"Over a hundred experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies?"
Upon hearing Shifeng's words, the reception room fell silent. Even Torre couldn't help but stare at Xiang Shifeng as if he wanted to see right through Shifeng.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
It was only a matter of time before Tier 3 experts fully unlocked their Mana Bodies, but experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies were incredibly rare even among the various superpowers.
In super-large-scale Team Dungeons, powerful secret lands, and Field Bosses, Tier 3 experts who hadn't fully unlocked their Mana Bodies wouldn't be able to defeat them. Only players with fully unlocked Mana Bodies could stand a chance against these monsters. Otherwise, these monsters could easily kill Tier 3 experts if they used their Mana Bodies to thin out the ambient Mana around them.
This was why the various superpowers had been frantically trying to unlock their Mana Bodies' full potential. That way, they could raid super-large-scale Team Dungeons and secret lands before other superpowers, claiming the first raid reward and widening the gap between themselves and the other superpowers.
However, a few experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies or a dozen or so experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies were meaningless when it came to super-large-scale Team Dungeons and powerful secret lands.
However, it was a different story if they had 100 experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies.
As long as they had a 100-man team, they'd have a chance of raiding these secret lands. This was especially true for Violet Sword's prized ancient secret land.
Meanwhile, Long Wushang, who stood outside the reception room, gaped in shock. He had never thought that Ling Yi would have such a frightening foundation.
They were talking about 100 experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies!
Even if Ling Yi didn't have much of a force on the western continent, no superpower would dare provoke him. If these 100 experts took action in the fields or caused a ruckus in Guild Towns and Cities, the various superpowers would have a hard time dealing with them.
"Of course. I wouldn't have come here otherwise," Shifeng said confidently, nodding.
Although Ling Yi only had 20 or so experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies, many of the Ling YI Society's Tier 3 Refinement Realm experts had already unlocked 85% of their Mana Bodies thanks to their training in the Demonwolf Mountain Range and the Lost Town. At most, they'd need another three days to form a 100-man team.
However, they wouldn't start raiding the ancient secret land right away. They still needed some time to prepare. After all, without special tools, the players inside wouldn't survive. By the time Ling Yi had the necessary tools, he'd have more or less 100 experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies.
Hence, he hadn't lied to Torre.
When Torre and the others heard Shifeng's confident tone, they fell silent.
"Instructor Torre, are we really going to agree to their demands? That's an ancient secret land we're talking about. It's most likely the only one in God's Domain. Instructor Torre, you should be aware of the leveling effects inside. Moreover, Hei Yan is asking for an exorbitant price. Mythology and we each control half of the entry slots to the ancient secret land. If we give Ling Yi 100 entry slots, we'll lose to Mythology in the future, "Wildfighter whispered as he looked at Torre.
There was a strict limit on the number of people who could enter the ancient secret land. Moreover, rather than calling it a secret land, it was more like an ancient city independent of God's Domain.
Only by defeating the Trial BOSS could players become ordinary citizens of the city and enjoy the various benefits that the city had to offer.
To take control of the ancient secret land, Violet Heaven had joined forces with Mythology and dispatched an army to seal off the entrance and exit. With each of them controlling half of the entry slots, other powers couldn't even dream of interfering.
However, despite paying such a high price, Violet Heaven had only secured 200 entry slots. Meanwhile, Ling Yi wanted half of the entry slots by dispatching 100 players to kill the Trial Bosses. No matter how one looked at it, this was a bargain. After all, they could raid the Trial Boss on their own in half a month's time. They didn't need Ling Yi's help at all.
Crimson Star, who stood beside Torre, couldn't agree more.
"President Hei Yan, your proposal is good, but your demands are too high. I can only grant you 10 entry slots at most," Torre said after some thought. After giving the matter some thought, he looked at Xiang Shifeng and said, "This is the limit of what Violet Sword can promise you. We can't grant you even one more entry slot. After all, with your help, we're only a few days ahead of schedule. Even without your help, we can still occupy the ancient secret land."
"You're right, but based on what I know, Violet Sword isn't the only power in control of the ancient secret land right now. There's a huge difference between being a step early and being a step late. I'm sure Instructor Torre is aware of this. Moreover, my request isn't just 100 entry slots. I want priority over the Trial Bosses' loot. I want priority over the Trial Bosses' loot," Shifeng said calmly, nodding.
When Long Wushang heard Shifeng's proposal, he was stupefied.
Was this how a partnership should be negotiated?
Violet Sword had clearly stated that it didn't matter whether or not they had Ling Yi. At most, they would be slightly slower in their progress. Yet, Violet Sword was actually eyeing the Trial Bosses. This was insane …
"That's right. We aren't the only Guild in control of the ancient secret land. However, you can't partner with another Guild. After all, Ling Yi has offended Mythology plenty of times," Wildfighter said, chuckling. "The only Guild Ling Yi can partner with is Violet Sword. We're already being generous by offering 10 entry slots. If you don't agree, you'll have to find another way."
Ling Yi's conflict with Mythology was nothing new.
If Mythology hadn't been the Guild occupying the ancient secret land, Violet Sword might've compromised. However, the other Guild occupying the ancient secret land was Mythology, a Guild that Ling Yi had offended multiple times. It was impossible for Violet Sword to partner with Mythology.
Wanting 100 entry slots and priority over the Trial Bosses' First Kills was simply a dream!
Wildfighter wasn't the only one laughing. Even Long Wushang, who stood outside the room, couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that Shifeng had truly lost his mind.
Ling Yi was very powerful on the eastern continent. Many superpowers had no choice but to submit to him and watch as Ling Yi monopolized the Dark World's benefits.
However, that was the eastern continent. On the western continent, even if Ling Yi had 100 experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies, he would, at most, cause some trouble for the various superpowers. He wouldn't even be able to harm Zero Wing's foundation. Let alone a veteran Super Guild like Violet Sword, Zero Wing couldn't even contend with ordinary superpowers.
Not to mention, Violet Sword held the absolute initiative in this situation.
"What if Ling Yi enters the ancient secret land himself?" Shifeng asked, chuckling.
"You'll enter the ancient secret land yourself?" Crimson Star could not help but smile at Shifeng's words. She then continued, "President Hei Yan, I don't mean to criticize you, but do you know how many forces our two Super Guilds have stationed at the entrance to the ancient secret land? Even if you had 1,000 experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies, you wouldn't be able to set foot inside the ancient secret land, let alone 100 experts with fully unlocked Mana Bodies. "
To protect the ancient secret land, Violet Sword and Violet Sword had paid a hefty price to construct a Guild City. Meanwhile, the secret land's entrance was located inside the city, and it was protected by the strongest defensive magic array in the game. If Violet Sword and Violet Sword couldn't shake the Guild City, they wouldn't be able to set foot inside the ancient secret land.
Long Wushang, who stood outside the door, agreed with Crimson Star's words. After all, he had visited the ancient secret land's Guild City once when Azure had dispatched Lifestyle players there. The defensive power of the Guild City definitely rivaled that of the various Super Guilds' main headquarters.
"Is that so?" Shifeng said calmly. "But what if he's here?"
After saying so, Shifeng took a Summon Guard Scroll from his bag and summoned Versailles.
