Chapter 2072 The Constellation Society Will Disband Today! (2)
Ding Jie could tell that this young man was just at the cosmos stage. He was likely a new student from an academy with the audacity to undertake missions.
He must have some degree of strength, as surviving a mission indicated a certain level of competence. Hence, he was a little overconfident.
As a senior, he felt a responsibility to teach his junior how to survive in the Stellar Academies.
Wang Teng's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the young man. With a sly curve at the corner of his mouth, he suddenly chuckled.
Ding Jie frowned, clearly disliking Wang Teng's smile.
He had seen this kind of smile on others, but they had been far more powerful than him. It was normal for them to look down on him. What right did this brat have??
"Leave!"
At that very moment, Wang Teng uttered a single, cold word.
Ding Jie's face darkened, and he was about to retort when, in mid-sentence, an overwhelming surge of power erupted from Wang Teng, cutting off his words.
Boom!
Ding Jie's expression changed slightly. He, along with several people behind him, was simultaneously pushed back several meters by the overwhelming force.
Wang Teng's current presence was far from ordinary. Even though he had appeared weak before the elder in the grand hall, he was entirely different when dealing with these individuals.
His physical body had grown immensely powerful, and the intimidating aura emanating from his body alone was more than an ordinary person could withstand.
"With this level of strength, you still want to bully a freshman?"
Wang Teng advanced step by step toward Ding Jie, his aura cascading like waves, layer upon layer pressing down upon him.
Ding Jie's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, his eyes filled with terror. He felt as though he was being stalked by a colossal beast, rendering him completely immobilized.
"Senior, times have changed. Go back and cultivate for a few years before coming to bully people."
Wang Teng passed by Ding Jie, patted his shoulder, and left behind these words before departing with Cang Yu and Little Qing'er.
A bead of cold sweat trickled from Ding Jie's forehead and into his eye, causing him to blink as he slowly regained his composure, his heart still filled with fear.
Where did this monster come from?
Such a terrifying aura!
Was he really at the cosmos stage?
A series of questions appeared in his mind. He contemplated Wang Teng's face and wondered when this monster appeared in Stellar Academies.
At that moment, someone behind him tugged at his clothing.
"Let's get out of here quickly. We've embarrassed ourselves this time!"
Ding Jie suddenly realized, looking around to find everyone reveling in his humiliation. His face alternated between shades of red and white, as he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
"Let's go!"
Ding Jie promptly led his group away, no longer able to face the situation.
There was a buzz of discussion from those around them.
"That young man just now, why does he seem a bit familiar? Like I've seen him somewhere before?"
"Now that you mention it, I feel the same way, he does look familiar."
"He's only at the cosmos stage but he managed to intimidate a heaven-stage martial warrior. It looks like he's not weak!"
"I wonder who he is. When did someone like him emerge among the new students?"
…
Ding Jie felt even more embarrassed, his face burning with humiliation. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and he resolved to thoroughly investigate the background of the person who had humiliated him once he returned.
On the other hand, Wang Teng continued to lead Cang Yu and Little Qing'er toward the academy's docking bay.
"Brother Wang Teng, what did that person say just now? It seemed like he was targeting us," Little Qing'er couldn't help but ask along the way.
"He wanted to buy you," Wang Teng replied with a smile.
"He wanted to buy us?" Little Qing'er's face contorted with anger, her fists clenched tightly. "Despicable, yet another person who looks down on us."
Cang Yu's eyes also displayed a hint of anger. When those people were watching them earlier, she felt the stares were extremely unpleasant, and it seemed that some still regarded them as livestock.
"Don't let it bother you. When we get to the Stellar Academies, your status will change," Wang Teng consoled them. "Moreover, the academy is home to various races. Once you integrate there, no one will look down on you anymore."
"Of course, the most important thing is your strength. As long as you're powerful enough, no one can bully you."
"Like the person from earlier, he's only at the heaven stage. Even among heaven-stage martial warriors, he's on the weaker side. I just used a bit of pressure and he got frightened."
"If your strength is formidable enough, you'll directly deter anyone from underestimating you. Some people just need a good thrashing."
Cang Yu and Little Qing'er wanted to laugh when they heard Wang Teng's words.
However, their expressions soon shifted to a contemplative look, and they nodded in agreement.
Throughout the journey, Round Ball also explained to them the enormity and significance of the Stellar Academies, an entity that seemed both daunting and promising.
In such a place, known for its inclusiveness, they might indeed find a way to truly integrate and escape being treated like mere livestock.
In truth, when they first heard of the Stellar Academies' existence, they couldn't fathom that their world served as nothing more than a mission site for the academy.
This was a little ironic!
The universe beyond was vast beyond their comprehension, teeming with countless powerful beings.
Even within the grand hall they had just left, an existence beyond their wildest imagination was present.
Faced with such an entity, Cang Yu had felt utterly powerless and incapable of even considering resistance.
At that time, she felt that she was going to die.
In that moment, she had grasped the foolishness of her previous convictions. How could she, in her ignorance, have aspired to oppose the extraterrestrial humans? She had no inkling of what they truly represented.
How could one possibly resist so many formidable beings alone?
