"Senior Brother He, what are the prices for soul guide materials offered on the black market?" Huo Yuhao asked He Caitou.
He Caitou shook his head and said, "Although initially, with the Su family's support, the Tang Sect's development was completely worry-free. Regarding soul guide materials, especially rare metals, we were able to obtain them at extremely low costs because Su Yu had negotiated a cooperation agreement with the head of the Mingde Hall. However, since that incident, all our materials have been monopolized by the Star Luo Empire's royal family, and we can't buy rare metals at all. Moreover, after that incident, the Sun Moon Empire has never exported rare metals to the three great empires again, and even if they did, the prices were ridiculously high. As for the black market, forget about it; because we couldn't establish connections, their prices are 30% higher than the ordinary black market prices..."
Tang Ya frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean our Tang Clan is going to be facing a shortage of rare metals again?"
"I guess so. The Su family has suffered such a huge incident, it's unlikely they'll continue to provide us with assistance. Besides, we already owe Su Yu far too much, it would be really too much to trouble him again. Junior Brother Wang Dong, don't tell Su Yu about this. We really wouldn't feel right troubling him any further." Bei Bei knew that owing others too much wasn't necessarily a good thing, and the Tang Clan was still relatively unknown and couldn't bring any return to the Su family.
Before that incident, the Tang Clan could weather any period smoothly until it was completely stable. But after that incident, the Tang Clan had to rely on itself.
As for what that incident was, it was the incident in which more than a hundred members of the Su family perished in an attack by the Holy Spirit Cult.
However, they did not know that it was just a means for Su Yu to transfer his clansmen out of the Star Luo Empire.
"But even if I don't say it, do you think Su Yu can't guess?" Wang Dong'er looked at Bei Bei with some difficulty.
Huo Yuhao covered his forehead and sighed, "That's true..."
He Caitou thought with a headache about the merchants who refused to budge. "I'll try to contact them again tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll have to find someone else to make the connection. I just don't know how much the academy can help us. After all, a level six soul master like me doesn't represent much value, or how much profit I can bring them. The black market is a place where profit matters. We don't have abundant funds, nor can we bring much profit, so we're naturally the ones who get slaughtered."
"How about I ask the family to allocate some money?" Xu Sanshi scratched his head and said.
"How about I ask the academy to allocate some money?" Bei Bei thought for a moment and asked Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao: "…………"
"Alright, consider it a loan from you. I'll pay you back when I'm able." At Huo Yuhao's prompting, Tang Ya reluctantly nodded in agreement.
It is an indisputable fact that relying on the power of outsiders is ultimately limited.
If they have the ability, someone will naturally provide them with a stage, just like Su Yu, who was recruited by Jing Hongchen and placed high hopes on by the Sea God Pavilion. Su Yu's value has always been terrifyingly high.
"Wang Dong, has Su Yu contacted you recently?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Wang Dong'er nodded and said, "Yes, but he seems to be in seclusion recently. According to him, he is about to break through level 60, so he probably won't be coming out of seclusion anytime soon."
"What? Su Yu is about to break through to level 60?" Even Bei Bei was surprised by this. The last time Su Yu left, he was a quasi-Soul King. This time when she saw Su Yu again, he was already a quasi-Soul Emperor?
These words were like a bombshell that exploded in everyone's hearts.
In just over a year, Su Yu's soul power increased by ten levels again, from Soul King to Soul Emperor!
"If he comes to participate, wouldn't we not have to worry about the Sun and Moon Team at all? Ah, why did this happen!" Xu Sanshi felt like his worldview was about to collapse.
This is something that causes Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, or rather, the entire Shrek Seven Devils, pain.
"Senior Brother Xu, if you had Su Yu's strength, you could also go from Soul King to Soul Emperor in a year," Xiao Xiao retorted without any politeness.
"If I had that ability, I would have... I would have..." Xu Sanshi glanced at Bei Bei, then stopped talking.
Beibei glanced at Xu Sanshi with some confusion and asked, "Why are you looking at me? What's wrong with you? You've been thinking about it for a while, but you don't have the guts to say it, right?"
"You've been the captain for a long time. Otherwise, how could you, Beibei, be the captain, and how could that guy Su Yu be the captain?"
Xu Sanshi answered angrily, but was that really what he thought? Bei Bei actually knew what Xu Sanshi was thinking, but she didn't point it out. After all, Xu Sanshi was looking at Bei Bei, but he might not be thinking about Bei Bei, but rather about Jiang Nannan who was nearby.
