Chapter 872: You Have to Be Slapped When You’re Lazy (2)

“You will train them?” Shen Yanxiao could not conceal her excitement.

“Yes.”

“Please train them!” Shen Yanxiao thought that she looked no different from when Qi Xia hugged his grandfather’s thighs.

“Sure.” Xiu was suddenly exceptionally easy to talk to.

However, just as Shen Yanxiao was about to cheer, Xiu’s next words pushed her against the wall.

“When you advance to your second cla.s.s promotion, I will train your army.”

“Second cla.s.s promotion?” Shen Yanxiao blinked. It seemed like she was already on the verge of advancing to an Advanced Professional when the fifth layer of the seal was undone. However, she had not cultivated much during that period, so her progress was slow.

One could only advance to the second cla.s.s promotion after they became an Advanced Professional, and the requirements for that were extremely harsh.

How many geniuses in the Brilliance Continent had been stuck at the level of an Advanced Professional below the second cla.s.s promotion?

The second cla.s.s promotion was the dividing line between the strong and the weak. Only those who had gone through the second cla.s.s promotion could reach new heights.

Shen Yanxiao was not sure how long it would take for her to reach the second cla.s.s promotion, but the bait that Xiu had thrown out was very tempting!

She needed strength, but she knew that she would not be able to stand at the peak if she were to rely on her strength alone. Therefore, she had to train her army. That way, even if she were to fall out with the Longxuan Empire or the Blue Moon Dynasty in the future, she would still be able to withstand their attacks.

“But that should take a long time, right?” She suspected that she would not even have the chance to go through her second cla.s.s promotion once Oriental City was completed.

“How would you know if you don’t give it a try?”

“That’s true.” Shen Yanxiao scratched her head. Even though Xiu’s words were a little harsh, she knew that he was thinking for her sake.

“In that case, I shall focus on my training.” Shen Yanxiao acted like an obedient child, but her heart was bursting with joy. Even though she did not know Xiu’s background, this felt like hugging an omnipotent thigh. It would be a waste not to hug it.

“Not here,” Xiu suddenly said.

“Ah?” Shen Yanxiao blinked. Where else could they go if they would not train there?

“There are plenty of places in the Forsaken Land for you to increase your strength. You can only stimulate more of your potential when you are in adversity. Sun Never Sets is too easy for you.” Xiu did not intend for Shen Yanxiao to continue to stay in Sun Never Sets. Even if she wanted to cultivate in peace, it would be difficult.

If she were to stay in the city, details of the construction of Oriental City would constantly be relayed to her. Additionally, the location of the mineral reserves was still a matter of grave importance. And soon, Shen Yanxiao would have to sign a contract with the merchants who were prepared to trade with Sun Never Sets. Furthermore, there was also the unknown sage…

A lot of things revolved around Shen Yanxiao so her training would definitely be disrupted.

That was not what Xiu wanted.

“Are you encouraging me to ignore my responsibilities?” Shen Yanxiao wrinkled her eyebrows. To be honest, she also wanted to look around the Forsaken Land, but unfortunately, the responsibilities on her shoulders were just piling on endlessly.

“Why not? Du Lang, Uncle Nine, Qi Xia, and the others are already capable of holding their own. Even if you do not appear for some time, with them around, nothing will happen to the two cities,” Xiu said patiently.

“Then let’s do this! I will give them some instructions tomorrow, and then I will call for Vermilion Bird.” As someone who had just been whipped and lectured by a certain Great Master, Shen Yanxiao was sensible enough to agree to Xiu’s proposal.

She did not doubt that Xiu would form a body to carry her out of Sun Never Sets if she tried to resist.
