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 Kingâs 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.
âWhat do you suggest, Old Eagle? I guess we should listen to you!â
âHa ha ha! An old man like you wouldnât let us suffer, Eagle. You are fair and reasonable, so you will find a way for everyone to benefit!â
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, âYou are a reasonable man, Old Eagle! You shouldnât forget your identity!â
The Eagle King chuckled and said, âIf thatâs 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.â
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, âI always thought that you were rather reasonable. I never expected that you could be this treacherous!â
âYou are a reasonable man, Old Eagle. How could you become this greedy?â
âThis is a real disappointment!â
The Eagle King smiled, but didnât reply. Now, the entire situation is in my hands. You can talk all you want, but youâre just wasting your breath!
As he thought about it, the Eagle King pointed a finger at Luo Yunyang and proclaimed, âEveryone 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.â
The fat old manâs face twitched. The golden body fluid was the Sky High Militaryâs 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!
âNo complaints from me,â the officer in charge of the Royal Forest Military said before laughing faintly. âHe he⌠It wasnât our golden body fluid in the first place, anyway!â
This particular military leader didnât speak much normally, but this time his words delivered a sick burn. When the fat old man heard this, he felt like weeping.
The Royal Forest Military led the way, and the other military leaders parroted their approval. The golden body fluid wasnât theirs after all. If their own martialists had faced Luo Yunyang, they most likely wouldnât have succeeded. Why would they make things difficult for themselves?
âI 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!â the fat old man proclaimed loudly after muttering to himself for a bit.
âThatâs right, Luo Yunyang cannot participate. He has already accomplished his mission and then some, so he should get to rest.â The Royal Forest Militaryâs 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 Kingâs face. He was about to decline, when Chief Instructor Lu spoke up. âAlright, Iâd rather that everyone is happy together rather than alone. We accept these conditions!â
âAlright, itâs a deal!â the fat man said, glancing over at Luo Yunyang.
âWhy, Old Lu?â the Eagle King asked in a hushed voice as he walked quickly to Chief Instructor Luâs side.
âWe have already accomplished our mission and then some. Our new primary objective isnât 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!â
As Chief Instructor Lu spoke, he looked over at Luo Yunyangâs delicate features. He couldnât 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.
âHa ha ha! Is that the kidâs hobby? Good, very good⌠I like it!â
After the decision of the military leaders, Luo Yunyang turned from a participating elite martialist into a spectator on the viewing terrace.
He naturally couldnât 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.
âDamn it! That kid is actually really popular. That fox isnât someone to be trifled with either, though!â Xu Zhong shook his head gently as he watched Luo Yunyang and Ji Tian chat happily.
âHow did you get so fast, Luo Yunyang? Do you have a girlfriend? Just tell big sister⌠If you donât have one, how about I find you one from the Royal Forest Military?â
Luo Yunyangâs eyes twinkled as he faced Ji Tianâs 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 wouldnât 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. âHow was it?â
âI have obtained a B-grade source fluid, sir!â Although the young man replied respectfully, his face was alight with delight.
Although B-grade source fluid wasnât 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, âGood!â
B-grade source fluid, C-grade source fluid, D-grade source fluid⌠A continuous stream of martialists reported their own achievements to their superiors.
âYun Lei! What kind of source fluid did you get?â 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 Militaryâs Newcomer King, so their military leader was the most concerned about him.
âYou have to call the shots, sir. We originally obtained an A-grade source fluid, but it was snatched away by the Sky Highâs Seven Pillars.â Yun Lei hadnât opened his mouth. The person speaking was a girl standing next to him.
Yun Leiâs 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 didnât notice his angry glances, was laughing calmly.
