Wang Zheng’s opponent for the second round was from Black Tortoise Region’s Xuan Grade Class 1. It was said that other than the ruler of Black Tortoise, he was considered to be the second best.
Other than Zhang Shan and the rest expressing their congratulations, there were no other thoughts. Wang Zheng this guy had always been unlucky, as he would likely be able to pass the second round with his potential. In the end, he had instead met with such a guy, especially after the situation in the first round, but the other party should not be too concerned about him.
And this would be the first match in the truest sense. After all, the previous idiot did not even use his ability X, while the biggest difference between a Xuan Grade Class 1 expert and the Huang Grade was the use of their abilities.
Takumi, from the Big Bear Federation, had a burly body. Amongst the four academies, the Black Tortoise Region is the only one the focused mainly on defense. Due to the fact that they had special training in defensive techniques, Takumi had been influenced by his mentor. However, his potential was not inferior to Hu Kan, and it was said the Hu Kan was rather appreciative of his disciple.
Although Hu Kan was also a Xuan Class 1 expert, he had entered the Region two years earlier. Being able to garner such a high evaluation from Hu Kan, it seemed that Takumi’s talent was one that was rarely seen.
The Big Bear Federation was mostly introverted, and were rarely arrogant, and Takumi was also typical to the norm. His calmness was also the reason for his rapid growth. This mindset was the most suitable for Black Tortoise Region. Although offense was important, but a secure defense was more critical to them.
Takumi not only had an outstanding mindset, but also had a defensive skill that was as stable as a mountain.
“Jar Jar Mi, what are you so engrossed in?” Long Ma was Takumi’s eternal rival, and was from the Versailles Empire. He had an excitable personality, and loved to fight against Takumi. Although Takumi’s abilities were extremely strong, he was also quite welcome, and loved to help other students. While he was obviously powerful, but did indeed look a little weak, and once had even been ‘bullied’ by Huang Grade students. However, Takumi did not mind it, and every day was spent laughing and joking. In his own words, helping the Huang Grade students to gain confidence was in fact a good thing.
Long Ma had rarely seen Takumi this serious. Takumi raised his head and smiled, “Someone sent me a very interesting video.”
“Oh who? Is it from a beauty, let me see.”
“No, it’s my next opponent.” Takumi happily laughed.
“Damn, I heard your next opponent was a defective good, only at the Huang Grade Class 7’s level. It seemed that it was the opponent who had forced himself to use an Atlantean mech and self-destructed.” Long Ma continued flapping his mouth, feeling a little depressed. He was pretty unfortunate, meeting an expert from the Vermillion Bird Region in the first round and was eliminated by a slim margin.
Takumi smiled and shook his head, “He is very strong, I might not be able to win.”
“Go to hell, you idiot. This is a competition, not the time to be modest. If you were to lose, you would shame our entire Black Tortoise Region.” Long Ma was afraid that this kid would really commit a wrong at the most crucial time, as this concerned the prestige of the entire Region.
Takumi continued smiling and shook his head. “Look at it yourself.”
Long Ma was initially unwilling, but before long his eyebrows started to furrow, and did not speak a single word.
“Who sent this?”
“No idea, is there someone helping me?”
“You are thinking too much about your opponent. I think this guy was unable to deal with Wang Zheng, and was afraid that you would underestimate your opponent, seems like he was rather unfortunate in the last match. However, no matter how strong his physical reinforcement is, his ability X should be far below yours.” Long Ma patted Takumi’s shoulder, “Jar Jar Mi, you must believe in yourself, you are the strongest here, and the pride of Black Tortoise.”
“Long Ma, Ancestor Hu Kan is the true pride of Black Tortoise!”
Peng…
Takumi was smacked on the head, “Can you try to buck up a little! I’m still counting on you to mess around in the future!” Long Ma grumbled with a hint of annoyance.
Takumi smirked a little and returned to the video. He had already re-watched it multiple times, and wanted to familiarize himself with this person.
In that recording, Wang Zheng had used the Phantom King, and the opponent was the super genius of Atlantis.
Takumi did not once think that a person who was able to use the Phantom King to such an extent would have a weak spiritual power.
This was a great opponent.
In another part of Black Tortoise Region, Lear’s mouth bent into a smile. He had said before that this era would be the rise of the Solar system. However, Earth did not need Wang Zheng, because it was sufficient that he was present!
Giving Wang Zheng some minor troubles was also a large joy on his part.
Luo Fei was smiling ear to ear on the side. In fact, he had some words that he had long wanted to speak out. Why did he think that such tricks would not work out every time?
After some consideration, Luo Fei still smartly shut his mouth. Even if he had said it out, he would definitely endure another beating by Lear. In fact, the rise of Earth still required the support of even more elites, and it was said that Meng Tian had achieve quite the fame in the Milky Way Military College. Her performance was rather extraordinary, and could not be compared to her talent in the past.
However, such a big issue like the rise of Earth was unrelated to him. If the Earth needed some manual labor, they could find him instead.
Fatty immediately came to a realization, and could not help but hurriedly shut down his train of thoughts.
He immediately recovered the demeanor of a ‘top tier expert’.
It really wasn’t easy to be a pure and simple ordinary good in this era…
Wang Zheng remained in Butcher’s laboratory for a long period of time, and Butcher disclosed to him many secrets about the Abyss. It seemed that scientists like Butcher were extremely interested in that place, only that it required an extremely strong ability X just to survive in that place. Even if it was only to stay inside for a short movement, it was something that Butcher was unable to do, but that did not diminish his interest in the Abyss.
“Wang Zheng, your conditions are in fact the best to undertake this project. In the future, you will be able to experience it first-hand. Do remember to record down what you feel in there. According to my conjecture, this mysterious place is not something that was naturally formed.” Butcher said, regretting the fact that he was unable to enter and stay in there for a period of time.
Wang Zheng smiled, “Ancestor, I also really wish to enter. However, according to the school rules, one had to at least reach the Earth Grade before having the qualifications to do so?”
“It isn’t entirely necessary to reach the Earth Grade. Basically, every time that there is a mission, the Academy will choose a few excellent Xuan Grade students to broaden their horizons.” Butcher said.
Wang Zheng exasperatedly waved his hand, “I’m still in the Huang Grade.”
“Haha, it seems that I’m a little anxious. But speaking of which, you seem to be a little distracted. The competition this time round is a great chance for your training. If you were to be awarded a named spot, I will definitely personally help design the mech for you.” Butcher began to ridicule him. Although he appreciated Wang Zheng, he also wanted to train and nurture him from his heart. They did not have a common teacher and student relationship, but more of a master and a disciple. This was also a special feeling that was brought together by the club.
“Ancestor, I am very serious about the competition. However, I’m not sure if I will be able to attain the qualifications in the end. If I really do end up winning, dear ancestor must remember what you have promised.” Wang Zheng said. If Butcher really participated in the designing of the mech, the result would definitely be different.
The difference would be just like how a personal mech made by humanity was different from a common one. The manufacturing method would be much more complicated, the performance would be incomparable to a mass produce mech.
