Chapter 163: Falling In Love With a Pillar

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Your attention, please, all crew and passengers. The ship will have a layover on the Norton Star for a 12 hour maintenance. You may get some rest or shop at the business district in Space Avenue. The Norton Star is one of the first stars which humanity colonized in Sagittarius Galaxy. It is mineral rich. Its gravitational force is five times that of Earth. It Is also the most important port and mineral producer in Sagittarius."

"Sigh, Captain Zhao Jing has such a beautiful voice," Tyrant Su said, seemingly enjoying himself every much.

An Mei rolled her eyes. "Seems like you have a thing for Jings, eh? Do you need me to help you and your first love get back together?"

Tyrant Su shivered and wiped his sweat. "Dear, I was just joking around. Don't do this, I'll get nightmares."

"There's a plenty of time, so everybody can go over to Space Avenue to get some local produce from the Norton Star. But don't wander off too far. I have a meeting to attend, so I won't be joining all of you," said Ye Zisu.

Unlike them, Ye Zisu was not on a leisure trip. OMG had taken the opportunity to expand their businesses. At the few places they had stopped over at, OMG branches had sent representatives to make contact. As the largest mineral producing planet, the Norton Star had a huge demand for mecha used in harvesting. This time around, Ye Zisu was also hoping to expand their market on the Norton Star. While a few hours may not necessarily yield any real results, it would be a good start.

Their winning of the Technological Contribution Award could also be used to promote OMG Group's good foresight and bright future, and that could boost their partners' confidence.

"Susu, go ahead and do what you need to do. Or let Wang Zheng be your bodyguard," An Mei giggled.

"I'm going to a business meeting, not a fight. You all have fun, and remember to take more pictures." Ye Zisu smiled.

Ye Zisu followed a crew member and left. Wang Zheng, Yan Xiaosu, and An Mei boarded the magnetic car and entered Space Avenue on the Norton Star excitedly.

The Norton Star's economic status was similar to that of Earth, but it had a very, very different ecological environment. Even though it had immense gravitational force, its plants were tall and huge. Having been under mankind's rule for thousands of years, this planet had slowly turned from a pure, mineral production plant into an environment suitable for humans to live.

The early immigrants had lived in an anti-gravity facility, but as new generations were born and raised, mankind eventually evolved to be completely adapted to the five times greater gravitational force and set their roots on the planet. To them, they were Nortoners.

While human genes took longer to evolve, their genes were powerful. The new generations were mostly able to adapt to the environment here, and they eventually formed the basis of Norton's developments.

The Norton Star was geographically located in the Sagittarius Belt, and it had an important role in the Sagittarius Alliance. The soldiers on the Norton Star were all strong and capable men, and they nurtured Mech Warriors. After all, a skeletal structure that could withstand five times the normal force had an explosive strength that other planets could not compare.

At the same time, even though they were very strong, their physiques were unaffected. Their bone density was much greater than normal humans, and that was what made it curious.

Citizens of the Norton Star were also the Milky Way Alliance's favourite recruits for soldiers.

Tyrant Su cursed as he read the information. "Are they really that great? They're described like gods and goddesses. But it seems like the Norton Star's military capabilities can't even be put on a stage."

Wang Zheng chuckled. "The Norton Star has a relatively long history of war. Especially in their war against the Zerg, they performed extremely well. They produce plenty of Mech Warriors here, but they are weaker when fighting in space."

"In other words, their bodies compressed their brains." Tyrant Su laughed.

In the era of Interstellar travel, Fleet Warriors were way more highly ranked than Mech Warriors, apart from Carrier-based Mech Warriors. But to become a Carrier-based Mech Warrior, they had to be the cream of the crop. They could do everything – operate a mech, as well as a spaceship.

"All right, we came here to travel, can't you talk about something else?" An Mei could not bear with these brothers.

"What is that? Looks delicious," Yan Xiaosu said, picking up something that looked like pudding.

"Respected Sir, hello. This is the sperm of the Norton Star Tree Frogs. It is protein-rich and contains all types of antioxidants. It nourishes the body, improves sexual stimulation, and prolongs life. Price: five thousand Milky Way Dollars."

A digital system on the side explained.

Yan Xiaosu was stunned and tossed it aside quickly. "Damn, I don't want this!"

"What do you think that is? An elixir of life? Five thousand dollars!" he thought to himself.

An Mei laughed. "It wasn't easy getting to the Norton Star. It'd be silly to just shop and do nothing. Let's go walk around."

"Do we have enough time?"

"12 hours is more than enough. I've checked. There's a six hour express tour. We can sightsee and take some pictures. It's said that the Norton Star has some unique traits," An Mei chirped. Girls were always excited about new environments.

"Boss, what do you think?"

Wang Zheng looked out. "Sure. As long as it doesn't affect our journey, I'd like to take a look around too."

The trip cost each person three thousand dollars. Considering it was just a round trip with a tour guide, it was really expensive. But it was a long way out, so it was pretty worth their money.

The tour guide was a friendly and good-looking lady. Tyrant Su especially became generous when there were beautiful women around, and he gave tips as though as they were worth nothing, without a care for how much money Old Yan gave him for the trip. This worried Wang Zheng sometimes. This kid was flirty, and god knows when An Mei would get rid of him. But An Mei did not seem angry about this.

"Friends, the plants on Norton are exceptionally big and strong because of the large gravitational force and the mineral-rich soil. This is a unique trait of the Norton Star, and it is very rare at other places," said the pretty guide.

"But because the gravity is too great here, please put on the anti-gravity belt as we move along. Please do not remove them on your own. We had a passenger remove the belt on his own and he ended up fracturing everywhere."

Knowing that this group of three came from Ares College on Earth, the tour guide's smiles showed more sincerity. She too was a student, and she was out to earn a few extra dollars during the holidays.

The tour had a route of its own, and the vehicle very quickly left Space Avenue. Taking in fresh, natural air, Wang Zheng stretched his arms and legs.

Anyone who had been on a spaceship for a long time would feel something upon landing. Wang Zheng especially felt a huge force.

This was something that the Moon and Space City were incomparable to. The planet was full of life and natural forces, only second to Earth. It was weird how this place was way more welcoming than Earth. Everything seemed amicable to him.

His five senses were heightened and extremely clear. His thoughts extended into his surroundings. Yan Xiaosu and An Mei were making all sorts of poses for pictures and were busy uploading them into their circles to show off. Even the pretty tour guide was rather cooperative and joined them in their photos.

Wang Zheng, on the other hand, was busy enjoying himself. Soon, he even stopped talking to the rest. After passing by a few unique the Norton Star landmarks, the vehicle came to a stop outside a mining entrance that looked as old as a museum.

"Friends, this was a mineral mine centuries ago. It is now a memorial. The Norton Star had a humble beginning. Our environment used to be badly damaged and poorly maintained, but with our careful construction, it has become one of the most suitable living environments for mankind. It is said that a great leader once hailed from our planet."

Pretty tour guide Sally smiled.

"A great leader? Who?"

"No idea. We don't know his name, but the older people always say so," Sally replied. An Mei and Yan Xiaosu giggled. Earth had nurtured too many great personalities. No place else could compare with Earth in terms of history.

"You can come on down to take a look. Remember to make sure your anti-gravity belts are properly buckled. Feel free to get any memorabilia you like. Things are slightly cheaper here than in Space Avenue," Sally said.

"Hurry, Xiaosu! Look! What an ancient-looking robot! It's the ultimate antique!"

"Hehe. This was one of the first mining assistants. In the early days, there were not many immigrants who worked in the development of the Norton Star. These robots contributed to help the manual labour."

Even though Wang Zheng was following the three of them around, his heart and soul were not present. He had a weird, indescribable feeling from the moment he stepped foot on the Norton Star.

Wang Zheng eventually fell behind. He removed the anti-gravity belt subconsciously. This thing was getting in his way of making contact with the Norton Star.

He touched the antique door lightly. There were intersecting claw marks all over it. Probably left by the Zerg. Seems like this mine was used as a shelter to fend against Zerg invasions in the past.

Upon first contact, Wang Zheng froze. Images flooded into his head. A young man stood in front of him, smiled, nodded, and then slowly disappeared again.

In that instant, Wang Zheng entered a curious world. It was as though as the final thin film that separated him and the world was lifted, and the Primordial Regression Technique naturally came to mind.

What was different was that the technique used to spin only in his head, but this time…. He could sense the world around him spinning too.

This…

He could also sense the five elements of earth, sea, fire, wind, and space become clear. Not just sense, but it felt like he could control them.

Was this an illusion?

"Boss! Boss! Don't scare me! No! I have to do CPR!" Tyrant Su said helplessly.

Wang Zheng opened his eyes. "Get lost! Next time something like that happens, please get a beautiful woman!"

Wang Zheng pushed Yan Xiaosu aside, and Sally didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted herself on the chest and said, "Phew, I was so frightened. I thought something had happened to you."

"Ah, I was in a bit of a trance. Why?" Wang Zheng asked, bewildered.

"You clung on to that pillar as if you were clinging on for life. It was as if you had fallen so deeply in love with it that you just wouldn't let go," An Mei explained.

Wang Zheng was always in some sort of weird situation.

"Oh, I was thinking about some things and I lost track of everything else."

"You're so eccentric! So strong even in a trance! The three of us together couldn't make you budge a single inch."

Sally looked curiously at Wang Zheng. He had only used one hand, but the three of them could not make him move a single bit...

