Chapter 215: The Child Xiao Xiao

"Brother He, what is the situation with the asking price for the Soul Guidance Materials provided by the Black Market?" Huo Yu Hao looked at He Cai Tou and asked.

He Cai Tou shook his head and said, "Although we had the support of the Su Family at the very beginning, the Tang Sect's development had no worries at all. Regarding Soul Guidance Materials, especially those Rare Metals, because Su Yu negotiated a partnership with the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, we were able to obtain materials at extremely low cost prices. However, ever since that incident, all of our materials have been monopolized by the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, and we simply cannot buy any Rare Metals at all. Moreover, after that incident, the Sun Moon Empire has never exported Rare Metals to the Three Great Empires again; even if they do, the prices are ridiculously high. Not to mention the Black Market; because we couldn't establish a connection, their asking prices are thirty percent higher than the standard Black Market prices..."

Tang Ya frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean our Tang Sect is going to fall into the predicament of having no Rare Metals again?"

"I suppose so. Such a huge thing happened to the Su Family, it's unlikely they can continue to provide us with aid. Besides, we owe Su Yu too much; if we go to trouble Su Yu again, it would really be going too far. Junior Brother Wang Dong, don't tell Su Yu about this matter either. If we go to trouble Su Yu again, we would really feel too guilty." Bei Bei knew that owing others too much was not necessarily a good thing, and the current Tang Sect was still unknown and could not bring any return to the Su Family at all.

Before that incident occurred, the Tang Sect could have passed through any period smoothly until the Tang Sect was completely stabilized, but after that incident, the Tang Sect could only rely on itself.

As for what that incident was, it was the incident where over a hundred members of the Su Family lost their lives in an attack by the Holy Spirit Cult.

But they did not know that this was merely a means for Su Yu to transfer his clansmen out of the Star Luo Empire.

"But, even if I don't say anything, do you think Su Yu can't guess it?" Wang Dong'er looked at Bei Bei with some difficulty.

Huo Yu Hao covered his forehead and sighed, "That's true..."

He Cai Tou thought of those merchants who refused to budge with a headache, "I'll go contact them again tomorrow. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to find someone else to bridge the connection. It's just that I don't know how much the academy can help us. After all, as a Level 6 Soul Master, I don't represent much value, or rather, I can't bring them much benefit. The Black Market is a place that talks about benefits; we don't have abundant funds, nor can we bring much benefit, so naturally, we are objects to be slaughtered."

"How about I have my family allocate some money over?" Xu Sanshi scratched his head and said.

"How about I also have the academy allocate some money over?" Bei Bei thought for a moment and also asked Huo Yu Hao.

Huo Yu Hao: "............"

"Fine, let's just treat it as a loan from you all. We'll just pay you back when we have the ability in the future." Under Huo Yu Hao's signal, Tang Ya nodded and agreed to this matter reluctantly.

Relying on the strength of outsiders is ultimately limited; this is an indisputable fact.

If they had the ability, naturally someone would come to provide them with a stage, just like Su Yu, who was recruited by Jing Hongchen and held high hopes by the Sea God Pavilion; Su Yu's value had 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 seems to be about to break through to Level 60, so he probably won't come out of seclusion in the near future."

"What? Su Yu is about to break through to Level 60?" Even Bei Bei was shocked by this sentence. The last time Su Yu left, he was still a Quasi-Spirit King; when they saw Su Yu again this time, he was already a Quasi-Spirit Emperor?

This sentence exploded in everyone's hearts like a bombshell.

In just over a year, Su Yu's soul power had increased by another ten levels, rising from a Soul King to a Soul Emperor!

"If he were to come and compete, wouldn't we have absolutely no need to worry about the Sun Moon Battle Team? Ah, why would such a thing happen!" Xu Sanshi only felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

This was a matter that made Huo Yu Hao and Bei Bei, or rather the entire Shrek Seven Devils, feel painful.

"Senior Brother Xu, if you had Su Yu's strength, you could also do it, going from Soul King to Soul Emperor in a year." Xiao Xiao struck back without any politeness.

"I, if I had that strength, I would have long ago, long ago..." Xu Sanshi glanced at Bei Bei, then had nothing more to say.

Bei Bei glanced at Xu Sanshi with some confusion and asked, "What are you looking at me for? Long ago what? You have the guts to think it, but no guts to say it, right?"

"Long ago been the captain, otherwise where would it be your turn, Bei Bei, to be the captain, and where would it be that guy Su Yu's turn to be the captain."

Xu Sanshi replied resentfully, but was that really what he was thinking in his heart? Bei Bei actually knew what Xu Sanshi was thinking, but Bei Bei didn't point it out. After all, Xu Sanshi was looking at Bei Bei, but what he was thinking about might not necessarily be Bei Bei, but Jiang Nannan who was near Bei Bei.

