On the spaceship, Wang Teng was surrounded by a group of Grand Masters.
"Grand Master Wang Teng, come and sit here. You must be tired from the journey. Sit down and rest for a while."
"Grand Master Wang Teng, what would you like to drink? We brought a lot of good drinks. I'm sure you'll like them."
"Grand Master Wang Teng, you must be hungry. Do you want to eat something first? Let me tell you, the headquarters of the Secondary Profession Alliance has all kinds of delicious food. There are several spiritual food streets specially built by spirit chefs. It's very lively and there are all kinds of delicious food. It will definitely broaden your horizons. Do you want to go and have a look?"
…
As soon as they entered the spaceship, the Grand Masters greeted Wang Teng with great enthusiasm and asked about his well-being. It seemed that they were afraid that he would be hungry and tired.
"…"
Luo Tang, Xie Jia, and the other young Grand Masters of the Qian Empire were speechless.
These old Grand Masters were worshipping Wang Teng as if he was their ancestor.
Was it necessary?
Maybe this Grand Master Wang Teng was really a genius. However, as Grand Masters, who didn't have some talent? There was no need to flatter him like this.
There was no doubt that in these young Grand Masters' eyes, Grand Master Huayuan and the others were flattering Wang Teng.
However, they didn't know the relationship between Grand Master Huayuan and Wang Teng.
Wang Teng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These Grand Masters were making a mountain out of a molehill. He wasn't such a pretentious person. Did they treat him like a three-year-old child?
"Grand Master Wang Teng …"
"Ahem, Grand Masters!" Wang Teng looked at these old Grand Masters' attentive faces and couldn't help but shiver. He hurriedly said, "You don't have to do this. Since I'm a member of the Qian Empire Secondary Profession Alliance, I naturally have to do my part."
"What's more, when I first came to the Qian Empire, you Grand Masters and the Secondary Profession Alliance gave me a lot of help."
"So, whether it's in terms of reason or kinship, this is something I can't shirk from."
None of the Evolved Jing masters had expected Wang Teng to say such a thing. They were all stunned for a moment before exchanging glances with one another. Gradually, a smile appeared on their faces.
That kind of smile was completely from the heart. If it was said that before they roped in Wang Teng because of his talent and recognition, then now they had already regarded him as a real sub-professional of the Qian Empire.
To put it simply … they were on the same side!
They knew about Wang Teng's background. Generally speaking, for an outsider like Wang Teng, it was very difficult for him to have any sense of belonging to the Qian Empire. Therefore, they tried their best to rope him in, fearing that Wang Teng would run away.
But after Wang Teng said this, they looked at Wang Teng's sincere face and the trace of worry in their hearts finally disappeared completely.
Of course, their relationship with Wang Teng was very close. This was without a doubt.
However, they hoped that Wang Teng could become a sub-professional of the Qian Empire. Only then could they be considered to be on the same side.
"It's us old guys who are too pretentious." Grandmaster Huayuan and the others sat down on the side and shook their heads with laughter.
"Hey, we're just concerned about you." Grandmaster Alfred smiled and said.
"Then I'll have to thank you Grandmasters for your kindness."
Wang Teng finally heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He looked as though he was overwhelmed by the favor.
"Hahaha …"
Seeing that he was obviously being funny, the Evolved Jing masters couldn't help but laugh.
"Right, who was that just now?" Grandmaster Alfred asked curiously, "I can't see through that young man."
When everyone heard this, they also looked over curiously. They had been wanting to ask, but they didn't say anything in front of the other party.
"He's a friend I met on the way here. His name is Gu Luo, and he's from the Ancient Hong Weave." Wang Teng recounted what happened on the way here.
"Ancient Hong Weave!"
The Evolved Jing masters present were all knowledgeable people. Moreover, the Ancient Hong Weave was famous outside. Very few people didn't know about it. When they heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"He has the surname Gu?!" Grandmaster Huayuan's face turned serious.
The Ancient Hong Weave was already shocking enough, not to mention that the other party had the surname Gu. This identity was somewhat thought-provoking.
"He took the initiative to befriend you?" Grandmaster Alfred asked in disbelief.
