“Yes.”
“Wait, none of you are to speak a word about what had happened here.”
“Understood.”
Only after her three companions left, then Snow Li continued using the key to the Hail Cloud Trial to resume watching the battle.
On the screen, the silhouette of Charcoal had started moving. He was advancing forward on his own accord and was not using the terrain to employ defensive ambushes against the mantises.
It was only at this moment, Snow Li realised that one of the trial targets at the bottom of the screen was to destroy the ice lightning mantises’ nest!
For the regular Hail Cloud trial, it was simply to pass through 20 kilometers of the trial area.
To destroy the ice lightning mantises’ nest? This was just impossible to accomplish! Even if a 32 Point Fighting Art was used, it would be impossible to accomplish too.
It was simply impossible for one’s strength to recover quick enough to balance out the exertions! However, it was evident that the use of Cultivation Techniques by this person called Charcoal had already been brought to the point of perfection. He was totally able to recover his own strength through his Cultivation Techniques alone.
In the Hail Cloud Alliance, there was one unshakeable clause when it came to dealing with ice lightning mantises. And it was to never offend the nest of the ice lightning mantises, but to just directly flatten it first with napalm.
At this moment, Wang Zheng also knew that it was almost about time for him to attack. If this continued dragging on, he would die of exhaustion as after all, he did not have infinite stamina.
Two gigantic Windflame wheels were spinning violently. They were getting bigger and bigger, and they had become super Windflame wheels that were over ten meters in size. Wang Zheng was a little speechless, as in the ordinary world it would had been impossible for him to borrow so much power from the outside world. It was a tad exaggerated.
The two gigantic Windflame wheels of crushed everything in its way with an imposing manner then flew through the nest… and caused an earth shattering explosion.
The trial finally ended. Wang Zheng also felt extremely exhausted. Just like what Tentacles had said, this was a trial that was highly likely to toughen a person.
He sent a message to Tentacles immediately. “Thank you, tell me directly next time if there’s another trial like this one.”
After sending the message, Wang Zheng went offline. In theory, it was not possible to use up physical strength in the World of Saints. However, he used up a lot of mental power just now, and his brain was a little stiff. After practicing for a long while he had finally found out that it was not only feasible to create Windflame wheels but how to better do so. However, when it came to minutely adjusting the ability itself, utilizing frequency changes, he was not able to do so yet.
Tentacles’s mouth opened wide. He was practically like a puppet as he opened Charcoal’s message, then he proceeded to slam his head against a tree.
Wang Zheng still felt refreshed after his first attempt of using a hybrid of ability X. Its power indeed had multiplied as compared to before. However, Wang Zheng was still not too satisfied with the control of the abilities.
In the World of Saints, the difficulty of combining a hybrid ability was probably only about 60-70% of the real world. The success rate was higher as on one hand it originated from the settings of the World of Saints, which with pure mental power it would be even easier to bring out your ability X. And on the other hand, it could originate from the cutting-edge techniques that were available.
But no matter what, this proved only one thing. It proved that this type of hybrid was entirely possible, and its power was also extremely strong.
Now Wang Zheng was starting to believe a little of the words that were spoken by Bonehead. If one’s Cultivation Techniques had reached a certain level, and the tolerance of your body was strong enough, it was true that humans would be able to break away from using merely tools. However, humans in the real world and their communication with the natural world was definitely much harder than in the World of Saints. The powers that could be transferred were also not equal. Nevertheless, if it was possible to be so proficient at such ability and if one could use it in a mech, it was also not too bad.
Hence, Student Wang Zheng was very happy. Even though there was no improvement in terms of his finer control of his ability X, but overall this new idea was still considered to be a gain. And it was a good thing too.
At night, the beautiful milky way appeared in the sky. Even though it was an illusion, but it still looked beautiful. Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan were already sound asleep. Zhang Shan was also sprawled out on his back. Even though this guy was very boastful with his words, but when it came to practice, he took it very seriously.
Anything would start getting scary if taken seriously.
As a result, Snow Li was suffering from a little insomnia. It had been over five months since she came to the Elite Academy X. She was not unfamiliar with this place. After all, she was also a student of the Academy X class of the Hail Cloud Alliance, and she was also a representative of the elites. It was logical for her to be here, and not only that, Hail Cloud Alliance also had considerable strength at the Azure Dragon Region. All in all, they were a strong nation, and Snow Li was the representative of the new students. She received advice from her seniors, and these days, she had been improving rapidly, especially in terms of her ability X.
So much so that even the shadow of that person was gradually fading. Just like what everyone had said, some people might have very good innate skill, but origin, opportunities and resources determined your future to a greater extent, and self-confidence could be established by hard work.
The constant improvements had also enabled Snow Li’s confidence to become stronger and stronger. At the same time, her potential that was due to her being born in the year of ice dragon dance was also gradually being exposed.
Perhaps the next time when they meet, she would be able to defeat him.
Snow Li had thought about the many kinds of circumstances where they would meet again. Sometimes she would even be a little worried, would he obliterate all men. This was something very sad. A girl’s heart would always have a little bit of unrealistic dreams, hoping that he was an invincible knight.
Yet as soon as that wheel appeared in the World of Saints, Snow Li immediately knew who that person was. Even though he was wearing a mask, but you would never be able to find another person who was this calm in this world.
Hybrid ability X…
This was considerably rare even in the Xuan grade. But a new student who could be this calm?
It would have been a miracle for anyone to pull off such a combination, and also unfathomable. But somehow for him, it seemed to be rightful and inevitable.
For a trial that was so hard to solve, it was being solved by him so easily. And Snow Li actually felt a trace of happiness.
On her bed, Snow Li was actually tossing and turning a little restlessly. Her heart was thumping hard, how were things between him and Princess Aina?
