Chapter 1004: Crushed Using Talent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
While the members of the noble families were feeling sad for Cao Hongtu, the heads voice interrupted their thoughts.
Wang Teng, its your turn.
Everyones attention was shifted to Wang Teng. Cao Hongtus talent was at the top-tier emperor level. What about Wang Teng?
It was normal for a martial warrior from an underdeveloped planet to have a low talent. It was already a miracle for a planetary-stage martial warrior to be born there. Their talent limited their progress.
The talents of the living creatures born on the same planet were almost the same. It was hard to groom a real genius if ones talent was too low.
Race and bloodline were predestined. It sounded helpless, but it was the truth.
Emperor-Level Earth Talent*250
Emperor-Level Earth Talent*300
...
Wang Teng walked over after collecting the attribute bubbles Cao Hongtu had dropped. He stepped into the enclosed space.
Please choose your Force. A mechanical voice sounded.
Fire!
Instantly, the enclosed area was filled with a thick fire Force.
Wang Teng was puzzled. This device seemed quite convenient. It was able to fill up the entire area with ample Force in an instant. Would it be effective if he used it for cultivation?
His gaze landed on the ground and saw many tiny holes on the floor. The fire Force was flowing out of them.
I see. Wang Teng activated his Eyes of Essence and understood how the Force was produced.
These were Force gathering rune arrays. The device would activate the relevant array according to the element the martial warrior chose.
He stopped hesitating and activated his talent, absorbing the fire Force.
Swoosh!
The fire Force started gathering around Wang Teng. In the blink of an eye, a fiery-red Force whirlpool appeared in the enclosed space.
This scene was similar to when Cao Hongtu was absorbing his earth Force.
Emperor-level talent!
Looks like theyre on par.
This is strange. I didnt think a young lad from a remote planet would possess such potential.
Hmph, this is nothing strange. If he didnt have such talent, he wouldnt be selected as the barons heir.
...
Everyone discussed in low voices. They were surprised that Wang Teng had emperor-level talent.
Cao Hongtus gaze flickered. There wasnt any expression on his face, though. Their talents might be at the same level but he was already a heaven-stage martial warrior.
He understood how difficult it was if Wang Teng wanted to rely on his emperor-level talent to reach the heaven stage.
You could say that one of them was already at the finish line while the other was still at the starting point. How could Wang Teng be compared to him?
Top-tier emperor-level talent!
As expected, when the device announced Wang Tengs talent, it was emperor level. Similarly, it was a top-tier emperor-level talent.
Their level was the same, but everyone was shaking their heads. They didnt have high hopes for Wang Teng.
Not all emperor-level talents could reach the heaven stage. Wang Teng was just a planetary-stage martial warrior. The difference between them was huge.
The test had ended. There was no suspense. Everyone lost interest and wanted to leave.
Wait!
Wang Tengs voice was heard suddenly.
Huh? The head stopped in his tracks and looked at Wang Teng who was still in the enclosed space. Whats the matter?
My test hasnt ended yet. Wang Teng glanced at the impatient crowd and continued calmly, I want to test my earth Force too.
You want to test your earth Force? Everyone was stunned.
Cao Hongtu furrowed his brows, staring at Wang Teng intently.
Are you a double element martial warrior? The head was surprised.
Im a triple-element martial warrior. Wang Teng pondered for a moment and felt that two elements were too little. He decided to add one more.
Three elements!
This time, everyone was dumbstruck.
Triple-element martial warriors were not common. If Wang Teng possessed three elements and all his talents were at the emperor level, he would be quite a genius.
Cao Hongtus expression darkened. His gaze turned gloomy.
He didnt expect Wang Tengs talent to be so high. He didnt mind if his talent was at the same level, but if he possessed three elements, his potential would be much higher.
This meant that he had lost the first round!
What are your other two elements? the head asked.
Earth and metal. Wang Teng picked two talents randomly.
Good, continue testing. The head nodded.
Everyone got interested too, waiting for the test result. They wanted to see if all of his three elements had reached top-tier emperor-level.
Starting the earth and metal element test!
A mechanical voice resounded in the enclosed space. The fire Force was dispelled, and a large amount of earth and metal Force swarmed out at the same time.
Wang Teng activated both his talents simultaneously and absorbed the two Forces.
Swoosh...
A gale blew in the enclosed space. Earth Force and metal Force gushed towards Wang Teng furiously. A bizarre scene appeared around him.
