Chapter 2574: Holy Land! Gabriel! Pingtian Grand Duke! (3)
“How can you let others’ ambition extinguish your glory? With our strength, we can surely make it into the top one thousand this time,” Grandmaster Xie Jia said defiantly.
Grandmaster Susanna didn’t say anything. Her gaze couldn’t help but fall on Wang Teng.
If there was hope, it lay with him. Although they didn’t know the extent of his proficiency in the three main secondary professions - runes, alchemy, and forging - based on his performance in the past few days, he couldn’t be too weak.
Otherwise, Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others wouldn’t have pinned their hopes on him from the beginning.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others also looked at Wang Teng, not saying much.
But Wang Teng knew their expectations, and he just smiled faintly.
“Here is our seating area,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan said as they landed in a more peripheral area.
There were many seats here, with tables and chairs all set up, and various fruits and drinks prepared, showing thoughtfulness.
In those seats, there were quite a few figures, each exuding strong or completely concealed auras, making them seem like deep voids that couldn’t be fathomed.
“They’re here too!?” Wang Teng’s gaze casually swept over and couldn’t help but pause.
He saw several familiar figures sitting in those seats.
They were tall and burly, with bald heads and flame marks on their foreheads - unmistakably members of the Parkers family.
At the head of the Parkers family sat a middle-aged man, with his arms crossed and eyes closed.
His body was as sturdy as an iron tower, with yellow flame patterns covering his arms like tattoos.
At the center of his forehead, there was also a yellow flame mark, resembling a truly burning yellow flame.
“Eternal stage!” Wang Teng’s pupils contracted slightly.
As expected, there was an eternal-stage martial warrior in the Parkers family.
Instinctively, he activated his Real Eye, wanting to probe the strength of this person.
Suddenly, a scorching heat surged from the opponent’s body, rushing into Wang Teng’s eyes as if to incinerate them.
Wang Teng’s expression changed slightly, and a blue flame appeared in his eyes, resisting the terrifying temperature.
At the same time, a coldness emanated from his Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl, swirling in his eyes, dissipating all residual heat.
“What’s wrong?” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others were slightly stunned, sensing something was amiss.
Wang Teng shook his head, but his gaze was fixed on the Parkers family in the distance.
An eternal-stage duke!
The other party should be an eternal-stage duke!
The Parkers family’s eternal-stage martial warrior opened his eyes slowly and looked towards Wang Teng, his gaze indifferent as if looking at an ant.
Behind him, two elders stood up slowly, their faces dark and their gazes icy as they stared at Wang Teng.
Seeing the faces of these two individuals, Wang Teng couldn’t conceal the chill in his eyes as he stared back coldly.
They were the Furious Flaming Universe Lord and the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord from the Parkers family!
The memories of how they had pressured him at the Baron’s banquet were still fresh in Wang Teng’s mind.
Grandmaster Alfred and the others suddenly realized what was happening, their gazes filled with concern as they looked at Wang Teng.
“Sit down!” The eternal-stage martial warrior of the Parkers family glanced at Wang Teng and closed his eyes again, his voice faint.
The Furious Flaming Universe Lord and the Flaming Phoenix Universe Lord nodded and sat down, no longer paying attention to Wang Teng as if he didn’t exist.
Wang Teng frowned. The calmness of the Parkers family members was somewhat eerie.
“Is this Wang Teng?”
At that moment, a light laughter rang out, pulling Wang Teng’s thoughts back.
He turned his head and saw several figures standing up from the seats on the other side, walking towards him.
Wang Teng recognized one of them. It was the Universe Lord Ji Xia from the Ji family!
The one who just spoke was an elder walking in front of Ji Xia, who turned out to be an eternal-stage martial warrior as well.
“Our Great Qin Empire’s royal family and the eight duke families have all come,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan’s voice suddenly rang in Wang Teng’s ears.
Wang Teng nodded inwardly. It seemed that the eight duke families had profound backgrounds, with at least one eternal-stage martial warrior in their families.
The Parkers family even had an eternal-stage duke, indicating the strength of the other seven duke families.
“Elder, how do I address you?” Wang Teng looked at the Ji family members approaching him and bowed respectfully.
“I am Ji Xing!” The elder from the Ji family smiled.
“Respect to Elder Ji Xing,” Wang Teng replied.
“Grandmaster Wang Teng, it has been a long time since we last met,” Ji Xia, standing behind Ji Xing, greeted Wang Teng with a smile and a fist salute.
“Universe Lord Ji Xia.” Wang Teng cupped his fists.
As other members of the eight duke families saw the Ji family and Wang Teng conversing happily, they also approached.
After all, Wang Teng’s talent displayed in the League Of Talents was astonishing, and he had even made it onto the Star Rankings. If he didn’t fall, he might become a powerful figure in the future.
Hence, even the members of the eight duke families, especially those who had no grudges with him, wanted to befriend them.
“Wang Teng, your strength has grown significantly since entering the Stellar Academies not long ago,” UniverseLord Dubois, the head of the Cavendish family, remarked with a sigh as he glanced at Wang Teng.
Universe Lord Dubois appeared during the League Of Talents and was the leader of the Cavendish family.
Because of Di Qi, Wang Teng had a good relationship with the Cavendish family and there was no need for formalities between them…
