Chapter 537: Ruling Power

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Qiangsen was now the main person recommended by the power that Meng Ao and the others belonged to. They hoped that he would be a breakthrough and break the old ugly habits of the Solar System army.

Of course, it was also because only people like Qiangsen would dare to take up such a dangerous position.

Wang Zheng was also quite touched. "After going out then I realized how backwards our Solar System is. To want to change it would really take quite a lot of effort."

Qiangsen's eyes shone with a strong glow. "It is precisely because of this, more people have to stand out. Wang Zheng, you represent the future of our Solar System, you have to hold on!"

Wang Zheng laughed, "Bro, don't frighten me. I'm just a student with narrow shoulders. I can't carry too many things."

"I know you have been treated unfairly but I hope that you can understand. Based on the current situation of the internals of the Solar System, we cannot change immediately. But there must be someone to initiate the change!"

Qiangsen said seriously.

Wang Zheng could feel the passion from Qiangsen's bones. This was definitely a real man who could sacrifice his life for the glory of the army. On this, Wang Zheng had no doubt at all.

"I will do my part." Wang Zheng was less passionate. To be honest, he really was infected by Qiangsen's passion but the encounters he had on Tita Star taught him a profound lesson.

His own dream had to be spoken of using strength.

Qiangsen nodded. "I hope I live to see the moment the Solar System rises."

Perhaps it was because they drank, the Qiangsen today was especially emotional. He chatted with Wang Zheng about many interesting things to do with his missions. While he did not specifically say which mission they were, but he still mentioned some of his good friends. But the more he said, the more he drank…

During the last mission, two of his brothers could never come back.

Seeing the drunken Qiangsen, Wang Zheng had many feelings in his heart. Just as Qiangsen thought, he also wanted to change. But this needed strength to be spoken of, and not slogans.

Like Qiangsen, his blood was still burning, but he was even clearer that to achieve this goal, just enthusiasm was not enough.

No matter what, Qiangsen was the model of his most admired soldier.

The things following after, Yan Xiaosu asked the people from the company to help. This kind of things they need not care about. After speaking to Qiangsen, Wang Zheng was very touched. There were some things that he could not accept now but perhaps he really needed to deeply understand them – what was righteousness, what the truth was, what was right and what was wrong.

At different stages, with different positions, there could never be unity. There was no doubt that Qiangsen was very clear on his goals and his standards and for them, he did not care for his life.

How about Wang Zheng himself?

He was still searching, but to him who was barely 20 years old, it seemed a little too early.

Usually, youths of this age were still at the stage of enjoying life.

Far away at Tita Star, the base of OMG had already begun to break ground. Russen was at the moment the person in charge of the whole project. He was also an experienced elder of OMG. From the start he very firmly supported Ye Zisu. The truth proved that his judgement was very accurate.

However he still underestimated Ye Zisu's ability. Even in his dreams, he did not think that they could get the Tita Star project. This meant that OMG would walk out of the Solar System and could compete with all those mercenary and finance groups.

He originally thought that he needed to prepare a large sum to build a base on this planet, after all, it was an emerging immigrant planet and human resources were certainly scarce. In addition to a variety of complex intertwining strength, the money to past through customs would not be little too. But in this period of time that he spent on Tita Star, he felt that he was going to be senile.

Were the people here all "crazy"?

A group of Giants were arguing at the construction site. "You guys from the Ling Shan tribe had already worked 1 week, this week it is the Qiu Shui tribe's turn!"

"Look at the small bodies of your Qiu Shui tribe, what if you guys delay the progress. This is Ada's place. It's better that the Ling Shan tribe take care of things." Shan Long said.

"Shan Long you are being shameless. We already agreed to halve it. If the Qiu Shui tribe are slower than you guys by 1 hour, I will give you my head." Mu Luo shouted. "Brothers, what say you."

The giants behind him roared in agreement.

Shan Long laughed. "Fine, don't embarrass Sir Titan. Next week we will come to take over from you guys."

"Haha, good, but whether it is your turn next week, that is difficult to say. The few tribes from the mountain giants have arrived too. At first they were all very proud but after being scolded by Sir Shan Meng they have come here to snatch work too."

Shan Long opened his mouth. "F**k, that group of embarrassing things, they have not even seen Ada before, what qualifications do they have, no, I'm going to reason with Sir Titan!"

A group of giants valiantly marched to argue for more work.

Russen did not know whether to laugh or cry. At Tita Star, the work efficiency of the giants was so much higher than mecha. Of course, the mecha engineering team was also essential but the work duration had shortened by so much. At the same time, their cost was greatly reduced. Furthermore, no one dared to collect money for customs fees from them as well.

This was still the second most important point. At the moment on Tita star, the only 2 companies allowed to produce mecha and giant armor were the Lan family and OMG. If this continued, this would be a market with unlimited prospects.

Though not spoken about publicly, it could be seen that the giants were closer to OMG due to Wang Zheng's influence, and it was not because of the Lan family. In fact, the Lan family people seemed to want to curry favor with this Wang Zheng.

As for Wang Zheng, Russen had also heard of him. He was good friends with Miss Ye. A student with no background yet he seemed to have a frightening influence.

It looked like he was really old now. He could no longer catch up with the generation. But it was also fortunate to be able to witness a brilliant time.

The first batch of ore had already been shipped to the Solar System. This was the research material of the KING company. It was also the first batch of mineral deposits shipped out of Tita Star recently. The giants were very crazy when they were mining. Of course, human factories were in the midst of building too.

The whole Tita Star was in the midst of enthusiastic construction and development. At the same time, it seemed less casual than before on the immigration aspects. The various conditions were more stringent and based on Tita Star���s situation; they definitely did not lack immigrants. At first he was worried about human resources but after the giants came out of the jungles and caves, suddenly there was no such problem.

And the giants really had very low demands. They were friendly and hospitable. As long as it did not destroy Tita Star, they were happy to help build.

Under the prerequisite that the environment was protected, they built an environment suitable for human and the Tita to live in. After all this would be more convenient. Of course, to express respect for the Tita, they had preserved quite a large part of the Tita autonomous region. They were not part of the modernization. After all, not everyone was willing to change.

But the people of Tita's walk towards technology could no longer be stopped.

From a world of hostility and now one that was relatively unified, Tita Star had also taken a big step forward.

Wang Zheng would get periodic updates from Ye Zisu and Lan Ling. He seldom participated in these events. Every individual had their specialization and he felt that it would be better if he did not orchestrate blindly. Every person could show their own strength to their fullest.

Chapter 538: The Appeal of the Ultimate Loli

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng also gave up on the idea to bring Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu into the World of Saints. This was not their forte, but they could think of ways to bring other people in.

But when Ye Zisu hired people to hack though this program code, there were problems. This type of encryption had no way of being copied. The technology the opposite side had was better. Except that he could not understand why would anyone use such a technology on a virtual world.

Wang Zheng could only think of other ways from elsewhere.

Wang Zheng did found a way from Tentacles. He heard that upon reaching a certain standard in the World of Saints, he could get an invitation card. Upon getting the invitation card, he could bring 1 person in.

As for Tentacles,…. Wang Zheng also did not know what to say. This guy was still squatting outside the Sanctuary, and he had really squatted his way to success – finally catching Wang Zheng.

This guy did not retaliate when beaten, did not rebut when scolded, he whole heartedly wanted to follow his boss.

"You have such good talent, why not just find a saint to follow, why must you follow me."

"Black bro, it's too sad to hear this from you. Don't you think that it's fate that we met? Look at me. I'm handsome, and not ambitious. And I still have combat power. I'm such a good underling." Tentacles' eyes sparkled with sincerity.

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing his words. "What the heck is it that you want from me? I really have nothing for you!"

"I can earn my own money, I believe in my own judgement. Black bro will become someone important in the future. Even if I want to follow a person, I also want to follow one that can conquer the world. Why do I need to look for the saints now? These guys will at most take me to be their third follower. If I want to hug a thigh, it takes strategy!"

Tentacles was full of reasons.

"Wang Zheng, just accept him, since he is so sincere then let him first find an invitation card as a sign of his loyalty."

Meng Tian came online. The icy beauty's voice seemed so soft in the World of Saints. Meng Tian's mask was in the shape of an icy cold water drop.

When Tentacles saw Meng Tian, he was stunned. His nose twitched and started sniffing here and there like a dog.

"Wow a beauty! Hi, I'm the number 1 underling of Black bro. May I know how old are you, do you have a boyfriend?"

In the World of Saints, Meng Tian's name was Ice Edge, a knife edge encased in ice. Upon hearing, you would know that it had the meaning of rejecting people a thousand miles away.

Meng Tian lightly linked her arms with Wang Zheng. "Why, are you are interested even in your boss's woman?"

Peng…

Tentacles fossilized and immediately smacked his head. "How did I not think of that, Hi big sister-in-law!"

Wang Zheng panicked a little. When did Meng Tian become so bold? It seemed that in the World of Saints, Meng Tian became open all of a sudden. Even though her icy cold personality did not change, but her movements were exaggerated.

Her skin was very smooth and cool. It was very comfortable to lean against her.

The mask did indeed bring great courage to Meng Tian.

"She's not big sister-in-law!" At this moment, a little white rabbit jumped out angrily and directly separated Wang Zheng and Meng Tian.