After the incident with the Sea God, Xu Sanshi had no further contact with Jiang Nannan, except for their joint operations within the team.
"I think we should think about how to deal with the upcoming matches. After all, there are still more troubles to come. I feel that the Holy Spirit Sect team is not that simple, and I don't want to fight against the Body Sect team either, after all..." Huo Yuhao felt a headache just thinking about the Body Sect team. When Elder Mu sent him to the Body Sect, he never expected that he would end up like this.
…………
The competition has entered its fourth round. Due to the large number of teams, each round of the competition will be completed within several days. The fourth round is not over yet. If the fourth round ends, there will probably be about twenty teams left, not counting those who forfeit or withdraw from the competition for other reasons.
The remaining twenty teams will compete in the fifth round to determine the top ten, then the top eight will be determined by points, and finally the top four will be determined in the sixth round.
The time interval between the semi-finals and the finals was only five days. If it weren't for the injury factor, the original time interval would have been less than three days.
The Tang Clan's competition is also in the fourth round. The opponents in the first three rounds are not very strong. Although there is an element of luck in the draw, there is a certain pattern to the draw for each group. After all, no one wants anyone to take advantage of the situation.
The Shrek Academy members looked at the Tang Clan members with intense, almost hostile, gazes, though not exactly friendly.
Looking at Wang Qiu'er from Shrek Academy, Wang Dong'er politely waved to her, and Wang Qiu'er nodded politely in return. Although Wang Qiu'er's relationship with the Tang Clan members wasn't great, she could barely be considered to have some connection with Wang Dong'er.
Looking at the burning gazes of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, Huo Yuhao could feel the intense fighting spirit in Dai Huabin's eyes even from a distance. Seeing this scene, Bei Bei turned his head away in pain, because he still had no way to break the Shrek team's spirit fusion skill, because they simply couldn't separate Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu before they used the spirit fusion skill.
"They're all from the same academy. Do you think they'll go easy on us if we run into them again?" Jiang Nannan looked at the Shrek team and felt a headache coming on. Wang Qiu'er's strength was just too hopeless.
"Senior Sister Nan, do you think that's possible? Last time when we fought at the academy, they didn't hold back at all..." Xiao Xiao had many unpleasant memories in her mind, especially about that radiant figure under the golden light that seemed to bathe her.
Sometimes, glory is a pressure, a shackle that only adds to your troubles.
For example, the title of "Shrek Seven Devils" that the Shrek team had been eyeing for a long time was of no use to Wang Qiu'er. What she needed was strength, an understanding of the human world, or perhaps the answer to the question in her heart.
"Tang Clan versus Flying Cloud Clan."
Feiyun Sect is an obscure sect. In other words, to put it simply, it is a small but secluded sect that does not recruit disciples from outside the sect. Its organizational structure consists of members of the same clan, similar to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
As the referee announced the lineup, Tang Sect's first player to enter the arena was Xiao Xiao.
"Tang Clan, Xiao Xiao," Xiao Xiao said.
"Feiyun Sect, Ge Mingcheng." A young man came up from Feiyun Sect. He had short, neat hair and his light blue sect uniform gave him a rather heroic air.
Looking at Xiao Xiao's petite figure, he smiled gently and said, "Little sister, why don't you just admit defeat? I'm afraid that once the competition starts, you might get hurt."
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and make your move." Xiao Xiao nodded calmly.
"Little sister, you're so young to be participating in the competition. Why don't you just admit defeat? I'm afraid I might actually hurt you if I were to make a move. If my master knew I would lay a hand on a child, he would probably scold me to death," Ge Mingcheng advised sincerely.
child……
He Caitou covered his face helplessly and said, "Does that Ge Mingcheng think Xiao Xiao is too young...?"
"You know what, it's actually possible." If He Caitou hadn't been there, Xu Sanshi probably would have burst out laughing.
"This, this..." Wang Dong'er glanced at Xiao Xiao's petite figure, then silently swallowed the rest of her words.
Beibei suppressed a laugh and said, "Alright, alright, let's keep watching. Xu Sanshi, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Of course, this was just a minor incident, and the subsequent matches weren't particularly dramatic. At least, Ge Mingcheng, who called Xiao Xiao a child, was somewhat tormented.
After being smashed senseless by Xiao Xiao's large cauldron, he was carried away by his teammates. Although this was partly due to Ge Mingcheng's underestimation of his opponent, Xiao Xiao's face was indeed rather youthful.
Among her peers, it's hard to believe that Xiao Xiao is the same age as them, looking at her face.
Heavily in debt and the "forever" series.
Updates in a little while, back to being busy...
