The baron from the Great Qian Empire felt unhappy, very unhappy.
The spiritual labyrinth was his way of testing this bunch of talents and weakening their spiritual power. Anyone who wanted to reach the end of the labyrinth would have to exhaust a large amount of their spiritual power. This was his real aim.
Yet, Wang Teng destroyed the labyrinth and took the shortcut.
He was cheating!
However, he also realized that Wang Teng best matched his requirements. His spiritual power was powerful enough, and he hadnt reached his 20th birthday. He was still very young.
He seemed to be the perfect candidate sent from heaven.
Squinting slightly, he muttered to himself, I mustnt let him reach here easily. Lets give him more trouble!
The labyrinth started changing silently.
The stone walls on the original dead ends moved. They turned into opened paths while the opened paths became dead ends.
Some unconnected roads got linked up.
Based on the figures arrangement, Argus, Kathu, Loggins, and many other peoples path overlapped with the paths Wang Teng had to pass.
That meant that they would definitely meet!
Wang Teng didnt know what was happening. He was still immersed in his attributes picking work. He destroyed the labyrinth wherever he went and turned everything into ruins.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
This labyrinth wasnt soundproof. When he destroyed the stone walls, the noise echoed in the air and landed in the ears of the people who were getting closer to him.
What is going on?
Whos bombing the labyrinth?
Idiot, this labyrinth cant be destroyed using brute force.
Everyone was appalled. They turned in the direction of the sound as they guessed which idiot was smashing the labyrinth.
After pausing for a second, they continued dashing towards the center of the labyrinth.
The voice sounded close. This meant that the other martial warrior was just nearby. They didnt dare to waste any time in case someone beat them to the draw.
Only one person didnt move. This person felt that the explosion was extremely close. It was just a wall away.
He stopped in his tracks and turned around, staring intently at the stone wall behind him.
Boom!
The next instant, the loud bang was heard again. It couldnt be any nearer.
The stone wall collapsed violently, and a figure strolled out amid the dust.
Hey, it seems like I cant avoid my enemy. A cynical voice rang in the air.
Wang Teng! Loggins squinted. He said each word with great emphasis.
He recognized the voice. At the same time, he was astounded that this fellow was able to destroy the walls of this labyrinth. He couldnt maintain his composure.
Dont be nervous. Im not going to eat you. The dust dispersed, and Wang Tengs figure appeared before him. There was a faint smile on his face.
Dont put on an act. Since we met, we should have a duel, Loggins said with a cold expression.
Youre straightforward! Wang Teng nodded. He hooked his fingers and continued, Come, I have an advantage in this place, so you can make three moves first.
Youre tempting fate! Loggins felt humiliated. Anger burned in his heart as he stomped his feet on the ground.
Boom!
He dashed towards Wang Teng, leaving a trail of shadows behind. There were no weapons here, so they could only attack in the most basic manner.
He released his fist ferociously and hurled it at Wang Tengs head.
Wang Teng seemed relaxed. Tilting his head, he evaded the attack and counted calmly, One.
Loggins was fuming. He turned his body and swept his leg at Wang Tengs head. No one could use their Force attacks in this spiritual labyrinth, but they knew the basic fighting skills. As a talented martial warrior, Loggins was skilled in this area too.
His attack was violent and fast.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Wang Teng, whose basic combat skills were all at the peak level. He could evade Logginss attack without any effort.
Two! Wang Teng counted again.
Bastard! Logginss face turned as black as an ink bottle. He wanted to catch Wang Teng off guard, so he flung his head towards Wang Tengs head when he attacked.
Wang Teng moved his body and disappeared on the spot.
Logginss attack failed again.
Three! Wang Teng suddenly appeared behind Loggins and said calmly, You have a hard head.
Logginss expression changed, and he panicked. He took a step forward without much thought and spurted out.
A gust of strong wind followed him, striking him at the speed of lightning.
Bang!
A dull thud was heard. Loggins felt a sharp pain on the back of his head, sending him into a daze. He stumbled and almost fell flat on the ground.
What was that?
Why was it so hard?
Numerous questions popped into his mind. He could tell distinctively that it wasnt a fist. It felt like a huge metal brick.
Before he could think further, another gust of wind struck him.
Bang!
Loggins didnt have any time to react. The object smashed the back of his head again.
Boom!
