Chapter 91: Chapter 91

Oh… Can I only manipulate swords at class C?

But that means… I can do it!

Lu Shu never fully harnessed the abilities of the celestial map from the start. Previously, he thought that once students of the Daoyuan class reach class E, they would be able to learn skills like sword manipulation. Hearing Li Xianyi’s words now, sword manipulation was actually a complex skill.

Was class C considered high? Of course it was! Even B class metahumans were considered as rare and leading characters in the metahuman community. How weak could class C be?

Although practitioners were improving rapidly in this environment where the magical energy was increasing and someday someone might breakthrough into Class A, there was none now. If the skills of the few people of Class B were classified as god-bestowed, the people of Class C could at least be classified as gifted.

But Lu Shu was thinking of a question. His sword manipulation technique was rather different in concept compared to Li Xianyi’s.

Just based on the previous move by Li Xianyi, even if he was manipulating a petal instead of a sword, he could kill without batting an eyelid. Lu Shu, on the other hand, could only manipulate The Corpse Dog and this was only due to it being created by himself, so there was probably some sort of chemistry between them.

Although he had a shortcut to manipulating swords, having been able to do it as a class E, he could not manipulate other objects. His manipulation of The Corpse Dog was also not sustainable.

The mastery of sword manipulation improves together with his mastery of his celestial abilities. As he trains more, he could someday manipulate objects with much more ease.

Lu Shu would not tell Li Xianyi that he could already manipulate swords, that would only bring him trouble. However, he thought that if he could learn it early on his own, it would be quite helpful when he learns it openly in future.

Others might start from absolutely nothing, but not him.

Today, Lu Shu instructed Lu Xiaoyu to learn attentively so she could take a nap in the afternoon. Based on his calculations, Lu Xiaoyu would very likely breakthrough the first nebula tonight. Lu Shu decided to let her attain this milestone on her own, before investigating Lu Xiaoyu’s skill changes together.

Since he could summon The Corpse Dog in the past, there would surely be some change in Lu Xiaoyu when she completes her first nebula.

…

Li Xianyi sat in his garden peacefully, and beside him was Lu Xiaoyu, self-studying a Chinese textbook.

He received news that The Golden Foundation had received resistance and disapproval from the governments from some other countries. Compared to those places, the domestic attitude towards The Golden Foundation had been much more peaceful.

When it came to worldly issues, authority was never something which could be shared peacefully. The Golden Foundation had no ulterior motive, but as a huge organization, how could they have no resources for training? In the past, when magical energy was scarce and severely lacking, everyone trained with their life on the line.

Even if The Golden Foundation did not have the slightest ambition, how many people could condone them? The Golden Foundation was totally different from the United Nations as it possessed immense destructive power.

At that time, Li Xianyi would laugh at the people who claimed that training would lead to immortality. With so many duels and fights, who would still have the life to enjoy the benefits of immortality?

People who benefit from the nature of heaven and earth had to realize that there would come a time for them to give back. It wasn’t all about who had a shorter life, but it was just unrealistic to merely yearn for longevity.

But it was different now. It was the era of omnipresent magical energy and aura. The magical energy was constantly getting stronger and if Li Xianyi had been born decades later instead, he would probably be searching for the secrets to immortality.

Recently, apart from the sporadic appearance of remains everywhere, there were massive changes to many places. People were changing, the mountains were evolving, and even animals and plants were mutating in places rich in magical energy. Was there anything that would not change? Li Xianyi was unsure.

Under such circumstances, would The Golden Foundation change?

Li Xianyi’s greatest worry remains the same. What if there was conflict within The Golden Foundation?

There had already been suggestions for The Golden Foundation to gather training resources. They would definitely have to associate themselves with the remains. Without the capabilities to possess them, in what position were they to talk about peace and protection?

Li Xianyi did not know how much time he had left, so passing down his trade was something he always felt he had to do.

Li Xianyi turned around and looked at Lu Xiaoyu. If he could have her as his successor, many problems could be solved. Lu Xiaoyu was only 11. Even if she had spent most of her time with Lu Shu, there was still time to educate and reshape her.

This education refers to her personality and character.

If everyone was like Lu Shu, The Golden Foundation wouldn’t exist…

As Li Xianyi thought about this, Lu Xiaoyu had gone out and got back from buying some tidbits, “Eat them! Eat them! They’re all yours.”

Lu Xiaoyu did away with the formalities and ripped open a bag of chips, munching immediately after.

“Do you want to learn swordplay?” Li Xianyi asked again. Since this girl was greedy for food, I’ll bank on it.

Lu Xiaoyu declined the offer and asked cautiously, “But can I still continue eating?”

Lu Shu then received: “From Li Xianyi’s distress, +177”

Li Xianyi, rather annoyed, flailed his hand, “Eat it…”

She’s rather staunch in her principles!

Li Xianyi thought again before asking suddenly, “Did Lu Shu tell you not to learn swordplay from me yesterday?”

“Nope,” Lu Xiaoyu shook her head.

“Oh, that’s good,” Li Xianyi nodded her head. This little girl very obediently heeded Lu Shu’s every instruction. If Lu Shu did instruct her to not learn from him, he would never be able to have her as his disciple. Thinking here, Li Xianyi continued, “Actually your aptitude…”

Before Li Xianyi finished, Lu Xiaoyu rudely interrupted, “He told me the day before.”

Li Xianyi, “???”

Would it kill you to say everything at once?

As Lu Shu was flipping his chemistry textbook in class, another line came, “From Li Xianyi’s distress, +588”

Such high distress, could something have happened to the old man? After all, he is already so old! He decided to send a message to Lu Xiaoyu after some thinking, “If you angered the old man, console him…” He could not say it directly, and could only put it as such.

Lu Shu did not tell Lu Xiaoyu that he could gain distress points from other people to protect his authority as an older brother. He could never tell her that his distress points could be used to speed up training by obtaining celestial fruits through his system…

Moreover, if Lu Xiaoyu knew the truth, she would establish the link with him angering her for no reason occasionally…

Lu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and handed Li Xianyi a potato chip, “Here! For you!” To Lu Xiaoyu, sharing good food was the greatest consolation!

Li Xianyi felt appeased momentarily. This was the first time Lu Xiaoyu took the initiative to console him after angering him. He knew Lu Xiaoyu loved potato chips, and sharing her favorite with himself showed that Lu Xiaoyu actually appreciated him.

But just as he extended his arm, Lu Xiaoyu’s minute hands retracted and broke the potato chip into two halves, handing Li Xianyi one half. One half is enough to appease Li Xianyi!

As Lu Shu looked at his chemistry book, he was suddenly stunned.

“From Li Xianyi’s distress points, +666!”