Upon hearing the voice, Meng Tian could guess who the other person was. After all, Huiyin's Aslan accent was still there, except that she did not expect that Lin Huiyin would appear here.

Lin Huiyin was like a protective little tiger, defending its territory and remained adamant about separating the two person.

"Why are you here?" Wang Zheng laughed.

"Hng, if I'm not here, you will be lured away by this fox spirit. Sister is not here, I'm going to monitor you on behalf of her!"

Lin Huiyin pushed out her chest to make her stance clear.

Tentacles who was beside turned very white and stared at Lin Huiyin. His nose could not stop moving.

"Oh god…my god….oh god…" Tentacles seemed a little entranced.

"Ahem, Little White is my sister. She is at the acolyte level, but you also don't need to be so exaggerated."

"Boss, this is the ultimate loli! Oh god, there actually is an angel level loli in the world. Oh, my god, lightning! Please strike me to death!"

Tentacles waved his arms and danced about, he almost went crazy.

Wang Zheng, and the other 2 were stunned. Was this guy born in the year of the dog, sensing all these just with his nose?

"Ahem, how do you know how she looks like? Maybe she looks terrifying." Wang Zheng laughed. Beside him, Lin Huiyin was not happy and pulled Wang Zheng's arms, shaking them.

Tentacles was serious. ���Black bro, you can't do that. Loli's are holy and cannot be violated. I believe that your sister is as beautiful as an angel. Don't doubt my professionalism. She radiates a dense yet pure energy. I've never seen such purity. Those who have such energy are royalty. Black bro, your background is not normal!"

Wang Zheng could not believe it. What, even his random blabbering hit the nail on the head too?

Little White Rabbit Huiyin on the other hand was very proud. Of course, she was actually a princess.

"Little Tentacles, you really know how to praise others. I accept you on behalf of my brother as his underling."

"Big brother, from now on you are my real brother, I'll do anything for you!" Tentacles deepened his voice and said. It was really as though he was speaking for his brother-in-law.

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You, stay far away from Rabbit."

Tentacles head shook like a rattle-drum. "Black bro, actually you don't know me. Even though my name is Tentacles, but I'm a pure kind hearted virgin. I will take protecting loli as my personal mission. They are my gods – to be seen from afar and not for pleasure."

Wang Zheng almost fainted. Why did he feel that that statement seemed even more evil than what he spoke before? Where did this guy come from?

Lin Huiyin looked proudly at Meng Tian. They were all very familiar. One look at this style, Lin Huiyin knew that this was the Meng Tian of the Solar System Team. She was always acting so high and mighty with her coldness, but brother Zheng did not like this type!

Aina's Skylink at the moment was still being controlled. The situation was worse than Huiyin had expected. At least now the Royal family had yet to lower their guard. Hence Huiyin took on the responsibility and obligation to look after Wang Zheng.

"How about this, Black bro, give me 3 days' time and I'll definitely get an invitation card!"

After saying he rushed out immediately. He was so excited, as though he had taken some drugs. He was already like this even before he saw Huiyin…

"There are quite a lot of weirdos now." Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Hng, that is my appeal!" Lin Huiyin said proudly. Even without her status as a princess, she was still a great beauty.

"You this little girl, what do you know about appeal." After saying he patted Lin Huiyin's head.

Lin Huiyin did not evade, on the other hand she enjoyed it, like a little kitten. "I'm not small anymore."

Meng Tian knew that this little princess was angering her on purpose. But Aina and Wang Zheng were really not suitable. Not to say that Aina was not good, but after so many things had happened, it already proved that Aina did not have the ability to have such a relationship.

"Meng Tian, how's your training for your Blade Technique?"

"Already reached the mid-level. I learned a lot. While my Ice Soul Technique still cannot be trained, but I understand that once I use it, it will boost my strength greatly!" Meng Tian said.

"That's good. Make good use of time. If you can reach C ranked ability X, you should be able to take part together in the test this round for the Elite Academy X."

Meng Tian nodded. "Princess Huiyin, you better keep monitoring Wang Zheng or else he will very possibly be snatched away."

This made Lin Huiyin so angry. This icy cold Meng Tian actually initiated a challenge. But in reality, Meng Tian would really not do that. The virtual world was a very interesting place. It opened people's eyes and let other personalities come to light.

"Ahem, Huiyin, don't be angry. Meng Tian is just joking." Wang Zheng laughed.

"Hng, of course I know that. She wants to make me angry on purpose. I'm not falling for that. Brother Zheng, sister cannot use Skylink now, but she is always worried about you." Huiyin said. Actually she wanted to explain more but she did not know how to say it. This was the sadness being born in the royal family. In the past she had no feeling, but now that she really experienced it, it made her feel so helpless.

Wang Zheng laughed and nodded. "I know."

With this sentence, Lin Huiyin did not know how to continue because she could feel the implications of that sentence.

The 2 of them changed the topic to training. At first he thought that Lin Huiyin was a powerful player. In the end he realized that she really was using money to level her way up and reached the acolyte level before stopping there. She could not advance further. Of course, she did not intend to reach any higher too. As a princess, the reality was much more interesting and eventful.

Today, Wang Zheng's main training was to train well and understand the Blade Technique fully. Huiyin actually did not need to accompany him but Huiyin said that she had nothing on.

Wang Zheng stayed in the training room and trained 8 Point Blade Technique. To him, to learn such a fighting style was not difficult. However what he needed was the experience gained with the accumulation of time. No matter how fast he was, time was still needed.

Lin Huiyin just sat happily at a side, humming some unknown song, looking very relaxed.

Chapter 539: The Only One

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Meanwhile, on the acolyte level there was a new two-person group – one was called The Only One and the other called Mad Puppy. This group caused an uproar, mainly because they were reckless and ruthless. They totally ignored the rules.

In the World of Saints, to many people, they needed to hug the thighs of someone stronger to survive. But those like Mad Puppy were simply unique, he was literally the model of a professional lackey.

Mad Puppy was of the wood attribute, the original normal wood attribute fighting style all were characterized by calmness and gentleness. But the fighting style of Mad Puppy was obviously different. Attracting wind with a big tree, swift and sly like a rabbit, burning wood to attract thunder. He was an explosively fierce tiger, his speed was fast and strikes were strong. Also, obviously his ability was not weak but he loved to sneak up from people's back and attack. He was all sorts of despicable.

At the moment, it was not known what abilities the Only One had. But the trials on the acolyte level were almost all completed by him.

Logically speaking, there were only 2 of them. Even if they were stronger, they should be a little more low-key. But these two were reckless and extravagant. The few powers that were dissatisfied with them all suffered losses. Seeing that nothing happened to the 2 of them, the average person no longer dared to provoke them.

From the aspect of pure power, these 2 were people who would sooner or later enter the saint level. The other powers were too lazy to provoke them because of this reason.

They were not afraid of unreasonable people, not afraid of suicidal people, but afraid of this type of despicable, sinister and difficult to handle people.

Fatty touched the Mad Puppy mask that he was wearing on his face and barked twice. He felt that this World of Saints was very interesting. Life was like a dream and this type of ghostly place was like a dream. He could play without regards and actually the rules in this type of place were so much simpler than the outside world.

The Only One and Mad Puppy were no other than Lear and Luo Fei.

While that mysterious white robed man might have some connections, but to Lear, he never liked to put his fate in the hands of others. He used the resources of the chronos family and ordered a dissection of the codes of the World of Saints program. However, they learned nothing. The technology used was of a totally unknown AI technology. Not to say the source code, even the surface level signal mechanisms could not be cracked.

The unsettling thing for Lear was the fighting styles available in the World of Saints. It actually included the chronos Family's fighting style! The fighting style that the chronos Family got in the first place was not even the complete style.

The one available was even more advanced!

Were all those of the Saint Church not been killed a long time ago? And they were rising up again? Moving from the front to back stage, they have become harder to deal with.

But, Lear had to enter this World of Saints. He wanted a breakthrough and he had to find the rest of the chronos Family fighting style in here!

"Boss, it's so boring now. No one actually wants to challenge us anymore."

Luo Fei barked for half a day and still no one came to them looking for trouble. His could not stand his itchy hands and kept winking at Lear. He was hinting at Lear whether or not he could initiate fights and look for others for trouble?

Luo Fei's personality hid an extremely bloodthirsty and combat loving side. But in reality, this side was always suppressed. Morals and law were like shackles which locked very deeply the beast in his heart. But upon entering the World of Saints, it was as though he had entered a lawless beautiful new world. The beast in Luo Fei's heart completely broke free of its seal and it was just that it had not gone mad at the moment.

Lear who was wearing a golden pharaoh mask looked at Luo Fei and nodded his head lightly. The fierce beast that did not see blood often would sooner or later turn into a useless home dog. He let Luo Fei follow him was not because Luo Fei was very loyal or a very good lackey. Based on his ability and status, on the background of the chronos Family, he could have as many loyal lackeys as he wanted. In this world there would never be a lack of people who were willing to exchange their life for a good future.

Luo Fei cheered and rushed out.

Very quickly, news of the Mad Puppy biting spread on the level of the disciples. Anyone who saw a person wearing a puppy mask should run away quickly! This guy was simply like a mad dog, biting anyone he saw. Also, it was biting randomly and he activated his forced duel mode. He did not care at all whether he would be losing or earning, he was very reckless!

