Drawing the Blueprint (Preview)
If he wanted to become a true expert, self-discipline was necessary. He could not succumb to his desires. Whoever could best control their desires would be the most likely to succeed. These words, while not necessarily the truth, it was very logical.
Nodding his head with certainty, he affirmed that he would remain abstinent before breaking through. Xin Yun continued to ponder on to the second point. Summarizing his previous life’s experiences, the second point quickly appeared.
Strength absolutely had to be established. The saying goes, a fence needs the support of three stakes, and a good man needs the support of three other people. Although the use of a large-scale army was pointless, having helpers was necessary, but… establishing strength required set up, which could not be done openly.
In his previous life, the army that Xin Yun built up could not be called small. It could be described as being one hundred thousand strong, but following Xin Yun’s rise to prominence, many problems arose one after the other.
Once power became prominent, it became very hard to hide. One could only place it out in the open, where it would be open to attacks and ambushes from any side at any time. It could truly be described as suffering untold hardships. It felt like a nightmare that Xin Yun still remembers even now.
Building up power was absolutely necessary, but human-wave tactics were useless. Then let’s go with few and elite this time. Also, this power would definitely not be placed out in the open. This life, it was his turn to harm others. Guerrila tactics? Xin Yun was far more proficient than anyone else in this world.
Now that he thought about it, it seemed a little sad. In his previous life, Xin Yun’s army of one hundred thousand was actually defeated by a small group of around one hundred people. That’s right… it was torturous. It was a collapse! Although they were not a large group, each one was individually quite strong. They would hit and run, and they definitely would not engage fully. Even for Xin Yun’s army of one hundred thousand, within three years, it was completely tortured to the point of collapse.
Un, un, un… He nodded repeatedly. Xin Yun tightly clenched his fist. He had to find a place to form his own base where none could hope to find it. Like this, he would only ever be on the offensive and none could ever harm his base.
As for the location of his base, hehe… There’s no need to choose. As someone who had been reborn, Xin Yun had already made the best choice. It was a place that would eventually become the most scenic place. He would simply go and take it. That place was definitely hidden well and hard to attack; furthermore, the scenery was amazing. There were simply too many benefits to list…
Thinking about that, Xin Yun smiled with joy. The second point of hiding and secretly growing stronger, in this life, only Xin Yun would conspire against others. None could ever think of conspiring against him, Xin Yun.
Next was the third point. Since he had already decided to establish a small force, deciding the members had to be done. When there was a restriction on how many members there could be, each member had to be sufficiently strong.
As for the reborn Xin Yun, there was nothing more emotional than choosing members, hehe… Of the nine top experts, he could not miss out on any of the three he idolized the most!
First was the sixth ranked, Yi Luo Xiang. That’s right… Right now, she was currently at the bottom of a well, next to Xin Yun, not even ten meters away. No matter what, Xin Yun was determined to at least have her as a team mate, even if she could not become his wife.
Next was the seventh ranked Phantom Evil Empress, real name Yan Qing Ying. Although this girl was ranked lower, her talent was too special. If it were a one-on-one fight, then perhaps she would only place seventh; however, in a team setting, she was definitely ranked first! This was impossible to refute.
But for the time being, there was still no way to find this girl. Right now, she should have been taken away from the brothel by the evil dragon clan. She would only appear in two years time, hehe… With just a little bit a money, she could be purchased. Xin Yun’s ability to find such a good deal was unparalleled, as he had lived two lives.
As for the third, was there a need to ask? Naturally, it would be the third ranked and absolute strongest Peacock King- Ming Xuan! If he wanted, Xin Yun could quickly go and take him in, but…. Xin Yun did not dare do it that way.
The reason Ming Xuan became the absolute strongest was closely tied to his living environment. It was precisely because he suffered from bullying and had no dignity or respect that he put forth so much effort in cultivating. Only through that, did he cultivate his extraordinary skills. If he took him in too early, then he worried that he would have insufficient experience and become mediocre.
Of course, it wasn’t as though Xin Yun hadn’t considered taking him in then personally mistreating him, but Xin Yun was afraid. He feared that when the child grew strong, he may turn his spear against him and directly kill him. Even if this didn’t happen, he could leave in indignation. This too was something Xin Yun could not accept.
The most dazzling dragon- Peacock King Ming Xuan, the most beautiful dragon- Dazzling Butterfly Yi Luo Xiang, and the most evil dragon- Empress Yan Qing Ying, these were the three that Xin Yun had in mind when forming an unstoppable team. Once they joined up with him, hehe… what would this world have that could cause him any dread? Thinking up to this point, Xin Yun could not help but grin. His smile was extremely bright.
Of course, some will ask, since they could be found, why not bring together all nine top experts? Wouldn’t that be more eye-catching? Wouldn’t that be more domineering?
Speaking realistically, it wasn’t as though Xin Yun hadn’t considered this line of thought, but even if you thought using your knees, this was something of an impossibility.
Simply put, those guys weren’t just strong. Their family backgrounds and strength were even more powerful. Speaking of taking them in was much too funny. Forget taking them in, even Xin Yun turning around and joining them might be turned away.
Of the nine top experts, there were only three with grassroots foundation. Everyone else had too deep a foundation. They were so deep that even Xin Yun could not see the bottom. Speaking again as a fan of Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qing Ying and Ming Xuan, Xin Yun had only really researched those three. As for the others, even if he wanted to research them, there was nowhere to acquire any information.
It could be said that based on Xin Yun’s current abilities, Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qing Ying and Ming Xuan were all people he could definitely take in. As for others, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he could not. Such was the case.
For the selection of team members, there did not seem to be any problems. With these three heavenly kings together, others were not wanted. At least the minimum force was no longer needed, hehe… Once Xin Yun had scraped together all of this, then he would always have three of the nine top experts as team mates. They would be very powerful! Thinking about it would make people’s scalp feel tingly.
Next was the fourth point. Wealth was still necessary. As the saying goes, money can’t do everything, but without money, everything is impossible. But in this life, Xin Yun did not want to waste his energy on this sort of thing. He had to earn money, but just a few times would be enough. Under normal circumstances, if he needed to earn money, then it would need to be combined with strengthening himself. If strengthening himself was not possible, then that money would simply not be earned.
“Ha…” As he pondered, Xin Yun subconsciously yawned. He was beginning to feel a little sleepy. The current Xin Yun was still merely just a seven year old child. After working for so long, he was already sleepy. Although there were many things he had not thought about, there was still plenty of time in the future.
Moving his body to a more comfortable position, he lay down. Not long later, the uniform sounds of Xin Yun’s snoring could be heard.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, finally… Xin Yun was awoken by a noisy voice. Drowsily opening his eyes, he saw the four boys with their heads raised and hands cupped around their mouths. They were shouting loudly towards the opening of the well for someone to save them.
Seeing this, Xin Yun could not help but curl his lips. The battle outside had already ended. Everyone had already died. It would be half a month before anyone would come, much less save them. Before this, they could only bear with it…
Xin Yun turned his head and continued to sleep. He no longer felt anything towards the tragedy that occurred in the village. He lived his previous life iron-willed and had long become used to death. The small battle was considered nothing to him.
If it were the previous him, then he could handle those troublemakers on his own. On his own, he could take down an entire regiment, but now he had returned to the past. He had become a child of seven-and-a-half year old child. He became a child that hadn’t even summoned his own dragon yet. So helpless…
