Chapter 404: The President's Weakness



"What secret?" Li Xiu was curious. What kind of secret could make Li Boyang want to kill him and even not let go of the mother of his own child?

"He is not a human being." Guan Jinghao said with a sullen face.

Li Xiu frowned slightly. It was no longer a secret to Li Xiu that Li Boyang was not from this world. Moreover, Li Xiu did not think that Li Boyang would kill someone for this reason. There must be other reasons.

Guan Jinghao continued, "He is not human, at least not like us. I have already told you this, but there is one thing you may not know. Because he is not from this world, he has a weakness. My mother was ruthlessly killed by him because she discovered this weakness."

"Weakness?" Li Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, a weakness, a weakness that can kill him." Guan Jinghao said word by word.

"What weakness?" Li Xiu asked.

"Do you know that he can shed his skin like a bug?" Guan Jinghao asked Li Xiu.

Li Xiu nodded. "Before he recruited me into Changshengtian, he took me to the secret room in Hongsha City. The human skin there was displayed like a work of art. He said that they shed their skin once a year, but I didn't quite believe it at the time."

"He didn't lie to you. He does shed his skin, but not once a year. Instead, he sheds once every sixty years." Guan Jinghao snorted coldly.

"You mean, when he sheds his skin, that's when he's at his most vulnerable?" Li Xiu pondered.

"No, every time he sheds his skin, his body will only become stronger. That time point cannot be considered a weakness." Guan Jinghao explained: "In fact, he did not lie to you. He said that he sheds his skin once a year. That's because, for him, our sixty years is equivalent to his one year."

Li Xiu pondered what Guan Jinghao meant. How could sixty years be equivalent to one year? This didn't make sense.

If Li Boyang was in a special space where the time flowed at a slower speed, Li Xiu could still understand it. However, Li Boyang was also in Changshengtian most of the time, so how could it be said that sixty years was like one year?

Seeing that Li Xiu was puzzled, Guan Jinghao continued to explain: "This is his secret. His body is different from ours. Sixty years in our world is just one year for him."

"Even so, what's the use of it?" Li Xiu couldn't figure out how this could be called a weakness.

No matter how you think about it, this is an advantage. Sixty years is like a year, so Li Boyang should be able to live much longer than the average person. This is obviously a good thing.

Moreover, he sheds his skin once every sixty years, and becomes stronger every time he sheds his skin. This is a powerful ability that most people cannot even dream of.

"If my mother hadn't told me the key, I wouldn't have thought it was useful." Guan Jinghao said gloomily, "The key lies in the perception of time. We feel that sixty minutes have passed, but in his perception, sixty minutes is equivalent to one minute."

"In other words, time seems to be accelerating in his perception?" Li Xiu understood what Guan Jinghao meant.

Just like watching a movie, Li Xiu and his friends watched it at normal speed, while Li Boyang watched it at 60 times speed.

"Yes, that's probably the reason. To him, all movements are accelerated. As long as we are fast enough, he will not be able to see the trajectory of our movements clearly. Even if he can see it clearly, he will not be able to react." Guan Jinghao said.

"Your theory is missing an important link. Even if everything in his perception is accelerated, he can adapt to this speed. Even if it is accelerated sixty times, it will be useless. I have seen him fight with peerless-level fighters. The speed of peerless-level fighters is far above ours, but he can still keep up. This shows that acceleration does not have much effect on him. What's more, his real invincibility lies in his almost immortal body. We can't kill him, no matter how fast we go." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

"I understand what you said, but you have overlooked an important factor. Even if he is at the peerless level, if he does not transcend the rules in terms of speed, then his speed actually has an upper limit. It is the speed of light at most. The speed of light is within his perception range, but what if it exceeds the speed of light?" Guan Jinghao's eyes were burning.

"If you want to exceed the speed of light, you have to transcend the rules with speed. My ability is not based on speed. What about yours?" Li Xiu said to Guan Jinghao.

"Mine isn't that fast either, but that doesn't matter. Just because we can't surpass the speed of light doesn't mean there are no other ways, such as magic armor," said Guan Jinghao.

"Have you developed a magic suit that can exceed the speed of light?" Li Xiu looked at Guan Jinghao in surprise.

"It should be almost done, but there is a problem that only you can solve." Guan Jinghao stared at Li Xiu and said.

"No one can control the magic suit at such a fast speed?" Li Xiu immediately guessed the key point.

"Yes." Guan Jinghao said bitterly, "I have always thought I could do it, but when I really tried, I found that at that speed, I couldn't even do simple control, let alone fight. It was too fast and my reaction couldn't keep up with the speed. The magic suit that I thought was my trump card was completely useless to me."

"But you are different. Your spiritual sense is strong enough. You should be able to control the magic suit at that speed."

"You are right. I can do it, but the problem still remains. We can't break his body and cause fatal damage to him. How do we solve this problem?" Li Xiu said.

"So, we need to fight him in a special place, a place where we can kill him," said Guan Jinghao.

