Chapter 210 Little Child Xiao Xiao
“Brother He, what is the price of the soul guide materials offered on the black market?” Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou and asked.
He Caitou shook his head and said, "Although we had the support of the Su family at the beginning, the development of the Tang Sect had no worries at all. In terms of soul guide materials, especially those rare metals, we were able to get the materials at a very low cost price because Su Yu and the head of Mingde Hall had discussed cooperation. But since that incident, all our materials have been monopolized by the royal family of the Xingluo Empire, and we can't buy rare metals at all. Moreover, after that incident, the Sun and Moon Empire has never exported rare metals to the three major empires again, and even if it did, the price was ridiculously high. Not to mention the black market, because we didn't have any connections, their prices were 30% higher than the normal price on the black market..."
Tang Ya frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean that our Tang Sect will be in trouble of having no rare metals again?"
"I guess so. The Su family has encountered such a big problem. It is probably unlikely that they will continue to provide us with assistance. Besides, we owe Su Yu too much. If we trouble him again, it will be too much. Junior Brother Wang Dong, please don't tell Su Yu about this. We will feel bad if we trouble him again." Beibei knew that owing too much to others was not necessarily a good thing. Moreover, the Tang Sect was still unknown and could not bring any returns to the Su family at all.
Before that incident, the Tang Sect could get through any period smoothly until the Tang Sect was completely settled, but after that incident, the Tang Sect could only rely on itself.
As for what that incident was, it was the incident in which more than one hundred people from the Su family died in the attack of the Holy Spirit Church.
But they didn't know that it was just a means for Su Yu to transfer his people out of the Xing Luo Empire.
"But, even if I don't tell you, do you think Su Yu can't guess it?" Wang Dong'er looked at Bei Bei with some embarrassment.
Huo Yuhao covered his forehead and sighed, “That’s true…”
He Caitou was troubled as he thought of those merchants who refused to give in. "I will try to contact them tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I will have to find someone else to help us. I just don't know how much help the academy can give us. After all, a level 6 soul guide like me can't represent much value, or how much profit I can bring to them. The black market is a place of profit. We don't have a lot of money, and we can't bring much profit, so we are naturally the target of being slaughtered."
"Or, should I ask the family to allocate some money over here?" Xu Sanshi scratched his head and said.
“How about I ask the academy to allocate some money?” Bei Bei thought about it and asked Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao: “…………”
“Okay, just think of it as a loan to you. I’ll be able to pay you back in the future.” At Huo Yuhao’s suggestion, Tang Ya reluctantly nodded and agreed to this.
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 was highly expected by the Poseidon Pavilion. Su Yu's value has always been terribly 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 level 60, so he probably won't come out in the near future."
"What do you mean Su Yu is about to break through level 60?" Even Beibei was surprised by this sentence. The last time Su Yu left, he was still a quasi-Soul King. When he saw Su Yu again this time, he was already a quasi-Soul Emperor?
This sentence exploded in everyone's heart like a heavy bomb.
In more than a year, Su Yu's soul power increased by ten levels again, from Soul King to Soul Emperor!
"If he came to participate in the competition, then we wouldn't 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 was a painful thing for Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, or even the entire Shrek Seven Devils.
"Brother Xu, if you had Su Yu's strength, you could also advance from Soul King to Soul Emperor in one year." Xiao Xiao hit him bluntly.
"If I had that ability, I would have already, already..." Xu Sanshi glanced at Beibei, and then said nothing more.
Beibei glanced at Xu Sanshi in confusion and asked, "Why are you looking at me? It's already happened. You have the courage to think but not the courage to say it, right?"
"You have been the captain for a long time. Otherwise, how could you, Beibei, be the captain? How could that guy Su Yu be the team leader?"
Xu Sanshi replied angrily, but is that really what he thinks in his heart? Beibei actually knew what Xu Sanshi was thinking, but Beibei didn't point it out. After all, Xu Sanshi was looking at Beibei, but he might not be thinking about Beibei, but Jiang Nannan who was near Beibei.
After the incident with the Sea God, Xu Sanshi had no more contact with Jiang Nannan. The only thing they had was working together in the team.
