“It was right that the champion was Arbiter. However, that was because the Solar System Federation met the Atlantis Team in the semi-finals. Olivios… would be no match for Wang Zheng. There was at least the case at that moment. Wang Zheng was the uncrowned king by consensus in the latest poll online.” said Kong Zhan bitterly.
Golden Fox’s jaws had dropped. What was this about?
Atlantis. Defeating Atlantis? Uncrowned King?
The members of the Red Fox Section were dumbfounded too. The uncrowned king and the strongest person had been assigned to clean the mecha by them?
“Could it be that it was you who scared that shorty from Norton Star away the previous time?” exclaimed Lao Xiong as his eyes widened as though they were the eyes of a bear.
“Don’t listen to what Kong Zhan has exaggerated. It wasn’t that exaggerated.” Wang Zheng touched his nose. Was this guy trying to flatter him until he flew into the skies?
Kong Zhan did not have any other thoughts. He just didn’t want others to compare him with Wang Zheng. It would be like asking for his life.
“I couldn’t tell that you were so strong, brat. Damn! It seemed that it would be difficult for our Captain Red Fox to not become the Squadron Leader. What did you say, Captain Golden Fox. Haha.” laughed Jing Long.
The Golden Fox was dumbfounded. He had never expected such an ending even in his dreams. “Lets go!”
There were not even eating anymore. Clearly, they would not be able to eat. Kong Zhan nodded his head embarrassingly.
“Kong Zhan, it was fate that we could meet one another here. Look for me if you are free.” said Wang Zheng.
To be able to meet his IG opponent in this place, it was really fate, although it seemed that Kong Zhan was a little afraid of him. However, the IG experiences undoubtedly completed one of Wang Zheng’s dreams. It was smooth and he had no regrets about it. Up till this moment, he had done everything according to his ambitions. No matter what was the outcome, he had never regretted it.
Kong Zhan nodded and left with the people that were with the Golden Fox.
Instantly, everyone surrounded Wang Zheng. “Damn, brat. How could you be acting dumb? How could you not tell us about these things?” said Chang Xiaodan. “Finally, we have someone to depend on!”
Wang Zheng forced a smile. How could he tell them about it? He can’t be telling everyone that he was the captain of the second strongest team in IG. That would be hilarious.”
“Move aside. Masters are always humble. Wang Zheng, let’s spar in the afternoon. Damn! I have not sparred with a master before.” said Jing Long.
“I also wanted to try. Did you really defeat the Atlantis? I heard that those people were really sick and their mecha could appear out of nowhere.” said Lucas.
“They were truly something else.”
“I found it. The Solar System Federation has defeated what was widely accepted as the strongest Atlantis team over the past 10 years. Captain Wang Zheng was considered as a one in a thousand year talent!” Otaku Barry said while pointing at his Skylink.
No one was surprised. Although there were restrictions in making external searches, it would not be difficult for a skilled person to penetrate the firewall.
“Ah, there weren’t much news about you. Damn. What was the situation? The restrictions are too tight.” said Otaku Barry with a sad face.
Wang Zheng smiled. This was probably not due to any information restriction but because news about him had been diminished. The other aspects were all unspoken.
However, he was still alive. As long as he exists, not everything would disappear!
Information can be restricted but what Wang Zheng had left behind was glory that wouldn’t be masked for generations. It had been engraved into the minds of the people!
Suddenly, Wang Zheng felt motivated. He was known to have a strong will. A Tita Titan Star would not be enough to trap him forever!
The Old Merchant had always said that the real trial of life wasn’t a match to decide victory and defeat. Instead, it was the internal struggles of an individual.
Thinking back, the Old Merchant had been working hard despite all the hardships over countless years. This was what could be considered truly amazing.
Wang Zheng did not know that he had finally understood this point. His perspective of life had changed since then.
Although he was a student soldier, his composure and control wasn’t something that a student would have. Otaku Barry would be a more classic example of a student soldier.
Otaku Barry had been busy. Clearly, he wasn’t satisfied. In this information sharing era, if such famous things weren’t available on the mainstream media, there should be on some special channels.
The rest had started eating but Otaku Barry was still trying. Clearly, he had his channels and his brothers. This was because he was from Astina and Astina participated in IG regularly. Therefore, Otaku Barry knew clearly what it meant by defeating the Atlantis.
When everyone was happily eating, Otaku Barry suddenly jumped up. “I found it. Damn. This is crazy. Crazy!!!”
“Otaku Barry, what are you doing? What are you talking about?”
Otaku looked at Wang Zheng as though he had seen a monster. “Wang Zheng, it couldn’t be that this battle was the one you were fighting in?”
Barry opened his Skylink and displayed a battle video.
It was the semi-final match against Atlantis’ Phantom King.
“It seemed like it is.”
“Oh god! This battle video was the top news of various non mainstream forum. Rumours had it that it had been shared around crazily. It was said to be the unparalleled number 1 one on one match and considered to be Atlantis’ Day of Humiliation!”
The mainstream media would definitely not have reported this video but a total lockdown was impossible. Such classic battle would definitely be shared around. It was just that the names were hidden to prevent causing a commotion.
Everyone got up one by one. This was something they must watch. Otaku Barry played the video without others telling him to do so. If they were at other places, they might need to be more discreet. However, they were on Tita Titan Star which was far away from everywhere and other people wouldn’t be concerned about it.
Initially, everyone was still eating. However, everyone could no longer eat soon after. After a while, the whole canteen had become silent.
