The young man laughed lightly. "One sneeze from the Princess of Aslan can dismiss a representative. She is extremely powerful. Alright, let's take a look at what he wants."

The butler lowered his head as he said, "He's been used as a pretext. His daughter is also here. It seems …"

A hint of a sneer appeared at the corner of the young man's mouth. "When are the mecha from Aslan coming?"

"At most one week from now. As you know, it's a little more troublesome for them to clear customs."

"Give them another three days!" The young man did not pay too much heed.

"Understood, three days," the butler said respectfully.

The day he was referring to was that of the time of a single day on Earth. It was also used to gauge time in the Solar System and eventually used as the basis of time in the Milky Way Galaxy.

In that very same world, at a very different region on a Sunday morning, four people met early in the morning at a quaint tea shop.

Tea Mine, a little shop that specialized in black tea. The boss was a very meticulous individual, and the Tea Mine was uniquely designed based on his ideas. It was quite well-known in school.

The four individuals sat down. "Since our dorm head has no requests, I'll go first!" Zhang Shan said.

"Based on our IQ, since I am the highest, I get to choose first!" Yao Ailun did not want to be outdone.

"Shouldn't you all let me have the first pick? We must respect the old and cherish the young!" Chen Xiu said, with a look of grievance.

The three were already engaged in talks, and Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or to cry. It seemed that the charm of beautiful women was indeed powerful.

At this moment, a girl walked in energetically. She looked around and then strode swiftly towards them.

The four who were seated were shocked. Don't tell me that she was the one? It shouldn't be? GOD!

When that girl … rather, when that tomboy sat on the chair opposite the four, the four of them clearly felt a tremor.

"The rest are not coming anymore. We've agreed on letting me take one back. You guys decide amongst yourselves!" she said, grabbing the teapot on the table and gulping it down.

The four of them, who were well-dressed, were petrified, and they looked at each other.

Yao Ailun pushed up his gold spectacles as he seriously said, "Cough, cough. Zhang Shan, I feel that no matter how one looks at it, you are the most suitable!"

By visual examination, her weight was around 180 pounds, and both of her hands had callouses. She was in all likelihood a martial arts practitioner—if she struck out with a single slap, if it did not kill him, it would at least take half his life.

Zhang Shan smiled and suddenly flourished with an effeminate hand gesture. "Oh, is that right? I'm so happy!"

The tomboy's face scrunched up. "Scram, you sissy!"

Zhang Shan gave a look of grievance, as if he was very hurt. Wang Zheng and the rest scolded him for being shameless.

"I can help, but I have to tell my mom first. Once mom agrees, then I can give you a reply. Can you wait for me?" Chen Xiu said proactively.

The tomboy immediately rejected him. "Scram! Go back home to your mom!"

Student Chen Xiu smiled proudly. The girl's gaze was locked onto Wang Zheng and Yao Ailun.

Yao Ailun very suavely pushed his glasses up. From his dressing to his temperament, it was clear that the tomboy was very interested in him.

"A man must be a man of his words. Since I have agreed, I have no… no, ah, ah, no!" Student Yao's face suddenly turned ashen as he trembled and fished out something from his pocket and put it into his mouth, deeply inhaling. "Ah, give me a moment!"

The tomboy was rather disappointed, and there was only Wang Zheng left.

The other three looked at Wang Zheng innocently. Chen Xiu's eyes were full of worship. "Brother Zheng, as the dorm head, you are duty-bound!"

"You are the best in military training, you deserve it!" Zhang Shan patted Wang Zheng's shoulder.

"The pride of the Physics Department, only you can carry this heavy responsibility. Us brothers will never forget your sacrifice!"

The corner of Student Ailun's mouth carried a very gorgeous smile.

"Hey! You're that Wang Zheng. This will do, it's you!" The tomboy suddenly slapped the table. The surrounding people immediately looked over. "What are you looking at? I'll smack you to death if you keep looking!"

Sturdy-looking, ferocious, and murderous!

Even though this was near the military school, the surrounding people were terrified.

Wang Zheng complained silently in his heart. What was Ye Zisu doing? Thinking about how Ye Zisu had helped him so much, he felt a little guilty letting her friend go back alone just like that. Anyway, he had to deal with her for just one day; at least things would not be so embarrassing for her.

"If it's only for a day, I can do it."

The tomboy furrowed her brows. "What do you mean one day? You have to commit for at least one month!"

The three people beside Wang Zheng tried to suppress their laughter. To "commit" so fiercely, could one even survive for a month?

The tomboy seemed to realize that something was not right. "What are you guys thinking? Isn't this just being a model for the Art Club? You don't even have to strip naked!"

Art Club?

The legendary Art Club with endless lolis and jade-sculpted beauties?

Model?

The four were stupefied. At this moment, Ye Zisu and three pretty girls walked in. "Apologies, we were caught up with something, so we're late."

"Oh, President, why are you here?" asked a long-haired girl in a blue dress.

"Qingqing, is it not him?

"President, I said the store beside Tea Mine, not Tea Mine." Qingqing laughed.

"No matter, this fella looks not bad. Top military freshman Wang Zheng, right? We'll use you!" the tomboy said while pointing at Wang Zheng.

"Student Wang Zheng, we'll have to trouble you in the future. I am Zisu's dorm mate and also vice president of the Art Club, Du Qingqing. This is our club president, Zhang Runan."

Du Qingqing laughed. "Looks like we're fated to meet."

"Alright, you all can continue chatting. I'm off!"

She left with giant steps after speaking. Damn, she was no different from a true alpha male![1]

With such a small incident, everyone could interact more easily and naturally.

Student Yao Ailun started acting like a gentleman full of elegance the moment the four beauties appeared. That kid, Chen Xiu, also stopped pretending to be a mama's boy. He looked around with big, watery eyes, bringing out his inner charm. Such a cutie, a rare find in military school.

Zhang Shan really wanted to be able to immediately take off his shirt and show off his muscles. No one could beat him when it came to physique.

Ye Zisu's four dorm mates were Du Qingqing, Officer Department, specializing in strategy, vice president of Art Club.

An Mei, Officer Department, specializing in management, member of Drama Club.

This other one was an unexpected addition. Ye Zisu's dorm originally only had three people. This one originally did not live in school and was transferred in. The Mecha Department's Meng Tian.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan naturally were not at all unfamiliar with her. Almost 1.8 metres tall, slender body, icy cool. Most importantly, she was pretty. Altogether, definitely memorable.

"Have a seat, have a seat. To meet four great beauties is my honour!" Student Ailun immediately posed. "What would you all like? Please go ahead and order, my treat."

Damn, this kid had already made his move. Chen Xiu immediately went over and pulled out their chairs.

"Gee, this little handsome guy is so polite." An Mei laughed. Her mouth was very big with luscious lips. All in all, she looked rather sexy.

Student Chen Xiu smiled innocently. "To be of service to these pretty sisters is my honor."

He definitely seemed like the harmless type.

Damn it. This year, the young ones were so vicious, and they had struck so quickly.

Zhang Shan and Wang Zheng thought about what to do but realized that there was not much left to do anymore.

"Seems like our school has assigned the dorms by looks," Zhang Shan said. Girls all liked compliments, especially those who were exceptional.

Even the brutish Zhang Shan had a delicate side.

"Wang Zheng, I would like to have a little competition with you!" Meng Tian suddenly said.

"Tiantian is from the MMA Club. Oh, do not look down on us girls!" Du Qingqing said.

"Today we are here to make friends and talk about our romantic passions, no?" Ye Zisu said, completely overlooking Meng Tian's electrifying gaze.

"Seeing the four of you, I finally understand why the ancients coined the phrase 'a feast for the eyes.'"

At this moment, Student Yao showed no trace of his otaku temperament. He clearly seemed like a veteran in the field of love. His performance was stellar.

The whole afternoon was full of talk and laughter. Student Wang Zheng could not even find many opportunities to speak, much less have any awkward silences. The girls were also surprised, as they originally expected the Physics Department boys to be a little strange; who would have thought that these four were all so special?

As per normal, the parties exchanged Skylink numbers. This proved that the networking was successful and that there was a chance for a further meetup.

After splitting up, the four walked to school with arms around each other's shoulders. "Wang Zheng, about the Art Club matter, if you can't do it, us brothers can also help you share the load."

"Yes, we're all comrades in the trenches of battle. We should wade through thick and thin together."

"I think they can find a lot of inspiration from my body," student Chen Xiu said, extremely cutely.

The three stared at him and flipped their middle fingers at the same time. "Shameless!"

Wang Zheng did not continue participating in this discussion about girls. He was called away by Xie Yuxin.

Student Little Yu was still considered a "shy" person. Usually, it was Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu who went to find him instead.

When Wang Zheng arrived, Yan Xiaosu and Xie Yuxin were already there, and they seemed rather solemn.

"What's up?"

Yan Xiaosu pouted, "Ask him. This fella is being all secretive, even I don't know what is up with him."

Xie Yuxin smiled and took out a deck of playing cards. "You guys each pick a card at random."

Yan Xiaosu's eyes lit up. "Ah, Little Yu, don't tell me you've learned magic. Actually, if you go that route, based on style, all you have to do is to show a little teeth and all the chicks will go with you."

Xie Yuxin gazed towards Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng randomly chose a card.

"King of Hearts."

Wang Zheng was surprised. "Indeed, how did you guess."

Yan Xiaosu took the deck. "This has to be a prop. How can you be so sick?"

Yan Xiaosu randomly chose a card, and in the end, Xie Yuxin guessed it. Yan Xiaosu shuffled the cards again and even randomly chose a card behind his back and asked Xie Yuxin to close his eyes and guess. Eventually, he guessed it all correctly.

Yan Xiaosu also sensed that something was up. Looking at Xie Yuxin with a pair of big eyes, he suddenly slapped his thigh. "F, don't tell me we're just going to rely on buying lottery tickets and make it rich in the future and dominate the universe!"

Xie Yuxin was triggered, and he finally burst out and cursed, "Can't you think about something else?!"

Yan Xiaosu laughed. He was flattered. "Tickets are more practical!"

"I can't guess the lottery. Wang Zheng, I think you have gotten an idea already."

Wang Zheng nodded. "Is this the one in ten thousand, elite power, Ability X?"

"Yes, it gives me the the ability to be slightly clairvoyant."

"F*k, comparing against you sucks. You're already good-looking, and now this. You are going to be unrivalled at picking up chicks!" Yan Xiaosu was rather depressed.

Yan Xiaosu's world was either about girls or the lottery, and the two were helpless about it.

"Are you all finding it strange how we became friends?" Xie Yuxin laughed.

Yan Xiaosu touched his own nose, something he learned from Wang Zheng. "Cough cough, more like we were willing to adopt you."

[1] There is a pun here. The chairman is known as Runan (Can be read as "Like a man"). The pun is because the guys are making fun of the fact that she can't even be considered to be like a man, but rather she is super manly.

Chapter 31: Cunning Gu Te

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Xie Yuxin smiled knowingly. "Indeed, my happiest days are with you guys. But there's one thing that's wrong. At the start, what made me notice you was my ability. In the whole of Dawn Middle School, Yan Xiaosu, you are the first."

"Ah, you're saying I am a genius. This I already know!" Student Xiaosu laughed loudly.

"My ability is clairvoyance. Everyone will show some kind of living form. Yan Xiaosu's is the most dazzling. But most importantly, because of Xiaosu, I met Wang Zheng. This was the first time I found someone whose life was so brilliant!" Xie Yuxin said seriously.

"True, how else can he be the boss? But what is up with you today? Beating around the bush is totally not your style." Yan Xiaosu felt like something was not right. This fellow was usually cool and never complimented others.

"Xiaosu, set a goal. Maybe even wanting to be Earth's richest person might not be a fantasy."

"F*k, you really belittle me. I want to dominate the universe!" Yan Xiaosu, in typical fashion, ran far with whatever he was given.

"Wang Zheng, your light used to shine bright in all directions, but in recent times, that light has vanished. I thought you were affected by the gene examination, but I realized it was not the case. I think it should be that you have entered a stage that I can no longer sense. I don't know what your future is like, and I also do not know how strong you will become. I just want to say that you can definitely become an influential person. I am not kidding; even Masasi is not as unique as you!"

Xie Yuxin stared brightly at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng had admiration in his heart. His Rubik's Cube experience was certainly unfathomable, but Xie Yuxin could actually sense it. His reputation of elite of the elites was well-deserved.

"Little Yu, is there something up? We are brothers, say it and we can all share the burden. Nothing's too big of a deal."

Xie Yuxin smiled. "I'm going to go."

"Go, go where?" Yan Xiaosu was shocked for a moment. "Don't tell me you've really struck the lottery and want to go and be happy on your own!"

"I can't tell you the specifics, but to me, it's an opportunity. I was urged to make this decision because of Wang Zheng. The military training this time made me come to my senses that I have to become even bigger and stronger, but Ares College can't give me that."

Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu understood. Regarding Xie Yuxin, his development was not going to be through the conventional path. Instead, he needed to learn and improve his special ability. Given his giftedness, the Alliance will certainly focus on nurturing him, and he can even rise to a bigger world.

"Wang Zheng, Xiaosu, I hope that when we meet again, we will all have realized our goals!"

Xie Yuxin extended his arm, Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu also extended their arms. "Brothers no matter where we go!"

Xie Yuxin drank till he was very drunk despite never touching alcohol before. One could tell that that he did not want to split. His identity and ability led him to be on his own since he was young. He was alone until he met these two living gems who did not care about his identity. From that moment on, Xie Yuxin lived very happily. As long as one was alive, one should never stop dreaming. Or else Xie Yuxin would not be Xie Yuxin.

To leave was for reuniting again.

"Wang Zheng, you know, I'm actually rather frustrated. Your talent is definitely not any less than others, and your hard work and focus is greater than others. But I can definitely surpass you, so you better not slack. I really don't want you to have to bow to me the next time we meet!" the drunken Xie Yuxin said as he hugged Wang Zheng. Student Wang also never thought that he would have such a cool moment, but he also knew that this was Xie Yuxin's encouragement to them before leaving.

"Wherever you go, you must remember—you are the pride of the Great Three of Dawn. Whoever dares to stir trouble, we'll take them down!"

"Indeed, we are Dawn's Great Three. Let the world tremble!"

Student Yan Xiaosu began taking off his clothes. Belly shaking, he jumped onto the table.

Xie Yuxin was about to enter a really distant stage, and he would face mankind's strongest elites. That kind of development was not something a general environment could compare with.

This was brotherhood!

We are the strongest!

When school started, Xie Yuxin had left. The school's explanation was that he had transferred schools. The girls were sad because now that one handsome guy was gone, they had to look for other targets.

The Physics Department's first day of lessons also began. Wang Zheng had a rather stable foundation and general framework, so basically, he easily understood everything the teacher said. He had nothing against physics, but to have this as his life's goal was something Student Wang really could not tolerate. Once lessons ended, he bolted straight to the principal's office—top in military training, was there no room for maneuvering?

Gu Te was also very polite when he saw Wang Zheng. "I still thought that you were rather patient. First day and you can't hold it in already."

"Cough cough. Principal, I am really not cut out for physics. You've already seen how my military training has gone. Are you able to consider transferring departments for me?"

"Oh, your performance was indeed very good. Instructor Luo Yun has also told me many times. But Student Wang Zheng, it's very tough!"

Gu Te had a look of embarrassment. Wang Zheng's heart froze over.

Suddenly, Gu Te smiled again. "Actually, it's not that there's no way to transfer departments. Firstly, performance in military training alone is not enough; after all, that is just foundation. You will still have to bring glory to the school; that way it will be easier for the board to approve. Secondly, you must obtain teacher Xiao Fei's approval. The goal is to sit in to listen at the Mecha Department. You can choose freely between the lessons of both departments, but you cannot hang up on the Physics Department's examination. Otherwise, no one can help you."

"Principal, you are really a good person. I will definitely work hard!"

"Mm, go." Gu Te waved his hand. Looking at Wang Zheng's look of happiness, he laughed inside. "Little fellow, the best is yet to come. You are a trump card, so I have to use you well!"

Xie Yuxin was originally a trump card too, but the little fellow had a better opportunity. As a grandfather, he could not stop him. He actually didn't think that Little Xin's ability would attract … attention.

In the afternoon, Wang Zheng skipped the Physics Department's class. In the Mecha Department's classroom, even the air felt a little more refreshing.

There were many people in this big class, and no one cared about Wang Zheng. Mecha's developmental history.

This was understanding the process of how the mech gradually gained a dominant position in the history of mankind.

In the early days, the mech was auxiliary. At that time, technology was not as mature as now, and robots and conventional weapons were still the primary forces. However, following the making of the first generation of mecha, which was also the Wargod No. 1's original form, mecha's exceptional capabilities quickly replaced conventional weapons. This was a historical process that pretty much could not have been stopped, similar to the majority of technological progress.

Due to mecha's all-weather combat suitability, it rapidly became popular across all countries in the Milky Way Galaxy. Every country's arms race changed focus from taboo weaponry to mecha. Also, derivative technology from the mecha also had brilliant civilian applications.

From the start until today, the mecha has at least a hundred years of history, from not even ten types of basic mecha, to more than a hundred types. It was said that every country has its own hidden mech, and they are all super mecha that can turn the tides of battle.

The mecha started from a fortifying equipment for the individual soldier and gradually developed in the direction of becoming an influential force of battle. Many superstitious mecha researchers believe that this was the best choice for the human civilization with mechanical civilization and biotechnology.

Someday, advancements will reach a stage where one-man-one-mech will traverse the universe.

It must be said that the professor teaching this simple mecha history was sensational. The group of hot-blooded youths were all thoroughly engaged. The men who did not like mecha were not here. To be able to attend the Mecha Department, one had to be a man amongst men; at least this was what every Mecha Department student believed.

Wang Zheng was also one of them. He listened to the professor teaching and looked at Chen Xiu's explanation of the mech simultaneously. Definitely a professional. From the origins and unique points to the analysis maps, all was done very well. That analytical form was incomprehensible without some foundation in math and physics.

And in the Command Department, a similar sensational class was in progress.

"Some amongst you will be the elites standing at the pinnacle of this world. You all will lead mankind's destiny. Command Department, officer bracket, and then the holy general. But I must say, I hope that amongst you, I will see Earth's chief commander, the Solar System Alliance's chief commander, and even Milky Way Galaxy's chief commander!"

Charlie Zhou, head of Command Department. His lessons were rousing, and he often stimulated students until they were wild.

"A soldier who does not want to become general is not a good soldier. But this does not apply to you all. A Command Department student who cannot become a general is not my student. Remember, do not waste your own talent and life, and this place is your diving board. You must use your own ability to dominate the world!"

The students had pretty much forgotten the passage of time. From the foundation of military training to the current expectations was a completely explosive development.

Gu Te's determination for renewal was clear.

It was the same thing for a school as for a human—either make a breakthrough from silence, or die in it.

So Gu Te did not mind that others thought that he was shameless poaching!

Wang Zheng paid serious attention, taking notes as he listened, except the points he had taken down were slightly different from others. He suddenly realized that Chen Xiu's notes were rather interesting.

The mecha information in CT was referenced from real life, so the mecha abilities were more or less identical. Unless one was talking about Aslan's Royal Academy, there was no other military school in the Milky Way Galaxy that had a full range of mecha for students to use.

This was also what was cool about the Aslan Empire. Citizens of Aslan often said, "Here, everything is the best!"

After lessons ended, the entire classroom became lively. The youthful freshmen were naturally lively in the presence of beautiful girls.

"Wang Zheng, you are really here. Aren't you scared of failing?" Ye Zisu asked.

"I'm scared. Failing must definitely not happen. But as you know, mecha are my favorite."

Wang Zheng closed the notes window on his Skylink. "Who knows, I might have to borrow your notes in the future because I do not dare to skip some classes."

If he were to skip Xiao Fei's class, he would definitely get into trouble.

"That depends on whether you are sincere." Ye Zisu laughed cunningly.

"No problem, you do you. I can even devote my whole life to you," Wang Zheng teased.

"I'll lend them to you, no need to devote your whole life." An ice cold voice sounded.

Once Meng Tian's tall and beautiful voice appeared, all eyes were called to attention.

Chapter 32: Brat, You're Late

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Currently, Meng Tian and Ye Zisu were the two most outstanding girls in their cohort. More accurately speaking, they were recognized by the entire school. Even when compared with previous cohorts, they were truly outstanding.

Ye Zisu's family background was one that was closely scrutinized by others. She was the heir to OMG. On the other hand, Meng Tian possessed a different background. She was an excellent mech pilot. Ye Zisu chose to enter the Mecha Department not to become a pilot but rather to better understand it to better take on her role as the future chairman of OMG.

Ye Zisu was amiable and approachable, while Meng Tian was the exact opposite, always icy cold to everyone. Numerous suitors had already had their hopes dashed against the wall.

Ye Zisu gave Meng Tian a look and then smiled wryly. "No need to bother."

It could be seen that the friendship between the two of them was rather special. In the world of women, men would never understand it. Thus, Student Wang continued to wait with his large, innocent eyes.

"Anything. Wang Zheng, remember our arrangement! As a representative of the MMA club, I would like to invite you into our club!" said Meng Tian. Student Wang felt even more innocent. He could not remember when he had made arrangements with Meng Tian!

"Tsk, how can anyone just wantonly enter the MMA club?"

"I am the Vice President," replied Meng Tian dryly. On the first day, she had literally overthrown the previous Vice President and took his place by force.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to join, but rather I'm too busy! I have no time." Wang Zheng had no time to spare and thus rejected her.

"If you want to become an exceptional mech pilot, your body has to be sufficiently conditioned. The MMA club's training machines are the best. If you are a member, you can use them," said Meng Tian. It looked as though she had seen through Wang Zheng's farce and thus attacked his weakness directly!

Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. "Really? Then count me in!"

"Excellent. Once you're done with your work, report to the club room in the afternoon. I will be waiting for you." After saying so, Meng Tian turned and left gracefully. Looking at that beautiful body, numerous men could only gape in shock. How could she be from the MMA club?

They could almost imagine Meng Tian in her white-colored training outfit, freely and easily executing kicks against a training dummy…that beautiful thigh arcing through the air gracefully…

"That makes a lot of sense. As a Mecha Department member, how can we neglect physical training!?"

"Let's go later!"

"Definitely, we must definitely go!"

"With Brother Ping's body, even without me, it would definitely be the MMA club's loss."

A group of guys were currently clamoring in the background loudly. Ye Zisu had a bitter smile on her face. Ever since she entered college, although her background was exceptional, Meng Tian's icy, goddess-like demeanor had led her to be comparatively even more eye catching.

Yet when it came to making friends, she held the advantage.

"You've got to be careful; Tiantian has her eyes on you."

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. So what if she had her eyes on him? He was originally looking for a new place to train. This great opportunity had just fallen from the sky, and he had saved quite a sum as well!

At this point his Skylink started to ring with a charming sound.

"Student Wang, you wouldn't be thinking of skipping my first lecture, would you?"

Wang Zheng began to quiver. F*k. He had forgotten. This was Xiao Fei's opening lecture! He was going to die!

F*k! There was still one minute before class would begin.

Wang Zheng rushed over as quickly as he could.

Ye Zisu did not know whether to laugh or to cry looking at Wang Zheng's sorry sight. His passion had a price after all.

Although Wang Zheng ran as though his life depended on it, he was still late.

In the Physics Department, Xiao Fei's opening lecture was considered an extremely important event in the entire school.

She was not only famous in the school but on the entirety of planet Earth. Geniuses had strange temperaments. Xiao Fei usually hated to do opening lectures, but she suddenly had a change of heart. The entire class was crammed full of people. Even those who were originally not from the Physics Department had arrived, all for the sake of seeing a famous individual.

Looking at the entire history of humankind, those who wished to be at the apex of science were usually physicists. Once they had demonstrated their ability, physicists were also the most respected. From the time of Newton, Einstein, Hawking, and, by extension, those who had toiled in the current generation, like Alan Tucker. All of them were highly esteemed and regarded in the coalition.

Of course, Alan Tucker was currently embroiled in a controversy. People opposed his theories. A group of people felt that the Rubik's Cube Theory was a sham. Another group felt that what he had theorized was right. The coalition's conclusion was that the experiments were flawed, resulting in great humiliation for the physicists involved.

Without need to ask, Xiao Fei was recognized as the Solar System Federation's pride. She had contributed new insights into the theory of spatial manipulation through independent research.

Furthermore, Xiao Fei was a beauty.

In the modern era, intelligence and looks coexisting in the same body was not as rare as the time of the Milky Way Era. In fact, there were more and more of such individuals.

Actually, when Alan Tucker was young, he was extremely narcissistic. He often dated numerous celebrities, but none of the relationships had borne fruit. In the end he devoted himself to research.

What happened afterwards does not have to be said.

The entire lecture theatre, which could fit 300 individuals, was filled to the brim. In fact, some of the seats had 2 people sitting on them, but that was nothing exceptional.

Everyone understood Dr. Xiao Fei's temper. It was already time for the lecture to start, but Xiao Fei was just standing there silently.

If it was another professor, the crowd would have already exploded into chatter. However, when it was Xiao Fei lecturing, the students would gladly endure any hardship to hear her lessons.

Being able to be in the presence of the most beautiful professor was already extremely satisfying.

Right at this moment, a single man rushed in. Everyone was shocked. F*k. Who was this piece of trash? He actually dared to be late!

The truth was that Xiao Fei's temper was not pleasant. If just one student was late, she would potentially cancel the lecture and choose to let everyone study on their own. That would indeed be a pity.

In the classroom, there were even some people from other schools. All of this was for the sake of listening to the Milky Way's youngest spatial manipulation professor's class.

Dear Student Wang was being stared at by every individual in the room. It reminded him of the first time Bonehead stared at him. F*k. This time he was screwed.

"Sorry."

Xiao Fei put down the class materials and stared at Wang Zheng wryly. Then she looked towards the audience. "The one who dared to come late is called Wang Zheng. I'm sure he's the only one with this name."

It was a common occurrence for one to forget things, especially regarding things that the individual was not involved with. Wang Zheng, who was at the top of military training, held quite a low profile. Only those around him knew him. Everyone stared at the cocky bastard. He was really brave. Hearing Xiao Fei's unhappy tone, if the class was cancelled because of him…

At the first row of seats, the three experts from Dormitory 007 were feeling extremely resentful. This bastard was bringing shame upon them. If Wang Zheng sat with them, the three would also be affected!

Wang Zheng could feel the fiery gazes that were on him. It felt as though he was about to be set ablaze. Yet Xiao Fei's next words caused him to be absolutely speechless.

"He is my helper and also your class representative. If you have any problems, feel free to find him."

In the end, the wok exploded. Only third year students and above could be assistants! Xiao Fei had never had an assistant prior to this. Everyone knew that the reason was that the assistants were usually too stupid, as stupid as pigs for that matter, and would only bring down the rate of efficiency.

From under which stone did this bastard come crawling from? Since he was Xiao Fei's assistant, it was no wonder that despite arriving so late, Xiao Fei was not angry.

On the contrary, Wang Zheng did not feel that the hatred had diminished. In fact, it felt like it had increased!

Including the three Kings of Dormitory 007, everyone could only take it as it was.

"I cannot accept this. Our dormitory leader is hogging everything for himself!"

"This is a society that shares!"

"We need to have another round of dormitory discussions and do some research on this problem."

Three against one; a unanimous decision was made rather quickly. Our dear Student Wang had no opportunity to explain himself.

The audience now understood for whom the frontmost seat was reserved for. It could be seen that Xiao Fei thought highly of this student.

He originally thought that Xiao Fei's lesson would be extremely boring and uninteresting. Yet in retrospect, Xiao Fei was able to explain extremely complicated issues with simple analogies and it was extremely meaningful.

Everyone listened to her lesson with great gusto and they nodded their heads constantly. Following the great voyage of the universe, physics had become more and more important. More and more individuals wished to understand and explore space. Without a foundation in physics, that would be extremely dumb. It was comparable to one not having any knowledge of the sea but was sailing the seas.

Yet such explanations were meaningless to Wang Zheng. The Old Merchant had explained this a long time ago. To be frank, although it was not as interesting as the way Xiao Fei explained, it was much more incisive. Wang Zheng could still remember the Old Merchant's expression. It was as though he was the king of the realm of physics and everything was in his control.

Of course, all noobs were the same.

The applause was unending. Every student was attentively recording down notes, but Wang Zheng was daydreaming instead.

He was reminiscing one of the mech's abilities. It was simply too beautiful. Whichever genius had designed it was truly a king amongst kings!

Xiao Fei had used a beautiful words to paint a beautiful image of the situation.

It was not that Xiao Fei could not give lectures. It was also not the fact that she could explain complicated issues in a simple matter. Rather, to geniuses, there was no point to this lecture.

The three from Dormitory 007 were sitting behind Wang Zheng. It could clearly be seen that Wang Zheng was daydreaming. What was that bastard doing? Zhang Shan was extremely tall and could see everything that was happening.

Wang Zheng was looking at a mech's blueprints!

Zhang Shan couldn't help but give Wang Zheng a kick. This guy truly did not understand what it meant to die!

Xiao Fei glanced at the entire classroom. "Everything in the world of physics, especially that which cannot be seen, must be seen by you. You must feel it. Thus, in the pursuit of physics, one must be able to dream!"

If a more traditional teacher had heard her words, they would be extremely angry. Yet the students happily accepted these words.

"Your previous achievements are all based on references of others. It is merely an imitation of their understanding and cannot last. But those who are willing to fight will discover and construct something that belongs to themselves. From today onwards, all of you must construct your own world."

Xiao Fei's words had won her an intense round of applause.

Knowing one by reputation cannot be compared to meeting one in person, and by meeting one in person, one will realize how different one can be compared to their reputation.

Gu Te was right outside. Such raucous applause had not been heard for an extremely long time.

A good start was half the battle won.

Xiao Fei's lesson continued. A teacher not only needed to have knowledge but also charisma. Regardless if it was her looks or her style, one first had to grab the attention of the students.

Xiao Fei possessed all 3 qualities: style, looks, and knowledge. It was difficult not to be subdued by her during her class. Yet this also brought about another problem: many students thus worshipped her. Xiao Fei looked upon such things with disdain.

On the other hand, this helped to facilitate her research. As long as one lived, this would be bound to happen.

"Does anyone have any alternate views to this question? Would anyone like to share?" asked Xiao Fei.

Chapter 33: Loose Lips Sink Ships

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

This was a golden opportunity to showcase one's ability in front of Xiao Fei. Suddenly, the hallways were filled with students clamoring to enter the lecture theatre. Some of these students were even from higher year groups.

Yet Xiao Fei's students were still hesitant in answering her question. Showing off one's knowledge to a physics genius was daunting in itself. A student could very well embarrass him or herself in front of the entire Physics Department.

Chen Xiu stood up. "Doctor, I believe that space and time have mass. As we know, this is a major principle underlying physics. However, I also believe that we require new methods for testing this key principle."

It was obvious that this student was still very young. Yet Chen Xiu did not sit there silently; he stood up to share his thoughts. Everyone in the Physics Department knew that there was an extremely talented young individual who possessed the spark which Xiao Fei had when she was younger.

Xiao Fei smiled slightly. Emboldened by his roommate's bravery, Zhang Shan also stood up. "I believe that we don't require a new method to affirm this key principle; rather, it is our concepts themselves that are flawed. Our viewpoint of mass has not changed for a very long time. I believe that we need to free ourselves from this outdated perspective, and only at that point will we be able to discover something new!"

Xiao Fei nodded her head slightly. By voicing their opinions, these two students had everyone else impressed. The audience had to know that these people were from Dormitory 007.

Yao Ailun had already changed back to his black rimmed spectacles to create a more intellectual image. Student Yao, who possessed different colored spectacles for different occasions, felt slightly pressured at this point.

"Time is the movement of space," he began. "In order to understand space, I believe that we have to start by understanding time, and only by doing so can we further our understanding of the subject matter."

Everyone had strong foundations supporting their opinions, but it was very theoretical. One could see the various directions that could shape an individual's research.

These three individuals were intellectually gifted even during middle school, but it was only after they were put before Xiao Fei that they were truly able to showcase their knowledge and stand out from the crowd.

Xiao Fei looked around, eagerly awaiting the next student to contribute. The rest of the audience felt impassioned and wanted to speak up, but they had nothing to talk about! This was one of Xiao Fei's issues with teaching physics. She believed that the vast majority of students typically lacked the creative spark needed for inspiration, a trait that was vital for theoretical physicists. Teaching in such an environment would always dampen Xiao Fei's creative spirit. After all, one would always be influenced by one's environment!

"Wang Zheng, what is your take on this?"

Xiao Fei directed her attention towards Wang Zheng; however, he was absentmindedly lost in his own little world.

Zhang Shan gave his daydreaming friend a swift kick, and Wang Zheng immediately jumped up and exclaimed, "Yes!"

The entire Physics Department burst into laughter. Xiao Fei, however, was not amused. She leaned in to hear his response.

Despite their rivalry in the field of physics, the four students from Dormitory 007 were still, at the end of the day, brothers-in-arms. Yao Ailun hurriedly whispered Wang Zheng the question. Truth be told, the three roommates were all eager to see Wang Zheng's intellectual capabilities.

"I have a hypothesis to make. I believe that right now, the basic approach that we are using is fundamentally flawed. Although it can be used to explain current concepts, future breakthroughs in physics will require a completely different mindset. Take spatial manipulation for instance. The current status quo will need to be altered appropriately before we can truly understand spatial manipulation. Regardless of mass or anything else, our current perspective is simply too narrow-minded."

The entire room erupted into discussion, criticizing Wang Zheng's answer. F*k! This guy was just too full of himself! Making unsubstantiated claims and stepping all over the efforts of the scientific community was the height of arrogance!

"Tell us why you believe this is so. The objective of my classes is to put an end to ignorance. As such, never be afraid of making mistakes," said Xiao Fei.

"Let us start with Newton's Laws. With the discovery of the Theory of Relativity, it could be said that the pre-existing laws were no longer sufficient. The same can be said for today. We must first include all 13 dimensions into our discussion. Mass, space, and time are just building upon the 3-Dimensional Theory, with the 4th dimension being a foundation for this. Laolun Li's Warp Theory is basically another form of the 13 Dimensions Theory of Existence; however, he has only used the scenarios from the 6-Dimensional Theory. That being said, his theory is the most modern one yet. From this, I feel that we can make a reasonable assumption. Since the Warp Theory has already been proven to be correct, we can justifiably hypothesize that the 13 Dimensions Theory is correct. In such a situation, time, space, and mass' current problems are all research directions that do not have conflicting paths."

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, the entire classroom fell deathly silent. Everyone was shocked.

His words were filled with a conviction that could surpass Laolun Li's. Wang Zheng's knowledge was truly astounding!

There were those in the audience who understood a little and felt that Wang Zheng's hypothesis did make logical sense, while there were those in the crowd who were convinced that his ramblings were nonsense. And then there were those who did not understand any part of Wang Zheng's speech.

"Have you read Laolun Li's Warp Theory?" asked Xiao Fei.

"I've have read it several times. It is truly a great achievement of its time," replied Wang Zheng.

This was not Wang Zheng's own opinion. Rather, it was something that had been brainwashed into him by the Old Merchant. Over time, Laolun Li's Warp Theory had lost its plausibility in the field of physics. However, the Old Merchant criticized that there were still many in the scientific community who wholeheartedly supported the redundant theory. It was a pity that there were so many fools passing off as scientists, the Old Merchant would say.

Xiao Fei let out a large smile. Wang Zheng's bearings and tone were similar to hers back when she was just entering the field of theoretical physics! Yet he was even more overbearing and arrogant! At the very least when she was a young physicist, Xiao Fei still had respect for other scientists. She even worshipped Laolun Li!

Everyone else was astonished. Was this b*stard faking it? Could he actually understand the theory? Had he really read it several times?

"I share Wang Zheng's views. Physics today has become mired in restrictive mindsets, and this has limited our capacity for improvements in the field of study. I want everyone to understand that my curriculum will not advocate this old-fashioned mindset but will instead pursue an open-minded and unrestricted approach! An entirely new foray into theoretical physics awaits us from today!"

The applause was thunderous. Wang Zheng could feel a burning sensation on his back. He really wanted to kick himself! Why did he have such loose lips! He had said too much. After his insightful speech, Xiao Fei would never let him leave the Physics Department!

"Damned Old Merchant." Wang Zheng cursed. His mentor had fostered in him the habit of debate. Once Wang Zheng started, he could not stop himself.

The school bell sounded, signaling the end of class. Everyone could still feel a sense of longing. It was unfortunate that Professor Xiao Fei did not like to waste time conducting a QA session. Instead, she had asked for questions to be directly sent to her public Skylink. Additionally, she would only answer questions worth answering.

"Wang Zheng, follow me!"

Wang Zheng was currently fooling around with his roommates, sharing information on whom the pretty girls were. At this time, Xiao Fei's order pulled Wang Zheng away from their in-depth discussion.

Watching the two physics geniuses depart, the three kings of Dormitory 007 grumbled in annoyance.

"At this rate, before the days has passed, our dormitory leader will have an extremely high profile among the females in our cohort!"

"Ah, as fellow brothers-in-arms, we need to share the burden and help him out!"

"We must make sure Wang Zheng does not die a premature death," Chen Xiu declared. "I'm the youngest of the four of us, and therefore I can share a larger portion of the burden!"

Zhang Shan and Yao Ailun immediately strangled the youngest one.

After arriving at her office, Xiao Fei removed her jacket and threw it into a corner, inadvertently exposing her curves. She collapsed into a chair and sighed in relief. Noticing Wang Zheng's blushing face, she gave a slight smile and commented, "As a teacher, I have to act as a role model for students, which requires me to pay attention to how I dress. But this jacket is just too uncomfortable."

Wang Zheng was speechless. He was a student too!

"Professor, do you have any instructions for me?"

"Ah. You performed well in today's lessons. I do not care about your situation with the Mecha Department. I forbid you from missing any of my lessons, and you must complete all of the work I assign you," warned Xiao Fei.

Wang Zheng could only nod in response. This beautiful teacher held Wang Zheng in the palm of her hand, and he truly did not dare defy her orders.

"I will strive to perform my best, even at the cost of my life!" Wang Zheng proclaimed.

"You do not need to exaggerate; however, I do appreciate your conviction. This is rarely seen in the Physics Department. Do you know what the most important thing is to a physicist?"

Xiao Fei asked this with the intention of testing Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng absently rubbed his nose while in thought. As someone who did not aspire to become a physicist, this question was extremely difficult. He remained silent, awaiting Xiao Fei's answer.

