Chapter 2379 Attention From The Higher-Ups In The Virtual Universe! The Interceptor! (2)

Heishan Gan's injuries were severe. His heart was pierced, a wound fatal and not easily mended.

Within the medical recovery pod, rare and precious spirit medicines were deployed, their worth far exceeding 300 Chaos Coins.

Reflecting on the 600 Chaos Coins that the boy had knocked away from him, even this eternal-stage ruler felt an acute pang of regret.

Not only that, there was also an eternal-level sword!

He had s.n.a.t.c.hed that battle sword from another eternal-stage martial warrior. The sword had yet to be fenced, and now it was a bargain for the boy.

He had never suffered such a loss before!

Crack! Crack!

He clenched his fist tightly and his face contorted involuntarily into a grimace of fury.

No one here could see his face so there was no need for him to hide his emotions here.

An invisible aura permeated the surroundings, lingering, threatening to erupt if not for his concern over Heishan Gan's recovery.

Suddenly, due to the force of his clenched fist, a sharp pain shot through his palm, causing him to furrow his brow.

"What power is this?"

Elder Hui stared at his palm, where a deep sword wound marked the flesh. Strange tiny sword Qi flowed within, preventing the wound from healing.

Had he not controlled his blood flow with his Force, the blood in his palm would have dried up long ago.

"Why does this feel somewhat like the power of time?!" Elder Hui froze, his eyes widening slightly as if realizing something unbelievable. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could that boy possibly wield the power of time!"

"This is forbidden power!"

He quickly dismissed his speculation, refusing to believe that w.a.n.g Teng could wield the power of time.

At Elder Hui's level, he could already touch the power of time, and he wasn't unfamiliar with it. Yet, this was the first time he had encountered someone who could wield the power of time as a battle technique. Hence, he hesitated to confirm that the power within his palm was the power of time, even reluctant to believe it.

w.a.n.g Teng's talent had already unsettled him greatly. If w.a.n.g Teng also possessed the power of time, he would truly be restless day and night.

He never expected this trip to the Five Burial Stars would lead to the emergence of such a phenomenon.

What should have been a foolproof operation had not only failed to yield any gains but also left Heishan Gan severely injured and unconscious. Moreover, he had stirred enmity with such a creature. It seemed like a losing proposition from every angle.

"No, he must be eliminated as soon as possible." Elder Hui silently resolved, about to contact the family forces to besiege w.a.n.g Teng.

Just then, Heishan Gan stirred. Slowly opening his eyes, his face pale with a hint of fear as if still immersed in the fear of being dominated by w.a.n.g Teng.

Elder Hui couldn't help but furrow his brows when he saw this scene. He sighed in his heart.

The blow to Heishan Gan this time was too great!

If his mindset couldn't be reversed and his confidence restored, this genius might be ruined.

Buzz!

The medical pod opened, and Heishan Gan slowly sat up. Finally realizing where he was, he began to calm down. However, deep within his eyes, a strong resentment lingered, impossible to dissipate.

"How do you feel?" Elder Hui asked casually, masking his emotions.

"Much better," Heishan Gan replied, still clutching his chest in pain. Despite that, he shook his head and thanked Elder Hui, saying, "Elder Hui, I owe you my grat.i.tude for saving me this time."

"No need for such sentiments," Elder Hui shook his head and said, "You must understand, you are the genius of our Heishan Royal Clan. No matter what, you must stay alive. Only by staying alive do you have the chance to surpa.s.s him."

"Yes!" Heishan Gan gritted his teeth, nodding heavily. There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, yet he hesitated, "But my talent"

"Forget about the Five-Element Divine Physique. We will find a talent that far surpa.s.ses it," Elder Hui said rea.s.suringly. "This universe is vast, and there are all kinds of talents. There must be one that can surpa.s.s that person."

Though Heishan Gan knew Elder Hui was trying to console him, a glimmer of hope still flickered in his heart. Perhaps perhaps it truly existed!

That person's talent was just too strong, strong enough to make him feel somewhat hopeless. He could only cling to this hope. He must find a talent. Otherwise, he would have no chance of surpa.s.sing that person.

Beep, beep, beep

As the two of them were talking, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the s.p.a.cecraft.

"Hmm?" Elder Hui furrowed his brows. Just when he was feeling irritated, who dared to disturb him like this?

The panoramic simulation of the s.p.a.cecraft activated, revealing a figure blocking their path ahead.

The figure wore battle armor, appearing to be in his thirties, with a stoic expression, an unkempt beard, and partially gray hair and beard, giving him a weathered look.

His armor was marked with various signs of wear and tear, appearing heavily damaged, yet he seemed reluctant to take it off, wearing it nonetheless.

On his back, he carried an inconspicuous grayish-white stick, its material indiscernible but emanating a cold metallic sheen, indicating it was crafted from some highly unique metal.
