"Wang Teng … won?!"
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the figure in the sky above the arena. Their expressions were filled with indescribable shock.
Their gazes shifted from Wang Teng's face to his hands and the figure that was being carried.
"It's Faramir!"
A cry of surprise rang out.
Faramir was bleeding all over, and the scales on his body were shattered. He looked extremely miserable. It was obvious that he had been beaten to a pulp.
The thick arm that had reverted back to its ancestral form was hanging limply, as if it had no bones.
Looking at Wang Teng, he was as calm as ever. It was as if he had not experienced a huge battle and had just gone out for a stroll.
Everyone was finally certain that Wang Teng had really defeated this dark apparition!
This was not an illusion!
They were not seeing things!
The originally arrogant and insufferably arrogant dark apparition was now being held in Wang Teng's hands like a dead dog.
What else could be more convincing than this?
Many ordinary warriors felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from their hearts. Their original fear and panic disappeared without a trace, and they could not help but cheer loudly.
"Wang Teng!"
"Wang Teng!"
"Wang Teng!"
…
The warriors from all over the Qian Empire, as well as the spectators outside Warstar, were all shouting Wang Teng's name to vent their suppressed emotions.
Before this, everyone's support for Wang Teng was a form of acknowledgment of his strength and talent.
Now, however, they could not help but feel a trace of respect and admiration in their hearts!
A warrior who could easily defeat a dark apparition was a warrior that the Qian Empire could be proud of!
Everyone feared the dark apparition from the bottom of their hearts, but Wang Teng had killed it like a dog.
Such a strong contrast formed a stark contrast!
How could they not be shocked!
Within the Army's giant fortress, General Fu Xinglan and the others had returned. They did not find any traces of other dark apparitions and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, they also saw the live broadcast on the screen and smiled.
"This kid!" General Habakkak laughed. "He really has some skills!"
"Defeating a martial artist who was bewitched by a dark apparition in a fair and square manner is enough to restore morale. It seems like he has understood our intentions. Well done." General Fu Xinglan nodded with satisfaction in his eyes.
"That's good!" General Tang Wuwei nodded.
"In a moment, have someone bring Faramir back for interrogation to prevent any mistakes." General Fu Xinglan muttered.
"Of course," General Habakkak agreed.
"That's right, that attack just now should have been caused by light origin power, right?"
"It should be light origin power. I didn't expect him to have cultivated light origin power to such an extent. This brat is truly a monster." General Fu Xinglan sighed.
"I'm starting to think more and more highly of him. Perhaps he really will be able to reach that level in the future," General Habakak said in a serious manner.
General Fu Xinglan and General Tang Wuwei's eyes flickered, and they couldn't help but nod.
…
On the royal family's ship, the middle-aged royal family man smiled and said, "This brat really didn't disappoint me."
"I didn't expect this Wang Teng to defeat a martial artist who was bewitched by a dark apparition so easily and perfectly resolve this matter," the royal family's sector lord elder said with a complicated expression.
"I'll go take a look at the military department." The royal family middle-aged man didn't say anything else. He left behind a sentence and disappeared.
"A hybrid?" The sector lord elder's eyes flickered as he looked at the direction where the middle-aged man disappeared and pondered.
…
On the Pyrax family's ship, the Raging Flames Sector Lord and the others were expressionless as they looked at the young man on the screen.
"How good would it be if we didn't become enemies with him."
At this moment, the Raging Flames Sector Lord had such a ridiculous thought.
Walthegu, Sinkraymond, and the others didn't say anything. However, their flickering eyes proved that their hearts weren't calm at all.
Jade Star, Wu Xingyun, Master Han, and the others finally relaxed. When they saw a martial artist bewitched by a dark apparition appear in the Genius Battle, they broke out in cold sweat for Wang Teng.
A martial artist who was bewitched by a dark apparition appeared in the Genius Battle and was even encountered by Wang Teng. They didn't know what kind of luck this was.
Fortunately, Wang Teng successfully dealt with him!
Now that they relaxed, they couldn't help but be shocked. They didn't expect dark apparitions to exist in the universe. Moreover, they were much stronger than the dark apparitions that appeared on Earth.
