Chapter 97: Was The Game Not Fun Anymore, Or Was The Alcohol Not Nice?
After seeing Principal Yu and the school leaders off, Wang Shengguo stood at the door, a lot of emotions brewing inside him.
"Why are you standing here in a daze looking as though you can die without any regrets?"
Li Xiumei popped her head out from his back and looked at him curiously.
The atmosphere was destroyed in an instant.
"I…" Wang Shengguo took a deep breath. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just walked into the living room in frustration.
He saw Wang Teng examining the rewards on the table.
He exclaimed, "These are not ordinary items at all. It looks like your principal put in a lot of effort this time."
"If our son was not outstanding enough, why would they gift him these precious items?" Li Xiumei said proudly.
Wang Teng ignored his parents' boasting. As their son, he felt that he shouldn't cruelly deprive them of the only joy left in their lives.
He looked at the three items in front of him, especially the dark ice stone in the box. Principal Yu said that it was extremely precious, but he didn't have an exact idea of its value.
It looks like I have to find some time to research it or ask someone who knows about it.
Wang Teng kept the black stone.
The family of three could finally sit down and have their meal.
At the same time, in Jiang City, the news that the Iron Fist Clan was annihilated couldn't stay hidden anymore.
The members of the Iron Fist Clan who were out to do business had gotten lucky and managed to escape the ordeal. When they returned to their headquarters, they noticed that the main entrance was wide open and the entire building was dead silent.
Then, they saw the scene that they would never be able to remove from their memory.
Gruesome!
Corpses covered the entire floor with a fearful expression on their faces; they didn't die peacefully.
The fortunate survivors were scared out of their wits.
Some people wanted to look at the surveillance footage to find out what happened, but all the cameras were destroyed. No evidence was life behind.
All the cash and expensive items had disappeared.
The Iron Fist Clan was left with an empty shell.
"That hostage was saved by someone. Could it be someone from his side?" a person suddenly said.
"Whether it is or not, all the advanced stage martial disciples in the headquarters have been killed. Do you think we can regain our previous standing just by ourselves?" another person trembled with fear and said.
"Also, the news that the Iron Fist Clan has been annihilated will spread soon. Our enemies won't let us go so easily."
"Where are those people from Capital Xia? They have a martial warrior among them. If it's really done by the hostage's men, the plight of our Iron Fist Clan is all caused by them."
"Are you planning to find them for revenge?" Someone sneered.
"Let's disperse. The Iron Fist Clan no longer exists…" someone said weakly.
Everyone's gazes landed on that guy. He laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm just making a casual suggestion. Don't look at me."
"Let's disperse."
"Right, let's disperse."
"Goodbye, everyone. I hope that I won't see any of you again in the future…"
Everyone scattered in an instant. They left without showing any signs of hesitation. Only the person who came up with the suggestion was left standing on the spot in a daze.
"The Iron Fist Clan is gone."
In a hotel's luxurious presidential suite in Jiang City, a man spoke.
In front of this middle-aged man, a twenty years old young man with short hair was sitting on a chair. He was wearing a bathrobe and swirling the wine glass in his hand.
The red wine in the glass spun lightly. The young man said calmly, "Oh?"
"I made a trip personally. Almost everyone was killed with a single blow, including the advanced stage martial disciples.
"The boss of the Iron Fist Clan is also gone. However, there are burnt marks found at the scene," the middle-aged man continued.
"Martial warrior?
"Fire element martial warrior?"
The young man raised his eyebrows. He finished the red wine in his hand in a single gulp.
"That is my guess too," the middle-aged man nodded and replied.
"Pfft, let's go back to Capital Xia. Let other people take care of these miscellaneous things. I'm irritated." The young man stretched his back and scoffed.
"Aren't you… going to act?" The middle-aged man asked.
"I said that I'm going back to Capital Xia!" the young man said coldly.
"Yes!"
Wang Teng didn't know the scenes going on in Jiang City.
Regarding Wang Shengguo's predicament, he knew from the boss of the Iron Fist Clan that the other party was from Capital Xia.
In his previous life, the people that had wiped the Wang family were from Capital Xia too.
Although the timing wasn't right, it was most likely the same people.
This was the martial arts era, and there was a martial warrior on the opposite side… That made sense. Based on how powerful they were, they would definitely have a martial warrior.
In front of them, the Wang family was as weak as an ant.
But, he was the variable.
Now, Wang Teng was the top scholar of the martial arts exam. Even Governor Jiang knew who he was.
The other party wouldn't dare to touch the Wang family easily. The Wang family wouldn't have any life-threatening danger in Donghai.
If not, the headlines the next day would be—
The top scholar of the martial arts exam in Donghai got exterminated?
This wasn't just a slap to Donghai's face. It was a challenge to the authority of China's law. No matter how powerful the other party was, they couldn't act without any fear.
Hence, the Wang family was temporarily safe.
However, he still needed to guard against the other party's secret acts. As long as it was within the rules, these acts were allowed.
The Wang family wasn't able to evade it.
Wang Shengguo and Wang Teng's grandfather were all wily old foxes in the business world. Naturally, they wouldn't sit and wait for their enemies to look for them without making any preparations.
Wang Teng didn't have to worry about the company.
Now, what he needed to do was to increase his capabilities as fast as possible. If he was powerful enough, he could kill all his enemies with a single slash of his sword.
The only thing that Wang Teng couldn't understand was how the Wang family managed to provoke those people. After all, the other party had a huge and powerful background.
He asked Wang Shengguo the same question before, but his father didn't know the answer. He was kidnapped for no reason, so he was utterly confused too.
At this moment, Wang Teng met Xu Jie and his other friends in a quiet bar. There were beers, fruit juices, and all kinds of snacks on the table.
They were all chatting and laughing.
"Top scholar for the martial arts exam!" suddenly, Xu Jie shouted in surprise.
The three of them stared at Wang Teng in astonishment. Before this, they had heard that his result was not bad, but they only knew that he was the top scholar now.
This…
For a moment, they just stared at each other, not knowing what to say.
Wang Teng was already used to this kind of reaction. Everyone who heard the piece of news for the first time would be dumbstruck.
Sigh, he was a failure!
Fortunately, the system didn't abandon him.
Wang Teng sighed in his heart. He started eating snacks all alone and let the trio continue their astonishment. After they regained their senses, they would continue the conversation.
A few minutes later, the three people finally snapped back to their senses.
"Congratulations, Brother Wang Teng!" Xu Jie said in a complicated tone.
In the past, they were all useless and cocky rich second generations in other people's eyes. But now, Wang Teng had soared up into the sky with one leap. Xu Jie felt hurt.
Wasn't it good to stay together like a loving family and fail the exam together?
Was the game not fun anymore, or was the wine not nice?
Why did he need to immerse himself in his studies? Why did he become the star student that he always hated?
Xu Jie started doubting his life. The lonely feeling of being abandoned engulfed his entire body, and a dark grey aura spread around him.
Wang Teng: …
Bai Wei: …

Chapter 98: Life Isn't Just About Resigning To Circumstance Now…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The stimulation to Xu Jie wasn't light. For some time, he felt poor in spirit.
He had already decided to repeat his year three and practice his martial arts properly. He must take the martial arts exam next year.
He wasn't unhappy that Wang Teng managed to pass. He was just a little envious.
Actually, he had predicted this result beforehand. After all, Wang Teng had already displayed the ability of an advanced stage martial disciple in front of him.
But, this time, Wang Teng scored a little too well, so well that he started doubting his life.
Their results used to be equal. Now, one had to repeat his year, while the other managed to get into a university.
Even so, he still had the hope that he would catch up with him and not lagged too far behind.
However, if Wang Teng got into a university like The First University, he knew that no matter how hard he worked, he would never be able to catch up. The distance caused him to feel despair.
"Brother Wang Teng, you're really a monster. I don't dare to compare myself to you." Xu Jie sighed and took a huge swig of beer.
"Don't think like that. If you don't compare, how do you know that you won't be able to beat me?" Wang Teng said.
1
Xu Jie thought that Wang Teng was consoling him and felt a little happy. But, unexpectedly, Wang Teng continued, "You will only know that you can't win after you have compared."
Xu Jie: …
"You don't have to console me, but why are you hurting me? Can we still be good friends?"
"Only friends will tell you the truth. Trust me, life isn't just about resigning to circumstances now. There's also resignation to fate in the future," Wang Teng said.
"Pfft!"
Bai Wei spat out a mouth of fruit juice when she heard this sentence.
Yu Hao choked and coughed without stopping.
"Brother Wang Teng, the saying goes like this: 'Life isn't just about resigning to circumstance now, there's also poetry and the future." Bai Wei rolled her eyes at Wang Teng. Why didn't she notice how cheeky he was in the past?
"I'm comforting Xu Jie. After all, there are many stimulations in life. He needs to get used to them earlier. After a few shocks, you will get used to them," Wang Teng said.
There was a ball of air stuck in Xu Jie's chest. He felt extremely frustrated. His pupils moved, and he suddenly said, "My sister is coming back soon."
"What!"
This time, it was Wang Teng's turn to put on an ugly expression. His face changed immediately. It was quite interesting to watch.
Xu Jie smiled naughtily.
"Sister Xu Hui is back?" Bai Wei was pleasantly surprised.
"That female devil!" Wang Teng gritted his teeth.
Xu Hui was Xu Jie's older sister. They had known each other since they were children, but the memories weren't very good…
Anyone who got their pants taken off and their little bird flicked when they were a child wouldn't have any fond memory about it!
1
No, he must stay as far away from her as possible.
He mustn't let the devil see him. If not, he couldn't predict what she might do.
"Brother Wang Teng, my sister has always been talking about you. She even said that after she returns, she must drag you out for a meetup," Xu Jie said.
Bai Wei and Yu Hao sniggered at the side. They never had this kind of treatment before. Xu Hui always treated Wang Teng exceptionally well (in reality, she always tormented him).
Wang Teng's face turned green. "I'm not free. Tell her that I'm not free. Don't look for me if there's nothing important."
"I can't make the decision. If she goes to your house to look for you, I can't help you." Xu Jie shrugged.
"Oh shit!" Wang Teng said in frustration.
"I don't have shit, but I have an older sister!" Xu Jie smiled evilly.
He felt that he had finally gained some of his ego back. He felt comfortable for some reason.
He had no pressure betraying his older sister!
Bai Wei and Yu Hao burst out laughing. It was hard to make Wang Teng suffer a setback. This kind of interesting scene rarely occurred.
After fooling around for some time, Bai Wei asked, "I heard that Sister Xu Hui has already reached the peak of an advanced stage martial disciple. Is she at her breakthrough now?"
"She successfully advanced to martial warrior half a month ago." Xu Jie was a little proud. He said enthusiastically, "After she comes back this time, I plan to ask her to train me properly. I don't have much hope of becoming an advanced stage martial disciple, but I must become an intermediate stage martial disciple."
"Martial warrior!" Wang Teng was a little surprised. His memory of Xu Hui stopped at his past life. He didn't expect the female devil to be a martial warrior in this life.
Damn it, she would be harder to deal with!
This was what he was thinking, but he said, "With a martial warrior guiding you and the resources your family is putting on you, there's a high chance that you will become an intermediate stage martial disciple within a year."
"I hope so. When my dad heard that I wanted to practice martial arts, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for an entire night. He even decided to take out his private savings to sponsor me," Xu Jie smiled and said.
Wang Teng gave him a thumbs-up. "Uncle Xu is amazing. He's able to have a private stash under the eyes of your mom."
"Cough, cough!"
Xu Jie was caught between laughter and tears. Your point of concern is a little off.
"Xu Jie, we can practice together. After Sister Xu Hui comes back, can you ask her to teach me too?" Yu Hao said in anticipation.
"This is a small matter. You can just come to my house in the future," Xu Jie said generously.
Bai Wei listened to them discussing martial arts at the side. Suddenly, she felt a little depressed. Even Xu Jie had a target. What about her?
Wang Teng would be entering university soon as the top scholar of the martial arts exam. He would definitely soar higher in the future. Would she only be able to watch him fly?
Bai Wei questioned her own heart. For a second, she was speechless.
They chatted until late at night.
Wang Teng only returned home past 11 pm. He took a bath and directly hit the bed.

His Spirit was close to 100. Wang Teng planned to go to the mental hospital and collect another round of attributes.
However, it was hard to sneak into the mental hospital in the day, so he could only secretly enter after midnight.
But, his university entrance exam had just ended. It was a rare relaxing moment for him, so he decided to wait for a few days first. The mental hospital wouldn't run away.
A silent night.
The next day, Wang Teng went to the house he had rented in the university town. The crow egg still looked the same. There were no signs of hatching at all.
He sent a WeChat message to the beautiful shop owner, Lu Zhiqing, whom he met at the pet shop.
Lu Zhiqing: It's normal. Don't worry. The oviparous animals now have a more complicated hatching process after being influenced by Force. Their developmental cycle is longer.
Wang Teng pondered for a moment. Normal animals were already like this, much less the egg of a star beast. It was reasonable that its hatching process would be longer. He decided to let it take its time.
Wang Teng: Alright. Thank you!
Wang Teng replied with a WeChat message to express his gratitude.
Lu Zhiqing: I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't saved me in the past, I would definitely have gotten hurt…"
Lu Zhiqing hesitated for a moment before she sent the next message.
Lu Zhiqing: Are you free? Let me treat you to a meal.
Wang Teng: There's no need for that. Anyone else will do the same thing.
Wang Teng felt embarrassed. If the other party knew that the giant crow came to Donghai because of him and everything that happened after that was his fault, how would she feel?
Lu Zhiqing: There's a need for it. If you don't let me treat you, this will always be on my mind.
Lu Zhiqing's tone seemed serious.
Wang Teng: Alright… you can tell me the address and the time. We'll meet and have a casual meal. There's no need to spend too much.
Wang Teng felt helpless, but he still agreed. This beautiful sister was a little straightforward!
But… since she was a beauty, he could feast his eyes. It would be a waste if he didn't go for the meal!
Lu Zhiqing: Alright, it's decided then!
Lu Zhiqing hurriedly sent the time and the address over. She seemed to have prepared it long ago.
Yida Plaza.
Wang Teng looked at the address and the time. It was good for him.
He replied: Okay, I will be on time.

Chapter 99: The Offer From The Top Three Martial Arts Academies
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the afternoon, Wang Teng arrived at a seafood buffet restaurant as planned on the fourth floor of Yida Plaza.
He scanned the restaurant and saw Lu Zhiqing waving at him. He nodded at her and walked over.
Wang Teng said, "Why are you so early!"
"I'm the one treating, so I have to come early." Lu Zhiqing pulled her hair back and smiled.
"You're too polite. Actually, there's no need to do this. You also answered my queries on the incubation of eggs. Actually, I'll still have to trouble you in the future.".
"Let's stop thanking each other. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me. Come, let's take a look at the food first." Lu Zhiqing passed the menu to Wang Teng.
The two of them ordered some dishes.
The service of this restaurant was fast. The dishes they ordered came continuously. Wang Teng and Lu Zhiqing chatted as they ate the seafood.
Suddenly, Wang Teng heard something and asked in surprise, "Do you know about mutated beasts and star beasts too?"
"Yes. It's hard to do pet business now. More and more people are raising mutated beasts. They want to appear high-class, so I also have to focus on high-class products related to mutated beasts and star beasts," Lu Zhiqing said.
"That's not easy. Mutated beasts and star beasts can be fatal. You are just a normal person. It will be hard for you to handle them." Wang Teng frowned.
"I know. That's why I don't plan to sell large-sized mutated beasts. I'll target the small ones, and they can only be cubs. Actually, mutated beasts are similar to normal animals. If you start training them when they are cubs, they won't normally harm their master," Lu Zhiqing replied.
"Some are naturally ferocious. You need to be careful." Wang Teng didn't say much and just reminded her.
"Okay, I will take note of it." Lu Zhiqing nodded and smiled.
Both of them enjoyed the meal. Wang Teng and Lu Zhiqing's relationship got slightly closer. In the past, they were just acquaintances, but now, they could be considered friends.
At least Wang Teng felt that he was able to look for Lu Zhiqing and asked about incubation matters more comfortably now.
"If you need any help in the future, you can look for me," Wang Teng said to Lu Zhiqing before they parted.
"Alright, I won't be polite with you." Lu Zhiqing smiled.
She had already witnessed Wang Teng's ability, so she knew how important this connection was.
After the two of them bade farewell, Wang Teng went back home.
However, he didn't expect the atmosphere at home to be so strange.
The three principals of the top three martial arts academies in Donghai were sitting in his living room right now, staring at each other awkwardly.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei sat at the side, looking at each other in silence.
Donghai was one of the top few important cities in China. The principals of the top three martial arts academies were not only powerful, but they also held great influence.
You could say that they were part of the upper echelon of Donghai.
You could even say that they had control over the city.
The status of the Wang family was nothing compared to them. It was like the difference between an elephant and an ant.
Hence, Wang Shengguo was in a dilemma. He couldn't afford to offend any one of them.
When they saw Wang Teng coming home, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Wang Shengguo said, "My son is back. Why don't you all look for him?"
He pushed the burden smoothly without any hesitation.
Wang Teng immediately felt the gazes of the principals landing on him. They were so intense that it felt as though they wanted to peel off his skin.
Cough, cough.
Bosses, I'm not gay!
"Wang Teng, let's not beat around the bush. Today, the three of us have come for you. You can take a look at our conditions and make a decision." The principal of Leiting Martial House was an impatient guy. He couldn't accept indecisive people, so he was very straightforward.
"That's right. A martial warrior should be decisive. Look at our proposals and choose your academy," Fu Tiandao agreed and said.
He didn't mention that Wang Teng was already a martial disciple of Jixin Martial House. After all, martial disciples and martial warriors were different. He wouldn't use this to confuse Wang Teng.
Also, even if he was a martial warrior of Jixin Martial House, he could still be snatched by other martial academies. Ultimately, it depended on everyone's conditions.
The one who could give better conditions would be the winner.
Wang Teng was the top scholar of the martial arts exam, and he had become a martial warrior at such a young age. The three principals were determined to get him.
Talents were rare in the martial warriors' era.
Incredible talents were even rarer.
There were less than ten people in China who were able to become martial warriors at his age. This was the sum of all the recent years combined.
The most important thing was, most of these young people came from martial warrior families. They had ample resources with personal guidance from martial warriors.
Wang Teng couldn't be compared with them. Also, he was able to kill a star beast not long after he became a martial warrior.
Based on what they knew, only one or two of those talents were able to achieve this. Most of them just followed behind their seniors and gained experience. They didn't do much.
This was why they had high hopes for Wang Teng's future.
He had high potential and he was powerful. His background wasn't very complicated either. Who wouldn't like him?
Thus, the three of them asked their superiors for the best conditions and benefits they could offer. Bargaining wouldn't work in this case.
They immediately gave Wang Teng the best they could at the first meeting. It was a game of who was more daring.
Wang Teng smiled when he saw them being so direct and giving the 'we are very rich, you can ask for anything' expression.
"Boss, have some tea."
Wang Teng sat down in front of them and poured tea for them. Then, he asked the question he had in his mind, "Will there be a conflict between the martial arts academy and the school?"
"Don't worry about this. The school is a public organization. It will not conflict with the interest of the martial arts academy. Even if you apply for a military college where the rules are stringent, we will let you prioritize your college. All these can be written in the proposal. Many powerful warriors in colleges and even the military have their names under our academy," Fu Tiandao explained.
"That's right." Jiang Hong and Gu Hefei nodded in agreement.
Wang Teng nodded. He picked up the three proposals on the table and took a look. The names of the three martial arts academies were written on the top.
He skipped the first proposal that Jixin Martial House prepared and looked at Leiting Martial House's proposal first.
The principals of Leiting Martial House and Bailian Martial House raised eyebrows immediately.
This was unequal treatment.
It was obvious that Wang Teng preferred Jixin Martial House.
He read their proposals first and left the Jixin Martial House's proposal for the last.
If the three proposals had similar content, Wang Teng would definitely choose Jixin Martial House.
This was indeed the case. After all, Wang Teng had been training at Jixin Martial House for some time, so he was familiar with the environment there.
Fu Tiandao saw Wang Teng picking up Jixin Martial House's proposal and reading it silently after he finished scrolling through the other two proposals. He raised his eyebrows at Jiang Hong and Gu Hefei. A confident and delighted smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Jiang Hong and Gu Heifei instantly had a bad feeling.
Wang Teng finally finished reading all the proposals. He put down the proposals in his hand and sighed. Everyone's gaze landed on him.
"How is it?" Wang Shengguo asked agitatedly. Actually, he really wanted to look at the content of the proposals.
"Mr. Wang can take a look too." Fu Tiandao smiled and passed the proposals to him.
After Wang Shengguo finished reading them, he knew that Wang Teng probably had already made his decision. If it was him, he would make the same decision too.
"I choose Jixin Martial House." As expected, Wang Teng said his answer without any hesitation.

Chapter 100: SSS Grade Proposal By Jixin Martial House
"I choose Jixin Martial House!"
The moment Wang Teng finished speaking, the principals of Leiting Martial House and Bailian Martial House turned silent.
Fu Tiandao laughed loudly. "Guys, thank you."
"Can we take a look at your proposal?" Jiang Hong asked unwillingly.
He needed to know why he lost.
Gu Hefei looked at Fu Tiandao with the same expression.
The three martial arts academies were competitors. Any lost talents were their loss.
"Please," Fu Tiandao said nonchalantly.
The two principals instantly took Jixin Martial House's proposal and leaned together. They read the proposal quickly.
"Fu Tiandao, you're insane!" Jiang Hong's eyes turned wide with astonishment when he saw the proposal.
"Do you know what this proposal means?" Gu Hefei couldn't help but ask.
"I gave this proposal to the headquarters, and our president approved it personally. That's how it got decided. What do you think? Do you accept defeat?" Fu Tiandao asked.
"Your president approved it personally!"
"You win."
"Impressive."
The two of them exchanged glances. They could only show their respect.
What was the difference?
When they reported their proposal to the headquarters, they wasted much saliva before they finally managed to get this S-grade proposal.
What about Jixin Martial House?
They immediately gave the highest level SSS-grade proposal.
The difference only seemed to be two levels, but it was a chasm.
In their memories, the top three martial arts academies had only approved 23 SS-grade proposals in the past few years. Now, these people were all powerful characters.
All of them had the potential to reach the general stage!
Actually, the principals also wanted to apply for the SS-grade proposal for Wang Teng. They felt that Wang Teng had this potential.
But, the people above had their doubts.
They felt that the future was full of accidents and probabilities. They should invest in talent, but they mustn't invest too much at once.
Hence, they suggested giving him the S-grade proposal first. After he entered their martial arts academy, they would observe him for some time. If his performance was outstanding, they would consider changing his proposal to SS-grade.
Most of the talents that signed an SS-grade proposal went through this route. Very few of them were offered SS-grade proposals right away.
As for SSS-grade proposals, there were less than five of them.
Those five people were all general-stage martial warriors now!
All of them were younger than 35 years old, so they would definitely become important pillars of China in the future.
This was the difference!
Jixin Martial House gave Wang Teng an SSS-grade proposal, while Leiting Martial House and Bailian Martial House could only give an S-grade proposal.
They appeared a little stingy in comparison.
Jiang Hong and Gu Hefei felt a little dejected. They had no mood to compare anymore.
"That's vicious of you!"
But, they still glared at Fu Tiandao.
The two of them were a little embarrassed. They said to Wang Teng, "We're sorry for our proposals."
They had witnessed Wang Teng's actual combat assessment personally and were confident about his future. Unfortunately, they couldn't make the decision alone.
It was a pity that they missed this talent!
"You're being too polite. I'm grateful that you think so highly of me," Wang Teng replied hurriedly.
The two principals felt much better because of Wang Teng's modesty. Fu Tiandao nodded his head secretly when he saw this scene at the side.
Displaying his skills when he should and keeping humble at the right time—this was the indication of a good character.
He was delighted with Wang Teng's performance.
"Since you have already made your decision, we won't disturb you anymore." The two of them got up and left.
After sending them off, Wang Teng came back to the living room.
"Sign this proposal in case accidents happen," Fu Tiandao said.
"Principal Fu, do you have so much confidence in me?" Wang Teng wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he asked him back.
"Haha, I'm not the only one who has confidence in you. Our president has high hopes for you too. You have been training in our martial arts academy. Don't think that you can hide it from me." Fu Tiandao smiled mysteriously.
Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat.
"But, you don't have to worry. Everyone has their secrets, especially martial warriors; they have even more secrets." Fu Tiandao seemed to know what he was thinking, so he reassured him indifferently.
Wang Teng didn't say much. He signed his name on the proposal.
Fu Tiandao nodded in satisfaction. He passed a black wristwatch to Wang Teng.
"This is the Force wristwatch invented by the martial warriors. It is made of a special material and won't get affected by water or fire. It can even withstand the attack from a martial warrior without breaking."
"Once you enter your personal information, you can log in to our martial arts academy's internal web—Jixin.
"The billion-dollar worth of resources mentioned in the proposal will be transferred into your account batch by batch. You can buy the resources you want from our martial arts academy's internal web.
"But, you must consider carefully. Don't waste this huge amount of money. If you fully utilize it, you can significantly enhance your skills.
"Also, you have three chances to seek guidance from our president. This is a rare opportunity. Many talents aren't able to get this chance. You should take advantage of it.
"Finally, this is the right to purchase a house in 'Deer Garden.' The people living there are all family members of martial warriors. The 'Deer Garden' is under the name of the top three martial arts academies, so the security there is very high. So far, no one has dared to create trouble there. I know that your family met some trouble recently, so if you move there, you won't have to worry about their safety."
Wang Teng listened with rapt attention. These were all written in the proposal, but Fu Tiandao's reminder was worth pondering over.
The offers were all generous, especially the last one. It was just what he wanted. If his parents moved to 'Deer Garden,' he would feel more at ease too.
Li Xiumei hadn't looked at the proposal just now, so when she heard Fu Tiandao's explanation, she was flabbergasted.
A billion dollars worth of resources!
Her son's assets had surpassed her husband's many years of hard work. It was hard not to be astounded.
Were martial warriors all so wealthy?
Wang Shengguo felt a little depressed. By right, getting surpassed by your son should be a happy thing…
But, this money was so easy to earn!
It was so easy that it stimulated him greatly!
However, the right to purchase a house at 'Deer Garden' caused his eyes to light up too. A man was only able to move forward without worry if his family was safe.
"You will need to apply for your university tomorrow. Have you decided which one you want to go to?" Fu Tiandao asked.
"Not yet. I looked at the cut-off point of the universities this year. I think I'll be able to get into all of them," said Wang Teng.
After the result came out, all the schools had released their cut-off points immediately.
The martial arts exam was different from the normal university entrance exam. For the normal university entrance exam, the cut-off points for the schools would only be released after the application process. Many students couldn't apply for the right universities and weren't able to get into the universities they wanted. It was a pity.
As for the martial arts exam, the schools weren't the only ones choosing the students. The students were choosing the universities too. Thus, the cut-off points were released early.
"With your score, you won't have a problem entering any university. The problem is choosing the one that's most suitable for you. Your exam result has already been sent to all the top universities. As long as they are not blind, I believe that they will look for you soon. They might even look for you at your school tomorrow," Fu Tiandao smiled and said.
"That's so troublesome." Wang Teng gave a bitter smile. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Principal, do you have any suggestions?"
Fu Tiandao smiled and replied, "The resources, atmosphere, and ability of the teachers of the top few universities are all around the same.
"Resources are earned through competition. The more outstanding a person is, the more resources the country would distribute to him. Hence, good students never lack resources.
"In recent years, the Donghai University and the Huanghai Military College are inching their way up. There's not much difference between them and The First University. They were even able to beat the other universities in the martial arts grand competition a few times and claimed the championship.
"Comparing the military college and normal universities, military colleges are stricter. They have more control over the student's freedom, but there's an advantage."
Fu Tiandao paused for a moment at this point. He only continued when he saw Wang Teng looking over.
"The military college is a quick route to gain power. If you are outstanding enough and you earn military exploits, you might be able to take charge of an army in the future. You will have great influence.
"Especially in the Xingwu Continent. I don't mind telling you that we are currently forming large troops. We need to send fresh troops there urgently…"

