Chapter 616: Too Awesome!
But in such a situation, this was even more astounding. The man in front of him was invincible.
Takra knew. At that instant he understood. Actually when he executed this move, he knew this problem would surface. The force was too great, but he believed no one could do it, and didn't know how he could do it. Little did he expect that someone was able to do it.
"Wang Zheng, was this part of your calculation?" Bonu asked after a period of silence.
Wang Zheng laughed, "Instructor, Takra's combination move was rather exquisite. It requires one to have a good grasp of the thrust of the cannon for him to be able to execute it perfectly and Takra probably had worked hard on it."
At this point, Takra who was looking down the whole time had lifted his head. He had put in a lot of effort in researching this move, including jumping off a bridge while being tied to a rope, just so as to grasp the feeling of the cannon thrust. It was just that no one had asked, and no one had knew. One could understand the feeling of being seen through by others out of a sudden.
"But there is a fatal problem with this move. The force was too strong. If met with external forces, it would explode easily. Especially when experiencing a laser attack of a certain energy level. That would most likely be fatal." Wang Zheng said, advising Takra not to execute this move on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, there were definitely many excellent snipers around. Although the speed of the sky rocket cannon was extremely fast, but at least half of them can aim accurately, and he would become a human bomb.
Takra was stunned. He had overlooked this problem. His body was icy cold, this was a fatal mistake. If someone didn't like him and wanted to kill him, they could shoot him in the midst of that move and he had nowhere to run.
Everyone looked at Takra, as only he would know whether this was true or not.
Takra bent down, as a formality of the Astinans, "Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate your advice."
Everyone knew what kind of person Takra was. He was always stirring up trouble, confusing truth with falsehood, and would never once admit his defeat. He had always wanted to be on top of others, but never at the bottom. To think there would be a day where he kept his head down.
Wang Zheng smiled, "It's alright, we're all students over here. You're welcome."
Bonu was at a loss for words. Crap, Wang Zheng was really good at getting to the hearts of the people. It seemed like he was not just about brawn, but he had the brains as well. He did not expect Wang Zheng to resolve this trap that he had set up. It was a failure. He did not managed to get rid of Wang Zheng this round, which meant that it would be even more difficult to do so in the future.
How would Wang Zheng know that Bonu held a grudge against Wang Zheng for causing harm to his son. Between their fellow classmates, all fights could be resolved at the end of the day. They were classmates after all. As for things that were more important to note, Wang Zheng would still point it out. Besides, it was his first time meeting Takra, and it was just learning from each other, what grudges could there possibly be?
Bonu was quick-witted, and began scanning through the pool of students. Once he had spotted a suitable person, he started mapping out his plans in his mind.
"Wang Zheng's performance was certainly an eye-opener, and Takra should thank Wang Zheng for sparing his life." Bonu said, but he was a little provocative in his words. But Takra, who obviously understood Bonu's words, did not seem to be bothered about it.
Seeing that his provocation was unsuccessful, he did not care either, "Since Wang Zheng has such a deep understanding towards the mecha, we'll be looking at how you'll perform in the third round. The Wind God, and it's the brainchild of your dear Earth, I'm sure you won't reject it."
At this point, even students who did not get the situation had also felt something was off. Wang Zheng had already piloted two rounds, even if the next round was using Earth's mech, it was not necessary for him to continue.
Wang Zheng gave an obliging smile, "Since the instructor has said so, then I'll definitely have to do it."
Since when was Wang Zheng a coward?
"This fellow is really a daredevil. It's so obvious that Bonu is out to get him, and yet he still insists on continuing." Ai Xiaolu said after holding it in for some time.
"I vaguely remember someone saying that Wang Zheng was a coward, and didn't dare to take up the challenge." De Fulei laughed.
Ai Xiaolu looked around, "Really? Where?"
"Both of you need not worry, this has no effect on him." Snow Li knew Wang Zheng very well. He had failed to enter the finals the other time because he was up against the prodigy of Atlantis who was also one of the strongest contenders. If not, it would be difficult to say how the finals would have turned out.
From the looks of it, the next round would not use up much of Wang Zheng's energy. Besides, the Wind God was Earth's brainchild, which Wang Zheng was an expert in.
Although everyone had their own thoughts, they did not voice it out because after all, Bonu was an instructor.
Bonu opened his Skylink, "Oliviola, you come and try out the Wind God. This kind of small mech is more suitable for female pilots in bringing out it's full potential."
Oliviola?
Everyone was stunned, they had never heard of this name. It was until they saw Oli, then they came to realization. Wasn't this the pair of eyes from earlier on… Oli was a girl?
Many did not take notice of Oli's gender, after all there were invisible people in the school and they tend to be overlooked easily.
She was… from Huang Class-7, and was the typical girl next door….
Based on Wang Zheng's earlier performance, even if he fared poorly with his Ability X, he was definitely an expert in piloting mecha. To let such a weak little girl go up against him, wasn't this asking for a beating? Was this interesting?
Bonu was chuckling on the inside, he was thrilled that he had discovered Wang Zheng's character. He was fond of showing off. It was something that was inside him, once he got into a mech, nothing could stop him. Unintentionally, the two young fellows from the battle had served as a stark contrast. But if the opponent was a little girl, things would turn out differently. If one performed better, it would mean a harsher impact on the opponent, and everyone would be disgusted. Perhaps even Oli would break down in tears, this effect was even better. It was exactly what Bonu had wanted!
Bonu got excited upon thinking about his great plan, but failed to realize that someone's face had already turned grim near the door.
There was a limit to what one could do as an instructor!
Human feelings could not be neglected. Everyone could be understanding but one should never behave recklessly. There were school rules to be observed, if not, the class would had been disrupted and become chaotic.
Oli got a shock after being called up, frantically looking around, "In… Instructor, you called me?"
"Of course it's you, Oliviola! You're from the combat faculty. It can't be that you're afraid to engage in battle? What if you're on the actual battlefield? Anyways, you can take this opportunity to learn from Wang Zheng. Training may be tough and tiring, but at least you can minimize your casualties during an actual battle. So Wang Zheng, you must also take this seriously!"
At this stage, even Wang Zheng was full of admiration for Instructor Bonu. He had suspected that Bonu was actually a professor of languages because anything that came from his mouth was extremely inspiring.
Going up against Oli, Wang Zheng was at a loss. He was the type that would become stronger if the opponent was strong. It was okay if it was the actual battlefield, but this was a training ground. He just could not bring himself to do so.
Just then, Oli gave a bright smile, and replied readily while leaving the rest in shock, "Yes, Instructor. Thank you Instructor Bonu, I will definitely put on my best performance!"
Wang Zheng couldn't believe it, this young lady, did she know what was actually going on!
Oli took off her spectacles, and her eyes were shining brightly, they were so beautiful and gorgeous.
At this moment, the timid little girl seemed to have changed into a different person.
"Eh, why do I think that the girl in spectacles looks pretty good too."
"That's right, I also have the same illusion. Could it be that my preference has changed?"
"Wang Zheng is doomed. Is he going to beat her badly, or is he going to be defeated?"
"Such a cute little girl, is Wang Zheng really willing to treat her harshly?"
Chapter 617: Was It Necessary To Be So Cruel?
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Zhang Shan was stunned, but he knew that if Wang Zheng did not take this battle seriously, Bonu definitely would not miss this opportunity to teach him a lesson.
On the other hand, Wang Zheng could feel something different from Oli's eyes, they were burning with confidence.
"Very good, let's begin."
Bonu did not mind such changes, he wanted to know what was Wang Zheng up to. Regardless of the results of the battle, he had a way to bring him down and humiliate him greatly.
The two Wind Gods were ready. But suddenly Wang Zheng opened the public channel, "Instructor, can we not use the training mode?"
In an instant, the crowd fell silent. What did Wang Zheng meant by this? Could it be that he wanted to bully Oli?
Was he going to be ruthless?
Without the protection of the training mode, it was easy for accidents to occur.
But Bonu was definitely up for it, as it was Wang Zheng who suggested it himself, "Oliviola, what do you think?"
This was definitely something that required the consensus of the opponent. Oli thought for a while, before nodding her head in approval.
"That's great, but let's do away with the weapons then. We'll try to showcase how to apply one's Ability X to the Wind God." Bonu was not that foolish to make the both of them fight intensely with real weapons. Besides, this was not the right place to do so either.
Upon canceling the training mode, the atmosphere became more serious.
The two Wind Gods were on standby and they began to activate the mecha. A few girls were already unhappy with Wang Zheng, for how could he be so ruthless towards a girl like Oli. Even though he was extremely skilled and powerful, it was useless if he did not know how to show tenderness and pity towards women.
Everyone was feeling a little puzzled over Wang Zheng's request. Zhang Shan was deep in thoughts, and suddenly he had understood everything and shouted, "I know what's going on!"
"What do you know?" Yan Ge asked curiously.
"Wang Zheng wants to have a quick battle. Because it isn't in training mode, there is no way they can engage in a heated battle. And in this regard, it would be safer and less problematic!"
Zhang Shan was indeed intelligent, as he had understood everything in a short period of time. And not long after, Bonu had also realized this serious problem.
