Chapter 835: Foolish but Rich!
Yin Mei was not the only one. Feng Qingyang and the others were all staring at him in shock.
Huang Xiaoyu, Kalosi, and Sus, who had already formed their A Rank Earth Souls, all rolled their eyes.
‘So he gave us an A Rank Earth Soul but gave w.a.n.ke an S Rank Earth Soul? Something isn’t right with that. Did w.a.n.ke and the Captain have some under-the-table agreement?’
That was the thought that Huang Xiaoyu, Kalosi, and Sus had.
If Jiang Feng knew what they were thinking, he would probably teach them a serious lesson.
In truth, the S Rank Earth Soul that w.a.n.ke had formed had nothing to do with him.
All he did was guide him to form the Earth Soul. It was w.a.n.ke himself who elevated it into S Rank.
If it was just as he thought, that w.a.n.ke was the ancestor of all Buddhas, he would not be any worse than him in the future.
While his power was not exactly outstanding right now, once he had recalled all his memories as the true Tathagata, his power would instantly go off the charts.
Tathagata’s use of the Buddhistic Mantra and his expertise in Buddhism was unmatched across the universe.
“Stop guessing. The reason that he was able to form the S Rank Earth Soul is that he has much better potential,” Jiang Feng explained.
w.a.n.ke then stood up and took back all the lights. He clasped his hands together and gave a beaming smile. “Amitabha. Wonderful! How wonderful! I am quite powerful now!”
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes at w.a.n.ke and said, “Quit it. All of you need to familiarize yourself with the use of the Earth Soul. I will create a few tactics so that we can get our consecutive wins tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Next, w.a.n.ke, Sus, Kalosi, and Huang Xiaoyu called out their Earth Souls and began to play with them, familiarizing themselves with their Earth Souls.
…
Feng Qingyang and Yin Mei glanced at the group of four, and then went over to Jiang Feng.
Yin Mei said, “Captain, can you help us form a team? Since we can’t join the compet.i.tion, we’re going to try our luck with Secret Maps.”
Feng Qingyang nodded as well.
It was quite difficult for the two of them to get a breakthrough, so they were going to go to the Secret Maps and find a way to break through and see if they could get Secret Treasures.
There were two more Secret Maps that had appeared recently. Including the one that had yet been cleared, that meant that there were three Secret Maps.
As long as they had a team, they had the confidence to clear out all three Secret Maps with the resources they had.
Jiang Feng lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “I don’t know who to look for to join your team. Normal players are going to be useless, but I don’t know who are the elites that are still not part of a Squadron. Even if there are those who haven’t joined, I might not be able to ask them to join.”
Feng Qingyang then said, “I do have three candidates. All three of them didn’t join any Squadrons but it might be quite difficult to ask them to join us.”
Jiang Feng then asked, “Who?”
Feng Qingyang answered him, “The G.o.d of Sword Ximen Chuixue, the Lingxi Finger Lu Xiaofeng, and the Runemaster Lin Xiaotong.”
“If we have the candidates, then please lead me to them. I’ll do my best to recruit them.”
Since there were candidates, he wanted to try no matter what.
There were benefits for him if he were to build the second team for the Huaxia Squadron. At least he could get something from their efforts in going to the Secret Map. Not to mention that having another team meant additional help if something big were to happen later.
Feng Qingyang nodded and then used the Tianji Gateway to teleport to the Tianji Hall along with Jiang Feng and Yin Mei.
“Hm? Jiang Feng, I didn’t expect to see you so soon after we split up. Is this fate?”
Jiang Feng had just left the Tianji Hall when a melodic voice entered his ear.
He looked at the source of the voice and saw Rosa smiling at him.
“It’s just a coincidence. There aren’t so many fated meetings in this world,” Jiang Feng said as he rolled his eyes.
Rosa gave him a glare before asking, “Where are you going?”
“To find Ximen Chuixue.”
“Why are you looking for that icy person?”
