Chapter 729: Killer on the X Power Rankings

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

In response to the question, he let out an angry roar!

It wasn't that he did not want to speak. Rather, his lungs had almost completely collapsed now. He could not summon up the strength to move his vocal chords in complicated ways. All he could do was bellow. Convenient, and direct.

As a fighter, even if he had to die, he would die on the battlefield. In this world, not everybody had the chance to realize their dreams.

Perhaps one day, there would be no more orphans in this world.

Perhaps…

His opponent came again.

A nameless small fry, fighting to the death on this dirty floor, with a crazed look in his eyes, completely enthralled by the lure of money and excitement.

"I am the Terminator. This name will echo throughout the whole of Mars!" He announced his name, and gave another confident roar. He was cheering himself on. This demon in a mask had left his last nine opponents only with serious wounds. That was why he had chosen to fight right now. Besides, he saw his chance. The demon's strength was running out…

Lie Guang smiled. Once upon a time, a character like this would be demolished with a flick of his finger without him even looking. This kind of guy… He expected as much. This small-scale arena would only have small fry. Perhaps he was the same as him. Perhaps he had all kinds of stories living with him.

But in the instant that they stood on the battleground tougher, they were destined to be enemies.

The 10th one.

Lie Guang roared and rushed forward, the demon's guise masking his feelings. But midway, he felt the energy leave his body. The drug's effects were over, and immediately he became weak and powerless.

The crowd was cheering intensely, but suddenly it was replaced by even more frenzied curses. They threw things at him, and spat at him.

Lie Guang was pinned to the floor by his opponent. Punch after punch rained down upon his head. The mask cracked. His opponent had gone berserk now. He wanted to break his opponent apart. This was an underground arena! Only a match of life and death could happen!

Crack!

It was the sound of bone breaking.

Nobody looked at the person being beaten up. There were only curses and hoots. Lie Guang had a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Lie Xin flared up. Her entire body was pulsating with fire.

Why!

Nobody could answer her.

Lie Guang slowly lost consciousness. He always knew he would die someday, but he never thought it would be like this. Where would he go after he died? He had no idea.

Lie family, I've paid all my debts.

A tear rolled down from the corner of Lie Guang's eye, and everything faded with the wind.

The tears were pouring down Lie Xin's face as well. These were Lie Xin's first tears in her life. As the Lie family heir, she had always wanted to tell people that even a girl could lead Mars.

Was this the price?

The Lie Flame Technique overflowed. Within Inferno was a raging, killing, explosion.

"Tell them. I want everybody in the arena. No exceptions." Lie Xin's voice chilled them to the bone.

Lie Xin left, not once did she look at Odin.

Once Lie Xin left, an old man walked out. It was the Lie family leader, and the real leader of Mars.

In truth, this had not escaped their control, otherwise, Lie Guang could not have even left. Some things did not need to be purposefully planned. Given their understanding of human nature, they knew what would happen.

The old man and Odin did not say anything. At their age, they were not easily moved by such things anymore. For the Lie family and the Sage Sect to have come this far, there was no way back now. They could only go forward. Otherwise, they and their followers would be lost.

Only, they did not think that Lie Guang would really do it.

The old man recalled events 20 years ago. They had brought Lie Guang back from the orphanage. After so many years, from then till now, he had never even hugged him once.

He had never cared about him, not even once.

Such a sacrifice was not the first, and would not be the last. As a person in power, this was just another event. Otherwise, the Lie family would not have the power it had today.

Odin left without a word. He had known this would happen, but he had not stopped it. As the Sage, he understood fate better than others, but in truth, he was the biggest fool.

Back in the room, Odin discovered a letter on the table. Lie Guang had left it to him, because he was the "half a person" he had referred to.

"Mentor, your disciple is grateful that he could become your disciple. Your disciple was useless, and a disappointment. But in the end, your disciple did not lose face for the Sage Sect. If there is another life, your disciple would still like to be a Martian, and to be your disciple again. Only, I hope that in the next life, I can live for myself."

Odin despaired. The room fell into darkness. From then on, the Sage announced that it would close from the world, and would never take a hand in matters of Mars again.

And in a small-scale underground arena somewhere on Mars, arson was happening. More than 500 people inside died with no exceptions… And from the inferno, witnesses said they thought they saw somebody walk out…

News from faraway Mars had not reached Earth. And nobody knew. It was almost like this person called Lie Guang had never existed before.

Wang Zheng had helped Yao Ailun complete his counter attack. The pitiful Yao Ailun had really turned from small fry to big shot. Now, everybody chased him around, interviewing him. It was even worse in school. He had enjoyed some small fame, and now was a star.

Conversely, now Wang Zheng and Chen Xiu were free and unhindered. The school had also arranged for a whole series of activities, of course under the direction of Xiao Fei. Ailun would contribute greatly to promoting the school, and he had no objections.

Of course, many people were pestering Yao Ailun about how he knew such big names, and why he had not publicized them before. Yao Ailun played it cool. After all, who didn't have a few talented friends?

Clearly, everybody knew that Yao Ailun had only done this because of Mu Guang's repeated taunts. The public was satisfied. He was new, but could hold his temper. Super Ailun Cool was clearly something else.

The CT company was striking while the iron was hot as well. They signed a huge contract with Yao Ailun, and Ailun announced that half of the earnings would be donated to Old Deer's charity foundation, to help change orphans' living conditions.

Because of this, what Old Deer had always been doing finally came to light. Who would have known that the Old Deer, nicknamed "Poison Tongue", would be quietly raising a group of orphans? They finally understood why it was that Old Deer liked milk so much.

Suddenly, Old Deer and Yao Ailun were the center of attention. But Old Deer had disappeared, low-profile. He simply said that he was half-retired, and only occasionally did whatever. The rest was up to Yao Ailun.

Wang Zheng was staying at Xiao Fei's. Was he Xiao Fei's toy student…?

It felt strange, but Xiao Fei did host people quite regularly. Teachers, especially those from the lab, would often have meetings at her place.

It was simple. On one hand, a change of environment helped to change their thinking. Also, the principal had a nice place.

Mars and the rest were old friends of Wang Zheng, but there were many new additions to the team. All of them were talents, and they were all very surprised that there was actually a guy staying with the principal.

Xiao Fei was brazen as well. She seemed unbothered, and also unconcerned about gossip.

On one hand, she wanted to introduce the current core research team of KING Company to Wang Zheng. On the other hand, she also wanted them to know Wang Zheng. Xiao Fei also wanted to gradually fade away from the company. That KING's program had come this far had already realized her dreams. And the business aspect of it was not something she wanted to chase. She wanted to focus and throw her energies into research and the management of the school. She hoped to turn Ares College into an elite school in the Milky Way.

And as for the financial work, she would leave it to Marcus and the professional business team.

Wang Zheng had initially intended to stay at the school for a while more. There had been all sorts of interruptions since he was back. They still had not had a proper reunion, and that guy Zhang Shan had disappeared without a trace since he was back. It looked like he was sequestered somewhere with another girl again.

News had come from Tita Star. Something problematic had come up. Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu had cooked up a show that had opened the way for the first step of Tita Star's development. And the last time had indeed exposed some of those in hiding. Mu Sen and Lan Ling's reveal of their weakness had also been premeditated. The name of Wise Man that Mu Sen had was no hollow brag.

Therefore, Wang Zheng was at most going over for a short holiday to see his friends again. But recently, something big was happening. There was a serial murder of giants happening.

Some were in the human cities, while some were in Tita's slums. The killer was unpredictable and left no traces, and said to possess some camouflage abilities.

Most importantly, Rara Durai was injured. This was the most serious. Rara Durai held the matured power of the Titan. For someone to seriously wound him, and then leave calmly was unbelievable.

But that person was indeed feeling carefree. And leaving Rara Durai alive had not been because of a lack of ability, but rather that the motive was different. The common saying among assassins was that "A head without cost is not worth taking."

And in a few major cities, word of a devil was spreading. Messages were left, calling the exchange between Tita people and humanity 'against heaven's will', and would result in the destruction of Tita Star. Clearly, someone with an agenda was behind this.

The Lan family and the Tita people were all trying to catch the killer, but Tita Star was just too vast, and they had not the slightest lead. The people pursuing were often killed as well, and Lan Ling and the rest were not sure what to do. It was also the most crucial phase of development, and if they could not even guarantee the safety of their investors, who would dare to come?

"Zisu, does the other side have mecha?"

"Yes, but it's not used every time. The problem is that we don't know how he could bring a mecha in. According to an eyewitness, this type of mecha is not common, and has some shapeshifting or camouflage ability. I'm unable to determine if it is an ability X or a mecha ability." Ye Zisu said.

Seeing Ye Zisu's expression, Wang Zheng knew that things were worse than he had imagined.

"What does Mu Sen have planned? What other responses are there?" Wang Zheng asked.

"Elder Mu Sen has mobilized the giant army. They must move as squads, but 2 of the search parties vanished. They were dead when found. The opponent is clearly someone uncommon." Ye Zisu said. "Besides, because this is a recent problem, some countries are offering to send troops to help preserve security and apprehend the criminal."

Wang Zheng understood what Mu Sen and Lan Ling were worried about. At present, Tita Star was a tasty steamed bun, but in honesty its military might was insufficient. It was unknown who had sent the killer. It could have been a competitor from the past, or any country. The scope was too broad, but the only way was to apprehend the killer. It was easy to invite people in, but not easy to get them to leave. If foreign military entered, it would be difficult to maneuver from then on. Besides, Tita Star would also lose bargaining power. Now, more than 10 countries had already sent offers. This was a real mess.

The entire affair had blown out of Mu Sen's expectations. He had not expected that after dealing with internal affairs, such a thing would happen.

This killer was very professional, choosing sensitive times and targets. Besides, Tita Star was a confluence of great powers. When all was peaceful, nothing happened, but now everyone was eyeing the prize, and wanting a bite of the apple.