"Math," Xiao Fei began. "Physics began as an imaginary ideal consisting of observations and guesses. Rather, it was the inclusion of math that proved many a scientific hypothesis. As such, having a strong understanding of mathematics will greatly increase your affinity for physics. Wang Zheng, I want you to visit the Mathematics Department when you are free. Perhaps you will be able to meet someone who can complement your views."

Student Wang felt as though his head was going to explode. He hated all things related to formulae, as formulaic questions were typically very time consuming. However, regardless of his aversion to mathematics, he had no choice but to follow Xiao Fei's orders. As she made clear at the start of their conversation, her word was law.

"Okay, please bring these materials to Professor Marcus from the Mathematics Department. Remember to leave a good impression!"

Xiao Fei patted Wang Zheng. She was confident that her protégé would turn out to be an extraordinary physicist. If only he would lose his infatuation with the Mecha Department. However, she reasoned that there was still plenty of time; she was definitely going to bring Wang Zheng back onto the right road, and teach him that mecha battles and whatnot were all beneath him. Only the boundless sciences were truly eternal.

Wang Zheng took the materials and rushed out of the office. Although he was grateful to Xiao Fei for recognizing his abilities, he was still strongly against pursuing a career in research. Truth be told, his knowledge was all due to conversing with the Old Merchant on such topics. As such, his knowledge still had many gaps. Wang Zheng was worried that one day, he would be exposed as a fraud and his inability would come to light.

In the Mathematics Department's 4th year classroom, Marcus was furiously scribbling on the blackboard. "This question is the final test for your semester. Whoever is able to answer this will get an A!"

Such was Marcus' erratic personality. Every semester, the Math Professor would give a "bounty." The first student to complete it would receive the best results.

It should be noted that in the field of science, Earth did not possess the highest academic standards. That being said, Earth did have a reputation for maintaining her position as one of the best, and she did not deteriorate in standards at the same rate as others.

All of the 4th year students immediately sat straight. If they were successful, not only would they receive excellent results for the semester, but they would also become famous!

Each field had their own struggles and pride.

Wang Zheng took half a day to find Marcus' office. Marcus looked as though he was 60 years old. His hair was extremely messy like a pile of grass, and he was also dressed quite slovenly.

"Professor Marcus, these are the materials that Professor Xiao Fei instructed me to bring."

Marcus was too lazy to even lift his head in acknowledgement. His table was full of materials that stacked up to the ceiling. "Place it on the table, then you can go."

"Oh, and also, in classroom T-6, there is a mathematical sheet on the teaching podium. Please pass it to Xiao Fei and tell her she owes me a favor."

"Yes, Professor."

Despite his aversion to all things math related, Wang Zheng felt the utmost respect for those who were able to calculate complex mathematical balances. However, if it were to come to him, he would politely decline such a task.

After locating classroom T-6, Wang Zheng entered and searched the teacher's podium for Marcus' mathematical sheet. The classroom was mostly empty; only a few students had remained, scratching their heads as they attempted to solve Marcus' final semester question. While Wang Zheng was searching for the mathematical sheet, he saw the question on the blackboard.

After scanning through it, he could not bear to leave. The Old Merchant used to give him questions to do every week. If he solved them correctly, he would get a reward. Otherwise, he would be punished by the Old Merchant. Ever since the Old Merchant left, Wang Zheng's life had become quite boring. In truth, he even missed the math questions that the Old Merchant used to assign him.

This question did have some meaning to it.

This should be part of an arithmetic calculation. It looked to be Romeo's Equation's General Solution, as taught to Wang Zheng by the Old Merchant.

Wang Zheng started to scribble on the blackboard. There were still 7 to 8 students in the classroom, and they were shocked to see a Physics Department student messing with their work! As if some physics student could solve Marcus' final semester question! Some students truly did not know their place!

Historically, physicists were renowned for the same achievements: advancing the sciences with new laws and theories. However, what most people did not realize was that many notable physicists had relied on their mathematical abilities to begin with. Advances in physics were only made possible by mathematicians. Without them, physics would be nothing more than mere speculation.

Chapter 34: MMA Club

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

This Physics Department guy was just too much. Who the hell did he think he was?

Wang Zheng ignored the insults from the Math students, as he was absorbed into solving the equation. Although the math problem was tricky and deviated from what he was used to, it was still within his capabilities. Besides, the deviation was only very slight. Wang Zheng preferred to finish what he had started.

After spending an hour on the problem, Wang Zheng had more or less completed it. He exhaled in relief as he checked the time. Sh*t! It was already 2 PM! This activity had taken up so much of his time! Wang Zheng quickly rushed out of the math classroom and ran towards Xiao Fei's office.

As Wang Zheng left, the Math Department students were left absolutely speechless, their eyes wide in shock. Some of them were muttering curses under their breath while others were even making rude gestures.

Wang Zheng walked away, leaving behind him a deathly silent classroom.

After finishing his task, Wang Zheng had no more trouble from Xiao Fei. She was very busy and did not have time to constantly fuss over her protégé. She simply reminded him to attend her classes punctuality.

After his ordeal with Xiao Fei, Wang Zheng went for a quick lunch before heading over to the MMA club. In a regular school, such clubs would typically be less popular than other more conventional clubs. However, as this was a military school, the MMA club was one of the three largest and most popular clubs.

As a result, the space allocated to the MMA club was extremely large. The school had even allocated a special area to the club, specifically for sparring purposes. The club's facilities were truly lavish and extravagant.

"Hello, who might you be looking for?" a pretty girl asked.

"Hi Miss, I'm here to join the MMA club. Student Meng Tian recommended that I sign up."

It was expected that polite individuals were treated better, and the pretty girl was happy at the way Wang Zheng had addressed her. "You're really good with words ; ) The Vice President is here, just follow this corridor to the end and make a right turn. They are currently in training."

Wang Zheng politely nodded his head before following the pretty girl's directions. Before long, he could hear muffled sounds of grunting, and he felt restless with anticipation.

He emerged from the corridor into a wide open training area. There were over 10 students energetically sparring with one another. Meng Tian was one of these students. Wang Zheng watched as she elegantly smashed her sparring partner back with a single kick. It was truly a sight to behold.

Although her sparring partner was wearing rubber guards, she yelped in pain as both of her arms went numb.

There were both male and female members in the MMA club, and Wang Zheng was surprised to find that a third of the members were female. Traditionally, women did not pursue such aggressive sports, but it seemed as if the women of today were more proactive in learning how to protect themselves.

What Wang Zheng was most concerned about was what the training facilities provided. A quick scan of the area showed a complete set of training equipment. But Wang Zheng was even more impressed by the gravity room[1]. There was a sign next to the door that warned people against entering the gravity room while it was in use. F*ck, this was too extravagant!

Conventional training methods could no longer satisfy Wang Zheng. As such, having a gravity room at his disposal was absolutely wonderful news.

When Meng Tian saw Wang Zheng, she immediately walked over to greet him. "I told you, didn't I?" she said, pride evident in her speech.

Wang Zheng did not hesitate in giving his response. "This is great! I would love to join the MMA club!"

"Meng Tian, who is this b*stard? He can't be from the Mecha Department, right? I've never seen him around before." An obnoxious-looking guy commented as he strode over to join the conversation.

Actually, this guy was staring daggers at Wang Zheng. He did not like how Meng Tian had chosen to approach Wang Zheng, and judging from her body language, it appeared that she was giving him preferential treatment!

"Wang Zheng is from the Physics Department," Meng Tian replied. "Student Wang, this is Senior Guan Tao from the Mecha Department. He is also a Vice President of the MMA club."

Guan Tao gave a smile and extended his hand. "Ah! So, you're the Wang Zheng that Xiao Tian has been talking about! I am Guan Tao, Vice President of the MMA club and also Vice Captain of the Dragon God Corps."

Wang Zheng returned the handshake. "Our school still employs mercenary soldiers?" he asked.

"Yes, in CT. The Dragon God Corps is considered to be the best team in the Asian Region. Our team Captain is Ma Xiao, who is also the MMA club's President."

Guan Tao smiled cheerfully at Wang Zheng before suddenly flexing his muscles to tighten his grip on their handshake. Yet Wang Zheng's expression did not change. He nonchalantly replied, "It is an honor to meet you, Senior Guan Tao."

Meng Tian laughed. Wang Zheng had never even heard of Guan Tao or Ma Xiao before; what honor was there in him meeting them?

Guan Tao saw that Wang Zheng did not even flinch at his deathly tight handshake. It was impressive that while Wang Zheng's build was not particularly large, his grip strength was still quite monstrous! But Guan Tao still did not back down from attempting to scare his junior. "Xiao Tian, you know the club rules. As Wang Zheng is not from the Mecha Department, he has to pass a test before he can enter the MMA club."

Meng Tian nodded her head. "I agree. Wang Zheng, shall we spar for a bit?"

Guan Tao quickly stepped in, saying, "You don't need to worry, I will spar with him! And besides, I am free for the afternoon." He turned to Wang Zheng. "Student Wang, follow me to the sparring area! Do not worry, I will be gentle."

Despite his beguiling words, Guan Tao had every intention of humiliating Wang Zheng! Everyone in the vicinity was watching them. Guan Tao was going to properly discipline this b*stard and make an example of him to the rest of the MMA club.

"Come, pick whatever weapon strikes your fancy! We have wooden swords, nunchucks, and a whole lot more."

Guan Tao gestured towards a rack of weapons. With a competition about to start, the surrounding students halted their sparring and gathered around the Vice President and the new guy.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "It would be better if we kept things simple."

"Did this guy just offend Guan Tao?"

"He is such an idiot! Remember that one guy who flirted with Meng Tian? Guan Tao put him in the hospital!"

"I think the new guy is just unnecessarily stirring up trouble. Meng Tian doesn't like this sort of guy. The Captain is a much better fit for her!"

"How would you know? Maybe Meng Tian likes this sort of guy."

"Who does this chump think he is? Coming in here and making a scene?!"

"Who knows? Although, I do think newbies need to be taught a lesson! They need to know their place!"

Wang Zheng ignored the hushed whispers. He took off his shoes and stood on the sparring platform. Guan Tao was already waiting in front of him with a combat stance.

"Bring it!" Guan Tao beckoned with his hand. As a senior and a leader of the club, he had a reputation to uphold.

In front of such a large audience, Wang Zheng could not help but show off his skills. He slowly walked over to Guan Tao, and as he lifted his arm, he lashed out in a kick.

Plonk.

Guan Tao was knocked onto the floor. He lay there dazed, sprawled like a frog on its back.

Everyone was shocked. This was totally unexpected! Guan Tao was angry now, and he did a kip up to get back on his feet. This b*stard was too sneaky; he feinted with his arm and got a surprise attack in!

Little did he know that Wang Zheng was merely playing with him.

Guan Tao launched a flashy flying kick aimed at Wang Zheng's head. Wang Zheng took a step forward and grabbed Guan Tao's leg before throwing him aside.

Bang

Some people in the audience could not help but look away. This was embarrassing – a Vice President of the MMA club was being thrashed by a new member!

Guan Tao was thrown with such force that his head spun from the impact. All he could see were stars.

A few students hurriedly rushed over to support him, but Guan Tao angrily refused them. "You b*stard! You have signed your death warrant! I will make you wish you were never born!"

Wang Zheng shook his head helplessly. Throughout the entirety of the fight, Wang Zheng had treated his opponent with respect. Wang Zheng made sure to not destroy his opponent too easily, as that would not do well for the MMA club's reputation. Wang Zheng did not know why Guan Tao was so keen on competing with him, but this aggression was clearly uncalled for! Wang Zheng's patience was nearing its limits.

Guan Tao executed a roundhouse kick towards Wang Zheng's head. If the opponent was a newbie, he or she would have been seriously injured and would require a prolonged visit to the hospital!

Thump

Wang Zheng's left hand grasped Guan Tao's ankle. With a bit of force, Guan Tao was caught in Wang Zheng's body lock. Grunting with the exertion, Wang Zheng raised his opponent up and threw him directly into a wall.

Bang!

Guan Tao was plastered onto the wall by the sheer force of the throw. Gradually, his body slid down the wall and he crumpled on the floor, white foam frothing out of his mouth.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "The Vice President was too aggressive, so it took all I had just to dodge. I had to retaliate!"

It was obvious that the audience regarded him with fear and anger. After all, Wang Zheng did just stroll into their home ground and knock out their Vice President. But if Wang Zheng could not get these people to like him, he would just have to get them to fear him.

Student Wang was not one who was afraid of taking a stand. This MMA club had no right treating newcomers so aggressively!

Meng Tian observed the sparring match with a wry smile. It was said that when she smiled, the break in her icy demeanor was like the thawing of an icy winter into a warm, inviting spring.

"I knew you were experienced. Come. If you beat me, I will allow you to join the MMA club."

"Can we not fight? I would rather not hit a lady."

"Treat me like you would a guy. Trust me, if you don't come at me seriously, you will regret it."

Meng Tian's directness made Wang Zheng smile. "If that's the case, then I won't be holding back. Please." He motioned for her to step onto the sparring platform.

Meng Tian tightened her belt and tied her hair back. She struck a fighting pose and suddenly, a frightening aura could be felt emanating from her.

Wang Zheng was slightly taken back. Perhaps he had underestimated his dear classmate Meng Tian.

Whoosh

Meng Tian immediately launched a flying kick at Wang Zheng. It was completely different from the flashy kick Guan Tao had executed. Meng Tian's footwork was precise and fast. With her light and flexible body, Meng Tian flew through the air. Her kick seemed like a bolt of lightning.

She was definitely not a novice.

She was definitely an expert.

Wang Zheng stepped back as he took the force of her kick. Pressing her advantage, Meng Tian flashed out with kick after kick, demonstrating her experience with an array of advanced foot techniques. All around them, there were people shouting in excitement, screaming their support for the Vice President. It was clear that as a freshmen, Meng Tian did not become a VP solely based on her looks. Rather, it was her adept skills as a MMA fighter that truly kicked up a storm amongst the MMA club's members and enabled her to win their support.

Meng Tian's abilities far surpassed that of Guan Tao's. To compare the two would be laughable. Guan Tao's skills were completely amateurish, whereas Meng Tian's were professional and elegant.

Meng Tian's assault grew more savage and relentless. Wang Zheng could feel the wind sweeping across his face as her kicks flashed before his eyes. Being able to watch Meng Tian's body execute these moves was truly a sight to behold. It was absolutely graceful and beautiful.

However, Meng Tian did not share his admiration and sentiment. Rather, she was agitated that Wang Zheng was not retaliating at all!

The surrounding MMA club members were screaming their support for the Vice President. Meng Tian's assault was so vicious that her opponent could only retreat with his tail tucked away between his legs!

Meng Tian's combo of attacks finally reached its peak, and the last kick lashed towards Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng retreated yet again; however, Meng Tian had already anticipated it. She intercepted his backpedaling with a lightning fast forward kick! Her move was fast, precise, and deadly.

All of a sudden, Wang Zheng's unstable body posture transformed into a confident stance with no weaknesses. He deftly pulled her leg forward, forcing Meng Tian off balance. At the same time, he sidestepped and positioned himself beneath Meng Tian's stomach region, right hand grasping her right knee and his left hand grabbing her arms.

With a slight grin, he said, "Student Meng Tian is just too amazing. I am only here to join the club. Does this match prove that I have the ability to join?"

Meng Tian realized that she was unable to escape from his grappling maneuver. She clenched her teeth in frustration; it was clear that Wang Zheng was giving her face. In this position, there was a number of moves Wang Zheng could perform that would put Meng Tian out of commission.

Meng Tian bit her lip and nodded her head, and only then did Wang Zheng release her leg. As he did so, he thought to himself that grabbing her thigh felt amazing.

"Wang Zheng will enter the MMA club. Does anyone have any objections?" Meng Tian announced.

The audience members looked at each other in dismay. This b*stard could crush Guan Tao, and he was skilled enough to suppress Meng Tian! Whoever fought him would get wrecked!

"Welcome to the club, Wang Zheng."

Student Wang was beaming as he prepared to shake Meng Tian's hand. "Thank you. I look forward to receiving your guidance, Madam Vice President."

Meng Tian leaned in close to Wang Zheng and whispered, "I bet copping a feel felt nice. However, you won't be so lucky next time!"

Student Wang's face flushed red in embarrassment. F*ck! It was just for a brief moment! May God have mercy on his soul!

After Meng Tian finished her announcement, she did not bother Wang Zheng and instead went to take a shower. Once Meng Tian left, no one paid any more attention to the new member. Wang Zheng received a training uniform and excitedly put it on.

He was ecstatic to have such a large training area that was so well equipped! At Ares College, club activities were not held after 8 PM. As such, the whole place would be completely empty. If Wang Zheng were to use the training facilities at that time, he would basically have the whole place to himself! Once he obtained the keys from the administration, he would be able to use the facilities to his heart's content!

Wang Zheng was not satisfied with his current physical condition. What he lacked was explosive strength. This was due to his environment and his genetics; there was never any opportunity to train for such a purpose. As such, Wang Zheng realized that there was plenty of room to improve his body's explosive strength.

After he trained for the Leaning Landslide, his entire body's explosive strength had made minute improvements. However, Wang Zheng felt that only having this sort of skill was not enough. Explosive strength for individual limbs was also necessary.

Wang Zheng was not worried about the accumulation of Battle Energy. But he was concerned about wanting to impress Skeleton at their next encounter. Wang Zheng was determined to not let Skeleton look down on the Wargods of Earth.

When he was a kid, Wang Zheng's father would regale him all sorts of mystical stories. One of these stories talked about martial arts experts training their breathing cultivation techniques, which allowed them to run on walls and soar through the air. In the blink of an eye, these masters would annihilate their enemies with these mystical techniques.

Chapter 35: Mysterious Genius

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

These stories were usually exaggerated, meant to incite the listener to take up the proper training directives. After all, simply learning a couple of mystical techniques would not make one all-powerful. To improve one's physical ability, one had to start from the basics.

For example, finger strength.

Conventional push-ups did not do much for Wang Zheng. Neither did one arm pushups. They were simply too easy. But what about single finger push-ups? Maybe that training standard would help push Wang Zheng's capabilities a little further.

Plonk

Wang Zheng fell to the floor from his finger push-up attempt. He slowly picked himself up off the floor, and a dumb smile could be seen on his face.

After that failed attempt, he continued to experiment with single finger push-ups.

Maybe it was due to Bonehead's training, but Wang Zheng was now obsessed with fervently training himself. He started doing push-ups with 5 fingers before gradually reducing the number of fingers.

Doing it this way allowed Wang Zheng's finger strength to increase. Even if he could not consistently perform at this standard, Wang Zheng was determined not to return to doing conventional push-ups. Backpedaling would not allow him to improve.

There was no meaning in lying to himself.

After his countless attempts, Wang Zheng was absolutely battered and exhausted, but he kept that large smile on his face. Having found a new level of difficulty, he was ecstatic at another method of improving himself.

A new day had come. While the tough military training had initially been hard on the students, everyone was slowly acclimatizing to the strict regime and was settling into their daily routine.

Dormitory 007 had democratically reached a very important decision… on which girl would best suit each guy.

It was agreed that Zhang Shan would have dibs on Meng Tian. No one else was allowed to pursue her. In Zhang Shan's own words: "The harder it is to reach her, the more I want her."

Yao Ailun's target was An Mei. To him, the cold, uncaring beauty was undoubtedly the sexiest.

Chen Xiu was focused on Du Qingqing. Student Chen had always felt that age was the most important factor. For him, lolis were simply the best. The other girls were all too old.

As for Ye Zisu, everyone agreed that she was Wang Zheng's property. Even though Wang Zheng did not contribute to the discussion, everyone else felt that there was definitely potential for a romance to blossom between the two.

Admittedly, Wang Zheng did not even attempt to oppose the discussion's outcome. After all, the three were free to say whatever they liked. Besides, Wang Zheng distractedly thought that his current exercise-focused life was much more fulfilling.

That being said, it was not that Wang Zheng had no opinion on the discussion. Wang Zheng simply thought it was unfeasible that someone like him could ever date a girl like Ye Zisu. After all, it was not as if an opportunity like that would ever come about.

F*ck. Wang Zheng felt slightly depressed from that realization.

After extracting himself from the animated discussion, Wang Zheng forced himself to cheer up before leaving the dormitory to attend his daily classes. He was determined to focus on his studies, and as such, he had allocated ample time for courses in the physics and mecha curriculums. Reminding himself that Xiao Fei would crucify him if he missed any classes, he made sure to prioritize her lessons on his schedule.

On the second day, everyone had settled into their respective departments. The teaching staff had started their syllabuses, and the students were getting used to the ever-increasing workload. It was said that this batch of first year students at Ares College were unusually diligent, and few would skip their classes.

In the math classroom, the atmosphere was strangely chilly.

Class had officially started 30 minutes ago, but Professor Marcus was preoccupied with the scribbles on the blackboard. His students were all whispering amongst themselves. Could the answer actually be correct?

Marcus suddenly turned around, his eyes sweeping across the classroom like a snake looking for its next victim. He slammed his palm on the blackboard and everyone jumped in their seats.

"Who wrote this?"

His expression looked as though it could devour someone. The students looked at one another in dismay. Even if they wanted to answer the question, they would not have written it on the blackboard! It was simply unfeasible to do so! Answers would have been passed to the Professor privately instead of being displayed so brazenly in the classroom.

Marcus suddenly realized that his expression was frightening his students, so he tried to ease them by letting out a smile. "Who wrote this? I have been teaching mathematics at this college for five years, and my time here has led me to believe that this place is only full of pigs. But I admit that it was shallow of me to think so. No, this here is the work of a genius! It is my first time seeing such an answer. It is…beautiful. No, it is extremely refined!"

Marcus had an expression of ecstasy on his face. Most people could only duplicate answers, but to formulate something original was a skill to be admired! And this mystery student had discovered a whole new path to solving this question! It was absolutely wonderful! In fact, reading this methodology helped Marcus take his understanding of equations to a whole new level!

His students were still looking at one another in dismay. Everyone knew that Marcus was only teaching at Ares College because of Xiao Fei. Both of them were partners and rivals in academia. However, Marcus was extremely competitive, and if he were to find out that his department was beaten by another department, there would be hell to pay!

At this point, a student raised his hand and stuttered, "I d-d-don't recognize him, b-but it was done by a student from another department. H-h-he wrote it."

Marcus chuckled at the student and said, "That is impossible. This is an equation that is only taught to 4th year students. If a Mathematics Department student could do it, he or she would be considered a genius. If some other department's student were capable of math to this degree, well, we all might as well resign from a career in math!"

At this point, everyone was certain that Marcus was not just being sarcastic in his admiration for the mystery student's scribbles. This was because Marcus was known for being an extremely harsh critic; he had a reputation for viciously tearing apart a student's calculations and workings and making them regret pursuing a career in mathematics.

Another student raised his hand. "I think he's from the Physics Department."

"Yes, he was wearing the Physics Department's uniform. He was not a senior; I think he should either be in his first or second year."

Marcus was speechless. A second year physics student? Impossible.

Marcus was no longer in the mood to conduct his lesson. "All of you, write this answer down. This is an entirely new method of approaching the problem. I don't expect any of you to recognize the significance of it, but such an answer is, at the very least, worthy of a prize in the Sol Federation."

The Math Department was taken back. What the f*ck?! Surely he was exaggerating!

Did Ares College really have such a genius?

And he was not even a math student!

It was absolutely outrageous!

Marcus immediately rushed to Principal Gu Te's office, and he anxiously explained himself.

Gu Te was flabbergasted. "Professor Marcus, your requests have always been taken seriously by the school. Could you tell us more about this student? Who is he and what department is he from?"

Marcus stared blankly at the Principal. "I don't know. I only know that he is from the Physics Department and is either in his first or second year."

Gu Te was speechless and could only let out a bitter smile. "That description is honestly quite vague. There are many students in year 1 and year 2. It might take some time; however, you do not need to worry. I will wholeheartedly search for him. After all, discovering a student's hidden talent is always a good thing."

Marcus could finally relax. "Okay, please expedite this search. I will pass on his mathematical proof to the Sol Federation's Mathematical Society for their inspection. I honestly believe that winning a prize with this mystery student's work is not out of the question."

"It is that impressive?" Gu Te was shocked.

"Of course it is! I would not rush down to the Principal's office just to report some sub-standard piece of work. Do you think I am that free?" Marcus glared at Gu Te.

Gu Te was helpless. This year was a particularly troublesome year for him because he was focused on nurturing a group of particularly talented students.

Students usually approached the first week of classes with enthusiasm and gusto, but once the weekend arrived, everyone wanted to relax. The moment class ended on Friday, Yan Xiaosu rushed over to the Physics Department to find Wang Zheng.

"Boss, my Commerce Department is filled with beauties! You should come over!"

"Are you sure?"

"Wang Zheng, you can't turn down my offer! You should know best after having spent some time in the Physics Department! It is a stomping ground for dinosaurs! All of them are probably from the Jurassic period! The ones in the Mathematics Department aren't much better either; they are probably from the Cretaceous period. My Commerce Department is completely different; the guy to girl ratio is about 1:4! Ah~, I am in heaven!"

But Yan Xiaosu's facial expression softened. "However, I have to admit that the most beautiful girls are all in the Officers Department. It is quite a pity."

Wang Zheng nodded his head. "Ye Zisu's friends are all exceptionally pretty."

Upon hearing that, Yan Xiaosu's eyes filled up with tears. "Boss, you've met her friends? How could you forget to invite me? We grew up together! I've known you since you were a baby! We even shared the same pair of pants!"

"Get out of here! Who wants to share a pair of pants with you?!"

"I don't care! I just want to meet beautiful girls. Please introduce me to some, I beg you. If you don't, I will tell Ye Zisu that you have been cheating on her!" Yan Xiaosu said desperately.

"Wow, that is a low blow. Fine. Next time, if there is a mixer, you can take my place. I have no interest in those sorts of outings."

"Thanks, Bro, I really appreciate it! Come, let's go and relax. My treat!"

Yan Xiaosu's method of relaxation turned out to be a visit to the Net Bar to fight a few CT rounds. Once the Boss of Brothers Net Café saw Yan Xiaosu, his face lit up with happiness. Xiaosu couldn't let the Boss down, and as such, he swiped his credit card several times. Oh, the privileges of being rich!

Upon entering the game, Student Yan abandoned Wang Zheng and went off to search for a more experienced battle partner. This was because he had not played CT in a long time, and he wanted an expert to help carry him through a fight.

When Wang Zheng entered CT, he received a notification from CT's Asia Region team, requesting for him to participate in a battle. However, Wang Zheng was not sure if the pre-arranged fight was still valid, as it had been a long time since he had logged onto CT. He quickly replied to the mail, confirming his availability to participate in a match.

But to his surprise, the moment he sent his confirmation, the CT Asian Region Team immediately fired back a response.

At their office, the CT Asian Region team was suddenly filled with activity. Office workers were rushing about trying to set up a match on short notice. In fact, Solon himself was personally handling certain matters. He had already found the perfect opponent for Skeleton.

This was not a random battle; it was a pre-arranged fight.

The system released an announcement.

1 VS 1 Battle: Skeleton VS Wild King

All of a sudden, the normally silent player base erupted into excitement. Such a high-profile match was completely unexpected! The players were surprised as there weren't any marketing campaigns advertising this event.

The players were all too curious to find out more details about the match. Who was this Wild King? What rank was he? Was he the one to challenge Skeleton?

Wild King turned out to be the American Region's No. 1 Scout for 3 consecutive months! It was said that he was an expert in using the Moon Army's high level mech, the Light Cavalry Type D.

Wild King was also known for his strength and sharp senses. He had a reputation for being the American Region's most passionate and cocky b*stard, but he clearly had the skills to back it up. Wild King was also a diamond-ranked expert.

What sort of style would he use?

Was he going to use his Light Cavalry Mech?

It was expected that Wild King would not take advantage of his enemy. As a diamond level player, Wild King would be an expert in any mech. Furthermore, Wild King was known to be a scout, and as such, he was an all-rounder and well-suited for any style.

But why was the popular Wild King so willing to fight? A diamond-ranked player fighting a low-ranking player was a rare occasion indeed!

When the battle was announced, everyone's interest was piqued. Not only did the server announcement attract the attention of players in the beginner arena, it also attracted those in the expert arena.

Solon was extremely calm. This was what he was looking for, a highly prestigious fight with lots of publicity! It would allow him to charge high viewing fees.

Wargod No. 1 VS Wargod No. 1 – Who was the stronger Wargod?

Solon felt that the battle could go either way. Both Skeleton and Wild King had an equal chance of winning. If it were not for Skeleton's high level of skills displayed during his previous match, Solon would never have dared to arrange a battle with such a high-ranking player like Wild King. However, Solon did not expect Skeleton's gunner skills to be of such a high caliber. After witnessing the previous battle, Solon decided to take the gamble and organize the match.

That being said, this plan was not without risks.

Solon knew the risks of sending a new player into a battle with Wild King; even a player as skilled as Skeleton would have a hard time! Solon could potentially be destroying Skeleton's career as a CT legend!

Over the past few months, Wild King had been growing in popularity in the expert arena. If he could maintain his leaderboard ranking for a bit longer, he would have the qualifications to challenge Earth's strongest "Emperor" placing.

Arranging the fight was simple. Paying Wild King to fight was just a small part of it. Rather, if his opponent was too unskilled, Wild King would not have accepted the proposal. However, after watching Skeleton's past gameplay videos, Wild King could not refuse Solon's request.

It was as simple as that. Wild King wanted a proper challenge. As such, he decided to use only basic mecha, and that would be the basis of his match with Skeleton.

Scouting was a job that involved dancing on the edge of a knife.

The more dangerous the task, the more exhilarating the fight.

Truth be told, Wild King was not unfamiliar with the Wargod No. 1. It was a mech that he had used for several years. While there were numerous other better, stronger mecha, Wild King believed that using the Wargod No. 1 would refine his precision for controlling a mech. However, he did not use the Wargod No. 1 in the beginner's arena; rather, he challenged himself by fighting bronze-ranked players. Wild King's achievements were truly quite glorious, but once his identity was discovered, he ceased all usage of the Wargod No. 1.

Wild King saw himself in his opponent, tackling challenges from a disadvantageous position, climbing the leaderboard with a sub-par mech; the similarities were truly uncanny.

Perhaps this Skeleton player was also using the Wargod No. 1 as a method of training himself. As such, Wild King relished the thought of beating such a confident b*stard.

Sitting in the cockpit, Wild King could feel the adrenaline coursing through him. This was it, he thought to himself. The thrill of the hunt.

Pilots who were able to proficiently control scouting mecha were generally very well-rounded. They could typically fill multiple roles in a team roster. Notably, Wild King was also the European Region's most outstanding new player, and he was undeniably talented even among the diamond ranks.

This battle was going to be interesting. A battle between two Wargod No. 1s…

It could be said that expert scout pilots would master the Wargod No. 1 before moving on to other mecha. For Wild King, sitting in the Wargod No. 1's virtual cockpit was like riding a bicycle. He felt completely at ease.

Battleground selection:

Map: Big Dipper Western Wilderness

The arena was based in the wilderness biome, and it was typically suited to direct 1v1 duels. Due to the direct confrontation of players on the map, the winner would have to succeed based purely on skill. There would be no tricks or gimmicks for players to take advantage of.

Wild King Wargod No. 1's armament… Random.

Skeleton Wargod No. 1's armament… Laser Rifle.

Perhaps it was due to Wang Zheng's recent shooting lesson, but lately he had been leaning towards ranged combat. Wang Zheng felt extremely comfortable with the laser rifle. Wild King, on the other hand, received the alloy blade knife.

… What kind of situation was this?

Chapter 36: Indescribable Respect

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Every spectator was shocked! In the Big Dipper Wilderness Map, having a mere alloy blade knife was considered suicide! With Skeleton's gun skills, Wild King was as good as defeated!

The two mecha entered the north-western part of the wilderness. When looking out over the endless plains, one could feel an electricity in the air. The atmosphere was tense.

Wild King spun the alloy blade knife in the palm of his hand, and he smiled to himself. His luck wasn't bad! He got to challenge a laser rifle user with a simple alloy blade knife! He was truly at a disadvantage…and he loved the thrill of it.

Meanwhile, the chatbox was filled with excited viewers spamming their support for Skeleton. Skeleton was the representative of the beginner arena. Furthermore, most of the spectators regarded Wild King as being too arrogant. Picking a random weapon and acting so pretentiously; Skeleton would knock him down a peg or two and teach him to not look down on other players!

However, Skeleton made a move which caused the entire chatbox to fall silent.

The Wargod No. 1 unequipped his laser rifle. F*ck, what kind of battle was this?

For Wild King, this action surprised him too. He was the most popular and skilled scout in the American Region! This action…was too much.

Wild King grew even more ecstatic. Opting for a full-on brawl and abandoning his ranged advantage? It was the first time he had met such an interesting individual! Wild King's Wargod No. 1 also unequipped his alloy blade knife.

The wind howled around the two mecha. In the blink of an eye, the two Wargod No. 1s charged at each other.

"Good morning, everyone. Most people should be quite up to date with the circumstances behind this battle. I am Young Deer, THE Young Deer who likes to drink milk. I am here to shed some light on the backgrounds of these two high-profile players! Wild King's true identity is Apollo College's Mecha Department's first year student. It is important to note that he was specially enrolled into Apollo College. He is a genius who has the potential to become a general!"

It was clear that 'milk carton-eating' Young Deer was clearly biased against Skeleton.

"Contestant Skeleton has decided to give up his advantage! But can he survive Wild King's onslaught?"

Bang…

Just before the two mecha clashed, Wild King's Wargod No. 1 jumped into the air, and as he fell, he viciously assaulted his opponent with a flurry of blows. It was a ferocious method that threw caution to the wind!

However, he had misgauged the strength of his jump. It looked as if he was going to fall short of reaching Skeleton.

Despite his mistake, Wild King adjusted himself in midair and re-targeted Skeleton with a sliding tackle.

Just nice!

Just before the point of impact, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 executed an Arc Slide Step. Although he only moved a hair's breadth to the side, he dodged the tackle. Yet, even in that brief pass, the two mecha exchanged a single strike.

The two mecha leapt away from each other to gain some distance. They paused. In that moment, Wild King's Wargod No. 1 braced himself with his left hand and maneuvered away. The Wargod No. 1 agilely stood up.

Peng…

His engine erupted, propelling Wild King forward at a breakneck speed. His Wargod No. 1's leg dug into the ground with each stride, pushing the mech forward. He rushed viciously towards Skeleton.

This was Wild King's valiant attack. He was an aggressive scout, and using his speed to catch enemy off-guard would usually guarantee him a sure victory.

Bang Bang Bang…

Wild King's Wargod No. 1 threw a simultaneous punch and kick at the opponent. Pilots who had a fundamental grasp of wrestling moves in reality could bring their skills into these virtual mech fights. Notably, perfectly executing these moves in reality is rather difficult, as body positioning and posture are vital for an effective strike. Performing these moves in CT is supposed to be easier, as virtual reality does not take into account a physical body's limitations. However, normal people are typically unable to do so. Yet this was not an issue for Wild King.

"Excellent! Wild King's explosive assaults have forced Skeleton back, rendering him unable to counter attack! This is Wild King's famous Hurricane Assault, an omni-directional attack that does not cease until the enemy is crushed! I can't believe that Wild King is just as deadly even when he is unarmed! The large Military Corps[1] should observe carefully; this is an example of an excellent scout, and he should be headhunted immediately!"

As Young Deer spoke, he picked up a carton of milk. He had finally regained his honor. From his fall from grace until today, he had finally managed to regain his reputation. Young Deer had considered leaving the CT community and starting anew, but running away was not part of his personality.

In the battle, Skeleton was confident of his skills, especially on such even terrain. However, the downside to battling on an open field was the lack of cover. Furthermore, he had voluntarily abandoned his laser rifle. Skeleton really was taking a gamble here.

Meanwhile, Wild King was delirious with excitement. It had been quite a long time since he could indulge himself in such a highly skilled combat environment. The generic CT player was usually quite idiotic; he would easily lose their cool and lose his head in the heat of battle. However, the young, inexperienced players could not help themselves as they loved CT. This led to many inexperienced players challenging Wild King, and he could derive no enjoyment from those fights.

Wild King did not know what sort of guy Skeleton was, but his assault was unable to breakthrough Skeleton's stable defense. He howled in glee at the tough opponent in front of him. Wild King was completely on edge. Even his hairs were standing on end.

Wild King's eyes exuded a glorious radiance. From head to toe, he was quivering in exhilaration. Tensing up his whole body, Wild King let loose a strong punch. His Wargod No. 1 registered the movement and released a punch with great force.

Missing his target, Wild King's punch slammed into the ground and debris flew out from the point of impact. The strike was so strong that it had completely surpassed the ones previously exchanged during the fight. Yet the flying debris had obstructed Skeleton's point of view. Wild King's Wargod No. 1 immeidately seized the opportunity and executed a cartwheel, with his two legs violently slamming into Skeleton's Wargod No. 1's silhouette.

The entire motion was executed in a heartbeat.

Bang…

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 stumbled backwards, his two arms crossed to reduce the impact of the double kick.

Wild King had fallen to the floor after completing his cartwheel maneuver. Despite the successful attack, he did not allow himself to relax. Meanwhile, in a CT cockpit far away in America, a scrappy youth with straw-like hair was gritting his teeth in elation. His upper body was riddled with numerous scars, and it was truly a ghastly sight. Outside the cockpit, there were at least a hundred people watching the competition. These people… they all looked like delinquents.

Indeed, Wild King was their pride and joy. An orphan in the street had managed to obtain special admission into the Apollo Military College. He was the pride of the entire neighborhood.

Wild King's father was a retired commando. When he was young, his father had taught him many close combat techniques. This led to him having an unparalleled combat prowess. In truth, Wild King was undefeated in his neighborhood. His battle experience was immense, and he was particularly adept at close combat.

In the midst of battle, Wild King's Wargod No. 1 rushed forward and furiously kneed Skeleton in the frame. A second after the collision, he followed up with a high kick to the head. A creak could be heard from his Wargod No. 1. His moves were truly quite extreme, and they pushed his mech's capabilities to the limits.

Where weapons were concerned, Wild King possessed a natural affinity for armed combat. Regardless of winter weaponry or mecha suits, Wild King fought as if these tools were an extension of his body. The military college had classified him as a genius, but he did not care; he just loved to battle.

