Douluo: Become a disciple of Jingliu and illuminate the gods

Chapter 70 The road to water is gone forever
Brothers, there is really no need for this anymore.

"Sit down." Jing Hongchen pointed to the chair in front of the table. Then he turned to Lin Jiayi and said, "Pour him a glass of water, then you go out."

"Yes." Lin Jiayi did not dare to say anything more, so she poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Huo Yuhao.

This time, Huo Yuhao did not refuse and sat down directly in front of Jing Hongchen. He picked up the water cup, glanced at Lin Jiayi who had just left, and asked Jing Hongchen, "Master, this water is not poisonous, right?"

Jing Hongchen's anger, which he had finally suppressed, suddenly burst out again. "You..." He almost slapped him, he really wanted to slap this kid to death!
"No." Considering the importance of the trigger device, Jing Hongchen finally endured it and answered calmly on the surface.

"That's good." While Huo Yuhao was talking, he didn't drink any water. He just put the water glass on the table. It was obvious that he still didn't trust him.Jing Hongchen's face turned red!

"If you ask for a sky-high price, just pay it back on the spot. Give me a price that I can accept." Jing Hongchen went straight to the point. He really didn't want to get entangled with this kid any longer.

"It's open. Three level nine soul guides. No less." Huo Yuhao raised three fingers again. But for some reason, Jing Hongchen felt that his middle finger was particularly eye-catching.

"You know this condition is impossible to achieve." Jing Hongchen said coldly. "If that's the case, you can leave."

“Oh. Then why did you ask me to come back? You’ve tormented me so many times.” As he spoke, Huo Yuhao stood up and walked out, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"You..." Jing Hongchen really felt like he was going to be blown away. "Come back!" He roared and stopped Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's heart was definitely not as hateful as he appeared on the surface. He was actually secretly admiring his teacher, Dragon God Douluo Mu Lao's judgment on Jing Hongchen. Mu Lao spoke highly of Jing Hongchen, saying that he was a hero, but the only problem was his character flaws. In his character, there was too much of a "one-track mind" and he was stubborn and irritable. Once a person was angry, it would be difficult for him to make a calm judgment, giving others an opportunity to take advantage of him. Otherwise, why would Huo Yuhao be so mean here for no reason?
"Three level nine soul guides are impossible. I admit that your idea is good, but you should also understand that the problems I just pointed out also exist. I'll give you a price. One level eight soul guide, plus five million gold soul coins. How about it?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head like a drum. "No, no, this is the fruit of my hard work, I can't sell it cheap. I want a level nine one, level eight is meaningless."

"No, the ninth-level soul guide is a strategic existence for our Sun Moon Empire. How can we give it away casually?"

Huo Yuhao patted his chest and said, “That’s not right, Hall Master. When you were in our Sea God Pavilion, my teacher asked you for something. You didn’t pay anything, and you gave it to me so readily! You gave it directly to this Red Dust Attachment. I’m still benefiting from it now.”

The veins on Jing Hongchen's forehead were throbbing non-stop. This kid was really talking about something else. What was the situation back then? If he hadn't given it to him, he might not have come back alive! But he was choked by Huo Yuhao's words and couldn't answer. His face, which was originally slightly red, suddenly turned a little blue.

"No means no. Two level eight soul guides!" Jing Hongchen roared in a low voice. He suddenly stood up, with his hands on the table, as if he was going to choose someone to devour.

Huo Yuhao simply kept silent this time, as if he was afraid of Jing Hongchen. But he still shook his head very firmly.

"Then what do you want? What else do you want besides the ninth-level soul guide?" Jing Hongchen sat back in his seat, his tone slightly calmer.

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, “Master, creativity is priceless. Although the soul guide I made is still very simple, I believe that my creativity is of great value, so I will offer you a high price. Calm down, how about this? I don’t want the ninth-level soul guide anymore, and I know you can’t bear to part with it either.”

What do you mean I can't bear to give it up? I can't give it in the first place. Jing Hongchen's anger, which had just calmed down a little, was rising again.

"You can give me some materials equivalent to a ninth-level soul tool. You also know that there is still a shortage of rare materials in our Shrek Academy." Huo Yuhao tried to say tactfully.

