Chapter 577: Untitled

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Wang Zheng had already gone over to help Zhang Shan up. He didn't know what kind of drug this brat had taken to be so excited.

"The two of you must be freshmen. Are there any things that you need help with?"

The seemingly heavily injured Zhang Shan suddenly stood up. Who would be the owner of this touching voice?

Wang Zheng didn't know what to do about it. Could it be that this brat was really in heat? Why did he have such a big reaction when he heard a woman's voice?

However, Wang Zheng was also shocked when he turned around. He had seen quite a number of beautiful women and yet he was seemingly in a trance for a while when he saw the girl in front of him.

One of the girls seemed to be used to others being shocked by her friend's looks, and she smiled gently. The other girl beside her was smirking. "What are you looking at? I will gouge out your eyes if you continue to stare!"

Wang Zheng smiled and replied, "Student, you don't have to be so fierce. We are freshmen and aren't too familiar with the way to operate the flying devices."

The other girl was definitely not ugly and was very pleasing to the eyes. However, when she was compared to the girl in cream-coloured clothes, there was truly quite a huge difference.

"Fellow student, how should I address you? I'm Zhang Shan, and soon enough, the whole school will know my name." Zhang Shan was as excited as though he had been injected with some stimulating tonics.

The girl in cream-coloured clothes had not even said a word when the other girl beside her was acting like a female chicken protecting her chicks. "Hmph! Just another nobody. Let's go, Mo Ling. There are perverts everywhere!"

Mo Ling shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. My friend didn't mean any harm. The truth is that we are also freshmen."

"Wah, as I said, this is really fate. Student Mo Ling, don't you feel that this was fate? When I was in the sky just now, I could feel a strange summon tugging at me, and that was why I fell down," said Zhang Shan sincerely.

Although it was obvious that Zhang Shan was talking nonsense, he was able to say it with such seriousness. This caused the two girls to not be able to hold back, and they laughed.

"Let's get to know each other again another time. I'm Mo Ling and I'm from the Huang-1 class. This is my good friend, Yan Ge. She is also from the Huang-1 class," said Mo Ling

"I'm Zhang Shan and I'm from Earth. I'm in the Huang-7 class. As for him, he is just a passerby," said Zhang Shan as he waved his hands.

Yan Ge clearly didn't believe him. "How could he be a passerby? Both of you clearly know each other. Is there anything about him that can't be known by others? It is surprising for one that is in the Huang-7 class to claim that he is going to be known throughout the world. It seems that you aren't afraid of embarrassing yourself."

Zhang Shan thumped his chest proudly and replied, "What's so bad about being in the Huang-7 class? There will be a day when everyone will know that the Huang-7 class can rule this place too!"

Yan Ge was intending to be sarcastic, but Zhang Shan had made it such that it seemed like it was only natural.

"Xiao Ge, the Huang-7 class is known to be a special class. Moreover, everyone here are also freshmen. The order of the classes is simply a designation."

"Hey, what is your name?" asked Yan Ge as she looked at Wang Zheng. This brat was very composed and seemed like a pro.

Wang Zheng rubbed his nose. It seemed that the other party's tone wasn't friendly even though he had barely said anything.

Zhang Shan coughed a few times and said, "This is my cousin. He isn't good in talking and is very shy. I am the more enthusiastic one of us. Since everyone is freshmen, if you all ever encounter any problems, feel free to look for me!"

"Can't you be a bit less shameless? Although we are all still freshmen, we have been here for four months. You are still new and weak. Since you have come here, you should be learning and should aim to be better each day. Stop thinking of courting the girls!"

After Yan Ge finished her sentence, she pulled Mo Ling away. There were too many perverts in this school. Moreover, they were all extremely narcissistic and were in heat. In addition, there weren't many with any real skills.

Mo Ling took a look at Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng smiled. This girl was truly beautiful.

Mo Ling turned her head back immediately. She didn't know why her heart had suddenly started racing and her face had turned red.

After walking for some distance, Yan Ge looked at Mo Ling and said, "Ah, Ling, could it be that you are in heat as well?"

"What?"

"Your heart was beating faster just now. Don't tell me that you are interested in that brat. The level of the people in Huang-7 aren't deserving of you."

"What are you saying, Xiao Ge? It was just a coincidental encounter. It isn't as you're making it out to be."

"That would be the best. That reticent brat seemed to have some connections," said Yan Ge.

"Oh?"

"Although he might look tepid, did you notice his eyes? His eyes seemed to be telling others that there is no one like him in the world. He is just another arrogant brat!"

"You… stop having a sharp tongue. You will scare all the guys away!"

"Che, so what if I scare them away? I have you anyway." As she finished her sentence, she tickled Mo Ling. The two girls ran away while playing.

Zhang Shan, who was a distance away, looked up to the heavens and sighed deeply. "That was indeed heavenly!"

Wang Zheng patted on Zhang Shan's shoulder and said, "Brother, your brother here will support you when you court girls. However, you have to shoulder the responsibilities if you get into trouble."

"Che, when have I ever been afraid? Since I came to this place, I must have a spectacular time here. Getting into trouble is a must. What would I be afraid of? With you around, could you just leave me in the lurch?" said Zhang Shan with a natural look. "What are brothers for? Brother Wang is here to pick up the tab when I court the girls!"

Wang Zheng was dumbfounded. How could this brat say such stuff? "Cough cough. Where have you been interning over the past few months?"

Zhang Shan smiled. "Hehe, it's not possible to be purely innocent in the military. Haven't you heard of the various inappropriate jokes before? Since a long time ago, those that slept together, masturbated together, and went to prostitutes together had the strongest relationship. We have already progressed to the second base. It would be complete if we finished the third base."

Bang…

Zhang Shan covered his head and squatted on the floor. "Oh, d*mn, you can't be beating people up when you can't win an argument. You should be winning people over with your virtue!"

"What I meant was to skip the nonsense and get to the point. I will give you just this one opportunity!"

How could Wang Zheng not know about Zhang Shan's personality? This brat was great at boasting, so great that he could win an argument purely by boasting over everyone else.

"All freshmen are to report to the Azure Dragon Hall now!"

At this moment, a school notice sounded out from Wang Zheng's and Zhang Shan's Skylinks.

Both of them were a little surprised. "Let's go."

"Bring along the pot?" asked Zhang Shan.

"Yeah, let's bring it along to save us an additional trip later."

By the time Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan arrived, countless students had already arrived one after another. The so-called Freshmen gathering included more than just Zhang Shan's and Wang Zheng's batch. Anyone who had enrolled within the last six months were all considered to be freshmen.

"Damn, Lear and Fatty are here too." Zhang Shan pouted. Lear wasn't that eye-catching and yet Zhang Shan spotted him with just a glance.

Obviously, Wang Zheng had seen them too. Lear felt the gaze and turned around. When he saw Wang Zheng, he revealed a smile but did not come over.

"Oh, damn. That person has a really fake smile."

"It's his ability to be able to smile. We aren't in a rush. We will have time in the future," said Wang Zheng.

Lie Xin and Lie Guang had arrived too. Although they weren't together, at least there weren't any conflicts. Both of them had walked over. Wang Zheng did not see Achilles around. However with Achilles' situation, it wouldn't be that he couldn't make the cut.

After IG had ended, everyone returned to the own countries and immediately discovered numerous changes. The changes were that everyone had different standings now. When facing external parties, they were under the name of Solar System Federation. However there was still competition internally. If it wasn't because of that incident in Aslan, Wang Zheng would definitely have been the clear leader.

"Which classes are you all in?" Lie Guang laughed. "Zhang Shan, it seems that we will have time to hang out."

"I have heard that you had much experience in courting girls; we could exchange views!" Zhang Shan was exhilarated. Compared to the boring Wang Zeng, Lie Guang was definitely a grandmaster courting expert.

"Hehe, as long as I lay my eyes on a girl, she will not be able to escape! Ouch!"

Lie Guang held on to his leg and was jumping around. Lie Xin caressed Lie Guang's head and said, "Little Guang Zi, did you forget that I was around?"

"Wang Zheng, you better not slack off. Although you had some lead over us in the IG, the final outcome is still unknown in this place." Lie Xin took the initiative and made a declaration of war.

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded his head. Lie Xin frowned and continued, "Why does it seem that you aren't very serious about this?"

Wang Zheng immediately shook his head and replied, "Nope, I'm very serious about it!"

Zhang Shan and Lie Guang looked at each other and smiled. However, they soon turned into stone. "Oh, d*mn, that was of the highest quality!"