This time, he couldnt withstand it and collapsed to the ground.
Dont you have a tough head? Why are you collapsing after just two blows? Wang Tengs calm voice entered his ears.
Loggins turned hurriedly and saw a golden brick in Wang Tengs hand. He was shocked. You...
What about me? Wang Teng played with the brick in his hand with a smile. Are you surprised? Hows the hardness of my brick? Is it harder than your head?
Why do you have a weapon? Loggins asked in disbelief.
Oh, I took one from the wall. Wang Teng came up with a random excuse.
Silence.
From the wall?!
Do you think Im stupid?
Loggins almost went mad. His expression turned ugly, and he said, Youre cheating. You wont be able to prove that youre stronger than me even if you win!
Idiot, who cares? Wang Teng rolled his eyes, deciding not to waste any more time. He raised the brick and brought it down on Logginss head.
Logginss pupils constricted. He kept retreating to dodge the brick, but it was all in vain.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The emotionless brick landed on Logginss head several times.
Damn it!
Where did he get the courage from?
Loggins was infuriated, but this emotion was soon overpowered by the pain in his head. He started screaming uncontrollably.
Ah!
Bang, bang, bang...
Stop! Stop!
Bang, bang, bang...
Bastard, you shouldnt hit a persons face!
Bang, bang, bang...
Stop hitting!
Bang, bang, bang...
Ah, Wang Teng, I hate you...
Bang, bang, bang...
After some time, Logginss voice died down. He wasnt able to scream anymore.
Im getting out of practice since I havent been using this brick lately. Not bad, I can practice it on you, Wang Teng said slowly. He finally stopped and let out a long sigh.
Loggins hadnt fainted yet. He felt like vomiting blood out of frustration. This brat was using him as practice.
Wang Teng stared at Logginss badly bruised face and touched his chin. He said guiltily, Look, why do you have to use your head when fighting with me? You got me excited. I wanted to know which one is harder, the brick or your head. You cant blame me. Its your fault.
Pfft! Loggins spat out a mouth of blood as boiled in anger.
F**k, you beat me up badly only to tell me that its my fault?
This devil!
Loggins detested Wang Teng, but at the same time, fear crept into his heart involuntarily. He finally understood that the bastard in front of him never went by the book! Any reason was a valid reason for him to attack.
He felt regret!
Why did he provoke this fellow in the past!
Why did he have to step out first? No one else did!
He also regretted using his head!
His head wouldnt have been beaten up so badly otherwise!
Tears of regret flowed down Logginss face.
The top talent from the Uros Galaxy cried after getting beaten up by Wang Teng. No one might believe this news if they heard it.
Hey, why are you crying so easily? Youre acting like a lady. Wang Teng felt speechless when he saw the tear at the edge of Logginss eye.
Loggins couldnt speak, but his hearts exasperation flowed endlessly like the water in a river. He couldnt beat him in a fight or contest of words, so he decided to close his eyes and pretend to be dead.
Alright, I shall send you out. Wang Teng shook his head and raised his feet. Before Loggins could react, he had already smashed his head.
Logginss spirit dissipated gradually.
As a universe talent, his head was crushed by Wang Tengs single step.
In the final moments, Loggins felt extremely humiliated.
Killing the spirit might not kill the person directly, but it would still cause great damage to the physical body.
Loggins main body would be unconscious after suffering such a heavy blow. He wouldnt be able to wake up anytime soon.
At the same time, he had failed the assessment.
Wang Teng remained indifferent. He continued moving forward.
The baron at the center of the labyrinth was astounded. He killed one of them. As expected of the person I chose. Its rare that such a talent got born on Earth.
Then, he sighed. If he had appeared earlier, I wouldnt have been stuck here for a million years!
Fortunately, heaven treats me well. They gave me hope when Im almost at the end of my life. This is the silver lining.
However, this fellow is a little strange. What an odd way to kill his talented opponent. I have never seen anyone like him in the universe for as long as Ive lived.
The figure shook his head. He was caught between laughter and tears. Rocking his chair, he looked at the screen lightheartedly.
This fellow isnt easy to deal with. My current state is too weak. Alright, lets release the souls of the star beasts. Let it be a waste if it must be.
The figure waved his hand and numerous star beast souls appeared in the labyrinth. They darted in Wang Tengs direction.
