Implant Steel Armor

"Mr. Hao"

The warehouse manager wore a troubled expression.

Hao Yi frowned, "What is it? I just came to check last week, and that box of Grade Two Superior Steel Armor Implant was still there. Now it's gone?"

"It's not that..."

The manager was somewhat hesitant, "That box of Grade Two Superior Steel Armor Implant has already been reserved by Mr. Wang."

Hao Yi: "Mr. Wang, are you talking about Wang Qitai?"

"Yes."

The manager nodded cautiously.

Hao Yi sneered, "Since when could implants from the Military Academy be reserved? I wasn't aware."

The manager's body trembled, revealing a bitter smile, "Mr. Wang came here yesterday and specifically instructed me to prepare the Grade Two Superior Steel Armor Implant for thawing, as he would be coming to collect it today."

Hao Yi's face turned cold, and he said to Li Fei, "Give him the receipt."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei handed over the receipt for 360 yuan that he had paid for the implant.

The manager accepted it with a wry smile.

Hao Yi stared at him expressionlessly, "According to the rules of the Military Academy, as a Special Grade Instructor, I am entitled to use one implant below Grade Three every year. I still have my quota, and the implant I want is here. I've given you the receipt, so go and get it for me immediately!"

The manager was stunned by Hao Yi's imposing manner and didn't dare to say anything more. He turned around to retrieve the item.

A few minutes later, he walked over, holding a roughly one-meter-long wooden box with both hands, still emitting cold air.

"Mr. Hao, this is what you wanted. It has already been thawed."

"Mm."

Hao Yi gestured for Li Fei to take the wooden box, then said to the manager, "Make sure to register it. If Wang Qitai comes to ask, just tell him I took it."

"Yes."

"Let's go."

Hao Yi beckoned Li Fei to leave the warehouse.

Afterward, he took Li Fei back to the Medicinal Bath Room, took out a list, and asked Li Fei to go to the Materials Building to get the medicine.

Li Fei arrived at the Materials Building with the list, and the person in charge of dispensing the medicine told him that the price of the prescription was 78 yuan.

"Martial arts training is too expensive."

Li Fei sighed once again.

After paying, he returned to the Medicinal Bath Room with a large bag of medicine and saw that Hao Yi had already opened the wooden box containing the implant and was organizing the contents.

When he first heard the term 'Steel Armor,' Li Fei thought the box would contain pieces of scales from some kind of exotic beast. However, he now discovered that it contained a large pile of black powder, emitting a pungent odor.

Hao Yi was wearing gloves and putting the black powder into various containers of different sizes.

"Boil a pot of hot water. After the water boils, add each medicinal ingredient every five minutes in the order listed on the prescription."

Hao Yi instructed.

Li Fei immediately did as he was told.

A moment later, the water in the pot boiled.

Just as Li Fei was about to pour the medicinal ingredients into it, the door of the Medicinal Bath Room was suddenly knocked on.

Li Fei looked at Hao Yi, who nodded at him, so he went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was an old man with gloomy eyes, behind whom stood a tall woman with her long hair styled into a bun with a jade hairpin.

The old man didn't even look at Li Fei, striding into the room and immediately looking towards Hao Yi. Seeing that the black powder was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hao Yi, this implant is very important to me. If you want to rebuild the Core of Steel, I can find you Grade Three Superior Golden Scales. It's more compatible with your Dao Foundation Stage, there's no need to use this one."

The old man cut straight to the point, speaking quickly to Hao Yi.

Hao Yi looked at the other party with a strange expression: "Who told you I was going to rebuild my Dao Foundation?"

The old man was Wang Qitai, who had reserved the Tier 2 Superior Steel Armor Implant, and like Hao Yi, was also a Special Grade Instructor at Xing City Military Academy.

He was stunned when he heard this: "If you're not rebuilding your Dao Foundation, what do you need a Tier 2 Superior Steel Armor for?"

"My student needs it."

Hao Yi glanced at Li Fei.

"Him?"

Only then did Wang Qitai look at Li Fei, sizing him up seriously before sneering, "He's not even a Martial Warrior yet, using a Tier 2 Superior Steel Armor during the Embryo Nurturing Stage? Are you trying to kill him?"

"That's none of your business. You can leave now."

Hao Yi said expressionlessly.

Wang Qitai's face turned ugly: "Hao Yi, are you deliberately trying to oppose me?"

He was the most senior Special Grade Instructor at Xing City Military Academy, with extensive connections. Everyone, including the Military Academy Director, had to give him some face, except for Hao Yi.

Therefore, the relationship between the two had always been bad.

Hao Yi took a step forward, looking directly at the other party:

"I'm extracting the Implant according to the Military Academy's rules. If you have any objections, you can appeal to the Director."

"You!"

Wang Qitai was about to explode when he was suddenly stopped by the young woman behind him, "Grandpa, let me talk to Mr. Hao."

Wang Qitai looked at the woman, his expression softening a lot, and nodded.

The woman stepped forward and first bowed to Hao Yi: "Mr. Hao, my name is Wang Fengqing, a third-year student at Wu'an University. I just broke through to the Dao Foundation Stage and plan to construct the Martial Dao Foundation [Azure Radiance Exquisite]. This box of metal-attribute Tier 2 Superior Steel Armor Implant can increase my chances of successfully cultivating the [Azure Radiance Exquisite], so I implore Mr. Hao to let me have it. I am willing to use my authority to purchase Implants more suitable for the Embryo Nurturing Stage from Wu'an University to compensate your student. Or, if Mr. Hao has any other conditions, please feel free to mention them."

Her words were neither humble nor arrogant, and very sincere, which softened Hao Yi's expression a little.

"To break through to the Dao Foundation Stage as a third-year student, no wonder you dare to cultivate the [Azure Radiance Exquisite]."

His gaze towards Wang Fengqing contained some surprise.

"Hmph."

Wang Qitai behind her snorted softly, revealing a smug look.

But Hao Yi's words quickly made his face darken again: "My student will construct the Martial Dao Foundation [Primal Chaos Heavenly Gold] in the future. This box of metal-attribute Tier 2 Superior Steel Armor Implant is equally important to him, so I can't give it up."

Wang Qitai couldn't hold back any longer, pointing at Li Fei and saying:

"Ha? You say he wants to cultivate the [Primal Chaos Heavenly Gold]? If he had that kind of aptitude, would he still be here at the Military Academy as your student?!"

Hao Yi didn't give him any more pleasantries, directly and forcefully saying, "This is none of your business. I'll say it one last time, take your granddaughter and leave this place!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Li Fei, standing beside him, instinctively felt fear, like an ordinary person suddenly encountering a tiger on the road. This was the oppression brought about by the crushing of life levels! This was the first time he had felt an unusual power from his teacher.

Wang Qitai subconsciously took a step back, staring intently at Hao Yi, seemingly very wary of him.

After a long while, he turned to Li Fei and gave him a sinister smile:

"Boy, I advise you to first figure out what [Primal Chaos Heavenly Gold] is, or you won't even know when you die!"

After saying that, he turned and left in a fit of anger.

Wang Fengqing took a deep look at Li Fei before following her grandfather away.

After the two left, Li Fei said calmly, "Teacher, the water is boiled."