Bang…

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 could only dodge. However, he was too slow, so the incoming high kick obliterated his right arm, causing him to stagger backwards by almost 10 meters.

The surrounding viewers and the chatbox immediately quieted down. This Hurricane Assault was just too much, even for one as skilled as Skeleton. There wasn't any room to take a breather.

The loss of his right arm put Skeleton at a severe disadvantage. This was one of the weaknesses of the Wargod No. 1 mech; losing a limb would greatly decrease the mech's combat abilities and mobility in navigating the field. Meanwhile, the web café hosting Wild King's CT pod immediately erupted into cheers. Being able to devastate an opponent without weapons was much more exciting than simply using guns.

Wild King's smile grew cold. There were very few opponents who could allow him to fight like this. Energy shields were completely unable to protect him from this onslaught.

However, as much as he had enjoyed this battle, all good things must come to an end.

"Haha, it looks like the outcome has been decided. If Skeleton is able to make a comeback, I will eat another milk carton! Haha!"

Young Deer laughed heartily. The last time he had broadcasted a commentary, it was done in vain. F*ck, that cheapskate Solon did not give him a portion of the viewer donations.

Skeleton's mech alarms were ringing. Wang Zheng evaluated the extent of the damage. His mech's balancing mechanism was slightly damaged, but it could still be operated. However, in his current situation, he would not be able to take another Hurricane assault. Perhaps this time he had really bitten off more than he could chew.

Wild King raised a finger towards the sky, indicating his guaranteed victory. This was his cue to unleash his killing move. It was extremely tyrannical.

The Wargod No. 1 rumbled as it sprinted towards his opponent. Skeleton looked as though he had given up all hope of retaliating. However, Wild King could feel a sense of danger. When he was living on the streets as a street urchin, there were numerous times where he almost lost his life! This had given him a sixth sense for detecting such situations.

He knew that the opponent was an expert in close combat, but Wild King reasoned that Skeleton was already drastically injured. With his current condition, even if they directly slugged it out, Skeleton would definitely be destroyed first!

There would be no mercy shown!

The distance between the two mecha shrank to just five meters. As they approached each other, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 suddenly leapt into the air.

Jumping? Why the hell would he do that?

Wild King had already successfully accelerated to his max speed. He was ready to execute his final killing blow. Wild King looked up, tracking his opponent. Yet, at this point, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 dived down towards Wild King with the bright rays of the sun directly behind the falling mech. The blinding light dazzled Wild King, and he was momentarily stunned!

Skeleton's left leg lashed out a lightning-quick strike! With the falling momentum, his kick possessed unfathomable explosive strength!

Bang…

CRASH…

Wild King's Wargod No. 1 stumbled forward… but the mech's head was missing.

The Western Wilderness's dazzling sun rays were particularly harsh.

One-hit KO!

Young Deer spat out a mouthful of milk! He clenched his hands in shock. The commentator was eagerly looking forward to the climax of the fight where Skeleton would be humiliated with a crushing defeat! But now…he was absolutely demoralized.

F*ck my life!

Encountering this f*cker was like meeting a ghost! It was impossible to predict the outcome of the match!

Every member in the audience had been on the edge of their seats, watching the final clash with bated breaths. Upon Skeleton's victory, they screamed out in joy from the bottom of their hearts. The ones watching the livestream were already dancing in joy.

This was an unexpected result!

Young Deer stared blankly. At this point, his heart felt as cold as the autumn wind.

He suddenly realized that his broadcasting studio helpers were all staring at him. Young Deer felt like he wanted to die from the embarrassment.

And then he realized that he had to eat that carton of milk. Ugh! The last time he did it, he had diarrhea for 3 days.

He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet in frustration! As he did so, he began to tear the carton into small pieces. His broadcast was not over, and he had a job to do. He started putting pieces of cardboard in his mouth. But Young Deer vowed that he would witness Skeleton's defeat. In this world, there was no one who was invincible.

As he chewed, Young Deer could not help but let out a sob. He crammed piece after piece into his throat. F*ck, next time he should drink from a smaller milk carton!

The killcam footage slowly replayed the last killing blow frame by frame. It was difficult to explain what people were feeling; it was a mixture of elation and satisfaction. This feeling rushed forth and bubbled up in everyone's thoughts.

The blow by blow killcam footage was analyzed by the Skeleton Corps original creator, ID Extremely Handsome.

Under Wild King's vicious onslaught, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 had never actually lost his balance. That explosive kick would not have hit. On the video, a small rock was circled in red. When he was retreating through the foliage, Skeleton had stumbled over a small rock, and this had hindered his dodging movement. Yet, in such a situation, Skeleton had coolly sacrificed his arm, as that was the best possible option to take. Extremely Handsome had said that this was a textbook example of a perfect reaction to a disadvantageous position. Similarly, during the final strike, when facing the unexpected dazzling sun rays, Wild King seemed to have lost his focus. His forward rush had actually lost him the match. The momentum from the rush coupled with Skeleton using his foot like a knife blade had caused the dramatic decapitation of Wild King's mech.

The highlight of the battle was when Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 rose up into the air before his descent towards Wild King. Everyone could see that he was extremely calm. It was not a frantic or a desperate maneuver; rather, it was calculated and intended. This was what shocked the audience the most. Skeleton had been in complete control the whole time.

Skeleton's level of calmness was clearly derived from experiencing numerous close encounters with death! As they watched the replay over and over, an indescribable feeling grew in each and every audience member.

This indescribable feeling was called respect!

Chapter 37: Eternal Life in Blood

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Chen Xiu was passionately shouting in triumph. It was rather uncharacteristic of him, as he was usually shy and bashful. Only when it came to CT battles did Chen Xiu show his true emotions and unreserved feelings.

This display of strength!

This was true power!

The Invincible God Skeleton! A competitor for the King's struggle had descended from the heavens!

It was said that at least half of the spectators viewing the fight were watching without any expectations or biases. However, after watching the final strike, these spectators were in awe of Skeleton's prowess. Skeleton's sheer skill had won them over.

Back at the CT Asian Region office, the employees were all celebrating. "Boss! We're on fire! This time we really did it!"

"This will raise his rank to the top 10 on the leaderboard!"

"Boss, do you think that Skeleton is a retired ace pilot? His actions were so blindingly fast that I could not keep track of him at all! He was too calm during the battle; in fact, it seemed almost too easy for him! It felt like he was simply toying with Wild King!"

Solon could not answer any of his employees' questions. He really did not know anything about Skeleton. In fact, he wasn't even clear as to what Skeleton actually wanted.

Fame? With such skill, Skeleton definitely wasn't an ordinary person; acquiring fame would be all too easy for such an individual.

Money? This player didn't seem to be interested in money. Furthermore, such an individual wouldn't need to rely on gaming methods to earn money.

It has to be said that Skeleton's fanbase was starting to form legends around him.

In truth, what our dear Student Wang really wanted was a greater share of the ticket earnings!

Wang Zheng also discovered that this battle had taught him something important. Despite all his combat experience and skills, he was still deeply flawed. He had almost tripped over a rock! Wang Zheng berated himself for his poor map awareness. What if there was a sniper hiding nearby? Thankfully, there was only one opponent this time; otherwise, he would've definitely lost the match!

Wang Zheng still had so much to learn! As he left his CT pod, he heard a large crowd screaming nonsensically. Why was it so noisy outside? Was there a fire?

After Wang Zheng left the private room, he noticed a large group of people standing in the Net Café's lobby. Everyone was preoccupied watching something on the communal screen. What in the world was so entertaining?

… Huh? This looked…familiar?

"Boss, come quick! You have got to see this! F*ck, this guy just blows my mind. He uses a Wargod No. 1, a basic mech, and yet he is still invincible! His kick is basically a god-killing technique! This gameplay footage has convinced me to join the Skeleton Corps!"

Flecks of saliva flew out of Yan Xiaosu's mouth as he spoke. He had already memorized the Skeleton Corps' member's IDs. Such was his conviction of joining the Corps!

After the video analysis had concluded, an advertisement flashed across the screen. It read, "The Skeleton Corps welcomes you! Regardless of your profession or rank in society, everyone is invited to join! Don't live your life as a gutless weakling! Be reborn in blood and live forever!"

Student Yan had a crazed look in his eye. He had really entered the Skeleton Corps. In addition, he was even placed in a high-ranking position. It seemed like the Skeleton Corps was a good fit for him.

The Skeleton Corps was considered to be a different type of guild, relative to the ones usually found in CT. A Corps was generally filled with like-minded individuals sharing the same goals. They were usually formed when such people crossed paths with one another, and they collectively banded together to pursue their goals. However, most Corps would take preventative measures and filter out the lesser-skilled players. The most basic requirement to enter a Corps was to have a high level of skill and win rate.

Yet no Corps was more rowdy or enthusiastic than the Skeleton Corps. This was because their motto was to engage in blood and battle! Winning was battling! Losing was also battling! What was important was knowing what you truly wanted from battle. For the Skeleton Corps, it was the thrill of the fight.

Wang Zheng's previous battles had already been catalogued and edited for public viewing. Unfortunately, as his first battle was too long ago, that particular video had already been deleted from the system and could not be retrieved.

Nevertheless, the battles that were recorded were sufficient. They stood as a testament to his skill.

As his opponents got progressively stronger, using a Wargod No. 1 to crush them only led to tougher opponents purposefully seeking him out. It was only a matter of time before Wang Zheng would have the opportunity to face elite mecha.

When such an opportunity arose… would the legend prevail?

No one could say for certain, but there was hope in each and every person's heart.

"That was too sweet. F*ck. B*tch, that was just completely spectacular! Oppress these assholes! Ranks are meaningless!"

Student Xiaosu was pissed at his own abilities. He had been completely wrecked by his opponents in the previous round, which caused him to fail the bronze-rank promotion match. Yan Xiaosu needed to re-accumulate points again.

"Boss, I want to learn new skills. I am going to go and re-watch Skeleton's video analysis!" He angrily stormed off.

Wang Zheng stared at his obsessed friend. He didn't know if he should reveal his secret. With Yan Xiaosu's big mouth, if he were to spread the news, Wang Zheng's peaceful life would be gone!

Back at the dormitory, Wang Zheng realized that he had three other idiots to deal with. His roommates turned to face him with petrified faces.

Skeleton had only won one battle; was there really a need to be like this? His roommates normally had shy and reserved personalities, but their reactions to Skeleton's video was way too extreme!

"What happened to you three?" Wang Zheng inquired.

The three of them looked at each other in dismay. Their expressions were a mix of excitement and disbelief.

Yao Ailun looked blankly at Wang Zheng. With a soft voice, he uttered, "Guess."

At this point, Wang Zheng felt like grabbing him and throwing him out the window. "How would I know? Are you guys obsessing over Skeleton again? Is this about his recent battle?"

"Hehe, Brother Zheng, you have guessed right. Well, sort of. God Skeleton has indeed completely devastated his opponent, but that is not the most important thing!"

"Hm, then is this about the Skeleton Corps? I'm guessing there was a huge number of people interested in joining, especially after seeing Skeleton battle. How many new members did the Corps receive?"

"Wang Zheng, you are Dormitory 007's official leader; use your imagination!"

"Yao Ailun, stop messing around," Zhang Shan said. "Even I wouldn't be able to guess such a random fact. I'm still having a hard time convincing myself that this is real!" Zhang Shan did not seem like his usual self.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't be bothered with these three idiots who were keeping him in suspense.

"Wang Zheng, have you heard of Nature's Echoes before?"

"Yes, I've heard of them. Their songs aren't that bad! They're very catchy"

"What the f*ck do you mean by 'they're very catchy?' You are too picky with your music. Nature's Echoes' songs are worthy of the heavens! They are sung by our Goddess, Lin Huiyin!" Chen Xiu exclaimed. He was beginning to exhibit signs of insanity.

"Ah." Wang Zheng didn't understand what these three guys were trying to get at. They seemed to be moving farther and farther away from the point. Lin Huiyin was someone that was hugely popular. She was a celebrity in the Milky Way, an Arslan citizen. She was known by everyone! However, to Wang Zheng, her songs were just that, songs. They were easy to listen to, and that was it. He didn't pay much attention to the world of music.

Chen Xiu did not understand Wang Zheng's lack of excitement. "Are you from an older generation? I didn't realize that there was such an age gap between the two of us! Goddess Huiyin is my idol. If I could just meet her once in this lifetime, I could die happy! It is my dream to meet her!" As a representative of his generation, Chen Xiu was completely obsessed with her. He was even more fanatical about his goddess than he was for Skeleton!

"Okay, these two idiots are going crazy because Lin Huiyin's agent has contacted them. Her agent was hoping to use God Skeleton's combat footage for Lin Huiyin's upcoming music video. Now do you see why these two are losing their minds?" Zhang Shan smiled.

He too loved Lin Huiyin's music as it was very soothing and refreshing to listen to. Perhaps Wang Zheng's standards for music were too high. Or maybe Chen Xiu was right and Wang Zheng was simply too old fashioned.

"Oh, are you sure it's not a scam?" Wang Zheng asked in concern.

The three guys were growing increasingly frantic at Wang Zheng's calm demeanor. It turned out that the strangest guy in the dormitory was actually Wang Zheng.

After his time with Bonehead, nothing could faze Wang Zheng anymore.

After meeting Little Shi, nothing could surprise Wang Zheng anymore.

Bonehead could be a military instructor and Little Shi was a princess in disguise. What in the world could be more outrageous than that?

"Just go for it, I guess," Wang Zheng said, unenthusiastically.

"You're acting as if you're Skeleton and this is no big deal to you! F*ck! Although we were the ones who created the Skeleton Corps, we actually have no power to release Skeleton's videos for commercial purposes. We have already sent a message to Skeleton, but we don't even know if he will reply! My God, if this works out, it will be a miracle! My god and my goddess will combine into one! God!"

Wang Zheng was speechless. What the hell did he mean by combining into one?

"Actually, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. This is just a hobby for you guys anyway, right?" Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

Yao Ailun was exasperated with his friend. "Brother Zheng, you don't play CT! You wouldn't understand! You have never tasted defeated over and over again! But I have! It was so bad that I wanted to die! God Skeleton gives me spiritual release, while Goddess Huiyin helps me to ease my frustrations!

The other two chimed in. "Wang Zheng, it doesn't matter whether you agree to this or not. It is only right for us to support our brother. We too agree in this union between God Skeleton and Goddess Huiyin! It is the culmination of our hopes and dreams!"

Yao Ailun adjusted his spectacles. His skill with crafting CT theories and analytics was unrivalled by anyone, but his actual performance was terrible. He was horrendous at piloting a mech. As such, he had a lot of pent up frustrations in his heart, frustrations which he could not release. But all of a sudden, Yao Ailun had found a person who could represent his dreams. He was able to live vicariously through Skeleton!

Wang Zheng could not understand their feelings, but he could see that his friends were wholly committed to this dream.

"Well, since you all have such a strong belief in this, I am sure Skeleton will agree to it."

"Don't forget, if it works out, you must get several signed posters from him!"

"Of course! That goes without saying!"

Wang Zheng shook his head and left to check his Skylink. In his CT mailbox, he found Extremely Handsome's message asking for his approval. He replied his approval, as it did not make a difference to him either way.

The moment he replied, Chen Xiu, who happened to be sitting just beside him, immediately shot up and screamed, "Success! Success! It's a miracle!"

His dance of joy made Chen Xiu look like a little kid. Yao Ailun, who was standing at the side, was much more controlled. "After he signs the promotional posters, make sure he includes an autograph of his picture!"

Although Lin Huiyin was not the number 1 beauty in the Milky Way, to her fans, she was a Goddess, perfect in every way. Her fans were innumerable.

It was unknown as to why such a popular entity would suddenly take note of Skeleton's battle footage.

Back in the CT Asian Region office, Solon was taken by surprise at the collaboration between Lin Huiyin and Skeleton. Fortune had come so unexpectedly!

He had spent a lot of time and effort promoting the battle, but this outcome was just spectacular! No one could have seen this coming! Solon almost had a heart attack from hearing the news of Lin Huiyin and Skeleton's upcoming music video. This was just too intense.

A vast, wide world was opening its gates to him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across Solon's mind. Believe in Skeleton and you will be reborn!

The constant windfall of good luck had wholly convinced him. Skeleton was a miracle worker.

Meanwhile, Lin Huiyin's PR team had made an announcement through the Government Net.

News of her collaboration with Skeleton was generally positive, but there were many who questioned the decision. For one, the Arslan Empire possessed numerous CT experts, yet the chosen player was from the distant planet Earth! And he wasn't even a high-ranking player! Furthermore, the new single was supposed to be a motivational song, and this was not Lin Huiyin's usual music direction.

Could she pull it off?

Her cute and sweet persona was unrivalled. But succeeding in the music industry took more than looks and personality. An idol would need to keep creating fresh, new material. Everyone understood her intentions of pushing the limits of her comfort zone and having grand aspirations for a new music video. But in reality, such a drastic career shift did not usually play out well. The failure rate for doing so was extremely high. Her fans did not want to believe that their beautiful Princess Lin Huiyin could potentially create a bad music video!

Yet the most faithful of her fans still gave their full support to her, while her rivals continued to sulk, envious of her courage and boldness.

Wang Zheng had no idea what Goddess Lin was like. However, he was sure that this goddess was currently in the midst of an unstable state of affairs.

That evening, Wang Zheng was summoned to Xiao Fei's quarters. As she was in the privacy of her own dormitory, Xiao Fei was dressed very casually. She was in loose-fitting pajamas, and she gave off the image of an innocent but sensual beauty. As her clothing was quite loose, her snow-white skin would occasionally be exposed.

At this point in time, Student Wang was sitting right in front of her. Xiao Fei was pacing circles around him, deep in thought as she scrutinized him with predatory eyes. It looked as if she was deciding on how to cook Wang Zheng. Should he be baked in sweet and sour sauce? Or should he be stir-fried with mixed garlic…

"Ahem. Professor, could you please get to the point? If I knew anything, I would have told it to you already!"

Wang Zheng was extremely fearful of the empress who stood before him. She had complete control over his future.

"Haha, that would be for the best. You should know that I am quite skilled at sniffing out lies. Now tell me, did you solve Marcus' question?"

"Who is Marcus? What question are you talking about? I am so busy that I don't even have time to help others!"

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly.

"That wasn't you? Do you recall the day I asked you to pass some materials to Marcus? If I remember correctly, you had taken quite a bit of time to do so." At this point, it felt like a detective interrogating a suspect. Xiao Fei stared at Wang Zheng with a burning gaze, like a bee who had just found a fresh flower.

Chapter 38: Crazy Tempo

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Looking at Xiao Fei's intense expression, Wang Zheng racked his brains. Suddenly, it occurred to him that she was referring to his time spent in the Mathematics Department. It was something that he had completely forgotten about as it was quite insignificant.

"Ah, could you be referring to the question on the blackboard in the math classroom? I wasn't taking it seriously and was just messing around. Crap, I hope I didn't cause any problems for anyone"

Student Wang didn't know what to say. Why was he being questioned about this? Answering some question on a blackboard honestly wasn't that big a deal.

Xiao Fei shook her head helplessly and took a deep breath. "You really are trouble. You know that? You screwed up big time."

"It was just random scribbles! It's not a crime! Worse come to worst, I can just help the Mathematics Department clean the blackboard," Wang Zheng objected.

"That's not the issue! The problem is that now Marcus wants to enroll you into his 4th year math classes!"

Student Wang's frowned in annoyance, creasing his forehead with three dark lines. This was supposed to be a school, not some black market! How could the teachers just forego the rules and lawlessly compete for him?

Xiao Fei could not help but burst into laughter at the sight of Wang Zheng's pitiful expression. "Your 'random scribblings' solved an age-old question that has stumped math geniuses all around the world! It has even caused several Mathematics Department students to create a fan club around you! Put yourself in Marcus' shoes. Of course he would want to headhunt you!"

Wang Zheng let out a huge sigh of relief. So he wasn't in trouble. That's good. The Principal had told him not to offend anyone among the faculty, as it would create difficulty for Wang Zheng if he were to petition for a change in departments later on in the future.

"You little rascal! You're obviously quite gifted, and it is expected that other people would want to snatch you up! But you belong to me, remember that. That old b*stard Marcus might as well be dreaming if he plans on stealing you away from me! Don't worry, big sis will protect you!"

Xiao Fei was extremely forward as she patted Wang Zheng's shoulder. As she was just an arm's length away, Wang Zheng could not avoid seeing her exposed skin. He could not distract himself from its snowy-whiteness. Her skin was absolutely spotless.

In the Rubik's cube, Skeleton had trained him for confrontation with beautiful members of the opposite sex. However, back then, his heart knew that it was fake. Yet in the present, what was in front of his eyes was as real as could be.

"Ahem, this is…"

Noticing that Wang Zheng's face was completely red, Xiao Fei stared blankly at him for a while before realizing the compromising situation that she was putting him in. She decided to use her feminine charms to press her advantage. "Not bad, right? And I know you still don't have a girlfriend. What about me? A student-teacher relationship would be…exciting to say the least."

Xiao Fei was used to using her sexuality as a persuasion technique. The devilish lady was deriving satisfaction from seeing Wang Zheng's awkwardness and embarrassment.

"Looks like I frightened you. Big sis has high expectations for her partners, but you just barely meet the requirements. Work harder and in the future and big sis might just give you a chance," Xiao Fei said, as she charmingly gazed at Wang Zheng.

Our dear Student Wang was so frightened that he wanted to escape as quickly as possible. If he stayed, Wang Zheng wasn't sure what would happen. He was a young and virile adult male, and he definitely felt the effects of Xiao Fei's charms. Xiao Fei was seductive, intelligent, and beautiful. No one was immune to her advances. Wang Zheng had to escape.

Xiao Fei laughed seductively. She was like a child who was extremely proud of herself. To her, bullying little boys was addictively fun. However, she knew that she had to properly protect this little b*stard. Xiao Fei already had to compete with the Mecha Department for Wang Zheng's affection. If Wang Zheng were to join them, Xiao Fei's relationship with him would just get problematic.

With such an excellent foundation and grasp of mathematics, Wang Zheng was a genius solely born to do physics!

Meanwhile, on the faraway Planet of Aslan…

Aslan was the most well-planned planet in the Milky Way. Its structural layout had been meticulously thought out, and everyone who visited the planet was surprised at its aesthetics and beauty. Aslan was filled with an abundance of greenery and elegant communities. Surrounding the planet were twelve intelligent satellites which would periodically absorb sunlight to provide Aslan with solar energy. These twelve satellites could also function as defensive weapons during times of war.

Located on the 36th floor of Aslan's famous Star Pagoda was the music recording studio for Lin Huiyin's Nature's Echoes.

"Your Highness, I do not understand the need for such a risk! There is absolutely no reason to do so!"

"Indeed, it is as he said. We have the best team available. If you wanted to try a new style or take a new direction with your music videos, we would definitely be able to create something of much higher quality!"

A group of workers was currently surrounding a little girl. Despite the disparity in their ages, the little girl was clearly in charge of the room. She seemed to possess the atmosphere of a goddess. The girl with bared legs was currently dancing to the music, moving in accordance to the rhythm of the room. Right outside the window were Aslan's unique, ring-shaped butterfly mechanical constructs. They were automated flying machines tasked with keeping everything neat and tidy.

"I want to know about this CT player that she is obsessed with!" one worker said.

The girl absentmindedly chewed on her lower lip. She was the famous beauty that could move mountains, the one and only Lin Huiyin of Aslan.

"NOT AFRAID!"

This was Nature's Echoes' new single. The moment it debuted, the song rocketed to the top of the Milky Way Alliance's Top 18 charts, where it was ranked 'the most played single' for 10 different categories. Such a feat had never been seen before!

This was something that numerous music critics would never have imagined. Although Lin Huiyin's popularity was partially attributed to her youthful beauty, it was her unique singing style that had won over the inhabitants of the Milky Way.

However, solely relying on her sweet, demure personality also had its limits. After Lin Huiyin released her first 2 albums, she was confronted with an important career-making decision. Critics all around the galaxy were highlighting the limits of her current genre choice. As such, she could either choose to change her direction, or she could remain as she was. This was a choice that Lin Huiyin had to make for herself.

Of course, Lin Huiyin did not have to bother with such criticism. She did not have to change. However, after watching Skeleton's latest CT match, she was inspired to write a new song… a song that would make one's blood boil and instill courage among the people. To the average Aslan individual, this was not a significant issue. But the response to her new single had completely exceeded Huiyin's expectations. She felt that this song was not too mediocre, but never would she have expected that this experiment would have turned into her best song yet.

NOT AFRAID was the most played song among the top 10 charts, and it satisfied even the harshest of critics. They simply had nothing bad to say about the song.

This was Huiyin's first singing and rapping single!

It has to be said that many young people became absolutely infatuated with the song. Every radio station was playing it! Just listening to it a single time was enough to hook a person and fill them with extreme fervor!

The music video was even more stunning. A montage of a lone Wargod No. 1 facing numerous battles. Regardless of the enemy, the lead player always triumphed, demonstrating unparalleled skill and a courageous aura in all of his fights.

I'm not afraid to take a stand

Everybody, take my hand

We'll walk this road together, through the storm

Whatever weather, cold or warm

Just let you know that, you're not alone

If you feel that you've been down the same road

At this point in time, the MV showed Lin Huiyin in full military attire, pointing towards the sky. In the background, it showed the Wargod No. 1 in a moment of desperation, cornered by its opponents and turning the whole match around by executing a pentakill with godly skill.

Pentakill!

The song escalated into a feverish climax!

I will be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly

In the MV, Huiyin and the Wargod No. 1 took up the two sides of the screen. One after another, the opponents of the Wargod No. 1 would appear and be coolly destroyed.

Regardless of the enemy, we will definitely fight till the end!

Rays of light beamed in all four directions. The Wargod No. 1 would fight mech after mech, with the music intensifying in the background.

And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back

As the music died down, the MV showed Wargod No. 1 and Lin Huiyin standing together, both exuding radiant light.

Back in the dormitory, Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were both dancing ecstatically, giddy with delirium. This was perfect. This song would be the Skeleton Corp's anthem.

The song's influence was slowly spreading. Wang Zheng's battle videos became the most searched video in all of Asia. People from other regions were unaware that Skeleton was fighting a real battle, and they imagined that the whole gameplay footage to be staged. However, everyone in the Asian region knew it to be true and that Skeleton's abilities were the real deal.

It was just that Nature's Echoes' influence was too large, directly catapulting the music video to the top.

Wang Zheng had also seen the MV. Needless to say, he was absolutely shocked. When Wang Zheng was still in middle school, he was a fan of Huiyin's gentle, soothing music. However, after experiencing the Rubik Cube's training, Wang Zheng's personality had experienced a drastic change. He no longer enjoyed listening to such gentle music. As a result, he had stopped listening to Nature's Echoes. Yet NOT AFRAID had fully encapsulated the feeling of his battles! He could never have imagined that Lin Huiyin was such a genius!

The song resonated within him. Only Wang Zheng could truly understand that air of haughtiness and the drive to overcome adversity and attain his goals.

The title of the song was the cherry on the icing: NOT AFRAID. It was akin to telling oneself that regardless of adversity, one had to keep on going. There was nothing in this world that was truly frightening.

Zhang Shan was also dancing. No one knew that he had a gift for breakdancing! "Unparalleled. This is f*cking awesome. This song is perfect!"

"My Nature's Echoes wrote this song all on their own!" Chen Xiu said, like a proud parent boasting about his child.

"When did they become yours?"

"I am Nature's Echoes number 1 fan! I have been a member since the very beginning. I am a senior member!" Chen Xiu beamed.

Yao Ailun adjusted his spectacles, haughtily pushing them up the bridge of his nose. "You call yourself a fanboy? Your brother here has collected all of her albums and posters, including the Aslan Special Edition. Can you say the same?"

"Bro, you are truly my blood brother. Can you let me see it?"

"If you act accordingly, I will even let you listen," Yao Ailun said, with a smug face. He enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped.

"Wang Zheng, it looks like we're the only two rational people in this dormitory," Zhang Shan said. Although he liked her songs, he would not lower himself to their level of fanboy groveling and peacocking.

"It is quite nice to listen to," Wang Zheng said sincerely. He truly felt that the song resonated within him.

"It's incredible; the music video has boosted Skeleton Corps' popularity and increased the number of applicants! We have reached the maximum number of members for our corps' level! This is unacceptable, we need to upgrade it!" exclaimed Chen Xiu.

"We need to find an administrator. Agh, the administrators have already used Skeleton's gameplay footage for their promotional videos. They need to give us some compensation!" Yao Ailun angrily slapped the table. The two of them started to bicker.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were speechless. Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu usually acted like old men, but depending on the scenario, the two could revert to acting as if they were 5-year-old children!

"Oh, Zhang Shan, by the way, I have told the Professor Xiao Fei about your proposal, and she said that she would consider it," Wang Zheng said. He felt that being Xiao Fei's sole assistant was just too dangerous, and having Zhang Shan around would greatly reduce his anxiety. Also, Zhang Shan was truly a genius, and Wang Zheng wanted to help develop his friend's abilities.

"Thanks! I need to leave now, but don't mind me! You guys keep talking."

Zhang Shan heavily clapped down on Wang Zheng's shoulder. As Wang Zheng's body was extremely well-built, Zhang Shan was not afraid of hurting his friend.

"This b*stard has had a windfall of good luck with the ladies. F*ck, he is probably off to take advantage of young girls," Yao Ailun said with disdain. He styled himself as omniscient and was capable of anything.

"I have a friend who is currently in the Skeleton Corps. Could you help him increase his rank? He is also crazy about Skeleton."

"Not a problem. Your friend sounds like a good guy."

Yan Xiaosu's personality truly fit well with the other two.

Chapter 39: Embrace

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Sometime after school began, Wang Zheng's life began falling into a rhythm. Having attended the lessons once, he roughly knew what was demanded of Xiao Fei's and some of the Mecha Department's classes. Ever since he gained access to the MMA club's training room, Wang Zheng went there twice a day punctually. It was too convenient.

Usually, Wang Zheng would use the gravity room in the early morning. Regular intensity training was definitely slower in producing results; however, with the gravity room, Wang Zheng was able to feel aches and soreness.

It was empty in the morning as always. Wang Zheng turned up the gravity to five times intensity. After some warm-up lifts, Wang Zheng began his finger strength training, switching between fingers. Under this sort of pressure, results were certain..

A hundred reps for each finger—his entire body was soaked in no time. This sort of training was brutal, so Wang Zheng's food intake was also three times the average person's. The good thing was he had extra money now. Even Wang Zheng felt that he would collapse if he continued eating instant noodles with this training.

While Wang Zheng was training hard in the gravity room, the door opened. Ever since Meng Tian "lost" to Wang Zheng, she also increased her training. She found it puzzling that she could not rely on her training to defeat Wang Zheng.

Seeing that the gravity room's light was on, Meng Tian felt it strange. However, upon noticing that it was at five times intensity, she was absolutely shocked—this was no joke!

Wang Zheng's training was showing better results as of late. Usually he would end at this time, but he felt like going for one more. Meng Tian was usually not here this early either.

Meng Tian saw a sight she would never forget in her life—Wang Zheng, topless, with sweat dripping like rain, inverted and doing one-handed push-ups. He switched hands every fifty reps.

What kind of strength was this?

Meng Tian had always felt that she stood a chance in the previous fight, but she never once thought that he had not even been serious about it.

This sort of strength was rare even in the military.

Wang Zheng sensed that there was someone and stopped. Seeing Meng Tian outside stunned, he smiled, picked up his towel, and walked out.

"Do you want to use it?"

Meng Tian shook her head in a daze. It was hard to believe that Meng Tian, the icy, beautiful queen, had this state of confusion. "How did you do it?"

"Haha, just daily training. Although it seems like I don't have much muscle, I am actually very strong."

Wang Zheng struck a pose. Indeed, he was not terribly ripped, but Meng Tian could sense that he was full of explosive strength.

Meng Tian bit her lip as she suddenly said, "Can you make me stronger?"

Wang Zheng was surprised for a moment. He could tell that Meng Tian was earnest, but for a girl …

"Actually, my style of training is not very suitable for the average person," Wang Zheng said. A normal person would die if he trained like that.

"I'm not afraid. As long as I can become strong, I am willing to do anything!" Meng Tian exposed her usual stubbornness.

Wang Zheng did not really know how to reject a girl. "This … we can try. Actually, I'm also not very sure how to coach you."

"Even just by sparring with you, I can improve!"

This was what Meng Tian had thought of all along, improving through fighting. Except, as a girl, she felt that it was not good to always be harassing others. However, upon seeing this, she could not care anymore. During the test with the explosive strength measuring machine at the beginning of military training, it could have been that the machine was not faulty. Perhaps it was that Wang Zheng's strength had already reached incredible levels.

"Can do. I need the training anyway." Wang Zheng smiled.

Wang Zheng took a shower and was done in five minutes. When he came out, Meng Tian had already changed and was practicing various swift kicks.

Her movements were very tactical. Her flexibility and mobility were both pretty good, and there were not many flaws. It was evident that she had gone through strict training. It was only because Wang Zheng had gone through the pillar training that he could see the skill gap between them.

Her footwork was very orthodox and had little change, while the pillar training was endlessly varied.

"How is it?"

Meng Tian asked after one round. The beads of sweat on the tip of her nose made her cuter.

"Not bad."

"That can't be all, tell me the truth!" It was clear that Meng Tian was not satisfied with this type of patronizing answer.

"Flowery fists with fancy footwork."

"Haha, your moves are actually not bad already, but your strength and speed still have room for improvement. Also, it seems like you are very obsessed with routines. Actually, fights are ever-changing and are very dynamic. Reflexes and adaptability are important skills to have. You need to have a good grasp of speed, accuracy, and lethality. Like this."

Wang Zheng followed Meng Tian's demonstration and threw out a set of kicks, except his were lower and quicker and as ferocious as a whirlwind.

Wang Zheng, who moved over ten meters in a moment, looked back. Meng Tian was in a daze again.

"What's wrong?"

"Maybe someday I will need a favor from you," Meng Tian said suddenly.

"We are schoolmates, no problem. I will definitely help if I can."

Wang Zheng had actually not previously appreciated Meng Tian's capable personality. Besides, the two had the common goal of becoming excellent pilots.

Wang Zheng certainly could not use Bonehead's training methods on a girl. Moreover, this was not the Rubik's Cube. If he was not taken away by the police, he would at least be sent to the mental hospital if he tried them on her.

"Balance is most important. This horse stance training will do you good."

Wang Zheng taught Meng Tian the female horse stance. The male version was wider. Based on a female's body, it needed to be closer and triangular. This stance was also most stable.

"Is this useful?" It has to be said that this stance was not very pretty.

"Haha, try attacking me. If I move, you win."

Wang Zheng assumed the horse stance. Meng Tian's eyes lit up. She really intended to try.

After pulling back some distance, Meng Tian cried out femininely and threw a low flying kick towards Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng smiled. This was a strong blow.

Bang …

Receiving it easily, Wang Zheng's body did not move.

"Again."

She did not want to waste this opportunity of a live target. Meng Tian was not polite about it and launched a fierce attack towards Wang Zheng. There was no one around, so Meng Tian did not have to worry.

Meng Tian's attack was rather ferocious, with the intent to deal harm. Although Meng Tian altered her position and adopted a more violent style, her lethality dropped drastically.

"No problem. You can attack anywhere, or you won't be able to show your power."

When Meng Tian heard this, her brows furrowed slightly. Her style became colder, but Wang Zheng became stronger under greater attacking pressure. Wang Zheng received a series of three kicks easily. Meng Tian felt her leg go limp and fell over.

Just when student Wang was finding this rather fun, Meng Tian suddenly collapsed. He quickly supported her … this was overexertion.

"Are you okay?" Wang Zheng asked, touching her forehead. "I'm letting you try, no need to try so hard; we have no deep hatred,"

Wang Zheng teased. She was okay, just a little faint

Meng Tian's faced turned red. "You are really great. I might have to always trouble you from now on."

"We are schoolmates, no problem. Besides, it is my honor to be of service to a beauty."

Meng Tian's face turned redder. At this moment, the training room's doors opened. A bunch of students engaged in loud conversation entered.

The training room fell silent immediately. Everyone looked at each other. Meng Tian, blushing, was in Wang Zheng's arms …

"Oops, we have walked into the wrong place."

"Yes, we didn't see anything."

Meng Tian stood quickly. Wang Zheng waved his hand. "Just exchanging pointers; Meng Tian accidentally hurt her leg."

"Have to trouble you to send me to the infirmary." Meng Tian had restored her cool.

Amidst the crowd's laughter, the two of them left quickly. Meng Tian's pursuers were many. It was a pity no one could beat her, much less think about anything else. Wang Zheng's personality was easy-going. The crowd also felt that he was better than the arrogant Guan Tao.

Wang Zheng supported Meng Tian out. Meng Tian suddenly said, "Do I have to call you 'Master' next time?"

"Oh, no need to be so exaggerated. We will just exchange pointers."

"Is Ye Zisu your girlfriend?" Meng Tian asked suddenly.

"No, we are schoolmates and friends. How can she fancy me?" Wang Zheng laughed.

This was the truth. Ye Zisu was the school flower and Wang Zheng was just a passerby.

Solon was doing rather well in recent days; he could even laugh in his dreams. His superiors were very pleased with his performance. It was said that the board meetings also took a new turn and no one was raising the matter of his dismissal.

Sometimes, when the path is right, the sky could really rain pies. Lin Huiyin's inspiration for her new song actually came from Skeleton's battle videos, and it was a hit. Even the official website was promoting this person. The question was: once the main website begins publicity and more experts are attracted, could the Wargod No. 1 withstand it?

Regardless, Solon was clear that there was no turning back, and this was not something he could decide.

Solon was busy looking for opponents, and it was actually rather difficult. Experts with a name for themselves were not very willing, and the usual opponent would be meaningless.

After all, people who were willing to use the Wargod No. 1 were still rare. This included Wild King, who specialized in using his own high-end mech. If one used Wargod No. 1, he could operate it without problem, but his fighting strength would be greatly impaired. If one used a high-end mech, it would not be fair. This would be a bit of an insult to the esteems of the experts if they won, and it would be much worse if they lost. Hence, it was a rather awkward phase.

Under Wang Zheng's suggestion, Zhang Shan's trio also entered the assistant's group. Xiao Fei also had the intention to nurture them. The three were rather talented; given some time, they would not do badly. However, in Xiao Fei's eyes, only Wang Zheng's future was boundless. His worldview was too good. Perhaps a top physicist who has been nurtured for eight to ten years would also only be at this level.

