Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 227 The Possibility of Recovery, Alliance of Forces!

"Hey! Senior Zhentian, why is your face red?"

Looking at Yuan Enzhentian, whose face was flushed and eyes were bloodshot, Na'er asked curiously.

"That's being energetic." Gu Yue rolled her eyes at Na'er, but there was something else she didn't say: that's being energetic with anger.

At this moment, Yuanen Zhentian seemed oblivious to the outside world, his mind filled only with the echoes of his granddaughter sweeping the square at Shrek Academy.

"Senior Zhentian, what are you thinking about?"

It wasn't until Jiang Xiu waved his hand in front of Yuanen Zhentian that Yuanen Zhentian came to his senses.

"Young friend Jiang, are you sure Ye Hui is earning her resources by doing tasks and working at Shrek Academy? Shrek Academy hasn't provided Ye Hui with any financial assistance?" Yuan Enzhentian steadied himself, but his voice still carried an barely suppressed anger.

Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "As far as I know, that's how it is. Otherwise, Yuanen wouldn't be unable to afford the cost of making the One-Word Battle Armor."

"Great! Great! Really great!" Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhentian shouted repeatedly, and a terrifying aura, as deep as an abyss and as deep as a prison, emanated from his body.

He had thought that his granddaughter could cultivate peacefully after entering Shrek Academy, but little did he know that things would turn out this way.

When he asked Shrek Academy to provide Yuanen Yehui with the resources she needed for cultivation, Shrek Academy readily agreed!
If Shrek Academy couldn't have done it, he could have simply refused and found another way to get the resources to Ye Hui. But after Shrek Academy agreed, this is how they acted!

Yuanen Yehui's life was already full of hardships, and now it's like this at Shrek Academy. You have to know that Yuanen Yehui was extremely young when she entered Shrek Academy.

The thought of his granddaughter not only being helpless but also having to earn cultivation resources on her own, working and earning money during the most precious period of her cultivation, filled him with heartache.

More than anything, he was angry at Shrek Academy for failing to keep its promise, and also felt guilty for not paying attention to Ye Hui.

Seeing Yuan Enzhentian's expression, Jiang Xiu's purple eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood something.

Perhaps Yuanen Zhentian entrusted Yuanen Yehui to Shrek Academy for training because of his trust in the academy. It wasn't until Yuanen Yehui was about to become a Title Douluo that Yuanen Zhentian started paying attention to her again. By then, Shrek Academy had already been destroyed, so all of this was forgotten.

However, because of Long Yeyue, Yuanen Zhentian has taken notice of it ahead of time.

"Tsk, Long Yeyue is truly resourceful!" Jiang Xiu thought to himself, silently giving Long Yeyue a thumbs up.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was an ally, an undercover agent sent by another faction to Shrek Academy.

If Long Yeyue can successfully win over the Yuanen family, she will be the biggest contributor!

Suddenly, Jiang Xiu realized that this Long Yeyue looked remarkably like a certain Chicken Leg Douluo from ten thousand years ago...

“Senior Zhentian, Yuanen is at Shrek Academy. If you want to know the details, you can go and ask Yuanen yourself.” Gu Yue said softly at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enzhentian's face twitched, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

In Yuan Enhui's heart, he is no longer a kind grandfather, but an enemy who imprisoned his father and murdered his mother.

What's more, he didn't even fulfill his duties as a grandfather. In order to motivate Yuanen Yehui to work hard in his cultivation, he even spoke ill of Yuanen Yehui when he left the family, threatening to imprison his father for life and remove his father's name from the family genealogy.

In a family, there is no more vicious humiliation than being expelled from the family genealogy.

Looking back now, he deserved to die!
"What's wrong, senior? Don't you love your granddaughter?" Na'er tilted her head and asked clearly.

"No! Let's not talk about this now." Yuan Enzhen suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart and shook his head.

However, it was clearly visible that the eyes of this Limit Douluo, who was close to the quasi-god realm, were slightly red, and his steady voice trembled slightly.

After a moment of silence, Yuanen Zhentian seemed to have made up his mind and slowly said, "Young friend Jiang, let's talk about what you just mentioned."

"If our original Titan family comes to help the Body Sect, how should the reward be calculated?"

After learning about Yuanen Yehui's current situation, he realized that the Yuanen family should not remain hidden from the world any longer; they must come out into the world!

He was the patriarch of a clan and also a grandfather. In the business deal proposed by Jiang Xiu, he seemed to see an opportunity to bring Yuanen Yehui back to the clan.

Over the years, he imprisoned Yuanen Tiandang and sent Yuanen Yehui away. Aside from letting Yuanen Yehui cultivate properly, wasn't it all to quell the resentment in the hearts of his people?

This has nothing to do with the strength of the family, but simply to ensure the cohesion of the family.

If he leads the Yuanen family to prosperity, then there will naturally be a possibility of welcoming Yuanen Yehui back to the clan.

Of course, he would pay a visit to Shrek Academy later to get a clear answer and clarify the matter of resources.

