Luo Wu cast his son a glance.
Luo Hai smiled and pulled Meng Chao to the side.
It was just as Meng Chao expected. It was just like how Yan Organization saw the value of the future Ripple Force and begged him to work together.
As a saber master, Luo Wu also saw the value of the future One Hundred Saber Techniques, so he modified some of the radical moves that were not suitable for the current generation to practice in hopes that they could be promoted on a large scale.
With his connections and the fact that he had participated in Meng Chao's treatment plan with Ning Shewo and Yan Organization, it was not difficult for him to know that Meng Chao had the mysterious Old Fire Relayer behind him.
He did not think about kicking Meng Chao aside and taking this fat piece of meat for himself.
Instead, he used the Demon Subduing Slash as a greeting gift to work together and form a connection with the Old Fire Relayer.
Meng Chao would naturally not reject working together with a Heaven Realm superhuman.
He only said that he could not make the decision and that he had to go back and ask for instructions.
Besides, he did not want to sell the future One Hundred Saber Techniques for money.
"Of course. The martial art itself will definitely be promoted for free. We can even imitate Mister Ning Shewo and set up a foundation to promote it at a cost."
Luo Hai told Meng Chao that buying and selling martial arts was the lowest form of profit. It had long since become outdated.
Around thirty years ago, there were people who created brand new martial arts and sold them for money.
But when everyone was cultivating and fighting against the monster horde, doing so was too short-sighted and greedy.
Besides, if there were not a lot of customers who bought martial arts, they would not be able to gather data and feedback from real fights. They would not be able to upgrade the later versions either, so the martial arts would soon be eliminated.
The current profit model was not to use the martial arts to earn money, but to think of ways to increase the value of the subsequent services.
"The Luo family has been researching saber techniques for decades. We have a lot of gene medicine that can increase reflexes and force execution. We also have all sorts of training classes and training camps. We've even worked together with some weapon designers to create a saber with the same name and create the Soul Severing brand," Luo Hai said.
"What my father means is that you provide the fame and saber techniques, and we will provide the medicine, training classes, and publicity fees. We will give you the saber techniques for free, and the online classes will be free as well. I can guarantee that the newbies will be able to learn around thirty to fifty percent of it.
"If you want to further your studies, you can spend money to come to our classes and training camps. You can buy our gene medicine and custom-made sabers, or you can join the Fog Cultivation Ten-Day Tour that my father leads.
"You must understand that the One Hundred Saber Techniques is one of the two cold weapon techniques that all students must learn in high school. Practically everyone in Dragon City knows it, so it's only natural that everyone has a need to upgrade it. Based on my analysis, the version you used to kill the Bloody Moon Wolf King should be the strongest version in the market. Think about it. Just how much profit is hidden in this market?"
Meng Chao's eyes lit up.
He learned one thing from the Yan's Group.
The more basic a cultivation technique was, the bigger the market and the higher the profit.
This transaction was worth it.
He rolled his eyes and said, "What fame do I have?"
"Don't belittle yourself. You can be considered a minor celebrity now."
"If a Heaven Realm elite killed a Bloody Moon Wolf King, there wouldn't be anything strange about it. But you're just a normal high school student, and you managed to kill such a powerful superbeast. Doesn't that prove just how strong the upgraded version of One Hundred Saber Techniques is?"
Meng Chao thought about it carefully.
"Meng Chao, talk to A 'Hai slowly. If you're interested, I'll definitely support you. Let's see what you two can do." Luo Wu stood up and left in a nonchalant manner.
With his status and power, he did not place too much importance on this matter.
He just wanted to use it to train his son and pave the way for his son so that he could get to know the powerful people among his peers.
After he closed the door, Luo Hai exercised his limbs and said with a smile, "My dad finally left. He felt uneasy when he was here, and he didn't even dare to speak loudly.
"Meng Chao, think about it. I'm sincere about working with you. My dad won't interfere too much in this matter. If the pie gets bigger, we'll split it. When you go to university, you'll need a lot of money and cultivation resources, right?"
Meng Chao stared at Luo Hai for a while. "Honestly, there's no need for you to work with me. The One Hundred Saber Techniques has always been public. Master Luo Wu understood a new saber will from the Bloody Moon Wolf King's carcass and modified it by a large margin. It's not a problem for you to say that it's something that belongs to the Luo family. You can just think of a way to sell it. Why are you giving me money?"
"What? Do you think that something fell from the sky and you don't dare to take it?"
Luo Hai laughed. "I like to look at the long term when I do things. I believe that in the near future, our cooperation won't be limited to the upgraded version of One Hundred Saber Techniques. I can't lose something big because of something small."
