An ordinary cosmos-rank spacecraft was speeding through the dark Universe.
That was Wang Teng's spacecraft. They were close to the Battle Planet, so they switched the Flaming River to ride a normal ship.
"One more hour till we reach our destination," Round Ball said to the young man.
"Okay." Wang Teng nodded, resting with closed eyes at the mont.
"Huh? There's a spacecraft from the Great Qian Empire up front," the little helper said.
Spacecrafts would usually require registration to operate; their information would be relayed when two ships t.
This was done to prevent unnecessary conflict.
The universe was dangerous. Misunderstandings leading to a battle could happen at tis.
Wang Teng didn't bother with such matters, knowing that Round Ball would take care of it.
The latter didn't care about the other spacecraft, either. They were near the Battle Planet; it was normal to run into other ships from the Great Qian Planet. After all, many people would definitely make the trip to attend the competition. They had already t a few other ships along the way.
However, just when the little helper was about to swipe away the notification—the other ship sent them a call request.
"Wang Teng, they are trying to call in. Do you want to pick it up?" Round Ball was curious about who the other party was.
Wang Teng frowned, gradually opening his eyes. "Answer it."
"All right." The other nodded and answered the call.
A hologram appeared. It was a young lady covered with a veil.
"Baron Wang Teng, I was right!" The lady smiled when she saw the young man.
Wang Teng was stunned for a mont upon seeing the slightly familiar figure. It took him a while to rember who she was. "Situ Wan'er!"
That young lady was Duke Situ's daughter, Situ Wan'er.
"How did you know it was ?" The young hero asked curiously.
"You bought the ship through the military's special channel, and registered it on Defense Planet No. 29. I guessed it was you." Situ Wan'er sounded proud of herself, even though her voice remained cold.
Wang Teng was enlightened. He had indeed bought a few ships from the military to save money in the past.
The lady was smart. She managed to guess his identity through those clues.
Of course, she was lucky too.
"Are you heading to the Battle Planet?" Wang Teng asked.
"Yes." She nodded while sizing him up. It was their first ti eting ever since they parted.
However, she had heard many stories of his exploits, especially his rits on the defense planet, and the fact that he actually received the planet itself. There was a huge commotion among the higher authorities in the empire when they heard about this.
Wang Teng held a banquet and invited the nobles when he beca a baron. However, it was disrupted by the Parkers.
Many people treated him as a joke back then, feeling that the new baron had no future, since he had provoked that powerful family.
However, half a year later, the sa baron beca even more famous and received the National Military dal.
The award represented the highest glory in the military. Receiving the dal ant that the military would beco his backing. No matter how powerful the Parkers were, they couldn't interfere in military affairs.
Many people were astounded.
They thought that Wang Teng would beco an outcast after he left, but he opened a new path and a brighter future for himself.
That was the main reason why the veiled lady took the initiative to contact him in the likelihood that the ship was really his.
Based on her personality, she wouldn't take the initiative to contact anyone, even if she knew them.
"You're going to watch? Or participate?" Wang Teng asked curiously.
"Participate!" Situ Wan'er replied.
Wang Teng was surprised. He didn't expect the duke's daughter to enter the competition.
However, she was probably strong, being the daughter of a universe stage warrior.
"The League of Talents is a grand affair. I wouldn't miss the chance if I can take part in it," Situ Wan'er added.
The young man nodded. Many people probably thought along those lines. He wondered how strong she was.
It was now his turn to size her up. However, she was just a hologram; he couldn't see what stage she was in.
He could use his Real Eye to see through the void and the spacecraft itself, but there was no need for it. She wasn't an enemy.
Besides, there was no point. They were all at the celestial stage, and he couldn't see her real battle power.
That is, unless she had multiple elents like him!
He could see that.
But, everyone's battle techniques and secret skills were different, making it hard to predict a warrior's strength just based on Force.
He would delve further into the matter if he t her during the competition.
"You ca to participate too, right?" Situ Wan'er asked.
"Yes," Wang Teng replied.
"Why don't we go together?" Situ Wan'er asked.
"Sure." Wang Teng didn't reject her. Having a companion was better than traveling alone.
Only one hour of travel remained, so he didn't want to cultivate. So, he started chatting with the lady.
Being a duke's daughter, Situ Wan'er had a vast knowledge and the topics they touched upon were varied. Wang Teng was lucky he had Round Ball, or he would have been hard pressed to catch up.
