“Taking the crown prince aside, the other talents from the eight dukedoms and the princes are exceptional martial warriors. Ordinary fighters can’t compare.” One of the people present sighed. “This League of Talents will be a fierce one.”
“I thought that Wang Teng could shine even among all those participants, but I never expected them to be as powerful,” Old Han said.
“I wonder how far up he can rise,” Wu Xingyun said worriedly.
Wu Xingyun and the others were greatly shocked; you could imagine the younger one’s reactions. They had never seen such talents before.
At first they felt that they themselves were strong enough, only lagging behind due to a weaker foundation.
However, they realized how naive they were to think that, once they saw the crown prince and the swath of experts from the empire and the eight bit families.
Even if those talents of the universe had similar backgrounds, they too were outstanding too.
However, that didn’t mean that the youths on the earth were weak. They could eventually become as powerful as the princes if they matured fully.
However, that was yet to be seen.
…
Back on the celestial-ranked mercenary ship—both the celestial and the planetary warriors were holding their breaths when they saw the crown prince appear. All of them were filled with admiration.
It was the mercenary team from the Universe Mercenaries Alliance: the Battle Hearth Mercenaries!
Their ranking was somewhere behind the Black Leaf Mercenaries. The latter team was within the top three hundred, while the former were only within the top eight hundred. The difference was drastic.
In fact, only a small detachment of the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team was making the trip, which made them unnoticeable.
“The crown prince! I wish I could see him in person,” someone said with longing.
“Don’t even think about it. Penniless people with no background like us can’t even enter the audience area.” Xue Fei shook his head.
“Why not do a few more missions and raise your own abilities instead of thinking about these useless things?” said a third celestial stage warrior.
The latter had a hideous blade scar on his face. He loved reprimanding people; all the newbies feared him.
“Hahaha, Du Wa, you’re always like this. Come on, everyone is watching the League of Talents. Let them talk freely.” Xue Fei laughed.
Du Wa shrugged. He knew it was unrealistic to ask them to focus on their mission at the moment, so he dropped the subject.
“Anyway, that universe behemoth is amazing. As expected of the crown prince; he can even tame a creature of that level,” said a planetary warrior with sparkling eyes, ” I think that beast is called… Golden Wing Crimson Celestial Tiger! Gee, even the name sounds ferocious!”
“A universe behemoth? That’s my first time seeing one,” someone commented.
“You’re not the only one. It’s a first for me too,” Xue Fei said.
“Chuhan.” Isah didn’t take part in the discussion. His gaze landed on the beautiful lady wearing the white battle armor. A hint of confusion flashed past his eyes as he asked, “What are you looking at?”
Lin Chuhan didn’t meet his eyes. She kept staring at the screen, afraid of missing a single second.
Isah’s expression froze.
Xue Fei and Du Wa exchanged glances laced with disdain.
“Hahaha, Chuhan, I didn’t know you liked the League of Talents this much.” Isah squeezed out a smile and laughed it out awkwardly.
The young lady remained the same, raptly observing the screen.
Isah: …
…
Not long after the crown prince arrived—two inconspicuous universe-rank ships reached the area outside the Battle Planet.
The vessels weren’t as eye-catching as the ships used by the big families and the princes.
Situ Wan’er and Wang Teng stopped chatting.
The two ships decelerated, left the dark universe, and reappeared in space.
“We have reached the Battle Planet!” Round Ball said excitedly with shimmering eyes.
“So this is the place?” Wang Teng stared at the giant planet floating before him. It was a startling sight.
“What do you think?” the little one asked.
“What a huge ball!” the other exclaimed.
Round Ball choked. It then explained, “Such large planets with life are rare in the universe.”
Wang Teng nodded. He sized up their destination and suddenly noticed something.
Right above the planet’s orbit—there were three land masses that looked like ring belts!
“What are those?” Wang Teng asked.
“That’s the Battle Planet’s ring land. There are three rings: Rings 1, 2 and 3,” the helper explained.
“Three rings?” Wang Teng’s expression turned strange. He thought of something and asked, “The rings weren’t formed naturally, right?”
“Wow, you can tell?” Round Ball was surprised. After nodding, it said, “You’re right. They were created by formidable warriors using their supreme force.”
Wang Teng was gobsmacked.
How powerful was their power, to be able to make those large pieces of land. Furthermore, they circled the planet.
What mighty existences!
The young hero wanted to speak but was quickly interrupted, “Wang Teng, I’m going to see my father now,” said Situ Wan’er to bid farewell. Then, she remembered something and asked, “Erm… care to join me? We can go into the participants’ waiting area together.”
Wang Teng took a second to understand her intention.
Situ Wan’er probably remembered his awkward situation. He had received a colonel rank in the military and was a recipient of the National Military Medal, but he was still just a baron. He had no fanfare to welcome him.
More so, he had a grudge with the Parkers. People would look down on him if he made a shoddy appearance.
Situ Wan’er wanted to help him.
“Thank you!” Wang Teng smiled and continued calmly, “It’s alright. Someone will be fetching me.”
