Chapter 1209 - 745 - 752

Chapter 745: Who is the Best?

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Since you're so willing to learn, it wouldn't be right if I didn't give you some pointers." Ai Xiaolu did not want to lose out. After all, she was an expert from Xuan Class 1, there was no way she would be afraid of someone from Huang Class 1.

Upon seeing the two beauties engaged in a deep conversation, everyone did not interrupt. Except Jasper, who suddenly chipped in, "I know a few battle experts. If Miss Ai and Miss Lie are interested, I can introduce them to you."

"Don't be nosy!" Both of them responded in unison.

Jasper touched his nose, it looks like he had failed to get into their good books.

"Okay, if you guys want to spar with one another, fret not as there are plenty of chances to do so when you're back at the Academy. Since everyone is here, those who are looking for investment projects please head over to find Lan Ling, she's the overall caretaker of Titatitan Star.�� Wang Zheng said with a laugh.

Lan Ling nodded her head, "If you're a friend of Wang Zheng, you're also a friend of the Titatitan Star. We welcome your investments, and I believe, that every investment made will bring bountiful returns for everyone."

"I will consider this over the next few days. If it is found to be suitable, the Ai Shi Financial Group will invest in the tourism development of the Titatitan Star. As long as we are involved, you can be assured that it would be a stellar project!"

Ai Xiaolu was domineering indeed. For tourist planets, there was a seven star rating system in place. If a planet was certified seven stars rating, it would undeniably attract individuals from the Milky Way Alliance who enjoyed travelling. Travelling was definitely one of the life goals that one set to achieve. Typically, everyone started with the planets with a one star rating. Those who had sufficient capital and background, they would go for planets with a three stars rating. However, if the investments and operations were handled by the Ai Shi Financial Group, it would definitely start off with a five star rating.

Such domineering aura was something that others could not compare with.

If not for Wang Zheng's introduction, Lan Ling would have thought that Ai Xiaolu, someone who was a little younger than her, was just bragging. But now, she could only believe her words. The tourism industry required large amounts of investment, but had a long return period. Not many were willing to do it, and even so, it would not be possible if one did not have enough influence and an extensive relationship network.

Jasper was just excited. Putting other issues aside, with the addition of the Ai Shi Financial Group, it would definitely be a profitable venture to invest in Titatitan Star. If he could be a part of it, he would had struck it rich.

Yan Xiaosu's comical gestures had made the atmosphere a little more lively. But the Hail Cloud sisters seemed to have gone up against Lie Xin. Lie Xin was one of those who would gain power upon being provoked. She was getting intimate with Wang Zheng, leaning her breasts on him from time to time, and it was infuriating Ai Xiaolu till the extent that she wanted to give her a punch.

But on Titatitan Star, she wasn't Lie Xin's match.

A welcome banquet had ended in such a unique and strange atmosphere. On the contrary, Snow Li was rather calm about it, the competition between Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei did not seemed to have bothered her at all.

"Brother Yan, these are all high quality beauties, but why do I think Wang Zheng will not take a fancy for them?"

Jasper dragged Yan Xiaosu along to the next event. The night was still young for them, and for Yan Xiaosu who was lucky to have escaped death, this was the time to be enjoying his life.

It was an eye-opener for Jasper. To be able to have a meal with Lan Ling, was something that he could not have imagined in the past. All along, he thought that Yan Xiaosu and Lan Ling were only acquaintances. He did not expect them to share such a close relationship, Yan Xiaosu wasn't bragging, it was just that he was keeping a low profile.

And Wang Zheng, although he did not know much about him, it was obvious that these guys were coming for him. For Wang Zheng to defeat an Earth Grade killer so easily, and have so many helpers, with the addition of the Titatitan Star's stance, crap, this fellow was really an incredible person.

The more unpredictable, the more Jasper had found this to be unfathomable.

"So you think these are of the finest quality?" Yan Xiaosu asked.

"Brother Yan, you must be joking. This ain't the highest grade? This is already the cream of the crop! I've heard of the Lie family, it's one of the reputable families of the Solar System. And Lan Ling can be considered as the owner of Titatitan Star, and Hail Cloud ladies have a huge influence within the Hail Cloud Alliance. They are all beauties, if they aren't considered as beauties of the finest quality, then who else?"

Jasper did not buy this, he did not believe it, for he had already seen much of life and the world around him.

Yan Xiaosu smiled bitterly, patted Jasper's shoulder and said, "My dear brother, you're still young. There will be plenty of chances in the future, and you will know what is the true definition of the finest quality."

Pertaining to Wang Zheng's matters, Yan Xiaosu would not say much about it to outsiders.

Compared to Aina, the other ladies were lacking in one aspect or another.

Yan Xiaosu's stance had intimidated Jasper.

Even classier, even more cool, and even more fairy-like?

What the f**k, could it be the Princess of Atlantis, or the Princess of Aslan?

Meh, how could this be.

Aslan Galaxy…..

The strength of Aslan's power did not weaken because of their national peace policy, instead, the developments brought about by peace had made Aslan even more invincible. Compared to the Arbiter Republic, Aslan had come to realization earlier.

The unprecedented centralized power of the royal family, was not limited to the control of the capital star. The control over the Aslan Galaxy, and the control over the colonies outside of the Galaxy, were all dominated by the royal family.

As Aina gradually became more involved in national government affairs, she appeared more frequently in the Aslan's media. Being a beautiful, generous princess who was close to the people, she had won over the hearts of the Aslan community.

On various occasions, Prime Minister Kashawen Aslan had also publicly expressed her appreciation for Aina, and hoped that Aina would quickly learn the ropes of managing the country after completing her studies. Well, she was getting closer and closer to ascending Aslan's throne.

But at the same time, she was drifting further and further away from Wang Zheng.

Lin Huiyin's good days had also come to an end, and she had endless courses to attend everyday. Aina would be a queen, but she would never become a prime minister. Everyone was different, and Huiyin felt that this was definitely not her fate. Even if she did not become a singer in the future, she would definitely not become a politician.

As a princess, there were duties and responsibilities she had to take charge of, but if there were things that she could not do, no one could force her into it either.

"Angela, why do I have to handle these things too? It's obvious that it will not be handled the way that I want it to be, all my opinions are completely opposite from what is being taught."

Lin Huiyin pointed at a pile of documents on the desk.

"Your Royal Highness, this is your mock political affairs assignment." Deep inside, Angela could not bear to see Huiyin suffer. The poor little princess was going to become a caged bird, but no one could defy the orders from the Prime Minister.

Kashawen had managed the country extremely well, not to mention her own daughter.

Lin Huiyin stuck out her tongue. In her heart, she knew what was going on. She picked up the documents obediently, and started looking through them with a serious expression.

Time passed by, and just as Lin Huiyin was about to have her third cup of cappuccino, there was a voice from the guards at the door, "Princess Aina has arrived!"

Upon seeing Aina, Lin Huiyin jumped up in a split second, she was liberated.

Angela smiled, and brought the rest of them out of the room. Now, it was private time for the two royal highnesses. Angela was the one who had seen through clearly the gradual changes in Aina.

The romance that Aina shared with Wang Zheng, she had seen it from the beginning till the end…

But, it should, it should have ended?

Anyways, from Aina's current state, it seemed like she had completely forgotten her past with Wang Zheng.

When it happened, Angela, who witnessed it all, had a different feeling. It was as though a fairytale whereby all the good things would always get crushed into pieces by harsh reality, and Wang Zheng's bright smile flashed through her mind. Indeed, putting aside her role, she had really felt that Wang Zheng was really a good pick.

Chapter 746: The Talk About Marriage

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Angela shook her head. It was funny how she had ended up taking sides with Wang Zheng instead.

Lin Huiyin pulled Aina as they talked. It had been a few days since they last met each other. If it was in the past, they would not feel anything, but perhaps both of them had grown up, and besides music, Aina was the only one she could communicate with.

Aina smiled, and patted Huiyin's head, "That's enough, don't complain any further. Just wait a little more, I will arrange a peace ambassador mission for you to get out of here."

"I just knew it, my sister is the best! If I stay here any longer with these documents, I will be bored to death." Lin Huiyin exclaimed with joy, for she knew that her sister was the only one who could save her from her current situation.

"Actually, what the Prime Minister wants you to do, it's all for your own good my dear." Aina smiled.

Aina was getting prettier, and everyone acknowledged that it was because her Royal Highness had the demeanor of the Queen.

"How I wished our dear Prime Minister had a little more of a human touch. I'm her daughter you know? Ahh, this is giving me a headache."

Huiyin was just like a small adult, imitating Kashawen's troubled expression.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy stuff, is there anything interesting recently?"

"Definitely, there is! Someone confessed his love to Angela, but got beaten up and ended up in the hospital. These two fools, Oz and Aurora, fought each other once again, and also ended up being hospitalized. They're so foolish. My dear sister, when you become the Queen in the future, you can ennoble them as foolish knights."

Aina listened with a smile on her face. In the past, she was close to all these happenings, but now, it became far away stories that were communicated to her. Burying herself into the cosy sofa, within the palace, this was the only place that she could let down her hair and show her fatigue.

Di di di….

Right at this moment, there was a Skylink call.

Aina's smile turned stiff for a second, and returned to normal. It was just a momentary feeling of being isolated.

Lin Huiyin did not speak anymore. At this time, to call Aina on her Skylink, it would definitely be someone extraordinary or there was a special matter that needed her attention.