“I think we should think about how to deal with the next game. After all, the things that will give us a headache are still to come. I don’t think the Holy Spirit Sect’s team is that simple, and I don’t want to play against the Body Sect’s team. After all…” Huo Yuhao felt a headache when he mentioned the Body Sect’s team. When Elder Mu sent him to the Body Sect, he never thought that this day would come.
…………
The competition has entered the fourth round. Because there are too many teams, each round will be completed within several days. Now the fourth round has not ended. If the fourth round is over, there will be about 20 teams left, if you don't count the withdrawals due to other reasons. The next 20 teams will compete in the fifth round to determine the top 10, and then the top 8 will be ranked by points, and finally the top 4 will be determined in the sixth round.
The time interval between the semi-finals and the finals is only five days. If injuries were not taken into consideration, the original time interval would be less than three days.
The Tang Sect's match was also in the fourth round. The opponents in the first three rounds were not very strong. Although there was an element of luck in the draw, the draw for each group also followed a certain pattern. After all, no one wanted anyone to take advantage of the situation.
The people on Shrek's side looked at the people from Tang Sect with extremely fiery eyes. It wasn't hostile, but it wasn't friendly either.
Looking at Shrek's Wang Qiuer, Wang Donger politely waved to Wang Qiuer, and Wang Qiuer also nodded politely. Although Wang Qiuer's relationship with the people in the Tang Sect was not very good, she could barely be considered to have some friendship with Wang Donger.
Looking at the fiery gazes of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, Huo Yuhao could feel the strong fighting spirit in Dai Huabin's eyes from a distance. Looking at this scene, Bei Bei turned his head away in some pain, because he still had no way to crack the Shrek team's martial soul fusion technique, because they simply could not separate Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu before they performed their martial soul fusion technique.
"We are all from the same academy. Do you think they will be gentler if we meet them again?" Jiang Nannan felt a headache looking at the Shrek team. Wang Qiuer's strength was too despairing.
"Senior Sister Nan Nan, do you think it's possible? The last time we fought in the academy, they were not polite to us at all..." Xiao Xiao had a lot of unpleasant memories in his mind, especially about the glorious figure that seemed to be bathed in golden light.
Sometimes glory is a kind of pressure and also a shackle that brings unnecessary trouble to oneself.
For example, the title of "Shrek Seven Devils" that the Shrek team has coveted for a long time, but for Wang Qiuer, the title is of no use. What she needs is strength, understanding of the human world, or to unlock the answer in her heart.
"Tang Sect vs. Feiyun Sect."
The Feiyun Sect is a little-known sect. In other words, it is a secluded sect that is neither big nor small. The sect does not recruit disciples from outside. Its composition pattern is that members of the same clan are all members of the sect, similar to the Jiubao Liuli Sect.
Following the referee's announcement, Tang Clan's first candidate, Xiao Xiao, appeared on the field.
"Tang Clan, Xiao Xiao." Xiao Xiao said.
"Feiyun Sect, Ge Mingcheng." A young man came up from Feiyun Sect. He had short and neat hair and the light blue sect uniform made him look quite heroic.
The man on the other side looked at Xiao Xiao's petite figure and smiled gently, "Little sister, why don't you admit defeat? I'm afraid that once the game starts, it will be bad if you get hurt."
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead." Xiao Xiao nodded calmly.
"Little sister, you come to participate in the competition at such a young age. You'd better admit defeat. I'm afraid that I will really hurt you when I attack. If my master knew that I attacked 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, this may really be possible." If He Caitou hadn't been there, Xu Sanshi would have laughed out loud.
"This, this..." Wang Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao's petite figure, and then silently took back the second half of the sentence.
Bei Bei suppressed her laughter and said, "Alright, alright, keep reading. Xu Sanshi, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Of course, this was just a small episode, and the subsequent games were not very exciting. At least Ge Mingcheng, who called Xiaoxiao a child, felt a little painful.
After being hit by Xiao Xiao with a big tripod and was knocked unconscious, he was carried away by their teammates. Although this was also due to Ge Mingcheng's underestimation of the enemy, after all, Xiao Xiao's face was indeed too childish.
Compared with people of the same age, looking at Xiaoxiao's face, it is hard to believe that Xiaoxiao is the same age as them.