"I'll leave tomorrow." Wang Zheng said.

"Alright! We'll wait for you!"

"Zisu, you all must be careful too. Don't get careless. This could be a commercially motivated ploy." Wang Zheng said.

Ye Zisu smiled slightly. "Don't worry. We're being very careful about access."

When Rara Durai had been wounded, the opponent had not been using a mecha. This meant the killer's ability was top class. With a mecha, destroying 1 or 2 giant squads would be only too easy. Tita Star was still counted as a primitive planet. Urbanization was low. Given the wide space, and with enough ability X, entry could not be stopped easily.

But such a person was not common even in the entire Milky Way.

Knowing that things were going down on Tita Star, Wang Zheng could not sit still. Xiao Fei did not object either. She had wanted Wang Zheng to stay for a few more days.

"You be careful too. Don't just charge forward without a clear head." Xiao Fei was a little worried. After becoming the Ares College principal, her privileges had been vastly different as well. She had the clearance to understand some things related to IG. She had initially thought that Wang Zheng and the rest were not as risk-prone, but that was not something a scientist like herself could understand. It was a life-or-death decision, and privately Xiao Fei did not understand or approve of Wang Zheng's choice. Why did he have to choose such a dangerous profession? Even as a military school student, there were many safe options in this day and age. But Wang Zheng just had to choose the dangerous path. Only, Xiao Fei knew that, no matter her status, she would not be able to stop him.

"Noble principal, please don't worry. I won't shame you." Wang Zheng smiled. Although he did not have many things, but he still needed to pack a little. The way things looked, this killer was at least an Earth Grade in Elite Academy's hierarchy.

One had to know that clashing and murder were completely different things. An Earth Grade expert hiding in the shadows to execute a stealth attack was hard to imagine. But their advantage depended on fate, luck, and people. Going head on was not an option.

Wang Zheng could not relax. More importantly, he was worried about the opponent's mecha. How had it come in, and why could it not be traced? From Jiang Feng, he had seen the ability X leaderboard. Some were in the Milky Way, but some walked in a darker world… These were unbelievably strong and frightening presences. He was now very worried for the safety of Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu. The killer's standard might be at that quality. If it was true, then, given Tita Star's current situation, they were defenseless.

Chapter 730: Danger on Tita

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

When Wang Zheng arrived on the Titan Star, all was quiet. Although the surface of Tita Star did not appear to have changed much, but there was much internal disorder. The patrols in the city had increased.

After leaving Tita Star for some time, Wang Zheng was still familiar with the place. Lan Ling and the rest were overjoyed that he had come. In fact, even Lan Ling and Mu Sen did not know that Wang Zheng was here to help with their problems.

"Elder Mu Sen, how is Rara Durai's condition? Bring me to him, please." Wang Zheng wanted to confirm Rara Durai's situation. Mu Sen and Lan Ling had thought that Wang Zheng was here on holiday, but in the present circumstances, nobody was really in the mood.

"Follow me, then. His wounds are strange. They don't look that serious, but they haven't healed." Lan Ling frowned as she said. The opponent had been clear in delivering a wound that humanity's medical prowess could not heal. It created a sense of terror. After all, Rara Durai was the emblem of Tita Star.

"Is there more detailed data?" Wang Zheng asked.

"We collected some things recently. Let me send them to you. But rest assured, we have our ways to deal with it." Lan Ling forced a smile.

"Lan Ling you're treating me as an outsider? I only know the gist of things. Let's take a look at Rara Durai first, then we'll talk."

The Tita people and Lan family's ability was considerable, but still far from the rapidly developing Milky Way Alliance.

The ride arrived at the hospital. Mechas and giants were patrolling, heavily armed. When Wang Zheng saw Rara Durai, Rara Durai was still in a coma.

"Doctor Carl, please tell Mr Wang Zheng about the current Titan situation."

Wang Zheng's arrival had to be kept as low-profile as possible. Everybody met directly at the hospital. Seeing Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu unharmed, Wang Zheng relaxed a little.

"The Titan's external wounds are not serious, but energy levels are curiously weak. Given our present equipment, checks have come up clean, but he does not wake." Carl was the most famous doctor on Tita Star, but still helpless in such situations. But Mu Sen and the rest did not dare to cast their nets outwards. Titan was the invincible emblem, and if it were known that one had fallen so easily, things would fall into chaos.

Wang Zheng nodded. "Let me take a look."

Carl and the other medical personnel looked towards Mu Sen, and only moved aside on a nod. They were curious as well. Where did this young man come from? Could he heal the sick?

However you looked at it, it did not look so.

Wang Zheng could feel a wave of death caging Rara Durai's body. The opponent's ability was indeed very strong.

Tita Star limited energy and Ability X. Only wind ability could be freely used. Of course, this did not limit those that were super strong. The Primordial Regression Technique entered the 3rd phase, and Wang Zheng had stepped into Tita Star a completely different person.

More accurately, Tita Star was a planet that contained vast amounts of life force, which was why super-gravity energy ore had accumulated. It also had bountiful natural resources. Out of the Minor Cycles, this was a Wood planet. Wood's direct responses were life, wind, lightning, which was why it had given rise to giants, and the Tita civilization.

As for the overpowering Wind advantage, it also stifled the usage of the other affinities, although they did not disappear. Against a true pro, there were ways to avoid this rush and still bring power to bear. Only, such a primitive planet would definitely not attract such pros. Of course, even so, there was still a degree of disadvantage.

Placing his hand on Rara Durai's chest, the Primordial Regression Technique gradually entered his body. The wood ability in Rara Durai formed a protective barrier, protecting Rara Durai's life force.

The external wounds were not the main problem, and Wang Zheng's expression turned grave.

He could basically tell that the killer at least possessed Wood Ability X, and a rarely seen poison element as well.

Such a poison element would not immediately kill Rara Durai, but would slowly sap at him until he died. Such an Ability X attack was not something that the average machine could discover, especially not on the backward Tita Star.

"Wang Zheng, what's the situation?" Mu Sen was the most anxious.

At this moment, the door opened, and a scar-covered giant walked in. "Ada, you must save the Titan General. I'll give my life for it!"

Shan Meng said. As the leader of the imperial guard, he had been useless. He punished himself daily in the way of the Tita people..

"Great Shan Meng, the Great Titan's life is in no danger…" Carl said testily. These giants were brainless.

Wang Zheng smiled slightly. "Rest easy. I came in time. He has been poisoned. The energy is slowly eating away at his life force. The opponent must have planned to use this method to threaten and weaken Tita Star."

Everyone was shocked, except for Mu Sen. Mu Sen seemed to know that such a situation would happen. He gave a gratified smile. "We Tita people have been waiting for your arrival."

"Elder Mu Sen, please ask everybody else to leave the room, and take every precaution. Shan Meng, stay here. We need some time. The situation is tricky." Wang Zheng said.

Mu Sen nodded. Ye Zisu and the rest held back what they wanted to say. Clearly saving Rara Durai was the priority here.

The door close. Carl and the rest were not convinced. Poison?

This was a joke. Was this guy some kind of medium or something?

"Esteemed Mu Sen, this young man is spouting nonsense. In the field of medicine, I'm the authority. The Great Titan…"

"Mr Carl, I know you mean well, but you need not care about this matter from now on."

Mu Sen waved a hand. Mu Sen's governor-general aura had become more severe. After so many years, Mu Sen truly understood humanity now. He knew their strengths and weaknesses. But here, the Tita people did not have these flaws of humanity.

In truth, Mu Sen believed that Wang Zheng had a shot at saving Tita Star, but he did not think that Wang Zheng was omnipotent, especially not in this aspect. As a result, he had not dared to hope for this at all. But when Wang Zheng said he could treat him, Mu Sen believed him without hesitation.

The Tita people judged others differently. At the door, only Mu Sen, Lan Ling, Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu were left. Lan Ling was familiar, but Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu only interacted rarely with Mu Sen, and Mu Sen did not care too much about them.

The giants and mecha guarded outside, to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Shan Meng helped Rara Durai up. Clearly Rara Durai was just too big. Wang Zheng alone would not be able to support him.

This was no ordinary poison, but a very powerful Ability X. Primordial Regression Technique was a super strong technique that controlled the Minor Cycle. This stable ability could suppress that evil energy. It was precisely because Rara Durai had the basic energy that he had imparted that he could still resist. Otherwise, Rara Durai would not be simply in a coma.

But it had to be said that the opponent was fearsome, to be able to wound such a strong Titan to this extent. His Ability X grade must be considerably higher than his own.

Primordial Regression Technique entered Rara Durai's body. Rara Durai's body, which only had the strength to defend itself, felt like it tasted the first drop of dew after a drought. The Titan's body was indeed the symbol of life. Once it received external assistance, it began to resist vigorously.

After the Primordial Regression Technique entered, it began to contest with the opponent's power. The opponent's remnants of power in Rara Durai's body were actually this strong. Ability suppression had to be stronger than the user, but Primordial Regression Technique would not care about this. After all, the user was not present. Although this wave of energy was stubborn, but it could not hold the combined efforts of Wang Zheng and Rara Durai.

Gradually, that invasive pressure that suppressed Rara Durai's strength transformed from an offensive to defensive stance. Wang Zheng's Primordial Regression Technique was the leader of the Minor Cycle, and gradually became familiar to this power's nature.

If Wang Zheng had not entered the 3rd stage of the Primordial Regression Technique, he would have been helpless before this Major Cycle power. But now things were different.

Wang Zheng's Primordial Regression Technique swallowed and digested the opponent's power, also analyzing it.

It was clear that the opponent's ability was definitely B rank and above. The energy quality was rare, and at the same time clear that the opponent did not only have this ability. Although the energy that had spread in Rara Durai's body was a rare Wood type, but if he had not broken through Rara Durai's defenses, such an attack was ineffectual. From the way this ability worked, it would only come into use when the opponent was in a hapless situation. Which meant that the killer had definitely broken through Rara Durai's defenses.