Once the training mode was cancelled, then Wang Zheng could justify his actions and end the battle in a gentle but graceful way.
What the f**k …. It was a trap!
The two mech warriors on the ground had completed their preparation and they were ready to engage in battle.
All of them waited with bated breath…
This … was a little imposing. Zhang Shan was full of confidence, since he had put on an act, and the show had to go on.
But what no one saw was the gaze in Wang Zheng's and Little Oli's eyes.
When one reached a certain level, one was equipped with a kind of sensing ability …. The ability to sense people similar to them as well as the potential dangers ahead.
Rumble…
Little Oli launched her attack, the Wind God suddenly erupted forward. It was earth-shattering, just like a cannon being launched without any fancy moves, but charging directly towards Wang Zheng.
Dang…
Wang Zheng tried to ward off Oli's blow. But before he could do so, Oli's Wind God took the opportunity to launch another attack on his arms, followed by a horizontal kick.
Rumble…
Wang Zheng's Wind God suddenly retreated over ten metres. If not for the right arm that served as a shield, this move would have caused Wang Zheng to flip over.
Oli did not pursue and attack Wang Zheng. Her mech did a mini swirl on one leg, and the right left swept across the air. The centre of gravity of the mech was shocking. The hands were pulled apart, the right hand cut straight across in the air, and the mech was slightly hunched.
The students who attended this lesson had felt that the ups and downs in life were too exciting. Was this really the bespectacled girl who always looked lost?
The one in the greatest shock was Majgull. His jaw nearly dislocated as he gaped. What the f**k was going on?
Oli was actually an expert?
To be able to control the mech with such a level of finesse, her physical combat abilities were definitely astonishing. At least if she was beaten, it would not be a big issue.
Suddenly, Majgull was dripping sweat. Crap. He then told herself, to keep a low profile in the future and to be wary of her every action.
Everyone was whispering to one another. Based on the clash they had witnessed earlier, Oliviola was definitely an expert. Could she belong to the type where she was not able to control her Ability X?
Bonu's feelings were like a wild rollercoaster ride, reaching cloud nine after what had happened earlier. F**k, what was this called? The saying went, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. No one had expected that someone who looked ordinary like Oli, would turn out to be so fierce.
Beat him up, the best was to get rid of him completely!
Wang Zheng's Wind God moved a little. Looking at her smooth skills, it was evident that she had practised and spent a huge amount of effort on perfecting these moves. And needless to say, she would have undergone strict training as well. In short, she was not a nobody.
"Oli, do you have a name for this move?"
"Arbiter's Heavenly Overlord Attack. Wang Zheng, you can change the name of it, only if you defeat me!" Oli was different than usual, even her voice was full of confidence.
Wang Zheng laughed, "You said it, I'm definitely going to change the name of that move!"
The two Wind Gods accelerated at the same time, charging towards the middle in an instant. Almost simultaneously, the magnetic source was activated. Both were moving towards the right, and to the left at the very next moment. The mech was subject to significant torque against the laws of gravity, At this moment, the pressure that the pilots had to withstand was already beyond normal standards. But the problem was, they were just warming up.
The two mecha passed each other, and yet neither of them attacked. But at the moment where they turned around, Wang Zheng performed a flip, he had to be quick. And Oli on the other hand did a clockwise rotation. It seemed slow, but before Wang Zheng could carry out his attacks, she had already thrown a big punch.
She was domineering indeed!
Rumble…
The two mech staggered. Wang Zheng's Wind God immediately jumped upwards with Oli's Wind God tailing right behind it. Maneuvering in the air was rather slow.
Wang Zheng had obviously felt her pursuit, and quickly launched his magnetic source. He needed to change his trajectory, but right at that moment, Oli launched hers as well. The magnetic source had directly hit Wang Zheng's magnetic source. At the same time, her Wind God had arrived in position behind Wang Zheng, actively controlling the mech and soaring into the air. Immediately she launched an attack and Wang Zheng attempted to block it with both arms.
A strong strike was coming, and although Wang Zheng was strongly maneuvering in mid-air, he was limited in his actions and had also lost his centre of gravity. And Oli's Wind God, once again lashed out with a kick.
Rumble…
Wang Zheng's Wind God had been thrown ten metres away.
Oli's Wind God gradually landed on the ground, opening its arms with its right arm at the front, keeping a stable defensive stance.
Zhang Shan could not believe it and started rubbing his eyes,… could it be that he had seen wrongly earlier on? Had Wang Zheng and Oli got on the wrong mech?
Just what exactly was this?
Was this a monster?
Was this that Oli that he had known? The bespectacled girl who was always being trampled upon?
Majgull wasn't just sweating, his intestines were turning blue. He was starting to feel a little regretful over his earlier judgments. What the f**k, to think that this was a small lamb, but in fact it was a ferocious dragon in disguise, … It was lucky that he had only said nasty things earlier on, but did not do anything bad to her.
As for the others from Huang Class-7, they understood the fact that nothing in this world was constant. Earlier on, Wang Zheng's performance had already left them in shock, and who would have known Oliviola would be even more shocking.
Wang Zheng's Wind God got back up quickly, and he kept a smile throughout. He was a little masochistic, but the main idea was to let Little Oli familiarise herself with the atmosphere first. Well, it looked like he had thought too much, Oli was a crazy one and had already entered her combat state of mind.
Well, that was great. It was an opportunity for him to witness first-hand the powers of the Heavenly Overlord Attack. The name was great. Perhaps it was time for Bonehead to start a sect by himself, called the Supreme Bonehead Slimming Sect…
Seeing that Wang Zheng had gotten back on his feet, Oli started her attacks once again. With a stable rhythm, the Wind God was able to maintain a certain level of acuity while on the move. There were no major loopholes, the angle, the speed was quite good. The moves were simple and straightforward, and it was well designed. At the same time, there were no taboo aspects, she was a mature combatant. Her moves were practical.
Oli's attack did not require much fancy, the Heavenly Overlord Attack placed its emphasis on its momentum, the momentum was key. This was the pride of Arbiter Republic, only the sky was the limit.
With one punch, she swung into full momentum and went all out for it. She was unstoppable.
Ho!
In the eyes of others, Oli's Wind God had looked like a monster whom was sucking up its surrounding air. It was just one punch, and it seemed like there was no way to avoid it.
Besides, this was the Wind God, one of the models with dexterity. If she had chosen one that was the warrior type, or a heavy mech, the impact of the punch could have possibly split heaven and earth apart.
The masses had already felt that they were at the wrong place. It was as though they had entered another dimension. Yes, it was highly likely that this was all a dream.
But Wang Zheng was not dreaming and he felt that the punch was quite good. And to be able to reach this point, in the words of Bonehead, she had passed the basics.
And Wang Zheng was deep in thought about another matter.
Atomic Burst!
One's aura was a cohesive force that was formless and immaterial. But yet the true core of one's aura could be more easily discovered as compared to physical ones. In this regard, the difficulty of discovering a physical object's true core was multiple times more than a invisible one.
Right at this moment, Wang Zheng's Wind God, one… f**k, pointed one finger out.
Everyone was about to rage, did he think the finger of the Wind God was meant to be an electric drill?
However, Oli's attacks did not stop. The Heavenly Overlord Attack was one that could not retreat. Although it was not brainlessly brave, but it remained brave till its last moments, and this punch…..
Suddenly Oli's expression froze, bang…
The aura surrounding her blow had burst apart, it was like she had dropped out from another dimension. It was a moment where everyone was stunned. And Wang Zheng's Wind God, launched a flying kick attack after he had composed himself.
Rumble….
Oli's reaction wasn't considerably fast. At that moment, she had tried to withstand the blow, and the mech flew away.
Within the crowd on the ground, half of them could understand while the other did not understand what was going on. Those who did not had thought that it was Oli who restrained her powers at the last minute. On the other hand, those who understood had realized that once Wang Zheng's finger pointed out, it had completely destroyed the strong aura that surrounded Oli.
But, what power was this supposed to be?
Snow Li seemed like she had understood. She felt that she had seen this somewhere, it wasn't Wang Zheng, but Oli. It was very similar…
Oli did not panic even as she flew out. As the Wind God did a backflip, its engines roared once again. The mech drew a long deep mark on the ground before it finally regained control and stood steadily.
But what she was shocked about was the fact that her powerful attacks could be warded off, merely using a finger?
What tactic was this supposed to be?
She did not know either, but it felt like it was extremely powerful!
"Wang Zheng, I'm not going to hold back from now on." Oli said. And the Wind God suddenly shook, and gave a starting hand sign with a loud thud.
It was the explosion of an Ability X!
Everyone's eyes turned cold. They all knew, if the basic operations were really that solid, what would it be like once it was applied to one's Ability X.
Was there really no issues with Oli's Ability X?
Of course, it was perfectly fine. It was just that she did not take off her glasses when she took the test. She was so close to getting eliminated, needless to say getting into the Huang Class-7.
To Oli, a moment's error brought a lifelong regret. It was difficult for her to look back at what she had done previously.
When Oli had unleashed her Ability X, there was a buzzing sound coming from the entire Wind God. It sounded just like a buzzer going off.
Chapter 618: Oli's Real Identity
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Dang, Oliviola's Wind God launched its attack. But from the viewpoint of the crowd, something was not right. Apparently, there were trembling shadows seen on the mech.
