3170 The Elders’ Different Levels
Mr. Xu thought, “So what if she has an impressive aura? She’s not even a Spiritual Overlord yet.”
At that moment, Feng Wu turned to Mr. Lu. “If he loses, we won’t have to give him half of the all-purpose transformation liquid. Correct?”
Mr. Lu nodded. “That’s right.”
Feng Wu said, “You’re not good enough. Let me play against him.”
Mr. Xu frowned. “An educated man shouldn’t talk during a chess game.”
Feng Wu snapped at him. “I’m not a man. I’m a girl.”
Mr. Xu rubbed his temple. This girl was giving him a headache.
He decided not to argue with the girl.
Mr. Xu stared at Mr. Lu, hoping the latter could get rid of Feng Wu.
However, Mr. Lu didn’t know what to do either because Feng Wu was an expert at making trouble.
Mr. Lu said patiently, “Xiao Wu, we have to see the big picture. Don’t be so narrow-minded.”
Feng Wu smirked.
Mr. Lu said, “If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to give the liquid away. Do you think I like this decision?”
He tried to reason with her. “What do you think this fortress is for?”
Feng Wu crossed her arms and wouldn’t respond to that question.
Mr. Lu could only keep talking. “The Imperial College has 36 elders, and 25 are here in the fortress. Right?
“The Military Academy has 41 elders, and 25 are here.
“What about the Dongsang Kingdom? They also have 50 elders here at the border.
“Do you know why both sides can only have 50 elders?
“Do you know why the other elders aren’t here?
“That’s because the two sides have agreed to have an equal number of Spiritual Overlords here on the border.”
Mr. Lu said patiently, “Here’s the thing: The number is fixed, but the Spiritual Overlord stage has nine levels.”
Feng Wu snorted but didn’t answer.
Mr. Lu said, “If all our Spiritual Overlords can rise by one level, the force of the entire fortress will improve.”
That made sense, but Feng Wu didn’t like it.
“Let me ask you a question. They’re asking us to see the big picture. If it was the Military Academy who found the all-purpose transformation liquid, would they give it to us?” Feng Wu stared at the Military Academy.
Mr. Lu couldn’t answer that question, so he turned to Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu didn’t like the question, so he said coldly, “We wouldn’t keep it to ourselves.”
Feng Wu asked, “How much would you give Imperial College, then?”
Before Mr. Xu could answer, Feng Wu smirked. “You’re a schoolmaster. I have faith in your honesty.”
Mr. Lu rubbed his temple.
What an impressive girl.
When she said that, Mr. Xu had to tell the truth.
As expected, Mr. Xu said, “Of the 25 elders from the Military Academy, ten are junior Spiritual Overlords, ten are intermediate ones, four are senior ones, and one is a peak Spiritual Overlord.”
Feng Wu knew the peak one was Elder Dongfang.
Mr. Xu continued. “Imperial College has fifteen junior Spiritual Overlords, seven intermediate ones, two senior ones, and one peak Spiritual Overlord.”
Feng Wu frowned a little. Overall, Imperial College was inferior to the Military Academy. No wonder Elder Helian had to report to Mr. Lu when the all-purpose transformation liquid was discovered.