Xie Jia, Luo Tang, and the other young Evolved Jing masters couldn't help but look at each other. They saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.
An alchemist from the Ancient Hong Weave with the surname Gu actually took the initiative to befriend Wang Teng.
Was his talent really that great?
Even an alchemist from the Ancient Hong Weave was willing to lower himself to befriend him!
"Yes." Wang Teng nodded. Feeling that their expressions were a little strange, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"
"I'm afraid this person's identity is not simple." Grandmaster Alfred pondered for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, you might not know this, but the Ancient Hong Weave has always been a lone wolf. They rarely take the initiative to befriend others. On the other hand, people from other forces always try to befriend them. Unfortunately, it's all in vain. Very few people can enter the Ancient Hong Weave's eyes.
"For so many years, only a few top heaven's prides have been able to gain their friendship."
"Oh?" Wang Teng couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
Gu Luo's description was completely different from what Grandmaster Alfred and the others had described. Gu Luo was extremely friendly to him and didn't put on any airs.
If Huang Xiaolong hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that the person Grandmaster Alfred and the others were talking about was from the same place.
However, Huang Xiaolong didn't suspect that Grandmaster Alfred and the others were lying to him. There was no need for that. Everyone knew about this matter, and they had no reason to lie to him.
This meant that the people of the Ancient Hong Weave were indeed like what Grandmaster Alfred and the others had described. It was just that Gu Luo treated him a little differently.
Wang Teng couldn't help but feel a little curious. What was Gu Luo's goal in approaching him?
Could it be that Gu Luo had really seen through his unparalleled talent?
But he hadn't done anything. How could Gu Luo have seen through his extraordinariness?
"Sigh … Sure enough, it's impossible to hide someone as extraordinary as me," Wang Teng sighed inwardly. "Damn, I have nowhere to hide my excellence."
"In addition, the Ancient Hong Weave's sub-professions are very strong. In every previous exchange, the Ancient Hong Weave's sub-professions would shine brightly, shocking everyone." Grandmaster Hua Yuan seemed to recall something as he added.
"Are they that strong?" Wang Teng couldn't help but rub his chin. "Things are getting more and more interesting."
Gu Luo was interested in him, but he was also very interested in Gu Luo.
He really wanted to meet the Ancient Hong Weave's sub-professions. Who knew, he might be able to get some unexpected benefits.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others couldn't help but be stunned. They had warned Wang Teng to be careful, but why did this guy look so excited?
"Grandmaster Wang Teng, the Ancient Hong Weave's sub-professions are very strong. You mustn't let your guard down." Grandmaster Alfred hesitated for a moment before solemnly reminding Wang Teng.
"That's right. In every previous exchange, any Ancient Hong Weave's sub-professions would be a formidable opponent for all the other sub-professions." Grandmaster Hazel nodded with great emotion.
"Grandmasters, don't worry. I won't underestimate them." Wang Teng smiled faintly.
Although he said that, he was actually very confident in himself. Unless a Saint-class sub-professions appeared in this exchange, he definitely wouldn't lose to anyone.
However, this exchange was limited to the younger generation. The participants couldn't be over 300 years old, so it was impossible for a Saint-class sub-professions to appear.
After all, if one wanted to reach the Saint-class by the age of 300, their martial arts cultivation would have to reach the realm of a Sector Lord.
This condition was too harsh.
It was already extremely difficult to reach the Saint-class sub-professions by the age of 300, and it was even more difficult to raise one's martial arts cultivation to the realm of a Sector Lord by the age of 300. Only a small number of prodigies with extremely strong martial arts talent could achieve this.
It could be said that it was almost impossible to have both a sub-professions and martial arts talent that were so heaven-defying.
In any case, in the endless history of the universe, the number of people who could reach the Saint-class by the age of 300 could be counted on one hand.
Those people were prodigies that could only appear once in countless eras.
Therefore, Wang Teng was practically in an invincible position.
At most, there would be people who could be on the same level as him. However, with Wang Teng's means, he believed that even if they were on the same level, his sub-professions would be completely superior to others.
Grandmaster Alfred and the others didn't know what Wang Teng was thinking, but seeing his serious expression and that he didn't have the slightest intention of underestimating others, they were more or less relieved.
