Chapter 909: Reluctantly
Clive didn’t have a good first impression of w.a.n.g Teng. He felt that this boy loved to put on an act!
The worse thing was, he could do it better than him. Clive couldn’t accept this. As an elite from a powerful Great Qian Empire family, he never lost to anyone when it came to putting on an act!
Yet he got defeated by w.a.n.g Teng. It wasn’t a big deal, but he was unhappy for an entire day. He didn’t expect to see w.a.n.g Teng again when he came out to look for Olivia in the evening. To top it off, he was with her.
This made him even more unhappy.
Olivia was a beautiful lady and was as talented as him. They were childhood friends, so they had a strong relations.h.i.+p. Their families intended to make them a couple.
As a man, he naturally felt uncomfortable when he saw Olivia hanging out with w.a.n.g Teng.
Clive thought for a moment and came up with a plan.
“Olivia, why is he here?” he asked Olivia first.
“My cousin asked me to bring him out,” Olivia replied without turning around.
w.a.n.g Teng heard their conversation, but he didn’t look back at them. His gaze was fixed on the battle, completely disregarding them.
…
Clive was quite powerful. He had reached the sixth level of the planetary stage while only 21 years old. He was talented. But to w.a.n.g Teng, someone like him wouldn’t drop any good attribute bubbles. Thus, even though he sensed something amiss with his tone, he was too lazy to care about him.
However, that didn’t mean that the other party would let him go easily.
w.a.n.g Teng was Di Qi’s guest. Clive didn’t dare to do anything outrageous, but he probably wouldn’t offend Di Qi if he embarra.s.sed w.a.n.g Teng a bit, right?
Clive was a little furious because w.a.n.g Teng never looked back at him. However, he suppressed his emotions and walked toward him. He wanted to understand this person better.
“We met during the day. My name is Clive. What’s yours?” He opened his mouth first.
“w.a.n.g Teng!” w.a.n.g Teng placed his hands behind his back and continued watching the duel intently. His tone was indifferent.
He was enlightened by the way the wind-element martial warrior used his wind Force. This was a celestial-stage martial warrior. His ability shouldn’t be underestimated.
Clive pouted uncontrollably when he saw his att.i.tude. He continued asking, “Where are you from? You seem to have a good relations.h.i.+p with Master Di Qi.”
w.a.n.g Teng knew that this fellow was trying to dig out his background. He thought for some time before giving Clive a meaningful smile. “I hail from a remote planet. I have no background. It’s not worth mentioning.”
Clive didn’t believe him. How could he receive such treatment from Di Qi if he came from a remote planet? Did he think he was three years old?
“You must be joking!”
w.a.n.g Teng shrugged. Although he had spoken the truth, no one believed him. Was it his fault?
“Brother w.a.n.g, are you interested in duels? Why don’t you go up and try? I can help you find a compatible opponent,” Clive smiled and said.
“Oh?” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes lit up.

He could guess that Clive had an ulterior motive. Now, he knew what it was. He wasn’t worried though. Instead, he felt a little excited.
He should get his attributes personally!
He was wondering if he should find someone for a duel. He was unfamiliar with this planet, so it might be awkward if he suddenly asked someone to fight with him. It was great that someone was willing to help him.
“Sure, you can arrange it. Clive, you’re a good man.” w.a.n.g Teng patted Clive’s shoulder and praised him with a smile.
Clive, who was suddenly given the good-man card, was stunned. What’s wrong with this fellow? Why did he say that I’m a good man? Is there something wrong with his mind?
Either way, he achieved his aim. He smiled and said, “Brother w.a.n.g, why don’t you tell me your ability so that I can arrange for a compet.i.tor at a similar stage?”
“I can deal with anyone below the third-level celestial stage,” w.a.n.g Teng replied casually.
“Third-level celestial stage!” Clive was shocked.
w.a.n.g Teng was extremely young. If he could fight with martial warriors at the third-level celestial stage or lower, he could be considered extremely gifted. He was even more talented than Yin Hai.
Olivia turned and glanced at w.a.n.g Teng uncontrollably when she heard his words. She seemed astounded and curious at the same time. She didn’t know if he was boasting or if he honestly possessed such strength.
He might be lying. But that suits me. Clive smiled.
He wanted to embarra.s.s w.a.n.g Teng, so he would find stronger opponents. Anyway, he was the one who said that he could deal with anyone below the third-level celestial stage. If he was tormented, it wouldn’t be his fault.
“Don’t fool around. My cousin will scold me if you get beaten,” Olivia frowned and said.
w.a.n.g Teng was exasperated. “Don’t worry, even if I got beaten, I won’t let you carry the blame. I’ll explain to your cousin.”
“Alright.” Olivia nodded with ease. She gave him an ‘I tried to persuade him but he didn’t listen’ look.
Silence.
So insincere.
She didn’t show any sincerity at all!
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t know what to say. He turned around and ignored her.
Clive started looking for opponents for him. He knew many people, and a few of them were at the celestial stage. They could satisfy w.a.n.g Teng’s requirements.
Sometime later, he came back with a brown-skinned young man who looked like a brown bear. The bear race was one of the many races in the universe.
“This is Senior Dale, a first-level celestial-stage martial warrior. What do you think? Do you want to fight with him?” Clive asked w.a.n.g Teng.
“Celestial stage first level? I’ll accept it reluctantly.” w.a.n.g Teng glanced at the bear race young man and nodded.
“Reluctantly?” Dale squinted.
He sized up w.a.n.g Teng and noticed that his aura wasn’t powerful. He was at most at the planetary stage.
He had agreed with Clive to fight with w.a.n.g Teng because he was offered some benefits. If not, he wouldn’t have bothered with this planetary-stage martial warrior.
But his opponent was looking down on him.
“Your friend is quite arrogant.” Dale scoffed.
“Senior Dale, this young friend is Master Di Qi’s guest. He’s extremely experienced, so…” Clive didn’t complete his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
w.a.n.g Teng was arrogant.
Are you unhappy?
If you are, beat him up!
“We’ll know what his strength is like after the duel.” Dale was straightforward.
w.a.n.g Teng ignored their conversation and continued looking at the duel on the stage.
The fight was coming to an end. After a round of attacks, Yin Hai’s sword managed to stop inches away from his opponent’s throat. He won.
Yin Hai’s opponent walked down the arena dejectedly. However, Yin Hai continued to stand in place. He glanced around him and suddenly fixed his gaze on w.a.n.g Teng.