Luo Fei did not care much for time in the World of Saints. He was here to accompany Lear. As for his heck-care attitude for results, his indifference to losses or gains and yet with such a strong ability, he was a mad man that everyone avoided.

"Let's go to the Saint level." Lear said lightly.

Lear had already understood the general situation of the acolyte level. There was no need to waste too much time on this kind of low level place. The Saint level was the place that controls the secret. As for the so-called 5 saints, they all had to die.

The trial hall.

When Lear and Luo Fei appeared here, they attracted a lot of attention.

The Only One had not officially showed his moves in the World of Saints yet. Every time there was trouble, it was always Mad Puppy who rushed out to bite people. Hence most of the attention was focused on Luo Fei's Mad Puppy mask. Ferocious and maniac, it seemed like this world had released the other extreme side of Luo Fei.

"That Mad Dog is coming."

"Hehe, I'd like to see how the mad dog bites."

"These 2 are crazy, stay away from them. Haven't you heard the Wind Dragon Group went crazy because of the 2 of them? These 2 guys are sinister and wretched, and specialize in sneak attacks."

"Hush, speak softly, don't mess with them."

The people on the acolyte level during this period of time had tasted all the bitterness from this team of the Only One and Mad Puppy. It was very seldom that newbies dared to be so reckless. Yet the 2 of them were very adept at using rules, causing their opponents to be unable to play to their advantage. Of course the important thing was that these 2 did not lack money at all.

"The trial is going to be open soon."

Lear brought Luo Fei and walked towards the trial's door.

The aura of Luo Fei's Mad Puppy cleared a path in front of them. The trial hall which was so crowded and yet no one wanted to fight with him.

This was also normal. Whoever came first or later, they were all here for the trial, so they were willing to let the two of them try first. After all, they would not lose anything. There were many powerful players here and for all who was a little generous would really not care.

Hong long long, the trial's door shook and contracted before suddenly jerking open. A green swirl of light opened.

The trial had opened. The trial opening this time was the Soul Trial!

The Soul Trial was very different from the usual trials. The usual trial could be tried with ability and fighting styles, as long as you were strong enough, and your fighting style was good enough, it would not be a problem to pass the trial.

But the Soul Trial was totally different. It tested on the individual's will. Some people even thought that it tested a person's soul.

This type of trial on the acolyte level was definitely of the highest level of difficulty. It was very rare.

It was said that this trial could dig out the weakness of human nature and destroy you in the place you were weakest, exposing the things you were most afraid of.

"Boss, let me try first?"

Luo Fei was very eager to try. Fatty Luo thought about it. His fear was long eliminated with all the various training that Lear had planned for him. In the past he was afraid of spiders and in the end Lear locked him up for 7 days in a room full of spiders. There was only water in the room and no food. After 7 days…the only living thing left in that room was Luo Fei, there were no spiders left.

Of course they were all eaten. He overcame his fear. The taste of spiders was alright, they were chewy.

Luo Fei thought about it. It looked like his biggest fear now was… nagging from beauties!

He wondered if upon entering the trial a bunch of naked ladies would rush towards him?

Thinking about it…it was really a little scary!

Lear glanced at the little fatty and nodded.

Luo Fei barked and rushed towards the trial's door.

Hong…

The little fatty's eyes were suddenly met with darkness.

This was interesting, did it thought that his fear was darkness? It looked like the so-call Soul Trial was not that bad…

"Who turned off the lights?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from a corner.

His heart jumped. Luo Fei's heart beat quickened.

"Switching off the lights? Who turned off the lights!"

Lear's voice!

But, wasn't he in the trial?

Er, what trial? Who turned off the lights? His brain was in a mess.

Pa da, bright white light suddenly lit up. It was so piercing that he could barely open his eyes.

A smiling Lear stood before him.

"Gu nong, Boss!"

Lear started at him, in his eyes were cold killing intent!

"Wastrel, such an easy trial and you can't pass, causing us to be expelled!"

"Boss…this, I just walked in and I'm out already. I'm also not sure what happened. For real…" Luo Fei quickly waved his hands.

Pa!

In an instant, Lear's right hand grabbed Luo Fei's neck fiercely.

"Waste like you only deserves to die!�� Lear's voice was filled with disappointment and coldness.

Lear's right hand was like an iron clamp, clamping on his life!

Was he dying?

Wait, wait for a while, why?

This was not real. Suddenly Luo Fei seemed to recall something.

Why was he not resisting?

This should be fake. It was a trial, it was fake!

…

What was the use of resistance?

Why did he not resist?

…

Luo Fei woke with a shock, his face was blank. He failed to pass the trial and was ejected out of the trial area. He sat on the floor beside Lear.

Lear was still looking faintly at him. People surrounding all had an expression like they were watching a joke. It was obvious that these 2 had very poor relations with people. Except that they were afraid of the bite of the Mad Puppy and did not laugh out loud.

"Get up." Lear said lightly.

It was only then Luo Fei reacted and shivered. F**k, luckily it was just a dream, he was scared to death!

"Even if you beat me to death I'm not trying this Soul Trial anymore." While Luo Fei knew that this was not real, he could not attack Lear.

Lear looked lightly at Luo Fei but did not say anything. He turned and walked into the trial's door.

There was 1 good thing about Lear. Even if he wanted to kill Luo Fei, he would never do it in front of outsiders.

With his treatment of Luo Fei, this guy should not have any other things that he was afraid of.

Lear was very curious too. What would he be met with here?

Hong long long!

Lear had just entered the trial's door.

Suddenly, the whole trial burst with red light and something changed.

Saint test!

It caused a sensation outside!

The disciple level saint test. While there was a certain probability but appearing at the Soul Trial, this was a first!

This trial of this type of difficulty, once it was raised to the level of the saint trial, it was…deadly!

"F**k, are you kidding me, this is the 2nd time this month! When did the saint test become so common?"

"Shit, why is it not me?"

"You better save it, do you think that the saint test is random? But… The Only One is quite unlucky. He actually had the Soul Trial on the saint test mode. Heh heh."

Chapter 540: The heartless path

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The old disciples who had been in the World of Saints for a few years blinked but they let out sarcastic laughter instead

A saint trial appeared on the disciple level and it already caused a sensation. This was good. The saint trial actually also appeared on the acolyte level's Soul Trial. This level of difficulty was to the sky. You should know that this type of trial could make people feel helpless. It was not something humans could withstand.

"What?"Fatty Luo's ears were really as sharp as dog ears. Deng deng deng, he rushed over in a few steps, grabbed that person's arm and asked.

"Let go of me….."

"Say, why is he unlucky? Don't you believe that I will bite off your arm!"Luo Fei's eyes were very scary.

"Ahem, well you just went through the Soul Trial, do you think that you can go through that type of terrifying test again?"

Luo Fei was stunned and shook his head. How was that possible, based on his situation, no matter what he could not pass.

"And that is the most basic Soul Trial. Now it has entered the saint test program, the difficulty level is more than doubled. Besides, the other saint tests if you failed, you merely fail. This Soul Trial can hurt a person's spirit. If youre not careful, heh heh, it can be dangerous." The old disciple attracted the attention of those around him and told the story eloquently.

As he said, suddenly, the color of the trial's door turned dark purple. The whole trial area became a chaotic mess…

The old disciple's expression changed instantly and cried out: "That's impossible!"

Luo Fei's eyes turned icy. The hand grabbing the old disciple grasped harder. "What's going on?"

"You let go first…The saint test and the test to rise to the saint level had opened at the same time! This…is completely out of our control now. He's done for, done for. Your friend is done for. With just the saint test, if failed, it will hurt the spirit, causing spiritual harm to people, now…if he fails, the harm caused is permanent, he can even enter a vegetative state!"

While he was saying that, the people around them had gloating eyes. Who told them to be such jerks, let the trial kill you guys!

A forest, pitch black forest. He could not see his fingers when he stretched out his hands.

Terrifying voices were hidden in the darkness like the demons from hell. At any time, it would be prepared to reach out its demonic claws. He had to hurry to the camp. Predators under the cover of darkness were only more dangerous.

Raising his head, the lush canopy covered the sky, blocking the sky. There were sounds of landing. It was the jumps between the trees by the nocturnal flying squirrels.

Lear suddenly stopped in his tracks. He seemed to have become smaller, as though he was back to when he was just 10 plus years old.

Where was the camp?

And….why was he here?

He remembered. This was the horror forest that was the birthday present that old man gave to him for his 12th birthday. He was thrown in the horror forest for 7 days and 7 nights.

Lear smiled coldly. This was interesting; it actually could lead a person into a trance in an instant. He forgot that he was in the midst of a trial and almost thought that all these were real.

Careful steps became a strolling pace. A pack of wolves blocked his way. The eyes in the dark were like ghosts, exactly like when he was 12 years old.

That was a bloody battle and eventually he survived. He fought like a beast. The 12 years old him used his teeth to bite the wolf pack to death.

Similarly he was now even more fearless. A childish illusion!

Instantly, the surroundings turned bright!

"Boss, you are so awesome. The first to succeed this trial!"

Luo Fei jumped over and as usual, praised him.

