Chapter 2621: 2621
Everyone in the meeting room remained silent, a fanatic light flashing in their eyes after listening to Long Xianglong’s declaration .
“If Black Flame is telling the truth, and he can help three of our experts break past the 100% threshold, I think the matter should be negotiable,” the crimson-eyed man said . “That kind of strength would be extremely helpful during future Promotion Quests . If we can introduce a few Tier 4 players before the other superpowers, we’ll have a head start when raiding Mythic Field Bosses and forbidden lands that have gone untouched . We might even be able to occupy ancient ruins before anyone else has a chance . ”
“I concur . While our core secrets are essential, we’ll need stronger combatants than we have now if we wish to further Azure’s development . If we have a group of Tier 4 experts early on, the other superpowers won’t dare target our key resource spots,” Butterfly Bell said, nodding .
In God’s Domain, the strong were revered . A strong individual might not benefit a Guild when it came to resources, but they were a powerful deterrent for potential enemies, especially if those players were Tier 4 powerhouses . At this stage of the game, no one would dare think of attacking a Guild City if it housed a Tier 4 powerhouse . Numbers wouldn’t be nearly enough to bridge the gap between a Tier 3 expert’s strength and that of a Tier 4 player .
With three Tier 4 experts, specifically experts with extraordinary combat power for their level and tier, Azure would have an effective deterrent . Even without Violet Sword, Azure could safeguard its current resource areas . The chamber might even be able to secure more .
On the other hand, keeping a tight hold on the Guild’s Void Realm Legacy would only ensure that Azure’s foundations remained steady . It wouldn’t help the Guild grow .
Upon hearing the crimson-eyed man’s and Butterfly Bell’s words, the independent Grand Elders promptly nodded in agreement .
One couldn’t make an omelet without breaking eggs . Now that their potential gains were clearly greater than their potential losses, they had no reason to refuse Zero Wing’s offer .
“I have no arguments against accepting Black Flame’s offer, but how do we choose which three members to send?” Duan Hanshan asked Long Xianglong .
Interested to hear his answer, the Grand Elders turned toward the Long Family’s representative .
Long Xianglong had summoned them here to discuss this topic, and Silent Wonder was a member of Zero Wing . The Long Family was in the best position to negotiate this deal .
These three training slots were incredibly valuable . If these three players broke past their Mana Bodies’ 100% threshold, they’d rise to the apex of God’s Domain, even if they were merely Void Realm experts . Whatever faction these experts belonged to would gain quite a bit more authority within the Azure Chamber of Commerce . In fact, the slots distribution might cause a massive authoritarian shift in the Guild .
“I realize what you’re all thinking,” Long Xianglong said, chuckling as everyone gave him serious looks . “Rest assured; the Long Family won’t try to claim one of the slots for an unworthy candidate . Black Flame has already informed us that no random player will do . The three selected individuals must have incredible potential to make a breakthrough . As usual, the five families will have priority in selecting two players, and if one of their selections isn’t a match for the independent’s reserve member, that player will take their place . What does everyone think?”
Taking the initiative, Butterfly Bell said, “In that case, I nominate Boss Flame . We all know his strength and potential . I’m sure everyone can imagine how helpful he’d be to the Guild if Boss Flame grows even stronger . As for the younger generation, Solitary Frost is unmatched, and we don’t have anyone who can surpass Silk Moon’s talent . What are your thoughts?”Read more chapters at Listnovel . com
The independent Grand Elders silently nodded their agreement to the suggestion .
Normally, such opportunities were reserved for the younger generation, but Sinful Flame was Azure’s strongest expert . If he could increase his strength, not only would he become a better deterrent for Azure, but he could also solidify the independent Grand Elders’ authority . They didn’t mind giving up a training slot for this .
Duan Hanshan said nothing to oppose the idea . Rather, he was strongly in favor of the suggestion .
Earlier, he had worried that the Long Family would unfairly try to claim one of the three slots . That would leave Solitary Frost competing for the remaining slot reserved for the five families . While the young player had almost no chance of losing, nobody could say for certain that the independent faction of the Guild didn’t have something hidden up their sleeves . Now that Solitary Frost had been selected for one of the three slots, however, he had no issues with the arrangement .
“I’m afraid Silk Moon won’t do . We still haven’t been able to reach her,” Long Xianglong said, shaking his head . “Although Black Flame has given us a two-day time limit, we should make our decision as soon as possible, just in case .
I suggest we give the third slot to Yan Xiaoqian . She’s almost as talented as Silk Moon . What does everyone think?”
Everyone in the room stared at Long Xianglong, astonished . Even Duan Hanshan’s jaw almost dropped .
