Chapter 3158: What Kind of Magic Is This? Two-Star Envoy! Excited...

Caught completely off guard, Wang Teng once again became the focus of the entire field.

The gazes of those immortal-level existences flared bright as light bulbs, falling upon him in unison.

And then there were the many true-god-level existences.

Not only True God Candle Dragon, True God Chi Huang, and the others, but even those ten true-god projections looked down upon him.

This pressure was simply terrifying, alright!

Though most of them bore good intentions, the sheer number of people and their overwhelming power inevitably created immense pressure.

Wang Teng took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.

"Wang Teng, are you nervous right now?"

Yuan Gun Gun’s voice drifted over, carrying a slightly teasing smile.

"A small scene!"

"Just a small scene!"

Wang Teng said faintly:

"What haven't I seen? This situation is nothing but a small scene; you just get used to it."

"..."

Yuan Gun Gun fell silent for a moment, desperately wanting to spit in his face.

This was a small scene?

Then what on earth was a grand scene?

Damn it!

Would you die if you didn't show off?

Yuan Gun Gun complained fiercely in his heart, then asked curiously, "Any guess as to what level you can reach this time?"

"What, you can't even wait this short a while?"

Wang Teng asked in return.

"Not really, I just want to see if you have an expectation in mind," Yuan Gun Gun said, shaking his head.

"An expectation?" Wang Teng also shook his head. "You're thinking too much. I might as well expect the Star God level, but is that something one can just expect?"

"..."

Yuan Gun Gun was choked up again, feeling incredibly uncomfortable all over.

Why was it so easy to get angry when talking to this guy?

Was it because his own self-cultivation was still lacking?

Yuan Gun Gun was now learning to find the problem within himself.

Blame Wang Teng?

That would be too naive.

The other guy would roast him until he doubted his very existence.

"I think you should be able to reach the Star Envoy level!"

Bingtis spoke up again, her tone carrying a sense of certainty.

"Star Envoy!!!"

Yuan Gun Gun's mind shook, and he could no longer bother with his heartache, immediately pressing, "Really?"

"With the contributions of that Venerable Star Meteor, he was promoted by two star levels, reaching the Nine-Star Ordinary Glory Badge."

Bingtis explained calmly:

"Wang Teng is just like him, originally holding a Seven-Star Ordinary Glory Badge, but his contributions are far greater..."

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" Yuan Gun Gun seemed to have discovered the crucial point, uttering three consecutive exclamations.

"So that means Wang Teng can definitely reach the Star Envoy level!"

He instantly grew excited, so thrilled he could barely contain himself, as if the person being promoted were he himself.

Wang Teng raised an eyebrow, not expecting Bingtis to see through this point, which he had indeed overlooked earlier.

Not just him, but most of the other people present probably hadn't thought of this either.

Those successive conferments were enough to distract everyone's attention.

In the final analysis, this matter was simply too important.

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have poured all their focus into their own conferments, to the point of having no mind left to pay attention to others.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Becoming a Star Envoy means your authority in the universe will be completely different from now on."

Yuan Gun Gun said with boundless excitement:

"From a councilor of the Starry Sky Academy Arbitration Committee to a Star Envoy of the Hall of Many Stars, it really is a meteoric rise."

"Alright! Alright!" Wang Teng hurriedly interrupted him. "The results aren't out yet, don't celebrate too early."

"True." Yuan Gun Gun tried his best to calm down and said, "It's still too early to rejoice."

Just then.

The corners of that Star Envoy from the Hall of Many Stars curved upward ever so slightly, a movement so minuscule it was almost imperceptible.

But Wang Teng still sensed the other party's smile.

There was no malice!

The other party merely seemed to find it amusing.

Speechless in his heart, Wang Teng felt as though this True God was playing with him.

What a pit!

Couldn't they just speak properly?

"Wang Teng, what star level do you think you can achieve?"

That Star Envoy spoke, his voice very flat, yet the question he asked caused everyone to freeze slightly.

What the hell?

Instead of conferring the honor, this Star Envoy was actually asking the person about to be honored?

What kind of miraculous operation was this?

Differential treatment!

This was proper differential treatment!

Everyone sensed something, and the looks they directed at Wang Teng held a touch more astonishment.

Even this Star Envoy from the Hall of Many Stars regarded Wang Teng with such high esteem?!!

It was simply unbelievable!

Even when bestowing honors upon the two True Gods, the other party had not shown such exceptional treatment.

One had to know that those two True Gods had reached the levels of Five-Star and Six-Star Constellation Envoys, which was far higher than Wang Teng.

Of course, if one spoke of sheer potential, Wang Teng's was undoubtedly more terrifying.

This was a fact that everyone had to acknowledge.

True God Yaofeng's eyes darkened slightly; this Envoy from the Hall of All Stars had completely disrupted His plans.

With the other party prizing Wang Teng so highly, if He were to continue His attempt...

