Chapter 723: Chapter 716 Man Li
The door to the chamber swung wide open, allowing slender breezes to waft in from the entrance and cascade over Chen Hai.
Even with, Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and a few others fixating their gaze on him, Chen Hai couldn’t help but feel a chill.
These fellows, suddenly paying him a visit to negotiate this matter, clearly had co prepared.
At first, Li Kuishan did nothing but complain bitterly. Then, Sun Tu spoke up, his eyes shadowy and his face bearing a trace of coldness.
One didn’t have to think too hard to realize that these two were playing good cop, bad cop; through their words, they clearly intended to put Chen Hai on the hot seat.
rely having to hand over a hundred rit points to Wu ng was truly not a big issue for Chen Hai.
The Star Stone mines worth ten rit points apiece – he could simply hand so over to Wu ng for the exchange of rit points, and his quota would be fulfilled. He could then continue his quest for tranquility for another year.
However, he was him, and the other team mbers were the other team mbers.
The quota handover task, which seed so simple to him, might prove quite challenging for Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and the rest.
These fellows had been scheming and plotting to earn rit points for over half a year. If not for their devastating losses and the small amount of rit they had managed to earn hardly eting the quota required for Captain Wu ng, they likely wouldn’t be coming to Chen Hai to negotiate this matter at all.
After all, between them, the new team mbers, and Chen Hai, an old-tir in the team, there had always been a certain distance.
In the past half year, as those people huddled together for warmth earning rit and disregarded him, staying confined to his room, Chen Hai had beco an invisible entity, marginalized within Team 7.
“You’re going to negotiate the contribution of rit points with Captain Wu. I can follow you there.”
“However, I won’t take the initiative in this matter. How you want to negotiate with Captain Wu is up to you to explain in detail.”
“Whether the rit points I owe Captain Wu will be reduced or not doesn’t make much difference to . Of course, if you can persuade Captain Wu to lower the number from a hundred rit points, I would certainly be happy with that!”
With a slight frown, Chen Hai pondered for a mont, then nodded, signaling his stance.
Li Kuishan and the others, after all, were mbers of the sa team.
Their desire to negotiate with Wu ng about reducing the rit point quota was tied to the common welfare of all team mbers.
Even though a reduction in the rit points he had to pay Wu ng wouldn’t an much to Chen Hai, he wasn’t about to let such a trifle cause discord and create rifts between him and the other team mbers.
Joining Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and the others on their visit to Captain Wu ng, he was there just for the sake of appearance; it wouldn’t take much of his ti.
“Since we proposed discussing the rit point handover quota with Captain Wu, naturally we would not expect you, Chen Hai, to lead the way.”
“Just co with us to Captain Wu, and as long as you don’t contradict us, all you need to do is back us up at the critical mont.”
“This matter concerns the common interests of us all. If we can really co to an agreent with Captain Wu, it will be beneficial and harmless to you as well, Chen Hai.”
“Why put off for another day what we can do today? Since you have no objections, let’s go to Captain Wu together now!”
Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and the others exchanged glances and nodded.
After a quick, mumbled discussion, Sun Tu spoke up to Chen Hai.
Having joined the Ninth Squadron’s Team 7 for more than half a year, but with limited interactions with them, they didn’t really understand what kind of person Chen Hai was.
Their unanimous decision was to have Captain Wu ng make a concession and lower the quota of rit points to be handed over.
They were unclear whether Chen Hai might deliberately contradict them to curry favor with Wu ng.
If such a situation arose, their negotiation with Wu ng about rit points was dood to fail.
Chen Hai’s current stance put their minds at ease sowhat. The reason for suggesting an imdiate visit to Wu ng was rely their fear of dragging things out.
“Are we going over to Captain Wu’s place now?” Chen Hai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
After Devouring Touch, the comprehension of his second Divine Skill was actually at a critical juncture.
Because of these distractions, abruptly interrupting the comprehension of the Divine Skills, to once again enter that strange and profound state was not impossible, but it would definitely take more ti.
“What’s the matter, Brother Chen?” Li Kuishan raised his eyebrows, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face as he countered.
“It’s not a big deal. Since you all are sincerely inviting, alright, I’ll accompany you to Captain Wu’s place for a visit!”
Though Li Kuishan’s tone was sowhat displeasing, Chen Hai didn’t take it to heart.
After considering for a mont, he nodded lightly in response.
To be honest, the sudden visit of Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and the others had already caused so disturbance to his comprehension of Divine Skills.
Among these people, only Li Kuishan and Sun Tu had stepped into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but when it ca to combat power, they were, if not at the very bottom among those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, not far from it.
With such strength, they naturally wouldn’t cause Chen Hai any fear.
The reason he compromised and agreed to go imdiately to team leader Wu ng’s place was simply because he didn’t want Li Kuishan and the others to keep harping on this issue and disrupt his normal cultivation.
Seeing that Chen Hai had agreed, Li Kuishan, Sun Tu, and the others nodded in satisfaction.
They got up one by one and walked out of the side room.
As for Chen Hai, he followed unhurriedly behind them, stepping out of the guest courtyard, and then headed in the direction of Wu ng’s residence.
…
In the mining area, the core territory of the Demon Palace, within a training ground.
Man Li, nine feet tall with a shiny bald head, exuded a fierce aura as he punched and kicked.
His movents were sluggish, as if an old man practicing Tai Chi, in stark contrast to his imposing appearance.
“The Path is the One, from the One cos the Two, from the Two cos the Three, and from the Three co all things!”
“From Wuji cos Tai Chi, Tai Chi brings forth Liangyi…”
“My strength is overbearing but lacking in softness, yearning for Path Enlightennt, hard! Hard! Hard!”
As he swung his punches and kicks sluggishly, Man Li also occasionally mumbled to himself.
Each punch and kick, seemingly light and devoid of strength, but these feeble attacks, when striking the air, caused the void to tremble, setting off ripples.
Finally, he stood still with his fists retracted, having finished a set of punches and kicks.
“Heh…” Exhaling loudly, a stream of visible white breath erupted from Man Li’s mouth.
The space before him seed unable to withstand the terrifying power within this breath, showing hair-thin cracks in the fabric of space where it passed.
Only after the white breath had completely dissipated, and several breaths later, did these cracks in the void slowly start to heal.
“Congratulations Hall Master, felicitations Hall Master!”
“With a casual strike capable of shaking the void, achieving Quasi-Saint is surely imminent for you, Hall Master, with your supre stature!”
Crisp applause sounded from Huang Dongming’s hands as he entered the training ground with a fawning smile.
Stopping a dozen steps away from Man Li, he bowed respectfully and sycophantically said.
