Chapter 762: Beaten Up Lear

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Lear was a little worried because of Li Zhilong. Ever since this guy arrived at the Academy, he had not stopped stirring up trouble. Recently, he kept following him during classes. It was obvious that he was targeting him. They were both candidates for the position of the Son of Saint. Lear knew clearly what the other party wanted to do but the problem was that he was alone in the Elite Academy. Luo Fei… That fatty was unreliable. And the Li family was considered to have some power in Manalasuo. Lear postulated that the Li family was most possibly one of the ancient martial arts families that walked out of the Interstellar Great Voyage Era. The problem was that Manalasuo had great power in the Elite Academy.

One on one, Lear was not afraid of anything. But he was afraid that the other party would use Manalasuo's influence to deal with him. Then things would get more troublesome. And actually, Lear was not willing to fight within the Academy. At the moment, Lear's plans were going very well. After all, the Solar System, especially Earth's influence was too weak.

But this time it was no longer up to him.

Li Zhilong jumped down from a tree. His head of white hair was very easy to recognize.

"Lear, I've been waiting for you for so long," Li Zhilong said with a smile. His gaze was especially devilish.

Lear's gaze lightly swept across. "Such a big formation."

"Haha, you are after all a candidate. Come out brothers."

More than 10 Manalasuo citizens emerged from the trees. They were all of the Xuan Grade. Six of them were even from the Xuan Grade Class 1.

"What do you want?" A killing intent flashed across Lear's eyes.

"Hehe. You know very well what I want. Withdraw from the Academy and I will spare your miserable life. If not, you will know what I will do."

Lear snorted derisively. He originally did not want to cause trouble. But if someone came looking for trouble, he did not mind making a move. "How do you want to end this!"

"Can't you see, I have gathered so many people. Obviously I want to challenge you. One group of us against one of you!"

Li Zhilong teased and laughed. This Lear was only so much and he wanted to contend with him for the position of the Son of Saint.

Lear frowned. "Its strange that people like you can actually also become a candidate."

"Are you scared? You are so naïve. Do you think that this is the era of knights where one on one duels are in fashion? We are going to give you a good time."

Li Zhilong clenched both his fists and gathered his ability X. Golden light shone from his eyes and he directly locked onto Lear.

A punch was thrown out and Lear immediately evaded. His opponent's speed was not very fast. He could evade but he was worried that the people surrounding him would make a move.

But warning signs appeared. Li Zhilong's punch actually followed him like a shadow. There was no way to evade. It was similar to some sort of lock-on ability.

Hong…

He forced himself to withstand this punch. Lear knew that things did not look good. This guy's ability X had to do with metal of the Five Minor Elements. With just one punch landing, his defense actually disintegrated.

Lear lost his balance momentarily and the surrounding Manalasuo citizens immediately made their move and rushed towards him. More than 10 types of ability X's directly landed on Lear.

The key was that Li Zhilong's punch directly blocked any of Lear's follow-up actions. He had no chance at all. Lear curled up into a ball.

The whole group rushed towards him and gave him a round of mad beatings. Mantle frowned, "Long, just beat him up. Don't kill him or else we will have big trouble."

There were all sorts of challenges and duels in the Elite Academy. They were all energetic young people. The Academy was also not too strict on this, but everything had a limit. If they crossed the line then things would get troublesome. This Lear had been quite valued by the Academy. Mantle was a little worried.

Li Zhilong glared at Mantle impatiently. "Call me Li Zhilong, or Young Master Long like what the rest do. Not Long. Just leave him with just a breath."

The Li family in Manalasuo was indeed very influential. All the others also knew that. If they had the care of the Li family, they would raise through the ranks much faster when they returned after graduating from the Elite Academy. Everyone was willing to get into Li Zhilong's good grace. Besides, it was just beating up one person and Lear this rascal was too arrogant. Just a Huang Grade student and he was so proud. The others had been unhappy with him for quite some time.

After a round of crazy kicking and stomping, he could not handle Mantle's nagging anymore. Li Zhilong waved his hands and walked over. He stepped on Lear's head twice. "Remember, I don't care what method you use, I'm giving you three days' time to immediately disappear from the name list. Just you, a small creature from Earth and you would dare dream of competing with me. If I know that you are still around, I will beat you up every time I see you. I will beat you until you obey!"

After saying, he spat at Lear and waved his hands. "Let's go brothers. I will treat everyone to a good time!"

Lear slowly moved only after this group of people had left for quite some time. To Lear, this was not only a great humiliation, but his injuries were also quite serious. This Li Zhilong did not hold back at all. The others might not have been too vicious but their thoughtless bombardment of abilities still hurt him. If not for his Ares Art, he would definitely not be able to get up now.

But there was no angry expression on Lear's face. In his heart, he was calculating the situation. Obviously, it was not smart getting serious with Li Zhilong in the Elite Academy. Even if he could beat Li Zhilong in battle, things would be considered over but he had to think of a way to prevent future troubles.

Except that it was a little difficult in the current situation

After Li Zhilong's punch, Lear understood in his heart. The other party was most likely also an inheritor of ancient martial arts. His physical techniques would not be poor and his ability X should have to do with locking on to enemies and breaking their defense. Even though he clearly defended against that one blow, but there was still a sharp power that broke through, instantly disintegrating his defense. Even if he had prepared himself, it was most likely that his defense would slowly disintegrate. This most likely had to do with the Metal element of the Cycle of Five Minor Elements.

And this type of attack hindered Lear's devouring power. He was not afraid of abilities that were slow and insidious. Instead he was very afraid powers that could unleash a large amount of power in a single burst. This countered his ability.

The key point was that this Li Zhilong was a despicable person and totally left him no chance to escape.

When Luo Fei rushed to the infirmary, he was also shocked. Lear was already placed in the healing tank. His injuries were much worse than Lear himself had imagined.

Multiple healing abilities surrounded him. Adding up his external and internal injuries, it was simply a miracle that he could walk to the infirmary. He was almost instantly placed in the healing container.

He had to recover for at least three or four days.

It also depended on his body's recuperative situation.

Li Zhilong wanted this type of effect. He could not kill him but he wanted to leave him half dead. This was still not over. As long as Lear was still on that name list, he would prepare a few more rounds of this type of activity. Having more people was the best!

"You youngsters, I already said not to fight or beat each other up. Three ribs as well as your left hand is also broken." The doctor sighed and shook his head. He had been at the Elite Academy for a long time. This was considered a serious injury. "You can go see him."

The meat on Luo Fei's fat face shivered. He came to Lear. Lear's eyes were very calm. He saw Luo Fei approach and nodded. "You need to be careful. Don't walk around at night these few days."

Lear said. In his mind, he was thinking of how to handle Li Zhilong after he had healed. This thing was of course not over. Except that the way he handled had to be precise. He could not risk raising the Academy's resentment but he needed Li Zhilong to be defeated and give up.

This was a little difficult to execute.

Luo Fei nodded. He had yet to open his mouth and Lear already indicated that he could go back. He wanted to prevent anymore incidents from happening. Based on this fatty's strength, once he was blocked, just any two students could beat him till he was half dead.

Luo Fei lowered his head. He wanted to say something but walked out cowardly.

Chapter 763: Bully

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

It was only when Wang Zheng had returned to the Elite Academy that he got the news of Lear's injuries from an excited Zhang Shan.

He had to admit that Lear was really unpopular amongst the people of the Solar System. Other than Luo Fei, the others made no indication. As for Zhang Shan who made clear his loves and hates had expressed his happiness without hesitation. On this point, Wang Zheng had nothing else to say. Even though there was no evidence, but Lear had most likely done more than one or two things in the dark. If it was anyone else who had gotten hurt, he would definitely have made a move on the attackers but since it was Lear, he did not want to pursue the issue. If he really made a move then he might even implicate Zhang Shan.

"Li Zhilong?"

This name made Wang Zheng frown. He did not care what was the other party's intention or target. Except that this person did things with no consideration. He really needed to remind Huiyin to stay away from him.

"I heard that even Lear's face was even beaten out of shape and he needed aesthetic surgery to recover." Zhang Shan said happily.

"How many people attacked him?" Wang Zheng asked.

Zhang Shan was stunned and shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? I think it was a one on one but no one knows the actual situation."

Wang Zheng shook his head slightly. This was unlikely. That Li Zhilong might be strong but under the situation of a one on one, it would be difficult to beat up Lear and yet not alarm others. At least, even he could not do that and that Li Zhilong was not his match.

People who trained in Cultivation Techniques had a very strong advantage over those had Ability X. This was especially true for those who possessed a cultivation technique that embodied all the minor 5 elements. Every type of ability had a certain level of adaptability and resistance. Even though Lear was considered to be a person that he disliked, but this person's calmness and carefulness was nothing to be doubtful of.

Wang Zheng did not care about the matters between Li Zhilong and Lear but he could not help but worry about Huiyin.

Immediately he sent a message to Huiyin and she replied immediately. "Brother Wang Zheng, where did you go? I'm at your place."

Wang Zheng was speechless. This girl, why was she at his place again?

"Who is that, f**k, that's Princess Huiyin!" Zhang Shan was very thick-skinned and looked over Wang Zheng's shoulders to peep at his private messages.

