“Pant…”

Wang Teng took a few deep breaths before he overcame the pain of getting chopped into pieces.

This was the first time he had experienced death so closely. Besides, it wasn’t a normal death. He didn’t know if he was fortunate or not.

“Haha, it feels good, right?” Round Ball appeared in front of him and sniggered.

“It felt really… amazing!” Wang Teng rolled his eyes.

This fellow is the worst. It’s gloating right now!

“Hahaha!” Round Ball saw Wang Teng’s frustrated expression and burst into laughter.

Wang Teng’s face wrinkled as he felt depressed. He then changed the topic. “What was that star beast? It’s so powerful!”

He had never seen that green bird before and didn’t know about its existence. He couldn’t even sense how strong it was.

“That was the Divine Tempest Bird!” Round Ball put away its smile and answered, “It’s an extremely powerful wind-type Universe Behemoth. It is capable of traversing through space, and an adult would have the strength of the divine level.”

“Divine Tempest Bird! Divine level!” Wang Teng gasped.

For star beasts, the emperor level was equivalent to the planetary stage of martial warriors. The imperial level was further divided into three, namely low, mid and high tiers. These were equivalent to the celestial stage, heaven stage, and universe stage, respectively.

The Black Wind Vulture King was a first-level imperial-level star beast, which was equivalent to a first-level celestial-stage martial warrior.

Divine-level star beasts were stronger than universe-stage martial warriors. They were at least equivalent to an eternal-stage martial warrior in strength.

He didn’t expect that green bird to be at the eternal stage!

That was unbelievable!

No wonder it was so powerful!

“You’re lucky that you didn’t encounter it in the real world.” Round Ball joked.

“Had I encountered it in reality, I’d have run away. Why would I court death?” Wang Teng knew what Round Ball was referring to and shook his head. He then laughed again. “But Xiong Dali and the rest of them met tragic ends. They died immediately and were forced to leave the virtual universe.”

“They are unlucky to have met a reckless teammate like you.” Round Ball laughed.

“Hey, at least I helped them to hunt the Black Wind Vultures. Without me, they would have died when they faced the king.” Wang Teng grunted in dissatisfaction.

Was he tempting fate?

He was trying to determine if he had any chance of survival when facing a powerful being. Even though the answer was no, at least he knew now!

If he died without trying, he wouldn’t be any different from an anchovy.

If he didn’t tempt fate… Bah, if he wasn’t this fearless and risked his life to try, he couldn’t have gained anything.

A smile appeared on Wang Teng’s face when he thought about the attribute bubbles that dropped when the Divine Tempest Bird attacked him.

He was a professional in collecting attribute bubbles!

Even if he was on the verge of death, he would still seize the opportunity to pick more bubbles.

Constellation Force (Wind)*28000

Divine-Level Wind Talent*10

Tempest Domain*50

…

Wang Teng’s eyes flashed with excitement. Although there were only three attribute bubbles, he was overjoyed when he saw the contents.

The 28000 points of constellation wind Force allowed him to advance to the fourth level of the planetary stage!

Constellation Wind Force: 600/40000 (planetary stage fourth level)

Wang Teng was caught off guard that his wind Force had advanced so fast. However, this wasn’t the thing that made him the happiest. It was the other two attribute bubbles.

Divine-Level Wind Talent!

As the attribute bubble merged into Wang Teng’s body, he could feel an incredible change in his talents. His wind talent advanced rapidly, leapfrogging and reaching an extremely high level.

After the emperor level was the imperial level, and after that came the divine level!

Now, Wang Teng’s wind talent had jumped from the emperor level to the divine level. It was such a huge leap that even Wang Teng felt that it was unreal.

Divine-Level Wind Talent: 10/50000

Wang Teng immediately felt that he was more sensitive toward the wind Force and that his affinity with it had reached an incredible level.

He was like a divine being in the wind. As long as he stood there, boundless wind Force would flow toward him continuously.

He finally realized the talent of the Divine Tempest Bird. Although there was still a gap between them, it was no longer insurmountable.

Since they were both at the divine level, they could now be considered to be standing on the same level. If he faced it again, the situation where he could not control the wind Force would not repeat.

If they were in the same area, the wind Force would be split between them if there were no other wind-type star beasts.

Divine Tempest Bird would control around 70% of the wind Force while he would control the remaining 30%!

Wang Teng immersed himself in the thrills of the divine-level wind talent before controlling himself. He was in a crowded place, and it wasn’t the right venue to display that kind of talent.

However, Round Ball had noticed this terrifying change and was dumbfounded, “You, You…”

It couldn’t say anything else.

“Why are you so excited?” Wang Teng asked.

Round Ball took a deep breath and forced itself to calm down before asking, “What was that? All the wind Force was flowing towards you. It was like the wind Force was worshipping you like their king.”

“Was it? Why didn’t I feel it?” Wang Teng pretended to be stupid.

“Don’t feign ignorance. I’ve only seen that happen to eternal-stage martial warriors. That phenomenon only happens with divine-level talents.” Round Ball was in hysteria as he leaned toward Wang Teng and stared straight into his eyes.

It was so shocked that it could hardly believe what it had just seen. If it wasn’t this close, it would have dismissed it as a hallucination.

Divine-level talent!

Anyone who had a divine-level talent had the possibility of advancing to the eternal stage, or an even higher stage!

Wang Teng actually had such a talent!

But why didn’t it show up before? Had he been hiding it? Or did he, by some opportunity that it didn’t know, advance his talent to the divine level!

The second scenario was almost impossible. No one had ever had such an opportunity in the virtual universe, but it was too much of a coincidence!

As soon as the Divine Tempest Bird with the divine-level talent appeared, Wang Teng obtained a divine-level talent. How could it not make a connection between the two?

“Oh, so I have a divine-level talent? No wonder I always thought that I’m a genius. I’m so talented!” Wang Teng began to fool around. He acted like he had this talent from the beginning and that he didn’t know how high of a level it was.

Round Ball: …
