Complete Martial Arts Attributes - Chapter 3233

Chapter 3169 Nowhere to Reward! Twisted Jealousy! How to bestow a title?

After the Great Qian Empire’s ruler finished speaking, the hall fell silent for a moment.

The Parax family cowered, not daring to utter a single word, fearing they would become the target of everyone’s wrath.

This wasn’t impossible.

Given Wang Teng’s current status, he had even attracted the attention of the ruler.

If even the ruler completely sided with Wang Teng, the Parax family would most likely face purging.

As for the other families, it would be strange if they didn’t take advantage of their misfortune.

The more Waltergu thought about it, the more his heart sank to the bottom.

Unease!

Anxiety!

And a twisted resentment!

He felt that all of this was caused by Wang Teng.

If it weren’t for him, the Parax family would still be high and mighty, never needing to live in such fear.

A mere Domain Lord-level martial artist, what right did he have to shake the Parax family?

The weak should know their place; daring to provoke the Parax family was simply courting death.

“If only I had killed him sooner back then, things wouldn’t be like this today.”

This thought flashed through Waltergu’s mind, then spread like wildfire, unstoppable.

“Your Majesty, given Wang Teng’s current achievements, shouldn’t his title be elevated?”

At this moment, King Chongshan suddenly asked.

“What title does he hold now?” the ruler of the Great Qian Empire inquired.

“When he entered the Starry Sky Academy, Wang Teng was already a count!”

King Chongshan said, then added, “Actually, based on his ranking, he should have been given the title of marquis, but…”

“He’s too young, so he was ultimately given the title of count!”

“Young?!” the ruler of the Great Qian Empire laughed, “He is indeed young.” “

Only in his twenties, and he’s already reached this level; my Great Qian Empire will eventually have no more titles to bestow.”

Silence!

The hall fell into a deathly silence!

No more titles to bestow!

These words, spoken by the ruler of the Great Qian Empire, carried immense weight.

Waltergu was suddenly overjoyed.

Was the ruler wary of Wang Teng?

Fear of his rapid growth?!

Yes!

How could the Great Qian Empire tolerate a prodigy who might threaten its rule?

Such a prodigy should be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.

“Hahaha…”

He couldn’t help but laugh inwardly: “Wang Teng, what does it matter how high your talent and status are if the Emperor can’t tolerate you?”

“The Great Qian Empire has no place for you!”

In Waltergu’s eyes, this was truly a dramatic turn of events; he never expected the Emperor wouldn’t tolerate Wang Teng.

“Your Majesty!”

King Chongshan was also greatly shocked, thinking that the king couldn’t tolerate Wang Teng. He hurriedly said,

“With Wang Teng’s talent, his world doesn’t belong to our Great Qian Empire. Even if he can’t be enfeoffed in the future, it won’t affect anything.”

“On the contrary, Wang Teng’s strength will only bring benefits to our Great Qian Empire.”

“His existence is enough to deter a region.”

Upon hearing this, Waltergu couldn’t sit still any longer. He didn’t care about offending King Chongshan and immediately said, “That’s wrong.” “

With Wang Teng’s current influence, he will only become more terrifying in the future.”

“If he wants to attack our Great Qian Empire and steal the imperial power, wouldn’t that be an even greater threat?”

King Chongshan frowned and coldly looked at Waltergu. A domain lord-level martial artist dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.

If the other party wasn’t the head of the Parax family, he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to stand here.

He was very clear about the grudge between the Parax family and Wang Teng.

Now the other party was in a hurry to refute him, simply because he was worried that Wang Teng would become too powerful and threaten the Parax family.

Walter’s heart skipped a beat, and under the gaze of the Mountain King, he almost lost his footing.

The other party was an Immortal-level being; elsewhere, he wouldn’t have dared to refute their words.

At this moment, he could only lower his head and remain silent.

“Your Majesty!”

A figure suddenly stepped out from among the people on either side, bowing to the Great Qian Empire’s ruler at the head of the table.

“Wang Teng’s sense of belonging to our Great Qian Empire is strong; he rose from within our Great Qian Empire from the very beginning.”

“In the eyes of outsiders, he is the pride of our Great Qian Empire, and that cannot be changed.”