Aina connected her Skylink, and Huiyin shunned to a blind spot so that she could see the screen but the caller could not see her.

It was Kashawen. Upon seeing her mother whom had a dead serious expression on her face, Huiyin stuck out her tongue, and was even more careful about being in the range of Aina's Skylink video.

"Greetings, Prime Minister."

Aina had a slender figure, and had a perfect posture fitting for a princess. She was so prim and proper, and there were no signs of the laziness she had earlier when she laid on the sofa.

Kashawen nodded her head in satisfaction. "Sign off this document. Oh yes, it's your personal time now, you can call me Aunt."

Lin Huiyin could not believe her eyes. Her mother who was so fierce and terrifying, could put on a smile on her face?

"Yes, Aunt." Aina kept her smile throughout, coupled with her sincere gaze, there was nothing one could pick on her.

But, Lin Huiyin still felt that this was not the real Aina.

The document was received in an instant. Aina opened the document, but was at a loss upon seeing its content. One must know that, her ability to control her expressions was already at its peak, and almost no one could see anything through her facial expression.

But this time, she was stunned.

Enclosed within the document, was neither government matters, nor was it a tip-off. Instead, it contained several résumés.

ID photographs, background information, education qualifications and experience …. It was all recorded down in detail.

And the similarity between all of them were the fact that they were all males, and they were all outstanding individuals from the Aslan royal family.

Kashawen said: "These are the potential candidates for your husband-to-be, and this document is not an exhaustive list."

"Could it be that the royal family's reserves have been used up, till the point that they have to sell the princess? I vaguely remember when I last saw the ledgers, there were still profits that were recorded down?" Lin Huiyin thought to herself.

Aina took a deep breath, and returned to her smiling self once again. She was calm and composed, and even looked like she was going to oppose Kashawen.

Lin Huiyin blinked her big eyes. She took a glance at her mother through the screen, before looking at Aina who was full of momentum. At last, her gaze landed on the pile of résumés. Even she had felt that her mother had gone a little overboard.

Kashawen did not change, "Even the Queen needs a partner. These youngsters are the pillars of the nation. Regardless of family background, capabilities, they are all suitable for you. Of course, they are just candidates, and you are free to like anyone, as long as that person does not bring harm to the Aslan Empire."

Freedom does not come without conditions.

Huiyin was worried that Aina would flare up, but Aina remained composed, and still had a smile on her face. She kindly responded, "Aunt, thanks for the reminder. I know, and certainly learned a lot. The Queen certainly will have a partner, but that is to be decided by the Queen herself. When she needs any assistance, she will let you know, and these are the rules as well ."

Kashawen was not angry with Aina's response, and in fact, she had great admiration for Aina, "Your Royal Highness, you have a point. How about this, forward this document to Huiyin and see if there's anyone that she likes."

"Mom, are you sure you're my mother?" Lin Huiyin jumped out. Being a innocent bystander, she was unwilling to be dragged into this.

"Princess Aina served the country, and made many sacrifices. Similarly, being a princess, you ought to bear the responsibilities of the country. If you cannot contribute in terms of helping out with government affairs, then marriage is your only way out."

Kashawen said lightly. It was obvious that word had gotten to her regarding Huiyin's recent performance.

Huiyin did not dare to confront her own mother in such an imposing manner.

Aina smiled,"Aunt, as her eldest sister, I will make arrangements for Huiyin. And I believe, I will let Huiyin achieve her happiness, while maintaining the glory and honour of the Aslan Empire."

Kashawen was left speechless in an instant. When their video call finally ended, Huiyin hugged Aina and gave her a kiss.

"My dear sister, you're the best, I love you so much!"

Huiyin had longed for the schooling life, being away from red tape, and endless responsibilities.

Luckily there was Aina to speak for her. Actually Huiyin wasn't dumb, she knew clearly the reason why the royal family was so anxious. It was because among the countries in the Milky Way Alliance, including the strong and the weak ones, although they were called an Empire, but the Aslan Empire was the only one that was controlled by the royal family. This was how the Aslan royal family was exposed to those in the Milky Way Alliance, and not only did they have to do well, they had to do better than everyone else.

If it was just a royal family in name, even if there were several huge scandals, it would not have much of an impact. But the Aslan Empire could not afford to have such incidents happening to them. Otherwise, this would mean that there were loopholes that were attacked by their opponents, under the governance of the the royal family.

This was not merely from within the country itself, but also enemies who were eyeing from the outside.

And because she understood, all the more she did not want to get involved in government affairs and politics. She was just as helpless as Aina, but under the protection of her sister, she was able to distance herself a little.

But one should enjoy the time at this moment in spite of tomorrow.

Over at Titatitan Star, Wang Zheng ended up being an escort. He had no choice as they were all coming for him. He could not ignore them either. Besides, Lie Xin and Ai Xiaolu were at loggerheads. If he had taken a side, the other would definitely not be pleased about it either.

Wang Zheng had enough for the past two days. It was as though the three ladies were putting up a show, and they were going all out for him. He had approached Yan Xiaosu for help, but Tyrant Su was the first to run away. These ladies were on another level that was beyond his abilities.

It was necessary to say that, individuals with abilities and those without abilities ought to live in two different worlds. If one has someone who could ascend to the heavens and descend to earth, it would be okay if they were friends. But if they were to be in a relationship, the pressure would be too much to bear, not to mention bringing into play one's ability to fool around.

Jasper was one of the potential choices as well, but it was a pity as he was even more incompetent compared to Yan Xiaosu. Typically he was a frivolous talker, but the moment Ai Xiaolu had taken a fancy for him, he was lovestruck and started to act cute.

Lie Xin and Ai Xiaolu seemed to be facing off with each other and this was not the first time they had brought up the idea of having a match to end their personal feuds upon returning to the Elite Academy.

The situation had escalated so quickly.

Lie Xin was anxious to see the world plunge into chaos, and there was nothing holding her back.

"I heard that the ladies from Mars are very easy-going, and open towards sex?" Ai Xiaolu asked.

Lie Xin stood upright, showing her ample bosom and despising Ai Xiaolu's chests, "You believe in such childish things? Our girls from Mars are very generous and passionate, that's true though. If we like someone, we'll go for it, that is a given. It is a crime to be coquettish, it's an obstruction to human development.

Wang Zheng and Achilles held in their laughter. The quibble between the two ladies was like an art, and the both of them were exceptional masterpieces. It was an art watching the two ladies quibble. Both of them were perplexed, and this was one of the rare times Achilles had witnessed such a scene. After all, the ladies on the Moon would never be so wild.

"Hmm, things don't happen without a reason. Wang Zheng, the Hail Cloud Star and the Earth share the same style. Although it may be a little conservative, but from another perspective this is being prudent. I guess you guys will still take this to heart, am I right?"

Ai Xiaolu suddenly took aim at Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, Achilles, wonder if I may ask, what style do your people from the Moon have?"

This was a diversion tactic, changing the direction of the conversation. With Achilles's demeanor befitting that of a handsome guy, it should work out.

Achilles smiled and said, "The one that Senior Ai is asking, it's you Wang Zheng."

Achilles knew that he would have to pay for his words and actions, and swiftly threw the question back to Wang Zheng.

Lie Xin was a little disdained, "What's there to cover up? I'm still a virgin. Why? Is it very important? I have what you have, but I also have what you don't."

She was still looking down on Ai Xiaolu's chest.

Wang Zheng and Achilles were stunned. Indeed, women were really terrifying.

Savage, domineering, mighty, and obstinate!

Ai Xiaolu was a genius from young with high IQ. No matter what she did, others would always admit defeat. Based on her past situations, this was probably the first time she had met someone like Lie Xin who was so strong headed and had no limits.

Ai Xiaolu laughed, and held Snow Li and De Fulei respectively on both sides, "The three of us are united as one. We're preparing to look for a boyfriend. Oh yes, in our Hail Cloud Alliance, we're allowed to have polygamy marriages."

Ai Xiaolu took a provocative glance at Lie Xin. She was trying to win by being stronger in numbers.

Even as Wang Zheng and Achilles had seen much of the world, they were shocked by how brutal these two ladies could get. During the Interstellar expedition era, to encourage people to have children, especially for the elites, the law was crafted. But even till now, this was just in name without much substantial proof as there were very few cases.

However, it was still lethal to bring up this matter. With such an intense atmosphere, Wang Zheng and Achilles had wanted to get away from here as soon as they could.

Chapter 747: The Meeting of Life and Death

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

When four ladies had their gazes fixed on Wang Zheng and Achilles, sweat started to drip from their foreheads. Women liked to take things seriously, and they would not stop unless they had a clear winner.

Nothing good would come out from offending either side.

Luckily for Wang Zheng, his Skylink rang right at this moment. It was a lifesaver.

Wang Zheng quickly opened his Skylink, but to his disappointment, it was only a message.

"Wang Zheng, let's meet tomorrow noon. Come alone. Salvi area coordinates, 79, 35. I think you will understand, what the consequences are if you don't turn up. Don't test my limits."

The person who signed off the message was Heaven.

Once the masses refused to back down, it was impossible for Wang Zheng to take this opportunity and escape. But from his expression, one could tell something was amiss.

"Wang Zheng, what happened? Who's looking for you?" Snow Li asked. Actually, she did not intend to fight with Lie Xin. Such a debate was pointless, but Ai Xiaolu was full of fighting spirit. Perhaps they just did not get along well, since they could not see eye to eye. As a close friend, Snow Li would definitely stand on Ai Xiaolu's side, but it was just that she did not want to create more trouble for Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng smiled, "It's nothing."

