Chapter 200: Challenging Top 100
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Teng dragged his tired body as he left Dan Taixuan's house. He seemed spoiled.
Whenever he thought of the fact that he would need to seek a living under the hands of Dan Taixuan, he immediately felt his future turning gray.
He turned his head and looked back. At the moment, Dan Taixuan's house looked like a demon cave. It was immersed in the dark.
Wang Teng followed Dan Taixuan's advice and came to the second floor of the logistics department.
It was already late, but there was still staff working.
Wang Teng expressed his intention.
"Black Jade cream!"
The staff member was a middle-aged man. He raised his head in astonishment, but he didn't say much. He just said directly, "One for 100 school credits. You can use it for five days."
"What?" Wang Teng felt hopeless once again when he heard the price. "Why is it so expensive?"
"No, it's not expensive. It's good value for money. I'm not cheating you," the middle-aged man said expressionlessly.
…Wang Teng highly suspected that Dan Taixuan was helping the logistics department in their sales. If not, why would she fool him into buying this Black Jade cream?
100 school credits for one!
Why don't you rob me!
You even say that it's not expensive. Not expensive your head…
"I have seen many students like you. All of them wanted to exchange items, but once they heard the school credits, they couldn't bear to part with them. It's as if I am taking a piece of meat from their bodies. I feel like I'm forcing y'all to buy," the middle-aged shook his head and said.
Wang Teng was speechless. Talk is cheap. Look at your price. Who will be willing to buy?
But, he remembered his condition and the brutal training he had to undergo tomorrow night again. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Give me one!"
"That's right. You will be able to earn more school credits, so don't hug it too tightly. It's only meaningful once you spend it." The middle-aged man finally gave a smile.
"Hmph!"
Wang Teng took the Black Jade cream and turned around to leave.
He felt his heart scrunching up in pain!
When he accepted the challenges from the second-year students, he only earned 100 school credits every match after working so hard. However, this stupid Blade Jade cream actually required 100 school credits, and he could only use it a few times. The school credits he just collated had to be all used to fill this bottomless pit.
"Looks like I have to find other ways to earn school credits," Wang Teng touched his chin as he pondered aloud. "Anyway, since I need to challenge the top 100 students in school, I can't do it for nothing. This is tough labor. Can I do something about this?
"Speaking of it, it feels a little exciting to challenge the top 100 students in school. I wonder if they will gang up and beat me to death.
"Don't worry, don't worry, let me think about this carefully…"
Wang Teng pondered all the way back to his dormitory. When he entered his house, he noticed that the damaged living room had already been repaired.
Their efficiency was truly amazing!
Wang Teng exclaimed. He opened his bedroom door and walked in.
A black shadow pounced over immediately and cawed. It almost sounded a little pitiful.
Wang Teng slapped his head. "Oh my, I forgot about you."
People were coming to repair his room, so he had locked his bedroom when he left. He wasn't worried that anything would happen in school, but he was afraid that this little fellow would run away and get lost.
He didn't come back for a day. All he did was leave some star beast meat for it in the morning before he went out. It was obviously not enough for the little crow. It must be famished now.
"It's my fault, my fault!"
Wang Teng rubbed the little crow's head. He took out star beast meat and fed it.
The little crow immediately threw its bad mood away beyond the highest heaven when it saw food. Of course, it didn't know what the highest heaven was. It only cared about eating.
"Eat slowly. There will be enough for you." Wang Teng was afraid that the little guy would choke, but he was thinking too much. The little crow ate smoothly, one piece of meat per bite. Its throat moved like a machine and swallowed everything. He was worried for nothing.
After some time, the little crow was finally satisfied. It started sauntering around the room while wobbling left and right.
Wang Teng's jaw almost dropped. It grew a little too fast. It just hatched one day ago, yet it was able to walk already. Why are you so strong?
Unfortunately, it still hadn't grown its feathers.
Wang Teng didn't care about it and allowed it to do whatever it wanted. He took his clothes and the Black Jade cream and walked into the bathroom.
He took off his clothes and released the hot water. As the hot water flowed, he applied the Blade Jade cream all over his body.
The instructions on the Black Jade cream said that after applying it, you needed to soak in hot water. This would help with the absorption of the medicine.
Yes, it would be great if the water was scorching and steaming, the kind that could burn a layer of skin off your body.
Wang Teng was really vicious. He turned the temperature to the highest. After the bathtub was filled, he dipped his hand into the water with fire Force flowing around his palm.
The temperature of the hot water kept rising…
When Wang Teng felt that it was enough, he stuck his leg inside to test the water temperature. Suddenly, he felt that he might be seeking death. However, to hasten the absorption of the medicine, he forced himself and sat inside the bathtub while grimacing in pain.
"Gasp… I'm getting cooked!"
Steam started rising from his forehead.
The instant he entered the water, the scalding heat almost caused him to jump. However, very soon, a cool and icy feeling started spreading from the Black Jade cream. It engulfed his body and neutralized the heat from the hot water.
I see, so this is the effect of the Black Jade cream. I knew that it wouldn't be so crazy!
Half an hour later, the temperature of the warm water returned to normal. The Black Jade cream on Wang Teng's body also started dropping by itself. He walked out of the bathtub while feeling invigorated. The tiredness and pain on his body had very much subsided.
Once the medicinal property spreads throughout my body, I will be able to recover by tomorrow. Wang Teng pondered. He wiped his body, put on his pajamas, and dried his hair. Then, he went back to his bedroom and sat cross-legged on the bed. He started cultivating.
The flowing of Force would help with the conversion and absorption of the Black Jade cream.
I will cultivate the 'Raging Bull Skill' when I have the time. Before you learn martial arts, you need to get beaten first. Getting beaten is a technique too!
A silent night.
The next day, Wang Teng went to his lessons as per normal.
Tuesday was filled with classes. Thus, he didn't have the time to observe lessons from other faculties. He could only wait for the lesson to end to run there and pick up attributes.
No one noticed him because when he went over, the other students had already left.
Also, he was just passing by. He activated his spiritual power, and with a single thought, he swept all the bubbles and collected them. He didn't need to exert much force at all. It was simple and convenient.
In the afternoon, after he finished eating, Wang Teng made use of the afternoon resting time to go to the dormitory of the top 100 students.
First Section Room No. 100.
Although it was just the house at the end of the line, it was still the First Section. It represented the last student of the 100 most powerful students of Huanghai Military Academy.
Before school started, he had heard Senior Brother Zhu Tao saying that the top 100 students were at least 3-star soldier-level martial warriors, and all of them had gone through many missions. They were experienced in actual combat, and their ability couldn't be compared with ordinary students.
Wang Teng wasn't worried, though. With his current battle prowess, it might be a little tough for him to challenge the front-ranked students of the top 100, but he was still confident of beating the ones at the back.
His only worry was that the top 100 students were rarely in school. They had almost completed their modules, so normally, they were outside doing missions. If they were not in school, he wouldn't be able to complete the task Dan Taixuan gave him.
Would he suffer at night if he couldn't complete the task?
When he thought of the unpredictable lady that was like a devil, Wang Teng felt that he should temporarily keep a low profile and complete the task she assigned to him properly.
He walked forward and knocked on the door.
Fortunately, someone responded.
The person who walked out was a tall and young man. However, he looked a little… old. His face was covered with a mustache.
"Wang Teng?" He was a little surprised. He recognized Wang Teng.
"Yes, it's me. Erm, Senior Yue Qun, are you free tonight?" Wang Teng had already investigated this no. 100 senior.
Actually, it wasn't difficult. There was a ranking for the top 100 students. It was shown on the school's official website, so anyone could see it.
Of course, there was only a brief introduction of the students. The school wouldn't reveal all the details, but this was enough for Wang Teng.
"What do you want? I'm… not gay!" Yue Qun seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed, and he took a step back abruptly.
"Gay?!" Wang Teng immediately felt stunned. He froze on the spot.
WQNMLGB!!!
Wang Teng almost exploded in anger. But, he thought of today's motive and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down. He said, "Senior, I came to challenge you!"
"Challenge me!" Yue Qun's expression turned stern. He stared at Wang Teng with a frightening gaze. "Do you know what you're saying?"
"I'm sorry. I can't disobey my master!" Wang Teng replied.
"You have a master!" Yue Qun's expression changed. He continued, "As expected of a genius. You just came into university not long ago, yet you have already been spotted by an instructor. Or rather, could it be the president?"
Wang Teng didn't reply to him. Instead, he said, "7 pm, martial arts arena. Senior, you will come, right?"
"You seem really confident!" Yue Qun said.
"More or less. If not, I won't dare to come and look for you," Wang Teng smiled and said.
"Hahaha, alright. I will fight with you and let you see the power of the top 100." Yue Qun laughed.
"I will wait for you!"
Wang Teng turned around and left without saying anything more.
Yue Qun stood at the door and squinted his eyes slightly as he watched Wang Teng walking further away. Then, he dialed his instructor's number and told him about Wang Teng's challenge. At the same time, he wanted to know who Wang Teng's master was.
Unfortunately, his instructor didn't tell him the answer. He just said helplessly, "Use your full power to fight with him later!"
Yue Qun hung up the call. His instructor didn't tell him specifically, but he wasn't stupid. He guessed that Wang Teng's master must be a higher authority of the school.
"I'm so envious. A genius doesn't need to look for a master. The powerful people will lay their eyes on him, unlike me. I remember how much effort I used before I found my master," Yue Qun muttered to himself.
Temporarily, only a few people know that Wang Teng was challenging Yue Qun. It wasn't known to everyone like the challenges of the second-year students.
After 6 pm, Yue Qun came to the stadium. When he noticed that Wang Teng hadn't arrived, he went directly to the martial arts arena.
There, he stood in the middle of the martial arts arena and closed his eyes to take a rest.
At this moment, the students training in the stadium finally realized that something was going to happen.
"No. 100 Yue Qun?"
"He went up to the arena. Is he planning to have a duel with someone tonight?"
"F*k, this is a huge piece of news. The battle of no. 100. Hurry up and inform everyone to take a look."
It was publicly known that one could challenge the ranking of the top 100 students. The person who won would climb up the rank!
It was an honor.
Some people regained their senses and took out their phones to send messages to their class WeChat groups. Some went to tell their roommates.
In a short span of fewer than ten minutes, many people surged into the stadium.
When Wang Teng arrived, he was still talking on his phone. "I know, I know. I'll go back after the duel… Why will I slack off? I'm definitely not that kind of person… Alright, no problem. I will win. What if I can't win? You can do anything to me… That's right, I said it… I'm at the stadium. I can't talk anymore. Can I hang up?"
After receiving confirmation, Wang Teng hung up the call. He heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Oh my god, women are indeed troublesome. No matter how strong the lady is, she's no exception."
When Wang Teng saw Yue Qun standing in the arena from afar, he walked forward. Suddenly, a fatty pulled him back sneakily.
"Junior Wang Teng."
"You are?"
"I'm a third-year student from the command faculty, Zhuge Xiaoliang," the fatty said.
"Erm, your name is quite impressive!" Wang Teng said in astonishment.
"Of course. My actual name is Zhuge Changliang, but I admire Zhuge Liang very much, so I changed my name. I can't compare with Zhuge Liang's achievements now, but one day, I will definitely surpass him. At that time, I will change my name to Zhuge Daliang!" Zhuge Xiaoliang said.
"Pfft… you are a genius. You have my respect!" Wang Teng was speechless.
"You speak too highly of me."
"Do you have something to tell me since you stopped me?"
"Oh, it's like this. Yue Qun is going to have a duel with someone. I started a bet. I don't know who the challenger is, but it must be a third-year student. Hence, the odds are smaller, 3:1. Are you interested?" Zhuge Xiaoliang looked around him carefully before speaking to Wang Teng in a low voice.
…Wang Teng was flabbergasted. Mind you, the school was known for its strict discipline. This fatty was really bold to do such a thing.
"Fatty Zhuge, you are absolutely unrepentant. How many times have you been caught? Why do you still have the guts to open a betting stand?" A mocking voice suddenly came from the side.
"F*k, I was wondering who it is. You frightened me." Zhuge Xiaoliang patted his chest, which wobbled under the force. He continued angrily, "Yu Xuexin, please don't appear without a sound. If I get a heart attack, will you compensate me?"
"Fine, you are so bold and you have a big heart. Anyone can get frightened by me, but you won't." The person who came over said, "You want to play, right? I will put in 100 school credits. I bet on Yue Qun winning."
"Aren't you afraid of getting discovered? Why do you still want to play?" Zhuge Xiaoliang asked in astonishment.
"We know the instructors' methods. What's there to be afraid of?" Yu Xuexin said nonchalantly.
"Alright, since you dare to play, I will dare to take your credits." Zhuge Xiaoliang smiled and turned to look at Wang Teng. "What do you think? Junior Wang Teng, have you finished considering it?"
"I'm just a little curious. Why did you look for me?" Wang Teng asked.
"What's there to be curious about? Freshmen are easier to fool. Among all the freshmen, you have the most credits. If he doesn't fool you, who is he supposed to fool?" Yu Xuexin said.
Zhuge Xiaoliang: …
"Haha." Wang Teng smiled. "I will bet 100 school credits too. I bet on the challenger."
Zhuge Xiaoliang thought that he wouldn't participate, so he wasn't expecting to hear this. He raised his head abruptly. "Okay, you are very straightforward."
"You know that he's fooling you, so why are you still betting?" Yu Xuexin was shocked.
"I'm still able to fork out 100 school credits. I'm just having fun," Wang Teng replied.
"You are the first freshman I've seen who's so wealthy," Yu Xuexin smiled and replied.
Wang Teng didn't say much. He transferred 100 school credits to Zhuge Xiaoliang and squeezed into the crowd. He walked towards the arena.
When Yu Xuexin and Zhuge Xiaoliang saw him walking up the arena, they looked as though they had seen a ghost. After a long moment of silence, they spurted out one word, "F*k!"

Chapter 201: Battle For Cultivation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Wang Teng walked up the arena, the crowd went into an uproar.
"How can it be him!"
"Wang Teng dared to challenge the no. 100 Yue Qun? Who gave him the courage?"
"I admit that he's strong, but there's still a huge difference between him and the top 100. Is he getting a little arrogant?"
Yu Xuexin was enlightened. "No wonder he bet on the challenger. He's the one who challenged Yue Qun."
Then, he looked at Zhuge Xiaoliang beside him. "He knew that you were fooling him, but he used the opportunity to bet on himself. This fellow is a little sly!"
"It looks like he's very confident," Zhuge Xiaoliang touched his fat chin and said.
Yu Xuexin frowned and asked, "He has defeated many second-year students, but don't you think it's a little arrogant of him to challenge the top 100 now?"
Zhuge Xiaoliang said, "I believe that he should have the confidence. Do you think that he's stupid?"
Yu Xuexin shook his head quietly. Confidence was subjective. There was never a clear line between confidence and arrogance. The main party would find it difficult to decide if he was confident or arrogant sometimes.
Like most people, he believed that Wang Teng was arrogant. Overconfidence was arrogance.
Most of the people at the scene felt that Wang Teng was overestimating himself.
Zhuge Xiaoliang looked at the situation around him and laughed slyly. "It seems like no one thinks that Wang Teng will win. Haha, this is getting fun. Since the match hasn't started, I will pull more people in."
Yu Xuexin shook his head speechlessly when he saw Zhuge Xiaoliang running away. "This stupid fatty is really shameless. If he lets more and more people participate, it will attract the instructors' attention. This time, he probably can't earn anything again!"
In the arena.
Yue Qun noticed the commotion and opened his eyes. He looked at Wang Teng opposite him and smiled. "You're really popular. Unfortunately, no one seems to believe that you can win."
"It's alright. I'm just completing my master's homework. I don't need their recognition," Wang Teng said with a calm expression. He didn't care about other people's skepticism.
"Homework?" The corners of Yue Qun's lips twitched. He felt a flame of anger surging up to his heart uncontrollably. "Your words are a little infuriating!"
"Erm… Sorry!" Wang Teng finally realized that his words seemed to have stimulated Yue Qun.
"There's no need to apologize. Let's find out who's more powerful through our fists. Even if you consider me as your homework, you must have the ability to do it first," Yue Qun said coldly.
Wang Teng nodded. "Let's start."
Like before, the judges this time also came from the martial arts club. However, they were not Chen Su and Yang Lin. Wang Teng had seen these two people when he went to the newbie gathering the last time.
The two of them didn't waste any time. When they noticed that Wang Teng and Yue Qun were prepared, they shouted, "Start!"
The battle immediately started. There was no unnecessary testing or quarreling. They got right to it.
Boom!
Yue Qun stepped on the ground. A loud sound accompanied each of his steps. If this was an ordinary floor, it would have been destroyed by him.
He chose to attack face to face. Yellow Force congregated on his arms, and his entire body seemed to have grown taller. He looked like a giant.
When he was three meters away from Wang Teng, he stomped his feet on the ground and shot up. He pounced on Wang Teng in mid-air.
The astonishingly muscular arms were pressed together and smashed down forcefully like a hammer.
The expressions of the people below changed tremendously when they saw this terrifying attack. They were flabbergasted.
"Senior Yue Qun is really strong. As expected of the top 100!"
"Why isn't Wang Teng moving?"
"Hmph~ he's probably shocked by Senior Yue Qun's aura and forgot to dodge."
"Sigh, he shouldn't have challenged Yue Qun. He didn't have any chances of winning from the start."
1
When Yue Qun's fists smashed down, Wang Teng finally moved.
He wasn't frightened just now. Instead, he was feeling the aura of a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior.
Wang Teng had seen 3-star soldier-level martial warriors before. Lin Zhan and the other team members of the Tiger Warrior team were 3-star martial warriors. However, they were his comrades, so they wouldn't use their presence to suppress him.
Thus, Wang Teng had never personally experienced the full force power of a 3-star soldier level presence.
Now, it was different. There was anger in Yue Qun's heart, so he didn't hold back his force of presence. It surged out in an instant.
This aura might be a little powerful, but it seemed to… have no effect on him.
As compared to Dan Taixuan's presence, it paled in comparison. There was nothing to compare at all.
At this moment, Wang Teng raised his head abruptly, and ice Force congregated on his fists. He didn't move or dodge. Instead, he took the attack head-on.
Boom!
The four fists collided.
Yue Qun's expression changed slightly. He felt a bone-piercing chill entering his body, feeling as though it wanted to freeze his earth Force.
However, this was not enough to harm him.
"Not bad. No wonder you dared to challenge me!"
Yue Qun used the recoil force to land on the ground. He shook his arms to disperse the chill. Then, he charged towards Wang Teng again without stopping.
Wang Teng didn't say anything. His speed increased exponentially, and he turned into a series of lingering shadows as he flew towards Yue Qun.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of collisions was heard continuously.
Force surged around the arena and turned into a scary tornado. It circled the two people fighting on the stage.
"What a frightening attack!"
"Wang Teng managed to receive it!"
"In the past, some instructors said that Wang Teng's ability can be compared with 3-star soldier-level martial warriors. But it's just comparable. If he is to fight with a real 3-star soldier-level martial warrior, there is still a difference. How can Yue Qun lose to him?"
"Yue Qun hadn't displayed his full strength, right?"
Everyone was staring at them in bewilderment. There were looks of disbelief on their faces.
Some third and fourth-year students couldn't help but assume that Yue Qun hadn't unleashed his full power. If not, how could he only be on par with a freshman?
Only Yue Qun knew that he had already called forth all his energy. He didn't hold back at all.
This fellow is really weird!
The strength of his Force is weak. It is only at the 2-star soldier level, but he's actually able to continue fighting with me.
The longer he fought, the more depressed Yue Qun felt. His mentality almost collapsed. He was a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior, but he couldn't even handle a 2-star soldier-level martial warrior.
If he lost, he wouldn't be able to face anyone anymore.
When he thought of what would happen after he lost this challenge, Yue Qun's heart trembled. His expression turned hideous, and his attack became even more vicious.
But Wang Teng was still handling it with ease. He understood the intention of Dan Taixuan asking him to challenge the top 100 students in school.
Battle for cultivation!
He would fight with Dan Taixuan at night, but she was too strong. Although there were many benefits, there were also disadvantages.
Wang Teng thought of the scene when he fought with Dan Taixuan last night. He was getting trashed the entire time. She had an overwhelming victory.
Wang Teng wasn't able to put the things he learned into practice in front of her. He needed a buffer point.
The top 100 students were the buffer point Dan Taixuan gave Wang Teng.
Their ability was on par with Wang Teng, so when they had duels, Wang Teng had ample time and space to release his potential. He was able to put all the things he learned from Dan Taixuan into practice. Wang Teng used the duels to digest the knowledge and let it become a part of him.

Chapter 202: Let Me Make Some Plans
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A smile appeared at the edge of Wang Teng's lips when he understood Dan Taixuan's intention.
Dan Taixuan's attacking method flashed across his mind. Every attack was lethal and aimed at vital points. Her each stroke was extremely simple with no unnecessary moves.
Wang Teng followed her example and executed all her moves in his battle with Yue Qun.
Yue Qun, who was opposite him, could feel a sudden change in Wang Teng's attacking method. His move got more tricky and lethal. They were extremely dangerous.
At first, Wang Teng was not familiar with this kind of attack, so Yue Qun could block them easily. However, as the battle progressed, Wang Teng's attacking speed got faster and faster.
The changes in the moves became smoother too. For instance, during the round of attack that just passed, he was aiming at his eyes a second ago, but at the next instant, he turned and attacked his temples.
Unpredictable!
It was really unpredictable!
Cold sweat started oozing on Yue Qun's forehead. Gradually, he was unable to handle the attacks anymore. At the same time, he noticed something infuriating.
"Bastard, you are using me as your training partner." Yue Qun was furious. He was so angry that his face turned red.
"Erm… I got discovered!" Wang Teng was stunned. He felt a little guilty in his heart.
Yue Qun glared at him. His Force surged furiously and congregated into a lion's head on his fist. A gale blew, and one could faintly hear the angry roar of a lion.
"Raging Lion Violent Fist!"
Wang Teng's gaze froze!
This was Yue Qun's famous battle technique!
When they saw this scene, the people below started exclaiming in surprise too.
"It's here, it's here. Yue Qun's Raging Lion Violent Fist is here!"
"The dark-level high-class battle technique, Raging Lion Violent Fist!"
"This time, Wang Teng is definitely going to lose!"
The relevant introduction of the Raging Lion Violent Fist appeared in Wang Teng's mind. This battle technique used a person's emotion as the guide to unleashing Force to its greatest potential. Force would congregate at one spot and turn into a lion's head. When you released the attack in a state of anger, the power would be astonishing!
Thus, the angrier you were, the more powerful the attack would be!
Yue Qun had mastered the Raging Lion Violent Fist. By right, with his mentality and Wang Teng's doings, he wouldn't be so angry during normal times. However, to execute his Raging Lion Violent Fist, he exaggerated his emotions and wanted to unleash his strongest attack.
He didn't want to lose this battle!
Roar!
The angry roar echoed around the stadium. Yue Qun released his fist, and the huge lion's head shot towards Wang Teng. The powerful gale blew Wang Teng's hair up.
Clang!
The sound of a weapon being unsheathed was heard!
A fiery red sword glow swept through the air. It was exceptionally glaring!
The lion's head… was executed!
Yue Qun felt as though he was electrocuted. His entire body shuddered, and his chest cracked. A sword wound had appeared there as fresh blood spurted out.
He slowly lowered his head. His anger had already disappeared. Only shock was left in its place.
He remained silent for a few seconds. Then, Yue Qun sighed dejectedly and said, "I lost."
Wang Teng looked at him, not knowing what to say.
"The top 100 is really hard to get in. I had to persevere hard to make sure that I don't get defeated by anyone. I didn't expect to lose to you today," Yue Qun said bitterly. "However, I don't feel wronged losing to you."
He glanced at Wang Teng meaningfully before walking down the arena.
The entire place was dead silent as they seemed to be unable to accept this fact. They had lost their ability to speak.
When Yue Qun walked down the arena, everyone couldn't help but clear a path for him.
He allowed the blood to drip from his chest as he walked further and further away. His back view seemed lonely.
"Yue Qun lost!"
"This is…"
No one knew how to describe their feelings now. They were able to reluctantly accept the defeat of Zhuo Tai and the other second-years, but now, even the no. 100, Yue Qun, lost to Wang Teng. They found this hard to digest.
Wang Teng looked at Yue Qun's back view and thought to himself, Master, when you asked me to challenge them, did you consider the stimulation it would give them if I defeated all of them?
He shook his head and turned to look at the attribute bubbles that had dropped on the ground.
Enlightenment*8
Earth Force*20
Raging Lion Violent Fist*6
He picked them up.
Instantly, a few bubbles merged into Wang Teng's body and caused his enlightenment to increase. His earth Force also rose a little.
At the same time, a dark-level high-class battle technique appeared in his mind—Raging Lion Violent Fist!
This battle technique is quite interesting. Wang Teng thought to himself as he walked down the arena and left the stadium.
Everyone finally started discussing among themselves, kicking up a huge commotion.
"Wang Teng is a monster!"
"He could even beat a senior from the top 100. Is he really a freshman? Is he an older student in disguise?"
"We are both freshmen. Why is our difference so big?"
"Suddenly, I find it a little sorrowful to be in the same batch as him!"
Wang Teng got stopped by Zhuge Xiaoliang the moment he left the stadium.
The fatty was smiling from ear to ear. He pulled Wang Teng to an empty corner and said, "Hehehe, thanks to you, I earned a lot today. Come, I will transfer your 300 credits to you."
"How much did you earn tonight?" Wang Teng asked.
"Not much, not much. I only earned 1200 school credits," Zhuge Xiaoliang said proudly.
Wang Teng contemplated for some time. Then, he suddenly asked, "I will be challenging the other top 100 students in the future. Are you interested in a collaboration?"
"You're still planning to challenge?" Zhuge Xiaoliang was stunned.
He thought that after Wang Teng beat Yue Qun and entered the top 100, he would stop. However, when he thought about it, he realized that Wang Teng seemed to have other motives. He didn't just want to enter the top 100.
The fatty asked, "How confident are you?"
"I will challenge them one by one in the future. I will tell you beforehand how confident I am, so you can alter the odds when the time comes," Wang Teng's eyes lit up as he said.
Zhuge Xiaoliang thought for a moment. He immediately realized the business opportunity there, so he nodded and said, "Sure. It is decided then. However, how are we going to split?"
"50, 50," Wang Teng said.
"Alright, 50 50 it shall be!" Zhuge Xiaoliang looked as though he was making a loss. He gritted his teeth furiously and nodded.
"Tomorrow, I will challenge no. 99 Fang Ming," Wang Teng said.
"How confident are you?" Zhuge Xiaoliang's eyes lit up, and he asked instantly.
"100%!"
"Are you sure?" Zhuge Xiaoliang didn't believe him.
"I didn't execute half of my true ability when I fought with Yue Qun today," Wang Teng glanced at him and replied.
"Hahaha, okay. Let me do something about it. I promise that we will both earn a lot." Zhuge Xiaoliang was elated.
The two of them chatted for some time and gave evil smiles. Then, they left.

After bidding farewell to Zhuge Xiaoliang, Wang Teng came to Dan Taixuan's house.
"You're here. How do you feel tonight?" Dan Taixuan opened the door and led Wang Teng to the training room as she asked him with a smile. She seemed to know the result already.
"I don't feel anything. However, it did help me," Wang Teng replied.
"Very good. It looks like you understood my intention," Dan Taixuan nodded and replied.
The two of them arrived at the training room and stood opposite each other. Dan Taixuan raised her hand and hooked her fingers.
"Let me see how much you improve tonight!"
Half an hour later, Wang Teng laid on the floor and panted heavily.
The confidence that he had gained after beating Yue Qun just now was heavily impacted.
"My stupid disciple, don't be dejected. You still made some improvements. Continue to maintain it!" Dan Taixuan squatted beside him and said with a smile.

