Chapter 1055: Xiaoxiao

“What’s that?” Xia Fei asked inquisitively as he pointed to the largest machinery in the training room.

Fuchen giddily introduced, “This is a simulation training center. What you’ve seen before is called the combat simulation cabin, while this here is the Al-powered virtual battle machine. You’ll be able to fight using it even without an opponent.

“More importantly, this thing can simulate you, so if you want to try working with that footwork of yours, you can do so right here, and there won’t be a single discrepancy; every action you make would be mimicked through sophisticated logic calculations, so if it’s something you can achieve inside the

simulation training center, then you can do it anywhere else.”

Xia Fei was surprised. Exact active imitation had always been a difficult problem in the technology sphere; he truly did not expect that the Alpha Universe had not only solved this issue but had also even successfully put it into practice!

This would be a great help to him. If he wanted to experiment with some new combat techniques, he could do so completely inside the simulation cabin. Through this, he could determine the pros and cons of the techniques without losing energy. It was pretty much a solution that killed two birds with

historical

one stone.

“This simulation training center costs as much as a hundred billion, but the benefits are numerous. If you didn’t have this type of ticket, you wouldn’t have the chance to use this machine at all. Now, you know why I had you spend a lot just to book a Duke Suite. Well, while no one is around, why don’t you

give it a try? It won’t be good if someone else sees you doing it, after all,” Fuchen suggested after looking around.

Xia Fei froze and then asked curiously, “A ticket that cost me 1.35 million pearls isn’t enough to grant me access to this training center?! Isn’t that a bit too ridiculous?”

Fuchen thought nothing of it. “What? There are plenty of things out there that money can’t buy. Take this simulation training center for instance; it’s been specially prepared for important figures, so only individuals with substantial statuses can use it.

“I’ve boarded The Mammoth before; I learned that the Duke Suite has corridors connecting to the VIP area. Because they’re all in the same zone, there’s no security in place. We can take advantage of that right now.”

Xia Fei nodded. He pushed open the door and stepped into the center.

This training center was round in shape and had no windows. This was why no one outside could tell that Xia Fei was currently inside, making it quite a secluded place.

Turning on the system, Xia Fei began his combat simulation training. Fuchen slowly made his way back via the same path he had come in, heading to the dining hall so that he could sample delicacies. Naturally, it was still Xia Fei who would pay for whatever he ate.

The Mammoth, inside an opulent Palatial Suite.

Aboard this express liner, which shuttled across the vast emptiness of space, were a total of four secret rooms. They were different from the Royal Suites or the Duke Suite that Xia Fei and Fuchen were currently occupying, as these were secret rooms that no one knew existed on the ship, nor could they be

booked through conventional means like visiting the reservation counter. This was because these accommodations were reserved for important figures. The company would rather leave these rooms empty than let someone unqualified use them.

Xiaoxiao was staying in one of the four hidden rooms, and the two elders were still following him dutifully. These two old men looked quite alike to each other, both having grown about a meter-long gray beard.

Today, Xiaoxiao heard that someone had managed to achieve one hundred one consecutive wins using the Xiao Xing model, and out of curiosity, the young man returned to his room, found the recording of the fights, and watched each of them. In the end, what he saw shocked him greatly.

Xia Fei had managed to use the handicapped Xiao Xing to twist, turn, and evade with much deftness. Each action he did, be it attacking or defending, was executed with such dynamic Xiaoxiao could not help but be perplexed. This was especially the case for the movement technique he demonstrated,

which looked as illusory as a ghost.

“Both of you, come look,” said Xiaoxiao in a grave tone. “Do either of you know which clan this technique originated from?”

The two carefully inspected the recording before finally saying, “Neither of us has seen something like it before. It’s quite similar to the Bei Clan’s movement technique, yet it seems to be far more cunning than that.”

“That’s right; it’s cunning, Not only is this person’s movement technique impressive, it is also very sinister. He would be a very troublesome opponent to face if he managed to get into close combat with anyone.”

Xiaoxiao arched his eyebrow. “The most important fact is that he’s achieved it while using a body with a very poor sense of balance. Since he could execute that technique while handicapped, he’ll likely not just be a ‘troublesome opponent to those who face him under normal circumstances.”

The elder with the more pointed face laughed. “What the young master said makes sense. Any warrior who fails to understand their enemy during battle will surely suffer, but ultimately, it’s still just a movement technique. More often than not, a clash between soul practitioners will only be decided by

soul power. Just a movement technique alone may not always secure the victory. It’s important for us to consider this from every angle.”

Xiaoxiao’s surname was Xiao, but this young master was not someone who would laugh at all. In fact, his expression had remained emotionless from start up to this moment, appearing to be very stern. He was a world of difference from Xia Fei, who often smiled and would even joke around outside of

battle.

The somewhat disheartened young master walked with his hands behind his back and headed out while thinking deeply.

*Rumble*

Having not eaten food the entire night, Xiaoxiao’s stomach could not help but grow! pitifully.

Turning his head, he spied a clean plate set on the table. It seemed like it had been prepared for him by the Zheng Clan’s two brothers. In the past, whenever Xiaoxiao went to train, they would never forget leaving his favorite biscuits outside the room, but for some reason, all there was left for him today

was an empty plate.

Slightly furrowing his brows, Xiaoxiao continued his way forward. His head was lowered as he succumbed to endless annoyance.

Everyone knew that the seventh young master was a genius seen only once in a generation. Right now, this genius had actually been at a loss on how Xia Fei had managed to control the Xiao Xing model, and this made him feel greatly disheartened.

*Bump*

Xiaoxiao failed to notice that there was a fifteen- to sixteen-year-old girl in front of him, and they collided, causing both to grimace at the same time.

‘The brown-skinned man behind the young girl abruptly stood in front of her, glaring at Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao let out a cold snort and left, expressionless. Meanwhile, the young girl massaged her right arm with a frown. When Xiaoxiao just walked fast without apologizing, the girl felt unhappy.

“What a weird man.” The young girl wrinkled her nose and huffed in her soft voice.

“Miss, it’s best if you don’t take his rudeness to heart. It seems like he has quite a lot on his mind,” said that stout man.

‘The two reached the training center. The young girl happened to open the room Xia Fei had just used, and she entered with her companion.

Suddenly, she covered her mouth with her two hands, her eyes filled with shock.

“How powerful! He actually got 91 points with his movement technique training!”

She could not help but look over, staring at Xiaoxiao’s departing back.

“Miss, I know that person,” said the stout man.

“Who is he? He actually scored 91 points!” The girl tilted her head, feeling curious. Her shiny black hair swung along with her movement.

“That’s Seventh Master Xiao,” answered the man with a frown, seemingly disliking that person.

“Miss, when it comes to the Xiao Clan, it’s best that you don’t—”

The young girl paid no heed to his warning. “So what if he’s from the Xiao Clan? Since he could get over 90 points with this system, then he should be someone amazing.”

Of course, there was no way for her to know that this was the score Xia Fei had achieved. As for the machine that Xiaoxiao had used, it only displayed a very embarrassing 57 points, which was not even a passing score.

“Miss, let’s hurry up and start. The Xiaos aren’t a clan that gets along well with others,” warned the stout man calmly.

The young girl nodded in agreement to her companion and proceeded to enter the training room proper..