With Zhang Shan and friends, Wang Zheng's days were better. It has to be said that an opportunity like this was hard to come by. Although they were only involved in minor activities, it was also eye opening. Although they were freshmen, the four of them certainly surpassed their seniors in some aspects by too much.

Student Wang was absent for most of the Physics Department's classes, apart from Xiao Fei's. Professors would occasionally take attendance, and student Yao Ailun would mimic their voices to make fun of them. Not to mention his imitation was vivid.

Wang Zheng would be immersed in the Mecha Department as if he was stupid or drunk. Wang Zheng had gained a fundamental understanding of mecha during his one month at OMG, and he found it very interesting now that he could apply some theory with the actual thing.

First lesson: mechanical science. Eighty plus people came to the school's equipment warehouse. There were many mecha parts. Unfortunately, Ares College's finances were not doing very well in recent years, so the equipment was older.

Chapter 40: Little Red Noob

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Everyone lost interest upon seeing the piles of dirty mecha spare parts. They had originally expected to see shiny mecha; even if they could not be opened, it would have been good to see. But it was this instead.

Where was the professor?

After the crowd waited for quite some time and had moments of impatience, an old man walked in unsteadily.

Upon looking at him, Wang Zheng was shocked … it was Luo Mu!

Luo Mu saw everyone's expressions clearly—impatience, scorn. Only when he saw Wang Zheng in the crowd did Luo Mu reveal a trace of a smile. It was only because of Wang Zheng's persuasion coupled with Ye Zisu's that Luo Mu decided to serve as a visiting professor here. With the addition of this elective course, he wished to pass down his skills.

"I am your teacher, Luo Mu. For the first class today, everyone will just be familiarizing themselves with the mech. We will do a little tidying up, cleaning of spare parts, and then class will be dismissed."

Having said it, Luo Mu proceed to a room inside the warehouse to watch television in a sagely manner, seemingly at ease.

Everyone looked at each other. This was the teacher?

If they stood before a mech, they would have gone crazy for such an opportunity. However, before them lay a pile of oily things. It was nauseating just to look at, much less the thought of having to clean them.

Ye Zisu and Meng Tian also looked at each other. While Ares College was not in a good place, surely it was not this bad, right?

Ye Zisu had a hunch that this was likely intended by Luo Mu.

While the crowd was still hesitating, Wang Zheng had already picked up tools and began cleaning the spare parts in an experienced fashion.

Luo Mu stuck his head out of the window. "You can ask me if you have any questions."

He resumed watching television after speaking. Lin Huiyin's new song was playing. Luo Mu nodded. "Not too bad this time. The music isn't decadent and has a bit of power to it."

Even if one wore gloves, it was hard not to get greasy. It was alright for the boys, but even just the smell was difficult for the girls to stand.

Ye Zisu got to work with Wang Zheng with a much practiced hand.

Wang Zheng was very focused. He very quickly realized that these dirty mecha parts were actually …

A model number became visible very quickly. ASL—23556. "This is Aslan's propeller!"

Wang Zheng had only seen this in pictures. This was simply a work of art!

Without a doubt, in terms of mecha technology, Aslan was at the top in the Milky Way Alliance. Their mecha were celebrated for being far more complex in prowess and difficult in operations, and they were a beautiful inside and out. This was a dream.

Ye Zisu was also surprised for a moment. Could these things be part of Luo Mu's collection?

She knew that Luo Mu liked collecting parts from mecha of various countries, especially those that were unique. The things here should be a part of Luo Mu's private collection!

Inside the room, Luo Mu had his legs crossed. To this old person, these things were priceless treasures to those who were interested, but mere scrap metal to those who had no love for it.

Wang Zheng immediately began cleaning rather systematically. Even then, it took about half an hour to clean a spare part.

A sparkling set of propellers from Aslan's high-end mech, the Tempest Condor, emerged from the debris.

Most people were loafing around. They were going to be mech warriors, not part of the maintenance division. No wonder this was just an elective module.

If one knew this was so meaningless, one would not have elected for it. But Wang Zheng was enjoying the moment.

Actually, this job was not required to be done by students, but Luo Mu did this for a reason. Only when one got into the thick of doing things, making discoveries bit by bit, could they form deep memories and inspire an inner desire to seek further understanding.

This was also a condition for him to accept the invitation, that he could choose his own methodology for teaching.

When the break came, pretty much everyone was gone. Only Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu, Meng Tian, and ten others were left. At this time, Luo Mu hobbled out.

The warehouse had three different types of parts cleaned. Luo Mu nodded. "This is the result of your work today. Let me introduce the pros and cons of these three things."

"Wang Zheng, yours is Aslan's Tempest Condor's propeller, also considered Aslan's main production mech. The thrust is definitely top-end, and it's explosion-proof capabilities are also rather good. Other countries can learn from this. But in battle, these propellers have a fatal weakness,"

Luo Mu said. Some things only fighters would know, and others only a senior mechanic would.

Deep in thought, Wang Zheng asked, "Could it be the brakes?"

Luo Mu's eyes lit up. "Indeed. In order to maintain its propulsion, the brakes are a bit slow in terms of operation. In battle, this can be capitalized on. Of course, to Aslan's fighters operations, this matter is not seen as a problem."

Wang Zheng smiled. That was because they had yet to met a true expert.

The students who stayed understood that the course had only just begun. Luo Mu was not trying to teach students how to repair mecha; this indeed was not within the scope of a fighter. He covered parts of simple mechanical problems, the focus being seeing the pros and cons from a mechanic's point of view. From engines, to energy capacities, to weapons and the like, this was knowledge from a completely different angle.

Luo Mu had never been on the battlefield, but he was a theorist with a unique perspective.

The ten or so dirty students were completely enthralled and almost had no time to ask questions. Other lessons only discussed the external parts of the mech, but this course imparted the essence and analysis of the mech.

"The flexibility of this mech is very good, but its anti-explosion capabilities are slightly worse. In close-combat, try applying pressure to the pilot and force them to take hits from you, then the opponent is sure to collapse first."

This type of specific data could only be understood by a senior mechanic. As to how to use it and when, only a fighter in battle would know, and it depended on the pilot's ability.

To Wang Zheng, he was hungry for more. Luo Mu was really something.

The people who left pretty much did not come back for the second class, and those who stayed benefited greatly.

One's takeaway from the lesson depended on their own abilities. Wang Zheng stayed behind after class to ask quite a few questions, until Luo Mu became impatient and chased him away. "Little fellow you are too long-winded. I still have to work for a few years, so don't ask too much all at once!"

Wang Zheng laughed. "Heh, I am the stupid bird who's first to fly!"

"Silly Ye, quickly take him away. This is overtime, and I want to rest!"

Ye Zisu laughed as she dragged Wang Zheng away. "Did some happen between you and Meng Tian?"

"No?"

"This silly girl asked me about you once she came back, wanting to find out about your bloodline. Don't tell me she's into you. Do you want me to help you two out?"

Ye Zisu asked, pretending not to mind.

Wang Zheng laughed. "No thanks, she is my dorm mate, Zhang Shan's, target."

"Gee, couldn't tell that your standards were rather high; even Meng Tian doesn't cut it!"

Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly. He was relatively calm about such matters; feelings were necessary.

Regardless, about Wang Zheng's reply, student Ye Zisu was rather satisfied.

Wang Zheng did not return to his dormitory; he went straight to Brother's Café instead. In battle, he was aware of the state of his own mech, but he was certainly unable to understand his opponent's. If he could grasp an understanding of both parties' mecha, that would be an improvement to him.

This sort of thinking was only available to a crazy person like Wang Zheng. This was based upon the highly difficult combination of theoretical understanding and actual insight. Just thinking about it was enough to make one dizzy, but Wang Zheng felt like he had found a new path instead.

This was certainly beneficial to his accurate understanding of the battle situation. If integrated with his battle instinct, it would increase his control over the fight by at least ten percent.

It was a pity that Wang Zheng lacked partners to exchange with. If only he could spar with Bonehead. Although he was good at fighting people, other people had judgments that were much more accurate than his.

When Wang Zheng arrived at Brothers Café, he checked his inbox and there were no missions, so he immediately went into a ranked battle.

Countless people had already added him as a friend, and he had his notifications turned on. Student Wang did not know how to appear invisible. At this time, countless IDs rang with a ding.

Wang Zheng wasted no time and immediately went into matchmaking mode.

Not only were players notified, even the official special staff were notified. They sprang up immediately.

Wang Zheng was on a six game winning streak. Although the level was low, with this sort of hundred percent win rate, a five versus five was alright, but he would certainly run into a stronger opponent in one on one.

Experts at the low levels were limited, but as the levels became higher, mecha restrictions were also lifted.

"Skeleton" versus "Rainbow"

In another internet café, a man laughed heartily. "Time for fame!"

Wargod No. 1 Vs Tempest Condor (Luoluo "A" Class Tracking System Equipped)

After experiencing this several times, the official website responded quickly. Of course there was our famous commentator, Young Deer.

Young Deer was commentating on a high-level match at the time. Suddenly, he apologized to his audience. "This match has been decided already. Apologies to everyone, but I have a match I have to attend to. Come to think of it, I think everyone knows already."

At this time, many Skylinks were secretly opened in class. To play truant in front of professors was courting death, but to watch secretly was still okay.

However, everyone was in a daze when they saw the opponent. This matchmaking …

This Rainbow was certainly a spoiled second generation child. The Tempest Condor was Aslan's premier mech, with abilities enhanced by the system. With simplified controls for the mech, it was basically overpowered. It possessed terrifying speed and long range combat ability. It had the ability to slaughter everything in a thousand miles! It could literally fire and forget while its automated system murdered all its opponents! What left people even more speechless was that this fellow even had a Luoluo "A" Class Tracking System equipped.

This sort of tracking system helped weaker players become stronger. Simply put, this was a tool that enabled the average player to pull off operations at an ace pilot's level. It was pricey if one chose to equip it. However, one must also be aware that some high-level competitions prohibited it.

However, at this level, it would not be prohibited.

The Tempest Condor equipped with a Luoluo tracking system thrown into the novice zone was no different from a true god of war. It would absolutely slaughter the rest

Rainbow was slightly famous among the bronze rankers. He had created his own technique, the Rainbow Explosive Stream Kill. Truthfully, this was the work of money. The performance of his mech was already unrivalled, surpassing the technical abilities of other mecha.

Due to the prohibition of assistance systems in the high levels, student Rainbow persisted in the novice zone, unrivalled.

Some people definitely invited higher players to battle, but it was no use. When the Tempest Condor was paired with this system, it was indeed unparalleled, that is unless you also use equipment of the same level. However, this was billed by the day, and the average player would not be able to afford it.

Some players who were abused by it gave him a nickname: Little Red Noob.

Chapter 41: Rainbow Across the Sky

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Rainbow was a rather cocky individual. Everyone could understand why; the opponent was about to be crushed in front of overwhelming power.

Dominating noobs was his aim. Right in front of him lay yet another target. He was about to be famous.

His only worry was that after seeing his loadout, Skeleton would be scared away.

The viewers were currently awaiting Skeleton to leave the game entirely. Could it be that Skeleton was lagging and did not see his opponent?

Wang Zheng's interface was not lagging behind. However, he was reading the enemy's mech's specifications. He had only ever heard of the Condor mech and not the Tempest Condor. He had also never heard of this Luoluo Tracking system. After reading the description, he accepted the match.

This tracking system was used to improve one's long ranged accuracy. However, in reality, it was quite complicated to operate and was quite expensive. Hence only the best pilots would use such a system.

The discussion forum had erupted in excitement. Many people had only known of Skeleton through Lin Huiyin's MV. It was not important if he was famous or not. They were as excited as those who had watched Skeleton's previous battles.

Wargod No. 1, Mech Power Level: 20

Tempest Condor (Luoluo "A" Class Tracking System Equipped), Mech Power Level: 70 10

This was an absolutely crushing technical advantage.

The basic mecha, like the Demon Wolf and the Beast, had a power level of approximately 40. It was still barely acceptable. However, in this case, the difference was 4 times!

Regardless of the player, this difference was just too stark.

If Skeleton could win… no, even the audience members could not imagine any way which Skeleton could win.

"Only if Little Red Noob was too arrogant and handicapped himself!"

"This fellow is about to be steamrolled. He has upgraded his mech to the peak of what is possible. Even if you take a step back, how could he possibly make a mistake and lose?"

"I have exchanged blows with him before. It was absolutely wretched. I'd even suspect two people were controlling the mech at the same time; he was just that good. Furthermore, his mech is so good that even if he made an error in judgment, he would still win!"

Rainbow was also watching the discussion forums and laughing heartily. "What a load of bullsh*t. I myself am an expert from the SWAT team. We no longer live in the stone age. Those with skill and money are the unshakeable ones! Hahahah!"

The SWAT team had a break today. Who would have known that he would have met such a big "fish" the moment he queued for a game? He would finish him in one gulp, and this would be something he could brag about for months to come.

Battlefield Map: Norton Star.

This was the favorite map of commando units. A basic mech would have difficulty operating in this terrain. However, an elite mech would perform even better.

What was also important was Norton Star's tall and lofty vegetation. It was especially suited for sudden combat. Once the enemy was located, firing off a large burst of lasers would definitely secure the win if the opponent did not react in time.

Little Red Sister had chose this map without any shame to leverage his strengths. He guessed that the opponent would not reject his choice.

Indeed Skeleton did not choose to change the map.

The discussion forum exploded into greater furor.

"Little Red Noob has absolutely no morals!"

"Little Red Noob, do you even have b*lls?!"

"Little Red Noob has no limit to his shame! However, this brother approves! Go forth! Crush him! Show him the strength of the rich!"

Young Deer was commentating from the side. "It looks as though many people are supporters of Rainbow. After looking at the discussion forum, everyone should know that Rainbow not only has superior equipment, he also possesses his signature move, the Rainbow Sky Streak! I wonder if we will have the opportunity to see it."

"Ah. Someone asked if I would eat another milk carton and even asked if I would drink milk from my mum in the event Skeleton wins. I am a professional commentator and have a high level of integrity. You should not be targeting me. Saying which, even if I win, it's not as if Skeleton would eat a milk carton. This just isn't fair!"

Young Deer spoke in a deemphasizing fashion. After so long, he had become immune to such insults. Having a high level of integrity came with a price.

At this point, in dormitory 007, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were extremely excited. Someone had come to offer himself as a sacrifice. The normally restrained Chen Xiu was completely unrestrained at this point. How would the enemy be crushed? He had absolutely no idea, but he knew that there would definitely be a way.

However, not everyone was as naive and blind as those kids. Most of the audience members mulled over possible scenarios that could happen. However, even after analysis, they could not come up with any good ideas. All that was left was to watch the battle.

Norton Star's Covered Battlefield

The Wargod No. 1 and Tempest Condor faced the setting sun. The effect of 5 times gravity was very obvious. Those who were weak at controlling their mechs would definitely move in a very embarrassing fashion. Those without a high-end mech would never chose to compete in such a battlefield.

Wargod No. 1's actions had also been affected greatly. However, the effect on the Tempest Condor was quite minimal.

The number of viewers continued to rise and it broke previous records without any surprise. The administrators continued to watch the numbers rise in anxiousness.

As professionals, even they wondered how such a situation could be reversed.

"What a mess. This fellow must be sick. How could he use a Wargod No. 1 to challenge a Tempest Condor? There are so many viewers. F*ck. Isn't he trying to cheat my money?"

It has to be said that there were many viewers who were going with the flow. So long as there were many viewers, they would tune into the livestream. Only after tuning in would they realise that this was not the battle they had expected. It would be a one sided crushing!

"Hello, friends. Those who have just graduated from kindergarten, please have a good look!"

Regardless of whether he won or lost, this would not be a battle that would end quickly!

However, life was full of wonderful surprises. This was what it meant to live. All of the little kids were shocked.

The two mecha began to move. The center of the map had an objective that had to be controlled. Whoever struck first would win the competition. Hence one could not hide. The two mecha knew the importance of taking the initiative. At this point, the strengths of the Tempest Condor were shown. On the minimap, the Tempest Condor began to move quicker and quicker.

Although the Wargod No. 1 was rushing along furiously and it was quite fast, the Tempest Condor had already arrived at the center of the map. However, he did not capture the objective. In such a scenario, the majority of individuals would instead set up an ambush and attack the opponent when he arrived. Directly capturing the objective would be quite difficult otherwise.

The Tempest Condor began to sneak around. As a SWAT officer, Rainbow enjoyed the use of high performing items. Only then could he use all his skills. However, it was a pity that everyone had only noticed his wealth.

It was preferable for him to find higher ground to ambush Skeleton. The vegetation was extremely thick and most people would not notice him hiding inside. However, against an expert like Skeleton, his concern was not to remain hidden but rather to have the first strike.

Rainbow quietly waited. The mech went into silent mode. His SWAT training was very strenuous. Thus, when he relaxed, he would usually take it easy. However, this was a different situation altogether.

It was exciting.

The Wargod No. 1, which was approaching at a high speed, suddenly slowed down. This was not the first time. Whenever he approached a dangerous location, Skeleton would examine the area carefully.

However, it was of no use. Everyone in the audience knew that the most dangerous point was just as he approached the objective.

The question was: who would be the one to set up the ambush first? Who would be the first one to strike?

Just before Rainbow started to lurk in the shadows, he had attacked the objective and captured it. This small advantage would inevitably spell the difference between victory and defeat.

This removed the opponent's ability to stall for time. This would force Skeleton to attack him.

The Wargod No. 1 paused for a brief moment in silence before slowly launching into his plan. He started to advance in the direction of the objective.

The path he took was in Rainbow's field of view. This was the path with the best view. Rainbow's Tempest Condor began to patiently wait for the opportunity. The mech's engine was rumbling at a low volume, allowing him to maintain his position of stealth. With the Wargod No. 1's basic detection systems, the Tempest Condor was basically untraceable.

Even when stomping noobs, there was still a certain rhythm to it. Most importantly, one could not give the opponent any opportunity to react. Otherwise, it could bring disaster to themselves.

They had to be left untouched at the end of the crushing victory.

Although Rainbow had determined the path which Skeleton would take, he could not help but feel depressed. The opponent was moving extremely quickly, darting left and right. However, he would always be moving near a piece of cover which would allow him to take shelter from any shots fired at him.

However, Rainbow was extremely patient. At this point in time, if he were to strike too soon, it would reveal his position. An opportunity where Skeleton was exposed would come.

It definitely would!

Finally, Skeleton approached an area approximately 20 meters long and wide which possessed no cover. With Wargod No. 1's top speed, it would cross the distance in merely a step or two. Yet the Wargod No. 1 was not even at top speed at the current moment.

Rainbow's breathing gradually slowed down and the grip on his weapon tightened.

It was clear that Skeleton had also realized that this area was the most dangerous one yet. However, he also noticed that there was no time to take an alternate approach and hence hardened his resolve as he continued to move in that direction.

The Wargod No. 1 accelerated at this point, intending to rush across quickly.

"The Wargod No. 1 plans to cross this exposed area with sheer speed. However, the Tempest Condor has already made his preparations! Let the devastating array of lasers take his life!"

Said the clearly biased Young Deer. He had been waiting for this moment since the start.

Everyone's eyes enlarged in anticipation of the moment. The Wargod No. 1 had rushed in. After merely two steps, the Tempest Condor had also rushed out. The Wargod No. 1 was completely exposed in his targeting sights.

At this point in time, the Wargod No. 1 leaned to the side, looking as though it was planning to withdraw. At this point, the laser rifle pointed towards the Tempest Condor.

"The sneaky snake has come out of hiding. It looks as though he was prepared for an ambush… However… Beautiful!!!"

The Tempest Condor was completely unaffected. The moment he had appeared, he did not attack. He had paused for a moment to ascertain the Wargod No. 1's movements. They were extremely stable! Confident movements!

However, this Skeleton truly had underestimated him!

Once the Wargod No. 1 started to retreat and even raised his laser rifle, the Tempest Condor had already unleashed his attack.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!

Four streaks of light flashed out.

"Beautiful!!!" Young Deer screamed as he slapped his leg repeatedly. "Rainbow truly has amazing judgment. This is…"

This was not a wildly fired laser shot. With the Luoluo Tracking System, the lasers' radiance turned into a perfectly geometrical figure as they arched towards the Wargod No. 1.

"This is… Salma's Double Wave Killing Array! GOD!!!"

All of the viewers were shocked. Although it was executed with the help of the Luoluo Tracking system, this was still an extremely hard to execute military technique.

The hardest laser technique to dodge was the wave type. This was meant to counter dodging movements. The one who had invented the technique was Aslan's Colonel Salma. Being able to execute a single wave array shot would be sufficient to dominate the entire newbie arena. However, what was fired was the Double Wave Array! It was definitely more than enough to murder Skeleton!

Young Deer screamed in excitement. Even if he ran to his grandma's house to hide, he still would not be able to dodge this move!

Rainbow possessed exceptional equipment, was an expert, and even used an overpowered mech. There was no way Skeleton could survive.

Rainbow's mouth curved into a smile. This was his technique. Rainbow Across the Sky

After learning such a skill, what was important was to have the judgment to utilize it.

All of the viewers were shocked.

Chapter 42: GOD

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The monstrous demon, Wargod No. 1, had started to move irregularly once again, weaving past the numerous attacks by a thin margin. All of this occurred within the span of a single second. However, it was still no use!

The difference in technical capabilities was just too large.

Everyone gasped in admiration, and some even felt a slight pang of regret. The attack had almost been completely avoided.

Despite its vigorous movement, the tail end of the Double Wave still managed to hit the Wargod No. 1. As the Wargod No. 1 was swaying around dodging the onslaught of attacks, Rainbow was already preparing for another barrage of attacks.

All of a sudden, the Wargod No. 1 fired its laser rifle.

How did the Wargod No. 1 not explode???

That was impossible!

The Double Wave was not an attack that could be blocked without an energy shield! Even if Rainbow's opponent did not get destroyed, that round had clearly hit the Wargod No. 1.

On the other hand, the laser fired from the Wargod No. 1's rifle did not hit its opponent. Instead it hit the tree which the Tempest Condor was standing on. Although the Norton Star's vegetation was extremely sturdy, it could not withstand the laser's impact.

Rumble

The Tempest Condor started to fall from its perch. However, the mech's propulsion ability activated and it smoothly stabilized in the middle of the air.

Yet in that moment, Rainbow burst out in cold sweat. He had fallen into a trap!

His first reaction should not have been to halt his fall! He should have activated his energy shield instead!

Bang…

Headshot.

An explosion blanketed the sky.

The room fell into silence…

Young Deer, who was in the middle of a premature victory dance, suddenly froze in place. Not a single sound could be heard. Unable to hold it in, Young Deer broke the silence and angrily screamed out, "Why did the Wargod No. 1 not sustain any damage? Is his mech invincible??!"

A slow-motion replay of the exchange was shown on-screen.

Rainbow's Double Wave Kill Array was beautiful and lethal; it was a testament to Rainbow's efforts and immense training.

Conversely, the Wargod No. 1's dodging ability was truly out of this world. However, it was still unable to fully avoid the Double Wave attack. Everything happened in a flash. Previously, everyone was unable to see anything amidst the rapid flurry of movement, but analyzing the footage in slow-motion revealed Skeleton's trick to surviving the encounter. Whilst the Wargod No. 1 was dodging, it's left hand clutched a titanium alloy knife, while it's right hand held its laser rifle. Both weapons were used simultaneously; the knife slashed horizontally, while the rifle was levelled at the Tempest Condor.

This b*stard actually had such skillful ambidextrous control over his mech?

Rainbow's final laser round was reflected off the titanium alloy knife! At the point in time, Skeleton fired his own laser rifle!

Even for a replay, the arena's spectators were watching with bated breath.

Yet, in such a frantic moment, Skeleton did not choose to target Rainbow and instead targeted the tree beneath the Tempest Condor!

Why?

Why?

Only Rainbow truly understood why. His opponent was a monster. To be able to shoot Rainbow in such a situation was extremely difficult. If he had missed, Rainbow would have definitely activated his energy shield. Comparatively, the tree was a very large target, and it made strategic sense to target the opponent's foothold. One would instinctively attempt to regain their balance. The strategy was even more appropriate since the Tempest Condor was equipped with a propulsion function. It was only expected that the flying mech would use that particular piece of equipment.

As a veteran SWAT member, Rainbow felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

Who was this monster sitting inside the Wargod No. 1?

How could he be so level-headed in such a situation?

Young Deer could only see black. What was wrong with this world? How could someone like Skeleton exist? He felt like escaping from this impossible situation. Maybe he should just migrate to a different country. That would be the only way to get away from all of this madness.

Skeleton didn't even die in such a situation!

In their dormitory, Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were hugging each other while jumping around in joy.

Even if they did not know how Skeleton had won the match, he was still able to find the path to victory.

Chen Xiu had already gone completely crazy. "This is too scary. Although his dodging skills were beautiful, that shot of his was truly on-par with a grand master!"

"Indeed. If he had just directly attacked the Tempest Condor, regardless of how precise Skeleton is with his firing, it would have been meaningless." Even Zhang Shan had exclaimed.

In truth, they were not the only ones who had given up hope while watching the match. Rainbow's Tempest Condor had technical capabilities that were just too strong. This was the only path to victory.

The eventual defeat was not due to a difference in technical capabilities, and neither was it due to Rainbow's piloting skills. It was due to Skeleton's god-like judgment.

Skeleton made a move that forced Rainbow's hand.

It had to do with human instinct!

Rainbow had lost in terms of instinct!

It was Skeleton's observational ability that surpassed all else!

Even real-time mechanical analyses were not as accurate as this.

This match had completely shocked everyone.

Student Wang was also exceptionally smug. That last battle had given him a run for his money. The truth was that Wang Zheng did not have the confidence that he would win every battle. He just countered every trick he met with one of his own. In fact, this time, he was proud to say that his judgment was spot on.

"Hehe, it would have been great if Bonehead was here. With such a perfect battle, he would definitely have awarded me an A grade!"

His chest suddenly felt cold. A skeletal robot materialized right in front of Wang Zheng. Student Wang immediately squatted on the ground.

"F*ck me! You almost scared me to death. Of all people to appear, it had to be you! Why are you here?!"

"The Super Wargod Trainee has the privilege to summon the trainer for constructive criticism," Bonehead replied nonchalantly.

"F*ck me, why didn't you say so earlier?!"

"You never asked."

Facing the calm and collected Bonehead, Wang Zheng gave up any thoughts of struggling. "So, how was it? My last battle was nice wasn't it!"

Bonehead's eyes emitted a red light. "Pathetic!"

Wang Zheng was infuriated. "How could it be pathetic?! Why would you say that!"

"As a Super Wargod, there was no need to go through so much trouble. The moment the enemy appears is the moment you take him out. You should have immediately shot him through the head!"

Bonehead said quite nonchalantly. Student Wang felt a cold breeze blow past. Talking to Bonehead was truly impossible.

Hiss…

It felt as though his chest had suddenly become a bit colder. Wang Zheng had a bad feeling about it. "I don't suppose summoning you has a price?"

"As a matter of fact, it does. Calling me out will decrease your battle energy," Bonehead replied, with a haughty expression.

Pitiful Wang Zheng almost choked to death upon hearing his mentor's response. "Get! Back! In! What are you waiting for?!"

Student Wang truly wanted to weep, but no tears came out. He could already imagine Bonehead's answer.

You didn't ask.

F*ck. Although he did not know the circumstances behind the Rand Empire's RD team, the one who created the Rubik's cube was truly unreasonable. Was it so hard to explain things in greater detail? They should have included an instruction manual!

Cheating someone like that would really get him killed!

Bonehead disappeared and Wang Zheng's chest finally felt normal again. He unbuttoned his shirt and took a glance. F*ck. His battle energy indeed had decreased.

What a b*tch. Bonehead was truly his nemesis.

Wang Zheng's exuberant mood was completely ruined. He felt that his hard-earned battle energy gained throughout the last week of training had completely disappeared.

Wang Zheng walked away, crestfallen. The owner of Brothers Net Café could not help but feel bad for his customer. He gave Wang Zheng a smile and said, "Little Brother, don't be sad. Failure is just one part of success. If you can persevere through all of this hardship, you will eventually improve."

The owner truly understood him. Wang Zheng looked at the owner; he wanted to cry, but no tears would come.

In the end, the owner gifted him a bowl of noodles as a small consolation prize.

Despite Bonehead's low opinion on Wang Zheng's fight, elsewhere, the match had stirred up a huge surge of activity.

The battle did not merely demonstrate one's skill. It showed off one's unmatched judgment even in the heat of battle.

Needless to say, everyone who saw the match was amazed at the level of skill displayed.

Many of these spectators were newcomers to CT. After watching the newest video advertised by the game developers, they were hooked. Lin Huiyin? Skeleton?

Listening to the song NOT AFRAID while watching that intense Pentakill video. It had aroused within them a burning passion for battle.

If one were to sing the song with its lyrics:

Don't try and stop me, persevere on your path, without any doubt!

Followers, I'm back!

"I'M BACK!"

This was the headline on the public net.

It struck a chord within everyone who had read it!

Who was back?

Was it trying to say that the Wargod No. 1 was back?

"Is this the Heavenly Wicked Explosion's rhythmn?"

"Is he even human?"

"This is definitely the tempo of a god!"

In Aslan, Lin Huiyin was sitting on a swing in her house. A pair of snow white legs stretched out as the swing dipped forward and curled up as the swing pulled back.

"This guy is quite impressive. What do you think of his fighting capabilities?"

Huiyin asked curiously.

Her female bodyguard, Li Jian, watched the screen with a calm expression. "Your Highness, a person of such caliber can be found anywhere in Aslan. This hype is simply because the people of Earth have pathetic standards."

"Oh," Replied Huiyin. Aslan's arrogance was truly ingrained in its people. Although she did not know how strong Skeleton was, Huiyin honestly believed that this player possessed an awe-inspiring attitude towards winning. This alone would make him stand out against Aslan's player base.

Regardless of her bodyguard's opinion, Skeleton had not let her down. The story would have been completely different if he had lost his most recent battle; that would have been humiliating and it would have negatively impacted her song's popularity.

"Add a performance for the Solar System. Have the show organized on Earth."

Lin Huiyin instructed, out of the blue.

"Your Majesty, the market there is exceptionally small. I advise against this suggestion…"

"I want it done. This will be beneficial for Aslan's image. Furthermore, my cousin has been there before. Paying a visit would only show our sincerity."

Huiyin let out a slight smile. To the general public, she was a famous celebrity. But she was more than that. Only the people beside her knew of her true identity.

Truthfully, she was the daughter of the Aslan Empire's side supporter, Iron Fist Prime Minister Qia Shawen. Qia Shawen was also Aina's aunt, making Huiyin cousin to the famous Aslan Princess. Although Huiyin was of royal blood, she was not as involved in political matters, unlike Aina. Huiyin's responsibilities were solely to improve Aslan's galactic image. To the royal family, such a role was sufficient.

"One more thing. If you take another half month's break from school, the principal will definitely flip out." An Jili had a headache. This little princess' train of thought was like a heavenly steed soaring through the skies[1, the sight of which would take people by surprise.

"Oh. That old geezer can be coaxed but not coerced. Tell him this: my actions are for the sake of the Empire. It will also simultaneously display our sincerity. Don't you think that I have an affinity for this?"

Huiyin made a cute pose. However, this killer look had absolutely no effect on An Jili. She was completely immune.

After An Jili left, Lin Huiyin replayed the video of the battle. Her advisors had all said that it was because the opposition was too weak, and this allowed for an easy victory against 5 opponents. There was nothing exceptional about the fight. However, Huiyin did not feel that that was the case.

Huiyin's thoughts shifted to her pitiful cousin, Aina. Although Aina was a direct descendant of the royal family, she had no freedom at all. A life in a cage held no meaning. Then again, if Aina wasn't there, the one suffering would have been Huiyin herself. Lin Huiyin reminded herself to do something nice for her cousin as a form of thanks. No matter what, Huiyin had achieved record-breaking results with her latest song. It even had the added bonus of quieting down her critics.

Back in his CT pod, Rainbow still made no motion of getting up. He was re-watching the video intensely. The more he watched, the more surprised he was. As a SWAT team leader, he had ample combat experience and had prepared accordingly. He had almost completely predicted the enemy's movements. However, he did not expect the opponent to surpass him by such an extent. The enemy must have meticulously prepared for their encounter. It was truly terrifying.

Unless… if Skeleton were simply reacting to the situation… that would have been even more terrifying.

What kind of training did Skeleton have to undergo to allow him to make decisions under such pressure?

Wargod No. 1.

Suddenly, Rainbow's interest had also been aroused.

In the dormitory, Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun had not rested. They had decided to divide the responsibility of managing the Skeleton Corps in two. Each individual had to settle a stack of applications. Whilst reading over the details of new recruits, a familiar ID attracted their attention.

… Little Red Noob?

Rainbow could only let out a bitter smile. You were a little noob. Your entire family was filled with noobs. However, if he wanted to join, he would need their approval.

"I am Rainbow. I was wondering if I could join the Skeleton Corps."

"Of course you can. We welcome all experts!"

Chen Xiu said excitedly. The Skeleton Corp was full of noobs. Everyone often fought together and lost together. They needed experts to guide them.

Needless to say, Rainbow was a true expert. The Corps was taking a major step forward by attracting CT experts.

Upon entering, Rainbow discovered that the Skeleton Corps had over ten thousand members, with a large percentage of them consistently active and online. The moment he entered, a group of people immediately asked him to guide them.

He had originally thought that he would be mocked and shunned for losing. But instead, everyone had greeted him with enthusiasm, hoping to learn and improve from Rainbow's own battle with Skeleton.

This was first-hand information from a participant.

Chapter 43: New Weather's Rhythm

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Rainbow nonchalantly vocalized his thoughts. "With my experience gained from years in the Special Forces, to reach such a standard would mean that he is very likely an expert from the army. However, what I don't understand is why he would want to be here."

The Skeleton Corps burst out in excited chatter. It seemed like Rainbow was not a rich kid as originally thought; rather, he was a member of the Special Forces. This truly shocked the group of children. If one thought about it, not everyone could execute the Double Wave Certain Kill Array.

The reason why Rainbow was so relaxed was that his normal training was just too stifling.

As a mecha warrior, when facing enemies that he could not control, he would opt to suppress them elegantly. However, when he fought against Skeleton, simple techniques were sufficient to beat his opponent, but Rainbow did not choose to take the easy route to victory, and that cost him the battle.

Despite being the first of Skeleton's rivals to join the Skeleton Corps, he was treated like a celebrity.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun had been extremely busy with work, but Little Red Noob was just too interesting of an individual, and as such they promoted him to the role of an administrator in the Skeleton Corps.

With a large group of people encouraging him to take on the administrator role, including a fan group that had a crush on him, Little Red Noob caved to the pressure and eventually agreed.

Taking on the administrator role was akin to being thrown into a deep ocean once he had entered the Corps.

Back in the Mathematics Department, Masasi was in a single bed dormitory. It was precisely what he had requested for.

"Hey, Masasi, are you having fun on Earth? I am so bored here on Mars. Martians are just too barbaric. I really envy those who have gone to other star systems. Why are we so unlucky to have been sent here?"

Masasi's Skylink depicted a man with short, black hair. The two of them seemed to be very close. This was Masasi's friend, Lear.

"Earth is beautiful. It looks completely different when compared to seeing it from the Moon."

Lear was quick to rebut that statement. "F*ck, other than the fact that it was the birthplace of mankind, what is so beautiful about it? With our qualifications, why are we forced to stay behind in the Solar System? Our colleagues could leave to venture out to other places! Our Boss is just too despicable."

Masasi gave him a wry smile. "I don't really understand what's going on in Mars, but judging by the situation, Earth does not seem to be all that bad."

"What? It can't be. Earth is inferior to Mars. What could be worth your attention? I feel that Boss is just wasting his time there."

Much to the disagreement of the younger generation, in truth, the standards of living in the Solar System were not very high. However, relatively speaking, the standards of living on the Moon were even worse as they were dependent on Earth for supplies and resources. Although the Moon possessed ample strength, it was still too small and limited by its scarce natural resources. That year, the Solar System's glory was displayed to the entire Milky Way Alliance; however, the Moon was not able to show off their true capabilities.

Yet, in terms of human talent and skill, the Moon was ranked in the top 10.

"Historically, Earth has produced exceptional individuals. Even if they have declined in rankings and are no longer as prominent, Earth should not be treated with contempt. I recently encountered an interesting individual with abilities that rival my own," said Masasi.

Lear looked shocked. "You're kidding, right? Among the 8 of us, you're considered to be within the top 4! This person…"

"Hehe, I'm just waiting for an opportunity to confirm my suspicions."

"Boss only gave us half a year's worth of time. You have to make the most of this time!"

Lear smiled before turning off his Skylink.

Meanwhile in the Pan-Milky Way Galaxy Military School Alliance, the Milky Way Alliance had occupied the most important role. It was tasked with overseeing each respective planet's talent and human resources. In a time of peace, other than readiness competitions, the key thing was to ensure that talented individuals strove against each other so as to continually improve the overall standard of intellect.

The Moon was usually the representative for the Solar System each year; however, they were unable to achieve any significant results. Ever since then, the Solar System has continued to deteriorate and thus they decided to implement a new plan.

Masasi was part of the team to do so. This was also the reason why he was on Earth.

Originally, they had decided against selecting Ares College. Among the 3 Military Colleges of Earth, it was ranked the lowest. However, Mi Lu made the decision to pick Ares College.

Ever since Masasi arrived, he had nothing but bad things to say about Ares College. The teaching standards were behind the times and, frankly speaking, grossly inefficient. The course curriculum did not interest him either. Even the facilities were lacking! It was understandable that Ares College was unable to compete with the best.

As a military school, the facilities for physical training were insufficient and the gravity on the planet was weak. Furthermore, the condition of the genetic conditioning auxiliary facilities was completely unacceptable!

Their software and hardware were also inferior. Naturally, the college would become less competitive over time.

Mars faced a similar situation. However, because the environment on Mars was vicious and the competition was fierce, Martian battle capabilities tended to be slightly stronger. Being the pioneer wasn't bad, but most of them were all brawn and no brains.

Turning on his Skylink, information on a specific individual popped out with a large amount of extra information on the side.

