Round Ball paused for a moment, its expression turning serious.
âIâm just a cosmos-stage warrior, yet they know I can kill universe-stage martial warriors and even withstand a blow from an eternal-stage existence. In the future, if anyone comes after me, theyâll surely send even stronger warriors,â Wang Teng explained.
âYou donât have to worry too much. As long as you donât offend those strong enemies, powerful individuals wonât target you,â Round Ball reassured. âMoreover, with your current strength and extraordinary talent, many people see great potential in you and want to befriend you. As a result, youâll have more friends than enemies, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.â
âYou make a fair point, but itâs too troublesome. 1 prefer to keep a low profile,â Wang Teng replied.
âLow profile? Thereâs nobody more high-profile than you!â Round Ball rolled its eyes. âSeriously.â
âCough!â Wang Teng couldnât help but cough. âIâm only high-profile because Iâm forced to be.â
Round Ball rolled its eyes again and continued, âIn fact, every powerful prodigy has gone through this. Those who have reached the Star Rankings have all been heavily publicized, and their backgrounds have been thoroughly investigated. But their skills are always outstanding, and they eventually defeat all their enemies, standing at the peak.â
âThose who can achieve this are truly exceptional prodigies!â
âExceptional prodigy!â Wang Teng muttered to himself, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes. His lips curved into a slight smile. âWell, considering the circumstances, I can only take it one step at a time.â
Seeing his expression, Round Ball knew he was moved. Nobody could resist the title of âexceptional prodigyâ, especially Wang Teng, given his talent. Round Ballâs words were true. Those who made it to the Star Rankings fought their way there. No one could hide and become stronger.
Wang Teng didnât rush to go out. Still bearing the marks of his recent injuries, he headed to the bathroom to take a shower, washing away the blood and sweat. Soon, he emerged feeling refreshed.
Once again, he was a handsome young man with a pleasant fragrance.
âLetâs go out. The people of the Five Burial Stars must be getting impatient,â Wang Teng chuckled, opening the door and stepping outside.
As he entered the grand hall, Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun swiftly approached, drawn by the news.
âBrother Wang Teng, youâre finally out. Howâs your recovery?â Yizang Xinnuo inquired with immediate concern upon seeing Wang Teng.
âIâve fully recovered. No need to worry,â Wang Teng replied casually, a faint smile gracing his lips.
Thatâs good to hear!â Yizang Xinnuo glanced over Wang Teng, relieved but also astounded. The speed of his recovery was remarkable. The strength of Wang Tengâs physical body was truly formidable. No wonder he could withstand a blow from an eternal-stage ruler.
âYour health seems excellent,â Shouzang Caiyun remarked, also noting Wang Fengâs rapid recuperation. However, her thoughts swiftly took a mischievous turn, her eyes momentarily grazing Wang Tengâs chest before she giggled.
Yizang Xinnuo:âŠ
Wang Teng: Why does her tone seem rather peculiar?
âPfft, Wang Teng, sheâs hinting she wants to sleep with you.â Round Ball chuckled.
Wang Teng:âŠ
What a female rogue!
Also, Round Ball was becoming increasingly brazen and spouted such lewd remarks without hesitation.
Where did that pure intelligent lifeform go?
Yizang Xinnuo shot Shouzang Caiyun a disapproving glare, her face flushing slightly, hastily shifting the conversation, âWang Teng, the elders requested to speak with you when you wake up.â
âThatâs expected,â Wang Teng replied without surprise, a faint smile playing on his lips. He nodded, then inquired directly, âWhere can I meet them?â
Theyâll come in person,â Yizang Xinnuo informed him, âIâll notify them now.â With that, she opened her wristwatch in front of Wang Teng, contacting the elders of the five major families.
Wang Teng nodded to himself.
I he conduct of Yizang Xinnuo made him exceedingly comfortable. She sought permission before acting, giving ample respect by informing the elders of the five major families only after securing his agreement.
Although it was just a small detail, the more detailed, the more it impressed me.
Moreover, the five major families accorded him due respect. Originally, upon hearing that the eternal-stage elders of the five major families wished to meet him, it would have been expected for him to visit them. However, they surprised him by choosing to come in person.
Such an attitude took Wang Teng by surprise.
âWang Teng, it seems your plan has succeeded,â Round Ball remarked.
âMm!â Wang Tengâs heart stirred with a faint smile. Indeed, from the current perspective, the plan had succeeded remarkably well.
Once again, he expressed his gratitude to the Heishan Royal Clan.
The eternal-stage elders of the five major families, as well as several family heads, soon arrived together, appearing in Yizang Xinnuoâs manor.
âCouncilor Wang Teng, it appears your recovery is quite satisfactory. We are relieved.â A hint of surprise flickered in the elderâs eyes upon seeing Wang Teng for the first time, followed by a warm smile.
âThank you for your concern. I am fully recovered,â Wang Teng replied with a smile.
âYour talent is indeed astonishing. The geniuses of our families pale in comparison,â another eternal-stage elder marveled.
Hengzang Mo, GuizangYan, and the others came too. Hearing the elderâs words, they glanced at Wang Teng, their expressions complex, yet devoid of any hint of resentment.
They no longer harbored any thoughts of comparison upon seeing Wang Teng. This fellow was a prodigy; they couldnât compare themselves to a prodigy.
âYou flatter me too much!â Wang Teng quickly responded with humility. During the conversation, the elders invited Wang Teng to take a seat, and the atmosphere was remarkably harmonious. There was no trace of the prior rejection towards Wang Teng.
âCouncilor Wang Teng, allow me to introduce you. These are the eternal-stage elders of our five major families. This isâŠâ Hengzang Chuan glanced at Wang Teng with a complex expression and began the introductions.
Wang Teng learned the names of these elders.
Typically, a cosmos-stage martial warrior like him did not qualify to know the names of eternal-stage powerhouses.
However, his status was exceptional, coupled with his indebtedness to the five major families, granting him the privilege of being informed.
Moreover, these eternal-stage elders of the five major families held Wang Teng in high regard, appreciating his talent and strength. They didnât mind sharing their names with Wang Teng.
After the introductions, the discussion turned to more serious matters.
âCouncilor Wang Teng, are you aware of the news about the destruction of the Black Skull Universe Pirates fleet?â Hengzang Bo, an elder of the Hengzang Family, inquired.
As he posed the question, his gaze remained fixed on Wang Tengâs face as if trying to discern something. đłređČđ eđnđŒvđČl.cđšđŠ
Others also regarded him with strange expressions, their intentions completely inscrutable.
âIâve heard about it.â Wang Teng nodded.
âIs that all? Donât you have any thoughts on the matter?â Hengzang Bo asked with some surprise and suspicion.
âThoughts?â Wang Teng was puzzled. âWhat thoughts could I possibly have?â
âErmâŠâ Hengzang Bo looked at Wang Tengâs expression and found himself somewhat at a loss. He couldnât discern Wang Tengâs true thoughts.
Well, if you insist on my thoughts, I do have some.â Wang Teng rubbed his chin thoughtfully. âThe Black Skull Universe Pirates are not good people. They are too arrogant. Their destruction was inevitable. Therefore, one should strive to be modest and honest in life.â
âGasp!â The audience couldnât help but inhale sharply at his words..
