1182 Good Deeds Must Be Done With Skill
"Quick!"
Veblen wasn't in a good mood after he got tricked by Wang Teng, so he urged him angrily.
"Alright." Wang Teng smiled. Since he got some benefits, his tolerance for Veblen's bad tone grew higher. He didn't care about what he said.
Actually, if the benefits were good enough, he didn't mind helping with Veblen's research.
In summary, the offer wasn't good enough.
This old man was smart in certain areas but pure and naive in others.
Wang Teng liked to interact with someone like him because he wasn't scheming.
Veblen also felt the difference in Wang Teng's attitude. He wanted to roll his eyes.
This fellow wouldn't give in unless he was given enough rewards.
Without benefits, he refuted him all the way. Once there were rewards, he started speaking in a kind manner.
Moreover, he did it naturally.
This was the first time he saw someone so shameless in his life.
Veblen kept quiet. He realized that he shouldn't speak before fully understanding Wang Teng's ability. If not, he would make more mistakes.
He looked at Wang Teng and wondered how he could take care of the devil ovum.
He saw Wang Teng forming another light Force sword on his palm. Then, he walked toward the devil ovum.
Splat!
Wang Teng threw it out and stabbed it right through the devil ovum.
Silence.
What the hell?
Just a casual stab?
Veblen frowned involuntarily.
He did remind him that this was useless. Could it be that Wang Teng didn't believe him?
Also, what did he want to do with that casual stab? Couldn't he put in a bit more effort? What effects would a casual stab have?
Right then, the devil ovum trembled and gave a shrill cry.
"What's happening?" Veblen was astounded.
He sensed pain and agony in the devil ovum's scream.
Wang Teng managed to hurt the devil ovum with that random strike?
Veblen couldn't understand what had happened.
However, he didn't have the time to think further as chaotic spiritual fluctuations surged toward him. He had to form a spiritual shield to resist it.
"Are you alright?" Wang Teng frowned and looked over.
"I'm fine." Veblen shook his head and stared at Wang Teng strangely. He walked over and asked, "What did you do to the devil ovum just now?"
"You saw it, right? I stabbed it."
"Who are you trying to fool? Can a stab hurt the devil ovum?" Veblen didn't believe him.
"You don't have to believe me." Wang Teng didn't explain.
Actually, it was nothing. He just tried to absorb the devil ovum's Origin of Darkness just now.
The light Force sword was merely a camouflage. Well, it did have some use. It could act as a… straw!
No matter how smart Veblen was, he wouldn't expect Wang Teng to use the light Force sword as a straw instead of a weapon to hurt the devil ovum.
This wasn't how a normal person would think.
But this was just a trial. If he failed, Wang Teng would use the Holy Flame to burn it.
The Holy Flame was the greatest nemesis of dark matters like the devil ovum.
The devil ovum contained the Origin of Darkness, so more time was needed to burn it completely.
Fortunately, the result of the trial was better than expected.
The devil ovum started screaming immediately after he took his first sip.
Even Veblen got shocked by the cry.
Wang Teng managed to suck out a string of the Origin of Darkness. He then used the devouring ability of the Devouring Nihility Beast.
The Devouring Nihility Beast was said to be able to absorb anything in the universe. This small devil ovum was nothing in front of it.
The Devouring Nihility Beast hated anything with dark Force, but Wang Teng was its master now.
When he devoured the Origin of Darkness using his Devouring Nihility Beast form, he felt slightly uncomfortable. The human's consciousness took control of his mind, and he managed to bear this discomfort and disgust.
That was why he succeeded.
That string of origin was sucked into the devour space. After some time, it would be refined and become part of him.
Wang Teng's concentration was on his devour space. He saw a ball of origin of darkness inside it. It was encased in a purple-black ball of mist and was tossing and turning inside.
This was the refining process.
Adding this origin of darkness to his collection, Wang Teng had four types of origin now, including the origin of flame, the origin of metal, and the origin of wind.
If any universe-stage martial warrior learned that this celestial-stage martial warrior had four kinds of origins, they might collapse in shock.
Veblen was enraged by Wang Teng's indifferent reply. However, he couldn't do anything to him, so he said, "Do it one more time."
He would observe carefully and see how Wang Teng harmed this devil ovum.
"Alright, I'll show you again." Wang Teng smiled to himself.
The devouring ability of the Devouring Nihility Beast was powerful and mysterious. In addition, he used the light Force to cover up his act, so he believed that Veblen wouldn't be able to see anything.
Wang Teng brought out the light sword again and stabbed the devil ovum.
An ear-piercing cry sounded once again. Chaotic spirit fluctuations swept out.
Wang Teng and Veblen were prepared for this, so the devil ovum cried for nothing.
Wang Teng absorbed another string of the Origin of Darkness. Then, the light sword disappeared.
Two stabs!
That was enough.
He would stop here for today and complete the process slowly.
He told General Cameron that he needed half a month, so he wouldn't shorten the time. If he destroyed the devil ovum immediately, he would be slapping himself in the face.
He wasn't stupid.
General Cameron would be more convinced if he made the process seem hard.
The military lords would probably be touched if they knew about his efforts.
Good deeds must be done with skill. One couldn't just do it without thinking or he might end up working hard for nothing. The deed would be arduous but fruitless.
That would be working for nothing.
Veblen was puzzled.
Then?
That's it?
He observed Wang Teng carefully, but he couldn't see anything, not even a hint or trace.
He was a wise man from the Intelligence Nativity Clan, a person who possessed great knowledge. Yet he didn't see anything.
People would laugh at him if they learned about this.
This was infuriating.
Wang Teng took pity on Veblen when he saw his expression, but this was his secret. He couldn't tell him.
Sorry, there was nothing he could do.
"Let's go. That's it for today." Wang Teng's voice pulled Veblen back into reality.
"You're not continuing?" Veblen widened his eyes and asked.
"Continue?" Can't you tell that I've exerted all my energy today?" Wang Teng said. His face started to turn pale at a visible speed, and he looked exhausted.
Veblen wanted to complain, but no words came out. He didn't know how to respond to this young man.
How fake could he get?
He was fine a second ago and turned frail instantly after he finished speaking. Who would believe him?
Besides, he only stabbed the devil ovum twice. Shouldn't he put on a better show if he wanted to fool him?
"I'm leaving if you're not." Wang Teng didn't care about Veblen's response. He had gotten the attributes he wanted today. He wasn't going to stay here and play with the devil ovum.
Many thoughts ran through Veblen's mind. He glanced at the devil ovum longingly and finally left with Wang Teng.
The devil ovum was sealed, waiting for Wang Teng to caress it again tomorrow.
"Wang Teng, what did you do to the devil ovum?" Veblen pestered Wang Teng along the way.
"You won't understand even if I tell you."
Wang Teng ran away after throwing this sentence at Veblen. Veblen was infuriated.
Veblen went back to basement 3. A tall and slender young lady around 20 years old came to welcome him. She looked human, but she had large eyes and deep eye sockets. Her pupils appeared similar to that of the Intelligence Nativity Clansmen.
"Master, did you see the devil ovum?" the lady asked Veblen.
"I saw it, but I didn't find any answers. I even got confused by a young brat," Veblen said with frustration.
"Huh? Someone can confuse you?" The lady was surprised.
"Sigh, that lad is cheeky and has many secrets. I can't see through him." Veblen shook his head and sighed.
On the other side, Wang Teng reached his lodging. Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side.
"Wang Teng, Wang Teng, my cousin is in danger. He's in danger." Olivia pulled Wang Teng's hand. Her face was pale, and her gaze was full of anxiousness and helplessness.