Chapter 101: I'm Really Ugly!
"The Xingwu Continent!"
Wang Teng's expression changed a little. Ever since he became a martial warrior, he knew that he would have to go to the Xingwu Continent sooner or later.
"I'll consider this carefully," he replied to Fu Tiandao.
"Okay. I do hope that you will stay in Donghai, whether it's for business or personal reasons. Donghai needs more powerful martial warriors!" Fu Tiandao continued.
Wang Teng nodded. He didn't give his answer immediately.
Fu Tiandao didn't continue when he saw Wang Teng's reaction. He stood up and said, "After your application, there will be more than a month before your school starts. I will help you to look for a small martial warrior team in the martial arts academy. You can join them later and head to the Xingwu Continent."
"That's fast!" Wang Teng was astounded.
"There's no time to waste on the path of martial arts. If you're a step faster, you will be many steps ahead of everyone else. Don't you want to widen this distance?" Fu Tiandao smiled and asked.
It was obvious that Fu Tiandao's words spoke right to Wang Teng's heart.
He had already flung many people behind him. This was the best time to widen the distance between him and the rest.
Also, as a cheater, it would be highly embarrassing if he was surpassed by someone else.
"Is the Xingwu Continent dangerous?" Wang Shengguo couldn't help but ask at the side.
"The instant he became a martial warrior, the danger will always follow him. He will never be able to get rid of it unless he becomes invincible. At that time, there will be no dangers anymore."
Fu Tiandao looked at Wang Shengguo. He didn't console him. Instead, he told him the truth rather than giving him false hopes.
He also asked him in a meaningful tone, "Will there be no danger if he doesn't become a martial warrior?
Wang Shengguo immediately recalled his recent experience. If Wang Teng wasn't a martial warrior, his situation would have been worse. The Wang family might be suffering a huge crisis now.
Danger was always relative.
They were never safe!
With his experience, he naturally understood this logic. He could only sigh secretly.
"Alright, you don't have to send me off. Wait for my news."
The few of them came to the entrance of the house. Fu Tiandao waved his hand and drove his car away.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei suddenly turned silent when they saw Fu Tiandao leaving. It was a good thing that their son became a martial warrior. However, they were still worried about the dangers he would face.
They felt like parents sending their child overseas. They were elated that their child had managed to get into a university, but when they sent him off, they kept reminding and nagging. They even wiped their tears secretly.
This was probably the innate ability of a parent.
"Dad, Mom, don't look as though your son has just died. I'm still alive," Wang Teng said in a helpless tone.
"Pfft, why are you talking about such unlucky things?" Li Xiumei said.
Wang Shengguo let out a long sigh. He said emotionally, "You have grown up. You're not only powerful, but you're also more mature now. You are able to remain calm and confident in front of the three martial arts academies' principals. You can support the family in a crisis, and your assets are more than mine too. As your father, I know that there's nothing I have to worry about. I only hope that you will always place your life as the priority, no matter what you do."
"I understand, Dad." Wang Teng turned quiet too. Then, he winked at Wang Shengguo and said, "Anyway, Dad, why do you sound a little envious? Are you jealous of my billion yuan assets? Shall I give you some?"
"Go away!" Wang Shengguo raised his leg and kicked Wang Teng.
This stupid child.
What did he mean by being jealous? Your dad is already so old. I have my ego!
Wang Teng laughed and dodged the kick.
"I'm going out!"
He ran out of the door.
Fu Tiandao's words gave Wang Teng some pressure. He needed to improve everything he could improve before he went to the Xingwu Continent.
Jixin Martial House.
A red banner was hung above the main entrance.
'Welcome Wang Teng, the top scholar of Donghai's martial arts exam, to our Jixin Martial House.'
Wang Teng got out of the car and stood at the main entrance. He stared at the glaring line of words in a daze. Suddenly, he felt incredibly embarrassed.
Fu Tiandao was really fast. He went off half an hour before him, but the banner was already hanging over the main entrance.
Could he have prepared it beforehand?
Wang Teng hurriedly lowered his head and pretended that he didn't see anything. He crawled into his car and drove into the martial arts academy.
His car was a frequent sight at the academy. Furthermore, the banner was hanging there. Even the guards knew who he was and let him in directly.
When the car drove in, the guards stood behind it and discussed among themselves.
"Is that the top scholar of the martial arts exam?"
"It's him, it's him. Yes, it's him."
"I heard that our principal went to look for him personally before he managed to snatch him back from the hands of Bailian Martial House and Leiting Martial House."
"This treatment, wow…"
Wang Teng didn't know that the guards were talking about him. After he parked his car, he arrived at the third floor of the martial disciple training building.
He could already enter the martial warrior building, but he wanted to visit the martial disciple building one last time.
The third floor.
The moment Wang Teng came up, many gazes landed on him. Then, the entire room turned quiet for some time before low voices of discussions were heard.
"Wang Teng!"
"The top scholar of the martial arts exam!"
"I didn't expect a boss to be hiding among us!"
Zhang Shaoyang and Peng Hai knew Wang Teng, so they rushed over and started talking to express their astonishment.
They were all professional martial arts disciples, but they were still struggling at the advanced stage. They didn't know when they would become martial warriors.
Yet, Wang Teng had already become the top scholar in the martial arts exam. He was able to choose any of the top universities in the country and would get to enjoy huge amounts of resources in the future. It would just be a matter of time before he became a martial warrior.
His future was bright, but theirs were uncertain.
Just thinking about this gave them complicated emotions. To be green with envy was not enough to express how they were feeling.
Wang Teng chatted with the people he was familiar with for some time. Then, they went to practice on their own.
At first, they thought that everyone was at the same level. After seeing Wang Teng soaring high in the sky, they didn't want to lag behind too much. Hence, they worked even harder in their training.
Also, Wang Teng was still toiling hard even after becoming the top scholar! What reason did they have to relax?
"Pant!" Wang Teng let out a loud breath and then pretended to practice. In reality, he was picking up attribute bubbles.
Strength*3
Speed*2
Enlightenment*0.2
Time went away in a flash. Soon, it was evening. Wang Teng's Enlightenment had finally hit 100!
The Enlightenment column changed slowly.
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (0/100)
Wang Teng suddenly felt something strange happening in his mind. He felt that his understanding of the various scriptures and battle techniques had improved a lot.
He continued looking at his attributes panel. The proficiency of his scriptures and battle techniques suddenly increased by 2 to 3 points in an instant.
Scripture: Red Flame Scripture (foundation 35/100), Deep Ice Scripture (foundation 25/100), Earth Loess Skill 'Earth Element Shield' (foundation 29/100)
Battle Techniques: Basic battle techniques (presence enlightenment for fist, sword, blade, footwork, stick), Basic Arrow Skill (foundation), Gun Kungfu (foundation 3/10), Fire Kirin Sword Skill (foundation 59/100), Phantom Ice Fist (foundation 31/100)
Only his Gun Kungfu increased by one point. It rose from two to three points.
Spiritual realm! A new realm! Wang Teng was deep in thought.
He tried picking up enlightenment attribute bubbles again, but he realized that they had no effects on his spiritual realm enlightenment.
Wang Teng left the martial arts academy after achieving his goal.
As expected, after reaching 100, there were changes to his enlightenment. He wondered what would be the effects if he used his spiritual realm enlightenment to read or understand a new scripture or battle technique.
He was a little excited.
He was looking forward to his Spirit attribute, which was about to touch 100 too. He wanted to reach it as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do it now.
Wang Teng went back to the Fuhua Villa District. When he reached the entrance, he saw another conspicuous red banner hanging above the gates.
"Congratulations to our district's resident, Wang Teng, for becoming the top scholar of the martial arts exam!"
He covered his face uncontrollably. Why was this thing present everywhere!
Wang Teng didn't know that the news of him becoming the top scholar of the martial arts exam had already spread to every corner of Donghai. Not everyone in the city knew it. However, the families with children in school already viewed him as the 'child next door' and used him to educate their children.
Wang Teng probably never expected that one day, he would become 'the child next door.'
Just as he was prepared to leave in his car, he saw a small figure at the sentry post talking to the guards there.
The figure was very strange. Their entire body was covered with clothes, and they were wearing a baseball cap. The mask covered their entire face, and all that was left to be seen was a pair of bright and black eyes. They had their hands in the pockets.
Looking at the hot weather today, anyone who saw the figure would find it strange.
He could faintly hear their conversation.
"Are you saying that you are here to look for someone? But, looking at your sneaky appearance, we can't let you in," the guard frowned and said.
"I'm looking for Wang Teng!" The strange person's voice was extremely recognizable. It was soft and airy. At night, it would sound like a ghost.
"Hmph, the top scholar of the martial arts exam, right? Many people are looking for him now. Are we supposed to let everyone in?" the guard replied nonchalantly.
"I know him," said the figure.
"Everyone who came to find him said the same thing. We don't know who's speaking the truth. Hurry up and leave. Don't disturb our work."
The guard finally started chasing the person away.
Wang Teng drove the car over and lowered the car window. He tried his luck. "Chuxia!"
"Brother-in-law!" the figure said softly.
There was a hint of surprise in her tone. She seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief, but it wasn't obvious.
"Young Master Wang!" The guard saw Wang Teng too. This strange person actually knew Wang Teng, and the person even called him brother-in-law. The guards exchanged glances with one another. One of them said hurriedly, "We didn't know…"
Before he could finish, Wang Teng waved his hand and replied, "It's alright. This is your responsibility."
The guards felt relieved instantly. They smiled and said, "Congratulations on becoming the top scholar for the martial arts exam!"
"Thank you!"
Wang Teng thanked them and then asked Lin Chuxia, "Why did you run out alone… Forget it. Get in the car first."
Lin Chuxia sat in the car. The guards let them in immediately.
Wang Teng asked as he drove his car into the villa district, "Tell me, why did you come?"
Lin Chuxia furrowed her thin eyebrows and said, "I felt that the air around me was getting sticky and uncomfortable again, so I want to find you… Huh, I feel more comfortable now."
Wang Teng chucked in his heart.
Just now, he had already picked up all the attribute bubbles floating around Lin Chuxia.
Demon Lotus Poison Body*10
Poison Force*7
Lin Chuxia looked at Wang Teng with her bright eyes.
Wang Teng didn't explain anything. Instead, he asked, "Does your sister know that you came to find me?"
"She doesn't," Lin Chuxia said indifferently.
Wang Teng instantly felt his head hurt. He took out his phone and dialed Lin Chuhan's number. He passed his phone to her. "Here, inform your sister. If not, your mom and sister will be worried."
Lin Chuhan was doing some tutoring work to earn more money so that she could return money to Wang Teng as soon as possible.
She didn't expect to receive a call from Mother Lin telling her that Lin Chuxia had disappeared. She was so worried that she didn't know what to do.
This had happened a few times in the past, but that was when Lin Chuxia was young and didn't understand the situation. As time went by, she slowly accepted fate and stayed at home obediently.
So many years had passed, but Lin Chuxia started playing the disappearing act again.
Why?
There were no signs at all. It was so unpredictable.
At this moment, Lin Chuhan's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and picked up the call. However, it wasn't Wang Teng's voice she heard.
"Hello~"
Lin Chuhan heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she flared up in anger and shouted word by word, "Lin Chuhan! Do you know how worried Mom and I were!"
"I know~"
Lin Chuhan felt stuffy in her chest. She almost vomited a mouth of blood.
"Pant… never mind, I will not argue with you."
"Hurry up and come back. Mom is so worried!" Lin Chuhan said helplessly.
"I finally managed to come out. I don't want to go back so early," Lin Chuxia said stubbornly.
"Don't you understand your own body…"
Wang Teng signaled Lin Chuxia to pass him the phone when he noticed that they were about to start quarreling. Then, he said to Lin Chuhan, "Since she's not willing to go back, let her stay with me. I'm fine anyway."
"How can I trouble you? That stupid brat kept asking me why you didn't come to visit her for a long time. I didn't expect her to run out to find you. I'm so angry. How about this? I'll rush over immediately and bring her back," Lin Chuhan said angrily.
"I'm preparing to bring her home for a meal. If you want to come, I don't mind. We can gather and have some fun together," Wang Teng winked at Lin Chuxia as he said in a casual tone.
Lin Chuhan was speechless. She replied after a long time, "You are ganging up to anger me. I'm not going to care about you anymore."
She hung up directly.
"Settled!" Wang Teng smiled. He said to Lin Chuxia, "Let's go and grab something to eat at my house. I will bring you somewhere fun tonight."
"Do I have to eat at your house?" Lin Chuxia felt a little frightened now.
Wang Teng parked his car.
"You're not even afraid of running away from home. Why are you scared of this? We've already arrived. Let's get down." He got out of the car first.
Lin Chuxia hesitated for some time before she finally got out of the car. She followed behind him timidly as they walked into the villa.
"Mom, I have a guest." Wang Teng shouted at the kitchen.
Li Xiumei ran out immediately. Her gaze landed on Lin Chuxia. "This is?"
"My table buddy's younger sister. I met her on the way, so she's coming to get some free food," Wang Teng said light-heartedly.
"Your table buddy's younger sister?" Li Xiumei's brain spun one round before she understood. "Have a seat, have a seat. Why are you wearing so thick in such hot weather?"
Li Xiumei looked at Wang Teng and replied hesitantly, "My face… is very ugly."
"Why are young people like you always thinking that you're ugly? I feel that being yourself is the best," Li Xiumei said nonchalantly.
"Auntie, I'm really ugly," Lin Chuxia tried her best to make herself sound more sincere.
"It's alright. This is our house. There's no one else around. Hurry up and take off your mask. It's really hot," Li Xiumei said.
Lin Chuxia turned around and looked at Wang Teng again. He gave her a look of encouragement.
Lin Chuxia gritted her teeth and finally lowered her mask that was covering half of her face.
Li Xiumei stopped breathing for a moment. She was shocked. She wanted to rub Lin Chuxia's head to console her.
"Don't!" Lin Chuxia dodged hurriedly.
"Mom, Chuxia's physique is a little special. Normal people can't touch her. Her face is like this because of her unique physique. However, I have found a cure for it," Wang Teng explained.
"Special physique? I don't understand this kind of thing, but it's good that you have found a solution." Li Xiumei was enlightened.
"Have a seat first and eat some fruits. I'll finish the dishes, and we can start eating immediately."
That night, Lin Chuxia had dinner at Wang Teng's house.
When Wang Shengguo returned from his company, he was shocked to find an additional person at home. His reaction was the same as Li Xiumei when he saw Lin Chuxia, but he didn't display any signs of disgust. Instead, he took pity on the young lady.
The two adults were so enthusiastic towards Lin Chuxia that she almost couldn't handle them.
After dinner, Wang Teng brought Lin Chuxia out and walked around aimlessly. They had fun playing. He wanted to let Lin Chuxia get some fresh air.
Lin Chuhan called him a few times, but Wang Teng didn't pick up.
When it was almost midnight, Wang Teng brought Lin Chuxia to the western suburb mental hospital.
Lin Chuxia felt a little excited. She found it fun to sneak around like this.

Chapter 102: Do You Want My Treasure?
Time: 12.12 am.
Location: A secluded corner of the western suburb mental hospital.
Characters: Wang Teng, Lin Chuxia.
It was pitch black around them. The two black shadows squatted in a hidden corner and whispered between themselves.
"Brother-in-law…"
"I told you to stop calling me brother-in-law. You can just say my name."
"Brother Teng…"
"…Why does it sound so weird?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm adding some ingredients to the wine to increase the effect. I have a friend inside who loves to drink strong alcohol," Wang Teng said in a serious tone.
"Are you sure?" Lin Chuxia was doubtful.
"Why will I lie to you? Alright, let's go."
Wang Teng stood up and brought Lin Chuxia to the entrance of the building. He tilted his body and hid in the darkness.
"Meow like a cat," he said to Lin Chuxia.
Lin Chuxia was stunned. Wang Teng urged her again before she meowed twice unwillingly.
Wang Teng's hair stood up when he heard her voice.
This young lady's voice is so chilly! He thought to himself silently.
At the same time, footsteps were heard inside the building, getting closer and closer. Wang Teng repeated what he did in the past and karate chopped the staff who was attracted by the noise.
Lin Chuxia widened her eyes in shock.
The staff this time was different from the one before. The staff in front of her was a tall and fat middle-aged woman. The nurse attire seemed extremely tight on her, and she looked strong and buff.
"I don't think we can wear her clothes," Wang Teng touched his chin and murmured to himself.
Forget it. I'll take a look at their changing room later.
Then, Wang Teng dragged the tall female nurse to a corner outside and hid her. He brought Lin Chuhan to the changing room while evading the cameras. They found two staff uniforms and changed into them. Then, they wore their masks and walked up the stairs.
Lin Chuxia found everything interesting and new.
She sized up her surroundings with her bright and big eyes. The happiness inside her gaze was apparent.
She hadn't come out to play ever since she was young, much less experiencing such exciting things.
Even though they seemed to be doing something bad…
Wang Teng led her all the way up to the third floor. He found the room that the curly-hair man was in and peeked through the window.
The light was on. The man with curly hair was staring into space at the side of his bed.
Crack!
Wang Teng took out his keys and opened the door.
The other party raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
"Don't you recognize me?" Wang Teng took off his mask and revealed his face.
"Why do I have to know you?" The man with curly hair looked at him curiously, as though he didn't recognize Wang Teng.
Lin Chuxia looked at the two of them curiously.
Wang Teng was slightly stunned. Why was he arguing with a mental patient? He shook his head hurriedly and raised the thing in his hand.
He said, "It doesn't matter if you recognize me or not. I brought good alcohol and cigarettes. Do you want them?"
The man's eyes lit up. He sprung up from his bed and replied, "Yes, yes, yes, give it to me quickly."
"Catch!" Wang Teng's gaze shifted slightly, and he threw the wine to the other party.
The man with curly hair caught the bottle. His actions were extremely smooth. He caught the alcohol bottle, twisted the cap, and opened it in one motion.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
He raised his head and gulped the alcohol down his throat.
"Haha~ Refreshing! I haven't drunk alcohol in a long time." The man with curly hair exclaimed. Then, he asked, "Where's the cigarette? Didn't you say that you brought a cigarette?"
"Oh, take it."
Wang Teng took a box of squashed cigarettes from his pocket and a 1 RMB lighter. He threw them at the man.
The man with curly hair caught the items and lit up a cigarette excitedly. He started smoking.
Wang Teng took the chance to pick up the scattered attribute bubbles on the ground.
Spirit*0.5
Spirit*0.2
Spirit*0.2
Gun Kungfu*1
Huh?!
Gun Kungfu!
One point of Gun Kungfu!
Wang Teng was stunned.
The attributes in front were all spirit attributes. This was within his expectation, so he didn't find it shocking.
But, he didn't expect a Gun Kungfu attribute to pop out without any warning.
How did it drop?
He was puzzled, but he was thrilled at the same time!
This man was indeed the God of Guns!
Gun Kungfu (foundation 4/10)
His gun kungfu jumped from three to four points. Wang Teng felt that his Gun Kungfu had become more skilled.
I wonder what's the power of this Gun Kungfu if I execute it now. Wang Teng thought to himself.
"Is this man some hidden master?" Lin Chuxia moved to Wang Teng's side and whispered after she sized up the man with curly hair.
"How do you know?" Wang Teng raised his eyebrows and asked her back softly.
"I saw him catching the bottle just now. A normal person won't be able to do that," Lin Chuhan replied.
"It's said that he's the God of Guns." Wang Teng said in a mysterious tone. He didn't hide the information from her.
"Really?" Lin Chuxia's eyes were wide open. She felt a little excited in her heart. It was as though she had discovered some huge secret.
"Of course. Why would I lie?" Wang Teng continued, "However, he never displayed his skills before, so I don't know if it's true."
Although he had gotten Gun Kungfu attributes from this man and could almost confirm that he was the God of Guns, he couldn't use this as an explanation.
"Why are the two of you whispering secretly?" The man's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Oh, we were talking about your hairstyle. We think that it's very handsome." Wang Teng spouted nonsense. At the same time, he winked at Lin Chuxia and asked, "Right?"
"Of course, it's really handsome." Lin Chuxia nodded her head furiously in cooperation.
The man with curly hair also nodded in satisfaction. "You have good taste."
He thought for a moment before walking to the side of the table. He took out a USB and walked over. Then, he passed it to Lin Chuxia.
"This is for you. What you want is inside."
The USB looked familiar. His words were familiar too.
Are you a distributor?
Wang Teng stared at the scene in front of him absentmindedly. Suddenly, he felt ridiculous. Was it alright for him to practice Gun Kungfu?
"As for you…" The man returned to the table and took out a pen and a piece of paper. He started drawing illegibly on it.
An abstract and simple line drawing appeared on the paper.
"Do you want my treasure? If you want, search for it using this map. I hid everything here!"
The man with curly hair waved the piece of paper in his hand. His tone was passionate and enthusiastic, as though he was holding a talk in front of thousands of people.
Wang Teng: …
Do you think I will believe you!
"You don't want it?" the man with curly hair asked awkwardly when he noticed that Wang Teng wasn't giving any reaction.
"Haha." Wang Teng smiled forcefully.
"Never mind. Looking at your expression, you must be shy. I'll give it to you reluctantly. It's getting late. Hurry up and leave." The man with curly hair stuffed the piece of white paper in Wang Teng's pocket. Before he could refuse, he chased the two people out of the room and closed the door with a bang.
"I…" Wang Teng was speechless.
"Pfft!" Lin Chuxia burst out laughing when she saw his frustrated but helpless expression.

Chapter 103: Spiritual Power?
Wang Teng glared at Lin Chuxia, who was laughing.
Then, he took out the piece of paper that was crumpled into a ball from his pocket. After he spread the paper out, he noticed that the drawing on it really looked illegible.
Just as he was about to throw it away, Lin Chuxia made a soft sound.
"What is it? Did you see something?" Wang Teng couldn't help but ask.
"It looks like… It really looks like a map!" Lin Chuxia frowned as she looked at the drawing on the paper.
Wang Teng hurriedly looked at the drawing again.
After some time, he asked Lin Chuhan awkwardly, "Erm… why can't I see anything?"
Lin Chuxia rolled her eyes. She turned the paper around and said, "You are holding it wrongly."
Wang Teng: …
He laughed awkwardly and looked at the paper again. His expression turned serious. "It really looks like a map now."
"But, where is this place? I have no idea."
"Let's put it aside. We can research online," Lin Chuxia suggested.
Wang Teng nodded. He folded the piece of paper and placed it in his pocket carefully. His attitude was completely different from before.
Lin Chuxia found it a little hilarious as she looked at him.
"Are we going back now?"
"We're not in a hurry." Wang Teng sniggered. He signaled Lin Chuxia to lean close to the door and listen to the situation inside the room carefully.
"What did you put in his alcohol?" Lin Chuxia suddenly thought of something and asked.
"A little laxative," Wang Teng smiled and replied. "That fellow fooled me in the past, so I'm paying him back."
"Narrow-minded." Lin Chuxia was speechless. "Also, how is that just a little laxative?"
Wang Teng chuckled.
The duo had to wait for a while before the man with curly hair finished the entire bottle of alcohol. Suddenly, his stomach started churning.
His expression changed immediately.
"What is happening?
"My stomach…"
The reaction was extreme. He rushed to the bathroom hurriedly. Fortunately, this room was quite high-class, so there was a private bathroom.
After some time, the man with curly hair walked out of the bathroom. He seemed a little weak.
However, very soon, he clutched his stomach and dashed into the bathroom again. When he came out the second time, his legs were trembling.
After that, he visited the bathroom a few more times. When he finally came out, he held the wall with a pale face. His forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Wang Teng controlled his laughter and waved his hand to ask Lin Chuxia to leave.
Lin Chuxia couldn't hold back her smile. She had a new understanding of Wang Teng's sense of humor.
"I didn't know that you're someone like this!"
"That fellow harmed me so badly last time. He gave you a USB, too, right? You will know after you go back and take a look," Wang Teng replied.
He was confident that this USB was the same as the one he gave him. At that time, Lin Chuxia would definitely get a shock.
"What on earth is it?" Lin Chuxia asked curiously.
"I can't tell you. You will only know after you go back and take a look." Wang Teng spoke in a mysterious tone.
Lin Chuxia rolled her eyes. She stopped asking, but she was already on her guard.
A few minutes later, the two of them came out from the mental hospital.
Wang Teng brought Lin Chuxia around the mental hospital one more time and finally managed to push his Spirit to 100.
Spirit: Spiritual realm (0/100)
His Spirit attribute underwent some changes.
Spiritual realm!
It was the same as his enlightenment attribute. They were both in the spiritual realm!
It was an entirely new realm!
Wang Teng drove his car and sent Lin Chuxia home.
Lin Chuhan had called him many times, but he didn't answer. However, he did send a message to her.
He told her when he would be sending Lin Chuxia home.
Although Lin Chuhan was worried, she couldn't do anything.
She wasn't worried that Wang Teng would do something to Lin Chuxia. After all, he was a rich second generation who had seen all kinds of beauties before. Why would he lay his eyes on Lin Chuxia?
If she wasn't part of her family, she would be frightened by Lin Chuxia's face too.
She was worried that Lin Chuxia would learn bad things after Wang Teng brought her out to play in the middle of the night.
It was already very late. Lin Chuhan waited at home. Suddenly, the honking of a car was heard outside.
She ran out hurriedly. As expected, she saw Wang Teng and Lin Chuxia standing beside the car.
Lin Chuhan walked over angrily and pinched Lin Chuxia's ears. "You're getting bold. How dare you run away from home?"
"I didn't run away. I just went out for a walk." Lin Chuxia tilted her head uncontrollably because her ear was pinched. But, the expression on her face was calm.
"I'll take care of you later." Lin Chuhan snorted and then glared at Wang Teng. "You, don't you know her condition? Why are you bringing her around in the middle of the night? What if something happened?"
"She should go out and walk more. She shouldn't stay locked up at home all the time. Also, with me around, what can happen?" Wang Teng said nonchalantly.
"I'm worried because you're around," said Lin Chuhan.
O()o
Wang Teng: …
Lin Chuxia laughed secretly at his plight.
"I got scolded by your sister because I brought you out to play. Yet, you're still laughing at me." Wang Teng rolled his eyes.
"I can offend the two of you. I'm leaving!"
He climbed into his car as he spoke and turned the steering wheel. Then, he waved at the two sisters and drove his car away.
"Sister, why are you so fierce? You will scare him away," joked Lin Chuxia.
"So what if I scare him away. What does that have to do with me?" Lin Chuhan said stubbornly.
"Hmph!"
"Don't try to play dumb. I must teach you a lesson properly tonight. Let's see if you dare to run out again in the future. Tell me, where did you go?" Lin Chuhan turned angry from embarrassment. She stretched out her hand and wanted to grab Lin Chuxia's ears.
"I'm not telling you!"
Lin Chuxia dodged quickly and ran up the stairs.
Wang Teng didn't know about the battle between the two sisters.
When he reached home, he locked himself in his room and took a deep breath. He scanned his bedroom.
Let's try using something light.
Wang Teng's gaze landed on a cup on the study table. He focused on the cup.
An invisible power instantly flowed out of his mind. It penetrated his forehead and connected with the cup.
The water in the cup seemed to be controlled by something. It started floating slightly. Then, the water rose from the cup without anything holding it.
The invisible force controlling the water couldn't be seen by the naked eye. However, Wang Teng could sense it clearly. He was able to control it with his mind.
It was like his third hand.
Also, this hand… couldn't be seen and couldn't be touched.
Wang Teng moved his thoughts, and the water started changing shape under the control of the invisible force.
This is amazing!
Is this a derivative after my spirit reached the spiritual realm?
Psychokinesis? Spiritual power? What is it?
Wang Teng was confused. He even found it a little beyond comprehension. However, a bright smile appeared at the corner of his lips. His heart started pounding faster, and he felt excited and exhilarated.
He had been anticipating the changes that would take place after his spirit attribute reached 100. He didn't expect it to be such a huge surprise.

Chapter 104: Riding On The Sword
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"If I use this invisible force as a form of offensive attack…"
Wang Teng started pondering as he controlled the ball of water in the air.
Suddenly, he had an idea.
He stared at the water intently. The invisible force kept shrinking as the water started congregating. It was getting smaller and smaller in size…
Finally, when the water was reduced to one-third of its original size, it couldn't shrink anymore.
1
Wang Teng changed his thoughts and compressed the water into the size of a thorn. Its tip was extremely sharp.
Go!
The invisible force became a push force.
The thorn made of water shot out at high speed. It pierced forcefully into the wall.
Wang Teng walked over to take a look.
A hole had appeared on the wall. Almost half of the water thorn was submerged in the wall.
The water wasn't controlled by the invisible force anymore, so it scattered and flowed down.
Besides water stains, no traces were left on the wall.
Wang Teng stared dumbfounded at the hole in the wall. He really wanted to laugh out loud, but fortunately, he managed to control himself in time. If not, he would have definitely woken his parents up.
Even so, the excitement in his eyes could be seen clearly. His eyes were glittering.
Powerful!
Extremely powerful!
This was just a normal stream of water, but under the control of the invisible force, it was able to display such strength.
What if I change it to Force?
I can compress Force and then shoot it out at high speed. How powerful would that be…
I can even use special weapons!
The power would be unimaginable!
Wang Teng took a few deep breaths. He wanted to test the potential strength of his invisible force, but his house wasn't a suitable place.
That hit just now was enough to leave a hole in the wall. If he used Force, he would probably tear his house down.
This was something only an idiot would do. He wasn't an idiot.
But, I can test its maximum limit.
1
He prepared his mind and glanced around his room. All the chairs, tables, cupboards, and even the bed started floating in the air.
In that instant, all the heavy objects that he could get hold of in the room were flying in mid-air under the control of his invisible force.
They floated as though there was no gravity.
This is simple. I can't see the maximum limit. Wang Teng shook his head. He controlled all the items and placed them back at their original spot.
A few seconds later, the room looked the same again. It was as if nothing had happened.
He thought for a moment and jumped down the window with his weapon carrier casket on his back. He left his house and came to a small and empty forest in his district.
He looked around him. There was no one. The security guards rarely came here.
Wang Teng activated the runes on the weapon carrier casket and took out his battle sword. He threw it into the air, and his invisible force surged out.
Under the control of his invisible force, the battle sword started flying around Wang Teng's figure.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The battle sword started flying faster and faster. The sound of it breaking the air could be heard. Very soon, only the lingering shadows of the sword could be seen.
He controlled his battle sword and flung it towards a huge tree.
The tree trunk, which was huge enough for a person to hug it, got pierced by the battle sword directly.
Impressive!
It's cleaner and sharper than an attack from a martial warrior. The penetrating power is astonishing!
Wang Teng analyzed the situation in his heart. Then, he stretched out his hand, and the battle sword flew back slowly. Just as he was about to keep it, he had a new idea.
The battle sword turned and landed beside his feet. Wang Teng stood on it.
Under the control of the invisible force, the battle sword rose up while shaking. It flew in the air slowly.
Is this considered riding on the sword?!
Wang Teng couldn't help but smile.
After flying for two rounds and slowly getting used to it, he wanted to pick up the speed. Suddenly, a stinging pain was felt in his head.
The battle sword started falling uncontrollably.
Wang Teng fell from the sky. Fortunately, he reacted in time and twisted his body while bearing the pain in his head. He landed on the ground.
That was dangerous!
He heaved a sigh of relief. He rubbed his head and muttered to himself, "Is that the limit?"
But I didn't expect myself to last this long! This is surprising.
Wang Teng kept his fallen battle sword into his weapon carrier casket as he thought about this. Then, he carried it and went home.
I want to try controlling Force with the invisible force, but I went a little overboard. I can only wait for the next time. He gave a forced smile.
Riding on a sword!
This was a scene that would only appear in fantasy novels and dramas. Yet, he was able to experience it.
It felt quite good.
A silent night.
The following day, Wang Teng went down for breakfast with two eye bags under his eyes.
Today was university application day.
Wang Shengguo ate his breakfast and reminded Wang Teng, "I think you know what school you want to get into. Your mom and I won't interfere in your decision. Whether you choose to apply to The First University or stay in Donghai, we will support you."
"I understand, Dad." Wang Teng nodded. Then, he continued, "I also want to see what good news the different universities will bring to me today."
"You will have to consider that personally. You can handle the three principals from the top three martial arts academies, so those admission teachers shouldn't give you any problem," Wang Shengguo smiled and replied.
"I have the initiative. There won't be any huge problems."
Wang Teng finished his breakfast and went out. He drove his car to Donghai No. 1 High School.
A banner was hung above the gates of Donghai No. 1 High School.
"Congratulations to Wang Teng from class eight for gloriously becoming the top scholar of the Donghai martial arts exam."
The standard of this banner was much higher than the banners outside the martial arts academy and his district.
Look, gloriously becoming!
Become your head. Why are there big red banners everywhere? Wang Teng didn't know what to make of it anymore.
He came to the class eight classroom.
The classroom was extremely noisy. When Wang Teng walked in, it turned silent in an instant.
"The boss is here!"
"Let me bow to you!"
"Boss, you're amazing…"
They were talking about Wang Teng a moment ago, and now, the man was here. All the students were excited.
They gathered around Wang Teng, whether or not they were familiar with him in the past, and greeted him enthusiastically.
The top scholar!
A top scholar actually appeared from their class!
Also, he was the top scholar in the martial arts exam!
Just thinking about it made them feel honored.
In the martial arts era, the title of the top student of the martial arts exam weighed more than the top student of the normal university entrance exam. In the future, they might have an influential figure who came from their class.
Wang Teng couldn't handle this enthusiasm.
"Wang Teng!"
At this moment, their headteacher, Fan Weiming's, voice was heard outside the door.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief and ran out of the room hurriedly.
"The admission officers from a few top universities want to talk to you. Follow me," Fan Weiming said.
"Okay, let's leave now." Wang Teng nodded hurriedly.
"Hahaha, you must have been frightened by your classmates." Fan Weiming laughed.
"They're so scary!" Wang Teng gave a bitter smile.
"Who asked you to score so well? You are the top scholar for the martial arts exam! I didn't expect a top scholar for the martial arts exam to appear in my class. This is something I won't even dare to dream of in the past," Fan Weiming lamented.
"Are you surprised? Are you shocked?" asked Wang Teng.
Fan Weiming: …
Naughty!
As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the principal's office. The admission officers that were making small talk with the principal stood up one by one and looked at Wang Teng with bright smiles.

