Thinking about it, it's not surprising, since Lu Xuan didn't directly erase the negative personality within Jia'er despite her strong pleas.
However, in the "Steel Plate Mask Man Incident", Lu Xuan once showed his unreasonable and domineering side.
After being frightened by Lu Xuan, Jia'er's negative personality would probably have to think twice before Lu Xuan showed any mercy next time if it wanted to resurface.
"I think this is a good thing. At least I don't have to worry about you getting into any more problems."
Unlike Kari and Kuzuha Jiro, the Shadow Master showed a more open-minded attitude towards this.
Regarding Kari's training, Master Shadow has always held the same view as Daigo and Saki—that is, whatever is suitable is fine.
Compared to those real monsters and cultivators, Kari's initial goal in cultivating was to control the dark power within her body.
Now that this goal has been achieved, there is no point in Jia'er continuing her training.
Therefore, Master Ying has always held an attitude of "it's okay if Jia'er continues her cultivation, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't" regarding whether Jia'er should continue her cultivation.
"No, I'm determined to convince her!"
Jia'er unequivocally opposed Shadow Mage's attitude.
"I want to help Uncle Lu and Brother Da Gu. I definitely won't hold them back!"
They exchanged a helpless glance. Just as Kuzunoha Jiro and the Shadow Monk were about to say something more, Kari changed the subject again.
"By the way, what have Uncle Lu and Brother Da Gu been busy with lately?"
"It seems like I haven't seen them for a while now?"
He shrugged slightly, making no attempt to hide the truth.
"I heard that a supernatural phenomenon occurred at a construction site contracted by the Galvin Group, so Uncle Lu and Brother Da Gu went to the site to investigate."
"According to an unreliable rumor, this appears to be an unofficial collaboration between the Victory team?"

Chapter 406 Perfect Memory Metal
The southwestern islands, Kurarajima.
This is a small island located in the southwestern islands of Japan, and its area is not very large.
However, due to the abundance of mineral resources here, the quarries located here are quite famous throughout Japan.
Of course, if that's all there is to it, Kurarajima isn't really a very famous place.
What truly made Kurarajima internationally renowned was the recent dispute between Galvin Corporation and several global giants over the mining rights there, which even took the case to the Japanese government.
According to declassified information, the reason these giants were vying for the mining rights on Kurara Island was because the ore there could be smelted into highly reactive and strong metals.
This special metal possesses strong shape memory properties and strength comparable to titanium alloys.
Under certain conditions, even if these metals are broken and twisted, they can quickly return to their original state when they left the factory.
In other words, this is a perfect memory metal that almost only exists in science fiction.
Whether used as aerospace materials or for deep-sea exploration, this special shape memory metal has a very broad market.
Not to mention, TPC recently created a mechanical giant comparable to Ultraman Tiga.
Since the disappearance of the mechanical island, due to the lack of key materials...
Even though Masaki Keigo left behind all the manufacturing technology of the Machine Titan, TPC was never able to replicate it.
After all, the special materials of the Mechanical Island are the key to truly breaking through the limits of materials science and creating mechanical giants.
However, the special ore mined from Kurayara Island can compensate for the material's defects to some extent, making it possible to recreate the Mechanical Titan.
As a result, TPC's top management is paying close attention to the final ownership of Kurarajima.
In fact, the lawsuit between the major players lasted for a long time, and the Japanese government even wanted to take the opportunity to reclaim the mining site on Kurara Island.
However, the Galvin Group ultimately acquired ownership of the Kurarajima mining site by exchanging technology for resources.
Since then, Kurarajima has implemented a semi-closed management system, and several advanced materials science research laboratories have been built inside.
The high-performance shape memory metal produced by the Galvin Group naturally became one of its most outstanding flagship products.
Compared to the original mine, the mine taken over by the Galvin Group has achieved significant breakthroughs in both production and technology.
Firstly, in terms of output.
The Galvin Group has successfully achieved mass production of shape memory metals.
The laboratory located inside Kurara Island has even begun to consider the possibility of artificially synthesizing this shape-memory metal.
Secondly, there are technological breakthroughs.
The Galvin Group has essentially maximized the properties of shape memory metals.
Nanoscale metal weaving technology has the potential to drive progress in the entire field of materials science.
Using shape memory metal to weave clothing and manufacture bulletproof vests are just the initial applications of this technology.
Combining some of the technologies of the mechanical giants and using this shape-memory metal as the basic building block of mechanical life is what the Galvin Group wants to do next.
Undoubtedly, creating mechanical life forms that are stronger than carbon-based organisms is already exploring the forbidden zone of God.
Having learned from the experience of the mechanical giants, TPC has been closely monitoring the experiments being conducted privately by the Galvin Group.
Related technological breakthroughs require the Galvin Group to summarize and report them immediately.
Therefore, when a suspected "supernatural event" occurred on Kurara Island, the GUTS team immediately contacted Galvin and strongly requested to carry out this mission together.

