The Almighty Ring

was, from a certain point of view.

Nevertheless, it was all powerful since it was helpful to the society.
Even so, Zhao Ganming was never interested in the pill, yet he chose to talk about it since there was nothing to talk about.
His rival faction had already sent out two beautiful females who were the same age as he.
If he stayed quiet, it would be really hard to “pull” Jiang Fei to his side.

“Yes! It’s the product of my master.
He’d usually make these when he got bored of making other pills,” said Jiang Fei as he tried to place the attention on the “master” of his.

“I have a request for you.
I wish to acquire a few of those pills.
Naturally, I would not be taking them for free.
I am willing to give you this as an exchange,” said Zhao Ganming as he took out a small plate made of jade.

“This is…?”

“This is the Black Jade made by the Songshan Sect.
Anyone who comes into the Songshan Sect with this in hand would be treated as an honored guest.
This plate would serve as a payment for one unconditional request,” said Zhao Ganming, emphasizing on the word “unconditional”.

“This… This is too much, brother,” said Jiang Fei.
Even though Jiang Fei did not know much about Songshan Sect, having them fulfil an unconditional request should be a huge deal.

Jiang Fei knew the value of the health potion of, by the current term, Grand Restore Pill.
Han Tianyu had informed him that the pills would be useful in the normal world where fights and wounds would not have unnatural wounds.
Right now, the reason why Zhao Ganming was willing to hand over something to precious to Jiang Fei was just to please Jiang Fei to garner his favor.

It was his trump card.
His rival had used theirs and it would make sense to use his.
Yang Po might be cold and unsociable but Yang Qing was cute and all sunshine and rainbow.
Being the naive little boy Jiang Fei was, he might actually be reeled in by the Southern Faction.
The girls were… girls! And Zhao Ganming was nothing but an aging man.

He had to put out his greatest offer.
Or he would lose Jiang Fei.

“Hoho.
Brother Jiang Fei.
I will be frank.
Besides the pill, there is something that I needed for help with,” said Zhao Ganming.

“How may I be of service?” asked Jiang Fei, politely.
To be honest, Jiang Fei was very intrigued as well as interested in the Dark Jade.
Even though he had two scars on his arms that could summon Phoenix for help, he would not want to waste such a powerful deux ex machina anytime soon.

“Here is the situation.
The previous Martial Artist Alliance task was completed by Old Hai and the rest.
In the next month, it was our turn, the Songshan Sect to receive a task.
However, we could not send out young trainees at the moment.
There are other fighters but neither one of them could handle such a task.
That is why I am now asking you for help,” said Zhao Ganming with a weak smile.

“Hm… I will see what I can do,” said Jiang Fei, frowning.
The reason why Jiang Fei had agreed to help in the previous, aforementioned task was because of the nuclear power that was available.
If Jiang Fei was not in dire need of energy, he would not have even participated in the mission.

Han Tianyu had talked about the alliance before.
When there was a mission, the alliance would arrange the assignment of fighters.
It was a cycle, turn-based arrangement.
When the Japanese had come into the nuclear power plant, the alliance had assigned Old Hai to handle the situation.
Those Level 2 and Level 3 fighters who had participated were their own disciples.

In the next month, it would be Songshan Sect’s turn to receive a task.
When it was their time, the young fighters of Songshan Sect would be dispatched.

Normally, the task would only involve minor risks and threats.
The appearance of a Level 4 or Level 5 Metahuman was rare but there was still a probability.
If there was a prediction of either a Level 4 or Level 5 enemy being involved, the alliance would personally select powerful fighters to fight.

Right now, Zhao Ganming did not mean that his students were weak.
It was only an excuse to get Jiang Fei into the Songshan Sect, indirectly.
When everyone was good with each other, they might even be friends.
The excuse of not having enough members was only a lie.

Having to do a mission with the Songshan Sect was not really a bad thing.
It really depended on the outcome.
If there were benefits in doing so, Jiang Fei would not mind showing his face in the fight.
However, when there was nothing to be gained, why would he risk his life to get involved in a fight which he did not know of?