Lear lightly nodded and then his life went on smoothly. Very quickly, the white robed man was impressed by his talent and strength. He knelt in front of him and acknowledged him as the inheritor of the ancient civilizations, making him the King of the generation.

Time passed quickly like a flying arrow, like the flowing river. Lear was already the indisputable king of the Solar System. Borrowing the power of the Saint Church, he moved in the direction of ruling the Milky Way Alliance.

The Chronos Family's Ancestor Worship Ceremony…

Lear stood on the stage and looked at the old man – the terrifying old man of the past. At this moment, he was sitting on a wheelchair, relying on a support machine to breathe. This was his own masterpiece.

After the ceremony, he would bury this old man completely.

"Very good, you have already learned how to be ruthless. Now I can tell you about that thing. You always suspected that I killed your dad, my own son. Actually, I did not. These facts were only hidden. Your father is a talent but a pity that he is more interested in women. You are a genius and I cannot let you follow in his footsteps. It will only make you indecisive."

"So I let you think that they have already died. Actually they are still alive and you have now matured."

Lear was stunned then he saw a couple walking over from the side.

Father and mother….?

"Lear, my baby, we finally can meet."

Mother shed tears and rushed over, hugging him tightly.

A familiar scent, a deep memory of him in his mother's arms when he was young.

"Lear, you have done well. You are no doubt my son. These few years… you've had it hard."

Father's gentle smile, the smiling wrinkles at the edge of mouth were much deeper than he remembered. Father had also aged a lot.

"Congratulations boss, a family reunion and you even rule the Milky Way Alliance!"

Luo Fei jumped out at the right timing to praise. This guy also grew a beard, except he was fatter than before, like a ball.

Lear smiled. This was really good.

His parents were alive and well. He had great power and the chronos Family had already become the first family in the Solar System. In the Milky Way Alliance, he also supported numerous powerful political spokespersons. As for political potential, even if it were the Aslan Royal family, they might not be more influential than the chronos Family now. The Aslan Royal family still wanted to form a marriage alliance with him – whether it was with the older or younger princess, it was up to him.

But…but…what a pity…

At this full of pride moment, Lear sighed deeply instead.

He pulled out his sword and slashed.

Fresh blood sprayed everywhere. His mother looked at him with disbelief and fell to the ground. His father roared and sprang towards him. "Are you mad, what are you doing!"

He waved lightly, his sword, another slash!

His father's angry face froze and dropped to the ground.

Did Lear go mad?

"I have not passed yet? Must I kill everyone?"

Ka cha!

The smiling Luo Fei was cut into 2 with 1 slash.

The next one was the old man on the wheelchair.

Then the next, the next and the next next…

Until blood flowed like a river, Lear's eyes still remained steadfast.

Hong…..

The scenes surrounding him finally twisted and then flickered between light and darkness. Lear was back to the trial hall again.

It felt like a century had passed.

Seeing him appear, the noisy trial area suddenly fell as silent as a graveyard. Lear's gaze swept pass. Everyone subconsciously took a step back.

Was this still human?

What level of ruthlessness had to be achieved before he could come out of such a trial?

There was fearful respect in everyone's eyes. Luo Fei rushed over, laughing away: "Boss, congratulations on passing through. I knew it. This type of tricks is just like a small drizzle!"

Lear looked at Luo Fei and smiled. He patted the fatty's shoulders. "Let's go.���

Luo Fei nodded and suddenly could not hold back his question. "Boss, what exactly is inside that thing?"

"Nothing more than a dream."

Luo Fei blinked. A dream?

At a side, on the stone of the Soul Trial, naturally, the name The Only One was carved up there. Except, different from the colors of the other names, it was the color of blood, red!

The Only One!

Also, not to say, in the time with Lin Huiyin's company, Wang Zheng was quite peaceful and could easily focus when training. All along, Wang Zheng was too lonely. His parents were not by his side and Old Merchant had disappeared. There was no concept of family in his life and Lin Huiyin was strangely close to him and liked to be affectionate. She really made Wang Zheng feel as though he had a younger sister. Even though the identity of this younger sister was a little scary.

Two days later, Tentacles came back. He had not only returned but also with an invitation card.

Except, the invitation card did not seem to be the main point. He looked around, looking for traces of Huiyin. Wang Zheng finally understood what Tentacles meant. Some of those evil films often would have those tentacle monsters appearing with the bobbing little lolis. This guy was really very wretched.

Regardless of whether Huiyin was just casually speaking or not, he had really brought an invitation card over. Thus Wang Zheng still accepted it.

"Thanks Black bro. You rest assured, I, Tentacles, will never disappoint you. Also I heard that while you can train alone on the disciple level, at the saint level, you need a team. This is even more so if you want to become the saint." Tentacles was very happy seeing Wang Zheng accepting his invitation card.

Wang Zheng nodded. This person knew quite a lot. In this virtual world, actually no one knew each other. Besides, many people still wore masks. At least this Tentacles himself did not wear one.

Generally those wearing masks were most likely cautious of revealing their real identities, Wang Zheng as well. He was not afraid of trouble but he was afraid of causing trouble, especially for the people around him. After chatting with Qiangsen, he felt that this reason this manly guy changed was not because of his own experiences, rather, it was more for the people around him.

He was indifferent if it affected only him but he could not bring down his brothers. Hence he needed to change himself, he needed to become stronger and control fate. This was true strength.

"Black bro, I see that you do not have any battle records yet. You should accumulate some. To advance to the acolyte level, you only need to complete the regular training and then complete 6 trials. Then you have to win 6 out of 10 formal battles."

Suddenly, Tentacles was interested in going to the acolyte level. In the past when he was alone, he felt that going up was no better than him staying comfortably in the disciple level.

Wang Zheng took one look at Tentacles and suddenly understood what he meant. He had seen his level and of course, most likely, he wanted to show Wang Zheng his level as well.

"Sure, let's go to the arena."

Every level had a specialized arena. It was not the random duels by the road but specifically entering a battle area with randomly arranged opponents.

Tentacles was also excited. He finally had the opportunity to show off. He was definitely powerful in the disciple level. You would know when you reached the arena.

He opened his own control bar and chose to enter the levelling duel.

Actually, based on his battle records, Tentacles could already level, but then there was a relatively large group of people like him. These people had already reached the level of leveling up but they did not. Most have taken a look at the higher levels and realized that it was not suitable for them. Their ability was not there yet and rather than go to the higher level maps, it was more comfortable down here.

After all, everyone had different talents, but their presence cause fear to be felt by the average player. At the same time, they piqued quite a bit of interest.

Chapter 541: Charge

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Of course, the true masters clearly weren't bothered by this. At least for Lear and gang, they passed the first level effortlessly. Such was the difference in thinking and mentality. Lear was ambitious. He wouldn't waste his time on such low levels, and would charge through the level as soon as he had a rough understanding of it. Moreover, he felt it was embarrassing to waste time at such places. Who knew if someone from the Saint Church was keeping an eye on them from a corner?

Wang Zheng saw this differently. The most basic areas were in fact the most significant areas. The core was never-changing. The so-called "higher levels" were just helping to develop one's specialisations. One's foundation was tempered at the lower levels.

Of course, this came from Bonehead's training and management right from the very beginning. The smaller something seemed, the more precious, and complicated changes came from seemingly simple things.

Entering the sequence of the final battle, Wang Zheng saw lines after lines of people. They were all here for the last battle.

Some of them had begun fighting, and anyone could watch, as long as they pay a nominal viewership fee.

On top of that, those dueling were not allowed to reject others from watching.

Tentacles went on first, and invited Wang Zheng to watch. After all, he now had a follower, and wanted to show Wang Zheng his worth.

Tentacles was rather popular. Many came to watch their duel. Here, people did not watch matches for fun. They had to pay to watch, and it was not cheap. Even the lowest tiered entrance tickets cost ten thousand dollars. Hence, only those matches that were of a certain standard attracted an audience.

Tentacles entered the arena. The opponent wore a mask, too. It was Someone he didn't know, who went by the name of Mad Scamper.

The level of disciples did not involve weaponry. It was all bare-handed fights. With a wave of his arm, Tentacles made a signal to indicate a free fight.

Wang Zheng smiled. The pose was very accurate. It showed that he had some training. Boxing technique was something all pilots had to learn, too. Only then, could they perform well in physical matches.

It was the same for other martial arts. You'd have to have adequate technique to be able to display your physical strength, or it would all be useless.

The Mad Scamper had no intention of dueling right away. "Tentacles, the Wind Group is intrigued by your capabilities. This would be a test for you to join us."

The Wind Group was one of the larger organisations in the world of Saints. They had members in all three different levels, but when it was time to assess someone, they would send out members from another level.

Tentacles was taken by surprise. They had obviously used a tracking card to be directly matched to him in the duel. That thing cost a bomb, too.

""I'm sorry, but I'm already following someone else. You're too late," Tentacles said, smiling.

"Oh really? Who would that be?"

"There is no need for you to know about that. Moreover, I have no interest in the Wind Group whatsoever."

The Mad Scamper looked coldly at Tentacles. "You're naive and arrogant, aren't you? Too bad you got one thing wrong. You have no say in this matter. You should be honoured that the Group has taken interest in you! Bring it on!"

Tentacles flicked his hair. "Why do such narcissistic people still exist? You're not a loli!"

