“There’s one more item that’s worth a lot!” Wang Teng said.
“There’s more? Seriously?” Round Ball felt its heart shuddering. It was a little numb as it asked, “What is it?”
“A universe spacecraft!” Wang Teng replied.
This universe-level spacecraft was inside the space ring, but he couldn’t take it out now.
Round Ball gasped loudly. “A universe-level spacecraft?!”
Wang Teng shook his head.
“Hold onto me.” Round Ball said cheekily, “Why did this Flaming River Martial Warrior leave these things to you instead of giving them to his descendants?”
It didn’t understand at all. It felt that the martial warrior must be tactless. Wang Teng reaped all the fruits of his labor.
Even it felt a little envious and jealous.
“Hahaha, maybe he didn’t want to endanger his family so he kept his treasures a secret?” Wang Teng guessed.
“Who knows? The Qi Family is pitiful. They only have one heaven-stage martial warrior in their family currently. Their power has been dwindling.” Round Ball shook its head. “If the Flaming River Martial Warrior gave them his treasures, they might be in a better state.”
“I don’t really care,” Wang Teng replied.
“You can continue gloating,” Round Ball said speechlessly.
“Besides these items, there are many ores and star cores in the space ring too. They’re quite valuable,” Wang Teng said.
“This universe-stage martial warrior left behind many things,” Round Ball exclaimed.
Wang Teng nodded in agreement.
“These resources are enough for you to cultivate to the universe stage,” Round Ball said.
“I’ll have to plan properly. After I become a baron, I’ll go back to Earth to take a look. I won’t feel at ease until I solve the issue there,” Wang Teng said.
“Yes, after becoming a baron of the Great Qian Empire, you can have a galaxy as your territory. As for the guardian of the Milky Way, he won’t be a problem. You can ask heaven-stage martial warriors to threaten him. At that time, the Olant Federation might give you the entire Milky Way as compensation,” Round Ball said.
“As a baron, I can seek help from heaven-stage martial warriors?” Wang Teng was surprised.
“Of course. These heaven-stage martial warriors will listen to you if they’re in your territory. This is how powerful a noble from the Great Qian Empire is,” Round Ball said proudly.
Wang Teng understood. The baron title in a high-tier civilization and a low-tier civilization was different.
There were many powerful martial warriors in the Great Qian Empire, including many heaven-stage martial warriors. The majority of these heaven-stage martial warriors attached themselves to various noble families, so naturally, they would listen to the nobles.
Honestly, this was the first time a non-blue-blood became a baron.
“Why didn’t Nangong Yue ask heaven-stage martial warriors for help in the past?” Wang Teng thought of a question.
“It can’t be helped. He’s only at the cosmos stage, so they wouldn’t listen to him!” Round Ball felt helpless.
“I’m just a celestial-stage martial warrior. Will they listen to me? I was happy for nothing.” Wang Teng felt speechless too.
“You’re wrong. The heaven-stage martial warriors don’t just look at your ability; they will look at the benefits you give them too. Master Nangong was very poor. He might have the talent, but he didn’t have the money. He’s not as rich as you. Look, you’re able to recruit heaven-stage martial warriors from the mecha race. Do you think you can’t find other heaven-stage formidable warriors?” Round Ball asked.
“You seem confident in me.” Wang Teng was caught between laughter and tears.
They chatted for some time. Wang Teng closed his eyes and sorted through the legacy left behind by the owner of Flaming River World.
The Flaming River Martial Warrior was a powerful fire-element martial warrior. He left many fire-element scriptures and battle techniques as well as his years of inspiration. They were of great help to Wang Teng.
Not everyone could enjoy the legacy of a universe-stage martial warrior.
…
More than ten days later, the universe spacecraft arrived back on the Great Qian Planet.
Along the way, the noble families’ representatives sent news back to their families to tell them that Wang Teng had won the baron’s title.
This piece of news caused a huge commotion and astonishment in the higher class circle.
No one expected this martial warrior from a backward planet to win the baron’s title.
Cao Hongtu became the biggest loser. He was in a miserable state.
The event continued snowballing. More and more people knew about it. Everyone was waiting for the day Wang Teng inherited the title.
The spacecraft parked at the docks. Wang Teng followed the head of the chamber off the spacecraft and rode the orbital train back to the Great Qian Planet.
Before they parted, the head said to Wang Teng, “I’ll report the result to the higher authorities. You can go back and wait for the news. I think you’ll be able to inherit the baron’s title in less than two days.”
“Thank you,” Wang Teng thanked the head of the chamber quickly. He was elated.
The head waved his hand and left with his subordinates.
Cao Hongtu and the members of the Parkers family looked at Wang Teng from afar. They didn’t leave. After the head of the chamber left, they walked over.
Before the other party could open their mouths, Wang Teng said, “Senior Brother Cao, remember to clean the Nangong Residence for me.”
Cao Hongtu’s face turned green. Anger surged in his heart.
“You won’t be able to stay there for long!” he said coldly.
“Are you threatening me?” Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and asked indifferently.
Cao Hongtu wanted to retort, but Valteru stopped him.
“In the Great Qian Empire, you can’t cover the sky with your hands yet. If I can recruit one heaven-stage martial warrior, I can recruit a second and third one.” Wang Teng stared at Cao Hongtu and said coldly, “You can try if you want to die.”
Both parties had shed all pretenses, so Wang Teng didn’t have to worry about anything.
“You!” Cao Hongtu’s pupils shrank.
“Young man, you should think before you speak. Don’t act on impulse,” Valteru said nonchalantly.
“Who are you?” Wang Teng smirked. “You don’t have the right to reprimand me.”
“You’ll suffer if you don’t listen to other people’s advice. Don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you’re a baron now.” Valteru snorted.
“Let me throw this sentence back at you. Don’t think that you can be arrogant just because you’re one of the eight dukes,” Wang Teng frowned and said.
“Hmph!” Valteru didn’t expect Wang Teng to have the guts to threaten him. He was infuriated. He snorted, but suddenly, he remembered something and gave Wang Teng a meaningful glance. Then, he smiled coldly as if mocking him before turning around and leaving with Cao Hongtu.
Wang Teng frowned. Valteru’s gaze made him uncomfortable. It was as if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
What are they planning??Wang Teng wondered. He didn’t think that Cao Hongtu and the Parkers would let him go easily.
Looks like I have to make preparations!
Wang Teng’s gaze flickered. He left with An Lan and returned to wait for the chamber’s notice.
