Chapter 1435 - 1435 You're Putting Me in a Tough Spot.



1435 You’re Putting Me in a Tough Spot.

Wang Teng was surprised by the call.

He thought he was just a stand-in for the military. He didn’t expect they would take the matter so seriously.

After Major Maxwell’s hologram disappeared, Wang Teng looked away and leaned back on his seat. He then closed his eyes and went into deep thought.

Round Ball appeared and floated near his left side. “The military wants to make a role model out of you.

“Everything lined up coincidentally. You made great achievements on Defense Planet No. 29, right when the League of Talents was just around the corner. They know you’ll stand out in the event because they understand how powerful you are.

“Their reputation will improve if they make you a figurehead for the military before you become really famous.

“Of course, this is a win-win situation. You’re using the military’s power and they’re using your fame.”

“I know.” Wang Teng nodded. “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking how I can make use of this.”

“What do you need to do? The military has everything figured out. You just need to be the mascot.” Round Ball smiled

“I became a mascot!” The young fellow didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The little one continued, “But, you still need to set the League of Talents on fire, or the military’s effort will go to waste.”

Wang Teng didn’t reply. His expression remained confident.

He was invincible in his cultivation level.

He believed that no other celestial warrior could beat him if he used all his skills.

He was certain about this.

Round Ball looked at his expression and felt a little conflicted.

Half a year prior, when news of the League of Talents had first rolled out, the little one felt that Wang Teng didn’t have the ability to fight against real talents, even though he was strong, too.

After all, there were numerous geniuses in the Great Qian Empire.

It was extremely difficult to stand out in a crowd.

However, this thinking had changed entirely that day.

Round Ball witnessed the young man’s growth, from his time on earth to the Great Qian Empire, seeing how he rose from a backwards planet and entered the vast universe stage.

He kept shining, still outstanding even in the scope of the Great Qian Empire, no matter how difficult it was.

He met Ferya, a talent from the Pan-Cosmic Alliance, yet he still defeated her.

That was enough to prove that the young hero possessed the ability to compete with the other talents in the universe.

Wang Teng stood up and said, “Let me take a look at the Black Leaf Mercenary Team.”

He took those people along when he left planet Light Velvet.

Well, he couldn’t let them stay there, could he?

Ren Gulan’s brother had placed a tracking device on her ship; he would definitely act and look for her if the craft stopped moving for long.

Planet Light Velvet was already registered under his and Ferya’s name, so he wasn’t afraid of the mercenaries taking action.

If they weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t touch the place.

However, tensions could arise if he left Ren Gulan on the planet. The Light Velvet people were still too weak to confront the Black Leaf Mercenary Team.

That was why the young hero took the hostages away. The tracking beacon would follow his movement.

Once the mercenary head noticed a change in location, they wouldn’t go to the remote planet, especially after knowing that its owner wasn’t someone that could be provoked.

Still, the Black Leaf Mercenary Team gave Wang Teng a headache.

There were conflicts between them. Ren Gulan and the others got caught the moment they landed on planet Light Velvet. Until then, they had behaved properly.

This had left our hero in a tough spot.

Soon, he reached the containment area where he locked them up. Cao Hongtu was watching over the room.

He had been recuperating inside the Flaming River after Wang Teng planted the spiritual mark on him.

There wasn’t anything for him to do; the young man asked him to guard the prisoners.

Cao Hongtu stood up when he saw Wang Teng arrive. “Master!”

“Good.” Wang Teng was satisfied with the fellow’s attitude, acting more obedient than Cao Jiaojiao.

Cao Jiaojiao wouldn’t dare say a thing because of his oppressive aura, but her stubborness and unwillingness to relent had never changed.

The metal door opened. Wang Teng entered the cell.

Ren Gulan looked at Wang Teng with fear in her eyes.

She already knew that he wasn’t an ordinary warrior. This spacecraft they were in was at least of heaven level rank.

Forgive them for their shallow knowledge; they couldn’t possibly tell it was actually a universe level spacecraft.

If not, their shock would have been greater.

However, she also realized that the person appointed to guard them was a heaven stage warrior.

Come on!

Using a heaven stage warrior as a doorman? Who is this guy?

Ren Gulan was appalled.

She felt the person was either the descendant of an eternal stage martial warrior or someone in the direct line of descent of a powerful faction.

Either way, they couldn’t offend him.

She kept an obedient stance.

There was no other choice. She might be arrogant and tyrannical but she didn’t want to die so early.

“How have you been?” Wang Teng sized them up with a smile.

The woman was speechless. Both times, this guy asks a random question whenever he shows up.

It was like two friends running into each other on the street and asking, “Have you eaten already?” or, “Did you sleep well last night?”

Being a prisoner, how was she supposed to reply?

How?!

Would she say that she ate and slept well? She definitely wouldn’t.

You’re putting me in a tough spot.

“Young master, thank you for your concern. This is a heaven level spacecraft; it’s much more comfortable than our ship,” said Varian, having a go at bootlicking their captor.

He was relieved when he learned that Wang Teng wouldn’t kill him, so he did his best to draw a line between him and Ren Gulan.

Look, he was basically badmouthing his former leader to curry Wang Teng’s favor.