Chapter 203: Nickname Monster
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The top 100 in school was an honor. At the same time, they represented the most powerful students in the school.
The ranking was also posted on the official website. It was being watched by people all the time.
Many people eyed them with hostility. They wanted to snatch the ranking from them.
Yue Qun was correct. To maintain his position in the top 100, he had to bear great pressure all the time and didn't dare to slack.
Many people were eyeing the 100th position and wanted to pull him down.
Now that he lost to Wang Teng, while he felt dejected and depressed, he suddenly felt a sense of relief too.
He had put down a burden. It might not be a bad thing for him!
However, the next day, when people logged in to the school's official website and noticed the change in the ranking for the first time, a huge uproar was caused.
"How… is that possible?!"
Many people exclaimed uncontrollably when they saw the familiar and unfamiliar name right at the end of the ranking.
"Wang Teng!"
"Is he that Wang Teng?"
The next moment, the school's hotline got loaded with calls!
The staff of the school was irritated. They could only post an explanation on the official website.
First, there was nothing wrong with the ranking!
Second, the Wang Teng on the ranking was the freshman!
When they saw this explanation, many people turned silent. They remained quiet for a long time before lamenting with a complex expression, "He is a monster!"
This time, Wang Teng's name spread throughout the entire school.
Not long before, when he defeated many second-year students, his name had just spread among the freshmen and second-year students.
Not many students from the third and fourth years took notice of him.
No matter how strong Wang Teng was, he was just a freshman with greater potential. There was still a huge difference between him and them.
He needed time to grow.
But, now, Wang Teng rose to the top 100 in a single night and was already standing on the same level as the most powerful students in the school.
Who dared to look down on him anymore?
Early in the morning, when Wang Teng was walking in school, he noticed that the students who walked past him were all looking at him with strange expressions.
Achievement gained: 200% second glance rate!
Wang Teng touched his face and asked Hou Pingliang and his friends beside him, "Is there something on my face?"
"Hmph, don't you know what happened?" Hou Pingliang and his friends looked at him in disdain.
"Brother Teng, you've caused a sensation!" Song Shuhang exclaimed in shock.
"We discussed for some time and highly suspect that you… are a bug!" Lu Shu looked at Wang Teng with a sharp gaze.
Wang Teng was speechless.
Your guess is really accurate!
Unfortunately, I will never admit it…
Hou Pingliang and his friends had already heard the news of Wang Teng entering the top 100. They were astounded and had mixed emotions, but they also felt a sense of urgency. They promised themselves secretly that they would work hard to catch up with him.
…They mustn't be thrown too far behind!
The few of them joked and laughed as they went to their classroom. Wang Teng was surrounded immediately. Everyone came over to greet him whether or not they had interactions before.
"Brother Teng, Brother Teng, do you still need lackeys?"
"Brother Teng, can I be your girlfriend? I have a cute and sweet voice!"
"Move aside. Wang Teng, I know how to wash clothes and cook. I can warm your bed too. You can consider me…"
Mind you, Wang Teng was a little moved.
He didn't lack any lackeys.
But he lacked a girlfriend!
He lacked it very much!
But, which one should he choose?
1
The one with a cute and sweet voice seemed good, but this broad-chest beauty with a warming bed ability seemed good too.
Wang Teng was in a dilemma. However, his heart was filled with happiness. At this moment, he really wanted to sing a song.
I feel so high, I feel like my life has reached its peak~
I feel so high, I feel like my life has reached its peak~
Ring…
Just as he was giving free rein to his imagination and thinking of his beautiful future, the bell rang. The ladies left reluctantly.
Wang Teng was utterly stunned!
Hey, don't go away. I haven't replied to you yet.
Can you be a person with principles? You must end what you started…
The instructor was here. He glanced at Wang Teng, who was still standing on the spot, and said, "Wang Teng, sit down."
"Alright, teacher." Wang Teng sat down obediently and entered the sage mode. He listened to the lesson in all seriousness.
Most of the time, things just wouldn't work out the way you thought they would.
There was no need to be anxious!
In the afternoon, Wang Teng went to the First Section Dormitory and challenged the no. 99 student, Fang Ming.
Fang Ming was shocked. "You just fought with Yue Qun, but you're challenging me now. How are you so indifferent?"
"I don't have a choice. My master gave me some homework. My master wants me to fight with one of you every day," Wang Teng said shyly. At the same time, he complained about himself in his heart—Why are you pretending to be young? Disgusting!
"I see. I understand!" Fang Ming nodded. "Looks like your master has high expectations for you. I also want to witness your 'monstrous' ability."
"Monstrous!" The corners of Wang Teng's lips twitched. He said, "Alright. See you at 7 pm in the martial arts arena!"
"Alright, see you!"
In the afternoon, the news that Wang Teng was challenging Fang Ming spread like wildfire. Before the evening came, almost all the people who should know about the battle knew about it.
It felt as if a storm was brewing.
There was no doubt that there was someone spreading the news.
As expected, after his lesson, Wang Teng received Fatty Zhuge's call. He heard a peal of loud laughter from the other end. "Hahaha, what do you think? Is the scene big enough for you? If you think that it isn't enough, I can add more fuel to the fire!"
Wang Teng was speechless. He asked, "How many people are there now?"
"Hehe, more than 80. They are all old customers. It's safe," Fatty Zhuge lowered his voice and said proudly.
"Anyway, what will happen if you get caught by the teachers?" Wang Teng asked curiously.
"What else can happen? The school credits will get confiscated, and I will get punished,' Fatty Zhuge pouted and replied.
"Then be careful. Know when to stop. Don't get overboard," Wang Teng couldn't help but remind him.
"I know, I know. I'm very experienced in this matter. You just need to focus on the battle tonight. Once you win, we will be rich!" Fatty Zhuge said.
Wang Teng hung up the call and shook his head uncontrollably. This fatty had a lot of connections. He wasn't a simple person.
But, this was good too. With him around, Wang Teng didn't need to act personally. He could pass the entire operation to the fatty. All he had to do was to wait and collect the money.
In a blink of an eye, it was almost 7 pm.
Wang Teng, Hou Pingliang, and his friends came to the stadium. When they saw the commotion inside, they were shocked.
"So many people!"
The entire stadium, if you looked from afar, was filled with people. Besides humans, there was nothing else.
Once Wang Teng walked onto the arena, at the judge's command, the two of them started fighting.
Half an hour later, Wang Teng won. Everyone was flabbergasted.
"Thank you!"
"You are very strong. No wonder Yue Qun lost to you." Fang Ming smiled naturally and turned around to leave.
For the next few days, Wang Teng continued challenging the top 100 students. He challenged one a day and won all of them. His ranking kept increasing.
Actually, he didn't care about the ranking. What made him really happy was that his ability was increasing at a visible speed.
Of course, the school credits were flowing in continuously too!
He and Fatty Zhuge earned a lot because of the fights.
At the same time, Wang Teng finally confirmed his status as a 'monster.'
As a freshman, he had defeated many top 100 students and remained undefeated. If he wasn't a monster, what was he?
Everyone was already numb. They had started accepting Wang Teng's incredible ability gradually.
Many people even wondered how far Wang Teng could go. Top 50? Or top 30?
No one knew for certain. After all, the further he went, the larger the difference in ability. Every ten ranks was an obstacle. It wasn't an easy task to overcome.
But, this didn't stop everyone from discussing happily.
Wang Teng didn't care about this, though. His life was extremely fulfilling every day. He went for lessons, picked up attributes, challenged his seniors, practiced… he did everything. His battle power grew by the day.
Very soon, it was the end of September. The school welcomed the national day holiday.
During the national day holiday, the school allowed its students to go home. Hence, once the afternoon lessons ended, the students started leaving the university.
It was a seven-day holiday. Many students who lived in other provinces were planning to go back too.
In an instant, the entire school was half-empty.
Wang Teng was also leaving. Before this, Lin Zhan had informed him to prepare to head to the Xingwu Continent.
They planned to go earlier, but for Wang Teng's sake, they had pushed it back until now.
Wang Teng was leaving his school, so the little crow had to follow him.
Since he was heading to the Xingwu Continent this time, he could get some star beast meat and store it for later. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about not having food to feed the little crow in the future.
During these few days, the little crow ate a lot. It also grew very quickly, just like its master.
The feathers on its body weren't as soft as they were when it just hatched from the egg. They felt like metal now.
Wang Teng did some tests before. The feathers were extremely hard and sharp.
However, this little fellow still didn't know how to fly.
He brought the little crow back to his house.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei were astonished when they saw Wang Shengguo bringing an ugly crow home.
"Son, why are you raising a crow?" Li Xiumei asked.
"That's right. Of all the things you can raise, why did you choose a crow?" Wang Shengguo couldn't understand either.
"This is a star beast," Wang Teng said.
"Star beast!" The two of them got shocked instantly.
They knew that the star beasts were hard to tame. They must be raised from birth in order to let them recognize their master.
However, star beast cubs were extremely rare. It was lucky enough to find one, much less care about the species.
"No wonder." Wang Shengguo understood now. He sized up the little crow curiously. "This is a star beast? I can't see any difference."
"You're a normal person. What can you see?" Li Xiumei retorted.
Wang Teng laughed. He said, "Dad, don't judge it by its ordinary appearance. Its beak and claws are powerful weapons. Even if a martial warrior gets pecked or scratched by it, he will get hurt. Its feathers are hard and durable too. Normal weapons won't be able to harm it."
"Tsk, tsk, so incredible!" Wang Shengguo was shocked.
"This is nothing. It's still young. After it grows up, it might possess stronger abilities. That is when it will turn incredible," Wang Teng replied.
"In that case, you must raise it properly," Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei immediately threw away their discrimination towards the little crow and said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry. I know what to do," Wang Teng smiled and said.
Doudou watched them chat from the side. She didn't interrupt them. She looked at the little crow curiously with her big and round eyes. After they finished speaking, she asked, "Brother Teng, can I touch the big crow?"
"Of course." Wang Teng smiled gently and patted the little crow's head. He passed it over.
The little crow seemed to understand Wang Teng's intention. It looked at him unhappily and then landed in front of Doudou. It cawed at her a couple of times.

Chapter 204: The Direction Of Development Of The Wang Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Teng came home, so Li Xiumei cooked a table of dishes again.
Actually, it hadn't been long since he came home the last time. But, before Wang Teng went to university, he never left home for such a long time. Hence, to Li Xiumei, even if it was just a week, she found it very long.
The family of four finished their dinner and sat in the living room to chat casually.
Doudou didn't even watch her favorite cartoon. She was playing happily with the little crow.
"A few days ago, Doudou's relatives came." Li Xiumei suddenly brought up this topic.
"Oh!" Wang Teng asked curiously, "What did they say?"
"They want to take Doudou back." Li Xiumei shook her head speechlessly as she recalled something unhappy.
Wang Teng knew that this would happen. "What are your thoughts?"
"Doudou doesn't want to go back with them, and we don't want this child to land in the hands of those unscrupulous people either," Li Xiumei replied.
"Wang Fugui and his relatives are horrible people," Wang Shengguo interrupted and said.
"It looks like I have an additional younger sister now." Wang Teng smiled. Then, he asked, "Do you need me to act?"
"You are looking down on your father. Those people are just good-for-nothings. If I can't even handle them, my years of experience would have gone to waste," Wang Shengguo said.
"Look at how proud you are." Li Xiumei rolled her eyes at him. She continued, "In the past, I heard Doudou's mother saying that Wang Fugui's relatives are all ignorant and incompetent. However, they are close with the mafia. You must be careful of them playing tricks behind your back."
"You reminded me in time. I need to be careful of them," Wang Shengguo frowned and said.
"You are staying in Deer Garden now, so they won't dare to create trouble here. If they want to harm you, they will do it outside. At that time, I will take care of it," Wang Teng said.
Wang Shengguo didn't say anything. He knew that if Wang Teng went to settle these things, the result would be better. The status of martial warriors wasn't a joke.
Thinking of this, Wang Shengguo felt relieved and unwilling. The feeling of getting surpassed by his son wasn't good.
2
"Doudou, come!" Wang Teng called Doudou, who was playing happily with the little crow in the living room.
"What's the matter, Brother Wang Teng?" Doudou ran over. There was perspiration on her forehead.
Wang Teng helped her wipe her sweat. Then, he smiled and said, "I will be your brother from now on, okay?"
"Aren't you my brother already?" Doudou tilted her head and asked.
"It's different. In the future, you can call me brother directly. You don't have to call my name," Wang Teng replied.
"If I don't need to call your name, you will be my true brother, right?" Doudou thought for a moment and asked.
Wang Teng looked at her big black eyes and said, "That's right. Doudou is so smart. Brother Wang Teng will be your real brother. I will help you beat the bad people away. What do you think?"
Doudou looked at Wang Teng seriously. She then gave a wide smile, and a faint dimple appeared on her round face.
She pushed her head into Wang Teng's chest and hugged him tightly.
"Okay, brother!"
Li Xiumei and Wang Shengguo smiled uncontrollably.
"This child has an affinity with Little Teng," Li Xiumei said.
Wang Shengguo exclaimed, "You're right. I didn't know that our son had this side."
From this moment onwards, Doudou officially became a member of the Wang family. Doudou seemed to feel a slight change too. She was smiling a lot more now.
Wang Teng put down Doudou and let her play on her own. He started chatting with Wang Shengguo while Li Xiumei peeled apples beside them.
"Son, do you think our company has a chance to enter the martial warriors' industry?" Wang Shengguo hesitated for a moment before asking.
Wang Shengguo was slightly surprised. He glanced at Wang Shengguo.
2
His father's ambition wasn't small!
But he was right. He was at his prime age. You couldn't let him stay at home and be unemployed, right?
Also, he had always been ambitious. In the past, before Wang Teng became a martial warrior, he had already thought of expanding his own company. But, he lacked an appropriate chance, so it was hard for him to break through.
Now that Wang Teng had become a martial warrior, he started to get restless again.
Wang Teng pondered for a moment before smiling. "Dad, there will be chances naturally…"
"Really!" Wang Shengguo's eyes lit up. He immediately got excited.
"Why are you so anxious? Can you let our son finish his sentence?" Li Xiumei rolled her eyes at him and passed a peeled apple over.
Wang Shengguo chuckled. He thought that the apple was for him and wanted to take it. However, Li Xiumei slapped his hand away mercilessly.
"Move, this is for our son. There's none for you."
1
Wang Teng burst out laughing. He took the apple and ate it under Wang Shengguo's bitter gaze.
In this martial warriors' era, due to the nourishment of the Force, changes had also started to occur to the different fruits on Earth. Some became plumper and sweeter, while others couldn't be eaten anymore.
Fortunately, apples were still edible, and they were more delicious than before. If this variety existed in his past life, the other types of apples wouldn't have any market at all.
"Son, what chance were you referring to just now?" Wang Shengguo couldn't control his curiosity.
"Dan medicine, weapons, and even rune items…" Wang Teng didn't hide anything.
The country wouldn't allow ordinary merchants to sell these items. However, Wang Teng recognized Dan Taixuan as his master. This background was definitely enough.
It wouldn't be a problem if he asked her to be the mediator and then got some official credentials.
As for the supply of goods, he had recently started learning alchemy and smithery and had been making incredible progress. He believed that not long after, he would be able to start making them on his own.
He couldn't make high-class dan and weapons but could start making lower-grade items first before expanding slowly. Then, they would grow their business.
By then, Wang Teng would have enough ability to support the progress and development of the Wang family. He wouldn't need other people's help anymore.
Also, as the company expanded, the Wang family could hire more alchemists and blacksmiths. Then, he would be able to wash his hands clean…
Wang Teng and Wang Shengguo chatted for a long time.
The things he revealed made Wang Shengguo extremely excited. Even with his composure, he felt a little restless. He wanted to get up immediately and start moving.
He didn't expect Wang Teng to have so many connections. He had a hand in alchemy, weapons, and rune items. The Wang family was going to soar!
"There's no need to hurry. After I get the license, you can start working on it," Wang Teng said to calm his father down. He found it funny.
"Okay, okay, I'm not anxious, I'm not anxious," Wang Shengguo said happily.
"Also, I feel that we should do it one at a time. Dan and weapons can make a lot of money. If we do both at the same time, it's very easy for others to get jealous. In the entire country, the piece of cake is only this big. However, many people are eyeing the cake. They are the real giants. If we attract their attention, I'm afraid that… we will be doomed eternally.
"All in all, if you want to start a company in this martial warriors' era, you need to have the ability. If my ability is not enough, I will just be paving the way for others," Wang Teng said.
Wang Shengguo's back was covered with cold sweat when he heard what Wang Teng said. He calmed down and said with a bitter smile, "You're right. I'm older than you, but I'm not as thoughtful as you."
"Of course, I'm referring to when we become big. At the start, those giants won't take notice of a small company like us," Wang Teng smiled and consoled him.
"Seriously!" Wang Shengguo immediately felt that he was tricked. This fellow knows how to play the game really well~

Chapter 205: There's A Little Crow Called Little White
Wang Shengguo never expected that he would get tricked by his son one day. For a second, his expression was fascinating.
Little brat, how afraid are you that I will get blinded by interest?
Although he knew that Wang Teng had good intentions, the feeling was still… not good!
Forget it, for the development of the company.
I will bear with it!
Wang Shengguo shook his head helplessly. He continued discussing with Wang Teng for a long time.
At 8 pm, Li Xiumei brought Doudou to bathe.
Doudou passed the little crow to Wang Teng and asked, "Brother, does this big crow have a name?"
"Big crow?" Wang Teng laughed. He said, "It is just a little crow. It was just born not long ago. I still haven't given it a name."
"It was just born? Why is it so big then?" Doudou waved her hands to show the little crow's size as she asked curiously.
"Because its parents are as big as an airplane. Hence, it's already very big when it's born," Wang Teng explained. When he noticed that Doudou still wanted to ask, he said hurriedly, "Doudou, do you want to give it a name?"
"Okay, okay." Doudou was elated. She clapped her little hands and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's call it… Little White. What do you think?"
"Little, Little White!" Wang Teng was dumbfounded.
You name this black crow Little White?
"That's right. It's so black. I call it Little White because I hope that it can become whiter," Doudou said earnestly.
Pfft, this reason was very good!
Wang Teng couldn't help but give Doudou a thumbs up. "Let's call it Little White then."
The little crow cawed. It seemed to be showing his displeasure. However, Doudou and Wang Teng had never thought of asking for its opinion.
Rejection invalid!
"It's decided then." Doudou followed Li Xiumei up the stairs to bathe happily.
"Little White, good name." Wang Teng touched his chin and contemplated for some time. He honestly felt that it was not bad.
The meaning was good!
"Caw!"
The little crow ran over and pecked Wang Teng's hand to show its unhappiness.
"Go away."
Wang Teng hurriedly dodged. If he really got pecked when he wasn't aware, it would be painful.
The next day.
At 8 am, Wang Teng finished breakfast with his family and left his house. He drove towards the Jixin Martial House.
Today, he would be meeting Lin Zhan and his team members to head to the Xingwu Continent.
He arrived at the Jixin Martial House and parked his car. Wang Teng was dressed in full combat attire. He looked handsome as he walked to the martial warriors' lobby.
He entered the lobby and scanned his surroundings. He saw Lin Zhan and his teammates instantly.
But, Wang Teng saw two people talking with Lin Zhan and his teammates.
"Leader Lin, I know that a member of your team just left. My young master sincerely wants to join your team. Why are you rejecting him?" the middle-aged man of the two men said.
"I'm sorry. We already have another team member," Lin Zhan said.
The middle-aged man said, "I know, I know. It's the top scholar of the martial arts exam, right? However, I have to say something that might not be pleasant to hear. He's just a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. He will only drag your team down. On the other hand, my young master is already a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. He's on par with your team. I feel that my young master is undoubtedly more suitable."
When he heard this, the young man beside him gave an arrogant expression uncontrollably. He said, "Leader Lin, I know that you think highly of Wang Teng's potential. But, from what I see, even if he's the top scholar of the martial arts exam, it's nothing special. There's a top scholar every year, but how many of them became outstanding?"
"You don't have to speak anymore. Our team will not abandon any of our teammates," Lin Zhan shook his head and replied.
"You…" Duan Jinzhi felt extremely embarrassed when he got rejected by Lin Zhan again and again. His life had always been smooth, so he was exceptionally infuriated.
He only pestered them endlessly to let him join the Tiger Warrior team because this team stood out among all the other low-rank martial warrior teams. Also, the leader, Lin Zhan, just achieved his breakthrough and became a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior. He felt that he would be able to accomplish great things in the future.
At first, he thought that with his background and ability, joining the Tiger Warrior team was a piece of cake.
But, he didn't expect them to hold onto Wang Teng so tightly and reject him in front of so many people. Lin Zhan had put him on the spot.
The middle-aged man stared at Leader Lin and said, "Leader Lin, my master is a higher authority in the Jixin Martial House. I don't think that it's a wise choice to reject my young master for Wang Teng, who has no background at all. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"
"Hmph, are you threatening me?" Lin Zhan smiled. "Let me tell you honestly, Principal Fu personally placed Wang Teng in our team. If you have any opinions, you can talk to him directly."
The middle-aged man's expression changed.
"In that case, forget it. Let's go." Duan Jinzhi's expression was ugly. He turned around and left.
Right at this moment, Wang Teng walked over and greeted Lin Zhan, "Leader Lin!"
"You're here!" Lin Zhan nodded.
"Hmph!" Duan Jinzhi snorted and glared at Wang Teng coldly. He didn't stay and continued walking.
"He is?" Wang Teng asked curiously. He had heard some parts of their conversation, but he didn't hear everything.
"Hmph, he's a second-generation martial artist. He wants us to kick you out of the team so that he can come in," Liu Yan sniggered.
"He looks like he has a powerful background," Wang Teng frowned and said.
"He does have some background, but this is Donghai. Principal Fu has the final say here. Their family isn't able to interfere in this matter," Lin Zhan said nonchalantly.
"I'm just afraid that he won't give up," Yan Jinming suddenly said.
"We will just be more careful in the future," Liu Yan said. "This fellow doesn't look like a good person. Will you feel at ease letting him into the team?"
"Of course not. If not, I would have persuaded the leader to let him in," Yan Jinming shrugged and replied.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about him anymore. Since everyone is here, let's go!"
Lin Zhan walked out of the lobby first.
They walked to the car park to take their cars. Then, they headed directly to the forbidden military ground where the dimensional rift was.
When they got into the car, Wang Teng opened his bag and let the little crow breathe some fresh air.
This time, he had decided to bring the little crow along when he went to the Xingwu Continent to let it experience the primary forest. That was a heaven for star beasts.
A star beast needed to be wild. Wang Teng was afraid that if he raised it in the city, it would become useless.
Lin Zhan and the other team members were amazed when they saw the little crow. "This is… a star beast?"
"That's right," Wang Teng nodded and replied. He didn't hide the truth from them.
"Good riddance, where did you get this star beast cub? It's a bird too," Lin Zhan said enviously.
"I was lucky," Wang Teng gave an off-handed answer. He didn't explain further. If he wanted to explain the origins of this little crow, many things would be implicated.
Lin Zhan and the others stopped probing when they noticed his reply. But, all of them expressed their jealousy. "If you raise this thing properly, it will be a huge support!"

Chapter 206: Spiritual Pet Contract
Wang Teng and his teammates drove to the forbidden military ground where the dimensional rift was.
Along the way, Lin Zhan, Liu Yan, and the Yan siblings showed a huge interest in the little crow. They had seen star beast cubs before, but this was the first time one had appeared in front of them at such a close distance.
Lin Zhan was driving, so he had no free hands. Liu Yan and the three of them wanted to tease the little crow, but it ignored them altogether. Not everyone received Doudou's treatment.
"This little fellow just hatched not long ago, so it might be a little afraid of strangers," Wang Teng touched the little crow's head and said.
The little crow who was arrogant in front of Liu Yan and the others was exceptionally obedient in front of Wang Teng. Liu and the others were green with envy.
"You're really lucky! Do you know how hard it is for a star beast to recognize its master?" Liu Yan sighed continuously.
"That's right. An adult star beast rarely recognizes a master. Cubs are hard to find, so it's difficult to find a star beast for a pet," Yan Jinming said sadly.
Wang Teng was puzzled. He asked, "You have been going to the Xingwu Continent for many years. Isn't it easy for you to get a star beast cub?"
"You don't know." Lin Zhan shook his head and interrupted their conversation. "We are able to catch normal star beast cubs if we want, but they have limited potential, like the earth armor pigs. They will remain at 1-star or 2-star no matter how we groom them. They are not suitable pets either. Tell me, what's the use of us raising them?"
Wang Teng was enlightened. Just like what Lin Zhan said, star beasts like the earth armor pig were commonly seen, so it wasn't difficult to catch them. However, besides having a thick hide and being able to block damage for its master, its abilities were almost negligible. Who would raise an earth armor pig as a pet?
The weakest among this team was at the 3-star soldier level. If they raised a weak star beast, it would be a waste of time and resources. The result would be negligible, and there was no purpose at all.
Also, every martial warrior had specializations. For instance, Liu Yan specialized in rune guns. As a long-distance fighter, the star beast she needed should specialize in speed or have a certain offensive ability so that it could cooperate with her or protect her during a battle.
All in all, beast pets were supports.
Thus, the pairing was crucial. It was inappropriate to raise just any star beast as a pet.
"There's a 'spiritual pet contract' in the Xingwu Continent. If you feel that this little crow is suitable, you can get a contract and bind yourselves together," Liu Yan suddenly reminded him.
"That's right. This little crow is reliant on you, so the binding should be smooth. Don't miss the best timing," Lin Zhan said.
"Spiritual pet contract?" Wang Teng was stunned. "There's such a thing in the Xingwu Continent?"
"Haha, there are many interesting things in the Xingwu Continent. However, we haven't studied all of them," Lin Zhan smiled and replied.
Wang Teng nodded. He thought of a question and asked, "Are spiritual pet contacts expensive?"
"It's about 100 million," Lin Zhan thought for a moment before saying casually.
Wang Teng: …
Brother, you don't feel it because you're not involved!
100 million! Can you don't say it so casually? Others might think that you're talking about 100RMB!
Wang Teng didn't know what to say anymore.
Half an hour later, they reached the military ground. They went through a series of inspections that lasted for ten minutes. Then, they went through the dimensional rift and entered the Xingwu Continent once again.
Space*0.2
Space*0.1
Space*0.1
Wang Teng used his spiritual power to pull the attributes over and picked up nine bubbles.
Some of these attribute bubbles had dropped when Lin Zhan and his teammates came out of the dimensional rift. Others were left by the people in front.
He picked up a total of 1.6 Space attributes.
He looked at his attributes panel.
Space: 9.2/10000
Wang Teng smiled bitterly. There was still a long journey ahead!
He wondered how long he would take to fill up his space attributes.
If he could, Wang Teng really wanted to squat here for a few days, but reality didn't allow him to.
Fortunately, this number of space attributes was enough for Wang Teng to use his space talent briefly. Although he could only move through space for a short distance, with the help of his spiritual power, this would be the lethal attack among the lethal attacks. Hahaha…
"Let's go." Lin Zhan's voice pulled Wang Teng back to reality.
They drove their car on the streets filled with an exotic aura. Since it was morning, the streets were crowded, and it was very lively.
Yong City was created by humans from Earth. As an important trading city, there were races from the Xingwu Continent here too.
"Every time I see the Earth people and the people from the Xingwu Continent interacting without any barriers in a single place, I find it hard to believe that these two factions are battling behind the scenes," Yan Jinyue lamented.
"My stupid sister, isn't this normal? Even on our Earth, when there isn't a conflict of interest, everything will seem peaceful on the surface. However, once you need to fight for your own benefits, no one will give in to another person. When they need to deal the lethal blow, they won't hesitate," Yan Jinming said.
"Peace is comparative," Lin Zhan said.
As they spoke, they reached the Yong City branch of the Jixin Martial House.
"This time, you have seven days of break, so I decided to take a short-term mission. We can kill star beasts and complete the mission at the same time, killing two birds with one stone," Lin Zhan said as he brought everyone into the main building of the martial house.
Their acquaintances greeted them with a smile.
This time, no one looked down on Wang Teng anymore. In the past, Wang Teng had headed to the Dark Mist Forest alone and came back unscathed. Not only that, but he had also killed a huge number of star beasts. Hence, everyone knew that this newbie wasn't a simple person.
Martial warriors respected the powerful people. If you were strong enough, you would naturally get recognized.
Lin Zhan and his team members didn't act arrogantly. They also greeted everyone. Even if some male martial warriors made some harmless jokes on Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue, the two ladies didn't take it to heart. They smiled and let it go.
Lin Zhan walked in front of a machine and opened the internal mission platform of the Jixin Martial House. He started scrolling the site with his team members.
After searching for a long time, Lin Zhan finally clicked on the description of a mission.
"Help the dwarves in Red Leaves Hill to clear the Gale Mantis horde that has been increasing in size. The mission reward will be based on the number of Gale Mantis killed. The more you kill, the higher the reward. (Note: It's suspected that there is a 3-star elite-class Gale Mantis King.)"
"What do you think of this mission?" Lin Zhan asked for everyone's opinion.
"Dwarves? The wine they make and the weapons they forge are good stuff. If we can befriend them, it won't be a bad thing. I have no objection," Yan Jinming smiled and replied.
"The Gale Mantis horde is hard to deal with, though," Yan Jinyue said.
"It's alright. I made a 4-star rune machine gun. Let me show you what a gunfire rain is. I'll take care of everything," Liu Yan said handsomely.
"Wang Teng, what do you think?" Lin Zhan turned to Wang Teng and asked.
"I have no objection. I'm also curious about the living environment of the dwarves."
This was what he said, but internally, he was thinking to himself, I can pick up some wind element attributes along the way.
Among all the Forces he possessed, only his wind Force was still stuck at 1-star. He needed to raise it as quickly as he could.
Wind element star beasts were rare. It looked like he was lucky today. This mission was killing a bunch of wind element Gale Mantis.
"Alright, we'll choose this then," Lin Zhan said.
They entered their martial warrior credentials into the machine and accepted the mission as a team.
Then, they went to the car park and drove a heavy armor vehicle out.
"We'll go to the 'Rune Treasure Pavilion' first to get Wang Teng a spiritual pet contract," Lin Zhan said.
No one had any objection.
Lin Zhan drove the car and took many turns in the city. Finally, they arrived at the most prosperous business district of Yong City and stopped outside a building with a strange design.
This building possessed the style of Earth buildings as well as the form of the Xingwu Continent's architecture. At first glance, it looked weird, but once you continued looking at it, you would feel that it had a different kind of beauty.
Sometimes, you must admire the unusual ideas of the architects.
"So this is the Rune Treasure Pavilion!"
Wang Teng looked at the classical, ancient, and unsophisticated building in front of him with curiosity.
"That's right. You might not know, but this Rune Treasure Pavilion was founded by Jack Ma from our Earth and the Ziqing Chamber of Commerce. This is their joint venture as well as the first special 'company' formed by both the Earth and the Xingwu Continent. It created a good role model for the cooperation between the two parties. Jack Ma is an incredible figure," Lin Zhan exclaimed.
Wang Teng's expression was strange. Jack Ma is doing business in the Xingwu Continent too?
They all walked into the Rune Treasure Pavilion while chatting. The interior was extravagant. The gold was so glaring that Wang Teng almost got blinded. A beautiful lady wearing a cheongsam welcomed them.
"Hello, I'm your guide, Xiao Ya. If you need anything, you can tell me." The beautiful lady gave a pretty smile as she spoke to them.
"I need a spiritual pet contract," Wang Teng opened his mouth and said.
The beauty immediately knew that the buyer was this young man in front of her. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be a martial warrior. She didn't dare to neglect him, so she said politely, "Alright. Please follow me to the second floor."
She led the way in front and brought Wang Teng and his teammates past the lobby. They walked up to the second floor through a flight of wooden stairs.
There were many sealed cabinets on the second floor, and all kinds of precious items were stored inside. There were Force skill scriptures, Force battle techniques, rune accessories, rune weapons, and many others. There was a huge array of items.
The beauty brought them to the reception area and poured some tea for them. Then, she said, "Please wait for a moment. I have already informed our general manager. He will be here immediately. Only he has the right to take out the item you want from the cabinet,"
A few moments later, a middle-aged man walked over with another beautiful lady in a cheongsam behind him carrying a tray.
"My surname is Li, and I'm the general manager of the Rune Treasure Pavilion. I'm delighted to meet you." He waved his hand and asked the beauty behind him to place the tray on the table. Then, he smiled and said, "This is the spiritual pet contract you want. You can check the item."
There was a scroll on the tray. Lin Zhan took a few looks at it before nodding at Wang Teng.
"How much is this spiritual pet contract?" Wang Teng asked.
"130 million!" General Manager Li smiled and replied.
"It's a little expensive," Wang Teng said.
"It's not expensive. This spiritual pet contract is made by the renowned runemaster of the Xingwu Continent, Master Ling Xu. Its quality is much higher than other normal rune masters," General Manager Li explained patiently.
"Master Ling Xu!" Lin Zhan and the others were shocked.
He hurriedly picked up the scroll and looked at it carefully, especially when he saw the unique sign behind the scroll at the bottom right-hand corner. He inspected it carefully with Liu Yan and the other three people before saying, "Indeed, this is Master Ling Xu's work. In that case, this price is reasonable."
"Of course. Our Rune Treasure Pavilion is a credible business. All our products have a fixed price. We won't change the price for no reason," General Manager Li said proudly.
"Alright, 130 million." Wang Teng was too lazy to bargain, so he nodded and agreed right away.
When he killed star beasts alone in the past, he had earned 580 million. He spent 270 million to buy the house in Deer Garden, so he was left with 310 million. It was enough.
Thus, he didn't back down and spent 130 million just like that.
You could do whatever you wanted when you had money!
General Manager Li's eyes lit up when he heard that Wang Teng wanted to purchase the contract. He took out a scanner behind him and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you paying by Force stones or card?"
"You can use Force stones to pay?" Wang Teng was slightly stunned.
"Force stones is the universal currency for the martial warriors in the Xingwu Continent. Now, most of the martial warriors here use Force stones to pay," Lin Zhan explained.
"I'll use my card. I don't have enough Force stones." Wang Teng took out his bank card and passed it to the other party.
A few minutes later, Wang Teng and his teammates walked out of the Rune Treasure Pavilion.
General Manager Li personally sent them to the door and smiled radiantly. "Please come again."
"Settled. Let's head to the Red Leaves Hill!" Lin Zhan drove the heavy armor vehicle and sped out of the giant gates of the Yong City.
Wang Teng sat at the back and started examining the spiritual pet contact.
"How do you use this?"
"Do you see the two runes on the scroll? There's a big one and a small one. You just need to drip your blood and the little crow's blood on the pictures," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng nodded. He took a drop of his blood and a drop of little crow's blood. Then, he dropped them on the two runes.
The runes blinked with a red light before floating in the air. The big rune landed on Wang Teng's forehead while the small one merged into the little crow's head.
In an instant, Wang Teng felt a strange connection form between him and the little crow. He could even faintly detect the little crow's thoughts and emotions.
This is so interesting!
He closed his eyes to inspect this feeling. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "This is?"
When he closed his eyes, his vision changed. He seemed to be seeing the outside world through the eyes of the little crow.
Does the spiritual pet contract have this ability? Wang Teng took a deep breath. He was confused.
He thought for a moment and asked casually, "Leader, do you know what effects there are after you activate this spiritual pet contract?"
"If you're talking about effects, you will probably be able to sense your spiritual pet's thoughts and emotions," Lin Zhan replied.
"Besides this, are there any other effects?" Wang Teng asked.
"Other effects? I haven't heard of other effects. Did you discover something?" Lin Zhan smiled and replied.
"Nope. I was just asking so that I don't have to fiddle around aimlessly," Wang Teng said.
"The spiritual pet contract allows you to build a connection with your spiritual pet. It's already impressive enough if you're able to feel the thoughts and emotions of your spiritual pet. There are no other effects," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng nodded in deep thought. He didn't ask any more questions.

