Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

"The descendants of thieves are born with the gene for stealing. The only thing I can praise you for is your courage to die." Li Xuan thrust his spear forward and stepped forward, instantly closing the distance between him and Apollo.

At this time, the orange-red flames in Apollo's eyes had turned into light gold, and the aura on his body began to rise continuously, but it gave people a feeling that it would dry up at any time.

Chapter 229 Sun Inscription

"I am Apollo, the sun god"

Apollo shouted loudly, and his aura reached its peak. The flames on his body turned golden, with only a faint orange-red remaining. The scorching temperature descended in the temple. Apollo tried his best to burn the power of the sun in his body to make it evolve and grow faster.

Li Xuan thrust out with his spear, and Apollo slashed out with his giant sword. The tip of the sword and the tip of the spear collided with each other, but the two did not really collide. In between, there was a contest of their golden internal energy. The flames condensed and caused an explosion in the weapons of the two men.

Endless golden flames sprinkled around the temple and quickly began to burn surrounding objects. Even rocks could not escape the heat of the sun.

"Ah", a scream came from the sea of ​​fire.

In the sea of ​​fire.

Apollo pulled out the flaming spear from his body, and the blood that scattered evaporated instantly.

He was at a disadvantage in the previous competition again, and the moment his weapon was swept away, he was shot through the body by Li Xuan.

Fortunately, he now possesses the golden sun god fire, otherwise he would probably lose his combat effectiveness.

However, he did not get the recognition of the sun after all. Apollo had already noticed that the golden flame in his body began to show signs of withering. The power of the sun that was ripened could not last long.

"Cough... cough... I really don't want to accept this," Apollo coughed twice. He felt a little depressed as he tried his best but couldn't narrow the gap between him and Li Xuan.

"Tell me what you think. Although I disdain to use mental attacks, if you insist on resisting, I will drag your soul out. The sun is merciful but also cruel. No one wants to experience it." Li Xuan's eyes did not fluctuate at all. Apollo's flame was too small in his eyes.

"I haven't lost yet." The golden flames in Apollo's eyes that had gradually faded began to burn again, and an orange-red sun shadow of fifty or sixty meters began to appear behind him.

At this moment, there was a wave in the void, and a space gate quickly appeared above Apollo, and a big hand appeared and grabbed Apollo.

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows and activated the Sun Sutra at full power. In an instant, the statues in the temple began to melt rapidly, and a huge sun shadow of a hundred meters appeared behind Li Xuan. An endless heat wave swept across the temple. Li Xuan's figure disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared in front of Apollo. Before Apollo could react, his five fingers formed claws and reached into Apollo's sea of ​​qi.

At the same time, the free hand clenched into a fist, and with the shadow of the sun a hundred meters long behind him, he punched towards the space door that suddenly appeared above the temple, from which stretched out a hundred-meter-long giant hand.

The red crow star fell, and the hundred-meter-long sun shadow and the hundred-meter-long giant hand collided with each other.

"Boom", a violent collision sounded in the temple, instantly destroying the temple, and a small mushroom cloud rose on the spot.

"Ah", Apollo let out a scream.

The whole process takes less than a second.

Li Xuan stood in front of Irene and Erza, whose eyes were filled with shock. The aftermath of the explosion was blocked by him. Li Xuan looked at the center of the explosion with an orange-red and slightly withered flower in his hand.

This was what Li Xuan took out from Apollo's qi sea. It was the source of the sun's power in his body. Golden sun fire gushed out from Li Xuan's hands, and the sunflower absorbed it madly. With the support of Li Xuan's vast amount of internal energy, the sunflower got rid of its orange-red state and bloomed completely, then formed a golden sun inscription and sank into Li Xuan's body.

When Li Xuan saw this inscription, a flash of understanding came into his mind. He then looked at the place where Apollo had just stood and the aftermath of the explosion had gradually subsided. Now there was no one there. A look of pity arose in his eyes. Apollo was rescued by the big hand that had just appeared. The aura of the big hand was similar to that of Nangong Na Yue and the others. It was a being at the Tianxiang realm.

This sun inscription is a fragment of the sun's authority, which can be nurtured to grow into a complete part of the authority. Apollo did not know how he stole it and integrated it into his body. Unfortunately, he did not gain the sun's recognition and could not make the sun flower bear fruit.

Li Xuan had just used the Sun God Fire to water the sunflowers to make them bear fruit. This inscription of authority was also spit out and was controlled by Li Xuan. The authority that was originally in the Tianxiang realm began to gradually condense and the semi-god realm was initially formed was obtained by Li Xuan in advance.

This is the foundation of the path of the gods.

After the inscription entered the body, the golden-red three-legged divine bird transformed by the Origin Taoist Scripture chirped in the Dantian, and the inscription was absorbed into its body. Then the body of the golden-red three-legged divine bird became much more solid.

Li Xuan also felt the exact time when he entered the Tianxiang Realm. It was exactly one month later, which was the end of the Golden Week. The moment the inscriptions of the True Yang Divine Fire Array in his body were absorbed, only a few runes were still glowing faintly.

