Ninja Country, the shrine hall.

Zhumu Youndou changed into a new set of clothes, his previous ones having been destroyed by Wang Ye during their battle.

Wang Ye himself, however, was unscathed.

After all, both of Zhumu Youndou's attacks on Wang Ye had failed.

"Wang Ye, I've come."

Zhumu Youndou approached Wang Ye and bowed deeply to him, then knelt down in front of him.

In his eyes as he looked at Wang Ye, there was no longer any scorn, but rather a mix of respect for the strong.

Zhumu Youndou could see that if Wang Ye had used that move from the very beginning, he probably would have defeated him right at the start of the match.

In Zhumu Youndou's view, Wang Ye had only refrained from using his full power at the start to save him from losing face in front of so many people.

As a result, Zhumu Youndou was not only convinced, but also deeply grateful to Wang Ye.

What Zhumu Youndou didn't know, however, was that Wang Ye himself didn't realize that he could exhibit such powerful strength after using Ice Power.

Otherwise, Wang Ye would surely have used his Ice Power right from the start and defeated Zhumu Youndou outright.

Now, seeing the genuine respect Zhumu Youndou showed when facing him, Wang Ye felt somewhat moved.

If only Zhumu Youndou had been more respectful from the beginning, how nice that would have been.

He wouldn't have considered challenging Zhumu Youndou.

Now, Zhumu Youndou had lost face in front of so many people, and still had to approach Wang Ye respectfully to discuss the possibility of cooperating with Dragon Country.

Really... what a beating!

Subsequently, all negotiations for cooperation went smoothly.

Zhumu Youndou readily agreed to the cooperation between Dragon Country and Ninja Country.

After all, Zhumu Youndou had always intended to seek support from Dragon Country and to cling to its coattails.

It was just that Wang Ye, from the beginning, had not thought much of them and had taught those whom Zhumu Youndou sent a hard lesson.

"By the way,"

After finalizing their cooperation and just as Wang Ye was about to leave, Zhumu Youndou turned his gaze to Wang Ye and asked softly, "Wang Ye, I've heard that you've established a Martial University in Dragon Country, Yuncheng Martial Science University?"

There was a strong interest in Zhumu Youndou's eyes as he asked this question.

Although these Ninja Guys didn't perform well in many areas, they were quite good at learning from the strengths of others.

Instantly, Wang Ye knew that Zhumu Youndou wanted to send people to learn from their Dragon Country.

"Yes, your excellency means to send people to come study in our Dragon Country?" Wang Ye's voice carried a profound meaning as he spoke.

Learning is feasible.

But, if they want to come to Yuncheng Martial Science University to study, especially as they are Ninja Guys, then they will certainly have to pay a price.

Granted, Dragon Country and Ninja Country had just reached a cooperation agreement.

But cooperation is one thing.

Education is another.

Wang Ye would not allow anyone to conflate the two.

Although Zhumu Youndou hadn't shown respect for Wang Ye at first, he still understood some social etiquette.

Upon hearing the anomaly in Wang Ye's voice, Zhumu Youndou immediately understood the implications in Wang Ye's heart and cheerfully said to Wang Ye, "Don't worry, for the sake of promoting cooperation between our two nations, we from Ninja Country will provide Dragon Country with one ton of True Stone."

One ton!

Even Wang Ye couldn't help but gasp at the amount.

He hadn't expected Zhumu Youndou to be so generous.

This made Wang Ye ponder, though Ninja Country was small, perhaps they too had discovered ancient ruins given Zhumu Youndou's willingness to be so open-handed?

When could they seize the ancient ruins of Ninja Country and claim them for Dragon Country?

As these thoughts crossed Wang Ye's mind, he immediately shook his head.

How could he think like that?

After all, Dragon Country had just established a cooperative relationship with Ninja Country.

They were allies!

How could allies contemplate plundering from each other?

Wang Ye deeply chided himself for these unwarranted thoughts and promptly changed his perspective to—

Considering the strategic cooperation angle, temporarily appropriating Ninja Country's relics for Dragon Country's use, with an indefinite return date.

Right.

Wang Ye nodded in satisfaction.

This approach seemed much better.

Zhumu Youndou, unaware of Wang Ye's thoughts, thought him to be considering whether the conditions he had just offered were insufficient.

Zhumu Youndou knew that there must be numerous areas in which Dragon Country could teach Ninja Country.

Dragon Country was currently the most formidable in terms of strength in the whole world.

And with the resurgence of True Qi, Zhumu Youndou knew that it marked the dawn of a new era.

He had to seize this opportunity before it passed.

With this in mind, Zhumu Youndou tentatively said to Wang Ye, "How about allowing Dragon Country to study our Ninjutsu techniques?"

Wang Ye, just recovering from thinking about how to reasonably make use of Ninja Country and temporarily borrow their ancient relics, heard Zhumu Youndou propose this.

Wang Ye was slightly taken aback at first.

Soon after, he came to a realization.

He understood why the Ninja King had made such an offer.

A smile emerged on Wang Ye's face as he composedly smoothed over his surprise and stood up to shake hands with Zhumu Youndou, "Okay, then, let's toast to a happy collaboration between Dragon Country and Ninja Country."

Seeing Wang Ye's agreement, Zhumu Youndou also stood up, his eyes conveying utmost sincerity, "Here's to a happy cooperation between Ninja Country and Dragon Country."

Although Wang Ye was reluctant to dine on Ninja Country's fare, the two nations had just concluded their partnership discussions.

Even as a matter of saving face, Wang Ye had to stay and join Ninja Country for a meal.

And Zhumu Youndou, it seemed from the beginning, had deduced from Wang Ye's expression that he disliked Ninja Country's food, so this time in planning the meal, they had brought in chefs skilled in Dragon Country's cuisine to prepare a spread of dishes from Dragon Country.

While the taste wasn't as authentic as the real Dragon Country cuisine, it was still quite acceptable.

Wang Ye was once again filled with contemplation, realizing this was the benefit of having great power.
