Chapter 958: How Are They?
The next morning, Wang Teng woke up from his cultivation. One night in the real world meant one day in the virtual universe. He could accomplish many things in one day. He could collect numerous attribute bubbles.
His ability rose, and all of his Forces increased. He was getting closer to breaking through to the celestial stage.
He walked out of the door and met Master Fan Taining. He had dark eye circles and was yawning continuously.
“Master Wang Teng, you’re awake,” Fan Taining greeted him after a pause.
“Master Fan, what happened to you?” Wang Teng was shocked. At their level, staying up one night wasn’t a problem. Fan Taining must have exhausted much of his energy to end up in this state.
“I’m fine. I studied the entire night after receiving your guidance and managed to achieve a breakthrough in my rune mastery. I didn’t waste your effort,” Master Fan Taining said happily.
“My effort?” Wang Teng was stunned. “What did I do? Why didn’t I know?”
He was a little irritated by Fan Taining’s pestering yesterday, so he answered a few of his questions subconsciously and threw him a few more questions for him to think.
Did he achieve a breakthrough because of that?
“Master Wang Teng, thank you so much. I have been stuck at this bottleneck for a long time. I’m lucky to have received your help.” Fan Taining suddenly grabbed Wang Teng’s hand. This old fellow seemed a little excited as he thanked him continuously.
Wang Teng felt goosebumps on his skin. He pulled the corners of his lips and hurriedly pulled his hand back. Laughing awkwardly, he said, “Haha, Master Fan, you’re too polite. This is the result of the knowledge you have accumulated over the years. I didn’t do much.”

“Oh right, after your breakthrough, you must be getting close to the grandmaster level, right?” Wang Teng quickly changed the topic.
“If everything goes smoothly, I’ll be able to advance to the grandmaster level within three years. If I’m able to have more conversations with you, it might be faster.” Fan Taining was glowing when he spoke about the advancement.
Again! Wang Teng felt his heart sinking.
Master Fan Taining was honestly irritating!
He had never met such an irritating old man.
“Haha, sure!” Wang Teng agreed with him, but in his heart, he reminded himself to stay away from Fan Taining in the future. He mustn’t get caught by him.
They were friends, but he wasn’t a beauty. He wouldn’t give him any chance to find him.
“Thank you,” Fan Taining thanked Wang Teng fervently. His eyes were glowing.
“When are we heading to the Secondary Career Alliance?” Wang Teng felt the corners of his eyes twitching. He changed the topic again.
“We’ll have breakfast first and head over immediately afterward.” Fan Taining chuckled when he saw how impatient Wang Teng was.
Thus, after breakfast, the two of them took a rune energy flying car to the Secondary Career Alliance.

This street was named after the empire’s divine beast.
It was said that the first emperor of the Great Qian Empire named this street personally when it was still in the designing phase. It had an extraordinary significance.
If one looked at it from a bird’s eye view, one would notice that this district was linked to many other locations. Large streams of people strolled through the streets. The main street in this district was directly linked to the outskirts of the Great Qian Palace.
However, the Great Qian Palace was separated from the street by a large plaza. No buildings were allowed to be constructed there.
As a high-tier civilization, many powerful factions chose to have a building in this city, for instance, the Universe Bank, the Virtual Universe Office, the Thousand Treasure Chamber, and many others. They were all scattered along the sides of the street.
As one of the giants in the universe, the Secondary Career Alliance had a building in this district too.
Wang Teng and Master Fan Taining alighted when they reached the Kunwu District. They strolled along the lively street and turned into a side road. After walking for about 100 meters, they stopped in front of a towering building.
How would one describe this building?
Wang Teng sized it up carefully. At this moment, he couldn’t find any words to explain the sight. In summary, this building was a compilation of all kinds of professional styles, which were portrayed in an extremely artistic manner.
However, it didn’t seem out-of-the-place. Instead, it looked unique and refreshing. He would probably remember this place even after he left the empire.
“What do you think? The style of our Secondary Career Alliance building is nice, right?” Master Fan Taining asked proudly.
“Indeed, it’s not bad.” Wang Teng nodded.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})“Of course. We invited many grandmaster-level architects to its construction. It took them many years and the building would be upgraded from time to time.” Fan Taining laughed as he led the way. “Come, let’s go in.”
Wang Teng glanced at the exterior of the Secondary Career Alliance and exclaimed in his heart. In the universe, the ancient factions had to use eras to count the time of their existence. Their foundations were extremely strong. They even put so much effort into the exterior of a building. It was amazing.
This thought flashed through his mind before he followed Fan Taining hurriedly.
They entered the Secondary Career Alliance. There were already many people in the building. People walked to and fro, making the scene lively.
Wang Teng scanned the room and saw countless blacksmiths, alchemists, runemasters, etc. They were from various races. Some of them had beast heads. They were definitely from the orc race, a common sight in the universe.

It wasn’t hard to distinguish their identity.
They were wearing the exclusive attire of the alliance, an elegant and luxurious purple gown with different symbols pasted on their chests. Alchemists would have a furnace symbol, blacksmiths would have a hammer symbol, runemasters would have a rune symbol… so on and so forth. It was simple and direct.
This reminded Wang Teng of the runemaster and alchemist assessment he took on the Xingwu Continent. Their system was similar.
But compared to them, the universe’s system was more complete and unified.
I wonder how they are? Wang Teng suddenly remembered Master Gorlin, Li Rongxue, and his other friends.
The danger on Earth was extremely pressing, so he had to leave his home and come to the universe to find a path to survival. He didn’t have the time to visit the Xingwu Continent.
After settling his identity problem, he could avert Earth’s crisis and should be able to find some time to head to the Xingwu Continent to solve the dark apparitions issue there.
It was still uncertain whether Earth and the Xingwu Continent could integrate further. He didn’t know either.
If they could, it would be a good solution for both parties. Integrating with the Xingwu Continent would be a good option for Earth if the people there wanted to enter the universe.
