1485 Almost Matching the Crown Prince in Ranking! (2)
Unfortunately, the sharks’ opponent was Wang Teng, a freak with superb spiritual power.
The seven Force sharks traveled through the water at great speed, and entered his spiritual net. Wang Teng detected their presence.
“Interesting!” His gaze turned sharp as he released punches continuously, his feet unmoving, creating currents that crashed accurately onto the seven virtual sharks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
!!
However, just when he thought he had succeeded, the seven attacks exploded and a terrifying shockwave was swept over.
Wang Teng was stunned by the blasts’ astonishing power. He immediately took action, using Space Flash to escape to some place a few thousand meters away.
Wang Teng frowned, as he didn’t expect the Force sharks to explode. He would have been injured by them if he hadn’t moved in time.
He glanced around and noticed that the seven sharks had taken the chance to make a getaway.
They were more than ten miles away.
He wouldn’t allow them to leave. Using a spatial move again, he reappeared on the back of another shark and slammed his fist down.
Boom!
The sea beast died on the spot.
Within a few breaths, the remaining seven Hellish Sea Tiger Sharks were killed. Wang Teng’s speed was astonishing.
His points skyrocketed and his rank gradually creeped up to no. 8, then to no. 7, to no. 6 And yet, it showed no signs of stopping, until it moved all the way to no. 2.
He rose eight ranks in one go, and was just behind the Crown Prince!
Everyone was mind blown, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.
Such a rise was too fast!
The leap entailed more than a hundred thousand points. That was an insurmountable gap to basically all of the candidates.
However, it felt extremely easy to Wang Teng; so easy it was unbelievable.
Strachey from the Parkers family exclaimed, “What happened? Wang Teng rose to second place!”
“He’s only thirty thousand points away from the Crown Prince and twenty thousand points above the original no. 2 holder, Timothy from the Cavendish family.” Landon was in disbelief as he stared at the points on the ranking board.
“Damn it, is he so powerful?” Strachey gritted his teeth, feeling frustrated. “No, I don’t believe it. It doesn’t matter if I lose to him this round; I will definitely show him the strength of the Parkers family in the next match.”
There was only one and a half days left for that round to end. Strachey knew he couldn’t catch up with Wang Teng, so he placed his hopes on the arena battle.
An elimination match wasn’t the same as the latter. There were no one vs one fights, so it was hard to gauge a fighter’s strength.
In another areaJin Tiankuang and the others had also noticed the young hero’s points and rank. Their expressions froze.
They had been looking down on Wang Teng, feeling he probably had a weak foundation because he had taken more than twenty days to squeeze into the top ten. Hence, they didn’t view him as a threat.
But now, he surpassed all of them and reached a position they couldn’t touch.
Jin Tiankuang’s expression looked conflicted. He felt awkward.
“I was surpassed!” Timothy from the Cavendish family also knew Wang Teng. A sharp glint flashed past his eyes when he saw the change but he wasn’t mad. Instead, he became more interested in Wang Teng’s ability.
“Huh? Wang Teng?” Ji Haochen from the Ji family was shocked. “He jumped to no. 2? What did he do? Did he kill a high-tier imperial star beast?”
“Wang Teng!” Xiahou Zun’s gaze turned sharp. There was a great upheaval in his heart, making it hard to remain composed.
The fellow was very famous.
He had seen the grand spectacle the military had put up before the competition.
However, he didn’t pay much attention to it since the League of Talents was a contest of strength in the end. Such pre-hype was unnecessary, as they would ultimately have to fight to know one another’s power.
Still, from the looks of it, this fellow is really strong.
I hope I can meet him in the next round!
There was a fighting drive in his eyes.
“The fellow in second place is that talent from the military!” Sawyer from the Perez family raised his eyebrows when he saw the change in ranking.
“Wang Teng, you really surprised me.” The Second Prince was originally in third place, but he was pushed further down, now being in fourth place. He shook his head, feeling he had underestimated that youth.
In the participants’ waiting areathe Third Prince was fuming. He felt as if trampled upon and was greatly embarrassed.
Most importantly, he had some conflicts with the young hero. At first, he thought that Wang Teng was just a talented warrior who could be easily ordered around.
However, the latter didn’t accept his favor and even offended him.
The noble didn’t take him seriously, seeing the young man as an impudent fool.
He was the Third Prince of the empire. What right did a baron with a celestial stage cultivation to talk back to him?
But, after seeing the young fellow surpass him, his haughty posture became a joke.
All the dukedoms’ talents and the princes were arrogant people. Wang Teng’s sudden appearance caused a tremor in their state of mind.
In the depths of the seahot air was rising up from the seabed. The water had turned crimson from the heat.
A figure stood there, disregarding the scorching heat around him. His face was covered in a faint glow, and his aura was outstanding. Divine light was shot of his black pupils, seemingly able to see through everything.
The figure glanced at the ranking and astonishment flashed past his eyes.
On the live chat platformthe audience finally reacted and started commenting furiously.
“Oh my god, Wang Teng jumped to second place!”
“This is the no. 2 of Zone 1! Unbelievable!”
“I thought his limit was no. 5 but he used half a day to climb to no. 2.”
“This is heaven-defying!”
“Incredible!”
“Second place in Zone 1 and no. 1 in four other zones. Even if Wang Teng can’t reach first place, I think he’s on par with the Crown Prince.”
“That’s right. This is amazing.”
“Amazing!”
“Remarkable! Spectacular!”
Wang Teng became the center of attention again. Not even the Crown Prince could steal his limelight.
Of course, our hero didn’t know what was happening and he didn’t care. He only cared about his gains.
Countless attribute bubbles were dropped, following the death of the three Oceanic Unicorn Whales and the eight Hellish Sea Tiger Sharks.
That was the real business.
Wang Teng released his spiritual power and collected all the attribute bubbles floating in the water.
Constellation Force (Water)*8500
Constellation Force (Water)*12000
Divine Level Water Talent*6500
Oceanic Ultrasonic Beam*3800
Whale Swallow (fourth-rank)*6400
Oceanic Whale Whistle*4000
Water Domain*2500
Blank Attribute*36500
Force Shark Bomb*1000
Force Shark Bomb*1200
Force Shark Bomb*1500
Force Shark Bomb*1000
Blank Attribute*18800
So many attributes! His eyes lit up, not knowing what to focus on as all the attribute bubbles merged into his body.
The constellation water Force was self-explanatory, and what he had previously accumulated was already at the perfected ninth level of the celestial stage.
He also got another divine level talent.
The divine level water talent.
Wang Teng’s water talent jumped from emperor to the imperial level. It was worth celebrating.
Divine Level Water Talent: 6500/50000
He had to admit that, being among the most powerful existences in the sea, the Oceanic Unicorn Whales were indeed extremely talented.
If they were allowed to mature, they could reach the titan-level.
Once fully grown, the Battle Planet would be unable to stop them from leaving.
Moving on, three special battle techniques were among the attributes collected.
One was the Oceanic Ultrasonic Beam.
As the attribute bubble merged into his mind, Wang Teng gradually understood what the skill was.
The giant outline of a whale appeared in his mindspace. A dazzling blue beam of light blossomed and shot out from the spiral horn on its head.
That was the terrifying attack the great whale had performed some time before.
