Chapter 3242 So you think you’re number one right off the bat?! What do you mean, “your people”? Don’t talk nonsense! The Invincible Legacy!
“The so-called Universe Top 100 Tournament is actually similar to your Starry Sky Academy’s Top 100 Tournament.”
Nancy explained slowly while sipping her wine.
“It’s just that the Universe Top 100 Tournament has more participants and a wider reach; geniuses and powerhouses from all the major forces in the universe can participate.”
“Wait!”
Wang Teng suddenly interrupted her.
“According to you, it’s not just geniuses?”
“Of course.” Nancy wasn’t annoyed and nodded, saying, “The universe is so vast; to ensure fairness, it’s natural to allow those so-called ‘powerhouses’ to participate.”
“This—is it fair?” Wang Teng raised an eyebrow.
Some people have cultivated for much longer, potentially thousands of years less than those geniuses; how can that be fair?
“It’s only relatively fair.”
Nancy shook her head and scoffed, “Some people think that geniuses receive too many resources, while ordinary martial artists can only struggle on their own.”
“So they believe that time can offset the gap between them.”
She said this with a hint of disdain.
If time could compensate for a lack of talent, the universe would have been turned upside down long ago.
She acknowledged the existence of martial artists who accumulated experience over time or achieved greatness late in life, but they were extremely rare.
Out of tens of millions of martial artists, perhaps only one would emerge.
They were exceptions.
Wang Teng understood, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
Let time be the way it is; it made no difference to him anyway.
He was already cheating; what more could he ask of others?
Give him a chance.
People shouldn’t be so hypocritical!
Nancy glanced at him, seeing that he didn’t take it seriously, and couldn’t help but nod inwardly.
Sure enough, Wang Teng and she shared the same thoughts.
It was a feeling of being recognized.
Of course, she didn’t know Wang Teng’s true thoughts.
“Actually, there are some quite strong martial artists among them, not to be underestimated,”
Alvis interjected. “
They are indeed strong, but they won’t cause any real trouble,” Nancy said.
She had seen previous top 100 competitions, but how many of those who made it onto the list actually did so through sheer time?
“There are definitely some, but the proportion is extremely small.
Out of a hundred strong individuals, could there be twenty?”
Alvis nodded, saying nothing more. He knew Nancy was right.
And judging from her expression, she clearly knew the specifics and wouldn’t completely disregard those martial artists.
Wang Teng remained indifferent, only wondering if those “old relics” might offer some good deals.
After all, living long is an asset.
Perhaps there would be unexpected gains?
Back then, the Blood God’s clone had seen some previous generations of Dark Race geniuses in the Dark Race’s lair.
It has to be said, they did have some skill; they couldn’t be completely dismissed as trash.
“Speaking of which, what’s the reward for winning first place?”
Wang Teng asked curiously. “
Winning first place!
First place right off the bat, huh? Damn it!
Are prodigies this arrogant?”
The assembled geniuses were all itching to fight, their gazes towards Wang Teng filled with resentment.
Although they knew they were no match for Wang Teng, seeing him lock in first place right away made them uneasy.
What kind of top 100 competition is this?!
For these geniuses, who among those participating in the top 100 competition didn’t dream of the number one spot?
But Wang Teng had essentially killed the competition; what motivation did they have to compete?
“Are you really that confident you can win first place?” Nancy asked cryptically.
“So-so, barely passable,” Wang Teng replied casually. “
What
the hell? So-so, barely passable!
Are you being modest or just arrogant, you bastard?”
These nonchalant words completely shattered everyone’s defenses.
The more relaxed and casual Wang Teng appeared, the harder it was for them to accept.
Yue Qiqiao watched from the side, her lips twitching. She felt Wang Teng was practically courting death, but there was nothing she could do.
She could only weakly say, “Don’t listen to his nonsense; he didn’t even have a chance to participate.”
“That’s right!”
Everyone suddenly realized.
Damn it!
Wang Teng had no chance to participate at all, yet he was talking about winning first place—wasn’t that just bullshit?
Instantly, everyone felt a sense of balance.
Let him be so smug!
“7
Wang Teng looked at Yue Qiqiao with a hint of resentment. ‘Whose family are you anyway?’
