They weren't stupid. A talent who was able to enter the Star Rankings definitely wasn't weak. They would be asking for humiliation if they went up now.
Even if they wanted to challenge Wang Teng, they would wait for a few years after entering the stellar academies.
Many people felt that Wang Teng was stupid to choose the Seventh Stellar Academy. They were being polite when they called him unwise. Actually, many people were mocking Wang Teng secretly.
They felt that after choosing the Seventh Stellar Academy, Wang Teng's future was half-destroyed no matter how talented he was.
They might not be as powerful as Wang Teng now, but they could catch up with him in a few years.
There were instances like this in the past.
Many talents who entered the Seventh Stellar Academy were full of confidence at the start but after a few years, they became ordinary.
This was why the Seventh Stellar Academy was always at the bottom.
Of course, this 'ordinary' referred to becoming normal talents.
The Seventh Stellar Academy was still a stellar academy. No matter how bad it was, the students wouldn't be worse than normal martial warriors.
Around three hours later, the warship suddenly vibrated and soared into the sky.
"We're leaving!"
The talented martial warriors on the warship were exhilarated. Many of them had been waiting for a few days. Finally, they could leave.
Wang Teng, Ji Haochen, and the others stood up and looked out of the warship.
The warship flew out of the meteor below them and entered the Chaotic Star Sea.
An endless surge of chaotic liquid energy came forth, only to be shattered by this immense and colossal warship. The warship, like a sharp knife, resolutely sailed towards the depths of the Chaotic Star Sea.
The genius warriors on board were greatly astonished. They gathered around the edge of the ship to witness this spectacle.
Generally speaking, as genius warriors, their perspectives should be broad. However, it was their first time witnessing such a magnificent sight.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})The Chaotic Star Sea was famous in the outside world, but it was only among the powerful martial warriors.
These talented martial warriors had never been here.
This was even the first time many of them saw a void torrent belt.
"Look, what are the instructors doing?" Someone whispered.
Many people looked up. There were two decks in this warship. The young martial warriors were on the lower deck while the eternal stage instructors were on the upper deck.
"Fishing!"
"They seem to be fishing!"
Exclamations escaped the mouths of these genius warriors as they witnessed someone fishing within the Chaotic Star Sea for the first time. They were all utterly shocked by this sight.
Wang Teng looked up in surprise too.
He thought of many things. Besides the void torrent belt, they could fish in this Chaotic Star Sea too.
Why else would Sikong The Second have brought his fishing rod along?
After all, void torrent belts weren't easy to find. Which eternal stage martial warrior would go to a void torrent belt to fish for no reason?
Everything made sense after he saw this scene.
This was because the Seven Stellar Academies were in the Chaotic Star Sea. The instructors from the Seven Stellar Academies must have been fishing frequently.
"You can fish in the Chaotic Star Sea!"
Ji Haochen and the others exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Teng chuckled in his heart. He wondered what their expressions would be like if they knew that he had fished personally.
"I wonder what's below?" Ji Haochen asked in surprise.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"There's fish," Wang Teng replied seriously.
"There's are fish?" Ji Haochen and the others looked over and asked curiously. "That's impossible. Fishing isn't always about catching fish. You have never fished before, so you don't understand. The instructors might seem to be fishing, but this is the Chaotic Star Sea, not the real sea. I feel that they might be fishing for something else."
"You make sense." Wang Teng glanced at him with a strange expression.
I've never fished before so I don't understand.
This fellow sounds so confident people might think that he had fished before.
However, Ji Haochen was right. There should be more exquisite things below the Chaotic Star Sea.
These eternal stage instructors might not be fishing. They might be hoping to catch something else.
At this moment, one of the instructors got lucky and his fishing rod was suddenly pulled downwards, indicating that something took the bait.
"Hahaha…"
A burst of laughter echoed from above as the mentor exerted a strong force, pulling out a massive blackfish from the Chaotic Star Sea. The liquid energy splashed around, resembling glistening water droplets under the sunlight, radiating a sparkling brilliance.
Everyone looked at Ji Haochen in unplanned unison.
Who was the one who said that there might not be fish?
Isn't this a fish?
They almost believed his nonsense.
"Cough, so it's really a fish." Ji Haochen coughed awkwardly, his facial muscles twitching, overwhelmed by a sudden wave of embarrassment.
The fish that glided through the air happened to pass right in front of him. Its lifeless fish eyes locked with his for a brief moment as if mocking him.
"It's alright. Besides fish, there must be other things below." Wang Teng held back his laughter and patted his shoulder to console him.
Ji Haochen: …
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})It would have been better if he didn't comfort him. It made him even more awkward.
He glared at Wang Teng. This fellow was laughing at him, right? He must be.
"Pfft!" Yue Qiqiao burst out laughing when she saw his expression.
Ji Haochen's face turned black. He felt like he had truly made a fool of himself.
If the first thing the instructor caught wasn't a fish, he wouldn't feel so awkward.
Ironically, just moments ago, he had adamantly declared that it was impossible to catch any fish. Yet, the first mentor managed to hook a fish, which happened to pass right before him. What a stroke of luck!
Wasn't this a slap on his face?
…
At the same time, on the upper deck of the warship, a few instructors were chatting casually.
"It's a Black Blade Fish!"
Everyone gathered around the black fish and started commenting.
The instructor who caught this black fish was an old man around 50 years old. He seemed quite happy.
The Black Blade Fish was a large fish with a sleek, jet-black body shaped like a blade. It was considered a relatively precious species, known for its excellent flesh and its ability to enhance the physical body of heaven stage martial warriors. While its effects may not be significant for them, it was a valuable resource for young martial warriors.
"Old Geng, it looks like you're quite lucky today. You caught a Black Blade Fish in such a short time," someone said.
"Hahaha, this is just the start. I'm sure everyone will get lucky later." Geng Zhizhen waved his hand and laughed.
"Old Two, do you want to compete with me today?" Shu Chu suddenly opened his mouth and asked Sikong The Second.
"No!" Sikong The Second held the fishing rod in his hand and replied calmly without turning his head.
"Hey, Sikong The Second, aren't you always enthusiastic about competitions? Why aren't you participating today?" someone nearby commented.
"Sigh, don't talk about it." Sikong The Second didn't like Shu Chu but he had to give face to the other instructors. He said in frustration, "I just lost to a junior a few days ago. I'm not in the mood to compete anymore."
"You lost to a junior!"
"Really? You will lose to a junior?"
"Did you go easy on him?"
Everyone was stunned. They discussed fervently.
"Why will I lie to you? Am I supposed to be proud that I lost to a junior?" Sikong The Second was speechless.
"Who did you lose to? Tell us about it," someone said.
"Here, the one below." Sikong The Second pouted.
"Hey, isn't that the young man who got onto the Star Rankings? I think his name is Wang Teng, right?" The eternal stage martial warriors had good memory so they recognized Wang Teng instantly.
"That's right, it's him." Sikong The Second nodded.
This time, they believed him. After all, individuals with such exceptional talent often possessed extraordinary qualities, particularly a kind of luck that even they couldn't quite explain.
"What did he catch?" Shu Chu couldn't help but ask.
"Let me tell you what I caught first." Sikong The Second suddenly sniggered and piqued everyone's interest.
"Alright, speak." Everyone knew Sikong The Second's temperament. They could only urge him with a roll of their eyes.
"I caught four silver-scaled yellowfish and one of them is three meters long," Sikong The Second said proudly.
"Silver-scaled yellowfish!"
"Really? F**k, how lucky are you?"
The eternal stage martial warriors started shouting in envy, "No, those who listen will get a share. Hurry up and take it out."
