X-Dragon Era

After hemming and hawing for a while, Ming Xuan said with effort, "But, we have too few people now. If anything happens, we won't have enough to respond. In the future, when we have more people, handling things will also be..." Yi Luo Xiang interrupted Ming Xuan before he finished speaking, shaking her head with a smile, "No, I don't see it that way. Having fewer people is not a weakness; on the contrary, it's our biggest advantage. Though we have few, each one of us is an elite, each capable of playing a significant role. Moreover... it's precisely because we have few people, because we are all elite, that we don't need to worry about casualties among our members. Once we have more people in the future, it won't be that simple. Then, in those battles, how could there not be any casualties?" "What?" Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Ming Xuan widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe what he was hearing. Analysed in this way, things really seemed like that. The city could be managed if possible, or else let it go. Although there were fewer people, there was no need to worry about one's own dying in battle, which was not without its benefits. Seeing that she had persuaded both of them, Yi Luo Xiang stood up excitedly, saying crisply, "Once we set up the pole and hang the flag, our banner will officially be raised. Then, we'll manage the city if we can, or leave it if we can't. After all, our ambition isn't for profit but to establish our might, while using this battlefield to hone everyone's abilities." Stopping briefly, Yi Luo Xiang continued, "Now, although we are few, it's precisely because of our small numbers that if we make a mistake, the consequences won't be very serious. Once we're larger and more powerful in the future, one mistake could cost us many brothers and sisters, so... I'd rather make more mistakes now while we're weak to ensure that once we become powerful in the future, the mistakes are reduced to the minimum!" "Clap, clap, clap..." Hearing this, everyone, including Xin Yun, clapped enthusiastically. It seemed that after this event, although Yi Luo Xiang couldn't be said to have undergone a complete transformation, she definitely had an awakening. From this moment on, the intelligent and wise Yi Luo Xiang had officially embarked on her journey! Amidst the encouraging applause, Yi Luo Xiang made her final summarization, confidently stating, "For management, we can hire local elders to manage on our behalf. Only locals can be the best managers of their area, so this is not a problem at all." She paused, then continued, "As for the defense issue, this is actually not a problem at all. We can employ a small gang here, responsible for the city's daily security!" "Ah!" Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's words, Ming Xuan exclaimed, "A small gang! How could that work? If someone tries to challenge us, they won't stand a chance!" With a proud smile, Yi Luo Xiang decisively said, "We never expected them to handle it. If a gang tries to encroach on Shoushan, there's no need to resist; let them take over. However... whatever they take, they'll have to spit it back out and pay ample compensation; that... will still depend on our mood." "No... You can't be serious!" Ming Xuan felt as if he was listening to something unbelievable as he listened to Yi Luo Xiang. Faced with Ming Xuan's confusion, Yi Luo Xiang explained, "As I said, we're raising our banner merely as a place to practice. If someone wants to occupy it, we might as well let them do so. But afterwards... they'll have to accept our relentless harassment and sabotage." She paused again, then continued, "The Five Rat Brothers will be responsible for wreaking havoc in their stronghold, emptying out their treasure vault, and the Dual Assassins will be in charge of assassinating their high-ranking personnel." With a "creak," Yi Luo Xiang clenched her fists tightly and said in a deep voice, "Moreover, don't you think it's time we engaged in some real battles? With the Taiji Diagram, we can certainly come and go without trace. Our future combat training won't need to be limited to just the few of us anymore but will involve real combat, against those gangs vying for control of the city!" "Hiss..." Hearing Yi Luo Xiang's arrangements, Ming Xuan gasped. By now, how could he not understand that Shoushan City was clearly a trap Yi Luo Xiang had laid out, welcoming anyone to try to take it. But... whoever came to take it would become the training target for the Axe Gang. With the Taiji Diagram, they could completely vanish and reappear at will, being in the Combat Dragon Academy in Mountain Sea City one moment and thousands of miles away the next, launching devastating attacks on those adversaries, firmly linking learning with practice. This was real combat, not something easily found! Without a doubt, a metropolis like Shoushan, an enticing target, was sure to attract challengers. Realizing this, Ming Xuan's breathing quickened, eager for the real combat to start. Seeing that everyone had no further doubts and was filled with anticipation, Yi Luo Xiang turned her head and exchanged a glance with Xin Yun. Then, with a composed face, she reached out her right hand, and the Taiji Diagram was boldly invoked. Through the Taiji Diagram, Yi Luo Xiang issued a series of orders, first commanding the Five Rat Brothers to immediately proceed to Shoushan City, to not only empty the Dragon Head Gang's vault but also to cause destruction within the city. However, the targets were not ordinary citizens but the gang members of the Dragon Head Gang. There were no limits to the methods or means of causing maximum damage and disruption.