"Hmph!!"

True God Yaofeng remained silent for a moment, a cold snort echoing in His heart.

"No one shall stop me!"

"As long as it goes undetected, what can the Hall of All Stars possibly do to me?"

The Hall of All Stars had already suppressed His ascension this time, which had infuriated Him inwardly, so He naturally cared even less for them now.

"Listen to that! Just listen!"

Hearing the Envoy's words, Yuan Gungun's voice instantly exploded inside Wang Teng's mind.

"Judging by what they mean, your star rank is clearly not low at all!"

Bairis also nodded and said, "Indeed. If it were too low, He wouldn't act this way."

Wang Teng felt a surge of joy in his heart, yet his facial expression remained entirely unchanged. He simply rose, cupped his fists, and said calmly, "This junior cannot guess. I ask Senior to please enlighten me."

"You are quite the slippery one." The Envoy shook his head with a faint smile, yet he did not seem inclined to give up just yet, adding, "If you can guess correctly, I shall grant you an Immortal-level treasure, chosen at your whim from my personal collection."

Wang Teng's eyes instantly lit up.

Now, this was something worth considering!

Initially, he had been reluctant to guess because there was no benefit involved, and guessing too high would easily make him a laughingstock.

But with a treasure on the line, he was suddenly wide awake.

"An Immortal-level treasure!"

"Good grief!"

"How come such a stroke of fortune never falls upon me?"

"You? Forget it. We have only just ascended to the One-Star Ordinary Badge of Honor. What right do we have to claim a treasure?"

"True, the gap between us is simply too vast."

...

Startled voices suddenly erupted all around.

The Envoy's words had taken everyone completely by surprise; none had expected such a fortuitous turn of events.

Merely making a guess at what star rank he could attain, with an Immortal-level treasure to be won if correct—how was this any different from a free gift?

Even if he guessed wrong, there was absolutely nothing to lose.

Everyone looked upon Wang Teng with an underlying envy.

It truly seemed as though every good fortune in the universe had been monopolized by him alone.

"Wang Teng, quick, guess! Guess now! That is an Immortal-level treasure, it would be foolish not to take it," Yuan Gungun immediately urged.

Wang Teng did not refuse this time, but instead inquired, "What star rank should I guess? Do you two have any suggestions?"

"I just did the math, comparing your situation with Venerable Xingyun and True God Chihuang. Your military exploits might very well reach the level of a Two-Star Constellation Envoy," Yuan Gungun stated without delay.

No one was more enthusiastic about such matters than he was, and no one was more dependable.

As an intelligent lifeform, his computational prowess naturally required no elaboration.

So long as he was provided with accurate data, he could precisely calculate the desired outcome.

"The level of a Two-Star Constellation Envoy, is it!"

Wang Teng fell into a brief contemplation.

Truth be told, this star rank was somewhat high.

Previously, he had only dared to think of the One-Star Constellation Envoy level, not daring to dream of a Two-Star rank at all.

He had not expected the result of Yuan Gungun's calculations to actually be the level of a Two-Star Constellation Envoy.

"Bairis, what do you think?" Wang Teng asked once more, still uncertain.

"The level of a Two-Star Constellation Envoy was originally a bit of a stretch because ascending from an Ordinary Badge of Honor to a Constellation Envoy Badge of Honor is considered a leap across social strata, requiring an immense amount of military merit."

Bairis pondered for a moment before speaking slowly:

"I also initially believed you could only ascend to a One-Star Constellation Envoy, but this bestowal actually involves a human element."

"A human element!?" Wang Teng was taken aback.

"Yes." Bairis nodded. "Just like True God Yaofeng."

A sudden realization dawned upon Wang Teng, and he said, "So this bestowal, besides being based on the quantity of merit, also involves a subjective factor."

"Precisely!" Bairis said. "The Hall of All Stars is also composed of living beings; they are merely a group of relatively powerful beings, so subjective factors will naturally exist."

Wang Teng became thoughtful. "Are you saying that those powerhouses of the Hall of All Stars think highly of me? Therefore, I have a chance to reach the Two-Star Constellation Envoy level?"

"Mm, one can discern a hint of that from the attitude of that Envoy," Bairis stated with certainty.

"Since that's the case, then I shall guess the Two-Star Constellation Envoy level." Wang Teng made the decision on the spot.

There was nothing to hesitate about.

Just as they had said, even a wrong guess would cost him nothing.

"Since Senior has extended such a gracious invitation, this junior shall give it a try."

"However, if I guess incorrectly, I hope the various seniors will not mock this junior."

Wang Teng cupped his hands to the surroundings, pre-emptively buffering himself against any potential embarrassment.

"Guess! Guess whatever you want! In a situation like this, aiming high is definitely the right move. Whoever laughs at you is a fool!"

Venerable Zhumo gave him plenty of face by chiming in, laughing heartily.