After meeting Old Zhuo, Wang Zheng had begun to realize just how vast the world was. Strong people were everywhere, and one could not underestimate anybody easily.

The opponent's power was indeed stubborn. Even the last vestiges resisted bitterly. Rara Durai's strength had already begun to recover. The Titan life force's recovery abilities were even stronger than imagined. Only, Rara Durai had not yet mastered his own strength, yet alone to use his abilities.

Something had occurred to Wang Zheng. Simply teaching him basic techniques was clearly not enough. With foundations like this, he could be made stronger.

Giant body's composition was very similar to humans, but also different. Perhaps just a 16 Point Technique would be enough.

The remaining energy was stubborn, but could not stand up to the awesome power of Primordial Regression Technique. Although his Ability X rank was inferior to this energy, using sheer brute force, he eradicated the last bit of energy. Such a life-force poison was like a seed, that could germinate at any time.

After Wang Zheng had thoroughly cleansed the poison, six hours had passed. Although this poison had not started out that strong, but this ability's strength was that it would grow silently. Once triggered, it would tap into Rara Durai's own life force to fight against Rara Durai. How could one hope to defeat oneself? As a result, they sank into a coma and waited for death to take them.

If Wang Zheng had not come, things would have gotten troublesome.

When Wang Zheng breathed a huge sigh of relief, some ink-colored balls surfaced from Rara Durai's body, with a foul smell.

"Shan Meng, put Rara Durai down."

"Ada, the Titan is fine?" Shan Meng's look was self-berating. A giant held responsibility and honor as their way of life. His existence was to protect the Titan. But in the end, he was unharmed, while the Titan had almost died.

Wang Zheng smiled. "It's alright now. Tell me about the situation then."

Wang Zheng was in no hurry to let the others in. He wanted to continue observation for a while, and also understand the situation.

Shan Meng recounted the incident of Rara Durai being attacked. The giant had been too careless. They had always felt that the puny humans were not their match. If the opponent was using a mecha, that might have been something, but the opponent had not.

As a result, he had been sneaked up on. Shan Meng had only seen a black shadow. After a brief clash, the enemy had run. Rara Durai has sustained minor wounds, which did not mean much to giants. Scars were trophies of the giants. But Rara Durai had collapsed on the second day, and his condition had began to worsen, while checks had come up empty.

Chapter 731: Definitely a Female

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

When Rara Durai opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Wang Zheng. He smiled. "Ada, am I dead?"

Wang Zheng was exasperated, and rapped him on the head. "If you're dead, and you can see me, doesn't that mean I've kicked the bucket too? You swine. Check yourself and see if there are any more problems."

Rara Durai sat up, and rotated his neck. "Eh, seems like I'm all recovered now. Ada, you've saved me again."

"You punk, you're a feisty one. If you died, Shan Meng would have followed you as well. How many times have I told you that there's always someone stronger? There are strong people abound in the Milky Way, and you can't be careless."

The emotional state of giants, in Wang Zheng's eyes, was just like children.

Rara Durai rubbed his head ashamedly. Titans were only like that in front of Wang Zheng.

"Shan Meng, tell Mu Sen, and put their worries at ease. I need to talk to Rara Durai for a while."

"Yes, Ada." Giants were also simple creatures. Seeing Rara Durai's recovery, Shan Meng immediately leapt up like a child. Only, he was too boisterous, and his head crashed into the ceiling, shaking the entire room.

From outside the door, a cheer erupted.

Wang Zheng wanted to understand the fight details from Rara Durai. Hearing Rara Durai's narrative, Wang Zheng started to get a headache.

In Rara Durai's fight with the opponent, it was not that he could not keep up with the opponent's actions, but that the opponent was consciously testing Rara Durai's strength.

Which meant that Rara Durai's current situation was completely unable to test the opponent's ability.

This was a sticky situation. If such a killer could not be quickly dealt with, then Tita Star would have no rest.

"Ada is here now! I have no worries!" Rara Durai grinned. He was clearly happy, and looked like a big burden was off his mind.

Wang Zheng was not sure whether to laugh or cry. Why were they still fooling around like kids?

But Wang Zheng knew Rara Durai's personality all too well. Tita people were naturally free, and now they had to shoulder too much. The cooperation with humans, to the primitive Tita people, was a burden. This was something that Rara Durai, as a Titan, had to accept whether he liked it or not, and above that, perform well.

This matter needed to be discussed for good with everyone. It had to be prioritized.

In the meeting room, Wang Zheng was introduced to everyone. The good cheer that had ensued from Rara Durai's revival quickly dissipated.

"Boss, are there such monsters in this world?" Yan Xiaosu asked, mouth open in surprise. In his worldview, humans were normal, weak. But in Wang Zheng's introduction, such a cohort of unimaginable monsters actually existed, who could snatch victory and walk out from 10,000 soldiers alive.

"Basically when one reaches the Earth Grade, they're not someone that can be easily defeated by numbers. And this person is at least a Earth Grade. I'm afraid he was not trying to kill Rara Durai, otherwise Rara Durai would not even be alive now." Wang Zheng said.

Mu Sen nodded. "Although we Tita people do not understand humankind's ability X, but I can feel that the life force of Titan is currently fading. The enemy's goal is to strike terror into our hearts, and eventually cow us."

Everybody also understood that Rara Durai's life had been completely in the enemy's hands. When it came, Mu Sen had no choice but to bow to the power. Only, the enemy had slipped up. They still had the ace in the hole, Wang Zheng.

"Boss, since you could disperse the opponent's ability, that means you must be stronger than him. Let's find him and finish him!" Tyrant Su's declaration was full of admiration. From young, he had depended on Wang Zheng in fights. He always rushed in bravely, knowing that someone great had his back.

Wang Zheng shook his head, smiling bitterly. "Although I could undo his ability, but you must know that the caster was not here. That person would be at the top, even in the Elite Academy."

"Then what can we do? Must we compromise?" Yan Xiaosu said blankly. This was completely different from his business world. The opponent did not even play negotiations with you, but went straight for your life. Yan Xiaosu's clever brain had no space to shine.

"Compromising is out of the question. Firstly, we must determine the enemy's identity. Such a set of skills cannot possibly not have a name!"

Wang Zheng said "As long as we know his identity and unique abilities, there must be a way."

Everybody had their weaknesses, otherwise these killers would have ruled the world long ago.

"I'll take care of that." Lan Ling said. The Lan family was not closed off from the world. They had their links with the outside world, and also had their own networks. And this was something that Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu were far from being able to match. This was the inside advantage of aristocrats.

But in fact, the Lan family was nothing much within the Milky Way Alliance.

"Lan Ling, send me a copy of what you have as well. I'll look for some friends to check it out as well." Wang Zheng said. "Everybody, please be careful. We're out in the open, and the enemy is in the shadows."

Everybody nodded. This deserved caution. Such an opponent was even scarier than an army. You had no idea where he was, when he would appear, and who his target was.

"Elder Mu Sen, Lan Ling, the two of you must be especially careful. I think that person must know his plan has failed. He might act again soon." There was much that Wang Zheng wanted to say. Old Zhuo had taught him much. Not just in terms of using ability, but also some tactics to specifically deal with Earth Grade opponents, and these had honed Wang Zheng's perception.

The scariest thing in this world was not the opponent's strength, but that you did not know how much stronger the opponent was.

"Oh, Lan Ling, did you check the entry records? How did the killer's mecha enter?" Wang Zheng asked.

Lan Ling frowned. "I've put someone on it, but there have been no developments recently. Perhaps an inner agent from Tita Star supplied it."

Ye Zisu shook her head. "I've seen that mecha's basic movement and feel. It's a top class standard in the galaxy, and impossible for Tita Star's current technology to produce. It's too unrealistic to say that the opponent has been preparing this for that long."

Ye Zisu's analysis was on point. Tita Star in the past was not worth bringing in such people.

Tita Star's information network was insufficient. This was not something that could be built overnight, but this matter was pressuring Mu Sen and the rest to find a solution.

Tita Star needed to find some real friends in the Milky Way, and in a balanced environment.

As the meeting ended, everyone parted with heavy hearts. Each hurried off to do their own preparations, and Mu Sen could not possibly avoid meeting people. It was precisely at these situations when one could only fortify the guard. Unless the killer would create a public bloodbath?

This was precisely what Wang Zheng was afraid of. He understood that person's strength. Day and night were of no difference to him. The key was in the opponent's goals.

Of course, even the strongest person was still only human. In Tita Star's environment, the penalty against other Ability X was high. Even if the opponent was Earth Grade, he could still act freely.

In the room, Yan Xiaosu was sprawled messily all over the sofa. "Boss, why is it that the more we grow, the smaller we feel? Damn, this outside world is one tough nut to crack.

Although she was a girl, Ye Zisu did not change much. "Wang Zheng, how do you intend to deal with this matter?"

Ultimately, the Tita people had no way out, but they did. If things looked hopeless, they could actually abandon Tita Star.

"Zisu, you wouldn't be thinking of leaving this place, would you? If we leave Tita Star, we'll be back to maggot status." Yan Xiaosu postured belligerently. He was unsatisfied.

"No, even if it was not for these, I would still not abandon Rara Durai and the rest." Wang Zheng shook his head.

"D*mn, I knew you were that type. Right, Lan Ling seems to have some kind of life-debt with you, the kind that one must give one's heart and soul to repay."

Yan Xiaosu teased. He was thick-skinned. If he could not solve it, he would just not think about it.

"How about I bequeath it to you?"

"Sure, sure. We're 2 brothers in this world, there's no you and I." Yan Xiaosu laughed.

"Careful Lan Ling doesn't castrate you." Ye Zisu said.

Tyrant Su shivered. "Girls shouldn't be so cruel, ok?"

