Lin Chuhan started complaining about a certain someone. Why is he making me worry whenever he's competing?
…
Wang Teng held onto Valmont and landed in the arena. A team of military warriors immediately made an appearance and took Valmont away.
The latter seemed to be a goner, but he was merely wounded. He was still alive; Wang Teng left him with a little breath left.
The young hero knew that the matter would not end there, but the competition had to continue; he couldn't be concerned about it for the time being.
He returned to the zone platform and sat down; then, he stretched his back and attracted the troubled gazes of the Second Prince and the rest.
Ji Haochen sized Wang Teng up. Noticing that the latter had no injuries, he said, "You are a maniac."
Strachey and Landon looked at their nemesis with conflicted expressions.
They had to admit that the fellow was more capable than them in some aspects.
They couldn't have done the same if they experienced the same situation.
"How is it that I'm a maniac?" Wang Teng felt at a loss.
"That was someone reinforced with the power of darkness, and still you dealt with him so easily. Isn't that maniacal enough?" Ji Haochen said.
Wang Teng replied, "It's not that exaggerated. Valmont isn't as powerful as you think; you could have dealt with him just as easily."
Timothy interjected. "Do you think we're blind? We could tell how powerful he was."
Wang Teng saw he had been mercilessly exposed, so he cleared his throat and said, "Cough. I'm just trying to comfort you guys."
"We can only thank you for that." Ji Haochen didn't know what else to say.

Valmont isn't powerful? That's just a roundabout way to brag about his own strength.
Pretentious!
"Wang Teng, are you sure he's a mixed blood?" the Second Prince asked with a gruff voice.
Wang Teng wasn't in a hurry to answer. He countered with another question, "Your highness knows about their existence?"
"People like us have more or less heard about it," Ji Haochen offered.
Wang Teng nodded and pondered. Looks like the people from the upper class families know more than I thought about these subjects.
Wang Teng nodded and conceded. "Valmont is indeed a mixed blood!"
The Second Prince took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid this is a problem, since a mixed blood fighter has made an appearance."
"Mixed bloods only have half of the Darkland's bloodline, the other half is still of the light faction's. Aren't the two factions enemies?" Wang Teng thought about Little Zi Ye and the others he had met before.
The Second Prince glanced at the young hero. "It's not that simple."
The earthling's gaze flickered. Based on the prince's words, he could tell how the light faction's upper echelons thought about mixed bloods.
"After all, half their blood comes from the dark apparitions. Some have leaned towards the light faction, wishing to return, but there are still some that serve the dark," relayed the Second Prince, via voice transmission.
"So, if there's an opening, it would present an opportunity the apparitions could make use of," Wang Teng responded, "An easier opportunity to enter our world!"
"That's right. Looks like you have the general idea." The amiable prince nodded. "We once speculated the mixed population is large. If all of them returned, our world would be riddled with holes; there would no longer be any obstacles for the dark apparitions to attack."
Wang Teng sighed. He understood this.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})He just pitied those people. Were they really condemned to live in darkness forever, never seeing the light again?
The Second Prince said, "Mixed bloods appear boldly in the League of Talents… This is a blatant provocation to both the Great Qian Empire and the Seven Stellar Academies. I'm afraid it'll cause a great disturbance."
Wang Teng added a short, yet meaningful phrase, "The world isn't just black or white."
The former glanced at the hero with surprise, not expecting such a statement.
However, he could only swallow the words he planned to respond when he saw that the earthling had closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to continue speaking.
Still, the words lingered in his heart for a long time, unable to guess the true meaning behind them.
The hero used the opportunity to immediately focus on his attributes board.
He had collected a lot of dark attribute bubbles in the previous battle.
However, most of them were of constellation dark Force and the Dark Ultima, which weren't that useful for him.
The former was already at the perfected ninth level, while his Dark Ultima was at the limit attainable.
Only the Black Mist Domain was interesting!
However, he wasn't planning on using it separately; he would integrate it with his Dark Domain.
The new domain possessed strong illusory and concealing qualities. It was considered a great ability.
Integrating the two domains would provide an additional means of attack, making his Dark Domain even more powerful.
After some thought, he went ahead and merged the two domains, taking advantage that the bubbles had yet to disappear.
The enlightenment obtained from the attribute bubbles was the deepest and most profound anyone could ever have.