Chapter 164: Li Feng and Wang Tong

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Haha, Boss is the trump card of our military school." Tyrant Su laughed.

Sally acknowledged him with an "Oh" and was not too surprised. Given Earth's standards, this matter was nothing.

Eyes fell on Wang Zheng. "Ah, why did you remove your belt?"

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "It's fine, I can handle it, even if its five times gravity".

"You sure? There is no need to act brave!" Sally suspiciously stared at Wang Zheng. There were many who liked to act like they were stronger than they really were. Therefore, an agreement had to be signed before heading out on missions. If the belt was taken out by an individual, the consequences should be borne only by that individual.

Wang Zheng shook his arms. "I am completely fine. My daily training utilized five times gravity, and I think the gravity here is less than five times. Also, this feels more natural and different from the kind of monotony felt in the training room.

Admiration shone in Sally's eyes. "The accurate gravity level here is 4.6 to 4.9 times. We people of the Norton Star believe that natural gravity is protective and that it is a blessing to those that have been granted with humanity".

"Indeed. Excuse me, but I would like to stay here for a while more, is that fine?" asked Wang Zheng.

"Of course you may. We have plenty of time and can wait for you." Sally moved closer to Wang Zheng since those that could adapt to Norton gravity deserved the respect of the people of Norton.

Wang Zheng looked at the mining area, but the image did not appear again. Could it have been an illusion?

No, he could not have been hallucinating, since Wang Zheng believed in his own spiritual power and would definitely not be hallucinating.

At the moment he saw that image, it was as if he was lifted to another realm

The Primordial Regression Technique operated differently now!

How was this possible?

After all, it was not too convenient to figure out what happened where he was currently. Otherwise, Wang Zheng would have wanted to ask Bonehead to clarify. This was due to the strange influence just now.

There was something off about him.

Even in his previous state, he could handle five times gravity. Yet strangely, after that strange interaction, the effect of the gravity was unnoticeable!

These were two completely different concepts.

"Sally, you were saying that the Norton Star produced a heroic man. What was that about?"

"Oh, it is a legend told to me by my grandmother. My grandmother said that it was told to her by her grandmother. During the battle between the Zerg and humans, an all-powerful figure appeared on Norton star. His fist could shatter the skies and his feet could crush the Earth. It was him who eliminated the Zerg," said Sally.

Yan Xiaosu could not take it and started complaining. "Did your grandmother also tell you that she was dreaming?"

Sally was not angry and said, "There are many such stories in the Norton Star. Although unbacked and unproven, we believe that the Norton Star does have such a hero."

In fact, currently, even the people of the Norton star did not believe that tale. However, since people of the older generations passed it down, people continued to do so because they thought it was interesting.

The passing image emerged in Wang Zheng's mind. Even though the image has blurred, Wang Zheng still remembered that pair of domineering eyes.

They looking over the world as though he was the king looking over his people!

What kind of person was that?

Half an hour passed. They had stayed for a long time and were prepared to head back. Before heading back, Wang Zheng took a look at the old mining area. There were too many secrets in this world.

On the journey back, An Mei and Yan Xiaosu were chatting like birds. Both of them also kept Sally's Skylink number and they now had an additional Norton Star friend. They also invited Sally to come to Earth to play when she was free.

This trip was highly fruitful. They bought plenty of souvenirs and also made new friends. Wang Zheng went into his own room upon returning to the ship.

"Xiaosu, look how miserable your buddies are. I said earlier that princesses are unreliable and men need to be down-to-earth!" said An Mei.

Yan Xiaosu coughed several times and wondered if she was warning him. "An Mei, we can create opportunities, but do not care too much. I believe we should let nature take its course. If it is not fated, forcefully matching both parties will only harm them."

"Okay, stop acting like a love guru, I do not know much about your tricks. Anyway, I'm siding with my best friend here." An Mei glanced at Yan Xiaosu. She knew how to separate between love and hate and was fearless regardless of who she was up against.

"I will firmly stand on your side", laughed Yan Xiaosu.

"You're tactful, I will give you a reward tonight."

"Oh, is it, why don't we...." Tyrant Su whispered into An Mei's ear. An Mei started blushing and said, "Why are your thoughts so dirty?!"

Tyrant Su pleaded his innocence and said, "What is dirty? This is known as affection. Don't you think that facing the vast, night sky is quite therapeutic and can lift your spirits?"

An Mei was speechless. "This guy can turn all romantic places into occasions to make love."

Wang Zheng closed the door and then proceeded to summon Bonehead out of the Rubik's Cube. Bonehead appeared.

"Bonehead, what happened just now?" Wang Zheng felt Bonehead's confusion.

"You don't know what happened?"

Bonehead shook his head and nodded subsequently. "This is a strange form of Origin energy. The image of the person that appeared before you was definitely one who had transcended that of a super soldier into that of a god! The energy left just now should be residual energy from at least 600 years ago..."

This completely exceeded Bonehead's calculations. How could such a strong force exist?

Wang Zheng was stunned and wondered whether the legend was true.

Had there been such a heroic person among humans?

Truth be told, there were similar stories on Earth. In the history of Earth, there were once defiant warriors. However, based on current logical analysis, this was impossible. How could humans reach such a level? If they did, they would be invincible beyond the Milky Way.

"Bonehead, what is up with you?"

"Your Highness, there are two possible theories. The first is that this energy here was what gave rise to the godly warrior you saw before. The second is that the warrior you saw was actually so terrifyingly powerful and had exceeded the laws of nature and should not exist." Bonehead's eyes were flashing as data passed through it constantly. It seemed like he would implode soon at the rate he was analyzing.

Wang Zheng was not interested in this. He was interested only in why that wave of energy was in contact with him.

"Congratulations, your Highness. For an unknown reason, the connection between your biological body from this plane and the universe has been obstructed. However, because of the assistance of this wave of energy, your distance to a breakthrough has been significantly reduced."

Bonehead said that it was rather simple to him too and he would not think about things that he could not figure out.

Wang Zheng was emotionally affected by this. The universe was so huge and filled with mysteries, and he was rather fortunate.

"Oh, right, Bonehead, I always wanted to ask you this. What is the name of the emperor of your Rand Empire?"

Bonehead immediately had a serious look on his face with his big eyes shining through. "Your Highness, the Rand Empire's founding emperor is also its most noble presence. He is Li Feng, the god of this plane."

Wang Zheng nodded. This name felt ordinary to him. Having observed that Bonehead was about to introduce the history of the Rand Empire, Wang Zheng quickly sent Bonehead back. Since there was only a little battle energy left, it could not be wasted on allowing him to tell his story.

The elderly loved telling stories, and this included even old robots. He was, however, a youngster, and what was important was the breakthrough of the Primordial Regression Technique.

Wang Zheng immediately went into meditative thinking. He carefully operated the Primordial Regression Technique and discovered something different in the technique now.

In the past, utilization of the technique only happened completely within the body. But now, once the technique was being used, he could feel that his surroundings were being stimulated by the technique. However, every time he wanted to take another step forward, the feeling would disappear. It was as if there was someone or something controlling the energy and stopping him.

A planet had the ability to regulate itself. When there were excessive living beings on a planet, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, or even ice ages could occur naturally. This was how a planet healed itself. In fact, it was the same for the universe. When a living being's existence threatened the universe, it would also enter a form of self-healing.

This was the law of the universe.

Some forces, however, could defy this law. However, this law would not disappear. An individual could not affect the entire universe.

Of course, Wang Zheng was not thinking of this at that time. He was so close to a breakthrough thanks to his good fortune and it would suck if he did not manage a breakthrough.

Wang Zheng had a feeling that if he did manage a breakthrough, he would be able to obtain his much-coveted Ability X.

On the faraway Earth, Li Er was looking at his hands, both of which had a steady stream of energy pouring out. Was this inherited? As long as he could handle and control it, he could fight the entire world.

Beside him, Drupe was crying. The dream that the Cronos family has been chasing for thousands of years was about to become a reality, and all they needed now was time!

The spacecraft slowly took off. Ye Zisu's negotiations did not go smoothly, as the other party was not interested in robots produced on Earth. Maybe their company possessed clout on Earth, but it was nothing on the Norton Star.

OMG wanted to expand its business in the Norton Star and also wanted to use Norton's iron ore for the development of new robots. The Norton Star's mines were some of the best ones in the Milky Way Alliance. If they were able to collaborate, it would bring about huge cost savings.

Even though OMG's princess personally handled the business this time around, the results were not what they expected. Ye Zisu was rather calm, however, since there was a low chance of success in the first place. She was only making contacts now and she planned to look for opportunities in the future.

Zhao Jing brought An Mei and Ye Zisu to the fleet lounge for some rest. Of course, it was a girls' world. The thought of a group of pretty girls in uniforms made Yan Xiaosu and Wang Zheng want to go along, but that was clearly impossible.

"Boss, you should get some rest and not train all day. Let us duo queue. I will join you too!"

Yan Xiaosu had this burning desire for a long time and enjoyed a spectacular performance from close distance.

Wang Zheng laughed and said, "That's fine, it can be counted as a completion of collaboration."

"Two birds with one stone!"

The two of them found the lounge and accessed the Milky Way server.

Student Skeleton was online.

Yan Xiaosu changed the difficulty level to low since he knew Wang Zheng didn't want things within CT to disrupt his normal life. He was extra careful in this aspect.

It felt amazing to be duo queuing.

