The thought of rescuing was the same for both Wang Zheng and Mengha. They would definitely bring Meng Tian and Huiyin back. It was unknown how much the Saint knew about the inheritance, but judging from the current situation, it seemed like not much, or they would not have spent this much effort. This was an opportunity. While the others were fighting for the Son of Saint, he simply hoped to defeat one to save one person. This meant that if he could get rid of two, he would be able to bring Meng Tian and Huiyin back.
While Wang Zheng was aggressive and had the heart to challenge Heaven-ranks, it would not happen under such conditions. Although he had remained calm in the presence of Thirteenth Elder, Wang Zheng clearly understood his strength – it was frightening. Although the opponent’s martial technique was weaker, the difference in experience was unsurmountable. Although Wang Zheng had the Rubik’s Cube, and an innate advantage, the resources and skills of the Saint were not any worse off. The only difference was martial techniques.
If he had the time, he could defeat anyone with 256 Point Blade Technique. This was the confidence that he had.
The problem was time. Hence, they needed to be slightly smarter.
Others had no idea how to leave, but Wang Zheng had one. It was something not even the Saint would have thought of, but it required thorough preparation with the element of surprise.
In this battle of the Oracle, judgment was important. This battle involved his friends, teammates, and close ones, and a single mistake would result in a path of no return. It would not help to be hot-headed, so Wang Zheng needed to keep his cool.
“We need to take this one step at a time. There will be plenty of opportunities. As the Thirteenth Elder said, if I am able to defeat one Son of Saint, I can make a single request. With two Sons of Saint, I will be able to save Meng Tian and Huiyin. In actual fact, our mission is to defeat two Sons of Saint. The Aslan Empire is currently bringing the allied fleet here,” Wang Zheng said, hoping to bring confidence to the rest. The most scary thing would be to have no hope. If the Aslan Empire’s army arrived, they would be able to go against the Saint.
After a simple explanation of the situation, everyone had an idea, but Xie Yuxin knew that Wang Zheng was hiding something, and he did not have to use any abilities to know. It was simple – Wang Zheng did not see the Milky Way Alliance fleet as their savior, as it had nothing to do with them. Even if they defeated the Saint’s fleet, it did not mean that the people on the Oracle Star would be saved. However, Wang Zheng would not simply lie to them. It seemed like he had an idea on how to rescue both of them.
This was what Wang Zheng was like. The first time he met him, he knew that Wang Zheng was a weirdo. When Xie Yuxin’s abilities were weaker, it was just a feeling – a weird one. It was beyond the comprehension of his abilities, but now it was clear, and he liked surprises.
“Cough, Xie Yuxin, why are you looking at Wang Zheng? Is there something going on between the two of you?” Jondi Lilick smiled.
If it was another person who was teased, there would be a comeback, but Xie Yuxin simply smiled, leaving Jondi Lilick with nothing else to say.
“What are we waiting for? Just do it. Who cares? Just defeat one and rescue Meng Tian!” Mengha said.
Everyone looked at each other. How had this guy managed to survive till now? It really was a miracle.
“I think they will move tonight. Cadillana and Bilro will most likely work together. In terms of mech, both of them can be simply considered first class. In terms of physical techniques, they are at the level of Wang Zheng and Lin Feng, and maybe even stronger,” Xie Yuxin said.
Jondi Lilick and the Van brothers looked at each other. “That’s not possible. Wang Zheng’s strength is nearing Heaven-rank, and the five Sons of Saint are at that level?”
Wang Zheng shook his head. “This was not what Yuxin meant. For those who understand the inner universe, it means mastering the true meaning of physical techniques, mastering the power of atoms. Their defense and attack capabilities are beyond that of an average person. Ability X is merely for show at this level, and is hardly effective. This includes your Ability X.”
Wang Zheng was referring to Jondi Lilick’s deadly X damage. If Wang Zheng had not avoided him through the Rubik’s Cube, it would have ended differently, but now that the levels were different, looking back at this ability, it would not be useful against those who had mastered the inner universe. Ability X was merely a physical phenomenon, while the inner universe would be the atomic aspect of the physical world, and the phenomenon would be easily countered.
It may sound sad to mention, and it definitely crushed numerous warriors in SIG, as the direction which they worked hard was on mech. Due to the G-material on mecha, everyone practiced the coordination between Ability X and mecha. However, on the Oracle Star, these were all useless.
Mars and Olivios had spent a greater amount of effort in this aspect due to the Heavenly Overlord Attack.
Jondi Lilick smiled bitterly. “In less than a few hours here, I realized that my Depletion of Life was countered, and it was by the Thirteenth Elder.”
Everyone looked at Jondi Lilick. This guy really had the guts.
Jondi Lilick shrugged. “Ever since coming here, I did not have any high hopes. It would be good to get rid of an elder.”
“If you come out in one piece, it will be a miracle.” Xie Yuxin did not know whether to laugh or cry. When he saw the Second Elder, he had no intention of attacking. Against absolute strength, trying your luck would result in a disaster.
“F*ck, if I had a mech, I would definitely blast them to pieces!” Jondi Lilick wanted to save face, and could not help but say it.
“We don’t have to be so harsh on ourselves. We can’t compare ourselves to the Elders. Lilick is not bad, but he can’t be a main attacker. Normal understanding is not enough to deal with your Depletion of Life. Even if it can be dealt with, it will restrict the opponent,” Wang Zheng said.
Xie Yuxin lightly tapped the table. “Even so, our strength is insufficient, but I have an idea.”
Xie Yuxin had thought of someone. This person might have an idea as he was a smart person. Judging by the time, if they went out, someone would be watching them, but if he came, with his abilities, it would not be a problem.
Suddenly, Wang Zheng’s eyes glimmered and he looked towards the door. After around two second, Xie Yuxin stood up. “Since Brother Tan is here, why not come in and take a seat?”
The rest stood up as well. Someone had managed to come in without them knowing.
Tan Yuyang entered the room. His gaze went over Xie Yuxin. For Xie Yuxin to be recognized by the Second Elder, he had to have some capabilities. When he got near Wang Zheng, he realized that other than the Elders, this was the first time others had discovered him when he was erasing his presence.
As he walked towards Wang Zheng, the rest were cautious, but Wang Zheng walked towards him, and both of them stopped one meter from each other.
Something seemed to have happened between the both of them, and in an instant, Tan Yuyang appeared to be shocked.
Wang Zheng smiled. “I think we are not enemies.”
