Chapter 2318: Don’t Be Cowardly, Come and Kill Me! (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

“We won!” Guizang Yan and the others couldn’t help but rejoice.

However, before they could continue celebrating, the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan suddenly widened his bloodshot eyes and cast a hateful glance at Wang Teng’s main body and clone.

While still in the midst of retreating, his gaze abruptly shifted to the side.

Then, in mid-air, his body unexpectedly twisted around, using the recoil force to dash towards one side.

“Oh no!”

Guizang Yan’s expression changed, pulling Guizang Zhu and others to retreat.

“Get over here!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan, disheveled and resembling a vengeful ghost, erupted with a powerful momentum, pressuring Guizang Yan and the others.

The members of the Guizang family were momentarily frozen, their faces turning pale.

But Guizang Yan, as the pride of the Guizang family, quickly reacted. He hardened his expression, brandishing his battle blade and slashing towards the youth.

“Scram!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan shouted coldly, delivering a powerful palm strike that sent Guizang Yan, along with his blade, flying.

Afterward, he directly grabbed Guizang Zhu, and amidst her screams, rushed towards a nearby cave.

“Damn it!” Wang Teng and the clone only reacted at this moment, cursing themselves for being careless.

The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan, who had been threatening to kill everyone present, turned out to be bluffing. Now, finding himself at a disadvantage, he chose to flee outright.

How shameless!

Wang Teng’s clone immediately utilized Space Flash and pursued ahead, shouting.

“Hey, why are you running? Weren’t you planning to kill me? Don’t be a coward, come and finish me off!”

The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan’s face darkened, filled with hatred, but he didn’t slow down. Instead, he accelerated abruptly, swiftly entering one of the caves, and disappeared from view.

“Coward! Don’t run! Come and kill me!” Wang Teng’s clone continued to taunt from behind, chasing through cave after cave and challenging the youth with words.

“When I get those five eternal-stage viscera, it will be your death sentence!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.

He swiftly distanced himself, constantly changing direction within the cave system.

The deeper they went, the more numerous the tunnels became. Wang Teng couldn’t discern which cave the youth had entered. If he took a wrong turn at any fork, he would completely lose track of his opponent.

Bang!

Wang Teng’s clone punched a nearby rock wall in frustration, wearing an extremely unpleasant expression.

At this moment, Wang Teng’s main body arrived with Guizang Yan and the others.

“Wang Teng!”

Upon seeing him, Guizang Yan anxiously inquired, “What happened? Did you catch up?”

“Lost him!” The clone glanced at him expressionlessly and replied calmly.

“How could this happen?” Guizang Yan’s face, already bruised and swollen, now looked even more distorted. “My sister… My sister has been kidnapped!”

“Don’t panic!” Wang Teng’s main body furrowed his brow and spoke, trying to calm the situation.

“My sister has been kidnapped. How can I not panic? That guy from the Heishan Royal Clan won’t spare her.” Guizang Yan, with a battered face, shook off the person trying to support him and spoke urgently.

Wang Teng was somewhat surprised. Despite everything, this guy seemed genuinely concerned about his sister.

“Han Zhu, you promised to protect us. Save my sister, please.” Guizang Yan pleaded with Wang Teng, desperation evident in his eyes.

For him, revealing such an expression of submission to Wang Teng was already a complete surrender.

“Don’t worry, since I promised you, I won’t leave anything unattended.” Wang Teng also harbored a suppressed anger, speaking coldly.

“Count me in!” The clone at the side also chimed in.

“Let’s join forces.” Wang Teng suggested.

“Agreed!” The clone nodded.

“As long as you can save my sister, I, Guizang Yan, will be forever grateful.” Guizang Yan immediately expressed his gratitude.

Round Ball:…

This naive kid was deceived entirely!

Without further hesitation, Wang Teng and his clone dispersed and started searching through the various caves.

Guizang Yan and the others also didn’t stay idle, all joining the search team, hoping to find Guizang Zhu as quickly as possible.

