Chapter 2386 Condensing the Buddha Tower Again! Coming Out of Seclusion! The Five Major Families' Speculation! (4)

Round Ball paused for a moment, its expression turning serious.

"I'm just a cosmos-stage warrior, yet they know I can kill universe-stage martial warriors and even withstand a blow from an eternal-stage existence. In the future, if anyone comes after me, they'll surely send even stronger warriors," w.a.n.g Teng explained.

"You don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't offend those strong enemies, powerful individuals won't target you," Round Ball rea.s.sured. "Moreover, with your current strength and extraordinary talent, many people see great potential in you and want to befriend you. As a result, you'll have more friends than enemies, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."

"You make a fair point, but it's too troublesome. I prefer to keep a low profile," w.a.n.g Teng replied.

"Low profile? There's n.o.body more high-profile than you!" Round Ball rolled its eyes. "Seriously."

"Cough!" w.a.n.g Teng couldn't help but cough. "I'm only high-profile because I'm forced to be."

Round Ball rolled its eyes again and continued, "In fact, every powerful prodigy has gone through this. Those who have reached the Star Rankings have all been heavily publicized, and their backgrounds have been thoroughly investigated. But their skills are always outstanding, and they eventually defeat all their enemies, standing at the peak."

"Those who can achieve this are truly exceptional prodigies!"

"Exceptional prodigy!" w.a.n.g Teng muttered to himself, a gleam of determination flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. His lips curved into a slight smile. "Well, considering the circ.u.mstances, I can only take it one step at a time."

Seeing his expression, Round Ball knew he was moved. n.o.body could resist the t.i.tle of "exceptional prodigy", especially w.a.n.g Teng, given his talent. Round Ball's words were true. Those who made it to the Star Rankings fought their way there. No one could hide and become stronger.

w.a.n.g Teng didn't rush to go out. Still bearing the marks of his recent injuries, he headed to the bathroom to take a shower, was.h.i.+ng away the blood and sweat. Soon, he emerged feeling refreshed.

Once again, he was a handsome young man with a pleasant fragrance.

"Let's go out. The people of the Five Burial Stars must be getting impatient," w.a.n.g Teng chuckled, opening the door and stepping outside.

As he entered the grand hall, Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun swiftly approached, drawn by the news.

"Brother w.a.n.g Teng, you're finally out. How's your recovery?" Yizang Xinnuo inquired with immediate concern upon seeing w.a.n.g Teng.

"I've fully recovered. No need to worry," w.a.n.g Teng replied casually, a faint smile gracing his lips.

"That's good to hear!" Yizang Xinnuo glanced over w.a.n.g Teng, relieved but also astounded. The speed of his recovery was remarkable. The strength of w.a.n.g Teng's physical body was truly formidable. No wonder he could withstand a blow from an eternal-stage ruler.

"Your health seems excellent," Shouzang Caiyun remarked, also noting w.a.n.g Teng's rapid recuperation. However, her thoughts swiftly took a mischievous turn, her eyes momentarily grazing w.a.n.g Teng's chest before she giggled.

Yizang Xinnuo:

w.a.n.g Teng: Why does her tone seem rather peculiar?

"Pfft, w.a.n.g Teng, she's hinting she wants to sleep with you." Round Ball chuckled.

w.a.n.g Teng:

What a female rogue!

Also, Round Ball was becoming increasingly brazen and spouted such lewd remarks without hesitation.

Where did that pure intelligent lifeform go?

Yizang Xinnuo shot Shouzang Caiyun a disapproving glare, her face flus.h.i.+ng slightly, hastily s.h.i.+fting the conversation, "w.a.n.g Teng, the elders requested to speak with you when you wake up."

"That's expected," w.a.n.g Teng replied without surprise, a faint smile playing on his lips. He nodded, then inquired directly, "Where can I meet them?"

"They'll come in person," Yizang Xinnuo informed him, "I'll notify them now."

With that, she opened her wrist.w.a.tch in front of w.a.n.g Teng, contacting the elders of the five major families.

w.a.n.g Teng nodded to himself.

The conduct of Yizang Xinnuo made him exceedingly comfortable. She sought permission before acting, giving ample respect by informing the elders of the five major families only after securing his agreement.

Although it was just a small detail, the more detailed, the more it impressed me.

Moreover, the five major families accorded him due respect. Originally, upon hearing that the eternal-stage elders of the five major families wished to meet him, it would have been expected for him to visit them. However, they surprised him by choosing to come in person.

Such an att.i.tude took w.a.n.g Teng by surprise.

"w.a.n.g Teng, it seems your plan has succeeded," Round Ball remarked.

"Mm!" w.a.n.g Teng's heart stirred with a faint smile. Indeed, from the current perspective, the plan had succeeded remarkably well.

Once again, he expressed his grat.i.tude to the Heishan Royal Clan.

The eternal-stage elders of the five major families, as well as several family heads, soon arrived together, appearing in Yizang Xinnuo's manor.

"Councilor w.a.n.g Teng, it appears your recovery is quite satisfactory. We are relieved." A hint of surprise flickered in the elder's eyes upon seeing w.a.n.g Teng for the first time, followed by a warm smile.

"Thank you for your concern. I am fully recovered," w.a.n.g Teng replied with a smile.

"Your talent is indeed astonis.h.i.+ng. The geniuses of our families pale in comparison," another eternal-stage elder marveled.

Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and the others came too. Hearing the elder's words, they glanced at w.a.n.g Teng, their expressions complex, yet devoid of any hint of resentment.

They no longer harbored any thoughts of comparison upon seeing w.a.n.g Teng.

This fellow was a prodigy; they couldn't compare themselves to a prodigy.

"You flatter me too much!" w.a.n.g Teng quickly responded with humility.

During the conversation, the elders invited w.a.n.g Teng to take a seat, and the atmosphere was remarkably harmonious. There was no trace of the prior rejection towards w.a.n.g Teng.

"Councilor w.a.n.g Teng, allow me to introduce you. These are the eternal-stage elders of our five major families. This is" Hengzang Chuan glanced at w.a.n.g Teng with a complex expression and began the introductions.

w.a.n.g Teng learned the names of these elders.

Typically, a cosmos-stage martial warrior like him did not qualify to know the names of eternal-stage powerhouses.

However, his status was exceptional, coupled with his indebtedness to the five major families, granting him the privilege of being informed.

Moreover, these eternal-stage elders of the five major families held w.a.n.g Teng in high regard, appreciating his talent and strength. They didn't mind sharing their names with w.a.n.g Teng.

After the introductions, the discussion turned to more serious matters.

"Councilor w.a.n.g Teng, are you aware of the news about the destruction of the Black Skull Universe Pirates fleet?" Hengzang Bo, an elder of the Hengzang Family, inquired.

As he posed the question, his gaze remained fixed on w.a.n.g Teng's face as if trying to discern something.

Others also regarded him with strange expressions, their intentions completely inscrutable.

"I've heard about it." w.a.n.g Teng nodded.

"Is that all? Don't you have any thoughts on the matter?" Hengzang Bo asked with some surprise and suspicion.

"Thoughts?" w.a.n.g Teng was puzzled. "What thoughts could I possibly have?"

"Erm" Hengzang Bo looked at w.a.n.g Teng's expression and found himself somewhat at a loss. He couldn't discern w.a.n.g Teng's true thoughts.

"Well, if you insist on my thoughts, I do have some." w.a.n.g Teng rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "The Black Skull Universe Pirates are not good people. They are too arrogant. Their destruction was inevitable. Therefore, one should strive to be modest and honest in life."

"Gasp!" The audience couldn't help but inhale sharply at his words.