Chapter 207: The Changes In The System And Gun Battle
The heavy armor vehicle left Yong City. It drove for more than ten kilometers on the main road before entering the wilderness.
The wilderness had weeds growing all over it. They were taller than one's knees, and there was no path for one to walk. It was filled with potholes and steep slopes. However, the heavy armor vehicle drove through the area as though it was moving on leveled ground with the help of its huge wheels that were the height of a human.
Wang Teng sat in the vehicle and didn't question his teammates anymore. Instead, he started examining the connection between him and the little crow.
He knew that he couldn't use common logic to understand the situation now.
Wang Teng tested a few times and finally confirmed that he could exchange his angle of view with the little crow.
This discovery allowed him to feel at ease. Then, he couldn't help but feel elated.
At first, he thought that this was just a normal agreement. He didn't expect to have a surprise gain.
This 'exchange of vision' had many uses. Without even needing to think carefully, Wang Teng came up with many scenarios where he could use this ability.
For instance, he could use it when investigating, keeping watch, or spying…
It was honestly extremely useful!
Wang Teng let out a huge breath to calm his emotions. Then, he felt a little puzzled again.
Why didn't other people experience this situation when they formed the contract? Why did it only appear when it was his turn?
Could it be that he was the destined protagonist, so he was given this special treatment?
Cough, don't you know that you will get beaten by others if you are so shameless?
Or rather, it may be because Master Ling Xu is so amazing that all the spiritual pet contracts he made have special effects? Wang Teng wondered to himself, but he denied it thereafter.
That wasn't right. If this spiritual pet contract had such a benefit, General Manager Li, whose eyes would light up whenever he saw money, wouldn't sell it to him at such a low price.
Could it be… He frowned and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, a thought flashed past his mind.
Spiritual Sight!
That's right, it must be the Spiritual Sight.
Wang Teng remembered that Spiritual Sight was an ability dropped by the little crow's parent. He had just picked it up.
That meant that the little crow had most likely inherited Spiritual Sight too. Hence, there was a similarity between him and the little crow.
This might be why he was able to change to the little crow's vision.
The more Wang Teng thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. He felt enlightened and stopped pondering over this question.
Huh?
Once he straightened his thoughts, Wang Teng's gaze landed on the attributes panel unconsciously. He couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise.
The attributes panel had changed silently without him noticing.
An additional column had appeared out of nowhere.
Spiritual Pet: Spirit Flame Ghost Crow [1-star (8/100), Talent: Spiritual Sight, Spirit Flame (not awakened)]
After making the connection, the attributes of the spiritual pet actually appeared on the attributes panel! Wang Teng had a sudden thought. In that case, can I add attributes for it?
He still had some blank attributes leftover after killing all the star beasts in the past. He added one blank attribute to the little crow's Force attribute.
The attributes on the attributes board immediately changed.
Spiritual Pet: Spirit Flame Ghost Crow [1-star (9/100), Talent: Spiritual Sight, Spirit Flame]
The little crow seemed to have felt the change in its body. It gave a confused look. It didn't know what happened at all.
I can really do it! Wang Teng was elated.
This way, he was able to save a lot of time grooming the little crow. He just needed to get blank attributes, and he would be able to quickly increase the little crow's ability. It would soon become a useful helper.
Also, when the little crow grew to its parent's size, Wang Teng would have an additional mode of transport, flying. This would look better than riding on an airplane.
It's just a little big, so it will be inconvenient to bring it along… Wang Teng touched his chin and thought to himself.
At that moment, an explosion from outside broke his thoughts. The heavy armor vehicle took a huge turn. Wang Teng was caught off guard, so he flew out and fell to the side. With his face facing forward, he bumped into something soft…
"Enemy attack!" Lin Zhan shouted.
Wang Teng turned serious. He hurriedly raised his head and met Liu Yan's embarrassed and angry gaze.
"Erm… Sister Yan, I didn't do it on purpose," Wang Teng hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, I will settle this score with you later." Liu Yan glared at him. The machine gun in her hand was already loaded. She aimed it behind the vehicle.
"Who is it?"
Wang Teng followed her gaze and saw three heavy armor vehicles driving out from the little hill behind them. They were rushing towards them at high speed.
"I don't know. Damn it, how dare they sneak attack us." Lin Zhan was infuriated. His expression was extremely ugly.
If he hadn't reacted in time and evaded the sudden cannon attack, the people in the vehicle would be dead or crippled.
"Let's kill them then." Liu Yan's gaze was filled with killing intent. She aimed her heavy machine gun at one of the vehicles behind and pulled the trigger.
Bang, bang, bang!
Clang, clang, clang!
Three bullets per round. All of them hit the armor of the heavy armor vehicle, igniting a series of sparks.
The other party was a master too. When the person saw Liu Yan firing, he drove the vehicle in another direction.
The other two vehicles didn't slack either. A huge number of alloy bullets shot towards them. They hurriedly lowered their heads to evade the attacks.
Boom!
Their opponent fired the cannon once again.
Lin Zhan steered the steering wheel violently. At the same time, he stepped on the accelerator, and the heavy armor vehicle shot out for some distance.
Boom!
The cannonball landed on the ground less than 8 meters away from the vehicle and exploded. The vibration caused the heavy armor vehicle to shake right and left. Rocks and soil splattered towards them.
"F*k, do you really think that we're easy to bully?"
Yan Jinming's face was cold. He took out a rocket launcher from a box filled with firearms and carried it on his shoulder. He fired it at one of the vehicles chasing them.
Normally, when a martial warrior team went out, they would always prepare ample firearms so that they would have the ability to retaliate.
Boom!
Unfortunately, their opponent also evaded Yan Jinming's attack.
At the same time, Yan Jinyue took out a heavy machine gun from the box and helped Liu Yan disrupt their opponent's gunfire attack.
The two siblings didn't specialize in firearms, but they had been through training, so their aim was accurate. They weren't shooting anyhow.
Wang Teng didn't waste his time either. He took out his rune gun and aimed it at one of the drivers of the vehicles. He then squeezed the trigger.
The other party had a look of disdain. He seemed very confident as he steered the steering wheel and evaded the route of the bullet.
However, the next moment, the expression on his face froze abruptly.
Thump!
Blood splattered everywhere!
A single headshot!
This is Gun Kungfu! Wang Teng thought to himself. An ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Everyone was shocked!
Liu Yan turned to look at Wang Teng. Even she didn't understand that shot. The driver had already evaded the route of the bullet, so why was he still hit?
However, this was obviously not the time to probe further.
"Good job. Continue!" Lin Zhan laughed loudly. He didn't care about all these as long as the enemy was dead.
The heavy armor vehicle that lost its driver crashed to the side uncontrollably. The person on the passenger's seat pushed away the corpse of his comrade and regained control of the steering wheel.
However, this gap was enough for Wang Teng and his teammates to finish their operations.
"Wang Teng, let's have a competition to see who kills more people," Liu Yan aimed her gun as she spoke.
"Alright. Since Sister Yan is interested, I will accompany you." Wang Teng smiled in a relaxed manner.
The two of them exchanged glances with each other. Then, they fired almost simultaneously.
Liu Yan was obviously more serious now. The people in the vehicle weren't able to evade at all in their state of flurry.
Wang Teng and Liu Yan continued their victorious pursuit. Their target was the people in that car.
"Bang, bang." Two gunshots and two lives were lost instantly.
There were five people in the car. After three of them died, the other two's expressions changed. They didn't dare to snatch the steering wheel anymore and chose to jump down the car directly.
However, if they were able to think about this, Wang Teng and Liu Yan could too. The moment they landed on the ground, another two gunshots were heard. Their bodies twitched, and they were unable to stand up anymore.
The other two vehicles got closer and closer. The people in the car emptied their magazines at Wang Teng and his teammates. They had surrounded them from both sides.
Lin Zhan drove the car and dashed right and left. Yan Jinming and his sister supported Liu Yan and Wang Teng. They interfered with the enemies for them.
The other side had many people and firearms. Wang Teng and Liu Yan could only evade and fire whenever they had the chance.
Thump!
Gun Kungfu was indeed powerful. When Wang Teng fired, a person on the left fell down the car before he could shout in agony.
But, at the same time, the two cars had already flanked them. One person from each car held a cannon and aimed it at Wang Teng and his teammates. They fired immediately.
"F*k, sit tight!"
Lin Zhan's pupils constricted. He couldn't help but curse before pressing a red button on the car panel.
The engine of the heavy armor vehicle growled like the roar of a wild beast. The runes on the car lit up, and the car's speed accelerated exponentially. It felt as though a huge force was pushing it forward.
The two cannonballs scraped the tail of the heavy armor vehicle. They then shot towards the two vehicles at the side.
"Jump quickly!"
The people in the two cars were stunned when they saw the cannonballs flying towards them. They were at a loss. However, someone regained his senses and shouted in fear.
The people in the car jumped out subconsciously.
Boom!
Boom!
The two vehicles were blown into the air.
On the other side, Lin Zhan stepped on the brake, and the heavy armor vehicle skidded furiously. It stopped after creating a burnt arc on the ground.
Then, he jumped down the car and charged at those people.
Liu Yan and the two siblings didn't need any reminders. They had been working together for a long time, so they knew what they had to do now.
After Lin Zhan got out of the car, they followed closely behind him and leaped down. They took out their weapons and walked towards the attackers.
Wang Teng unsheathed his battle sword with one hand and followed right behind.
When attacked for no reason, anyone would be angry. There was nothing to say about this matter. These people must die.
Those attackers that jumped out of the car were dizzy from the explosion. However, they were all martial warriors, so they regained their consciousness really quickly. They immediately stood up and dashed towards Wang Teng and his teammates.
"Kill them!" one of them shouted coldly.
There were still seven to eight of them left. They took out their weapons and attacked Lin Zhan and his team members.
"Kill!"
Lin Zhan was fuming in anger. He took out the giant battle axes behind his back and shouted as he attacked.
He chopped a man's weapon into two with his ax, and his giant ax cut landed on the person's head. It cut through his head like paper, splattering red and white matter everywhere.
This was Lin Zhan's first battle after he advanced to a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior. He didn't expect it to be in a situation like this. His opponents were pitifully weak.
They were mostly 1-star or 2-star soldier-level martial warriors. Under Lin Zhan's giant axes, they could only get trampled by him.
There were two 3-star soldier-level martial warriors among them. They noticed that Lin Zhan was the most powerful member of the team, so they attacked him together.
On the other end, one 2-star soldier-level martial warrior charged towards Wang Teng with a sinister smile on his face.
He had already noticed that Wang Teng was the youngest person on this team. Also, they had researched this team before and knew that there was a 1-star soldier-level newbie in it. It had to be this young man in front of him.
Wang Teng felt that he was looked down upon. The person opposite him seemed so confident that he couldn't bear to disappoint him.
Unfortunately, this was a life-or-death battle. If his opponent didn't die, he would be killed. Wang Teng slashed his sword in the air, and the sinister smile on the person's face froze. Then, it slowly turned into fear.
How is that possible?
He was confused. What happened to being a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior?
Why is he so powerful?
In the end, he left this beautiful world in confusion.
Another martial warrior who was closer to them looked at him as though he was a ghost when he saw his comrade getting killed instantly. He wanted to escape.
However, a figure quickly appeared in front of him.
"Are you trying to run?" Wang Teng smiled and asked.
"Please spare me!" The man immediately threw his weapon down as if he was afraid that Wang Teng would kill him if he was a second too late. Then, he kneeled on the ground without any dignity and begged for mercy.
"Answer my questions, and I might just spare your life," Wang Teng said.
"Please ask, please ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know." The man nodded frantically.
"Who sent you?" Wang Teng asked.
"The Yao family's family head, He made a deal with many martial warriors and asked us to kill the 4-star and below martial warrior teams that came back from the Dark Mist Forest three months ago," the man said hurriedly.
By this time, Lin Zhan and the rest of the team had ended their fights too. Besides a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior who was half-crippled and was being dragged over by Lin Zhan, the other martial warriors had all died.
"Leader!" The man saw the 3-star soldier-level martial warrior in Lin Zhan's hand. He seemed to be on the brink of death. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes filled with fear.
These people were too powerful!
They had killed his entire team without getting harmed. Even the two 3-star soldier-level leaders were in this state.
"Yao family of Yang City!" Lin Zhan's expression was stern. He exchanged glances with his team members. They had obviously guessed the reason.
"Do you know why they are doing this?" Wang Teng still asked.
"The son of the Yao family's family head seemed to have been killed in the Dark Mist Forest. But, he didn't know who killed his son, so…" the man replied honestly.
"So he decided to not let anyone off and kill all the teams that came back from the Dark Mist Forest," Wang Teng said with a cold smile.
"Yes, yes." The man didn't dare to match Wang Teng's gaze.
The Yao family's family head's method was a little outrageous. Just because the Yao family was strong and powerful, he decided to spare no innocent to take revenge for his son. They must have implicated so many innocent people.
His way of doing things was unscrupulous!
Of course, these people were no better. They would do anything for money. They were jackals of the same lair. They had no right to reprimand the Yao family's family head.
It was fine if they met someone weaker. But, the problem was, they met their nemesis this time. He had no choice but to bow down to them because he was going to lose his life.
Of course, if he knew that he met the real murderers, how would he feel?

Chapter 208: Shameless Is My Name
After knowing the reason, Lin Zhan and his team members were filled with righteous indignation.
They had killed the young man in the Dark Mist Forest because he wanted to snatch their spoils of battle. If not, they wouldn't have killed him for no reason.
The family head of the Yao family was an unreasonable person too. He killed so many unrelated martial warriors without caring for right or wrong.
This was the martial warriors' world, and it was the survival of the fittest. But, every debt had its creditor. His way of doing things made them furious.
"How strong is the Yao family?" Wang Teng continued asking.
"The strongest person in the Yao family should be the family head. He's at the 6-star soldier level. As for the rest, they have revealed 4 5-star soldier-level martial warriors and around eight to nine 4-star soldier-level martial warriors."
Wang Teng and his teammates' expressions turned serious when they heard this.
This Yao family was a gigantic family.
They couldn't afford to provoke them!
Lin Zhan and the others were furious, but they could only control themselves.
"Since the Yao family is so strong, why do they still need people like you to act?" Wang Teng frowned and asked.
"Hmph, for the sake of their family's reputation. This isn't something glamorous, and it won't sound nice if other people heard of it. Although many people know what kind of person the family head is, they still maintain a good relationship with him on the surface before they officially shed their pretenses.
"Also, this is something that can be done with the money. This small amount is nothing to the Yao family, and they don't have to worry about their family members getting hurt or killed."
Wang Teng was enlightened. He turned to Lin Zhan and his teammates and asked, "Alright, I am done. Leader, do you have anything to ask?"
The others shook their heads. They were a little surprised by how experienced Wang Teng sounded. He had asked everything they wanted to know.
"I will hand this person over to y'all then." Wang Teng smiled and moved away.
Liu Yan asked, "What shall we do with him?"
"Kill him. They are not good people," Yan Jinming said.
"Wait, you said that if I reply to your questions, you will let me go." The man was flabbergasted. He shouted at Wang Teng.
"I'm letting you go, but they don't want to. I can't do anything about that," Wang Teng said helplessly.
"You're… shameless!" The man was so angry he wanted to vomit blood. He glared at Wang Teng.
"Shameless is my middle name." Wang Teng sniggered.
The man still wanted to say something, but Yan Jinming had already acted. His neck was twisted and broke before he could resist.
Lin Zhan crushed the throat of the 3-star soldier-level martial warrior in his hands. The martial warrior died immediately.
At first, he wanted to leave someone alive so that they could ask him for more information. He didn't expect Wang Teng to catch a timid one. They didn't even need to threaten him. He instantly spilled the beans.
After that, Lin Zhan asked everyone to clear up the battlefield. They searched the corpses and destroyed all traces…
They were all very familiar with this whole process.
Wang Teng secretly collected the attribute bubbles that the martial warriors had dropped.
Earth Force*9
Wood Force*8
Metal Force*12
Fire Force*10
Water Force*6
They were all Force attributes. There weren't any scripture or talents.
Wang Teng highly suspected that he was getting more and more unlucky recently. He was supposed to be the son of lady luck. What happened to him?
Half an hour later, Lin Zhan and the others finished their business too.
They found more than 300 energy stones from their attackers and some rune weapons. This was a small fortune.
They split the energy stones evenly and kept the rune weapons. They would sell these weapons after they returned and divide the money earned.
Speaking about this, Wang Teng had already collected a few hundred energy stones. He just didn't have the time to use them.
However, Lin Zhan and his team members weren't too happy. Instead, they were all heavy-hearted. After all, it was a huge pressure to have such a formidable Yao family as their enemy.
"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. The Yao family doesn't have evidence to prove that we did it. They won't find us for now.
"Also, based on what the man said, the Yao family won't act rashly since they care about their reputation.
"Now, we are in the dark and they are in the light. We just need to raise our ability secretly. Leader, when you reach 5-star or 6-star soldier level, they won't dare to touch us easily," Wang Teng consoled them.
"It sounds easy, but our leader spent many years before he became a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior. Advancing to 5-star and 6-star will be even harder. We don't know how long that will take," Yan Jinming said dejectedly.
"What are you afraid of? Mind you, I think that we should find the Yao family directly and attack them while they least expect it. Killing one is a gain, and killing two is a bonus. To hell with the Yao family. Do they think that we can be bullied easily… Tsk, I feel angry just thinking about it," Liu Yan said.
Wang Teng couldn't help but give this lady a thumbs up.
Impressive!
"Alright, don't look as if we are going to die immediately. Although the Yao family is strong, they won't dare to come to Yong City to cause trouble. As long as we are not too far away, there won't be a problem.
"If the Yao family dares to kill randomly, the mighty warriors of Earth will teach him a lesson. It doesn't matter if he is a 6-star soldier-level martial warrior or a 9-star soldier-level martial warrior.
"Taking many steps back, we can just hide on Earth and not come to the Xingwu Continent. He won't be able to do anything to us," Lin Zhan smiled and said.
"Hiding on Earth is a good idea. Leader, you're really sly," Wang Teng complimented.
…Lin Zhan was speechless. He smiled and scolded Wang Teng, "Go away. How can you say that the martial warriors' way of staying alive is sly?"
Liu Yan and the others burst out laughing too. After this change of topic, they felt much better. They were all martial warriors, so they were prepared to die. They were not really afraid, but they had just lost some confidence.
They didn't plan to change their schedule. They continued driving to Red Leaves Hill.
Along the way, they met some lone dogs and wolves wandering in the wilderness. Most of these star beasts weren't very powerful. They scattered when they saw their team and didn't dare to get close to the huge vehicle.
Of course, some weren't afraid of death.
They met a pack of 2-star jackals. These star beasts normally hunted in packs, and they were ferocious and vicious. They chased the heavy armor vehicle and pounced on it. Wang Teng and the others had no choice but to take care of them.
Lin Zhan drove the car with one hand and held his giant ax with another. He slammed his ax on a jackal that pounced towards him, swatting it like a fly.
The jackal only had the time to groan once before its bones shattered, and it fell off the car. It died.
Liu Yan had found a new hobby—shooting competitions with Wang Teng.
"Just now, you were ahead of me by one person. This time, let's see who can kill more jackals." As she spoke, she raised her gun and started shooting. The massive force of the bullet caused a jackal to fly back.
Wang Teng didn't know what to say. He pulled the trigger and fired three shots at the leader of the pack.
The three rune bullets drew three white lines in the air. They shot towards the vital spots of the jackal in three different directions. There was only a slight difference in their angle.
The jackal sensed danger and howled. It evaded to the side.
The jackal's speed and agility were outstanding. Even if the bullets were traveling at a fast speed, it was still able to dodge in time.

Chapter 209: Red Leaves Dwarf Tribe
However, the three bullets suddenly changed their routes in midair.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Three blood flowers blossomed on the jackal's body, one of them coming from its head. The impact of the shots caused it to fly three meters back. It slammed on the ground and lost its breath.
"This is?" Liu Yan was dumbfounded when she saw this scene.
Before this, she felt that Wang Teng's gun skill was a little weird. At that time, she didn't see it clearly, but she saw everything now since she took special notice of it.
The three bullets didn't change their route. They were supposed to move in that direction.
Wang Teng had used his frightening calculative ability to predict the escape route of the jackal. Thus, when it dodged, the bullets hit its vital points directly.
"Gun Kungfu!"
Liu Yan thought of these two words. She wasn't able to remain calm anymore.
To all the martial warriors who used guns, Gun Kungfu was the most powerful battle technique they could have. Many people would scramble for it.
Liu Yan was no exception.
Once the leader of the jackals died, the other jackals were at a loss. They were routed easily. The remaining three jackals noticed that the situation wasn't right, so they stuck their tails between their legs and escaped in a flurry.
Wang Teng used his spiritual power to pull the attribute bubbles they dropped and picked them up.
He received in total:
Blank Attribute*30
Earth Force*38
"Did you use Gun Kungfu just now?" After the battle ended, Liu Yan grabbed Wang Teng's hand excitedly.
"That's right." Wang Teng didn't hide it. He nodded his head in agreement.
"Gun Kungfu!"
Lin Zhan and the others couldn't help but look at him when they heard this.
It was obvious that they had heard of the renowned Gun Kungfu before. They were astounded that Wang Teng had grasped this gun battle technique.
"Where did you learn it from?" Liu Yan was even more excited when she saw him admitting it. She asked him again.
Hence, Wang Teng told them the process of how he learned Gun Kungfu. Of course, he hid the part about him picking up attributes.
What do you mean by picking up attributes? I'm a one-in-a-million genius. I can grasp anything I learned.
After Lin Zhan and his team members heard his story, they remained silent for a long time.
"Your experience is a little…" Lin Zhan and the others realized that they couldn't find any phrases to describe it.
"Hehe!"
"God of Guns? Why hadn't I heard of this person before?" Liu Yan was a little anxious and doubtful.
"I don't know." Wang Teng shook his head. He didn't understand the person either.
"It's a pity that your gun skills are taught by the other party. If not, I wanted to buy it from you." Liu Yan shook her head in pity.
Wang Teng nodded. Although the other party was a mental patient, Wang Teng wouldn't pass his Gun Kungfu knowledge to other people without his consent.
"You can try my method," he said.
"Forget it. I can't be as shameless as you." Liu Yan rolled her eyes.
"How am I shameless? This is called strategy." Wang Teng felt helpless.
"Hmph."
At approximately 3 pm, Wang Teng and his teammates finally reached Red Leaves Hill.
Wang Teng looked at the scenery outside the window, and a flash of amazement flashed past his eyes. A small hill entered his vision. It was surrounded by low trees covered in red leaves.
There were patches of fields on the hill too, covered with golden crops. Many short figures were hard at work in the field.
There were tall and huge rocks erected around the hill in a strange style. There were also buildings built on the hill, and they had merged with the hill. The entire scene looked magnificent.
"This is the Red Leaves Hill!"
Lin Zhan parked the vehicle and asked everyone to get down. They then headed to the hill.
"You are?" A small and dainty young female dwarf appeared on a tree. She looked at them with vigilance.
"Hello, we are martial warriors from the Jixin Martial House in Yong City. We came to help you clear the Gale Mantis. This is the proof of our mission." Lin Zhan took out a scroll.
This kind of ancient mission delivering method wasn't popular on Earth anymore. However, the Xingwu Continent continued to use it. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
The lady's figure flashed, and the scroll in Lin Zhan's hand landed in her hands. Then, she appeared on the branch again. She opened the scroll and took a look at it. Her expression softened, and she nodded. "Follow me, martial warriors from the Jixin Martial House."
She leaped down the tree and led the way into the mountain.
Lin Zhan and the others followed her.
This was the first time Wang Teng came in close contact with a dwarf. He couldn't help but observe her secretly from the back. Her hair was tied into numerous pigtails, similar to the dreadlocks hairstyle on Earth. She was wearing leather armor. It was simple and practical. It seemed to have a good defensive ability too. It worked in the same way as the battle uniforms they were wearing.
She was also carrying a bow and arrow on her back with a dagger tied around her thigh. There were no large weapons, so she appeared light and agile as she walked.
Along the way, they met many other dwarves, who all sized up Wang Teng and his teammates curiously. They greeted the dainty female dwarf.
"Ni Ya, who are they?" some dwarves asked directly.
"They are martial warriors from the Jixin Martial House. They came to help us clear the Gale Mantis," the dainty little dwarf, Ni Ya, explained.
Then, these dwarves started discussing among themselves.
"They are martial warriors from the Jixin Martial House!"
"Did they come from the world behind the dimensional rift? They look the same as the human race on our Xingwu Continent."
"I don't care who they are. I will treat them as friends if they are able to clear those damn Gale Mantis…"
Wang Teng listened to their conversations and noticed that many dwarves didn't ostracize them.
Maybe to the normal people, they wouldn't bother about the Xingwu Continent or the Earth as long as it didn't affect their everyday lives.
However, what made Wang Teng curious was the huge difference in the appearance of these dwarves.
Along the way, they saw many dainty and pretty little dwarves. However, they also saw many extremely muscular ones. They looked like the short version of bodybuilders. Whether it was a male or female, they all looked like this.
Wang Teng asked Lin Zhan about this in a low voice.
Lin Zhan looked at the dainty little dwarf in front of them and moved his lips slightly. His voice entered Wang Teng's ear. "Ethnic difference."
Ethnic difference! This difference is quite huge. Wang Teng wondered to himself. He didn't probe further, though.
Ni Ya brought them to a building on the hill that had actually merged with the hill. An old dwarf with white hair greeted them. "Welcome, my guests who have traveled a long distance. I am the head of the Red Leaves Tribe, Ao Mu."
"Nice to meet you, respected tribe leader of the Red Leaves Tribe." Lin Zhan walked forward and greeted him.
"We know your intention of coming. Thank you for your arrival. Do you need to rest first?" Ao Mu asked.
"No need. We have rested enough along the way. We can go and hunt Gale Mantis right away," Lin Zhan said.
"In that case, I will ask Ni Ya to gather the soldiers in our tribe to go with you. They are quite strong, and they have fought with the Gale Mantis before. They have some understanding of the Gale Mantis," Ao Mu said.
"Okay." Lin Zhan had no reason to object. They did need to have some information about the Gale Mantis first.

