God and Devil World

"Audacious, just because you have little capabilities, you dare to ask for our technology, encroaching on our bottom line. What a fool." Hearing Holy Maiden Hong Xia’s question back to Yue Zhong, Murong Wang swept him a gloating glance and sneered inwardly.

On planet Uros, where cultivation and technology went hand in hand, not only were the cultivators rampant in numbers, technology was likewise advanced. However, it was just that the most advanced technology were all kept in the control of the Saint Lands. The technology employed in the other cities were similar to that of Earth before its own apocalypse.

It was because the Saint Lands had monopolized the technology and cultivation techniques that they maintained their rule.

Murong Wang and the rest were clear that since these technologies were their lifelines, it was impossible for them to be spread out.

Zhang Xuan and Shao Hai Feng looked towards Yue Zhong and sneered as well, although they did not say anything.

Zhang Xuan was always on good terms with Yue Zhong, but after Hong Xia treated Yue Zhong differently, he was filled with a fury stemming from goodness knows where, and all he felt was animosity now.

Yue Zhong chuckled and flipped his hands, sending a document over to her, revealing his precise control over his energy, "What do you think about this? I feel that your Saint Lands truly need something like this."

She smiled and received the document, glancing through it with a carefree expression, when suddenly, her eyes narrowed and she revealed an expression of shock. She gripped the document tightly and her face changed multiple times, her gaze complicated.

The document in her hands was the technology of the enhancing armor that Yue Zhong obtained from the 3rd World, if they were to be utilized fully, they could push the might of a cultivator by almost an entire realm. It was truly powerful.

If a peak-Type 3 expert wore a Type 3 Enhanced Battle Armor, it could boost him or her to possessing a Type 4 strength. Although it could not compare to a true Type 4 expert, it was extremely helpful.

If a peak-Type 4 expert put on a Type 4 Enhanced Battle Armor, then he or she would reach the Type 5 realm.

These Enhanced Battle Armors were extremely useful equipment. With them, they could challenge enemies of a higher realm. To any faction, it was an important equipment.

Holy Maiden Hong Xia narrowed her gaze as she asked Yue Zhong, "Do you have any of these items with you right now?"

Yue Zhong laughed lightly and swept a glance at the slender Type 5 beauty beside him. He waved his hands and a Type 5 Enhanced Battle Armor flew out, landing beside her. "Your Highness, her strength is only at the initial Type 5 realm, thus, using this will only boost her to the peak of the Type 5 realm."

The armor was not all-powerful, directly raising the person’s realm. It could help a person at the peak of his strength to achieve a momentary breakthrough, but not someone who had just entered the Type 5 realm to jump straight into the Type 6 realm.

Holy Maiden Hong Xia nodded silently at the beauty and ordered, "Xiang Lan, try it."

"Yes!"

With a resolute reply, she began to put on the Type 5 Battle Armor.

The Type 5 nucleus behind the armor glowed brightly, as a huge energy traveled through Xiang Lan’s body, pushing her towards the peak-Type 5 realm.

Her strength began to radiate from her, shocking everybody present.

"That’s the strength of a peak Type 5 expert!! This armor is so miraculous?!"

Feeling the strength emitted by Xiang Lan, everyone’s face turned. They could see for themselves just what the armor did. If it was mass produced, they could easily groom and equip a powerful army.

Holy Maiden Hong Xia’s face was no different, her gaze showing her emotions as she looked at the armor. If she could obtain 10 Battle Armors, her Red Dawn Holy Palace would be able to produce 10 more Type 6 experts.

The difference between a Type 5 and Type 6 expert was vast, and it was tough for somebody at the peak of the Type 5 realm to achieve a breakthrough. Holy Maiden Hong Xia only had about 4 subordinates that had broken through to the Type 6 realm.

Yue Zhong laughed lightly and turned to Hong Xia, "How is it? You can return me the armor now."

The armor required the powering of a Type 5 nucleus, and if the armor landed in the hands of the Saint Lands, they would be able to reverse-engineer it. He had no choice but to be a little selfish right now.

Holy Maiden Hong Xia’s eyes flashed, and she started to speak with a coquettish tone towards Yue Zhong, "Yue Zhong, I really like this armor. Why don’t you gift one to me? I’m willing to dance privately, just for you."

