1553 The World Isnât Just Black or White! (2)
Lin Chuhan started complaining about a certain someone. Why is he making me worry whenever heâs competing?
â¦
Wang Teng held onto Valmont and landed in the arena. A team of military warriors immediately made an appearance and took Valmont away.
The latter seemed to be a goner, but he was merely wounded. He was still alive; Wang Teng left him with a little breath left.
The young hero knew that the matter would not end there, but the competition had to continue; he couldnât be concerned about it for the time being.
He returned to the zone platform and sat down; then, he stretched his back and attracted the troubled gazes of the Second Prince and the rest.
Ji Haochen sized Wang Teng up. Noticing that the latter had no injuries, he said, âYou are a maniac.â
Strachey and Landon looked at their nemesis with conflicted expressions.
They had to admit that the fellow was more capable than them in some aspects.
They couldnât have done the same if they experienced the same situation.
âHow is it that Iâm a maniac?â Wang Teng felt at a loss.
âThat was someone reinforced with the power of darkness, and still you dealt with him so easily. Isnât that maniacal enough?â Ji Haochen said.
Wang Teng replied, âItâs not that exaggerated. Valmont isnât as powerful as you think; you could have dealt with him just as easily.â
Timothy interjected. âDo you think weâre blind? We could tell how powerful he was.â
Wang Teng saw he had been mercilessly exposed, so he cleared his throat and said, âCough. Iâm just trying to comfort you guys.â
âWe can only thank you for that.â Ji Haochen didnât know what else to say.
This is how people are comforted? Heâs just being fake!
Valmont isnât powerful? Thatâs just a roundabout way to brag about his own strength.
Pretentious!
âWang Teng, are you sure heâs a mixed blood?â the Second Prince asked with a gruff voice.
Wang Teng wasnât in a hurry to answer. He countered with another question, âYour highness knows about their existence?â
âPeople like us have more or less heard about it,â Ji Haochen offered.
Wang Teng nodded and pondered. Looks like the people from the upper class families know more than I thought about these subjects.
Wang Teng nodded and conceded. âValmont is indeed a mixed blood!â
âMixed bloods only have half of the Darklandâs bloodline, the other half is still of the light factionâs. Arenât the two factions enemies?â Wang Teng thought about Little Zi Ye and the others he had met before.
The Second Prince glanced at the young hero. âItâs not that simple.â
The earthlingâs gaze flickered. Based on the princeâs words, he could tell how the light factionâs upper echelons thought about mixed bloods.
âAfter all, half their blood comes from the dark apparitions. Some have leaned towards the light faction, wishing to return, but there are still some that serve the dark,â relayed the Second Prince, via voice transmission.
âSo, if thereâs an opening, it would present an opportunity the apparitions could make use of,â Wang Teng responded, âAn easier opportunity to enter our world!â
âThatâs right. Looks like you have the general idea.â The amiable prince nodded. âWe once speculated the mixed population is large. If all of them returned, our world would be riddled with holes; there would no longer be any obstacles for the dark apparitions to attack.â
Wang Teng sighed. He understood this.
He just pitied those people. Were they really condemned to live in darkness forever, never seeing the light again?
The Second Prince said, âMixed bloods appear boldly in the League of Talents⦠This is a blatant provocation to both the Great Qian Empire and the Seven Stellar Academies. Iâm afraid itâll cause a great disturbance.â
Wang Teng added a short, yet meaningful phrase, âThe world isnât just black or white.â
The former glanced at the hero with surprise, not expecting such a statement.
However, he could only swallow the words he planned to respond when he saw that the earthling had closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to continue speaking.
Still, the words lingered in his heart for a long time, unable to guess the true meaning behind them.
The hero used the opportunity to immediately focus on his attributes board.
He had collected a lot of dark attribute bubbles in the previous battle.
However, most of them were of constellation dark Force and the Dark Ultima, which werenât that useful for him.
The former was already at the perfected ninth level, while his Dark Ultima was at the limit attainable.
Only the Black Mist Domain was interesting!
However, he wasnât planning on using it separately; he would integrate it with his Dark Domain.
The new domain possessed strong illusory and concealing qualities. It was considered a great ability.
Integrating the two domains would provide an additional means of attack, making his Dark Domain even more powerful.
After some thought, he went ahead and merged the two domains, taking advantage that the bubbles had yet to disappear.
The enlightenment obtained from the attribute bubbles was the deepest and most profound anyone could ever have.
