Chapter 58: Tyrant's Smokescreen

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Campbell was well known for looking at the bigger picture. He was multi-talented and was crowned as the All-Rounded Commander by the students of Apollo Military College. Furthermore, he was known as Earth's strongest student.

On one hand, the competition was meant to be a place for the students from different colleges to have a setting to interact. On the other hand, it was meant for the participating students to get to know each other better. As a result, conflict was needed. Everyone improving their skills together would be for the best…

Actually, all of it was nonsense. The most important thing was for the students to fight it out! Victory at all costs!

As the competition approached, the students who came from other colleges could choose to listen in at any of the numerous classes at Ares College. As a result, the teaching staff was extremely attentive and wished to demonstrate their full abilities to prevent the other colleges from laughing at them.

This was not a one off occurrence. As they were the host, the guests were scrutinizing everything in great detail. The students that were brought over were all experts who were here to compete, and if news leaked out that the school was ridiculed, they would not have any face left if it were to spread.

However, this was simply what the press loved to do. The competition between the three military colleges would definitely be on the headlines.

In any case, during the last exchange, Ares College had embarrassed themselves greatly. One member of the teaching staff had been questioned by the students and was unable to give satisfactory answers. As a result, that member of staff had even resigned. Although it was not a large issue, under such special circumstances, the situation had blown up and affected the college and the individual's personal pride.

However, there were those who did not care at all. One of them would be Xiao Fei.

Although she did not pay the situation much heed, she had still very responsibly said that she was unparalleled in the Solar System Federation. There was no one who would dare challenge her.

Her class was also one of the most anticipated ones. In Ares College, she was probably the most outstanding staff member around.

Xiao Fei's class was extremely engaging. Aina and Wang Zheng were usually the focus of attention in the physics class and thus they opted to find a quiet corner to sit in.

In order to not be distracted, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu remained in their previous center row seats.

Xiao Fei couldn't do any information about Wang Zheng. Although she did not like inattentive students, she knew that Wang Zheng only paid selective attention. Repeating something that a genius already knew was a form of torment and thus she closed one eye towards the situation.

There were several foreign students in the class. Xiao Fei knew that they were from other colleges and did not pay them much attention. She taught as per usual and did not change the way she did things.

From their uniforms, there were two students from Apollo College and three from Zeus College.

Originally, Wang Zheng didn't pay much attention to them, but suddenly he started staring blankly at one of the students for a brief moment. Of the students from Zeus College, two were males and one was a female, and he actually recognized the female student.

Yue Jing!

She had transferred schools to Zeus Military College. Although that was the case, she didn't seem like a Physics Department student, so what was she doing here?

The two guys beside her did not seem like they were from Earth. They were likely from the Moon.

"What beauty are you looking at? You're completely spellbound," Aina quietly whispered.

Wang Zheng revealed a bitter smile. "It's my and Xiaosu's worst enemy."

Wang Zheng was actually innocent; he was just responsible for sending a letter, but for some strange reason, Yue Jing seemed to hate him even more for that.

Aina did not have a very deep impression of Yue Jing. Only after being reminded by Wang Zheng did she finally remember. As a princess of the Aslan Empire, people like her were so common that they were like grains of sand. However, in Yue Jing's world, Aina was the true almighty princess.

To Yue Jing, although it was now in a different capacity, she was finally back. She had been forced away while Yan Xiaosu and that bastard Wang Zheng had entered Ares College. In fact, she heard that that b*h Ye Zisu was very close to them. Yue Jing was so displeased that she could not swallow such a fact down.

One has to rely on themselves to struggle against fate. Her family had managed to gain the backing of an even greater family and she wanted to retrieve all that she had lost.

Before she came, she had already thoroughly researched the situation behind Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu. Wang Zheng was in the Physics Department and was highly prized by the professor. That useless scum with a genetic score of 28 had actually entered the Physics Department. Wasn't this just a dream?

Yue Jing could not believe that Wang Zheng had managed to enter the Physics Department based on his merit. There was definitely something behind the scenes. It was highly likely it was due to Xie Yuxin's influence. Xie Yuxin was Gu Te's grandson and was Wang Zheng's brother for life.

As for that Xiao Fei, Yue Jing believed that she was not as honest and virtuous as people thought. Becoming a professor at such a young age definitely meant that she had taken some shortcuts.

How could a school which had spent four years at the bottom of the rankings hovering between life and death possibly experience a reversal of fortune?!

She truly hated Yan Xiaosu, Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu, Ares College… basically all of them!

Only when she could have all of them below her foot would she finally be able to scrub all her humiliation away!

The first step would be to destroy Ares College's reputation. The audacity of such a college to dare to compete with Zeus College!

Time passed and the lesson ended. The entire class was filled with raucous applause. The students demonstrated their enthusiasm and excitement to be taught by such an intelligent and beautiful teacher.

"Carlos, Gong Jin, it's your turn to shine. Don't let Lear down."

One could easily see that Carlos and Gong Jin were not new students. However, they treated Yue Jing with the utmost respect.

During the question and answer session, Carlos raised his hand. Xiao Fei nodded her head.

Carlos stood up and silently looked around the entire classroom. "I often hear that Professor Xiao Fei is an expert in space-time physics. I heard that for the last few years you have been researching methods to traverse space-time. My first question would be about this topic. With regards to the state of warp travel, without talking about the fundamentals, in these five years, has Professor Xiao Fei managed to find a solution?"

After speaking, he silently stared at Xiao Fei. Warp travel required one to identify the spatial coordinates of the location, and such a technique was the most common approach utilized in interstellar navigation. Humanity constantly strove to expand their boundaries. Thus, the further development of warp travel was one of the most important areas of research currently being conducted. If it was successful, it would be able to simplify the process and reduce the time needed to travel long distances.

However, the largest problem with warp travel was that the spatial coordinates were often unstable and could not be precisely located.

People who opposed the research were not small in number; they felt that development in this direction was a mistake and a waste of resources to develop something useless.

The student just wanted to challenge the teacher, so the specific details were useless. Carlos had clearly done his research with regards to the topic before choosing to challenge her.

"Professor Xiao Fei, Professor Marshall and Professor Andros are experts in the field of space-time. They and many experts have conducted many experiments and felt that pursuing such a thing is complete nonsense. Scientists should dream big and create something new, not fiddle with established foundations and come up with whimsical and unrealistic research to distract the rest of the world. This does not meet the rigorous nature of science!"

Said Gong Jin. He had quoted individuals that were no less impressive compared to Xiao Fei.

In fact, what he had said was true. These young geniuses were definitely subject to more criticism.

Such a controversy had already existed for quite some time. The road of academia was a long one and was full of struggles. However, Xiao Fei was unconcerned about her critics. Such individuals were useless; they could only solve problems that didn't exist and prodded their noses into everything. It was the only way they could validate their existences.

Thus, when dealing with these people, Xiao Fei was never courteous towards them. However, as a teacher, arguing with students was beneath her.

Looking at Wang Zheng, who was sitting in a corner, Xiao Fei couldn't help but smile darkly. That bastard had been living such a comfortable life. She didn't even know where he had found such a pretty girl.

"Wang Zheng, Carlos' and Gong Jin's thoughts are very interesting. As my assistant, what views do you have?"

Xiao Fei immediately passed the baton to Wang Zheng.

Carlos and Gong Jin couldn't help but give disdainful smiles. Xiao Fei didn't choose to confront them directly but offered someone else to be sacrificed in her place. What was this bastard worth? Could he actually solve this conundrum faced by the physics world?

Yue Jing stared at Wang Zheng, her pretty face frozen solid. For some reason, the one she hated the most was not Yan Xiaosu but Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng's carefree expressions and blank face had caused her to feel immense pain. She had always wondered how this bastard would even find a girlfriend, but in fact, sitting right next to him was a girl of unparalleled beauty!

Aina had realized that she was too easily recognized; thus, just dyeing her hair was insufficient. Her starred pupils were too special, so she wore spectacles. This way it would be extremely difficult to recognize her. Furthermore, who would expect an Aslan princess to be sitting in the lecture hall like a normal individual?

When Wang Zheng stood up, the rest of the students began to whisper incessantly. Apollo College's two students also stared at Wang Zheng. They had never heard of this guy, and since he wasn't even part of the student council, they didn't think he would be some exceptional talent.

In the Tri-College Exchange, with military matters taking precedence, non-military matters would be more casual. Although the experts would gather to interact, there would also be some hidden rivalries.

Wang Zheng was unconcerned with Yue Jing. To him, all those matters of the past were just that. Yan Xiaosu had also found someone for himself and everything was fine with him.

However, when someone stirred trouble on Ares College's turf, they had to be crushed completely.

He had already discussed the subject of this question with the Old Merchant multiple times. However, at this point, most of the theories were just conjectures from the Old Merchant. He would often lament about the fact that if he had more time, he would have already solved the problem. It was as though his research was much more complicated than this.

"Firstly, warp travel through space-time is definitely possible!"

Wang Zheng started off with a conclusive and tyrannical statement.

The Physics Department students were used to this person who would usually be extremely quiet but in times of crisis surprise everyone with his insight. However, the students from the other colleges did not know that.

What he said was truly overbearing.

Wang Zheng truly felt that way and thus spoke his mind.

"Student over there, you are indeed quite cocky. The entire Milky Way Coalition's problems seem like a piece of cake to you. As Professor Xiao Fei's assistant and as a representative of Ares College, I would like to hear what you want to say!"

Carlos felt that this was extremely funny. A freshman would dare to say such audacious words.

Wang Zheng gave a wry smile. "The problem lies with locating the coordinates. However, this problem can be easily solved. The universe is constantly in motion; although you can't see it, that does not mean it's not true. Our current way of locating spatial coordinates could be considered to be the most basic, at a third-dimensional level. However, upon entering warp travel, we have entered the realm of the seventh dimension. What we have to solve is the method of determining the spatial coordinates, which is to say, using the seventh dimension to solve it."

At this moment, the entire class started whispering to each other. No one had heard of such an idea, but it actually seemed plausible.

Carlos's face turned green. "Your train of thought is not new. However, it's just a conjecture. Determining the position in the seventh dimension is just unrealistic!"

Chapter 59: Awesome!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Haha, if we were to hold things that 'could' be done as our standard, then science would no longer advance. As this is feasible, we have to advance in that direction. Thus, Professor Xiao Fei's topic of discussion is definitely correct."

Wang Zheng smiled. Xiao Fei also nodded her head, showing her satisfaction.

Carlos was speechless. Research was something that had no ending. If there was, why would there be a need to continue researching? This was the reason why scientists continued to pursue the truth, and he could not refute this reason.

Yue Jing's face turned green. This bastard was still so eloquent. After saying a bunch of things she did not understand, he started to scare her.

Gong Jin, who felt insulted, replied, "If you can't even handle him, then I'm greatly worried for our future!"

Carlos and Gong Jin glanced at each other momentarily. They were terribly uneasy, but there was no other way. Lear had previously promised that if they settled the situation satisfactorily, they would be able to enter the Solar System Federation's Science Research Institute.

Gong Jin cleared his throat and said, "Student Wang, you are going around in circles. I would like to know if the world renowned genius Professor Xiao Fei has made any progress at all in all these years. Could you please give us students some confidence?!"

Everyone's gaze fell on Xiao Fei. Gong Jin's question was indeed something on everyone's minds. After researching for so many years, there should have been some result of some sort.

However, conducting research was not the same as debating. A large amount of research was conducted methodologically, eliminating hypotheses one at a time. However, the research had not progressed to such a step. Xiao Fei had experimented with numerous methods but none of them bore fruit.

At the same time, she could not divulge secret information just to refute the question.

At this point, Wang Zheng laughed. "We have deduced the method already!"

"Really? Then that must be good news for the Milky Way Alliance. I hope you won't tell me that it's confidential information!" Gong Jin smiled as he replied.

Absolute rubbish. If someone had discovered the method for research, it would have caused an uproar.

Xiao Fei stared at Wang Zheng. The two of them had indeed not talked about this before. What was this bastard trying to be, a scapegoat?

"Wang Zheng, this matter-"

"Teacher, although it can be considered a secret, I feel that divulging a bit of it will not harm anyone. Of course, this is only about its feasibility!"

Wang Zheng paused. The entire room's gazes rested on Wang Zheng, including Aina's. This topic was at the forefront of science, did he really have an answer?

Wang Zheng was often full of surprises. Aina was already mentally prepared for it.

"Being able to locate the seventh dimension is the current issue plaguing us. However, I believe that we need to split this problem into two parts. We will treat the current third dimension as a compound plane. This will allow us to control two layers at once. If the transmission is done in a state where speed is curved, it will cause displacement. Positioned in such a manner, the relative movement in spacetime can shift the relative coordinates of the object. Simply put, space can be moved."

The visitors who were listening in were mostly from years three or four. The entire classroom was silent; everyone was in deep thought as there were some concepts in Wang Zheng's speech that required time to understand.

On the other hand, Xiao Fei's eyes, which were full of wisdom, glittered brilliantly.

Moving spacetime?!?!

This actually seemed possible!!!

The problem that had been pestering her for several years had been solved with that one explanation!

Carlos and Gong Jin looked at each other. Even though they didn't understand, they pretended they did. They had heard of other explanations before, but it was needless to say that just by coming up with such a theory would significantly shake up the Milky Way Alliance.

This could only mean that Professor Xiao Fei had kept a low profile and couldn't be bothered to argue with others.

Carlos and Gong Jin bowed deeply. "We thank you for your teachings."

The bell signifying the end of class rang. Aina had been paying close attention to Wang Zheng's and Xiao Fei's expressions. It was obvious that with Xiao Fei's stunned and pensive expressions, this was not Xiao Fei's conjecture.

"Follow me, Wang Zheng."

Just as he was about to leave with Aina, Wang Zheng, who was about to take advantage of Aina, had a frown on his face as he stopped.

"I'm going to borrow your boyfriend for a bit." As they weren't too different in age, Xiao Fei spoke quite casually.

"No problem, Professor. Just remember to return him!" Aina replied with a sweet smile.

This girl was extremely intelligent. As a fellow female, Xiao Fei felt stunned.

Looking at Wang Zheng's distant figure, Yue Jing was so angry that she could not control herself, so she stomped away. Wang Zheng had once again defied the odds by sowing chaos with his words.

"Carlos, Gong Jin, with just their meagre ability, they dared to be so arrogant. The Physics

Department producing the most illustrious students is just a lie. This Wang Zheng is a useless piece of crap; how could you believe his random words?!"

Carlos and Gong Jin only replied after a brief pause. They were still trying to understand Wang Zheng's words. "Yue Jing, you're wrong about this. This Wang Zheng is a rarely found genius. The theory he spoke of, even if it is incorrect, will still stir up the entire scientific community. We cannot compete with him."

Carlos and Gong Jin no longer bothered with Yue Jing. The two of them went on their own way. Their eyes which had previously been clouded had now been cleared as though a window had appeared in front of them. Even if they were cynical individuals, they felt that this was a possibility. It was like the time when Newton's theory of gravity was superseded by the theory of relativity. This was sufficient to spur everyone on.

Truth is relative in science.

Wang Zheng had been dragged into Xiao Fei's office and then the door slammed shut. Student Wang was then pressed against the table by Xiao Fei.

This position…

However, Xiao Fei did not care at all about what others would think. She observed Wang Zheng intently, as though she was trying to fully comprehend what Wang Zheng was.

"Haha, Professor, if you have anything to say, we can just speak freely." Although he had done some intimate things with Aina, he had never been placed in such a position. Xiao Fei's body was almost pressing onto Wang Zheng's body directly. As Xiao Fei was a mature individual, her bodily proportions were fully developed, so Wang Zheng, a highly energetic young man, could not take it.

However, Xiao Fei did not care. "Brat, where did you learn all of that?!"

Although Wang Zheng was a genius, Xiao Fei did not believe that he could come up with what he had presented before.

This was what the Old Merchant had said. However, just as Wang Zheng wanted to say that, he remembered what the Old Merchant once said: the words spoken between them could not be mentioned to others.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Teacher, I was just speaking rubbish. That was just wisdom. Actually, I don't really understand what I was saying. As I said before, I am willing to believe in wild theories, but that was all just made up on the fly. Are you saying it was reasonable?"

Wang Zheng opened his eyes widely as he spoke. It was said that doing so would make a liar seem more honest.

Xiao Fei could not find any loopholes in his statement. At times, science required brilliant streaks of luck. It could only be said that this brat had great luck.

Suddenly, he felt like his lower body was being stared at by someone, then Wang Zheng felt his stomach lurch. Looking down, he could not hold back his reaction.

Xiao Fei then gingerly let go of Wang Zheng before giving him a nonchalant look. "Seems like you're truly worthy. It's a pity you already have a girlfriend; otherwise, I might have just kept you."

Student Wang felt defeated. How could this be a teacher? This was an evil demon. "Haha, Professor, if there's nothing else, I'm going to leave first."

"Looking at you, you're definitely a virgin. Your way of thinking is excellent and I will tell Professor Marcus about you."

Wang Zheng immediately escaped. F*k. Demon Xiao was just standing there spouting merciless words. If she wasn't his teacher, Wang Zheng would get back at her eventually.

Xiao Fei did not bother any further with this little episode. After Wang Zheng left, she was in an extremely enthusiastic mood, so she continued to make new inferences about the theory. It could be seen that although she was very boastful, her EQ and IQ were clearly unequaled.

The moment he left, he gave Aina a call. She was waiting for him in the library.

Just looking at Aina revitalized Wang Zheng. She gave a wry smile and asked, "Why are you here already?"

"I only know so much, and the rest was just something I came up with. If you did serious research, you would realize that too," Wang Zheng said helplessly as he waved his hands.

Aina did not say anything but looked at Wang Zheng. "Do you know that what you said just now was sufficient for you to go down in history as a genius?"

Wang Zheng was completely aware that the Old Merchant was an amazing geezer. However, what he talked about before was a conjecture of the Old Merchant and not his.

"I'm not that amazing."

Aina grabbed Wang Zheng's hand. "Ah, I'm slightly worried now."

"What are you worried about?" Wang Zheng asked curiously.

"Since you're so amazing, there will definitely be more and more love rivals," Aina said as she slyly ran off.

Wang Zheng couldn't help but sweat. "Okay then, my princess, since you dare to ridicule me, I need to collect some interest!"

On the grassy field, Wang Zheng and Aina chased each other energetically. In the end, the beautiful princess was caught by the big bad wolf and knocked onto the ground.

During the Tri-College Exchange, the famous professors would definitely have to show up. However, Xiao Fei did not care and gave it a miss.

Gu Te also had no say in the matter. He gave Xiao Fei a Skylink call but was rejected. On the third call, he was rejected rudely. Ah, even as a principal he felt wronged.

However, he knew that Xiao Fei had suddenly attained a breakthrough in her research. Her entire team and Marcus' team had been hastily doing research.

"Gu Te, this time we are also here because we wanted to meet Professor Xiao Fei. You've truly been underestimated by her. How could you treat us so coldly?"

In the principal's office, three old men were currently chatting and drinking tea.

The one who spoke was Apollo Military College's principal, Jamal. He had a head of golden hair and looked like he was in glowing spirits. For the last couple of years, Apollo Military College was the best one amongst the three.

"Jamal, you can forget about it; it's impossible to get get Xiao Fei to join you unless you're willing to step all over this old bag of bones."

Among the three, the one that looked the youngest was the principal from Zeus College, Adonis.

"Haha, if Xiao Fei joins us, our Apollo college will definitely be among the 50 best colleges in the Milky Way Alliance."

This was Jamal's dream.

"Haha, Jamal, you have yet to win, so don't get too excited," Adonis said. "However, this train of thought is beneficial for us. We need to find ways to improve our three colleges' ability."

Gu Te's defence was different. Jamal and Adonis sought to expand their abilities and were unwilling to descend into obscurity.

Gu Te gave a wry smile. "I know what you mean. However, wanting to enter the top 50 schools in the Milky Way Alliance is meaningless. We have to protect Earth's pride at least."

Adonis had suggested that the three colleges merge. Jamal on the other hand felt that a new college completely independent of their three colleges should be formed. They would focus their resources on this new college to create the best college on Earth.

Gu Te was in opposition of both of their ideas. A college was meant for the students, not for the sake of status. Although one needed glory for cohesion, strength, and belief, if it was only for glory's sake, then it would be meaningless.

With the three military colleges' strength, if they were to focus on only the exceptional students, this could be done. However, how would this affect the status quo on Earth?

This was no different from drinking poison to quench one's thirst.[1]

The three old men continued to discuss numerous methods and argued for some time. It was clear that Jamal and Adonis wanted to attain the position of champion amongst them. Gu Te, on the other hand, was quite ambivalent.

Chapter 60: His Name Shakes the Milky Way!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The biggest gambling chip was Xiao Fei. However, it was unlikely that she would be worth much in the grand scheme of things.

Jamal and Adonis were very interested in poaching Xiao Fei; they were willing to offer the highest compensation in order to get her to join them. It was just a pity that Xiao Fei was completely uninterested, leaving the two of them to feel extremely helpless.

"Gu Te, your style of thinking is too old fashioned. The situation now is extremely fierce and things are changing. To be bound by existing conventions will not suffice. Are you hoping that geniuses will simply magically appear? A case like Xiao Fei is as good as it gets. What else can you do?"

Jamal gulped down a mouthful of tea before admonishing, "Actually, aren't you also changing the system? You poached students from the Moon and from Mars. However, you were too late and too slow."

Gu Te gave them a wry smile as he played with the teacup in his hands. This high grade tea was extremely flavorful and was one of the best teas that could only be drunk on Earth.

"This is my strategy, and I will still continue to use it in future. Although these students might not stay for long, their existence will continue to inspire other students. I believe that as the birthplace of Mankind, Earth will not continue to decline.

Jamal and Adonis felt extremely helpless. Gu Te was as stubborn as a rock in a rubbish dump; he was smelly and hard to convince! All of the major military academies were actively trying to woo elites and new students, doing their best to attract them. However, this Gu Te was extremely long-winded and too unrealistic.

This was a typical strategy of the colleges on Earth.

However, the truth was that Earth was no longer the core of Mankind.

Such fanaticism and self-belief belonged to the minority who sought to maintain Earth's culture regardless of the circumstances.

Even if the discussion fell through, the other two headmasters were determined to try and convince Gu Te to pool their efforts together. Perhaps there would have been a chance of success.

"Regardless of how busy Xiao Fei is, I'll make sure she attends the opening ceremony tomorrow."

Gu Te said. He did not know what was keeping Xiao Fei busy. She called it a secret and no one had even seen her shadow in the last three days.

At this point, the Skylinks of the three principals rang. As they were all old acquaintances, they didn't really care, so all of them opened their Skylinks.

The three of them were extremely important members of the military government as well as representatives of the Solar System Federation. A Blue-Class secret message only meant one thing: there was good news!

Jamal and Adonis looked at each other. Speak of the devil, it really happened.

The two of them had complicated expressions on their faces. To be honest, Ares College had been declining, but a genius like Xiao Fei had appeared and even joined them. Although she couldn't save the college by herself, she was still a life-saving pill.

But it was exactly as Gu Te had just said. Sometimes all it took was one person to create a miracle.

Xiao Fei's newest theoretical paper had shaken the entire scientific world.

"Curved State Space -Time Movement Positioning."

The paper suggested numerous arguments, and although all of it was purely theoretical, it was the first paper to have shaken the entire scientific community in years.

Xiao Fei and her team had not slept at all during the last few days, but all of them were extremely happy. A lot of the work had been completed a long time ago, but it lacked a certain direction to it. However, after hearing Wang Zheng's words, an idea sparked in Xiao Fei's mind and she managed to link all of her previous research together.

Scientists were sometimes crazy and sometimes paranoid. However, these individuals would never stop theorizing, even if it meant disregarding all rest and sleep. Yet all of them were bursting with vigor even after all that! These people were insane!

In the scientific world, these scientists were the true gods!

Such prestige was no less than what a soldier would receive.

This was what it meant to be a hot-blooded scientist.

The moment the paper was published, without a doubt it had stirred the entire scientific community into a frenzy. If it was proven to be true, it would once again drive Mankind's advancement and a great leap forward would be accomplished.

This was the result of innovation.

Mankind's scientific advancements were in the form of large jumps. From Einstein till now, a single individual could change history. However, after the moment such an individual appeared, science would then struggle along as it slowly developed.

After so many years, everyone felt that another genius would soon appear. In fact, most of them felt that it would be Alan Tucker. However, the facts proved otherwise; the true genius was Xiao Fei.

This young female scientist's name had shaken the Milky Way Alliance.

This also allowed Ares Military College's name to rise from obscurity.

Jamal and Adonis could only bitterly smile as they congratulated Gu Te. This guy's luck was just too good. They had sacrificed so much and made so many preparations, but in the end, none of it could match up to his luck.

Gu Te could not help but give them a large smile. "I'm sorry, my friends, I need to go congratulate the scientists. Please make yourselves at home."

Jamal and Adonis gave each other a look. "Haha, Old Gu, this piece of news is the pride of the Earth. We should all go to congratulate Xiao Fei."

"Indeed. The last time Xiao Fei came over, she was still a student. After so many years, I knew she would definitely create a miracle."

Jamal and Adonis acted particularly thick-skinned. At a time like this, this was necessary.

Gu Te knew that the other two old bastards were up to no good, but he still did not hold them in too much contempt.

Gu Te had always been waiting for Xiao Fei to succeed. To be frank, if it was another principal, they would definitely have gotten fed up with this problematic and capricious subordinate. So what if she was talented? This year alone had plenty of other talented individuals that also required nurturing. Furthermore, she had not produced any results over so many years. Gu Te, on the other hand, was different; he had always continued to support Xiao Fei.

His principles were simple: don't suspect the ones under you and don't have suspicious individuals under you. Giving the other party space to develop and grow was important compared to criticizing and ordering them around.

The entire research laboratory was celebrating. The highest scientific authority in the Solar System Federation had already acknowledged the paper and rumors saying that everyone was absolutely dumbfounded by the theory were spread.

"Dr. Marcus! Thank you for all your hard work for all these years!" Xiao Fei said sincerely.

Marcus gave her a small smile. "The one that should be giving thanks should be me!"

The two of them were old partners. Marcus had never let Xiao Fei's age affect his opinion of her. On the other hand, he agreed with her reasoning. A scientist required an outstanding mathematician's help in order to increase their rate of success.

Their joint success had once again confirmed this fact. Of course, although a large amount of credit was due to the scientist, the contribution of the mathematician was also indispensable. Those who chose this line of work already knew this fact, as the important thing was finding meaning in life.

"I think we have to thank that brat. He is our lucky star!"

Marcus sighed. When he found out that that line of thought had originated from Wang Zheng, he was shocked. His ability to do math truly left people speechless.

"Hehe, that brat will become famous soon enough."

There were three names at the bottom of the theoretical paper: Xiao Fei's, Marcus', and Wang Zheng's.

From a student's point of view, it was truly a miracle. Only those who had contributed greatly to the paper would appear on it; even the other researchers were not recognized.

Without Wang Zheng's incisive comments, no one would know how many more years it would have taken before results could be shown.

Even if much of the work had nothing to do with that brat, in certain cases, inspiration was the most important thing. It was what differentiated one from others.

The three principals quickly came over. Adonis and Jamal's enthusiasm had even seemed slightly overwhelming.

"Dr. Marcus, I finally understand why you chose to come here so many years ago. Although I feel regret, I also feel extremely happy for you."

Jamal said.

"Jamal, you're too polite. We are just assisting her work."

"That's very humble of you. May I know who Dr. Wang Zheng might be?" Jamal suddenly asked.

At this point, Adonis's eyes lit up as well. "Yes! Could you please introduce us to him? I have never heard of this genius until today. It is extremely ignorant of me."

Xiao Fei and Marcus glanced at each other momentarily before roaring in laughter.

Jamal and Adonis then stared at each other. Was this question really so funny?

A researcher at the side couldn't help but to explain to them, "Principals, Wang Zheng is a student. He's not a doctor. In fact, he is a freshman of the Physics Department."

Gu Te was stunned momentarily. He couldn't believe his ears. When he first saw the name, he just thought that it was someone else with the same name.

Jamal and Adonis glanced at each other. One could clearly see the thirst in their eyes.

A genius freshman?

Fuck. If they didn't try to poach him, the heavens wouldn't forgive them!

The two of them smiled dully. "Ah. The two of you have taught the younger generation well! However, don't you think that the prestige afforded to him does not match up to his contribution?"

Jamal looked at the rest of them trying to spot any dissatisfaction, but to his surprise, there was none.

Xiao Fei shook her head. "Honestly, his name should be at the front. Without his revolutionary thinking, we would not have today's paper."

Gu Te suddenly coughed dryly. "Xiao Fei, you look extremely tired. I don't think we should disturb you any further."

After saying so, he winked at her furiously. This Xiao Fei was good at many things; however, she was not good at reading in between the lines. Jamal, that old fox, was clearly just trying to get more information from her.

Jamal and Adonis already knew from the start that even if they could not poach Xiao Fei, they could still poach others. Thus, they were already smiling in their hearts.

Students were much easier to tempt. Furthermore, whether it was Zeus College or Apollo College, both of them were considered to be better than Ares.

The two principals were also of similar thoughts. The moment they got back, both immediately called all of their Physics Department students to try and figure out if they knew who this student by the name of Wang Zheng was.

After Carlos and Gong Jin recounted everything that happened, Adonis began to pace back and forth. This student was one that was recognized by Xiao Fei, so he needed to figure out what privileges and special methods he could use to tempt him.

This was a genius among geniuses!

He had to be poached. If they wanted to enter the top 50 in school rankings in the Milky Way Galaxy, one not only needed a strong military teachings department, but they also needed to contribute to the sciences. This brat had quite a good future ahead of him.

It goes without saying that just by being recognized on the research paper was sufficient to make him famous in the scientific community.

If he wanted to snatch such an extraordinary student away, he would first have to demonstrate his school's ability.

Without question, there was an excellent opportunity right in front of him.

"Oh yes, I heard that Student Yue Jing was his friend from middle school."

Gong Jin suddenly said.

Adonis then smiled immensely. "Why didn't you say this earlier! Bring Yue Jing over!"

When Yue Jing entered the principal's office and heard what he had to say, she almost bit her lip apart. This was not a joke!

This piece of trash that existed at the bottom of Dawn Middle School suddenly became a physics genius?

Yue Jing would not believe it even with the threat of death. However, the facts were in front of her; additionally, the principal could not have been lying.

He even wanted her to come up with a plan to seduce Wang Zheng and get him to enter Zeus College instead. Any conditions could even be discussed.

Yue Jing felt like as though she was selling her body to seduce Wang Zheng.

Yue Jing was clearly very angry. Doing such a derogatory thing made her feel absolutely disgusted.

Not every principal was so willing to engage with their students. Adonis was an extremely engaged principal and he hoped that all the students would contribute to the school as the school's glory was also the student's glory.

Regardless of whether she was willing or not, Yue Jing still had to put on a show.

At this point in time, Student Wang was completely oblivious to everything that was happening. Xiao Fei was Wang Zheng's benefactor, so he would help her whenever possible. Furthermore, he didn't want to lose any face in front of Aina.

Student Wang did not like to be serious. However, in front of Aina, he would often defend her vigorously regardless of the situation, from the past till now.

Perhaps he had fallen in love with her the moment he met her. Wang Zheng never saw Aina as a princess.

Aina could truly feel that Wang Zheng treated her genuinely without any concern for her position. Only Aina could see how wonderful Wang Zheng was.

Whether he was famous or not was of no concern to Aina. This was the wonderful thing about the two of them.

When the two were together, they would never run out of things to say. From topics about things all over the galaxy, to the arts and sciences, even about love itself. Wang Zheng felt that his ability to communicate with her was getting better and better.

As a result, the relationship between the two became closer and closer. Aina was a huge source of distraction to Wang Zheng. Every time they separated, Wang Zheng had to practice his Primordial Regression Technique before he could have peace of mind. More recently… he had even started to have erotic dreams of her.

However, what was truly pitiful was that whenever he was almost successful in his dreams, a scary Bonehead would appear and, with electric bolts flashing out of his hands, instantly shock poor Wang Zheng awake.

There were no secrets that could be hidden in the school. This little matter soon spread around the entire college and caused quite an uproar.

Dr. Xiao Fei had managed to come up with a breakthrough in the field of space-time physics and it brought glory to both Ares College and Earth.

The people of Dormitory 007 were also celebrating. Unsurprisingly, Yao Ailun managed to obtain firsthand information.

"Wang Zheng, you're too dazzling. In the future, we need to watch you carefully. You actually managed to get yourself recognized in the theoretical paper by Xiao Fei! GOD!"

Yao Ailun said exaggeratedly. It could be seen that he was extremely envious.

"Brother Zheng, being able to produce such results when you're still in college is truly amazing. The number of people able to do so in the entire Milky Way Alliance can be counted on the fingers of one hand!"

Zhang Shan also felt extremely happy for Wang Zheng. "Looks like our dormitory has produced someone famous. Wang Zheng, I think you should just focus on scientific research. I, on the other hand, am going to transfer departments."

The three of them stared at him blankly. "Brother Shan, are you serious? Where are you going?"

Zhang Shan gave them a big smile. "I realized that the Mecha Department suits me best right now."

Zhang Shan's family was highly engaged in research. Thus, ever since he was young, he had always been involved in research, but deep in his bones, he knew that this was not his true calling. However, before this, he had never even thought of trying something else.

Different people are born with different innate talents. Most importantly, so long as one lives, one can do whatever they want to.

Wang Zheng shook his head. "Teacher Xiao Fei has honored me greatly. The idea was something I just came up with at the spur of the moment. The entire research paper was based on their work and I feel ashamed that I was recognized."

"Wang Zheng, you brat. Everything about you is great except for the fact that you're too humble. Without your revolutionary ideas, even if they were to research more, it would not be of any use!"

Zhang Shan said, as he waved his hands, "You really should give becoming a physicist some thought."

"It is not in my personality to be so calm, and I don't think I can do research. I will continue to experiment and hopefully one day be able to transfer to the Mecha Department," Wang Zheng replied.

Everything he knew about physics was due to the Old Merchant's upbringing. Perhaps his comprehension ability wasn't bad, but he had never created anything new. Neither was he interested in developing in this direction. Wang Zheng had always been very clear with regards to what he wanted to do.

He chased after excitement.

"Ah… I finally understand what it means to be demoralized after being with the lot of you," Chen Xiu replied helplessly. He used to be one of the esteemed geniuses in middle school, but after arriving here, he finally realized that geniuses were everywhere.

"Ailun, Chen Xiu, the two of you are the steady ones. I'm sure the two of you will be able to shake the world in future," Wang Zheng said.

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu glanced at each other before agreeing with the statement made in an exaggerated fashion.

This exaggeration was something often seen in the dormitory. However, in this particular dormitory, everyone was impressive.

Zhang Shan's muscles had become even more defined after the special training. He had become noticeably tanner and calmer.

Zhang Shan's physique was rarely seen. His muscles were packed with explosive power but weren't stiff. He was truly born to be a Mech Warrior.

Comparatively speaking, Wang Zheng's physique was not much worse. If he had not been removed from the special training, Wang Zheng had a pretty good chance of becoming a Mech Warrior. However, now it was just too difficult. Plus, with his performance in the Physics Department, even if he wanted to change departments, everyone would likely protest.

Student Wang had inadvertently created a huge problem for himself.

"Chen Xiu and I will not be demoralized by the two of you. With the undefeated Skeleton God, everything is possible!"

Yao Ailun shouted. Recently, the two of them had been full of energy. These two were very attentive during class and their free time. Their schedules were packed perfectly, and all their free time and entertainment was spent on CT. Every time Skeleton won a game, they were so happy it was as though nothing else mattered.

"The two of you shouldn't spend so much time playing games. It's just a player; why are you two so riled up over him?" Zhang Shan asked. He was completely uninterested in such distractions.

"Zhang Shan, you seem to be quite interested in mecha fights. Why don't you take a look at some videos of Skeleton? I'm telling you, if you research his actions properly, it will definitely help your battle skills."

"Haha, real battle is very different from CT. Such childish games don't fit me. I heard that a lot of people like to play it and it resulted in a decline in their actual skill levels."

Zhang Shan was clearly very stubborn. He was just like the Wang Zheng of before.

However, he was one that was blessed. He had managed to pilot an actual mech, unlike poor Student Wang, who had only ever fixed one.

"Do you have any confidence in this year's competition? I heard that the competitors are all very strong. Do you think you can show us the school's true potential?"

Yao Ailun shrugged his shoulders as he said it. No one could give a full answer to this question.