From their point of view, although Wang Teng was usually a bit jumpy, he wasn't someone who looked down on others. When it was time to be serious, he would be serious without the slightest bit of carelessness. They were very relieved about this.
"However, if the other party wants to make friends with you, you have to take advantage of this opportunity." Grandmaster Huayuan's eyes flashed as he stroked his white beard.
"That's right, this kind of opportunity is very rare. If you can make friends with a genius alchemist from the Ancient Hong Weave, it will only be good for you." Grandmaster Alfred nodded in agreement.
Wang Teng was about to nod.
"Could that person be a fake?" Grandmaster Xie Jia's eyes flashed as he suddenly said.
"A fake!" Everyone was stunned, and then their gazes became strange. They looked at Grandmaster Xie Jia, but didn't say anything.
Wang Teng also looked at him. Where did this idiot come from? He actually suspected that Gu Luo was a fake. His brain circuit was quite strange.
Even Luo Tang and the other young Grandmasters looked at him strangely. Their expressions seemed to be saying … What kind of stupid question is this?
"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xie Jia felt his scalp go numb under everyone's stares. He couldn't help but bite the bullet and say, "People from the Ancient Hong Weave usually don't appear so casually. They must have a special flying ship to pick them up. How could they have run into Grandmaster Wang Teng?"
"No one would dare to pretend to be someone from the Ancient Hong Weave, especially with the surname Gu," Grandmaster Alfred said.
Grandmaster Xie Jia looked as if he had been struck by lightning. The muscles on his face stiffened slightly, and then a trace of red appeared on his face. He wanted nothing more than to find a hole to crawl into.
Just now, when he saw everyone surrounding Grandmaster Wang Teng, he felt a little uneasy and said those words without thinking. Now that Grandmaster Alfred had pointed it out, he realized that he had said something stupid.
It was impossible to pretend to be someone from the Ancient Hong Weave. No one would have the guts to do so. If he dared to think that way, the people of the Ancient Hong Weave wouldn't let him off easily.
"This is?" Wang Teng asked.
"This is Grandmaster Xie Jia. He is a Runes Grandmaster from the Qian Empire. He is not more than two hundred years old," Grandmaster Alfred introduced.
"Ah, so it is Grandmaster Xie Jia. Sorry for the disrespect! "Wang Teng smiled and cupped his hands.
Grandmaster Xie Jia's face was covered in sweat. At this time, he didn't even dare to look at Wang Teng. He felt that he had been utterly humiliated, and the smile on Wang Teng's face made it seem as if he was mocking him.
"This is Grandmaster Luo Tang." Grandmaster Alfred also noticed Xie Jia's embarrassment and couldn't help but shake his head. He pointed to another young Grandmaster and said, "He is a Grandmaster Blacksmith. He is two hundred and thirteen years old. He is also a genius of the Qian Empire."
"Grandmaster Luo Tang." Wang Teng nodded at the other.
"I have heard of Grandmaster Wang Teng for a long time. Now that I have met you in person, you are indeed extraordinary," Grandmaster Luo Tang said.
"You flatter me, Grandmaster Luo Tang." Wang Teng said modestly.
"And this …" Grandmaster Alfred was about to introduce the third person, the golden-haired woman. She smiled and said, "I'll do it myself."
As she spoke, she stood up and bowed slightly at Wang Teng.
"My name is Suzanna. I am a Grandmaster Alchemist. I have heard that Grandmaster Wang Teng is very talented in Alchemy. I am looking forward to learning from you."
"You are too kind, Grandmaster Suzanna. We can learn from each other." Wang Teng returned the bow and smiled.
The Grandmaster Alchemist in front of Wang Teng looked very young. She had long blond hair and a delicate and beautiful face. She looked like a doll, stunning people.
"Grandmaster Suzanna is also very young …" Grandmaster Alfred wanted to say something, but he was interrupted again.
"Grandmaster Alfred, let's not talk about my age. Age is a secret for women," Grandmaster Suzanna said with a smile.
"Pfft … I am being rude!" Grandmaster Alfred's face suddenly became awkward. He almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
"Hahaha …" Grandmaster Huayuan and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Teng looked at Grandmaster Alfred sympathetically. He had lived for so long, but he didn't know such a simple thing. Was he the legendary "Single for hundreds of years"?
