Wang Zheng loosened up his body. He really wanted to get a feel of the realm he could reach with the Primordial Regression Technique stage 3. In the past, he had always thought that Primordial Regression Technique was mainly for training the body. This was a misconception. From physical techniques to Ability X, it was a progressive process. He had to first master physical techniques before Ability X. He had to enter stage 3 to be able to start controlling his Ability X.
A wave like ray appeared within the eyes of Wang Zheng. This was the wavelength of spiritual strength. Ability X was a reaction of spiritual strength interacting with the Major and Minor Cycles. This was Wang Zheng’s understanding. With regard to the Cycle of the 5 Major Elements, he had not been able to fully understand them. However with regard to the basic Cycle of the 5 Minor Elements, he already understood them. After all, he was personally in control of 3 different powers. “Wind”, “Water” and “Fire”.
The truth was these three different wavelengths of spiritual strength. The power of each of the Major and Minor Cycles was controlled within a certain boundary. Adjustment within the boundary was the micro materialization of the Cycle of the 5 Minor Elements. For example, the wave band of “Wood” of the Major and Minor Cycles was extremely long. It could be further divided into “Wind”, “Life” and others. Using “Water” as an example, by adjusting the wave band, it could turn into the form of ice. In most circumstance, this would also be the form to demonstrate its destructive force.
Obviously, using wave bands to explain it might not be very appropriate. However Wang Zheng was sure that no was able to understand it to this point from the research done with regard to it. This was entirely his own understanding by building on his foundation of Primordial Regression Technqiue with his views about the world.
After entering the Elite Academy, Wang Zheng had been working hard to accept the traditional views of Ability X in the Milky Way Alliance. However, after spending much effort into understanding, Wang Zheng still decided to do as he felt as they were suitable for them. As to whether it would be better, Wang Zheng was more willing to believe in the reactions of his own body and that was the Primordial Regression Technique.
The powers of the Major and Minor Cycles represented 5 different types of Ability X. Wang Zheng was convinced that with the correct condition, he would be able to master them. However, it was clear that the powers of the Major and Minor Cycles weren’t the key. It was useless to be Jack of all trades and yet master of none. Mastering the 5 different powers weren’t the key. The key was about how to combine these powers to maximise its application. For example, combining “Wind” and “Fire” or the power of combining “Water” and “Fire”.
This was the hardest part of all. Wang Zheng had gradually found his own direction. Moreover, once he could master the Cycle of the 5 Minor Elements, he could expand towards the direction of the Cycle of the 5 Major Elements. The so called Ability X was actually based on the same principle. One would just need to complement spiritual strength and spiritual control to pair them.
A brand new world was opening in front of Wang Zheng, as long as he could leave this place!
Wang Zheng was trying out his 3 different powers excitedly. He was playing with them on his fingertips. The first thing he had to do was to master the use of these 3 types of powers. Understanding them was one matter. Controlling them was another. This would still require endless and non-stop training.
Old Zhuo had prepared the food and he had brewed a soup of Zerg. Wang Zheng didn’t know what did Old Zhuo added to it. Nonetheless, after the treatment, although it couldn’t be considered as delicious, it wasn’t disgusting. He heard that the Zerg had to be first dried and their liquids drained. After which, they would be marinated or something. Regardless,, these were skills that Wang Zheng did not wish to learn.
After finishing their meal, Old Zhuo asked about Wang Zheng’s condition. Wang Zheng explained it in a simple way but Old Zhuo still couldn’t believe it fully.
However, Old Zhuo was dumbfounded after seeing Wang Zheng’s small demonstration. “How could there be such an ability? Wouldn’t this mean that if you have enough time you would be peerless?”
Wang Zheng laughed,” This is no longer the era of being the sole hero. However, I feel that I could become even stronger!”
Wang Zheng’s voice was full of confidence and anticipation. Even when the Primordial Regression Technique didn’t show any improvements, he would still prioritised it as number one. He had never slacked off a day and was finally rewarded. Recalling his experiences, he would really have to thank Bonehead for setting the right training module for him. That had helped him build up the best habits. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be here today.
“In such a case, the chances of us getting out of this place were greater. For this period of time, you wouldn’t need to do other things and just focus on mastering your own abilities. If there’s anything you can’t understand, you can ask me. I am still confident in the powers relating to ‘Ice” and freezing.”
Li Yizhuo had also made up his mind secretly. He had to get this kid, Wang Zheng, out of here no matter what. Considering his abilities and talents, his talents shouldn’t be buried in this wretched place.
“Old Zhuo, please don’t praise me in such a way. I am still far from it. It is only a possibility. There are many people who might possess the same potential. Also, don’t hide anything from me.”