"My master is currently in seclusion, and we need to discuss the specifics further." Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed as he spoke thoughtfully before continuing earnestly:
"But I can guarantee that as long as the nobles help protect my sect, all Title Douluo-level experts will be able to wear three-word battle armor, and anyone at the Limit Douluo level will be able to transform their three-word battle armor into four-word battle armor."

Everything else is fake, grandiose, and empty; during this period, battle armor is the only thing that sells well and is highly valued.

Trading a few pieces of battle armor for the protection of a clan's powerful warriors is a sure-fire way to make money. Moreover, the Ant King, who would rather exhaust himself than let others suffer, is now a Saint-level craftsman; forging three-word battle armor is a piece of cake for him.

Furthermore, his involutionary nature continues to play out, and he is currently accumulating insights into forging techniques. Once he consults his teacher about the insights gained from master craftsmen, it is estimated that the Ant King will be able to further intensify his involution.

"This...this is so embarrassing." Hearing Jiang Xiu's assurance, Yuan Enzhen's eyes gleamed. He pretended to hesitate, but his hand was already outstretched to indicate his agreement.

"Snap!" Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and reached out to shake hands with Yuan Enzhentian.

The alliance between the two major powers has now been tentatively established.

"Senior Zhentian, could you tell me the strength of your noble family's experts? This would make it easier to forge battle armor," Jiang Xiu asked meaningfully.

“Hmm…” Yuan Enzhen pondered for a moment, “Our clan currently has a total of eight Title Douluo-level experts, four of whom are ordinary Title Douluos, three… two Super Douluos, and one Limit Douluo.”

"This doesn't seem right. That only makes seven people in total, but didn't you say there were eight Title Douluos?"

Na'er, who was proficient in arithmetic up to 100, counted on her fingers and immediately realized something was wrong.

There is clearly one person missing.

"Let's not talk about that. He's a cripple anyway, so let's not waste your resources, young friend Jiang," Yuan Enzhentian said calmly, but a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

"A useless person? Another fallen genius?" Na'er said knowingly.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he naturally knew who the person was. So he said softly, "Clan Chief Yuanen, why don't you tell me? Maybe there's a chance you can be cured."

“Very well, then I shall speak.” A hint of struggle flashed in his eyes, and Yuan Enzhen sighed, “This man is my eldest son, Yuan Entian, who is also Ye Hui’s father.”

"Yuan Entiandang has great talent. He broke through to the Soul Douluo realm at the age of twenty and continued to advance rapidly. He became a Title Douluo at the young age of twenty-five, and then, within five years, on his thirtieth birthday, he successfully broke through to the Super Douluo realm!"

"This is the first time in the entire history of our Yuanen family, which means that Tian Dang will definitely be able to surpass me in the future and reach the quasi-god realm of the peak of the Soul Master. I even thought of directly passing on my position to Yuanen Tian Dang at that time."

At this point, Yuan Enzhentian's emotions became noticeably more intense, and his expression showed more pride as a father.

"But after that great calamity, Yuan Entian was devastated and his foundation was even damaged. Now he has become a muddle-headed and useless person."

"Unless it's healed with the essence blood of a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape soul beast, the damage to the foundation is irreparable, but how is that possible..."

Yuan Enzhen shook his head slightly, his tone mocking.

"Haven't you heard that there's always a way out? Senior Zhentian, anything is possible," Jiang Xiu said with a smile, his eyes gleaming.

"Perhaps the Yuanen family will find a cure after they join forces with our Body Sect."

He knew very well that Yuan Entiandang had the potential to become a quasi-god, but was just missing an opportunity.

Yuan Enzhen laughed it off, taking it as Jiang Xiu's consolation. Could it be that the Original Body Sect still had a Titan Giant Ape of 100,000 years?

Hmm... this joke isn't funny.

"Alright, young friend Jiang, let's discuss the specific number of battle armors. I will definitely not be greedy. Our family only needs one three-word battle armor and three two-word battle armors each year. There is no rush for four-word battle armors."

"Of course, if the Body Sect encounters difficulties, our Yuanen family will do everything in our power to help!"

Yuan Enzhen looked at Jiang Xiu and said solemnly.

"Huh?!" Jiang Xiu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Because what Yuanen Zhentian wanted was far too little. Even hiring a Super Douluo on the market would cost more than that, not to mention the Yuanen family was an entire clan.

"This Yuanen Zhentian is quite a character!" Na'er nodded slightly, giving him a high evaluation.

"Looking ahead." Gu Yue commented in her heart as well.

The Yuanen family may seem glorious now, but after the foundation of Yuanen Tiandang was damaged, the next generation of the Yuanen family, except for Yuanen Yehui, has clearly begun to decline.

If one can cultivate a good relationship with Jiang Xiu, who has multiple identities, it would undoubtedly be a wise decision.

"No need for further words, my mind is made up." Seeing that Jiang Xiu was about to speak, Yuan Enzhen waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next room to draft a contract."

Seeing this, Jiang Xiu stopped insisting and walked out with Yuan Enzhentian.

"Hey, Gu Yue, don't you have a feeling that this Yuanen Zhentian isn't human?"

After the two walked away, Na'er nudged Gu Yue and said meaningfully.