Terrifying! Terrifying!
Grandmaster Alfred seemed to have noticed Wang Teng's gaze and glared at him.
"Cough, cough!" Wang Teng coughed awkwardly and changed the topic. "How long have you been here?"
"A few days before you." Grandmaster Huayuan said.
"How is the situation now? When will the conference officially start? "Wang Teng asked curiously.
"Three days before the conference officially starts," Grandmaster Huayuan said. "Three days later, the entrance to the subprofession alliance headquarters will be closed, and outsiders won't be able to enter.
Grandmaster Alfred said, "Yes.
"Now, more and more subprofessions are coming from all over the universe. Basically, everyone who should be here is here. You'll know when you see the situation outside."
Wang Teng looked outside through the panoramic simulation of the spaceship. He saw that the spaceship had already entered the main continent, and a bustling scene immediately came into view. Many spaceships were shuttling back and forth in the sky in an orderly manner. It was very lively.
"These spaceships are all from the subprofession alliance headquarters," Grandmaster Alfred said. "They are all controlled by the headquarters' AI system, so there won't be any accidents."
Wang Teng wasn't surprised, because the virtual universe company's World Island was the same. Every spaceship was controlled by the AI system, which could avoid unnecessary conflicts and trouble. He nodded and said, "There are indeed many people here."
"This situation is very rare," Grandmaster Huayuan said with a smile. "Usually, there won't be so many people at the subprofession alliance headquarters."
"For us, to be able to participate in this conference is really a blessing of three lifetimes." Grandmaster Luo Tang sighed.
"Unfortunately, at our age, participating once is the limit," Grandmaster Suzanna said. "We won't be able to participate in the next one."
This beautiful grandmaster, who had kept her age a secret, couldn't help but sigh. It was tantamount to admitting that she wasn't young anymore.
Wang Teng looked at them.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng is the one who is truly young," Grandmaster Luo Tang said meaningfully.
They had already learned some information about Wang Teng from Grandmaster Alfred and the others, but it wasn't specific. They only knew that he should be under 100 years old, which was why they were curious about Wang Teng's age.
To be praised by Grandmaster Alfred and the others, this Wang Teng must be extremely outstanding.
Moreover, they had just talked about the alchemist with the surname Gu from the Gu Hong Weave. If even someone of that status took the initiative to make friends with this Grandmaster Wang Teng, it meant that Wang Teng's talent was extraordinary.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn't pretend that they didn't see all of this.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng is indeed very young." Grandmaster Huayuan and the others looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
In the Qian Empire Subprofession Alliance, Wang Teng's specific information was top secret, and very few people knew about it.
However, as the people who had recommended Wang Teng to the Subprofession Alliance, they knew very well. Every time they thought about how Wang Teng was only in his early twenties, they couldn't help but sigh and be amazed.
He was too young!
Moreover, how long had it been since he had first arrived in the Qian Empire? Now, he had grown to a level that made them feel inferior. This kind of talent was really unimaginable.
"It's okay." Wang Teng touched his nose.
From the beginning, he felt that the attitude of these young Grandmasters seemed to be a little different.
That feeling was like … jealousy!
Yes, it was a kind of faint jealousy. Although they hid it very well, whether it was the look in their eyes or some of their attitude toward him, they would still unconsciously show a trace of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Therefore, he didn't intend to reveal his age. He was afraid that he would hurt their feelings.
"Being young doesn't mean everything. Realm and attainment are the most important," Grandmaster Xie Jia said lightly.
"Grandmaster Xie Jia is right. Everything still depends on strength. I'm too young, and I still need to learn more from the Grandmasters." Wang Teng looked at him and smiled faintly.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng is too humble. We don't have the ability to let you learn." Grandmaster Suzanna smiled.
Grandmaster Xie Jia glanced at her. What was wrong with this woman? Didn't she look very unconvinced before? Why did she seem like a different person when she saw Grandmaster Wang Teng?
Grandmaster Luo Tang's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. The strength of this Grandmaster Wang Teng could only be known after watching him fight.
