It would definitely be an agony for anyone in the arena to be confronted with this dark element. They would have to be prepared to force the enemy to a corner and perish together. Yet Wang Zheng had defeated his opponent easily.
Anyone with the basic theoretical knowledge of Ability X knew that the minor five elements would be unable to withstand the dark element.
The spectator hall was overcast with an oppressive atmosphere. It was oppressive because they were competitors, and they needed to battle. But future opponents gave them a feeling of wanting to escape.
What kind of power was this?
This Wang Zheng was no longer the strongest of the strongest. He had improved again!
Yes, he was improving continuously.
This time nobody explained, nobody uttered a word. Wang Zheng, of course, did not feel responsible to do so either. This was the only way to deal with the dark element if one had yet to fully comprehend the balance of the five elements. González needed to strike first; to finish off his opponent. However, with the balance of the five elements, the minor five elements were an absolute circle, circulating exclusively around him. The dark element was the same – at least González had not been overpowered thus far.
The dark element was not totally unbeknownst to Wang Zheng. In the earlier years, the Normalization Technique was based on the major five elements; land, sea, fire, air and space. Of which, space comprised of light and darkness, and some even greater strength – very oppressive, like what Charcoal had said. Humans would not be able to ensure it, at least not in his current state. In order to be better in touch with the universe, one needed to master the foundation of the five elements, and constantly perfect the energy of the human body; otherwise, the obsession of the power of the universe would ultimately lead to desolation.
Thus, the dark force bore no mysterious suppression on Wang Zheng.
Thus, the dark force bore no mysterious suppression on Wang Zheng. It could be said that he and Aslan had an ill-fated relationship. Having gained an understanding of the balance of the five elements propelled him to the next level. This was stronger than the breakthrough of individual ability. At the same time, it was also an enhancement of his foresight and state.

Wang Zheng and González had been sent out, and both were in good shape. This meant that the team battle was in the preparations.
However, the momentum favoured Saruman Snake. Although González was very strong indeed, and there is an endless stream of strength, he fell short in the end.
But González still could not understand how Wang Zheng had managed to thwart his attacks.
After taking the lead, Saruman Snake focused on the line-up. Lie Xin was up in the second match. The Darkness Empire battle team did not give up. Although González had lost, the captain was in excellent condition. The team battle could still exercise its strength. The Darkness Empire also wanted a fighting chance.
However, a miracle did not happen in the second battle. Although Lie Xin was a woman, her domineering Tyrannical Fire Technique was incredibly overbearing and overcame her opponent with ease. It was a closely contested battle. Unfortunately, the opponent’s Ability X was suppressed by the Tyrannical Fire Technique. In terms of physical combat, as a descendant of the Lie family, Lie Xin, of course, would not be inferior to anyone.
Saruman Snake won the second battle. When Wang Zheng was around, the entire Saruman Snake battle team seemed to be enveloped with an invincible force of confidence. It felt as if all the members of the team had an increase of twenty percent in fighting power, and the fortunes by one percent. On the other hand, the morale of the opponent was reduced, and so too were the fortunes. Wang Zheng had become a symbol of terror by now.
Even the members of the Dark Knight battle team were not losing their confidence. Once they lost their belief, they would not be able to show tenacity in the battle.
While preparing for the third match, the organizing committee intervened and took González away. This was because he had taken illegal drugs during the match. While SIG would not deliberately check for contraband, it did not mean that it could be used, especially contrabands like PEDs. This contraband was used only during life and death situations. In reality, the Darkness Empire was a little foolish now, which was also the predicament that many empires were currently facing, and despite their desire, this problem was something that the Silver League was unable to manage.
Saruman Snake effortlessly advanced to the last sixteen, appearing… extremely easy.
The opponent was terrorized once again in this battle. Despite González’s used of the PPO, he was still defeated by Wang Zheng. This was indeed strange.
The battles for day two had finished. The Arbiter Soulless battle team had advanced easily and indisputably. Arbiter was still powerful.
However, every major team was reviewing Wang Zheng after the match. Reviews were necessary; otherwise, death would be imminent. When did this fellow have a breakthrough again? The reviews were simply unable to keep up!
The Golden Wind Wall was obviously not the power. If it was the power of the wind, the Storm Swordsman would have already been blown into shreds.
Gold from the five elements? It could not withstand that either.
Compound?
Compound ability had always been used for attacks. Compound had nebulous indicators. This Golden Wind Wall did not have any clear indication of its element. Was this a new category of ability?
Trait type?
This was a huge problem, and everyone was most fearful of this indiscernible power.
Wang Zheng was accustomed to all this, and was unconcerned with them. This had made him stronger instead. While the manifestation could be displayed, the core had to remain a secret. The stronger the power, the easier it was to be restrained. Although he was not afraid, he had a normal sense of security nonetheless.
Kashawen was watching the recording in her hands while Mitchell, who was beside her, was presenting the information.
“Your Highness, this person’s combat ability is among the best of the best, and he will definitely a contender for first place,” said Mitchell candidly. Aslan evidently did not want Wang Zheng to be crowned champion.
It was impossible for Wang Zheng not to draw their attention since the qualifying matches. Dealing with this was indeed a problem.
It was also tricky to deal with Princess Aina. The rules had been fixed and everyone had to follow those rules. If Kashawen broke the rules, Aina was also not one to be trifled with.
However, if Wang Zheng were to be crowned champion, it would prove to be a greater setback. No matter how strong he was, he was still a warrior. In fact, the stronger they were, the less likeable they were. This type of person was suitable to be the captain of special forces. However, it was pointless because this would drive the difference in status between a warrior and a princess even farther.
“It was it the finals yet. Let’s wait and see,” said Kashawen.
“Your Highness, this is still dangerous. What if…” Mitchell said worriedly after considering all the opinions of the others. This Saruman Snake could likely advance to the finals. This was too dangerous.
Kashawen smiled, and Mitchell stopped talking. She knew Her Highness had already formed her opinion. Whenever he saw this smile, he knew that no one could escape from Kashawen’s hands.
No matter who they were.
Having effortlessly advanced to the top sixteen, Zhang Shan and the others’ moods were undoubtedly exceptional. They sat waiting for their competitors. With their experience in IG and their calmness, watching someone else’s competition was a completely different sentiment, especially when watching the competitions of some of the powerful opponents. The top sixteen was manageable. The next stage would basically not be too different. They could even encounter an “old friend”.
Wang Zheng was in an excellent state. So too was the entire Saruman Snake battle team. Although not unimpregnable, there was still a chance of winning no matter who they encountered. The factors outside the arena were even more worrying. Wang Zheng did not believe that the Prime Minister did not necessarily equate trustworthiness, especially for these sorts of people. Ai Xiaolu had also reminded him that the Saruman Snake battle team be wary of Kashawen’s under-handed tricks. It was easier to be guarded against out-right tricks than the under-handed ones.