"I already had my eyes on her. You better not compete with me," Zhang Shan said immediately. They were Mo Ling and Yan Ge, who Zhang Shan had met earlier.

"Che, who would be giving chances when courting girls? That would be meaningless. Whoever is more capable will get her."

"D*mn, I'm not afraid of you!" Zhang Shan's charisma as a man was beyond doubt.

When Mo Ling appeared, everyone's attention had clearly fallen onto her. However, Mo Ling did not wait at the bottom of the stage but went up onto the stage directly.

"Eh, why had she gone up on stage?"

"You all are truly ill-informed. Mo Ling is the class monitor of Huang-1 and a member of the student council. Her identity is different from ours." Eisen's voice sounded.

"Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan, which classes were you all assigned to?

Among all the people, Eisen and his group were closer to Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan.

"Huang-7. What about you guys?"

"We are in Huang-5."

Lie Xin and Lie Guang were shocked. "How could it be? Even I am in Huang-6, and Lie Xin was even placed into Huang-3."

"The class allocation when one just enrolls isn't representative of anything. Based on future results, one could be assigned to another class," said Lia. "Moreover, Huang-7 is known to be a class full of uncertainties. This means that Zhang Shan and Wang Zheng have a lot of potential."

Wang Zheng forced a smile and replied, "No matter what it is, it sure sounds very comforting."

"Uncertain? It just means that you could be eliminated any time. What's the use of making it sound so nice?"

A few people walked over and continued, "Brat, close your dog eyes. If you stare at our class monitor again, I will definitely let you understand what it means by neither living nor dying!"

After finishing, they walked towards the front slowly.

People from the Huang-1 class were rather arrogant, and the other people moved aside for them. As the cream of the crop amongst the Huang classes, the people of Huang-1 would be at the forefront no matter what the event was. This was because only weaklings would be eating the ashes behind other butts.

Both Zhang Shan and Lie Xin were hot tempered. Just when they were preparing to drag those who were acting cool back, Mo Ling shouted for silence from the stage.

A senior with a rather strong build walked out wearing sunglasses. He shouted," Silence!"

The shout was like a bomb exploding in the crowd and everyone could hear buzzing sounds in their ears. Nonetheless, everyone had quietened down.

After waiting for a while, a senior wearing a black uniform swept across the crowd. There was a form of pressure engulfing the entire hall and it made others felt a bit breathless.

Was this a show of power towards the freshmen?

"First, I want to welcome the freshmen just joining Elite Academy X on behalf of the student council. This means that you all have become qualified human beings!"

Hu Ba said. He was fond of such occasion and especially fond of seeing the disdainful and fearful looks of these self-righteous rookies.

"The second thing that I want to tell everyone is to not be self-righteous just because you have entered the Academy. You are all still a bunch of nothings!"

Instantly, the entire crowd began to seethe. Some of them seemed like they couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to go up on stage to teach Hu Ba a lesson. However, the people of the Huang-1 class were rather composed and seemed to not have heard anything.

Chapter 578: Awesomely Arrogant

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"What's the matter? Is there anyone who is unhappy? I am here right now. I will give my position in Xuan-1 class and student council to whoever can receive three strikes from me. How about it?"

Instantly, the whole crowd was silent again. If he was from the Xuan-1 class, his ability would clearly be at the peak of C-rank or early stages of B-rank. Freshmen were only at the early stages of C-rank. This type of difference was obvious. Moreover, the other party would likely have a better understanding of their abilities than freshmen. Although they were angry about it, strength was the hardest truth.

Hu Ba was satisfied with the current situation. He was fond of teasing these rookies who thought highly of themselves. He felt very comfortable about the effects and specially took a glance at Mo Ling, who was beside him. It was a pity that he couldn't go after such a beautiful woman, and he did not dare to either. However, this had not stopped him from showing off a little and putting on airs. She might even throw herself into his arms of her own accord.

Just when Hu Ba was prepared to continue giving a lecture, the door of the hall was thrown open.

Hu Ba's expression immediately froze. He shouted, "Which class are you from? Don't you have any concept about time or respect?"

Everyone's attention was on that student. From his uniform, it was clear that he was also a freshman. However, he held no regard for the countless gazes on him and was searching for someone in the crowd.

"Who is this brat? He is so arrogant!"

"I have no idea. He is wearing the uniform from the White Tiger region and is likely from there. Why has he run to this place?"

"Who knows? However, Hu Ba will not let him off." Some students, who were around for a few months, already knew how overbearing this senior from the student council was. He was just like his name suggested.

The student council was responsible for the daily matters of Elite Academy X. The instructors would only be involved in more important matters. In Elite Academy, strength commanded respect. Looking for instructors was often a display of weakness. There were also strict regulations about the classification system.

In simple terms, it would mean that everyone had to follow the rules. It was only so that there wouldn't be chaos.

The freshman in front of them was definitely arrogant to a level. Even those with talents wouldn't go against the "rules" directly.

Hu Ba's face turned deathly pale. There were over 10 freshmen attending the "Freshmen Admonishment" for the first time. He had wanted to deal them a head-on blow at the first encounter to destroy their confidence from the start. There was nothing wrong with it. This was because it was the same every year. It was also the case when he was a freshman.

Initially, he had thought that there wouldn't be any freshmen who would not be convinced by him in this Academy and the outcome was that everyone was very quiet. This had made Hu Ba feel really comfortable. He was also responsible for the discipline of the freshmen. However, a freshman from the other regions had come.

No matter which region it was, they had to follow the rules of the region in that territory.

Hu Ba charged to the front of the intruder almost instantly. He wanted to punish the intruder as an example for others!

However, just when he was about to reach the front, Hu Ba had stopped abruptly and had an embarrassed look on his face. He looked extremely stunned.

Hu Ba clenched his fists tightly and had a very tangled look. As for the freshman, he had not even taken a look at Hu Ba and was still looking for someone.

"Who is that guy?"

"I have no idea. Senior Hu Ba is acting weirdly."

"The guy who wasn't convinced in the last admonishment had stayed in the hospital for an entire month."

One had to be taught the rules. One could be free and be laid back in the outside world. However, if one was here, no matter which planet one was from or what identity they possessed, even a prince or princess had to follow the rules of Elite Academy. Strength talked in this place and the student council represented the strongest strength and power.

Disregarding Hu Ba was still secondary. This freshman was simply disregarding the student council.

"Damn, he seems to be Olivios from Arbiter."

"It really is him. Damn. What does this malignant star want in this place?"

Instantly, the hall was filled with whispers and mumblings. There was no wonder Hu Ba was so scared that he had not made a move. Although he was from Xuan-1, he might still not be a match for Olivios.

Few freshmen had their reputation spread throughout Elite Academy when they just arrived like him. It wasn't only in the White Tiger region. Other regions had all heard of his big name.

The championship title of the IG didn't matter much. There wasn't a lack of these people in this place. It was just that he had sent a few seniors to the hospital on his way to Elite Academy X. The student council had taken the initiative to look for him when he arrived in the Academy. However, four of them were sent to the hospital, with one of the almost being sent to the mortuary. Just when everyone thought that the student council would get into a full on fight, they ceased all actions suddenly and the school had not made any responses regarding it. This had allowed Olivios to rise to fame and subtly become the No 1 freshmen.

It was the first and only time a person dared to do this when he had just arrived at Elite Academy. Rumours had it that no one no longer dared to mess with him in the White Tiger region. The student council and the alumni club of Arbiter would choose to make a detour when they saw him. The people of Arbiter were known to be strong and tyrannical with their alumni club being even fiercer. As long as you were from Arbiter, you would be recruited in regardless of your intention. However, no one dared to mess with him after the first person who contacted him was sent into the hospital.

He was definitely a character that acted differently from others. Hu Ba didn't dare to make his move. If he didn't make his move, Olivios would also not take the initiative to retaliate. However, if he had struck, Olivios would definitely go for the kill without a reason.

Obviously, the probability of killing him wasn't high. However, the feeling of being half dead would be worse. Moreover, Olivios' ruthlessness was beyond one's imagination.

Hu Ba also felt that he was a little disgraceful and couldn't help but ask, "Olivios, have you walked into the wrong place? This is the Azure Dragon Region." Although Hu Ba's voice was loud when calling out Olivios' name, he got softer as he spoke. There were no other ways as Olivios was too infamous.

"Damn, does this guy have to be so arrogant? Didn't everyone say that there were a lot of pros in this place? Why isn't there anyone teaching him a lesson?" Zhang Shan was a little unhappy. This was a classic case of bullying the weak but being afraid of the strong.