"Damn it! In order to gain her favor, I’ve given her so many treasures. She has never treated me any different! Yet this bumpkin appeared and got her attention!! Damn it!! Damn him!! He was able to hoodwink her, I will kill him!!"

The moment Hong Xia spoke, Shao Hai Feng’s face turned steely, as his right hand crushed the crystal cup he was holding, his eyes practically shooting fire as he stared fixedly at Yue Zhong, his killing intent billowing.

Murong Wang and Zhang Xuan also had similar expressions, eyeing Yue Zhong with killing intent.

A beautiful woman could bring about calamities. Such a saying referred to women like Hong Xia. Based on her looks and charms, it was easy for many men to fall for her. Many would die and kill for her, and few could reject her requests.

Yue Zhong rejected without much hesitation, "I’m sorry, I’m not interested in dance. Holy Maiden Hong Xia, you’d better return the armor to me."

To Yue Zhong, the most important thing was to raise China’s strength. If he indulged in pleasure, China would fall easily.

Seeing Yue Zhong reject her so easily, Hong Xia’s face also fell. She had always been the one to reject men, and she had not seen one reject her for a very long time. She felt slightly uncomfortable.

She recovered, before speaking out, "Xiang Lan, return the armor to this petty man."

At this time, Shao Hai Feng barked out, "Wait!"

Yue Zhong frowned and shot him a glance.

Hai Feng pulled out a box and opened it, revealing a Type 5 nucleus that was shining brightly.

He shot Yue Zhong a condescending glance, full of arrogance as he uttered coldly, "This is a Type 5 Mutant Beast Nucleus, it came from the Frozen Beast. I can use it to exchange for your armor, that should do it, right?"

Every single Type 5 nucleus was extremely precious, and it was also difficult for Shao Hai Feng to kill one by himself. Even in the Saint Lands, they were considered a precious resource, not all Type 6 experts had an abundance of them.

If Yue Zhong had not defeated Wang Cheng in a single hit, he would not have taken out such a precious object to propose such an exchange.

Yue Zhong swept a gaze past him but still extended his hand towards Xiang Lan.

She could only take out the Enhanced Armor helplessly and returned it to Yue Zhong.

When he took it back, he opened up the energy compartment, retrieving the Type 5 nucleus behind as he shot Shao Hai Feng a condescending gaze, laughing coldly and sarcastically, "Palace Head Shao actually wants to use a Type 5 nucleus in exchange for my armor that makes use of Type 5 nuclei as energy, truly magnanimous eh?"

Shao Hai Feng saw the nucleus in Yue Zhong’s hands and felt as though he was given a tight slap. His entire face turned beetroot red, as he snorted coldly, and sat back in his seat, grabbing his table tightly. The force he exerted caused the edge of the table to be reduced to dust.

Yue Zhong eyed Hong Xia, "Your Highness, I think it’s perfectly fair to exchange my technology for yours. What do you think? Uros is already under the attack of those aliens, and their combat strength and reproduction ability are astonishing. Without advanced technology, our human race cannot compare to them. Let’s exchange our technology, it is beneficial for both of us."

He was eyeing the technology of the Saint Lands. If he could gain them, China would improve tremendously within a short time.

Holy Maiden Hong Xia hesitated a while, her jade-like fingers tapping her table for some time, before she finally spoke, "This is an important issue, let me consider it for a few days."

Yue Zhong frowned, "Your Highness, the aliens have already invaded, and the entire planet is under threat. If you continue to waste time considering, I’m afraid that it’s not too proper."

Holy Maiden Hong Xia laughed out gently, as she clapped her hands together, "Such a big matter, you still have to let me think through it. Tell you what, I’ll give you an answer tomorrow. Today, let’s enjoy ourselves a little."

16 beautiful women then walked out gracefully and began to dance.

Duanmu Bing Xue and the other musicians started to play their instruments as well, as an ethereal melody sounded out once more.

"It’s unlikely that they will deal, seems like I need to make some preparations of my own."

Yue Zhong glanced at the dancers, but his mind was somewhere else, making plans.

Before he had arrived, he had already prepared himself mentally. Had the other side agreed to the deal, it would be for the best. Everybody shared their technology and improved together. If they were not willing, he had a backup plan.