His intention had already been exposed; there was no way he could keep masking his intentions in front of Ren Gulan. Hence, he was decisive, cutting ties with her.

Ren Gulan’s eyes were burning in anger. Her former subordinate was disgusting. The fellow was timid and obedient in the past; he was completely different now.

However, she didn’t dare say anything in front of Wang Teng.

“Young master?” The young hero gave Varian a mysterious smile. This fellow was already treating him as his master before even being recognized as a slave. How thick-skinned.

“You’ll be my young master from now on. I’ll be at your service without a single complaint.” The sketchy fellow smiled.

Ren Gulan couldn’t help but warn, “You should be careful with this vile character. Who knows? You might be betrayed like me.”

“Well, you make sense.” Wang Teng touched his chin and nodded. He seemed to be contemplating the situation.

Varian’s face turned green. This stupid b**tch spoiled my plan! He glared at her and said in a hurry, “Young master, don’t listen to her. A genius like you can easily kill me if I show any signs of disloyalty. Besides, I would never dare.”

“You’re right, it’s easy for me to kill you.” Wang Teng nodded.

Varian didn’t feel humiliated; instead, he heaved a sigh of relief, but then heard Wang Teng continue, “However, I don’t like accidents…”

Varian’s heart skipped a beat and his face paled.

Am I going to get killed?

“So, I’ll be putting a seal on you,” said the ‘young master’ to finish the sentence.

“Seal? Please do it; I won’t resist. You can put as many seals as you want.” Varian didn’t know what the seal was but he readily agreed because he was eager to prove his loyalty.

“I’m happy that you agree.” Wang Teng smiled. His spiritual power flowed outward, forming a golden mark in the air.

“Go!”

After the shout, the golden mark merged into Varian’s forehead and entered his consciousness; it was then etched in his spirit.

There was a burning pain in his spirit before the fellow could react. He let out a cry of agony.

Ren Gulan was flabbergasted. A chill went up her spine.

She thought that Wang Teng would be tricked by Varian, but in the end, the real monster was the young hero. Varian was just a clown.

An ordinary person wouldn’t have that strange and scary skill.

The pain in Varian’s consciousness lasted only a split second. His face was pale; cold sweat drenched his forehead as he stared at Wang Teng in shock.

“Don’t worry; it’s just a small spiritual mark. You said that I could put as many seals as I wanted. Are you regretting it now?” Wang Teng asked calmly.

“No!” Varian wouldn’t dare disobey. He knelt down and said, “I won’t have any different thoughts on the matter.”

“That’s good.” Wang Teng nodded. He turned to Ren Gulan and asked, “Tell me, what should I do with you?”

Ren Gulan took a step back in fright, face turning pale. She clenched her teeth and said, “I don’t possess any threat to you. There are no grudges. I…”

“But you might come to hate me for what I’ve done,” Wang Teng said, “I’m not afraid of your Black Leaf Mercenary Team, but I don’t like trouble.”

“I won’t!” Ren Gulan feared that the young man would implant a spiritual mark, so she shouted in a hurry, “I won’t hate you for it. I would never dare; I still want to live…”

Silence.

There wasn’t a single sound in the room.

Varian stared at her in astonishment. Is this the arrogant and despotic Ren Gulan?

How could she be such a coward?

Is this a clone?

Wang Teng stared at the woman in surprise. He started to self-reflect.

Am I that scary?

I forced a proud young lady to say her innermost feelings.

Ren Gulan blushed. She felt embarrassed when she realized what she had said, wishing she could bury herself in a hole.

Damn it, I don’t have the face to see anyone now!

Wang Teng waved a hand and said, “All right, I’ll release you, but I won’t let you leave. We’ll see how you act first.”

Ren Gulan heaved a sigh of relief.

Varian felt disappointed; he was the only one with a spiritual mark. He felt unconvinced, but wasn’t brave enough to complain.

“Cao Hongtu, arrange a room for each one,” Wang Teng ordered.

“Yes!” the man walked in and replied with respect.

The young hero turned and left.

“Please follow me,” Cao Hongtu said to Ren Gulan and Varian.

The pair was taken aback. The heaven stage warrior’s attitude towards their captor was interesting. He treated the latter like a speaking to one’s master.

Varian blinked and asked carefully, “Senior, what identity does our young master have?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!” Cao Hongtu replied coldly.

“Yes, yes! It’s my fault.” The man with glasses jumped in fright, legs weakening once he felt the pressure coming from Cao Hongtu’s body. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Since you’ve been marked, your life is in Master’s hands. Don’t nurture any other thoughts.” Cao Hongtu walked to a room and opened the door. “This is your room. Stay inside.”

Varian nodded and replied quickly, “Yes.”

The heaven stage warrior took the young lady to a different room.

Ren Gulan hesitated but still asked in the end, “Senior, do you know where we are going?”

Cao Hongtu glanced at her and replied, “Battle Planet!”

“The League Of Talents!” Ren Gulan was stunned. Then, it dawned on her. “Is he going to participate?”

“This is your room.” Cao Hongtu turned and simply left.

Ren Gulan sighed and walked into the room. She stayed inside obediently.