They had already exchanged blows on the battlefield. The two Wind Gods were rumbling together, and Wang Zheng immediately felt an attack that was extremely torturing on his head. Was it a multi-frequency attack?
Oli's hand knife slit right down and the left arm of Wang Zheng's Wind God was broken.
Rumble…
The mech retreated at fast speeds, but Oli had managed to catch up right behind. And Wang Zheng's Wind God had already lost its left arm thanks to Oli's moves earlier…
Both of them had no intentions of activating their energy shields. It seemed that they were extremely confident with their piloting abilities, but even Wang Zheng had never expected Oli's abilities to be this terrifying.
It was akin to the ability to exercise at a fast pace and high frequencies. It had to do with speed, but the frequency was even more important. Once the desired frequency was attained, it would not be much of a difference if the opponent had used a knife or an electric saw.
A flying kick was on its way, accompanied with the buzzing sound like always. This time, Wang Zheng did not dare to block it directly. For if he had failed, it would be like an attack coming from an electric drill…
Everyone was excited, this was a little too terrifying. How could such a capable fellow end up in the Huang Class-7?
It was obvious that Oli wasn't familiar with the Wind God. This was because she did not use much of the magnetic source, at the most she probably had practiced it before. What she was good at was her mech battle techniques, and her Ability X was even more astonishing. Regardless of the equivalent or type, with this standard, she was undoubtedly qualified for the Huang Class-1…
Bonu was getting excited. This must be fate, he thought. It would be best if Oliviola could kill Wang Zheng with a single attack, then it would be a complete success.
Wang Zheng's Wind God was forced into retreating after getting attacked. Oli's attack did not have much room for unnecessary movements, and her way of attacking could not be reckless. Unless if the energy shield was activated, he could create some space but Wang Zheng would definitely not do that, and there was no need for that either.
Oli was doing great in using the Ability X in detail, or perhaps she was just suited to her ability. WIth every attack, and the additional advantage of the high frequency, her attacking powers had reached a level whereby she was able to break one's defense. This was indeed a problem for many of her opponents.
It had been a long time since he had met such a difficult opponent.
He had already retreated in a circle, and the onlooking crowd had unanimously decided to support Oli instead.
Why was that so?
No one knew, not even Zhang Shan. To put it simply, it was the fact that the little girl Oli was fierce, and he had rarely seen someone who could attack Wang Zheng like that.
Suddenly, Oliviola's Wind God stopped moving. It was because she could not catch up to Wang Zheng, and it was physically draining for her to maintain such a state, where she was clearly at a disadvantage. Wang Zheng's Wind God had also stopped. This young fellow was indeed calm and composed, and not influenced by one's emotions.
"I can't catch up with you, but you can't beat me either." Oli said, with an unchanging tone. It was obvious that she was extremely confident, and Wang Zheng was probably just on par with her.
Wang Zheng laughed, this young girl was really arrogant. It seemed like he had no choice but to play it rough this time.
"I've said it before, I will definitely change the name for you. From now on, I'm not going to hide, you can attack with all your might."
The two Wind God were up against each other once again. Oli's Wind God swung its arms and gave a starting pose. The mech's right foot leaned slightly forward, its right arm moved forward, and its left arm was pulled to the back. It was a move that had integrated both attack and defence.
Wang Zheng's Wind God moved a little, and formed the same posture.
Oli's gaze turned serious. The Heavenly Overlord Attack was not a fancy technique that was merely for show, it was the result of countless trial and long hours of practice to perfect the technique.
Rumble…. Rumble…..
The two mech charged. Two silver lights emerged on Oli's mech's arms. There was one thing that Oli did not doubt, which was Wang Zheng's words. If he said he would not avoid the attacks, he definitely would not avoid them.
Heavenly Overlord Attack —— Flashing Silver Swing!
The body of the Wind God was stationary, but the left punch that came out of nowhere was glowing and accompanied with piercing buzzing sounds. This punch could possibly break an energy shield, and it had already reached the energy level to do so.
Oliviola's killer move.
And Wang Zheng's Wind God did not avoid it either. Instead, his Wind God fought back with yet another punch.
Was he courting his own death?
Although everyone did not know the exact impact of the attack, they could see the unique characteristics of Oliviola's abilities, she was simply a combat monster. She could resolve all her encounters easily, and that made her an opponent that was difficult to defeat.
Wang Zheng's Wind God, launched its attack with its remaining right arm…
Buzz~~~~boo~~~~
Boom————
The left arm of Oli's Wind God was hit directly… and it broke. It seemed like there was a force that shot through the arm.
Following the footsteps of Wang Zheng's Wind God, it stepped right in to the gap created—— A Leaning Landslide was exectued!
Rumble….
With a strong incoming force, Oli had felt a little dizzy. But her eyes were still cold and deserted. The alarm was ringing loudly inside the mech, and the body had lost control and started to fly up. And Oli still wanted to stabilise the situation by actively controlling the mech
But the mech had already lost control and fell, and only an enormous shadow could be seen charging in its direction.
Boom….
The enormous fist stopped right before the mech.
The training ground fell silent once again. F**k, what was with all the ups and downs of the battle. Did it really have to be that exciting?
And Oli obviously had the upper hand. But in the blink of an eye, it collapsed…
How did Wang Zheng do that?
Wang Zheng had his moves all thought out. How could he go all out when his opponent was a young little girl? He had only used 30% of his force for the Leaning Landslide. But it was also because the young girl was difficult to deal with, if not it was really a tough one to settle.
The cockpit opened, and Oli walked out. Her face was a little flush and her vital energy was a little weak, but it was still okay as after all, she was someone who had always practiced hard.
But she could not fathom, that one punch that destroyed her Heavenly Overlord Attack was a trump card. It seemed like… But how was someone able to cultivate this?
Bonu looked at Wang Zheng in a daze, his mind was blank, how could this be, why did it turn out this way…
"Wang Zheng, I've said it before, you need to apply your Ability X to the actual battle. This is not about the results, but the process!"
After a while, Bonu had finally found the reason to talk him down.
Wang Zheng just smiled. The students on the ground were not bothered about Bonu's words, and were whispering amongst themselves.
Only Snow Li knew, it was not that Wang Zheng was poor with his Ability X. On the contrary, his Ability X was superior, and it was just that there was no one worthy for him to show his true powers.
Snow Li was very satisfied with this little secret that she knew.
And the others were astonished. One who did not use his Ability X was capable of controlling his mech to such a level just by using its body? It was simply a monster, or could it be that his Ability X was something related to having muscular powers?
But no one felt the fluctuations of Wang Zheng's Ability X.
At this moment, applauses could be heard from the outside of the training ground. It was Jiang Feng…. And also Butcher.
"Bonu, what you're saying is incorrect. For a warrior, the results matter the most. No matter how beautiful the process is, once you're dead, you lose everything. All your efforts will be wasted. Wang Zheng, you did extremely well." Butcher said, disregarding Bonu completely.
Jiang Feng's expression did not look that good, "Instructor Bonu, I disagree with your teaching style. How about suspending your teaching duties for now, and the specific outcome will be made known after having a discussion with the school."
If not for the school's reputation, Jiang Feng would have kicked this fellow out long time ago. There was a limit to making things difficult for the students. Repeating such tactics over and over again was just too much, he was just asking for it.
Bonu's expression turned dull, Jiang Feng was more senior in rank compared to him, and there was also Butcher. He was caught red-handed. Although he could have defended himself, but they were not fools. They would not simply listen to whatever he had to say, and the part about contacting the respective departments, he was afraid that…
Bonu gave up on his defense, and walked out with his head lowered.
Jiang Feng was increasingly interested in Wang Zheng. Initially he was a little skeptical about Wang Zheng entering the Power Rankings, but now he was completely convinced.
Just like Olivios, who could have known that he was that powerful.
One should never think that Olivios was just of Huang grade. He had defeated a senior from the Xuan grade when he just enrolled into the Academy. Actually, he was just like Wang Zheng. For average opponents, it was not worth the effort to go all out, it wasn't necessary to use all his techniques to defeat a small fry.
For both of them to be able to enter the Power Rankings, they had their own merits.
To think this batch had such talented students, and it was not just one but there were two of them. This certainly made Jiang Feng, who was in the actual Power Ranking, a little ecstatic.
Amongst the students, Jiang Feng had a much higher prestige, "Everyone please remember, on the battlefield, regardless of which methods you use, whether you bite, or gnaw, as long as you are able to defeat your enemies, it is a good one."
Jiang Feng had given the closing statement. Wang Zheng pouted, Jiang Feng really knew how to steal the spotlight, didn't he.
Butcher just smiled and did not say a word. He and Jiang Feng was just passing by, and they stopped upon seeing Wang Zheng. They did not expect to witness such a fierce and interesting battle, and this had further solidified Wang Zheng's weight in Butcher's heart. But the greatest taboo of Genesis Coffee was to enter via discretionary admission. Wang Zheng was just way too young, and people could not believe it. But he had proven that, Gail and Mu Fengchun's foresight was accurate.