Wang Zheng settled his heart down to concentrate. He had made new progress with his ability X once again. Even though it was not very obvious, the future path he would take could be seen clearly now.
The relationship between Cultivation Techniques and Ability X could still be developed further. In addition, Wang Zheng had a sudden thought. Hybrid abilities were very difficult in the real world, but they were considerably easier in the World of Saints. In that case, what about the Atomic Burst?
Would it have a different effect in the real world?
Wang Zheng could use his Primordial Regression Technique as a guide. However, this was not something could be easily done. In reality, there was not much that could be learnt from others, and it would require a great amount of time to figure out its method.
Wang Zheng was also curious as to whether diligent practice in the real world would be the same as in the World of Saints.
If it was equivalent, then he would do it. Wang Zheng’s goal for his practices was Zhang Shan’s alarm clock. It was an antique type mechanical clock with metal gears. He also did not know what Zhang Shan needed the alarm clock for, it was the most useless and also the most rugged thing in the whole hostel room. Made with titanium alloy, both of them would be awake every time before the alarm clock even rang.
Wang Zheng stretched out his fingers and took a deep breath. He started circulating his Primordial Regression Technique.
Ring…
The alarm clock started ringing crazily like it had gone mad. This was going to be its last moan…
Zhang Shan dashed out of the bathroom, with his mouth filled with toothpaste. “What just happened, was there an alien invasion… God, my alarm clock, my beloved alarm clock, you have died so tragically!”
Student Wang Zheng was dumbfounded. He was just trying to focus on his Cultivation Techniques, and had totally forgotten that this alarm clock did not belong to him…
This, seeing how badly Zhang Shan was crying, Wang Zheng also felt somewhat sorry.
“Little clock, you have accompanied me since I was two. This was the first present that grandpa gave me, and I have always brought you around with me. It was you who supervised me while I studied, trained, and finally became a useful individual. However, just as I was about to get started, you had chosen to left me, in such a miserable way! God, why!”
Zhang Shan’s scream was so miserable, but there was not even a drop of tears in his eyes. Wang Zheng had no choice and said grudgingly. “Alright, stop shouting. Just tell me straight, what do you want from me?”
Zhang Shan immediately stood up, straightened out his clothes, and wiped off the foam on the side of his mouth. “I have fallen for Mo Ling, so don’t you snatch her away.”
Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay okay, I won’t fight with you, she’s all yours. Geez! But she’s the class monitor of Class Huang-1, you will certainly have many rivals!”
Zhang Shan flipped his hair. “Yeah, right. Who would your brother be afraid of, other than you. I am also not sure what’s going on with the ladies, their eyes would shine whenever they see you. Your presence thus affects my strategy!”
Wang Zheng did not pay attention to Zhang Shan. He continued to practice the Atomic Burst’s motion on it… Since the alarm clock had spoilt, he would just leave it to be devoted to its duties till the end.
Eventually, the clock fell apart completely, and its gears were turning helplessly. Looking at the looping construction on the inside of the alarm clock, each and every tiny gear, and each and every lever… Suddenly, a complete image of an alarm clock in operation appeared in Wang Zheng’s brain.
The idea of Atomic Burst the was not just merely destructive force. Rather, it was saying that all living things in the world had a cycle of their own. Since it was a cycle it would have a central point. And if this central point was directly destroyed, the entire target would fall apart. This would thus require much less force than destroying the target’s body directly.
This was probably the original intention behind this move.
Zhang Shan saw that Wang Zheng seemed a little possessed, and immediately tapped him on his shoulder. “I was joking with you just now. There are plenty of this thing for sale at the entrance of the battle college, fifty dollars for one.”
Wang Zheng rolled his eyes. “Do you think I’m an idiot? I was just struck by inspiration! It gave me the insight to complete the Atomic Burst. However it’s still at the initial stage. Treat me to a meal, my heart had suffered traumatically due to your interruption!”
Student Wang would not stand on ceremony, but Zhang Shan felt his heart hurt a little. Their basic living requirements were all free, however, higher wanting something better would naturally require spending money. Even with the current stage of mankind’s development, communism was still something that was a little far away and capitalism still reigned.
Zhang Shan’s pained expression was suddenly left behind. He pulled Wang Zheng’s arm and whispered, “Look, the highest quality.”
“Where?” Wang Zheng looked over curiously.
A beautiful lady with a pair of long legs came into sight. Her figure was shapely and really attractive, and she had a delicate small face, that was so fresh and pure.
“Face of an angel, and figure of a devil. Such a lady is naturally an extraordinary beauty, and ordinary men would absolutely not be able to resist her. If he was forced to, his life would be shortened by at least ten over years. However, since I am a genius, she’s totally compatible with me.”
Zhang Shan was starting once again. He was not just talking big, but now, he was in his just bragging to the skies.
“What about Mo Ling?”
“Is it a problem for a charming man to attract a few girls?” Zhang Shan’s face make it seemed that this was something proper and should be expected.
Ling Luoyu scowled. She really disliked having people staring at her from all different directions, especially from Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan. Their behaviour was simply crude and absolutely unrestrained. Everyone in the Elite Academy X knew that Ling Luoyu was beautiful. However, one should never, ever keep on staring at her, as the consequences would be severe.
“Senior, I’m so sorry, I invited you for a meal, but I was late.”
Just at this moment, another beautiful lady walked in and was repeatedly apologising as she walked over to Ling Luoyu.
Zhang Shan’s eyes lit up. That’s interesting, the beautiful lady was none other than Mo Ling, who was from Class Huang-1.
Zhang Shan ran over in a few steps. “Haha, Mo Ling, you came here for a meal too? It’s my treat today, let’s eat together? And this is…?”
