993 Wild Ambitions (1/2)
”Brother Yun, do not fret. All the resources required will be collected by us, the General Commerce League.”
A sense of urgency seeped through Lang Fantian's jolly expression.
”As a matter of fact, we've gathered plenty of resources and the quality of those treasures is much higher than the last time… The focal point now, instead, is whether or not Brother Yun can bring us the Qi of vitality.”
”I really dare not guarantee this. The value of the Qi of vitality has exceeded my expectations, I –”
”Brother Yun! You must help us!”
Lang Fantian was now clearly desperate. ”Other gems are secondary, but the Qi of vitality is compulsory for Elder Li to recover his cultivation base… The future of the General Commerce League… depends on this.”
”Why is it so serious?” Yun Yang was surprised.
This was not the case that had been presented previously. Yun Yang had said that he was rather confident of obtaining another stream of the vital energy, but he had never said that it was certain. The situation now… were they not regarding him too highly? Or, were they forcing him to act upon their wishes?
”The General Commerce League… cough… After the higher-level management discussed among ourselves, we think that if both heralds could partner up and do battle, our odds of winning the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner will increase another twenty percent from the initial odds. Furthermore, they'll be our secret weapon, taking the enemy by surprise, so our chance of winning will be quite high…”
Lang Fantian spoke hesitantly, the meaning to his words ambiguous. However, smart as Yun Yang was, he understood it immediately.
The General Commerce League probably already possessed the faculties to compete for the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner and even had the confidence of up to fifty percent chance of winning. It was due to a lack of ace combat force that they dared not risk an attempt, thus taking a hiatus from it.
The episode at the Residence of Nine Supremes, however, had helped one of their ace forces to return to youth and they were hopeful to rejuvenate another as well! This would be adding two ace Supreme Saint experts to their fighting force at once!
The delightful surprise jolted the General Commerce League's higher-level management awake instantly. This was a God-given opportunity!
If the Heaven Sword and Earth Saber could recover their prime prowess before the banner match, the General Commerce League would have a boost in their overall combat force. The upper-class Celestial Luck Banner would no longer be a fifty-fifty chance, but a highly probable acquisition.
This was concerning the longevity of the General Commerce League. Since there was hope, why would they simply give up on it?
Therefore, the General Commerce League decided promptly – they had submitted their application and registered to compete for the upper-class Celestial Luck Banner. The decision was sudden, a spontaneous one.
It was also this unforeseen decision that caused Lang Fantian, the Vice Chief, to be caught at a loss, at sixes and sevens. The key to the entire situation… lay on Yun Yang.
Yun Yang's timely supply of the Qi of vitality had roused the General Commerce League's wild ambitions that had long been in hibernation. It was necessary that they obtain more of the energy during this point of time to recuperate Li Yixin, so that both Zhang and Li Elders could partner up in the battle as the league's ace forces.
Lang Fantian's trip this time was to execute the glorious mission of sustaining the General Commerce League's eternal operations. The pressure he felt was immense, an arduous challenge for him to tackle.
”Is it too late to say that I'm not actually confident and dare not, at all, to guarantee anything?” Yun Yang shook his head insistently as he emphasized his reluctance.
”We can enter the second time if we fail once, or thrice if we fail twice! Brother Yun mentioned that you were quite certain. Can't it work with more attempts?” Lang Fantian's gaze was fervent.
