Chapter 768: You’re Too Talkative

The existence of Zhou Botong and the others could be roughly explained.

However, what he could not understand was why he would be so popular the moment he arrived. It was as if all the VIPs wanted to recruit him.

The Great World of Tianji was somewhat like a game. Even if there was a Master-Disciple system here, they did not need to grab him like that, did they?

Could it be that they wanted to expand their power?

He was obviously the weakest in this place. There was no need to recruit someone that weak, right? If they wanted to, they should either recruit an elite or a whole group with much more potential.

He did not understand it at all. And so, he then asked Zhou Botong in front of him about the questions that he had.

Zhou Botong then explained to him with a smile, “To be honest, there aren’t many areas or cities within the Great World of Tianji. It has more Secret Maps instead. There are plenty of treasures within Secret Maps, and all of those who enter the Secret Maps would have their stats scaled and standardized.”

“That means that if both of us enter the Secret Map, my power would be scaled to be the same as yours. At that time, Combat Rating and Inner Chi wouldn’t be as useful. Meanwhile, combat skills and teamwork would be more important. Oh, I forgot. There is also a limit as to how many parties can enter the Secret Map. The Xingyue Area and Tianmo Area have the slots to send in two teams. Those who aren’t part of these two areas also have the slots to send in two teams. These people are called ‘Tianji Freelancers.’”

“Tianji Freelancers?” Jiang Feng asked.

“The Tianji Freelancers are made up of the natives and those who are not willing to join the Xingyue Area or Tianmo Area. This means that every time a Secret Map is opened up, only six parties will be allowed entry, and each party can have at most five people. That means that there are a total of thirty! Of course, the numbers of parties are fixed. Others could enter the Secret Map as well, but they would not be able to fight for the most powerful treasure.”

…

Jiang Feng’s suspicion was mostly gone after hearing what Zhou Botong had to say.

From Zhou Botong’s words, he knew that there were plenty of Secret Maps in the Great World of Tianji.

If he wanted the ultimate treasures within a Secret Map, he would need to join a party to be able to fight for it. There were six parties, and they were separated into three factions.

He could go in solo, but he would not be able to fight for the ultimate treasure.

The reason Zhou Botong wanted to pull him into the group was that they wanted him to fight for the entire team and reap the rewards.

If all the teams’ powers were the same, Jiang Feng’s current ability would allow him to easily deal with three other players at the same time. That was why all the VIPs were trying to recruit him, because of his strength when he was fighting against those in the same rank.

He followed Zhou Botong and entered an exceptionally large manor.

The name of the manor was called Tianya Pavilion!

There were two fighting rings in the manor’s courtyard, and they were surrounded by a screen of light. There were two groups within the ring, and all of their members’ powers were suppressed to Heaven Realm One Star.

The synergy between each party was perfect. There were those that specialized in learning DPS Secret Manuals, and there were those that specialized in learning Speed Secret Manuals, there were also those who specialized in Ranged Attack Secret Manuals and Crowd-Control Secret Manuals. Behind each team, there was one who specialized in Acupuncture, responsible for healing their teammates.

“Gather around, everyone!”

Zhou Botong then glanced at the group that was training and those that were watching them.

At that moment, all of them stopped and glanced at Zhou Botong. When they saw Jiang Feng, they suddenly understood what was happening and contempt appeared on their faces.

When Jiang Feng saw their expressions, he frowned. ‘What’s with the face? Seems like you’re looking down on me!’

Of course. His power was currently only at Earth Realm Six Stars, and the weakest among them was at Heaven Realm One Star. He could not compare with them at all.

Zhou Botong had his hand on Jiang Feng’s shoulder as he introduced him to everyone saying, “This is Jiang Feng. From now on, you are all Martial Siblings. Whoever’s team is short of people can take him along.”

A man who looked normal gave Jiang Feng a condescending glance, and he said, “Master, my team is full. I have no need for a backup member!”

“Master, my party is full too. And our training to synergize with each other is almost complete.”

“Master, our team doesn’t need anyone new.”

…

No parties wanted to accept Jiang Feng as all of them looked down on him.

Not to mention that Jiang Feng was a newbie. He did not know anything. If he were to join a party, they needed to retrain with each other again to perfect their synergy. Many of them did not have the patience.

Jiang Feng was quite angry to be treated as such, he then said to Zhou Botong, “Senior Zhou, let’s just forget about the whole disciple thing. I think I should just grow on my own.”

With that, he was about to leave.

Zhou Botong caught his arm and said, “Jiang Feng, don’t get angry. When others join the Tianya Pavilion, I will set up a new team for you.”

Jiang Feng then said to Zhou Botong with a smile, “Senior Zhou. To be honest, I am used to being alone. I don’t think I’ll be able to stand these arrogant people. I’m sorry, but I think it’s better for me to do it on my own!” After saying that, he then turned around and wanted to leave.

At this time, a man called Tian Chong suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Feng and pointed at him as he yelled, “Who the hell are you calling arrogant? A garbage newbie like you dare to say something like that? Kneel before me!”

Zhou Botong glanced at Tian Chong with a frown, but he did not say anything.

In truth, Jiang Feng did not have a bad impression of Zhou Botong. Maybe because Zhou Botong was too cute in the novel. That was why he wanted to become his disciple.

However, when he glanced at all these proud people, and at Zhou Botong who obviously wanted to test his strength by not interfering, he decided to give up on joining Zhou Botong’s Tianya Pavilion.

‘If you believe in me, I could create miracles for you!’

‘If you don’t believe in me? Sorry!’

However, he did not have any bad impression of Zhou Botong. He only had a bad impression of those who were as proud as Tian Chong.

Jiang Feng jumped up and landed on the ring, and he then pointed at Tian Chong. “If you can defeat me, I will stay here of my own free will. You can have me do whatever you want. If you lose, kneel down and give me three kowtows!”

‘Seriously. You think it was so easy for me to become the Shifter Emperor?’

He could not take it. He wanted to challenge Tian Chong using the ring’s suppression.

“Hahahaha! That newbie is really new! Tian Chong is Tianya Team Team A’s captain. Even when he is suppressed at the same level, he is not someone he could fight against!”

“True. Tian Chong can defeat three of those at the same rank as him. He was even able to help Tianya Pavilion enter the top three in last year’s Tianji Tournament and managed to get 100 player slots!”

“Captain Tian, go and whip that egotistical newbie’s butt!”

…

Hm? He could get player slots from the Tianji Tournament in Xingyue Area? 100 of them for third place!

Jiang Feng did not care about the sniggering from all around him. Instead, he found out from their conversation that he could get player slots through the tournament, and he became interested.

Whoosh!

Tian Chong appeared on the ring, and he looked at Jiang Feng with a cold smile. “I have seen plenty of newbies. You are the most arrogant one among them. Don’t think that you can beat me just because my power has been suppressed. No matter if it’s experience or skill, you can’t compare yourself to me!”

“You talk too much!” Jiang Feng dug his ear with his finger and rolled his eyes at Tian Chong.