Because after the Sea God's Fate incident, Xu Sanshi had never had any intersection with Jiang Nannan again; the only thing they had was fighting together in the team.

"I think we should still think about how to deal with the upcoming matches. After all, the things that give us headaches are still to come. I feel that the Holy Spirit Cult's battle team is not that simple, and I also don't want to fight the Body Sect's battle team, after all..." Huo Yu Hao felt a headache whenever he mentioned the Body Sect's battle team. When Mu Lao sent him to the Body Sect back then, he never imagined he would have today.

This tournament has entered the fourth round. Because there are too many teams, every round of matches will be finished within several days. Now the fourth round hasn't ended yet. If the fourth round ends, there will probably be twenty teams left, if we don't count those who forfeit halfway or withdraw for other reasons.

The next twenty teams will determine the top ten in the fifth round, then rank the top eight through points, and finally determine the top four in the sixth round.

The interval between the semi-finals and the finals is only five days. If the factor of injury wasn't considered, the original interval would have been less than three days.

The Tang Sect's match is also in the fourth round. The opponents in the first three rounds were not very strong. Although there is an element of luck in the drawing of lots, there is also a certain pattern to the drawing of each group. After all, no one wants anyone to be able to fish in troubled waters.

The people on the Shrek side have extremely fiery gazes toward the people on the Tang Sect side. It doesn't count as hostility, but it doesn't count as friendly either.

Looking at Wang Qiu Er of Shrek, Wang Dong'er politely waved at Wang Qiu Er, and Wang Qiu Er also nodded politely. Although Wang Qiu Er and the people of the Tang Sect don't have much of a friendship, she barely counts as having a little bit of a friendship with Wang Dong'er.

Watching the fiery gazes of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, Huo Yu Hao could feel the intense fighting spirit in Dai Huabin's eyes from far away. Watching this scene, Bei Bei turned his head away in some pain, because he still had no way to break the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Shrek Battle Team, because they simply couldn't separate Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu before they unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"We're all from the same academy. Do you think if we meet them again, they will go a bit easier on us?" Jiang Nannan also felt a headache looking at the Shrek Battle Team; Wang Qiu Er's strength was truly too despair-inducing.

"Senior Sister Nannan, do you think that's possible? Last time we fought in the academy, they didn't show us any mercy at all..." Xiao Xiao's mind had quite a few memories that were not very pleasant, especially regarding that glorious figure beneath a golden light that seemed like a bath.

Sometimes glory is a kind of pressure, and also a shackle that adds unnecessary trouble to oneself.

Just like the title of "Shrek Seven Devils" that the Shrek Battle Team has coveted for a long time. For Wang Qiu Er, the title is of no use; what she needs is strength, an understanding of the human world, or perhaps to solve the answer in her own heart.

"Tang Sect versus Feiyun Sect."

Feiyun Sect is an unknown sect. In other words, perhaps to put it more clearly, it is a small to medium-sized hidden sect. The sect does not recruit disciples from the outside, and its composition model is all members of the same clan, similar to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Following the referee's announcement, the Tang Sect also brought out the first candidate to go on stage, Xiao Xiao.

"Tang Sect, Xiao Xiao." Xiao Xiao said.

"Feiyun Sect, Ge Mingcheng." The one who came up from the Feiyun Sect side was a young man with capable short hair; the light blue sect uniform made him look quite heroic.

Looking at Xiao Xiao's petite figure on the opposite side, he smiled gently: "Little sister, why don't you just concede? I'm afraid that once the match starts, it won't be good if you get hurt."

"Mm, I know. Make your move." Xiao Xiao nodded very calmly.

"Little sister, you're so young and you've come to compete. Why don't you just concede? I'm afraid that if I really make a move, I'll hurt you. If my master knew that I made a move against a child, he would probably scold me to death." Ge Mingcheng advised with a sincere face.

A child...

He Cai Tou covered his face helplessly and said: "Does that guy named Ge Mingcheng think Xiao Xiao is too young..."

"You don't say, it's likely there really is such a possibility." If He Cai Tou weren't present, Xu Sanshi would probably have laughed out loud long ago.

"This, this..." Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao's petite figure, then silently took back the second half of her sentence.

Bei Bei suppressed his laughter and said: "Alright, alright, keep watching. Xu Sanshi, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Of course, this was just a small interlude, and the subsequent match couldn't be called very ups and downs. At least this Ge Mingcheng who called Xiao Xiao a child was quite miserable.

After being smashed into a daze by Xiao Xiao's Great Cauldron, he was carried down by his teammates. Although there was an element of Ge Mingcheng's underestimation of the enemy in this, after all, Xiao Xiao's face was indeed too youthful.

Placed among her peers, looking at Xiao Xiao's face, it is hard for people to believe that Xiao Xiao is the same age as them.
