Chapter 131: A Good Person Will Be Safe All His Life
"Are you questioning the authority of the martial arts exam?" Wang Teng found it a little funny.
The two people in front of him were indeed from the same family. Their attitude was exactly the same.
One of them ran over without any reason and started lecturing him without distinguishing truth and false.
The other scolded him and even dared to question the martial arts exam. Was the martial arts exam something a normal university student like him could question carelessly?
These two were both proud and obsessed with themselves.
"So what if I question it? The top scholar of the university entrance exam should be someone with good character and ability. You? What is your worth?" said Xie Zhilong with disdain.
"Enough! Xie Zhilong, you're going overboard!" Xu Hui couldn't help but stand up and came in front of Wang Teng. She never expected this meeting to end with an argument. Wang Teng was in a tricky position. He might get into big trouble because of this.
"Me? Overboard? Wang Teng humiliated my uncle just now. Isn't he the one who went too far?" Xie Zhilong got even more furious when he saw Xu Hui speaking up for Wang Teng.
"Zhilong, stop talking. There's nothing to say to an evil person like him. As for your schoolmate, you should stay away from her. Birds of a feather flock together."
Xie Kun glanced at Xu Hui. He shook his head and then said to Wang Teng, "Wang Teng, take care of yourself. I hope that you won't regret your rebuttal after you step out of this door later."
"Am I right to say that you're threatening my young teammate?"
At this moment, a fierce voice suddenly came from the crowd.
A few figures with powerful auras walked over and stopped beside Wang Teng. Lin Zhan smiled and said, "You little fellow, you were hiding her and eating food. No wonder we couldn't find you."
"You are the ones late. I couldn't wait any longer, so I sat down to eat something to pass the time," Wang Teng said with frustration.
Xie Kun's expression changed when he saw Lin Zhan and the others.
"Tiger Warrior team!
"Lin Zhan!"
"Xie Kun, hmph, we're old acquaintances. Come, tell me, were you threatening my young teammate here a moment ago?" Lin Zhan glared at Xie Kun and sneered.
"What kind of joke is this? Wang Teng is just a high school graduate. How can he be your team member? Lin Zhan, don't seek trouble out of anything. Do you think I'm scared of you?" replied Xie Kun. He appeared tough on the surface, but in his heart, he was scared.
"You better believe me. The principal of our Jixin Martial House personally placed Wang Teng in our team," Lin Zhan replied.
"The Jixin Martial House principal did it personally?" Xie Kun was flabbergasted.
Wang Teng was able to catch the attention of Jixin Martial House's principal? That meant that he wasn't someone he could touch if he wanted to.
Xie Kun felt his head spinning. Why did he offend Wang Teng? He was now caught between a rock and a hard place.
"So what? I just wanted to remind him to be a good person and don't provoke others. If he did, he'd be the one regretting it in the future." Xie Kun remained stubborn.
"Hmph, I don't think that's what you said just now." Lin Zhan scoffed.
"Wang Teng, what happened just now? Why did this old fellow come and offend you? Tell us everything. We will stand up for you." A dangerous glint appeared in Liu Yan's eyes as she patted Wang Teng's shoulder.
Wang Teng smiled and explained the happenings to them.
After hearing his story, the faces of the members of the Tiger Warrior team turned cold. They looked at Xie Kun indignantly.
"Old fellow, how dare you reprimand him before understanding the truth? I think that you're going senile because of your age," Lin Zhan said furiously.
When Xie Kun heard Wang Teng explaining the situation, he immediately had a bad premonition. He had listened to a one-sided story and believed it. He actually made such a newbie mistake.
He glared at Li Liangda and Li Rongcheng. In his heart, he hated these two people.
Li Liangda and Li Rongcheng turned pale in fright. If Lin Zhan and his team members hadn't appeared, Wang Teng wouldn't have been able to explain himself.
Even if he told the truth, Xie Kun would definitely leave the mistake uncorrected. They could just spend more money to appease Xie Kun after this issue ended.
Xie Kun would get the money and they their revenge. It was a win-win situation.
However, no one expected Wang Teng to be a member of the Tiger Warrior team. Looking at Xie Kun's expression, they knew that this team wasn't easy to deal with. The entire situation took a huge turn.
They had a taste of their own medicine!
Li Liangda felt bitter in his mouth. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have cooperated with his useless son and framed Wang Teng. They didn't know how to end this scene now.
"Lin Zhan, what happened today is my fault," Xie Kun gritted his teeth and said.
"Are you planning to end the matter with a single apology?" Lin Zhan mocked.
"What do you want?" Xie Kun was filled with frustration. However, he couldn't vent it out. He was in the wrong this time, and he couldn't beat Lin Zhan in a fight. He couldn't afford to offend the Tiger Warrior team either. It wouldn't bring him any advantages.
"Apologize. Apologize to Wang Teng," Lin Zhan said.
"You can also compensate for the damage you did to me mentally," Wang Teng interrupted.
His teammates' expressions turned strange at once.
"Cough, that's right, you need to make some mental damage compensation." Lin Zhan coughed awkwardly.
"This is an extortion!" Xie Kun glared at them with wide eyes and shouted angrily.
"You can understand it this way too," Lin Zhan nodded and agreed.
"You…" Xie Kun's face alternated between green and white. He made one final effort. "We're at the Bangde Auction House. If I don't give in to you, what can you do to me?"
"We can't do anything to you now, but it's a different story once we step outside." Lin Zhan was nonchalant.
"Fine, fine, I give in. These are 30 energy stones. This is my compensation for you." Xie Kun was trembling in anger as he threw a bag of energy stones at Wang Teng.
"This is too little, only thirty. Are 3-star martial warriors all so poor?" Wang Teng muttered.
"Too little. You need to give twen—fifty more energy stones." Lin Zhan wanted to say twenty energy stones at first, but when he saw Wang Teng raising five fingers secretly, he immediately changed his words.
"Fifty? Why don't you go and rob someone?" Xie Kun exclaimed in shock.
"I heard what you said. If we snatch from you later, it might not be fifty stones anymore," Lin Zhan replied.
Xie Kun felt the blood rising up his throat. He almost vomited a mouth of blood. He forcefully bore with it and took out another bag. After counting 50 stones with trembling hands, he passed them to Wang Teng. Then. he left without any hesitation.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would die from anger.
Of course, before he left, he didn't forget to glare at Li Liangda and his son.
This matter hadn't ended!
"Mr. Xie is really a good person. Good person, see you. A good person will be safe all his life." Wang Teng waved his hand.
Xie Kun staggered and almost fell to the ground. He instantly quickened his pace and squeezed into the crowd.
Lin Zhan and his teammates laughed uncontrollably. This brat was really evil.
"Uncle, wait for me!" Xie Zhilong didn't have the face to stay any longer. He didn't even dare to look at Wang Teng again. Instead, he chased after his uncle hurriedly.
Li Liangda and Li Rongcheng also escaped when no one was looking at them.
"This…" Xu Hui, Pan Danwen, and the other students were dumbfounded.
The story reversed too quickly. Before they could react, everything had already ended.
They never expected Wang Teng's friends to be the team members of a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior elite team. Even Xie Kun didn't dare to offend them and could only run away disheveled.
Especially Xu Hui. She felt as though this was the first time she knew Wang Teng. She sized him up repeatedly.
Changes were seen through the people around you.
Wang Teng's change was too huge.
It was already astonishing when he became the top scholar of the martial arts exam as a martial warrior. Now, he had already integrated into the martial warriors' circle at such a young age.
Even his friends were 3-star soldier-level martial warriors.
She then thought of herself. She was a university student who barely managed to become a martial warrior after she entered university. Now, she was still waiting for the school's arrangement to head to the Xingwu Continent.
On the other hand, Wang Teng had joined a martial warriors team and most likely gone to the Xingwu Continent already. He had experienced life and death struggles.
Compared to him, they were the newbies!
Pan Danwen and the other students had obviously thought about this too. They recalled what they said a while ago and felt exceptionally ashamed. It was too embarrassing!

Chapter 132: Singles Like you…
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Hui's seniors felt extremely awkward now. However, they couldn't leave directly like Xie Zhilong. It would be rude if they did that.
Fortunately, they didn't say anything overboard just now. Xie Zhilong had already offended Xu Hui, so there was no point for him to stay any longer.
"Wang Teng, I'm sorry for what happened just now."
At this moment, Pan Danwen stood out voluntarily and apologized for what happened a moment ago.
"There's no need for you to apologize. It has nothing to do with you." Wang Teng waved his hand.
"It's almost time. The auction is about to start. We'll go up first. The manager of Bangde arranged a private room for us," Lin Zhan said.
"Sure!"
Wang Teng nodded. He said to Xu Hui, "I'll go up with my teammates first. Please carry on."
Then, he smiled and chatted happily with Lin Zhan and his teammates as he walked up the second floor.
Pan Danwen and her schoolmates were shocked. Bangde Auction House actually arranged a private room for Wang Teng and his teammates.
Mind you, the auction today was a large-scale and grand one. Only the real influential and powerful figures had the right to stay in a private room.
It looked like Xu Hui's friend and his martial warrior friends had something they excelled in. If not, how could they receive such distinguished treatment?
Xu Hui bit her lips and looked at Wang Teng's back view. She felt a little depressed for some reason, as if there was an estrangement between them after she came back.
Wang Teng was pushing her away secretly.
1
Wang Teng and his teammates arrived at a small private room on the second floor. Yan Jinming leaned over and sniggered. "Little brat, your luck in ladies is not bad. That childhood friend of yours is very pretty!"
"Haha, Wang Teng is so handsome. He must have many beauties around him." Lin Zhan laughed loudly.
"Are you all envious? You won't understand it, though. This is a problem for me," Wang Teng said helplessly.
"Why are you pretending?" Lin Zhan and Yan Jinming rolled their eyes.
"Sigh, as expected. Singles like you won't understand." Wang Teng shook his head and sighed.
Singles!
Yan Jinming and Lin Zhan froze on the spot.
Their brittle hearts seemed to have received a huge stimulation.
"Pfft~ Hahaha!"
Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue couldn't control their laughter. They tittered and then burst out laughing.
The damage Yan Jinming and Lin Zhan received increased exponentially.
"You're so hurtful!" They glared at Wang Teng and gritted their teeth.
"Little Brother Wang Teng, ignore these two single men. Do you mind having a close lady friend like me?" Liu Yan pushed the two people away in disdain and winked seductively at Wang Teng.
"Sister, I surrender!" Wang Teng pretended to be frightened and raised his hands.
This time, It was Liu Yan's turn to feel frustrated. She rolled her eyes and said, "Am I so scary? Do you think I'm some dreadful monster!?"
"My mom says that beautiful women are all dangerous. I need to stay far away from them."
Liu Yan didn't know whether she should laugh or be angry when she heard Wang Teng's seemingly humble words. She complained, "Glib-tongued!"
A few minutes later, the voice of the auction's host came from below.
"Thanks, everyone, for coming today. Thank you for your trust towards our Bangde Auction House…"
It was an extremely formal opening. Then, the host went right to the main topic and started the auction.
"This is the first auction item today. It's a dan medicine made by Alchemist Sun—Three Flames Pattern Dan!"
The moment the host finished speaking, low murmurs were heard below.
"Alchemist Sun!"
"Three Flames Pattern Dan!"
"Could it be that fifth rank alchemist?"
"It must be. Which other alchemist with the surname Sun is able to make the Three Flames Pattern Dan?"
The auctioneer smiled slightly when he heard the commotion caused by the first item. He continued speaking, "Everyone guessed right. This Three Flames Pattern Dan is indeed made by the fifth-rank alchemist. As for its effects, I'm sure many people know it already, but for the sake of those who don't care much about dan medicines, let me give a short introduction."
"This Three Flames Pattern Dan is a third-rank dan medicine. It can help a fire element martial warrior to break through a 3-star or 4-star bottleneck. That means that this Three Flames Pattern Dan is highly beneficial to martial warriors who have been stuck at the 3-star soldier level for a long time and can't advance.
"This Three Flames Pattern Dan is the hardest dan medicine to make among all the third-rank spiritual dan. Only a fifth-rank alchemist like Alchemist Sun has a high probability of success when making it. Also, it's a three-pattern quality dan. Its medicinal properties are extremely good. It has been appraised by the highest rank professionals in this field, so there's definitely no problem with it. You won't have anything to worry about."
In the private room, Lin Zhan's gaze turned envious when he heard the effects of this Three Flames Pattern Dan.
"Sigh, unfortunately, it's only effective for fire element martial warriors," he said with pity.
Liu Yan noticed Wang's puzzled expression, so she explained, "Leader has been stuck at the peak of 3-star soldier level for a long time. If he can use some help from a similar spiritual dan, he will be able to advance to 4-star soon.
"Once we have a 4-star martial warrior in our team, we will be able to explore the outermost section of the middle circle of the Dark Mist Forest. Although it's more dangerous, there will be more gains. Our team can only become stronger if we have ample resources."
Wang Teng nodded. But, he heard Lin Zhan giving a forceful laugh and saying, "It's not that simple. 1-star to 3-star are all primary-rank martial warriors. 4-star to 6-star is considered middle-rank, while 7-star to 9-star are advanced-rank martial warriors. Every rank has its bottleneck. If your talent and luck aren't enough, it will be tough for you to achieve a breakthrough."
This was Wang Teng's first time hearing this. He couldn't help but think of his situation. Since he relied on collecting attributes, would he encounter this bottleneck too?
"Alright, everyone, the starting bid of the Three Flames Pattern Dan is 30 million. You can start bidding!"
The auctioneer's voice echoed in the entire venue through the speakers. After a second of silence, someone shouted a figure.
"31 million!"
"33 million!"
There were many fire element martial warriors at the scene. Whether they were at the bottleneck or not, as long as they had the money, they participated in the bidding.
The minimum markup was a million. At the start, everyone was still at the probing stage. Towards the end, the bidding got heated, and the price climbed higher and higher. Within a few seconds, it had already reached 58 million!
"There are many fire element martial warriors here today!" Yan Jinming exclaimed in the private room.
"That might not be true. These people could be buying for others," Lin Zhan said.
The bidding continued for some time. Finally, the voices grew lesser. Everyone had a price for every item. If this price was exceeded, they would feel that it wasn't worth it anymore.
"76 million!"
"76 million!"
"Are there any more bidders? No one… final call, are there any more bidders? Okay, 76 million! The Three Flames Pattern Dan belongs to this gentleman!"
The auctioneer shouted three times at the end, but no one made a bid. Then, he knocked his hammer, and the Three Flames Pattern Dan landed in the hands of a middle-aged gentleman.
It was so easy to make money with spiritual dan. One small spiritual dan cost 76 million. Alchemists must all be wealthy people.
Wang Teng couldn't help but remember the smithery skill he had picked up from Lu Zisheng. Was he able to pick up alchemy too?
And if he could?
After his alchemy skill hit a certain level, he would make thousands of spiritual dan. He wouldn't have to worry about money anymore!
"Next, the second item is…"
The auction continued. Wang Teng and his teammates didn't participate in the auction. The first item was already sold at 76 million. It was easy to imagine how expensive the items behind were.
They had some savings, but this was a grand auction. They would probably reach their limit after bidding for one or two items. Before they met an item they really liked, they wouldn't act recklessly.

Chapter 133: Accident At The Auction
The auction carried on enthusiastically, broadening Wang Teng's horizons. He saw all kinds of strange items, and the people below scrambled for them like a flock of ducks. Each bid was higher than the previous one.
He finally understood what wealth really meant. As compared to these people, he was just a poor fellow!
But, until now, none of the people in the private rooms had called a bid. The items at the front didn't seem to garner their attention.
Lin Zhan and his teammates bid a few times, but the prices shouted by the people after them scared them away…
Damn it, all of them were so vicious!
If they wanted to get an item, they would need to empty their pockets.
Before this, they still thought that they could get one or two items, but now, it seemed that they had overestimated themselves.
"There are so many rich people in the world, but I'm not one of them," Yan Jinming mocked himself as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Actually, as compared to a normal person, martial warriors like them were already extremely wealthy. However, only they knew that their money came and left twice as fast. They needed to buy weapons, scriptures, battle techniques, and many other things. All of these were really expensive, so the money only passed through their pockets and left immediately thereafter.
"It's our turn!" Lin Zhan suddenly said.
As expected, the auctioneer below said, "I'm sure that many people will be interested in the next auction item. The seller just came back with it from the Xingwu Continent and managed to catch our grand auction. Alright, I shall not tease you anymore.
"The seventh last auction item—the star bone of the 3-star wind element star beast, Single-horn Denglong!"
The moment he finished speaking, a commotion arose below.
"Star bone!"
"The seventh last item is a star bone!"
"What's more, it's the star bone of the 3-star star beast, Single-horn Denglong. That's definitely a good item. We must get it!"
"Hmph, don't even think of fighting with me! The star bone is mine!"
In an instant, the atmosphere was lit.
Even the people in the private rooms were attracted. Some were already preparing to act.
Star bones were rare, and they had all kinds of special abilities. If you could add a piece of star bone into your weapon or battle armor while forging it, it would definitely increase the quality by many folds. It would be different from a standard weapon or battle armor, too, because it had a special ability.
To a martial warrior, what was more attractive than this?
"Let's not waste any time. The starting bid of this star bone is 500 million. Each bid must be no less than 10 million. The bidding starts now!"
On the high platform, a beauty in a cheongsam carried a tray in her hand. A crystal-clear bone laid on the tray and glimmered with green rays under the lights. The patterns on its surface were enchanting, mesmerizing the people below the stage. Their gazes turned even more intense.
"550 million!" A shout was heard. The moment the bidding started, the price rose by 50 million.
Unfortunately, it was impossible to scare other bidders away with this method. Many people were determined to get this star bone.
"560 million!"
"600 million!"
Oh my god! These people are crazy! Wang Teng was astounded.
However, the crazier they were, the happier Wang Teng and his teammates were. This was all money!
"It's time for us to hit the jackpot!" Lin Zhan clenched his fist and said excitedly.
"That's right. This star bone can at least go up to 1 billion. That means that each of us here will get 150 million. This is five trips in one," Liu Yan said with delight.
The bidding war was still ongoing. The price had risen to 950 million, but the excitement of the bidders hadn't subsided at all.
"1.2 billion!"
Suddenly, a calm voice came from a private room on the left side of the second floor.
The voice had been processed, so no one knew who it was.
The bidding below instantly quietened down.
1.2 billion!
This person added 250 million in one bid. Normally, 1 billion was a segregation point. Many people would beat a retreat here. Now that the price had risen to 1.2 billion, most people didn't even bother struggling. They just gave up.
Also, everyone present knew that the people in the private rooms weren't people they could offend. If they continued bidding, they might provoke them.
Thus, these people weren't willing to do it unless extremely necessary.
"1.3 billion!"
A voice came from another private room. Another 100 million was added to the price.
The people below were dead silent. All of them shook their heads and had disappointment on their faces. They could only watch the people in the private rooms fighting now.
"1.5 billion!"
"1.6 billion!"
There was no exchange of threats, only the battle of price. The higher bidder would get the item.
Wang Teng exchanged glances with his teammates. Things were getting a little frightening. It was almost double their estimated selling price.
"2 billion!"
The person in room 8, who was the first to open his mouth and bid, seemed determined to get the star bone. He pushed the price to 2 billion in the end. The other people remained silent. No one opened their mouths again.
"2 billion. This star bone belongs to the VIP guest in room 8!" The auctioneer knocked his hammer.
The final decision was made!
Lin Zhan and his teammates let out a long breath. They had witnessed the price rising with their eyes. It was a little too exciting.
"Damn it, that person just took out 2 billion so easily. His voice didn't even change when he said that. Impressive!" Lin Zhan couldn't help but curse.
"Haha, we're rich now!" Yan Jinming was delighted.
"Split the money! Split the money!" Liu Yan's eyes were glistening brightly. She wished that she could take the money immediately and go on a shopping spree.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jinyue was the calmest. She smiled happily as she watched everyone's reaction from the side. She said to Liu Yan, "Sister Liu Yan, after the money is handed to us, let's go shopping. I haven't gone shopping in a long time."
"That's right, shopping. Let's buy some clothes and makeup. I want to splurge for once." Liu Yan nodded furiously.
Ever since she became a martial warrior, she had been sitting on the gates of hell all the time. She didn't care much about her hobbies in the past anymore. Now that Yan Jinyue mentioned it, along with the stimulation of money, she seemed to have found the feeling of shopping crazily again.
Wang Teng smiled gently. His gaze landed on the next item up for auction. The last few items were undoubtedly more precious and rarer than the previous ones.
There was full-body battle armor, an advanced-rank scripture, weapons, and extremely rare medicinal herbs and ores. The people below could only keep quiet and watch. This battle belonged to the people in the private rooms.
The gains of all the auction items today were more than 80 billion. Especially the last few items. The moment they shouted their bids, it was more than 10 billion. Terrifying!
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the last auction item. The auctioneer couldn't control the smile on his face anymore. The auction today was a great success, and the gains had exceeded his expectations. Now, it was time to take things up a notch. The auctioneer was confident of this item. The bidders would only get crazier.
"Everyone, the last item for our auction today…"
Boom!
The moment the auctioneer started speaking, a huge explosion was heard. The hall started shaking violently, and broken fragments fell from the ceiling.
"What is happening?"
The people below were in a frenzy. The martial warriors quickly stood up and became alert.
Wang Teng and his teammates' expressions changed slightly. They exchanged glances with one another and took out their weapons, staring in the direction the explosion came from.

"Long Live Zhenli!"
"It's the evil warriors from the Zhenli Clan! Be careful!"
A loud shout was heard from outside the building, the voice penetrating Bangde Auction House's building.
This must be the voice of a martial warrior!
"Activate the rune array! Hurry!"
Boom!
The moment the person said this, a loud explosion followed. The building was collapsing and shaking. Everyone in the auction hall was flabbergasted.
"It's the evil clansmen from Zhenli Clan!"
"Hurry, leave the building!"
"The building is about to collapse! The rune array of Bangde Auction House isn't able to withstand the attack."
The rune array was created by runes, and it was mainly used for defense.
Everyone rushed out of the building. Some martial warrior jumped out of the window, but cries of agony were heard directly after that.
Those that hadn't jumped felt their eyebrows trembling. They immediately changed their directions of escape. Some dashed down the building, while others ran up to the roof.
"Zhenli Clan?!" Wang Teng looked at the people running for their lives and felt a sense of seriousness. At the same time, he was puzzled.
Can anyone tell me what on earth is the Zhenli Clan?
"Let's leave quickly!" Lin Zhan's expression was stern. There was even hatred on his face as he gritted his teeth and rushed downstairs. "We will leave from the side of the building!"
Liu Yan and the other team members knew how to cooperate with each other after a long period of interaction. They followed Lin Zhan without any hesitation.
Wang Teng didn't know what was happening. However, it was an emergency, so he could only follow them without having the time to ask anything.
Many people from the private rooms around them had dashed out too. At the moment, they could care less about hiding their identities. Their expressions were cold. They hated these Zhenli clansmen.
Boom!
"Hahaha, destroy it! Kill all the stupid civilians that disobey the creed of our Zhenli Clan!" Crazy peals of laughter were heard all around them amidst the sounds of explosions.
"How dare you!"
Some powerful people from Bangde Auction House or some of the important figures that participated in the auction acted in anger.
"This bunch of maniacs!"
Lin Zhan cursed. He found a window at the corner. There were piles of rubbish below, and no one was in the surroundings.
"Let's go down from here." He took the lead and jumped down.
Liu Yan and the other team members also jumped without thinking. As 3-star soldier-level martial warriors, jumping down from the eighth floor was a piece of cake for them. Also, there were areas they could use as leverage in this steel building.
When Wang Teng jumped down, he activated his wind Force, and it formed a whirlpool around him. It slowed down the force of gravity. Wang Teng flew down in a single leap, landing lightly on the ground.
The rest of his team members were surprised. They weren't able to jump down so casually.
However, this was obviously not the time to think about this.
Just as they were preparing to leave, a few people dashed out from the corner and saw them. They shouted immediately, "Someone is trying to escape. Kill them!"
While shouting, they had already started running towards Lin Zhan and his team members. Their crazy expressions made them seem a little like mental patients.
"Everyone, looks like we can't end this peacefully!"
Lin Zhan spoke in a calm tone as he stretched his neck and raised his hand. He took his battle axes from his back and stood in front of Wang Teng and the rest of his teammates.
The others took out their weapons too. No one was afraid of a battle.
"Let's fight then!"
Liu Yan carried her heavy machine gun on her shoulder and spoke in an indifferent tone. She looked heroic.
Wang Teng shook his head. He wondered if his luck was a little too bad, as he always met all sorts of trouble for no reason. He slowly wore his boxing gloves and took out his battle sword…
When they saw Lin Zhan and his teammates standing in front of them without any intention of hiding, the people from Zhenli Clan immediately gave a sinister look.
"Stupid people, all of you deserve to die!"
The person in front held his battle blade and congregated a ray of fiery-red glow around it. He raised his blade towards the sky and slashed it at Lin Zhan.
"Disperse!"
Lin Zhan shouted. He crossed his battle axes, and a golden glow exploded from them. He blocked this fierce blade attack.
Clang!
"Your strength is not bad, but it's not enough!"
A smile of contempt appeared at the corner of Lin Zhan's mouth. He stomped his feet on the ground and released a bolt of powerful energy. The ground below cracked, and he sprung towards his enemy.
The person opposite him got angered by his attitude. The crazy look in his eyes got stronger as he smiled like a maniac and said, "Come and test my power then!
Liu Yan, Yan Jinming, and the rest of the team had already spread out. They were fighting with the other clansmen of the Zhenli Clan.
"Wang Teng, cover me!"
Liu Yan swept her enemies with the heavy machine gun in her hand. Force was attached to every single alloy bullet as they poured out of the muzzle. The speed was frightening. The bullets seemed to have torn the air before appearing in front of her enemies.
The horse-faced young man opposite them had a change of expression. He moved his body and evaded the trajectory of the bullets beforehand. Then, he dashed towards Liu Yan.
He wasn't stupid. He knew that Liu Yan was a big threat, so he needed to take care of her first.
But, Wang Teng wouldn't just stand still and not do anything. He shifted his body and blocked the horse-faced young man.
"Die!" The horse-faced young man glared at him with a vicious expression. He slashed the battle sword in his hand at Wang Teng.
A blue glimmer flashed across the sword's sharp blade. The other party directly employed his battle technique. The sword flew towards Wang Teng like a huge wave with a terrifying pressure.
Wang Teng's expression changed. Force surged out of his body.
He didn't have the time or effort to hide his skills anymore. He used his most powerful fire Force directly.
Fire Kirin Sword Skill!
Boom!
The two Forces collided head-on.
Wang Teng had just become a 2-star martial warrior, so his fire Force was nothing to the person in front of him. He was sent flying by the impact.
3-star soldier level!
Blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth. Wang Teng's expression changed slightly.
Just one exchange, and he was defeated. There was one level difference between them, yet it was a one-sided match.
"You're just a 2-star martial warrior. Who gave you the courage!" The horse-faced young man scoffed. Just as he was about to follow up his victory with another attack, the sound of bullets tearing through the air was heard again.
Bang, bang, bang!
The horse-faced young man could only evade. He gritted his teeth, and his speed increased exponentially as he charged towards Liu Yan.
"Your opponent is me!" Wang Teng blocked him again.
"You're overestimating yourself. Get out of the way!" Anger flashed on the horse-faced young man's face. He was really infuriated by this 2-star soldier-level martial warrior. Wang Teng stuck to him like a plaster, refusing to let go.
He waved his battle sword, and rays and rays of sword light engulfed Wang Teng. This time, Wang Teng didn't receive the attack forcefully. Instead, he activated his footwork and dodged them one by one.
"How is that possible?"
THe horse-face young man was dumbfounded. This 2-star martial warrior was actually able to evade all his attacks.
This little brat must have a certain footwork skill. However, with his ability, he won't be able to continue this for long. He might be able to evade ten moves, but I don't believe that he can avoid 20 or 30 attacks. The horse-faced young man was ruthless. The speed of his right hand exploded as he waved his battle sword. He slashed and chopped everywhere.
His speed was definitely impressive.
Wang Teng was a little tired from dealing with the attacks. Actually, just using his basic footwork, he wouldn't be able to dodge the attacks from a 3-star martial warrior. However, he had picked up the Steps of Gale in the past. The combination effects of this skill with the wind Force were terrific. That was why he was barely able to withstand the attacks of this 3-star martial warrior.
Also, he had spiritual power. When he couldn't evade the attack, he would use his spiritual power as a pushing force and help him to dodge the attack.
If it was another 2-star martial warrior, he would probably have been killed by now.
Even so, he was still in danger. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead as he shouted, "Sister, if you don't hurry up, you can only wait to collect my corpse!"