"I'll let you survive for a while." Because the opponent is stronger than himself and has wiped out the fluctuations in space, Li Xuan cannot find any traces of space just now. However, the discovery of Apollo and the Sun inscriptions in West Africa is an unexpected surprise. He will ask his family members to verify these rumors about the gods, and there will probably be some big discoveries.

"Lord Xuan, is this the scale of the battle in the Terrain Realm?" Erza's eyes were full of fighting spirit. Although she and Irene were amazed at the spectacular battle between Li Xuan and Apollo, she also knew that she would inevitably take this step in the near future.

After hearing what Erza said, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "No, Apollo's final life-threatening move has not been performed yet. He was rescued by someone. This is the momentum created by the collision between me and the person who rescued Apollo."

At this time, the aftermath ended, the smoke and dust dissipated, and looking around, the mountains that were seen when coming in had disappeared, and a plain of several kilometers appeared. This was the result of the collision between Li Xuan's Red Crow Star Meteorite and the hundred-meter giant hand.

"He was rescued by someone? Was it a strong person in the Tianxiang realm who took action?" Irene instantly thought of the existence who could rescue Apollo from Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded, but didn't care, "It doesn't matter, let these mice live for a while longer."

Riding on the surviving flaming divine horse, Li Xuan and the other two left the secret realm.

When they returned to the sea, it was already noon. After leaving a special tracking mark on the body of the Fiery Horse, Li Xuan and the other two landed on the back of the sea beast and let the Fiery Horse go.

If the Flame Horse is found by Apollo or it finds Apollo by itself, then Li Xuan will be able to catch Apollo again. By that time, he should have reached the Heavenly Appearance Realm, and this time he will catch the person who rescued Apollo together with the person.

"Go back," Li Xuan said to the sea beast under his feet.

When the sea beast heard Li Xuan's order, it immediately swam quickly towards the yacht.

Chapter 230 Eren, Mikasa, and Armin

A space gate appeared on top of a towering mountain, and Apollo's body, covered in blood and breathing more than inhaling, fell out of it.

This is the legendary Mount Olympus in the human world, inhabited by the gods in Western mythology.

Mount Olympus is dotted with exquisite and luxurious palace buildings.

When Apollo fell out of the space gate, a man in luxurious golden armor caught him below.

"Quick, take Apollo to Zeus, the God King"

...

In Magro City, Li Xuan and his companions once again arrived in this city. This time they were not here to look for treasure. To reach the giant territory given by Sorena, they had to pass through the central airship of Magro City.

The road after that was all land, and Li Xuan parked the yacht at the dock, with Sakuya Izayoi and Argo looking after it.

After arriving at the Xia family's intelligence point in Magro City and instructing them to verify the rumors, Li Xuan and the other two headed to Eldia, the territory where the giants were.

After boarding the airship to Eldia, I looked down and saw that the level of modern development of the West African continent was too low. Apart from the means of transportation that showed traces of modern technology, the environment was similar to the medieval environment in the storybooks.

Along the way, Li Xuan looked at the scenery outside the window, while Irene and Erza fell asleep on his shoulders. They got up too early today, and then went through the Apollo treasure incident. After relaxing, they both felt sleepy. They leaned on their men, smelling the increasingly comfortable warm breath, and went to catch up on their sleep.

As the airship reached Eldia, Li Xuan noticed three teenagers who were discussing something on the airship. There were two boys and one girl, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. Hearing these three familiar names, Li Xuan turned his gaze over, but the expensive clothes on the three people did not match the impression Li Xuan had of them.

However, Li Xuan felt a hidden aura from Allen, which was not very strong and was still inferior to the giant guarding the gate of Apollo's treasure.

Li Xuan's Golden Crow eyes lit up slightly, and the hidden energy in Alan's body was immediately seen.

A power that strengthens the body lurks in Allen's blood. Seeing this power, Li Xuan confirmed the identities of these three people. They are indeed acquaintances, exhibitionists who run around without clothes after transforming.

But now it seems that Allen and the other two are from the same family.

"We are about to arrive in Eldia, please prepare yourselves"

The airship waiter's voice was played inside the airship, and Li Xuan gently woke up Erza and Irene.

When leaving, the few extra pieces of white paper in Li Xuan's hand turned into ashes. The service girl on the airship came to her senses only after she saw Li Xuan had left for a long distance. She tightened her long legs, sighed, and felt lost.

Eldia is a city in a small country called the Walled Kingdom. Although it is called a city, it is more like a medieval town building in comparison. Brick and tile buildings can be seen everywhere, and reinforced concrete is rarely seen. Instead, the towns and cities are surrounded by thick and wide walls that are more than ten meters high.

This is the characteristic of the Wall Country.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Mikasa was a girl in the team after all, and her observation skills were more careful than the two careless boys. When she was on the airship, she noticed Li Xuan, the incredibly handsome young man, and two other very beautiful red-haired girls, and Li Xuan also looked at the three of them several times.