Zoom!

Tentacles struck, launching the Eight Point Blade Technique to its fullest. The instant flying kick was extremely fast and accurate. This person had obviously been trained, and had a certain level of background in boxing.

Everything that was reflected in the World of Saints was something personal.

But the fast and forceful leg strike missed. The opponent had just taken a step back, and Tentacles missed. Tentacles readied himself to continue attacking, but the opponent had taken the offensive. In the speed of lightning, he had moved to Tentacles' side. The warning lasted a mere instant. His Ability X activated. Tentacles dodged aside quickly.

He was surprised. His Ability X was speed, and his element was wood, leaning towards wind. That had made him particularly confident of his speed.

But the opponent had closed in, crashing a punch right in. Tentacles subconsciously put up a defense, and… Boom!

His body flew, but his still had a sense of balance. However, the opponent followed up, crazily launching attacks from all directions, so much so that Tentacles was only left with the ability to defend.

Wang Zheng looked on calmly. The opponent had used a Sixteen Point Blade Technique's understanding to improve his abilities here. Even though he could only use up to the Eighth Point on this level, his understanding on the Technique was in a totally different place.

Trainings usually came in three stages. First – the mountain you see is the mountain. Then, the mountain is you see is not a mountain. And finally, the mountain you see is what it really is.

Similarly, in the first stage, what one saw was just the surface, and can be easily interpreted right away. It required speed, accuracy, and viciousness. Come to the second stage, there were deeper layers of thinking involved. Every punch took into considerations of many different aspects, and involved continuation, prediction, and so on. A simple punch may encompass various changes within, but it was still merely a punch. But when it came to the third stage, on top of speed, accuracy and viciousness, there was control.

And thus, even if it's the same level of prowess, those in the higher stage would still turn the ones in the lower stage into pulp.

The Mad Scamper was a master of the same category, and had the same background in Thai Boxing. But when it came to the level of understanding, he was much better than Tentacles. Tentacles was dead meat.

Tentacles was beaten into depression. He felt as if he was unable to perform. He knew that the opponent was able to beat him down because of their difference in stages. He had a similar encounter before, but it was not as powerful as this.

The Wind Group was a well-known organization in the World of Saints that specifically took in people with Wind type Ability X. There were many things in this world that happened against people's wills. Here, once taken notice of, you either join them or get forced to leave this place.

The reason why they created such an image for themselves was just so that people wouldn't dare to fight back. It was easy to deal with one man. But what about facing an organisation?

It wasn't just the Wind Group. Most organisations including the Five Holy Sons were the same. Regardless of the world, so long as men existed, the way things worked was through one rule – the survival of the fittest.

The Mad Scamper's Thai Boxing techniques were sharp. Coupled with the force that came from the high speed, Tentacles was beaten so much so that he could do nothing apart from trying to defend.

To put it simply, he was being bullied.

"You've got a pretty good foundation. Join the Wind Group and you'd be considered one of our own," the opponent said, landing a punch on Tentacles's face.

"Buzz off! I only join groups that have a future."

"Listen to a dead man talk!"

The opponent kneed right into Tentacles's chest. Tentacles's pupils shrank. Duels simulated one hundred percent of the sensations felt.

A high kicked landed immediately afterwards, smacking right on the neck. Just watching the kick land alone made people feel nervous.

Boom…

Tentacles was beaten onto the ground. The Mad Scamper stepped on Tentacles's face. "I'll give you one day to think about it. Otherwise, you shall never show up in here ever again!"

The duel ended. Tentacles was defeated.

Leaving the arena, Tentacles gave a self-mocking smile. His face had turned pale. A battle like that would definitely cause mental traumas.

"I'd wanted to show what I can do, but it had turned into a sad story. I'm sorry."

Tentacles turned around to leave. He had wanted to put on a good show, but now that things have taken such a turn, he was too embarrassed to stay.

Wang Zheng stopped Tentacles. "Is there anything such as seeking vengeance in the World of Saints? Let's say I'd like to go up against that person from earlier on."

Tentacles was stunned. "There is a vengeance card. But let's just forget it. They are masters from the Wind Group. They came here from a different level."

Tentacles sounded upset. Anybody humiliated this way would certainly feel upset. It was also the reason why they didn't want to advance into the level of Believers. The higher they climbed, the more organisation and groups, and the stricter the level of control. In comparison, being a Disciple gave them more freedom.

There was quite a huge crowd that had gathered to watch the duel that took place earlier on. And by now, they were all buried in discussion, too. It was a good thing to be met with an organisation's recruitment this way. Why would he take it so seriously?

"That vengeance card thing, do you have one?"

"Yea, you…" Tentacles was stared for a second, and shook his head. "Forget it, such things happen frequently here. You'll surely encounter it on your own in future."

"Heh. I like these things. Moreover, don't you want to take a look at the standards of the person you're following? If I get beaten up into pulp, we can suffer together. That's better than you suffering all on your own," Wang Zheng chuckled.

Tentacles paused for a moment, and took out a vengeance card.

Underneath the mask, Wang Zheng smiled. He crushed the vengeance card in his hand. A battle like that would not be taken into consideration for advancement onto the next level, but that was unimportant.

The Mad Scamper completed his mission. There were plenty of people like him, who thought they were great. Their little bit of talent led them to think that they were good. They simply lacked a good beating. Beat them up a few times, and they'd know where they really stand.

All of a sudden, he was challenged to a vengeance match.

Mad Scamper laughed. Damn, there really were people who did know the difference between life and death. I don't believe this. I'll teach you your place!

Entering the battle arena, Mad Scamper stared at the idiot wearing the black iron mask standing before him. Look at how confident he seems. A moron who stood a zero chance of winning.

Upon hearing that someone had used a vengeance card for Tentacles, the crowd went wild. Those who sought out a match like that were either highly skilled, or were simply jokers. Everybody knew the opponent was someone from the Wind Group, and how would anybody dare to stir things up even more? Forget being beaten up, just lay low and disappear for a period of time, and they would let things slide. Courting for trouble this way? They would definitely punish and torture you to death just to protect the reputation of the group.

"Eh? That person name sounds really familiar."

"Damn! Isn't that the one who triggered the Saints' Training at the disciple level?"

"It seems like it. There can't possibly be another person with a silly name like Charcoal."

Mad Scamper looked at the idiot before him. Charcoal? Charcoal my ass. "You're the one who came out from a crack on a stone. How dare you court trouble from the Wind Group?" Then, Mad Scamper waved his arm. "Forget it, I have no interest in knowing anything about an useless creature like you."

Zoom!

The Mad Scamper charged wildly. This was different from when dealing with Tentacles. When beating up Tentacles, his intention was to teach him something, which was why he didn't kill him. But for trash like this, he did not want to waste his time.

Looking at the fast and furious Mad Scamper, the Charcoal appeared to be in shock, standing there, motionless.

Tentacles was stumped. What was he doing?

Did he really want to get tortured too?

He only liked being tortured by Lolly!

Seeing how shocked his opponent appeared to be did not make the Mad Scamper more merciful. He gave a high speed, furious knee kick, aimed right at his opponent's head. In the World of Saints, attacks targeted at the head caused the greatest consequences.

…

Tentacles's jaw slowly dropped… this…

Just before he managed to strike, Wang Zheng grabbed onto Mad Scamper's neck with one hand, stopping him and lifting him up. The black iron mask gave out a cold, fearsome air.

"Tentacles is following me. You're welcome to visit us anytime."

Crack!

A loud scream rang through the battle arena. The Mad Scamper's head was bent at an angle…

Chapter 542: Aslan's Dilemma

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Tentacles left quietly with Wang Zheng. He saw the scene from earlier on very clearly. Wang Zheng seemed pretty average before he made any moves. But the moment he struck, it was just like a huge lightning strike.

The Mad Scamper's attack came close, and as fast as the wind, Charcoal's body pulled away by a little. Right at the instant where the Mad Scamper's attack was the weakest, Charcoal lashed out like a venomous snake, pushing his opponent's knee away with his left hand, and choking his opponent's neck with the right.

Although the neck was a vulnerable body part, it could not be controlled in an attack like that, and this was way too risky. During an attack, every flaw was exposed to the opponent, unless your level of control was completely higher than he was.

The Mad Scamper had definitely used a high level Blade Technique, but when faced with a lower-range Blade Technique, he was entirely stifled.

It was as if he was completely naked.

Tentacles knew that the Charcoal was very powerful, but he did not know to what extent. This was still not the most important part. There were many people who were powerful, but those who could attack with such decisiveness and viciousness were extremely few. He was even suspicious of whether or not Charcoal was a professional assassin.

Looking at Wang Zheng's silhouette, Tentacles smiled. Regardless of his occupation, this was a loyal man worth following.

"Thank you, Brother Charcoal."

Wang Zheng smiled. "You've got potential, but you're overly reliant on your Ability X. From how I see it, the Ability X is just a way to level up your fighting capabilities, or used as a trump move. If you rely on it, you'd be trapped the moment you encounter someone just slightly better than you."

Tentacles nodded, "I understand, I will certainly be more careful in future, and not try to be clever. It's just that the Wind Group…"

"My purpose here is to stir trouble. So no matter what Group or Club it is, they can come at me if they want."

