Chapter 1440 - 1440 Someone's Here to Fetch Me!
1440 Someone’s Here to Fetch Me!
The gigantic universe behemoth galloped in space and stepped out of the dimensional rift.
Its wings hung down over the sky, shimmering in gold. However, the creature’s fur was pitch-black, with crimson patterns all around.
It had muscular limbs and a long, thick tail. The savage-looking fangs protruded from a large mouth.
Sharp and bright gaze… It was a majestic beast with an unbeatable aura.
Many people were shocked by the beast’s momentum, making them tremble. That was their first time seeing a real universe behemoth.
Everyone was flabbergasted, stunned by the crown prince who chose to appear on top of the Golden Wing Crimson Celestial Tiger.
Even the eight dukedom families and the other princes were taken aback. They were all at a loss.
Roar!
The great tiger opened its enormous mouth and roared in space.
Then, under everyone’s gazes, it quickly shrunk to the size of a normal star beast. The process took place in the blink of an eye.
The crown prince remained stable on the back of the powerful creature.
The high-ranking tiger strode forth, then turned into a ray of golden light, traveling thousands of miles in a split second.
Everyone was finally able to see the crown prince’s face.
Black hair was fluttering behind his back. His face was extremely handsome, as if specially carved by heaven and earth.
A certain glow around his face made his appearance a little blurry, heightening his exceptional and unparalleled aura, making him seem like an immortal.
No wonder the ancestors from the imperial family said that the crown prince had the aura of a god!
Such looks and talent would certainly make people think he was a real god.
They were just rumors in the past; but all became true with his arrival.
Not everyone could tame a universe behemoth.
“Crown Prince!” someone shouted.
“Crown Prince!”
“Crown Prince!”
…
Shouts echoed in the region for a long time. Everyone was cheering for the prince.
The latter remained unmoved, as if no one were shouting his name.
He arrived in front of the military fleet on top of his great mount.
“Crown Prince!”
The princes wore different expressions when they saw him up close. But, they still bowed and greeted him properly.
By right, they were all from the imperial family, but instead of being addressed as relatives, they addressed the young man as ‘crown prince’!
The respect in their words was apparent.
The crown prince nodded and ordered his tiger to continue on their way.
The military fleet cleared a path for the latter as if welcoming him.
Not even the eight great families would receive that special treatment. It was enough to prove the crown prince’s high status.
The other princes followed closely after he entered the participants’ waiting area.
The crowd then was finally able to regain their composure and discussions erupted.
“The crown prince! That’s the legendary crown prince!”
“I’ve long heard of him. To think I’d be so lucky to see him in person today. It was worth coming to the League of Talents.”
“The crown prince’s aura is more powerful when compared to the talents from the eight big families. I couldn’t look at him straight.”
“It’s not just the eight dukes. Didn’t you see the other princes’ expressions? None of them can compare!”
“Those princes have exceptional auras, but the crown prince beats them all. No wonder the ancestors said he’s like an immortal.”
“Looks like the first place of this competition is basically his.”
“Highly possible. The crown prince was able to tame the Golden Wing Crimson Celestial Tiger… he must be extremely powerful. Who can compete with him?”
“I haven’t seen a martial warrior who can be his match.”
…
Different factions were furiously discussing on the live chat platform in the virtual universe, all the conversation veering toward the peerless crown prince.
Even the other princes were cast aside. No one mentioned them anymore.
On planet Yuming—Wu Xingyun and the others were astounded by what they saw on the live broadcast.
“The crown prince is amazing!” Wu Xingyun commented.
“There are lots of talents in the universe. I never imagined such a person existed.” Old Han shook his head.
“Taking the crown prince aside, the other talents from the eight dukedoms and the princes are exceptional martial warriors. Ordinary fighters can’t compare.” One of the people present sighed. “This League of Talents will be a fierce one.”
“I thought that Wang Teng could shine even among all those participants, but I never expected them to be as powerful,” Old Han said.
“I wonder how far up he can rise,” Wu Xingyun said worriedly.
Wu Xingyun and the others were greatly shocked; you could imagine the younger one’s reactions. They had never seen such talents before.
At first they felt that they themselves were strong enough, only lagging behind due to a weaker foundation.
However, they realized how naive they were to think that, once they saw the crown prince and the swath of experts from the empire and the eight bit families.
Even if those talents of the universe had similar backgrounds, they too were outstanding too.