Zhang Shan smiled wryly. "Don't worry. We won't be any worse than that little Skeleton of yours. We are going to be using real knives and guns. We will definitely defeat the enemies."

"Hehe, if you are missing anyone, remember that I still exist! I still want to be in the reserve team!"

Wang Zheng said.

"Relax. We are all brothers here. I will definitely remember. However, did you truly give up on Meng Tian? That bitch has been training as though her life depended on it these few days. She's a great girl, you know?"

Zhang Shan suddenly changed the topic.

Wang Zheng gave him a bitter smile. "We are just friends. We aren't that close."

"Ah. If I had not met Wang Shishi in person, I would have tried my best to convince you to go after Meng Tian. Such an illustrious girl but yet completely unable to sway you."

Zhang Shan praised without holding anything back.

"Brother Shan, if you like her, you should chase after her," Chen Xiu replied.

"Haha, I have to wait for the right opportunity. I aim to perform well in this competition to impress her. With the exception of Masasi, that unfathomable bastard, the rest are inconsequential."

Although Ma Xiao was famous in Ares College, being the president of the MMA club and the CT club, in Zhang Shan's words, if there was no tiger on the hill, then the monkey would be king[1].

As Ma Xiao was about to graduate, he didn't care about being extraordinary anymore and had become quite lax.

After chatting for a bit, Zhang Shan was asked to go. He had to go for the final drill practices. It was unfortunate that he could not see the envy in Wang Zheng's eyes.

Student Wang felt as though he could not sit still any longer. He truly wanted to go for a spin on the mecha.

"Brother Zheng, where should we go tonight?" Chen Xiu asked curiously.

Yao Ailun looked at Chen Xiu quizzically. "Idiot. He's in his honeymoon phase. How could he accompany us vagrants?"

"Dating sure is fun."

"Wait till you go through puberty."

Before long, Wang Zheng was taking public transportation in town. As he looked at the vibrant evening night life of the city, he had a strange feeling. Living was great. It allowed one to experience numerous interesting things.

In the Rubik's Cube, other than letting him learn numerous skills, he had learned one more thing:

Appreciation.

The boss was still extremely welcoming. He knew that Wang Zheng had already graduated and the distance between Ares College and the café was still quite significant, but he had grown fond of him and often awaited him.

Wang Zheng alone would not cause his business to change significantly. However, meeting such special customers would make him very happy. In addition, he felt that Wang Zheng was a lucky star. Whenever he was around, business would be exceptional.

Wang Zheng logged on and started to stretch his fingers. It was as Zhang Shan said; although CT was fun, it did not have the same sensation on the body as piloting an actual mech, and there wasn't any pressure. However, he had no choice, and if the game was stressful, others wouldn't play it.

An ID watched by numerous players lit up.

An alarm rang out. On the system, it could be seen that numerous Skylinks buzzed into action. CT was the most popular game with the highest number of players in the whole world.

For game developers, player activity in a game was extremely important. Most recently, the number of players in the Asia Region had increased.

Solon had already become the group's team leader and was in charge all day. Regardless of when Skeleton would appear, someone would contact him immediately.

Currently, Wang Zheng had a nine win streak. Such a streak was extremely terrifying. His opponents would become stronger and stronger in terms of both skill and mecha.

In the female dormitory, a sacred land for males.

An Mei was dragging Du Qingqing and Ye Zisu to the competition.

"You and Zisu should just go without me. I have no interest in this," Du Qingqing said.

"Qingqing, this is a team activity. You have to be there. You might even be inspired by it."

"Really? I feel that Wang Zheng's body is even more inspirational," Du Qingqing ridiculed.

"It's a pity. This little stalk has an owner. Oh wait, he's no longer a little stalk, he's a famous stalk."

An Mei said. "Zisu! Just because there's a goalkeeper, it doesn't mean you can't score. We'll support you!"

Ye Zisu seemed quite indifferent to the situation. One couldn't tell if she was feigning it or not. "I have faith that time will tell."

"Zisu, I'm sure you have a trump card hiding somewhere. Why don't you tell us truthfully?" Du Qingqing said as she hugged Zisu. Many guys did not know what was happening in the girls' dormitory. They dressed more casually than guys, so the chances of one spotting a girl walking around in her underwear was higher than seeing a guy do the same in the guys' dormitory.

It was truly stunning.

[1] This means that if there was no one stronger than him, then he would have the opportunity to be the best.

But of course, the three girls were not dressed like such. However, their loose-fitting pajamas could easily be seen through.

"Qingqing, I think it would be best for you to be more concerned about yourself. Don't waste your youth!"

"Ah, the two of you. I can't believe you actually changed the subject to be about me instead. I am saving my virginity for the special one."

Ye Zisu and An Mei simultaneously sneered at Du Qingqing.

"Fine, fine! Let me see what's so different about that person."

Young Deer and Bubbly Foam had already arrived. The two commentators had had a large increase in popularity. It was something they did not expect, especially Young Deer. Even though he had more "detractors," it still didn't change the fact that he had become more popular.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to our broadcast. Skeleton is finally back online!"

Bubbly Foam was only wearing a small amount of makeup. There were rumors stating that Bubbly Foam was still a student in school and that she picked up commentating because she truly loved CT.

"I'm sure everyone was very satisfied with the last 5 on 5 battle. Skeleton's experience has shown time and time again and it has attracted the attention of numerous elites and professional players. However, they are currently still quite reserved and are not saying much, but I believe that once Skeleton continues his winning streak, he will eventually be matched up against these players. I can't wait for that day!"

A look of worship could be seen in Bubbly Foam' face. Girls loved heroes and miracles.

Uncle Young Deer smiled. "Bubbly Foam, you're still young, so you are still inexperienced in the ways of the world. Sometimes it's not good to be too idealistic. For all you know, the one operating Skeleton could be an old, ugly man."

Before the battle started, the discussion forum had already engaged in a brawl about Young Deer's damned mouth!

You're an old man. All of you are old men!

Drag Young Deer out to be executed! How could he try and seduce our Bubbly Foam?!

Long live Skeleton! Death to Young Deer!

It could be seen that Young Deer was very calm even after looking at the comments. This was something he enjoyed seeing. He truly believed that no one was undefeatable!

Regardless of the person or situation, there would always be a weakness. Furthermore, the stronger the person, the greater the weakness!

Losing was just a matter of time.

Wang Zheng knew that many things had to be prepared, and thus he silently waited for the appearance of his rival. As he browsed through a catalog of different mecha, he felt that Chen Xiu's pamphlet was just incomparable. The information here was just too detailed and robust. It would be wonderful if he could challenge the experts one day.

Perhaps it was due to Bonehead's influence, but he keenly anticipated getting stronger as the days went by. Being able to train oneself to be able to adapt to any environment and handle any combat machine was his aim as a super soldier!

Currently, mankind's training focused on specializing each soldier.

Although there were some elite mecha pilots who could pilot every mech, they could only show their highest potential in their specialized mech.

Different mecha operated differently. Most importantly, they had a different feel to them.

For example, the scout type required one to be keen and insightful.

The tank type required one to be have a spirit of sacrifice and to be brave.

The sniper types required one to be tenacious and to be able to disregard everything, such as friends, teammates, and self, all for the sake of victory.

Different people had different personalities. Once they encountered the type of mech they preferred, they would be able to perform at a completely different level. Conversely, they would only be a burden on the team.

Thus, it was as veterans often said: each type of mech has a personality to it.

Wang Zheng's situation was unique, so it was difficult to find an opponent. His rank and number of games were low. On the other hand, his win rate was extremely high. 100% win rates had to be lowered eventually.

The opponent appeared.

Shadowhunter Lord, Diamond Ranked. Assassin Type Mech Pilot.

Mech: Dark Hunter. Majia Republic's high end mech.

Shadowhunter Lord was a famous player from the Europe Region. He had a win rate of over 60% with assassin type mechs. Specifically, his win rate with the Dark Hunter was above 70%!

The Majia Republic had specially developed mecha for unique environments. The Dark Hunter was one of the more prominent ones and could even be mass produced. It was developed for fighting in rugged and dark environments.

Thus, he was nicknamed the King of the Night.

During Mankind's interplanetary expeditions, there were numerous places that were completely dark. One of the earliest places to possess such an environment was the dark side of the moon. Normal mecha were unable to perform very effectively in such an area.

Battleground: Lakato Cave Planet

In the CT community circles, there were some unspoken rules. One of them was never to challenge a Dark Hunter in Lakato.

This planet was found in the Andromeda Galaxy. The temperature on the planet would be at 300 degrees celsius all day. It was completely impossible for humans to live on it. However, as it possessed a large amount of mineral resources, mankind would not let that pass. As they were colonizing the planet, war frequently erupted. In the planet, there was a sprawling underground cave complex as well as the Lakato civilization.

Mankind eventually managed to conquer Lakato, and at the same time, the Milky Way Alliance had gained a new member.

During the period of interplanetary expeditions, the term "alien" had already disappeared, as it seemed slightly childish. This was no more than another civilization.

As of now, Lakato was a famous tourist attraction. On the other hand, that battlefield was also the nightmare of numerous soldiers.

Everyone cautiously awaited Skeleton's choice of mech. The Lakato Cave Battlefield possessed one of the more extreme terrains. Fighting in such a battlefield required one to pick a mech that could fight in the darkness. Secondly, it required an extremely mobile mech, especially when it came to maneuverability. One wrong move would cause one to be smashed against a wall, instantly killing themselves. Beast type mecha were the preferred choice here.

Wargod No. 1…

Wang Zheng had never hesitated in the choosing of his mech, and this time was no exception. He immediately locked his choice in.

After confirming Skeleton's mech, Young Deer smiled wryly. "Hello, everyone. Our player Skeleton and player Shadowhunter Lord will engage in a fight very soon. Please tune in to stream number 8753553. Will the Wargod No. 1 be able to achieve victory in Lakato? Let us see it for ourselves."

After she finished, Uncle Young Deer started to ridicule her. "Bubbly Foam, as a supporter of Skeleton, do you feel like he has any chance of victory?"

Every die hard fan of CT understood what kind of battlefield Lakato was. A cave complex battleground was no different from a maze. The ground was uneven and there were numerous stalactites that were jutting out in every direction. Humanoid mecha were limited in effectiveness here, especially with their limited field of vision.

Every mech possessed night vision capabilities. However, Wargod No. 1 was the simplest of mecha and only possessed the most basic of night vision attachments and was severely limited in this regard. On the flip side, the Dark Hunter possessed the best night vision capabilities as well as tyrannical maneuverability, hence it was known as the King of the Night.

Bubbly Foam smiled. "Nothing is set in stone. Even the last battle seemed impossible."

"Really? Why don't we have a bet. If Skeleton loses, can I have the honor of taking you out to dinner as a celebration?"

Young Deer smiled. His moustache was carefully maintained and was extremely uniform. When he smiled, it opened up like a pair of wings and looked extremely funny.

The discussion forum erupted once again.

"Old Deer! Your mom is asking you to go home for dinner!"

"Celebrate your head! It's just a diamond ranked player. Why don't you bet your life instead?!"

"Skeleton God! He's heaven-defying and unequalled!"

With regards to such comments, Young Deer couldn't help but laugh at them. Didn't these ignorant fans know that their dream would end one day?

At this point in time, Bubbly Foam suddenly paused before saying, "Everyone in the audience, I'm sorry, but I have just received an emergency message. The account Shadowhunter Lord is being used by another individual. The person is Shadowhunter Lord's master. He is a diamond ranked player of the Europe Region. He was the number one player with the Dark Hunter for 5 consecutive months. He's Qiangsen Duoma. ID: Dark Lord."

What kind of situation was this?

Although substitutions would occasionally happen, the fact that it happened on broadcast made the situation just seem ridiculous!

It was obvious that Shadowhunter Lord did not expect to be matchmade with another player. Furthermore, at that moment, his master was sitting right next to him, excited by his own memories of the past.

This was the first battle after Wild King that he encountered another diamond ranked player.

This Qiangsen was the king of unorthodox combat, specializing specifically in dark environments.

In the Europe Region, if anyone encountered him in such a battleground, even if they were a diamond player, they would usually surrender immediately to prevent themselves from being abused.

This person possessed a dark and sadistic heart.

"We should interview Skeleton to get his opinion," Bubbly Foam said.

To Wang Zheng, Passerby A and Passerby B were no different from each other.

After a brief moment, the broadcast continued. CT's support team had become even busier after this small interruption.

The number of viewers swiftly rose. Battles between experts would always create a show, and this battle was completely different from previous battles. Specific environments would suppress different mecha in different ways. Without even comparing with the Wargod No. 1, even if it was a better pilot, some mecha would still perform terribly in this cave complex.

Wargod No. 1 VS Dark Hunter. 5 Minutes to showdown.

The official website spared no cost to advertise this match. At the same time, on Mars' and the Moon's official CT websites, a similar advertisement also showed. Although it was not headlining, it was rare for a match on Earth to be shown in the other two regions. This only happened when the match was exceptionally exciting.

It had also attracted the attention of a portion of fans on the Moon and on Mars. Being able to see the standard of Earth's players was something extremely interesting.

What was most interesting was that the match that was being broadcasted was a low level one. This only served to pique everyone's interest further.

There were numerous reasons to watch the broadcast. Not only was Skeleton on a nine win streak, he was also the main actor in Lin Huiyin's MV.

This was what truly attracted everyone's attention.

However, the moment the viewers saw the mecha that was being used, those with a bit of knowledge started to make noise.

Was this some kind of f*king show?

A performance competition?

Some people felt depressed while others regretted it. However, the money had already been spent, and if they didn't watch the broadcast, their money would have been wasted. Perhaps they would be able to enjoy the music before the match started. Plus, that broadcaster, Bubbly Foam, was very pretty…

However, those who were more attentive noticed the number of viewers.

… 524587 viewers…

This was the number of viewers?

Was there something wrong?

Did these viewers on Earth have some sort of problem? Why were there so many people watching such a match?

The number of viewers at the start of this match matched the peak number of viewers during the last match. Although there wasn't any announcement made, the enthusiasm of the fans could not be controlled.

It has to be known that many high level competitions are announced at least a week in advance.

Qiangsen had already finished his preparations. Skeleton's appearance had already attracted the attention of numerous high level players. This bastard had caused them to lose a lot of face. The discussion of Skeleton among high level players had increased more and more. Yet because of their positions, they did not wish to demean themselves by challenging him directly. Furthermore, with the matchmaker, the opponent's rank was very low and it was unlikely that they would be able to fight.

Thus, this opportunity was god-given. At this point in time, there was no need to hide one's identity. He was trying to tell everyone that he was Qiangsen Duoma, the King in the Dark!

Chapter 63: Blind Battle!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Before the battle, a few of Qiangsen Duoma's battle video highlights were broadcasted. It could be said that he lived up to his reputation in his official statistics.

Within the video highlights a replay of a Pentakill was included. His actions were truly godly. With regards to fighting in the dark and in complex terrain, he truly possessed deep insight and understanding.

After reaching a certain point in skill, the mech could be considered to be quite rigid. However, every individual possesses a different insight towards piloting a mech as well as a different awareness of the environment, and this cannot be replicated.

Looking at the exciting battle recordings, even if it was an extremely arrogant opponent, they would undoubtedly accept that Qiangsen was an expert.

On the Lakato World, fighting with him was no different from being in a nightmare.

The audience quickly divided themselves into two camps. One side believed that Skeleton would continue to live up to his miracles. The other side was just awaiting the end result. If the real Shadowhunter Lord was the one fighting, Skeleton's win rate would likely be about 70% even though he was not used to the terrain. However, if Qiangsen was the one fighting, Skeleton's win rate would only be approximately 50%. This 50% was only due to the fact that they believed in miracles!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the battle has begun!" Bubbly Foam said excitedly.

The map displayed on the screen. This was Lakato's mysterious underground caverns. With a bird's eye view, the entire terrain could be seen to be very complicated. Due to the large amount of stalactites jutting about, it was extremely dangerous for the mecha.

The geology here was completely different from Earth's. The stalactites were extremely dense and had been forged under the heat of thousands of degrees. High speed was completely worthless here, as it would likely get one impaled on a random stalactite.

One's ability to jump, to be adaptable, and to understand the terrain were the key factors in battling on Lakato.

Although Wang Zheng had never experienced such a battlefield, he had taken in much of the details surrounding him with a quick sweep with his eyes. Remembering the details was crucial here. With regards to such things, a quick glance was all that was needed for Wang Zheng's body to develop the necessary judgment and intuition for the fight.

The so called super soldiers did not use their minds to analyze the environment, they used their bodies.

Innate memories and reactions were the strongest!

However, to develop such a skill for any situation was also quite insane.

If it was truly as Bonehead had said, that the Rand Empire possessed a corps of super soldiers, they could definitely go on a rampage throughout the universe. Most importantly, they actually had super soldiers who could fight in any environment and release their greatest strength. They truly represented the pinnacle of mankind!

Wargod No. 1 has entered!

Dark Hunter has entered!

Battle Begin!

Upon the match starting, the surroundings immediately quieted down.

Those who liked the Lakato battlefield and those who didn't formed two camps. As this was a deathly silent environment, it was so quiet that it made people nervous. Furthermore, mankind has never liked dark environments. Being unable to see much in front of them made them feel uncomfortable.

However, there was still a small minority of individuals who enjoyed the feeling of hunting in the dark.

Qiangsen Duoma was one of those people.

He love the silence. In this environment, all the complexities and worries in his mind would vanish. All that would be left behind was a pure anticipation for waiting and for battle.

It was a form of enjoyment.

The two mecha advanced through the caverns in the dark. They were also constantly scanning the environment for any traces of the opponent. The mecha moved as lightly as possible. In such a quiet environment, making any sound would be akin to revealing their location to the opponent.

The Wargod No. 1 versus the Dark Hunter. Even if it was the first time one was watching Skeleton battle, they felt extremely indignant. Was this f*ker just looking to die?

The number of viewers gradually increased. Some of them had never actually played CT but were there because they enjoyed watching mecha duel. Furthermore, this was not a battle that could be watched every day.

Dark Hunter's body structure was a cross between a wolf and a lion. This was a special creature found on Lakato known as a "mao." When mankind had arrived on Lakato, with the help of its biology, the maos managed to achieve great success in battle against man.

The Dark Hunter leaped around lightly in the darkness. It was perfectly suited to the environment. With sound suppressing attachments and a shock absorbing system, it's ability to conceal itself was unparalleled. In the darkness, the eyes were no longer as important, and one's hearing was key.

The dangerous obstacles had no effect on Qiangsen's movement. In fact, looking at the mech's rhythmic movement let people feel a sense of comfort.

Everyone who saw him move could only sigh in admiration, even those who were extremely fussy.

On the other hand, the Wargod No. 1 looked quite awkward as it staggered around. It was clear that Skeleton was not used to such an environment. Humanoid mecha were truly handicapped in such an environment because they could not speed up and their shape often caused them to clip against the occasional environmental hazard. What was worse was that this also created unnecessary sounds. This not only unnerved the pilot but was detrimental, as one had to stay calm in battle.

However, the distance separating the players at the start of the battle gave Wang Zheng enough time to get used to the environment. Something of this difficulty was not enough to make Wang Zheng lose his calm. On the contrary, he felt extremely excited.

Such a strange environment was extremely interesting. Humanoid mecha were not suited for combat here, and even some fancy skills could not be used. Unless one was looking to die, if they spun around too quickly, one could easily accidentally impale themselves on a random object.

A pretentious prick would definitely suffer such an end in this environment!

Very quickly, the Wargod No. 1 no longer swayed around, as it had found its bearings. Imminent danger was approaching as the two mecha closed the distance between them in the dark and complex caverns.

The two mecha very quickly appeared on each other's motion sensors, and the two red dots gradually approached each other.

At this point in time, the Dark Hunter suddenly accelerated. As they had entered a curved road, there was no need to engage in an ambush, as there was no meaning to it.

The Dark Hunter did not fear the Wargod No. 1. Under such oppressive circumstances, it would all be over the moment he managed to grab hold of the enemy.

A laser fired.

After firing the first round of lasers, Wang Zheng did not advance. He used his excellent accuracy with his laser rifle to suppress the enemy and hopefully weaken him.

Qiangsen reacted with surprising speed. Despite being in such a complex terrain, the Dark Hunter jumped upwards without hesitation. Skeleton's amazing rifle skills had actually missed!

In such complex terrain, laser rifles were not the best choice. Facing Dark Hunter's imminent advance, the Wargod No. 1 did not panic. It was clear that Skeleton had great confidence in his close combat skills.

The Dark Hunter had not truly dodged the laser barrage; it had been obstructed by the numerous stalactites. The Dark Hunter suddenly disappeared and then reappeared in the middle of the ceiling. The mech was currently grasping onto a stalactite. Immediately, the mech spun outwards and landed on the ground. The Dark Hunter did not directly rush towards the Wargod No. 1 but landed near the side of the cavern while simultaneously dodging the lasers fired at it. Finally, it pivoted and dove directly at the Wargod No. 1 while letting out a bestial roar. From each of its huge paws stretched out three titanium alloy claw blades which were sent sweeping towards the Wargod No. 1.

The entire set of movements was done in the span of a breath. It was truly a ghost in the dark.

Bang…

The Wargod No. 1 unsheathed its own alloy blade and at the same time took half a step backwards before stabbing downwards viciously. He had managed to trap the claws that were flying towards him and he simultaneously let out a punch.

This reaction was horrifyingly fast. In the darkness, one's vision was highly impaired, so reaction time would subsequently decrease. However, these two monsters were fighting as though the darkness did not affect them at all.

Seeing a fist flying towards him, the Dark Hunter's hind limbs exerted the maximum amount of force possible and wrenched its claws outwards trying to retreat. At the same time, it had managed to pull the Wargod No. 1 along with it and simultaneously launched another attack at him with his claws.

Although the Wargod No. 1 was slightly staggered, he did not lose balance. The claws once again met empty air. It had passed so closely that the rending of the air by the claws could be heard.

The Wargod No. 1 dodged by the smallest of margins and immediately unleashed a strong kick. The Dark Hunter immediately dodged and pulled away from the Wargod No. 1. After jumping several times backwards, it had melded into the darkness again.

The intense exchange had caused the entire audience to fall silent. They could only see the infrared lights sweep across the fields and hear sounds of moves being exchanged.

The Skeleton Legion's members were extremely tense. This was the first time they had seen someone being able to dodge Skeleton's laser barrages and not be at a disadvantage in a close combat fight.

After pulling away, the Dark Hunter had disappeared into the darkness. At this point in time, Qiangsen Duoma did something that left everyone flabbergasted.

The Dark Hunter turned off its infrared vision system!

The Dark Hunter was not only adapted for such fights, but its infrared vision system was the best. It was designed for combat in the dark and it reduced the pilot's visual mistakes.

Qiangsen turned off the vision system and instead turned on the ultrasonic system. This was only an auxiliary one.

Without the red light, the Dark Hunter completely melded into the Darkness. What was scarier was that after Qiangsen had turned off the vision system, his movement had actually become more agile!

It was as though he was in total control in this world of darkness.

All of the kids that were watching were stunned.

It was said that those who piloted the Dark Hunter to the pinnacle would be a master of the ultrasonic system. They would be like a bat, fusing with the darkness and controlling the mech purely based on instinct.

Such people could only be counted on the fingers of one hand in the military. What was one of them doing here??

Was it a fake?

Was he pretending?

The audience was not blind. This Qiangsen's movements had very clearly increased by another level. It was as though he was a ghost in the dark. Very quickly he re-approached the Wargod No. 1 without alerting him.

Because the sounds made by the Dark Hunter were just too soft, it was impossible to discern the mech's position. However, on the contrary, the ultrasonic system used echoes to discern the position of the enemy.

The main problem here was that the Wargod No. 1 did not have such a system!

Would he purely rely on his ears?

Everyone was dumbfounded. This was the beginning of his slow death.

The Dark Hunter had already entered a 10 meter radius of the Wargod No 1. The Wargod No. 1 was completely unable to discern the location of the Dark Hunter. It's infrared sensors were slowly sweeping the area but nothing could be seen.

No one had ever heard of any player being able to use the ultrasonic waves to determine the location of the enemy. Was that bastard just playing around? If he trained his body, he would be able to be an ace in the military!

This directly countered the Wargod No. 1!

In the darkness, the Dark Hunter had truly become a hunter. It was like a ghost it prepared to attack.

Only at this point in time did it let out a sound. The Wargod No. 1 knew that the enemy was at his rear, but before he could turn around, the Dark Hunter had already lunged at him.

Everyone closed their eyes. Bang…

God!

The Wargod No. 1, who was holding an alloy blade in a reverse grip, had managed to block the claws at his back! Although he did not manage to completely block the blow, he had no choice but to fight. The mech staggered but quickly retreated. The Dark Hunter once again jumped into the air and grabbed onto a stalactite hanging from the ceiling before using it to launch itself forward with its claws slashing out in a cross shape towards the Wargod No. 1!

This was an undefeated series of lethal attacks!

Does this guy have any face left? This was a skill only used by the elites of the military who had practiced to the point of perfection. What was he doing here? Didn't he have anything better to do?

The Wargod No. 1 had already lost its balance. At this moment, he grabbed a stalactite beside him and, by exerting force, he used it as a pivot to allow him to stabilize and subsequently lash out with a kick towards the Dark Hunter that was already flying at him.

The sound of a clash reverberated around the battlefield.

Chapter 64: God of the Dark

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The two mecha retreated simultaneously and disappeared into the dark. Just before the Wargod No. 1 retreated, he had turned off his infrared vision system as well.

Everyone was completely dazed at such an action.

Why did the Wargod No. 1 do something like that? He didn't have other auxiliary systems to assist him.

Was he trying to admit defeat?

However, there was no other choice. The infrared light was too bright; it was as good as painting a target board on himself in the darkness.

One had to know that the Dark Hunter had a defensive shield. No matter how hard he cut it, it was not impossible for the Wargod No. 1 to win in a brawl.

Even if Skeleton's close combat skills were very strong, in such a situation, the opponent had already proven his ability to match him blow for blow.

Regardless of whether one had watched many of such shows or if it was their first time, everyone held their breaths in excitement. Both of the commentators were very quiet. Such a battle did not require their comments. Knowing when to speak was one of the most basic skills required of a commentator!

This was the two competitors' showtime!

Although this battle was not as lively as a normal battle, the atmosphere was way more tense and hair-raising.

The Wargod No. 1 had been pressured into a dire situation, and this was the first time a competitor had ever completely suppressed Skeleton!

This was Qiangsen Duoma.

This was the might of the Europe Region's Dark Lord. This was also why he was famous yet enigmatic. In the high level arenas, so long as the map was similar to Lakato, his win rate was 100%!

Moving forward, a legend would only create another legend.

The Dark Hunter emitted a dense amount of killing intent. The prey had already been located. To Qiangsen Duoma, finding his opponent was no different from a finding a firefly in the dark.

In a Wargod's Covenant Net Café in Europe.

A middle-aged man was currently engaged in a battle. The only thing was that everyone there knew that the boss unfortunately possessed a lazy eye.

This was the legendary Dark Lord.

No one knew where he came from. Beside the middle-aged man sat a young man. He was the real owner of the Shadowhunter Lord ID.

This ordinary-looking Net Café boss used to be a soldier in the Sol Federation Federal Army. He was the ace of the black ops combat team back then. Once, when he was carrying out his duties, he had been subject to a large amount of radiation and was hit with a debilitating physical injury. At the same time, he was afflicted with amblyopia and had to retire.

Some individuals might have chosen to stay in the army in another capacity, while the more exceptional ones would choose to live in peace back home.

However, during their peaceful lives, they would often recall their glorious memories as a warrior. Only death would truly bring peace to the blood boiling inside them.

Qiangsen had not had such a feeling in ages. Although he did not know who the opponent was, excluding the physical factors, the enemy's reactions and ability to pilot the mech would definitely place him as an expert in the army.

It was not that he did not want to attack relentlessly. It was that the opponent left no flaws to exploit. All of the openings were clearly traps to be exploited by him! If he wanted to take advantage of those openings, he would have to pay a price!

At the same time, Wang Zheng could feel that the opponent was an extremely experienced export. Such experience in battle could only be obtained through battle.

The enemy was constantly probing him with his attacks.

In the darkness, the Dark Hunter renewed its assault and numerous clashing sounds could be heard. However, one could not identify where these sounds were coming from. The Dark Hunter could move unhindered, and with its claws, it could attach itself to the top of the cavern.

Without being able to locate the enemy, the laser could be used. At the same time, the Dark Hunter had finally revealed its skills. The agile movements of the mech could could scare a kid to the point where he pissed his pants.

The Wargod No. 1 was motionless, as moving randomly would only lead to his death. He was trying to determine the location of the enemy.

Without a godly sound isolating system, only echoes could be heard. If one could only hear such sounds in the deathly stillness of the dark, it would no doubt cause them to build up terror, anxiousness, and helplessness.

In the end, it would cause one to collapse.

Even the surrounding audience members felt dazed and helpless. If they were in the same position, in such a situation, they would probably be so afraid of the opponent that they would have surrendered.

In reality, most of the competitors would also choose the same option.

Fighting Qiangsen in such an environment only proved that one had a problem with their heart.

At this point in time, the stationary Wargod No. 1 suddenly slashed viciously towards his right side into empty air.

But…

F*k!

This was the position that the Dark Hunter was moving to!

Foresight!

This was the rhythm of a god! He could even foresee something like this!

This was not by chance!

Rumbling noises were heard.

The two mecha exchanged a flurry of vicious blows. It was as though the darkness did not affect either of them.

These were experts who could fight in the darkness.

In such an environment, their hearts were even clearer!

Wang Zheng was extremely happy. He had finally found a worthy opponent!

Qiangsen closed both his eyes and the corner of his mouth shifted into a gratuitous smile. He had been hoping for a battle like this even in his dreams!

Leaving the battlefield was a fate worse than death for a warrior at the peak!

Regardless of the opponent, he would give it his all!

The ultrasonic system was turned off. It was meant for newbies. Using it to make decisions would cause one's reaction time to lag by almost a third of a second.

The opponents' movements and choice of systems could all be seen on the screen.

Neither of them were using any assisting systems; they were freaks who could fight in the dark.

The alloy knife and the claws clashed in a firework of sparks. The rough terrain and obstacles in the dark were unable to obstruct the two individuals. In fact, the battle between the two became more and more intense.

Even the audience was feeling asphyxiated at this exciting sight!

This was a battle at the level of the military!

The audience on the Moon and Mars were absolutely dumbfounded. Was this the standard of Earth?

The controller of Dark Hunter was a freak, and the one who used the Wargod No. 1 was a freak as well. What kind of monster could use the Wargod No. 1 to such a level with such life-like movements?

In actuality, humanoid mecha could also perform beast-mecha-like movements. Humans evolved from animals after all, so even though the four limbs might not be as nimble, they could still suffice.

Bang…

After ten consecutive exchanges, the two mecha separated and disappeared into the darkness. This was the movement of experts. They moved like rabbits before becoming absolutely quiet.

The mecha became completely silent. In Qiangsen's ten odd years of army service, of all the experts he had ever met, the one in front of him was truly the most skilled.

Because he had not exercised properly in a long time, he wondered if he could still execute that particular set of moves.

The Dark Hunter increased the engine to the max, and Qiangsen could feel every cell in his body beginning to feel excited. It was as though he was back in the past.

The Dark Hunter suddenly lunged forward. Pitter patter pitter patter… what were these movements?

The Dark Hunter's four limbs were now moving independently of each other. However, even its position, direction of assault, and the angle which it came from could not be determined.

The slight movements which increased in erratic frequency did not cause a large disturbance; it was all contained in a small area. In the darkness, it was a completely unpredictable attack.

If the Wargod No. 1 did not move, it would definitely be destroyed. It was impossible to predict the opponent's trajectory of movement, so he could not block it like he did before.

At this point, the Wargod No. 1 started to move. The two of them began to move in the complicated terrain in absolute control.

The Wargod No. 1 also began to vary its movements to the same frequency as Dark Hunter!

How could he do that with just two limbs???

However, observing the Wargod No. 1's movement would cause one to feel slightly disorientated.

Yet this was only possible through the conversion to an erratic frequency of movement!

The distance between the two gradually decreased, and the Dark Hunter struck first. As a result, he managed to gain the initiative.

Only those who could not see would feel calm. Only then could one truly observe what was happening!

The erratic movements were ineffective!

Young Deer's heart was roaring in excitement. This bastard was considered a god? Ruin him!

First strike!

The Dark Hunter unleashed a crazy claw attack.

He was hopping from left to right while his claws were slashing crazily. It was as though there were innumerable claw attacks coming at the Wargod No. 1.

The Wargod No. 1's titanium knife could only passively defend as he parried the attacks coming at him. However, the Dark Hunter had already become completely insane and was attacking wildly. One could now see the advantage of having four limbs to traverse the terrain.

The hind legs could grip the terrain firmly and allow the front limbs to attack stably! However, the Wargod No. 1 was already wavering unsteadily as the battle progressed.

Honestly speaking, even if another mech was used, it's energy shield would have long dissipated.

How could the Wargod No. 1 survive for such a long time?

Bang Bang Bang Bang…

One of the arms of the Wargod No. 1 exploded!

Even when one passively defended, there would still be a price to pay! Under the relentless assault, the Wargod No. 1 had already exceeded its limits.

This was the Dark Lord!

Even if you were a god, you would still have to bow your head in his presence!

A few individuals began to roar loudly. There were cheering for the victor. On the other side, some of the members of the Skeleton Corps even had the urge to commit suicide.

What could be done??

Bang…

The titanium knife had been knocked away!

The Wargod No. 1's defense was already collapsing. What was Skeleton doing? Why was he not dodging? Why was he stubbornly facing death? The disadvantage in mech capabilities was clearly displayed here.

At this point in time, it had to be said that the Dark Hunter ha not even activated its energy shield.

He was going to lose.

The prey was already on the point of collapse. Qiangsen was waiting for this moment. He had completely destroyed all forms of resistance.

The Dark Hunter sliced out in a cross-shaped fashion.

The twin claws slashed across. At this point in time, Qiangsen's body surged with his long lost energy, the energy of a warrior.

Under Qiangsen's control, the speed of the claws was so high that it even caused a slight brilliance to shine out in the darkness.

This was a blow that would completely destroy the opponent.

At this point.

A red light flashed out and the Wargod No. 1 disappeared.

What followed was the sound of an explosion as fireworks blanketed the cavern.

Skeleton WIN!!

What??

What happened?

Young Deer was the first one to jump up. He had completely forgotten his role in commentating. "What happened? Did the Dark Lord disconnect? How did Skeleton win? Who is trying to fool around?"

At this point, the slow motion kill camera was replayed.

As the Dark Hunter rushed over, the entire environment suddenly lit up. Everyone finally understood why the Wargod No. 1 had refused to move. That was due to the fact that right behind him protruded a stalactite.

At the moment the Dark Hunter unleashed it's vicious attack, the red light from the infrared vision system lit up. Because everyone was in darkness, the sudden light caused them to be completely blinded. Individuals who were adapted to the dark were affected even more.

When Qiangsen realized what had happened, it was already too late. In actuality, when he had executed his attack, he had felt that he was going to lose.

This was the intuition of a warrior.

What had defeated the Dark Hunter was an enormous stalactite.

The two claws could not defend in time before the mech had already been impaled.

When the audience noticed the Wargod No. 1's movements, a chill could be felt.

The Wargod No. 1 had merely side stepped and watched the entire thing unfold.

Chapter 65: A Warrior's Dedication

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In the net café of that small town, the boss of that café was considered their god. He was their most famous expert, despite his bad eye.

He was no different from a god. A true god.

Even in their dreams, they could not imagine that in such a battlefield, Qiangsen would lose.

That Wargod No. 1 stood quietly in the darkness. It was no different from the scariest demon that ever existed.

"Teacher… How could this be?"

Ah Luo was completely shocked. How could there be anyone in this world who could use a Wargod No. 1 to beat him? Furthermore, it was in this dark terrain.

Qiangsen removed the game headset slowly, and his eyes slowly opened. Looking at this foreign world, his eyes blazed with a slight wisp of passion.

His mouth gradually turned into a wry smile. Sometimes, defeat was a form of fortune.

Watching the flaming carcass of the Dark Hunter, the Wargod No. 1 gave a salute with his remaining arm.

Warng Zheng was very sure that his opponent was a soldier. Only a soldier who had personally experienced hundreds of battles would have such a battle aura.

This was worthy of respect. Being able to exchange blows with such an opponent was his honor.

If Qiangsen was the Dark Lord, then Skeleton would be considered the God of the Dark!

The Wargod No. 1 was not a god. Even if a god were to be used in such a terrain, they would still be inevitably limited by its technical specifications. However, this was not a requirement for winning.

