Strongest Hammer God - Chapter 803 - No Balls

The Fulfilled Crushers led Kyle to their headquarters, and the Head of the Wall Builders came out to greet him. Naturally, the Formation Elder stood right behind him as well.

“Greetings, Azure Comet,” the Head said respectfully.

Kyle nodded before looking at the headquarters. He could sense that some Formation Arrays were moving Energy through the headquarters, but he couldn’t perceive their actual location.

‘Whoever they hired is better than most Formation Array Masters in the Secondary Sector,’ Kyle thought.

“I’m here to offer my services,” Kyle said.

The Head smiled politely, while the Formation Elder looked with interest at Kyle.

“We are more than willing to accept your services,” the Head said before a bitter smile appeared on his face. “It’s just that we can’t offer a lot right now.”

‘Thought so,’ Kyle thought. ‘That one guy said that they have already hired one. Most likely, they’re still recovering from such a big purchase. Honestly, I might have just left since I need money desperately, but the Four Tigers Sect just had to be an ass.’

“There are ways to pay for services that don’t include Energy Stones,” Kyle said. “I’m willing to accept other things as well. As long as we can reach an agreement, we will both profit.”

The Head smiled. “Thank you, Azure Comet. I hope that you won’t mind if we make sure that you are truly who you claim to be. This involves the lives of my comrades, and I have to be certain that you are who you claim to be.”

Kyle nodded. “I understand.”

After Kyle made a couple of oaths, his identity as Azure Comet was confirmed, and the Wall Builders became excited.

THE Azure Comet! They were going to receive Formation Arrays from Azure Comet!

They were willing to make considerable concessions just to get his Formation Arrays.

“Activate your Formation Arrays,” Kyle said. “I want to test them.”

“Of course,” the Head said before ordering the Formation Elder to activate them.

The next moment, several Formation Arrays activated.

Space Compression, Space Expansion, Concealing, Barrier, Sensing, Containment Formation Arrays. Those six Formation Arrays were the standard set, which almost every Organization had.

However, there were a couple more Formation Arrays.

‘The Formation Array Master probably had Fire and Water Affinities, judging by the Energy exhibited,’ Kyle thought. ‘The biggest Formation Array can rapidly change the surrounding temperatures between extreme hot and extreme cold. This can cause quite a lot of damage to anyone in the area. The Barrier Formation Array also isn’t bad.’

‘Honestly, their Formation Arrays aren’t that bad. Sure, I could make better, but all in all, they’re good enough.’

“Your Formation Arrays are better than expected,” Kyle said. “They can unleash quite some power. Are you sure you want to pay me for my services?”

The Formation Elder sighed. “Yes, in terms of power, they are very strong. The person we’ve hired before has not lied about that aspect. It’s just that…”

“We can’t use them,” the Treasury Elder added. “Using them is too expensive.”

“How expensive?” Kyle asked.

“Using the Rapid Temperature Formation Array for one round consumes ten Grade Five Energy Stones,” he said.

Kyle raised a brow. “Ten Energy Stones to injure several Fulfilled Crushers isn’t that much.”

“One round,” the Formation Elder answered from the side. “One round means two temperature switches.”

Kyle’s brows rose.

The temperature would need to switch back and forth at least ten times to properly injure a Fulfilled Crusher.

“So, it’s one Grade Six Energy Stone to injure your attacker,” Kyle said.

“At least, yes,” the Formation Elder answered.

Kyle sighed. “What about the Space Compression Formation Array?”

“Five Grade Five Energy Stones to pull in a couple of Fulfilled Crushers,” the Formation Elder answered.

‘Bro, what?’ Kyle thought with a shake of his head. ‘My Space Compression Formation Array consumes one Grade Five Energy Stone at most, and only if you use it at full power.’

‘These Formation Arrays are all cock and no balls. They’re all just for show unless you’re drowning in money.’

“These Formation Arrays are strong but unusable,” Kyle said. “They are effective but not efficient. If you used a reasonable number of Energy Stones to run them, they would be even worse than average Formation Arrays.”

“Sir,” the Formation Elder asked, “how many Energy Stones would we need to run your Formation Arrays to achieve a similar effect?”

“The Mountain River Sect no longer exists, right?” Kyle asked.

The Formation Elder nodded.

“By my estimations, the Mountain River Sect most likely didn’t use more than 30 Grade Five Energy Stones during their first war,” Kyle answered.

The Formation Elder and Head looked at the Treasury Elder, who nodded. “We can afford that.”

The Head looked at Kyle with a smile. “We would be happy to employ your services. We just need to agree on a price.”

Kyle nodded. “I’m going to provide you with a full set and will teach your Formation Elder about how to use them. The material costs will come to about eight Grade Five Energy Stones. You have to provide the materials, which means these eight Grade Five Energy Stones are non-negotiable.”

The Treasury Elder nodded. “We’re willing to provide the materials.”

Kyle looked at the Head. “However, my services are not free. If you’re lacking liquid funds, I’m willing to accept other things.”

“What would you like, sir?” the Head asked.

“First, I will also offer my services to up to two of your neighbors,” Kyle said. “I understand that can be a problem, but I’m also willing to agree to share their identities with you and the other way around. If they decide to accept my services, they will know that I have provided you with a set of Formation Arrays, but you will also know that I have given them one.”

The Head took a deep breath with closed eyes.

This meant that two of their neighbors would become unassailable.

“We agree,” the Head said. “We have more than six neighbors. If we want to expand, we can simply go in another direction.”

Kyle nodded. “Second, I have been in seclusion for a while, and the Secondary Sector has changed. I would like a map and list of all territories, the Organizations that own them, and the power of these Organizations.”

“We can do that,” the Head said.

“Third, I want you to promise to be honest if anyone asks you about the origins of your Formation Arrays.”

The Head wasn’t the biggest fan of that requirement. The Formation Arrays would be most effective when they were still unknown. Sure, they could still keep them secret, but they would have to pay in Karmic Luck.

Sadly, beggars couldn’t be choosers.

“We agree,” the Head said.

“Finally,” Kyle said, “I want access to a private area near a Law Well for Gravity Fire or Gravity Wind for a thousand years. Your members can still go there to comprehend the Laws, but I don’t want to be disturbed. I do not want anyone to spy on me, and I don’t want any visitors. I also want you to keep my location secret.”

The Head furrowed his brows as he contacted his Head Elder. He wanted to know if that would be possible.

After some talking, the Head turned back to Kyle. “We have a Law Well for Gravity Fire, and we’re willing to give you access to it, but we can’t promise that you won’t be disturbed. However, you are allowed to create your own defenses and Formation Arrays near the Law Well to keep your privacy. We would just ask you to leave enough space for our members.”

Kyle nodded. “That’s acceptable. These are all of my conditions.”

The Head sighed in relief. He had expected to pay more.

“Then, we have come to an agreement,” the Head said.