This was Masasi's primary aim in coming to Earth. This individual was none other than Zhang Long from the Zeus Military College. His family owned Earth's largest political and economic conglomerate. The Moon was not the only one striving for power; Earth was also full of individuals who did so as well. Comparatively, the urge to strive for power was significantly more pressing for those on Earth.

The amount of publicly available information on Zhang Long was extremely shocking and practically unbelievable. Yet, Earthlings did like to brag and no one could confirm if what was said was true.

This plan could not afford to fail.

Wang Zheng was considered a pleasant surprise. Could it be that Mi Lu's Ability X was pointing him towards Ares College? Perhaps his X factor ability was to discover more talented individuals.

Regardless of his discovery of Wang Zheng, Masasi still had his primary objective to fulfil. He needed to pay a visit to Zhang Long.

Back at the MMA Club, Wang Zheng was training as usual. The place which Masasi had felt was very backward and primitive could be considered a heaven to Wang Zheng.

Although Bonehead was very sly, Wang Zheng still felt very happy that he could contact Bonehead. His parents weren't around. The Old Merchant had also left him. The only one he could really talk to was Bonehead. In truth, Bonehead and the Old Merchant were quite similar; they both enjoyed ruining other people's hobbies.

"What has made you so happy?" Meng Tian asked.

"Nothing much."

"The principal is looking for you. I recommended you. With your abilities, you will definitely be a core member," replied Meng Tian.

"What?"

"When school starts every year, on the first month, the three military colleges evaluate and test their students. This year we happen to be in charge of organizing the event where the three colleges will come together to compete. Zeus and Apollo will each dispatch a team. The freshmen will be the main attraction, while the senior students will just be the side show. For this year, the President will lead the team," Meng Tian explained. Wang Zheng seemed very busy lately, but Meng Tian was unsure of what he was busy with. It was like he had a lot of issues to settle.

"Hehe, having the opportunity to compete with experts will definitely be a good thing."

"The competition will involve everything we know… additionally, we will also get to compete with real mechs!" It could be seen that Meng Tian was also looking forward to it. Such an event could be considered a real battle!

"Really? This event is that extravagant?" Wang Zheng seemed slightly distracted. How many mecha would be destroyed in such a competition?

"It's not what you think. Although they will be using real mecha, they will be outfitted with training systems." Meng Tian let out a wry smile. The person in front of her was truly ignorant and ill-informed at times.

The training system could assign values to the damage dealt and apply the impact on the mecha accordingly if it surpassed a specific threshold. For example, if the damage dealt to the right limb of a mech exceeded a specific value, the right limb would be disabled.

If the damage dealt surpassed the protective value of the energy shield, the battle would immediately end.

It was comparable to a normal battle. However, even then, the price for carrying out such a competition would still be exorbitantly expensive. Only if a planet was considered rich in the Milky Way Alliance would such mock battles be a common occurrence.

All of this had aroused Wang Zheng's interest. If the CT emulation was already so sweet, riding a real mech would truly be exciting.

"Do you have any experience in mechs?"

"Does CT count?" Wang Zheng asked.

Meng Tian stared at him, "Of course not! Controlling an actual mech is significantly different than that of a game. Looks like you being part of the team might be a problem."

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes. From a person who was content with instant noodles three meals a day, if he was able to use mecha as a form of transportation, would that not be like a fantasy story?

"Boss! Boss! Ah, Student Meng Tian, you're here too," Yan Xiaosu shouted as he barged in. After seeing Meng Tian, he paused to stare at her as though no one else was there.

As it was extremely late at night, Wang Zheng and Meng Tian were the only two people left in the gym. In front of Wang Zheng, Meng Tian did not usually pay much attention to what she wore. A simple T-shirt graced her voluptuous curves, especially that slender waist. If anyone saw it, their noses would surely bleed. As the training was intense, she had naturally sweated a significant amount. Even though she was in exercise shorts, the sight stunned Yan Xiaosu.

As though she could not bear the gaze of Yan Xiaosu, Meng Tian excused herself from the conversation and exited into an adjacent room to train. Yan Xiaosu quickly grabbed Wang Zheng.

"Boss, no wonder you joined the MMA Club! The compensation is unparalleled!"

"What is it?"

Yan Xiaosu smiled sweetly as he fished out a letter. Once Wang Zheng saw the object, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"You can't possibly want me to deliver yet another love letter, right?" Wang Zheng felt as though his head was going to explode. Yan Xiaosu nodded his head vigorously as he grinned. No wonder they were brothers; they were basically telepathic!

"Go and send it yourself. Girls like guys who are brave."

"It's for An Mei! I'm not close to her, and it would not be good for me to give her the letter directly. This is just an invitation letter, and having someone who is more familiar with her would increase the odds of success. When I confess, I assure you, I will set the stage appropriately! It will be a sight to behold!" said Yan Xiaosu.

"I have only ever met her once." Wang Zheng had nothing to say. The last time this happened, the outcome was quite pitiful.

"Let me help you then," Meng Tian said as she walked over.

An exercising girl would exude a charm of her own. Once again, Yan Xiaosu was stunned. Then, upon thinking she might end up as his sister-in-law, he snapped back to his senses.

"Sis-in-law, it's all up to you!"

Meng Tian was absolutely shocked by his reply, and her cheeks flushed red. Yan Xiaosu then gave her a subtle thumbs up. This was what it meant to hide something well! When did he manage to snag this beautiful ice queen?

"Scram!"

Wang Zheng lifted his leg to kick Yan Xiaosu, but his friend had ran out of the gym. Yet at this moment, Yan Xiaosu's head reappeared out from the frame of the door.

"Sis-in-law, Boss is a virgin! It's as though he has just been freshly assembled from the factory! Perfect quality is assured!"

Student Wang felt as though he had been struck by lightning. This bastard had to have his mouth removed!

Meng Tian couldn't help but let out a smile. She had never met such an outrageous person.

"Your friend seems quite interesting. Even though your personalities are so different, you can still get along so well."

"Actually, I feel like I have been tricked by him into joining his dubious ventures. His mouth just never stops blabbering."

"It's Yan Xiaosu after all, the most influential figure of the Trade and Commerce Department," replied Meng Tian.

Wang Zheng stared blankly. "The most influential figure? Him?"

"Middle school and college are completely different worlds. Even if others did not like this sort of personality in middle school, in college, he is like a fish in water. He is currently coordinating with the school's numerous large societies to organize an event. Whether he is successful or not is one thing, but practically everyone knows of him." Meng Tian replied very naturally. Conversely, Wang Zheng seemed to be a strange person; he didn't even know of such a thing.

Wang Zheng didn't even care about the things happening around him; one would not even have to mention things like "influence." However, deep down, he was extremely happy for Xiaosu. That bastard had finally made his mark.

It was great!

"Do you feel that it will work out?"

"I don't know the sort of person An Mei likes, but we have talked about him before. He has also gone to the Drama Club before, and rumors say that he played a nasty trick on the president."

"That's good. At least he has had made an impression. Would you help me out and do this favor for him? Even if An Mei doesn't like him, when he is rejected, try and be tactful about it when you deliver her response."

Some things did not have to be experienced more than once. If it happened often, it would no doubt cause issues to arise.

Under Meng Tian's curious prodding, Wang Zheng explained what had previously happened with Yue Jing.

Meng Tian nodded her head. "She has eyes but cannot see the pearls in front of her."

Chapter 44: Return

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Unknowingly, the distance between the two had shrunk. It has to be said that Wang Zheng used to be tormented by Bonehead. In fact, because of Bonehead, Wang Zheng felt a slight aversion to beautiful girls. In his mind, Wang Zheng conjured up an image of Bonehead wearing makeup so as to help himself focus and not be distracted.

However, a beautiful girl was still a beautiful girl regardless.

Meng Tian had an amazing body, and there was nothing wrong with her features. She had flawless, snow-white skin, and other than her cold personality, she was truly a beauty that anyone would fall in love with at first sight.

Even if Wang Zheng was slow to react, he would eventually succumb to the other party's charm.

However, by the time, Wang Zheng could feel it. Meng Tian hurriedly stood up. "I'm going to go first. I will help your friend pass the letter to An Mei. Don't worry about it."

After reassuring Wang Zheng, she rushed towards the female changing rooms. Even Wang Zheng could feel that her heart was clearly quite flustered.

Dear Student Wang rubbed his nose. Was he that scary?

To the students of Ares College, the upcoming month would definitely be the most exciting one by far.

Firstly, it was an event between the three military colleges. This year it would be held in Ares College, and it was rare that there would be a full confrontation with blood boiling battles! It was something everyone looked forward to!

The students of Ares College were particularly excited as this year's freshmen included Masasi and Carl. Because of these two extraordinary individuals, Ares College's team's strength had improved explosively. There was a good chance that they would be able to realize Old Third's ten-thousand-year destiny.

The second and also most important thing was that Lin Huiyin would be performing a concert in Beijing.

In the entire Solar System, she only chose to perform on Earth and specifically in Beijing.

This caused all of her numerous fans to be extremely excited. Of course, the fans included the three in the dormitory and Wang Zheng's best buddy, Yan Xiaosu.

To the princeling Student Yan, he would spare no expense to grab a ticket.

However, up till now, only news of the concert was made available. Ticketing had yet to start, but the fans would inevitably be waiting anxiously.

However, the problem was that Lin Huiyin was just too popular. Although the younger generation was full of rebellious individuals, Huiyin's sweet princess image had captivated countless hearts. Everyone aspired to be a badass while hoping others were just quiet individuals who wouldn't dare to stand out. The new song was one that had a very gallant style to it. For Lin Huiyin's previous concerts, the venues were typically bursting with people. This time, the concert would be in Beijing with the headlining song being NOT AFRAID.

It was rumored that the inspiration for the song had come from Earth.

Students loved to engage in bustling activity, and this exciting festival was no exception.

Yan Xiaosu happily called Wang Zheng on his Skylink, telling him that An Mei had agreed to his invitation.

After merely meeting once, it seemed as though An Mei was quite different from Yue Jing. Even if his confession was unsuccessful, it was unlikely that she would put him on the spot.

For the purpose of this prestigious interschool event, the school had to pick out outstanding talent to compete against the other schools. Despite an equal number of spots allocated for freshmen and seniors, the main point of the exchange was to test the freshmen's talent.

Masasi and Carl were both freshmen but were without a doubt part of the main force. Wang Zheng was picked as the substitute for the team. Although Wang Zheng's military training wasn't bad, a training exercise could not be considered sufficient experience, because a real battle was a completely different situation.

The other two had often experienced such competitions, and as such, selecting them was to be expected. But for someone without prior battle experience, being selected as a substitute was already very shocking.

Other than him, Zhang Shan was selected as another substitute.

The two of them were representatives from the Physics Department, which was also the first time something like this had happened.

Captain: Ma Xiao

Official Members: Jiang Bin, Masasi, Carl, Meng Tian

Substitutes: Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan, Guan Tao

The individuals who were chosen for this event every year would have special attention paid to them by the school. This year's event was even more lively as Masasi and Carl's strength had given the school a hope for victory.

Even though Ma Xiao was considered an expert, a lone hero could not hold back a pack of wolves; his individual ability was not sufficient to allow him to dominate the competition.

With Masasi and Carl assisting him, Ma Xiao felt his confidence increase. Especially since he had personally tested the two's battle capabilities, he had felt extremely confident. The remaining time left for training was meant to improve the team's ability to work together, as well as for personal training to ensure that the team would compete in peak physical condition.

Guan Tao was originally in the official line up, but he was replaced by Meng Tian. However, this was expected as the tournament was originally intended for the freshmen. Furthermore, when Guan Tao had competed with Meng Tian, he had lost three times in a row! Ma Xiao had to make a decision.

As Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan showed excellent performance during military training, they were chosen as the substitutes of the team. Such a line up was already sufficient.

The training lasted from 7 PM to 9 PM every night with Teacher Zhuo Mu from the Mecha Department supervising.

Zhuo Mu had graduated from Ares College and was the trump card of the Army. However, as he had lost one of his legs in a battle, he retired as a battle instructor. He was a teacher with a unique "personality," and in truth he was quite cruel. He would fly into a terrible rage whenever someone failed, and this often resulted in the school receiving numerous complaints. However, he had suppressed the complaints with his own abilities. Yet, the fact was that if results could not be produced, it would be hard to say if he could continue to stay in the school.

Guan Tao whispered, "One has to be calm to deal with Steel Leg Zhuo. Regardless of what he says, just imagine he's just making fart noises."

Guan Tao was quite close to the rest with the exception of Ma Xiao and Jiang Bin. Zhang Shan was in a festive mood; with Wang Zheng together with him, Zhang Shan treated the training regime as an excursion with a buddy.

After half an hour, Zhuo Mu finally hobbled his way into the classroom. One of his legs was fitted with a steel prosthetic and his footsteps were uneven, clinking as he walked along.

Zhuo Mu scoffed at the eight of them before looking at Ma Xiao. "Why are you still here? Looks like Ares College is lacking people."

Ma Xiao looked embarrassed. He was in his 4th year and by right should not be eligible for the interschool competition. However, it was unavoidable as Ares College was severely lacking in experts.

With regards to Jiang Bin and Guan Tao, Zhuo Mu completely ignored the two of them. However, Jiang Bin and Guan Tao did not take offense at his treatment of them; they had long become used to his attitude.

Using Steel Leg Zhuo's own words, "Crop after crop, disappointment year after year."

"I suppose you two are the ones not from Earth. I heard your strength isn't bad. However. this is Ares College's fight! Are you willing to participate on behalf of Ares College?" asked Steel Leg Zhuo.

Carl grinned arrogantly. "Competing casually will be enough! What is the point of being serious for such a small-time competition?"

Steel Leg Zhuo then turned to Masasi. "Do you feel the same way?"

"I am currently a student of Ares College. Naturally I will put in all my effort to fight for Ares College. You can rest assured about this, Teacher," replied Masasi.

Zhuo Mu nodded his head before pointing at Carl. "You. You can leave now."

Carl stared blankly. "Hey, you old bastard, did you make a mistake? Did you just ask me to leave?"

"If you don't want to leave, I can throw you out myself," replied Zhuo Mu nonchalantly.

"You old bastard, do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you?!"

After saying that, Carl immediately rushed towards Zhuo Mu, but Zhuo Mu just lifted his leg.

Bang!

Carl screamed in pain. Bitch! That was alloyed metal! If a normal limb was to collide with it…

Zhuo Mu had indeed thrown Carl out of the doorway before closing the door. The room had seven people left. Ma Xiao and the rest looked at each other. They were doomed! Carl was one of their key members! Without him, the team had basically lost half of its fighting strength.

"I don't oppose anyone becoming a hero. However, one has to have a sense of team honor. Regardless of where you might come from, since you are a student of Ares College, you have to fight for your college's glory. With regards to anything else, you can talk about it after this."

After Zhuo Mu finished speaking, he icily stared at the group in front of him. "Meng Tian, I don't care about your background. In the team, there will be no gender separation. Are you sure you want to join in our training?"

"Yes, Teacher!" Meng Tian replied without hesitation.

"How are there two brats from the Physics Department?"

"Teacher Zhuo, although I might be from the Physics Department, I have the heart of one from the Mecha Department!" replied Zhang Shan. This bastard was literally stealing his lines.

"I am willing to fight for the college," replied Wang Zheng.

"Excellent, we can head out. Follow me."

The group followed him outside to realize… there was a space shuttle awaiting them. What was he trying to do?

Wasn't it a nightly training from 7 PM to 9 PM?

Wasn't he going to follow established practices?

Ma Xiao had a bad feeling about it. Although they did previously mention that they would be doing the real thing, could it be that they would start immediately…

After that event, Carl immediately left the college and returned to Mars. Although the principal had tried his best to get him to stay, he was unable to change Carl's mind.

Frankly, ever since Carl had arrived on Earth, he was looking for an opportunity to leave. He was unable to find an opportunity to properly compete with Masasi, as his rival was simply uninterested. Furthermore, the atmosphere was unsuitable for Carl.

It was perfect that he could use this situation as an excuse to leave. To Ares College, losing him was a terrible situation, especially since Carl's mech piloting abilities were quite decent.

Although Wang Zheng and the rest were taken away, their course materials were recorded in the form of videos for them to slowly catch up when time was available.

Back in the dormitory 007, Chen Xiu, Yao Ailun, and Yan Xiaosu were anxiously taking care of their Skeleton Corps.

The three of them were extremely active; Chen Xiu even frequently answered questions and guided noobs.

Especially when it came to theoretical knowledge, he was exceptionally proficient in it.

"Brother Xiu, I used to learn from high-level battle videos, but I would still lose pitifully. However, ever since I started watching Skeleton God's battle videos… I have been losing even more pitifully than before!" asked Player I Must Become A God.

Chen Xiu was stunned. "What have you been using?"

"Of course the Wargod No. 1. It's such an all rounded mech that it is essential for becoming a god!"

Without waiting for Chen Xiu's reply, the audience burst into raucous laughter. This funny bastard.

Chen Xiu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. "When things are going your way, you might be able to win. However, one's ability to battle comes from learning from experience. Other than having the skills to do so, one must practice often to achieve success."

"Now we will commence the third mech analysis lesson. The Model 3 Ice Racer mech's specialty lies in…"

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun's mech analysis had improved significantly. It covered both the strengths and weaknesses of the mech and also included replays of high level battles involving the mech.

They hoped that one day, the Wargod No. 1 would be able to compete with the high level mechs.

As of now, even Wang Zheng did not know where he had been shipped to. It looked like he had been brought to a military barracks.

Steel Leg Zhuo seemed extremely familiar with the place. Valiant soldiers could be seen all around, and the group of them looked like innocent lambs in comparison.

"F*ck. Where is this place? It seems so dark and foreboding." Zhang Shan frowned. He felt that the situation was not looking very positive. Zhang Shan was starting to regret his decision. He was a genius of the Physics Department, so he should have been enjoying life with beautiful women, but instead he was here.

"Do you know where we are, Seniors?" asked Masasi.

Ma Xiao shrugged his shoulders. "Don't ask me; this is also my first time here. We will have to adapt to the situation. Looks like the old bastard is playing for keeps this time."

With the memory of the previous military training, everyone snapped to attention. However, this time things were different; there was nothing here. Furthermore, everyone was given their own room.

"Comprehensive training starts tomorrow. Rest well tonight, as you will get no further chance to do so," said Zhuo Mu as he walked away. How could someone sleep peacefully after hearing such words?

Chapter 45: Thinking Of You

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Everyone returned to their own rooms. Wang Zheng was no exception and very quickly fell asleep.

In the dead of the night, the Rubik's Cube in Wang Zheng's chest suddenly began to glow. A faint beam of light shone out, and a wave band was emitted. The sound made was completely different from a normal one.

Weapons System Detected … Entering… Analysing…

Unknown Civilisation, Rank B. Determined to have value in analysis

Implementing Perfect Super Wargod Plan!

The base's mainframe computer suddenly vaguely lit up for a brief moment, for barely a second before it went back to normal. This small anomaly did not catch anyone's attention.

During the second day's roll call, everyone had arrived except for Wang Zheng, who was late.

Zhuo Mu waved his hand. "No need to bother with him. The rest of you will continue with the special training."

Meng Tian and Zhang Shan glanced at each other in surprise. They both understood Wang Zheng's personality. How could he ever be late?

In his room, Wang Zheng was currently in a deep slumber. Even after he was awakened by the soldiers, he was still extremely dizzy. He could not continue with the training and was thus removed from the special training.

Wang Zheng felt extremely helpless. He did not know what was wrong with his body. What had the Rubik's Cube done to him? It was as though it had sucked his energy and he had no strength left in his entire body.

He wanted to call out Skeleton for an explanation of the situation, but instead he chose to endure it. Poor Wang Zheng, who had been sent back to school, only wanted to sleep, and he spent each day in a half-awake state.

Yao Ailun was a nerd and Chen Xiu was a minor, so neither of them had any experience in taking care of others. However, Wang Zheng often felt someone placing a hot towel on his forehead and wiping off his sweat. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Zisu by his side.

"… Why am I in the females' dormitory?"

"Brother Zheng, we are in our own dormitory, 007. Student Zisu has been taking care of you for the past two days. You have been in a daze the whole time. When we brought you for a checkup, they said that you had overexerted yourself. What did they do in the special training? Are they trying to mess your body up? We Physics Department students are not suited for such things!"

Chen Xiu said in a concerned tone. Just by looking at Zhang Shan's body, one could see that it was fierce and unyielding. However, compared to him, Wang Zheng's body did not seem to be suited for special training and thus he was afflicted with this problem.

Wang Zheng let out a bitter smile. He didn't even have the chance to attempt the special training. Bitch, once he fully recovered he would definitely summon Bonehead and get him to explain himself.

Wang Zheng struggled to sit up, and his entire body throbbed with a dull ache. Ye Zisu immediately helped him up. "Ah, you! You don't need to strain yourself. You won't become fat just by eating an extra mouthful![1]"

"Thank you." Other than that, Wang Zheng did not know what else to say.

Ye Zisu let out a slight smile. "Why are you being so polite to me? We are friends, and taking care of people is a girl's natural ability."

Cough

"When will I be able to get a friend like this?" Yao Ailun asked enviously.

"Older Sister Zisu, you're extremely pretty. If I was Brother Zheng, I would definitely choose to chase you," Chen Xiu naively and guiltlessly said.

Wang Zheng had no energy at all. If not, he would definitely have punched that bastard. He definitely said that on purpose.

Ye Zisu shook her head. "He already has someone he likes."

Wang Zheng stared blankly at her. He did? How did he not even know himself?

However, looking at Ye Zisu's gaze, Wang Zheng suddenly realized who she was referring to. He helplessly shrugged his shoulders; it was completely impossible to be together with her.

Xiao Shi was not actually Xiao Shi.

Bang

The door was kicked open, then a single individual rushed in energetically. It was Professor Xiao Fei.

"Wang Zheng, you little bastard! You dare to skip my class… Ah, what happened to you?"

Xiao Fei stared blankly at the pale-faced Wang Zheng. "I heard you were removed from the special training. How could Steel Leg Zhuo mess you up to this extent?!"

Wang Zheng hurriedly waved his hands. "It has nothing to do with Teacher Zhuo. My body just couldn't handle it."

"Didn't I already tell you before? You're not meant for physical labor. So long as you focus on a single path, that is enough. You don't need to take any detours." Xiao Fei sighed.

Dear Student Wang did not know whether to laugh or to cry. Xiao Fei then began to size up Ye Zisu. "Not bad. Is she your girlfriend? Tsk tsk, your standards aren't bad."

Ye Zisu stood up. "Hello Professor Xiao Fei. I am Ye Zisu, his high school classmate and his friend."

This was not the first time that someone had misunderstood their relationship. Wang Zheng felt slightly embarrassed. "Haha, Professor, she is just a friend."

"Oh? A friend? Zisu, this little fellow isn't bad. You have to grab hold of him. In this day and age, 9 out of 10 guys are just weird. Go for him even if it doesn't work out later."

The three male students in the dormitory broke out into cold sweat. Professor Xiao Fei was truly too ruthless.

"All's good. There's someone taking care of you, so I will be taking my leave."

Barely a few moments after Xiao Fei had left, Yan Xiaosu rushed in with a basket of fruits. Wang Zheng suddenly felt very fortunate. There were so many people who were concerned about him.

Ye Zisu did not care about the others' teasing, and she helped Wang Zheng peel the fruits. The other three continued to engage in chatter and gossip with Wang Zheng.

The truth was that the vast majority of students had a very relaxed and happy lifestyle. None of them were as focused as Wang Zheng.

Everyone would have their own paths in the future and thus one should seek to enjoy their life in college. To attend classes, flirt with others, discuss hopes and dreams. This was the ideal college life.

Although Wang Zheng's body had come out of the Rubik's Cube, his spirit was still left inside it. All he could do was to dream of ways to improve himself. Honestly, it was bad to place himself under such pressure.

On the other hand, the special training was not going smoothly either. Zhang Shan and Ma Xiao both aimed for Meng Tian, and they were particularly active in training. Despite that, Meng Tian still treated them with disdain. A man had to be a winner.

To be frank, with Zhang Shan's physique and reflexes, not going to the Mech Department could be considered a waste of talent. He and Wang Zheng's situations were quite similar. However, due to the "stunts" that Wang Zheng had pulled off, it had forced him into the situation he was in right now. Steel Leg Zhuo did not care about one's year in college; he aimed to use the special training's results to determine the placings of the individuals, including the team leader's position.

As a result, Ma Xiao was also forced to perform at 120%. Furthermore, he was a senior student, and if he were to be beaten by a junior, such an act would be truly humiliating. Truthfully speaking, he was under tremendous pressure. Merely competing with the bull-like Zhang Shang was already a headache. In addition, he had to deal with Masasi. What made things worse was that Masasi was extremely interested in contending for the position of team leader.

With regards to Wang Zheng, after being removed from the special training, he spent the entire day resting and had recovered almost 70 to 80% of his energy. As a result, he was just able to attend class. Despite that, he tried to summon Bonehead but unfortunately, he could get no reaction out of the Rubik's Cube and thus he could only wait.

In the Sagittarius System, Lin Huiyin's tour group had already finished their preparations. However, Huiyin had received an extremely strange piece of news.

Before a Princess undergoes her coming of age ceremony, she would be allowed one request. So long as the request was not too outrageous, the royal family would definitely attempt to fulfil the request to the best of their abilities. It could be considered a blessing from the King himself. However, her cousin, Aina, had chosen to waste her request on something trivial.

Aina very quickly realized that she could use this one special request to meet a certain someone. Huiyin wondered what kind of three headed, six-armed individual could possess such charisma in order to captivate her cousin.

Xiao Fei's lesson was in the morning, and many students were in attendance. Wang Zheng found a nice seat and sat down. If he was unable to make it for the lesson, then so be it. Since he was here, he would definitely sit in the front row to prevent the Professor from flipping out.

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were still concerned about Wang Zheng's body, so the two of them were sitting on his left and right. "Brother Zheng, do you not want to rest for another day? You can ask for a day of leave from Professor Xiao."

"I am not that weak. I am fine," Wang Zheng replied as he laughed.

"Wang Zheng, I recommend you focus on physics. After that you can find a beautiful girl and get into a meaningful relationship with her. Enjoy the college student life! Why do you want to torture yourself? We are cultured individuals; we are not of the same breed as those barbarians. Ye Zisu treats you extremely well, she has no boyfriend, and her family is good to do! Even if you looked with a lantern, you would be unable to find one just like her! Don't be ignorant of the blessings around you!"

Yao Ailun admonished. Frankly speaking, if any girl were to treat him as well as Ye Zisu treated Wang Zheng, he would definitely be unable to control himself.

"Yeah! Brother Zheng, I guess you don't really like Meng Tian. Although Elder Sister Meng Tian has a fiery hot body, I think Ye Zisu is much gentler. Girls like her are the best!"

Chen Xiu said earnestly.

Wang Zheng could only bitterly smile. He wished he could beat the two of them to death. Perhaps he should put to rest those fantasies of his. What was done was done. He was merely an ordinary individual. Was it time to face reality?

At this point in time, the noisy classroom suddenly went completely silent. A girl walked into the classroom while simultaneously glancing around.

No one even so much as breathed. How could there be such a pretty girl?

Even good-looking celebrities could not be compared to her! Just looking into her eyes would cause one to become absolutely captivated. Her beautiful visage perfectly framed her dazzling eyes.

The classroom was surprisingly quiet as everyone stared at the foreign girl. She was definitely not from Ares College. Such a beautiful girl would definitely have been noticed the moment she stepped into the college grounds!

The girl looked as though she was looking for someone.

At this point in time, everyone hoped that the one she was looking for was themselves. Despite wearing simple clothes, it could be felt that she possessed an unattainable aura of grandeur.

The girl's fist were clenched as though she was slightly nervous and anxious.

Student Yao stared blankly at her. "She is truly a goddess. Heavens, how could such a beautiful girl exist!?"

Chen Xiu, who was at the side, was similarly dazed. He was absolutely speechless. Even the self-pitying Student Wang raised his head and was similarly dazed. After shaking his head and rubbing his eyes, he exclaimed, "F*ck, am I hallucinating?"

Wang Zheng had already buried such thoughts into the depths of his heart. When she was around, he did not feel anything. Only after she left did he feel a sense of longing for her. However, the distance between the two of them was just too vast. Wang Zheng was a reasonable person and thus he chose to bury those thoughts.

Could it be that this sense of longing was a sickness?

At long last the girl seemed to have found the person she was looking for. Step by step, she approached the trio.

"Hello, fellow classmate, could you please swap seats with me?"

The girl asked when she stood in front of Yao Ailun. Dear Student Ailun could only nod his head like an airhead.

"Why are you here?" Wang Zheng foolishly asked. It seemed as though he was not hallucinating. A familiar impulse surged up from the depths of his heart.

Aina gave him a brilliant smile. "I missed you."

Those three simple words seemed like thousands of words[2]. Wang Zheng grabbed Aina's hand, and at this moment, Xiao Fei walked in. After seeing the sight in front of her, she too was shocked and could only cough dryly several times.

"This is Wang Shishi, she is an exchange student. I hope everyone can take care of her."

Aina very naturally sat next to Wang Zheng. Their two gazes were interlocked, and it seemed as though nothing else mattered.

Below the table, the two had not let go of each other's hands. Instead, they were holding even more tightly to one another.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were absolutely petrified. What kind of world were they living in!?

Professor Xiao Fei's class was usually exceptionally engaging. However, the fact was that the entire class appeared distracted. Everyone frequently glanced at the girl sitting in the first row. It was as though her back was just as seductive as her front.

"How did your hair turn black?" Wang Zheng asked, with a silly expression on his face. It felt as though he was dreaming.

"I can't reveal my true identity," Aina replied as she lightly bit her lip, her heart pounding against her chest. The entire situation seemed as though he was in a dream. Yet the truth was that she was right in front of him yet again.

Chapter 46: Love is to Fool Around Together

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Crown Princess's coming of age ceremony wish was to study at Ares College for three months. Although her wish seemed slightly strange, it did not violate any rules or regulations. Looking at it from a different angle, even if the truth was revealed, it would only benefit the relationship between Aslan and the Sol Federation.

The Crown Princess's alias was Wang Shishi. Only the principal knew of her true identity. Gu Te was shocked giddy at the sudden good fortune. This was no different from winning the Milky Way lottery! Although her identity had to be kept a secret, after this was said and done, it would indubitably bring about good publicity. Instead of choosing the universe's most prestigious academy in Aslan, she chose to go to Ares College instead. Even if he was dreaming, he could not believe it!

The two of them held each other's hands tightly until the class ended. What was even more fortunate was the fact that Xiao Fei did not tease the two of them, but instead watched them walk away with a strange expression on her face.

Once the class ended, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu could no longer sit blankly at the side. They could not tolerate it anymore.

"Wang Zheng, how rude can you be? This beautiful girl… no, who might this beautiful goddess be? Won't you introduce her to your fellow brothers?"

Dear Student Ailun was extremely regretful as he was not dressed in his best attire and therefore felt lacking.

"You can call me Wang Shishi. I am Wang Zheng's distantly related cousin. We have no blood ties between us," Aina replied with a smile as she blinked her eyes.

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu turned and looked at each other before looking into the sky and sighing deeply.

"Wang Zheng, you are truly defying the heavens! I can't take it anymore!"

"Brother Zheng, you have hidden yourself so deeply that when you revealed your true colors, it was absolutely frightening! It's time for you to treat us!"

Wang Zheng gave them a wry smile. "Okay, no problems. We will do it tonight. My apologies, but please excuse us."

The entire class was gazing at them as Wang Zheng pulled Aina out of the classroom.

They were once separated by millions of miles. Wang Zheng did not even dare to dream of her. The higher his expectations, the greater the disappointment. However, she had actually come back to him.

"Am I dreaming?" Wang Zheng asked as he tightly clutched Aina's hand. He was worried that the moment he let go, she would just fade away.

Aina lightly bit her lip. "Have you ever had such a realistic dream?"

The two of them merely stood there and looked at each other. Wang Zheng knew that he was in love. Regardless of whatever status the girl in front of him possessed, regardless of what would happen, he only knew one thing: he loved Aina!

The advantage of being in the college's grounds was that it could provide a suitable place and atmosphere for these two lovebirds to be together.

The last time they were separated, the two of them were merely friends. However, now that Aina had appeared again, they had broken through that barrier. Perhaps it was because the two of them felt that it would not be possible to have such an intense feeling ever again.

When Aina had previously returned to Aslan, she knew that what had passed was past. She could only treat it as a beautiful memory. However, the more she thought about it, the more she was unable to repress her feelings. All of the people around her only sought to sing praises about her beauty and stature, things which she wished to escape from.

Why was it not possible? Why did she not take the initiative!?

Thus, she came!

"Why?" To be honest, even Wang Zheng did not understand why. He felt that he wasn't bad looking, but not so good looking that his looks could cause immense upheaval and chaos.

Was it because he was talented?

With Aina's looks, knowledge, and status, if she wanted it, the number of young geniuses that would attempt to court her would form a queue so long it would exceed the boundaries of the Solar System!

"It's because you're the most foolish!" Aina replied.

Foolishness? Could this even be counted as a good point?

When a girl wanted to be complicated, she could be extremely complicated. However, when a girl wanted to be direct, she could be extremely direct. Even when Wang Zheng did not know Aina's identity and situation, he was willing to lend a hand to help. Three hundred dollars, even if it was three hundred million, it was nothing to a princess of Aslan. However, this was everything to Wang Zheng. If a person was willing to give everything to you, what else could you want?

In reality, it was not as though Aina had not tried to probe him. Even after seeing her face, Wang Zheng was still willing to act on behalf of her. It had truly stirred up her emotions. Even Aina was slightly embarrassed at that time.

Though it has to be said that afterwards, Wang Zheng's immense knowledge had given Aina another shock. Furthermore, even in the face of an assassin's attack, Wang Zheng's protection had completely captivated Aina's heart. This strange experience could have been written off as another story. Yet even though it seemed impossible for the two of them to be together again, it still managed to happen.

It was a fairytale come true.

Regardless of whether it was Ye Zisu or Meng Tian, both of them were extremely exceptional. However, as Aina took the only place in his heart, Wang Zheng did not feel anything towards them.

In a private space, the two of them burst into endless conversation. Aina did not stay in the college dormitories, but rather at the Shangri-La Grand Hotel.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun felt slightly confused as the two of them walked back to the dormitory.

"Brother Ailun, is Brother Zheng an expert?"

"What do you mean by an expert?"

"A sage when it comes to emotions! I always felt that he has hidden himself deeply. Why is it that there are no beautiful girls chasing me?"

"Bitch, how old are you? Elder brother is still single!" Yao Ailun stared coldly at him.

"Looks like I have to learn from Brother Zheng!"

"That bastard is full of secrets. As a fellow brother in arms, we have to live and die together! Even if he already had a girlfriend, why did he only tell us now!"

"Elder Sister Shishi has a very refined temperament. I have never, ever met such a graceful girl!"

Chen Xiu shook his head slowly as he spoke.

"That is an innate quality bestowed from birth! F*ck, we have to grasp this opportunity!"

It has to be said that dear Student Ailun and Student Xiu had suffered yet another blow. They could not let it pass anymore! They had to deal him a vicious blow!

It was a tradition that whoever had a girlfriend had to treat the others to a meal.

Each day that passed with Aina around was like spending a day in heaven. The Rubik's Cube, Battle Energy, and whatnot all seemed so trivial when Aina was around.

In the afternoon, Yan Xiaosu was shocked petrified for a whole five minutes.

"Am I dreaming?" Student Xiaosu said as he pinched his own face. He could feel it, so it definitely wasn't a dream.

Aina gave him a slight smile. "It has been a long time, Yan Xiaosu."

The usually quick-witted Yan Xiaosu was absolutely dumbfounded at the scene. He briefly recovered and dragged Wang Zheng to the side.

"Boss, what is happening? Have the heavens finally opened their eyes?"

"What do you mean by the heavens opening their eyes? Aina… Shishi is currently studying in the Physics Department. Please remember to keep her identity a secret."

Looking at Wang Zheng's face of extreme contentment and happiness, Yan Xiaosu also felt happy for him. His elder brother had been strong since young, his aim clear. However, Yan Xiaosu had always felt that his journey was just too weary. To live was to be happy. Ye Zisu and Meng Tian were exceptional individuals, and he did not know who Wang Zheng was truly waiting for. Yet, upon seeing Aina, it all made sense to Xiaosu.

"Boss, you really are a bastard! Everything has been worth it!"

He could see that Yan Xiaosu was truly happy for him. Wang Zheng patted Xiaosu's shoulders. "You aren't bad yourself. I heard your confession was successful this time."

"Well, somewhat. An Mei said that she has to consider for a period of time. Heh, she's still a girl; I just need to push her in the right direction and she's mine."

Yan Xiaosu said confidently.

Aina looked honored to be in his presence. Student Xiaosu was one who was always full of gestures. However, the group dynamics would no longer the same; it would be two on two. Yan Xiaosu had also brought his other half.

In the cafeteria, An Mei constantly swept her electrifying and fiery eyes up and down Aina's figure. Even if she used a microscope, she would be unable to find any flaws with Aina.

How could this world have such a girl? From her appearance to her bearing, all of it could be summed up in one word – flawless.

An Mei at this point felt indignant on behalf of Ye Zisu. What great qualities did Wang Zheng possess? What arrogance! He would even dare to bully someone like Ye Zisu! When the girls had their midnight gossiping sessions, they talked about anything and everything. With Wang Zheng's capability and looks, he was able to get close to Ye Zisu. Even one's ancestors would be furious at such a sight! Wang Zheng was clearly out of Ye Zisu's league! Who could imagine yet another beautiful girl chasing after Wang Zheng?

An Mei turned to Xiaosu. "Tyrant Su, why are you quiet today? Not hearing you brag about yourself seems very unnatural."

An Mei also felt that something was strange. She and Yan Xiaosu had already gone on several dates. This person was very interesting and had numerous things to talk about. His family background could be considered decent, except for the fact that they sold sanitary napkins. However, Yan Xiaosu was a confident and unbridled individual, and An Mei really liked that about him. A self-confident and humorous boy could indeed attract the interest of girls.

However, this fellow truly liked to brag; in fact, the way he bragged was very amusing.

"Tyrant Su?" Wang Zheng stared blankly at him before bursting out in laughter. Giving Xiaosu a thumbs up, he said, "An Mei, you seem to have discovered his true self. Looks like he won't be able to escape from your grasp."

