1438 A Chance Encounter! A Genius Gathering! (2)
The Devouring Nihility Beast’s memory was also helpful, as it was full of secret and mysterious information, so he took out a few tidbits of information to stun Situ Wan’er.
“Oh right, why didn’t Duke Situ come with you?” w.a.n.g Teng suddenly remembered.
“My father made the trip two days ago. I was out cultivating, so we didn’t travel together,” the lady said.
“I see.”
!!
Time pa.s.sed quickly as they chatted. Their s.h.i.+ps got closer and closer to the Battle Planet.
A vast and black planet floated silently in the void.
It was a thousand times bigger than the earth.
It was hard to imagine that such a gigantic giant planet was a planet with countless living creatures.
However, due to its special environment, it was unsuitable for normal warriors to survive. That was the main reason it was chosen as the venue for the League of Talents.
Countless battlecrafts and universe s.p.a.cecrafts were densely populating the surrounding s.p.a.ce, creating a majestic scene.
They belonged to all the people from the Great Qian Empire who went to watch the compet.i.tion.
A myriad of powerful universe fleets were docked in a circle, just outside the planet.
The special symbols of the military were etched on those battles.h.i.+ps.
Sharp!
Stern!
It was obviously part of the Great Qian Empire’s military fleet.
They were there to maintain order during the League of Talents and protect the talented martial warriors.
Being the most powerful and just faction in the empire, the matter would land in their hands.
“There are many talents from all the planetary sectors of the empire. I saw many people walking into the partic.i.p.ants waiting area. There seems to be more than in previous years.”
“Yeah, I just got here, and I’ve already seen a few hundred talents enter.
“They’re not mere talents. Some are top performers of their planetary sectors.”
…
The League of Talents had yet to start, but the discussions were already heating up.
The live broadcasting cameras were fixed on all the different talents, presenting each of their origins to the audience.
“That looks like Ferenas from planet Nars. Someone saw him kill a powerful mid-tier star beast of the imperial level!”
“Oh my G.o.d, a celestial warrior killing a star beast of that level? That’s equivalent to the cosmos stage!”
“Come on, it’s normal for a real talent to kill beings of a higher stage.”
“Hmph, Ferenas? Feng Yushan, the talent from our Fengnan Planet fought with two cosmos warriors on his own. He’s much stronger!”
“What? A celestial warrior fought with two cosmos fighters? Are you kidding?”
“Kidding? Ask anyone. Who doesn’t know about our Feng Yushan’s achievements! How could I joke about this?”
“Scary! That’s what a real talent is?”
“I must be a fake celestial warrior.”
…
There was a special platform in the virtual universe where the audience could talk with one another. They started arguing even before the compet.i.tion started, especially triggered upon the arrival of the talents.
The talents immediately became the center of attention. All of them possessed the ability to defeat enemies of a higher stage.
In the eyes of a normal warrior, defeating foes of one or two levels above them was good enough.
Fighting with beings a whole stage higher was unimaginable.
Still, it seemed commonplace when it came to those talented warriors. All of them possessed the strength to deal with greater enemies.
The formidable martial warriors were the sole onlookers who appeared indifferent upon seeing the young talents arrive.
Only those who could beat contenders of a stage higher had a chance to stand out from the crowd. Anything else would be useless.
Suddenly, a commotion started among the audience on the Battle Planet.
Approximately 100,000 miles away in outer s.p.a.ce, ripples started to form in the void, similar to a pebble being thrown into the water.
Then, a giant universe s.p.a.cecraft emerged, which sped towards the famous planet.
More than ten cosmos-rank s.h.i.+ps followed closely behind, acting like bodyguards.
“A universe level s.p.a.cecraft!”
“That’s one of the eight great dukes from the big families, he’s part of the Parkers. Look at the fire dragon emblem on their s.h.i.+ps! That’s their family coat of arms.”
“Gasp, one of the eight dukes!”
“They’re finally here. I wonder who the Parkers family will send this time.”
“There hasn’t been any news from them for the past few years. They might be grooming talents in secret!”
…
The atmosphere heated up with the arrival of the prestigious family.
It was one of the mysterious, high and mighty eight dukes from the big families. Normal martial warriors would never have the chance to meet them. They were only known from legends told about them; the audience was extremely excited to see them in person.
A bald and muscular elder with a fire symbol on his forehead stood in front of the big s.h.i.+p’s commanding station.
Two heaven stage warriors from the Parkers, Valteru and Sinclamon, were standing behind him.
Further behind was Andrais and a few unfamiliar faces. All of them were giving off a powerful aura.
All of them were at the celestial stage, and yet, Andrais was wary of remaining too close to them. He kept a polite distance.
“Strachey! Landon!…” said the bald elder.
“Ancestor!” The unfamiliar youths greeted the elder with respect.
“The Battle Planet is just ahead. Our family spent a lot of resources to groom you. I hope you won’t disappoint me, or the family,” the bald elder said.
“Yes!” everyone shouted with stern expressions.
“Good!” The bald elder nodded. He continued, “We are the Parkers family. The glory of our family is in your hands. Our family has always managed to have our descendants accepted by the Seven Stellar Academies in the past; we sent one in the previous League of Talents. This time, we have brought many good seedlings. The whole family is astounded by the result. I hope that more of you can make it to those great inst.i.tutions.”
“We will definitely do our best!” the young warriors shouted, fighting spirits in an all time high.
The bald elder looked at the youths with satisfaction. He laughed happily.