One might be a master in his own field, but for someone like Wang Zheng he was already considered a prodigy. For people like him, he could not be taught and nurtured through the conventional ways. By doing so, it would be akin to ruining the prodigy's future.
The reason why humans were powerful was because there were unlimited possibilities. There is nothing that cannot be done, but only something that one cannot think of!
Wang Zheng became famous either way, but of course it did not matter to him. Compared to Olivios who had beaten someone of the Xuan Grade, he was definitely the representative of one who keeps a low profile.
Zhang Shan was jovial, Yan Ge naturally wanted to join in the crowd, and Mo Ling was just following Yan Ge. Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu did not give themselves any excuses, they were there just to play, and they were definitely more close to Wang Zheng compared to Mo Ling.
Little Oli put on her spectacles once again, returning back to her dazed self. She was a completely different person from earlier on.
Wang Zheng was curious too, and so he asked, "Oli, how did you end up in Huang Class-7?"
Oli was embarrassed, "My test results were terrible….."
"You took the test with your spectacles on?"
Oli nodded her head, and everyone was at a loss for words. She continued, "At that time, I didn't know that it had to do with the allocation of classes. And I feel that learning should begin right from the bottom."
Even Wang Zheng was speechless, what on earth did she just say.
"Oli, you're from Arbiter, how did you end up in the Azure Dragon Region. You're so powerful! Speak the truth, who are you actually!" Ai Xiaolu was the typical gossiper who was seeking for exclusive scoops. But everyone had raised doubts in their minds too. Based on Arbiter's situation, Oliviola was definitely not a typical person, and she had a sect, there was definitely a problem.
"Actually, I'm…. Olivios' cousin….."
Everyone froze. Olivios, Oliviola…. What the f**k, why did they not notice the similarities?
But Oli was usually so timid, it was almost impossible to associate her with the invincible Olivios.
Looking at how everyone had misunderstood them, Oli quickly stopped them with her hand gestures, "We're not blood-related. We belong to a big family, and belong to different sects. I'm his… fiancee."
Chapter 619: Primordial Regression Style

Oli blushed.
Everyone's stone faces melted. It was a complete meltdown.
Fiancee? Olivios???
Wang Zheng was totally shocked. This news really came in as waves, strong waves. He could not handle this revelation.
Olivios… Little Oli… The beast and the lolita?
Even for gossipy people, they were shocked by this situation too. This was such an intense and fierce situation.
In a while, everyone understood the situation. These 2 persons' engagement was settled by their family. The 2 involved parties only knew that there was such a thing but they have yet to communicate at all. In the past, Olivios was always in the army. Now that he finally settle down, Oli wanted to take a look at him secretly. The families of course, were supportive. After all, it was difficult to have a blind engagement these days. Hence it resulted in this situation. The blur little Oli wanted to get to know him from afar, yet in the end the distance was so far that she could not even walk over. Also, she was a little embarrassed to enter the Huang Class-7.
After figuring out the situation, everyone burst out laughing. They laughed until Oli's lowered head was almost touching the ground.
But the girls very quickly surrounded Oli and gave her encouragement. They did not expect for this thing to be connected to Olivios. That was a famous person of the whole school. His entrance possessed the dominance of a King. It was rumored that even seniors listened to him. He was unique.
"Ahem, this is her private matter. Everyone just keep it to yourself." Wang Zheng said.
But based on Olivios's character, he would most likely not care about this.
Little Oli on the other hand looked at Wang Zheng curiously. "What style are you using, it's powerful!"
Wang Zheng laughed. He could not say that it was the Bonehead Slimming Style. "Primordial Regression!"
"Primordial Regression…" Little Oli muttered obsessively.
Wang Zheng had already used the strength from the Primordial Regression in that one blow. There was a qualitative difference in the energy that they could harness.
High frequency vibrating fist, the impact was strong but it was still a technique that was superficial. His attack, on the other hand was one that embodied true inner strength.
Zhang Shan smirked and laid his arm on Wang Zheng's shoulder. He said quietly: "Wang Zheng, you are too evil – actually thinking of seducing Olivios's fiancée. Strong, I like it!"
"Seduce your head. Nothing good comes out of your mouth!" Wang Zheng was speechless. This guy really knew how to talk rubbish. Yet in his dreams he would not have thought of that.
As for her status, Oli did not have much feelings about it. She also did not feel that it was anything. However, this group of girls with Snow Li was very excited. They all asked Oli about Olivios. This guy was now a legend. Wang Zheng was legendary enough but Olivios was even more so. Not to mention that he had Arbiter as his backing.
Upon mention of Olivios, little Oli's face showed an unexplainable worship. In Oli's heart, Olivios was an unbeatable god. Even though there was such a thing in the family, but little Oli still had a little inferiority in her heart. She did not know if she could match up to Olivios.
Actually, with a closer look, Oli was a very cute girl. It was just that she did not usually pay much attention to her dressing and dressed like a tomboy. Of course, this was also because Oli was a little young and her body had yet to develop…. It seemed like Arbiteans were almost the same, no matter male or female, even Olivios was the same, except, upon meeting him everyone had no excess energy to care about other things.
Zhang Shan on the other hand was not bothered. So what if she was Olivios's fiancée. If Wang Zheng liked, he could have her. He was not afraid of Olivios looking for trouble, only afraid that he did not have the courage to do so.
Of course… it would not be him to fight for someone else's girl anyway.
Zhang Shan was still unwilling to provoke a monster like Olivios. Except that he was very curious, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Wang Zheng and Olivios had already met yet there had been no movements.
"Why are you looking at me like that with such a lascivious expression?" Wang Zheng laughed.
"Hey, are there people who are so righteously lascivious like us? I mean, didn't you agree with Olivios to have a life and death battle? When that time comes, remember to tell me. If you die, I can carry you back." Zhang Shan sniggered.
Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You seem quite anxious?"
"Of course, if it were me, I would have KO-ed him on the first day of school. That will be so cool. You guys can really hold back." Zhang Shan could not understand.
Wang Zheng smiled knowingly. Actually Wang Zheng and Olivios were the same. Their battle would definitely be alarming, and even very fierce to the point where it was either win or die. The most important part was not the result but the process. Actually from the point they met, their competition had already started. The preparation process was also a competition. The presence of each other was also a form of motivation. A good opponent was like a very rare and exotic ingredient. You had to invite a great chef, prepare an appropriate environment and even have a good atmosphere and possess perfect timing to complete the dish.
In fact, the preparation process was the most amazing part.
And at Zhang Shan's stage, obviously to defeat Olivios would be best. Most people were like this, except Wang Zheng was not, and actually Lear and the others were not like that as well.
The battle with Oliviola reminded Wang Zheng that Olivios would only be stronger. But in reality, he did not show-off too much at all in past battles because his opponents could not catch up at all.
If he did not pay attention, he might really lose to Olivios due to carelessness.
Wang Zheng laughed in his heart. Today's harvest was actually quite bountiful. Atomic Burst was very useful. To put it more precisely, it required a very deep and profound understanding of the enemy and it needed to be matched with a relatively high level of skill to be executed. This was a good challenge.
Having a good opponent was indeed crucial. If Oli was not serious, she would not have brought out so much in him.
But Wang Zheng did not intend to understand Olivios's battle style through Oli. It was like Wang Zheng said, winning or losing was not the key but rather, what he wanted to gain through this battle.
Even though he had a slight boost in reputation, but Wang Zheng did not strut around proudly and everyone stopped looking for him.
Wang Zheng continued trying to fuse his ability X in the World of Saints. Actually Bonu was right. There were still some problems in his usage of ability X. It was not that he could not do it, but it was all too basic. There were no outstanding points. The Fusion ability might be the one he was best at. At least he should train to stabilize this advantage.
Windflame Wheel progressed the fastest, but mixing water and fire was not that simple. Wang Zheng actually never succeeded again. Previously with Snow Li, his spiritual energy had indeed reached an optimal state. That was a coincidental success and Wang Zheng was not in a hurry. He needed to hone his ability X. If it were another person, he would be very urgent, but to Wang Zheng, the scariest part in life was not having weaknesses but not having any goals.
Timing, environment, state of mind, the right place and person, all these were indispensable.
The training for Atomic Burst was similar to the Leaning landslide. However, the difficulty level was much higher. Except that he now had a little understanding and what followed was more training. Training and training, the difficult part was training.
Wang Zheng and Snow Li did not have much contact. In the academy, they were after all not in the same class. However, in the World of Saints, after they had experienced that battle, they had become more casual.
Wang Zheng thought that he might have thought too much because when he entered the World today, Snow Li was not online.
After training for a while, he could not get the main point and could only stop. He stretched and rubbed his forehead. It was only for awhile and he actually felt a little spiritual fatigue. It was not that his body lacked energy but the ability X used too much spiritual energy.
At this moment, his contacts flashed. Tentacles's message popped out: "Brother Charcoal, are you busy? There's a trial that has about the same difficulty as the Ice Cloud Trial previously. Not sure if you are interested?"
Wang Zheng smiled, his fingers tapped lightly and answered: "Interested. Where?"
"The Volcano Trial, at Pamu Volcano."
"Okay, then I'll see you at Pamu Volcano."
"Okay."
Pamu Volcano at the Acolyte level was part of the high-end trial area. It was not considered unpopular, but the people who came here were few and inbetween.
