Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

He prepared to get up and leave.

Just then.

Su Yu's calm voice rang out again.

"but."

"Since Brother Chu is a member of the Divine Machine Battalion..."

"You must have quite a bit of intelligence on you, right?"

Chuhe paused.

She turned her head and looked at Su Yu.

"intelligence?"

Su Yu nodded slightly.

"I want to buy some intelligence."

"Regarding the whereabouts of advanced resources, or certain special artifacts."

He looked into Chu He's eyes, his tone calm, yet conveying an undeniable certainty.

"I can trade it for Originium."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Chu He's expression changed instantly.

He sat back down at his desk.

He looked Su Yu up and down.

A shrewd glint flashed in those fox-like eyes.

"Exchange it with Originium?"

Chu He's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Brother Su, you didn't even dare to accept a bet of 500 source stones just now."

"And now you're saying you want to buy my information with Originium?"

"Do you know how much the starting price is for high-level intelligence from the Divine Machine Battalion?"

Su Yu remained silent.

She just watched him quietly.

Chu He suppressed his smile and lowered his voice.

"Brother Su, you've been hiding your true feelings very well."

"It seems that the loan of two hundred source stones was just a smokescreen for you."

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged.

Everyone has their own secrets.

"Brother Chu, just name your price."

"As long as the intelligence is valuable, I can earn Originium."

Chu He remained silent for a moment.

Looking at Su Yu's calm face, he suddenly realized that he couldn't quite understand this mid-stage True Essence Commander.

a long time.

Chu He slightly flipped his wrist.

A jade slip emitting a faint jade-colored halo appeared in the palm of the hand.

He didn't hand it to Su Yu, but instead held it in his hand and played with it.

"Brother Su."

"I do have some intelligence here."

"Moreover, it's top secret."

Chu He's voice was kept extremely low.

"It records the patterns of appearance of various top-level ferocious beasts deep in the desolate wasteland."

"Several ancient sites that have not yet been fully explored have been documented."

"even……"

Chu He's gaze became more serious than ever before.

"There are also clues about the resources needed to break through to the Hongmeng Realm."

The Primordial Realm!

These three words were uttered.

Su Yu's pupils contracted by a fraction of a second, almost imperceptibly.

The primordial energy of the Great Wilderness.

The Great Wilderness, Formless Void Crystal.

The Primordial Blood of Chaos.

These are all the core elements for breaking through to the Primordial Realm!

Su Yu's heartbeat quickened slightly at that moment.

But outwardly, he remained deathly silent.

Name your price.

Su Yu calmly uttered two words.

Chu He shook his head.

He put the jade slip back into his sleeve.

"Brother Su, you've misunderstood."

"This information is not for sale."

Su Yu frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Chu He looked at Su Yu, and a sly smile appeared on his lips again.

"The intelligence on the Divine Machine Battalion is divided into two types."

"One type is sold to outsiders; anyone with Originium can buy it."

"The other type is internally shared."

"Only those who enter our circle and gain recognition can access the content free of charge."

Chu He leaned forward, staring intently into Su Yu's eyes.

"Brother Su, you are a smart man and a capable man."

I want to bring you into this circle.

"But every circle has its own rules."

"If you want to get this information, you have to demonstrate your value first."

"You need to show the others in the industry that you are qualified to be on equal footing with us."

Chu He stretched out a finger and pointed to the arena area in the distance.

"for example."

"Help me defeat Lei Wanjun."

It went around in circles.

We're back to square one.

Chu He is using intelligence as bait to force Su Yu to take action.

Su Yu sat down at the desk.

silence.

In his deep eyes, a faint, dark flame flickered.

He was weighing his options.

The risk of exposing part of one's strength.

The benefits of obtaining clues about resources in the Primordial Realm.

Which is more important?

If he doesn't know the whereabouts of the breakthrough materials, no matter how many source stones he has, his cultivation will be stuck at the peak of the Town Realm forever.

Intelligence is invaluable.

a long time.

Su Yu slowly raised his head.

Looking at Chuhe.

"it is good."

The voice was calm and even, without the slightest ripple.

I tried my best.

Chu He smiled.

She smiled extremely brightly.

With a flick of his wrist, a contract radiating the fluctuations of higher-dimensional laws landed steadily on the table.

"Words are no proof."

"Sign it."

"If you defeat Lei Wanjun, five hundred Origin Stones are yours."

"I will also hand over that intelligence with both hands."

Su Yu did not hesitate.

A drop of blood was forced from his fingertip and pressed onto the contract.

hum.

The contract transformed into a stream of light, splitting in two.

"very good."

Chu He stood up and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

"I look forward to Brother Su's performance on the ring."

After saying that, Chu He turned and left, his back view revealing a hint of smugness.

Su Yu remained seated.

He wore a plain robe and his expression was calm as still water.

Lei Wanjun.

Su Yu silently uttered the name in his heart.

How can I defeat him even though I'm a higher level opponent?

Su Yu fell into deep thought.

……

at the same time.

Xuanhuang Dao Court.

Deep within the Tianfeng Army's main camp lies a luxurious complex of buildings shrouded in layers of array formations.

Thunderstorm Camp.

The residence of the Tuoba family.

In a secret room.

The light was dim, and the air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.

In the center of the secret chamber sat a middle-aged man clad in heavy armor with lightning patterns.

His face was sinister, and he exuded an imposing aura even without anger.

Tuoba Shan is the current head of the Tuoba family and commander of the Thunderstorm Camp.

A peak expert at the Sea Opening Realm.

at this time.

In Tuoba Shan's hand, he was holding a communication jade slip.

A faint light flickered on the jade slip.

Below, kneeling on one knee was an elder of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Hai.

"Master of the family."

Tuoba Hai's voice trembled slightly, a tremor he could not hide.

"The news has been confirmed."

"Confirmed intelligence from the Yandao Pavilion."

"The newly appointed commander of that scout battalion, Su Yu."

"In actual combat, I fought General Qin Lengyue for eighteen moves using only physical skills."

"Not only did they not lose, they also forced General Qin into a desperate situation."

"In the end, General Qin was forced to violate the rules and use the laws of the Returning Void Realm to force him to retreat."

Dead silence.

The sealed room fell into a deathly silence.

Tuoba Shan's fingers, which were gripping the jade slip, tightened suddenly.

Click.

The incredibly hard jade slip for communication turned to dust at his fingertips.

"Pure physical skill was used to force Qin Lengyue to retreat?"

Tuoba Shan's voice seemed to emanate from the deepest hell, carrying a chilling aura.

"Qin Lengyue is at the Returning to the Void Realm."

"Even if her cultivation level is suppressed, her combat instincts and physical strength are definitely not something that a mid-stage True Formation cultivator can contend with."

"unless……"

A dangerous glint flashed in Tuoba Shan's eyes.

"This kid's physical body isn't even at the mid-stage of the True Formation realm!"

"His physical skills are enough to crush opponents of higher levels!"

Tuoba Hai swallowed hard, lowered his head, and dared not look the patriarch in the eye.

"Master of the family."

"You suspect...?"
