Chapter 2575: Holy Land! Gabriel! Pingtian Grand Duke! (4)

“You’re too kind. I’ve just been a bit luckier than most,” Wang Teng replied modestly.

“It’s rare to see someone grow so quickly, even among the Seven Stellar Academies,” Lailas, the eternal-stage figure from the Carandis House, remarked. He didn’t put on any airs and spoke with a gentle smile.

These eternal-stage figures weren’t as friendly towards Wang Teng as the universe-stage ones, but their attitude was already quite respectful.

Wang Teng humbly responded, then turned to Dubois and asked, “Did Dubois and the others not come?”

“Their strength is too weak so they don’t qualify to attend this exchange,” Dubois explained.

Wang Teng nodded, remembering that there were indeed qualifications for this exchange. If he wasn’t a grandmaster, he probably wouldn’t have been able to enter with just his cosmos-stage strength.

“Wang Teng, representing our Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance at this exchange, you must strive to uphold our reputation,” an eternal-stage martial warrior from the Jiang family said.

They knew that Wang Teng was representing the Secondary Career Alliance of the Great Qian Empire.

While these members of the grand duke families were familiar with Wang Teng’s martial talent, they knew little about his secondary profession talents. The Secondary Career Alliance kept a tight lid on information, and Wang Teng hadn’t updated his profile for a long time. Even if they were well-informed, they couldn’t know much.

“I’ll do my best,” Wang Teng replied with a smile, making no promises.

“Hmph!” At this moment, a cold snort sounded, and the Furious Flaming Universe Lord from the Parkers family finally couldn’t help but approach. He sneered, “You’re placing your hopes on him. How naive. Just because his martial talent is decent, do you think his secondary profession talents are equally good?”

The atmosphere among the crowd changed subtly as the Parkers family finally stepped forward.

They were familiar with the grudge between Wang Teng and the Parkers family. They were surprised by Wang Teng’s ability as even a grand duke family couldn’t do anything to him.

Now that the Parkers Family came to create trouble, they wanted to see if Wang Teng could handle it.

How much had he grown in the Seven Stellar Academies?

Wang Teng looked at the Furious Flaming Universe Lord, then his gaze paused on the young man standing behind him, feeling somewhat surprised.

This person was an alchemist, with an alchemy badge on his chest, bearing seven stars, indicating that he was a grandmaster seventh-rank alchemist. The Parkers family brought an alchemist!

This was out of Wang Teng’s expectations.

Judging from his appearance, he was obviously from the Parkers family. An alchemist nurtured by a martial arts family was indeed interesting.

Actually, in a large family like the Parkers family, there might be talented individuals with alchemy talents emerging.

Especially since they possessed the fire-element talent. If there was a trace of wood element attribute in the other party’s bloodline during the marriage, it was more likely that they would give birth to a talent with the alchemy talent.

“Gabriel!” Grandmaster Susanna suddenly exclaimed.

“What? You know him?” Wang Teng asked through voice transmission.

“This person is a genius alchemist from the Parkers family. I’ve seen him before. He has a great reputation and is hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius alchemist in the Great Qian Empire. Many grandmasters have high hopes for him and want to keep him in the Secondary Career Alliance for cultivation. But he’s very ambitious. Later, it was said that he went on a journey and never contacted our Great Qisn Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance again. We haven’t seen him since then, and people almost forgot about him. Hence, we don’t know how far he has reached in alchemy,” Susanna took a deep breath and explained.

“There’s such a person?” Wang Teng was surprised.

“Grandmaster Susanna is right. Since he left, he hasn’t contacted our Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance again. We haven’t seen him since then, and we almost forgot about him. Thus, we don’t know the extent of his alchemy attainments,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan spoke through voice transmission, showing a trace of complexity on his face. “I didn’t expect the Parkers family to call him back this time.”

This person was also considered a member of the Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance, but his identity was too sensitive so they couldn’t approach him too closely.

Moreover, the other party didn’t think much of the Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left the Great Qian Empire early for an expedition.

“Is this… Gabriel!?” A universe-stage martial warrior from the Xiahou family looked at the Parkers family alchemist and suddenly asked.

“That’s right!” The Furious Flaming Universe Lord nodded, a trace of pride appearing on his face as he said, “Gabriel has already reached grandmaster seventh rank. Moreover, after traveling these years, his foundation in alchemy has accumulated to a terrifying extent. This time, he represents our Great Qian Empire in the exchange summit.”

“With his talent, I believe he is capable of bringing glory to our Great Qian Empire.”

“As for this kid, I don’t think you should have too much hope for him.”

Glancing at Wang Teng, a hint of disdain flashed across his face.

The others just smiled and ignored his words. The Parkers family and Wang Teng were at odds so they would certainly seize the opportunity to discredit Wang Teng.

However, it was truly surprising that Gabriel’s proficiency in alchemy had reached grandmaster seventh rank!

The lords from the various grand duke families present couldn’t help but take a closer look at him, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

This person was indeed an unexpected factor.

Perhaps he could truly become a dark horse for the Great Qian Empire’s Secondary Career Alliance!