"Wang Zheng are you still human. You want to get both the older and younger ones!"

"Go away, what are you thinking!" Wang Zheng wanted to sew up Zhang Shan's smelly mouth. Zhang Shan on the other hand was smiling so lasciviously. "Bro, actually I wanted to say, teach me a few moves. I'm also not dreaming of any princesses. Any fair and rich beauties will do for me."

Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "How's your training in your cultivation technique?"

"Still working on it but the progress is slow." Zhang Shan said. The topic was successfully changed by Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng wanted to teach Zhang Shan the Primordial Regression Technique bit by bit but he realized that it was totally impossible. Originally, when he learnt the Primordial Regression Technique, he was also forcefully beaten by Bonehead as he opened up all his meridians. Those durable giants could barely withstand the 16 Point Blade Technique but human bodies could not, unless they were in the special space of the Rubik's Cube.

It looked like he could only monitor Zhang Shan and get him to work hard. But Zhang Shan's interest had more to do with one's training for their Ability X. The Elite Academy had a set of very comprehensive training regimes for training and familiarizing one's Ability X. Like Wang Zheng, it was because he trained in Cultivation Techniques and hence was not used to that type of training style. That was why Wang Zheng did not force Zhang Shan to accept his type of training. Everyone needed to find the method most suited to them. Suitability was the most important.

Back in his room, Wang Zheng knew that these Huiyin had definitely stayed at his place the past two days. He heaved a sigh of relief.

"Brother Wang Zheng, where did you go during the weekend? I originally wanted to look for you to play."

"Teacher Xiao Fei is here to take part in a gathering. Don't tell me you spent your whole weekend here."

"Yes, I'm writing songs here and then I slept. It's so comfortable." Lin Huiyin stretched. That slim and soft waist caused Wang Zheng to pause for a while. The Huiyin now was especially cute, and seemed a little lost. In front of Wang Zheng, Huiyin had never paid attention to her image or anything. But in reality, girls like this were more attractive.

"Alright. You have to be wary of this Li Zhilong. He really is quite dangerous. Don't go out alone at night." Wang Zheng said.

"There's nothing to worry about. I'm Aslan's princess. He wouldn't dare to do anything.�� Lin Huiyin replied without much concern.

Wang Zheng felt his head ache. Everyone knew this logic but the problem was that crazy people never thought of the consequences.

"No, you have to listen to me!" Wang Zheng said firmly.

Huiyin nodded. "Okay, then I'll look for you after lessons."

Wang Zheng nodded. It looked like he needed to think of a way. He had to get Eisen to investigate Li Zhilong. Before that, it was better that Huiyin followed him. As for day classes, even if he had great courage, he would not dare to stir up trouble. Not to mention that the school would get rid of him, the many powerful people from Aslan here were not for him to bully.

"You have to bear with it these few days." Wang Zheng said. Actually behind her back, Huiyin secretly made a victory signal with her hands.

You had to admit that Lear being beaten up was not small yet not big news. Li Zhilong was no doubt the instigator. He was even more arrogant than when Olivios just entered the Academy. At least when no one looked for Olivios, he also looked for no trouble. This Li Zhilong not only looked for trouble but upon entering, he looked for Lear.

Of course there were rumors that he was beaten up by a group from Manalasuo but there was no evidence. It also seemed unlikely because it was after all Manalasuo.

Mantle was the most depressed. As the chairperson of the Manalasuo Alumni, he had no way of raising his Grade in the Academy. After being at the Elite Academy for four years, he would have to graduate after this semester ended. If he had the care of the Li family at that time, he would definitely get an extremely good position in the military.

Just because one had ability did not mean that they would have achievements. There were many with ability. In the Academy, one could be proud, one could be unreasonable. But once one graduated, reality was very brutal. As for some untamed ability users, they lived in the underworld and could not see the light for the rest of their lives. However, most people were unwilling. If one had a family, everyone wanted to live grandly under the sun.

Hence when Li Zhilong moved his hands into Mi Lina's skirt without fear at the celebration party, Mantle did not do anything.

Mi Lina was a Huang Class 1 student of Manalasuo. She had also entered the Academy last year. Mantle fell in love with her at first sight and spent a semester's time to pursue her. She finally became his girlfriend but ended up being in Li Zhilong's favor. Li Zhilong did not care at all whether this girl had a boyfriend or not. If she had, it would only be more fun for him.

The other people from Manalasuo of course saw this happening but if Mantle himself did not speak up, why would they bother too much about it. Besides, everyone knew what type of person Li Zhilong was.

Mantle ground his teeth. He also did not know how he left the party. He only knew that Mi Lina was somewhat forcefully taken away by Li Zhilong.

He did not even want to think about what happened in the end. All sorts of complicated feelings course through him. Why did he not say something? Why was he so cowardly? How would the others look at him? Think of him? How would he face others in future?

Would Li Zhilong really support him to rise through the ranks?

What if he did not?

Mantle's crazy howl sounded in the room but he did not notice that there was something stuck outside the wall.

Mantle became ill. After the weekend had ended he continued to take a leave of absence. This type of news spread very quickly. Mantle from Manalasuo totally became a joke. Internally, Manalasuo would not say anything but the people from other countries who mocked him, mocked Manalasuo as well.

Li Zhilong was an a**hole. If he acted without regards in his own home, that was his own business. However, at the Elite Academy, he was definitely looking to die. It was only that the Solar System was too weak. If it were the other countries, they would definitely leave him half dead. Of course, when the Solar System had no reaction and Mantle himself wanted to be a tortoise hiding in his shell, no one else would stand up for them.

This type of situation and atmosphere was slowly spreading. Lie Xin and Achilles also looked for Wang Zheng. While this altercation involved Lear specifically, this event had in actuality affected all of them. In the Elite Academy, they represented the Solar System. When the doors were closed, there was no problem with them fighting amongst themselves but as for facing the outside world, they could not lose out in terms of face.

Actually it was not to say that anyone like Wang Zheng, Lie Xin or Achilles could make a move, but they all did not make a move because Lear did not do or say anything. They totally had no idea what happened and could not just stupidly look for trouble.

Lear did not say anything. They could only continue to observe him but there was one point that they were sure of. If Li Zhilong did any more things that targeted the Solar System, then they could no longer just sit and wait.

They did not care whether it was Manalasuo or Mala-rubbish they would beat up any of them.

To be honest, even though the few of them were very strong, they had too few in numbers comparatively. But sometimes, even if they could not win in the fight, they also had to fight. This was an issue of face.

Huiyin was not really alone in the school. The people accompanying her during lessons were all top-rate individuals. One was Lu Die from Vermillion Bird Xuan class 1, and the other was Annil from Huang class 1. And it was only because she was Aslan's princess that such a formation seemed natural. Or else it would be weird.

Other than Lin Huiyin being a hot topic for attention, the two new students from Atlantis and Mayan Empire were the subject of everyone else's conversation. The two of them were very low key. They neither participated nor boasted. They only quietly accepted the things in Elite Academy. Basically, other than going for classes, the two of them were usually in the library.

Even though Atlantis and Aslan shared a close relationship, but they discovered that this Atlantean did not go together with the Aslan Princess. Perhaps the Atlanteans were more acceptant of Princess Aina instead.

Adding in Li Zhilong, the new students this round were no doubt more prestigious than those of the previous round. At the same time, they brought more troubles.

After the afternoon lessons had ended, Li Zhilong had Mi Lina in his arms. During the public lesson in the early noon, he saw Lin Huiyin again. That seductive pure little Lolita deeply attracted his body and heart. He resisted with much effort for a while and when he really could not resist anymore, he called for Mi Lina to satisfy his urges. Of course he knew that she was Mantle's girlfriend. So what? This way it was much more fun.

At first Mi Lina was not willing. Of course now she was probably unwilling too but he did not care.

However that suspicious fatty looked familiar.

"The fatty in front. Stop there!" Li Zhilong shouted. The fatty who was ready to escape froze instantly.

Li Zhilong's evil smile spread on his face. "Little fatty, why are you suspiciously following me?" Li Zhilong touched his forehead. "I remember, you are Lear's dog. Why, does your owner want you to collect some intelligence?"

Luo Fei's face was filled with anger. "You shameless bastard. You only know how to rely on secret group attacks…"

Luo Fei had not finish his sentence and Li Zhilong already attacked. Li Zhilong liked to step on his opponent before slowly talking about logic.

He originally wanted to look for Mi Lina to satisfy his urges. Just right, he could get rid of some angst with this fatty first.

Luo Fei wanted to escape. He did not expect his opponent to dare to attack in broad day light. Fatty was very confident in his speed. Li Zhilong was also a little surprised. He originally thought that he was just a lackey who knew how to suck up to people. He did not think that he was quite flexible. It was a pity he was useless.

Fatty could only watch as Li Zhilong's punch reached him. His meaty hands blocked.

Hong…

Luo Fei's body flew and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He rolled and quickly escaped. Li Zhilong wanted to give chase but he realized that the other students were streaming out and spat out some saliva unhappily.

Chapter 764: Broken into Pieces!

