He didn’t know that his action would ignite the flames of jealousy in the spectators’ hearts.

“???”

“Did he just take that gigantic Oceanic Unicorn Whale?”

“Oh my god, I think he’s secretly wealthy.”

“How big must his spatial storage be to fit that giant whale?”

“I’m jealous. Wang Teng is definitely a wealthy young man.”

“Strong, handsome, and wealthy. Is he the legendary tall, rich, and handsome man?”

“Hahaha, tall, rich, and handsome? You’re a genius.”

“Hello everyone, does anyone know Wang Teng’s contact number? If you do, please tell me. I’ll thank you personally when I become Wang Teng’s partner.”

“…Shameless!”

“Hello, I’m Wang Teng and I’m looking for a girlfriend. Anyone can apply but to show your sincerity… I hope that all ladies will give me three trillion UC. Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not in need of money. I just want to test how sincere you are.”

“Oh my god. I bow to you.”

“I bow to you.”

“I bow to you.”

…

Back in the participants’ area—the Third Prince squinted when he saw the young hero stash the large monster corpse. No one knew what he was thinking.

Wang Teng released his spiritual power to probe his surroundings and dashed in a certain direction.

He was some distance away from the sea trench, so there was no need to go back.

There were numerous star beasts everywhere, so it didn’t matter where he went.

It would be great if he could meet a few more mid-tier imperial sea beasts like the Hellish Sea Tiger Sharks; the difficulty level was just right and their points weren’t low.

Another half a day went by. Wang Teng killed many monsters and his points increased by more than ten thousand, ever closer to the crown prince.

Only one day was left.

Everyone was holding their breaths. Is Wang Teng going to surpass the crown prince?

Suddenly, there was a round of shocks.

“Look at the crown prince’s points!”

“What? What happened?”

“Oh my god, the crown prince’s points increased by more than 30,000 points!”

“What? Wang Teng earned 10,000 points and the crown prince earned 30,000 points. The difference got wider instead of smaller.”

“Wang Teng has no hope!”

“30,000 points? Did the crown prince kill a high-tier imperial star beast?”

“Quick, look at the crown prince’s screen. He really killed a high-tier imperial star beast!”

…

Everyone shifted their gazes away and looked at said screen.

Somewhere at the bottom of the sea, where the seawater was constantly bubbling, a giant star beast was lying in front of the famous noble. It had just been killed.

The creature was a deep-sea squid.

“What a huge squid!”

“Is that squid at the high-tier imperial level?”

“That’s right. I saw them fight just now. Are you regretting it now? Why were you looking at Wang Teng and not the crown prince?”

“The crown prince is indeed powerful. He can kill a high-tier imperial star beast!”

“Squid: Why did you kill me? Who did I offend?”

“Pfft, what an innocent squid.”

…

Wang Teng noticed the change in the crown prince’s score with an impassive face. However, deep down, he was surprised.

This crown prince is indeed extraordinary. There were only two ways for him to gain thirty thousand points.

He either killed a high-tier imperial or a few mid-tier ones.

No matter the case, the noble was powerful. He might be only a bit weaker than him.

Their difference rose to forty thousand, more than before.

Wang Teng felt a sense of urgency, and immediately dove deeper into the sea.

“Hey, Wang Teng is heading to where the crown prince is!”

“You’re right!”

“Are they going to meet soon?”

“Are they going to have a showdown?”

“I’m so excited. I want to see some bromance between them.”

“You sound weird.”

…

Everyone finally noticed where Wang Teng was heading. It was the place where the crown prince was.

The move was coincidental.

Wang Teng moved in that direction because of the high concentration of sea beasts there. He sensed a large amount of lifeforce and energy fluctuations ahead.

Some time later, the young hero felt the temperature around him rise. Bubbles even started to appear.

Bloop…

The bubbles emerged from the seabed and popped after floating for a few seconds. A scorching heat was spread, increasing the water temperature.

“What is this?” Wang Teng frowned. He was startled.

He found it strange when he first sensed the fire Force presence in the area. It was incredible to find it in such a dense amount at the bottom of the sea.

Once he got closer, he discovered the reason.

“There’s a submarine volcano!” Wang Teng and Round Ball’s voices sounded in unplanned unison; the former mumbling to himself while the little one exclaimed in the former’s mindspace.

“There might be some special fire-element sea beasts. Be careful,” Round Ball reminded Wang Teng.

The latter nodded. He tapped his feet and bolted at the speed of light.

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion resounded in front of him. Heat waves surged over, forcing him to stop.

Boom!

A beam of searing red light was shot toward him, cutting through the seawater and turning the entire space red.

Wang Teng shifted a meter to the side and evaded the beam.

The heat rolled past him, making his clothes and hair tumble about.

He could isolate the space around him, just like being on land.

He frowned and activated his Real Eye to observe the area.

The next instant, his eyes widened in shock as he cursed, “F**k!”

He turned and ran immediately.

“???” Round Ball was stunned, then asked curiously, “What happened?”

“There’s a herd of star beasts charging towards us. I can’t even count how many there are,” Wang Teng replied grimly.

There were so many of them he didn’t dare to stop. He moved as fast as he could to avoid being surrounded.

He didn’t even want the points.

He didn’t want to die there. It wasn’t worth it.

“Did you see what they are?” Round Ball asked.

“I think they’re jellyfishes,” the young man replied.

“Jellyfish?!” Round Ball was taken aback.

The former didn’t slow down while the conversation was ongoing. He kept escaping at a fast speed.

However, a large crimson glow appeared around him all of a sudden, enveloping him from all directions. He had nowhere to escape.

Boom!

An explosion was heard behind him. Wang Teng turned and saw a figure zooming over.

Soon, he floated right in front of the young hero and revealed his face.

The Crown Prince!

It was the Crown Prince!

Wang Teng’s eyes widened when he saw the newcomer.

The noble was equally taken aback. He paused for a split second.

Wang Teng and the Crown Prince, meeting in such a peculiar situation. Countless crimson jellyfishes encircling them.

The creatures were translucent, with a red light shimmering inside their bodies, producing their outer coloring.

They extended a swarm of tentacles from their umbrella-shaped heads, which squirmed and swayed in the current. It was scary just looking at them.

“Giant Volcanic Jellyfish!” Round Ball cried out in bewilderment, “Wang Teng, they’re Giant Volcanic Jellyfishes!”

“Huh?” Wang Teng dug out the information related to that star beast.

It was an extremely troublesome monster. The species would generally live near submarine volcanoes, and they had a high reproductive capacity. They normally moved in large groups.

Each group would have a few million of them. It was advised not to mess with them under any circumstances.

Why? Because they were known to hold a grudge!

Wang Teng swallowed his saliva and asked, “Did you provoke them?”

“It was an accident,” replied the Crown Prince monotonously. However, one could sense a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Our hero glanced around and probed, “Can you talk to them and ask them to focus on you? I’m just a passerby. I’m innocent.”

The Crown Prince: …