Chapter 105: Five Top Universities
The principal's office wasn't big. It even seemed a little simple and plain.
There was a sofa and a coffee table opposite the office desk. Principal Yu was personally making tea.
The admission officers from the different schools sat down along with Wang Teng.
"It's my honor that you've all come personally. I'm overwhelmed," said Wang Teng.
"Talented people always have some special privileges. You are one of them," A fat middle-aged man complimented Wang Teng without holding back. He smiled and continued, "Let me introduce myself. I'm the admission teacher from Huanghai Military Academy. You can call me Mr. Qin."
Another teacher at the side noticed that Mr. Qin took the initiative, so he said hurriedly, "Wang Teng, I'm the admission teacher from Donghai University. You can call me Mr. Li."
"The First University. You can call me Mr. Huang."
The teacher from The First University was a man around thirty years old. He was a little distant, with a hint of arrogance in his voice.
"I come from the Capital Military Academy. My surname is Zhou."
"I'm from Jinlin University. You can call me Ms. Xia." Ms. Xia was the only female among all the teachers. She wasn't stunning. She looked ordinary, but she had an elegant and mature aura. Her voice was soft and gentle, as though a warm breeze just blew past your face.
Only the teachers from these five universities came today!
But, these five universities were the best in the entire country.
The other universities felt that they were unable to beat them, so they chose not to come.
As long as Wang Teng wasn't stupid, he wouldn't give up the top universities and choose their second-rated universities.
At this moment, Mr. Huang from The First University opened his mouth calmly, "Wang Teng, you should have heard of The First University before, right?
"We have the most abundant teaching resources in the entire country. Our teachers are all at least four-star soldier-level martial warriors!
"Most of our school leaders are six-star soldier-level martial warriors too.
"We can give you ample guidance whether you have questions with your daily cultivation or difficulties when breaking through your level.
"Next, let's talk about resources. You won't be able to imagine the resources you can enjoy at our school—scriptures, battle techniques, dan pills, energy stones, etc. We can provide the best of everything. I'm not looking down on other schools, but they are weaker than us in this area.
"Also, we have many outstanding alumni. Some are businessmen, while others have entered the political world. Some went to the military too. As long as you come to The First University, these seniors will be your invisible network.
"Everyone needs to rely on themselves, but with them standing behind you, it will save you a lot of trouble.
"Our principal is an 11-star general-stage martial warrior. He's a respectable and powerful person in the education world. He's renowned worldwide!
"Before I came, he told me that I must bring you to him. He really wants to meet you.
"Come to The First University. If you don't, you will definitely regret it."
When they heard the entire speech, the teachers from the other four schools had a change of expression. Even the elder sitting at the top of the education world in the north had taken notice of Wang Teng?
"Wang Teng, the teachers and resources that Jinlin University has is on par with The First University. We have many outstanding alumni too. In fact, we are not worse than them. Our principal is similarly an 11-star general-stage martial warrior, and he has a huge say in the south. Donghai is also in the south. Jinlin University is more suitable for you," the admission teacher from Jinlin University said quickly.
However, her words were less powerful as compared to The First University. Even the principal of The First University was aware of Wang Teng. It meant that he had high hopes for him.
Once Wang Teng entered The First University, he would be their key student.
"Wang Teng, let's not talk about anything else. Our Donghai is an important business city. Donghai University's resources are on par with any other university. Our teachers are competent too. We have 5-star, 6-star, and 7-star soldier-level martial warriors. We have as many of them as you want" Mr. Li from Donghai University sounded like a wealthy man.
Then, he chuckled and continued, "As for our principal, he is an 11-star general-stage martial warrior. He has talked about you many times in front of me. If he didn't have something to attend to, he would probably have come here personally and snatched you over. He will never allow you to run away."
Wang Teng was flabbergasted.
Oh my god!
Three 11-star general-stage martial warriors appeared in an instant. The pressure on him was enormous!
At this moment, only the teachers from the two military academies hadn't spoken. They couldn't help but glance at each other.
Tit for tat!
Mr. Qin from Huanghai Military Academy continued to smile as he said calmly, "Actually, the quality and quantity of resources and teachers of our schools are all similar. There's not much difference. Even if there is, its effects won't be significant.
"Wang Teng, I've seen videos of your actual combat assessment. You are very strong. Come to the military academy. This is where you can develop your ability.
"We are forming a troop in the Xingwu Continent. As long as you perform well in the academy, you will be given a military rank and will be able to go to the Xingwu Continent to fight and command your own troops.
"The greatest worth of martial warriors can only be displayed on the battlefield. The Xingwu Continent is undoubtedly a vast battlefield.
"From a certain perspective, martial warriors are soldiers.
"Our martial warriors are always fighting!
"A soldier that doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier.
"And only a military academy can satisfy this requirement.
"Also, the higher authorities have discussed and agreed that once you enter our Huanghai Military Academy, you will immediately be given the rank of a sergeant."
The three admission teachers from Jinlin, Donghai, and even The First University had a change in their expressions. "You… you're shameless. You are actually using the military rank to attract Wang Teng."
"Hmph, you can do it too," Mr. Qin smiled and replied innocently.
"That's right, you can do it too if you can." Mr. Zhou from the Capital Military Academy nodded. Then, he said to Wang Teng, "Our Capital Military Academy offers the same conditions. However, as compared to Huanghai Military Academy, we have another advantage."
He paused and glanced at Mr. Qin proudly before saying, "One of our outstanding alumni—General Lei Yao—is in charge of the 'Crimson Tiger' troop in Xingwu Continent. The Crimson Tiger troop has been around for ten years and is a mature army. If you're good, we can ensure that you will join them and have a steady progression in the future. You will make a name for yourself."
Mr. Zhou spoke firmly and enthusiastically. His words were highly persuasive.
The other teachers turned silent. They had high hopes for Wang Teng, so they came personally to try their best and get him into their schools.
However, the importance the schools placed in Wang Teng got higher each time one of them spoke, and the conditions they gave were getting more and more enticing.
"Wang Teng, a few alumni from our Huanghai Military Academy are forming the 'Black Falcon' troop too. They have just been formed, so there are many difficulties along the way, but it also means that there will be more opportunities for you. On the other hand, Crimson Tiger is already matured. The generals inside are at their prime age. Even if you are able to achieve a high rank in the future, there's a limit to it," said Mr. Qin.
"Hmph, can you give Wang Teng a general position in your Black Falcon troop? I think that you're just painting an illusion for Wang Teng," Mr. Zhou said with disdain.

Chapter 106: Many Years Later…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before Wang Teng made his decision, the teachers from the five universities started quarreling among themselves.
Principal Yu smiled as he watched from the side. He felt extremely delighted.
He had been a principal for many years. Talents did appear in his school before, but this was the first time the top universities in the country had come to snatch a student.
Fan Weiming squatted at a corner. He was astounded.
These admission teachers came from all the top universities in the country. Yet, they were quarreling over a student.
Was Wang Teng's potential so huge?
"Cough, cough," Wang Teng coughed awkwardly. He said, "Teachers, stop quarreling. I have some questions to ask."
"Go ahead."
The five teachers replied almost simultaneously.
Wang Teng felt a little scared as five pairs of eyes stared at him. He asked cautiously, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhou, I heard that military academies have strong restrictions regarding a student's freedom?"
The two teachers exchanged glances with each other and nodded. "We are grooming talents for the military, so we are stricter. You need to follow our schedules and our rules. Once you break them, you will be punished. However…"
They didn't hide this point. They couldn't hide it forever anyway.
But, there was a turning point.
"However, freedom is relative. It's just like the financial freedom we always talk about. With money, you can have financial freedom. Similarly, with power, you can have freedom too. In the martial arts era, you will get a certain amount of freedom no matter where you go as long as you have the ability.
"Rules are always used to restrain the weak. If you are strong enough, you will be able to break the rules of the military academies!
1
"The past talented students were all like this. It all depends if you have the ability or not."
"Teacher, you are just spurring me on!" Wang Teng smiled bitterly.
A sly smile appeared on Mr. Qin's face. However, he didn't reply to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng looked at the other three teachers from non-military academies. He said sincerely, "Thank you for having high hopes for me. However, I think that I've already made my decision."
The three teachers smiled forcefully. "You're not going to reconsider?"
Wang Teng shook his head. The three teachers stopped speaking.
Everyone had their own path. They had to make their own decisions and choose how they wanted to walk.
Wang Teng stood up and said to the teachers from Capital Military Academy and Huanghai Military Academy, "Teachers, I will go and fill in my application now."
Then, he walked out of the principal's office.
At first, Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhou were elated. But, when they saw Wang Teng keeping them in suspense, they were caught between laughter and tears.
They felt extremely agitated.
It was as though a cat was tickling their hearts. They didn't know which school Wang Teng would choose.
Principal Yu looked at Fan Weiming. Fan Weiming quickly followed Wang Teng out of the office.
Wang Teng was the treasure of Donghai No. 1 High School now. Although he could choose the school he wanted personally, it was still better to have someone supervising his application process in case some mistakes or accidents happened.
Wang Teng filled in his application form under the supervision of Fan Weiming. Then, he went back to class.
"Wang Teng, which university did you apply for?" Lin Chuhan couldn't help but whisper to Wang Teng when she saw him sitting down beside her.
"Oh, are you not angry at me anymore?" Wang Teng teased her.
"Are you going to tell me?" Lin Chuhan glared at him.
"Alright, alright. I'll tell you. I applied for Huanghai Military Academy," Wang Teng said helplessly.
You shouldn't provoke a woman!
"Huanghai Military Academy!" Lin Chuhan was shocked. She didn't expect Wang Teng to apply for a military academy.
Yang Jian, who was in front of them, turned around. "Wang Teng, you applied for a military academy? I thought that you would go to The First University."
"Whether it's The First University or Huanghai Military Academy, their quality of resources and teachers are around the same. Entering the military academy is the path most suitable for me," Wang Teng replied.
"Sigh, why do I think that you're boasting when I hear this?" Yang Jian sighed.
"Get out!" Wang Teng laughed and scolded him. Then, he asked, "Which university did you apply for?"
"Donghai Normal University," Yang Jian replied. "I don't want to go overseas. With my results, this is the only university I can choose."
Wang Teng nodded. He noticed that Lin Chuhan's application form was still empty, so he asked, "Lin Chuhan, what about you? Which university do you plan to apply for?"
Lin Chuhan frowned and hesitated before she said, "I want to apply for Donghai University."
"Donghai University!" Wang Teng looked at her and asked, "I remember that the cut-off point for Donghai University's actual combat assessment is 85. Didn't you get 80? Also, you need to be an advanced stage martial disciple."
"Did you read the criteria properly? There's the lowest intake requirement at the end." Lin Chuhan said, "As long as all your general papers are above 135 and your actual combat assessment is above 80, they might admit you on a case-by-case basis, even if you're an intermediate stage martial disciple.
"However, it's still a little dangerous. That's why I plan to put Donghai Technology University as my second choice. Even if I can't get into Donghai University, I will be able to get into the Technology University without any issues."
"Won't you regret it? Actually, with your results, if you took the normal university entrance exam, you could have entered Donghai University easily," Wang Teng said.
"What's there to regret? You know my family's condition. What's the use of saying all these?" Lin Chuhan replied.
"Alright, it's good that you're applying for Donghai's universities. At least we're all in Donghai," Wang Teng said.
"Yes."
Lin Chuhan nodded. However, there was a hint of sorrow in her heart.
Departures were always sad.
"Young Master Wang, after you graduate from the military academy and become a boss, you mustn't forget your old classmates!" Yang Jian smiled and said.
"Alright, Boss Wang Teng will take care of you!" Wang Teng smiled.
Outside the classroom, the headteachers of all the year three classes were gathered there. They were casually talking about this year's university entrance exam results.
Without a doubt, class eight was the biggest winner in this university entrance exam.
The top scholar of the martial arts exam came from their class, and five other students had managed to get into the martial arts course of other universities.
Mind you, based on their prediction, they felt that only the five advanced stage martial disciples in Donghai No. 1 High School had chances of getting into the martial arts course.
Now, the number of students from class eight who got into the martial arts course had already exceeded their prediction.
No gifted martial disciples had appeared in the other classes, but on average, there were two to three students from each class who managed to get into the course. The classes where the advanced stage martial disciples were in were higher on the list.
However, one of the headteachers was frustrated.
"Li Rongcheng didn't pass this year. He will be repeating his year," he said.
"Li Rongcheng? Isn't he an advanced stage martial disciple? How did he fail?" The other teachers were shocked.
"Who knows? I heard that an accident happened during the actual combat assessment, but no one told me the details." Li Rongcheng's headteacher shook his head.
"What a pity," the other teachers expressed their sympathy.
Fan Weiming managed to gain some admiration from the other teachers. He returned to his class extremely proudly.
He stood on the podium and looked at the students below him. Suddenly, he felt a little emotional.
He was sending another batch off again!
Three years was like a cycle!
These children were finally flying to their different worlds. He could only accompany them up to here. He would not be participating in their future endeavors.
He might only hear news about them many years later…

Chapter 107: Enrollment And Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the morning, everyone finished filling in the application form. They just needed to wait for the notification now.
Fortunately, in this era, the results would come out really quickly. They would be able to know if they got accepted three days later.
It wasn't like his past life where they had to wait for more than ten days before getting their results. It was so agitating!
1
They would be parting soon after their graduation. Hence, the students discussed for a moment and decided to go out and have some fun.
A gathering!
How could there be no gatherings during graduation? Many male students were waiting for this chance to confess to the female student they liked for a long time.
Everyone decided on a time. They planned to go to the karaoke place after dinner tonight.
Of course, the headteacher and the other teachers were called too.
At night. At a hotel near the school.
Everyone chipped in.
There were more than 50 people from the class. Including the teachers, they took up six entire tables.
There were beers and even baijiu on the table!
The university entrance exam was over, and the turning point of their lives was right in front of them. Tonight, everyone could finally indulge for once.
Drink!
They must drink!
Everyone, male or female, poured themselves some alcohol. Those that couldn't drink didn't want to make a fool of themselves in front of their classmates either.
It was as if you matured only if you drank alcohol.
Wang Teng was sandwiched between his classmates and teachers. Suddenly, he felt a little absent-minded, as though he wasn't part of this celebration.
He was like the black and white figure in a colorful painting or a stain on a white canvas.
"What's the matter?"
A familiar voice pulled him back to reality. He turned and saw Lin Chuhan's beautiful face. Smiling slightly, Wang Teng replied, "Nothing. Come, let's have a drink."
He raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at her.
Clang!
Lin Chuhan lifted her glass and touched his lightly. She took a sip of the alcohol and whispered, "Hope you will have a bright future ahead."
"You too."
Wang Teng finished his drink in one gulp.
My past life, my current life, which is real and which is fake?
Maybe that's not important anymore. I should just treasure what I have now!
As the top scorer in his class and a black horse as well, Wang Teng naturally became the person everyone wanted to offer a toast to. That was what they said. Actually, though, they planned to make him drunk.
Their results were nothing compared to his, so they could only gain some face back in this manner.
Drink!
If he didn't drink, he wasn't giving them face.
Wang Teng decided to let go this time. Since everyone was happy, he ought to have fun drinking too.
Unfortunately, all of them ended up getting dizzy and drunk, even though they were the ones who wanted to make Wang Teng drunk. They even went to the bathroom multiple times.
Little brats, do you think you have the ability to make a martial warrior drunk? Wang Teng sniggered secretly.
Once his classmates beat a retreat as though they had seen a ghost, Wang Teng offered a toast to all his teachers.
After this meal, the teachers wouldn't join them anymore. The students were all in high spirits, so they went to the KTV together and opened a private room. They sang their lungs out.
'Ten Years' (a Chinese song)!
'King Of KTV' (a Chinese song)!
Wang Teng was filled with emotions as he listened to the familiar old songs.
In the past, he was always busy practicing martial arts—cough, picking up attributes… so he didn't have the time to enjoy the different entertainments.
"Liu Qian, I like you!"
A loud voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Everyone turned quiet.
Wang Teng was shocked too.
Damn it, I was just getting emotional. Why did you suddenly do this!
I know that you like her, but why do you have to shout so loudly? Are you afraid that other people won't know about your feelings…? But I'm quite envious.
The lady that got confessed to blushed in embarrassment. However, she was looking at the young man happily.
"Oh…"
Everyone kicked up a fuss when they saw the two people's expressions.
"Liu Qian, I like you too!" someone followed and shouted.
"Get out!" The young man who had confessed earlier laughed and scolded in a joking manner.
"Liu Qian, I've liked you for a long time. This 'Love Song' (a Chinese song) is my gift for you!"
The music sounded thereafter.
The young man started singing. His voice was filled with deep love and emotions.
Everyone turned silent as they listened to his song. Some were envious, while others were emotional…
Some admired his courage and were envious that he had someone he could confess to!
They lamented at how fast time passed and how some relationships were gone forever.
The student left very late at night.
They went crazy, they were noisy, and they cried…
This was a night destined to be remembered. Many years later, when they recalled this night, some people might not be able to forget it while others would just smile and move on…
Who knew what the future held?
Wang Teng sent Lin Chuhan home.
He parked his car at the side. The road leading to Lin Chuhan's house was a little narrow, so his car couldn't go in. They had to walk for some distance.
"Why don't you accompany me for a walk?" asked Lin Chuhan.
Lin Chuhan and Wang Teng walked into the small alley. Their surroundings were quiet, and only their footsteps accompanied them.
The road lamps gave off an orange light, casting a long shadow behind them. The shadows started to merge gradually.
The route wasn't very long. After some time, they finished walking. Wang Teng sent Lin Chuhan to the entrance of her house.
"I'm going back now," he said.
"Okay." Lin Chuhan nodded her head gently.
Wang Teng remained silent for a moment. Eventually, he didn't say anything. He just turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, Lin Chuhan's voice was heard again. "Hey, if I get into Donghai University, will you come and see me?"
Wang Teng turned around and glanced at Lin Chuhan.
Her face was covered by the shadows of the house behind her. He couldn't see her expression.
"I'll visit you if I'm free."
He waved his hand and left in huge strides.
Three days later, Wang Teng received the enrollment letter from Huanghai Military Academy.
Indeed, they replied really quickly.
Although it was certain that Wang Teng would be accepted, Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei only felt relieved once they had the admission letter in their hands.
The two adults looked at the letter for a long time. They couldn't hide the smile on their faces.
"Tsk, tsk, a military academy. My son is so outstanding!" Wang Shengguo clicked his tongue and said happily.
"He's my son too!" Li Xiumei said proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes, he's our son."
"Quick, let's give a call to our fathers to inform them," Li Xiumei said hurriedly.
Wang Shengguo slapped his forehead and picked up his phone, which was on the table. He gave his father a call and told him the good news.
The two grandfathers laughed happily. They kept praising Wang Teng.
Their grandson was amazing!
Surprisingly, the two grandfathers had the same thought. They said that they wanted to organize a graduation banquet for Wang Teng when he was free.
However, Wang Teng felt that these two old kids just wanted to flaunt in front of their friends.
Still, considering that he had to head to Xingwu Continent soon and needed to make preparations for the trip, he decided to hold the banquet just before his university started.
The two grandfathers agreed with him naturally. They spoke a few more words and hung up.
Then, Wang Teng received Lin Chuhan's message. She got in!
Donghai University!
She finally got into Donghai University, and it was even the martial arts course.
Wang Teng felt happy for her. Donghai Technology University was at least two levels lower than Donghai University. Entering Donghai University would affect Lin Chuhan's future greatly.
At night, Fu Tiandao called and asked Wang Teng to come to the martial arts academy.
Jixin Martial House.
This time, Wang Teng went directly to the martial warrior building. He saw Fu Tiandao, who had been waiting here since a long time ago, as well as five other new faces.
From afar, he could feel a powerful and fierce aura surging towards him.

Chapter 108: Tiger Warrior Team
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were no other martial warriors in the training lobby of the martial warrior building.
Only Fu Tiandao and the five people were present.
The five figures stood lazily beside Fu Tiandao. Even so, their presence could not be ignored.
Wang Teng was slightly astonished when he felt the aura these people were releasing.
"Principal!"
He walked over and greeted him.
"Hi!" Fu Tiandao nodded and smiled. "You came pretty quickly. Come, let me introduce them to you. They are the Tiger Warrior martial warrior team.
"This is an outstanding team I picked out from more than ten teams. They are experienced in field operations and actual combat.
"Also, all the team members are 3-star soldier-level martial warriors. Their team leader is a 3-star peak-level martial warrior. He's only a step away from breaking into the 4-star level. If you follow them to Xingwu Continent, your safety can be guaranteed."
After he finished speaking, he said to the muscular young man among the five people, "Lin Zhan, this is the top scholar of the martial arts exam this year, the person I've been telling you about—Wang Teng.
"He will be following you in the future."
The muscular young man nodded and stepped forward. He raised his hand and said, "Hello, I'm the leader of the Tiger Warrior team, Lin Zhan."
Wang Teng looked at the two meters tall and bulky figure. He could discern that the person was releasing his aura purposely. He smiled gently in response. "Hello, I'm Wang Teng. Please take care of me in the future."
He stretched his hand out and held Lin Zhan's hand.
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds.
The two people were confronting each other secretly. Although they had smiles on their faces, they were actually cursing in their hearts.
This brat is very strong! Lin Zhan was surprised. He didn't use his full force, but he was close to becoming a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior.
Yet, Wang Teng was able to withstand his pressure for so long.
Looking at his expression, he doesn't seem to be having any troubles. And he isn't pretending either. Looks like he's really a capable person… Lin Zhan thought to himself.
"Hahaha, as expected of the top scholar in the martial arts exam!" Lin Zhan laughed heartily and released his hand.
He knew when to stop.
He didn't exert any more force. He still wanted his dignity as a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior.
"You're speaking too highly of me." Wang Teng smiled. He wasn't annoyed or furious by the other party's tricks.
He came out of nowhere, and the principal had stuffed him into their team. It was impossible for them not to have any unhappiness.
Thus, he didn't blame the other party for testing him.
If he was too weak, the Tiger Warrior team might regret their decision on the spot.
"Lin Zhan, I didn't lie to you, right?" asked Fu Tiandao.
"Principal, what are you saying? I've always trusted you." Lin Zhan sniggered.
At this moment, the other four members of the Tiger Warrior team looked at each other. They could see a hint of astonishment in one another's eyes.
"All of you can introduce yourselves too," Lin Zhan said to them.
"I'm Yang Fei, an earth element martial warrior," a humble-looking young man opened his mouth first and said.
"Yan Jinming, fire element martial warrior."
"Hello, hello, I'm Yan Jinyue, a wood element martial warrior."
The two people who spoke next were a pair of siblings. The man was fair and quite handsome.
Wang Teng touched his chin. Hmmm… he's just a little less handsome than me.
As for the lady, since they were siblings, she wouldn't be any worse. She looked dainty and pretty.
She was even a little shy and seemed a little confused. Wang Teng was surprised. She didn't look like an experienced martial warrior.
However, Wang Teng knew that he shouldn't see things from the surface.
When the other party wasn't shy, he briefly felt the aura she displayed. It was real.
As for the last person…
It was a young lady with a mature temperament.
"Liu Yan. I'm a fire element martial warrior too."
The lady smiled and revealed her sparkly white teeth. She seemed bright and cheerful, someone who would put a smile on other's faces with her energetic personality. She patted Wang Teng's shoulder and told him, "Little Brother Wang, follow me in the future. I will protect you. Don't worry, there will be benefits too."
She even winked at him after she spoke.
"Enough, Liu Yan. Don't tease the young man anymore." Lin Zhan shook his head helplessly. "You know my name already. I'm a metal element martial warrior."
Wang Teng's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Zhan's attribute.
Not bad, not bad!
This was exactly the element he lacked out of the five main elements.
This Leader Lin might help him get some metal attributes.
Lin Zhan suddenly felt as though he got eyed by a star beast. He frowned, but when he observed carefully, he didn't see anything.
Strange. What happened just now?
He glanced at Wang Teng. He hadn't noticed the glimmer in Wang Teng's eyes just now, so he didn't know whether he was the one who gave him that feeling or not.
It seems like it's just my illusion.
Maybe I haven't recovered because I just came back from Xingwu Continent. Lin Zhan shook his head.
Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief. The more he looked at Lin Zhan, the more he felt that this was a fat and huge sheep. He was a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior, almost!
He must get close to him quickly. He could lay his hands on him easier if he got more familiar with him.
Oh, he mustn't let go of the other four martial warriors either. They would share happiness and difficulties together!
We will definitely be good teammates in the future…
While these thoughts raced in his mind, he didn't forget to introduce himself, "I'm an ice element martial warrior, one-star soldier level."
"Ice element martial warrior!"
The five people from the Tiger Warrior team were amazed. Before this, they only knew that Wang Teng was the top scholar of the martial arts exam and had become a martial warrior at a young age.
At that time, they were already surprised enough.
They didn't expect him to be a mutated element martial warrior…
This was a talent!
They couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts.
"Okay. Today, I just wanted to introduce everyone. Since you've met each other, I'll let you deal with the matters after this," said Fu Tiandao.
He reminded them again after he said that sentence. "Lin Zhan, I'll hand Wang Teng over to you. Lead him properly."
"Don't worry, principal." Lin Zhan nodded.
"Wang Teng, I put you in the Tiger Warrior team because I hope that you can follow them and learn how to fight with star beasts and gain relevant experience. This is a chance for you to go to Xingwu Continent to practice before anyone else. However, you have to work hard. You must treat this opportunity seriously. You can't always rely on the other members of the team to help you. When you come back one month later, if Lin Zhan and the other team members give bad feedback and say that you didn't meet their criteria, I can only remove you from the team," Fu Tiandao said to Wang Teng.
"I understand." Wang Teng nodded.
"That's great." Fu Tiandao didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and left.
After Fu Tiandao left, Lin Zhan said, "We just came back from Xingwu Continent and need to rest for two days. We will leave for Xingwu Continent again two days later."
"Okay." Wang Teng had no objections.
"Have you bought your weapons and equipment?" Lin Zhan nodded.
"I have my weapons but no equipment. What equipment do I need?" asked Wang Teng.
Lin Zhan shook his head secretly. As expected, he was still a newbie.
He explained to him patiently, "You will need a set of battle uniforms. A good battle uniform will fit your body perfectly. It must be comfortable to wear and shouldn't affect your movements when fighting. Its defense ability needs to be good too. You have to choose your uniform carefully. Then, you will also need a bag. A communication watch is a must…"
"Can I use this watch as a communication watch?" Wang Teng showed him the watch that Fu Tiandao gave him the other day.

Chapter 109: Buy, Buy, Buy!
"Black… This is the special internal wristwatch of the martial arts academy!"
Lin Zhan had a look of astonishment when he saw Wang Teng's watch. He even seemed a little envious.
"What? A special internal wristwatch… Let me take a look. Let me take a look."
The other four members of the team were also shocked. They surrounded Wang Teng and kept staring at the watch on his wrist continuously.
"Oh my god, it's actually the special internal wristwatch!" Liu Yan gasped in admiration. "Little Brother Wang, I'm really envious of the way the academy treats you!"
"Is this very rare?" Wang Teng asked in surprise.
"Of course. It's expensive, and you might not be able to get it even if you have the money. One needs to be a 5-star soldier-level martial warrior before he can use this item. It's like a status symbol," said Lin Zhan.
No wonder he was jealous. After all, only a 5-star soldier-level martial warrior was able to use this, and he had barely touched the entrance of the 4-star soldier level.
"Why did the principal give this to me? Did you see it wrong? What if they just look alike?"
Lin Zhan felt that this might be a possibility too. "Take it down and let me look at it carefully."
Wang Teng took off his wristwatch and gave it to him.
Lin Zhan carefully examined the watch. Then, he passed it back to Wang Teng and sighed. "It's real. Look at the back; there's a symbol there. That can't be fake."
"Oh right, I remember that the academy might give this special internal wristwatch to some potential martial warriors in the academy whom they had high hopes for."
"Leader, why are you so clear about this?" the fair Yan Jinming suddenly asked.
"I… I heard other people mention it before." Lin Zhan glared at Yan Jinming.
Was he supposed to tell them that he secretly went to research about it because he was jealous?
"Oh…" Yan Jinming dragged out his words.
"Oh…" The other members followed his example.
"F*k, are you looking for a beating? Looks like I need to find time to train all of you properly." Lin Zhan was flustered and exasperated.
"Our leader is angry!"
"Our leader is angry!"
Lin Zhan: …
Why did he have a bunch of stupid team members? He suddenly felt tired.
Wang Teng couldn't help but smile.
Lin Zhan coughed awkwardly and continued, "Since you already have a wristwatch, you don't have to buy another one. The main thing will be the weapons. What weapons do you have now? What grade are they?"
"Sword and boxing gloves. The sword is one-star elite-class while the boxing gloves are one-star high-class," Wang Teng replied.
Lin Zhan frowned. "Two weapons? One-star elite-class and one-star high-class. You can use them, but they might not be good enough. If you meet a 2-star star beast, they will break very easily. I suggest that you buy 2-star weapons or above. That way, when you meet 2-star star beasts or more powerful ones, you will be able to help and cooperate with the team members to kill the beasts even if you're not the main force.
"This is good for you too. After all, you can only grow faster if you meet stronger star beasts."
"I will go and take a look at 2-star and above weapons later." Wang Teng nodded.
He couldn't help but think of the owners of the boxing gloves and the battle sword. They were probably… very poor!
Look at Leader Lin. He seemed so relaxed when talking about 2-star weapons. They were nothing to him.
This was the difference!
"Also, you need a shield. In a battle, any accidents can be deadly. You must have all your defense weapons ready at all times," said Lin Zhan.
He patiently explained all the items Wang Teng needed to prepare. Wang Teng listened to him in all seriousness.
Then, everyone left.
They agreed to meet again two days later.
Wang Teng went back home and immediately started his preparations.
He connected his wristwatch to his computer and logged into the internal web of Jixin Martial House.
When he received his notification letter two days ago, he had already tested the internal web of Jixin Martial House. Now, he was pretty familiar with it.
There were a few tabs on the internal web. They included scripture chamber, battle techniques hall, weapons stall, spiritual dan workshop, and many more.
You could buy all sorts of resources from the internal web… secret scriptures, Force battle techniques, all kinds of weapons, rare spiritual dan, and whatnot.
There were even guns, modern transportation devices, and the battle uniforms that Lin Zhan had mentioned. All of them were sold on the web.
As long as you had the money, you could buy anything.
And, Wang Teng had plenty of money.
When Jixin Martial House gave him the SSS-grade contract, they had promised to allocate him one billion RMB of cultivation funds.
Although this one billion would be in batches, he still had a hundred million now. It was enough for him to spend.
This large sum could only be used in the internal web of Jixin Martial House. Thus, Wang Teng had no pressure when he spent the money. After all, this cultivation fund wasn't real cash. Its worth could only be realized if he spent it.
He started a shopping spree.
Battle uniforms had different grades too.
Wang Teng bought a set of 5-star battle uniforms that included a pair of battle boots. It cost five million.
Then, he looked at the weapons.
Wang Teng pondered for a moment. Since his ability was always rising, he might not be able to use a 2-star weapon for long. Thus, he decided on a 3-star weapon.
However, 3-star weapons were honestly not cheap.
One 3-star fiery flame series battle sword actually cost 15 million!
"So expensive!"
He complained, but he still bought it.
"These boxing gloves… Forget it. I won't buy them for now.
"Oh right, I can buy a bow. A bow should be more useful when fighting with a star beast."
Wang Teng contemplated and decided to buy a 3-star heavy bow. The strength requirement for this bow was high, but it also meant that it was more powerful.
"Also… weapons that use spiritual power."
He couldn't help but frown.
During the past few days, he had especially researched this invisible force. He found related content in the martial warriors' forum on the internal web.
The invisible force was indeed spiritual power.
However, most people were born with spiritual power. It was a talent. You couldn't acquire it through hard work and effort.
Some people had a powerful spirit, but they might not be able to change it to spiritual power.
Spirit and spiritual power were two different concepts.
People with powerful spirits could learn weapon-making, rune carving, and even dan concocting…
If you talked about offensive attacks, they could at most form a wave of pressure with their spirits. They would use it to exert pressure on their opponents.
Normally, the stronger you were, the more powerful your spirit was.
This was why powerful warriors had such oppressive auras. It was hard to withstand their force of presence.
Spiritual power was different. It could be used as a controlling method. One could use it to control weapons for attacking and could even turn their spiritual power into an attack. They were able to launch spiritual attacks on their opponents.
The latter used some secret skills to form special attacking methods. It all sounded mysterious and powerful.
A spiritual attack was enough to turn a person into a vegetable. If it was more serious, it could destroy a soul immediately.
It was strange and sinister, and it was hard to guard against such attacks.
However, these secret scriptures were extremely rare and precious. Wang Teng had searched the internal web for it before.
He found them, but there were only a few. All of them cost a few billion. He couldn't afford them at all.
Thus, he could only use one type of attacking method—manipulating weapons from afar!
The weapons suitable for this should be small, light, and extremely sharp.
For instance, flying daggers, flying needles, etc.

