LOL: Let me touch your steel

Zhang Xu understood the beautiful vision in Nicole's heart, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he was even more impressed by Nicole's naivety.

This kind of tribe...is probably almost the same as the world of Datong.

Where there are people, there will be fighting. Even in nature, all organisms are in fierce competition for survival. Plants compete for sunlight and nutrients, animals compete for territory and food, and compete for females to reproduce the next generation.

This is true for plants and animals, not to mention the more complex humans.

It is unrealistic to expect everyone to understand and help each other, and for all species to live in harmony and peace on the same land.

Therefore, the world that Nicole imagines can probably only exist in fantasy.

Chapter 112 I'm Sorry, Tsar!

Accompanied by a whistling energy surge, Taliyah and Qiyana's figures separated and landed on the branches of two big trees respectively.

The continuous casting of magic caused Taliyah to breathe heavily, but her determined eyes were still fixed on Qiyana, and a wave of energy condensed around her body again.

Qiyana's chest also rose and fell. She had never expected that Taliyah's strength would be so powerful.

Even though she possessed a greater amount of elemental magic, she was unable to do anything to Taliyah.

You know, those two humans with strange looks haven't taken any action yet!

Is this the real power of these outsiders?

Qiyana set her sights on Zhang Xu, who was resting on Kaisa.

Qiana saw the first attack clearly. It was the invisible power exerted by this guy that completely consumed all the magic she released.

In other words, this guy is very likely the most powerful among them.

Seeing the two stop, Zhang Xu stood up and stretched lazily:

"Huh? Don't you want to fight?"

There was a faint smile on Zhang Xu's lips, but this smile seemed like a mockery in Qiyana's eyes, as if mocking her for overestimating her own abilities, which deeply hurt Qiyana's heart.

Qiana, who was about to retreat, gritted her teeth, and the ring-shaped weapon in her hand suddenly emitted a dazzling luster.

Orange-red, emerald green, and light blue, three completely different lights appeared alternately on the weapon, and then, a huge amount of energy was instantly released!

Qiyana mobilized the power of the three elements at the same time, and the elemental magic gathered into a terrifying shock wave, sweeping towards Zhang Xu without any explanation!

This is the world's first shock wave!

This is also the magic that Qiyana is most proud of at present. Its power can even affect rivers, grass or walls, and even cause explosions!

However, Qiyana's plan was doomed to fail.

This powerful magic, which she named "Amazing Talent and Spectacular Sight", did not fall on Zhang Xu, and only left a faint trace in the air.

After a surge of twisted energy, the terrible shock wave disappeared in an instant!

It was as if it had never existed and was completely wiped out by an invisible force!

Qiana looked at the man with a smile on his face in disbelief. Until this moment, she truly felt the huge gap between herself and Zhang Xu!

Feeling the horror in Qiyana's heart, Zhang Xu's expression did not change at all, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial matter.

Of course, the real situation may not be much different.

If the Void is given a certain amount of time, it can even devour the entire world. Having mastered the energy of the void, it is naturally easy for him to devour elemental magic.

In Zhang Xu's opinion, Qiyana does have an extremely terrifying magical talent.

Although she couldn't compare to a natural 'monster' like Syndra, Qiyana's magical talent was definitely one of the best. Given time, she could indeed become the Elemental Queen who ruled over the entire Ixtal, but not now.

In Zhang Xu's opinion, since she has not yet fully realized her talent, she is no different from a child.

Zhang Xu inexplicably thought of Jilan. Perhaps in Jilan's view, the magic he mastered now was similar to that of a child?

Zhang Xu pursed his lips and smiled playfully:

"Are you angry now? Can we have a good talk?"

Zhang Xu's gaze fell on Qiyana, and an indescribable pressure instantly surrounded Qiyana. Under this oppression, Qiyana found that she could not fully control her body at all.

The thought of creating an opportunity to escape was ruthlessly extinguished before it even arose.

The situation was stronger than the person, and Qiyana could only lower her noble head helplessly.

But it was impossible to make her, who always hated outsiders, have a good face. She still snorted coldly, expressing her disdain for Zhang Xu:

"I have nothing to discuss with you Piltover folks!"

"Mrs. Piltover? I think you are mistaken. We are from Shurima."

Taliyah couldn't help but refute, and at the same time she felt a sense of mutual respect in her heart.

She always felt that Qiyana was constantly challenging the master's bottom line of patience. If Qiyana continued to provoke her like this, the master would probably get angry...

Having finally found an opponent who could compete with her on equal terms, Taliyah always had some kindness in her heart.

“Shuriman?”

Qiana frowned, looking a little strange.

As a child of the Ixokon court, Qiyana certainly knew the ancient history and origins between Ixtal and Shurima, and Qiyana herself was full of curiosity about this ancient country that once ruled Ixtal.