"Shush! Don't speak so casually. This person killed over a thousand people when he was in Arbiter and is already numb to killing. Do you think that he would care about this place?" Lia couldn't help but step on Zhang Shan's leg.

"Student Olivios, we are having a ceremony for the freshmen. Please do not disrupt our usual order!" No one had expected Mo Ling to be not afraid of Olivios, and she had even stood in front of everyone while speaking.

Everyone was breaking into a sweat with fright for Mo Ling. Mo Ling could definitely be considered to be the No. 1 beauty among the freshmen. Humans had always been visual animals. No one had asked about how Mo Ling was able to enter the student council as a freshman. Under normal circumstances, students in the student council were always seniors or extraordinary freshmen. However, extraordinary freshmen would only qualify after learning for 6 months or more.

Olivios took a slight look at Mo Ling. Mo Ling's beauty had no value in the eyes of Olivios. It was just that the determination in her eyes was something that Olivios had respected. "I'm looking for someone."

Mo Ling frowned. Although he had said he was looking for someone, why had he come to this place to look for the person? Nonetheless Mo Ling also understand that they were in Elite Academy. Olivios had not broken any school rules. There were only hidden rules and those required strength to protect. Olivios being willing to answer her was already showing her due respect.

"I found him." Olivios went past Mo Ling instantly. At the same instance, Mo Ling's hair flew up. She had not even reacted to it when the person in front of her had disappeared.

When Olivios had walked to the front of them, Lia and the rest could already feel difficulties in breathing. This was because they were all Ability X users. With their more acute sixth sense, they could feel how terrifying this same-aged person was. It was as though he was a terrifying devil in flesh.

Zhang Shan was clenching his fist tightly. "Olivios, what do you want?"

Zhang Shan's words had given Lia and the rest a huge scare. This crazy person had taken the initiative to mess with this malignant star. Just one word from Olivios would be enough to send him home.

However, the strange thing was that Olivios had not even looked at Zhang Shan. He even smiled. Everyone was dumbfounded. Could this person even smile?

It might be because they had not seen this too often. It was as though they had seen a ghost.

"It's a little noisy here," said Olivios.

"Let's find another place," said Wang Zheng. The truth was that he wanted to learn quietly for a period of time. However, Olivios clearly didn't intend to give him this opportunity. They had different ways of thinking. Nonetheless, Olivios had never cared about any troubles. This was because he would solve the troubles with the most radical ways and would make the trouble be scared of looking for him. It was just that this method wasn't something that a normal person could use.

Olivios nodded his head. The two of them left, walking side by side. Hu Ba's jaw had dropped, but he did not stop them in the end. Mo Ling was also stunned. This was because she knew this person. Accurately speaking, she meant the two people. The two people were the funny freshmen that had arrived today and were even still carrying their freshmen package.

When the two of them left, the hall burst into noise and excitement. Hu Ba's face darkened. Clearly the atmosphere had been destroyed, and staying behind would have no meaning. He turned around and left in anger, leaving the remaining matters to Mo Ling. Mo Ling clearly wouldn't be like Hu Ba. All she did was go through things about learning that freshmen should take extra notice of for the current period. Emphasis was on some important seminars and training components. These were areas that the student council would assist instructors in managing.

"Oh, damn. Zhang Shan, is Wang Zheng close to Olivios?"

"That is truly a strong backer."

Lie Xin and Lie Guang were at a loss of whether to cry or laugh. The truth was that they had already noticed it when they just arrived. They had thought that the IG would change the Solar System's position. However, there weren't any huge changes. A battle was simply a battle, and the strong factions in this place were still Aslan, Arbiter, Norton Star, etc.

Zhang Shan pouted and thought in his heart. Who did Olivios think he was? However, Wang Zheng had said that he wanted to study quietly. In fact, Zhang Shan couldn't understand Wang Zheng. If he had Wang Zheng's strength, he would definitely do much more and would turn the world upside down.

At this moment, Wang Zheng and Olivios were standing in the balcony and looking down at the scenery of the Azure Dragon Academy.

"What intentions do you have?" asked Olivios. They had not fought before and weren't even familiar with each other. However, at the same time, they felt close to each other.

Others had seen Wang Zheng to be like a little lamb. However, Olivios knew clearly that Wang Zheng was the same type of person as him. He couldn't understand how Wang Zheng could hide his killing aura and killing intent so well. There was a mystical contrast. Nonetheless, Olivios absolutely believed that Wang Zheng was someone who could kill without batting an eyelid.

Olivios' killing will was polished through thousands of battles and trials on the battlefield. Wang Zheng's killing will was developed from Bonehead's training. Each had its own merits. What was different was that Wang Zheng's killing will was a form of adaptation for his own survival. He could control it, while Olivios had already been consumed by it.

"There are some aspects of myself that need further improvement. This place is great and I could learn much in this place," said Wang Zheng. Obviously, he knew what Olivios was thinking about. This was also what he desired. It was just that this battle required him to be in the very best condition.

Chapter 579: Unpredictable

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

If someone else heard those words, they would think that Wang Zheng was a loser. However, Olivios was silent for a while and then replied, "How long do you need?��

Wang Zheng smiled. "Don't be in a hurry. You don't seem very confident either. Why don't we make better preparations, or it will be a waste of time."

Olivios' cold face revealed an approving look. "You will decide the time, I will decide on the format."

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Anything will do."

"Great!"

Olivios left. It was just that if anyone heard this conversion, they would definitely be shocked.

Looking at the back of the leaving Olivios, Wang Zheng shook his head. Sigh. Why was it so difficult to have a peaceful time? He hoped that he had not brought trouble to himself as he didn't want to waste precious time on these things.

When he left the campus, a serious looking student was standing upright while waiting for Olivios. Looking at his uniform, he should be an elite student. However, he seemed to be showing reverent respect towards Olivios.

"Captain, has the battle been arranged? Everyone is looking forward to watching the person Captain paid so much attention to," said Locks.

Locks was Olivios' teammate in the past. He had been transferred to Elite Academy X after his exceptional performance. In the world of Arbiter, loyalty to the strong was very high. They had a strong faith in power.

Olivios nodded his head and said, "We have made an agreement, but he will need some time."

Locks frowned and asked, "Isn't that person very strong? How could he be lacking in confidence?"

"I have never seen anyone more terrifying than him," said Olivios as he took a glance at Locks.

Locks was shocked for a moment and finally reacted. "What you mean is that he found a way to increase his strength?"

"I'm looking forward to it." For the first time, there was something other than killing in Olivios' eyes.

Indeed, there were exceptionally strong Ability X users in Elite Academy X. However this strength was due to accumulation over time. Olivios had no doubt that his Ability X would have further improvements. However one's understanding of battles would truly show a warrior's ability. Based on the current situation, only Wang Zheng was a close competitor to him.

In the hall, the Freshmen admonishment ended hastily. This was probably due to failed attempt in acting cool by Hu Ba. However, Olivios was from the White Tiger Region and a thorn like him would be best left to the people from White Tiger to worry about. There wasn't such a person in the Azure Dragon Region.

"Boss, Wang Zheng was targeted by Olivios the moment he had arrived. This brat is going to be really unlucky. Haha." laughed Luo Fei. He had felt uncomfortable since he arrived here. It was great to just hang around on Earth. He could act cool and had the admiration of beautiful girls. Once he was here, Luo Fei was reminded of his tough life in the past. There were pros everywhere and anyone from here might have a tremendous background. This place wasn't suitable for fatty.

Lear snorted. He was the one who led the Solar System Team in the finals with Arbiter and yet Olivios totally disregarded his existence. Although Lear liked hide in the dark, the feeling of being disregarded wasn't great at all.

Lie Xin and Lie Guang could also feel the tension between Lear and Wang Zheng. They didn't understand why Lear was so anti-social. It might be because this person was too arrogant in nature. However truthfully speaking, there wasn't much they could do either. The Lie Family might be rather famous but they still had to keep a low profile in this place.

Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan headed in the direction of the dorm with their luggage in tow. For them, the life in Elite Academy had officially started. It was just that it wasn't a comfortable thing to be targeted by Olivios once they were here.

"Wang Zheng, if Olivios is looking for trouble, remember to ask me along. He was only able to become the champion because of your injury previously. We should let him understand that there won't be a second time!" said Zhang Shan enthusiastically.

"Oh, so you want to fight him 1-on-1. I will tell him about it then." Wang Zheng laughed.

As though he had been struck by a thunderbolt, Student Zhang Shan froze. "Cough, cough, I was just saying it casually. Olivios! When I master my space warping ability, I will teach him a lesson. I will let him be arrogant for a while longer."