Chapter 110: Shooting Star Spiral
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"Flying needle, flying needle… which one should I choose?"
Wang Teng was in a dilemma as he looked through the weapons shop one by one. Suddenly, his eyes paused on a name.
Huh?
He saw a familiar name.
Master Lu!
Partner of Jixin Martial House—Master Lu!
What the hell?
Master Lu was a partner of Jixin Martial House? Were his connections so amazing?
"I wonder if it's the same shop."
Wang Teng muttered to himself. He clicked on the shop name on the web and went to look for the customer service window. He then sent a message.
Wang Teng: Are you there?
Master Lu: I'm here, dear (づ ̄3 ̄)づ~ Is there anything I can help you with?
This familiar tone and these familiar emoticons and expressions.
It was confirmed!
This was the Master Lu he knew.
Wang Teng: I'm an old customer. I bought a weapon carrier casket and rune bullets from your shop before. Do you remember me?
Master Lu: Oh, it's you, dear. What a coincidence.
Wang Teng: You are a partner of Jixin Martial House?
Master Lu: Yes, dear. Our shop is the partner of the top three martial arts academies. I haven't congratulated you for entering Jixin Martial House, dear.
Wang Teng didn't directly praise his amazing connections.
Wang Teng: You have a wide range of avenues for your business.
Master Lu: Haha, thank you for your compliment. We are an old brand. You don't have to worry about our credibility and quality.
Wang Teng felt that this Master Lu really looked like an old hand. Even a big organization like Jixin Martial House acknowledged his shop. That meant that it was indeed a credible brand.
Wang Teng: Do you have flying daggers or flying needles? Or any weapons similar to them?
Since he had met someone familiar, naturally, Wang Teng was too lazy to look at other shops.
He had bought twice from Master Lu. This shop's quality could be trusted.
Master Lu immediately sent a few links to him.
Master Lu: Dear, you can take a look at these first. These should be the things you are looking for. If you are satisfied with them, you can place an order.
Wang Teng opened the links one by one.
The first link was a type of flying dagger with six daggers in one set. They were all of different sizes. The price tag was 1.5 million!
But it was just a 1-star high-class weapon.
The second link was a set of flying needles. The thickness of the needles was suitable, and there were 18 needles in total. Every single one was the length of an adult's forefinger; they were hard and ductile. The price was 2 million!
It was a 1-star high-class weapon too, but it cost 500,000 RMB more than the flying dagger.
Wang Teng was actually quite satisfied with these two weapons.
There were more links at the back, so he continued looking.
The following few weapons were either flying darts or flying thorns. Their designs were terrible, and they weren't up to Wang Teng's aesthetic standards at all.
He slowly lost his interest.
However, there was still one last link. Since Master Lu had sent it to him, he should take a look at it.
When the link opened, he saw a strange-looking weapon. It was shaped like a spiral cone. At one glance, it looked very ordinary, with nothing special about it.
Shooting star spiral!
Wang Teng mouthed the name of this last weapon. He couldn't help but feel a little curious. Then, he scrolled to the description at the back.
"What is this?"
A page breakdown drawing appeared in front of him.
This weapon could actually be broken down. It could turn into a long and thin flying dagger, a rhombus leaf design, and flying needles…
There were nine assemblies altogether.
This is interesting!
There were instructions at the side. Wang Teng looked at it carefully.
The instructions mentioned that you could assemble the parts together and use them all as one weapon. While attacking your enemy, you could control the weapon with your spiritual power and let it disintegrate in a split second. It would form nine different attacks. You would be able to catch your enemy off guard.
It was obvious that this weapon was tailored for spiritual power masters.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. He felt that this weapon was very suitable for him. This was a must-have for sinister people.
He looked at the price. 5 million!
This weapon had reached the standard of 1-star elite class, but its price was 1.5 million more than the battle sword he got on Mount Bao'an. That battle sword was 1-star elite-class too.
Wang Teng found it a pity that this weapon's class was a little low.
He found it very weird that the links sent by the other party were all one-star weapons. Did he think that he couldn't afford anything more expensive?
Wang Teng sent him a message.
Wang Teng: Why are there only 1-star weapons?
Master Lu: Oh, you see. These weapons are only used by spiritual power masters normally, and they like to customize their weapons. Hence, our shop only has 1-star weapons to let them use while they're waiting for their order.
Custom made! So this is how it works? Wang Teng had a sudden thought. He took out the dark ice stone and the star bone. He snapped a photo of them and sent it to Master Lu.
Wang Teng: Do you recognize these two items?
He wasn't worried that the other party would have evil intentions at the sight of money. If that were the case, his shop wouldn't be able to exist for so long.
Also, Master Lu was the official partner of Jixin Martial House. With Jixin Martial House as the guarantor, there wouldn't be any problems.
When the other party saw the two items, he sent a list of surprised emoticons within a few seconds.
Then…
Master Lu: Dear, are you willing to sell these items? ( ̄) ̄)
Wang Teng: ??
Wang Teng replied angrily: No!
Master Lu: Ah~ Dear, why don't you consider it again? I'm sure that you'll be satisfied with the price ヾ()ノ
Wang Teng: Go away!
The other party sent a depressed emoticon and then asked: Are you planning to use the dark ice stone and the star bone to make weapons?
Wang Teng: Yes
Master Lu: Looking at their sizes, it's impossible to forge large weapons with them. Even if we use other materials as the main ingredient, the weapon forged will be affected by the main material's limitations. Its class won't be too high. It will be a waste unless you are able to find a material with a similar grade as the dark ice stone.
Master Lu: But, that is hard. From your words, I think that you want to forge small weapons like flying daggers, right?
Master Lu: In that case, these items are very suitable. You might even have some leftovers, which you can use to forge another set of flying needles.
Master Lu: You will be able to use these two treasures to their maximum potential. You won't have to waste them.
Wang Teng nodded. This Master Lu was indeed a professional. His analysis was clear and logical.
Master Lu: Oh right, what talent does your star bone have?
Wang Teng hesitated for a moment before he explained its talent briefly to the other party.
Master Lu: It's actually 'spiritual shadow.' This is a rare talent. That means that it's even more suitable to be forged into a concealed weapon.
Wang Teng: I want something like a shooting star spiral.
Master Lu: Erm…
Wang Teng frowned: Why? Is it not possible?
Master Lu: Your taste is as tricky as always. That shooting star spiral was created by my grandfather before he passed away. I don't know how to make it.
Wang Teng was speechless.
Wang Teng: Your grandfather again! Why is your grandfather so impressive when you're so useless. Others always say that the younger generation is better than the older generation. But, for you, the older generation is the impressive one!
1
Master Lu: o()o
Master Lu: I don't want this to happen either. How about this? Give me some time, and I'll study the blueprint left behind by my grandfather. I'll see if I can make it. I'll inform you again.
Wang Teng: Alright, I guess this is the only way. Please don't disappoint me!
Master Lu: ヾ()ノ゙
Wang Teng: I'll place an order first. You can send the existing shooting star spiral to me.
Master Lu: No way, dear. I still need it for research.
Wang Teng: …Are you planning to dismantle it?
Master Lu: Hahaha, you can trust me more. I can piece it back!
The other party seemed a little guilty as it sent a laughing emoticon over.

Chapter 111: Moving Mountain Blade Skill
Wang Teng felt helpless. He could only buy a set of 1-star high-class flying daggers from Master Lu first.
He spent 1.5 million so easily.
Then, he bought a backpack and all kinds of necessities, such as treatment medications and antidotes for poison. He spent around 3 million on these items.
Following Leader Lin's introduction, he didn't forget to buy a 2-star shield that cost 6 million.
He also bought the battle sword he saw at first and the heavy style bow.
Within a short time, he was only left with 58 million out of his 100 million cultivation fund.
If Wang Shengguo knew that Wang Teng was spending money so lavishly, he would probably have a headache for a long time.
What a wastrel!
Wang Teng looked at his balance and felt frustrated for a moment.
What should I do if I can't finish spending the money?
This is very urgent! I need an answer immediately.
Oh right, there are still scriptures and battle techniques!
Wang Teng suddenly remembered. He only had the scriptures and battle techniques for the fire element, ice element, and earth element. He didn't have anything for his wood, water, and poison elements.
Especially the poison attribute. This was a rare element.
He looked through the scripture chamber of Jixin Martial House and didn't manage to find any scriptures related to the poison element.
Wang Teng shook his head. He had to give up.
Just as he was going to look at the wood and water element scriptures, he had a sudden thought.
He tried to utilize his wood and water elements, but he realized that these two elements just stayed in his body. They didn't listen to his command.
As expected, I can't use these elements if I don't get the corresponding physique talent. Even if I buy secret scriptures for wood and water elements now, I can't cultivate them.
Wang Teng gave a bitter smile and stopped what he planned to do.
I still lack an earth element attacking battle technique.
He had his Earth Loess skill, but it consisted of a defensive shield.
All he lacked was an earth element attacking battle technique.
Wang Teng entered the battle techniques hall. All kinds of battle techniques were laid out in front of the buyer, split into different grades.
Scriptures and battle techniques were divided into four different ranks: sky, earth, dark, yellow. Each rank was then split into the low, middle, high, and elite classes.
The Red Flame Scripture and the Deep Ice Scripture were both yellow-rank high-class scriptures. As for the Earth Loess Skill, it was a yellow-rank elite-class technique.
The Fire Kirin Sword and the Phantom Ice Fist were yellow-rank high-class Force battle techniques.
These scriptures and battle techniques were available on the website too. They weren't cheap.
Earth Loess Skill and Deep Ice Scripture cost 80 million.
Red Flame Scripture cost 70 million.
Fire Kirin Sword was 30 million.
Phantom Ice Fist was tagged at 20 million.
Wang Teng was shocked and surprised when he saw the prices.
Oh my god, I am already a billionaire!
He didn't expect these Force skill scriptures and battle techniques to be so expensive. No wonder martial warriors were all wealthy people.
No wonder it was so difficult to become a martial warrior!
Normal people wouldn't be able to afford these prices even if they sold all their assets.
The barrier of entry was too high!
Those powerful wealthy families could fork out the money without any pressure. A normal person, on the other hand, would feel hopeless just thinking about the large sum.
The martial arts exam was a path to success. What they said was right. Wang Teng pondered to himself.
If a student managed to get into the martial arts course, the school would provide them with skill scriptures. Even if it wasn't free, it wouldn't be too expensive. If not, how were the students able to become martial warriors?
Wang Teng shook his head. If he didn't have his bug, the system, he might be worrying over his scriptures and battle techniques too. This was… really difficult.
He gathered his thoughts and started scrolling through the earth Force battle techniques.
'Mountain Shattering Strength', yellow-rank low-class—5 million.
'Rock Breaking Punch', yellow-rank middle-class—10 million.
'Mountain Rock Smash', yellow-rank elite-class—200 million.
'Moving Mountain Blade Skill', dark-level low-class—500 million.
When they reached the dark level, the prices of the Force battle techniques surged exponentially. After glancing at his remaining money, Wang Teng decided to buy the dark-level low-class Moving Mountain Blade Skill.
He was going to the Xingwu Continent soon. He didn't know what dangers were over there, so it was better to grasp a powerful battle technique!
This dark-level low-class Moving Mountain Blade skill was definitely more powerful than the yellow-rank Fire Kirin Sword skill and Phantom Ice Fist.
Since he was practicing a blade skill, he would need a blade.
He had 80 million left. Wang Teng decided to buy a 2-star high-class battle blade.
Wang Teng had officially spent all the cultivation funds he was given for this period.
As for cultivation resources like energy stones and dan pills, he didn't buy them because they weren't as good as attribute bubbles.
He needed to spend money on things that he didn't have.
To other people, increasing their ability was the most important thing. Hence, they would probably buy all kinds of cultivation resources first.
But, to Wang Teng, weapons and battle techniques were what he lacked.
Also, whether it was dan pills or energy stones, they contained a certain amount of impurities. If he absorbed the Force in them, the impurities would be assimilated into his body too.
As time went by, the impurities would accumulate in his body. It would affect his martial warrior's realm.
Thus, he mustn't use too many of them.
He knew the details of the items. As a cheater with a system, Wang Teng scorned the thought of using these cheap goods.
He didn't touch the ice element energy stone and the ice element dan Principal Yu gave him. He planned to use them in other areas or sell them away to earn some small cash.
The next day, the items that Wang Teng bought arrived.
The delivery person was a man wearing a black suit and black sunglasses. It made him look a little mysterious.
Under his command, the staff carried the boxes down the car one by one.
"Are you Mr. Wang Teng? Please use your account number to open the boxes and check the items inside," the man in black said.
Wang Teng nodded. He used his wristwatch to scan an area at the side of the boxes. The boxes opened automatically.
He counted the items. They were all delivered.
"Mr. Wang Teng, if there's no problem, please sign here."
The man in black passed the invoice over. When he saw the items in the boxes from the corner of his eyes, he was secretly dumbstruck…
How wealthy!
After Wang Teng signed and acknowledged the delivery, the man left with his staff.
Wang Teng carried the boxes up the stairs and tidied them up. He placed them at the side and then plugged a USB into his computer.
Moving Mountain Blade!
A row of words entered his vision…
Time passed quickly. Soon, it was time to gather and meet the other members of the Tiger Warrior team.
Wang Teng had an enriching two days. He prepared everything he should prepare, and he had already started practicing the Moving Mountain Blade skill.
He looked at his attributes panel.
Moving Mountain Blade skill (foundation 5/100)
It was just at the foundation stage, and his proficiency was very low. Wang Teng did have 35 blank attributes left, but he wasn't in a hurry to use them.
In the morning, Wang Teng ate breakfast with his family.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei wanted to speak but had no idea what to say. Understandably, they were both concerned. However, they didn't dare to show it.
"Dad, I have a right to purchase form for the Deer Garden. If you have time, you can take a look and buy a bigger house there. Try to move there as soon as possible," Wang Teng said.
"Okay, leave it to me. Don't worry about it." Wang Shengguo nodded.
"I'll be leaving!" Wang Teng finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth, and got up.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei sent him to the door. They hesitated for a moment. In the end, all their worries and emotions congregated into a single sentence.
"Take care, and come back safely!"

Chapter 112: Entering Xingwu Continent And Space Talent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jixin Martial House.
Wang Teng met the other five people from the Tiger Warrior team.
Wang Teng was wearing his battle uniform and battle boots. He had a backpack on his back and the weapon carrier casket on his shoulder.
All his weapons were placed inside his weapon carrier casket. Even his heavy bow was able to fit inside.
He had to admit that the design of the weapon carrier casket was amazing. Although it wasn't big, it utilized all the space inside to its maximum potential.
All he needed to carry in his hand was the shield.
As for the flying daggers, he placed them in his clothes. That way, he would be able to launch a deadly attack with just a move of his thoughts.
As compared to Lin Zhan and the other members, his equipment was considered relatively simple.
The other five members had many bags on them, some even sporting luggage bags. When Wang Teng asked them about it, he learned that they were filled with ammunition.
He moved his eyes around and saw the heavy rune machine gun Liu Yan was carrying on her back.
Who said that only men were allowed to use guns?
Guns and beauties.
1
They were a match made in heaven.
Liu Yan wore a tight-fitting battle uniform, showcasing her figure. Along with the rough-looking heavy machine gun, she exuded a wild and fierce kind of charm.
Wang Teng shifted his gaze and looked at the two large-sized battleaxes in Lin Zhan's hands… He could only exclaim in his heart, That's a real man!
Yang Fei was using a mace, while Yan Jinming and Yan Jinyue used a blade and a sword, respectively. When they stood together, they gave off a capable and mature aura.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's set off."
With a wave of Lin Zhan's hand, everyone grabbed their luggage. They boarded the car and headed in a direction.
Half an hour later, the car drove into a military camp.
"This military camp was erected after the dimensional rift leading to Xingwu Continent appeared. It's heavily guarded, and there are many martial warriors hidden in the surroundings to prevent any accidents from happening," Lin Zhan explained.
Their car was stopped at a checkpoint. The five members took out their martial warrior credentials and passed them to the guard.
Wang Teng saw their actions and followed their example, taking out his martial warrior credential too.
The guard was holding a scanning device. He scanned the martial warrior credentials one by one before scanning everyone's faces. After confirming that there were no errors, he let them in.
Lin Zhan explained as he drove into the military camp, "You won't be able to enter this place if you don't have your martial warrior credential on you."
Along the way, they could see a huge number of patrols in the camp.
They parked the car in the parking lot and locked it. Then, they came to a plaza.
There weren't many people here. The most conspicuous thing was the gigantic door frame made of steel right in the middle of the plaza.
It was at least 30 meters tall, around 20 meters wide, and was shaped like a circular arc.
In the middle of the door frame was a pitch-black, deep, and long whirlpool. Once you glanced at the whirlpool, your gaze would be attracted by it unconsciously.
Honestly, anyone who saw the dimensional rift for the first time would get a shock.
Wang Teng was no exception. At this moment, he was standing in front of the enormous door frame, unable to speak for a long time.
"What do you think? Are you blown away?" Lin Zhan smiled and asked.
The other four members looked at Wang Teng with smiles on their faces. In the past, they had a similar expression when they saw the dimensional rifts for the first time.
Wang Teng nodded.
"Let's go. When you reach Xingwu Continent, you will be even more flabbergasted," Lin Zhan smiled and continued. He was the first to walk towards the door.
There were many large machines placed at the side of the gigantic door. Wang Teng didn't know whether they were used to stabilize the dimensional rift or to monitor something. There were also staff operating the machines, keeping a vigilant eye on things.
These staff members ignored Wang Teng and the team members.
Wang Teng glanced at them and then followed his team members. He walked forward.
Lin Zhan and the rest passed through the dimensional rift without stopping.
Wang Teng took a deep breath and then followed them closely. He stepped through the door.
It felt like an instant, yet at the same time, it felt like a long time had passed. His world was spinning and his vision had turned pitch black…
Suddenly, he felt solid ground under his feet. Wang Teng opened his eyes. Lin Zhan and the rest of them were standing not far away.
They had already recovered from the teleportation. When they saw Wang Teng recovering so quickly, they were surprised.
When they passed through the dimensional rift the first time, they had retched for a long time, and their heads hurt terribly. They had to rest for half a day before they could move normally.
This fellow is not ordinary! They exchanged glances with one another. This thought appeared in their minds in unplanned unison.
Wang Teng had no idea what they were thinking. At this moment, his gaze was attracted by the attribute bubbles beside those people.
There was a bubble below his feet too.
Where did these bubbles come from? Wang Teng was puzzled.
Space*0.1
Space*0.1
Space attribute!
They were space attributes!
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. He never imagined that these bubbles would actually be space attributes!
Could they be from the dimensional rift?
While pondering, he didn't forget to pick up the bubbles.
Ever since getting spiritual power, he had tried many experiments. Now, he was able to use his spiritual power to pull the attribute bubbles towards him. He didn't have to walk around and pick them up anymore.
If not, other people would always look at him as if he were an idiot when he ran around everywhere.
In the past, he could barely stand the glances thrown at him. However, for the sake of picking up attributes, he became an idiot again and again.
Finally, he was freed from that torture!
He didn't have to be an idiot anymore!
He pulled all the bubbles beside his team members toward him and collected them.
Space*0.8
His space attribute increased by 0.8 points. Wang Teng's gaze landed on his attributes panel. He finally saw a change in his talent row.
Space (0.8/1000)
It's a talent attribute!
Wang Teng's heart was filled with ecstasy. This was a gift from heaven!
The moment he entered Xingwu Continent, he was given such a huge surprise!
It looked like Xingwu Continent was very friendly towards him.
Although he didn't know the exact use of this space talent, he had some idea of what it entailed.
In those game novels, they always boasted about how fantastic space talent was. Hence, this space talent wouldn't be too shabby!
Just as Wang Teng was thinking about this, Lin Zhan opened his mouth with a smile. "Welcome to the Xingwu Continent!"
Wang Teng regained his senses.
Xingwu Continent!
Oh right, he had come to the Xingwu Continent!
He scanned his surroundings. This seemed to be a giant hall. There was a huge circular arc door frame behind him that looked similar to the one on the other end of the dimensional rift. The whirlpool in the depth of the door was spinning slowly.
"Let's go out and take a look," Lin Zhan said and walked out.
The other followed him closely.
When they walked through the door and reached outside, Wang Teng realized that they were in a tall tower just now.
At the moment, they were standing at the bottom of the tower.
"This is the Force tower! It's situated in the middle of the city. The entire city's energy is supplied by this tower," said Lin Zhan.
Wang Teng raised his head and noticed that the tower was a few hundred meters tall. Its entire structure was made of steel, and it pierced into the clouds like a steep and dangerous peak.
There were countless occult runes carved on the building.
At the bottom of the tower was a plaza. Unknown black rocks paved its floor, and they were carved with runes, too, exuding a mysterious aura.
Wang Teng felt a vast and powerful pressure pushing him down from the sky. He was dumbfounded.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"This is the product of the Xingwu Continent's civilization. Do you find it a little unbelievable?" asked Lin Zhan.
"This Xingwu Continent is indeed a little different from my imagination!" Wang Teng breathed out loud as he replied.

Chapter 113: I Saw A Back View!
Xingwu Continent was the name of the main continent in this Otherworld.
A vast city was magnificently situated in the south of the Xingwu Continent.
At this moment, in the center of the city, in an enormous palace, a young man was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall. There was an ancient-style tortoiseshell laid in front of him. It was the size of his palm.
He knocked the tortoiseshell slowly and gently. It gave off a clear and loud knocking sound.
Stars were shimmering in his eyes as if there was a universe hidden in them. Suddenly, the stars spun, and the vacant space around him started retreating.
The next second, the young man abruptly closed his eyes as two lines of blood left a long trail on his cheeks. His black hair turned snow-white in a split second.
It was as if all his vitality had been sucked away.
"What's wrong with you?" A stern and slightly agitated voice rang out in the dark.
The young man waved his hand. After some time, he mocked, "I'm someone at the brink of death. What can happen to me?"
"You…"
The man in the dark took a deep breath. His voice turned back to being stern and indifferent. He then asked, "What did you see? Tell me truthfully!"
"I see a back view."
"A back view? That's all?"
"A back view, a sword that can kill immortals and devils, a blade that can cut the Milky Way, a fist that can destroy the sun…"
"Bullshit!"
"Hmph, you just don't want to believe it. Our world… that person might be our last hope."
"How can he do it alone?"
"Let me give you a piece of sincere advice. Can you let me go?"
The person in the dark turned silent.
"Hmph, I'm about to die. I can't do anything anymore." The young man scoffed.
"You're still my younger brother. If you go outside, you won't be able to survive with your weak body. I can't let you go out to die."
"I'm already no different from a dead person. It doesn't matter if you let me leave or not. Why can't you allow me to have one last look at the world before I die? It's about to…"
"Enough!" the man in the dark shouted in a low voice. Then, he sighed and said, "Forget it. You can leave. You can come back anytime you want to. This place will always be your home."
"That person, don't have any interactions with him!" The young man dropped this sentence and kept the tortoiseshell on the ground. He had nothing else he needed to pack. He staggered his way out of the hall…
He wouldn't be coming back!
"Let's go," Lin Zhan said as they stood at the bottom of the tall tower.
There were long staircases in all four directions of the tall tower. They climbed down the stairs and walked for a distance.
They soon passed through a door. The next instant, a whole new world entered Wang Teng's vision. The prosperous street with an exotic aura welcomed him to a new adventure.
This was a giant city made of steel. The entire city seemed to be in the Middle Ages, but there weren't any steam products.
The buildings in the city had a foreign style, but hints of Earth architecture could also be found. The integration of two different styles had resulted in a unique design.
The people on the streets were all dressed distinctively, and their dressing was completely different from humans on Earth. However, you were able to see some people in battle uniforms occasionally.
"Why does that lady…" Wang Teng was stunned when he saw the ears of a lady that walked past.
"This is a young lady from the rabbit tribe of the orc race. Old Brother Wang, it looks like we are the same kind. You noticed her at one glance." Yan Jinming placed his arm on Wang Teng's shoulder and sniggered.
"Brother, don't lead Wang Teng astray." Yan Jinyue was displeased.
"That won't happen. I'm discussing life philosophy with him," replied Yan Jinming.
Wang Teng was speechless for a few moments. He then asked, "There are other races in the Xingwu Continent?"
"That's right. This place is very different from Earth. When you visit the Jixin Martial House branch in this city, you will be able to learn some basic knowledge of the Xingwu Continent."
Lin Zhan drove a car out of the parking lot after he finished speaking. Then, he brought everyone to the Jixin Martial House branch in this city.
In the car, the other five team members could tell that Wang Teng had many questions in his mind. They started explaining to him without stopping.
For instance, the races in the Xingwu Continent, the language here…
There were many races in the Xingwu Continent, not only the orc. There were the dwarf race, the giant race, the mermen race, and many others.
With so many races, there were naturally many languages. It was quite complicated.
Of course, there was a commonly used language in the continent too. It was the human language.
Wang Teng stuck his tongue out in astonishment.
Orc? Dwarf? Giant? These only exist in novels, right?
There were so many races in the Xingwu Continent!
"You must be shocked. When I first came here, I suspected that we had transmigrated into a novel," said Liu Yan.
"What if we can't speak to the people here properly?" Wang Teng asked.
"Don't worry about that. There's a way to solve it." Liu Yan kept him in suspense.
"I have another question. Since we have peaceful ties with the Xingwu Continent, why can we enter the Xingwu Continent, but the people here can't come to Earth?"
This question had been bothering him for a long time.
"That's because the people here can't pass through the dimensional rifts. A powerful person from the Xingwu Continent once tried to force his way through, but he didn't succeed. Instead, he received a strong backlash and almost lost his life," Lin Zhan jumped in on the conversation.
"What is that so?" Wang Teng got even more puzzled.
"This answer is not something we have the right to know." Lin Zhan gave a bitter smile.
"So, this is the reason why these two worlds can be at peace?" Wang Teng asked again. He was like a curious child with endless questions about the world.
"It's not that simple. There are other reasons too," Lin Zhan replied. He then thought of something, and his expression turned a little ugly. He didn't explain further.
The waters of the Xingwu Continent run deep.
Wang Teng sighed secretly and stopped probing. He just gazed at the scenery outside the car.
The entire Xingwu Continent's civilization seemed to be still in the Iron Age. Whether it was the environment, the buildings, or the atmosphere, it wasn't as advanced as Earth. However, because of the presence of Force and runes, man-made structures that seemed ahead of the times could be seen occasionally.
For instance, the steel cars speeding along the roads, the Force airship flying towards the horizon in the air, and the steel figurines moving freely along the streets with a cracking sound…
The exotic feel and the modern feel were both very strong!
Oh my god, that must be a beauty from the foxmen race. Her figure is so good. She looks so sexy…
Before the car stopped, Wang Teng recognized the branch of Jixin Martial House.
Hmph, that unexpected building!
Everyone got out of the car and walked into the martial arts academy. Lin Zhan directly led Wang Teng to the main building.
The main building of the martial arts academy was different from the one on Earth. Here, it looked more like a distribution center. There were many martial warriors from Jixin Martial House gathered here. They were resting, playing, accepting missions, and some were even selling their spoils of war.
The arrival of Lin Zhan and his team attracted the attention of the people in the hall.
They were all martial warriors from Jixin Martial House, so they always saw each other and were naturally familiar. Someone opened his mouth.
"Hey, Lin Zhan, did you bring a newbie?"
"This newbie looks a little young. Did he become a martial warrior at such a young age?"
"Could he be a young master from some wealthy family?"
Voices came from all directions. with a hint of disdain and mocking in their tones. They didn't care about Wang Teng's feelings at all.
"Don't listen to them. They are all like this. They don't have any evil intentions!" Lin Zhan spoke to Wang Teng. Then, he shouted at those people, "Come on, what do you know? This is the top scholar of the martial arts exam in Donghai this year. Our principal personally told me to bring him along."

