Collecting attribute bubbles is arduous work!

Thrice he collected from Huang Xinghua; only then did he manage to raise the Huang Heaven Blade to the well-versed stage.

That was the first time he was met with such a situation. Just the well-versed stage alone had required an astounding amount of points.

However, everything comes to those who wait.

Thank you, Huang Xinghua, you’re a kind man.

I promise I’ll promote the skill so more people know about it, Wang Teng told himself.

He also heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the thirty-thousand attribute points needed to break through to the next level.

At least it wasn’t a hundred thousand points!

Wang Teng was afraid that he would need to practice the skill day and night if such an amount was the breakthrough quota.

Aside from the Huang Heaven Blade, the sole attribute worth his attention was the Water Domain.

The 1,500 attribute points of said attribute turned into enlightenment, increasing his understanding of his Netherworld Domain.

Netherworld Domain: 2100/4000 (fourth-rank)

Although still at the fourth rank, the domain’s overall power grew stronger.

The young hero initiated the fusion of the Water Lunar Domain into the Netherworld Domain; there was at the moment an additional illusion move on top of the existing attacks within the domain.

That was another reason why the domain became stronger, even though it was stuck at the same rank.

No one would expect that he would fuse that many traits into one domain.

Ji Haochen calmly returned to his seat, as if simply having ended an ordinary match.

“Brother Ji, what do you feel about the blade attack?” Wang Teng asked with shining eyes.

The Second Prince and some of the others were attracted by the question and looked over.

“Come on, don’t call me Brother Ji.” Ji Haochen glared at Wang Teng. Then, he contemplated for a moment and answered, “I think the blade can be stronger.

“If Huang Xinghua manages to reach the perfected tenth-level of his ultima, I won’t be able to block him that easily.”

“Really?” The listeners were shocked. “A perfected ultima can go head to head with your domain?”

“Yes. It would be enough to break my first-rank domain,” Ji Haochen said.

“A first-rank domain?” Timothy touched his chin. “That’s surprising. An attack without domain power can actually destroy a domain. The technique is certainly powerful.”

“Must be hard to practice. Considering Huang Xinghua’s talent, he should have been able to grasp a higher level of a different skill. It probably is time consuming to master,” Ji Haochen said.

“Powerful battle techniques have pros and cons; the stronger they are, the harder it is to grasp them.” The Second Prince nodded in agreement.

Our hero felt restless, raring to test the power of the skiill.

He was soon given the chance to act.

The light sphere displayed:

Wang Teng vs the Third Prince!

“Huh?” The former was surprised by the opponent he would face. He glanced at the fellow, who was seated nearby.

Simultaneously, the Third Prince turned and looked at him.

Their gazes collided; sparks flew in midair.

The Second Prince and the others were astounded. Their gazes shifted back and forth between the two contenders.

Strachey gloated over the situation, giving his enemy a mocking gaze.

Wang Teng versus the Third Prince? This will be a great show.

The Second Prince frowned and sighed in his heart. Why did they have to meet? What a headache.

Ji Haochen, Timothy, and the others were in deep thought. Their families had a good relationship with the young hero; they thought of him as worth befriending after interacting with him. Hence, they grew concerned by the match’s pairing.

The fact was, the fellow was none other than the Third Prince. The young hero would have a difficult time answering to the imperial family if he was too brutal.

And yet, their relationship had already gone sour; the prince would probably give the earthling a hard time, even if the latter was merciful.

What a dilemma.

However, considering the hero’s fearless personality, he wouldn’t grant any mercy, regardless of the identity of his opponent.

In their eyes, Wang Teng was undoubtedly stronger.

The two fighters rose from their seats, amid everyone’s gazes.

“Third Prince, please.” Wang Teng raised his hand and invited the other to move first.

“Hmph!” The noble snorted and soared into the sky.

The young hero tapped the ground and followed, leaving a trail of shadows behind.

They floated in the air, looking at each other.

“It’s Wang Teng and the Third Prince!”

“This is unexpected. Both are powerful, but one will have to end their journey here.”

“I remember that the prince used a domain during the elimination round. Wang Teng has met with a formidable opponent.”

“Domain? Wang Teng has it too.”

“I wonder whose domain is stronger.”

“I’m getting excited. I want to see domains clashing.”

“This far into the game, it’s time for the talented warriors to use domains.”

“The ones remaining either have ultimas or domains. I’m a celestial warrior, but I have nothing.”

“That’s why they’re called talents.”

…

Discussions erupted among the audience when they saw the two participants enter the arena.

In the sky right above it—

The Third Prince remained arrogant. He stared at Wang Teng with the same conceited look, while saying with indifference, “Wang Teng, I’ve given you many chances.”
