"What the hell is this thing?" Li Xiu looked at the book and found that the woman in the book actually moved.

"Is this a 3D version of the comic?" The more Li Xiu looked at it, the more magical it seemed. In his eyes, those patterns that were clearly drawn with simple lines appeared on the paper like 3D projections, and they were constantly twisting their bodies.

Hand-painting can actually produce such an effect. Li Xiu thinks this should be the greatest invention of this century.

With this kind of technology, why do we need cameras, professional animation teams, or special effects? Just draw and be done.

Li Xiu read it with great interest and felt that it was indeed a good thing.

"Old Bai gave this to me, is he trying to work with me to promote this technology? If this amazing book is promoted, we can make a fortune just by selling the books." Li Xiu unconsciously thought of making money.

Lao Bai was drinking tea in the room with a calm look, as if he was waiting for something.

“After that kid reads my painting ‘The Sutra of Extreme Desire’ and is bewitched by it, I will go out and enlighten him, accept him as my disciple, and pass on my mantle to him.” Old Bai’s abacus clattered.

He wanted to take Li Xiu in as his successor, not to teach Li Xiu how to fight. Although he could fight, that was not what he valued most.

What Lao Bai really wanted Li Xiu to learn from him was the art of controlling.

Before, Lao Bai felt that Li Xiu’s personality was quite compatible with his, and wanted to leave something for him before leaving. After Li Xiu demonstrated his amazing calculation ability, Lao Bai felt that Li Xiu was suitable to inherit his mantle, but he didn’t know how to start the conversation.

After all, he is living under someone else's roof now, so it would not be appropriate for him to take the initiative to ask for a disciple.

However, letting Li Xiu read the "Extreme Desire Sutra" was not to embarrass Li Xiu. Resisting the temptation of the Extreme Desire Sutra was the basis of his stuff.

There are thousands of desires in life. Although desires are the foundation of human survival and progress, a person who is controlled by desires will ultimately find it difficult to achieve great things.

If you want to learn his skills, not only can you not be without desires, but you must be more sensitive and hungry than the average person. His pursuit is to have extreme desires without indulging in them.

It sounds contradictory, but if you can't do this, you can't follow his path.

Lao Bai waited for a while and thought it should be about time, but Li Xiu was not an ordinary person. He waited for a while longer before pushing the door and walking out.

Lao Bai saw Li Xiu still reading a book, one hand covering his nose, his eyes unblinking, as if he was quite absorbed in reading. He couldn't help but think in his heart, "Boy, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a young man full of blood and energy. How can you bear the extreme desire? It's time for me to step in."

Lao Bai walked up to Li Xiu and was about to wake him up, but suddenly he saw Li Xiu, who was concentrating on the "Extreme Desire Sutra", suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

This scared Lao Bai. People who are addicted to "The Sutra of Extreme Desire" should be fully focused and unaware of what is happening around them. How come he hasn't woken Li Xiu up yet, and Li Xiu's mind and eyes have actually shifted away from "The Sutra of Extreme Desire".

"Old Bai, I agree to what you asked for." Li Xiu stood up, grabbed Old Bai's hand excitedly and said.

"Agreed?" Lao Bai was slightly startled, then suddenly realized, thinking: "It seems that this kid is knowledgeable and knows the benefits of my Extreme Desire Sutra. This is good, saving me a lot of trouble. However, this kid can get rid of the temptation of the Extreme Desire Sutra by himself. This talent is really extraordinary. I really found the right successor."

Seeing Li Xiu's excited face, Lao Bai was about to say something with a smile, but he heard Li Xiu say, "Lao Bai, let's do this deal."

"Business!" Lao Bai didn't react for a moment, not understanding what Li Xiu meant. "Didn't he want to become a disciple? Why is he talking about business again?"

Li Xiu let go of Lao Bai's hand, picked up the "Extreme Desire Sutra", and said to Lao Bai excitedly: "Lao Bai, your painting skills are amazing. Looking at this thing is like watching a short movie. It's amazing. Don't worry, just focus on painting, and leave the rest of the printing, sales and promotion to me. I will pay for it all, and we will share the profits. This good thing will definitely be popular all over the world in a short time, and we are going to make a fortune."

