This fellow’s strength is incredible!
He made it look so easy!
How is that possible?
Did Han Zhu release his grip because he subconsciously knew that his comrade was here?
Yes, that must be it!
The judge started comforting himself…
Wang Teng didn’t know what the judge was thinking. After passing Han Zhu to the medical personnel, he grabbed the long rod with one hand.
“Don’t pull a stunt. How can you lift it with one hand?” the judge reminded him speechlessly.
Wang Teng didn’t reply to him. Strength surged into his arm, and he lifted it up.
Crack!
An ear-piercing sound of friction rang out as the long rod got forcefully pulled out by him. He turned and said to the judge, “What did you say just now?”
The judge: … He started questioning the world.
“Hahaha… you are very strong.” The judge laughed awkwardly.
The audience found this scene funny for some reason.
“I wonder what the judge is thinking now.”
“Haha, this judge is funny.” “But Wang Teng seems really strong.”
“I think so too. Could his ability…”
“It’s hard to say. I’m suddenly anticipating his future matches.”
The commentator said in surprise, “Wang Teng’s strength is powerful. I thought that after Han Zhu lost, Huanghai had no more chances. But, it looks like they still have Wang Teng!”
“I have high hopes for Wang Teng now,” the other commentator, Su Xiao, laughed and said.
Because of their appreciative words, the audience’s attention towards Wang Teng increased. Those that didn’t care about him started commenting too. In the arena, Zhao Yuanwu’s gaze flickered a little as he sized up Wang Teng seriously.
He had personally experienced Han Zhu’s power. Wang Teng was able to pry his fingers easily and move the rod. This meant that his ability wasn’t lower than Han Zhu’s. He might even be stronger.
At this moment, he started to consider Wang Teng on equal footing. Their gazes collided in mid-air momentarily, but they didn’t say anything.
Wang Teng held Han Zhu’s long rod and walked down. Pick! Pick!
He swept the arena with his spiritual power and picked up the various attribute bubbles.
Earth Force*70
Fire Force*86
Flaming Blade Presence*35
Flaming blade presence? Another presence attribute.
There were indeed many talents in the National Number One Martial Arts Competition. A typical martial warrior wouldn’t be able to enlighten his presence easily, yet many participants here had achieved it.
Wang Teng already possessed a ninth-level blade presence, so when the presence attribute merged into his body, he had a deeper understanding of his blade presence.
By the time he walked down the arena, he understood everything.
No one noticed the fiery red glow flashing past his eyes. There seemed to be flames burning in them.
On the other side, Zhao Yuanwu, who was also walking down the arena, sensed something and turned to look at Wang Teng’s back.
He frowned and muttered to himself, “That feeling just now… Was it an illusion?”
When the competition ended, everyone went back.
At night, in the hotel.
Peng Yuanshan gathered everyone.
Wang Teng scanned the crowd. He noticed that many of his teammates were wounded. Wan Baiqiu and Han Zhu had suffered the most grievous injuries. They were still pale and looked frail. Injuries were inevitable during a martial warrior’s battle. However, not many people fought fiercely and mercilessly like Zhao Yuanwu.
Of course, this wasn’t controllable. When two parties were on par in terms of ability, they would try their best to win, and in the process, serious injuries might occur.
Peng Yuanshan noticed that everyone had arrived, so he opened his mouth and said, “Today, Huanghai… suffered a crushing defeat.”
Everyone lowered their heads in embarrassment.
They came full of confidence. However, they weren’t even halfway through the competition, but they had already had a sound beating. “Wan Baiqiu!” Peng Yuanshan suddenly called her name.
“Yes.” Wan Baiqiu raised her head. Her face was white.
“Do you know your mistake?” Peng Yuanshan asked.
“I’m not strong enough. I shouldn’t have persevered. It angered my opponent,” Wan Baiqiu said.
“You’re wrong.” Peng Yuanshan shook his head. “Your mistake is you didn’t recognize the difference between your opponent and you. If it’s a war and you meet an enemy who’s much stronger than you, you should run immediately. Even if you were given an explicit order and had to fight, you should think of other methods and not collide head-on, making unnecessary sacrifices. That is useless.”
“I…” Wan Baiqiu’s face turned paler. She went into deep thought.
“Think about it properly.” Peng Yuanshan didn’t continue. He told everyone to recuperate properly before waving his hand and asking them to leave.
However, he kept Wang Teng back.