Although he believed he could participate in this so-called top 100 competition, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Now, seeing the others’ gloating expressions, he felt a little annoyed. He
felt like he’d been outmaneuvered.
And it was even from his own people who had betrayed him.
Yue Qiqiao glared at him, thinking that she was doing this for this jerk, and he didn’t even appreciate it.
‘Oh ho, this little girl!’
Wang Teng, being the quick-witted person he was, instantly understood her intentions upon seeing her expression.
He couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Garlic bird! Garlic bird!
Anyway, it’s not a big deal.
Let’s just consider it a little something to make these geniuses happy, to give them a little psychological comfort.
When the top 100 competition comes, they probably won’t be happy anymore.
Even without him, Wang Teng, can’t there be other geniuses?
Wu Teng, Huang Teng, or anyone else, just one of them would be enough to give them a hard time.
Wang Teng has plenty of clones.”
“What a pity!”
Nancy shook her head, looking extremely regretful, and said, “Since you can’t participate, I’ll just have to satisfy your thirst for knowledge and reluctantly give you a little ‘Xi Shuo’ (a type of Chinese idiom).”
“Xi Shuo! Xi Shuo!” Wang Teng gave her a strange look, his mind wandering.
Wait a minute!
Stop!
My thoughts are getting dirty!
A little voice in Wang Teng’s mind frantically shook its head, trying to shake off those weird ideas.
Nancy, unaware of Wang Teng’s thoughts, even raised an eyebrow at him triumphantly and immediately said, “First of all, the first place winner of the top 100 competition will receive a title. Guess what it is?”
“————” Wang Teng was speechless. She’d only said one sentence and she was already keeping him in suspense. How could she be so shameless?
He rolled his eyes at Nancy, about to retort, when a sudden thought struck him, and he said, “Could it be invincible within the same realm?”
“Holy crap!” Nancy’s eyes widened, she cursed, and asked incredulously, “How did you guess that?”
Alvis, Yu Huang, and the others also looked at Wang Teng in utter surprise, clearly not expecting him to be right.
Wasn’t he supposed to know nothing about these things?
How could he guess so easily?
“Wait, did you already know, and were you just teasing us?” Nancy asked suspiciously.
“Am I that kind of person?” Wang Teng said speechlessly.
Nancy stared at him with suspicion for a while before saying, “Okay, I’ll believe you this time.”
“Looks like I guessed pretty accurately.” Wang Teng laughed.
At the same time, he was also extremely surprised.
Invincible within the same realm!!!
He didn’t expect it to really be that title.
Incredible!
Even though he always thought he could be invincible within the same realm, he had never tried it before, nor had he received true recognition. Whether
someone was invincible or not, he would only know after fighting them.
Who dares to call themselves invincible if they haven’t fought?
If they were defeated, wouldn’t that be the biggest joke?
There’s no first in literature, but there’s a second in martial arts.
Being invincible within one’s realm isn’t just a great honor, but also immense pressure.
One must have sufficient strength to bear such a title.
Now the opportunity has arrived.
As long as one wins first place in the Universe Top 100 Tournament, they will be universally recognized as invincible within their realm, and no one can say anything about it.
Anyone disagree?
Then come and defeat them.
“How did you guess that?” Nancy was genuinely curious and couldn’t help but ask.
“Well, I just guessed.”
Wang Teng suddenly felt a little guilty; he couldn’t say that.
How embarrassing! He could just think about it himself; if he said it aloud, what would others think of him?
Would they think he was too arrogant?
“Something’s not right!”
Nancy didn’t believe him at all, her face full of inquiry as she scrutinized him, saying, “Something’s very strange about you.”
“I know how he guessed it,” Yue Qiqiao suddenly raised her hand.
“Oh?”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, “Tell us!”
“Yue Qiqiao, are you rebelling?” Wang Teng’s heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling creeping over him, and he glared at her.
Yue Qiqiao chuckled, not intimidated at all.
“Don’t be afraid, just say it, we’ll back you up.” Nancy put her arm around Yue Qiqiao’s shoulder and said boldly.
“Back you up my ass, she’s mine, can you handle that?” Wang Teng rolled his eyes at Nancy.
“Uh… what do you mean ‘your person’? Ask Yue Qiqiao, does she even acknowledge it?” Nancy said disdainfully.
