1656 Arrival at the Seven Stellar Academies!
When the group of eternal stage martial warriors heard that Sikong The Second had caught several silver-scaled yellowfish, their immediate response was to think about dividing the benefits among themselves.
The silver-scaled yellowfish seemed extremely attractive to them.
“Don’t even think about it. I don’t even have enough silver-scaled yellowfish for myself. Why will I give them to you?” Sikong The Second snorted. He expected this scene.
“F**k, you bitch, you did it on purpose!” Shu Chu cursed uncontrollably.
This bastard said it to make them envious!
“Hahaha…” Sikong The Second burst out laughing.
“Brother Sikong, this is too much. Why don’t you share the good stuff with everyone? You have four silver-scaled yellowfish, right? Keep three of them and share the three-meter-long one with us.” The eternal stage martial warrior who caught the Black Blade Fish, Geng Zhizhen, said earnestly, “I can use this Black Blade Fish to trade with you.”
“No. What use do I have for the Black Knife Fish? It won’t be of any help to me,” Sikong The Second refused without hesitation.
“The Black Knife Fish can be used to strengthen the physical bodies of the younger generation. How can you say it’s useless?” Geng Zhizhen, being straightforward, expressed his dissatisfaction.
“It’s not as good as my silver-scaled yellowfish,” Sikong The Second said proudly.
“Alright, can’t you tell? He’s just boasting in front of us.” Shu Chu said angrily, “What’s so great about it? Let me catch a few later.”
“Hehe, well then, go ahead and fish. If you manage to catch something, I’ll admit you’re skilled.” Sikong The Second smiled.
The others knew that Sikong The Second wouldn’t take it out so they all scorned him severely.
“So what did Wang Teng catch?” An eternal stage martial warrior covered with purple scales asked.
“That’s right. What did he catch? How can it be even more precious than your four silver-scaled yellowfish!” The others were curious too.
“He caught a Lightning Spirit!” Sikong The Second didn’t leave them hanging any longer.
“Lightning Spirit!”
Even as eternal stage martial warriors, they couldn’t help but feel shocked when they heard about Thunder Spirit, a being born and nurtured by heaven and earth.
“Are you kidding?” Shu Chu frowned as he looked at Sikong The Second.
“If you don’t believe me, call him up and ask him personally,” Sikong replied.
“Alright, call him over. We old folks are also curious to see what this Thunder Spirit looks like,” Geng Zhizhen said.
Sikong The Second immediately acted. He shouted, “Wang Teng, come up.”
Wang Teng was chatting with everyone when he heard Sikong The Second’s voice. He was stunned and looked up.
The others also glanced at the instructors in surprise before turning to look at Wang Teng.
It looked like the eternal stage instructors were looking for Wang Teng.
Many people were envious. Getting on the Star Rankings was truly remarkable. Even eternal stage instructors were paying much attention to him.
“I’ll go up and take a look,” Wang Teng said to the Second Prince and the others before flying to the upper deck.
“Why do you think the instructor called Wang Teng?” Ji Haochen couldn’t help but ask.
“Who knows? Maybe they want to take a look at the talent who entered the Star Rankings,” the Second Prince, Yu Yuanrui, said.
Wang Teng came to the upper deck.
The eternal stage martial warriors sized him up. His heart skipped a beat and he felt a little nervous.
Only at a close distance could he understand the pressure that this group of eternal stage martial warriors brought to him, even though they didn’t show any hint of the imposing aura.
However, the difference in their stages still made people uncomfortable.
“Wang Teng, take out the Lightning Spirit you caught and show it to the instructors,” Sikong The Second said directly.
Wang Teng was taken aback for a moment and gave Sikong The Second a speechless look. Was he using his Lightning Spirit to show off?
It was quite audacious for a mentor to engage in such behavior. His skin was honestly thick!
However, since the other party had spoken and there were so many eternal stage instructors watching, he could only take out the Lightning Spirit.
“Squeak!”
The round little Lightning Spirit appeared in front of everyone.
It didn’t know what happened so it thought that it was time to eat. It squeaked happily and prepared to receive the food.
But, there was nothing. There was only a bunch of wolf-like gazes.
All those eternal stage mentors were gazing at the Lightning Spirit with shining eyes as if they discovered a precious treasure.
“Squeak!”
The Lightning Spirit jumped in fright when it saw a bunch of eternal stage martial warriors staring at it. It jumped onto Wang Teng’s head and shivered in fear.
When it was caught by Wang Teng, it didn’t dare to act rashly because he got frightened by Sikong The Second. Now, there were even more eternal level martial warriors staring at him. This feeling was terrifying.
“Hahaha, this little creature got frightened by y’all.” Sikong The Second burst out laughing.
Wang Teng was speechless. Why was the Lightning Spirit hugging his head? He felt as if he was wearing a hat.
After comforting it, the Lightning Spirit knew that there was no danger. It flew down obediently and landed on Wang Teng’s palm.
“Indeed, it’s a Lightning Spirit. There’s a powerful lightning Force in its body!” Shu Chu exclaimed. “And its intelligence is not low.”
