Chapter 355 - 210: Zhenxing C Level Talent

Chapter 355: Chapter 210: Zhenxing C Level Talent

"We’ve received a message from headquarters and will be replacing your Soul Fighting Bracelet for you."

"Your Zhenxing Level C Soul Fighting Bracelet has more permissions than a standard C Level one and comes with additional benefits from the Wanyu Soul Fighting Company."

After one of the staff members finished speaking, another quickly added.

"Sir Zhong Yi, every C Level Talent receives a private Soul Fighting Room within the Soul Fighting Bar."

"As a Zhenxing C Level Talent, you will also receive a 2,000-square-meter reception hall."

"We were wondering if you would like to set up your Soul Fighting Room and private reception hall here, in our Soul Fighting Bar."

"Having had the honor of personally witnessing you become a Zhenxing C Level Talent, we are willing to offer an extra two points of Divine Origin Value per month as an additional hospitality fee."

The staff member beamed, looking at Zhong Yi with an expression that was both sincere and eager to please.

It gave Zhong Yi an immediate sense of the treatment a person who became a C Level Talent through the Ranking Competition could expect to receive on the Virtual Source Network.

Zhong Yi had previously seen the staff in this Soul Fighting Bar receive a regular C Level Talent.

These two staff members’ attitudes toward him were clearly far more enthusiastic than toward the other C Level Talent, Zhu Li.

In the Guardian Beast World, Zhong Yi was always called "Lord" because of his status as a Celestial Destiny Seeker.

Because of this, being called "Sir" on the Virtual Source Network didn’t make Zhong Yi feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

The private Soul Fighting Room, for example, was a benefit that the Wanyu Soul Fighting Company provided to ordinary C Level Talents.

This 2,000-square-meter reception hall, however, was likely an extra perk exclusive to Zhenxing C Level Talents.

The Soul Fighting Bars under the Wanyu Soul Fighting Company were in competition with each other.

The more talents a Soul Fighting Bar could attract, the better the benefits for its staff.

As a C Level Talent, one could freely choose to change their affiliated Soul Fighting Bar every year, and their Soul Fighting Room and reception hall would be moved along with them.

Although Zhong Yi had never been to other Soul Fighting Bars and hadn’t seen how they courted Zhenxing C Level Talents,

the extra two points per month for the hospitality fee was enough to show the sincerity of this Soul Fighting Bar’s staff.

Normally, a regular C Level Talent’s monthly hospitality fee was only one point of Divine Origin Value.

With an extra two points each month, Zhong Yi’s total was three times that of an ordinary C Level Talent.

"Alright. Go ahead and make the arrangements."

The three Soul Fighting Bar staff members were overjoyed to hear this.

Soul Fighting Bar number 685235486 had more C Level Talents than just Zhu Li, but until now, Zhong Yi was the only Zhenxing C Level Talent.

Every Zhenxing C Level Talent, as long as they didn’t meet an untimely end, had a chance to strive for the rank of B Level Talent.

According to data collected by the Wanyu Soul Fighting Company, the probability of a Zhenxing C Level Talent successfully reaching the B Level Talent rank was around fifteen percent.

This was already an extremely high probability!

Any B Level Talent would be recruited and cultivated as core talent by the major superpowers,

ultimately becoming pillars within these superpowers.

With Zhong Yi willing to register with this Soul Fighting Bar, each staff member would receive a bonus of at least ten extra points of Divine Origin Value per year.

A Soul Fighting Bar has three staff members, meaning a total bonus of thirty Divine Origin Value per year.

Providing Zhong Yi with an extra two points of Divine Origin Value for his monthly hospitality fee required the Soul Fighting Bar’s staff to pay for it themselves.

Although each person would only net an extra two points of Divine Origin Value per year after covering Zhong Yi’s hospitality fee,

a Zhenxing C Level Talent was like a Treasure Basin, attracting more C Level Talents to join this Soul Fighting Bar.

The three staff members had a clear division of labor. One went to set up Zhong Yi’s Soul Fighting Room, and another went to prepare his accompanying reception hall.

