General Fu Xinglan and the invigilators were caught between laughter and tears. Wang Teng's approach was always unpredictable.
However, it did the job well. The devilized Crown Prince didn't rush to make a move; however, he broke the silence with an eerie and cold voice, "I have to thank you. The chance to suppress his consciousness wouldn't have appeared if you hadn't crushed his mentality with his defeat."
The meaning implied in those words was somewhat intriguing.
Grand Duke Chongshan, General Fu Xinglan, and all seven invigilators were frowning.
"His devilized state seems a bit unusual," Nancy said.
"It seems like there's a separate consciousness inside the prince's body," General Fu Xinglan commented.
"Is it a consciousness created after being corrupted by dark Force? Or is it something that invaded his body?" The grand duke's expression reflected a subtle change.
"I can't tell at the moment. Let's watch for now." Gong Han frowned.
Wang Teng heard the devilized noble and found that his guess was right on the money.
The prince's dark state was a little special; he wasn't the one controlling the body. Some other entity had wrested control off of him.
"Then, how are you planning to thank me?" the hero asked all of a sudden to the other.
The devilized Crown Prince: (°ー°〃)
Something doesn't feel right.
He's making it seem as if I ought to thank him.
The hero shook his head and sighed, disappointed. "If you don't want to, that's fine… but why are you playing around with my feelings?"
Veins started to bulge on the devilized noble. He sneered and said. "To thank you, I shall allow you to become my slave so you can serve me. How about this gift?"
Wang Teng rubbed his chin and answered with contempt, "Sounds good, but I only like to serve females. I'm not into males."

Why is he still joking around in this kind of situation?
The devilized prince's eyes twitched. "You didn't cherish the opportunity, so you shall die!"
A harsh killing intent burst from his eyes as he pointed a finger at the hero. Black mist rolled over, forming spikes that were shot towards the latter.
Boom!
A terrifying, cold malice was swept forth, as if trying to engulf and corrupt the earthling's spirit.
Wang Teng focused his gaze and his Nine Treasures Pagoda was manifested, emitting golden light to dispel the malevolent spiritual attack.
At the same time, he leaped and dazzling white light burst from his hands as fist projections were blasting towards the possessed noble.
Fist of Light!
All the spikes collapsed due to the fist attacks, which turned into white pillars of light, blasting holes in the dense, black mist.
"Light Force!" The devilized Crown Prince was surprised.
"Wang Teng is a light-element warrior!" The crowd was stunned and pleased.
The hero had beaten Valmont, but his attacks were hidden by the latter's Black Mist Domain; no one was able to see them. However, they did see a certain glow shattering the dark domain, which led to people speculating that the earthling was also a light Force user.
From the looks of it, their guesses were right!
The young hero was indeed an extremely rare warrior of the light element!
The audience was in high spirits. Light warriors were nemeses of dark Force users.
The hero had already proven to be stronger than the Crown Prince. The dark possession had indeed made the latter more powerful, yet Wang Teng could harness light Force. There was still a chance to defeat the noble.

Boom!
The hero attacked once more with his Fist of Light, a dazzling move that illuminated the entire sky.
"Hmph! So what if you have light Force?" The devilized Crown Prince scoffed and turned into a streak of black light to charge towards the hero. He countered with a fist attack of his own, and the floating black mist transformed into a fist.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Black and white fists clashed in the air, dividing the sky in two halves of contrasting colors.
Surprisingly enough, the prince's fist appeared to be on par with the hero's. Both warriors continued to attack, their fist clashing non stop.
Darkness and light countered each other. The attacks from each side canceled the other; a terrifying wake of Force was sweeping through the surroundings.
The possessed prince's dark Force was beyond ghastly, far beyond the usual output of a celestial warrior. The rush of fists was endless, eventually exploding.
If not for the hero's vast reserve of energy and a sturdy body, it would have been impossible to resist the dark prince's attacks.
The crowd was astonished by their strengths.
Wang Teng's Fist of Light wasn't any weaker than his Five-element Fist. The move was extremely powerful, imbued with purifying light, ready to cleanse all darkness.
Meanwhile, the devilized Crown Prince's fist was imbued with darkness, evil and chaos… It was actually on par with the hero's Fist of Light.
The prince had only been able to dodge prior to his transformation, not even daring to resist.
The contrast was massive.
Boom!
Both warriors flew back for several kilometers before they launched more punches.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Wang Teng stared at the devilized noble; the latter's strength was beyond his expectations. Most importantly, the opponent was using dark element techniques. Did the Crown Prince master those?
It should be impossible!
Wang Teng rejected the hypothesis.
Since a different consciousness was controlling the prince's body, it possessed a different set of techniques. This meant that the hero's prior intel about the noble was no longer useful.
A brilliant light flashed in Wang Teng's eyes as he condensed a horrifying, yellow-colored saber projection and slashed down.
Huang Heaven Blade!
Boom!
A roar echoed in the sky as the saber attack rushed towards the devilized noble.
Many people had eyes as wide as saucers while they witnessed the fight above the arena.
Just then, a golden sword burst forth in the air.
Clang!
The golden sword clashed with the yellow saber, producing metallic sounds. The sword and saber intents were swept forth, cutting through the sky.
Wang Teng focused his gaze and noticed that the golden sword wasn't pure; it had some black specks.
The Crown Prince's Third Sword contained the power of darkness!
Horrified, he stepped aside without hesitation and retreated.
Crack!
There was a crisp, cracking sound.
Wang Teng's yellow saber projection shattered!
Both moves were the same used before the prince transformed, but the tables turned!
"Erm…"
The expressions of many were changing as they watched in horror.
Wang Teng's horrifying saber move could no longer withstand the devilized prince's sword attack.
The noble was much stronger than before!
Everyone was concerned for the hero.
The sword glow shattered the saber move and continued on its way towards Wang Teng without losing any momentum.
The latter had already foreseen this and taken evasive actions, the sword was too fast; it was already about to reach his face.
Gasp!
Everyone was shocked as they looked at the battle in the sky.
It was life and death in an instant!
The expressions of General Fu Xinglan and the others changed. The former took a hasty step, almost about to step in and interfere.
"Don't be hasty!" Gong Han's eyes flashed as he held onto the general's shoulder. "Look at Wang Teng's expression."
The former snapped out of his shock. The lad was calm; the look on his face was stern but he wasn't panicking. He didn't seem to be worrying about anything.
On planet Yuming—Wu Xingyun, Old Han and the others were horrified as they looked at Wang Teng's crisis.
Lin Chuhan clenched her fists tightly; her pupils shrank as she saw what was happening. She almost cried out in shock.
Boom!
The terrifying golden sword continued its downward path; a pitch-black aura burst out, engulfing the hero within.