"A dog is a dog, f**k it, this type of rubbish actually dares to be discussed on the same level as me." Li Zhilong was also speechless. Such a rubbish underling. How could Lear actually become a candidate for the position of the Son of Saint?

There was still no actions from the top. He could only wait until Lear was discharged from the hospital. He did not mind beating him back in. He actually asked his dog to follow him. It looked like he was still not convinced.

This type of cowardly bastard was still quite durable for stepping on!

Li Zhilong hugged Mi Lina and did not care about the looks given to him. From the side, his hand had already reached in and was massaging forcefully. If this was not in broad daylight, he would definitely help that fatty reduce some weight.

"This Li Zhilong is really too much."

"It's not our business. Those big countries like Aslan and Arbiter did not even take any action. This is not our business."

"Shouldn't the student council do something? The student council should care about such things right?" A Big Bear Star freshman asked.

Freshmen were always filled with righteousness.

"The student council will only care about this if there is evidence too. Besides, didn't you see? The people involved did not even say anything. You need to have a plaintiff."

Looking at the rolling and escaping Luo Fei, everyone could only shake their head. Li Zhilong was shamelessly walking around. He did not care at all what others thought.

Look. Look all you want. He would not die from people��s stares.

Certainly some people could not stand it, but some people would think that he was powerful. This was in fact the era of the powerful. People like Olivios were old students. The freshmen now would definitely hope that within themselves were strong people who would surpass their seniors.

When night fell, Wang Zheng, Lie Xin and Achilles had already gathered together. Perhaps to the outsiders this meant nothing but to the Solar System, this was already an emergency. Other people were not talking about how Lear and Luo Fei were but how the Solar System was. They also did not know whether Lear had yet to recover or was just acting cowardly. Anyway, he did not leave the hospital.

Wang Zheng and the others had to do something. If not if this continued, everyone would look down on the Solar System.

On this aspect, no matter Wang Zheng, Achilles or Lie Xin, all of them were looking at the big picture. Except that it was a problem regarding how they would plan to retaliate.

Wang Zheng also wanted to solve this problem regarding Li Zhilong as soon as possible. It was just that he had no idea how to deal a fatal blow because this type of personality was no different from a mad dog. There was no use to just beat him up. Even if they beat him until he had serious injuries, there would not be any use. If his injuries were too grave, it would on the other hand create trouble. This would become a weakness that they left in other people's hands and would be forcefully expelled. Hence even though this Li Zhilong was crazy, he knew very well how to use the resources that he had.

Just like the last time when he beat up Lear. He looked for a group of people so that if anything happened, the school would also not expel all the Manalasuo elites.

He was an extremely difficult person to deal with.

At this moment, Lear was still lying in the hospital quietly. Actually he could already be discharged. His energy could be recovered slowly but Lear decided to continue lying there. Because he was in the canister for two days, he very quickly thought of the key points within. He just received news on Luo Fei's beating. Even though he was angry at this stupid fatty but he needed to be calmer. As long as he laid there for a few more days, the problem would resolve automatically.

Compared to moving his arms and legs, Lear preferred moving his brains.

Hence, it was Wang Zheng and the other's turn to have a headache. If they did not make any moves, the others would not talk about how Lear was. They would only say that Wang Zheng and his group was a bunch of cowards. They had no balls. As for the issue of face, only the one who laughed to the end would be the winner. A moment of loss was nothing. When Lear decided to walk on the path of the conqueror, he understood this. A conqueror had to have the ability to restrain oneself!

At night, the people of the Solar System had all arrived. Zhang Shan and Milo were also present. While there were initial communications, ultimately they needed everyone to decide together. While there were not many people from the Solar System, they could not let others bully them. Forget about Lear, they definitely could not bear having Luo Fei beaten up in broad day light. Asking for assistance from the student council would only turn them into laughing stock.

After Li Zhilong had his dinner and drank a little alcohol, he was hugging Mi Lina and biting her. He did not get his way with her in the afternoon. After all so many people were watching and he could not possibly do it in the open. But after filling up, he was feeling especially comfortable and he wanted to have a go at it.

Except that he was not satisfied with the usual proceedings. He wanted something more exciting.

When a person became depraved, those that he originally cared about, he would slowly not care about them anymore. Mi Lina was like this. At first she was outraged. To the end, she felt that this was not bad too. At least Li Zhilong was more handsome than Mantle and he was also imposing. He had ability and a strong background. Like this, with a bit of force and a bit of such thought, she relented.

"Brother Long, there will be people here right."

"Tch, why would there be people. Besides, this little forest is originally for doing it outside." Li Zhilong laughed and very roughly pushed Mi Lina onto the tree and started to tear at her skirt.

Mi Lina frowned. The other party had an obvious abusive potential. His grabbing was painful but she could only ground her teeth and withstood it.

Li Zhilong took off his pants and stood proudly in the wind. He slapped Mi Lina's fair thighs forcefully. He definitely used strength. Mi Lina could not withstand the pain and cried out but Li Zhilong had become even more excited.

"Little b*tch, Die!"

At this moment, a black shadow flashed by. Mi Lina practically had no reaction and fainted with a blow.

Under this kind of excitable situation, Li Zhilong's reaction was however quick enough. Instinctively, he threw Milina out like a meat shield but the black shadow also jumped away.

Li Zhilong directly tore away the pants that were hindering his movements. There was no time to wear them. But after seeing his opponent, he could not hold back his laughter. It was actually that dead fatty.

"Was it not enough to get beaten up in the day? You actually took the initiative to come here. While I don't like men, but why not try something new." Li Zhilong purposely provoked Luo Fei.

The Luo Fei under the moon looked extremely weird. He totally did not have the usual cowardly or even lascivious look. At this moment, Luo Fei was very calm, calm to the point that he was scary.

Li Zhilong made a move. He liked to have the first move to suppress his opponent. A punch was thrown out. The punch seemed to carry a golden light. The average person would definitely be mentally affected under the situation where they were pant-less. However, Li Zhilong did not care at all. Compared to pants, obviously his safety was more important. It was just that he did not expect the person to be this idiot. He had wasted the work of the famous master of the Micael fashion world.

Faced with Li Zhilong's punch, Luo Fei neither evaded nor hid. Li Zhilong's face had a fierce expression. He was doing a rightful defense even if he killed him, it was a wasteful death.

He increased his strength and activated his Ability X to the maximum.

Hong…

His punch landed right on Luo Fei???

Li Zhilong's face showed fear. His full strength punch was actually locked by Luo Fei's hands. Luo Fei's lips curled into a harmless smile.

It seemed like there was a dark energy that instantly covered Li Zhilong. Weakening ability?

Li Zhilong smiled cruelly. He actually dared to use such a minor skill on him. The metal element specifically targeted such despicable abilities.

Ka Cha…

Li Zhilong opened his mouth. Before a terrible howl could erupt, Luo Fei sealed Li Zhilong's mouth with 1 punch. His whole mouthful of teeth all fell onto the ground. That howl was swallowed as well.

The Luo Fei at this moment was covered in a terrifying strength from top to toe. Fear leaked out of Li Zhilong's eyes. "Ares… Ares Qi?"

Perhaps God fell asleep? Such strength, how could it appear on a dog? That was definitely not possible… or, was he actually Lear???

Ka cha.

Li Zhilong who was prepared to crawl away had his left leg broken by Luo Fei's stomp. Closely followed was his right leg.

Luo Fei slowly dragged Li Zhilong back and squatted beside his head. He smiled at him. "Die obediently. This way the world will be much quieter."

"No… No, you can't kill me" He dropped quite a few of his teeth. Li Zhilong's words were also not very clear. "I'm from Manalasuo… the royalty will kill you."

"Thank you for thinking of me at this moment. Don't worry, I'll be fine, everyone would be fine too." Luo Fei's smiling fat face seemed to be extremely gentle. Li Zhilong on the other hand was scared to the point his irises enlarged.

But at the next moment, Li Zhilong's lower body was crushed. Even if Li Zhilong was very strong, he fainted instantly from the pain.

Luo Fei's hands covered Li Zhilong's face. Not long later, Li Zhilong's body lost its aura and slowly became cold. Beside him laid a half-naked woman.

The fatty's silhouette slowly disappeared into the darkness, all traces of him disappeared.

Luo Fei moved forward at high speed except that his eyes slowly turned back to normal from the death godly gaze just now. Time to time, he still turned back to look.

If others scolded him or beat him, he actually did not care. But to hurt Lear, they had to die. This was what a dog had to do, if not he was useless.

Luo Fei's steps suddenly stopped because a person stood in front of him. He was someone he did not want to see at this moment and even more so, he did not want others to know his secret.

The whole plan was arranged quite abstractly. From preparation to the key part, everything progressed smoothly. But no matter what, he did not expect it to fall into the eyes of this person.

What should he do now?

Chapter 765: Extreme Loyalty

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Luo Fei had a bitter smile on his face. He usually did not kill unless necessary and this person in front of him, even if he wanted to kill him, he could not.

The person who came had an intrigued smile. He assessed this fatty, surprise filled his eyes.

"I never thought that it would actually be you." Wang Zheng laughed. "Such strength, Luo Fei, you hide deep enough."

Wang Zheng and the others could not conclude their discussion. Hence Wang Zheng decided to test this Li Zhilong personally first. However, he did not expect that someone not only tested him but had also done the deed.

