Chapter 13240 They Can't Kill Me

Ling Xiao's eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate the mist of time and space. His voice was low and magnetic, and he continued, "Imagine that on that battlefield shrouded in the smoke of war, a war that determines life and death is in full swing.

An army of 100,000, even if it is composed of mediocre people, may be able to gather into a fighting force that cannot be underestimated through close cooperation and discipline, just like the waves in the vast ocean, which are composed of countless drops of water but can create huge waves.

However, when this force faces the truly strong ones - those geniuses who can rewrite the situation of the war with their own strength, their role seems to be inadequate, just like the countless stars in the night sky, which are dazzling but can never compete with the bright moon.

Wang Zhenshou and Zhao Fuzhenshou, two leaders who should have been well versed in the art of employing personnel, appeared extremely careless and short-sighted when dealing with the genius who suddenly emerged.

They don't seem to realize that the value of a genius is not just reflected in his immediate military exploits and achievements, but also in his unlimited potential and the far-reaching impact it may bring.

Genius, like an unpolished jade, needs careful care and patient carving to shine the brightest. However, they have never given this genius the respect and understanding he deserves, nor have they tried to tap into his potential and desire deep in his heart.

Such an act is not only a huge loss to a genius who could lead the battle to victory, but also a heavy blow to the morale and faith of the entire team. Just imagine what kind of waves would surge in the hearts of other geniuses with extraordinary talents and potential when they see this scene?
Is it disappointment, anger, or deep worry about the future? They may begin to doubt whether the sweat and blood they shed on this land are worth it?

Once this sentiment spreads, it is very likely to cause more geniuses to become dissatisfied, and even choose to defect to other sides, becoming the enemy we least want to face. By then, it will be too late to save the situation and regret it.”

Ling Xiao's words were full of wisdom, earnest and sincere. Every word he said seemed to be carefully considered, and his logic was as clear as a carefully crafted string of beads, stringing together a series of convincing viewpoints.

This made Hua Shan nod slightly, with a gleam of approval in her eyes. Her clear eyes reflected her deep recognition of Ling Xiao's words, as if at this moment, the two of them had reached some kind of subtle resonance in their hearts.

She knew very well that in this world where martial arts were respected, every genius was a precious treasure bestowed by God. Their growth trajectories were like the brightest stars in the night sky, leading the trend of the times and illuminating the way forward.

Every performance of theirs may be the key to determining the outcome of a war, and may even shake the entire world and trigger a series of chain reactions.

Therefore, the cultivation and protection of these geniuses is particularly important, just like nurturing a precious seedling, which requires endless effort and wisdom.

When facing those monster-level characters who are superior to most geniuses, one must be even more cautious. They have extraordinary talents and potential, and once they are properly guided and cultivated, their achievements will be limitless.

But at the same time, if not handled properly, it may also become the source of a disaster. Therefore, we must be very careful in handling them, without any carelessness or haste.

Recalling what Town Guard Wang and Deputy Town Guard Zhao had done, Hua Shan couldn't help but shake her head slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

She knew very well that the two guards were indeed lacking in this regard. Their decision-making and handling methods obviously failed to fully take into account the uniqueness and importance of geniuses.

This is not only a dereliction of duty on their part, but also an irresponsibility towards the future of the entire Demon-Suppressing Mansion.

"Even so, it's not so easy to change the minds of Town Guard Wang and Deputy Town Guard Zhao," Hua Shan said with a hint of worry in her tone, and her eyes revealed her deep concern for Ling Xiao.

"Your temper is too stubborn. As the saying goes, too much stubbornness can easily lead to failure. You'd better be careful. In this complex and ever-changing martial arts world, it is not a wise move to make too many enemies. Otherwise, it will be bad if they use you as an example. After all, the power and resources in their hands are enough to deter many powerful people."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao curled up a faint smile, which showed both confidence and gratitude for Hua Shan's kindness.

"I understand," he said softly, his voice gentle but firm, "I'm not stupid, and I won't act blindly. When I can't win, I will naturally choose to retreat and won't force myself. After all, the road of martial arts is long and difficult, and every step needs to be taken with caution."

Having said that, a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.

"But then again, whether it's Guard Wang or Deputy Guard Zhao, they don't have the ability to kill me. In this world where the strong are respected, strength is the basis of everything. To kill me, unless a strong man above the Heavenly Man Realm takes action, otherwise, any attempt is in vain."

His tone revealed an indescribable arrogance and confidence, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

This calm and confident attitude made Hua Shan nod secretly, and her admiration for Ling Xiao increased a little more. She knew that the reason why Ling Xiao could be so calm and composed was because he had enough strength.

……

At this time, in a room with simple decoration and solemn atmosphere, Town Guard Wang and Deputy Town Guard Zhao Heng sat upright, their eyes revealed a bit of solemnity, and the focus of their discussion was Ling Xiao, who had recently caused a stir in the martial arts world.

Wang Zhenshou gently stroked the teacup in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, his face slightly gloomy, as if he had unspeakable worries in his heart.

"Zhao Heng," he said slowly, with a barely perceptible heaviness in his voice, "Do you feel that the boy named Ling Xiao has a familiar aura about him, a bit like... that person?"

When Zhao Heng heard this, his eyes instantly became sharp. He carefully recalled Ling Xiao's various performances, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He nodded, with a certainty in his tone: "Indeed, Ling Xiao's personality is surprisingly similar to that guy - he would rather break than bend, and he is extremely stubborn, as if he was born to be undisciplined. Moreover, his talent is even more amazing.

With the cultivation of the Unresting Realm, he was able to defeat Master Qi, who was at the peak of the Heavenly River Realm. This strength was unimaginable even when we were young."

At this point, Zhao Heng couldn't help but sigh softly, his eyes showing both admiration for Ling Xiao's strength and complex emotions towards that familiar aura.
