Complete Martial Arts Attributes Chapter 1498

1498 Duel Round Starts! Seating Arrangement! (1)
The Third Prince was furious!
Wang Teng didn’t show him an ounce of respect.
He didn’t expect the latter to be so disrespectful. He didn’t even hesitate when he talked back.
Furthermore, there was a sense of mockery in the fellow’s tone.
Is he looking down on me?
!!
Since he was the Great Qian Empire’s Third Prince, a noble grown used to being high above others. Not once had he experienced the feeling of being humiliated.
The Second Prince and the others were also astonished, and stopped their cultivation.
The elder prince’s face changed somewhat as he said in a low voice, “Third Prince, do you know what you’re doing?”
He had just established a good rapport with Wang Teng, but now his little brother was stirring things up. All his efforts would go to waste if Wang Teng ended up wanting to vent his anger on the imperial family.
Being a greatly valued talent, even by the Virtual Universe Corporation, there was no reason for the Great Qian Empire to give up on him.
However, the younger prince was cultivating elsewhere when they talked about Wang Teng’s contract with the Virtual Universe Corporation. The young noble was infuriated by his brother’s criticism. “Brother, mind your own business!”
“You!” The Second Prince’s face darkened. He didn’t expect the latter to be that clueless.
He had clearly seen Wang Teng’s performance in the first round. Even an idiot would want to establish a good relationship with such a talent.
And yet, the Third Prince didn’t care, and even went as far as to provoke the young hero. What is he thinking?
“Second Prince, don’t mind him.” Wang Teng stopped the Second Prince and looked at the offender. “Third Prince, the Oceanic Unicorn Whale’s horn is very useful to me. No need to think about it anymore; I won’t give it to you.”
He paused for a while and continued with a calm tone, “Oh right. I have some words to give you.
“People should keep a modest attitude. Others might fear you, but not me!”
He wasn’t speaking in a loud voice, but there was clear intent. He made eye contact with the arrogant noble with a calm grin, revealing his eerily white teeth.
“You…” The noble felt a chill in his spine for some reason. The chills moved to the rest of his body, and then he took a step back. His fear turned into anger as he said, “You have guts.”
“I’ve always had guts.” Wang Teng nodded in agreement.
The Third Prince choked for a moment, feeling he was just pummeling a ball of cotton. It was frustrating.
The older prince gave the young hero a weird look. This fellow really knows how to mock others. Those words stung.
The Third Prince took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He left behind a short sentence and walked away. “Good!”
Wang Teng said, “Third Prince, stop selling your favors in the future. They only mean something if others are willing to take them seriously. Otherwise, they’re worth nothing.”
The younger prince’s face turned black as he paused for a moment. He clenched his fists and kept walking, not looking back.
On the other hand, everyone looked at Wang Teng. This fellow is really sarcastic.
All the people present belonged to elite families, and had a more or less similar attitude as the parting Prince. They didn’t really hold much regard for people of lower status.
Very few people were able to confront them.
However, they weren’t as irritable as the Third Prince.
Wang Teng was different. Although not born a noble, he was a fellow with great potential. Even they would have to be cautious around him.
The Second Prince looked at his brother’s retreating back and shook his head. “My brother has always been like this. He’s too arrogant; don’t take it to heart.”
“I won’t take it to heart if he doesn’t trouble me,” Wang Teng replied.
“I’ll bring this up with the elders when I go back. They will handle this.” The prince smiled bitterly. “All the princes are always competing; no one can control the other.”
Wang Teng nodded in silence.
“Wang Teng, are you… okay?” Situ Wan’er asked via voice transmission.
“Don’t worry. It’s nothing,” he replied, using the same means. He noticed her worried look.
Those words weren’t suitable to be said directly in front of the Second Prince, which was why she had asked him in private.
Likewise, Song Yicheng, Lu Jing and the others also contacted him with voice transmissions. After all, that had been a clash with the Third Prince; offending him wasn’t a good thing.
Wang Teng didn’t care about the stubborn noble. However, he still replied to them since they were showing concern.
On the other hand, Ji Haochen and Timothy weren’t worried about appearances and asked directly. They had the confidence, being members of the dukedoms.
Everyone was shaken up after the commotion with the angry noble. It was only after a while that everyone went back to cultivating.
…
Time flew and ten days passed in a flash!
It was time for the duels to start.
At eight o’clock, Battle Planet time—the powerful and majestic voice resounded in the sky once more.
“The dueling round… begins!
“All participants, get ready and go to the Battle Planet!”
The participants opened their eyes and stood up as they stopped their cultivation, then looked at their potential opponents. Their battle intent could be felt.
The second round was finally about to begin!
The Second Prince, Ji Haochen and the others also stopped cultivating and exchanged glances. Their competitiveness could be seen in their eyes.
They had previously been talking and laughing together. But now that the competition continued, they would have to go all out.