The earth Force and the metal Force were divided, one on the left and one on the right. They formed two close circuits with Wang Teng in the center. None of them affected each other.
This is...
What a strong control!
Hes absorbing two different Forces but both of them remain separated. Wang Tengs talent must have reached the peak of emperor level to be able to do this.
Haha, there will be a good show to watch.
...
Everyone was stunned, their curiosity piqued. Some stared at Cao Hongtu with a smirk. Wang Tengs talent was obviously higher than his!
They thought that this would be a simple pass, but Wang Teng possessed three elements and all of them werent low. Cao Hongtu was the one who got crushed.
Cao Hongtu also knew that his talent was lower than Wang Tengs when he saw this scene. He stood there without any expressions on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.
Top-tier emperor-level earth talent!
Top-tier emperor-level metal talent! The device announced Wang Tengs talent quickly.
Both were top-tier emperor-level talents but the crowd could tell that all three of Wang Tengs talents had reached the peak of top-tier emperor level.
This was extremely rare. He could go further with his talents.
Wang Teng walked out of the device.
Your talent is not bad. The head of the chamber nodded at Wang Teng.
Thank you. Wang Teng bowed to show his gratitude. However, he was calm and composed throughout.
He only displayed three top-tier emperor-level talents. It was nothing to be proud of. He could get better talents by picking up attribute bubbles, so these three emperor-level talents would be forsaken soon.
Beating Cao Hongtu was quite easy. What was there to compare? He didnt even reveal his true power.
Youll have two days to prepare. Well gather here two days later and head to the Flaming River World. The head left after his reminder.
The other members of the chamber followed him. They didnt interact with Wang Teng at all.
Valteru from the Parkers family glanced at Wang Teng. There were no emotions on his face. Then, he turned and left.
Junior Brother, you sure gave me a surprise! Cao Hongtu exclaimed pretentiously.
Its nothing, Wang Teng replied in a composed manner.
Cao Hongtu didnt expect this reply. He was stunned.
Senior Brother Cao, I need to prepare for the next trial. Do you have anything else to say? Wang Teng waved his hand and turned to leave.
Are you sure you dont want to reconsider it? The Flaming River World is not a safe place. Not everyone who enters manages to come out, Cao Hongtu said in an eerie tone.
If youre not afraid, why would I be? Wang Teng turned and smiled at him. Then, he left without any hesitation.
Cao Hongtu stood at the same spot and stared at Wang Tengs back. His gaze turned deep, and strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Wang Teng gathered with An Lan and told him about the trial. He told him his plan.
You want me to suppress my ability and go to the Flaming River World with you? An Lan exclaimed in surprise.
Yes. Since Cao Hongtu is doing that, Ill learn from him. Wang Teng sneered.
Sure, Ill handle Cao Hongtu. Hes just at the second level of the heaven stage, so its not hard to deal with him, An Lan said confidently.
Itll be great to kill him in the Flaming River World. Wang Tengs gaze turned sharp.
An Lan was shocked by Wang Tengs decisiveness and ruthlessness. He kept quiet for a second before asking, How do you plan to find the other three cosmos-stage martial warriors?
I think Ill look through the Secondary Career Alliances mission board, Wang Teng replied helplessly.
If you dont mind, I can introduce three to you. An Lan coughed awkwardly.
Oh? Wang Teng looked at him.
As long as the money is good. An Lan rubbed his hands and sniggered.
It was quite funny for a mecha to do this action.
F**k, do you love money so much? Wang Teng laughed.
So, what do you think? An Lan didnt mind Wang Tengs teasing.
No problem. Three cosmos-stage martial warriors. Is 90 billion enough? Wang Teng was loaded and acted as such.
Enough, enough! An Lan didnt bargain. He seemed extremely satisfied with this price. His eyes were glowing.
Thank you then. Wang Teng smiled.
He had to spend this money anyway, so he didnt mind letting An Lan earn it. He had a pleasant time working with this mecha. He might be a money-lover, but he fulfilled his duties.
Ill go find them now. An Lan did some operations on his wristwatch and continued, Theyll be able to reach within half a day. My spacecraft is parked on the transit planet.
Your clansmen? Wang Teng asked in surprise. He had a guess.
Yes, my clansmen from the mecha race. An Lan nodded.
Wang Teng didnt probe further. They went back to Fan Tainings house and waited for the Flaming River World trial two days later.
