Chapter 232:Just a Small Coin
Leaving Spirit City, Wang Teng returned to Sky City.
After some thought, he summoned Natya and the other ten to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Natya, go inform those people we've placed in the Heaven Dou Empire's military to prepare.
After the Soul Master Competition, our Sky City will make a move on the Heaven Dou Empire."
Long before this, Wang Teng had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire's military with a thousand Spirit King-level spies. Now, after all these years, they have all become Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Masters.
"Oh, and take these spirit tools as well. They contain Spirit Emperor-level equipment, so distribute them to everyone!"
Wang Teng purchased a thousand sets of Spirit Emperor-level equipment from the system mall, including armor, accessories, and weapons.
The armor was tailored to the requirements of those professionals, while the accessories were all the same. As for weapons, Wang Teng chose automatic pistols.
Wearing armor and accessories of the same rank could increase physical defense and spirit power defense by 100%. While it might not allow them to challenge higher ranks, with optimal spirit ring configurations, these professionals, even if they were newly advanced Spirit Emperors, would not be weak among Spirit Masters of the same rank.
As for communication crystals, after Wang Teng obtained the manufacturing blueprints, Sky City had produced many and had already distributed them. With communication crystals, they could also set a time to act simultaneously.
Calculating the time, the Soul Master Competition was very close, and preparations could begin.
"Everyone except Panic, you may go."
"Yes!"
Natya and the others immediately took their leave.
"Panic, you come with me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
As Sky City was making a move on the Heaven Dou Empire, it was time for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as their subordinate, to play its part.
"Understood, City Lord."
Panic nodded.
Outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate, a spatial passage appeared, and Wang Teng and Panic stepped out.
As soon as Wang Teng and Panic arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's mountain gate, a disciple guarding the mountain immediately stepped forward.
"Greetings, Your Excellencies! Welcome to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Mm."
Wang Teng nodded, and then the two proceeded to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's main hall.
Soon, Ning Fengzhi arrived with Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
"My virtuous nephew has arrived, I apologize for not greeting you sooner!"
Ning Fengzhi warmly greeted Wang Teng.
"Uncle Ning, I'm here this time to discuss something important."
"Oh? Very well!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded and dismissed everyone else from the hall.
Soon, only Wang Teng and the four others remained in the hall.
After some thought, Wang Teng still set up a spirit power barrier to prevent any sound from escaping.
After all, there should be spies from other forces planted within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so it was better to be cautious.
Seeing Wang Teng set up a spirit power barrier, Ning Fengzhi knew that this was definitely a major matter; otherwise, there would be no need to be so cautious.
"Uncle Ning, my Sky City plans to make a move on the Heaven Dou Empire after the Soul Master Competition. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't need to participate in the fighting, but I hope the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can help with stabilizing the Heaven Dou Empire's administration."
In terms of strength, Sky City was sufficient, but there weren't as many administrative personnel.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had great influence and could attract many administrative personnel from various places. Coupled with the various Spirit Halls within the Heaven Dou Empire and some who would defect, it wouldn't be difficult to establish an administrative system.
Of course, no matter where, there were always many bad apples, but there was no rush for this; they could be slowly cleaned up step by step.
It was difficult to rectify such bad apples from the bottom up, but it was very simple to clean them up from the top down.
Those who were unqualified would all be dragged out and beheaded. There were plenty of people who wanted to be officials, so a few less wouldn't matter.
On the Douluo Continent, there were still many educated people, which was better than the ancient society of Wang Teng's previous life.
Every city within the Heaven Dou Empire, no matter how small, would have a Spirit Master Academy, such as Nuoding City. Every year, many students graduated from various junior Spirit Master academies.
These graduating students might not be very strong, but at the very least, they had some culture. After all, reading and writing were fundamental skills for every Spirit Master; otherwise, how could they not even understand books related to Spirit Beasts? How could they not even recognize Spirit Beasts?
"Make a move on the Heaven Dou Empire? Will Spirit Hall participate?"
Ning Fengzhi had long anticipated that Sky City would make a move on the Heaven Dou Empire. The only key was whether Spirit Hall would participate.
This was a different concept. Although Wang Teng was the City Lord of Sky City, and Qian Renxue would be able to control Spirit Hall in the future, they were still two separate forces. Moreover, Qian Renxue hadn't even taken control of Spirit Hall yet!
"All Spirit Halls within the Heaven Dou Empire will be incorporated by Sky City at that time. In other words, the Heaven Dou Empire will only belong to Sky City from now on."
Although Sky City and Spirit Hall would be one family in the future, Wang Teng intended to annex Spirit Hall, not for Spirit Hall to annex Sky City.
"Then does Sky City have enough manpower? After all, the Heaven Dou Empire's army appears weak on the surface, but its actual strength is not to be underestimated."