Lao Bai stared at Li Xiu in a daze, his expression becoming increasingly uglier.

He finally understood what Li Xiu meant. After all the hassle, it turned out that Li Xiu didn't want to become his disciple, but wanted to cooperate with him to sell books.

Lao Bai was so angry that his brain was about to explode. Who was he? When did he fall to the point of selling small books to make money? Li Xiu told him this, which made Lao Bai feel greatly insulted, and his "Extreme Desire Sutra" was also insulted.

This was the result of his life's hard work, and Li Xiu actually wanted to sell it as a small book. Lao Bai felt his blood pressure rising rapidly and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

"Not for sale." Lao Bai grabbed the "Extreme Desire Sutra" he had drawn, turned around and walked towards his room. He was afraid that if he said another word to Li Xiu, or even looked at Li Xiu again, he would not be able to help but slap him in the face.

"If you think an equal split isn't okay, we can discuss it again. How about 64... 73 is also fine... Lao Bai... don't leave..." As Li Zhengzheng was speaking, Lao Bai had already returned to the room and slammed the door shut.

"30% to 70% is not a small amount. I have to spend money and effort to find connections. Do I think 30% is more than enough?" Li Xiu muttered to himself.

Li Xiu is not a worm in Lao Bai's stomach, so how could he know the twists and turns in Lao Bai's mind? He really couldn't understand it. Lao Bai showed him this thing, so he should want to cooperate with him. Why can't they just have a good talk?

"Why are you so angry? If 37 doesn't work, 28 is also possible." Li Xiu sighed.

Seeing that Lao Bai had no intention of opening the door and coming out, Li Xiu thought that Lao Bai was angry because he had initially reported a 50-50 split.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. I don't have time to deal with this right now anyway. I still have to host the Trialist Competition." Li Xiu thought for a moment and shouted to Lao Bai in the room, "Lao Bai, don't be angry yet. We'll talk about the profit sharing later. I have to go back to the City of Light first. We'll talk about it when I come back."

"Talk about nothing!" Lao Bai was so angry that his nose was crooked in the room. He was too lazy to pay attention to Li Xiu and secretly complained in his heart.

Li Xiu returned to his room and had a good sleep. The next day, just after he got up and washed up, he heard a knock on the courtyard door.

When I opened the door, I saw Li Qingyi standing outside, pulling a suitcase.

"I'm ready to go to the City of Light to participate in the Trial Competition." Li Qingyi said lightly.

"Okay, I'll go to Vice President Han and fill out an application form." Li Xiu said as he prepared to go out.

"No need, I've already applied for you." Li Qingyi stopped Li Xiu and said.

"Okay, let's go now." Li Xiu packed up his things, said goodbye to Li Ming'er, and then followed Li Qingyi to the beach.

When Li Xiu and Li Qingyi came out of the coffin, they were already near the City of Light. They didn't walk far before they arrived at the City of Light.

"Li Xiu, you know that the big guys from Changshengtian are going to participate in the Trial Competition, right?" When Chu Jun saw Li Xiu, he quickly pulled him aside and told him what happened.

"I understand." Li Xiu nodded slightly.

"With those big guys here, it may be impossible for us to take back the prizes. The defensive measures during the competition also have big problems. Sha Chu, A Fei and others have discussed a plan. See if it works." Chu Jun took out the design plan and handed it to Li Xiu.

After reading it for a while, Li Xiu smiled and said, "This plan is good. It can determine the winner without hurting the relationship. I think it's a good plan."

"Then I feel relieved. Sha Chu is already adjusting the venue and the arena." Chu Jun recounted the current situation of the City of Light.

I heard that the market is already very hot. The competition hasn't even started yet, but a lot of the magic rings, talent gems and skill rings shipped from Changshengtian have already been sold out and are almost out of stock.