Chapter 135: Good Old Wang Who Couldn't Bear To Kill A Chicken
Liu Yan stared at the horse-face young man without blinking. She occasionally pulled the trigger, and an alloy bullet with a fiery-red tail would shoot out.
Unfortunately, Wang Teng was fighting with the other party, so their positions kept changing. It was hard to predict their movements.
Wang Teng quickly realized this point. This time, while dodging, he purposely moved away from his opponent.
Liu Yan instantly grabbed this opportunity and fired a single shot.
Bang!
The evil clansman couldn't evade in time. A bloody flower bloomed on his thigh.
"Ah!"
The martial warrior's body might be strong, but this bullet had heavily injured his thigh. He couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"I want you to die!"
He had gone a little mad. At the brink of death, he pounced towards Wang Teng and attempted to kill this irritating little brat first.
"Be careful!" Liu Yan's expression changed slightly as she reminded him.
Bang, bang, bang!
She fired a few shots at the same time to prevent the other party from moving.
"F*k, do you think I'm made of mud?" Wang Teng glared at him. He didn't retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, and fire Force poured out of his body. It formed a sword glow as he slashed it out.
No one noticed a hint of sinister black mist merging in this fiery-red sword glow.
The horse-faced young man's expression was distorted, and he hurriedly raised his sword. The light on the sword glimmered. In his final moments, he released his entire power as a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior.
No matter what, there was a difference between their strengths. When their swords collided, Wang Teng was forced to take a few steps back again.
This time, he was prepared. He used his spiritual power to form a pushing force behind him and cushioned his body.
The horse-faced young man wanted to attack again, but his body suddenly froze in mid-air. His expression changed entirely.
"You… used poison!"
The horse-faced young man shouted, and the Force around his body started flashing. He wanted to expel the poison.
However, the poison seemed to have stuck to his bone. It was hard to disperse it. Instead, it started to corrode his Force. The circulation of the Force slowed down because of this, and he was unable to move.
The poison of the Demon Lotus Poison Body was so frightening!
"Kill!"
Wang Teng saw this opportunity and immediately charged towards his opponent.
The horse-faced young man got frightened. He wanted to retreat, but under the influence of the intense poison, his actions slowed down by half a beat…
Slash!
The sword directly slashed across his chest and almost chopped him in half. The horse-faced young man opened his eyes wide. It was obvious that he couldn't live anymore.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Liu Yan was dumbstruck.
She even forgot to pull the trigger!
The horse-face evil clansman, the 3-star soldier-level martial warrior, was killed by Wang Teng!
Wasn't he at a disadvantage all this while? Why did he suddenly become so powerful?
Was this child pretending to be weak all along?
"You're really vicious!" Liu Yan came forward and looked at the chest of the horse-face young man that was cut open. She was slightly shocked.
"I don't want to do it, either. I, Wang Teng, am a kind-hearted person. Normally, I can't even bear to kill a chicken. Other people even gave me a nickname—Good Old Wang who couldn't bear to kill a chicken!" Wang Teng had an amiable expression as he said sincerely, "Can you please believe me?"
Good Old Wang who couldn't bear to kill a chicken?
Liu Yan gave a strange expression.
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"Sigh, I want to be kind, but the situation doesn't allow me to!" Wang Teng heaved a long sigh.
Liu Yan: …
"Huh, why is his face so black?" Liu Yan suddenly saw the face of the horse-face evil clansman. Then, she remembered his shout just now and asked in surprise, "You know how to use poison?"
"Hehe, I know a thing or two." Wang Teng smiled shyly.
"You sinister little fellow!" Liu Yan had a weird expression on her face. She immediately took two steps back, afraid that Wang Teng would suddenly launch an attack on her.
"Hey, I only used it because I needed to kill my enemy. Why are you giving me that look?" Wang Teng asked.
"Hehe, I'll go and help our leader. You can rest here for a moment." Liu Yan ran away immediately.
Wang Teng shook his head helplessly. His gaze landed on the attribute bubbles beside the horse-faced young man. He picked them up.
Strength*20
Speed*15
Water Force*12
Intermediate Stage Water Talent*2
Folding Waves Sword Skill*1
"F*k!"
Looking back at the life-threatening situation just now… Everything was worth it!
His strength and speed attributes had increased once again. In fact, they had been increasing continuously.
Of course, the most important thing was… the intermediate stage water talent!
With this talent, Wang Teng was finally able to use his water Force.
Also, his water Force jumped by 12 points. Now, he had 33 points of the water Force. His battle ability got stronger again.
He even received a dark-level middle-class sword skill—Folding Waves Sword Skill!
That was right. The folding waves sword skill was a dark-level sword skill!
Another dark-level sword skill! What a huge gain for Wang Teng!
He didn't make any loss this time!
The only unfortunate thing was, this fellow didn't drop any water element scriptures!
Wang Teng gave a bitter smile.
He was a little greedy and unsatisfied. He already had an abundance of gains, but he still wanted another scripture. Seriously!
He shook his head. His gaze shifted to Lin Zhan and his other teammates. They were having a team battle!
After the horse-faced evil clansman was killed, the battle power of both parties changed. Lin Zhan and others killed the other evil clansmen really quickly.
During this period, loud explosions kept ringing in the sky. It seemed that some people were having another battle.
But, Wang Teng and his teammates couldn't see it from their location.
"Looking at this commotion, Zhenli Clan must have activated their 7-star soldier-level martial warrior. We should leave quickly," Lin Zhan said with a serious expression.
Everyone nodded. They prepared to leave from the small alley at the side.
Wang Teng scanned his surroundings. He activated his spiritual power and collected all the attribute bubbles dropped by the dead evil clansmen as well as his teammates when they were fighting.
Fire Force*15
Earth Force*10
Intermediate stage Fire Talent*1
Metal Force*12
Wood Force*13
Water Force*8
Strength*40
Speed*32
Enlightenment*10
Intermediate stage fire talent!
Another intermediate stage talent!
Wang Teng was beyond elated. Not only was it an intermediate stage fire talent, but it was also a fire element one.
Mind you, the higher the talent, the stronger and better his control of his Force.
Now, his fire Force had reached 2-star, and its size was growing. It was getting increasingly solidified too. If he didn't raise his talent in time, it would be harder to control his Force in the future.
The rest of the bubbles were Forces, speed, and strength.
Wang Teng felt that his battle power had increased exponentially all of a sudden.
It felt good!
The feeling of becoming stronger was too good!
Finally, it was his enlightenment. After the evil clansmen were killed, they dropped 10 points of enlightenment attribute.
Wang Teng's enlightenment had reached the spiritual realm stage, so normal enlightenment attributes could only increase his spiritual realm by a 10:1 ratio.
10 points of normal enlightenment meant 1 point of spiritual realm enlightenment.
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (1/100)
Suddenly, his mind cleared, and all kinds of knowledge flashed through his mind.
He found that he was able to practice the scriptures and battle techniques much faster ever since his enlightenment entered the spiritual realm stage.
He didn't even need to rely on his blank attributes. Instead, he was able to increase the proficiency of his battle techniques and scriptures quickly by himself.
Wang Teng understood the importance of enlightenment. If he was able to push his enlightenment to an extremely high stage, he might be able to cultivate a battle technique or a scripture until big achievement, or even perfected state! That would be heaven-defying!

Chapter 136: The Motive Of Zhenli Clan
"No!" An unwilling voice of someone at the brink of death echoed in the sky.
Boom!
At the same time, a series of explosions were heard abruptly.
"What happened?" Lin Zhan and his team members were preparing to retreat. They looked up at the sky with changed expressions.
"Hahaha…"
"Die. Everyone dies!"
"Long live Zhenli!"
Crazy voices surrounded them.
"Mr. Wu… Mr. Wu is dead!"
"Hurry up and leave. Even the 6-star Mr. Wu is dead. We are not their match…"
Frantic voices sounded after that.
"A powerful martial warrior is dead!" Lin Zhan exchanged glances with his teammates. They finally knew what happened.
"Let's leave!"
They immediately started running without any hesitation. However, some people escaped in their direction at this moment!
The evil clansmen from Zhenli Clan were on these people's tails. The scene was a mess.
"Damn it!" Lin Zhan's expression changed. They had just taken care of a bunch of evil clansmen, and now, another bunch came. They were so unlucky.
"No, don't kill me!"
Cries of despair rang everywhere. The evil fanatics of the Zhenli Clan had no compassion at all. It seemed that they had come here today to kill. They raised their blades and chopped the head of a youth who had fallen.
"It's Xu Hui and her friends!" Wang Teng turned around. When he glanced at the people behind them, he found them a little familiar. However, upon seeing Xu Hui, he remembered that these were her senior brothers and sisters.
They were in a disheveled state. They didn't have the arrogant expressions like they were the favored child of God anymore.
Especially after the senior brother's head got chopped off, the other people turned pale with fright. They shivered uncontrollably, and some even froze on the spot in shock.
These students were martial warriors groomed by their universities. How could they be so weak?
Fortunately, not everyone was useless.
Two people beside Pang Danwen raised their weapons and started resisting. However, their abilities were lacking, and they didn't have much experience. They were forced to keep retreating by the evil clansmen.
Xu Hui just became a martial warrior. She hadn't even learned any battle techniques, so she could only use her basic sword skill to fight with her enemies. She was not their match at all.
"Die!" An evil clansman raised his blade and knocked Xu Hui's battle sword away. The power of his attack didn't subside as he slashed his sword down on her head.
This was the first time Xu Hui was facing a life or death situation. The sharp blade kept expanding in her pupils, and she completely forgot to dodge.
Actually, it was too late to dodge.
The fear at the brink of death was too powerful!
At this moment, fear, unwillingness, regret, all kinds of emotions pervaded her heart.
Am I going to die?
I'm still so young.
This is so frightening. The feeling of death is terrifying!
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind.
"Go away!"
Suddenly, a cold shout broke her despairing thoughts.
A sword light flashed past right beside her body. It was aimed at the Zhenli Clan evil clansman in front of her.
That evil clansman's expression changed. He wanted to defend himself, but it was too late.
Slash!
His head was chopped off in a single attack!
His body froze on the spot as his head flew up. Fresh blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain. Then, he fell weakly.
An eye for an eye!
Just now, this evil clansman had chopped off the head of Xu Hui's senior brother. Now, he got his head chopped off too.
This was how karma worked!
Xu Hui looked at the red glimmer flashing past her eyes. Blood splattered on her face, which turned extremely white. She couldn't help but retch.
"Why are you stoning? Hurry up and run!"
A familiar voice sounded beside her ears. Then, she felt someone pulling her body and running forward.
"Wang Teng!"
Xu Hui was flabbergasted when she saw the figure in front of her. Wang Teng was the person who had saved her just now.
This ability!
Even Senior Sister Pang Danwen couldn't be compared to him, right?
When did Wang Teng become so powerful?
Xu Hui was confused, but she knew that this wasn't the time to dwell on wandering thoughts. She hurriedly followed Wang Teng.
The evil clansmen attacking Pang Danwen and the other students started charging towards him once they saw Wang Teng kill their comrade.
"F*k!"
Wang Teng cursed. He pushed Xu Hui forward.
"Leave first."
"No way, I can't leave you behind," Xu Hui replied without thinking.
"Why do you want to stay back? To drag me down?" Wang Teng said without any mercy. Then, he ignored her and started fighting with the evil clansmen.
Lin Zhan and his team members came to help him when they saw him getting surrounded.
"Senior sister, the evil clansmen are attracted by him. Let's leave quickly," the students beside Pang Danwen said hurriedly when the pressure around them vanished.
"No, they got surrounded because they are trying to help us. We can't abandon them," Pang Danwen said sternly.
"We can't beat these evil clansmen. Wang Teng and his friends are so powerful. We will just drag them down," someone said cowardly.
"I don't care. I'm not going. If you want to go, you can. I'll leave first."
One of the students left without any hesitation. Pang Danwen and Xu Hui were so angry that they were trembling. They finally saw the true face of their friends.
The people who remained hesitated for a moment before joining Pang Danwen in the fight. However, they had obviously underestimated the battle ability of Lin Zhan and his team members. Within a few seconds, these evil clansmen, who were not so powerful, got killed.
"Let's go. Let's not waste any more time," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng glanced at Pang Danwen and her friends and nodded. He said, "Let's go."
The few of them went off in a hurry. They finally left this messy street.
Unfortunately, they met the students who ran away just now. These people looked at them awkwardly before turning around and leaving quickly.
Pang Danwen shook her head and sighed.
"You should leave. My teammates and I have some things to do, so we won't be accompanying you," Wang Teng said to Xu Hui.
"Alright, be careful." Xu Hui opened her mouth, but this was all she could say.
"Thank you for saving us just now." Pang Danwen thanked Wang Teng and his friends. She was really grateful.
After parting with Xu Hui and her friends, Wang Teng and his teammates went to another high-rise building a distance away from Bangde Auction House. They then looked back in that direction from the roof.
"This time, Bangde Auction House suffered a huge loss!" Lin Zhan sighed.
"Fortunately, our star bone is already sold. To prevent accidents from happening, the auction house will pay and give the item on the spot, so the money is already in our hands. If not, we would have to bear an immense loss too," said Liu Yan.
"Who are these people from the Zhenli Clan?" Wang Teng asked.
"A crazy bunch who claim they have gotten hold of Zhenli (which means the truth). They feel that other people are just stupid and ignorant." Yan Jinming sneered.
"The people who founded Zhenli Clan had evil intentions from the start. They wanted to invade and enslave the Xingwu Continent. They control their clansmen with their creed and brainwash them so that they can order them around," Liu Yan added.
"Invade and enslave the Xingwu Continent?" Wang Teng was stunned by the grand motive of these fanatics.
"It's unbelievable, right? That's why they are a bunch of maniacs," Lin Zhan said with contempt.
"They… what on earth are they thinking?" Wang Teng found it hard to understand.
"What else? They feel that there is an abundance of resources in the Xingwu Continent. They want to use this method to expand their influence to the Xingwu Continent and plunder their resources. However, they should use their brains and think. If it was so simple, why would the countries maintain a peaceful relationship with the Xingwu Continent? After all, these countries are always very aggressive," Lin Zhan said.

Chapter 137: The Bubbles Of A 7-star Martial Warrior
While speaking, they were observing the situation of Bangde Auction House too.
With the help of Lin Zhan and his teammates, Wang Teng finally understood what kind of people the Zhenli Clan was made up of.
No wonder they were called maniacs!
Based on their actions, calling them maniacs was too kind.
The building they were at had a wide field of vision, so they were able to see far ahead.
From here, when Wang Teng gazed in the distance, he was able to see a few black dots occasionally colliding in the sky with his eyesight. Rumbling explosions followed in the air.
They were walking in the air!
7-star soldier-level martial warrior!
When a martial warrior cultivated until the 5-star soldier level, they were able to congregate their Force into a pair of wings behind their backs. It allowed them to fly freely in the air.
6-star soldier-level martial warriors could do this too.
As for 7-star martial warriors, they were able to directly walk in the air. They didn't need to rely on their Force wings anymore.
Those black dots fighting in mid-air must be 7-star martial warriors.
The battle lasted for more than half an hour. The other powerful warriors from Donghai arrived and finally killed the martial warriors from the Zhenli Clan.
The remaining evil clansmen either got caught or escaped in disorder. No one knew which corner they were hiding in.
This bunch of people was like the mice in the trench. When you wanted to find them, they were nowhere to be seen. However, they would always run out and wreak havoc from time to time. It was frustrating.
Unfortunately, the attribute bubbles from the 6-star martial warrior had probably disappeared by now. Such a long time had passed. Wang Teng sighed in pity. Then, his eyes lit up.
The attribute bubbles that the dead Zhenli clansmen dropped must still be there.
If he rushed over now, he might be able to pick them up in time.
However, Lin Zhan and the other team members didn't want to interfere in this matter. The evil clansmen from the Zhenli Clan might be hiding among the crowd. If they were seen by them, based on these people's crazy logic, the trouble they faced would be a calamity.
"Don't interfere in this matter. In fact, don't even have any interaction with this kind of evil clan. If not, it will be extremely troublesome and your families will be affected. They have no bottom line," Lin Zhan reminded them.
"Don't worry, leader. I won't poke my head in their matter," Wang Teng nodded and said.
"Alright, the show is finished. Let's go back. All of us got hurt during this trip to the Xingwu Continent, and it got worse after the battle just now. Damn it, this stupid bunch of evil clansmen. Go back and rest for some time. I'll inform everyone about the next trip to the Xingwu Continent." Lin Zhan touched his chest in frustration as he cursed uncontrollably. He felt hatred and helplessness towards these evil clansmen.
"I will transfer the money we earned from the star bone to your accounts later. Besides healing your injuries, remember to cultivate and become stronger. Don't spend the money on useless things, especially you, Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue. You can shop, but don't overdo it."
He persuaded the two ladies earnestly.
"Hmph, I know. What a naggy man!" Liu Yan and Yan Jinyue rolled their eyes and snorted.
Yan Jinming laughed loudly.
Wang Teng also gave a smile secretly. He didn't expect the rough-looking Lin Zhan to have this side to him.
Everyone bade farewell to one another and left.
Wang Teng thought for a moment and still decided to head to the Bangde Auction House.
The attribute bubbles of 7-star soldier-level martial warriors were hard to come by. He mustn't miss this chance!
However, he bought a hat and a mask on his way there and concealed his face thoroughly before rushing to the auction house at the fastest speed.
He didn't get too close. Instead, he maintained the furthest distance he could while still being able to use his spiritual power.
He wasn't able to enter the vicinity of the auction house. After such a huge incident, the police, military, and many different factions had sealed off the crime scene.
While Wang Teng was sauntering around the area, he met a few suspicious people.
"Brother, which branch are you from?" a man who was also wearing a hat and a mask walked over and spoke to him in a low voice.
Although Wang Teng was shocked, his mind spun furiously. He immediately glared at the person and said in a cold voice, "Which branch are you from? Do you know the rules? How dare you ask this question?"
"Yes, yes, I was too reckless. I just entered the clan and have yet to learn the rules." The man laughed awkwardly.
What kind of luck was this? He really met an evil clansman.
"Alright, let's just carry on with our own business. Both of us are dressed like this. Don't you think that it's a little too conspicuous?" Wang Teng barked.
"As expected of a senior clansman. You are so thoughtful. I'll be leaving first. See you at the abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs at 8pm." The man disappeared without a trace after he finished speaking.
Wang Teng: …
The abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs!
8 pm!
He seemed to have gotten hold of the evil clansmen's gathering location and time accidentally. What should he do?
This is very urgent! I need an answer immediately.
However, this was obviously not the time to think about this. He already got delayed by that person, so he had no time to waste anymore. He hurriedly looked for his attribute bubbles.
Wang Teng circled the surroundings of the auction house and saw a few huge attribute bubbles just as he had expected.
It's so huge!
It must be the attribute bubbles of a powerful martial warrior. This is amazing!
Wang Teng was elated. He immediately used his spiritual power to pull the bubbles over and picked them up.
Advanced Stage Sword Skill Talent*1
Advanced stage sword skill talent!
Wang Teng was ecstatic. It was an advanced stage talent!
Talent was vital in martial arts cultivation. The higher the talent, the faster the cultivation speed would be. This was common knowledge.
With this advanced stage sword skill talent, Wang Teng would be able to grasp all kinds of sword battle techniques faster.
Also, with his spiritual realm enlightenment, the effects of his cultivation would be impressive.
He would try it out once he got to his house.
Sky Cremating Sword Skill*15
An elite-class earth-rank sword skill!!
Wang Teng was stunned. It was an earth-rank sword skill. Was he dreaming?
He didn't have the time to think too much, though. A human figure appeared in his mind, and he started practicing the Sky Cremating Sword Skill.
There seemed to be a roaring flame spurting into the sky in Wang Teng's mind. One attack of the sword, and it was able to cremate the sky and boil the sea. The power was terrifying!
After some time, Wang Teng regained his senses.
Oh my god!
This earth-rank elite-class sword skill had 13 stances, and it was only one step away from a sky-rank battle technique. If he fully grasped the most powerful stance, the effects would be equivalent to a sky-rank battle technique.
Even the first stance was able to unleash the power similar to that of a dark-level low-class battle technique!
This was a huge gain!
It was definitely a huge gain!
He felt fortunate that he decided to come. If he missed these attribute bubbles, it wouldn't just be losing a few hundred million. He would be losing a few billion!
As expected, the attribute bubbles dropped by powerful martial warriors were good stuff.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Wang Teng felt lucky. He continued to pick up the remaining attribute bubbles.
However, only Force, strength, and speed attributes were left.
Fire Force*50
Speed*35
Strength*40
As expected of the attribute bubbles of 7-star martial warriors. Even the Force they dropped had such a high value. There were 50 points of fire Force attributes alone, and the strength and speed attributes were decent too. His combat power increased tremendously.
Since there were no more attribute bubbles to pick up, Wang Teng turned around and left. Although he only stayed for a while, the people from the City Protection Bureau had already taken notice of him.
The people from the City Protection Bureau chased after him, but they lost him in a small alley. One of them found a piece of paper stuck on the wall beside them.
"Huh? What's written on it?"
"Be careful!" The other person reminded him.
"It's alright. It's just a piece of paper."Though, he didn't touch the paper and just leaned close to look at the content.
"8 pm, the abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs! Evil clansmen gathering!"
The people exchanged glances with one another and turned serious.
"Is it true?"
"Whether it's true or not, let's report it. We can't make a decision on this matter…"

Chapter 138: Three Years After Three Years
On the way back, Wang Teng was in deep thought. What would the City Protection Bureau do when they received this piece of news?
Should he go there to take a look tonight?
If the people from the City Protection Bureau went, there would definitely be a battle. At that time, many attribute bubbles would drop. Should he join in the fun?
But, he seemed to be looking for trouble by running to the gathering of the evil clansmen!
When he reached his rented house in the university town, it was already 11 am. Wang Teng casually called for food delivery and ate his lunch. Then, he went to Master Lu's branch store.
"Your Shooting Star Spiral and… brick!"
Lu Zisheng said when he saw Wang Teng.
But, when he mentioned the brick, he found it a little hard to open his mouth. He felt that it was a disgrace.
Wang Teng smiled, refusing to comment. He quietly picked up the attribute bubbles in his surroundings.
Smithery*8
The Lu Hammering Skill*6
He felt satisfied!
Next, Wang Teng looked at the work desk Lu Zisheng was pointing at and saw two items.
One of them was the strange-looking Shooting Star Spiral.
The other was a golden brick that was giving off gold glimmers… It was extremely eye-catching!
"The Shooting Star Spiral has reached the requirements of a 6-star high-class weapon. It's better than I imagined," Lu Zisheng said proudly.
Wang Teng picked up the Shooting Star Spiral and studied it carefully. He liked it so much that he couldn't bear to put it down. "Master Lu, your skills are really exceptional!"
"You're flattering me by calling me Master Lu." Lu Zisheng shook his head and continued. "As for this… brick, it has reached the requirements of a 5-star low-class weapon. However, I can only compress it and add some runes to it. If you have better materials in the future, you can merge them with this brick and remold it. You can be flexible with this brick."
Wang Teng took the gold brick and looked at it closely. He weighed it in his hand and tested its feel. It felt extremely comfortable in his hand, like a part of his body.
"I'm satisfied with these two items. As expected, it was the right decision to look for 'Master Lu,'" said Wang Teng.
Lu Zisheng was delighted to receive the compliment. At the same time, he felt proud too. He said, "Of course. Our 'Master Lu' brand is not just for show."
Wang Teng paid for his items and left the shop. He wanted to hurry home to test the power of these two weapons.
The university town.
There were many universities in this area, for instance, Donghai Teaching University, Donghai Technology University, and even Donghai University.
It was the summer break, so there weren't many students in school.
Wang Teng found a small forest in one of the universities. He sneaked inside once he confirmed that there was no one around.
This is a good place.
Wang Teng passed through the small forest and found a small lake in front of him. There were fake mountain rocks beside the lake. His eyes lit up.
He activated his spiritual power, and it surged out of his forehead.
The Shooting Star Spiral floated from his palm and turned into a flash of light. It swooshed into the forest as though it was alive and started flying back and forth. Then, it dived deep into the lake and split into nine rays of light. It twirled and danced at high speed in the shadows of the lake, as though it was flying in the air without any resistance.
This was the 'spiritual shadow' talent of the star bone. It allowed the weapon to shuttle back and forth in the shadows, a perfect match for spiritual power. It could definitely catch his opponents off guard.
Under the control of his spiritual power, the Shooting Star Spiral leaped out of the water. At the same time, the nine rays of light combined into one.
"Go!"
Wang Teng whispered. The Shooting Star Spiral pierced right into the fake mountain rock.
A hole appeared in the fake mountain rock without a sound. The Shooting Star Spiral shot out from the other side.
Wang Teng lifted his hand, and the Shooting Star Spiral slowly landed on his palm. He let out a long sigh. He couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
He took out the gold brick and used his spiritual power to control it as he threw it out.
When the brick was about to smash into the fake mountain rock, the Force on the surface of the gold brick merged into the brick.
The runes on the gold brick flashed once, and the weight of the brick increased exponentially. Then, the brick collided with the fake mountain.
Boom!
The fake mountain shattered into fragments.
Wang Teng burst into laughter. He wondered how good it would feel if he used this brick to smash someone.
Also, with the help of his spiritual power, he would be able to accurately hit his opponent.
"What happened just now? I think I heard an explosion?" A voice suddenly came from outside the forest.
"Let's go and take a look. It might be a student from the martial arts course damaging the school properties again."
"This bunch of little brats. They are so troublesome."
Wang Teng felt a little guilty. He released his Force and hurriedly swept the remnants of the fake mountain into the lake. Then, he moved his body swiftly and… escaped in a flurry.
When he reached home, Lin Zhan transferred the money to him.
2 billion. Minus the fees of the Bangde Auction House, they had 1.8 billion left. Each of them got 300 million when they spilled it six ways.
Everyone wanted to give Yang Fei half of the money, just as they had discussed beforehand. Yang Fei didn't accept it. Thus, they had no choice but to give up the idea and split the money evenly in the end. Anyway, even if they distributed it evenly, everyone would still get a sizable sum.
With the money in hand, Wang Teng started splurging on the internal website of Jixin Martial House.
He bought a battle uniform, a battle shield, and all the items he needed.
His orders got delivered the next day.
After that, Wang Teng didn't leave his house, starting a cultivation session at home. His enlightenment had reached the spiritual realm, so when he practiced his scriptures, his speed of cultivation and proficiency increased furiously.
Then, he practiced the Sky Cremating Sword Skill. He tested how powerful this advanced stage sword skill talent was.
In the courtyard of his rented house, Wang Teng held his battle sword and waved it furiously.
Fire Force rose from his battle sword and congregated into rays of red sword light. They were scorching and sharp!
An hour later, he stopped. Holding his sword, Wang Teng stood still.
Sky Cremating Sword Skill (foundation 18/100)
The Sky Cremating Sword Skill had increased from 15 points to 18 points on his attributes panel. The increase was astonishing.
I can save more blank attributes to add to my enlightenment and talent.
Wang Teng contemplated for a moment.
He had already realized that the blank attributes he had didn't seem to be enough for him to use as the number of his battle techniques and scriptures increased.
Hence, he needed to prioritize. It was obvious that enlightenment and talent were the foundation of everything. Once he raised these two attributes to an extremely high level, he wouldn't have to worry about the leveling up of his battle techniques and scriptures.
The moment he sorted out his thoughts, Wang Teng poured all the blank attributes into his enlightenment. Then, he started practicing his battle techniques like a maniac.
At night, in an abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs.
A bunch of suspicious-looking people was gathered in this abandoned warehouse. They looked like crazed fanatics, and they were discussing in low voices.
There was no light, with the only source of illumination being white candles placed around the warehouse. The candles gave a dim orange glow.
"The evil clansmen really have a gathering here."
The members of the City Protection Bureau were hiding in a certain corner at another side. They monitored the situation in the abandoned warehouse from afar using their binoculars.
"Are they all here?" Another member of the City Protection Bureau beside him whispered.
"They arrived a long time ago. They are lying in ambush around the warehouse."
"That's good. There are so many evil clansmen. We will catch all of them today. Haha, this will be a huge deed of merit!"
"I wonder who gave us that message. He's such a good person!"
"I heard that it was someone suspicious, dressed like a clansman. Do you think he's a spy? You know, the 'three years after three years, three years after three years' kind[1]."
"Woah, is he really a hidden boss?"
"I think he's quite pitiful. But, he's really a good person!"
The good person hiding above the members of the City Protection Bureau felt speechless.