Meng Chao continued staring at him. "Are you going to work together or recruit me?"
"If I'm recruiting you, will you accept it?"
Luo Hai asked straightforwardly. "We're living in an era where storms are raging. We don't know how many fortuitous chances and risks lie beyond the fog. If we want to do something big, we have to build our own team. If I build my own superhuman squad one day, will you be willing to be the vice-captain?"
"With your circle of friends and Master Luo's connections, do you think that you won't be able to find a suitable vice-captain?"
"My circle of friends is filled with rich people with great backgrounds. All of them have their own thoughts and interests. I can drink, sing, and laugh with these people, but it's too troublesome to make a living in the same place," Luo Hai said nonchalantly.
"As for my father, the people he helped me find are not as reliable as my brothers who have gone through thick and thin with me.
"It's easy to get an army of one thousand, but it's hard to get a good general. You've already proven your abilities during the mental strength test and the fights in the wild. Even if you run into a small obstacle right now, I believe that once you enter university, you'll still have a chance to stand out. At that time, countless people will throw you olive branches, and by then, you won't be able to recognize me.
"So, now is the time when you need me the most. I'll use our mutual interests to tie you to the same side!"
His words were domineering, but he did not hate them.
If it were a normal young man who came from a poor family but had some talent, he might have been touched and felt that Luo Hai was giving his all to him. From then on, he would be tied to the Luo family's interests.
"You're right. We do indeed have the foundation to work together, but I have a question. Why don't I form a superhuman squad and you become the vice-captain?"
Luo Hai could not help but laugh. "You're a broken-star superhuman —"
He knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he shut his mouth in time.
"How many main meridians are cleared and whether or not I can fight are two different things," Meng Chao said calmly. "Just now, your father said that broken-star superhumans can bring out the strongest power of certain skills. We don't have many skills, but each of them is strong enough!"
Luo Hai's eyes lit up. "So, as long as I win against you, you'll be willing to join my squad?"
"What if I win against you?" Meng Chao asked.
Both of them looked at each other and stopped talking.
The aura between them suddenly became stronger.
Their spirit flames clashed and surged against each other, and they let out screams that sounded like a pressure cooker.
Luo Hai suddenly took a step forward. The spirit tattoos on his right arm shone, and he executed the Soul Breaking Saber that was passed down in his family.
Meng Chao faced him head-on and raised his hand to execute a Demon Subduing Slash.
Luo Hai's family was well-versed in martial arts, so his attacks were smooth and varied.
Meng Chao reached a breakthrough during the fight, and the main meridians he cleared while he was in a life and death situation were thicker and sturdier than the main meridians Luo Hai had easily cleared in the cultivation room.
He did not have a lot of skills, but each of them was fatal. He was a fighting style where he wanted to die together with his opponent.
The two spirit flames clashed against each other, and sparks flew. Luo Hai's spirit flames crumbled the moment they came into contact with each other.
Luo Hai's expression did not change. Spirit tattoos appeared on his left arm and legs, and he displayed superhuman mobility. His body turned into an afterimage.
This was the difference between awakening sixty-one main meridians and awakening four main meridians.
Only Meng Chao's right arm received supernatural powers.
Luo Hai's arms, legs, and organs were all strengthened. His hands, feet, elbows, and knees could spit out spirit flames, and it was as if he had eight sharp sabers that could cut through metal as if they were mud. The dazzling attacks made Meng Chao unable to keep up with them, and he retreated.
But Meng Chao still danced in the shadows of the weapons and brushed past Luo Hai's attacks time and time again.
His hair was cut off a few times, and a thin layer of skin was scraped off, but Luo Hai never managed to lock onto his vitals.
Luo Hai's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat.
He noticed that even though only Meng Chao's right arm had been strengthened by spirit energy, his other limbs and organs had reached the limits of a physical body.
He was like the amalgamation of an Olympic champion in sprinting, weightlifting, and gymnastics. His control over his body and the explosive power of his muscles had reached perfection.
His fighting experience was like that of a veteran who had survived hundreds of battles. He could turn 120% of his strength into effective damage.
If neither of them used supernatural powers and fought against Meng Chao with just their physical bodies, even three of Luo Hai might not be able to win against one Meng Chao.
'Just how did this monster cultivate? If it weren't for the fact that his main meridians have withered, his cultivation realm might even be higher than my dad's in the future!' Luo Hai was shocked.
But he did not know that Meng Chao had used more than twenty thousand contribution points in one go to upgrade all his basic skills that could be upgraded, while he had plenty of medical resources.