"Wang Zheng, if things turn sour, we might still have to retreat. Other things can be earned back when lost, but we only have one life." Ye Zisu was still calm about this. Wealth was outside of her concerns. All she cared about was Wang Zheng. Given another few years, she believed that such a person would not faze him, but Wang Zheng was still young, and had only been at Elite Academy for a semester. As long as he had the space to develop normally, Wang Zheng could have a bright future. In this aspect, Ye Zisu was being completely selfish.

Wang Zheng smiled. He knew both of them cared about him, and he replied kindly. "With the two of you around, I'm unwilling to die as well. But this matter might have a result really soon. Besides, it's not like I'm without my own sources of help."

"That's right. Boss, you must have made friends with many pros at the Elite Academy right? Call up a few to scare that killer to death."

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you think I'm the founder of Elite Academy? And with this person's standard, he would be at the top even in Elite Academy."

If there was a chance of victory, he would ask Zhang Shan and Meng Tian for help. But first, he had to confirm the opponent's identity. If it was really hopeless, he would have to think of something else. If worse came to worst, he might have to ask Butcher for ideas. All he knew up to this point was that everyone in Genesis Coffee looked like a normal person, but each was someone important. Only at the crucial moment would he trouble them.

"Who did you give the information to?" Ye Zisu asked curiously.

"A classmate." Wang Zheng smiled.

"A girl! It must be a girl!" Yan Xiaosu immediately leapt up.

"Tch. How is your nose so sensitive."

"Ha. If it were a guy, you would have said so immediately. I know you!" Yan Xiaosu said smugly.

"Ai Xiaolu, you know her as well. From the Ai Shi Financial Group in the Hail Cloud Alliance. The space program only made it thanks to their intervention." Wang Zheng said. This person was someone that Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu both knew. At that time, they had been strapped for cash. Of course, the Ai Shi Financial Group had made their own tidy sum in the end.

Chapter 732: Heaven

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Ding dong…

As they spoke, the Skylink rang. A projection bloomed, and it was indeed Ai Xiaolu.

"Classmate Xiaolu, let me introduce you. This is Ye Zisu, designer of Wind God. Yan Xiaosu, my childhood friend." Wang Zheng said.

"How do you do, beautiful? Wang Zheng and I grew up in the same pair of pants. We must talk more in the future." Yan Xiaosu was panting up the pole seeing a babe.

Ai Xiaolu had seen many of his kind, and was well equipped to deal with those like Yan Xiaosu. But today, she was in no mood to joke.

"Wang Zheng, how did you get involved with him?"

"I didn't get involved with him, he got involved with me. How did you find out who he was so fast?" Wang Zheng was shocked at Ai Xiaolu's efficiency. Barely any time had passed.

Ai Xiaolu laughed bitterly. "It didn't take much. This person is infamous in the underworld. His nickname is Heaven. A confirmed Earth Grade. And… can be regarded as a senior.

Wang Zheng was taken aback. "How could it be like this?"

"I don't know the secret details, but you know that the X power leaderboards only details the rankings. This guy is in the top 1000, an elite that we completely cannot stand up against. No matter the reason, you had best stay far away from him!"

Ai Xiaolu had no intention of shaking Wang Zheng's confidence. She had seen him in action before, but he was definitely not an equal for a pro of the Earth Grade.

"What's his ability?"

"According to the data I have, it's a rare form of the Wood affinity. He's a high flier, and it's unclear how many abilities he has derived. As a killer famous in the underworld, it's camouflage and bone-eating poison. But you must know that as an Earth Grade expert, this is no small matter."

"Thanks, I got it."

"Wang Zheng, don't be rash. I know you are confident, but you still have a few years to go before you are capable of fighting with the Earth Grade. You have a bright future ahead of you!"

Ai Xiaolu said seriously. Although she had not known Wang Zheng for too long, but she understood his personality all too well. Such characters were seen through easily.

"I know. If I really can't beat him, I will definitely run. I'm no fool." Wang Zheng smiled reassuringly.

Ai Xiaolu knew that such words were useless. "I'll have the relevant data sent to you. You must be careful!"

Ai Xiaolu's words had left the 3 of them looking at each other. The situation as worse than they had expected.

Who was it that had been so "thorough" in inviting such a big shot to Tita Star?

"Lan Ling can give up on checking the mech's origin as well. It won't be found." Wang Zheng said.

Since he had come from Elite Academy, then most had access to space crystals. And no matter how strict the regulation was, Wang Zheng did not believe that none had leaked out, especially to the underworld.

Once the situation had been explained, Ye Zisu and Yan Xiaosu felt like they were living in a completely different world. Why did such a scary group actually exist in the world?

"Wang Zheng, speak up. What's to be done?"

There was not the slightest shred of fear in Wang Zheng's eyes, but instead a burning will for battle. What an opportunity!

But this was something that he could not accomplish alone. But if a certain somebody was willing to land a hand, this could be an interesting hunt.

As for who was hunter and hunted, that remained to be seen.

Seeing Wang Zheng's strange smile, Yan Xiaosu knew that Wang Zheng was going to go crazy. Sigh, in the end, he was just a playmate. But Yan Xiaosu was also thinking. Since Wang Zheng was so confident, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

Ai Xiaolu and Wang Zheng lived in a different environment. Ai Xiaolu's dictionary revolved around the safe and stable. Things that were too dangerous, and unassured gains, were things that Ai Xiaolu would definitely not do. She had been nurtured thus from young. But Wang Zheng had grown up on a completely different trajectory.

Achilles was surprised to hear this news. Wang Zheng had actually come to him?

In truth, the two had come a long way together from IG. Achilles really admired Wang Zheng, only that the Moon people were not too forward. They often cocooned themselves in an elegant shell. Therefore Moon people always kept to themselves.

But when Wang Zheng had taken the initiative, Achilles had felt surprised but pleased.

Titatitan Star, Earth Grade killer, Heaven.

'Milo, check the data on the underworld. Someone called Heaven, should be Earth Grade." Achilles called through to Milo's Skylink. This matter roused his interest.

Wang Zheng had invited him to Tita Star for a thrill. A very fatal game.

And the word fatal deeply attracted Achilles. Spending his days holed up in the abyss did little to satisfy the pride in Achilles' bones.

Earth Grade killer, an invitation from Wang Zheng. These things deeply interested him.

Milo sent the data over quickly.

Heaven, Earth Grade. Ability X ranking within the top 1000, and a A class criminal in the galaxy, with a bounty of 50 million.

Intergalactic criminals were divided into 5 tiers. A rank criminals were pretty much untouchable. These people were elite professionals cloistered in the darkness.

But Milo's data was about the same as Ai Xiaolu's, even slightly less comprehensive.

He had never been to Tita Star before, but he had heard endlessly about that mysterious planet. The energy was unstable, and many energy-type tools could not be used. As for mecha, wind affinity was strengthened, while the other affinities were suppressed.

And Achilles' energy was forcefield control, part of the Major Cycle. Tita Star's conditions might repel his ability, or become an extremely good match.

On this point Achilles was not too worried, because the Heavenly King Arts tended towards the Wind affinity. Training on the Moon was becoming stale. Since Wang Zheng had invited, why not go?

"Lie Xin, I'm borrowing the Mars VIP air route tomorrow. I'm going to Tita." It would take a while for his own people to settle those affairs, but it would be too easy for Lie Xin to just gesture.

After Lie Guang had died, the world had not changed much for anyone else. It was like Lie Guang had never existed before. But to Lie Xin, it was an earth tilting change. The Sage had spoken to her at length before retreating into seclusion. Lie Guang had used his death to awaken Lie Xin's last sense, and understand the true essence of fire. If Lie Xin crumbled, then Lie Guang would have died in vain.

It had to be said that these words had hit the nail on the head. If Lie Xin did not work hard, she would let Lie Guang down.

But Lie Xin was plagued with complex emotions. Logic was logic, but no one understood the feelings between her and Lie Guang. They could not understand her pain.

"Why Tita Star?" Lie Xin's face was unsmiling, completely different from before. But Achilles did not mind her cold manner. He smiled slightly and explained.

Lie Xin was quiet for a while. "I'll go with you."

Achilles was taken aback. "That place is suited to Wind affinity. You…"

Regardless whether it was the Lie Flame Technique or fire ability X, it was not well suited to her.

"I'm going."

"Keke, your wish. Leaving on the dot at 9am tomorrow. Arrange it."

Lie Xin nodded silently. She was dying to leave Mars, to go to a foreign place.

Titatitan Star, Earth Grade killer. Sounded like heaven to her.

Tita Star, outside of the city, was a beautiful forest. There dwelled many beasts unique to Tita Star, and also all kinds of beautiful and interesting flora. Tita Star could support giant life without lacking for food. Some planets suffered from famine after the soil became impoverished, but this had never been a problem for Tita Star. It was a planet infused with life force.

Under the night sky, Tita Star looked even more unique. But presently, these woods housed a danger. A figure was idly watching the night sky, a straw in his mouth.

Who would have thought that this rural place could actually tamper with his ability? The so called titans were just some simple minded 4-limbed humanoids, and not worth attacking. But his mission this time was not to kill, but to terrorize. This left him less than satisfied, but if there was a pro around, then it was a different matter.

The black shadow flicked open the Skylink idly. A namelist appeared. Titan, Mu Sen, Lan Ling, Ye Zisu. Each of the 4 heads were worth 80 million. But now the price was about to increase.

The black shadow smiled, revealing a set of clean white teeth that were especially sinister. Suddenly a shadow appeared in mid air. This was one of the nocturnal predators on Tita Star, but the black shadow waved casually, splitting the beast in two without even a cry.

In the city, Tita Star's curfew had been called off, and it was like nothing had happened.

Against such a pro, there was no need to make a fuss – after all they could not stop him. They must as well tighten defenses only on the crucial factors. Lan Ling was also hiring pros through the Lan family's channels. They could not depend on Wang Zheng alone for these things.

