Ye Zhongming's various miraculous feats were certainly being noted by others, especially from within the Star-Eye Clan.
A person who had just arrived from their home planet, no matter how outstanding their talents were, could not possibly achieve the things Ye Zhongming had done.
Especially after Ye Zhongming returned from the Library Palace, he exuded an air of soaring ambition, easily leading others to guess that he had gained a lot from his time there.
Of course, those who could feel this strongly were the high-ranking members of the Star-Eye Clan, and they would never betray Ye Zhongming, which is why King of Cloud Summit did not deliberately conceal anything while he was working.
Others would keep such doubts to themselves; everyone had their own blessings. The fact that Ye Zhongming learned so much from the Library Palace was simply a testament to his abilities.
Only someone close like Pao Bai would dare to ask.
“When we get back, you should also go check out the Library Palace. Maybe you’ll gain even more than I did,” Ye Zhongming said with a smile.
Pao Bai snorted in response, “That’s for sure! I’m already feeling a bit restless about that place.”
The two joked as they were called to the command center through their communication earpieces. They exchanged surprised glances because this command center was not from the Star-Eye Clan but from the Alliance of Small Races.
“What happened?”
In the past two days, Ye Zhongming had been busy visiting the Su Clan and setting up formations at home, so he could only ask Pao Bai as they walked.
“I don’t know,” Pao Bai answered honestly.
Before long, the two arrived at the command center of the Alliance of Small Races, where two lords of the Star-Eye Clan and Commander Cheng Liujin were already present.
“Zhongming, Pao Bai!”
No matter if they were acquainted or not, everyone from the Alliance of Small Races greeted the two.
Now everyone knew that Ye Zhongming had a close relationship with the Su Clan, and many even understood that the reason the Star-Eye Clan stood out among the small races was largely due to him, so no one dared to neglect him.
As for Pao Bai, they were completely… wary of those they couldn’t defeat, and tired of those they could.
Pao Bai’s path to fame started from Dark Strip City. The small races he initially chose to make a name for himself were these very people. Thus, everyone had mixed feelings about him, but as long as there was no hatred, that was enough. In fact, many of their clansmen later admired Pao Bai and attempted to follow his path…
Currently, the small race alliance in Dark Strip City was led by the Star-Eye Clan. Although their encampments were not together this time, they still regarded the two lords of the Star-Eye Clan with respect, seating them at the forefront. When they saw Ye Zhongming enter, they all called him over.
In a universe ruled by power, there was no such thing as politeness.
Ye Zhongming walked over and sat down.
“The reason we gathered you all here is that everyone is uncertain about this hunting operation and wants to hear our thoughts firsthand,” Lord Yan said as he addressed Ye Zhongming after noticing him seated.
Our thoughts? Ye Zhongming did not quite understand what these small races meant.
“Ah, Lord Yan is just giving us face; I’ll speak bluntly,” a leader of a small race interjected. “It’s like this: among us, there are not many who have participated in the planet hunting grounds; even those who have, it was so many years ago. Recently, there are even fewer who have returned alive. No one has a clear concept of the current situation or the pros and cons of choosing this place.”
The speaker was someone Ye Zhongming knew, the leader of the Ouf Clan, known for their bravery among the few warriors from Dark Strip City. The weapons of these warriors were often large, such as giant clubs, greatswords, giant axes, and hammers; they favored any weapon that was big.
Their racial talent was impressive, allowing them to enter a frenzy state that temporarily enhanced their combat power, with very few side effects—mostly just energy consumption.