Yue Qiqiao’s ears turned slightly red, and she chimed in, “Exactly, what do you mean ‘your person’? Don’t talk nonsense, you’re ruining my reputation.
“
Wang Teng was speechless.
Good heavens!
These two women actually teamed up.
Is this how they’re going to do it?
“Come on, ladies~ tell us loudly, let’s see if this guy dares to put up with this crap.” Nancy urged.
Yue Qiqiao revealed a sly smile and said, “This guy must have always thought he was invincible in his realm, so when you mentioned it, he immediately realized it.”
Wang Teng’s face darkened instantly, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
Damn it, she really hit the nail on the head. Does this woman read
his mind?
She guessed so accurately!
“Tsk tsk tsk~”
Nancy looked at Wang Teng, seeing his changing expression, she knew Yue Qiqiao had hit the nail on the head, and couldn’t help but click her tongue a few times meaningfully.
Alvis and the others also looked at Wang Teng, their gazes becoming extremely strange.
Even though Wang Teng was indeed incredibly talented, having such a thing said was still a bit embarrassing.
This guy was not only arrogant, but also a bit pretentious. He
actually thought he was invincible in his realm!
He really dared to dream like that!
As top geniuses from various forces, they never dared to have such delusions, not even a tiny bit of hope.
After all, a martial artist who doesn’t want to be number one isn’t a good martial artist.
But this was ultimately a secret that couldn’t be spoken aloud.
Once it’s said aloud, the meaning changes.
“Tsk, what tsk!”
After the initial embarrassment, Wang Teng quickly recovered.
He glared fiercely at Yue Qiqiao and said matter-of-factly, “You dare say you haven’t thought about it?” “
If you don’t want this title of invincible among your peers, why did you participate in the Top 100 Tournament?”
Everyone’s expressions immediately became extremely subtle. What Wang Teng said made sense; who wouldn’t want to compete for first place in the Top 100 Tournament?
“Ahem~”
Nancy coughed lightly, scratched her cheek with her finger, her eyes darting around, and quickly changed the subject.
“This title of invincible among your peers is the first benefit; now let’s talk about the second benefit.”
Her voice became serious, and her expression became extremely earnest.
“It’s said that the winner of the Top 100 Tournament can enter a special place and receive the legacy of the previous Top 100 Tournament winners.”
“Hmm?!”
Wang Teng’s expression brightened, intrigued. He asked, “The legacy of the previous Top 100 Tournament winners? Does that mean all the winners?”
“Yes!” Nancy nodded, a hint of longing in her eyes. “It means all the winners.”
“It seems that the winners of the Top 100 Tournament leave a projection and legacy in that special place; it’s a tradition.”
“However, I’ve only heard about it; I’m not entirely sure if it’s true.”
She then looked at Alvis and the others.
“I’ve heard about it too.” Alvis nodded.
The other geniuses from the major powers also nodded.
“Then it must be true.”
Wang Teng stroked his chin, somewhat curious. “I wonder if the legacies of those Top 100 Tournament winners are all extraordinary?
“
Nancy, Alvis, and the others also showed longing and curiosity.
The legacies of all the previous Top 100 Tournament winners!
It’s obvious how powerful it is; obtaining it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
“I’ve heard that the closer a champion is to the top 100 of this era, the easier it is to obtain their legacy,”
Alvis revealed a secret.
“And the more ancient the champion of the top 100, the harder their legacy is to obtain.”
“After all, so much time has passed; their legacy is hidden in history.”
“Furthermore, some legacies may have already been obtained, making their remaining traces faint.”
“It becomes extremely difficult for people of our time to obtain them.”
“But you should know that the more ancient the powerhouse, the more precious and rare their legacy is.”
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell.
Everyone was captivated by this secret, lost in thought and awe.
The legacy left by an ancient powerhouse!
This is absolutely extraordinary!
All martial artists share a consensus: ancient legacies are generally quite remarkable.
After all, those that have survived for so long naturally possess advantages.
Legacies without advantages would have long since vanished into the river of history.
“I didn’t know about this,”
Nancy said with a sigh. “So, this inheritance is a huge temptation. No wonder so many people want to compete for first place. It’s not just about honor; there are unexpected benefits too.”
She did know about the inheritance at first and was interested in it, but never as much as she was now.
After what Alvis said, she felt like she wanted to try her best to get first place.