Wang Zheng was not in the slightest bit nervous. It was rare that he had such free time to spend with Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu. Each day he had to help Rara Durai regulate the breath of his body. He had to admit that a titan's body was strangely different. Logically, any normal life force suppressed by such energy for so long would take at least months to recover. But titans were in touch with nature. In 2 days he had more or less recovered. Rara Durai longed to go fight and rumble with Shan Meng. After lying for so long he felt like his body was rusting.

When teaching Tita people, words were useless. One had to directly build with them. The strange thing was that the same method was very difficult for humans, but considerably more successful for giants. At least, Rara Durai was quick on the uptake.

The technique unearthed one's natural ability. Humans had traversed from natural ability to intellect, and then back to natural ability. A bit like seeing a mountain for a mountain, then as something else, then again as a mountain. But the Tita people accomplished it in a step.

This matter had roused in Wang Zheng a fierce desire to build a giant troop, so that Tita Star could at least defend itself in times like these.

Although the galaxy was full of pros, but they were the gems, the result of the accumulation of human civilization's entire developmental process. The Tita people could not compete directly. But just in terms of body conditions, the Tita giants were very, very good.

"Rara, any feeling?" After soothing it once over, Wang Zheng was a little fatigued. It was quite draining.

Chapter 733: Preparing For Every Eventuality

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Rara Durai worshipped Wang Zheng blindly. This adulation had not made him weaker as Titan, but in fact stronger. He felt that Wang Zheng was a reincarnation of his god, guiding him.

That was why when Wang Zheng wanted anything done, Rara Durai would always put in his 200% trust and carry it out, to astonishing results.

When Rara Durai opened his eyes, he had been emitting a silver light from his eyes. His body was ensconced by the sighs of wind and lightning, and there had been a slight rumble of thunder.

"Ada, I feel like my body is charged with strength. And… It seems like something outside is trying to befriend me. I feel the Tita Star, the motherly presence."

Rara Durai's huge eyes were actually shimmering with tears.

Wang Zheng was shocked too. He had not thought that Rara Durai would have such positive reception to his techniques. This was wonderful.

Rara Durai groveled even lower. "My gratitude to Ada for bestowing strength upon me. I will defend the Tita Star!"

Wang Zheng could see no way out of Rara Durai's adoration. He knew that this great lump depended on himself. He patted Rara Durai's huge head. "Remember the feel of this technique. Choose those talented and loyal warriors among the giants to teach and build a team. Tita Star will definitely face even more challenges in the future. I cannot always be here, and you still have to overcome some hurdles yourself. Also, my friends are here, and you have to protect them."

"Ada…" Giants were not good at words. Rara Durai did not think that a stupid and weak being like himself would receive so much trust from Ada.

In the Tita people's world, the fighter that lost had already become the weak one. As the Titan, yet so easily defeated, the position should by right be given to the victor. But that victor was not of Tita, but some monster.

"That killer will definitely return. You must work hard these few days, and aim to give that guy a surprise!"

"Yes, Ada. Can you teach Junior Shan Meng personally?" Rara Durai asked. Among the Tita giants, there would be an endless stream of people challenging Rara Durai, but Shan Meng would always stand on Rara Durai's side. He hoped that Shan Meng could also have such a chance.

Wang Zheng nodded. "Off with you."

"Yes, Ada!" Rara Durai excitedly left. Wang Zheng was also surprised. He had not expected to have such powers after achieving the 3rd breakthrough on Primordial Regression Technique. His imparting of skills had become even more thorough, and Tita Star's situation meant that his analytical skills could not be affected.

The previous way had its flaws. After all, the greatest influence on Tita Star was still the basic 5 abilities, but the rumor had spread and spread.

In these few days, Wang Zheng was not sitting idle as well. Any law could be used, especially in the natural world. Tita Star had its own unusual law, and he was afraid that it hid some greater power. And to Wang Zheng, who controlled the Minor Cycle, it would be foolish if he could not tap into this power. To cross paths with an Earth Grade killer, he had to use his brain.

That Achilles was coming was good news. With the addition of Rara Durai and Shan Meng, there was a chance against this killer called Heaven. All that was left was to look for a good chance and place.

In the last few days, everyone had been lying low, in order not to give the killer opportunities.

And Heaven had wanted to immediately show his colors, but found that his main targets were all squirreled away. No point forcing the issue, unless you were crazy or had a death wish. Facing that bullet storm was death.

And although Heaven could not simply pack up and leave after that lone move, but he believed that these people could not stay hidden forever. Tita Star was an important location, and they had to make appearances. This would only increase anxieties, and they would eventually have to show themselves. So he was not worried. Tita Star's girls were nothing special, but the alcohol was great, especially the Tita giant's own brew. That jug, that bowl, just looking at them gave him a sense of satisfaction.

After a full week, Tita Star was current experiencing a storm. In that period, there had been no calm. The only one who went out to deal with the outside world was Mu Sen, but he brought the heaviest protection with him, and made requests of his correspondents, even some that were rather unreasonable. Some of the ambassadors were unhappy, but these were ignored by Mu Sen.

Given Tita Star's current important position, stubbornness just had to be accepted.

Arbiter and Manalasuo were the most concerned. They wanted to take care of Tita Star's safety in this period, and also to build up Tita Star's military. It was the same old rhetoric. But once this balance was tipped, Tita Star's superior position would also disappear.

Mu Sen must have used every trick in his diplomatic book to tide over these.

And at this time, Achilles arrived.

Wang Zheng was surprised. Besides Achilles, Lie Xin had come as well. Only, he immediately saw that Lie Xin was being very clearly reserved, even filled with a killing energy.

"Lie Xin, you're here too?" Wang Zheng smiled, glancing at Achilles.

Achilles shrugged irritably. "I was only passing by Mars to reach more quickly, but Miss Lie here wanted to join the party."

Clearly Achilles had already felt some scary changes in Lie Xin on the journey here.

Among the few of them, Lie Xin was the weakest. Women's bodies were not suited to Lie Flame Technique. This problem had been exacerbated at the end. At that time, Achilles had been curious as to what the Lie family had been thinking. They clearly knew this, yet still proceeded. Now the suspicions were thrown open. Clearly, the Lie family had anticipated this way in advance.

But Lie Xin's breakthrough had some horrifying implications.

The Lie Xin now was not the warm character she had been. Looking about her, she took a breath, and suddenly her hands roared with fire. "This is Tita Star? It's not what I heard it was."

Her words dripped with murderous intent. Wang Zheng and Achilles exchanged glances. They had both clearly felt the affinity suppression of the planet, but Lie Xin's power was completely unaffected.

"Hmph. Just a Wood affinity planet that brags of itself so much. Wood feeds fire. As long as I am strong enough, I can bring forth even stronger power. Where is the killer? Bring him out, I'll kill him!"

Wang Zheng was stunned. Although he could feel Lie Xin's power, but an Earth Grade expert was nothing to be taken lightly.

"Follow me first. We need to prepare. The opponent's Wood ability is nothing to take lightly. And I fear a connection with Elite Academy." Wang Zheng said.

Lie Xin did not flare up in the end, and Achilles' smile was firmly fixed on his face. As the heir to an ancient family, perhaps the pressure here was stronger for others, perhaps even helplessly so. But to those from an ancient ancestry themselves, this was nothing mysterious. They merely confirmed if they were of a sufficient level to deal with it.

And Wang Zheng himself only understood this logic after entering the 3rd stage of the Primordial Regression Technique. Lie Xin had broken through the moment she arrived. All he could say was that the Lie family inner workings, and her recent terrifying breakthrough, was mad through and through. He just had no idea what she had been through.

Neither Wang Zheng nor Achilles were the nosy kind. If Lie Xin did not say, they would not ask either. Lan Ling had already arranged the accommodations, and now that they were all present, the next step would be to find a suitable opportunity to lure Heaven out.

It was clear that Heaven preferred not to use a mech if he could. Although the mech's capabilities were strong, but it was inconvenient. To these killers who lived in the shadows, exposure was to be minimized.

And Wang Zheng and the rest did not want to fight against such a mecha as well, so both sides were in agreement on this. It just remained to be seen who was predator and who was prey.

Wang Zheng had found two helpers, and Lan Ling had also searched for professionals through her connections. Among Tita, there were also such experts, and she had also specially hired a large host of mercenaries from the neighboring planets.

Now what needed to be discussed was the plan of action.

Current location, Menlo City, a place that foreigners loved. It specifically catered many favorable policies, and was a city pushed to be set up by Tita Star. The hired mercenary group S-X was placed here.

Fusheng Bar. The mercenaries were currently enjoying themselves to the fullest. Tita Star had hired them at great cost, for their towering reputation. As long as they finished this single mission, their status would rise again, and future business would only increase.

Chapter 734: Seeking Advantages in Trouble

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

"Boss, the Tita Star is so rich. Isn't only asking for 500,000 too generous?"

"Monkey, what do you know? Brother here has foresight. With this bodyguard mission, we will still eat well in the future. Besides, it's not like the Tita Star will lack for assignments in the future."

"But, that Heaven guy sounds like a real expert. I heard he's a A-class criminal. Isn't the risk too high?"

"Dog, if we were to take cases, it would definitely be S-class criminals. What's an A-class? You're too naïve. What Heaven, isn't he just a scaredy-cat who doesn't dare to show his face? If he did, we would finish him."

"Haha, King Kong, you wouldn't be thinking of doing him yourself, would you? With that tone of yours."

"You lot just don't know the appeal of guys. Maybe this Heaven is some petite young lad. The name already sounds so delicate, he must be firm and plump. If he falls into my hands, I'll ensure he goes to heaven."

The mercenary blustered loudly and coarsely, but his face was covered with makeup, his hands clasped in a comical Buddha pose. The mercenaries were used to it already, but the other customers were disgusted. Just one look at this bunch and they knew they were nobody to be messed with.

