1673 Do You Like Peaches?

At the edge of the Sword Storm Plain.

“Why were there so many people?”

Wang Teng saw the crowd beside Yue Qiqiao after he walked out of the rain. He was stunned.

“Everyone is waiting for you.” Yue Qiqiao sized up Wang Teng curiously. She wanted to see if Wang Teng was a human. If not, how could he be so talented?

“Your gaze is weird.” Wang Teng was puzzled.

“Your Sword Storm ranking is out,” Yue Qiqiao said seriously.

“Huh?” Wang Teng was surprised. Judging by their expressions, his ranking was not low. He couldn’t be bothered to check and asked directly, “What position am I in?”

“Wang Teng, you’re ranked 99999th on the Sword and Storm Ranking. The academy even rewarded you with 30,000 points. It’s already announced.”

Before Yue Qiqiao could reply, Round Ball’s voice appeared in his mind.

“An announcement?” Wang Teng was stunned. He felt a slight vibration from his smartwatch just now but he had Round Ball and it didn’t alert him so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“99,999! You broke the record!” Yue Qiqiao exclaimed.

“99,999? That’s not high at all. How did I break a record?” Wang Teng was taken aback once again, and his surprise became even more evident on his face. “Moreover, they’re rewarding me with 30,000 points. How did this happen?”

Everyone: …

Yue Qiqiao: …

How is 99,999 not high?

How high do you want to be?

Why do I feel that he’s boasting again?

“In the past, the highest ranking for freshmen was 100,000!” Miao Tao explained.

“100,000? That’s only a difference of one place. It’s nothing,” Wang Teng responded.

“No, you don’t understand,” Miao Tao shook his head. “The difference between being ranked 100,000th and 99,999th is vast. If you can’t enter the top 99,999, you can’t.”Miao Tao shook her head.

Wang Teng nodded in deep thought. He turned to Yue Qiqiao and asked, “What’s your rank?”

“127,600! I’m far behind you,” Yue Qiqiao said.

“Junior Sister Yue, your ranking isn’t low either. You have surpassed 80% of the freshmen,” a young man said.

Wang Teng glanced at the person who spoke and then looked at Yue Qiqiao. He understood something and a hint of amusement curved up at the corners of his mouth.

Yue Qiqiao saw Wang Teng’s expression and knew that he was thinking about something strange. She rolled her eyes uncontrollably.

“Even this senior said that you can surpass 80% of the freshmen. It looks like your swordsmanship is not bad,” Wang Teng praised.

“It doesn’t sound right to me,” Yue Qiqiao said.

“You’re judging me unfairly,” Wang Teng replied.

Yue Qiqiao was speechless.

“I’m quite envious that the academy rewarded you with 30,000 points,” Miao Tao said. “When we first arrived at the academy, we had to complete numerous tasks just to earn a few points. It’s still fresh in my memories.”

“Indeed, it’s not easy to earn points in the academy, which is why many people try to improve their rankings on various leaderboards. Unfortunately, only a small number of them manage to break records,” the young man said with a sigh, seemingly reminded of his own painful experiences from the past.

For a moment, everyone looked at Wang Teng with jealousy.

Yue Qiqiao was no exception. She knew that Wang Teng had previously been rewarded with 30,000 points, and now he received another 30,000, totaling 60,000 points. This amount was already several times more than what most new students had.

This was the best interpretation of winning at the starting line.

“I was just lucky. I didn’t expect to break the record,” Wang Teng shook his head and replied calmly.

This was the truth. The Five-element Sword Domain was just a domain that had evolved from the Golden Lightning Sword Domain. He had also created the five-element fist before so he was familiar with the merging of Forces. In the end, it’s just a matter of course, nothing extraordinary.

The record was broken accidentally.

He couldn’t believe it himself.

Wasn’t the Sword Storm Ranking a little too easy to break?

Fortunately, he didn’t say it out loud. If not, Miao Tao and the others might think he’s boasting.

For now, they thought that Wang Teng was being humble so they didn’t say anything.

“How do I address you?” Wang Teng looked at the female martial artist who had previously warned him and realized that he didn’t know her name yet.

“Miao Tao!” Miao Tao smiled and replied.

“Good name,” Wang Teng praised.

“What’s good about it?” Miao Tao asked.

“Erm… peaches are delicious!” Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and said.

Miao Tao: …

Yue Qiqiao: …

Everyone: …

To hell with being delicious.

Was he teasing her?

This guy had some nerve. He dared to flirt with his senior sister.

What’s more, he did it in front of so many people.

All male martial artists cast an admiring glance at Wang Teng. Miao Tao was not an ordinary female martial artist. When she got angry, even they were afraid of her.

What would happen to Wang Teng after he teased her personally?

They were waiting for Miao Tao to flare up in anger!

But, what happened next stunned them.

“Do you like to eat peaches?” Miao Tao asked provokingly.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that Miao Tao just said that.

