Chapter 923 The biggest scapegoat for the investment project has arrived!
Chapter 923 A Huge Injustice to the Investment Project. The Big Client is Here!
"Master, to be honest, I have the same idea! I can fully represent the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Clan!"
After thinking for a moment, Dai Huabin decided to follow Ning Tian's lead and put forward the same idea.
Born into the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he naturally had a high level of vision and could see that this soul-guided armor was very likely to become the mainstream soul-guided device in the future, and its status could even be compared with that of a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon.
Even if you can't join the research project, just providing funding will bring you great benefits in the future!
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Dai Huabin but did not answer. Although the Evil-Eyed White Tiger lineage was still quite far behind the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile lineage, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger was, strictly speaking, a special branch of the Star Luo royal family.
In the past history of the Star Luo Empire, the kings were mostly from the Dai family.
The Evil-Eyed White Tiger lineage also possesses top-tier connections and resources, as well as strategic-level rare metal mineral resources that the Seven Treasures Glazed Glass cannot access.
This time, Ye Nanxiao was truly giving this matter serious thought.
The Tang Clan currently relies on the Aodu Chamber of Commerce for most of its mineral resources, and also on Shrek Academy for a portion.
However, Shrek Academy itself has many soul tool research projects, and not many can be allocated to Tang Sect.
Moreover, the rare metal resources of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce itself have begun to decrease, and the mining volume of the mines it has purchased has gradually decreased. Half of the mines it has contracted need to be handed over to the Sun Moon Empire.
In addition, most of the Sun Moon Empire's mines were in Xu Tianran's hands.
We should plan ahead.
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao had considered it for so long, Ning Tian and Dai Huabin were also somewhat expectant.
The two have already stated the maximum authority they can guarantee; if Ye Nanxiao still doesn't agree, then there's nothing they can do.
The only option is for the clan chief to take action.
Ye Nanxiao turned to look at Bei Bei and Tang Ya, then said to the two in front of him, "I can agree to your funding request, but there's a condition: you only have the right to provide funds, enjoy the profits from soul tools, and be involved in internal testing. Beyond these three rights, you have at most the right to offer suggestions on soul tool research. You cannot directly or indirectly interfere with the research. Whether or not your suggestions are adopted is the decision of the project leader. Do you understand?"
Dai Huabin and Ning Tian nodded at the same time, as long as Ye Nanxiao agreed.
If other sects had adopted such a stance, they certainly wouldn't have agreed.
But Dai Huabin and Ning Tian believed that as long as they returned wearing this soul-guided armor, no one in the clan would have any objections!
Seeing that the two agreed readily, Ye Nanxiao took out two contracts from his storage ring and waved to Tang Ya and Bei Bei.
Tang Ya dragged Bei Bei, who was engrossed in the Soul Guidance Armor, over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Two big swindlers have arrived... major investment clients! Sign up, Sect Leader!" Ye Nanxiao gestured to Dai Huabin and Ning Tian.
Tang Ya took the contract, quickly found the signature area, signed her name, and then handed it to Dai Huabin and Ning Tian. She didn't even glance at the contents of the contract.
Dai Huabin and Ning Tian exchanged a glance, and both of them tacitly stated their names directly, while only glancing at the contents of the contract.
Ye Nanxiao's name is extremely well-known.
Although we didn't spend much time together, I never heard any negative comments about Ye Nanxiao.
Furthermore, since the Tang Sect could have kept the Soul Guidance Armor for themselves, but they gave it up anyway, they had even less objection.
Tang Ya put the signed contract into her storage ring and glanced at Dai Huabin and Ning Tian with some curiosity. She noticed that the signatures on the contract indicated the lineage of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
These two super families have actually become major clients of the Tang Clan.
As expected of the Vice Sect Master!
Tang Ya happily touched the storage ring, as if she were caressing some rare treasure.
Shrek Academy was only providing the order as a favor; strictly speaking, they were a major client, but they weren't affiliated with the Tang Sect.
Although the outside world treats the Tang Sect with great courtesy, they are all waiting for the honeymoon period between Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect to end.
Now that we have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Star Luo Dai Family, we'll have to give the Tang Clan a proper greeting from now on.
Dai Huabin and Ning Tianxing rushed back to the team, both with undisguised smiles on their faces.
This trip was incredibly profitable!
Dai Huabin patted his soul-guided armor, his heart filled with fighting spirit. This time, he would receive a great reward in front of Duke White Tiger, and Dai Yueheng would be extremely envious!
While Xie Huanyue and the others were still striking poses to highlight the sharpness of their Soul Guidance Armor, Dai Huabin, seeing this, felt itchy to join in and also started striking a pose.
A group of grown men eventually turned into a chaotic mob.
When Ning Tian returned to the girls' group, he saw Wu Feng, Zhu Lu, and the others with rosy cheeks.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just a little too perfect," Wu Feng said, her face flushed.
Soul-guided armor is designed to fit snugly against the body, with an error margin of only a finger's width.
Ning Tian patted himself and immediately understood what Wu Feng meant. It fit his body too well. However, Ye Nanxiao had just said that it was made based on the body data provided by the academy, not by his own eyes.
"It's alright, the data provided by the academy is definitely the most suitable for our battle!" Ning Tian explained, and immediately reached out to pat Wu Feng's head.
The two women's faces remained rosy, but they didn't say anything.
Zhu Lu patted her chest, thinking to herself, "Sister should talk to Master about the next collaboration."
Ye Nanxiao had no time to pay attention to the girls' little thoughts and urged everyone to quickly get used to the Soul Guidance Armor.
The conference room turned into a fighting arena.