Jing Hongchen thought to himself, I'm not afraid that your kid won't reveal his flaws. This is your real purpose.

"What do you want?" Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice: "There are many kinds of rare materials, and their value is even more difficult to judge."

Huo Yuhao said, “I want a few things. Do you think I can give them to you? Five thousand kilograms of purple gold copper, five thousand kilograms of heavenly spirit silver, and one thousand pieces of Nether Crystal that is more than ten centimeters in diameter. I want one hundred kilograms of meteorite iron from outer space, and five hundred kilograms of the star-moon alloy that is unique to our Mingde Hall. Add fifty kilograms of the good-quality sun gold that I saw last time, and finally a hundred or eighty pieces of silver dragon scales. Don’t tell me I don’t have them! I’ve read the history of our academy, and we once hunted silver dragons. A silver dragon has tens of thousands of scales, and I only want a hundred or eighty, which is less than one percent. Don’t be stingy.”

When Huo Yuhao stated the conditions, Jing Hongchen's face turned darker with each statement. Now it was definitely black with blue in it, and blue with purple in it. It was completely on the verge of breaking out.

All the things Huo Yuhao wanted were the best rare metals. Especially the ones mentioned later, the Sun Gold and the Star Moon Alloy, which were extremely precious materials. They were all used to make the core array of the ninth-level soul guide. Not to mention hundreds of kilograms, even one kilogram would be a sky-high price.

"Are you planning to empty Mingdetang's warehouse?" Jing Hongchen stood up again unconsciously, took the black box that Huo Yuhao had given him earlier, and shook it vigorously. "You want to exchange so many things with me for such a broken thing made of fine iron? You are simply daydreaming. Even a lion can't open his mouth like this. Take this thing of yours and get out of here, and never let it go again. I see you." As he said this, he threw the black box to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao did not leave this time. He took the black box and said with a chuckle, “Master, don’t be angry! We can discuss the price. Besides, you see, what I want is an item equivalent to the value of three level nine soul guides. I didn’t raise the price even though you insulted my design. Wouldn’t it cost so much to have the value of three level nine soul guides? I’m not kidding!”

"Who promised to give you rare metals equivalent to the value of three ninth-level soul guides?" Jing Hongchen glared at him.

Huo Yuhao said aggrievedly: “Then let’s discuss it. You see which one I want is too much, can we reduce it a little?”

Jing Hongchen roared, "Whatever you want, it's too much. And a hundred or eighty pieces of silver dragon scales! That silver dragon was hunted more than three thousand years ago. All the materials left are rare treasures. How many can be left until now? I'm afraid there are less than a hundred pieces at most. Even I don't have the right to use it directly. This thing must be approved by the royal family."

Huo Yuhao said: "Master, you are in control of our Mingde Hall, below one person and above ten thousand people. Can't you even be the master? I don't believe this. I have been famous for the Silver Dragon Scales for a long time. This thing I am bound to win. I can reduce it by ten percent at most, and you have to give me the rest. You can reduce other things a little, even if you reduce it by half, it doesn’t matter."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's magnanimous look, Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed coldly. He really wanted to kill the bastard in front of him. However, even if you kill him, you won't be able to get the design. Besides, his grandson and granddaughter are still in the hands of Shrek Academy.

Taking a deep breath and barely suppressing his emotions, Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice: "These things you want will be priced at 10%, no need to talk about the silver dragon scales. Let's make a deal."

Huo Yuhao immediately shook his head and said: "Your bargaining is too harsh. How can you cut off 90% of the price in one go? No, no. At most, 10% will be cut off. I definitely want the silver dragon scales. You give me eighty slices."

"Asshole! If so much supplies leak out like this, do you think I can explain it to you?" "You are second to none!"

"..."

"Twenty percent, I'll give you five Silver Dragon Scales, which is the most. For this price, get out if you don't want it." Jing Hongchen really couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that if he continued to be entangled with this boy, he would go crazy.

Huo Yuhao said: "Eighty percent. Is that okay?"

"Just twenty percent." Jing Hongchen roared.

Huo Yuhao said: "It's not good for you to do this. Shouldn't we each make concessions and eventually each of us make a 50% deal?"

