1440 Someoneâs 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 creatureâs 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 beastâs 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 everyoneâs 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 princeâs 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.
âCrown Prince!â someone shouted.
âCrown Prince!â
âCrown Prince!â
â¦
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.
âCrown Prince!â
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 âcrown princeâ!
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 princeâs high status.
The other princes followed closely after he entered the participantsâ waiting area.
The crowd then was finally able to regain their composure and discussions erupted.
âThe crown prince! Thatâs the legendary crown prince!â
âIâve long heard of him. To think Iâd be so lucky to see him in person today. It was worth coming to the League of Talents.â
âThe crown princeâs aura is more powerful when compared to the talents from the eight big families. I couldnât look at him straight.â
âItâs not just the eight dukes. Didnât you see the other princesâ expressions? None of them can compare!â
âThose princes have exceptional auras, but the crown prince beats them all. No wonder the ancestors said heâs like an immortal.â
âLooks like the first place of this competition is basically his.â
âHighly possible. The crown prince was able to tame the Golden Wing Crimson Celestial Tiger⦠he must be extremely powerful. Who can compete with him?â
âI havenât seen a martial warrior who can be his match.â
â¦
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 YumingâWu Xingyun and the others were astounded by what they saw on the live broadcast.
âThe crown prince is amazing!â Wu Xingyun commented.
âThere are lots of talents in the universe. I never imagined such a person existed.â Old Han shook his head.
âTaking the crown prince aside, the other talents from the eight dukedoms and the princes are exceptional martial warriors. Ordinary fighters canât compare.â One of the people present sighed. âThis League of Talents will be a fierce one.â
âI thought that Wang Teng could shine even among all those participants, but I never expected them to be as powerful,â Old Han said.
âI wonder how far up he can rise,â Wu Xingyun said worriedly.
Wu Xingyun and the others were greatly shocked; you could imagine the younger oneâs 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 didnât 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.
â¦
Back on the celestial-ranked mercenary shipâboth 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.
âThe crown prince! I wish I could see him in person,â someone said with longing.
âDonât even think about it. Penniless people with no background like us canât even enter the audience area.â Xue Fei shook his head.
âWhy not do a few more missions and raise your own abilities instead of thinking about these useless things?â 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.
âHahaha, Du Wa, youâre always like this. Come on, everyone is watching the League of Talents. Let them talk freely.â 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.
âAnyway, that universe behemoth is amazing. As expected of the crown prince; he can even tame a creature of that level,â said a planetary warrior with sparkling eyes, â I think that beast is called⦠Golden Wing Crimson Celestial Tiger! Gee, even the name sounds ferocious!â
âA universe behemoth? Thatâs my first time seeing one,â someone commented.
âYouâre not the only one. Itâs a first for me too,â Xue Fei said.
âChuhan.â Isah didnât 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, âWhat are you looking at?â
Lin Chuhan didnât meet his eyes. She kept staring at the screen, afraid of missing a single second.
Isahâs expression froze.
Xue Fei and Du Wa exchanged glances laced with disdain.
âHahaha, Chuhan, I didnât know you liked the League of Talents this much.â Isah squeezed out a smile and laughed it out awkwardly.
The young lady remained the same, raptly observing the screen.
Isah: â¦
â¦
Not long after the crown prince arrivedâtwo inconspicuous universe-rank ships reached the area outside the Battle Planet.
The vessels werenât as eye-catching as the ships used by the big families and the princes.
Situ Wanâer and Wang Teng stopped chatting.
The two ships decelerated, left the dark universe, and reappeared in space.
âWe have reached the Battle Planet!â Round Ball said excitedly with shimmering eyes.
âSo this is the place?â Wang Teng stared at the giant planet floating before him. It was a startling sight.
âWhat do you think?â the little one asked.
âWhat a huge ball!â the other exclaimed.
Round Ball choked. It then explained, âSuch large planets with life are rare in the universe.â
Wang Teng nodded. He sized up their destination and suddenly noticed something.
Right above the planetâs orbitâthere were three land masses that looked like ring belts!
âWhat are those?â Wang Teng asked.
âThatâs the Battle Planetâs ring land. There are three rings: Rings 1, 2 and 3,â the helper explained.
âThree rings?â Wang Tengâs expression turned strange. He thought of something and asked, âThe rings werenât formed naturally, right?â
âWow, you can tell?â Round Ball was surprised. After nodding, it said, âYouâre right. They were created by formidable warriors using their supreme force.â
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, âWang Teng, Iâm going to see my father now,â said Situ Wanâer to bid farewell. Then, she remembered something and asked, âErm⦠care to join me? We can go into the participantsâ waiting area together.â
Wang Teng took a second to understand her intention.
Situ Wanâer 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 Wanâer wanted to help him.
âThank you!â Wang Teng smiled and continued calmly, âItâs alright. Someone will be fetching me.â