Chapter 139: Crazy About Making Pig Heads
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
For a moment, Wang Teng suspected his own identity. Am I really a fellow evil clansman or just a spy?
Pfft, pfft!
He hurriedly shook his head to throw this ridiculous thought out of his mind.
To hell with being a spy.
I don't want to do it for three years and three more years. It's very miserable!
He stared at the people below him with a dangerous gaze.
You are really free. How dare you create rumors about me? Do I need to find some things for them to do?
As he thought about this, he used his spiritual power to control a rock. He threw it on the door of the warehouse where the evil clansmen were all gathered.
A huge 'clang' was heard!
"Who is it!" The evil clansmen in the warehouse were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. A few of them rushed out of the warehouse and started looking around.
"F*k, who threw that rock?" The members of the City Protection Bureau cursed. They shrunk back to prevent the evil clansmen from seeing them.
"Take a look around the warehouse. Let's make sure that nothing happens," one of the evil clansmen said.
More than ten evil clansmen dispersed and started searching their surroundings.
"Damn it, we can't hide anymore. Move!"
The members of the City Protection Bureau hiding in the dark helplessly made a decision. At first, they wanted to wait a little longer, but they didn't have the luxury anymore.
They were in the dark while their enemies were standing in the light.
The evil clansmen that came out to check things were taken care of in an instant. Then, the members of the City Protection Bureau lying in ambush started moving.
They threw smoke bombs and tear shells into the warehouse together.
"What is this?"
"Oh my god, we are exposed! Run!"
Most of the evil clansmen in the warehouse were martial disciples. They could hold their breaths for a short period or use their Force to block the gas. However, since they were caught unawares, many of them still got affected.
The members of the City Protection Bureau wore protective masks and charged into the warehouse. Next, gunshots resounded in the silent surroundings.
This is an unexpected move! Wang Teng was still hiding in a corner. As he observed the actions of the City Protection Bureau, he felt like watching a police and thief movie. This was an eye-opener!
The evil clansmen wouldn't sit and wait to die. They started resisting.
Immediately, explosions, cries of agony, and shouts were heard from the warehouse.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, it sounds intense. Wang Teng watched the show from outside as he waited to collect attribute bubbles.
Boom!
The abandoned warehouse was already in poor shape. Now, it started crumbling. After all, there were a bunch of martial warriors fighting inside. The destructive power of 3-star and above martial warriors was very impressive. The warehouse couldn't withstand the beating anymore and collapsed.
Multiple figures flew out of the warehouse, changing the battle arena to outside.
Some evil clansmen wanted to escape in the mess, but unfortunately, there were many members of the City Protection Bureau waiting in ambush outside.
Anyone that ran out would be caught, and every single one of them would be sent to jail.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up upon noticing the attribute bubbles floating in the ruins of the abandoned warehouse. He activated his spiritual power.
Pull!
He picked them up.
Speed*8
Strength*5
Water Force*2
Earth Force*3
Metal Force*1
In an instant, a tremendous amount of strength, speed, and Force attributes went into his pocket. These were all commonly seen attributes, though.
The Force attributes were all from the basic five elements too. No mutated Force elements appeared.
It looked like there really were few mutated element attributes. Most of the time, a normal martial warrior would have one of the five main elements as his Force.
In the past, he was able to pick up the mutated Forces like wind Force, ice Force, and poison Force because he was extremely lucky.
I didn't expect there to be so many martial warriors among the evil clansmen. Wang Teng sighed. His expression was a little stern.
He could tell how powerful this evil clan was.
Members of this clan were spread all over the nation like locusts. They were everywhere. Catching so many of them this time was helping the country to get rid of evil too.
Huh? Someone actually came right into my territory? Wang Teng looked at the evil clansman below him. He held the gold brick in his hand.
Swoosh!
A brick flew out.
The evil clansman rolled his eyes and felt a pain in his head. Before he knew what happened, he fainted.
Enlightenment*2
Spirit*2
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. He was elated. Hahaha, it's so smart of me to make this brick.
He picked them up.
Then, he continued to control the brick and hit it again and again on the evil clansman's head.
Spirit*1
Enlightenment*1
Spirit*1
He hit the evil clansman until no more enlightenment and spirit attributes dropped. By then, the evil clansman had turned into a pig head.
After some time, two members of the City Protection Bureau passed through this location coincidentally and noticed the unconscious pig head evil clansman on the ground.
"Huh, why is there an evil clansman lying here?"
They looked at him carefully and got a huge shock.
"Oh my god, who's so vicious? He turned this poor bastard into a pig head."
"It must be one of our colleagues. Had he been hiding his violent nature? We mustn't offend him."
The two of them decided that they must keep a low profile in their department in the future. They mustn't provoke some people in case they got beaten into pig heads.
The two of them wanted to go to the frontline to reinforce their colleagues, but first, they had to deal with this evil clansman.
Thus, they dragged the evil clansman away.
Wang Teng smiled secretly. He realized that the people from the City Protection Bureau had wild imaginations. They liked to think too much and come up with all kinds of strange characters and personalities.
Huh, another one! Let me hit him!
He noticed another lonely evil clansman moving in his direction. Wang Teng threw his brick at him without any hesitation.
Bang!
The evil clansman fainted.
Bang, bang, bang!
While no one was looking, Wang Teng smashed his brick on the clansman's head, giving birth to another pig head. He welcomed another wave of enlightenment attributes.
When the two members of the City Protection Bureau finished dealing with the first pig head evil clansman and came back, they saw the second pig head clansman lying on the ground. They couldn't help but exchange glances with each other. Then, they scanned their surroundings in unplanned unison.
"Sigh… he should have left, right?"
"Shall we drag him back first?"
The two of them dragged the second pig head evil clansman out.
When they came back, they saw a third pig head evil clansman unconscious on the floor.
"Hmph, I think that that mister must be hiding nearby. Let's just help him to drag the corpse away."
"You make sense."
The two members from the City Protection Bureau felt cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. They even changed the way they called the person and addressed him as 'mister' now. They were afraid that if he heard any words of disrespect from their mouths, he would beat them into pig heads, too, in a fit of anger.
The fourth clansman, the fifth clansman… the two members of the City Protection Bureau were extremely busy.
After they dragged the ninth pig head evil clansman out, they wiped the sweat off their forehead and heaved a long sigh. They were really tired.
"We are just emotionless corpse-dragging machines."
The two of them looked at each other and gave a stiff smile with an unspoken mutual understanding.
Wang Teng was having a hard time trying to hold back his laughter. He looked at the two members of the City Protection Bureau.
Am I being too harsh on them?
As time passed, all the evil clansmen either got killed or got caught. None of them were spared.
The two corpse-dragging machines dragged 12 pig head evil clansmen in total. They worked extremely hard.
While gazing at the 12 pig head evil clansmen piled in front of them like a small mountain, they felt a huge stimulation.
"Crazy about making pig heads!"
The two of them shuddered simultaneously. This was the first thought that appeared in their minds when they changed from corpse-dragging machines back to humans.

Chapter 140: It's Against The Law To Tease Ladies!
The City Protection Bureau had spent much effort and engaged many martial warriors in this operation. The chief of the City Protection Bureau had to deal with immense pressure when he decided to carry out this operation.
After all, this piece of news came from a paper with an unknown source. They didn't even know who the informant was.
He might be playing with them, or even worse, this might be a trap. They could suffer a huge loss if things went south.
All of this was part of their consideration. It wasn't easy to engage all this manpower.
If something untoward happened, the chief of the City Protection Bureau would have to bear responsibility.
Fortunately, the result was good. The content on the paper wasn't fake. This time, they gained merit.
At this moment, Chief Tan of the City Protection Bureau looked at the bunch of evil clansmen in front of him and felt happy. However, he maintained the intimidating aura of a leader and patted his subordinates' shoulders occasionally as an encouragement.
When he passed by the pile of 12 pig heads, he was slightly stunned.
"Little Liu, what is going on? Why did you beat them up so badly? This is a little inhumane. Yes, the evil clansmen are wicked, but we, the City Protection Bureau, have to be humane. We need to deal with them using humane methods!" Chief Tan regained his senses and coughed dryly as he said.
Humane methods?!
What do you mean by humane methods!
If this person in front of them wasn't their immediate superior, Little Liu and his colleague would have refuted him.
When did the City Protection Bureau ever act humanely? However, they didn't have the guts to say this.
They still needed their jobs. It was hard to support one's family in this current society. They could never lose their job.
Little Liu smiled and said obsequiously, "Chief, you're right. However, this is not done by the two of us. We were just in charge of dragging them here."
"You didn't do it? Who did it then?" Chief Tan was puzzled.
"We don't know. However, it should be one of our own," Little Liu replied with a bitter smile.
"You're not lying to me?" Chief Tan still didn't believe them.
"Chief, we wouldn't dare to lie to you. If you don't believe us, we can swear to heaven." Little Liu lifted his hand and wanted to make a vow.
"Alright, alright." Chief Tan waved his hand. He rubbed his chin as he said, "I didn't expect our City Protection Bureau to have such a talent."
Little Liu and his colleague: …
Who was the one that said this was an inhumane act a moment ago? Why are you saying that this person is a talent now?
Chief, you have double standards!
If you continue like this, you'll lose two outstanding workers.
"Cough, the two of you are not bad. Work hard. I have high hopes for you."
Chief Tan seemed to have realized his error. He quickly salvaged the situation and then walked away calmly with his hands behind his back.
Wang Teng returned to his rented house in the university town. He realized that after this trip, he was a little hungry. He called for food delivery.
He would order some Chinese barbecue and a bottle of coke!
Yes, this is how you should eat at night.
What a good life!
Fat?
What is that? As a martial warrior, I have no fear of getting fat!
While waiting for food, Wang Teng pulled out his attributes panel and looked at it.
His spirit and enlightenment attributes had increased. Although all he got were normal spirit and enlightenment attributes, they won by numbers.
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (12.5/100)
Spirit: Spiritual realm (4.5/100)
Then, his five elements increased individually too. Besides his fire element attribute, the other four attributes were close to reaching the 2-star level.
Wang Teng didn't waste his time. His enlightenment had increased, so he started practicing his battle technique without further ado.
40 minutes later, his food arrived.
He opened the door and walked out. A food delivery young man was standing at the entrance.
"Hello, your food delivery is here!" He sounded extremely polite.
Wang Teng nodded and thanked the delivery man. Life was tough. He still needed to send deliveries in the middle of the night.
After dropping Wang Teng's order, the delivery man went next door. The person who opened the door was a pretty lady. Wang Teng didn't take notice of her, though. He closed the door directly, but he didn't return to his room. He ate his supper in the courtyard.
The moment he sat down, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Teng frowned. He got up and opened the door. The lady next door was standing outside.
She was wearing short pants and a shirt, with her hair tied up in a bun. It made her look youthful and witty. She seemed to be around 20 years old, and her beauty was 8 out of 10.
"Hello, the delivery man gave me the wrong order just now. I looked at the address, and I think it's yours. Can you see if you got my order?" The beauty was holding the delivery bags in her hand as she spoke in a slightly embarrassed tone.
"Oh?" Wang Teng looked at the name and address on the delivery bag. He said in a surprised tone, "It's really mine."
"Wait for a moment. Let me take a look and see if I took your food." Wang Teng turned and walked back into his courtyard. He looked at the address on the bag.
Indeed, it was wrong.
He had only glanced at the name of the shop on the receipt just now to confirm that it was right. He didn't look at the address and name. Who would have thought that his neighbor had ordered from the same shop? The delivery man even messed up their order. What a coincidence.
"Take a look. Is this yours? I haven't opened it yet." Wang Teng passed the delivery bag to her.
"Yes, it's mine. Thank you, little brother." The lady with the bun smiled like a blooming flower.
"You're welcome. You don't really have to thank me, though," Wang Teng said.
"Alright." The lady with a bun nodded. She seemed to have a good impression of Wang Teng. She stretched out her dainty little hand and smiled. "Let's get to know each other. My name is Yan Xin. I live beside you. Please take care of me in the future."
Looking at the lively beauty in front of him, Wang Teng was slightly shocked. He lifted his hand and smiled. "My name is Wang Teng. We're neighbors now. You don't have to be so polite!"
"Did you just move in? I don't think I've seen you before," Yan Xin said.
"I've rented this place for some time, but I was busy. I couldn't move in immediately. I have many things to do, so I don't come here often," Wang Teng said.
"Wow, you rented such a big house, but you don't come here often. You must be wealthy," Yan Xin teased him.
Wang Teng smiled. He didn't continue the topic but instead asked, "What about you? Are you a student from a nearby university?"
"That's right. I'm a student at Donghai Teaching University. I'll be a year three student after this summer break. I'm normally out doing a part-time job. When I go back late at night sometimes, the dormitory auntie doesn't allow me to enter. It's a little inconvenient, so I rented a house outside with a few of my friends," Yan Xin said. "You must be a student of a nearby university too. Let me guess. You must be a freshman. You came here to experience the university town first, right?"
"Yes, I'm indeed a freshman at Huanghai Military Academy." Wang Teng nodded.
"Wow, Huanghai Military Academy!" Yan Xin looked at Wang Teng in astonishment. She said, "You must be practicing martial arts, right? Sounds like you're really powerful."
"Yes, I do practice martial arts." Wang Teng nodded.
"I admire martial arts students like you so much. Y'all receive good treatment, have high status, and are powerful. After you graduate, you will be the elite of the elites, especially the students from Huanghai Military Academy. I've heard that after graduation, you guys have a chance of entering the military directly," Yan Xin sounded more and more envious as she spoke.
"It's not so exaggerated. Your university is not bad either. It's nice to become a teacher after you graduate. You will get respected," said Wang Teng.
"Sigh, let's not talk about that. It's a sad story. Nowadays, it's not easy to become a teacher of a public school. If you want to teach in a top high school, you need to graduate with a master's degree. If you choose an elementary school or a junior high, the treatment won't be as good as a high school. It's so difficult." Yan Xin sighed again with an agonized expression.
In an instant, Wang Teng didn't know how to console her. He just had a hearty talk with a slight acquaintance. After all, they had just met.
"Haha, sorry to bother you. I accidentally started complaining to you while chatting." Yan Xin suddenly realized the situation and smiled bitterly.
"It's alright. I just don't know how to console you," Wang Teng said.
"Haha, this is not good. You must learn how to coax a lady. Oh, I should be going back now. I won't disturb you anymore… Oh right, let's exchange WeChat. If little brother wants to get to know the environment here, I can be your guide," Yan Xin took out her phone and said.
Exchange WeChat!
Ladies nowadays really liked to exchange WeChat with other people. Seriously…
"Okay~ Let's exchange our WeChat. I'm not familiar with the university town anyway." Wang Teng pretended to be serious.
Yan Xin added Wang Teng's WeChat and went back to her rented house.
The two ladies peeking at the side of the door immediately pretended that they didn't see anything. They gathered around and asked, "Xinxin, tell us, what did you do? Why did it take you so long to come back?"
"Let me tell you, our neighbor is a really handsome young boy." Yan Xin was a little excited as she spoke.
"Really!"
"Really!"
The two lady's eyes lit up, their voices joining together in unplanned unison.
Just now, Wang Teng was standing inside the door, so they couldn't see his face. When they heard their friend's words, they suddenly felt a hint of surprise.
After all, he was just living opposite. They were able to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position.
"Haha, if you want to know, you have to clean the clothes for the entire week next week." Yan Xin waved her phone. "I've already added his WeChat."
"Ah! How despicable. You actually got his WeChat. Yan Xin, you're a scheming lady," the two ladies shouted.
"Hmph, looks like you don't want to know him. How dare you call me a scheming lady," Yan Xin said.
"Don't do that. We want to know. Good Xinxin, we were wrong. We'll do your laundry for one week," the two ladies hugged Yan Xin's arms, each on one side, and shook it continuously as they begged for forgiveness.
"Haha, this feels good!"
Yan Xin raised her snow-white neck and said with a look of disdain, "There's no need to say anymore. You must at least wash my clothes for two weeks now. If not, nothing is negotiable."
"Ah! Two weeks!" The two ladies cried bitterly.
"If you hesitate any longer, don't come and beg me the next time you see the real person. At that time, it won't be something that can be solved with two weeks of clothes," Yan Xin said.
"Alright, alright, we will wash them for you. It's just two weeks, right?" The two ladies exchanged glances with each other. They gritted their teeth and agreed to Yan Xin's request.
"You need to wash them with your hands, especially my undergarments," Yan Xin said.
"Don't worry, we won't be careless. Hurry up and tell us," said the two ladies.
Then, it was a round of private lady's talk. They ate their barbeque and chatted about the young man next door. In their excitement, they would even let out a scream or two.
Men were not the only people who talked about pretty ladies. When ladies were free, they would talk about men too.
The next day, at 8 am.
Yan Xin and her two roommates went out together to head to work. When they went past Wang Teng's door, they saw a few delivery men moving some things into his courtyard.
Wang Teng stood at the side and was verifying something with one of the delivery men.
"He's really handsome!"
"Also, he looks like a mature person."
Yan Xin's two roommates were good-looking, just like her. When they saw Wang Teng standing in the courtyard, their eyes lit up like light bulbs. They spoke in hushed voices.
"Xinxin, let's go over and greet him!" one of Yan Xin's roommates, Sun Xiuyun, said.
"That's right. Let's go and greet him. You can introduce us to him too," the other roommate, Li Qian, urged her.
"I really have nothing to say about the two of you."
Yan Xin felt helpless. She didn't know what to say about her two friends who took love more seriously than friendship. However, she still listened to their request and greeted Wang Teng, "Morning!"
The battle uniform and other items he purchased yesterday had arrived. Wang Teng was signing the invoice when he heard a voice and turned around. He saw three beautiful ladies.
One of them was Yan Xin, whom he had chatted with yesterday.
"Morning!" He walked out of the courtyard and smiled as he greeted her. He asked, "Are you going out for work?"
"Yes. I was just preparing to head out. What are you doing? Why are there so many cartons?" Yan Xin asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm preparing to go out, so I bought some kits," Wang Teng didn't explain in detail.
Yan Xin noticed that he didn't want to talk much, so she stopped probing. At this moment, her roommates were poking her waist with their fingers from the back.
Naturally, she knew what her irritating besties wanted to do. She rolled her eyes secretly, but she still introduced them. "Oh right, let me introduce my two roommates to you. This short-haired lady is called Sun Xiuyun and the long-haired one is Li Qian."
Wang Teng felt speechless when she listened to Yan Xin's perfunctory introduction.
Sun Xiuyun and Li Qian were furious. They were going to end all relationships with her, end all relationships… they wouldn't be besties anymore!
"Hello, I'm Sun Xiuyun."
"Hello, I'm Li Qian."
The two of them gave their most beautiful smile as they introduced themselves.
"Nice to meet you!" Wang Teng nodded in response. He smiled and said, "You should know my name already."
The delivery men all saw Wang Teng chatting happily with three equally beautiful ladies. They were green with envy.
So what if you are handsome!
So what if you have money!
Don't you know that it's against the law to tease ladies!
Unfortunately, they only dared to complain in their hearts. They knew that the youth in front of them wasn't just simply rich and handsome.
He was a martial warrior!
In front of a martial warrior, they should just keep some things in their hearts. They didn't dare to display their emotions openly.
"Mr. Wang, your items are all here. We'll make a move now," one of the delivery men walked over and said.
"Alright, thanks for your help!" Wang Teng nodded.
"It's our job, it's our job." The delivery men felt overwhelmed by the special favor.
"We are leaving for work now. Let's keep in touch." Yan Xin and her friends bid farewell to him.
"Alright," Wang Teng replied.
The three ladies walked out of the alley. Li Qian suddenly said, "Did you notice the symbol of Jixin Martial House on the clothes of the delivery men and the cartons in the courtyard."
"Jixin Martial House!"
"One of the top three martial arts academies!"
Yan Xin and Sun Xiuyun recalled carefully. That seemed to be the truth. They gave a look of surprise uncontrollably.
Even normal people knew Jixin Martial House in this martial arts era, much less university students like them.
"This Junior Brother Wang Teng doesn't seem like a simple person!" Li Qian commented.

Chapter 141: Die A Worthy Death!
After tidying his luggage, Wang Teng stepped on the journey to the Xingwu Continent again.
This time, he went alone.
He came to the military camp where the dimensional rift was. This place was heavily guarded all the time. Not only were there soldiers carrying heavy firearms patrolling the area in shifts, but there were also martial warriors guarding in the shadows.
"Please provide your identification and cooperate with our inspection!"
The guard at the entrance stared at Wang Teng intensely with his sharp gaze. At the same time, he secretly pointed the firearm in his hand at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng followed the instructions smoothly. He took out his martial warrior credentials and passed them to the guard.
The other party carefully verified his credentials. He also collected Wang Teng's facial features and used them to verify his identity.
Simultaneously, another guard took out his scanning device and inspected his entire body as well as his belongings.
"Thank you for your cooperation!"
Once they confirmed that everything was fine, the guard saluted Wang Teng and let him in.
Wang Teng nodded. He walked through the door and went all the way in.
Now that he was alone, he had more time to observe the surroundings. He noticed that his country placed a significant emphasis on the dimensional rift.
There were all kinds of heavy firearms within the vicinity. There were cannons, infantry, armored vehicles, and even tanks and guided missiles on standby all the time!
"What are they guarding against? The Xingwu Continent? Or is it other evil clans?"
Wang Teng had a more direct perception of the tight security of this forbidden military district compared to the last time he came. Thus, he couldn't help but guess secretly.
The dimensional rift was one-way. The people on Earth could go there, but the people from Xingwu Continent couldn't come over. In that case, guarding against the Xingwu Continent was secondary to their country. Could it be that they were on the lookout for the evil clans?
Or was there some unknown inside story that ordinary people didn't know? Maybe it was so dangerous that they needed to treat it cautiously.
Wang Teng shook his head. Before receiving any compelling news, he wouldn't be able to come up with any sort of answer.
After some time, Wang Teng reached the plaza where the dimensional rift was located. As usual, there were a huge number of soldiers guarding the entrance. He could see martial warriors walking in and out occasionally.
The martial warriors that went in were just like Wang Teng. They looked ready to start.
As for those that came out, they looked bedraggled and had blood all over their bodies. They were giving off a cold and vicious aura.
This was the implication of killing.
Some of these martial warriors had smiles on their faces, while some had sorrowful expressions. Some had a solemn aura around them. They might have just lost their companions.
Wang Teng walked into the plaza and looked around. He was slightly stunned.
A small troop was gathering at the side of the plaza. There were bloodstains on their bodies. They had probably come back from the Xingwu Continent, but Wang Teng didn't know what they had just experienced. Some of them were heavily injured, and some had bandages around their bodies. Some people got carried out on stretchers too. However, one thing of note was the heroic aura pervading the air around them.
What's the matter? What's the purpose of this troop that just went to the Xingwu Continent?
Wang Teng stood at the side and stared at them. He was filled with queries. The last time he went to the Xingwu Continent with the Tiger Warrior team, they didn't see any military traces, whether in the city or the Dark Mist Forest.
Where were they stationed?
What were they doing?
He thought he would be able to get some answers after going to the Xingwu Continent. But, now, he realized that the Xingwu Continent was still shrouded in a mysterious mist.
"Everyone, you died a worthy death. Let's… go home!" An angry shout came from the front of the troop.
"Go home!"
The entire unit responded furiously too.
They turned around abruptly and marched towards the entrance at an orderly pace. Even though they were injured, their backs were ramrod straight.
Wang Teng finally saw the soldiers at the front holding a few urns in their hands, and the country flag was decorating the urns. Some people were crying violently, but they remained resolute.
Wang Teng was astounded. He stood on the spot and watched them leave with his gaze. He remained silent for a long time.
"You died a worthy death."
He muttered to himself as he walked towards the dimensional rift.
Wang Teng took a step into the dimensional rift. He felt dizzy. He tried his best to open his eyes, but unfortunately, all he saw was pitch-black. He couldn't see anything at all.
After feeling the solid ground underneath his feet, he still couldn't see anything. He opened his eyes, but everything was pitch-black.
Did I go blind!?
Wang Teng was shocked, finally regretting his actions. Fortunately, after some time, he slowly regained his vision and managed to see the things in front of him.
"Little brother, it's better not to open your eyes in the dimensional rift. You will lose your vision otherwise," another martial warrior who just came out of the dimensional rift smiled and said to him.
"Thank you for your reminder." Wang Teng nodded.
"Old Chen, let's go!" The martial warrior's teammate called out to him.
The martial warrior called Old Chen nodded at Wang Teng and followed his teammates. Wang Teng could faintly hear their conversation.
"He looks like a newbie!"
"Old Chen, why do you care about him? You don't know him."
"Haha, we've all been through this stage. If we can help, let's just help."
"Speaking of it, this fellow came to the Xingwu Continent alone. He's quite bold…"
The voices got fainter as they moved further away.
Wang Teng retracted his gaze and picked up the attribute bubbles these people had dropped.
Space*0.6
He noticed that the space attribute bubbles only existed for a very short time. Also, only people who just came out from the dimensional rift would drop this attribute. There were no space attribute bubbles around him left behind by the martial warriors who came before them. If not, there should be more bubbles.
Should I set up camp here? Wang Teng thought to himself.
Currently, he didn't have many space attributes. When he went back to earth to rest, he tested this attribute. This amount of space attribute couldn't do anything at all. It was just for show.
The space talent was very important. He needed to collect more of them.
Without hesitating any longer, Wang Teng went to the back of the dimensional rift and sat at the corner of the hall. He hid in the dark.
Only newbies would observe their surroundings curiously. Experienced martial warriors left the moment they came out, just like the team that came with him. To them, staying here a second longer was a waste of time.
Thus, no one would notice him.
Wang Teng stayed in the hall for several hours. There weren't many people who came in and out of the dimensional rift. Not everyone would drop space attribute bubbles either. It was all based on luck.
Space attribute*3.4
He looked at his attributes panel.
Space (4.8/10000)
Wang Teng glanced at the time and knew that he couldn't stay here any longer. If the guards patrolling outside came in to check the area, without a doubt, he would be taken away as a suspicious person.
It was unrealistic for him to stay here and wait to pick up space attributes.
He would be taken as a lunatic even if he wasn't.
When will I be able to collect enough space attributes?
Wang Teng sighed. He got up helplessly and walked out of the hall.
At this moment, a few martial warriors walked out of the dimensional rift. They saw Wang Teng strolling out of the corner of their eyes and got a rude shock.
They looked at Wang Teng with a puzzled expression.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. Pick them up!
Space*1.3
Oh my god, these martial warriors had dropped quite a few space attributes. There were 1.3 points in total. This was the highest number he had seen until now.
Space (6.1/10000)
Indeed, life is full of small surprises.
Wang Teng walked out of the hall in satisfaction. He ignored the people inside who were still in shock.

