Chapter 2316: Acting! Fight in Advance! (2) Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations “I am Han Zhu, a universe explorer. By a stroke of fate, 1 met the five major families and promised to protect them for a part of their journey. I wonder if Councilor Wang Teng could give me some face?” Wang Teng’s main body introduced himself and spoke with a smile. When Guizang Zhu and the others saw that he could still speak so righteously in front of the councilor, they immediately looked at him with a different light. Even Guizang Yan’s gaze toward Wang Teng changed a bit. This guy actually stood up against the pressure of the councilor to save him! “A universe explorer!” Wang Teng’s clone seemed a bit surprised and said, “I didn’t expect to encounter a universe explorer in this place.” “If Councilor Wang Teng doesn’t mind, we can be friends,” Wang Teng said with a smile. “If you can take a punch from me, I can be your friend,” the clone responded. Wang Teng frowned, seemingly hesitant. He glanced at Guizang Yan and the martial warriors from the Guizang Family and eventually nodded. He clasped his fists and said, “Very well, 1’11 have a good exchange with Councilor Wang Teng. Please go easy on me!” The clone didn’t say anything more. His eyes fixed on Wang Teng, and suddenly he rushed forward, delivering a powerful punch. Boom! A roar echoed, and the scorching Fire Force swept over, seemingly holding nothing back. Wang Teng appeared serious, showing no signs of retreating. When the clone arrived in front of him, he also threw a punch, condensing the constellation Earth Force into a massive yellow fist imprint. Bang! The collision of the two fist imprints reverberated in an instant, causing both to shatter simultaneously, unleashing a violent residual force that surged through the cave. The two figures staggered backward for dozens of meters before finally halting, standing at a distance. Their confrontation intensified, creating a tense atmosphere. Round Ball was at a loss for words, witnessing the play between the original and the clone. Only it knew that this was Wang Teng’s clone and original self, and the situation seemed comical and ridiculous. However, it had to hold back. It was a professional and would not laugh… Hahaha! Wang Teng was suddenly greeted with the echoing laughter of Round Ball in his mind. Wang Teng:… Guizang Yan and the others all turned their attention to Wang Teng and his clone. The tense atmosphere made them uneasy. After all, the outcome was related to whether Guizang Yan would continue to endure beatings. At this moment, unexpectedly, Guizang Yan began to harbor a sense of anticipation towards Wang Teng, hoping that he could be the one to save him. He no longer wanted to be enemies with Han Zhu. A woman wasn’t important. Han Zhu was the friend he had chosen. As long as the other could save him, that was enough. Swoosh! Just then, a breaking sound suddenly echoed. “Who?” Wang Teng’s gaze focused, looking towards another opening in the cave. A figure dashed out from a deep cave, reaching out towards Guizang Yan. Both Wang Teng and his clone immediately rushed towards Guizang Yan. It was inappropriate for the main body to use space techniques so only the clone could go for the rescue. In an instant, the clone vanished in place, activating the Space Flash. In the next moment, he reappeared, stepping out from within the spatial realm. At this moment, the figure had just reached Guizang Yan when the clone positioned itself in front, throwing a punch directly at the approaching silhouette. Clearly caught off guard by the clone’s unexpected appearance, the opponent’s pupils contracted. Unable to retreat in time, he could only retaliate with a palm, forcefully meeting the clone’s punch. Boom! A terrifying force swept out, causing the figure to change complexion as he was sent flying. “It’s you!” Wang Teng looked at the newcomer in astonishment. This person was the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan! Guizang Yan felt a mix of surprise and anger. If he had truly fallen into the hands of the Heishan Royal Clan, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan stared at Wang Teng’s clone, a cold gleam passing through his eyes. “You dare to block me.” “So what? I’m not done with educating him. It’s not your turn yet.” Wang Teng’s clone looked at the opponent, speaking calmly. Guizang Yan:… At that moment, he didn’t know whether to be happy or cry. Councilor Wang Teng saved him, only because he hadn’t finished teaching a lesson. Damn it, he was too inhumane! “Don’t think that just because you’re a member of the Academy Arbitration Association, 1 won’t dare to do anything to you!