Wang Teng felt that he was a pure person. The acting skills he displayed occasionally were to protect himself. His character didnât change.
Gorlin and the other runemasters felt the same way too.
This child didnât even know how outstanding he was.
Look, he didnât know what level he was at. That showed his pure thinking.
Gorlin wanted to reply to Wang Tengâs question, but Master Carl was more impatient than him. âYou must be at the master level. How can a normal runemaster carve this perfect rune? Master Gorlin, youâre a lucky fellow. You managed to find an extremely gifted disciple.â
He stared at Gorlin, green with envy. He wished that he could snatch Wang Teng away.
He didnât care if he could teach Wang Teng. As long as he was his disciple, it would be a much-told tale.
The master and the disciples were both at the master level. How amazing it sounded!
Unfortunately, he belonged to other people.
Gorlin coughed awkwardly. âNothing is certain before the test. However, Master Carl, please donât look at me like this. I have no feelings towards you.â
âPfft!â Wang Teng burst out laughing. He didnât expect his master to have this side to him.
Also, the lethality of the words rose tremendously when spoken from the mouth of an elder with noble character and high prestige.
The other runemasters laughed too.
Master Carlâs face turned black. He retorted, âYou old monk, do you think Iâm an old virgin like you? I have many grandchildren under me.â
Wang Tengâs expression turned weird, as if he had heard something incredible. He carefully glanced at his master.
A hint of frost appeared around Master Gorlin. He gritted his teeth and said, âCarl, I think you lack a beating.â
âHmph, Iâm not afraid of you.â Master Carl was a little scared, but he put on a calm front and snorted softly.
âAlright, alright, stop quarreling. Youâve gone off-topic.â The other runemasters suppressed their laughter and mediated the dispute.

They worked throughout the night and went back to rest for three hours. At 8 am, they got up for breakfast.
All through the night, the young runemasters were worried that they had lost the love from their masters. Hence, when they woke up and realized that their masters were all exceptionally enthusiastic towards Wang Teng, they felt even worse.
They wanted to greet their masters, but no one cared about them. They were all gathered around Wang Teng as if he was their personal disciple.
The young runemasters stood there in silent misery.
What on earth was going on?
In one night, they lost their masterâs love. They felt as helpless as an abandoned stray dog.
They sat in a corner and ate their breakfasts. While eating, they kept stealing glances at the opposite table. All the runemasters were happily chatting with Wang Teng. The atmosphere was harmonious.
They whispered to one another and gritted their teeth. Their resentment towards Wang Teng kept increasingâŚ
Whoâs cursing me? Wang Teng suddenly sneezed thrice. He was confused.
After breakfast, the masters continued carving runes. They worked from dawn till night, and the day passed quickly. Finally, at 5 am the next day, all the runes for the Thousand Thunder Annihilation Array were finished.
A hint of sunrise gradually rose above the horizon. The sun sprinkled its light on the city.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The master-stage runemasters glanced at one another and smiled. They might be more experienced, but they still felt a sense of satisfaction.
The Thousand Thunder Annihilation Array was finally completed!
All they had to do was wait for the dark apparitions to walk to their death.
Wang Teng smiled gently. Then, he opened his mouth and said, âMasters, elders, the Thousand Thunder Annihilation Array is completed. Thereâs nothing for me to do here. I have a mission, so Iâll make a move first.â
âWhat? You still have a mission?â Master Carl exclaimed in surprise.
âThatâs not right. Itâs too dangerous. Youâre the rising star in the rune world. You mustnât take risks.â Master Cha Shu shook his head furiously.
The other runemasters agreed and persuaded him against leaving.
After this cooperation, all the masters acknowledged Wang Tengâs atrocious rune potential. They cherished him from the bottom of their hearts, so they were unwilling to let him take any risks.
Wang Teng was caught between laughter and tears. He didnât expect this to happen.
He was thankful for the runemastersâ love. However, besides being a runemaster, he was also a martial warrior. He couldnât hide behind others like a turtle in its shell.
âElders, Iâm thankful for your kind thoughts. However, Iâm a martial warrior and am part of Earthâs troop. You donât want me to be an army deserter, right?â Wang Teng said.
âDonât worry. Weâll speak to General Dan and persuade her not to let you on the battlefield,â Master Carl patted his chest and promised confidently.
âAlright, Wang Teng has his own path. Let him make his own choices.â Gorlin spoke up at this moment.
âErmâŚâ
Since Wang Tengâs master had spoken, the others had no right to say anything. The persuasions at the tip of their lips never came out of their mouths.
They sighed and shook their heads.
âAlright, young people like you do have to walk your own path,â Master Carl said helplessly.
âThank you.â Wang Teng bowed at them. Then, he looked at Gorlin and said, âMaster, Iâm leaving!â
âGo ahead.â Gorlin smiled.
Wang Teng didnât say much. He rose into the air and turned into a ray of light as he soared through the sky and shot towards the horizon.
âGorlin, you will regret it if something happens to Wang Teng.â Master Cha Shu sighed.
âI believe him,â Gorlin replied with a smile.
âI donât know where you get your confidence from. You have such a great disciple. If any mishaps happen, you will have no tears to cry.â Carl scoffed.
Gorlin smiled and remained silent.
âAnyway, weâre fortunate to have Wang Teng with us. If not, the last part of the carving wouldnât have gone so smoothly,â Cha Shu suddenly lamented.
The other runemasters nodded, sighing emotionally.
When Ni Wenguang and the other young men woke up, they realized that Wang Teng was gone.
Once the irritating figure could no longer be seen beside their masters, they felt invigorated. They walked to their masters obediently and asked, âMaster, where is that fellow?â
âWhat fellow?â
âWang Teng.â
âWang Teng is Wang Teng. Why are you calling him that fellow? Where are your manners? Look at Wang Teng, and then look at yourself. Youâre occupied with nothing, and your rune mastery is unbearable. How can you have the face to appear in front of meâŚâ
A bucket of cold water doused the happiness of the young runemasters. They welcomed the scoldings from their masters in a daze.
What just happened?
Why were they getting scolded?
Wang Teng was already gone, so why was his shadow still lingering above them? The young runemasters were confused, feeling exasperated.
The hatred towards that fellow shot right up. Wang Teng, weâre arch enemies from now on!
