âYour gaze is a little strange,â An Lan commented as he walked over, noticing Wang Tengâs expression.
âReally? I donât think so. Youâre thinking too much.â Wang Teng felt that a heaven-stage martial warrior was indeed extremely vigilant. He restrained his expression and shook his head sternly.
âNo?â An Lan didnât believe him. He felt that Wang Teng was up to no good.
âYouâre a heaven-stage martial warrior. What can a planetary-stage nobody like me do to you?â Wang Teng felt speechless.
âWho knows? Youâre a sly little fellow.â An Lan pouted.
âHey, what are you saying? I just helped you craft the Thousand Armaments Vessel, and now, youâre trying to push me away? Are you kicking me to the curb because Iâm not useful anymore?â Wang Teng asked angrily.
âCough, donât make me sound so heartless. Since you helped me forge the Thousand Armaments Vessel, Iâll keep my promise.â
âHmph, heartless,â Wang Teng snorted.
Silence.
Heartless your head!
You sound as if we have some indecent relationship!
âLet me have a look at this Thousand Armaments Vessel. I havenât observed it carefully, so I donât know its quality,â Wang Teng said. He heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed An Lanâs thoughts going astray. He hurriedly changed the topic.
An Lan stretched out his hand, and a black rectangular box appeared on his palm.
The Thousand Armaments Vessel was three feet long and a foot wide. Nothing much could be seen on the surface except many complicated rune patterns. They looked mysterious and magical.
Its real power would only be displayed after segmenting the vessel into its various parts. To a divine spirit master, this was an extremely powerful weapon.
âI can win against any heaven-stage martial warrior with it,â An Lan smiled and said. He was in a great mood.
âOh?â Wang Teng was shocked. He didnât think that An Lan possessed such ability.
Heaven-stage martial warriors were formidable characters. Every one of them had the ability to destroy a planet. If they gave it their all, they could cause mass destruction.
Yet, An Lan was saying he could defeat any heaven-stage martial warriors.
What kind of idea was this?
Wang Teng didnât dare to think.
While he was immersed in astonishment, a message popped up on his wristwatch.
âWang Teng, thereâs a message from the Noble Family Consultation Chamber.â Round Ballâs stern voice sounded in his mind.
It was overlooking Wang Tengâs identity account, so it knew the content of the message.
âTrial?â Wang Tengâs gaze turned serious as he hazarded a guess.
âYes, theyâve come up with the final trial content. You need to go over now.â
âOkay.â Wang Teng nodded.
âWhat is it?â An Lan asked when he noticed something amiss with Wang Tengâs expression.
âThe noble trial is about to start.â
âIt looks like your battle with Cao Hongtu is about to officially start.â An Lan frowned. âI donât think I can help with your trial.â
âLetâs take a look first.â Wang Teng walked out of the smithery studio.
They left the Secondary Career Alliance and boarded a rune energy flying car to head to the Empire Noble Family Consultation Chamber.
Approximately ten minutes later, they arrived at the Great Qian Noble Family Consultation Chamber and saw a figure standing at the entrance from afar. This was the guardian of the Noble Family Consultation Chamber, Ming Cheng, whom Wang Teng had met once.
âYouâre here.â
âGuardian Ming Cheng.â Wang Teng nodded and bowed.
âThe elders are waiting for you. Please follow me,â Ming Cheng said. He glanced at An Lan and continued, âYour friend wonât be able to enter. He can only wait in the lobby.â
Wang Teng hesitated before nodding. He used voice transmission to speak to An Lan. Then, he followed Ming Cheng to the ninth floor.
Everyone was waiting in an ancient grand hall.
The difference this time was, Cao Guan wasnât the one representing the Cao family. It was Cao Hongtu. Sinclamon wasnât representing the Parkers family either. Instead, Andraisâs father, Valteru, had taken his place.
As for the other families, Wang Teng didnât recognize them. But he didnât pay much attention to them last time, so he wasnât familiar with them.
He followed Ming Cheng in. Everyoneâs gaze turned towards him, their intentions unclear.
His seat was still opposite the Cao family.
The head of the chamber nodded at Wang Teng and said, âHave a seat.â
Wang Teng sat down and met Cao Hongtuâs gaze, who even gave him a smile.
âWang Teng, the chamber has decided to split this trial into two parts.â The elder went directly to the point.
Wang Tengâs expression changed slightly. He looked at the elder and listened carefully.
âThe empireâs baron title is an extraordinary title. The person holding it must possess great potential, ability, and intelligence. The first trial will aim to test your potential. To be a baron, you need to at least be at the cosmos stage. For that, you must have emperor-level talent.â
Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief.
The first test isnât so difficult. I just need to have emperor-level talent.
âThe second trial will test your ability and intelligence. After some careful consideration, weâve decided to send you to the Flaming River World for this trial,â the elder continued slowly.
âThe Flaming River World?!â Wang Teng was confused.
What is the Flaming River World?
The head of the chamber noticed Wang Tengâs confusion and explained, âThe Flaming River World is a small world left behind by a martial warrior at the peak of the universe stage after he died.â
It was a simple explanation. There was nothing else.
A world left behind by a universe-stage martial warrior.?Wang Teng took a deep breath. He was dumbfounded.
He understood what a universe-stage martial warrior represented after entering the universe.
People at that level grasped a part of the origin of the world. They possessed a small fraction of the ability to create a world, but the world they created wouldnât be complete. Hence, it was called a small world.
You could only become a universe martial warrior if you managed to create your own small world.
After a universe-stage martial warrior died, the small world in their bodies would normally perish along with them. However, there was a slight chance that it might survive.
The probability was small, so every single small world left was precious.
The small worlds were all created based on the real world. There were many fortuitous encounters inside, and some universe-stage martial warriors even hid their treasures there. This was a good trial ground.
Normally, after these small worlds were discovered, they would become the training ground for various factions. Their disciples would get the chance to enter these worlds to gain experience.
The Flaming River World was one such small world possessed by the Great Qian Empire.
âAlso, Cao Hongtu has achieved many military exploits, so he does have the right to inherit the baronâs title. We canât deprive him of this right.â The head opened his mouth again after a moment of silence.
Wang Tengâs gaze flickered. His heart sank.
