"The distance is indeed a bit too far; it’s quite challenging to get a hole-in-one on a par five," Mr. Yu was saying as Li Xiu had already hit the ball into the air.
He was still using the sa iron club as before, typically used for tee shots on a par three, not really suitable for hitting long distances.
Li Xiu started with this club and never changed it.
At the mont of striking the ball, a skill brand appeared on Li Xiu’s finger, which was an E-level Blood Boiling Skill.
With the swinging of Li Xiu’s hands and waist, the club head struck the white ball, sending it flying high towards the direction of the green.
Seeing the ball flying high and far, and even heading towards the green, Boss Zhou suddenly stood up and walked directly to the tee box with a pair of binoculars to take a closer look.
"No way... impossible... it can’t go in..." Boss Zhou’s expression kept changing, his mouth twitching as if he was about to shout out his thoughts.
Clang!
The ball went straight into the hole once again, clean and without any hesitation.
"This is doable..." Boss Zhou stared blankly, feeling a bit numb, now doubting whether Li Xiu was a simulation robot, as it seed impossible for a normal person to play with such accuracy.
This was a hole more than five hundred yards away; a hole-in-one like this was sothing Boss Zhou had never seen in his entire golfing life.
Not to ntion Boss Zhou, even Chu Jun was dumbfounded; this wasn’t playing golf anymore, it was like firing a missile with a tracking device.
"Li Xiu, you’re incredible, this shot is as accurate as a guided missile," Chu Jun said happily to Li Xiu.
Upon hearing Chu Jun’s words, Boss Zhou was intrigued, stopped playing, and had his bodyguard retrieve the ball Li Xiu hit, splitting it in half, suspecting that there might be so tracking device inside, otherwise, how could it be so accurate.
Boss Zhou had already forgotten that this was his own ball.
Of course, the result was that there was nothing inside, only making Boss Zhou more depressed.
For the next hole, Boss Zhou didn’t play anymore because there was nothing worth playing—as Li Xiu got a hole-in-one every ti, Boss Zhou felt that golf had lost its aning, and he didn’t want to play it anymore.
"Not playing anymore, just tell how many gemstones you need." Watching Li Xiu get another hole-in-one, Boss Zhou simply threw down the club in his hand.
"Boss Zhou, I don’t want much, just the five gemstones we previously agreed upon, I’ll purchase them at the agreed price," Chu Jun said, suppressing his inner excitent.
"No need to pay, the gemstones are on , can I borrow this young man?" Boss Zhou directly had a bodyguard bring a box full of gemstones and opened it to reveal large and small gems, with many over three or five carats, and larger ones in over a dozen carats, all high-end rubies and sapphires, not the cheap tourmaline stones.
Boss Zhou picked out five sapphires and handed them to Chu Jun, his gaze fixed on Li Xiu without discussing the price at all.
"Boss Zhou, Li Xiu has no intention to offend, this is all my fault..." Chu Jun hurriedly said.
"You’ve misunderstood, I’m not trying to trouble him, just want to chat with this young man, exchange so tips and experiences, nothing more." Boss Zhou waved his hand hastily, only wanting to know how Li Xiu could play so accurately.
"This..." Chu Jun found it hard to decide, so he looked at Li Xiu.
"No problem." Li Xiu nodded in agreent.
Boss Zhou was overjoyed, pulling Li Xiu directly into his car, eagerly asking, "Young man, could you tell , do you have any tricks when playing, how could you play so accurately?"
"It’s not really a trick; I once gained talent to enhance control and accuracy in a trial ground..." Li Xiu attributed it all to the Trial Taker’s talent.
"Ah, so you’re a Trial Taker; trial takers who can gain talent are not simple, and I didn’t expect you to achieve such feats at such a young age, your future achievents are limitless..." Boss Zhou kept praising Li Xiu, almost raising him to the skies.
In the car behind, Chu Jun’s expression grew more peculiar; the Gem King of Red Sand City, Zhou Bailong, flattering a young man and doing so quite elegantly, if this got out, nobody would believe it.
Though the five main cities of the Southern Cross Federation are said to be equals, in na sothing standing equal.
But in reality, Red Sand City wields the most power among the five, as it produces the world’s finest rubies, and also the best sapphires, making its standing as the strongest among the cities.
Of course, Tyrone City can hardly be considered one of the five main cities anymore, as even so towns with slightly better developnt are doing better than Tyrone City’s current situation.
Zhou Bailong, proclaid the Gem King of Red Sand City, holds shares in at least a third of Red Sand City’s gemstone mines.
In fact, he has shares in many gemstone mines across the Southern Cross Federation.
Such a bigwig, with just this one hobby, happened to be caught by Li Xiu, and Zhou Bailong was smitten by it, eager to find out which trial ground could give him the sa ability as Li Xiu’s; he seed all set to give it a try himself.
Of course, even if Zhou Bailong wanted to go, it’s unlikely anyone would actually dare to let him in.
If anything were to happen to Zhou Bailong, it would spell major trouble for the Southern Cross Federation.
Zhou Bailong invited Li Xiu and Chu Jun, along with Mr. Yu, to have dinner together, specifically seating Li Xiu next to him, looking quite cordial.
Initially, Chu Jun wanted Li Xiu to appraise his gemstones, but now it was unnecessary because Zhou Bailong wouldn’t take his money—five sapphires, each over three carats, were all given for free; who needs an appraisal for free gems?