At first he thought that it was Lear, but looking at the silhouette, Wang Zheng very quickly realized who it was. Except that he thought that based on Li Zhilong's strength, how could Luo Fei be his opponent. The results shocked Wang Zheng. The whole world probably had underestimated this fatty.

Luo Fei laughed bitterly. "Ahem, Wang Zheng, this… Leader, I also have no other way. Can you treat it as if you have seen nothing?"

Wang Zheng laughed. "Lear's Ares Art is most likely is not as strong as yours, right?"

Luo Fei quickly waved his hands. "Of course not, Boss is much stronger than me. Mine is just on a superficial level."

"Hehe, just looking at your hide gives me a headache." Wang Zheng looked at Luo Fei as though he was laughing, yet it did not seem so. Sweat covered fatty's forehead.

Attack? Luo Fei did not have this intention to do so. To be honest, he basically had no friends. Many times, he was envious of Wang Zheng and his friends' life. In their eyes, there was always a bundle of warmth. It was just that he could only watch from afar.

"Okay, I'll stop teasing you. Based on Lear's character, if he knew about your strength, it would most likely be difficult for you too. Don't worry, I saw nothing and will not say anything."

"Yes, I definitely believe leader's words." Luo Fei finally heaved a sigh of relief. He did not care whether Wang Zheng talked about this. If he got killed then he would be killed. Anyway, he was just a pathetic life, but there was one key point which Wang Zheng pointed out immediately. His training of the Ares Art seemed to have a better effect on him than Lear….. by a bit. Luo Fei did not dare to say anything. No one knew better than him how proud Lear was.

"You are a strange one too. This is not a good place to stay for too long. See you around." Wang Zheng said and left quickly. Fatty's silhouette wavered and also disappeared into the darkness.

Wang Zheng already understood most of the situation. Eisen in this aspect did indeed have his own ways. Lear's injuries were already almost fully healed. Logically speaking he should be out already but he was not. This unmoving move of his was really quite vicious.

If Lear came out, the attention would be on him. If he did not, then the attention would turn to the others of the Solar System. This was forcing Wang Zheng and the others to make a move.

He had to admit that this guy's fake gentlemenly act had already reached godly levels.

Except that Luo Fei came out unexpectedly. Upon thinking about

Luo Fei's strength, Wang Zheng also shook his head. Even in his dreams he did not imagine that this fatty was actually so strong. It looked like the the fatty was just playing around in the previous situation in the Deep Abyss and the Elites competition. If not for Lear forcing him, it was most likely that he would want to continue bluffing his way through. Well, it was good too because if he revealed a talent exceeding Lear, would Lear still allow him to exist?

But Wang Zheng also did not understand why Luo Fei so blindly followed Lear.

Fatty Luo was feeling very comfortable and walked with light footsteps. He hummed a song. People should be happy each day that they were alive. He did not worry at all about other things. Wang Zheng this person was indeed quite righteous. Actually Luo Fei could totally ignore the things that were happening and stay out of things. Wang Zheng on the other hand was a person who took responsibility. Too bad he and Lear were not on the same side. Luo Fei was also helpless.

Things could be considered as solved. There should not be any problems. Boss should be able to leave the hospital. The smile on fatty's face brightened but then he coughed. This d*mn Li Zhilong, that beating during the day was really something. The metal Ability X was troublesome.

But his acting was not bad, there should not be anyone suspecting him.

It was the next day when Li Zhilong's body was discovered that the news immediately shocked the whole Academy. Overall, the security and safety of the Elite Academy was relatively good. While there would be injuries and deaths from time to time but those were mostly because of training missions. No one expected Li Zhilong to have a "terrible death".

And this Li Zhilong was not a small character, even the professors from the Black Tortoise Region were alarmed.

It was just half a day of time when Mantle was taken away. It was said that he had hated Li Zhilong because his girlfriend was snatched, additionally his position in the Manalasuo Alumni was replaced. These traces all pointed to one fact.

Based on Li Zhilong's ability, other than those who were closer and understood him, it was unlikely that others could launch a sneak attack. Of course, the main reason was also because Li Zhilong at that time was doing that thing.

As for Lear and Luo Fei, they were also suspected but Lear was still lying in the hospital and Luo Fei did not have that ability.

It was said that Mantle went mad cursing and swearing. He said something like it was good that he died. Besides, not long after Li Zhilong came to the Academy, he already had a very bad name. Even the internal members from Manalasuo pitied Mantle. At least they thought that Mantle was quite manly.

The school hoped to make this big thing smaller, and then reduce the situation to nothing. They treated it as an incident due to jealousy and did not wish to aggravate the situation.

When Lear discharged from the hospital, he was feeling very comfortable.

"Congratulations on your discharge, Boss. You look good." Fatty habitually praised him.

Lear breathed in the fresh air from outside. A hint of a smile could be seen on his face. "It is time to come out. This time who was it who made the move, Wang Zheng or Achilles?"

You don't say, Lear was really happy in his heart. He liked this type of feeling when everything went according to his plan, especially when it came to using Wang Zheng and the others. It was the feeling of successfully executing an indirect command.

Luo Fei scratched his head. "It was Mantle, I heard it was because Mantle's woman got snatched and he kept thinking of how to teach Li Zhilong a lesson. Just right, he bumped into Li Zhilong doing that sort of thing in the forest."

Lear looked lightly at Luo Fei. "You believe that Mantle could do it?"

"There's a possibility, this guy no matter what is from the Xuan Grade class 1. And men when doing that sort of thing are usually very focused." Luo Fei said.

Lear was not convinced and shook his head. "What you are saying is an ideal guess. It is unlikely that Li Zhilong did not discover who attacked him. The person who handled him would definitely have a certain level of ability. If it was not Wang Zheng and the others, then it is possible that Aslan or the other powers had made a move to take the chance to cause trouble for Manalasuo."

Luo Fei was stunned. He used an idolizing gaze to look at Lear. "Boss, why so?"

"If it was me, no matter what, I would have slapped that woman's face a few times. If I were to act, I had to do a proper show. But Mi Lina was just knocked unconscious." Lear said, It was such an obvious loophole.

"But, would Mantle be worried about that and hence he did not do what you said instead?"

Lear looked at fatty. "He was going to kill Li Zhilong for Mi Lina. Tell me, if he saw that scene, how would he feel?"

Luo Fei was very impressed. Boss was still the boss.

"Who cares, anyway that guy is dead and he died with his genitalia destroyed. This is so satisfying. It's a pity he died before you recovered, or else he would be living a life worse than death."

"Recently we have been too prominent. Actually it is good to be low key. This guy is dead. The Black Tortoise Region is still my world."

Lear's lips curled into a smile. Overall, he was quite happy. Li Zhilong was unpopular but the school did not care about such things. Except to Lear, this was not good news. No matter who did it, at this moment, it was no longer important.

Entering the Xuan Grade, there was a project with a high credit weightage. That was the small team battles.

In other words, it was on how to execute the effect of 1 plus 1 equals to more than two under the situation of small team battles.

This was the main point of mecha lessons, to progress from double battles to triples to five-person battles and even until 12 person team battle.

This was also the current mainstream battle style of the elite Special Forces teams. Each country had their own way of matching various types of mecha, personnel and battle techniques.

And the power executed by a group of soldiers utilizing Ability X was even more shocking.

Under the usual circumstances, the students chose their own combinations for team training. At such moments, the benefits of Alumni could be seen. The new students could follow their seniors and learn. When there were more people, there were more choices too.

Then, the problem of the Solar System became apparent. They only had that much people in total. They were enough for small teams but could not gather a 12 person team. There was no one from the Solar System in this year's batch of new students. It was as though Wang Zheng and the others from their year were the only ones.

The Solar System was weaker even in their overall Ability X levels.

Just like this, the Solar System still split into four parties. Wang Zheng was helpless because Earth itself was actually also split into two parties. One reason the Solar System Federation fell was because of the continuous competition for leadership power between Earth, Moon and Mars. This was also the Solar System's unique characteristic and had been so since the past.

But if you suggested for Wang Zheng to listen to Lear, Wang Zheng really could not stand it. He would rather face 12 opponents alone.

As for Lear, he was most likely the same. Achilles and Lie Xin may seem to not mind, but they actually did mind a lot.

But there was also benefits to such a situation. At least, no one wanted to admit defeat and their morale was high.

After getting rid of Li Zhilong, Wang Zheng was considered to have resolved a worrying problem. If not, if this guy did something terrible to Huiyin, it would be too late for him to regret anything.

Luo Fei's battle state was quite interesting and a little similar to his. Under certain extreme conditions, the personality that was suppressed would burst out. The entire battle was quick and sleek. Even if it was Wang Zheng fighting, that would be it. And the intriguing power that his Ares Art showed broadened Wang Zhen's horizons. It was the same Ares Art as Lear but what he and Lear showed was very different. Everyone had their unique characteristics.

Except he could see from another perspective, this fatty was really blindly loyal to Lear. He was that kind of person who could still laugh after being kicked. It was really scary to anger him.