Chapter 114: Dark Mist Forest
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"Wow, the top scholar of Donghai's martial arts exam? Are you serious?"
"The top scholar of the martial arts exam this year is so impressive. He's already a martial warrior."
"Looks like he's a genius!"
"Even if he's a genius, he's still a newbie. Do you know what kind of place Xingwu Continent is? Death can happen anytime. It's not easy to guide a newbie here."
Lin Zhan's words caused everyone to immerse in a discussion. Many people were shocked.
"Alright, I'm not chatting with you anymore." Lin Zhan ignored them and led Wang Teng to the middle of the hall.
The hall was very spacious. After passing through many activity areas, they finally reached the center.
There was a circular platform in the middle with a stone placed on it. Complex runes were carved on the surface of the stone. An elder was sitting at the side and dozing off.
"Uncle Hei!" Lin Zhan called him respectfully.
The elder called Uncle Hei opened his eyes and glanced at Lin Zhan. "Oh, it's you. Why are you here?"
"I brought a new person." Lin Zhan moved his body to allow Wang Teng to come forward.
"Another new person!" Uncle Hei looked at Wang Teng. He couldn't help but exclaim curiously. "This fellow is a little hard to read."
Lin Zhan and the other members were stunned.
Uncle Hei guarded this legacy stone all year round. He had seen his fair share of newbies, but he had never given them any comments. This time, he actually made an exception for Wang Teng.
And he commented that Wang Teng was hard to read.
Wang Teng didn't know what the other team members were thinking. When he heard Uncle Hei's words, his heart skipped a beat.
Why are this old man's eyes so sharp?
"Uncle Hei!" He followed Lin Zhan's example and called the elder respectfully.
Uncle Hei nodded. He didn't probe further and said calmly, "Place your hands on this legacy stone."
Legacy stone?
Wang Teng looked at the other team members. When he saw them nodding, he walked forward and placed his hands on the stone.
He didn't see Uncle Hei doing anything, but the runes on the legacy stone suddenly shone brightly.
Just now, that was… spiritual power! Wang Teng thought to himself.
The next second, he felt a series of information entering his mind.
"What is this?"
Although he could guess what the legacy stone was for from its name, he was still flabbergasted when he truly experienced its power.
Within a few seconds, Wang Teng felt that he had learned a new language.
"#¥¥%¥amp;amp;*%…" (Language can be passed down?)
He opened his mouth and realized that he was speaking in an entirely foreign language. His pronunciation was a little strange too. He had a Chinese accent.
Then, he heard Lin Zhan speaking in the same foreign language, "Not bad. When the pioneers came to this world, they realized the existence of this kind of legacy stone. They were able to let people learn the basics of a language within a short time.
"We know how difficult it is to learn a new language, especially in the Xingwu Continent, which has a completely different culture from ours. This makes learning even more difficult. Many people went through hardships, but they were unable to fully grasp the languages of the Xingwu Continent.
"Later on, the powerful factions had no choice but to buy this stone from the Xingwu Continent at a high price to pass down the common language of Xingwu Continent to newcomers."
Wang Teng didn't expect this to happen. He asked, "Does this mean that other knowledge can be passed down through this method too?"
"It's not that simple. It's really difficult to operate the legacy stone. If you want to pass down slightly complicated knowledge, you will need a considerable amount of manpower, wealth, and time. You will also need a profound runemaster before you can attempt to carry out the operation.
"The basic knowledge is easy to learn, so putting it in the legacy stone is useless. It's not worth the effort.
"There are many races in the Xingwu Continent, and their languages are extremely complicated. That was why this common language legacy stone was born.
"The procedure matured gradually over hundreds and thousands of years.
"Until now, the most common and widely used legacy stones in the Xingwu Continent is this kind of common language legacy stones."
Lin Zhan explained everything at length.
Wang Teng nodded to show his understanding. If an item that could affect your memory could be created so easily, no one would need to use their brains to study anymore.
Everything could be passed down through the legacy stone. No one had to tire their brains out, and it would be easy to cultivate laziness. There was a high chance that civilization would come to a standstill. There would be no progress.
1
It was frightening just thinking about the consequences.
After completing the language passing down, Uncle Hei closed his eyes and took a short break. Lin Zhan and the others knew that they should take their leave.
"Give me a cup of spiritual grape wheat beer!"
There were many entertainment facilities in the hall. Lin Zhan didn't seem to be in a hurry to go out. He brought his team to a bar and shouted at the bartender standing behind the counter.
The spiritual grape wheat beer was a specialty of the Xingwu Continent. It didn't have a high alcohol content and the taste was excellent. Many martial warriors loved it.
Lin Zhan took a small booklet from below the bar counter and threw it to Wang Teng. "The things that you want to know are all inside. You can take a look."
Liu Yan and the other team members gathered around the side of the bar counter and ordered some drinks or fruit cocktails that were low in alcohol content. They waited at the side and chatted casually with their friends.
Wang Teng nodded. He opened the small booklet and started reading.
The booklet was a compilation of all the common knowledge one should know about the Xingwu Continent. It wasn't very detailed, but it was extensive.
Time passed quickly. Lin Zhan only called the other team members and got ready to leave after Wang Teng finished reading the booklet.
The time in the Xingwu Continent was around the same as the Earth.
It was around 3 pm now.
Lin Zhan drove a heavy armor vehicle out of the parking lot of the martial arts academy and called everyone to get in.
The wheels of this vehicle were as tall as a human. The car was covered in heavy armor all around, and it looked like a giant steel beast.
The heavy armor vehicle drove out of Yong City.
Yong City was this important city that was connected to Donghai's dimensional rift. When the dimensional rift appeared, the people from Earth had started building this city.
It managed to reach this scale after many years of development.
In the Xingwu Continent, many technological products from Earth were rendered useless. Only Force products could be used.
For instance, the Force tower in the middle of the city and the Force heavy armor vehicle they were in.
This seemed to be the limitation of this world.
Wang Teng had learned all these pieces of information from the small booklet. He was slowly starting to accept the things in the Xingwu Continent.
The front and back seats of the heavy armor vehicle were connected. Although Wang Teng sat at the back, he was able to see the dashboard in the front. This kind of Force vehicle relied on the runes to absorb the Force in the air and changed it to its energy supply. This was quite environmentally friendly.
They went out of the city and drove for more than ten miles. Then, they left the main road and entered the wilderness.
Their surroundings were desolate, with low bushes and tussocks visible. Occasionally, they would alert one or two wild beasts.
The wilderness was endless, and natural ravines existed everywhere. There was no path, but this wasn't a problem for the huge tires of this heavy armor vehicle.
"Our destination this time is the Dark Mist Forest," Lin Zhan shouted against the howl of the wind.
Wang Teng immediately knew what he was talking about. There was an introduction in the booklet.
The Dark Mist Forest was an area that humans were currently exploring, and it was enormous. There were many restricted zones inside with large and powerful star beasts entrenched there. Many strong martial warriors had lost their lives in this place. Even until today, humans had not explored the forest entirely.
Two hours later, when the sun was about to set, a vast forest entered everyone's vision.
Lin Zhan drove the vehicle to the edge of the forest. Then, he stepped on the brakes, drifting the huge car sideways. The tires plowed the ground and formed a mark in the shape of an arc.

Chapter 115: Sneak Attack
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A camp was built by humans outside the Dark Mist Forest. It was like a transfer station.
Lin Zhan parked the car at the camping ground. Then, everyone carried their luggage bags and headed towards the Dark Mist Forest.
"The Dark Mist Forest is very dangerous at night. Nonetheless, you will have to experience it sooner or later. Since we're already here, we might as well go into the Dark Mist Forest now."
Lin Zhan was leading the pack. He had to turn his head to speak to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng was walking in the middle. This was their deliberate arrangement. Yang Fei and Yan Jinming were at the back, while Yan Jinyue and Liu Yan were flanking Wang Teng.
Wang Teng smiled bitterly in his heart. I'm being taken care of like a chick.
This was the first time he was entering the forest, and it was at night too. Lin Zhan and the other members were well-experienced, no doubt, but they didn't dare to let down their guards.
As the sun set, the light gradually disappeared. The forest turned completely dark.
"Wear your infrared night vision glasses. Everyone be careful!" Lin Zhan shouted.
Wang Teng took out a pair of black-rimmed infrared night vision glasses from his bag. This was one of the necessary items that Lin Zhan had mentioned before.
This kind of battle-style infrared goggles was light and convenient to carry around. It even had runes to enhance its functions. Its firmness, flexibility, and fitting were all perfect. It wouldn't affect one's fighting ability.
Wang Teng had Spiritual Sight, but there was no need for him to stand out. Also, Spiritual Sight consumed a lot of his spiritual power.
It was better to use these battle-style infrared glasses first. He would save his Spiritual Sight for emergency needs.
"Wait!"
Just as everyone was about to head deeper into the forest, Lin Zhan raised his hand and stopped them in a low voice.
The team members walking behind him immediately raised their vigilance. Looking at their stance, they seemed to be prepared to attack or defend at a moment's notice.
Wang Teng followed the others and squatted down. He held his battle sword tightly in his hand and scanned his surroundings.
"It's a gale wolf!"
Lin Zhan squatted below a tree and called the rest of his team members over.
After everyone gathered together, they focused on an object on the ground. It was a pile… of shit.
1
A few handsome men and pretty ladies squatted together in the middle of the night to look at a pile of shit.
This scene was so interesting.
Wang Teng wanted to complain, but when he saw Lin Zhan and the other team members' solemn expressions, he decided against it. They didn't seem to be fooling around.
"This shape, this color, and… this smell." Yan Jinming pinched his nose and nodded as he continued, "This is indeed a gale wolf."
"Wang Teng, observe and learn," Liu Yan reminded him.
1
Wang Teng nodded. He memorized the characteristics they mentioned just now in his heart.
"Everyone, be careful. These feces seem very fresh, so it must have left just a moment ago. Gale wolves move in a pack. If we meet them, it will be a little troublesome," said Lin Zhan.
The group continued walking.
As they headed deeper, they noticed more and more traces of gale wolves. Based on Lin Zhan's guess, there were at least seven to eight gale wolves hunting together in this area.
"The claws and teeth of gale wolves are good materials for forging weapons. If we meet them, let's try to take them down," Liu Yan carried her machine gun and said nonchalantly.
"Don't act rashly. We have Wang Teng in our team now. We need time to learn to work with one another." Lin Zhan was more cautious.
"Leader, what level are the gale wolves?" asked Wang Teng.
"They are at most 1-star high-level. If it is a wolf king, it might be 2-star," Lin Zhan said.
"If we really meet them, you don't have to take special care of me. I think I can handle a 1-star star beast," said Wang Teng. He didn't want to be a burden to them.
"Are you sure?" Lin Zhan was surprised.
"Wang Teng, the star beasts in the Xingwu Continent live among other star beasts from birth. They are very experienced in fights, and they are fiercer and harder to handle than the star beasts on Earth. You don't have to push yourself too hard," Liu Yan frowned and said.
"Liu Yan is right. The star beasts in the Xingwu Continent are hard to handle, especially wind element mutated star beasts like the gale wolves. They are really fast, and it's troublesome to fight with one, much less a whole pack. These animals know how to cooperate. Even we need to spend some time and effort to get rid of them," another team member, Yang Fei, chimed in.
Wang Teng gave a bitter smile. It seemed that everyone thought that he was puffing himself up at his own cost. He just nodded and replied, "Alright, I won't push myself."
The team continued moving forward while keeping aware of the traces of the gale wolves.
Suddenly, Yan Jinming slashed his blade in the air.
A three-meter-long black snake was cut in half. The two pieces dropped down from the tree.
"Are you alright?" Lin Zhan turned around and asked.
"I'm fine. It's just a poisonous snake, not a star beast," Yan Jinming said indifferently.
Lin Zhan nodded. Just as he was about to continue walking, he saw something from the corner of his eyes. His expression changed abruptly as he yelled, "6 o'clock, waist, claw attack!"
At the same time, he stomped on the ground and dodged to his right. The battleax in his hand formed a semicircle in the air as he swung it up and smashed it behind him.
Yan Jinming's expression changed slightly when he heard the warning. He quickly twisted his body.
Slash!
A green flash of light grazed his waist, almost chopping it into two.
The flash of light went past and cut through the enormous trees in front. The two large trees growing next to each other were chopped into half, and they fell to the ground with a loud collision.
Howl!
The next moment, the howls of wolves broke the tranquility of the night.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Many figures were shuttling back and forth through the bushes. The sound of their bodies rubbing against the leaves made the team members remain on full alert. Next, green lights started appearing in the forest. Seven to eight shadows dashed out in a split second and pounced on the members of the Tiger Warrior team.
"Kill them!"
The humble-looking Yang Fei roared in anger. His eyes widened, and he charged out first. The battle mace in his hand was dancing around him like a piece of stick.
Boom!
The battle mace smashed a gale wolf and sent it flying a long distance. It died instantaneously.
Yan Jinyue held a battle sword in her hand. Her speed of attacking was really fast. After blocking a wolf's claw, she thrust her green blade out, stabbing it into the eyes of the wolf.
The tip of the sword gave off a cold and sharp glint. Blood splattered everywhere. The gale wolf had died.
Yan Jinming chopped the head of the gale wolf that had sneaked an attack on him just now with a single strike. Then, he welcomed the second gale wolf without losing his composure.
Liu Yan leaped onto a huge tree. The heavy machine gun was still behind her back, and she was now holding a rune pistol in her hands.
Single shots!
A gale wolf below the tree evaded the incoming bullets at an astonishing speed. The bullets had red flames at the end, marking a path in the air. Liu Yan had to use three bullets to get rid of the gale wolf.
Then, everyone's gaze landed on Wang Teng.
Their formation was destroyed, so everyone solved their trouble at the fastest speed before turning their heads and looking for Wang Teng.
It was natural that they were more concerned about a newbie.
Only the people who had encountered the Xingwu Continent's star beasts would know how dangerous they were.
But, when everyone finally found Wang Teng, they saw him flying at a speed no slower than the gale wolf. He brushed past the gale wolf, swinging his sword at the same time and forming an icy blue light in the air. The stomach of the gale wolf was cut open easily.
Fast, accurate, ruthless!
There was no hesitation at all.
Boom!
On the other side, Lin Zhan smashed the 2-star gale wolf king into a pile of minced meat with his ax. Then, he twirled the other ax in his hand and chopped the bodies of the two 1-star gale wolves charging towards him. He also ended his battle quickly.
Then, he kept his battleaxes into the casings behind his back and walked forward without looking back at the gale wolves he killed. Instead, he looked at the gale wolf lying under Wang Teng's feet with its stomach cut open. He was slightly shocked.
In the end, he smiled and said, "It looks like we managed to get a treasure in our team!"

Chapter 116: Steps Of Gale
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Teng panted slightly as he looked at the gale wolf beside his feet.
That attack just now looked easy, but he had unleashed all his power in that burst of movement.
Fortunately, his speed wasn't slower than the gale wolf. His basic footwork was at the presence enlightenment stage, and his overall battle power was close to the peak of a one-star soldier-level martial warrior. The combination of these two allowed him to kill the gale wolf renowned for its speed.
Also, the gale wolf that Wang Teng killed hadn't reached 1-star high-level. Judging from its ability, it was only at 1-star middle-level.
In front of Lin Zhan's compliment, Wang Teng appeared indifferent. He didn't belittle himself, nor did he feel too proud.
"Not bad, Little Brother Wang. Your ability and battle skills are not weak at all." Liu Yan jumped down from the tree and patted Wang Teng's shoulder in surprise.
"It looks like we have misjudged you. As the top scholar of the martial arts exam and a martial warrior at such a young age, you are definitely not weak," Yan Jinming smiled and said.
Everyone couldn't help but remember their first time meeting a star beast. They weren't as relaxed as Wang Teng. In fact, they were a little disheveled.
They couldn't be compared to Wang Teng at all.
They thought about what Wang Teng said a few moments ago. He had told them that they didn't need to babysit him. At first, they thought he didn't want to accept their help because of his ego, but now…
They were obviously thinking too much!
Damn it, were newbies all so powerful nowadays?
"Alright, let's tidy up and leave quickly. The smell of blood will lure other star beasts over," Lin Zhan commanded.
The team members didn't refute him. They immediately took care of the corpses of the gale wolves, mainly their claws and their teeth. Then, they checked if there were any star cores.
As for the other parts of their bodies, like the skin and the meat, they were indeed worth some money, but it wasn't much. There were too many of them, which would take up too much space. No one would waste the effort to keep them.
Wang Teng followed their actions and cut off the sharp claws of the gale wolves and their teeth. At the same time, he secretly activated his spiritual power and sucked all the attribute bubbles around him.
Wind Force*1
Wind Force*1
Blank Attribute*4
Wind Force!
There were 11 points of wind Force in total!
Wang Teng was elated. He had another Force element now, and it was even the mutated wind Force.
He had personally experienced the speed of the gale wolves. They were able to travel so quickly thanks to this wind Force. Now that he had it, too, his speed would definitely increase in the future.
Looking at all the martial arts in the world, only speed could never be defeated.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh… does it sound frightening to you?
The only regret was that he had the Force but not the compatible talent. Hence, he couldn't use the Force for now.
That felt a little awkward.
Wang Teng shook his head and continued collecting the bubbles.
Earth Force*1
Fire Force*1
Fire Force*1
Blank Attribute*2
Water Force*1
Besides water Force, the other attributes were all dropped by his teammates. He collected 2 points of earth Force, 2 points of fire Force, and 3 points of water Force.
Unfortunately, there wasn't any metal Force!
It seemed like Lin Zhan had solely relied on his physical strength to kill that 2-star gale wolf king and the two 1-star gale wolves during the battle just now. He didn't employ any Force at all.
This was a powerful person!
Wang Teng shook his head. He placed the claws and teeth of the gale wolf in the interlayer of his backpack to isolate the stench of blood.
As for the star core, there was no sign of it. He wondered if other people had found any.
Very soon, he picked up the last bubble.
Steps Of Gale*1
Wang Teng was stunned.
What is this? His gaze immediately landed on the attributes panel. He scanned down and finally paused at the battle techniques row.
Steps Of Gale (foundation 1/100)
It's a battle technique!
Wang Teng was excited and surprised at the same time. He didn't expect the gale wolf to drop a battle technique.
Steps Of Gale!
Was it a form of footwork?
If it was really footwork, this would be a pleasant surprise.
He had seen the prices of footwork techniques on the internal Jixin Martial House web. They were more costly than the offensive battle techniques, and the price would increase exponentially as its class got higher.
Wang Teng wanted to buy some footwork skills. With his current wealth, if he wanted a good footwork battle technique, he would need to spend a significant portion of his cultivation fund. That meant that he wouldn't be able to buy other things.
This is good stuff!
This Steps Of Gale might not appear often, but since he had collected it, he could use his blank attributes to raise its level in the future.
Wang Teng started counting the number of blank attributes he got just now. There were 16. Including the ones he saved during his actual combat assessment, he had a total of 51 blank attributes.
At this moment, the rest of the team members had finished clearing up the scene too.
There were nine gale wolves but not a single star core. Even the gale wolf kind didn't have one.
Wang Teng was stunned. It looked like he had been extremely lucky when he managed to get a star core from the volcano salamander.
Lin Zhan gathered everyone before they continued their exploration.
The night was gloomy. In the Dark Mist Forest, the roars of beasts never went quiet.
Roar~
Howl~
Screech…
You could even hear the shrill cries of birds!
Wang Teng noticed that as time went by, a mist started to form around them gradually. The forest became even more dangerous. This was how the Dark Mist Forest got its name.
"It's getting misty. Leader?" Liu Yan frowned.
"Find a place to rest. We will call it a day," Lin Zhan stopped and said.
No one had any objections. Wang Teng was the same.
A newbie didn't have the right to express his opinion!
He was a newbie among the newbies.
The next morning, everyone woke up on a tree.
All the members had chosen a branch and rested on it. They took turns to keep watch at night to prevent star beasts from attacking them.
"You're awake. Yawn~ It's such a torture to watch all of you sleeping." Yan Jinming jumped down from the highest tree branch and yawned. His tone was quite envious.
He was the last person that kept watch at night.
"I will be the last one next time." Yang Fei smiled.
"Eat something. We will head to the Wind Valley to hunt single-horn denglong1!" Lin Zhan said.
"Single-horn denglong!"
"Leader, don't you think that it's a little too early for us to hunt a single-horn denglong?" Yan Jinming hesitated and asked.
"At first, I planned to hunt the single-horn denglong after Wang Teng had gotten used to the environment here. I thought that he would need a few days, but after seeing his performance last night, I feel that I can push my plan forward," Lin Zhan said.
"Leader, although Wang Teng's performance yesterday is not bad, that is still a 3-star star beast, and it's a gifted creature at that. It's one of the hardest 3-star star beasts to hunt. Even if we work together, we might not be able to take it out. What's more, we have Wang Teng with us. If we are not careful, we might lose our lives," Liu Yan frowned and said.
"That's right, leader. I feel that Liu Yan's words make sense. The single-horn denglong is too dangerous." Yang Fei also supported her opinion.
Yan Jinyue looked back and forth between her team members and chose to keep quiet. She decided to continue being invisible. In the team, this was always her position.
"Wang Teng, what do you think?" Lin Zhan smiled and asked him.
"I don't have any thoughts." Wang Teng was speechless. Yuan Fang didn't give his opinion either. How can I give mine?1
When he saw Lin Zhan's awkward expression, he continued, "I don't mind taking a look at the single-horn denglong you mentioned. However, since it's a 3-star star beast, I won't be of much use. I will at most provide cover for you at the side."
He knew his limitations. This was a 3-star star beast that was close to 4-stars. Even if he was a bug, he didn't have such a powerful ability. I can't do it~

Chapter 117: Heart of Martial Arts
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The vast Dark Mist Forest was divided into five huge sections by the explorers.
Starting from the outside, it was partitioned into the outer circle, middle circle, and inner circle. There were also the forbidden death zone and the forbidden mysterious zone.
The outer circle typically consisted of 1-star to 3-star star beasts.
Star beasts had a hierarchy too!
The higher-level star beasts wouldn't want to lower their status, so they rarely came to the outer circle.
The middle circle consisted of 4-star to 6-star star beasts. As for the inner circle, that was where 7-star to 9-star star beasts lived.
Similarly, the star beasts from the inner circle wouldn't run out to the middle circle.
The environment in the forbidden death zone was extraordinarily harsh and perilous. There were many lord-level frightening star beasts hidden in that area.
Lord-level star beasts were equivalent to general-stage martial warriors. They could be considered the overlords among the star beasts.
Not talking about martial warriors below the general stage, even if general-stage martial warriors entered the forbidden death zone alone, they would have a slim chance of surviving.
As for the forbidden mysterious zone, even general-stage martial warriors wouldn't be able to escape after they entered. Well, at least until today, no one had heard of a general-stage martial warrior who was able to return safely after venturing into that zone.
Wang Teng and his teammates were at the outer circle.
With the Tiger Warrior team's ability, they were considered one of the most powerful teams in the outer circle.
Normal 1-star or 2-star star beasts wouldn't pose any threat to them.
That was why they were able to kill the nine gale wolves so easily last night. After all, the difference in level was evident.
Had it been a normal martial warrior team, there was a high possibility that they might have died in that encounter.
Lin Zhan and his teammates said that they would need some time and effort to deal with the gale wolves. However, after Wang Teng saw their combat prowess yesterday, he felt like sniggering.
Pretentious~!
The group finally decided to head to Wind Valley.
The team had discovered a 3-star single-horn denglong in the Wind Valley during their previous trip to the Dark Mist Forest. However, they had used up all their resources back then and had made no adequate preparations. They weren't confident of killing it. That was why they had dragged it until now.
If it wasn't for the star beast, they would have rested for half a month before they returned to the Xingwu Continent. They rarely rushed back after only three days.
Based on Lin Zhan's introduction, the single-horn denglong was extremely intelligent. There was a high chance that it had given birth to a star bone.
If they could kill it, they would make a huge profit.
Since they had acknowledged Wang Teng's ability, they didn't have to worry about taking care of him. That meant that they could focus on dealing with the single-horn denglong.
Things might change if they dragged too long, though.
They had already lost four days. If they continued wasting any more time, the single-horn denglong might be found by other teams.
"Wang Teng, can you take care of the 1-star earth armor pig?"
Lin Zhan stopped in his tracks and pointed with his chin at a huge star beast eating in front of them. Then, he leaned casually against the trunk of a tree and took out his water bottle from his bag. He started taking sips of water without a care in the world.
The other team members stopped when they saw his actions. Some sat on the ground while others leaped up a tree. They took out their dried goods and water and started eating.
Their gazes at Wang Teng seemed as though they were waiting for a good show.
The large earth armor pig had noticed them too. It raised its head and glared at them with its big and round red eyes.
Its body was covered with thick and sturdy scales, just like an armored vehicle. It gave people an oppressive feeling.
Star beast had a common trait—they were big!
You could even say that they were gigantic!
The gale wolves they met yesterday were not small either. They were almost 1.5 meters up to their shoulders. One bite and they could snap a person into two.
But, as compared to this earth armor pig, the wolves were like nothing.
Wang Teng instantly felt speechless when he saw his teammates sitting around without any worry. He lifted his battle sword and walked forward.
Huff, puff…
The earth armor pig was panting heavily and looked extremely irritated. It stepped on the ground with its hind legs, digging up the soil with its movement. It seemed ready to attack at any moment.
At first, the earth armor pig was 200 meters away from them. As Wang Teng got nearer, the earth armor pig suddenly kicked up a cloud of dust when their distance was less than a hundred meters.
"Squeal! Squeal!"
The pig grunted as it dashed towards Wang Teng.
Wang Teng's pupils were fixed on the pig. This earth armor pig was not only huge and fierce, but it was also agile and fast. When it stepped on the ground, it gave off loud stomping sounds…
"Do you think Wang Teng can kill the earth armor pig?" Yan Jinyue asked.
"He displayed his skills yesterday night, so it shouldn't be a problem. Rather than worrying whether he could kill the earth armor pig or not, why don't we guess how long he will take to take care of this star beast? Are you interested in having a bet?" Lin Zhan smiled and asked.
"What are we betting?" Liu Yan licked her sexy red lips and asked. Her interest was piqued without a doubt.
"How about ten energy stones?" Lin Zhan suggested.
"Alright!" Liu Yan agreed right away. She thought for a moment and said, "My guess is five minutes."
"Wang Teng is very fast, but I'm not sure about his strength and guard ability. My guess is 10 minutes!" Yan Jinming said.
"In that case, I'll guess 20 minutes," Yang Fei said.
"Erm, I think, I think it will be 9 minutes." Even the little transparent lady Yan Jinyue joined the bet excitedly.
"I guess within one minute," Lin Zhan said with a smile.
"Seriously? Leader, even if you have high hopes for him, one minute is a little exaggerated." Yan Jinming was shocked.
"Hehe, let's wait and see. All of you will be giving me your energy stones later." Lin Zhan smiled slyly.
Fortunately, Wang Teng didn't know what his unscrupulous teammates were doing. If he knew, he might vomit blood in anger.
At this moment, he had already started fighting with the earth armor pig.
Boom!
The earth armor pig charged over at high speed and wanted to smash into Wang Teng. The frightening impact formed a powerful shockwave and surged towards Wang Teng's body with a loud crash.
Wang Teng executed his footwork and evaded the attacks like an agile monkey. At the same time, he aimed his battle sword at the earth armor pig's neck and slashed it down.
In the 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers,' it was mentioned that whether you were fighting with a mutated beast or a star beast, you needed to find and target their weakness. Usually, the weaknesses of star beasts were the abdomen, the eyes, and the neck.
While dodging, Wang Teng swung his battle sword at the animal's neck when he went past it.
The earth armor pig's body was huge, so it couldn't turn quickly. It wasn't able to prevent the sword from hitting its body.
However, the result wasn't satisfying.
Clang!
Wang Teng heard the sound, and his expression changed slightly. He looked at the spot he chopped just now. There was only a white line.
The scales of the earth armor pig covered its entire body. It was exceptionally tough, making it very hard to break this layer of defense.
Since Wang Teng had failed his attack, it gave the earth armor pig time to react. It swung its head and charged at Wang Teng with its two thick and dagger-like tusks.
If the tusks struck him, they would definitely pierce his body.
Wang Teng raised the shield in his left hand to block the attack. He used the force of the backlash to move away from the star beast and then made use of his speed to circle it. He then started searching for the earth armor pig's weakness.
After the earth armor pig got played by Wang Teng, it got more and more irritated. It kept panting and growled in a hoarse voice.
Actually, the attacks of an earth armor pig were very simple. Its only distinguishing trait was its defensive ability.
If the other star beasts weren't able to break their defense, the earth armor pig was invincible.
However, Wang Teng was able to suppress the earth armor pig with his speed. The earth armor pig went right and left, but it couldn't hurt Wang Teng.
After some time, Wang Teng finally found its weakness.
Heart of Martial Arts!
This was the legendary—Thousand years of pain!

Howl…
The long sword shot out and pierced the butt!

Chapter 118: Single-horn Denglong!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The heart of martial arts, even a god wouldn't be able to handle it, much less an earth armor pig.
When the long sword stabbed into its body, Force gushed out and directly froze its internal organs. The pig was killed in a single move!
Lin Zhan looked at the time and burst out laughing. "Less than a minute. Come, take out your energy stones!"
Yang Fei and Yan Jinming's expressions turned strange. They sighed secretly and accepted their defeat. While shaking their heads, they took out ten energy stones and gave them to Lin Zhan.
Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue clicked their tongues unhappily. They were beaten by Wang Teng's shamelessness.
How was he able to use this move? Where did his dignity go?
"This move might be a little shameless, but it's actually the most effective and energy saving." Lin Zhan smiled and stretched his hand out. "Give me the energy stones."
"Leader, you're jackals of the same lair!" The two ladies rolled their eyes. They took out their energy stones helplessly and gave them to him.
What a huge loss!
Wang Teng walked over and saw this scene. He was speechless. "Here I am fighting with my life, but all of you are just using me as your gambling material!"
"Cough, cough, the forest is so boring. This is to liven up the mood," Lin Zhan replied shamelessly.
"Wang Teng, why didn't you use Force to attack just now? Why did you use that move?" Yan Jinyue couldn't help but ask.
Most importantly, she wanted to listen to Wang Teng's thoughts. How sadistic was he to be able to think of that move?
"Save when you can. I'm just a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. I have a limited amount of Force. If I can finish this battle using the simplest method, why should I waste my Force?" Wang Teng replied matter-of-factly.
"Look, Wang Teng understands it more than you. How can you call yourself seniors?" said Lin Zhan.
"There are many ways to save Force. He doesn't have to use this method." Liu Yan was unwilling to accept defeat.
"I feel that this method is excellent, and I find it easy to execute. I can try it again in the future. I've decided to call this move the Heart of Martial Arts—Thousand Years of Pain!" Wang Teng shamelessly used the name of a legendary move of a certain manga in his past life.
"Go away. Don't use this method in front of us. It hurts our eyes." The two ladies, Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue, immediately got annoyed.
The three men laughed uncontrollably. This Wang Teng was a weirdo!
He even gave his move a name after using it. Was he afraid that other people wouldn't know about his move if the name wasn't loud enough?
"Alright, take the tusks and scales of the earth armor pig, and we will leave," Lin Zhan said.
Yang Fei immediately walked over to take care of the earth armor pig's corpse. Wang Teng aided him at the side. The pig's scales were extremely tough and strong. If you wanted to skin it without proficient skills, it would be challenging.
When Yang Fei was taking off the scales, Lin Zhan and the others kept watch of their surroundings.
Yang Fei's actions were skilled. Very soon, he took off the armor of the earth armor pig and put it in his bag. His backpack immediately became full. He didn't take the whole scale armor of the earth armor pig, though. If he did, he wouldn't be able to stuff it in his bag.
"Huh?" Yang Fei suddenly made a sound. He had an elated expression as he said, "I think there's a star core!"
He used his knife to cut the abdomen of the earth armor pig. Then, he took out a yellowish-brown uneven round object.
"Hahaha, leader, come and take a look. There's a star core!" Yang Fei laughed loudly.
Lin Zhan and the other team members were shocked when they heard this. They immediately gathered around.
"F*k, Wang Teng, I have nothing to say about your luck!" Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Teng was stunned too. He had only killed three star beasts, and two of them gifted him with star cores. Was he really the son of Lady Luck?
He felt a little proud of himself.
"Keep it. Don't reveal your wealth," Lin Zhan reminded him. Then, he said, "See if there's a star bone."
Yang Fei threw the star core to Wang Teng and shook his head. "Nope. I've already inspected it."
The star core and star bone were both hidden in the star beast's body. They were like light lamps at night. You would be able to detect them immediately once you used your Force to scan the insides.
This was how they searched for star bones and star cores yesterday night with the corpses of the gale wolves.
Unfortunately, the gale wolves didn't have any star cores, much less star bones.
When humans killed more and more star beasts, they started to gain more experience.
Normally, only star beasts with star cores would have star bones. If the beast didn't have a star core, it shouldn't be able to give birth to a star bone.
That was why Lin Zhan asked Yang Fei if there was a star bone.
Wang Teng kept the star core. The gains by the team would be sold after they returned to Earth. The money would be split according to a certain percentage. That was how all teams worked.
Of course, the main things that Wang Teng received after killing the star beast were attribute bubbles.
Earth Force*4
Blank Attribute*6
The gains were not bad.
The team continued their journey to Wind Valley.
Around noon, Wang Teng and his teammates arrived outside a valley.
This valley was shaped like a gourd. The mouth of the gourd was the only entrance, as its sides were lined by unscalable cliffs.
A burst of strong wind gushed out of the valley. It sounded like the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves.
Lin Zhan stood outside the entrance and observed for some time. His expression changed slightly, "Someone has been here."
"Indeed, traces of people can be seen." Yan Jinming squatted down to take a look. He said with a worried expression, "Did we waste our trip?"
"Are we still going in?" Liu Yan asked.
"If the other party is inside and we meet them coincidentally, we might need to engage in a fierce fight. I wonder how strong they are?" Yang Fei said.
"Since we are here, we have to take a look. When has the Tiger Warrior team been scared of anyone?" Lin Zhan scoffed with a cold expression.
"Wang Teng, be careful!" He reminded Wang Teng before stepping into the valley first.
Wang Teng and the other teammates followed closely behind him.
The paths in the valley were difficult to walk. The biting cold wind blew hard against them, making it even more challenging to balance their bodies. Their faces hurt from the piercing cold.
Fortunately, they were all martial warriors, so they could barely handle it.
They walked cautiously for some distance, but they didn't see any humans.
"Could they have left already?" Yan Jinming frowned and asked.
"Let's go further. Be prepared to fight anytime. Last time, we saw the single-horn denglong not far ahead. I wonder if it's still there?" Lin Zhan replied.
The team members held their weapons in one hand and the shield in the other. They remained vigilant of their surroundings.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a white figure stooped down from the cliff at the side. Its speed was astonishing. The air around it was torn apart, letting out a shrill and sharp screech.
"Be careful!"
Lin Zhan shouted.
Liu Yan's expression changed. She felt that the white figure was targeting her. However, Liu Yan was caught off guard, so she wasn't able to react in time.
Wang Teng was standing beside her. His expression abruptly changed, and he pushed her away. At the same time, he swung his battle sword out.
Boom!
A huge force crashed onto him. The green-colored Force collided with him and knocked him off his feet. Wang Teng didn't have time to think. The Force in his body exploded as he neutralized the powerful and violent force of impact.
The wind energy formed by the green Force shot out in all directions like sharp blades. Wang Teng was right in the center. He felt as if there were hundreds of wind daggers slashing his body.
The plants around him were reduced to shreds. The wood splinters floated and danced in the air.
Bang!
Under the bombardment of the enormous force, Wang Teng was slammed heavily into the stone wall. His chest felt stuffy.
If he hadn't defended himself in time just now using his Force or if he hadn't worn this battle uniform, he might have been seriously injured.

