Complete Martial Arts Attributes

Chapter 2306  Shadow Fortress Ultimate Skill! (2)

This scripture differed significantly from the techniques Wang Teng had previously acquired. The previous scriptures involved the direct absorption of the Force into the body, followed by digestion and assimilation.

However, this particular scripture entailed the envelopment of the Force over oneʼs external surface, as if crafting an intangible and formless veil of Force fabric, seamlessly merging oneself with the external world.

In doing so, practitioners of this scripture could achieve complete concealment, making it exceptionally challenging to be detected.

Moreover, the gathered Force was gradually absorbed, silently dissipating as if naturally seeping away, rendering the process imperceptible to outsiders.

While the absorption rate may be considered slow, it appeared paradoxically swift, as martial warriors could effortlessly absorb the Force at any moment without the slightest stagnation.

For many martial warriors, the most daunting challenge often lies not in the difficulty of the scripture but in perseverance itself.

Only through years of unwavering commitment could one advance further.

Many prodigies possessed impressive innate talents, yet without sufficient diligence, they risk being surpassed by others, ultimately succumbing to failure.

This scripture seemingly transformed this condition into a passive state, relieving martial warriors from the need for constant vigilance.

”This scripture seems intriguing!” Wang Tengʼs eyes lit up as he murmured to himself.

Furthermore, he discovered an intriguing aspect – this scripture can adapt to any form of Force.

However, it required synergy with other scriptures. For example, metal-element martial warriors had to cultivate a metal-element scripture and then cultivate it together with this scripture.

In a way, it resembled an auxiliary scripture!

Black Shadow Scripture (eternal stage): 2500/10000 (well-versed)

Wang Teng glanced at the attributes board, surprised to find that this Black Shadow Scripture was of the eternal stage.

The foundation of the Shadow Fortress seemed quite impressive.

The attributes obtained from the two Shadow Fortress martial warriors had elevated his Black Shadow Scripture to a well-versed level, saving him a considerable amount of time in cultivation.

As he activated the Black Shadow Scripture, various Forces immediately converged around his body. These forces included the five elemental Forces of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

These five elemental forces were among the most common Forces freely circulating in the world, while others were relatively scarce.

Thus, Wang Teng effortlessly gathered all five elemental forces, achieving a more seamless concealment than the Shadow Fortress martial warriors.

At this moment, his body seemed to blend completely into the surrounding environment, with the veil formed by the five elemental forces covering his body, causing him to slowly disappear from his original position.

Taking a couple of steps, the veil on his body changed with the flow of forces, seamlessly adapting to the surroundings, and achieving perfect integration.

This process was remarkably natural, devoid of any stiffness or discord. Even a heaven-stage martial warrior would likely find it challenging to detect.

”Fascinating!” Wang Teng couldnʼt help but feel delighted.

He found himself enamored with this technique, unexpectedly gifted by the two Shadow Fortress martial warriors.

”Wang Teng, this technique is truly amazing!” Round Ball exclaimed in astonishment.

Wang Teng chuckled, a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

Round Ball rolled its eyes and didnʼt press further. After observing for a while, it lost interest.

After playing around for a bit, Wang Teng turned his attention to the other light figure.

This light figure was demonstrating a mysterious sword technique, each strike elusive and enigmatic. Every slash seemed to vanish before oneʼs eyes, only to reappear abruptly from various angles, catching opponents off guard.

Black Shadow Sword Skill (eternal stage): 3500/10000 (well-versed)

This sword technique was also at the eternal stage, and the attribute values acquired from the two Shadow Fortress martial warriors allowed him to bypass the foundation stage, attaining a well-versed level of mastery.

At this moment, a sense of enlightenment dawned upon him!

This sword technique was not an ordinary one. It was a primarily assassination-based technique, incredibly elusive and unpredictable, representing the pinnacle skill of the Shadow Fortress.

The reason why the Shadow Fortress was famous in the universe was largely attributed to the battle technique and scripture.

However, both the scripture and the battle technique were challenging to cultivate.

Only a select few prodigies could reach profound mastery.

The Shadow Fortress meticulously selected individuals suitable for cultivation through layers of screening.