If not for Lear, Wang Zheng really wanted to look for Luo Fei to have a friendly battle. But now, he decided to forget it. This would only make things difficult for Luo Fei.

The Solar System for this round was truly strong. If they worked together, not to mention they could rule the Elite Academy, they would at least enter the top 10 easily, even with such little people.

At the moment in the Academy, while there were continuous changes to the ranking of various countries, at least 10 countries were more steady:

Aslan Empire, Arbiter Republic, Lya Sphinx Republic, Federal Republic of Manalasuo, Hail Cloud Alliance, Maacah Republic, Darkness Empire, Big Bear Federation, Sirius Star Federation, Astina Federation.

There were no fixed ranking, hence there would be changes occasionally but basically, they have always maintained a certain number of people and quality.

Because they had more people, they were at advantage for various practices and would only become stronger and stronger. And the other countries with less people would either be integrated, or left behind. This was also the reality.

Chapter 766: A New Manalasuo Leader

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

After his lessons, Wang Zheng arrived at Butcher's lab. Butcher waved to Wang Zheng immediately upon seeing him.

"Come over and take a look. The design blueprint is already out." Butcher was obviously very excited. "You are a really lucky rascal. Baegula originally only wanted to do it for fun but looking from this design, he most likely put in some effort."

Wang Zheng was also looking forward to his first mech. In front of his eyes was a 3-D mech model. When Wang Zheng saw it, his eyes were glued onto it.

Butcher was also quite satisfied. "To exhibit your battle power fully, we matched it with enough complete battle strategies. There are many weapon choices. The problem which you raised with the Golden Wheel Battle King has been improved and we have also added in golden wheels to attack with. Except we made some changes to the connection system. It will not be as rigid as the Golden Wheel Battle King, but controlling will be more difficult."

This was not unusual. Wang Zheng did not care about that at all. The Golden Wheel Battle King's guidance system was no use to him and it also took up energy. At the same time it caused the Golden Wheel Battle King to lose freedom in its movements.

Seeing Wang Zheng's excitement, Butcher was also happy. "This is the basic proposal. Of course, we still have to undergo a series of refinements. The runic mech energy source motor has to be adjusted too so that it could suit your battle power, and at the same time maximize as much as possible the exhibition of your Ability X."

No matter how many times he looked, he felt that this was a type of intoxication. This was art. Once they utilized runic technology, Ability X would no longer be limited, transmission and maneuverability would be on another level.

Wang Zheng was so engrossed. Subconsciously he extended his arm to touch it. It was only then he realized that it was a virtual model.

"Haha, you rascal. Seems like you also have times where you are impatient. Don't be impatient, I will prepare it before you officially enter the abyss. Don't think about it on usual days. Mecha are after all external things. You can't rely on it for training."

"Yes, senior." Wang Zheng nodded his head. Runic mecha while made for the pilot, were actually regulated. It was only when carrying out missions could the pilot use it. The maintenance and upkeep of Runic mecha was much more difficult compared to the usual mech. The cost was relatively high too.

"Wang Zheng, Xiao Fei wants to organize a large scale event and invited me too. I intend to go and support you."

"Thank you, senior. Actually Ares College now is experiencing difficulties and Professor Xiao Fei just took over. She is very stressed."

"You this rascal underestimate Xiao Fei. That girl is amazing. Maybe in a few years' time she would become someone who surpasses us. Transference from normal space to warp convection space, haha, this is something that even the few old guys from the physics world don't dare to think of and Xiao Fei has already made some progress. It makes me so curious how its done. I need to go and learn." Butcher shook his head and said.

The people from the Universe's Genesis Coffee were no doubt the people who understood most of the universe's secrets. Perhaps they might not be very rich, or have much power, but the knowledge they had was priceless and surpassed everything else. The satisfaction in their hearts also came from this. And this space theory was very interesting, even Butcher who did not belong to this area, had also been tempted! He could never understand the details but he wanted to understand the reasoning. If he used the reasoning on other aspects, perhaps it might bring him some inspiration.

As for the understanding of space, he was no doubt of the highest level. When Butcher was in contact with Zerg, he realized that these bugs had a unique understanding of space and time and in this aspect, he would probably have to ask Xiao Fei.

Wang Zheng had already passed a portion of the reasoning to Xiao Fei. Based on Xiao Fei's ability, she would most probably understand it much faster than him. If not for fear of scaring Xiao Fei, he would have given everything earlier. But Old Merchant had reminded him not to be too scary.

Actually Wang Zheng was worried that Xiao Fei would not want it but luckily, Xiao Fei had no intention of being modest with Wang Zheng. The project was already shared with the team. Using Xiao Fei's words, those people were already yours, and you would not need to be modest with your own people. Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry at her words. But then Wang Zheng thought of her seductiveness and he also started imagining things…

After chatting for a while at Butcher's place, Wang Zheng was called away.

Zhang Shan and the others were waiting for Wang Zheng. Only Xuan Grade people could form teams and undergo training and learning for team battles. And this team leader had to be Wang Zheng.

At the other federations, this was also very important because once you became a team, no matter whether it was entering the Abyss or graduating in future, the team was a very important support to them.

It was even more important for bigger countries like Aslan. Whoever who formed a team with the strongest people would indubitably possess a bright and high flying future.

The Earthworm Federation was also not very strong. Of course there would definitely be Xuan Grade people but no one would use Eisen and the others.

Zhang Shan also did not know what plans Wang Zheng had. Eisen and the others really wanted to join Wang Zheng but Wang Zheng also had his own considerations. The opponents that Wang Zheng would be facing would definitely be from Xuan Class 1. Not to mention Eisen and his group, even he might not be able to catch up. Zhang Shan did not want to drag the group down hence he still needed to see what plans Wang Zheng had.

When Wang Zheng arrived and understood the reason behind everyone's serious faces, he was amused. "We are now only at the practice stage, of course there is no problem. We can have friendly duels. As for future competitions and whatever, we have to look at the situation then before deciding."

The real team was not built yet. Wang Zheng also could not just do as he wished. But at the moment there was definitely no problem. The number of people in the team just had to be enough.

After meeting with Zhang Shan and the others, it was as though he had eaten a calming tablet. Wang Zheng received an unexpected piece of news. This person he knew but was not very familiar.

Takumi…

He remembered that he was

from the Big Bear Federation. Black Tortoise's Xuan class 1. He was a very strong opponent on the Elites competition.

Takumi was also helpless. Long Ma was like a little wife who was abandoned. In the past they trained together. But now Takumi could no longer bring him along. Takumi had made his choice. Between Wang Zheng or Lear, he chose Wang Zheng. Perhaps Lear was more alike, and closer, but he was a young person. He did not understand the complicated thinking of older generations. He was sure of one point, that fighting together with Wang Zheng, no matter whether he lived or died would be a very happy thing.

Besides, one of his brothers also thought so.

When Wang Zheng saw the two people, he was stunned too. Because the other new student was actually Vincent.

Li Zhilong had died. Manaluoso would have to provide another new person. This thing was definitely not over. There would be internal investigations and everything else. After all, this was also something big. Except he did not expect that Li Zhilong also did a bunch of horrible things at Manaluoso. Hence his death seemed to be like getting rid of a pest. This was something they never expected.

Vincent's family was specially suppressed by the Li family and Vincent was also a representative. Taking this chance, Vincent came out and officially entered the Elite Academy X.

It was rumored that this Vincent's talent was better than Li Zhilong hence he was always specially targeted by the jealous Li Zhilong.

Seeing Wang Zheng, a bright smile spread across Vincent's face. "Wang Zheng, are you a little surprised?"

Chapter 767: Strong Combination

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The Vincent now was also very different from the time of IG. Looking at him, he had matured a lot. Most likely in this one year or so, he had experienced some tough training. His aura was very different.

"Vin is a new student entering the school. He will take over Li Zhilong's place. The Li family is used to being arrogant in Manalasuo. Who knew that he did not know how to hold back even when he entered the Elite Academy X. Serves him right that he died." Takumi said. Obviously they were very displeased with the Li family too.

"Welcome, it's really unexpected. You feel different from the past." Wang Zheng laughed.

Vincent idolized Wang Zheng a little. His understanding of the Golden Wheel Battle King indeed brought great impact to Vincent. Now he not only could use the Golden Wheel Battle King more familiarly, most importantly, that type of spirit and thinking opened a bright path for Vincent. And he also gained actual approval from his family. The improvement he had made in this one year was indeed very big.

You could see it from the peace and confidence on Vincent's face.

"Wang Zheng, you are now in Xuan class 1 and can form teams to take part in team battles. Do you have any more vacancies left, the two of us want to join to your team," Takumi said directly.

Vincent also nodded. "I came here because of you. Actually I do not think that the Elite Academy X is the best place for trials but I want to fight beside you. That will be an extremely interesting thing."

Wang Zheng was also very happy. Zhang Shan was considered 1 but the others would at most be support or reserves. He really lacked powerful team members and he was not like Lear who could use money to hire people. However he did not expect that before he had a headache, two powerful people showed up.

"You guys really came at the right time. It would also be my wish for you to join, welcome!" Wang Zheng laughed.

Vincent smiled. "See, what did I say, Wang Zheng is a hearty person. You do not need to go in circles talking to him. Wang Zheng, I don't mind speaking directly, I'm here to defeat you!"

