The elder's words pulled Wang Teng's thoughts back from the shock of hearing about the sector lord's small world. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
He originally thought that as long as he passed the trial, he would be able to inherit the title.
But now …
He couldn't take away Cao Hongtu's right!
This meant that Cao Hongtu still had to compete with him for the title.
"Therefore, this trial will be a competition between the two of you. Whoever has the greater potential, whoever gains more benefits in the Realm Lord's small world, will prove that whoever is stronger and wiser will inherit the title of Baron." The cabinet elder said.
Wang Teng took a deep breath.
He was going to compete with a domain lord level fighter?
"Can I say something?" Wang Teng's expression wasn't good, interrupting the elder's words.
"Speak." The elder nodded.
"You want me, a star traveller level fighter, to compete with a domain lord level fighter in the sector lord's small world?" Wang Teng's mouth had a hint of mockery as he asked directly.
The elder wasn't angry, he knew what Wang Teng was worried about, calmly saying: "When entering the sector lord's small world, Cao Hongtu will suppress his power to the universe level."
"Other than that, you can also find outside help, but including yourself, the number of people from both sides cannot exceed five, and each person entering cannot exceed the universe level."
"Five people, their power cannot exceed the universe level!" Wang Teng calculated in his heart, asking: "How can we guarantee that neither side will exceed the universe level in the sector lord's small world?"
"The fire river sector only allows fighters below the universe level to enter, and according to my calculations, there's only one last chance to enter. After this, the sector will completely collapse and cease to exist. If anyone uses power above the universe level, it will cause the sector lord's small world to collapse prematurely, and the person who enters will be annihilated."
"Are you satisfied with this?" The elder said calmly and asked Wang Teng.
Wang Teng's expression was uncertain, he pondered for a while and finally nodded.
At this point, this was probably the best result.
At least he didn't have no chance.
Wang Teng glanced at Cao Hongtu, seeing him smile even more brightly, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He really thought he had him in the bag!
Three Universe level warriors, if he wanted to recruit them, it was still possible.
And other than himself, Wang Teng decided to let An Lan suppress his power to the universe level and follow him to the fire river sector.
He only needed to copy Cao Hongtu's trick once.
Cao Hongtu probably wouldn't expect him to have a domain lord level fighter on his side, and a pinnacle one at that.
As for the talent test, he wasn't afraid.
At most, he would just reveal his Saint-tier wind element talent and blind them.
However, unless he had no other choice, he wouldn't do this. Saint Tier talent meant that it was highly possible for him to reach the Immortal Tier. This would make many people feel apprehensive, and it would be disadvantageous to him.
Now, he had to develop in a wretched manner …
"When will the training start?" Wang Teng asked.
"Today, we will test your talent first. Then, we will give you two days to prepare. Two days later, we will head to the Fire River Realm," the pavilion elder said.

These people really wanted to know, in the following talent test, who would be better?
To Wang Teng, a fighter from a remote planet, many of them didn't think highly of him.
They were proper aristocrats, with high statuses, and now a mud monkey wanted to join them?
Become one of them?
What a joke.
Instead of saying that they wanted to see who was better, they wanted to see how Wang Teng would fail and how he would be chased out dejectedly.
They didn't think that Wang Teng could compare to Cao Hongtu.
A star traveller level fighter?
A domain lord level fighter?
Everyone knew who had more potential!
Wang Teng might not even reach the universe level, much less a domain lord level fighter!
And Cao Hongtu was already a powerful fighter, domain lord level fighters deserved respect?
And he had many achievements on the battlefield?
Even if someone didn't like him?
They wouldn't look down on him.
Ultimately, the universe was a place where power mattered.
Wang Teng's power in their eyes?
It was still too low!
Once the others left?
Soon, only Wang Teng and Cao Hongtu were left in the hall.
"Junior brother, it's not too late for you to admit defeat now. Once we reach the Fire River Boundary, we will see blood. This is not something I want to see." Cao Hongtu stood up, shook the luxurious purple robe on his body, and laughed softly.
"You don't have to worry about this, senior brother Cao, you should think about the talent test later, don't lose to a star traveller level fighter like me." Wang Teng wasn't angry at all and laughed.
Then, without waiting for Cao Hongtu to say anything, he turned and walked out of the hall.
Cao Hongtu furrowed his brows and followed.
Everyone was led to the fifth level of the pavilion by the elder, there was a place to test talent.
When Wang Teng walked in, he saw a huge room. In the middle of the room was a sealed space, the surroundings were transparent and one could see the situation inside from the outside.
"This is the talent testing device, go in and absorb the force inside. Maintain it for ten minutes and the device will accurately test your talent."
"Which one of you will go first?"
The elder looked at Wang Teng and Cao Hongtu and asked.
"Senior brother Cao, you go first," Wang Teng said.
The reason why he let Cao Hongtu go first was because he didn't want to show off too much. When the time came, he just needed to surpass Cao Hongtu's talent.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Cao Hongtu nodded and walked into the device without hesitation.
As the device was completely sealed, the sealed space was instantly filled with earth element force.
Cao Hongtu was an earth element martial artist.
He stood in the middle of the device, all the force surging into his body. The absorption speed was extremely fast, forming a force vortex around him in the blink of an eye.
"Cao Hongtu's earth element talent should have reached the king level!"
"King-level earth element talent, barely passable."
"But he actually broke through to the domain lord level with just his king-level talent, this Cao Hongtu can be considered a person with great perseverance and luck."
…
When the aristocrat representatives saw this scene, they discussed and commented in low voices.
"King-level talent!" Wang Teng heard the discussion around him and couldn't help but smile.
His lowest talent was a king-level talent, it would be easy for him to beat Cao Hongtu.
"High-level king-level earth element talent!"
A moment later, the device reported Cao Hongtu's talent level. As everyone guessed, it was a king-level talent, there was no doubt about it.
But he was a high-level king-level talent!
Every talent level was divided into low-level, mid-level, and high-level. A high-level king-level talent was already very good, it was at least a few times better than a mid-level talent.
Cao Hongtu walked out with a calm expression, as if he didn't think that his king-level talent was that great.
Actually, it was true. Most of the people present had higher talents than him, and king-level talent was probably the lowest level.
This was a kind of helplessness to him.
If his talent was too low, it was destined that his future would be difficult.
Although his luck wasn't bad and he'd reached the domain lord level, he was still only at the 2nd level of the domain lord level. Moreover, the further he got, the more he felt that his cultivation speed became extremely slow. It was very difficult to break through each level.
However, talent was innate, other than some godly items, there wasn't anything that could change one's talent.
Even if Cao Hongtu was full of ambition, his future path would only get narrower and narrower. Whether or not he could even break through to the domain lord level 5 was a problem.
The domain lord level wasn't indestructible. If he couldn't break through to the sector lord level before his lifespan ended, he would completely die.
This was why he had to do whatever it took to get the title of baron. Only by getting the title could he obtain more cultivation resources.
If his talent wasn't good enough, he could make up for it with resources!
He had to pile them all up until he reached the sector lord level.
Within the Qian Empire, only by breaking through to the sector lord level would he have a place to stand. He wouldn't be ordered around like a dog.
He wouldn't have to lower his voice and sell his daughter just because he offended a large family.
No one knew that under Cao Hongtu's calm face, there were many emotions, as well as unwillingness and grievance.
Everyone understood this point. Hence, they looked at Cao Hongtu with pity. His talent was still too low!