After years of training, these chosen prodigies became the elite assassins executing various covert missions for the Shadow Fortress.

Now, the battle technique and scripture had fallen into the hands of Wang Teng. It left one to wonder, what expressions would the members of the Shadow Fortress wear upon learning of this?

After reviewing the attribute bubbles, Wang Teng turned his gaze toward the two individuals in front of him. ”Itʼs time to wake them up and ask some questions.”

Slap!

Squatting down, he retrieved the Lightning Slap and ruthlessly smacked it across their faces.

True to their status as Shadow Fortress prodigies, even though their faces were in agony, they instantly snapped back to attention, leaping up from the ground into a defensive stance.

Moments later, Shadow Nine and Shadow Eleven gradually regained consciousness. They felt an intense pain on their faces as if they had been run over by a carriage.

True to their status as Shadow Fortress prodigies, even though their faces were in agony, they instantly snapped back to attention, leaping up from the ground into a defensive stance.

However, the two soon realized that both their Force and spiritual power were sealed. Their previous reactions were merely a result of relying on their physical strength.

This realization instantly darkened the expressions on both individualsʼ faces.

Even when they were unconscious, they knew that they were not being rescued but rather had gone from the frying pan into the fire.

Now, their suspicions were confirmed.

Casting a glance at each other, they immediately surveyed their surroundings and found themselves in a jungle, not the river from before. They couldnʼt help but sigh with relief. Escaping from the jaws of that universe-stage origin beast was indeed a stroke of luck in their misfortune.

”What are you looking for?” At that moment, a voice echoed from a large tree nearby.

The voice was eerily familiar—it was the same voice that had saved them earlier. They looked up and were greeted by a sight that left their expressions both surprised and interesting.

Perched on a branch directly above them was a figure they recognized all too well.

Legs swinging leisurely outside the branch as if entirely at ease, the handsome face that made one want to throw a punch wore a faint, mischievous smile as he looked down at them.

Wang Teng had ascended the tree.

”Itʼs you!”

Though Shadows Nine and Eleven had already suspected, seeing the true face of the person confirmed their suspicions, and it was hard for them to accept.

They had been following Wang Teng, like two exceedingly skilled hunters closing in on their prey, confident that victory was assured, and they could capture their quarry at any moment.

However, the tables turned, and they found themselves ensnared by their prey.

The sudden reversal left them almost wanting to find a hole to crawl into, their faces reflecting extreme embarrassment.

”Indeed, itʼs me.” Wang Teng looked at them with a playful grin, saying, ”Seems like you two are quite familiar with me.”

”Well, youʼre the councilor of the Academy Arbitration Association. How could we not recognize you?” Shadow Eleven was draped in a black cloak with his head originally covered by a hood. Wang Teng had removed the hood so his slightly swollen youthful face was revealed.

”Oh, I see. But Iʼm curious, what were you two constantly following me for?” Wang Teng asked, smiling.

Shadows Nine and Elevenʼs pupils instantly contracted, their hearts shaken. Had they been discovered from the very beginning?

”Did you lure that universe-stage origin beast over on purpose?” Shadow Nine asked in a low voice.

”Ah, you found out.” Wang Teng looked at him in surprise, admiring his quick reaction.

Shadow Elevenʼs complexion darkened, and his heart trembled intensely. That Domain universe-stage origin beast had been intentionally led by this guy. He had fallen into a trap, and he only realized it now.

”Since when did you discover us?” Shadow Nine felt a sense of frustration, took a deep breath, and asked.

”Of course, it was from the moment you entered the ancestral land. Did you really think your concealment techniques could deceive me?” Wang Teng laughed.

”You…” Shadow Eleven looked at Wang Teng in astonishment. Their proud concealment technique was utterly ineffective before this young man. They had been exposed from the very beginning. Was there anything more demoralizing?

”You truly live up to being a prodigy of the Stellar Academies. We were too self-assured, never expected such a vast disparity.” Shadow Nine, once again taking a deep breath, expressed with a touch of weariness.

At this moment, a sense of defeat suddenly arose in his heart. Despite their self-proclaimed brilliance, they were nothing in front of this young man.