Chapter 119: Explosion!
"Evil beast!"
Lin Zhan and the other team members instantly released their Force. Then, they simultaneously attacked the white figure.
However, the white shadow's speed was astonishing. It ran across the cliff as if it were on flat ground. Finally, it stopped on a huge rock high on the cliff and revealed its identity.
"Single-horn denglong!" said Lin Zhan through gritted teeth.
"Are you alright?" Liu Yan came beside Wang Teng and asked in concern.
"I'm fine." Wang Teng shook his head. He stood up and looked at the snow-white star beast standing tall on the rock high up on the cliff.
"Thank you for helping me just now," said Liu Yan.
"This is not the time for this. Is that the single-horn denglong you were talking about?" Wang Teng asked with a strange expression.
The white star beast on the rock looked a little like a huge-sized… rabbit.
It was furry with long ears. Its eyes were red, and its body was white. Only the tip of its ears was black.
That was right, it looked like a giant rabbit!
However, there was a horn on its head, and its claws were sharp like knives. When it opened its mouth, you could see the row of razor-sharp teeth.
It looked… Its teeth looked healthy and strong.
"Yes, that's the single-horn denglong. I didn't expect the beast to sneak an attack on us." Liu Yan's expression was a little ugly.
"It's injured. Look at the left side of its back. There seem to be traces of blood," Yan Jinyue said.
Everyone followed her finger and looked in the direction she was pointing. Indeed, they saw a trace of red spreading out from the single-horn denglong's back. It was hard to notice it from the front.
"It might have been left by the first batch of people. It's malicious and cruel even when it's hurt. Let's take this opportunity to kill it and wrap up things," Lin Zhan said viciously.
The moment he finished speaking, he stamped on the ground, and his body shot out like a bullet. He climbed up the cliff and slashed out gold-colored Force out of his huge axes.
Roar!
The single-horn denglong roared at Lin Zhan. It sent out a big and powerful gale from its mouth.
The gold glow on the axes split the strong gale apart, forming a long and narrow crack in the middle. Lin Zhan appeared in front of the single-horn denglong in the blink of an eye.
He swept his battle axes horizontally in front of him.
Swoosh!
The single-horn denglong's figure disappeared from the rock. Only its lingering shadow was chopped into half by Lin Zhan's axes. Moments later, the lingering shadow also dissipated.
The next second, the body of the single-horn denglong appeared beside Lin Zhan. A whirlwind formed on its sharp claw as it attacked Lin Zhan.
Bang, bang, bang!
A few gunshots also joined the battle.
Below, Liu Yan carried her heavy machine gun and fired continuously while aiming at the single-horn denglong.
The alloy bullet dragged a fiery red flame along with it as it shot towards the single-horn denglong, aiming for its vital point.
The single-horn denglong had no choice but to dodge. Lin Zhan took the chance to pursue and keep the pressure on.
The two gigantic battle axes danced around in his hands. The gold glow pierced through the air and engulfed the single-horn denglong.
At that moment, Yang Fei and the other team members arrived.
Yan Jinming, Yan Jinyue, and Yang Fei executed their respective Force battle techniques and blocked the single-horn denglong's path of retreat. There was nowhere it could hide.
Boom!
The single-horn denglong was forced to take on Lin Zhan's gold ax glow. The sharp claws slammed into the axes along with the whirlwind on them. The collision resulted in a frightening explosion.
Lin Zhan couldn't control himself and took many steps back. The single-horn denglong saw an opportunity and wanted to escape the encirclement.
On the other side, Wang Teng stood at the high ground and took out the heavy bow from his weapon carrier casket. He nocked a rune arrow on the bow.
At this moment, Wang Teng could only turn from a warrior into a marksman hiding in the wild. He took cover behind the bushes and started shooting arrows at his target.
This was commonly known as… the bitch in the bushes.
The Force in Wang Teng's body erupted as he stretched the bow to its maximum.
He let loose an arrow!
Slash!
The arrow cut through the air. The ice Force at the tip formed an ice-blue shadow of the arrow as it charged towards the single-horn denglong.
Boom!
The single-horn denglong let out a loud roar. It turned its body forcefully and actually managed to evade this arrow.
However, Yan Jinming and the other two people's attacks had arrived.
Three attacks landed on the single-horn denglong's back at the same time.
The single-horn denglong roared in grief and pain. The sword and blade pierced through the wound that was already present on its body. They tore its back, and fresh blood spurted everywhere.
Bang, bang, bang…
Gunshots were heard once again. The bullets penetrated the single-horn denglong's body one by one, causing it to look up at the sky and roar. It suddenly went crazy.
It opened its huge mouth, and green lights started gathering around it from the sky and the earth. The green rays quickly congregated into a ball.
The ball of green light was expanding continuously.
"Hurry up and stop it!" Lin Zhan's expression changed as he dashed towards the single-horn denglong.
The other team members' expressions were solemn too. They executed Force battle techniques to their fullest potential.
Fire Force, water Force, earth Force, these three colors of light covered half the sky.
The rays of swords poured down like the rain. The glints of sharp blades flew everywhere. It looked like they could slash a mountain if it stood in their way.
Boom, boom, boom!
The single-horn denglong didn't dodge, allowing the attacks to land on its body. The green ball of light in its mouth grew bigger and stronger. The pressure was terrifying.
Bang, bang, bang…
The heavy machine gun in Liu Yan's hand kept vibrating. Alloy bullets shot out as though they were free.
"This beast wants to perish together with us!" Lin Zhan shouted, "Move! Let me handle it!"
He held the huge axes in his hand and swung them out powerfully. An enormous gold ax shadow flew down from the sky.
Metal Force battle technique—Heavy Mountain!
Boom!
The gold ax shadow in the air seemed to have turned into a tall and lofty mountain. It bore down from the sky.
The single-horn denglong finally stopped building its green ball of light. The viciousness and determination in its pair of red eyes seemed similar to the emotions of a human. It spurted the ball of green light out.
"Move!"
Lin Zhan's expression warped. He started flying back at high speed without any hesitation. At the same time, he shouted at his team members.
The other team members felt a powerful sense of danger and death. They raised their speed to the fastest, wishing they had an extra pair of legs.
Run!
Wang Teng and Liu Yan were further away. The moment they noticed something wrong, they fled and found a place to hide.
Boom!
The green ball of light exploded without any warning, kicking off a violent tornado at the center. It started sweeping everything away. Soil flew in the air and covered the entire sky. The protruding rocks and the vines and plants on the ground were all reduced to pieces by the overwhelming force.
Blades of wind mingled in the tornado as it engulfed the entire area they were in. The wind blades attacked anything in its path. It struck against the cliff and left lines and lines of deep cuts.
Lin Zhan and some of the team members couldn't evade in time. They were all thrown off their feet by the tornado.
The shockwave caused by the explosion swept the surroundings. The residual impact took a long time to subside.
The dust in the air gradually landed on the ground. The valley resumed its silence.
"Leader!"
"Yan Jinming!"
"Little Yue!"
"Yang Fei!"
Liu Yan and Wang Teng were a distance away, so they didn't get hurt. After coming out from their hiding spots, they immediately started looking for their teammates.
Liu Yan's face was pale, and there was fear in her expression.
She had been working with her teammates for many years. Although they weren't blood-related, they were like her family. If anything happened to them, she couldn't imagine what she would do.
"Cough, cough!"
Suddenly, they heard someone coughing not far away.
"It's our leader!" Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise. She ran over hurriedly.
Lin Zhan climbed out from below a pile of rocks. He wiped the trace of blood off the corner of his lips and cursed, "Damn it, this beast is really ruthless. It actually wanted to perish together."
"Leader, are you alright?" Liu Yan and Wang Teng hurriedly held him up.
"I'm fine. I'm just a little hurt." Lin Zhan waved his hand nonchalantly."How are the others?"
"We haven't found them," said Liu Yan.
"Then, hurry up and look for them…"
"We're here!" At this moment, Yan Jinming's voice came out from below another pile of rocks.
"How are you?" Wang Teng asked.
"Alright. I'm not dying anytime soon."

Chapter 120: Do You Want To Experience My Hammer Fist Of Love?
"F*k, I almost died!"
Yan Jinming and the other team members cursed furiously. They weren't in a good mood.
"I didn't expect the single-horn denglong to fight back in the face of death and attempt to drag us down to hell with it. We almost fell into its trap," Yang Fei said with a bitter smile.
"When we meet another 3-star or above star beast, we need to be more careful. A star beast at this level has its own intellect. Yet, they still maintain their brutish nature, so they are unruly and ruthless. We can't predict their actions using logic," Lin Zhan said.
"Sigh, this is the first time we met such a vicious fellow after so many years of forming the team," Liu Yan commented.
"Little Yue, are you alright?" Yan Jinming held onto his younger sister in concern.
The few of them had received the brunt of the explosion. Their organs were heavily impacted by the force and were injured. As a lady, Yan Jinyue's defensive ability was weaker, so her injury was more severe than the men.
Her face was pale, and blood was seeping out of the corners of her lips. She seemed listless. Her body was about to collapse at any moment.
"Give her the medicine quickly," Liu Yan said in a hurry.
Yan Jinming regained his composure and took out the healing medication from his backpack. He let Yan Jinyue swallow it.
"Execute your Force to hasten the absorption of the medicine."
Yan Jinyue was already weak. She followed her brother's instructions and sat down cross-legged on the ground. She started absorbing the medicine to heal her injuries.
Yang Fei and Lin Zhan also took out their medicine and swallowed them. Their injuries weren't as serious as Yan Jinyue's, but it still hurt. Their combat prowess had taken a hit.
"Is that single-horn denglong dead?" Wang Teng asked.
"The degree of the explosion is huge and it was at the center of the explosion. It must be dead," Lin Zhan smiled and replied.
Wang Teng nodded. He scanned his surroundings. There were many attribute bubbles dropped around him.
He picked them up.
Metal Force*15
Fire Force*13
Earth Force*9
Water Force*8
Wind Force*25
Blank Attribute*33
A huge gain!
Not to mention the other attributes, he had gained a high number of fire, water, and earth Force attributes. It was enough to raise his ability by another level.
And the bonus of 25 wind Force!
As well as the metal Force that appeared for the first time. There were as many as 15 points.
Wang Teng received another Force element!
This time, there were many blank attributes too. He got 33 points of blank attributes, bringing his total to 90.
Wang Teng was secretly elated. He continued sucking over the other attribute bubbles from afar and collecting them.
Intermediate Stage Wind Talent*1
Wang Teng was stunned.
An intermediate stage wind talent! Ecstasy surged up his heart.
As expected of a 3-star star beast with a high intellect.
Even the talent it dropped was at the intermediate stage.
Mind you, all the talents he had for his earth element, fire element, and ice element were only at the beginner stage.
It was obvious that intermediate stage talents were more powerful than beginner stage talents.
Now, he would be able to make use of his wind Force. He could also unleash the full potential of his Steps of Gale and not just shelve it in his attribute row and let it rot there.
The gains of killing a 3-star star beast were so huge!
It was worth it!
In comparison, the minor injuries were nothing.
Very soon, Lin Zhan and the other teammates digested their healing medication and regained some of their health. Lin Zhan stood up and said, "Let's go over and take a look at the single-horn denglong. We've wasted some time. We should clean up the scene and leave. The explosion just now will definitely attract the attention of the other star beasts in this region. It might even lure other martial warriors. We need to act quickly."
"That's right. Quickly take a look at the star beast. We spent so much effort trying to kill it. If there aren't any gains, it will be a huge loss for us," Yang Fei said.
They started searching their surroundings. They didn't know where the body of the single-horn denglong was sent flying after the explosion.
Yan Jinyue was still undergoing the healing process, and Liu Yan took care of her at the side. The young men searched for the body.
Wang Teng remembered the location of the talent attribute bubble and walked over to the spot. When he dug up the soil, his expression changed. He shouted at Lin Zhan and his other teammates, "It's here!"
"Oh, you found it!"
The others rushed over immediately.
"I can't feel its aura. It's probably dead."
"Old Yang, this is your show. Open the body and see if there's a star bone," Lin Zhan said with an intense gaze.
"No problem. Leave it to me."
Yang Fei sniggered and bent down. He pushed away the rocks at the side and pulled the single-horn denglong out of the debris. Then, he took out a dagger and started dealing with the corpse.
The single-horn denglong was dead. Its body was riddled with wounds, and it had lost a lot of blood.
"Brother Yang is like the butcher of the team," Wang Teng smiled and teased him.
"Hahaha, well, he indeed has the talent. He's suitable for this job." Lin Zhan laughed.
Yang Fei smiled. He seemed pretty proud.
A few moments later, he cut off the horn and claws of the single-horn denglong. Then, he skinned the entire corpse.
"What a pity. This skin is heavily damaged, so the price will be heavily discounted," Yang Fei said with regret.
"As compared to the star bone, this is just a small change. Stop wasting time. Look for the star bone first," Lin Zhan urged him.
Yang Fei nodded. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the single-horn denglong's corpse. He felt the corpse for a few seconds before beaming a happy smile. "There's a star core!"
While speaking, he had already stabbed the dagger into the single-horn denglong's body. He lifted his dagger, and a green round ball rolled out. This was the wind element star core of the single-horn denglong.
The price of a 3-star star beast star core was much higher than a 1-star star core. Even more, this was a wind element star core.
Lin Zhan and the other team members were elated. Even without the star bone, this star core was enough to earn them a considerable amount of money.
But…
The next instant, Yang Fei shouted in surprise, "Star bone! There's really a star bone! Hahaha, leader, we're going to be rich!"
"Great! Quick, dig it out!" Lin Zhan gave a bright smile as he opened his eyes wide.
Yan Jinming and even Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue, who were a distance away, were ecstatic when they heard this piece of news.
A star bone!
They had guessed that there might be a star bone in this star beast, but the probability of finding it was really low. All they had was an ounce of hope.
However, there was really a star bone. They would definitely put this up for auction. It would fetch an amazing price.
On the other hand, Wang Teng was relatively calm. After all, he had a star bone already, and it belonged to him only. When he saw his teammates' exhilarated expressions, he couldn't help but ask them, "Leader, you are a 3-star elite martial warrior team. This is just a star bone. Do you have to be so excited?"
"It's just a…"
Everyone turned around and glared at Wang Teng with hidden bitterness.
"You brat, that's easy for you to say. This is the first star bone we have found after so many years, but you seem to be looking down on it.
"Don't you know the price of a star bone?"
"I do. I performed quite well during the martial arts exam, so the leader of the Ministry of Education of Donghai gave me one as my reward. I heard that it's very precious, that's all. Your reactions are too exaggerated," Wang Teng said calmly as he continued his acting.
The other people were speechless.
"F*k!"
Comparisons are odious!
Look at him. He doesn't need to risk his life to hunt and kill star beasts. He was able to get a star bone as his reward.
Look at us. Sigh, forget it… There's nothing worth comparing.
The other team members felt depressed. The gloomy aura hung over them as they turned their backs to Wang Teng and decided to ignore him in unplanned unison.
Wang Teng: …
What did I do wrong?
Suddenly, Yang Fei exclaimed happily, "I found it. It's the leg bone."
He moved the dagger in his hand and slit the flesh of the beast. He then extracted a bone from the corpse of the single-horn denglong.
This piece of bone was white all over except for the center. There was a green-color crystal clear section in the bone.
There were thin lines on the green-color section of the bone. It looked mysterious and profound.
It felt cool and icy to the touch.
"Quick, let me touch it. Oh my god, I have been a martial warrior for so long and have only seen it once from afar. I have never touched a star bone before." Lin Zhan snatched the thigh bone from Yang Fei's hand. He caressed the green-color section of the bone gently with an enchanted expression. He really looked like…
Imagine a fierce-looking young man rubbing a white piece of bone as if he was caressing the leg of a beautiful lady.
Think of that scene!
Tsk, it was quite frightening!
Yang Fei and Yan Jinming wanted to touch the bone too, but when they saw their leader's expression, they suddenly shuddered and regained their senses.
"Cough, leader, you're salivating," Wang Teng couldn't help but remind him kindly.
"What?"
Lin Zhan was given a fright. He instinctively raised his hand to wipe the corners of his lips. Then, he regained his composure and his eyebrows started twitching.
He glanced at Wang Teng ominously from the corners of his eyes.
"You little brat, you're getting really bold. Do you want to experience the hammer fist of my love?"
"Hahaha, leader, you looked outstanding today. Your face is pinkish, so you must be extremely lucky and supremely fortunate… Erm, that sounded a little weird. Anyway, leader, you are really lucky today. No wonder the star bone appeared. It must be because the main protagonist's script you have has started to take effect…" Wang Teng laughed awkwardly and immediately released his ultimate move—sucking up.
As for what the hammer fist of love was, he would leave that to the rest of his teammates. He didn't need this disgusting thing.
Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue had just returned after treating their wounds. Yan Jinming, Yang Fei, and the two ladies were shocked when they heard this.
They had never seen such a shameless person before!
How interesting!
"Hmph." Lin Zhan gave a forced smile. Then, he turned serious and said, "Since we have taken care of everything, let's leave. We will return to the martial arts academy…"
Before the team members could feel happy at the mention of returning to the martial arts academy, they heard him saying, "Oh, right. Old Yang, take a look at the other leg and see if there's another star bone."
Everyone: …
Why didn't they see their leader's money-grubbing side in the past?
Even though they complained in their hearts, Yang Fei still executed his leader's order. He slit open the other leg of the single-horn denglong and took a look.
Nothing!
It was normal that there was nothing. You must be dreaming to think that there would be two star bones in a single star beast.
Finally, they could retreat in peace.
They didn't waste any more time and walked out of the valley.
"Leader, how much can you sell this star bone for?" Wang Teng asked curiously along the way.
"Most probably… seven to eight hundred million." Lin Zhan wasn't certain either. "I saw an auction of a star bone in the past. The buyer bought a 3-star star bone for this price. This star bone should be around the same. What's more, it's a wind element star bone. It is more precious and rarer than a normal element star bone."
"It's so expensive!" Wang Teng was really shocked this time.
The star bone Director He gave him came from a 1-star star beast. If a 3-star star bone cost seven to eight hundred million, that 1-star star bone should cost around one hundred million, right?
From the looks of it, Director He spent more than he expected!
"Seven to eight hundred million is the minimum price. It depends on the buyer. If we meet someone that really wants this piece of star bone, he might buy it for a few billion without batting his eyelids," Lin Zhan smiled and continued.
He seemed to be in a good mood. It was understandable. How could a person not be happy when he had a few billion in his pocket?

Chapter 121: Power Of the Shooting Star Spiral
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the entrance of the valley.
Screech!
The moment Lin Zhan and his team came out, the screech of a bird was heard abruptly from the sky.
A huge shadow enveloped them.
Everyone's expression changed. They quickly raised their heads.
A giant bird was circling the air over their heads. When it flapped its wings, gales were formed. The trees around them swayed right and left from the force.
"You're really bold. How dare you snatch something I laid my eyes on."
A young man's voice came from the back of the bird. He was speaking in the common language of the Xingwu Continent.
Only his voice was heard, though. They couldn't see the person.
In an instant, the expressions of the members of the Tiger Warrior team turned ugly.
Earlier, Lin Zhan's mood was at a high, and he had been smiling like a blooming flower. However, now, he was tensed up and looked at the bird above him in frustration.
Do you have to be so irritating? Why did you appear now? Why did you come when we finished killing the beast?
Are you playing with me!
Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat too.
This was most likely the person who had injured the single-horn denglong. They thought he had left, but unluckily, they met him right in the face when they came out of the valley.
The Tiger Warrior team had just gone through a rough battle. Even Lin Zhan was hurt. They were only left with half of their combat ability.
It would be a little tough to win against this person, who was able to hurt the single-horn denglong alone.
Based on his accent, the other party might be a local from the Xingwu Continent.
Wang Teng knew from the small booklet of common knowledge that the Xingwu Continent and Earth might appear to be at peace on the surface, but in many areas, the competition between these two worlds was huge.
Especially in the other party's territory, Earth humans were outsiders.
The resources the Xingwu Continent provided to martial warriors were already limited. When more people from Earth came, things became even tenser.
If they didn't fight, the resources would all be snatched by the other party!
This was the situation now. Once the two parties from different worlds met, there was no room for discussions.
Only one word—fight!
The resources would go to the winner!
Lin Zhan exchanged glances with his team members. They understood each other's intentions and decided to fight with the young man.
As expected, Lin Zhan mocked, "You are too domineering. This single-horn denglong wasn't killed by you. Why can't other people kill it?"
"Hmph, since I laid my eyes on it, it's mine. Who are you?" The young man on the bird replied arrogantly.
"Stop bullshitting. If you want it, come down and take it." Lin Zhan scoffed.
"Impudent!
"Little Black, kill them!" The young man on the bird ordered in a cold voice.
Screech!
The bird gave a shrill screech. It glared at the people on the ground with its sharp eyes. Then, it closed its wings and flapped them forcefully.
Breathe—
Gales were formed. Wind blades intertwined with each other as they swept towards the people on the ground.
"F*k, another wind element star beast."
Lin Zhan cursed. He hurriedly raised his shield to block the attack.
The other people followed. They retreated and blocked their bodies with their shields.
Clang, clang, clang…
The wind blades knocked on the shields and gave off the sound of metals clashing into one another.
"Liu Yan, shoot him down."
"Yang Fei, Yan Jinming, cover up Liu Yan."
"Wang Teng, you know how to shoot, right? Hurry, shoot the damn out of him."
Lin Zhan hurled commands at his teammates.
Yang Fei and Yan Jinming immediately moved to Liu Yan's side. They raised their shield and covered her up.
Liu Yan placed her shield behind her back and took down her heavy machine gun. She fired into the air through the gap of the two shields.
Bang, bang, bang…
A huge number of alloy bullets engulfed the bird in the sky like a bullet rain.
"Rise!" The figure gave another order.
The bird flapped its wings, forming a strong wind. It rose straight up into the air and instantly flew more than ten meters higher.
"Leader, he's too far away!" Liu Yan said with an ugly expression.
On the other side, Wang Teng took out his heavy bow and jumped onto a tree. He notched an arrow on the bow and used all the strength he had. Ice Force congregated at the tip as he released the arrow.
Unfortunately, he didn't manage to score a hit.
"Damn it. That brat calculated the distance and knew that we couldn't reach him. That's why he's so fearless," Lin Zhan gritted his teeth and said.
"Hahaha, if you are sensible, pass me the item. Otherwise, today will be the day of your death." Arrogant peals of laughter echoed from the sky.
Then, they were inundated by wind blades.
"Are you planning to defeat us with these wind blades?"
"Brat, come down and fight with us one on one if you dare. Why are you hiding on top? Don't you know that you look like a coward?" Lin Zhan shouted back, refusing to admit defeat.
"You're looking for death."
The young man on the bird was obviously infuriated by Lin Zhan's words. He took out a cannon and aimed it at the people below.
"Have a taste of my cannon!"
Boom!
A massive explosion sounded. Roaring flames spurted out of the mouth of the cannon, bringing with it a frightening force as the cannonball shot towards Wang Teng and his teammates.
"What the f*k, that's the Fire God Cannon!"
"Dodge quickly!"
Lin Zhan's face turned green. He increased his speed explosively and ran away.
The other people's expressions changed too. There seemed to be wheels on their legs as they dashed away. It was as though they had seen some terrifying monster.
Wang Teng was cursing in his heart.
This bastard was really vicious. He even used a heavy weapon like the fire cannon.
He had heard of the Fire God Cannon before. This thing was expensive to make, and its power was frightening. Ordinary people couldn't afford to use it.
The person in the air actually brought one along with him. This was out of everyone's expectation.
It was too late to say anything now. They needed to escape.
Boom!
The Force cannonball congregated by the Fire God Cannon smashed into the ground. Flames gushed into the air, and visible impact waves swept through the forest, bringing everything along with it.
Lin Zhan, Wang Teng, and the other team members weren't able to run far at all.
The powerful blast moved as fast as lightning. It threw them into the air.
Wang Teng could hardly look after himself. At this moment, he didn't have the time to care about other people.
"Earth Element Shield!"
He quickly blocked his front. At the same time, Force exploded out of his body and congregated into a yellowish-brown shield.
At this life or death moment, his heartbeat increased and his mind was all tensed up. His spiritual power moved automatically and merged into his Earth Element Shield.
In that instant, the world suddenly became silent.
He had lost his hearing temporarily because of the enormous explosion!
His battle shield shattered into pieces.
The Earth Element Shield persevered for three breaths before it crumbled gradually. It shattered.
Hot waves gushed towards him. The impact waves landed on Wang Teng's body, and he felt a collision on his head. His vision turned black. In an instant, he couldn't see anything.
A long time seemed to have passed. Yet, it felt like an instant too.
Wang Teng shook his head and crawled up from the ground. At the start, his mind was still in a daze. He didn't know what had happened.
But, the next second, his pupils constricted. He had regained his memory.
"I'm still alive!"
He rejoiced for surviving the disaster.
Then, he hurriedly jumped up. However, the action made him gasp in pain. His entire body was aching.
This is so painful.
Damn it, I wonder how my other teammates are?
Wang Teng raised his eyes and looked around him. The ground was all burned black, and there was a deep hole in the middle. The trees around it had collapsed. Flames were raging on the branches of the trees.
"Huh? There's still someone alive!"
The bird flew down slowly.
A young man stood on the back of the bird and looked down on Wang Teng.
The attire he was wearing was the style of the Xingwu Continent.
The two worlds had interacted for 30 years, but they still maintained their unique culture and customs.
For instance, people on Earth would not especially wear the clothes of the Xingwu Continent. Similarly, the people on the Xingwu Continent would not wear clothes from Earth either.
He gave a look of contempt and said calmly, "You're a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. It looks like you're really lucky and managed to keep your life. Your teammates' abilities didn't seem bad. However, they're probably dead now.
"Tell me, what did you get from the single-horn denglong? Who has that thing? If you tell me, maybe I can consider sparing your life."
"You killed them?"
Wang Teng remained expressionless, but there was a cold glare in his eyes. Although he had known Lin Zhan and the other team members for a short period only, they had taken great care of him.
He had to repay them!
Also, this person almost killed him!
Anyone that wanted to kill him must die!
"Why? Do you want to take revenge for them?" The young man scoffed. He didn't hide his disdain.
"I don't mind telling you that I'm a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. If you reply to me honestly, you can live. If not, I will let you die a terrible death…"
"Uncle, may I know how old you are?" Wang Teng interrupted him.
…The young man was stunned by this strange question.
Also…
Uncle!
Who are you calling uncle?
The young man's veins popped out of his head. He asked with a furious expression, "What do you mean?"
"Oh, nothing. I heard that old people are normally naggy. I want to see if you're an old uncle under that young man's face," Wang Teng said.
"Old, old man?!
"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!"
The young man's expression turned cold. He held his hand into a claw and exuded Force on his hand. He then viciously attacked Wang Teng's neck.
Wang Teng looked at him as he flew down. His face was calm.
70 meters!
60 meters!
50 meters…
At that moment, Wang Teng moved his thoughts. The remaining small amount of spiritual power gushed out of his mind.
Flying dagger!
A cold glint flew out of his battle uniform. It turned into a flash of lightning and shot towards the young man.
"Spiritual power!"
The young man's expression changed tremendously.
The cold glint's speed was so fast that he couldn't capture it with his eyes. It seemed to be shuttling between spaces. In a blink of an eye, it appeared in front of him.
It was too late to dodge.
The young man made a hasty decision and changed the direction of his hand. The Force in his body surged out as he clawed towards the cold glint.
"Disperse!"
Wang Teng lifted the edge of his lips as he said this single word.
The cold glint exploded below the man's claw. It turned into six cold rays and attacked the young man from all directions.
Wang Teng remembered the Shooting Star Spiral's theory, so when he attacked the first time, he used the six flying daggers together as one. Now, he split them up to catch his opponent off his guard!
"No!"
Fear finally appeared on the young man's face. His pupils constricted into a needle, the six rays of cold lights reflecting in them. He yelled in despair.
Slash!
The six cold lights instantly pierced into the young man's head.
Some pierced into his eyes, some went through his forehead, some stabbed into his temples…
Blood spurted everywhere!
The young man died in a gruesome manner.
Blood oozed out of his eyes, nose, and mouth.
Panic, despair, unwillingness, and even regret… all kinds of emotions solidified on the face that was slowly losing its vitality.
Wang Teng looked at the body as it fell backward. It crashed forcefully onto the ground.
He said calmly, "I'm sorry. I don't want to die."

