621 Choosing Your Path

Tentacles' expression changed, his jaw dropped opened and he said in a shocked voice: "Unmovable Mountain, Invading Fire..."

Perhaps they were the ones hired by the Shadows Group?

It should not be the case. These two were people from the Saint level Star Clan.

Was this a surprising turn of events or was this all planned by the Shadows Group?

"Heh, there's still people who recognize us." Invading Fire smiled slightly. "Since you know who we are, then be good and take the initiative to quit. Don't waste our time."

With a whole body of metallic muscles, Unmovable Mountain did not speak. His eyes only locked onto Wang Zheng. There was something wrong. Usually the people in front of him would become incredibly uncomfortable. To describe them as uneasy would be light, but this black masked guy was different. He was still full of confidence? And, his gaze was quite annoying!

Wang Zheng was only looking at Unmovable Mountain with curiosity. This guy's body could actually metalize. This was quite peculiar. Metal ability X users were quite rare and this guy in front of his eyes was a little too exaggerated.

"Bro, are you painted in a metallic color or is that ability X? It shouldn't be a cultivation technique, right?"

Upon hearing Wang Zheng speak, Tentacles who was originally still guessing if they were the muscles of the Shadows Group almost hyperventilated. He wanted to faint. My Brother Charcoal, even though you might be dead today, but aren't you being….. a little too anxious for death?

Both Unmovable Mountain and Invading Fire were generals from the Saint level Star Clan. Their fame came not from the strength of the Star Clan but from the big battles they fought. It was fame that was gained though fierce victories.

"Brother Charcoal, be careful. They are powerful players from the saint level."

Tentacles coughed and moved. Who knew, this might be the Shadows Group's arrangement. He had better stand further away….. Anyway, based on his ability, he could not help much.

A body that was covered in flames for a long time, and its energy was in a cycle of endless generation. If he did not guess wrongly, this type of ability could provide immunity to flames of a certain strength and the lava environment to him might not be harmful and even be a type of support.

Unmovable Mountain, whose eyes were locked onto Wang Zheng, suddenly stepped out. His whole body rumbled loudly and the metallic color on his body turned darker.

Unmovable Mountain – his most unique characteristic was that his body could strengthen to the degree where he was immune to physical attacks. People who fought with him were basically finished within 10 moves.

Tentacles blinked, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. To be killed once like this was nothing. The punishment for the Volcano Trial was also not heavy.

However, why was Black Charcoal not evading? The first reaction of normal people seeing a metallic man rushing towards them would be to evade first before retaliating. However, Wang Zheng's first reaction was not to retreat but to move forward in huge steps and rush in with a punch!

Invading Fire was also stunned. That Black Steel masked noob actually dared to advance? There was a slight sarcastic smile on his face. Tsk, Acolyte level, it was true that when the forest was big, there would be all kinds of birds.

Even on the Saint level, not many dared to clash directly with Unmovable Mountain. It was like a tiny sheep trying to run into a moving truck.

Unmovable was also being too oppressive. He actually used his full power to handle this small thing from the Acolyte level.

However, instantly, the smile on his face froze.

Hong…..

The skies shook and the ground moved.

It was not an earthquake and there would not be any flames exploding from underground. It was the shockwave from the head-on clash between Wang Zheng and Unmovable Mountain!

Both parties transferred the power towards the ground and the ground kept shaking.

On the Acolyte level, there actually was someone who could block the Unmovable Mountain!

Enthusiasm burst from within Unmovable Mountain's eyes. He shook his two fists and shortly, the metallic glow throughout his body surged towards his right arm in waves.

Full Metal Iron Fist!

At that crucial moment, Wang Zheng still chose not to evade, rather he faced the challenge directly with interest.

Wang Zheng had also felt the atmosphere of his opponent to give his all without second thoughts. This Unmovable Mountain's battle style suited his tastes.

His right fist burned, fire ability X exploded, facing the impact head on!

But, at the instant the two fists were to meet, Wang Zheng's mind suddenly changed...

He had an eureka moment and at that instant, his fist changed to a finger, the spreading flames also retreated to his finger in an instant.

Where else would it be more suitable but to test this move than here!

Atomic Burst Finger Style!

Pa!

There was a loud sound and Wang Zheng jumped away suddenly, cradling his finger. Shit, this was painful... the 10 fingers were truly connected to the heart. That was not a lie. This Atomic Burst tricked him.

"It really is not paint but metalized. Amazing."

Wang Zheng flung his finger. F*ck, it was really painful! He originally wanted to try out the Atomic Burst on a strong opponent. Obviously, he failed and the price was that his finger had almost fractured. It was now swollen.

Unmovable Mountain's expression did not change and glared at Wang Zheng.

"Continue?"

Wang Zheng flung his hand. Simple swelling did not affect his combat power.

Invading Fire and Tentacles on the other hand were stunned...

Unmovable Mountain's Full Metal Iron Fist and his opponent got away with only a swollen finger?

What the f*ck, even if it was an actual tanker, the tanker would be smashed flat?

Invading Fire's eyes turned cold. This time, it was obvious that he and Unmovable Mountain were not here for the 32 Point Blade Technique, compared to their usual 32 Point Cultivation Techniques could be seen as relatively weak.

