Chapter 43: Earth-type Talent Online

"No!!"

The man screamed loudly, frantically channeling the Force within his body to condense an earthy-yellow shield.

"Earth Element Shield!"

But before the shield could fully materialize, Wang Teng's diamond stardust little fist... uh, wait, no—his Phantom Ice Fist had already come crashing down.

Boom!

Crack!

The battle shield shattered instantly, and the fist landed squarely on the man's face—

Passive skill activated... Face Break!

The man was sent flying by the punch.

There were no cheap special effects; there was only an extreme chill that invaded the man's head, freezing it solid.

The man's scream was cut short the moment it began!

A terrified expression froze on his face as his body flew backward and slammed into the ground.

KO!!

This was a fatal blow. Wang Teng had utilized all the ice-type Force within his Origin Core.

Even if it wasn't much, it was enough to kill!

The opponent had fallen!

From the very beginning, the information he possessed had been wrong.

Wang Teng was a Martial Artist, not a Martial Apprentice.

Wang Teng had calculated this with intent; he had first launched a sneak attack with the strength of a high-level Martial Apprentice, making the opponent believe he had everything under control.

As a result of his carelessness, Wang Teng erupted with the strength of a Martial Artist. Before the man could react, his arm was severed, and his fighting spirit vanished completely, leaving him with nothing but the desire to flee for his life.

Under such circumstances, he hadn't even exerted half of his combat power before Wang Teng sent him to meet the King of Hell with a single punch.

The battle was over!

Wang Teng's heart raced, and he breathed slightly heavily.

"I killed a Martial Artist!"

He was momentarily stunned.

This was different from the Martial Artist he had killed last time at Baoan Mountain.

Back then, the opponent was already heavily injured, and Wang Teng hadn't killed him head-on, but had used a Rune Gun instead.

That Martial Artist never would have imagined that Wang Teng's speed was much faster than an average high-level Martial Apprentice, causing the sneak attack to fail.

He certainly wouldn't have expected a high school student like Wang Teng to be hiding a Rune Gun.

It was due to these various reasons that Wang Teng had easily killed a Martial Artist in just a few shots.

"So, am I actually a total pro?"

"No way!"

Wang Teng shook his head quickly.

Picking up his battle sword, he stepped forward. After a brief hesitation, he plunged the sword into the man's heart.

Although the ice-type Force had frozen the man's brain, he added a strike to the heart just to be safe.

Several attribute bubbles dropped beside the corpse.

【Junior Earth Talent * 12】 【Earth Force * 3】 【Yellow Earth Technique * 1】 【Spirit * 1】 【Strength * 10】 ...

"An Earth-type Martial Artist!"

"It looks like I'll be gaining another elemental talent attribute. I'm really going further and further down the path of all-attribute mastery!"

Wang Teng picked up the attribute bubbles. His Spirit attribute increased by 1, bringing a sense of clarity to his mind, and the cultivation method for the "Yellow Earth Technique" immediately appeared in his memory.

His body also transformed into an Earth-affinity constitution, allowing him to instantly sense the Earth-type Force wandering between heaven and earth.

Earth-type Force surged into Wang Teng's body, and the 3 points of Earth Force he had picked up merged in as well.

After circulating through his limbs and bones according to the "Yellow Earth Technique," the energy entered his Origin Core.

The balance within the Origin Core was instantly disrupted.

The ice-type Force began to stir restlessly.

However, that profound, mysterious power appeared once more, soothing it back into place.

The three elements rotated slowly, returning to a state of balance, gradually forming a stable tripod formation.

"No battle skill drop this time?"

Looking at the attribute panel, Wang Teng felt a bit of regret.

"But the 'Yellow Earth Technique' does include a defensive battle skill—the Earth Element Shield!"

"The defensive shield that person used earlier must have been this skill! I blew it up before he could even fully manifest it; I wonder how good the defense is?"

"I'll have to find a chance to test it."

Wang Teng was quite satisfied with the Earth Element Shield.

He didn't lack offensive battle skills, but he lacked defensive means; the Earth Element Shield perfectly filled his shortcoming.

"The Spirit attribute dropped quite a bit this time, exactly 1 point. Could it be because I attacked his head?"

"Should I go get a brick so I can specialize in hitting people on the back of the head in the future?"

Thinking of this, Wang Teng suddenly felt there was great potential in the idea.

These thoughts flashed through his mind before he turned his gaze back to the corpse.

It was time to use his god-tier skill—the Corpse Looting Method!

As it turned out, aside from a mobile phone, the man's pockets were empty; there wasn't even a trace of a Rune weapon to be seen.

"Damn, so poor!"

How could Wang Teng have known that this man was truly poor!

He had only recently become a Martial Artist and had spent a fortune purchasing the "Yellow Earth Technique," leaving him with no extra money for battle skills or weapons.

Otherwise, why would he have come alone to hunt Wang Teng while hiding it from the other teammates he mentioned?

He simply wanted to monopolize the remains of the two Martial Artists.

Wang Teng did not waste any more time. His fire-type Force directly ignited the corpse, burning it to ashes.

He stared at the fading flames, feeling somewhat dazed.

In less than a month, his hands had been stained with several lives.

Although he hadn't been the aggressor each time and had only acted in self-defense—otherwise, he would have been the one losing his life—he was still the one who had killed them.

The hands stained with blood were his.

"Sigh, such sin!"

Wang Teng sighed, feeling that he was originally a pure and kind person, but the world was so harsh that it forced good people into evil!

The fire died out completely.

A sea breeze blew, and the embers scattered into the wind.

Suddenly, he realized—

Fire-type Force is simply an essential item for killing, arson, and domestic life!

Holding the Martial Artist's phone, Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and suddenly exerted force.

Crack!

An expensive smartphone was instantly crushed in his hand.

With a cold sneer, he tossed it into the sea, where it sank with a "plop."

Then, he took the two phones he had obtained earlier from the car and did the same, sinking them into the sea.

If they wanted to find them, they could go scavenge in the ocean!

This incident served as a warning to Wang Teng: in modern society, one must be wary of technological products.

...

Wang Teng drove away. Fortunately, it was quite late, and no other vehicles passed by.

Otherwise, if someone had witnessed this scene of murder and destruction of evidence, they would have been terrified.

Returning home, Wang Teng took out the items he had looted from the two Martial Artists. He checked them carefully one by one, and only after confirming there were no tracking devices did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I shouldn't bring these things home in the future, lest I drag my parents into the vendettas of Martial Artists."

"They aren't Martial Artists; it's best they don't come into contact with this."

"No wonder ordinary people know so little about the world of Martial Artists. If you haven't truly stepped into it, you really are living in two different worlds," Wang Teng thought to himself with some emotion.

"In that case, I'll have to rent a place. I'll go look tomorrow."

Just then, Li Xiumei's voice came from downstairs.

"Son, come quickly and eat some supper!"

"o(╯□╰)o Thank goodness I practice martial arts, otherwise, if I kept eating like this, I don't know how fat I'd get~"