If there is only one place where outsiders are not rejected and hated by her, it must be Shurima.

If Taliyah had told them they were from Shurima, this fight might not have happened at all.

Qiana's expression suddenly froze. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have preconceived that they were Mrs. Piltover, and she started fighting right away, not giving them a chance to speak.

Thinking of this, Qiyana patted her head in annoyance.

"Why did you come to Ixtal instead of staying in Shurima?"

Qiana raised her head again and looked at Zhang Xu.

She realized that Zhang Xu was the real leader among the group.

Hearing this, Zhang Xu calmly gave a faint smile. He had already thought of a suitable excuse when Taliyah and Qiyana were fighting.

Under Qiyana's gaze, Zhang Xu chuckled and said, "Following the orders of the Lord of Shurima, we are heading to Ixoken to search for records of the Ascended Ones. Also... meet the current leader of Ixtal."

Zhang Xu threw the blame directly to the Tsar without any resistance.

Anyway, Ixtal has been isolated from the world, and they have no way to find the Tsar to confirm the authenticity of his words... As for whether the Ixoken people will believe his words, Zhang Xu believes that the ascension energy is enough to prove it to them.

He who possesses the energy of ascension is the messenger sent by the Tsar!

I'm sorry, Tsar! Please bear the blame for this for now!

"Shuriman... Lord? Are you kidding me?"

Qiyana glared at Zhang Xu unhappily, as if to say, "Don't treat me like a child." "Who doesn't know that the Shurima Empire has disappeared for thousands of years?"

Chapter 113 By any means necessary

"The Shurima Empire has returned to the world."

Taliyah answered eagerly, her slightly dark face full of amazement: "We witnessed the resurrection of Azir, the Emperor of Shurima, with our own eyes. The scene was shocking!"

Qiyana opened her mouth, her face full of confusion.

Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire, was tyrannical and demanded the Ascension Ceremony, which eventually led to the destruction of the entire Shurima and triggered the Darkin War that lasted for hundreds of years.

This is what is recorded in the court of Ishuoken, and it is knowledge that every child growing up in the palace must learn.

How could a person who had died long ago be resurrected thousands of years later?

but...

A hint of hesitation flashed across Qiana's face. It seemed that they had no reason to lie to her.

There was no point in deceiving her about such a big thing, because she could get confirmation at any time.

Qiyana pursed her lips. Many lessons had taught her to think, and she soon raised a new question:

"You said you were sent by the Desert Emperor, but how can you prove it? I can't just believe you if you say so, right?"

Zhang Xu knew that Qiyana would ask this. Even if Qiyana didn’t ask, someone else would definitely ask.

Zhang Xu did not hesitate too much and directly stretched out his left hand. A very obvious energy instantly gathered in his palm.

The energy filled with a warm breath filled the entire space. Qiyana, who was standing not far from Zhang Xu, could clearly feel the brilliance contained in this energy.

That is...the light of the sun!

Zhang Xu smiled, because the energy of ascension was surging in his palm, and he looked justified:

"Ixuoken should be familiar with the energy and aura of the Ascended Ones. This should be enough to prove my identity."

Qiana nodded silently. Although she had no way of accurately distinguishing whether this energy was the ascension energy or not, she felt the warm and neutral aura in it and believed it most of the time.

"Ixokon will never return to Shurima, so your visit is meaningless."

Qiana shook her head and was not optimistic about Zhang Xu's purpose.

As early as the Void War, Ixokon had actually used the endless wilderness as a barrier to isolate the outside world. Although Ixokon's mages still devoted their all to that war, Ixtal at that time could actually be considered to be half-separated from Shurima.

By the time the last emperor Azir fell and Shurima collapsed and was destroyed, Ixtal had completely sealed off the land.

Protect the little heritage left in this world and completely isolate yourself from the outside world.

Even if the Desert Emperor were to return to the world, he would no longer have anything to do with Ixtal and Ixokhen.

The same would be true even if Azir were actually here in person.

"So this time I am just paying a visit. I am not asking Ixtal to return to Shurima right now. Moreover, the most important purpose of my visit this time is to read the records about the Ascended Ones."

"The fall of Shurima was so sudden that even the empire's library was destroyed, so these records from thousands of years ago are extremely important."

Kaisa and Taliyah looked at Zhang Xu in amazement. If they didn't know that Zhang Xu and Azir had nothing to do with each other, they would probably have believed it first.

It's like it's true.

Nidalee and Neeko on the side even believed it and really thought that Zhang Xu was an envoy from Shurima, representing the Desert Emperor and the rebuilt Shurima.

Although it is not clear what kind of guy the Desert Emperor is, since he is an emperor, he must be very powerful, right?

What's more, the entire Ixtal was once the territory of Shurima...
