1432 The Seven Stellar Academies!
Ferya didnât delve as deep as Wu Yuquan. She was overjoyed once the registry process was done, all smiles. She thanked the senior, âUncle Wu, thank you. We couldnât have done it as quickly without your help.â
Wu Yuquan smiled and waved a hand. âYouâre too polite. Your father is a close friend of mine; it was just a small matter.â
Ferya chuckled. âWe wonât bother you any longer. Visit us so we can have a drink next time. I found a rare light-element spiritual fruit on planet Light Velvet suitable for wine making. I think youâll like it.â
The seniorâs eyes lit up. âWine made from light spiritual fruits is a good thing. I will be looking forward to it.â
âIâll contact you when itâs done.â Ferya got up. âWeâll be on our way now.â
Wang Teng also got up. âSenior, thank you for your help. You can find me if you ever need anything in the future.â
They were able to have that universe stage warriorâs help them because of Feryaâs family, but our hero felt obliged, since he received the same treatment.
âNo problem.â Wu Yuquan didnât belittle the offer after learning more of his identity.
However, the senior didnât think he would need his help. The difference in their abilities was vast, and his status was high. He could do anything Wang Teng could.
Mutual help existed when both parties had similar conditions.
Wang Teng noticed Wu Yuquanâs expression and smiled. He kept his own counsel.
The man was willing to give the young man some face. He replied with a smile, âYou donât have to call me senior. Since youâre Feryaâs friend, just call me Uncle Wu.â
He had high hopes for the lad, and his status in the Great Qian Empire was extraordinary. Moreover, he was young; he had a bright future ahead.
The current Wang Teng was probably not as important, but he had to pay attention to his future version.
Ferya glanced at Wu Yuquan in surprise. The latter was using her as an excuse, but she knew that not everyone would receive such a treatment.
Uncle and Senior were just forms of address, but the difference was huge.
This meant that Uncle Wu acknowledged him.
Looks like his status is higher than I thought.
âLet me send you off.â Wu Yuquan got up. He was acting completely unlike a universe warrior should.
He sent them to the door and watched them as they disappeared from the virtual universe. Then, he smiled. Things are getting interesting. He turned and also disappeared from the virtual universe.
He had gone there just to help Ferya and Wang Teng with their registration. He wouldnât have needed to go there personally otherwise.
â¦
Back on planet Light Velvet, in Feryaâs universe spacecraftâWang Teng and Ferya walked out of the virtual reality cabins.
They exchanged glances and heaved sighs of relief.
The planetâs registration was finalized. No one else could lay their hands on the remote planet anymore.
Ferya glanced at Wang Teng from the corner of her eyes and said, âHey, shouldnât you thank me?â
âYes, yes. Itâs all thanks to you.â Wang Teng obliged. The job was done, so he didnât mind satisfying her starved ego.
Ferya wasnât happy. She felt that he was coaxing a child.
She snorted softly and changed the topic, âWhen are you leaving?â
âSince all matters are solved, Iâm planning to leave today.â His constellation light force was at the ninth level of the celestial stage already. There was no point in staying any longer.
âThatâs fast,â Ferya exclaimed.
âThe Great Qian Empireâs League of Talents is about to start,â Wang Teng said.
âThe League of Talents. I see. Youâre going to participate.â The girl was surprised; she was suddenly reminded of something. She scratched her head and said, âWait, I think my grandfather signed me up for the Pan-Cosmic Allianceâs League of Talents previously.â
âThe Pan-Cosmic Alliance also has a League of Talents?â It was Wang Tengâs turn to be surprised.
Round Ballâs voice was suddenly heard. âActually, every high-tier civilization in the universe would be eligible to host the event. All of them are held at the same time.â
âHeld at the same time?â Wang Tengâs eyes narrowed while thinking about this. He then asked, âIs there a meaning behind this?â
âI didnât want to distract you, which was why I didnât want to tell you about this so soon. But let me brief you, now that you have met a talent from another place,â Round Ball said, âThe reason why the major forces in the universe hold the League of Talents at the same time is to select candidates for the Seven Stellar Academies.â
âThe Seven Stellar Academies!â Wang Teng was taken aback.
The little one explained, âSeven academies in different parts of the universe; they gather countless talents and prodigies from all around the cosmos. They are ancient, and no one even knows who founded them. All that is known is that they send emissaries to travel around the universe every once in a while to recruit talents.â
âWhy didnât I know about these Stellar Academies?â Wang Teng frowned.
Round Ball paused for a while and continued. âThis is because they are extremely mysterious. No one knows where their territories are located. The prospects selected will have to be personally guided by the instructors before they can even enter
âEven the students who come out of those academies kept the secret. If no one specifically mentions it, only a few would know about the academiesâ existence.
âEven I know only a little bit about the Seven Stellar Academies.â The small fellow shook its head.
âI never thought such a thing existed. The Olant Federationâs Saint Star Pagoda is just like an ant in comparison,â Wang Teng exclaimed.
