“I just happen to want to go out and take a look. Let me see what wonders the Secondary Career Alliance headquarters holds,” Wang Teng said with a smile as he stepped out the door.

“You won’t be disappointed,” Grandmaster Alfred replied with a smile.

“Then let’s go,” Wang Teng said eagerly, waving his hand.

“Wait a moment,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan quickly stopped him.

“What’s wrong?” Wang Teng asked, puzzled.

“You’d better change into the attire of the Secondary Career Alliance first. It would be more convenient to wear the appropriate attire at the headquarters,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan explained with a smile. “And we’ve all brought your attire with us.”

As he spoke, he produced a neatly folded exquisite robe and handed it to Wang Teng.

“It seems I overlooked that,” Wang Teng said, looking down at his battle suit with a wry smile. He nodded, took the robe, and said, “Please wait a moment.”

“Go ahead, go ahead.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others smiled.

Wang Teng then walked into the house, closed the door, and removed his battle suit. He put on the robe that Grandmaster Hua Yuan had brought.

It was a robe of purple and gold, exquisitely beautiful, with a smooth and delicate surface that felt incredibly comfortable to the touch. Some runes hidden in the details could be seen, indicating that it was no ordinary garment.

With Wang Teng’s proficiency in runes, he immediately recognized the various effects of these runes, such as waterproofing, fireproofing, dustproofing, and even some defensive capabilities.

This level of defense was not inferior to a cosmos-level battle armor.

This robe reminded Wang Teng of the attire issued by the local secondary profession societies after passing the assessments for professions such as rune master and alchemist on the Xingwu Continent. The two were remarkably similar.

Admittedly, there were indeed many similarities between the secondary profession societies on the Xingwu Continent and the Secondary Career Alliance mechanism in the universe.

When Wang Teng first set foot in the universe, he felt this similarity.

Moreover, it was not just the Secondary Professions. There were also many similarities in martial arts.

Wang Teng often thought about these things, unable to help but speculate on the connection between the Xingwu Continent and the universe.

Could it be that someone from the Xingwu Continent had once entered the universe?

Or perhaps the Xingwu Continent was originally part of the universe, and their heritage came from the cosmos?

Countless thoughts crossed Wang Teng’s mind, leaving him unable to come back to reality for a long time.

After a moment, Wang Teng shook his head, no longer dwelling on it. He knew that he would understand these things when he returned to the Xingwu Continent in the future.

“Huh?”

As Wang Teng lowered his head, he suddenly exclaimed softly.

On his chest, he found himself wearing three distinct badges.

One of the badges bore the mark of a pill furnace, all in gold, with three stars surrounding it, making it very conspicuous.

“A third-rank grandmaster?” Wang Teng pondered. Initially, during his assessment in the Great Qian Empire, he refined the third-rank grandmaster pill, the Nine Essence Soul Congealing Pill. Therefore, he was determined to be at the third level. Later, because he didn’t go for formal certification again, this rank hadn’t changed much.

The second badge was adorned with runes forming a unique pattern, resembling an imprint.

Everyone knew that this mark represented the lineage of the rune masters in the Secondary Career Alliance.

Around this rune imprint were also three golden stars, representing the grandmaster third-rank level.

During Wang Teng’s first assessment, he also engraved a grandmaster third-rank array, making him a third-rank rune master.

The last badge depicted two crossed hammers, symbolizing the lineage of the blacksmiths.

Around those two hammers were four golden stars.

“Grandmaster fourth-rank!” Wang Teng couldn’t help but smile faintly, his mind drifting to something.

During his blacksmith assessment, he refined the Lightning Slap. Due to some modifications, he had managed to elevate the grandmaster third-rank Lightning Slap to the grandmaster fourth-rank. Now thinking about it, during that time, the reaction from Grandmaster Mo De, Grandmaster Gaunt, and Grandmaster Boke was quite remarkable.

“I never expected my blacksmith level to be the highest,” Wang Teng shook his head with a wry smile.

“Wang Teng, wearing these three badges out like this seems a bit ostentatious, don’t you think?” Round Ball floated nearby, eyeing the three badges on Wang Teng’s chest, stroking its chin teasingly.

“What’s so ostentatious about it? My true strength is far beyond these badges,” Wang Teng replied nonchalantly.

“True, the highest rank displayed on these three badges is only grandmaster fourth-rank, still far from your true strength,” Round Ball remarked.

“Let’s go!” Wang Teng didn’t say much more, heading outside.

Round Ball immediately vanished on the spot.

Outside the door, Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others looked at Wang Teng as he stepped out, smiling.

“Indeed, clothes do make the man. Grandmaster Wang Teng has been wearing battle attire all along, making us feel a bit uncomfortable. Now he truly looks like one of us, hahaha…” Grandmaster Alfred burst into laughter.

“Wasn’t I like this before?” Wang Teng chuckled.

“Of course, not as much as now.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan also smiled.

“Grandmaster Wang Teng, changing into this outfit, you’re like a different person. I almost didn’t recognize you,” Grandmaster Susanna’s eyes flashed with admiration as she exclaimed.

“Is it that dramatic?” Wang Teng looked down at himself, somewhat surprised.. Was the change really that significant just by changing clothes?