Wang Zheng just arrived and he saw Tentacles waiting for him on the mountain road.
Tentacles was very enthusiastic and greeted him. "Brother Charcoal, this trial is not easy. It is mainly a multi-player fight, not a single player or team trial."
It was very difficult, under the usual circumstances for one person to take part in such a multi-player fight style trial. Because what one faced in the trial would not only be the challenges set by the World of Saints but also the attacks from competing players.
As with virtual system battles, there would always be loopholes. A trial challenge would always give some leeway for players to pass. It was rumored that there were trials that could not be passed at the Saint level but at the Acolyte level, there would be no such trials. It was just that the method to pass had yet to be found.
Hence, in some key trials, there would be very heavy punishment mechanisms to discourage people from using trial and error to get by the trial.
Compared to hard work, the Acolyte level paid more attention to the basis of a person's potential talent. Only the truly strong could reach the Saint level….
Wang Zheng smiled. "It's alright. Tentacles, anything else?"
"You are no doubt Brother Charcoal, you are so observant. That, I do have something."
Looking at Wang Zheng's smiling eyes, Tentacles was actually a little awkward in his heart. This time, asking Wang Zheng to come over, was different from the previous Ice Cloud Trial. This was an arrangement by the Shadow Group and there would definitely be a trap in there.
"What is it? Have you met with something difficult?" Wang Zheng smiled faintly.
Tentacles rubbed the back of his head. "That… Brother Charcoal, I have followed you for a long time. Can you bring me through 2 trials?"
Wang Zheng smiled, "Just these?"
"Just these."
"Small matter, after we complete this trial, we can go together. Which trial do you need help with?"
"The Black Gold Trial and Sonic Trial. I have been stuck for a week. You cannot try again within 24 hours after each failure. The prize is what I need most now." Tentacles said, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He just said it casually, something to fill the silence, to cover up his guilt. He did not expect Wang Zheng to agree so readily. But the Shadow Group already had the intent to kill today. Black Charcoal was sure to fail this Volcano Trial.
Sigh, he was making his own life difficult again.
"Brother Charcoal, for the Volcano Trial this time, there may be people targeting you. You have to be careful. My point is you are just one person and in this type of multiple player trial, there will be many teams who targets individual trial players to reduce competition…" Tentacles was feeling very unsettled in his heart. Things like conscience were like weeds. As long as they were not rid of from the roots, they really could sprout again.
Wang Zheng smiled. He looked at the time and said, "I know, I'm not afraid of trouble."
Tentacles wanted to slap himself. Shit, did his brain have a cramp? What was the point of him saying so much? A good horse never returned to eat the grass behind him. Currently, he only had one path which he would follow to the end. He cleared his throat and said: "It's almost time."
"Let's go."
Chapter 620: Targeted
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
The timing for the opening of the Volcano Trial was fixed. It would only open once every 36 hours. Usually, this kind of multi-player trial would not be open at any time but would follow a certain time limit.
Many people had already gathered at the bottom of the volcano. This was the starting point of the trial. It looked like all of them were here for the volcano trial.
They faced various monsters in the previous Ice Cloud trial. One-third of the difficulty this time would come from the competitors.
Tentacles'eyes flashed. He saw a few people from the Shadow Group. He also did not know what method they would be using to handle Black Charcoal.
But what was surprising was that Tentacles still saw quite a number of famous powerful players from the Acolyte level. Also, there were a few people whose auras were concealed and their origins could not be guessed. It was most likely that 80-90% of them were powerful players from the Saint level!
Upon inquiry, Tentacles was stunned. The rewards for this time's volcano trial was actually a trial opportunity stone for the 32 Point Blade Technique!
Trial opportunity stone? After hearing, Wang Zheng was also stunned. He did not really care for the powerful players. He came here to challenge himself. It was like giving a breather to his brain which was occupied by the Atomic Burst. But, the trial opportunity stone for 32 Point Blade Technique?
Wang Zheng was determined to acquire it.
As for the other people in the World of Saints, the Blade Technique was just a basic fighting style. The other special cultivation techniques were better than the Blade Technique. But to Wang Zheng, the importance of Blade Technique to him far surpassed the others. The Blade Technique and the Primordial Regression Technique had an accidental commonality, or rather… a connection.
At the moment he still was not very clear, but if he could get the complete Blade Technique, perhaps he could figure out what was going on.
Weng…
At this moment, deep within the volcano, the land shook and sounds of lava surging could be heard. The volcano was like a fierce beast which came alive, emitting the threat of death.
Volcano Trial, Officially Open.
Volcano Trial: to reach the target location, collect specimens of volcanic plants and retreat safely.
Trial rewards: First place would get 100 hours of time and 1 trial opportunity stone for the32 Point Blade Technique…
The rewards were very generous. Basically, as long as a player could complete the trial, they would earn many rewards. But only the player in the first place could get the trial opportunity stone for the 32 Point Blade Technique.
At the starting point, instantly, over hundred people rushed out. Wang Zheng's eyes flashed. Within the crowds, there were many special lights that could only be emitted by special cultivation techniques.
Obviously, while the Blade Technique had average power, this was after all a 32 Point Blade Technique. It had an extraordinary attraction to powerful players.
Wang Zheng rushed out calmly at his own pace. From the intelligence card, the key in the Volcano Trial was not in speed but how to handle all sorts of unexpected situations. He maintained a constant speed and preserved enough energy to handle unexpected situations.
The sudden situations in the Volcano Trial were different each time it opened. Some would involve Flaming Zerg nests which were exposed when earthquakes in the volcano split the ground, otherwise there would be some terrain obstacles. There was a huge variety of strange unique situations. The intelligence card even specially recorded a special mission to rescue hostages.
All in all, there were numerous difficulties that would appear and one would have to solve these difficulties. At the same time, you had to restrain your competitors to prevent them from going one step ahead.
Wang Zheng just started and realized that he was surrounded by 4 people.
Almost at the same time, pa, a loud crack and a black whip suddenly shot out, landing towards Wang Zheng's neck.
At the same rhythm, the other three launched an attack together.
Wang Zheng smiled and lighted shifted. A high frequency step – missing by a small distance but it was as good as resulting in a moving a thousand miles. Instantly, all attacks missed.
At this moment, Tentacles also rushed in. His movements were even quicker, a gush of violent wind rolled pass and cut in quickly. He stood back-to-back with Wang Zheng and glared at the four people.
The four people exchanged a look and quickly retreated. They missed one shot and immediately retreated far away. Only lone players were their true target.
Under the temptation of the 32 Point Blade Technique, there was no shortage of groups of powerful players joining the Volcano Trial this time. This fighting style was not worth being the main focus of training, but it could be a supportive cultivation technique. Furthermore, it could guide on in bridging the difference between 16 Point and 32 Point Techniques. Hence it was relatively high-level material.
There was no need to form agreements. It was routine to get rid of all those without a team and then decide who could get the final victory.
Tentacles smiled at Wang Zheng. "Brother Charcoal, let's form a team. It can save you a lot of trouble at the start. When you get the Blade Technique trial opportunity stone, you must let me touch it and then take a picture."
Wang Zheng chuckled. Actually if Tentacles had not arrived, he could instantly escape from the 4 people and then quickly reach the front. Even if someone wanted to target him, they would not find him.
But, Tentacles had good intentions, so Wang Zheng slowed down. He took it as bringing Tentacles along to pass the trial. At the early stages of the Volcano Trial, speed was not important. The key was in the second half stage, on how they could complete the trial goals under dangerous difficulties.
Hong long!
A terrible earthquake caused a crevice to open.
The volcano had not erupted yet but one could feel the ground tremoring more and more.
A streak of flames shot out from the ground and sprayed towards the sky. Deep red lava followed closely, flowing out like viscous sugar syrup and covering the ground, forming a lava lake.
The four people who attacked Wang Zheng previously were a little unlucky. They stepped directly on the spraying point of the ground fire and were directly burned into charcoal, exiting from this time's Volcano Trial.
"The volcanic activity is starting to become more violent. We have to speed up." Tentacles took out a Volcano Trial intelligence card. The intelligence card exploded and in Tentacles' mind, a map appeared. "I'll walk in front and guide the way."
"Okay." Wang Zheng nodded. The intelligence card was a good way to accumulate experience.
Along the way, they faced multiple difficult obstacles. The biggest danger came from the sudden burst of lava from underground. There were almost no signs at all. Even if you had a higher ability, one spray of a streak of lava would turn one into ashes.
Fire attribute ability X users were like fishes in water. Their teams advanced with cooperation and at this moment all of them could avoid smoothly the burst of lava. Unless of course if they were really unlucky. Basically, those teams passed this stage with no injuries.
At this moment, it showed how special that piece of intelligence card on Tentacles' hands was. All the way, they actually totally avoided all the paths with bursting lava spouts. It was extremely easy. This was also the importance of having prior intelligence. Hence, the tougher the trial, the more expensive the intelligence card, and there was no doubt that the sale of intelligence was a considerably profitable business. Of course, the better the intelligence, the harder to get. Basically all good intelligence was monopolized by big organizations.
Halfway up the mountain, those single player trial participants were basically all gone at this moment and the double player groups were starting to get targeted.
