CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 194: XIAO ER_3

"No, I mean keep practicing until you can see the difference," Li Xiu said.

"This..." Xiao Er was a bit dumbfounded.

"Alright, practice on your own, and come find me when you can see the difference." Li Xiu stood up and left.

"This guy... is he messing with me?" Xiao Er was skeptical. He really couldn’t figure out the difference between the Military Boxing performed by his Sword and Shield Soldier and the one performed by Li Xiu’s Black Death Demon.

For several days in a row, Xiao Er kept practicing Military Boxing with the Sword and Shield Soldier, but he still couldn’t see any difference between the two.

Every time Li Xiu came, he would demonstrate the Legion Fist with the Black Death Demon and then watch Xiao Er do the same with the Sword and Shield Soldier. Afterward, he wouldn’t say a word and just told Xiao Er to keep practicing before leaving.

At first, Xiao Er felt confident that there was nothing wrong, and that his Military Boxing was exactly the same, not a hair’s breadth difference.

However, as Li Xiu continued to tell him to look carefully and think clearly, his confidence started to waver after many attempts: "I spent fifty million to have him teach me, no matter how greedy he is, he should teach me something. Surely he wouldn’t really deceive me like this? Is there truly a difference that I haven’t discovered?"

Xiao Er opened his phone and watched the video of Li Xiu demonstrating Military Boxing with the Black Death Demon again. He wasn’t foolish; he recorded during Li Xiu’s second demonstration and each demonstration thereafter.

He compared the videos and performed Military Boxing once again with the Sword and Shield Soldier, but still couldn’t see any difference.

After leaving the indoor venue, Li Xiu went to see Chu Jun, who said he had gathered information about Good Luck Slope.

"The situation over at Good Luck Slope might be a little complicated," Chu Jun said helplessly.

"What’s going on?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

"I asked the old man from my family. At first, he didn’t want to say anything, but later, when I pressured him, he reluctantly disclosed a little bit. He still doesn’t know the background of the family living at Good Luck Slope, but back when the people from Long-life Heaven came to White Night City and wanted the Chu Family to join them, it was the owner of Good Luck Slope who chased the Long-life Heaven people away." Chu Jun explained the details.

Developing White Night City has been quite difficult.

Like Space City, the territorial range of White Night City lacks abundant Gemstone resources, so it’s considered a very barren place. Decades ago, no one thought much of White Night City, which is why it had no choice but to embark on the Magic Armor Manufacturing path.

However, as Magic Armor technology progressed, White Night City gradually gained momentum. There was a time when Long-life Heaven people came to White Night City, intending to have the city’s ruler then, who is now the old man of the Chu Family, join Long-life Heaven.

The Chu Family’s old man was naturally unwilling to surrender his hard-won domain to others.

But as it turned out, the person from Long-life Heaven easily defeated all of White Night City’s Magic Armor Masters with just one set of Demon Armor, and it was a crushing defeat with a significant gap in skill.

The situation was dire when the Chu Family’s old man, for the sake of his family’s legacy, was about to negotiate terms to join Long-life Heaven. Yet at that time, someone found him and offered to help drive away the Long-life Heaven people, asking only for Rolling Dragon Slope, which is now known as Good Luck Slope.

"The old man didn’t have much faith in that person back then, but there was no other choice, so he treated a dead horse as if it were alive and agreed to give Rolling Dragon Slope to that person. Later, that person did indeed help us drive away the Long-life Heaven people, and since then, no one from Long-life Heaven has bothered us again," Chu Jun said with a smile. "Since then, the Chu Family truly began to soar, and now, in the Magic Armor Manufacturing Industry, it’s second only to Space City."

"How did that person manage to drive away Long-life Heaven’s people?" Li Xiu asked, intrigued. Given the power of Long-life Heaven, it seemed impossible for them to be driven away so easily, and for them to ignore such a juicy piece of land like White Night City for so many years seemed unbelievable.

"You might not believe it, but after the old man agreed to the person’s conditions, he just had the old man bring some paper and a pen and then wrote a word for the old man to show the people from Long-life Heaven. After seeing it, their expressions changed drastically, and they left without saying a word, never to return," Chu Jun said with a bitter smile. "When I heard the old man tell this story, it felt like hearing a tale, but the old man wouldn’t joke about this sort of thing—the story has to be real."

"What word did he write?" Li Xiu asked thoughtfully.

"Just a simple word ’spirit,’ not a special name or symbol. That word is still hanging in the old man’s study. I used to see it often when I was a kid and thought it was some famous person’s calligraphy, never imagining its incredible power, enough to make Long-life Heaven retreat," Chu Jun said.

"Such a person, I rather want to meet him. What does the old man say, can we go see him?" Li Xiu asked.

"You can try. If the owner is willing to open the door and let you in, then you can go and take a look, but you’ll need to follow their house rules. If they don’t open the door, you absolutely can’t force your way in."

"Alright then, get ready, and we’ll go to Good Luck Slope and try our luck."

"I’ve already arranged everything I had to handle, nothing much to prepare, we can leave anytime," Chu Jun paused, looking at Li Xiu and asking, "Do you need to explain anything to Xiao Er?"

"Nothing much to explain, just let him continue practicing," Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Honestly, what’s the difference between his manipulation and yours? He came to me two days ago, showed me your video and his video, and I couldn’t see any difference. Where exactly is he lacking?" Chu Jun asked curiously.

"Who said he’s lacking?" Li Xiu countered.

"Then why make him practice that thing over and over?" Chu Jun asked, puzzled.

"There’s nothing to teach him for now, so let him practice first. Once I figure out what to teach him, we’ll start officially," Li Xiu said.

"You can do that? You’re really something," Chu Jun said, wide-eyed.

"I have no choice; he’s too talented. I can’t think of anything to teach him at the moment. But since he paid so much money, I can’t let him just wait around, so I’d let him practice for now to pass the time," Li Xiu spread his hands.

"Alas, poor Xiao Er," Chu Jun said, unable to suppress a bitter smile.
