Yang Chen meant to suggest that Li Yelai should learn from the Doll and turn his curse, his own Calamity, into a weapon in combat.
Li Yelai actually tried this, but it wasn't very effective. At most, it could only disrupt the enemy.
At present, if we disregard the Principle "You Must Meet Strong Enemies," the most dangerous Calamity encounter Li Yelai faced was a runaway dump truck.
You can't expect to find a runaway dump truck for every fight, right? It wouldn't be good to harm innocent people.
Moreover, for those with a High Awakening as Spiritual Ability Users, a dump truck is not dangerous.
Someone as powerful as the Doll could swing a billboard and bat an oncoming dump truck out of the air.
What Abnormal Otherworld artifacts - they would be useless in front of her.