“Furthermore, we invested in him very early on, whether it was the initial baronial title or the later earldom…”

“All of this is sufficient to demonstrate Your Majesty’s grace and benevolence!”

“Now, if it’s because of…”

He paused here, not finishing his sentence.

But the meaning was extremely clear.

The Great Qian Empire had already invested heavily in Wang Teng; if they were to be wary now, they would lose their initial investment.

Rather than that, it was better to go with the flow and continue to increase investment.

“Boragu! I know your Kalandish family is on good terms with Wang Teng, but there’s no need to speak so favorably of him.”

Waltergu’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “It’s always best to be realistic.”

“Wang Teng’s status is already enough to pose a threat to the Great Qian Empire. Can’t you see that?”

Boragu was Diqi’s father, also the head of the Kalandish family, with a status equivalent to Waltergu’s.

That’s why he was here.

At this moment, facing Waltergu’s words, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn’t even glance at the other man.

In his view, Waltergu’s statement was completely untenable.

The other man was completely blinded by hatred.

The Great Qian Empire would not refuse to accept a genius martial artist just because they were wary of him.

The ruler of the country is a true god-level existence and should be very clear about Wang Teng’s weight and role.

If handled properly, Wang Teng would be the Great Qian Empire’s greatest asset.

He was only standing up now to show the Kalandish family’s attitude and to give the ruler a way out.

Did Waltergu think that the king’s statement “there is no more to bestow” meant he was rejecting Wang Teng?

Wrong!

Utterly wrong!

There might be some apprehension and concerns, but it would never mean he would reject Wang Teng.

“Heh~”

Thinking of this, Boragu sneered and slowly said,

“My Kalandish family is indeed on good terms with Wang Teng. There’s no need to hide it; everyone knows it.”

“We’ve acted uprightly and aren’t afraid of what others say.”

“It’s your Lax family that’s at odds with Wang Teng, harboring prejudice and trying your best to push him away.”

“Your actions completely disregard the interests of the Great Qian Empire!”

By the end, his words had turned into a roar, a direct question to Waltergu.

Everyone present changed their expressions slightly, not expecting the head of the Kalandish family to be so firm.

He was determined to cheer for Wang Teng!

However, what he said made sense; Waltergu’s actions were indeed harming the interests of the Great Qian Empire.

Pushing Wang Teng away would bring no benefit, only harm.

If other forces knew they had done such a foolish thing, they would surely laugh at the Great Qian Empire for its short-sightedness.

Waltergu was truly blinded by hatred, utterly ridiculous.

“My Ji clan agrees with the Kalandish family’s statement.”

At this moment, another figure stepped forward, bowing to the Great Qian Empire’s ruler at the head of the table.

“The Ji royal family seconds!”

“The Jiang royal family seconds!”

“The Xiahou royal family seconds!”

“The Rodriguez royal family seconds!”

“The Peres royal family seconds!”

Before Waltergu could even speak, voices of agreement rang out from all around, choking him in his throat.

Waltergu’s face instantly stiffened, a lump forming in his throat, almost causing him to vomit blood.

His pupils contracted to their limit as he looked around, as if betrayed by everyone.

His lips trembled, unable to utter a single word.

His face was ashen.

“Look how anxious you all are!”

The Great Qian Empire’s ruler smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned about this farce, his majestic and indifferent gaze sweeping downwards.

Everyone felt the ruler’s gaze, but no one knew what he was thinking.

“Since everyone thinks highly of Wang Teng, let’s discuss what reward we should bestow upon him.”

“Oh, by the way, he’s now a second-rank Star Envoy of the Hall of Stars.”

The king suddenly dropped a bombshell, stunning everyone and leaving them speechless.

The conferment of the second-rank Star Envoy title hadn’t been fully publicized; only the higher-ups knew.

Therefore, none of those present knew this news except for the king of the Great Qian Empire.

Hearing this suddenly, the shock was indescribable!

Although they had long guessed that Wang Teng’s achievements would elevate his status considerably,

they hadn’t expected him to become a second-rank Star Envoy of the Hall of Stars.

That was the Hall of Stars!

Those present were, after all, members of the Great Qian Empire’s royal family, holding extraordinary positions and possessing far more information than ordinary people.

Therefore, they were all familiar with the Hall of Stars.

Hearing that Wang Teng had become a second-rank Star Envoy, everyone was stunned into silence.