The last one went to receive the Zhenxing C Level Soul Fighting Bracelet that the Wanyu Soul Fighting Company was about to deliver for Zhong Yi.

Taya stared at Zhong Yi, dumbfounded, her eyes glazed over and her mouth hanging open.

It was as if she were seeing Zhong Yi for the first time.

Luke, on the other hand, was not surprised at all.

Because Luke had been Zhong Yi’s opponent in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

Zhong Yi’s multiple Guardian Beasts were perfectly suited for combat in a wilderness environment.

That female, human-shaped Guardian Beast who bore a strong resemblance to Zhong Yi was incredibly powerful.

The Guardian Beast capable of launching Spiritual Attacks still made Luke shudder with fear just thinking about it.

Luke himself had already passed the fourth Ranking Competition a year ago.

But at that time, Luke had barely managed to win the fourth Ranking Competition.

Having almost failed even the fourth Ranking Competition, Luke didn’t dare attempt the fifth Soul Fighting Ranking Competition.

But now, Luke’s Fallen Energy Race Bloodline had advanced two Tiers, and his Fallen Power Heart Aspect had become much stronger than before.

This made Luke want to attempt the fifth Ranking Competition.

Luke couldn’t guarantee he would defeat his opponent, but at least he wouldn’t lose too badly.

When facing opponents with only a single type of Energy, the Fallen Energy Race Bloodline allowed him to suppress them by controlling their internal Energy, even if they were stronger.

But if an opponent possessed more than three types of Energy, with no clear hierarchy among them,

then it would be difficult for Luke to use his Bloodline to deal effective damage.

Before, Taya had been completely forward and familiar with Zhong Yi.

But now, after finding out Zhong Yi had become a Zhenxing C Level Talent, Taya was incredibly nervous around him.

The handsome young man she had wanted to flirt with had transformed into the highest-status person Taya had ever met in all her years on the Virtual Human Network.

In contrast, Luke, who had been a bit reserved when he first saw Zhong Yi, spoke to him.

"They said your name is Zhong Yi. I’m Luke."

"Once they’ve finished setting up your reception hall, I’d like to talk with you in there."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi smiled and looked at Luke.

"Of course. We do need to have a proper talk. There’s a lot I want to say to you."

Hearing Zhong Yi’s words, Luke subconsciously recalled the sensation of Zhong Yi touching the black horn on his head back in the Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

This made Luke involuntarily take a small step back.

Luke knew very well that this wasn’t a suitable place to discuss the secrets between him and Zhong Yi.

Looking at the Soul Fighting Platform that Zhong Yi had just used, Luke felt a sudden urge to try it himself.

According to Luke’s usual personality, he would have just walked straight onto the Soul Fighting Platform.

But now, Luke couldn’t help but ask Zhong Yi.

"I’m about to do my fifth Ranking Competition too. Do you think I should do a Soul Fighting duel right now?"

Hearing this, Zhong Yi pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Your strength is quite good. Although your Bloodline means you only excel against certain opponents—which is your weakness—it is also precisely your strength."

"Go for it. By the time you finish your Soul Fighting duel, the reception hall will probably be ready."

"By the time you get to my reception hall, it’ll be the perfect time for them to start setting up yours."

Luke felt Zhong Yi’s praise and approval, which greatly boosted his confidence.

At the same time, a thought arose in him: he had to defeat his opponent and not disappoint the young man before him.

Once Luke stepped onto the Soul Fighting Platform, Taya noticed many people around them wanting to go up and talk to Zhong Yi.

Taya knew that if these people came over to talk to Zhong Yi, she would lose her chance to speak with him.

Taya stammered to Zhong Yi.

"I... I had no idea your talent was this incredible!"

"I... I..."

Hearing this, Zhong Yi couldn’t help but smile and say,

"When I first entered the Virtual Source Network, you were the first person I met."

"There’s no need to be so formal. Didn’t you say before that the Lion Heart Association is an organization where members help each other and share resources?"

"Would your Lion Heart Association be willing to sell its materials to outside factions or individuals?"