Chapter 142: Don't Go Out When It's Dark
Wang Teng walked out of the Force tower and strode on the wide streets of Yong City.
Ever since getting the space ring, he had started keeping some inconvenient items inside the ring. He only needed to carry his weapon carrier casket. Otherwise, he traveled lightly.
He kept thinking of the same question along the way.
Why weren't people from the Xingwu Continent able to pass through the dimensional rift?
Last time, Wang Teng had asked Lin Zhan and his teammates the same question, but they didn't know the answer.
Could it be that the Earth's will is resisting the people from the Xingwu Continent? Wang Teng had this thought, but he found it a little funny.
Although the presence of martial warriors in this martial arts era didn't make scientific sense, it would be even more absurd if they started talking about the will of the Earth.
He shook his head.
Not far away from him, the Yong City branch of Jixin Martial House was within his sight.
When Wang Teng walked into the building, many people recognized him.
"Isn't that the newbie from the Tiger Warrior team? Why is he alone?"
"The Tiger Warrior team lost an important member recently. By right, they will need to spend a long time reorganizing themselves before they come to the Xingwu Continent again."
"Could it be that he's here to explore on his own?"
The martial warriors in the hall started discussing among themselves. Some looked at Wang Teng in surprise.
Wang Teng ignored everyone and walked straight to the counter. He said to the staff, "I want to borrow a heavy armor vehicle."
The staff looked at Wang Teng's extremely young face and felt a little astounded.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yes!" Wang Teng nodded.
"Young man, do you know how dangerous it is to explore and hunt alone?" Someone couldn't help but remind Wang Teng.
"Thank you for your concern. However, I've already made my decision," said Wang Teng.
"Alright, I just wanted to remind you. You can make your own decision. We can't control you." The person waved his hand nonchalantly.
The staff didn't say anything. He just passed Wang Teng a key.
"This is the car key. Take the car matching the number on the key. The payment will be based on the amount of time you use it. Also, if the car is spoiled, you will need to make the necessary compensation."
"What other questions do you have?"
"No questions." Wang Teng nodded and turned around to leave the martial arts building.
The people in the hall looked at his back view as he left. They couldn't help but exclaim.
"Youth knows no fear."
Wang Teng drove the heavy armor vehicle out of Yong City toward the Dark Mist Forest.
The heavy armor vehicle used Force as its fuel.
There was a vast difference between the Xingwu Continent and Earth. The Xingwu Continent used Force as their primary energy source.
Besides the Force in the air around them, the main source of Force came from energy stones.
If they wanted to use Force, they needed the help of runes.
However, if they wanted to extract Force from the air, they needed to extract, purify, and coagulate it. There were too many steps, and the efficiency was low. Without the skillfully contrived rune, they wouldn't be able to move machinery at a highly effective rate.
Thus, under normal circumstances, these types of machinery relied on the Force in energy stones as their fuel. Wang Teng only knew this general knowledge after he started driving his own car.
It was already dusk. A huge sun hung low in the west, right above the horizon.
The heavy armor vehicle moved forward at high speed, startling the birds in the wild.
The transfer station outside the Dark Mist Forest was known as the Dark Mist Town.
By the time Wang Teng reached the Dark Mist Town, the sky had turned completely dark.
He parked his car to the side, as he didn't plan to stop here. He wanted to enter the Dark Mist Forest while it was still dark.
He walked out of the small town and saw many citizens from the Xingwu Continent along the way. Some of them looked at him coldly. They even seemed a little malicious.
The Dark Mist Town was a famous location in the Xingwu Continent. All kinds of martial warriors were gathered here, good and bad.
From the past until now, the Xingwu Continent remained a place that respected the powerful. They closely abided by the rule of 'the survival of the fittest.' In fact, they didn't even hide their intentions.
When the dimensional rifts appeared, they didn't change, following the same rule when they faced the martial warriors from the Earth. They maintained peace on the surface, but the actual competition was intense and cruel.
To some local tyrants that stayed in the Dark Mist Town all year round, Wang Teng, who came here all alone, was like a huge fat sheep!
Wang Teng entered the Dark Mist Forest. Wearing his infrared glasses, he started shuttling back and forth in the forest at high speed.
Steps of Gale!
Wind Force swirled around his feet and formed small whirlpools. It pushed his body up and made him feel incredibly light and agile.
This is how it feels like to be the wind.
He kept increasing his speed to experience the sensation of merging with the wind.
This time, he didn't execute the Steps of Gale because he wanted to show off. Instead, he was just practicing his battle technique to increase its proficiency.
Wang Teng remained alert of his environment and occasionally used his Spiritual Sight to observe the changes to the Force around him.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he noticed something, and his gaze paused for a moment. He moved his body and leaped up a huge tree. He hid among the flourishing tree leaves.
The plants on Earth had grown stronger and bigger after the purification of the Force, but compared to their counterparts on the Xingwu Continent, they were small.
After Wang Teng hid himself, a few black figures came over at a fast speed.
"What happened? Where did that brat go?"
"Damn it, he's really fast. He disappeared in a blink of an eye."
The three suspicious figures were whispering in frustration.
Wang Teng hid in the tree. As he listened to their conversation, he scoffed in his heart. Hmm, y'all are actually targeting me?
"Let's split up and search. Once anyone sees him, send the signal," one of the people said.
"Sure!"
The remaining two nodded and headed in other directions to search for Wang Teng. They left one person here to explore the vicinity.
Based on the intensity of the Force rays around these three, they should be 1-star soldier-level martial warriors. I want to see how you are going to rob me.
Wang Teng remained indifferent, and an icy glare shot out of his eyes.
He had killed many people, so he was gradually getting used to it. He didn't mind having a few more lives on his hands.
"Where did he go? Why can't we find him?" The person below muttered to himself. He searched for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone.
"Are you looking for me?" A voice suddenly came from above him.
In the dark, the person's expression changed. Before he could react, though, a cold ray flashed past, and his body turned stiff and motionless.
"Urgh, urgh…"
His voice was stuck in his throat. His pupils constricted to needles, and his gaze was filled with disbelief. The person reflexively clutched his throat to stop the fresh blood from flowing out. He fell down weakly.
As his opponent was a martial warrior, Wang Teng waited for some time before calling out to him once he was relaxed. His opponent was stunned. Wang Teng used his spiritual power to fire the Shooting Star Spiral that he brought with him and took away his opponent's life in a split second.
One shot, one kill!
This method was unexpected. Even martial warriors had a hard time guarding against it.
Spirit*2
Enlightenment*3
Earth Force*6
A few attribute bubbles dropped.
Wang Teng picked them up and then kept the corpse in his space ring. Next, he chased after the other two who had gone in different directions.
The martial warrior I just killed is the most powerful one among them. He should be a 1-star advanced-stage martial warrior. The other two people are weaker. Never mind, let's just kill them using this sneaky method. Saves me much trouble.
Wang Teng used his Steps of Gale and silently closed in on one of the martial warriors.
The Shooting Star Spiral was made from the spirit shadow star bone, so it was a potent murdering weapon in the dark. Even 2-star or 3-star martial warriors might get killed by it if they were careless.
Very soon, Wang Teng found the other martial warrior.
Go!
He hid behind a huge tree. Following his thoughts, the Shooting Star Spiral jumped in the air. The martial warrior got killed instantly. He didn't even have time to react.
Spirit*1
Water Force*3
He picked them up.
It was the last martial warrior's turn. Without any surprises, he died from the Shooting Star Spiral.
Wang Teng looked at the Shooting Star Spiral that was giving off a dull glint. He suddenly thought of a sentence—Don't go out when it's dark!
The Shooting Star Spiral allowed him to turn into a night murderer. No one was able to live under his hands. Actually, killing 1-star martial warriors was as easy as killing chickens.
Many people went through many hardships and challenges to become martial warriors. Yet, they got killed so easily. This was the cruelty of the martial warriors' world.
Wang Teng looked at the bubbles dropped by the last martial warrior.
Spirit*1
Fire Force*5
He picked them up. It was a pity that there weren't any scriptures or battle techniques.
Wang Teng took out the other two corpses and laid them side by side. He then started searching the bodies.
In the end, he found three small bags of energy stones. There weren't many of them, only around 30 pieces.
He also found three weapons that were 1-star grade. He would earn some money if he sold them.
After finishing everything, Wang Teng burned the three corpses into ashes.
Getting rid of the corpses and the traces was a necessary step after killing someone.
Also, Wang Teng viewed the Shooting Star Spiral as his secret weapon. He didn't want other people to notice any hints of it from the corpses.
The fire extinguished quickly. Next, Wang Teng headed towards the depth of the forest at high speed.
Although the three martial warriors were dead, no one would seek justice for them. Their deaths would only cause some people to laugh at them for failing miserably in an easy task. After some time, no one would even remember their names.
After taking care of the trouble, Wang Teng started training and hunting in the Dark Mist Forest alone.
The star beasts in the Xingwu Continent were bigger in size than those on Earth. They ran wild in the forest, and the commotion they made was astonishing.
It had been three days since Wang Teng entered the Dark Mist Forest.
At this moment, in front of him, six flying daggers and his Shooting Star Spiral formed afterimages in the air as they cut through it. Their paths crisscrossed and created an airtight death web.
It cut away at the group of 1-star star beasts in front of him like a meat grinder.
Star beast was a powerful presence. Even if it was just a 1-star beginner-stage star beast, ordinary martial warriors would need some time before they could kill it.
Some inexperienced martial warriors might even get killed by the star beast instead.
However, now, the numerous star beasts in front of Wang Teng couldn't retaliate at all. They were being slaughtered like farm animals.
The angry howls of the star beasts were heard continuously. It sounded exceptionally sad and shrill.
The ground was quickly soaked with blood. Meat piles landed on the ground, painting a chilling scene.
More than ten 1-star beginner-stage jackals were killed by Wang Teng. They dropped a whole bunch of attribute bubbles.
Blank Attribute*2
Blank Attribute*2
Earth Force*5
Blank Attribute*3
Earth Force*2
He picked them up.
During these three days, Wang Teng didn't go too deep into the forest. Instead, he hunted 1-star beginner-stage star beasts like the ones in front of him.
To other martial warriors, a group of star beasts might be a disaster, but Wang Teng was able to rely on his spiritual power to turn them into his attribute bubbles ATM.
Wang Teng's spiritual power was stronger than his Force. It was a lethal threat to beginner stage star beasts.
He would kill one whenever he saw one!
The more there were, the more exhilarating it was to kill them. Accordingly, there were more attribute bubbles too.
When he killed star beasts, the attributes that dropped the most were blank attributes and Force attributes.
Wang Teng would increase his enlightenment whenever he received a blank attribute.
His enlightenment had already reached the spiritual realm. When he raised it higher, the effects got better and better.
It allowed the practice speed of his battle techniques to become faster and faster. His proficiency increased exponentially.
If it continues like this, I will be able to reach the perfected stage for many of my battle techniques in no time!
Also, the Force attributes have been rising quickly too. They are reaching the level of a 2-star soldier level!
Wang Teng was extremely motivated as he watched his stats rising at a visible speed. He took off all the materials on the star beast's bodies and put them in his space ring.
Star cores and star bones were rare. He hadn't seen any until now.
Let's continue!
Wang Teng decided to head deeper into the forest.
During these three days, he had killed most of the 1-star beginner-stage star beasts in this area. Now, all the star beasts were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring. Once they sensed any movement, they would run away. Rather than wasting time chasing them, Wang Teng decided to hunt for star beasts deeper in the forest.
The outer circle of the Dark Mist Forest was the territory of 1-star to 3-star star beasts.
Normally, the deeper you went, the higher the level of the star beasts and the more powerful they were.
Wang Teng kept pushing on from the outside of the circle to the inside. He started with 1-star beginner-stage star beasts, 1-star advanced-stage star beasts, and then 1-star peak-stage star beasts.
After another five days, a massive number of 1-star star beasts were killed by Wang Teng. His ability had taken an enormous leap.
All his five element Forces had finally reached the 2-star level.
The five Forces entered the second Force nucleus above his tailbone. The five elements circled the Force nucleus, reinforcing and counteracting one another. It was a mysterious feeling.
That night, Wang Teng sat cross-legged on the crown of a huge tree and felt the changes of the Forces in his body. He had a sudden thought.
What will happen if I merge the five element Forces together?
Unfortunately, I lack metal and wood talents, so I'm unable to use these two Forces. If not, I could have given it a try.
When he pushed this thought aside, a new thought came to his mind. He frowned and pondered. The three mutated elements, wind, ice, and poison, are hard to get. I haven't seen any star beast with these three attributes. I didn't even see another gale wolf.
I think that I can start hunting 2-star star beasts tomorrow. I hope that I can meet some of these star beasts.
Once he decided on his plan, Wang Teng closed his eyes to rest. He continued his massacre the next day.
I'll try my best to become a 3-star martial warrior before school starts.
Wang Teng had this thought in mind, so he got more hardworking at hunting and killing star beasts. Slowly, he started exuding a crazy temperament.
In the afternoon, he wandered around the forest and suddenly saw a star beast. His eyes lit up.
Shh, look what I found.
A gale wolf that got separated from its pack. I can try to kill it. One gale wolf can provide me with many wind Force attributes. It will also drop a large number of blank attributes.
However, gale wolves weren't easy to deal with. He needed to close in on them slowly from the back, carefully without making a sound.
Alright, I've caught it. Look at how hard it's struggling. I will smash its head into pieces, and then… There was no more 'then' after this.

Chapter 143: Dark Apparition
The attributes dropped by the 2-star beginner-stage gale leopard included:
Wind Force*10
Blank Attribute*12
Wang Teng picked all of them up!
Without a doubt, even if it was just a 2-star beginner-stage star beast, the attribute bubbles they dropped were more than a 1-star star beast.
Then, he took some materials from the leopard's body.
Wind was a mutated element. If you compared this star beast with another star beast of the same level, the materials on its body had a higher price than those from a normal element star beast.
Its claws, teeth, skin… the last time he came to the Xingwu Continent, Wang Teng had learned some dissection skills from Yang Fei. After a few days of practical experience, he got more and more skilled at it. He was able to dissect a beast quickly without wasting much time.
The area inside the space ring was equivalent to a huge truck. It could fit many things. Thus, Wang Teng didn't hesitate. He stuffed all the things he obtained from the star beasts into the ring.
This was all money!
He must not waste them!
Wasting was atrocious!
When the space ring was full, he would find a place to hide the lower-priced items so that he could come back and take them another time.
Finally, he checked if there was any star core or star bone.
Although it was rare for a low-level star beast to have a star bone, Wang Teng didn't overlook any of the beasts he killed. He would only give up after he had completed his inspection.
As expected, there was no star bone, but there was a pleasant surprise. The beast had a star core!
It was a 2-star wind element star core!
What a massive gain!
Wang Teng happily kept the star core and left this place.
In a certain part of the Dark Mist Forest, Wang Teng met three 2-star earth armor pigs.
There was nothing to say between a human and a pig.
They started fighting without a second word.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Wang Teng didn't use his Shooting Star Spiral right away. He shot six flying daggers out first to hold back two of the earth armor pigs.
Then, he dashed towards the last one.
Fire Kirin Sword Skill!
The moment he attacked, it was the perfected stage Fire Kirin Sword Skill.
After these few days of practice, his Fire Kirin Sword Skill had reached the perfected stage. Its power was many times stronger than before.
There were some differences between Force battle techniques and foundation battle techniques. It could mainly be split into the foundation, small achievement, big achievement, perfected, presence, and conscious stage.
There was no presence enlightenment stage after the perfected stage. It went right to the understanding of presence and conscious.
These last two stages consisted of powerful lethal stances derived from the battle techniques. These stances exceeded the realms of battle techniques.
For instance, one could derive sword presence and even the sword conscious.
When you attacked with your sword, the powerful presence of your sword would bear down on your opponent and the conscious of your attack would cut through the air. The battle technique was heightened to another level.
However, if you wanted to understand the presence and conscious of your skill, you needed to have extremely high talent.
Among a few hundred martial warriors who practiced sword skills, there might not even be one who could understand the presence of the sword.
Conscious was even more challenging to understand than presence.
That was truly the exclusive right of real talents.
Among a few thousand martial warriors who practiced sword skills, there might only be one or two that would reach the conscious stage.
Wang Teng had an advanced stage sword skill talent as well as a high enlightenment attribute. This was why he was able to upgrade his Fire Kirin Sword Skill to the perfected stage so quickly. He even felt a faint hint of 'sword presence.' At the moment, he was standing at the threshold of the presence stage.
His other battle techniques had also reached the perfected stage, but they didn't show any inclination to reach the presence stage.
Squeal!
The earth armor pig grunted. Contrary to its appearance, its fat body was extremely agile. It stomped its hind leg on the ground and jumped to the side, evading Wang Teng's attack.
Do you think you can dodge?
There were no changes in Wang Teng's expression. He remained calm as he twirled the battle sword in his hand. His actions were smooth and natural, like flowing water. He turned the direction of his sword and aimed it at the earth armor pig's body.
The sharp sword slit opened the earth armor pig's scales immediately. Next, a scorching fire Force invaded its body.
The earth armor pig let out a roar of agony. Then, it slammed into the ground.
At the same time, Wang Teng controlled his six flying daggers and moved them below the two earth armor pigs. He pierced their abdomen with the daggers and ground their organs.
Weak point!
If you wanted to kill star beasts, you needed to find their weak points. This would save you time and energy.
Earth Force*6
Blank Attribute*5
Earth Force*8
Blank Attribute*4
Wang Teng picked up the bubbles before bending down to take the materials on the earth armor pig's body. Then, he left.
Boom!
A giant python was hanging on a big tree branch that needed five adults to hug it together. Its thick and fat tail swooshed towards Wang Teng.
A 3-star advanced-stage star beast!
As he went deeper into the forest, Wang Teng finally met a powerful 3-star star beast.
Of course, after killing many 2-star star beasts, he had successfully advanced to 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. If not, he wouldn't dare to tackle this 3-star star beast.
3-star advanced-stage star beasts were the most powerful presence in the outer circle. They usually occupied an entire area and proclaimed themselves the king of their territory.
They were extremely strong. Ordinary 3-star martial warriors could be in trouble if they met one of these beasts.
However, Wang Teng wasn't afraid. When he saw the giant python slashing its tail at him, he didn't dodge. Earth Force surged out of his body and congregated into a shield in front of him.
Earth Element Shield!
Bang!
The giant tail smashed onto the Earth Element Shield. Wang Teng held his ground and observed the changes in his Earth Element Shield.
One second, two seconds…
Crack, crack!
The Earth Element Shield persevered for five seconds under the impact of the giant python's tail. In the end, it shattered into pieces and turned into tiny dots of light. Then, it dispersed into the air.
By that time, Wang Teng had already shifted his body and appeared in another location.
"Hiss~ Hiss~"
The giant python slowly wriggled its body on the huge tree. It turned its triangular snake head at Wang Teng and looked at him with a sinister gaze.
"Have a taste of my most powerful attack!"
Wang Teng spoke to himself. He held the battle sword in his hand, and the fire Force surged out of his body. It congregated on the battle sword.
A few seconds later, the fire Force had almost turned solid.
Flames burnt furiously!
Sky Cremating Sword Skill!
Cremation!
The sword slashed through the air. The sword light roared at the giant python like a fire dragon's breath.
"Hiss!"
The giant python seemed to have felt a strong sense of danger. It raised its head and hissed towards the sky, letting out a ray of ice blue light from its mouth like a fountain.
Boom!
The ice blue light merged with the sky full of flames.
The giant python was engulfed in the roaring flames. It kept making shrill cries.
Its huge body slammed down from the large tree trunk. It frantically rolled on the ground in an attempt to put out the flames, but it wasn't of much help.
Boom!
The trees around the two were all broken. The place was a huge mess.
The giant python's struggles grew weaker and weaker as time passed.
Now, it only wanted to run away, leaving a long brunt mark on the ground. It kept moving until it was unable to crawl anymore. It had lost all its vitality.
Ice Force*35
Blank Attribute*30
Beginner stage ice talent*20
35 points of ice Force. My ice Force is finally at the 2-star level! Wang Teng was elated when he felt the changes in his body.
His five normal elements Forces had already reached 3-star. It was good that his ice Force had reached 2-star. It wasn't lagging too much.
There are still 20 points of ice talent!
Wang Teng looked at his attributes panel.
Beginner stage ice talent (33/300)
Erm… it looked like he still had a long way to go before getting to the intermediate stage!
On the other hand, he had 20 more blank attributes. All the blank attributes he got from killing the star beasts were used to raise his enlightenment. Recently, he had saved some of his blank attributes, so he had 125 points left.
Wang Teng walked over and looked at the burnt corpse of the giant python with pity.
The scales of this giant python were destroyed. What a waste!
He didn't expect the last stance of the Sky Cremating Sword Skill to be so powerful. Even a 3-star advanced-stage star beast was unable to resist it.
All he could say was—terrifying!
Wang Teng sensed the corpse, and a smile appeared on his face. He retrieved a star core from the body of the giant python.
A 3-star star core. It was worth a lot of money!
He examined it properly before placing it into the space ring.
As for star bone, there was no point thinking about it.
Until now, despite killing a few hundred star beasts, Wang Teng didn't find any star bone at all.
Time passed slowly. It had been a month since Wang Teng came to the Dark Mist Forest.
At this moment, the moon hung high in the sky, and it was late at night.
Wang Teng sat cross-legged on the crown of a huge tree. He was counting his spoils so far.
Wang Teng's primary purpose of coming to the Dark Mist Forest this time was to gain experience and improve his combat ability.
When he was facing the star beasts, he didn't just kill them to get their attribute bubbles. He was practicing his battle techniques too.
Phantom Ice Fist, Moving Mountain Blade Skill, Green Gale Claw, Earth Element Shield, Folding Waves Sword Skill, Sky Cremating Sword Skill, Steps of Gale…
He left no one behind!
Now, all his battle techniques had reached the perfected stage.
He also finally understood the sword presence of the Fire Kirin Sword Skill. However, he hadn't even hit 10%. On the attributes panel, it showed that he was only at 5%.
His scriptures were improving tremendously too.
Force skill scriptures only had the foundation, small achievement, big achievement, and perfected stages.
His Red Flame Scripture, Deep Ice Scripture, and Earth Loess Skill had already reached the perfected stage.
His Wind Soul Scripture was the only dark-level scripture, and he had comprehended it to the big achievement stage. However, he would still need some time before he moved it to the perfected stage.
Spiritual realm enlightenment was shocking once he started his cultivation.
For martial warriors that didn't have high enlightenment, it was tough for them to reach the big achievement, much less the perfected stage, for their scriptures or battle techniques. Their speed of cultivation would be very slow too.
However, for those talents with high enlightenment, practicing scriptures and battle techniques was as easy as eating and drinking.
Wang Teng spent one month to reach this state. It seemed really fast, but compared to genuine talents, he might still be a little slow.
The advantage of raising his scripture to the perfected stage was that his speed of extracting and refining his Force had become faster.
Talents were able to cultivate really quickly while normal martial warriors lagged a long way behind. This was the reason.
Besides this, Wang Teng spent some spare time practicing his Gun Kungfu.
He purposely looked for those fast and agile star beasts to test his skill. The effects were not bad. He just needed a lot of bullets.
Gun Kungfu (small achievement 25/100)
Gun Kungfu was hard, so he only reached the small achievement stage. Next, he looked at the changes to his enlightenment and spirit.
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (15/100)
Spirit: Spiritual realm (5/100)
These two attributes were even harder to increase. Fortunately, he had blank attributes, so he could use them.
These all increased his combat ability. As for materials, Wang Teng's space ring was almost full.
"Sigh!"
Wang Teng couldn't help but sigh. He stretched his back and laid down on the crown of the tree, gazing at the bright and shiny moon in the air. His mood was excellent.
He was a 3-star martial warrior now. Even more, he was a 3-star martial warrior who had five equally powerful element Forces.
Even if he met a 4-star martial warrior, Wang Teng would have a chance to fight with them.
"School is starting soon. I should go back," Wang Teng muttered to himself.
Just as he was thinking about this, he sat up abruptly and looked in a certain direction.
There's a movement!
Wang Teng moved his body and hid behind the leaves. He concealed the aura around his body and remained dormant. He didn't expose himself at all.
The sound of footsteps, the rustling of the leaves…
The movement from afar was coming closer and closer.
Who are they? Why are they in such a hurry? Did they meet a star beast? No, if they really met a star beast, why is there only the sound of human footsteps? Wang Teng frowned. All kinds of thoughts flashed past his mind quickly.
"#¥%!(Hurry up and leave!)"
A shout was suddenly heard. It was filled with panic.
The Xingwu Continent language!
Wang Teng understood the meaning of the shout. At the same time, he confirmed that these people weren't humans from Earth.
Also, it was obvious that they were in trouble!
Wang Teng didn't have much compassion towards native Xingwu Continent citizens. Hence, he continued hiding and observed them.
A few figures were running frantically in the night. Soon, they came close to Wang Teng.
One of the figures was extremely tall and bulky, almost three meters in height. However, the other person reached only 1.3 meters.
These two people were two extremes!
The other three people looked no different from normal humans.
Giant!
Dwarf!
The information of these two races appeared in Wang Teng's mind.
Giants and dwarfs were two directly opposite races in the Xingwu Continent.
The giants were generally at least 2.5 meters in height, and all of them were bulky and muscular. They were natural frontline soldiers.
The dwarfs were the exact opposite; they never grew above 1.5 meters in height. They were small and were known for their speed. They were natural assassins.
Interesting. This should be a martial warrior team!
Wang Teng was just thinking about this when he heard a scream of despair.
One of the people from this small team suddenly got dragged into the dark and dense bushes at the side. Everyone only saw a black shadow flashing past.
What is that? Wang Teng's expression changed. He immediately became serious.
He didn't even see it clearly either!
Spiritual Sight!
Wang Teng immediately activated his Spiritual Sight and scanned his surroundings.
Where did it go?
His eyes moved quickly. The first time, he didn't see anything. When he observed around him again at a slower speed, he finally noticed something abnormal.
A ball of black light was hiding behind the bushes. It almost merged with the dark night sky.
If the black area didn't have a faint glow around it, Wang Teng wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong even if he were to look at it a few more times.
A black Force glow? He was flabbergasted and puzzled.
"Don't go!"
The other people were astounded when they saw their companion being dragged into the dark. Someone wanted to help his friend, but he got pulled back.
"Alert!" A lady's voice was heard.
The group immediately formed a circle. They had their backs to one another as they kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings.
All the sound seemed to have disappeared. Even the chirps of birds and insects couldn't be heard. There was dead silence.
"It must be a dark apparition!"
"We won't be able to escape. Death is the only route left. We must fight with it. That way, we might have a chance to live."
"Damn it, why's there a dark apparition here?"
"This is a serious matter. One of us must remain alive to deliver this piece of news."
The group kept talking while looking for any changes.
Dark apparition!? Wang Teng was stunned. This was another new term. He had no idea what it was.
From their tone, this dark apparition sounded terrifying. Its appearance must be grave since they wanted to deliver the news back.
Is that black light the dark apparition?
Wang Teng had only looked away for one minute. When he turned back to the area again, the black ball of light was gone. He was so shocked that he felt cold sweat on his body.

Chapter 144: Ghost Face
Wang Teng had lost sight of the dark apparition. He scanned his surroundings in panic, wanting to find it again.
As seconds ticked by, his expression grew uglier and uglier.
That damn thing… had disappeared!
Silence!
Dead silence!
He could hear the sound of the wind around him. It sounded like someone sobbing.
At that moment, rustling sounds suddenly resounded from the dense forest surrounding him.
A mist was starting to appear in the Dark Mist Forest again…
"Damn it!"
Wang Teng heard the four-man team below cursing in low voices. In this eerie atmosphere, they fell into extreme uneasiness.
"We shouldn't wait here without doing anything. We must retreat!"
"No, once we separate, we will be killed one by one."
The longer they waited, the more agitated they felt.
Some people from the team didn't want to wait for their deaths, but retreating was obviously a bad idea.
The dark apparition hiding in the shadows was like an extremely patient hunter. It might be waiting for the four men to separate.
They didn't need to stay too far apart. They just needed to stop pasting their backs against each other, and it would have a chance to attack them.
Where did it go?
Wang Teng was also affected by the eerie atmosphere. He felt tense and nervous as he searched for traces of the dark apparition everywhere.
Something just doesn't feel right!
In an instant, he was on tenterhooks. He turned his neck slowly. When he reached 45 degrees, he finally saw a face that was inches away from his eyes.
A creature that looked like a human was hanging upside down on a branch. It was clutching the tree branch with its limbs tightly as it stared straight at Wang Teng.
What face was it?
A ghost face!
It was an ugly and hideous ghost face!
Its eyes were scarlet and muddy. Its face was covered with black stripes, and dark green vessels were popping out all over its forehead.
It looked both like a monkey and a human. It was bizarre and horrifying.
No wonder he couldn't find it. This fellow had discovered him and even sneaked up on him.
"F*k!"
Wang Teng's pupils constricted to needles. He cursed and poured out his spiritual power without thinking, forming a pushing force.
Boom!
The dark apparition pounced on Wang Teng in his face. However, it didn't expect this human to create an invisible pushing force, causing it to fly out.
Wang Teng used the pushing force to retreat quickly. He landed on the ground.
The four people below were stunned.
This scene was too abrupt. They didn't know what had happened, yet a figure had already flown down from the tree.
"Who are you?" one of the people below shouted.
This voice belonged to the only lady on the team. She was using the Xingwu Continent's common language.
"This is not the time to care about who I am. Let's take care of this damn thing first," Wang Teng also replied in the Xingwu Continent's common language.
After he finished speaking, he immediately looked in the direction where the dark apparition flew out from.
However, it had disappeared once again from Wang Teng's vision.
"Luo Ya, this fellow can't be trusted. He was hiding suspiciously on the tree. We don't know whether he's a friend or foe. If he hadn't been forced out by the dark apparition, he might still be waiting to sneak an attack on us," the other male human in the team said.
"We don't have a choice. Let's take care of the dark apparition first," Luo Ya, who was the leader of this team, said firmly.
The man stopped talking. He just reminded Luo Ya so that she could be prepared.
"Be careful. It's above you!" Wang Teng suddenly shouted.
He didn't hesitate. Almost immediately, while shouting, he clutched the battle sword in his hand, and a fiery red Force exploded out of his body. He slashed his sword in the air above their heads.
Screech!
A furious howl.
Wang Teng saw the dark apparition pushing its palm forward. Then, with a flash of black, it shattered his sword light.
The other four people were shocked. However, they were experienced martial warriors, so they quickly launched their attacks.
The moment Wang Teng's attack got diffused, four different attacks ensued.
Slash!
Wang Teng saw the black shadow flickering. Then, it disappeared under the attack of the four people.
The sound of the wind was strong.
He felt a strong wind coming from behind him.
Wang Teng didn't turn around, but the strong wind still wasn't able to hurt him at all.
Clang!
Six flying daggers shuttled back and forth in the dark. It formed a defense wall behind him that he was able to use to attack his opponent too. The strong gale only managed to strike the flying daggers.
When they collided, sparks were formed!
Wang Teng turned around and saw the black shadow landing on all fours on the ground. Its pitch-black claws were razor-sharp, and its speed was incredible.
If his flying daggers hadn't blocked the attack just now, that claw would have been able to penetrate his heart and turn it cold.
Once the dark apparition noticed that it couldn't kill Wang Teng in a single strike, it fled far away. It used its frightening speed and unpredictable movements in the dark to disappear in the blink of an eye.
Wang Teng's expression was ugly. He felt really fortunate.
This damn creature was so hard to deal with. He needed to focus his full attention and use everything he had.
He was able to see the dark apparition with his Spiritual Sight, but it traveled at high speed in the dark and kept changing its position.
Also, it had a mysterious talent that allowed it to merge into the dark environment. If he didn't pay attention, he would lose track of it.
"You can see it!"
The lady called Luo Ya exclaimed in surprise.
Two times!
He reminded them once and evaded the attack of the dark apparition the other time.
This was definitely not luck. The man in front of her was able to see the dark apparition. Luo Ya was certain of it.
"I'll remind you." Wang Teng didn't say much, but his answer was a confirmation of her guess.
Luo Ya nodded. She stopped probing, but a glint of happiness flashed past her eyes.
Her teammates appeared delighted too.
With someone who was able to see the dark apparition helping them, they might really be able to escape unscathed from this crisis.
"Luo Ya…"
Suddenly, in this quiet environment, a weak voice was heard among the bushes at the side.
"Liao Long!" Luo Ya and her teammates exclaimed in shock.
"Save me, save me…" A black figure crawled out of the bushes. His voice was extremely hoarse and weak.
Half of his body was still behind the bushes, and only his upper body could be seen. He stretched his hand towards Luo Ya and her teammates like a person on the brink of death, begging for someone to help him.
Mist was everywhere. His face was shrouded in the shadow. They couldn't see it clearly.
"Liao Long, this is great. You're not dead." One of Luo Ya's teammates wanted to go forward, but the giant pulled him back.
"Kun Qi, what are you doing? Liao Long is injured. We need to save him!" the man who got stopped said frantically.
"Don't go. Something isn't right!" the giant, Kun Qi, said in a rough voice.
Wang Teng was about to remind them. With the help of his Spiritual Sight, he could see black lights shining around Liao Long. It was the same as the dark apparition.
What's going on? Wang Teng turned serious. He couldn't understand the situation.
"Save me…"
'Liao Long' was still pleading for help in a sorrowful voice. His companions couldn't bear to see him like this. While everyone was hesitating, Luo Ya walked towards him.
"Let me take a look."
"Luo Ya, don't go!" The dwarf wanted to stop her, but he saw her waving her hands secretly behind her back.