These training slots were invaluable, yet Long Xianglong wanted to give all three away . Moreover, he had just suggested the Duan Family claim one .
The Long Family and Duan Family had a ceaseless feud . Now, however, Long Xianglong had just suggested one of his rival’s younger members take the third slot . It was unbelievable!
Inwardly, Long Xianglong could only smile bitterly as he watched shock and confusion sweep through the room .
He did not wish to give this slot away, either, but unfortunately, with Silk Moon absent, the Long Family’s only other suitable candidate would be Long Xianglong himself . Due to his rocky relationship with Zero Wing, however, he definitely couldn’t go . His pride wouldn’t let him . While he could’ve suggested they send Burning Owl, trying to convince the other Grand Elders of the boy’s potential would be difficult . Azure had quite a few stronger players that were Burning Owl’s age, after all .
Since the Long Family was going to lose its slot no matter what, he might as well do the Duan Family a favor . In any case, the Long Family still had Silent Wonder, and because of her, it would have plenty of chances to benefit off of Zero Wing . Moreover, sending Yan Xiaoqian instead of Burning Owl would allow Azure to fulfill Shi Feng’s requirements and make training easier . Her potential had already been acknowledged as only second to Solitary Frost’s .
“Lunatic Long, we have no problems with this arrangement if you don’t,” Butterfly Bell calmly said .
None of the other Grand Elders objected to Long Xianglong’s proposal . Yan Xiaoqian was quite talented and only half a step away from the Domain Realm . She was undoubtedly the best candidate after Silk Moon .
“That settles it, then . I’ll contact Black Flame after this,” Long Xianglong announced, concluding the meeting . He then turned to Duan Hanshan and continued, “Old Ice Demon, please prepare Solitary Frost and Yan Xiaoqian . Once we sign the contract with Zero Wing, send them to the Starlight Fortress . ”
“It will be taken care of . Once the contract has been signed, I’ll take them there myself,” Duan Hanshan said, nodding .
Following which, everyone proceeded to discuss who they would send to Violet Sword’s ancient secret land . As soon as they reached a conclusion, the Grand Elders were dismissed, leaving to prepare for the raid .
An hour after the meeting had ended, Long Wushang represented the Azure Chamber of Commerce in signing a cooperative contract with Shi Feng . In no time at all, not only had Shi Feng gained the rights to one of Ocean Tide City’s Medium Shipyards and Golden Lands, but he had also received a Small Warehouse in the city as a gift .
Meanwhile, in Azure City’s Teleportation Hall…
“Are we really going to train with Zero Wing, Uncle Hanshan?” Yan Xiaoqian asked Duan Hanshan, who wore a serious expression . “I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to rejoin Violet Sword’s training if we do . Instructor Torre might just give up on us . ”
Although she and Solitary Frost were members of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and where they trained at was none of Violet Sword’s business, these two were considered Torre’s disciples . Training with Zero Wing would be a slap in the face to Torre as if they were declaring that Zero Wing’s training was more valuable .
“While Violet Sword’s training is amazingly effective, this is a unique opportunity . Do you think securing these slots was easy? I doubt you’ll get a chance like this in the future . Moreover, only Zero Wing can provide this kind of training right now,” Duan Hanshan informed her coldly .
“Uncle Hanshan, I agree with Xiaoqian . It is only a matter of time before we unlock our Mana Bodies’ full potential, but opportunities to improve our combat standards and techniques are difficult to come by . We went to great lengths to earn Instructor Torre’s guidance . If he finds out that we left to train with Zero Wing, I doubt he’ll agree to train us anymore,” Solitary Frost said .
While he admitted that Zero Wing was quite capable when it came to helping players unlock their Mana Bodies’ potential, passing up a chance to improve their combat standards and techniques for a chance to unlock their Mana Bodies a few days sooner was a waste .
The only reason he had lost to Silent Wonder, in his opinion, was that he had yet to unlock his Mana Body fully . If he had, defeating her would’ve been a piece of cake . With enough time, anyone could unlock their Mana Body’s full potential . Hence, he firmly believed that improving his combat standards and techniques was the true path to power .
“You’re only going to Zero Wing to unlock your Mana Body . You’re not there to learn techniques . It doesn’t clash with Instructor Torre’s training . I’m sure he won’t have an issue with this,” Duan Hanshan replied . “It’s getting late . We should hurry to the Starlight Fortress . We shouldn’t make Zero Wing wait too long . ”
With that said, Duan Hanshan led Solitary Frost, Yan Xiaoqian, and a few dozen Azure members through the teleportation array and to the closest NPC town to the Starlight Fortress .