"Wang Zheng, are we buddies or not! What's there to hide from us?" Ai Xiaolu said.

"Do you expect him to tell you about his lovey dovey messages with his girlfriend? Such a busybody." Lie Xin said.

"I'm talking to Wang Zheng now, it's none of your business!

Seeing the two women coming closer together, he waved his hands and said,"It's Heaven, he's asking me out for a one-on-one battle."

In an instant, the crowd fell silent. Achilles frowned,"This fellow really likes to linger around huh? I thought he had already left, I didn't expect that he would still be on Titatitan Star."

Actually for Lan Ling and the rest, they did not want to make life difficult for an Earth Grade killer. From their intel, Heaven had failed his mission and had no reason to stay on Titatitan Star. The most important task for him at this moment was to let his arm recover. The longer he delayed his treatment, the lower the chances of a full recovery. Based on information on Heaven's wealth, money wasn't an issue, but he was still hanging around on Titatitan Star.

"Where is he now! By hook or by crook, let's get him. Let's see where he can run to!" Ai Xiaolu said.

"He needs to run? You think Earth Grade killers are made of paper? Wang Zheng, I'll go with you!" Lie Xin said, "Your freezing abilities are useless over here, I'll be thankful if you all don't drag us down."

Ai Xiaolu laughed, "You know what's really a burden? It's your level, those who don't know would have thought you're an Earth Grade expert. Wang Zheng, let Uncle Luo handle this! It's just merely an Earth Grade killer, he definitely has his ways of settling this matter!"

Everyone was astonished. But the same could not be said for Snow Li and Defley, for they knew Uncle Luo was specifically hired to protect Ai Xiaolu at all costs. For such a big and established family like the Ai Shi Financial Group, it was necessary to have someone to deal with the top level professionals, so that the family could continue with its development and expansion.

Uncle Luo looked like a typical man you would see on the streets, at least for them, they could not feel any special powers from him.

"The ability to freeze is restricted in the Titatitan Star."

"That's for normal people, it doesn't affect Uncle Luo."Ai Xiaolu said. She did not want to bring Uncle Luo along initially, and little did she expect to checkmate Lie Xin. It was a pleasure watching Lie Xin at a loss for words.

Wang Zheng shook his head,"Don't meddle with this matter anymore, and don't tell others about my broken hand. It's between the both of us."

"This won't do, you cannot go alone!"Snow Li said while shaking her head.

Wang Zheng smiled, "There's no other options. If other people come along, he will definitely disappear, and his next move would be to deal with another person."

If an Earth Grade killer took aim at ordinary people like Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu by fair means or foul, it would be almost impossible to guard against him. The more one understood, the more one knew that if an Earth Grade killer put his heart and mind into doing something, there was no way to stop him. Ai Xiaolu might not be afraid, because she had the rights to ask for protection, but the same could not be said for both Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu.

Wang Zheng had to end this once and for all, regardless of the outcome.

Snow Li and the rest of them looked at one another, for they did not expect to encounter such a situation and they returned immediately. Ai Xiaolu was persistent, and approached Uncle Luo for help. He was probably the only one who could help Wang Zheng. Although Wang Zheng had managed to defeat Heaven the other time around, even Wang Zheng himself felt that he was merely lucky to have won. This time, Heaven was not going to underestimate his opponent and let his guard down. Perhaps, Wang Zheng would not be that lucky this time round.

"Uncle Luo, can you get rid of Heaven? He's still hanging around in here!" Ai Xiaolu was anxious while talking to Uncle Luo. She was not able to stop Wang Zheng from going, but the least she could do was to devise other plans.

Luo Quan smiled, "Miss, I'm here to protect you and your safety is priority. I'm afraid I cannot meddle with other matters. The underworld has their own rules, and no one can break it easily."

"Uncle Luo, I'm going to make it big together with Wang Zheng, if something bad happens to him, it will be a great loss for me. You'll definitely have to go and get Heaven! I feel threatened by him already!" Ai Xiaolu exclaimed.

Luo Quan sighed, "Miss, it's not that I don't wish to help. I've already understood what you've told me. If we were at another location, I might be able to get hold of the opponent. But here we are, in Titatitan Star. The ability to freeze is severely restricted over here, and if Heaven is intent on leaving, I can't do anything either."

The three ladies were getting a little anxious. They had underestimated the standard of an individual from the Earth Grade. And just like what Luo Quan had said, once you provoked an Earth Grade killer and he became unscrupulous, there was really no way to prevent his attacks. Besides, this had nothing to do with the Ai Shi Financial Group, it was definitely not a wise decision to spend time and effort to chase after an Earth Grade killer.

Lie Xin and Achilles were at their wits end. Both of them were not afraid of accompanying Wang Zheng and they wanted to witness the power of an Earth Grade expert. However, the opponent definitely would have thought of this possible situation as well.

"What do we do now? Do we just wait and see Wang Zheng court his own death?"Lie Xin said.

Achilles was rather calm, and took a glance at Lie Xin, "Well, he's the only one who can resolve this matter. What we can do now is to wait, and at the same time…. prevent him from creating a diversion."

"What you're trying to say is, there's a possibility that he will continue carrying out his original plans?" Lie Xin asked, seemingly in shock upon hearing Achilles's words.

"Yes, there's a possibility. Do you actually think a killer can really be trusted?" Achilles said with a straight face.

Lie Xin was at a loss and did not know what to do next. Achilles laughed, "Lie Xin, could it be that you've fallen for Wang Zheng?"

Indeed, Lie Xin was a little different from usual. In essence, they were actually rivals with Wang Zheng. Well, they knew each other, but they weren't exactly best buddies. And their main reason for coming over to Titatitan Star was to gain some experience and breakthrough one's potential.

Lie Xin was stunned and smiled,"I guess it was a little over the top to fight with Ai Xiaolu, but Wang Zheng is really a good catch. After all, he is someone that Aina fancies, if he comes back alive, I'll receive him with open arms."

On Mars, women showed off their sexy bodies and fiery passion to comfort the heroes who had returned from battles. Just like what Lie Xin said, she did not care about whether one was a virgin or not. What the ladies on Mars pursued was freedom and liberation, it was something bilateral, as long as one was willing, and as long as it was worth it.

Achilles just laughed, he did not agree with this train of thought. The people on the Moon were born perfectionists, and they were incompatible with the people from Mars, but he did not want to interfere with the freedom of others.

Chapter 748: Stabilizing Force

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Perhaps there were many reasons to stop Wang Zheng from going, but eventually none of them worked out because Wang Zheng was innately adventurous. During the last battle, Wang Zheng had already lost half the battle, but that in turned fuelled his strong desire to win.

For some people, they were afraid of failures, afraid of being attacked by others, and hence they would avoid taking risks as much as possible. But Wang Zheng was an exception. He was not that proud and arrogant like those who came from wealthy families. In the Rubik's cube, Bonehead's super warrior training program, to put it simply, was all about the constant resurgence from failures and persevering in spite of setbacks.

Such resilience, and maturity in thoughts, were concealed under their peaceful appearance.

Most of the time, the sea was calm and peaceful, but at the bottom, there existed magnificent hidden waves.

From the last battle, Wang Zheng had clearly understood the capabilities of an individual who belonged to the Earth Grade. At the same time, he knew that the opponent was not completely perfect and had his flaws. Regardless of the mech or physical techniques, he would not be afraid, and if they were in a vast environment, Wang Zheng would be even more confident about winning the battle.

Well, he was more afraid of being restricted in a space where he had to fight all the way.

The place that Heaven had chosen was far from the city, surrounded by dense forests. Hence he had no fears, and he was not afraid that Wang Zheng would call for backup. In fact, he probably would have chosen his prime location for him to observe the situation. The moment he noticed that Wang Zheng did not come alone, he would disappear immediately and begin his assassination operation.

Well, Wang Zheng had factored this into his consideration as well, but he remained unbothered about it. He landed somewhere near the designated location, and walked towards the meeting point.

When one walks alone into the dense forests, one would be able to hear rustling sounds accompanied with the howling sounds coming from the primitive monsters of Titatitan Star. It was a little hollow, and lest we had forgotten, where was an Earth Grade killer seeking revenge for his broken hand camping inside the forests. For ordinary people, they would have felt the pressure building up on them, but for Wang Zheng, it seemed like liberation for him.

In the primitive world, there were no restraints, no baselines. There was only life and death!

After approximately half an hour, Wang Zheng finally reached his destination. As there was still some time before the designated meeting time, he started to climb trees with his agile limbs. At the same time, he observed his surroundings, which was peaceful and seemingly no one was in sight.

The ability to detect enemies, was typically an advanced technique. This was an innate advantage of those with a stronger Ability X, but Wang Zheng was able to obtain this ability. It would be impossible for Heaven to go undetected the moment he arrived.

He was curious about how would Heaven resolve the grudge between them.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted. Wang Zheng came down from the tree, as Heaven had arrived.

Heaven's left hand was still broken. It seemed like it was only given basic treatment, and Wang Zheng's gaze had turned cold.

Heaven had a smile on his face, "Your reaction is quick, and you have the guts. Looks like you have confidence in yourself huh? But did you know, if I had the intention to kill you right from the very beginning, you wouldn't be standing in front of me right now."

