Chapter 2466: Gu Luo In White! Gu Hong Territorial Domain! Top Three! (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
In the Liuguang Territorial Domain, a tripartite dominance prevailed.
The Great Qian Empire, the Namoss Empire, and the Chidara Eree Federation held sway over the entire Liuguang Territorial Domain. Compared to the six powers in the Phantom Drift Territorial Domain, the dynamics were undoubtedly simpler and relatively straightforward.
Overall, the power disparity among the three major forces wasnât significant. Each had its own advantages. Hence, despite occasional friction, they maintained a delicate balance.
As the Namoss Empireâs ship descended, a group of people emerged from within. With a single glance, they spotted Grandmaster Alfred and the others in the distance.
âGrandmaster Alfred!â
An elderly manâs gaze flickered slightly as he spoke in surprise.
âDobin!â Grandmaster Alfred squinted, his gaze fixed on the elderly man.
âYouâre here early,â Dobin remarked with a smile, his eyes glinting.
âItâs a grand event for the Secondary Career Alliance, so naturally, we had to arrive early,â Grandmaster Alfred replied.
âIt seems like your Great Qian Empireâs branch is well-prepared this time,â Dobin observed, his gaze sweeping over Grandmaster Alfred and the others with a hint of curiosity.
Behind Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others stood a group of much younger secondary professionals. They were renowned young prodigies of the Great Qian Empire, excelling in their respective fields. Hence, they were chosen to participate in this exchange summit of the Secondary Career Alliance.
After all, the Great Qian Empire couldnât solely rely on Wang Tengâs participation. They also needed to provide opportunities for other young talents.
âThe Namoss Empire seems to be no different,â Grandmaster Alfred remarked, casting a glance at the young secondary professionals behind Dobin.
âHahaha, indeed! Indeed!â Dobin chuckled heartily, a hint of pride on his face. âLet me introduce you. This is our Namoss Empireâs most outstanding alchemy prodigy, Grandmaster Hu Dong. His accomplishments make us old folks feel inadequate.â
A young man clad in alchemy robes stood beside Dobin, his handsome face adorned with a gentle smile, devoid of any arrogance, appearing exceedingly approachable.
âGreetings, grandmasters,â Grandmaster Hu Dongâs gaze swept over Grandmaster Alfred, Grandmaster Hua Yuan, and the others, his voice carrying a faint smile. âIâve long heard of the formidable strength of the Great Qian Empireâs Secondary Career Alliance branch, boasting many outstanding master-level secondary professionals. Itâs truly an eye-opening experience to meet you all today.â
âOh, I wouldnât dare claim such praise,â Grandmaster Alfred chuckled, responding, âGrandmaster Hu Dong, you seem to be no more than a hundred and fifty years old, quite young and promising.â
âNaturally so. Grandmaster Hu Dong is merely 135 years old,â Dobin interjected with a smile.
âThatâs indeed young,â Grandmaster Alfred remarked.
â135 years old was indeed considered young for a grandmaster.
Though unable to ascertain the exact realm of the other party, those invited to this exchange summit were undoubtedly high-level grandmasters, unlikely to be low-level ones.
And to reach such a high level at such a young age, no matter where, was considered a genius among geniuses.
Butâ¦
Dobin furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat puzzled by Grandmaster Alfredâs peculiar expression. However, he didnât dwell on it too much, assuming that Grandmaster Alfred was simply taken aback by Grandmaster Hu Dongâs youth.
Even he was astonished upon first meeting Grandmaster Hu Dong, secretly lamenting his own lifeâs mediocrity.
At only 135 years old, Grandmaster Hu Dong had already reached the high ranks of a grandmaster. Meanwhile, despite his advanced age, Dobin couldnât compare, and in some aspects, he was even inferior.
Fortunately, Grandmaster Hu Dong was a genius from their Namoss Empire, destined to bring glory to their empire.
However, he failed to notice that not only did Grandmaster Alfredâs expression seem strange, but the expressions of Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others behind him were equally peculiar.
Just a moment ago, they were discussing how Grandmaster Wang Teng, at only in his twenties, was considered too young. Now, these grandmasters from the Namoss Empire were telling them how young their grandmasters were.
To be honest, if it werenât for the brilliance of Grandmaster Wang Teng preceding them, a master at 135 years old would indeed have surprised them. But now, it seemed somewhat ordinary in comparison.
âYouâre too kind. I am still young and have much to learn from you esteemed seniors,â Grandmaster Hu Dong humbly remarked.
Dobin, feeling quite pleased with himself, stepped aside to make way for another young man and continued with his introductions.
âAnd here we have Grandmaster Kangmos, our empireâs most outstanding rune grandmaster, who is only 160 years old.â
Grandmaster Kangmos, quite proud of himself, stood with a certain air of superiority, clad in the exquisite robes of a rune master. With his long hair flowing down his shoulders, he stood with his hands behind his back and merely nodded in acknowledgment of Grandmaster Alfred and the others, considering it sufficient courtesy.
âYouthful indeed, very youthful,â Grandmaster Alfred and the others nodded in agreement, seemingly unconcerned.
Dobinâs brow furrowed even deeper.
Somethingâs not right!
Grandmaster Alfredâs expression was off!
Previously, he would have been quick to react to such boasting, likely to refute a few statements.
But today? Not only did he not argue, but he also went along with it wholeheartedly.
Thus, he didnât gain any joy from boasting.
Dobin, unwilling to give up, then introduced another man, tall and muscular, with a face and body covered in reddish fur, saying, âAnd this is Grandmaster Amos, a prodigy of the Firebear tribe, possessing exceptional forging talent, and currently at only 156 years old..â