In the battleground, one's state of mind and the environment allows them to grasp hold of victory.

Everything that was done beforehand was for the sake of that final exchange.

This id what caused the entire audience to become silent.

What kind of mental quality was necessary for one to face such a situation so calmly?

A marching theme began to play loudly.

Numerous sounds of different animals could be heard. All of it was coming from the Skeleton Corps. Even they could not believe that the situation would turn around at the last moment.

This was the most nail-biting battle that they had ever watched. The opponent was just too strong, and the advantage held by him was just too large! However, a god was a god! He would always win!

Numerous individuals were singing the battle anthem of the Skeleton Corps, and it resounded through the audience area.

Another group of audience participants, the ones that were more reasonable, could not help but sigh. This was just inexplicable.

If one's ability to pilot had a limit, then after analyzing both the bigger picture and the details specifically, the conclusion was that this was truly heaven-defying.

Young Deer had spoken way too much. Things were always too volatile, and even his mood had been affected. More recently, he could never feel happy and it was simply a tragedy.

"Uncle Old Deer, the man still lives! You have to believe in miracles!"

Bubbly Foam let out a radiant smile which warmed Old Deer's devastated heart.

Old Deer, who was still in the midst of broadcasting, felt a bit dizzy before he suddenly collapsed.

The broadcasting room burst into a flurry of activity. The ups and downs of the last battle were just too intense. Even the commentator, Old Deer, had been defeated by the excitement. He had immersed himself as Skeleton's opponent and had exerted all of his strength.

The number of VIP members watching reached 800,000, while the number of VVIPs reached 500,000.

This was a heaven-defying number of viewers!

Not long after, the officials released a video analysis.

"Tribute to the Immortal Spirit – Qiangsen!"

Indeed, the opponent was Qiangsen.

He was an individual known for numerous illustrious exploits as a Special Forces member. Although he had left the military, no one forgot his meritorious service.

Although he could no longer serve in the army due to his body's condition, he survived in spirit.

The audience finally understood why Qiangsen was able to win 100% of the time in Lakato. He was truly the Dark Lord.

Then in this case… who was Skeleton?

In this world, who could pilot the Wargod No. 1 and beat an actual military serviceman? What kind of monstrous judgment did he possess?

After that last battle, Skeleton once again proved his godly status by even saluting to the Dark Hunter.

This was the respect soldiers gave to each other!!

There was no angry roaring, no thunderous shouts. All that happened was cold, methodological combat. It was a competition of experience and one's judgment.

Their perception and judgment was truly frightening; they had shocked the vast majority of the audience. The majority of individuals would simply crumble below the pressure due to the environment.

Without relying on auxiliary systems while still possessing deep insight regarding the terrain, it truly caused everyone to feel disappointed at their inferiority.

After this match was publicized, it proved an important lesson. Regardless of who you were, what position you had, however strong your physical ability was, in CT, what mattered most was one's strength in order to gain victory!

"Let us surpass the gods together with Skeleton!"

This was the title of the analysis video released by the Skeleton Corp's chief of staff.

Many female students were currently discussing who among the guys was the most handsome, most muscular, had the most trysts, and other things. On the other hand, those in the male dormitory were currently wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves.

They had no choice but to wail and howl. If not, there was no other way for them to vent the fervour in their hearts.

This was an expert. Those who needed to rely on external equipment were weaklings!

Ye Zisu and the other two girls were looking at each other. Girls would not act the same way as guys. However, the three of them were momentarily stunned.

"Is this guy a human? How could he notice such an object even at that point in time?" Du Qingqing asked blankly. Even if Skeleton had not specifically noticed the stalactite, in the heat of battle, how could someone even split their attention to notice something so obscure?

"He was in control of the situation at all times. This is a necessary requirement of a commander," Ye Zisu said with a sigh. Although it was easy to say it, it was extremely difficult to execute it. In the history of mankind, only those who were exceptional were able to do so.

This was real strength. By being able to grasp the most crucial aspect in the entire situation, this was something that was most easily ignored in a battle.

"This is true talent!" An Mei sincerely exclaimed. "Hehe, even I have become interested in him!"

"Haha, be careful! You don't want Tyrant Su to break up with you!"

"Only if he has balls!" An Mei laughed. The relationship had caused An Mei to become invigorated and she seemed more and more radiant.

It was not wrong to say that a girl who was dating would be at the peak of her beauty.

"I am extremely curious as to who this Skeleton really is. Qiangsen was a true elite of the military. Even though his body suffered an injury, in CT, such an injury should not have affected him," Ye Zisu said. The other two nodded in agreement.

It had to be known that Skeleton was using the Wargod No. 1. It was a fatal gift to the opponent in a battlefield such as Lakato.

Without undergoing harsh training in night combat, one would not be able to adapt to the darkness.

However, this darkness seemed to be child's play. Compared to Bonehead's training, which fully exploited one's deepest, darkest fears, this darkness was considered a blessing.

To adapt so easily?

Once one feels that death is a luxury, to adapt to the situation is not difficult.

To Wang Zheng, meeting such an opponent was his blessing. It had allowed him to realize that all his efforts were not in vain. This was not merely a simple battle; it was a collision of wills!

He could feel his opponent's effort and determination. This allowed him to see the value in his effort and determination as well!

He was not alone!

The military salute was a form of respect for his opponent.

There were no losers here.

Bubbly Foam was truly a little girl. After experiencing such an intense battle, she was so moved that her eyes teared up. Lin Huiyin's NOTAFRAID was also playing in the background. In this world, if one was brave, there would truly be nothing to fear.

In the small town, the net café's patrons had only just found out about Qiangsen's background. They had always just thought that he was an individual who loved to play games and was half blind. Although he had lost, applause rocked the sky. Qiangsen was a true hero!

Bubbly Foam restrained her emotions. Last time, she had forgotten what she was supposed to do, but she would not make the same mistake again today.

"Contestant Skeleton, I represent all of the members when I ask you this question… do you have a girlfriend?" Bubbly Foam's face turned bright red. "Haha, I'm kidding. That was a question I wanted to ask. What the audience really wants to know is if you will continue to use the Wargod No. 1?"

The number of VIP viewers had already approached 800,000, and it was still increasing.

Lin Huiyin was lying on her bed while furiously writing something. Her face even looked as though she had just cried.

She felt that she had become more and more emotional. This was a real battle that demonstrated one's willpower and dedication. This new song would be one about persistence. She did not expect that even this battle would give rise to more inspiration!

That short three seconds before Skeleton replied were no different from three long days. Everyone waited quietly for his answer.

At this moment, right in front of the audience, the screen flashed four words: "Forever Free-to-Play"

Was this… the legendary reply of this super god?!

Solon almost fell out of his chair. He had guessed numerous explanations, but he felt that the most correct one was that only the Wargod No. 1 could allow one to demonstrate superior strength… in the end…

Although not everyone would take this seriously, some of the girls became crazy. Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun had realized that these four words had caused numerous female players to wish to join the Skeleton Corps.

What kind of situation was this?

To the girls, the cold and cool hero was only one that could be observed from a distance. However, a hero that had the sense of hero was someone that was truly perfect.

Meanwhile, the innocent Student Wang was currently thinking about the fight. This battle was very satisfying. The opponent's oppressiveness had forced him to observe the surroundings closely. Even though it did not seem possible to win, there was always a chance for victory. While everyone felt that the Wargod No. 1 was disadvantaged in such terrain, having the belief that one would win was extremely important.

As to that answer… it was truly the truth!

Free-to-Play was the hard truth!

In the Shangri-La Hotel, Aina was currently making a report on her activities. This was something she had to do as a princess. The freedom she had was relative. With regards to her strange request, it was originally rejected by the royal family. However, due to the rules that were in place, they could only reluctantly agree and hope that Aina would still maintain the decorum of a princess.

Although her identity was a secret, as a princess, there were some things that she had to do.

Furthermore, as Aina was the Milky Way Alliance's model princess, the people around here were not as worried. They took it as an opportunity for her to better understand the common man. Especially since Earth was mankind's home planet, it possessed a more fitting atmosphere.

After a long winded hour, she finally finished the report. Although Aina knew that she could finish this week's responsibilities, just thinking of the future gave her a headache. She knew that she was playing with fire. In fact, she was like a moth to a flame, yet she could not control herself.

At this point in time, she truly envied Huiyin. Both of them were princesses, but she could do whatever she pleased; she was able to live her dream as a singer.

However, it was her misfortune to be first in line to the throne.

Perhaps when that little girl came back, she could be placed in a staff position. This cousin of hers was famous for being an evil sprite. She was smarter than Aina when it came to numerous things, and even Aslan did not possess such strict criteria for their heirs. However, being a public figure was not easy. Huiyin had to spend numerous days to convince the royal family to allow her to become a singer. In fact, the royal family was extremely satisfied with her current contributions.

Chapter 66: New Challengers Arise

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Currently, inside Ares College's courtyard, Masasi and friends had already finished their final preparations.

Steel Leg Zhuo stared at the group of people. "I have watched you put in effort as you trained. For tomorrow's battle, I hope that everyone will have no regrets and fight to the best of their abilities!"

"Yes, Sir!"

"Zhang Shan, do you have anything to say?"

"Sorry, Sir, I hope that you can reconsider and let Wang Zheng be our team's reserve. We are lacking reserve members!"

Zhuo Mu was surprised for a brief moment. The student's scores were not bad. However, he had fallen sick on the first day of special training and did not participate in it. Furthermore, the principal had even recommended him just that morning.

"Are you willing to be responsible for your decision?" Zhuo Mu said, as he looked at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan was stunned. Although Wang Zheng's performance at military college was not bad, he had no foundation in it at all.

At this point, Meng Tian suddenly took a step forward. "Reporting, Sir! I would also like to recommend Wang Zheng!"

"Really?" Zhuo Mu hesitated for a moment.

At that point, Masasi also took another step forward and gave a wry smile. "Sir, we are currently lacking one member to act as a reserve. I feel that we should give Student Wang Zheng a chance."

"Masasi, you are the team captain. This matter is up to you. I will respect your decision, so he can be a reserve member."

Zhuo Mu waved his hand and dismissed the group, allowing them to go back and rest.

"Captain, I would like to thank you on behalf of Wang Zheng."

Zhang Shan said. He had never expected Masasi and Meng Tian to recommend Wang Zheng. However, he felt that Wang Zheng fit the Physics Department better.

"Hehe. I heard that Student Wang Zheng has recently made a large contribution in the field of physics. I hope that he will be able strengthen our team."

Masasi was always elegant, typical of a person from the Moon.

To Masasi, he hoped that this opportunity would allow him to gather first hand data. Wang Zheng was also one of the selected candidates. However, his weak constitution was unexpected.

As a soldier, one needed a strong body. If one were to falter at a key time, even if he was extremely strong, it would be useless.

However, the team happened to lack a reserve, and this would give him an opportunity to observe him.

The Tri-College Exchange was about to start. The three principals took turns to give speeches. Although Jamal and Adonis were away from their home turf, they did not act modestly, and they even tyrannically introduced their own colleges and their future goals.

Following them were the student representatives. Ares College sent Masasi. Zeus College sent Lear Cronos. Apollo College sent Campbell.

Masasi's style seemed as lively as spring. Campbell had an aura of tyranny developed from years of prestige.

Lear Cronos was also an unknown youth. Although he seemed to be satisfactory as a representative, his aura was not prevalent, and he had a slightly cold exterior. Like Masasi, he was a freshman student who was a captain.

To Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu, the most important thing was that Lear was currently Yue Jing's boyfriend.

Yan Xiaosu was a gentle person, so he had let bygones be bygones. Now that he had a new life with a new girlfriend, he even hoped that Yue Jing would have a happy life.

The first day was extremely lively. However, it was the start of a nightmare for the students of Ares College.

The first day was a competition of the representatives' physical condition.

There was an obstacle race and a three-target shooting competition.

The competition would take place in Ares College's Glory Stadium.

The first competition was the obstacle race. The entire team had to participate, and the individual results were combined for a final score.

The obstacle race was one kilometer long, and there were rope swings, wall climbing, single plank bridges, hanging nets, and more. It tested a soldier's fitness in every aspect.

The organizers, Ares College, were the first ones to participate. Numerous students were there to show support, and their cheers were earth-shaking. They had a lot of hope for this competition. Everyone was looking forward to their team winning grandly.

As the reserve, Wang Zheng was sitting at the reserve bench and clapping his hands loudly.

Chen Xiu and the beautiful girls were sitting on the first row. Tyrant Su had already bought all kinds of snacks and props. He was a professional.

When Masasi appeared, the entire stadium cheered raucously. After which, the referee introduced each member of the team. When he reached Meng Tian, the cheers were so loud that even the deaf could hear it. The allure of a beautiful lady was clearly significant.

At the Apollo College's team's seats, Lear gave an indifferent look at Meng Tian. Although Meng Tian could feel his gaze, she avoided it.

The competition had started.

Ma Xiao, being an experienced member and also the previous captain, was the first one to act. He was not unfamiliar with such an obstacle race. Although this year was harder, it was not particularly surprising.

3 minutes and 10 seconds was the previous record. Every time Ma Xiao's conquered an obstacle, the crowd would cheer. The cheers also encouraged him, causing him to perform quicker.

His final result was 3 minutes and 19 seconds. He was slower than the record by 9 seconds. However, the difficulty was significantly higher this time. This was definitely a good result, so the entire stadium applauded.

Next was was Jiang Bin's turn. He was slightly weaker and had a time of 3 minutes and 50 seconds, but it was still within 4 minutes, so Jiang Bin received quite a lot of applause.

However, the members of Apollo College and Zeus College already had looks of disdain on their faces. In fact, someone were already laughing.

When Meng Tian appeared, although there were less female members, no one looked down on the females. For a female to appear in a competition, they were definitely much stronger than normal men.

Meng Tian's movements were nimble and agile. They were very efficient with little wasted movements. This had a lot to do with her body size, as her long legs were used perfectly.

3 minutes and 2 seconds. Meng Tian had broken the school record for the previous competition. The applause was so loud. it seemed like the place had exploded. This was well deserved for the school's flower.

After the competition, Meng Tian coldly returned to her previous position.

When Zhang Shan appeared, Student Zhang waved his two hands and tried to hype the audience further. The audience gave face, especially those from the Physics Department; they cheered even louder.

In the end, Zhang Shan took 3 minutes and 9 seconds and had also broken the previous record. This led the males of the Physics Department to feel absolutely shocked.

It was too impressive.

Chen Xiu was jumping around at the side while screaming loudly. It looked as though he was trying to intimidate his opponents.

The last one to appear was Masasi. Everyone wanted to know how well this special genius would perform. Would he truly live up to his name?

The entire stadium was quiet as they awaited Masasi's performance.

Masasi had a result of 2 minutes and 50 seconds. It truly caused the students' passionate cries to flare up!

This was strength!

This was the standard!

This was the strength of Ares College!

When the results came out, everyone was feeling extremely confident, as their performance had improved significantly.

Even the weakest member, Jiang Bin, had managed to maintain the standard and not let the team down.

Next was Campbell's team from Apollo College.

Campbell picked up the microphone and spoke. "Dear students from Ares College. If our performance in the competition gives you a shock, I am extremely sorry. Please face reality."

What was this situation?

The competition had not started, but Campbell had already declared victory.

Apollo College's students had the exact same body physique. It was absolutely the gold standard with those defined muscles they possessed. One look and one could tell that these were model elites.

The first one had a result of 3 minutes and 5 seconds.

The second had a result of 3 minutes and 4 seconds.

The third one had a result of 3 minutes.

The fourth one had a result of 2 minutes and 50 seconds.

Campbell had a result of 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

2 minutes and 30 seconds! This was the ability of Earth's military colleges' number one elite!

The entire stadium had turned quiet. It was just as Campbell had said before the competition. If they felt shocked, he was sorry. This was reality after all!

The truth was that they were too weak!

Even if they had a Masasi, so what?

It looked as though this year would be Apollo's victory.

Following which was Zeus College. Zeus College's strength was not too disparate; it was only a bit weaker than Apollo.

Lear Cronos also had a few words to say. "The waves of today will push away the waves from before. A new group of people will replace the old."

This was a provocation directed towards Campbell.

Over the years, those who wanted to challenge him had only faded with the wind. In the end, only Campbell had remained with a smile on his face.

Zeus College's first member to turn out was a fatty, Luo Fei.

Damn, even someone with such a body could fit into a mech?

Was Zeus College trying to give Ares College some hope?

Very quickly the crowd was silenced.

He was truly a "flying" fatty. He was a high speed meatball. He finished the course in 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

Although he did not break Campbell's record, if the first member had such results, it gave the audience a lot of pressure.

Zeus College's situation was not the same; there were individuals of all shapes and sizes. There was even one who looked like a child. However, all of their results were under 3 minutes.

The last one to appear, Lear, caused everyone to become speechless. He moved like lightning as he weaved through each obstacle without losing speed at all. It looked as though he was extremely familiar with the course. It was as though he was in complete control of both the rhythm and his speed in the race. It was like watching a show.

At the end, he had actually decreased his speed slightly as he slowly took the last three steps across the finishing line. He had taken 2 minutes exactly.

This… demonstration!

Lear stood in the center of the stadium as he quietly looked at everyone. Although he was looking up at the audience members, everyone felt that he was the one observing them.

After refreshing the results, the one who had broken Earth's Tri-College Competition Record looked nonchalant. He could have cleared the course in less than 2 minutes, but he clearly chose not to.

Was it truly considered as a 2 minute record?

This was yet another blow to the confidence of the students of Ares College. The once confident students were now completely silent.

Lear once again looked at Meng Tian, but she looked away. She did not look surprised at the result.

Campbell was also shocked. He never expected to meet such an opponent. However, this was just the start; there would be plenty of opportunities later.

Just because one could run and jump did not mean that they were skilled in every aspect.

Waves had been stirred in the originally not suspenseful competition. It was as though a battle between old and new kings would erupt.

Campbell was the undefeated old emperor. Would this new individual by the name of Lear be able to ascend to the top?

The second competition, shooting.

In this sort of shooting competition, it was not merely just shooting targets. There were numerous people at the side attempting to distract the competitors by making noise. They would also wave their hands to do their best to distract. For the sake of fairness, only the opponents could create trouble for each other.

In such a situation, Ares College's results were even worse. Other than Masasi and Meng Tian, who still had decent results, the rest…

Zhang Shan truly hoped that he could beat up the opponent. That fatty actually went to bed a female in front of him. That bastard truly did not care about face. Even such methods were used.

Chapter 67: Sacrifice in Crisis

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Meng Tian was completely unaffected by the situation. Lear was sitting at the side like a gentleman, quietly observing her. However, her performance was just not as good.

When it was Zeus College's turn, Lear was the only who achieved full points.

Those that interfered with him felt as though they had been slapped across their faces. Lear did not react at all to their moves. Apollo College's students were quite insidious. They had even threatened Lear with knives. Although they were not allowed to harm other competitors, the knife was placed extremely close to the front of his face. Alas, it was of no use…

At that moment, a trace of ridicule flashed across Lear's eyes.

Campbell had only missed three shots and was ranked second.

He could finally feel the stiff competition awaiting him.

After the first day of competition, Ares College was completely relegated to a supporting role. Their performance was absolutely miserable. Jiang Bin had fired 50 shots in the shooting competition but missed 30 of them. He had set a new record for the worst possible performance.

At the end, even if one did not feel ashamed, everyone felt completely disregarded. It had completely turned into Lear and Campbell's fight. Even Masasi's performance only allowed him to take fourth place.

Before the competition, Masasi was the center of attention. Who would have known the result would have been so different?

The talent of the average individual on Earth was terrible. However, the cream of the crop was not at a point where they would be trampled by those from the Moon. From the beginning, Lear and Campbell had never put Masasi in their sights.

So what if he was an elite from the Moon?

The guests from afar did not give the organizer, Ares College, any face. After the two rounds of competition, Ares College was at the bottom for every event, and the disparity between the next place was immense.

There was one person who became famous after one battle, and that was Lear Cronus. He had managed to easily attain first place for both events while breaking existing records. At the same time, he had crushed Campbell underfoot. It was quite stunning. His performance in the competition had caused him to be firmly engraved in the minds of the journalists and military recruitment officers.

Gu Te's face was like the leaves swept away by the autumn wind. He could no longer even smile. Although Xiao Fei's theory had caused a large uproar, it only caused the media to scrutinize the school even more. Although this was supposed to be a good thing, it had ended up causing more trouble than good.

In the face of competition, feelings were unimportant.

What a military college needed was strength.

Everyone was originally cheering for the home team. However, towards the end, everyone felt quite listless, and a third had left because they could no longer bear to watch what was happening. They were being tyrannically oppressed!

Ares College was extremely quiet at night. Zhang Shan was just staring blankly into space. It was too depressing. They originally planned to show off their abilities during the competition but had instead been crushed. If it was not for Masasi's performance salvaging a scrap of respect for their team, they would have completely lost all face.

It could be said that Gu Te's plan for revival had a wrench thrown into it.

"Brother Shan, it's just the first day; there will still be opportunities for a comeback!" Chen Xiu consoled.

Zhang Shan's performance was still acceptable and was in the middle of the pack. Meng Tian also performed comparably. However, the problem was with Ma Xiao and Jiang Bin, who had dragged the team down.

Jiang Bin was, unfortunately, not skilled enough. Although he was considered outstanding during normal occasions, during the heat of the moment, he was unable to keep up. On the other hand, Ma Xiao was about to graduate. Thus, he was not as disciplined in maintaining his training. A single special training session was just not sufficient. Furthermore, Ma Xiao lacked tyrannical confidence for victory. To him, he had already lost three years in a row, and losing once more did not mean much.

Zhang Shan slammed his fist heavily against the table. "Damn it all! That bastard Lear is too arrogant. He does not even consider us an opponent!"

"It's not that he doesn't consider you an opponent, it's just that he doesn't consider anyone to be worthy of his attention. That bastard broke the records for both events in the competition. This is something we are just unable to match up with," Yao Ailun said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Brother Ailun, don't be discouraged. It is at times like these that we have to support Brother Shan even more!" said Chen Xiu.

Yao Ailun stood up and patted Zhang Shan's shoulder. "I have to speak the truth to a brother. There's nothing exciting about this. The opponents are already so strong during the testing phase, can you imagine how ferocious they will be when they are in mecha? That bastard is just too strong. This just feels like adults bullying children."

Zhang Shan was extremely depressed. Before the competition, the instructor said that their current abilities would give them a fighting chance. However, this was in comparison to previous years' standards. Although they had improved, so had the rest.

Wang Zheng did not know what to say. For example, during the shooting competition, it was a competition where one had to shoot under pressure and distractions. Although Zhang Shan was usually quite an accurate shot, in that situation, his performance took a large hit. Compared to the opponents, who performed splendidly, especially Lear, they only showed how skillful they were.

The Skylink sounded. It was Zhuo Mu. Zhang Shan was too embarrassed to face his own instructor.

"Wang Zheng, Instructor Zhuo wants you to come as well."

As a team substitute, Wang Zheng had sat on the bench watching for the entire day. That taste of defeat was a bitter pill to swallow.

In the training room, all the members had arrived. It was completely silent as everyone hung their heads in shame.

Masasi was the only one with an expressionless face. However, he was still the Captain, and his team had lost spectacularly. He did not want to be too eye catching during the competition, but he did not expect the team to perform so badly. Regardless, he was still a member of Ares College, and if he lost too badly, he would lose all his radiance.

Although Meng Tian was still as icy as usual, her gaze held a trace of frustration.

Ma Xiao and Jiang Bin seemed quite nonchalant. They were used to it. It was said that repeated abuse would cause one to become numb, and this wasn't their first time.

After a period of time, the shame would gradually dissipate. This was their home turf after all, and they were still the kings here.

Wang Zheng did not even get the chance to perform today. After a short period of time, Zhuo Mu arrived.

Surprisingly, he was not thundering furiously. Instead, Zhuo Mu looked at the group and sighed.

"Tomorrow will be the last day I will be teaching at Ares College. Being unable to match up to others is not a humiliation. However, giving up after the first defeat is a sign of weakness. Regardless of the results tomorrow, I hope everyone will be able to demonstrate the full extent of their abilities. Don't have any regrets!" Zhuo Mu said calmly. With such results, he could no longer stay on, and dismissing himself was necessary.

Zhang Shan clenched his fist tightly. He could feel that Zhuo Mu was an excellent instructor during the period of training. Zhuo Mu's iron-blooded soldierly demeanor had boosted his morale, but he himself had not worked hard enough.

His gaze swept across the team. Even Ma Xiao felt slightly guilty. On the contrary, Jiang Bin was completely nonchalant.

"Instructor, during yesterday's testing, I injured my leg. I didn't realize it at first, but now it hurts. Can I be excused from tomorrow's competition?" Jiang Bin suddenly said. Everyone's gaze shifted over him. B*ch, what kind of bulls*t injury was he talking about? He was clearly trying to escape.

If it was the previous Zhuo Mu, he would definitely have flown into a rage. However, this time, he seemed unwilling to say anything. "One's path is chosen by oneself. You can go. Wang Zheng, do you want to give it a shot?"

The moment he was excused, Jiang Bin rushed out. For the entire first day, it was as though he was sitting on a pincushion. He had completely lost all face. The second day would only get worse, and he was unwilling to suffer to the end.

Wang Zheng saluted smartly. "Yes!"

His voice was extremely excited. Zhuo Mu stared blankly for a moment before shaking his head. "Kid, you will be using a real mech tomorrow. Are you sure you can do it?"

"Reporting to Instructor! I learned how to pilot a mech when I was at OMG. I think the controls should not be significantly different, and I am unafraid of humiliation!" Wang Zheng said directly.

Zhuo Mu gave him a bitter smile. Being able to pilot a mech and competing in one were two completely different things. The problem was that the competition mecha had been locked up and could not be used. Otherwise, even a few hours of practice on it would be good.

Right now Wang Zheng was the only choice he had, as the team could not be short of any members. Having stage fright was more shameful than losing. If news of this came out, Ares College would lose all respect. If they had lost the discipline of a soldier, such a military college should just close down entirely.

They might as well turn the college into a humanities college.

In fact, some individuals had already suggested doing just that. They would remove the military departments, as it could no longer maintain its status as one of the top three military colleges.

There were numerous colleges waiting for the spot to vacate and to take Ares' place.

Zhuo Mu was in no mood to continue admonishing them. There was no use in it. Although Masasi could perform better, because he was an outsider, he could not fully integrate into the place. It was nonsensical to suggest that he would give his heart and soul in competing for Ares College, and he was already performing excellently.

The students had left, leaving only Zhuo Mu. As he stared at the empty training field, his eyes became a little red. He had too many memories of this place. He wanted to do a lot of things, but in the end, he had accomplished nothing.

It was time for someone else to take his place.

But before that, he would stand proud for his last class.

Gu Te was also extremely depressed. The moment the competition ended, he had received numerous Skylink calls. Some wanted interviews, some wanted to ask questions, and some wanted to express their dissatisfaction.

Losing face was not a problem, but this time it was bad.

At times, the greater the expectations, the greater the sense of disappointment. He had great hopes for his little tricks, but it had brought about even greater disappointment. One had chosen to transfer schools, and while the other one had performed admirably, it was insufficient to restore the school from the brink of defeat. What was even more surprising was that the school's standards had actually dropped.

He did not know how the situation would have developed without Xiao Fei's scientific results. So many years of weakness had finally coalesced and exploded.

The parliament had also organized an emergency meeting. A single principal could not change the situation. Regardless of how brilliant he was, one had to know their limits. Although Gu Te was widely respected in the military and political circles, at this point in time, he should have voluntarily resigned instead of holding on to the end.

Although Xiao Fei's results were great, it would not restore a military college's splendor.

To Gu Te, this was also an extremely tough night. Many times it was harder to hold on than to give up.

On the second day, although the mecha competition was extremely enticing for the students, not even half the stadium was filled. Yesterday's defeat had sunk in deeply, so no one wanted to be further abused today.

Xiao Fei originally wanted to go to the Moon for a meeting on the Moon's Sol Federation's Federal Academy of Science, as her discovery was undoubtedly the most astonishing one of the year.

However, after yesterday's grievous defeat, she and Marcus had put their plans on hold. Regardless of the situation, they were still a part of Ares College.

The moment Xiao Fei appeared, the entire field burst out into applause. Perhaps only Professor Xiao Fei could redeem a shred of the students' dignities.

Zeus and Apollo Colleges' students had also stood up to applaud her. Xiao Fei's discovery had already been verified by the Sol Federation. Although it was being submitted to the Milky Way System for further verification, regardless of the situation, this was something that every student had looked up to.

Chapter 68: Threatening Cheers

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

A string of armored soldiers stormed out from the entrance of the stadium. The crowd could not contain their excitement

The model used for the day was the military college standard Lingyun series WE training mecha.

The competition segment for today involved piloting through obstacle courses, shooting, and the most popular, mecha battles.

To lighten the atmosphere as well as to save a little face for Gu Te, Apollo College led the battle.

This phase of the competition tested the mech warrior's reaction speed as well as agility. After completing the obstacle course, the warrior would have to hit the target within three seconds of entering the region of assault.

After yesterday's mistakes, Campbell was deeply affected. He wanted to perform to his fullest potential in this segment, as it was his forte. Thus, he volunteered to be the first representative.

He was extremely familiar with the Lingyun series WE training mecha. He was also highly ranked in this competitive segment.

The students of Apollo college stood up and cheered upon Campbell's entrance. Upon the command, the WE mech rushed out. The feet of the mech pounded the ground with astounding impacts. Campbell's speedy advance, dodging, leaping, and transitions clearly showed the competence in his technique. This was not a game. Every action resulted in substantial pressure on the human body and would distort the actions of the mech if not controlled well. It was a balance of two different concepts.

At both sides of the stadium, soldiers controlled the laser attacks, which would cause the mech to halt upon contact. Campbell leapt into the sky in an aggressive somersault, successfully dodging the attacks. The crowd roared, and even the students of Ares College were impressed by his stunts.

Campbell successfully landed and slid forward on the mech's knees. Immediately, he took out the laser gun. Bang bang bang.

Bullseye.

The target was destroyed

In a single breath, a perfect run was executed.

Campbell emerged from the pilot seat and then waved to the audience. Beads of perspiration had formed on his forehead, but he was still in full spirits.

Mission complete, 2 minutes 10 seconds.

The other participants of Apollo College that followed all managed to complete their missions in about 3 minutes each, a far cry from Campbell's score.

The total score achieved by Apollo College was 14 minutes 23 seconds.

The two colleges with the best scores would advance into the final round of battle, while the last college would be eliminated from the competition.

As though it was a battle of the fittest, Zeus College too rolled out their best warrior first – Lear.

All eyes had been on this all-around genius, yet little was known about his mecha piloting skills.

"How I wish for him to mess up. A freshman like him should be weaker in this segment," Ma Xiao said.

Mecha control required both time and experience and thus, the freshmen tended to be weaker in this area.

"It is his strongest segment," Meng Tian said. The group stared at him speechlessly

"Cronos Group, PJ, is the largest military weapon supplier on Earth."

Everyone was in a daze. It was no wonder the middle name Cronos sounded familiar. Lear was of a different league altogether.

Lear had already entered the WE Mech. It was a relatively old model that he had stopped playing with when he was a kid.

Upon the gunshot, Lear's mech sprung into action. For an instant, the entire audience was dumbstruck.

This…

Everyone could only see a mech advancing in a straight, undisturbed line at the speed of lighting. The attacks were dodged with high frequency motion as though it was child's play.

No one had even noticed when the laser was fired. The blows were superimposed onto the target in three accurate fires.

1 minute and 45 seconds.

The pilot cabin's door bounced upon. Lear jumped out from the cabin and landed effortlessly on the ground. One could barely tell that he just completed the battle competition, as he looked totally fine.

Ma Xiao and everyone gulped. He was incredible; he definitely exceeded the ability of a normal human.

At this point in time, everyone seemed slightly disheartened. It was no longer an equal playing field.

Campbell maintained a composed face but was feeling worried and fearful deep down. Lear's experience with the mech exceeded his expectations. He could not imagine how one could complete a series of difficult maneuvers so effortlessly.

Masasi, on the other hand, was not dumbfounded. He knew that entering the list meant that one was a legendary existence, and he had set it as his goal.

Lear Cronos was truly using an ox's knife for this simple matter[1].

Lear Cronos' performance hyped up the morale of the Zeus College students. However, it could have been too early to start celebrating. The flying fatty followed behind Lear. He started off very well but messed up towards the end of the obstacle course, as he was trying too hard to show off his skills and did not complete his final attack within the three seconds limit. The punishment was another two minutes added to the score, bringing Zeus College's total score to fifteen minutes.

This was a huge set back, and it sent fists flying into the air for Apollo College. Although they had a lower individual rank, Apollo College's combined score defeated that of Zeus College.

The final battle was to follow. Campbell versus Lear. It was a match between a newcomer and an experienced player.

Campbell glanced at Lear, but Lear appeared disinterested in him as an opponent.

As they passed by Ares College's position, Lear looked at Masasi. "Tell Victor that Earth is my territory and that he should watch himself"

Masasi smiled faintly. "Senior, I hope you can make a trip to the Moon."

"Defeating him is only a matter of time," Lear said, in a calm and natural tone.

Masasi did not contest this statement, as it was not something that was worth arguing over.

Lear turned towards Meng Tian. "You should return if you are done exploring. Do not cause unnecessary trouble."

"Sorry, I do not believe you are that close to me," Meng Tian replied.

"Such a place will just lower your standards." Lear remained nonchalant. His statement must have greatly offended at least half of Ares College's students. However, he still had the skill to back his words up.

After returning to his seat, Lear stared coldly at Luo Fei. That fool had nearly messed everything up. Luo Fei recoiled in fear.

"Lear, you should pay less attention to girls; they do not cherish good guys."

Yue Jing spoke in the gentlest of tones and handed Lear a towel.

Lear ignored her gesture and looked her in the eyes. "I hope your advice works."

"Don't worry, I understand girls."

Yue Jing smiled charmingly. At this moment, she was behaving humbly and switching up the most benevolent side of her.

The last round was for Ares College.

The audience cheered for the home team. Ares College would try to secure the entry to the final round regardless of what might happen.

The first competitor was Ma Xiao with a below average score of 3 minutes 10 seconds.

Masasi followed behind with a close score of two minutes thirty seconds. Frankly speaking, Masasi had not fully adapted to the gravity of Earth. However, given Lear's achievements, it was not a valid excuse. Given that Campbell was the best competitor from Earth, they might have caused others to look down upon the standards of the competitors from Earth.

Meng Tian was up next. Zisu and the other girls formed a line at the railings to cheer for her.

True enough, Meng Tian's performance did not disappoint. She had a total score of 2 minutes 50 seconds. It was score worthy of envy by her fellow comrades. It was obvious that she was very familiar with her mech piloting skills. As an elite female competitor, she was much more flexible in her control compared to her male comrades.

Ares College was starting to see hope in the face of desperation. Zeus College's penalty gave Ares College a chance at entering the finals. Although Ares College may not surpass Apollo's score, it was still possible to defeat Zeus College's score.

All eyes were on Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan was starting to feel the pressure, but it was even worse in the face of hope.

The guys at 007 were anxiously waiting. Yao Ailun drew a cross across his chest. "Dear lord, please bless us till the end, we will win as long as our score is not the lowest. "

Zhang Shan strode forward in his mecha suit. Before he had even traveled ten meters, he was shot down by the first wave of attacks. The impact was heavily felt and his speed immediately declined. It was obvious that Zhang Shan was anxiously fighting against time, but he failed to dodge a second attack. In the end, the mission was successfully completed, but his score was a total of 6 minutes. Sighs traveled across the stadium.

Zhang Shan left the cockpit disappointed, pounding his chest in annoyance.

"It is normal to pay a price for experience, young man. Take it as a lesson learned."

Adonis smiled. To be frank, the results of the first three competitors frightened him. However, once they entered the finals, Lear's competency meant an easy victory. There was no room for mistakes.

Currently, the total score of Ares College was 13 minutes and 13 seconds. This means that the last competitor will have to finish his mission within 1 minute and 30 seconds for Ares to enter the finals.

This in itself was an impossible task!

Zhang Shan's head sunk into his hands. How could he lose his calm at this critical moment, especially after he had been boastful about his abilities?

"Are we still going to compete?" Jamal knew that it did not matter much at this point, as the outcome was almost certain.

"There is still a substitute competitor. To be frank, it doesn't matter now." Adonis felt at ease by the scores.

Even clay people would feel angry, but Gu Te felt extremely disheartened. "Take a look, the substitute competitor is Wang Zheng, whom you guys were extremely curious about."

