1490 The End of the Elimination Round! (1)
The Crown Prince’s domain couldn’t resist the Giant Volcanic Jellyfishes’ attack and collapsed.
Everyone was gobsmacked.
“The Crown Prince couldn’t endure for longer!”
“Oh my, the Crown Prince collapsed first!”
“w.a.n.g Teng is still standing. Is his domain more powerful than the prince’s?”
!!
“What’s w.a.n.g Teng’s water domain? It’s so strong!”
“Oh my G.o.d. Is the Crown Prince going to admit defeat since his domain was unable to resist the jellyfish anymore?”
“There’s only three hours left and ten thousand points or so between w.a.n.g Teng and the Crown Prince. If he gives up, w.a.n.g Teng may have a shot at surpa.s.sing him.”
…
Deep in the sea—the prince reappeared after his domain collapsed and shot back at lightning speed.
Boom, boom, boom…
Crimson light beams landed on the spot where the Crown Prince was just a second before. Explosions rang.
Bubbles appeared in the water, evaporated by the blazing heat. However, they were soon engulfed by surrounding seawater
The n.o.ble clutched his sword and lashed out, killing a large patch of jellyfish.
w.a.n.g Teng glanced at him in surprise. The prince’s domain was the same rank as his, but it collapsed sooner. This meant it was weaker than the Netherworld Domain.
However, that wasn’t enough to underestimate the n.o.ble. Just like him, the Crown Prince was probably hiding some of his potential.
Actually, the two of them were just waiting for the compet.i.tion to end. They weren’t really pressed to escape from the siege; they would be automatically transported elsewhere at the end of the round.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t give this too much thought. There wasn’t much time left and he was still ten thousand points behind the Crown Prince. He needed to hurry.
He executed his Netherworld Domain to the maximum and pulled numerous creatures into it. They turned into water droplets.
All the jellyfish that touched the domain’s water were corroded, leaving nothing but a few water droplets behind.
Such a way to die was undoubtedly more bizarre than being squashed by the pressure of gravity.
However, outsiders wouldn’t know how dangerous that domain was unless they entered it.
All the power within the Netherworld Domain erupted and the young hero’s killing speed increased a few times.
The Crown Prince’s domain had already collapsed, and he showed no signs wanting to use it again. No one knew if it was a strategy, or that he couldn’t use it.
That way, the score difference between the two continued to shrink. It went from ten thousand to eight thousand, six thousand…
Two hours.
One hour.
Everyone stared at the points. They were even more nervous than the Crown Prince himself.
He’s going to overtake soon!
He’s going to overtake soon!
He’s going to overtake the Crown Prince soon!
The middle aged man and the elder from the imperial family, the military’s generals, the formidable warriors from the dukedoms, and almost everyone watching the broadcast were staring intently at the points.
The time and difference in points were both decreasing steadily. It was like a compet.i.tion to award the fastest runner.
The Crown Prince finally frowned a bit when he noticed the score gap. The astonishment in his eyes grew as he stared at w.a.n.g Teng again.
Swoos.h.!.+
Sword glows flashed through the air and swept across the sea. His killing rate increased.
However, he was still slower than his compet.i.tor.
Time flew, and they reached the last hour. Numerous jellyfish were killed, but there were still countless more moving toward them. There was no end to the hunting.
“Last ten minutes! There’s only ten minutes left!”
“They’re only a thousand points apart! Oh my G.o.d, my heart is coming out of my chest.”
“A thousand points? How did w.a.n.g Teng manage to shrink the difference? This is unbelievable.”
“How did he do it?”
“Faster! w.a.n.g Teng, faster!”
“I’m cheering for the Crown Prince. Don’t let w.a.n.g Teng catch up in the last ten minutes!”
“Hahaha, w.a.n.g Teng, go! Crush the Crown Prince!”
“I like the word ‘crush’.”
Silence.
…
The atmosphere was heating up on the live chat platform. Everyone was excited. Some cheered for the Crown Prince while others supported the military protégé. They hoped he could turn the tables.
A bigger proportion of people thought along those lines.
The Crown Prince was a high and mighty individual, born in the imperial cradle. He represented the highest status.
w.a.n.g Teng on the other hand—many had already done some research. They knew he had emerged from an underdeveloped planet, but he forged ahead with gusto and determination, eventually becoming a baron. Afterwards, he made a name for himself in the military, fighting hard on the battlefield before finally rising in the League of Talents.
Most people saw him as a role model and source of inspiration.
The rise of a common fellow!
They couldn’t do it but they hoped that w.a.n.g Teng, one who shared a similar origin, would be able to.
“Go!” A bunch of people shouted with great enthusiasm on the live chat platform.
w.a.n.g Teng was unaware of the excitement. He was immersed in killing; all he could think of was to kill, kill, and kill!
As long as his blade was fast enough, he could catch up with the Crown Prince!
Time flew. Seven minutes, six minutes, five minutes…
Three minutes!
Two minutes!
One minute!
Up to the last second, w.a.n.g Teng kept going with the ma.s.sacre. Giant Volcanic Jellyfishes were still dying within his domain.
As for the Crown Prince, he had already sheathed his battle sword and was at the moment gazing at the dark blue domain with an ambiguous expression.
