Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Xiao Ya’s Dilemma

“Long Ren Troop, defeated!”

“Long Chi Troop, victorious!”

“Long Chi Troop with two wins and zero losses, currently ranked first!”

…

“Fuck! Seriously?” The members of the Canglang Unit were all shocked. If Long Chi defeating Dragon Soul was down to luck, then their subsequent victory over Long Ren couldn’t be simply chalked up to luck.

Dragon Soul was not only powerful in its own right but had also received a military gear pack the previous night. Even with the military gear pack, they were still effortlessly taken down by the Long Chi Unit.

“It seems this year’s Long Chi shouldn’t be underestimated,” said Instructor Ye Chu with narrowed eyes. He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and spoke softly.

Blood Rose twisted her waist into a heart-stopping curve as she walked up to Ye Chu, knelt beside him, and leaned on him, completely disregarding the odd looks from others.

“Big Brother Ye, how many do you reckon Long Chi lost in their win against Long Ren?”

Ye Chu replied, “At least half their men are down.”

Blood Rose’s seductive eyes flickered as she spoke softly, “So, if we attack now, could we take them down and play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada?”

“Eh!” Ye Chu’s eyes lit up, he wrapped his arm around Blood Rose’s supple waist, and planted a firm kiss on her fair face, laughing heartily, “Why didn’t I think of that? Yes, if we rush over now and catch them off guard, we will surely be able to take them down smoothly.”

Ye Chu stood up and looked in the direction where Long Ren Troop had earlier split off, saying, “It’s time for our Canglang Unit to show its strength!”

…

“Do you think you’re all that great?” Li Xiaoyao’s words, cool as water, instantly sobered up the excited faces of Jin Gang and the others.

Li Xiaoyao’s gaze swept over everyone’s faces and he said, “If it comes down to one-on-one combat, you and Long Ren Troop are pretty evenly matched; winning would be a difficult task. This time, your easy victory is thanks to Shi Tou who spotted Long Ren first, giving you ample time to hide and catch the enemy unawares, taking down fifteen of them.”

“Simply put, your victory this time was down to luck.”

“But luck won’t always be on your side. Strength is the crux; without it, everything is as fleeting and elusive as flowers in a mirror or the moon reflected in water. Tactics have a shelf life too.”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Li Xiaoyao was not trying to belittle them; he said this simply because he didn’t want them to become too arrogant and lose perspective.

Indeed, having managed to take down both Dragon Soul and Long Ren Troop in the first two days of the military district competition, and with Long Ren even having had a military gear pack, Long Chi Troop’s achievement of victory with zero casualties was something to be proud of.

However, Li Xiaoyao hoped they would remain calm; only a calm person can judge all information correctly and objectively.

The overall strength of Long Chi is only top three among the ten military districts; their true advantage lay in Li Xiaoyao himself.

Without Li Xiaoyao, once Long Chi encountered units like the Dragon Group or Canglang, they would be doomed without a doubt, with no exceptions.

Of course, now that Long Chi had defeated Long Ren and taken their firearms and ammunition, its strength had risen to a new level. Even if they met the Dragon Group or Canglang, it wasn’t certain they would lose.

“Boss, we got too carried away,” Jin Gang said, bowing his head in shame. He had never truly respected anyone in all his years in the army, but Li Xiaoyao was the first person he had fully acknowledged. He would listen intently to everything Li Xiaoyao said, and this time was no exception.

Li Xiaoyao nodded, having achieved his aim, and then said, “Alright, continue with your cultivation, we’ll head out again tonight.”

The group laid their firearms and ammunition flat on the ground, covering all the Pill Medicine with their clothing to shield it from the desert’s high temperature and avoid any accidents.

Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged, feeling the infuriatingly sparse Spiritual Energy in the air and couldn’t help but sigh.

The Spiritual Energy here was too rarefied, making Cultivation extremely difficult.

After fighting Ouyang Gu for three hundred rounds in the combat space, Li Xiaoyao’s control over his body movement had reached a new realm.

The martial arts technique for body movement that Li Xiaoyao practiced was called Running Thunder, a Mortal Rank Ninth Grade technique.

Running Thunder was divided into four realms: Basic, Acute, Perfect, and Intent.

Now that Li Xiaoyao had continuously battled with Ouyang Gu, his body movement had long since reached Acute.

At the Basic level, the focus was on speed, pure speed.

Once reaching Acute, one could respond most appropriately in the shortest time possible during combat.

Perfect, on the other hand, allowed one to use the surroundings, objects nearby, even a rock, a leaf, to achieve flawless avoidance of attacks.

…

In a villa in Jindu, a woman in a professional skirt sat tiredly on a wooden chair, slightly tilting her head back, her delicate fingers softly massaging her temples.

“Shameless Tang Family,” the woman exhaled softly after a long while, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of anger.

This woman was Xiao Ya, who, after Li Xiaoyao eliminated Zheng Family’s guardian deity Yang Tianren, stayed in Jindu as per Li Xiaoyao’s instructions, ready to annex the Zheng Family in one fell swoop.

The task wasn’t difficult, with the Xiao Family backed by a powerhouse like Li Xiaoyao, no clan would foolishly oppose her.

But Xiao Ya had been too optimistic.

The vast landscape of families in Jindu was complexly interwoven, and even Xiao Ya couldn’t completely untangle it.

Just as she was preparing to move against the Zheng Family, the traditionally low-profile Tang Family suddenly emerged, throwing a wrench into her plans, attempting to snatch away the prize from the mouth of the Xiao Family.

And the Zheng Family, which had already agreed to submit to the Xiao Family, voiced opposition at this critical junction.

Xiao Ya had been in continuous contact with the Zheng Family and Tang Family these days. Initially, her tone was gentle, but as both families became increasingly stubborn, Xiao Ya’s demeanor shifted in turn.

Today, during a meeting with the person in charge of the Tang Family, they made it clear that they would not let go of the Zheng Family’s territory, advising Xiao Ya to give up early. Naturally, Xiao Ya was not about to give up, and she also issued her stern warning—if the Tang Family persisted in this course, it would mean going against the Xiao Family, and they would bear the consequences!

The Tang Family didn’t care about Xiao Ya’s threats.

After all, the Xiao Family really couldn’t be considered top-tier in Jindu.

Perhaps it was because Li Xiaoyao had smoothed the path for her in the past that she had become accustomed to successes, leading to the current situation which Xiao Ya found slightly out of her control.

“Would they dare speak to me like this if you were by my side?” Mocking herself with a laugh, Xiao Ya cast aside these distracting thoughts and stood up, returning to the bedroom.