"Is there such a place?" Li Xiu looked at Guan Jinghao in a daze.

"Yes." Guan Jinghao said affirmatively: "Do you know that there is a place called the Time Tunnel in the Demonic Kingdom?"

Li Xiu nodded. Of course he knew that place. Not only did he know it, but Li Boyang also knew it.

"The time tunnel is the place where he can be killed. It is between reality and illusion. Any living being that enters there will be affected and undergo some wonderful changes." Guan Jinghao stared at Li Xiu with burning eyes and said, "That kind of change will make Li Boyang's body no longer so strong that he cannot be killed. Although it is still difficult, at least there is a possibility of killing him. In addition, the speed that exceeds the speed of light is the prerequisite for killing him. Both are indispensable."

Guan Jinghao said this, sighed and said: "I have solved these two conditions, but there is still a key link missing."

"Your magic armor cannot be brought into the trial gate, and you cannot enter the time tunnel." Li Xiu certainly knew what the key link Guan Jinghao was talking about.

"That's right." Guan Jinghao nodded helplessly and said, "Before, I only thought about how to kill him. I thought that as long as the speed was fast enough, he would not be able to react. Later, I found that to kill him, I had to break his body. Although I came up with the way of the time tunnel, my magic suit can't enter. I have been doing research in this area in recent years, but you should know how difficult it is. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but now time is too late, so I hope you can cooperate with me. I heard that Ximen Guan has made a magic suit that can enter the trial ground."

At this point, Guan Jinghao stared at Li Xiu and said eagerly, "As long as we can get Ximen Guan's magic armor technology and add my technology, everything will be fine."

"If all these are feasible, do you think with that man's wisdom, we can lure him to the time tunnel for a battle?" Li Xiu said.

"We don't need to lead him there, he will go there on his own." Guan Jinghao said lightly.

"Why?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. Why was Guan Jinghao so sure that Li Boyang would go to the Time Tunnel?

"Because he wants to leave this world, he can only go through the time tunnel. At the end of the time tunnel is the door to leave this world." Guan Jinghao said slowly.

"So that's how it is." Li Xiu suddenly realized, but was a little confused. Why did Guan Jinghao know such an important thing? Even Lao Xie and Bellona had never mentioned it.

As if seeing through Li Xiu's inner thoughts, Guan Jinghao sighed and said, "If our mother hadn't known these things, she wouldn't have died."

Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. If he had a choice, Guan Jinghao would probably rather not know these secrets.

"Cooperate with me. This is your only chance, and my only chance as well." Guan Jinghao stared at Li Xiu with burning eyes and extended his hand again.

"Thank you for telling me these secrets, but I still can't cooperate with you." Li Xiu shook his head and refused again.

"Why? Don't you dare to fight? You are not that kind of person. Give me a reason." Guan Jinghao's breathing became heavier and he stared at Li Xiu like a beast.

Li Xiu had no choice but to tell Guan Jinghao about the soul-devouring thing in his body. After listening to it, Guan Jinghao stood there for a long while with a complicated expression, and then said bitterly: "I should have thought of it earlier. How could a person like him allow someone like you to grow up? He must have planned it long ago. This time, I lost again."

Guan Jinghao was devastated and knew he had no chance. He turned around and left silently, his steps staggering.

"This may really be an opportunity." Li Xiu murmured to himself as he watched Guan Jinghao leave.

He did not agree to cooperate with Guan Jinghao, firstly because of the existence of the Soul Eater, and secondly because there was no need to cooperate with Guan Jinghao at all, because the magic suit made by Ximen Guan, combined with Li Xiu's spiritual awareness, was enough to break the speed of light.

If Li Xiu chooses to cooperate with Guan Jinghao now, it will only alert the enemy and make Li Boyang defensive.

"It seems that I have to go to the time tunnel again." Although Li Xiu never gave up, he really had no way before. The secret brought by Guan Jinghao finally made him find a glimmer of possibility.

After regaining his spirit, Li Xiu planned to go to the Time Tunnel again. The last time he went to the Time Tunnel, he did not see the Gate to the World that Guan Jinghao mentioned.

When the train reaches the end, there is a station, and there is no Gate to the World there.

However, Li Xiu still had some guesses in his mind. Perhaps that station was not the end of the time tunnel, but the starting point of the time tunnel.

At the station, he got two ticket-like tags. One ticket had "Happy Hometown" written on it, and the other ticket had "The Final Destination" written on it.

Li Xiu was wondering if there was a possibility that the final destination written on the ticket was actually the end of the time tunnel.

So Li Xiu wanted to find out whether this was really the case. He had to first verify whether the news Guan Jinghao said was true or false.

Even if Guan Jinghao did not lie to him, what Guan Jinghao knew was what he heard from his mother. He had never been to the Time Tunnel. He was afraid that even he himself did not know whether there was a gate to the world there or whether it would cause the president to lose his immortality, and he could not explain why.

To go to the Time Tunnel, Li Xiu knew two ways, one was to enter from the Emerald Gate of Changshengtian, and the other was to enter from the Green Field Gate.

