402: Minor requirements

Whale Country, Imperial Palace.

"Bang!" A memorial was slapped onto the table before him by a White-Haired Old Man, wearing an Imperial Robe and looking ancient.

The Eunuch and the official who submitted the memorial stood trembling, heads lowered.

"Resources, again asking for resources!" The White-Haired Old Man flicked his Imperial Robe sleeve, his eyes revealing a fierce glare: "Does the Third Prince not know what kind of grave danger our Whale Country's people are facing?! Ghost Visage is wantonly plundering the Souls of the people to forge the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner, Whale Country has reached a life-or-death moment, yet he's still asking me for resources for that broken Teleportation Array?!"

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is also thinking long-term. The other two countries have contributed to repairing the Teleportation Array. If we don't invest resources, I fear we will be kicked out by the other two countries regarding the Teleportation Array matter."

"Furthermore, according to the Third Prince's observation, traces of Outer Domain Demonic Devils have already appeared in the other two countries. The Third Prince speculates that in fifty to sixty years, Great Yong Continent will face a demonic devil calamity!"

"Repairing the Teleportation Array is the only retreat."

The official kneeling on the ground said haltingly, bracing himself.

"Scram! All of you, scram!" The Old Emperor shattered the table in front of him with a palm, looking at the scrambling official as if he wanted to devour him: "Whale Country is about to perish, and you're still thinking about things fifty to sixty years from now!"

...

Third Prince's Mansion.

Looking at the official who hadn't obtained resources from the Emperor, the Third Prince would have looked worried before.

But now.

He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Everyone, from now on, you don't need to annoy Father Emperor for these resources."

"Not asking Your Majesty for resources anymore?" Several officials were a bit confused: "Prince, but if we don't have resources provided by Your Majesty, we won't be able to offer a sufficient bargaining chip to satisfy the other two countries."

"They will definitely kick us out!"

"Offer a sufficient bargaining chip to satisfy the other two countries?" The Third Prince smiled: "The other two countries haven't invested much resources into repairing the Teleportation Array."

"But they each invested a Third-Rank Spirit Array Master!" The official below stated this fact that everyone knew.

Third-Rank Spirit Array Master.

Existences like this, the other two countries each produced one.

Their Whale Country didn't have one, so they could only compensate with resources.

When the Teleportation Array was repaired in the future, their Whale Country could also get a share.

If they didn't even provide resources now, what qualifications did they have to share the Teleportation Array with the other two countries?

"Third-Rank Spirit Array Master, who allowed those two countries to have them, but not our Whale Country?"

The Third Prince's tone was quite smug.

"Third-Rank Spirit Array Master?!" Hearing the Third Prince's words, the officials below breathed heavily: "Does our Whale Country also have a Third-Rank Spirit Array Master within its borders?!"

"Did Pavilion Master Jiang Changzhen of the Main Array Pavilion break through, or did Vice Pavilion Master Shen Shu cross the Peak of Second-Rank and step into Third-Rank?!"

"Su Brother, come out." The Third Prince looked behind the curtain, his tone respectful.

The next moment, a young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old appeared before everyone.

The moment they saw Su Yongchun, the officials below exchanged White Eyes.

And with the Third Prince's next sentence, these officials immediately bowed respectfully.

"This is Array Master Su, a Third-Rank Spirit Array Grandmaster. He can easily set up Third-Rank Spirit Arrays, and his attainments in Array Formation far surpass those of the Third-Rank Spirit Array Masters in the other two countries!"

"He's actually a Spirit Array Master! And a Third-Rank one!"

The people below widened their White Eyes.

In their minds, even if a child of this age could set up a First-Rank Spirit Array, it would be a huge shock to them.

How could they imagine that his level had already reached the level of the older generation on Great Yong Continent!

Moreover, Third-Rank Spirit Array Masters were the first echelon of Spirit Array Masters on Great Yong Continent!

"Greetings, Array Master Su!"

All of the Third Prince's subordinates immediately bowed to Su Yongchun.

Their hearts were also filled with intense excitement.

Since the Third Prince said so publicly, it meant that their Whale Country truly had a top-tier Spirit Array Master presiding.

Thus.

Regarding the Ancient Teleportation Array, their Whale Country was no longer an existence without a voice!

Su Yongchun understood the feelings of these people before him.

His appearance was like his country having nuclear weapons in his previous life.

Their backs straightened.

It was precisely because he understood the Third Prince's eagerness for a Third-Rank Spirit Array Master that Su Yongchun chose to reveal himself in that manner to meet him.

And after meeting the Prince not long ago, after a brief conversation, this Third Prince expressed that he could mobilize all the resources he could use to satisfy his needs.

Therefore.

Su Yongchun naturally proposed some conditions.

For example, now, the Third Prince looked at a portly Middle-aged man among the officials below, wearing a tall hat and having dark circles under his White Eyes.

"Stone Gu."

The Third Prince put his hands behind his back and slowly spoke.

"Prince, your official is here." In the crowd, the portly Middle-aged man with dark circles immediately stepped forward.

The Third Prince nodded slightly: "As the Minister Shi of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the number two figure in the Ministry of Military Affairs, you have free access to the major Martial Arts Pavilions in the Imperial City. You will take Array Master Su to visit them."

"Take Array Master Su to visit Martial Arts?" Minister Shi, Stone Gu, was full of questions: "Array Master Su, is he also interested in Martial Arts?"

"I want to see and study them." Su Yongchun answered without avoiding the question.

"This..." Stone Gu hesitated for a long time and looked at the Third Prince.

This actually didn't comply with the rules.

After all, the Martial Arts Pavilion, to a certain extent, was also the Foundation of a country, the accumulation of Whale Country over tens of thousands of years!

Even Spirit Lord Realm powerhouses had to follow the rules if they wanted to enter the pavilion to learn Martial Arts.

Although he thought so, Stone Gu didn't dare to say it out loud. He was afraid of annoying this Third-Rank Spirit Array Master.

The Third Prince seemed to see the hesitation of the guy before him and frowned: "Come with me!"

While speaking, the Third Prince looked at two other people in the crowd.

"The Stewards of the Array Department and Talisman Department, come together!"

As the words fell.

Two more people walked out from the crowd.

Seeing these two and the Minister Shi follow the Third Prince to the side room.

The seven or eight officials below exchanged White Eyes.

They glanced at Su Yongchun, who was still above, and didn't make any noise.

...

Side room.

The Third Prince closed the door.

Minister Shi said with a troubled face: "Prince, taking Array Master Su to learn the Martial Arts in the major Martial Arts Pavilions, this is breaking the rules."

"In the Imperial City, countless people are eyeing the excellent Martial Arts in the Martial Arts Pavilion."

"If Array Master Su can freely visit, browse, and learn, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others!"

Facing the Minister Shi's worried words, the Third Prince said angrily: "It's fortunate that this Prince called you over. If you had said such a thing in the hall just now, Array Master Su would definitely develop a rift with us!"

"But... this is the truth. Martial Arts is the Foundation of our Whale Country. Your subordinate can only at most take Array Master Su in and out of one or two Martial Arts Pavilions."

"Stupid!" The Third Prince flicked his sleeve, pointing at the trembling Stone Gu: "Array Master Su will only stay here for less than ten days before meeting with the Third-Rank Spirit Array Masters of the other two countries to jointly repair the Ancient Teleportation Array."

"In ten days, even if he spends all his time in the Martial Arts Pavilion, with Spiritual Martial Arts and even Divine Martial Arts placed before him, how many can he learn?!"

"This small request made by Array Master Su, do you intend to make it impossible for this Prince to satisfy him?"

"Short-sighted!"