Wang Zheng was very much at ease. The rules in the World of Saints were pretty solid. If the opponents could have used techniques that were even more powerful, it would have been quite a headache. He could manage to stave off one or two, but if there were more, Wang Zheng wouldn't have been able to manage. However, even if met with someone from the Saints' level, given that they can only use the Eight Point Blade Technique, what they were really being tested, were their abilities to grasp things in the realm. For that, Wang Zheng had no fear of anyone. In fact, he looked forward to meeting someone who had a deeper understanding of the realm than he did. Only then, could they help each other grow.

After Tentacles had left, Wang Zheng did not immediately participate in another duel, but instead, continued to train. He wanted to train his Eight Point Blade Technique to the highest level. The Wind Group surely wouldn't let things go just like that, and so it was better to be safe than sorry. According to the rules that were in place, he couldn't keep the matter of him entering the Saints' Trial a secret. Now that he had been exposed, other forces would probably join in. Only when he had reached the highest level of the technique, then could he stand undefeatable.

Wang Zheng's sudden departure indeed caused many to leave empty-handed. Usually, this Charcoal guy would go on for a few more rounds, but this time, he did not return.

Those in the higher levels would not react so quickly. After all, there were two stages from the disciple level to the saints. Even if you got to the Saints, the training would take quite some time. But they had already instructed those in the lower levels to keep an eye on things.

It was Tentacles's performance in the past year or so that had attracted the Wind Group's attention. Once someone with such a high status and backing entered the picture, most others would have to be onlookers, unless they have got absolute strength or powers.

This incident was rather amusing, too. It was the first time that someone from an organisation that ruled all three realms had been taught a lesson. It was a rare occurrence, and also pretty much a joke.

Meanwhile, TitaTitan Star grew and developed steadily. With military support from the people of Tita and the Lan Family's planning strategies, they were able to stand tall among the great powers in the Milky Way, making use of the Ultra Powerful mineral stones. The great nations all opened their highest embassies in TitaTitan Star. While that may be too much for TitaTitan Star, but with the mineral stones, it was not altogether inexcusable.

The motives of the various countries were clear. TitaTitan Star had tight controls over the mining of the Ultra Powerful mineral stones, and even the upper limits of the conservational mining could not produce enough stones to satiate the Milky Way's large stomach. The cake was simply that big. It's up to your own capabilities to get it if you ever want a second bite.

Canyon City and Lankao City was bustling with activities of spies, conspirators, schemers and politicians. It was unquestionable that this was a good opportunity for these people to make a name for themselves.

Whether was it the Lan Family or the newly appointed government of the TitaTitan Star, they all watched over things very, very closely. At TitaTitan Star, people readily got rid of the old to make way for the new, and everything was on the table. But increasing the mining output of the Ultra Powerful mineral stones was a definite, hard no. This was the basis of which TitaTitan Star had developed and grew within such a short span of time.

From all their activities and interactions, the various countries also knew this line of limitation well.

This was a line that could not be crossed. The Earthworm Federation did not believe so, and arrogantly tried to bribe the Lan Family with money. The TitaTitan Star had yet to respond to that when all the other major powers pushed the Federation out of the competition.

When it came to this matter, conspiracies had no place at all. It was too sensitive an issue. Whether it was Aslan or Arbiter Empire, there was no one power that could push all other competitors out. When that was the case, the importance of having rules stood out.

Everything had to go according to the rules. If things were politically unstable, then the economy would become the pillar to prop things up, making use of the market to allocate the eventual flow of the mineral stones.

Everything marched forward in the direction of TitaTitan Star.

Of course, the reason why there was such an effect was partly due to the changes in the Lan Family. If Lan Jiang was the head of the household, it would indeed be very likely that it would turn into a commercial transaction. But as Mu Sen entered the picture, and the Lan Family failed to stand out quickly, the impact was minimised. At the very least, even if you wanted to do something sneaky, there was very little you could do.

Even though the TitaTitan Star had attained first class accreditation, it had absolutely nothing to show when it came to the military aspect of things. The Titans may be strong, but their powers could only be used on the TitaTitan Star. In such a vast galaxy, the TitaTitan Star had only a weak fleet. It could barely even be called a fleet.

Where there were goods, there were shipping paths. And where there were profits that could be made, there were pirates. The Ultra Powerful mineral stones would likely attract pirates in disguise.

As of now, things were smooth-sailing. Nobody should dare to do anything. But this would certainly become a problem in future. The Tita Star was as much a culprit in the black market.

Under such circumstance, the only option left for TitaTitan Star was to look for militarily strategic partners and to form an alliance. It would give the Tita Star some time to grow. And of course, when it came to strategic partners, they would certainly ask for special rights and privileges.

After coming to the decision to use the market for distribution, the various countries came into a new conflict over who ought to be TitaTitan Star's strategic partner.

There was only one place available, and so every country put in their best offers. Of which, the Astina Federation and the Arbiter Empire showed the strongest hands, offering terms at the highest levels.

Aslan was also trying their best to vie for the spot. With Lin Huiyin's promptness in taking action, they had a pretty good chance, too. But as Astina and Arbiter offered more and more, their position took a plunge.

"What! Arbiter is willing to lend a fleet to the TitaTitan Star Defence Corps? For 50 years? And be in charge of all training for fleet commanders and troops? …."

How vicious!

Lending an entire fleet at nothing to the TitaTitan Star for 50 years!

The term may be "lent" but in 50 years, even the most advanced fleet today would become outdated.

The Aslan Ambassador to the TitaTitan Star, Steve, dapped at his perspiring forehead non-stop. Even though Lin Huiyin had plaed a huge role in the TitaTitan Star incident and had built a rather close friendship with the Lan Family, politics was as such. Friendship aside, being able to provide benefits was the sole foundation of all conversations. Compared to the terms offered by Aslan, the Arbiter Empire had spent a fortune. If he were in-charge of the TitaTitan Star, he wouldn't choose Aslan for Lin Huiyin's friendship either.

And because Aslan had already received certain benefits, the backlash from other countries was huge, too. After all, no one wanted to see Aslan grow strong on its own. It was also probably why Arbiter was so so anxious.

Just as the ambassador pondered between contacting Aslan and increasing their support for TitaTitan Star, or to continue making use of Lin Huiyin's relationships to open up more doors of opportunities, another piece of news arrived at his feet.

"Astina has offered a new term to TitaTitan Star, to assist the TitaTitan Star building up a fleet of planetary guards and a fleet of deep space guards. All ships would be built and produced on TitaTitan Star…."

It was not lending. But instead, directly helping TitaTitan Star to build up their own military capabilities. This was way greater than Arbiter's offer. Arbiter had offered to give them spaceships for free, but Astina was basically helping TitaTitan Star build up a manufacturing facility. This was giving away their core strategic technologies, trading technology for bankruptcy.

Steve slumped into his chair. If it were only Arbiter Empire, it would be easier. After all, Arbiter's image in the Milky Way had always come off too strongly. As long as TitaTitan Star had one bit of doubt or worry, he would be able to use politics to maneuver the situation and stir things up.

But with Astina, the situation was altogether different…

After much consideration, Steve finally made a decision. He dialed the direct line connecting to Aslan's President. Now that things had come to this, it was no loner something that he as an Ambassador could deal with. By escalating the situation upwards, even if the mission failed, he wouldn't have to bear full responsibility and ruin his political career.

The call was very quickly answered. President Kashawen appeared on the screens. It was clear that the TitaTitan Star situation was of top priority in the Cabinet.

"How are things going?"

"Things are very complicated. It is very challenging. If we do not increase our stakes in this, I am afraid we will not stand a chance." The Ambassador explained the new terms and stakes offered by Arbiter and Astina.

"The situation here at home does not allow us to invest too heavily in TitaTitan Star using military resources."

Kashawen did not even frown in the slightest and came to the conclusion coolly.

It was not that Aslan Empire had no wish of upping their stakes, but that they were organising a 16 country military summit to put an end to military expansion, so as to work towards prospering as a Milky Way. If they were to increase investments in military resources on TitaTitan Star using assisting TitaTitan Star as the reason, the 16 country summit would not see results. When it came to politics, it was always this way. Gaining something in one aspect would mean settling for another. Slapping oneself was never the way to go in politics.

Chapter 543: Dignity

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Steve was also clear on the current position of the military in Aslan. Compared to Titatitan Star, the initiative rights of the 16 Countries Military Conference was more important.

Arbiter Republic and Astina Federation were also clear on this point. It looked like this mission was doomed to failure.

Looking at Kashawen's cold expressionless face, Steve put on a bitter face. "This is too difficult…"

Kashawen's gaze was cold. "It is precisely because of the difficulty that of all the diplomats, I chose you personally to be the first ambassador to the Titatitan Star. This is an honorable yet difficult mission. For Aslan's glory, you have to use your power. Other than military aspects, we Aslan can accept any other support."

Steve paused. His eyes changed. Was this not bullshit? Titatitan Star now lacked nothing but military power. There were no lack of gifts of other resources, yet he could not offer the help of Aslan's military. This…

He wanted to complain – of course, that was to push away the responsibility. If he described the difficulty level at a much higher level and he succeeded, that was because he was talented. If he failed, then he had a reason to explain. A gentleman never stood near a falling wall. A smart man needed to stand at an undefeatable ground.