"Get out, get out of here." Jing Hongchen slapped his desk, and the solid wood desk collapsed with a loud bang.

Huo Yuhao was startled and frowned as he looked at Jing Hongchen in front of him who was like a volcanic eruption. Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.

Jing Hongchen felt that his blood was rising, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. Even the soul power in his body was somewhat disordered.

Huo Yuhao's face showed a trace of coldness as he walked out of Jing Hongchen's office. Looking at the black box in his hand, he was not in a hurry at all. He had never thought that the negotiation with Jing Hongchen would be successful in one go. Take your time. He still has time anyway. He will never give up until he achieves his goal.

He went back to his dormitory, but no one came out to call him this time.

The day passed quickly. The exchange study of the Shrek Academy exchange students has finally come to an end.

Out of consideration for face, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy held a farewell ceremony, and Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen attended in person.

On the Shrek Academy side, Fan Yu led the team, and Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, Ye Xiaosheng and other students stood in a row. They had changed back into Shrek Academy uniforms early this morning, which meant that they were leaving here and returning to their alma mater.

Jing Hongchen delivered an enthusiastic speech at the farewell ceremony. There was no change in his expression. He seemed very calm, as if he had forgotten the unpleasantness between him and Huo Yuhao yesterday. He even smiled at Huo Yuhao and seemed very satisfied with him.

What surprised Huo Yuhao was that his two sticky friends surprisingly did not come to see him off today, which made him feel a little disappointed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." A chant was heard, and the clanging sound of armor could be heard as a large group of soldiers rushed in from outside.

These soldiers were all dressed in silver armor, looking very majestic and powerful. At first glance, they were the Sun Moon Empire's guards.

After the silver-armored soldiers, there was a group of soldiers wearing light armor. Most of them are over thirty years old and have a calm demeanor. The total number of people was only about fifty, but as soon as they appeared, the pupils of everyone in Shrek Academy shrank.

Soul mentor, a fully armed soul mentor. The armor on their bodies was clearly soul guide armor. The equipment on them all looks standard, but is extremely sophisticated. There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of such a team.

The Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Sun-Moon Empire slowly entered the Sun-Moon Empire's large playground under the protection of a group of attendants.

Jing Hongchen hurriedly led the teachers from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to greet him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Jing Hongchen bowed and the other teachers knelt on one knee.

Xu Tianran smiled slightly and nodded gently to Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes and nodded as well. Then he walked behind Xu Tianran's wheelchair and pushed him to the playground, in front of everyone at Shrek Academy.

There was a trace of surprise in Fan Yu's eyes. What did the Crown Prince of the Sun and Moon Empire mean by bringing a large group of people here at this time?
"Teacher Fan Yu, let me introduce to you. This is the first heir to the royal family of our Sun and Moon Empire, His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Fan Yu bowed slightly. He was not a subject of the Sun and Moon Empire, so he naturally would not pay a high tribute.

Xu Tianran smiled warmly and said, "Teacher Fanyu, there is no need to be polite. I have longed for your college for a long time. It's a pity that I couldn't go there. I will definitely visit you in person when I have the chance. Yesterday, I heard from Master Hongchen that the exchange students of your college have finished their studies. On behalf of the Sun Moon Empire, I came to see them off. I hope that in the future, our Sun Moon Empire can have more exchanges with your college, so as to deepen our friendship."

"Your Highness, you are too polite." Coming to see me off? Fan Yu was even more surprised. But the farewell ceremony had basically ended, and he didn't want to delay any longer, so he said, "Thank you, Your Highness, and Master Hongchen for seeing me off. It's getting late, so I will set off with my students. Master Hongchen, will you come with us?"

The two sides will still exchange students in the original Maple Leaf City. In order to ensure safety, Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen will of course go there in person.

Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "I will take you all a little further, but please wait for a moment, Teacher Fanyu. I want to talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay." Although Fan Yu didn't know what they were going to do, he didn't think much about it. Such a long period of exchange and study was over, and Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen hadn't come back yet. He wasn't afraid of Jing Hongchen's tricks.

At the moment, he led a group of students to the side.

Huo Yuhao’s eyes were always fixed on Jing Hongchen and Crown Prince Xu Tianran. He was the only one who could vaguely guess why the crown prince would come in person to see them off.
