Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 137 The Matter of Qianmo

Kong Taining thought for a moment and said, "Once the future Star Battle Network is put into use, it goes without saying how much profit an extremely realistic virtual world can generate. Your Sacred Knowledge Treasury controls the most important main brain, so the profit you can get will definitely be more than 40%."

"Furthermore, if you are not satisfied with your share of the profits, you can negotiate with the Federation using the sacred treasury of knowledge."

"I understand," Qianmo said decisively after considering it. "Please contact the Federal Academy of Sciences and schedule a time to discuss the relevant matters, Elder Kong."

"Okay," Kong Taining smiled, as a win-win situation was what everyone wanted to see.

After discussing the Star Dou Battle Network, Duan Hongchen took Qian Mo to check on the soul tools created by Qian Mo Group during this period.

With abundant resources and Kong Taining's guidance, Duan Hongchen's talent in soul tools has been perfectly brought into play, and he has now advanced to the level nine soul tool master.

Under his leadership, Qianmo Group has continuously innovated in the field of soul tools, covering various areas of soul tools.

Although Qianmo Group is not well-known among the general public, it is highly respected among the federal high command, especially among the major military legions, and is deeply loved by the military.

Especially compared to the Tang Clan, which is stubborn and secretive, Qianmo Group's high-quality and inexpensive soul tools have long been the first choice for the military to purchase equipment. With the entry of soul tools bearing the Mingde Hall mark into the military, the long-lost Mingde Hall has once again come into the sight of the Federation's high-level officials.

Of course, the popularity of Qianmo Group's soul tools in recent years has led to the rapid expansion of Qianmo Group, while also arousing the dissatisfaction of its competitor, Tangmen.

For the Tang Sect, the sale of soul tools is not only the biggest source of their economy, but more importantly, it allows them to establish reliable connections with the legion by using high-quality and powerful soul tools, thus maintaining the position of the dove faction represented by the Tang Sect in the Federal Parliament.

However, the sudden rise of the Qianmo Group, coupled with the fact that the Qianmo Group sells soul guides purely for profit and never offers any incentives such as "you have to support me secretly," has led many legions to abandon the Tang Sect and instead cooperate with the Qianmo Group, which is unacceptable to the Tang Sect.

However, Qianmo Group is supported not only by the Southern Legion and the Holy Angel Family, but also by Chen Xinjie, the Hall Master of the War God Temple, who once stood up for Qianmo Group, making it difficult for Tangmen to target Qianmo Group openly.

As for other more drastic and sinister methods, some members of the Tang Clan proposed them, but they were all rejected by Zang Xin, the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, on the grounds that they violated the Tang Clan's moral obligation to safeguard peace.

Unable to confront them openly, and violating the moral code that Tangmen wore on its sleeve by secretly causing trouble, Tangmen could only watch helplessly as Qianmo Group grew stronger and took away one share of its profits after another.

As Qian Mo listened to Duan Hongchen's account, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Tang Sect, is it? I'll remember this. I hope you'll still have the energy to take care of your soul tool business in the future."

After learning about the various businesses of Qianmo Group, Qianmo embarked on his return journey back to Shrek Academy.

As soon as I returned to the academy and stepped into the inner courtyard, I ran into Shen Yi, who was in a hurry.

Shen Yi's eyes lit up when he saw Qian Mo. He rushed up to Qian Mo, hands on his hips, and said aggressively, "Qian Mo, do you know where Gu Yuena went?"

Qianmo was a little confused and didn't understand the situation for a moment. He asked in confusion, "Na'er? Didn't she come back a long time ago?"

"Yes, she came back, but as soon as she got back, she asked me for leave again and left the school without asking whether I agreed or not."

Shen Yi became angrier as he spoke, "Does she still respect me as her teacher? Does she even want to graduate from Shrek Academy?"

"Um...actually, whether Na'er graduates from Shrek Academy or not doesn't have much of an impact on her, right?" Qian Mo cautiously offered her opinion.

Shen Yi's expression froze instantly. Yes, Gu Yuena definitely wouldn't stay at Shrek Academy, and she was Leng Yaozhu's apprentice. She would definitely be able to enter the higher levels of the Spirit Pagoda in the future. In addition, given her extraordinary talent, a Shrek Academy diploma was indeed dispensable.

"But, but she's also a student of Shrek Academy's inner court. She can't be away from the academy every day, can she?" Shen Yi stammered after a long pause.

Qian Mo waved his hand, "Oh, Teacher Shen, please be more understanding. These are all Na'er's own choices. Even Sister Ya Li doesn't care, so why are you? Instead of wasting your time, why don't you talk to Teacher Wu about how to torture Tang Wulin and the others to improve their strength and help them officially establish their Shrek Seven Devils identity as soon as possible?"

"This... sigh, alright!" Shen Yi reluctantly compromised, deciding to let things take their course and turn a blind eye to Gu Yuena, as long as she didn't cause any major trouble.

After bidding farewell to Shen Yi, Qian Mo continued walking deeper into the inner courtyard. He noticed a lively scene not far away, where a group of inner courtyard students seemed to be gathered in front of a fighting arena to watch a battle.

The inner court students are usually oblivious to everything else and are focused solely on their cultivation. The only ones who could make them temporarily set aside their cultivation to watch a duel are the inner court students.

Qianmo stepped forward and saw that another group of students had indeed challenged Tang Wulin and his group of seven.

Upon returning to Shrek Academy, the academy announced the selection of the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils without any warning. They were all newcomers who had just entered the inner academy, which made many students skeptical.

Therefore, ever since Tang Wulin and his six companions were announced as the Shrek Seven Devils, a new team has challenged them almost every few days.

For example, today's team consists of seven Soul Kings. Although these seven Soul Kings are quite powerful, they are clearly no match for Tang Wulin and his group of seven.

Soon, Tang Wulin and his group crushed the seven challengers with overwhelming force.

After Yuanen Yehui grabbed a Soul King by the collar and threw him off the stage like trash, it was once again announced that Tang Wulin and his seven companions had successfully defended their place.

Yuan Enhui glanced around the audience and spotted Qian Mo standing there. His eyes lit up and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

Qianmo waved to her, signaling her to come over.

After saying goodbye to his companions, Yuan Enhui jogged over to Qian Mo.

"Your last piece of battle armor is finished. Come with me to get it," Qianmo said to Yuanen Yehui with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enhui's joy was palpable. She had broken through to the fifth-ring Soul King level and possessed the power to wield the One-Word Battle Armor.

The two arrived at Qianmo's private forging room. On the forging table were pieces of pitch-black metal. Yuanen Yehui's eyes were involuntarily drawn to them. A voice in her heart told her that this was the metal of her battle armor!

Qianmo pointed to the metal on the forging table and said calmly, "The same old rule, drip blood onto it."