Fighting Black Charcoal was actually a big business deal. Both he and Unmovable Mountain had a Snatch Card on them. As long as they defeated their opponents, they could forcibly snatch the opponent's techniques, the qualification to be a Son of Saint and even the understanding of cultivation techniques. These would be sealed into the card as a different kind of cultivation technique.

If Black Charcoal's strength was average, they could directly use the Snatch Card twice and steal his qualifications to be a Son of Saint.

If he was very strong, then they would force out Black Charcoal's trump card.

Invading Fire's eyes flashed. Just as he was going to join the battle, Unmovable Mountain suddenly retreated a step, turned and walked away.

Invading Fire was stunned. Unmovable Mountain had never retreated at the last minute. Besides, the Shadows Group had given them great benefits, to retreat at this moment; they would not only have to return the deposit, but still had to pay out double the amount as compensation. This was the rules in the industry. If they broke the rules, it was equivalent to breaking their income flow.

"Hey, Mountain? Ahem... Kid, you remember this." Invading Fire did not pursue the battle. Unmovable Mountain was being a little strange and he needed to take a look. He left with a warning and chased after Unmovable Mountain.

Tentacles' jaw dropped open. Just like that and nothing would happen?

Even though he knew that Black Charcoal was very strong, but that was also only at the Acolyte level. No matter what, Unmovable Mountain was also a famous powerful player on the Saint level. Even if Black Charcoal was very strong, they should have to fight at least 10 rounds right? Why did he leave after only 2 clashes? Was this still a powerful player? Where was his integrity? Where was his pride?

Perhaps they were not sent by the Shadows Group? Tentacles was confused.

"Let's go." Wang Zheng rubbed his finger. That type of swollen painful feeling was very realistic. The World of Saints really had a good stimulator. The uncomfortable feeling brought by swollen pain was no different than that in reality.

Additionally, Wang Zheng blinked and suddenly laughed. "Tentacles, these two people, are they right in the head? Obviously we have won, why would they run ahead of us?"

"Er…..it seems so, yes." Tentacles blinked. Hello, please stop focusing on such a strange point! He was still immersed in the fact that a finger defeated the Unmovable Mountain's Full Metal Iron Fist.

The footsteps of both Unmovable Mountain and Invading Fire stopped. Invading Fire was a little angry. "Unmovable, what the f**k are you doing. I have not attacked yet. This will affect our reputation!"

What was wrong with his old partner? Why did he retreat when they had just started. Coming down from the saint level to do such things was a little degrading but they were doing this for the sake of money. This was too unprofessional.

Unmovable Mountain turned and looked at Invading Fire. His tense muscles relaxed. Instantly, his metalized right arm suddenly shook violently...

Unmovable Mountain's eyes had a nasty look. "My arm is wasted. The cultivation technique dissipated."

Invading Fire was stunned. This…. How was this possible…..

At this moment, a shadow appeared in front of the 2 persons. "Sirs, you guys are not holding up the end of our deal. Taking our money yet not doing what was promised. Do you think that our Shadows Group is easy to bully?"

Invading Fire looked coldly at this person. As he wanted to speak, beside him, Unmovable Mountain shook his head. "We failed. According to rules, we will return double the price. The Snatch Card, we'll return to you. Invading Fire, let's go!"

Unmovable Mountain and Invading Fire left without hesitation. Obviously they did not want others to see through them. Since they already paid the compensation, there was naturally no need to explain. This d*mn Shadows Group, giving so little money for such a troublesome case!

Even though the two persons' test had failed, but the plan had to continue. Because this was actually just the first wave, it did not affect the ultimate plan.

Wang Zheng and Tentacles continued forward. On their journey, they were met with many scuffles and the opponents all had some skills. The attraction of 32 Point Blade Technique was still great. It could sell for a good price even if not used personally. On the Acolyte level, the 32 Point cultivation technique was still quite rare.

Wang Zheng was very happy, but Tentacles was very sad...

This Black Charcoal actually ran over these type of dangerous difficult obstacles so easily. Whether it was generals from the Star Clan, assassins from the Snake Clan, the assistant hall leader of the Unlimited Hall...

Such a lineup and they all only slightly blocked Black Charcoal's ongoing momentum, and then they were KO-ed by him!

It was really a KO!

Tentacles finally understood. These blockers were 80-90% related to the Shadows Group. Except, he did not understand why the Shadows Group expended such effort to handle one Black Charcoal from the Acolyte level. What was their goal? The Son of Saint qualifications? Was it really worth it?

Wang Zheng played around until he was very happy. The opponents he met were all very interesting. To be honest, they expanded his horizons very much. "Tentacles, this time round, the trial you chose is very interesting. I would even dare to name myself the Mocking Monarch. I really seem to attract hatred naturally."

Tentacles was shocked and his heart beat loudly. He laughed dryly. "The 32 Point Blade Technique is still quite attractive it seems."

At this moment, a split in the road appeared.

Wang Zheng's eyes swept the surroundings and smiled. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and nodded towards Tentacles : "Ah, there's a split. Let's go our separate ways to scout and save time. We'll contact each other later. You can choose first."

Tentacles knew he had to make a decision. In the end, he really did not have the courage.

Watching as Tentacle's shadow disappear on the road, Wang Zheng laughed lightly and shook his head. He headed for the other path.