Chapter 145: Assimilation
"Liao Long, are you alright?" Luo Ya walked towards 'Liao Long' and asked in concern. "Where are you hurt? Do you have healing medicine?
"You can't move? Don't worry, we will save you and bring you back. We are comrades…"
She moved closer step by step. Towards the end, her voice got gentler, as if she was comforting the other person.
"Save me…"
'Liao Long' was still pleading for help. However, his voice was getting weaker. He was breathing in more air than he breathed out, as though he would die at any moment.
"Don't worry. I'll save you immediately!"
As Luo Ya spoke, they were already less than five meters away from each other. The moment she finished speaking, she suddenly shot forward. She rushed in front of the other party in an instant.
Wang Teng only saw a sharp sword light flashing in the dark. The speed of her attack was extremely fast. It felt as though the moment she took her sword out of its sheath, she had already stabbed 'Liao Long.'
"Luo Ya!"
Her three teammates' expressions changed. They didn't expect Luo Ya to attack 'Liao Long.'
They had also noticed something amiss, but they didn't want to attack 'Liao Long.' After all, he had been their teammate for many years.
Luo Ya's expression didn't change, though. A cold glint flashed past her eyes as she stabbed her long sword viciously into 'Liao Long's' body. She didn't care about their relationship at all.
Wang Teng's eyes widened. This lady left a strong impression on him.
She was sharp, decisive, and ruthless!
Wang Teng was able to notice the difference with the help of his Spiritual Sight. However, Luo Ya acted solely based on her observation and judgment.
It wasn't easy for her to make such a decision!
At first, he wanted to remind the other party, but when he noticed that she had another motive, he decided to wait and see.
Although the result was unexpected, he wasn't too shocked.
In the next instant, Luo Ya's teammates' expressions changed again. They shouted at her.
"Dodge!"
Almost at the same time, Luo Ya had already started moving. While the sword light slashed through the air, she tilted her body slightly. She pierced her battle sword behind her closer to her right side.
"This was what I was waiting for!"
There was a cold smile at the edge of her lips. She seemed to have been saving her energy for a long time. At this moment, her Force exploded, and the sword rays glowed brightly. It slashed towards the dark apparition with a loud sound.
Howl!
The dark apparition was finally hit. It let out a painful wail as blood spurted out of its chest. It flew backward.
"Let me kill you when you're injured!"
Wang Teng moved his body and stabbed the dark apparition with his battle sword.
Slash!
The sword penetrated the heart of the dark apparition.
The three members of Luo Ya's team followed closely behind him. The giant martial warrior held his battle mace and slammed it on the dark apparition's head.
Splat!
It shattered into pieces like a watermelon.
Such violence!
Wang Teng hurriedly jumped back to evade the red and white matter splattering everywhere.
"You are a step too late." The giant martial warrior, Kun Qi, laughed while speaking to his other two teammates.
"Kun Qi, how did you react so quickly today?" The dwarf martial warrior was frustrated, but he was curious too.
"I've been staring at this young man. The moment he moved, I moved too," Kun Qi said smartly.
"You can do this?"
The dwarf and the other man exchanged glances with each other.
Wang Teng looked at Kun Qi in surprise when he heard this. This big guy wasn't stupid!
Boom!
Just when everyone thought that the trouble was solved, blood spurted out of Luo Ya's back. Her entire body flew out.
"Luo Ya!"
Kun Qi and the other people screamed in shock as their expressions changed.
They looked at 'Liao Long.' He was actually standing up in an extremely weird posture.
His actions were a little stiff. The top half of his body was slouching, his shoulders were bent, and his joints were cracking loudly. He staggered as he stood up.
No one, including Wang Teng, saw how Luo Ya was attacked.
Kun Qi and the other two people rushed over and stood in front of Luo Ya to protect her.
"Luo Ya, how are you?"
"Cough! Fortunately, I managed to block some of the damage. I won't die yet." Luo Ya crawled up from the ground with difficulty.
Her left arm was injured, most likely fractured. If she didn't manage to defend herself just now, that attack would have cost her her life.
"Be careful of that thing. He seemed to have… been assimilated." Luo Ya's expression was serious. She thought for a moment before she managed to squeeze out this descriptive word.
They had heard of the dark apparition before, but this was their first time meeting one.
As for 'Liao Long's' current condition, they had never heard nor seen it before.
Everyone looked at 'Liao Long.'
At this moment, they finally saw his face. 'Liao Long's' face was very similar to the dark apparition's face. His eyes were scarlet, and strange black stripes covered his face. The dark green veins were popping out of his forehead, wriggling like snakes.
It looked disgusting and terrifying.
'Liao Long's' neck was severely mangled. Half of it was already bitten off. Fresh blood flowed out of his wound and trickled down his chest, thigh, and legs. It dripped onto the ground from his trouser legs.
"Stabbing his heart is useless. We need to smash his head," Luo Ya reminded everyone.
Wang Teng nodded. Luo Ya had already stabbed 'Liao Long's' heart. However, the other party didn't die and even managed to retaliate.
"What on earth is this!"
Kun Qi and the other people looked at 'Liao Long' with complicated expressions. They had sorrow on their faces as they gritted their teeth and cursed uncontrollably.
"KIll it. This thing is no longer your teammate," Wang Teng said.
"You don't need to tell us. Let our team deal with this," Kun Qi glared at Wang Teng and shouted in anger.
"Sure," Wang Teng said indifferently.
'Liao Long' staggered as he stood on the spot. Suddenly, it pounced forward without any warning. The clumsy movement just now had disappeared completely as it charged at Kun Qi and his teammates at an unprecedented speed. It started running on all fours like the dark apparition.
Luo Ya, Kun Qi, and their teammates released their full power. They wanted to send their teammate off personally and not let him remain as a monster.
However, the dark apparition was really difficult to deal with. They had already experienced it before. The 'Liao Long' in front of them was assimilating into a dark apparition. As time passed, it became more and more similar to a dark apparition. Darkness was its element. The martial warriors found it hard to tackle it.
Wang Teng didn't move. His gaze landed on the dark apparition that was already killed.
Dark Force*5
Beginner stage dark talent*1
Spirit*8
Three bubbles were floating above the corpse.
These three bubbles were different from the bubbles in the past. They were giving off a black glow.
Killing dark apparitions would drop attribute bubbles too!
Dark Force? Dark talent? Wang Teng was dumbfounded. There were such attributes too?
If he picked them up, would he become a dark apparition?
Wang Teng had his concerns. He couldn't help but hesitate. The system won't harm me, right?
Eventually, he gritted his teeth and picked up the three bubbles.
As the beginner stage dark talent merged into his body, Wang Teng felt a sense of intimacy with the darkness around him. It was as if he was able to turn invisible when he stood in the dark. No one would be able to find him.
Is this the dark talent?
There's dark Force too!
Wang Teng felt a weak Force in his Force nucleus. He could sense that the dark Force was different from the five elements and the other mutated Forces.
He couldn't state what exactly it was, but it was a natural difference.
The dark Force was colder and eerier. The five elements Forces and mutated Forces, even the ice Force, had a warm and vibrant feel.
Finally, it was the spirit attribute. The dark apparition had dropped 8 points of spirit. It was a surprise for Wang Teng. After all, no martial warriors had dropped this much spirit before.
Is there something special about dark apparitions? He thought to himself.

Chapter 146: Reporting
Just as he was wondering why the dark apparition had dropped so many points of spirit, Wang Teng remembered the insane and emotionless gaze in that pair of scarlet eyes.
An idea flashed through his mind!
Mental patients dropped spirit attributes.
Is there a similarity between dark apparitions and mental patients?
Obviously, there is!
Both their mental states don't seem normal.
Wang Teng felt that he had found the key point. He touched his chin and nodded to himself, complimenting himself for his cleverness.
Luo Ya and her teammates were having a heated battle behind him. It was getting fiercer and fiercer.
Wang Teng had his back towards them. He didn't even want to care about them at all. They told him that they didn't need his help, so they couldn't blame him for not lending them a hand.
He continued studying the dark talent and the dark Force. This dark Force made him very curious. Wang Teng could easily differentiate it from the other Forces.
He could even generalize the other Forces as 'light' Forces.
Of course, this was Wang Teng's thinking.
At that moment, he heard the shrill sound of air breaking behind him.
"Be…" Luo Ya opened her mouth to warn him.
However, there seemed to be eyes on Wang Teng's back. He didn't turn around. Instead, his spiritual power gushed out, and the black shadow behind him was thrown out.
"…Careful."
Luo Ya finally finished her sentence. She looked at 'Liao Long,' who got thrown off his feet and was slightly stunned.
"This is a good chance!"
It was Kun Qi again. The muscular giant was a big smart guy. He immediately grabbed this opportunity and launched an attack on the dark apparition.
Boom!
He struck out with his battle mace.
'Liao Long' burst into pieces on the spot!
KO!
An intense battle ended without any real threat.
Wang Teng finally turned around. He saw Luo Ya and her teammates panting heavily in a bedraggled state.
They were all injured, and blood covered their bodies. Although their comrade was dead, he had left them a 'beautiful' memory.
Wang Teng looked at the attribute bubbles dropped beside 'Liao Long's' body.
He picked them up.
Dark Force*4
Spirit*10
10 points of spirit attribute! This is even more than the dark apparition from before.
Despite being astounded, Wang Teng accepted them with a smile. After all, it was a happy thing for him.
He also received another 4 points of dark Force. The dark Force in his Force nucleus got a little stronger.
Wang Teng smiled at Luo Ya and her teammates as he said, "Tsk, tsk, why do you all look so disheveled?"
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense!" Luo Ya glared at him.
Wang Teng teased them, but he noticed that their expressions weren't looking good. Thus, he changed the topic and said, "Do you know what this dark apparition was?"
"Hmph, why should we tell you?" Luo Ya glared at him from the corner of her eyes.
"F*k, if I hadn't helped you just now, you all might have been dead by now," Wang Teng said furiously.
"Bullshit. The dark apparition forced you to come down. If not, you won't have acted," the dwarf also replied in anger.
"Sigh, what do you mean? I was resting peacefully on the tree. You were the ones who attracted the dark apparition here. Why are you still complaining?" Wang Teng glared at him.
"You…"
"You what you?"
"Alright. Since this is a misunderstanding, there's no point in arguing. A dark apparition appeared here. We should hurry up and get rid of its corpse. To prevent changes, let's leave as quickly as possible," said Luo Ya.
Wang Teng and the dwarf stopped talking.
He looked at Luo Ya and her teammates as they cut a piece of meat off the body of the dark apparition before burning the corpse. No traces were left.
However, when they were burning 'Liao Long's' body, they did so with a heavy heart.
"Let's go." Luo Ya said, "Let's leave this place first. I know what you want to ask, but we don't know much either. After we go back to the city and report this matter, you might be able to get some insider information from the military."
"The military?" Wang Teng frowned. "Are you referring to Xingwu Continent's military or Earth's military?"
While he was speaking, he remained vigilant. Although both parties were on peaceful terms, he didn't know if Luo Ya and her teammates would suddenly change their minds.
"We need to inform both parties." Luo Ya gave Wang Teng a meaningful glance.
"Both!" Wang Teng instantly got dumbstruck. By right, Luo Ya and her teammates were citizens of the Xingwu Continent. Naturally, they should inform the Xingwu Continent's military.
"That's right. More than twenty years ago, the higher authorities gave us an order. Once we discover the presence of dark apparitions, we need to inform both militaries."
Wang Teng didn't expect this answer.
"The military is keeping a close watch on dark apparitions?" This was a question, but his tone was certain.
"Indeed. Dark apparitions are extremely dangerous. Also, recently, more and more dark apparitions have appeared in the Xingwu continent. Many martial warriors got killed by them. The events incited fear in the masses," Luo Ya said.
"Dark apparitions only appeared in the recent years?" Wang Teng asked.
"Not necessary. They just appeared more frequently in recent years, so the military made their presence public. It was said that they did appear in the past, but not many people knew about them," Luo Ya said.
"Let's walk and talk. This is an important matter. We need to hurry back as soon as possible."
She called everyone to leave as she spoke.
While Wang Teng hesitated, she said, "Even if you don't go to the military today, they will look for you."
"It looks like they take dark apparitions very seriously."
Wang Teng didn't doubt Luo Ya's words. He didn't hesitate any more and followed them.
A few hours later, the group left the Dark Mist Forest under the night sky. They took their vehicles from the Dark Mist Town and drove back to Yong City.
It was worth mentioning that Luo Ya and her team came from Yong City too.
Actually, this was because Yong City was the only big city in this area.
The other cities were relatively far away. If those people wanted to enter the Dark Mist Forest, they would use other entrances.
After returning to Yong City, Wang Teng and Luo Ya's team headed directly to the military district.
Of course, they split up.
Luo Ya and her team went to look for the Xingwu Continent's military while Wang Teng headed to the camp of the Earth's military.
Before he left, he even inquired about the location of the military camp. He didn't know where they were stationed.
South district of Yong City, at a forbidden section of the military camp.
The moment Wang Teng reached the entrance, he was stopped.
"Stop right there!"
A cold shout was heard. The next moment, more than ten muzzles pointed at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng immediately raised his hands to show that he was harmless.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot. I'm a martial warrior from Jixin Martial House. I came here because I have something very important to report."
"A martial warrior from Jixin Martial House!"
The guards' expressions softened a little. However, they didn't let down their guards.
"Take out your credentials and cooperate with our inspection!"
Wang Teng took out his martial warrior credential.
He was afraid that the guards would accidentally fire and kill him if they saw him hesitate. He wouldn't know what to do if that happened.
After a round of strict inspection, they confirmed Wang Teng's identity and shifted the muzzles away.
"What do you have to report?" one of the guards asked.
"Dark apparition!"
The guard's expression changed when he heard these two words. He said in a serious tone, "Follow me!"

Chapter 147: Secret
Wang Teng was brought to a meeting room in the military camp, where he was received by another person.
The soldier attending to him had informed the higher authorities. He asked Wang Teng to wait in the room.
Wang Teng waited for approximately ten minutes before hearing hurried footsteps outside the door. There seemed to be more than one person.
The next instant, the huge door opened.
"Did you say that you met a dark apparition in the Dark Mist Forest?"
The voice was heard before the person appeared!
A refined figure with a powerful aura dressed in a military uniform walked in with large strides.
Wang Teng couldn't help but look at him.
"This is the top person-in-charge of our military district, General Shen!" The soldier that received Wang Teng introduced the person to him.
"General Shen!" Wang Teng immediately stood up and greeted him with respect. "Yes, I met a dark apparition with another Xingwu Continent martial warrior team in the Dark Mist Forest."
He explained what happened in detail before the other party could ask him. After he finished, Wang Teng took out the piece of meat he cut off from the dark apparition.
"I cut this from the dark apparition's body. It's inconvenient to bring the entire corpse back, so we burnt it into ashes. You can inspect this piece."
"What you did is right. If you don't get rid of the dark apparition's body immediately, it will infect the other living things." General Shen nodded. Then, he spoke to a soldier beside him, "Little Li, bring this for examination."
The soldier immediately took the piece of meat and left.
"Did you say that there was a Xingwu Continent martial warrior team with you?" General Shen asked.
"Yes, they were the ones who discovered the dark apparition first and coincidentally led it to my hiding place. The dark apparition saw me, so I had to act," said Wang Teng.
"Have they reported it to the Xingwu Continent's military?" General Shen asked.
"Yes, after we entered the city, we parted ways. They went to the Xingwu Continent's military district while I came here." Wang Teng nodded.
After some time, the soldier called Little Li came back. He was holding a report in his hand, which he passed to General Shen.
"It's indeed a dark apparition." General Shen turned serious. He said to Wang Teng, "Thank you for reporting this. This is very important."
"You're too polite!" Wang Teng felt overwhelmed by his kind attitude.
"Relax, I don't eat humans." General Shen smiled. "You're Wang Teng, right? I heard from Old Fu that the top scholar of the martial arts exam in Donghai this year is a rare genius. It must be you."
"Old Fu?" Wang Teng was confused.
"Fu Tiandao, the principal of Donghai's Jixin Martial House," General Shen explained.
"Oh, you know our principal," replied Wang Teng.
"Hahaha, we are old friends," General Shen smiled and said.
"You're from Donghai too?" Wang Teng asked again.
"That's right."
The two of them chatted for some time. Wang Teng hesitated before asking, "General Shen, what is this dark apparition?"
"You must have heard about the increase in enrolment for the martial arts exam this year, right?" General Shen didn't give a direct answer. Instead, he looked at Wang Teng meaningfully.
"Could it be…" Wang Teng's expression changed.
"That's right, it's exactly what you think. We need to deal with the dark apparitions," General Shen said.
"Why? Even if there's a need to deal with the dark apparitions, it's Xingwu Continent's job. Why do we need to waste so much effort? Dark apparitions are so dangerous. Many martial warriors must have died in their hands." Wang Teng couldn't help but reason with him.
"We need to enroll more martial disciples because many martial warriors have been sacrificed. As for the reason…" General Shen stared at Wang Teng before continuing, "I can only tell you that our Earth isn't safe either. If we don't take the necessary precautions, we will become victims sooner or later."
"The Earth is not safe!"
In an instant, Wang Teng's mind cleared up.
He understood!
He understood everything!
Why was the dimensional rift so heavily guarded? Why were there military troops stationed in the Xingwu Continent? Why was there an increased enrollment for the martial arts exam…
The many doubts he had were finally answered.
"If not, why do you think martial warriors enjoy such a high status? The more benefits they enjoy, the greater their responsibility," General Shen said.
"I understand." Wang Teng's mouth was a little dry.
He realized that he seemed to have discovered some huge secret. His heart felt really heavy.
"Don't worry too much. The Earth is safe for now. We have martial warriors at the frontline, so the situation is under control," General Shen thought that he was worried about the safety of the Earth, so he consoled Wang Teng.
"Do students like us have to go to the frontline and fight with dark apparitions in the future?" Wang Teng asked.
"Not necessary. Some martial arts students won't choose the actual combat path. They might take office jobs in the future. They don't need to go to the frontline," General Shen explained patiently.
Wang Teng remained silent for some time. Then, he asked, "What's the frontline like?"
"Once you enter university, you will have a chance to see it. Not all dark apparitions are like the ones you met. That's just the lowest level one. There are higher-level dark apparitions too. Those are the real frightening things," General Shen said.
"Can I ask one last question?"
"Go ahead."
"Where do dark apparitions come from?" Wang Teng asked.
This time, General Shen hesitated for a few seconds. Finally, he said, "Nevermind, you will know it sooner or later. They come from the abyss!"
"Abyss!" Wang Teng couldn't help but repeat.
General Shen didn't continue speaking. Wang Teng was sensible and didn't probe further either. He stood up and took his leave.
"We'll meet again if fate allows it." General Shen stood up.
The soldier who received Wang Teng sent him to the gates of the military district.
"Thank you, you can stop here," Wang Teng said.
"This is the first time I saw General Shen talking to someone unfamiliar for such a long time," the soldier smiled and said.
"Should I feel honored?" Wang Teng looked deep into the military district.
The soldier who received him looked at him ambiguously. He didn't speak anymore, though. He waved at Wang Teng and turned around to walk back to the military camp.
Since Wang Teng had returned to Yong City, he decided to go back to Earth.
As for the dark apparition, the military would take care of it. He couldn't be of any help anyway.
If the sky fell, the tall people would hold onto it.
Dimensional rift.
Wang Teng stayed outside the dimensional rift for some time and picked up another round of space attributes. Then, he left in satisfaction.
Space*1.5
He returned to his rented house in the university town.
Wang Teng had already taken off his battle uniform. He carried his weapon carrier casket and looked worn and weary.
After the series of events, it was already 8 in the morning.
The three ladies next door were just leaving for work. They coincidentally saw Wang Teng, who was opening his door.
"Wang Teng!"
Yan Xin shouted with uncertainty.
She hadn't seen Wang Teng in a month. She knocked on his door a few times and wanted to ask him out to play.
However, Wang Teng wasn't home. She thought that he was ignoring her and felt dejected for some time.
Now that she saw Wang Teng, he seemed to have just come back from a trip.

Wang Teng had just taken out his keys and was opening the door when he heard someone calling his name. He turned around and looked back.
When he saw who it was, he smiled and said, "So, it's you guys. Are you leaving for work?"
"Yes. You… just came back from a trip?" asked Yan Xin.
Wang Teng nodded. "Yes, I was out for a month and just returned."
"No wonder no one answered. We knocked on your door a few times," Sun Xiuyun exclaimed.
"Junior Brother Wang, do you know that our Little Xinxin thought that you were ignoring her when you didn't answer the door? She was so sad," Li Qian didn't forget to tease her roommate.
"Hey, what are you saying?" Yan Xin's face blushed red like a peach. She rushed forward and wanted to cover her bestie's mouth.
"Ah~ murder…" Li Qian shouted and moved aside to evade Yan Xin.
"Don't mind her. She's talking nonsense," Yan Xin said to Wang Teng shyly.
"It's alright."
"Then… we will be leaving for work," Yan Xin said.
"Alright."
Wang Teng watched the three ladies as they left. He shook his head and walked into the courtyard, closing the door behind him.
He bathed and had a comfortable sleep. When he got up, he felt reinvigorated. The exhaustion on his body was completely gone.
In the afternoon, Wang Teng slowly headed to Jixin Martial House.
He had killed a huge number of star beasts during his trip to the Xingwu Continent, and his space ring was packed with all kinds of star beast materials. He needed to get rid of them as quickly as possible.
However, the space ring was a precious item and came from an unknown source. Thus, he mustn't expose it.
Hence, before he left, he took out a portion of the star beast materials and stuffed them into a big bag. Then, he brought it to the Jixin Martial House to trade.
Two hours later, he came out of Jixin Martial House with a smile on his face. It looked like his gains were not bad.
For the next two days, Wang Teng continued taking out a portion of the star beast materials and pretended that he just came back from the Xingwu Continent. He used the same method and brought the materials to Jixin Martial House to sell.
"He's here again!"
"How many star beasts did Wang Teng kill? He has so many star beast materials."
"It has been three days. He brought so many ingredients every day. Even if he hides them in the Xingwu Continent, he will need a cave."
"This is not the most important thing. The main thing is, he has only been to the Xingwu Continent twice and has already killed so many star beasts. Are newbies nowadays all so powerful?"
"Haha, I don't think so. I think only Wang Teng is so powerful!"
Surprised voices were heard continuously. Many people were flabbergasted when they saw Wang Teng bringing piles and piles of star beast materials to exchange or sell.
On the third day, even Lin Zhan and his teammates came because they heard the news.
"Wang Teng, you went to the Xingwu Continent alone and even killed so many star beasts?" Lin Zhan looked at the big pile of star beast materials on the ground in astonishment.
"Haha, I couldn't control myself, so I went." Wang Teng felt a little awkward.
Lin Zhan had reminded him not to go to the Xingwu Continent alone in the past. He promised him on the surface, yet he still went secretly.
"Forget it. If I knew you were so powerful, I wouldn't have stopped you." Lin Zhan sighed.
"Good riddance, Brother Wang Teng, you must have earned a few hundred million." Liu Yan's eyes were glittering.
"I earned quite a bit." Wang Teng didn't answer directly.
"Where did you hide these things? How did you manage to collect so many before transporting them back?" Yan Jinming asked curiously.
Wang Teng's heart stopped beating. He racked his mind before coming up with a reason. "I found a secluded cave and set some traps to prevent star beasts from getting in."
"You're really lucky. Other people have tried this before, but the locations all got taken by star beasts. You need to be careful next time," Yan Jinming replied.
"It seems like my luck is not bad." Wang Teng nodded as he pondered to himself.
While the few of them were chatting, the staff had finished counting the materials.
After selling his items in batches over the past few days, Wang Teng finally sold all the materials he collated.
The space ring was cleared.
He received a total of 580 million.
It was unwise to look down on these materials just because they were 1-star star beast materials. If enough of them were gathered, you could earn a lot.
Lin Zhan and his teammates pulled Wang Teng out and forced him to treat them when they saw how much he had earned.
At a high-class restaurant.
The few of them gathered around a table. There were all kinds of seafood, star beast meat, and fruits on the table.
They heartily ate and enjoyed the extravagant meal.
While dining, they talked about Wang Teng's experience during this trip to the Xingwu Continent. Wang Teng told them about the dark apparition.
"You actually met that thing!" Lin Zhan said with a stern expression.
"Dark apparitions are extremely dangerous. Did you get hurt?" Liu Yan asked in concern.
"I'm fine. There was another martial warriors team from the Xingwu Continent at that time. They got hurt," Wang Teng replied.
They thought that Wang Teng was able to return to Earth safely because of the martial warrior team's help, so they commented on his luck again.
"I wonder if you're unlucky or lucky. Other people might not be able to have this experience even if they went to the Xingwu Continent ten times, but you had it on your first time. Fortunately, you are safe." Liu Yan was speechless.
"Haha, that can't be helped. I can't control it." Wang Teng laughed awkwardly.
"Did you report it to the military?" asked Lin Zhan.
"Yes. General Shen from Yong City came to look for me personally."
"General Shen!" Lin Zhan was shocked. He exclaimed, "You met him? He's the most powerful person in Yong City's military. It's hard to meet him."
"Maybe it's because they place high importance on dark apparitions." Wang Teng shook his head. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Oh, do you know about the frontline battleground?"
"You even know about the frontline battleground?" Lin Zhan and his teammates looked at him in astonishment.
They only got to know of this insider news after being in the martial warriors' world for a few years. Wang Teng just entered the Xingwu Continent twice, but he already knew so many things.
They weren't looking down on Wang Teng. It was just that you wouldn't be able to get in touch with some things if you didn't reach a certain status.
If your level was too low and you didn't have enough ability, knowing too many things wouldn't be an advantage. You might even lose your life because of it.
"General Shen told me," Wang Teng said. When he saw his teammates' expressions, he knew that this frontline battleground was not a trivial matter.
"No wonder!" Lin Zhan and his team members were enlightened. At the same time, they felt even more astounded.
General Shen told Wang Teng such things. This meant that he had high hopes for Wang Teng. If not, why would someone like him speak to an ordinary martial warrior?
Since General Shen had already told him, they had nothing to hide.
Lin Zhan contemplated for some time before answering, "The frontline battleground is the source of the dark apparitions. The military stopped the invasion of dark apparitions there to prevent them from wreaking havoc."
"The source… abyss!" Wang Teng said this word slowly.
"You know this too? General Shen told you?" Lin Zhan asked.
"Of course. Who else could have told me?"
"I don't have anything for you. This is all we know."
"What is the abyss?"
"I'm not sure either." Lin Zhan shook his head.
Wang Teng asked a few more questions, and Lin Zhan answered them selectively. However, they didn't do much.
After finishing their meal, the group walked out of the restaurant and prepared to leave.
"We will be going to the Xingwu Continent again soon. This time, we'll be heading to the middle circle. Do you want to go together?" Lin Zhan asked before they parted.
"Middle circle!" Wang Teng repeated. In his heart, he was shocked. He hesitated before saying, "I'm starting school soon. I don't know if I will be able to find some time."
"We have to prepare first. Before leaving, we'll contact you again. You can decide if you want to go then," Lin Zhan said.
Wang Teng nodded. He bade farewell to his teammates, but he didn't return to his rented house in the university town. Instead, he went to Fuhua Villa District… He went home.

Chapter 149: Flames
Outside Fuhua Villa District.
Wang Teng paid for his taxi and was just about to get down. At this moment, the driver suddenly said, "Something seems to have happened in the Fuhua Villa District. There are flames in front. I didn't know that accidents would happen in high-class districts too. Should I call the police? Forget it. The district's management should have called the police already. There's no one at the gantry…"
The driver was muttering to himself. Wang Teng only heard his first few sentences, though. After that, his expression changed, and he dashed down the car.
He looked at the small district. Indeed, he saw a patch of flame rising up into the sky.
Instantly, his expression underwent another change… The fire was in the direction of his house!
"Damn it!"
Wang Teng stomped his feet on the ground.
Crack… boom!
The sound of the air exploding resounded. Wang Teng had already turned into flashes of lingering shadows as he sped to his house.
The driver was dumbstruck. He looked at Wang Teng's back view in a daze before exclaiming in astonishment, "Oh my god, this fellow is a martial warrior at such a young age! No wonder he can afford to live in a villa!"
The district was in a mess.
It was noon, so many people were still at work. Most of the people at home were housewives and children.
This huge fire had definitely attracted the attention of many house owners in this area. After calling the police, they rushed out of their houses and stood on their tiptoes as they looked in the direction of the fire.
"What happened? How did a fire start?"
"Who knows? I was just preparing to take my afternoon nap when I saw the flames and rushed out."
"Did you call the management?"
"They must have known about it already."
Discussions were heard everywhere. People liked to watch a commotion, especially housewives. They were extremely bored. If they had things to chat about, they didn't know any other way to pass their time.
This huge matter was enough for them to discuss for many days.
"Babe, don't run around. It's very dangerous."
"No, I want to take a look. What a huge fire…"
A young mother around 30 years old was pulling her son, who was about seven years old. This naughty child was like a frisky Husky. He wanted to go wherever the commotion was.
In the end, he got beaten by his mother and cried. He finally stopped fooling around.
Wang Teng ran past this mother and son at high speed. They only saw a flash of lingering shadow and the strong wind blowing past them.
"What was that just now?"
"It looked like a person!"
"This speed… he's a martial warrior!"
"Mom, what's a martial warrior? Can you eat it? Is it nice?"
"Stupid brat, don't spout nonsense. Martial warriors will run to your window in the middle of the night and eat humans. Are you afraid?"
Wang Teng: …
A martial warrior's sense of hearing was exceptional. When Wang Teng heard this sentence, he almost staggered and fell to the ground, even though he was in an emergency.
"Did you know that something happened to Wang Fugui's house?"
"Ah, Wang Fugui, the nouveau riche dealing in property?"
"Yes, that's him. I heard that he harmed someone in the past. The person's son became a martial warrior and came to take revenge."
"A martial warrior taking revenge? This is hard to manage."
"You're right. The martial warrior has the right to take revenge. That's why you shouldn't earn dishonest money…"
Wang Teng heard a few women talking when he ran past them.
"Wang Fugui!"
He felt slightly more relieved. It looked like his family wasn't in trouble.
He knew Wang Fugui. Wang Shengguo had mentioned this person a few times at home. However, unlike the opinions of these few ladies, Wang Shengguo had mixed comments about him.
Wang Fugui was born in a village. Everyone knew that a person born with a low status had a harder time if they wanted to be successful.
It was more so for someone like him who wasn't educated and didn't have a family supporting him. He had to rely on himself.
When he came to Donghai City, he started doing some small business. Gradually, he got to know some people in the underground world. That was when he began building his fortune.
He built a name for himself, and ordinary people didn't dare to provoke him. However, after a few years, his reputation got cleared, and he changed. He started doing legal businesses and would occasionally attend some charity dinners. He donated vast sums of money each time.
Even so, there were many people who looked down on him. They scoffed at his method of doing things.
This was how humans were. They were always looking for a sense of superiority in other people.
The wealthy looked down on the ordinary people who crawled up from the bottom. They felt that these people were nouveau riche.
But, if you thought about it carefully, who didn't crawl up from the bottom?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar, but he still became an emperor in the end.
Heroes could come from anywhere!
Unfortunately, people nowadays had long forgotten this saying.
"Auntie Xiao, did you say that Wang Fugui is in trouble?" Wang Teng stopped to confirm.
"Aiyo, it's Little Teng. You're back!" The woman called Auntie Xiao looked at Wang Teng and started smiling brightly. This was the top scholar of the martial arts exam, a true-blue martial warrior. There was no harm in forging a good relationship with him.
She immediately replied, "Yes, I went over to take a look secretly. The martial warrior shouted it himself. He asked others not to interfere."
"Thank you. I thought that something happened to my family." Wang Teng nodded. He finally felt at ease.
"It isn't your family. However, you better rush home to take a look. Your house is so near. You might get implicated," Auntie Xiao reminded him kindly.
"You're right. I'll leave first."
"Alright, hurry up and go."
Auntie Xiao watched Wang Teng as he ran off. She couldn't help but sigh. She said to the women beside her, "In the past, he was a playful rich second generation who liked to goof around and drink. I didn't expect him to change so much. Look at how polite he was just now."
"You're right. Wang Shengguo is a lucky man. His son is so promising. The Wang family doesn't have to worry about their future." A woman beside her agreed.
Another woman said in envy, "They don't have to worry. They might even be able to progress further."
"Sigh, look at Wang Teng. The brat at home only knows how to anger me…" Auntie Xiao said with exasperation.
"Let me tell you, you should ask your husband to beat your son properly tonight. He will become obedient. If one beating isn't enough, do it a few more times. He would definitely turn obedient one day."
Auntie Xiao nodded in deep thought.
In a certain pub, a young man who was playing a game with some beauties suddenly shivered.
What's wrong? Is the aircon too strong? The young man wondered curiously.
"Young Master Xiao, what's the matter?" the beauty beside him asked.
"Nothing. Little beauty, let's continue playing. I'm coming… hahaha!"
"Young Master Xiao, come and catch me. If you catch me, I will allow you to…"
Wang Fugui's house was engulfed in flames. The management staff stood around the house with fire extinguishers, but none of them dared to go forward. If the fire burned the surrounding objects, they would immediately put it out to prevent other houses from getting implicated.
This was the best result. The martial warrior only wanted to take revenge on Wang Fugui's family. As long as they didn't extinguish the fire in Wang Fugui's house, the martial warrior wouldn't care about them. He had said so personally.
However, when they looked at the scene in front of them, many people still found it hard to endure.
A young man was holding a spear in his hand as he stood on the grass in front. Flames were circling the tip of the spear. He looked imposing.
But, at this moment, the tip of the spear was pointed at a girl around 4 years old.

