Chapter 431: Chapter 431 Dragon Soul
Li Xiaoyao, while he held enemy strategy in contempt, always took enemy tactics seriously.
Those who were touted as top combat geniuses in various troops were, in Li Xiaoyao’s eyes, merely cultivators who had learned methods of killing. Their power wasn’t too formidable, mostly oscillating between the Abstinence Realm and the Spirit Cultivation Realm.
Such realms hardly warranted Li Xiaoyao’s concern.
His tactics were simple: to use his psychic abilities to locate the enemy, then lead his team to strike swiftly and catch the enemy off guard.
It must be said, Li Xiaoyao’s psychic abilities were incredibly rogue, much like a cheat device.
Even an ordinary person, if they had such psychic powers and took a bit of care, could become a king in the desert. All the more so for a cultivator like Li Xiaoyao, whose cultivation level was already formidable.
The group stayed in the desert quietly cultivating, when Li Xiaoyao’s eyelids suddenly twitched and he looked into the distance—beyond the stretches of the desert, there appeared to be nothing.
Yet beneath Li Xiaoyao’s psychic probing, he distinctly saw a team of about twenty people slowly advancing, approximately eight kilometers away.
They moved in the opposite direction to where Li Xiaoyao and his people were. If it had been any later, they would have left the range of Li Xiaoyao’s psychic scanning.
“Follow me!” Li Xiaoyao stood up and, after dropping that comment, he started walking towards the direction of the people.
The Jin Gang group, abruptly awakened by Li Xiaoyao’s call, looked at him bewildered. Seeing that he had already quickly moved on, they hurriedly got up and followed swiftly.
“Instructor Li, where are we going?” Jin Gang asked, gazing at the sinking sun in the west.
Without turning back, Li Xiaoyao replied, “The temperature now is suitable for hunting.”
Well, that explanation was irrefutable.
Having cultivated energetically for over an hour, the group was full of vigor, capable of walking through the desert for a day and a night without feeling fatigued.
Meanwhile, the troop that Li Xiaoyao had set his sights on remained oblivious, chatting and laughing as they moved along.
“It’s said that the Dragon Group has produced a genius.” The man stood two meters tall, boasting a robust physique akin to a small mountain, his voice buzzing and causing vibrations in the listeners’ eardrums.
A person beside him spoke disdainfully, “Genius-schmenius. If I run into him, I’d smash his head with one punch.”
“Keep blowing your own trumpet,” the muscular man scoffed. “I’ve heard that the genius from the Dragon Group is only twenty-nine years old and his cultivation level has already reached the Fifth Rank of the Abstinence Realm. Moreover, he’s cultivated some secret technique that enables him to challenge those at higher levels. Reliable sources say this guy has even defeated a Seventh Rank cultivator of the Abstinence Realm.”
The others showed expressions of surprise upon hearing this.
“Is that for real? A Fifth Rank defeating a Seventh Rank in the Abstinence Realm? Is this guy even human?”
“That dude is a freak,” the muscular man declared. “If we really run into him, none of us here could match him.”
“Pff, what’s there to be scared of? If it came down to it, we could just gang up on him and take him out first.”
The instructor, who had been silent, now said, “Don’t get too careless. As for the person Fang Chao mentioned, I’ve heard of him. They say he’s a monk, seems to go by the name Yi Kong. His cultivation talent is extremely terrifying. Unless necessary, we absolutely must not confront them head-on.”
“A monk? The Dragon Group sure is full of freaks.”
“No worries, Long Chi Troop is at the bottom anyway. Let’s just find them first, take them out, and ensure we don’t finish in last place,” someone suggested.
The instructor nodded, “Long Chi Troop has been at the bottom for consecutive years, they really are quite weak. If we’re lucky, we might just bump into them.”
Hearing this, the group showed a hint of a smile, as if the Long Chi Troop was already within their grasp.

About five kilometers away from them, Li Xiaoyao was leading his people toward their location.
Li Xiaoyao suddenly stopped, his eyes fixed on the sand at his feet where there were several very shallow footprints.
“Footprints!” Wood’s eyes lit up, tracking was his forte. Following these footprints, he quickly found others and after judging them, he stood up and looked forward, saying, “It’s this direction. Based on the depth of the footprints, they should be about three to five kilometers away.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes immediately brightened.
“Is it possible to know which military area they’re from?”
Wood had a black line across his forehead: “I’m not a fortune teller.”
Li Xiaoyao suddenly said, “I am.”
“Instructor Li, you know how to tell fortunes?”
“Really?”
“Boss, how come you know everything?”
Li Xiaoyao didn’t mind them, closed his eyes and pretended to calculate with his fingers, then opened his eyes and said, “Dragon Soul Troop.”
“Dragon Soul?” Jin Gang squinted his eyes and said, “Ranked fifth in the last session, the Dragon Soul Troop has no strong members. Last year, the highest cultivation level was just the Ninth Rank of the Condensation Realm. In one year’s time, they have probably just broken through to the first rank of the Abstinence Realm.”
“Let’s go!”
The group marched grandly towards the location of the Dragon Soul Troop. Along the way, Li Xiaoyao continued to use his thoughts to scout, but within ten kilometers, other than the Dragon Soul Troop, there was no sign of any other forces.
It was quite a regret.
Li Xiaoyao’s original intention was to directly locate the other nine teams so Jin Gang and the others could get some good practice. After all, cultivation level rises the fastest amidst fierce battles.
This military competition was practically tailor-made for them. Li Xiaoyao roughly estimated that after this military competition, the cultivation level of these boys, on average, should have no problem increasing by two realms.
The Dragon Soul Troop moved aimlessly through the desert. Although there seemed to be no threat nearby, they maintained a good formation to keep a panoramic view of their surroundings.
“There’s something!” Suddenly, the man at the rear said with a grave expression.
Everyone turned around sharply, their gazes intense. The instructor came up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The man stared at the endless desert in the distance, squinting his eyes and saying, “It should be some troop. I’m not sure which one, but I can feel that they are rapidly approaching us, at a distance of about two kilometers.”
“Hmm?” The instructor stroked his chin and after a few seconds of thought, immediately said, “Everyone scatter and hide immediately. As long as they’re not from the Long Chi and Cang Lang, follow my hand signals.”
In the instructor’s view, among the nine troops, only Cang Lang and Long Chi truly posed a threat to them. Apart from these, the other seven troops were all worth a fight. And if they encountered a troop like Long Chi, it was almost as if victory was declared.
Hiding in the desert is a very simple task. People scattered, either burying their bodies in the sand or hiding behind a cactus that was taller than a person.
A gust of wind came, blowing across the desert and lifting a cloud of yellow sand.
The rustling sound of shoe soles contacting the sand was heard from afar, slowly drawing nearer.
A pair of eyes hidden behind the sand or the cactus, like those of an eagle, quickly focused in the direction of the sound.
