Chapter 2194 w.a.n.g Teng Didn"t Find A Master? The Gathering Of The Judges! (2)
"I will ask for help from a friend who ranks among the top 100 heaven-stage martial warrior ranking. I don"t want to be controlled by poison forever," Cob declared.
Gikdor, Wu Cheng, Dong Lei, and the others kept quiet. Their expressions kept changing.
"Do you still expect him to show mercy?" Cob sneered as he observed their reactions.
"Cob, even if he doesn"t have a master, our lives are still in his hands. Are you sure it won"t be a problem?" Wu Cheng asked.
"If he wants to continue staying in the Stellar Academies, he needs to learn how to compromise. I don"t believe that he can do anything to me in the Stellar Academies," Cob said firmly.
"That"s not necessarily true. Considering his personality, do you think he would be afraid?" Dong Lei suddenly spoke up.
"Hmph, even if he"s not afraid, what does it matter? Although he"s a monstrous talent, can he compare to the geniuses on the top 100 list?" Cob huffed disdainfully, then turned and walked away. His voice echoed from a distance, "If you want to be his dogs, I won"t stop you, but I will never submit."
"Ridiculous!" Wu Cheng and the others" expressions turned sour. Cob"s words were harsh, hitting them directly in their emotional wounds.
Wan Dong turned and left silently.
"I still think we shouldn"t act recklessly," Gikdor spoke after a moment of silence.
"I agree," Dong Lei hesitated for a moment and nodded, "And I feel there"s something suspicious about w.a.n.g Teng not having a master."
"Oh?" Gikdor and Cob looked at her in surprise.
"A woman"s sixth sense," Dong Lei said.
Gikdor: …
Wu Cheng: …
The news that w.a.n.g Teng didn"t have a master spread far and wide, stirring various reactions among the people.
Given w.a.n.g Teng"s immense reputation as the strongest freshman, many eyes were on him.
The fact that he didn"t have a master was a significant piece of news with far-reaching implications.
At the same time, there was another question that intrigued many.
Where did w.a.n.g Teng go?
Since the day he was taken away by the dean on the summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, w.a.n.g Teng had not reappeared.
Since he didn"t acknowledge the president as his master, where did he go?
This question remained unknown to everyone except the president and the two G.o.d-stage martial warriors.
The Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation!
Seven figures appeared at the highest level of the Arbitration a.s.sociation.
The seven judges gathered again!
And this time, they convened for the same person, w.a.n.g Teng!
It had to be admitted that since the establishment of the Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation, w.a.n.g Teng was the only new student who could mobilize them in such a way.
"What brings us all together again?" The Judge seated in the third chair spoke.
"Do you remember what happened half a year ago?" the Seventh Judge asked indifferently.
"Half a year ago? What happened half a year ago?" The Fourth Judge inquired.
"The freshman named w.a.n.g Teng. Initially, we offered him a position as an a.s.sociate council member, but he rejected it," the Seventh Judge said casually.
"w.a.n.g Teng!" The Judges immediately remembered this name.
"He didn"t accept the a.s.sociate council member position?" The Fifth Judgment smiled with interest.
"He didn"t report to the Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation half a year ago," the Seventh Judge stated.
"He seems to be a tough one." The Sixth Judge chuckled.
"If he didn"t accept it, then so be it. Why gather us for such matters? Can"t the lower ranks handle it?" The Second Judge said indifferently.
"The issue is that he has now claimed the top spot on the Freshmen Leaderboard and even ascended to the summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain," the Seventh Judge continued.
"The summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain!"
The rest of the Judges were instantly surprised, and their gazes fell on the face of the First Judge.
Sitting in the first chair, the First Judge, who had been resting with closed eyes, suddenly opened his eyes. A peculiar light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the Seventh Judge, his voice slowly echoed.
"You say he ascended to the summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain?"
"That"s right!" The Seventh Judge calmly affirmed. "You may not be aware of this as you are not within the academy, but this matter is widely known among the people of the Seventh Stellar Academy."
"Intriguing," the First Judge murmured to himself.
"Never thought that after so many years, there would still be someone able to reach the summit of the Second Judge." The Second Judge pondered, looking at the First Judge. "Speaking of which, when you ascended the Spiritual Hollow Mountain back then, did you unravel the mysteries of the mountain?"