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan said coldly. “You’re welcome to try.” Wang Teng’s clone chuckled. “I don’t need to use my identity as a member of the Academy Arbitration Association to suppress others. I can easily overpower you with just one hand.” “Overpower me with one hand!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan’s expression darkened, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. “Ignorant!” Boom! In the next moment, he transformed into a residual shadow, charging recklessly towards Wang Teng. He reached into the void, and a long spear instantly appeared. A dazzling golden force condensed on the spear, forming a threatening spear glow aimed at Wang Teng’s clone. The clone’s pupils contracted, sensing a deadly threat. This youth from the Heishan Royal Clan was indeed extremely powerful, far surpassing the pinnacle of the cosmos stage. “Hmph!” He coldly snorted, and a war sword appeared in his hand, with an even more dazzling golden force gathering, forming a sword radiance! The Twelve Swords of Tyrant! Boom! The sword radiance instantly slashed out, confronting the incoming spear glow. Majestic! Overpowering! An immensely powerful domain erupted, colliding with the domain contained within the spear glow. “Hmm!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan’s expression slightly changed. He hadn’t expected Wang Teng’s strength to be so formidable, able to withstand his spear. Boom! In an instant, two domains completely exploded, leaving both parties unharmed. However, the sword glow and the spear glow that shot out left deep marks on the surrounding rock walls, startling to behold. Guizang Yan’s pupils constricted when he saw this. Too powerful! Whether it was this Councilor Wang Teng or the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan, both were extraordinarily strong. Considering their previous attacks had only left shallow marks on the rock walls, the depth of the imprints now showcased a significant difference in power. Especially Councilor Wang Teng. During their earlier confrontation, he hadn’t displayed such strength Evidently, he hadn’t used his full power. Guizang Yan felt a bitter taste in his mouth, realizing the vast gap between him and the others. Guizang Zhu and the others were also shocked and increasingly fearful. They quickly helped Guizang Yan up, retreating to the side. Just moments ago, Guizang Yan had nearly been captured, leaving them all with lingering fear. “Is this all you’ve got?” Wang Teng’s clone spoke calmly at this moment, seemingly not placing much importance on the youth from the Heishan Royal Clan. “Interesting!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan gazed at Wang Teng with flickering eyes. “The Stellar Academies are truly places that nurture geniuses, with a well-deserved reputation.” “Thanks for the praise!” Wang Teng’s clone replied. “Hmph, do you think I’m praising you?” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan suddenly lowered his head and burst into laughter. The laughter sounded somewhat… mad! Wang Teng’s clone furrowed his brow and said, “Stop laughing. You look quite foolish, you know? Did your brain get caught in a door when you were a child?” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan visibly stiffened, his entire body feeling a bit uncomfortable. What did he mean by his brain getting caught in the door? This was the first time someone dared to speak to him like this. He suddenly lifted his head, his icy gaze seeming to regard a dead man. “You’ve succeeded in provoking me. Initially, I only intended to take away that warrior from the Guizang family and didn’t plan on a massacre. But now, it seems I’ll send you on your way.” “And all of you will die along with him!” “Where did this brat come from? He keeps talking about killing people. I think you need a good beating.” Wang Teng’s clone remarked. Everyone:… The corners of Guizang Yan’s mouth twitched. At this moment, he couldn’t help but admire Councilor Wang Teng. He referred to the prodigy from the Heishan Royal Clan as a brat. That was something. “Die!” The youth from the Heishan Royal Clan erupted in fury, shouting coldly. A formidable force surged from within him, crashing towards Wang Teng. Boom! He once again attacked with the long spear, a powerful Metal Domain bursting forth, reaching the eighth rank. It was no less impressive than Wang Teng’s domain power, leaving everyone in disbelief. Boom! Boom! Boom! The two figures seemed to transform into dazzling orbs of light, engaging in a fierce battle within the cave. The people around were horrified, retreating in succession, not daring to approach even a bit..