âThe Saint Star Pagoda?â Round Ball sneered. âPlease donât bother; they are incomparable. Even the Great Qian Academy wouldnât hold a candle to them.â
Wang Teng looked at Round Ball in surprise, not expecting the latter to be as deferential to those academies. It was a rare sight. âSpeaking of which, my visit to the Great Qian Academy was delayed due to various reasons. Otherwise, I might have had the opportunity to represent them in the League of Talents.â
Round Ball seemed to have remembered something interesting and smiled. âIf they ever learned that you initially wanted to enter the Great Qian Academy, but ended up running off to the military⦠what would they think of you?â
Wang Teng shook his head; he didnât feel there was anything wrong about it. There had been no ties with them, so naturally, he had no regrets about his choices.
The inner conversation with Round Ball ended fairly quickly. Only a few moments had passed in Feryaâs eyes.
âOh no, how could I forget. I have to rush back immediately, or my grandfather will punish me,â Ferya said in a hurry.
Wang Teng couldnât help but laugh. She was the one saying he was in a hurry, but now, she was the anxious one.
He shook his head and said, âGo back. Tell the grand elder and the others. We should go.â
âOkay!â Ferya nodded in a hurry, feeling more anxious than the latter. The distance between the Pan-Cosmic Alliance and planet Light Velvet was greater.
Both of them exited the ship and headed towards the tribe ground, forming two streaks of light.
They found the grand elder and revealed their intentions to leave.
âLeaving already?â The grand elder was astonished.
It was too sudden!
He initially thought that Wang Teng and Ferya would stay for a few days after registering the planet. He wasnât expecting them to leave right away.
âYes. The planetâs registration has been completed, and we have some matters to attend. We have to leave soon,â Wang Teng explained.
âThe planet already registered? So fast!â The old leader was surprised.
The young man glanced at Ferya and said, âThings went smoothly with the help of Feryaâs family. It wouldnât have been as fast otherwise.â
He then turned on his wristwatch and showed the grand elder that planet Light Velvet was now registered under Feryaâs and his name. No one else could lay claim on it anymore.
Once he read it, the grand elder heaved a sigh of relief and said, âFerya, thank you so much.â
Ferya waved a hand. âItâs nothing. I am also benefiting from having ownership of the planet. I should do something in return.â
The grand elder stopped there, seeing that both youngsters did have urgent things to do.
The other chiefs also heard news of their departure and rushed over to see them off.
Rong Li looked at Wang Teng and said with some reluctance, âWhy leave in such a hurry? I wanted to invite you to stay in our tribe for a few days.â
The young hero had saved their tribe. They had yet to find a chance to thank him properly.
âI have something to take care of, so I have to leave.â Wang Teng smiled. âBut I will definitely come back in the future, now that planet Light Velvet is registered under my name. There will be a day when we get together again.â
The grand elder beckoned the others behind him and said, âWang Tengâs right. Itâs not like we wonât see each other again. Thereâs no need for everyone to be like this.â
The light velvet people stepped forward, holding various spiritual items of the light element. Spiritual flowers and herbs, and some interesting, glowing ores, packed with the power of light.
There were even some spiritual items stored in a white jade box. There were mysterious runes carved onto the casing, intended to prevent energy from leaking out.
Those were obviously different from the rest!
âI know that you two need light-element items, so we prepared these things,â the grand elder said.
âWe do need these things. Thank you, grand elder.â Wang Teng and Ferya readily accepted.
The old leader made a dismissive motion. âPlanet Light Velvet will rely on both of you in the future. Thereâs no need to thank me.â
He had already thought about it. From then on, the planet was led by Wang Teng and Ferya.
Only then could they survive in the universe and develop in a better way.
âGrand elder, I will leave a cosmos level spacecraft for you. If thereâs anything, contact me via the shipâs virtual reality cabin.â Wang Teng had already made preparations, already teaching the natives how to use the craft and the virtual reality cabin a few days prior.
âA cosmos level spacecraft!â Ferya was a little stunned.
Before she could reactâthe young hero waved a hand and the cosmos level ship appeared in the sky.
The girlâs eyes widened, as if she had just seen a ghost.
âYou have a high-capacity space ring?â she asked in astonishment.
Wang Teng glanced at her and replied casually, âThe space is not that large.â
The ship wasnât as massive. It was stored within the Flaming Riverâs docking area, and the larger ship was stored in the Flaming River Ring, a legacy from the Flaming River Universe Lord.
The ring was the legacyâs greatest harvest. Not only did it contain various treasures left by the renowned universe lord, it was an item with a gigantic space, which allowed Wang Teng to always take the great ship with him.
Ferya thought that Wang Teng only had a space ring with enough room for the ship that just appeared.
Even so, it was already large enough for her; she didnât have a ring with that much capacity.
Not even a talent like her, raised by a powerful family, had a similar treasure, which showed how rare it was. Wang Teng could only act extravagantly using other peopleâs legacies.
What surprised her even more was his excessively generous nature.
That was a cosmos level spacecraft, worth at least tens of billions of universe coins. He simply gave it to the light velvet people, just like that.
Rich and powerful!
