Chapter 76: Empty-Handed White Wolf, Slapping Liu Erlong

Cooperation?

A guaranteed profit without loss?

Wei Zhangfeng nearly failed to hold back a laugh.

Even though he had already seen many great storms and waves.

To be fair, he truly had not expected that this fellow Yu Xiaogang would use such a method to open the conversation.

A piece of trash that couldn't be any more useless, actually saying he wanted to cooperate with him.

Regarding matters of Yu Xiaogang, he had heard a few things from Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei.

What could be confirmed was that Yu Xiaogang knew one hundred percent just how powerful their Tianwu Empire was.

Yet, in such a situation, Yu Xiaogang was able to say such words full of confidence.

Truly, it made one unable to keep a straight face.

In the rear position.

Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei had already returned.

The two looked at each other, likewise unable to believe everything their ears had heard.

After confirming several times, and making sure they hadn't misheard, their expressions suddenly became exceptionally strange.

Given their status and position, they were about to lose control of their expressions.

One could imagine how much shock Yu Xiaogang's opening had given people.

"You are saying you want to cooperate with Us?"

"And what you can provide to Our Tianwu Empire will definitely not let Our Tianwu Empire suffer a loss?"

Wei Zhangfeng asked with great interest.

He looked at Yu Xiaogang with a half-smile, sizing up the way Yu Xiaogang was brimming with confidence at this moment.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt it was quite amusing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded solemnly.

Seeing that Wei Zhangfeng had developed some interest in what he had said.

Unaccountably, the caution he had felt before all vanished without a trace at this moment.

Replacing it was absolute confidence, confidence truly originating from the depths of his soul.

He had done similar things countless times in the past.

Regarding such matters, Yu Xiaogang felt he truly had a way to operate.

If things went well, he might really be able to establish a connection with Wei Zhangfeng.

When the time came, becoming a State Preceptor or something in the Tianwu Empire was perhaps even possible.

And as the State Preceptor of such a powerful empire as the Tianwu Empire.

In the end, receiving the rewards of the Tianwu Empire, everything could appear perfectly reasonable.

Thinking of such a matter, Yu Xiaogang felt his breathing become somewhat rapid.

"That is correct, noble Tianwu Great Emperor!"

"This humble one indeed has matters to cooperate with your noble country on!"

"This humble one is well-versed in various martial soul theories, and previously heard that your noble country has the ability to bestow upon others a second or even third martial soul!"

"This humble one guesses that my martial soul theories might perhaps allow your noble country to walk even further along such a path!"

"At that time, we can completely achieve mutual benefit, each fulfilling the other, and perhaps even allow the Tianwu Empire to reach even greater heights!"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and spoke eloquently.

Having said this much, it was as if he had convinced even himself, and he was already bathed in the radiance of confidence.

Jirou Yueguan's mouth twitched.

Tianwu Guimei's mouth likewise twitched.

They had previously had some contact with Yu Xiaogang.

But now...

Truly seeing Yu Xiaogang in such a state, their bellies full of complaints had nowhere to be vented.

They had seen confident people, but never anyone as confident as Yu Xiaogang.

Even saying his martial soul theories could help the Tianwu Empire walk further along its path.

The Tianwu Empire could already bestow dual or even Three-Life Martial Souls upon others; would they still care about mere martial soul theories?

If their research into martial souls wasn't profound enough, could such a thing be successful??

Yu Xiaogang, oh Yu Xiaogang, what on earth are you thinking!

The two complained frantically.

However, hindered by the fact that Wei Zhangfeng was the absolute protagonist here.

Maintaining silence, the two watched Wei Zhangfeng quietly, only wanting to see how Wei Zhangfeng would treat Yu Xiaogang's matter.

"It sounds indeed very tempting."

"If you want to cooperate, I can give you a chance!"

"However, you need to produce actual proof for Me to know!"

"The martial soul theories you speak of that make you so confident—surely you must have achieved quite good results relying on this set of theories!"

"Speak, what are your current achievements? Let Me see if this so-called martial soul theory of yours is true or false!"

Wei Zhangfeng said very lazily.

To strike a snake, one must hit its seven-inch mark.

To stab a person, one must aim the blade right at the heart.

Wei Zhangfeng specifically targeted whatever Yu Xiaogang lacked most to twist the knife.

And given his status and position, there was nothing inappropriate about such words.

As the emperor of a nation.

Such matters naturally needed to be considered.

