Wang Teng skillfully evaded Tong En's attempt to pinch his face.
This senior sister is really friendly!
Can you just pinch any guy's face casually?
Of course not.
"Stingy little guy, just let me pinch you!" Tong En pouted, showing a hint of disappointment when her attempt failed.
"Senior sister, face-pinching comes with responsibilities," Wang Teng teased.
"I take full responsibility!" Tong En's eyes lit up. "I love cute, young boys."
Wang Teng: …
Is this a female rogue? "Junior Wang Teng, is it really you?" Bi Yao exclaimed in surprise.
"Who else did you think it could be?" Wang Teng replied.
"True." Bi Yao nodded after a moment's pause.
In that perilous situation, only someone they knew would come to their aid.
They hadn't expected that a connection made on their way here would turn into such a fortunate encounter.
Furthermore, the outcome exceeded their expectations.
"Tong En, you're lucky to run into Wang Teng. Otherwise, this time, you might have met your end here," another voice came from the darkness.
Tong En and her companions were taken aback. They had been so focused on Wang Teng that they hadn't realized there were others present.

As they emerged from the darkness, Tong En and her companions immediately recognized their faces.
"Wan Dong! It's you!" Tong En exclaimed in surprise.
It was clear that they also knew Wan Dong and the others.
"How did you end up with Junior Wang Teng?" Bi Yao asked curiously.
Wan Dong and his group felt a bit awkward. They couldn't just admit that they had been captured by Wang Teng, which would be quite embarrassing.
"Cough, cough." Wang Teng cleared his throat and said, "We're all friends here, working together, working together."
Tong En scanned Wang Teng and Wan Dong's faces and felt that something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Wan Dong and his group breathed a sigh of relief. At least Wang Teng had saved face for them.
At this moment, they surprisingly felt grateful to Wang Teng.
Tong En didn't dwell on the matter. She was more curious about Wang Teng's strength. How could he be so powerful?
Moreover, the appearance of the divine golden phoenix earlier seemed to be…
Divine spirit master!
Tong En's mind raced as she thought of something, her astonishment growing.
He must be a divine spirit master!
It was clear that they had underestimated Wang Teng, this junior of theirs. No wonder he insisted on carrying out a mission alone even though it was a nightmare-level mission with an 80% fatality rate.

This Junior Wang Teng was truly remarkable. Despite being a freshman, he was almost on par with the seasoned students.
His future was limitless.
Tong En wasn't the only one who thought of this. Bi Yao, Wei Na, and the others had the same thought.
In an instant, they viewed Wang Teng with more importance and their intentions to build a strong relationship with him grew stronger.
Furthermore, Wang Teng was a grandmaster alchemist. Such talents were not easy to come by.
With these thoughts in mind, Tong En and the others felt incredibly grateful, and they warmly expressed their appreciation towards Wang Teng.
"Seniors, you should heal yourselves quickly. Those armored corpses might pass by here at any moment," Wang Teng advised.
"Yes!" Tong En and the others nodded. Without any hesitation, they sat down and took out healing pills, starting their recovery.
Their previous battle had drained their strength significantly, and they had sustained injuries. Without recuperation, they would be a burden.
As their wounds slowly healed, the expressions of Tong En and the others didn't improve. They couldn't shake off the lingering shadowy power, which coiled around their Fforce and even their physical bodies, causing them considerable discomfort.
"Damn it! What is this power, and why is it so persistent?" Yuan Bai complained as he opened his eyes.
The others also opened their eyes, their expressions far from reassuring.
This strange force was beyond their expectations.
"Senior Sister, give me your hand. Let me take a look," Wang Teng said to Tong En.
"Alright!" Tong En hesitated for a moment, not knowing what Wang Teng intended to do. However, considering his status as a Grandmaster Alchemist, she thought he might have a solution. So, she extended her hand.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Wang Teng held Tong En's hand, and his initial impression was that… it was a bit soft!
Cough, cough.
Coughing discreetly, Wang Teng quickly regained his composure, putting on a serious expression as he carefully sensed the situation. He indeed detected the presence of the Shadow Power.
"Don't resist," Wang Teng said.
Tong En blinked and nodded.
Yuan Bai and the others were astounded. They looked over and saw Wang Teng.
Could he have a solution?
Wang Teng activated his Shadow Talent, and a gentle suction force emanated from his palm, flowing into Tong En's body.
"What is this?" Tong En exclaimed, her eyes widening as she stared at Wang Teng in disbelief.
She felt the Shadow Power being absorbed.
It was unbelievable!
How did he do it?
In no time, all the shadowy force within Tung En's body had been completely absorbed, leaving no trace behind.
She immediately felt much lighter, and the cold, eerie sensation had vanished entirely. The bluish hue on her face had also disappeared.
"Is it better now?" Yuan Bai and the others were astonished, looking at Tong En, and then back at Wang Teng.
Wan Dong and his group were equally surprised, though they had a bit of mental preparation as Wang Teng had effortlessly resolved the shadows earlier.
The situation with Tong En and her friends appeared to be similar to what had happened to Guang Yu and the others.
Could it be that these armored corpses were controlled by something similar to these shadows?
