1512 The Crown Prince’s Taunt (1)
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t expect to find something related to a divine flame during the compet.i.tion.
He was surprised.
It was indeed a pleasant surprise.
However, it only counted as a piece of news.
If the probability of Ash Flame forming was 1%, the chances of a Gray-White Flame appearing was 0.00001%
!!
It was rarely encountered.
The likelihood was even lower than that of the Soul of Thousand Beasts Flame and the Emerald Glazed Flame.
However, he managed to get a piece of information from the beast’s memory…
The general knowledge was that Ash Flames were born within the Gray Sun Stones, but they didn’t know that this was the accompanying flame for the superior Gray-White Flame.
This meant that there was a high chance of finding the latter in the same area where the lesser flame was harvested.
And the person who knew where the Ash Flame was found was… Landon!
w.a.n.g Teng stopped looking at the fellow, but his mind worked furiously.
A divine flame!
I wouldn’t mind having another!
He had four, but one more wasn’t a problem.
Besides, he would be s.n.a.t.c.hing that divine flame from the hands of the Parkers.
Didn’t they try to s.n.a.t.c.h my divine flame? In that case, he would s.n.a.t.c.h the divine flame from under their noses. How would they feel if they knew he would steal a divine flame they had a chance of taming?
Would they die of anger?
Now, he just needed to know if the higher ups from the family knew about the superior flame.
They were probably unaware of the relation between the Ash Flame and the Gray-White Flame, or Landon probably had kept the information to himself.
Based on his understanding of the Parkers, there was a great chance they were oblivious of the divine flame’s existence.
If not, they would have tamed it at all costs.
Also, once found, they would have had their members use it, as it would increase the overall ability of their family.
Of course, in the end, he wouldn’t be able to hide it.
Still, there were no signs of the divine flame being seen. This meant that they had yet to tame it.
Being the case, our hero had ample freedom to act.
Still, he had to be patient and plan things slowly.
Based on Landon’s ability, he was likely to enter one of the Seven Stellar Academies. w.a.n.g Teng had similar prospects, so he would have the time to get more information out of him in the future.
Five days pa.s.sed. The Second and Third princes, Strachey, Jin Tiankuang, and the other talents of the imperial family and the dukedoms had completed their matches.
All their encounters were finished quickly. Their opponents couldn’t resist most of their attacks.
Overall, the ranking from the elimination round was highly credible. All the partic.i.p.ants who had entered the top ten were formidable characters.
Leng Qianxue, Gaunt, Berks.h.i.+re, Yuan Hong, and the other top ten talents from the various zones entered the arena and also finished their matches quickly. It was astonis.h.i.+ng.
Even Su Jianchen, Tu Xiaoba, Yue Qiqiao, and Valmont were able to advance. Their journey didn’t end tragically after a brief moment of limelight.
Some guessed that they were as strong as the top ten from Zone 1.
Unfortunately, they didn’t compete with them, so no one knew which side was stronger.
This served to build up everyone’s antic.i.p.ation.
On the tenth day, the candidate shown on the light sphere caused a huge uproar among the audience.
“The Crown Prince!”
“Finally!”
“I’ve waited for ten days. How can they place the Crown Prince right at the very end? This is too much.”
“It started with w.a.n.g Teng and ended with the Crown Prince. They must be doing this on purpose.”
“Either way, I can finally see the Crown Prince in action.”
“Ahhh… Crown Prince, I love you!”
…
The Crown Prince vs Bobe!
It was the favorite prince and a martial warrior from the top three of Zone 10.
Bobe didn’t look good, never expecting for his luck to be that bad. He actually met the Crown Prince in the fight for the top five hundred.
What luck is this?
Has the G.o.d of misfortune set eyes on me?
w.a.n.g Teng turned and looked at the Crown Prince who was lounging in the second seat. The latter stood up and strolled his way to the skies.
Bobe had also arrived. He was staring intently at the prince with a tense expression. The fellow seemed to be exceptionally nervous.
Who could blame him? Anyone who faced the renowned prince would probably feel the same.
“Start!”
Again, the voice coming from the light sphere resounded to start the match.
Bobe’s expression changed; he shouted angrily as if trying to encourage himself. He clenched his hands and earth Force surged from his body. The energy was congregated around a fist to form a giant, virtual fist.
Boom!
He released his fist mark. One could feel the terrifying ultima instilled in it from afar.
However, the Crown Prince seemed unfazed by this. He stepped forth confidently, allowing the strong gale to blow against his black hair.
When the fist mark was inches away from his head—he raised his finger and tapped lightly.
The giant virtual fist stopped in mid-air, unable to move any further.
Bobe’s expression changed. He stared at the scene in bewilderment.
Boom!
The next instant, explosions rang and echoed in the sky.
The virtual fist collapsed, sending a shockwave that swept everything in its path before it dissipated.
Bobe’s face turned pale, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. He flew backwards for a few kilometers before he managed to stabilize himself. He clutched his chest and stared at the prince in horror.