True God Yaofeng's face stiffened; He couldn't help but feel that the other party's words carried an underlying insinuation, as if targeting Him specifically.

"Wang Teng, go ahead and guess to your heart's content. It matters not if you guess too high; we are not so petty as to mock you for that."

Venerable Xingyun cast a glance at Wang Teng, likewise offering a word of comfort.

"Indeed, it is merely guessing a star rank, what grand matter could it be?"

"A guess is meant to be unexpected to be interesting. If it falls entirely within everyone's expectations, where is the fun in that?"

"Right, right, those words hit the mark perfectly!"

...

Many people present joined in the chorus, all looking upon Wang Teng with goodwill.

Knowing full well that Wang Teng's star rank promotion would certainly not be low, why should they play the villain, giving ample face was enough.

"Then this junior shall boldly venture a guess."

Wang Teng felt a slight sense of relief in his heart, not expecting these Immortal-level existences to be so accommodating; with these words of theirs, if anyone were to mock him in the future, they would only be making fools of themselves.

The Star Envoy cast a deeply meaningful glance around the room, gesturing for Wang Teng to continue.

"This junior guesses he can reach... the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy!"

Wang Teng did not say much, only spitting out those few words from his mouth.

"The rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy!!!"

Although everyone had long been psychologically prepared, estimating that Wang Teng's guess would not be low, they never expected him to straight away guess the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy.

This boldness was more than just considerable.

No wonder he had to layer himself in armor beforehand.

Suddenly, everyone understood.

As it turned out, Wang Teng never played by conventional rules.

True God Yaofeng wanted to sneer, but the moment he recalled the words everyone had spoken just now, he was instantly choked up.

He held it in with great discomfort.

Even the muscles on his face could not help but twitch.

Damn it!

How could this brat be so cunning!

He had clearly anticipated their anticipation, completely blocking off the path, leaving them not even a single chance to mock him.

Silence!

At this moment, everyone fell into silence.

They all knew not what to say, and could only turn their gazes toward the Star Envoy of the Hall of All Stars.

The Star Envoy gazed deeply at Wang Teng for a moment before saying, "You guessed correctly, your star rank has indeed reached the level of a Two-Star Star Envoy!!"

The voice had just fallen.

"Boom!!!"

The crowd erupted into an uproar, shifting from absolute stillness to extreme motion, as if a pot had instantly boiled over.

"Holy crap!"

"It really is the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy!"

"How can it be this absurd?"

"I thought Wang Teng was already absurd enough, I didn't expect reality to be even more absurd!"

"Isn't that right, how on earth did he reach the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy?"

"Even Old Man Ji is only at the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy!"

...

The people present found it utterly hard to believe, looking at Wang Teng, then looking at the Star Envoy, as if wanting to know if this was fake?

Too magical!

How could it be so magical?

To elevate Wang Teng, a Domain Master level martial warrior, to the rank of a Star Envoy, and a Two-Star one at that, the Hall of All Stars truly dared to do so.

Originally, they thought that if the Hall of All Stars could allow Wang Teng to reach the rank of a One-Star Star Envoy, that would already be considered exceedingly high.

At least he would have stepped into that realm, which was on an entirely different tier compared to ordinary Glory Badges.

Yet the Hall of All Stars directly granted him the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy!

This could no longer be described merely as generous.

"I guessed right!"

"It actually really is the rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy!"

Wang Teng's heart was also immensely astonished; even with the deductions of Yuan Gungun and Bingsidi, actually learning this answer at this moment meant the emotions in his heart still could not settle down.

Awesome!

The Hall of All Stars is too damn grand!

From now on, he would be the most loyal lackey of the Hall of All Stars; whoever dared speak ill of the Hall of All Stars, he would turn against them on the spot.

"We're rich! We're rich! We're rich!"

Yuan Gungun was even more excited than Wang Teng, shouting and screaming within his mind, utterly unable to calm down.

"Wang Teng, you've really hit the big time this time, a Two-Star Star Envoy, you've directly become a Two-Star Star Envoy!"

"In the future, won't we be walking sideways through the universe?"

"Whoever dares to bully the few with the many or the young with the old again, we'll just pull out the Hall of All Stars to crush them to death."

He spoke incoherently, as if wanting to vent all of his excitement out.

Bingsidi also breathed a slight sigh of relief; before it had only been a guess after all, and now the answer was finally obtained.

The rank of a Two-Star Star Envoy was indeed very high!

Even she had to admit this point.

Wang Teng had already walked ahead of quite a few True God level existences, and at the same time, he could be considered to have truly stepped into the upper echelons of the universe, with limitless prospects ahead of him.

"That is not right!"

A cold voice abruptly resounded.

Subconsciously following the sound, everyone looked over and found that the person speaking was none other than True God Yaofeng, their hearts filled with utter speechlessness; why had this gentleman come out to make his presence felt again.

Weren't the lessons learned previously enough?
