1387 He Must Be Pretending to Be a Pig! (2)
Learn with a single glance?
He’s not just a genius. He’s a monster.
Also, what do you mean by not being a profound battle technique? What makes you think it’s not one?
Round Ball wasn’t powerful, but it had good eyesight, and was able to tell it wasn’t a low-ranked fist skill. A normal person would probably have a hard time learning the move within a short period of time, much more so if they tried learning in a covert way.
!!
w.a.n.g Teng is lying.
The young man chuckled in his heart. He ignored the little helper and turned into a ray of light, traveling a few hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
The other was in shock, wide eyed a second time, and could only force itself to accept reality.
What the h.e.l.l, that is the footwork the silver-haired girl used to escape!
w.a.n.g Teng learned this too?
Outrageous!
This is outrageous!
w.a.n.g Teng flashed above the sea like a ray of light. His speed reached an extreme as he refracted and darted just like a real beam of light.
However, he was still unfamiliar with the skill; the execution wasn’t as smooth.
His speed was vastly different when compared with the girl’s.
However, it didn’t matter. He could use his blank attributes to raise its level.
Fist of Light: 100/1000 (foundation)
Light Bolt: 150/1000 (foundation)
w.a.n.g Teng stopped to look at his attribute board. The two techniques were only at the foundation stage, so there wasn’t much he could ask from their effects.
His eyes were s.h.i.+ning. He was elated.
That counted as interest!
He wouldn’t hand out the ‘seed’ for free.
He wondered what the young girl’s expression would be like in their next encounter. Mind you, he had her techniques now.
By then he would ask her to give him back what she took.
Does she think I would let her go after s.n.a.t.c.hing the ‘seed’?
No way in he**!
“Round Ball, let’s go!” w.a.n.g Teng said. He stepped on the surface of the sea and disappeared into the horizon.
“w.a.n.g Teng, how did you do it?”
“I told you already. I’m a genius!”
“No matter how smart you are, you can’t learn a skill with one look.”
“Why not? You’re constrained by your narrow vision.”
Silence.
“Oh right, do you know what race the young girl is from?”
“I don’t know. There are billions of races in the universe and some are extremely mysterious. Outsiders wouldn’t know about all of them.”
“All right, I overestimated your ability.”
Silence.
Their voices were heard intermittently.
…
w.a.n.g Teng hunted at sea for three days, raising his light force from the first to the second level of the celestial stage.
Well, it wasn’t that much.
Once the celestial stage was reached, the increase rate slowed down.
It couldn’t be helped. There were endless light-element star beasts on the planet, but they weren’t strong. Emperor-level star beasts were rare; most were at the lord-level and below.
That wasn’t enough to fill up his appet.i.te.
But, he didn’t want to go too far. w.a.n.g Teng rarely killed star beasts below the lord-level; he would let them go after making them drop some attribute bubbles.
Sustainability was paramount!
w.a.n.g Teng looked at the distant mainland and said, “Time to leave!”
“All the star beasts in the sea will suffer if you don’t.” Round Ball was sitting on the young man’s shoulder, feeling bored.
“That’s not true. There’s an overpopulation of beasts here. They would flood and proliferate all over if not dealt with properly. I’m actually doing a good deed,” w.a.n.g Teng said righteously.
“Oh wow, I guess they have to thank you then.” Round Ball was at a loss.
“You’re welcome.”
Silence.
w.a.n.g Teng flew straight towards the coast. He wasn’t that far from the landma.s.s; it only took him about half an hour to get there.
Planet Light Velvet had a strange environment. Plants flourished, so they found a forest patch as soon as they arrived.
w.a.n.g Teng stepped into the woods without any hesitation.
Such a place would certainly have a large number of star beasts. There would be more attribute bubbles for him to collect.
He openly floated through the place, with no intention of hiding. The most powerful star beast on the planet was at the emperor-level. It was a piece of cake for him.
He flew while sizing up his surroundings at the same time.
The trees were tall and ma.s.sive. Even the common trees would need five people to encircle their trunks. Thorns and bushes were exceptionally dense, with vines as big as pythons creeping over the ground, coiling around the roots of those trees.
w.a.n.g Teng asked Catalpa about the environment; her explanation was that the lush greenery was a result of the thick light force and the pervading strong vitality.
After moving three hundred meters into the forest, he heard a loud roar. A giant lord-level star beast pounced on him, ready to swallow him whole.
w.a.n.g Teng raised a palm and slapped it back into the forest. Fresh blood splattered in the air.
“What was that?” w.a.n.g Teng asked Round Ball.
“Too fast, I didn’t see it properly.” The latter shook its head.
Our young hero picked up the attribute bubbles and stopped thinking about the fallen star beast. He turned and left.
After flying for more than ten minutes, he reached a deeper part of the forest, and was able to feel the number of beasts increasing. He stopped and took out the ‘seed’ to attract them all. It would be a ha.s.sle to hunt them one by one.
Howls and roars echoed in the forest as soon as the ‘seed’ appeared.
After a few seconds, the ground shook and trees started trembling. Leaves fell in droves.
