C97 A Request from Star Ocean Commerce

"Sure enough."

Whether it was Lei Ming or Du Xi, both of their faces revealed a look of relief.

Lei Ming praised, "A hundred years ago, Spear Saint could be said to be the Saint of Martial Saints. You are his descendant. It's no wonder why you are just a Stage Four Martial Master, but have the powerful strength to smash Stage Five Martial Masters. You are the one we are looking for."

Hearing that, Tang Huan could not help but be startled.

He had used the Spiritual Wheel of True Fire to prove that he was only a Stage Four Martial Master and was just trying to excuse himself from Lei Ming and Du Xi's request. But impersonating as a descendant of Ye Chongshan made him more difficult to refuse them.

"Brother Ye, don't say no first."

Seeing Tang Huan's expression, Du Xi hurriedly said, "That Phoenix Flame Essence is actually located in the Phoenix Spirit Valley of Phoenix Mountain. This kind of treasure cannot leave its growing place for more than three days; otherwise its efficacy will be greatly reduced. Our original plan was to secretly transport the Dragon Crystal over. After everything was ready, our Weapon Refiner would set off from Glory Continent and directly forge weapons beside the Phoenix Flame Essence. In this way, our opponent wouldn't have time to react."

"But we are not ready yet, and our Weapon Refiner has not arrived yet, but the news has already been leaked. Tomorrow, the news regarding the Phoenix Flame Essence will definitely spread throughout the entire city, and will also spread throughout the entire Phoenix Mountain."

"At that time, who knows how many people will frantically search for Phoenix Flame Essence in the mountain."

"Furthermore, this information was definitely leaked out from within our guild, and the location of the Phoenix Flame Essence will definitely be leaked out as well. I think that very soon, someone will find the Phoenix Spirit Valley and cause an intense fight. Some people may even intentionally destroy the Phoenix Flame Essence."

"So, the original plan won't work. We have to come up with an alternative. Since the news is bound to leak out, then, rather than waiting for others to spread it, it would be better for us to first leak out the information ourselves, and then we can also take advantage of the initiative."

"Taking advantage of initiative?"

Tang Huan asked with some doubt.

Du Xi slightly nodded, and said with a heavy voice, "According to our information, the Phoenix Flame Essence will be fully-grown around ten days later, reaching the state of maximum effecacy. Therefore, we will release information regarding the Phoenix Flame Essence tonight and hold a Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting ten days later."

"Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting? What do you mean?" Tang Huan was puzzled.

"In any case, after this information is leaked, the competition over the Phoenix Flame Essence will become unavoidable. Then we should hold an open martial competition. Before the competition begins, we will set up a registration place outside the Phoenix Spirit Valley. All those who are interested in the Phoenix Flame Essence can sign up for the martial competition."

"Star Ocean Commerce will only keep 30% of the Phoenix Flame Essence, and the remaining 70% will be rewards for the top three in the Martial Competition. The first place will get 40%, the second will get 20%, and the third will get 10%. Even if one doesn't enter the top three, as long as he enters the top hundred, there will still be valuable rewards for him. We'll list all prizes publicly when we spread the news."

"In addition, after Martial Competition ends, we will also make a ranking list of Phoenix Spirit Martial Warriors, placing the names and origins of the top hundred Martial Warriors onto the list, and then spread the list throughout the world. We believe most Martial Warriors who covet the Phoenix Flame Essence will be attracted to participate in the Martial Competition."

"Brother Ye, we hope that you can represent Star Ocean Commerce to join the competition. If you can enter the top three of the competition, we suggest that we can split the reward seventy-thirty."

"However, we will definitely compensate you. There will be a skilled Weapon Refiner who will use the portion of Phoenix Flame Essence you obtained to forge a weapon. Furthermore, all the other materials such as the Dragon Crystal will all be provided by us, the Star Ocean Commerce."

As he finished his words, an additional sense of anticipation emerged in Do Xi's eyes when he looked at Tang Huan.

Split the reward seventy-thirty? Of course, the Star Ocean Commerce will take the seventy percent.

Although it looked like Tang Huan was at a disadvantage, Star Ocean Commerce had promised to supply him with Dragon Crystal and all the other materials needed to forge a weapon, which could be considered as making up for his loss.

One had to know that Dragon Crystal was definitely one of the most expensive mid-grade gems, its value was not the slightest bit inferior to a Saint-Grade Gem.

It was just a colossus like Star Ocean Commerce that could make such a promise. Ordinary forces simply could not find the Dragon Crystal at all, and even the royal families of the three empires did not necessarily have it.

In an instant, Tang Huan's heart skipped a beat.

But in an instant, Tang Huan's feverish mind calmed down again, and he laughed at himself: "Boss Lei, Boss Du, you guys think too highly of me. Although my current strength can defeat ordinary Stage Five Martial Masters, if I meet a powerful Stage Five Martial Master, or even a Stage Six Martial Master, I will lose without a doubt. "

"Don't worry about this, Brother Ye."

Lei Ming laughed, "This Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting isn't something that just anyone can participate in. When we hold our Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting, we would also make a rule that all participants of the Martial Competition must not be stronger than a Stage Five Martial Master, thus, Brother Ye, you have a very high chance of winning."

Tang Huan was speechless when he heard this. "Aren't you afraid of arousing the displeasure of Stage Six Martial Masters?"

Lei Ming chuckled, "Among Phoenix Mountain and this Phoenix City, Stage Five Martial Masters are the most numerous. Stage Six Martial Masters are the least, so what can they do even if they are dissatisfied? They could not participate in the martial competition, all the Stage Five Martial Masters were the happiest. If they dared to cause a ruckus, the many Stage Five Martial Masters would first reject them. This place is different from Glory Continent. Very few of the Stage Five Martial Masters who come here to gain experience have no special background."

"I see."

Tang Huan suddenly realized, "Then what about the opponent of your Star Ocean Commerce? If you hold the Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting, they will definitely come to cause trouble, right?"

Lei Ming laughed coldly, "If we continue to hide it from them, we might really worry about whether they will come to cause trouble, but now that we have put this matter to the light, there is no need to care anymore. Our Star Ocean Commerce is able to stand tall for so many years without falling, it is not by our mouths."

"Since the rules have been set, whoever dares to jump out and break it, that will be our Star Ocean Commerce's enemy. I actually hope that they can jump out now. That way, it'll be easier to follow and catch them in one fell swoop. "

After a slight pause, Lei Ming looked at Tang Huan and said, "Brother Ye, a treasure like Phoenix Flame Essence is something rarely seen in a hundred years, if you miss it then it will be gone."

"Boss Lei, I have one more question. You have quite a few Stage Five Martial Masters near Phoenix City, right?" Tang Huan frowned slightly.

"There are indeed a lot of them, but none of them have any hope of entering the top three of Martial Competition. Thus, we have no choice but to ask you for help."

Lei Ming said in a depressed tone, "Sending people from the Glory Continent would take a long time, and what we need the most right now is to quickly slash through this mess. It is already slow enough to hold the Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting ten days later, but unfortunately, the Phoenix Flame Essence can only become full-grown after that long, otherwise, we could advance the time quite a bit. "

"Brother Ye, regardless of whether or not this matter is successful, in the future, all of our Star Ocean Commerce's stores will give you a 20% discount when you buy something."

"That won't be necessary."

A smile appeared on Tang Huan's face as he made his decision in his heart. "Boss Lei, Boss Du, why don't you just trade this discount for a few dozen mid-grade gems?"

"No problem." When Lei Ming and Du Xi heard this, they immediately beamed with joy.
