Chapter 1033: This Is Too Much!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Cao Hongtu and Sinclamon were infuriated.

What did he mean by that?

He made them sound like cowards who were afraid of death. He was ruining their reputation!

The others didn’t think much at first since they wouldn’t dare to stay in Flaming River World when it was collapsing either. It was understandable that Cao Hongtu and his team came out first.

Moreover, they exited it just before the world collapsed.

!!

However, after hearing w.a.n.g Teng’s words, everyone started to think differently.

These two heaven-stage martial warriors weren’t as calm as a planetary-stage martial warrior. They ran away while w.a.n.g Teng came out almost at the last second.

This comparison portrayed the difference between them.

Cao Hongtu and Sinclamon’s faces turned black when they noticed everyone’s gazes.

w.a.n.g Teng ignored them with a smile. He turned to look at the head of the chamber and bowed. “Head, I’ve completed all three missions.”

“All three missions?!” Everyone was stunned.

“Wait, he said that he entered the legacy location, right?”

“That’s right. That’s what he said.”

“By completing the three missions, it means that he’s gotten the legacy?!”

…

There was a commotion. Everyone was shocked by w.a.n.g Teng’s words.

The last legacy had remained untouched for many years, yet w.a.n.g Teng managed to get it. Was he telling the truth?

Some people noticed Cao Hongtu and Sinclamon’s expressions and had their answers.

Qi Tiancheng was dumbstruck. He stared at w.a.n.g Teng in disbelief.

Did this young man receive the final legacy from their ancestor?

They had tried multiple times but failed. Many talents before him failed to get it too. How did he succeed?

Even the head of the chamber was stunned. He confirmed. “Oh? Did you really get it?”

w.a.n.g Teng smiled. A fire pattern appeared on his forehead.

This fire pattern was formed after he absorbed the legacy crystal into his body. Normally, legacies left behind would have their own mark. This was a symbol of ident.i.ty.

“Indeed, this is the mark of the flaming river legacy!” The head nodded.

Qi Tiancheng recognized the mark instantly. The little hope left in his heart vanished. w.a.n.g Teng got the legacy. This was an undeniable truth.

Sinclamon’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn’t get the divine flames nor the legacy. Immense frustration and exasperation were devouring him.

The legacy mark on w.a.n.g Teng’s forehead couldn’t be fake. Thus, no one questioned him.

w.a.n.g Teng received the legacy, so he was most likely the final winner unless Cao Hongtu finished the other two missions.

That was the only way he could fight with w.a.n.g Teng.

However, Cao Hongtu wasn’t confident. His brows were locked in a tight frown.

w.a.n.g Teng smirked. He didn’t want to end it like this, so he blinked and took out the flaming river crystals and the Fire Black Toads from his s.p.a.ce ring.

Boom!

With a dull thud, a heap of Fire Black Toad corpses and flaming red crystals appeared on the ground. They piled up beside the crowd like two small hills. Everyone was bewildered.

“These are the flaming river crystals I dug up and the Fire Black Toads I killed. There are more than 50 thousand kilograms of flaming river crystals and more than 2000 Fire Black Toads,” w.a.n.g Teng said calmly.

Silence.

Goodness!

There was silence for a moment. Then, gasps resounded all around. The crowd was thunderstruck.

50 thousand kilograms of flaming river crystals!

2000 Fire Black Toads! To top it all off, most of them were mid-tier imperial-level star beasts.

How did w.a.n.g Teng do it?

No one dared to say that they could achieve the same results if they entered Flaming River World.

Mind you, the resources in Flaming River World had depleted greatly over the years, especially the flaming river crystals. Even though the majority of them had been dug up, he still managed to find 50 thousand kilograms. This was unbelievable.

Qi Tiancheng understood the situation of the flaming river crystals the most. When he saw this scene, he wondered if w.a.n.g Teng bought numerous flaming river crystals before he entered the small world and took them out to add to his tally.

But after thinking about it carefully, this was impossible. Flaming river crystals were the specialty product of Flaming River World. It was hard to find them outside, so he wouldn’t be able to gather 50 thousand kilograms of them.

Thus, it was highly likely that w.a.n.g Teng excavated them from Flaming River World.

Was he a mole?

Qi Tiancheng started complaining in his heart.

If w.a.n.g Teng knew what he was thinking, he might spit saliva on his face. To h.e.l.l with being a mole!

Was he wrong to collect more flaming river crystals?

Fortunately, he couldn’t read Qi Tiancheng’s mind. w.a.n.g Teng turned to Cao Hongtu and reminded him sincerely, “Senior Brother Cao, what about you? Why don’t you take yours out for us to count?”

Cao Hongtu’s face turned green. What an evil fellow. He won, yet he still wanted to trample his ego. It was obvious that he wanted to embarra.s.s him.

“No need. I admit defeat.” Cao Hongtu had no choice but to swallow his frustration.

He recalled how proud and confident he was when he entered Flaming River World. He felt bitter. He had nothing left.

He lost!

He lost entirely.

Ashamed, Cao Hongtu almost fainted. He wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.

No one expected Cao Hongtu to admit defeat so quickly. They were surprised. After all, this would affect who got the baron’s t.i.tle. Cao Hongtu had been working hard and scheming for this t.i.tle for numerous decades. Would he be willing to admit defeat now?

No one would understand Cao Hongtu’s unwillingness. However, he didn’t have a choice. The result was final. He had no chance of turning the tides.

“Senior Brother, why did you admit defeat? We haven’t compared our spoils yet,” w.a.n.g Teng asked in a puzzled tone.

Everyone: …

Even Cao Hongtu couldn’t control his anger this time. He glared at w.a.n.g Teng as he was burning with fury. He had given up pretending.

Everyone had a new understanding of how evil w.a.n.g Teng was. He perfectly showed how to slap someone in the face in public.

“w.a.n.g Teng, don’t go overboard!” Cao Hongtu shouted.

“Did I? I just feel that it’s a pity if you admit defeat before comparing. What if you perform better for the first two missions? After all, your team had two heaven-stage martial warriors. If you put in the effort, you can win,” w.a.n.g Teng said.

Cao Hongtu froze. He didn’t know what to say. His face a.s.suming the hue of green, his gaze turned sharp.

Everyone finally realized that Sinclamon had entered Flaming River World with Cao Hongtu too. That meant that w.a.n.g Teng won against two heaven-stage martial warriors.

Was he too strong or were Cao Hongtu and Sinclamon too weak?

Everyone stared at Sinclamon and Cao Hongtu strangely.

“This is too much!” Sinclamon’s face turned hideous when he saw those gazes. He was so angry his body started trembling.