"Then I will look forward to it. I am not afraid of challenges. The stronger the better!"

"That is the best." The three of them laughed heartily. Takumi explained some situations to Vincent. In this one year plus, Vincent's Cultivation Technique also made huge progress. During the IG, he was actually still learning the basics. His family was also testing him, to see if he had the qualifications. The result was losing the IG and his results were bad. His family was very displeased but what made them shocked was Vincent who failed seemed to have some sort of change. His spiritual strength increased greatly and naturally he received the family's focus for development. And his understanding within also shocked his family. They did not understand why a failure would have an even greater improvement than a winner. That focus and that hard work was very different from the past.

Rather than choosing another day, Takumi decided to play host and treat the two of them to supper today.

He understood from Vincent that the debate raised by Li Zhilong's death was still very big in Manalasuo. The Li family's opponents rose together to attack them, and publicized Li Zhilong's deeds on how he acted without considerations, on how he bullied his peers, and even attempted to be disrespectful to an Aslan Princess leading to a diplomatic crisis and many others. They added many details to all these incidents. Once you looked from the perspective of the country, Li Zhilong was nothing. The image of Manalasuo in the Elite Academy X was very important. Even Arbiters would not be so arrogant. This was like destroying Manalasuo's honor. Hence, they changed their candidate to Vincent. Obviously, Vincent's status was not low and he was steadier. His ability was very good too and they needed to rebuild Manalasuo's image in the Elite Academy X.

"How did the two of you meet?" Wang Zheng was very curious too.

Vincent laughed. "We are long time family friends. Actually in the Milky Way Alliance, there are many who have relationships like us. And this relationship most likely came from the Interstellar great voyage era."

"Shit, do you need to be so cool. Tell me about it."

Takumi nodded his head. "Actually the so called Interstellar great voyage era started from the Solar System. Human's Milky Way Era is also known as the ancient martial arts era. Later the secrets of the heavens were locked down. Cultivation Techniques declined and were destroyed together with it. Ancient martial arts were obliterated. But in reality, not only the Solar System retained these techniques but those which participated in the Interstellar great voyage had also preserved their ancient martial arts."

"Actually most of the big families now came from the ancient martial arts families. If not they wouldn't have the ability to go through the Interstellar great voyage. And some families continued their practice, like both our families, even though we are in different countries."Vincent laughed.

Wang Zheng finally understood. The so called destruction of these techniques was not as easy as it seemed. After all, ancient martial arts prevailed throughout a whole era. Even if its power was reduced to the lowest, it would be preserved and one day it would rise up again. To those powerful ancient martial arts families, using the form of Interstellar voyage to escape from the political winds was undoubtedly the best choice. Today no one would care about what happened in the past. Being powerful was of overriding importance.

Arbiter was also a typical representative and probably the country with the best operations.

On the contrary, Solar System, the place of origin, was completely robbed of their martial arts heritage, which was really ridiculous.

"Wang Zheng, which family do you belong to?" Vincent took the initiative to ask.

Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. "I'm on my own. I don't belong to any family. It's just by chance that I got a cultivation technique."

Vincent and Takumi looked at each other, obviously full of doubt. But looking at Wang Zheng, he did not seem to be lying.

"We're also just asking casually. It doesn't matter. Come, bottoms up, here's to wishing our team a great and bright future!" Takumi said.

Actually it was enough to make sure that Wang Zheng had a Cultivation Technique. As for what family it belonged to and what it represented, that was something to think of in the future. Anyway, it was more fun than being with Lear.

"Cheers!"

Until now, those killing to seal secrets had already long lost their meaning. If no one said anything, then there was no necessity. This was after all an era dominated by ability X, Cultivation Techniques were just considered as support, which meant that it only had a boosting effect of 10% to 20%.

"Wang Zheng, how many people do you have in your team now?"

"After adding the two of you, just right. I have the basic core team already. Plus Zhang Shan and Snow Li."

"Snow Li is in too?" Vincent said. He was a little surprised.

"You guys know each other?"

"We've seen each other before during IG. A big beauty from the Hail Cloud Alliance. She left a deep impression on me." Vincent said.

"Takumi would naturally be in the tank position. Zhang Shan would be the main scout. Vin, I still need to do a little coordinating between you and Snow Li. Anyways, I will fill in the rest of the positions." Wang Zheng said.

"You are definitely the main fighter." Vincent said. "I won't fight with you on this."

Wang Zheng shook his head. "Actually it doesn't matter. In the Academy, it is good for us to adapt to each position."

This was looking at the big picture. Some people might be eager to be in the limelight, but in fact, there was nothing more suitable than the Academy to experience various styles. Of course, they must still choose a course that was suitable for themselves and train mainly in that direction. Once they graduated, there would not be many times where they could have whatever position they wanted. They must coordinate with the team, of course, ultimately that depended on their strength too.

Anyway no one would fight with Takumi for the tank position. Takumi also advanced to the Black Tortoise Xuan class 1. He and Hu Kan were people who were highly sought after. After all, members with good defenses were important.

Similarly Lear was also planning for this matter. In fact, Lear began preparing long ago, and even used his relations with the teachers. He wanted to form a strong team for the Black Tortoise Academy, hence Hu Kan had already decided to join him.

Lear's invitation was quite up to standard, asking Hu Kan to be the leader, but arranging someone at the side to say otherwise. Hu Kan lost and Lear got first place, preserving the face of Black Tortoise. Looking at Lear, he was so modest. He was willing to sacrifice and prioritize righteousness. This was a real man.

After drinking some alcohol, and after a few provocations, Hu Kan patted his chest and on the spot declared that he did not care about the leader's position. He just wanted to fight for the glory of Black Tortoise. Hence, Lear became the leader.

As for Lear's incident, there was also a new version to it. Lear was sneak-attacked by a group of people from Manalasuo. After all, it was unexpected that a good classmate would suddenly be so vicious. This reflected Lear's character. As for Li Zhilong, he had long become an insidious and shameless character. This formed a great contrast with Lear which greatly benefitted him.

After Hu Kan's strong addition, it was much easier for Lear to recruit other powerful people.

It was actually quite tragic for Hu Kan. Because of his defeat at the Elites competition, it meant that he lost all his previous privileges. And whether he could advance to the Earth Grade was another big question. Even if Hu Kan himself did not want to admit in his heart, but the Academy would not think that way. He most probably needed to prove himself again.

As for Achilles and Lie Xin, both of them had their own ways. There was only one thing. Both of them had their own paths, they would not take the path of Wang Zheng or Lear. This was the Solar System Federation. In fact, speaking of it, it did have a level of grandness.

Recently, Huiyin followed him quite closely. When she had nothing to do, she would always find Wang Zheng and Wang Zheng also could not reject her. It was just that the matter on Li Zhilong was settled. It was also quite rare to have such reckless people like Li Zhilong in the Academy.

Rumors were spreading around campus, rumors that Princess Huiyin admired Wang Zheng a lot and seemed to be interested in asking Wang Zheng to join Aslan.

Her royal highness liking the ancient civilization of the Earth was not a weird thing. She favored Wang Zheng naturally because of the abilities that Wang Zheng had shown off. Everyone was envious. Of course, some people from those big countries or families did not care about the Aslan identity. But being valued by the princess was always something to be proud of.

Just that, to Wang Zheng, it was just not a good thing.

"Huiyin, let's discuss something, ok?" Wang Zheng was having a little headache facing the excited Huiyin who wanted to follow him to watch him train.

With Huiyin around, he could not train openly. If he was like this, other people would most probably be the same. If they lose their concentration, there would not be effective.

"Discuss, Brother Wang Zheng, what do you want to discuss with Huiyin?" Lin Huiyin looked at Wang Zheng with her big puppy eyes. Her face was so sincere, and seemed to have the meaning that you have the heart to reject me?

"Ahem, don't you have a top battle team in Aslan? Actually our team has just been formed, and there's not much structure. If you want to watch some high quality ones, you should look at your Alumni."

Wang Zheng could only try to get Huiyin to go off using indirect ways.

Lin Huiyin pouted. "Are you saying that I'm useless? That I only know how to create trouble…"

Wang Zheng quickly waved his hands. "No, that's not what I meant. If you are willing to go, everyone would be very happy. I just think that as a princess, you should care about your country's team. I'm worried that this would affect you badly."

Lin Huiyin linked her arms with Wang Zheng's arms. When there was no one around, she loved to do this. "Brother Wang Zheng is the best!"

Chapter 768: A Leader's Aura

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

What else could Wang Zheng say? Not to mention Wang Zheng, anyone else faced with Huiyin's request could also only accede to it.

So Wang Zheng brought this special little tail and met up with the rest. Everyone agreed to meet after lessons to give the 2 parties of team members a chance to get to know each other.

Wang Zheng had specially applied for a mecha team battle training room from the school. There was no other way. Wang Zheng on the other hand had high authorization and thus could do so. The average person could not do that.

When Wang Zheng arrived, the other four people of the team were already there. You could see that Zhang Shan and Snow Li were on one side and Vincent and Takumi on the other. Both sides were filled with eagerness to try.

