1523 Wang Teng vs Berkshire!
The revival round was completed.
Five candidates reentered the competition and 280 warriors in total advanced to the next round where they would fight for the top 140 positions.
Three days later, the matches continued.
Only a third of the remaining competitors were from the top 10 candidates that rose in the first elimination round.
The match was getting grueling and challenging.
!!
The Second Prince, the Third Prince, Ji Haochen, Strachey, and the other talents finally experienced a sense of oppression.
That was the pressure given by the other talents.
Even late-blooming talents like Yue Qiqiao, Tu Xiaoba, Su Jianchen, and Valmont were among the top 280. They were powerful, representing a threat to the princes and the dukedoms’ fighters.
As for Wang Teng, he remained calm. Those competitors weren’t enough to make his confidence waver.
Similarly, the Crown Prince also remained composed. Not once did he open his eyes to watch the fights. It was as if the matches weren’t enough to attract his attention.
Well, he did have the capital to act that way. Considering his ability, he didn’t need to study their duels.
They weren’t powerful enough!
He had met greater and stronger talents elsewhere; those were the people worth his attention.
Of course, there were some candidates worth noticing, but none of them had stepped into the arena.
The matches continued, but Wang Teng’s name had yet to appear.
The latter wished he could go against someone from the Parkers family. Only three of them were left: No. 3, Strachey, and Landon.
Either of them would do, as long as it was one of the Parkers.
However, the more he wanted something, the more it didn’t happen. All three warriors entered the arena with other opponents.
No. 3 heaved a sigh of relief. The scene of Glades being crushed to death kept haunting him. It was vivid, like a nightmare that wouldn’t fade from his memory.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen to him if he did meet Wang Teng.
The guy couldn’t admit defeat since his family wouldn’t allow him to give up without a fight. It would be humiliating.
However, if he fought, he would very likely be helpless against their nemesis’ punch.
Fortunately, he didn’t meet Wang Teng in that round. It was a true stroke of luck in that unlucky situation looming over them.
The warriors entered the arena and went about their fierce battles.
Lu Jing met Su Jianchen and lost. She couldn’t advance any further. The other three candidates from the military had also left the competition.
As for Wade, his opponent this time was Yuan Hong. This was another tragedy!
Naturally, he wasn’t that expert’s match and lost, getting kicked out yet again.
“The fatty is pitiful!”
“He had to cope with a weight that wasn’t his to bear.”
“All his opponents were strong, so he was kicked out in all three matches. Poor thing. He has to struggle in the revival rounds three times already.”
“I wonder, will he make it out of the revival round this time?”
“This is the third time. If he succeeds, I will bestow him the title of Fatty God.”
“Haha… Fatty God? What kind of name is this? Why not call him GodV?”
“GodV is another person!”
“They both look ordinary but they’re actually amazing. I hope the fatty can create more miracles.”
“Fatty, all the best!”
…
Wang Teng waited till the third day for his name to be displayed on the light sphere.
Wang Teng vs Berkshire!
The crowd was growing restless from all that waiting; all of them became excited when they saw his name.
“Wang Teng!”
“Finally!”
“It’s not easy. It took three days for him to be called up!”
“Wang Teng only threw a punch in the previous match. It was over before I could even enjoy it!”
“Wang Teng is too strong. Weaker participants are just bullied by him!”
…
Everyone saw the names on the light sphere, but most were attracted by the young hero’s name, since he was so popular. They outright neglected the other fellow.
Soon though, people noticed who the contender was.
“Berkshire! It’s Berkshire!”
“He’s the one who got first place in Zone 6!”
“Damn, well met!”
“Oh no, I’m getting anxious.”
“This is the first time, first place winners meeting in the battle arena.”
“Great. I have a feeling this match is going to be the most exciting one so far.”
“Go on, get going. Quick. I can’t wait any longer!”
…
The audience’s emotions rose again when Berkshire was recognized. Wang Teng was too strong; ordinary warriors were not a match for him.
Things could be different if it was Berkshire, the first place holder in Zone 6.
Berkshire attracted widespread attention during the first elimination battle. His performance was dazzling; he wasn’t any weaker than the top ten talents of Zone 1.
All factions were taking note of him. Such a talent had to be roped in.
Many people investigated the talent’s background and discovered he hailed from Giant Rock, a small galaxy under the Great Qian Empire. The Giant Rock race was a powerful existence that thrived there.
This race had great affinity with constellation earth Force. Their massive bodies were like rock clusters, some growing to be seven or eight meters tall when they became adults, just like small giants.
Berkshire was one of them!
A member of the Giant Rock race who possessed extraordinary talent!
His planet, also named Giant Rock, was massive and brown colored, home to a large population of his kind.
In a great hall made with large rock formations on that very planet—a bunch of the candidate’s kin had gathered to stare at a screen.
The scene was comical!
It was like a group of giants in a small movie theater.
“Berkshire, it’s Berkshire!” one of them shouted all of a sudden.
