Zhao Haisheng was sent away for treatment and the Experts Alliance's test came to a close. According to the rules, the winner would enter the Experts Alliance's highest management. Lan Yue's face turned unnatural when he checked Li Mo's resources.
Short time in the Experts Alliance, low power. Li Mo's situation was rare.
"According to the rules, Shenjing's Li Mo will enter the alliance's highest management. As for what he does, it will be decided by the old chief and the new vice-chief!"
The capital's three clans took their leave. After clearing the area, the Experts Alliance's trade fair began.
The headquarters' trade fair was on a higher level than the branch's. Many rare materials Li Mo didn't think existed in the real world were displayed here.
"Phoenix blood jade, ambergris, triflare fruit, geocentric grass …"
Li Mo's eyes were dazzled, feeling he didn't have enough points.
"Memory metal!"
On the official stand, Li Mo saw a palm-sized, pitch-black piece of metal.
Memory metal was one of thousands of rare metals. It's property was that no matter how damaged it was, it would always recover.
It was one of the best and most precious materials for refining. Not just on Earth, but in the entire universe, it was a rare treasure.
"A million points …" Li Mo was shocked at the memory metal's price.
In terms of value, a million points was far from the true value of memory metal. But the problem was, Li Mo didn't have a million points right now.
Not to mention Li Mo, no one here could, not even Vice-chief Lan Yue.
This small piece of memory metal, a phoenix feather, and a meter-long serpent tooth were all sold for a million points. These three items were the most expensive items in the Experts Alliance headquarters, having been on sale for the past twenty years. Who knew how many people coveted them, but no one had been able to buy them all this time.
"There's no need to look. We can't afford it. Someone did the math. Even if we put all the points of the Experts Alliance together, we wouldn't be able to gather more than a million points. These three items are just for show."
"Yeah, what's the point?"
Li Mo looked at the memory metal in thought.
Li Mo wasn't the least bit interested in a phoenix feather that could release flames with a light flap. Because he knew it wasn't a true phoenix feather. In terms of quality, it couldn't compare to the Mystical Firebird he caught.
That dragon tooth was real, enough to make a great weapon or even a precious one. But what Li Mo wanted wasn't a magic weapon of that level.
Of the Experts Alliance's three items, the only one that caught Li Mo's eye was the memory metal.
A two-meter-tall man next to the memory metal asked, "Shenjing's Li Mo, do you want the memory metal?"
Li Mo's heart jumped, "Is there any other way besides points?"
"Yes, the second method is to rob."
"Ah?"
"As long as you have the strength to snatch the memory metal from the hands of the Four Great Mutants, this piece of memory metal will be yours. After you snatch it, you won't have to bear any responsibility, and the Alliance won't pursue the matter. Everything is legal."
Li Mo was stunned.
The man laughed, "But don't think it's that simple. Ever since chief gave us the task of protecting the three treasures, we've killed and crippled more than a hundred people."
"Zhuge Yong, Zhuge Meng, Zhuge Qiang, and Zhuge Zhuang, we Four Great Mutants are the descendants of the Three Kingdoms' Marquis Zhuge Liang. No one has ever been able to deal with our abilities!"
Zhuge Yong and Li Mo's conversation had someone worried.
"Zhuge Yong, you four brothers are just a little thick-skinned. What's so great about you?
I'm not here for anything else but these three treasures. All of you, step back. Handong Hai Starwen is going to snatch the three treasures!
The lanky Hai Xingwen stood before Zhuge Yong.
Zhuge Yong looked at Hai Xingwen and said, "Brothers, get ready."
Zhuge Yong held the three treasures in his hands. Zhuge Meng, Zhuge Qiang, and Zhuge Zhuang formed a triangle around Zhuge Yong.
An Eight Trigrams Diagram appeared beneath their feet, and the four of them were in the center of the diagram.
"I'm now a Level 4 Mutant. My water spells have been upgraded to ice spells. Brothers of the Zhuge Clan, today's battle will be different from before!"
"Watch me freeze a hundred meters!"
Starfish Wen roared and pushed out with both palms. Frost instantly spread outwards, but when the frost reached the area of the Eight Trigrams, it mysteriously disappeared.
"Hey!"
Hai Xingwen raged and kept on releasing ice.
The ice was endless, only to be absorbed by the Eight Trigrams Diagram.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, Hai Xingwen's face was drenched in sweat and his body was shaking. The ice was no longer in a frenzy, but in different thicknesses.
"No, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Hai Xingwen shouted.
"Too late!"
Zhuge Yong snorted.
Just as Hai Xingwen's ice broke, the Eight Trigrams Diagram released a torrent of ice, turning him into an ice sculpture.
The ice released by the Eight Trigrams Diagram was all that Hai Xingwen had released earlier. Now, it was all returned to him in an instant.
The Four Trigrams Diagram, capable of both offense and defense, was the reason why the four Zhuge brothers were undefeated.
"Amazing! Let me, Xixiang Bone Doctor, have a taste of Wuhou's strange formation!"
A skeleton with barely any flesh on its body jumped out. It was playing a bone flute in its mouth, and a swarm of poisonous insects swarmed toward the Zhuge brothers.
Regardless of whether they were flying or crawling, all the poisonous insects that entered the Eight Trigrams Diagram were circling in place, unable to move an inch.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz …"
Xixiang Bone Doctor released all the poisonous insects on his body, but still couldn't move an inch in the Eight Trigrams Diagram.
"Whoosh …"
Just as Xixiang Bone Doctor was about to turn and run, the poisonous insects he released all rebounded on him. The speed of the rebound was ten times faster than before.
Xixiang Bone Doctor didn't even have time to scream before he was devoured by the poisonous insects.
"If the reflected Four Trigrams Diagram was so easy to break, chief wouldn't have given the task of protecting the three treasures to the four Zhuge brothers."
"I remember the first year the Zhuge brothers held the treasures, more than twenty experts challenged them. But only three survived, didn't they?"
"The three treasures are great, but how can they compare to one's life?"
"That's right. Xixiang Bone Doctor and Handong Hai Xingwen. These two were early stage Level 4 experts. But in the end, what happened to them?"
"Let's go. It's boring to watch."
With Hanhai Xingwen and Xixiang Bone Doctor dead, no one else dared to challenge the four Zhuge brothers. The crowd began to disperse.
"Let me try."
Li Mo laughed as the four Zhuge brothers were about to withdraw the array.
"Alright, come. Life and death are decreed by fate. Little friend, the rebound from the Eight Trigrams Diagram is beyond our control. Be careful."
"Many thanks."
Li Mo chuckled. He was going to use brute force to break the array, but Zhuge Yong's words changed his mind.
These four brothers weren't bad people, so there was no need to hurt them.
"I'm coming!"
"After you."
When Li Mo started his challenge, the crowd had mostly dispersed. Many had no interest in him challenging the fourth level Eight Formations Diagram. Even Donghai Xingwen and Xixiang Bone Doctor were done for. What use was this lucky newbie in the first level?
Could it be that his luck could render the Four Pole Eight Formation Diagram ineffective?
Li Mo stepped into the Eight Trigrams Diagram, one step, two steps, three steps.
Nothing happened.
"Holy sh * t!" Someone cried out in surprise.
Li Mo walked to Zhuge Yong's side and grabbed the memory metal, then left the array.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. The four Zhuge brothers were dumbfounded.
