Tempest of the Stellar War

Mars checked his own wounds. They were indeed not light. He had best not make any major moves in the next few days. Luckily, the Van family was known for their superior constitution, or he would already be a goner.

Defeated, Mars did not despair, but instead seemed content.

On the other side, Aragorn had hit on the answer. The issue should have been with the switch of bloodthirst and killing power. Could Mars really not switch?

That was impossible. He must have done it on purpose!

Although he did not know the reason, Mars had never intended to go till the death with Wang Zheng.

The only problem was, Aragorn had no idea what was up with Wang Zheng’s attack.

After eating, Wang Zheng also entered a restful state. Zhang Zhun was indeed the most relaxed.

In Mars’ mind, he still held the memory of that attack’s power. Very solid, and the explosive effect was unusual.

This was Mars’ goal. He wanted to test Wang Zheng’s ultimate blow personally, and then share this experience with Olivios. He was on the way out, and Olivios’ fight had just begun. He could not always be beaten by Wang Zheng. Mars had to understand Wang Zheng for himself.

Although the Arbiters were cold, they were rather principled. In the switching of bloodthirst and killing intent, Mars could have done it as well. But in this battle with Wang Zheng, it would be foolish for both parties to be injured. His goal had been met. He wanted to test Wang Zheng’s fighting power. Of course, he had bet on it because he understood Wang Zheng.

Everyone had their own principles and bottomline. Out of those at this level of ability, Wang Zheng was one of the more honorable ones. He himself would not release killing power, and yet force Wang Zheng to a battle. But Wang Zheng would not release a killing blow. Zhang Zhun, from the sidelines, had known it. Such people were rare.

Arbiters were not as simple as they appeared to be. If they truly were, their country would have long collapsed.

Even if they were on different sides, Mars found it hard to dislike this guy. It was a blessing to have such a person as a battle buddy.

SIG was Mars’ final stop at Elite Academy X, and also the complete and final ending of his student life. He might never have a say in his own future again, and he might only take commands. But before he left, he wanted to experience this battle and atmosphere again. That was why his only goal at SIG was enjoyment.

Olivios was strong, but too young. Compared to Wang Zheng, he seemed to always lack a little. Mars could not put his finger on it. But as the elder brother, this was as much as he could help him.

Wang Zheng was a clever person. Since he had dared to do so, then he must have saved a trump card for himself. In truth, he had offended too many, so direct battles would fail.

There was a limit to what human bodies could take. Mars was looking forward to see who the next to act would be. Aslan? Arbiter? Or Manalasuo’s Jondi?

None of them should be crossed easily. And the scary thing was that even if you won a pyrrhic victory, that would only make it easier for the next person.

The less was known, the higher the anticipation.

Aragorn had come by. Although his presence had just wafted by, Mars was too familiar with the flavor of the Warrior Soul College people. Although Aragorn had been “scared away,” the nicknamed “New Warrior Soul” of Warrior Soul College would think of something soon enough and return with a vengeance.

On the other island, a Saruman Snake member hunt was ensuing. The core was Aslan, Arbiter, and Manalasuo’s members. Although they had gradually dispersed, this was a classic bandwagon. First remove target number one. Originally, Saruman Snake was already on the chopping block – thanks to the ostentatious name of Greatest King – and now they were asking for it!

Achilles and Lie Xin were indeed a strong combination, but they had been eliminated after consecutive battles. They were completely overrun. There were many on the island of their caliber, and once they had become target number one, they could not hold out at all. They could not possibly not rest at all.

Achilles and Lie Xin had opened their energy shields, defeated. Both were injured and could not run. Neither had slept in three days, and they could only surrender.

It was hard to hold out, and hard to surrender. This meant that Saruman Snake’s members would flounder completely. The hovercraft loaded them up and ascended. Looking at the island below, Achilles and Lie Xin were unbelievably frustrated.

Just as they should have stayed low profile, Wang Zheng had called maximum attention to them.

“How are our chances?” Lie Xin smiled bitterly.

“Basically none. If even the two of us are in such a state, the rest must be worse off. Without his ability, Zhang Shan has no way to hide. Mu Zhen’s size is not easy to conceal, and Vincent…” Achilles could not finish his sentence. His physical technique was not as good as theirs.

“This time, Wang Zheng- sigh, too rash,” Achilles said.

“It’s us that were too weak. If I were Wang Zheng, I would have stood out as well. You can’t just watch your woman snatched away before your very eyes. Are you a man? Are you a human?!” Lie Xin rolled her eyes.

Achilles grimaced. It was not that he did not support him, but Saruman Snake was about to become the biggest joke. And if Saruman Snake was eliminated, then Wang Zheng could not achieve his goal.

Wang Zheng and Kashawen were on completely different levels. It was an unequal fight.

It was not that Lie Xin was ignorant, but Martians were not as emotional as Moon people. “You of the Moon lack that overwhelming dominance. An inexperienced person defeats a master by throwing out the rules of traditions. Before the results are out, we might still have a chance!”

“You think?” Achilles asked.

Lie Xin was stunned, and did not speak. Actually, in her heart, having made it this far was already admirable. At least they had taken the Greatest King. Even if they met their end here, they had at least fulfilled Wang Zheng’s wish and brought Saruman Snake this far.

Achilles sensed Lie Xin’s gloom. He knew that Lie Xin had longed for such a stage. “Actually, I hold some hope. Wang Zheng always has a plan. Although we didn’t get any tags, if Wang Zheng gets enough tags, we can still pass.”

“Perhaps,” Lie Xin said.

Just as Lie Xin and Achilles had guessed, Vincent had already given up as well, although he was uninjured. He had met Manalasuo’s members.

Only Zhang Shan and Mu Zhen were still holding out.

Mu Zhen thought differently from the rest. This was not a game. To the Tita people, any battle was a war, and there had to be a winner and loser, life and death. He had entered this island B survival, and he would triumph or die. He would not lose face for Ada.

Of course, Mu Zhen was no fool. After making that blunder and being chased, Mu Zhen had entered the forest. With the Tita blood, and at least half of humankind’s intellect, Mu Zhen had discovered something after a few clashes. This bunch of humans were average at jungle warfare. After losing their Ability Xs, they could not even compare. To humans, the jungle was a threat, but to the Tita people, it was their home. The only tricky thing was the laser guns. Humans were not bad at sniping, but Tita people had dealt with similar attacks in their own duels. Their agile surveillance in this aspect was very effective. More importantly, the Tita people could camouflage with the forest seamlessly, from body to presence. This advanced concealment technique was something other warriors could not hope to match.

That was why Mu Zhen was still holding out. A survival ability that was at odds with his physical stature. Although he did not really understand, Mu Zhen vaguely knew that this was connected with Ada’s woman. That was basically the Tita people’s Virgin Mary. Whoever dared to snatch her must go through him first!