The other judges looked over. They were curious too.
"I can"t say," the First Judge said.
The other judges were disappointed.
"After w.a.n.g Teng ascended to the summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, he disappeared for a very short period!" The Seventh Judge suddenly dropped a bomb.
"What!?" The First Judge was about to close his eyes, no longer interested in the matter. However, upon hearing the Seventh Judge"s words, he widened his eyes again.
"Disappeared!" The other judges were equally astonished.
"Why did he disappear?" The Third Judge asked in surprise.
"I don"t know." The Seventh Judge looked at the First Judge as if expecting to find the answers from him.
The First Judge furrowed his brow, full of confusion, evidently not knowing the details. Back then, he had only managed to discern some clues and had not truly encountered the phenomenon.
"It seems that this w.a.n.g Teng has an extraordinary fate," the Second Judge remarked meaningfully after a brief silence.
"After his return, our president and the two true G.o.ds took him away. No one knows where he went. Shortly afterward, news spread from the academy that no one had accepted him as a disciple," the Seventh Judge explained.
"No one accepted him as a disciple?" The other judges were astounded.
"Considering w.a.n.g Teng"s talent, it"s impossible for no one to accept him as a disciple." The Third Judge expressed doubt.
"That is the most intriguing part of the story," the Sixth Judge added.
"I recall that upon reaching the summit of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain, one could enter the Grand Universe Hall and choose a legacy," the Second Judge mentioned.
"Indeed!" The First Judge confirmed.
He was the only one who managed to enter the Grand Universe Hall because he reached the peak of the Spiritual Hollow Mountain.
"It seems that w.a.n.g Teng also entered the Grand Universe Hall," the Third Judge said with a touch of envy. "We just don"t know what kind of legacy he received."
"First Judge, can you finally reveal what legacy you obtained back then?" The Second Judge inquired.
"An eternal-stage legacy!" The First Judge replied calmly.
"An eternal-stage legacy!" The other judges were taken aback.
"It appears you were already far ahead of us at that time," the Second Judge remarked meaningfully, looking at the First Judge.
"What kind of legacy do you think w.a.n.g Teng will get?" The Fourth Judge asked.
"At most, an eternal-stage one!" The Fifth Judge stated.
"Yes, with his talent, he should be able to obtain an eternal-stage legacy," the Second Judge nodded.
"So, what do you think of w.a.n.g Teng"s arrangement?" There was a strange look in the Seventh Judge"s eyes as he changed the topic.
"Are there any other instructions from the academy"s higher-ups?" The Second Judge inquired.
"Not at the moment," replied the Seventh Judge.
"The current issue is how we should handle the placement of w.a.n.g Teng," the Fourth Judge stated.
"Since the academy hasn"t provided specific instructions, we will stick to the original decision," the Fifth Judge calmly said. "Being an a.s.sociate council member is sufficient for a new student."
"That settles it!" The Seventh Judge declared.
He didn"t deviate from the original decision.
The gathering of the seven Judgments to discuss this matter was merely a formality according to the rules of the Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation.
"The councilor a.s.sessment is approaching," the Sixth Judge suddenly remarked.
"With his ability, it"s too early for him to partic.i.p.ate in the councilor a.s.sessment. Let him be a council a.s.sociate member first," the Seventh Judge said.
"w.a.n.g Teng doesn"t accept the invitation. Forcing him into this role might lead to trouble," the Third Judge frowned.
"And many strong individuals from your Seventh Stellar Academy are probably keeping an eye on him. This matter is no longer so simple," the Second Judge added.
"He"s just a freshman. Even if his talent is indeed remarkable, it shouldn"t lead the academy"s strong figures to intervene in our affairs at the Academy Arbitration a.s.sociation. This has never happened before," the Fourth Judge chuckled.
"It"s hard to say." The Second Judge shook his head.
"Since opinions are not unanimous, let"s put it to a vote," the Third Judge proposed.
"Alright!"
The judges agreed.
After a round of voting, the results quickly emerged.
Only the First Judge opposed, surprising the other judges.
The Fourth and Sixth Judge chose to support the decision of the Seventh Judge, while the rest abstained.
In the end, the Seventh Judge won with two votes.
"Then let"s stick to the original decision." The Seventh Judge"s lips curved slightly.
The other judges didn"t say more, their figures disappearing from their seats.
