The next morning, sunlight shone in through the window and landed on the bed.

Wang Teng sat cross-legged on his soft mattress. The blanket hadn’t been touched.

He slowly opened his eyes. A colorful glimmer flashed in his eyes and disappeared in an instant. It looked divine.

He got up from bed, leaving only a light dent on the blanket.

This was a display of the powerful control of his body strength.

Wang Teng cultivated everywhere. He practiced his strength and control every day in his every action, hoping to release the potential of his power to its limit.

His enlightenment and physique were at an extremely high level, so he was able to go into more details in his cultivation.

He took off his clothes, revealing his well-proportioned and almost perfect body. His muscles were tight and firm. The outlines were defined like a sculpture.

He took a few minutes to wash up. Then, he dressed himself and dried his hair. He walked out of his room and went down for breakfast.

Zhu Yushao and the others were already here. They were sitting in a corner of the restaurant and having breakfast. They chatted occasionally.

They immediately noticed Wang Teng when he entered.

“Here.” Zhu Yushao waved at him.

Wang Teng smiled and nodded at them. He went to get his breakfast first.

The breakfast was buffet-style. All kinds of cuisines were provided. You could choose whatever dish you fancied.

As a Force chef master, he could smell what was delicious and what wasn’t.

After picking his food, Wang Teng carried his plate and walked towards the table where his companions were at.

Zhu Yushao pulled an empty chair. Wang Teng sat down and smiled. “You’re so early.”

“We’re going back soon. I lost in the competition and have no face to go back. How can I sleep well?” Zhu Yushao sighed. She chewed on her bread as she replied.

Wang Teng didn’t know what to say.

Zhu Yushao glanced at him and continued, “You must have slept well. After all, you won the competition hands down.”

“Alright, alright. Look how jealous you are.” Wang Teng rolled his eyes as he ate his breakfast.

At this moment, Dan Taixuan walked over. “You are all up!”

“I just came,” Wang Teng said.

“Hmph, you still have the guts to appear.” Dan Taixuan sneered as she looked at him from the corner of her eyes.

This lady bears grudges!

Wang Teng laughed awkwardly and changed the topic. Pointing at the cake in his hand, he said, “This almond cake is not bad. Sister Xuan, do you want to try it? I especially took a piece for you.”

Dan Taixuan was speechless. She glared at Wang Teng and snatched the other piece of almond cake on his plate, taking a bite of it.

Wang Teng could finally heave a sigh of relief…

After they finished their breakfast, Parick suddenly came. He said, “Everyone, you might have to put your schedule on hold.”

“What’s the matter?” Dan Taixuan frowned.

“Someone wants to see Mister Wang Teng,” Parick looked at Wang Teng and said.

“See me?” Wang Teng pointed at himself in surprise.

“Yes. Can you come with me?” Parick asked politely.

Wang Teng exchanged glances with Dan Taixuan. Then, he asked, “You need to tell me who wants to see me. I don’t have time to waste.”

Parick hesitated for some time. He didn’t reply to him, but he pointed in the direction of the peak of Mount Saint.

Wang Teng was astounded.

Parick was hinting to him that someone on the peak wanted to see him. Since he wasn’t willing to say who it was, the person’s identity must be extremely special.

Wang Teng had an idea of who it was.

Dan Taixuan and the others were shocked too. It was difficult to see the important figures of Mount Saint, but they wanted to meet Wang Teng.

“Did they say why?” Dan Taixuan asked.

“How would I know?” Parick gave a bitter smile.

Dan Taixuan was hesitant. Who knew what those people wanted? She felt worried about letting Wang Teng go alone.

Noticing her apprehension, Parick said, “Miss Dan, don’t worry. Mount Saint will definitely ensure Wang Teng’s safety. We are inviting him up the mountain because someone wants to chat with him.”

Dan Taixuan opened her mouth.

Words were empty. Anyone could say it. It didn’t guarantee anything.

However, Wang Teng said, “It’s alright, I’ll go with him. I wonder which important figure wants to see me.”

“Mount Saint is filled with formidable warriors. Don’t act on impulse.” Dan Taixuan frowned. She spoke to him using voice transmission.

“Don’t worry. This is Mount Saint. If anything happens to me, their reputation will be destroyed. Also, they’re not some evil clan. They won’t attack me for no reason.” Wang Teng added using voice transmission. “Also, don’t you want to know what they have up their sleeves?”

“In that case, be careful. Mount Saint is mysterious. Don’t create troubles.” Dan Taixuan agreed with him, so she let him go. However, she was still worried.

She knew that Wang Teng wasn’t an obedient boy.

Wang Teng felt exasperated. It seemed impossible to change his image in Dan Taixuan’s mind.

“Let’s go.” He walked out of the hotel.

After they walked away, Mu Zhiguo finally whispered, “Will it really be alright?”

“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Dan Taixuan shook her head and asked everyone to go back to their rooms to wait for him.

Wang Teng followed Parick up the mountain. They walked past the coliseum and arrived at the last section of the stone staircase heading to the peak.

Someone was already waiting there.

“You’re here,” the person said.

“High priest!” Wang Teng was surprised. “Are you the one looking for me?”

“No, I came to bring you up the mountain.” The high priest shook his head. There was confusion in his eyes too. He didn’t understand why that person wanted to meet Wang Teng.

Wang Teng had showcased outstanding abilities in this exchange and was way ahead of the other talented martial warriors. However, the difference in status between him and that person was vast.

Wang Teng glanced up uncontrollably when he heard this. He saw the 12 palaces situated on the path that was winding up the mountain, all the way until it reached the Holy Temple at the peak…

“I heard that if a normal person wants to go up the mountain, they need to challenge the 12 zodiac palaces. Do I have to do that?” Wang Teng asked.

If he needed to, he would turn around and leave.

He was interested to fight with the 12 holy knights and get some attribute bubbles from them, but that didn’t mean that he was willing to be led by the nose by someone.

Even if that someone was from Mount Saint.

“You don’t need to.” The high priest shook his head. He raised his feet and walked up, his voice floating over from the front. “Follow me.”

Wang Teng hesitated and glanced at Parick.

“I’ll be stopping here. You can go ahead,” Parick said.

Wang Teng nodded and caught up with the high priest slowly.

They climbed the stairs in silence.

“Huh?!” As they walked, Wang Teng let out a surprised gasp. He felt a little stunned.

The first zodiac palace seemed very near. Yet they hadn’t reached it even though they had been walking for some time.

There’s something strange about this path!

He thought to himself silently.. This got him a little interested.