"Eh, you mean the physics brat?"

"He is also interested in mecha?"

The curiosity of the two principals was stirred.

Zhuo Mu gave Wang Zheng a pat on the back. "You can choose not to compete."

To be embarrassed in front of so many people might lower his self-esteem and affect his future development. Moreover, Wang Zheng had barely gotten any specialized training.

"Sir, I would like to give it a try."

Zhuo Mu nodded. "Go ahead, give it your best shot!"

At the VIP lounge, spectators were exchanging whispers. It was such a pity, but this was fate. No matter how unfortunate, this was life.

At this instant, a clear voice shouted out from the audience. "All the best, Wang Zheng!"

Aina…

The students looked towards the direction of the voice in a daze. A journalist even took a photo with the title "courage in the face of despair" in mind for article.

But this wouldn't change anything.

It was only a substitute player. At this point in time, the audience paid little attention to him.

Another person from the VIP lounge stood up. "Wang Zheng, you rascal, give it your all. If you don't, don't even think about coming to listen at my lectures anymore."

Xiao Fei…

Wang Zheng touched his nose. Who was it that was cheering for him..

He jumped into the mech's cockpit. It felt exactly like his training, but Wang Zheng felt his blood running. He made sure that everything was connected properly and tried to lift an arm and move a foot.

Sigh!

This was too cool. It was actually a real mech. This was what he had been waiting his entire life for.

[1] It's a variation of the saying using an ox's knife to butcher chickens. It means that Lear's actions were just overkill.

Chapter 69: God's Rhythmn

The force exerted when piloting a mech was very comfortable on the muscles. However, it was difficult to implement it in CT and hence could not be felt. To a fighter, enduring this force was another kind of satisfying experience.

As abnormal as it was, this was the spirit of a true soldier.

There were bursts of laments and chatter in the stadium. What was happening? Was it even possible that Ares College had no one left? Why was this kid dawdling about?

Wang Zheng randomly swung the mech's legs. His action looked hilarious, resembling a puppet.

At the end of the day, the commentator was still a member of Ares College and thus was quite forgiving of his actions.

"Seems like Wang Zheng needs to warm up. Since he's the last one to enter the stadium, can everyone give him a round of applause?"

Deep down, however, he wondered if this chap would instead run away from the stadium and oncoming battle…

The stadium resounded with applause.

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu were already covering their eyes.

"F*k, this chap shouldn't act smart if he doesn't know anything. Our 007 Alliance is in jeopardy."

"Tyrant Su, what is wrong with Wang Zheng? Does he know what he is doing? Didn't you say he was skillful?" An Mei asked furiously.

Yan Xiaosu cowered a little. "My brother is passionate, but he didn't have any training previously. Perhaps he will create a miracle…"

Xiaosu's voice was getting softer. He was gradually losing his faith in Wang Zheng.

"Miracle your ass! It is going to be tomorrow's headline news!"

Everyone looked at each other. Some were watching blankly while some seemed to be in dismay. It didn't matter at this point; only with defeat would Ares College find the space and motivation to push for greater heights.

"Wang Zheng, are you ready?" The staff felt that the whole stadium was getting impatient.

Wang Zheng signaled with an "OK" hand sign.

Bang….

A gunshot was fired, the last run had begun!

Wang Zheng's mech engine roared while Campbell and the rest were caught off guard.

He was operating the engines at full capacity. This gutsy guy was not even trying to be careful.

With an explosion, the WE mech charged forward.

The chaotic stadium quieted down in an instant. What on earth was that thing!?

The mech soldier headed for the target in a beeline, totally disregarding the obstacles in his path.

Frequency shifting!

NO!

It was pressure shifting!

It was not a passive usage of frequency shifting but rather the active usage of frequency shifting to redirect the enemies' attacks. The attacks were completely wiped out as they hit empty air.

The roaring WE mech darted into the skies like a rocket. It was unstoppable! To reach the fastest speed, the WE mech did not make any large movements.

But what about the attack?

Time was almost up!

Bang….. Bang….

Only two shots were fired. One more shot was still required.

No matter how accurate they were, three shots were the bare minimum!

However, after the third shot was fired, it was definitely time out.

Bang…

A cold light appeared, hitting the target.

Boom…

Wang Zheng rotated at high speeds for four rounds before steadily halting.

After a split moment of bewilderment, the crowd cheered boisterously.

1 minute 29 seconds!

上帝啊!

My God!

All the students went crazy. At the crucial moment, Zeus College was eliminated from the competition.

Ares College had qualified for the finals!

In order to save the last few seconds, the laser was fired while a titanium knife flew alongside the shots for a distance of 30 meters to accurately hit the target.

When the two actions synergized, it was truly impressive!

Everyone was stunned.

Jamal and Adonis were in dismay. What was happening?

"Honestly, old friend, what was that about? Hiding such a talented student till the last moment."

Jamal laughed. He was truly jealous of Gu Te's capable student.

Not to mention, he was an earthling, a treasure to behold!

The most miserable was Adonis. At the last moment, the ambitious Zeus College was disqualified from the competition.

The teammates gave the fatty an earful.

Fatty burrowed his head underneath his arms while sitting helplessly on a chair. He had made a clown out of himself when he was only trying to put on a good show.

An Mei and the other beauties jumped up in excitement. " Wang Zheng, good job!"

"An Mei, you are pulling my ears? Please be more gentle," Yan Xiaosu said helplessly.

But very quickly, An Mei hugged Tyrant Su and planted a passionate kiss on him. Immediately, Yan Xiaosu grinned from ear to ear.

"Not bad, both of you are still quite reliable!"

Everyone's blood boiled, and they jumped around and threw punches into the air.

At this moment, something deep within everyone was awakened.

No one was born to be willingly stepped over!

Ares College's biggest problem was the lack of leaders!

They lacked people with leadership skills!

Ma Xiao was not qualified to lead, as he was too easy going and lacked ambition. Masasi couldn't be a leader either because was too distant from Ares College. The success or failure of Ares College was of no concern to him.

At this moment, the entire stadium was filled with cheers and applause.

The celebration was only a temporary one. The best had yet to come.

For the final challenge, each of the final two teams had to send one representative to enter a massive battle.

Apollo's team would surely pick Campbell due to his proven track record.

But what about Ares College?

Apollo's choice was clear: Campbell was their ultimate weapon. However, Ares College was having an issue choosing a representative.

In terms of mecha battles, Ma Xiao and Masasi performed the best, mainly because Ma Xiao had years of training and battle experience. While Masasi, on the other hand, was very strong. However, now there was also another element thrown into the mix: Wang Zheng, who appeared out of the blue.

Was it even possible to use a series of high level movements in a mecha battle?!

"It is safer to choose Masasi!"

"I support the decision to choose Masasi. Campbell will definitely crush Ma Xiao."

"Why don't we give Wang Zheng a chance? Just a moment ago, he was able to turn the tide!"

"Uh, having the ability to run fast doesn't mean he is able to fight well, so Masasi is still more reliable."

The students were having discussions of their own. It was unknown when, but the stadium had started to fill up with people. In fact, the whole stadium was starting to get jam-packed.

An unimaginable counter attack had played out at the last moment, and Ares's successful advance into the final battle was unbelievable, so many students had made their way back hastily to watch the rest of the battle.

Many of them had been playing CT. After suffering from such a shock, the battered students went on to CT to find meaning to their existence.

Zhuo Mu also felt that this was not an easy decision to make. "Wang Zheng, do you have any battle experience?"

"Nope, I only operated a mech once during my internship."

In fact, during the OMG internship, he had merely walked a few steps.

Masasi stood up abruptly. "Instructor, at the last moment, it was Wang Zheng who got us into the finals. Personally, I feel that he should be the one to finish the last battle."

Masasi volunteering to step back helped to hasten the decision process.

Wang Zheng himself felt nonchalant about the representation

In fact, Zhuo Mu thought the same. Masasi was indeed very talented, but winning or losing had little impact on him.

"It is decided. Wang Zheng shall be the one to represent Ares College. Wang Zheng, you have been given a chance to fight in the last battle, make good use of this opportunity. It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just fight for the sake of Ares."

Zhuo Mu gave Wang Zheng a hard slap on his shoulders to motivate him.

Campbell was already ready. He hoped that his opponent was Wang Zheng. It was surprising to not reveal such a talented soldier until the very end.

The crowd went crazy with cheers when Wang Zheng stood up from the players' seats. Although no one had high expectations, they cheered for him in encouragement.

Failing was not as scary as being seen as a coward.

The Zeus College students were feeling indignant. On the other hand, Fatty was still the attention of the crowd. Lear had calmed himself down and was looking forward to the battle.

Wang Zheng entered the mech's cockpit. He touched the screen window lightly and the external view was clear and distinct. The innovative touch system allowed a human to communicate with the mech to bring out its fullest potential.

Finally, he was going to battle.

"Wang Zheng, do not be nervous. Although Campbell's right hand skills are very impressive, you still have to be wary of his left hand.

"He is left-handed and possesses immense power in his left hand."

Although Zhuo Mu did not know if the information would be useful, he was still trying to fulfill the responsibility of being an instructor.

Wang Zheng paid no attention to these things. The outside world had vanished. He was focused and only knew that at long last, he was able to pilot a mech in a live battle.

The competition began with a resounding cheer.

The moment the titanium knife was held up, the stadium was filled with tension and excitement.

Humans are indeed strange lifeforms. The instinct to fight is deeply embedded in their genetic makeup.

The two mecha flew straight at each other. Bang….

A huge shockwave was created upon impact. Compared to CT, this was on a whole new level. During a CT fight, the body would not be able to feel the shockwave. However, the real-life collision caused the muscles to tighten, and the impact was felt throughout the human body.

Campbell immediately noticed that the opponent was not accustomed to the pressure and that his control was very weak.

The titanium knife dazzled under the sunlight as it lunged towards Wang Zheng. Campbell was known for being observant of the little details; he could immediately identify the opponent's capabilities and react accordingly.

This moment would allow him to show the world his potential and to pave a way for his future military prospects.

Campbell's WE mech jumped around the whole stadium. He had a thorough understanding of mecha fight. On the other hand, Wang Zheng only had the ability to pilot the mech but had not yet been defeated at this point.

The whole stadium cheered continuously, while Aina sat quietly, supporting her chin with both hands while looking at Wang Zheng battle. She knew that Wang Zheng's performance in CT was extraordinary, but how would he fare in reality?

Some people could be a God in a virtual world yet in reality were too afraid, unable to transfer their CT experiences to real life.

Aina believed that Wang Zheng was not that sort of a person, as Wang Zheng had previously saved her life.

Although he was in a disadvantageous situation, the Ares College students' cheering never weakened. It was all the students could do to give him strength.

Zhang Shan followed suit and waved his fists, forgetting about the previous setback.

"Wang Zheng, take control of the engine, withstand his assault! Get through this round and he is useless!"

Although Campbell's attacks were ferocious, Wang Zheng's staggered defense was not too shabby either. Of course, Campbell chose to perform spectacularly instead of merely trying to win. Winning was not an issue for him. His priority now was to leave a chance for the higher-ups to study his abilities comprehensively.

Little did he know that Wang Zheng's muscles were slowly familiarizing with and adapting to the battle techniques he used.

Bang…

A titanium knife stab disrupted Campbell's attention, then his WE mech staggered backwards and came to a halt

With this, the whole stadium cheered even louder. Wang Zheng knew that it was time for a counter attack.

Report chapter

Campbell was stunned by his opponent's strength to withstand his mech's attack.

Wang Zheng took the chance to rush forward while Campbell was still wondering what had happened.

He immediately executed a jump slash!

Bang….

When a mech leaps forward ferociously, its armor is placed under severe pressure. In CT, movements can be made easily, but in actual battle, it requires a tremendous amount of strength to do so. Simple movements are, therefore, the way to go, unless you are able to destroy the enemy in a single strike.

Bang…

Campbell had held the initiative for the whole fight, but that last ferocious strike by Wang Zheng caused him to lose his momentum for the first time in the competition. He immediately utilized a skillful kick to the side to restore his balance.

Both of the fighters kept attacking each other with no rest in between

Bang….

Campbell's mech swung to the left side as he was struck by Wang Zheng. Just as he was about to retaliate, an arcing light sliced towards him.

Bang…

They were exchanging blows with their titanium knives aggressively. Sparks were flying everywhere. After blocking a strong attack, Campbell realised that he could not afford to look down upon his opponent, Wang Zheng.

But it was too late.

A direct attack was about to hit him.

Crack!

Campbell's WE mech took a direct hit and staggered backwards a few steps. The last hit caused his mech's energy to decrease by one third. Considering how the last round of crazy attacks against Wang Zheng had only depleted Wang Zheng's mech's energy level by one fifth, he was clearly in a disadvantageous position.

Wang Zheng did not follow up with an attack but instead stabilized his mech soilder and stood there quietly.

The last strike by Wang Zheng had demonstrated his complete metamorphosis into a mech pilot. Perhaps not many of the people felt it, but to Wang Zheng, it was akin to the transformation of a butterfly from a caterpillar.

He could do it!

He was strong and almighty!

On the other hand, Campbell was feeling listless. Holding the titanium knife in his left hand, he was determined not to let it happen again.

Campbell's mech's shoulders drooped a little and he activated the engines again to signify the anger he held within him.

The audience could feel their hearts clench as they could feel the anger Campbell possessed.

Campbell's mech approached Wang Zheng thunderously with a totally different state of mind. Campbell was being serious this time round.

Campbell's mech treaded forward strategically, consistently weaving in and out and making it difficult to determine his attack pattern.

Bang….

His titanium knife swung towards Wang Zheng with tyrannical force. Three consecutive strikes were dished out.

With just three strikes, he was placed in an advantageous position. However, the real battle was yet to begin.

Campbell did not stop after three strikes. He continued attacking while holding his breath. This time, four streaks of light arced towards Wang Zheng.

One slash… Two slashes… Three slashes… Four slashes….

Campbell was unable to appease his own anger as he continued on with the attacks. This type of strategy would deplete an average soldier's stamina rapidly. But in Campbell's case, he was able to do so because his opponents, more often than not, ran out of stamina before he did.

His confidence came from his unrelenting amount of training every day, as well as his self-confidence!

Bang bang bang…

Another three slashes were directed at Wang Zheng… Wang Zheng's mech was under a high amount of pressure and was about to crumble. Most importantly, although he was able to withstand the attacks, the mech's energy was depleted by half.

Eighth slash!

Bang….

Wang Zheng's mech soldier suffered a direct blow. Both Wang Zheng and Campbell's mecha were left with less than 50 percent of their energy. It was a battle of attrition.

Campbell did not seemed to be tired at all. He dished out another slash towards Wang Zheng in a straightforward manner.

The closest target was the pilot's seat. It could be extremely intimidating to witness the attack up front.

This was Campbell's signature Nine Lightning Strikes. It was unstoppable; no one could withstand it.

However, Wang Zheng's mech responded quickly and managed to retreat safely.

This defensive move required a high level of control by the mech pilot and an ability to work with inertia.

But at this distance…

Would he even be able to dodge?

Direct attacks were the most efficient and effective but also the easiest to identify.

The distance was perfect, and according to the speed of the attack, this final slash was bound to miss.

Was Campbell's signature Nine Lightning Strikes' unstoppable record about to be stopped?

No one understood more than Campbell that Wang Zheng was about to dodge the attack at this distance.

But he was Apollo military college's representative, Campbell!

Campbell's mech palpitated and unimaginably advanced forward for a second round of attacks, breaking through his own physical limit!

He had his target locked on, and he did not have to hide his attacks anymore

Tenth slash!

This was Campbell, an unrelenting champion who was always striving for self-improvement.

The 10th slash dazzled the inspectors, as they originally wanted to see Campbell's performance improving!

This was exactly what they had wanted.

A warrior that possessed immense talent and an unrelenting heart for self-improvement.

Bang…

The whole stadium was in shock. They were confused that Campbell's inexplicable follow up slash did not strike the target.

Wang Zheng's WE mech's right hand held onto Campbell's mech's left wrist tightly.

At this moment of desperation, how was he able to think of such a defensive tactic?

Even if he could, was his body fast enough to respond?

Zhang Shan was already drenched in sweat, and he was so nervous that he almost died when he saw Wang Zheng grapple with Campbell!

Wang Zheng exerted the mech's full power and wrenched strongly. Campbell, who was already unable to control his mech, was pulled along by Wang Zheng's sheer force. Taking advantage of the force of momentum, Wang Zheng dodged sideways, and Campbell's attack hit empty air. His mech had even lost its balance!

The two mech soldiers intertwined, and at this moment, Wang Zheng's backhand-gripped knife swung towards him!

A silver arc sliced towards Campbell.

Bang…

The mech's armor activated emergency deceleration as the defensive shield collapsed.

Both mecha stopped simultaneously. Everyone held their breaths, trying to digest what had just happened.

The hatch for the pilot cockpit opened abruptly and Campbell escaped before the mech's head detached from the its body.

Sparks flew in all directions…

The whole stadium was very quiet. The WE was a model developed specifically for practice. When the energy shield was completely depleted, it would activate an emergency mechanism that deactivated both dueling mechs. Evidently, even the system did not expect Wang Zheng's final strike.

During that final clash, Wang Zheng's backhanded attack was actually three slashes executed at a high speed.

Wang Zheng's unrelenting wrist and finger strength training had produced this minor technique.

In this battle, it was truly a critical move. It was nearly impossible to estimate the amount of damage that it had caused.

"Wang Zheng from Ares College has emerged as the victor!"

When the judges announced the result, all of the students in the stadium jumped and cheered joyously.

It was a play completely going against normal expectations!

Jamal stood up and approached Gu Te to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, perhaps Ares College has a chance to witness the rise of an extraordinary warrior."

"Thank you."

Gu Te finally came to his senses. Not even in his dreams would he had expected this spectacular result for today's competition.

"Old friend, you are being too petty. Not letting your best soldier fight till the final crucial moment, that isn't good." Adonis laughed.

"Haha, old friend, Lear will be the future genius. We look forward to the future battles between them!"

Both of them knew that with Campbell's graduation coming up, the new generation belonged to Ares College and Zeus College.

Adonis was feeling regretful. The stage was originally set up for Lear to perform, as no one was a match for him. But due to the lack of opportunity and luck, Wang Zheng took the stage and became the main actor.

However, this was good news to Lear. He was too powerful, so strong that he could not find an opponent of the same standard. This was an obstruction to allow him to meet stronger opponents and grow.

There would be many future opportunities for the two to fight.

Perhaps Wang Zheng could be the one to revive Ares College and bring it back to an era of glory.

Wang Zheng had been praised and hailed by countless of people.

Today, Wang Zheng was the hero of Ares College!

He had made a name for the age-old college and infused new life into it.

Amidst the crowd, Masasi faintly smiled at Lear as they exchanged glances with each other. It was a subtle agreement that something interesting was going to happen.

Masasi had completed his mission. Lear was definitely almighty and had a perfect character. Never once was he angry at his teammates when they made mistakes. Moreover, another target had been found – Wang Zheng.

They were the twin Gemini of Earth.

It was created with reference to the solar system. However, who was the real king of the star?

Masasi had only one king in his heart – Akerloose Victor!

For many years, Ares College had never tasted victory, so there was a huge celebration, and it was livelier than any other celebration in years.

Although Wang Zheng was the main actor, Ma Xiao, Masasi, Meng Tian, and Zhang Shan had played important roles as well. This was a team effort. Without them, they could not have achieved today's result.

After this battle, Meng Tian was acclaimed to be the goddess of war, a well-deserved title for a beauty.

All Wang Zheng wanted was to spend the rest of the time alone with Aina, but it was impossible with his sudden achievements.

Wang Zheng was the key person of the event. He was constantly praised and surrounded by people.

Away from the crowd, Aina grinned, as she was happy for Wang Zheng. Moreover, she believed that Wang Zheng would become even better and finally realize his dreams.

After all, it was inevitable that she would eventually leave his side.

Every girl dreamed of being in a relationship with someone she loved. Romance did not have to have an ending, and this was especially true for Aina's case.

She mustered up her courage and confidently withheld her own emotions. From a young age she was taught to control her feelings. It was part of her upbringing as the next queen to put her nation's interests first.

On the battlefield, Wang Zheng was brave and invincible. Yet now, Wang Zheng was looking around helplessly for Aina. She knew that he was looking for her, but she wanted him to enjoy the taste of victory that he earned.

Outside of the school, a seemingly normal, black car appeared out of nowhere.

"Your highness, are you planning to go back so early tonight?"

Aina quietly nodded. Sometimes she imagined what it would feel like to be a normal person, doing the things that she liked, being her rebellious self, and enjoying life.

Sadly, for a princess, self-indulgence was considered a luxury.

"Astonished? Meng Tian and Wang Zheng are too fitting as a couple. They are similar to a prince and a princess in fairy tales!" An Mei said.

It was wise of Principal Gu Te to organize a banquet. Although he was old, he was not old fashioned. Ares College's students needed a break to fully enjoy their victory.

Yan Xiaosu curled his lips. In his mind, he was thinking "what a pity," as his boss was already in love with a real princess.

"What kind of look was that? Aina may be pretty and has good qualities, but what use is it? Not that I am biased, but personally, I feel that she will not stay with Wang Zheng for long. Moreover, she is very mysterious. Speaking of which, where is she now?"

What Mei said was so right to the point that Xiaosu was left speechless.

No one understood Wang Zheng better than Xiaosu. Wang Zheng had this stubborn character, and it was the same when it came to his passion for mecha, as well as his friendships. He was too happy and forgot about Aina's status.

Was it still possible?

There was still a chance. After all, he had read so many romantic fairytales since he was young. Yet somehow, Xiaosu felt that he was deceiving himself.

"See, I knew it! As his brother, you should advise Wang Zheng. Both Meng Tian and Zisu come from very good backgrounds. Even though I am not totally sure about Meng Tian, her household is not like yours or mine. Not to mention Zisu is OMG's little princess. At this age, Wang Zheng should do something to make his dreams a reality. Although he has now proven his capabilities, he is still lacking in standing…"

What An Mei said was the truth.

"Haha, An Mei, can we keep our innocent feelings?"

"Childish!" An Mei rolled her eyes at Xiaosu.

"Well, is the reason you like me because of the fact that I am …" Tyrant Su looked hurt. An Mei glared at Xiaosu. "So you think you are rich? Calling you a tycoon is a compliment! Hmph!"

Xiaosu broke into laughter. "I know my Meimei is the best. Don't worry, I will definitely become a true tycoon!" An Mei pointed a delicate finger onto Xiaosu's forehead, "Have some ambition! I want to become a rich young lady."

"Alright, a tycoon it is," Xiaosu determinedly said.

The dance followed after the banquet. The girls were already leaving the stadium to prepare themselves for the latter event, and the students from Zeus and Apollo College were going to arrive shortly after. As the host, as well as the overall champion, Ares College had to showcase its glory and hospitality.

Everyone from Ares College was in high spirits and definitely more passionate than usual. It was rumored that someone had even spontaneously thanked Luo Fei, the fatty. This ending would not have been possible without him!

Even though Lear was unable to take part in the final battle, everyone had witnessed his capabilities. He had not performed to his fullest potential, and luck was not on his side, but without doubt, his future opponent would inevitably be Wang Zheng.

The Physics Department took center stage and was in the limelight, especially Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. The two guys who were usually sidelined were suddenly the hottest topic. This was accompanied by Professor Xiao Fei's research results, which further propelled the department into the attention of the masses.

It was very likely that the alliance would be pumping more funds into the Physics Department. Ares College would not only enjoy greater research materials but resources as well, further strengthening the college's reputation and competency.

This was truly a call for celebration for Ares College.

Gu Te's social standing and reputation were reinforced. With these two extraordinary results, the media was bound to be full of compliments and praises. There was a clear 180 degree shift from the previous opinions propagated by the media. What would appear on the headlines? Would it only be talk about 'perseverance' and 'battle tactics'?

It was bound to be one of those familiar, over-used terminologies.

Gu Te was not a man easily moved by praise; it was change that made him happy. Ares College was a nest, and it was his goal to attract a golden phoenix.

A person's strength was limited, but one was capable of change. For a student who had entered Ares college, his talent and standards were definitely unquestionable.

Zhuo Mu retained his job after Wang Zheng's sudden breakthrough saved the battle. Although Zhuo Mu's teaching style was not lacking, what he needed was an elite student.

Zhuo Mu felt guilty, as he did not contribute much to the achievements of the night. However, what Gu Te said remained etched on his mind. If he had not let Wang Zheng represent the school, Ares College would not have won.

This required the impeccable judgment of a capable instructor, and at times, this ability was of paramount importance.

Sounds of awe resonated around the banquet hall. The beautiful ladies had finally made their grand appearance.

At the same time, the students of Zeus College and Apollo College entered the hall. It was clear that the black suit would forever be a classic.

Despite not winning, Campbell looked regretful rather than disappointed. It was part of a warrior's duty to withstand failure.

Lear's entrance enchanted everyone. His sharply tailored suit brought out his handsome features and lean body. An elegant aura surrounded him, making him stand out from the crowd. Every small action reflected composure and graciousness.

He had even caught the attention of numerous female students of Ares College.

"I've got to say, that guy is really handsome despite his coldness."

"That's what makes him cool!"

Quite a few ladies were already lining up for a chance to dance with him

Yue Jing appeared in a white gown. Exquisite diamond earrings hung from her earlobes, and a pink diamond globe hung on her chest. Much attention and time was also paid to her hair. She must have prepared for this moment for a long time. Ares College was her territory, and it was now her time to shine.

Yue Jing lightly linked arms with Lear and leaned her mouth towards his ear. Lear frowned. "To deal with girls is to make her jealous. Only by doing that will she see your charm."

Lear turned around and headed for another direction. It seemed like Meng Tian was still not there.

Their families were well connected with each other, and they were arranged to be wed in the future. Although Lear felt that such a fact was normal, Meng Tian clearly felt the opposite way. She had her own dreams and life plans.

Lear and Yue Jing were, without a doubt, the trophy couple, and they had all the attention.

Yue Jing looked as proud as a white swan as he swirled around the crowd. Meng Tian must have had been blind to reject such a fine young man. It was an opportunity that she would not miss.

To conquer a man was to ignite his desire for her.

Campbell had a crowd of fans surrounding him. Although he was defeated, he was still a very honorable soldier who was held in high regards. His realm of experience had not vanished into thin air.

Masasi and gang were then welcomed with applause in celebration of their victory.

Wang Zheng finally found Aina's silhouette amidst the crowd. He suddenly thought of her identity, and for her sake, in a public event, he had to maintain a low profile.

Meng Tian and Zisu appeared together. The two beauties immediately attracted the attention of countless admirers. Meng Tian was cold and prideful like a snow lotus. Zisu, on the other hand, was likened to a gentle, slim and elegant water fairy.

They both possessed two clearly contrasting styles, their beauty mesmerizing scores of admirers.

Wang Zheng possessed a variety of skills and was diligent. Unfortunately, dancing was just not his forte. Everyone else appeared to be comfortable with social events, even Zhang Shan, who was usually as rough as a bull.

Xiaosu and An Mei were present too. An Mei looked around. "How is our hero without a dance partner? Where is Shishi?"

Wang Zheng laughed. "She does not like events like this."

"Oh, right. Nonetheless, our hero should not be left out. Sorry, I am already with Tyrant Su, so you've got to take care of yourself." An Mei blinked her eyes innocently.

Xiaosu immediately pointed at the two stars who had walked in previously. "Boss, Meimei is mine. We might be best buddies, but I can't lend you my partner. Choose one of the two ladies over there!"

Wang Zheng laughed bitterly. "You are really asking for it. I'm not really interested; you guys can go ahead and enjoy yourselves."

He headed towards the balcony alone. Many of his peers were already in romantic relationships, yet Wang Zheng preferred his freedom. The college seemed very vibrant with these random social events.

Wang Zheng only wanted to gather his brothers for a drink and to count the stars in the night sky.

"This Wang Zheng is really stubborn. There's nothing more you can ask of Shishi. She might be beautiful on the outside, but she is way too introverted. How can she not accompany her boyfriend? Wang Zheng should just break up with her…"

An Mei felt infuriated. They had Wang Zheng to thank for the celebration, as he was the one who turned the tide and led them to a miraculous victory.

As his girlfriend, how could she ditch him at such an important event?

She seemed more like a village girl than someone from Aslan.

"Meimei, don't spout nonsense. Everyone has different preferences.. I myself am not a fan of social events either."

An Mei glared at Xiaosu. "Liar! You spent the entire afternoon preparing for this. You even prepared a new suit especially for this, even that Milky Way pin…. You didn't even think of getting one for Wang Zheng.."

Xiaosu cried out innocently, "What? Like I said, you don't understand Wang Zheng…. He does not care about frivolous things like that… he might even beat me if I interfere too much."

As the hero of the night, Wang Zheng should indeed have dressed up better for the occasion. How could he not cherish this moment?

As roommates, Chen Xiu and Ailun were already fishing for targets around the main hall. These four geniuses were truly from a legendary dormitory. Two of them had already created legends for themselves.

Everyone was in a great mood and were in their best form. The soft light accompanied by the elaborate decorations and celebratory atmosphere made it a night to remember for the youths.

Upon Meng Tian's appearance, Lear immediately ditched Yue Jing. Yue Jing stood awkwardly at her position.

Zisu came to her rescue for the sake of their long friendship. Yue Jing, however, walked past Zisu and completely disregarded her presence. She hated Wang Zheng and everyone around him, even if it was her old friend.

"Lear, what's going on between us is only because of our families' well wishes. I believe you are not one to pay attention to tradition," Meng Tian said bluntly.

Lear broke into a faint smile. "Not that I mind, but you are one of the most genuine girls I know. Why do you not consider me as a partner? Are there any parts of me that you particularly dislike?"

Meng Tian was stunned by Lear's response. Frankly speaking, Lear was flawless. Without doubt, he was an ambitious and far-sighted young man, and he was a gentleman. He was clear about his future prospects with all his life plans laid out. He definitely had a bright future in front of him. He was bound to be a successful man.

Chapter 72: Slowly

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Meng Tian had never really thought about this issue. After giving it a second thought, she was still unable to determine what was so irritating about him.

When Lear saw Meng Tian's hesitation, his laughter became brighter. The laughter originated from his honesty and confidence. Although Yue Jing was very pretty, her beauty did not pique Lear's love interest at all.

Not only was Meng Tian pretty, she had an aura that attracted him spiritually.

It was the kind of aura that could only be emitted by innocent and earnest people.

"We are of similar status, so why don't we try dating instead of wasting the prime time of our lives?"

It was obviously a serious idea, but Lear spoke in a calm tone. Even if it was a casual date, he was very serious and careful about choosing his partner. He would rather be single than to date someone he did not like.

He was being a perfectionist about it.

Meng Tian shook her head. "You are looking for a perfect robot. Perhaps that explains why I dislike you. We are imperfect as human beings. Moreover, I already have a target."

Lear was in shock. "You're kidding me, right? That is not the Meng Tian I know. I think you can see the situation quite clearly. You don't have to resort to this to distance ourselves from each other. This is not in your character!"

"If you really understand me, then you should know that I am not lying and that I disdain liars."

"This is impossible… in such a place, no one deserves to be with you. Not even Masasi; he is Victor's subordinate."

Lear was in disbelief.

"It doesn't matter who it is. Most importantly, that person is not you. Have fun in Beijing, my friend."

Meng Tian smiled. She, like Lear, rarely smiled, so it was especially enchanting when either of them smiled.

At this point, he believed that Meng Tian was not lying. Clearly Meng Tian fancied someone who was stronger than she was. But in this barren land, was it even possible to find someone stronger than her?

Definitely no one!

Lear believed that Meng Tian would like a person who excelled in all aspects, be it appearance, emotions, or skills.

But the Asia Region was one of the weaker regions and hence no one in Asia could match Meng Tian.

Ye Zisu pardoned herself from numerous acquaintances and finally found Wang Zheng.

"What is our hero doing alone here?"

Ye Zisu took two champagne bottles from a waiter's hand.

Wang Zheng stopped daydreaming and laughed. "I'm not really used to this kind of situation."

He took the champagne and took a sip. "Thank you, but I still prefer beer to this."

If it were anybody else, there would have been a huge commotion about it. How could anyone treat a beautiful lady with such disrespect and uncouthness? Ye Zisu, on the other hand, appreciated his straightforwardness and upfront nature.

"Actually I don't really fancy champagne either … I am just pretending to be sophisticated. She could not be here?"

Ye Zisu was very clear that Aina had to maintain a low profile to lower the risk of exposing her identity and jeopardising her quiet life.

Such was life. In many situations one had to make tough decisions.

Comparing Ye Zisu's situation to Aina's, one had to live in a world where she had to live under a secondary identity. She did not belong in Wang Zheng's world; what could possibly become of them?

"Today's moon is beautiful. As a friend and an old acquaintance, I cannot leave you here alone. Let friendship be your partner tonight."

Ye Zisu raised Wang Zheng's arm lightly.

Wang Zheng laughed. "I don't really know how to dance. Let the others have the dance floor."

"That is not possible. The party will commence only after the main lead paves the way," Ye Zisu said.

"Zisu, I should be more suitable to be his dance partner than yours, right?"

Meng Tian appeared on the neglected balcony, and under the moonlight, she looked especially elegant. With her tall, slender figure coupled with a white dress, she could easily put any other girl to shame.

After all, this banquet was a place to showcase her beauty .

However, Ye Zisu was not showing any weakness. "You should take care of your friend from far away."

"Lear is a thing of the past. Wang Zheng, do you still remember the last time you promised to help? Now is the time to fulfill that promise," Meng Tian said.

Wang Zheng was at a loss. He could not remember what the promise was. All of a sudden, he finally remembered. It was during a training session at the MMA club that he promised Meng Tian this favour.

"Yes, I remember. So, what now?"

"Since your girlfriend is not here, I need your help to block someone."

Meng Tian glanced at the hall.

Wang Zheng grazed his nose. He was to be a shield?

"Are you afraid?" Meng Tian asked. "Relax, I will explain the situation to your girlfriend."

Wang Zheng shook his head and smiled. "There is no need to explain. What I promised, I will definitely fulfill. She will understand."

Meng Tian was clueless, but Ye Zisu was very clear about it. Ye Zisu did not understand how Wang Zheng was so bold and confident to not offend the little princess.

There were five people acting sneakily at the corner of the balcony.

"F*ck, Wang Zheng is my idol!" Chen Xiu was too envious to say anything else.

"Tch, why is Zisu and Meng Tian so obsessed with Wang Zheng? Other than fighting, what else is he good at? Is he really so charming!?"

An Mei was disgusted.

"Keke, Meimei, please avoid big boss at all costs. That guy is extremely scary; he conquers both males and females alike. Even I was once deceived by him."

The audience looked in disgust as An Mei knocked Yan Xiaosu's head. "Don't be annoying. That guy isn't Meng Tian's ideal kind of guy. Why is he acting all profound at this young age as though he has a history?"

"It's nothing. Wang Zheng seems to be more lively nowadays," Chen Xiu said blankly.

"Xiao Xiu, sometimes it is better to keep quiet than to say the wrong thing. Qing Qing, am I fortunate enough to dance with you?"!

Student Ailun spoke elegantly. This fellow had definitely dressed up for the occasion. It was a huge difference compared to his usual self of wearing long, baggy pants while shouting at the computer screen.

Du Qingqing smiled. "Of course, and I thought I was going to be lonely tonight."

Chen Xiu was petrified. He was the only one left without a partner. He should have voiced it out earlier. GOD!

"So this is where our hero hid, enjoying the women by himself."

Campbell smiled as he approached them with a wineglass with a nonchalant demeanor.

"Congratulations, Wang Zheng."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Wang Zheng laughed and raised his wineglass and gave him a toast.

"Never did I expect to meet two skillful soldiers right before my graduation. You guys are the future of the Earth Federation!" Campbell said. The other skillful soldier ought to be Lear.

"Senior, are you going to join the Solar System Federal Army?"

Campbell smiled and nodded. "Originally, I planned to end the competition with a victory, but I ended up losing to you. However, it was not so bad, as the defeat gave me a wake-up call."

It has to be said that is was pretty admirable for the three to stay so humble about their achievements and yet so accepting of their failures.

"I was just lucky to have won the competition. Senior Campbell, do you have any suggestions for improvement?" Wang Zheng asked.

Although Wang Zheng won the competition, it did not mean that he was strong. Wang Zheng knew that Campbell was not any weaker than him in terms of any of the other aspects.

"Based on Lear's and your performance, both of you should be able to enter the Solar System's "A" competition. There is hope for the Earth Federation to win the competition, as both of you are stronger than me."

