In the dark universe, an ordinary Universe-class ship was rapidly traveling.
This was the ship Wang Teng was on. They were already very close to the Warstar, so they had swapped out Fire River for an ordinary Universe-class ship.
"We'll reach the Warstar in an hour," Yuan Gungun said to Wang Teng.
"Mm." Wang Teng was cultivating with his eyes closed. When he heard Yuan Gungun's words, he didn't open his eyes and only nodded.
"Eh? We've encountered a ship from the Qian Empire's Imperial Capital up ahead," Yuan Gungun suddenly said.
Generally speaking, ships needed to be registered, and when two ships got close, they would display the registration location of each other.
This was done to avoid unnecessary conflict.
The universe was dangerous, and if one encountered another, a single miscommunication could lead to a great battle.
Yuan Gungun would take care of these matters, so Wang Teng didn't pay much attention to it.
Yuan Gungun also didn't take it to heart. The Battle of Geniuses was just around the corner, and they were getting closer and closer to the Warstar. There would definitely be many people from the Imperial Capital coming to watch, so it was quite common for them to encounter each other on the way.
However, just as Yuan Gungun was about to skim over this message, he suddenly received a call from the other side.
Yuan Gungun was curious as to who would send them a call, so he couldn't help but turn to Wang Teng and ask, "Wang Teng, the other side is requesting a call. Should we accept it?"
Wang Teng frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and said, "Accept it."
"Okay." Roundy nodded and accepted the communication request from the other side.
A figure of light then emerged to reveal a woman with a veil over her face.
"Baron Wang Teng, it's really you." The lady with a veil on her face smiled when she saw Wang Teng.
"Situ Wan 'er!" Wang Teng stared blankly at this familiar yet unfamiliar figure before finally remembering who she was.
This woman was none other than Duke Situ Nan's daughter, Situ Wan 'er.
"How did you know it was me?" Wang Teng asked curiously.
"Your spaceship was registered on Defense Star XXIX, and it was purchased through the military's special channel. I knew it was you at first glance." Situ Wan 'er's voice was a little cold, but there was a hint of pride in it.
Wang Teng came to a realization. Back then, in order to save money, he had purchased a few spaceships from the military as a means of transportation.
He didn't expect Situ Wan 'er to be so intelligent and able to guess his identity with just this bit of information.
Of course, there was also a bit of luck involved.
"You're also going to Warstar?" Wang Teng asked.
"Yes." Situ Wan 'er nodded and looked at Wang Teng. This was the first time she had seen Wang Teng since they parted ways in the Imperial Capital.
However, she had heard quite a bit about Wang Teng's achievements, especially his contributions to Defense Star XXIX and his Pillar of the Empire Medal. The upper echelons of the Empire were abuzz with this news.
Back when Wang Teng had just been promoted to Baron, he had invited the nobles of the Empire to a banquet, but the Pyrax Clan had made a big fuss and completely ruined it.
Many people had treated Wang Teng as a joke. After offending the Pyrax Clan, what future did a mere Baron have?
But to their surprise, half a year later, this Baron's reputation had soared once more, and he had even obtained the Pillar of the Empire Medal.
The Pillar of the Empire Medal was the highest honor in the military. With this medal, the military was backing Wang Teng. No matter how powerful the Pyrax Clan was, they could not extend their hands into the military.
Many people were taken aback by this.
They had thought that after leaving the Imperial Capital, Wang Teng would be like a stray dog. Who would have thought that he would be like a dragon entering the sea?
It was because of this that Situ Wan 'er had taken the initiative to contact Wang Teng when she guessed that the spaceship in front of her was most likely Wang Teng's.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would not have taken the initiative to contact some of the nobles she had met in the Imperial Capital.
"Are you going to watch or participate?" Wang Teng asked curiously.
"Participate!" Situ Wan 'er said.
Wang Teng was a little surprised. He did not expect this Duke's daughter to participate in the Battle of Geniuses.
However, as the daughter of a Sector Lord, she should not be weak.
"The Battle of Geniuses is a grand event. Since I have the qualifications, I naturally can't miss it," Situ Wan 'er said.
Wang Teng nodded. There were many people who had such thoughts, but he did not know how strong she was.
Thinking of this, Wang Teng's eyes had a trace of probing. Unfortunately, it was only a shadow in front of him, and he could not see Situ Wan 'er's background.
His Eye of Truth could see through space and spaceships, but there was no need to do so. She was not an enemy.
Plus, it was useless to see. They were all Star Levels, and he could not see their combat power.
Unless they had multiple Origin Forces like him!
Then he could more or less judge.
However, everyone had different battle techniques and secret arts, so it was difficult to judge anything from their Origin Forces.
If he really encountered them in the Battle of Geniuses, it would not be too late to investigate.
"You should be going to participate as well, right?" Situ Wan 'er said.
"Yes," Wang Teng said.
"Then why don't we go together?" Situ Wan 'er said.
"Sure." Wang Teng did not refuse. At least he would not be so lonely if he had a companion.
There was only an hour left, and he did not want to cultivate anymore, so he started chatting with Situ Wan 'er.
As the daughter of a duke, Situ Wan 'er was quite knowledgeable, and they talked about all sorts of things. Fortunately, Wang Teng had the Yuan Gungun as his trump card, so he could keep up with her.
There were also the inherited memories of the Void Devourer Beast, as well as some more mysterious things. He casually mentioned one or two of them, which broadened Situ Wan 'er's horizons.
