Round Ball complained helplessly.
It felt that it always lost to Wang Teng. Every time it wanted to stimulate him, it would receive a punch instead.
“Since any celestial-stage martial warrior can participate, this means that old people can join in too, right?” Wang Teng asked in surprise.
“In the universe, celestial-stage martial warriors a few hundred years old aren’t considered old. Also, some talents have their own considerations. Some want to build a strong foundation while others want to walk a different path… Either way, they have their own plans for not advancing to the cosmos stage.
“As for those that can’t advance even after reaching old age, it’s useless for them to go anyway. Their enlightenment is too low; they have no chance of winning,” Round Ball explained.
“I see.” Wang Teng nodded.
“You’re too young. If you cultivate for another ten years, I dare to say that you will be one of the top ten talents of the Great Qian Empire,” Round Ball said with pity.
“Another ten years? Top ten?” Wang Teng shook his head. He didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
If that were true, his bug would be useless. The system would slap him to death and change the host.
“I’m not lying. You’ll know once you start fighting with them,” Round Ball said.
“Alright, I’ll work hard to climb higher.” Wang Teng didn’t refute. He nodded seriously.
Some things couldn’t be explained. There was no point fighting over such a small matter.
“Heh, there are rewards for this competition too,” Wang Teng exclaimed in surprise as he saw the end of the notification.
“What’s strange about that? There will obviously be rewards since it’s a competition. If not, who would participate?”
“The top 1000 can get 300 billion to a trillion UC and there are weapons, battle armor, dans, and many more items to be won. How extravagant. Not only that, the top ten will have the right to enter the Uncharted.”
Wang Teng was stunned. As he read the message, he realized something. “What’s Uncharted? Is it a small world?”
“It’s not a small world, but it’s similar.” Round Ball shook its head. “The Uncharted is a natural hyperspace in the universe. It’s a special place and might possess numerous treasures. There might be unexpected gains too.
“Someone once received the origin of the universe from Uncharted and used it to advance to the cosmos stage. He became ten or more times more powerful than an ordinary cosmos-stage martial warrior. After that, he managed to reach the eternal stage smoothly.”
“The origin of the universe!” Wang Teng was stunned. He frowned and asked, “Isn’t that the power a universe-stage martial warrior grasps after reaching that stage?”
“You’re wrong. A universe-stage martial warrior grasps the power of the rule of the origin. It’s an enlightenment while the origin of the universe is an instantiation. It’s different.”
“Is it?” Wang Teng was in deep thought.
“So, Uncharted is the most precious reward. It will be great if you can get it. Unfortunately, getting into the top ten is too difficult!” Round Ball shook its head.
“How will you know without trying?” Wang Teng smiled. “A man can’t say he can’t do it.”
“You can give it a shot. I look forward to your performance.” Round Ball sniggered.
Wang Teng also smiled. He was already thinking about how to get more benefits out of the League Of Talents.
“The League Of Talents will commence in half a year. You should prepare for it.” Round Ball disappeared after it finished speaking.
Half a year? It looks like I need to raise my ability. It’ll be embarrassing if I lose terribly. Wang Teng felt a sense of urgency when he recalled how Round Ball described the participating talents.
Greater ability meant more attribute bubbles. He wouldn’t be able to get the bubbles if he wasn’t powerful enough. He would get trampled instead.
…
When Wang Teng received the news, all the celestial-stage martial warriors in the Great Qian Empire received it too.
The entire empire was excited!
The once-in-a-3000-year League Of Talents was back!
This was definitely a grand occasion for the Great Qian Empire. Numerous talents would start gathering, and the splendor of the occasion would surpass anything heretofore seen.
The rewards were attractive too. Besides the large pool of monetary rewards, there were all kinds of weapons and battle armor well-liked by everyone, much less the right to enter Uncharted.
Many people looked in the direction of a planet in the Great Qian Empire.
That was where the League Of Talents would be held—Battle Planet!
This was a giant, dangerous, and terrifying planet.
People from all over the universe received the message. Some were training on a primary planet, some were fighting with dark apparitions on the battlefield, some were within a small world, while some were traveling alone in the universe, measuring the universe with their feet…