Yan Xiaosu coughed dryly several times. He couldn't just act like a pretentious prick, he had to gauge the situation first. To brag in front of the Princess of Aslan? Even if dear Student Yan had thicker skin, he still wouldn't do so.

An Mei smiled at his comment before directing the conversation at Aina. "Shishi, welcome to Ares College. As Zisu's good friend and Xiaosu's girlfriend, I have to say that you need to be careful. You and Wang Zheng aren't a good fit."

Yan Xiaosu tugged at An Mei but was given a vicious stare in return.

Wang Zheng and Aina glanced at each other quickly; they both felt indescribably happy and burst out into smiles. Aina loved this part of Wang Zheng. He did not care about her status, and she could see in his gaze that he truly did not care about her identity and only liked her for who she was.

It was that simple. That pure.

This heartfelt connection was mutually understood; it was something others could never understand.

As this was the case, An Mei felt even more indignant on behalf of Ye Zisu.

"Brother, it looks like my competitors are numerous. Will you give up on me?" Aina asked warmly.

Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu looked at each other. Who would have expected Aina to have such a childish side to her? Wang Zheng's heart felt like it was going to melt.

Yan Xiaosu immediately tried to smooth things over. "You should know Ye Zisu. We were all classmates in middle school, all alumni of Dawn Middle School. Thus, the three of us are considered to be close."

An Mei angrily flicked Yan Xiaosu's head with a finger. "Look at what you are saying. You should no longer be called Tyrant Su in the future. You should be known as Softy Su instead!"

This fellow was usually as arrogant as the heavens, but when placed in front of a beautiful girl, he would lose all of his imposing mannerisms.

An Mei no longer pursued the topic at hand. She began to ramble and talk about girly things. Although Wang Shishi did not usually speak much, when they started talking about branded goods, she was extremely clear about it. However, when Shishi started to talk about some other brands, An Mei had never even heard of some them! Indeed, it would seem that Aslan was slightly more advanced in the cosmetics industry, and thus the girls who lived there knew a bit more.

After finishing their coffee and excusing themselves from the group date, An Mei dragged Tyrant Su to the side. "Your elder brother is a playboy. He actually dares to get involved with three girls simultaneously! Are you the same as him?"

Yan Xiaosu burst out into cold sweat. "How could this be? Boss and I only care for one girl!"

"Tsk. In our dormitory, Ye Zisu and Meng Tian are already grappling in the dark! It resulted in Du Qingqing and I being faced with an endless headache. Furthermore, he promised to be a model for the Art Club, but up till now he has not done so!" said An Mei.

Although Yan Xiaosu seemed tormented, deep down he was extremely happy. It was truly a reversal of fortunes. Back in middle school, the two of them were like the weeds growing at the side of the road; no one gave them a second look. However, now that they were in college, they had replaced their bird guns with cannons[1]. Especially Boss's rapid transformation; he didn't just grow wings, he turned into a space shuttle! This feeling of respect was as deep as the River Taotao.

"Boss has been busy with special training and thus definitely forgot about it. Don't worry, I will remind him. Since the words have been spoken, they will definitely be done. If he isn't free, I will go on behalf of him," Yan Xiaosu said as he patted his chest.

Chapter 47: Comeback

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"How dare you! Your true intention is to seduce the pretty girls in the art society!"

"Of course not; only you would treat me like a treasure." Yan Xiaosu laughed.

An Mei loved Yan Xiaosu's personality and she believed a boy's charm lay in this. But to be honest, Yan Xiaosu wasn't lacking in any of the other departments either. He was born in an acceptable family and his personal life was satisfactory. So wherever he went, An Mei was proud of him.

"Who is this Wang Shishi? Where did she come from? When I return to the city, I will have to report that this lady is too beautiful and elegant for Wang Zheng!"

An Mei said.

"How could she be as beautiful as our Meimei? She's inferior compared to you."

Yan Xiaosu spoke with his conscience.

"Tsk, I'll give it to your silver-tongue, but if you are trying to change topics, it is futile. Be honest and don't tell me you don't know!"

An Mei pinched Yan Xiaosu's loin.

"She is Wang Zheng's distant relative who visited Earth before. Perhaps she thought that the Earth's environment was refreshing, so she decided to transfer over."

Student Yan Xiaosu upheld his brotherly loyalty.

An Mei nodded. "Aslan girls are certainly quite elegant… even though she wore an ordinary dress, it was enough. How is she any better than Zisu? You guys don't have the eyes for girls!"

An Mei hit all of them with a stick and Yan Xiaosu laughed bitterly as he cried out, "Boss, we brothers have been unjustly blamed on multiple occasions because of you."

On their way back, Aina didn't talk about the potential rivals. It was not because Aina thought that she was advantageous, but rather she understood Wang Zheng.

Although the time they spent together wasn't very long, it was love at first sight that kept them going.

The physics class in the afternoon finished relatively quickly for Wang Zheng. To him, the definition of time had lost its meaning when Aina was around.

After school, both of them would surely be on a date, and Aina wanted Wang Zheng to battle!

As the Princess of Aslan, Aina had come across skilled fighters. The Aslan empire was not short of elite warriors. After the ban of the extremist group, the famous killer that was from there could not even deal with a single blow from Wang Zheng. This made Aina extremely curious about the circumstances of Wang Zheng.

As for Skeleton's battle history, Yan Xiaosu was thoughtless enough to have forgotten all about it. Aina, however, remembered it clearly. It was kept by her side in Aslan, when she was always surrounded by people and had little freedom.

It was during battles that Wang Zheng was the most charismatic.

As for his ID, Wang Zheng did not have the intention at all to hide it from Aina.

When Wang Zheng entered CT, Aina wanted to observe, so naturally he felt the need to perform well.

Once Skeleton's ID was connected into the system, countless notifications started to buzz.

Rainbow would wait for him whenever he was online. His brothers often ridiculed him; he was going to get kicked out of the police force if he continued having such a slack attitude.

Rainbow, on the other hand, remained very calm. Who said that a policeman had to train intensely all day long… even a robot also had its hobbies.

Once he saw that Skeleton was online, Rainbow immediately signaled to the rest. Within the internet bar, there were instantly people crowding around him. They were all from the special police force, and they had heard about this demon that surpassed that their big boss. They wanted to understand this special person.

The Skeleton Corps was all fired up as though it was a festival celebration.

Rainbow notified Chen Xiu, and Chen Xiu immediately told Tao Ailun and Yan Xiaosu. As established members of the Skeleton Corps, their attendance was almost certain.

What everyone was curious about was his opponent.

Wang Zheng was afraid that the opponent he was freely matched with would be much inferior. As he was scrolling through the list, he saw a familiar name appear.

Wild King.

This person was quite competent in his skills in mech piloting. After browsing through his user profile, Wang Zheng laughed. He was a very direct person. He was planning to use his trusty mech instead of the Wargod No. 1, and if he were to lose again, he would join the Skeleton Corps as a firm believer.

This did not bother Wang Zheng at all. Instead, he was sure that it would be because of him that Aina would get to observe an interesting battle.

Skeleton VS Wild King

Everyone was shocked. Didn't this fella lose the last round? Was he not convinced and wanted another battle…

But soon, everyone was stunned.

They had not came across someone that was so shameless.

Wargod No. 1 VS Light Cavalry Model D

Even old friend Solon was in a daze. Skeleton was up for anything.

In the last battle, Wargod No. 1 nearly failed. Although the mech did make a comeback, everyone could tell that it was a risky one. Wild King was definitely one of the top in Asia, and now he was going to use the model that he operated best in.

Skeleton was just asking to be killed.

Everyone in the hall was staring at their screens. There was a limit to one's skills. Would Skeleton be daring enough to accept?

Rainbow and his gang of brothers were also watching with the jaws agape.

"Boss.. this guy is doomed; there is no way the Wargod No. 1 is able to defeat the Light Cavalry. I can bet my surname on it!"

"Wild King is one of the hottest players around, and he has a formidable record in the diamond ranks. It is rumored that he became even fiercer after Skeleton stepped into his territory."

"It is an unwise move. The last win was risky enough, but this…"

Rainbow was reluctant to speak. He had battled against Skeleton before, and he's always had a special gut feeling about Skeleton. He felt like Skeleton was not performing to his fullest but was watching and dissecting his moves. In this aspect, he felt that Skeleton was like him.. just that he was on a completely different level.

Wild King had way more technological advantages, so it was going to be a rough battle, and with it came greater anticipation.

Wild King could not believe himself that his opponent was willing to battle on such uneven grounds.

No matter the outcome, he would applaud Skeleton for his courage.

Wild King was waiting. He was preparing for his special training stage to get ready for the three military schools' exchange program. The principal got news that Ares College was secretly preparing, so he could use a victory to welcome the disgustingly intense training to come.

Light Cavalry Model D, the Aslan empire's conventional mech model. It was the model that had the performance balance. Simply put, it was a model that could ensure that the full potential of the pilot's ability and awareness were utilized. The MP5 laser guns that came with it allowed for extreme accuracy in shots during movement and unstable environments. The laser sword was also a necessary weapon upgrade with the model.

Wild King did not make the first move as he already had such an advantage over Skeleton's mech.

Countless players were watching patiently online. What would be Skeleton's next move?

Instantly, everyone's spectacles shattered against the floor.

Simple Arena!

It was the cruelest and most direct battle arena. There was nowhere to block and nowhere to hide, and it relied solely on the pilots' stamina and skills.

It was a place to showed competency, whereby accidents could be minimised.

This was unbelievable!

"He is so cool. The Earth is no longer able to tie down Skeleton!"

"How dare he choose that arena. He's just looking down on his opponent!"

"If he can win, I will no longer believe in love!"

"Dude, this has got nothing to do with love!"

"Then me believing in love ain't got nothing to do with you!"

The gods of the different districts were promptly replaying, the different PK were out of control, and votes and victory bets were also increasing sharply.

In this kind of situation, there were still four impossible people who thought that Skeleton could win. A few newbies were shocked to the core. Were they really so dumb?

Within the Skeleton Corps, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were passionately singing Lin Huiyin's new single – NOT AFRAID. No matter who the opponent was, their allegiance was clear.

"Hello, everyone. I am Young Deer, the ubiquitous Young Deer. I have been recording the program since early yesterday. In the diamond ranks, players are pitted against each other until noon. I was still planning to have a nice afternoon nap, but who knew that a certain someone would appear again… let me see," Young Deer said in a tone of ridicule. "Incredible.. who would be so arrogant. The Wargod No. 1 against the Light Cavalry. Everyone must have heard of Wild King, but to remind you of his battle status, Wild King is currently on an 11 battle winning streak in America's diamond ranks for one-on-one battles. As for five-on-five group battles, he has a 9 battle winning streak, and he was re-elected as the top place amongst the diamond ranks' light cavalry mech players."

Young Deer swallowed his saliva. "Easy Arena Map, excellent. Let us look forward to Skeleton's moves. Amen."

He traced a cross sign on his chest. In the forums, people were spamming comments. There were comments that either insulted him or complimented him. It could not be helped if you drank two bottles of milk and had diarrhea for a week.

Young Deer was onto Skeleton. He did not believe that Skeleton was undefeatable.

Aina was right next to Wang Zheng. She liked Wang Zheng's calm confidence. Even in her position, she was uncertain about the outcome, and after listening to the introduction, she knew that the opponent was strong.

Back in the spaceship, Huiyin was curled up in her sofa, enjoying her popcorn. He eyes lit up. "Interesting, interesting. Let me see how good you are… haha.. love can really blind a person!"

It was apparent, based on the time, that her cousin was already there. As for the boy, he would make his way there immediately if he was rash, and rashness most likely caused bad endings.

"Angela, do you want some popcorn?"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Angela! You don't have to be so serious. Do you think Skeleton has a chance of winning in this battle?" Huiyin smiled. "Such a rebellious name to begin with."

"This guy must be stupid. The Wargod No. 1's performance and configuration are inferior compared to the light cavalry. Unless his opponent is a pig, it is not possible for him to win."

Angela said blatantly.

"Spectators, the long awaited battle is about to begin. It will be a battle to remember, and it will be the last lowly battle that I will be commentating. Thank God, I am finally free."

Young Deer said nonchalantly. He was definitely neglecting the audience's feelings. Apparently, he had quite a lot of supporters. After all, there were swarms of new spectators every battle.

In the CT hall, the workers were bedazzled. A competition like that had resulted in the sales of eighty thousand tickets, with ten thousand VVIP spectators.

What was this rhythm?

Ailun hung a cross on his chest. God bless, please don't let it be his last dinner.

Chapter 48: Rhythmic Crushing!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The arena was as grand as an ancient Roman amphitheater, and it would ignite the fighting spirit within every warrior.

Without doubt, this was the place where the warriors would want to fully display their skills.

Wild King's Light Cavalry No. 1 arrived on the scene. Aslan Empire's designs had always been meticulously beautiful and mighty, and this model was no exception… even the face of the mech was astoundingly handsome and could only be possibly made with a strict proportion of pure gold.

Of course, none of that mattered as much as the warrior's abilities.

On the other side of the arena, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 also landed.

Wang Zheng moved his body with light movements. Aina was by his side, so needless to say, his emotions at that moment could not be expressed with words. She made her way casually to his side. However, Wang Zheng knew that she would not feel comfortable.

What Wang Zheng could do was to express his feelings through his battle.

Sorry.

The battle had not begun, the crowd suddenly saw the usually unresponsive Skeleton write a word.

He had only just loaded into the game, why was he apologizing? What was the meaning of this?

Wild King got a shock too. Was Skeleton already planning to back out of the battle?

Suddenly, a sense of threat emerged from Skeleton. This feeling was similar to that of a crisis in a street fight. The Wargod No. 1 was emitting a terrifying aura.

The rookies, and surprisingly Wild King, were not able to sense it.

Battle Begin!

"We are finally starting. We are about to…. AYE… is the light cavalry about to use remote suppression?"

The light cavalry model that Wild King liked tended to be more violent and was more suitable for close combat battles, the mech was already swiftly aiming his MP5 laser gun.

The Wargod No 1. mech was rapidly gaining speed and was headed towards the light cavalry.

This….

Boom…

The light cavalry acted immediately. The power of the MP5 laser gun, in addition to Wild King's techniques, could certainly negate Skeleton's impact.

Wasn't he a bit too extreme!?

The audience was also taken aback. With such an advantage with his mech model, accompanied by the suitability of the arena, how could he choose the easier way out?

But Wild King was not about to hesitate even the slightest bit. He could feel the strong sense of threat from his opponent now.

When the laser roared, Wargod No 1. accelerated and slid forward in an arc with great momentum.

Wild King was fully focused; his hands remained very stable without trembling even the slightest. The MP5 was charging it's shot, but there was a minimum charge-up time.

After two sets of arc sliding steps, he was in a risky situation. Even if he were a robot, there was still a certain amount of reaction time. He was human and naturally had his limits; even the mech armor required additional time to react.

At this instant, Wild King's laser gun was fully charged.

The Wargod No. 1 could no longer dodge the attack?

BOOM….

A laser blast was shot out and the blast streaked past.

Everyone's jaws dropped. Was this a coincidence?

What surprised everyone even more was how the Wargod No 1. was able to easily dodge the laser beam. Just in the nick of time, he had dodged the round. What was even more surprising was that the Wargod No. 1 had discarded his own laser rifle!

Wild King did not have time to lose; he could still feel the clutches of terror slowly strangling him.

The MP5's energy recharged quickly, and the laser gun started firing away again.

At this close distance, it was too late to do an arc slide.

GOD!

Everyone's mouths formed the letter "O." The Wargod No. 1 made a sway to the left like a ghost, and the laser beam passed through the shadow of the mech. The armor escaped totally unharmed as though it had just performed a teleportation.

This was simply impossible!

If the opponent had been someone else, it would have totally destroyed the confidence of that person. However, for the case of Wild King, he still had faith in himself. The battle was not over yet, and the winner had not been determined.

The MP5 was fired again at the Wargod No. 1, who was even closer now. Out of the blue, a beam of light flashed past.

The Wargod No. 1 fished out the alloy knife and inserted it into the mouth of the laser beam.

Bang…

Burst!

The alloy knife bounced up from the impact. Wild King managed to get back on his feet in the nick of time and drew out his own laser sword.

What happened next was the first time ever in history for him.

If Wild King could relive this fight, he would've definitely stood still instead.

The Wargod No. 1 mech, which was in mid-air, had already gripped the alloy knife with a reverse grip at a lightning-like speed and was slashing right down at the light cavalry mech. How was the light cavalry treated so insignificantly? It was treated like an inanimate object.

Amidst the smoke, the two fighters clashed, the alloy knife against the laser sword.

Who knew that this would only happen once in the entire battle?

Both swords staggered, the laser sword was fiercely blocked off, and the Wargod No. 1 pushed forward with great might.

The sound rumbled like landslides!

In spite of the protection of the energy shield, the light cavalry mech was knocked down by the momentum.

Within the pilot cabin, Wild King was sent flying with great force.

Even though the mech armour was fine, it could not create a counter reaction to dampen the impact. It would have been much worse if a low quality armour was in place instead of the light cavalry.

The light cavalry armour could no longer afford any more movements. The alloy knife was heading straight for the kill.

Pound pound

Ancient European aristocracy had a type of sport that was still very much liked by the nobles and the rich. The sport was called fencing.

It included an action that produced high speed sword movements with a single hand.

A storm-like series of attacks combined into a single hit headed for the light cavalry mech

Bang…

In the time needed to blink an eye, the energy shield was ruptured and the light cavalry was sent flying once again.

The Wargod No. 1 stood still at the same spot and observed quietly

Boom…

Before the mech could even land, the cracks on the armor's chest deepened.

Everyone watched in silence. Those who were watching it live were petrified by the image.

This may be a fight, but no one would have expected these results.

This was a chain of hurricane-like blows!

This was the god – Skeleton!

In the Skeleton Corps, waves of hysterical screams resounded through the sky.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were bouncing around crazily in their bedroom.

This b*stard, he completely ruined the Wild King!

For someone of Wild King's standard to be so thoroughly defeated that he could not return an attack… This was madness!

"Is this bullying kids!?"

"I didn't even get the chance to see it properly and it's already over!? Was it all an illusion?"

The slow motion playback was already being screened.

The scene of the laser beam dodge was being played on the screen. The arc sliding step was a movement frequently used by expert players. In this case, the dodge was made with barely any breathing space from the laser beam at the most critical moment. This required extreme accuracy and technical control on the pilot's side.

However, this was only the beginning of the god-like play.

It was not the emergence of a phantom shadow, it was the pace that Wargod No. 1 executed the movement that was the most terrifying. The upper body and lower body seemed to move independently and thus distracted the opponent's judgment for just a moment, allowing him to dodge the attacks.

These phantom-like movements were called bewildering steps!

This was also used by top players to mislead opponents. It was rumored that this move was a favourite of military ace pilots.

However, this was only the beginning. If one could not stand watching at this point, their heart would have exploded after watching what came next.

It was clear that the distance between the two mecha was less than ten meters. The knife launched towards Wild King's laser gun with no mercy. Wild King's will and determination were absolutely firm. Anyone who had gone through the the same scenario would have been very frustrated, but Wild King was able to keep his composure and once again aim his laser gun for another accurate shot. But… the laser gun exploded after a hit from the alloy knife.

Wild King did not make the same mistake as the Little Red Noob; he immediately activated his energy shield. Some also felt that he should not have activated his energy shield.

That simple hit on the shoulder had an astounding effect. A closer look at the slow motion playback showed that the Wargod No. 1's shoulder was dented by the impact of the hit. What great force would this require!?

This tackle was sufficient to break the energy shield. Yet this was still not the limit for Skeleton. To make such a ferocious chain of attacks, even in CT, the pilots would have long ran out of breath. However, Skeleton's reign of terror had just begun,

Continuous lightning-like strikes!

For the energy shield, fast continuous blows would break it.

This was the official explanation; even children would also understand it. As for it to actually happen, it was more so a question of who could attack so fast with such accuracy and consistency!?

Wang Zheng's fingers and wrists played a pivotal role. In such a scenario, there was not enough arm-room towards the end, and the vibrations had to be generated by Wang Zheng. The superposition of the forces exerted by his fingers and wrists could also overcome the recoil force and push back the limit of the attack.

The energy shield was completely shattered and continuous pressure on it would create a force great enough to destroy the mech. If it were a real mech, the pilot inside would have been sent flying.

At the very last moment, what everyone saw was a light cavalry defeated as easily as a fallen leaf. Everyone felt helpless merely by watching.

The Wargod No. 1 stood in the centre of the arena, and it really did seem like the God of War at that instant.

Especially for the VVIPs watching amongst the audience, that immersive feeling was so refreshing that they could no longer control their excitement.

This was indeed a battle that could make one's blood run!

Wild King buried his hands in his head. He could not control his tears from falling. He refused to accept the outcome. It was not as though he had never experienced failure before, but after each failure, he would stand up and challenge his opponents.

But in this battle… he really felt helpless.

Only at this moment did he understand the meaning of the 'sorry' from the beginning of the battle.

The official analysis of the battle came out. Solon stopped believing in God and had chosen to put his faith in Skeleton.

The new video was coupled with Lin Huiyin's single – NOTAFRAID, making an invincibly sensational combination.

The number of viewers who paid for the live battle surpassed 100,000. Even 10 minutes after the battle had ended, most of the spectators had not left, and the number of people entering the arena was still increasing.

Everyone could only sigh.

Rainbow and his teammates looked at each other, speechless.

"If this man is not from the armed police forces, then he must be with the army…."

"Those actions… the average person's body could definitely not handle those, that'd be possible!"

"Who might this guy be? Only a number of people are capable of this, and even so, it will only be used under special circumstances."

"Boss, where could this guy who can perform miracles be from? My hands are itching from just watching the battle."

"Come on, want to know the answer? Join the Skeleton Corps!"

Rainbow said, while smiling. The battle was getting more and more interesting, and his intuition was right. Before the battle, he had a gut feeling that the standard and pace of this battle would be like no other.

And it really did happen. The opponent this time was really of another level. It was a real spectacle for spectators, but for other warriors, it was an eye-opener. It was the first time a warrior of such high standards had appeared.

Not to mention the fact that devil-like training would be required.

In a Milky Way Galaxy spaceship, Lin Huiyin was noisily enjoying popcorn.

"The opponent was so weak, and the battle was over too soon. So meaningless." Huiyin was musically inclined, but not so much on the battlefield.

She stretched out her snow-white legs and wriggled her toes playfully. "Angela, look how flexible my feet are. Bet you can't do this…"

Chapter 49: Boss, Don't Do This!

"That action was difficult. Even in Aslan, only a few people are capable of it."

"Ah… Can you do that?" Lin Huiyin jumped onto the sofa and asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, this person is worthy of being my opponent." The sides of Angela's mouth curled upwards into a smile. There was a hint of respect in her prideful tone.

Angela sat at a corner motionlessly with her brows firmly knitted together.

"Angela, it is not a good habit for girls to frown so often; it will just make you age faster. I was expecting more excitement from this battle. Who knew that the outcome was so predictable?"

"Your Highness, there is something wrong with this person!" Angela suddenly sounded.

"Oh, where's the problem?" Huiyin replied in interest.

Angela was a top-notch warrior that was recruited by her mother. It was definitely no easy feat to meet the extremely strict requirements of her mother.

Her mother was Aslan's iron fist Prime Minister and was famous throughout the galaxy – Kashawan Lin Aslan.

Fortunately, her mother adhered to the royal traditions and put all expectations of passing the legacy onto her cousin, and it was only so she had her freedom and happiness.

As for this trip, it greatly excited Huiyin. Who knows … maybe something big was about to happen.

In fact, countless people were anticipating an interview with Skeleton. However, as usual, Skeleton seemed to vanish instantly after every competition.

As for Wang Zheng, this was the first time he was concerned about his performance. It did not matter if Bonehead could unleash thousands of hits upon him, he just didn't want to disappoint Aina.

After taking off the connector from his body, Aina stared at him with great intensity without any expression on her face. Was it because the battle had ended too quickly?

Yes, Aina was from Aslan. She knew what had gone wrong with Wild King.

Perhaps he should have given the opponent the slightest bit of a chance.

正在王铮琢磨的时候,爱娜忽然凑了过来,在王铮的脸上轻轻的亲了一下.

Just as Wang Zheng was in the midst of pondering, Aina suddenly leaned forward and gently planted a kiss onto Wang Zheng's cheek.

"This was the most spectacular battle I have ever watched." Aina's face flushed a deep red, and her fingers quivered.

Wang Zheng stoned. It was his first time being kissed by a girl, despite his age, and it was from the girl of his dreams.

Wang Zheng suddenly acted on his impulse and hugged Aina. This was his deepest desire, to have her completely in his embrace; it was as though he had the entire world.

The guy has to take the initiative. Tyrant Su always mentioned countless tactics he could have used, but at this moment, Wang Zheng's mind was blank. Their hearts pounded furiously. For two people that fancied each other, it was enough to act on their instincts.

Wang Zheng had finally conquered the first kiss of the most beautiful princess of Aslan.

After a slight resistance, what was left was for the two of them to accept each other's love. Aina closed her mesmerizing eyes.

Her other half did not necessarily have to be a prince, but he must definitely be brave.

Time had stopped in the small room. Wang Zheng had greedily requested for that, like a child who knew no boundaries.

When the two stepped out of the room red-faced, the surrounding world looked blurry as though they were peering through virtual lenses.

The fat boss was a man of experience. He could not help but watch over the couple, helplessly shaking his head. "It's good to be young. Back in the years, I was also a charming romantic dude."

"Boss, didn't you say that you were even fatter back then?" an oblivious dude asked curiously.

The boss stood there blankly, memories of his past was smashed, "I'm going to deduct one day's worth of salary from you."

A cry of dismay resonated from the internet bar. "No… Boss.. please don't.. You are the most handsome of them all…"

Wang Zheng and Aina's relationship was fragile like a piece of paper, and it could be broken with a single poke. But to be able to cross the road holding hands meant happiness. It was something silly that Wang Zheng had never expected himself to fuss over, but now looking back, he was too prideful then.

Their fingers quickly intertwined together. In the maglev train, the pair sat facing each other. After sending Aina back, Wang Zheng made his way back to the school and lied on his hostel bunk. What had happened still felt like a dream.

At the same moment, Aina was also lying on the the bed in her heavily-guarded Shangri-La Presidential Suite. She touched her lips lightly, and her face blushed instantaneously. She was taught Aslan's culture of bravery and strength since young, but what Aina liked was a guy who possessed a warm heart.

She remembered the first time she laid eyes on Wang Zheng. She saw him outside her window, wandering around silly as the bell boy of the hotel. Aina was unsure what was it that captivated her, but she was completely lost in him. Without hesitation, her eyes had fixated on him as a goal. What she felt was unparalleled to any feeling before. Just why did he seem so attractive to her?

Aina's skylink interrupted her reminiscence. An image of a girl as beautiful as her popped up onto her screen.

"Dear cousin, you must have arrived. I will be at a concert in Beijing, and it would be great if you could join me." The girl in the image blinked. "Remember to bring the guy along."

Aina had only shared this secret with Huiyin. This little girl's gossipy heart was surely burning up.

Happiness and joy had to be shared, and Aina only had her cousin to confide in.

When the image disappeared, Aina was slightly frustrated. This fellow was causing unrest, so she had to be extra careful.

Wang Zheng's eyes were shut, sweetly recalling the event. He opened his eyes to find two big faces pressed against his.

"Shit… what do you two want!"

When Wang Zheng sat up, Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun's expressions were filled with mischief. "Brother, seems like something good happened. You can share it with us!"

"Wang Zheng, as the dorm leader, you should share with us your experiences as a leader," Ailun laughed.

"What has happened to me? It seems like you guys can't wait to share your excitement."

Wang Zheng was not stupid. If the two of them found out about the truth, he would be ridiculed to death by them.

"Our great god of war crushed some rotten twigs! It was just too cool. I am just worried that Wild King will be permanently traumatised," Chen Xiu said.

Yao Ailun adjusted his spectacles and revealed a smile of wisdom. "Wang Zheng, don't try changing the topic. As the dorm leader, you should not only care about your own happiness… Brother, speak!"

The conversation was getting a little out of hand, and Wang Zheng did not know whether to cry or laugh.

"I am just a beginner when it comes to dating. I am still unsure as to who I should consult for advice. Don't you already have a target in mind?"

"Needless to say! I have discovered that it is disadvantageous to be too smart."

Yao Ailun lamented. Wang Zheng suddenly remembered that his goal was An Mei too.

"Brother Zheng, you are amazing. To this day, I have yet to have seen someone as beautiful as Shishi. Even those superstars can't hold a candle to her beauty."

Chen Xiu was deeply envious.

Wang Zheng had reasons to be proud. Aina was truly unmatchable. If this were to get out, every guy in the Milky Way would be out to get him.

"Brother, does she have a sister? Do introduce us!"

Ailun was quick to cut the chase and asked him directly.

Wang Zheng scratched his nose. "I will ask for you. How are things going with the Skeleton Corps?"

"There is a sudden surge. Let me take a look first. There are another bunch of applicants…. Is this not Wild King?!"

Chen Xiu said in shock.

To the proud Wild King, this failure was a crippling blow to his self-confidence. With his elite talent and valuable street fighting experience, once he entered Apollo College, he was known as an invincible and undefeatable man in the world of CT. How could he have met with failure here?

After all, he was still young.

But Wang Zheng's 'sorry' before the match became Wild King's life-saving straw. He wanted to understand the reason behind it, and because of that, he could not give up all hope on himself.

The best way was to join the Skeleton Corps himself.

With his street survival experiences, he had learned to always pick himself up after failures, and this was the only way he could better himself.

Chen Xiu did not hesitate to accept Wild King's application. Wild King was not the first applicant, and he would not be the last. At this point in time, the Skeleton Corps was urgently in need of skillful players to guide the rookies. Little Red Noob was one, and now they had Wild King with them, so the number of experienced players was slowly increasing.

The world always had to give rookies breathing space to survive. Who knew, one of them might be the one to create miracles.

They could not simply give up because of the low statistical probability, and more often than not, this person would have the abilities to reach for the peak.

Wang Zheng glanced at the management styles of the two. There was a clear division of labor, and it was pretty interesting to witness, similar to a lively community.

Wang Zheng was pretty delighted with himself. After all, so many people admired him.

The problem was that he had to speed up his training and channel enough battle energy to usher Bonehead out. He was looking for a reasonable explanation for this mutation, but looking at Bonehead's situation, he was unlikely to get the answer he was looking for.

When he thought about Aina, these problems suddenly vanished like clouds. As long as there was a path, he did not have to care that much.

Wang Zheng giggled to himself while lying on his bed, and he suddenly had an extreme urge to meet her. It was not as though they has been separated for a long while.

After much hesitation, Wang Zheng decided to send Aina a message. "What are you doing?"

It was pretty lame, but this is just what couples are like. Almost immediately, he received a reply from Aina.

... she had replied with the same message.

The princess was human too, and those in love have similar trains of thought.

Then the pair continued with the meaningless mundane conversation. Even discussing a nonsensical topic could give them half a day's worth of happiness.

Yao Ailun could not help but shake his head. "Oh, it is another fool that fell into the pit of love. "

"Brother, isn't this just because of love?"

"Stupid man, you have to keep yourself logical when in love. The one who cares more will get hurt more, so we have to have a sensible approach," Ailun lectured, as though he was a professor on the topic.

Chen Xiu looked confused. "My mom said that you have to use your heart if it's love."

"Did your mom not tell you that all women are tigers?" Ailun glared at Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu shook his head.

"Let me tell you: all women are scary, and they might eat you alive if you are not careful. Just look at Wang Zheng; he will be lucky if he is just left with 10% of his intelligence. He has been talking about the weather for the past half an hour; he could even be a news reporter now."

Chapter 50: Big Brother Really Doesn't Want to Stand Out

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Whenever An Mei returned to the dormitory, she naturally gravitated towards Ye Zisu. Meng Tian was just too cold and unapproachable. Although she wasn't a bad person at heart, they simply couldn't get along.

This Wang Zheng was truly fickle when it came to matters of the heart. He had quietly gotten a girlfriend of his own.

When Ye Zisu heard about what happened from her friend, on the surface, she seemed extremely calm. However, deep down in her heart, Ye Zisu couldn't believe it. She considered herself as one of those who knew Wang Zheng a bit better. During his entire time in middle school, no one paid any attention to him. Furthermore, during the holidays, he had gone to OMG to intern as a mechanic. When did he ever have the time to look for a girlfriend?

Furthermore, Wang Zheng was the type of guy that took a long time to warm up to people. When she heard that he had suddenly gotten a girlfriend, she truly couldn't believe it.

An Mei could see that Ye Zisu seemed unconvinced of the circumstance. "Susu, I have also talked to her. No matter how you see it, she is a formidable opponent. I feel as though she is absolutely invulnerable! You need to be careful."

"However, I believe that with Susu's qualities, you are more than capable of beating her. It's not like she is a three-headed six-armed monster," said Du Qingqing.

The two of them were extremely curious about Wang Zheng. To be honest, she and An Mei felt it was quite strange. Although Wang Zheng wasn't ugly, he didn't seem to possess any exceptional qualities either. They didn't understand which part of him had captivated Meng Tian and Ye Zisu, two individuals with completely polar opposite personalities.

So what if his military performance wasn't bad? It did not warrant such popularity!

Furthermore, he had silently and wordlessly gotten himself an amazing girlfriend?

"Oh, and before I forget, our Art Club's leader has asked us to speed things up. He was supposed to model for us! What happened to him? Has he gone back on his word?" asked Du Qingqing suddenly, directing her question at Ye Zisu.

Ye Zisu understood her meaning. Her friend was trying to console her by casting doubt on Wang Zheng's qualities as a person and his lack of commitment to a promise made.

"However, Susu, I will still support you wholeheartedly. Even if there is a struggle, it is only an internal one. We can't let some outsiders intrude onto our territory and steal our natural resources[1]!"

An Mei clenched her fists and continued to speak. "Tyrant Su will be our source of insider information. I will extract as much information from him as possible."

Ye Zisu bit her lip as she replied, "It's all up to you now."

An Mei and Du Qingqing looked each other in the eye. Deep down they were shocked. On the surface, Ye Zisu was a gentle and kind person. But inside, she was extremely haughty. Seeing her admit defeat and look to them for help, especially concerning matters of the heart… such a situation felt so surreal!

As an exchange student, Aina didn't come to Ares College just to date; she was also here to learn. Some of her lessons overlapped with Wang Zheng's schedule. For instance, they both attended Xiao Fei's lesson together. Even on an intergalactic scale, Xiao Fei was considered to be at the top of her field.

The two lovebirds had already exchanged timetables the day before. Today, the two of them would get to go to class together.

Wang Zheng had arrived extremely early to reserve a seat and was listening to music as he waited for Aina to arrive.

"Do you like to listen to Huiyin's music?" Aina smiled as she sat next to Wang Zheng.

"This song isn't bad; you can really feel her energy through the lyrics. I prefer to listen to songs that get your blood boiling," replied Wang Zheng as he removed his earpiece.

Aina gave him a wry smile. "She used your battle footage in your MV. Aren't you proud of that?"

Wang Zheng suddenly pulled Aina's hand, staring at his princess with pupils ablaze. "Do you know what I'm most proud of?"

Aina's face turned red. This bastard was becoming more and more audacious.

The two of them were interrupted by the sound of a bell, signifying the start of class. A new teacher walked in and immediately move towards the podium.

"Good morning, everyone. I am your substitute teacher, Professor Marcus."

Marcus' eyes swept across the entire classroom, surveying his temporary students. Immediately, the whole lecture theatre started gossiping animatedly. Marcus was well-known as the foremost expert of the Math Department. For him to teach a freshmen class… such a thing was unheard of! What was happening this year? First, Professor Xiao Fei started giving lectures, and now Marcus was teaching freshmen?

However, such news was only beneficial for the freshmen.

"Everyone here should know that mathematics is the foundation of science. The millions of things in the universe can all be expressed as a beautiful mathematical equation. Even love."

Marcus had very quickly earned a round of applause.

The more amazing a teacher was, the more likely they had abnormal standards. They were erudite and could use simple methods to convey complicated information. Furthermore, they could stimulate one's own thinking processes.

Marcus had no choice but to take a freshmen class. He was still unable to identify his mystery genius student, and Xiao Fei wasn't helping him in the slightest. However, Marcus felt that she seemed to be hiding something. Regardless, since the student was of this school and was a freshman, there would definitely be a way to identify him. Thus, he had chosen to conduct this class to see if he could discover this genius student. However, he had yet to obtain any positive results. At this rate, Marcus could only continue to do this for another month before giving up his search. It simply wasn't possible to keep teaching the freshmen classes, because his own research was already extremely time-consuming.

Aina was usually quite a responsible student who paid attention in class. Unfortunately, what Marcus taught was something that Aina already understood. Aslan's elite would receive their education from the early age of 3, and thus Aina's intellect could not be compared to an average individual's. However, she could still feel that Marcus was of a high caliber.

As one of Earth's three traditional colleges, the standard was not as bad as she had expected. Imparting knowledge was one thing, but being able to create was something else entirely. If the ability to innovate was constrained, it would still be extremely difficult to progress.

Marcus quickly finished the lesson in half of the allocated time before pausing. "One has to be nimble in their thinking and be willing to try. As the famous adage goes, dare to dream and dare to act. I have here a solution to one of Marloca's conjectures. I believe that most of you have heard of it; the First Step is as such. Who here can understand this?"

Saying which, Marcus began to write out a complicated equation on the blackboard.

Wang Zheng, on the other hand, was only looking at Aina. Aina couldn't help but reply, "We are in class; what is so great about looking at me?"

"Shishi, are you trying to say that the old man on the podium is better-looking?"

As he said that, he continued to tug at Aina's hand. Aina attempted to struggle slightly before eventually giving up and letting Wang Zheng grasp her hand tightly.

The entire class was absolutely silent. Even though all of them were geniuses in their own respective countries, this equation truly stumped them.

Aina stared at the equation momentarily. Although she had previously understood this, she would never flaunt her knowledge.

At this point, a short-haired man stood up. "Professor, is this equation trying to say that with Rodriguez's theory as a basis, using computational analysis…"

The short-haired man greatly enjoyed being in the limelight, yet he had even greater hopes that the girl sitting in the front row would turn to look at him.

Marcus nodded continuously as the guy continued to speak; his answer was not that bad. "What's your name?"

"Landry Busen."

Said the guy slightly haughtily. The rest of the class began to whisper amongst themselves, and one after another began to pay attention to him.

