Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 885 The Brother-in-Law Who Says One Thing but Does Another

"Alright, Luo Chen, stop scaring him. He's already in his twenties. He'll call me brother-in-law when he wants to."

Jiang Ming reached out and patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder, then took something out of his storage soul tool.

"Since it's our first meeting, I don't know what you like, so I'll just give you this."

Ling Xiao kept a cold face and had no intention of accepting Jiang Ming's gift.

But when Jiang Ming actually took the item out, his eyes involuntarily shifted to it.

What did Jiang Ming take out?
A sword!

The sword is wide and ice-blue all over, resembling a complete sword-shaped ice crystal. When sunlight shines down, it reflects dreamlike colors on the sword.

"This...this is...a flying sword-type soul tool introduced by Shrek Academy? The complexity of this core magic array...is this a level seven flying soul tool?!"

Ling Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief.

While the flying sword-shaped soul tool introduced by Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department is indeed less convenient than conventional wingspan flying soul tools in some aspects, this thing is cool!

Compared to wingspan-based soul tools, flying on a sword is clearly a much cooler way to fly!
In other words, wingspan-type flying soul tools allow soul masters to soar in the sky like birds, while flying sword-type flying soul tools give soul masters the feeling of controlling the sky!
Wingspan refers to the soul master being suspended by a soul tool.

Flying swords are used by Soul Masters to ride on Soul Guidance Devices!
The former is slightly easier to handle, but the latter provides a more intense sense of exhilaration!
Furthermore, flying on a sword is indeed much cooler than flying with wingspan.

This is also the promotional concept behind Mingle Chamber of Commerce's marketing of this type of flying sword soul tool.

The allure of soaring through the skies is immense. This is especially true for Soul Masters whose Martial Souls are not flight-type; the temptation of those four words is even greater!

This is why, even though flying sword-type soul tools are not much faster than wingspan-type flying soul tools, they are much more expensive, yet people still buy them.

Moreover, as this technology matures, Ming Le Chamber of Commerce even supports customized services.

Not just flying swords, flying knives, flying gourds, and flying discs. As long as you have enough gold soul coins, you can make all sorts of flying soul tools.

Of course, due to aerodynamic reasons, some forms of flying soul tools are indeed slower, but this can be solved by spending more money to inscribe a better core magic circle.

The ice sword-type flying soul tool that Jiang Ming took out was level seven, which was currently the highest-level flying soul tool sold by Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department.

After all, the highest-level flying soul tool on the market right now is only level eight!

In fact, the flying sword-type soul tools sold by Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department are all at level four, five, or six.

Due to the complexity of their manufacture, even the lowest level of flying soul tools is level four.

Level 5 flying soul tools are standard equipment provided by the academy to inner court disciples in their soul tool sets. Level 6 requires purchase, while Level 7 is basically custom-made.

Generally speaking, a level 7 soul tool costs close to or even more than a million gold soul coins!
Of course, the prices of different types of level 7 soul tools fluctuate greatly.

The price difference between a regular level 7 soul-guided ray and a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell can be one or two times.

The price of flying soul tools falls within this range.

Regardless of the circumstances, this ice sword-type flying soul tool is definitely worth a million gold soul coins, both in terms of its level and appearance!

Ling Xiao was clearly familiar with this type of flying soul tool; at first glance, he could determine the value of this ice sword flying soul tool. "It's probably worth over a million gold soul coins."

Ling Xiao swallowed hard.

He didn't want to accept Jiang Ming's gift, but it really touched his heart!

He himself had also played with this type of flying soul tool, but Xuanbing City was not like the capital. Even though the Mingle Chamber of Commerce had opened here, the flying soul tools they brought were only level four and five, and they didn't even have level six ones.

And his current cultivation level is already that of a Soul Emperor!

After trying out level four and level five flying soul tools, I felt a bit unsatisfied.

But level six and seven, let alone the fact that they're not available for sale, even if they were, the price would be exorbitant.
Even for the young sect master of the Xuanbing Sect, it wouldn't be easy for him to come up with hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold soul coins.

And most importantly, this ice sword is just too cool!
he wants!
"One million gold soul coins? That's about right. It's fine. It's our first meeting, so I'm happy. Here you go."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming threw the ice sword in his hand directly at Ling Xiao.

The action was as if he were throwing away something random and worthless.

Ling Xiao was so frightened that he quickly reached out his hands to catch it, afraid that the ice sword would break.

What Ling Xiao didn't know was that if this ice sword were put on the market, or even at an auction, it could be worth two million or even three million!

Because this ice sword was personally crafted by Jiang Ming, a level nine Soul Master!
A level 7 soul tool made by a level 9 soul master already commands a premium price. In addition, the materials used in this ice sword are top-notch among level 7 materials. This thing can almost be said to be custom-made by Jiang Ming for Ling Xiao.

"This thing was made using some of the ancient ice that has been frozen for ten thousand years, so it can't be broken if dropped."

Jiang Ming chuckled as he watched Ling Xiao frantically checking the ice sword.

Ling Xiao knew, of course, that a level seven soul tool couldn't be broken so easily, but the feeling was just irresistible!

"I-I don't want it!"

Ling Xiao suppressed his reluctance and handed the ice sword in his hand to Jiang Ming.

He would never be tempted by a mere cool, high-level ice sword-type flying soul tool that had captured his heart and made him yearn for it!
Regardless, he was still dissatisfied with Jiang Ming!
"Alright, stop being so tight-lipped. Just take what your brother-in-law gave you!"

Ling Luochen was quite helpless about her younger brother's hypocritical behavior.

"Do you know how to use this kind of flying soul tool? If you do, we can fly back directly."

She and Jiang Ming were powerful enough to fly freely, but Ling Xiao was only a Soul Emperor, and his martial soul was not a flying type.

"Yes, I can. Well, I'll use it for now. I'll take you back to the sect first, and I'll return it to you when I'm done!"

Ling Xiao said this with great principle.

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to start activating the flying sword.

As the ice sword levitated, he skillfully stepped onto it and activated the magic array on the flying sword.

Whoosh!
It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just one second!