There was a choice to enter the intergalactic area, since they had accessed the Milky Way server.

"Boss, stop messing around in the solar system. Since it's an interstellar expedition, we should experience the combat prowess of other planets."

Yan Xiaosu rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Ok, let's choose the Norton Star then."

Wang Zheng logged into the Sagittarius System and chose the Norton Star battle area.

Chapter 165: Executing Kids from Earth!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The CT world without Skeleton was merely black and white, bland and boring. However, when the Skeleton appeared, flames instantly rose up.

The speed of response to his login was as fast as the speed of light!

Solon was calm and possessed an admirable aura as he was officially named the chairman of the Solar System region. McLaren was about to retire, and Solon had demonstrated vision and decisiveness in the course of his work. He also achieved huge results and led Asia to be the best performing region in the Solar System.

When everyone else was attempting to find a niche in the CT battlegrounds to market to viewers, he discovered an amateur world where it was the largest and closest to life. Here, everyone was a hero.

In fact, Solon had set up his own specialized team headed by himself to immediately act upon the appearance of Skeleton.

However, this time Solon had made a small mistake as Skeleton chose a region outside of the Solar System.

Or could it be the Norton Star?

The Norton Star was among the group of planets discovered earliest by humans and had a long history. In the early days, there was nothing there and nobody wanted to visit that star. As it was developed over time, especially when humans started to get used to the five times gravity, the Norton Star's status had been slowly shifting as well.

Now, the Norton Star was one of the most powerful stars in the Sagittarius constellation and produced high quality warrior machines.

The warriors on Norton were not fanciful, but they were durable and fierce. The Sagittarius Military Alliance liked to recruit here, and even the Milky Way Alliance admired these warriors greatly.

They could be described as the cornerstone of the army.

The Norton Star was rather robust in terms of its culture and customs too. They were split into two factions. One faction consisted of citizens who were not used to five times gravity, while the other faction had citizens who were used to it. In the CT circle, these people were rather intimidating.

The attacks of these warriors were at the very limit of strength!

As such, few would visit Norton for leisure. The unfairness of the five times gravity would discourage many who came from other planets and constellations.

"Boss, this title?"

Solon pondered for a moment and pounded the table as these few words came out of his mouth: Skeleton Expedition!

Actually, there was no need to officially change one's title. Everyone could see that once another player crossed galaxies, their ID would indicate their place of origin.

Skeleton wanted to challenge the Norton Star???

On the other side, Tyrant Su had already excitedly registered his ID, which read "Disrepectful Tyrant!".

Wang Zheng was speechless. Could Tyrant Su be any less disciplined!?

The Norton Star was for team battles, and Skeleton's fans were highly anticipating it. This was a rare sight to see Skeleton queuing with a friend. With Skeleton's skill level, it was likely that this Disrespectful Tyrant would be an expert himself!

It appeared as if Skeleton had provided himself with an additional form of insurance. However, the players of the Norton Star were not to be messed with after all.

"Have you sent the messages out?" Solon asked.

"Yes, Boss!"

Solon nodded, and there was some stress that accompanied his excitement. This was because his message was not only sent to Earth but the entire Solar System. This was a privilege that only his current position offered. Although he was named chairman, only with McLaren's approval could he do what he wanted.

Solon could not wait for his formal appointment. At that point, such a power would be naturally granted to him. It was a double-edged sword. If successful, an appointment would come quicker and smoother, but it could be withdrawn upon failure.

Solon could no longer look back at this point.

Let Skeleton's Expedition begin! Dominate the Milky Way!

The Skeleton Corps' flaming skull logo was ignited.

"Brother Xiu, is there some sort of problem with your design? It makes us seem like galactic pirates." Yao Ailun was skeptical of the new logo.

"Ailun, this is trendy. Don't you think its cool? It matches with the invasion theme as well. I am such genius!" Chen Xiu was highly satisfied with his own design.

"I think it's too plain. To me, Skeleton is noble and has plenty of accomplishments. I suggest you put a stalk of rose in his mouth", said Yao Ailun.

"Do I need to add a pair of golden glasses?" Chen Xiu joked. Yao Ailun was the targeted recipient of the joke.

"Well, it's alright."

The Skeleton Corps' flag started fluttering on all major platforms. A flaming skeleton with a black rose in its mouth was rather domineering.

Light up the flag!

Begin the battle!

There were about 13 million viewers with VIP making up 8.6 million of them. Among them, about 7 million came from Earth and the other million coming from other planets in the Solar System.

Even before the competition began, the amount of anticipation was already at such levels.

No one knew who their opponents were, what the difficulty level was, and whether the competition required skill.

The undisciplined Tyrant Su was looking at the viewership happily since he contributed to it as well.

Wang Zheng had already brought Yan Xiaosu into the matching interface. Wang Zheng's one hundred percent win record would definitely lead him to be matched with an opponent of a high caliber. However, with Yan Xiaosu around, the opponents' skill level would likely be lower. As Yan Xiaosu was new, his unknown win rate would not cause the opponents' level to be lowered by much.

The broadcast was about to begin, but the terrifyingly high influx of viewers attracted the Norton officials' attention.

Ross didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing this news. "The world has changed, even rabbits who come to Earth dare to escape from their areas."

"Boss, such high VIP traffic could mean that the opponent is of a high caliber."

"I heard that the Chairman at the Solar System region is about to retire. To use such a method to build up a career and involve us (Norton Star) in the process, what a moron."

Ross lamented that this type of approach was rather common. Allowing an expert to register for a second account and roam around in a big region to satisfy his poor, superficial pride was something only a weak region such as Earth would do.

However, they had found the wrong place. This was the Norton Star, where just the power of five times gravity alone could kill you.

CT's five times gravity did not really use the power of five times gravity but only increased the operating difficulty by five times. This was no issue to the people of the Norton Star. Of course, those people who were not adapted to it could only choose areas without five times gravity to play.

This was also a specialty of the Norton Star.

"Assign them to the area with five times gravity", said Ross, who did not care much about the situation as long as the challengers were not able to capitalize on a loophole.

The Norton Star's overall standards were high, and this was not much of an issue to them.

Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu's match-making had concluded.

They entered a battle on a prime spot on the Norton Star.

It was five versus five at one of the old mining areas on the Norton Star with five times gravity.

This was a classic battleground of the Norton Star. About six to seven hundred years ago, in an era where humans were battling the Zerg, this place provided old memories of those times and a sense of adventure.

It seems like the Norton Star players were about to give their guests a surprise.

But... the people who were matched with Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu were stunned.

"Where did the two of you come from?!"

They were facing three opponents of the gold one tier and two of the gold three tier. On this side, it was two of them who were from Earth and had low levels, one teammate who was of the gold three tier and the other two were of the gold five tier.

How could the system match them as such?!

It was practically a sin.

"Hi, everyone, we are CT lovers from Earth. I am Tyrant."

"You mean a moronic tyrant! This is a five times gravity area. Go over to the ordinary area, for Christ's sake!"

The three people from the Norton Star were speechless.

"Since we are here, you should accommodate us", said Tyrant Su in a provoking way.

Since he had backing, he was filled with confidence.

Tyrant Su's composure and arrogance stunned the other three. Earth had experts as well, and these two could be the strongest or had trained in five times gravity, which would be not too bad.

Tyrant Su then arrogantly opened the mech storeroom.

Tyrant Su, who registered as a smurf, immediately loaded the mecha selection screen.

After that, the three players from the Norton Star stared at Tyrant Su, who was showing off his mech collection. It was worth tens of thousands of Milky Way Dollars.

He was so rich!

In the end, Tyrant Su chose the Aslan mech named Radiant Knight, which was equipped with a sword and a shield.

The market price was twelve thousand Milky Way dollars.

The three people from the Norton Star did not say anything. Even if they were to attack such a mech, they would have to keep quiet.

The viewers watching from the Solar System were stunned.

With the partner of the Skeleton using the Radiant Knight, would this be the moment that shot the Norton Star to fame?

While Wang Zheng was looking at the Wargod No. 1 and the strong warrior, he suddenly thought of Ye Zisu. Even though he didn't know whether it would work, he decided to try at the very least.

The stare off between the two opposing sides ended…Hercules??

Were they trying to lose on purpose with this agriculture mech from Earth?

When Wang Zheng chose the agriculture machinery, the VIP viewership hit 10 million. It was too easy.

How would an agriculture machine perform under five times gravity? Would it face many difficulties?

The three teammates were dumbfounded. What could this mean?

One used the high-end Radiant Knight while one used a piece of unknown agriculture machinery.

Did it get any more exciting than this?

The lights were up and they entered the battleground.

There were not that many options in terms of arena selection, and as a CT veteran, Yan Xiaosu must have had experience playing in the Norton Star arenas.

This time he was fully prepared for the battle ahead.

As the mech touched the ground, Tyrant Su felt euphoric. He took a step forward and wanted to work up a stunning pose that could even make the headlines.

However, it was as if there was an obstacle in front of it. The mech started shaking and then fell forward abruptly.

Not only was Yan Xiaosu shocked, the whole world was too.

What was going on?

The three players from the Norton Star ran away in shame.

"Tyrant, you b*tch. Do you know that this arena has five times gravity? Have you played before in such conditions?"

Yan Xiaosu moved his mech into an upright position. However, it was evident that its limbs felt a sense of restraint and there was something wrong with the mech. It could not walk, let alone battle.