Chapter 210: Baffling Hatred
While they were waiting for the dwarf soldiers to gather, Wang Teng took the little crow out of his bag and fed some meat to it.
The lady dwarf, Ni Ya, looked at them curiously for some time. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this your spiritual pet?"
"Yes." Wang Teng nodded.
"Why did you think of raising a crow?" Ni Ya frowned.
To many people, crows were ominous. Thus, people rarely raised crows as their spiritual pets. The ancient tribes in the Xingwu Continent felt the same way, so Ni Ya found it hard to understand.
"I don't have so many taboos. Also, it's the descendant of an advanced-rank star beast. There's potential in grooming it," Wang Teng explained in a few sentences.
"Advanced-rank star beast!" Ni Ya was shocked. The cubs of star beasts were rare, much less the descendants of advanced-rank star beasts.
"You are really lucky."
She threw away her prejudice. Instead, all that was left in her heart was jealousy.
When Lin Zhan and the others saw Ni Ya talking to them voluntarily, they joined in the casual conversation. They received much useful information from her.
Ni Ya told them that she was one of the guardian martial warriors of the Red Leaves Tribe. She was at the 2-star soldier level and was normally in charge of the safety of the tribe.
There weren't many martial warriors in the entire dwarf tribe, only around eight. Their abilities were around the same. They were all 2-star soldier-level martial warriors.
That was why they needed to seek help from martial warriors outside through the form of a mission.
Also, she said that the tribe could only release four dwarf soldiers, inclusive of her, to hunt for the Gale Mantis with them.
The others had to stay in the tribe in case something happened.
After some time, the three dwarf martial warriors walked over from afar.
They were all extremely muscular and buff. They used battle axes and maces as their weapons and carried a battle shield behind their backs. They looked like human-size tanks.
Looking at their appearance, Wang Teng couldn't help but remember the martial warrior from the giant race he saw in the past.
Besides the height difference, they were similar in many areas.
However, there was another extreme in the dwarf race. There were small and dainty dwarves like Ni Ya. When placed together, all the giants seemed huge and muscular.
Of course, the giants were all taller than two meters, so they couldn't be dainty even if they wanted to!
The moment they walked closer, one of the dwarves raised his loud voice and said, "Ni Ya, are they the human martial warriors who came to help us with the Gale Mantis?"
"Wa Ke!" Ni Ya turned around and looked at him. She nodded. "That's right, they are martial warriors from the human race."
"Will they really be helpful? The Gale Mantis are difficult to deal with. The others are fine, but this fellow doesn't seem very strong. He just looks a little handsome." Wang Teng pointed at Wang Teng blatantly.
Wang Teng: …
He felt that he got targeted for no reason!
Is it any of your business whether I'm handsome or not?
Ni Ya frowned. She glared at him and said, "This is too much. Is this how you treat a guest?"
Wa Ke's aura weakened immediately under Ni Ya's sharp glare. However, he continued muttering, "He does look a little weak!"
"Shut up!" Ni Ya scolded.
Wa Ke noticed that she was really angry, so he shut his mouth unwillingly.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's wrong with Wa Ke today. Please don't take it to heart," Ni Ya apologized to Wang Teng.
Lin Zhan and his teammates were furious. They wanted to open their mouths, but they saw Wang Teng shaking his head at them. Then, Wang Teng said calmly, "It's okay."
Lin Zhan and the others didn't say anything. However, their attitude turned colder. They said, "Let's not waste time. Since everyone is here, hurry up and lead the way."
Ni Ya glared at Wa Ke again when she felt the atmosphere turning awkward. Then, she led everyone to the field with an overflowing number of Gale Mantis.
"In the past, only a few Gale Mantis would appear. Our tribe could get rid of them easily. However, this year, for some unknown reason, a large number of Gale Mantis have appeared." Along the way, Ni Ya still fulfilled her responsibility and introduced the situation to them.
"There is a 3-star Gale Mantis King among them too. One of our warriors almost died while fighting. Fortunately, he was saved by our tribesman."
"Gale Mantis are wind-element star beasts. They move quickly, and their front limbs are in the shape of a sickle. It's extremely sharp. There's a row of hard sawtooth on it and a hook at the edge. When you're fighting, be careful not to get hooked by it…"
Lin Zhan's team's expressions became a little stern when they heard Ni Ya's introduction.
Wang Teng silently memorized the special features of the Gale Mantis.
The field that was dominated by the Gale Mantis was some distance away from the residential area of the dwarves. The martial warriors ran at normal speed and arrived at their destination in around ten minutes.
They stood at the edge of a desolated field. Weeds were covering the field, and they were almost half the height of a human. When they looked ahead, everything was green. They couldn't see any signs of the Gale Mantis.
"The Gale Mantis are green all over, so it's hard to notice them when they hide among the grass. Everyone, be careful." Ni Ya reminded.
But, the moment she finished speaking, Wang Teng pointed to a certain spot in the grasses and said, "There's one there."
Everyone was shocked. They immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.
As expected, when they looked carefully, they could see a long and narrow Gale Mantis hiding in the middle of the grass. It was approximately one inch in length and was emerald green in color. Its color was similar to the leaves beside it, so it was hard to see it.
Everyone was shocked by Wang Teng's eyesight.
Wa Ke had a similar feeling. But, he still snorted in disdain and muttered, "He just has better eyesight."
Ni Ya kicked him this time. She couldn't help but ask Wang Teng, "Can you see more Gale Mantis?"
"At 6 o'clock, eight meters away, there's one. The third one is in the 8 o'clock direction, ten meters away…" Wang Teng activated his Spiritual Sight and pointed out all the Gale Mantis near them. In the end, he said, "That's all I can see. I can't see the farther ones."
Actually, with his Spiritual Sight, he could see all the Gale Mantis in his surroundings. However, he didn't want to perform too well, so he held back a little.
Also, he didn't know where the Gale Mantis King was hiding. He didn't see it.
"Let's take care of these Gale Mantis first," Lin Zhan said.
"Liu Yan, you will stay outside and cover us. The others can choose one to kill. I choose the one in the 8 o'clock direction. You can take one at random."
After he finished speaking, he dashed into the bushes.
The dwarves were obviously stunned by how decisive and fast Lin Zhan was.
Liu Yan and the two siblings were used to his method of doing things. Although they felt a little speechless, they also acted swiftly.
Lin Zhan raised her heavy machine gun and aimed it around Lin Zhan.
Yan Jinming and his sister chose a Gale Mantis each that was nearer to them and charged over.
Ni Ya and the other dwarves didn't want to lag behind. They also selected one each and ran into the field.
Before the Gale Mantis knew what was happening, they suffered from all kinds of attacks.
However, the speed and reaction speed of Gale Mantis were indeed impressive. When they spread their wings and flapped them, they were able to fly three to four meters in the air. A gale seemed to have appeared in mid-air. Then, they appeared in front of Lin Zhan and the others and slashed their sickle-shaped limbs at their heads.
"Die!" Lin Zhan was the first to bear the brunt. When the sickle arms fell towards him from above his head, he got a fright. He raised his battle axes with his hands and flung them upwards.

Chapter 211: The Talent Technique Of The Gale Mantis King: Wave Invisibility
The speed of the Gale Mantis was hard to deal with, but in front of absolute power, it wasn't able to cause any harm.
Lin Zhan was a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior now. He didn't even need to use his full strength. He flung his battle axes out and chopped off the sickle-shaped limbs that were giving off a metallic glint.
Only this pair of sickle-shaped limbs that possessed attacking power was as hard as metal. Except for this, the other parts of the Gale Mantis were extremely soft. Lin Zhan slashed his battle axes again, and the sharp blades split the Gale Mantis into two.
When the green blood spurted out, he dodged out of the way.
Yan Jinming and his sister didn't have an easy and casual fight like Lin Zhan's, but they didn't have a problem handling a Gale Mantis. Very soon, they killed their Gale Mantis.
Ni Ya and the other dwarves exchanged glances with one another when they saw this. They were flabbergasted.
So powerful!
Lin Zhan's strength exceeded their expectation.
The next moment, Ni Ya was elated. The stronger Lin Zhan and his team were, the higher their chances of clearing the Gale Mantis.
"Leader, be careful of where you are chopping. The front limbs of the Gale Mantis are precious smithery ingredients. Don't destroy them," Liu Yan reminded him from behind.
Lin Zhan looked at the front limbs of the Gale Mantis that had been chopped into half. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I didn't notice it. I will keep them safe and sound next time."
"These are all money. Don't waste it." Liu Yan was still worried.
"Alright, alright."
When they charged into the field, they had already alerted the other ten Gale Mantis deeper in the field. They all flapped their wings and flew into the air, launching a combined assault.
A single or two Gale Mantis weren't hard to deal with. However, there were too many of them now. They were fast, and their sickle-shaped front limbs added an extra threat. If they stabbed the vital spots on their bodies, they would get a severe injury and might even die.
In an instant, Yan Jinming, his sister, and the dwarves felt pressurized.
Only Lin Zhan remained invincible. He waved his giant axes to the right and left, and many Gale Mantis corpses piled up below his feet.
Liu Yan focused on covering up Yan Jinming and his sister. She would fire a shot occasionally to force away the Gale Mantis that was attacking the two of them. Of course, she didn't forget to take care of the dwarves. Even though there was some unhappiness between them a moment ago, this wasn't the time to settle the scores. The mission was the most important thing.
"Why aren't you moving?" As she pulled the trigger, she asked Wang Teng, who was still standing beside her.
"I want to wait and see," Wang Teng replied calmly.
Lin Zhan and the others were able to handle the situation for now. There were no dangers, so he focused his attention on finding the Gale Mantis King.
Liu Yan shrugged. She didn't continue talking. She believed that Wang Teng had his own plan.
As time passed, more and more Gale Mantis were killed by Lin Zhan and the others…
"Oh no, it's the Gale Mantis King!" On the other side, Ni Ya and Wa Ke suddenly screamed in astonishment while fighting with a Gale Mantis.
A Gale Mantis shot out from the depths of the weed-covered field. Its body was two times bigger than the normal Gale Mantis. It slashed its thicker and bigger sickle-shaped front limbs down on Ni Ya's head.
Ni Ya was small and dainty, so she was quick on her feet too. However, she was entangled in a fight with another Gale Mantis when this Gale Mantis King launched a surprise attack. It had caught her off guard, so she was unable to dodge.
"Ni Ya!" Wa Ke was so angry that his eyes popped out. He shouted loudly, but he was unable to free himself to save her.
You were hiding there? Why didn't I see you with my Spiritual Sight?
This question flashed across Wang Teng's mind. He held his sword in one hand and stabbed it out.
But… I have been waiting for you for a long time!
The sword glow slashed through the air. Although Wang Teng acted later, his attack arrived first. He cut the Gale Mantis King directly and killed it in one move. Its green blood spurted on Ni Ya and Wa Ke's faces.
Liu Yan turned her head to look at Wang Teng. Her face was filled with astonishment.
"This power… 4-star soldier level?!"
She was confused. Wasn't Wang Teng a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior? Although he had killed a 2-star soldier-level martial warrior before, that was a coincidence. But, just now, he slew a 3-star Gale Mantis King directly. When did he become so powerful?
Wang Teng smiled. He didn't explain himself. Instead, he looked at the corpse of the Gale Mantis King.
Ni Ya and Wa Ke were still in shock. They thought that they were doomed this time. They didn't expect Wang Teng to kill the Gale Mantis King with a single sword attack and save Ni Ya.
The other Gale Mantis was stunned by Wang Teng's sword glow. However, it reacted in time and started attacking Ni Ya and Wa Ke again.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a bullet penetrated its skull, and its head dropped from mid-air.
"Do you want to die?" Liu Yan shouted angrily.
Ni Ya and Wa Ke regained their senses immediately. When they looked at the corpse of the Gale Mantis that was less than half a step away from them, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs.
Wang Teng ignored the complex gazes of these two dwarves. His attention was attracted by the two attribute bubbles that the Gale Mantis King had dropped.
Wind Force*36
Wave Invisibility*1
He used his spiritual power to pull them over without any hesitation.
Instantly, his wind Force increased by 36 points.
Wang Teng shuddered. There seemed to be a faint sound of glass breaking coming from inside his body. It sounded as though he had broken a certain bottleneck, and the wind Force surged out of his first Force nucleus. It entered the second Force nucleus and slowly circled inside.
Wang Teng looked at his attributes panel.
At first, he had 85 points of wind Force. Now, he had broken through the 100 points 1-star limit and reached the 2-star level.
Wind Force: 21/500 (2-star)
Wind element 2-star soldier level!
Wang Teng's gaze continued scanning down. In his battle techniques column, he saw the second gain from the Gale Mantis King.
Wave Invisibility: (1/100 foundation)
After receiving this skill, he finally understood why he wasn't able to find the Gale Mantis King with his Spiritual Sight.
That was because of this concealing talent skill.
However, after Wang Teng picked it up, it didn't become Wang Teng's talent. Instead, it existed as a form of battle technique.
Even so, Wang Teng was elated. This was a good skill. Since it was able to hide from the inspection of his Spiritual Sight, this showed how powerful the skill was.
At this moment, Lin Zhan and the others had cleared the rest of the Gale Mantis. They walked over.
"Let's clear the corpses of the Gale Mantis. We can go back then." Lin Zhan's battle-axes were covered with the blood of the Gale Mantis. It hadn't dried yet. He wiped it on the weeds at the side and then placed them on his back.
Ni Ya and the other three dwarves came over too. They all thanked Wang Teng.
Wa Ke, who was standing beside Ni Ya, had a complicated expression. He said in a low and muffled voice, "Martial warrior of the human race, thank you for saving Ni Ya. I apologize for my impoliteness just now."
"There's no need to thank me. We had a mission, so this is what I should be doing," Wang Teng said.
"Wang Teng, you're improving very quickly. You can even kill a Gale Mantis King with a single slash," Lin Zhan exclaimed.
"Yes. It has only been a short time, but you have reached this stage already." Yan Jinming was also shocked.
"I thought that I won't be the one dragging everyone down anymore after Wang Teng joined us. In the end, I'm still unable to get rid of this title," Yan Jinyue said with a sad face.
"Hahaha…" Lin Zhan and the others burst out laughing.

Chapter 212: A Dragon Doesn't Live With A Snake
Although Yan Jinyue was joking, this was the truth.
In the Tiger Warrior team, her ability had always been at the bottom. She managed to climb up a rank after Wang Teng joined them, but she could only enjoy this feeling for a few days before being pushed down again.
They knew how powerful the Gale Mantis were and how astonishing their speed was. It was impossible to guard against their attacks. Also, as a 3-star star beast, the Gale Mantis King must be harder to deal with than the other Gale Mantis.
However, Wang Teng was able to kill the Gale Mantis King with a single sword attack. Just based on this, Liu Yan and Yan Jinming might not be his match.
"In the past, I often heard that there are geniuses who can cultivate very quickly. One month of their cultivation might be one year, or even three years, of other people's cultivation. In the past, I didn't believe it, but now, I do," Lin Zhan looked at Wang Teng and couldn't help but lament. "When I see you, I can imagine that there really are super talented people in this world.
"Geniuses like you will really frustrate normal martial warriors like us to death."
Actually, Lin Zhan was talented, too, since he was able to become a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior in his twenties. But, when compared to a super genius, the difference was huge. Also, Wang Teng was more than a super genius.
He couldn't be predicted based on logic.
"That's right. You're really a monster," Liu Yan said.
"In that case, the overall ability of our team has increased again. In the past, Leader didn't have the confidence to deal with 4-star star beasts because he just broke through to the 4-star soldier level. Now, with the addition of Wang Teng, Leader, we can take on the challenge," Yan Jinming said excitedly.
"Hmm, you're right. With Wang Teng's ability, it shouldn't be a problem for us to hunt for a 4-star star beast as long as we are careful," Lin Zhan nodded and replied.
"That's great. This means that we can start hunting 4-star star beasts earlier. You might think that there's only a one-level difference between 3-star and 4-star, but the amount of money we can earn is much more than hunting 3-star star beasts. From now on, our team's ability will enter a rapid upgrading period," Yan Jinyue said longingly.
She might look weak and gentle, but her desire to become stronger wasn't weaker than any of her teammates.
In fact, because she was weak, her desire to become more powerful was much stronger.
Lin Zhan glanced at Wang Teng unconsciously. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't bear to destroy everyone's excitement. In the end, he still didn't say some things.
He could see things clearer than the others.
Based on the talent Wang Teng displayed, he would only become stronger and stronger in the future. The time wouldn't be on their side at all. When Wang Teng's ability was too far ahead of them, it would be time for him to leave the Tiger Warrior team.
A dragon wouldn't live with a snake!
And they were the bunch of stupid snakes!
Wang Teng's future was further and brighter. One day, he would have to fly away.
Lin Zhan sighed in his heart. He didn't say anything and just asked everyone to clear up the corpses of the Gale Mantis.
Ni Ya, Wa Ke, and the dwarves came to help them. Powerful warriors would be respected wherever they went. It was obvious that Lin Zhan and his teammates had won the respect of these dwarves.
Based on the instructions of the mission, the Gale Mantis killed by Lin Zhan and his team belonged to them. The materials on these star beasts could be sold for quite a lot of money. They mustn't waste it.
Wang Teng glanced at Lin Zhan's back view in deep thought. Then, he turned his gaze to the attribute bubbles dropped by the other Gale Mantis.
One look, and he could see more than twenty attribute bubbles floating in the weed field.
Wind Force*8
Blank Attribute*6
Wind Force*10
Wind Force*4
Blank Attribute*15
Wang Teng picked up everything. He gained a total of 76 blank attributes and 84 wind Force attributes.
His wind Force had just broken through to the 2-star soldier level, and it immediately shot up again.
Wind Force: 105/500 (2-star)
His ability increased exponentially. Unfortunately, wind element star beasts were rare, much less wind element star beasts that came in packs. If not, his ability could skyrocket all the way.
At the same time, he had a sizable number of blank attributes after the recent accumulation.
The gains for this mission were huge!
After he picked the attribute bubbles, Wang Teng didn't rest. He went over and cleared up the bodies of the Gale Mantis.
There were more than 20 Gale Mantis, including the Gale Mantis King. But, they didn't find any star core or star bone. The team was disappointed. Fortunately, the materials on the Gale Mantis could be sold for some money.
Adding the rewards from the mission, they could earn a lot from this trip.
The group transported the corpses of the Gale Mantis back to the living quarters of the dwarves. Leader Ao Mu had been waiting for them for a long time.
Ni Ya went up and briefly explained what happened. Leader Ao Mu was delighted. "This is great! After clearing the Gale Mantis, we can finally resume farming on that huge field."
The dwarves around them had already seen the huge number of Gale Mantis corpses and were discussing in hushed voices. When they heard what their leader said, they were thrilled. They couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"That damn group of Gale Mantis is finally dead!"
"Hahaha, this is a happy thing! We need to have a bonfire banquet tonight!"
"Yes, yes. We need to have a banquet. Call all the guests over too. We have wine and meat…"
Leader Ao Mu walked forward under the accompaniment of Ni Ya. Suddenly, he bowed to Lin Zhan and his team members. "Powerful martial warriors of the human race, thank you very much."
"Leader, there's no need to do this." Lin Zhan and his team members were shocked.
This leader was an elder. How could they receive such a bow from him?
"No, this isn't enough to express our gratitude. We will be preparing a bonfire party tonight. It's getting late, so why don't you stay back and join us? Let us welcome you with our best wine and meat," Leader Ao Mu smiled and said.
Lin Zhan and his teammates were moved. The wines of the dwarf race were extremely famous, and every tribe had its special wine. It was tempting.
The two young men, Lin Zhan and Yan Jinming, couldn't help swallowing their saliva. They asked the others for their opinion, "What do you think?"
"Look at the two of you. If you don't drink the wine, you probably won't leave this place. Why are you still asking us for our opinion?" Liu Yan rolled her eyes and retorted.
Yan Jinyue covered her mouth and smiled.
Wang Teng became curious about the dwarf race's wine when he saw their reaction.
Thinking about it, in his past life, after the Wang family collapsed, he often drowned his sorrow in wine. After all, wine and cigarettes had always been the best buddies. When there was one of them, the other had to be there too.
"We are happy to stay," Lin Zhan rubbed his hands and chuckled as he spoke to Leader Ao Mu.
"Hahaha, don't worry, there will definitely be enough wine!" Although Leader Ao Mu was old, his heart wasn't. He was even a little naughty. He winked at Lin Zhan like a child.
Leader Ao Mu was a busy person. He asked Ni Ya to lead them around the tribe while he directed the dwarves to prepare for the banquet.

Chapter 213: Picking Up The Smithery Skills Of The Dwarf Race
Ni Ya brought Wang Teng and his teammates around the dwarf tribe. But, they didn't see what they wanted to see.
Wang Teng asked, "I heard that the dwarf race specializes in smithery. Can you take us there to take a look?"
"The leader guessed that you would ask about this. He informed me to bring you guys over if you ask for it. Follow me," Ni Ya said.
She brought everyone to a stone fortress that was linked to the peak of the hill. They walked all the way in, passing through a long corridor and walking down a flight of stone staircases…
After some time, the scene inside the fortress was laid out in front of Wang Teng and his teammates.
The middle of the hill had been emptied. There were many stone rooms inside the hill, and they were linked by all kinds of strange machinery. It gave people the feeling of a science fiction movie.
A red light was emitting out of the different stone rooms. At the same time, the sound of metal clanging against each other was heard continuously. It echoed in the heart of the hill like a symphony.
Lin Zhan exchanged glances with his team members. They were in awe.
"I finally widened my vision of the world!" Yan Jinming exclaimed.
"Our dwarf race relies on smithery for living. It has continued for a few thousand years already," Ni Ya said proudly.
"Every race has its way of survival. Since they are able to persevere for a few thousand years, they have probably developed this skill to a stage we can't even imagine," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng was attracted by the countless number of attribute bubbles below him. He couldn't shift his gaze away.
There were so many of them!
All the big and small bubbles were floating in the surroundings. It was a magnificent sight!
The edge of Wang Teng's lips curled up uncontrollably.
He picked them up.
Smithery*3
Smithery*5
Smithery*1
The smithery attributes merged into Wang Teng's body. In an instant, smithery knowledge started popping up in his mind.
Even his body started to have some reaction. There seemed to be some muscle memories instilled in his body. Not only was his theory getting completed, but his practical ability was also getting more and more advanced too.
Smithery: 60/100 (small achievement)
This was his original number. Now though, his attribute kept surging all the way until it exceeded 500. His smithery changed from 'small achievement' to 'big achievement'!
Smithery: 125/1000 (big achievement)
The most important thing was, this was the smithery skills of the dwarf race.
The smithery skills on Earth were brought over from the Xingwu Continent. In the Xingwu Continent, the smithery skills of the dwarf race were the best of the best.
This meant that Wang Teng had learned the essence of the smithery skill in the Xingwu Continent. Although this was just one of the many dwarf tribes, compared to the smithery skills on Earth, it was more profound, and the details were more perfected.
The attribute bubbles below had disappeared. They were all picked up by Wang Teng.
"Sigh~"
Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh. He was extremely elated… This was a huge gain for him.
No one knew that Wang Teng had profited immensely. Ni Ya briefly introduced the situation in the hill to them. They knew that she was holding back and only let them see what was on the surface. Naturally, she wouldn't show them the details. Lin Zhan and his team members were sensible people, so they didn't probe further either.
At night.
The bonfire burned furiously on the hill where the dwarves lived. It lit up the entire place.
A bonfire banquet was in progress.
The empty ground was exceptionally lively, and the air was rife with peals of laughter.
The special music of the dwarf tribe, accompanied by rough singing, drum beats, and the various unknown ancient musical instruments, cranked up the atmosphere.
The ladies of the dwarf race presented all kinds of fruits and vegetables, meat, and wine to them. Lin Zhan and his team were dazzled by the variety, and their mouths kept salivating.
"Oh my god, this smells so good!"
Lin Zhan hurriedly pulled a barbecued pig throttle down and started eating it in large bites.
His other hand didn't remain idle. He was holding a large-sized cup with delicious wine inside. He sniffed it slightly and closed his eyes to relish the feeling. He took a huge swig of the wine.
"Ha~ Good wine!"
"F*k, Leader, you're really fast." Yan Jinming didn't want to lose out. He wolfed down the meat and drank the wine in large gulps. His entire mouth was covered with oil. The feeling was amazing.
Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue were more elegant. They weren't slow either, but they didn't act like they hadn't eaten something as good as this.
Wang Teng smiled and shook his head. He released the little crow and tore a huge piece of barbecued meat to let it eat by itself. Then, he poured a glass of wine and enjoyed the delicious wine while eating the barbecued meat. He looked up at the sky filled with stars and suddenly felt that this kind of life was rather enjoyable.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, right? The wines of the dwarf race are really good." Yan Jinming placed his hand on Wang Teng's shoulder and smiled.
"This is indeed good wine." Wang Teng raised his cup and cheered with him. The two of them finished their wine in a single gulp.
"Are you satisfied with the wine and food prepared by us?" Ni Ya walked over. The dwarf called Wa Ke followed behind her.
Wang Teng had realized that this fellow liked Ni Ya. That was why he felt unhappy when he saw Ni Ya chatting with him at the start and hurled abrasive remarks at him.
But, after he witnessed Wang Teng's ability, he became more obedient. He didn't dare to offend him anymore. He had probably also noticed that Wang Teng had no thoughts towards Ni Ya.
Lin Zhan and Yan Jinming raised their thumbs when they heard the question. Unfortunately, their mouths were stuffed with food, so they couldn't say anything.
Ni Ya and Wa Ke burst out laughing when they saw their appearance. There was no better proof than their actions.
"Eat more…"
Before Ni Ya could finish her sentence, a loud drumming sound was heard. It drowned out all the other noises.
The surroundings immediately turned quiet!
"What happened?" Wang Teng and his teammates' expressions changed slightly as they stood up.
"Enemy attack!"
Ni Ya's expression changed entirely. She turned and rushed down the hill. Wa Ke followed closely behind her.
The entire place was in a mess.
"Quick, quick, hide in the stone fortress!" Leader Ao Mu's voice sounded and echoed throughout the area.
The bonfire was destroyed by all the kicking. The food and the wine spilled on the ground, but the dwarves couldn't care less about this. They quickly rushed towards the stone fortress.
"Let's go."
As Lin Zhan spoke, he dashed towards Leader Ao Mu. Liu Yan and the other team members quickly caught up with him.
"Leader Ao Mu, what on earth happened?" Lin Zhan took the chance and asked.
"Bandits!" Leader Ao Mu said with a serious face.
"Bandits?" Lin Zhan and his teammates were surprised. They were puzzled as they asked, "Why are there bandits here?"
"I don't know either. It has been many years since bandits appeared in this area," Leader Ao Mu replied.
"I wonder how powerful those bandits are," Lin Zhan said.
Leader Ao Mu looked worried. He hesitated before saying, "If my tribesmen can't defend themselves, may I ask for your help…"
Lin Zhan and his team members exchanged glances before replying to him. "Don't worry. Since we've encountered them, we won't sit back and do nothing."
After he finished speaking, more than ten figures charged out from the dark.
"Kill, kill everyone! Snatch their money!"
Ruthless peals of laughter rang out from all around. These people killed whoever they saw.
Ni Ya and her friends were a few steps behind them. When they saw their tribesmen getting killed, their eyes turned red, and they pounced on the bandits with an angry cry.
Lin Zhan, Wang Teng, and their friends couldn't bear to see the dwarves getting killed. Hence, they joined the battle. The longer they waited, the more harmless dwarves might get killed.
The few of them were like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Immediately, seven to eight bandits got killed.
Wang Teng killed a 1-star soldier level bandit with his fist. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind attacking him from the back.
He saw a vicious-looking man with brown hair standing not far away. The man slashed his blade at him. The blade gave off a scorching heat as it appeared in front of him in an instant.
Steps of Gale!
Wang Teng executed his footwork and turned into a series of lingering shadows. He tilted his body to dodge the attack.
The brown-haired man's expression changed slightly when he saw Wang Teng dodging his attack successfully.
3-star soldier level!
Wang Teng gauged the other party's ability after glancing at him with his Spiritual Sight.
Then, upon evading his opponent's attack, he stomped on the ground forcefully without wasting a single second. The impact formed shock waves as he shot towards the brown-haired man.
"Idiot!" When he saw Wang Teng charging over empty-handed, the brown-haired man smiled coldly. He welcomed Wang Teng's attack without dodging.
Wang Teng's body suddenly disappeared in front of him. By the time he appeared again, he was behind the brown-haired man and was holding a gold brick in his hand. His expression was holy as he smashed the brick down.
Bang!
The brown-haired man felt excruciating pain on the back of his head. His vision turned black, and he fell forward uncontrollably. This was a perfect 'wild goose descending on the sandbank' move.
Before he lost his consciousness, he heard this sentence.
"You are the idiot!"