Both parties had some initial understanding of each other. They have seen Takumi's ability during the Elites competition. If not for meeting Wang Zheng, he might have a different result. After all he was the representative of the Black Tortoise Region. On the other hand, they did not know much about Vincent's abilities. After all their understanding of his ability stopped at IG previously, and the IG previously had already lost its value as reference material. There was, after all, a big gap over here.

Sometimes, once you had fallen behind by one step, you would never catch up with every step. Zhang Shan looked back at his previous opponents from the Solar System and had the deepest realization. The difference was too great.

If you said that the Zhang Shan before looked up to geniuses like Vincent, then now his emotional state was totally calm. In fact, he had the intention of surpassing Vincent. However the Vincent now was more low-key, and not flashy like previously.

"Ah, Princess Huiyin!" Zhang Shan immediately screamed.

"What Huiyin, oh my god, it really is Princess Huiyin!" Vincent also shouted. The calm, powerful persona was immediately thrown out the window.

Takumi on the other hand immediately rushed over and pulled Wang Zheng to a side and flipped out his book. "Your highness, can you give me an autograph? My good brother, Long Ma and I are loyal fans of your songs. I know how to sing all your songs."

Wang Zheng was also speechless looking at the state the muscular Takumi was in. This group of people, must they be like this.

Lin Huiyin looked very sadly at the group of people. "I really want to see you guys train but Brother Wang Zheng thinks that I will disturb you guys…"

"What rubbish, your presence will definitely motivate us to train harder. We will use 200% of our abilities. Even if he's the team leader, he cannot be an authoritarian. There's four of us against one!" Zhang Shan immediately "revolted".

Lin Huiyin pumped her little fists to demonstrate her power to Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng was also helpless. This group of people valued girls over brothers.

After getting Huiyin's autograph, he could finally console Long Ma. After knowing that Takumi wanted to come here, he was very hurt.

"Sister Snow, your skin condition is so good. After coming here I feel that my skin is a little dry….." Huiyin immediately asked happily.

At first Snow Li and Lin Huiyin were not that familiar with each other but this question immediately pulled the 2 people closer.

"Your highness, you have very good skin. Except that the Elite Academy X's air is adjusted manually. It lacks nourishment from nature. You can use LAMER's moisturizing mask to help you." Snow Li said smiling.

"Sister Snow, Just call me Huiyin. I have heard much about you from brother."

"Why would he talk about me." Snow Li blushed. "He surely talked bad about me."

The 2 girls chit-chatted and quickly found common topics. On this point, Zhang Shan said it right. Lin Huiyin's presence raised everyone's desire to perform.

"Everyone, I think you know each other now. I asked for this meeting today mostly to give us a chance to have friendly battles, to grasp the feeling of fighting. We don't want useless people in our team." The Wang Zheng at this moment was different from his usual calm demeanor. He was like a ruling king.

"Haha, Wang Zheng, then we will use all our trump cards. Using you Earthlings' words, you will see me differently!" Vincent was also excited to try.

"Saying it now seems a little too late, but I did not use all my strength previously." Takumi said.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's begin. I'll let you guys see what is called the undefeatable space controller!" Zhang Shan was also eager to try. He did not just laze around during the holidays. He spent a lot of time in the gravitational room. He sacrificed even his time for chasing girls just so that he could fight for glory during the new semester.

"Then let's begin!" Snow Li nodded. "Except, what method are we using, single battle or team battle?"

Wang Zheng laughed. "Since everyone chose me as the team leader, let's have a 1v4 battle."

As Wang Zheng spoke, the whole room became quiet.

"Wang Zheng are you joking?" Vincent was stunned.

Wang Zheng shrugged and laughed. "Try and you will know. I've improved a little recently, just right I can test my skills out. Well, it's all our own people here, even if I lose its not embarrassing, right?"

"Ok, since Wang Zheng is so sincere, then we don't have to be so shy. If you have grievances or vengeance, take this time to get back at him. Everyone lost before, right? Just in time, this is also a good chance to fight him one on one!" Zhang Shan said. Four against one, from a philosophical perspective, at the instant of exchanging blows, that was also a one on one battle.

"That's a good idea, I'll be the judge. Everyone no need to worry and just battle!!!" Huiyin was so happy she clapped. She really came at the right time.

Except on the other side, at the Aslan Alumni, a few teams were undergoing practices. However everyone's hearts were obviously not at the right place. They all hoped that the princess would come and take a look. As long as Huiyin was there, everyone was fierce, as though they had taken some drugs. Without Huiyin, everyone felt that the battles were like mechanical work and were uninterested.

Hocatolin was also quite bored. He came also for Lin Huiyin. Hocatolin's surname was also Lin and was considered related to Huiyin. In addition, Hocatolin was indeed strong and the royalty had high hopes for him. It was definitely helpful for his future developments if he had a good relationship with the princess. His ambitions were not small. Hocatolin did not just want to be some fleet's captain. His goal was to be the commander of the army, or even higher. He wanted the name Hocatolin to be forever carved in Aslan's history.

Losing to Wang Zheng in the Elites competition was also a heavy blow to Hocatolin. He would either be destroyed in failure or to reborn through victory. Lin Huiyin was not here so Hocatolin trained on his own. The atmosphere of Aslan was not bad, at least they were united.

In the other training ground, Wang Zheng and the others had already started to choose their mecha. Wang Zheng had such a request because of one simple goal. He wanted to establish his authority.

He was the team leader and needed to show off the aura of a team leader. In future battles, he needed to have his orders followed. He needed everyone to give their all. As the team leader, he had to convince his own team members. This was not about having a good temperament or anything.

He needed to use strength to conquer his team members.

It was okay to be joking normally, but during battles, they had to be serious.

Huiyin was not as clueless as before. After joining the Elite Academy X, she was tutored in related battle statistics and understood the battle powers of these few people. She knew even clearer how difficult it was to have a super warrior undergo one against one. This type of one against many was a very difficult battle situation.

Snow Li chose the sniper type mech warrior of the Hail Cloud Alliance — the Ice Arrow No. 1. In this formation, Snow Li thought about it before making the choice to act as support. This was better for the team, besides, the ice element ability's long distance effect was not bad.

Zhang Shan chose the Wind God. One had to say but this had a bit of the meaning of showing off in front of the master. Zhang Shan had a good characteristic. That was he never knew what fear was. He dared to advance, he dared to rush forward and he was even better at handling emergency situations.

Vincent chose the Golden Wheel Battle King. There was almost no hesitation. Vincent quietly closed his eyes, engrossed in his own world. This one year plus's hellish life flashed past his eyes. He had shouldered all the responsibilities of the failure in IG. This was what a man, a team leader had to do. And in reality, you could not escape from the punishments just by taking responsibility. Various criticisms bombarded him and it was the Golden Wheel Battle King who accompanied Vincent through his difficult time. He could forget all the troubles from the outside world during mecha training and enjoy his own peace and happiness.

Focus determined success. Only in front of Wang Zheng could he really see if he had truly improved.

There was no doubt, the Golden Wheel Battle King was the strongest attacker!

Takumi looked at the choices of the other three. Flexibility, attack power, all these were enough. To be honest, whoever it was to face with an attack from these three would have a headache. At this moment, he only needed to choose a heavy armor defensive mech. You could say that they were already undefeatable, unless one had a runic mech. However, this was not available in the system. The regular mecha, even if it were the most balanced warrior type, had their disadvantages.

Takumi actually understood what Wang Zheng was trying to do. As the team leader, he had to have such a resolution. If not he could not make them follow him willingly. Except, to fight them one by one, it felt like there could be something. To actually ask for a team battle, this was a little like belittling them.

Takumi chose the Bear Heart 8th Gen from the Big Bear Federation's Bear Heart Series. This was a warrior type mecha. The reason Takumi did not choose heavy armor was because he had considered the problem of mechanical movement. Under the current situation, they did not need much defense. Hence mechanical movement had to be able to catch up. The warrior type was more balanced and if it was piloted by him, it could still defend the team sufficiently. What he wanted was to not give Wang Zheng any chance at all.

"Wang Zheng, don't blame us for not giving you a chance."

You would know when a pro made a move. Takumi's choice made everyone's eyes brighten. There was definitely no chance for Wang Zheng to survive. If it was a heavy armor mech, it might not be able to follow the rhythm of the team battle. Each of them would be defeated one by one. However with the warrior type mecha, there would not be such a problem. In addition to the horrifying attack power of the other three people, it was enough for Wang Zheng to have trouble handling them.

"Wang Zheng, brothers are brothers, competition is competition. Don't hope for me to go easy on you!" Zhang Shan said proudly. Even if they were blood-related brothers, Zhang Shan also wanted to see Wang Zheng being defeated once. This guy was always winning and it hurt his pride. "Everyone, be careful, Wang Zheng's ability raised greatly during this holiday."

Zhang Shan did not forget to expose Wang Zheng's true ability. Wang Zheng also did not know whether to laugh or cry. This group was even more serious than him.

Snow Li also smiled. "Wang Zheng, to be our team leader, take out your full strength. To make it convenient for you to show off, we will not beat around the bush, let's use the duel map."

Team battle duel map… Everyone was speechless. This, this was what people called a woman's scorn. This was the most fatal.