At the very least, one must see tangible results for such things; otherwise, it would be impossible to agree just by listening to one-sided words.

Therefore, he was interested to see what Yu Xiaogang would do next.

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed.

Hearing Wei Zhangfeng ask this, he suddenly felt terrible.

Thinking of his own strength, thinking of his own achievements, including his research on martial souls.

The confidence he had just felt receded like a tide at this moment.

Having finally managed to deceive himself, he was unable to stand tall at this moment.

"My martial soul theory..."

"My martial soul theory is still under research and requires many more samples."

"However, I can be certain that these theories of mine will definitely be able to help your country!"

"So if your country gives me such an opportunity, I will definitely not let down your country's high expectations!"

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a long time.

After pondering for quite a while, he suddenly said this.

Wei Zhangfeng was somewhat disappointed.

He had wanted to hear Yu Xiaogang talk the dead into living.

Talk the living into flying in the sky.

And this was it?

Disappointing!

So disappointing!

"So, are you planning to get something for nothing from our Tianwu Empire?"

"Your martial soul theory hasn't been fully researched yet, and you want to bring it out for cooperation?"

"Furthermore, according to your meaning, I must first give you an opportunity for cooperation, and then I need to provide you with countless samples for your research."

"In the end, I still need to wait to see if you can succeed in your research? Do you think I would believe such words?"

"You say you want to cooperate with me, yet you can't even bring out the most basic things; how can you expect me to feel at ease cooperating with you?"

"If I were to agree to such a cooperation, wouldn't I be a foolish ruler?"

"You say your name is Yu Xiaogang, right? In your eyes, Yu Xiaogang—"

"Am I, the Emperor, a foolish ruler?!"

Wei Zhangfeng's voice rose a few notches at the end.

The humming sound struck directly at Yu Xiaogang's soul.

Yu Xiaogang stumbled back several steps, nearly falling directly off the spectator stand.

It was only at the very edge that he managed to stabilize his figure.

"Great Emperor, you have misunderstood; I absolutely do not have such intentions."

"I truly want to cooperate with your country; the people in our world do not recognize my martial soul research theory."

"So I want a broader sky for development, and your country is definitely a nation with a discerning eye for talent, which is why I want to develop in your country."

"Although I have not yet reached the final results in my martial soul theory research, I can be certain that this path of mine is absolutely not wrong, and cooperation will definitely bring endless value to your country."

Yu Xiaogang's speaking speed increased.

He did not want to give up the opportunity to latch onto the Tianwu Empire at all.

He used every means possible, wanting to receive Wei Zhangfeng's favor at this moment.

Wei Zhangfeng remained indifferent.

No matter how flowery Yu Xiaogang's words were, he did not feel even a shred of emotional fluctuation.

A small fry like Yu Xiaogang.

Still hoping to move him with just a glib tongue.

Just two words: keep dreaming!

Do you really think you're Uzumaki Xiaogang?

That Uzumaki Naruto, his "talk-no-jutsu" is invincible under heaven.

You, Yu Xiaogang, are simply not worth looking at.

"Finished?"

"So, at the start of this cooperation, what benefits can you bring to me, or to our Tianwu Empire?"

"Although I don't mind giving you samples, and I can afford to support an idler, I am not such a kind and generous person!"

"At the very least, right now in my eyes, you are trying to get something for nothing, and trying to get something for nothing from me—are you looking to die?!"

A trace of killing intent appeared in Wei Zhangfeng's eyes.

The killing intent was controlled very precisely; he was afraid that if his killing intent erupted even a tiny bit more, he would reduce Yu Xiaogang to dust.

With a little bit of control, after suppressing it, he only let Yu Xiaogang feel the pressure, without reaching the point of spiraling into the afterlife.

Yu Xiaogang's face was pale to the extreme.

Looking at Wei Zhangfeng's clearly angry appearance, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

Suddenly, it seemed he didn't quite know how.

"Bastards, what are you trying to do?!"

At this moment, a roar rang out.

In the Shrek resting area, although Liu Erlong had not tried to persuade Yu Xiaogang, she was still very worried about his situation.

She had been keeping a close eye on Yu Xiaogang's reactions, and seeing his pale face—clearly intimidated—she flew over here immediately with a roar.

Her Fire Dragon Martial Soul let out a dragon's roar, and in the next second, she had approached Yu Xiaogang's side.

Jirou Yueguan and Tianwu Guimei had originally intended to make a move.