Chapter 214: Attacking The Black Wind Bandits At Night
Bang!
The brown-haired man was slammed on the ground and lost his consciousness.
Wang Teng squatted down and smashed the brick on his head a few more times.
As expected, attribute bubbles emerged from his head. Wang Teng smiled.
Spirit*1
Enlightenment*3
Fire Force*12
Spirit*2
Enlightenment*2
Fire Force*16
Wang Teng picked them all up. In total, he received 12 points of Spirit and 14 points of Enlightenment.
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (32.4/100)
Spirit: Spirit (20.6/100)
Based on the ratio, his Enlightenment and Spirit increased by 1.4 and 1.2 points, respectively.
Also, he gained 28 points of fire Force. Wang Teng's fire Force increased once again.
Wang Teng got up and swung the brick behind his back to keep it. He was preparing to kill the next bandit.
Suddenly, he saw the young dwarf called Wa Ke standing not far away. He was looking at him with fear all over his face, which was covered with a mustache and a beard.
When he met Wang Teng's gaze, he turned his head hurriedly and pretended that he didn't see anything.
"What is this big guy doing?" Wang Teng felt speechless. He shook his head, ignored Wa Ke, and ran towards another bandit.
Wa Ke heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed Wang Teng ignoring him. He patted his chest to calm his small heart, which was palpitating furiously.
"This is so scary, too scary. I'm lucky that I didn't offend him."
Around ten minutes later, all the bandits had been taken care of.
Lin Zhan and his team had joined the battle in time, so there weren't many casualties on the dwarves' side. But, there were still a few dwarves who got killed.
The dwarves hiding in the stone fortress came out under the lead of Leader Ao Mu when they learned that the battle had ended. Seeing their dead tribesmen, they were overwhelmed with sadness. Faint sobs could be heard all around.
The people who got killed had dropped many attribute bubbles. Wang Teng picked up all of them.
Wood Force*8
Earth Force*6
Blank Attribute*12
Water Force*5
Smithery*32
His various elements of Force increased, and he also gained 38 blank attributes, as well as 56 points of smithery.
These attribute bubbles weren't just dropped by the bandits. Some of them came from the dwarves who got killed.
Wang Teng could only express his pity.
Leader Ao Mu was grieving. He walked over with Ni Ya holding him and thanked Lin Zhan and his team. "Once again, thank you for your help. This time, if it wasn't for you, our Red Leaves Tribe might have suffered serious losses."
Wa Ke followed behind them. His gaze flickered when he looked at Wang Teng.
"You're welcome, Leader Ao Mu. Please accept my condolences," Lin Zhan sighed as he said.
Wang Teng kicked the brown-haired man and said, "I kept someone alive. Do you want to question him?"
"Yes. The bandits appeared without any warning. We should question him. If there are other bandits, we will be in trouble." Leader Ao Mu nodded seriously.
"This fellow is a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. He probably has some status among the bandits. I hope that you can get some information out of him," Wang Teng said.
"Wa Ke, bring this bandit down and question him in detail," Leader Ao Mu commanded.
"Yes!"
Wa Ke nodded. He flipped the brown-haired man over.
Wang Teng: …
Everyone finally saw the badly swollen face of the brown-haired man. It looked like a pig's head. Their lips twitched as they looked at Wang Teng with strange gazes.
"Cough!" Wang Teng coughed awkwardly as he said, "I hit him a little harder in case he wakes up."
Wa Ke remained silent as he dragged the brown-haired man down.
Leader Ao Mu brought Wang Teng and his teammates inside the stone fortress while they waited for the result. More than an hour later, Ni Ya and Wa Ke finished the questioning and came back.
Leader Ao Mu noticed their grave expressions, so he asked, "How is it?"
"They come from a bandit gang called the Black Wind Bandits. Three days ago, they were entrenched on a mountain more than ten kilometers away and laid their eyes on us at that time. They only acted today after they settled down," Ni Ya said.
"Do you know how many people they have? What about their ability?" Leader Ao Mu probed further.
"Besides the ones we killed just now, there are around 30 to 40 bandits left. He said that the strongest bandit is the head of the Black Wind Bandits. He is a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior. Below him, there are two more 3-star soldier-level and around four 2-star soldier-level martial warriors. The rest are 1-star soldier-level martial warriors or martial disciples," Ni Ya replied.
"This… What is this powerful bandit gang doing in our area?" Leader Ao Mu stamped his stick on the ground as he sighed helplessly.
"Leader, we need to take immediate actions. If we wait until they react, we will be dead," Ni Ya said agitatedly.
"They have 4-star and 3-star soldier-level martial warriors among them. Our tribe is not their match at all." Wa Ke felt hopeless.
Leader Ao Mu hesitated for a moment. He seemed to have made a decision. He turned and said to Lin Zhan, "Martial warriors of the human race, can you help us one more time? If you're able to destroy the gang of bandits and help us survive this life-or-death crisis, we will definitely give you a satisfying reward. Also, you will gain our friendship. If you want to forge weapons in the future, our Red Leaves Tribe will not reject you. We will spare no effort to forge the best weapons for you."
Lin Zhan and his team members' eyes lit up.
The friendship of the dwarf race and the promise of forging weapons, honestly, they were moved.
However, Lin Zhan still hesitated for a while. He said, "We need to discuss for a moment."
"Yes, of course." Leader Ao Mu nodded. He led Ni Ya and Wa Ke out of the room to give them some space.
Outside the room, Ni Ya glanced at the closed door and asked impatiently, "Leader, do you think they will agree?"
"I don't know. I hope they will agree. If not…"
Leader Ao Mu frowned and sighed. He didn't complete his sentence.
If not… what?
There was no need to continue. Ni Ya and Wa Ke could already imagine the consequences. They could only pray that Lin Zhan and his team would stay and not leave for good.
If they left, their tribe would most probably become history. After all, it was too late to send another mission to gather other martial warriors.
In the room, Lin Zhan and his team members were discussing this issue.
"I feel that we can't leave just like this. The dwarf tribe will be fraught with grim possibilities," Liu Yan said.
"But, we mustn't underestimate the ability of the Black Wind Bandits. Their head is a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior. We don't know if he is at the early stage, the middle stage, or the advanced stage. Leader might not be able to win. They also have other martial warriors," Yan Jinming analyzed logically.
"The dwarves will be in a sad plight if we leave." Yan Jinyue was a little emotional. She couldn't bear to leave the dwarves alone.
"Wang Teng, what do you think?" Lin Zhan looked at Wang Teng, who hadn't opened his mouth yet.
"I can deal with the 4-star soldier level martial warrior," Wang Teng said calmly.
His words were always astonishing!
The jaws of his team members dropped immediately. They were stunned for a long time and didn't know what to say.
"Are you sure?" Lin Zhan hesitated before asking. He trusted Wang Teng, but he just found it a little unbelievable.
They were already dumbfounded when he reached 3-star soldier level. Now, Wang Teng was telling them that his ability was on par with a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior!
Brother, are you trying to ascend to heaven!
"I will not fool around with my life," Wang Teng replied.
"Good!" Lin Zhan instantly made his decision. He understood Wang Teng's intention. He had agreed to fight. Lin Zhan stopped hesitating and said, "We will help the dwarves!"
"Also, we don't have to fight with them head-on. If we sneak there now, we can catch the Black Wind Bandits off guard," Wang Teng suggested.
"Good idea!" Everyone's eyes lit up.
"You are indeed a sly person!" Lin Zhan patted Wang Teng's shoulder and praised him.
Wang Teng: …
After discussing the issue, Wang Teng and his teammates walked out of the room.
"Everyone, what did you decide?" Leader Ao Mu hurriedly came forward and asked.
"Leader Ao Mu, we can help," Lin Zhan said, "But."
Ao Mu had just heaved a sigh of relief when his heart tensed up again. "But?"
"I need to say some things first. If things get out of control, we will retreat strategically," Lin Zhan said.
"How can you do that?" Ni Ya immediately replied angrily.
Wa Ke wasn't happy either. He wanted to say something.
Leader Ao Mu waved his hand at them and smiled bitterly. "Of course!"
"Don't worry. We are talking about the worst-case scenarios." Lin Zhan finally smiled. He consoled them, "We just discussed and realized that our chances of winning are high."
Then, he told them about their plan to sneak an attack on the bandits.
"In that case, we do have a high chance of winning." Ni Ya was elated.
"Let's not delay matters anymore. We will prepare and leave instantly!" Lin Zhan said.
"Okay!" Leader Ao Mu nodded his head firmly.
Everyone prepared at the fastest speed possible. They brought along the brown-haired man, who was knocked unconscious by Wang Teng. While the sky was dark, they hurried to the mountain that was taken over by the Black Wind Bandits.
"You better release me. If not, my boss will not let you off." The brown-haired man was tied up using a tailored strong rope. He was being carried by Wa Ke, and his face was covered with bruises. However, he remained fierce and ruthless as he threatened them in a muffled voice.
"Do you want to have another taste of this brick on your head?" Wang Teng silently took out the gold brick calmly.
The brown-haired man: …
To hell with the brick on my head!
Are you a devil?
Wa Ke's face twitched. He secretly moved further away.
Lin Zhan and the others felt their lips twitching. They also looked at Wang Teng with weird gazes. What did he mean by 'in case he wakes up'? He had clearly done it on purpose just now, right?
But, the effects were extremely good. The brown-haired man felt the back of his head and his face hurting again, so he shut his mouth obediently.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the mountain where the Black Wind Bandits were.
"Lead the way!" Wa Ke put the brown-haired man down and said coldly.
"Are you attempting to sneak an attack on them?" The brown-haired man finally understood what they wanted to do. He was flabbergasted.
"Shut up! Do what we ask you to do. If we don't ask you to speak, keep quiet." Wang Teng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
"You!" The brown-haired man was furious. But, because of Wang Teng's strength and threat, he didn't talk back. He could only shut his mouth and lead the way.
Sometime later, they came to the area where the Black Wind Bandits had set up their base. Mind you, the speed of the martial warriors was swift. In just three short days, they had already set up a camp on this barren mountain peak. Normal people would not be able to build this base in half a month.
Wang Teng and the others hid in the dark. From afar, the Black Wind Camp was brightly lit. The noise and clamor floated out from within, including all kinds of vulgar and coarse words.
"They haven't rested yet. It's not a good time to act," Lin Zhan whispered.
"Let's give them some additional ingredients." Wang Teng played with an ordinary-looking plant in his hand as he smiled.
"You have an idea? Stop hiding it and tell us quickly," Lin Zhan asked immediately.
"Hehe, see the plant in my hand?" Wang Teng asked.
Lin Zhan and the others finally noticed the plant in his hand.
"What is this?"
"This is Sleepy Herb. I picked it up along the way. Its juice is colorless and odorless, and it has a powerful illusion effect. It's one of the most important herbs in making knockout potions. Although its effect isn't as good as the pills, it's enough to let those bandits suffer," Wang Teng explained.
"You're really sly!" Lin Zhan and the others looked at one another and stuck out their thumbs.
Wang Teng: …
Are you complimenting or slandering me?
"This idea is not bad. But, how are we going to put them into the bandits' food?" Lin Zhan asked.
"Leave it to me. I'll settle it," Wang Teng said.
Lin Zhan hesitated for a moment before replying to him. "Be careful."
"Yes."
Wang Teng nodded and moved his body. He disappeared in the dark, silently sneaking towards the camp.
Wave Invisibility!
The skill he just received was put to use now.
Wang Teng had added 100 blank attributes to his Wave Invisibility. Instantly, this skill moved from foundation to small achievement stage.
Wave Invisibility: 1/500 (small achievement)
The next moment, Wang Teng merged with the wind.
At the same time, he used the beginner stage dark talent he received from the dark Force to cover his body with dark Force.
Double security!
The dark Force allowed him to merge with the darkness around him. Wave Invisibility skill allowed him to hide the fluctuations of his Force.
Even if a general-stage martial warrior came now, he wouldn't be able to discover Wang Teng's presence.
He sneaked all the way into the Black Wind Camp. No one noticed him along the way.
Some bandits were gathered on the empty ground in front of the camp. They were gambling, with a few jars of wine in a corner not far away from them. Wang Teng silently floated over and exerted strength on his finger. He crushed the Sleepy Herb into powder and dissolved it in the wine. Then, he retreated safely.
Lin Zhan and the others waited anxiously. Suddenly, Wang Teng walked out of the dark.
"Sigh… it's good that you're alright!" Lin Zhan heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Wang Teng would fail and accidentally get caught by the bandits.
"Everything went smoothly. Let's wait for the herb to take effect," Wang Teng smiled gently and said.
"Good fellow. You're amazing!" Lin Zhan and the others smiled and praised him.
However, Wang Teng and his teammates didn't know that there was another bunch of people lying in ambush and waiting to attack!

Chapter 215: A Final Desperate Fight
As time passed slowly, the noise in the camp dwindled gradually.
Wang Teng exchanged glances with the others. He said, "The herb must be taking effect. Let's act quickly. If not, those that haven't fainted will definitely notice something amiss."
"Alright."
Lin Zhan and the others were delighted. They nodded and sneaked into the camp.
"Finally, we can take revenge for our dead tribesmen." Hatred flashed past Ni Ya's eyes. She clutched the dagger in her hand and followed them closely.
This time, the Red Leaves Tribe had sent almost all of their battle power. Only one martial warrior was left to guard the tribe. They had made up their mind to destroy the Black Wind Bandits.
They knew that if the Black Wind Bandits didn't die, they would be annihilated.
At the entrance of the camp, two bandits were on sentry duty. However, they were obviously in a bad mood. They kept complaining.
"Damn it, they are having good food and drinks inside, but we have to guard the camp."
"What can we do? We were unlucky and lost when we were drawing lots. Let's guard the camp properly tonight."
How unlucky!
"Huh? They became quiet so early today…"
One of them noticed something amiss. Before he could finish speaking, a cold breeze blew past.
"Oh my god, the wind tonight is a little cold!" One of the guards complained. He sniggered and said, "Who knows? Maybe they got weak."
At this moment, a black figure suddenly dashed into the sentry post. The sharp and cold light slashed the throats of the two bandits at the speed of lightning.
Who are you?!
The two bandits didn't even have the time to voice their thoughts. They clutched their necks and fell to the ground. After twitching a few times, they lost their breaths.
The black figure checked their pulse and heartbeat and confirmed that they were dead before he finally stood up.
The torch at the side shone on her face and revealed her appearance. It was Ni Ya.
She waved to the people outside. A few black figures shot in and appeared in the sentry post. They gathered around Ni Ya and entered the camp silently.
In the empty ground within the camp, the bandits who were gambling in high spirits a moment ago were all lying unconscious in various positions on the ground.
When he saw this scene, Wang Teng was slightly shocked and a little surprised.
The effect of the Sleepy Herb was so strong? Did it knock everyone out?
In that case, they were able to capture all the bandits in one go without any effort.
Lin Zhan and the others were stunned too.
At the start, they imagined that the difficulty of this mission would be really high. Yet, now, before they acted, all the bandits were down. It felt unreal.
"Let's act quickly. Changes might happen if we act too late." Ni Ya held her dagger and walked forward impatiently.
The dwarves hated these bandits to the core. They couldn't wait to kill all of them. This was such a good opportunity, so what were they waiting for?
"Be careful. They might be tricking us," Wang Teng frowned and reminded her.
"Don't worry." Ni Ya waved her hand nonchalantly.
However, she wasn't stupid. She remained vigilant in her heart as she quickly came in front of a bandit. She slashed the bandit with the dagger. A cold glint of Force glow flashed past.
The bandit died peacefully in his sleep.
"It looks like we overestimated the intelligence of the bandits!" Wang Teng and the others were guarding against any sudden changes. When they noticed that no accidents happened, they sighed softly and went forward together. They started reaping the lives of the bandits mercilessly.
These bandits were evil people whose hands were stained with the blood of many innocent lives. Thus, they felt no pressure when killing them.
However, when Lin Zhan was preparing to kill a middle-aged bandit, the other party suddenly pounced up. A cold glint of light that looked like a poisonous snake sticking out its tongue stabbed towards his heart viciously.
Lin Zhan was still on his guard, but he didn't expect someone to pretend to faint while seeking an opportunity to retaliate. He was in a flurry for an instant.
Fortunately, he was a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior. His speed and reaction speed were both great. His gaze froze, and he reacted within a split second.
He knew that the distance was too close, so he couldn't dodge the attack. Thus, he just tilted his body slightly and moved his vital points away.
Slash!
The dagger stabbed into his body.
The bandit gave a hideous smile.
However, Lin Zhan didn't back down. He held his battleax with the other hand and slammed it down ferociously.
"No!" The hideous smile on the bandit's face froze. He gave an angry and regretful roar. The effects of the herb remained in his body. He was a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior, so he didn't lose his consciousness immediately like the other bandits. But, he was still affected. His actions were slow, and he couldn't evade the attack.
Bang!
His head was smashed into a pile of minced meat!
Lin Zhan was indignant when he attacked, so he didn't show any mercy. In fact, he couldn't. He needed to kill the bandit in one move.
This accident happened within a few breaths, and everyone's expression changed tremendously. However, they could only watch Lin Zhan getting hurt.
"Leader!"
"Leader!"
Yan Jinming and Liu Yan exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, another bandit leaped up and charged towards Yan Jinyue, who was closest to him.
"Die!"
The bandit's expression was savage. He looked like an evil wolf lunging at its prey. He was extremely ferocious.
Yan Jinyue's beautiful face turned pale.
"Get off!" Wang Teng reacted the fastest. He pulled Yan Jinyue back and punched the bandit with his fist.
Blue ice Force erupted from his fist. The power of his punch shot forward and flung the bandit a few meters back. Fresh blood kept flowing out of the bandit's mouth. He was dumbstruck.
This script wasn't right!?
He wanted to take Yan Jinyue as his hostage when his comrade jumped up, ambushed them, and attracted their attention. He wanted to use her to force Wang Teng and the others to listen to them.
His plan was great, and Yan Jinyue also got frightened by him. She wasn't able to react in time and was about to land in his hands. Once he got hold of her, he could do anything to them.
However, Wang Teng, who was at the side, reacted instantly and defeated him in a split second with his punch.
He was unwilling to admit defeat. His face turned red from frustration. Before he took his last breath, he shouted two words.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, noises were heard from the other end of the camp.
The camp wasn't very big. Some bandits who were resting inside took their weapons and dashed out.
"Who is it?"
"What is happening?"
When they saw the situation outside, their expressions changed entirely, and they shouted furiously, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The remaining bandits charged towards them together.
Things had already reached this state, so Wang Teng and the others knew that they couldn't continue their ambush plan anymore.
Lin Zhan ignored the injury on his body and yelled in his deep voice, "Kill!"
No one hesitated. They executed their skills and shot towards the bandits.
The two bandits who tried to ambush them were the 3-star soldier-level martial warriors. They were already dead, so the remaining bandits were only 1-star or 2-star soldier-level martial warriors. Some of them were even martial disciples. They weren't Wang Teng and his teammates' match.
In the blink of an eye, they killed seven to eight bandits. Cries of agony and shouts intertwined in the air.
Ni Ya and the dwarves were held back by a few 2-star soldier-level bandits. They couldn't kill them for some time.
Wang Teng waved his sword, and his sword glow flashed a few times. He helped the dwarves kill the bandits…
Boom!
Suddenly, the door of a house in the middle exploded. A black figure charged out with a powerful aura.

Chapter 216: Your Team Has Been Enlisted
"Oh no, it's the head of the Black Wind Bandits!"
Their expression changed when they saw the black figure flying towards them with a massive force of presence.
"Quickly kill the other bandits. Leave this person to me."
Lin Zhan chopped a 1-star soldier-level bandit and turned around to fight with the head of the Black Wind Bandits.
The guy was a muscular man around 30 years old. His hair was brown and curly, and his face was covered with different colored mustaches. He was extremely rough-looking.
The current situation outside made him enraged. He pounced on Lin Zhan without any hesitation.
"Die!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
This person's weapon was a huge battle blade. It slashed towards Lin Zhan with an invincible yellow Force. At the same time, the man kept shouting furiously again and again.
He shouted three times continuously!
His ferocious aura was extremely frightening!
Lin Zhan's expression changed. He threw out his Two-Handed Axe to block the huge blade that kept chopping towards him.
His battle techniques, along with his battleaxes, were fierce and unyielding. But, he had met his match today.
The blade skill of the head of the Black Wind Bandits was fierce and unyielding too. He smashed his blade down repeatedly, forcing Lin Zhan to retreat.
Lin Zhan was at a disadvantage!
When everyone saw this scene, their expressions turned somber. If Lin Zhan couldn't beat the head of the Black Wind Bandits, they would… run away.
However, it hadn't reached that stage yet. The most important thing now was to kill the scattered bandits around them and help Lin Zhan fight with the head of the Black Wind Bandits afterward.
A group versus a person, there was nothing wrong with it!
Liu Yan was on full throttle. The alloy bullets spilled out as though they weren't worth anything. It took the lives of many bandits.
The Yan siblings combined their sword and blade skills and cooperated very well. Their speed of killing was astonishingly fast. Very soon, many bandits had died under their blade and sword.
Ni Ya and the other dwarves went berserk from all the killing. Many low-rank martial warriors got killed by them.
After a few minutes, all the bandits had gone to hell.
Everyone finally had the time and effort to surround the head of the Black Wind Bandits and lighten the pressure on Lin Zhan.
"Dwarves!"
The head of the Black Wind Bandits stood in the middle and looked around him. His gaze paused on Ni Ya and the other dwarves. He said in contempt, "I didn't go and look for you personally. How dare you come and find me?"
"You have done many evil things. What's wrong with killing you?" Ni Ya shouted angrily.
"Hahaha, kill me?" The head of the Black Wind Bandits laughed. He glanced at them scornfully and said, "With just the few of you? Kill me?"
"You will know after you try!" Wang Teng said calmly.
"He who knows not fears not!" The head of the Black Wind Bandits shook his head. He stared at them with his tiger eyes, and his aura increased exponentially until it reached the peak of 4-star soldier level.
"Kill!"
When his aura reached its maximum, he roared and stomped on the ground. He looked like a crazy wild bear charging at them.
"Boom!"
The ground around him was unable to bear the huge pressure. It caved in, and cracks that looked like spider webs appeared. They spread out toward the team.
"4-star soldier level peak!"
Everyone's expression changed. They felt unprecedented pressure.
Could they beat this head of the Black Wind Bandits?
However, the arrow was already in the air. They had to remain tough and fight with him no matter how hard it was.
Wang Teng also turned serious. He didn't hesitate and rushed forward together with the others.
Boom, boom, boom!
The glints of weapons and Forces collided, creating huge explosions. The powerful wind swept the dust into the sky, and sand and stones flew around them. This was evidence of how heated the battle was.
The head of the Black Wind Bandits was honestly powerful. Despite fighting with so many people, he didn't show any signs of weakness.
Bang!
The dwarves were still weaker. He grabbed an opportunity and swept his legs at them, kicking them a few meters back. They laid on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. It looked like they were seriously injured.
The Yan siblings attacked his back when he was distracted.
Two lines of blood instantly appeared on the bandit's back. He turned around abruptly and swung his sword at them with a hideous face. He forced the Yan siblings back.
At this moment, a ray of gold ax glow struck him from his left. The sharpness of the attack caused the bandit's expression to change. He didn't dare to block it, so he could only dodge to the side.
At the same time, Wang Teng moved.
He had been waiting for this chance. When the head of the Black Wind Bandits dodged, a fiery red sword glow appeared on his path of escape.
Fire Kirin Sword Skill!
Half-formed sword presence!
Wang Teng didn't hold back any of his power in this attack. Also, the attack hit the head of the Black Wind Bandits directly. These frightening scorching flames engulfed the entire body of this man.
The head of the Black Wind Bandits screamed in agony!
"We succeeded!?" Lin Zhan and the others were delighted. They increased the power of their attacks and started hurling all kinds of Force battle techniques at the bandit.
Kill him while he was sick!
They had finally injured him, so they must pursue their victory. They couldn't give him any chances of turning the tides.
A few moments later, the head of the Black Wind Bandits crashed into the ground. His body was burnt, and there were many wounds on it. He was dead.
"Sigh!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
All of them had suffered injuries on their bodies. When they relaxed, they felt their wounds, and their faces turned pale.
The price was a little high, but at least they had won this battle.
They were unable to hide the happiness on their faces. Just when they were planning to sit down and have a rest, the sound of clapping was suddenly heard outside the camp.
"You did well!"
More than ten people walked into the camp. A few of them were wearing military uniforms. They looked like soldiers.
Lin Zhan and the others tensed up, but they immediately relaxed again.
But why are there military people here? They wondered at the same time.
"Leader Lin, we are fated." A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"It's you!" Lin Zhan shifted his gaze and realized that the person who spoke was the young master from the Yao family. He was the one who wanted to join their team before they departed.
Lin Zhan felt his head hurt. They had just accepted this mission casually, yet they still met this guy again.
This wasn't fate. It was a tragedy!
"Yes, it's me. Aren't you surprised?" Young Master Yao asked with an ambiguous smile. He glanced at Wang Teng. Then, his gaze landed on Lin Zhan.
"I am a little surprised," Lin Zhan replied.
"Lin Zhan." At this moment, a man with long hair standing beside Young Master Yao called him.
"Chong Liang, it's you." Lin Zhan looked at the man. He then understood what happened. "So this Young Master Yao must have joined your Wolf Fang team."
"That's right. Speaking about it, I have to thank you for sending Yao Jun to our Wolf Fang team. He really is strong," Chong Liang laughed as he said.
"Hmph, congratulations," Lin Zhan said indifferently.
Yao Jun was furious when he saw Lin Zhan's nonchalant attitude. He turned around and secretly looked at the man in a military uniform who was in the lead.
The man in a military uniform coughed awkwardly and said, "Cough, you're Lin Zhan, right?"
"That's me. You are?" Lin Zhan asked cautiously.
"I'm one of the squad leaders in the 'Crimson Tiger' troop. We are on a mission now. This is a special situation. I'm giving you an emergency notice. Your team has been enlisted," the man in a military uniform said.

Chapter 217: Revealing His Identity
"Enlisted?!"
Lin Zhan was slightly shocked. Then, he thought of something, and a sense of uneasiness soared into his heart.
It was uncommon to see the military suddenly enlisting martial warriors who weren't in the army. But, if anyone met this situation, it was definitely a bad thing.
Some of these missions were death missions. One could imagine how dangerous they were.
But, the military couldn't just enlist non-army martial warriors as they wanted. They could only force the martial warriors to enlist if it was an emergency, and the military had no choice but to borrow outside forces.
Also, after the mission ended, they needed to report the situation and prove that there was indeed a need for enlistment.
If they abused their authority, they would need to bear the responsibility.
"That's right. This is a special situation, so we need your help," Liu Huaixin, the man in the uniform, said.
The hope in Lin Zhan's heart turned into disappointment. He exchanged glances with his team members and gritted his teeth as he replied, "Even if it's the military, you can't enlist us for no reason. We need to know the reason."
"I'm sorry. That is classified. I can't tell you," Liu Huaixin shook his head and said.
"We have the right to know." Lin Zhan looked at him directly in the eye without backing down.
Liu Huaixin frowned.
"Leader Lin, there's definitely a reason for the military to enlist us. We just need to cooperate with them. Why are you asking so many questions?" The leader of the Wolf Fang team, Chong Liang, interrupted them.
"The mission of the military is the most important thing. Leader Lin, don't bring your own interest first," Yao Jun pretended to persuade him out of kindness.
"Please cooperate with us!" Liu Huaixin glanced at Lin Zhan and his team members with an indifferent expression.
The next moment, the military martial warriors he brought along raised the guns in their hands and aimed them at Lin Zhan and his team.
Lin Zhan, Liu Yan, and everyone's expression became ugly. No one would be in a good mood when they had more than ten guns pointing at them.
The corner of Yao Jun's lips curled up, and a sinister gaze flashed past his eyes.
He was rejected by Lin Zhan many times in the past, so he felt extremely frustrated. His heart was filled with hatred. This time, since he met them coincidentally, he wouldn't throw this good opportunity away.
A tinge of mockery flashed past Chong Liang's eyes.
Lin Zhan and he were both members of the Jixin Martial House. His Wolf Fang team was a famous elite martial warriors team too. However, he always got pushed down by Lin Zhan's Tiger Warrior team.
While executing missions, the two teams often met. He had suffered many losses because of the Tiger Warrior team, so the two teams weren't as peaceful as they seemed on the surface.
When he saw Lin Zhan and his teammates being forced into a corner, he was delighted.
He had heard from others that Lin Zhan had rejected Yao Jun. Also, he knew that this enlistment was Yao Jun's doing. He hated Lin Zhan and his team. There was something fishy about this enlistment. The Tiger Warrior team would probably suffer a huge setback this time.
Lin Zhan, Lin Zhan, you are seeking your own death. Why didn't you accept Yao Jun, who has a powerful background, when he came to look for you personally? Why are you holding on to a martial arts exam top scholar who doesn't have any background? You are really stupid. Look at you now. Yao Jun has connections everywhere. He just needs to play a few tricks, and you will have to suffer terribly. Chong Liang laughed at their plight.
He knew clearly that Lin Zhan had no chance of rejecting the enlistment. The drafting was mandatory, and self-taught martial warriors like them had a lower status than military martial warriors. Even if their ability was stronger than the military martial warriors, it was useless unless their power allowed them to ignore all rules.
Obviously, Lin Zhan and his team members didn't possess this skill.
Wang Teng watched the progress of the situation quietly. He had a thoughtful expression on his face. When he saw the military martial warriors pointing their gun barrels at them, he stood up and said, "This is my martial warrior credential. Take a look at it and decide if you should continue aiming your guns at us."
As he spoke, he threw his martial warrior credential at Liu Huaixin.
Liu Huaixin frowned uncontrollably. He glanced at Wang Teng before catching his martial warrior credentials. He opened it and took a look.
"Tsk, why are you acting so arrogantly? You're just a student from Huanghai Military Academy. Do you think I don't know your identity? There are so many students in Huanghai Military Academy. Do you really think you're special?" Yao Jun scoffed.
He was speaking to Liu Huaixin, too, in case he wavered.
Wang Teng didn't even glance at him. He remained silent and waited for Liu Huaixin to finish reading.
Lin Zhan and the others were anxious and puzzled. They wondered what Wang Teng was doing.
Could it be like what Yao Jun said? Was he planning to suppress Liu Huaixin with his status as a student of Huanghai Military Academy?
But, this was obviously not enough!
Yao Jun was right. There were many students in Huanghai Military Academy. In the future, they would have different achievements. No one would make an exception for a freshman.
Unless this freshman had some background or he was so outstanding that others couldn't look down on him.
Wang Teng didn't have any background, though. He was outstanding, but he had only started university not long ago. If he wanted to become prominent, he needed more time.
At this moment, Liu Huaixin said in astonishment, "You have been awarded the 'sergeant' rank?"
"That's right, I know that this fellow… what?" Yao Jun wanted to say something, but he suddenly got shocked. "Sergeant rank?!"
"Sergeant, sergeant rank!" Lin Zhan and the other people were dumbfounded too.
It felt like how you knew someone was rich, but suddenly, you realized that his wealth wasn't just a few million or tens of millions. It was a few billion.
The difference between them was enough to make one dizzy!
The military martial warriors pointing their guns at Wang Teng looked at each other. They didn't know if they should lower their guns.
Mind you, their squad leader, Liu Huaixin, had been in the military for a long time and had completed many missions, yet he was only awarded the 'sergeant' rank recently.
Even so, he was considered very outstanding. There weren't many people in their troop who were given a 'sergeant' rank at his age.
How old was this young man in front of them? He was actually at the same rank as their squad leader!
"Put down your guns," Liu Huaixin said.
The military martial warriors heaved a sigh of relief. They hurriedly put down their guns. They were afraid that if they aimed it at him a second longer, he would remember them in his heart.
"That's impossible!"
Yao Jun couldn't believe it. He started questioning, "He's just a freshman. How can he have a military title!"
"How can the martial warrior credential be fake?" Wang Teng laughed. He replied to Yao Jun calmly.
"You…" Yao Jun got angered by his tone. He snorted and turned around. "Squad leader Liu, is there any problem with his martial warrior credential?"
"No." Liu Huaixin shook his head.
"It's real!" Yao Jun's face turned green and red in anger. His expression was fascinating. He felt embarrassed and jealous at the same time. I don't even have a military rank! How did this fellow have one!
Actually, Liu Huaixin felt unfair too.
Wang Teng was at least ten years younger than him. But, the two of them were standing on the same starting line. How could he not be jealous?
However, he didn't display his emotions. He wore a smile on his face as he passed the martial warrior credential back to Wang Teng. He said, "As expected of an outstanding student from the Huanghai Military Academy. You received a 'sergeant' rank at such a young age. You will definitely have a bright future. I apologize for what happened just now. Please don't take it to heart."

