Chapter 2467 Gu Luo In White! Gu Hong Territorial Domain! Top Three! (2)
"The Firebear Tribe!" Grandmaster Alfred and the others glanced unexpectedly at the muscular man.
The Firebear Tribe was known for their exceptional talent in fire manipulation and physical prowess, making them particularly adept at forging.
However, due to their scarce numbers, encounters with members of this tribe were rare.
It was quite surprising that the Namoss Empire had managed to cultivate a Firebear blacksmith, truly exceeding expectations.
"Well, Grandmaster Alfred, what do you think? Our prodigies from the Namoss Empire are all under 200 years old. How do they compare to the prodigies of your Great Qian Empire?" Dobin"s gaze once again swept over the group of young grandmasters behind Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others as he spoke with a smile.
"The prodigies of the Namoss Empire are indeed remarkably young, broadening our horizons," Grandmaster Alfred and the others exclaimed in admiration.
"The Namoss Empire"s heritage is indeed profound, to have nurtured such young prodigies in secondary professions. We are truly inferior," Grandmaster Hua Yuan shook his head in acknowledgment.
"It seems that our Great Qian Empire may lose this time. We are completely unable to compete with your esteemed empire," Grandmaster Mo De lamented with a look of regret.
Dobin: …
Dobin was taken aback by the praise and lamentation from the grandmasters of the Great Qian Empire.
This didn"t make sense!
Something was amiss!
When did these old folks from the Great Qian Empire change their tune? And it wasn"t just one or two of them, but all of them had changed their tune.
A strange atmosphere pervaded the surroundings.
But few could perceive it.
Feeling rather bored with the situation, Grandmaster Dobin gave a cold snort. "Since you all don"t seem inclined to introduce any of the young prodigies from the Great Qian Empire, let"s leave it at that. We"ll see how things unfold at the exchange meeting."
"Oh dear, you"ve misunderstood. It"s not that we don"t want to introduce them, but rather, we"re embarra.s.sed to do so. Compared to the prodigies of your Namoss Empire, the ages of our talents from the Great Qian Empire are simply too old to be impressive," Grandmaster Alfred explained.
"Hmph!" Dobin didn"t believe a word of his nonsense and promptly departed with his entourage.
"Safe travels, Grandmaster Dobin," Grandmaster Alfred called after them. "And to all the prodigies of the Namoss Empire, we"ll see you at the exchange summit."
Silence.
Dobin stumbled for a moment, nearly tripping over his own feet, consumed by frustration.
He couldn"t believe how his attempt at flaunting had turned out. Not only did he fail to experience the joy of boasting, but he also ended up feeling thoroughly annoyed.
Watching the retreating figures of the Namoss Empire, Grandmaster Alfred and his companions finally burst into laughter, finding the situation rather amusing.
"A hundred-year-old prodigy dares to call himself young," chuckled Grandmaster Gaunt.
"If it weren"t for Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, we wouldn"t dare say such things. Those three prodigies from the Namoss Empire are indeed quite young," Grandmaster Hua Yuan said, his smile fading. "Looks like they"ve come well-prepared this time."
The laughter among the grandmasters of the Great Qian Empire gradually subsided. Grandmaster Hua Yuan was right. The Namoss Empire wouldn"t be easy to deal with this time.
"Grandmasters, there"s no need to worry. Although those three are young, their accomplishments may not necessarily surpa.s.s ours," a grandmaster spoke up.
This was a grandmaster from the Great Qian Empire who would be partic.i.p.ating in the exchange summit. Approaching the age of 200, he wasn"t as young as the prodigies from the Namoss Empire, but it was precisely because of this that he harbored a burning desire to prove himself.
"Grandmaster Xie Jia!" Grandmaster Hua Yuan nodded. "We trust in your abilities. We leave the exchange summit in your capable hands."
"Grandmaster Hua Yuan, although we may not be as young as Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng, we"ve been grandmasters for many years. We"ve prepared extensively for this exchange summit and believe we"re more than capable of achieving good results," another young master with long black hair remarked calmly.
"Grandmaster Luo Tang is right. We will not embarra.s.s the Secondary Career Alliance branch of the Great Qian Empire," a female grandmaster with long golden hair said.
These grandmasters were all representing the Great Qian Empire at the exchange summit. They listened as Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others discussed about w.a.n.g Teng throughout the journey. However, in reality, their understanding of w.a.n.g Teng was limited, mostly confined to the information on paper. Deep down, they felt a bit resentful, especially when Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others emphasized his youthfulness, which made them uncomfortable.
"We have full confidence in the abilities of all the grandmasters. We hope each of you will s.h.i.+ne brightly at the exchange meeting," Grandmaster Alfred said with a glint in his eye, smiling.
For the Secondary Career Alliance, once one reached the level of grandmaster, their status was equal, with little difference. Perhaps the only distinction lay in their connections and experience.
Young grandmasters naturally had fewer connections and less experience compared to those who had gained fame long ago.
However, Grandmaster Alfred and the others didn"t rely solely on their seniority. They treated these young grandmasters with kindness and respect.
After all, their potential was immense, and who could say what the future held?
If they remained at the level of grandmaster without advancing to the level of saint, these young masters" achievements in the future might well surpa.s.s theirs.
Of course, it was only a possibility.
For every grandmaster, reaching the saint level was a daunting challenge, akin to a carp leaping over the dragon"s gate.
However, regardless of their courteous and friendly demeanor, they remained closer to w.a.n.g Teng and consistently expressed their confidence in him.
