Tempest of the Stellar War - Page 569/571

When it was 6 PM, Wang Zheng logged in to the World of Saints punctually and started his part-time career.

He started the life and death match. After yesterday’s battles and especially when he had announced previously that he would be back today, the number of challengers was rather astonishing. Obviously, the number of challengers was still reasonable. The key was that there were over ten thousand spectators!

This had caused those big organisations that had run wild on the Acolytes’ level for the past few years to be shocked. All along, they had believed that the number of people of the Acolytes’ level weren’t very high. This was clearly a misconception. After entering the Acolytes’ level, their practice had slowed down. It was especially so for those who weren’t that gifted. This weren’t things that could be overcome by piling up time. A considerable number of people would not be spending too much time here. Although the World of Saints was amazing, there were a lot of people who were more amazing in the real world. Therefore, majority of the people were treating the World of Saints as a spare tyre. It was true till Wang Zheng’s appearance. Obviously, Wang Zheng still had to thank somebody who was publicising his matches aggressively.

Lear’s idea was simple and that would be to push Wang Zheng onto the rack to be roasted. This type of pressure and attention were things a normal person couldn’t bear.

As for Student Wang, he was full of anticipation for the number of people today. He would have to put up a good performance. He might really be able to raise the sum Xiao Fei needed in a short amount of time.

He had to choose the opponents seriously. A battle with enough exposure and quality was definitely necessary.

Tentacles who was beside him was also helping him to choose. “Tentacles, help me choose someone who would be a bit stronger.”

Tentacles pointed at one of the people. Even he was feeling dazzled. “This person…”

“Great, it will be him then!” Wang Zheng immediately made his choice. After which, his whole body was engulfed in a ball of light and he entered the colosseum. Tentacles pointed to the air in a daze. “This… I was trying to say why is he here? Damn. Isn’t this the boss of the Wind Group?”

Things were starting to escalate. The leader of the Wind Group for the Acolytes’ level was “Heaven’s Rebel”. He had the best Cultivation Technique, the God Sealing Art, for the “Wind” attribute of the five phases. In addition, it had only been six months since he entered the World of Saints. He was accepted into the Wind Group very quickly and had become the leader on the Acolytes’ level.

Initially, Heaven’s Rebel did not have to make the move himself. Even if the person had offended the Wind Group, there were enough underlings. However, it was a different case when the trial to become a Saint was involved.

Frankly speaking, although the Wind Group was very strong, it still wasn’t enough in the eyes of Heaven’s Rebel. The Wind Group and Heaven’s Rebel were only making use of each other. The Wind Group fancied his talent in this aspect while he needed the Wind Group’s resources and large manpower. His true goal was to become one of the five Saints.

Wang Zheng was the one who was in possession of the legendary Saint’s Trial. This was something that Heaven’s Rebel was very willing to possess.

The recent rumours had directly distorted Saints Trial to Saint Master Trial. One should know that no one had heard anyone capable of starting the Saint Trial in the Disciples’ level. Wasn’t the Saint Trial of the Disciples’ level also the Saint Master Trial?

The rumours that were spreading seemed to be extremely vivid.

Heaven’s Rebel’s Cultivation in the “Wind” attribute aspect were seen by many to be No.1 in the Acolytes’ level and was known as the No1 Wind User of the Acolytes’ level.

Heaven’s Rebel wasn’t wearing a mask. From his looks, he hadn’t reached 20 years old and was rather young. In the World of Saints, the younger one was the greater value he had. Heaven’s Rebel seemed to be approximately 16-17 years old. Considering that he had such talents at this age, one wouldn’t be surprised the Wind Group was willing to invest so much into him.

Wang Zheng wasn’t concerned about this. He had opened with eight hundred thousand for the first match. It seemed that the teenagers nowadays were really rich.

Heaven’s Rebel scrutinized Wang Zheng calmly. Other than the black mask that seemed like a show off, he wasn’t like a real pro in any manner. He had even started to doubt if the rumours were true.

“This match will be exciting. Heaven’s Rebel is known to be conceited because of his own talents.”

“Charcoal indeed has some skills. It should be an evenly-matched battle.”

“I still believe that the chances of Heaven’s Rebel winning are higher. Charcoal isn’t shabby, but it is a pity that he has only been here for a short time. He’s too anxious.”

“You can’t just say that. He has the qualifications for the Saint Master Trial. He might be hiding his real strength well.”

“Not showing it at all? If Cultivation Techniques could be mastered easily, we wouldn’t be working so hard on it.”