Flames suddenly burst out!
Wang Zheng quickly grabbed Tentacles and pulled him towards the left suddenly. This time, it was not the lava from the trial but from the attacks of other trial participants.
Two people blocked their way and looked at Wang Zheng with surprise. "Oh? This guy actually can discover my flame trap. A talent."
A voice sounded lightly. The two people broke some sort of illusion in the road ahead. One was dressed from head to toe in fiery red and the other was so muscular, it felt as though his muscles were like metal.
Chapter 621: Choosing Your Path
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Tentacles' expression changed, his jaw dropped opened and he said in a shocked voice: "Unmovable Mountain, Invading Fire…"
Perhaps they were the ones hired by the Shadows Group?
It should not be the case. These two were people from the Saint level Star Clan.
Was this a surprising turn of events or was this all planned by the Shadows Group?
"Heh, there's still people who recognize us." Invading Fire smiled slightly. "Since you know who we are, then be good and take the initiative to quit. Don't waste our time."
With a whole body of metallic muscles, Unmovable Mountain did not speak. His eyes only locked onto Wang Zheng. There was something wrong. Usually the people in front of him would become incredibly uncomfortable. To describe them as uneasy would be light, but this black masked guy was different. He was still full of confidence? And, his gaze was quite annoying!
Wang Zheng was only looking at Unmovable Mountain with curiosity. This guy's body could actually metalize. This was quite peculiar. Metal ability X users were quite rare and this guy in front of his eyes was a little too exaggerated.
"Bro, are you painted in a metallic color or is that ability X? It shouldn't be a cultivation technique, right?"
Upon hearing Wang Zheng speak, Tentacles who was originally still guessing if they were the muscles of the Shadows Group almost hyperventilated. He wanted to faint. My Brother Charcoal, even though you might be dead today, but aren't you being….. a little too anxious for death?
Both Unmovable Mountain and Invading Fire were generals from the Saint level Star Clan. Their fame came not from the strength of the Star Clan but from the big battles they fought. It was fame that was gained though fierce victories.
"Brother Charcoal, be careful. They are powerful players from the saint level."
Tentacles coughed and moved. Who knew, this might be the Shadows Group's arrangement. He had better stand further away….. Anyway, based on his ability, he could not help much.
A body that was covered in flames for a long time, and its energy was in a cycle of endless generation. If he did not guess wrongly, this type of ability could provide immunity to flames of a certain strength and the lava environment to him might not be harmful and even be a type of support.
Unmovable Mountain, whose eyes were locked onto Wang Zheng, suddenly stepped out. His whole body rumbled loudly and the metallic color on his body turned darker.
Unmovable Mountain – his most unique characteristic was that his body could strengthen to the degree where he was immune to physical attacks. People who fought with him were basically finished within 10 moves.
Tentacles blinked, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. To be killed once like this was nothing. The punishment for the Volcano Trial was also not heavy.
However, why was Black Charcoal not evading? The first reaction of normal people seeing a metallic man rushing towards them would be to evade first before retaliating. However, Wang Zheng's first reaction was not to retreat but to move forward in huge steps and rush in with a punch!
Invading Fire was also stunned. That Black Steel masked noob actually dared to advance? There was a slight sarcastic smile on his face. Tsk, Acolyte level, it was true that when the forest was big, there would be all kinds of birds.
Even on the Saint level, not many dared to clash directly with Unmovable Mountain. It was like a tiny sheep trying to run into a moving truck.
Unmovable was also being too oppressive. He actually used his full power to handle this small thing from the Acolyte level.
However, instantly, the smile on his face froze.
Hong…..
The skies shook and the ground moved.
It was not an earthquake and there would not be any flames exploding from underground. It was the shockwave from the head-on clash between Wang Zheng and Unmovable Mountain!
Both parties transferred the power towards the ground and the ground kept shaking.
On the Acolyte level, there actually was someone who could block the Unmovable Mountain!
Enthusiasm burst from within Unmovable Mountain's eyes. He shook his two fists and shortly, the metallic glow throughout his body surged towards his right arm in waves.
Full Metal Iron Fist!
At that crucial moment, Wang Zheng still chose not to evade, rather he faced the challenge directly with interest.
Wang Zheng had also felt the atmosphere of his opponent to give his all without second thoughts. This Unmovable Mountain's battle style suited his tastes.
His right fist burned, fire ability X exploded, facing the impact head on!
But, at the instant the two fists were to meet, Wang Zheng's mind suddenly changed…
He had an eureka moment and at that instant, his fist changed to a finger, the spreading flames also retreated to his finger in an instant.
Where else would it be more suitable but to test this move than here!
Atomic Burst Finger Style!
Pa!
There was a loud sound and Wang Zheng jumped away suddenly, cradling his finger. Shit, this was painful… the 10 fingers were truly connected to the heart. That was not a lie. This Atomic Burst tricked him.
"It really is not paint but metalized. Amazing."
Wang Zheng flung his finger. F*ck, it was really painful! He originally wanted to try out the Atomic Burst on a strong opponent. Obviously, he failed and the price was that his finger had almost fractured. It was now swollen.
Unmovable Mountain's expression did not change and glared at Wang Zheng.
"Continue?"
Wang Zheng flung his hand. Simple swelling did not affect his combat power.
Invading Fire and Tentacles on the other hand were stunned…
Unmovable Mountain's Full Metal Iron Fist and his opponent got away with only a swollen finger?
What the f*ck, even if it was an actual tanker, the tanker would be smashed flat?
Invading Fire's eyes turned cold. This time, it was obvious that he and Unmovable Mountain were not here for the 32 Point Blade Technique, compared to their usual 32 Point Cultivation Techniques could be seen as relatively weak.
Fighting Black Charcoal was actually a big business deal. Both he and Unmovable Mountain had a Snatch Card on them. As long as they defeated their opponents, they could forcibly snatch the opponent's techniques, the qualification to be a Son of Saint and even the understanding of cultivation techniques. These would be sealed into the card as a different kind of cultivation technique.
If Black Charcoal's strength was average, they could directly use the Snatch Card twice and steal his qualifications to be a Son of Saint.
If he was very strong, then they would force out Black Charcoal's trump card.
Invading Fire's eyes flashed. Just as he was going to join the battle, Unmovable Mountain suddenly retreated a step, turned and walked away.
Invading Fire was stunned. Unmovable Mountain had never retreated at the last minute. Besides, the Shadows Group had given them great benefits, to retreat at this moment; they would not only have to return the deposit, but still had to pay out double the amount as compensation. This was the rules in the industry. If they broke the rules, it was equivalent to breaking their income flow.
"Hey, Mountain? Ahem… Kid, you remember this." Invading Fire did not pursue the battle. Unmovable Mountain was being a little strange and he needed to take a look. He left with a warning and chased after Unmovable Mountain.
Tentacles' jaw dropped open. Just like that and nothing would happen?
Even though he knew that Black Charcoal was very strong, but that was also only at the Acolyte level. No matter what, Unmovable Mountain was also a famous powerful player on the Saint level. Even if Black Charcoal was very strong, they should have to fight at least 10 rounds right? Why did he leave after only 2 clashes? Was this still a powerful player? Where was his integrity? Where was his pride?
Perhaps they were not sent by the Shadows Group? Tentacles was confused.
"Let's go." Wang Zheng rubbed his finger. That type of swollen painful feeling was very realistic. The World of Saints really had a good stimulator. The uncomfortable feeling brought by swollen pain was no different than that in reality.
Additionally, Wang Zheng blinked and suddenly laughed. "Tentacles, these two people, are they right in the head? Obviously we have won, why would they run ahead of us?"
"Er…..it seems so, yes." Tentacles blinked. Hello, please stop focusing on such a strange point! He was still immersed in the fact that a finger defeated the Unmovable Mountain's Full Metal Iron Fist.
The footsteps of both Unmovable Mountain and Invading Fire stopped. Invading Fire was a little angry. "Unmovable, what the f**k are you doing. I have not attacked yet. This will affect our reputation!"
What was wrong with his old partner? Why did he retreat when they had just started. Coming down from the saint level to do such things was a little degrading but they were doing this for the sake of money. This was too unprofessional.
Unmovable Mountain turned and looked at Invading Fire. His tense muscles relaxed. Instantly, his metalized right arm suddenly shook violently…
Unmovable Mountain's eyes had a nasty look. "My arm is wasted. The cultivation technique dissipated.���
Invading Fire was stunned. This…. How was this possible…..
At this moment, a shadow appeared in front of the 2 persons. "Sirs, you guys are not holding up the end of our deal. Taking our money yet not doing what was promised. Do you think that our Shadows Group is easy to bully?"
Invading Fire looked coldly at this person. As he wanted to speak, beside him, Unmovable Mountain shook his head. "We failed. According to rules, we will return double the price. The Snatch Card, we'll return to you. Invading Fire, let's go!"
Unmovable Mountain and Invading Fire left without hesitation. Obviously they did not want others to see through them. Since they already paid the compensation, there was naturally no need to explain. This d*mn Shadows Group, giving so little money for such a troublesome case!
Even though the two persons' test had failed, but the plan had to continue. Because this was actually just the first wave, it did not affect the ultimate plan.