Chapter 218: The Dark Apparition Appeared Again
Wang Teng remained composed and calm when he saw Liu Huaixin changing his attitude. He asked, "Squad leader Liu, now, can you tell us why you want to enlist us?"
"At first, I was worried that saying it out would shake everyone's morale, but now… never mind. Since we are already in this situation, I'll tell you the reason. We discovered a bunch of… dark apparitions!" Liu Huaixin said.
"A bunch of dark apparitions!"
Lin Zhan and his team members turned pale in shock when they heard this. It was hard enough to deal with one or two dark apparitions, much less a bunch of them.
Wang Teng couldn't help but remember the last time he met a dark apparition. He furrowed his brows slightly. If there were really a bunch, this number of people wasn't enough.
"I didn't expect there to be so many of them. Hence, I have no choice but to ask for your help," Liu Huaixin said.
Ask?
Lin Zhan and the others sniggered in their hearts.
You even raised your guns at us just now. Yet, you're saying that you were 'asking' us?
How interesting!
"Are the dark apparitions in this mountain?" Wang Teng asked.
"They are in one of the caves in this mountain. The Black Wind Bandits were covering up for them. I wanted to catch them and ask them about the situation, but I didn't expect you guys to kill all of them," Liu Huaixin said.
"The Black Wind Bandits were covering up for the dark apparitions?" Wang Teng was confused. "I met a dark apparition before. They have no awareness. How can there be someone doing things for them?"
"You've met one before!" Liu Huaixin was shocked. He didn't dare to underestimate Wang Teng anymore."The one you met was probably the lowest form of the dark apparitions. Their consciousness is in a mess, and they only know how to kill. High-level dark apparitions are intelligent, though, no different from normal humans. They know how to command people and can even win people's support. The Black Wind Bandits must have received some benefits from them. They are a bunch of 'human beasts' without any bottom line."
When he reached the end of the sentence, Liu Huaixin gritted his teeth furiously. He seemed to hate these ' human beasts' very much.
Wang Teng didn't expect that the one he met in the past was only a low-level dark apparition. He also didn't know that high-level dark apparitions had intelligence and could even win the hearts of humans.
The waters of this world ran really deep!
Wang Teng's expression was gloomy. Low-level dark apparitions were hard enough to deal with, much less high-level dark apparitions. No matter how he thought of it, this mission was a trap!
When he thought about this, he felt resentment towards Liu Huaixin.
Liu Huaixin felt a chill down his spine for no reason. He scanned his surroundings, wondering whether the dark apparitions were hiding nearby and spying on them.
"If there are a bunch of them and there might be high-level dark apparitions inside, the few of us won't be enough, right?" Wang Teng still voiced his doubt.
"Don't worry. I won't fight an uncertain battle. My soldiers are all strong people. They are experienced in dealing with dark apparitions. With the addition of your team, we have a high chance of winning," Liu Huaixin replied.
Since he had already said this, Wang Teng couldn't reject him anymore. He glanced at his teammates and sighed in his heart. He said helplessly, "Squad leader Liu, we will cooperate with you."
"Thank you very much!" Liu Huaixin said happily.
The few of them got ready to head to the cave where the dark apparitions were hiding. Liu Huaixin ordered his subordinates to burn the corpses of the bandits to prevent them from getting contaminated by dark Force and turning into dark apparitions.
Wang Teng used the break to sweep up the attribute bubbles dropped by the Black Wind Bandits.
Earth Force*3
Fire Force*2
Enlightenment*3
Water Force*6
Spirit*2
After picking up a series of Force attributes, Wang Teng was inching closer to becoming a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior.
His Enlightenment and Spirit had increased too!
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (34/100)
Spirit: Spiritual realm (22.2/100)
"Let's go!" After clearing up the corpses, Liu Huaixin walked over and spoke to them.
Wang Teng nodded. He turned and said to the dwarves, "Ni Ya, you go back first. We will go to your tribe to look for you after our mission."
"Okay." Ni Ya said with gratitude, "Thank you for your help this time."
"You're welcome. Go back."
"Be careful."
After bidding farewell to Ni Ya and the dwarves, they started their journey.
Liu Huaixin led the way in front. He walked to the back of the camp.
Yao Jun and Chong Liang were walking in front too. As for Wang Teng and his teammates, they were slightly lagging behind. The military martial warriors were scattered around them, remaining on their guards the whole way.
"Wang Teng, you have fought with a dark apparition before. What special characteristics do they have?" Lin Zhan asked in a low voice.
They had heard that the dark apparitions were hard to deal with, but they had never fought with them personally. Hence, they felt a little lost since they were going to meet them soon.
"Their biggest trait is their ability to merge into the dark. It makes it hard for us to find them." Wang Teng recalled the time when he met the dark apparition.
"They are able to merge into the dark!" Lin Zhan and the others were shocked.
"Dark apparitions have dark Force. When they are in a dark environment, they are like fish in water. There's no way to defend against them," Wang Teng said.
While Wang Teng was exchanging information with Lin Zhan and his teammates regarding the dark apparition, Yao Jun, who was walking in front, inched towards Liu Huaixin and pulled his Force into a thin thread. Then, he transmitted his voice through this Force thread and let it enter Liu Huaixin's ear. "Squad Leader Liu, don't forget our agreement."
This method seemed like the voice transmission technique in martial arts movies. They had different approaches, but their results were the same. They were able to prevent others from hearing their conversation.
"I'm afraid… it's not appropriate." Liu Huaixin used the same method to reply to Yao Jun secretly.
"What do you mean by inappropriate? Did you get scared by him?" Yao Jun said with disdain.
"The status makes a huge difference. If I am found out, I will not be able to bear the consequences," Liu Huaixin frowned and said.
"As long as you cooperate well, no one will discover it." Yao Jun comforted him. Then, he stuck out a carrot. "Also, if you succeed, you will be able to get the things I promised you very soon. This is a rare chance. It will be gone if you don't grab it."
Liu Huaixin's expression kept changing. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will act according to the original plan. Remember your promise!"
"Don't worry!" Yao Jun smiled. His smile was a little arrogant and sinister. In his heart, he was looking down on Liu Huaixin.
After they finished discussing the dark apparition, Lin Zhan looked in front and used voice transmission to remind them. "I feel that we can't trust them entirely, especially Yao Jun and Chong Liang. We need to guard against the two of them."
This was the first time Wang Teng saw this voice transmission method. He was a little surprised, but he quickly got the hang of it. He nodded and replied using voice transmission, "We need to be aware of Liu Huaixin too. I suspect that he has an agreement with Yao Jun."
"Even Liu Huaixin?" Lin Zhan was astounded.
"I don't know what their plan is yet, but there's nothing wrong with being careful. It will prevent us from failing miserably," Wang Teng replied using voice transmission.
"You're right." Lin Zhan took a deep breath and turned around to remind Liu Yan and the other members.
After some time, Liu Huaixin stopped. He signaled everyone to hide and pointed to a narrow and long hole below the mountain wall in front of them. It looked like a crack. "This is it. Be careful, and prepare to enter the cave."

Chapter 219: Gaining Dark Force Again
Wang Teng, Liu Huaixin, and the group hid in the dark and observed the cave from outside for a long time.
They didn't notice any traces of the dark apparitions.
Yao Jun was already a little impatient. He said, "Squad Leader Liu, can we move?"
He had never seen a dark apparition before and only heard other people's descriptions of them. Many people told him that they were terrifying, but he remained indifferent.
He felt that these people were too weak, so they raised the danger level of the dark apparition to hide their uselessness.
However, he was also very curious about the dark apparitions. He was a little excited.
Liu Huaixin frowned, and a hint of unhappiness flashed past his eyes. This Yao Jun was really naive. Dark apparitions were a menacing presence. Even military martial warriors like him, who had fought with them many times throughout the year, didn't dare to let down their guards. On the other hand, Yao Jun didn't take it seriously at all.
He glanced at Wang Teng and his teammates. They were obviously on high alert. Before he spoke, they didn't say a single word and were silently regaining their stamina and healing their injuries for the battle later.
Honestly, if Yao Jun didn't have a strong background, Liu Huaixin wouldn't be willing to cooperate with him. But, humans had to give in sometimes.
It was even more so for someone like him who didn't have any background but felt that his talent and potential were not weak.
However, Liu Huaixin didn't discover any dangers. He nodded and said, "Okay, prepare to enter the cave."
Everyone's heart trembled. They knew that it was time for the real challenge. No one dared to relax. They followed Liu Huaixin into the cave carefully.
Wang Teng had already used his Spiritual Sight to look into the cave. There were no dangers near the cave, but he couldn't tell them that.
Everyone hid beside the entrance of the cave as Liu Huaixin went in to check the area. After confirming that there was no danger, he waved his hand.
Three of his subordinates walked out with heavy machine guns in their hands. They walked into the cave.
After some time, a voice echoed out.
"Leader, it's safe!"
"Let's go!" Liu Huaixin led the way into the cave. Everyone followed closely behind him.
The cave was extremely dark, and the visibility was low. Everyone took out their battle-style infrared glasses. This was a standard item for martial warriors. Before heading out on missions, the martial warriors would carry one or two with them.
After putting on the battle-style infrared red glasses, they could see the situation inside the cave. The group continued inching deeper.
The cave was bigger than what Wang Teng imagined. After more than ten steps, the cave became broader. There was enough space for five to six people to walk side by side.
"Do you smell it? There seems to be a stench?" Yao Jun couldn't bear the smell.
"Indeed, it's a little smelly. There might be other living creatures living in this cave. The smell was probably caused by the accumulation of their feces over the years," Chong Liang analyzed.
Actually, there was no need for him to explain. Lin Zhan and the others had guessed the reason. In this kind of environment, it was either rats, snakes, or insects. After the purification of Force, the living creatures on Earth became more powerful and harder to control. The creatures on the Xingwu Continent were worse.
"The living creatures here might have been contaminated by the dark. Be careful," Liu Huaixin said.
Everyone became even more cautious.
The contamination of the dark.
Wang Teng repeated this phrase in his heart. He couldn't help but remember how a human martial warrior was assimilated by the dark apparition. This must be the dark contamination Liu Huaixin was referring to.
They kept moving deeper into the cave. It seemed to have gotten colder and more humid. Moss and lichen had also started appearing on the inside of the cave. They were giving off a faint glow.
Slash!
Two red lights suddenly lit up in the dark. A black figure pounced towards them violently. Its target was Yao Jun.
"F*k!" Yao Jun was frightened. He cursed while retreating and slashed the battle blade in his hand, cutting the black shadow into two. Black blood splattered on the ground.
They finally saw the corpse of the creature on the ground. It was a huge rat that was many times bigger than its normal counterpart. It was half the height of a human, and its body was covered with tough black fur. It had two teeth as sharp as a dagger, and its black and sharp claws gave off a metallic glint.
Yao Jun raised the battle blade in his hand and poked the rat's corpse. "Tsk, is this a living creature that got contaminated by the dark apparition? That's all?"
"This giant rat is only a 1-star star beast. However, rats normally come in a colony," Liu Huaixin squatted down to inspect the rat as he spoke calmly.
"I will kill them even if a swarm of them comes!" Yao Jun said with disdain.
Wang Teng's gaze landed above the corpse of the rat. Two attribute bubbles were floating there silently.
Dark Force*5
Spirit*6
He was surprised and picked up the bubbles silently.
"Let's continue moving forward," Liu Huaixin said.
After walking for a few hundred meters, another two giant rats appeared. They were easily killed by them. Wang Teng gained another 12 points of dark Force.
Dark Force: 26/100 (1-star)
He had received 9 points of dark Force when he met the dark apparition the last time. This time, he gained another 17 points, so he had 26 points of dark Force now.
He felt the dark Force that was hibernating quietly in his force nucleus. It felt extremely different from the other Forces. His eyes shimmered.
It had to be said that the uses of this dark Force were quite good. It could allow him to merge into the darkness. This was an excellent way to hide.
Would his body get invaded by the dark Force?
Wang Teng wasn't too worried. It had been very obedient so far. It was obvious that the power of the system wasn't something a human could guess.
Were there other uses for the dark Force? He would figure it out in the future.
Also, he gained 18 points of spirit.
It wasn't difficult to tell that the living creatures that got invaded by the dark Force were a little berserk. Thus, they dropped more spirit attributes.
Spirit: Spiritual realm (24.6/100)
The increment of my spiritual power is a little slow. However, I can take more from the dark apparitions. Wang Teng wondered to himself as he felt his spirit attribute rising.
When his Spirit attribute increased, his spiritual power got stronger too. It would give him many benefits.
His spiritual power had always been one of his trump cards. He would only use it when he had no choice. It was what he relied on to kill his enemies and protect his life at crucial moments.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Wang Teng realized that the people in front had slowed down. There was a curve in front of them. Based on how cautious Liu Huaixin was, he wouldn't move ahead rashly.
After a series of investigations, they finally went around the curve. Three paths appeared in front of them.
"It looks like we have to split up," Liu Huaixin hesitated for a moment before he said slowly.
"Split up?" Lin Zhan frowned. He said, "Squad Leader Liu, this is not a good idea. We don't know what's going on in the cave. If we split up, it will only be more dangerous for us, and unnecessary casualties might appear."
Lin Zhan didn't dare to underestimate the dark apparitions. The moment Liu Huaixin suggested splitting up, he felt that it wasn't a good idea. He didn't care about the life or death of the others, but this concerned the survival of his team members. He couldn't remain indifferent.

Chapter 220: Real-Jealous.JPG
"Lin Zhan, you're too timid. There are three paths in front of us. If we don't split up, how long are we going to search?" Chong Liang from the Wolf Fang team scorned. He didn't let go of any chance to crack down on Lin Zhan.
"Spending more time is better than losing our lives." Lin Zhan wasn't convinced.
"We have limited time. We need to clear the dark apparitions as soon as possible. If not, we wouldn't have enlisted you." Liu Huaixin glanced at Yao Jun secretly. He ordered with a stern expression, "Tiger Warrior Team, go to the left. Wolf Fang Team, go to the right. I will lead my subordinates down the middle."
Lin Zhan opened his mouth. He sighed in his heart and didn't say anything in the end.
He couldn't beat the circumstances!
He didn't have any background to offend the military.
Wang Teng glanced at Liu Huaixin, but he didn't open his mouth. Although he had the rank of a sergeant, he didn't have any real power. In a situation like this, he couldn't forcefully change anything if Liu Huaixin insisted on acting willfully.
Real power! His gaze flickered a little. He couldn't help but repeat these two words in his heart.
"Lin Zhan, Chong Liang, add my wristwatch account. We will maintain contact later and share any information we gather." Liu Huaixin raised his hand and tapped on his martial warrior wristwatch. He added Lin Zhan and Chong Liang as his friends.
The martial warrior wristwatch had many functions. It had a rune chip inside, so it could be used to communicate even in the Xingwu Continent. Of course, they needed to be in the same world. The technology now couldn't support inter-world connections yet.
Lin Zhan brought Liu Yan and his other team members to the path on the left. After walking for some distance, Liu Yan suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, "Wang Teng is gone!"
"What!" The Yan siblings were shocked. They searched for Wang Teng, but they couldn't see any signs of him.
"Don't make any commotion!" Lin Zhan said in a low voice. He looked at his team members and explained, "Don't worry. He just went to take a look at what plans Yao Jun and the rest have up their sleeves."
"You are saying?" Liu Yan and the Yan siblings felt confused and anxious.
"We will know if our guess is true when Wang Teng returns," Lin Zhan shook his head and said.
"Will Wang Teng get discovered if he goes back like this?" Yan Jinming asked worriedly.
"I don't know. However, he said that he's confident. I don't think he's joking. Let's wait and see," Lin Zhan replied.
Things had already happened, so it was useless to discuss any further. They could only wait patiently for Wang Teng to come back.
The moment Wang Teng entered the path on the left, he used voice transmission to communicate with Lin Zhan.
He stayed behind and used his dark Force to cover his body. At the same time, he activated his Wave Invisibility skill and hid in the dark to spy on Liu Huaixin and the others.
After the Tiger Warrior Team left, the others stayed on the spot and discussed in hushed voices.
Wang Teng hurriedly opened the recording function of his wristwatch.
"I have already sent someone to investigate the three paths. High-level dark apparitions are guarding the hole on the left. The Tiger Warrior Team's fate is grim. We will go and kill the dark apparitions after they exhaust the dark apparitions' power," Liu Huaixin said.
"Haha, the Tiger Warrior Team will become history after today." Yao Jun laughed and said, "Squad Leader Liu, I will remember your favor."
"Yes." Liu Huaixin nodded expressionlessly.
Chong Liang and the others knew what had happened between Yao Jun and the Tiger Warrior Team. When they heard their conversation, Chong Liang was elated.
Lin Zhan, don't blame me. You are the one who provoked someone you shouldn't. Chong Liang thought to himself.
"As for the hole on the right, there are low-level dark apparitions inside. With your ability, your team should be able to handle them."
"The hold in the middle should contain the target for your mission, right?" Yao Jun smiled and asked.
"You shouldn't ask what you shouldn't know," Liu Huaixin glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Okay, okay! You are so boring. You are so tight-lipped," Yao Jun shrugged and replied.
Liu Huaixin didn't reply. He led his subordinates into the path in the middle. Yao Jun watched his back as he left. He sneered, "Who does he think he is!"
"Young Master Yao, they are from the military." The corners of Chong Liang's lips twitched a little. He couldn't help but remind Yao Jun in a soft voice.
"Don't worry, I will just complain behind their backs." Yao Jun glanced at him. A smile of contempt appeared on his lips. He said, "Let's go too."
Wang Teng's figure emerged from the dark. There were no expressions on his face, but there was killing intent in his eyes.
After some time, he thought of something, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He went back and caught up with Lin Zhan and the rest. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Teng coming back.
"How was it?" Lin Zhan couldn't help but ask.
Wang Teng repeated the conversation he heard between Yao Jun and Liu Huaixin. Their expressions turned extremely ugly.
"That bastard Yao Jun, how dare he trick us," Liu Yan exploded in anger directly and cursed.
"And that Liu Huaixin actually colluded with Yao Jun to harm us," Yan Jinming said with a cold voice. His expression was grave.
"Yao Jun probably gave him some benefits. If not, he won't create trouble for us for no reason," Lin Zhan said.
"What should we do now? We aren't able to deal with the high-level dark apparition alone. However, Liu Huaixin is from the military. He gave an order, so we have to complete it." Yan Jinyue was distressed.
"We will put on a show for them." Wang Teng smiled mysteriously.
"Put on a show?" Lin Zhan and the others looked at him unconsciously. They were confused and curious.
"Stop leaving us hanging. Hurry up and say it." Liu Yan rolled her eyes.
"We will do this this this, and that that that…" Wang Teng signaled them to come closer before whispering his plan to them.
After some time, they exchanged glances with one another and started chuckling.
"What a good idea. We will make a fool out of them!" Liu Yan said excitedly to Wang Teng.
Lin Zhan's gaze was a little strange. He coughed awkwardly and said, "I think that your plan is workable. However, is your hiding skill really able to fool high-level dark apparitions?"
"My master taught me. It shouldn't be a problem." Wang Teng found an excuse casually.
"You have a master?" Everyone was shocked.
"That's right. My master is a real boss!" Wang Teng continued talking nonsense.
"No wonder you improved so quickly. You have a master and your master is also a boss," Lin Zhan and the others said enviously.
The difference between people was enormous.
Self-taught martial warriors like them didn't have any background or resources. They had to rely on themselves, but it was different for a talented student like Wang Teng. The school and the martial arts academy would automatically provide him with resources. When he entered university, a boss accepted him as the disciple. This treatment was amazing!
They didn't question him anymore. The hiding skill taught by a boss was definitely good enough. There wouldn't be any problem.
Anyway, they hadn't seen any hiding skills before. There were some sold on the internal web of the martial arts academy, but their price was sky-high. They couldn't afford them at all.

The boss just revealed something little, and it was already so high-class. Jealousy caused them to lose their mind!

Chapter 221: A Huge Bat!
After everyone discussed this evil plan… pfft, this ingenious plan, Wang Teng left to act alone again.
Lin Zhan and the others waited on the spot. They couldn't head deeper inside. No one knew how much further they needed to walk before they collided with the high-level dark apparitions. Hence, staying in the original spot and waiting for Wang Teng's news was the best decision.
Also, they needed to cooperate to put up a good show later. They had to conserve their power and strength and practice their acting skills too.
Wang Teng carefully walked on the curvy path. He used the dark Force to cover his entire body and activated his Wave Invisibility skill to hide the movement of the dark Force around him.
That way, even the dark apparitions might not be able to discover his presence.
Honestly, if he didn't have dark Force, he wouldn't dare to execute this plan.
After all, their opponent was high-level dark apparitions. Just in case, Wang Teng raised his Wave Invisibility to the big achievement stage.
Wave Invisibility: 1/1000 (big achievement)
He needed 500 blank attributes to raise it from small achievement to big achievement.
The blank attributes that he accumulated for so long got spent just like that. He would be lying if he said that his heart didn't ache.
However, if he wanted to complete his task well, he needed to sharpen his tools first. He would earn back the 500 blank attributes by collecting more attribute bubbles!
Besides this, he also added 74 blank attributes to his dark Force. Instantly, his dark Force rose from 1-star to 2-star.
Dark Force: 1/500 (2-star)
He would only be able to barely complete what he had to do with a 2-star dark Force. If the dark Force wasn't strong enough, he might reveal his true form in front of the high-level dark apparition…
The scene would probably be a little awkward… right?
Fortunately, he had picked up many blank attributes after killing all the Black Wind Bandits just now. With the addition of the blank attributes from the Gale Mantis, he managed to collate enough for his uses.
He felt the changes in his body and smiled gently. His confidence was at an all-time high.
Wang Teng advanced one battle technique from small achievement to big achievement and one Force from 1-star to 2-star in a short span of time. The speed of improvement was astonishing. Others wouldn't dare to dream of this possibility.
Since he activated his Wave Invisibility skill, when he used his Steps of Gale, he felt as though he had really turned into a wisp of wind. Outsiders wouldn't believe that someone was walking on this path.
Suddenly, Wang Teng stopped in his tracks. The scene in front of him had broadened.
This was a huge karst cave. There were all kinds of strange limestones, and occasional sounds of water dripping could be heard. The sound echoed in the cave, causing the cave to feel exceptionally wide. At the same time, a cold and humid wave blew on his face.
Wang Teng kept close to the wall of the cave and squatted down. He didn't move. He activated his Spiritual Sight and scanned the cave.
However, he didn't discover the presence of any dark apparitions.
Could it be that the Spiritual Sight can't see high-level dark apparitions? Wang Teng was confused, and his expression turned grave.
He scanned the cave once again. Before discovering the trace of the high-level dark apparition, he wouldn't move recklessly.
Wang Teng scanned the cave five times until his eyes turned a little sore. He had no choice but to rest for a while. Suddenly, a thought flashed past his mind. He raised his head abruptly and looked up.
A thick ball of black light was hiding in a corner of the top of the cave.
Wang Teng gasped in fear.
Looking at the thickness of this black light, this dark apparition must be at least 5-star.
If the Tiger Warrior Team had barged into this place unknowingly without any preparations, with their ability, they would be sending themselves to their deaths!
Borrowing a knife to kill a man!
Leaving no traces behind!
Liu Huaixin and Yao Jun's plan was indeed very good.
At this moment, despite using his Wave Invisibility skill to its maximum, Wang Teng's entire body tensed up uncontrollably. He didn't dare to move a single inch.
5-star, and it was the dark apparition that was extremely hard to handle.
Wang Teng didn't have any confidence!
However, he was thinking too much. The dark apparition hadn't noticed his presence.
Wang Teng tried moving for some distance. The dark apparition didn't see him, which relaxed a little. He carefully entered the karst cave, hid behind a rock, and spied on the dark apparition…
Once he saw the appearance of the high-level dark apparition, Wang Teng's eyes widened in surprise. He was shocked.
What a huge bat!
The high-level dark apparition in front of him didn't resemble the low-level dark apparition he met before. The low-level dark apparition looked like a ghost. On the other hand, this dark apparition looked like a human. The only difference was the pale and white face as well as the wings that were kept beside its body.
Why does this high-level dark apparition look like a… vampire?
Wang Teng had many ideas of how the high-level dark apparition would look like. But, he never thought that this would be its appearance.
It has wings so it can fly. This makes it harder to deal with. Wang Teng's expression became grimmer as time passed. However, he remembered the plan he had discussed with his teammates. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips. No matter what, we will let Liu Huaixin and the others take the front. If we kill this high-level dark apparition, it will be amazing. If we can't, we have to run away.
Liu Huaixin and the others moved against them first, so when he tricked them, he felt no pressure at all.
However, he knew that dark apparitions were the public enemy of the human race. General Shen from Yong City had also told him so. If he met one, he had to try his best to kill it. If not, he better run.
If there was a chance, Wang Teng didn't mind acting.
Of course, he wouldn't force himself. Attempting the impossible wasn't an act of heroism; it was stupid!
After making up his mind, Wang Teng observed his surroundings again to ensure that there were no other high-level dark apparitions.
One was enough to give them a headache. If another one appeared, there was no need for them to even attempt to fight.
Wang Teng went back on the same path and joined his teammates. He told them what he saw.
"That dark apparition is hard to deal with. We can move another 300 meters ahead, but we can't delve any further. I'll go to Liu Huaixin's side to check their situation," Wang Teng said.
"Okay." Lin Zhan's expression was stern as he nodded.
He had received a huge blow this time. He just broke through to 4-star soldier level and was prepared to have a big go at it. However, he seemed to have become a burden now. He couldn't do anything, and it made him extremely frustrated.
Wang Teng went back to the junction. His gaze alternated between the middle path and the right path for a few seconds. Then, he moved his feet and silently dashed onto the path in the middle.
Compared to Yao Jun, Liu Huaixin was worth noticing more.
Wang Teng executed his Steps of Gale and traveled secretly for more than two hundred meters at a fast speed. The corpse of a huge rat on the ground caught his attention.
Dark Force*4
Spirit*5
Blank Attribute*8
Three attribute bubbles floated above the huge rate peacefully. Wang Teng picked them up. He didn't study them, though, and continued heading forward.
As he ran deeper, more and more corpses of rats were seen on the ground. These large rats were mostly killed by heavy machine guns.
The heavy machine guns most likely had silencers on them. If not, they would have given off loud explosions in the cave.
These silencers weren't the normal mechanical silencers. Instead, it was a silencing ability built by runes. They were harder to detect compared to mechanical silencers.

Chapter 222: The 'Berserk' Battle Technique Of The Giant Apparition
Wang Teng ran all the way in. Along the way, he saw more than ten giant black rat corpses lying in the cave. He had a happy time picking up attribute bubbles.
He looked at his attributes panel. So far, he had received 93 points of dark Force.
Dark Force: 94/500 (2-star)
He had also collected 45 points of spirit and 142 blank attributes.
Spirit: Spiritual realm (29.1/100)
Blank Attribute: 166
As expected, the right way to do things was to stay behind someone and pick up the attributes they left behind.
While pondering to himself, Wang Teng kept nodding his head, as if he was agreeing to himself. He found it reasonable.
At this moment, the sound of fighting could be heard in front. Wang Teng stopped in his tracks before inching forward.
He felt a little puzzled because the sound was too soft. By right, a fight between martial warriors shouldn't be so quiet.
He took a turn in front and saw the situation happening inside. Liu Huaixin was leading his subordinates to surround three tall and muscular figures.
A ray of light laid vertically in the middle of the passage. The runes on the walls were giving off a slight glimmer.
No wonder! The sounds were blocked by the rune array. But why did they have to make this unnecessary move?
Wang Teng felt enlightened and confused at the same time. The silencing effect on their heavy machine guns was a regular component of their military equipment. However, why did they have to set up a sound barrier rune array before engaging in a battle?
He felt a little perplexed. His gaze went past the rune array and into the cave.
The three figures that were surrounded by Liu Huaixin and his men looked like giants. Despite their large frames, their faces were hideous and frightening. They were dressed coarsely. It seemed as though they had peeled off the skin of some wild beasts and wore it as clothes after some simple sewing.
The exposed skin was dark green in color with some black patterns on it. Their bones were massive, and their figures were enormous. They looked a little hunchbacked. Their heads were twice the size of a normal human head. Their faces were ugly, and you could see their fangs clearly. Their eyes were as big as brass bells, and their yellowish-brown pupils were filled with brutality and ruthlessness.
This creature… is a kind of dark apparition too? Wang Teng was shocked. He felt that he had gained more insights into the world.
Including this giant dark apparition, he had seen three forms of dark apparitions already!
Currently, besides the three dark apparitions, four more were lying on the ground. However, they seemed dead.
Some of the military martial warriors seemed to have sacrificed their lives in the battle. They had to pay some price to kill those four dark apparitions!
Around twenty attribute bubbles were floating around the corpses. Wang Teng used his spiritual power to pull them over.
He picked them up.
Fire Force*10
Earth Force*6
Blank Attribute*14
Dark Force*8
Spirit*12
He received 42 points of fire Force, 36 points of metal Force, 28 points of water Force, 56 points of earth Force, 33 points of wood Force, 48 points of dark Force, 70 blank attributes, and 30 points of spirit.
The gains were terrific!
There was no change in his realm, so Wang Teng didn't check his attributes carefully. He turned his gaze to the battlefield.
Under the attacks of Liu Huaixin and his men, the wounds on the three dark apparitions kept increasing. Black blood stained their entire bodies, but they didn't seem to know what was fatigue and pain. They shouted angrily and swept their weapons, which looked like spiked clubs, horizontally. The military martial warriors were forced to retreat.
"Retreat, retreat! Damn it. Don't get close to the giant apparition!" Liu Huaixin shouted continuously.
The military martial warriors felt helpless too. They had experienced the brutal strength of these 'giant apparitions.' If the clubs slammed on their bodies, even if they were 2-star martial warriors, their bones would shatter under the force. Hence, they didn't dare to get too close.
The passageway in front was not small, but it became a little crowded with so many people fighting. The people weren't able to stretch their bodies fully.
At first, they could use their heavy machine guns to their advantage and shoot the 'giant apparitions' from a safe distance. However, these 'giant apparitions' had thick skins that could resist the bullets' penetration. The military martial warriors paid a heavy price because they had rashly charged towards the 'giant apparitions'.
So they are indeed giant apparitions! Wang Teng's eyes shimmered.
A few minutes later, two more of the giant apparitions were killed. The final giant apparition was a spent force. Wang Teng thought that it was going to die soon.
To his surprise, the giant apparition suddenly screamed in anger, and its aura surged. It pounced on Liu Huaixin and his subordinates fearlessly.
"This is bad. It is putting up a desperate fight. Dodge!" Liu Huaixin's expression changed as he yelled.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
A military martial warrior got grabbed by his arm. With a tearing sound, his entire arm was ripped off his body. Then, the giant apparition slapped him with his hand and sent him flying. The poor guy slammed into the rock wall at the side and died instantly.
The other military martial warriors turned crazy with grief. They sprayed the bullets with their heavy machine guns while shedding tears. Bullets rained on the giant apparition.
Liu Huaixin held his battle blade and restrained the giant apparition with three other powerful military martial warriors. Force battle techniques were released continuously to prevent the giant apparition from getting close.
Boom!
More than ten minutes later, the giant apparition was finally killed. It fell on the ground with a loud bang, and a few attribute bubbles floated up.
When the battle ended, Wang Teng couldn't help but feel relief for the martial warriors.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the attribute bubbles.
He picked them up.
Dark Force*8
Spirit*6
Dark Force*10
Blank Attribute*12
Spirit*7
Wang Teng gained 40 points of dark Force, 32 points of spirit, and 56 blank attributes.
However, when he collected the last attribute bubble, he was shocked!
Berserk*3
As the attribute bubble merged into his body, Wang Teng learned its uses.
This was a battle technique attribute bubble. Just as the name suggested, the user would enter a berserk state when this battle technique was used. He would be able to release two to three times of his usual ability within a short period of time.
This attribute bubble came from the last giant apparition. Wang Teng guessed that this berserk technique was the reason why it was suddenly able to unleash so much power in its final desperate attempt.
Speaking of it, he had to thank Liu Huaixin and his men for forcing the giant apparition into a corner. If not, he wouldn't be able to receive this battle technique.
They are good people! Wang Teng couldn't help but comment.
If Liu Huaixin knew that Wang Teng was hiding behind them secretly and picking up attributes without wasting any effort while they were fighting for their lives in front, he might die of anger.
Although they had killed the giant apparition successfully, Liu Huaixin's expression was horrid. Around half of the military martial warriors he brought along were dead. The ones left were more or less injured. Their battle ability had deteriorated greatly. It would be difficult for them to tackle the high-level dark apparition!
"Let's rest on the spot and recuperate. Half an hour later, we will head to the tunnel on the left!" Liu Huaixin said with a gloomy expression. He pondered for a moment before giving his order.
The military martial warriors quickly sat down and recuperated. They didn't dare to waste any time.
As for Liu Huaixin, he observed his surroundings and touched the wall. Then, he knocked a piece of black gemstone off the wall. A hint of happiness finally appeared on his face.

