Wang Teng found a peak and sat cross-legged on it.

Dark clouds hung over him like blankets. Lightning bolts sliced through the sky and stabbed the ground below like jagged blades. Ordinary warriors would be reluctant to sit in such a high position.

However, Wang Teng had chosen the place specially as a cultivation spot; all to have a clearer understanding of the lightning domain.

He decided to use the remaining two days to cultivate.

As for the blank attributes, spirit, and enlightenment attributes, he wasn’t in a hurry to count them; he could wait until the end of the match.

…

“???”

Numerous spectators were confused by Wang Teng’s actions.

“Wang Teng has also achieved enlightenment?”

“Seriously? He’s just a clone. Why is he doing something so inappropriate?”

“His true form was enlightened in Zone 1; now his clone is following him.”

“I think I’m worse than a clone.”

“Be confident and remove the ‘I think’ part.”

“Anyway, both Wang Teng and Ling Yangxu achieved enlightenment; the small advantage he had is gone again.”

“You’re enlightened, I’m enlightened, we’re all enlightened.”

“Pfft… Let me pity Ling Yangxu for three seconds.”

“Pity him for five seconds.”

“Pity him for a minute.”

“Pity him for three minutes.”

…

“Enough! He’s pathetic enough as he is.”

…

On the Great Qian Academy’s spacecraft—Bao Dewen and the others were silent.

The happiness gained from Ling Yangxu’s enlightenment disappeared for some reason.

Once the battle in Zone 2 ended, the attention in that zone fizzled away; the audience shifted their gazes away. Many felt lost. Discussions were still ongoing.

The topic about the Great Lightning Monster was still open. They wondered what the Seven Stellar Academies would do with it.

Raise it?

Or cut it up for experiments?

No one knew, making their curiosity soar to the roof.

But, the matter was related to the great academies; the audience would not dare to probe deeper. They could only discuss this in secret.

Then, the people looked towards Zone 1 again. Time was tight. The competition in Zone 1 had reached a climactic point.

That was the place where the Crown Prince and the new rival Wang Teng were.

Before the match, no one felt that the latter could compete with the other talents in that zone.

However, his clones ranked no.1 in the other four zones. Following his outstanding performance in Zone 2, most of the people regarded him in a different light.

Someone raised the question, “Do you think Wang Teng is the Crown Prince’s match?”

The chat platform became instantly silent when the question was posed.

None of them thought that the earthling was a worthy rival for the high noble. However, their confidence wavered at the moment.

Could a martial warrior who defeated a high-tier imperial star beast compete with the Crown Prince?

Don’t forget it was just a clone. In that case… how powerful was his true form?

No one knew.

Wang Teng’s ranking had now reached the tenth position in Zone 1. The star beasts dwelling at the bottom of the sea were more powerful, helping him gain more points and climb the ranks faster.

Of course, the path became harder once he reached no. 10, since the point difference between ranks was massive.

The difference between no. 10 and no. 1 was more than 180,000 points.

Such an appalling difference was only seen in Zone 1.

It was unimaginable to have similar results in the other zones.

“The difference is huge, and there’s only two days left. Wang Teng might not be able to catch up.”

“180,000 points means at least 3.5 high-tier imperial star beasts like the Great Lightning Monster.”

“3.5? Where can you find a 0.5 monster?”

“It’s just a figure of speech. I’m just making quick calculations.”

“That’s wrong. The Seven Stellar Academies added fifty thousand points because the Great Lightning Monster was special. If we consider normal star beasts, you would have to kill at least one from the fifth high-tier imperial level to get fifty thousand points. It’s too difficult.”

“Gasp… a fifth-level imperial star beast? I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it.”

“Most importantly, where can you find 3.5… I mean four of those high-tier creatures? That’s impossible.”

“Sigh, looks like he has no chance.”

“What a pity. If he could gather all his clones in Zone 1, he would get into the top 3.”
