Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

After Wang Teng received this news, he was about to set off for the Ancient Divine Hall.

At this time, Qian Xunji blocked the way again, speaking hesitantly.

"Master, you are going to the Ancient Divine Hall this time. The journey will be arduous, and having no one to attend to you is inconvenient. How about I let Xue'er accompany you to take care of your daily needs?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng was slightly taken aback.

Qian Lingxue, on the other hand, was beaming with joy, her face flushed red.

She seemed very happy with her grandfather's arrangement.

But Wang Teng glanced at her and shook his head inwardly.

This little girl is just about fifteen or sixteen years old, obviously still a fledgling. Taking her on the journey might be inconvenient.

Qian Xunji seemed to have read Wang Teng's thoughts and smiled while stroking his beard.

"Master, my Xue'er might have been ordinary before, but she is different now. In this talent awakening, she awakened a C-level Angel Bloodline Talent and an A-level Time Talent - Angel Pendulum!"

"Hmm?!"

Wang Teng looked at Qian Lingxue in surprise.

Bloodline talents are extremely rare.

Generally, awakening to C-level is already considered powerful.

Wang Teng's bloodline talent was merely at D-level, not reaching C-level.

This girl actually reached C-level.

More astonishingly, she awakened an A-level talent, one of the supreme laws - the Time Talent.

This is truly remarkable!

From this, it's evident that this girl has immense potential. With proper nurturing, she will surely become his right-hand in the future.

Wang Teng instantly became interested.

He needs to establish his own power, naturally requiring some prodigious subordinates to conquer the world for him.

"Xue'er, what abilities does your Angel Pendulum possess?"

Wang Teng curiously inquired.

Qian Lingxue's face turned slightly red, and she replied in a timid voice, "Master, Xue'er has just awakened the talent and hasn't yet explored what abilities it has."

Wang Teng couldn't help but feel amused, nodding slightly.

Qian Xunji could see that the master had some appreciation for his granddaughter.

He felt immensely gratified at once.

He then stroked his beard and smiled, "Master, this girl Xue'er has decent talent and potential. Having her follow you will certainly aid her growth, and you do need a maid by your side. Just regard this girl as a maid to use."

Qian Xunji had more thoughts that he couldn't express face-to-face.

This granddaughter of his, so young, already possessed enchanting beauty. And Wang Teng, being a vigorous young man, would naturally find some things falling into place.

In his opinion, letting Qian Lingxue serve Wang Teng was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

After all, the Qian Race has acknowledged Wang Teng as their master, entrusting the life and death of the whole clan to him.

If Qian Lingxue is fortunate enough to be favored, she will surely take good care of the Qian Race in the future. For them, this is absolutely beneficial.

Wang Teng naturally caught the implication behind Qian Xunji's words. This old man's mind is always full of schemes.

But he wasn't thinking too much about it.

Though Qian Lingxue was indeed exceedingly beautiful, her figure had yet to mature.

Had Wang Teng been a lust-driven man, the likes of Liu Erlong or Yi Qingchen in the Celestial Court, with their top-tier beauty and figure, would have already been exhausted by him.

However, Qian Lingxue's talent potential is indeed extraordinary.

In the entire First Major Region, among millions, aside from Liu Erlong, no one has more potential than her.

Liu Erlong is a self-reliant and strong woman whose sole belief is to become stronger.

This allows Wang Teng no worries.

While this girl's gentle nature needs cultivation.

With this in mind, Wang Teng slowly said, "Alright, Xue'er, take this time to study your Time Talent carefully, see what abilities you have. When I return from the Ancient Divine Hall, I'll make other arrangements for you, how about it?"

"Mm~!"

Qian Lingxue bashfully nodded her head.

Her heart was filled with immense joy.

She wasn't disheartened that Wang Teng didn't take her along because she could feel that the master appreciated her.

Perhaps when he returns, he will make her his personal attendant and have her by his side.

Qian Xunji wasn't in a rush for immediate success and was quite satisfied with this outcome, smiling as he stroked his beard.

At that moment, Wang Teng no longer lingered, and after bidding farewell to everyone, he hurriedly left...

Leaving the Sunset Forest, Wang Teng continued his journey towards the Ancient Divine Hall.

Before long, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qian Lingxue silently stood at the village entrance, gazing in the direction of Wang Teng's departure, feeling a touch of melancholy for no apparent reason.

...

Meanwhile, on another side, Wang Teng shuttled through the forest, hurrying on his way.

Right now, he only wanted to reach the Ancient Divine Hall as soon as possible.

Estimating the distance, he figured it would take about another half hour to reach Heaven-Reaching Lake.

The Ancient Divine Hall was beside Heaven-Reaching Lake.

He was drawing near quickly.

At this moment, a familiar mechanical voice provided a notification.

[Tip: Celestial Court member Wang Zijian's Combat Power has reached 2000 points, and you've gained 10 Free Attribute Value!]

Not bad!

Another reward!

Wang Teng felt particularly gratified.

All the members were constantly progressing, and the benefits he received were gradually increasing as well.

Currently, he has accumulated 3240 Free Attribute Points.

Right, with so many Free Attribute Points, it's time to allocate them to enhance his strength.

The stronger he is, the faster his journey will be.

Previously, in the Angel Tribe, he was unwilling to allocate points before everyone.

Now, with no one around, it's a perfect time to make some changes.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng opened the Attribute Light Interface and started adding points.