Grandmaster Huayuan and the others didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These young Grandmasters were still unconvinced after all.
However, it was nothing. If they were young and met other geniuses, they would also be unconvinced and insist on competing.
Unfortunately, they were old and had been silent in the Grandmaster realm for many years. They had never taken that step.
At this moment, the old Grandmasters couldn't help but feel that they were old. Time was unforgiving.
Although the path of a secondary profession was not as dangerous as that of a martial artist, it was no less difficult. They had been immersed in their own fields for so many years, but they still couldn't break through. That was enough to explain everything.
At this moment, the spaceship shook slightly, pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality.
"We're here!" Grandmaster Huayuan stood up and said.
Everyone walked out of the spaceship's cabin door and came to the outside world.
Wang Teng glanced around and found that they were in a quaint residential area. The villas and manors were all luxurious and exquisite.
"Grandmaster Wang Teng, we'll take you to your residence." Grandmaster Alfred led the way in front.
Wang Teng nodded and followed behind him.
After a while, they arrived in front of a villa. Grandmaster Alfred smiled and said, "Your residence is here. We've already registered it for you. You just need to use your identity account to open it."
"Thank you, Grandmasters!" Wang Teng nodded and said gratefully.
"It's nothing. It's just a small matter." Grandmaster Alfred shook his head and said, "You must be tired after such a long journey. Go back and rest. If you want to eat anything, you can buy it on the internal network of the Secondary Profession Alliance.
"Also, our residences are next to yours. If you need anything, just call us."
"Okay!" Wang Teng smiled and nodded again.
Grandmaster Alfred and the others did not stay for long. After a few more words, they left.
Wang Teng watched them leave and then turned to the villa. He asked Yuan Gungun to open the door and walked in.
The residences provided by the Secondary Profession Alliance were very luxurious. The interior was well-equipped and made people feel very comfortable as soon as they stepped in. It was as if they had returned home.
However, Wang Teng was already used to it. He had seen too much of it, so it was nothing to be surprised about.
"Wang Teng, those young Grandmasters just now seemed to be unhappy with you." Yuan Gungun laughed.
"It's their business if they're unhappy. Don't worry about it," Wang Teng said lightly.
"Don't you want to give them a slap in the face?" Yuan Gungun teased.
"It's nothing. They're not my target. There should be more powerful prodigies in this conference. I hope they don't disappoint me." Wang Teng shook his head.
"They definitely won't disappoint you. There are so many prodigies from all over the universe. Maybe someone will surprise you." Yuan Gungun said, "Right, that Gu Luo might be one of them. The prodigies of Ancient Hong Weave should not be underestimated. Those Grandmasters are right."
"I know." Wang Teng's eyes flashed and he smiled. "This new friend of mine will definitely make me happy."
"So, you're going to participate in the alchemist conference?" Yuan Gungun asked.
"No, I'm going to participate in all of them," Wang Teng said.
"…" Yuan Gungun was stunned for a moment. He wondered if he had misheard. He hesitated and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said I'm going to participate in all of the secondary profession competitions," Wang Teng said.
"You're crazy!" Yuan Gungun shouted. He appeared at the side and looked at Wang Teng as if he was crazy.
Every competition in the secondary profession alliance's conference was extremely difficult. Countless prodigies had to be eliminated before one could advance to the next round.
At first, he thought that Wang Teng would definitely choose the alchemy competition that he had the highest attainment in. In the end, he actually told him to participate in all of the competitions.
This guy was definitely crazy!
Was that something a human would do?
"I'm not crazy." Wang Teng looked at him speechlessly. He had been with him for so long, yet he had not made any progress. He did not understand him at all.
Wasn't it just participating in a few more competitions? What was there to be surprised about?
"Do you know how difficult it is? In this conference, to be able to reach the end of a field requires you to spend all of your energy and ability to succeed. Now you want to participate in all of the competitions? That's just wishful thinking. Can you handle it? Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon in the end, "Yuan Gungun said anxiously.
In the face of Yuan Gungun's anxiety, Wang Teng smiled faintly and said calmly, "To me, it doesn't matter if I participate in one of the secondary professions or all of them. It makes no difference."