“D*mn kid. How could you be humble too? This makes me a little uncomfortable. It couldn’t be that you have had a change in personality after eating the Zerg.” laughed Old Zhuo. At the start, he was still worried that Wang Zheng might not be used to the food. However, this kid wasn’t picky with food at all. He was rather impressed with the current Military education in the Solar System.
All along, the various countries in the Milky Way Alliance had looked down on the Solar System. However, the truth was that the Solar System had been working hard to make changes. This type of situation couldn’t be happening only to Wang Zheng. It was the same for Achilles, Lear and the group. In fact, there were others beside them too. It was just that they had been weak for a long period of time and changing the overall image would definitely not be just a day’s work or two.
For the following days, Wang Zheng started to stabilise the realm of his Cultivation Technique. After entering stage 3, his body had quite a number of changes and Wang Zheng would need to familiarise himself with them. At the same time, he had to re-calibrate his mech. Some of the control parameters had changed and would require actual usage to determine. As for Old Zhuo, he was patrolling and surveying every day about the situation. He had to ensure that all the preparations were done.
With regard to the understanding of the “Ice” Ability X, Old Zhuo was teaching Wang Zheng without holding back any. Truly, even his biological son might not receive the same treatment. Wang Zheng could feel it. Whenever he wanted to thank Old Zhuo, he would be teased by him. Using his words, they were battle comrades and therefore were real brothers unless Wang Zheng discriminated him for being too old. Wang Zheng knew that Old Zhuo was trying to not make him feel too indebted.
Old Zhuo also made use of his experience and helped Wang Zheng analyse the situation with his Ability X. If he wanted to walk his own path, all the theories from others, even if it was the so called truth that was concluded by the Elite Academy X would only be references to him.
The most terrifying thing with Wang Zheng was his Analytical ability. This type of analysis wasn’t limited to just analysing matter and could also have some reaction to Ability X. To put it more accurately, this type of ability was probing the very source of living and was rather “bug”.
Honestly speaking, Wang Zheng did not think that it was a big deal. This was just a derivative product when he was practising Atomic Burst. However, Old Zhuo had pointed out the key thing.
That was that the key use of it wasn’t in real battle. Relatively, its uses wouldn’t be that great if used in real battle. However, if it was used in the research, the significance would be extraordinary.
For example for a mech warrior, if he could make use of this ability to analyse, coupled with the fact that Wang Zheng was a maintenance technician, he would be able to understand the limits of this model of mecha; Limits on attacks, limits on speed, limits on durability and et cetera. With endless battle and practice, if Wang Zheng was able to understand the situation of every mech, who could still counter him in a mech battle?
After listening to Old Zhuo’s explanation, Wang Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. This would be a huge project and he would tire to death. However, if it was just used on the mecha that he used often, his understanding of them would also be different.
When compared with Old Zhuo’s level of being a super warrior, the current Wang Zheng still had some distance to cover. Old Zhuo graduated from the Milky Way Military College and therefore wasn’t a professional in battle. Those Earth Grade warriors that graduated from Elite Academy X would be much stronger.
Obviously, these were things after Wang Zheng had returned and wouldn’t be of much use in the battle with the Zerg. Old Zhuo didn’t care if it would be useful. When he thought that the knowledge might be useful in the future, he couldn’t stop talking about them with Wang Zheng. He looked just like a naggy old man.
However, Wang Zheng was great in accompanying and chatting with old people. This was a habit that he had built from young by living with the Old Merchant and he could accept the things that old people say. Thinking of the Old Merchant, this old man had not contacted him for a long time. Wang Zheng didn’t know how he was right now. There was also Yan Xiaosu, Ye Zisu, Meng Tian, Chen Xiu and the rest. Thinking back, he was no longer alone and had a large group of friends waiting for him. Wang Zheng believed that if he was to really die, they would also miss him. Therefore, he still had to work hard and get out of this place so as to continue bugging and disturbing them.
Sometimes, Wang Zheng couldn’t help but think about if Aina would be sad when she heard the news of him missing.
“Boss still isn’t out yet?” The situation on Tita Star was getting bigger. Yan Xiaosu wasn’t confident at all. At this crucial stage, if Wang Zheng could say something to Mu Sen, he would be much more confident.
“Cough cough. The trial he is participating in was of the highest grade. The whole process was confidential and he has not returned. I will tell you in the first instance when he returns.” said Zhang Shan. All he could do now was to delay and believe in the feeling of Meng Tian. However, truthfully speaking, with each day passing, Zhang Shan was feeling more and more anxious and the thing was getting more and more serious.
