Wang Ye laughed as he spoke to Long Qingtian:

"It's okay, Boss Long, no need to say anymore, I understand it all!"

Wang Ye's smile lacked any depth, seemingly unconcerned about the things Long Qingtian had mentioned. Yet, it was this very smile that made Long Qingtian and Xu Heng's hearts sink even more.

They... had hit Wang Ye hard!

Inside, Wang Ye might also have been feeling quite desperate.

Upon realizing that even though his strength was already formidable, it paled in comparison to some of the powerhouses on Spirit Star, Wang Ye must have felt some despair.

Just like they did when they thought about this issue!

But, Wang Ye did not display those feelings of despair. Instead, he retained a smile on his face, an air of indifference, and spoke to them directly in such a manner.

...

After leaving the Ministry of Defense, Wang Ye tore through space and arrived in his office; the smile that had just formed on his face instantly vanished.

The expression on his face became somewhat stiff!

Just as Long Qingtian and Xu Heng had guessed, when Wang Ye realized and confirmed this truth, he indeed felt some despair.

But he knew he was different from others.

Others, when they despaired, might just give up, impacting perhaps only themselves or at most a family.

He was different.

If he were to give up, the repercussions would not just affect him or a family, but a whole nation, even the entire Earth Star.

This was no exaggeration!

Long Qingtian was stronger than Wang Ye. Gu Pan's strength had actually already surpassed Wang Ye's.

Their potential had essentially been exhausted.

The only one who might have a chance to become a Peerless Warrior was probably only Wang Ye.

All the burdens were on Wang Ye.

Dragon Country, Earth Star, responsibility.

The pressure from all this made Wang Ye, in his early twenties, feel as if his back was already starting to bend slightly.

Earlier, with hope, Wang Ye felt that once he achieved the rank of Peerless Warrior, he could directly deal with all those guys from Spirit Star.

But now, upon realizing that even becoming a Peerless Warrior would not suffice to handle the folks from Spirit Star, Wang Ye felt a sense of despair.

Ahead, it seemed all dark.

No color whatsoever.

Wang Ye's eyes even appeared lifeless.

It was then that a sneering voice resounded in Wang Ye's ear:

"Yo, you unfilial disciple, haven't you always been carefree? How come you've suddenly become like an old man in such a short time?"

At the sound of the voice, Wang Ye's somewhat lackluster eyes instantly emitted a bright light as he looked in the direction the voice came from.

He saw his master, Wang Yifeng, sitting in his office chair, staring at him with a teasing smile.

The smile on his face even carried a bit of mockery.

"Master..."

Wang Ye, somewhat uncertain, rubbed his eyes. He went to Wang Yifeng's side and with one swipe, slapped Wang Yifeng's face fiercely.

He needed to make sure.

If it was his master.

What if it's not my own master?

What if I misjudged?

However, just as Wang Ye's palm was about to reach Wang Yifeng's face, Wang Yifeng swiftly dodged, and the Wang Yifeng in front of Wang Ye disappeared.

Then.

Bang!

Wang Ye felt his head harshly struck from behind, causing severe pain that momentarily gave him the sensation of a concussion. Even his vision blurred, making it hard to see clearly.

But on Wang Ye's face, a frenzy of excitement erupted!

Ecstasy!

This was his master!

Even though he had reached the realm of a first-class warrior and could potentially avoid a sudden slap even from Long Qingtian, Long Qingtian might, possibly, manage to dodge his slap.

However, there was no way he could strike back at him.

Therefore, the one with such formidable strength could be no one else but his own master, who had tricked him into leaving the mountain long ago, and by the time he returned, had vanished.

It was Wang Yifeng.

"Master, hit me again; the pain just now felt a bit unreal. I'm afraid it was an illusion; hit me one more time."

Wang Yifeng rolled his eyes, not expecting that upon their reunion, his disciple would make such an unreasonable request — to be hit again.

But Wang Yifeng still indulged his disciple's unreasonable demand.

Wang Ye was slapped again, his face turning into an expression of ecstasy, the pain confirming indeed, his master had returned!

"Master!"

In that moment, Wang Ye, like a child, flung himself into Wang Yifeng's arms, earning a look of disdain from Wang Yifeng.

But, although the look was one of disdain, Wang Yifeng's mouth cracked open, revealing his white teeth, showing another mood altogether.

"Enough, how old are you already, still acting like a child here, get up."

After a while, Wang Yifeng finished speaking and didn't give Wang Ye a chance, but simply threw him to the ground.

Wang Ye: "…"

This was the affection from a master.

"You must know about the matters between Spirit Star and Earth Star by now, I must say, your talent is indeed not bad, but of course, it's not just talent."

"Being able to enhance your strength to this level in such a short time was unexpected."

Wang Yifeng first praised him: "However, your temperament still needs improvement! I know why you must be feeling the way you do today. As I see it, a true man should face difficulties head-on, not just give up because others say it can't be overcome, only a fool would do such a thing!"

"But…"

"But what!"

Having not seen each other for a long time, Wang Yifeng's tone of reprimanding Wang Ye hadn't changed. At that moment, he scolded Wang Ye, then continued:

"Don't just echo others! Haven't I told you before about the story of the little horse crossing the river? You have to try things yourself to know whether they can succeed or not!"

Wang Ye sighed.

He probably knew why his master had returned from Spirit Star.

It was because Earth Star had encountered troubles.

Sighing, considering the enhancement of his strength to Peerless Warrior left him momentarily disheartened, but then, Wang Ye's face was quickly covered by a smile.

However, that was no longer important!

After all, his master had already returned!
