Chapter 2417: Secondary Career Alliance Exchange Summit! Departure! (4) Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations “After all, attaining the highest honor will surely earn the respect of all secondary occupation practitioners. In the future, you will hold immense prestige within the Secondary Career Alliance.” “Why does this exchange event seem like a reputation-building activity?” Wang Teng remarked with a peculiar expression. “Hahaha, you could say that. Essentially, it’s about providing young talents with an opportunity to rise. Martial warriors have their ways, and we secondary occupation practitioners naturally have ours,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan chuckled. “Moreover, achieving a good ranking at this event will earn you renown throughout the universe, making you a target for various strong individuals seeking to recruit you, even as their honored guests.” “That’s not a bad deal,” Wang Teng nodded. “Not only that, if you enter the top ten, the Secondary Career Alliance will offer numerous rewards. From the tenth to the second place, it’s mostly material rewards, but if you secure the first place, the alliance will grant you core member status. This status is even higher than that of a grandmaster, with many privileges,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan explained. “Oh, I didn’t expect such benefits.” Wang Teng was even more surprised. “It’s only natural. Many geniuses are aiming for the rewards and that core member status,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan smiled. “Do you also have core member status?” Wang Teng couldn’t help but ask. “We would love to have such status, but unfortunately, we may have to wait until we ascend to the saint level to have a chance.” Grandmaster Alfred shook his head regretfully. “I wonder what privileges core members have?” Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed as he inquired further. Having core member status entitles you to exceptional treatment within the Secondary Career Alliance. You’ll enjoy significant discounts on purchasing spiritual medicines, various materials, and even alchemical formulas, arrays, and rare saint-level formulas and arrays will be accessible to you. Additionally, there s one crucial point,” Grandmaster Hua Yuan paused before continuing, “Once you attain core member status, if any mishap befalls you, the Secondary Career Alliance will seek vengeance relentlessly until their goals are achieved.” “Relentless until their goals are achieved!” Wang Teng’s heart trembled. He dare not underestimate the weight of those words. As one of the giant organizations in the universe, the weight of this statement was incredibly heavy, not inferior to that of the Virtual Universe Corporation! In certain situations, it might even be more terrifying than being under the protection of an eternal-stage ruler. Of course, one couldn’t say who was higher or lower in status between the two. The statement from the Secondary Career Alliance, while impactful in the event of the killing of a core member, indeed carried significant deterrent power. However, in certain desperate situations, people were capable of anything. If a killing occurs, it occurs. Moreover, if the act happened in certain secluded and secretive locations where evidence was lacking, the Secondary Career Alliance remains powerless. However, the eternal-stage rulers of the Virtual Universe Corporation were different. They were the key to safeguarding prodigies from falling. Hence, the nature of the two was distinct. “The Secondary Career Alliance’s statement might seem just a phrase, but nobody can underestimate its weight. There have been eternal-stage powerhouses who offended the Secondary Career Alliance, and just because of this phrase, those eternal-stage martial warriors ultimately perished. Even the intervention of true gods pleading on their behalf proved futile.” Grandmaster Hua Yuan sighed deeply. Rumors have it that at that time, three true gods intervened willingly to fulfill the Secondary Career Alliance’s decree.” “Three true gods!” Wang Teng gasped, thoroughly astonished. “Is it really that terrifying?” “Yes, it’s a true event, not fabricated,” Grandmaster Alfred and the others affirmed. “It seems like I must attend this exchange event.” Wang Teng took a deep breath, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes. I he opportunity to observe the geniuses of the secondary career alliance had become secondary. The real value lies in attaining core member status. He recently received the god-stage prodigy contract from the Virtual Universe Corporation. If he obtained core member status from the Secondary Career Alliance too, that would be unprecedented. Who would dare provoke him in the future? Even