Tyrant Su started sweating profusely.

He started thinking that if he didn't do anything, he would not embarrass himself. On the other hand, perhaps he would find out what his retribution for his sins were…

This stunned the live viewers in the Solar System region.

…

This was the master?

Suddenly everyone calmed down, think that this must have been done on purpose as a form of joke.

"Tyrant, that's so cool of you!"

"This is known as not showing off my hand first in order to allow my enemies to underestimate me!"

"The Norton Star folks are too unprofessional and out of line!"

"Looking forward to the super warrior!"

Chapter 166: Norton Students are Silly and Naïve!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng piloted the Hercules. It was fortunate that this degree of resistance did not require him to exert five times the strength.

Tyrant Su whispered to Wang Zheng, "Boss, the situation looks bad."

Wang Zheng laughed. "I will handle it."

"Gentlemen, Tyrant is just here to accompany me and observe the battle, he will not participate."

The other three Norton star players stomped away furiously at their teammate's arrogance.

"Who do you think you are!? Four against five, are you playing with us!"

"F*ck, should have chosen a better opponent. Are you an actor? Who's the one with the money on the table, I'm going to give him a piece of my mine!"

"Jackrabbit, this is my promotional match. Idiots from Earth, go back to your planet and drink milk!"

"Don't let me see you again. I will kill you, a**holes!"

In front of countless viewers, a verbal battle took place. Even the Norton Star language was used as all kinds of abuse could be heard.

While the relentless scolding took place, the gold ranked players on the other side laughed.

"Trying to play around on the Norton Star? They truly are blind dogs."

"Earth, just what kind of place is that? Even if they were kings there, being able to reach the silver rank here would be considered exceptional."

It looked just like a comedy.

Ross was laughing out loud. This was just too foolish; only those who had never stepped into an arena with five times gravity would fall like that.

"Boss… this…"

"Spit it out!" Ross glared.

"The viewer count on the opposite side did not decrease, it has already broken 12 million viewers."

Ross stood paralyzed. These people must be sick in the mind!

How was it realistic to have 12 million lunatics watching?

The three Norton players continued to spit threats at Wang Zheng.

"Who do you think you are, four against five? Why did we get a penniless farmer!? Go earn enough money and then return to your farm!"

All kinds of insults were shouted that even people made of mud would be offended. Even Wang Zheng himself could not bear it anymore.

"I was mistaken, it is one versus five. You will see."

"F*ck, he really think he's all that. Fine, the three of us will see how you fall. We will count it as your win if you can even walk to the central area."

"What a fool!"

"Damn it, count my bad luck to meet these two inferior fools."

In fact, it was because Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu were Earthlings that this actually happened. If not, the opponents would most likely have quit the match. But to chance upon players from another region was a whole new matter altogether.

The Hercules stepped forward steadily.

The opposing five mecha had also arrived in front of him. An agricultural mech without a laser gun actually led the charge.

"I think even my fart can make him fly."

"I will deliver the final blow. Let's show the Earthlings our signature Norton Six Step attack," the gold ranked guy with the railcannon said.

The other four laughed and did not disagree with that.

Both parties' mecha entered each other's line of vision, showcasing absolutely no intention to hide. Hiding or whatever you call it was also totally meaningless in such a battlefield

The Ninth Generation Norton Knight equipped with the railcannon was already making a beeline towards Wang Zheng. Amidst the storm, the alloy rifle was beautifully drawn and a beautiful arc could be seen in the air.

On the Earthling side, the commentators had started to speak. Old Deer could not help but sigh. "Truly foolish."

This was perhaps the most apt comment. Based on Skeleton's past demonstration of his capabilities, five times gravity certainly was not an issue to him.

As the opposing sides approached each other, the Ninth Generation Norton Knight suddenly exploded forward with a burst of speed. The mech charged forward with a menacing force while firing the railcannon at the Hercules.

With a force this intense, one shot would have done it.

At this time, the Hercules' shovel appeared and two large booms resounded ….

First blood!

The Ninth Generation Norton Knight was bashed apart by one hit of the shovel!

While everyone was still in midst of shock, the Hercules was already charging towards the other four.

The other four immediately instinctively reacted… some pulled out their beam sabers and one pulled out a long spear while surrounding the Hercules.

What a joke, they were going to pierce him to death!

The Hercules had an attack speed significantly slower than the others. The other four mech had already lashed out towards the Hercules.

The Hercules' shovel spun in response, causing a continuous burst of sounds while sending sparks flying as the shovel deflected their attacks.

Such a move was useless. The opposing four were coordinating an attack from every direction. Even if the b*stard's Rotating Shovel could withstand the force, he could only attack one opponent and not defend himself from the other three.

Now the audience count had hit 14 million, of which 4 million watchers from the Milky Way were using VVIP accounts.

The same question was floating on everyone's mind: what was the use of only attacking one opponent?

Yan Xiaosu clenched his fists. The Radiant Knight sent punches up into the air as though he was involved in the battle as well.

For him, his fighting spirit was also considered important.

After a continuous three minutes of frenzied attacks, the Hercules was actually still standing and not destroyed!

Suddenly, from within the mech could be heard a violent roar.

Dear God. Skeleton was pushing the Hercules to its limits! Did he think this was a super mech?

This sort of mech was just technically not as capable!

To push the Hercules to this extent and with all the creaking noises, this opponent was clearly stretching the mech to its limits!

The Hercules suddenly began to spin violently with the shovel smashing out in every direction…

Rumble.

All of the four gold ranked players suddenly felt an irresistible force being emitted from the Hercules. Another deep roar could be heard from the mech. It leaned over violently. This was a common situation, and it could usually be easily overcome with the pilot exerting a counter-balancing force.

Just at that moment, an attack hit all four mecha, causing them to feel nausea and dizziness, momentarily paralyzing them.

Bang!

Double kill!

One mecha was directly smashed head on and exploded. Although the mecha could no longer move, it was still able to activate its energy shield.

Bang!

Triple kill!

Quadra kill!

This time it was not the shovel but a hammer that directly smashed the finishing blow on the mech.

At the same instant, the shovel lashed out and pierced through the head of another mech.

Quadra kill!

The head of the mech was sent flying. The energy shield activated, but a burst of sparks flew out in every direction.

Finally, the last mech's energy shield had turned on. It regained its mobility and launched a slash onto the Hercules.

Yet again, the Hercules' shovel started rotating.

Bang bang bang ~~~

The beam saber was disarmed and flew into the air!

The mech was sent flying into the air.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

The energy shield burst under the continuous attacks and the shovel was deflected by the shield.

Almost less than a second later, a dark object smashed over.

The hammer!

Penta kill!

GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What was left of the arena was debris and flames. Only one mech was still intact and standing.

One shovel, one hammer.

GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Ross's mouth was open to wide that he could easily swallow an ostrich egg… what in the world was that thing?????

"Congratulations, Skeleton, for your first victory in the East!" Goddess Bubbly Foam's voice echoed.

Old Deer had a dissatisfied and complacent expression.

The sound of howls sounded and the flag of the Skeleton Corps was raised. A huge skeleton bathed in flames with a black rose wedged in his mouth could be seen.

The three Norton Players were in a daze.

Were they dreaming?

Was this a farming mech or a secret weapon produced by Earth???

"Folks from the Norton Star, you must be blinded by the power of our Skeleton god. He finished all of you in seconds!"

"Go to hell. Five times the gravity? He could handle even a hundred times!"

Their complacency at the start angered half the audience, but now all of them were enlivened.

This battle really had the Norton players cheering. Even their strongest King could not produce such a level of ability and execution, especially at a five times gravity arena!

This was all solely based on the Earthling's naked strength.

What was even more ludicrous was that he was using a mech used for farming!

Tyrant Su could feel that he was no longer the center of attention and hence lightly sighed. "This sucks, how am I going to shine?"

The other three Norton players were stunned looking at the Radiant Knight. F*ck, these guys were truly playing with us! If we could not even beat farming equipments, forget about facing the Radiant Knight.

"Nortoners, please be more polite, cultured, and educated. None of you are worthy of being my opponents."

The entire audience were shocked. Just who could this Tyrant be? He barely played and yet was putting up such a front.

The three Norton players looked at each other, unable to speak a word. Wang Zheng's performance was indeed too frightening.

How could one be capable of piloting a mech at this level!?

Ross was shaking with anger. He indeed did not think much of these Earthlings. He did not expect this outcome and yet he was left in such an embarrassing state. It was no wonder so many millions were watching… they were awaiting Skeleton's performance.

He should have known just by looking at the number.

Yet he did just the opposite and announced: Defeating the Kids from Earth!

"Boss….. the forum is exploding"

"Sh*t, quickly take down the post," Ross roared. "To think that you played me like that… I will get my revenge!"

"Get me Yuan Long. Just wait and see, I will turn him into a lunatic with the trauma I will soon inflict! "

Who was Yuan Long? Within Norton CT, he was the strongest King level player, the one who invented the Blitz style of combat.

In reality, he was a student at Norton's Radiant College. He had passed the IG trials and was a representative of the Norton Star.

Yuan Long did not participate much in battles; it was only for entertainment purposes and to meet some friends.

After getting Ross's Skylink, Yuan Long himself was in shock. Some time ago, he had engaged in highly challenging battles whereby he met Ross. It was not his priority to play matches, and he had no ambition to become a professional player.

The other party was, however, quite persistent.