A? Wang Zheng was bewildered.

Campbell didn't explain. "There is always someone stronger than you out there in the world. Masasi, who was a subordinate to Victor, used less than 50% of his strength in this competition. Sooner or later, you will run into him."

"Victor….Do you mean…?" Meng Tian was stunned for a moment.

"Haha, you are right. He is the Holy Knight Victor. He is a perfect soldier, and he is currently in his 2nd year. He is the most fearsome soldier I have ever met."

Wang Zheng smiled. "Senior, life is more interesting when there are challenges."

For a moment, Campbell was stunned, but he forced a smile. He used to be like that, one who liked challenges. It was ordinary for people to seek challenges, hence there was no need to dwell on this issue. The fastest route to maturity was to constantly challenge oneself.

But Campbell was surprised that the confident man standing in front of him had managed to reach such a height.

In the near future, Lieutenant General Campbell wrote about how he remembered the first time he had met Wang Zheng. He thought that what he saw in his eyes was the shadow of a confident, frivolous youth. But over the years, time told him otherwise….

"Let's welcome our hero from the Physics Department, Student Wang Zheng!"

As the emcee, Zhang Shan shouted at the top of his voice in the hall while waving his arms excitedly, passionately inviting him onto the stage.

Wang Zheng's performance managed to salvage even his mistakes. Even till now, he could not believe that they had won!

Yet the truth was that they did it!

Meng Tian and Ye Zisu smiled and exchanged glances, neither making any concession to one another as they walked in.

Wang Zheng had a choice to select who he wanted to be with, and neither of them wanted to retreat.

"Tyrant Su, why are you fidgeting!?"

An Mei frowned.

"F*ck, I am worried about Boss, as it's his first time in this situation. Is he nervous? Most importantly, he doesn't even know how to dance!"

Irritated, Yan Xiaosu replied. Wang Zheng had to be the one to commence the dance. Any other excuses would be deemed as cowardly.

The two of them were nobodies in middle school, but when they reached college, Wang Zheng improved so quickly that Tyrant Su did not have a chance to adapt to the situation and make use of the opportunities.

"Our hero, please say a few words." Zhang Shan handed the mic over to Wang Zheng.

The ballroom quietened down as everyone gazed upon Wang Zheng. It was a completely different pressure that he had to face. Some people enjoyed fighting, while others enjoyed being the center of attention. Yet not many people enjoyed both, especially in the beginning.

Wang Zheng did not seem to be nervous, but Yan Xiaosu was extremely nervous. He was extraordinarily mute in a situation where he would normally be spouting rubbish. Speaking of which, the last time Yan Xiaosu was this nervous was when they had a class meeting to talk about their dreams and he was on the verge of stammering.

On the other hand, Wang Zheng was not nervous but seemingly had nothing much to say. He was prepared to speak a few sentences before giving way to the next speaker, but at the corner of the ballroom, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

Although she was very far away, her appearance lit up Wang Zheng's life.

To Wang Zheng's surprise, she came. They gazed at each other across the ballroom. Although it was a rare occurrence for them to meet, meeting again felt like a dream.

"I don't know what the future entails. I even believe that I might be dreaming right now. However, at this moment I want to thank you for brightening up my world, and I will always remember you, my princess."

Wang Zheng's voice was magnetic as he spoke. To him, this was the first time in his life that he had spoken his heartfelt words. After escaping the cube, Wang Zheng had always felt that he did not know the danger and mysteries of life. He wasn't as strong as he appeared to be, and perhaps he was still lost between reality and his dreams. Yet Aina appeared and saved him.

The audience was dumbfounded. They thought that Wang Zheng was about to give his victory speech or to praise other things. No one would have thought it would be a confession.

No one would have guessed that Wang Zheng was such a romantic person!

Everyone turned their heads following Wang Zheng's gaze…..

Chapter 73: A Dormitory Love Affair

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Everyone was blown away by the girl they saw standing by the door.

How could there be such a beautiful and elegant girl in this world? Although one could see the moon from the door, the moon was exceptionally round today, and the stars were sparkling. However, these were nothing in comparison to the beauty of the lady.

Aina smiled as they approached each other.

"Haha, let us welcome the prince and the princess of tonight's party to lead us for the first dance. Music please!"

"Damn, this boy may look nerdy, but he really has his ways to get into a girl's pants!" Zhang Shan roared.

Wang Zheng did not know how to dance. However, Aina was a professional, and all Wang Zheng needed to do was to follow her feet's movements. Wang Zheng could do this easily, and they followed the rhythm as they danced along.

Pong!

Yue Jing's cup fell off the table. "This… this cannot be possible. Definitely not.."

Although she did not recognise her from the start, under this kind of scenario and situation, especially that line when the word 'princess' was mentioned, Yue Jing suddenly remembered everything.

But how could it possibly be her?

They belonged to different worlds. Their fates should have run parallel to each other they should have never met again. Was this a coincidence?

Or an accident?

Was this the work of God?

Yue Jing stumbled and fell backwards onto her chair. Wasn't that the guy who was isolated in school? She remembered the time where she clearly said that typical guys like him could be found anywhere and there was absolutely nothing special about him.

"Damn, I thought you said Wang Zheng didn't know how to dance." Yao Ailun smirked. "He is a professional!"

"Tyrant Su, this kid is clearly talented. Did you guys just scheme to trick me or something?"

An Mei gave Yan Xiaosu a stern stare.

Yan raised his hands in a hurry, "Oh no, my dear, I definitely don't know him. We are just acquaintances! I am not very familiar with him!"

Tyrant Su instantly tried to draw clear lines between Wang Zheng and himself.

Everyone slowly made their entrance onto the dance floor. The couple was still in the middle of the dance floor, oblivious to anyone around them.

Meng Tian took a glance at Ye Zisu. As a matter of fact, both she and Lear had strong personalities, and they did not give up easily. However, Meng Tian knew that Ye Zisu did not have this kind of personality. Compared to someone who grew up in a military family, Ye Zisu did not seem to be able to handle such a tragedy.

However, Ye Zisu seemed as calm as water. Although she seemed a little sad, it wasn't due to the Wang Zheng dancing with Aina.

"Do you know something?" Meng Tian asked.

Ye Zisu felt briefly stunned for a moment before she realised that Meng Tian possessed an analytical stare. She smiled and replied, "Don't you think this scene is very beautiful?"

Meng Tian nodded. "Ye Zisu, exactly. That's why I feel that this is a bit unrealistic."

Meng Tian had always been confident. No matter who she faced, she had the advantage over them. Although Ye Zisu was an outstanding girl, Meng Tian was still better in several other aspects. However, it was different for the girl in the middle of the dance floor. She seemed to be able to attract everyone's attention naturally. This was her innate talent.

Meng Tian had come across a lot of people that were full of poise and standing, but none of them could have matched this girl. At that tender age of hers, it was unbelievable.

This was something that she genuinely possessed.

Meng Tian would definitely not give way were it any other person. She was not this sort of person. However, for this girl right in front of her, it seemed to be committing a crime to spoil such a pleasant atmosphere.

"We live to enjoy ourselves! Meimei, let's go up and dance!"

Yan Xiaosu suddenly realised that he was thinking too much. So long as Wang Zheng was happy, why not leave him be?

He was an abnormal person, and this was an abnormal event, but everything worked out!

As the crowd partied on, Wang Zheng held Aina's hands as they ran out of the lobby.

After escaping the chaotic dance floor, they finally had the world to themselves.

Wang Zheng had fallen head over heels for Aina. Aina's heart palpitated as a faint, red mark slowly appeared on her smooth, white neck.

"So, will the prince kiss the princess at this moment?"

Aina seemed to be extraordinarily beautiful and extraordinarily gallant tonight!

Yue Jing had been searching for opportunities to talk to Wang Zheng. Finally, an opportunity arose when Aina left for a brief moment. She immediately struck up a conversation with him.

"Hey, I didn't expect you change so much after starting college! You truly are a handsome fellow. Congratulations!"

Yue Jing put on her most attractive smile. She knew that guys were greedy creatures. Prior to her arrival, she had chosen a low cut dress to display her assets. This was not something that any boy could handle. Under the streetlight, her breasts were at the rim of escaping from her dress.

She was definitely experienced in what she was doing.

"Thank you." Wang Zheng replied politely and calmly. He had no common ground with Yue Jing, and she was the type he would rather stay away from, so he kept things short.

"Ares College has deteriorated, as you know. You should consider joining Zeus College instead. You will be able to get the best incentives and benefits there. Moreover, I could have a buddy to spend time with. Never did I expect you to be so outstanding!"

Yue Jing's demeanour and outfit truly brought out the feminine side of her. She looked irresistible and charming.

Wang Zheng smiled. "I think Ares College suits me the most. My partner is here as well. I beg your pardon."

As Yue Jing saw Aina approaching, she suddenly tilted her body and pretended to lean forward towards Wang Zheng. There were many ways to deal with girls!

She was trying to create miscommunication between the couple.

Wang Zheng reacted quickly and turned his body. As a result, Yue Jing missed her shot and leaned into empty air. As a result, she fell into the celebratory cake. With an embarrassed look on her face, she picked herself up. Her entire body was stained with cake from head to toe.

Who said that people would save pretty girls? Wang Zheng and Aina giggled and left.

Wang Zheng was extremely aware of Yue Jing from the beginning. She was never up to something good.

Under the moonlight, a pair of shadowy figures snuck into the boys' dormitory. Everyone was out partying at this time, so there was no one around, not even the management officials.

This was a first for Aina. Ever since she came to Earth, she did things that she could never have imagined before. And now she was in the male dormitory in the middle of the night!

Wang Zheng slammed the door behind him as he caressed Aina's face. They were so close together that they could feel each other's breathing.

Aina's lips opened slowly. What else could be more tempting than this?

It was said that the moonlight was able to stimulate one's hormones. Both of them were in love, and neither could restrain themselves. Wang Zheng took another step forward and as he caressed Aina's skin. This feeling was like the world to him.

Her dress was finally unbuttoned. Wang Zheng was amazed by everything that was in front of him.

He knew that beauty existed on this planet, yet her beauty was just otherworldly. It was so perfect that he was out of breath.

Aina closed her eyes and bit her lips. She was ready for everything that was about to come.

Wang Zheng slowly hugged Aina tightly. Suddenly, an electric wave shocked Wang Zheng and he fell off.

Aina's wristband had sent out a strong electric current. Despite Wang Zheng being physically strong, he was still caught off guard.

Aina hurried over and helped Wang Zheng to stand up. "Are you alright?" she asked cheekily.

"I forgot about it, sorry."

The defence system was very well built; the current was enough to shock one person unconscious. Fortunately, Wang Zheng was physically strong, so it was just a mild shock for him.

"I think God was jealous, and that was his punishment." Wang Zheng laughed.

Seeing that Wang Zheng was able to crack jokes, his condition was alright. Aina continued, "So, shall we continue?"

Wang Zheng was alarmed by the response, but he quickly agreed to it.

He hugged and carried Aina onto the bed. Gradually, even the brave Aina was slowly subdued by him.

"Give me an unforgettable night." Aina closed her eyes slowly.

Wang Zheng slowly kissed her eyebrows. He was alert after the electrocution just now. He was clear about what all this meant to Aina and the burdens she had to carry. Perhaps this was something that even she could not imagine.

As Wang Zheng slowly and gently caressed her beautiful skin, he made up his mind to leave a love bite on her. Every so often, from between Aina's lips, a moan would leak out as her body trembled slightly. It was both a pleasurable and nervous experience.

As Wang Zheng was in the process of completing this monumental project, his passion gradually subsided. It must have been that damned Bonehead. The training was too thoroughly ingrained into him.

Wang Zheng continued hugging Aina.

Aina slowly opened her eyes. "What happened?"

"Silly girl," Wang Zheng caressed her face as he said, "You should be a little more selfish."

"What about you?" Aina asked. She believed that Wang Zheng was the only person in the world who could possibly reject her.

"I have already left my mark on you. You will always be mine!" Wang Zheng spoke softly.

Wang Zheng felt like he was on cloud nine on this warm night. He felt as though he was ascending through the clouds in joy.

Aina then fell asleep. Her posture was still elegant even then.

Wang Zheng couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't stop thinking about the possibilities. With his abilities, it was still possible to become a prince. He should give Aina a good future and not let her handle any stress and pressure.

Wang Zheng slowly fell asleep. There were no dreams; even the evil Bonehead did not bring him any nightmares.

Pong!

"I can't open the door. Xiao Xiu, did you get the wrong key?"

" That can't be right! We are at 007. Are you drunk?"

Chen Xiu swiped the card again. The both of them had drank so much that they couldn't stand straight.

Wang Zheng opened his eyes. He felt that his arm was sore. Aina was awake too.

They looked at each other and suddenly, they were shocked awake. This was not good!

This time, they would definitely get a heavy punishment.

"Brother Shan, glad that you came. The door is broken and we can't open it no matter how many times we try!"

"Is it locked from the inside?" Zhang Shan was sober.

"I don't think so, there isn't anyone inside."

"Stay clear, let me kick it open," Zhang said as he rolled up his sleeves.

Yao Ailun shook his head as he replied, "Now I seriously doubt that you are a Physics Major. We can go and find the management and this will all be resolved."

Chapter 74: I Am Skeleton

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Where can I find a toilet at this hour? I need to go to the washroom fast, it's urgent!" Zhang Shan gave Ailun a stern look.

The dormitory suddenly became chaotic. The dress from yesterday was definitely not in a wearable condition. Wang Zheng rummaged through his own set of sportswear to pick one for Aina.

"Oh, shut up! How long has it been since I fell asleep?" Wang Zheng yelled at the top of his voice.

"Faster! I can't hold it in any longer!"

"Coming! Stop shouting, let me put some clothes on properly."

Wang Zheng opened the door. Zhang Shan rushed into the washroom. Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun helped each other as they fell onto their bed.

"I'm never gonna drink so much again. The world is spinning." Chen Xiu shook his head. "Ailun, could you shift there a little, you're sitting on me."

Wang Zheng blocked the two's sight and Aina snuck out of the dormitory. After which they gave each other a V hand sign.

After closing the door, Wang Zheng walked Aina out. As they left the male dormitory, Aina's face was blushing.

It was definitely because of the alcohol. She would not be so daring otherwise.

Although nothing happened between the two of them, their feelings for each other had developed further. What was more important was that Aina was confident that Wang Zheng was the man she was waiting for.

They didn't say anything to each other. Aina then gave Wang Zheng a morning kiss.

As Aina left, Wang Zheng smiled to himself. Now he wouldn't be able to fall asleep anymore. "Time for some exercise," he thought to himself. "I can't live my life sluggishly anymore."

It was 6am when Wang Zheng finished his run. He could continue with his morning training after taking a bath.

As he opened the dormitory door, Wang Zheng got a shock. There were three men standing behind the door waiting for him.

Zhang Shan got hold of him first and ordered him to sit down.

In the middle of the room was a small stool.

Yao Ailun was clearly sober now. He pushed his spectacles upwards as he spoke. "We are all individuals who believe in democracy. If you are honest with us, we will let you off. If you decide not to, we will go the hard way. Do you understand?"

"Are you guys drunk? Say what you've got to say, I need to go for my morning exercise." Wang Zheng took a glance at Aina's dress in the cupboard hoping that no one had seen it.

"Brother Zheng, on the contrary, we are very sober," Chen Xiu said.

"Xiao Xiu, cut the crap. Let us do our job," Zhang Shan said. "Wang Zheng, as comrades in the same situation, you ought to share any new developments you have had with the girl. So tell us, what did you do yesterday night?"

Wang Zheng was caught off guard. "I slept?"

In this era, you had to know how to act ignorant. If you didn't, then you truly were ignorant.

"Hah! You still want to lie to us? There is the smell of perfume in the room. Don't tell me it's yours?"

"It could have been during the dance that some perfumed scent got onto me." Wang Zheng coughed.

"So how long do you think this scent will last? And how do you explain this. This pair of delicate earrings? Who do they belong to?"

Yao Ailun showed him some earrings in the form of a water droplets.

Damn, Aina must have carelessly dropped this here.

Wang Zheng went for a closer look. "Oh, maybe this was accidentally hooked onto my clothes or something…"

"Damn you, it's so hard to get you to answer. You won't just comfort the rest of us with the truth? Was it Wang Shishi?"

"I don't understand how such a beautiful girl could fall for you!"

Zhang Shan hugged Wang Zheng as he spoke in excitement.

"Yeah, this Ms. Shishi is so mysterious. She doesn't stay on campus, and we don't see her often too." Chen Xiu said.

"And this is not all! You know that earring over there? I just went to check its value. It is a Chanel Milky Way Galaxy limited edition piece. There's are only three pieces, all made of Pegasus Hall icy crystals, each selling at 13 million dollars!"

Yao Ailun was a mini encyclopedia. Indeed he was truly the all-knowing godly Ailun!

Zhang Shan and Chen Xiu were alarmed. "This small trinket is so valuable?"

"Nothing you guys would know about! Even if you had the money, you couldn't buy this!" Yao Ailun rolled his eyes at them.

Wang Zheng fumbled with the earring in his hands. "How could this small trinket be worth so much? Maybe it could just be a replica. You guys are just making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Wang Zheng, please blow into this pair of earrings," Yao Ailun said. "Give it a strong blow."

Wang Zheng was curious too. He blew gently into the earrings, and to his surprise, a rainbow formed around them.

"F*k, man, this is the real deal! There were rumors saying that when the earrings get in contact with water vapor, a rainbow will form. This is real icy crystal diamond!"

Even Yao Ailun was in shock.

"Brother, you are my idol. Did you guys …"

The three of them looked at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng felt that if he stayed, he would be interrogated forever. He grabbed his bag and said, "I'm leaving first; you guys can continue. Don't think too much, and nothing happened!"

"Hey! This isn't right!"

"This is not scientific!"

"Why haven't I turned 18?!"

A weird groaning sound could be heard from Dormitory 007. It was like a wolf which had yet to fulfil its desires.

Wang Zheng got to the gym of the MMA club only to realise that someone was one step ahead of him.

Meng Tian was already training, executing continuous kicks against a block. She stopped and wiped her sweat off as she saw Wang Zheng walking in.

"Don't tell me you stayed up all night," Wang Zheng asked.

Meng Tian glanced at Wang Zheng. "I always sleep and wake up at a fixed hour. I think it was you who didn't sleep the whole night, right? Someone was on a date with no time to care about the rest."

"I'm sorry. I didn't manage to help out with your problem yesterday…" coughed Wang Zheng.

"It's alright. You actually helped out. I told Lear that I like you, so that means he won't bother me anymore. Your days will be tougher from now on, I guess."

Meng Tian blinked sheepishly.

Wang Zheng could feel himself drenched in cold sweat.

"You must be careful. Lear is a very powerful opponent. Until now there has yet to be anyone he can't defeat."

Wang Zheng smiled. "I like to challenge strong opponents. But if he can't win consistently, then isn't it a waste of time for you?"

Meng Tian was alarmed by what Wang Zheng said. "How could he…?"

"I will be awaiting your triumph. Come, let's train for a while more."

"Sure!"

Wang Zheng equipped his armguards. Bonehead always said that professionals were the ones who could withstand beatings!

There was something waiting for Aina when she returned to the Shangri-la.

It was heavily guarded. The Prime Minister of Aslan, Kashawan, appeared on the screen.

"Aina, you disobeyed the rules of the outing. Your holiday is over."

The surrounding guards lowered their heads. They didn't have a choice either. They needed to report what the princess did truthfully. The facts that she didn't return the previous night and had even removed the antenna were considered to be serious matters.

Aina was Aslan's top symbol of royalty. She was perfect and pure, with not a single defect.

"Aunt, Huiyin is arriving soon. Can't I go back together with her?" Aina said coquettishly. She had expected this to come but not so soon.

Kashawan sighed. "Aina, we are at a very special point in the time of our dynasty. You possess immense responsibility. This is a decision by the royal council. I have helped you cover up a lot of things. You do know that if this information spreads out, things will get messy, right? I can't cover that up too."

Aina was stunned. She nodded in silence. "Kashawan, yes, I know now."

"Princess, your Highness, you uphold the pride and honour of Aslan!"

Kashawan, although known as the Iron Lady, was still a lady as well. She understood Aina's situation and was crystal clear about it. A similar event had happened to her as well. Time would eventually heal all wounds, this was the truth.

"I really wish that I was just born an ordinary person!"

"Aina, being oblivious and giving in are both inappropriate ways to deal with this issue. If you want to decide you own fate, you have to become stronger. Go and rule the empire!"

Kashawan did not know how well Aina could perform. She would rather point out a clear direction for Aina to pursue instead of allowing Aina to continue being rebellious. However, the truth was that no one had ever done it before.

Wang Zheng sat quietly in the classroom. Aina did not come today.

Aina had once said that when she leaves, she would leave quietly.

As he looked out of the windows, everything seemed so bright. Was it truly time to give up?

There was no such phrase in Wang Zheng's dictionary.

Was his only purpose to be a super soldier?

Wang Zheng used to train to be a super soldier just for the sake of being one, but now he had a new goal in mind!

The first few days when Aina wasn't around, all Wang Zheng did was attend lessons and training. He needed some time to adapt and think.

Yan Xiaosu seemed to have discovered something. Some things were bound to happen. As a brother, he thought it would be best to let Wang Zheng understand the reality of the situation. Things would only get more hurtful as time passed.

Yan Xiaosu accompanied Wang Zheng every day. He even attended the physics lecture which Wang Zheng was in, although he couldn't understand anything.

During Wang Zheng's training sessions, he would squat at the side with a towel and water all ready.

There were no redundant lines between them. Yan Xiaosu understood Wang Zheng. There wasn't a need to say anything else.

"Yan Xiaosu, what have you been doing these few days? Come here, now!" An Mei was angry. Him having disappeared for three days was something she could not accept.

"Meimei, I have something going on. Please give me some time," Yan Xiaosu said. The issue about Wang Zheng was not to be spread around. He loved to hear rumors, but this was one thing he did not spread.

"Tyrant Su, how daring of you! It is either you roll over now and give me a proper explanation, or I will break up with you!" shouted An Mei.

This guy used to be timid. Now he had even dared to challenge her authority. The nerve of him!

"Stop nagging. Go walk it off! Do whatever you want," Xiaosu snapped.

He turned off his Skylink as Wang Zheng completed his training.

Wang Zheng smiled. "I am just trying to get over this situation. Why are you quarrelling with Meimei? You should go and explain the situation to her properly."

"Damn, women are like clothes, but bros are for life!"

Yan Xiaosu slammed his chest. Tyrant Su had always been easy-going, but when things crossed his bottom-line, he would be firmer than anyone else.

Back in the dorm, An Mei was flabbergasted. She couldn't believe Yan Xiaosu would actually hang up on her.

Only Ye Zisu sensed that something was amiss. "Meimei, you must have wrongly accused Yan Xiaosu. He is definitely together with Wang Zheng."

"So what? Why doesn't he tell me anything then!?"

"Sometimes as a girl, you cannot be overly attached. Men have their dignity and bottom-line too. Yan Xiaosu's personality is really quite good as is," Ye Zisu said. She was very clear about the friendship between the two of them. It was impossible for Yan Xiaosu to neglect Wang Zheng at this point in time.

As they walked out of the training room, Yan Xiaosu raised his head to the sky. "What shall we do tonight? Don't go back and study. The three clowns in your room are boring people too. Let's go drink!"

Wang Zheng shook his head. "I want to play some CT and to challenge myself."

Yan Xiaosu was stunned for a moment and replied sarcastically, "Ahh, that's weird. You seem addicted to this recently. You mean that at your level of skill, you enjoy getting destroyed by other players?"

Wang Zheng smiled helplessly. "Actually…"

Yan Xiaosu patted Wang Zheng's back. "Sure, no problem. Let me bring you around tonight. Heck, whatever happens, let me show you what I've got!"

"I am Skeleton!"

"You are Skeleton? What Skeleton? What are you talking about… what did you say?"

Yan Xiaosu's eyeballs almost dropped out as he looked at Wang Zheng. Skeleton… Skeleton…

"You are Skeleton?" Tyrant Su leaped up in shock, jumping almost fifty centimeters off the ground.

"My God, is there anything more surprising than this?!"

As the night went on, the constant snarling sounds of wolves alarmed a pool of mandarin ducks…

Chapter 75: God's Magnificent Act

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Ever since Yan Xiaosu was young, he had always admired Wang Zheng, perhaps due to his excellent school work. This resulted in him believing Wang Zheng could achieve something big. But as time passed, reality sunk in. The genetic test scores had indeed impacted the both of them. Although it was not entirely crippling, it had destroyed the dream they once had.

But God was a good director. When Wang Zheng hit the lowest point of his life, Aina appeared. Not only that, during military training and the intense competition, lady luck was always in Wang Zheng's favor. Although it seemed to be just a stroke of luck, Yan Xiaosu was convinced that an inexplicable strength was growing inside of him.

But none of it mattered when Wang Zheng's real identity was revealed. It was absolutely shocking. Winning or losing a single game did not have any impact anymore because what mattered the most was the display of his strength.

Perhaps this illusion was not really an illusion after all.

Wang Zheng was not surprised that Aina had left hurriedly and quietly. And as a matter of fact, he wasn't feeling down in these past couple of days. On the contrary, he was feeling thankful. Because in this relationship, Aina was the one contributing and bearing most of the responsibilities.

As a man, to despair and be remorseful was not Wang Zheng's style. Regardless if there was a future or not, he would work hard and not let anyone belittle him, or else it would be an insult to Aina's decision of choosing him as her lover.

Yan Xiaosu stared with his eyes wide open. His eyes had never opened so wide before.

Yan Xiaosu covered his mouth in shock when Skeleton's ID was revealed. Tyrant Su recalled letting Wang Zheng play for the first time. He was there just to fill up the numbers. However, that was when he had signed up with the ID "Skeleton."

Although he had thought it was a coincidence, in this world, things were bound to happen behind the facade of a coincidence.

Wang Zheng grinned. "If you are surprised at such a small matter, how will you be able to handle bigger tasks in the future?"

"Bigger tasks?" Yan Xiaosu was stunned.

"Sometimes, even though something only has a one percent or less chance of happening, giving your best shot might allow you to achieve 100 percent of the results."

Wang Zheng laughed. He was powerful, and perhaps there was someone out there who was stronger than him, but he was not afraid!

Yan Xiaosu scratched his head. "Boss, can we converse in simpler and more straightforward terms?"

"Originally, the battles were just for fun. But now there seems to be a way to earn our capital back. I will let you negotiate with CT regarding future compensation. This is your forte."

"F*k, why haven't I thought about it? I am so stupid!" Yan Xiaosu smacked his own head. He immediately came up with lots of ideas when money was mentioned.

This would definitely bring in huge revenue!

As long as Wang Zheng kept winning, they would be rich!

It looked as though the situation with Aina had provoked and motivated Wang Zheng. It was just that Yan Xiaosu had a different train of thought about it.

"This is only on one condition: keep it a secret. I do not wish for this to affect my school activities," Wang Zheng said.

Yan Xiaosu raised his arm and pressed his finger to his lips. "Relax, Boss, your decision is rather brilliant. Being a CT superstar in military school is not necessarily a good thing either."

In the military school, there was a large group of people who opposed the idea of these unsavory activities. Of course, they supported the idea on the surface, but as their power got stronger and stronger, their ability to influence the outcome became greater.

Skeleton Corp's Internal Military Affairs.

The addition of a new member had caused a huge commotion. He was the opponent of the last battle, also known as the King of Darkness, Qiangsen Duoma. People who knew Qiangsen Duoma's story gained even more respect for what he had done.

No one expected Qiangsen to join the corp. Ever since Rainbow had joined, people seemed to have their own unique stories to tell. This made the members of Skeleton military corp brim with liveliness and happiness.

It was Qiangsen's first appearance ever since he joined the Skeleton military corp. He mainly came because he thought Skeleton would turn up too. However, Skeleton was nowhere to be found. In a matter of minutes, he was surrounded by the members, and an endless amount of praise and worship streamed in.

Although he was the loser, Qiangsen had won numerous amounts of respect from the people. His performance in the battle had reached an extreme level. Not to mention the fact that he was physically impaired, he had amblyopia.

Rainbow appeared. He knew what happened to Qiangsen. Based on his investigation, Qiangsen was a highly skilled fighter from the special forces. In that particular mission, he was responsible for bringing up the rear, but an accident happened. This had left him with an incurable injury

In Rainbow's opinion, it was not impossible to heal the injury. It was just that the cost was too expensive, and the bureaucratic nonsense for medical claims had not been changed since ancient times. However, most importantly, no matter the outcome, Qiangsen's determination was unflinching, and he continued to persevere.

As a soldier, Rainbow was in utter admiration of Qiangsen's determination.

The world was unfair. Complaints and cowardice were signs of weakness.

"Qiangsen, tell us more about your battle experience and your feelings about it. Among all of us, you were the closest to victory," Rainbow said.

Below, someone talked to Qiangsen about Rainbow's situation.

Qiangsen grinned. Unlike Qiangsen, Rainbow was the representative of the new generation.

"When the battle was over, I spent the whole night thinking. In all honesty, I probably had a few chances to turn the tide of the battle. If I had grabbed onto one of the chances, I would have probably won the battle," Qiangsen said.

People were having discussions below once he finished. In that battle, Qiangsen indeed tried to suppress Skeleton and maintain dominance in the situation. However, the superiority Skeleton possessed was clear.

"But in the morning, when my mind was sober, I knew that from the beginning till the end, I had not a single chance."

Qiangsen laughed.

Skeleton's military corp had more than 50,000 members. It felt more like a chat group than a clan. It did not matter to Chen Xiu because they had no other purpose.

Qiangsen's words silenced everyone. On the battlefield, Qiangsen controlled the situation very well. Even the best Wargod No. 1 pilot could barely withstand his assault. If not for the terrain, he would be finished.

Chen Xiu then asked a question on behalf of everyone as Qiangsen laughed and replied, "Rainbow, when it comes to this, you should be able to understand."

The loss was attributed to the map. Rainbow nodded. "I can understand why, but I still can't believe it. I'm sorry, but I went to investigate your profile and found out that in dark environments, CT can bring forth 90% of your true strength. I can't believe that such a person exists."

Qiangsen laughed. "I can't believe it myself, that is why I came."

"Red Cabbage Sister, stop trying to be so profound. Say something that all of us can understand!" Yao Ailun shouted.

"Yeah, you don't have to be profound, because we don't understand either!"

"In the end what happened? Who doesn't exist?"

Rainbow wryly smiled. "It requires strict and rigorous training to be able to adapt to the dark environment. I repeatedly studied the fighting procedures and had some doubts about it. In the beginning, Wargod No. 1's movements were not coherent, indicating that Skeleton was not used to such an environment. Even if it was his first time, he adapted to it rather quickly. This shows that he had previously undergone training in this aspect, or perhaps he is just talented."

Qiangsen shook his head. "He was definitely well trained. No matter how talented one can be, he or she has to go through some sort of training to bring forth their full potential in darkness. Though blindness, my heart is transparent. In fact, when I was in the dark, I was able to exert 110% of my strength. But a man with good eyes will not achieve the same result I had when facing the darkness."

The military corp's activity area was full of people. They were all fascinated by the discussion.

"So what's your conclusion?" Chen Xiu asked.

Rainbow smiled. "It is precisely because we can't come up with a conclusion that we are so obsessed with identifying this pilot. He, who is able to fulfill the conditions for fighting impeccably in darkness while being able to fight with the best fighters around the world. It is definitely not going to be boring."

"On Earth, there are only a handful of them who can compete with me. It is impossible to be any of them." Qiangsen added.

"No, it will not be the few fighters that you mentioned earlier on. Surely everyone remembers the interview with Bubbly Foam. His answer was definitely not that of an older person," Yao Ailun abruptly said. Student Ailun was extremely passionate about the details.

This kind of deadpan humor seemed to be created by a young kid with an eccentric character.

"I agree with your opinion. During the battle, I realized that he had a strong foundation and reacted very well in actual combat. However, he lacked combat experience. He seemed to be acting like a new fighter, building one's battle experience," Qiangsen said.

Rainbow clapped his hands. "I had this feeling too, and that is the scariest part!"

"It's just that this kind of training is a little extreme. Nevertheless, the Wargod No.1 has a lot of flaws and limitations. Some of the flaws can't be overcome by his other skills. He is putting himself in a desperate position. He may be brave, but it is a difficult position to be in."

Qiangsen had mixed feelings towards it.

"That's right, it may be a form of training. But at the same time, it could also be a form of self reflection. It could possibly be a route to become a God, but it could also be….."

Yao Ailun said, "But until that day, I will continue to wait for you!"

"Me too!"

"Me too. F*ck it, so what if I'm blindly following? I will just believe in you, and this is how it is!"

"Me too, let Young Deer go to hell!"

"Either live a cowardly life, or fight for all of eternity!"

The larger the world, the more people feared the world, and their desire for miracles grew larger and larger.

Why did the human race desire to take risks in this unknown star filled with death? Despite the risk, the adventurers would still risk everything to explore it, because everyone believed and yearned for miracles.

In the Brothers Net Cafe, Yan Xiaosu was just watching on. Yet he did not say a word and just kept waving his fists.

"Boss, you ought to look at this."

Wang Zheng laughed. "You are competent enough."

Wang Zheng was not in a rush to find an opponent. In fact, CT had a big capacity to enable various targeted training methods, i.e. shooting, movement, and multiple terrain adaptation. Wang Zheng didn't mind training in CT, but today was just not suitable for fighting. As Bonehead once said, his heart was not at peace.

Yan Xiaosu had joined the chat. He had found something more fun than fighting. He was accompanying the crowd in their fervor.

With the emergence of high-end mecha, it would be accompanied with various targeted equipment for the pilots.

For example, Wang Zheng had encountered a magnetic storm field in the past, and it had caused him nothing but trouble. However, mecha could now nullify such an attack with special equipment. This was just one of the functions. Not to mention there was also magnetic thunder, and it could harness the potential environmental effects as a weapon. With the addition of these new few features on the high-end mecha, it became more complex to control them; better coordination and higher skill sets were required.

Speaking from a highly skilled pilot's point of view, the novice level was simply rough and brainless. While at the master level, everyone who was competing to become the king required superior knowledge. This included an ability to take control of the situation, to be knowledgeable about all kinds of weapons, and most importantly, tactical coordination.

For 1 versus 1 matches, the pilot had to be more knowledgeable in terms of mecha and their different kinds of weapons in order to stay ahead of the opponent.

… Student Wang Zheng didn't give much thought about it. The last time he encountered the magnetic storm, a strange idea occurred to him.

The laser, when fired, if accelerated or run through a force field, would be able to produce a wonderful reaction.

Chapter 76: It's Been Two Years, Bonehead

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng had the sudden desire to train, so he entered a training room, and after selecting the Wargod No. 1 mech, he started his training session.

The focus required would help him to forget about his problems.

Everyone was waiting anxiously as they continued to observe the situation. At this point, Skeleton had entered the training zone. The training zone was made especially for beginners, so it barely provided any value for more experienced players.

"No way, what is Skeleton doing in the training room? How can he possibly get any benefit out of it?"

"The training room only allows you to better understand mecha and their equipment. There's nothing difficult about that."

"I have no idea. I really want to know what he's doing in there. Too bad that it's enclosed."

Everyone was engrossed in their conversations, except Yan Xiaosu. Even Xiaosu was feeling impatient. He removed the physical interface and scratched his head…

Wang Zheng was training the accuracy of his attacks. His shooting techniques looked strange; it was as though he was out to make a fool of himself.

His mech's movements were very queer. He kept shaking the laser rifle and tried to increase the speed of the movements. Shaking the rifle too much would only lower the accuracy of the shots. Xiaosu also observed him for a while before shaking his head. He had no idea what Wang Zheng was trying to get at.

He on the other hand, was trying to think of a better method for them to earn their first pot of gold.

It was not as straightforward and easy as he had initially thought.

At the same time, Wang Zheng's training was looking more and more interesting. The mech Wang Zheng was shooting at possessed a magnetic storm equipment that could disrupt the enemy's accuracy. The inaccuracy of his own shots coupled with the magnetic storm had caused the shots he fired to hit himself! As a result, his Wargod No. 1 had even exploded multiple times.

Yan Xiaosu could no longer stand idly watching Wang Zheng. He felt that he was dreaming… he could easily tackle this level with just the use of one hand.

Whereas on the other side, Wang Zheng, who had already caused his own mech to explode countless times, did not even seem concerned. He did not even bother adjusting his shooting posture as he continued to experiment.

At this point, Wang Zheng did not notice that the imprint of the Rubik's cube was emitting a strange, soft light.