Wang Teng raced through a particular cave, still using the method on the scroll to let the origin beast core guide him, heading straight for the deepest part of the Fire Element Mountain.

As he sprinted, he reviewed the gains from earlier.

When he went to pursue the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan, his clone in the rear had collected all the attribute bubbles.

The strength of that young man from the Heishan Royal Clan was quite formidable, stronger than the previous young man with the black curved horns. Wang Teng was curious about the attribute bubbles dropped by him.

Cosmos Realm Spirit*36oo

Metal Constellation Force*98oo

Heishan Emperor Physique (fifth level)*i500

Metal Domain (eighth-rank)*iooo

Golden Peak Rain Spear*46oo

Divine Level Spear Talent* 5000

One by one, the attribute bubbles merged into Wang Teng’s body, causing his eyes to light up.

This young man from the Heishan Royal Clan had some good stuff!

3,600 points of cosmos realm Spirit instantly boosting Wang Teng’s Spirit attribute significantly.

Spirit: 251100/300000 (cosmos realm)

Surprisingly, there were no Enlightenment attributes this time. It seemed that these prodigies could no longer provide Wang Teng with Enlightenment.

At least, not in the short term.

Next was the constellation Metal Force. 9,800 points was a considerable amount.

However, Wang Teng’s five elemental Forces had already reached the perfected stage. Hence, this constellation Metal Force couldn’t help him break through but only make his Force more dense.

After the third attribute bubble merged into Wang Teng’s body, his whole body shook, and a strange power instantly swept through, causing some kind of transformation in his physique.

Heishan Emperor Physique!

Fifth-rank!

“It’s a fifth-rank Heishan Emperor Physique!” Wang Teng’s eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

The previous young man with the black curved horns only had first-rank Heishan Emperor Physique, and this young man from the Heishan Emperor Physique turned out to be at the fifth rank. The difference between the two was quite significant!

“Huh?”

As the transformation of his body was completed, a hint of enlightenment flashed through Wang Teng’s mind. He paused for a moment, and then couldn’t help but be shocked.

The Heishan Emperor Physique could seize other people’s talents and make them their own!

When he obtained the first-rank Heishan Emperor Physique earlier, he didn’t receive any related talent descriptions. He only knew that the Heishan Emperor Physique could enhance the power of the physique, far beyond the reach of ordinary warriors.

But now, after reaching the fifth-rank Heishan Emperor Physique, he realized that this body could seize the talents of others after reaching the third rank! This talent was truly incredible!

At this moment, he finally understood why the descriptions of the Heishan Royal Clan were always different!

After seizing the talents of others, their appearance would undergo some changes, closely resembling the race whose talent they had taken.

No wonder the appearance of the black-horned youth and this young man from the Heishan Royal Clan were different.

Wang Teng almost thought that the black-horned youth was a mutant!

Now it seemed that wasn’t the case. The black-horned youth had seized the talents of another race, which caused him to grow a pair of horns.

As for how the other party seized talents before awakening the Heishan Emperor Physique?

It wasn’t difficult to explain.

There was another method of seizing talents within the Heishan Royal Clan, which involved the strong members of the Heishan Royal Clan conducting the seizure and then transferring it into the body of a young member.

However, the talents obtained through this method are certainly not as suitable for the individual as those seized personally. They come with significant flaws, making future improvements difficult and having a certain upper limit.

This upper limit was lower than the talents seized personally.

Therefore, within the Heishan Royal Clan, only those with less favorable talents and lower status were subjected to this method of talent infusion.

It was like forcefully imparting talents, akin to trying to speed up the growth of young shoots, with a sense of futility.

The black-horned youth was one such unfortunate soul subjected to this method, explaining why he only awakened to the first-rank Heishan Emperor Physique after a long time, making him incomparable to the young man from the Heishan Royal Clan.

“Oh, I see. So, that’s his purpose!” A flash of insight crossed Wang Teng’s mind, and he was somewhat astonished. “He came for the Five-Element Divine Physique!”

“This guy sure has a big appetite!”
