"That''s right. Let''s do it one by one. Slow and steady."


    "Wang Teng: Don''t be afraid. Let''s have a gang fight!"


    "Haha, you''re quite the cheeky one. Aren''t you afraid that Wang Teng wille after you?"


    "I didn''t say anything. None of you heard it."


    …


    The audience was dumbstruck after Wang Teng requested to fight seventeen candidates at once. The virtual universe was filled with noise and discussions.


    The hero''s words were like a bomb, detonating and causing waves of astonishment in everyone''s hearts.


    Many of his supporters wanted him to y it safe, to not tempt fate. Their concern was apparent.


    Unfortunately, their favorite warrior couldn''t hear them.


    Even if he did, it wouldn''t change his decision.


    The Second Prince, Ji Haochen, and the others finally regained their senses. The idea made them feel humiliated.


    Everyone stared at the earthling with conflicting emotions. This fellow is not treating us as equals.


    Strachey, Gaunt, and the others were burning with rage, wishing they could beat the guy, since he dared to look down on them. They wanted to let him know how strong they really were.


    Leng Qianxue looked at him while her emotions were in knots. However, there was a hint ofpetitiveness in her eyes.


    Su Jianchen clutched his sword tightly. His gaze became sharp as it was aimed at the young hero like virtual swords.


    Too many gazesnded on Wang Teng, so he couldn''t be bothered to check who it was.


    The carrot-like weapon appeared in Tu Xiaoba''s hand again. She gritted her teeth angrily, as if ready to use it and knock thetter''s head. How dare he look down on me. This is infuriating.


    A strange glimmer shed past Yue Qiqiao''s eyes. She sized up the bold contender; she was familiar with him, since he was the most outstanding talent in the present League of Talents. He had been in the spotlight since the elimination round, so she kept tabs on all his matches.


    She respected the young hero greatly.


    However, all said respect was lost; she felt that Wang Teng was a little… irritating.


    It wasn''t a matter of who was the strongest; his words were infuriating. How could he say that he wants to fight us all at once? Is he in his right mind?


    The Crown Prince looked at his main rival with an ambiguous gaze.


    On the Yuming—Wu Xingyun and Old Han exchanged weird looks.


    "He''s fooling around," Commander Hong couldn''t help but say.


    "Unpredictable as usual." Wu Xingyun felt his head hurting. "Anything cane out of his mouth."


    Old Han asked, "Is he that confident?"


    "Who knows?" Themander shook his head with concern. That wasn''t a joke; fighting all those candidates at once was a little reckless.


    "This fellow…" Lin Chuhan shook her head andined a little. She red at the young hero through the screen.


    Her shy appearance stunned Isah, who was right beside her.


    Unfortunately, he only dared to keep quiet and gulp saliva, as he had been scolded by her a few times.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    He was filled with bitterness and frustration…


    On the military battle fortress—General Fu Xinn frowned, sensing that the youngster was being reckless.


    Fight seventeen opponents at once?


    Is this something a human can do? What possessed him to think about this?


    General Habakkuk burst outughing. "Hahaha, this young man is like me in my younger days."


    "You?" Fu Xinn nced at him and rolled his eyes. "You can only fight three."


    Habakkuk fumed. "Don''t look down on me. I can fight against four."


    The former was also angry. "I''m not going to argue with you, we should worry about him first. He was finally noticed by the invigtors. It would be a waste if their impression of him is lost because of this matter."


    "What can we do? He already said it; there''s no way he can take his words back." General Habakkuk wasn''t worried. "I feel he might surprise us all by beating the seventeen warriors. Even if he can only beat seven or eight, it would still count as a great sess. The Seven Ster Academies will see his strength."


    Fu Xinn stared at thetter in surprise and nodded. "You''re right. I was too agitated."


    "You''re just too concerned for him," said the other with a smile.


    …


    On the imperial family''s spacecraft—Grand Duke Chongshan was also surprised by the young official''s question. Heughed. "This fellow is quite bold."


    The universe stage elder next to him snorted and said, "He''s overestimating himself!" The man couldn''t stand the boy''s actions. "Not even the Crown Prince would dare to do this. Isn''t he afraid of making a fool of himself?"


    "At least he dared to propose the idea." The Grand Duke smiled; he admired the young hero.


    "Aren''t you a little biased towards him?" said the elder.


    The noble was stunned by the question. Then, he smiled and shook his head in silence.


    …


    On the Parkers family''s spacecraft—the Furious ming Universe Lord burst outughing. "This fellow is seeking death. How dare he raise such a request!"


    "If this happens, Strachey and Landon will have a higher chance of getting rid of him," Valteru said excitedly.


    Thetter no longer believed that Strachey and Landon were enough to kill him, based on the previous performances. Who would have thought? Wang Teng just set a trap for himself? Even heaven is helping us.


    In the sky above the arena—


    The young earthling hovered calmly in the sky amid everyone''s gazes,pletely unfazed.


    "Why do you want it like this?" said the light sphere''s voice after some time.


    "It saves time!" Wang Teng replied without thinking.


    Everyone: …


    What the hell?


    You want to fight seventeen martial warriors in one go to save time? What on earth are you thinking?