However, that didn’t mean that the youths on the earth were weak. They could eventually become as powerful as the princes if they matured fully.
However, that was yet to be seen.
…
Back on the celestial-ranked mercenary ship—both the celestial and the planetary warriors were holding their breaths when they saw the crown prince appear. All of them were filled with admiration.
It was the mercenary team from the Universe Mercenaries Alliance: the Battle Hearth Mercenaries!
Their ranking was somewhere behind the Black Leaf Mercenaries. The latter team was within the top three hundred, while the former were only within the top eight hundred. The difference was drastic.
In fact, only a small detachment of the Battle Hearth Mercenary Team was making the trip, which made them unnoticeable.
“The crown prince! I wish I could see him in person,” someone said with longing.
“Don’t even think about it. Penniless people with no background like us can’t even enter the audience area.” Xue Fei shook his head.
“Why not do a few more missions and raise your own abilities instead of thinking about these useless things?” said a third celestial stage warrior.
The latter had a hideous blade scar on his face. He loved reprimanding people; all the newbies feared him.
“Hahaha, Du Wa, you’re always like this. Come on, everyone is watching the League of Talents. Let them talk freely.” Xue Fei laughed.
Du Wa shrugged. He knew it was unrealistic to ask them to focus on their mission at the moment, so he dropped the subject.
“Anyway, that universe behemoth is amazing. As expected of the crown prince; he can even tame a creature of that level,” said a planetary warrior with sparkling eyes, ” I think that beast is called… Golden Wing Crimson Celestial Tiger! Gee, even the name sounds ferocious!”
“A universe behemoth? That’s my first time seeing one,” someone commented.
“You’re not the only one. It’s a first for me too,” Xue Fei said.
“Chuhan.” Isah didn’t take part in the discussion. His gaze landed on the beautiful lady wearing the white battle armor. A hint of confusion flashed past his eyes as he asked, “What are you looking at?”
Lin Chuhan didn’t meet his eyes. She kept staring at the screen, afraid of missing a single second.
Isah’s expression froze.
Xue Fei and Du Wa exchanged glances laced with disdain.
“Hahaha, Chuhan, I didn’t know you liked the League of Talents this much.” Isah squeezed out a smile and laughed it out awkwardly.
The young lady remained the same, raptly observing the screen.
Isah: …
…
Not long after the crown prince arrived—two inconspicuous universe-rank ships reached the area outside the Battle Planet.
The vessels weren’t as eye-catching as the ships used by the big families and the princes.
Situ Wan’er and Wang Teng stopped chatting.
The two ships decelerated, left the dark universe, and reappeared in space.
“We have reached the Battle Planet!” Round Ball said excitedly with shimmering eyes.
“So this is the place?” Wang Teng stared at the giant planet floating before him. It was a startling sight.
“What do you think?” the little one asked.
“What a huge ball!” the other exclaimed.
Round Ball choked. It then explained, “Such large planets with life are rare in the universe.”
Wang Teng nodded. He sized up their destination and suddenly noticed something.
Right above the planet’s orbit—there were three land masses that looked like ring belts!
“What are those?” Wang Teng asked.
“That’s the Battle Planet’s ring land. There are three rings: Rings 1, 2 and 3,” the helper explained.
“Three rings?” Wang Teng’s expression turned strange. He thought of something and asked, “The rings weren’t formed naturally, right?”
“Wow, you can tell?” Round Ball was surprised. After nodding, it said, “You’re right. They were created by formidable warriors using their supreme force.”
Wang Teng was gobsmacked.
How powerful was their power, to be able to make those large pieces of land. Furthermore, they circled the planet.
What mighty existences!
The young hero wanted to speak but was quickly interrupted, “Wang Teng, I’m going to see my father now,” said Situ Wan’er to bid farewell. Then, she remembered something and asked, “Erm… care to join me? We can go into the participants’ waiting area together.”
Wang Teng took a second to understand her intention.
Situ Wan’er probably remembered his awkward situation. He had received a colonel rank in the military and was a recipient of the National Military Medal, but he was still just a baron. He had no fanfare to welcome him.
More so, he had a grudge with the Parkers. People would look down on him if he made a shoddy appearance.
Situ Wan’er wanted to help him.
“Thank you!” Wang Teng smiled and continued calmly, “It’s alright. Someone will be fetching me.”