Wang Zheng and Tentacles continued forward. On their journey, they were met with many scuffles and the opponents all had some skills. The attraction of 32 Point Blade Technique was still great. It could sell for a good price even if not used personally. On the Acolyte level, the 32 Point cultivation technique was still quite rare.
Wang Zheng was very happy, but Tentacles was very sad…
This Black Charcoal actually ran over these type of dangerous difficult obstacles so easily. Whether it was generals from the Star Clan, assassins from the Snake Clan, the assistant hall leader of the Unlimited Hall…
Such a lineup and they all only slightly blocked Black Charcoal's ongoing momentum, and then they were KO-ed by him!
It was really a KO!
Tentacles finally understood. These blockers were 80-90% related to the Shadows Group. Except, he did not understand why the Shadows Group expended such effort to handle one Black Charcoal from the Acolyte level. What was their goal? The Son of Saint qualifications? Was it really worth it?
Wang Zheng played around until he was very happy. The opponents he met were all very interesting. To be honest, they expanded his horizons very much. "Tentacles, this time round, the trial you chose is very interesting. I would even dare to name myself the Mocking Monarch. I really seem to attract hatred naturally."
Tentacles was shocked and his heart beat loudly. He laughed dryly. "The 32 Point Blade Technique is still quite attractive it seems."
At this moment, a split in the road appeared.
Wang Zheng's eyes swept the surroundings and smiled. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and nodded towards Tentacles : "Ah, there's a split. Let's go our separate ways to scout and save time. We'll contact each other later. You can choose first."
Tentacles knew he had to make a decision. In the end, he really did not have the courage.
Watching as Tentacle's shadow disappear on the road, Wang Zheng laughed lightly and shook his head. He headed for the other path.
Chapter 622: Tentacles' Integrity
Translator: Abyssruler
Editor: Lucas
There was not a single trial participant on this route. Wang Zheng stopped walking and said to his surroundings, "That's enough, stop hiding. Everyone's time is limited. Let's get done with it quickly."
Hong long…
Wang Zheng had just finished his sentence when five silhouettes suddenly appeared and surrounded him. Each of them wore a colored mask. There were red, yellow, blue, white and black masks. It was an indescribable level of weird. Then he saw that all five held a card in their hands.
Wang Zheng's eyes flashed. In the World of Saints, the one thing that no one could predict about was cards. Before the cards were activated, no one knew what type of special effects it had.
However, Wang Zheng's eyes showed curiosity. Five cards, it felt a little like being treated like a VIP. "Ahem, stop looking, let's get this over with."
The expressions on the five person were not good, shit, was it easy for the five of them? They tried so hard to rush to the front only to see their target rushing towards them just as they laid down their ambush.
"Lock!"
The five of them suddenly acted, even their hand signs were exactly the same. Five cards were thrown out forcefully.
Hong long. Wang Zheng only felt his vision blur and then saw five streaks of twisted flashes appearing in his surroundings, locking him within a certain range. It was like a cage, except that if he wanted to escape, the twisted flash would whip him like an electric whip.
Pa!
The force was very strong, and…
He could very obviously sense that his Ability X was severely suppressed in this area locked down by the five streaks of flashes.
The five streaks of twisted flashes not only locked him into a cage but at the same time were also creating an Ability X suppressing field.
Wang Zheng watched curiously. Until now, the feelings he had about the technology in the World of Saints seemed very realistic. The technology appearing in here, could very possibly be realized in reality…
Just like the "cauldron" in Inner Roland.
The five person looked at Wang Zheng with a sneer. "Don't struggle anymore. Just give us the Son of Saint qualifications obediently and then, we will not make it difficult for you."
The Son of Saint Qualifications?
It looked like they had been here waiting for long, and were targeting him specifically, not only for the 32 Point Blade Technique.
"I'm very curious. Is this Saint Trial that important?"
Wang Zheng only had one thought towards the Son of Saint qualifications. It saved money. Now, no matter which trial he took part in, they were all free. It was very useful.
As for whether or not he could become the Son of Saint…
Was that really important? It was only a title.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's bash him and use the Snatch card." Red said coldly.
Far away…
Tentacles' head sneaked out, watching from afar.
Red, Yellow, Blue, White, and Black, had a very impressive nickname. They were called the "five color assassins". They were powerful players from the Saint level. There were many legends about them and there was one story that many people loved. That was that the five of them had attacked a saint in the Acolyte level. While unsuccessful, but under the retaliation of the saint, they managed to retreat without suffering any damages.
To be able to retreat without damage from the hands of a saint, that was definitely a legendary experience to be proud of.
Tentacles was not stupid, Black Charcoal had been taking care of him all the way. Human heart was made of flesh. The reason why he was asked to check out the roads was also because Wang Zheng sensed the five color assassins and diverted him first…
Tentacles also knew that five cards. They were called the Five Element Soul Locking cards. These five people possessed the five elements – metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and formed a caged space that restricted Ability X.
Even if it was the Son of Saint, faced with this restrictive cage formed by the seal of the five elements, he would have to face defeat.
Hong long…
Red, Yellow, Blue, White and Black, all five of them attacked at the same time. The Greater Five Elements Rotating Cultivation technique formed a streak of white light and rushed towards Wang Zheng in the cage.
Wang Zheng blocked with his arms and there was a loud explosion. His whole person was blasted into the air and slammed against the twisted flashes that formed the cage. Instantly, electric light sparked and whipped him back into the middle of the cage.
It looked like some sort of high-energy laser cage but with a certain degree of intelligence.
The prerequisite to using the Snatch card was to defeat the opponent until the stage where he could no longer retaliate, yet still not dead. It was difficult to achieve. Such a difficult condition to fulfil and it was only the five color assassins who could do it.
Tentacles thought in his heart. A big organization was a big organization. This time it was definitely a killing formation. Black Charcoal could not escape from this attack. However, he did not know why but he could not feel happy at all. He betrayed Black Charcoal just like that?
Black Charcoal came because he trusted him.
Hong long…
And he saw Wang Zheng beaten to the ground again by the five of them. The clothes on his body was burnt and messed up by the five streaks of twisted lightning. Under this kind of seal, his Ability X could not be used at all and it greatly reduced the effect of his cultivation technique. Additionally, his opponents were powerful players from the saint level and had reached the point of despicableness.
Tentacles felt that he really was very despicable. He was a traitor and yet wanted to have a good reputation at the same time. He already took the benefits and then maintained a certain level of relationship with the Shadow Group. This was beneficial for him except for the fact that he had to sell out Black Charcoal.
But seeing the fiery eyes of Black Charcoal in the Five Elements formation, Tentacles felt uncomfortable. That kind of passion made him uncomfortable. If Black Charcoal was a little more selfish, a little more bad tempered, or maybe bullied him, then perhaps he would not feel so bad. But what he felt now, was that instead of selling Black Charcoal out, he… had sold himself.
All for a cultivation technique and a bit of money and he sold himself. During this period of time he was not happy at all. He was very conflicted and now he finally understood. He thought that he had earned something but actually the most idiotic person was him.
"F**k!"
Tentacles ground his teeth and rushed out. He wanted to destroy the seal. It was impossible to do so from inside. The Five Element conflicted formation was well-rounded and could not be opened at all. He could only interfere from outside.
Pa!
A figure suddenly blocked Tentacles.
"Tentacles, I always thought that you were a smart person. I did not know that you were an idiot as well."
The guy in black looked coldly at Tentacles. A pitiful guy, going between conscience and benefits, feeling troubled over the conflict, such a stupid pathetic child.
Tentacles looked at his contact from the Shadows Group. He should have expected that they would have made preparations against him. Even though he failed but his heart felt very comfortable. People lived to be comfortable.
Tentacles laughed, he had not been so happy in a long time. He shrugged his shoulders. "I also think that I'm quite stupid, to actually be sold at such a low price, so I'm regretting it now!"
The contact person from Shadows Group laughed. "Tsk, tsk, even if I do not stop you, you think that Black Charcoal will forgive a traitor like you? Who dares to use a traitor? Hehe, on behalf of your talent, I'll take it that nothing happened."
His eyes were filled with an unexplainable mockery. It was most interesting to tease humanity, to see a person struggle non-stop, when actually fate was already totally out of his control.
Tentacles smiled faintly, "I'm also not sure what happened to me. In the past, I always thought that I'm someone. Now I know, I'm just an average person, not only that, I'm also the most average villain. Now I realize that I can't even be a villain. Since I can't be a gentleman, nor be a villain, I shall be a pathetic person, but even if I'm very pathetic, I will also have my pathetic integrity – that's still better than you! A shameful backstabber!"
Chapter 623: Arbiter Style Brainwashing
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Hou!
Tentacles suddenly raised his hand, a card flew out!
5 Thunder Card.
This was from Tentacles' precious collection, reserved specially for desperate moments.
A pathetic person's integrity?
Hong… the 5 Thunder Card exploded…
Tentacles was stunned… the opponent was not injured at all, what the f*ck was this???
The black robed man laughed, he laughed at his opponent's ignorance and idiocy. A mere disciple level guy and he dared to attack him. What Tentacles had, he also had, what he did not have, he also had them all!