Wang Teng: …

How should he reply?

It felt a little dangerous!

Especially when he saw the other party’s provocative gaze, he felt that he was playing with fire.

Yue Qiqiao smiled as she watched this scene.

“Cough, I’m leaving. See you again!” Wang Teng noticed that the atmosphere wasn’t right so he immediately took out his spacecraft and flew inside in a hurry.

“Seniors, I’m leaving too.” Yue Qiqiao nodded at Miao Tao and hurriedly followed Wang Teng.

Everyone looked at the spacecraft as it flew away. Then, they glanced at Miao Tao strangely.

“What are you looking at?” Miao Tao glared at them and asked angrily.

“Miao Tao, I didn’t expect you to go after younger guys. You didn’t even spare your junior brother,” the young man from before teased.

“Bullshit, can’t you see that he was the one who flirted with me first?” Miao Tao scolded.

“But you responded.” The young man was speechless.

“Come on, he’s so handsome and talented. Why can’t I reply to him?” Miao Tao rolled her eyes. “I’m not a nun.”

Everyone: …

Well said, they couldn’t refute it at all.

“You’re just attracted to his good looks,” the young man said contemptuously.

“You’re right. I’m feasting my eyes on him. You men like beautiful women, so why can’t we women like handsome guys?” Miao Tao sniggered.

“Of course! We never said you can’t go after handsome guys. If you can win over Junior Wang Teng’s heart, we will call you a heroine,” the young man said with a wry smile, giving Miao Tao a thumbs up.

“Hmph, I’ll show you what I’m capable of,” Miao Tao snorted lightly. Though she felt a bit nervous inside, she didn’t show any signs of backing down.

In truth, she was just talking big. She didn’t have the guts or confidence to take Wang Teng down.

She couldn’t see through Wang Teng at all. He even dared to tease her. Normal freshmen wouldn’t dare to do this.

She felt that if she flirted with him recklessly, she might be the one losing out.

How scary!

She didn’t want to admit it, but she wasn’t as good-looking as Yue Qiqiao.

Even Yue Qiqiao seemed a bit overshadowed by Wang Teng’s presence, let alone her.

“We’ll wait and see then,” the young man chuckled.

After joking around for a while, they wanted to leave. Suddenly, they saw several spacecraft flying in from a distance.

Multiple figures appeared in mid-air and landed at the edge of the Sword Storm Plain. They walked towards the stone plate.

“Why are they here?” Miao Tao and the others’ expressions changed slightly.

“They’re probably attracted by Wang Teng’s ranking. After all, he broke the record,” the young man said grimly.

“Miao Tao, why are y’all here? Have you seen Wang Teng?” A young man with a long sword behind his back asked when he saw Miao Tao and the others.

“He just left.” Miao Tao ignored these people and left immediately after replying to him.

“He left? It seems I arrived a step too late,” the young man with the long sword on his back frowned and murmured. He looked at the stone plate and saw Wang Teng’s name at the 99,999th position. All doubts were dispelled. He turned around and left, saying, “Since we’re in the same academy, there will be another chance to meet.”

The others left too. They came and left quickly.

Wang Teng didn’t know that he had attracted so many people just because he broke a small record.

If he knew, he would be glad that he left quickly.

Otherwise, getting involved with this group of people would surely lead to many more troubles.

On the spacecraft, Yue Qiqiao hesitated before asking, “Did you grasp a new enlightenment just now?”

“It’s just a small gain.” Wang Teng sat on the sofa in the lobby of the spacecraft and smiled at her.

“I didn’t expect you to break the record.” Yue Qiqiao didn’t ask further. “I’m afraid many people will be alerted.”

“It doesn’t matter. My existence has already stirred many people,” Wang Teng said with a calm expression.

Before he arrived at the stellar academy, many people already knew his name and his achievements. No matter how low-key he tried to be, it might not make much of a difference. It’s like the wind blowing when the tree desires stillness.

From the moment he ascended to the Star Rankings, “low-key” and “discreet” were probably out of reach for him.

Hence, it was better to keep a high profile and do whatever he wanted.

“True,” Yue Qiqiao nodded thoughtfully and smiled. “It’s not a bad thing. The bigger your reputation, the more advantageous it will be for the things we need to do later on.”

“You’re quite smart.” Wang Teng smiled. He hadn’t thought of this, but Yue Qiqiao did.

“Of course. I have some talent in doing business,” Yue Qiqiao said proudly.

“Then go ahead and make the most of it. If you can handle it well, I don’t mind leaving everything to you,” Wang Teng said with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Yue Qiqiao was elated. If she was in charge of everything, she would be able to earn more points.

Was this good opportunity falling into her lap like this?

It was unbelievable just thinking about it.

“Really?” She couldn’t help but ask.

“It depends on your performance,” Wang Teng answered.

“Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you,” Yue Qiqiao said confidently.