"What mischief have you gotten yourself into now?"
Walking at the back of the group, Daigo glanced at Lu Xuan beside him without making a sound, and then asked in a low voice.
At this moment, Lu Xuan did not appear as President Tony, but as his original teenage self.
On the surface, Lu Xuan is the adopted son of President Tony, and also a prodigy selected from Gavin Group's "Genius Youth Program".
In TPC's intelligence network, it seems that President Tony Stark has been somewhat frightened since the Mechanical Titan incident.
Not only did he gradually step back from the limelight, but he also slowly transferred control of the Galvin Group to his adopted son.
Considering that President Tony has no children and the possible ambiguous relationship between him and Saki.
A significant number of people within TPC believe that the adopted son named "Lu Xuan" is actually his child with Saki.
This young man possesses such high intelligence because he inherited the superior genes of aliens, and was able to successfully take over the important task of the Galvin Group.
Unfortunately, all of the above speculations are just that—speculations.
President Tony has never given a direct answer to this question.
Saki, on the other hand, would always reveal a bright smile whenever she heard similar rumors.
"I really didn't do it this time..."
Knowing his own credibility in Daigu, Lu Xuan glared at the other party with a hint of helplessness.
"If something went wrong with my experiment, the impact would definitely not be this small."
"Besides, I have never studied any petrochemical projects, let alone the technology to turn humans into stone sculptures."
After a slight pause, Lu Xuan continued in a tone that Daigo found rather arrogant.
"The conversion technology between carbon-based and silicon-based materials is too rudimentary and has no research value whatsoever."
"Instead of spending precious time researching unnecessary technologies, I'm more interested in building 'stargates' that enable interstellar travel."
Unable to resist blinking, Daigo felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.
"So what happened this time?"
The message received by the Victory Team emphasized the supernatural phenomenon that appeared to be "human petrification" on Kurara Island.
All relevant personnel have been evacuated to a safe area.
The petrified human statues were immediately sent to specific research and medical institutions.
Meanwhile, in order to investigate the ins and outs of this incident, the GUTS team also dispatched four members, Munakata, Shinjo, Daigo, and Rena, to the scene to conduct an investigation.
"I think I know what happened..."
"However, we'll have to wait and see before making a decision."
Instead of directly answering Daigo's question, Lu Xuan simply looked up at Munakata, Shinjo, and Rena, who were walking at the front, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Chapter 407 The Myth of the Stone
Kurarajima Island, an open-pit mining center.
When Lu Xuan accompanied the Victory Team to this place, it was already surrounded by various advanced instruments.
The area was surrounded by layers upon layers of security personnel, who were determined not to let even a fly get in or out.
"is it here?"
After confirming that this was indeed their destination, Zong Fang turned to Lu Xuan and asked.
In Zong Fang's view, the Galvin Group sent Lu Xuan simply to supervise the Victory Team's mission execution.
After all, this is Gavin Group's territory, and even if it's just to save face, Gavin Group has to send people to keep an eye on things.
"That's right, it's here."
Upon hearing Zong Fang's question, Lu Xuan nodded calmly.
This maturity beyond her years left Xincheng and Lina both stunned.
At the same time, the two finally understood why President Tony was grooming this fifteen-year-old boy as his successor.
"You've seen the information, haven't you? Aren't you scared?"
Under Daigo's shocked gaze, Rena walked over to Lu Xuan's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Turning his head to look at the somewhat bewildered Daigo, Lu Xuan suddenly laughed.
“If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have come with you.”
"What exactly caused the workers to be petrified remains a mystery."
"I believe that with the Victory Team around, they will definitely be able to find out the truth about that thing."
Upon hearing this, Xincheng, who had come forward, chimed in.
"As far as I know, there seem to be a few workers who still haven't been found, right?"
Aren't you afraid of ending up like them?
With a touch of curiosity, Shinjo wanted to know whether the boy in front of him was truly fearless or simply bluffing.
"But haven't more workers already been found?"
Unfazed by the words that were spoken, Lu Xuan calmly countered with a question.
“If we were to simply ignore this incident out of fear, that would not be the style of the Galvin Group.”
"After all, this is the origin of shape memory metals. If we don't figure out what happened here, it will seriously affect the production of shape memory metals."
"Since I am the president's designated successor, it is my duty to maintain the normal operation of the Galvin Group."
"Moreover, even without any prior preparation when the accident occurred, we were able to evacuate people and rescue workers in a timely manner..."
"Given the current level of preparedness, the likelihood of encountering danger is actually quite low."
Lu Xuan's words were so eloquent and reasonable that they left Xincheng and Lina completely bewildered once again.
Without knowing how sincere Lu Xuan's words were.
The two could only look at each other blankly, feeling that they had gained a new understanding of the young man in front of them.
The other party not only appears somewhat mature, but is also tactful and experienced in all aspects of interpersonal relationships.
If it weren't for the fact that the other person didn't look that old.
