Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 730 - 375: Dumbfounded
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
Hu Jin took a quick look at the contract sent his way, promptly signing his name on it. Should Huang Jiu violate the agreement, he could wield the contract to bind her, ensuring nobody would dare trade with her anymore.
The palace hall stayed completely hushed until Huang Jiu and Hu Jin's discussion wrapped up entirely.
"Is it the commission from the warden of Celestial River Domain City?" A strikingly handsome middle-aged man, his physique gleaming like polished jade, couldn't resist inquiring of Huang Jiu.
The exchange between Huang Jiu and Hu Jin hadn't been hidden from the attendees, allowing everyone in the hall to catch every word. Their Holy Hall probes revealed that Hu Jin was likely one of Canglan Star's wardens.
For a star pirate such as Huang Jiu, connections with all sorts of figures—including Insect Race members—came as no shock. Though many races despised and opposed the Insect Race, the Imperial Country still traded with diverse groups.
Yet, it stunned them that a warden like Hu Jin would reach out to Huang Jiu for a capture mission, and even more astonishing was the emergence of a Half-step Divine Fusion Realm-level expert on Canglan Star unbeknownst to him.
"That’s right, it’s him." Huang Jiu grinned casually and remarked, "Sorry for the interruption earlier; what were we discussing before?"
"I wish to discuss a major business deal with you, Miss Huang Jiu." The strikingly handsome middle-aged man offered a warm smile and continued, "I’ll supply 200,000 tons of fourth-tier blood food, hoping Miss Huang Jiu can transport these little ones to Sacred Wood Star. With Miss Huang Jiu’s prowess, it should be easily done."
"Transport them to Sacred Wood Star?" Huang Jiu eyed the six Great Grandmasters around fifty years old and nodded, "That’s not a problem, but you really are willing to spend so much to save these six? Do they have such great potential?"
Sacred Wood Star, a second-class life planet governed by the Holy Hall, also served as Suihun's birthplace. Typically, 200,000 tons of fourth-tier blood food could purchase a slave rivaling an Insect Race legion commander—around thirtieth in rank among Prison Dragon Star's commanders.
These six individuals, all Great Grandmasters in the Realm of All Things, probably couldn't overcome even a Prison Dragon Star legion commander ranked near thirtieth.
On a second-class life planet like that, Grandmasters in the Realm of All Things at age fifty were commonplace—plenty even in their forties existed, marking them as genuine talents. At fifty, they showed solid aptitude, prime stock for Insect Race parasitism, yet far below cosmic true prodigies.
Within the Insect Race, elite bloodline geniuses shunned breeding planet products for hosts, favoring battlefield-captured elite talents instead. Only thus could they aspire to Divine Fusion Realm; failure still yielded peak Great Masters.
Breeding planet top-grade hosts suited only lower Insect Race strata, while middling ones picked at minimum warriors from mighty cosmic races.
"It depends on them." Suihun cast a look at his six present disciples, "The harsh conditions here on Canglan Star stifle them; only Sacred Wood Star will let their potential bloom fully."
He harbored no hopes of them reaching Divine Fusion Realm, given Sacred Wood Star's long drought without such a powerhouse.
Still, a single half-step Divine Fusion Realm breakthrough among them would immensely aid Canglan Star. After all, such experts were scarce even on Sacred Wood Star, tough for its geniuses to attain. Securing a role in Sacred Wood Star’s Holy Hall might convince it to claim Canglan Star, sparing it from Insect Race breeding doom.
At that instant, determination burned in every one of the six disciples, as if vowing to hit half-step Divine Fusion Realm—or even full Divine Fusion Realm—on Sacred Wood Star.
"Suit yourself." Huang Jiu replied nonchalantly, "Since we’ve faced dangers together, I’ll guarantee their safe delivery to Sacred Wood Star. But first, I must settle the Hu Jin affair, then return to fetch them."
"No problem. Once you deliver them to Sacred Wood Star, my companions there will naturally pay for the fourth-tier blood food." Suihun nodded.
Huang Jiu then departed the Holy Hall bunker in the restricted area, and over ten minutes passed before Suihun, seated high above, finally spoke once more.
"Yuanchen! The Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall Huang Jiu mentioned—is it the one your father spoke of?"
At Suihun’s prompt, a sharp-featured young human male among the six advanced.
The remaining five also fixed their eyes on this youth.
Tang Yuanchen!
Son of Sky Dome Shelter City Lord Tang Yilong, he’d entered the Holy Hall young thanks to stellar talent, eventually becoming Suihun's disciple as Holy Hall leader. Among the six, his power placed third, letting him duel an Insect Race legion commander evenly in the restricted area.
"It should be." Tang Yuanchen affirmed with a nod, "Father said in our latest talk that Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall boasts great strength, aiding the shelter in repelling Insect Race legions repeatedly. Now, four shelters—including Sky Dome Shelter—have allied with Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall."