Wang Zheng smiled. Now, it was a psychological game. Regardless of the outcome, one had to be strong willed and believe that he was able to emerge victorious to win.

"Perhaps you're right, but that was just an 'if'. The last time you didn't manage to kill me, it will be even more impossible for you to do so this time round. But I'm really curious, the mission has already ended, you have no reason to stay on Titatitan Star." Wang Zheng said.

"Woah, you mean a broken hand is not a valid reason for me to kill you countless times?"

Wang Zheng shook his head, "If you had treated it in time, it would be recovering well right now. Well, you said the last time you had no intention to kill, but now you do, I'm really curious about the reason behind it."

Heaven was really ruthless the last time they met, but Wang Zheng did not sense his intention to kill. Things were a little different this time round. Heaven appeared to be rather relaxed and was talking cheerfully, but Wang Zheng could feel the murderous aura from him.

Heaven shrugged his shoulders, "Do you know why I had no intention to kill you the other time? You resembled me when I was younger. A youth with dreams and perseverance, someone who trusted his brothers and would not hesitate to help them at all costs, such innocence is really charming and fascinating."

Heaven was speaking with fervor. Although he had only one hand, it seemed as though Wang Zheng had already fallen into his trap.

"So actually I did not have the intention to kill you, but now I do. Someone wants you dead, and this is something I cannot go against." Heaven smiled bitterly, "Regardless of the Elite Academy, or the Underworld, there are always some forces that we cannot go against. One day you'll look back and realize, what you insist on, is only for the sake of survival and nothing less."

Wang Zheng looked at Heaven, "May I ask who that person is?"

"Killers have their own rules. Well, we're not supposed to divulge any information, but this matter itself is already breaking the rules. I can only tell you, the forces within the Underworld is extremely complicated. Offending an individual isn't a big deal, but the one who is after your life belongs to one of those forces. If I don't get you, the one that perishes would be me instead." Heaven was smiling even more peacefully, but at the same time the murderous aura was intensifying.

Wang Zheng did not know when did he offend the forces from the Underworld. Could it be his influence on the Titatitan Star had affected someone?

Or could it be the Aslan Empire?

Actually, after having his thoughts run back and forth, Wang Zheng suddenly laughed. Wang Zheng was just himself, someone who was never satisfied to be ordinary. Since it was something exciting, then all the more he had to be more vigorous. As long as it was coming for him, it did not matter to him who the person was.

"Well, it is understandable that each of us serve our own master. Brother Heaven, since it's going to be a battle of life and death, don't go easy on me. Although I may be lacking in terms of my level, but killing me ain't going to be that easy." Wang Zheng said.

"You're interesting, and tough. Although it's a pity to have you killed with my own hands, but as a professional killer, it's something to be happy about. You didn't bring anyone along, and there's only dense forests over here. You're bound to die. Actually why don't you give up. I can end it in an instant and let you experience it once and for all."

Heaven laughed, the battle between the both of them had begun.

"Brother Heaven, you're timid. How can an Earth Grade killer have no confidence in yourself." Wang Zheng laughed out loud.

Wang Zheng's counterattack was sharp and precise. Just as he ended his talk, he dove straight into the forests, instantly widening the gap between them to about ten metres.

Heaven was stunned, never in his dreams would he had thought that this fellow would pull such a trick on him. Wang Zheng appeared to be so confident, and yet he escaped in an instant.

But, was he really able to escape?

Heaven moved his body and immediately chased in the direction where Wang Zheng was heading. He had completely grasped his surroundings, a vast land far away that was filled with wild beasts. It was inconvenient for any reinforcements to penetrate through such a harsh terrain.

He wanted to see how Wang Zheng could get away from his pursuit.

It was akin to a predator chasing after its prey, but Wang Zheng was just running all the way and had no intentions of getting caught by Heaven.

At the Governor's Office, everyone had a grim expression. All of them thought everything was at peace, but they did not expect the situation to become like this. If Wang Zheng was killed, then the situation would truly turn for the worst.

This was because the team that Wang Zheng had gathered when he came to Titatitan Star, would break down immediately. Mu Sen did not expect Wang Zheng to go alone, and the main issue was that no one knew where they were supposed to meet. Besides, it had been quite some time since he left for the battle, it would be too late to help even if they had wished to.

Ai Xiaolu did not expect Wang Zheng to go ahead without saying a word, or make preparations for the battle at the very least. She was trying her best in persuading Uncle Luo to help Wang Zheng, but to no avail. Uncle Luo was a respected senior in the family, and based on his status and capabilities, he seldom had to get into action. If not for Ai Xiaolu's identity, the fact that she was part of the younger generation, and the chaos happening on Titatitan Star, he would not have come. To exchange blows with a killer out of nowhere, this was something that Luo Quan would not interfere with. And everything happens for a reason. If the Ai Shi Financial Group had gotten into trouble because of this, it would not be a wise choice to make.

The more powerful one becomes, the more unwilling one became in making enemies. At this point, it was clear that Heaven was going after Wang Zheng, and only Wang Zheng could resolve this matter on his own.

Luo Quan could see that Ai Xiaolu had a high regard, and even a little admiration for Wang Zheng. In fact, she was trying to bring Wang Zheng and Snow Li together, but when it came to crisis management, she was blinded by her emotions.

Although it was a rather good path, but based on Ai Xiaolu's identity and status, once she left the Elite Academy, there would be plenty of opportunities out there. Based on her intelligence and wits, she would benefit all her life from managing the Ai Shi Financial Group well enough.

Taking a different stance, would mean that one would have a completely different train of thought as well.

Yan Xiaosu looked pale, for he had witnessed what had happened previously, and could not fathom how the situation devolved to this state instantly.

Ye Zisu was at a loss too, while the masses were bickering nonstop. They were all thinking about how they could save Wang Zheng. On the contrary, Achilles just laughed and did not say a single word, because this situation was a little amusing to him.

Frankly speaking, with regards to one's identity or status, Achilles and Lie Xin were much more important but they still came over. It would be a lie if one said there was no danger involved in this battle, but since when did Wang Zheng became like flowers in the greenhouse that had to be specially taken care of?

Perhaps it was just a moment of frenzy because they were concerned, but Achilles could see clearly that his high regard for Wang Zheng was not because he had something, nor was it because of his performance on Titatitan Star. This was of no value to Achilles. Instead, it was Wang Zheng's approach towards danger that attracted Achilles, who was similar to him.

This was also the reason why there were no ordinary people around Achilles, because their sentimentality and weakness would be a burden for him.

In this regard, Wang Zheng did not do well. Just taking this matter for instance, Yan Xiaosu had clearly become a weakness.

In comparison, Lear Chronos was more ruthless and decisive. From another perspective, Achilles and Lie Xin were the same as well. When it came to a point where sacrifices had to be made, they could even do away with Lie Guang.

Of course, this was the reason why Achilles was willing to get close with Wang Zheng. It was because he knew that Wang Zheng had his bottom line, even if they had become enemies in the future, he would not resort to underhanded means to achieve his goals. Lear was capable of doing so, and the same went for Lie Xin too.

Just when everyone else was panicking, Yan Xiaosu's pale and worried face had become more calm, "Zisu, don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to our big boss, perhaps we will get a surprise!"

Ye Zisu was shocked, little did she expect such words to come from Yan Xiaosu who was even more timid than her.

Everyone was looking at Yan Xiaosu, and his expression was a little stiff, "How can an Earth Grade killer dare to create havoc here! I guarantee that the outcome will be extremely interesting!"

"Fatty, don't say things that you don't know about!" Ai Xiaolu was raged as she spoke. He was an ordinary fellow, at a glance he was just a mediocre fatty, and yet he dared to make such bold statements.

Yan Xiaosu did not get angry, and smiled,"Well, I can blabber nonsense about other matters, but amongst everyone here, who dares to say that he understands Wang Zheng better than I do?"

Suddenly, everyone was silent. Mu Sen and Lan Ling were also flustered, but no one would have expected that the most stable person was Yan Xiaosu. Honestly speaking, if not for Wang Zheng, the rest of them had looked down on Yan Xiaosu who was a frivolous talker and an opportunist. The strength of Little Lucky Stars was just like that, Mu Sen and Lan Ling were not foolish either, it was all for Wang Zheng's sake. But looking at Yan Xiaosu now, it seemed like they had underestimated Fatty Su.

With the guts to go against an Earth Grade killer and being the most steady one when others were in a state of panic, at critical moments, he was no different from Wang Zheng.

Chapter 749: The Hunt

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In times of crisis, it was necessary to have a pillar of support. At least for this round, Yan Xiaosu who was all along hiding at the back had become the mainstay. His confidence was overflowing and influenced the masses, and even Achilles, who had never bothered with Xiaosu, took a few glances this time round.

He had the same thoughts as Yan Xiaosu. Everyone had thought that Wang Zheng was brazen and not afraid of death, but they were so wrong. If that was the case, Wang Zheng would have died several times, from the IG training to the deep abyss. It was not to say that he was advancing gradually step by step, but it was definite that he was absolutely careful with his train of thought. And such survival abilities had already reached a horrifying state.

Although the Earth Grade killer was terrifying, but compared to the conditions of the the deep abyss it was still lacking a little. And having escaped from the hands of Heaven once, if it was him, this was nothing serious to worry about.

To speak the truth, it was difficult to tell who was the prey and the predator respectively.

