Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

It was a pity that this was a game that could never end. Heaven had to reconsider his options once again. At night, it was even more difficult to draw the line between a prey and a predator. And Wang Zheng knew, this was the time for him to counterattack.

In the day, it was too difficult for him to do so as he would fall into Heaven’s trap by accident, After all, this was the Earth Grade’s standard and it was unquestionable. But when the night fell, everything changed. He believed that he had a definite advantage over Heaven with regards to his field of vision.

Adapting to darkness, was one of the compulsory classes Wang Zheng had taken during his cube training. Most people could be accustomed to the dark, but there was a limit to it, especially when one’s speed and movement frequency had risen to a certain level.

Wang Zheng did not intend to continue being chased by Heaven. When night came, it was Wang Zheng’s turf.

Heaven frowned. The opponent had stopped, could this possibly meant that he was up for the next round of battle? action

Heaven did not intend to fight each other at night, as he wanted to conserve his energy. It was more suitable to do so in the day, but he still had his eyes on Wang Zheng, not letting him escape from his control.

Of course, if Wang Zheng had wanted to carry on the chase through the night, he wouldn’t mind either. For he did not believe that someone of the Spirit Level would have better endurance abilities than him. If he needed to rest, his opponent would need to rest even more.

The two of them confronted each other in silence, but Heaven had sensed something was amiss. From Wang Zheng’s breath, he could tell that there was an intention to attack. Hence, he could not relax, for Wang Zheng might have been thinking of launching a counterattack?

If this was the case, Heaven should be even more alert. His broken hand was the most painful lesson for him.

Although it seemed like both of them were taking a short breather, Wang Zheng was moving slowly, but in reality they were still on their toes and were ready to continue anytime.

Such an intense atmosphere was the most intimidating. The wait was even more mentally draining than having a quick showdown.

Heaven felt that Wang Zheng was constantly changing his position and using high frequency steps, and the distance between both of them was decreasing.

Heaven was stunned, and it seemed like Wang Zheng was confident in fighting with him at night. However, it was a pity. Engaging in night battles was a simple feat for someone from the Earth Grade, and anyone who had attained that level would not show any obvious flaws.

Heaven suddenly moved forward, and charged towards Wang Zheng as fast as a nightingale. And Wang Zheng swerved away in an instant, widening the gap between the both of them. In the night, his dodging jumps were even more swift and violent. After chasing for half an hour, Heaven had realized that it was extremely difficult for him to catch up with Wang Zheng during nighttime.

And hence he had to slow down his pace. After a quick assessment of the current situation, he was convinced that he had to wait till daytime for his chance. He was not afraid of Wang Zheng fleeing, as this was a battle of life and death. If he had fled, Heaven would have turned to find other people, but others would not be that competitive and worthy of an opponent like Wang Zheng.

Having sorted out his plans, Heaven sat on the tree and shut his eyes, he wanted to see if Wang Zheng would dare to come forth.

But just as he was still contemplating, a black shadow suddenly flew past. Heaven swiftly avoided it, and a ‘dong’ sound could be heard. The tree behind him was shot through.

It was a dart...

Wang Zheng was ecstatic. He was not only focused on running, this place was his natural hunting ground and he could casually make a simple dart on the spot. Darts made from wood, or even steel, would not be fatal to Earth Grade killers. Instead, it was a matter of who was the one throwing the dart. Wang Zheng did not intend to kill Heaven in one move, and he was just trying to torment him further.

Zing.... Zing zing.....

The darts shot across the night skies one after another. Heaven was boiling with anger, and his shoulder was scratched by the dart accidentally as well.

This bastard, how could he combine his wind affinity ability X with his darts to increase the damage! If Heaven did not defend himself properly, he would have gotten injured as well, as he was not made of steel after all.

Heaven chased after Wang Zheng furiously, and Wang Zheng fled in an instant. It was easy for him to make the darts. He was surrounded by trees in the jungle, hence he could make one quickly after making some modifications, and the next moment one dart could be seen chasing right after Heaven.

This time, it was a dart imbued with fire ability X.

The flaming dart was especially glaring in the dark, and Heaven hit it away with a punch.

“Wang Zheng, don’t run away if you have the ability!”

“My dear brother, how can you be so naive. You’re letting me, someone who has yet to graduate from Huang Class 7, to fight with you, an Earth Grade expert? Tsk tsk, do you think I’m foolish, or are you the foolish one?”

Wang Zheng couldn’t contain his laughter, it was clear from his words that he was elated and he was enjoying this battle. But on the other hand, Heaven wasn’t feeling that great. Being made fun of by a junior, this was totally embarrassing.

Well, he did not believe it either. Since Wang Zheng had decided not to take a rest, then no one would rest from now on.