Just as he spoke, a terrifying scene ensued. The mercenary called King Kong still had a horrific grin on his face, but his entire head had flown off, spraying blood.

The entire bar had erupted into chaos. In the dark, a shadow was darting back and forth, as though dancing oblivious to the commotion. To an upbeat tune, the brains were sent flying one by one.

The world was finally quiet.

When Lan Ling heard the news, she was shocked as well. Mu Sen had an important opening ceremony at Menlo City, and he had to be present. That was why the mercenary group had been sent over first, and also for them to familiarize themselves with the environment. In the end, the 12 officers of the mercenary group had all been killed before Mu Sen had even reached. Each had their brains carved out.

It was a scene of no resistance.

At this moment, Lan Ling believed Wang Zheng's words. This opponent was not someone that sheer numbers could overcome. Once they reached that level, normal people were like harmless lambs.

Mu Sen had never underestimated the humans. But previously, they had only seen witnessed the horror of a collective army, but he had not thought that an individual terrorist could develop to this level as well.

In these few days, Wang Zheng spent most of the time teaching Rara Durai and Shan Meng. Achilles was taking in the Tita Star situation with interest, as well as the current developmental needs. It was clear that the Moon was also fairly interested in this program, although Achilles had not made any requests. This was also the pride in the Moon people's bones, as though they did not care about anything.

Lie Xin had beaten Rara Durai's entire imperial guard soundly, and the giants finally understood why the humans always said that women were the demons.

Wang Zheng and Achilles also knew that something must have happened with Lie Xin. They wanted to ask, but did not know how to broach the topic. Wang Zheng could only let Shan Meng and the rest accompany Lie Xin to "let out her feelings". It also helped to toughen up those guys.

In the meeting room, Jasper was a little restless. To a businessman like him, earning money was secondary. His life was more important. And businessmen were familiar with the underworld. The name of Heaven was well known. If he did not handle this well, his future business would be affected. More importantly, he did not know who the puppet master was.

He had also used his connections to check. Through this cooperation, the Tadinger group would definitely not give up on it. All he had done on Tita Star had given him many bonus points. As long as he could handle this program well, he could be in charge of the entire Tadinger group in the future. The rest would be unable to compete. Not just any heir from a large stakeholder could ascend. No one was willing to hire a professional manager, and one could only stand in the circle once they held their own authority.

"Brother Yan, is there any guarantee in this business? I heard that the Titan has been seriously wounded and cannot recover?" Jasper had returned to Lya Sphinx to manage the future investments, but had hurriedly rushed back after hearing this news.

Yan Xiaosu sucked in his stomach, which was indeed growing a little. "What's your worry? It's never easy to do great things. Who cares whether it will be heaven or hell? Even if a dragon makes its way here, we still have to hold ground."

"Keke, Brother Yan, you might not know, but this Heaven is an elite killer even in the killer world. He has never failed a single contract before, and I hear that the mercenary group that Lan Ling hired has already been completely eliminated."

Jasper drew a line across his throat.

"With that kind of cowardice, how do you even run a business? As long as your brain is working fine, there's no need for worry. That mercenary group was just to fool the opponent. Isn't it just an Earth Grade guy? Even if a Heaven Grade guy came, we still gotta make sure his journey is a one-way trip!"

Yan Xiaosu said calmly.

Yan Xiaosu's words had again mollified Jasper. A professional speech. He had thought that Yan Xiaosu did not understand the opponent's ability, but he apparently did not even see him as worthy of consideration…

"As for you, just focus on doing what you are told to. Don't cry and fuss over everything. All will be well in a few days."

Jasper had been used to this after the precedents. Each time things had seemed hopeless, Yan Xiaosu had always risen to the occasion. This had engendered great confidence in Jasper. He clearly knew how strong an Earth Grade was, and must have done his preparation.

But how could he prepare…

He also did not know. Once at this level, he could not simply be hired with money. The underworld had its own laws, just like them. But such a nucleus of power was not one that he could harness.

An Earth Grade expert… Could such people actually exist?

But one thing was for sure, was that the Titan was definitely fine, otherwise Yan Xiaosu would not be so calm.

"How do you see it?" Lie Xin asked while examining the corpses.

Achilles smiled slightly. "From this wound, it's clearly not a blade, and also not pure energy. It looks like some very thin object, perhaps like a steel string."

"Soft weapon."

"This person is not only good at mecha, but his killing technique has been painstakingly refined. The effectiveness is very high."

Achilles was not just an average student. Conversely, he had come into contact with such things from a young age, and had seen all kinds of killing techniques.

The thing was, the Lie family was the same. Even Lear – these ancient traditional families were not the kind to sit and grow potted plants.

Success lay at the end of a road of cruelty.

The 2 of them could basically imagine that, in an instant, more than 10 heads would be flying. The opponent's ease and control over the entire battlefield was indeed intimidating.

Once in the Earth Grade, regardless of the person's martial arts, the physical skills would be considerable.

"Do you think Wang Zheng has changed a lot?" Lie Xin suddenly asked a curious question.

Achilles nodded. "Ever since returning from the abyss, his aura has changed greatly. I think his cultivation technique must have had great improvement, although I have no idea which school he inherited his cultivation technique from. But I don't think it is any weaker than ours."

"Earth has always had many lines. That's Lear's biggest headache."

"And you too. The change is big. I didn't want to ask, but if you continue like this, the 3 of us are destined to die here." Achilles said uncharacteristically.

Lie Xin looked at Achilles. "Lie Guang is dead."

Without saying anything else, Achilles already understood. As a family with an ancient art, Lie Xin's Lie Flame Technique had broken free of the bottle neck, and perhaps had come to more secrets. Only, he had not thought Lie Xin would be so direct. This must mean that Lie Xin herself could not accept it.

With the big battle imminent, Wang Zheng's mood was unusually good. The recent imparting of the Primordial Regression Technique had left him especially happy as well, as though he could feel the danger.

Because Wang Zheng could already feel that the opponent had shown himself.

He was simply looking for a chance to strike. And the opponent must know of them as well. At that level, it was impossible to completely hide way, but Wang Zheng could only feel the opponent's presence, and was unable to see more. This was the difference in their level.

But the opponent probably did not know that they knew of his presence, which was an advantage.

But all experts made the same mistake, which was to think that everything was within their control. And in such a repressive situation, Wang Zheng found the possibility to improve. From the start, Bonehead's training methods had been uncommon. He had been forced into revelations when nearing death. In the Rubik's cube, the idea of life and death did not exist. Now, they were outside the cube, but Wang Zheng could not change his own method of improvement. The more risky, the more his life was on the line, the more it was so.

And now, what Wang Zheng wanted was for Achilles and Lie Xin to protect the rest, while he went to face this Heaven alone.

Because he knew that this time, Heaven had not come alone.

He had to ensure that Ye Zisu and the rest were safe. To him, that would be the fatal thing.

One in the light, and one in the shadows. 2 killers. The opponent had indeed paid a heavy cost.

Elite Academy.

Lear had just come out of the mecha design lab. This was his super-class runic mecha. He would definitely be involved in the entire process. A customized mecha was like a second life.

He would use this holiday to master the networks of Elite Academy well. The mentors, the school administration, the students.

But this did not mean that his ears were not pricked. That Achilles and Lie Xin had gone to Tita Star, and at Wang Zheng's behest, made Lear extremely unhappy.

Why?

Tita Star was now a troubled place. Honestly, Lear always wanted to persuade Achilles and Lie Xin to conquer the Solar System with him. Then, he could use the power as a fist to conquer the Milky Way. But Achilles and Lie Xin were of a different mind.

Tita Star was already chaotic enough. Then he would add fat to the fire. He would make sure they stayed there forever. He had heard the scenery was not bad there.

Since he could not use them, then he must seize the opportunity to eliminate them.

In Elite Academy, Lear saw a bigger world. And the hidden secret powers of the Chronos family had fanned the flames of Lear's ambition. He ultimately believed that his own power was the nucleus. As the king, he did not need to take to the battlefield. He would use other methods to accomplish his aims.

Chapter 735: War on Three Fronts

He really wanted to figure out how Wang Zheng and the rest were able to survive the attempts of the Earth Grade assassin.

It only costed an additional 50 million to kill three more. What a steal.

Basking under the sunlight, Lear's smile was especially bright. To him, the world seemed like a chessboard with pieces that he could fiddle around with to his whim and fancy. This was all due to his inheritance. His power had been hidden rather well by the old man, and even till now it remained concealed. However, as his power started to increase, he began to gradually expose more of it. Lear was not anxious at all, for he wanted to enjoy this process of becoming king. From start to end, everyone else was merely the supporting cast to his story. He was fated to become the king of a new generation – a generation started by his very own hands.

In order to be acknowledged for his power and obtain total domination, he still had to put up a good performance. He had to perfectly demonstrate the special qualities he possessed as the successor to the throne. No one would even be able to come close.

In Menlo City, the inaugural trade conference for the Tita Super Gravity Energy Ore was having its grand opening.

Ambassadors from various embassies all began to arrive. Large corporations from related industries were in attendance as well. The conference this time was to be the first chapter in the development of the Tita Star's Super Gravity Energy Ore.

This was undoubtedly an event of great significance. As a representative himself, governor Mu Sen was naturally obliged to attend. Recently, TitaTitan Star was not exactly in a peaceful state, so security was fairly strict at the venue. After all, nothing untoward could happen to the attendees at this event, for one careless misstep could easily lead to an international-scale incident occurring.

At this point of time, Lie Xin and Achilles were dressed as staff members. Lie Xin's presence still attracted a large amount of attraction. Beauty Lie was indeed remarkably attractive while dressed in the staff uniform.