Trialists from all over the world discovered that there were so many good things for trialists in the market of City of Light, and the prices were much cheaper than outside. Many people spent a lot of money to purchase them. Even many big businessmen heard the news and came to City of Light with huge wealth to purchase goods, treating City of Light as a wholesale market.

When Sha Chu brought the account book to him, Li Xiu was so happy to see his earnings that he could hardly close his mouth.

"It's so easy to make money here, but it's a pity that it will take some time for the second batch of goods to arrive from Changsheng Tianyun. Should I try to destroy it?" Li Xiu thought, stroking his chin.

"No rush. Our reputation has already been established. Being out of stock is not a bad thing." Sha Chu stopped Li Xiu who wanted to take back Changshengtian to destroy the goods, and continued: "You have read the competition rules we designed. What do you think?"

"Very good, just do it according to your design." Li Xiu is not very concerned about the Trial Competition now. Even if he can't get the prize back, he has already made a lot of money this time.

"There are no problems with anything else, but there is one thing you need to decide. Should we have a champion for each of these split projects, or should we add up all the projects and have an overall champion?" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"It's better to have one champion in each event." Li Xiu murmured.

"Then there is another problem. If there is one champion for each project, and we split it into five projects, then do we have to prepare five rewards?" Sha Chu pointed out the key point that made her feel embarrassed.

"Of course I want five. Don't worry about the money. Since we're going to do it, we'll do it well. It's not a big deal to prepare four more prizes." Although Li Xiu was reluctant, this trial contest was a task assigned by the president, and he had to do it well, so he had to bear the pain and make the sacrifice.

Fortunately, the president also gave him benefits, allowing him to make a lot of money. Otherwise, even if Li Xiu wanted to get five sets of prizes, he would not have the financial strength.

With Li Xiu's nod, Sha Chu no longer had any scruples and prepared to go.

The Trial Competition, which had already shocked the whole world, caused another uproar after the detailed rules of the competition were announced.

I originally thought it would be a simple battle between trial participants, but I didn't expect it to be a competition with five events.

The rules of the competition were not a problem, the problem was that there were five champions, which meant that theoretically, five trial participants could get the final super-spiritual reward.

"The City of Light is going to turn the Trialist Competition into the Trialist Olympics!" Someone thought of that ancient sporting event.

"The City of Light is indeed a holy land for trial-takers. It is so damn rich. Five super spirit rewards plus the rewards for the top ten, how much is this worth?"

"I want to know now whether the Lord of the City of Light and Princess Fubuki's master will also participate in this trial contest. I also want to see the ultimate showdown between the Jedi Knight and Princess Fubuki. I didn't see them fight in the last Demon Spirit Contest, and now I still feel it's a pity."

"Fubuki-hime YYDS."

"The Jedi Knight is the invincible king bomb."

"Do you think my Dark Lord of Death doesn't exist?"

“So many projects, aren’t they a bit too much?”

"Not much. According to the rules, every participant can participate in all events. Maybe we can achieve a grand slam and win all the events."

"What's so interesting about the competition? The real thing is to go to the market in the City of Light to buy spirits. I heard that someone bought a light-based spirit in the market in the City of Light."

"What! Light-based demon spirits! It must be fake, right? Would anyone sell that stuff?"

For a moment, everyone in the world seemed to be talking about the Trial Competition that was to be held in the City of Light, as if if you didn't even know this, you were out of touch with the times.

"Li Xiu's move is quite big." Shura said with a smile while watching the news.

"The bigger the better. Let him warm up the show for us. That way it will be more interesting." Luosha snorted coldly.

"It's time for the world to recognize who is the main theme of this era." Yaksha said in a cold voice.

…

Li Xiu and Li Qingyi had just sat down to drink some water when they saw a man swaggering into the living room.

"Mr. Xiao Er?" When Li Xiu saw Xiao Er, he subconsciously thought that this guy was here to ask for money.

Last time, Xiao Er gave him 50 million, but he left after staying for only a few days without learning anything. Li Xiu thought he was unwilling to give up and came back to ask for more money.