Wang Zheng couldn't help but laugh. "The truth is that I really feel that this is a hard-to-come-by opportunity. This place possesses the most advanced technologies of human kind and the most effective studying conditions. Why don't we try to make the best use of our time to enrich ourselves? As for the other matters, we can push them to the future."

Zhang Shan scratched his head and said, "Could your attitude not be so great? Why should I halt my burning ambitions?"

"It is because you are too materialistic," said Yan Ge. Mo Ling was around too.

"Wang Zheng, why did Olivios look for you?" asked Mo Ling. "I do not have other intentions. You are now a part of the Azure Dragon Region. If he is looking for trouble, please tell us. The student council will handle it."

Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head. "We were just having a casual chat. Didn't you see that he has left and I am alright?"

Yan Ge walked to the front of Wang Zheng and was scrutinizing him. "Freshman, are you a pro? You can tell this sister."

This distance… Yan Ge's boobs were a little overly well-endowed and she was just a little shorter than Wang Zheng. He could just see a little from this angle. Wang Zheng had doubts that the button would remain in place if she exerted a little force.

He took a small step back and replied, "Shouldn't those who could make it here be elites? You should have information on my situation, and there were also my enrolment examination results. I'm OK. I will definitely look to the student council for help if I encounter difficulties."

"Oh, that's obedient. Looking at your eyes, you seem more upright than the one right next to you. You're just a good teenager who is idealistic." Yan Ge nodded with satisfaction.

"Damn, where are your eyes! I am known to be a handsome, honest, and reliable man!" Zhang Shan was speechless. Wang Zheng was the real pervert! How could he not be the historical No. 1 pervert if he could even court the Aslan Princess?

Mo Ling kept her composure. "If that's the case, we won't be disturbing you. If there's anything in the future, you can look for me."

Wang Zheng nodded and pulled Zhang Shan away. Zhang Shan was still a little reluctant to leave. "Why are you in a hurry? Let's chat with the beautiful girls a little more!"

"We should at least keep our baggage. They make us look like we are refugees from Earth. Moreover, we were in a different class from them and won't have any interactions in the future."

"Oh, damn, that couldn't be! Are you really just intending to study and make progress everyday?" Zhang Shan was a little depressed. He was counting on Wang Zheng to create a huge ruckus with him.

Wang Zheng smiled and waved his hands casually. His dorm was in the other direction. Zhang Shan carried his own pot gloomily. Study well? He thought he had finally escaped from school and would be free since then. In the end he had fallen back into the same hole again. It was worse than Ares College.

"Mo Ling, let's go. Olivios has not caused any trouble. I guess they probably have some friendly relations. One of them is a little silly, while the other is always boasting. They truly are individuals of the Huang-7 class."

Mo Ling smiled and replied, "Did you notice that he said he would only look for the student council if he encountered difficulties?"

"What's wrong with that? That was why I said he was a little silly!"

"What did he mean by 'difficulties?'" Mo Ling wanted to know badly. The mission for the student council would be that there were two people that were worth more attention among the freshmen. One of them was Olivios. The other one… might even be more important, and his name was… Wang Zheng!

He was truly an unpredictable brat.

Chapter 580: Theory on Marks

The students of Elite Academy could be broadly separated into two categories. One of the categories was the battle type. Wang Zheng, Olivios and many others belonged to the battle type, with their abilities more inclined towards battle. The other category was the support type. Xie Yuxin, Lia and many others would fall into this category and they were more suitable to take up behind the scene roles or supporting roles.

Specialising in battle or support wasn't representative of who would be more superior. Anyone had the opportunity to achieve a higher position.

Based on one's Ability X and their attributes, their curriculums were also different. It could be separated to Core modules and Electives. Everyone had to attend Core modules. Electives were based on individual preferences. Absences without official reasons were a grave matter in Elite Academy. You wouldn't end up in a good spot unless your results were so outstanding that you could completely disregard the deductions that mentors would give or if you could settle it with your mentors. One might even be expelled in the worst scenario.

However, this had not occurred over the past few years. This wasn't just about being expelled. Various countries had chosen and recommended one to be there. If one was to be expelled over such trivial matters, one's future would be over. Who would dare to use such types of people?

Even Olivios was very serious about his own curriculum.

Wang Zheng took a look at his Core modules. Ability X, mecha, space fleet and strategic theories were the main modules. Other than that, combined sciences were also compulsory and would cover physics, mathematics, chemistry and et cetera. Obviously, since they were battle types, their lessons would be related to the aspects of battle. They wouldn't become scientists but they had to have a certain degree of knowledge. This would allow them to make the right judgement when extreme situations occurred.

This place was nurturing the protectors of humans, super warriors and successors to the human civilisation.

After looking at the overall allocation of the Academy, Wang Zheng suddenly sighed. There would be politics in places with people. Nonetheless, its existence was reasonable. This structure was suitable for humans. There was a corrupted side to it but there were also benefits. Elite Academy was a great product of it. It had gotten rid of geographical boundaries, racial distinction and had put the succession of human civilisation at the forefront of everything.

One had to be prepared for danger in times of peace. It was more important the stronger one gotten.

There were also plentiful of elective modules. They covered various aspects of the human world, history of Special Forces, biology research of aliens, development and destruction of Zerg, the origin and development of Atlantis and et cetera. These were all microcosms of humankind's history.

Wang Zheng could smile even while sleeping. Knowledge was power and these were things that couldn't be bought with any amount of money.

"Wang Zheng, I heard that Olivios has targeted you. Is everything alright?" asked Xie Yuxin over the phone call. Xie Yuxin was in the Huang-1 class of the Vermillion Bird Region. His recommended curriculum wasn't from the Solar System but the Aslan Empire.

"There's nothing much. We could be considered to be old friends. It seems that he didn't have enough when we competed during the last IG." Wang Zheng had always been more direct when talking to Xie Yuxin. From Wang Zheng's perspective, Xie Yuxin was the smartest amongst the people he knew.

"Yeah, I had some interactions with him. He even saved me once!" Xie Yuxin told Wang Zheng about the incident when he just enrolled. "This person can be considered a martial arts fanatic and has no other distractions. What he is chasing after is the strongest power. Truthfully speaking, it is rather rueful. The people of Arbiter are all so pure. There are reasons to their strength. Despite being a planet without an abundance of resources, the planet has now become one of the top superpowers in the Milky Way Alliance."

Wang Zheng also agreed totally. "This is a result of their innermost desires. The truth is that Earth has also desired to become stronger. However, we are too lazy."

Xie Yuxin had laughed. The word "lazy" wasn't entirely wrong. There were too many historical reasons behind it. It could be considered another case where decline was inevitable when one civilisation became too prosperous. The Earth had ruled over many eras.

"Oh, right, where do I go for food? Do I need to pay for it?" Wang Zheng asked suddenly.

"Hehe, of course you don't need to. Everything here is basically free. Money isn't important, but the use of many tools and the garage are based on one's extent of authority. Students of the Huang classes have the lowest authorisation," said Xie Yuxin. "However with the amount of things in Elite Academy, one wouldn't be able to master it all."

Wang Zheng nodded. Both of them were very busy and Wang Zheng needed some time to get use to his new life. When he had settled down, he would look for a time for a gathering.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Xie Yuxin was still Xie Yuxin. He was still as composed. Since Wang Zheng had met him, he had never seen Xie Yuxin worried. Sometimes he really wanted to see how Xie Yuxin would look like when he was angry or worried.

In the morning of the second day, Wang Zheng had woken up and had started his training. He didn't know why he was so happy and his whole body seemed to be filled with endless amount of energy. After completing his morning training, he collected his own breakfast from the canteen. The breakfast was plentiful and was way better than those in Ares College. Moreover, there were more choices for the flavours available. The selection changed and rotated throughout the seven days in a week and had different cuisines from different countries.

The first lesson was an introduction to Ability X. Wang Zheng had been looking forward to this lesson. He wanted to know about the overall situation badly even if it might only be some details or final conclusion. Suddenly, he felt that he was so thirsty for knowledge.

With the qualifications and strength of the mentors in Elite Academy, they could actually adopt simulated lessons and electronic mentors. There were many academies that had adopted this way of teaching in the outside world. However, it was different in this place. The mentors in this place did not have such electronic products. One could tell that this place respected individuals. Those who were qualified to teach here would likely have a glorious past even if they might look ordinary. Some of the visiting professors were even renowned characters in present times.

The one giving a lecture on the introduction to Ability X was an old man of about 80 years old. He had been around Elite Academy for countless years. Everyone had forgotten his name as the students would just address him as Old Mentor.