Chapter 223: Sigh, Hardworking People Won't Rest For Even A Second
When he saw Liu Huaixin knocking a piece of black gemstone off the wall, Wang Teng stopped in his tracks. He was just about to leave.
Ore mine?!
Wang Teng was astounded. Then, he understood everything.
He finally found the reason for the series of Liu Huaixin's weird actions.
Their mission wasn't simply to kill the dark apparitions. Taking over this ore mine was their primary objective.
Obviously, Liu Huaixin had kept this news from them.
He didn't want to attract other people's attention to this place. Thus, he sent the Tiger Warrior Team and the Wolf Fang Team away and set up the rune array.
There was another thing that Wang Teng found strange all this while.
This was a dangerous mission. Why did the military send so few people? Why did they have to enlist their martial warrior team?
Now, the answer was clear!
They were in the Xingwu Continent. If too many martial warriors were sent, it would attract the attention of the various factions in the Xingwu Continent. At that time, it would be hard to gain ownership of this ore mine.
All in all, this situation was caused because of the many worries the military had. At the same time, they coincidentally pulled the Tiger Warrior Team in because they were nearby.
Even without Yao Jun's instigation, when the two parties met, Liu Huaixin would still enlist the Tiger Warrior Team because he didn't have enough people on his side.
But, Liu Huaixin would not send them to their deaths since they were both from Earth. He would focus on his task.
But, humans were always selfish.
Yao Jun gave him an offer he couldn't reject. To a young master from an elite family like Yao Jun, it might be nothing, but to Liu Huaixin, this was an important bargaining chip for him to climb higher. Hence, he could only let the Tiger Warrior Team suffer… by dying!
For a moment, a myriad of thoughts and ideas flashed through Wang Teng's mind. He touched his chin, and his eyes glimmered. Then, he went back and exited the passageway. He entered the path on the right.
Liu Huaixin and his team would rest for at least half an hour. He had ample time to go out and collect another batch of attributes.
Sigh, hardworking people won't rest for even a second!
The path on the right was littered with the corpses of giant black rats. These giant rats could be found in all three passageways. If someone oblivious entered, they might think that this was a rat's nest.
The Wolf Fang Team was an elite team among the low-rank martial warrior teams. Thus, all its members were 3-star soldier-level martial warriors. Dealing with these giant rats was a piece of cake for them.
Wang Teng walked and picked up the floating attribute bubbles along the way.
Dark Force*5
Spirit*6
Dark Force*3
Blank Attribute*9
These giant rats were all contaminated with dark Force. However, they were not dark apparitions. They could at most be called dark creatures. But, the Force they dropped was all dark Force. This allowed Wang Teng's dark Force to rise quickly.
Before he could reach the end of the passageway, he met the returning Wolf Fang Team.
Although they suffered some injuries, they seemed fine. However, Yao Jun was cursing all the way. He was obviously in a bad mood. When they were killing the rat king just now, his clothes… got dirty.
Other martial warriors would never be so 'delicate' like him!
A tinge of helplessness flashed past Chong Liang's eyes. This young master wasn't easy to serve.
The group walked over without noticing Wang Teng, who was hiding in the dark.
Wang Teng also ignored them. He quickly ran into the depth of the passageway.
After some time, he saw a giant rat that was twice as large as the other black giant rats. It was beheaded, and its body was lying horizontally in the middle of the path.
So this is the rat king they were talking about!
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. He looked at the rat king's body. A few bigger attribute bubbles were floating silently above it.
He picked them up.
Dark Force*46
Spirit*35
Blank Attribute*50
Good riddance!
Wang Teng was honestly a little surprised. The attributes dropped by this rat king alone were comparable to the ones dropped by seven to eight normal giant rats.
A few other giant rat corpses were lying around the rat king. Wang Teng didn't forget to pick up their attribute bubbles.
Then, he went back immediately.
The gains he made on this trip were huge. He had received 335 points of dark Force, 88 points of spirit, and 280 blank attributes.
As the dark Force seeped into his body, Wang Teng shuddered.
The abundance of dark Force surged from his second Force nucleus. It flowed up his spine and congregated inside his third Force nucleus.
Dark Force 3-star—achievement unlocked!
Dark Force: 17/1000 (3-star)
In less than a day, Wang Teng's dark Force had risen from 1-star to 3-star soldier level. This speed was extremely frightening!
Also, his spirit attribute advanced by a huge level too.
Spirit: Spiritual realm (44.1/100)
Wang Teng could feel the spiritual power in his mind getting stronger. It even got thicker and stickier.
He had a premonition. If he used his spiritual power to control his Shooting Star Spiral now, the power would be astonishing. If he caught his opponent unaware, he might even be able to kill a 5-star soldier-level martial warrior.
However, he would need to practice it during a real battle to see if it worked out or not.
Wang Teng came back to the forked road and saw Yao Jun, Chong Liang, and their team members.
But, Liu Huaixin wasn't out yet. Yao Jun was preparing to enter the path in the middle.
"Young Master Yao, I don't think that this is appropriate." Chong Liang hesitated. He could see that Liu Huaixin didn't want them to enter the middle path. If he entered without careful consideration and provoked Liu Huaixin, he might offend the military indirectly.
The authority of the military wasn't an ornament!
"What are you afraid of? Liu Huaixin didn't say that we can't enter. If he asks, you can just pretend that you didn't know anything.
"Also, don't you find them very secretive? I guess there must be some good stuff inside. Don't you want to take a look?"
Yao Jun appeared nonchalant. As he spoke, he walked into the middle passageway.
"This…" Honestly, Chong Liang was a little curious. However, he decided not to follow Yao Jun. Compared to Yao Jun, they didn't have any background or people supporting them. If something really happened, Yao Jun would be fine, but the military would vent their anger on them. Weren't they looking for death?
But, not long after Yao Jun entered the middle path, he came back. He seemed a little embarrassed.
Behind him were Liu Huaixin and the other military martial warriors. They were covered in blood and had a malicious look on their faces.
Chong Liang secretly felt happy in his heart when he saw Yao Jun suffering a setback. But, he didn't display it on his face. He hurriedly went forward to greet Liu Huaixin.
"Squad Leader Liu."
"Yes." Liu Huaixin nodded. He asked, "Is your side taken care of?"
"All the giant rats contaminated by the dark Force have been killed, including the rat king," Chong Liang replied.
"Not bad," Liu Huaixin praised him. Then, he frowned and continued, "There's no news from the Tiger Warrior Team until now. It looks like they have met some trouble. The high-level dark apparition didn't charge out, so this means they didn't fail completely. It's time for us to enter."
"Why don't we wait a while longer? Let's wait until the dark apparition kills them before we act." Yao Jun was smiling, but the words he said were ruthless and cruel.
Chong Liang and the others felt a chill running down their spines.
Liu Huaixin remained indifferent. He glanced at Yao Jun and said, "Let's go in first. We will decide if we should act based on the situation."
Yao Jun shrugged. He didn't say anything in reply.
The group entered the passage on the left under Liu Huaixin's lead. They thought that they had everything under control, but they could never imagine what was waiting for them.

Chapter 224: Trap!
Wang Teng recorded the conversation between Yao Jun and Liu Huaixin. Then, he entered the path on the right before them and met up with Liu Huaixin and his team.
"Let's prepare. They are coming in."
Wang Teng said as soon as he saw them.
Lin Zhan, Liu Yan, and the others felt their hearts trembling. They replied in low voices, "Okay."
Under Wang Teng's lead, they quickly ran deep into the cave. When they were about to reach the karst cave, Wang Teng signaled them to stop.
"We are almost there. Later, I will use my concealing skill to hide your auras. You must not resist," Wang Teng spoke to them using voice transmission.
Lin Zhan and the others nodded.
First, Wang Teng used his Wave Invisibility skill to hide the fluctuations caused by the dark Force. Then, he attached the dark Force to the surface of everyone's body and hid their figures completely.
This is so interesting!
Lin Zhan and the others felt their bodies merging with the dark. They thought that it was some high-class concealing skill. They would never have imagined that this was the effect of the dark Force.
Then, everyone silently sneaked into the karst cave and found a hiding spot.
This was the first time Lin Zhan and the others saw a high-level dark apparition. They were flabbergasted and found it a little unbelievable. They didn't think that the high-level dark apparition would look like this.
Wang Teng signaled them to not act rashly. Then, he parted with them and returned to the passageway.
He had left enough dark Force on Lin Zhan and his teammates. At the same time, the Wave Invisibility skill he exerted could last for a few minutes.
During this window, Wang Teng must guide the dark apparition to Liu Huaixin and his gang as fast as possible.
On the other side, Liu Huaixin had already brought Yao Jun and the others to the second half of the passageway. They were only 200 meters away from the karst cave.
"Strange, why aren't there any sounds? Has the Tiger Warrior Team been annihilated?" Chong Liang suddenly said.
"Be careful. If the Tiger Warrior Team is exterminated, the dark apparition will be more vigilant. If it's hiding in the passageway, we will get ambushed easily," Liu Huaixin frowned and said.
Everyone raised their guards and walked in carefully.
Almost there! Wang Teng gauged their distance and sniggered in his heart.
He then turned back to the entrance of the karst cave. He congregated Force on the battle sword in his hand and slashed it forward.
"Bang!"
The glow of the sword struck the position where the high-level dark apparition was at powerfully. However, Wang Teng saw the black shadow flashing, and the dark apparition disappeared.
Wang Teng's heart jumped. He didn't stick around to find its next location. Instead, he turned around and ran immediately.
"What happened?" The sudden loud explosion caused Liu Huaixin and the others' expressions to change. They were stunned.
Everything was fine a second ago. Why was there suddenly an explosion? Could it be that the Tiger Warrior Team didn't get wiped out? Were they still fighting?
Before they knew what was happening, they saw a black shadow charging towards them from the darkness in front.
The chilly and eerie aura spread out in the passageway.
"High-level dark apparition!" Liu Huaixin turned pale with fright. He shouted in panic, "Get ready to engage!"
As he spoke, he had already slashed the battle blade in his hand at the black shadow that was charging at them.
The military martial warriors were the first to react. The powerful bullets spurted towards the dark apparition.
The members of the Wolf Fang Team reacted a tad bit slower. Fortunately, with the military martial warriors spearheading the attack, it gave them time to respond.
"Kill!"
Chong Liang shouted and executed his battle technique immediately. He aimed it at the black shadow.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, a scream of agony was heard.
The black shadow managed to evade all the attacks and caught a member of the Wolf Fang Team. Then, it scurried up to the top of the passageway and twisted the neck of the martial warrior. It threw the corpse at the people below.
The martial warrior was standing beside Yao Jun a moment ago. All he saw was a flash of the black shadow. When the person screamed in despair and was caught, Yao Jun shuddered in fright. He felt his head turning numb and cold sweat dripping down his entire body.
"Damn it, what is this?" Yao Jun couldn't help but curse. He shrunk into the crowd, afraid to take any risk.
The others had no time to bother about him. All their attention was on the high-level dark apparition. They kept hurling attacks one after another at the dark apparition. All kinds of skills were put on full display.
Everyone, fight properly. I will cheer for you! Wang Teng hid in the dark like a sly and sinister fellow.
Then, he returned to the karst cave and met up with Lin Zhan and his teammates.
"The high-level dark apparition is too powerful. Liu Huaixin and the others might not be its match," Lin Zhan said with a grave expression.
"You're right. I saw its speed just now. I almost got a heart attack," Liu Yan clutched her chest and said with lingering fears.
"Shall we go and help?" Yan Jinming asked.
"The dark apparition is extremely dangerous and harmful. It's best to kill it as soon as possible," Lin Zhan looked at Wang Teng and said.
"We will lay an ambush here. With their ability, they will be able to retaliate. There's a high chance that this dark apparition might be forced back into this karst cave. We will take it by surprise and grab the opportunity to land the final blow," Wang Teng said.
"Alright." Lin Zhan nodded.
The few of them hid once again and waited for the dark apparition to come back to its cave.
Actually, Wang Teng had left out a sentence. If the dark apparition didn't come back, they wouldn't need to risk their lives to fight with it.
Wang Teng kind of hoped that it wouldn't come back.
There were two possible outcomes for that.
First, Liu Huaixin failed. The high-level dark apparition would be worried that something had happened to the ore mine, so it would go to check things out.
Second, Liu Huaixin and the others killed it successfully, and all troubles came to an end.
Unfortunately, things did not happen as he wished…
Boom!
A loud explosion suddenly occurred at the entrance of the cave.
Wang Teng sighed. He saw the high-level dark apparition rushing into the karst cave.
Liu Huaixin and the others followed closely behind it. But, there were fewer of them. They seemed to have suffered heavy losses.
"Attack!"
Lin Zhan immediately launched an attack. He waved the battleaxes in his hand and aimed for the dark apparition. Golden rays congregated around the axes.
The high-level dark apparition didn't expect someone to be lying in ambush inside the cave. It was caught off guard and got chopped. It fell from the air.
Liu Yan shot alloy bullets from the heavy machine gun in her hand. She was aiming at the wings of the dark apparition. She wanted to damage its wings first.
She expected to hear the sound of bullets entering the flesh, but it didn't happen. Instead, the sound of metals clanging was heard.
"So hard!' Liu Yan's expression changed slightly.
"Attack its head and heart!" Liu Huaixin looked at them expressionlessly and shouted.
The Yan siblings were just about to act. When they heard Liu Huaixin's voice, they aimed their blade and sword at the high-level dark apparition's heart.
Lin Zhan followed up his victory with hot pursuit and smashed his battleaxes at the dark apparition's head.
Liu Huaixin and the others didn't slack either. Their attacks followed closely and engulfed the dark apparition.
Boom!
The limestone around the cave exploded, and dust flew everywhere. Due to the intense battle, airwaves swept through the cave. No one could see what was happening inside.
This is it!
Wang Teng saw the chance. A ray of light flew out from his sleeve and rose into the sky. It was so fast that no lingering shadows could be seen.
I found you!
Using the tracking function of his Shooting Star Spiral, he aimed for the heart of the dark apparition. Under its astounded gaze, the spirals pierced through its heart.

Chapter 225: Huge Loot!
The second his heart was pierced, the noble dark apparition's eyes were filled with innocence. His feelings were complicated, and he seemed exceptionally shocked…
He wanted to ask: Why?
Why did I die in the hands of weaklings like you when I am so strong?
Director, this script isn't right!
He opened his mouth and tried to scream one last time. However, no sound was made. He fell to the ground and died.
The cave turned quiet. There was a fleeting moment of awkwardness.
The expression on Liu Huaixin's face and the gesture of his hand were both narrating a single comment—Are you kidding me!
We fought with all our might and risked our lives to try to kill this dark apparition. So many people died, but in the end, we didn't manage to kill it?
Yet, Lin Zhan and his team managed to get rid of it with just a single round of ambush?!
Were they too weak?
Everyone carefully gathered around the high-level dark apparition after they confirmed that it hadn't moved for a long time.
There was a huge hole where the heart of the high-level dark apparition was. The hole went the entire way from the front to the back.
Wang Teng's gaze flickered slightly when he saw the wound.
He chose to attack the heart not only because it was a fragile and a weaker spot. Rather, the main reason was that the Yan siblings had aimed for his heart too.
He used his Shooting Star Spiral to break the defense of the high-level dark apparition. Then, it penetrated his heart, and the attacks of the Yan siblings followed closely thereafter. The hits one after another wrecked the wound.
If not, based on the Yan sibling's abilities, they might not have been able to hurt the high-level dark apparition.
But, this way, they had the best of both worlds. Other people wouldn't be able to see that the injury was caused by the Shooting Star Spiral.
Next, his gaze landed on the transparent bubbles floating above the high-level dark apparition.
Hehe, it's time to pick up attribute bubbles again!
A small devil seemed to have appeared behind Wang Teng's head. It was rubbing its hands excitedly…
He picked them up.
Dark Force*120
Intermediate stage dark talent*1
Spirit*50
Bewitch*15
Handsomeness*30
What the f*k!
What a huge loot!
Wang Teng was honestly astounded. This high-level dark apparition had dropped an abundance of attribute bubbles. There were many good attributes inside.
He had gained 120 points of dark Force. This was the first time he had received so many points of dark Force in one go.
Dark Force: 137/1000 (3-star)
Then, there was the intermediate stage dark talent.
In the past, Wang Teng had gotten the beginner stage dark Force. Now, his stage advanced by a rank. He immediately felt that he had a stronger grasp and smoother control of his dark Force. If he were to cultivate now, his speed of cultivation would increase tremendously.
Next, it was the 50 points of Spirit.
Spirit: Spiritual realm (49.1/100)
Further down—Bewitch*15!
Wang Teng looked at his attributes panel. This was a skill attribute.
Bewitch, just as its name implied, was a skill that could bewitch the hearts of people. It was similar to hypnosis. However, it seemed a little more high-class.
This skill will have many uses! Wang Teng touched his chin. The corners of his lips went up uncontrollably as he gave an evil smile.
Finally, there were 30 points of Handsomeness. Honestly, when Wang Teng saw this attribute, he was stunned.
What kind of setting is this? Why is he dropping a Handsomeness attribute?
Also, this was dropped by that vampire-like dark apparition.
Is he very handsome?
Is he more handsome than me?
He lowered his head and sized up the pale and handsome face of this vampire. He didn't die in vain!
The others didn't notice the slight changes in Wang Teng's expression.
Lin Zhan patted Yan Jinming's shoulder happily when he noticed that the dark apparition had died in the hands of his team members. He smiled and said, "The two of you made a great contribution."
Yan Jinming and Yan Jinyue were a little confused. They found everything unbelievable.
Didn't everyone say that the high-level dark apparitions were very powerful?
Why did it die after a single strike? Hello, what is happening?
Wang Teng smiled. He didn't expose them, but he would definitely educate them in the future. If not, they might really think that high-level dark apparitions were easy to deal with. If they attacked one rashly in the future… the possibility of them dying was really high. He would have committed a huge crime if that happened.
"Hmph!" Liu Huaixin snorted with a gloomy expression.
They understood clearly how difficult it was to fight with high-level dark apparitions. Now, when they saw Lin Zhan and his team members revealing a 'he is so easy to deal with' expression, their mood turned really bad.
He felt that Lin Zhan and his team members were just lucky. They had picked up the fruits of the military martial warriors' labor.
The passageway had limited space, so it didn't allow the vampire dark apparition to execute its speed. That was why it retreated to the cave when it had the chance. In the karst cave, it would be able to make use of the special terrain inside. Once the vampire dark apparition unleashed his full speed, he would be much harder to deal with.
However, Lin Zhan and his team members attacked the dark apparition the instant it entered the cave and caught it off guard. As a result, they were lucky and managed to kill it.
"Squad Leader Liu, what happened to you? Why do you seem unhappy?" Wang Teng asked even though he knew the answer.
"You're asking me?" Liu Huaixin said coldly, "I asked you to clear the passage on the left. Why are you hiding here instead? Do you know that I can charge you for disobeying orders based on your actions!"
The expression of the other team members changed when they heard this.
However, Wang Teng replied calmly, "You can't make false claims. Did you see us not fighting? The high-level dark apparition was too strong, so we accidentally let it escape. Our team also got injured when we were fighting against it."
Lin Zhan and the others understood his intention and revealed the wounds on their bodies. They gave an 'I feel wronged, but I'm not going to say anything' look.
They were possessed by drama kings at this moment.
Wang Teng continued with righteous indignation, "Also, our team killed the high-level dark apparition while bearing with the worsening of our injuries. We made a huge contribution!"
Liu Huaixin was so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood.
What injury? You were all full of vigor a moment ago, but now, your faces are pale, and y'all look as though you are going to faint any moment. Can you be a little more fake?
How dare you come out and act with such poor acting skills!
You even want a huge contribution? Contribution your head!
"You're lying. The high-level dark apparition is very powerful. We couldn't deal with it even when there are so many of us. How did you manage to survive for such a long time? You must have run away. You didn't fight with the high-level dark apparition and went to hide instead," Yao Jun suddenly pointed at Wang Teng and shouted.
Wang Teng suddenly smiled. But, there were no fluctuations of emotions in his eyes. He looked at Yao Jun and said, "Young Master Yao, are you saying that the only way for us not to defy the order is to die?"
"You…" Yao Jun wanted to open his mouth.
"Yao Jun, be careful of what you say!" Liu Huaixin's expression changed as he shouted coldly.
Yao Jun knew that he had said the wrong thing. He glanced at Liu Huaixin and didn't continue.
Wang Teng scoffed. He ignored Yao Jun and turned to Liu Huaixin. He asked, "Do you admit that our Tiger Warrior Team made a huge contribution?"
The martial warriors that got enlisted temporarily had to bear a huge risk. That was why the military often gave many rewards to these martial warriors. If they made a huge contribution during the enlistment period, their rewards would increase.
The Tiger Warrior Team had killed a high-level dark apparition. This was a huge merit.
"I'm not the one who decides if you have made a huge contribution. I have to report to my superiors in the end and let the higher authorities evaluate," Liu Huaixin said calmly without any expression.

Chapter 226: F*k That Wang Teng! F*k The Tiger Warrior Team!
"In that case, we will wait for your good news." Wang Teng didn't probe further since Liu Huaixin had already given his reply. After all, if it was their reward, it would be theirs. There were so many people at the scene. No one could deny it.
Wait for what good news!
The veins on Liu Huaixin's forehead bulged out. He felt that he would die of cerebral thrombosis if he continued talking to Wang Teng.
Lin Zhan and the other team members couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief secretly when they noticed Wang Teng gaining the upper hand in the conversation with Liu Huaixin. They wiped the cold sweat on their forehead.
They were planning to trick Liu Huaixin from the start. Even though he was the one who wanted to harm them at first, they still felt a little guilty.
But, it was obvious that Liu Huaixin would have to swallow this unhappiness.
Lin Zhan and the others couldn't help but glance at Wang Teng. This fellow had such a harmless face and a refreshing smile… my foot!
This brat is indeed a sly person!
"Take the high-level dark apparition's corpse. Let's pack up and go!" Liu Huaixin's expression was grave. He gave his order to the subordinates that were fortunate enough to survive.
So many of their men were killed, but the credit wasn't theirs. Just thinking about this was enough to make them crazy.
No, he must not let them gain this advantage.
Also, the Tiger Warrior Team must have realized that he tricked them into dealing with the high-level dark apparition. A grudge between them was formed.
It wasn't something that could be forgiven with a few sentences. Cut the weeds and dig up the roots. If he didn't annihilate all of them, he would feel uneasy.
When he turned his head, a savage expression appeared on Liu Huaixin's face.
Yao Jun was unwilling to let them go. Hatred flashed past his eyes. He followed behind Liu Huaixin and walked out of the karst cave.
He felt that Wang Teng and his team were the ones who had caused him to be in such a disheveled state. He almost lost his life there.
There was a saying: all the mistakes were the faults of other people!
Don't deny it. There's no use in denying it. I won't listen!
The unluckiest people were the Wolf Fang Team.
Besides Chong Liang, all the other team members of the Wolf Fang Team were killed by the high-level dark apparition. All that was left of the Wolf Fang Team was him, a lone general without an army.
Chong Liang was on the brink of tears.
Your bosses are fighting, but an innocent bystander like me is implicated. Who am I supposed to seek justice from!
Lin Zhan patted his shoulder and said sympathetically, "My condolences!"
Liu Yan and the Yan siblings copied his actions. All of them went forward to pat Chong Liang's shoulder. They seemed very compassionate as they spoke to him.
"My condolences!"
"My condolences!"
"My condolences!"
As expected, the nature of humans was copying others?
Chong Liang's face turned green and white with anger. It was fascinating to watch.
Wang Teng and his team members walked out. However, their voices spread over from afar.
"Leader, you're a little naughty!"
"What are you saying? I don't understand. I don't know."
"Pfft!" Chong Liang couldn't suppress the injury on his body anymore. He vomited a mouth of blood, and his face turned white.
F*k that Wang Teng! F*k the Tiger Warrior Team!
What a powerful resentment!
When everyone walked out of the cave, the sky had already turned bright. The night was over.
"You must go back with me," Liu Huaixin looked at Wang Teng and his teammates and said.
"Go back? Where?" Wang Teng frowned and asked.
"To the headquarters of the Crimson Tiger troop!" Liu Huaixin said in a low voice, "We enlisted you for this mission, so we need you to cooperate with us in many areas of explanation."
Wang Teng exchanged glances with his teammates. He nodded and said, "Alright."
Liu Huaixin called the military martial to the side and said something to them. Then, the martial warriors entered the cave again.
After that, Liu Huaixin picked up the high-level dark apparition on the ground.
Suddenly, the corpses disappeared.
"Space ring!" Lin Zhan and the others exclaimed. They immediately noticed the ring on Liu Huaixin's fingers when they saw this scene.
Yao Jun was astonished too. Then, he hurriedly pouted and sneered. "Ignorant!"
"Young Master Yao, you must have seen it before. Unfortunately…" Wang Teng shook his head.
"Unfortunately what?" Yao Jun asked uncontrollably. The moment he spoke, though, he regretted it.
"You might have seen it before, but unfortunately, you don't have it," Wang Teng said with contempt.
"F*k!" Yao Jun's face turned black. He seemed to have suffered great humiliation, almost choking on his own breath.
"Let's go."
Liu Huaixin glanced at them and went down the mountain first.
Liu Huaixin hid his car at a secluded spot at the bottom of the mountain. He sat inside his car and started the rune engine.
"Squad Leader Liu, our vehicle is still at the Red Leaves dwarf tribe. Can you give us a ride?" Wang Teng asked.
His tone caused Liu Huaixin's anger to boil in his heart again. Wang Teng sounded as though it was only natural for him to send them there. He replied coldly, "Get in!"
"Okay!"
Wang Teng and his teammates quickly got into the car.
Liu Huaixin found the path and sped his way there. Very soon, they arrived at the Red Leaves dwarf tribe.
After Ni Ya and the dwarves went back, they didn't rest the entire night. They were anxiously waiting for Wang Teng and his teammates.
After all, the Tiger Warrior Team had helped them overcome a life-or-death crisis. This was a huge favor.
In the early morning, all the dwarves were busy with their own things.
As for Leader Ao Mu, Ni Ya, and the other dwarves, they were anxiously waiting for news in the stone fortress.
"Why aren't they back yet?" Ni Ya paced around the room. She would glance outside the door occasionally with a worried look.
"Ni Ya, stop walking in circles. I'm getting dizzy because of you," Leader Ao Mu shook his head and said helplessly.
"Grandpa leader, do you think that something happened to them? Those military martial warriors from Earth seemed to be executing some dangerous mission. Why did Wang Teng and his team meet them?" Ni Ya asked in concern.
"Don't worry, Little Ni Ya. Lin Zhan and Wang Teng are really powerful. They will be able to come back safely." Leader Ni Ya comforted her.
"But…"
"Leader, Ni Ya, back, back. They are back!" At this moment, Wa Ke ran in from outside. As he ran, he was shouting excitedly.
"Oh, they are back!" Leader Ao Mu stood up hurriedly.
"They are back? This is great! They are finally back," Ni Ya said happily.
"Come, let's go out and take a look."
Leader Ao Mu led the way out of the stone fortress. They met Wang Teng and his teammates, who were getting out of the car.
"You're fine. This is great!" Ni Ya rushed forward and said happily.
"Hahaha, we are very strong. Why will anything happen to us so easily?" Lin Zhan laughed.
"It's good that you're back. You have been busy the entire night, so you must be hungry. Come into the room quickly and have some food." Leader Ao Mu walked forward with a bright smile.
"There's no need for that. Leader Ao Mu, we still have emergency matters to attend to. We came back just to get our vehicle," Wang Teng explained.
"In that case, we will not keep you," Leader Ao Mu said with pity. Then, he continued, "Wait for a moment."
He turned and said to Ni Ya, "Ni Ya, bring out the things that we have prepared."
Ni Ya nodded and ran into the house. After some time, she came running out with a backpack.
"We are really grateful for your help. You did us a huge favor. We have nothing to repay you, so we can only use these wine and Force stones as our token of appreciation. We hope that you will accept them," Leader Ao Mu said sincerely.
"Oh my, how can I accept this." This was what Lin Zhan said, but his hands were very honest. He took the backpack from Ni Ya.
Wang Teng: …
Pfft, shameless!