If such a powerful dark apparition appeared on Earth, Earth would have been finished long ago. There would be no chance for it to rise again.
"It seems that other than various challenges and dangers in the universe, there are also threats from dark apparitions," Wu Xingyun said with a serious expression.
"It's said that the defense planet that Wang Teng went to was to defend against dark apparitions." Master Han sighed. "Using a planet to defend against dark apparitions. How tragic is the situation there?"
"Yes!" Hong Shuai and the others were deeply touched. Their expressions were serious as they said, "The situation in the universe is much more complicated than we imagined. We have to become stronger as soon as possible."
"I don't know what Wang Teng went through to be able to grow to this extent in such a short period of time." Han Zhu and the others sighed with mixed feelings.
…
On the Battle Rock Mercenary Group's spaceship, Lin Chuhan gently exhaled. His nervous expression relaxed slightly.
Why is this fellow so worrisome even during a competition?!
Lin Chuhan couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
…
In the sky above the arena, Wang Teng landed with Faramir. Immediately, a team of military martial artists appeared and took Faramir away.
Faramir seemed to have stopped breathing, but in reality, he was only heavily injured. He wasn't completely dead yet. Wang Teng had left him with one last breath.
Wang Teng knew that this matter wouldn't end here. However, he still had to continue with the competition, so he couldn't care too much for now.
Then, he returned to the stone platform in the first forbidden area. As soon as he sat down and stretched, he immediately attracted the complicated gazes of the second prince and the others.
Ji Haochen sized up Wang Teng. Seeing that he wasn't injured at all, he couldn't help but say, "You're too sick."
Stretch and Lan Deng looked at Wang Teng with mixed feelings.
They had to admit that there were some things that they couldn't do, but Wang Teng could do very well.
If they encountered the same situation, they probably wouldn't be able to do what Wang Teng did.
"How am I sick?" Wang Teng was speechless.
"That's a martial artist who obtained the power of darkness. You defeated him so easily. Isn't that sick enough?" Ji Haochen said.
"It's okay. Actually, this Faramir isn't as strong as you think. If you meet him, you can also defeat him easily," Wang Teng said.
"Do you think we're blind? We can't tell if Faramir is strong or not." Di Moses couldn't help but interrupt.
"Cough, cough. I was afraid of hurting you, so I comforted you." Wang Teng saw that he was ruthlessly exposed and couldn't help but let out a dry cough.
"We really have to thank you." Ji Haochen was speechless.
Who comforted people like this? It couldn't be any more fake!
Saying that Faramir wasn't strong was just to set off your own strength.
Old Versailles!
"Wang Teng, are you sure that was a mixed-blood?" At this time, the second prince asked in a serious voice.
"Second Prince also knows about the existence of mixed-blood?" Wang Teng didn't rush to answer. Instead, he asked another question.
"People like us have more or less heard about it." Ji Haochen said.
Wang Teng nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that these people from the upper clans knew more than he thought.
"Faramir is indeed a mixed-blood!" Wang Teng didn't hide it and nodded.
The second prince took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid there will be a problem with the appearance of a mixed-blood."
"Although the mixed-blood has half the blood of the dark world, the other half has the blood of the light faction. Are they all enemies?" Wang Teng couldn't help but ask as he thought of Little Violet Night and the others he met in the low-level dark world.
"This matter isn't that simple." The second prince looked deeply at Wang Teng and said.
Wang Teng's eyes flashed. From the second prince's words, he could already guess how the upper echelons of the light faction viewed the mixed-blood.
"After all, the mixed-blood has half the blood of the dark apparitions. Although some of them lean towards the light faction and hope to return, there are also some who lean towards the dark faction." The second prince didn't say it directly this time. Instead, he transmitted a message.
"So, once this opening is opened, it's equivalent to giving the dark apparitions a chance." Wang Teng's heart skipped a beat. He continued, "A chance to enter our world easier!"
"Yes, it seems like you already understand." The second prince nodded. "We once speculated that there were a lot of mixed-blood. If all of them returned, our world would be riddled with holes and would no longer be an obstacle in the eyes of the dark world."
