking of the little dragon at home, and she sighed inwardly, realizing that they were not destined to be together. However, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let this impetuous pearl learn at Wuzhuang Temple for a while, so she nodded in agreement.

With the unexpected incident resolved, Dapeng finally had the leisure to separate the two little creatures on his head. He squinted and tried to stuff them into his mouth. The two little creatures trembled in fear and dared not cause any more trouble, so he stopped.

Dapeng is more capable. In the future, the teaching of these two little guys will have to be arranged properly by Kong Xuan and Dapeng working together.

But all that will have to wait until later. Right now, with friends gathered, the great battle won, and the villains punished, it's time to celebrate properly.

Yuan Yi smiled slightly, remembering that she had a small game that was halfway finished. Then she took out a series of clothes and dresses, some elaborate and some simple, from her bag and offered her suggestions with a light laugh:

"We've been playing for so long, everyone must be tired. How about we play a little game to relax?"
