1596 Another Possibility!
The appearance of the Star Rankings came as a surprise to everyone.
It was briefly displayed, leaving shortly after.
The audience was left in shock, remaining dazed for a long time.
This was a legendary listing, the names recorded were just as legendary. Its sudden manifestation was cause for excitement.
However, their attention was soon trained back onto w.a.n.g Teng. After all, an expert included in the list was standing right in front of them.
He was a real, living legend!
Everyone started sizing up the young hero like a rare breed.
No one expected him to leave his name on the Star Rankings. It was an impressive feat.
w.a.n.g Teng shook his head. Honestly, he too was surprised.
However, he didn’t think too much of it, given that his name was merely recorded and disappeared soon after.
Rather than focusing on vague and intangible things, it was better to look at whatever was in front of him… like the attribute bubbles!
He glanced around him and found many bubbles floating in the air. His eyes were instantly lit up; he swept his spiritual power to collect them.

…
My G.o.d, there’s too many of them!
The hero was stunned after collecting everything.
As expected of the Crown Prince, even the attributes dropped exceeded those of the other partic.i.p.ants.
w.a.n.g Teng ignored the Force attributes and went straight to the talent stats.
He received three different divine-level talents from the fallen prince.
Divine Level Metal Talent: 7300/50000
Divine Level Dark Talent: 17500/50000
Divine Level Sword Talent: 8700/50000
In the blink of an eye, his acc.u.mulated talents rose exponentially. They were now many times stronger than before.
The appearance of divine-level dark talent surprised him.
The Crown Prince was a regular human. Even if he was contaminated by dark Force, it was odd for him to drop dark talent.
Furthermore, the attribute was of divine level.
The only option was that the other consciousness lodged within his mind was… a dark apparition!
The hero frowned as he considered this. However, he didn’t dwell upon it since the n.o.ble had already been taken away by the grand duke.
Aside from talent attributes, the Crown Prince had also dropped many spirit and enlightenment bubbles.
His talent was mighty; it was understandable his drops would be bountiful.
Enlightenment: 133500/200000 (heaven realm)
w.a.n.g Teng was shocked upon seeing his enlightenment value.
Mind you, last time he checked he only had over sixty thousand points. Now, it was at 133,500. The rise was startling.
This was also reasonable. He had indeed picked up many enlightenment bubbles over the past few days of compet.i.tion. Every candidate had dropped some of it; it wasn’t strange to acc.u.mulate that much.
Next were The Twelve Tyrant Swords…
First Sword! Second Sword! Third Sword!
All three swords were present.
His conjecture was right on the money. Once the Crown Prince executed them, he was able to learn them.
The hero pondered in silence over the issue. The Crown Prince was pitiful enough; there was no need to kick him while he was down.
w.a.n.g Teng still had some conscience.
He truly looked forward to getting all Twelve Tyrant Swords. Come on, it was a divine level battle technique.
Many images appeared in his mind right after absorbing the three attributes. They turned into part of his memory and enlightenment, merging with him.
The Twelve Tyrant Swords (First Sword): 6500/50000 (specialized)
The Twelve Tyrant Swords (Second Sword): 5000/10000 (foundation)
The Twelve Tyrant Swords (Third Sword): 2800/10000 (foundation)
Aside from the First Sword, the other two were both at the foundation stage.
w.a.n.g Teng sighed. The Crown Prince was currently in trouble… Where can I find more attributes?
It seemed like he would have to practice the last two moves on his own.
Nevermind, I’ll practice when I have time. I’m a genius; let’s not squander my talent, w.a.n.g Teng pondered.
However, every sword move was tougher than the previous one; he would need much more time to grasp them.
Most importantly, he barely had the first three swords!
The skill name obviously implied the existence of twelve swords, while he had barely gotten three of them. The remaining nine were nowhere to be found.
Such a sad and unfortunate situation!
Next was the Tyrant’s Finger. He received six thousand attribute points.
He had already developed the skill up to the well-versed stage. The recent addition took the latter to the specialized stage.
Tyrant’s Finger (universe stage): 1100/8000 (specialized)
w.a.n.g Teng looked at his finger and thought, Not bad. I can use this move to poke a warrior to death if they are below the cosmos’ fifth-level.
Aside from the regular battle techniques, he also received a dark battle technique, called Dark Devil Fist.
Dark Devil Fist: 1200/5000 (well-versed)
4200 points raised the attribute to rise all the way to the well-versed, which allowed him to execute attacks with a considerable amount of power.