In a game of life and death, it was not based on one's strengths listed on paper. In the vast jungle, there was enough space for one to maximise his potential, especially for Wang Zheng who was as ferocious as a beast.

Snow Li and the others settled down, and all they could do now was just to wait.

Tyrant Su had hit the jackpot knowing Wang Zheng's mind. At this point of time, Wang Zheng was charging towards the primitive forests that was exclusive to the Titatitan Star. Just like a beast that had got out of his cage, he showed no signs of fear, and instead one could tell from his eyes that he was extremely excited about it.

Heaven was undoubtedly his best opponent to test his abilities. He was embarrassed the first time they had met, but yet his opponent wasn't afraid to give him a second chance.

Skills and techniques were required for any forms of battle, and Heaven was of a higher level than Wang Zheng. This was something known to many but when confronted upfront, Heaven was a little more foolish than what he had seemed to be, and there was sufficient room for him to turn the situation around. Wang Zheng was most confident with his physical strength and toughness, which was exploiting his physical combat techniques to his advantage, and reducing the image of his own Ability X.

Even for warriors like them, they were human beings after all. They would get tired, hungry, restless, just like everyone else. At most, their endurance abilities would be stronger and Heaven had failed to factor this into consideration. Wang Zheng was not someone with no combat experience, instead he was a warrior that had experienced all kinds of hardships and tough battles.

It was unthinkable for an Earth Grade Killer who had yet to recover from his injuries along with a broken hand, to be up against Wang Zheng who was gearing up for battle. As long as he was able to blunt Heaven's momentum, the so-called Earth Grade experts weren't Wang Zheng's match at all.

And hence Wang Zheng had already came up with a countermeasure for the challenge. Such an environment could ensure Heaven's safety, and at the same time, it provided a vast space for Wang Zheng to run around.

It was as if the entire place was his playing field.

Heaven frowned. He was rather confident with regards to his speed. In a place where one could make use of the wood element of the five cycles, esepcailly the wind affinity, it would be extremely humiliating if one's speed was lacking. But…. the fact was that he just could not catch up with this little brat.

At their most recent battle, the two of them were only a few metres apart. But Wang Zheng was precise in his moves and worked his way around skillfully, utilising the environment to defeat Heaven. And definitely, Heaven could not take this down his throat, only displaying an expression of lament on his face. He thought he had his chances of winning, but the truth was he could not even catch up with Wang Zheng, it was embarrassing.

Well, he had no choice but to chase after Wang Zheng at all costs. The two of them chased through the forests, and that carried on for two hours. Heaven was relentless in his chase, and Wang Zheng ran even faster. Similarly, the moment Heaven adjusted his pace to relax a little, Wang Zheng slowed down his steps to rest while keeping a safe distance between themselves.

Heaven wasn't that foolish, he had already understood the plans of his opponent. But Wang Zheng seemed to have belittled him too much. For anyone who wishes to progressed to the Earth Grade, there was definitely a price to pay. Physical abilities and resilience had no bearing at all!

Not forgetting the fact that in Heaven's eyes, Wang Zheng's actions and plans were already a blatant act of provocation.

And in reality, Wang Zheng knew clearly that Heaven would have figured out his plans, this was a known strategy.

At this point, it was impossible for one to have no confidence in oneself, but this was the time to test one's fundamentals.

Another two hours had passed. The two of them weren't merely chasing and running, there was mind games involved as well. Wang Zheng definitely did not think of escaping so easily. If he had sensed that Heaven was about to take a short breather, he would purposely close up on the gap to provoke him further. Aren't you dying to kill me? I'm right here in front of you, come and get me quickly.

Heaven was in a fury. Wang Zheng was actually a strong warrior with multiple abilities, and this type of people were difficult to deal with. But typically, having a variety of abilities would mean that one might not be skilled. It was especially so when he was of the Xuan Grade, just how skilled could he be? But the speed that came with the wind affinity ability was limited. Even if one had progressed to the Earth Grade, he could not use the ability freely and his body would not be able to withstand it. When one reaches the Earth Grade, it was even more necessary to allocate one's abilities and resources reasonably and effectively.

But Wang Zheng was even faster and more agile as compared to Heaven. After a few times of exchanging blows, Heaven had realised that Wang Zheng's agility came from his physical techniques.

Wang Zheng's physical techniques were incredible, Heaven was confident of his physical techniques too, but after chasing for more than four hours, he knew that Wang Zheng was better in terms of agility.

Both of them were now fighting in terms of endurance and toughness. Although it seemed like they were keeping their distance from each other, none of them dared to take a short breather. For the moment when one of them loses focus, the opponent could potentially take the opportunity to launch an attack.

Of course, Heaven still helmed the upper hand in this battle. It would be even better if Wang Zheng had sent himself over. Heaven had thought of exposing one of his weakness and show signs of fatigue, but his intuition told him that Wang Zheng would not fall for such an amateur trick.

Well, Heaven was not an Earth Grade killer who was aged and frail. In fact, he was just a little over thirty years old, and was probably at his peak. Of course, he had wanted to advance further. Four hours had passed, Wang Zheng's body was probably tired as well, and he was tensed up. Compared to Heaven, Wang Zheng was definitely more tired and worried.

Heaven was in control of his speed, although it was not till the extent of luring Wang Zheng to attack him, but he had his plans. After four hours of chasing, the opponent should be convinced that an 'uncle' like him would have been exhausted.

But honestly, Heaven didn't feel tired at all, this was nothing to him as he had escaped death once.

And so Heaven slowed down his speed whilst chasing Wang Zheng. At times, he paused for a while, indicating that he needed to take a short break.

Yet another two hours passed, and the skies turned dark. After more than six hours of pursuit, both of them were indeed tired. And as the last ray of sunlight faded into the skies, there was an additional feeling of hunger after the long hours of pursuit.

The body would have period of adaptation. Heaven, at this point, had suddenly turned extremely ferocious. It was an explosion of his Ability X, and he was charging towards Wang Zheng at full speed.

Not only did the Elite Academy impart combat techniques, they had also taught their students various aspects of knowledge, ranging from psychology to research on the human body structure.

Heaven was approaching Wang Zheng at top speed. And at the same time, there was a strong current flowing in the space around him. There was something different about the current and wind in the atmosphere.

This was going to be a rough fight.

But Wang Zheng was all prepared. He had never underestimated any of his opponents, especially Heaven. If not, he would have fought hard. For Heaven to come forward once again after the previous incident, he definitely had a certain level of confidence. And it was useless to have an ace in the hole.

Wang Zheng ignited his flame ability X and an instant burst of flames served as a interference to the battle. And Wang Zheng took the chance to swiftly widen the gap between them, so that Heaven could not catch up so easily.

Heaven was furious and stomped his feet. The sudden burst, though it was as fast as lightning failed to catch his opponent off guard! It was shocking that the opponent was already prepared and did not give him a chance.

But the problem was, after a round of charging forward, when he slowed down his pace, Wang Zheng slowed down accordingly.

For the very first time, Heaven felt like the situation had gotten out of control.

Chapter 750: As Poisonous as a Venomous Snake

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

It was a pity that this was a game that could never end. Heaven had to reconsider his options once again. At night, it was even more difficult to draw the line between a prey and a predator. And Wang Zheng knew, this was the time for him to counterattack.

In the day, it was too difficult for him to do so as he would fall into Heaven's trap by accident, After all, this was the Earth Grade's standard and it was unquestionable. But when the night fell, everything changed. He believed that he had a definite advantage over Heaven with regards to his field of vision.

Adapting to darkness, was one of the compulsory classes Wang Zheng had taken during his cube training. Most people could be accustomed to the dark, but there was a limit to it, especially when one's speed and movement frequency had risen to a certain level.

Wang Zheng did not intend to continue being chased by Heaven. When night came, it was Wang Zheng's turf.

Heaven frowned. The opponent had stopped, could this possibly meant that he was up for the next round of battle?

Heaven did not intend to fight each other at night, as he wanted to conserve his energy. It was more suitable to do so in the day, but he still had his eyes on Wang Zheng, not letting him escape from his control.

Of course, if Wang Zheng had wanted to carry on the chase through the night, he wouldn't mind either. For he did not believe that someone of the Spirit Level would have better endurance abilities than him. If he needed to rest, his opponent would need to rest even more.

The two of them confronted each other in silence, but Heaven had sensed something was amiss. From Wang Zheng's breath, he could tell that there was an intention to attack. Hence, he could not relax, for Wang Zheng might have been thinking of launching a counterattack?

If this was the case, Heaven should be even more alert. His broken hand was the most painful lesson for him.

Although it seemed like both of them were taking a short breather, Wang Zheng was moving slowly, but in reality they were still on their toes and were ready to continue anytime.

Such an intense atmosphere was the most intimidating. The wait was even more mentally draining than having a quick showdown.

Heaven felt that Wang Zheng was constantly changing his position and using high frequency steps, and the distance between both of them was decreasing.

Heaven was stunned, and it seemed like Wang Zheng was confident in fighting with him at night. However, it was a pity. Engaging in night battles was a simple feat for someone from the Earth Grade, and anyone who had attained that level would not show any obvious flaws.

Heaven suddenly moved forward, and charged towards Wang Zheng as fast as a nightingale. And Wang Zheng swerved away in an instant, widening the gap between the both of them. In the night, his dodging jumps were even more swift and violent. After chasing for half an hour, Heaven had realized that it was extremely difficult for him to catch up with Wang Zheng during nighttime.