top universe races like the Heishan Royal Clan, though unafraid of the eternal-stage guardians of the Virtual Universe Corporation, would have to consider the indiscriminate warning from the Secondary Career Alliance. Indeed, from Wang Teng’s perspective, the Secondary Career Alliance’s statement was an indiscriminate warning. It was akin to saying… I’m not saying this for the benefit of a specific individual, but for everyone to hear. Wasn’t that impressive and bold? Even Wang Teng himself was awestruck by the Secondary Career Alliance’s boldness. The main thing was that with the core member status in the Secondary Career Alliance and the god-stage prodigy contract from the Virtual Universe Corporation, Wang Teng felt even more secure. Grandmaster Alfred and Grandmaster Hua Yuan exchanged a glance, their faces suddenly revealing sly smiles. It was a success! Seeing Wang Teng’s expression, they knew the deal was sealed. He couldn’t possibly resist such temptation. “Where will this exchange summit be held?” Wang Teng inquired. “At the headquarters of the Secondary Career Alliance. You can look it up for yourself, Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others said mysteriously. “Alright,” Wang Teng rolled his eyes. These grandmasters were all elderly folks, yet they still behaved mischievously. “Then let’s meet at the headquarters of the Secondary Career Alliance,” Grandmaster Huayuan and the others suggested. “Sure!” Wang Teng nodded in agreement. After chatting for a few more moments, they ended the communication. “Wang Teng, this core member status in the Secondary Career Alliance sounds pretty impressive,” Round Ball remarked, “But I looked into it, and even for the first place, there are very few who can obtain core member status. It requires the approval of the majority of the Secondary Career Alliance members. Those grandmasters were just trying to entice you.” “I know. Such an important status wouldn’t come easily,” Wang Teng chuckled. “But with so many secondary occupation geniuses, it’s bound to be a grand event. It’ll be beneficial for both of us to attend.” “That’s true. I’ve never been to such an event before,” Round Ball also expressed its excitement. Wang Teng smiled faintly and said, “Notify the elders of the Five Burial Stars that we’re about to leave.” “Sure thing!” Round Ball immediately sent out the message. Although the elders and the family heads had anticipated this, they were still somewhat surprised when they received Wang Teng’s notification. They hurried over. “Councilor Wang Teng, are you leaving so soon?” Hengzang Bo asked. “Just received a message from the Secondary Career Alliance. I’m going to attend their exchange summit,” Wang Teng explained. “The Secondary Career Alliance Exchange Summit!” Hengzang Bo and the others couldn’t help but be surprised. “That’s right, as a grandmaster alchemist, with your talent, you must participate in this event. I’ve heard that many secondary occupation geniuses will be present.” “I’m looking forward to experiencing it,” Wang Teng smiled. “Since you have important matters to attend to, we won’t keep you,” Hengzang Bo and the others shook their heads and said, “We wish Councilor Wang Teng all the best at the exchange event!” “It’s hard to say, but I’ll do my best,” Wang Teng clasped his fists towards the members of the five major families. “Farewell, everyone. Until we meet again!” With those words, a massive black spacecraft appeared in the sky. It was the Devil Slayer! In the next moment, the spacecraft’s hatch automatically opened. Wang Teng’s gaze swept over the faces of the crowd, and with a slight smile, he entered without hesitation. I he spacecraft turned into a streak of black light, accelerating at an incredible speed, heading toward the vast universe. A strong wind blew across the land. It did not affect the people present. The people of the Five Burial Stars watched the spacecraft depart, feeling a mix of emotions. The arrival of Councilor Wang Teng brought significant changes to the Five Burial Stars, but they couldn’t determine if it was for better or for worse. However, they had no choice but to adapt to these changes. If it weren’t for Councilor Wang Teng’s arrival, the Five Burial Stars might have faced an even more brutal fate. The strength of the Heishan Royal Clan was something they couldn’t contend with. Perhaps, the current situation was the best outcome they could hope for. The emotions of the people of the Five Burial Stars fluctuated as various thoughts crossed their minds. He s gone!” Yizang Xinnuo felt a little dejected, her gaze lingering on the sky where the streak of light from the spacecraft had long disappeared. “Xinnuo, do you want to go out for a walk?” Shouzang Caiyun suddenly asked through voice transmission..