Fortunately, Yan Shaozhe was there and used his profound cultivation to stabilize the conference room, preventing it from becoming ruins.
Everyone present was an elite among Soul Masters, and they quickly adapted to using the Soul Guidance Armor.
The rest are the matching soul tools.
"How can we test these? If it's just one shot, Lao Yan can handle it, but with so many people, his health isn't up to it," Ma Xiaotao said, hugging Ye Nanxiao, her voice still a little choked up.
Yan Shaozhe's face darkened. How could this girl talk nonsense here!
Indeed, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, a leaky cotton-padded jacket.
Ye Nanxiao coughed to hide the smile on his face.
He can't laugh at a time like this, or Lao Yan will beat him to a pulp!
"That's easy. The two teams will split up and form four smaller teams. Although the underground world of Mingdu is now under the control of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, there are still some places that are putting up a stubborn resistance. I'll let you experience what it's like to face the evil soul masters this time in advance," Ye Nanxiao said.
Most of the main force of the evil soul masters went to implement Xu Tianran's plan. The remaining few stayed in the underground world of the Ordinary Alliance. The highest cultivation level among them was only a Soul Douluo, making them perfect for practice.
Upon hearing this, the excited crowd immediately fell silent, knowing that the next task was very important.
After the semi-finals, there is a day of rest before the finals.
The Tang Clan team and the Shrek team were merely there to make a brief appearance and put on a show of fighting; no intense combat was required.
The latest novel is first published here!
So Ye Nanxiao and Yan Shaozhe discussed it and decided to let the two teams experience the battle against the evil soul masters in advance.
The Tang Sect team had already experienced the battle against the Surveillance Corps, while the newly formed Shrek team had not yet faced the brutality of the evil soul masters.
The evil soul masters who appeared in the Soul Master Competition were still conservative. Even when the four evil soul masters finally revealed their terrifying nature, they did not use many of the methods belonging to the Holy Spirit Cult.
In the upcoming breakout battle, they must understand the methods of the evil spirit masters; this cannot be fully grasped simply by looking at their healing abilities.
Warriors are never made in the classroom; they must be tested by blood and fire to become warriors.
Yan Shaozhe knew that Ye Nanxiao's purpose was to cultivate true warriors, so he chose to agree.
"We'll rest for two hours, then split into four teams and set off," Ye Nanxiao said.
Xu Sanshi and the others excitedly clenched their fists, eager to test the power of the soul-guided armor they were wearing.
Huo Yuhao immediately sat down cross-legged to adjust his internal energy, continuously circulating his Xuan Tian Gong to maintain his best condition.
Seeing this, everyone else also chose to wear armor and sit cross-legged to practice.
Only then did Ma Xiaotao open the Soul Guidance Armor in front of her.
Overall, it is not much different from other soul-guided armors, but it has two more sets of thrusters on its back, which is very suitable for her to carry out long-distance flying bombardment.
Jiang Nannan's soul-guided armor focuses on modifying the leg armor, with two rows of small thrusters on each leg.
"Will this armor hinder our spirit fusion?" Ma Xiaotao tapped the thickened armor on her chest and glanced at Ye Nanxiao.
"Probably not. Why don't you put on the armor and we try it out?" Ye Nanxiao hadn't thought about this question yet.
Ma Xiaotao quickly put on her soul-guided armor. The phoenix helmet with tiny wings and her red hair complemented each other, making her look like a valiant female warrior.
"Come here quickly." Ma Xiaotao reached out and hugged Ye Nanxiao, then spread her phoenix wings behind her to envelop Ye Nanxiao, turning him into a ball of blue light that merged into her body.
Ma Xiaotao was glowing, her face hidden in the white light, and her body began to grow.
Ice Flame Fire Girl is over two meters tall, while the Soul Guidance Armor that fits Ma Xiaotao is only 1.8 meters tall.
Although the Soul Guidance Armor used stretchable materials, it only grew a short distance along with the Ice Flame Fire Maiden before stopping.
Ma Xiaotao sensed that the extension of the Soul Guidance Armor had reached its limit, so she took the initiative to control the energy in her body, stopping her growth and keeping her height at around 1.9 meters.
The frost armor that Ye Nanxiao had conjured was attached to the soul guide armor, and even Ma Xiaotao's phoenix wings were adorned with frost armor.
Ma Xiaotao moved her hands and feet and found that apart from the soul guide armor being a little tight, it did not affect her movements or the flow of soul power.
"This armor isn't stretchy enough. The Fire Maiden's height can only stay at 1.9 meters. It's a bit too tight around the chest," the Fire Maiden said indifferently.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We'll make the most of our stock of metals with good ductility. We've divided all the metals we bought and melted them down into the mix," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
Rare metals with potential for expansion are strategic resources, and Xu Tianran has a firm grip on them.
He had found some with Xu Zhong earlier, but hadn't had time to send them to the lab for refining.
The Fire Girl patted her chest and said telepathically, "I told you not to rub it so hard usually, now it's gotten bigger."
Ye Nanxiao's frost armor form could observe the surroundings in 360 degrees, so he could naturally see the Fire Girl's facial expressions.
A seemingly indifferent, emotionless, and aloof older woman is driving!
"Ahem, let's talk about that when we get back. Let's test whether the casting of soul skills is affected first," Ye Nanxiao quickly interrupted.
"Hmph, speaking of which, how many days has it been since you last came to see Sister Xiaotao? This time you even cooperated with Lao Yan to keep it from Sister Xiaotao! I'll make you pay when we get back!" Ma Xiaotao said angrily.
Yan Shaozhe was admiring Ye Nanxiao's frost armor form when he suddenly saw the Ice Flame Woman turn her head and stare at him, her eyes flashing.
