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," Wang 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 reassured. "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," Wang Teng replied.

"Low profile? There's nobody more high-profile than you!" Round Ball rolled its eyes. "Seriously."

"Cough!" Wang 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!" Wang Teng muttered to himself, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes. His lips curved into a slight smile. "Well, considering the circumstances, I can only take it one step at a time." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing his expression, Round Ball knew he was moved. Nobody could resist the title of "exceptional prodigy", especially Wang 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.

Wang Teng didn't rush to go out. Still bearing the marks of his recent injuries, he headed to the bathroom to take a shower, washing 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," Wang 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 Wang Teng, you're finally out. How's your recovery?" Yizang Xinnuo inquired with immediate concern upon seeing Wang Teng.

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

"That's good to hear!" Yizang Xinnuo glanced over Wang Teng, relieved but also astounded. The speed of his recovery was remarkable. The strength of Wang 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 Wang Teng's rapid recuperation. However, her thoughts swiftly took a mischievous turn, her eyes momentarily grazing Wang Teng's chest before she giggled.

Yizang Xinnuo: …

Wang Teng: Why does her tone seem rather peculiar?

"Pfft, Wang Teng, she's hinting she wants to sleep with you." Round Ball chuckled.

Wang 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 flushing slightly, hastily shifting the conversation, "Wang Teng, the elders requested to speak with you when you wake up."

"That's expected," Wang 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 wristwatch in front of Wang Teng, contacting the elders of the five major families.

Wang 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 attitude took Wang Teng by surprise.

"Wang Teng, it seems your plan has succeeded," Round Ball remarked.

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

Once again, he expressed his gratitude 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 Wang Teng, it appears your recovery is quite satisfactory. We are relieved." A hint of surprise flickered in the elder's eyes upon seeing Wang Teng for the first time, followed by a warm smile.

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

"Your talent is indeed astonishing. 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 Wang Teng, their expressions complex, yet devoid of any hint of resentment.

They no longer harbored any thoughts of comparison upon seeing Wang Teng.

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

"You flatter me too much!" Wang Teng quickly responded with humility.

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

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

Wang 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 Wang Teng in high regard, appreciating his talent and strength. They didn't mind sharing their names with Wang Teng.

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

"Councilor Wang 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 Wang 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." Wang Teng nodded.

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

"Thoughts?" Wang Teng was puzzled. "What thoughts could I possibly have?"

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

"Well, if you insist on my thoughts, I do have some." Wang 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.