"Loading information…. 1 percent… 10 percent… preparing…preparing…continuing download….."

The match lasted for quite a while. In the process, Wang Zheng was 'destroyed' countless times. Yan Xiaosu, on the other hand, had even won multiple games in that time while waiting for him. Ever since Xiaosu found out that Wang Zheng was Skeleton, it was as though he had become a war god himself. His skill had improved immensely. He had even won three consecutive victories, a rather rare achievement, and earned praises from his teammates.

Meanwhile, Wang Zheng was still fighting the same mech. His training results were tragic.

Xiaosu had no idea what Wang Zheng was doing and was too tired to figure it out. His main intention was to accompany Wang Zheng. Pondering about the issue, the best way for Wang Zheng to end his misery was to start a new romance, and Xiaosu knew that very well himself. His relationship with Yue Jing was only over after he had gotten together with An Mei. He knew it deep down in his heart too, and it stayed with him as a good memory of his first love.

Ye Zisu and Meng Tian would make good partners, but due to their individual circumstances, they were difficult to deal with.

Alas, it seem like he really had to rack his brains to find a suitable partner for Wang Zheng.

The two guys left the premises late that evening. It was a rare occasion that Skeleton appeared and yet did not fight any battles. His corp was, however, feeling very hyped up. They were making guesses as to what Skeleton was practicing and how long it would take him to master it. Training in CT was not the same as training in actuality. One did not need a lot of time to master techniques in CT. The number of people in the Skeleton Corps continued to increase in large numbers. Everyone was in high spirits and were indifferent between winning and losing. Rainbow and Qiangsen were surrounded by teammates who were eager to learn from their combat experiences. They were indeed highly skilled players and even started a special teaching game to teach many other players.

Due to his background and physical disability, Qiangsen could only play in solo tournaments. He was formidable in dark arenas, as he had a profound understanding of the working mechanics and operations of a mech. While the darkness barely affected and instead actually helped Qiangsen, the average player would not be able to know what was going on in such an arena and would need an even longer time to get their bearings, even with the help of specialized equipment. Their movements were even more delayed in such an environment and were totally directionless in those scenarios. Thus, they would always lose to Qiangsen in terms of speed, leaving him victorious.

Additionally, Rainbow had outstanding leadership skills on top of his knowledge on mecha, and he was able to make accurate decisions in battle.

Ailun and Chen Xiu, on the other hand, were in charge of analyzing battles. They complimented each other and worked well together and weren't inferior to even the likes of Young Deer and Bubbly Foam.

Wang Zheng did not return to school but made a trip back home instead. His breakup with Aina gave him time to calm down and reflect on his life. Who the heck was the old man? Why did he possess such a profound scientific background? Even his random conjectures and words could result in a revolution! His identity was really quite questionable. Why was he willing to live in such a rundown hut for ten years? Why did he pass Wang Zheng the Rubik's Cube, and what was the Rubik's Cube all about?

Wang Zheng had so many questions that he wanted answers to. What was his fate? What was it with the Rubik's Cube?

By the time Wang Zheng reached his door, the doors of the bookstore opposite him had remained closed. A notice was pasted onto the door, signaling that the landlord was looking for new tenants. It seemed like the old man had left and was not planning to ever return.

He looked up at the night stars. The stars truly were beautiful. By now, Aina would probably have reached another part of the galaxy. He suddenly felt lost.

Wang Zheng made his way back to his room. It was coated with a thin layer of dust. His eyes lit up… There were footprints left amidst the dust…

It would have been unnoticeable to the average person, but this did not escape Wang Zheng's eyes. Someone was here before. This shabby place would not attract thieves… unless!

Wang Zheng looked around the room and finally found a slip of paper on the table. To his surprise, he leapt forward and grabbed it, eager to know the information written on it. It was understandable, he was only 16 years old, and he still wanted the concern of his closest kin.

Scrawled on the letter was the Old Merchant's handwriting.

"Knowledge is wealth. Believe in yourself and set your ambitions and goals far and wide… This house is sold, I didn't expect the price to increase so much, don't miss me too much. – Old Merchant"

Wang Zheng blinked his eyes.. and slowly wiped off the tears..

That wretched old man, he had only came back to take his real estate documents! Wang Zheng opened the cupboard. Gone, there was nothing left. He had nothing left to his name.

There was a new tenant notice on the door, and he only had the house to himself for a few more days. It was truly exasperating

After a letting out a howl of regret, Wang Zheng collapsed onto his bed. The bookstore was gone. The house was gone. His last form of communication with the Old Merchant was also gone.

What was going to happen from this point onwards?

At this moment, the imprint of the Rubik's cube in his chest started to exude a faint light.

He could feel an electric shock coming from the cube. Wang Zheng stared at the ceiling blankly. No way… could this actually be the legendary saying of rain trickling down the cracked ceiling coming true???

It had not even been two years, Bonehead! Did he not even know how to count!?!?!?!

Wang Zheng opened his eyes to stare at Bonehead's familiar face… it looked a little strict

"Haha, my dear Bonehead! It's been awhile. You have been dearly missed!"

Bonehead was one that never played by the rules. Hence, Wang Zheng felt it was safer to have a lower profile.

Silence….

Wang Zheng was starting to sweat. Every time Bonehead was deep in thought, it would mean that there was trouble. The red light emitting through his eye sockets was studying him from top to bottom. Wang Zheng was as fearless as before. He did not want to die… because he had barely tasted the sweetness of life.

"An anomaly has arisen. The existence of the Rand Empire cannot be confirmed. After calculations, there appears to be thirteen unknown space dimensions for space travel. Executing Rand Empire's first law," the skeleton robot said meticulously.

Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly. "Everything that you are saying is contradictory. What was the first law again? I hope you are not out to destroy me again…"

"The first law is to rebuild the Rand Empire. You have ascended the throne as the fifth Emperor of Rand, and I will be responsible for searching across the world for your survivors."

Looking at Bonehead speak, Wang Zheng could not help but find him extremely wearisome. What emperor? What survivors? Were there some issues with the system?

"Bonehead, come take a seat. Don't pull such a face, we can discuss this issue again. You see, it hasn't even been two years, yet you called for me. I have matters outside to settle, so let me go now and I promise I will have the energy to fight in two years."

Wang Zheng was trying to pull out all the stops to prevent this.

"Your Majesty, reviving this country is the sole purpose of my existence. I will carry out the supervision plan for it. Please, you must cooperate. Otherwise, I might need to use coercive measures," Bonehead said motionlessly.

Wang Zheng could not afford to go against him. He was just unreasonable! What a difficult position he held as emperor!

"Speak, what should I do?" Wang Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, we need more information on this dimensional space. You now need to start the second phase of training and adjust the settings according to the characteristics of this space," Bonehead said, with the same tone of seriousness.

"Bonehead, relax… don't be so hard on yourself. Aren't we reviving the country? We first need to discuss more practical matters. I became seriously ill during the last special training, so I have no more battle energy left. How did that happen?"

"Your majesty, your battle energy is connected to the energy source of the Rubik's Cube. The implementation of the resurrection plan requires your genes and energy. Hence, it caused a temporary weakness in your battle energy and made you fragile."

Wang Zheng wanted to reply…but he basically understood what was happening. The Rand Empire was an evolution of a military empire. There were top-notch soldiers throughout the army. It was surprising that they could all somehow co-exist together.

Something he was sure of was that the shackles that were holding him down the past two years were gone. The problem now was that the Rubik's Cube needed more battle energy to complete the resurrection plan.

Wang Zheng initially wanted to take his time… He had the power to do so, and there were many ways to delay the plan. But he suddenly thought of Aina.

Perhaps this might be his only chance!

The Rubik's Cube would become his greatest asset in his future battles.

Wang Zheng was starting to feel crazy and excited for the second phase of the training.

The first phase consisted of physical exercise. In Bonehead's words, this was setting the foundations in becoming a War God. It was just the most basic layer of development. However, mankind's greatest strength was their spirit. Simply speaking, it related to the development, usage, practice and refinement of the brain and its functions to the level of a War God. At this stage, the Rubik's Cube could be used as a tool to greatly enhance the energy level of an individual.

Chapter 77: Beautiful Ladies, Don't Be Fixated Over This Brother

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Phase two could only be entered when one had gathered sufficient battle energy!

It was like a fairy tale to Student Wang.

Earth, water, fire, wind, space. The five elements. This was the second phase of training in the Rubik's Cube's special space time dimension.

It might be that after some time, young people would become complacent. Wang Zheng did show some interest, but he got the hang of things very quickly.

Earth, water, fire, wind, space training was split into two main layers. The first was superficial training based on all types of environments. The other was something that could be felt but not described.

The earth element consisted of all sorts of odd environments. It would definitely look like a pretty decent journey to the eyes of an outsider, but to experience it was a completely different thing.

Wang Zheng experienced being chewed by monsters, especially giant insects. He understood that the horrors of the first phase of training was nothing compared to this. In fact, phase one was heaven compared to this.

Water element training mainly focused on honing Wang Zheng's understanding of the oceans. Every type of condition out in the seas was honed. From the ability to combat underwater, to understanding water, to becoming part of water. It was to turn it into an enjoyment and not an obstacle.

It all led to understanding of water as an element.

Fire, on the other hand, referred to volatile environments. It was not suitable for living things, but the ultimate warrior must be able to adapt and harness this ability.

Soon enough, Wang Zheng forgot about the time. Merely paying full attention was insufficient for such training sessions.

Wind was formless. It was everywhere and was affected by everything. It arose from impacting a surface, was affected by movement through time and space… Wang Zheng was starting to get "addicted" to this feeling. He began to enjoy such endless training more and more. It was kind of insane, but it felt really great.

The reason being that he had managed to grasp some supernatural powers. He couldn't articulate how it felt, but the powers he used to think did not exist were now developing inside of him.

Bonehead silently recorded the whole training session. An image of Wang Zheng's brain was shown on screen. The reason he could not make any further progress was the lack of development of his brain. This was a simultaneous process.

Brain development had many types. The first was to allow the external environment to provoke growth. Another was to gain enlightenment through training. Each had its pros and cons. The former was too dangerous, and the latter too difficult. The Rand Empire used both.

Wang Zheng complained at first, but Bonehead turned a deaf ear to him.

Space. This was the toughest and highest level. It combined the elements of the universe, combining all powers into one.

Understanding the universe from harsh training and finally becoming one with space.

In the water world, Wang Zheng was taken away by sea monsters once more. While he wouldn't die from it, the pain of being bitten by a sea creature was deeply etched in his mind. Wang Zheng fought and screamed initially, struggling to get away. However, after a period of time, he realised it was useless and hence began to analyse what he did wrongly as the monsters chewed on him.

Wang Zheng was born to be a warrior!

Bonehead did not idle even for a moment. He analysed Wang Zheng's physical and mental well-being, planning the next matching phase. The data gained from Wang Zheng's performance in the phases were crunched to allow for an all-encompassing analysis to best facilitate the next phase. This was also the power of the Rubik's Cube.

With regards to the fighting forces of Wang Zheng's world, the Rubik's Cube also took the time to analyse them. However, due to the lack of energy and data, only so much could be done, so Wang Zheng would have to study it himself.

Because of the difference in dimensions, the warriors from Rand Empire could not appear in this world, but they could produce warriors that were suited for this world.

Time passed and the training stopped. Although Phase Two was incomplete, at least Wang Zheng felt that he now had a simple understanding of the five elements. But the Rubik's Cube had run out of power.

Leaving this time around was different from the last. Wang Zheng took his time and left as the Skeleton Robot bowed.

Time… Wang Zheng had really lost track of time.

Wang Zheng found himself lying in the hospital when he opened his eyes.

Yan Xiaosu was right beside him. Noticing Wang Zheng's eyes opening, Yan Xiaosu pounced onto him tearfully, wiping his snot on Wang Zheng.

"Boss, you're finally awake! I thought you were going to die."

"You die! Why am I in the hospital?"

"You've been in a coma for three days,"An Mei sighed helplessly. To think that Wang Zheng was so devoted to her and yet Wang Shishi was so heartless to have really left!

"There are plenty of fish in the sea. It's just falling out of love. You're a grown man; it's not worth brooding over someone who doesn't cherish you. Let Big Sis introduce better ones to you!" An Mei patted her fully developed bosom in confidence.

Wang Zheng perspired. Those three days felt like three long years. But there was no sense of time at all in the Rubik's Cube. The weird, endless training session left him feeling confused.

"Boss, the doctor says your mind is still weak and extremely unstable. It was greatly stimulated," said Yan Xiaosu.

The brainwaves shown on the medical devices were fluctuating as a result of Wang Zheng's training. This was not easy to explain.

Wang Zheng forced a smile. "Actually, I was practicing the breathing technique passed down by my family, but I went too far."

An Mei and Yan Xiaosu looked at each other and nodded their heads in understanding. Men tended to have bigger egos and would struggle till the end.

"Wang Zheng, you're considered pretty decent. Don't worry, you'll find a good one for sure! Meng Tian and Ye Zisu are pretty great! If not for Yan Xiaosu's objection, I would've asked both of them over."

Wang Zheng smiled. Yan Xiaosu knew him well. "It's been hard on you both."

The trio did up the discharge papers, and the doctor took the incident to be just another broken heart.

Walking on the streets, Wang Zheng felt completely different. The world was brighter and clearer, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of nature if he focused on it.

"Boss, as brothers for life, don't say that I haven't taken care of you. Here, take this!"

Yan Xiaosu painfully handed something to Wang Zheng.

A ticket….

"Lin Huiyin's concert?" Wang Zheng stunned.

"Go out and have some fun. Lin Huiyin has arrived in Beijing, and it'll be the first time performing on Earth this weekend!"

Only then did Wang Zheng noticed the advertisements for this concert all over the place. On them were pictures of an angel-like girl.

Wang Zheng smiled and stuffed the ticket back in Yan Xiaosu's hand. "You two go. I'm not very interested in it."

They sent An Mei home first. It was obvious that An Mei and Yan Xiaosu's relationship was growing increasingly intimate.

"Boss, the negotiations with CT concluded. Each appearance in Season One will be one million!" Yan Xiaosu informed.

Wang Zheng's jaw dropped. "In Milky Way Dollars?"

"Heheh, of course! Do you think they would use Earth Dollars? Unimaginable, I know, but I still find it to be worth too little," Yan Xiaosu said proudly. He was an expert at doing business, an ability inherited from his family. Tissue paper was a business too.

Wang Zheng shrugged. It seemed as though he was not suited to do business. Yet this amount of money was great too.

"Feeling great today. You go arrange it."

"Aite! But you'd better make a trip to school. Professor Xiao Fei is looking for you." Yan Xiaosu gleamed. "Boss, Professor Xiao Fei is actually pretty great too! She's quite the mature individual!"

"Your mom! When did you become such a pervert?"

Yan Xiaosu shrugged. "Gotta enjoy yourself in life! Plus, just thinking about it isn't illegal."

"Don't tell me you've…"

Wang Zheng looked at Yan Xiaosu. Yan Xiaosu straightened his chest. "Sorry, Boss, I'll make a move first. We're true brothers, and I'm a real man now. Well, if you weren't ill, I would never have had this opportunity. Thanks!"

…. The hospital …

Damn. This guy had taken advantage of the opportunity indeed.

Back in school, Wang Zheng headed straight for Xiao Fei's office. Xiao Fei had just returned from a work trip and had interviews lined up one after another. The results of her research had been submitted to the Milky Way Alliance's main courts for assessment, and her theories had passed the test.

"I heard you were out of love." Xiao Fei looked up.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. "Uhm, Professor, you don't have to be that straightforward, do you?"

"Ha. Falling out of love is part of growing up! Not too bad; you look more handsome than before. I've got something good for you. Lin Huiyin's in Beijing. Ares College is one of the places she'll be visiting, but she doesn't want to make a great deal out of it. She wants it to be kept low-profile and would like to have a couple of tour guides."

"Oh. That's nice."

Wang Zheng had no clue what this had to do with him.

"Yeah. Problem is, she specifically asked for you."

Xiao Fei's eyes widened. She walked up to him and gave him a good look. "Tell me, how does she know you?"

Wang Zheng froze. Did Lin Huiyin find out he was Skeleton?

That's not possible, only Yan Xiaosu and Aina knew.

How did a star like her know his name? Totally bizarre.

"I don't think you know her either. Maybe it's because your name is on the paper too, and you're now one of our signature students at Ares."

"No, no, it's all thanks to your teachings, Professor." Wang Zheng laughed.

Xiao Fei threw Wang Zheng a look. "Good boy, you are very sensible. Other than you, Ye Zisu will be there too. You'll both be responsible for hosting Lin Huiyin. Do a good job, I'm her fan. Remember to get me a signed copy of her CD!"

Wang Zheng sweated. So Xiao Fei was actually just like that.

"Look at your eyes. There's no boundary in art!"

Xiao Fei straightened herself. Of all the girls Wang Zheng knew, Xiao Fei was indeed the most mature.

Watching Wang Zheng leave, Xiao Fei smiled to herself. This kid was not that useless.

Wang Zheng headed to Brothers Net Café immediately after leaving Xiao Fei's office. He needed a battle to clear his mind.

Theoretically speaking, after having spent so much time in the Rubik's Cube, he should have almost felt jet-lagged in the real world, but the actual effect was that of a slightly longer-than-usual dream. Yet Wang Zheng was still feeling disoriented. Even though he understood that Aina's departure was probably not her own choice, he still missed her. It felt as though something important was missing. Despite having been through extraordinary events, deep down, Wang Zheng was just an ordinary man.

At Brothers Net Café, the owner gleefully welcomed Wang Zheng. However, he kept looking back, hoping to see Aina here.

Launching CT needed some time, leaving some time to warm up in the training room.

After another round of special training, Wang Zheng felt different when he entered the machine again. In the past, the machine was the machine, and the pilot a pilot. He could pilot the mech effectively, but it felt as though there would be a layer between them. Now it felt as though as the mech and him were no longer separated, but an extended part of his body.

It was a magical feeling. Wang Zheng jumped around, and riding the Wargod No. 1 was no different from dancing.

Chapter 78: Magical Bird

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The whole CT system was bustling with activity during this downtime. It had been a while since this happened, and Solon had even mumbled Skeleton's name in his dreams. The new plans were great, but there was also the matter of his rate of appearance. Although Skeleton should have appeared at least once a week, the contract simply did not regulate that, and hence Solon could not complain.

Solon was just like a general, merely giving directions calmly.

The list of challengers in the system was already extremely long. The players appeared but did not go into battle immediately, which intrigued the spectators. What was more baffling was that even more challengers showed up this time compared to before.

Moreover, an announcement about the battle was made in advance.

The problem lay with the opponents!

Wang Zheng had almost managed to attain what he wanted in the last round of training. He was just a small step away from mastery, but he just couldn't seem to master the laser technique. He thought that he could manage to do so, but instead he failed time and again.

But having been through the training for the Five Elements, Wang Zheng now had a completely different understanding of himself and even the world.

Laser gun in hand, he swung his arm, shooting it with an exaggerated move. It was not a normal way to shoot, and not even children would do that. Yet Wang Zheng found joy in it.

In the natural world, a laser was a type of light, and this solidified light was no different from matter.

Looking at it from the aspect of "air," everything had a form of physical existence. The only reason why others could not see this was because they could not understand its mysteriousness and intricacies.

They could not feel it.

Student Wang was able to feel everything around him. On the other hand, he was having a great deal of fun training. Solon was busy settling some matters while Young Deer and Bubbly Foam were already ready and preparing to commentate.

In Europe, Lear was sitting in an enormous room. A huge screen was in front of him.

"This is the oddball you were talking about?"

"Yes, Sir. After conducting multiple battle analyses, I have found that this man is fairly skilled. If you do not care for his physical quality, he has a well-rounded battle quality and makes for a good practice opponent," the caretaker answered with utmost courtesy.

Lear had returned to Europe. Losing in Ares College was just a tiny setback. He had chosen the entire team himself, so instead of punishing that fatty, he studied the problem. The team needed training, but mistakes could not be repeated. That was his rule.

The Tri-College Exchange was just a stepping board for him. Outsiders could only watch it for fun. That was his warm-up match before the first audition among military schools in the Solar System.

There were only five spots for Earth. He was naturally one of them.

"Do you think this man is more suitable as an opponent compared to the others in the army?"

Lear trusted the caretaker's judgment more than anything else, as he was the one who discovered all the opponents. There were now more than 10 mecha of different types from the real world piling up in his backyard…. "Home" might not be a suitable name now.

Looking from a bird's eye view, the entire mansion was seated in the mountains. There was a takeoff and landing strip for airplanes, which was a whopping 10 hectares large. It looked no different from a military base.

Lear's training opponents were usually selected from the army.

Skeleton's competition videos were playing on the big screen. Lear did not care much for them at first, but he smiled after watching parts of it.

"He is pretty interesting."

The Caretaker smiled. "Young Master, his standard is considered top-notch on Earth. It's rare that he only uses the Wargod No. 1. That'll help you solidify your fundamentals, which is considerably valuable."

Lear nodded. "Go ahead. I'll go get ready."

"Yes, Sir."

The caretaker left the room. With a wave of his hand, all sorts of equipment started flashing in the other room. A dozen staff were busy working.

Over at CT, the matched opponent's name was out, too.

ID: Magical Bird.

Region: Earth. He was consistently one of the Top 10 snipers in the past six months. Diamond rank. Most used mech: Shadow Demon Ur.

Shadow Monster Ur was one of the best aerial mecha on Earth. It possessed excellent flight abilities and was quick and agile. Its performance on ground was not too bad either, and in the cityscape battles, which Magical Bird was best at, he had held the super record of 20 consecutive wins.

He was definitely a strong opponent.

Bubbly Foam and Young Deer had appeared on the screen.

"The opponent is out! Magical Bird! This player seems to be in pretty good form recently. It will be the first time Skeleton deals with a mech that can fly. I am not too sure how he will perform, and I can't wait to see how this battle will progress!" Bubbly Foam exclaimed. It was apparent that this beautiful girl had put in a lot of effort into her appearance. She knew that there was a good possibility that Skeleton would look at her.

"Haha! Skeleton did not show up last time. Seems like he's not doing that great. Let's hope he won't get away again this time," Young Deer said.

Bubbly Foam rolled her eyes. "Comrade Young Deer, why don't you face reality! I heard you've started a CT training class. Have you had any attendees?"

Young Deer smiled confidently. "Of course! The class is full. I'm pretty good at teaching. I welcome everybody to come and join the Young Deer God Training Class, especially pretty girls. You'll even get a 30% discount!"

"How many Skylinks of pretty girls have you asked?"

Young Deer shook his head in seriousness. "I'm a serious person. Learning is learning. How could I ask for pretty girls' IDs wantonly? In fact, if any pretty girls face technical difficulties, they can get a room and wait for me. Face to face coaching would be much better."

Bubbly Foam's face turned grey.

It was said that Young Deer's narration was becoming more and more colorful. Bubbly Foam had thought it was a rumor at first, but now it seemed to be true. She had heard that when mentally agitated, these individuals took things to the extreme.

"Do you think Skeleton will be able to win this battle?"

"If I were Magical Bird, I wouldn't think of going at Skeleton directly in a head-on confrontation. Instead, I would opt to destroy the Wargod No. 1's weapons, placing myself in a superior position before toying with him!"

The Wargod No. 1's weapons system was terrifying, but the Shadow Demon Ur was equipped with even longer distance targeting systems.

Shadow Demon Ur's flying system's main purpose was not to battle in the air. Rather, it was to use the mech to snipe from a superior position. It could also escape the battlefield faster. Combined with the fact that it was equipped with a pretty outstanding Driss Heavy Sniper Laser Cannon, it had horrifying long-distance combat capabilities.

There was a benefit to such a heavy sniper cannon. Even if it didn't hit the target directly, as long as the shot landed nearby, the strong laser's magnetic field would destroy the mech's equipment. For instance, the Wargod No. 1's laser gun would definitely be affected by the area of interference. Moreover, it had been rendered obsolete in the real battlefield for many years now.

In order to deal with the new equipment that was constantly being developed, the different mecha had to come up with anti-interference systems. Otherwise, players would be defeated so badly that they wouldn't even be able to remember who their own mothers were!

The Skeleton Corps was on fire. The key members, Chen Xiu, Yao Ailun, Rainbow, and Qiangsen, had arrived and taken their positions. Presently, the Skeleton Corps was the most active group in Asia.

Rainbow and Qiangsen knew mecha like the Shadow Demon Ur very well, as they had encountered it in battles before. As of now, although there were no large scale battles in the Milky Way Alliance, clashes had never ceased since the dawn of humankind. Mecha were the tools of such clashes. However, they were designed and utilized based on terrain.

This type of Shadow Demon Ur was commonly used in skirmishes, but could Magical Bird use it to defeat Skeleton?

Both of them expressed doubts. Having battled Skeleton, they knew very well the unpredictability of his ability to adapt.

The discussion forum, on the other hand, possessed varying views. What was more curious was that half of them supported Skeleton despite the seemingly disadvantageous situation.

If it had been any other player, they'd definitely be defeated.

Wargod No. 1 vs Shadow Demon Ur?

There's no need to even battle to know the result.

But right now, many believed that there was a solution to every battle situation.

Wang Zheng was happily training, while his opponent was already ready.

The battle was right about to start, but Magical Bird had suddenly gone offline.

Such situations were rare, and the officials hurriedly contacted him. Renowned players like Magical Bird had public contact details.

This was a live show, and this was a situation not to be taken lightly.

Luckily, Magical Bird came back on after a few minutes.

Back in Europe, in the mansion among the Alps, Lear was ready.

The Caretaker took his leave. The Cronos could achieve anything on Earth.

Lear Cronos was the god of the Cronos family. What he wanted to achieve was not to solidify the family's standing. The Cronos family was already the first and foremost family on Earth. Their influence was immense, and they had been this way for two centuries. What Lear wanted to achieve was to extend their influence outside of Earth.

Humankind originated from Earth, and it had to be someone from Earth to dominate the Milky Way!

To achieve this, Lear had gone through inhuman training since childhood. Yet he passed every single one of them. It was a feat no other man could achieve.

In fact, it was not just Lear. The Moon and Mars also groomed a new generation of successors with the ambition to regain the status of the Solar System. It was the most secretive alliance made.

The Solar System had dominated the Milky Way Federation for centuries in the past. But now, their position was merely symbolic.

Not one country had as much pride as those of humankind on Earth.

Lear did not think of it as a burden. The training sessions were all easy to him. There were no obstacles in taking in knowledge of all aspects. His genetic score was S class.

For ordinary men, outstanding talent of one in a hundred was classified under A class. For geniuses that occurred only once in a hundred million, they were classified as S class.

Within the A class, only a few had Ability X. But all men who were classified S had Ability X!

In the last battle at Ares College, Lear was only trying things out. At that level, there was no need to perform exaggeratedly. It was just that nobody had expected Wang Zheng to appear and turn the tables.

This time round, although things took a little longer, the opponent still made it in time.

The caretaker made a Skylink call outside. "Hope we'll have a pleasant time working together."

On the other end, Magical Bird gaped at his account balance. There was another million credited into it.

"You're not worried I'd log in here and take advantage of you?" Magical Bird could not fathom why these people would spend 2 million just for an opportunity to battle Skeleton.

The caretaker smiled. "I believe in you. You know the value of 2 million. A life might be too much, but a leg would be just nice."

Magical Bird shivered. "Haha! Just kidding! We'll have a good time working together! Remember to get in touch with me the next time you've got such a great deal!"

He hung up quickly. Just who were these people?

Although they were unable to fight, people were still waiting to watch the battle go on.

Both parties were to choose the terrain.

Skeleton never chose anything. Lear could not care for much and set the map choice to be random..

The Battle Map — Resuscitating Island!

This was an island that had a long history on Earth. On it, there was a giant sculpture of a human head. It was said to be an extraterrestrial masterpiece and was considered an unsolved mystery a couple of centuries ago. Of course, today, there was no secret to what it is.

It was a mark made by the Yatelands people when they left.

Chapter 79: Equally Matched Opponents

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng once again chose the Wargod No. 1, but this time around, his opponent did the same.

This surprised the two commentators. Young Deer and Bubbly Foam looked at each other. "That… that seems like he is overdoing it."

Bubbly Foam shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. After seeing how Skeleton performed, nobody would have thought that anyone else using the Wargod No. 1 could defeat him. Skeleton understood the Wargod No. 1 like the back of his hand.

While Magical Bird was a strong player, these high level players all used the mech they were most acquainted with. Using a different mech would turn a skilled player into a loser in no time.

It was fair to say that the choice of mech determined 70% of the games.

Faced with such a battle, choosing the Wargod No. 1 was clearly a poor decision for Magical Bird.

Amidst disappointment and doubt in the comments, Lear remained unwavering.

Resuscitating Island. Wargod No. 1 VS Wargod No. 1.

Inside the CT control room, Solon felt helpless. This was not within his control. Many players were very prideful and would not take advantage of such a situation. In this case, however, the game was bound to end uneventfully.

On screen, the numbers did not exceed that of the last game. Many audience members would only decide whether or not to pay to watch the livestream after Magical Bird chose his mech. In the end, Magical Bird chose the Wargod No. 1…

The two warriors fell from the skies. Lear was familiar with CT and had played before. It was just that it was not challenging and hence he was uninterested. It was also his first time using the Wargod No. 1. However, to him, all of the mecha were more or less the same. Of course, he still made it a point to understand this ancient mech's specifications before the battle started.

"Oh, Magical Bird has made a move! Let's take a guess; how long will it take Skeleton to end this battle?"

Bubbly Foam was full of confidence. She was already a member and fan of Team Skeleton.

Winning comes first and foremost, excitement was secondary.

Young Deer on the other hand, was mad. "This imbecile! Wait till the battle is over and I'll go over and give him an earful before giving him a slap!"

On screen, the Wargod No. 1 pulled out his alloy knife and laser gun, waving them amateurishly.

The audience burst into chatter. Just, what was Magical Bird up to?

But just as Wang Zheng silently watched his opponent move, the other party paid close attention to him.

This time round, things were starting to get interesting.

Magical Bird finished his exercise. At this point, both Wargods dashed towards each other, almost at the same time. At this point, everyone had the feeling that no one could fathom how the battle would turn out.

Crash! The alloy knives clashed in a flurry of sparks.

Booom!

Sparks flew. Both Wargods made cackling noises. The enormous recoil force made both machines fall back, but the identical engines prevented the fall almost at the same time. There was a slight difference of less than 0.1 seconds, and outsiders could not tell the difference at all.

The alloy knives moved almost simultaneously, lighting up the skies… It was Magical Bird!

He actually made the first move!

Skeleton was quick, too. The two had no energy shields, and yet rushed to strike at each other. In the blink of an eye, more than 10 attacks were executed but only the reflections of the knives and sparks could be seen from their intense clash

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 had already launched a kick, but Magical Bird's Wargod took a step forward, blocking the kick and breaking its impact. At the same time, he threw a fist.

The alloy knives struck at each other simultaneously.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two Wargods stumbled and took three steps backwards before they were able to steady themselves.

There was silence. Young Deer's jaw dropped. He browsed through the information on hand subconsciously. "When did Magical Bird become an expert in close range battles?"

"Isn't he a sniper?" "What the hell!"

Back on the battlefield, the two warring mecha did not stop. Skeleton initiated the first move this time. Once the Skeleton God struck, the opponent could only defend!

Arced Slide Step!

Skeleton's Wargod changed his position and moved a large distance in the blink of an eye, instinctively slashing with his knife at the same time.

But Magical Bird's Wargod did not dodge. The mech pivoted on the spot and did a back-handed attack.

Bang!

The Arced Slide Step attack did not take much effort, and the back-handed move used the opponent's own strength and speed to strike itself. Skeleton's Wargod lost its balance and landed in a disadvantaged position.

Magical Bird's Wargod's engines roared. It kept low and slipped towards Skeleton in its fastest speed, using the shortest distance, and crashed into it.

The move was not to hurt, but to disrupt his balance completely.

Being completely defenseless, he crashed into Skeleton's Wargod No. 1. Although Wang Zheng had high expectations for balance, it was the first time he encountered such an opponent. He was almost on a level on par with him, with a keen eye for detail.

Usually at this point, an ordinary opponent would deliver their strongest attacking move, giving Wang Zheng an opportunity to make a move. But Magical Bird did not do that.

Crash!

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 lost its balance, and the sharp edges on Magical Bird's mech was quickly approaching his cockpit.

A furious unrelenting attack was then unleashed leaving Skeleton without any room to breathe. The body unleashing these moves had to resist the impact and force exerted on it due to the speed of the moves… but the pilot was still managing to attack effectively.

This body… to Lear… was just too light and too easy to control.

The Caretaker stood outside, watching quietly. Perfect. This was exactly what Lear had was.

Nobody could beat him.

Not in real life, and not in CT.

A perfect body with perfect training. He could achieve the status of a God!

The next move was to be the killing blow.

Everyone else was shocked. Where the heck did this almighty god come from? How could he fight so well at close combat?

The next attack was indeed inescapable. Now that Skeleton had lost his balance, he could only lean away to avoid getting his vitals hurt.

But something miraculous happened.

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 was neither defending nor attacking anymore. Instead with a forced movement, grabbed the alloy knife under his arms.

And at the same time, he pulled his opponent downwards as he fell simultaneously swinging his left fist out.

The punch landed right on Magical Bird's mech's head.

After taking the punch, Magical Bird pulled his knife out and kicked savagely. He hit Skeleton's squarely in the chest.

Crash….

Both machines fell at the same time.

Magical Bird's Wargod No. 1 fell three steps back and regained balance. Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 made a turn and pushed himself up with one arm, and stood back up.

They had only swapped positions.

The spectator stand erupted with cheers. This was a battle of skilled close combat fighters!

Young Deer and Bubbly Foam looked at each other. "That's definitely not Magical Bird!"

"I've commentated Magical Bird's competitions. He's a sniper and his close up combat skills are just average!"

"I've seen him being forced into hand combats, it's not even as good as 10% of what is being shown here!"

"Woah. If this was combined with his skills in long ranged fights, this would make him the King!"

Such an opening tussle attracted many players who were watching to join in and spectate it officially. This was a sign that things were about to get interesting. There was no disadvantaged competitor when everything was equal. Instead, this was a path that would lead to one of them becoming a true god!

It seemed like Skeleton's performance had finally attracted a real master.

Lear smiled too. It was rare to have opponents who adapted to situations so quickly and so well.

Solon bit his teeth. "Execute plan B!"

"Yes sir!"

The staff were very excited. They immediately executed his commands.

Resuscitating Island shook. The skies turned a flaming red, and countless red lights dotted the sky.

"Fireworks?"

"Is this a change in environment?"

In choosing the battle environments, some environments were unstable and would occasionally see earthquakes and so forth. Some foreign stars, for instance, were worlds of changing environments. But the solar system was mainly made of stable environments.

However, the Resuscitating Island was indeed an environment that would change drastically, just that changes were very rare.

Once changes occurred, the difficulty of the battle would be skyrocket. Ordinary players could never cope with it.

Lear smirked. Someone was trying to create a hoo-ha out of such a small deal?

The earth cracked open and splintered endlessly. Molten dark red lava could be seen erupting out of the cracks. A burning ball of fire came crashing down the skies. It was a burning meteor.

If one was directly hit, even if the Wargod No. 1 didn't die, they'd lose their combat abilities.

The mood in CT operations room was tense too. It was a special day.

Everyone was looking at Solon. Solon's palms broke out in sweat. He wasn't sure what this would bring, too. But it was only a matter of time before it actually happened. Might as well initiate it than be forced into it.

Solon nodded. "Begin!"

The audience could all see a new popup – Stimulation System Launched.

That meant that the same harmful effects the harsh environment brought about could also be felt by the pilots. At the same time, the difficulty of executing a high levelled move would increase by 50%.

This would mean that it would be almost twice as difficult to make any extreme moves.

The audience was shocked. Could the game even go on?

Ordinarily, the battlefield only had a subtle impact on the mech. Damage on the mech and its effects were minimal to highlight the opponent's operating skills. No matter what, this was not a real battle.

But recently, some master players had complained that the games were too easy, lacking a sense of reality and realistic operation. The new system had already been introduced to other stars, but this was the first time they used it in the solar system.

And the first time this was used during such an important battle!

Solon watched the screens closely. He believed Skeleton would win!

There was one minute of free combat. The time was for the two players to adapt to their new environment.

Wang Zheng could feel the earth shaking even more vigorously now. The controls suddenly became a lot harder to use. Lear, on the other end, felt almost nothing.

The countless burning meteors had brought the temperatures up, so much so that the internal components were feeling the heat.

But no matter how the surroundings shook, the two Wargod No. 1s maintained their balance.

