Chapter 19: Implant Steel Armor

"Mr. Hao..."

The warehouse administrator revealed a look of difficulty.

Hao Yi frowned: "Why, I only came to check last week, that box of grade two superior steel armor implants was still there, and now it's gone?"

"No..."

The administrator was a bit timid, "That box of grade two superior steel armor implants has already been reserved by Mr. Wang."

Hao Yi: "Mr. Wang, you mean Wang Qitai?"

"Yes."

The administrator nodded cautiously.

Hao Yi sneered: "I don't know when the implants of this Lecture Hall could be reserved?"

The administrator's body trembled, revealing a bitter smile:

"Mr. Wang came here yesterday and specifically instructed me, saying that he would come to take that box of grade two superior steel armor implants today, and asked me to prepare for thawing in advance."

Hao Yi's face turned cold, and he said to Li Fei: "Give him your receipt."

Hearing this, Li Fei handed the receipt for the 360 yuan he paid to purchase the implant to the other party.

The administrator smiled bitterly and accepted it.

Hao Yi looked at the other party expressionlessly: "According to the regulations of the Lecture Hall, as a special-grade lecturer, I have a quota for using implants below grade three every year. Now my quota is still there, and the implant I want is also there, and the receipt has already been given to you; you go and get it for me immediately!"

The administrator was shocked by Hao Yi's aura and didn't dare to say anything more, turning to get the items.

A few minutes later, he came over holding a wooden box about a meter long that was still emitting cold air.

"Mr. Hao, this is the item you want; it has already been thawed."

"Hmm."

Hao Yi signaled Li Fei to take the wooden box, then said to the administrator: "You make a registration; if Wang Qitai comes to ask, you tell him directly that I took it."

"Yes."

"Let's go."

Hao Yi called Li Fei to leave the warehouse.

Afterward, he took Li Fei to the medicinal bath room again and took out a list, asking Li Fei to go to the material building to get the medicine.

Li Fei took the list to the material building, and the person in charge of getting the medicine told him that the price of this medicine was 78 yuan.

"Practicing martial arts is too expensive."

Li Fei sighed again.

After paying, he took a large bag of medicine back to the medicinal bath room and saw that Hao Yi had already opened the wooden box containing the implant and was organizing the things inside.

At first, hearing the word 'steel armor', Li Fei thought the box would contain some kind of scales from an exotic beast, but he discovered that it contained a large pile of black powder, emitting a pungent smell.

Hao Yi was wearing gloves and putting these black powders into various containers of different sizes.

"Go and boil a pot of hot water; after the water boils, according to the order on the prescription, pour in one medicinal herb every five minutes."

Hao Yi instructed.

Li Fei immediately followed instructions.

A moment later, the water in the pot boiled.

Just as Li Fei intended to pour the medicinal herbs into it, the door of the medicinal bath room was suddenly knocked.

Li Fei looked at Hao Yi, Hao Yi nodded at him, so he went over and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was an old man with a sinister look, and behind him stood a tall woman with her long hair coiled up with a jade hairpin.

The old man didn't even look at Li Fei, strode into the room, and looked at Hao Yi's side for the first time. Seeing that the black powder was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hao Yi, this implant is very important to me. If you want to rebuild the 【Steel Core】, I can find you grade three superior gold scales, which are more compatible with your dao foundation; there's no need to use this one."

The old man got straight to the point, speaking very quickly to Hao Yi.

Hao Yi looked at the other party with a strange expression: "Who told you I want to rebuild my dao foundation?"

The old man was Wang Qitai, who had reserved the grade two superior steel armor implant; like Hao Yi, he was also a special-grade lecturer at the Xingcheng Lecture Hall.

Hearing this, he was startled:

"If you're not rebuilding your dao foundation, what do you want this grade two superior steel armor for?"

"My student wants to use it."

Hao Yi glanced at Li Fei.

"Him?"

Wang Qitai then looked at Li Fei, examined him carefully, and sneered:

"He's not even a martial artist; using grade two superior steel armor in the embryo-nurturing stage, do you want to kill him?"

"That's none of your business; you can go out now."

Hao Yi said expressionlessly.

Wang Qitai's face turned ugly: "Hao Yi, you must go against me?"

He was the most senior special-grade lecturer at the Xingcheng Lecture Hall and had extensive connections; including the head of the Lecture Hall, everyone had to give him some face, except for Hao Yi.

So the relationship between the two had always been bad.

Hao Yi took a step forward, looking directly at the other party:

"I am extracting the implant according to the rules of the Lecture Hall; if you have any objections, you can go to the head of the hall to appeal."

"You!"

Wang Qitai was about to flare up, but was suddenly stopped by the young woman behind him, "Grandfather, let me talk to Mr. Hao."

Wang Qitai looked at the woman, his expression softening a lot, and he nodded.

This woman stepped forward and first bowed to Hao Yi:

"Mr. Hao, my name is Wang Fengqing, a third-year student at the Wu'an University. I have just broken through to the dao foundation stage and intend to construct the martial dao foundation 【Qinghua Linglong】. This metal-attribute grade two superior steel armor implant can increase my success rate in cultivating 【Qinghua Linglong】, so I implore Mr. Hao to let it go to me. I am willing to use my own authority to purchase a more suitable implant for the embryo-nurturing stage from Wu'an University to compensate your student. Or if Mr. Hao has any other conditions, feel free to mention them."

These words were neither humble nor arrogant and were very sincere, making Hao Yi's expression soften a bit.

"To be able to break through to the dao foundation stage as a third-year student, no wonder you dare to cultivate 【Qinghua Linglong】."

There was more surprise in his eyes as he looked at Wang Fengqing.

"Hmph."

Wang Qitai behind him snorted lightly, revealing a look of pride.

But Hao Yi's words soon made his face turn black again:

"My student will construct the martial path foundation 【Primordial Heavenly Metal】 in the future; this metal-attribute grade two superior steel armor implant is equally important to him, so I cannot let it go."

Wang Qitai couldn't hold it in anymore, pointing at Li Fei and saying:

"Ha? You say he wants to cultivate 【Primordial Heavenly Metal】? If he had this aptitude, could he still be your student at the Lecture Hall?!"

Hao Yi didn't give him any good looks and said directly and forcefully:

"This has nothing to do with you; I'll say it one last time, take your granddaughter and leave here!"

As the words fell, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Li Fei stood beside him and instinctively felt fear, as if an ordinary person had suddenly encountered a fierce tiger on the road; this was the oppression brought by the crushing of life levels!

This was the first time he had felt such unusual power from his teacher.

Wang Qitai subconsciously took a step back, staring fixedly at Hao Yi, seemingly very wary of him.

After a long time, he turned to Li Fei and revealed a sinister smile:

"Kid, I advise you to figure out what 【Primordial Heavenly Metal】 is first, otherwise you won't even know how you died!"

After speaking, he turned and left angrily.

Wang Fengqing looked deeply at Li Fei before following her grandfather away.

After the two left, Li Fei said calmly:

"Teacher, the water has boiled."