And hence he had to slow down his pace. After a quick assessment of the current situation, he was convinced that he had to wait till daytime for his chance. He was not afraid of Wang Zheng fleeing, as this was a battle of life and death. If he had fled, Heaven would have turned to find other people, but others would not be that competitive and worthy of an opponent like Wang Zheng.

Having sorted out his plans, Heaven sat on the tree and shut his eyes, he wanted to see if Wang Zheng would dare to come forth.

But just as he was still contemplating, a black shadow suddenly flew past. Heaven swiftly avoided it, and a 'dong' sound could be heard. The tree behind him was shot through.

It was a dart…

Wang Zheng was ecstatic. He was not only focused on running, this place was his natural hunting ground and he could casually make a simple dart on the spot. Darts made from wood, or even steel, would not be fatal to Earth Grade killers. Instead, it was a matter of who was the one throwing the dart. Wang Zheng did not intend to kill Heaven in one move, and he was just trying to torment him further.

Zing…. Zing zing…..

The darts shot across the night skies one after another. Heaven was boiling with anger, and his shoulder was scratched by the dart accidentally as well.

This bastard, how could he combine his wind affinity ability X with his darts to increase the damage! If Heaven did not defend himself properly, he would have gotten injured as well, as he was not made of steel after all.

Heaven chased after Wang Zheng furiously, and Wang Zheng fled in an instant. It was easy for him to make the darts. He was surrounded by trees in the jungle, hence he could make one quickly after making some modifications, and the next moment one dart could be seen chasing right after Heaven.

This time, it was a dart imbued with fire ability X.

The flaming dart was especially glaring in the dark, and Heaven hit it away with a punch.

"Wang Zheng, don't run away if you have the ability!"

"My dear brother, how can you be so naive. You're letting me, someone who has yet to graduate from Huang Class 7, to fight with you, an Earth Grade expert? Tsk tsk, do you think I'm foolish, or are you the foolish one?"

Wang Zheng couldn't contain his laughter, it was clear from his words that he was elated and he was enjoying this battle. But on the other hand, Heaven wasn't feeling that great. Being made fun of by a junior, this was totally embarrassing.

Well, he did not believe it either. Since Wang Zheng had decided not to take a rest, then no one would rest from now on.

Heaven had his target locked on and he charged forward. The darkness did not have much impact on Heaven, but to Wang Zheng, it had no impact at all. It was different compared to daytime, as Wang Zheng could counterattack while running, and the darts flew towards Heaven consecutively. The darts took on various forms, one moment it was one with wind affinity, if not it would be one with flames. It was extremely disruptive to Heaven's view and he had to do something about it. These darts could cause harm to him, but he was enraged as they kept interrupting him and was seemingly endless. Heaven had regretted picking this location. Just how was it possible for this place to have so many trees for Wang Zheng to make those darts.

But Heaven was definitely not going to let this go so easily. He was controlling his stamina and pace, in hopes of tiring Wang Zheng out. Wang Zheng was a young lad, and Heaven had wanted to see the extent of his stamina.

It was a long time since Heaven was this serious, it seemed like he had returned to his older days.

However, the truth was harsh. Both of them did not rest, and chased around for an entire night. The Titatitan Star took thirty standard hours to orbit around the center of the galaxy, and nighttime was extremely long. The two of them chased for another ten hours, and it was close to twenty hours of non-stop pursuit altogether.

Dawn had broken.

But Wang Zheng was still energetic. On the other hand, Heaven started to show signs of fatigue, but he did not understand Wang Zheng's situation. Wang Zheng was contemplating in his mind that he could not move recklessly, as it would give Heaven an opportunity to attack the moment he did that. He needed to have 100% confidence to do so. Both of them were competing over one's patience, as well as one's cunningness, putting their lives on the line.

And this was a huge risk Wang Zheng was taking, if he had died, what would happen to Yan Xiaosu and the others?

So he had to remain calm and steady, he could do it!

The next day, Wang Zheng was a little more aggressive. Based on his keen observation of Heaven, he had concluded that there was completely no time to rest and decided to shower Heaven with a blast of his darts once again.

This was indeed a smart move for Wang Zheng to keep a safe distance from Heaven, and the accuracy of his darts was really insane. This had left Heaven speechless, had this kid trained with this weapon before? Even if there were no darts coming at him, he had to hide, there were no other options left.

Later on, Heaven was eventually pushed to his wits end. He could only make a shield for himself as his last line of defense, and minimise his energy consumption as much as possible.

But it was impossible for them to not confront each other, as he knew about this little brat's plans. It was the first time he felt so helpless, at such a deserted place. It was too late for him to flee now, as Wang Zheng was following him closely. There were instances where Heaven had intentionally revealed his weak points, pretending to be worn out so that Wang Zheng could attack. But Wang Zheng wasn't fooled by his actions at all, and instead, the darts were coming right at him. Towards the end, he started engaging in a battle of darts with Wang Zheng, but he gave up quickly. Heaven's shooting technique and the accuracy of his darts could not be compared with that of Wang Zheng's. Instead, he was ridiculed by Wang Zheng, and his movements were a little restricted with only one hand.

From the time Heaven entered the Elite Academy, till when he turned to the underworld after leaving due to undisclosed reasons, he had his own ways of doing things and was never this upset.

The final outcome would be his death if he could not win the battle, however this was a battle he could win and yet he failed to do so. What made things worse was the fact that it was all set up by himself, and the results were frustrating.

The second day passed, and the circumstances seemed to have changed. As the second night approaches, Heaven felt threatened. Although he had been in the underworld all these years, he was careful about his own conduct, as he was always putting his life on the line. It was only recently that he had indulged in liquor and tobacco. Initially, he did not feel much of a difference, but when he met a difficult opponent, any signs of weakness would be magnified significantly. And Heaven felt that Wang Zheng had already found out about this.

Breathe!

To make things worse, in the night, such subtle changes in pulse were not undetected by Wang Zheng. Heaven was really getting tired, but this wasn't enough, the real deal was happening tonight.

Wang Zheng had intensified his attacks. The distance between them was gradually decreasing, but Wang Zheng still had no intentions of having a head-on confrontation. Well, Bonehead once said this, once you discover your enemies' weakness, you must bite it immediately and never let go. The moment one lets go, is the moment one dies.

Wang Zheng was attacking Heaven ruthlessly, and Heaven's physical and mental strength was already drastically depleting. Even his Earth Grade Ability X could not be put to use in this situation, and he could not understand why his poison Ability X was not working either. Wang Zheng was also equipped with wind affinity ability, and it was not that easy to suppress someone with the same ability. Comparing in terms of one's physical combat technique, he was probably not on par with his opponent.

If this went on, he would really be in danger.

Someone who was like a poisonous snake and yet so patient, how could he be nurtured and trained from the Elite Academy?

He knew clearly what type of students were enrolled into the Elite Academy. Perhaps there were some that were really good, but it was rare to see someone with such combat qualities.

Chapter 751: Takedown!

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The second night, Heaven did not know whether he should laugh or cry as he had never met such an opponent before. In fact, there were several aspects that he felt that he was lacking compared to Wang Zheng, and he was just like an amateur. Wang Zheng was careful in his planning and execution of tactics, and was full of determination to do well. To him, danger was like a stimulant that pushed him forward, and Heaven, being an Earth Grade expert, had ended up becoming his training partner.

Heaven had realized, Wang Zheng was wearing him out, but he could not do much about it. If he had both hands with him, he would stand a chance. But this was not the case. With only one hand, especially in the forest, there were significant limitations to his movements. On a typical day, he didn't felt so terrible, but as his stamina had gradually depleted, the problem became more serious than before.

Should he escape?

This thought had occurred to Heaven, and he could only laugh. He had already escaped once, and one could not be escaping all his life. And hence this time, he wasn't intending to run away.

Since there was no way he could avoid this, the only solution was to fight till the end!

Regarding one's death, Heaven wasn't that torn about it anymore. Putting aside all these complex thoughts and feelings, the stress and pressure of an Earth Grade expert was unleashed to its fullest. Heaven was using his over twenty years of combat experience to go up against Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng was excited. He didn't need someone who was useless. The more powerful his opponent was, the more powerful he would become. In the darkness, Wang Zheng's eyes shone brightly along with a horrifying vibe. Deep inside his body was a ferocious beast, and it would be unleashed when necessary.

A strong opponent could give him immense satisfaction, and if Heaven could not even meet this standard, Wang Zheng would be greatly disappointed.

Heaven did not treat Wang Zheng as someone who was weaker than him, instead as someone whose existence was even more terrifying.

Under the moonlight, the figure at the tree top was full of confidence. Heaven was using all his means in his pursuit. He, whom was in full force, had shown his true capabilities and there were several instances whereby Wang Zheng was nearly hit by Heaven's attacks.

Heaven was endangering his life, it was completely different from earlier on when he seemed to have the upper hand against Wang Zheng.

The one chasing might not necessarily be the hunter.

The second night passed.

At the Governor's Office, as time passed by, the masses were getting a little anxious. How could it be that there were no updates about their battle at this point of time? The long wait was tormenting.

Mu Sen and Lan Ling had other tasks to complete, they had to come out. Ai Xiaolu went to find Uncle Luo, but she also knew that it would be too late even if she went now, as they all had no idea where Wang Zheng was.

"Uncle Luo, is the information from the Family reliable?" Ai Xiaolu asked.