Chapter 150: Chopped Off Your Arm
Li Xiumei stood in the crowd and looked at the crying girl sprawled on the ground. She felt her heart ache.
Their family didn't have a deep relationship with Wang Fugui. They were only acquaintances.
However, Li Xiumei had some interactions with Wang Fugui's wife. Normally, they would drink tea and chat together. They would talk about topics only discussed between ladies.
She didn't expect that lady to die in this fire.
Li Xiumei was very familiar with this young girl. In fact, she loved her dearly. This girl had not only lost her parents but she might be killed too…
"Doudou…" Li Xiumei couldn't bear it and rushed forward. She protected the girl behind her.
Looking at the indifferent young man, she plucked up her courage and said, "She's just a child. Let her go."
"Auntie… Li… Sob… Doudou is scared…" When the girl saw a familiar person, she immediately hugged Li Xiumei's leg and started crying.
Li Xiumei hugged her with a painful expression on her face. She patted the girl and comforted her, "Don't be scared. Auntie Li is here."
"Move." A hint of struggle appeared in the indifferent young man's eyes. However, it was soon replaced by coldness.
"No matter how strong your hatred is, you shouldn't attack a child. She's innocent," Li Xiumei said.
"My parents were innocent too. But, they died under the hands of Wang Fugui. At that time, no one spoke up for them," said the young man.
Li Xiumei didn't know what to say. She just stared at the young man in front of her. She could see the pain hiding behind his cold expression. Therefore, she wasn't able to stand on the moral high ground and reprimand the other party.
"Let her go. I won't kill you," the cold young man said.
Li Xiumei could feel the girl trembling in her arms. She hugged her tightly and gritted her teeth. She didn't say anything, nor did she move.
"I will kill you too."
The young man released his aura. It bore down on Li Xiumei's body.
"I'm terribly sorry for what happened to your parents, but the child is innocent." Li Xiumei resisted the other party's aura with difficulty. Her face was pale, but composure persevered.
"There's no point in talking anymore. Since you don't want to move, I'll kill you too."
The indifferent young man's face turned cold, and he stabbed his spear out.
When Wang Teng came, this was the scene he saw. His pupils constricted into needle points. He was so angry that his eyes almost popped out. He let out a thunderous roar, "You're looking for death!"
Wang Teng pulled his battle sword out of the sheath, and sword light flashed through the air.
Slash!
The sword light arrived first, even though he had attacked later. An arm was severed from the body and sent flying into the air.
The bystanders were stunned by this gruesome scene. They were at a loss for a second. Then, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to look anymore.
Li Xiumei pressed the girl's head down. She didn't want her to see this scene.
Wang Teng's body moved. He appeared in front of Li Xiumei.
"Son!" Li Xiumei heaved a sigh of relief in her heart when she saw Wang Teng's back view.
"Mom, it's alright. I'm here." Wang Teng turned around and smiled. Then, he looked at the young man coldly. "I don't care about your grudges, but since you dared to attack my mother, I took your arm."
Although the young man's arm was chopped, he just snorted in pain. When he got down to pick up his severed arm, large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. However, he gritted his teeth tightly and looked at Wang Teng, unwilling to back down.
"Your attack had no killing intent. If not, I would have killed you.
"Are you unwilling to admit defeat? You are weaker than me now. There's no point in resisting. I will give you a chance and let you go today. When you feel that you can beat me, you can come and take revenge for your severed arm. My name is Wang Teng," Wang Teng scoffed and said.
"Wang Teng!" The young man repeated the name in a hoarse voice. He looked at Wang Teng and said, "My name is Yan Qing. I will remember this grudge."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his arm and turned to leave.
Wang Teng didn't stop him. To him, this young man was just a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. He posed no threat.
He was a 3-star martial warrior now. He would only become stronger in the future.
Did he think that the young man would catch up with him? Haha, what a joke. As a bug, if he got surpassed by someone, he wouldn't have the face to continue living.
Also, his mother shouldn't have interfered with the revenge of a martial warrior. That was the cause of everything. But, since his mother decided to do this, he had nothing to say. As her son, he could only accept her actions.
After taking a few steps, Yan Qing suddenly turned around and asked, "Is it worth it?"
He was asking Li Xiumei. There was pent-up anger in his gaze that he couldn't get rid of.
"There's no such thing as worth it or not. I'm just following my heart," Li Xiumei's expression softened a little as she said.
Yan Qing stood on the spot and pondered for some time. Then, he nodded and left while staggering.
"Son, what if this person can't untangle the knot in his heart and find you for revenge in the future?" Li Xiumei asked him worriedly.
"Mom, are you asking me to kill him to solve all troubles?" Wang Teng smiled as he asked.
"You little brat, I didn't say that." Li Xiumei rolled her eyes. Am I that kind of person?
At this moment, the management staff and the neighbors finally regained their composure. Their gazes landed on Wang Teng in unison. There was astonishment, fear, and respect in their eyes.
He had chopped the person's arm so decisively without even blinking his eyes.
Are you afraid now!
Normal people like them had never seen this kind of scene before!
Martial warriors!
This was what a martial warrior was like!
The other party came furiously to annihilate Wang Fugui's family. He burned the house and killed the people inside. In the end, Wang Teng chopped his arm and forced him back.
The Wang family had given birth to the son of a dragon!
Many people exclaimed as they felt envious of Wang Shengguo and his wife. Their ancestors must be elated to have a descendant like him.
The police, City Protection Bureau, and ambulance arrived quickly.
The fire at the scene was put out. Two stretchers with white cloths covering them were transported out of the house and carried into the vehicles.
Doudou had experienced so many things. She cried sorrowfully in Li Xiumei's arms for a long time. Then, she fell asleep out of exhaustion.
The police and the people from the City Protection Bureau were confirming the situation with the residents at the side. They were recording their statements.
After they knew what happened, they came to Wang Teng's house.
One of the people was the leader of No. 3 small team from the City Protection Bureau, Chai Yu. He was the one investigating the case on Mount Bao'an. At this moment, though, his emotions were entirely different from the last time.
He wasn't able to view Wang Teng as an ordinary high school student anymore. Wang Teng was the top scholar in the martial arts exam. He was a martial warrior!
Meaning? Many influential people knew him.
Without a doubt, Chai Yu was almost certain that Wang Teng was the culprit of the Mount Bao'an case. This fellow had disguised himself really well.
But, this matter could only end without a conclusion. There was no point in provoking a martial warrior with a huge potential for the sake of a few dead people.
No matter how powerful the City Protection Bureau was, they wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"Leader Chai, we meet again." Wang Teng saw Chai Yu coming into his house, so he smiled and stood up.
"This means that we are fated." Chai Yu smiled. However, he was cursing in his heart. "I came over because we had some questions about what happened just now."
As Chai Yu got nearer, he released the aura belonging to a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior.
Even if he couldn't do anything to Wang Teng, he could let him suffer a little.
Chai Yu thought to himself evilly.
Wang Teng smiled. He took a step forward and released his aura of a 3-star martial warrior. There was killing intent in his aura.
"Leader Chai, please ask away. I'll definitely cooperate with you and tell you everything I know."
Chai Yu's expression changed slightly. At the moment, waves of emotions were churning in his heart. How did Wang Teng become so strong? This aura didn't belong to a newbie. Only someone who had been through numerous battles would possess such a powerful and malicious aura.
Fighter martial warrior!
This was a real fighter martial warrior!

Chapter 151: Your Mom Is Forever Your Mom
A fighter martial warrior didn't mean a martial warrior who knew how to fight.
Martial warriors already possessed certain abilities. Which martial warrior didn't know how to fight?
Compared to ordinary people, they were naturally beyond their reach.
However, many martial warriors didn't want to go onto the fighter's path. They just treated the martial warrior path as an experience and used it to seek higher positions.
It was like a degree. In many big companies, people with low education found it difficult to seek higher positions unless they were very competent and got promoted exclusively. But, this was just the minority. Only people with a certain degree and decent capabilities could become directors or CEOs.
In this martial arts era, many positions with real power could only be taken by martial warriors.
The martial warriors who didn't participate in battles and took office positions were non-fighter martial warriors.
Of course, the fighter martial warriors were slightly different from people like Chai Yu too. Chai Yu only apprehended criminals in the city. He had the ability, but he couldn't be compared to someone like Wang Teng, who had killed numerous star beasts in the Xingwu Continent, or the martial warriors who fought with their lives on the battlefield.
He could only be considered an actual combat martial warrior.
Only someone who had experienced many battles was a fighter martial warrior!
These two kinds of martial warriors might be on the same star level, but the true ability of fighter martial warriors was higher than actual combat martial warriors. If they had a duel, the fighter martial warriors would have an 80% chance of winning.
This was why Chai Yu's expression changed abruptly when he sensed the aura on Wang Teng.
He couldn't be wrong. This was definitely the aura of a fighter martial warrior!
Also, Wang Teng had become a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. Chai Yu looked at the smiling young man standing in front of him. His throat suddenly felt a little dry.
"Young Master Wang, you're too polite. This is just a formality. We only need to take your statement," Chai Yu swallowed his saliva secretly as he smiled in embarrassment and said.
Chai Yu wasn't afraid of Wang Teng. The power of the City Protection Bureau couldn't be moved by a mere 3-star martial warrior. He just felt that there was no need to be on bad terms with this person.
He recorded Wang Teng's statement absent-mindedly and then got up. He wanted to leave with his men.
His subordinates beside him were shocked. What was wrong with their leader? This didn't seem like his usual self.
"Oh right, this child…" Chai Yu said hesitantly as he looked at Doudou, who was sleeping soundly in Li Xiumei's arms.
"This child just lost her parents. I am worried about her. Can you let her stay at my house for the time being?" Li Xiumei asked.
"Of course. Then I'll have to trouble Mrs. Wang to take care of her," Chai Yu smiled and replied politely.
"If there's nothing else, we'll leave first."
"Have a safe trip."
Wang Teng sent them to the door and then returned to the living room. He looked at Li Xiumei and asked, "Mom, what do you plan to do with Doudou?"
Wang Teng knew the child in Li Xiumei's arms. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at her pitiful state and remembered her encounter. He didn't know what to do either.
"Let her stay at our house first. In the past, I heard her mother saying that Wang Fugui's relatives aren't good people. After Wang Fugui got rich, they wanted to take advantage of him."
"They knew that Doudou was their only child, so some people wanted to arrange a child betrothal between her and their son. Others wanted Wang Fugui to adopt their son as his. What kind of people are they? What intention do they have? If Doudou landed in their hands, her future is hard to predict." Li Xiumei was filled with righteous indignation as she spoke. She almost slammed the table and cursed.
"Hmph, these people don't have any capabilities, so they wanted to take the result of others." Wang Teng smiled. "Don't be angry. You don't even know them. There's no point."
"Since you're worried, we can let Doudou stay in our house. We can afford to feed another mouth. If those people dare to cause trouble, I will let them understand why the flower is red."
"You little brat. Ever since you started practicing martial arts, you have become more and more violent. Also, you chopped off that person's arm directly. I felt a chill in my heart. Aren't you worried about scaring your mother?" Li Xiumei said angrily.
"I was worried about your safety." Wang Teng laughed awkwardly. He felt a little guilty.
He could kill others without blinking his eyes, but in front of Li Xiumei, he couldn't stand up to her.
Your mom was forever your mom!
"Alright, I'm too lazy to lecture you. I don't care about anything, but you must ensure your safety," said Li Xiumei.
"Okay, okay. I will evade any dangers and make sure that I remain safe," Wang Teng promised hurriedly.
Li Xiumei nodded. "You have a few days until school starts. Don't run away now. Your grandfathers had already asked for you many times. Let's find a day to organize your graduation banquet."
"Alright." Wang Teng nodded. He asked, "Oh right, Mom, didn't I give you the consent to buy a house in 'Deer Garden'? Why didn't you buy a house there? The security there is excellent. Something like this won't happen there."
Li Xiumei smiled uncontrollably when she heard this. "We went to take a look. We can afford the smaller apartments, but your dad wants to buy a villa. However, he didn't have enough money, so he couldn't buy it."
She couldn't help but remember Wang Shengguo's frustrated look when they went to see the house that day. It was a rare sight.
Wang Teng burst out laughing. So this was the reason. He asked, "How much does a villa cost there?"
"The one that your dad had his eyes on is the same size as our current house. However, it costs 300 million. Your dad recently invested in a project, so he doesn't have much liquid capital," Li Xiumei said.
300 million! The houses at Deer Garden were really expensive. Wang Teng was secretly shocked. However, he still said, "Let's go and take a look together tonight. I recently hit the jackpot. We can buy the villa immediately, and you can move over as soon as possible. It will make me less worried."
He had just earned 500 million and needed to fork out 300 million already. It was always so easy to spend money.
"Son, did you hear me correctly? It's 300 million, not 30 million. Where did you get so much money?" Li Xiumei didn't take it to heart. She thought that Wang Teng had heard wrong.
"Your son is a martial warrior now. Earning 300 million is a simple task," Wang Teng said delightedly.
"Don't tease me. I know that martial warriors earn money easily, but you need time. Besides, your level has to be really high in order to earn more. You just became a martial warrior not long ago. How can you earn so much money so quickly?" Li Xiumei refused to believe him.
"I'm very strong. Forget it; there's no point in saying too much. If you don't believe me, let me show you." Wang Teng took out his phone and showed Li Xiumei his bank balance.
"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… 580 million!" Li Xiumei was confused. She looked at the number on the phone and started counting it again. Then, she exclaimed in astonishment, "You really have so much money! How did you do it?"
She had seen such large amounts of money before, but this money was earned by her son. Also, he only had a short time to make this amount of money. She found it unrealistic.
"You know that the principal of Jixin Martial House put me in a powerful elite martial warrior team. They brought me to the Xingwu Continent, and we killed many rare star beasts there. The materials on these star beasts were sold at high prices. I got this money after splitting the profits." Wang Teng pulled out Lin Zhan and his teammates. He knew that Li Xiumei would only feel at ease if he said that he went out with an elite martial warriors team.

Chapter 152: Everyone Has It Tough, You Can Only Save Yourself
Wang Teng had to explain for a long time before he finally made Li Xiumei accept the fact that he had earned 580 million in a month.
Li Xiumei took the phone and counted the numbers again and again. She didn't seem tired of doing it.
I guess my mother is a money lover!
Wang Teng thought to himself helplessly as he stood at the side. In the afternoon, he decided to stay at home to accompany Li Xiumei.
After what she experienced, even if Li Xiumei remained calm on the surface, Wang Teng could tell that her heart wasn't as peaceful as her face.
Li Xiumei didn't say anything, so Wang Teng wouldn't bring it out directly.
His mother had her pride too.
Yan Qing staggered as he walked on a small path in the mountain. His wound had stopped bleeding, but his face was extremely pale because of the loss of blood.
He carried his broken arm in his left hand and gritted his teeth as he walked up the mountain.
Half an hour later, he stopped…
In front of a tomb!
Yan Qing walked forward and dropped to his knees. He looked at the tombstone in front of him in silence.
He kneeled until the sun set.
Then, he finally opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, Mom, was I wrong?
"Maybe I shouldn't have attacked the young girl?
"But, I feel so much hatred! Why are the evil people still living freely while I have to guard your tombs and suffer terribly every day!
"What did I do wrong by killing them?"
Yan Qing looked up at the sky and screamed. No outsiders would be able to understand his pain.
The next second, he started choking with sobs.
He kneeled in front of the tomb and cried like a homeless child.
Buddhism had this saying: Everyone has it tough. You can only save yourself.
No one knew if Yan Qing would be able to save himself at this moment…
At night, at 7 o'clock, Wang Shengguo finally came home. Li Xiumei hadn't told him the afternoon's events, so he was still clueless.
When he walked into his house and saw the little girl sitting quietly on the sofa, he was stunned.
"Doudou?" He seemed a little uncertain. He hurriedly shouted at Li Xiumei in the kitchen, "Dear, what happened?"
"Keep your voice down. Don't scare the child," Li Xiumei rushed out of the kitchen and replied angrily.
"Alright, I'll be quieter." Wang Shengguo immediately lowered his tone and asked in a soft voice, "If I remember correctly, that is Wang Fugui's daughter, right? Why is she in our house?"
"Wang Fugui's family… is gone." Li Xiumei sighed.
"Gone?" Wang Shengguo repeated in confusion.
What does she mean? Why can't I understand?
"Yes!" Li Xiumei nodded. Then, she told Wang Shengguo the whole story.
"This is a huge matter. Why didn't you tell me? Also, why did you rush forward? It was so dangerous." Wang Shengguo's expression changed when he finished listening to his wife. He could feel the lingering fears in her heart.
"The situation was critical. If I hadn't done anything, the young man would have killed Doudou. She's just a small child. How can I bear to watch her die?" Li Xiumei said.
"You… sigh!" Wang Shengguo let out a breath. He didn't know what to say to Li Xiumei.
Standing from his point of view, he didn't want Li Xiumei to take any risk.
However, from Li Xiumei's point of view, if she didn't do anything after seeing this scene, the seeds of guilt would be planted in her heart. She wouldn't be able to overcome this emotion. In fact, she might not be able to feel at ease her entire life.
A clear conscience!
It sounded simple, but it was very hard to put into action.
There were so many people at the scene, but only Li Xiumei had acted.
This was the human heart.
"Life is unpredictable. Wang Fugui did many charity projects over the past few years, but he's still unable to escape this ending." Wang Fugui lamented, "Poor Doudou, she lost her parents at such a young age. What would she do in the future?"
"Every effect comes with a cause. Some matters cannot be wiped out just because you did charity." Wang Teng walked down from the stairs and said calmly, "I don't think that the young man is wrong. Wang Fugui killed his parents. He had the right to take revenge."
Wang Shengguo looked at Wang Teng. He knew what Wang Teng did from Li Xiumei. Hence, his expression was complex.
He felt relieved and emotional.
"Why did you chop off his arm then? You already knew that he didn't want to kill your mom and just wanted to scare her. When you cut his arm, you created a grudge out of nothing," Wang Shengguo looked at him and said.
"First, it doesn't matter whether he wanted to kill my mom or not. Since he acted, he needed to bear the consequences. Second, survival of the fittest. I'm stronger than him, so I have the final say.
"I only let him go with an arm because he didn't want to kill Mom and his background is very pitiful. If not, I would have cut off his head," Wang Teng was straightforward and spoke maliciously.
Wang Shengguo looked at him intently. He sighed. "You have grown up and have your own way of dealing with things. I feel proud of you."
"Why do you keep talking about killing people? You sound like a serial killer," Li Xiumei glared at him and said.
O()o
How did I become a serial killer??
However, since it was his mom, Wang Teng admitted defeat. He said hurriedly, "You're right. Your son will definitely be a kind person in the future."
"Stop using your glib tongue. Go and wash your hands and prepare to eat." Li Xiumei left the father and son alone and went into the kitchen to cook.
After some time, the dishes were placed on the table. Li Xiumei carried Doudou over and put her on the seat beside Wang Teng.
She was very small, so when she sat on the chair, only her head could be seen above the table.
This young girl had remained silent after she woke up in the afternoon. She didn't cry nor kick up a fuss. She just sat on the sofa and twirled her hands anxiously.
"Doudou, are you hungry? Do you want to eat with Auntie, Uncle, and Brother Wang Teng?" Li Xiumei squatted beside her and coaxed her gently.
The little girl nodded and said in a cute, childish voice, "Okay!"
"Mom, she's too small. She can't reach the food. You need to make her chair higher," Wang Teng said.
"I know. I'm thinking of a way." Li Xiumei walked around the living room as she tried to find something to make Doudou's chair higher.
"Auntie, I can eat like this. I can reach the food," Doudou crawled up and kneeled on the chair as she said each word slowly.
"How can you do that? Your knees will hurt from kneeling," Li Xiumei said worriedly and hurriedly carried her down.
Wang Teng thought for a moment and brought down a pile of books from his room. He stacked them on the chair and said, "Here, this is high enough."
"Thank you, Brother Wang Teng," Doudou looked at Wang Teng and said softly.
"Good girl. Let's eat." Wang Teng rubbed her head and messed up her mushroom-shaped hair.
This feeling… was quite good!
The four people ate their meal. Li Xiumei sat on Doudou's left and kept taking food for her. She asked her what she liked to eat and if she needed someone to feed her… However, Doudou insisted on eating herself even though she seemed a little clumsy. Very soon, her face got dirty.

Chapter 153: Jealousy Caused Me To Fall Apart
After the meal, Wang Teng's family drove to Deer Garden.
Li Xiumei was carrying Doudou in her arms, who remained quiet. Li Xiumei had told Wang Shengguo and Wang Teng earlier that she was usually very lively. This wasn't her usual self.
The family of three was worried about this child. She had just received an enormous stimulation. What if she couldn't let it go?
"Doudou, what snacks do you want to eat? Shall I buy some for you later?" Li Xiumei attempted to open up her heart.
"Thank you, Auntie. I don't eat snacks," Doudou shook her head and whispered.
"Then… what about some Barbie dolls? Let's buy a pretty one?" Li Xiumei didn't give up. She pondered for some time and opened her mouth again.
"Auntie, there's no need," Doudou lowered her head and said.
Li Xiumei felt helpless. She looked at Wang Teng and wanted to seek his help.
…Wang Teng shrugged. How would he know how to coax a child?
Deer Garden.
Wang Shengguo drove his car to the sales department. It was in the evening, so there were a lot of staff and customers in the sales department.
"Good evening!"
The moment they entered the lobby of the sales department, a sales manager wearing a black suit welcomed them.
The sales managers in Deer Garden's sales department were all good-looking. The quality of people was quite high.
"You must be Mr. Wang, right? You came before," the male sales manager smiled and said.
"Oh, you still remember me?" Wang Shengguo was surprised.
"Of course. I remember all my clients," the sales manager said.
This was what he said on the surface. Actually, the sales manager remembered Wang Shengguo because he didn't bring enough money the last time. He had left a stronger impression on him.
"Since you know me, things will be easier. Can you bring me to the villa I looked at the last time? This time, my son will be paying." Wang Shengguo didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he was very proud.
The sales manager looked at Wang Teng in surprise.
He knew the price of the villas in Deer Garden clearly.
At first, he thought that Wang Shengguo had prepared the money one way or another. He didn't expect this young man to be the one paying.
Can he afford it?
This doubt flashed past the sales manager's mind. However, he didn't raise it verbally.
He was just a sales manager. He didn't have the right to look down on a person who was able to present the credentials to buy a house here.
Thus, he nodded his head hurriedly and smiled. "Alright, the three of you, erm… the four of you can follow me."
He almost missed the little girl!
The sales manager brought Wang Teng and his family out of the sales department. There was a special coach meant for touring the estates. He fetched them to the front of the villa.
The sales manager took out the keys and opened the door.
Wang Teng followed Wang Shengguo and toured the house. Overall, it was not bad. The lighting, layout, and design were compatible with the Wang family's taste.
The quality of renovation in Deer Garden was quite high, so it was able to satisfy their needs. They didn't need to renovate this house again.
As for the furniture, they needed to purchase them individually.
But, as long as they had the money, this wasn't a problem.
"What do you think, son?" asked Wang Shengguo.
"As long as you like it. I plan to buy a house for you all to live in," Wang Teng said.
Li Xiumei and Wang Shengguo gave a comforting smile. One could tell that they liked this villa.
"I'll take this block. Let's sign the agreement." Wang Shengguo turned around and spoke to the sales manager.
The sales manager was delighted. In his heart, he was jumping up and down. If he was able to complete this transaction, he could earn a high commission.
"Alright, let's go and sign the agreement now."
The few of them went back to the sales department. The sales manager invited Wang Teng and his family into an office room and personally served them some tea and pastries.
"Would you like to make a full payment or pay in installments?"
The sales manager looked at Wang Teng instinctively when he said this.
"I'll make a full payment," Wang Teng said.
"Is there any discount if we make a full payment?" Wang Shengguo asked from the side.
"Yes. If you make a full payment, the highest discount we can give you is 3%. You will also be able to enjoy three years of property management for free," The sales manager said. Then, he thought of something. "Oh, our company has another rule. If the buyer is a martial warrior, he can enjoy a 10% discount."
"10%?!" Wang Shengguo was flabbergasted. He glanced at Wang Shengguo uncontrollably.
This company was so generous!
A 10% discount meant that this 300 million house would cost 270 million now. It was a 30 million discount.
Indeed, martial warriors would get benefits everywhere they went. The rumors were true!
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei looked at each other. They had the same thought.
"Yes, this is a discount for martial warriors. Normal people won't be able to enjoy it," the sales manager said with envy.
"I love a company like yours… Here, this is my martial warrior credential."
Wang Teng was straightforward. He took out his martial warrior documents and placed them on the table.
The sales manager: …
He looked at the little booklet on the table and suddenly felt stunned.
That was just a casual remark. He didn't expect there to be a martial warrior in this family.
And it was the young man who was making the purchase. No wonder he could afford the house…
When this thought went through his mind, the sales manager became even more polite and said cautiously, "I need to verify it."
"Sure." Wang Teng nodded.
The sales manager took out a device and scanned the martial warrior credential. He confirmed Wang Teng's identity.
"Mr. Wang, your identity has been verified. You can enjoy the 10% discount from our company." The sales manager passed the martial warrior credential back to Wang Teng respectfully.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei felt proud and complicated at the same time.
Next, they proceeded with the house buying. They paid and signed the contract.
A slash of the card, and 300 million was gone!
Fortunately, they had the house. After they bought all the furniture, they could move in right away.
"Have a nice day!" The sales manager sent Wang Teng and his family to the door and watched them leave in their car.
When he returned to the lobby, a few other sales managers immediately gathered around him.
"Brother Lin, did the family make a purchase just now?"
"Yes. They took out 300 million just like that." the sales manager, who had received Wang Teng and his family, said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, 300 million. Brother Lin, you can buy a house with your commission this time." The other sales managers were extremely jealous.
"Such rich people!"
"Brother Lin, how much discount did you give them?"
"10%!"
"What? 10%! There's a martial warrior among them!" The other sales managers were dumbfounded.
"That's right. The young man is a martial warrior. He's the one who paid for the house," the sales manager replied.
"Martial warriors. They are wealthy and enjoy all kinds of benefits. Jealousy is causing me to fall apart…"
In the car, Wang Teng said, "Dad, Mom, find time tomorrow and buy some furniture. Move as quickly as possible. It's safer there."
"Alright, we will take a look tomorrow," Wang Shengguo said.
After they reached home, Li Xiumei threw Doudou to Wang Teng and asked him to help take care of her for a moment while she tidied and arranged Doudou's room.
In the living room, Wang Teng and Doudou sat opposite on the sofa and stared at each other.

