Monarch Of Time

Chapter 940 Wei Peng (2)

The Dao Kings in the vicinity appeared taken aback by Wei Peng's proactiveness to befriend the newcomer, some even throwing him inquisitive looks in the process.

It wasn't that Wei Peng wasn't a sociable, friendly person by nature, but as the second young master of the Wei family, the peers that could enter his eyes were far and few between. Why would he lower himself by making friends with someone of unknown background?

However, those Dao Kings who could read between the lines had different expressions on their faces, some even throwing envious looks at the yellow-robed young master of the Wei family.

'Heh, it seems that those guys have already come to the same conclusion as I did. Too bad that you guys were all too slow.' With the easy-going smile on his face becoming more and more pronounced, Wei Peng began to introduce the surrounding Dao Kings to Shun Long one by one

''Brother Shun, this is the seventh young master of the ancient Xu family, Xu Tai, and he is a peak sixth-stage body refiner.'' Wei Peng's voice wasn't subdued in the slightest, reverberating throughout the empty hall as he pointed at a tall young man sitting at the very corner of the hall.

That man was dressed in a tattered, half-sleeved shirt that exposed his muscular, toned body for everyone to see, and had ink-like dark skin that was covered in mysterious symbols. His gaze was particularly sharp as he stared at the grinning Wei Peng, as if angered that the handsome yellow-robed youth was giving his secrets away to an outsider.

However, Wei Peng didn't seem to have noticed the piercing gaze that was trying to burn a hole in his face, as he continued with the same, leisurely attitude as before

''Brother Shun, the Xu family is known for their body refinement cultivation techniques, and this guy is considered somewhat extraordinary even among their main family members. Aside from his second brother, he is said to have the most potential in their entire family. Becoming a peak eighth-stage body refiner in the future is practically guaranteed, and he even has a decent chance to reach the ninth stage!''

Xu Tai puffed out his chest after hearing Wei Peng's unexpected compliment before he turned around to look at the rest of the Dao Kings in the hall, as if waiting to see their reactions.

However, everyone here was already familiar with Xu Tai's background, and pretty much knew all of his strengths and weaknesses. Although Wei Peng wasn't wrong in what he said, which one among these Dao Kings were any worse? They were all the pride of their families and sects.

Following Xu Tai's introduction, Wei Peng pointed at a beautiful young woman in a red dress, with the pattern of a sun embroidered on its back, and continued

''Brother Shun, that girl is the fourth young lady of the Ming family, Ming Guo. Although her looks may just be ordinary, don't let that fool you, she is actually extremely skilled in soul attacks. In fact, I'd say she is the most dangerous person in this entire hall. Her 'Sun-burning imprint' can even control-''

''Wei Peng! Are you really going to give all my secrets away to an outsider? You should learn when to draw the line and when to keep going... And whose looks did you just call ordinary, you ugly bastard??''

The young woman in the red dress stood up and pointed at Wei Peng with a trembling finger, clearly furious by that last part of his description.

However, Wei Peng merely waved his hand dismissively before he continued

''Ming Guo, stop being so stingy. Other than brother Shun, who else in this hall doesn't know about your Ming family's 'Sun-burning imprint'? I know that you don't even consider that your trump card, so quit with your acting.''

The young woman in the red dress seemed like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she merely chose to stay silent. Her gaze however was just as cold as she stared at the cheerful Wei Peng who walked further away, clearly ready to introduce another person to Shun Long.

Shun Long didn't decline Wei Peng's friendly gestures and allowed the smiling young man to drag him around the hall, introducing one Dao King after the other to him.

Of course, Shun Long already knew about most of these people even though he hadn't met them before, all thanks to the jades he had purchased from the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce'. After all, every single one of these geniuses around him were among the 100 strongest Dao Kings of the central region, some even ranking as high as the top 20.

Despite that, Wei Peng's introduction was even more detailed than what was contained within those jades. It also allowed Shun Long to get a better idea of the hierarchy of power in the core parts of the central region.

Apparently, the 3 most influential factions were the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce', the Tianxuan dynasty, and the eight ancient families.

However, although the eight families were lauded for being equal in power, Wei Peng revealed that things weren't as simple behind the scenes.

The Huang family was apparently the strongest, followed by the Wei family, the Xu, and the Bai. Then came the ancient Chen family, the Ming family, the He, and finally the Xing.

Of course, the difference between the power of these ancient families wasn't significant, but Wei Peng still explained those matters in great detail. As for the Tianxuan dynasty and the 'White Tiger chamber of commerce', the young master of the Wei family didn't go into that much detail about them and just mentioned a few things about their strongest geniuses.

A few moments later, Wei Peng had already finished introducing everyone in the hall to Shun Long, before suddenly taking a seat on the cold marble floor and pointing at the large silver door in the depths of the hall.

''Brother Shun, do you know what the fourth trial of this tower is about?''