Luo Quan laughed and said, "Well, usually there will be no mistakes. Heaven's, birth name Tang Tianzhe. He was enrolled into the Elite Academy, and was one of the well-known and popular figures in school. His wood element of the Five Minor Elements were outstanding. When he was in Xuan Class 1, he was selected to join the actual battle in the deep abyss, notably one of the main figures that the Academy was nurturing. But there was an accident in the deep abyss, where twenty eight of their warriors had lost their lives. To top it off, two of them who perished were his classmates. The military court had sentenced him to twenty years imprisonment, but he had escaped while on escort, and later became the professional killer Heaven.

Ai Xiaolu frowned, "And so they let someone like him go just like that?"

Luo Quan laughed, "Well, there was something strange about it. From our investigations, there was another version of the incident, but of course, there was no physical evidence provided to substantiate it. It was actually an error made by a commander but the commander had a strong background and hence he could not take responsibility for such a fatal error. Thus, they needed a scapegoat as a cover up."

And what happened next needed no elaboration. The sole survivor, Tang Tianzhe, did not have any background. Although he was outstanding in terms of his capabilities, but in the Elite Academy it wouldn't make much of a difference with his absence. Of course, although they had passed a sentence of twenty years, they were intending to release him after seven or eight years. But who would have known that he would escape? And he progressed to Earth Grade to everyone's surprise.

Snow Li and the others were not concerned about this, "Uncle Luo, so what you're trying to say is that, Heaven did not kill Wang Zheng?"

Luo Quan shook his head. Evidently, Snow Li was too naive. To them, life and death was not their utmost concern, and killing was not the main focus of their battle.

"What I'm saying is that, you all might have belittled Wang Zheng. If Heaven's experience is real, and him calling Wang Zheng out is not a mission, then it must be for some other reasons. In my opinion, Wang Zheng might have a chance of winning."

Luo Quan said, but actually he was just trying to comfort Ai Xiaolu. The girls were feeling so torn, but there was nothing they could do about it. Well, youngsters like them still had plenty to see and experience for themselves.

In the forest, Wang Zheng and Heaven had already entered their third day of battle. The two of them finally had a few instances where they exchanged moves in close proximity, and both of them got injured as well. But in reality, Wang Zheng had wanted to intensify the attacks even more. He could clearly feel that Heaven, although injured, still had the upper hand of the current situation. Once Wang Zheng had approached him, his full-scale attack was even more horrifying, and each of his moves were deadly.

But Wang Zheng could feel that Heaven's stamina and other aspects were weakening as time passed by. And with the help of Primordial Regression Technique, Wang Zheng was able to maintain his current state reasonably well. As for his willpower and determination, as he had had it worse when tortured by Bonehead, this was nothing compared to it.

Similarly, Heaven had a different feeling. After several exchanges, he had realized that Wang Zheng was like a machine that did not know what was fatigue. Putting aside the fact that his physical fitness was still going strong , he had shown no signs of fatigue in his will and determination. This was evident from the opponent's consistent attacks and defence, it was all carried out in an orderly fashion.

Reminiscing the time when he had fled from his imprisonment sentence, he had went through a dark period whilst constantly on the run for over two months. The pain and hardship was something that he had never thought of, and he thought that by having such an experience, he would not have any flaws. But he was wrong. The moment he stood in comparison to Wang Zheng, it seemed like the one in front of him was even more invincible. Heaven was getting a little curious about this young lad, just how did he train to become what he was today.

The third night, the roles had changed and Heaven had no choice but to take on the role of the defender. This was because he had understood, Wang Zheng was completely unaffected even in the night, and it was feared that he might have some form of night vision ability. And hence, Wang Zheng became the hunter, and Heaven became the prey.

Wang Zheng had launched a series of attacks consecutively. And throughout the night, he had maintained a high intensity level of harassment attacks. It was fierce, and non-stop, but Wang Zheng did not make use of his advantage to launch a full-scale attack.

All the way till daybreak.

This was the fourth day of their battle, and as the sunlight shone on the forest, Heaven knew, his doomsday had come.

There were many ways to kill someone. One way was to strike a deadly blow, while another possible way was to torture. And that was the most terrifying method. During the three days of confrontation with Wang Zheng, Heaven had already figured it out that he had lost completely. The opponent had already seen through him, and he had made a mistake from the start. For someone like Wang Zheng who had the strength of the Xuan Grade dare to come forth, it meant that he was already more than prepared to have a showdown with Heaven.

With the relapse of Heaven's old injury on his hand, his stamina was depleting even more quickly. Even if he was from the Earth Grade, he was a human being after all. One would feel pain when he is injured, and Heaven knew that his body was already burning, and he could not keep up with the opponent's movements.

The moment the sunlight shone, a shadow appeared suddenly. And Heaven realized that he had not reacted to it, and his body could not keep up with his cognitive movements anymore.

It had all come to an end.

Rumble…..

His whole body shook, and it was the same feeling that he had experienced before. That time, he looked at his comrades, watching them collapse in front of his eyes one after another. Although they had began with steady movements and tactics, they ended up falling into the Zerg's trap. Actually he should have fought till death together with them, but he escaped.

If one could turn back time, Heaven would rather die at the deep abyss, for he would not be left alone with the company of his comrades, but now…

Ye Zisu did not sleep for the whole night, and Yan Xiaosu made some snacks, "Hey, you should eat a little. If my big boss comes back and realizes that you've fallen ill, he'll definitely come after me."

Zisu shook her head, "I have no appetite. It's been four days already, what should we do?"

Yan Xiaosu sighed, "No news mean good news. I think, if the killer had succeeded, it would not be so quiet now. Mu Sen has already sent a search team out, but we only have an estimate geographical location of Wang Zheng, hence it would be difficult to locate him."

Ye Zisu smiled bitterly, 'Sometimes I wonder, what's the point of fighting so hard?"

Yan Xiaosu laughed, "Ideals, fantasy, or perhaps just unwilling to be alone. But this is exactly what me and big boss want to achieve. If I die in Titatitan Star, I would be extremely contented. In one's lifetime, if one does not accomplish something, there would be no difference whether he is alive or dead. But don't worry, based on my understanding of Wang Zheng, there is a high chance of him winning. It is just that the process would be a challenging one, considering the opponent is relatively strong."

Ye Zisu nodded her head, and barely ate a little. Lie Xin and Achilles weren't that sentimental, but they were rather jealous. This was because in this generation, there would not be such feelings and relationships that exist around them. If they died one day, would there be anyone who would be worried for them?

Achilles started to ponder, and it seemed like there was no one. Like Lie Xin, if Lie Guang had died, would others care about her?

At this point, the door swung open and Lan Ling rushed in, "Found, found!!!"

"Found? What???" Yan Xiaosu was tensed up, "You mean, Wang Zheng has been found?"

"Yes, the search team managed to get hold of them. Heaven has been dealt with, and Wang Zheng is fine!!!" Lan Ling exclaimed excitedly like a little girl, jumping around the place.

Everyone else started asking more questions, while Lie Xin and the others looked at one another. Heaven had been dealt with but Wang Zheng only suffered minor injuries?

How could this be?

Snow Li and the other girls were happy to hear about this news and clapped their hands, "So where is Wang Zheng?"

"He's on his way back, probably it will take him some time. The information from the frontline can't be wrong, I guess we can relax and take it easy now!"

Luo Quan was stunned for words, how was this even possible…..

Heaven was an Earth Grade killer, and he was rather well-known in the Darkness World. Besides, he was not an A Grade fugitive of the Milky Way Alliance for nothing, and yet he could be dealt with so easily?

Earlier on, he had looked up Wang Zheng who was the captain of the Solar System Federation IG. This was nothing, but he led the Federation's team to clinch the second place, and this was quite an amazing feat. Later on, Wang Zheng was enrolled into the Elite Academy, being a student from the Huang Grade, he managed to clinch a division champion title in the Elite competition.

But despite all his achievements, he managed to defeat an expert from the Earth Grade. Even if he had gotten injured, it would be difficult to believe it either.

All along, Ai Xiaolu's foresights were praised highly by the family. And for her to pin high hopes on someone like Wang Zheng, she definitely had her reasons.

Nonetheless, this was something worth celebrating.

Chapter 752: The Realization

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The dark clouds that loomed over the skies of Titatitan Star had finally disappeared. An Earth Grade killer was killed just like that, perhaps it also served as a deterrence for those with ill intentions.

Besides, Heaven had wood Ability X, and others would not be able to bring into full play if they had ever came to Titatitan Star.

Even Luo Quan was curious, how did Wang Zheng defeat an Earth Grade killer, and the opponent wasn't even able to escape.

This was incredible.

Earth, where Fatty Luo had spent his holidays, wasn't that sluggish as what some people had imagined it to be.

Luo Fei did not lag behind others during normal training sessions. It was just that he was lazy to move whenever the rest were playing or enjoying life. And that was how he was perceived as being lazy, even when he was practicing.

The imaginary input of human beings, was often more powerful than one's reality.

Of course, Lear's supervision was indeed useful. This time, when Lear had decided to return to Earth, it had caught Luo Fei by surprise and he did not dare to slack off. He was not afraid of Lear's scolding but Lear being indifferent, the mental stress that he had to bear was terrifying.

Quoting the words from a death row inmate in a blood research lab. Cover one's eyes and tell him that the water dripping around him is actually his blood. As a result, after some time, the death row inmate had really passed on, and the symptoms were similar to that of excessive blood loss.