"By the way, why didn't Duke Situ Nan come?" Wang Teng suddenly thought of something and asked.
"My father went two days ago. I was training outside, so we did not go the same way," Situ Wan 'er said.
"I see."
Time passed quickly as they chatted, and their spaceship approached the Battle Star.
An incomparably large black planet floated silently in the void.
Just its size alone was a thousand times that of Earth Star.
It was hard to imagine that such a superstar was actually a planet with countless life forms.
However, due to the special environment of this planet, it was not suitable for ordinary martial artists to live. In the end, the Qian Empire decided to hold the Battle of Prodigies.
At this moment, countless battleships and spaceships stopped outside that huge planet. They were densely packed together, forming a vast scene.
Those were spectators from all over the Qian Empire.
In the circle closest to the Battle Star, there was an extremely powerful fleet of battleships surrounding the Battle Star.
These battleships all had the unique symbol of the Qian Empire's military.
Fierce!
Dignified!
Clearly, these were the fleets of the Qian Empire's military.
They would maintain the order of the Battle of Prodigies and even protect the prodigies who came from all over.
As the strongest and fairest official force in the Qian Empire, these things naturally belonged to the military.
"This time, there seems to be a lot of prodigies emerging from the various cosmic realms of the Qian Empire. There are more than before. I just saw many powerful figures enter the waiting area."
"Yes, just then, I saw no less than 100 cosmic system level prodigies enter."
"Not just the star traveller level prodigies, there are even many star field level prodigies."
… …
The Battle of Prodigies hadn't even begun yet, but the spectators were already discussing enthusiastically.
The virtual universe's live broadcast locked the camera onto each and every one of the geniuses, showing them to all the viewers.
"Look, that seems to be the prodigy Fernus from Na Si Planet. Someone once saw him kill a powerful middle level emperor level star beast!"
"My god, a star level can kill a middle level emperor level star beast. That's equivalent to a universe level!"
"What's the big deal about that? A true prodigy killing a level higher than himself is normal."
"Hmph, what Fernus, our Feng Nan planet's prodigy Feng Yushan once fought two universe level fighters alone. Isn't he stronger than him!"
"What, a star level fighting two universe level fighters alone? Is this a joke?"
"Joke? Go out and ask around, who doesn't know about Feng Yushan? How can this be fake? "
"So terrifying! So terrifying! Is this what a prodigy is? "
"I seem to be a fake star level!"
… …
The virtual universe had its own platform. As the prodigies went on stage, before the battle even began, the spectators from the various powers were already discussing.
Especially the prodigies that were being watched, they all had the power to fight above their level. Hence, they became the focus of everyone's discussion.
To normal warriors, being able to fight above one or two levels was already very impressive.
Fighting across a major realm was simply something that they didn't dare to imagine.
However to these prodigies, it was like eating a meal. They all had the power to fight above their level.
Only the strong warriors, when their gazes landed on the prodigies, seemed calm.
Only by fighting above one's level would one have the chance to stand out in the Battle of Prodigies. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
Suddenly, the spectators around Warstar were in an uproar.
In the distant space, about a few hundred thousand li away, space ripples spread out. It was like a stone had been dropped, creating ripples in the deep waters.
Following this, a massive spaceship jumped out and shot toward the Warstar.
Behind the sector lord ship, there were tens of universe and domain lord ships. They followed closely behind like guards, surrounding and protecting the sector lord ship.
"Sector lord ship!!!"
"That's one of the eight great imperial families of the Empire, the Pyrax family. Look at the symbol on the ship, a fire dragon! It represents the Pyrax family! "
"Hiss, one of the eight great imperial families!"
"They're finally here. A warrior from the Empire, I wonder what kind of prodigy the Pyrax family will send this time?"
"The Pyrax family hasn't released any news in recent years. They're probably secretly training prodigies!"
… …
With the arrival of the Pyrax family, everyone was in an uproar.
This was one of the eight great imperial families that sat high above the clouds. Normal warriors had never even seen one before, only heard of them in legends. Now that they could see them with their own eyes, how could they not be excited?
Within the sector lord ship of the Pyrax family, a tall and sturdy bald elder with a flame imprint on his forehead stood in front of the ship's control panel.
Behind him were Walthegu and Cinco Raymond, the two domain lords of the Pyrax family.
Behind them were Adriss and a few unfamiliar faces. These unfamiliar faces faintly emitted powerful auras.
Even though they were only star levels, Adriss didn't dare get close and kept a respectful distance from them.
"Stretch! Lan Deng! " The tall and sturdy bald elder spoke.
"Old Ancestor!" Behind him, the unfamiliar young cultivators called out in unison.
"Warstar is just ahead. The family has spent countless resources to train you. I hope you won't disappoint me and the family." The tall elder said.
"Yes!" Everyone's expression was solemn as they loudly replied.
"Very good!" The burly old man nodded and said, "We are the Pyrax family, and the glory of the family lies on you. Every time we participate in the Genius Battle, there will always be some young warriors who come to the end and enter one of the seven Starry Sky Academies. In the previous year, there was only one person, but this year, the talent of many of you surprised even the family, so I hope that more of you can enter the Starry Sky Academy."
"We'll do our best." The young warriors' voices filled the sky, their fighting spirit high.
The tall elder turned around to look at these young warriors, his eyes filled with satisfaction and he couldn't help but laugh.