Furthermore, it was a t.i.tan-level devil technique!
The hero recalled his fight with the devilized Crown Prince. The fist skill the latter executed was the Dark Devil Fist.
Based on the outcome, the prince was being affected by a peculiar dark apparition. The fellow wouldn’t have yielded a t.i.tan-level skill otherwise.
Why do you have to call it Dark Devil Fist? Weren’t you trying to give me a ma.s.sage with it? w.a.n.g Teng complained inwardly. (In Chinese, ‘Dark Devil’ is p.r.o.nounced just like ‘Ma.s.sage’.)
Then, there was the domain. The Crown Prince possessed the Metal Domain, and dropped 2200 points of it.
The small amount wasn’t because the n.o.ble’s grasp on said power was low. It was because w.a.n.g Teng’s domain was also at the fourth-rank. There was an overlap, so the amount was decent.
Metal Domain: 3450/4000 (fourth-rank)
Actually, the hero was more intent on merging the domain to make other special metal-based domains, such as the Golden Luminescence Sword Domain, or the Golden Lightning Sword Domain. Both were more powerful in comparison.
Of course, time was needed for the conversion; it wasn’t an instant process.
There was also another dark domain: the Dark Devour Domain.
w.a.n.g Teng closed his eyes and sensed the latter. He was startled, his expression looking grim.
The Dark Devour Domain was indeed powerful!
As the name implied, it had an engulfing ability. w.a.n.g Teng blinked and wondered, Isn’t this similar to the ability of the Devouring Nihility Beast?
There were indeed some similarities.
However, it wasn’t a pure devouring ability; it was a combination of dark Force and devouring Force.
Nihility was a proper universe behemoth. It had nothing to do with dark star beasts; its devouring trait was pure and refined.
No wonder I sensed danger from that big mouth. w.a.n.g Teng was enlightened.
Back when the prince was devilized, the frightening suction force produced by the giant mouth had almost engulfed the hero.
He would have allowed himself to be swallowed to destroy the enemy from within under normal circ.u.mstances.
However, the dark mouth gave him a heart-shuddering alert, so he chose to be more prudent.
Thinking back, he felt fortunate to have taken that decision.
He had the Nihility beast, so he was well acquainted with its powers, more so than anyone.
He also had World Devouring power because of this, but who knew what accidents he could cause with it.
There was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Dark Devouring Domain: 0/2000 (second-rank)
The hero looked at his stats, noticing that the Dark Devouring Domain had just reached the second-rank.
He felt satisfied, as the attributes would be of great help to better grasp the devouring domains. Since dark apparitions could understand it, why couldn’t he?
It was an opportunity!
w.a.n.g Teng contemplated for some time before checking the last three attributes.
One was the Metal Origin, which only had eight hundred points.
However, it was already impressive for the Crown Prince to grasp an origin power. This proved how formidable he was.
Metla Origin: 1050/10000 (first-rank)
Thank you for your eight hundred points!
The hero thanked the prince in silence. No matter what, the latter was a good person.
Next was the Darkness Origin. It only had a thousand points, slightly more than the Metal Origin.
Darkness Origin: 8100/10000 (first-rank)
The heroic earthling glanced at his attributes board and noticed that the Darkness Origin was his most powerful origin power at the moment, nearly hitting the second rank.
Alas, he had no use for it, and could only shelve it.
w.a.n.g Teng suddenly wondered if he was similar to the Crown Prince. After all, he had an ample stock of dark Force.
He also considered another possibility; the prince possessing dark Force caused him to develop a separate dark persona.
Gasp! w.a.n.g Teng shuddered. The thought was a little frightening.
One had to consider the young n.o.ble’s end. His mentality wasn’t weak, and yet he was influenced by the dark.
It was too scary!
The hero opted to shelve the subject for the moment.
The last attribute was the devil transformation. There were 6,500 points of the latter, which was quite a considerable amount.
He had never received that much of this attribute before. The most he had acquired in the past was two thousand points. This time, he gathered 6,500 points. Looks like the prince’s devil transformation is extraordinary.
Devil Transformation: 5200/50000 (perfected)
What? It used to be at the big achievement stage. How did it rise to the perfected stage? w.a.n.g Teng was shocked.
What a high mastery!
How scary would he be if he used the transformation?
w.a.n.g Teng felt uncomfortable at the thought of using it.
His path was getting darker and darker!
d.a.m.n it, do I still have a chance to turn back?