Once Lear had turned over, it didn't give Luo Fei stress, but instead a greater sense of urgency.

Roar!

Early morning, on the shores of Lake Seine, Luo Fei bolted like a bullet train. His speed was so fast that the skirt of a beautiful young blonde lady who was walking her dog went flying up, and it caused a huge uproar.

Luo Fei had very much wanted to apologise and greet the young lady, because for a beautiful lady like her to walk her dog this early, it went to show that she was extremely kind-hearted and caring!

But such thoughts merely flashed through his mind, training was more important at this point. Pushing his body to the limits, before circulating the Ares Art, training and perfecting his techniques to a state whereby it was a born ability akin to breathing. This was the method that Luo Fei had thought of, and it seemed like it was quite suitable. Typically, when one reached his limits, the body would experience a longer period of fatigue, but it didn't occur to him even up till now. Or perhaps, the Ares Art had enhanced his recovery abilities, shortening his fatigue period and hence he did not feel it that significantly.

The morning training continued, and until he could not run anymore, Luo Fei then sat on a bench along the lake. Although his posture was sluggish, he was still circulating the Ares Art within his body.

The constant circulation of the technique, had brought about a sense of having great power. This was not a good feeling, instead it was rather contradicting. It was clear that the body was already drained out, and yet the brain still had the idea that the body had explosive power.

But Luo Fei was used to it, with every breath, he followed the formulas strictly, reciting the phrases of the Ares Art softly in his throat.

Gradually, his breathing became more stable and smooth…

"Brother, brother! I just knew you would be here again!"

Right at this moment, a pleasant voice could be heard.

Luo Fei immediately stood up, and he could feel that his muscles, which were strained to its limits, were trembling slightly. He was restless, but still had a wide smile on his face while watching two young girls walking towards him.

"Why did you two come again? I have already told you all before, sleeping is important for girls. Getting up late is better than getting up early, this is bad for your skin." Luo Fei was worrying for the two girls as he touched their tiny heads.

Luo Qin and Luo Lian stuck out their tongues, "Bleh, I'm not listening to what you have to say, brother! I don't want to be a lazy fellow."

Luo Fei laughed, with a big brother like him around, there was no way the two girls could be hardworking. They had to be lazy, extremely lazy in fact, so that they could marry a nice guy in the future, and not have to worry for the rest of their lives.

Luo Qin, who was one year older than Luo Lian, blinked her eyes and looked at Luo Fei. He was trembling, and her heart was aching for her older brother, "Brother, are you alright? Quick, sit down over here."

"He he, I'm fine. Your big brother is strong and fit, just look at these bulging muscles!"

The two girls let out a big laugh, Fatty Luo was full of fats and nothing else, how could he have muscles.

Luo Qin nodded her head. Coming from a poor family, they had to grow up quickly and become independent. Although their big brother had been a wonderful protector for them all these while, but whatever that they should have known, they knew. Compared to being protected, what they wished for was to lighten some load off their brother's shoulders.

Luo Fei showed a bright smile, and rubbed his sisters' heads with both hands. They were just children who were daring to do great mischief. Luo Fei assured his sisters, "Don't worry about me, I'm good."

But with his current state, it was difficult for him to convince his sisters who were quick-witted. Luo Fei did a little stretch, but he still felt a little weak. Well, he had no choice but to pull himself together in front of his sisters, "If you don't believe me, just watch me." And then, he gave a flying kick towards the big tree at the side.

For his sisters, Luo Fei had went all out. He had wanted to make the tree sway vigorously, to make the girls happy. Back in the days when they were starving, he did this a couple of times as well, just so that his younger siblings would be convinced to take his share of the bread for their own consumption.

However…

Clink wonk clank clank…..

The sycamore tree which was as thick as a large bowl started producing a series of weird sounds. And then, it broke into two parts and fell towards the ground…..

This was not the end. A loud rumbling sound could be heard. Together with the tree branches, the tree bark crashed on a vending machine nearby and resulted in another loud band. The vending machine exploded, and the food that was stored inside the machine was strewn all over the floor.

Luo Fei was stunned, looking at the aftermath of his actions.

Luo Qin and Luo Lian had also widened their eyes in amazement.

Luo Lian clapped her hands and said: "Our brother is so powerful."

Luo Qin was more sensible, she touched her forehead in awe and said, "Bravo, my brother!"

With one sister on each hand, Luo Fei lifted his sisters and ran forward. Crap, this was too much of a pretense.

His return to Earth was for his family, and not to enjoy and have fun. Luo Fei's situation was not good. An accident had resulted in his father suffering from paraplegia, and his mother had passed on, leaving behind his two beloved sisters. All these years, Lear was the one taking care of them. The hefty medical fees, and funds for the sisters' education, Lear had covered it all. Although he had never said a word about it, Luo Fei knew, and appreciated his help greatly.

"Dad, it's time to clean your body." Luo Fei said as he helped to clean his father slowly and carefully. Although his father was in a high class ward, but as a son, Luo Fei wasn't around most of the time. Hence, whenever he was around he would do his best to take care of his father.

Elder Luo let out a sigh, "Little Fei, we are holding you back."

"Dad, as what you've said previously, we're a family. And I'm the eldest brother, I should be doing all these." Luo Fei smiled.

"Our family, owes Mr. Lear too much. Your good-for-nothing younger brother has found a rather decent job,…. Oh right, I haven't got the opportunity to tell you this. In a few months time, Luo Qin and Luo Lian would be going to study at the

Cyber Women Missionary School. The school fees and allowance had already been paid for by Mr. Lear. Also, I heard that girls who graduate from that school will do well in the future. Sigh, this favour, I really have no idea how to repay it. Little Fei, promise me that you'll work diligently under Mr.Lear. I'll definitely repay his kindness in my next life."

As Elder Luo spoke, his eyes turned red. That accident was a huge blow to him and the family, and he had once thought that his world had collapsed. He did not expect to meet someone like Lear. Without Lear's support, the Luo family really did not know how to carry on with their lives.

While others might have said that Luo Fei was just like Lear's dog, this wasn't true. What he owed Lear, was not his own life.

But the fate and the future of his family.

His short return to Earth for the holidays was fulfilling, but it was time to get back to school. He had to face everything that was coming at him, but he would face them cheerfully as long as his family were living happily. Towards Lear, he was immensely grateful for all that he had done.

Over at the Titatitan Star, it was calm and peaceful. The demise of the killer was a perfect ending for the entire incident, and at the same time it had also served as a deterrence for those who were onlooking. Titatitan Star was not a place for such people.

Of course, Wang Zheng did not expose himself. And Mu Sen knew clearly that if this was the case, they had to keep their relationship with Wang Zheng under even tighter wraps. After all, Wang Zheng was still in the early stages of development.

Ai Xiaolu and the rest had begun their full-scale talks, as they could not have possibly come to Titatitan Star for nothing. This time round, the scale was significantly different. With the addition of Ai Xiaolu, coupled with the efforts of Jasper and the others, Little Lucky Star was set to make a huge progress on the Titatitan Star.

The follow-up of the company's project had no direct relation with Wang Zheng. All he did was to guide Rara Durai and the others along, and their selection was progressing smoothly. In addition, this incident had served as a reminder to the proud giants that humans are not that weak and frail. At the same time, the design of the armour had to be enhanced. The entire Governor's Office started to operate efficiently, it seemed like the counterattack this time round had given a huge blow to those with ill-intentions.

At this point in time, Wang Zheng stood silently before a recovery capsule, and inside it was Heaven who had supposedly died.

Heaven had just completed a surgery on his arm, it was a little late, and hence the recovery period was long. And even if he had recovered, it would be shorter than what it had used to be. Well, this was inevitable, as he did not seek proper treatment in time.

Regarding the final blow, Wang Zheng did not kill Heaven, he had only knocked him out of consciousness.

Heaven opened his eyes. Although he could not speak, one was still able to communicate with him through reading his lips.

"Why didn't you kill me?"

It was not just Heaven who was puzzled, even Lan Ling and the others were shocked. It was a terrible nightmare to let such a dangerous person live instead of killing him. One must know that even the prison could not keep such a monster, at least there was no such condition in the Titatitan Star.

But Wang Zheng did not, and especially after learning about the details from Ai Xiaolu, he was even more certain of his own thoughts.

All along, Wang Zheng did not feel that Heaven was a killer. Instead it was more of a feeling of repression and helplessness. Besides, Heaven did not target Yan Xiaosu and the rest, and with this, Wang Zheng felt that there was some leeway.

Honestly speaking, he also felt that Titatitan Star was too weak as there was no master in command. What if another Earth Grade killer appeared?

He could not stay here forever. And to tell the truth, he won this time on the basis of various conditions. It was because Heaven had given himself too many constraints, if not, why did he put in so much effort.

For someone who had restricted himself greatly, he was definitely not suitable to be a killer.

"Brother Heaven, as far as I know, you're listed as a wanted man by the Underworld and they're also coming for you. Looks like the being a killer isn't going to work for you anymore. Anyways, to the people outside, you're already dead. Here on Titatitan Star, there are so many things that need to be done, and we need an expert like you to be in command. Are you interested in staying on? Of course, we'll not stop you if you intend to leave, but I feel that you share an affinity with the Titatitan Star. It would really suit your wood element Ability X."

Wang Zheng smiled, and from his eyes you could tell that it was spoken from his heart and had no resentments.

"Why?" Heaven asked.