Chapter 227: Guards, Take Them Down
On the way back, Lin Zhan and his teammates were elated. Not only did they receive a handsome reward, but they also gained the friendship of the Red Leaves Tribe.
When they left, many dwarves came to send them off and enthusiastically invited them to come and play another day.
Lin Zhan and his teammates agreed readily. After all, they could not waste the delicious food and wine of the dwarf tribe.
Speaking of delicious wine…
Lin Zhan suddenly remembered that Leader Ao Mu told them he was giving them some wine as their reward. His eyes lit up as he opened the backpack. Three jars of wine were sitting inside.
Lin Zhan drove the car and opened the cap of one of the jars. The strong fragrance of wine wafted out. He poured the wine into his mouth.
Then, he burped in satisfaction.
As for no driving while drinking, was this a matter of concern for martial warriors?
"F*k, leader, this is outrageous. How dare you drink it secretly before us?" When Yan Jinming smelled the wine, he popped his head out from the backseat.
"Haha, I'm testing the taste for you. I want to see if Leader Ao Mu fooled us by giving us low-quality wine," Lin Zhan smiled and replied.
"Bullshit. Do you think I'll believe you?" Yan Jinming rolled his eyes and reached out to grab another jar. He hoarded the jar of wine for himself.
Swoosh!
The last jar of wine suddenly flew into the air and landed in Wang Teng's hands.
"I will help myself to the last jar," Wang Teng said with a smile.
"You're still young. Don't learn from those two drunkards," Liu Yan reprimanded him.
"That's right. You are still young. Why are you drinking? Give it to me quickly." Lin Zhan agreed.
"Go away. What era is this? People can get married at 18 years old. Why can't I drink at 17?" Wang Teng glared at Lin Zhan and opened the jar of wine. He cheered with Yan Jinming and happily sipped the wine.
Liu Huaixin drove the car in front and led the way for them.
Along the way, there were open fields and hills everywhere. It had to be said that the Xingwu Continent was incredibly vast. There were still many areas that hadn't been developed, unlike Earth. Signs of humans could be seen everywhere on Earth, besides those places with harsh living environments that were really not suitable for survival.
Of course, this was largely related to star beasts. In the Xingwu Continent, the human race wasn't at the top of the biological chain.
There was a huge number of star beasts, including mighty overlords. They dominated vast pieces of land, and these places were all forbidden grounds for humans.
The wilderness between the forbidden grounds and the human cities was the buffer zone.
Wang Teng and the others met a few more groups of martial warriors wandering around the area. However, everyone went their own way and wouldn't cause trouble for one another under normal circumstances.
They drove for around three hours before they finally arrived outside a fairly small city.
Crimson Tiger City!
This city was named directly after the Crimson Tiger troop. It was different from a trading hub like Yong City.
You could see garrisons stationed all around the Crimson Tiger City. It was a heavily guarded military city!
Liu Huaixin drove his car and entered the Crimson Tiger City from the side. As he got nearer, the ground started to turn black-brown. It looked like… the color of blood after it had seeped into the ground and dried up.
Wang Teng could even smell a faint stench in the air.
They arrived at the main gate. Liu Huaixin displayed his particulars, and the guard at the sentry box let him in.
However, when it was outsiders like Wang Teng, they had to undergo a round of inspection.
Wang Teng realized that these guards were martial warriors too. They were just 1-star soldier-level martial warriors, but when there was a lack of martial warriors in the outside world, allowing them to become guards was extremely extravagant.
Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Wang Teng and his teammates after the inspection.
In the past, Wang Teng was worried that the dark Force in his body would get detected, and he would be taken as some betrayer and killed.
But he was obviously thinking too much.
They entered the Crimson Tiger City together. The buildings and arrangements here were plain and simple. The roads were straight without any complications. There were no high-rise buildings either. The structures here were all two- or three-floors high, and they were made from layering hard rocks or metals.
Wang Teng and his teammates were brought to a one-floor building in the middle of the city. They were given a room to rest in.
"I will go and report the situation to my superior. You can wait here first." After Liu Huaixin finished speaking, he disregarded them and turned around to walk out of the door.
The moment he stepped out, his voice was heard again.
"Yao Jun, come out with me."
Yao Jun sniggered and glanced at Wang Teng and his teammates provokingly. He went out of the door.
"What is this? Why is he leaving us here without saying anything?" Yan Jinming frowned.
"That's right. Why did he call Yao Jun away? Why is he treating us differently?" Liu Yan said furiously.
"Alright, don't talk so much. Since he asked us to wait, let's wait. There's nothing to lose," Lin Zhan said.
"Why did Liu Huaixin call Yao Jun out alone?" Yan Jinyue asked curiously.
"Maybe he wants to record our statements separately like how they interrogate prisoners. He probably wants to prevent us from colluding with one another," Yan Jinming touched his chin and replied.
"F*k, Liu Huaixin is treating us as prisoners?!" Liu Yan's temper exploded immediately.
"There must be something important in the cave. That's why they are so careful." Wang Teng knew what was inside, but he couldn't say it directly.
Who knew? They might be surveillance cameras in the room.
If they learned that he knew the contents of the cave, they could link many things together. He might not even be able to hide the fact that he had tricked Liu Huaixin.
Also, the ore mine was still confidential. He would be causing trouble for himself if they used this reason to imprison him forcefully.
"What Wang Teng said might be right. I feel that they are very secretive. I don't think that they just wanted to kill the dark apparition." Lin Zhan contemplated.
"No matter what, we made a huge contribution. I wonder what rewards they will give us." Liu Yan chuckled.
"Something practical would be the best. The military has many good things," Yan Jinming said excitedly.
"If only they give me a rune gun specially supplied to the military," Liu Yan said.
"Letting us choose a battle technique is not bad either," Lin Zhan smiled.
Wang Teng shook his head when he saw them discussing happily. For some reason, when he saw Liu Huaixin's expression as he walked out of the door, he felt that something terrible was going to happen.
The few of them waited in the resting room for more than half an hour before Liu Huaixin walked in with a military martial warrior who looked around 30 years old. He was muscular, and he had a crew cut.
He glanced at Wang Teng and his teammates with killing intent in his eyes. He then opened his mouth and said, "Based on my subordinate's report, you defied your orders during the execution of the mission and caused a delay in the battle. This resulted in the deaths of more than 20 military martial warriors. Do you know your crime?"
Lin Zhan and his teammates had waited for a long time, but what they received was a series of interrogations. They were instantly dumbfounded.
"We were just not powerful enough, so we let the dark apparition run away…"
Before Wang Teng could finish speaking, the man with a crew cut was already burning in anger. He said coldly, "Enough!"
Their hearts jumped.
The man with a crew cut didn't give them any chances to speak. He waved his hands instantly.
"Guards, take them down!"
A group of military martial warriors crashed in. More than ten black muzzles were aimed at Wang Teng and his teammates.

Chapter 228: Prison Break?
In the cell of the Crimson Tiger Troop.
Clang!
Lin Zhan punched the metal door.
"They locked us up like criminals without even giving us a chance to explain."
"What on earth did Liu Huaixin say?"
Liu Yan, Yan Jinming, and the others gnashed their teeth in anger when they remembered Liu Huaixin's delighted smile after they were escorted to the cell.
A cold gaze flashed past Wang Teng's eyes. He didn't expect Liu Huaixin to have the guts to play tricks on them when he had no evidence.
Or, could it be that the man with a crew cut was his support?
Wang Teng's head started to hurt when he recalled the man's style of doing things.
He was obviously an idiot!
He didn't know what Liu Huaixin said to the man that caused him to be so angry.
That man with a crew cut looked like a hot-tempered person, a person who couldn't tolerate any nonsense.
In front of someone like this, there was no way they could reason with him.
He might even shoot them without considering the consequences in his fit of anger.
Liu Huaixin had probably thought of this, so he came up with this plan and made use of his superior to suppress them.
He must have distorted the truth of what happened and even hid some facts.
If not, the man with a crew cut wouldn't have thrown them in jail without giving him a chance to explain. After all, even if he didn't have the 'sergeant' military rank, he was still a student of the Huanghai Military Academy.
He's already 30 years old. Why is he still as reckless as a 17-year-old? Wang Teng thought to himself helplessly.
I hope that he isn't muddle-headed. If not, we can only force our way out.
However, he knew that this was the headquarters of the Crimson Tiger Troop. There were numerous martial warriors here, so the chances of escaping were very slim.
Wang Teng gave a bitter smile.
"How about we send a message to the martial arts academy?" Liu Yan asked at this moment.
"It's useless. This cell blocks all signals. We can't send any messages out. If I knew this was going to happen, I would have informed the martial arts academy about this matter beforehand," Lin Zhan shook his head and spoke in a regretful tone.
"No one expected them to act so abruptly." Yan Jinming sighed.
The group went silent. None of them expected the Crimson Tiger Troop to be a tiger's den cave. They were able to enter but couldn't go out. They didn't expect matters to come to this state either.
Wang Teng and his teammates were locked up for two days and one night.
On the second night, when the guards of the prison came to send them their dinner, Yao Jun accompanied them.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, is this what you are eating? Looks like you have been living miserably for the past two days!" He looked at their dinner and laughed at their plight.
"Yao Jun!" Lin Zhan and the others glared at him.
"You and Liu Huaixin are the ones behind this, right?" Wang Teng asked calmly.
"So what if we are?" Yao Jun placed his hands in his pocket and said with contempt, "Don't look as though you aren't afraid of death. I hate this kind of person. You are going to die, yet you're still acting."
"Despicable!" Lin Zhan and the others let loose a torrent of abuse when they heard him admitting it.
"Sigh, Leader Lin, you're right. I am despicable. In your next life, remember not to offend a despicable person, especially one that has wealth and power," Yao Jun smiled and said. He didn't seem ashamed of himself.
"What do you want?" Liu Yan said coldly.
"Hey, this lady is so pretty. Unfortunately, you are going to die." Yao Jun gave her a look of pity. He chuckled and said, "I don't want anything. I just came to take one last look at you. After all, you almost became my teammates."
Everyone's face was black when they saw his disgusting attitude.
"A despicable person like you has no right to be my teammate." Liu Yan scoffed.
"That's right. Stop flaunting. We will never accept an evil person like you even if we die," Yan Jinming said.
"I'm giving you face, but you're pushing it!" Yan Jinming's face turned green with anger. He got furious from embarrassment after Liu Yan and Yan Jinming attacked him verbally. He turned around and walked away. "You guys can just stay here and wait for your death!"
"What kind of person is this!" Liu Yan shouted at Yao Jun's back indignantly.
"You've heard what he said. It looks like they are going to execute us tomorrow!" Lin Zhan said with a grave expression.
Everyone turned quiet immediately.
"I never thought that I would die in the hands of our own people, especially the military." Yan Jinming gave a forced smile.
"Don't be in a hurry to give up. We still have a chance," Wang Teng spoke to them using voice transmission.
Everyone's heart trembled.
"Really!" Lin Zhan shouted.
"Shh!" Yan Jinming hurriedly covered his mouth.
Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue glared at him too.
"Don't say it out loud." Wang Teng looked at Lin Zhan speechlessly. He used voice transmission again.
Lin Zhan nodded his head hurriedly before Yan Jinming released him.
Wang Teng glanced around them and said slowly, "Tonight, we will… escape from prison!"
"Escape from prison!"
Everyone's expression changed. They thought that Wang Teng had some good idea, but instead, these were the words they heard from his mouth.
"Wang Teng, are you serious? This isn't a joke," Lin Zhan smiled bitterly and said to him through voice transmission.
"That's right. This is the headquarters of the Crimson Tiger Troop. It's almost impossible to escape." Liu Yan and the others also felt that this wasn't a good idea.
"Have you forgotten about my hiding skill?" Wang Teng reminded them.
"That's right. Wang Teng can fool a high-level dark apparition with his concealing skill. Tricking a normal martial warrior shouldn't be a problem." Lin Zhan agreed with Wang Teng.
"But, there are many powerful warriors in the army. It's not an easy task to fool all of them," Liu Yan hesitated before saying.
"Do you guys have a better idea?" Wang Teng asked.
This sentence was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Liu Yan and the others started favoring the idea of escaping from prison.
Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, let's do it!"
"Let's do whatever we can. We can't just sit here and wait for death anyway," Liu Yan nodded her head firmly and replied.
"I have no objections. Wang Teng has never disappointed us," Yan Jinming smiled and said.
"Me too," Yan Jinyue said.
"Okay!"
A small smile appeared at the edge of his lips when Wang Teng noticed everyone agreeing with his idea. He continued, "In that case, let's discuss the escape plan for tonight…"
They discussed it for an entire hour.
Many brains were better than one. Even more, there were five of them.
They studied the plan together and filled up all the loopholes. They found the best path to escape from prison and came up with an almost perfect plan.
After they finished discussing, they filled up their stomachs with the prison food and waited for time to pass. They didn't care if the food was nasty.
At night, the guards changed shifts, and another two hours passed. Slowly, it reached 1 am in morning.
Wang Teng and his teammates opened their eyes. They were pretending to sleep just now. They glanced at the guard who was leaning against the wall and sleeping.
"Action!"
Wang Teng exchanged glances with his teammates and nodded. His gaze turned serious as his pupils stopped moving and his spiritual power spread out.
A bunch of keys slowly floated out of the guard's pocket…

Chapter 229: The Elder In Cell 99
This big bunch of keys slowly floated out from the guard's pocket…
Although a martial warrior had Force in his body and could move objects that were some distance away, he would never be able to lift an item with such ease.
If that wasn't the case, the martial warrior would have already noticed it based on his acute senses.
So…
Spiritual power!
Lin Zhan and the others' eyes widened in surprise. A lightbulb lit up in their minds, and these two words jumped out almost simultaneously.
Before this, they were wondering what method Wang Teng would use to escape from the cell. Unfortunately, he kept them in suspense and just said that he was highly confident. He asked them not to worry.
Now, they finally knew that this was the method he was going to use!
They were flabbergasted.
This fellow is a monster. It's fine if his cultivation speed is frighteningly fast. But, his spiritual power is awakened too.
They suddenly realized that they had never understood Wang Teng entirely.
How many trump cards was he hiding?
Wang Teng didn't have the time to care about their thoughts. At this stage, he had no choice but to reveal his spiritual power. There was no point in hiding it anymore.
He enveloped the bunch of keys with his spiritual power so that it wouldn't make a single sound. He controlled the keys and let them fly towards him.
Finally, the keys landed on his palm.
Success!
Lin Zhan and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In their nervousness, they had clenched their fists tightly.
There were many keys, but it wasn't difficult to find the right one. The cell number was labeled on the keys.
Wang Teng inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it gently…
Click!
The noise wasn't loud, yet everyone held their breaths uncontrollably. They stared at the guard, who was sleeping soundly, without blinking. At the same time, they listened to the sounds around them.
This was so exhilarating!
Wang Teng had managed to keep his calm throughout the ordeal, but now, he also felt a little nervous.
Luckily, this light noise didn't wake anyone up.
Actually, there weren't many prisoners in this prison. Those that committed minor crimes wouldn't be locked up here. Those with serious offenses had already been executed, so the cells around them were mostly empty.
Wang Teng slowly pulled the door of the cell open. Lin Zhan and the others immediately gathered around him.
Wang Teng was just about to execute his Wave Invisibility and dark Force when his body tensed up abruptly.
"Little brat, come to cell 99 and let me out!" An old and hoarse voice sounded beside his ear without any warning.
Wang Teng's heart almost leaped out of his chest. He couldn't help but curse in his heart. At this moment, all his emotions could be condensed into one word—F*k!
What else could he do?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. But, it was of no avail. He felt extremely frustrated.
"What happened?" Lin Zhan and the others asked when they noticed that he had suddenly stopped walking.
Wang Teng used voice transmission to tell them what happened helplessly.
Their expressions turned gloomy too. They felt so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.
Accidents always caught them when they were unprepared!
Who would have thought that a life-threatening situation like this would happen after they had come up with such a great escape plan?
"What should we do? Should we release him?" Liu Yan asked through voice transmission.
"We don't know what kind of person he is. If he is a ruthless and evil criminal, we will be committing a grave mistake by letting him out," Yan Jinming said.
He wasn't a saint. Everyone understood the hidden meaning behind his words. He was worried that the other party was an evil and extremely powerful person. At that time, even if they escaped from this prison, they would be entering another hell.
"We don't have a choice. Let's get him out first," Wang Teng replied using voice transmission.
Lin Zhan and the others knew that this was their only way out, so they didn't object.
Wang Teng felt his way around the prison. He hid in the dark and knocked the guard unconscious first. Then, he headed deeper inside.
His expression turned more serious as he walked further in. This was because he realized that cell 99 was the last in this prison.
The person who was locked up here must be extremely powerful!
Would it be a blessing or a calamity when he released this person?
He was already standing outside the door of cell 99. Through the gaps in the metal door, he could see a figure sitting cross-legged at the corner of the cell. His hair was hanging loose and his back was hunched.
"You're here!" The old and hoarse voice sounded beside Wang Teng's ear once again. It caused his heart to skip a beat.
He had already activated his Wave Invisibility skill and his dark Force. Yet, the other party could still discover him?!
Wang Teng felt that he had landed himself in huge trouble!
He sighed. He found the keys for cell 99 and opened the door.
In these final few cells, only cell 99 had a prisoner locked up in it. The other cells were empty, so he didn't have to worry about someone seeing him.
Wang Teng entered the cell without a sound. Then, he looked at the figure whose hands and feet were locked with thick chains. For some reason, he found this scene a little familiar.
Ren Woxing!
Are you Sect Leader Ren?[1]
Wang Teng wanted to find the keys for the chains. However, the figure suddenly raised his head, revealing a face full of wrinkles. At the same time, his voice echoed beside Wang Teng's ears once again.
"Don't waste your effort. The keys to the chains are not there."
"How do I release you then?" Wang Teng frowned and asked using voice transmission.
"Come over. Follow my instructions," the elder said.
Wang Teng stood rooted in his spot. He didn't move.
"Why? Are you afraid that I will kill you?" The elder laughed eerily. The laughter reverberated in Wang Teng's mind.
"Of course, I'm afraid. Looking at this formation, you must be extremely powerful. Look at my thin arms and legs. I'm definitely not your match. Who knows? The moment I release you, I might go to heaven immediately," Wang Teng replied.
"You are quite interesting, little brat. There are very few people in the world who admit that they are afraid of death." The elder smiled and continued, "Alright, I will make a martial arts oath. If you release me, I will not kill you. If not, I will get struck by lightning and die a terrible death until none of my bones remain.
"What do you think? Is this enough?"
Wang Teng was slightly convinced. He trusted the elder a little.
He had heard of the martial arts oath before. This thing was a little mysterious. Some people didn't believe it and went against their oath. None of them met a good ending.
Thus, in this martial arts era, you needed to be extremely careful when making a martial arts oath. Normally, no one would go back on their words.
Of course, if the other party wanted to die, there was nothing one could do. You could only admit that you were unlucky if you met a maniac.
"What should I do?" Wang Teng walked forward.
"I know that your spiritual power has been awakened. There's a rune array on the chains. I'll explain the method to you. Follow my instructions and find the node. Use your spiritual power to damage it," as the elder spoke, he pointed a few nodes to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng didn't hesitate anymore. He congregated his spiritual power into needles and stabbed them into the nodes.
A flash of white light was seen. The runes on the chains disappeared slowly.
The happiness on the elder's face got thicker and thicker. When Wang Teng destroyed the last node, he grabbed the chains with his hands and squeezed lightly. The chains turned into a pile of scrap iron.
"Very good, very good. You did very well!" The elder stood up and patted Wang Teng's shoulder. He praised Wang Teng three times repeatedly.
If he wasn't in a cell, he really wanted to laugh out loud.

Chapter 230: The Application Of Spiritual Power
Lin Zhan and the others waited for a long time. They were getting a little agitated.
Suddenly, the prison door in front of them opened silently, and Wang Teng's figure appeared.
"You're back!"
"How's everything?"
Everyone asked anxiously.
Wang Teng tilted his body. They saw the figure of an elder appearing slowly behind him.
"Little Wang, stop wasting time. Escape quickly," the elder said.
Wang Teng nodded. Just when he was about to execute his Wave Invisibility and dark Force on his teammates, the elder said, "Let me do it. Your concealing skill is useful, but you are unable to take care of so many people for a long period of time."
The elder waved his hand. Lin Zhan and the others immediately felt as if there were a layer of outerwear hanging over their bodies. It was a strange feeling.
"Thank you, elder!" Wang Teng said.
"I'm just afraid that you will expose yourself later and ruin my escape." The elder scoffed coldly.
Wang Teng suddenly felt that this elder was actually very helpful even though he pretended to be hostile on the surface.
They didn't hang around any longer. The group of escaped prisoners moved towards the main gate of the prison. Along the way, no one discovered them. Just like that, they swaggered their way through the prison.
There was a resting room beside the main gate, and a few guards were playing poker inside.
"It's your turn. It's your turn. Hurry up and play your card!"
"Don't be anxious. Give me some time to think."
"Hey, is it really alright for us to play poker? If someone sees us, we are dead."
"What is there to be afraid of? Only a newbie like you will be scared. I have been guarding this place for many years. Nothing will happen. No one will come and inspect us…"
Before he could finish speaking, the guard rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The newbie's expression changed entirely.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Just when he was about to get up to check the guard, he heard another two consecutive sounds of people falling to the ground.
He hurriedly turned his head and looked at his other two companions. They were lying unconscious on the ground.
The newbie's face turned white, and his eyes widened in fear.
Didn't they say that nothing will happen?
Can someone tell me what on earth is happening?
His heart pounded furiously. Just as he was about to press the alarm button, someone knocked his head violently. His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
However, before his vision turned black, he finally understood why the other three guards had fainted.
Someone escaped!
Wang Teng couldn't help but roll his eyes too!
This elder was so childish. When he heard them discussing this matter, he decided to tease them.
After taking care of the guards, the group took the keys and opened the prison gate. They walked out.
The sky was dark outside. The moon was shining silver light everywhere, along with a few stars.
The elder stood under the stars and pushed his palm towards the sky. He closed his eyes as if he was feeling something.
"What is he doing?" Lin Zhan couldn't help but ask.
"Shh!" Wang Teng stopped him hurriedly. He used voice transmission to speak to him, "This elder is very strong. Be careful of what you say. You might get killed."
Lin Zhan immediately shrunk his neck. He could tell that the other party wasn't a simple person. When he heard what Wang Teng said, he didn't dare to make any more noise.
After a while, when he noticed that the elder was still posing, Wang Teng got agitated. He went forward and asked cautiously. "Elder, do you think we should leave now?"
The elder opened his eyes and glanced at him.
Wang Teng immediately felt afraid.
Fortunately, the elder didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "Lead the way."
Wang Teng moved through the dark, following the escape route that they had planned in the evening. The group looked like a bunch of thieves sneaking around in the dark.
Martial warriors were patrolling at night in the Crimson Tiger City too. There were lookout posts every few steps they took. Furthermore, every team of martial warriors had heavy machine rune guns on them. If they were discovered, they would be in huge trouble.
Tap, tap, tap.
The orderly footsteps gradually moved away.
Wang Teng and his teammates walked out of the blind spot between the buildings after the patrol left. They ran towards the back of the Crimson Tiger City.
When they first arrived at the Crimson Tiger City, they noticed that the defense at the back of the city was relatively weaker. There were fewer garrisons there compared to the sides and the front of the city.
If they had to find a breach, the back of the city was undoubtedly their only choice.
"Stop!" The elder suddenly raised his hand.
The few of them stopped in their tracks instinctively. Wang Teng looked at the elder curiously. "Elder, what's wrong?"
"Look at the ground." The elder replied coldly, "How are you going to escape if you're so stupid? You almost walked into a trap before you're halfway there."
Wang Teng and the others lowered their heads. With the help of the dim lights from afar, they saw some runes carved on the slab stones on the ground.
"This is… sensor rune!" Wang Teng's expression changed. He recognized the runes instantly.
His rune lessons didn't go to waste. He had picked up some basic rune knowledge, so he was familiar with these sensor runes.
Although the runes on the ground were more complicated than the basic runes he had learned in his lessons, the foundation runes were still the same. The methods might vary, but the principle was the same. Complicated runes were formulated using foundational runes.
"You're quite knowledgeable." The elder was surprised. However, he still reprimanded Wang Teng in a low voice, "But, you are really stupid. You possess the rare spiritual power, and yet, you don't know how to use it. You can divert your spiritual power out of your body and form an 'induction field' around you. These runes won't be able to escape under your eyes."
"Erm, elder, you are right." Wang Teng felt ashamed. Ever since his spiritual power was awakened, no one taught him how to use it. He had groped his way around and thought that he had grasped the essence of the skill. Also, in his battles, he had used his spiritual power to kill his opponents many times. It made him a little arrogant. Now, from the looks of it, he was just a newbie.
"After awakening your spiritual power, you haven't found a master, right?" the elder asked curiously when he saw Wang Teng's expression.
"You're right," Wang Teng replied.
"No wonder!" The elder nodded. He stopped scolding him.
To prevent attracting any attention, they didn't destroy the sensor runes. Instead, they went a few meters around it and found another path.
Along the way, Wang Teng diverted his spiritual power out of his body under the elder's guidance and used it to inspect the area around him for sensor runes.
After his inspection, he realized that there were more than a hundred areas in the Crimson Tiger City that were protected by sensor runes. They were like surveillance cameras. They would get caught if they weren't careful enough.
They also had to evade the patrols that would pass by occasionally. Hence, they unconsciously slowed down a lot.
Fortunately, they managed to stay safe in their escape.
However, at that moment, a shrill alarm rang throughout the entire Crimson Tiger City.
"Did someone notice that we have escaped?!" Everyone's heart jumped.
"Bullshit, it has been a while since we escaped from the prison. How can they not discover it?" the elder said furiously.
"You don't seem anxious at all." Liu Yan couldn't help but argue.
"Why should I be anxious? I'm able to escape anyway." The elder sniggered.
"F*k! You are so sneaky." Liu Yan felt speechless.
"Stop talking. Hide quickly," Wang Teng whispered.
The moment his sentence ended, the lights in the Crimson Tiger City lit up. Very soon, the entire city was lit up until it was as bright as day.
A large number of military martial warriors were sent out to search every nook and cranny…

Chapter 231: The Chief Commander Of Crimson Tiger Troop
The alarm in the Crimson Tiger City blared till their ears hurt. The lights lit up the city, and large numbers of military martial warriors were sent out to search for the escapees.
This was an important military city. No mishaps were allowed to happen. Any problem must be killed in the cradle.
In a building in the middle of the city.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
A middle-aged man with a powerful and frightening aura strode into the office.
"Chief commander!"
"Chief commander!"
"Chief commander!"
Everyone in the office stood up at once and saluted the guy. When they saw the middle-aged man's expression, they immediately got nervous.
This man was the chief commander of the Crimson Tiger Troop—Xiao Nanfeng!
Xiao Nanfeng looked around him and scanned everyone's faces. The general cloak behind him fluttered slightly even though there wasn't any wind. He sat on the host seat and opened his mouth to ask, "Can someone tell me how the prisoners managed to escape from prison?"
Everyone kept as silent as a cold cicada. They lowered their heads. No one dared to speak.
This was the domineering presence of a chief commander!
"Wang Yong, speak!" Xiao Nanfeng's gaze turned to a slightly plump man standing below him.
Wang Yong was drenched in sweat, the muscles on his face trembling uncontrollably. He placed his feet together with a loud tap and saluted the chief commander. He said loudly, "I failed to fulfill my duty. Please punish me!"
Boom!
The moment he finished speaking, the commander's force of presence, which felt like a huge mountain, bore down on him.
Wang Yong's entire body bent over. His face was pale, and his legs kept shaking.
Yet, Xiao Nanfeng had already shown him mercy. If not, Wang Yong would have been forced to kneel on the spot. He would have been greatly embarrassed in front of his comrades.
At this moment, a man beside him stood up and said, "Chief commander, the most important thing now is to catch the escapees. Why don't you give Wang Yong another chance and let him redeem himself?"
The other officers agreed and helped to speak up for Wang Yong. Even if some of them had a bad relationship with Wang Yong, they would just keep quiet at moments like this. Framing your comrades was taboo in the military. Their actions had a strong effect on the chief commander's perception of them.
"Wang Yong, I will give you one more chance," Xiao Nanfeng said calmly. "However, if you can't catch the fugitives, you don't have to come back!"
The overwhelming aura also disappeared with that sentence. He got up, turned around, and left.
He came quickly and left quickly. He didn't stop at all.
"Yes!" Wang Yong replied loudly. He waited for Xiao Nanfeng to leave before he finally raised his head. He could feel that his back was drenched with cold sweat.
"Old Chen, thank you!"
He turned and looked at the man who had helped him just now.
"Hurry up and catch the fugitives. That's the crucial thing," the man waved his hand and replied.
"Okay. If I manage to survive this ordeal, I will treat you to some good wine." Wang Yong rushed out hurriedly after he finished speaking.
Run!
Wang Teng exchanged glances with his teammates. When they saw more and more military martial warriors moving towards this side of the city, they immediately made their decision.
The lights had already lit up a huge patch of the city. Their concealing skill was useful when it was dark, but there was nowhere for them to hide in such a bright environment. Also, there were a huge number of military martial warriors searching for them with a fine comb.
The only method was to run. They were already quite close to the back gate of the Crimson Tiger City. There was still a chance of survival if they forced their way through.
They dashed towards the back gate.
The elder didn't say anything. He just followed behind them in a relaxed manner. He seemed extremely carefree, as though he wasn't trying to escape.
"There they are!"
After passing through a street, a group of military martial warriors, who were patrolling around this area, saw Wang Teng and his friends. They shouted loudly.
"Catch them, don't let them run away!" A huge number of military martial warriors started surging towards the direction where Wang Teng and his teammates were escaping.
"Damn it, we got discovered so quickly."
The group's expressions were ugly. They had tried their best to choose the most secluded path. Yet, they still got noticed by a group of military martial warriors who suddenly appeared at the side of the street.
They ran frantically. The streets of the Crimson Tiger City were all straight and simple. There were no complicated layouts like main roads and small alleys. Thus, no matter how secluded the path was, it was still easy to get spotted.
Also, this was the headquarters of the Crimson Tiger Troop. They were at a numerical disadvantage. It only took a short moment before martial warriors started rushing over from all directions.
"What should we do? We seem to be surrounded," Liu Yan asked as she ran with all her strength.
"We have to fight!" Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and said.
"The people in front, you have been surrounded. Surrender quickly. If not… we'll shoot!" The people opposite them used the loudspeaker to speak to them.
Wang Teng and his teammates didn't care about what he said. Shoot? Things had already reached this stage. Why would they be afraid of their shooting? There was no room for negotiations.
"Kill!"
The group roared in low voices before charging towards the military martial warriors in front. Force exploded from their bodies, forming airwaves in the surroundings. They seemed to have turned into rays of lights as they shot towards the military martial warriors in front.
Although their weapons had been confiscated, they still had been placed in the prison. When they escaped from their cell, they took their weapons back.
Boom!
It was a heated battle.
The military martial warriors didn't expect Wang Teng and his teammates to be so straightforward. The fugitives charged into their group without a shred of hesitation. For a moment, the group of martial warriors was in a state of frenzy. Even though they were holding heavy machine guns, they couldn't fire recklessly.
On the other hand, Wang Teng and the others had more room to wiggle since they had fewer people. They shuttled back and forth through the crowd and dealt powerful blows at the military martial warriors.
There were many military martial warriors, but most of them were low-ranked. Their battle experience wasn't weak, but that depended on who they were facing.
Lin Zhan and his teammates were all 3-star soldier level and above. When they dashed into a group of 1-star and 2-star soldier-level martial warriors, they were like tigers entering a herd of sheep.
The military martial warriors got thrown out in the air, and screams of agony were heard continuously.
"Leave!"
Lin Zhan and others didn't continue fighting for long. They found their direction and charged towards their target like a sharp blade piercing through the air.
It had only been a few seconds since they managed to get rid of the first group of martial warriors. However, loud explosions could already be heard behind them.
More than ten compact SUVs raced on the streets. They were closing in on the fugitives quickly.
Bang, bang, bang!
A few gunshots rang out like loud drums.
Lin Zhan and the others hurled themselves on the ground at the side in a hurry.
Slash!
Yan Jinyue was a step slower, so she got hit on her arm. Blood splattered on the road.
"Little Yue!" Yan Jinming screamed. He dashed to her side immediately and pulled her up to evade the bullets flying towards them.
Wang Teng and Liu Yan rolled on the ground and took out their rune guns. They started firing behind them. They were extremely skilled in gun skills, especially Wang Teng. He used his spiritual power along with Gun Kungfu. Almost all his bullets hit their targets.
This brat! When the elder saw this scene, his eyes shimmered.
Wang Teng saw a military martial warrior falling after he got hit by his bullet. The compact SUV he was driving flipped sideways and was about to smash into the building at the side. At that moment, an idea flashed in his mind.
He moved his body and caught up with the SUV that was about to crash into the building. He controlled the SUV and then hurled himself over the car. He ran towards the military martial warriors on the other side.
He passed by a military martial warrior almost instantly. He grabbed the other party's throat with one hand and threw him out of the car.
The driverless SUV flipped on the ground.
"Snatch the car!" Wang Teng shouted.
His teammates' eyes lit up. Lin Zhan was closer, so he rushed towards the SUV that was lying sideways on the ground.
Liu Yan had also hit a few drivers, giving the Yan siblings an opportunity to snatch a car. They sped towards the back of the city.