Old Mentor looked at the students below and revealed a warm smile. "My name is Old Mentor and I welcome everyone that came for my lesson."

Old Mentor was rather popular. The main reason was because he rarely made things difficult for students. One didn't really need to listen to things such as theories on Ability X if they weren't willing to. However, he was very strict for his examinations. If you couldn't pass or was found to skip classes, the outcome would also be devastating. Frankly speaking, he was still considered to be a more humane professor.

"We can see Ability X as a kind of phenomenon. The current common understanding of the scientific world on the phenomenon of human evolution is that these strengths originated from genetic changes. However, our research on genetics is more inclined towards improving one's muscles and the skeletal structure. We do not have the foundation to prove Ability X's existence with actual and practical evidence. The truth is that Ability X and genetics do not have a direct connection, and regular training of one's muscular system would not aid Ability X much," said Old Mentor.

"Teacher, if that was the case, based on what you said, there wouldn't be a need to train our body."

A student stood up and asked.

"To be able to come to this place, I believe that everyone has been training very diligently. There is nothing wrong with this. This is because the use of Ability X exerts a great toll on one's body. Your body must be able to keep up with it. However, it would be wrong to believe that physical training would help in the development of your Ability X. What I want to tell everyone here is that the appearance of Ability X originated from the Mark of Life!"

Old Mentor wrote "Mark of Life" on the black board and made a few annotations around it to emphasise this fact.

"The so-called 'Mark of Life' is a category of understanding of the Universe. Any objects, including humans and non-humans, or broadly speaking, even including organic and inorganic materials. Even if we are referring to a stone, it would have a Mark of the Universe. This is the core existence that we believe in. This is a step beyond the classification of genetics just like how mankind had previously believed that all materials were made up of elements as the smallest binding matter. Subsequently, we had discovered atoms, atomic nucleus and even anti-matter and dark matter. Above all these, Marks are the core of where our memory is stored."

Everyone started to discuss. There were many people who couldn't agree with such an iffy argument.

"Teacher, how can we see the Mark? How can we quantify it?"

The mainstream explanation within the Milky Way now was still about genetics. This was because humans had not really been able to reach a higher level in unravelling the genetic code. With the introduction of a new theory of Marks, it was a little exaggerated and seemed to be bluffing them.

"It can't be quantified and thus didn't exist previously. One can only try to understand it, but it can't be explained. Therefore, this theory only exists in this place. While you young ones continue to try to raise your abilities, there will be no harm in trying to verify this theory." The Old Mentor laughed. "Asking questions is beneficial to everyone. The various theories within Elite Academy don't have to be the truth. Any truth is only relative. Most of the time, we can only look at things relatively, and at this current stage, how could we go about understanding this topic better?"

Wang Zheng was listening attentively. This was more in line with his understanding of Ability X. The explanation using genetics was a little shallow. Genetics was just a form of succession of humans themselves while the nature of Ability X was a reaction of one's spirit and appeared in a formless manner. Genetics could even be considered to be something physical and thus how could it explain something so ephemeral? Moreover the direction of the development of Ability X was to communicate with the Universe.

Therefore, the so-called Cultivation Techniques would not be able to raise one's Ability X. Accurately speaking, it was used to allow the body to be able to match one's Ability X and withstand the recoil of using the abilities. The effects of similar elemental attributes Cultivation Techniques would be better. If one's Ability X was that of manipulating fire, using a Cultivation Technique that was of the "Fire" attribute would allow the physical body to better adapt and communicate about the harm to the body. The results would be that one would be able to exhibit stronger power as the body learned to use the power more effectively. The time it could last would also be longer and one would feel more at ease when using.

As for raising or attaining breakthroughs in Ability X, it happened mainly in some extreme situation that had huge stimulations to one's spirit. It could also be due to enlightenment.

Old Mentor allowed the students to discuss this theory. This was a very important process. A skilled pro might not qualify as a great teacher. This was because what he needed to do wasn't just about understanding it himself. He had to help the students understand.

"Teacher, what you mean is that we can train our bodies through various methods such that we have enough strength to withstand the recoil. How can we then raise the strength of our Ability X, excluding the known methods of spiritual stimulation and the sudden enlightenment?" Wang Zheng couldn't hold back and asked.

All the current methods were all about these 2 methods. With regard to the awakening of Ability X, enlightenment was a more common method. However, this was still too dependent on luck.

Old Mentor was slightly surprised. "What do you think?"

Wang Zheng pondered for a while and replied, "The development of Ability X is about using oneself as the medium to communicate with the universe. We would need a more solid container."

Instantly, everyone was laughing. What high-sounding sentiments those were. He was really aiming too high and had escalated himself to the level of the universe in an instant.

However, Wang Zheng was already immersed in his own thinking process and couldn't care less about the reaction of others. "Strengthening the container would be easier to achieve, and spiritual strength would be the way we connect. If we wanted to achieve more, it would always be about having a strong spiritual strength, and it would be best to think about how to utilise it more effectively. In this case, meditation should also work. Is there a highly effective meditation method?"

Old Mentor's jaw had dropped. "Are you new here? What is your name?"

"Wang Zheng. I just arrived here yesterday," said Wang Zheng.

Chapter 581: Changing Ability X Frequencies

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Oh, kid. You have quite the imagination. However, one needs to be down to earth in learning. It is still too far to think about it now. Let's keep this topic in view. What we are going to talk about now will be…"

Old Mentor skipped over this topic and continued with the discovery and development of Ability X. In the early days, Ability X users didn't had good days. With more and more people able to use Ability X and the fact that the ability could be controlled, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

The geniuses in the classroom started to get impatient. How would these stories help them in raising their strength?

In just a short while, there were people who were distracted and sleeping. Old Mentor continued to teach seriously. He might have taught about these many times before.

They finally managed to last till the end of the class. Almost everyone ran out like a swarm of bees. Old Mentor was known to be a nice old man in Elite Academy. However, since the things he taught were also the most useless, he was considered by many as the Dawdling Professor. Considering his age, he would probably be only suitable to give a lecture on these documentary-like things and treat it as retirement.

Wang Zheng did not have a notebook or something similar. As compared to recording, it would be better to just remember it. Although Old Mentor was talking about the causes and development history of Ability X, it was nonetheless a self-correction process humans had on Ability X.

He seemed to be trying to convey something.

"Teacher, could I ask you a question?" Wang Zheng was not in a hurry to leave.

A few people saw Wang Zheng taking the initiatives to ask questions and were ridiculing him. Clearly, this type of teacher's pet wasn't well received. It was especially so when he was asking Old Mentor. Old Mentor was just a broken record in their perspectives.

Seeing that Wang Zheng wanted to ask a question, Old Mentor did not make any special expression. "Is there anything that you still aren't clear on about what I talked about just now?"

"Nope, I wanted to ask about what you said previously. Could being more self-conscious help to improve one's Ability X?" asked Wang Zheng.

Old Mentor was stunned and he smiled gently. "Did I mention anything about self-consciousness?"

"Yes. You said that Ability X is the awakening of one's self-consciousness," said Wang Zheng.

Old Mentor smiled. "Hehe, you are interesting. I am only responsible for lecturing about the history of Ability X's development. To put it bluntly, it was to tell a story. It would be great if you all loved it. As for raising one's Ability X, you have to go for lectures of others mentors."

After finishing his sentences, Old Mentor took his briefcase and left.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He was very interested in the things that Old Mentor had said. It was just that the other party didn't seem interested in him.

As for how others would look at him, he had zero interest in it. The classes in this place weren't packed. The emphasis was on efficiency and self-learning.

Wang Zheng also learnt from Zhang Shan that Achilles had arrived. However this brat had gone to the Vermillion Bird Region through unknown means and wasn't in the Azure Dragon region. Zhang Shan seemed envious of it as though the atmosphere in Vermillion Bird Region was the best. This also meant that Achilles' Family still had some means.

The new round of competitions had started. During the last IG, Wang Zheng was leading the way. However he knew that Lear's and Achilles' personalities would mean that they wouldn't concede defeat easily unless their lives had ended.

It was the case for him too.

After eating a simple lunch, he started to prepare for the lessons in the afternoon. It was a lesson that all Ability X users would pay much attention to: Ability X Control. The objectives of the class were to increase the distribution and control of one's Ability X.

This was a huge class and there were many students taking the class and it was a class that combined lectures and practicals.

The teacher of the Ability X Control class was Jiang Feng and he was a real pro. His class was also well known in Elite Academy. He looked like he was just over 40 years old and was in tip-top condition. He would only have one class each month. Legends had it that his battle prowess would place him in the top 500 in Elite Academy.