The staff were nervous. What if… what if Skeleton could not get used to such a battlefield?

Solon was extremely excited. The decision was made spontaneously, and the two players could use Wargod No. 1 so effectively. Definitely not just some nobodies.

Nobody had used this in the solar system. It was said that Mars was just getting ready to try it out. Solon was now the first to make the move to this new system

What would happen?

Behind their machines, Wang Zheng and Lear smiled to themselves.

Now, this was the real deal!

Free combat mode ended. The mecha roared to life!

Chapter 80: Godly Defense

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In the VIP area, the audience was able to clearly feel the ground shaking violently. In fact, the meteorites in the skies could possibly be fatal!

Generally, in this situation, players who were inexperienced would have forgotten how to operate the mecha.

Two Wargod No. 1s charged at each other at full speed as meteorites crashed down onto the ground beside them. Both mecha performed high levels, dodging as the Wargod No. 1s lacked energy shields. Hence, any meteorites hitting them could prove to be fatal. Furthermore, the shaking ground was also an enormous test of balance.

Boom…

One of the meteorites impacted the ground nearby, causing a large plume of smoke to billow into the air. Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 then jumped out of the smoke cloud and swung the alloy knife viciously downwards towards Magical Bird.

The ground beneath Magical Bird had collapsed and the mech had lost its balance due to the violent vibration.

The strike was fatal, and clearly, this chaotic environment did not seem to affect Skeleton.

However, Magical Bird's Wargod No. 1 had lost its balance and fell. As a result, he used both his arms to support himself. Stuck in the situation, without any vision of Skeleton, he lashed out with his foot.

Boom..

His kick was sent towards Skeleton's mech's wrist. If the kick had landed as anticipated, the power of collision from both sides would have definitely been able to break the wrist. If not, at the very least it would send the alloy knife flying out of his grip.

But Skeleton's Wargod No. 1's fingers flashed inconceivably at this point, and the alloy knife was swapped into a reverse grip position! The knife continued to descend towards Magical Bird's mech.

At that point in time, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1's mech's fingers moved at a rapid speed, causing it to be absolutely dazzling.

Boom..

Both mecha's armor collided and, utilizing the recoil, both of them jumped backwards at the same time. Skeleton's alloy knife and Magical Bird's legs were both still undamaged..

Boom…

The ground was filled with explosions, and both mecha somersaulted backwards to dodge the meteorite bombardment.

The audience was awestruck as they watched quietly. What in the world had just happened?

The real Magical Bird was sitting in the VVIP's room, astonished. He originally thought that his opponent was just a rich second generation kid burning money for fame, but to his surprise, he turned out to be a highly skilled fighter. If he was to be replaced and was put in that situation in that kind of harsh environment, it would be pretty good if he could even perform at 30% of his usual performance.

One could not casually consider themselves to be a true expert. A true expert would be unaffected even in the face of harsh environments. In this case, the Wargod No. 1 only possessed a brittle mech armor, and the environment encountered would be more than capable of slaying over 90 percent of those so-called "true experts" if they were placed in a situation like this.

Young Deer and Bubbly Foam looked at each other. Young Deer looked like he had just drank a hundred cans of Redbull and was incredibly excited. "Did you see that? He is a highly skilled fighter! I am referring to Magical Bird. He is the definition of a dark horse. There are a lot of people who are able to pilot the Wargod No. 1, but only true experts like him are able to survive."

Young Deer was feeling prideful.

As the two mecha were avoiding the meteorite strikes, at the lower left corner of the visual screen, a small video displayed the playback of the previous collision.

The moment when Magical Bird kicked Skeleton's hand, instead of dropping the alloy knife, Skeleton instead used the force of the knockback to rotate the knife in a circular motion around the mech's palm with his dexterous fingers. After eight rotations, he managed to mitigate the force entirely and grasped the knife in a reverse grip in preparation for a follow up strike.

Though Magical Bird's kick seemed to have been done in a moment of desperation, at that instance, his leg then swept downwards instead of continuing to lash out, knocking the alloy knife out of Skeleton's grip. Even up till that point, no one had landed a decisive strike on each other.

After exerting so much energy to create that most brutal kick, surprisingly, Magical Bird still had the energy and control to modify the movement of his kick into a leg sweep.

In one attack, both of them had made at least three predictions of the opponent's next move and had even made at least three minor movements in their mecha in anticipation of the next attack.

Bubbly Foam mimicked Skeleton's actions subconsciously, but her fingers got tangled up in no time. Even if it was done on an impulse, needless to say, to do the same thing on a mech would be a tall order.

Wang Zheng was excited because this opponent was the strongest he had ever faced. The opponent's identity was unimportant.

Be it his ability to adapt, or his basic skills, he was ferocious. Furthermore, the opponent clearly did not lack battle experience, and in this aspect, the opponent definitely surpassed him!

This was what he wanted!

After the bombardment of meteorites, the terrain became even more complex. There was a plethora of uneven grounds, ravines, and gullies of different depths and lengths. In fact, even gouts of fire would burst out of the ground every so often.

Skeleton and Magical Bird's mecha were less than 30 meters apart from each other. They stood silently for less than half a second and then laser guns were fired simultaneously.

They made exactly the same decision…

Boom….

When the laser guns were fired, both Wargod No. 1s dodged at the same time.

30 seconds passed with constant laser attacks and dodges being executed by both sides. Everyone knew how devastating Skeleton's laser attacks could be; they were so accurate that they almost could not be dodged. But his opponent, Magical Bird, did not seem to be fazed by it.

Among the professionals, Magical Bird was known to be a sniper.

However, firing lasers at melee range was a completely different task compared to long distance laser sniping. If a highly skilled fighter, like Magical Bird, could perform like this, he did not simply lie in the realm of a Diamond rank. In fact, he would most certainly be that of the King rank! He could be acclaimed as a God!

This person….. was clearly not Magical Bird?!

A lot of people were doubtful and uncertain of his true identity, but clearly this was not important anymore.

Both mecha had been maintaining a distance of 30 meters apart from one another, and they were constantly making a wide array of high level dodging movements within a five meter radius.

Close range laser attacks were undoubtedly exciting and dangerous. Not only did one have to attack, he had to dodge as well. Switching up the frequency and rhythm of attacks was necessary to disrupt the opponent's predictions.

These movements could not be done by most people, and the problem was, these two pilots still had to pay attention to the environment!

In this vile environment, even a wrong step could be fatal! Let alone focusing on switching up the rhythm and pacing of their attacks!

On the contrary, while the two of them were concentrating on retaliating, their mecha seemed like they were merely walking on flat ground.

Unwittingly, both mecha approached one another gradually and the frequency of lasers fired were getting lower as every shot was fired more cautiously. This was mainly because of the lack of stability of the mech on the hazardous terrain. At this point, whoever shot first would lose the upper hand and thereby lose the ability to threaten the opponent. Hence, every shot had to be fatal.

Lear laughed. Could the opponent really think he was that good? His warm up was finally completed; it was time to end this.

"Bo… Boss, breaking a million viewers…."

The staff stammered while looking at the screen number. The number of VIPs broke a million. It was a new record.

Within a short period of five minutes, a large amount of viewers had joined, and people were in admiration of Solon. The new simulation system was indeed a huge gimmick, and in such a short time, it had managed to attract so much attention.

Most unexpectedly, the vile environment had no effect against these two contenders.

When the distance between the two mecha was around 10 meters, Magical Bird's movements changed instantly.

A 'hum' sound was produced by the mech. At this point, it seemed as though gravity had lost its effect on Magical Bird's Wargod No. 1 as he quickly traversed the distance between them in less than 0.2 seconds. It had to be noted that the two had used less than 0.5 seconds to fight in this confrontation.

This moment of ascension was fatal.

Magical Bird had managed to gain the upper hand in this game of rhythm, and at this point, his laser gun radiated resplendently.

Boom boom boom boom….

In an instant, five intense shots were blasted. A huge, glowing X could be seen shooting towards Skeleton.

Everyone was shocked. Just who was this freak???

Yasopp's X Melee Killing Move!

A perfect aperture!

Within 1.5 seconds, a continuous burst of lasers were fired with the laser gun at the center of it. If the distance was less than 0.5 meters, it would be a deadly melee technique!

It was definitely impossible to dodge the attack!

Young Deer jumped up excitedly. "Wahahahaha, Skeleton, you are surely going to lose this round!"

Yasopp's X Melee Killing Move was not merely firing five laser shots in an X shape. Many people were able to mimic the X form of attack, but the crucial elements lay in the shooting time, angle, and distance. Each of these three elements had very strict requirements and thus this move had the highest form of melee and marksmanship requirements in order to achieve absolute lethality.

After so many years on Earth, it was the first time it appeared on CT!

Once this particular move was revealed, in the vicinity of Earth, it was definitely invincible! However strong you were, there would always be someone stronger!

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 did not budge as the real X Melee Killing Move could not be dodged and it had reached its limit. The executor of the move would definitely be pushed to their limits, while the defender of the move would conversely be pushed to the limits of despair.

But Wang Zheng did not feel despair.

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 fiercely leaped off the ground as the engine roared. It was a forceful controlling of the mech!

But it was still to no avail. No matter how he much he pushed the mech, he was still unable to dodge the attack.

Everyone was holding their breaths in the Skeleton Corps. Rainbow was about to suffocate after holding his breath for such a long time.

Rainbow tightly clenched his fist. This bastard was clearly a highly skilled fighter from the army. If anyone was able to mimic Yasopp's X Melee Killing Move, he or she would definitely be promoted to be an ace in the army!

It seemed easy, but truthfully it was difficult to master.

Who was this fellow!?!

After the execution of the fatal move, one should savor the defeat of his opponent.

Boom…

A laser shot was fired at the Wargod No. 1's left leg, causing it to explode. Fortunately, the alloy knife was able to block the other shot. However, it caused the alloy knife to fly out of his grip.

This was compounded by the fact that Skeleton was unable to grip his alloy knife after the forceful control of his mech.

He was finished!

Although Rainbow and the rest seemed to be waiting patiently, their hearts were turning icy-cold. Both of them were almost equally matched. Hence they could not afford to lose their legs and alloy knives even if they had to forgo their arms. Skeleton was utterly finished this time.

The majority of the people closed their eyes. Although there had only been eleven games, by now, it was as though people's dreams were becoming a reality.

However, dreams couldn't last forever. It was just that everyone hoped that it would not have ended so quickly!

Solon went pale. He thought he had everything under control, including winning the gamble earlier on. But little did he know that there would be such a formidable opponent. He had served for many years, yet none as impressive as this one had appeared!

That bastard's Yasopp X Melee Killing Move!

The mechanical leg was flying tragically in mid air as the sparks splashed across the battlefield. The whole situation was very similar to his career and dreams, flying away.

Although the alloy knife blocked a fatal laser shot, it looked as though the result had still managed to sway Skeleton's mental state.

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 seemed to have lost its soul and fell to its knees.

However, at this point, Lear had a bad premonition for what was going to happen. He was getting goosebumps and his hairs stood on end. This feeling had only occurred twice in his lifetime. Alas, this was the second time!

Not Good!

As the one-legged mech fell to its knee, it then sprang forward like a spring that was being compressed and released in an instant.

Ceng…

Skeleton's Wargod No. 1's engine roared and the armor creaked noisily… Was this manual control???

A laser gun was brandished!

Yes, the laser gun was still available, meaning there was one more chance for Skeleton to attack. There was hope because Skeleton's marksmanship was strong as well!

But instead, a meteorite landed in front of the two mecha, blocking their paths forward.

Lear quickly made a decision as he had never ignored his hunches. This was definitely right.

However, just as Lear moved, Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 fired.

Yet this attack was not aimed!

Everyone was feeling desperate. The match was like an reenactment of the previous fight, Skeleton vs Qiangsen, where he made full use of the environment.

In the previous match, Skeleton was the one who initiated the attack. But in this round, Magical Bird forced Skeleton into a defensive position.

In such a thrilling situation, this warrior's heart remained calm and collected, just like the relationship of snow and ice.

Finished.!

Boom…

Sparks flew in every direction.

Skeleton WIN!

The battle had ended.

It was so silent that even if a pin dropped on the floor, one would be able to hear it.

Young Deer was jumping around in mid air before he stumbled and fell onto the floor. It was akin to a deer prancing around in the forest before getting shot in the head and falling to the ground

In the battlefield, Magical Bird's Wargod No. 1 had exploded.

The sight of the sparks was piercing, but all that was left on the other side was a one-legged Wargod No. 1 surrounded by flames. Everything stood still.

Three minutes had passed in complete silence with no one saying anything.

Whispers ensued in the arena. What had just happened?

He managed to counterattack the Yasopp X Melee Killing Move?

Did Magical Bird make a mistake??

The livestream replayed Magical Bird's final fatal move on a big screen with the match's statistics in a red box in the corner of the screen.

Without a doubt, it was a perfectly executed killing move!

It was also the first of its kind on Earth's arena!

It was known as a legendary gunnery technique – a sure kill technique. Furthermore, it had been executed perfectly. How could it have failed?

As though there was nothing wrong, Skeleton blasted into the skies. Yes, he managed to dodge three shots, but as for the other two shots, he blocked one shot and got hit by the other one.

There was nothing left to see; the performance should have ended there.

The one-legged Wargod No. 1 had then landed on the ground. However, it seemed to have withstood the huge force on it as it fell. In the slow motion camera, once the mech touched the ground, the Wargod No. 1's engine burst out with full power instantaneously. On the right-hand side of the screen, the red box displayed the engine's energy statistics. The moment Skeleton's Wargod No. 1 landed, the engine rumbled to its peak without a doubt, demonstrating his excellent control!

It was then that a miracle happened.

He used his left leg as a pivoting point, and in combination with his excellent control, the mech utilized the momentum to accelerate his movement to its peak. At that instant, he fired off a laser!

In the midst of roaring noise came a furious shout….

S*t!!!!!

A beautiful arc was drawn in the air by the movement of the laser shot!

It had completely bypassed the meteorite, falling inbetween the two!!!

After the slow motion camera had played the video, the entire audience had fallen into a tranquil silence.

Legend has it that in the entire Milky Way Galaxy, there were only less than 10 people who could reproduce the Arched Shot technique!!!

These few people were destined to become gods of war, the treasure of each alliance.

Shouts erupted in cheer as the audience was whipped into a frenzy!

It was the invincible rhythm of a god!

Solon's face turned from white to an intense red in an instant. He then jumped on top of the table and roared like King Kong in his excitement. "Sh*t, sh*t, shi*t! This is it! Just like that! Just like that! ARGHHHHHH!"

So what if he was the president of the CT association? Nothing else was as important as this!

Only when one felt despair could there be hope. It represented everything!

The staff in the office jumped around in euphoria and everyone hugged each other.

The number of viewers in the live VIP broadcast skyrocketed and broke 1.5 million views and was trending on online forums.

This was the first usage of the simulation system in the Solar System, and two amazing things happened. Firstly, Yasopp's X Melee Killing Move was showcased, and the other was the godly Arched Shot technique!

Two legendary skills had debuted on Earth.

The Arched Shot, on the other hand, was truly astounding. It was undeniably the first time it was seen in the Solar System!

This was the rhythm of a god! This was the strength of a god!

Wang Zheng removed the tactile interface and closed his eyes slightly while attempting to reminisce the feeling of that last shot he fired. Bonehead had spent three years to devise a special training regime for him to adapt to the water, earth, wind, and air. He had been through all of the training sessions on multiple occasions. Indeed, he had endured all the training and hardship, but still lacked the ability to advance to the second level. Although he had yet to advance to second level, the skills he learned from the first level were much better compared to before, and his understanding of the environment was even more profound.

A slight light could be seen inside his eyes. This was actually a form of physical energy. As he was inside the virtual servers of CT, he could not tap into its power. Conversely, if the same battle happened in reality, he would have been able to adapt to it even quicker.

In the eyes of ordinary people, his technique was incredible. However, to Bonehead, it was still miles away from what he expected.

Although Bonehead was a robot, Wang Zheng felt that Bonehead yearned for the revival of the Rand Empire and possessed the qualities of a soldier.

Wang Zheng was a little stunned, but he was also curious at the same time. Just how great was this empire of his?

The battle had ended. Wang Zheng wasn't in the mood for interviews as he needed a good night's rest before the events of the next day.

Lin Huiyin?

It would definitely be difficult to get along with this arrogant lady. But fortunately, Ye Zisu was around, and she would be able to solve any issues that arose.

Wang Zheng bade farewell to the Boss but was instead completely ignored. He was considered a regular customer and could just leave the money on the counter.

Nearly a hundred people had gathered around a big screen to watch the replay of the battle. To fully immerse oneself in the experience, one had to either watch it in the VIP area, or watch it with a group of like-minded individuals.

Wang Zheng didnt care about the competition and walked out of the internet cafe before he gazed at the sky. Hopefully, Aina was living a better life!

Wang Zheng did not take public transport back home but ran instead.

Bubbly Foam gently patted Young Deer's shoulder. Young Deer looked as though he was in his own world as he stood there completely dazed.

The highs and lows of the battle were too stimulating. Although Young Deer's heart was firm, this had clearly surpassed the limits of what he could take.

"Arched…gunnery….arched….gunnery…."

As a commentator, Young Deer had three years of experience and was a senior. He had always been eager to witness legendary skills, skills that were rarely seen on Earth. He was an enthusiast when it came to the different kinds of special skills used by the mech pilots. When the Yasopp X Melee Killing Move appeared, he was absolutely excited. But amongst all the skills he had witnessed, the skill that mesmerized him the most was the Arched Shot. It was a super skill that violated the conventional laws of physics. Furthermore, the execution was extremely beautiful, and it would be more accurately said to be a piece of art!

That beautiful arc, which pierced through the sky, had also managed to finally change Young Deer's persistent attitude.

"Old Deer, Old Deer, are you okay?"

Bubbly Foam felt that something was amiss. Hopefully nothing was wrong.

"What do you think? Is he truly a god?"

Young Deer asked abruptly.

Bubbly Foam went blank. "Old Deer, are you alright? There is no god here."

Bubbly Foam debuted as a commentator not long ago with her beautiful appearance and professional abilities in the CT scene and hence was more willing to accept alternative opinions. Young Deer, on the other hand, was a stubborn person. He was knowledgeable, but because of his vast experience, he became stubborn and remained unconvinced of many things.

But that one shot had completely destroyed Young Deer's stubbornness. Each and every commentator had hoped that one day someone would perform such a skill and to bring glory for the people on Earth.

Today, that dream was finally attained. Furthermore, two high level techniques had been shown for the first time.

Once Bubbly Foam saw that Old Deer was fine, she continued to summarize the battle for today. Skeleton had once again performed a miracle on stage, and the legend lived on.

Lear sat quietly in front of the large video screen, motionlessly watching the replay of the battle, and he even watched the analysis.

The caretaker looked on silently from a corner. He was completely baffled. Before the competition began, he thought that this guy was a little interesting and was a suitable opponent to practice with. Little did he expect such an ending….

Lear quietly analyzed every action and every detail of the battle. In hindsight, the only point where he had been suppressed was that last moment.

Was it even possible to dodge the Arched Shot?

It was definitely possible to do so, but he had made a mistake. He thought that victory was in his hands. After assessing his opponent's situation, he had assumed that the meteorite had blocked the crippled opponent's line of sight. However, the battlefield was constantly changing.

The difference was less than that of a hair's breadth!

Failed! He had actually failed!

Moreover, he had made such a stupid mistake!

"Have you discovered who this man is yet?"

Lear asked solemnly.

"Young Master, I'm afraid this man has an unfathomable background. We tried to trace his background, but it was to no avail. If we had gone any deeper, we would have crossed the line, so our only choice was to give up."

Drupp said apprehensively.

Lear paused and nodded his head. With such strength, he was definitely not an ordinary person, and a large organization must be behind him.

Who could it be then?

The Earth was his power and territory. Who would interfere with that?

Perhaps this guy was deliberately trying to cause him trouble?

Was it the guy from Mars or was it the other brat from the Moon?

Thinking of Masasi, he thought that the guy from the Moon was more likely to be the troublemaker.

In this case, who was the scalpel?

Lear went into deep thought.

"You may leave. Increase tomorrow's training by three times!"

Lear waved his hands. Failure had a price!

Drupp left and Lear switched off the broadcast. He opened the door to the gravity chamber and increased the gravity to eight times normal and dashed in.

Beast-like roars echoed from within the gravity chamber.

Concurrently, Wang Zheng was running to the stall near school to have his supper. In no time, he had five empty bowls by his side, and the total cost for his supper was only 20 dollars. Life was amazing.

CT VIP audience numbers had been increasing and finally stopped at 1.8 million views, a new record for Asia.

The real Magical Bird had also walked out of his seat. Magical Bird was a veteran in the diamond rank, and a lot of people were familiar with him. If he truly possessed such skills, he would have long become a god.

Magical Bird wasn't able to pretend anymore and came forward to admit that the guy on the battlefield wasn't him but a mysterious friend who wished to remain anonymous and had only hoped to fight with Skeleton.

Simply a friend who could execute Yasopps X Melee Killing Move and could utilize the Wargod No. 1 to perfection.

With that person's skills, he would have a straight path to the top. Yet who would have expected that mysterious friend to fail? Facing the Arched Shot, this war god had to take a step back to let another war god advance.

The most important element of the fight was Skeleton's ability to pilot the Wargod No. 1. Even with one leg, he was able to move the mech in such a way to attain victory. It was simply a god-tier movement.

A lot of people were not satisfied after watching the battle for the first time and went in VVIP to experience the battle again. In VVIP, it was more immersive; it was as though one was truly inside the battlefield, feeling the heat and the tremors of the ground. Altogether, it felt different compared to ordinary CT. It was more violent, more enjoyable, and this battle environment alone was enough to entice people.

Simulating an environment was what everyone wanted all along. Before, most of the players were dissatisfied with the environment as it didn't provide any challenge. However, there was no need to go to the extent of fully emulating cruel reality. Yet surprising changes always made training more interesting.

Surprising One Shot, Skeleton's God-Tier Skill!

The Solar System Federation's First Arched Shot! The Legend is Real!

Mysterious Skilled Fighter Loses! Skeleton Proclaimed to be Invincible!

Discussions of all sorts had exploded in all of the major community forums. The standard of battle was exceptional, especially after seeing the crazy control of skills.

The Skeleton Corps was celebrating in their base. The battle was hard fought with lots of dangerous moments, but eventually Skeleton attained victory. The final skill had turned the tide of the battle. Although the fake Magical Bird was in the lead at first and possessed the absolute advantage, he made a mistake and lost the battle.

In the girls' dormitory, An Mei and the girls had snacks strewn all around the place, eating while watching the duel. As military school girls, they were knowledgeable enough to analyse the fight and loved these kind of duels. Even the girls thought that Skeleton was sure to lose, but he managed to make a comeback.

Chapter 82: Whispers From the Earth

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"These two must be elites from the military, or else they would not have been able to use such skills!"

"Who is it that could possibly be so free? Whoever he is, I think we should all meet him."

A few girls were chattering away. Soon, the conversation topic shifted to whether Skeleton was a man or woman.

An Mei felt that Skeleton was most likely a woman. Skeleton was calm while fighting and was meticulous in executing fighting techniques. That was a sign that Skeleton was a female warrior.

Meanwhile, while Wang Zheng was having a good sleep, a sudden cold breeze caused him to sneeze a couple of times. In the dormitory, Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were sleeping as soundly as night owls. Although the military regime in college had just started, they were both experts in their field. Otherwise, they could not have lasted this long.

In the beginning, the two of them led battles, but they were on losing streaks. Their logical and military prowess immediately vanished once they started fighting. It seemed that they were men of logic, unsuitable for battles.

While Wang Zheng was still snoring on his bed, the two men glanced at him. Rumor had it that Wang Zheng had fallen out of love. Ailun and Chen Xiu thought nothing of it… at this age, they were still single. Experiences in romance was a good thing, no matter the outcome.

Zhang Shan had yet to return. The crazy guy was still training at this hour. The fighting factor in his genes was triggered. In other words, he was on route to greater and greater improvement, and he would strive for it by all means.

The three military colleges' exchange program had barely ended, and news of Masasi dropping out had attracted quite a lot of attention.

The elites that were the pride and joy of Ares College had mostly left. While Gu Te had been trying his best to keep them in the college, Masasi felt that college life was not all that suitable for him.

He attracted fame and admiration with his battle performances, but he was actually a low-key individual who preferred to be alone. Hence he had planned to leave without a sound. Ironically, his departure caused quite a lot of discussions around campus.

On his journey to the Moon through the lunar ladder, Masasi had with him only a simple backpack. Through the glass window of the space station, one could clearly see the planet Earth. For Masasi, his time on Earth was a memorable part of his life.

The Skylink sounded and Masasi accepted the call. A beautiful-looking girl with short hair appeared. She was in a silvery suit that was the same color as the surface of the moon.

"Why? Are you still feeling nostalgic?" Milo ridiculed.

Masasi grinned. "Planet Earth is indeed very beautiful."

"Are you talking about the human culture on Earth? Did you became more sentimental after your trip to Earth? What about earthlings? How do you find their standards?"

"At best a C I would say. The average standard of an earthling is not high, but there are a few who are indeed capable. Lear, for example, is very strong."

"Haha, an opponent worthy of your attention should be someone of high standards. It is always good for us to know our opponents well. Return quickly, everyone is here. When you see it, our gathering will show that we still have the highest standards."

Milo smiled sweetly.

Suddenly, Wang Zheng came to Masasi's mind. That guy… he was childish, yet there was something else about him that led to that miraculous battle.

"What happened? Did something happen?"

"I believe I might have found him," Masasi said lightly.

Milo asked, "Are you certain?"

"Not yet, I am still investigating. The person I am talking about only has a gene score of 28 and good physical standards, but he does not possess Ability X."

Masasi shrugged his shoulders.

"My intuition may not be accurate, but I am pretty sure that a person without Ability X will not be able to last that long in space. It should not be him."

The two talked for a while longer. They both had good understanding about the forces of the solar system, including the elites of the younger generations of the various planets.

However, the image of Wang Zheng continued to float in Masasi's mind. Wang Zheng had a beautiful record, but frankly speaking, Masasi was equally capable and might even be stronger than Wang Zheng. But none of these mattered. After his contact with Wang Zheng, Masasi still could still not paint an accurate picture of him.

When the space shuttle came to a halt, Masasi took a last look at Earth. There were some whom he would definitely have the fate to meet again.

To meet as his future opponents that is.

Wang Zheng was up early. He had completely recovered his strength and was back to his daily routine – classes and trainings. There was no notice from Aina, but Yan Xiaosu looked relieved as Wang Zheng looked like he was back to normal.

Student Yan was most concerned about getting a response from him. The thought of a reply would bring much joy to him and An Mei.

In the afternoon, the four of them ate lunch together. Zisu was there too. She was unsure about how she should have been feeling about Aina's departure. She had long been expecting this outcome, but the thought of it actually happening made her a little disheartened.

Everyone in the dorm was gossipping. Instead of being happy that her love rival had left, Zisu was still mad at An Mei. At this point in time, Zisu should have quickly stepped up her game with Wang Zheng, even if Wang Zheng was still disheartened by his breakup. It was strange how Zisu was so fond of Wang Zheng. There was nothing really special about that guy, except that he was street smart and occasionally lucky.

From what Xiaosu knew, Zisu and Wang Zheng may have been school mates, but they were not personally close and had barely any private interactions.

Could it have been love at first sight?

Ye Zisu was not an impulsive girl. No matter who it was, for a girl to silently watch over a boy for four years definitely meant that he had a special place in her heart.

Her pride and self esteem stopped her from confessing after all this time. Ye Zisu often thought that if it was not for her fear of being ridiculed by Yue Jing, she might have already been together with Wang Zheng.

Ye Zisu suddenly paused her eating and asked, "Wang Zheng, Huiyin is about to arrive. Where are you planning to take her?"

For a moment, An Mei and Yan Xiaosu froze for a moment. "What did you say? Lin Huiyin??"

It was in the nature of girls to form cliques, even a group of four could be split into two smaller cliques. In the dormitory, Ye Zisu was closer to An Mei, while Meng Tian and Qing Qing were a pair.

"It was a mission that the school arranged. Wang Zheng and I are to be representatives of the college. The thing is, I am not sure what she likes."

Wang Zheng slapped his head. "Oh, I forgot about it."

The three of them looked at each other, Yan Xiaosu was enraged. If not to conceal the secret, he would have left in rage.

"Boss, Lin Huiyin, Lin Huiyin, " Yan Xiaosu said, looking displeased.

Wang Zheng laughed. "An Mei, can you control him? He is acting so arrogantly now in front of us."

Wang Zheng had a blank expression and then gave Yan Xiaosu a thumbs up. "Roger".

Yan Xiaosu laughed gloriously like a pot of blossoming chrysanthemum flowers.

"It is difficult to serve big stars; we will have to adapt to them."

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

"Same, I do not think this is going to be a good mission."

"You two really don't know how to appreciate this opportunity. If only I was the one assigned to this task. First, I'd get a hundred autographs from her and sell each at 10,000 dollars! You will be able to get a million bucks!"

Tyrant Su immediately looked for an opportunity for profit.

Yan Xiaosu brought joy wherever he went. This guy was also coming up with crazy ideas that surprised everyone.

At this point, in the distant planet of Aslan, the whole planet was preparing for the grand celebration of Aina's return – the princess's ritual of adulthood.

Without a doubt, the entire Milky Way was celebrating the festival dedicated for unwed youths. During the banquet, Her Royal Highness would lead the first toast. The topic of who would have the honor of becoming her partner was the biggest and most debated topic right now.

Amongst the Aslan Empire's royal family of dignitaries, every unwed male from any important household was fighting for a chance to be on the list. A dance with the Princess on this special occasion would definitely leave her with a lasting impression, regardless of whether he would get the opportunity to be with Princess Aina in the future.

Although there was still some time before the celebration, the atmosphere was as lively as ever, even more so than that of Easter.

Kashawen looked over at the ever-so-calm princess Aina, brimming with happiness. She knew that Aina was capable of this; Aina understood the overall situation and was realistic, even more so than Huiyin.

Aslan needed a great queen, and Aina had to uphold the values and virtues of a queen, and that meant a great sacrifice for Aina.

"Aina, the royal family is already starting preparations. Tell us if you have any special requests; we will try our best to fulfill your wishes."

Aina smiled. "It may be my adult ritual, but this festival is for everyone. My only wish is for everyone to be happy."

"Silly girl, there may be many others celebrating this occasion as well, but of course, yours is the most important. You are one of a kind in the Milky Way." Kashawen understood Aina well. Aina's mother died during childbirth while the King was busy ruling over the empire, and she was the one who brought Aina up since she was a baby.

Aina maintained a faint smile. Kashawen understood that a young girl experiencing her first love would not return to reality immediately. "Aina, let me ask you a question… If you own a piece of property, you can sell it at $100,000 now, but if you wait three years, you can sell it at $1,000,000. Would you choose to sell it now or after three years?"

"Of course after three years."

Kashawen smiled and nodded. She believed that Aina would understand. Three years later, she would not choose the same option. It may not matter to ordinary girls, but she was from a different world. She was the symbol of Aslan, and she could not afford to make any mistakes.

Aina blinked her eyes. She naturally understood what Kashawen was referring to. Kashawen was known as the Iron Fisted Prime Minister with a very direct style of governing, and he was very influential.

"Aunt, then let's make the celebration grander. I want to enjoy this occasion with everyone."

"Haha, don't worry, the head of the Milky Way Union and the chief commander of the military will be there. Of course, there will be other important figures there, because to be present for your adult ritual shows respect and dignity for our Empire."

Kashawen's tone was filled with pride towards Aslan. These values were carved deep into the bones of every Aslan citizen.

It was this self-pride and self-reliance that led everyone to strive for greater progress and build a strong and proud country. Aslan was not only a great empire. Every citizen had the spirit of self-sacrifice, and this achieved an Aslan that was inviolable.

Kashawen believed in Aina. Ever since she arrived, Aina did not have any contact with the planet Earth. Moreover, Keshawen did not believe that there was a candidate worthy of Aina in that forsaken place.

After getting used to luxury, one might occasionally feel like smelling the dirt.

Chapter 83: Big Brother Has Not Lost His Love!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The moon radiantly shone as it watched Skeleton and Magical Bird's fight.

"Artos, who do you think this Magical Bird could be?"

Artos crossed his two legs. A triangular patch of hair could be seen on his shiny, bald head. It was rather outrageous. However, it was known to be one of the most popular hairstyles on Mars.

"Milo, when did you start becoming interested in such things? These are nothing more than the fantasies of these wayward degenerates."

Lear Cronos then replied, "When will Masasi be back? We are just missing him. There's nothing much on Earth."

"Keke, Artos, you should buy yourself a wig. Be careful and hope that the Boss does not pluck your head off." Milo laughed. "Masasi should already be on his way back."

Milo was very interested in the CT battle between those two individuals. That Yasopp's X Melee Killing Move was just too perfect. Although being able to execute the move in a virtual environment was not particularly impressive, someone who was able to execute it so perfectly must definitely have undergone strict training to do so in reality.

However, even with such a high level of skill, he had still lost to the one with the ID of "Skeleton." That individual was able to use the technique of arched firing even in such a tumultuous environment.

His gun skills seemed rusty. It looked as though the arched firing was not something he practiced often.

Unknowingly, after looking at the one-legged Wargod No. 1, Milo had also felt an urge to do battle.

This ID was very famous in recent days, and Milo had seen his previous battle analyses. Every single one was extremely thrilling. It has to be said that Skeleton remained calm even in the most crucial moments. It did not seem like something a normal person could do.

In their circle, to determine how much a soldier was worth, the first criteria was to see their ability to stay calm. Regardless of the situation, they would have to make the most accurate judgments while remaining cool and collected. Only this would allow them to make correct decisions.

This was also very important for the team as a whole.

A game was ultimately still a game. It had preprogrammed limitations and routines. Milo had also played CT before. She would often expose herself to different things. CT was an extremely easy game to her. Furthermore, she was facing off against Diamond ranked players. Due Milo's commitments, she did not spend much time on the game. The main reason why she was interested was because CT's company had replicated the numerous mecha from around the galaxy very accurately in the game. In order to take a closer look at the company itself, she had tried CT. However, she realized that CT's company's shareholdings were extremely complex. It was a minefield that the average person would not dare to touch and hence she stopped her research there. Furthermore, her military rank had limits as well.

The way she saw it was that what Skeleton had shown in his numerous battles was only his personal skill; he had shown no teamwork at all. One person's ability was limited after all.

However, she was quite interested in testing out his ability in solo combat.

Wang Zheng was now very attentive in school. He did not miss a single Physics nor Mecha Department class. However, Wang Zheng still placed more focus on the Mecha Department classes. The Physics Department's curriculum was dictated by Professor Xiao Fei, but the syllabus was too shallow. In Xiao Fei's words, Wang Zheng's standard in physics was sufficient to allow him to conduct research independently. Furthermore, his theoretical understanding was on par with her's in some aspects. Hence, she did not watch him too closely.

Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu had also began to develop and show off their extraordinary talents. It was not known if their abilities had risen by another level due to being placed in a position with another genius, like Wang Zheng.

Xiao Fei was also interested in nurturing these two talented individuals.

After class, Xiao Fei called Wang Zheng to her office. One could see that she was in a good mood, as her face exuded a resplendent radiance.

"Wang Zheng, I have applied for a patent regarding the Spatial Movement Theory. There are many large companies who are willing to invest. As the hero who inspired this theory, you will also receive a portion."

Xiao Fei said. This beautiful teacher not only had a high IQ but a high EQ. If one merely focused on doing research, they would eventually be stifled to death. The school's support was plentiful, especially when it came to the later stages of developmental research which required large amounts of funding. Even if one were to ask everyone they knew for donations, the amount of funding obtained would not even be comparable!

Alan Tucker was her idol. However, he had made a mistake. He had placed too much trust in the bureaucracy. Thus, when his funding was cut, his efforts all went down the drain.

Xiao Fei had an extremely grand plan in mind. However, she did not plan to tell Wang Zheng much about it.

With regards to the future realization of her theory, Wang Zheng had also felt similar confidence in it. The theory was plausible. It would be an absolutely sensational achievement in the fields of science. However, the difficulty was too large. The amount of funding required for this research would be similarly frightening.

If it did not succeed, it would be no different from money being squandered.

"Professor, are there people who are truly interested in investing? It is quite a risky investment after all."

"Currently, among the numerous influential families, OMG is one of the main ones interested. They are also giving me a large amount of privileges and power to conduct the research. The other families are more demanding with the restrictions set on me. However, earning money is not their key intention. If they are able to support me in completing this research, that alone is worthy of consideration," Xiao Fei explained.

