Editor: Henyee Translations
“It seems that our Great Qian Empire has a chance to enter the top one thousand,” the eternal-stage martial warrior from the Perez family said.

Wang Teng glanced at Gabriel with an indifferent expression, not even bothering to acknowledge the slander from the Furious Flaming Universe Lord. He didn’t consider these people as his rivals at all!
Forget about being a seventh-rank grandmaster, even if they were ninth-rank grandmasters, what difference would it make? Despite both being in the ninth grade, the gap between them was substantial. He acquired so many attributes, and his foundation was far beyond that of an ordinary alchemist.
Moreover, his proficiency in alchemy had long surpassed the ninth grade, reaching perfection. He had even crafted supreme-rank pills.
Such experiences were probably something even the geniuses of the core families of the Secondary Career Alliance couldn’t match.
Gabriel was incomparable to him.
In this regard, Wang Teng had absolute confidence.
But just because he ignored them didn’t mean they would ignore him.
“So, you’re Wang Teng!” Gabriel, seeing Wang Teng not even sparing him a glance, furrowed his brows and spoke coldly.
Wang Teng still couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge him, not even dignifying him with a response.
Such blatant disregard drew odd glances from the surrounding onlookers, some of whom looked at the Furious Flaming Universe Lord and Gabriel with a hint of schadenfreude.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord’s expression turned sour.
“Are you too scared to respond to me?” Gabriel’s expression grew even colder, his voice laced with derision.
“A dog barks in front of me, should I bother to respond?” Wang Teng replied nonchalantly.
“Insolence!” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord couldn’t contain his anger, his voice sharp.
Wang Teng glanced at him. “Old man, do you even know where you are? It’s not your turn to make a scene here.”
“You!” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord was rendered speechless by Wang Teng’s retort.
In the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters, he dared not be too reckless. Otherwise, given Wang Teng’s insults just now, he would have already taken action.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, and seeing you today, you are indeed incredibly arrogant,” Gabriel remarked.
“Arrogant?” Wang Teng’s laughter seemed to be sparked by something incredibly amusing. He scoffed, “Who’s arrogant here? Everyone knows it well, so spare me your nonsense.”
“Hmph!” A glint of coldness flashed in Gabriel’s eyes. “Today is the opening day of the exchange summit. I won’t discuss martial arts with you. Let’s talk about the proficiency of our secondary professions. I want to see if you can surpass me in the alchemy competition.”
“Just you?” Wang Teng chuckled.
His laughter was not loud, but it dripped with contempt, instantly darkening Gabriel’s complexion.
“Your martial talent is indeed decent, but proficiency in secondary professions is completely different from martial talent. I’ve seen countless geniuses in secondary professions that you couldn’t even imagine. Your arrogance is simply laughable. I will show you how foolish your pride is,” Gabriel said coldly.
“Arrogance?” Wang Teng shook his head, too lazy to continue. He casually cleaned his ears, completely disregarding Gabriel’s words. “Then, I’ll wait and see.”
Gabriel’s expression darkened instantly. Though this young man spoke little, each word made him feel an urge to erupt in anger.
“Alright, alright! We are all from the Great Qian Empire. Why fight to the death among ourselves when we could challenge the Namoss Empire and the Chidara Free Federation?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan immediately intervened to defuse the tension. His gaze was fixed on a distant spot.
Indeed, representatives from the Namoss Empire and the Chidara Free Federation had arrived!
Everyone turned their heads to look. The Namoss Empire and the Chidara Free Federation were formidable adversaries of the Great Qian Empire. In this exchange meeting at the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters, the three parties naturally had to vie for supremacy.
This was not just about the face of the three major powers. It was also a way to demonstrate their respective strengths and weaknesses.
While the branch offices of the Secondary Career Alliance fall under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, they also had inseparable ties with the various powers.
The strength or weakness of the branch offices of the Secondary Career Alliance was also a reflection of the strengths and weaknesses of the various powers.
The positions of the Namoss Empire and the Chidara Free Federation were not far from that of the Great Qian Empire. All were hovering just outside the top one thousand.
The Namoss Empire held a slightly higher position, while the Chidara Free Federation trailed slightly behind.
Noticing the gazes from the Great Qian Empire’s side, representatives from both the Namoss Empire and the Chidara Free Federation turned their attention over.
Suddenly, an invisible confrontation emerged among the three powers, creating an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.
“This time, it seems that the Namoss Empire has an unusually high number of secondary profession geniuses, and they are all very young.” The eternal-stage ancestor from the Ji Family glanced at them and frowned.
“The Chidara Free Federation also seems to have a few promising secondary profession talents!” the eternal-stage martial warrior from the Jiang family placed his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Among the strongest faction of the Great Qian Empire, a figure had previously kept their eyes closed, seemingly disinterested in their surroundings. However, at this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and his voice echoed into the ears of the crowd.
“Wang Teng, Gabriel, if you two can surpass the secondary profession geniuses of the Namoss Empire and the Chidara Free Federation in this exchange summit, the imperial family will reward you with some prizes—battle techniques, scriptures, or various resources, whatever you choose.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell into a momentary silence, and then turned their attention to the middle-aged man who had spoken.
Gabriel’s eyes suddenly lit up as he turned to look.
Wang Teng paused for a moment, his gaze flashing slightly, before also looking over.
“It’s Grand Duke Pingtian!” Grandmaster Hua Yuan’s solemn voice sounded beside Wang Teng’s ear.
“Grand Duke Pingtian!” Wang Teng was surprised. He sized up the middle-aged man.
He had seen an eternal-stage martial warrior from the imperial family before —the Chongshan Grand Duke. But this time, it wasn’t him. It was the presence referred to as the “Pingtian Grand Duke”..