As such, they were acquaintances. Ross went straight to the point and sent a video to Yuan Long to let him decide.

Moreover, Ross had already contacted Solon.

He could not just let the matter pass as it was.

Chapter 167: Whatever Technique You Use, It Will Be Crushed with a Single Lance!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

At Yuan Long's side, Ross was not worried at all. No Norton player could withstand such an insult.

Yuan Long was initially uninterested, as he had many opponents and could not possibly entertain all of them.

However, after watching the battle replay, his eyes lit up.

Unbelievable!

Without looking at the battle analysis, Yuan Long could clearly see how the mech used the rotating shovel to not only fend off attacks, but also to paralyze his four opponents with the sheer force of the mech's fierce rotation.

When the external force was too violent, the energy shield could not provide total protection, resulting in dizziness in the pilots and a slowdown in movement.

The Hercules was an agricultural type of mech, and using it would have meant doomsday for any pilot, yet this person was able to create such a result.

Yuan Long was clear that the arena had a five times gravity level. For an ordinary person to be able to operate the Hercules in that kind of condition, even seven times gravity would not have been a problem for him.

Phenomenal!

Yuan Long was excited. It was his first time witnessing such a defensive technique.

It was not long before Ross got an affirmative response. The Norton official website immediately hung out a notice.

Steel Dragon King VS Skeleton from Earth!

Who was Skeleton? No one on Norton actually knew about him. Nonetheless, Steel Dragon King, who had not appeared in a while, attracted the attention of countless Nortonian spectators.

On Earth, Solon simply accepted the challenge.

On his path to success, confrontation was unavoidable. It did not matter who Skeleton's opponent was.

Wang Zheng was nonchalant about it. Since he had to fight, he wanted to leave the opponent speechless.

Also, he wanted to test the standard of a so-called elite Norton Star player.

Yuan Long's information surfaced quickly. Both sides were top players with astounding past records.

The Norton Star players looked at Skeleton's past fighting records. Needless to say, he looked elegantly formidable on the screen, but to them, it just meant that the opponent was too weak.

You needed the opponent's cooperation for one's personal performance. And on the Norton Star, if one hoped that the opponent was weak, they would be crushed to death.

The last battle took everyone by surprise yet also showcased the skill of a true expert.

The second stage of the game was in preparation.

"Spectators, the second stage has already been confirmed. The opponent is strongest King of last season, an all time fifth highest ranked player, a true Norton Star expert. The pilot is actually a military cadet and reportedly has the highest IG score in the entire Milky Way Alliance," Young Deer said.

"Comrade Old Deer, do you think Skeleton has a chance at winning?" Bubbly Foam chided.

Old Deer coughed. "Well, anything is possible. Yuan Long created the Norton Star's popular six consecutive strikes in Norton's strong gravity atmosphere."

"Where's does his expertise lie?"

Old Deer was experienced. "Everyone has seen consecutive strike combination moves. In fact, some strikes even hit up to a hundred times. However, this move is different. The instantaneous outburst in a straight line is impossible to dodge, and the defenses of the enemy mech will be destroyed even if the blow is blocked. It is an invincible attack that only Nortoners can master with their high bone density and strength. "

…

"Old Deer, isn't it just a simple burst attack!? You make it sound so profound!"

"Young Deer, brother here left you a milk box!"

Old Deer remained calm and hesitated on commenting any further. "The Norton official website provided a video for everyone's reference."

The camera switched, showing a Norton Star match. It was a Wargod No. 1 versus a high-end mech with an energy shield.

The Wargod No. 1 suddenly attacked with a force completely superior to what was seen on Earth. A commonly used move on Earth was to leverage on the horsepower of the mech's engine, accelerating forward over time. This was different; the attack was executed with the mech looking like an arrow leaving a bow, speeding like a fired shot.

Just a mere touch would leave behind the impact of an explosion and send the opponent's weapons flying, leaving behind traces of electrical sparks.

After five attacks, the opponent's mech would definitely explode.

Throughout the process, the opponent seem to not respond at all….. despite being diamond ranked.

What followed was a solo match of king level players fighting against each other. Again, there was the six consecutive strikes. After the first blow, the opponent mech seemed to become petrified and then it exploded.

There was an analysis of the battle.

The first violent shock caused by vibration emitted from the mech's high speed movement would result in the enemy mech becoming temporarily paralyzed. The response time will depend on the pilot's defensive abilities, and furthermore, the energy shield cannot completely resist the shockwaves.

Simply to put, this produced a force that had to be countered by the opponent as well!

It was an unparalleled six strike attack.

The consequences for those who attempted to dodge was even worse as it would result in instantly being shot down. As long as the strikes continued, one could only witness their own loss.

That was what everyone said about the Steel Dragon King: you had no choice but to obediently suffer his wrath.

This was the Six Dragonlances.

"What Dragonlance? It's obviously a chrysanthemum lance!"

"How can that match up to our Skeleton god? Screw off!"

Soon the technical analysis was out.

A comparison of the two mecha was shown. Skeleton was using the rotating shovel, and it could withstand a force up to seven times gravity; however, Steel Dragon King's forceful attacks could reach up to a limit of eight times gravity.

Skeleton, having withstood that amount of force, was still able to execute consecutive strikes.

The spectators on Earth stared in speechlessness.

This was a Norton player, and eight times gravity was a piece of cake to these genetically advanced individuals.

No matter how lucky Skeleton was, he was still an Earthling.

By nature, his body could only withstand a force of two times gravity.

One needed to possess ability in order to be arrogant. If both were playing on the same level playing field, Skeleton would have emerged victorious, but the opponent was a Nortoner.

There were already more than one million spectators on the Norton Star. The Dragon King's name was reputable, but the only reason there were no more viewers was due to the fact that the opponent was weak.

Earthling?

"What kind of place is that?"

"Do they even have warriors?"

"Aren't there museums everywhere? The best job you can find on Earth is to be a librarian."

This was the outside world's understanding of Warth – full of libraries and occupied by a bunch of old people.

Skeleton's battle highlights were also broadcasted on Norton, with the focus on the previous battle, but even a force of seven times gravity failed to impress the Nortoners.

That was nothing.

On the Norton Star, being able to resist a force seven times above gravity was not considered something rare.

Technique?

One against ten!

Regardless of whatever technique he had, he would be crushed with a single lance!

On Earth, the spectator count was slowly reaching 15 million.

Solon knew that this was a miracle.

It was a new record created in the solar system's history, and it had only been half a year since he started.

Skeleton's previous opponents were recreational players, but in current times, he had faced a variety of experts, some of which were among the very best.

The Norton Star would be the first battle.

When IG players played CT, they were considered to be the crème de la crème of all the players. This was without a doubt. They represented the military schools of their various countries.

For ordinary players, only the military or schools would notice their online results. However, for these IG players, they were to be future top tier generals with names that resounded everywhere.

Like Yuan Long, IG players would normally stop playing CT after playing it for a while. This was normal. Real life was a completely different realm with different standards.

Could Skeleton survive?

After broadcasting Yuan Long's details, Old Deer had a serious expression on his face. "Skeleton must be careful. Yuan Long is not an ordinary player; fancy tricks are useless in front of him. As long as there is a single flaw in his defense, he will be killed in a single strike."

"Old Deer, your old habit is resurfacing." Bubbly Foam laughed.

In the comment section, a series of carton emojis could be seen. Those who defended Old Deer were also attacked.

Old Deer remained calm. Anyone else in his position would definitely have ended up feeling mad.

Bubbly Foam had never seen Old Deer so serious. She believed that what Old Deer said was true. She could simply tell from his expression.

Old Deer laughed and switched cameras. "I am an Earthling too. Although I may not be Skeleton's fan, I will not be biased. "

"What now?" Bubbly Foam was in a daze.

Old Deer laughed bitterly. "I hope that Skeleton will lose. But not when he is facing such an opponent, we cannot let others look down on Earthlings."

"Skeleton can win!"

Old Deer forced a smile. "Whatever the result, sometimes I just wish I could simply lose myself in the fervor. Just take a look at what is happening below."

The Skeleton Corps had brought out the flaming skeleton flag.

Regardless of whether it was an IG or a professional player, he would be destroyed!

The mecha were chosen.

Skeleton: Hercules

Steel Dragon King: Wargod No. 1

There were few players with a preference for the Wargod No. 1. Those who were capable of performing with it were also a minority. However, such a sight was rare on Earth.

Competition venue: Fighting Ring.

It seemed as though both sides did not fancy variety. Wang Zheng was more interested in seeing the opponent's techniques.

…

At this time, Yan Xiaosu became a spectator. He was a little worried because IG players were difficult to beat. Even if one escaped death, they would lose a layer of skin. The problem was that the level of players within the solar system was not considered high. Since it was a high level Norton Star player, a difficult battle was inevitable.

Amitabha, please let the opponent be a noob! Please let the opponent be a noob!

Sadly, Tyrant Su's prayer did not succeed.

Bang…..

Both mecha appeared on the battlefield.

Upon appearing in the ring, the Hercules threw its hammer away.

Chapter 168: Proclaimation of Violence!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"This is done to reduce weight on the mech; the Hercules model is slow after all. Facing such a strong opponent, the hammer will be useless anyways." Old Deer narrated as his professional judgements surfaced.

In actual fact, Old Deer was thinking too much. Wang Zheng, on the other hand, thought that he would not need to use the hammer for this fight.

Yuan Long was thinking the same thing as Old Deer.

