Song Yicheng and the others were puzzled.

What is there to consider?

They felt that Wang Teng would choose Zone 1 without a doubt, but he seemed to be caught in a dilemma.

Why is he hesitating? Considering his ability, getting first place was probably unlikely but his ranking would still be good if he went there.

They wanted to probe further but chose to leave after seeing the young colonel’s expression.

“What are you thinking?” Round Ball asked when it saw him standing still.

“Round Ball, do you think we can go to more than one zone?” the young man asked in his mind as he looked at Song Yicheng’s back view.

“Huh?” the little fellow though it had misheard. “More than one forbidden zone?”

“Yes.” Wang Teng nodded.

“Are you thinking…” The small helper had a strange expression. This fellow is quite bold.

“There’s no rule saying we can’t do it, right?” the young man asked.

“I think…” Round Ball recalled the rules of the elimination match before replying.

“That’s good.” Wang Teng had a great idea.

…

While the young hero was torn between decisions—the audience on the live chat platform were curious, wondering why he hadn’t moved yet.

Much attention was on him since he was among the popular candidates.

All his actions would be magnified because of this. Some guessed he was hesitating because he didn’t dare head to Zone 1.

On the other side, Strachey and the others from the Parkers family were getting impatient. Someone asked, “What’s he doing? Does he know what we’re planning? Is he trying to stay until the very last moment to force us to act first?”

“I heard he’s a shameless one, so that might really be his plan,” another member of the Parkers said.

“Our ancestor asked us to take care of him, but what can we do if he doesn’t move? This is tough.”

“Landon, any good ideas?” Strachey asked with an ugly expression.

“What ideas will I have? Wait, he seems to be moving…” Landon suddenly exclaimed in delight.

Strachey and the others blinked and quickly looked at their enemy.

A few more figures had appeared around him.

Those figures looked exactly like Wang Teng!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

There were five Wang Tengs!

Strachey and the others: ???

The Parkers were bewildered.

What is this?

Why are there four more of him?

They weren’t the only ones at a loss. The audience on the live chat platforms were stunned as well. All they could see was several Wang Tengs, their heads full of question marks.

What the hell is happening?

“Clones!” Strachey’s expression turned grim. “They must be clones!”

“He has a clone skill!” Landon was shocked. Then, he regained his composure and frowned. “Why is he making clones of himself?”

Just then, the five Wang Tengs smiled at the Parkers’ participants and soared into space.

Then, the group of five separated and rushed towards different forbidden zones.

Strachey couldn’t hold back anymore. “F**k!”

He thought that Wang Teng was using the clone skill to tackle them.

They wouldn’t know which was the real one.

This bastard is sly!

What a weirdo! How did he come up with such a plan?

“After him!” Strachey couldn’t care about the others and chased after one of the Wang Tengs.

The others regained their senses and asked, “Which one?”

Strachey gritted his teeth and said, “Landon and I will head to Zone 1. I don’t think he would go to the other zones. The rest of you can move to the other zones.”

One of the five Wang Tengs entered Zone 1.

Strachey believed that the guy wouldn’t give up going to Zone 1; his true form would surely go there.

Within a few seconds, all the talents from the Parkers family entered the forbidden zones.

At the same time—the other candidates were entering the different zones and started hunting.

Zone 1.

Wang Teng’s true form was indeed there. His four other clones entered Zones 2, 3, 5 and 7.

He glanced around him and saw the sea. Everywhere was pitch-black, like a bottomless abyss.

Zone 1 was the forbidden sea!

Candidates descended from the skies, hovering just above the water. They didn’t dive right in, choosing to observe first.

Boom!

Suddenly, a black shadow shattered the calm surface of the sea and swallowed a martial warrior.

The martial warrior turned into a ball of blood mist before he could even scream, dying on the spot.

The expressions of the other martial warriors changed drastically.

Someone died the moment they arrived. The guy didn’t even have the time to give up.

They were struck dumb with terror, finally understanding how scary Zone 1 was.

The bloody and terrifying reputation of the League of Talents wasn’t just empty talk.

Wang Teng turned grim. He didn’t dare to let down his guard.

After the first round of fright subsided, some warriors regained their composure and dove into the sea with firm gazes.

Those talented fighters weren’t just powerful. They had a strong mentality and willpower, so they wouldn’t be easily shaken.

Wang Teng peeled his attention away from the dead warrior and immediately felt the huge pressure around him. He raised his eyebrows. “The gravity is strong!”

The Battle Planet had a gravity at least a thousand times what a normal planet had. Fortunately, he cultivated the Ancient God’s Body; the pressure wasn’t affecting him much.

The other martial warriors had grave countenances. They too felt the pressure.

Not every martial warrior had a strong physique.

Wang Teng blinked and looked up at the sky. Strachey and Landon quickly plummeted down. They had yet to give up.

He smiled and leaped into the sea.

Thanks to his Deep Sea Breathing, he was easily able to travel underwater without using any Force.

For some unknown reason, the sea was pitch-black. No light from above was able to pass through, while the seawater felt cold.

The deeper he went, the lower the temperature. It was enough to freeze a martial warrior’s body.

The pressure around him also got stronger. The gravity on the Battle Planet was originally high, becoming even more frightening as he went deeper into the sea.

The pressure build up of the two forces greatly hampered the candidate’s movements.

Such a hindrance was lethal to those with celestial stage cultivation. No wonder it was marked as Zone 1.

Swoosh!

A black shadow darted out from Wang Teng’s left side in a flash, and pounced on him.

Wang Teng felt a pungent odor hitting his nose hard, even though he was under water. It was disgusting.

His expression remained indifferent as a golden glow appeared in his eyes. He saw the black shadow’s appearance clearly.

It was a hideous and strange, black colored fish. Jagged and sharp teeth filled up its mouth, while its back was full of spikes. The aura it gave off proved it was a low-tier imperial star beast.

Wang Teng was lucky to have that knotty creature as his first kill.

He smiled and raised a hand. The water started circling violently around the black fish. It was unable to escape the attack.

Soon, the black creature was chopped into pieces by the water tornado. An overly powerful scent was spread.

The young hero managed to kill a low-tier imperial beast at the sixth level without using any battle techniques. All he did was control the water Force around him.

At the same time, his name appeared on the giant stone plate above Zone 1—

Candidate: Wang Teng

Points: 60

Ranking: 1765891

He had just killed a low-tier imperial beast, so his rank was merely the 1,765,891th. He remained humble amid all the candidates.

The stone plate was already densely populated by candidates’ names. The audience had a hard time finding Wang Teng’s name sandwiched among the others.
