Chapter 2401  Virtual Universe Corporation Arrives! A God-Stage Prodigy Contract! (1)

Inside the manor, Wang Teng returned to his chamber and found his clone seated cross-legged on the bed. He sighed with relief, realizing that no one had come looking for him during his absence.

He then proceeded to stow away the clone and settled himself on the bed, legs crossed, once again retrieving that mysterious and terrifying beast skin.

Wang Teng gazed at the skin with lingering trepidation, unable to fathom how such an inconspicuous hide could exude such dreadful energies.

If not for the Nine Treasures Pagoda condensed using a legendary scripture, he might have been in grave danger.

”What was that aura emanating from the Nine Treasures Pagoda just now?”

Wang Teng wondered, his curiosity piqued. He delved his consciousness into his Inner Cosmos, attempting to sense the Nine Treasures Pagoda.

However, the golden tower had already returned to its calm state, revealing nothing discernible.

The surge of energy had vanished as swiftly as it came, leaving only a sense of ancient solemnity in its wake, impervious to further scrutiny.

”The Buddhaʼs Sutra is even more mystical than I had imagined,” Wang Teng mused. He now regarded the scripture with heightened reverence. He resolved to seek out the remaining teachings for future cultivation.

At the same time, he was glad that he had refined the Nine Treasures Pagoda in time. Otherwise, he might have found it challenging to withstand the skinʼs ominous energies.

”Wang Teng, it seems this beast skin is quite a treasure,” Round Ball remarked, finally regaining its composure. It was in a daze. If Wang Tengʼs Nine Treasures Pagoda had not shielded them from the skinʼs energies, it too would have been affected.

Intelligent lifeforms were devoid of physical form, their essence was primarily composed of spirit. The skinʼs energies were precisely attuned to such spirits.

”Well, it appears Iʼve stumbled upon a fortune!”

Wang Teng nodded, his gaze flickering with a hint of intrigue. His lips curved into a sudden smile.

Judging by the sheer intensity of its aura, it could undoubtedly pose a threat to a universe-stage existence. As for eternal-stage beings, that remained open to debate.

If only he had possessed such an artifact earlier, he wouldnʼt have been so ruthlessly cornered by Elder Hui.

Furthermore, Wang Teng sensed that the beast skin seemed to be reusable, not rendered completely useless after just one use.

The resilience of the skin was remarkable and difficult to destroy. The star beast it belonged to must have been an exceedingly powerful entity.

Wang Teng continued his examination of the skin for a while longer when suddenly a knocking sounded at the door.

”Wang Teng, are you finished with your tasks? Come out and have something to eat. You havenʼt eaten anything for days,” Yizang Xinnuo called from outside the door.

”Well, I am feeling a bit hungry,” Wang Tengʼs eyes flickered slightly as he opened the door and stepped out.

Yizang Xinnuo smiled faintly upon seeing Wang Teng. ”I personally prepared some delicacies from the Five Burial Stars. Brother Wang Teng, you must taste them.”

”Oh, you made them yourself?!” Wang Teng was genuinely surprised.

”Yes, Iʼve always been interested in various cuisines since I was young, so I learned some culinary skills. Iʼm a Force chef master now,” Yizang Xinnuo said proudly.

”In that case, I must truly savor them,” Wang Teng chuckled.

While the delicacies made by a Force chef master couldnʼt compare to those of Wang Teng, a Force chef grandmaster, he couldnʼt possibly deflate her enthusiasm.

In the dining room, a table laden with fragrant dishes awaited them. Shouzang Caiyun and Guizang Zhu, who had been waiting at the table, rose with smiles to greet Wang Teng. ”Wang Teng, come and eat. Sister Xinnuo made so many delicious dishes. We were just waiting for you.”

”Everyoneʼs here!” Wang Teng nodded with a smile, making his way to an empty seat.

Yizang Xinnuo also sat down.

The group ate and chatted happily.

He had to admit the dishes prepared by Yizang Xinnuo were indeed impressive. They had reached the master level and were even tastier than those of an average Force chef master, a testament to her extraordinary culinary skills.

After the meal, Wang Teng returned to his room.

”Wang Teng, what do you think they wanted to confirm?” Round Ballʼs figure materialized, asking.

”Well, members of the five families probably went to investigate that planet. They must want to see if thereʼs any connection to me,” Wang Teng speculated.

”Why would they think thereʼs a connection to you?” Round Ball furrowed its brows, finding it rather peculiar.

”Itʼs not surprising. Iʼm probably the only anomaly on the Five Burial Stars now. Regardless, theyʼll surely want to take a look,” Wang Teng replied.

”That makes sense. Looks like youʼre quite self-aware,” Round Ball nodded in agreement and teased him.

”Given the constraints on the Five Burial Stars, now that theyʼve acknowledged my identity, I should leave!” Wang Teng said with seriousness.

”Before that, it seems we need to report to the Academy Arbitration Association,” Roundy suggested.

”Iʼll leave it to you. Make sure to vividly describe what happened here,” Wang Teng instructed.

”Youʼre leaving it to me again?” Round Ball rolled its eyes, speechless.

”Of course.” Wang Teng grinned, stroking his chin. ”Remember to report on the incident with the Heishan Royal Clan and exaggerate my sufferings. An eternal-stage martial warrior attacked me, nearly causing my demise. Even so, I sustained severe injuries and have yet to fully recover…”

He went on and on, finally concluding, ”In short, make sure the academy gets me justice.”

Round Ball cast a strange glance at Wang Teng, never having encountered such shamelessness before. It sighed. ”Fine, I understand.”

As it was about to disappear to draft the report for Wang Teng, it suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