Chapter 154: Doudou's Tears
Wang Teng stared at the little person on the sofa opposite him and admitted defeat after a while. He opened his mouth and asked, "Doudou, do you want to watch cartoons?"
Doudou shook her head.
"Then, do you want to eat an… apple?" Wang Teng picked up the apple on the table and asked.
Doudou shook her head again.
"Chocolate?"
She shook her head.
"Biscuit?"
She shook her head.
"Milk?"
"Brother Wang Teng, are you hungry?" Doudou stared at Wang Teng innocently.
…Wang Teng held the milk in his hand, and the smile at the edge of his lips froze.
When Li Xiumei came out, she saw Wang Teng on the sofa with a helpless expression. Doudou was sitting beside him innocently.
"What is the matter… with you?" Li Xiumei asked in shock.
"Nothing. I just want some peace and quiet," Wang Teng waved his hand and said.
Li Xiumei: …
"Doudou, what is wrong with your Brother Wang Teng?" she turned and asked Doudou.
Doudou shook her head, opening her eyes wide to express her innocence and oblivion.
"Forget it. Let's ignore him. Come, let's go take a bath." Li Xiumei carried Doudou up and ignored the person who was pretending to be dead on the sofa. She climbed up the stairs without a care.
Doudou popped her head out behind Li Xiumei's neck. She looked at Wang Teng curiously.
Wang Teng sighed. He actually lost to a little girl. He was such a failure!
When he was bemoaning his fate on the sofa and questioning his life, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and looked at the screen.
Bai Wei had sent him a message.
Bai Wei: Brother Wang Teng, are you back?
When Wang Teng was on the Xingwu Continent, Bai Wei had sent him many messages. Wang Teng didn't have time to reply to her. He didn't expect her to message him again.
This young lady's frequency of messaging was a little high!
Wang Teng: I'm back!
Bai Wei immediately sent a surprised expression.
Bai Wei: Brother Wang Teng, where did you go and play? You didn't contact us the entire summer break.
Wang Teng: I went to the Xingwu Continent.
He didn't hide his whereabouts. It wasn't something secretive anyway.
Bai Wei: You went to the Xingwu Continent! (ΩДΩ)
Wang Teng: Yes!
Bai Wei: That's impressive! Brother Wang Teng, you have already gone to the Xingwu Continent! ٩(๑๑)۶
Wang Teng sent a husky emoticon that was laughing with its hands on its waist.
Bai Wei: Is the scenery in the Xingwu Continent beautiful? Did you take any pictures? Send some to me.
Wang Teng shook his head. The scenery in the Xingwu Continent was indeed beautiful, but he didn't have the mood to notice it. What he felt the most was danger and eeriness. For instance, the formidable star beasts and the mysterious dark apparitions…
However, before he became a martial warrior, his impression of the Xingwu Continent was an exotic place with beautiful scenery.
The comparison made him a little emotional.
Wang Teng sent an emoticon that was smiling awkwardly.
Wang Teng: I forgot to take pictures. I will take some next time.
Bai Wei: What a pity. But… I forgive you. Remember to take pictures the next time. I'm so envious that you can go to the Xingwu Continent.
Wang Teng: I will! I will!
The two of them chatted for a while. Then, Wang Teng finally managed to find an excuse to stop the conversation. He heaved a sigh of relief uncontrollably.
Just when he was about to put his phone back, he received another message—
Lin Chuhan: School is starting soon. Are you back?
Wang Teng: I just came back!
Well, I have been back for only three days, so I'm not lying.
Wang Teng nodded to himself.
Lin Chuhan: Where did you go during the summer break? Why didn't you reply to my message?
Wang Teng: The Xingwu Continent!
Lin Chuhan: The Xingwu Continent!
Is he already so far ahead? Lin Chuhan was secretly stunned. She felt a sudden pressure and a sense of urgency.
She must not lag too far behind him!
Lin Chuhan was extremely curious about the Xingwu Continent. She kept asking Wang Teng questions out of excitement.
Wang Teng picked those that he could answer to satisfy her curiosity.
Half an hour later, he ended the conversation. Wang Teng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Ding dong!
Another message was received.
Wang Teng looked at the phone in his hand. His eyes twitched.
Lin Chuxia: Brother-in-law, my sister told me that you are back.
Wang Teng: …
Is there an end to this? What is wrong with these ladies?
Wang Teng could only gather his strength to handle his sister-in-law…
20 minutes later, Wang Teng finally finished dealing with Lin Chuxia. He sighed.
Women are scary!
He turned off his phone without thinking.
Damn it, let's see who still wants to send me messages.
My phone is out of battery. It shut down!
Li Xiumei carried Doudou down the stairs. The little fellow had finished bathing. After getting clean, she looked like a china doll.
They had spent a long time upstairs. Wang Teng wondered what they were doing.
Li Xiumei asked Aunt Chen to buy the pajamas Doudou was wearing in the afternoon. She also made her buy some daily necessities.
Wang Teng felt that Li Xiumei had plans to let Doudou live in their house long-term.
"Son, play with Doudou. I will cook some supper for both of you."
Li Xiumei placed Doudou on the sofa beside Wang Teng. Then, she went to the kitchen to cook food.
O(_)o
Wang Teng was on the brink of tears. Did he have something against women tonight?
He had just dealt with three ladies, and now, there was another smaller one in front of him.
Oh god!
He turned and looked at the small person beside him, giving her a fatherly smile…
Half an hour later, Li Xiumei finished preparing supper and called everyone to eat.
They gathered around the dining table and started eating.
There was a small bowl in front of Doudou. However, she didn't touch it.
"Doudou, why aren't you eating? You don't like to eat that?" Li Xiumei asked.
Doudou shook her head. Suddenly, she opened her mouth. "Auntie, I want to go home. I want to find my parents."
The atmosphere tensed up in an instant.
The adults turned silent.
"Doudou, is my house not good? Your parents went to a faraway place…" Li Xiumei's eyes turned red. As she spoke, her voice choked a little.
"Have they abandoned me?" The little girl pouted. She sounded as though she was about to cry.
"Why will they? They loved you the most in this world. Why will they abandon you?" Li Xiumei asked.
"Then why didn't they come and look for me?" Doudou asked curiously, "Are they hiding because the bad guy scared them? Brother Wang Teng is so powerful. Auntie, can you ask Brother Wang Teng to protect them? Don't let the bad guy bully my parents."
"Good girl, they just went to a faraway place to work. After you grow up, you will be able to see them again," Li Xiumei said.
"Auntie, you're lying. Are they dead?" Doudou said. The tears in her eyes had already started rolling down.
Li Xiumei covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying. She hurriedly went forward and hugged Doudou tightly. Doudou finally started bawling.
"Sigh, what a poor child." Wang Shengguo heaved a long sigh.

Chapter 155: I'm No Longer The Child You Loved The Most
Doudou went to sleep after she got tired from crying.
Li Xiumei had tidied a room for her. She decorated it like a princess's room, and it looked very cozy. It was highly suitable for a little girl.
She carefully placed Doudou on the bed. When she looked up, she saw Wang Teng standing at the door.
"Shh!" Li Xiumei placed her forefinger on her lips and signaled Wang Teng to speak after they got out of the room.
When they walked out, she closed the door behind them softly. Then, she said, "She finally fell asleep. Don't wake her up."
"This little fellow is very smart and obedient. She will get over it soon," Wang Teng said.
"Who can be certain about this?" Li Xiumei replied.
"What do you plan to do? We don't have the right to keep her with us. This isn't a solution." Wang Shengguo came over and spoke to them.
"Why don't we adopt her?" Li Xiumei hesitated before suggesting.
"Adopt her?!" Wang Shengguo and Wang Teng looked at her in astonishment.
They didn't expect her to have this idea.
"Have you thought about it clearly?" Wang Shengguo frowned and asked.
Adopting a child wasn't an easy task, especially for a family like them. They needed to consider many things.
"I've thought about it the entire afternoon. I heard her mother saying that she's the only daughter. Doudou's grandparents have passed away, and she doesn't have any relatives that can take care of her. Let's not talk about Wang Fugui's relatives. They are all cruel and unscrupulous people. None of them has a good heart. If we allow them to raise Doudou, it's like sending her to the tiger's den. We should adopt her," Li Xiumei said.
"Son, what do you think?" Wang Shengguo looked at Wang Teng.
"Me? I don't have any objections. It's alright to have a younger sister," Wang Teng replied nonchalantly. "Also, Doudou is really pitiful. If what Mom said is true and her relatives are all unreliable, it won't be a good idea to pass her to them."
"Since you think that it's fine, I have no objections either. I like Doudou. However, no matter how much we discuss, we still need to ask Doudou for her opinion," Wang Shengguo said.
"You're right. Why don't we let her stay in our house for some time before mentioning this matter to her?" Li Xiumei asked.
"Let's do that." Wang Shengguo nodded. "Alright, let's go and sleep."
"I'll accompany Doudou today. I won't be going back to sleep," Li Xiumei said to Wang Shengguo.
"Haha, Dad, you are out of favor," Wang Teng didn't forget to land a blow on his father.
"Go away, you little brat." Wang Shengguo rolled his eyes and pretended that he wanted to knock Wang Teng's head.
Wang Teng dodged and ran away immediately…
A silent night.
The following day, Wang Teng got up early and started his morning exercise in the courtyard.
He faced the sun and cultivated his Force.
During his one-month trip to the Xingwu Continent, he had gradually cultivated the habit of practicing whenever he had the time. He didn't want to waste any time.
He was back home, so he didn't have the sense of urgency from the life or death situations anymore. But, he must not stop his practice.
After he finished practicing his Sky Cremating Sword Skill, Wang Teng slowly stabilized himself and retracted his fire Force back into his Force nucleus. He let out a breath of hot air.
The Sky Cremating Sword Skill is an earth-rank elite-class battle technique. Its sword presence is harder to comprehend than the Fire Kirin Sword Skill. It looks like I need to spend more time practicing it. Wang Teng wondered to himself.
He kept his battle sword. Just as he was preparing to practice his blade skill, he turned and saw a quiet and tiny figure sitting in front of the door of the villa with the corner of his eyes. The person had her hands on her chin and was staring at him intently with her dark and bright eyes.
"Doudou, why are you up so early?" Wang Teng was slightly stunned. He walked forward and squatted in front of her.
"Sleeping and waking up early are the traits of a good child," Doudou said in her cute voice.
"Erm… you are right. Doudou is a good child," Wang Teng's pupils twirled around his eyes as he quickly praised her.
"Yes, Doudou is a good child." Doudou nodded in agreement.
This little fellow is quite narcissistic. Wang Teng laughed secretly.
"Brother Wang Teng, were you practicing martial arts just now?" Doudou waved her hands exaggeratedly as she asked.
"Yes, I was practicing martial arts. Is it fun to watch?" asked Wang Teng.
"Yes. You're so amazing," Doudou said earnestly.
"Shall I show you another kind of martial arts?" Wang Teng smiled.
"Okay!" Doudou nodded. She stared at Wang Teng without blinking as he walked to the open ground in front. He held his battle sword in his hand and started practicing.
The glamorous sword rays engulfed Wang Teng's body. He purposely slowed down his movement and made it pleasant to watch. His actions weren't as sharp, simple, and decisive as when he was in a battle.
The mighty Moving Mountain Blade Skill was forcefully changed into a performance technique that Wang Teng used to coax a child.
What would the other martial warriors think if they saw this scene?
"How is it?" Wang Teng stopped and asked.
"It looks good. Brother Wang Teng, you're so amazing. I wish that I was as powerful as you." Doudou suddenly got depressed.
ヾ(.ꏿ_ꏿ)ノ゙
Wang Teng was given a shock. He wouldn't be able to deal with this young girl if she started crying.
"Doudou, why don't I teach you martial arts?" Wang Teng had a sudden thought and said quickly.
"Will I be as powerful as you if I practice martial arts?" Doudou's eyes lit up like light bulbs.
"Of course. When you practice martial arts, you might become stronger than me," Wang Teng agreed as though he was speaking the truth.
"I will follow Brother Wang Teng and learn martial arts then." Doudou stood up immediately and ran towards Wang Teng with her short legs. "Brother Wang Teng, teach me quickly."
"Slow down, slow down. Don't fall."
When Li Xiumei came out to call them in for breakfast, she saw Wang Teng teaching Doudou how to do the horse stance. Although Doudou was young, her posture was quite good. Even an adult would feel deeply ashamed if they saw her perseverance.
"Hey, stop practicing. Doudou is still young. How can she practice martial arts? Look at the sweat on her forehead. Don't exhaust her." Li Xiumei walked over and pulled Doudou into her arms worriedly. She wiped the huge beads of sweat from her forehead.
"Mom, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Adequate practice is good for her," Wang Teng said.
"I don't understand all these. Just be careful in the future," Li Xiumei reminded him in a worried tone.
"Fine, I will take extra notice. I won't tire out your little doll." Wang Teng suddenly felt that his family status had been lowered by a few levels.
Mom, I'm no longer the child you loved the most!
He was experiencing grief all alone.
"Doudou, let's stop for today, alright? Let's go and have breakfast," Li Xiumei said.
"Okay." Doudou looked at Wang Teng. She only replied to Li Xiumei after he nodded.
Li Xiumei was jealous when she saw this scene.
I'm looking at you, but you looked at him instead.
Hahaha… Wang Teng was laughing happily in his heart.

Chapter 156: Natural Boasting Was The Most Lethal
After they finished breakfast, Wang Teng accompanied his parents to buy furniture.
They walked around the shop and bought all the furniture they needed. The entire morning went away in a flash.
The furniture they bought was all of high quality. Service consumption was the trend now, especially for high-class brands. They had a one-stop service, and it was convenient and fast.
The pieces of furniture were delivered to their new home in Deer Garden in the afternoon.
"Everything is here. We can move in today if we want," Wang Teng smiled and said.
"Why don't we do your graduation banquet and the house moving banquet together? We can move in after that." Li Xiumei still kept some of her traditional thinking. She wanted to choose a good day to shift houses. She also wanted to move in only after throwing a banquet.
"That will save a lot of trouble," Wang Teng smiled and said. Naturally, he wouldn't go against Li Xiumei for a small matter like this. Everything was fine as long as she was happy.
"It's decided then. I will go back and discuss with your father and grandfathers. We will settle it over the next few days. Your school is starting soon, so we can't drag this any longer," Li Xiumei said.
Doudou sized up the new house curiously as she laid in Li Xiumei's arms. It was hard to know what she was thinking.
After settling the matters here, Wang Teng and Li Xiumei went back to the Fuhua Villa District.
At night, Li Xiumei discussed the matter with Wang Shengguo and called Wang Teng's grandfathers. In the end, they decided to hold the graduation banquet and the house-moving banquet together the day after tomorrow.
The next day.
Wang Teng woke up early and taught Doudou martial arts for some time. Actually, he only taught her how to do the horse stance. This was to train her muscles.
She was still young, so it was inappropriate for her to train properly.
However, this little fellow was quite earnest. Her patience was good too. She didn't complain throughout the entire practice.
Also, she stopped asking about her parents from the second day onwards. She didn't kick up a fuss and cried to go home. It seemed as though in her heart, she already knew that she wouldn't be able to go back.
The Wang family felt relieved when they saw how obedient and sensible she was. However, their hearts ached for her too.
After morning practice, Wang Teng went out. He drove his car to Lin Chuhan's house.
Lin Chuhan's mother was extremely enthusiastic when she saw him. "Wang Teng, I haven't seen you in a while. Come in and have a seat. I will pour a cup of water for you."
"Auntie, there's no need. I'm not thirsty." Wang Teng hurriedly stopped her. He explained, "I went on a long trip and just came back a few days ago. I'm starting school soon, so I came to see Chuxia. I'm worried that I might not have the time to visit her when I enter university."
"Chuxia is indeed very lonely at home. Thank you for thinking of her," Mother Lin said gratefully.
"I will go up and look for her then. Auntie, you can continue with your work."
"Alright, go ahead."
Wang Teng walked up the stairs. Mother Lin looked at his back view and felt satisfied with him.
Lin Chuhan wasn't at home.
She owed Wang Teng money, so she went out early in the morning to work. She had been working hard to earn money the entire summer break. She didn't dare to relax.
Wang Teng had a few hundred million of assets, so the money she owed was nothing to him. But, Lin Chuhan was a stubborn girl. She had her pride too. She didn't want to owe Wang Teng anything.
Wang Teng was able to guess and understand her thinking. That was why he allowed her to do whatever she wanted and didn't say anything.
Wang Teng accompanied Lin Chuxia and chatted with her for some time. He picked up the attribute bubbles scattered around her room along the way.
Yes, along the way!
He didn't come for the attribute bubbles.
Poison Force*26
Demon Lotus Poison Body*18
Gun Kungfu*2
When he picked up the last attribute bubble, Wang Teng was dumbfounded. He opened his eyes wide.
"Have you been practicing the Gun Kungfu recorded on the USB?" he suppressed his astonishment and asked casually.
After Wang Teng picked up all the attribute bubbles around her, Lin Chuxia felt much more comfortable. She squinted and replied to him calmly, "Yes!"
"Really? How did you practice?"
Lin Chuxia was able to practice Gun Kungfu using the video on the USB? The problem was… she didn't have a gun!
How can you practice Gun Kungfu without a gun?
Are you trying to fool me?
It's alright if she practiced without a gun, but she actually managed to succeed!
This isn't scientific!
How on earth did she do it?
Wang Teng was entirely shocked.
"I just follow the video and practice it naturally," Lin Chuxia replied indifferently. She sounded as if she was talking about something as simple as eating and drinking.
Wang Teng: …
"But… how can you practice without a gun?"
"Who says that I don't have a gun?"
Wang Teng was stunned by Lin Chuxia's words once again.
She has a gun? Where did she get it?
The next moment, Wang Teng saw Lin Chuxia opening her drawer and taking out a… toy gun!
"Here, I asked my sister to help me buy a toy gun and some bullets. There are sparrows flying below our house every day. I use the toy gun to shoot the sparrows using the skills taught in the video. The toy gun doesn't have much power and won't harm the birds. Truthfully speaking, it's quite interesting. I can use this to pass my time," Lin Chuxia smiled and said.
Toy gun?!
To hell with toy guns!
Many people used real guns and bullets and tried all kinds of scientific methods to practice Gun Kungfu. However, they might not succeed.
Yet, Lin Chuxia was using a piece of low-level equipment like the toy gun to practice Gun Kungfu by shooting sparrows every day.
And she managed to attain results!
If those people knew this, they might want to bang a piece of tofu and die.
"Cough, you can continue to practice. Who knows, you might become a powerful master." Wang Teng coughed awkwardly.
"That's true. I feel that this Gun Kungfu is very interesting. I'm able to hit a sparrow flying 50 meters away from me. Isn't that impressive?" Lin Chuxia said proudly.
"50 meters and flying?"
Wang Teng stared at the ceiling and suddenly started questioning his life.
Mind you, he was only able to achieve this when he pushed his Gun Kungfu to the small achievement stage.
However, Lin Chuxia had managed to do it on her own. Even more, she used such a ridiculous method.
Could it be that Lin Chuxia was a talent in Gun Kungfu?
"Not bad. However, you have to work harder. You are just at the foundation level." Wang Teng told a bald-faced lie. He didn't want to admit that he got stimulated by her.
"Ah, this is only the foundation stage? I have to work harder then." Lin Chuxia waved her small fists around as she said with motivation.
Wang Teng: …
Damn it, natural boasting was the most lethal!
He didn't expect he would have to suffer from other people's boasting one day, especially from someone who didn't know that she was boasting.
He rejected Mother Lin's kind intention to stay for lunch. After coming out of Lin Chuhan's house, he glanced at Lin Chuxia's room.
Lin Chuxia was waving at him from the window.
Wang Teng could sense that she was smiling. She seemed very happy.
If she weren't affected by the poison body, with her talent, she would have been in the spotlight in school. Thinking about it, Lin Chuhan isn't weak either. This pair of siblings are astonishing. Wang Teng thought to himself silently. He felt pity for Lin Chuxia.
He waved at Lin Chuxia and turned around to leave.

Chapter 157: A Happy Banquet
In the afternoon, two days later.
Wang Teng would be starting university in two days.
Crown Hotel was a five-star hotel. It was very famous in Donghai.
Wang Teng's graduation banquet and his family's house-moving banquet would be held in the Crown Hotel today. Many people came.
The Wang family and Li family's relatives all came. Even the business partners of the Wang family attended the banquet.
Wang Teng knew some of them. As for the others, he had never seen them before.
After Wang Teng was reborn, this was the first time he was meeting his grandparents. His three grandparents were getting on in years, but they maintained their health well and had good spirits.
They were chatting casually when Wang Teng went forward and greeted them, "Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma."
"Dad, Mom!" Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei greeted them too.
"Oh, my lovely grandson is here! Come, let Grandpa take a look at you." Grandpa Wang was thrilled. He ignored Wang Shengguo and waved his hands at Wang Teng.
Wang Shengguo couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Wang Teng walked forward. Grandpa Wang patted the seat beside him and asked Wang Teng to sit down. Then, he sized up Wang Teng and said happily, "You became more muscular. This must be the result of practicing martial arts!"
Grandpa Li smiled and said, "I didn't expect my grandson to become the top scholar of the martial arts exam."
"Hahaha, that's because my Wang family's genes are good," Grandpa Wang laughed proudly.
"My Li family's genes are not bad either. Although this is the martial arts era, a martial warrior has to be adept in both his studies and martial arts. If he can't study well, he will not be able to become the top scholar." Grandpa Li was unwilling to back down.
"It's called the martial arts exam, so martial arts is the most important. Studies can only stand aside." Grandpa Wang pouted.
Wang Teng and his parents were caught between laughter and tears when they saw the two elders quarreling over which family's genes were more outstanding.
They were old children!
The older they got, the more childish they were. This saying was right.
"Dad, there are others around. Stop quarreling. Others will laugh at you," Wang Shengguo said helplessly.
"Dad, you too. What's the point of arguing? Also, Wang Teng carries both families' genes. Both are important." Li Xiumei felt speechless.
"Haha, these two old men are getting more and more childish." Wang Teng's grandmother laughed happily. Then, she pulled Wang Teng to her side and asked him worriedly, "Is practicing martial arts tiring? You must have suffered a lot."
"Grandma, I'm fine. I'm very talented, so I didn't suffer much," Wang Teng lied through his teeth.
"Hello, Shengguo, Sister-in-law, you are here."
At this moment, Wang Teng's oldest uncle, Wang Shenghong, walked over. His wife, Zhao Huili, was beside him, as well as his cousins, Wang Yanan and Wang Yalong.
"Elder Brother, Sister-in-law!"
"We just arrived. I didn't know you would be so early."
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei greeted them.
Wang Shenghong nodded. He was around seven years older than Wang Shengguo and looked mature and imposing.
His gaze went past Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei and landed on Wang Teng, who was behind them.
"Uncle!"
"It has been a long time since I saw you. Little Teng, you have changed completely," Wang Shenghong exclaimed.
"Of course. I was shocked when I saw Wang Teng the other time," Wang Yanan smiled brightly and said.
"Yalong, look at your younger cousin and then look at yourself. All you do is nothing. You should change." Wang Yanan suddenly turned his attention to the young man, who was playing with his phone beside Wang Yanan. He was a little disappointed and angry while speaking.
"Tsk!" Wang Yalong rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to even reply.
"You!" Wang Shenghong was so angry that he felt like hitting his son right then and there.
"Alright, alright, we're at a banquet. Don't keep lecturing Yalong." Zhao Huili doted on her son, so she hurriedly mediated the situation.
"You spoil him!" Wang Shenghong replied furiously.
Zhao Huili ignored him and smiled at Wang Teng instead. "You children haven't met for a long time. You must have many things to talk about with one another. You don't have to accompany us elders. Go and play."
"Come, I'll bring you to meet some people," Wang Yanan said to Wang Teng.
After Wang Teng left with his peers, Wang Shenghong said, "Your family is the main lead today. Many guests came. Go and welcome them."
"Alright." Wang Shengguo nodded. He asked, "Where's Shengjun? Why don't I see him?"
"He's greeting his colleagues over there." Wang Shenghong pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. A stern-looking man was smiling and chatting with a few people with his back straight up.
Wang Shengguo and his brothers looked very similar. However, their temperaments were all different, including their figures. It wasn't hard to differentiate them.
Wang Shengguo and Wang Shenghong went to welcome their business friends. On the other side, Wang Teng got to know a few young people under Wang Yanan's introduction.
Their families always had business dealings with the Wang family. They didn't look like those rich second generations who only knew how to enjoy themselves. Instead, they were all young and talented. This person held an important position in a certain family company, while that person had started his own business and had this amount of assets now.
Wang Yanan's intention was obvious. In the past, Wang Teng didn't have the right to enter this circle. However, he had the ability now.
In fact, his ability was more than enough. Look at those young people flattering him. Outstanding people had their pride, and these young people were no exception. However, in front of Wang Teng, they kept their arrogance in their pockets.
Martial warriors represented another level.
No matter how impressive they were, they couldn't be compared to a martial warrior with great potential.
Wang Teng didn't like this kind of useless networking, but he didn't lose his manners. He remained polite and sensible.
After a few rounds of introduction, Wang Teng finally escaped this ordeal. He went to find the other younger generations of the Wang family.
One of them was his third uncle, Wang Shengjun's son, Wang Haoran, and his aunt's daughter, Fang Qianwen.
They were both younger than Wang Teng.
When they saw Wang Teng, they gathered around him and asked him about the martial arts exam. They were all very curious.
As for the Li family, Li Xiumei only had one older sister, Li Xiulan. She was here with her family today.
Li Xiulan's daughter, Tian Xinyu, was one year younger than Wang Teng. She was year two in senior high this year. She followed behind everyone.
She had a shy personality and wasn't as outspoken as Wang Haoran and Fang Qianwen. She was also interested in the martial arts exam, but she didn't go forward and ask questions.
"Brother Wang Teng, how did you study for the exam? You became the top scholar!" Wang Haoran said in admiration.
"Study hard and make progress every day!"
Wang Haoran: …
"Brother Wang Teng, you must take a photo with me later. I told my classmates that you're my cousin, but they don't believe me," Fang Qianwen pouted and said.
"No problem. You can take as many photos as you want."
Wang Teng was more carefree around the younger generations. He didn't need to restrain himself or put up an act. He chatted with them casually.
"Tsk, what's so impressive about him?" Wang Yalong sat in a corner and glanced at Wang Teng from the corner of his eyes as he muttered in disdain.
He was similar to Wang Teng of the past. He liked to fool around and drink and was hopeless in his studies. Unfortunately, Wang Teng suddenly woke up and embarked on the right path. He was even used as an example to educate him now. That was why he was unhappy with Wang Teng. He felt that his act of turning over a new leaf was just a show. It was shameless.

