Chapter 31: Negotiation
Wang Dong did not have much happiness, even though the painful memory was sealed, her body's instincts still restricted her emotions.
Time flew by as Wang Dong gradually accepted all of her memories.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and Huo Yuhao's spirit power had risen to level 49 through his persistent cultivation.
Seeing that there was less than a month until the All-Continent Spirit Master Tournament, Huo Yuhao found Mu En.
"Elder Mu, the 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone I need should be in Star Luo City, most likely in the Star Luo Emperor's hands."
Mu En frowned slightly upon hearing this; with the involvement of a country's Emperor, this matter would not be so easy to handle.
"Don't worry, this old man still has some face. As long as we offer more resources for exchange, Xu Jiawei will most likely agree."
"Elder Mu, we can exchange for five sets of Two-Word Battle Armor. You can try negotiating first, and if they hesitate, just directly trade these five sets of Battle Armor to them."
Huo Yuhao said, handing Mu En a storage ring, which contained five sets of Two-Word Battle Armor that Huo Yuhao had made over the past few months.
Mu En took the storage ring, his expression relaxed a bit, and he felt more confident about a successful transaction.
At the same time, Mu En also understood from Huo Yuhao's urgency that this spirit ring was extremely important to him.
"With the Two-Word Battle Armor as a bargaining chip, this trip will surely achieve its goal, child. Don't be anxious; you must remain calm in the face of adversity."
Huo Yuhao watched Elder Mu leave, feeling a slight tension in his heart.
The Snow Empress, as the final step in Huo Yuhao's significant self-improvement, was also the only opportunity Huo Yuhao was not entirely confident about.
Most of the spirit rings required for Huo Yuhao's second Spirit would need the Snow Empress's help to acquire.
Now, he could only hope that the Douluo Continent's millennia of luck would once again display its divine force.
Five days later, in Star Luo City, Mu En and Xu Jiawei sat opposite each other.
The Star Luo Empire's Emperor was looking at Mu En with some surprise at this moment.
Mu En immediately brought up the matter of the 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, which truly startled Xu Jiawei.
"Elder Mu, how did you know that we just acquired a set of 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone? Are there any rumors outside?"
Listening to Xu Jiawei's somewhat probing words, Mu En smiled faintly and said straightforwardly:
"Alright, stop probing. A junior in the Academy awakened some special abilities and just happened to have some perception of this matter."
Xu Jiawei immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it was a good thing there was no mole.
Then he said somewhat tactfully, "It's not that I don't want to trade with you, Elder, but these items are truly needed for some of our plans. Do you absolutely have to exchange for them, Elder?"
"Don't be so quick to refuse. We can offer five rank-nine spirit tools. These spirit tools can fully elevate a Spirit Douluo's strength to the Titled Douluo level."
Hearing Mu En's confident tone, Xu Jiawei knew that this transaction would most likely have to be made.
Picking up the storage spirit tool Mu En placed on the table and looking at the Two-Word Battle Armor inside, Xu Jiawei weighed the pros and cons and ultimately chose to agree to the transaction.
"I didn't expect Shrek Academy's spirit tools to have developed to such an extent after not paying attention for a few years."
"It's a pity that as an Emperor, I cannot join Shrek Academy. Since that's the case, I'll hand this God-Sealing Platform over to you, Elder."
Xu Jiawei no longer hesitated and had his guards transfer the rank-nine spirit tool, the God-Sealing Platform, to Mu En.
"Inside is a 100,000-year Spirit Beast that failed to take human form. It should be the one you want to trade for. This spirit tool is also given to you."
"Good. Then I won't stay any longer. This old man is nearing the end of his life and gets tired after a bit of activity."
As his voice fell, Mu En's figure, along with the God-Sealing Platform, disappeared from the palace.
Xu Jiujiu, who was beside him, looked at Xu Jiawei with some confusion.
"That person's identity must be very significant, otherwise, Brother, you wouldn't have given away such an important 100,000-year embryo."
"Naturally. This transaction may not necessarily be a loss. If these few spirit tools can truly create five Titled Douluo, then we are the ones who profit."
"Brother, can Shrek Academy really achieve such a level in spirit tools?"
Hearing Xu Jiujiu's question, Xu Jiawei responded with a wry smile:
"The one who just came was the current Sea Gods Pavilion Master, who dominated an entire era. Since he spoke and expressed his stance, it is most likely true."
"Moreover, even if it's false, the Star Luo Empire, which must rely on Shrek Academy, has no choice but to accept it."
"It's just that if it's true, then the title of number one in spirit tools will probably go to Shrek Academy."
Xu Jiujiu was somewhat stunned upon hearing this, not expecting such a kind old man to be the contemporary Sea Gods Pavilion Master. At the same time, she was astonished by the speed of Shrek Academy's spirit tool development.
"As soon as Elder Mu spoke, I was inclined to agree. If we were to offend Shrek Academy in order to deal with the Sun Moon Empire, that would truly be putting the cart before the horse."
"Brother is right. After all, Heaven Dou and Heaven Soul Empires are not one with us. But as for the Sun Moon Empire, how should the next plan be implemented?"
"The reward for the Body Sect will be changed to delivering spirit tool blueprints for the Sun Moon Empire, and then a God-Sealing Platform will be given to Spirit Transmission Douluo, allowing him to try and capture another 100,000-year Spirit Beast."
"Then I'll go arrange it now." Xu Jiujiu prepared to leave upon hearing this.
However, Xu Jiawei called out to her, "There's no rush for this matter. Why don't we first see if this spirit tool truly has such an effect?"
While Xu Jiujiu and Xu Jiawei went to test the Battle Armor's effects, Mu En returned at high speed with the God-Sealing Platform.
The start of the All-Continent Spirit Master Tournament was already imminent. Since Huo Yuhao was going to absorb this 100,000-year spirit ring, it would inevitably take three to five days.
If Mu En didn't hurry back, it might delay Huo Yuhao's participation in the tournament.
Huo Yuhao was currently preparing to participate in the confrontation between the Spirit Master Tournament's main team and the reserve team.
Originally, Huo Yuhao didn't plan to go, but he didn't expect Xuan Zi to personally invite him.
Huo Yuhao guessed there must be some special circumstance, otherwise, even Xuan Zi wouldn't easily disturb him.
As expected, after Wang Dong's strength greatly increased a while ago, she had the idea of competing for the main team captain position.
And Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng had both been defeated by her, so Xuan Zi had no choice but to come find Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. How much of a cheat had Tang San given Wang Dong, that she could even defeat Ma Xiaotao, who had a Spirit Emperor cultivation?
Little did he know that all these enhancements came at the cost of the Butterfly God Position being damaged and downgraded.
Arriving at the Spirit Fighting Arena, Huo Yuhao immediately saw Wang Dong, who had returned to her female attire. Her exquisite beauty was very eye-catching.
On the arena, the moment Wang Dong saw Huo Yuhao, she revealed a resentful expression and questioned:
"Huo Yuhao, why are you avoiding me? Didn't we agree to have a meal together and clear up the misunderstanding?"
"Perhaps you misunderstood. I wasn't avoiding you; I simply didn't have time."
Huo Yuhao merely explained faintly upon hearing this.
Wang Dong immediately said angrily, "Then let's have a fight first and see who wins and becomes the captain."