Heaven had his target locked on and he charged forward. The darkness did not have much impact on Heaven, but to Wang Zheng, it had no impact at all. It was different compared to daytime, as Wang Zheng could counterattack while running, and the darts flew towards Heaven consecutively. The darts took on various forms, one moment it was one with wind affinity, if not it would be one with flames. It was extremely disruptive to Heaven’s view and he had to do something about it. These darts could cause harm to him, but he was enraged as they kept interrupting him and was seemingly endless. Heaven had regretted picking this location. Just how was it possible for this place to have so many trees for Wang Zheng to make those darts.

But Heaven was definitely not going to let this go so easily. He was controlling his stamina and pace, in hopes of tiring Wang Zheng out. Wang Zheng was a young lad, and Heaven had wanted to see the extent of his stamina.

It was a long time since Heaven was this serious, it seemed like he had returned to his older days.

However, the truth was harsh. Both of them did not rest, and chased around for an entire night. The Titatitan Star took thirty standard hours to orbit around the center of the galaxy, and nighttime was extremely long. The two of them chased for another ten hours, and it was close to twenty hours of non-stop pursuit altogether.

Dawn had broken.

But Wang Zheng was still energetic. On the other hand, Heaven started to show signs of fatigue, but he did not understand Wang Zheng’s situation. Wang Zheng was contemplating in his mind that he could not move recklessly, as it would give Heaven an opportunity to attack the moment he did that. He needed to have 100% confidence to do so. Both of them were competing over one’s patience, as well as one’s cunningness, putting their lives on the line.

And this was a huge risk Wang Zheng was taking, if he had died, what would happen to Yan Xiaosu and the others?

So he had to remain calm and steady, he could do it!

The next day, Wang Zheng was a little more aggressive. Based on his keen observation of Heaven, he had concluded that there was completely no time to rest and decided to shower Heaven with a blast of his darts once again.

This was indeed a smart move for Wang Zheng to keep a safe distance from Heaven, and the accuracy of his darts was really insane. This had left Heaven speechless, had this kid trained with this weapon before? Even if there were no darts coming at him, he had to hide, there were no other options left.

Later on, Heaven was eventually pushed to his wits end. He could only make a shield for himself as his last line of defense, and minimise his energy consumption as much as possible.

But it was impossible for them to not confront each other, as he knew about this little brat’s plans. It was the first time he felt so helpless, at such a deserted place. It was too late for him to flee now, as Wang Zheng was following him closely. There were instances where Heaven had intentionally revealed his weak points, pretending to be worn out so that Wang Zheng could attack. But Wang Zheng wasn’t fooled by his actions at all, and instead, the darts were coming right at him. Towards the end, he started engaging in a battle of darts with Wang Zheng, but he gave up quickly. Heaven’s shooting technique and the accuracy of his darts could not be compared with that of Wang Zheng’s. Instead, he was ridiculed by Wang Zheng, and his movements were a little restricted with only one hand.

From the time Heaven entered the Elite Academy, till when he turned to the underworld after leaving due to undisclosed reasons, he had his own ways of doing things and was never this upset.

The final outcome would be his death if he could not win the battle, however this was a battle he could win and yet he failed to do so. What made things worse was the fact that it was all set up by himself, and the results were frustrating.

The second day passed, and the circumstances seemed to have changed. As the second night approaches, Heaven felt threatened. Although he had been in the underworld all these years, he was careful about his own conduct, as he was always putting his life on the line. It was only recently that he had indulged in liquor and tobacco. Initially, he did not feel much of a difference, but when he met a difficult opponent, any signs of weakness would be magnified significantly. And Heaven felt that Wang Zheng had already found out about this.

Breathe!

To make things worse, in the night, such subtle changes in pulse were not undetected by Wang Zheng. Heaven was really getting tired, but this wasn’t enough, the real deal was happening tonight.

Wang Zheng had intensified his attacks. The distance between them was gradually decreasing, but Wang Zheng still had no intentions of having a head-on confrontation. Well, Bonehead once said this, once you discover your enemies’ weakness, you must bite it immediately and never let go. The moment one lets go, is the moment one dies.

Wang Zheng was attacking Heaven ruthlessly, and Heaven’s physical and mental strength was already drastically depleting. Even his Earth Grade Ability X could not be put to use in this situation, and he could not understand why his poison Ability X was not working either. Wang Zheng was also equipped with wind affinity ability, and it was not that easy to suppress someone with the same ability. Comparing in terms of one’s physical combat technique, he was probably not on par with his opponent.

If this went on, he would really be in danger.

Someone who was like a poisonous snake and yet so patient, how could he be nurtured and trained from the Elite Academy?

He knew clearly what type of students were enrolled into the Elite Academy. Perhaps there were some that were really good, but it was rare to see someone with such combat qualities.