But with Kashawen's words, Steve knew that he had nowhere to retreat.

He was an Aslan commoner. He had no background. Every step he made was done with great difficulty.

To be sent to the remote Titatitan Star, to be honest, he was a little unwilling. However, he quickly accepted it. Even though the conditions here were bad, the competition was fierce. But in view of Tita Star's position, it was also the easiest to get some results. On the other hand, it was also the easiest to be defeated badly.

But Kashawen's words just now had instantly changed his views. Chosen personally by the Prime Minister, even if it was to be an officer at the planet of the savage tribe, it would not be ordinary. This also meant that his talents were appreciated.

And now, having Kashawen to tell him personally, that was equal to her telling him that she recognized his ability and whether or not he could really be near and become one of the wings of the Prime Minister. All depended on whether he worked hard enough, and whether he could overcome the difficulty.

This was an opportunity!

Steve immediately perked up and raised his head. "Yes, Prime Minister has taught me well. I will definitely find a way…"

Kashawen was very satisfied with Steve's political sensitivity. At this moment she said: "That's enough, the difficulty you face is indeed great. The 16 Countries conference will be held 10 days later. I will drop by Tita Star and will reach in about 7 days. Your mission is to drag the negotiations on Tita Star for about 7 days of time."

"Yes, I guarantee that the mission will be completed." Steve said firmly.

He was a smart person. Actually this period of time he did an in-depth investigation and already discovered some details that others did not pay attention to. On the surface, Mu Sen was the decision-maker and Lan Ling was the support for Tita Star now. However, in reality, the spiritual leader of Tita citizens was the titan Rara Durai. This group of tita giants were very abnormal; they were extremely enthusiastic towards a small company from Earth.

Details determined success or failure. It seemed like it was because of this person called Ada. Steve decided to use this as his breakthrough point. Perhaps he could have different gains.

It was because he believed that Tita citizens were much easier to handle compared to humans. Compared to profits, they cared more for relations.

Ye Zisu was indeed a little surprised. The ambassador from Aslan actually found OMG. The Aslan Empire and the Solar System did have an amiable relationship now, and the other side did quite an investigation and thought that OMG had a special relationship with the higher-ups of Tita Star. They were now thinking of taking this route.

Since the Lan family had no more chances in the Tita Star, how about the other directions?

There would always be a way.

When Russen reported the situation, Ye Zisu was indeed stunned for quite a while. It seemed like it was just not long ago that the Aslan Empire did not treat Wang Zheng as a person and now they were asking for a favour.

To be honest, Ye Zisu really wanted to give Aslan a tight slap. However, she knew that she could not do that. This way, it could really sever off any last chances Wang Zheng had with Aina.

"Wang Zheng, the general situation is like this. I think that this is a chance, a chance to let you and Aina be together."Ye Zisu said. Based on Wang Zheng's influence on Tita Star, he definitely could do it. Actually, the meaning was the same whether in choosing Aslan or Arbiter, or any other countries. They were all a transaction.

Ye Zisu and Wang Zheng faced each other. They were at the café on campus. Yet what they were discussing was the big thing that was much sought after from the Milky Way Alliance.

This kind of feeling seemed a little off. Ye Zisu thought that Wang Zheng would be very agitated but the weird thing was that Wang Zheng's reaction was very calm.

"Wang Zheng, this really is a chance. A chance to let the Aslan Royal Family see you differently. Your influence on the Tita Star is unrivalled."

Wang Zheng smiled slightly. In his smile was not helplessness but more of an unexpected firmness.

"I do not need to prove anything to the Aslan Royal family. I am I. Aslan's condition do not match Tita Star's benefits at all. Tita Star now needs a strong ally who could provide military support. To ensure the safety of the main travel route and at the same time to warn people who are having other thoughts. On this aspect, either Arbiter or Manalasuo are more suitable."

Wang Zheng said, "You are usually very calm."

"But….."

"Zisu, I know what you are thinking. It is useless to talk about relationships with these politicians. You will only be used by them and they will look down on us behind our backs."

Wang Zheng said, his calmness came from this. Sometimes, it was not good to have such a clear mind. If he really did as Zisu said, the other side would just lead him on and bluff him. In the bones, however, they would still look down on him.

He was Wang Zheng, here, he had not change all along. What could he get by backing down, he would no longer be himself.

This was something Wang Zheng could not do.

Actually Ye Zisu also knew. She was calmer than Wang Zheng. Except that she hoped that Wang Zheng would be happy, even if it was just for a moment. It was just that she did not expect Wang Zheng to be even more determined than her.

If not for experiencing what he had at Titatitan, he might really have agreed. But the lesson that time caused him to be bedridden for more than a month, unable to move at all. Because he could only lie down, the flesh behind his back all rotted. Bonehead went into hibernation because of that. The only one he wanted to thank was Lan Ling. If not for Lan Ling talking to him constantly, he might really have gone to the extremes. At that time, he thought a lot, really a lot.

Ye ZIsu felt that Wang Zheng and Aina seemed to have distanced themselves. This distant was not of space but of the heart.

The two of them did not do anything wrong, they could only say that their identities played them out.

The atmosphere was a little heavy, at this moment, a girl walked over shyly and a little afraid.

"Wang… Teacher Wang, hello, I am Xia You, thank you for saving me."

Xia You was a little unsure of herself, and a little embarrassed. If not for Wang Zheng who interfered at the right moment, she might be done for.

Wang Zheng shook his head. "You are welcome, we are all classmates. Just call me Wang Zheng, I don't have to give lessons now."

Actually, Wang Zheng really was not in the mood now and only wanted to spend some quiet time with Zisu.

"Then, Wang Zheng, can I treat you to dinner tonight? To express my gratitude." Xia You suddenly smiled brightly and sat beside Wang Zheng as she said.

It was only at this moment that Wang Zheng and Ye Zisu realised that Xia You still dressed sexily today. She was wearing a sleeveless spaghetti strapped blouse where it was easy to see everything with one glance. Her beautiful pair of long legs was exhibited by a pair of denim mini skirt.

Thinking of it, at the start Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu both appreciated this style. It beautified their views. It was such an enjoyable thing.

However at this moment, Wang Zheng was a little impatient.

"I still have something on. I accept your gratitude." For Wang Zheng who trained in fighting styles, he could sensitively feel that the girl beside him actually had a very murky aura.

What kind of life the other party led had nothing to do with him. Everyone had the right to choose their own lifestyle. He interfered totally out of his own morality. He could not allow this type of things to happen in front of his own school gates.

Wang Zheng's coldness did not dampen Xia You's enthusiasm at all. "Wang Zheng, don't reject me. I'll be sad."

She looked delicate. Her lips were covered in shiny lip gloss, exuding a faint aroma. She totally treated Ye Zisu, who was beside, like air.

Usually Wang Zheng was very patient but today he really did not have the mood. He stood up directly. "Zisu, let's go. Xia You, you will pick up the bill and we are even. Also, I interfered because I do not want our school's reputation to suffer because of an individual's actions"

After saying, he left without turning back. Ye Zisu smiled slightly. "This classmate, he is not someone you can be near. Don't waste your efforts. The next time you try to hook up with a rich guy, go further away from school."

Wang Zheng might not be aware. Yan Xiaosu only looked at her appearance and would not care too much. However, the gossip between girls passed very quickly. Xia You was considered a famous person in school, but not in a good way.

The previous time, she indeed was hooking up with rich guys. Even if something happened, she could also get some compensation. Just right, she could buy a purse that she already had her eye on for a long time. Who knew that halfway through, Wang Zheng would appear unexpectedly?

But Xia You recognised Wang Zheng. She was adept at inquiry. Wang Zheng might seem just like an ordinary student, what IG team leader, what physics department professor, all those were not important. The important part was he was a major shareholder of the KING company.

A hero saving a beauty. This was her real target, to hook up with him. Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu these two lackeys would also become her lackeys and she would have 2 more ATMs. In her eyes, Wang Zheng was still an innocent little virgin.

"Ye Zisu, what do you have to slander me? He saved me and I like him. Who are you to him? What qualifications do you have to stop me?" Xia You showed her disdain.

Wang Zheng who had walked out turned back and Xia You immediately put on an attractive wronged look.

Wang Zheng gently put his arms around Ye Zisu's shoulders. "Xia You, do you understand now?"

Even though she knew very clearly this was fake, Ye Zisu was still very happy. The 2 of them walked out like a couple.

Xia You was shocked. In her bones, she did not feel that Ye Zisu was any impressive. She did not have any chest, looked boring and would not be as experienced as her. She could make him feel so good that he could die.

"You are fortunate to attract a beauty. With a beauty sending herself to you, and you still rejected her." Ye Zisu teased.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. "Forget it. Her whole body was covered in an aura of rot. Just being near I feel faint."

"Youre quite mean yourself."

"I helped you get out of that difficult situation, no matter what, you have to treat me to a meal."

"There's no more reason left in the world. It was me who was helping you. Also, how can you get a girl to treat you!"

Wang Zheng laughed heartily. "Well, who asked me to leech onto you. You are the only girl who is treating me."

Suddenly, Ye Zisu was really grateful to Xia You. If not for her antics, it seemed like she would not have such a happy day.

