CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 194 XIAO 2_2

This is not some demon spirit; it’s practically a small legion.

There are ten identical knights, ten identical sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, and archers, along with some special demon spirits that seem very high quality, including some with Radiant Quality.

Adding up these demon spirits, their number is probably sixty or seventy, yet Li Xiu doesn’t see that many Demon Spirit Rings on Xiao Er’s fingers.

"Teacher, all my demon spirits are here. The highest level ones are this Divine Wind Eagle and this Thunderbolt Divine Soldier, both are Radiant S-Class..." Xiao Er simply introduced his demon spirits one by one.

"You’ve collected so many different types of demon spirits to form a Demon Spirit Legion, right?" Li Xiu observed the spirits and asked.

"Exactly, but I don’t have the ability to finely control all the demon spirits in battle. Not to mention sixty or seventy, even a few spirits can’t be controlled as intricately as you do. Teacher, how do you manage that?" Xiao Er asked the most critical question right away, showing his strong purpose.

Li Xiu did not answer Xiao Er’s question but continued to ask, "Since you want to form a Demon Spirit Legion for combat, why didn’t you first level up the legion spirits, but instead upgraded the Divine Wind Eagle and Thunderbolt Divine Soldier to S-Class?"

"As a commander, the first priority is to stay alive. If I’m dead, what use is a strong legion? The Divine Wind Eagle is my mount, and the Thunderbolt Divine Soldier enhances my fighting ability; it’s all to ensure my own survival," answered Xiao Er.

Li Xiu nodded slightly, "Good thinking."

"Please advise me, teacher." Xiao Er said respectfully.

"If you can ensure your safety, meaning you already have the ability to defeat the enemy, why do you need this legion?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

Xiao Er immediately replied, "Surviving and defeating the enemy are not the same concept. Teacher, please don’t confuse the two. What I want to learn from you is demon spirit control, not how to choose which spirits to strengthen or how to win."

"Alright, since you think so, I’ll first teach you demon spirit control. Here is a chessboard with some pieces; the rules are like this..." Li Xiu explained, pointing at the chessboard and pieces he prepared.

"Kongming Chess, I could complete it when I was five," Xiao Er interrupted before Li Xiu could finish, calmly saying, "This trains calculation skills, which aren’t closely related to multi-line control. I have undergone a lot of training in this aspect, so my basics should be fine. Please teach me something deeper, teacher."

Li Xiu looked at Xiao Er, thinking, "This Xiao Er is really not easy to deal with. Five million won’t be easy to earn."

"Teacher, I really want to learn your multi-line control. Please make sure to teach me well," Xiao Er said earnestly.

"Alright, it seems your foundation is solid. We’ll start directly with demon spirit control." Li Xiu said somewhat frustratedly.

Xiao Er wants to learn multi-demon spirit control, but that requires strong spiritual sense. How should I teach Xiao Er? There’s currently no way to enhance spiritual sense, otherwise there wouldn’t be the saying of Destiny for the Magic Armor Masters.

"Thank you, teacher." Xiao Er gazed directly at Li Xiu, seeming to convey, "I’m not to be taken lightly, teacher; you better teach well."

"Put away all your demon spirits, just leave one," said Li Xiu.

Xiao Er recalled all his spirits, leaving only one Sword and Shield Soldier.

Only then did Li Xiu realize that Xiao Er removed most of the Demon Spirit Rings from his fingers and stored them in his pocket, leaving only one ring per finger.

"Teacher, what should I do next?" Xiao Er asked, staring intently at Li Xiu.

"Follow my lead." Li Xiu summoned a Black Death Demon, then had it perform a set of Military Boxing.

Xiao Er immediately had the Sword and Shield Soldier put down its weapons and perform the exact same set of Military Boxing with precision.

"Teacher, what’s next?" Xiao Er asked, looking at Li Xiu.

"Do it again." Li Xiu sat on a nearby bench, picked up a prepared teapot, and poured himself a cup.

"I don’t think it’s necessary. This basic control I have practiced countless times, doing it ten or a hundred more times will be the same, I won’t make a single mistake," Xiao Er said confidently.

"Are you the teacher, or am I? Why don’t you teach me instead?" Li Xiu put down the teacup and said.

"Of course, you are the teacher... but..." Xiao Er wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Li Xiu.

"No ’but,’ if you want to learn from me, just do as I say, or I’ll refund your money, and you can find someone better," Li Xiu said.

"Alright, then I’ll listen to you, teacher." Xiao Er controlled the Sword and Shield Soldier to perform the Military Boxing again.

"Exactly the same?" Li Xiu asked.

"Exactly the same," Xiao Er replied.

"Then keep at it," Li Xiu said with leisure.

"Teacher, how many more times do I have to do it?" Xiao Er asked with a frown.

Li Xiu held up one finger, Xiao Er nodded, "Once more, and then I’ll be done..."