Landry Busen was a mathematics genius. He had entered the Sol System's Top 10 new stars. He had risen to fame by completely explaining Moore's theory, an influential figure in middle school.

However, after entering Ares College, he was disappointed to find out that Marcus did not teach any freshmen classes.

Landry Busen was determined to use his own abilities to gain Marcus' attention. A diamond's luster could not be obstructed by dirt.

While he was explaining, Wang Zheng and the beautiful girl continued to whisper and giggle, completely disregarding him.

Landry Busen started to get agitated. This bastard! Although he was from the Physics Department, he wanted to enter the Mecha Department's special training. However, he was transported back half-dead after being kicked out. He had no sense of shame and could still act so happy and contented.

"Excellent explanation, Student Busen." Marcus gestured for Landry to sit down. This brat could indeed be the one. He had also heard of Landry Busen's name. This was an extremely learned and gifted student.

Busen did not sit down but instead looked at the front row. "Professor Marcus, I heard that among us there is a genius from the Physics Department; even Professor Xiao Fei holds him in high esteem. He often engages in lively conversations with the Professor in class. Since mathematics and physics are quite closely related, I would like to hear his opinion on this equation."

"Oh?" Marcus looked at the front row. "Who might this student be?"

"Student Wang Zheng, what are your opinions on Marloca's First Step conjecture?"

Busen had singled out Wang Zheng to challenge him.

The surrounding students immediately felt antagonism and tension fill in the room. Yet our dear Student Wang did not even notice that he had become the center of attention. In the Physics Department, Xiao Fei's high opinion of him had already aroused the ire of many. Aina's appearance had only caused that fire to turn into an inferno.

In this day and age of dating, a girl chasing a guy would be very direct. If there was a goalkeeper, it would motivate one to score even more! However, to score in this goal would have a price.

It was not that Wang Zheng was not listening in class. Rather, he had already completely understood the entire theory a long time ago. During dear Student Wang's pointless childhood and middle school, he had spent all his time playing with the theory of numbers with the Old Merchant. Hence, when it came to things like drinking and playing, he was a complete amateur.

Aina lightly pushed him and said, in a low voice, "Let us take turns to handle this; there is no need to be scared of him!"

The entire class's curious gazes fell on Wang Zheng. They wanted to see if this bastard's luck would continue to hold.

Wang Zheng stood up, glanced at the equation on the board, and mulled for a minute before beginning to speak. "Marloca's First Step conjecture utilizing Rodriguez's theory is extremely wonderful."

At this point in time, the entire class burst out into laughter. Was this not rubbish? This was one of the world's most famous theories; why would one need to praise it?

Just as Aina was planning to say something, the words remained stuck in her throat. The sort of smile Wang Zheng had on his face was something that seemed vaguely familiar. She had often see her father and her aunt have the same sort of smile.

"However, Marloca's conjecture mainly relies on the fact that spatial jumps are able to break the space barrier. However, Rodriguez's theory's explanation is purely theoretical. In practice, it is being phased out as his explanation for passing through the barrier would result in a deviation of approximately a 0.1%. This deviation is already considered to be significant. With the necessity of spatial theory being more precise over time, this theory would also have to be phased out. Currently, the most practical solution would be to use Mill's equation as the first step. In this case, the chance of deviation would fall to a 0.01% instead."

The entire class fell silent. Busen's face was plastered with disdain. Was this guy joking? What was this Mill's equation that he was talking about? He had never even heard of it.

"Student Wang, is Mill's something you can eat? I have never eaten it before; has anyone here eaten it before?"

At this point, a raucous laughter could be heard in the room.

However, Marcus did not laugh. In fact, his heart already knew. "Hehe, Student Wang Zheng, Mill's equation has not been verified, and there are still some shortcomings in that equation."

"Professor, you said that we have to dare to try. Mill's equation replacing Rodriguez's theory is just a matter of time. At the very least, the first step has already been completed. A good start is half the road to success."

"Hehe. Really? Why don't you explain this first step?" Marcus smiled.

Aina stared at Wang Zheng. This was also the first time she had heard of this. A Princess wasn't all-knowing. The mainstream view was that of Rodriguez's theory, and furthermore, it had been in use for almost 10 years.

Everyone stared at Wang Zheng. Spouting nonsense was useless; he had to prove it.

A large number of students was hoping to see Wang Zheng stammer and make up an excuse, but much to their surprise, Wang Zheng got up and walked over to the blackboard.

Chapter 51: This Math Class Really is Excellent!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Student Wang was not particularly interested in standing out, but as he was provoked, especially in front of Aina, he would definitely not let this go.

Wang Zheng paused momentarily in front of the blackboard before beginning to furiously scribble equation after equation.

Originally, Marcus was not very impressed. However, his expression quickly changed. The disdain on Busen's face gradually froze into a look of fear and horror. He could only understand a small portion of it!

As an influential figure of mathematics in the Sol Systems, the Sol System's federation possessed unparalleled libraries of information. He had the best resources and means, and yet …

Marcus continued to nod his head, Aina who was sitting below the stage, was similarly transfixed at the sight. She could understand the vast majority of it, but there were some things in Wang Zheng's workings that were beyond her.

After a period of time, the entire blackboard was filled with symbols. The audience was deathly silent, awaiting Marcus's judgment.

Marcus walked over and pointed at a string of inferences at the center. "How did you think of this?"

GOD!

His tone was that of one in a discussion…

Wang Zheng did not think much of it. He had often argued with the Old Merchant. The way he saw it, the Old Merchant was like a library, and their discussions would evolve seamlessly and endlessly. Discussing such a minor topic with a professor wasn't a problem.

Glancing at another string of explanations made by Wang Zheng, Marcus couldn't help but nod and smile. "Were you the one who solved the equation on the blackboard the other time?"

Wang Zheng stared blankly before nodding. "That was done casually."

"Haha, I finally understand why Xiao Fei feigned complete ignorance about you," Marcus said as he nodded his head.

"What Student Wang Zheng said here is completely right. However, this method of analysis is at the very forefront of the Milky Way Galaxy and is only for the purposes of our discussion. It will not be examinable. Everyone here does not need to consider this at all."

Following which, Marcus erased everything on the board. To the average student, this would completely ruin things with his enthusiasm.

It has to be said that everyone was completely dazed. As Wang Zheng returned to his seat, Aina stealthily gave him a thumbs up. That charming, adorable look led Wang Zheng to want to give her an embrace and a kiss.

Girls were made to be conquered!

Aina truly believed that those supposed geniuses could not compare with Wang Zheng. Who would dare say that Earth's standards were low? It was just that the Aslan Empire was just too ignorant!

Aina did not dare to represent the highest tier of geniuses in Aslan; however, she would not place Xiao Fei in disregard. She now understood how far away Wang Zheng stood compared to her.

He had such innate ability, yet he was so hardworking. There was no one else like him!

Busen wordlessly sat down. He truly could not understand the whole thing. Thus, he could not even retort. The words from the Professor had affected him, and he had been reduced to the position of just an ordinary person.

How could a monster like this have been completely unknown in middle school?

Aina, on the other hand, knew that this guy only liked to score 60 points on his tests. It could be seen that Wang Zheng had quite the humble personality.

This lesson had indeed been quite fruitful, especially for Professor Marcus. Most importantly, he had identified the genius! There was no escape for him!

He had once heard Xiao Fei mention that she had found a student with great potential. However, this student had wanted to join the Mecha Department. That was absolutely unacceptable! It would signify a great loss for the scientific world!

How could those weapon brandishing barbarians compare with the scientists that pushed the very frontiers of human society?

In this regard, he was definitely with Xiao Fei on this one.

The moment the class ended, Busen came to Wang Zheng. "What reference book did you use? Where did you discover this argumentative proof?"

Wang Zheng smiled. "In actuality, I have no clue as to what I wrote. You should be able to find it in the Milky Way's databases."

Finishing which, he grabbed Aina and left the classroom. The moment they left the classroom, Aina couldn't help but laugh. "You're so despicable, mocking that poor guy."

"Who asked him to look at you so lecherously?!" Wang Zheng replied with a feigned expression of seriousness.

Aina grinned. "What? Are you jealous?"

"You should reward me once for being jealous for your sake. Furthermore, I performed so well that you should reward me twice!"

Wang Zheng very quickly revealed his wolfish nature. He had managed to taste the sweetness of success yesterday. It was as though he had tasted the immortal fruit, and nothing else could compare to it.

"What? I didn't hear that."

She was like the Little Red Riding Hood who escaped from the wolf.

Since he could not convince her with his logic, Dear Student Wang was determined to use force. "Don't run; if I catch you, I will punish you with three strokes instead!"

His math was indeed brilliant.

After training in an abyss of suffering, Student Wang felt as though he was in heaven. Fortunate times often came without warning; Wang Zheng had also received an email from Solon. He wanted to ask if Wang Zheng was willing to participate in an interview, and for every question he answered, he would receive ten thousand Milky Way coins.

Solon was extremely polite. This plan of his was still in the budding stages and thus his funding was not exceptionally abundant. However, it could not be too low if he wanted to attract Wang Zheng.

Student Wang was at a loss. How could something like this happen!? It was as though someone was literally giving him money, and on top of that, flattering him endlessly. In his mind, an image of Skeleton appeared. Whether Bonehead needed the money or not, he did not know. However, what he did know was that he lacked money, and this opportunity could not be more welcome.

On the other hand, Wang Zheng knew that it wouldn't be good to do this too often. In all honesty, Wang Zheng would have preferred it if he could just answer a single question occasionally and not be made into a public figure on the CT forums.

Wang Zheng was not particularly interested in becoming a celebrity of CT. He was perfectly content with CT being able to sustain his lifestyle. Occasionally being able to enjoy the thrill of battle and being able to gain Battle Energy was sufficient. Hopefully it would not change his current lifestyle.

All in all, Solon was well on his way.

After receiving Wang Zheng's reply, Solon's heart finally settled down. The current him was sitting in the Sol System's Earth and Moon CT headquarters.

On the other hand, such a sight wasn't strange. Ever since a couple hundred years back, upon the advent of the internet, the internet conglomerates were already on par with traditional commodity trading conglomerates. They possessed terrifyingly large amounts of resources and channels to obtain what they needed.

With Solon's unconventional success, it had stirred up some noise among the inner echelons of CT upper management.

For today's meeting, the key question was to decide if they ought to increase the level of Skeleton's competitors.

Solon was prepared to increase the amount of publicity afforded to Skeleton. However, the higher ups were not convinced of such a move.

"Hehe, Solon, it should be said that this risky plan of yours is inappropriate! We have no need to take such a risk!"

"I am of the same opinion. I have seen his battles; they are all extremely thrilling. Even if he were to continue winning, there are still too many unforeseen parameters! Who is he? What if he wants to stop? What would we do then?"

The board members continued to throw out more and more reasons to dismiss Solon's idea. On one hand, they were truly concerned about the riskiness of the proposal. On the other hand, they were unwilling to see Solon have an unprecedented amount of success.

If Solon grew from this success, he could potentially climb over them!

McLaren, the Sol System's Board Chairman, was absolutely silent. He continued to let the other board members bicker. Solon also possessed some supporters, but they were not as significant. Furthermore, Solon's own position on the board was not high.

After arguing for half a day, McLaren raised his hand to signal silence. "Solon, with your excellent track record, you deserve a large year-end bonus. Your dedication to the company shall be rewarded accordingly. A key reason for your success is attributed to Lin Huiyin using Skeleton's battle footage to create her MV. If not for that, this would not have been possible."

After listening to the Chairman's words, everyone knew what he was hinting at. McLaren clearly wanted to continue with the plan; Solon's luck was just too good.

Although he was not superstitious, it was always best to do things after considering one's fortune. Solon, that old bastard, was so lucky that such a golden opportunity was literally knocking on his door. His success seemed very likely.

"Mr. McLaren, Sir, I will swiftly commence the plan. Hopefully, I will be able to cooperate with Ms. Lin. On the other hand, I have managed to gain Skeleton's agreement in carrying out an interview with him. During the period where Ms. Lin Huiyin will be carrying out her tour, we will have a massive opportunity which we need to capitalize on. If we don't, we will definitely regret it!"

Solon was extremely confident. At times, he would struggle tenaciously and would claw his way through adversity. This cautious approach had been a key factor in his success. As he presented his case to the board, he made sure to carefully and cautiously select his words.

McLaren nodded his head. "The benefits are great, but this is still a company. What we are concerned with are profits. Such mass advertisement would break all precedence and take up the vast majority of our advertising resources. I'm sure you understand that. Thus, the reward…"

"McLaren, Sir! I am both the proposer and implementer of this plan. I would like to thank everyone for giving me this chance. If anything unfortunate happens, I will take responsibility!"

Solon spoke very calmly. At this stage, he was already forced into desperate straits, so he could only advance and not back down.

Frankly speaking, this wasn't very difficult for him. When he thought of the situation he was in several months back, he was already at his wit's end. At the very least he still had the luxury of choice right now and could even influence the outcome.

"Very good. So long as you understand. This plan has been approved. All the departments should try and cater to his demands. I do not want to see problems arising from disunity. Any problems that crop up will be borne by the group collectively!"

Spoke McLaren solemnly. As CT's top management member, his word was law.

It was very clear from what he had said and done that McLaren was very supportive of this plan.

Solon had numerous problems, but McLaren also had problems of his own.

In the Sol System, Earth's performance was not outstanding. In the Milky Way coalition, the Sol System's performance was average. If McLaren wanted his company to stand out, he would need a player with huge future potential to draw the eyes of the masses!

At McLaren's position, he was not worried about stability but rather his reputation!

As the meeting came to a close, applause rang out. However, one could see the false smiles that lay on some of the board members' faces. They were all waiting to see a joke come to fruition. Seeing Solon climb to his position and stay on for such a long time… it was clearly time for him to retire! Yet here he was, tenaciously clinging on and placing all his hopes on a single individual… an individual which he knew nothing about! This was just too risky and uncertain! Furthermore, while Skeleton has had a lucky streak, no one could truly be that lucky! Skeleton's and Solon's downfall was guaranteed!

Solon was clearly staking everything on this one throw.

Solon strutted out of the room vigorously. He finally experienced his second wind, and at such an age to boot! He was finally able to do what he enjoyed after working in CT for so many years. He had climbed from a lowly programmer position until he became the Earth Sector's vice chairman and the one in charge of the Asian Region. He had already forgotten the joy of strife and was no different from a puppet. However, today he felt truly invigorated.

Sometimes one has to trust their intuition. Although he had never met Skeleton, as a CT addict, he had watched Skeleton's battle recordings endlessly, re-living every detail.

Technique, physical ability, experience, and even his psychological state. One could unearth all of this from paying attention to the details.

Skeleton was truly a peerless and fearsome warrior.

Even though there were times where his performance seemed slightly strange, Solon's intuition told him that Skeleton was definitely not very old. However, watching the battle seemed to show that he was a 40-plus year old experienced warrior who was at the peak. There was no other way to explain how he could have carried out the actions shown in the videos.

Even then, was there any meaning to it even if he did find out Skeleton's true identity?

If one wanted to accomplish something, they could not spend their time dreaming.

On the other hand, our dear Student Wang was completely oblivious to his impact on the upper management of CT! His performance in the arena had created such conflict among the board of directors!

Chapter 52: Devoted to Art

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Skeleton Corps was ranked first in popularity amongst the legions. The participation of masters, like Rainbow and Wild King, had brought great heat as well.

Rainbow and Wild King were both capable of carrying people in team games. Rainbow crushed his opponents with his equipment, and Wild King had the ability to crush the opponents violently. It was undeniable that a good scout could make a turnaround; this made quite a few people enjoy the feeling of winning from behind.

Just like the idiom said, two heads are better than one. Though the teammates' abilities might be limited, if they had a good captain, they could still create miracles.

Rainbow and Wild King never had the experience of being so popular. They logged in every now and then if they had a bit of free time, to see whether they could bump into Skeleton.

In fact, people were just imagining how it would feel like if they could team up and fight alongside Skeleton.

The pentakill last time was surely unforgettable.

Yao Ailun, Chen Xiu, and Tyrant Su gained the most advantage. Because of the positions they played, they got a lot of chances to win under the lead of Rainbow. Basically, they only needed to assist in the team game, and they could watch Rainbow's violent outburst kill the opponents fiercely.

After the courses in the morning, Wang Zheng received Ye Zisu's message, saying she wanted to invite him and Shishi to a meal.

Of course, he couldn't reject this invitation. Sooner or later they would have to meet. Moreover, he had something to tell her; except Xiaosu, only Zisu could more or less recognize Aina.

Ye Zisu was mentally prepared; she knew that the girl Wang Zheng liked would surely be excellent, but she had confidence in herself too. When Wang Shishi appeared in front of her, Ye Zisu was still amazed.

She met Wang Zheng for the first time when he brought her the love letter from Yan Xiaosu. The ridicule she made was actually generated by a girl's reserved manner and natural pride, or maybe unconsciously she was just trying to catch his attention.

At the birthday party, the sudden appearance of Princess Aslan did cause an astonishment to the crowd, but no one actually cared.

They were like two parallel lines, two parallel lines in two different times and spaces, but now Aina Aslan was just sitting in front of her. Even though her hair colour was changed, Zisu still recognized her at the first sight.

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Zisu, Shishi is here to study just for a few months, and her identity still needs to be kept secret."

Ye Zisu smiled and offered her hand. "Shishi, welcome. I think we can be good friends!"

The two girls gently shook their hands, and Aina's face lit up. It seemed like they recognised each other's confidence.

Ye Zisu did have one advantage that Aina didn't have.

"Shishi, in Beijing, if you have any troubles, you should go ask help from Zisu, as Tyrant Su is not reliable."

"Hehe, now you call him Tyrant Su too." Ye Zisu couldn't hold back her smile. She really didn't know what Xiaomei was thinking when she came up with such a nickname. Honestly, it was quite easy to remember, and it was sort of likeable.

They had lunch in the school's canteen. The food was plain, but although the quality of the food was not up to their usual level, both girls had a good appetite.

Student Wang didn't really pay attention to these sorts of details. He was starving; he was hungry all the time, and he needed to eat several times more than an average man.

Ye Zisu laughed and said, "You can eat so much; you are definitely hard to provide for."

"Having a good appetite is the happiest thing in the world," said Aina.

"Well, that is true. By the way, Du Qingqing is going to have some issues. You promised to be the model of the art club, but you haven't checked in yet."

"Ah, so many things are going on recently. I will go there after I finish my classes in the afternoon."

Wang Zheng did forget the promise he made. Maybe he was just timid when he thought of the "superboy" president of the art club.

"Yeah. With a beauty by your side, even if it were me, I would also get fascinated."

Ye Zisu ridiculed. She had liked Wang Zheng for four years from the beginning of secondary school. She thought they wouldn't have a chance to meet, but destiny was really funny sometimes. After a series of incidents, they even got admitted to Ares College together.

She didn't think she would have no opponents, Meng Tian was one of them, but she didn't even think of having an opponent like Aina.

But she knew she had one advantage that Aina couldn't compare with.

Ye Zisu and Aina became friends, as expected; they had a lot of common topics. Wang Zheng also hoped that Aina could make as many friends as possible when she was here.

But when it came to the art club, Wang Zheng felt really frustrated. He had never modelled before.

After the classes in the afternoon, Wang Zheng braced himself for the art club. A real man should always keep his promises.

After all, they wouldn't kill him.

When he arrived at the art club, Du Qingqing was already waiting at the door.

"Yo, the busy bee is finally here. It's really not easy to invite you."

Du Qingqing ridiculed.

"*cough, cough* Classmate Qingqing, please let me off for Zisu's sake. If you think I'm not capable for modelling, please don't hesitate to fire me."

Du Qingqing coiled her long hair. It was quite noticeable that she took really good care of her hair. Every strand of hair was so smooth and sleek. Girls with long hair and gentle character could always touch the heart of boys, and that image also matched an artist's temperament.

"You are nervous before we even start; this is not your style."

Wang Zheng touched his nose. When did he ever have such a "style?"

There were ten odd people waiting in the studio, most of them girls, with two boys in between.

The president, Zhang Runan, was also here. She took a look at Wang Zheng with a poker face. "Take off your clothes!"

Wang Zheng was frightened. Taking off his clothes in front of so many people?

The audience laughed. It seemed like Wang Zheng was not the first one who had gotten pranked. Du Qingqing held back her laughter and said, "The fitting room is just over there. You just need to take off your top. Today we are only drawing a portrait of your upper body."

Wang Zheng let out a sigh of relief. What a nuisance! Why was there a habit of pranking the newcomers everywhere.

The club members all prepared the brushes and the paint. Wang Zheng also got out of the fitting room pretty fast, as it wasn't an issue for him to take off his top.

But no one could handle the awkwardness of being stared by a tomboy like Zhang Runan.

The members, on the other hand, were quite amazed. Wang Zheng didn't have a body builder's body, let alone when he had his shirt on. But when he took off his top, the flowing lines of his muscles were truly a pleasant view, especially to an Asian's aesthetic.

When people started to enter the mood of creativity, the studio became a lot quitter. Wang Zheng maintained a position as required. An artist needed a good model to refer to. Human beings were the most difficult to draw, as they were the most familiar, and that's also the reason why it was more demanding.

A good model could inspire the artists. There was only the sound of drawing in the studio room now.

It's quite tiring to be a model, keeping the same position for so long. After one hour, Wang Zheng's first modelling experience was finally over.

He himself was quite curious about how himself would look like in the paintings.

"You wanna look?"

Wang Zheng nodded. However, classmate Wang was quite speechless. The person in the picture looked nothing like him; it was a monster.

"This is me?"

"We are not cameras; the model is merely our source material, and we have to put our imagination in the drawing. The President's picture is the best."

Du Qingqing gasped in admiration.

…Classmate Wang wasn't curious about her drawing at all.

"Superboy" president unusually nodded. "Good, it's all for today. Please hand in your pictures to me."

Wang Zheng didn't fetch his breath until the "superboy" president left.

Du Qingqing smiled and said, "Seems like you are afraid of our president."

"Well, your president has a strong aura."

"Haha, that's true. But it's pretty rare to hear her praise someone. You are quite good. You didn't move at all in one hour; it's like you were born to be a model."

The models they had before, whether they were professionals or amateurs, often moved around. Models like Wang Zheng were too rare.

What classmate Wang was most afraid of was the phrase "born to be a model." He didn't want to have anything more to do with this.

"My mission is done. I need to go first."

Du Qingqing smiled and said, "Goodbye, and thank you. Ask Susu to treat you to a meal."

She couldn't help but smile. What an interesting person. It was no wonder Zisu and Meng Tian would fight over him, but he had a girlfriend already.

What a pity!

Nevertheless, art was always good. You can be the master in the world of art.

When Wang Zheng found Aina waiting for him when he stepped out the door, a sudden warmth rushed to his heart.

"How come you are here?"

"I was afraid of you getting eaten by those tigresses, so I'm here to save you."

"Did you see the president just now?"

"There's only one guy who walked out just now, but isn't the president a girl?"

Aina asked with a sense of curiosity, then she finally tumbled when she saw the odd look on Wang Zheng's face.

"Now you finally understand. It was so painful to be stared at by her for a whole hour."

"You just made a contribution to art. Anyway, let me give you a reward."

With this, she left a small peck on Wang Zheng's cheek, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.

This was not enough. Wang Zheng took Aina in his arms and gave her a long french kiss. Aina could barely breathe.

Wang Zheng wouldn't be planning to let go if they were not in public.

"You are getting so much worse!"

Aina murmured.

Wang Zheng's eyes took on a hurt expression. "You shouldn't blame it on me. If you really want to blame something, you should blame your beauty."

"I didn't know you were good at speech. Why is it that I didn't see it before?"

Aina rolled her eyes.

"Well, I'm a genius; I don't even need to learn."

"A genius of 28!"

"Great job! Make fun of me more! You are looking for trouble."

"Ah, you want to bully me again!"

Aina ran away laughing while Wang Zheng chased her. How good it would be if time could stop at this moment?

Looking at the lovely princess in front of him, Wang Zheng was filled with happiness and pride. It didn't matter even if the world would end in the future. That was a problem for the future.

As time went by day by day, the special training members were finally back. Masasi became the captain, while Zhang Shan had surprisingly become the vice captain.

Zhou Mu would officially bring forward Zhang Shan's double degree application to the school. Of course, personally, he suggested that Zhang Shan should have switched majors as well.

Zhang Shan had shown his great potential in the special training. After all, he didn't even have any systematic training; all he did was work out to keep himself in shape. His physical fitness was one in a million.

Due to the influence of his family, Zhang Shan did have an interest in physics. His ambition was shown during the military training, and after this special training, some factors were inspired too. He liked the feeling of battle.

The full members of the team were: Masasi, Zhang shan, Ma xiao, Meng tian, and Jiang Bing. Bench player: Guan tao.

The whole school was anticipating this meeting; it would be so shameful if they got defeated in the home court.

Zhang Shan received a warm welcome when he got back to his dormitory.

"Brother Shan, you are so wonderful! I think you are even stronger!" Chen xiu said, with a sense of jealousy. His own body was too thin.

"Pftt, his brain must have gotten squeezed," Classmate Ailun ridiculed.

Chapter 53: Seizing Control of the Rank Advancement Match

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Wang Zheng, what happened to you? It's such a pity you couldn't attend the training session!" said Zhang Shan.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "I couldn't help it. My body's fatigue caught up with me. This happens for a couple days every month."

Everyone around him stared blankly before laughing out loud. "If you can laugh at this, something is definitely up."

"Hehe, Brother Shan, Brother Zheng has already gotten a girlfriend. Everyone is looking at him in envy," said Chen Xiu.

"F*ck, it's no wonder he is our dormitory leader. He is always one step ahead of us. Who is it? Could it be Ye Zisu?" asked Zhang Shan. Meng Tian was training with them after all, so it could not have been her.

"It's not Ye Zisu. The new girl is even prettier than her. Her beauty is indescribable. I have never met such a beautiful and graceful girl before," said Chen Xiu as he gestured excitedly.

"Is it true? Surely you are exaggerating? Nevertheless, congratulations to Brother Zheng!"

Zhang Shan's demeanor had changed considerably after his special training program had ended. It could be said that while an individual may be gifted with many talents, it is up to the individual to decide what suits him or her the most.

With time, one would have to slowly change. As with Zhang Shan, he had felt this change, and despite his childhood dream of pursuing a career in the Natural Sciences, he was conflicted as he now also wanted to develop himself in the Military Science Department.

He possessed an extremely logical mind and spatial awareness. This was extremely useful for swift decision making during a battle scenario.

Most importantly, the battlefield gave Zhang Shan a feeling which he would never experience in the field of physics.

On the other hand, Zhang Shan felt that Wang Zheng's situation was truly a pity. The special training was an exceptional opportunity which Wang Zheng failed to capitalize on. However, Wang Zheng possessed even greater talent in the field of physics, and perhaps this was actually the silver lining in the cloud.

Yet Wang Zheng was not at all depressed, as he had Aina by his side. Aina helped bring color to Wang Zheng's life. There simply wasn't enough time each day. In addition to his dating life, Wang Zheng continued to train. Despite numerous attempts to call out Bonehead, his mentor never showed. Wang Zheng could only continue with activities that he himself had come up with.

The Primal Regression technique had reached a bottleneck and no progress had been made for some time. However, he still couldn't relax. He could only continue to cultivate his inner strength and not go against the tide.

When Meng Tian got back and received news of Wang Zheng getting a girlfriend, she seemed very calm. It was as though she didn't care. Even during her MMA training sessions, she continued to train normally. Furthermore, when she talked, it was only about training. It was as if she could not care less about Wang Zheng's dating life.

The Art Society's modelling activity only happened once a week. The vast majority of the time, Wang Zheng spent his time with Aina. The two of them seemed to never run out of conversational topics. Wang Zheng would silently sit next to Aina and listen to the world of the Aslan Empire and its culture.

It was truly an elite world. Life had developed in the best way possible, but Aina felt that in the process of all this, its people had forgotten about the beauty of life. However, Aslan was the place that all the people of the Milky Way Galaxy aspired to live in.

Wang Zheng often talked about the interesting things that happened to him. His early life only comprised of the spirit stick his dad used to hit him with. Following which, he met the Old Merchant. Now that he thought about it, the Old Merchant still possessed other tricks. Aina truly admired the Old Merchant. A seemingly simple book store owner possessed such vast knowledge; crouching tigers and hidden dragons truly did exist among the common populace. One should never look down on them.

Although stories of Wang Zheng and Tyrant Su's awkward times were Aina's favorite, when the two of them spoke too enthusiastically, they would often mutter gibberish only understood by the two of them. Wang Zheng as a result still did not understand why Aina would fall in love with him.

More or less everyone who knew them did not understand either.

Aina gradually assimilated into Ares College's school life. She was very clear that she had to forget her identity as the Princess in order to better enjoy her student life. This was not something a normal girl could do; however, Aina wasn't a normal girl.

Like Ye Zisu, Yan Xiaosu, who often got extremely nervous around Aina, also discovered that Aina was blending in and trying to live a normal life while enjoying her time with Wang Zheng.

This caused Yan Xiaosu to feel utmost reverence for Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng was a true man. No! A god of men!

Even if Tyrant Su had always looked up to Wang Zheng, his respect had made Wang Zheng extremely happy.

These two single brothers had finally gotten attached. This year, the two of them would not need to drink by the lakeside as single men any longer.

At Brothers Net Café.

Wang Zheng had to hone his CT skills every weekend. In addition, Aina loved the way Wang Zheng looked when he battled. In Aina's words, at that point in time, Wang Zheng looked exceedingly cool and amazing.

Our dear Student Wang also had his own selfish motives. Honestly, he was more concerned about the rewards he would gain from winning. More importantly, a VIP room allowed a couple their privacy. There were too many students around, and if someone were to notice Aina and him doing scandalous things, his reputation would be ruined.

Alas, even our dear Student Wang felt that he was spoiled. However, after thinking about it, this was a result of his ability!

Yan Xiaosu also brought An Mei along. Student Yan wanted to demonstrate his skills in front of An Mei. With Rainbow's help, Tyrant Su had finally managed to attain a bronze rank in competitive play. That shiny insignia had improved Tyrant Su's reputation. He was now rushing towards the next rank, silver. Eventually, he hoped to achieve a gold rank, and he would do anything to obtain it so that he could meet his own standards.

Yan Xiaosu and Wang Zheng both had the same thoughts in mind. Lovers needed a private space! Thus, Yan Xiaosu held An Mei's small hands as he led her to a private room. He was truly obstructed.

A relationship between males and females is very mysterious. If a couple cannot progress at a point where mutual feelings are at an all-time high, it will only result in a friendship. Looking at it from another angle, such an outcome would be very pathetic.

Yan Xiaosu was confident that Wang Zheng had the same aim in mind. Otherwise, why would a noob-stomping elder run here? Boss was truly being a boss. Regardless of what he did, he would always plan things ahead.

Although, after saying all this, once they entered the battle, Wang Zheng would be extremely attentive. He wasn't like the others; if he didn't perform well, he would have to pay a price.

Bonehead's training did not allow for any failure. He could not remember the countless times he had been punished and electrocuted! Any more and he would have become an electrical conductor.

"Do you know who your opponent will be this time?" Aina asked curiously.

It was impossible for a member of Aslan to not be interested in military matters. In Aslan, every member of society had to go through two rounds of military training. Short of extraordinary circumstances, military training was typically unavoidable. As such, members of the royal family also had to undergo military training. As a result, Aslan possessed the ability to rally the entire country to arms and possessed an extremely skilled population.

Even a game like CT was played to the highest standards in Aslan.

1 versus 1 or 5 versus 5?

Wang Zheng looked at Aina and she blinked her eyes. "Let's make things difficult for you. How about 5 versus 5?"

Wang Zheng smiled as he selected the 5 versus 5 option. "And if I win win, what will my prize be?"

Aina cheekily winked at Wang Zheng. "Let's see how things go."

Dear Student Wang looked as though he had been splashed with chicken blood. He would have to perform well this time.

Entering Matchmaking.

In the discussion forum, numerous individuals were currently waiting. 5 versus 5. Every player in the server had heard of Skeleton. In fact, Skeleton was no longer a nameless and reputationless newbie. Now that he was famous, the moment he appeared, he would be the focus of the enemies. How would he fight?

There were just too many variables. With Skeleton's current win rate, he would likely be placed into an extremely high-skilled match. The Wargod No. 1's disadvantage in group fights would become evident.

"Welcome, everyone, to today's 5 versus 5 group match. I am Young Deer."

"Hello, everyone. I am Bubbly Foam, and I will be commentating with Young Deer for today's match. I have always looked up to Skeleton, and I can't believe that my first time commenting one of his matches will be for a 5v5 group battle!"

Bubbly Foam was a famous beauty among commentators. This time she was specially invited by Young Deer. The two of them were the most well-known CT commentators.

"It is my honor to be able to work together with Bubbly Foam. Let us see what kind of surprises Skeleton will show us today. Will his Wargod No. 1 be able to create miracles in a group battle?" Young Deer was extremely calm today. After suffering time and time again, even a pig would learn from its past mistakes. He would first observe the situation before making a comment.

The beauty smiled as she asked, "Young Deer, I heard that you hold certain prejudices against Skeleton. Is that true?" With her oval face, her laughter showed her adorable dimples. It was no surprise why she was bursting with popularity.

Professional commentators not only received compensation for their work but possessed their own online shops. They earned quite a sum, even more than certain players.

Young Deer was also an old fox. He gave her a wry smile. "What do you think? Don't joke around. I am an extremely cautious person. This tightrope situation can easily be overturned. Especially since it's a group battle. The only thing I can do is wish good luck to the ones who will become Skeleton's teammates."

"Really? Let us wait and see. Everyone, right now what everyone is seeing is the Newbie Arena's Legendary Skeleton's group battle matchmaker."

The discussion forum immediately exploded with chatter. What kind of battle would this be?

The officials had already been riled up and were currently awaiting the results of the matchmaking.

Pretty Outstanding Guy, Silver Rank 3

I Am Not A Noob, Bronze Rank 4

Don't Run Loli, Silver Rank 5

Tom, Dick, and Harry, Bronze Rank 1

Wang Zheng's win rate was too high. After seeing Tom, Dick, and Harry's portrait light up, it could be seen that this was a rank advancement match. He was trying to rise from Bronze Rank 1 to Silver Rank 5.

On the enemy team, there were two silver ranks and three bronze ranks.

Tom, Dick, and Harry was extremely nervous. He had to win two out of his three placement matches to advance in rank. He had already lost one and won one. This match would be the culmination of his hard work for the weekend. When he saw two silver ranks, he felt extremely happy. Unfortunately, there happened to be a noob on his team. At that point, his heart sank.

Hang on… this ID seemed slightly familiar.

Wasn't this the player that was extremely popular right now?

"The enemies have appeared. The red and blue teams both have an individuals hoping to advance to silver rank. This will be a battle where the players will stake it all. We have seen Skeleton's personal skill, but will it stand up to the test of a group battle?"

Bubbly Foam smiled as she browsed through the opposing players' information.

"Group battles are completely different from solo fights. Most importantly, one has to coordinate and comply with his team."

Young Deer looked extremely calm, but deep down he was extremely happy. This time there was a chance. With the situation now, the opposing team would definitely focus their efforts on Skeleton. If he lost, it could be blamed on Skeleton. If they won, but Skeleton got destroyed, he could once again blame Skeleton. This time he had more than a 50% chance of success.

However, what was depressing to Young Deer was the fact that Skeleton's matchmade teammates were all extremely strong.

The highest ranked player was designated to become the team captain. Thus, the captain would be Pretty Outstanding Guy.

"Everyone, this is Little Brother's advancement match. Please help me out. Please put in your best effort!" Tom, Dick, and Harry said anxiously.

The advancement match was one which had to be seized by force. Relying on oneself was not enough; it required the strength of the team. Thus, he had to be more polite and sincere.

Pretty Outstanding Guy gave him a slight smile. "Relax, our team has two silver ranks, while the enemy team also possesses two. However, we have a secret weapon."

"My god, it's Skeleton. That's wonderful!" shouted I Am Not A Noob. He was clearly well-versed in the latest CT news and gossip.

The two silver ranks were extremely calm. Higher ranks not noticing lower ranks was typically quite normal. Regardless, they had definitely heard of Skeleton.

"I have an idea. I will take the top lane and block two of the enemies. Skeleton will take mid lane and fight one of them. I think that shouldn't be a problem. Loli and the other two will lie in ambush and quickly dispatch the enemy. After that, come and assist me. They will definitely be taken by surprise."

Chapter 54: An Act Deserving an Oscar! Death with a Thousand Knives!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Pretty Outstanding Guy said, "The captain has the power to assign tactics. Although Skeleton is famous, he only has experience on individual matches. The ranking list of team matches is determined by every single match, and this is from my experience."

"Good move! We can gain advantages in the bottom, get back, and finish them off quickly," Tom, Dick and Harry said, with his fists punching in the air.

"Seems like both sides have assigned tactics. The match is about to begin!" said Young Deer. At the same time, the number of viewers kept rising quickly, but it didn't break the record from last match. The audience still felt unsure about what the level of skill would be shown in a 5v5 match. Team matches were usually not as exciting as individual matches.

The so-called godlike pentakills only appeared when beginners were all over the place. In this level of games, even if the team was losing, they would still try to avoid this situation.

Moreover, once the teams went head to head, the Brittleskin was no doubt a trash teammate,

One could escape one single sniper, but what if there were more?

The official website posted an announcement. The publicity was much stronger compared to the last match against Wild King, but the effect was not as good as imagined.

It would be untrue to say that Solon felt no pressure reading the data, because he had bet on the game. He was not worried about losing the game, but he didn't expect the audience to not be sold on it.

The staff was busy too; obviously they were feeling the pressure as well. They were bound together for good or ill, and this game would affect their year-end bonus.

The official side had done all they could, but some of the audience members were still not quite interested in the role a Brittleskin could play in the team match.

Especially in a situation like this match, the Wargod No. 1 could only play a very limited role. It would be quite boring, no matter the result.

Of course, the members of Skeleton Corps were the exception. Wild King…played truant. After all, it was not the first time for him.

Team match…

As a scout, he was fully aware of the importance of an excellent mech in team matches. You could focus on one single enemy, but there were too many unpredictable factors in team matches, and the traps could be all linked with one another.

Rainbow was not here because he was carrying out his task. One should be serious at work.