There was a battle force ranking within Elite Academy X. This wasn't open to public. The ranking had existed since the starting of Elite Academy. In the past, it was only internal information. With the occurrence of some international events, this reference information had then been known by others. Nonetheless, the internal information was still known only by a minority of people and its scope covered the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Every single person who entered the Elite Academy X, regardless if they were currently in the school, had graduated, or even had been expelled, would be given a file. Unless the person was dead, anyone who had reached a certain level of strength would have his/her own battle force and achievement file. This was also a form of control on the super pros by the Milky Way Alliance and was classified as highly secret. Battle force was determine by individual strength, battle force with mecha and one's ability to handle different situations. Consolidating the scores of different aspects, the individual would be given a battle force ranking. The elites of the Elite Academy X had been distributed across the Milky Way Alliance over the years. Many of them had even become unquestionable leadership figures.

This ranking system had always been in existence and was updated constantly. There was only 10,000 people worthy to be recorded in the system. These 10,000 people were all definitely pros, with each of them being selected from millions more. Those who could squeeze into the top 1,000 could be considered to be "dangerous" personnel. As for the top 500, they were basically important personnel in various countries.

Obviously Jiang Feng had his own occupation. He belonged to the headquarters of Milky Way Alliance and was mainly responsible for Elite Academy X. However, teaching was only his secondary project. He was considered to be a guest professor. Therefore, when he wanted to start a class, he would always be able to attract countless students. They weren't just freshmen. Some higher level students would also appear even though what Jiang Feng taught might not be things that were very deep or were even some very basic things. Nonetheless, there weren't a lack of people who were here to see their idols.

He had a height of 1.8 meters and looked gentle from the outside. The difference between Old Mentor and him was just like the difference between heaven and earth. Although he was said to be over 40 years old, one couldn't tell at all. What everyone could see was just a handsome, sharp and unparalleled elite model.

Wang Zheng had not expected there would be so many people… the classroom that could accommodate 200 people was filled to the brim. Half of them were girls. Did they have to be so crazy? One wouldn't know if they were here for learning or looking for a rich boyfriend.

Zhang Shan would definitely not miss such a lesson. Lear and the rest had also come. It was a rare opportunity for Jiang Feng to appear. This might be a lesson that was opened specifically for freshmen.

When he arrived, Jiang Feng was able to attract everyone's eyes. Looking at the whole class, Jiang Feng laughed. "I have always felt that I could consider myself to be young and successful. Seeing everyone now makes me feel that this world belongs to all of you."

Instantly, screams and applause erupted. Student Zhang Shan was speechless. "Damn, this guy sure knows how to get on the good side of others. Is he really as powerful as what the legends say?"

"There wouldn't be any weakling with such a level of fame," said Wang Zheng. Disregarding everything else, the other party's Ability X grade would definitely be extraordinary.

It might be because he wasn't an official teacher, the style of Jiang Feng's lesson was a little more casual. Making reference to some of the interesting things that happened when he was still a student, he could always cause laughter among the students. The things he said were also very reasonable and didn't talk about things that were too profound and hard to understand using his status as the teacher. For the students of Huang Classes, they would have to first learn the overarching topics.

"In a battle, it is extremely important to allocate Ability X reasonably. We have to be thrifty with our ability usage. It is roughly similar to a kid being the manager of a poor household. When I was young, my family situation was very bad. Therefore, I have cultivated the habit of thriftiness since young and therefore I was also very stingy in the use of my ability." Jiang Feng laughed.

"Everyone has their own understanding about Ability X. A lot of people probably prefer to release everything at one go to defeat the opponent. My understanding is that if you can make your opponent do it while you only spend a little to counter them, you will be in a position where you can't lose. This is because there will always be more options in defending than in attacking. Obviously, what I have provided is just a form of understanding. Choices in battle differ based on individuals. Since everyone is here, there's no harm in trying this idea out. The opportunities and conditions here are just right, so why not?"

One had to admit that Jiang Feng's view was very reasonable. No matter what you specialised in, once you were here, there would always be opportunities to learn more. This was also a form of battle experience.

How far one could see would decide how high one could go.

Jiang Feng extended out a finger and a force of the "Wind" was created on the finger. "Everyone has an attribute that they specialised in. What I will be teaching everyone today is how to improve one's micro control using high frequency changes in the emission of your ability."

The small gust of "Wind" on his finger started to change magically on his finger. There were wave-like, rotating shapes, and various delicate forms. It quickly changed to a crazy form that resembled a fast and fierce electric drill.

Instantly, the whole class went silent. Everyone was an Ability user and had an idea how to control Ability X. The strength that Jiang Feng had demonstrated wasn't strong at all. However his control had reached close to perfection.

"Once you can control your own ability's emission frequency, you will possess infinite possibilities. This is not only a method of training, it can also create more battle techniques and make it difficult for your opponent to handle you," said Jiang Feng with fervour and assurance.

There were no longer chattering for the rest of the lesson as everyone was listening to the lecture attentively. Wang Zheng was very happy. He had finally seen a brand new world, a brand new power and many strong people. There was never a lack of geniuses in the world of humans. It was especially so since they were in the Interstellar Navigation era. With such a large population, fortuitous encounters weren't uncommon. Everyone had their own destiny and the strong that was born from it was known as hero!

Everyone in the class wanted to become part of this group of people.

What Jiang Feng had taught today was a training method for changing one's Ability X frequently. As for how one could derive new techniques, the teacher could only lead his students and the students had to work hard themselves to achieve it.

There was no wonder why there was so many people here today. The charisma of the teacher was indeed really strong and he could use various ways to make his students willingly enter the world he guided them towards.

Even Zhang Shan's space Ability could benefit from him. His space Ability was lacking in its ability to change its form and shape. The ability was terrifying but honestly speaking, it was weak in real battle. If he couldn't use his ability, he would be no different from a normal person. Increasing and strengthening it would be his first priority.

After the theoretical lessons had ended, it was the practical lesson. The facilities of Elite Academy X were undoubtedly very comprehensive. There were various devices for training Ability X and one could use different methods based on the classification of one's ability. If it was to be divided into finer categories, the selections would still be astonishing.

For example, there were various perception devices for perception-type abilities. There were also matching devices for the regular 5 abilities belonging to the 5 cycles.

The theory was easy but the real challenge had yet to arrive. Everyone already had their own habits in using their Ability X. Some of them like to release everything at one go while some would split the usage into several uses. Controlling the frequencies of the Ability X quickly was quite difficult. It was as though one was forced to use their left hand to write when you were already used to using their right hand.

Chapter 582: Finding Happiness Within

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

A small gust of wind appeared within the hands of Wang Zheng. Amongst the Abilities that he specialised in, "Wind' of the five cycles was undoubtedly the most adept in transformation. This was a gift from the Titatitan Star. After seeing Jiang Feng's demonstration, Wang Zheng understood the difference between them. The "Wind" ability was considered by him as an ability that was relatively easier to use. It would at least be unlike his "Ice" and "Fire" ability which he could only release it at one go. He could be a little more technical with his "Wind" ability. However, what Jiang Feng had demonstrated was indeed a strength that seemed as natural as breathing. This required the accumulation of time and training to be able to do it.

He tried to vary his spiritual strength. However, that small gust of wind immediately disintegrated.

It was the same case for most of the surrounding students. They had always gone with their feelings when using their Ability X. Once they lost this feeling, how could they use their ability?

Jiang Feng did not say anything and was just observing the students' situation. The training of one's ability lay within enlightenment. One wouldn't be able to master it with just the teachers giving some guidance. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a teacher and could simply be considered to have a cloning ability.

Enlightenment was hard to achieve. It was common to go through a few times, over ten times, or even hundreds or thousands of time before one could achieve it. Most of the times, it would depend on if one had the perseverance to achieve it.

There were a lot of students but Jiang's Feng attention landed on Wang Zheng very quickly. It was reasonable and it would be difficult for him to not notice Wang Zheng.

In the history of Elite Academy X, this type of thing had not occurred more than 10 times: for one to have his own file once one entered the academy. In other words, Wang Zheng had entered the top 10000 based on comprehensive battle force stats.

This was a rather stringent assessment and would definitely not be because of his identity or his connection. One had to have enough achievements and battle force to have his own file. Elite Academy X was responsible only for humans. It was an independent existence and wouldn't serve politics. Its only objective was to nurture the future pillars of human society.

And in this batch alone, there were 2 freshmen that entered the top 10000 in the X-rankings based on their battle force stats.

