Supreme Uprising - Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Luo Yunyang's Value

According to a saying, very few people were willing to brave the snow to deliver charcoal, but many people were willing to add flowers to a brocade . The Eagle King's reputation among the other military leaders had never been bad, but now that he had the one-man army that was Luo Yunyang in his arsenal, his position became much higher .

"What do you suggest, Old Eagle? I guess we should listen to you!"

"Ha ha ha! An old man like you wouldn't let us suffer, Eagle . You are fair and reasonable, so you will find a way for everyone to benefit!"

Flattering voices kept talking . Everyone was trying to suck up to the Eagle King as much as they could . Even the fat old man snorted, "You are a reasonable man, Old Eagle! You shouldn't forget your identity!"

The Eagle King chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then I will let Luo Yunyang open the path and let the other elites in . The golden body fluid and two A-grade source fluids will still belong to the Rising Dragon Army . "

What the f*ck?

A few fellows who had been busy complimenting the Eagle King now stared daggers at him, as if he had just killed their parents . One of them, who had just addressed the Eagle King as a fellow brother moments ago, suddenly exclaimed bluntly, "I always thought that you were rather reasonable . I never expected that you could be this treacherous!"

"You are a reasonable man, Old Eagle . How could you become this greedy?"

"This is a real disappointment!"

The Eagle King smiled, but didn't reply . Now, the entire situation is in my hands . You can talk all you want, but you're just wasting your breath!

As he thought about it, the Eagle King pointed a finger at Luo Yunyang and proclaimed, "Everyone will get an opportunity . As long as you defeat him, you can let your own elite martialists inside to search for the golden body fluid . "

The fat old man's face twitched . The golden body fluid was the Sky High Military's property . They had only brought it as a mere joke! It was supposed to be just for laughs!

They had just wanted to make a bigger deal out of this affair and watch the Rising Dragon Army receive an embarrassing blow . However, as it turned out, they had gone out for wool and come home shorn!

"No complaints from me," the officer in charge of the Royal Forest Military said before laughing faintly . "He he… It wasn't our golden body fluid in the first place, anyway!"

This particular military leader didn't speak much normally, but this time his words delivered a sick burn . When the fat old man heard this, he felt like weeping .

Yes, yes!

The Royal Forest Military led the way, and the other military leaders parroted their approval . The golden body fluid wasn't theirs after all . If their own martialists had faced Luo Yunyang, they most likely wouldn't have succeeded . Why would they make things difficult for themselves?

"I accept, but Luo Yunyang has already obtained some golden body fluid and two A-grade source fluids, so he should not take part in the fight on the island!" the fat old man proclaimed loudly after muttering to himself for a bit .

"That's right, Luo Yunyang cannot participate . He has already accomplished his mission and then some, so he should get to rest . " The Royal Forest Military's officer, who had been on their side just moments ago, now betrayed the Eagle King without a second thought .

A determined look flashed across the Eagle King's face . He was about to decline, when Chief Instructor Lu spoke up . "Alright, I'd rather that everyone is happy together rather than alone . We accept these conditions!"

"Alright, it's a deal!" the fat man said, glancing over at Luo Yunyang .

"Why, Old Lu?" the Eagle King asked in a hushed voice as he walked quickly to Chief Instructor Lu's side .

"We have already accomplished our mission and then some . Our new primary objective isn't to acquire more A-grade source fluids, but to foster our relationship with the other armies . If we let Luo Yunyang onto the island, given his abilities, I fear that he would just be robbing the others!"

As Chief Instructor Lu spoke, he looked over at Luo Yunyang's delicate features . He couldn't be certain that the kid would really do such a thing .

The Eagle King turned to look at Luo Yunyang in astonishment . He suddenly thought about everything Luo Yunyang had just done .

"Ha ha ha! Is that the kid's hobby? Good, very good . . . I like it!"

After the decision of the military leaders, Luo Yunyang turned from a participating elite martialist into a spectator on the viewing terrace .

He naturally couldn't sit with the various military leaders, so all he could do was stand aside and chat with Ji Tian, who had approached him voluntarily .

As a young powerhouse that had swept aside all competition, Luo Yunyang was undoubtedly the most prominent person there . Numerous eyes were fixed on him in no time .

"Damn it! That kid is actually really popular . That fox isn't someone to be trifled with either, though!" Xu Zhong shook his head gently as he watched Luo Yunyang and Ji Tian chat happily .

"How did you get so fast, Luo Yunyang? Do you have a girlfriend? Just tell big sister . . . If you don't have one, how about I find you one from the Royal Forest Military?"

Luo Yunyang's eyes twinkled as he faced Ji Tian's astute interrogation . He realized that she was trying to trap him in a roundabout way . His guileless reactions made Ji Tian act even more exaggeratedly and coquettishly .

She had to admit that this carefree-looking fellow actually had a high IQ . Every time she asked him a substantial question, he would act all naive and distracted, just like a curled-up hedgehog that wouldn't budge, no matter how hard one tried to poke it .

This made Ji Tian feel a rush of excitement . Her mind was completely distracted .

Three hours later, the elite martialists from the eight armies started to return . Although all the military leaders present held positions of considerable significance, there were looks of apprehension on their faces as they watched their martialists return .

A-grade source fluid was really important . Although not everyone who used A-grade source fluid was able to become a grandmaster, people that became grandmasters generally used A-grade source fluid . No one could doubt this .

The first martialist to rush over was a tall, hot-blooded young man . As soon as he appeared, someone went over to meet him . "How was it?"

"I have obtained a B-grade source fluid, sir!" Although the young man replied respectfully, his face was alight with delight .

Although B-grade source fluid wasn't as powerful as A-grade source fluid, it still made lots of people envious . The person who had asked patted the young man on the back and said, "Good!"

B-grade source fluid, C-grade source fluid, D-grade source fluid… A continuous stream of martialists reported their own achievements to their superiors .

"Yun Lei! What kind of source fluid did you get?" the old man from the Royal Forest Military asked solemnly when Yun Lei and a bunch of other Royal Forest martialists walked over .

Yun Lei was the Royal Forest Military's Newcomer King, so their military leader was the most concerned about him .

"You have to call the shots, sir . We originally obtained an A-grade source fluid, but it was snatched away by the Sky High's Seven Pillars . " Yun Lei hadn't opened his mouth . The person speaking was a girl standing next to him .

Yun Lei's eyes were blazing with anger . He had fought really hard to kill a C-grade dire beast, yet on his way back he had been intercepted by the Sky High Military .

The old man from the Royal Forest Military stared angrily in the direction of the fat man from the Sky High Military .

The fat old man, who pretended that he didn't notice his angry glances, was laughing calmly .