One would assume that Achilles's personality meant that he would not be able to pull the look off, but Achilles was surprisingly more invested than Lie Xin. Lie Xin was a little too cold as a staff member, whereas Achilles, despite being handsome, wore an Superly professional smile on his face that was even sycophantic to some extent.

This was a very festive day for the people of Tita, so a majority of them liked to organize large events on this day. Organising some large event would also serve to disperse the haze of misfortune that shrouded TitaStar recently. Mu Sen hosted the mining conference while Lan Ling paid a visit to the media events of the strategic partners of Little Lucky Star Tita Investment Company.

On the other hand, the Titan Rara Durai organized a Giant's Brawl on this day.

This plethora of activities served as a retort against the recent terrorist events.

Similarly, Titan Rara Durai's unscathed appearance also helped to quash some rumors regarding the Titan sustaining heavy injuries and being close to death.

A mighty Titan was definitely the symbol of strength for the people of Tita. Additionally, the Titan's attitude was also a key factor in the current preservation of peace and stability on Tita Star.

Only a few people in the know could not help but be worried – what exactly were the thoughts of the Tita people?

The reality of the situations was that things had clearly been a mess recently. The feared assassin was still around – and they were not working alone. There was not enough time to hide from them, for they actually split up before making their approach. It was clear that on this day, trouble would befall one of these three places. All that remained to be seen was whether the target would be Mu Sen, Rara Durai or Lan Ling.

The mantra of always being prepared did not really apply much to experts. As long as they showed their face, they would be in life-threatening danger.

At this moment however, the main character Wang Zheng had disappeared.

The preparations at the three venues were rather lively. The attendees all acted like it was no big deal, but many were waiting in excitement.

Peace was not easily attainable. The moment that the Super Gravity Ore was discovered, Tita Star could no longer remain as the tranquil place it once was. If not for the Milky Way Alliance's current overall stability, the military might of the Milky Way Alliance's government would have resulted in things being far more serious than it presently was. The incident this time would surely have been more than something as simple as a lone assassin.

Mu Sen was all smiles as he shook hands and embraced a group of his "old friends". He became accustomed to these things over time. When it came to the heaven-swaying negotiation skills of mankind, Mu Sen was able to adapt very quickly. Others from Tita would likely have not been able to do the same.

His appearance this time was highly risky, but Mu Sen was actually not afraid of death at all. The people of Tita had a different perception of death than mankind. However, at such a crucial moment for Tita Star, Mu Sen could not afford to die at all costs.

As such, strict precautions were taken to protect Mu Sen. After all, there were ambassadors from many nations present as well. Both the venue and the area surrounding it was full of people, so even if the Earth Grade assassin appeared, it would surely be a path of no return for them. After all, in this era of explosive weapons, people were merely flesh and bone after all.

Furthermore, the assassin was not just a human bomb. He had to finish his assassination objective, yet had to escape alive as well.

As a result, the situation was still considered alright at this moment. However, it was definitely unacceptable to be relaxed.

Lie Xin and Achilles were only set aside for the sake of Wang Zheng's complete plan. In actual fact, when it came to the present situation on Tita Star, it was alright for anyone to be missing except Mu Sen. Nobody else could be as perfect as Mu Sen in coordinating the relations between the people of Tita and mankind. Substituting anyone else in his place would surely lead to a collapse.

"Boss, are we really fine like this?" Yan Xiaosu asked as he crouched. At present he was disguised as one of the sages of Tita. Due to the discrepancy in his height, he had to crouch down.

Wang Zheng laughed, "Nobody asked you to do that."

"Heh, I feel like this would be slightly safer. Cheh, you believe that the assassin would definitely rush towards Rara Durai, but if it was me, I would definitely trouble Mu Sen instead."

"Oh?"

"Think about it, at present Mu Sen would definitely be the most important on Tita Star. In fact, the Titans don't really care about things, and they even have the scariest vibes. If one wanted for things to go smoothly, one should go over to Lan Ling. The shields would definitely be down there – why would they come looking for the Titan?"

Wang Zheng shook his head, "Mu Sen and Lan Ling's side may face some problems as well, but it will not be due to Heaven."

"Could it really be that there are more?"

"Heaven would never kill mercenaries."

"Why? If I was in his shoes and found out that Tita hired mercenaries to kill me, I would definitely find a chance to get rid of them first." Yan Xiaosu did not quite understand.

"Do you think that the Earth Grade experts are just ordinary street goods? These are two groups of people that kill on sight. Nobody really knows who hired Heaven, but despite being an assassin, an expert like him would surely have his own principles and would not easily deviate from his previous modus operandi. On the other hand, the other type would be more likely to loot from a burning house. Out of ten of them, eight or nine of them are likely to be stakeholders in Tita's internal affairs.

"Are you that certain?"

"Nope."

Yan Xiaosu was stunned. Was he for real?

"I'm not a god after all. Judging from the other side's style, they do not seem to want to disrupt Tita's current situation, but want to let Mu Sen reach a compromise instead. If Mu Sen were to die, this would involve the ambassadors from various countries as well, and would heighten things to the level of the Milky Way Alliance. Various empires would intervene, and the one behind these things would certainly not benefit in any way from such a rapid escalation of things."

"You mean to say that from the start of it all the goal of the other side was just to threaten?"

"That's the basic gist of things. As such, Rara Durai would be their first choice. Of course, if a compromise isn't reached, they would probably carry on one after another until the people of Tita concede. I'm afraid that these people tend to be very arrogant. Given that the poison afflicting Rara Durai has been cured, if it were you, what would you do?"

"I would keep getting up every time I fall. Furthermore, perhaps they don't even think that we can deal with them."

"Yep, that's why I believe that they will definitely come here."

"Then why did you still let Lie Xin and Achilles go over there?"

Wang Zheng laughed, "The one who massacred the mercenary squad was definitely not lacking in strength either. Besides, this group of people could be the local tyrants of Tita, so the defense mechanisms put into place may not be that reliable. They are the ones who would lose out if Tita no longer remained in chaos. Perhaps they don't even think that far ahead either. To them, killing anyone else would not be as effective as killing Mu Sen, for as long as Mu Sen stays alive, the people of Tita would never cooperate with them."

Different people would have different ways of reasoning. This was unfortunately the result of the scenario created a while back by Mu Sen and Lan Ling. The one who truly held control over things was certainly not Lan Ling, but was Mu Sen instead.

This was clear to those people as well.

Ordinarily they would definitely not dare to act, but they could take advantage of the recent events involving assassin Heaven and pin it on him instead.

"This was the conclusion that Zisu and I came to after much analysis." Wang Zheng laughed.

"F*ck, you're still so carefree despite knowing that the earth-level experts are coming. The bunch of idiots outside are useless!" Yan Xiaosu anxiously remarked.

Wang Zheng shrugged, "If not, why don't you give it a try in a moment?"

Yan Xiaosu was stunned. "F*ck, one of his fingers would be enough to crush me. I think I'll just humbly cheer from the sidelines instead."

No one was more familiar with this gaze of Wang Zheng than Yan Xiaosu. When he was excitedly awaiting something, his expression was different from others. The more unperturbed and relaxed he seemed, the more eagerly he was awaiting. This meant that the adversary had given rise to a strong sense of attraction in him.

Wang Zheng leisurely drank the tea that was served to him by the hospitable people of Tita. Outside, the giants were already sparring in full frenzy.

When it came to understanding a person, there are times when you can judge them just by their ability. In fact, while curing the internal poison that afflicted Rara Durai, the two of them were considered to have already crossed paths once before.

Chapter 736: Duel to the Death

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Rara Durai's appearance was an undeniably large inspiration to the giants. The current giants of Tita were basically still living in a period of colonial naivety. They truly believed that the Titans remained unrivalled. Of course, such beliefs would gradually change with time, but at present it would be a huge problem if something happened to Rara Durai.

Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu were unquestionably enjoying the best treatment. The excited smiles on Rara Durai and the giants' faces and their pure passion for battle really made Wang Zheng feel like joining in as well.

All of a sudden, Wang Zheng's smile vanished.

"Stay here and don't move."

Wang Zheng adjusted his clothes and walked towards the outside. Rara Durai and Shan Meng clearly took notice of this and wanted to go to him, but Wang Zheng waved his hand and scuttled towards the forest in a flash.

Not far in the distance was a swiftly moving shadow. However, the other party did not seem to be going all-out, and was waiting for Wang Zheng instead.

A few minutes later, the shadow stopped. Wang Zheng slowed down as well.

Earth Grade assassin Heaven – the sound of these words were enough to make one excited.

A blonde man in his late thirties sat in the treetops with a leaf hanging like a cigarette from his mouth. There was a wanton and unrestrained aura about him. The blonde man sized Wang Zheng up, and Wang Zheng did the same as well. Based on the nature of his powers, he was the one who harmed Rara Durai.

"Heaven?"

The blonde man gave a slight smile and leapt down from the tree, "I thought that a colleague of mine had come – didn't expect it to be a boy from the academy. To my surprise, you could actually see through my ability. What's your name?"

Heaven did not really hold any contempt for Wang Zheng, or else he would not have been interested in knowing his name.

"Wang Zheng, from Elite Academy's Azure Dragon Region." Wang Zheng replied. He wanted to see how Heaven would respond.

A hint of a smirk emerged from the corner of Heaven's mouth, "Azure Dragon eh? I used to be from Black Tortoise. You don't suppose that I will spare your life just because we have such a connection eh?"

Wang Zheng smiled, "Senior must be joking. Don't hold back, I really want to experience the close-combat skills of the Earth Grade experts as well.

"It seems like you're rather confident in your body's abilities." Heaven laughed, "Why'd you wanna get involved in such trouble? Could it be that the academy still insists on shoving down notions of righteousness down its students' throats? Time to give up on such ideals already."

Heaven's smile had a hint of derision to it, "You correctly deduced that I would come looking for you and you've got guts as well. If you leave now, I'll act as though nothing ever happened."