Li Xiu’s principle has always been that the money collected will never be refunded. You can continue to study, but it is impossible to refund the money.

"Li Xiu, you're finally here." Xiao Er had been waiting for almost a month, and finally heard the news that Li Xiu had returned, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

"Mr. Xiao, do you want to continue your studies? No problem. I promise to teach you and take responsibility to the end." Li Xiu directly blocked Xiao Er's way to return the money.

"Of course you have to learn, but it's not me learning from you, it's you learning from me." Xiao Er said seriously.

"What should I learn from you?" Li Xiu stared at Xiao Er in a daze, thinking, "Did this guy give me 50 million for nothing last time? The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Is his brain going crazy?"

"That's a good question." Xiao Er looked very proud. "Based on the control method you taught me, I conducted in-depth research and improvements, and made breakthrough innovations. I developed a new method of controlling multiple demons. I called it the 'Xiao Family Formation Control Method'. The control efficiency and accuracy are much more advanced and convenient than yours. If you want to learn it, I can teach you now. I won't charge you much. The tuition fee is the same as yours, 50 million."

"This...can I not learn it?" After hearing what Xiao Er said, Li Xiu became more and more certain that he was crazy about money and was determined to get the 50 million back.

"Brother Li, you have to think carefully. My method of controlling the Xiao family formation is much more powerful than your old-fashioned method. If you learn it now, I will not participate in the trial competition. If you don't learn it, and I participate in the trial competition, if the winner is determined on the field, you will not look good." Xiao Er had a look of confidence on his face and even called him "brother".

Li Xiu immediately said seriously: "I hold the Trial Contest to discover more outstanding Trialists. If you can really beat me in the Trial Contest, it means that there are many talented Trialists. It is a blessing for mankind. How can I feel ashamed? I will only be happier."

Xiao Er wanted to say something, but Li Xiu interrupted him and continued, "Mr. Xiao Er, please make sure to participate in the Trialist Competition. I have great expectations for your Xiao Family Formation Control Method. I hope you can defeat all the heroes in the world and win the championship. Let all the trialists in the world see what is the strongest multi-demon control method. Let those ignorant trialists gain some experience and give them more motivation, so that they can walk towards the light and know how far the road ahead is. When the time comes, I will personally set up a banquet for you to celebrate and thank you on behalf of all the trialists in the world."

Xiao Er's eyes lit up when he heard this. He patted Li Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, you are very conscious and what you said makes sense. It really doesn't give me much sense of accomplishment to defeat you. At my current point, I really should do something for the progress of the world. It is my responsibility to give some light to those who can't even see the way. Well, for your sake, I will not have to participate in the competition."

"Thank you, Second Young Master. Your participation in the competition is a blessing for all trial-takers in the world and a blessing for the world. I will always look forward to your performance." Li Xiu now just wanted to send Xiao Er away as soon as possible and never let him think about the 50 million again.

"Brother Li, you are really a good person. After the competition starts, you can study first. If you don't understand something after the competition, come and ask me and I will teach you." Xiao Er left the hall happily.

Li Xiu turned around and sat down, but saw Li Qingyi looking at him strangely.

"Well, that's Xiao Er, the second son of the Xiao family of the Disha Group. He has very good talent and strong ability. He is proficient in controlling multiple demons and his level is very good. He should have an eye-catching performance in the competition." Li Xiu said while drinking water.

"Li Xiu, why didn't I realize before that you are such a mean person?" Li Qingyi said to Li Xiu with a smile.

"Where am I hurt?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"No matter how high Xiao Er's level is, can he defeat those Soul Forging masters? You tricked him into participating in the competition, I'm afraid you didn't have any good intentions." Li Qingyi said.

"You are wronging me if you think so. I sincerely hope that Xiao Er can shine in the competition and discover more talents for Changshengtian." Li Xiu said seriously, "Xiao Er has great talent. Even if he is not a match for those Soul Forging masters, he can still win a few games and show his strength. As for whether he will be abused if he meets a Soul Forging master, it is not a bad thing for a young man to have more experience."