Although Ning Fengzhi was not very clear about the situation of the Heaven Dou Empire's army, he knew it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
In Ning Fengzhi's opinion, Sky City's strength was strong enough, but the number of people was too small. Relying solely on experts was still slightly insufficient; they couldn't suppress all the armies. Even if they succeeded, the chaos caused would certainly not be small.
"You don't have to worry about the Heaven Dou Empire's army. As early as a few years ago, I planted many spies. Now, in the Heaven Dou military, there are a thousand Spirit Emperors who are Sky City's people.
Furthermore, Sky City also has one hundred Spirit Saints, plus me, and eleven 98-ranked Titled Douluo. That's enough."
"Hiss~!"
Both Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong all gasped, making a great contribution to global warming on the Douluo World.
Ning Fengzhi had not expected that Sky City would have so many 98-ranked Titled Douluo, and also so many experts under its command.
Although a thousand Spirit Emperors were nothing compared to eleven 98-ranked Titled Douluo, a thousand Spirit Emperors were still a formidable force.
Moreover, with so many experts planted by Sky City within the Heaven Dou Empire's army, didn't that mean Sky City could control half of the Heaven Dou Empire's army?
After all, Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Masters were considered experts no matter where they were. Within the Heaven Dou Empire's military hierarchy, they could definitely become mid-to-high-ranking officers.
"Since that's the case, I will have the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cooperate with the operation at that time."
Coming back to his senses, Ning Fengzhi nodded and said.
Even without the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sky City alone could take down the Heaven Dou Empire. Eleven 98-ranked Titled Douluo, how could they lose?
"Mm, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, I have some small trinkets here for you."
Wang Teng took out two sets of tenth-rank Titled Douluo-level equipment and gave them to Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
He gave Chen Xin light armor and accessories, and Gu Rong plate armor and accessories. As for weapons, they didn't need them, as both of them had powerful combat abilities without weapons.
"This is?"
The two were a bit confused. Armor wasn't popular on the Douluo Continent.
Generally speaking, only ordinary soldiers wore armor. As for Spirit Masters, it was merely for decoration. Ordinary armor wasn't even as strong as their own protective spirit power!
Even armor made of special metals wasn't as strong as a high-level Spirit Master's protective spirit power.
"Don't underestimate this armor and these accessories; they are all spirit tools.
Wearing the armor can increase physical defense by 100%, and these accessories can increase spirit power defense by 100%."
Just by looking at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Wang Teng knew they were country bumpkins with little knowledge.
"spirit tools?"
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed. The effects were indeed powerful, worthy of being spirit tools. Moreover, for Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who had strong physiques, the weight of the armor was nothing. As for the accessories, there was even less of a problem.
"That's right, Uncle Ning. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs offensive spirit tools, you can also purchase them from me.
However, these spirit tools all have level restrictions, unlike the pistol I gave you before.
Those with insufficient spirit power levels cannot use them, and spirit tools of a low level cannot display their effects. Only when the spirit power level and the spirit tool's rank are consistent will they work."
Ordinary equipment produced by the system mall all had usage level restrictions, unlike the equipment opened from the magic box.
And Wang Teng didn't plan to sell defensive armor and accessory-type equipment. After all, for the support system Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, having offensive spirit tools was enough.
"My virtuous nephew, what are the prices?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up. If equipped with spirit tools, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, who mainly used support system Spirits, would also have combat power.
Although they might not be able to defeat attack system Spirit Masters of the same rank at higher spirit power levels due to the lack of offensive Spirit Abilities, at least they wouldn't be easily defeated by those of higher ranks.
At lower levels, spirit tools were still very good, especially the automatic pistol. Its attack frequency was much faster than a Spirit Master's Spirit Abilities, and its power was also considerable, with low spirit power consumption.
"Ten thousand gold coins for Spirit Elder level, thirty thousand gold coins for Spirit Ancestor level, one hundred thousand gold coins for Spirit King level, three hundred thousand gold coins for Spirit Emperor level, and one million gold coins for Spirit Saint level."
That's right, the black-hearted Wang Teng directly added a zero after the purchase price in the system mall.
Of course, this price wasn't expensive. For Ning Fengzhi, who was not short of money, it was just a drop in the bucket.
If he hadn't met Wang Teng, and if Ning Fengzhi, who was still a Spirit Saint, could spend a million gold coins to gain the ability to protect himself, he would definitely pay without hesitation.
"Good!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded, without bargaining.
After all, this price wasn't expensive. spirit tools were worth this price! And the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only had a few thousand people, with support system Spirit Masters accounting for only half.
Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a rule: the other half of a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit must have combat power. Otherwise, if both husband and wife lacked combat power, it would be very dangerous.
Moreover, only a minority had high spirit power levels; most were only Spirit Ancestor level.
Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold coins were nothing to Ning Fengzhi, this great magnate.