It was his first time witnessing such a daring move. However, after thinking about it, the opponent must have specialized in using this mech model.

Time trickled by… both mecha did not move even an inch.

Yuan Long glanced at his opponent, standing firmly on the other side. It looked as though he could immediately deliver a killer strike and win, but Yuan Long's instincts told him that this was exactly what the opponent wanted.

Defense was not Yuan Long's strength, but he was sure he could find a flaw in the opponent's movements.

The Wargod No. 1 moved slowly, gradually inching towards the Hercules. The Hercules stayed grounded, slowly adjusting his direction and posture, wielding the shovel.

Wargod stretched out both arms and two iron bars and a titanium gun appeared. The Nortoner audience studied the Dragon Steel King carefully, waiting for the Six Dragonlances to appear and end it.

As he slowly approached the Hercules, there was nowhere left to hide.

"He is approaching the range for a sudden kill." Old Deer looked at his Skylink. "A distance of 10 meters is a good distance for a sudden attack."

Everyone stared intensely at the battlefield.

Boom!

An explosion was heard, which resonated in all four directions. It was as though the sky had collapsed! The Wargod had disappeared in front of their very eyes…

… before swiftly reappearing in front of the Hercules!

Many could not believe their eyes…. Such explosive power… it was just inhuman!

The titanium gun pointed towards the Hercules.

Boom!

The shovel was not rotating… the shovel actually didn't rotate!

"It can't rotate! The force cannot be mitigated with the rotation of the shovel! He would kill himself if he tried!" Old Deer said. This meant that Skeleton was aware of his opponent's attack power.

The first shot glanced off the Hercules' armour. The Wargod wielded the gun tightly and fired continuously.

Bang…bangbangbang….

Four shots, was it even possible to dodge?

Even in the midst of defense, he was mesmerized by his opponent's power. It was similar to when Skeleton used his rotating shovel to attack his opponent. This was an attack leveraging on inertia.

A sixth attack!

Another explosion resounded!

Bang…

Finished!

Why was it said to be a formidable attack? The last blow concentrated all of the built up inertia energy of all the previous blows, leaving even mecha with energy shields defenseless.

This was a textbook example of the Six Dragonlances executed by the Dragon King.

When the last blow struck out, it would definitely spell certain death without an energy shield.

At this point, something strange happened. The shovel that was used for defense suddenly started rotating.

Why now…?

Boom…

Both mecha were sent flying.

Wang Zheng and Yuan Long were both dumbfounded. Wang Zheng thought that he could entangle his opponent, while Yuan Long thought he could win by executing his six strike attack.

At the same instance, both guys smiled knowingly.

They had met their match.

The Wargod No. 1's titanium gun was pointed downwards, dragging the gun along the ground.

Was it an invitation to attack?

"Drown him!"

"Here's the chance!"

"Absolutely unstoppable!"

Everyone was taken aback by the thunderous explosion.

The stance felt quite brutal.

Wang Zheng laughed as the Hercules stepped forward slowly. The shovel started rotating again.

…

As the two mecha got closer and closer, the Hercules jumped forward suddenly, directing the shovel towards the opponent.

The Wargod took a graceful step backwards.

As the Hercules landed, the mech suddenly dashed forward with great momentum. At this moment, the Wargod aimed his titanium gun, aiming directly at the Hercules.

Yuan Long had watched the video of Skeleton using the Hercules. In order to compensate for the slow movements, the Hercules wanted to use this tactic to catch the opponent off guard. Such a pity, the Hercules was just too slow.

Although the shovel was rotating, it was too far from the titanium gun. Yet the Wargod was in a position to fire a shot and end it.

Bang…

The Hercules had been shot!

The number of spectators from the solar system was gradually approaching 15 million.

F*ck. The Dragon King saw through his ploy.

Too scary… Too defenseless…

It felt as though the Wargod on the opposing side was the real Skeleton. The battle could not end so pitifully, as it was their first time venturing out of the Solar System as well.

Yuan Long laughed. "Not this move… I have barely warmed up."

Yuan Long initially thought that the opponent had more tricks up his sleeve, but he felt disappointed at this point.

Wang Zheng checked his systems. Luckily, the Hercules was quite durable in real life and the CT parameters were also quite high.

Wang Zheng licked his lips. It seemed like he really had to do something to pull out a win.

At this moment, the Wargod moved closer and was repositioning for an attack.

Even if one could anticipate it, could they withstand it?

No!

…

The only way out was to run. The atmosphere was just too oppressive and too domineering. His rotating shovel was too much of a hassle, and it was difficult to use in this situation.

Boom…

The Wargod suddenly approached and yet the same accident happened again.

This time, the Hercules advanced forward as well!

Although the mech was slow, when pushed to its limits, the mech could still perform! A large sound could be heard as the mech roared to life.

The shovel clashed against the titanium gun. Wang Zheng smirked, exerting a sudden force.

Leaning Landslide!

The shovel swung and was rotating fiercely for the second time. The shovel lashed out towards the target.

With this ferocious force approaching, Yuan Long instinctively defended with his arm.

Boom…

The Wargod was propelled backwards seven to eight steps before regaining a foothold.

"What is happening?"

"It was a simple strategy, but I feel like I'm against an army of thousands."

"Smart thinking… In the face of immense force, many choose to dodge, but advancing at the same instant will not let the opponent's attack power reach its maximum potential!"

Old Deer said, "However, if your control of the mech is not good, it would be no different from embracing death."

Wang Zheng did not think that the opponent could defend against that. He truly possessed impressive reaction and control of the mech.

This fight finally had meaning. This opponent wasn't bad at all.

Meanwhile, Yuan Long was drowning in his own thoughts. F*ck, where did this guy come from? With this strength, he could have been a top Norton player.

Was this guy from Earth's Academy X?

That would be impossible. Only Li Er was from the academy, and that guy would not be involved in such useless things.

"Who are you?!" Yuan Long bellowed.

His opponent stood quietly, with the shovel still rotating in hand.

Yuan Long laughed coldly. "Regardless, I don't care why you are here today. You will not leave here standing. Let's see if you can handle this!"

The Wargod's aura suddenly changed drastically. He spun the titanium gun several times before clutching it tightly.

Everyone held their breaths…. Could it be…

Somewhere else in Norton, Yuan Long's pupils began to flash with silver light, Ability X!

Wang Zheng felt that something was wrong. Just like the battle with Lie Guang, this guy was yet another person who took things seriously.

Wang Zheng was truly fired up. He was extremely passionate about everything related to Ability X. One could not simply understand the pursuits of someone with a thirst for power.

Only Wang Zheng could feel the difference in power in his opponent's stance and weapon usage.

It was as though he was battling another person altogether. Yuan Long's heart that was flowing with endless ambition was finally filled to the brim. The Wargod No. 1 was finally out to kill.

Bang —- bang — bang — bang — bang!

Like a thunderstorm, the Wargod struck out with destructive force, each attack faster than the previous by almost 50%, with an intensity many times greater than before.

The last blow directly landed on the wall of the arena, causing it to shake violently.

The spectators were thoroughly shocked. Just what was this situation?

Yuan Long did not attack the Hercules, but instead the walls. What was he doing…?

Yuan Long slowly turned around, pointing the titanium gun right at the Hercules.

This was a declaration of battle!

On the Norton Star, this was one of the most arrogant and overbearing ways to declare one's dominance. It was a showcase of the attack that would eventually eliminate the opponent. It was as though he was saying "I am going to destroy you like that, watch and learn! You can't hide!"

The Nortoner spectators were all pumped up. This was the stance they were expecting from Yuan Long. It was how he started his six strike combo years back. No one knew how to dodge such an attack, and thus its reputation flourished. Many amateur players were also eager to master this death attack that was created just for the Nortoners.

Who would have thought that Yuan Long would have further refined his six attack technique to an even more deadly Triple Blitz!

The key was to maintain the strength in each attack and to give everything in the last blow as a final strike.

An instant power level was shown on the lower right corner of the live broadcast.

The last blow recorded a power equivalent to 1,000, leaving the audience speechless.

A count of 1,000 was sufficient to break the limits of the conventional energy shield. That meant that even with an energy shield, the blow was sufficient to destroy the shield and the mech!

Legend has it that this was what the top warriors in various quarters were ultimately pursuing. It was difficult to operate a laser gun in complex terrains. To end a close combat battle quickly, an amazing attack had to be developed. Thus, many professionals attempted to develop a strike that could penetrate through the energy shield and physically strike the enemy mech. To that regard, using a power level system, it was discovered that a value of 1,000 was needed!

A similar concept existed in CT, but it was definitely not attainable by ordinary players.

Yuan Long was the main force representing the Norton Star in IG, and this undefeatable Triple Dragonlance could help him ascend through the crowd and give him the status necessary to join the main IG team.

Chapter 169: Spectacular

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In actual fact, Yuan Long was a young chap who did not like to be so arrogant during CT. As a Nortoner, to acknowledge the opponent was to admit defeat. To declare war was a more likely stance as a person from Norton.

His opponent was obviously of similar caliber, but he had to declare war in a more extravagant way.

Nortoners were known as kings of battles after all.

Even for a CT amateur, to hit a power level of 1,000 was equivalent to being a 'big whale'. A player who could crush opponents with merely just their pressure alone.

Who would have thought that such a strong person would be encountered on the first expedition to the Norton Star?

The Skeleton Corps, who were previously riled up, were now astounded. This was an extreme attack designed just to slay the opponent.

