To these young prodigies, this was a form of belittlement they couldn't accept.
Talented individuals were inherently proud, always believing themselves to be superior to others, unless someone could prove otherwise with facts, truly surpassing them.
These young grandmasters had not seen Wang Teng's proficiency in his secondary profession, so naturally, they couldn't be so impressed by him.
Moreover, they had been waiting here for half a day just to welcome Wang Teng. As grandmasters themselves, they didn't believe they were inferior to anyone. Why should they bother welcoming a mere grandmaster?
Grandmaster Hua Yuan and the others were astute individuals who saw through this. They didn't say much because competition was a good thing. Although they didn't believe these prodigies could compare to Wang Teng, the presence of a grandmaster like Wang Teng could ignite the fighting spirit and competitiveness in these prodigies. What better outcome could they hope for?
