1497 The Second Prince Saw Through Everything! (2)
At this moment, the Second Prince looked at Wang Teng.
He had seen many of the short clips of the latter fighting in the five forbidden zones. The fellow was a multi-element warrior, and each element was equally powerful.
Although real, it was an absurd achievement, to progress that much at such a young age.
Every person had limited energy. A warrior would need to be extremely talented to train three different elements to reach Wang Tengâs prowess.
And yet, Wang Teng had five. Only the word âmonstrousâ could describe him.
âAnd based on that, choosing the right academy is very important. It would be a waste if a lightning-element warrior didnât enter the academy with lightning legacy. This could greatly affect his future achievements.
âOf course, the difference would be minimal to those with limited talent. The strong foundation any of the seven academies has is enough for their cultivation,â said the noble.
âWhich one should I choose?â Wang Teng started contemplating after hearing the explanation. He touched his chin.
The Second Prince was stunned for a moment. âYour situation is⦠a little special.â
Timothy and the others remembered Wang Tengâs abilities and gave him weird looks.
Itâs a tough choice!
âWang Teng, are you planning to cultivate your elements evenly?â asked the noble in a stern tone.
âIs there a problem with that?â the young hero replied.
The Second Prince continued, âIf Iâm not mistaken, your five elements are all at the same stage.â
Wang Tengâs information was deemed top secret by the military. The Second Prince wasnât privy to it, so he didnât know that the young hero had more than five Forces.
Actually, the military wasnât fully aware of Wang Tengâs abilities either. They could only record what they saw.
Wang Teng glanced at the noble and replied, âYou can say so.â
Timothy and the others were dumbfounded. They had made the same guess, but were still astounded upon hearing the fellow admit it personally.
âThen, you should know how difficult it is to raise all five elements to the celestial stage, right?â The noble gave him a knowing look.
âErmâ¦â The young hero didnât know what to say. Will I sound like Iâm boasting if I say it isnât hard?
Well, I donât think the Second Prince will believe me even if I say so.
âThis is why you should make a choice when youâre about to break through to the cosmos stage. Choose the element most beneficial to you and forget the others. Of course, if youâre confident, you can keep three of them, but thatâs the maximum; having more would be exhausting in the long run.â
Wang Teng didnât know what to say as he stared at the nobleâs confident stance.
In the end, he chose to stay quiet and contemplate.
Both the illustrious noble and the others noticed how he went into deep thought, so they didnât interrupt.
In factâ¦
âRound Ball, which academy is more suitable for me?â Wang Teng asked in his mind.
âThe seventh!â said the little helped, eyes rolling as it had foreseen the question.
âThe seventh?â Wang Teng was surprised. âBased on what I know, the Seven Stellar Academies are ranked based on their abilities.â
âYouâre right. The ranking of the academies will change, but the seventh stellar academy has been in that position for many years. Theyâve never risen any higher,â Round Ball said.
âSo you mean⦠the weakest academy is the most suitable for me?â Wang Teng asked. He was at a loss.
âDo you know why theyâre always at the bottom?â the little helper asked.
âWhy?â The hero didnât give it much thought, asking back right away.
âThatâs because this academy has many martial warriors who want to cultivate multiple elements. The result⦠you can imagine,â Round Ball answered
âNone of them matured?â Wang Teng asked.
âThere are a few who managed to grow. However, just as the Second Prince said, most of them can only cultivate three different elements at once, and their cultivation speed is much slower compared to others. Do you think the other talents would stop and wait for these martial warriors to make an appearance?â Round Ball replied.
The little helper knew what Wang Teng was thinking and added, âOne slow step, and every step is slow. By the time you reach the heaven stage, your opponent would have reached the eternal stage. How can you compete with them?
âAll the warriors who can enter any of the academies are the cream of the crop. Itâs not easy to kill someone a stage higher.â
âIs the difference that huge?â Wang Teng was shocked.
âWhaddya think?â the other replied.
âDo the Seven Stellar Academies have legacies for all Forces?â the young hero asked after pondering for a while.
âYes, but that depends on whether you can get in.â Round Ball knew it couldnât change the young manâs decision, so it didnât try to persuade him. It was caught in a web of emotions as it continued, âThere are rumors, but Iâm not sure about the details; you can wait until the end of the competition to make your decision. The academiesâ representatives will show up by then; youâll be able to ask them personally.â
Wang Teng nodded. He did feel that the seventh academy was more suitable for him, but he would find out more in the future.
The Second Prince and the others stopped chatting; they needed to rest and recover for the second round of competition.
Wang Teng then focused his attention on the attributes board. He received many benefits in the elimination round.
For starters, his wind, lightning, ice, and poison Forces had reached the perfected ninth level of the celestial stage.
That was worth celebrating. He wished he could pop open a champagne bottle.
There was the sensation of all the Forces tossing and turning inside his body. A smile crept up, formed with the corners of his lips.
Next were the ultimas. All his four corresponding ultimate moves had already attained the tenth level of the perfected stage.
It was a great accomplishment. Even the talented warriors with ultimas might not have achieved the same.
Ultimas were probably not as powerful as domains, but their stage was formidable once the perfected stage was reached.
Next were the domains!
Wang Teng received many domain attributes during the elimination round. Thus, all four corresponding element domains reached the fourth rank.
Wind Domain: 3180/4000 (fourth-rank)
Ice Domain: 3340/4000 (fourth-rank)
Poison Domain: 2150/4000 (fourth-rank)
The poison domain was originally at the third rank, and advanced to the fourth rank successfully within the past few days.
At the same time, his lightning domain had transformed completely into the Lightning Spear Domain.
Lightning Spear Domain: 1340/4000 (fourth-rank)
He also received the Golden Luminescence Sword Domain from the Third Prince, but the technique was only at the second rank; he hoped he could get more attributes from that noble.
Wang Teng thought for a moment, then glanced at the Third Prince.
The latter was recovering; he suddenly felt an evil gaze land on him. He opened his eyes abruptly, frowning as he observed his surroundings.
He didnât notice anything, but then pondered for a bit and stood up when he saw the young hero from the military.
Wang Teng raised his eyebrows. Did the Third Prince discover my intentions?
How is that possible? No one had ever noticed him collecting attributes.
The Third Prince got closer, while still pondering over some matter. He was straightforward. âWang Teng, give me the Oceanic Unicorn Whaleâs horn and Iâll owe you a favor.â
Wang Teng was stunned. He thought of many reasons, but he didnât expect the noble to make such a request. He felt at a loss. âYour highness, how are you so confident? Do you think your favors are worthy? Why do you keep offering them?â
The Third Princeâs expression froze when he heard the contemptuous answer. He felt anger boil in his heart.
