When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 730 294 The Weakest of the Same Level_3

"In the end, he didn't give anything," Li Xiu said.

"Didn't give anything?" Lao Qian seemed skeptical. If the old man really didn't give anything, how could Li Xiu specifically come to see him?

"Yes, nothing at all," Li Xiu replied with a smile. "I heard you have a nickname as the weakest among your peers and practice the Illusion Sword, so I was curious and wanted to check you out."

"Did the result leave you disappointed, Commander Li?" Lao Qian said coldly.

"No, I was surprised. At your age, you've already comprehended the Realm of Life Illusion. Not only aren't you the weakest among your peers, you're a huge talent. So, I've agreed to your joining the Technician Group," Li Xiu said.

"Commander Li, you've agreed, but I haven't. I never said I would join your Technician Group," Lao Qian replied coldly.

"Whether you agree or not doesn't matter. Since I want you, you are already part of the Technician Group," Li Xiu smiled.

"Sorry, I won't join the Technician Group," Lao Qian said steadfastly.

"No, you will," Li Xiu replied.

"What gives you the right to decide my life? Who do you think you are? Not even the old man can decide my life. What do you think you are? You don't have that qualification," Lao Qian was a bit irritated.

"Your life? Are you sure this is your life?" Li Xiu smiled enigmatically at Lao Qian.

Lao Qian suddenly froze, his face gradually becoming unpleasant as if he realized something.

"Impossible!" Lao Qian summoned the Illusion Sword again and swung a slash towards Li Xiu.

The next second, Li Xiu's figure disappeared under the Illusion Sword, and the surroundings seemed to change a little.

"Illusion in Illusion!" Lao Qian saw the real Li Xiu sitting by his table drinking tea, his face looking even worse.

He was now unable to be sure if the Li Xiu in front of him and everything here was real or illusory, whether this was another Illusion Realm, or if since the moment he met Li Xiu, he had already entered an Illusion Realm.

Illusion within an Illusion, this Illusion Technique was something Lao Qian had thought about before, but he didn't know how to do it. Even Li Xiu could talk to him in the Illusion Realm, which was even more incredible.

Now he didn't know if he was real or illusory, with an impulse to stab himself with a sword to see if he could die.

"Remember to come to my office tomorrow for the paperwork. From now on, you are part of my Technician Group," Li Xiu tossed an invitation card to Lao Qian, then stood up and said, "But I'll leave the Sword Soul Gate for you to guard yourself in the future. I believe with your ability, that's completely not a problem."

With those words, Li Xiu walked out through the railings, disappearing down the path of Wansheng Town.

Until Li Xiu's figure was gone, Lao Qian still couldn't be certain whether he was in reality or in the Illusion Realm set by Li Xiu.

"Is that guy... a devil?" Lao Qian muttered with a complex expression.

Li Xiu walked back on the road, in quite a good mood, because aside from the Vase Monster, he finally found another person who could cross the Spiritual Sense line. This indicated that although people who could cross the Spiritual Sense line were rare, there were indeed some, meaning he wasn't a mutant, nor a monster, just someone relatively rare.

Only Li Xiu still couldn't be sure whether Lao Qian's Spiritual Sense was innate or crossing the line was due to a post-training enhancement from the Illusion Sword.

If it was post-training crossing the line, that would be interesting. Perhaps by researching Lao Qian and his Illusion Sword, a method to allow ordinary Magic Armor Masters to cross the line could be discovered, which would be fascinating.

Currently, Magic Armor Masters are too weak for Li Xiu, to the point he has no interest nor opponents. If Spiritual Sense could be cultivated post-training, creating more Magic Armor Masters who can cross the line, or ones that could rival or even surpass him, Li Xiu would be immensely pleased, as a game without opponents is quite boring.

No matter what, Lao Qian is someone he's determined to have. Not only because the old undying one begged him to recruit Lao Qian but even if the old undying one disagreed, he would still find a way to get Lao Qian into his Technician Group.

Lao Qian's mastery of the Illusory Sword clearly integrated Spiritual Sense and Light Energy, unlike the Vase Monster's Ghostly Eye Covering, which was purely Spiritual Sense externalization.

It's just Lao Qian himself hasn't realized this problem yet, he probably doesn't know that comprehending the Realm of Life Illusion requires a strong Spiritual Sense as a foundation, not just a simple Trial Taker skill.

This inspired some thoughts in Li Xiu, thinking that if a special contract could unify Spiritual Sense and Light Energy, perhaps he could directly unify Spiritual Sense and Light Energy.

Of course, this requires more research, at least to first study the characteristics of that Illusion Sword.

"What kind of blind person would think someone as talented as Lao Qian was one big dud?" Li Xiu thought Lao Qian should definitely be part of his Technician Group, his strong Spiritual Sense should be utilized in controlling Demon Armor.

"Perhaps Lao Qian himself doesn't know how strong his talent in being a Magic Armor Master is. Should I get him a Demon Armor set to let him taste the sweetness first?" Li Xiu secretly plotted. If Lao Qian could become a Magic Armor Master, then the old officer wouldn't only focus on him alone anymore, and he wouldn't personally have to attend those Demon Armor tests.

"If Lao Qian doesn't come tomorrow, I'll go and grab him myself, letting him taste the Endless Illusion Realm. Since it's something he created, he should try it first. Can't blame me for that, as the Life Illusion isn't my invention. If there's blame, it can only be on him," Li Xiu considered himself someone particularly reasonable.