Wang Teng sighed in his heart. How could he not understand this?
However, those mixed-blood were indeed pitiful. Were they going to fall into the darkness forever and never see the light again?
"This time, the mixed-blood brazenly appeared in the Battle of the Geniuses. Regardless of whether it's the Qian Empire or the Seven Star Academies, it's a huge provocation. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble," the second prince said.
"This world isn't just black and white." Wang Teng said meaningfully and didn't say anything else.
The second prince glanced at him, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes. It was as if he didn't expect him to say such a thing.
However, seeing that Wang Teng had already closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, the second prince could only swallow his words.
However, this sentence still lingered in his heart for a long time. He couldn't figure out what Wang Teng meant by this sentence.
After Wang Teng closed his eyes, his mind silently sank into the attribute panel.
In the battle just now, he had picked up quite a few dark attribute bubbles.
However, most of them were the Dark Star Force and the Dark Esoteric Meaning. They weren't very useful to Wang Teng.
His Dark Star Force had already reached Level Nine Perfection, and his Dark Esoteric Meaning was also at Level Ten Perfection.
Only the Black Fog Territory was relatively new!
However, Wang Teng didn't plan to use it alone. Instead, he planned to integrate it into the Dark Territory.
Other things aside, the black fog born from the Black Fog Territory had a very strong ability to confuse and conceal. It could be considered a very good ability.
If this black fog was integrated into the Dark Territory, it would be equivalent to having an additional means of attack, and it would make the Dark Territory even more powerful.
With this thought in mind, he took advantage of the fact that the insights in the attribute bubbles hadn't completely dissipated to merge the two territories.
When absorbing the insights from the attribute bubbles, it was when the insights were the deepest.
It was as if a light bulb had suddenly appeared in his mind. Wang Teng only needed to seize this light bulb.
You don't mind if I hitch a ride, right?
Although the match between Wang Teng and Faram had already ended, the battle just now was still being discussed enthusiastically.
As a result, many people weren't in the mood to watch the next few matches.
Fortunately, after the Crown Prince appeared, the audience's attention was finally pulled back.
The Crown Prince VS Lu Tai!
Lu Tai was ranked fifth in the third restricted area of the elimination round. He wasn't weak, but when he found out that his opponent was the Crown Prince, his entire face turned green.
It wasn't easy for him to make it to the top 36, but in the end, he encountered the Crown Prince. It seemed that he could only go this far.
Even so, he could only brace himself and go on stage to have the final battle with the Crown Prince.
Both sides appeared in the sky.
The battle had begun!
The two of them didn't say anything unnecessary and directly began to collide.
Lu Tai's strength was indeed very good. He was a wood-element martial artist. With a battle sword in hand, he erupted with streaks of green sword light, giving off a feeling of endless vitality as he continuously bombarded out.
This sword technique was undoubtedly very powerful and quite extraordinary, which surprised many people.
Lu Tai relied on this sword technique and the 100% wood-element profundity that he had comprehended to reach this stage.
Unfortunately, he encountered the Crown Prince and was defeated in the end.
The Crown Prince's sword technique was very domineering. It directly passed through the middle of Lu Tai's sword light and struck Lu Tai's chest, causing him to vomit blood and be seriously injured.
After the battle, everyone was amazed by the Crown Prince's sword technique. It was probably comparable to Su Jianchen's.
This was very shocking!
One had to know that not only was Crown Prince's sword technique powerful, but he also had other means. On the other hand, Su Jianchen used his sword technique to dominate the genius competition.
Now, many people thought that the Crown Prince's sword technique was comparable to Su Jianchen's or even stronger. It was undoubtedly another increase in their estimation of the Crown Prince's strength.
Su Jianchen wasn't afraid at all. Instead, the battle intent in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. He was extremely eager to fight with the Crown Prince.
In the Tianluo Empire, the King of the Tianluo Empire looked at the battle that had just ended on the screen and frowned.
"King, what do you think of the Crown Prince's sword technique compared to Jianchen's?" The Sector Lord below asked.
