Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 286 Overpowering Xu Tianran! Exploiting the Empire!
Amidst the vigilance of the Mirror of the Mortal World.

Zhuge Lan said helplessly—

"My sixth trial as the Sea God has become so difficult that I need to find the opposing camp, namely Huo Yuhao, the captain of Shrek Academy who won the previous Soul Master Competition, to exchange for Tang Wutong's true form."

"And the current Sea God is also surnamed Tang. I suspect that Tang Wutong may be His descendant. I don't know why she fell into Huo Yuhao's hands, and the Sea God is still helpless."

"In this situation, force is probably not feasible, and we don't know anything about Tang Wutong, so my plan is to make a deal."

"The Temple of Light has all kinds of magic scrolls of light, but I think the other party may not need them. The main thing is to focus on rare metals and other resources that are rare in the Douluo Continent."

"If we can't satisfy them..."

"In order to obtain the position of a god, some of the soul tool technology that my brother has researched himself may also have to be put on the trading list."

Upon hearing this last point, Xu Tianran instantly shuddered.

The soul tool researched by Blue Rain?

That's just a battle suit, a soul tool, or a battle armor!

The former is now Xu Tianran's elite army, while the latter is said to be able to rival a Title Douluo even with a seven-ring Soul Saint.

It must not be leaked under any circumstances.

Although it is suspected that there is something fishy about the place of inheritance, it is likely that this divine position will be very difficult to obtain.

If you were to say something persuading now, it would take on a different meaning, implying that you're reluctant to give up resources.

Therefore, it can only be found in rare metals.
"No!"

Jing Hongchen suddenly shouted loudly—

"Your Majesty's ambition is to unify the country. At this moment, whether you provide a large amount of rare metals or advanced soul tool technology, you are aiding the enemy!"

"These things will become weapons that hinder the progress of the Sun Moon Empire in the future. How can we give them up for your own benefit?"

"Both of my grandsons have received divine inheritances, and they have never done anything to aid the enemy, nor will they ever do so in the future!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zhuge Lan glanced sideways at Jing Hongchen, the old man spouting a string of grand principles.

It’s not that you don’t report that the time has not come yet.

Do you really think those lowly scoundrels would let you get something for free?
Soon it will be your turn to have a headache, and then I'll make you sick to death!
But now
“If Your Majesty is in a difficult position, then I will handle it myself,” Zhuge Lan said, stepping back.

The fourth clone followed instantly.

"As the younger brother, I naturally must do my part in Brother Lan's divine test, Your Majesty."

"After I go back, I will separate from Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Those produced there will be left, and I will only take away those that do not belong there."

"We humbly request Your Majesty's approval!"

Xu Tianran's expression instantly darkened.

This Blue Rain is a crucial part of his plan. Putting aside everything else, the humanoid soul tool project would be delayed by at least half the time without him.

We absolutely cannot let him go!
“In that case,” the Lord of the Light Temple said, “our Temple of Light is going to produce a deity, so naturally we will do our best to help. Everything else can be put aside.”

The term "the rest" has a very broad scope.

It could simply be the Temple of Light's inventory and benefits.

It could also be the task that Xu Tianran just assigned.

It could also be the key to whether the Temple of Light would be willing to provide full assistance if the Sun and Moon Empire were to rise up in the future.

This is coercion!
These three people from the Temple of Light are forcing Xu Tianran to make a statement!
Jing Hongchen naturally understood, but dared not speak again.

The power of the Temple of Light is undeniable. Leaving aside its abnormal resurrection ability, its healing ability alone plays a huge role in large-scale battles.

—This can regenerate severed limbs!

The soldiers of the Sun and Moon Empire thought that as long as they didn't die, even if they lost an arm or a leg, the Temple of Light could restore them.

Their morale will surely soar like a rainbow piercing the sun.

If the Temple of Light abandons its mission
Given their current size, if they were to spread more negative information about Xu Tianran, he might not even be able to hold onto his throne!
How can we talk about war?

Jing Hongchen knew that he could not stop Lan Zhu's Nine Trials of the Sea God today.

Are the Temple of Light not worried about angering His Majesty?
or.
They don't care at all?
What a bunch of lunatics!
Just as Jing Hongchen had thought, Xu Tianran chuckled softly.

"I haven't even spoken yet, and you've already said everything?" "I am naturally pleased to see a deity emerge from the sun and moon."

"so."

"If there is a need for rare metals, Minister Lan knows the empire's reserves and can allocate 1% of them."

"As long as it is within 1% of the total value, it can be freely disposed of."

"how?"

[Rewrite the fate of Huo Yuhao and the Sun Moon Empire, +15 Luck Points!]

Don't underestimate this 1%, it's 1% of the empire!

Didn't you see that it was just a promise, yet you gave me 15 luck points?
Given Xu Tianran's trust in Lan Yu, coupled with his possession of the three core projects: humanoid soul tool, battle suit soul tool, and battle armor.

Blue Rain possesses rare metal resources that account for at least 70% of the Sun Moon Empire's inventory.

One percent of that could even be enough to create half of the MK-2 Soul Master Corps.

This is a long time.

It's equivalent to sending out an entire MK-2 Soul Master Corps.

"Your Majesty is so generous!" Zhuge Lan said cheerfully. "Then I will go find Huo Yuhao. If Dean Hongchen is worried that I will betray the interests of the Empire, he can come with me to discuss it, so that there will be no objections later."

This suggestion seems to be just something Zhuge Lan said in anger.

Jing Hongchen took it seriously.

After all, without him, who knows how they would have ended up selling off their grandfather's land.

If they're lucky, they can use some tactics to bring the negotiations to a stalemate and buy time for their granddaughter.

You can go!

But we still have to say the polite things.

"It's not that I don't trust them, I just wanted to have it notarized to avoid accusations of treason."

Zhuge Lan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Jing Hongchen to agree.

Then he waved his hand.

"what ever!"

He switched his martial soul to the Space Dragon King, angrily tearing open a spatial rift and diving straight into it.

Those present were not too surprised by this.

The core members of the Temple of Light are all skilled in spatial manipulation, which seems to be related to their ability to resurrect infinitely. They always arrive by breaking through the void.

I'm used to it.

Jing Hongchen apologized to Xu Tianran and then activated his flying soul tool to chase after him.

As for following them into the spatial rift?
Why would someone you just offended rush to offer themselves up for death?

“In that case, I will return to continue my research,” Lan Yu said.

“Go ahead,” Xu Tianran agreed. “Dean Hongchen will be away for a while, so please take care of things.”

"Yes."

With a casual swipe, Lan Yu tore open a spatial rift.

The Lord of the Light Palace also cupped his hands in greeting and squeezed into the spatial rift along with him.

Xu Tianran, Ju Zi, and Kong Deming were left behind.

After several minutes of silence.

Xu Tianran suddenly spoke up: "Does the Grand Elder believe that the Temple of Light is still under his control?"

"It's just an exchange of interests," Kong Deming said calmly. "The main figure of the Light Temple is to become a god. In the future, the Light Temple will belong to the Sun and Moon Empire. It's feasible to cede some interests now."

You can tell just by hearing that.

Kong Deming was also aware of the deal between Xu Tianran and the Lord of Guangdian.