Wang Zheng shook his head, "They are my friends, I live if they live, die if they die."

Heaven guffawed, "Friends…, how meaningful. I'll fulfil your request then!"

The silhouette of Heaven's body vanished in a flash, but Wang Zheng remained expressionless. However, the blood in his body was already starting to flare up.

Ever since the breakthrough he achieved with the Primordial Regression Technique, his entire body was filled with an insatiable impulse. Even though he was not able to satisfy such an urge even at the level of the previous elite competition, this was not something that could be done in a single battle. In Wang Zheng's current state, he was able to release such murderous energy only in life or death situations.

Wang Zheng had no intention of evading at all. With a thud, he rushed forward with a volcanic roar.

Leaning Landslide!

Bang…..

The two men crashed into each other. Heaven did not dodge either and took the full brunt of Wang Zheng's Leaning Landslide. Honestly speaking, Old Zhuo was not cut out for battle, but Heaven who was right before him definitely was.

The impact unexpectedly caused Heaven to be knocked back. Wang Zheng twisted his body and advanced. He unleashed a flurry of fists with a strong intent of advancing forward.

Clang…

It was all in vain as Heaven's drifted away weightlessly, "How meaningful. You specialize in body techniques. It's no wonder that you can understand my wood technique!"

In the next instant, Heaven's voice was already right beside Wang Zheng. The sound of fists rushed towards Wang Zheng's eardrums. Wang Zheng chose not to evade at all. Turning his neck, he struck his elbow out directly. His opponent gasped in surprise, and Wang Zheng followed up with a series of karate chops. However, this had completely no effect. The assassin was no pushover after all!

Clang…

Heaven had slipped away once again. He wore a strange smile on his face, "Such a strong body technique reveals that you're probably from the Solar System. What family are you a descendant of?"

"I have no allegiances and am just a nobody. Wang Zheng's my name. Since you're an Earth Grade Ability X user, surely you're not useless without your mecha right?" Wang Zheng laughed.

While mecha combat and ordinary brawling shared some similarities, there were certainly differences as well – such as in the exertion of strength. Based on Heaven's self-confidence in daring to approach Rara Durai, he definitely had some faith in his own abilities.

Just as he was finishing his sentence, Wang Zheng felt a heavy thump on his chest. He resisted and slid back as a series of karate chops followed after. He intended to dodge them but could not react in time, so his neck endured a blow as a result.

Bang…

An additional kick connected with his abdomen and his body was thrown back through the air. As he was falling through mid-air, a series of vicious slanted kicks came next.

Crash…

The ground split open, and Wang Zheng was trapped in the earth.

Heaven gracefully landed, "My little child, never ever underestimate your seniors. You should be glad that you're not on my list."

Heaven turned his back to leave. This young fellow was quite interesting but was still rather inexperienced. He still had to complete his mission after all. Reputation remained important even in the underworld. As of now, Heaven still maintained a hundred percent success rate with the assignments that he had accepted.

"The victor doesn't seem to have been decided." Wang Zheng got to his feet. It had been a long time since he had been beaten up so violently. His opponent indeed had some frightening speed. However, there was insufficient strength behind his blows – or at least not enough to defeat Wang Zheng with.

Heaven stared for a moment. With a shudder of his body, his silhouette stretched into a thin line and a fist flew straight towards Wang Zheng. This time, Wang Zheng was able to see it coming. It was slightly better than before, but he was still unable to deflect the hit. His brain felt like a car had ran over it. His whole body flipped over as Heaven raised his leg to kick Wang Zheng right in the centre of his chest.

This kick solidly connected with Wang Zheng, but… Wang Zheng managed to grasp onto Heaven's leg with his arms, and returned with a kick of his own.

Bang…

The two of them were torn apart. Wang Zheng wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. His thigh hurt like hell, but man was it f*cking satisfying.

In the Rubik's Cube, every training session was more cruel than the last. Bonehead never took into consideration whether Wang Zheng would be able to handle it. It was indeed a stimulating experience.

Despite getting kicked, Heaven did not really seem to be hurt at all. He was able to easily block the blow with a Qi shield. This fellow only had flesh-based powers, yet he was still able to last so long. This piqued Heaven's interest.

"Azure Dragon Xuan Class 1's standards are pretty good eh?"

Wang Zheng laughed, "Heaven my brother, you've gotten it wrong. I'm from Azure Dragon's Huang Class 7."

Heaven's expression hardened. He suddenly let out a huge laugh, "Interesting, it seems like you only specialize in body techniques. These stupid elite schools only stick to one way of evaluating your abilities. Huang Class 7, haha. I'd feel too much like a bully if I just rushed a Huang Class 7 like you down. If you manage to deal with my next three moves, I'll call it a day.

Wang Zheng shook his head. "Heaven my brother, would it be possible for you to give up on your mission? Rara Durai and Mu Sen are my friends. If you wish to kill them, I will have to stop you no matter what.

Heaven laughed, "If you kill me, things will naturally come to a conclusion."

As he finished his sentence, Heaven's smile was frozen in place. This kid clearly did not know his place. He seemed to truly believe that Heaven was not able to kill him.

Wang Zheng wasted his breath on attempting to persuade. Heaven because he could tell that Heaven pulled some punches while he was attacking Rara Durai. There was no way that Rara Durai could have recovered so quickly otherwise.

However, it now seemed like a duel to the death was inevitable anyway.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Zheng's tapped onto his Primordial Regression Technique once again. The stagnant Qi in his body immediately rushed out and his pupils emitted beams of light that pierced towards Heaven like a sharp knives.

It was necessary for Wang Zheng to use the true extent of his abilities. Heaven was the strongest opponent he had come across so far. If he did not give it his all, he would definitely die on this very day.

Wind Dash!

Since they were on Tita Star, it was time to use such a move. This was where Wang Zheng gained his understanding of wind-based abilities after all.

Wang Zheng disappeared in the blink of an eye, but at almost the exact moment, Heaven made his move as well. The Earth Grade Heaven had an even more perfect understanding when it came to the use of wind-based abilities. This was also why he dared to come here unaccompanied. Under the environment of Tita Star, the use of these abilities came naturally to him.

Their positions switched back and forth continuously. Wang Zheng was extremely patient in dealing with such an expert, for a single moment of carelessness would inevitably lead to serious problems.

Heaven was amazed as well. This person was actually a wind-type ability user as well. However, his use of Ability X did not seem to be as elegant as his body technique.

Sensing a difference in speed, Heaven attacked, Bang…

A karate chop struck out towards Wang Zheng's neck, but Wang Zheng tilted his head to dodge it and shot out his right hand in response.

He was not attacking, but was merely holding onto Heaven's left hand.

Wang Zheng was no match for Heaven when it came to speed. He knew this from the start, so Wang Zheng wanted to match his opponent in levels of desperation instead!

Once his right hand latched on, Wang Zheng held an iron grip on his opponent's arm, leading to Heaven's expression souring as well.

With his right hand, Heaven's threw a punch towards Wang Zheng at lightning speed. Wang Zheng suffered several blows in this period of time, but his right hand remained stubbornly attached to Heaven. All of a sudden, Wang Zheng went for a headbutt.

This was known as the lethal battle on blade's edge during Bonehead's training. There used to be a duelling method in the past where both duelists had knife blades behind their feet. In such a situation, retreating was not an option, and they could only fight to the death. When dealing with such an expert opponent, Wang Zheng knew from the start that he was not planning to compete based on skill or technique. He was going to rely on his greatest strengths – his body technique and his fearlessness of death.

The rash feared the violent while the violent feared the fearless. Regardless of whether one was an expert or a novice, under such a situation, everything depended on how one chose to react.

Heaven had to deal ten or so punches to Wang Zheng before Wang Zheng even seemed to be affected. At the same time, Wang Zheng's was also exerting a lot of strength to keep his right hand on Heaven.

Heaven's close-combat abilities were not bad either. He attempted various flips in order to free himself from Wang Zheng. However, Wang Zheng was even better at close-combat for he had a wealth of experience in these situations. As a result, these escaping attempts meant that Heaven was simply giving up more chances to attack Wang Zheng.

There was probably nobody who had seen Wang Zheng going all out like this. Theorizing about killing someone and actually doing it was two entirely different concepts altogether. Both parties were both going at each other with full intention to kill.

Wang Zheng gradually increased his frequency of counterattacking. He truly believed that he was better than anyone else when it came to lasting longer in fights.

Bruises started to accumulate on Heaven's handsome face. Wang Zheng broke the bridge of Heaven's nose in a single punch despite Heaven having the upperhand. Heaven even conjured a wind-shield to defend himself, but it was not enough to block the blow. He wanted to free himself from Wang Zheng's right hand, but there was no way at all for him to do so. If not for the strength he was concentrating on his arm, his arm may have even been ripped off altogether. This lunatic's fingers were as tough as steel nails. The only way for him to break free was to tear off his own arm.

Boom…

Heaven's right hand latched onto Wang Zheng's arm. "Kid, you definitely didn't learn this from school!"

Typical elite academy students were definitely not ruthless to such a degree. As he spoke, Heaven's arm suddenly rotating. He attempted to break Wang Zheng's arm into two. One could almost hear the sound of bones breaking.

Crack…

Heaven was taken aback. Wang Zheng's left arm had been dislocated and flipped over. At the same moment however, Wang Zheng's knee shot out towards Heaven.

Bang…

This time there was solid contact with Heaven. Heaven was dazed for a moment. This seemed to have been Wang Zheng's intention all along – the severe pain of an arm dislocating seemed to not bother this brat even one bit.

Upon landing his first hit, Wang Zheng followed up closely with a hard-hitting headbutt. At this moment, all of his body was his weapon!

With a resounding crash, Heaven was hit while standing, and a wave of dizziness came over him. There was no way this was just a student from an elite academy – this was practically a duel in hell!