Star Envoy!

A status above ordinary honor badges!

Even their family’s patriarchs rarely possessed ordinary honor badges, yet Wang Teng possessed a Star Envoy honor badge.

It was simply unbelievable!

“Your Majesty, has Wang Teng truly acquired a two-star Star Envoy honor badge from the Hall of Stars?!”

Boragu of the Kalandish family swallowed hard, asking in astonishment.

Even though he held Wang Teng in high regard and was on good terms with him, he still found this two-star Star Envoy honor badge somewhat unacceptable.

It was just like the saying:

“I fear my brother’s hardship, yet I also fear his driving a Land Rover.

” “This news came from the Hall of Stars and has already been publicly announced there.”

The Great Qian Empire’s ruler’s voice seemed unchanged, but a complex emotion could be detected in his tone.

Even He found it hard to believe that a Domain Lord-level warrior possessed a two-star Star Envoy honor badge.

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that He was inferior to Wang Teng.

It was truly laughable; a True God-level being, the ruler of a nation, was inferior to a mere Domain Lord-level warrior like Wang Teng.

But that was the truth.

Not to mention He, the ruler of the Great Qian Empire.

Even those True God-level beings with greater strength and stronger backgrounds than Him might not be able to compare to Wang Teng. While

the ruler of an empire is certainly remarkable, there are many empire rulers in this vast universe.

He might not even be among them.

Those giant powers… they are the true rulers!

The True God-level beings among them are the real powerhouses; any one of them would be enough to make Him wary.

This is why He values Wang Teng so much.

If he can grow to that level, his future strength and status will inevitably surpass that of an empire ruler.

There’s no limit to his potential.

Although there’s a slight sense of apprehension, He certainly won’t shut Wang Teng out.

That would be the most foolish thing to do.

Upon hearing the words of the Great Qian Empire’s ruler, everyone present fell silent again.

Their expressions were incredibly complex.

They didn’t know how to describe their feelings.

Seeing the first place in merit was already shocking enough; now they realized it was just the beginning.

Compared to the second-ranked Star Envoy of this Hall of Stars, he was simply a small fry.

Walter’s face was ashen.

A prodigy possessing the Glory Badge of a Two-Star Envoy from the Hall of Stars—how could this be?

What kind of enemy had their Parax family found for themselves?

He almost groaned inwardly, a pain so intense it felt like a heart attack. It felt

as if an arrow had pierced his heart!

After a moment,

the other members of the royal family present finally reacted, a hint of joy appearing in their eyes.

Wang Teng obtaining the Glory Badge of a Two-Star Envoy from the Hall of Stars was undoubtedly a good thing.

For families like theirs that had no enmity with Wang Teng, as long as they maintained a good relationship with him, they might receive considerable benefits in the future.

There are no eternal enemies in this world, except, of course, families like the Parax family that have offended people to death.

Among these royal families, at most, some juniors had conflicts with Wang Teng, but it wasn’t a big deal.

After all, Wang Teng came from their Great Qian Empire; they had a certain geographical advantage, unlike outsiders who could hardly even get close to him.

They were already determined to befriend Wang Teng at all costs.

“Your Majesty!”

Bolagu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and declared loudly, “I believe Wang Teng should be granted the title of Duke!”

“And presented with an Immortal-level treasure!”

“Only in this way can Your Majesty’s appreciation and favor be shown to him!”

The members of the major royal families present showed no surprise upon hearing this.

They all felt that the reward proposed by Boragu was reasonable.

Indeed, it was reasonable!

Wang Teng already held the title of Earl, and now he had become a Second-Star Envoy of the Hall of Stars. Elevating his title directly to Duke was perfectly appropriate.

For many martial artists, the gap between Earl and Duke might seem insurmountable.

Even the path from Baron to Earl was incredibly difficult.

But for a prodigy like Wang Teng, it was nothing.

He had already obtained the Second-Star Envoy badge of the Hall of Stars; the title of Duke in the Great Qian Empire was insignificant.

Compared to the Duke, it was like a firefly compared to the moon.

Ultimately, it was merely icing on the cake.

As for the so-called Immortal-level treasure, it was just an add-on, simply a way to increase the stakes since the Duke title wasn’t enough. (End of Chapter)
