Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 353 To Resurrect, Or Not To Resurrect ?

TL : GoldenLung

Lan Xuanyu observed calmly and didn’t interrupt him. Ying Luohong, as Qian Lei’s teacher, didn’t say anything, so what else could he say?

Old Shu sighed and said, “What I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your teacher. This is the conclusion that we old guys came to after discussing. Of course, this may not be worth the gain. After all, the price is not neglectable. Everything depends on your decision whether to proceed or not. I won’t force you.”

Qian Lei was also a little at a loss, looking at Ying Luohong as if asking for help.

Ying Luohong shook her head to him, and said: “I don’t know if you should wake up that little guy. But Old Shu can definitely make it recognize you as the master, there is no doubt in that aspect. Having the privilege to be stored in an Ivy of Life woven bag, according to the seniors from the Inner Court, the origin of this little guy should be very extraordinary. Maybe it will be a great help for you. But specifically how we are not sure. There is one point where your judgment was not completely accurate. It will be very strong in one direction, but this direction may also be something else, such as eating, maybe it is a particularly big stomach king, it’s not easy to say.”

Qian Lei said in a daze, “Then what if I don’t resurrect it? What does the academy plan to do?”

Ying Luohong said: “The price of resurrecting it is indeed not small. If you don’t want it, then the Academy can offer it to the Federation. If the Federation is willing to spend resources to resurrect it, it will be resurrected. Or it might very possibly be made into a sample specimen.”

“Specimen?” Qian Lei’s expression changed.

Old Shu said: “That’s right! Using it as a specimen is also very valuable for research. Think about it, it has such a strong life source. If we can uncover its mysteries and conduct a certain degree of research on its life source, it will still be of help for all life researchers. This is a field in which we are currently struggling, this is also part of the reason why I made a trip here.”

Qian Lei smiled bitterly: “Of course I want to resurrect it. This is a life we’re talking about after all! But, what should I do if I don’t have enough resources?”

Old Shu smiled, “Who said you don’t have it? Isn’t that a bag made from the roots of the Ivy of Life ? Although it is not a real Ivy of Life, it is still a rare good treasure if modified to a certain extent. For example, making it into a futon and cultivating on it will have the effect of prolonging one’s lifespan and store life energy at the same time. If it is used to store all kinds of Heaven and Earth treasures, not only will it prevent the medical effects of Heaven and Earth treasures to fade away, it would on the contrary continuously nourish them, so that its effect might grow even stronger. So after discussing with other people in the Inner Court, if you are willing to give this to the academy, the academy will take the responsibility of taking out the resources necessary for reviving this little guy, and it will be counted as your part of the exchange.”

Lan Xuanyu, who was standing next to him, suddenly flashed a look of understanding, Old Shu was actually waiting for Qian Lei.

The bag made of Ivy of Life, even if it was woven with only its roots, was probably very valuable.

Qian Lei looked in the middle of an internal struggle, and looked at Lan Xuanyu as if asking for help. Lan Xuanyu was about to speak, but he found out that his body couldn’t move nor could he speak. There seemed to be a special force adjusting his face. It squeezed his expression to make the corners of his mouth move slightly upwards, showing a smile, and then controlled his head to point hard towards Qian Lei.

Lan Xuanyu wanted to resist, but he felt as if his whole body was immersed in a hot spring. He couldn’t use any strength, and couldn’t resist at all.

Qian Lei’s trust in Lan Xuanyu was undoubtedly great. He smiled and nodded vigorously to himself, and immediately said without hesitation: “Okay, I agree.”

Old Shu immediately gave him a thumbs up, “Great, wise choice. Little Honghong, since your precious disciple has chosen, then I will go back and prepare. Tomorrow, tomorrow you will bring him to the Eternal Sky City, I will personally preside over the ceremony, resurrect that little thing for him and make it recognized as its master.”

Green light flashed, and Old Shu was already gone, disappearing without a trace.

Ying Luohong looked at Qian Lei in surprise, and then at Lan Xuanyu who was still nodding, with an incredule expression, “You, why did you agree? How can you agree?”

“Huh?” Qian Lei looked at the teacher dumbfounded, “Why can’t I agree? You didn’t try to stop me just now?”

Ying Luohong furiously said: “Nonsense, I am the Dean of the Outer Court of the academy. Although Old Shu was fooling you, it was also for the benefit of the academy. From the perspective of the academy, what can I say? But he exchanged it at such an unfair price. Can’t you recognize such obvious holes ? Even if you didn’t, Lan Xuanyu, what are you doing?”

Lan Xuanyu finally stopped nodding his head, and said miserably: “I, just now I couldn’t control myself. It was as if there was a special force controlling me into nodding. Fatty, you just got fooled! Old Shu even said it, a few black rank emblems as fees for his labour, and so many 10,000-year-old treasures. This means that we could have exchanged for so many good things with the Ivy of Life bag ! Or even more. Old Shu had come here in person, which highlighted the importance of the bag. As long as you didn’t agree, we could have gotten so many good things. There is no doubt about that.”

“I..., I...” Qian Lei had already understood by now, but, obviously, it was too late. He had already agreed just now, and there was no chance anymore of him going back on his words !

“I didn’t even have the time to properly wake up just now, and Elder Shu said that the little guy was so pitiful. I couldn’t bear it. Then you nodded...” Qian Lei felt for the first time what it meant to cry without tears, and he didn’t even think someone with the status of Old shu would fool him.

Ying Luohong had already sat down covering her forehead, and she didn’t know what to say. Old Shu’s conning was really amazing. The key was that she didn’t expect him to go as far as controlling Lan Xuanyu. This was too...

No wonder he had no friends in the Inner Court, and only the Life School listened to him.

“Teacher, teacher, what should I do now?” Qian Lei said in a wronged tone.

“Get lost. Don’t let me see you again today. I will go to Eternal Sky City tomorrow. You have already agreed. What else can I do?” Ying Luohong grabbed him, walked outside the door and threw him out.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t need to say anything, and quickly ran out after him.

With a “bang”, the door closed, leaving two brothers in difficulty looking at each other.

“Boss, I, I’m in so much pain!” Qian Lei wailed, “Aaaaaaaah! The opportunity to make a fortune was right in front of me, and I missed it. I’m so miserable!”

“Enough, it’s already become like this, what’s the use of feeling pain now. We nearly got it for free anyway, don’t think about it so much. Moreover, although Old Shu was fooling you, he probably wasn’t talking nonsense in what he said. That little ape should really have very strong life fluctuations, so it will be good for you once it will have woken up. And, didn’t Old Shu say that you should go to Eternal Sky City? This incident is obviously a loss for you. If you go tomorrow, just pretend to be a little more pitiful, as if you didn’t have any love for this life anymore, you should still try to get some benefits out of this. I believe Old Shu will not refuse to give you some.”

Qian Lei couldn’t hear anything at this moment, black rank emblems! Black emblems just slipped past him. He really had no more love for this life !

It was almost time for class, they didn’t even have time to eat breakfast, and hurried to the classroom.

“Big brother Xuanyu.” As soon as he entered the classroom, Lan Xuanyu heard a familiar voice calling himself. Wasn’t that Yuanen Huihui ?

Yuanen huihui seemed to have grown taller compared to before, otherwise nothing else had changed. Only his eyes of different colors seemed to have become clearer and deeper.

As soon as Yuanen Huihui saw Lan Xuanyu, he rushed forward. Lan Xuanyu only felt that something blurred and then the next moment, he was hugged by Yuanen Huihui.
