Earth Element Talent Unlocked

"No!!"

The man screamed loudly, frantically circulating the Primal Force within him and condensing an earth-yellow shield.

"Earth Essence Shield!"

But before the shield could fully form, Wang Teng's Diamond Dust Little Fists... uh, no—his Illusory Ice Fist had already come smashing down.

Boom!

Crack!

The battle shield shattered instantly, and the fist struck the man's face—

Passive skill activated... Face Breaker!

The man was sent flying by a single punch.

There were no fifty-cent special effects, only bone-piercing cold that invaded his head and froze it solid.

The man's miserable scream had barely begun before it stopped abruptly!

The terrified expression froze on his face as his body flew out and crashed onto the ground.

KO!!

It was a fatal blow. Wang Teng had used all the Ice Element Source Power within his Origin Core.

Though it was not much, it was enough to kill!

The opponent had been undone!

From the very beginning, the information he had possessed had been wrong.

Wang Teng was a Martial Warrior, not a Martial Apprentice.

Wang Teng had calculated against an unwary opponent, first launching a Sneak Attack with the strength of an Advanced Martial Apprentice, making the other man believe victory was already in his grasp.

As a result, in his carelessness, Wang Teng erupted with the strength of a Martial Warrior. He had no time to react; his arm was severed, and afterward his Battle Intent completely crumbled, leaving him with only one thought—to flee for his life.

Under such circumstances, he had not even brought out half his combat strength before Wang Teng's punch sent him to meet Yama.

The battle was over!

Wang Teng's heart pounded rapidly as he breathed faintly through his mouth.

"I killed a Martial Warrior!"

He was slightly dazed.

This was different from the Martial Warrior he had killed on Baoan Mountain last time.

That man had already been seriously injured, and Wang Teng had not killed him head-on. He had used a Rune Gun instead.

That Martial Warrior had never expected Wang Teng to be far faster than an ordinary Advanced Martial Apprentice, causing his Sneak Attack to fail.

Nor had he expected a high school student like Wang Teng to be hiding a Rune Gun on him.

It was only due to all those reasons that Wang Teng had easily shot a Martial Warrior to death with just a few bullets.

"So I'm actually some old shady bastard?"

"How could that be!"

Wang Teng hurriedly shook his head.

He picked up the battle sword, walked over, hesitated briefly, then drove the blade into the man's heart.

Although the Ice Element Source Power had frozen the man's brain, adding a sword through the heart just in case was safer.

Several Attribute Bubbles dropped beside the corpse.

Elementary Earth Talent*12

Earth Element Source Power*3

Yellow Earth Skill*1

Spirit*1

Strength*10

"An Earth Element Martial Warrior!"

"Looks like I'll be gaining another talent attribute. On the road to All Attributes, I'm truly getting farther and farther!"

Wang Teng picked up the Attribute Bubbles. His Spirit Attribute increased by 1, leaving his mind utterly clear. At the same time, the cultivation method for "Yellow Earth Skill" immediately appeared in his memories.

His body also became an earth-element-affinity physique, and he instantly sensed the Earth Element Source Power drifting between heaven and earth.

Earth Element Source Power flowed into Wang Teng's body, while the 3 points of Earth Element Source Power he had picked up also fused within him.

After circulating through his Four Limbs and Bones according to the operating method of "Yellow Earth Skill," it entered his Origin Core.

The balance within the Origin Core was shattered in an instant.

The Ice Element Source Power stirred faintly.

However, that mysterious power appeared once more and soothed it.

The three slowly revolved, returning to balance once again and gradually forming a tripod stance.

"No combat skills dropped this time?"

Wang Teng looked at the Attribute Panel with some regret.

"Still, 'Yellow Earth Skill' includes a defensive combat skill—Earth Essence Shield!"

"The defensive shield that man used earlier should have been this combat skill, right? I blew it apart before he could fully deploy it. I wonder how strong its defense is?"

"I'll have to find an opportunity to test it."

Wang Teng was quite satisfied with the Earth Essence Shield.

He did not lack offensive combat skills now, but he had no defensive means. The Earth Essence Shield perfectly made up for his weakness.

"A bit too much Spirit Attribute dropped this time—one whole point. Could it be because I attacked his head?"

"Should I get a brick, then? So I can specialize in smashing people in the back of the head from now on?"

Thinking of this, Wang Teng suddenly felt it had great potential.

Those thoughts merely flashed through his mind before his gaze fell upon the corpse before him.

It was time to use the Divine Level skill—Corpse Looting Art!

In the end, aside from a cellphone, the man's pockets were completely empty. There was not even a trace of a Rune Weapon.

"Damn, he was poor!"

How could Wang Teng have known that this man really was poor!

He had only become a Martial Warrior not long ago and had spent a huge sum to buy a copy of "Yellow Earth Skill." He simply had no money left to purchase combat skills or weapons.

Otherwise, why would he have hidden things from the other teammates he had mentioned and come alone to capture Wang Teng?

He had merely wanted to swallow the belongings of those two Martial Warriors for himself.

Wang Teng did not waste any more time. Fire Source Power directly ignited the corpse, burning it into ashes.

He watched the flames gradually die out before him, feeling somewhat dazed.

In less than a month, his hands had already been stained with several lives.

Though he had never provoked trouble each time, only fought back passively—otherwise, the one losing his life would have been him.

But he had still killed them in the end.

His hands were the ones stained with blood.

"Ah, sin!"

Wang Teng sighed. He felt that he had originally been pure and kind, but the world had forced a good man into prostitution!

The fire went out completely.

When the sea wind blew, the remaining ashes scattered away with it.

He suddenly realized—

Fire Source Power was simply an essential household item for murder and arson!

Wang Teng held the Martial Warrior's cellphone in his hand, his eyes narrowing slightly as he suddenly exerted force.

Crack!

An expensive Fruit phone was instantly crushed in his grip.

With a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, he tossed it into the sea. With a plop, it sank beneath the water.

Then he took out the two cellphones he had gotten earlier from the car and did the same, sending them into the sea as well.

If they wanted to find them, they could go fish them out of the ocean!

This incident had also sounded an alarm for Wang Teng. In modern society, one had to be careful around technological products.

Wang Teng drove away. Fortunately, it was already very late, and no other vehicles passed by.

Otherwise, if anyone had witnessed that scene of murder and corpse disposal, they would probably have been scared out of their wits.

After returning home, Wang Teng took out the items he had looted from the two Martial Warriors earlier and carefully inspected them one by one. Only after confirming there were no tracking devices did he let out a sigh of relief.

"I shouldn't bring these things home in the future, lest I drag Mom and Dad into the blood feuds of Martial Warriors."

"They aren't Martial Warriors. It's best if they never come into contact with this stuff."

"No wonder ordinary people know so little about the world of Martial Warriors. Unless you truly step into it, you really are people from two different worlds."

Wang Teng felt somewhat emotional as he thought to himself.

"In that case, I can only rent a place outside. I'll go take a look tomorrow."

At that moment, Li Xiumei's voice came from downstairs.

"Son, come have a late-night snack!"

"o(╯□╰)o Good thing I practice martial arts. Otherwise, if I kept eating like this, who knows how fat I'd get~"