Wang Zheng rubbed his chin. He was quite similar to Xiao Fei in the sense that he felt that this theory held a lot of promise. "Professor, I would also like to invest."

Xiao Fei was shocked as she looked at Wang Zheng blankly. "Are you sure? Just kicking it off would require several hundreds of millions. In the future, this amount will only increase."

Wang Zheng laughed. "To be precise, it would be Yan Xiaosu and I investing."

"If you are willing to participate, that would be even better. I will tell the other investors this as well. However, this decision cannot only be made by me."

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me; I am investing in it for the long run. Also, Lin Huiyin has already arrived. You and Ye Zisu should get ready. She will call for us shortly."

At this point, Professor Xiao Fei had become a fangirl again.

This change in demeanor had left Wang Zheng feeling quite shocked. She could truly transform in the blink of an eye.

After leaving the office, Wang Zheng began to consider how he could use the money he possessed. Currently, the amount he possessed was not small. However, he was still greatly lacking when compared to the total amount needed. He would have to talk to Yan Xiaosu about this.

After Yan Xiaosu heard Wang Zheng's opinions, he was neither shocked nor had an exaggerated look on his face. In fact, he was in deep thought.

"One hundred million is not an exceptionally large amount. The problem is that future research will require increasing amounts of funding. If the period of time for research was large, this would not be a problem. The main problem is this: Boss, how confident are you?" Yan Xiaosu asked.

This theory had already provoked a lot of bustling discussion. Ares College was the in the limelight. However, converting it from theory into a working technology would require large amounts of time. Everyone knew that research and development was a bottomless pit. Only those with extremely large amounts of wealth would dare to do so.

Seeing that Yan Xiaosu had a lot of questions, Wang Zheng smiled. "Why don't you tell me your idea."

"Boss, we also need to talk about how much is shared between us. This is very important. If it is too little, it will have no value in future and it will be extremely difficult to convince my father."

"Why don't you tell me how much the equation is worth if we are able to successfully develop it," Wang Zheng suddenly said.

Yan Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. His small eyes suddenly perked up. "With the uses for this theory, even a five times return would not be considered much."

Wang Zheng waved his hands. "The core equation for the theory would not be worth as much. The entire theory requires the calculation to be promoted. This will be handled by Xiao Fei.

Knowledge was power. Power was wealth. Wang Zheng had never thought that the things the Old Merchant would often ramble about would actually be things of value.

Damned Old Merchant. This could be taken to be the compensation awarded him for running away with the house.

Yan Xiaosu was extremely excited. "Boss, I will discuss this with my father!"

Looking at the spirit in Yan Xiaosu's eyes, Wang Zheng had knew that that fellow had found a way to convince his father.

Old Yan was an extremely nice uncle. The old man treated Yan Xiaosu like a treasure. However, who would have known that sanitary napkins would be so lucrative?

Even if they wanted to invest before, the scientists involved may not have wanted to take the money from Xiaosu's family. A certain threshold had to be reached before investments could be accepted from them. Only those of a certain social status could do so. However, if one had a relationship with Wang Zheng, then this was an entirely different matter. Success or failure would then depend on the heavens.

Yan Xiaosu was also pretty amazed. The Boss had a heart of steel. He had managed to recover so quickly and seemed as though he had even forgotten about Aina.

In truth, he also felt quite regretful. Boss was quite impressive. Aina was Aslan's princess after all, and they were still a perfect match.

One could control a lot of things in life with their own actions. However, one could not control their birth.

After meeting Yan Xiaosu, Wang Zheng went to the MMA club. Meng Tian was now the new president. Ma Xiao was going to graduate. Furthermore, with his disappointing performance in the Tri-College Competition, he had chosen to abdicate voluntarily. Meng Tian becoming the new president was something set in stone. Ever since the celebratory banquet had ended, Wang Zheng had not managed to have a proper talk with Meng Tian.

The members in the MMA club had increased compared to before. The people training had also become more diligent. The Tri-College Competition had provoked and motivated the students. Zhang Shan was now the vice president. That brat was truly quite enthusiastic. He definitely harbored external motives.

However, Meng Tian remained as cold as before. In fact, there were very few things that could attract her attention.

When she saw Wang Zheng stop by, she motioned for her assistant to go train on her own.

"Wang Zheng, you have been quite lazy recently. Could it be that after that small performance, you feel that you can slack off?" Student Meng Tian said very directly, her large eyes watching Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He had been unconscious for three days after all! "Some small things happened and I have just finished settling them."

"I know, Wang Shishi has transferred schools. Even though that's the case, your destiny is your own. Don't waste your heaven-given gifts!"

Finishing which, the beautiful president turned around and walked away, leaving Wang Zheng stunned.

His coming days would be difficult. Why was everyone taking turns to hit him?

However, he knew that the other party was trying to console him. It was just that her method was slightly more crude.

After shrugging his shoulders, Wang Zheng changed his clothes and started to train.

After 10 repetitions with a barbell, someone appeared beside him. Zhang Shan was squatting right next to him.

"Training alone is quite meaningless. Why don't we have a competition?"

Wang Zheng smiled. "Sure. How would you like to compete?"

"It should be a simple one. How about a pushup competition?"

"Sure."

Once people heard of the competition, they immediately stopped their training to look. The two of them were extremely influential people in the college, especially Wang Zheng; he was an extremely mysterious individual. He did not like to participate in collective activities. Meng Tian and Zhang Shan, on the other hand, had already become familiar faces in the crowd.

"社长,帮我们计数."张山说,说着脱掉上衣,露出了爆炸性的肌肉."President, could you please help us count?" Zhang Shan said. Following which he took his shirt off, exposing the rippling muscles beneath it.

Ever since Zhang Shan had started to whole heartedly train, his entire body had become more and more frightening. His body's potential was also being stimulated at an astonishing rate.

Zhang Shan possessed a superior body with an even higher intellect. Hence, he always ensured that his training was optimal. He would not train mindlessly and hence the results would be even greater.

Chapter 84: For Aslan

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The students were all lost in chatter. Zhang Shan had a pretty great figure, and his presence attracted quite a few girls. Good looks, tall and bulky, one of the top students in Physics, hailing from a family of prestigious Scientists. He was a man of class no matter how you looked at him. Once noticed by girls, he'd have plenty of suitors coming after him.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan adjusted their breathing. Wang Zheng enjoyed challenges too. In reality, Zhang Shan was not suited for push-ups. He had a larger build, making it more of a burden for him. But Zhang Shan was not willing to compete in terms of strength. There was no fun in taking advantage of others.

Very soon, a hundred pushups had passed. The two of them still shared the same pace and maintained a consistent breathing rhythm.

Zhang Shan glanced at Wang Zheng. This lad had pretty good stamina.

"Let's do something challenging."

Zhang Shan said, as he pushed himself up.

"One handed?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Shan switched to one handed pushups. Wang Zheng quickly followed suit. The level of difficulty of using one hand to do pushups instantly increased. They kept their pace and did another hundred.

Even in the present world of enhanced physical qualities and eugenics, their performance was fantastic. Especially considering the fact that they were still students.

Meng Tian watched them in silence. Zhang Shan was trying his best to control his breathing, but it was obvious that he was having a harder time. Meanwhile, Wang Zheng's breathing was still consistent and extremely deep.

In the blink of an eye, they'd done 200 pushups. Both had swapped to the other hand in between, and applause ruptured around them. These two were insane!

When they crossed the three-hundred mark of single-handed push-ups, Zhang Shan's breathing was evidently heavier. His naked torso was full of perspiration, making him stand out even more.

400. Zhang Shan's breathing was starting to become messy, but he persevered through it. Damn. This lad seemed scrawny; how was he so strong?

The applause and cheers continued. At 490, Zhang Shan could not hold on any longer. He wobbled and collapsed flat on the ground. He turned over, stared into the ceiling, and panted heavily.

The floor was soaked wet. Wang Zhang stood up, stretched out his arm to help Zhang Shan up. Zhang Shan waved him off. "You freak… let me catch my breath."

Wang Zheng's face was flushed. He was perspiring too, but he was steady. Meng Tian did not find it surprising. She had seen him train. This man could do pushups with one finger.

Ye Zisu once said that ever since high school, he trained regardless if it was rain or shine, every single day. His determination was shocking. Ye Zisu was attracted by his quality of seriousness and could not help but fall for him.

"Zhang Shan, I've told you you're not his match. With his strength and stamina, he'd be one of the top few even in the military." Meng Tian smiled.

The team members standing around were stunned. Some of the men came for Meng Tian. Admiring pretty girls while training was also a pleasurable experience.

"I have to battle even if I do know the result! How can I give up? I'm a man!" Zhang Shan argued.

Wang Zheng pulled Zhang Shan up on his feet. "You're welcome to challenge me any time."

Zhang Shan was indeed physically fit. He had just burned a great deal of energy, but it only took him five minutes to recover. Wang Zheng trained for another hour before leaving. When there were many people around, Wang Zheng would mainly do recovery training. When he trained to a certain extent, he would be able to feel each of his cells being stimulated by the activities. He would feel them giving out energy. He was not sure if it was just an illusion, but ever since the Rubik's Cube had appeared, he no longer cared about such things and trusted what he felt.

Watching him, Zhang Shan's jaw dropped. Damn, what a living freak! Just how did he train?

No wonder Meng Tian saw him in a different light. Zhang Shan was a straightforward person. He confessed his feelings for Meng Tian straight to her face. Meng Tian was even more straightforward with him. She had told him that she would consider his proposition only if he could beat Wang Zheng.

So Zhang Shan lost in a straightforward manner. But he felt good even though he'd lost. Zhang Shan was a stubborn man. Now that he had a goal to work towards, he felt more motivated than ever.

In the chairman's office, Zhang Shan was admiring the set-up. The design was meticulous, as though done by a girl. Zhang Shan was actually a meticulous person. Wang Zheng, on the other hand, was gulping down mouthfuls of water.

"IG is about to begin. Ares College, due to being the winner of this Exchange, can send four representatives. Masasi has left, so the three of us must attend," Meng Tian said.

IG? Zhang Shan and Wang Zheng looked at each other. "What's that?"

Meng Tian started. These two… They're pretty professional in the work they do, and are not at all slipshod when they're out . But as mech lovers, how could they not know about IG?

"IG is the entrance competition for the Milky Way Galactic Military School. It takes places once every two years. Earth belongs to the Solar System jurisdiction, but in recent decades, barely anyone from Earth was chosen. Their performances were average as well."

"Well then, wouldn't that make it an elites' competition?" Zhang Shan asked, showing great interest.

"Exactly. If given the opportunity to represent the Solar System, you'd be able to see, with your own eyes the strongest players from the different countries in the Galaxy. This year's competition will be held in Aslan, so it's even more competitive than before," Meng Tian explained.

The word "Aslan" struck Wang Zheng deeply.

"When will it begin?"

"Soon. They'll announce a specific date. The preliminaries will be held on the Moon. There's only a limited number of spots every year. Earth gets a place once in a while, but it's mainly monopolised by the Moon and Mars," she replied.

"Tsk. Seems like the standards of the Moon and Mars are pretty average. They never do well. Might as well let us do it!"

Zhang Shan laughed. Indeed, although studying physics was much more meaningful, at the thought of a showdown with greater opponents, he lit up with vigor.

Meng Tian shook her head. "There was a breakthrough in progress last season. A historic achievement of getting into the top 20."

Zhang Shan almost spat. "THAT is a historic breakthrough?"

"That is considered quite a feat. We were usually placed in the hundreds."

"Ha, with us this time, we can definitely make it into Top 10!" Zhang Shan said gleefully.

Meng Tian shrugged. That was blind optimism.

"Do you make it into the competition once selected by the Solar System?" Wang Zheng asked.

Meng Tian laughed. "Of course not! You've got to make it through the disqualifying rounds of the larger districts. There, you'll meet opponents who surprise you and assessment criteria that you'd never have imagined. It's said that the officers who come up with the tests have a thing for torturing future elites. They also have intentions of competing to see who can be the most vicious. It'd be embarrassing if they weren't difficult."

"You MUST let me know when registrations start," Wang Zheng said. He had to grab hold of this opportunity.

"Don't worry, we won't forget you." Meng Tian nodded. "Zhang Shan, you get ready too. The school did not expect us to perform so well this time. That's why I've applied for mech training. Teacher Zhuo Mu will continue to be in charge of us. Even though the conditions are limited, it'd still be good to familiarise ourselves with mecha."

"Damn! This is so great!"

"Don't get too excited just yet. We're bound by the conditions, so the mecha we'll be using are not as good. It's possible that there'll be high class mecha in the matches, so I suggest we strengthen our operation skills, and at the same time go to CT and get to know the functions of the various mecha," Meng Tian said.

Zhang Shan was stumped. "That'd work?"

"Simulation mode is rather great."

"Simulation mode? There's such a thing? How come I've never heard of it?"

"Not in the Solar System. But that doesn't mean it' not available elsewhere. You just have to apply to enter."

Cross System battle?

"Does that mean we can torture the newbies from elsewhere?" Zhang Shan gleamed.

"Ha ha. That'll depend on your abilities. It'd be great if you don't get tortured. Even if you perform excellently here, you'll still have a hard time during the competition."

Meng Tian looked at Wang Zheng. He was calm.

Wang Zheng was currently coming up with ways to get away from the mission of hosting Lin Huiyin. He was truly uninterested in wasting time with a celebrity.

It was easy to think of ways to escape, but it was extremely difficult to turn it down in reality. Xiao Fei killed his hopes at once. Such a publicity opportunity was hard to come by. Moreover, Lin Huiyin had specifically chosen him. Regardless, the Space Time Warp Theory made him famous, and he was considered a representative of the college now.

Wang Zheng was good for many things, but he plain disliked being in the limelight. How could a young man act like an old man?

One had to make every moment in life count. They would have to give a go at everything.

Meng Tian and Zhang Shan gaped at Wang Zheng, as if he was a freak.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Sigh. You're passing up such a rare opportunity? God. I really have no idea what goes through your mind!"

Zhang Shan was speechless. No sane man would miss out on an opportunity to get up close with Lin Huiyin.

But Meng Tian admired Wang Zheng's way of doing things.

"I'm just worried about the hassle. But it seems like there's no way out. I hope she is not hard to please."

Zhang Shan shrugged helplessly. "You… you really think of yourself as a treasure, don't you? She's just coming here out of courtesy!"

"Haha, I'm really worried she'll fall in love with me!"

Even Meng Tian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Wang Zhang burst out laughing, too.

Lin Huiyin was staying at the Grand Shangri-La Hotel. Undoubtedly, Aslan had shares in this top-notch chain hotel. Everything was pretty great.

Huiyin was even more pompous than Aina. Princesses ought not to be too extravagant, but Huiyin was in the showbiz after all. Everything had to be of a certain standard, and naturally she had underlings to deal with these things.

And in reality, her actual identity indeed needed strict protection.

The concert matters were in full preparation. As for program rehearsals, Huiyin was already very familiar with them. She only had to run through them once more a day before and would be good to go. Her early arrival naturally meant that there was something important to be done.

"Angela, how is the arrangement with Ares College coming along?" Lin Huiyin could not wait.

Just who on Earth made her cousin, whose eyes grew on the crown of her head, be unable to forget? She had given up on so many dreams to come to Earth, only to be dragged back again.

"Yes, your Highness, it is their honor to meet you. Principal Gu Te would like to pay you a visit." Angeli nodded in reply.

Lin Huiyin's true identity was not a secret to those in the core circle, and they all understood that.

"Kindly reject them on my behalf. I'm just a singer. Also, arrange for the two to come and see me tomorrow."

Lin Huiyin turned around gracefully. Whoever Aina was interested in, she was interested too.

Chapter 85: Huiyin is a Naughty Loli

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In the enormous meeting room, Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh at seeing how Ye Zisu was so unsettled.

"Just look at your evil laugh. Have you got some 'brilliant' idea brewing?"

Wang Zheng waved innocently. "No, it's just that I've never seen you this nervous. Is there a need for such a strong reaction?"

"I love Huiyin's Angelic voice! It's easier to fall asleep listening to her songs."

"To me, only that song 'Not Afraid' has some style. The rest are like lullabies. That little girl's ability is limited."

Wang Zheng laughed. He'd heard quite a few of Lin Huiyin's songs. Her voice was indeed very captivating, but it was not something he'd listen to over and over again. There were no stories to them.

"Careful! Her fans will skin you alive!"

"Whoa, that cruel?" Wang Zheng looked at her with pitiful eyes.

"Not necessarily that cruel. But talking ill behind someone else's back, that, I'll remember."

A crisp and clear voice rang from the entrance. Student Wang froze.

A cheeky girl appeared at the door. In casual wear, with long, wavy blonde hair, she looked like an adorable, exquisite doll. Wang Zheng had never seen such supple skin before. She had an air of freshness in the way she looked. Her big, clear eyes, blinked at him adorably. No one could possibly dislike her.

Angela frowned. How did he dare to say something like that? If they were someplace else, she'd give him a good lecture. How did he dare to speak ill of Lin Huiyin?

Wang Zheng couldn't care less. He'd hoped Lin Huiyin would chase him off. But what a pity, that girl didn't pick on that matter.

"Miss Lin, may I know what you're interested in? We'll take you anywhere you want to go." She was so much better looking in person than on TV! She was absolutely adorable, and Zisu wanted to give her a big hug.

Lin Huiyin flashed a sweet smile. "Sister Zisu, just calling me Huiyin will do. I'm interested in everything you do. What you normally do, I'll have a go!"

Sister Zisu… Ye Zisu's heart melted. She grabbed Lin Huiyin by the hand and started chatting with her non-stop.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. Sigh. He had always had the impression that Ye Zisu was rational and calm. To think she was so easily confounded! Just addressing her as "sister" had won her over completely.

The female escort looked at him with hostility. Wang Zheng did not join them. He waited quietly. He had nothing to do with their girl talk. However, remembering the 'threats' from the beasts in his suite, he could only press on.

The two girls giggled as they chattered away, glancing at Wang Zheng occasionally. He was not too sure what Ye Zisu had said, but it made Lin Huiyin giggle non-stop. Both men and women could not resist the powers of an adorable little girl, let alone the fact that Lin Huiyin was Ye Zisu's idol. Wang Zheng could only imagine himself being sold out completely within the short moment.

"Angela, I'm heading out with Sister Zisu for a moment. Do not follow us."

"Miss, your safety is my responsibility," Angela replied, eyeing Wang Zheng as though he was an enemy.

Seemed like this woman bore grudges. Wang Zheng was being targeted for nothing.

"Don't worry, I came prepared."

She tied her hair up and put on a huge pair of shades that covered half her face. Topped with a cap, nobody could recognize her now.

Angela shook her head insistently. "I will follow you from afar."

Lin Huiyin could only agree. The three of them snuck out from the back door. There was a large group of journalists waiting out in the front.

Lin Huiyin was elated to be out. She could finally relax on Earth despite her fame. This was unlike in Aslan, where people stared at her wherever she went. It was hard for her to even have a whiff of fresh air.

"Wang Zheng, are my songs horrible?" Lin Huiyin asked, her tone all serious.

Wang Zheng was taken by surprise. A cute little girl, yet so serious. "It's not that they're not nice, but I personally prefer songs with a story. Like 'Not Afraid'! That song's pretty good."

Wang Zheng had blurted the words out before Ye Zisu could stop him. He wasn't afraid of offending her, anyway. It'd be even better if she asked him to leave.

"Huiyin, don't listen to him. Wang Zheng has no musical talent. He 's just a war-loving barbarian. What are you interested in seeing?"

"Plenty! I want to know what college students play on Earth. I heard you like to play basketball, and baseball too?" Lin Huiyin asked curiously.

Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu glanced at each other. What does that mean? They enjoy playing it 'too?' These sports originated on Earth.

"Can I take a look?"

"Of course!" Ye Zisu naturally agreed to all her requests. Moreover, Huiyin was just like an adorable little sister no matter how you looked at her. She was way more pleasant than those arrogant celebrities.

Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu did not bring Huiyin to their own school. It was too obvious. Not far from Ares was Beijing University, one of the best universities on Earth. Not a military school, of course.

In terms of size, Beijing University was five times that of Ares College. Ye Zisu knew that place well, apparently having been there often. Wang Zheng was breaking out in perspiration. He didn't even know of the place. To think he was from Beijing!

The three of them did not take a cab, they took the city's rail. Huiyin had earnestly requested to do that so that someone could not even dream of tagging along.

Wang Zheng never would've thought that Ye Zisu's Skylink was installed with a transport card. Given her background, he thought she'd never use the rail transport.

Wang Zheng stared at her. Ye Zisu grinned. "Why, can't I take the rail transport?"

Student Wang was embarrassed. "Nothing. I just thought you'd never take it"

"You must be talking about Yue Jing. Really getting to know somebody isn't just from the way they look!" Ye Zisu said, seemingly implying something else.

Suddenly, Lin Huiyin grabbed Ye Zisu's arm. "Sister Zisu, that tall building looks so cool! Does it produce mecha?"

A huge 'OMG' was written on the top of the building.

Ye Zisu smiled. "Yes, my dear. Are you interested in mecha too?"

"Not in the past. I recently saw a video of a weird Skeleton fighting. It seemed fun," Huiyin replied.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. What 'weird Skeleton?' There was no one else quite as serious as he was.

"The Skeleton is a popular character on Earth. Many people watch his battles live. It's said there's close to 2 million VIPs now. " Ye Zisu liked it very much too. The girls in her dorm would fight to watch almost every single match. Furthermore, her family even produced and repaired mecha!

Lin Huiyin looked at Wang Zheng, half smiling. Student Wang felt cold air blow against his neck. This girl had a weird look.

Beijing University Station. It was said that the gate of the school was carefully designed and built. Beijing University's main entrance could definitely be described as tall, generous, and classy. Having undergone numerous maintenance works, it was a symbol of the University. Foreigners were bound to be astounded by it.

The school was getting crowded. Plus, an integrated university like this one had a population made up of 70% girls. It's said that the ratio of beautiful girls was greater here, too. Quoting the words from a senior at Ares, "attend Ares, flirt at Beijing." The girls at Beijing had a thing or two for the boys from Ares. The two colleges had a long and complex history. It was said that a Beauty Protection Movement was once started by Beijing University, and they demonstrated in Ares, protesting Ares' immoral act of cross-territory flirting. Of course, it was hardly of any use.

" I almost came to school here," Ye Zisu said. Personally, Ye Zisu should have been more inclined to attend Beijing University and not Ares College, where warfare and military matters filled even the air. Plus, considering the aspect of running a business, Beijing would have been a more suitable option for her.

"Why? Did you go to Ares because of a boy you liked, Sister Zisu?"

Lin Huiyin asked out of the blue.

Ye Zisu blushed. Her secrets were exposed. "Nah, I just like mecha."

Lin Huiyin was a couple of years younger than the two and half a head shorter. The trio looked more like elder siblings bringing their little Sister on a tour of the University.

Along the way, Ye Zisu made quite a few heads turn. Even in Beijing, where there were plenty of pretty girls, Ye Zisu was still an exceptional beauty. Moreover, she had put in extra effort in her appearance. She had to be appropriately dressed for her meeting with Lin Huiyin.

In Ares College, there were plenty of training grounds. In Beijing University, however, the ambient was much more youthful and campus-like. People came and went in pairs. It was the season of love. The school alleys filled with cultural significance were something Ares could never match up to. The campus was great, apart from the extravagant main gate.

On the tracks, a number of male students were sweating themselves out. The females watched and cheered them on.

At the baseball auto-feeder, there were both males and females striking at the balls. A suave lad had just hit a homerun. Waves of screams ensued.

The lad waved, and the screams became even more high pitched. When he glanced over and caught sight of them, he walked over immediately.

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly. Fancy bumping into someone they knew here.

Zhao Lingfeng, Mr. Popular from Dawn Middle School. Back in Dawn, Zhao Lingfeng was even more well-known and popular than Wang Zheng was at Ares now. Yan Xiaosu had told Wang Zheng more than once how great it'd be if he could become Zhao Lingfeng.

1.89m. 80kg. All-rounded. Excellent grades. Got into Beijing University as the top student of Beijing's non-military course. High in IQ and EQ.

Judging from the current situation, having made it to Beijing, where there were crouching tigers and hiding dragons, Zhao Lingfeng was still receiving a lot of attention.

"Zisu! Long time no see! Did you finally remember your old friend?" Zhao Lingfeng smiled, his neat, white teeth gleaming. Yan Xiaosu would even dream of plucking a few of his teeth out.

Sigh. Please forgive Student Yan for his evil thoughts.

Ye Zisu didn't expect to see him there either. "Lingfeng, you're still as glamorous as ever. Seems like you've bewitched quite a number of girls here at Beijing University!"

Zhao Lingfeng grinned. "They're nowhere compared to you. This is….?"

Zhao Lingfeng looked blankly at Wang Zheng.

"Aren't you classmates?" Lin Huiyin suddenly spoke.

Only then did Zhao Lingfeng notice Lin Huiyin. The girl's cap was worn low and only half of her face could be seen, but she looked rather cute.

"Wang Zheng. Not in my class, but in my cohort. He and I are both at Ares College."

Ye Zisu glanced at Wang Zheng. He was hardly any different from an invisible man back in middle school.

"Wang…. Zheng, I remember you. Seems like you made it into Ares College."

Zhao Lingfeng exclaimed.

"Just a stroke of luck." Wang Zheng was too embarrassed to say anything more. No one knew his family background, and Zhao Lingfeng was considerate enough not to expose his family matters in front of his classmates.

"Lingfeng, who are these people?" A slender, tall girl with a pony tail donning sports attire walked toward them. It wasn't exaggeration when they said Beijing University was a lover's paradise. Student Wang glanced at her a few more times.

Perhaps it was the workout that made her face turn a reddish glow which exuded a feeling of fitness.

"Qingqing, let me introduce you to Ye Zisu, belle of Dawn Middle School, now part of Ares College's Mecha Department. And Wang Zheng is also Ares College's….. Wang Zheng what's is your specialization right now?"

Halfway through his speech, Zhao Lingfeng realised he didn't really know Wang Zheng.

"Wang Zheng, I am from the Physics Department. Just an ordinary student."

"Hi, I am Liu Qing. I am currently chasing Lingfeng, nice to meet all of you." Liu Qing heartily offered her hand. "And who might this lovely little girl be?"

Zhao Lingfeng stood to one side. A sense of pride could be naturally sensed from him. It was needless to say how attractive he was to girls. No matter where he went, pretty girls would flock around him. He didn't talk about Wang Zheng because he was too lazy to even discuss him, not because he acknowledged his presence. To a certain extent, Wang Zheng was not on his level, and belittling Wang Zheng would only lower his status.

"My name is Xiao Yin and I'm Wang Zheng's distant cousin."

She stepped back and held onto Wang Zheng's arm, which made him unable to move.

Ye Zisu glanced and was mildly surprised. As a real fan of Lin Huiyin, Ye Zisu knew Lin Huiyin didn't like to touch strangers, especially people of the opposite sex. Yet it seemed too natural and casual for Lin Huiyin.

"Hehe, Zisu, it has been a long time since we last met. Let's have a meal together and have a good chat. I am Dawn's alumni president. It has been a while since we met, and it would be nice to have a class gathering."

Zhao Lingfeng stared gleamingly at Ye Zisu. Individuals who had stepped foot into a university were more or less equivalent to entering the true echelons of society. Ye Zisu's identity and appearance had aroused the attention of numerous accomplished males to crave and to conquer her.

Meanwhile, Liu Qing was pondering in deep thought, "Hey, I think I have heard of this friend of yours from somewhere…"

Zhao Lingfeng peeked unnaturally at Liu Qing. With his looks, girls would only swarm over him, but instead Liu Qing had only been staring at Wang Zheng for a long while.

"When Wang Zheng was young and impulsive, he did a lot of shocking things at Dawn and has even been on Beijing's newspaper. You have probably seen him there, which is why he seems familiar."

Zhao Lingfeng said, as he looked at Liu Qing. On one hand, she was indeed attractive, and on the other hand, she could be used to improve his charm. If he was able to steal her heart, he would be able to attract more girls.

Ye Zisu frowned slightly, "Lingfeng, don't talk about the past."

Zhao Lingfeng shrugged and was confused. Why would Ye Zisu get mixed up with that bunch of unsavory people?

Liu Qing had definitely seen Wang Zheng's name somewhere recently, but she couldn't recall where she had seen it.

At one side, there was someone who hit a good shot, and thereupon Lin Huiyin clapped. "Cousin, I want to watch you play a game of baseball."

Wang Zheng sweated because he and Yan Xiaosu often avoided this kind of stuff.

"I don't know, I have never played baseball before."

"Wang Zheng, it's not me who's trying to bring you down. But as graduates of Dawn and since you entered Ares College, we should not bring shame to Dawn. Let me give a demonstration instead."

He grabbed the baseball bat, walked to the striking point, and proclaimed, "Your posture has to be like this, pay attention to your arms and wrists, turn your anger into power, and focus your attention on the incoming ball."

Zhao Lingfeng made a few deliberate movements which were the most standard ones in the field. Zhao Lingfeng was known to be a sports tyrant in school because his genes were above average and he learned exceptionally fast. Not to mention he did all kinds of sports in his leisure time. As Yan Xiaosu once said, this guy was born to be a disaster.

The baseball bat swung forward. Zhao Lingfeng elegantly struck the ball and knocked it flying miles away at the right angle – a beautiful shot. Whereupon huge applause occurred and he made it seem like it was nothing special.

"Wang Zheng, it is your turn." Zhao Lingfeng handed him the baseball bat.

Wang Zheng waved his hand, "I'm here to accompany you, I'm not going to play."

"Cousin, you will not be able to chase a girl like this. I will support you, come on!"

Lin Huiyin was clearly more determined than Wang Zheng, and she gently pushed Wang Zheng. Unfortunately, he could only accept his fate and lightly picked up the baseball bat.

Zhao Lingfeng stood to one side and grinned modestly as he waited for Wang Zheng to make a fool of himself.

Wang Zheng had always felt that baseball was an overly easy sport. Although Lingfeng had hit the ball with his strongest strike, it looked like an amateur's move to Wang Zheng. He felt lazy to participate, and he even felt that a haphazard strike on the ball from him would win cheers from the crowd.

Wang Zheng held onto the baseball bat and spontaneously reenacted the striking pose almost instinctively. Liu Qing, on the sideline, was shocked and even proclaimed that Wang Zheng was pretty good.

Peng….

A high speed ball instantly flew out from the automatic baseball pitching machine. To ordinary people's eyes, it happened in a flash, but in the eyes of Wang Zheng, it was as though the ball was flying in slow motion.

Boom….

There was a loud sound like an explosion, and thereupon, the ball flew up toward the skies, far beyond the sight of any human being.

Wang Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Granny's leg! It seemed like he had used the wrong amount of strength. His mentality wasn't quite right yet; it was as though he was flaunting his strength when he struck the ball.

Students cheered vehemently, "Damn, this is the first time I've seen such a ferocious strike!"

"This guy must be a professional player!"

"Out of 10 people who come to visit, there are 8 or 9 who only come to our school to flirt!"

"Girl, this is infuriating!"

Zhao Lingfeng was a little embarrassed, "Hehe, Wang Zheng's luck is not bad."

"Not bad, I guess. Just like I said, it was probably 'beginner's luck.' It has to be like this."

"Since luck is on your side today, why not play two more rounds and bring further glory to Dawn?" Zhao Lingfeng laughed.

Wang Zheng didn't want to pick a fight with a nobody. However, Zhao Lingfeng didn't know when to stop provoking him. Wang Zheng thought that Lingfeng was here to pick a fight because he had nothing better to do.

"Sure, a rare opportunity."

Followed by three consecutive shots, Wang Zheng was no longer modest in using brute force to strike ball after ball, producing tremendous striking sounds which caused the field to be silent.

"Damn, he is definitely from a professional team!"

Ye Zisu and Lin Huiyin were not stingy with their applause. To Wang Zheng, unless it was an extremely complicated sport, sports like baseball would not pose a problem to him. Baseball only required hand eye coordination, so it was simply too easy for him.

Zhao Lingfeng felt ashamed and finally stopped pestering Wang Zheng.

"Sister Zisu, let's go to the next place."

Lin Huiying arrived as a guest, so naturally Wang Zheng and Zisu welcomed any of her requests.

"Zisu let's gather during lunch break to discuss the class gathering."

Zhao Lingfeng still did not want to let go of this opportunity.

"We'll talk next time. Wang Zheng and I have something else to do, so we shall go first," Ye Zisu said.

On the way there, Lin Huiyin was elated and playfully punched Ye Zisu and whispered into her ears, "Sister Zisu, I think you and Brother Wang Zheng are very compatible. Do you need my help to bring the both of you together?"

Ye Zisu turned red instantly, "We are friends, and we are not in the kind of relationship you thought us to be."

"Is it? Back in my hometown, girls pursuing happiness need to be brave, and if you miss the opportunity, it will never present itself again."

Lin Huiyin spoke like a young adult.

Under Lin Huiyin's persuasion, they were on their way to the theme park. Indeed, girls her age would most likely love to visit the theme park. But it seemed like she was deliberately setting up an opportunity for Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu to be together.

In the near distance, hiding perfectly under the shadow of the trees, An Jili was confused that her highness was actually interested in this extremely childish theme park.

Lin Huiyin was too timid to ride the roller coaster, but she insisted for Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu to ride for her to see.

Lin Huiyin stood below with her eyes wide open. Although Wang Zheng was deemed to be "superb" by most people, he was not suitable for her cousin. Wang Zheng and Aina were both burdens to each other in their relationships. She knew her cousin's personality very well. Aina might appear to be mature, but she was actually quite stubborn. But if Wang Zheng had a girlfriend, perhaps she would let him go.

"Oh, these few adults always make me worried." Lin Huiyin shook her head helplessly.

Though Ye Zisu was from a military school, she was still intimidated by the high speed roller coaster. Girls would definitely try to be more delicate, especially in these situations.

Wang Zheng was tortured by Lin Huiyin's roller coaster idea. He was dizzy by the tossing and turning of the roller coaster, but once he saw Ye Zisu so contented, it was all worth it. Since Ye Zisu had helped him several times and Wang Zheng had yet to show any sign of appreciation, he felt better if he could draw a smile from Ye Zisu from time to time.

When Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu finished the ride, they came down to find Lin Huiyin missing. She was replaced by a solemn woman.

"Nice to meet you two. Miss Lin is on her way back to attend to urgent tasks. To thank the both of you, she booked Xiang Fei Bin for dinner this evening. Once again, thanks for the hospitality, and in addition, here's a small gift."

She took out a rigid gift box after she spoke. Judging by its size, it should have been an album.

Retro albums had transformed into an appreciative art. It was the same reason as to why mechanical watches were so popular. Rumors had it that the nobility in the upper class society still did not appreciate new technologies like the Skylink.

The lengthened Lincoln electro-magnetic car had been waiting at the entrance of the theme park, and after Lin Huiyin got on, they would arrive at their destination in no time.

Xiang Fei Bin was one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing. The dinner was required to be scheduled one month in advance because it had five Michelin Stars. Even senior VIPs were also required to schedule one week prior to the dinner date. Since Wang student had been tortured by Lin Huiyin for the whole day, he had to eat to his heart's content.

But he didn't expect it to be such a high-class restaurant.

"Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu, Miss Lin has arranged everything. Please enjoy your dinner."

The VIP area was situated at Beijing world trade center's 88th floor with 360 degree rounded corners and a majestic view of the scenery. Of course, the most important aspect was the food, and no glutton would be able to refuse this place.

Ye Zisu was grateful for Lin Huiyin's arrangement that allowed her to dine here several times. But it all seemed too good to be true.

If there was something to eat, Wang Zheng wouldn't be courteous about it. The food here was good, and the amount of food Lin Huiyin ordered had caused Wang Zheng's appetite to increase proportionately. Moreover, everyone who had come would never reject the food but focus on chewing instead. Ye Zisu was not a large eater, hence she spent most of her time watching Wang Zheng eat.

Wang Zheng's surroundings were filled with elegant women and men who had nothing to say to him. With beautiful women at his sides and a classy atmosphere, he munched down his food a little too fiercely.

"I really envy your appetite." Ye Zisu laughed. "Are you going for Dawn's class gathering? Knowing more friends will help you in the long run."

Wang Zheng waved his hand. "Forget it, that's the elite classmates' gathering, and it has nothing to do with me. Zhao Lingfeng was being polite and invited you. I don't want to be thick-skinned and barge in to create more trouble."

Ye Zisu sighed. "I know you look down on us."

Wang Zheng was surprised. "What do you mean? I'm envious of you."