Obviously, both of them were at the bottom of the ranking. Nonetheless, this incident in itself was enough to attract his attention.

Olivios was ranked X-9999 and had started hunting and killing activities in the underworld since he was 10 years old. He joined the military when he was 13 years old. Since then, his name of "Thousand Kills" was indeed a truthful representation and not an exaggeration. He had always been at the forefront of the frontlines. Together with the title of IG champion, he had successfully squeezed into the X-ranking.

Wang Zheng was ranked X-10000. Being a runner-up in IG wasn't worth mentioning at all. His personal experience could also not compare with Olivios at all. The Solar System Federation's level was not enough to be considered for these rankings. Having said all these, it was an unimaginable that he could attain his battle force stats. Nonetheless, there were no doubts as to why he was shortlisted and it was only natural. Jiang Feng had saw information on Wang Zheng.

The information was mainly about Wang Zheng piloting the Golden Wheel and completed a S-grade Zerg extermination mission during the middle stages of IG. His understanding of mecha was beyond imagination and could be considered a genius in mecha. However… to put it bluntly, his application of Ability X was a little trashy. Obviously this could be because he did not have a proper learning environment. In other words, he had huge potential. However, it wouldn't be enough if it was just these. This was because although Wang Zheng's strength was not bad, he still needed to have achievements to support it.

One couldn't disregard the incidents they were involved in. Although the extent of one's strength wasn't the most important. What was key was that one had to apply this strength in the most suitable place and time and making the right decision to complete the mission perfectly. Olivios had executed multiple missions when he was in the military and his performance was outstanding. At the same time, the title of IG Champion would add points for him no matter how he had won it. The final result was that he won.

The second reason as to why Wang Zheng was shortlisted was also well substantiated. He also had achievements to support it. However, these achievements… Jiang Feng was not authorised to check.

The information within Elite Academy X was strictly governed by authorisation grade and was centrally controlled. Jiang Feng's authorisation grade was already very high in Elite Academy and yet he could not view these files.

He was observing Wang Zheng's training situation… He was really bad. This talent was… just too poor!

He had already seen Olivios and Olivios was rather powerful. He could even be described as terrifying. One should know that Olivios was only 17 years old although he might look more mature than that. This person had a determined heart and his battle techniques were beyond doubt. His Ability X was also rather solid and the most important point was that he had a good foundation. This would probably be because of his constant involvement in practical battles. After all, battles were the best way to increase one's strength. The only thing that would worry him was that Olivios had too strong a killing intent since young. However, he didn't know what method had he used to control it so well. There should be something that he adhered to in his heart that allowed him to keep calm.

As for Wang Zheng, he looked a little immature from the outside and didn't give off the feeling of strong determination and a willingness to sacrifice everything like Olivios. He seemed like an easy-going and calm person. If it wasn't because he had seen the video where Wang Zheng fought over ten thousand Zerg, it was really hard for him to imagine that it was the same person.

Zhang Shan who was beside Wang Zheng was moving around constantly. He was playing with a yo-yo. However, it was completely controlled by using spiritual strength. This was also away to adjust one's spiritual strength. It was even harder for Zhang Shan's space warp ability to advance. There wasn't much assistance others could provide him and would depend more on his own enlightenment. Although the methods used might be different, the principles were still the same. He would have a chance of success if he could build a strong foundation.

After observing for a while, Jiang Feng could no longer watch on. This Wang Zheng's foundation was atrociously poor. No matter how great his performance in mecha was, he would need the support of Ability X once he reached a certain stage. Otherwise, he would be a complete failure. This also formed the foundation for the existence of Elite Academy X.

He shook his head gently. Just when Jiang Feng was about to turn and look at other areas, his body suddenly froze.

Initially there was a gust of wind in his hands. Suddenly it changed into a ball of fire, and the fire spark… froze.

Wang Zheng was feeling a little depressed. He had always encountered problems with adjusting the strength of a certain attribute of ability. However, he was feeling more at ease when changing between his abilities as compared to the past.

Jiang Feng's eyeballs were close to popping out of his sockets…

How could it be possible?

"Teacher, teacher?"

Jiang Feng was finally awoken by the student by his side after a while. Naturally, there wouldn't be a lack of questions from students. Moreover, all the students were girls.

However, Jiang Feng still could not forget the previous scene. Amongst Ability X users, there would be many who had more than one ability. However, they would be of the same attribute most of the time. Occasionally, there would be people with different attribute abilities. Nonetheless, a majority of them were a product of complementary attributes. For example, the "Wood" and "Earth" attribute of the five cycles. "Earth" could aid the growth of "Wood". However, Wang Zheng's interchanging of three abilities… was totally unrelated. The crucial thing was that scene where the fire was frozen. It had greatly stimulated Jiang Feng.

This was because no one would be able to do so. Opposing attribute abilities, when used together, would cause one to lose control and go crazy!

However, Wang Zheng seemed to be able to do it naturally as though he was breathing. Could it be that it was just an illusion?

Wang Zheng was indeed feeling depressed. "Wind" could be considered to be the easiest. However, it had all end up in failures after trying over 10 times. As for Zhang Shan, he was having a great time. Zhang Shan had dragged Wang Zheng away. "Let's change our way of thinking. Today is only the first day and we won't need to rush it. I feel that these training machines are rather fun."

The basic materials for the training machines were all made of G-materials. For example, the bowling balls, yo-yo and others were all made of G-materials and could be considered to be both for learning and entertainment. Zhang Shan had a great time playing with them. He was gifted when it came to controlling Ability X. However, being good in this aspect did not bring him much benefits. Space warping was all about distance and number of times. Often, it wouldn't be perfect.

Nonetheless, both of them felt that they had learnt much from this lesson and felt great about it. Both of them did not attend the Academy X classes. Therefore their experience was definitely different. As majority of the people had attended the Youth classes, they weren't as excited as them.

The other people were just practicing according to the prescribed routine and were sneering at the excitement shown by the 2 countryman. Not only did some of them having completed similar training previously, many of them actually had dedicated training rooms. Therefore they were able to find the training easy to master.

One had to admit that in this place, there were as many arrogant people as the pebbles on the side of the road.

After the lesson ended, Jiang Feng left decisively amidst a group of Loli's who couldn't bear to part with him. It was definitely a worthy trip for him this time.

The time he appeared in the Academy had become shorter and shorter. It wasn't because he was putting on airs but he had huge responsibilities and wouldn't dare to slack off. Elite Academy X didn't consist of only a single Academy.

After the lesson ended, Jiang Feng did not leave the Academy immediately but had arrived at the door of an office. He knocked on the door gently.

"Come in. You really know how to choose the time. I have just made tea," said Old Mentor with a smile. His eyes were staring on his teapot as though he had seen a beautiful lady.

Jiang Feng sat opposite of him. "That was… It wasn't easy for me to make this trip, and I wish to be able to leave smoothly later."

"Hehe, come, it is a great time for this wonderful tea." The boiling water automatically filled the cup and steam could be seen rising.

Jiang Feng placed the cup below his nose and took a deep sniff. The fragrance was mentally refreshing.

"How is the situation at the frontline?" asked Old Mentor.

"It is still rather peaceful and therefore I could make this trip. The current batch of Heaven-class students is about to graduate, but it is a pity that not many are willing to stay behind."

"Only a silly guy like you would be willing to do these arduous but fruitless things. The new batch should have almost completed their preparations," said Old Mentor.

"Teacher, there were two interesting kids amongst the freshmen."

"Hehe, you must be talking about Olivios and Wang Zheng."

"Yeah, Olivios has the same disposition as that man and is a hard to come by general-level talent. As for Wang Zheng, he is a little special, and it is rare to see a type like him. However, his abilities were a little strange. "

"You should just settle your own things and stop worrying over these trivial things." Old Mentor laughed. "Youth is capital. However, there are too many uncertainties in the process of becoming a pro. Among those with great gifts, a majority of them have lost it over time. It will require more time to determine who is made of real gold. For example, you were almost expelled," teased Old Mentor.

Jiang Feng rubbed his nose. He knew that teacher had never cared much about results and fame. He placed more emphasis on one's attitude. One's attitude would decide how far one could go.

"Based on the current information we have, Wang Zheng has 'Ice','Fire' and 'Wind' abilities. Among which, the 'Wind' ability has just appeared recently. It is rare to have an Ability user who can possess so many Abilities. One shouldn't bite off more than he/she can chew. Having more Abilities wouldn't necessary be better. One should pursue mastery instead," said Old Mentor.

Jiang Feng was slightly shocked. "Teacher, your tone isn't right. Did this kid offend you?"

