Wang Zheng did not expect that he would achieve such an understanding. To him now, every time he had such an understanding, it was an extension of life, an experience that could never be repeated. Others were not important to him. In the depths of the icy plains, in the depths of the howling snowstorms, there seemed to be something calling out to him.
Was this the call of the star?
In Titatitan Star, the power of life was vibrant. At the same time, it was complicated. It would be disturbed by many factors and would be lost in that type of vitality. But in the world of ice, there was only loneliness, cold and death. There were not many things, and were very pure. This was what normal people would come to realize. However while Wang Zheng was running, these extra feelings would gradually disappear and he would be pursuing the existence of the source.
It had never been so clear before, even at Tita Star. This originated from the characteristic of the power itself. Ice was pure. It was that straightforward. A power like this looked easy to understand but it was actually even more difficult to get near. It was most adept to use the phrase “Rejecting people a thousand miles away” to describe it. However, under the shell of icy coldness, there was a hint of pure warmth.
This was the heart of the ice.
Ice and fire, the most direct understanding of living bodies. To ability X users, it was something they have always sought to understand.
Wang Zheng had heard from Old Zhuo how an Earth Grader would perceive the world. Except Old Zhuo had also said that it would differ among people even amongst the Earth Grade. He was not a direct combatant and hence his understanding was not thorough. The group of people who really understood their Ability X thoroughly needed to control their own ability’s heart. They needed to understand, to integrate it usage until it came as naturally as breathing. From then on, their ability X would not be just a tool but a part of the body.
This was the realm of the Earth Grade.
Heaven undoubtedly had reached that level. He entered the Earth Grade and controlled the multi-faceted characteristics of wood. At the same time, the backlash of power had already been reduced to the smallest. Hence he could use various wood poisons yet suffer no side effects. It was only when he met with Wang Zheng, a completely illogical monster that he had lost it all. If not, Wang Zheng was not his match at all when it came to a direct confrontation. However, one must admit that brains and physical strength were also part of power, and a relatively important part too
In the world of ice and snow, everything became clean. At the same time, after the desire and complications of the outside world had disappeared, what was left was the true heart of ice.
Wang Zheng had never felt so peaceful in a long time. Wang Zheng’s speed slowed down. At the end everything was at a standstill. Snow scattered through the air and slowly covered him. He became a snowman, a small unimportant snowman. Snow landed on him as though it was trying to keep him warm.
Warmth from ability X users would melt the snow. However the snow on Wang Zheng did not receive any warmth and covered him like feathers.
Wang Zheng stopped moving.
Any Ice Spear City residents would know that any silence in the ice and snow meant death. The scene might look beautiful but it was indeed life-threatening. It could only be admired from afar.
But Wang Zheng really stopped moving.
Time passed by the minutes and seconds. Students in the trial gradually returned. The weather here was unpredictable. Once a snowstorm arrived, everyone had to return to the troop. At the same time the city had to be sealed and under emergency response state.
This was also the reason why this planet could only be a resource planet. The terrible environment was really unsuitable for survival. Any development would be about investments and returns. Obviously, this as a migrant planet had too low returns.
Snow Li and the others only realised that Wang Zheng had not returned when they got back. The instructors did not explain a lot and did not search as well. To search when a snowstorm was approaching would be equivalent to looking for death. A snow terrain vehicle would only go out and not return. The key part was that this student broke the rules himself. This was also his own doing, no one could be responsible.
Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu were no doubt very worried. They really did not know what had happened to Wang Zheng. He was not a person who did not know danger. On the handbook, it was stated very clearly. This was an extremely dangerous planet. Using human strength to confront nature was the most stupid.
But Wang Zheng did not come back. All the students knew and it was rumored that Wang Zheng had broken his own bracelet.
He deserved it.
“Could it be that Wang Zheng had met with some danger, perhaps an ice beast?” Snow Li asked worriedly.
Ai Xiaolu’s facial expression changed. “That should not be the case, there will not be any ice beasts near the city.”
Ice beasts were a type of primitive wild beasts in the Hail Cloud Alliance. They could also be described as the fairies of the snowy plains. They were much more terrifying than the fierce beasts on Tita Star. Because of the advantage of the snow terrain, basically, any mech warrior meeting it also had to retreat and avoid it. This type of beast lived alone. One could only avoid it unless they had numbers. This type of beast’s claws could tear apart steel. Its movements were even more fierce and agile. In addition, it had a mimicry ability. They were reputed as the kings of the snow plains. This was another reason why it was not easy to develop Aisbotan.
Ai Xiaolu on the other hand was thinking about another person, Cronode. This type of battle and hate between families did not need any reason. These 2 families fought fiercely privately. Many died and were injured. While it did not reach the higher levels, but they could never be friends. Ai Xiaolu also just left Cronode alone. But if Cronode made a move on Wang Zheng, this seemed impossible too. After all, such a matter was not easy to arrange and it would not be so fast.
The two of them were glum. The others on the other hand were discussing the situation. This Wang Zheng really could stir trouble wherever he went. This snowstorm was not the usual snow. It was not something a human could withstand at all. Even if it were a mech to meet with such a snowstorm, there would only be death.
They had said earlier on that it was a must to follow orders. No one had expected this ending that it was not people like Cronode or Ai Xiaolu to create problems, but Wang Zheng had to do it.
“Record clearly what had happened. He can only leave it to the heavens.”
Everyone also nodded. Obviously no one had expected this to happen. Everything had to wait until the snowstorm had passed.
There were howling winds and snowstorms outside. If they enjoyed from within the rooms, it was definitely something unique. A warm interior compared to the cruel exterior formed a stark contrast. It warmed people’s hearts and even created a sort of fortunate feeling.
But at this moment, the people outdoors were definitely having an entirely different feeling. If they were in the never ending wilderness, that type of feeling could only be experienced by the people themselves.
Wang Zheng’s whole person was almost buried by snow. But if you paid attention, Wang Zheng did not move even in the strong winds.
Power originated from both the inside and outside, from the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside, everything returned to one, and this was the Primordial Regression Technique.
While the human body was a symbol of human existence, it also restricted human power. From the birth of Earth’s civilisations, from Atlantis to Mayan, to human civilisation, all were advancing on this road of getting more power, especially from the development of human themselves.
Bioengineering, technology, spirit, body, and all these, perhaps they pursued immortality and everlasting youth, or perhaps they sought for unlimited control, but all these ultimately could be subsumed under the name of God.
Because no matter the level of development, humans carried fearful respect for the universe. They were filled with fear towards the unknown hence they needed to be strong, to be stronger.