This meant that in the virtual battle ground, there would not be much space to hide or run. Other than a few high platforms and symbolic buildings, it was a total head on exchange of blows. There was absolutely no complicated terrain.

Chapter 769: Capturing the Prey

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

When the competition was going to start, Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei arrived as well. They were originally training and immediately rushed over upon receiving Snow Li's news. Except, they did not expect Lin Huiyin to be there too.

Ai Xiaolu would not do anything to Lin Huiyin. Even though Lin Huiyin was a princess, but Ai Xiaolu's Ai Shi Financial Group also commandeered some power in the Hail Cloud Alliance. The Hail Cloud Alliance was also one of the strong countries. Of course, compared to Aina, Ai Xiaolu preferred Lin Huiyin. That proud princess seemed to be a little too far from ground, and this princess Huiyin was more approachable and cute.

"Wang Zheng wants to fight four alone?" Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei were both stunned. "This guy really is arrogant."

"Brother Wang Zheng will surely win. He never does anything he has no confidence in." Huiyin blindly supported Wang Zheng. Even though Huiyin also thought that the battle situation was really disadvantageous.

Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei smiled at each other. "Your highness, do you really like Wang Zheng?"

Huiyin nodded without hesitation. "Of course I like him."

Ai Xiaolu was stunned. She did not expect Huiyin to reply so readily. But then she smiled. She thought that she was a little evil. Huiyin's like was probably not the same like that she was talking about. This little princess was also too kind and naive. It made her look a little too petty.

"Let's see what mech Wang Zheng is using. This situation is quite difficult. While the four of them had not cooperated before but at this level, they will at least have the basic team spirit and understanding." De Fulei said.

Wang Zheng chose the Phantom King.

If they wanted to win in this kind of team battles, they had to ensure mechanical movement. If not, they were sure to lose. No one here could be defeated with just one blow. Besides, they were all familiar with each other. All three of them were old opponents and most likely had investigated him as well.

Wang Zheng had guessed right on this point. Snow Li, Takumi and Vincent had trained for umpteen times while imagining Wang Zheng as their enemy in attempt to achieve breakthroughs.

Wang Zheng's choice was not surprising. They all guessed that it would be the Phantom King. Its excellent warp power, its control of illusions, its strong attack power, but… its weakness was also very obvious. Once it was restrained, the Phantom King was unlikely to be able to block a direct attack from anyone of them here. Once a mistake was made here, what would follow closely was a barrage of attacks.

The five mecha entered the competition grounds. To Zhang Shan, this was a rare moment where Wang Zheng was his opponent. Zhang Shan was extremely excited.

"Brothers, Wang Zheng probably has some confidence if he dared to battle us. How should we fight?" Zhang Shan originally wanted to command but suddenly realized that he was not the assistant leader. Besides, these three people's abilities were not worse than his.

"Zhang Shan, you are the most familiar with Wang Zheng, how about you take the command for this battle?" Snow Li said.

"I support that." Takumi said. Anyway, no matter what changes they faced, his battle tactic was to pester Wang Zheng to create enough chances for the others.

"I've no problem with that." Vincent nodded. A strong dragon could not suppress a snake on its territory. After all, he also just joined the Elite Academy X.

"Then I'm not going to be shy, I will pair up with Takumi. Takumi will take the front. I will coordinate with him. Try to deplete his energy for one round. Snow will maintain an absolutely safe distance. Don't be careless. I think that if Wang Zheng wants to look for a breakthrough point, he will target you. Vincent, you are a free man. Wherever there is a problem, you will help out."

Zhang Shan said. The others also thought that it was very logical. Snow Li's use of the Ice Archer Mech was no doubt a sniper type. Under this type of battle, the attack range was more than sufficient. If Wang Zheng wanted to attack her, it really would not be easy and Zhang Shan's instantaneous warp was also very powerful. Even if Wang Zheng had the ability to reach up into the skies and deep into the ground, he could also forget about escaping from Zhang Shan.

The four mecha started to move. Takumi's aura was strong, he piloted the Bear Heart Mech and advanced without hesitation. Actually even if he had no confidence in a one on one to win, but Wang Zheng and him was at most at a 60-40 situation. With the addition of three others, you did not know if Wang Zheng was being confident or over-confident.

Zhang Shan's Wind God lagged behind by five positions. The Wind God was originally good at movement and was very flexible. In addition of his own movement abilities, he did not intend to go head on against Wang Zheng. He wanted to control the rhythm of the battle. When Wang Zheng wanted to target one person, he would provide support at the first instant. Zhang Shan usually relied on his brain to fight.

Snow Li's sniper rifle was already ready. She was still quite confident in her precision. She needed to catch the chance. Vincent on the other hand was between the two groups. His Golden Wheel needed to wait for its chance. There was no rush for him to attack first and he might accidentally injure the others. He needed to wait for the right environment and this all depended on whether the other three could create that for him.

Wang Zheng's rune sword was out of its sheath. Looking at the mech warrior rushing towards him, the Wang Zheng now already had a qualitative change from the him before the holidays. His life or death fight with Heaven allowed his spiritual strength to advance to another level. Faced with this type of battles, that type of excitement had reduced greatly. He became a calmer excitement. Strength, sensitivity, observation, and spirit, all his aspects were raised, yet he was not reckless.

There was no doubt, Wang Zheng's mental situation for battles had moved one step towards the Earth Grade.

Hong…

As the sniper, Snow Li fired the first shot. This was an outright attack. With three absolute powerful people blocking him in front, how could Wang Zheng rush up to her.

With Snow Li's attack, the Phantom King immediately made an evasive move and Takumi exploded with a howl. The mech rushed over like a fierce beast. He was totally not afraid of Wang Zheng's attack, especially under such situations, once Wang Zheng was restrained by him, he would fail miserably.

Hong…..

Grand Earth directly exploded and formed a suppressive atmosphere covering the Phantom King. It created an absolute relaxing environment for the rest.

With such a reliable team mate, who wouldn't be excited.

The Phantom King moved quickly, obviously it could not be restrained. This a**hole was also really not shy, using such explosive strength upon starting. There was not even the chance for him to warm up.

Suddenly warning signs appeared. The Wind God appeared. What the f**k, this Zhang Shan he actually used his warp ability X upon starting. Must he be so vicious?

"Wang Zheng, if you want to be the team leader you have to fight with some real abilities." Zhang Shan's cocky voice came from the public channel. It was too wonderful to act high and mighty in front of Wang Zheng.Top of Form

The runes of the Phantom King appeared and instantly a residual image appeared. Zhang Shan's beam saber did not even slash and the magnetic source was immediately launched, chasing the energy body in front. He might be cocky with his words but his movements were not slow at all.

Wang Zheng instinctively did not change to his physical body to escape and was still in his original spot. But Zhang Shan's mouth spread into a proud smile. His magnetic source was cancelled halfway but he did not pull it back over. Rather he formed a sandwich attack with Takumi.

Let's see where you could run to now, leader!

Ai Xiaolu and the others frowned. Wang Zheng's thinking was too naive. He should know that these four were all talented. If under the situation without stress, then it was too easy to make the judgement and Wang Zheng could really be played to death.

Hong…

The Bear Heart Mech had already thrown a punch over. With team mates, Takumi had even less concerns. This type of concept was totally different and the power he exerted was not on the same level. In the usual battles, he had to leave behind some energy but now he totally did not have to. But Wang Zheng would not dare to use all his strength. Once he used all, he would not be able to retreat. At a side, there were two other mecha waiting to pounce on him.

This move was a head on clash. The Phantom King flew out upon the clash. Obviously he could not handle a head on clash. The Grand Earth power was too adept at causing vibrations and shockwaves. To deplete his strength blocking this type of monster… the Phantom King would definitely be beaten to death.

But a roar erupted midair. Vincent's Golden Wheel Battle King!

At this type of distance and he dared to use the golden wheel, was he not afraid of causing accidental injuries?Top of FormBottom of FormTop of Form

Almost at the same time Wang Zheng decided to retreat, the golden wheel attacked. It was totally a move based on instinct. Vincent believed that this was the only choice and he had the same unlimited confidence in his golden wheel.

The rune sword blocked.

Hong…

Wang Zheng's rhythm was broken. Zhang Shan's attack reached him. Double step spatial movement. The beam saber slashed down viciously. This rascal was really not holding back at all.

Peng…

A mirage flashed out and the energy body directly blasted towards Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan had no intention of retreating at all. He met the blow directly. No matter how Wang Zheng switched between the mirage-reality mode, he had people, there was no need to be scared!

The mirage exploded and the Wind God rushed out. Zhang Shan this rascal's power… was no longer comparable to the past, his physical techniques… no, perhaps he had a breakthrough in his cultivation technique?

Hong…

A vibration came from the ground and the Bear Heart mech, like a fierce beast, directly bashed towards the real body of the Phantom King with a Leaning Landslide.

This was really a solid blow. Vincent already followed up. He realized very clearly that the rhythm was now totally in their hands.

There was even no need for Snow Li to make any moves.

With three Xuan Grade individuals who had sufficient IQ, sufficient ability, they could delegate duties well and cooperate well, against one, it was an easy prey.