Now they have arrived in Eldia. The three of them have walked almost half the distance of the town. Mikasa saw that Li Xuan and the other two were still following her direction, so she grabbed Eren and Armin, turned to look at Li Xuan and the other two, and asked a question.

Mikasa originally thought that the three were just tourists. Although the economy of Eldia is not very developed, the town has a wonder called the giant stone statue, which constantly attracts people from all over the world to visit.

Li Xuan saw Mikasa looking at him and smiled, "Well, my two fiancées and I heard that there is a giant stone statue here, so we came to visit, but we didn't seem to see it after walking for so long."

When Mikasa saw Li Xuan smiling at her, a blush instantly rose on her face. She quickly turned her head, took a few deep breaths, and then began to explain, "The giant stone statue is not in the town. If you want to go, I can be your guide and take you to visit it."

After hearing what Mikasa said, Eren and Armin looked at Mikasa with some confusion, "Mikasa, aren't you going to hurry back to see Uncle Ackerman?"

"Stop nagging, Eren. You guys go back first. By the way, go and tell my father the news of the arrival of the distinguished guests. As the family in charge of Eldia's security, it is also our responsibility to provide guides for tourists." Mikasa rolled her eyes at Eren and Armin, then looked at Li Xuan with some anticipation.

In fact, Li Xuan was not interested in this handsome guy with breasts, but she was a beautiful girl after all. Although he didn't know whether she had abdominal muscles now, Li Xuan still did not reject Mikasa's expectations.

He nodded and thanked her, "Then please be our guide, Miss Mikasa."

After Li Xuan agreed, Mikasa showed a happy smile on her face and led the way in front. Erza got along well with Mikasa. If you listen carefully, you can hear that Mikasa and Erza are talking about some adventure rumors, which is exactly what Erza is interested in.

On the way out of the town, Erza learned from Mikasa the origin of the more than ten meters thick city walls surrounding the town.

Speaking of which, it is related to the destination that Mikasa is taking Li Xuan and the others to, the giant stone statue.

There is a long-standing rumor in the Wall Kingdom that at a certain special time, the giant stone statues outside the city will come alive and destroy the surrounding things.

The Wall Kingdom has built these thick walls in every town to guard against attacks from these giant stone statues.

However, up to now, there has been no incident of a giant stone statue coming to life, and many of the stone statues out there were carved by later craftsmen and then made to look old.

"If there really is a giant stone statue that can move, it should be this one, the Beast Titan," Mikasa led Li Xuan and the other two to the location of the giant stone statue, then pointed to the innermost statue and spoke.

This stone statue, called the Beast Titan by Mikasa, is about six or seven meters tall. Unlike the human-shaped faces of other giant stone statues, the Beast Titan's face is that of an unknown beast.

"I heard that this statue mysteriously disappeared one night a few years ago, and returned to its location the next day, leaving only a huge footprint on the ground," Mikasa explained seriously to Erza who was listening attentively.

Li Xuan and Irene had black lines on their foreheads. One dares to speak and the other dares to listen, right?

Irene's additional attribute can easily sense the breath of life. In her perception, these giants are really just a pile of stones without any flow of life. Li Xuan's eyes flashed with golden light and he discovered a clue, but he had no intention of saying it for the time being.

Chapter 231: Rumors of Giants

"Eh? If that's the case, then what's the purpose of carving these giant stone statues? They're carving giant stone statues and building high walls at the same time. They can't be fighting against themselves, right?" Erza's little head was full of confusion.

Mikasa couldn't explain this reason either. Although her family had existed in Eldia for more than two hundred years, there was still no record of the connection between the two.

But every few years, an order would come from the capital of the Wall Kingdom to build a giant stone statue.

"Also, these giant stone statues are so strange, so ugly, and bald. It's like they have no skin on the outside. They are all carved out of muscle tissue," Erza once again complained about the aesthetic of the craftsmen in the Wall Country.

Mikasa agreed with this view, and she also thought that these stone sculptures were really ugly.

After visiting the giant stone sculpture, Mikasa invited Li Xuan and the other two to her home. Seeing that Li Xuan had no objection, Erza agreed, and the three followed Mikasa back into the town.

Mikasa Ackerman, Eren Yeager, Armin Arnold.

The three of them are the three major security management families in Eldia and have been responsible for managing the security of Eldia for more than two hundred years. In many small countries in West Africa, there is no such profession as Uncle Hat. It is the families that have been passed down to maintain the territories of their respective kings.

"Father, I'm back." Following Mikasa, they came to the last section of Eldia, where there were three separate building complexes, and in the center there was a clock tower-like building more than ten meters high, with three different badge patterns.

Mikasa brought Li Xuan and the other two to her own house, a small manor building. After entering the gate, Mikasa saw her father turning his head to look at her. Then a look of shock appeared on his face. He quickly stood up, walked over, and bowed deeply. "Terry Ackerman, greets Young Master Li Xuan, and welcomes Young Master Li Xuan."

"Father, what are you doing?" Mikasa was a little confused why her father was bowing so deeply to Li Xuanxing.

Terry never expected that his daughter would bring back someone who was countless times more noble than today's guest.