A normal superhuman might not be able to digest the gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid that Meng Chao had absorbed for half a month.
If he did not use supernatural powers, Meng Chao would have a hard time finding an opponent among his peers.
Whoosh!
When Luo Hai remembered that he had awakened sixty-one main meridians but could not take down a broken-star superhuman who only had four main meridians, he felt a little anxious.
The five spirit tattoos on his left arm looked like raging aquatic dragons. As his fingers danced madly, a profound and complicated runic symbol appeared on his palm.
His burning palm, which was branded with the runic symbol, struck Meng Chao's chest.
Meng Chao coughed up a mouthful of blood, and it hit Luo Hai's face.
Luo Hai was shocked.
He was just sparring with Meng Chao. He did not want to injure the partner he had carefully chosen.
He did not expect that Meng Chao would suddenly be half a beat slower and be injured so badly.
Besides, the blood was pungent and spicy, so much so that he could not open his eyes.
At that moment, a powerful gust of wind came charging at his face. The killing intent was like needles that stabbed at his nerves.
Luo Hai reflexively formed a saber with his left hand and cut at Meng Chao's carotid artery.
Their movements came to a swift halt.
Luo Hai blinked. He could finally see the situation clearly through the blood.
Meng Chao's face was calm. He formed a strange gesture with his left hand and aimed two fingers at Luo Hai's eyes.
However, there were still three inches between his fingers and his eyeballs.
His left arm had not cleared the main meridians, so it was impossible for him to shoot spirit flames and blind Luo Hai's eyeballs.
Luo Hai's left hand had already placed Soul Breaking Saber on Meng Chao's shoulder. With just a light swipe, he would have the chance to slit Meng Chao's throat.
The victor was decided.
"I won."
Luo Hai released a long sigh. He did not even bother to wipe off his sweat. He asked in concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I had a lot of fun fighting today, and I'm becoming more and more interested in working together with you."
Meng Chao smiled faintly and swallowed the blood in a completely unbothered manner. "Thank you for your invitation today, and thank you for teaching me, Master Luo. I have something to do at home, so let's spar again when we're free!"
"Then, are you willing to join my squad?" Luo Hai asked anxiously.
Meng Chao was about to open the door when he heard that. "Did you win against me?"
He strode away.
Luo Hai was stunned for a long time. He could not understand it.
Meng Chao's fingers were still three inches away from his eyeball, and his spirit flames had already reached his neck. Did that not mean that he won?
He should not be someone who would refuse to admit to his mistakes.
After thinking about it for a long time, he could only brace himself and call his father.
"You lost."
Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu was silent for a while before he said faintly, "You lost."
"Why?!"
Luo Hai said in shock. "If this was a real fight, before his fingers touched my eyeball, my spirit flames would have definitely slit his throat. No matter how strong his willpower is, he could just dig out my eyeball. I won't die even if I lose an eyeball. If it was a fight to the death, I would definitely be the one standing in the end. I won!"
"It wasn't a finger," Luo Wu said.
"What?" Luo Hai was puzzled.
"If it was a real fight just now, he wouldn't have used a finger to poke your eyeball."
Luo Wu sighed and gave an explanation to his useless son. "What do you think is the best about Meng Chao? It's not Ripple Force or One Hundred Saber Techniques, but a gun technique! During the in-school test, he was a monster who left more than ten bullet holes in the Golden Target. Even in Construction High, how many people can achieve such terrifying gun techniques? "
"If it was a real fight today, do you think that he wouldn't have hidden a few guns on him?
"He intentionally took a hit from you just now so that he could cough up blood and confuse your vision. Then, during the moment you were stunned, he swiped his left hand across his waist and brought out a gun. The strange hand gesture you mentioned earlier wasn't to poke your eyeball with his finger, but to hold the gun and aim at your eyeball before pulling the trigger.
"If this was a real fight, before you could slit his throat with your hand, his bullet would have already pierced your eyeball and brain. You're just a one-star superhuman, and your spirit energy hasn't even reached your eyeball and brain, which are fragile parts. Even if it's a normal bullet, if it's aimed at your eyeball at a close distance, it can still blow up your head.
"Do you understand now, silly boy? You thought that you won? If we really fought, you would have died!
"You wanted to make him submit with this sort of performance? Heh … "
His words left Luo Hai dumbfounded.
He touched his eyeball with a trembling hand and watched Meng Chao disappear. He recalled every detail of the sparring just now, and a chill ran down his spine. Cold sweat had long since drenched his shirt.