With each point added, his momentum continuously surged!

In no time, all 3240 attribute points were allocated, and his combat power instantly reached 14667 points.

Wang Teng was thrilled.

Level 16!

Comprehensive Combat Power of 14667 points!

This was already an immensely powerful existence!

If his numerous talent abilities were included, his combat power might directly double!

Speaking of which, among his many talents, all except the Bloodline Talent were above D-level, with three talents at A-level.

In this way, the combination of numerous talent abilities was comparable to an SS-level talent, making his comprehensive strength far exceed the combat power evaluation.

However, even so, with his current strength, it's still unlikely to achieve Top-grade Foundation Establishment during the Martial God Trial.

It seems he must find ways to enhance his comprehensive combat power as much as possible.

Otherwise, he won't even be able to obtain Top-grade Foundation Establishment.

Without Top-grade Foundation Establishment, it would be difficult to achieve victory in the War of Ten Thousand Realms.

Considering the Dou Shen Continent, which didn't even have a Top-grade Foundation Establishment strongman, they eventually failed in the War of Ten Thousand Realms.

Perhaps, having a Top-grade Foundation Establishment strongman could provide a slight opportunity in the War of Ten Thousand Realms!

Wang Teng continued on his journey, lost in thought.

He pondered about ways to quickly enhance his combat power.

Currently, upgrading the Celestial Court seems to be one of the quickest ways.

At the same time, achieving the top three in the World Upgrading Competition would offer extremely generous rewards.

This thought had just arisen when a familiar mechanical voice brought new messages.

[Tip: The number of Level 2 Homes in the Celestial Court World has reached 100!]

[Tip: The Celestial Court World has met all standards for world upgrade, and now the World Matrix construction permission can be activated!]

[Tip: Upon successful World Matrix construction, the Celestial Court World can be upgraded to Level 2!]

"Hmm~!"

Wang Teng's eyes revealed delight.

Haha~!

All conditions have been fulfilled!

The Celestial Court is about to upgrade to a Level 2 World, with victory in sight!

Immediately, he opened the Realm Master operations platform to check the conditions for constructing the World Matrix.

At the same time, cheers erupted from every corner of the Celestial Court.

They also heard the mechanical voice's prompt.

Even in the Angel Tribe, cheers resounded continuously.

Because even the Qian Race knew the significance of the world's upgrade.

Unknowingly, their interests had already become closely tied with the Celestial Court.

At this moment, the Celestial Court chat channel rang with joyful noises, with everyone discussing excitedly.

"Haha~! We've reached it! All upgrade conditions have been met!"

"Yes~! So exciting! Now, we only need to construct the World Matrix, and once it's built, we can upgrade the Celestial Court World again!"

"Everyone, when we created the Celestial Court World, we each received rewards. If we upgrade the Celestial Court World, how many rewards will we get?"

"Yes~! Previously, the difficulty for our Celestial Court's upgrade doubled, so the rewards were also doubled!"

"Haha~! I'm so excited!"

"Everyone, calm down! Next, let's wait for Boss Wang Teng to announce the World Matrix construction!"

"Yes~! What materials are needed for constructing the World Matrix?"

"No idea, let's wait for Boss Wang Teng's announcement."

"When will Boss Wang Teng announce it? I can't wait any longer!"

"Wuwu~! Little sis is also getting impatient! Brother Wang Teng, why aren't you out yet?"

"Everyone, stop urging. The boss must be busy!"

Just as these words were said, many messages popped up in the Celestial Court chat channel.

[Celestial Court Announcement: The conditions for World Matrix construction are as follows:]

[100 units of Stone (Basic Resource)]

[100 units of Wood (Basic Resource)]

[20 units of Iron Ore (Basic Resource)]

[One Orange Legendary Weapon]

[Ten Purple Epic Weapons]

As soon as the announcement was made, everyone saw the information and began discussing it.

"So these are the resources needed! We have ample stone and iron ore, but we're still short on wood."

"Yes~! There's no wood in the Gui Cang Divine Pavilion, and as soon as wood appears, everyone redeems it."

"Currently, it seems our Celestial Court's demand for wood has not been fully addressed, so everyone, keep working hard!"

"For those in front, getting wood is still manageable, but how do we go about getting the Orange Legendary Weapon and Purple Epic Weapons?"

As soon as this was said, Wang Teng's voice echoed in all the members' ears.

Wang Teng: "Everyone, regarding the materials for constructing the World Matrix, I have published it as a top announcement at the top of the chat channel; everyone can check it anytime."

Wang Teng: "From the current situation, the most scarce thing is wood among the basic resources. Starting immediately, everyone should stop redeeming the wood donated to the Gui Cang Divine Pavilion. Once the World Matrix is constructed, everybody can redeem again."

Wang Teng: "Currently, our Celestial Court's primary objective is the World Matrix. Additionally, members of the Angel Tribe and Celestial Court Headquarters, if conditions allow, go to cut down trees and speed up the collection of wood."

Wang Teng: "As for the weapons, I will donate a batch of weapons. You all just focus on collecting wood. That's the arrangement. Let's all work together!"

Once this was arranged, Wang Teng exited the permissions channel.

After receiving the order, everyone immediately took action.

In the Angel Tribe, Qian Xunji mobilized the entire tribe.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone went to cut down trees.

And around their settlement, there were plenty of tree resources.

With the Angel Tribe joining in, the speed of collecting tree resources increased exponentially...
