In the end, Wang Teng departed alone.

He left An Lan on the Yuming Planet because he was worried about Lin Chuhan and the others. They would be safer with a heaven-stage martial warrior protecting them.

However, An Lan would be hiding in the dark. He wouldn’t appear unless absolutely necessary. This was Wang Teng’s special arrangement. It was the only way Lin Chuhan and the others could grow up quickly.

At the same time, Wang Teng left a clone beside Lin Chuhan. That way, he would be able to know immediately if she was in any danger.

He even gave Lin Chuhan and Dan Taixuan many items that could save their lives, such as dans, battle armor, weapons, etc.

He felt more at ease after planning layers and layers of protection.

At this moment, within the Flaming River spacecraft, Round Ball appeared in front of Wang Teng and started laughing.

“Are you done?” Wang Teng asked angrily with a black face.

“Wait, let me laugh for another three minutes. Hahaha…” Round Ball clutched its tummy and rolled around in mid-air, laughing uncontrollably.

“Is it very funny?” Wang Teng asked helplessly.

“I didn’t know that you had this side. You’re like an old father sending his daughter away from home,” Round Ball finally stopped and teased Wang Teng.

“Hmph, I’m doing this because the universe is very dangerous.” Wang Teng snorted.

“Alright, I won’t laugh at you anymore. You’re right, the universe is very dangerous. It’s better to be careful.” Round Ball paused for a moment. “But I’m surprised that you left An Lan there. Having a powerful subordinate beside you all the time isn’t a good thing.”

“I know.” Wang Teng nodded.

An Lan was powerful. Once he started fighting, Wang Teng wouldn’t have to do anything. This wasn’t good for his martial arts path!

Although he could upgrade himself by picking up attributes, he had to rely on himself during a battle.

It would be better if he had real combat experience. As a result, Wang Teng left An Lan behind.

“I’m glad you know.” Round Ball nodded. It realized that Wang Teng was more mature than it thought. Other people might love to have a formidable warrior beside them since it was safer.

“How far away are we from the No. 29 Defense Planet?” Wang Teng looked out into space.

“We’ll most likely arrive in two days.” Round Ball looked at the star chart and smiled. “Luckily, we’re in the Great Qian Empire. We can go to the nearest galaxy through the teleportation array on Yuming Planet before heading to the No. 29 Defense Planet. This shortened our trip. If not, we’d need half a month.”

“The League of Talents will be held half a year later. Our time is tight.” Wang Teng nodded.

This time, he decided to head to the No. 29 Defense Planet.

There were 136 defense planets in the Great Qian Empire. They were all used to fight against dark apparitions.

They were ranked based on their numbers. The greater the number, the more dangerous the planet.

The No. 29 Defense Planet they were heading to was many times more dangerous than the No. 4 Defense Planet Wang Teng stayed in.

Why did he choose to go there?

One reason was that he wanted to raise his ability. After all, the battlefield had the most attribute bubbles.

The second reason was that he wanted to gain some military exploits to raise his influence in the Great Qian Empire. This would help him in the future when he tackled the Parkers.

Boom!

Suddenly, the spacecraft trembled violently. A loud explosion was heard outside.

“Alert! Alert! Defense shield has shattered! Defense shield has shattered!”

“What? The defense shield has shattered?” Wang Teng was shocked.

The defense shield wasn’t damaged. It had shattered!

“What’s going on?” Wang Teng was shocked and furious.

“Enemy attack!” Round Ball’s expression changed slightly as it activated the panoramic simulation mode.

Some distance ahead, a giant figure was standing on a meteorite floating in the darkness. He looked like a deity and had an ice-blue Force glow shimmering around his body. A chill spread out from him, freezing the meteorite.

“Universe-stage martial warrior!” Wang Teng and Round Ball exclaimed at the same time.

This was a terrifying universe-stage martial warrior!

“Damn it. I didn’t expect a universe-stage martial warrior to attack us in the Great Qian Empire’s territory.” Round Ball frowned. There was panic in its eyes.

“Don’t waste time. Run!” Wang Teng interrupted it.

Round Ball increased the speed of the spacecraft and hurried away in the opposite direction.

“Hmph!”

A snort rang out like a thunderclap, echoing in space. Then, an ice-blue blade glow cut the darkness, heading straight for them. He didn’t use any battle techniques. It was just a simple blade glow.

However, the chill in the blade glow was astonishing. All matter was sealed in ice before it was disintegrated by the powerful Force.

“Wang Teng, we don’t have any time left. Abandon the ship, quick!” Round Ball started shouting. It was in a panic.

Wang Teng saw the blade glow and knew that the QY-E63 couldn’t evade it. He had started moving before Round Ball’s reminder.

“Let’s go!”

The space in front of him distorted, and he merged with it, disappearing on the spot.

Space Flash!

This was an innate skill of the Shadow Assassin Clan. Wang Teng got it from Hardy.

Hardy felt frustrated. He got tormented without knowing what Wang Teng wanted.

Just as its name suggested, the skill allowed one to hide in space to evade an attack.

It was different from the space shift Wang Teng used in the past. Space Flash was more direct and faster. A short teleportation could be achieved in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

Almost at the same moment Wang Teng used his Space Flash, the blade glow landed on the QY-E63 spacecraft.

The spacecraft froze. Then, it shattered into pieces. This was how powerful a universe-stage martial warrior’s attack was!

Wang Teng appeared a thousand meters away with a black face.

Round Ball was cursing furiously too.

The QY-E63 spacecraft had been left behind by Nangong Yue. Yet, it was destroyed in a single blade attack. The poor thing had suffered a lot ever since it followed Wang Teng.

It got damaged again and again, and now, there was nothing left, not even a shard of it. It couldn’t be repaired anymore.

Wang Teng didn’t stop for long. He took out the Flaming River spacecraft and asked Round Ball to activate it. Then, they escaped into the distance.

The time it took was extremely short. Wang Teng had already asked Round Ball to activate the spacecraft before he took it out, so it could move the moment it came out.

This was the advantage of having an intelligent lifeform. He couldn’t do it without Round Ball’s help.

Boom!

The Flaming River turned into a beam of light and disappeared with a loud bang.

“Huh?” The universe-stage martial warrior was surprised. He looked in the direction of the spacecraft. Then, he disappeared too.
