Zone 1.

Wang Teng moved along the sea trench and killed the surrounding star beasts.

The place was a good hunting spot. A constant stream of star beasts would appear.

Swoosh!

A mid-tier imperial beast lunged from the side, but was slain by his sword. Fresh blood spread around the dark seawater.

Wang Teng stored the body.

It was a huge lobster star beast. It looked delicious and filling.

The young hero looked around after picking up the dropped attribute bubbles, realizing that no more creatures were approaching.

After so many killings, the star beasts learned their lesson; they wouldn’t foolishly go to check why there was a strong smell of blood.

Only the ones new to the area would do it.

However, it took a while for creatures to repopulate the sea trench, and there wasn’t a specific timeframe for that.

To Wang Teng, time was everything at the moment.

He looked at his ranking again. He was still in tenth place, about twenty thousand points away from the next rank.

He shook his head and finally reached the edge of the sea trench. He decided to go deeper.

Just then, a few figures appeared in the distance, moving closer at a fast speed. They landed by the edge of the sea trench, about a kilometer away from our MC.

Both sides looked at each other from afar. Someone recognized Wang Teng; a glint of light flashed in the fellow’s eyes.

The newcomers were talents from the Jin family. One of them was in the eight position—Jin Tiankuang. He was the Jins’ most outstanding talent in his generation.

A faint voice was heard.

“Wang Teng!”

“Hmm?” Wang Teng’s eyes flashed as he pinpointed the speaker. It was the genius from the Jin family.

“Leave this place. This place belongs to the Jin family now.” The corner of his mouth rose as he spoke in a condescending manner.

The audience was somewhat delighted to see this situation unfold for some reason.

“It’s over, it’s over. Jin Tiankuang’s over!”

“Jin Tiankuang’s a little narrow-minded.”

“Can’t be helped. The ones contending aren’t able to see the broadcast. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting this rashly.”

“Jin Tiankuang has always been wild. Many warriors in Zone 1 have suffered because of him, but now he’s gonna get it!”

“I don’t think Wang Teng can catch up with the Crown Prince, but overtaking Jin Tiankuang is a piece of cake.”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. My Jin Tiankuang fears nothing.”

“Jin Tiankuang isn’t weak. Wang Teng might not be able to deal with him.”

“It’s hard to say who’s the one who’ll suffer.”

“Fight, fight, fight.”

…

On the Jin family’s spacecraft—the universe warrior Jin Xiangming was frowning.

Jin Tiankuang and the others won’t suffer if they run into Wang Teng, right? The brat is too shameless, not easy to deal with at all.

In Zone 1’s deep sea—

Wang Teng looked around after hearing Jin Tiankuang’s words, and said in surprise, “Is your name written here?”

“Know your place, or I will kick you out,” Jin Tiankuang said in a cold voice.

Wang Teng smiled faintly and raised an eyebrow. Why are the dukedoms talents all the same? Only a few of them are normal, the rest are just like the Parkers.

He didn’t mind tormenting another person.

As for the dukedom family, he didn’t fear them.

Having the military as backer, even if the dukedoms wanted to take a shot at him, they would have to weigh the costs to pay and see if it was worth it.

Besides, once the League of Talents ended, he could enter the Seven Stellar Academies. He wouldn’t fear the dukedoms by then.

“What are you laughing at?” Jin Tiankuang frowned, feeling uncomfortable.

“You’re out of your mind. You want to kick me out? Why don’t you look at yourself and see if you have the ability.” Wang Teng looked at him with amusement.

“You have a death wish!” Jin Tiankuang laughed back in anger. “In that case, you can tag along if you have the guts.”

Without waiting for Wang Teng’s response, the noble took his family talents and entered the sea trench.

Just as they were going in, they glanced at the young upstart with the hint of sneer in their eyes.

At that point, they seemed to think that he wouldn’t dare enter the trench.

There weren’t many who would end well after offending Jin Tiankuang and the Jin family.

Many talents had talked back and were kicked out of the elimination battle.

Sometimes it wasn’t good to have a sharp tongue.

You needed to see who you were talking to, even when trying to uphold your dignity.

If you ever ran into someone who couldn’t be messed with, it would be for the best to bow and protect the little bit of dignity you had left.

Wang Teng shook his head and ignored their words. He had to do what he had to do. His plan was to enter the sea trench even before their arrival, so he was going to do so without hesitation.

He didn’t choose a different entry point; he just followed the Jin talents.

Since he was going to make use of them, losing them was a no-no.

The sea trench was surprisingly deep, with strong currents and high pressure. The coldness was trying to seep into everyone’s bodies. Ordinary fighters wouldn’t dare enter such a place.

The Jins continued their descent, their expressions becoming graver by the second.

“Brother Tiankaung, the coldness here is too great,” said a woman from the group.

“It’s colder here than outside. There should be something special about this sea trench.” added one of the talents.

“Brace yourselves. Be careful,” Jin Tiankuang said in a low voice.

“Yes!” Everyone hurriedly became alert.

“Is that Wang Teng fellow behind us?” Jin Tiankuang asked.