"How can the Nortoners be so shameless as to send out their IG elites!"

"SH*T, how can IG players play CT, and even declare a battle here? How brutish of them!"

"Do all Wargod No. 1 players become gods? Unbelievable. That last strike was heaven-shattering!"

"The Nortoners' ace player is out! Those who are famous in the Milky Way but come here to challenge Nortoners are just looking for their own demise!"

The titanium gun suddenly hummed. This bunch of idiots only knew how to see the power level of things. Power levels were meaningless!

The essence of the Triple Blitz lay not in its offensive power.

"Earthlings, you guys deserve to be forgotten in the midst of history. Open your eyes and look carefully at where you tread next time!!" Yuan Long said. It seemed as though his opponent was startled by his provocation.

The Hercules stood coldly, silently staring at the opponent.

Yuan Long was going to strike, the tip of his gun angled slightly.

On the other side, the Hercules twitched slightly as well.

Yuan Long's pupils contracted. The Wargod No. 1 had made a slight adjustment in position, aligning with the tip of the gun. On the other side, the Hercules' position had adjusted accordingly.

Yuan Long frowned. Could it be a coincidence?

He had made five consecutive adjustments, but his opponent's one move left him speechless.

From the Six Dragonlances to the Triple Blitz, it was not the sheer force that was difficult to master. Rather, the key aspect of these moves was the angle of the first strike that made it almost impossible to dodge.

No one had noticed this in the past, until now… That was why Yuan Long was so confident in this technique of his. Even when faced with stronger opponents, no one could decipher this key aspect of his technique.

But….

The Wargod No. 1's adjustments gradually became larger. Every move he made was matched by one from the Hercules. He was countered at each position, making him feel extremely angry.

This was impossible. He had tested it out before. It was impossible to see the essence of the move through these small adjustments.

The broadcast room was silent, and so was the CT's two headquarter buildings. Yuan Long was going to deliver a show – the strongest Nortoner technique. Everyone was eager to witness the move and see the Hercules turn into a pile of scrap metal.

What was wrong with the Wargod No. 1?

Discussions arose. Was it not just a simple task to strike and end the opponent?

The Hercules threw the shovel towards his opponent, gesturing for Yuan Long to strike.

Yuan Long's mind was in a blaze. Was this guy stupid? He had never met a more stubborn opponent.

Wang Zheng did not understand why so many people looked down on Earthlings. Didn't humans all originate from Earth?

Didn't all these techniques have influences from early human civilization?

Every technique could be traced back to early history. His opponent's three-pronged blitz was not bad, but it could not be considered great. The flaws were clear because the starting position was obvious, so it could be easily countered by opponents.

Extreme technological and psychological abilities could cover the flaws, but even then it was never a definite thing.

All of the spectators were whispering. The live viewer count had already hit 15 million.

The hearts of the supporters dropped seeing Skeleton throw his shovel away. With such a fierce attack, how was a defense possible without the shovel?

The Hercules' strength came with the rotating shovel!

Did he want to get killed?

The idiot on the other side was just so arrogant, and yet he was being so hesitant now?

Yuan Long clenched his jaws. He could not find a good position. His opponent had even thrown his shovel to the ground. He could not tolerate his opponent's fearlessness.

It must have just been a coincidence. It was not possible.

KILL!

The Wargod struck out with a demeanor even fiercer than before. At the same moment, the Hercules moved, possibly even a step before the Wargod did.

The biggest advantage of this lightning assault was the fierce barrage of attacks. However, the changes in the strikes were predictable and one's scope of judgment was limited as the strike had to be delivered instantaneously.

It was a move that even pulverized one into dust! Since the attack required so much strength, only 30% of one's energy was left after the attack. If one chose to exert 100% of their energy, it was basically gambling with one's life.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The titanium gun struck out and a silver laser flashed out of the muzzle.

The Hercules made minute adjustments, while the Wargod also moved accordingly, relentless in the pursuit.

Everyone's eyeballs nearly bounced out of their sockets.

The point blank shot had actually missed!

Anyone in the audience would not have missed at such a range!

Yuan Long felt as though he was dunked in cold water.

At this point, he could feel his opponent observing him quietly.

Two wrong moves. The Wargod's titanium gun suddenly disappeared…

And reappeared in front of the Wargod's chest half a second later.

Bang…

Skeleton WIN.

The entire audience was speechless. The camera slowly zoomed in.

Yuan Long missed the attack completely. He was too complacent, and his ego had affected him.

"You… how did you do it…" This was a devastating blow to Yuan Long. He had dismissed the possibility of a counter to his move countless times.

The Hercules slowly retrieved the shovel from the floor. "Want to know why? Come to Earth."

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He truly wanted to see how strong his opponent's moves were, but he got serious. In Bonehead's words, it was as though he was bullying a child.

After exiting CT, Wang Zheng rubbed his face. He could have upgraded his skills with the shovel if he had actually tried to deflect the opponent's Triple Blitz.

Alas, it was too late…

Wang Zheng wanted to ask for a rematch. Perhaps this time he would not move and Yuan Long could try his attack again?

Tyrant Su rushed over, gritting his teeth. "Boss, that was just too cool and way too awesome! You even delivered a psychological blow to him! You trashed him so soundly too!"

"It's rare to meet an elite. Let's give him another chance."

Yan Xiaosu spat in shock… this… he truly didn't want to let Yuan Long go??

Wait… what did that mean?

Earth and Norton were two diametrical opposites. Solon shook his head lightly. "You only appreciate life when you are going to die."

It was indeed a thrilling match, but who would have thought that Skeleton would make a big move at that critical moment?

An overbearing person was more likely to make a mistake once mocked – and it was actually the case.

"Go! Let's change the topic on the forums to… Executed Norton IG kid!" Solon said.

"Boss.. isn't that too much?" the staff questioned.

"This is called giving him a taste of his medicine. We cannot let Earth be looked down upon!"

"Roger!"

Another story gradually unfolded on the forum section. "How did Yuan Long miss?"

"Did he suddenly feel unwell?"

"This Earthling is too lucky."

"F*ck, I hate this feeling. He had already thrown his weapon on the floor and yet still managed to attain victory."

"Request for a rematch!"

"Coward! How could that Earthling turn this into a psychological battle? We fight with guns and swords!"

..... People automatically ignored the contestant's dialogue and only believed in what they saw.

The vast majority of the spectators thought it was because of good luck and laughed at Skeleton's psychological strength.

Some did not laugh but instead felt that something was amiss.

This was not a psychological battle. Yuan Long was obviously not an idiot. Any IG competitor was definitely mentally strong, unless they were to say that the Milky Way Alliance military consisted of pigs.

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun were both doubtful. The two were playing the video in slow motion, attempting to analyse the battle. It seemed as though no move was made by Skeleton. It was indeed a battle of wills. Perhaps the result could be due to the opponent's stupidity as he had fallen for such a simple trick.

"Ailun, how about we just let it be. We can't find anything different compared to the official site…"

These days of summer were great. It was all thanks to Xiao Fei's appreciation that he could come home and enjoy his special status.

"Little Xiu, come and play with older sister."

"Stop watching those useless things, Little Xiu. Let's go swimming."

"Second and Third Sister, I am busy," Chen Xiu replied.

A massive window overlooked the sea and a beautiful scenery. There was an outdoor pool in the yard, and the two beauties started swimming. They were joined by a voluptuous girl carrying a drink in one hand.

"Sis, Chen Xiu is turning into an otaku. We should drag him out here."

"You guys… are truly bullying your brother every day."

Chen Xiu felt helpless. Growing up, girls did not like to play with him because of his beautiful sisters. It left other girls feeling inferior.

Now that he was finally in college, he was finally rid of them.

"Slow down the speed by three times and start with an analysis of the angle of attack. I feel that something is amiss; there must be some reason to why he is hesitating to attack," Yao Ailun said.

"Will he get a stomachache?"

"Impossible. He survived IG training. It's not as though we don't know what Wang Zheng has already experienced. I don't think this can be worse than what happened on the Norton Star. We are unlikely to have made a mistake. No problem!"

Student Ailun's logical answer was extremely persuasive. There was no reason to worry at all!

Tch… when would things ever be so simple?

Chen Xiu only half believed his words, but he continued to act all the same. After which, Chen Xiu's eyes widened. The two mecha's 3D projections were being broken down into numerous lines of data.

1… 2… 3…

Each movement made… looked like it was glitched.

"Brother Ailun… could it be…?"

"There is a possibility. Wild King is around, right? Let him take a look."

After Wild King received the analysis, he was momentarily dazed. His eyes were spinning with fervor. "F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!"

"Stop cursing, Wild King. Is there a problem here? We can't really tell with our skills."

"F*ck! I cant believe such a person exists. He is truly godly!"

"You b*tch, can you stop beating around the bush. Everyone is waiting for you to penetrate your chrysanthemum-flower-like behind!"

"It is said that among experts, there exists a certain godly state known as the All-Seeing state!"

Nothing could hide before it!

The Norton Star and Earth both released their own video analyses. However, the only thing they noted was that the Dragon King's nerves had been shaken and thus the opponent took advantage of that opportunity. Furthermore, Skeleton was an expert and would not have let that opportunity go.

Even though it was a victory, Solon also felt that the world beyond the Solar System was very dangerous. Just a trip to Norton Star already unearthed such an opponent, the Norton Star wasn't even one of the top regions!