However, Wei Zhangfeng stopped the two of them, looking indifferently at the suddenly arrived Liu Erlong.

Looking at Liu Erlong in such a state.

Although there was one in the Tianwu Empire, and she had also been taken into his Inner Palace.

But at this moment, he could not feel any affection for the Liu Erlong of this world.

There was no external interference.

Liu Erlong had her heart set entirely on Yu Xiaogang.

At this point in time, they could even be considered to have slept together.

Although it hadn't gone all the way, such a situation had already crossed the line significantly.

He, Wei Zhangfeng, still had a cleanliness complex.

At this very moment, he had absolutely no intention of taking the Liu Erlong of this world into his Inner Palace.

For example, experiencing double the pleasure.

Such pleasure, he still did not want to seek.

Those with dirty hearts are not worthy of entering the palaces of his Tianwu Empire.

"And who might you be?" Wei Zhangfeng asked, knowing the answer.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong glared at Wei Zhangfeng: "I am Liu Erlong, what are you trying to do to Xiaogang?"

"Xiaogang came over and didn't do anything, yet you were clearly using your aura to suppress him just now."

"Does your Tianwu Empire want to bully the weak?!"

Liu Erlong was furious.

Yu Xiaogang was her Achilles' heel.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's current state, she wished she could fight Wei Zhangfeng for three hundred rounds right then and there.

If she could directly KO Wei Zhangfeng, that would be the most beautiful thing imaginable.

Although she knew this was impossible.

But in her heart, she was still fantasizing about it.

"Liu Erlong? Sticking your neck out for this guy named Yu Xiaogang?"

"Heh, a man who uses empty hands to snatch a white wolf, trying to pull that on Me—how could I not make a move?"

"Do you think he is still alive because his strength is truly up to par? If I wanted to kill him, would I need to give him a chance to survive?"

"Including you, being able to come and support him—do you think you have the qualifications to make Me look at you twice?!"

Wei Zhangfeng retorted mercilessly.

He didn't give her even a shred of face.

Liu Erlong's expression turned livid.

Having been hit by such a harsh retort from Wei Zhangfeng.

Suddenly, she began to feel at a loss.

But the anger in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"No matter what you say, your Tianwu Empire is just bullying the weak!" Liu Erlong was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said.

Wei Zhangfeng shook his head helplessly.

He stopped paying attention to Liu Erlong and continued to fix his gaze on Yu Xiaogang.

He wanted to see if Yu Xiaogang, such a soft-rice-eating man, would do something unexpected at this time.

Meeting Wei Zhangfeng's gaze, Yu Xiaogang's body shivered for no reason.

It was obvious that he was a person who was cowardly to the extreme, a person who only knew how to escape.

All his confidence had vanished at this moment.

He had been scared nearly out of his wits by that trace of killing intent just now.

"What are you trying to do again?!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang like this, Liu Erlong was so angry she was about to explode.

Shielding Yu Xiaogang, she glared at Wei Zhangfeng, her eyes already unashamedly surging with fury.

Wei Zhangfeng looked indifferently at Liu Erlong in this state.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of disgust rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Right now, this is a matter between Me and him; it has nothing to do with you. Stand on the side and watch peacefully; do not attempt to interfere in My affairs!"

"Your status is not qualified enough to clamor before Me!"

Wei Zhangfeng said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong completely flew into a rage.

The Fire Dragon Martial Soul behind her let out another long howl.

The soul power of a Soul Saint brewed crazily within her, leaving Spirit Masters from other areas completely dumbfounded.

The teachers of the various other teams were also all looking over here.

Including Tuzhu Bibidong, who had also diverted a portion of her attention to watch this place at this moment.

Even though she had been paying attention to Yu Xiaogang all along, at this moment, Liu Erlong's reaction forced her to take a few more looks.

"I'm putting it out there right now."

"If you want to lay a hand on Xiaogang, then you'll have to step over my dead body!"

"I may not be a match for you, but before I die, I will definitely make you suffer!"

Spit flew from Liu Erlong's mouth.

She was like a female tyrannosaurus, looking determined to protect Yu Xiaogang no matter what.

Wei Zhangfeng sighed gloomily.

He slowly stood up and looked down at Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong from above.

Finally, his gaze rested on Liu Erlong, and he swatted toward her as if swatting a fly:

"I said, your status is not enough to qualify you to clamor in front of Me!"

"You're such a grown adult, why don't you know how to listen to reason?"

"Now, get out of My sight!!"