Chapter 122: What A Good Person
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Once the young man died, the bird that he was sitting on rose into the air and… flew away.
It flew away!
It just flew away and abandoned its owner.
This was a heartless spiritual pet.
Wang Teng had a moment of silence for the young man.
This man was a failure!
Even its spiritual pet abandoned it. How sorrowful!
Everything had ended. Wang Teng heaved a sigh of relief.
That bird had truly made them suffer. If he could, he wanted to keep it here, but he didn't have the ability to do anything for now.
After heaving a sigh of relief, his tensed mind gradually relaxed. The next instant, waves of pain assaulted his mind. It was as though a bat was stirring his brain viciously.
A while ago, to resist the attack of the Fire God Cannon, he had released his spiritual power to form a defensive wall. The consumption was enormous.
After that, he had called forth all his energy to defeat the 3-star soldier-level young man. He fought with all his might.
That was why his spiritual power was totally drained now.
The aftereffect almost caused Wang Teng to faint from the pain.
It took a long time for the pain to subside. It wasn't that painful anymore, but he still felt like dying.
Wang Teng kept up his spirits and started looking for his teammates.
He searched for a long time before he finally found everyone.
They were all grievously injured and unconscious. No matter how Wang Teng called them, they wouldn't wake up.
Their spiritual power wasn't as strong as Wang Teng's, so they were unable to handle the shock from the explosion.
Yang Fei was in the worst state.
One of his legs broke from the explosion. Blood was everywhere, and the pain caused his body to twitch uncontrollably.
Wang Teng could only help him stop his blood. He used whatever medication he could use on him.
He treated the others the same way.
There were many wounds on their bodies. Many areas were burnt black, so he used internal and external medications on them. He hoped that they would pull through.
He didn't have the time to look at the attribute bubbles around him carefully. He just picked them up.
He dragged his tired body and placed his teammates in a safe place.
After searching the corpse of the young man, he burnt him into ashes to remove the traces.
At this moment, in a cave.
Wang Teng ate some healing medicine and rested for a few hours. His body and spirit got better gradually. Although he wasn't able to return to his prime, he felt much better than before.
Lin Zhan and the other team members had not woken up yet.
He sized up the Fire God Cannon in his hand and found it unbelievable.
This Fire God Cannon was as thick as an adult's thigh and was adorned by simple and unsophisticated patterns on its surface. It looked like the type of cannon that appeared during the steam age on Earth hundreds of years ago.
Of course, their powers weren't comparable.
Who would have thought that this ordinary-looking thing had such extraordinary power!
The entire Tiger Warrior team almost died because of its attack. If every martial warrior had one of these, they would be invincible.
However, he knew that this was unrealistic.
The Fire God Cannon used the Force compression device to compress a huge amount of Force into a small ball. Then, it released the ball.
The Force compression device was said to be something left behind by the previous era in the Xingwu Continent. It combined mechanisms, runes, and many other skills of that civilization. In short, it was extremely complicated to create.
Also, the materials used in this cannon had to withstand the compressed Force. If not, the cannon would explode before the Force was released.
You would be hitting yourself instead of your enemy.
Naturally, this kind of material wasn't cheap. It was hard to find too.
Hence, Fire God Cannon was extremely hard to create!
Ordinary people couldn't afford to use it!
What did this all mean? The young man had an impressive background!
Forget it. He had already killed him. It was useless to think about all these now.
Wang Teng shook his head.
Besides the Fire God Cannon, Wang Teng also found a ring when he was getting rid of the corpse.
A ring that couldn't be burnt by the flames of Force!
Is this a space ring?
Wang Teng thought of this possibility and used his spiritual power to explore the ring. He instantly felt his vision changing. He saw a space.
Oh my god, it's really a space ring. I'm rich now.
Wang Teng was elated. A space ring wasn't an everyday item. Even Lin Zhan, who was a 3-star martial warrior, didn't have one.
It was rare to hear of this item normally. Maybe it was only used on a small scale, as regular martial warriors probably couldn't afford to use them.
You could tell how precious this was.
Maybe his insight and imagination were limited by his lack of money.
Maybe everyone was using such high-class items.
Wang Teng shook his head and mocked himself. He happily played with the space ring as he counted the items inside.
There were many things there: energy stones, dan pills, spiritual dan, ores, and more.
Wow, this fellow is extremely wealthy!
Wang Teng exclaimed in his heart. He moved his thoughts and took out a ball of ore from the space ring.
Why did he choose this ore and not other things?
He couldn't help it. This ore was glittering in gold and was exceptionally eye-catching.
"Damn it. It's quite heavy!"
When the ore landed on his hand, Wang Teng felt his palm sinking down.
His strength was quite powerful. He might have been caught off guard, but you could tell that the ore wasn't light.
It was the size of a basketball, and it was shimmering with gold light. Wang Teng thought that it was gold at first, but now, he denied this thought. Gold wasn't so heavy.
This must be a special ore from the Xingwu Continent.
Unfortunately, the ores written in the 'Five Years of Martial Arts Exam, Three Years of Mock Papers' were all commonly seen ones. This ore wasn't included in that list.
Wang Teng kept the ore and turned his attention to his attributes panel.

Overall Battle Power: 342
Blank Attribute: 90
When he killed that young man, he had targeted his head. This might be why there were 3 points of spirit attributes.
However, when he added them to this spiritual realm, it only increased by 0.3 points. Without a doubt, the ratio of normal spirit attributes and spiritual realm attributes was 10:1.
Next was the Force.
After adding 23 points to his fire Force attribute, he had broken through the doors of 1-star soldier level and reached 2-star soldier level.
He was a 2-star soldier-level martial warrior!
At this moment, Wang Teng was already a 2-star soldier-level martial warrior.
The second Force nucleus on his spine lit up. The fire Force poured into the Force nucleus and spiraled in it happily.
There was only fire Force in the second Force nucleus. The other Forces still remained in the first Force nucleus. They had not reached the limit yet, so they were unable to enter the second Force nucleus.
Because of his advancement, the injury on his body healed fairly quickly.
When he felt the power coursing through his veins, Wang Teng smiled.
Was this considered getting some good out of a misfortune?
But, why did my fire Force increase so much? Could it be that the Fire God Cannon dropped some fire Force attributes?
He was a little surprised, so he was making wild guesses.
Also, his earth Force had increased by 10, water Force by 8, metal Force by 12, and wind Force by 15 points.
The Force attribute of these elements rose again.
Wang Teng just scanned through these attributes. His gaze finally landed on his talent, scripture, and battle techniques.
Intermediate Stage Wind Talent*5
He saw intermediate stage wind talent again!
This young man was able to become a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior before he turned 30. This meant that his talent was not bad. Wang Teng felt that this was all because of his intermediate stage wind talent.
Now, Wang Teng was able to feel more intimate towards the wind Force in his surroundings. When he used his wind Force, it was much smoother.
He had a sudden thought. A wisp of wind Force came out of his Force nucleus and congregated into a green whirlwind ball in his palm.
A gust of wind blew in the cave because of this small ball.
Is this the wind Force? Let's try its power!
He moved his thoughts and controlled the green Force, condensing it into a wind blade.
1
Go!
The wind blade flew out and left a deep scratch on the stone wall.
Not bad. If I can condense it further, it will be more powerful. Wang Teng thought to himself silently.
His gaze turned to his scriptures and battle techniques.
Wind Soul Scripture—dark-level high-class scripture!
Green Gale Claw——dark-level high-class battle technique!
Wang Teng was delighted. The scripture and battle technique the young man dropped were all dark-level high-class. Based on the price in the internal Jixin Martial House web, these would cost at least a few hundred million.
This young man, even though he didn't know what his name was, Wang Teng suddenly felt grateful towards him…
This was a good man!
He came to send the Fire God Cannon, the space ring, the talents, and even scriptures and battle techniques…
Was there a better person than him?
That was why killing someone and snatching their possessions was the correct path to becoming wealthy!
Wang Teng touched his chin as he pondered to himself.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a dark aura surrounding his body…
"Wang Teng…"
At this moment, Lin Zhan's weak voice sounded from behind him…
In an instant, everything went back to normal. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Leader, you're awake!" Wang Teng hurriedly got up and walked over. He looked at him in concern and asked, "Do you feel better?"
Lin Zhan shook his head. "How's everyone?"
"Same as you. However, Yang Fei…" Wang Teng stopped talking.
1
Lin Zhan immediately started looking for Yang Fei's figure in the cave. When he saw his broken leg, he visibly shook.
"Old Yang…"
After some time, Yan Jinming, Liu Yan, and the rest of the teammates woke up one after another. They gathered around Yang Fei. The atmosphere was silent, and the air was filled with sorrow.
When Yang Fei opened his eyes, this was the scene he saw.
The expressions on their faces caused his heart to drop. Then, he felt the excruciating pain in his leg.
"My leg…"
Yang Fei's eyes were wide open. He was almost howling. This stimulation was too great for him.
"Old Yang, calm down!" Lin Zhan shouted.

"My leg is gone. Damn it, my leg is gone. How do you expect me to remain calm? Huh? Tell me, how the hell do you expect me to remain calm?" Yang Fei was a little out of control as he yelled at Lin Zhan.
"It's all my fault. If I didn't choose to fight with him head-on, this might not have happened," Lin Zhan suddenly said in a depressed tone.
"Leader, don't blame yourself. No one will give up their spoils of war in that situation. Also, even if we had handed over the items to him, he might not have let us go. This is the world of martial warriors. It has always been like this," Liu Yan consoled him.
"You chose to walk on this path. Yang Fei, you should have thought of this day. Why are you blaming others?" Yan Jinming's words were cruel, but it was the truth.
"Brother…" Yan Jinyue couldn't bear to hear his words.
Yang Fei was stunned. Then, he started wailing.
Actually, he knew that Yan Jinming was telling the truth, but he couldn't accept it.
Everyone kept quiet.
Yang Fei cried for a long time before he stopped gradually. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Yan Jinming is right. This is all my choice. I can't blame anyone. Leader, I'm sorry. I lost control of my emotions just now."
Lin Zhan moved the corners of his lips. In the end, he just sighed and patted Yang Fei's shoulder. "When we go back to Earth, go and find an office job. You won't have to live on the edge every day anymore and worry about when you will die."
"Alright." Yang Fei nodded rapidly.
The atmosphere was still heavy. Yan Jinming changed the topic and asked, "How did we survive?"
"Ask Wang Teng. He's the one who saved us," Lin Zhan said.
"The young man thought that all of you had died from the explosion, so he sought his own death and came down from the sky. Noticing that I was just a 1-star martial warrior, he let down his guard. I managed to sneak an attack on him." Wang Teng simplified everything.
"That's it?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"That's it!" Wang Teng nodded. "If not, what do you think happened?"
…They were speechless.
That was too… simple!
The powerful character that almost wiped out their entire team was killed by Wang Teng's sneak attack. No matter how many times they thought about it, it sounded unbelievable.
Could it be that the guy was just a newbie who managed to force the elite team into a tight corner because he had the frightening weapon, the Fire God Cannon, and was in the sky?
"However, that fellow must have a good background. We need to be careful after we go back," Wang Teng said.
"That's right. He had the Fire God Cannon, so he might come from some elite family." Lin Zhan nodded. He asked, "Did you clean up the scene?"
"I got rid of the corpse and all the traces. I'm a professional." Wang Teng nodded.
Everyone's expressions turned weird.
Why did he sound as though this wasn't the first time he was doing this?
They realized that they seemed to have underestimated this young man. Every time they felt that they understood him, he opened up their minds again.
Was this fellow really a high school student who just graduated?
After resting for a day and a night, everyone barely recovered. Since they wouldn't be able to heal completely within a short time, they decided to return to Yong City.
Especially Yang Fei. It was better to bring him back to earth to receive the best treatment.
He wouldn't be able to get his leg back, though.
There was a kind of dan that was able to regrow bones and flesh, but they were definitely unable to afford it. They could only rely on medical technologies.
The few of them carefully left the Dark Mist Forest. They drove the armored vehicle and went back to Yong City.
At the Jixin Martial House branch.
When their martial warrior friends saw them, they were flabbergasted.
"Lin Zhan, what happened to you? Why are you all in this state?"
They had already decided on their story. Lin Zhan sighed and said, "Don't talk about it. We met a 4-star star beast in the outer circle. We almost couldn't come back."
"You're really unlucky!" The martial warriors from the martial arts academy surrounded them and looked at them with pity.
"Everyone, move. Brother Yang is injured. Don't block the way!" Someone saw Yang Fei's broken leg, so they hurriedly ordered the others to clear a path.

Lin Zhan and his teammates nodded at their friends. They went to the martial arts lobby to make a report before heading to the dimensional rift.
The discussions behind them never stopped, even after the other martial warriors saw them leaving.
Lin Zhan and his teammates came to the dimensional rift and returned to Earth. They hurriedly sent Yang Fei to the hospital.
Yang Fei's family had already received the news and were waiting at the hospital.
When Yang Fei's parents and wife saw his miserable condition, they wept uncontrollably. They hugged him and cried their hearts out.
At first, they thought that becoming a martial warrior was something to be proud of for their family. All these years, Yang Fei had earned a lot of money, and the life of his family got better and better. He even had a higher identity and status as compared to other normal people.
Ever since Yang Fei became a martial warrior, many relatives that never contacted them for a long time came to ask them for help. Their family was incredibly proud no matter where they went.
Others were envious when they learned that their family had a martial warrior.
However, they never expected this to be the ending. It was difficult to accept it.
"Alright, stop crying. I just lost a leg. With my ability as a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior, I will be able to live like a normal person after I put on a prosthetic leg."
"Also, I can find an office job in the martial arts academy in the future. I will be able to go home more often. All of you should be happy." Yang Fei patted the shoulders of his parents and wife and smiled.
Yang Fei's wife was a teacher. She looked prim and proper and was less than 30 years old. When she heard his words, she nodded. "You can accompany your daughter and me more in the future. I won't have to be in a state of anxiety all the time either."
"It's good that you're alive." Yang Fei's parents wiped their tears and looked at him amiably.
"Yang Fei, don't worry. I will personally settle your work for you. You have more than sufficient ability to be a martial warrior instructor. I think that the martial arts academy will give you a satisfactory answer," Lin Zhan patted Yang Fei's shoulder and said.
"Thank you, leader!" Yang Fei nodded.
"Why are you so polite? If you have any troubles in the future, you can call us. We have been teammates for many years. We might not be blood-related, but we're closer than a family," Lin Zhan said.
"That's right. If you don't call us, we will beat you up." Liu Yan waved her fist at Yang Fei. Then, she said to his wife, "Sister, you need to look after him. This fellow might seem humble, but he's actually really stubborn."
"Sister Liu, don't worry." Yang Fei's wife smiled and replied, "Come and visit us often. Our daughter keeps talking about you."
"Alright. Tell your daughter that I will come with a gift next time," Liu Yan smiled and said.
After settling Yang Fei, the other team members bade farewell and left.
"Go back and get some rest. We will calculate our gains tomorrow and sell them to the martial arts academy. If we sell them internally, we won't be cheated. As for the star bone, I will see if there's an auction. We will put it up for auction," Lin Zhan said.
The other team members had no objections.
On the way home, Wang Teng felt complicated. He never expected his first trip to the Xingwu Continent to be so short but so eventful. He had experienced so many things. He was deeply affected.

Chapter 124: They Actually Have A Small Secret!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the way home, Wang Teng thought of many things.
He had only become a martial warrior for a short time, but he had experienced many upheavals.
At the start, he was attacked by two martial warriors, allowing him to see the ruthlessness of the martial warrior world. Then, he saw the cruelty of the actual combat assessment.
After that, it was this trip to the Xingwu Continent.
The entire martial warrior world seemed to be covered in layers of shaw. It was slowly revealing its true face to him layer by layer.
He never knew that behind all the glamor of martial warriors, it was so bloody and gruesome.
When there were gains, there were losses.
If you wanted to gain something, you would have to lose something.
Wang Teng sighed. His belief got firmer.
"Mister, I'm not going to Fuhua Villa District anymore. Please drive to the university town."
He suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to the driver in front.
Before leaving, he had told his parents that he would be out for a month. It had only been a few days. If he went back now, he would need to explain to them.
If they knew what he experienced in the Xingwu Continent, they might be even more worried. There was no need to let them do another round of psychological construction.
He was going to the Xingwu Continent again soon. This time, he decided to go alone.
The driver glanced at Wang Teng from the rearview mirror. He didn't say anything.
This fellow looked wealthy and stupid!
1
Hence, he turned his car around and headed to the university town.
At the university town, in front of his rented house, Wang Teng met his landlord. He was bringing his wife out for shopping. This middle-aged man was always half a head shorter in front of his wife.
"Old Brother Wang, Sister Han, are you going out to play?" Wang Teng opened the door of the small courtyard and asked casually.
"Hey, Brother Wang, I haven't seen you in a while. Yes, your Sister Han wants to buy some clothes," Wang Dapao smiled and replied.
"I have been busy with the university entrance exam recently. I finally had time to come here again today," Wang Teng said.
"Oh, so you're taking the university entrance exam this year? How is it? Speaking about it, the top scholar for the martial arts exam this year is called Wang something. Another young man with the surname Wang. As expected, our Wang family has a lot of talents," Wang Dapao said proudly.
The corners of Wang Teng's lips twitched.
There are many talents in the Wang family, but that doesn't include you, the salted fish uncle, right?
Also…
I'm standing right in front of you. What do you mean by Wang something!
Sister Han, who was standing beside him, rolled her eyes at her husband. "The top scholar of the martial arts exam this year is called Wang Teng. Brother Wang, that must be you!"
"Huh?" Wang Dapao was stunned. He touched his head and asked, "I do think he's called Wang Teng. Is that really you?"
…Wang Teng was speechless. "Old Brother Wang, you need to drink more goji berry tea. Look at your memory!"
"Bullshit. Your Old Brother Wang's body is really good. I don't need any goji berry tea," Wang Dapao said guiltily.
"Hmph." Sister Han snorted.
"Brother Wang, carry on with your stuff. We won't disturb you." After she said that, she pulled Wang Dapao's hand and left.
Wang Teng laughed while shaking his head. He entered his rented house and closed the door properly.
He went to the room to take a look at the crow egg. It hadn't hatched yet. It was still inside.
Wang Teng didn't care about it. He took some clothes to change and entered the bathroom to wash up.
When he came back, he took off his battle uniform so that he wouldn't seem too outstanding when he entered the city area.
After bathing, he wiped his hair and walked into his bedroom. He took out his phone and turned it on.
When heading to the Xingwu Continent, he had turned off his phone. In fact, he didn't even bring his phone along with him. After all, he wouldn't be able to receive signals from the Earth on the Xingwu Continent.
The moment he opened his phone, a few messages popped out immediately.
Some messages were sent by Bai Wei, Xu Jie, and their group of friends. Lin Chuxia and Lin Chuhan had sent him messages too.
Bai Wei and Xu Jie asked him what he was doing and wanted to look for him to meet up.
Wang Teng shook his head.
He would never go out and play.
After all, the Xingwu Continent was more fun. If he wanted to play, he would go to the Xingwu Continent…
From Xu Jie's message, he knew that the female devil, Xu Hui, was already back. She was looking for him with all her effort.
For some reason, he felt his little bird hurting slightly.
He mustn't let her find him.
It was too scary!
Wang Teng decided not to reply to him.
Lin Chuhan had messaged him to inquire about where he brought Lin Chuxia out to play that night.
Her excitement never subsided for a few days.
'Ask your sister!' Wang Teng smiled and typed a reply.
'Why are you scolding me!' After some time, Lin Chuhan replied to him. (In Chinese, ask your sister can be used to scold people).
'I'm asking you to ask your sister.' Wang Teng was speechless.
'That stupid lady won't tell me.'
'In that case, I can't tell you either. This is our secret.'
The two of you actually have a small secret!
Lin Chuhan felt as if the entire world had forsaken her. She felt depressed for no reason.
(へメ)
Hmph, men are indeed flirtatious and unfaithful.
Should I steam, barbecue, or fry him?
'What's wrong with you?' When Wang Teng that she didn't reply for a long time, he couldn't help but send a message.
'Go away!'
She replied with two angry words and then ignored him.
Wang Teng: ??
You were the one who looked for me first. Now, you're asking me to go away?
Am I someone you can call over whenever you want and push away whenever you feel like it?
Hmph, women are so fickle-minded!
'Sure, I'll leave immediately~' A shameless message was sent out.
The last message was a short one by Lin Chuxia. 'Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, when are you bringing me out to play again?'
Wow, this young lady is addicted!
Wang Teng replied, 'I'm not free.'
At the Lin family's house, Lin Chuxia got excited when she saw Wang Teng's message. However, after she saw the content, she pouted.
"Brother-in-law suddenly doesn't like me anymore." Lin Chuxia laid on the table and felt dejected.
'Oh right, did you see the USB that the 'God of Guns' gave you? (_) Miao.' Wang Teng sent another message.
When Lin Chuxia saw the message, she felt excited again.
'There's a skill called Gun Kungfu recorded on the USB. It looks really amazing.'
As expected, this USB was mass-produced. Was it reliable?
Wang Teng sent another message as he pondered about this.
'Did he add any private things inside?'
'No!'
'How is that possible?' Wang Teng was surprised.
'What else is there supposed to be?' Lin Chuxia was stunned too.
'Hahaha!' Wang Teng sent an awkward smile emoticon over.
Damn it, that fellow treated me differently. F*k him!
'Nothing. If you're bored, you can practice Gun Kungfu. I don't know if it's real or fake.'
'Alright, I'll give it a try.'
'That's all. I'll get busy with my things.'
'Alright!'
After he replied to all the messages, Wang Teng took a deep breath.
He also received another message of a bank transfer into his account—3 million!
There was a short message added at the end. 'Wang Teng, the volcano salamander has been sold. I have transferred the money to you!'
Wang Teng understood what happened. During the actual combat assessment, he had killed a volcano salamander and the three martial warriors at the scene helped him sell it.
He didn't expect one 1-star star beast to fetch him 3 million. The money came too quickly.
This didn't include the star core. If not, the price would be higher.
Indeed, the money of a martial warrior came really quickly. If he killed more star beasts, he would be able to reach a few hundred million soon. He had a space ring now, so things would be more convenient for him.

Chapter 125: Why Are You Slandering Me!
Speaking of the USB the God of Guns gave him, Wang Teng suddenly remembered the illegible map he drew.
Erm… Well, he could call it a map for now.
Wang Teng suddenly got invigorated. He went online and started searching based on the design of the map.
However…
Half an hour later, he couldn't find a place that corresponded to the map. His efforts were all in vain.
Damn it, did I get fooled by him again?
Huh… Why did I use the word 'again'?
Wang Teng shook his head.
Forget it. Why am I arguing with a mental patient?
I wonder how much I can earn from this trip to the Xingwu Continent? Wang Teng pondered silently.
Because of the explosion by the Fire God Cannon, his shield was broken and his battle uniform was ruined. He wouldn't be able to use them again.
Those things had cost him a few million. He felt his heart hurting just thinking about it.
But, reality proved that the shield and the battle uniform were able to protect his life during critical times.
Hence, he had to buy them again once they were spoiled.
I don't think I have enough money. Let's buy them after the leader sells off the battle spoils.
Wang Teng counted what was left of his money. Zhao Gangbao gave him 10 million as compensation, and he earned 3 million from selling the volcano salamander.
It seemed like a lot, but Wang Teng wanted to buy something better.
Protecting his life was the most important!
Then, there was the Shooting Star Spiral as well. He must forge it as soon as possible. The Shooting Star Spiral was a unique trump card. His power would be heavily discounted if the weapon that could unleash his potential wasn't present.
Wang Teng immediately contacted Master Lu: Are you there?
Master Lu: Yes, dear. I've already completed examining the blueprint of the Shooting Star Spiral.
This sentence was followed by a smiley face that was laughing hysterically.
Wang Teng asked: Can you make it?
Master Lu: No!
Wang Teng felt the veins on his forehead popping out. Why are you laughing when you can't do it!
Master Lu: But, I showed it to my senior brother. He said that it's a piece of cake for him (*)
This was followed by a 'please praise me' emoticon.
Wang Teng: Can you complete your sentence at once next time?
Master Lu: No problem dear φ(ω*)
Wang Teng felt helpless.
Wang Teng: How am I supposed to pass the materials to you?
Master Lu: The materials are indeed rare. It's better to hand them over personally.
Wang Teng raised his eyebrows.
Were they going to meet face to face?
Wang Teng didn't mind. As the official partner of Jixin Martial House, Master Lu was worth trusting.
Wang Teng: How should I look for you?
Master Lu: There's no need to look for me. Look for my senior brother. He's helping someone forge his weapon in Donghai. I'll send you his address and phone number. You can contact him directly, dear.
Wang Teng: Alright.
The other party sent him a phone number.
Wang Teng dialed the number and arranged to meet the person tomorrow afternoon.
The following day, at 9 am, Wang Teng arrived at Jixin Martial House and joined Lin Zhan and the rest of his teammates.
"He's here!"
Lin Zhan walked over. "We'll go to the third floor. The star beast material transaction zone is there."
Wang Teng nodded. When the group arrived on the third floor, they walked past the corridor and stopped in front of a door.
The transaction room!
These were the three words written on the door.
They entered the room. It was extremely spacious. More than ten staff were arranging all kinds of star beast materials on the empty ground on the right side. They seemed really busy.
Directly facing the door was a row of tables. A few people were sitting behind the tables.
There were two small teams of martial warriors selling their ingredients. They were bargaining with the staff behind the table.
"Let's wait for a moment," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng and his teammates nodded.
After some time, one of the two teams finished their transaction and turned around. They had satisfied expressions on their faces as they prepared to leave.
"Huh? Lin Zhan, I heard that you were grooming a newbie. Why are you back so early?" The leader of the team was a middle-aged man. He was stunned when he saw Lin Zhan.
"An accident happened, so we had to return first," Lin Zhan replied with a bitter smile.
"Why? Is the newbie disobedient?" The middle-aged man frowned. "I advised you against it, you know. He's the top scholar of the martial arts exam. He's definitely someone hard to deal with. He will be huge trouble for you once you let him into your team."
Wang Teng: …
He got reprimanded for no reason!
Wang Teng felt extremely wronged. He looked at the man with hidden bitterness.
How did I provoke you? Why must you slander me!
"Old Zhao, you are wrong this time. If it wasn't for this newbie, we wouldn't have been able to come back." Lin Zhan pulled Wang Teng out to the front and continued, "Look, this is the top scholar of the martial arts exam, a 1-star martial warrior. He's not like the other newbies who only drag people down. He has genuine skill. Of course, the most important thing is, he is really… sinister!"
At first, Wang Teng was happy. Toward the end, though, he was caught off guard by Lin Zhan.
Really sinister!
F*k, how am I sinister?
I'm such a straightforward and down-to-earth person. I work hard, yet you said I'm sinister!
There's no need to speak anymore. Let's sever our relationship!
We are not friends from now on!
That middle-aged man looked at Wang Teng in surprise. His teammates also sized Wang Teng up curiously. "Is he really as sinister as you said?"
"Of course." Lin Zhan nodded seriously.
…The corners of Wang Teng's lips twitched. He was on the verge of blowing his top.
Is this enough!
Are you done?
"Good fellow. This is the first time Lin Zhan praised someone like this." The middle-aged man raised his thumb.
"Coming back, what did you meet?"
"Don't mention it. We met a 4-star star beast."
The middle-aged man gasped in shock. "You're really unlucky."
"I've heard this sentence no less than five times after I came back. As a martial warrior, there's no such thing as being unlucky. This is the path we chose," Lin Zhan said. "I need to sell my materials. Talk to you again soon."
"Looks like your gains are not bad. Let me take a look at them," the middle-aged man smiled and said.
"We suffered such a huge loss. How can we not have any gains?" Lin Zhan arrived in front of the transaction desk and poured all the materials out.
"Wow, this is the horn of a star beast. There's a star core too!" The middle-aged man exclaimed.
The transaction staff raised his head in astonishment too. Then, he asked, "Are you selling everything?"
"That's right. Please count them."
The staff nodded and started counting the items. At the same time, he inspected the items and gave them an estimated price tag.
"The claws are 7 million. The horn is 12 million. The star core is 50 million.
"The claws of the gale wolves will be 6 million in total.
"The fangs of the earth armor pig will be 1 million, its armor is 2 million, and its star core will be 11 million."
"Do you have any objections regarding this price?" asked the staff after giving his estimate.
"The price of the single-horn denglong star core is too low. That's a 3-star beast. It should be at least 70 million." Lin Zhan shook his head.
"50 million is already very high. I quote you this much because it's a 3-star star beast core. If you sell it outside, you might not be able to get this price," the staff replied.
"No way, our team suffered many losses in order to kill this single-horn denglong." Lin Zhan shook his head continuously.
"How about this? Since we are all members of Jixin Martial House, I'll give you 60 million," the staff hesitated before answering.
"A little higher!"
"This is the highest I can go!"
Lin Zhan exchanged glances with his teammates. They looked as though they were losing 10 billion. He gritted his teeth and nodded. "Sigh, alright. I will take this price. Transaction staff like you are like vampires. 60 million is definitely not your limit."
"Brother, if you want to eat meat, you have to leave some soup for us," the staff replied with a forced smile.
Lin Zhan snorted.
After finishing the transaction, everyone walked out of the room and started splitting the gains.
"By right, I should be getting 30%. Liu Yan, Yang Fei, Yan Jinming, and Yan Jinyue will get 15%, while Wang Teng gets 10%. However, Yang Fei got into an accident, so I decided to take only 10% this time. I'll give 15% to Yang Fei and the other 5 % to Wang Teng to thank him for saving us," Lin Zhan said.
"Leader, how can you do that? You can't bear everything yourself," Liu Yan said.
"That's right. Why don't we reset the distribution ratio entirely? Yang Fei can take 40%, Wang Teng will get 20%, and we will all take 10%," Yan Jinming said.
"I don't need so much." Wang Teng felt a little embarrassed to receive such a high share. After all, he had already gotten a space ring from the young man as well as the Fire God Cannon. Lin Zhan and his teammates didn't covet it and gave it to him directly.
"Yang Fei can take 50%. I will take 10% just like the rest of you. After all, I've already had many gains."
"Okay, let's stop arguing. We will follow this percentage." Lin Zhan had the final say.
Liu Yan and the other team members didn't have any more to add.
Once Wang Teng chose to give his 10% to the injured Yang Fei, their impression of him rose again. They treated him more like their teammate.
"I went to check yesterday night. There's an auction three days later. It will be a grand auction held by one of the top ten international auction houses, Bangde.
"Many important people will be at the auction. In fact, we're lucky this time. Let's auction this star bone. It will definitely fetch a good price."
Lin Zhan smiled as he spoke.
"The Bangde Auction House? And a grand auction at that! It's a rare occasion that might only happen once every few years," Yan Jinming said in astonishment.
"That's why I said that we're lucky," Lin Zhan replied.
"There will be many important people. Will we get targeted by someone?" Wang Teng frowned and asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. The identity of the owner of the auction item will be kept a secret. They have never lost their credibility after so many years. If not, they won't be able to become one of the top ten auction houses," Lin Zhan replied.
"That's true. Even some bidders who don't want to show their faces can hide their identities too. I've never heard of anyone's identity getting exposed." Liu Yan agreed.
"Also, the star bone might seem priceless to us, but to these wealthy and important people, it is just a small fraction of their wealth," Yan Jinming said.
"That's right. The world of wealthy people is not something we can imagine." Liu Yan lamented.
…Wang Teng suddenly felt that he might be a poor lad.
What rich second generation? He wouldn't bring this identity out anymore! It was embarrassing!
"It's decided then. Let's bring the star bone there now and sign the agreement. After that, we will only have to wait for the auction three days later," Lin Zhan said.
Thus, the team went to the Bangde Auction House. When the auction house manager heard that someone had come with a star bone, he hurriedly went out to welcome them. He brought everyone to a meeting room and poured some tea.
He said with a pleasant smile on his face, "Everyone, are you planning to sell the star bone?"
Lin Zhan didn't say anything. He just took out the star bone.
"Quick, ask Old Xu to come." The eyes of the manager lit up. He ordered the staff beside him.
After some time, an old man strode into the meeting room. "Where is the star bone? Hurry up, and let me take a look."
Half an hour later, the group walked out in a jovial mood.
Their star bone would be the seventh last item to be auctioned. This position was enough to show how much importance the auction house placed on their item. They would definitely get a good price for it.