Instantly, he came to Tentacles' side. Upon reaching he gave him a kick to his heart and immediately beat him till Tentacles vomited blood. "There's a type of people who are as lowly as ants. And you will forever be a dog!"
Hong…
Tentacles flew up.
"As a dog you don't have to be smart, just loyal. Take a look at yourself, stupid and idiotic; you can't even be a good dog!"
Hong hong hong… It was another round of continuous mid-air kicks, followed closely was an electric light ball that covered Tentacles. Explosive electric light rushed in and a sharp sound accompanied the black robed man's mad laughter.
However, suddenly there were warning signs and the black robed man instantly retreated…
Black Charcoal actually came out!!!
Wang Zheng looked a little messed up. Originally he wanted to try out this 5 Element Seal Formation used by these 5 Color assassins. It was quite an interesting thing. These 5 people were really smart and had quite an understanding of the 5 elements. They actually really could seal a person's Ability X. Except that he did not expect Tentacles to really jump out. There was no other way and he could only make his move.
Who said that you could not beat someone when your Ability X was sealed? This suppression was nothing to Wang Zheng.
The black robed man obviously was shocked and ran away without even turning back. He disappeared in a blink of an eye, obviously he had exited the trial.
Tentacles who was beat up badly crawled up and stared with his jaws dropped. He thought that they had lost it all. Other than the saint, he had never heard of anyone being able to escape from the 5 Color assassins…
Looking at Black Charcoal who was standing nearby, Tentacles' figure slowly disappeared. He was too ashamed to face Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng shook his head helplessly. Actually he knew early on. To offer so much without asking for anything in return – it would either be a trick or trap. Perhaps at the beginning, they had a good impression of each other, but after that, Tentacles was too deliberate. It was just that Wang Zheng did not care. He had different goals for the World of Saints, the continuous flow of powerful players seeking trouble with him actually helped him.
Wang Zheng still had to complete the trial. Indeed, he found the 32 Point Blade Technique. Thinking back, without that guy, Tentacles, it was quite troublesome for him to get this technique. Wang Zheng indeed did not have the intention to waste time to find it.
After getting rid of the troubles from the Shadows group, his path was smooth without obstacles. To handle Wang Zheng, they really put in quite a bit of effort. They hired all sorts of people to test him out, and at the same time block him from entering. They even specifically hired the 5 Colors assassins to attack. The Snatch card was very expensive and their spending was immense. They cast an extensive net, but never in their dreams could they have thought that the Black Charcoal whose Ability X was sealed still could beat up the 5 Colors assassins easily.
From the advent of the Shadows Group's development to the present, this was the first time they met with such a thing. Their plan was already foolproof yet they failed. The problem was that this loss would deal a heavy blow on the reputation of the Shadows Group.
With no one to block his path, Wang Zheng smoothly earned the 32 Point Blade Technique. The trial itself was not meaningful. The 32 Point Blade Technique was also a cultivation technique that could only be used at the Saint level.
But that 5 Element Formation gave Wang Zheng a lot of inspiration. The people here dared to dream and dared to do because it was after all part reality and part illusion. But this was why they often received inspiration.
Actually in reality it was difficult to achieve such great coordination between 5 people to form such a formation. People who had a little understanding of spiritual power would know that it was quite difficult to achieve this type of resonance. People who had such a degree of control of their spiritual power were also least likely to want to coordinate with others.
However, this type of idea itself was very interesting. Originally, Ability X was quite rigid but through combining different attributes, technology and the five elements, it surprising created a power to shock.
It was also because his opponent did not prepare enough and thought that it was foolproof. If they had prepared a sniper, then he would be in danger.
Wang Zheng was mulling over the way to destroy the formation. He was very interested in researching on ways to breakthrough such a difficult situations. It was most likely an obsession forced out by Bonehead's training.
But in reality, nobody would spend such energy and plan so comprehensively. This was on the level of assassinating a Milky Way Alliance politician.
Wang Zheng on the other hand was excitedly thinking about the beauty of the 5 Elements formation. Since it could lock someone down, why could it not be used to strengthen oneself?
The 5 elements were connected and should be able to form a cycle of life. With such power and endurance, would that not be undefeatable?
The only disappointing thing was his attempt to use the Atomic Burst Finger in actual battle failed again.
This was a totally different thing from breaking Little Oli's aura. He was able to win with other methods as well as Wang Zheng's was stronger than Oli. However, if he fought her head-on and used only the Atomic Burst Finger Style to fight, the effect would be very poor.
If not for the fact that he had trained well and retracted fast enough, it was most likely that he would get a fractured finger. However, in reality, according to the theory behind the Atomic Burst, the finger would be unbreakable and would directly break the core of the enemy. A purely physical collision would not occur..
The theoretical reasoning was clear. However to actually do it, it was as difficult as reaching the skies. This type of feeling was like having the moon in the sky forever yet having no means of transport for people who wanted to reach the moon…
Huang Class-7 was very busy recently with the appearance of two famous people – Wang Zheng and Oliviola. While a little worse off in the aspect of Ability X, strength was ultimately strength. It did not affect Wang Zheng's fame and in the end Instructor Bonu had apparently retired due to physical reasons. This made many people speculate that Wang Zheng was actually someone with significant backing.
Wang Zheng was all along not interested in gossip. This type of illusionary things could not be taken as food. But thinking about it, showing off his strength reduced a lot of trouble for him.
Compared to Wang Zheng's carefree attitude, Oli changed a lot. Firstly, her friends increased a lot, at least, Snow Li and the others had become her good friends.
They had similar family backgrounds. She was from a big family from Arbiter. Otherwise, she would not have the qualifications to set up an engagement with Olivios. This seemed a little comedic in other countries but in Arbiter it was something very common. However, in the past, Oli only saw Olivios once from afar and most recently, it was the period where school had started and Olivios came to look for Wang Zheng.
Olivios was no doubt a strong warrior. But to be honest, he would not be a good boyfriend. This person was definitely boring to a certain level, but this was the mark of an Arbiter man. Arbiter's girls would think that this was cool, that this was being manly.
As for this, Snow Li and the others expressed that it was unacceptable for them. Arbiters led overly boring lives. How could they have arranged marriages? Listening to Little Oli's tone, Olivios was very popular. If not for their family ties, the Arbiter's women who wanted to marry him could form a circle around their capital.
For this, Little Oli was also very proud. Of course, for herself, she felt somewhat inferior.
Little Oli's confession made Snow Li and the others speechless. How could a girl be like this!
This was most definitely regressive!
Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan on the other hand looked at each other. How could such a good place exist? Why did it sound like the a horrifying form of ancient society?
It seemed exaggerated but it was actually not exaggerated. Many planets had systems more ridiculous than this. There was even some with slavery systems that could never be abolished. This was also one big special feature of the great interstellar voyage era. Of course, with time and development, perhaps one day there will be a universal system but it was impossible for this to happen in the upcoming 100 to 200 years.
"Little Oli, do you think Wang Zheng is strong, or Olivios is stronger?" Ai Xiaolu suddenly asked with a smile. As she said, she specially picked a fish ball for Little Oli. Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei flew here specially to eat lunch together.
Upon hearing, Wang Zheng almost choked. This girl was creating trouble. If anything, she was only afraid that there would not be chaos. He and Oliviola did have a battle but after knowing Oli's identity, he needed to avoid suspicion. At least, he did not want to add such gossipy matters into the upcoming battle. This would affect the atmosphere.
If it was before, Oli would definitely not hesitate to think that Olivios would win but now, she still thought so, but she did have a slight hesitation. "Olivios is the leader in our new generation of Arbiters. He may have detractors, but I think that he will ultimately stand at the tip of the universe. He is invincible."
Seeing Oli's serious look, everyone choked. This level of brainwashing was too high. There was no need to go to this level.
Zhang Shan blinked excitedly, and felt so comfortably refreshing in his heart. Yan Ge beside him stomped on Zhang Shan's foot. "What are you so happy for!"
Zhang Shan leaned over and spoke in Yan Ge's ear. "You don't know, it's so rare to see this guy being forced to admit defeat, it is as though god's eyes had opened."
"Tch." Yan Ge looked at Wang Zheng with disdain. This guy could fight but girls were not crazy, did he think that they would like a person just because he could fight.
Wang Zheng on the other hand did not care and continued eating. He was seriously eating and spoke less.
Oli could not be blamed for this. Since young, her family had instilled such values into her. Everyone else said so too and all the girls around her age were also envious of her. Basically, they all thought that she could not match up to Olivios. He was an existence who would lead Arbiter towards the top of the universe.
Hence, Oli was working very hard to train and learn, but this also formed a sense of inferiority in her character.
Snow Li saw the gloom that flashed in Oli's eyes. To be such a fiancée was really pathetic, to not even have the courage to meet.
"Xiaolu, don't you think that as friends we should help Oli to change a little?" Snow Lo suddenly said laughingly.
Ai Xiaolu blinked and a bright smile spread across her face, "You mean… that's smart!"
The few girls exchanged a knowing look. In this aspect, Ai Xiaolu was a professional.
"Everyone, excuse us, we are bringing Oli to undergo some key lessons for girls." Ai Xiaolu said with her arms akimbo.