“To form a Squadron.”
“I’d advise you to give up. Large number of people wanted him to join their Squadrons, but even then he didn’t agree to it.”
“I want to give it a try. Not to mention that when I entered the Xingyue Area, he was there too. It seemed that he also wanted to find a dependable Squadron.”
“Then, good luck.”
Rosa did not believe that Jiang Feng could get Ximen Chuixue into his Squadron.
Ximen Chuixue was extremely haughty, just like his sword.
All the five factions had invited him to join them, but he rejected them all. Even Rosa herself had tried to recruit him, and even now she had yet to give up.
That was why when Ximen Chuixue said that he wanted a Secret Treasure, Rosa did not hesitate to fulfill his wishes during the last Secret Treasure Tradeshow. She wanted to get to Ximen Chuixue’s good side so that she could recruit him.
Unfortunately, Ximen Chuixue still remained the same.
“Princess, look. Isn’t that Ximen Chuixue?” Xiaoju said as she pointed at a handsome man wearing white.
When Rosa saw Ximen Chuixue, and saw that they were walking toward them, she could only murmured in suspicion, “Where is he going? Killing monsters?”
The direction that Ximen Chuixue was also heading toward was the Tianji Hall. Rosa guessed that he wanted to use the Tianji Gateway to head into some monster areas to hunt monsters.
When Jiang Feng saw Ximen Chuixue, his eyes beamed.
Very quickly, Ximen Chuixue had reached Jiang Feng and Rosa. Jiang Feng was just about to say something when Ximen Chuixue immediately said to him before he even had the chance to speak, “Can I join your Squadron?”
“What?!”
Rosa and Xiaoju were instantly stunned. Ximen Chuixue, who had been rejecting everyone’s invitation, wanted to join the Huaxia Squadron willingly?
They were instantly bewildered.
No matter how good their offers were, Ximen Chuixue simply refused to join them, but Jiang Feng had not even spoken a word and he had already offered to join!
“Welcome!”
Jiang Feng accepted decisively and immediately walked toward Ximen Chuixue with his Squadron Badge in hand. He grabbed his finger, bit it, and then pressed it on the Squadron Badge. When the Squadron Badge was activated, he smiled.
“Shameless,” Rosa rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng.
“Hahaha! Senior Ximen! You have good eyes! Your future is bright?!” Jiang Feng began to flaunt.
In actuality, biting his finger was a bit too much. Ximen Chuixue had already agreed to it anyway and his action had crossed the line, but Ximen Chuixue still agreed to join them in the end.
Rosa looked at Jiang Feng boasting, and she found it quite annoying. She then turned to Ximen Chuixue and asked him unhappily, “Why did you join the Huaxia Squadron? Did he give you something?”
Ximen Chuixue shook his head and said, “Nothing for now. But maybe in the future.”
Rosa asked, “What do you mean?”
Feng Qingyang then explained, “The reason Ximen joined the Huaxia Squadron should be the same as mine. The thing that we are impressed with is Jiang Feng’s personality. If you can give everyone in your squadron a Secret Treasure and subsidize them when there isn’t enough Secret Treasures to split, plenty of people would want to join your Squadron too.”
Yin Mei also said with a smile, “Many people know that the captain is very generous, but which of you can help every member in your Squadron to form an A Rank Earth Soul? Which captain would simply give Rare Treasures to their teammates? That is our Captain’s magnanimity. How can you compare to any of that?”
“Don’t praise me like that. I’m feeling quite awkward now,” Jiang Feng said uncomfortably.
Yin Mei then glanced at Jiang Feng and said with a smile, “I’m not praising you. It’s rare to be able to find someone foolish but rich. I can take my share of the spoils without doing much work. If our conversation gets out, there would be a large group of players trying to join the Huaxia Squadron.”
“Hey, what do you mean by foolish but rich! Explain yourself!” Jiang Feng said as the edge of his lips twitched as he stared at Yin Mei speechlessly.