No one had expected the leader of the Wind Group, Heaven’s Rebel, to take action by himself. Moreover, Charcoal had chosen him in the first instance.

Based on yesterday’s form, this would definitely be a heavily contested and even match.

Wang Zheng stared at the opponent and wasn’t moving an inch. This was because he felt rather embarrassed.

Heaven’s Rebel curled his fingers naturally and said, “Come on.” He looked just like a grandmaster.

After which…

Rub…

Wang Zheng struck like a lightning. Heaven’s Rebel’s eyes dilated instantly and his posture became stiff. He was preparing to counterattack, dodge and many other possible things.

Wang Zheng’s hand chop landed heavily on the neck of Heaven’s Rebel. Heaven’s Rebel revealed an unbelievable look and he fell to the ground.

The whole spectator area was speechless. Was this the heavily contested and even-match they were expecting?

Heaven’s Rebel had been knocked out within a second?

Heaven’s Rebel was truly going crazy. Accurately speaking, he was driven to extreme anger. The opponent had really hit him when he asked him to.

Wang Zheng was feeling helpless. This was because after his calculation, if he was to follow the tempo of yesterday, he wouldn’t be able to earn that much money even if he was to die of fatigue. Therefore he decided to end the battle quickly and decisively. He had not expected the opponent to be so accommodating and asked him to thrash him immediately when he came onto the stage. How could Wang Zheng feel good about it?

The leader of the Wind Group, Heaven’s Rebel, had been knocked out with a single blow of a hand chop and didn’t even have a chance to showcase his skills.

Everyone was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. No wonder the Wind Group could only go to the Disciples’ level to show off. With this type of leader, they were definitely only good at talking but not doing the work. Just the attitude of taking the enemy lightly was lethal.

However, Lie Xin did not feel the same way. What a bitterly cold strike!

She was still at the Disciples’ level. However, the Lie Family wasn’t lacking in money. She would naturally be interested to witness this lively occasion. As for Lie Guang, he seemed to have turned over a new leaf and was diligently practicing.

Although it was true that Heaven’s Rebel wasn’t paying attention, the instantaneous invocation of the Cultivation Technique would at least allow the user to react even if the user wasn’t able to completely avoid the attack. Lie Xin had enough insight. She could only say that the realm that Charcoal had attained was way ahead of the opponent.

Eight hundred thousand for a match. By finishing each match quickly and decisively, Wang Zheng felt that he could fight a little more. He knew clearly that these type of duels would not last forever and he didn’t had the intention to continue too. Therefore, he didn’t have to hold back.

Immediately, he had chosen the second opponent.

At the same time, Yan Xiaosu and Ye Zisu weren’t idling. They obviously know about the troubled circumstances KING was in.

“Little Lucky Star’s recent expansion has mainly been settled. How much capital can you mobilize?” asked Ye Zisu.

Yan Xiaosu shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “Actually, business with tangible goods is really tough. Expanding product lines would mean greater initial investment. To recoup the investment, it would probably take at least half a year.

Ye Zisu also nodded her head helplessly. The problem Yan Xiaosu said was even graver in OMG. Even if OMG sold a mech, the other party would be paying in instalments. It was especially so in some of the newly developed markets which would more likely than not be late on payments. The other party would definitely make the excuse that they had to use the mech for some time to examine the quality.

There wasn’t any quick fix solutions for their problem.

“The issue at Xiao Fei’s side was extremely urgent. Although she said it was easy, I knew that it wasn’t. She had never asked others for help. When she requested, it meant that she no longer had any other alternative solutions. On the bright side, this is also an extremely great opportunity,” said Ye Zisu,

Both of them were tightly involved in the project. They knew clearly they were at the final leg of the project. Disregarding Xiao Fei, even they were rather agitated. If the product could be produced within half a year, it would definitely shock the whole Milky Way Alliance. They would be able to truly hold their heads high and let those who had looked down on them feel utmost regret.

However, both of them weren’t the true people in control of the two companies after all. Even if they wished to do something, their fathers would not have agreed to it. One couldn’t be reckless in doing business.

“Professor Xiao Fei said that Boss would think of something,” Yan Xiaosu said helplessly. The people outside had always believed that Ye Zisu and he were the ones backing Wang Zheng. Who would have thought that Wang Zheng was the one backing them in the end?

Ye Zisu’s skylink had rung. Initially, she didn’t pay much attention to it. However, Ye Zisu was stunned.

“Who is it? You have a boyfriend now?” Yan Xiaosu gossiped immediately.

However, when he saw the name, Yan Xiaosu was stunned too. How could it be her…