"It's hard to say." The King of the Tianluo Empire shook his head and said, "The Crown Prince has only used one sword technique so far, but I can see that he has more than one sword technique."
"More than one sword technique!" The people below took a deep breath. They felt that it was very troublesome and were worried for Su Jianchen.
"There's no need for that. Jianchen has successfully entered the top 18 and is very close to the top 10. I believe that he will definitely enter the top 10," the King of the Tianluo Empire said.
…
Wang Teng picked up the attribute bubbles that the Crown Prince and Lu Tai had dropped.
[Overlord Emperor's 12 Swords (Sword One) * 3000]
[Overlord Emperor's Finger * 1600]
[Metal Element Star Force * 8200]
[Wood Element Star Force * 7800]
[Wood Esoteric * 3500]
[Sacred Wood Element Talent * 2600]
[Qingyuan Sword Technique * 4000]
…
As the attribute bubbles merged into Wang Teng's body, a series of realizations appeared in his mind.
[Overlord Emperor's 12 Swords] had been upgraded, but it was a pity that it was still at the entry level.
[Overlord Emperor's 12 Swords (Sword One)]: 750010000 (Entry)
[Overlord Emperor's Finger] had also been upgraded from entry level to proficiency. The next time he fought with the Crown Prince, if he used [Overlord Emperor's Finger], he wondered if the Crown Prince would be shocked.
However, after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it. He was only at the proficiency level. The Crown Prince, the original owner, must have cultivated to a higher level.
Wang Teng knew his limits and wouldn't use his weakness to clash with the Crown Prince's strength.
[Overlord Emperor's Finger]: 1005000 (Proficiency)
Looking at the attribute panel, Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction. Although he couldn't do it now, there would be a day when he could surpass the Crown Prince.
What surprised Wang Teng was that there was another Sacred Wood Element Talent!
Lu Tai had actually dropped a Sacred Wood Element Talent, and this talent happened to be a Sacred Talent that Wang Teng didn't have.
[Sacred Wood Element Talent]: 260050000
The surprise came a little too suddenly, and Wang Teng felt that he should thank Lu Tai.
En, have a safe journey!
In addition, Lu Tai had also dropped a sword technique attribute — Qingyuan Sword Technique!
This was a Sector Lord-level Wood Element Sword Technique, and it was the one that Lu Tai had used before. It was quite powerful, and Wang Teng happily accepted it.
[Qingyuan Sword Technique]: 10005000 (Proficiency)
A total of 4,000 attribute points. This sword technique directly went from entry level to proficiency, saving Wang Teng a lot of time.
Following the end of the Crown Prince's battle, another battle was held, and the top 18 were finally decided.
Wang Teng's gaze swept across them, and almost all of them were familiar faces.
The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, Stretch, Lan Deng, Ji Haochen, Di Moses, Sawyer, Xiahou Zun, Ling Yangxu, Bokta, Leng Qianxue, Jiang Weisheng, Gunter, Su Jianchen, Rabbit Little Eight, Yue Qiqiao, and Situ Wan 'er.
These people had all entered the top 18!
And the last person was Wang Teng himself!
The others were also sizing each other up. After all, they were going to compete for the top 10!
The top 10 was too important!
Only by entering the top 10 would they have the right to choose the Seven Star Academies that they liked. Otherwise, they could only be chosen without any autonomy.
Wang Teng was very surprised because he saw Situ Wan 'er.
This woman who didn't look very strong had actually reached this step and surpassed most cultivators.
There was even Jiang Weisheng, the genius of the Jiang royal family. His sister had been kicked out, but he had persevered.
To Wang Teng's regret, there were still two people from the Pyrax family who had entered the top 18.
But there was nothing he could do. He couldn't meet them in the competition.
He couldn't control the matching of the participants in the competition.
But it didn't matter. In the next round, everyone would have to fight, and they would definitely meet.
"Congratulations, everyone, for entering the top 18. Your strength has been recognized by everyone!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the light ball.
"Next, you have ten days to rest. After ten days, the top 10 will compete!"