“It’s a newborn Lightning Spirit. Did you really catch it?” Geng Zhizhen asked in disbelief.
“Yes, I caught it in the void torrent belt. Instructor Sikong wanted to have a duel with me, but I accidentally caught a Lightning Spirit. It was all luck,” Wang Teng said in a humble tone.
But, to everyone, this wasn’t what they heard.
This guy is a show-off too!
No wonder Sikong The Second managed to get him over to his side. Birds of a feather flock together.
“You’re really lucky. I’ve never seen anyone who can catch a naturally occurring spiritual life form like the Lightning Spirit in the void torrent belt,” Geng Zhizhen shook his head and lamented.
The others were amazed too. They looked at Wang Teng in a different light.
It looked like the talents who were able to enter the Star Rankings were indeed extraordinary.
Wang Teng felt that he was able to catch the Lightning Spirit because he possessed the Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning. All the credit should go to the system as it helped him to pick up the Heaven-Earth Calamity Lightning.
But, in the eyes of these eternal stage martial warriors, it represented a long-lasting fortune.
People who possessed such fortune often had the ability to go much further in their endeavors.
Now, they believed that Wang Teng might be one of those individuals so their attitude towards him became better.
A talented individual with such a long-lasting fortune had boundless potential in the future. They didn’t mind establishing some positive connections with him right now.
Of course, that was it. Eternal stage martial warriors wouldn’t curry favor with a young martial warrior.
As the saying goes, a prodigy was just a prodigy and means nothing until they had grown and accomplished something significant.
If Wang Teng knew what they were thinking, he might laugh out loud.
Imaginary assumptions were deadly!
Sikong The Second smiled when he saw this scene.
He had done everything he could. Venturing down the multi-Forces path would require a significant amount of resources and was a challenging route to take. Since he had already brought Wang Teng to the Seventh Stellar Academy, it was natural for him to hope that Wang Teng could go even further. Establishing connections was the first step towards that.
In the academy, eternal stage martial warriors were at the top of the pyramid. If he could gain the favor of these eternal stage martial warriors, Wang Teng would face fewer difficulties in the academy in the future.
After chatting for some time, Sikong The Second asked Wang Teng to leave.
Wang Teng felt regretful. He was wondering if Sikong The Second would give him another chance to fish, but that opportunity went down the drain.
Such opportunities were hard to come by.
In the future, he wouldn’t be able to fish here unless he got a warship and a fishing rod that could be used to fish in the Chaotic Star Sea.
However, he quickly realized the true intentions behind Sikong Second’s actions. Revealing the Lightning Spirit was just a catalyst. In reality, Sikong The Second wanted him to make an appearance in front of these eternal stage instructors, paving the way for his future cultivation journey at the stellar academy.
“This instructor is really…” Wang Teng smiled and shook his head. He felt grateful.
Wang Teng returned to Ji Haochen and the others. He noticed that they were looking at him curiously.
“Why are you looking at me?” Wang Teng asked.
“Wang Teng, did you cozy up to the eternal stage instructors?” Ji Haochen leaned over and whispered.
“How is that possible? Those are eternal stage martial warriors. It’s not easy to cozy up to them,” Wang Teng replied calmly.
“We saw it. You have a good relationship with the instructors,” Timothy said.
“You must have seen wrong. They just asked me some questions,” Wang Teng said.
“Wang Teng, this isn’t right. We’re all in this together, so when something good happens, you should share it with us. How can you enjoy all the benefits by yourself?” Ji Haochen suddenly hooked his arms around Wang Teng’s neck and said.
“Go away.” Wang Teng slapped him away. He didn’t tell them directly but used voice transmission, “I just went to show my face to the instructors. Don’t tell others.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up and they nodded.
They came from the same empire as Wang Teng so they had to stick together. The better Wang Teng became, the better their prospects would be in the future.
For the rest of the time, Wang Teng and the others cultivated on the warship. They didn’t roam around.
For those who came to the Chaotic Star Sea for the first time, it might indeed be intriguing at first. However, as they spent more time here, they realized that it was quite monotonous.
Of course, it would be more interesting if Wang Teng could fish every day like the instructors.
After all, there were always some peculiar and unexpected things being caught, much like opening a blind box. There might be surprises awaiting him.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On the third day, the warship vibrated slightly. Everyone who was cultivating in the cabin sensed something and rushed out. They came to the deck.
Ahead, within the vast and dreamlike ocean of energy, numerous celestial bodies revolved around a central point. Seven immensely colossal continents emerged before everyone’s eyes.
At the center of each continent, there stood a towering and majestic mountain peak, occupying almost half of the landmass. These peaks soar into the void, reaching an indiscernible height, shrouded in ethereal clouds and mist. They exuded a sense of grandeur and profound mystery.
Each continent was surrounded by a variety of celestial bodies, including planets, satellites, and stars, creating a truly magical and extraordinary sight.
“Everyone, we have arrived at the Seven Stellar Academies!” A voice was heard.
Wang Teng and the others look at each other in speechless astonishment, completely overwhelmed by the scene unfolding before them.