Chapter 158: A Clock As A Present
Wang Yalong sat in a corner alone and played with his phone. He seemed extremely out of place.
Wang Teng knew what he was thinking and he could understand him too. After all, they were once the same kind of person.
However!
Wang Yalong disliked everything about Wang Teng now. Everything Wang Teng did would be wrong, including voluntarily getting close with him.
Thus, the best way was to do nothing.
As time passed, the guests slowly arrived.
Wang Shengguo and his brothers attended to all the middle-aged guests. These people were mostly CEOs of companies or the leaders of the various elite families.
The Wang family was just a minor family in a larger circle. They couldn't reach the highest status in society, but they had some influence among the smaller families.
Also, Wang Teng had become a martial warrior and was going to Huanghai Military Academy. This allowed the Wang family's reputation to rise to another level.
Hence, many people came today.
Certain people who looked down on the Wang family in the past came for their banquet today. They even seemed exceptionally eager to get in their good books.
Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Li were chatting with the older guests.
Grandpa Wang was boasting about his grandson most of the time. He said that Wang Teng had always been talented since he was young. He learned to walk in a few months, and by the time he was one year old, he could run like the wind.
His proud laughter could be heard from afar. It was loud and confident.
What do you mean by run like the wind?
Do you think that your grandson is Nezha?
The other elders rolled their eyes in their hearts. They were too lazy to expose him.
Wang Yanan was chatting cheerfully with those young and talented youths.
Honestly, it was a little funny that she was the only one who was able to bear responsibilities in Wang Teng's generation. The others were either too young or too useless.
Fortunately, there was Wang Teng now.
However, he didn't like this kind of networking and would only greet the other people symbolically to perform his duty as the host. Then, he went back to play with the other young children. Wang Yanan could only shake her head helplessly.
However, she could distinctively feel the change in the attitude of the young people. In the past, they were never so enthusiastic. They were all incredibly proud.
Forget it. Since Wang Teng doesn't like networking, let him be.
With him out, the Wang family had many things to gain.
"Miss Wang, your cousin entered Huanghai Military Academy, right?" A voice pulled Wang Yanan back from her thoughts.
"Yes, I heard that the top five universities in China sent someone over to persuade him to join them. My cousin probably wants to stay closer to home, so he chose Huanghai Military Academy," Wang Yanan seemed a little proud as she said.
"He's really outstanding. Even the top universities put down their status to look for him personally." The young man who spoke just now sighed.
The other people quickly came forward and flattered Wang Yanan. They didn't want to lose to this young man.
Wang Yanan kept a reserved smile on her face. She was happy, but she didn't get confused by their flattering.
They were just passing remarks to one another so that both parties felt happy.
"You're praising my cousin too highly. Thanks, everyone, for coming today. There will be good food and drinks later. I still have to greet the guests that just arrived, so I'll leave for a while," Wang Yanan said apologetically.
"Go ahead. You don't have to care about us."
Wang Yanan nodded at them and then turned around to welcome the guests that just arrived.
Xu Jie, Bai Wei, and their friends also came to Wang Teng's graduation banquet along with their parents.
Wang Shengguo was familiar with their parents, so they started chatting really quickly.
Xu Jie and his peers came to find Wang Teng at his corner.
"Brother Wang Teng!" Bai Wei said sweetly.
"You're here. Have a seat and get yourself a drink. Make yourself at home," Wang Teng welcomed them.
The group sat down and chatted casually as they drank.
"Have you heard? Li Rongcheng's family seemed to have provoked a martial warrior and suffered heavy losses," Xu Jie suddenly said. He seemed elated at their suffering.
"Oh?"
Wang Teng couldn't help but exchange glances with Xu Hui. They thought of that auction. It must be the doings of Xie Kun.
Xu Hui couldn't help but say coldly, "He deserves it!"
Xu Jie noticed that she seemed to know something, so he asked hurriedly, "Sister, what do you know?"
Xu Hui explained what happened during that time briefly. After Xu Jie and the rest heard the story, they were filled with righteous indignation and cursed uncontrollably.
"Forget it. There's nothing much to be said. He's just a clown," Wang Teng said calmly.
He didn't care much about Li Rongcheng.
In the past, they might have had some grudges, but after experiencing so many things, his perspective had widened. He wouldn't quibble with someone who wasn't a martial warrior.
Of course, if Li Rongcheng provoked him again, he wouldn't hold back.
It was almost 12.
The guests had all arrived and taken their seats. Grandpa Wang got up and said, "Thank you, everyone, for attending my grandson, Wang Teng's, graduation banquet. Let me offer a toast to everyone."
He raised his head abruptly as he spoke and finished the wine in his hand.
"Mr. Wang, you're really bold!"
"Hahaha, Old Wang is still the same young man from the past. Cheers!"
"Congratulations!"
All the guests in the hall showed respect to Grandpa Wang and raised their cups. They congratulated him one after another…
"Hey, the banquet is just starting. It looks like I came just in time."
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
The voice wasn't loud, but its penetrating power was quite high. It suppressed all the sounds around it and pierced into everyone's ears.
An ordinary person wouldn't be able to do this!
Also, from his tone, he didn't come with good intentions…
Everyone glanced at Grandpa Wang before shifting their gazes to the entrance.
A figure sauntered in. What astounded everyone was the thing he was carrying on his shoulder… It was a giant clock!
"Who are you?"
Before Grandpa Wang could open his mouth, Wang Teng's eldest uncle, Wang Shenghong, stood up and shouted in anger.
"A delivery man," the young man smiled calmly.
"A delivery man?" Wang Shenghong's gaze landed on the huge clock. His expression changed.
Grandpa Wang and Wang Shengguo's expressions turned ugly too. They knew that this young man was here to deliver a present.
Sending you a clock!
Sending you to death![1]
"Who sent you?" Grandpa Wang stood up and asked.
The young man sniggered. Suddenly, a light shot out from his wristwatch, projecting the figure of an elder on the wall.
The elder was sitting in a wheelchair. His face looked aged, and he seemed to be on the brink of death. He smiled in Grandpa Wang's direction and said, "Long time no see, Wang Zhenwei."
Grandpa Wang was stunned. He frowned and thought for a moment. The elder waited quietly and didn't disturb him.
After some time, Grandpa Wang's expression changed entirely. "It's you!"
"You finally remember," the elder said.
"Ren Jianping, aren't you dead? That time…" Grandpa Wang was in disbelief.
"You thought that you killed me with the gunshot, right? Unfortunately, I didn't die. Do you regret not firing a few more shots at me?" Ren Jianping sneered.
Everyone's curiosity got ignited when they heard this. The flames of gossip were burning in their eyes as they looked at the two elders, who seemed to bear a deep grudge against each other.
"Indeed. It's a pity that I didn't kill a bastard like you and allowed you to live a few more years. What's wrong? Have you decided to come and take revenge?" Grandpa Wang sat down and looked at the screen on the wall calmly.
[1] In Chinese, sending a clock has the same pronunciation as sending one to death. They are both 'song zhong'

Chapter 159: The Wang Teng From The Wang Family
"That's right, I came to take my revenge," Ren Jianping blurted out.
"It has been so many years. Did you just remember to come and take revenge?" Grandpa Wang scoffed.
"I don't mind telling you. I didn't have the ability to take revenge in the past. I thought that I wouldn't have any chance in this life, but just as I was about to die, the heavens gave me another chance. My Ren family is now stronger than your Wang family. That's why I came to take revenge," Ren Jianping said coldly.
"You get arrogant the moment you succeed. You must be the one who harmed my son in the past, right?" Grandpa Wang said with disdain.
"It's me. Unfortunately, I didn't expect your Wang family to be able to groom a martial warrior and spoil my plan." Ren Jianping coughed a few times. He used his handkerchief to wipe the corner of his lips before continuing, "I have to admit that your grandson, Wang Teng, is quite capable. He's able to become a martial warrior at such a young age. He can be considered a genius in the entire country. But, when compared to my grandson, he's nothing."
"Stop talking nonsense. Come and take revenge if you want and stop doing all these petty things. You are still the same as your younger self. You didn't grow at all," Grandpa Wang said.
"Wang Zhenxiong, don't think that you're the smartest and others are all idiots. I hate this side of you. I've always hated you." Ren Jianping became furious and had a coughing fit. A tinge of red appeared on the handkerchief covering his mouth. He didn't care about it, though, and laughed crazily. "I'm going to die soon. But, before I die, I will pull your Wang family to hell with me!"
Grandpa Wang frowned. He wasn't afraid of an enemy who was alive, but the hatred of a dying person was enough to turn him into a maniac. No one knew what a person like this would do.
"You are afraid. Hahaha, you are afraid!" Ren Jianping saw his expression and burst out laughing. "You are finally afraid. You're old. You're no longer the Wang Zhenxiong who was afraid of nothing!"
"You crazy old man, if you have the guts, come and find me. Why are you scheming against the younger generations?" Grandpa Wang growled.
"Hmph, I will not forgive you. As for your grandchildren, I will make them regret coming to this world," Ren Jianping said viciously.
"You!"
"Hahaha…" Ren Jianping laughed again when he saw Grandpa Wang's speechless expression.
After laughing for some time, he suddenly stopped and shouted coldly, "Zhu Wu, give him the present."
"Wang Zhenxiong, this is a present I prepared specially for you. However, this is just an appetizer. Wait for me patiently!"
The Wang family was boiling with anger.
Sending him to death!
If he managed to send the present, the Wang family would become a joke.
"Ren Jianping, this is too much!" Grandpa Wang raged. Then, he shouted, "Stop him!"
Instantly, a bunch of Wang family's security guards dashed out and charged towards the young man. They wanted to stop him from putting down the clock.
"Hmph!"
The young man snorted. He wasn't afraid of the tall and bulky men charging at him. He remained composed. When they got nearer, he suddenly swept his leg.
The force from this powerful move was enough to throw the bodyguards out.
"Thinking too highly of yourself!"
Wang Teng's family's expressions turned dark and gloomy.
Zhu Wu glanced around him with an arrogant look. He raised the clock with one arm and threw it to the middle of the hall. He wanted to place this clock in the most prominent location.
The clock flew out and was about to land on the platform. Suddenly, a figure shot out and appeared in front of the clock.
Clang!
The person raised his leg and kicked the clock towards Zhu Wu.
"Wang Teng!"
"Little Teng!"
"Son!"
Everyone shouted in surprise when they saw the figure.
"I was waiting for you!" Zhu Wu's expression didn't change. He raised his fist and smashed it on the giant clock.
The surface of the clock bent inwards before flying towards Wang Teng again.
"Hmph!"
Wang Teng scoffed. He wanted to smash the enormous clock on Zhu Wu's head.
To put his plan into action, Wang Teng pushed his feet in mid-air and leaped up. He landed on the tip of the clock and exerted force. It felt like a mountain boring down.
Boom!
The huge clock fell on Zhu Wu with the sound of air breaking.
Zhu Wu's expression finally underwent a change. Yellow earth Force gushed out as his arms bulged out, forming two giant arms. He forcefully held onto the falling clock.
He had done his homework before coming. He thought that Wang Teng was a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior.
Zhu Wu was a 1-star martial warrior too. His combat prowess was not bad.
He had more than enough ability to deal with a 1-star martial warrior who had just graduated from high school and didn't have any battle experience.
But, he didn't know that after a summer break, Wang Teng was already a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior.
If not, he wouldn't dare to receive his attack head-on, no matter how bold he was.
Bang!
Zhu Wu grabbed the edge of the huge clock with both hands tightly. He forcefully raised it in mid-air.
"You're too naive. I'm an earth element martial warrior. I have great strength. You won't be able to suppress me like this," Zhu Wu shouted. He wanted to throw the clock out along with Wang Teng.
But, in the next second, the weight on the clock increased tremendously.
It was two to three times heavier than before. Zhu Wu's expression changed abruptly. He lowered his entire body, and the floor under him started cracking. It was unable to withstand the weight.
"Ah… get up!"
He shouted frantically. Force spurted out of his body as he tried to resist the mountain-like pressure.
Unfortunately, it was useless!
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking on Zhu Wu's arm suddenly resounded in the hall.
"How is this possible?"
His face turned pale, and his pupils constricted violently. He couldn't believe what had happened.
"Why are you so strong!"
He raised his head and shouted. However, he could only see the black clock. He couldn't see Wang Teng's figure at all.
All the guests in the hall, as well as the people from the Wang family, looked at the young man standing with his hands behind his back on the clock in a daze. They were dumbstruck.
As compared to the struggling young man, Wang Teng seemed exceptionally at ease. He stood at the tip of the huge clock in a composed manner. He didn't seem to be using any energy at all.
However, the clock below his feet continued dropping. No matter how much Zhu Wu resisted, he couldn't raise it.
"Ah!" Zhu Wu roared with unwillingness.
Boom!
Zhu Wu's entire body was engulfed in the explosion.
At this moment, the clock hadn't landed on the ground entirely. Wang Teng swept his leg and kicked the clock and Zhu Wu out of the door.
Boom!
Amidst a loud bang, the clock got embedded in the wall.
Zhu Wu rolled out from the clock. His eyes, nose, mouth, and ears were bleeding. He fell unconscious to the ground. He didn't move anymore.
The entire hall was silent.
This present wasn't sent out in the end.
Ren Jianping's projection had already disappeared. If he had seen this scene, he might have died from anger.
"Sorry to let you see this scene. Please pretend that you've just watched a show and continue with what you were doing. This isn't a huge matter," Wang Teng glanced around the hall and said indifferently.
Everyone looked at each other. They couldn't help but admire his aura, exclaiming in their hearts.
This Wang Teng is amazing!

Chapter 160: Old Grandpa Wang's Eye-Opening Past
The gaudy battle stunned every guest at the scene.
Most of them had never seen a battle between martial warriors before, so they couldn't understand what had just happened. Nonetheless, they still found it impressive.
Some people thought that the Wang family had offended a formidable enemy and would be having a hard time.
In the end, Wang Teng fought back, and the other party died on the spot. This seemed like an entertaining show where the introduction was shocking but the ending was gloomy.
The man acted proudly, yet he got killed in the end.
Wang Teng could kill a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior in one move, but he had deliberately put on a flashy show. He wanted the guests to know that with him around, the Wang family would never fall. Anyone that tried to harm them would go to hell!
He had achieved his aim. The guests were all astounded by his ability and admired his temperament. After everything ended, they started to have fun, and the atmosphere regained its liveliness.
Wang Teng returned to the main table and sat down. His cousins were all so excited that their faces had turned red. They gathered around him noisily and chattered without stopping.
"Wow, Brother Wang Teng, you're so strong!"
"That's right. You are so handsome!" His younger cousin, Fang Qianwen, clenched her fists and nodded furiously.
"You're even more handsome… than our school beau!" Although Tian Xinyu was a little shy, she couldn't control her emotions and opened her mouth uncontrollably.
"Of course, those school beaus can't be compared to our older cousin," Fang Qianwen said with contempt.
"Wang Teng, you are so strong already!"
Even a mature adult like Wang Yanan was flabbergasted. She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Wang Yalong opened and closed his mouth. His throat felt a little dry, and his Adam's apple kept bobbling. However, he couldn't make any sound.
He remembered his previous thoughts and suddenly found it a joke.
Study properly and behave well. Turn over a new leaf. Everything was fake.
Ability was the only true power!
Wang Yalong felt that he was enlightened…
"Little Two, you gave birth to a good son!" Wang Shenghong couldn't help but sigh. He called his brother by his nickname unconsciously.
… Wang Shengguo was glad at first, but when he heard this nickname, his first turned black.
"Cough, that was a slip of the tongue!" Wang Shenghong realized his error and coughed awkwardly. He knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"Hahaha." Wang Teng's third uncle, Wang Shengjun, and his wife, Wang Jialing, burst out laughing.
"That's enough," Wang Shengguo said furiously.
"Honestly, I really admire you. You have such a good son," Wang Shengjun said.
"Little Teng is so impressive now. Why don't you ask him to guide Haoran in the future?" Wang Teng's third aunt said.
"Alright. You can ask Haoran to look for him whenever he's free," Wang Shengguo smiled and replied.
"Really? Thank you so much. With a martial warrior guiding him, our Haoran might have a chance to get into the martial arts course." His third aunt was elated.
"Little Teng is a martial warrior now. He will definitely be very busy. Don't keep asking Haoran to disturb him," Wang Shengjun said.
"I know, I know…"
"Little Teng is really outstanding. You two can just sit back and enjoy your lives in the future," Wang Huiling said to Li Xiumei enviously.
"Sigh, martial warrior is a dangerous status."
Li Xiumei was happy that Wang Teng was so outstanding, allowing her to gain admiration from her relatives. However, whenever she thought of all the dangers a martial warrior needed to experience, she was troubled and worried.
"That's true. They have to fight every day. It's indeed more dangerous. But, looking at how powerful Little Teng is, he should be fine as long as he's careful," Wang Jialing consoled her.
"Xiumei, how's your house in Deer Garden? We haven't looked at it yet," Zhao Huili interrupted them.
Li Xiumei smiled and replied, "After the banquet ends, you can come and take a look at the new house."
"Of course. Deer Garden is one of the best districts in Donghai. Many wealthy people have the money but can't live there. I need to see what's the difference with my own eyes." As Zhao Huili was speaking, she couldn't help but feel jealous. Her brother-in-law was really lucky to be able to give birth to such an outstanding son. He even got to live in Deer Garden.
Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Li looked at everyone with smiles on their faces. Nothing was better than seeing their families prosper.
In the past, the Wang family would have probably maintained a certain status among the small families. After years of development, it might be able to climb higher ten or twenty years later.
Now, with Wang Teng's appearance, they were able to see another future.
They might not need to wait ten or twenty years for the Wang family to run ahead of the other families. Instead, they might achieve a height their generation has never attained.
But…
Everything was only possible if the Wang family overcame the obstacle in front of them, though.
Ren Jianping!
Grandpa Wang felt uneasy when he remembered the calm but crazy gaze of the man.
No one knew what nasty things a dying man was capable of doing.
Also, what made him the most anxious was, old Ren Jianping seemed to have become really successful in recent years. He didn't know what his current situation was.
But, he could form some conclusions since the other party was able to command martial warriors.
The Wang family in the past could only die a terrible death under his revenge.
How fortunate!
Grandpa Wang looked at Wang Teng.
Fortunately, their Wang family wasn't fated to die. His grandson, Wang Teng, was smart and talented. He became a martial warrior at a young age and got into the Huanghai Military Academy. He had a bright future ahead.
Could it be that his ancestors were blessing him?
Hmph, he needed to take some time to visit his ancestors and pray for their blessings.
Wang Teng noticed his grandfather's gloomy mood. He knew what Grandpa Wang was thinking, so he comforted him in a low voice, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry too much."
"From what I see, the other party doesn't dare to create a scene in Donghai. If not, he wouldn't have done all those things behind our backs. He would have directly sought us out."
"I've entered the Huanghai Military Academy now; I have some background. After I get a firm foothold, we won't need to be afraid of him."
"We'll solve whatever matters that come. I'm here."
Grandpa Wang looked at Wang Teng's young but mature face. He smiled in relief. "Good, good. My grandson is getting more and more impressive. You can help Grandpa with my troubles now. The Wang family is fortunate to have you."
"Grandpa, what grudge does that Ren Jianping have against you?" Wang Teng asked again.
"That happened many years ago…" Grandpa Wang took a trip down memory lane. He told Wang Teng his past slowly.
Grandpa Wang and Ren Jianping came from the same village. At that time, they were good friends. They came out to make a living together, but in the end, they fell out and became enemies because of some matters.
The main reason why they fell out was because of Wang Teng's grandma.
Heroes loved beauty.
Grandpa Wang and Ren Jianping fell in love with Wang Teng's grandma at the same time.
Of course, Wang Teng's grandma chose Grandpa Wang in the end. This was the spark that caused their friendships to end in flames. Ren Jianping hated Grandpa Wang.
Later on, Ren Jianping even wanted to kill Grandpa Wang. Grandpa Wang got wind of the news beforehand, so he acted first. Ren Jianping lost completely.
Grandpa Wang thought that he had killed Ren Jianping, but after so many years, the other party appeared again suddenly and came to look for revenge.
Wang Teng had already come up with a melancholy 1980s drama in his mind after he listened to his grandpa. His expression was fascinating.

Chapter 161: The Day He Leaves Donghai Will Be The Day He Die!
Wang Teng felt amazed when he heard Grandpa Wang's exciting past.
"Little brat, why are you looking at me like that?"
Grandpa Wang instantly got angry from embarrassment when he noticed Wang Teng's strange gaze. He glared at Wang Teng.
"Hehe, nothing, nothing." Wang Teng sniggered. He continued, "Grandpa, I admire you for all your glorious deeds in the past!"
"Hmph, your grandpa was a hero when he was young," Grandpa Wang stroked his beard and said proudly.
"No wonder you were able to enchant my grandma," Wang Teng added.
"Of course. In the past…"
When Wang Teng noticed that the old man was about to reminisce about his past again, he said hurriedly, "Erm… Grandpa, someone is here to offer me a toast. Let me go attend to him."
After he finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for his grandpa's reply.
Today, Wang Teng was the main lead. Everyone buttered him up even more after they saw his display of strength.
Many people came to offer him a drink. They showered him with so many praises that he almost went numb.
Wang Shengguo was in the same situation. After some time, he got a bit dizzy from alcohol. Had Wang Shenghong and the others not helped him finish some drinks, he would have been wasted by now.
The happy banquet ended. When the guests left the Crown Hotel, they were still talking about Wang Teng.
Xu Jianbo turned around and exclaimed, "The Wang family is going to flourish!"
This was all because of Wang Teng.
He looked at his son and daughter. His daughter had also entered the martial arts course and was now a martial warrior.
However, she didn't possess Wang Teng's ability or temperament.
When Zhu Wu attacked just now, his daughter was obviously shocked. If she was the one facing that man, she might not be able to retaliate.
Not to mention suppressing the other party until he was unable to resist like Wang Teng.
"Little Hui, I don't know many things about the martial arts path, but I know that there's a huge risk. If you're unable to adapt, you should look for an office job in the future," Xu Jianbo said to his daughter.
Xu Hui bit her lips and remained silent for a moment. Then, she nodded and replied, "I'll think about it."
Xu Jianbo didn't say any more words to her. He turned and looked at Xu Jie. He asked, "Xu Jie, are you sure you want to go on the martial arts path? This route might be very dangerous. You saw what happened during the banquet. Death is a common thing for them."
Xu Jie nodded his head firmly and said, "Dad, I want to embark on this path!"
"Alright. Since you want to head in this direction, go ahead and do it. I will support you wholeheartedly," Xu Jianbo said with relief.
"I will work hard!" Xu Jie said.
"You are already close with Wang Teng. Maintain this relationship properly. Don't drift apart," Xu Jianbo said. "Little Jie, since you want to practice martial arts, you can seek Wang Teng's guidance when you have the time. It will be beneficial for you."
After sending all the guests away, Wang Teng, Grandpa Wang, and the Wang family came to a room.
Zhu Wu was locked up here after he got heavily injured by Wang Teng. His hands and legs were bound by metal chains, and he seemed dispirited. He was very weak.
Wang Teng lowered his head and looked down at the man. His face was cold.
"What do you want?" Zhu Wu asked fearfully. His heart pounded when he saw Wang Teng staring at him.
Wang Teng said, "Answer my questions, and I will let you go."
"Will you really let me go?" Zhu Wu asked suspiciously.
"You don't have any other choice. If you don't tell me, I will kill you now," Wang Teng said indifferently as a cold glimpse flashed past his eyes.
"Alright, ask." Zhu Wu gritted his teeth and chose to compromise.
Wang Teng noticed that he was still quite sensible, so he nodded and asked, "What's Ren Jianping's background?"
"At first, he was just an ordinary person. However, his grandson. Ren Qingcang, is a martial arts genius." Zhu Wu couldn't help but glance at Wang Teng when he said this.
"Continue!" Wang Teng said.
"Ren Qingcang is very talented. Leiting Martial House has high hopes for him. They even gave him an SS-grade contract. Later, the president of Leiting Martial House noticed him and took him in as his disciple. Within a few years, he became a 6-star soldier-level martial warrior. The Ren family benefited from this and gradually became a powerful family over the years," Zhu Wu said slowly.
"The direct disciple of Leiting Martial House's president!"
"A 6-star soldier-level martial warrior!"
Wang Shenghong and the others were dumbfounded.
No matter which status it was, their Wang family couldn't afford to provoke him.
The Wang family actually had such a huge enemy.
They thought that Wang Teng was only a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior. He couldn't be compared with Ren Qingcang at all.
In an instant, everyone felt stressed!
"No wonder Ren Jianping boasted about his grandson. He's referring to Ren Qingcang!" Grandpa Wang appeared composed as he spoke calmly.
"Dad, Ren Qingcang is so powerful and he's the direct disciple of the president of Leiting Martial House. How can our Wang family fight against him?" Zhao Huili said with a pale face.
"What are you nervous about?" Grandpa Wang scolded. Then, he continued, "No matter how powerful he is, can he come to Donghai and annihilate our Wang family?"
"Short-sighted. If you don't know anything, don't talk nonsense!" Wang Shenghong glared at her.
"Little Teng, are you confident?" Grandpa Wang asked Wang Teng.
Everyone turned to look at Wang Teng unconsciously when they heard this. He was the only martial warrior in the Wang family. If there was anyone that had a chance of resisting Ren Qingcang, it was Wang Teng.
Although there was a huge difference in their ability now, he might have a chance in the future.
"Ren Qingcang might have signed an SS-grade contract, but the one I signed… is an SSS-grade contract!" Wang Teng didn't say much. He just told everyone about the contract Jixin Martial House gave him.
"An SSS-grade contract!" Zhu Wu's eyes turned wide open. "You actually signed an SSS-grade contract!" He looked at Wang Teng in disbelief.
Wang Shenghong and the others didn't know the difference between an SS-grade contract and an SSS-grade contract. They just knew that there was an additional S, so it seemed more impressive.
Also, when they looked at Zhu Wu's expression, they felt that the SSS-grade contract must be pretty astonishing.
Everyone immediately saw hope in the situation.
"Give me some time. I will not be weaker than that Ren Qingcang!" Wang Teng said.
There were some things that Wang Teng didn't say.
Is a 6-star soldier-level martial warrior very powerful?
He only used less than two months to advance from a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior to a 3-star soldier-level martial warrior. In that case… will becoming a 6-star martial warrior be too far away?
I'm a bug. How can I lose!
"That's great! I knew that Little Teng wouldn't be weaker than that Ren Qingcang!" Zhao Huili said happily.
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. Who was the one that turned pale with fright just now?
This stupid woman!
Wang Shenghong wanted to cover his face. He felt incredibly embarrassed.
"It's good that you're confident. However, before your ability is strong enough, it's better to keep a low profile. Don't face Ren Qingcang head-on," Grandpa Wang said.
"Sure!"
"What do you plan to do with Zhu Wu?" Grandpa Wang asked.
"You said that as long as I reply to your question, you will let me go," Zhu Wu shouted. His expression also changed.
"Don't worry. I mean what I say. I'll release you now."
Wang Teng ordered someone to unlock the chains around his hands and feet and allowed him to leave.
Grandpa Wang couldn't help but frown when he looked at Zhu Wu's back view. "If you don't uproot the grass from its roots, there'll be no end of trouble for the future."
"Don't worry, Grandpa. The day he leaves Donghai will be the day he dies," Wang Teng said indifferently with a cold smile at the edge of his lips.

Chapter 162: Stop And Kill
Zhu Wu felt that he was extremely unlucky. At first, he thought that this was an easy task. He just needed to make a trip to Donghai and send a clock to a small family. He was able to do Ren Qingcang a favor, so why not?
Although Ren Qingcang might not help him even though he did him a favor, leaving a good impression was enough.
It was like going to the temple to pray. The deities might not remember you, but if you weren't willing to go to the temple at all, the deities would never care about you.
It might seem like an arduous and fruitless task at first, but it might have unexpected results at a crucial moment.
Ren Qingcang was the direct disciple of the president of Leiting Martial House, who was a prominent figure. He was at the peak of the general stage and was one of the most influential figures in the entire country. He just needed to give a little advantage, and as his direct disciple, Ren Qingcang would benefit for life.
Similarly, if he could get some benefits from Ren Qingcang's finger cracks, it would be enough for a normal martial warrior like him who didn't have any background.
Martial warriors mostly pursued interest. Zhu Wu had no grudges with the Wang family, yet he was willing to be Ren Qingcang's pawn and complete tasks for him because of interest.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect Wang Teng to be so strong. He didn't even release much strength, but he had already suppressed him. He couldn't retaliate at all.
"That kid is a little strange. Didn't they say that he just became a martial warrior? It had only been one summer break. How can he be so strong? Even a normal genius won't improve at such a rapid pace." Zhu Wu was frustrated. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, even if he has some ability, what can he do? Can he be compared to Ren Qingcang?"
"He's quite stupid too. I answered his questions, and he really let me go. Doesn't he know what it means to release a tiger back to the forest?" A look of contempt appeared on his face. He thought to himself furiously, "When I go back to Capital Xia, everything will depend on what I say. I can tell Ren Qingcang that this fellow is quite powerful, and I managed to escape after suffering serious injuries. Then, I will exaggerate and tell him how he humiliated Ren Qingcang. Ren Qingcang will definitely send more powerful martial warriors to Donghai. I don't believe that the Wang family can still survive after all this."
Zhu Wu rushed to the airport without stopping. He didn't feel secure staying in Donghai. He must go back to Capital Xia as soon as possible.
An hour later, he boarded the plane.
The plane took off slowly and headed to Capital Xia.
When the plane left Donghai, Zhu Wu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He had just relaxed his tense mind when his eyes suddenly widened. He clutched his heart painfully.
"How… how is this possible?"
Zhu Wu didn't understand what was happening. He squeezed his last sentence out with difficulty. Then, his head drooped down. He died.
At the last second, Wang Teng's face flashed past his mind. He never thought of letting me go—I'm the stupid one!
What a joke!
Not long after the banquet ended, the Wang family followed Wang Teng's family and went to their new house at Deer Garden.
After touring the villa, everyone chatted casually in the living room.
"The environment here is excellent. When I came in, I saw many security guards patrolling the area," Zhao Huili said.
"Yes, there's no need to worry about the security here. I heard that even martial warriors don't dare to create trouble here," Li Xiumei's sister, Li Xiulan, said.
"After all, most of the people living here are the family members of martial warriors. Any one of them can be a formidable person you can't provoke. Who dares to create trouble here?" Wang Jialing said.
At the other corner, Wang Teng was with the younger generation. His pupils flickered slightly.
Hmph, Zhu Wu will definitely be surprised by the little present I left in his body.
Actually, it was just a thin needle with his spiritual power infused on it. Wang Teng couldn't stretch his spiritual power for such a long distance. However, if he left a little of his spiritual power on an object, it wouldn't disperse for some time. He was able to use the telepathy between spiritual powers to perform some simple operations. For instance, detonation.
He didn't just leave some of his spiritual power on the thin needle; he also left some fire Force.
Wang Teng had placed the thin needle at the edge of Zhu Wu's heart. Once he ignited it, it would stab right into Zhu Wu's heart.
Even a martial warrior would not be able to handle this. Hence, Wang Teng wasn't worried that he would be lucky and survive. He knew that Zhu Wu would die on the spot.
Unfortunately, he couldn't pick up the attribute bubbles because they were too far away…
For the next two days, Wang Teng went to look for Lin Chuxia in the day to pick up poison attributes, accompanied his parents, and taught Doudou at night. At midnight, he would sneak into the western suburb mental hospital to pick spirit attributes. His life was really fulfilling.
Very soon, it was the first day of university.
Wang Teng's family had already moved into their new home in Deer Garden.
Li Xiumei was checking Wang Teng's luggage. At the same time, she kept nagging at him like a doting mother. Her hands didn't stop moving either. She stuffed everything useful and useless into his luggage bag.
"Mom, this is enough. If you stuff any more things, it won't close." Wang Teng was caught between laughter and tears.
"I can close it. Your mom is a master at this. No matter how many things I put inside, I will close it for you," Li Xiumei said confidently. Her hands didn't slow down at all.
"But, why are you packing so many things? The school sells everything, and it is situated beside the university town. I can come back anytime. There's no need to bring so many things at once," Wang Teng said helplessly.
"I heard that military academies are really strict. They don't allow you to leave school at normal times," Li Xiumei said.
"It's not that exaggerated. I have to use the items the school provided for certain things. They might not even allow me to bring the things you placed inside through the school gates."
"Huh? They won't allow you to bring them in?"
Wang Teng persuaded his mom with all means and finally made her give up the idea of letting him carry three luggage bags with him to university.
"Brother Wang Teng, are you going to school?" Doudou sat on the sofa and stared at the busy Li Xiumei with her big eyes. Then, she turned her head to ask Wang Teng.
"That's right. I'm going to school. You must be obedient at home, okay?" Wang Teng squatted down and patted her head.
Doudou nodded her small head and replied, "Okay, I will be obedient."
"Good girl."
"But, if Brother Wang Teng isn't at home, who will teach me martial arts?" Doudou thought for a moment, tilted her head, and asked.
Wang Teng recalled Doudou's recent performance. Her perseverance had astounded him. He contemplated for a moment and said, "When I'm not home, you don't have to practice. Wait for me to come back and teach you, alright?"
"Okay, I will wait for Brother to come back." Doudou nodded her head earnestly.
Li Xiumei couldn't help but smile when she saw the two people chatting at the side. Doudou had been exceptionally obedient for the past few days. She was more obedient than her peers. It made people like her but feel sad for her too.
Half an hour later, Wang Teng dragged a luggage bag and went out of the house.
"Perform well in school. Don't worry about the family," Wang Shengguo stood at the entrance and said as he looked at him.
Wang Teng said, "Don't worry. But, if there's anything, you must give me a call."
Wang Shengguo nodded.
"Go ahead!"
Wang Teng glanced at Li Xiumei and Wang Shengguo again. Then, he turned around and left without any hesitation. He didn't ask them to send him off.