Solon had a dream in his heart. One day, Skeleton would crush the likes of Aslan and Atlantis. However, this was just an idle fantasy. If Skeleton went there, he would be no more than a joke.

"Boss, the Skeleton Corps has sent a new video analysis…"

"Show it to me. I have to at least see what they bothered to send me."

One minute later. "Go! Immediately! Take down the original video. B*tch, b*tch, b*tch! Change it to this one!"

Solon start to scold the staff. Only when he was extremely excited would he act out of tune.

In just a brief moment, the number of VIP viewers left idling had exceeded 15 million. At this point, the new video analysis started to show.

Did the officials realize that they had made a mistake in the video they uploaded?

What kind of mistake could it be?

Earth's Invincible Flow! Nothing Can Hide Before It!

The previous videos did have a point. The last strike was a form of ridicule. Then in that case, why did Steel Dragon King hesitate?

Under a 10x slowdown of the scene, coupled with a 3D modelling breakdown of what happened, everyone's mouths were agape.

However, there was still some doubt. It seemed far fetched. If it was a lapse of judgment, then so be it. The actions were almost indiscernible.

At this point, the last piece of analysis was shown.

The Hercules had actually moved first. It had accurately predicted the movement. Only then did Yuan Long rush forward. He was slower by just a hair. Under the slow motion lenses, he had made a slight adjustment in his direction of movement. It was clear that he was going to execute yet another set of attacks. However, the Hercules had already positioned itself such that it could strike back without facing retaliation when Yuan Long attacked!

The screen froze at this point in time. The Hercules looked so nonchalant, like it was merely taking a stroll in a park.

That was the feeling everyone had upon seeing it.

It was not because he wanted to ridicule the opponent, neither was it a battle of wills!

The Hercules' position made use of a textbook concept known as the Dead Angle!

When experts fight, the most brutal sort of loss was known as having their plan seen through and countered!

Once one had been exposed, even the strongest fighters would be no different from a child in the opponent's eyes.

It was as though Skeleton was telling his opponent that they were not his match.

An uproar was heard from all the VIP viewers! From a gradually declining number of viewers, it suddenly shot up to almost 16 million!

This was the true reason for Yuan Long's depression. He was almost at the highest tier of players and thus he was not ignorant. However, as a result, the defeat was even more demoralizing.

This was also the reason why at the end, Yuan Long had said a single word. "Why?" After all, it has to be said that Yuan Long was a prodigious mech warrior. He had created a style of combat that combined both his natural physical prowess and his battle experiences that was uniquely his. Even when he was unmatched, he would still look for ways to improve. All of this only showed how much of a prodigy he was.

One battle later, he only had one thought on his mind: the opponent and him were from completely different worlds.

Could it be that the Earth truly possessed such skillful players?

In both regions, the CT viewers were completely shocked. How could this be?

It was not that Yuan Long was looking down on his opponent. Neither was it luck.

"God. If he was more serious, the opponent would have been crushed even more easily. Instead, he acted so pretentiously!"

"I knew it! How could one rely on luck to beat someone from Norton!?"

"Skeleton was worried that his opponent would be scared off and hence threw his shovel away! Little kid, you need to be more courageous!"

"What five times gravity? These Nortoners are just bragging. B*tch, let's go create a group to go stomp those Norton players!"

"Count me in! Let's go!"

The Skeleton Corps' flaming flag was being hoisted into the air. They started to flood the discussion forums. Norton had been conquered!

This was called creating a storm!

Of course, one could clearly tell what the result was like for those who decided to challenge the Nortoners in a team battle…

Yan Xiaosu was clearly ruminating over what had happened. This was truly awesome. Wang Zheng was a real man.

"What should we do, Boss? This video analysis seems quite accurate. Did you really perceive his attack?" Yan Xiaosu spoke in a pleading tone, trying to get the answer out of Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng smiled. "That's about right. Perhaps I truly have not stepped into that realm. What was important was to understand the direction of the opponent's spear thrust. Furthermore, he only utilized a very direct and frontal flurry of attacks. That made it even easier to perceive his actions. It doesn't count for much."

Bonehead had once mentioned what the true All-Seeing state was like. This was in the realm of the super soldiers. It was clear that he was still far away from such a state. This was just him seeing through the tricks.

Tyrant Su blinked his eyes. "It's so complicated. Can it be learned?"

Wang Zheng looked at Tyrant Su and he in turn glanced back. After half a moment, Tyrant Su waved his hand. "Forget it. You don't need to say it. I am just going to focus on this to the very end."

Wang Zheng smiled. This play thing was not worth learning. Fatty Su did not possess talent in this regard.

On the official forums, the recording for this battle shot to the top of the charts. Even the Moon, Mars, and even the Caragal Region had released their own video analyses. Yet none of them were better than Super Xiu's analysis.

Solon was grinning from ear to ear. He had almost ruined himself. The Earth Region's video analysis was the best. To be honest, they weren't really that good, but Super Xiu was the true expert.

The average video analyser did not possess the skills Chen Xiu had. This man was a physics genius!

Furthermore, Chen Xiu's ability to explain multidimensional spatial theory was the best in Ares College. Even Xiao Fei had to relent on this point.

Solon was very clear on what had to be done to retain these experts. He immediately sent a congratulatory message to the Skeleton Corps, at the same time offering Super Xiu a professional position as a video analyser.

Yao Ailun was extremely excited. Money was not important! What was important was that professionals were recognized… at the same time, he had now gotten another sum of money to play around with…

Granny's leg. 007's Wang Zheng already had his girl. Even Zhang Shan had gotten his own circle of admirers after changing departments. Only him and Chen Xiu had no hope.

"Xiu, CT has contacted me. They want to offer a contract for us to be professional analysts. I told you we were the best in this universe…"

Suddenly, Ailun, who had been talking to Chen Xiu, suddenly froze like a video recording that had been jammed.

In the doorway behind Chen Xiu appeared three beautiful ladies. One was mature and well developed. That alluring body left people's noses bleeding. In the middle of the three was a girl with long, black hair, something which Student Ailun loved. Lastly was a girl with a refreshing, short hairstyle whom seemed a bit younger than the rest. She even looked in Yao Ailun's direction and blinked her eyes a few times.

At this point, the three ladies surrounded Chen Xiu.

"Xiu… who are these three?"

Chen Xiu replied as he shook his head helplessly, "Sister, how many times have I said this before? When you enter my room, you have to knock on the door."

The mature girl patted Chen Xiu's head. "Why does Older Sis have to knock on your door to enter your room? Is this your friend? Nice to meet you."

The holographic Yao Ailun stood up straight. "Hello, Older Sister, it's nice to meet you. I am Yao Ailun, Chen Xiu's best friend and his dormitory mate."

Chen Yu gave a wry smile. "So you are Yao Ailun. I often hear Xiu Er talk about you. Please take good care of our dear Xiu Er."

"Older Sis, you can relax. Xiu Er is like my own little brother. With me guiding him, no one would dare to bully him in Ares College."

Yao Ailun patted his chest and his eyes twinkled radiantly.

"Okay, okay. Now all of you can get out. Really. Weren't you just swimming? Don't disturb me!" Chen Xiu spoke in an irritated tone.

"No one wanted to help us apply our sunscreen, dear Brother," the youngest of the three sisters, Chen Yan, said.

"Shoo! You're just a few seconds older than me!" Chen Xiu spoke unwillingly.

"We are waiting for you!" Second Sister Chen Ru said. Among the three sisters, Chen Ru had the best body, and just the sight of it caused Student Ailun to pinch his nose, preventing a nose bleed.

At this point, Chen Xiu was clearly indignant and he quickly ushered the three out.

"Ah. They will be the death of me. This is why I never want to come back home for the holidays," Chen Xiu said helplessly.

Yao Ailun had already been caught up in a frenzy. "Xiu Er, are we still brothers!?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Tomorrow I will book a ticket and come over!"

"Really? That's wonderful. I have no one to talk to. Let us go battle together!"

After turning off the Skylink, our dear Student Ailun was so happy that he was crying tears of joy. It looked like heaven was still taking care of him. It turned out that there was an opportunity just right beside him! Three beautiful ladies!

That dumb Chen Xiu, he truly did not appreciate things that were given to him.

Ye Zisu, An Mei, and Zhao Jing were currently drinking tea and chit chatting. Zhao Jing was not much older than them and had only graduated two years prior. Hence, they had a lot of common topics.

Truthfully, Zhao Jing was quite curious. She wanted to know more about this group of people. As Xiao Fei was just too famous, she was no longer just a representative of her field. It could be said that she represented all of the scientists of Earth. Furthermore, she was young and beautiful, and this easily created topics of discussion.

"Wang Zheng seems quite lucky. Why have I never met such a mentor?" Zhao Jing said.

Ye Zisu seemed dazed momentarily. "Why would you say that?"

Zhao Jing smiled. "What kind of mentor is willing to put their student's name on the credits of such an important work of research?"

Ye Zisu and An Mei looked at each other and laughed. "Sister Zhao, this is where you're mistaken. The reason for the research's breakthrough was Wang Zheng."

Zhao Jing was stunned. "How could this be? How old is he?"

"We don't want to believe it, but it is the truth. Furthermore, the original train of thought came from just a usual lesson's discussion," An Mei said proudly.

"But didn't he also pass the first round of IG selections? Furthermore, his results were excellent." Zhao Jing had difficulty believing it.