If they were the ones fighting against Wang Zheng, they would likely not be able to stand up again.
Everyone had some understanding about mecha. Every second of operation was extremely difficult. To be able to execute the moves seen in the video would be as difficult as climbing up the sky.
Wang Zheng managed to escape quietly when everyone was still in a daze He had finished eating. IG seemed to had happened just yesterday and Aina was just beside him. He had also experienced drastic changes mentally and felt that he had matured a little.
He couldn’t help but laugh at this thought. In fact, he was still in the prime of his life. This was the results of Old Merchant and Bonehead. Although Yan Xiaosu was his closest brother, his spiritual friends and mentors were all much older than him.
After he was awake, Wang Zheng started to consider the situation of Tita Titan Star. It was a difficult situation. If it was the Wang Zheng a while ago, he could only consider trying to last through it. However, he could take the initiative now.
Firstly, he was with the people of Tita and the Lan Family. The method of killing the chicken to get the egg by the Commerce Organisation was intolerable. A beautiful planet with an abundance of Yuan Qi was already something rare within the Milky Way Alliance. It should never be destroyed. After establishing his stand, he just had to face the issues as it occurred.
For the first step, making Red Fox the Squadron Leader would be a good decision. The atmosphere around the Red Fox Section suited him well. Following orders was a must in the military. Therefore, having a good leader was very important. One could not imagine if people like the Golden Fox or Silver Fox were to become the Squadron Leader. Just thinking about it gave one a headache!
The Silver Fox was looking for trouble with Wang Zheng before Wang Zheng could approach him.
After he received orders from his captain, Wang Zheng immediately rushed to the office of the Red Fox.
Once he opened the door, the Red Fox started scrutinising him. “Have a seat.”
She did not say any other things but continued looking at Wang Zheng. It was as though she wanted to strip him naked.
Wang Zheng was fearless. He grinned and looked at the Red Fox. When his identity wasn’t exposed, he had a way of living. Once everyone knew about it, there was no need to hide it in anymore. Clearly, it also wouldn’t be appropriate. He was the captain of the Solar System Federation team. This was something that couldn’t be erased no matter what. Lear might not be happy about it but as long as he was around, Lear could only be the vice-captain.
“There was a saying on Earth that goes along the idea that ‘A golden Kirin wasn’t anything normal. Once it had the opportunity, it would transform into a dragon.’ Why would you be here?” The Red Fox wasn’t silly. As the captain for the Solar System Federation in IG coupled with the fact that they achieved a historic result of second, being sent here would meant that Wang Zheng clearly had offended someone. Although he wasn’t old, Wang Zheng had good control of his aura. The Red Fox knew that she wouldn’t be able to dominate this little captain, Wang Zheng.
“Captain, as a soldier, following orders was my natural duty.”
“Hehe. It might not be something nice for you but I’m really glad!”
The Red Fox was being honest. After knowing about Wang Zheng’s identity, the strength of the Red Fox Section had changed drastically. The only concern was that the Red Fox did not know how well Wang Zheng could perform in this planet. This planet had restrictions on Ability X users and many people couldn’t get used to it.
“Captain, perhaps the process of getting here wasn’t very smooth but I really like this planet. I would be very willing to fulfil my duties here.” said Wang Zheng. Suddenly he smiled and continued,” The happiest thing was to be under the leadership of such a sexy captain.”
“Which girl was not fond of hearing compliments about her. “Brat, it seems that you have a sweet-tongue and your bootlicking skills aren’t too shabby. No matter what was your identity previously, you are one of the members of the Red Fox Section now. Everyone here would be your brothers!”
Wang Zheng could understand that the Red Fox was afraid that he would be too arrogant and belittle the other members. This would end up doing more harm than good.
Wang Zheng smiled and replied,” I like this place just like everyone. Everyone has been taking great care of me.”
The Red Fox felt more assured. This was a gift from god. “My hands are also itchy now. Let’s go to the training ground and let me test your standard.”
This wasn’t only the Red Fox’s idea but every member’s idea. His name was a little terrifying but everyone would like to know how much of his strength he could use on Tita Star.
On Tita planet, all the Ability X users would be restricted. Users with normal ability-types such as fire and ice would not be able to them at all. They might be able to use part of it themselves but wouldn’t be able to transmit them in the mech. Power-type abilities would also be heavily restricted. This was also the reason as to why the Commerce Organisation was wary of the giants; their elite troops would not be able to use their maximum battle strength and could only rely on numbers. This was something that the Commerce Organisation wasn’t willing to do. The greater the number of people involved, the harder it would be to settle the aftermath.
“Who do you think would win?”
“I do not know. It would be 50/50 chance. After all, the Captain is one of the rare “Wind” element Ability X users. This was unparalleled on the Tita Star!” said Chang Xiaodan.
“I prefer the chances of Wang Zheng, the uncrowned king of IG. Thank god to make him in the same section as me. I could boast about it when I returned to my country in the future.” Otaku Barry was exhilarated. After all, he had just graduated and his heart was still inclined to the military school. IG would arouse great excitement and interest every year in Astina. He had heard from some of his juniors in his previous military school that Wang Zheng’s name had been spreading around through words of mouth. Wang Zheng had attained the “Legendary” status, “Phantom King”, “uncrowned king” and “the strongest human warrior”. The only pity was that he was injured and one wouldn’t know who was the stronger one between Wang Zheng and Olivios. However, close to 80% of the people were of the belief that Wang Zheng was stronger than Olivios. Olivios himself might not have believed that he had the chance of winning against Wang Zheng one on one.