Chapter 544: The Trade of Love

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Back in the World of Saints, Wang Zheng arrived at the trial hall. You could say that in this whole world, the true essence of the world lay in the trials used to temper individuals.

There was a wide variety, even more patterns than that inside the Rubik's Cube. It was quite a good help to Wang Zheng and he was especially interested in this type of training.

To be honest, some things could even be incorporated into the training of Special Forces soldiers. In this aspect, the World of Saints was better than the military.

When this black iron masked man appeared, the whole trial hall was excited. Everyone's eyes were filled with fanaticism. In the World of Saints, there was absolutely no shortage of talented powerful players or rather, this was a miraculous world. Without a certain level, there was no way you could enter. Confidence, arrogance, pride, all these were the most common.

Only, there would be stronger people out of the strong. As long as you had stayed a few days in the World of Saints, most people would become low-key and calmer, if not, not long later they would be annihilated.

A single person's strength, especially those with low level strength, against the World of Saints was an existence as fragile as egg shells.

There would always be people who were not convinced and wanted to challenge the rules of this world. This was what made humans different from the rest of the world. However, so far, all the rebels finally compromised.

No one could move beyond the rules!

This was a law made by everyone. This was the scariest!

How long would this cold black iron masked man before them last?

Dodge trial!

The rules were very simple – to dodge all light ball attacks. This was to train reaction and pace. Even the slightly higher level trials were also an in-depth test of pacing training. Pacing was dead. If you wanted to use your pacing flexibly, you had to use other trainings to train.

This type of method, Wang Zheng had really not tried before.

The same time Wang Zheng was participating in the trial, another important meeting was being held far far away. The two parties were very unexpected.

Steve's whole body filled with excitement. Every cell was jumping. He was actually going to succeed!

God, who would have thought that an Earthling could actually have such a terrifying level of influence. You could only say that the savages were really naïve and actually handed over wealth and power to others so easily, and to a guy with no power, just because he had some ability?

This was really a miracle that could only happen in the wild world. Trust? Such a ridiculous word, but it was precisely because of that that such a good thing really happened.

The most powerful people of Tita Star had all arrived. The first governor of Titatitan Republic Mu Sen sat in the middle. To his left was a girl, Lan Ling, the current head of the Lan family. She had steadied the Lan family's position in this round of political change and continued to enjoy high status. To his right was a golden giant. He was different. He was the only golden one. He was the spiritual leader of Tita citizens, Titan Rara Durai.

Rara Durai did not care at all about the affairs of humans but he actually attended this meeting. This was such an honour. Steve was also feeling proud of himself. Such a lineup, even if the Prime Minister came personally, she would be given enough face. Steve knew that as long as he succeeded this time, he would become a hero of Aslan.

The other two were totally new faces. A girl who looked a little younger than Lan Ling, she seemed to be a famous mecha designer. The other was a fatty… looking a little perverted with no elegance – one look and you knew he was a nouveau rich and was a country bumpkin who had not seen big scenes. But these two represented another person and this time's negotiation seemed to be determined by them.

Aslan was most adept at dealing with Earth's rich country bumpkins. As long as they gave them a little benefit, they would bow to the ground with their ass in the air.

Why?

They were the great glorious Aslan Empire.

This was a tripartite negotiation, a deep cooperation between Tita Star and the Aslan Empire. However, this needed the Prime Minister to handle. Hence there was today's Skylink Video Conference. If they had reached a consensus, the Prime Minister would head to Tita Star personally.

Everyone was present and waited for the famous Prime Minister of Aslan, the King's own younger sister, the iron fist Prime Minister Kashawen.

The empty seat, an image flickered. Kashawen's figure appeared. At a side, Lin Huiyin actually came too.

Steve quickly stood up and bowed respectfully. "Prime Minister, your highness, as per the agreement, everyone is present."

The moment Kashawen appeared, her gaze briefly swept across and her aura immediately suppressed the whole situation. As the real power holder of one of the Milky Way Alliance's most powerful empire, the average person could not compare with her royal aura.

There was a faint smile on Kashawen's face. She looked approachable yet maintained a distance. "Mr. Mu Sen, everyone present, I'm very happy to see you. I hope that this is the start of our good cooperation."

She brought Huiyin because she wanted to make use of Lin Huiyin's relationships on Tita Star. Obviously this savage planet attached great importance to this. This would bring huge benefits to Aslan Empire.

Mu Sen let out a kind smile. "Respected Prime Minister Kashawen, thank you for your presence and lovely princess, the Aslan Empire and Tita Star has a good start. I hope that we can reach a consensuses."

"This is also the reason I'm here. Huiyin this child may sometimes be very rash but her qualities are what makes us Asan. "Kashawen said. Actually she was also hinting on how reliable the Aslan Empire was. "Steve, let's introduce our Aslan comprehensive assistance plan to Governor Mu Sen."

"Yes, Prime Minister." Steve said respectfully. The Prime Minister was indeed the Prime Minister, upon entrance and she already firmly grasped the rhythm in her hands. The Aslan Empire to you Tita citizens would be a great grace!

Steve started to introduce the comprehensive plan. This plan not only involved mine development, but also the basic infrastructure of Tita Star. However these basic infrastructures did not require the use of money. It could be exchanged for using super gravitational energy mine.

Mu Sen carried a smile from the start to the end. Rara Durai was expressionless because he did not know why he had to come. He had headaches when faced with these complicated things.

Lan Ling on the other hand had a very solemn face. What plan was this? This was a joke. When did Tita Star need Aslan to do so many things? It looked like assistance but Tita Star did not need such assistance. Any of the projects could attract numerous companies to compete for. No need for money? Considering the current situation?

That was even more so a joke. According to this distribution, 70% of the yearly production of mines would be controlled by Aslan. This had already raised to the level of strategic issues. For this, Tita Star might offend everyone else.

Once they had lost the position to share, Tita Star needed to completely depend on the Aslan Empire.

"As for the military aspect, we Aslan will definitely be entirely responsible for that." Steve said the key point. "With the guarantee of our Aslan troops, no other countries would dare to destroy the shipping route!"

Ye Zisu laughed. Lan Ling also laughed. This was equivalent to turning Tita Star into Aslan's colony. What were they thinking?

The great one country?

As though turning into Aslan's affiliated planet was some great honour.

"Governor Mu Sen, what do you think? Let's build a permanent friendship between Aslan the Tita Republic. I guarantee, in 10 years' time, Tita Star will become a first class planet!"

Steve said confidently.

Lin Huiyin wanted to say something but stopped. Even though she did not know much about politics but she was a princess after all. She had continuous lessons in this aspect. On the surface this looked good but this was a bit forced. Tita Star wanted freedom but this was equal to having both their economy and military reliant on Aslan.

Kashawen's move was accomplishing 2 things with 1 move. She held the two positions, one that controlled the super gravitational energy mines and the other that controlled the two extra seats on the Milky Way Alliance committee.

"Governor Mu Sen, if we can reach a cooperation, Princess Huiyin will be the head of the whole cooperation. She is the symbol of our Aslan Empire. This will also be her first time executing her princess powers on behalf of the country. This also represents our Aslan's seriousness." Kashawen smiled warmly.

Mu Sen smiled too.

"Elder Mu Sen, this is important, I think…" Lan Ling wanted to stop it. This was a big joke. The iron fist Prime Minister was simply a robber. Even if Tita Star developed slowly, they also did not need this kind of plundering assistance.

Mu Sen shook his head and stopped Lan Ling. He looked towards Ye Zisu. "Miss Zisu, what do you think of this proposal?"

To be honest, at the start, Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu was suppressed by Kashawen's strong aura. But not long later, Yan Xiaosu's tyrannical aura revived. He was also a business man. He knew the true asking price. But he thought that it was really rare to have such a shameless person like Kashawen. It was obviously to the benefit of Aslan yet she put it as though it was so good for Tita Star.

Except that he knew clearly that this time's matters were not the point. Hence Yan Xiaosu did not speak. He was afraid that upon opening his mouth he would not be able to hold back his break out.

Ye Zisu smiled. "Prime Minister Kashawen, this agreement, how do I put it. On the details, we might need to scrutinize them, because it is after all a big matter. On the direction, it is not that we cannot agree, but there is a condition."

Kashawen glanced at Ye Zisu, "Governor Mu Sen, does she have the qualifications to speak for Tita Star?"

Elder Mu Sen was still smiling, "Yes, Miss Zisu can represent Tita Star."

No one else present opposed. This made Kashawen a little surprised. A young girl… this Tita Star affairs was really a child's play. But this was good.

"Little girl, what conditions do you have? I'm also very interested to hear them." Kashawen smiled warmly but her words treated Ye Zisu like a small kid.

Ye Zisu also carried a smile on her face. "At the moment we will not comment on the series of clauses that Mr Steve had just said. But we, Tita Star are willing to make concessions. The condition is."

Ye Zisu paused and stared at Kashawen intently. "The Aslan Royal family will not interfere in the personal relationship between Princess Aina and Wang Zheng. This is the prerequisite for cooperation."

Instantly the meeting room was quiet. Steve was shocked, so the rumours were true???

Princess Aina fell in love with an Earthling? That was why she was sent to Atlantis?

Kashawen laughed. "What is Wang Zheng? Can he represent Tita Star?"

Rara Durai who was at a side stood up immediately and glared at Kashawen fiercely.