“Is the kid going to fight another talent of the Great Qian Empire?” said a rocky universe stage warrior sitting on a massive stone chair, as he slowly opened his eyes.
“Yes, Sir Kellogg. Berkshire’s opponent is a super talent called Wang Teng!” a heaven stage warrior explained, then added in a serious tone, “Wang Teng is an extremely powerful warrior from the empire’s military. I’m afraid Berkshire will have a tough battle.”
“Hahaha, Berkshire is our race’s most talented warrior. No matter how strong the opponent, he will definitely be able to defeat him.” Kellogg laughed with grandeur.
“That’s right. Berkshire is a talent that appears only once in several thousand years. He’s expected to reach the eternal stage. He will definitely come out on top.” The other rocky experts showed determination in their eyes.
On the live chat platform—there was an abrupt surge of Berkshire fans. They were all martial warriors from the Giant Rock race.
“Berkshire!”
“Berkshire!”
“Berkshire will emerge victorious!”
…
Countless warriors of the rock race shouted Berkshire’s name to cheer him on.
To them, it was an honor of the highest level to have someone of their kind participate in the League of Talents. The entire Giant Rock race was proud of him.
It was a race’s pride and honor!
The same applied to Su Jianchen. He had support from the experts of the Tian Luo Empire because he was one of them; the further he advanced in the competition, the prouder the warriors would be. In the future, they would be remembered as talents who emerged from the Tian Luo Empire, just like Su Jianchen!
It was the same. Now, Berkshire was representing the Giant Rock race in battle!
As for Wang Teng, he had more supporters. Many people in the empire were supporting him.
All the warriors from the empire’s military were supporting him as well!
Even those who hailed from the distant planet Earth in the Milky Way were supporting him as well. Those familiar faces were looking intently at their screens, looking at their hero.
It was just that Earth’s population was too small compared to that of the Great Qian Empire. It was like comparing a small body of water with the ocean; the former could instantly be drowned in the latter.
It was too early for such a scene, but everyone was excited about the duel between Wang Teng and Berkshire.
Wang Teng slowly got up and walked over.
The Crown Prince opened his eyes and looked at him.
The Second Prince and the others also turned to look at the young hero.
On the other side, Berkshire was much rougher. He stomped on the stone platform and burst into the sky like a cannonball, producing a loud boom.
The corner of the stone platform immediately collapsed!
“Hahaha…” Berkshire’s laughter echoed in the sky. He was already in front of Wang Teng.
The latter was speechless as he looked at the big fellow. It’s just a competition. What is he laughing about?
“What’s so funny?”
“Shouldn’t you be happy when meeting a strong opponent?” Berkshire was holding a huge mace in each hand, excitement showing in his eyes.
“Ugh… I’m afraid you won’t be that happy later on,” Wang Teng said.
The rocky fellow wasn’t bothered. He replied with gusto, “Hehe, I like confident opponents like you. Let’s get on with it.”
“All right.” Wang Teng nodded.
Boom!
As soon as the words were heard, Berkshire took a step and the air beneath his feet burst, making a loud explosion.
His massive body turned into a streak of light as he darted towards the young hero. His maces released an earthy yellow light; he aimed to bash the opponent’s head.
Wang Teng raised his head calmly, eyes unwavering. His body seemed a little scrawny compared to Berkshire’s. His fists then erupted with terrifying force to resist the attack.
Boom!
The explosion resounded throughout the arena.
Both figures flew backwards for a dozen meters before they could stop.
Everyone’s eyes widened. The military talent was able to withstand the maces with his bare fists.
Furthermore, both sides seemed to be evenly matched. No one could suppress the other.
Still, everyone could tell that Wang Teng had an advantage. He wasn’t using any weapons.
Powerful!
Formidable!
That was the feeling that the young hero was giving to everyone!
It was a stronger and more intense feeling, compared to the time he defeated Glades with a punch. It was incomparable.
However, Wang Teng’s slim figure and Berkshire’s huge body offered a stark contrast!
The two stared at each other in the sky.
The rocky guy’s fighting will became more intense. He could feel his opponent’s strength. He was the first one to counter his attack with bare fists.
Boom!
Both sides sprung into action again, turning into clashing streaks of light.
Berkshire’s maces moved wildly, forming huge, yellow mace clone shadows to suppress the human.
Wang Teng then released fist glows in the sky. The five-element fists shattered the mace shadows.
“That’s a powerful fist technique!” several people exclaimed. Their eyes widened in shock as they stared at the formidable move executed by the young hero.
“Wait, that was an earth Force technique. Wang Teng has earth Force as well?”
“Earth Force! How many Forces can he use?”
“Has someone kept count?”
“This is madness. Water, wood, fire, earth, wind, and lightning. There’s six already.”
“Oh my god… This is incredible. How can someone have so many different kinds of Force?”
“Is this the legendary monster among monsters?”
“Wang Teng is an unimaginable monster all right.”