Old Mentor shook his head helplessly. "How can he offend an old man like me? Sigh. That kid might seem harmless, but he has gotten into more troubles than Olivios. There isn't any issue currently. To sum it up, we should try to make him keep a low profile during the school term. It is great that he has understood the importance of it as well."

"Teacher, I believe that he is a great seedling. If it isn't too difficult, do help him out if you can."

"Brat, how dare you start lecturing me. No one could cause more trouble than you. Get lost after finishing your tea. Don't always think of slacking off," said Old Mentor.

Jiang Feng wasn't angry and was smiling. "Regarding this, look, I've also had a rather tough time. I was giving my life to the country and the people. Wasn't it…"

"Take it, take it. Damn. You only know how to take advantage of the old!"

Jiang Feng immediately grabbed the box and ran away.

Old Mentor revealed a smile. Clearly, this was specially prepared for his disciple.

Chapter 583: Blackened Student Wang

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Freshmen registration could always bring about some sense of superiority to the seniors. Naturally, the students from the Xuan class were the most happy about it as they finally had a place to show off. Hu Ba was definitely not the first and would definitely not be the last. It was just that the way each person wanted to act cool was different.

However, this was not limited to the Heaven and Earth class students. Students who had reached these 2 levels would have to execute various "practical" missions. As for what the "practical" missions were, no one knew. Nonetheless, one would have to reach a certain level of strength to be qualified to participate.

At Vermillion Bird Region, Heaven-class. Those who could reach this level could be considered to be the cream of the crop in this place.

Juliet was a famous genius girl in the entire Elite Academy X and was the youngest B-rank Ability X user. Moreover, she was a rare prophetic-type Ability X user and was undoubtedly the authority in this field.

Xie Yuxin also had an abilty X in this field. However, he was dwarved in comparison to Juliet.

"Juliet, are there any decent freshmen in this batch?"

"Che, what was there to look at for a bunch of hotheaded youths? There hasn't been any improvement in their general levels in recent years despite them being so arrogant."

Looking at her companions teasing the freshmen, Juliet smiled and said, "Astrology is only a type of feeling and isn't a mystical art."

"Hehe. Others have already regarded you as a goddess. There are countless influential people that would wish to have you help them predict their future."

Juliet shook her head gently and replied, "I have done my predictions. Would you all like to guess what this batch will represent?"

"Servant?"

"Death?"

"The Hanged Man?"

"Could it be that it was the King?"

Those who weren't paying attention to this place had turned their attention here. Juliet's divinatory ability was truly unique.

The future was hidden within the mist. You could foresee possibilities or directions. However in the next instance, all these would change. Humans would never be able to accurately determine the future. The truth was that when you were using this ability, the future was changing at the same time. Nonetheless, one could only get some direction within the boundary of their own ability. As for the extent of the prediction they could attain, it would be dependent on individual's strength.

Obviously, this was the development direction of general predictive abilities. Based on the grade and type of one's Ability X, predictions could also be distinguished into many forms. Juliet was truly very strong. She had made use of her self-design unique interstellar Tarot cards to predict what she wanted to know.

Basically everyone would ask her to make a prediction when a new batch of freshmen arrived each year and it was basically rather accurate. There would be new stars emerging each year that eventually reached the Heaven rank.

Juliet turned over the card— It was the Galaxy Card.

Wang Zheng returned to his own room. He had fallen in love with this place. The Yuan Qi in this place was very unique. It couldn't be described as plentiful nor deficient. It just felt a little strange. This stream of Yuan Qi didn't originate from the planet and seemed more like it had emerged out from thin air. To sum it up, it was just a little strange.

The Primordial Regression Technique could strengthen one's body but in the aspect of Ability X, he would still need to depend on himself. After the hard work during this period of time, Wang Zheng's body could clearly withstand his abilities. He was ingenious in the use of mecha and this had allowed him to not need to rely too much on his Ability X. However, this was clearly the wrong direction. If he couldn't use Ability X appropriately, his application of the Golden Wheel would have already reached the peak and it would only be that strong. However if he could add in Ability X and distribute it reasonably, he could further raise his Ability X.

Wang Zheng suddenly jumped up from his bed. Why didn't he think of this?!

With his Ability X, he would definitely be able to raise the battle prowess of the Golden Wheel to a new level. The truth was that it wasn't reasonable to use his "Ice" ability to increase his attacking prowess previously.

The spinning wheel generated heat in battle. Although the "Ice" Ability increased the destructive force, it had also obstructed the mechanical force. If it was the "Fire" ability, it would be different. The power of the "Fire" and the spinning would be complementary. Moreover, the construction of the Golden Wheel was in the direction of a super mech after all.

Moreover, there was another power and that was "Wind"!

Wang Zheng's first thought would be to add in the power of "Fire" and "Wind" into his attack. The destructive force would be terrifying just imaging about it.

Invincible Windflame Wheels!

This name seemed a little too old-fashioned. However Wang Zheng did not care too much about the name. He was considering the probability of him being able to pull it off.

Due to the restriction of the mech itself, the Golden Wheel still had some flaws. For example, the distance of the golden wheel and the lack of destructive force of it. If he encountered an opponent with a stronger defence, the cutting force of the golden wheel would stall and it was common that it would lose speed. Although there was still impact force, the effect would be limited and he might suffer as a consequence.

If he was the opponent of the Golden Wheel, he would definitely use non-metal weapons to defend. Entanglement was definitely the most terrifying.

If the people of Manalasuo were to know about Wang Zheng's thoughts, they would definitely be shocked. This was because the military of Manalasuo was in the process of improving the Golden Wheel. Currently, the results from the experiment had been great. A strong country like Manalasuo would be comprehensive in whatever they did. The effect of the Golden Wheel had been seen by all the countries and it would definitely be a simulated enemy of the other countries.

The final research had shown that Golden Wheel still had lethal flaws. That was that the Golden Wheel would easily encounter problems when faced with nets or lock-like non-metal weapons. Obviously, the greatest opponent faced by the Golden Wheel was itself, as being able to operate it at an invincible level was already highly difficult. This situation had really baffled the scientists of Manalasuo as they considered ways to overcome it.

Wang Zheng had long built up the habit of competing with himself by first setting himself a tough problem and solving it eventually to improve himself.

The truth was that this was an unavoidable problem. There were always restrictions whenever they come up with something. From the physical perspective, this was an unavoidable and unsolvable problem. In other words, it was the theory of double-edged sword.

If one wanted to solve it, he/she would have to jump out of the box. Clearly, it would be to make use of Ability X.

A ball of fire appeared on the left hand of Wang Zheng while a gust of wind appeared on his right hand.

The fire spark and whirlwind approached each other slowly and surprisingly, there was an attractive force.

It had originated from the power of the same wavelength. At the same time, the "Wind" had assisted the "Fire". Different from the usual small tricks he usually played around with, Wang Zheng was seriously trying to allow the 2 different powers to merge.

Instantly, a spinning fire vortex appeared. This wasn't a problem of 1 plus 1 equaled to 2 but a composite Ability X. It could also be considered as superposition or resonance.

Wang Zheng was also shocked at how terrifying the stacking of powers was. The next moment, Wang Zheng suddenly realized a serious problem.

Oh damn, this was the dormitory.

Rumbling…

Boom…

The glass in the room shattered and the fire dragon exploded… Student Wang was dumbfounded. It was just the first day of school and he had already severely damaged public property. This would only make his life more difficult.

Student Zhang Shan was topless and was surfing the internet. He had just finished exercising and had finished bathing when he looked narcissist-ly at himself in the mirror for 5 minutes.

"Che. How could I not have a girlfriend when I am so handsome? Others have said that the genes of the next generation will be better if the parents are further apart genetically. There are a lot of beautiful ladies from the Hail Cloud Empire. However, the girls from there are too cold. It might be cooling during the summer, but it would be hard to last through the winter. The Astina Federation is still better as the girls are passionate and sexy. We could try out different interests. Hahaha." Zhang Shan was uploading his own picture and related information to the school's webpage.

Wang Zheng was too lucky with the girls, and an ordinary person couldn't compete with him. It wouldn't be practical for beautiful girls to come by on their own and he would need to make his own moves if he wanted to be well-fed and well-clad in this aspect.

At this moment, the doorbell had rang.

Zhang Shan was shocked. Could it be that beautiful girls had come looking for him?

He rushed excitedly to open the door. There was a black, charcoal-liked person standing at the door…

"Who are you? Which planet are you from? I'm not interested in aliens. Eh, you look just like a blackened beggar that also looks a bit like Wang Zheng!" laughed Zhang Shan.
