Chapter 539 - Hapless Prodigy (1/2)

It was truly a surprise.

Not long later, another door beamed with flashes.

A person came right out of it. He was riding a tiger, which emanated the aura of a D-tier beast king. The man was none other than the prodigal summoner, Zhuang Sen.

Qin Feng remembered him too.

‘Zhuang Sen, the man who popularized the summoner cla.s.s in the future. It all started with his Sacred Tiger breaking through the Emperor Cla.s.s and evolving into Deity Cla.s.s. Though he would only reach the A-tier, his power is equivalent to that of an S-tier because of his formidable contracted beast.’

As Qin Feng recalled Zhuang Sen’s achievement, he subconsciously rubbed Bai Li’s fur, who was lying on his folded arm.

Once he had attained A-tier, he would have Bai Li evolve into Deity Cla.s.s too.

Zhuang Sen nudged his beast once he entered the tower and the Sacred Tiger leaped graciously through the air. They landed right in front of the three persons that were already there.

Zhuang Sen acknowledged the other two with a slight nod and fixed his gaze on Qin Feng.

“So, you are Qin Feng?”

Long Gan had not checked the rankings at all during the race. But Zhuang Sen had been peeking at it throughout after he was overtaken by Qin Feng. He wanted to reclaim his position.

Surprisingly, Qin Feng even overtook Long Gan at the last minute and pa.s.sed the test first.

In other words, Qin Feng was the indisputable best prodigy this term.

“I am. It’s nice to meet you,” Qin Feng replied politely.

He was a man in his second life. If he had not reclaimed his lost talent in this reiterated life, there was no way he would ever get the chance to interact with these top prodigies.

Perhaps due to the hards.h.i.+p he had experienced in his past life, Qin Feng was a man with confidence now. He would not bow down to or flatter the others just because they were going to be respectable elects in the future.

He believed he would be at that level someday too. Probably, he would even reach it earlier than these so-called prodigies in this reborn life.

“Er… Nice, nice to meet you. My name is Zhuang Sen.” Zhuang Sen initially talked to Qin Feng from a rivalry standpoint. But to his surprise, Qin Feng had greeted him back politely. Such a friendly gesture had the summoner stuttering.

Though he still felt an imbalance emotionally, Long Gan was back to himself on the outside. He appeared calm and greeted, “Hi, I am Long Gan.”

“Hi!”

They shook hands and Long Gan finally asked the question that had been bothering him, “Your surge is definitely a surprise to all of us. What tier are you at now? Why don’t you carry a badge with you?”

Zhuang Sen was eager to know the answer too.

Qin Feng answered, “I am just trying to be low-key and avoid attention.”

Zhuang Sen and Long Gan were speechless. Not that he would attract more attention than them, who were probably the highest tier at D6 in this compet.i.tion.

“That’s not right. Prodigies like us are destined to be the center of attention. There’s no need to avoid that!” Zhuang Sen said.

Long Gan nodded in agreement. “The attention usually comes from the envious ones. There’s no need to be bothered by them. You should always display your true capability. Not only is it a way to fend off unnecessary battles, but it’s also a sign of respect to your rivals!”

Long Gan would not let it go easily until Qin Feng had revealed his rank. He could not accept losing to a complete stranger that came out of nowhere.

Both Long Gan and Zhuang Sen were guessing that Qin Feng must have used some special trick to win the race. For instance, he might own a G.o.d Weapon or overpowering runic equipment.

However, it was not like Long Gan and Zhuang Sen were lacking such items. They had carried a fair share of great items with them in this tournament.