Chapter 126: Smithery
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the afternoon, Wang Teng came to the district where Master Lu's senior brother was living.
He looked at the slightly worn-out old street and wondered to himself, Do all the masters live in this kind of place?
Does this kind of place appear higher in class?
Does it make them appear more stylish?
Forget it. Let's not care about this.
Wang Teng walked into the old street and stopped outside a broken-down shop called 'Master Lu Branch Store.'
He was speechless when he saw this name. It was really recognizable!
This shop was a little too dilapidated, though. People who didn't know what it was might think that it was opened by a blacksmith from the countryside.
Wang Teng shook his head and entered the shop.
He scanned his surroundings. Just like its exterior, the shop was simple and crude. There was ironware placed casually all around him, including kitchen knives, butcher knives, spatulas, and many others.
Oh my god, were there people who wanted to forge these items?
Weren't they all mass-produced?
Fortunately, he also saw blades and swords. If not, he would have thought that he was in the wrong place.
"Is anyone here?" Wang Teng didn't see anyone inside, so he shouted towards a door in the shop.
"Who is it?" A voice came from inside.
"I made an appointment with you yesterday about forging the Shooting Star Spiral," Wang Teng replied.
"Oh, the Shooting Star Spiral. You can come in." The voice sounded again.
Wang Teng entered the door and walked in.
After passing through a short corridor, he was greeted with a huge forging room at the back.
A man with muscles all over his body was holding a big iron hammer and hammering something in front of the furnace.
When he saw this slightly ancient forging scene, Wang Teng was stunned for a moment.
The inside of the furnace was entirely red, and heat waves flowed out continuously. The temperature of the room was extremely high because of the furnace.
Wang Teng frowned. The ice Force flowed through his entire body to alleviate the heat.
"Please wait for a moment. I'm almost done."
The muscular hunk raised his huge hammer and knocked the sword he was making. Sparks flew everywhere. Sweat drenched his entire body.
"Alright, you can finish your work first." Wang Teng looked at him with interest. A few seconds later, his gaze suddenly paused.
Smithery*5
An attribute bubble dropped from the muscular hunk.
You can drop attributes when you're forging weapons? Wang Teng was dumbfounded. Then, he used his spiritual power to pull the bubble over.
A new item appeared in his knowledge column.
Smithery (foundation 5/100)
At the same time, knowledge of smithery appeared in his mind. It was very abstract with no flow to it.
But, this wasn't a problem. As long as he kept picking up attribute bubbles, his smithery knowledge would increase.
It was not harmful to learn some smithery. He might be able to forge his own weapons in the future and wouldn't need to seek help from others.
Now, the only problem was…
Will I become a muscular blacksmith in the future?
Just thinking about it made his hair stand on ends. He was unable to accept himself having so many muscles on his body.
He hurriedly shook his head to shake the image out of his mind.
It was so frightening!
If that really happened, he would rather give up.
He could just spend money and let other people forge his weapons. It was a little troublesome, but compared to his own image, this was nothing.
Smithery*5
Huh? It dropped again! Let's pick it up! Wang Teng saw another attribute bubble drop, so he picked it up without thinking.
He could learn smithery first. Whether he used it or not was another thing.
At this moment, Wang Teng wasn't impatient anymore. He hoped that he could wait a little longer to see if the muscular hunk would drop more attribute bubbles.
The muscular hunk probably had some misunderstanding of the phrase 'almost done.' After he greeted Wang Teng, he threw him to the back of his mind and started forging his sword seriously. He seemed to have forgotten about Wang Teng.
Smithery*3
Smithery*5
Fortunately, Wang Teng didn't wait in vain. He decided to forgive the blacksmith because of the attribute bubbles.
Smithery (foundation 53/100)
1
It was hard to imagine that after a round of waiting, he had received 53 points of smithery attributes in total.
Now, more and more knowledge of smithery appeared in his mind. He felt a sense of familiarity in his body, as though he had practiced forging, degree of heating, the strength of hammering, and distinguishing metal patterns for more than a year. He suddenly felt that his mind was filled with good stuff.
This was amazing!
Suddenly, another attribute bubble dropped!
This…
Lu Hammering Skill*5
It was a hammering skill!
However, this hammering skill was different from the mace skill during a battle. This one was used to forge weapons.
Oh my god, there was a surprise at the end.
This hammering skill was worth picking up.
He didn't pick up the mace skills for battle since he didn't like to use battle maces. That was against his image.
But, this was different. If he really wanted to be a blacksmith in the future, he needed to have this hammering skill.
The Lu Hammering Skill became one of his battle techniques.
Lu Hammering Skill (foundation 5/100)
A light figure started practicing the skill in his mind. Then, like the rivers that flowed back into the sea, it seeped into his body.
This is good stuff!
Wang Teng's eyes lit up like light bulbs. The Lu Hammering Skill was actually an earth-rank skill. What a massive gain for him.
The price of an earth-rank battle technique was frighteningly high.
Also, this wasn't a normal battle technique either. It was a rarely seen smithery technique, so the price would be even higher.
Lu… Master Lu!
Was this a family business and skill?
Wang Teng pondered. If he stole the other party's unique skill, would it be a little uncool?
If Master Lu knew what kind of shameless person he found, he would probably vomit blood in anger.
"Sorry to make you wait for so long." A rough voice pulled Wang Teng's attention back.
"It's alright, it's alright. It was not very long," Wang Teng smiled and said.
Lu Zisheng: …
The way Wang Teng smiled… for some reason, Lu Zisheng felt that this youngster was a little sinister.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Zisheng," Lu Zisheng siad.
"Lu Zhisheng?" Wang Teng looked at him strangely.
This name!
"Zi Li Gen Sheng1," Lu Zisheng said helplessly. He had blamed his eccentric master for giving him this name countless times. Why couldn't he think of other names for him?
"Master Lu, it's my honor to meet you," Wang Teng replied in an enlightened tone.
"I've seen the blueprint for the Shooting Star Spiral you want to forge. There's no problem. Have you brought the materials?" Lu Zisheng asked.
"Yes, I've brought them."
Wang Teng took out the star bone and the dark ice stone. Lu Zisheng's eyes shimmered, looking like a predator that saw his prey. He hurriedly wiped his hands, took the materials, and observed them carefully.
"These are good materials!"
Lu Zisheng caressed the star bone and the dark ice stone with his rough and big hands. He closed his eyes as though he was sensing something. In the end, he couldn't help but praise the materials.
"With these two items, I can create a 6-star Shooting Star Spiral."
"6-star!" Wang Teng was shocked.
He could make a 6-star weapon?
The two materials were part of the reason, but Lu Zisheng's forging skills must be extremely powerful too.
"However, these two materials can only be the main materials. Are you going to prepare your own secondary ingredients, or do you want me to help you purchase them?" Lu Zisheng asked.

Chapter 127: Let's Create A Brick!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wang Teng had a sudden thought. He took out all kinds of ores from his space ring and piled them on the ground.
"Take a look. Do you think you can use any of these?"
"Space ring!" Lu Zisheng was shocked. Where did this fellow come from? He actually had a space ring!
He pondered over Wang Teng's identity as he lowered his head and identified the ores on the ground.
He just glanced at the materials and chose a few that he could use. Then, he stopped looking at them.
However, when he saw the golden ore, his gaze froze. "Dark weight luminary gold!"
"Dark weight luminary gold?" Wang Teng was shocked. "You recognize this?"
He didn't expect to meet someone that understood ores at this place.
1
Also, looking at the other party's expression, this dark weight luminary gold seemed to be quite a treasure.
Could it be that this was a rare ore?
"I'm a blacksmith. Recognizing all kinds of ores and metals is a necessary skill," Lu Zisheng said. "This is an extraordinary metal. Due to its heaviness, it's an excellent material for strength-based martial warriors."
"Is it very heavy? I don't think so. I feel that it's alright." Wang Teng picked up the metal block the size of a basketball and weighed it in his hand. He found it effortless. It wasn't heavy at all.
"Haha, try merging your Force into it," Lu Zisheng said. He seemed to be looking down on a non-professional.
Wang Teng: …
He poured his Force into the piece of ore…
"F*k!"
Suddenly, his hand sank. The metal ore almost escaped his grip and landed on the ground.
"This is really heavy!" Wang Teng exclaimed in shock.
"In theory, the more Force you pour in, the heavier it would be. The weight of this ore can increase continuously," Lu Zisheng explained.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up.
"Are you selling this dark weight luminary gold?" Lu Zisheng suddenly asked.
Wang Teng: …
Were people in this industry all like this?
In the past, Master Lu also asked him whether he was selling his star bone and dark ice stone when he saw the materials. Now, Lu Zisheng said the same thing.
Wang Teng didn't know that to a blacksmith, a good material was hard to come by. The most painful thing was finding good materials and not being able to get them.
"I'm not selling it." Wang Teng was speechless.
"Can't you reconsider?" Lu Zisheng tried one last time.
"If I say I'm not selling it, I'm not selling it." Wang Teng hesitated for a moment, and an idea flashed through his mind. "Can you forge a weapon using this ore for me?"
Lu Zisheng was a little disappointed, but this was within his expectations.
No one would be willing to sell such a good thing.
"You want to use this to make a weapon? No problem. What weapon do you want to forge? Dark weight luminary gold is best for heavy-style weapons like battleaxes, battle maces, or flayers. However, the material is a little limited. You need to add other materials…"
As he was speaking, Wang Teng interrupted him. "Hmm… Help me forge a brick."
"Brick… brick??" Lu Zisheng suspected he might have heard wrong. He glared at Wang Teng with his eyes wide.
"That's right, a brick!" Wang Teng nodded in confirmation.
"No, no, no. Forging it into a brick is a humiliation to the dark weight luminary gold. You're a wastrel. A wastrel!"
Lu Zisheng was so angry that he started panting. He wasn't willing to do it no matter what.
He highly detested Wang Teng's actions of wasting such rare and precious materials.
"Oh, if you can't do it, I can ask other people to make it for me," Wang Teng said casually.
"You!" Lu Zisheng glared at Wang Teng.
Unfortunately, Wang Teng just ignored him. This material is mine. I can decide what I want to do with it.
In the end, Lu Zisheng just sighed helplessly and accepted his fate.
The material wasn't his, so it was useless for him to say anything.
"Forget it. Let me do it. Even if you only want to make a brick, I can make its rank higher. If you give it to other people, they will most likely waste this dark weight luminary gold," Lu Zisheng said in a powerless tone.
"Hehe, I will have to trouble you then." Wang Teng sniggered. A sly look flashed past his eyes.
As expected, real professionals were all honest and stubborn. They were so easy to fool!
"What are you thinking? How did you come up with making a brick?" Lu Zisheng was still complaining.
"I feel that a brick is very convenient. It's really easy to use," Wang Teng said.
Lu Zisheng: ??
Convenient?
He finally knew why this brat gave him a sinister feeling. What normal person would think of forging a brick to use as a weapon?
1
"I will take 10 million from you as the forging fee. You can collect your items in three days."
He didn't want to argue with Wang Teng anymore. He felt his brain hurting even though he only spoke a few sentences. This brat… was poisonous!
1
From the bottom of his heart, Wang Teng felt that he was getting disliked.
This was a sad and sorrowful event.
He paid the money and walked out of Master Lu's branch store. For some reason, he felt a little sad.
Everyone seems to have some misunderstanding with me!
He could only collect his Shooting Star Spiral and brick in three days. The auction was three days later too. Within this time, the only thing Wang Teng could do was wait.
The next day, he had nothing to do. He decided to visit the Master Lu branch store again.
Lu Zisheng's expression changed slightly when he saw Wang Teng.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to come back three days later to collect the items?"
"Oh, I just came to take a look. I can't do that?" asked Wang Teng.
"You can. But, don't talk much and don't interrupt my work." Lu Zisheng looked really uncomfortable. He looked as though he just ate a pile of shit.
"I won't talk. You can do your things. I'll just stay at the side." Wang Teng felt extremely wronged.
Lu Zisheng was too lazy to care about this drama king. He returned to his work.
The sound of metal clanging echoed in the room. Surprisingly, it felt a little rhythmic.
Smithery*5
Smithery*8
Lu Hammering Skill*5
Wang Teng happily collected the attribute bubbles at the side.
This was the primary purpose of this trip today. He wanted to collect the fur from this muscular lamb.
At night, Wang Teng bid farewell to Lu Zisheng and said, "Master Lu, I'll visit tomorrow too."
"You're still coming tomorrow?" Lu Zisheng looked at Wang Teng as he left. He looked constipated.
The next day, Wang Teng came again. He continued collecting the Lu Hammering Skill and Smithery skill attributes.
During the next two days, his Smithery skill broke through the foundation stage and reached small achievement.
Smithery (small achievement 230/500)
The progress of his hammering skill wasn't slower either. He reached the small achievement state.
Lu Hammering Skill (small achievement 55/500)
With his small achievement Smithery skill and Lu Hammering Skill, Wang Teng was confident to forge a 1-star weapon now. Even if he were to forge a 2-star weapon, he felt that he had a 50 to 60% success rate.
The span was extremely wide!
Two days ago, he was an outsider who didn't know anything about smithery. Now, he could already forge a 2-star weapon.
If Lu Zisheng knew Wang Teng's progress in these two days, he might have had a heart attack.
He had practiced smithery for 30 years.
From someone who didn't know anything to be able to forge a 2-star weapon, he took seven years. The hardships he had to endure weren't worth telling other people. What about Wang Teng? He only took two goddam days.
There was nothing to compare. Nothing!
On the last day, Wang Teng didn't go to the Master Lu branch store in the morning. Instead, he headed towards the Bangde Auction House to participate in the auction.

Chapter 128: The Frog In The Well
9 am.
Bangde Auction House.
As one of the top ten auction houses globally, its position and scale were beyond all doubt.
The auction today was an important and large-scale event. Naturally, many people came. Most of them came from impressive backgrounds.
Usually, during such large-scale auctions, there would always be unexpected items that were rare and precious. They would cause the noble bidders to go after them like a flock of ducks.
Even though some people couldn't afford the items, they would find all means to get an invitation. They were willing to break their heads in order to witness this grand occasion.
This was something everyone knew. At the same time, this was what Li Liangda was telling his son, Li Rongcheng.
"Today, the main purpose is to let you see the world. You will meet many martial warriors later. That little brat from the Wang family might have become the top scholar of the martial arts exam as a martial warrior, but compared to the people at the auction today, he's nothing. He's just a young lad. If he wants to become a real powerful person, he still has a long way to go. No one knows if his path will break someday either."
Li Liangda's expression was ruthless. But, when he looked at Li Rongcheng, a hint of love appeared in his gaze.
"Hence, a moment of defeat doesn't mean anything. No one knows whether you or Wang Teng will be more powerful in the future. Take your martial arts exam next year properly. Our Li family will support you with everything. I don't believe that you can't be better than Wang Teng."
"Dad, I understand." Li Rongcheng nodded like a pecking hen. He clenched his fist tightly, and hope was rekindled in his eyes once again.
Wang Teng, just wait. Next year, I will definitely get into a top university. I have the support of the entire Li family. I'll catch up with you soon. At that time, I will make sure you die a terrible death…
Just as he was imagining how he would enter a top university and throw Wang Teng far behind him after he got stronger…
A familiar back view appeared in his vision. The hideous smile on Li Rongcheng's face abruptly froze.
"Wang Teng!
"Dad, it's that little brat!"
Li Liangda looked in the direction Li Rongcheng was pointing at and squinted.
When Wang Teng heard the noise, he turned around.
"Li Rongcheng!"
One can't avoid one's enemy!
This thought appeared in both their minds almost simultaneously.
Wang Teng didn't care about them, though. He continued walking towards the main entrance.
They were holding a grand event today, so security guards were validating the identities of the guests at the entrance. People without invitations weren't allowed to enter.
Wang Teng took out his invitation card and walked in first.
How did Wang Teng get an invitation card? Did the Wang family get him one? Li Liangda frowned and thought to himself silently.
"Dad, didn't you say that the invitation is very hard to get? How did he get it?" Li Rongcheng felt uncomfortable when he saw Wang Teng walking in. He turned around and questioned Li Liangda.
"Why do you make a fuss out of everything? Why are you feeling unhappy just because of an invitation card? Can you have a broader field of vision?" Li Liangda scolded him.
"I, I know my mistake. It's just that every time I see him, I lose my emotions." Li Rongcheng felt aggrieved.
"You need to change yourself. If you continue to remain so narrow-minded, your future might be limited." Li Liangda expected better from his son. However, he still explained patiently, "As for the invitation, it's hard to get one, but with the Wang family's ability, they could get their hands on it if they make some effort."
Li Liangda thought that Wang Teng's invitation came from the Wang family. He never expected Wang Teng to get the invitation himself.
He lectured Li Rongcheng for his narrow-mindedness, but he didn't know that his own vision was limited too.
While he was laughing at other people for being a frog in the well, he should raise his head and look up at the sky above him. Was it the real sky?
Li Liangda brought Li Rongcheng into the main building of the Bangde Auction House.
Both of them were wearing formal clothes. They were in suits and leather shoes, looking like they were here for an official banquet.
"The auction today will be held in the 'Sky' auction hall on the eighth floor. Let's go there directly," Li Liangda looked at the invitation card in his hand and said.
The two of them came in front of the lift. The lift door was about to close.
"Wait!" Li Rongcheng hurriedly ran over and pressed the lift button. He stopped the doors of the lift that was about to close.
Li Liangda glared at Li Rongcheng with a reproachful gaze. Then, he said to the people in the lift, "My son was reckless. I'm really sorry about that."
There were around five people inside, and they all gave off powerful auras. When they glanced at Li Liangda and his son, a hint of contempt flashed past their eyes.
Li Liangda was a smart person. Thus, he noticed the people's reactions and felt humiliated in his heart. He even felt hatred. However, he didn't dare to reveal anything.
"Misters and miss, we will wait for the next lift." He smiled awkwardly.
After the lift door closed, Li Rongcheng's expression turned ugly. He felt disgraceful as he asked, "Dad, why do we have to lower our voices and status in front of them?"
"Idiot, why can't you see who those people are? Look at their attires and temperaments. They are most likely martial warriors. How can you offend those people? Do you feel that our Li family is living too happily?" Li Liangda was suddenly a little disappointed by his son. He glanced at him and snorted.
Li Rongcheng felt a strong sense of unwillingness seeping out of his heart.
Martial warriors!
Martial warriors again!
If he passed the martial arts exam and entered a top university, he would be able to become a martial warrior soon. He wouldn't need to bend down in front of these people and speak humbly to them anymore.
It was all because of Wang Teng.
He was the one who harmed him. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have failed the martial arts exam. He wouldn't be in this state today either.
At this moment, the hatred Li Rongcheng had towards Wang Teng got deeper and stronger.
Li Liangda seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He said, "I know that you hate Wang Teng and want to take revenge. But, you need to become stronger faster."
Footsteps were heard behind him. He stopped speaking.
"Huh? Mr. Li, you came to participate in this auction too?" A slightly astounded voice was heard.
"Mr. Xie!" Li Liangda turned his head and found someone familiar. He was slightly shocked too. He smiled and said, "Yes, I brought my son out to let him experience the world. Mr. Xie, you must have laid your eyes on a certain auction product, so you came to bid for it, right?"
Xie Kun felt a vague sense of superiority when he noticed Li Liangda flattering him. He laughed and replied, "That's right. I wanted to forge a weapon and saw a suitable item at the auction. Hence, I came to take a look."
Xie Kun was delighted. Before he became a martial warrior, he could only look up to and admire these wealthy people. However, ever since he became a martial warrior, those wealthy people didn't dare to offend him anymore. Sometimes, when they needed to ask him for help, they would fawn upon and flatter him in every way they could. They also needed to spend a considerable sum of money if they wanted his help.
Mr. Li was an example. In the past, to get rid of some trouble, he promised to give him ten million and even begged him before he finally agreed to help.
You might be wealthy, but you needed to bow down in front of a powerful and capable martial warrior.
Of course, if you were really wealthy, you would be able to invite a stronger martial warrior. You wouldn't need to treat low-rank martial warriors like this.
But, in the end, they still had to rely on martial warriors.
Martial warriors were slowly becoming the mainstream in this era.

The lift came. Li Liangda, Li Rongcheng, and Xie Kun entered it together.
Li Rongcheng looked at Li Liangda's attitude towards Xie Kun and felt humiliated and frustrated. At the same time, a strong sense of jealousy arose in him.
This was a martial warrior!
He must become a martial warrior.
Xie Kun noticed the change of expression on his face and smiled unconsciously. In the past, this was how he felt too.
"Mr. Li, is this your son?"
"Yes, it's my son," Li Liangda replied.
"Looking at his age, he is probably going to take the university entrance exam soon, right? Did he take it this year, or is he going to participate next year? Does he plan to take the martial arts exam?" Xie Kun asked.
"My son is already an advanced stage martial disciple. He took the martial arts exam this year and had hopes of entering a top university. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave the actual combat assessment because of the despicable act of another student. Now, he can only repeat his year and wait for the exam next year," Li Liangda sighed and replied.
"An advanced stage martial disciple! Your son is very talented," Xie Kun praised. Then, he frowned and continued, "Which student is so evil to kick your son out of the actual combat assessment? The grudge is formed."
"You're right. This is the first time I saw such an evil student. Yet, he still managed to become the top scholar of the martial arts exam this year," Li Liangda said with disdain.
"The top scholar of the martial arts exam? Is that… Wang Teng?" Xie Kun frowned. How could the top scholar have such a flawed character?
"That's right, it's him. He came to the auction today too. We just met him at the entrance. I know his father, so by right, even if there are some grudges between the younger generations, he should greet me as his Uncle Li since I'm his elder. However, he looked at me with contempt and left without even greeting me." Li Liangda shook his head and looked as though he was disappointed by the character of the younger generations nowadays.
"Hmph, I've seen many newbies like him. They feel arrogant just because they become a martial warrior. They have not experienced the cruelty of society, so they don't know how ruthless the martial warriors' circle is. Since he's able to become a martial warrior, he must be talented. However, talent doesn't mean that he will have a successful future. I've seen a genius from the Xingwu Continent in the past. He also became a martial warrior at a young age. What do you think happened to him?" Xie Kun scorned.
"What happened?" Li Rongcheng couldn't help but ask.
"He died. He got killed by a 2-star martial warrior. That's why ability is the most important thing for a martial warrior. Your talent is only your talent if you are able to change it into your ability," Xie Kun gave his advice as an experienced senior.
"Mr. Xie, you're right. Someone like him who doesn't know how to restrain himself will suffer sooner or later. He might not even know who killed him at that time." Li Liangda nodded in agreement.
"That's right. He's that kind of person. Once you see him, you'll dislike him too," Li Rongcheng agreed.
As the three of them chatted, they arrived at the auction hall on the eighth floor.
The Sky auction hall was huge and spacious. In the middle, there was a circle of tables and chairs. These were the seats of ordinary bidders.
Besides the auction stage right at the front, the other sides were filled with VIP rooms. There were two levels. Only highly respected figures had the right to use these rooms.
Wang Teng was already in the auction hall. He was searching for Lin Zhan and his teammates, but they didn't seem to be here yet.
He was bored, so he found a seat and sat down. He was enjoying some tea and pastries as he waited for them to come.
When this scene landed in the eyes of other people, they found it a little unconventional.
The people in the hall were either restraining themselves so that they wouldn't do things that lowered their status or flipping the auction booklet seriously. They didn't see what Wang Teng was doing.
There was no one else acting like Wang Teng.
"Little Teng Teng!"
Suddenly, a familiar but unfamiliar voice rang beside his ear. It gave Wang Teng a huge scare.
This address!
This voice!
F*k, it's that female devil Xu Hui!
Why is she here?
Wang Teng almost spat out the mouthful of tea he just drank. All kinds of thoughts flashed past his mind in an instant.
He turned and saw the figure that was like a nightmare to him.
At the same time, there were a few people following her at the side. Wang Teng didn't recognize any of them.
"Why are you here?" Wang Teng asked as though he had seen a ghost.
"That's just what I wanted to ask." Xu Hui walked over and glared at him with her hands on her waist.
"I asked my younger brother to look for you, but you went hiding somewhere. You didn't even reply to my message. What is it? Have you become arrogant just because you were the top scholar of the martial arts exam?"
Wang Teng looked at the beauty in front of him, who was glaring at him with her hands on her waist. A sense of familiarity rose to his heart.
The same ponytail, the same slender and tall figure, the same bad temper…
However, in this sense of familiarity, there was a slight hint of unfamiliarity too.
At this moment, she was wearing a battle uniform with a sword hanging on her waist. She looked handsome and valiant. There was a different aura on her.
He had never seen this attire on her before in his past life.
"I've been busy recently. In fact, I just came back. Did you send me a message? My phone was off, so I didn't see it," Wang Teng felt his head hurting as he spouted nonsense.
"Hmph, do you know how you look when you're lying?" Xu Hui scoffed.
"I'm a decent person. I never lie," proclaimed Wang Teng.
"I only left for a short time, but you've already become so naughty. I'll settle this with you when we return. I'm too lazy to bullshit with you now. Tell me, why did you come here today?" Xu Hui rolled her eyes and asked him again.
I'll leave immediately after the auction ends later. Do you think I will stay here stupidly to wait for you to find me? Wang Teng thought to himself secretly.
"I just came to take a look and broaden my horizons." He found a random excuse. Then, he asked, "What about you?"
"I also came to take a look with my seniors." Xu Hui finally remembered to introduce the people beside her.
"These are my seniors from Jiangnan University. You can greet them like how I greet them."
"Xu Hui, is this the top scholar of the Donghai martial arts exam that you've been talking about recently?" a pretty lady beside Xu Hui asked.
"That's right, Senior Sister. He's my younger brother's friend, and I grew up with him. I got a huge shock when I heard that he actually became the top scholar of the martial arts exam," Xu Hui smiled and replied to the lady.
"Childhood friends!" Pan Danwen teased her.
Hearing this sentence, the man behind Xu Hui frowned.

"He's just a kid. How can he be my childhood friend? He's at most a boot licker." Xu Hui was too proud to admit it.
Wang Teng was speechless. F*k, I'm not a kid!
"Haha, since you're Xu Hui's friend, you're our friend too." The man behind Xu Hui walked out. He pretended to be magnanimous as he spoke to Wang Teng. "Little Brother Wang Teng, there are many important people here today. Why don't you follow us? It will be troublesome if you provoke some respectable figure."
Wang Teng didn't know what to say when he heard this.
It was alright when Xu Hui called him a kid. After all, they were close to each other.
But, he didn't know this young man at all.
Yet, he called him a little brother. When am I your little brother? You are the little brother. Your entire family is little brothers.
Where did this person come from?

Chapter 130: Who On Earth Are You?
The man in front of him was tall and bulky. He was quite handsome and had a bright smile on his face.
But, people with a little more life experience would be able to see that the smile was a little fake.
The drinker's heart is not in the cup!
Before this, these two had no interaction at all. The only link between them was Xu Hui.
Wang Teng shook his head speechlessly.
This female devil Xu Hui came to find him for trouble the moment she came back.
"There's no need for that. I'm waiting for my friends," Wang Teng said.
Xie Zhilong frowned secretly. Then, he smiled and said, "You can ask your friends to come together. Y'all just graduated from high school, so you have not experienced many things. We have been in the university for a year or two. We have heard and seen more than you. If you follow us, you can gain some experience."
He didn't think much. He believed that Wang Teng's friends must be his peers, so they were just senior high graduates.
They probably felt that they were exceptional because they had just passed the martial arts exam. Youth knew no fear!
As their senior brother, Xie Zhilong felt that he needed to educate them properly from the perspective of an elder.
Pan Danwen and Xu Hui's other seniors silently agreed with his words. They had been through this stage before. They knew better than anyone how they felt when they just graduated from high school. Honestly, they were a little proud at that time. They only learned the immensity of the universe after they entered university.
Wang Teng was Xu Hui's friend, so they agreed with Xie Zhilong's suggestion. If they could bring him along, they should. This would prevent him from creating trouble.
"Little Brother Wang Teng, I'm Xu Hui's senior sister, Pan Danwen. You can follow us later. We can take care of each other that way. You don't have to feel shy about it." Pan Danwen was more tactful with her words. Besides, she was as pretty as a flower. When she opened her mouth, it felt as though a breeze blew past their faces.
Wang Teng said helplessly, "Senior Sister Pan, I'm not shy. I'm really waiting for my friends. I can't make decisions for them."
"Why are you rejecting us? It seems like you look down on us. Forget it. Let's not ask for a snub," Xie Zhilong said as if he was mocking himself.
As expected, the other senior brothers and sisters frowned when they heard this. They were unhappy.
This Wang Teng was really insensible!
Did he think that he could be haughty just because he was the top scholar of the martial arts exam?
"Wang Teng, are you stupid? We're asking you to follow us for your own good. Why are you so stubborn?" Xu Hui was a little angry as she complained.
Wang Teng squinted slightly. He ignored Xu Hui and just smiled ambiguously at Xie Zhilong.
Xie Zhiling felt chills running down his spine. Somehow, he felt as though he got targeted by a wild beast. Fear crept up his heart.
Did he get scared by a high school graduate?
He hurriedly shook his head and felt a little angry from embarrassment. Just when he was about to flare up, he heard a voice behind him.
"Zhilong?"
Xie Zhilong turned his head and smiled brightly. He called out to the man, "Uncle!"
"Haha, it's really you!" Xie Kun, Li Liangda, and Li Rongcheng walked over.
When Wang Teng saw Li Liangda and Li Rongcheng, his head started hurting. All of them were gathered together again.
"Uncle, weren't you in Jiangnan? Why are you here?" Xie Zhilong asked curiously.
"I came for the auction." Xie Kun smiled. Then, he turned to look at Pan Danwen and the others beside Xie Zhilong. He said, "Are these your classmates?"
"Yes, they are all my schoolmates from Jiangnan University. However, this person isn't. He's the top scholar of the Donghai University martial arts exam this year. He looks down on normal students like us." Xie Zhilong introduced Pan Danwen and his friends before looking at Wang Teng mockingly.
"Oh, the top scholar of the Donghai martial arts exam!" Xie Kun sized up Wang Teng. Then, he turned and asked Li Liangda, "Is this the Wang Teng you mentioned?"
"It's him." Before Li Liangda could open his mouth, Li Rongcheng had already answered hurriedly.
This martial warrior knew his father, so he would definitely stand on their side. Also, Li Rongcheng could tell that there was contempt in his tone when he talked about Wang Teng. He might be able to make Wang Teng suffer a little. Li Rongcheng was delighted to see that.
"Wang Teng, this Mr. Xie is a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. Don't think that you can be so arrogant just because you've become a martial warrior. Compared to Mr. Xie, a 1-star martial warrior is nothing. Don't be proud." Li Rongcheng was like the fox that assumed the majesty of the tiger.
"3-star soldier-level martial warrior!"
Pan Danwen and the other students looked at Xie Kun in astonishment.
"Hehe, my uncle has been a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior for many years. Normal 3-star soldier-level martial warriors can't be compared with him," Xie Zhilong boasted proudly.
"A 3-star soldier level martial warrior isn't much. There are many powerful and respectable people in this place. I'm just in the lowest rung." Xie Kun pretended to be humble. However, in his heart, he was proud and enjoyed the attention he was getting from everyone. He looked at Wang Teng calmly and asked, "I've heard about your grudge with Li Rongcheng. You used some method to force him to leave the martial arts exam because you wanted to take revenge on him. I wonder if this is true?"
Pan Danwen and the other students from Jiangnan University looked at Wang Teng in unplanned unison when they heard this. They threw him a look of contempt.
Owing to what happened just now, their impression of Wang Teng was already bad. When they heard this inside story, they detested him even more.
"That's impossible. Wang Teng is not that kind of person," Xu Hui shouted without thinking.
"Xu Hui, it's impossible to judge a man's heart from his face. How do you know that he's not that kind of person?" Xie Zhilong said.
"Li Rongcheng told you that, right?" Wang Teng glanced at everyone. He especially paused when he glanced at Xie Zhilong, Li Liangda, and Li Rongcheng before he said this.
He wasn't anxious even when he was misunderstood by other people.
"It doesn't matter who said it. You can't hide the truth. You are so young but already so evil. If you become a higher class martial warrior in the future, you will be a huge scum of society," Xie Kun placed his hands behind his back and said.
"Who are you? I don't think I know you? Even if I'm evil, what does it have to do with you? Why did you run over and say this nonsense to me? Who gave you the authority to do that?" Wang Teng looked at Xie Kun indifferently.
"You…" Xie Kun choked on his words, and his face turned green. It might be either anger or frustration.
At first, he thought that with his ability as a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior, Wang Teng wouldn't dare to talk back to him. He would definitely listen to his lecture obediently.
Unexpectedly, Wang Teng wasn't scared of offending him. The moment he opened his mouth, he didn't give him any face and humiliated him right in front of everyone.
At this moment, he really wanted to slap Wang Teng to death.
Unfortunately, this was the venue of a grand auction hosted by the Bangde Auction House. He wouldn't dare to create any trouble.
"Wang Teng, do you know that you should respect your elders? My uncle is doing this for your sake, but you just berated him. You don't deserve to be the top scholar of the martial arts exam," Xie Zhilong shouted angrily.
