Chapter 2024 He Wasn’t A Normal Martial Warrior! (1) The difficulty of dealing with the black shadows was well known to Wan Dong and the others. But at this moment, the black figure in Wang Teng’s hand seemed to lose its ability to resist and was easily handled. What was going on? Did he have a way to specifically counter the black shadows? Even more bewildering was that the method Wang Teng just used seemed to… absorb the black shadow? Absorb! The others found the situation absurd. How could the black shadows be absorbed? Wasn’t he afraid of indigestion? But the black shadows did disappear without a trace. How did Wang Teng do it? Wan Dong and the others were full of questions and were itching to drag Wang Teng over to ask, as they were too curious. However, Wang Teng had no intention of ending things here. He rushed towards the several black figures isolated in another area. Boom! The walls constructed by his spiritual power suddenly dropped. The few black shadows were momentarily stunned, then turned to look at Wang Teng, who had suddenly appeared. They quickly merged and charged at him. They had no idea what they were about to face. Boom! Wang Teng’s lips curled up slightly as he threw a punch. Abyss Burial! This was the technique he had used earlier to abruptly halt the merging of the black shadows. He had early on deduced that only spiritual power techniques could deal with the black figures, and this Abyss Burial was effective in targeting not just the soul but also spiritual power. It had proven to be effective against the merging of the black shadows. The merging of several black shadows was indeed interrupted, and Wang Teng activated the Shadow Talent to absorb them. One by one, the black shadows disappeared into Wang Teng’s palm. In a short while, almost all of the twenty or thirty black shadows that had appeared earlier had been absorbed by Wang Teng, leaving only those dealing with Guang Yu and the others unresolved. However, he wasn’t in a hurry. He allowed Guang Yu and the others to play around a bit more. He wouldn’t make a move until the critical moment. If not, how could he let them experience the sense of despair? Wang Teng glanced at his attributes board. Both his Shadow Talent and Shadow Power had increased. Shadow Talent: 4200/10000 (first-rank) Shadow Power: 3700/10000 (first-rank) This is a huge improvement! Wang Teng felt the changes in his Shadow Talent and nodded to himself. The stronger the Shadow Talent, the more adept he would be at controlling the Shadow Power. The more abundant the Shadow Power, the longer he could use the Shadow Talent. The two were closely related. Boom! The spiritual power walls separated on their own, and Wang Teng walked towards Wan Dong and the others. Wan Dong and the others exchanged glances but refrained from asking questions, their expressions becoming increasingly peculiar. They had complex feelings. On the one hand, they didn’t want anything to happen to Wang Teng due to the poison in their bodies, but they also didn’t want him to become too powerful, or else their chances of detoxifying would be slim. “It seems like they can’t handle that black giant,” the queen looked toward Guang Yu and the others and remarked. “It’s alright. With their abilities, even if they can’t handle it, they won’t die so easily,” Wang Teng replied calmly. The talents from the Stellar Academies weren’t weak. Those shadowy figures would have a hard time killing them. In reality, both sides were in a stalemate. The black giant couldn’t do much to Guang Yu and the others, but Guang Yu and his team also couldn’t subdue the black giant. However, Guang Yu and his team were in a difficult situation. The shadowy forces invading their bodies were hard to expel, and this was a considerable threat. Even if they didn’t die right away, it would affect their Origin Of Soul and Origin Of Life. For a martial warrior, this was deadly. Not every martial warrior could enhance their Origin Of Soul and Origin Of Life in the manner that Wang Teng did, which was nearly like cheating. The queen didn’t say more after hearing Wang Teng’s words. Her concern wasn’t for Guang Yu and the others but for the shadowy figures. The black giant had merged with eight shadows, making it very powerful. In case they couldn’t defeat it, it would be wise to join forces and avoid being picked off one by one. Boom! Boom! Boom! In the distance, there was a continuous rumbling sound as Guang Yu and his team engaged in an intense battle with the black giant. Despite their combined efforts, they found it impossible to overcome the formidable foe, leaving them feeling frustrated and helpless. The regular snakemen martial warriors dared not approach, while only a few heaven-stage martial warriors were attempting to surround and attack the black giant. At this point, the black giant seemed to grow impatient. It emitted an ear-piercing roar and suddenly charged toward Damba. The king of Ostrich-Snake City was terrified, his face turning pale. He quickly retreated and swung his battle sword with all his might. “Get lost!” A slashing blade of energy streaked through the air, directly aimed at the black giant. Boom! However, the black giant unleashed a sudden burst of speed, transforming into a black streak of light, evading the blade and plunging directly into Damba’s body. “Damba!” Guang Yu and the others squinted. They had a bad feeling. The black shadow could still enter a person’s body after merging. It seemed that its control over stronger individuals was even more powerful. Damba was a heaven-stage martial warrior. If he was controlled by shadows, the consequences would be unimaginable. Damba’s face turned a sickly shade of dark blue-black as he struggled to maintain control. He reached out to Guang Yu and his team, his voice hoarse, pleading, “Save… me!” “Damn it!” Guang Yu’s face was twisted with worry. He hesitated for only a moment before charging toward Damba, hoping to break the giant’s control. Heaven-stage martial warriors were more challenging to control than the previous snakemen. While the snakemen had fallen under its control almost instantly, Damba still fought against it. Meanwhile, in the distance, Wan Dong and his team watched with grave concern. They had never anticipated that the black giant would choose to control the heaven-stage snakeman.