Yan Xiaosu was enjoying the battle at its climax. Who would have thought that An Mei was a master as well? She was a bronze rank 3, which was even higher than him. In between Skeleton and a girl, he chose the girl. After all, he would come to a miserable end if he were to ignore An Mei and flee.

Chen Xiu and Yao Aillun obviously were not restrained; they were screaming and cheering already.

"Antarctica Battlefield"

In the world of ice and snow, ten mecha came from above. One minute later, intelligent robots started to march towards each other's bases.

Pretty Outstanding Guy smiled and said "Follow my mech's execution. Victory is in grasp!"

"Victory!"

Tom, Dick, and Harry shouted, to pump himself up.

Pretty Outstanding Guy drove his shiny, silver Saint Knight mech and marched towards the top. His mobile suit was a scout style as well, and his ability wase reliable enough to pin down two people.

Wang Zheng took the middle lane. It was the first time his Wargod No. 1 had stepped on snowy and icy roads, so Wang Zheng needed a bit of time to get used to it.

The other three guys went to the bottom lane and split into three flanks.

"Seems like our player Skeleton is very confident, and he is not going be a burden on his teammates." Young Deer started to apply some eyedrops to his eyes. This was a sign he was getting ready.

"The tactics are pretty good. A silver rank on the top lane, and Skeleton is quite capable of taking the middle on his own. There is a 70 percent winning chance if the three guys at the bottom can complete their attack."

Bubbly Foam made a very penetrating analysis.

The number of spectators was increasing, but it was at a rather slow rate. Just then, the campaign had gone sour.

The five mecha of the blue team surprisingly did not split up. Instead, they headed towards the bottom lane together.

What was going on?

They intended to concentrate on breaking through, but even if they could kill all three in the bottom, the fort they defended would be destroyed anyway. What was the use of all that effort if they lost the game?

"Our blue team is very creative, but we don't know whether or not they can move fast enough," said Young Deer.

Crush the bottom, go back to support the middle, but there was no way they could make it to the top. Wasn't this bullsh*t?

Bubbly Foam thought to herself, "These five idiots, if they wanted to fight together, they should have gone into the middle to kill Skeleton."

Everyone was kind of speechless, as this fight was completely unorthodox. The strategy was too low-level. If they could delay well and have three players retreat slowly, they could have a rather good result. Their tactics were just too weak for such a match.

"Damn, we paid money to watch a match at the kindergarten level!"

"What are they even thinking? That's ridiculous!"

"If you wanna go all in, you should go to the middle!"

"The two players trying to win the promotion match have really bad luck."

The players in the match could not hear the comments. Loli Don't Run was talking to the two other players in his lane. "Hurry up and kill the two of them as soon as possible so that we can go back and aid the top lane!"

"Don't worry, let's go all out!" Tom, Dick, and Harry and I Am Not a Noob were very excited, as they were fans of Skeleton.

Mecha from the opposite side soon appeared. The two mecha seemed like they were on their own, just two bronze ranked players. They were seeking their own demise.

"Don't let them run! Hurry!" Loli Don't Run drove his shiny Silver Hunter mech and rushed over.

Upon seeing the silver player making his move, the two bronze players, without a word, rushed out as well.

But just at this time, snow started flying off in all directions, and three mecha flanked from the side with guns blazing.

The laser rifles roared, and the two mecha on the front also launched an attack.

Loli Don't Run had only fired one shot, and it had missed the target. He was then killed by concentrated fire. The two remaining bronze players had to resist while retreating.

Though the situation was quite disappointing, Tom, Dick, and Harry was not too angry. "Everyone is in the bottom lane; go ahead to middle and top!"

This information was useful enough, especially for the player in the top lane. The ability of a silver rank 3 was sufficient for winning this battle.

Tom, Dick, and Harry was trying his best to stall for time. Every minute they stalled improved their chances of victory…

"AH! My internet…"

Tom, Dick, and Harry heard a sound: Pretty Outstanding Guy had gone offline

I Am Not a Noob was distracted. All of a sudden he was hit and his mech exploded.

Only one remained. The ice and snow slowed down the speed of the mecha. But the opponents were driving scout mechs, and hence their situation was not as bad.

Five mechs came to surround Tom, Dick, and Harry, and in the middle was a Radiant Type A mech. It stopped for a second as if it was playing with its prey, then it shot Tom, Dick, and Harry in the head.

Triple kill!

The Radiant Type A was a typical pay-to-win mech. It was made in the Aslan Empire. The player Natural King was a bronze rank 1. He was playing to get promoted to silver rank, and he just gotten a triple kill.

At first, the audience was quiet for a while. What followed was a buzz of comments. What had just happened?

At the moment he got shot, Tom, Dick, and Harry was stupefied. Then he realized that it wasn't unstable internet connection, this was a damn trap, a shameless seven versus three.

"Damn, it just a qualifying round. Why so impudent?!"

All of the hard-earned points from a whole week were wiped out in a day. This was too aggravating. F*ck! Was it something extraordinary to be rich?

Natural King could not hold back his laughter. "Sure enough, winning is in my destiny. Regardless of who kills Skeleton, so long as he dies, I will give an extra twenty thousand federal coins to everyone."

It was entertainment, and there were a lot of ways to play. Like Yan Xiaosu had asked people to help out for his promotion match, but it was not as crazy as this time.

Young Deer and Bubbly Foam glanced at each other and said, "Seems like we just saw a pretty rare game. Pretty Outstanding Guy can win an Academy Award for his performance just now."

To ensure victory, some people would ask for game throwers. The most effective way was to choose a time to matchmake together; this way your chosen game throwers would be in the same match..

In these sort of "acting" games, we have to say, Pretty Outstanding Guy and Loli Don't Run acted pretty well. One took the lead to get killed, while the other went offline. It was quite useless if one wanted to complain.

These sorts of games happened from time to time, but they didn't happen very often because it was quite expensive. No one would have thought that Skeleton would get involved in this match.

The five people all selected scout mechs just for their speed. Skeleton had gone to the middle, so he should have been able to aid the situation.

From this point in time, the viewer count started to decrease rapidly. Solon and the staff became wild-eyed. Damn, what sort of crazy luck would one have to see something like this?

From now on, there wasn't much to watch. Five scout mechs, one Radiant Type A, four Takrama Type B's. Under these circumstances, the match became a game of cat and mouse with five cats in the game.

The audience didn't spend the money just to be tortured; this match was too disgusting. There were no techniques involved, it was just a sham.

Natural King, on the other hand, made an outrageous flaunt. "I'm just too rich, so I play for the sense of invincibleness. You are merely a Brittleskin; let me terminate you!"

It was a bummer for him that he couldn't achieve a pentakill.

The members of Skeleton Corps were stupefied too. What in the world just happened? This group of people was too shameless; what was the point of winning this way?

"I don't know whether it's called 'all warfare is based on deception.' Though it's not so fair, Skeleton still has to face the situation. Will he surrender or will he quit?" Young Deer said as though he was forced to. But anyone with a discerning eye could easily see that he was laughing inside

"What a pity. We were looking forward to an exciting battle. Unfortunately, the ending is that the miracle of Skeleton has come to an end!"

On the battlefield, five scout mecha were heading to corner Wargod No. 1. At this time, instead of accelerating and going to attack the fort, the Wargod No. 1 walked directly towards them.

Actually, with Skeleton's speed, it was still possible to win the game.

"Skeleton, my god, forget it. Let's forfeit the game and make a complaint. They are so shameless!" I Am Not a Noob cried in anger. His voice was quite young.

Tom, Dick, and Harry sighed and said, "Yeah, these folks are shameless; don't let them have an easy win. If they were to kill you, we would be angry."

Wang Zheng didn't answer. He preferred to let his actions speak.

Just like what Bonehead said, the best way to deal with one's enemies was to kill them.

An aura of death could be seen in Wang Zheng's eyes.

System Alert: blizzard coming, blizzard coming.

The Wargod No. 1 was still marching towards the five scout mecha.

"I have to say, Skeleton's decision is just impulsive; that's really unwise. If it was me, I would have definitely forfeited the game and then complained," Young Deer slowly said.

Bubbly Foam took a brief glance at Young Deer and said, "Some people will never understand what courage is."

Chapter 55: Winning Without Trying?! (Explode!)

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Young Deer was not angry at Bubbly Foam's idealistic view. He gave her a wry smile and said, "Courage is sometimes just an ordinary man putting on a brave front."

The forum was in complete confusion; everyone was in shock. There was no undoing what had been done. The result would be broadcasted live. Although it was infuriating, nothing could be done as no one had expected this situation.

There were many people who often skirted the line between what was right and what was not. If anything, one could only blame their bad luck for the current situation.

Having good teammates was entirely a function of luck.

The blizzard's occurrence had caused the mecha's speed to decrease while severely obscuring everyone's vision. However, such a blizzard would not last long, and better mecha would not be affected as severely by the environmental conditions.

Many people could no longer watch the show. Although there were still people tuning into the livestream, it could not compare to the number of viewers leaving. There was only half as many viewers as before.

It was clear that many people were unwilling to see the result.

Solon was flabbergasted. This was the first day of which his grand plan was being rolled out.

On the Moon, McLaren was also watching intently, a cup grasped tightly in his hand.

Sometimes, one needed luck to achieve success.

"Make sure he can't escape. Give me the finishing blow. If I get the kill on him, I will increase your reward by 30,000 coins!"

Natural King was very excited; it was as though his happiness was at its peak! Having the chance to kill Skeleton in front of such a large audience would be absolutely amazing.

This was why he loved playing CT. He enjoyed crushing his enemies with the help of his wealth, dominating them until they screamed for their parents.

The radar suddenly started beeping. The Wargod No. 1 had appeared in their attacking range.

The blizzard was slowly receding. Although it had a slight impact on the situation, the effect was mostly negated.

Both teams accelerated towards each other, with the blue team maintaining their formation. The rich man was protected in the center with his four other teammates surrounding him closely. In such a situation, the power of the individual mech was even more obvious. So what if it was Skeleton? So what if it was a Wargod No. 1? Miracles did not come around every day.

The Wargod No. 1's speed increased more and more. It flew over the rugged, icy terrain with great agility, and it was completely different from its initial acceleration speed.

Yet one had to know that exceptional speed might not be the best approach, as braking in such slippery terrain was perilously hard.

Laser fire blanketed the snowy plains, coating it with a resplendent array of lights. Wang Zheng calmly advanced amidst the salvo of fire, holding his laser rifle in his left hand while his right hand clutched an alloy knife.

He had finally entered the blue team's firing range.

Boom!

It was a competition in one's accuracy!

"F*ck, the damned snow is affecting my vision!"

"No need to aim, just spray and pray. With so many of us here, we are bound to destroy him!"

"F*ck, if any of you guys actually destroy him, we will lose our compensation!"

After Natural King spoke, the 4 other players reduced their rate of fire. However, Skeleton's speed did not decrease. He continued to advance, with his laser rifle constantly firing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Your mom! That bastard hit us!"

"I've been hit!"

"What are you worried about? You have energy shields; these explosions are meaningless!"

Skeleton's laser hit them again and again. The other four no longer cared about the extra prize. If they lost, they would absolutely lose all of their reputation.

A firefight ensued as explosions echoed around the battlefield.

At this point, the Wargod No. 1 suddenly leaned over. It had actually started skirting around the battlefield at a 45 degree angle to the ground using inertia to maintain his balance!

Skeleton held his laser rifle in his left hand, calmly firing not at one target but at all five of the mecha simultaneously!

However, the five of them were still standing in a row, firing wildly. Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 was like a snowy ghost, weaving in and out, while the laser beams were only able to cause explosions of snowy flowers as they missed him again and again. Ironically, this obstructed their vision even more.

"F*ck. He disappeared! No, wait! He's next to us!"

A loud ringing sound could be heard in each of the blue team's mecha, indicating an enemy was in extremely close proximity.

All of them had already drawn their lightsabers. At this point, a pile of snow exploded and Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 could be seen falling from the sky, and the five scout mecha were already fully prepared to fight.

"Destroy him!" shouted Natural King hysterically. At this point in time, it didn't matter who killed him.

Snow slowly drifted down.

The five seemingly sluggish scout mecha suddenly burst into action. Truth be told, they were not inexperienced noobs. Even the worse one among them was a bronze player. Although Natural King looked dumb, his mech reacted the fastest. His lightsaber was the first one to lunge towards the Wargod No. 1.

At this point, the Wargod No. 1's brakes kicked in and the mech plummeted. Pushing the mech to its limit, the Wargod No. 1 used its great plummeting speed to increase its speed of rotation as it spun downwards.

The Wargod No. 1 fell straight into the center of the enemies. Lasers firing, the alloy knife dancing amongst a string of blossoming flowers of fire.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! …

DOUBLE KILL!

TRIPLE KILL!!

QUADRUPLE KILL!!! (The system announcements increased in volume intensity with each consecutive kill.)

Bang! The Radiant Type A Mech's energy shield was destroyed and the mech was knocked down by the Wargod No. 1, his feet pressed firmly on the mech.

A laser rifle was pointed directly at Natural King's head.

Natural King was completely defeated. All he had seen was an explosion of snow, followed by a ring of light which brought with it a string of fiery explosions… before silence.

"No… Please don't kill me! Let me win! I will give you a 100,000 coins!" Natural King shouted. This was his last chance.

"You either live as a coward, or you are reborn again in battle!"

Boom…

Skeleton's laser rifle flashed 4 times. Mech destroyed!

PENTAKILL!!!!!

The system announcer screamed wildly!

GOD!!!!!!!

Red Team WIN!

A cry rang out. Bubbly Foam jumped up excitedly. She had completely forgotten her previous analysis and was instead endlessly roaring in excitement.

Everyone went mad!

"Boss! Boss! It's about to explode! It's going to explode! It's DEFINITELY EXPLODING!"

In the livestream chatroom, the viewership counter's dwindling number of viewers suddenly exploded upwards, like a rocket launching into space. In a short span of time, it had reached the stratosphere.

Solon's hand clutched the table's edge tightly. "I want an immediately analysis of the video!" he commanded.

"Boss! It's a call from headquarters!"

Solon paused for a moment, calming himself before saying, "Put it through."

It was McLaren.

"Congratulations, Solon!"

"Thank you, Chairman!"

Although it was a simple congratulations, the meaning was extraordinary.

It was as McLaren had said: success required a certain element of luck.

"Boss, the two new servers to accommodate for increased traffic are full. The number of VIPs has exceeded 500,000!"

Even his workers were rambling incoherently at this point.

"Boss, the ones who have become VVIP's have exceeded 200,000. We have set a new record!"

"Boss, the number of hits have exceeded 2,000,000!"

The situation was extremely wonderful for Solon.

"You either live as a coward, or you are reborn again in battle!" Solon mused over those words.

No one else left the livestream. Those who had left, upon hearing the news, immediately regretted their decision.

At Brothers Net Café, Yan Xiaosu, who was hugging An Mei, gave her a deep kiss while cheering excitedly. This time, An Mei did not reject his advances!

There truly existed such tyrannical people in this world.

Congratulations, Player Tom,Dick, and Harry, you have been promoted to silver rank 5.

Tom, Dick, and Harry stared blankly as he sat at home. How was this possible???

He had been promoted. He had failed for an entire month, but he had succeeded under such impossible circumstances?!

Young Deer's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. That bastard could win even under such circumstances. How could anyone survive that onslaught?!

This was the Skeleton Corps' festival. "I'M NOT AFRAID!"

Countless people from numerous backgrounds were all shouting and cheering together. This was the greatest display of strength!

This was what it meant to be a hero!

No one left as they were waiting for the video analysis to come out.

You either live as a coward or are reborn again in battle!

The huge title came out and numerous people rushed over. The ones who were already streaming were extremely lucky.

A slow-motion video started playing.

Only by analyzing the battle frame by frame could one see what had occurred during the blizzard. The blue team's unscrupulous blind firing did not even manage to hit a hair of the Wargod No. 1. They were overconfident. On the other hand, the Wargod No. 1's control was like that of a snow ghost. What was supposed to be a restriction on mecha ended up becoming the Wargod No. 1's strength.

"This is the Advancing God Drive technique executed while sliding! F*ck. How is this possible!?" Young Deer suddenly screamed. Although his personality left much to be desired, his knowledge was superb.

The blizzard affected the accuracy of the five mecha, but it did not affect the Wargod No. 1. Every shot made by the Wargod No. 1 hit its target.

At this point, the video was edited to show a 360 degree view of the situation. Regardless whether the Wargod No. 1 was sliding and firing from left to right or right to left, every single hit landed at the exact same position. This showed that the individual had supreme confidence in his firing skills.

This proved that the last fight with Wild King was not a fluke!

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 was calm and coldblooded as he slaughtered his enemies on the snowy plain.

This was in contrast to its maniacal maneuvers.

However, Skeleton's strategy of a close combat approach was extremely dangerous.

As the Wargod No. 1 leaned forward during its advance, its momentum allowed the mech to keep its mechanical frame close to the ground. Thus, even with such uncertain terrain underfoot, the Wargod No. 1 had managed to maintain full control and could accelerate quickly. Furthermore, it was from a direction no one expected.

As a result, this dangerous approach was actually the safest method to victory!

Although everyone understood that, executing it was a completely different story.

In the blink of an eye, the Wargod No. 1 had rushed in front of the blue team. Natural King and the rest had already drawn their blades and were prepared to chop Skeleton into pieces. However, the brilliant use of an emergency brake maneuver had thrown them off.

Upon braking, the Wargod No. 1's engine went into reverse and allowed the mech to forcefully land; all of this was part of Skeleton's calculations.

What happened next was terrifying to behold.

The was a move that could have only been executed after sheer practice and endless repetition in a deadly snow environment.

Carlman's Tornado of Death!

That year, Mars' Carlman had faced 15 enemies on Mars' icefield and won with this very move.

However, that was done in a mech that was specially adapted for the blizzard environment! This was a Wargod No. 1, a mech completely unsuited for the weather!

Even if one used the Tornado of Death, it was unfeasible that one would emerge unscathed!

Once the video analysis came out, everyone could a feel a sense of fervent bewilderment.

As the video was played back frame by frame, it was clear that the sparks flying off Skeleton's alloy knife were not made by attacking his opponents. Rather, the sparks were from Skeleton deflecting sabre strikes from the blue team! In the blink of an eye, Skeleton had deflected all of their attacks and followed up with shots fired from his laser rifle. In such close proximity, Skeleton managed to deliver headshots at near point blank range! Within this short exchange, he had killed four of them!

The closer one was to the enemy, the more intense the fight would be. In addition, the previous fight had exhausted them, and it would have been more than enough to destroy them.

However, what was most important was that bastard's control! His mind and body were synchronized to such a degree; an ordinary person could not possible replicate what he did.

Tornado of Death dual wielding a gun and blade!

The video paused at this moment. The laser rifle and alloy knife were pointed in different directions and held at different angles. The mech itself was pointed in a third direction.

This was the multi-tasking ability to dual wield!

When the match ended, people were already going crazy. After watching the analysis, everyone went absolutely ballistic!

This was truly an example of godly piloting!

PENTAKILL!!!!!

It would forever be engraved in their hearts!

However, another word was to be announced… GOD!

This was the legendary announcement.

Being able to kill five enemy mecha alone, (dealing at least 80% of the damage to each one), while obtaining five kills within five minutes; even if it was a chain of kills, it would trigger the announcement of the highest prestige in the CT battlefield: GOD!!!

The Skeleton God had finally descended!

Chapter 56: Popular Mecha

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The cheers and applause were thunderous, and the two announcers barely had any time left to speak. Given a battle of this sort, they were at a loss too.

The interview that was planned for Skeleton after the match didn't happen as Skeleton had already left.

Actually, student Wang had waited for a while. But after realizing that no one was paying any attention to him, he got embarrassed and left. He felt that there actually wasn't any questions that were worth asking. Ten thousand dollars for a question, how could such offers be real?

"Brother Xiu! Brother Xiu! Please count me in; I'm the one who was fighting with Skeleton God in that battle. I'm not a noob, please I beg you, let me join."

"I Am Not A Noob" had already made dozens of applications to join, but Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were already very busy. That damned nouveau riche, where had he gone at this critical period of time?

The moment Rainbow got on the line, his first words were: "It is so bustling; what did I miss?"

"Giant Rainbow! Go take a look, quick! Tornado of Death and Double Control, Skeleton God did the impossible again! Ultimate god penta-kill!

Rainbow was stunned for a moment, then he came a sudden burst of vulgarities. He quickly rushed into the VVIP where the clarity and definition were the best. Although the match was ending, the numbers of spectators were not reducing.

This could be done over and over again.

"Damn it! I've practiced the Tornado of Death for a month only to end up taking a stroll at the starting area!"

"I used to think that this move was only good-looking and that it was always better to be simple and practical on the battlefield. But I did not expect this kind of trick to be used in actual combat. It defies the gods!"

"These kinds of moves are very dangerous, ah! I saw someone use it once; they spun one circle and only ended up making themselves dizzy."

"Double Control, I've heard that to train for it, one is required to practise using chopsticks with both hands."

Wang Zheng retreated, opened his arms, and said, "Lovely little princess, come here and give me a hug."

Aina couldn't contain her feelings of admiration for Wang Zheng. The difficult level of this kind of attack would never be possible without having gone through very tough training. "How did you do it?" she asked as she walked over obediently.

Wang Zheng held Aina gently and placed her on his lap. He could finally show off a little, "I'm telling you! I am a genius! I am going to collect my payment now, with interest on top of that."

Aina rolled her eyes, giving a look of having been smitten. Girls should be conquered, and she loved Wang Zheng when he was overbearing and courageous.

Wang Zheng only let go of Aina after a round of hot kissing to let her catch her breath. Aina gently punched Wang Zheng. "You are so daring! Other people wouldn't even breathe the air that I exhale, but you are bullying me every day. I didn't come from far away only to let you bully me."

"You are the Princess of Aslan, but here, I am the one who takes charge!" Wang Zheng said. And without giving Aina a chance to protest, he started kissing her passionately again.

If you are not convinced, I am going to kiss you until you are!

Before long, Aina could only obey. But this rascal's tongue was very cheeky, and he started to french kiss her with his tongue.

At this moment, something hit the door and in rushed Yan Xiaosu. Wang Zheng and Aina quickly separated, but only at the lips. Wang Zheng could not throw Aina off, nor could he ever bring himself to.

"Yan Xiaosu, are you trying to seek death!?"

This rascal, of all the times to arrive. He would only arrive when he wanted to.

An Mei was behind him. When she saw this scene, she understood what was going on. She also got bullied in this way before.

"Shishi, come here! This pair of brothers is good for nothing! They just want to have their way with us ladies all the time."

"You arrived at the perfect time!" Aina's face was red.

"Heh heh, don't blame me, Boss. This is a big development. Skeleton God has soared again, getting a pentakill. It's not just a godly pentakill, but a super godly pentakill!"

Yan Xiaosu had a feeling that he was about to fly. Because of this feeling, he kissed An Mei. He was finally advancing the relationship between the both of them.

Wang Zheng was taken aback by this guy's impulsive behaviour. It was fortunate that he did not tell him. Even the little things like this would surprise Yan Xiaosu.

"You will treat us to a round of meals!"

It was also not known whether An Mei was always hanging around Aina intentionally. If so, she was a professional at it.

"No problem! No problem! Boss, let me tell you. If you want to progress, you have to believe in Skeleton God!" Yan Xiaosu said at the back.

"You're always missing the main point, you rascal!" Wang Zheng said while shaking his head.

Looking at the two girls walking in front, Yan Xiaosu finally came to his senses. How could beauty be so cold!?

He realized that Boss was still smarter; he could slowly view the replay when he gets back. But if he offended An Mei, he could say goodbye to happy times.

"Let's go! Tonight we'll have a good feast!"

"You pick the place, it's my treat," Wang Zheng said. Come to think of it, after so many battles, it was about time to distribute the money.

"Wow, had I known this, I shouldn't have eaten earlier" Yan Xiaosu said while laughing.

"Then we should eat more!" An Mei ridiculed Wang Zheng as if she had to in order to feel comfortable. "Shishi, you wouldn't mind, right?"

"As you wish."

The four of them laughed. Jokes aside, Wang Zheng could feel the battle energy in his chest getting stronger. He didn't understand the death gyro; it was totally an instinctive reaction. The plum pile training was based on the concept of pace. Only by using this kind of attack could he maintain his center of gravity. He borrowed the momentum of the moment to execute it.

As for double control, given Skeleton's crazy training routine, what was this compared to that?

Aina's heart was still beating very hard. The reason was because she realized that she was losing more and more control of herself. Wang Zheng's every move was making her smitten. What was wrong with her…

Data bulletin regarding the Wargod No. 1 regular armor:

The solar system's latest three most popular armor:

Heavenly Umbra Calamity Type 3: Aslan Super Mecha, all-weather scout type. Aggressive combat effectiveness, but it is difficult to operate. It is still difficult even in CT, but if it can be played to its highest potential, it can crush the gods, also known as the Terminator models.

Atlantis "Dragon's Roar": Atlantis Republic's Super Mecha. It is the king of naval warfare. In water battlefields, it is known as an overpowered mech. It is the favorite of players who love naval warfare.

Wargod No. 1: Practice Machine

The popular quarterly competition was very intense. The database was also updated constantly, but for some high-end mecha, their performance could not be copied completely. But in general, they performed at about 90% of the actual thing. These mecha were highly sought after by the high-end players.

Currently in military research, the major federations, republics, and empires were mainly focused on funding the development of mecha. Since the ban on weapons of mass destruction, warships and mecha were now the key assets in battle. The high mobility of the mecha had become an increasingly important stat. Many scientists predicted that as technology advanced and the mecha became smaller in size, the mecha would become the main power in combat. The combination of human and mechanical civilization would be at its highest level.

However, under such fierce competition, for the permanently free Wargod No. 1 to rise to becoming the third most popular mech was already a miracle.

Many people initially thought that it was an official mistake, or that the latest of a super mech was called the Wargod No. 1.

When Skeleton's latest match ended, the Wargod No. 1 just barely squeezed past the Republic of Madagascar's' Demon King Super Mech to take third place.

Skeleton Corps members were now no longer just from Asia, not even just from Earth. Even players from Mars as well as the Moon were starting to join.

The most recent victory marked the 9-game winning streak. This win rate wasn't that amazing; there were masters who had more than 20-game winning streaks. But no one was able to achieve such a win rate with the Wargod No. 1.

The players had also realized that in the recent two battles, Skeleton seemed to have been under the influence of some intense aggressiveness.

Natural King was also unlucky; his title lasted for three months in the end under the eyes of the audience. Did he think that everyone was blind to his unscrupulous actions of bribing other players?

But no one was concerned about his antics anymore; some even wanted to thank him. Without the effort he put in, how could the battle have been so exciting?

The only real pity was that the originally planned interview ultimately never took place. The official statement given was that the announcers were too shocked after watching the battle and the staff forgot to remind them. This was quickly explained and forgotten.

Bubbly Foam also expressed her apology on her own social media platform. Although she had casted a lot of intense high-tier games, she was baffled by his battle and thus forgot to ask the questions.

People would always be more forgiving towards a beautiful girl. Also, Skeleton's words were a classic that had become quite popular. When the battle was about to end, he said the words "You either live as a coward, or be reborn again within battle!"

"And with a chorus of amen, hallelujah etc.. the opponent will be finished.

Although it was a terrible mech, no one was able to stop players from using the Wargod No. 1. Besides, it could change the person's attitude, forcing them to become more cautious and to pay attention to the environment. Although not using the Wargod No. 1 would only result in victory, such a victory was not as cool nor as satisfying.

This trend had been gaining more and more popularity; it was the most popular in Asia.

Of course, amidst this bustling scene, some experts had begun to stir. Their positions at the high tiers had received strong challenges, and questions had been asked. But at the same time, for an expert to fight against the lower-tier arena would be an embarrassment for them.

The high-tier and low-tier scenes were two totally different things. What was achieved in the low tier would be impossible in the high-tier. The opponents were not pigs, and they were not prone to rash decisions. The pentakill (killing the others without taking more than 80% damage) was the limit. The knowledgeable people knew that this was the reality; only those at a lower tier would make a fuss over this.

Only newcomers like Wild King would accept this kind of stupid invitation. The others would be dismissive; even a win would be distasteful. Fighting in these kinds of battles would be akin to lowering one's own standings.

Although the scene was bustling, the professionals and master players did not comment.

But some uncouth people had proudly announced that they were able to single-handedly destroy Skeleton, attracting the ire of the rest of the players.

Chapter 57: Turns Out Science Students Could Be Like This

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Regardless of the situation, Solon was extremely happy. He had set a new record, so the first step of his plan had succeeded. He felt as though a huge weight was off his shoulders. If it had not happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Right now, Solon's new priority was regarding Lin Huiyin's concert on Earth. The company Natural Echoing Sounds was quite mysterious. They seemed as though they had no concern for money. Although Lin Huiyin was extremely popular, most of her endorsement events were for public welfare.

Even though they had no regard for money, Solon was still extremely hard working, so he managed to broker excellent terms for their arrangement. Regardless if it was the plan for Skeleton or for the Asian CT region, all of it would rise to a new level soon.

It has to be said that the TV rights for broadcasting the concert had already been bought at sky high prices. Furthermore, this was Lin Huiyin's first time performing on Earth.

Naturally, the policemen of the capital were extremely busy and nervous. The more people there were, the more important it was to prevent troublemakers from arising. Recently, with the Princess's visit to the Solar System Federation, Earth had an increase in exposure. With Lin Huiyin coming down to release her new record, it showed that the Aslan Empire was willing to cooperate with the Solar System Federation.

In terms of socioeconomics and especially when it came to technology, the Solar System Federation was severely lacking and required the assistance of the Aslan Empire. Despite all this, they still wanted to retain a sense of bearing and hence had to do a good job.

It was rumored that a large portion of the VIP tickets had already been reserved by the higher echelons in the numerous social and economic circles.

However, the concert was still predominantly for the youth, especially those still in school. Huiyin's biggest fans were in charge of obtaining the tickets for everyone, but even they had issues obtaining them.

Wang Zheng held no interest towards this; he felt that paying a sum to listen to the concert on his Skylink was sufficient. However, he could not help but be affected by the excitement as the hype for the concert far exceeded that of the Tri-College Exchange and Competition.

Tyrant Su was willing to pay any price to make An Mei happy. It was hard to imagine that he had managed to obtain two tickets. Even without saying how much he had spent on them, his dedication and effort had made her very happy.

What was truly fortunate was that Aina and Wang Zheng felt the same way. Although they liked the music, they were not rabid fans.

The school's preparations had gone into full swing. Zhang Shan was barely seen and Wang Zheng had only bumped into Meng Tian just once ever since she came back from her special training. It could be said that this time, the training was extremely secretive.

Wang Zheng continued to attend class and train as per normal, spending the rest of his time with Aina. The two of them enjoyed exploring the capital together and Wang Zheng had even managed to amass a small fortune.

After his last treat, he realized that his bank account had received tens of thousands of credits. This was a huge sum to Wang Zheng, enough to make it so that he no longer had to worry about his future school fees and living expenses.

Although Aina was a princess, she was not haughty. On the other hand, she was not interested in expensive things but enjoyed the simple streetside attractions. Wang Zheng's first gift was a small glass pendant with a bear engraved onto it. It was carved by hand and only cost 10 credits. He felt that it looked adorable and thus bought it on impulse. However, he did not expect the quality to be so… shabby. However, Aina still loved it and wore it.

Dear Student Wang couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate. Sometimes he even wondered if this was the legendary "sweetness after bitterness."

It was no wonder people often said that college life was the most beautiful, even if it was a military college.

Two tables in the canteen were joined together. A small group of people with solemn expressions were gathered around it before they suddenly burst out into laughter.

"What in the world, how could this be possible?!" Tyrant Su said depressingly.

His face was full of make up and was barely any different compared to that of an opera performer. [1]

An Mei smiled as she patted Yan Xiaosu. "Good boy, time for another round."

She took out a tube of lipstick and drew another cross onto an empty spot on his face.

The ones playing were Wang Zheng, Yan Xiaosu, Yao Ailun, Chen Xiu, Aina, Ye Zisu, An Mei, and Du Qingqing.

Card games were eternal and they were playing blackjack.

When the guys lost, the girls would use lipstick to draw on their faces. If the girls lost, slips of paper would be stuck to their faces.

Without question, the two most impressive players were Wang Zheng and Yao Ailun. Chen Xiu and Tyrant Su were the sacrifices. On the side of the girls, Aina and Du Qingqing were extremely pitiful; numerous strips of papers had been stuck onto them.

Although Wang Zheng was slightly reluctant to do so, Aina was extremely happy.

"Wang Zheng! Have you and Yao Ailun trained in this before? Why aren't you two losing?!" Du Qingqing asked in frustration. The two of them were targets of hostility.

Yao Ailun adjusted his golden rimmed spectacles, his eyes flashing with wisdom. "This is actually just a simple mathematical problem. You can easily calculate the odds."

"Wang Zheng! How about you?! I have never seen you doing any calculations!" An Mei stared at him as she shouted, "Even my Tyrant Su cannot keep this up any longer!"

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said, "I have good luck."

In actuality, Wang Zheng was also calculating the odds. However, it was all instinctive; doing such mental calculations was extremely easy for him. Furthermore, he was playing with a bunch of newbies. When he played with the Old Merchant, that was when things turned nasty. The two of them had set upon an agreed time limit and even tried to distract each other actively. However, Wang Zheng usually lost so terrifyingly that one would piss their pants. Although the Old Merchant was extremely old, it was amazing how agile his mind still was.

"If you call this luck, then I think you should be known as the God of Gamblers!"

Ye Zisu laughed, "Shishi, is this your first time playing this?"

Aina smiled and nodded her head. Actually, it didn't matter what game they played; it was the atmosphere that mattered most. Aina was like a curious baby with a cute expression on her face. Wang Zheng sneakily tugged at Aina's hand from below the table.

The guys were very casual, but the girls were extremely focused.

"I don't want to play anymore. Playing with you Physics Department students is just too exhausting. The competition is going to start in three days and I don't even know how Zhang Shan and Meng Tian are doing. The two of them are the pride of us freshmen. I hope they can win some glory for our sake!" An Mei said, before taking a wet towel to clean Yan Xiaosu's face.

"We have Masasi this time, so there shouldn't be any problems right?" Yan Xiaosu said.

"Don't be overly confident in the Moon man's strength. Apollo and Zeus College are not to be trifled with. This time we are just aiming not to lose too disastrously!" Yao Ailun said as he smiled.

"Brother Ailun, it can't be that exaggerated, right? Isn't our team really strong this time?" Chen Xiu asked curiously.

"Hehe, how could we be the only college to recruit foreign talent? The strong want to get stronger. Furthermore, they will do their best to train the most talented. Although Earth's standards are lower, if you think about it, numerous elites of Aslan are from Earth!" Yao Ailun replied cooly, mimicking Agent 007.[2]

"Doesn't that mean that we are going to get destroyed?" Chen Xiu ask frustratedly. Even the girls felt slightly worried.

"We have no other choice. From what I know, the other two colleges possess extremely strong experts."

"How do you know?" Du Qingqing asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, I'm sure you all know of Wild King. That bastard is a new freshman from Apollo College. He is currently a member of Skeleton's Army and he loves to play CT. However, even with his skill, he is only fit to be a substitute."

The rest of them looked at each other, but Yao Ailun looked as though he had not finished speaking. "This exchange is extremely important. The ones who perform exceptionally will gain the privilege of representing Earth in the Solar System Federation's Military School Grand Tournament. Thus, some of those individuals who usually do not compete will be out as well."

Ye Zisu nodded her head. "What he says is true. The mecha used for the competition have been sponsored by OMG. Those who participate in the competition upon graduation will likely become a pillar of the army. Most of them directly enter the Solar System Federation Army."

The group had stunned looks on their faces. Although the Solar System Federation was part of the Milky Way Alliance, within it were three large factions. The Earth Federation, the Moon Federation, and the Mars Federation. Each of them had their own garrison of troops and they were of a lower rank compared to the Solar System Federation's army. The Solar System Federation possessed the troops of the highest caliber and their strength was something an ordinary army could not compete with.

Military students all aspired to enter the Solar System Federation Army as that was the only way to enter the broader stage to expand their horizons.

"It can't be. Wouldn't we be cheering for nothing? Everyone was hoping that we would have an exhilarating victory!" An Mei said dejectedly. It could be seen that these weren't just words to frighten them.

"Everything is dictated by one's strength. How could it be easy to rise from the bottom? Furthermore, Masasi can't be relied upon when all's said and done. He might just leave at any moment," Yao Ailun said, as he cleaned his spectacles.

"I couldn't tell that you were such a pessimistic individual." An Mei said, as she looked at Yao Ailun.

Yao Ailun gave a wry smile. " I just like to pursue the truth."

"F*k, we will just react to the situation. We aren't from the Military Department, so let's just await Lin Huiyin's concert."

Yan Xiaosu changed the subject. Wang Zheng felt great regret. Such a great opportunity would definitely be a lot harder than his CT games. No matter how hard it was to play CT, he could not experience the collision and intertwining of life and death in it. Ah, it was all going so well, but that d*ned Bonehead had to ruin everything.

With his strength, even if he could not be a main member, he would not have been chased away so easily either.

Regardless, what was supposed to happen would happen. Zeus and Apollo Military College's interviewers had arrived. Gu Te naturally received them with the highest of standards and the school itself was bustling with activity.

The competition would not begin immediately; the reception would start with the students themselves. Ares College's students would organize representatives to engage the students from other colleges.

With the competition as the main focus, there would still be interactions and activities. However, the finale would culminate with the battle between the three.

Apollo College's captain was Campbell. He was in his third year in the Commander's Department and the champion of the previous meet. He was also the president of the student council and possessed unparalleled prestige in Apollo College.

Zeus College's captain was known as Lear Cronos. He was a freshman and chairman of the student council. He was also from the Commander's Department and was new. No one had ever heard of a freshman being the chairman of the student council. His fame was different from Campbell's. It looked as though Zeus College was planning to nurture their freshmen quite seriously.

Ares College's captain was Masasi. He was also a freshman from the Commander's Department.

It could be seen that Zeus College and Ares College were going to use such a method to challenge Apollo College. It looked as though Apollo College had to do more to ensure the success of their future competitions.

Although they were competitors, Campbell's entrance received the loudest cheers. He could be considered a celebrity in the military colleges. After he graduated, he would likely enter the Solar System Federation Army's Ace Fleet. In his situation, he would likely be promoted to a lieutenant almost immediately and surpass what many took years to achieve.