The Emerald Gate is where Li Xiu entered the Time Tunnel, and the Green Field Gate is where Li Xiu came out.

Li Xiu didn't want the president to know that he was going to the Time Tunnel, so he could only choose to enter from the Green Gate near Taro City.

In order to prevent his tracks from being exposed, Li Xiu did not go to Taro City to meet Kunsha, but went directly to the Green Field Gate.

It was already late at night when Li Xiu arrived at the Green Fields Gate, but the lights in front of the Green Fields Gate were still on and people were coming and going. More and more people were joining the ranks of the trial-takers. For a trial gate like this one without an owner, people were coming in and out day and night, and there were all kinds of stalls outside the gate, trading all kinds of materials and supplies.

I waited until almost dawn, when the last stall owner could no longer bear it and went back. There were no people around, so I came to the Gate of Green Fields, opened the door, and walked in.

Although Li Xiu had only been to the Green Land once, he remembered the route very clearly. He stayed invisible and avoided the crowd, heading towards the place where he came out of the Time Tunnel.

Li Xiu also knew in his heart that with the Soul Devouring Spirit in his body, it was impossible for him to completely escape Li Boyang's surveillance.

Fortunately, Li Boyang himself is rejected by the world and his perception ability is not strong. As long as the distance from him is far enough, he should not be able to sense too much. At most, he can only sense the approximate direction.

Not long after, Li Xiu arrived at the stone tablet and looked around for a while, but did not see the train.

"Let's give it a try." Li Xiu took out the ticket with the words "terminal station" on it. Since this was a stop for the train, he should be able to get on the train with this ticket. He just didn't know how long he would have to wait for the train to arrive.

Li Xiu took the ticket and waited for a long time but the train did not appear. He could not help but think to himself: "I have waited for so long, the train should come. Could it be that I am wrong and this ticket cannot summon the train? If so, we can only go to the Emerald Gate."

After thinking about it, Li Xiu looked at the stone tablet in the grass again. His heart moved slightly, and he reached out and brought the ticket close to the stone tablet.

The moment the ticket touched the stone tablet, a strange light lit up on the originally ordinary stone tablet, and several light patterns appeared on it.

"Time Avenue Station!" Li Xiu recognized those magic words and was immediately overjoyed.

Woo! Woo!

The ticket in Li Xiu's hand suddenly disappeared. The next second, he heard a familiar whistle. A fairy-tale train appeared out of thin air not far away. The wheels were turning with a clanking sound. In a moment, it arrived in front of Li Xiu and then slowly stopped.

"The ticket can indeed summon the little train, but it's a pity that it can only be used once. It seems that I have to go to the station again to see if I can get a few more tickets." Li Xiu walked towards the little train.

When Li Xiu walked towards the little train, something strange happened. The closer he got to the little train, the taller it became.

By the time he walked to the door of the little train, it had grown to the size of a real train.

Li Xiu hesitated for a moment. He didn't use his ticket last time, so he could only be considered a stowaway. This time, if he used his ticket to get on the bus, he didn't know if he would be trapped inside.

At that time, peerless powerful people like the Sixteen Ancestral Spirits were all trapped in the train, but it is not known whether they used their tickets.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiu boarded the train. There was no one in the carriage, so he found a seat and sat down.

"The Happiness Train is about to depart... Please sit tight, my friends... Next stop... Crossroads of Destiny Station..." A strange voice came from the train. Li Xiu was very familiar with this voice. Last time, Li Xiu broke down a train, and he didn't know if this was the same train.

The train started slowly. Originally there was open grassland all around. But after the train started, Li Xiu found that the outside had turned into an emerald tunnel.

In the tunnel of dim green light, the train moves forward quickly. The two green lights emitted by the headlights can only illuminate a very short distance in the tunnel.

The time in the time tunnel was obviously a bit confusing. Even with Li Xiu's sensitivity to time, he still felt confused. Sometimes it felt like only a few seconds had passed, and sometimes it felt like several months had passed.

I don’t know how long it took, but the speed of the train slowly slowed down. I guess it had arrived at the crossroads of fate.

"We've arrived at the Crossroads of Destiny. Those who are getting off the bus please get off quickly, and those who are getting on the bus please get on quickly. We will only stay at this station for three minutes..." The strange voice came again from the direction of the front of the bus.

Although Li Xiu was a little curious about where these stops led to, he still sat there obediently and waited until he reached the terminal.

Originally, Li Xiu thought that no one would get on the bus because the sixteen ancestral spirits had already escaped and there should be no other people in the time tunnel.

But suddenly, footsteps were heard, someone pushed open the car door and walked up the stairs.

Li Xiu looked over suspiciously, but saw no one. Strangely, he clearly heard footsteps getting on the bus and walking towards where he was sitting.

Li Xiu immediately concentrated his light energy to sense, but still sensed nothing, while the footsteps in his ears were getting closer and closer.

"Hello, can I sit here?" A voice sounded in front of Li Xiu, but he saw nothing.
